Chinese festival brings culture

IVANA GOLDTOOTH

ucson is a melting pot of visitors from China, Korea, Russia, Germany and more.

This weekend will witness the third annual Chinese Culture Festival at the UA, hosted by the Confucius Institute on campus.

The festival will run from Sept. 20-28 and will consist of several events and lectures.

The theme of the festival centers around “health promotion and wellness.” The institute was founded upon the idea of supporting the Hanban’s strategic plan by combining local characteristics, innovative methods and an integrative approach in order to enhance people’s understanding and appreciation of Chinese language and cultural heritages.

Not only is this the third annual Chinese Culture Festival here at the UA, but this month also marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Confucius Institutes around the world.

“CIUA has established solid languages and culture programs in Tucson,” said professor Zhao Chen, one of the co-directors of CIUA. Zhao Chen added that five new CIUA-affiliated Confucius Classrooms were approved and funded for K-12 schools in the last

“We try to make it a variety; we have herbal medicine, acupuncture,” said Larry Lang, senior program coordinator, on the theme of the festivals. “There’s so many people interested in alternative medicine apart from western medicine.”

Jun Chen, a volunteer, said this will be her first time at the festival and volunteering.

“I think it will be very interesting,” Jun Chen said, “and I’m happy that many people have great interest in Chinese culture.” She added that it will help in bringing awareness to China, awareness of its culture and will help students explore that culture and enjoy it.

Students in the CIUA K-12 outreach programs will attend the festival to compete in the language competition and martial arts demonstration. The demographic of attendants varies from children, and parents, to UA students. Last year alone, there were around 3000 people who attended the festival.

“Each of [the institutes] engages the universities locally,” Larry Lang said. “Mainly [located at] universities.”

The lectures and events being held at the festival will feature UA professors sharing their knowledge of the Chinese culture. Lang says the takeaway from the festival is that the

The fourth annual insect festival is hosted by the department of entomology. Booths will also be sponsored by other organizations such as the Tucson Botanical Gardens and the Southeast Arizona Butterfly Association. “[The festival] is important because we are able to present the importance of arthropods to the general public,” Renner said. “Many of the species at the festival can be found right in your backyard, so this is a great way to introduce U of A students, children and adults alike to the amazing world of arthropods.”

What is your favorite drink to make?

My favorite drink to make is probably the bloody mary. I have a bunch of different infused vodkas.

We infuse vodka with bacon, we infuse vodka with habaneros and we infuse vodka with basil. I get to make all kinds of different, great bloody marys. Our bacon bloody mary comes with a couple of strips of bacon in it and our bacon-infused vodka. We make a very spicy bloody mary with the habanero vodka.

We put a whole salad on top of our bloody marys. You get a cucumber, a pepperoncini, a tomato, olives.

through coffee filters. I triple filter it to make sure to get out as much fat as possible. Then, we throw away all of the fats and the bacon, and we are then left with a liquor that has bacon-y flavor all through it but none of the fats all through it.

It’s a meal.

It’s a meal. It’s one of the few drinks a gentleman can drink before noon.

Most memorable customer?

Well, we’ve been open 41 years, so I have a great deal of very interesting customers. For me, one of the most memorable bar-related customer events I had was … years ago. During street fair, we, as a business, before they began putting beer booths on the avenue for street fair, we sold beer sort of over-thecounter to go, right on the street, until we closed. We would set up tables out by our fence, and we’d be hawking beer to people as they walked by, and this was a different age. One night, when we closed at about 11 o’clock, there was a mini riot where this crowd of people had set up outside our booth, and they

You infuse your own vodkas?

We infuse our own vodkas.

What is the infusion process? Is it just to let the ingredients soak in vodka?

Largely. Bacon’s really interesting.

We pre-cook bacon, we put it into a bottle of vodka and we let it sit in the dark for about a week. Then, we take it and we put it in a hard freeze for a couple of days and the freeze freezes all the fats out of the alcohol and into a solid state. Then, we filter that

H e y, Bark eep!

Least favorite drink to make?

I am personally not fond of ridiculous sweet drinks. There are a lot of girly shots and suggestively named drinks that, to me, are just a lot of sugar in a single little shot.

They’re the “woo girl” drinks, and I don’t particularly love them, but we end up selling a lot of them anyway.

refused to let us shut down. This little riot developed. They stormed the table. People grabbed cases of beer and ran with them. Employees and bouncers were around, but they were kind of drunk. People were tripping and falling and spilling beer out into the avenue.

It wasn’t really dangerous; it was more a festive moment that didn’t want to stop.

What can a customer do to tick you off as a bartender? A pet peeve?

We have a very interesting client

Exorcist” and “The Shining,” films that focus less on the gore and more on the psychological terror of its characters.

Clark said that her film may be more story-oriented than other horror films, which she partly attributes to her feminine perspective as a filmmaker. She adds that horror films directed by men tend to exploit the shockvalue of each individual death scene.

“Crazy Bitches” has plenty of blood to satisfy the average horror junkie, but Clark said that she hopes the audience will recognize her characters’ depth, which may get the viewer to react more passionately.

“Horror is very contagious,” Clark said. She said she is expecting “Crazy Bitches” to get a wide release on Valentine’s Day in 2015.

Clark won’t be the only female director representing at this year’s festival, as Australian filmmaker Penny Vozniak screens her documentary “Despite the Gods” on Saturday.

Chronicling the private and sometimes destructive moments of the making of an Indian film called “Hisss,” Vozniak’s documentary follows its director Jennifer Lynch — daughter of “Twin Peaks” creator David Lynch — as she attempts to complete the film while maintaining her sanity.

Vozniak found Lynch as her next documentary subject almost by complete accident, as she got sucked into babysitting Lynch’s daughter while stopping off in Mumbai, India, to visit a friend. By the next week, Vozniak said she had found in Lynch the perfect subject to document, with her tenacious personality oscillating between fearlessness and vulnerability.

Vozniak said that “Despite the Gods” fits into the underground genre with its gritty, raw portrayal of a woman’s life, which doesn’t fit into mainstream media’s mold. Vozniak added that underground films are usually harder for an audience to swallow but are still necessary to make.

Tucsonans can judge the artistic integrity of the films at the Arizona Underground Film Festival for themselves. Moviegoers should take note that if they’re looking for an inspirational, Oscar-worthy tearjerker, then they might want to try the Sundance Film Festival: The only tissues needed for this type of festival are for mopping up the fake blood.

Unfortunately, the staff was too busy to help me in this search, but I did find a section titled “Recommended by Us” with a variety of good finds. The book that jumped out to me was “Medieval in LA” by Jim Paul. The title is just as it sounds: A novelist combines medieval philosophy during a complicated weekend in the City of Angels.

pper Crust Pizza is more than just a pizzeria. As you walk in, the atmosphere is that of a comfortable and friendly family-run business. The air is cool, and the employees are friendly people with good energy, which can be seen through their interactions with their customers. The music is always great and fits the environment rather well.

There is an open kitchen where you can see how all the food is made, and further in is a nice table setup with two plasma screens, just for all the sport lovers out there who want a good place to go during game night.

And this is just the atmosphere.

The food portions are generous and match well with the prices, and everything is made fresh. As I walked in, one of the customers started a conversation with me and said, “There’s no better fresh handtossed pizza in town.”

Starting in October, Upper Crust

will be adding new items to its menu. Making the restaurant more than just about pizza, the new items include meat and veggie lasagna, meatball subs and buffalo chicken pizza.

Having had an opportunity, compliments of the chef, to try the veggie lasagna, here is what I have to say: The meal was great all around.

It was finely prepared, the aesthetics of the dish were pleasing as well and was an enjoyment to the taste buds.

The flavor of the different cheeses went well with the various veggies found in each bite, and the house red sauce topped off the dish. The accompanying garlic knots are great either by themselves or used to finish off the red sauce that is left in the dish. The dish, for anyone who would like to make it themselves, is comprised of the following ingredients: - Fresh pasta sheets - House red sauce (although you may use any red sauce recipe you find fitting)

- Various herbal veggies (feel free to be creative) - Mushrooms - Zucchini - Artichokes - Spinach - Ricotta and mozzarella cheese - And is served with three garlic knots on the side.

DEAL BOX

Upper Crust offers a $2 student discount to anyone who shows their CatCard for any purchase of a 16-inch dine-in or carry-out pizza, as well as a $3 pizza slice and drink to anyone who brings in this article.

UA prepares for pair of games Brian Peel Playing in its final two nonconference games of the season, Arizona soccer (4-1-1) will look to continue its recent win streak when Lipscomb and Idaho come to Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium this weekend.

On Friday night at 7 p.m., the Wildcats will play host to the Lipscomb Lady Bisons (5-3-1) out of Nashville, Tenn.

The Lady Bisons, who play in the Atlantic Sun Conference, have been winning games this season with defense, allowing only five goals through nine games played including shutting out five of their opponents. Offensively, the Lady Bisons are led by sophomore forward Ellen Lundy, who has four goals.

Arizona head coach Tony Amato said the team’s play of late signifies growth going into conference play.

“We’re making progress,” Amato said. “Early in the season, I wasn’t

totally clear in what our identity was, and now I have a better picture of that, mainly coming off the way we played against Texas A&M and Oklahoma State on a neutral site and then coming home and playing well against Nevada, even with all the delays. I feel like now we have a clear idea of how we’re going to win games in the Pac-12 [Conference], and we’re just going to have to keep getting better at that every step of the way.”

Wildcat senior midfielder/ forward LeeAndra Smith agreed with her coach’s assessment.

“I think the team has always been good,” Smith said. “I think the difference now is that we’re starting to click a little bit more and starting to figure each other out. We’re starting to see our potential in a more fulfilling way.”

The victory over Nevada on Sept. 12 was another dominating performance by Wildcat freshman midfielder Gabi Stoian, who notched her first career hat trick

against the Wolf Pack. Stoian, who now has six goals on the season, is currently in third place in the Pac12 for both goals scored and total points. This season, she leads the Wildcats in both goals and assists through six games.

Closing out the Wildcats’ weekend on Sunday at 12 p.m. will be the Idaho Vandals of the Big Sky Conference. So far this season, the Vandals have struggled mightily, losing all seven of their games and scoring only a single goal while allowing their opponents to score 19 goals.

Idaho, which hasn’t scored a goal since its season opener on Aug. 22, might have played its best game of the season last Sunday when it nearly pulled out a stunner against visiting Washington State before falling 1-0.

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 15

JAMES KELLEY

Goff goes off

California quarterback Jared Goff is just a sophomore, but he could wreak havoc on a sometimes shaky Arizona defense.

Goff is seventh in the nation in passing efficiency, 20th in passing touchdowns, 34th in passing yards per completion and 38th in passing yards per game. As a team, Cal is 23rd in the NCAA in scoring offense (43 points per game) and 27th in passing offense.

Plus, the Golden Bears had extra time to prepare for the Wildcats last week with a bye.

Meanwhile, Arizona gave up 349 yards to UTSA and 429 to Nevada.

The Wildcats’ defense has had a bend-but-don’t-break mentality so far, but the Air Raid (or Bear Raid) offense could break them.

TO WIN

Solomon struggles

This could go every week, but it is especially important

as the Wildcats open Pac-12 Conference play.

Redshirt freshman Anu Solomon is one of the best quarterbacks in the country through three games, as he ranks 13th in the nation in passing yards and 10th in total offense. He leads all FBS freshman quarterbacks with 934 passing yards.

However, who was that against? That would be two Mountain West Conference teams and a Conference USA squad.

UTSA’s program hasn’t been around for half a decade, Nevada has been winless on the road since last season and UNLV is UNLV. Cal is a Pac-12 team and will provide a bigger challenge.

Looking ahead

Yes, Cal is 2-0, but a bigger matchup is coming up in game five for the Wildcats. In their next game, the Wildcats travel to No. 2 Oregon for a Thursday night contest on ESPN. Arizona overlooked its foe before the mighty Ducks last year and was embarrassed at home by a mediocre Washington State team, 24-17. The Cougars also ran the Air Raid offense.

The Wildcats have to focus on Cal to avoid another Wazzu debacle.

Stopping Rubenzer and Goff

Cal brings an NFL-ready quarterback in sophomore Jared Goff, who has already thrown for 510 yards over two games and his backup, Luke Rubenzer, has thrown for 103 yards and has 82 rushing yards as well.

Arizona struggled with pass defense in its last game against Nevada and will have to do a much better job, as it is currently ranked 10th in the Pac-12 Conference in passing defense, allowing 64.6 percent of opposing quarterbacks’ passing attempts.

Even UA head coach Rich Rodriguez is a little nervous about all of the different packages that Cal can bring to the table.

“We have had to prepare for different packages for Cal,” Rodriguez said. “Our quarterbacks have been running the same plays, so we don’t have anything different for any of the other quarterbacks.”

The Offensive Duel

3

ARIZONA REDSHIRT freshman quarterback Anu Solomon (12) attempts to run for a first down but is tackled just short of the first down line during Arizona’s win against Nevada at Arizona Stadium on Saturday.

Over the past three nonconference games, the Arizona offense has come to play and has come up huge, scoring 119 points in its first three games.

If redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon can continue successfully passing to Arizona’s dynamic receiving corps, Cal will have a difficult time on defense.

On top of that, true freshman running back Nick

TO LOSE

Wilson has produced 149.7 rushing yards per game and 6.8 yards per carry.

This offense has been working together and must continue to do so, especially going up against Cal’s offense.

Crowd goes wild

For Arizona’s first Pac-12 game of the season, it may need a little help.

Arizona Stadium will host its first-ever white-out, and it is relying on the ZonaZoo and fans to bring even more spark to this game in particular.

Of all 31 all-time meetings with Cal, 21 have been decided by a possession or less, and 10 have been decided by a field goal or less.

Rodriguez has continued to compliment the ZonaZoo and the rest of the Arizona fans for being continuously loud.

Upstart Cal squad comes to town single-season records and ranked 10th nationally in passing yards in 2007. He was hired as head coach at Louisiana Tech, which was 4-8 the season before he got there, but 5-7, 8-5 and 9-3 during his threeyear stint.

Dykes is the son of former longtime Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes and runs the Air Raid offense, which was called the Air Zona offense when he was at the UA.

James Kelley Arizona football hosts a 2-0 team for the second week in a row in a matchup of teams both averaging around 40 points a game.

The Wildcats (3-0) open Pac-12 Conference play against California, looking for its first 4-0 start since 2010, when it beat Cal 10-9 in the fourth game of the season. The UA and UC play on Saturday night at 7 p.m. on the Pac-12 Networks.

California has already doubled its 2013 win total and surpassed its total number of wins over FBS teams from a year ago. Last season, the Golden Bears went 1-11, only beating FCS Portland State.

However, Cal just close to Arizona, 33-28, in Berkeley, Calif.

“We had a close game with them last year, and we were fortunate to win that game,” UA head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “They moved the ball up and down the field and we didn’t block them very well, so I think it’s a situation where they remember the game from last year rather than their record.”

Arizona senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon (9) spikes the ball during Arizona’s 3-0 win against CSUN in the Arizona Invitational on Sept. 6 in McKale Center. Kingdon and the Wildcats close out nonconference play this weekend.

No. 20 Arizona volleyball will close out the nonconference season while fighting to stay undefeated at home when it takes on Coppin State, Tulane and UMBC in the Wildcat Classic this weekend in McKale Center.

The Wildcats (8-1) are slated to face off against Coppin State and Tulane on Friday at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., respectively, and will close out the weekend against UMBC on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

Arizona has never faced Coppin State (5-5) or UMBC (4-5) in its history and has only played Tulane once. The last match between the Wildcats and the Green Tide occurred in 2009 in McKale Center when

the UA defeated Tulane, 3-0.

“The teams who are coming in [this weekend] aren’t going to be like Texas,” UA head coach Dave Rubio said. “That’s not to say they won’t be valuable competition.

Last year, Tulane was 29-3 — they were outstanding.”

However, this season, the Green Wave comes to Tucson with a 1-8 record. Tulane enters the tournament fresh off its first win of the year after it defeated Southeastern Louisiana in consecutive sets as part of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Classic.

While UMBC started the season hot, winning its first four games, the Retrievers have suffered losses in each of their past five matches. This past weekend, UMBC was swept in straight sets by Eastern Michigan and Coppin State.

The University of California was chartered in 1868 as the first UC school.

The golden grizzly bear is the symbol of the state of California, which is also often called the Golden State. The Golden Bears get their colors from the state nickname and from Yale blue, as it was founded by Yale men.

The Big “C” is a giant “C” on Charter Hill above Memorial Stadium in Berkeley built in 1905.

“What I try to do in terms of scheduling is really mixing teams, and where they are — mid-majors versus teams that are really competitive and top-25 level,” Rubio said.

By doing this, Rubio said he hopes those on his team will be able to reflect after facing an elite program in a game, a situation where things may not have gone their way, and learn from their past experiences to adjust their gameplay accordingly.

“We’ll be more focused on our mental state and just making sure we take of the things that we can control, rather than worrying about what the other team is doing,” UA senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon said.

Senior middle blocker Rachel Rhoades said that this season, more so than in years past, the program feels like it has the power to really accomplish something special.

“I’m ready for us to turn it up,” Rhoades said. “This weekend gives us a good opportunity to come out strong and gives us the chance to enter Pac-12 [Conference] play with motivation.”
