Hart to host first town hall of semester BY BRITTNY MEJIA

The Daily Wildcat UA President Ann Weaver Hart will hold her first town hall meeting of the semester on Tuesday, where topics could range from the university strategic plan to faculty and staff compensation.

National champs reunite for charity

The town hall, which takes place in the Flandrau Science Center Planetarium in the planetarium theater room 219B from noon to 1 p.m., will allow students, faculty and staff to ask questions. Questions cannot be asked in advance and the town hall will not be live streamed, according to Heather Lukach, administrator for presidential

events and visitor services. The purpose of the forum is to allow the president to reach out to the community about what she’s been doing and her vision for the UA, according to J.C. Mutchler, executive director and vice president for the Executive Office of the President. “It’s also a chance for people

to come to the meeting and ask her questions about issues that they have concerns about or ideas that they have and share them,” Mutchler said. “It’s really an oldfashioned town hall in the historical sense of a chance to interact and see what’s on everybody’s mind.” One of the main focuses of the

In front of a sold-out crowd at the historic Fox Tucson Theatre, members of the 1997 National Championship Arizona basketball team celebrated their 16th anniversary on Friday. Cohosted by the Primavera Foundation and the Blair Charity Group, the celebration raised more than $35,000 to help counter the rising poverty level in Tucson. Household names, including former head coach Lute Olson and Arizona star players Miles Simon and A.J. Bramlett, were in attendance. Simon, now an analyst for ESPN, received the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Award in 1997. Arizona basketball fans and 10 members of the championship team watched a replay of the 84-79 overtime victory against Kentucky at the theater. During breaks in the game, the audience enjoyed entertainment from the master of ceremonies, Joseph Blair. Blair, founder and owner of the Blair Charity Group, gave out raffle prizes to attendees and interviewed the former Wildcats about their memories of the game and where they are today. “Joseph Blair and the Primavera

to shoot is “fantastic.” The College Republicans plan a trip to a shooting range every semester. “A lot of the people who come with us have never shot before,” Kotzambasis said. “Once they learn how to use them, they realize it’s really not scary [like] how they thought it was, and I think it’s very empowering for a lot of our members.” While he said he supports anyone trying to start a club on campus, Nick Mahon, president of UA Young Democrats, said education about guns should include facts about deaths caused by gunshots.

The UA Hispanic Alumni Association will honor City Manager Richard Miranda at a fundraising dinner Friday. The 29th annual Portraits of Excellence Scholarship Dinner is intended to raise money for the UA Hispanic Alumni Scholarship Program while honoring the city manager and former chief of police of the Tucson Police Department for his years of service to the Tucson community. “He is Tucson,” said Marc Acuna, assistant director of Multicultural Clubs and the UA Alumni Association Scholarship Program. “He’s just a genuine, compassionate individual that cares about his city.” Born and raised in South Tucson, Miranda graduated from Sunnyside High School, before attending the UA, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in public management. He also has a master’s degree in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University. Shortly after college, Miranda began his career with the Tucson Police Department. He was named

BY STEPHANIE CASANOVA

The Daily Wildcat A UA student is working on starting a non-partisan Second Amendment club. Cale Lyford, an economics freshman, said he got the idea of starting Student Second Amendment Union about a week and a half ago. Lyford began to recruit students on the UA Mall and emailed the UA College Republicans and UA Young Democrats asking to promote the club at their meetings. The club’s mission is to create a positive attitude toward firearms and

educate people on how to properly use them, according to Lyford. In order to reach this mission, club members would take trips to a shooting range, Lyford said, adding that through these trips, members would learn the importance of owning a gun and not being afraid of firearms. “Second Amendment is traditionally a contentious issue and used between the two sides,” Lyford said. “But I think if your goal is education, then you’re going to want to attract people from both sides.” Zoey Kotzambasis, president of UA College Republicans, said the idea of a club that trains its members how

Architecture building to get sustainable roof BY KATIE BICKELL

The Daily Wildcat The UA College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture is preparing to create a sustainable roof to add to its building. The college won second place in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s first-ever Campus Rainworks Challenge last spring, where they were awarded $8,000 to be used for green infrastructure research. The money will go toward installing the new roof. Ron Stoltz, the associate dean of the College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture, said the building is “experimental and constantly changing.” Stoltz also said he was confident that the roof will be adding to the sustainability of the building. The green roof doesn’t require energy to operate, and solar panels will help with the electrical needs of the building. The roof’s insulation effect is also going to help immensely, Stoltz added. “While green roof technology is well understood in temperate climates, it’s not well understood in desert climates,” Stoltz said. “This laboratory and this experiment will yield information that other people can use as they develop other institutional, commercial or residential green roofs in the desert.” Construction is scheduled to start in March or April 2014 and will hopefully be finished by the middle of the 2014 fall semester, according to Stoltz. The new roof will be open to the public but only accessible by appointment, according to Stoltz.

AMY PHELPS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE UA’S ARCHITECTURE building will be getting a sustainable roof in April 2014. Ron Stoltz, associate dean of the College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture, said the building is “constantly changing.”

This is to control the number of people that are on the roof at one time in order to distribute and monitor the weight on the roof. The two minds behind the CAPLA building were Eddie Jones and Christy Ten Eyck. Ten Eyck has designed the new green roof, along with her protégé, Todd Briggs, Stoltz said. Aaron Tsosie, an architecture senior, said sustainability is understood within architecture and planning today and that he was excited to see the new green roof. “I think a green roof is a great idea,” Tsosie said. “It would help absorb a lot of the radiation that hits the building every day from the sun, and it would become an insulator.” The green roof is expected to have many sustainable features such as

five pods that each have a different theme, such as solar energy or planting experiments, and will be made from different materials, according to Stoltz. Planting will separate the pods, along with vertical screening that will have vines growing on it. On top of the screening, there will also be solar panels, Stoltz said. CAPLA will also be experimenting with different roof coatings. Different manufacturers will be given different materials to experiment with and see how well each material withstands ultraviolet light. This year, the UA was ranked the second in the world for environmental research. “Sustainability is a really critical interdisciplinary theme that cuts across everything that this university

does,” said Jesse Minor, a graduate research assistant in the School of Geography and Development. CAPLA will also be measuring the temperature differential through the soil using temperature sensors on top and underneath the soil, on the roof and on the ceiling inside the building, Stoltz said. “This is the best example of an integrated building and landscape in the arid southwest,” Stoltz said. “This is a design from scratch and holistic thinking of how you build a building and a landscape that work together.”

attend the public meeting. Some student leaders said the town hall is helpful for those who don’t regularly interact with Hart. Hart will hold another town hall later in the semester at the College of Medicine in Phoenix, according to Lukach. Typically, Hart will hold two town halls each semester in order to maintain a dialogue with the campus community. “I think she does that for people who don’t get a chance to hear from her directly. We’re lucky to have her,” said Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council. “Anyone who can have that opportunity to talk to her is really lucky.”

“If you’re going to have a club that explicitly talks in support of firearms and you’re not dealing with this kind of darker side of fireams, I’m still skeptical of it,” Mahon said. Chris Hadji, vice president of the new club and a physiology junior, said while it’s important to talk about what can happen if someone misuses a firearm, talking about specific cases of deaths caused by guns turns the conversation into a political one. “When you bring in … specific incidents that have happened, it’s starting to light the political fire,” Hadji said. “It is important that … they understand that what they’re handling can potentially injure or kill somebody if it’s handled incorrectly. But when you bring up specific incidents that have happened … it’s starting to get more into politics, and it’s not necessary.” Lyford said he intends for the club to become recognized through the Associated Students of the University of Arizona in the spring. Currently, he is working on finding an adviser for the club, which is a requirement by ASUA. Being on a college campus where students are already here to learn, Hadji said, the UA provides more teaching potential for this kind of club. “It almost doesn’t matter if you like guns or not,” Hadji said, “it’s just a matter of learning about them, knowing how to handle them safely — and if the entire public was educated on how to handle firearms properly and safely, then there’d be a lot less accidents.”

Some of the topics faculty, staff and appointed professionals said they were interested in discussing include the university compensation plan, as well as funding and revenue for the strategic plan. “I think it’s unfortunate that more people don’t come out for these things,” said Wanda Howell, chair of Faculty Senate. “The problem with presidential schedules in general — they often seem inaccessible. I think this is her attempt to indicate that she’s more than willing to have conversations.” Howell said another possible topic at the forum could pertain to Old Main and the efforts to finance its restoration.

Fast food delivery is pricey overkill BY ASHLEY T. POWELL

The Daily Wildcat

t the UA, students take full advantage of food delivery from places like Papa John’s, Jimmy John’s, Cheba Hut and Mamma’s Hawaiian BBQ, but there is a point where delivery becomes excessive, money becomes an issue and laziness becomes a lifestyle. As if fast food weren’t fast enough and pulling up to a drivethrough window was unbearable, one participating Burger King in Tucson, located on St. Mary’s Road, is now delivering. Arizona is home to four whopper-delivering locations, while other states like California seem to be fully on board with more than 20 participating locations. By ordering online, customers can have select Burger King items delivered to their home, dorm, apartment, business office or hotel in and around the UA area. However, there are several restrictions that make this a bad deal. According to BK Delivers’ web page, orders must be $10 or more and customers have to pay a $2 delivery fee, and that doesn’t include a tip for the driver. As college students, time is precious and food delivery can be a good option when leaving the computer or textbook isn’t realistic. Delivery makes sense for places without a drive-through window. However, Burger King delivery is overkill. It’s simple. Pay as little as a couple of dollars for french fries, skip out on the delivery fee and forget calculating in a tip for the driver. As students, trying to save money in any way possible is the norm. And, if that means still spending money to eat out, save an extra buck here and there by staying in the car and using the drive-through at fast-food places that offer such a convenient service. Additionally, customers should know that certain menu items have been altered for delivery. For example, only large fries and bottled drinks are available rather than a small fry and fountain drink. This removes the possibility of moderation. According to the American Heart Association 2013 fact sheet, 154.7 million Americans 20 years and older are overweight or obese. The U.S. Census Bureau reported the current U.S. population at about 317 million. Only time will tell when a chain reaction will start and other franchises will get on board. Everything will be delivered and people will no longer have to go out and get their food. Perhaps the depiction of community members who are too lazy to get out of their chairs in “Wall-E” wasn’t too far fetched. When most people have the accessibility of a car or are in walking distance of a chain restaurant, the emersion of fastfood delivery like BK Delivers is too much of a good thing.

Reactions to Cyrus’ actions unfair BY SHELBY THOMAS

The Daily Wildcat

eactions to Miley Cyrus’ recent artistic transformation exposed a corrupted sense of feminism in the United States. In the weeks following the on-stage twerk fest, I watched with wide eyes as our sweet Hannah Montana traded in her squeaky clean image for foam fingers and wrecking balls. Admittedly, I initially reacted to Cyrus’ lack of clothing and suggestive dance moves with distaste, but as social media outlets rapidly filled up with posts and tweets about how “trashy” and “slutty” Cyrus has become, the prevalent hypocrisy that exists in American society was evident. We don’t have any right to be mad at Miley — because we are Miley. On Mix 104.1’s official website, Matt Dollof published an article titled “Boston’s Best Reactions to Miley Cyrus at the VMAs on Social Media” that featured an array of attacks on Cyrus’ performance and character. Jeanne K., for example, posted “OMG [sic] she made herself look like a complete low life … and i [sic] can’t believe Robin Thicke let her do that to his

song. very [sic] disappointed.” 2012 reflects the contradiction.

Letter to the Editor

In response to “Right to bear arms not absolute” (by Anthony Carli, Sept. 24) The beauty of having a fundamental human right is that there is little impetus to explain myself and why I choose to exercise it. However, we live in a culture of disinformation and propaganda; more so than the gun culture that is such a blight to your lives. We also have a culture of super offensive assault speech, radical beliefs of the right to a trial and extremist beliefs that searches and seizures require a warrant. Last time I read the Constitution, the Second Amendment read as: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” See that last comma? “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed,” is a standalone clause. Arms are weapons, and we’re fortunate that the living, breathing constitution allows for modern versions of weapons. Something that’s a bit overly obvious is that this shooting occurred in a Navy yard, where men trained, trusted and paid to be safe and proficient with their weapons are not trusted to carry any weapons on a military base. Not to mention that firearms are effectively banned from the Navy yard and the surrounding Washington D.C. area; both of which are the heart of this country where government and military men and women swear oaths to defend the Constitution.

many have deemed “rape-y,” and features numerous naked models in the viral (and banned) music video, but isn’t this tune sung by the same Thicke who slyly crossed his arms and smirked as Cyrus danced against him at the VMAs? Two words immediately come to mind: double standard. In an interview with GQ, Thicke even joked, “What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman.” Still, Cyrus received the majority of the negative attention, despite the fact that both performers agreed to the arrangement. I am not defending Miley Cyrus, her gyrating hips or her recent wave of nudity, but judging her for whatever she decides to do with her creative license is completely hypocritical. How can we, as a society, disapprove of behavior that we pay to see and hear? Let’s demand that women are held in a respectable light in all of the art forms that we support. We as a society need to reevaluate the morals that we support through our own personal consumption. Until that happens, a scandalous show should be no surprise to any of us. — Shelby Thomas is a sophomore studying journalism and sociology. Follow her @alayneshelby

Unfortunately for those who dedicate their lives to turning graves into soap boxes, this shooting spree was committed by a man with a shotgun and a pair of handguns here. No AR-15 rifle? Maybe next time people die you can jump for joy that disarmed and defenseless people were murdered by an “assault weapon.” Rifles of any sort made up approximately 4.47 percent of murders in 2010, according to the FBI. Speaking of “assault weapons,” I would like people to think about what an assault weapon is. What is the definition of one? What calibers do they use? What turns a squirrel gun into an assault rifle? It’s a buzzword for no other reason than to elicit fear and shouldn’t be used in discussion. An assault rifle is a technical term based on the Sturmgewehr Model 1944, literally “storm,” or “assault rifle,” is a weapon firing an intermediate projectile in select-fire mode. AR-15 is not an assault rifle. It’s not an “assault weapon.” It’s a sporting, hunting, and self-defense firearm that’s loved for its accuracy, reliability, lack of over-penetration and ease-of-use. The only way to obtain an actual assault rifle is in the ballpark of $10,000 and a year or two of government red tape. People need to be educated on proper use and safety of their firearms, and background checks are a good way to prevent guns from the wrong hands. America is a land of freedom, and I’ll keep my rights and freedoms to defend myself and those that I love. The vilified and disrespected gun-loving community, myself included, do not accept association with these murderous degenerates, nor do we deserve to be treated as such. Collective responsibility is a very fascist concept. We have no intent of giving up our rights based on people with illinformed emotional reactions and the power-mongering of those with too much power. My rights are not up for negotiation. — Eric Tompkins is a public health senior. Follow him @dailywildcat

Can’t hold it

On Sept. 24, a UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for urinating on the third floor hallway of a residence hall. At approximately 3:40 p.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to a residence hall in regards to public urination. A resident assistant took the officer to show him where the incident had happened. A witness said he heard what sounded like someone peeing outside of his room. When he opened the door, he saw a man peeing in the corner of the hall. He didn’t see the man’s penis but he did see the stream of pee hitting the carpet. The UA student said, “What the fuck are you doing?” The man replied, “The bathrooms are being cleaned and I had to go.” The man then finished and left. While officers were speaking to the witness, the witness pointed out the man. The man denied peeing in the area and denied being in the dorm at the time of the incident. He produced a receipt from a bank that stated he had been there at 2:32 and then dropped off a package at the post office. He said he had taken a bike cab back and was nowhere near the residence hall, still wet with urine. The witness said he was 100 percent sure that the identified man was responsible for the pee. The man was diverted to the Dean of Students office.

You had a bad day

A UA student and non-UA affiliated man were arrested by UAPD officers on Sept. 21 at about 12:19 a.m. for minor in possession of alcohol in the body. Two UAPD officers were patrolling the campus when they heard a woman crying near one of the residence halls. They found a man and a woman sitting on a wall in an enclosed area. Officers split up the two to ask why the woman was crying. The man said he was not a UA student but he was there to talk to his girlfriend about personal issues. She had gotten upset and started to cry. While the man was talking, the officer noticed his bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and that his breath smelled like alcohol. The UA student admitted she was having a bad day, and while talking to her boyfriend, she broke down crying. She said she thought she had just failed a big test earlier that day. She admitted to drinking beer in her room earlier that evening. The UA student and the man were cited and released. A Code of Conduct was sent to the Dean of Students office for the UA student.

Tripping out

Two UA students were cited and released for minor in possession on Sept. 21 at 1:04 a.m. Two UAPD officers were on patrol near a residence hall when they spotted two students, a man and a woman, leaving a cab. The students were holding each other tightly and leaning against one another as they walked to their dorm. Neither of the students could walk straight. As they tried to walk over the curb, they tripped and almost fell down. UAPD officers approached the students to question them separately. The man said he had just left a house on Greek Row but couldn’t remember which one. He said he drank a lot of jungle juice. While he was speaking, the man started vomiting. After he finished, he said he felt better. When questioned by an officer, the woman said she had a lot of money and was wondering how much the arrest would cost. She then said she was 92 years old but corrected her age to 19, both of which were incorrect. The Tucson Fire Department was called because of the high level of intoxication of the woman. She was told she was getting a minor in possession but didn’t understand so the officers repeated it to her kin Cancer six times. y or “bank” to be After the woman was released by the TFD, she was taken to her room.

Huskies rain on Arizona’s parade

Running back Ka’Deem Carey scores Arizona’s first touchdown in the last seconds of the first half at Washington on Saturday. Carey was a rare bright spot in the 31-13 loss.

Wildcats fail to adjust to rainy, windy conditions in Seattle in Pac-12 opener, losing first game of season and ending four-game winning streak BY Scarlett McCourt

The Daily Wildcat SEATTLE — The Washington Huskies haven’t scored a safety on an opponent since playing Nebraska at the Holiday Bowl in 2010. Until Saturday, that is. The safety that happened late in the first quarter was the first one the Wildcats allowed since 2011 against UCLA. The ball slipped through the hands of sophomore punter Drew Riggleman, who was fighting to see through the rain. The No. 16 Huskies recovered the ball in the end zone and scored a safety. It was a gift to the Huskies, courtesy of the rain. At kickoff, the temperature was 60 degrees Fahrenheit with winds at 14 mph and a 100 percent chance of precipitation. Conditions fluctuated throughout the night. The rain, which fell sideways thanks

to the wind, continued throughout the game, but varied in strength. Arizona’s performance on the field seemed to reflect that strength. The harder the rain fell, the worse the UA performed. When the rain slowed, the Wildcats seemed to catch a break. The first half was particularly challenging for Arizona. “The rain was coming down hard,” senior quarterback B.J. Denker said. “It was cold. The ball was slippery. First half was the worst.” Arizona went three and out for the first five plays. It wasn’t until the second quarter that junior running back Ka’Deem Carey picked up a first down after a 13-yard rush. “It was ugly, poor execution, bad weather, you couldn’t grip the ball,” head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “You couldn’t throw the ball in the first quarter.” However, Carey’s performance wasn’t impaired by the bleak weather conditions.

The All-American picked up 132 rushing yards, making it his seventh-straight game breaking 100-yards and the 13th in his career. But the Huskies stopped Carey from making any long runs. His longest rush of the night was the 13 yarder, giving the Wildcats their first, first down. Carey also scored a three-yard touchdown with six seconds left on the clock in the second quarter. Carey has scored a rushing touchdown in every game he has played this season. He also had a career high 30 rushing attempts. The Wildcats relied on Carey heavily after it was evident the weather and the Huskies’ pressure on the outside receivers were inhibiting their passing game. The rain, however, affected both teams’ passing game. Huskies quarterback Keith Price was held to 39 yards, with one touchdown and one interception going into halftime. Price didn’t complete a pass in the

basketball

second quarter. “It was raining so hard that the ball was wet,” Rodriguez said. “I think both teams were struggling in the passing game with that.” Whether it was nerves, the rain or a lack of execution, Denker did not perform like a Pac-12 quarterback. “To beat a pretty good team in their place, you have to play a clean game, in every position, but especially at quarterback,” Rodriguez said. “B.J.’s a smart guy, though, he’ll learn from that.” But at the end of the day, Washington suffered through the same conditions, and still managed to prevail. “Keith Price was playing in the same conditions, so I don’t have an excuse,” Denker said. — Follow Scarlett McCourt @scarlettnoelani

Peters addition gives UA loses Pac-12 opener to UCLA Wildcats depth for frontcourt, rotation

“

There was a lot of effort and cooperation that went into this waiver process. — Sean Miller,

BY evan rosenfeld

The Daily Wildcat Arizona men’s basketball was able to add another piece to its puzzle late last week when the NCAA ruled that Kansas transfer Zach Peters would be eligible to play immediately and retain eligibility for four years. Peters, a 6-foot-10, 238-pound forward with threepoint range, has the potential to add depth to the Wildcats’ frontcourt this season and will be looked at to help fill the void of a skilled big man with a consistent jump shot left by former Wildcat Grant Jerrett. The Plano, Texas native initially signed with Kansas prior to his freshman year, but announced his intention to transfer to Arizona last November before playing a regular season game for the Jayhawks. “Today’s news from the NCAA is very exciting for Zach and his family, as well as our basketball program,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said in a press release. “There was a lot of effort and cooperation that went into this waiver process.” Heading into his senior year of high school, Peters was ranked as the 97th overall recruit in his class and averaged 15.5 points and nine rebounds per game in his final season at Prestonwood Christian Academy. Throughout his high school career, he earned first-team all-state honors four times and led his team to state titles in 2010 and 2012 and state runner-up finishes in 2009 and 2011.

head coach

Peters’ main issue is staying healthy. Throughout his basketball career, he has been plagued with five concussions in a two-year period. Nonetheless, the new Wildcat said he’s eager to get back on the court. “I’ve tried to remain patient throughout this process, and today’s news is definitely a relief,” Peters said. “I’ve been making strides physically with the goal of getting back to full competition, and, right now, it’s about honoring that process. I’m excited to keep improving, and it’s great to be able to put my focus on the season ahead.” In addition to Peters, the Wildcats’ frontcourt rotation will feature redshirt junior Matt Korcheck, sophomores Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski and McDonald’s All-Americans Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. While deemed eligible by the NCAA, it still remains to be seen when Arizona’s medical personnel will clear Peters to participate in full contact drills. “To this point, Zach has participated with us and we’re still in the process of him returning to full competition and contact,” Miller said. “Zach has made tremendous progress in his time at Arizona, and we’re optimistic that with continued improvement, that time will come in the near future.”

Richardson assured players and fans that he was isn’t in immediate danger. “This is not a life or death situation but [is] nonetheless very important,” Richardson said in a press release. “I am very appreciative to be given the flexibility to temporarily step away from coaching and basketball, and to concentrate on my well-being. I want to thank Coach Miller, the Arizona basketball family and the athletic department for allowing me this opportunity. I look forward to returning to the Arizona basketball program.” Richardson is in his fifth season at Arizona. “We support Coach Richardson’s decision to take some time off from his coaching duties,” head coach Sean Miller said in a press release. “What’s most important at this time is that he takes care of himself. We will miss his contribution to our program, but giving him time away is the best thing we can do. We look forward to his return.”

The Daily Wildcat Arizona’s historic start to its season had a glitch following a 2-1 loss yesterday afternoon to No. 4 UCLA. The Wildcats (5-2-3, 0-1-0 Pac12) have lost two out of their last three games after achieving the program’s best-ever start, falling to No. 24 Texas Tech on Sept. 15 and now No. 4 UCLA (9-1-0, 1-0-0). Yesterday was Arizona’s conference opener, and it was treated with a test. The Bruins, who were picked by many to win the conference, brought a stout defense to Tucson, limiting the Wildcats early in the game. “We came out a little slow,” senior forward Jazmin Ponce said. “We let them score early, but our mood definitely changed after that.” The Wildcats allowed the first goal of the match just five minutes in. UCLA sophomore Taylor Smith found the back of the net on the Bruins’ first shot attempt. The early one-goal lead was huge for UCLA that, entering Sunday, had only given up three goals all year and had yet to give up more than one in a single game. The Bruins controlled the momentum and tempo for most of the first half. Ball control allowed them to put pressure on Arizona and give multiple shots on goal. The Bruins padded their lead with another

goal 25 minutes later. Trailing by two, Arizona flipped the script on the Bruins by playing more physically. The gritty determination paid off when Arizona forward Hannah Wong scored in the box on an assist from Ponce to bring the Wildcats within one goal late in the half. “We had more bite, attacking more as a team,” Ponce said. “We caught them off guard.” The Wildcats took the new attack mentality into the second half, where the game was more balanced. Arizona controlled the ball better but just couldn’t get that one last goal to tie the game. “[UCLA] was scared. They didn’t know what to do,” Ponce said. “We just needed one good shot.” As the game progressed, the reality of losing became evident, forcing the Wildcats to turn up the pressure even more. With just a few minutes remaining, Arizona got the chance when an open Alexandra Doller passed it up field to a wide-open Ponce. However, the referee called a close offside infraction. But the loss comes with a grain a salt. “If we can give [UCLA] a battle, we can give anyone a battle,” Ponce said. “If we can play like we did at the end of the game for the entire game, we can beat any team.” — Follow Luke Della @LukeDella

Wildcats get two wins in Flagstaff BY Joey Putrelo

NATALIE HANNAH/WILDCAT HOCKEY

SENIOR FORWARD Ansel Ivens-Anderson celebrates a goal Friday at NAU.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — For the second straight year, Arizona hockey opened its season with a sweep at NAU, outscoring it by a total of 10-4 in two games. Friday night the No. 20 Wildcats (2-0-0) defeated the ACHA Division II IceJacks (1-2-0) 5-1. Only two goals separated the teams on Saturday in a more difficult 5-3 victory for Arizona. “We need to improve dramatically,” head coach Sean Hogan said. “We have some skill. We need better habits and we have to really work on the turnovers. We need a really great week of practice.” NAU head coach Travis Johanson said there were positives to take away from the series, and he is comfortable with how the team played. “It’s good competition, it’s only going to better us,” Johanson said. “If we keep our speed up like we did against this DI team, I think we’ll fare well in DII.”

Foundation put on a very unique, first-class event,” Simon said. “I was very happy to be here, very impressed by the turnout. It was for a great cause, more so than anything, to help the Tucson community.” Primavera Foundation Chief Development Officer Michael Finkelstein and Executive Director Peggy Hutchison gave the opening statements. Hutchison told a story about a married couple who had come to the Primavera Foundation after losing their jobs. Following a year-and-ahalf of the program’s aid, both now have steady jobs and saved enough money to purchase their own home. Tucson mayor Jonathan Rothschild spoke as well. “Tonight, we’re celebrating probably the greatest moment in Tucson sports history, and the folks who made it happen,” Rothschild said. “But what we’re really here for tonight is to celebrate the work of Primavera. Every person in this room is a fortunate person, and you need to count your blessings. Every single one of us can do a little more in this community.” Blair, who played center for Arizona from 1992 to 1996 and is currently an

undergraduate assistant coach, gave the final talk before the game was put up on the big screen. “What I’ve learned is that block ‘A’ that we all wear on our chest is not representative of the university,” Blair said. “It is not representative of a basketball team. It represents our community.” The crowd gave ardent reactions throughout the entirety of the replayed game. Olson and Simon received the most emphatic ovations.

The Wildcats’ penalty kill was lightsout on Friday. The IceJacks were 0-for-13 on the power play and gave up a shorthanded goal to freshman forward Alex O’Dea in that game as well. O’Dea, who added a second goal Saturday, was one of three Wildcats to net his first career college hockey goal over the weekend. Freshman forward Robert Wilkinson beat IceJacks senior goalie, James Korte for his first goal Friday. The following night, freshman defenseman Wil Pointon scored his first goal at the ACHA Division I level. Senior forward Ansel Ivens-Anderson and junior defenseman Shane Gleason led Arizona in point scoring with four each. Gleason, who finished last season with seven points but no goals, scored one to go along with three assists. IvensAnderson found the net twice Friday and had two assists in the series. “We had some really good periods out there. We were flowing well — good

forecheck, good defensive zone,” IvensAnderson said. “We just want to build off the positive things from this weekend and practice before our next games.” Hogan has yet to pick a definite starting goalie for the season. Sophomore Dylon Hojnacki got the nod Friday and senior Steven Sisler was in the net Saturday. Hojnacki made 34 saves on 35 shots, while Sisler saved 19 of 22. “Definitely not one of my best games; I had a few mental errors out there,” Sisler said. “That’s going to happen in your first game of the season. You just have to focus and get it out of your system and move on to the next games.” Hogan said that freshman goalie Garrett Patrick could also see playing time next weekend.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

72% of UA students have had oral sex. (2013 Health & Wellness Survey, n=3,055)

Q Can you get an STD from oral sex? A. Yes, you can. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be contracted through oral sex – whether it’s a “blow job” or “going down” on a partner. Herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are just a few of the infections spread by oral sex, and you can’t tell if someone has an infection or not. The Herpes Simplex virus can be readily transmitted in skin-to-skin contact even when sores are not visible. Of recent interest is the growing body of research, indicating that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), particularly Type 16, is now the main cause of most oral cancers (not tobacco and alcohol as in the past). HPV is spread through direct contact with the skin, genitals, mouth, and anus. Does this mean you shouldn’t have any sex (oral or otherwise)? No. But the research indicates that everyone (ages 11-26) should get vaccinated against HPV. Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines are extremely effective in preventing the strains of HPV (types 16 and 18) that are strongly linked with cancers of the cervix, penis, anus, and now, mouth. Other STIs may be spread during oral sex but are more commonly passed via vaginal

or anal intercourse. These infections include hepatitis B, syphilis, HIV, and HPV (genital warts and cervical dysplasia). Exposure to semen, “pre-cum,” blood, or vaginal fluid increases the chance of getting an STI. Both the giver and the receiver can be at risk. Reduce your STI risk by using a flavored condom when performing oral sex on a man or using a latex dam (a very thin 5" x 5" square that lays over the vulva) when going down on a woman. Dams can be used for oral-anal sex, too. Buy them at Campus Health or online. If reading this gets you worried about what you’ve done in the past, take action. Find out your STI status. You can get confidential, convenient tests at Campus Health, Planned Parenthood, or Pima County Health Department. For more info on STIs go to www.ashastd.org or www.health.arizona.edu.

Prof’s art addresses Middle Eastern oppression BY erin desoto

The Daily Wildcat

Photography professor Sama Alshaibi never intended to pursue a career in teaching. But earlier this month, she was one of four recipients of the 1885 Society of Distinguished Scholars Award for her artwork that addresses issues of oppression in her home country. As a child, Alshaibi lived in Iraq during the Iraq-Iran War, and as a teenager, her family relocated to the United States during the Gulf War. “I watched the poorly executed news about the region I was from,” Alshaibi said. “[I felt like] there was such a poor understanding of why wars happen and who my people are.” Alshaibi said she believed that becoming a war photographer would help her translate the reality of Iraqis to a mainstream audience. During her time as an undergraduate at Columbia College Chicago, Alshaibi found a mentor in Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer John H. White. She said he helped her realize war photography was not her only outlet for discussing conflict and oppression.

“I realized over time that I could make images about conflict without photographing war as an outsider. I could put these ideas in a more subjective form that was maybe stronger — and perhaps more honest.” Building off of her own experiences with tyranny and oppression, and articulating the plight of her people, Alshaibi began to find her artistic voice outside of photojournalism. By letting go of the objective view she had to take with photojournalism and embracing her own personal identity and experiences with conflict and displacement, Alshaibi said she was able to have a more honest relationship with her art. “I drew on my body, the walls of my small studio, collaged, performed the issues I was interested in — and then I photographed them,” she said. After earning her master’s degree in art from the University of Colorado at Boulder, she said she intended to be an independent artist. However, her career path changed and brought her to the UA where she now teaches photography to undergraduates. She said she didn’t initially want to be a professor but her

perspective on teaching changed after her first day of class. “My students and I opened up to each other about what happened in our lives as Americans, as ‘others’ and as humans,” she said. “I found that being a mentor and a teacher as an artist was a life that I could dedicate myself to. There is nothing more exhausting and rewarding as teaching.” Hailey Eisenbach, a studio arts photography senior, is a student in Alshaibi’s advanced photography class. “My initial impression of Sama was that she was a very strong artist with a big personality,” Eisenbach said. “She knows exactly what she wants to say through her art and is really knowledgeable.” Eisenbach added that Alshaibi’s passion is evident even in the classroom. “There was always a lot of buzz about Sama, she is extremely passionate about art, and brings that passion to the classroom,” Eisenbach said. “She is very honest with her students. She expects a lot, which I don’t think is a bad thing.” Alshaibi said her experience with teaching and mentoring has been incredibly moving but added that her time devoted to the classroom hasn’t removed her from her art.

Savannah Douglas/The Daily Wildcat

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ART Sama Alshaibi has been given the 1885 Society of Distinguished Scholars Award for her photography, which highlights oppression and conflict in her home country of Iraq.

Alshaibi said she hopes to continue facilitating an open discussion on issues such as gender and oppression. “My biggest hope is that [my art] asks questions and helps make issues that don’t seem applicable

to one’s personal life relatable,” she said. “The human condition of suffering is not something outside of one’s self. We are all implicated in the suffering of humanity.” — Follow Arts reporter Erin DeSoto @DailyWildcat

Who, What, Wear Erin Huff, retailing and consumer sciences junior Who is your style icon and why? I follow way too many style blogs to even pick one, but one of my favorite style icons is Stevie Nicks. I just absolutely love her free spirit and that just kind of goes right along with the way she dresses. I kind of feel that’s definitely more of my style. I’m very inspired by the ‘70s looks and just kind of that like, lace and flowing and really comfy but still trendy. What fall trend are you gearing up to try this season or ready to finally break out of your closet? Boots. Definitely boots. I just bought three pairs of boots this last weekend and I am so excited to wear them. I mean, I bought low little booties with little heels, I bought tall, over-the-knee boots and I bought another pair of low, black boots. I love fall and winter clothes. I love bundling up and so I’ve just been stocking up on winter clothes everywhere and I’m just like, “When is this heat going to pass through?” How would you describe your style? My style definitely reflects my mood of the day and kind of what I’m feeling. I wouldn’t necessarily put myself in a category of like, bohemian or modern. I definitely pick a lot of elements of kind of every style and put them together, but I think if someone were to just ask me in one word it would be easy-going. My style is very easy-going with classic elements. amy johnson/The Daily Wildcat

Savannah Mattfield, anthropology senior

Can you tell me a little bit about what you’re wearing? I am currently wearing a striped T-shirt from Forever

21 and jean shorts from American Eagle and a gold watch from JC Penney and some random gold jewelry that I picked up from thrift shops and a fair. My shoes are Dolce Vita and they’re from Nordstrom Rack.

Savannah Mattfield, anthropology senior Who is your style icon and why? Just people I see around, I guess. Like, people I see in different shops and I’ll be like, “Oh, that’s a really cute look,” and I’ll kind of pick up on that. So I guess just peers, people I see around. There’s not really a specific person. What fall trend are you gearing up to try this season or ready to finally break out of your closet? I just want to wear my boots again. I tried to wear them last week but it was way too hot. I just want to wear them, I’m getting tired of sandals. How would you describe your style? It’s kind of girly actually. It’s pretty girly — I own a lot of dresses, flowers, bows, stuff like that. But it’s also a little bit edgy too, like, I also like to wear spikes on my jewelry and stuff like that. So I think it’s definitely girly with an edge. Can you tell me a little bit about what you’re wearing? I’m currently wearing a white, lace skirt from Forever 21 and a black and white polka dot shirt with a scoop neck. Pretty regular. And also some silver sandals from Target. — Follow Arts reporter Amy Johnson @Amy_Jhnsn
