UA students are seeking a UA Green Fund grant of roughly $7,000 to harvest from olive, citrus and mesquite trees on campus.

The UA already harvests mesquite trees to provide mesquite flour for Dining Services, and Linking Edible Arizona Forests is trying to add harvested olives to the menu. Olives can be made into olive oil for the UA to use, according to Angela Knerl, a secondyear graduate student with the School of Natural Resources and the Environment.

“If we had the olive oil, there would be hopes that further down the road we could incorporate it into the Dining Services like the mesquite flour was,” Knerl said.

Certain olive trees were being sprayed by Facilities Management, making them unsafe for harvesting, according to Knerl.

LEAF is collaborating with the UA to get a Green Fund grant to harvest the olives this coming year, at which point the group will ask Facilities Management to stop spraying the trees

OLIVE TREES ARE LOCATED near the Harvill building and elsewhere around the UA campus. Angela Knerl, pictured, a second-year graduate student in the School of Natural Resources, is working with Melanie Lenart, the coordinating leader of the Linking Edible Arizona Forests program, and other students, to harvest the campus olive trees this upcoming year.

they plan to harvest from.

Harvesting the olives will mean the UA won’t have to pay to spray as many olive trees, and will lessen the amount of olives that fall to the ground and create a mess on the sidewalk, Knerl said.

“

Students can help LEAF by kicking the olives off of the sidewalk, which helps keep the campus clean, according to Knerl. They can also participate as student volunteers in the harvesting process for mesquite trees and olive trees.

“It is just part of … a groundswell of movement that’s happening around the country where people are realizing, ‘Why let this be so-called litter — when the fruit is falling to the ground and getting wasted — when it could be food?’” said Melanie

OPINIONS — 4

One of eight long-awaited streetcar vehicles arrived in Tucson on Friday after a series of delays that are inconveniencing the UA and local community.

The first vehicle was originally set to arrive in February, and its late arrival has postponed the start of streetcar operation, which was supposed to begin in October.

However, the delays have pushed the start of operation to summer 2014, according to Shellie Ginn, program manager of the Tucson Modern Streetcar.

Many business owners who have invested along the streetcar route are relying on the streetcar to draw customers to their businesses, said Steve Kozachik, city councilman for Ward 6. Entrepreneurs who invested in student housing complexes, restaurants and entertainmentbased businesses in downtown Tucson all expected the streetcar to be up and running almost a year before the current projected date, Kozachik said.

Older businesses along the

route that were open long before construction started are also counting on the streetcar’s service to bring more customers to the area and make up for the revenue they lost during construction, Kozachik said.

“It’s the small local businesses who have just been killed by this thing, and they’re just trying to dig their way out from the loss of revenue that they’ve suffered over the last year,” Kozachik said. “It’s an ongoing expectation that the businesses have. It’s why they put up with the disruption from the construction.”

Further delays in construction have pushed back the opening date for the Warren Avenue Underpass that connects the main UA campus to the University of Arizona Medical Center. The underpass was projected to open before the fall semester, according to Joe Chase, construction manager for the Tucson Modern Streetcar.

“We had anticipated [Warren Avenue Underpass] to be open by now for sure,” Chase said. “But it was really just issues with the fence … It just took some time to get

UA’s most diverse class finds community

BY Emily Bregger

The Daily Wildcat The Finding Community Welcome event Tuesday assisted hundreds of students in discovering different cultural and resource groups on campus.

Groups from around campus gathered in the Student Union Memorial Center to celebrate diversity and welcome incoming students. The freshman fee included in tuition funded the free event for UA students.

“We wanted to allow students a place where they can find a community that they will fit into on campus,” said Dan Xayaphanh, the event’s organizer and the program director for Asian Pacific American Student Affairs. “This is our fourth annual Finding Community’s Event, and we are very pleased.”

With free food, raffles, performances and giveaways, the room filled up quickly with students. A sense of community emanated from the audience as students of all different races and ethnicities poured into the ballroom.

Kendal Washington White, interim dean of students, and Melissa Vito, vice president of student affairs both spoke on behalf of the UA administration.

Washington White emphasized the importance of student engagement beyond the classroom and spoke about the opportunities students have to become involved at the UA. “I am so happy you all have not let the storm clouds keep you from being a part of this program,” Washington White said.

“True Wildcats are not only involved in the classroom but are also involved and engaged on campus.”

Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs group, Folklorico, presents a traditional dance to the audience at the Finding Community Welcome event on Tuesday.

Washington White also promoted her office hours, a time when students can bring their concerns to her.

Vito focused on encouraging students to become involved in student affairs and on creating a sense of community for the diverse student population.

“Diversity is a very important value for us,” said Vito. “We really work to build a diverse campus community where everyone can find not just one place to find a community, but hopefully multiple places.”

The speeches were followed by a

performance from a folklorico dance group, after which attendees swarmed into the SUMC Grand Ballroom for more festivities.

Colorful booths lined the Grand Ballroom with information about diversity groups both on- and off-campus. Katie Marascio, an environmental sciences junior and advocate for Planned Parenthood, said she hopes to get freshmen and the community involved with outreach.

“We are just an arm for Planned Parenthood of Arizona,” Marascio said. “We are hoping to get people more aware about

On Sept. 19, ASUA will host a meeting to go over the rules of the special election with qualified candidates.

Candidates will then have almost two weeks to campaign before the election takes place on Oct. 1.

“We’re looking at a month and a half total,” Abraham said, “which is fairly quick compared to the other elections that last three to four months.”

ASUA officers have been working on a PR campaign to encourage students to vote in the special election, evidenced by the large dry-erase board in Abraham’s

“I didn’t run originally because I didn’t have any platforms that I was super passionate about,” Sager said. “Now, having experience in ASUA and really going into it, I do have some ideas that I want to change with the school and basically make it a better place.”

Abraham stressed that both graduate and undergraduate students can apply to run in the election.

“I’ve always loved encouraging graduates to apply,” Abraham said. “ASUA represents both undergrads and grads.”

UA based organizations were also present at the event. Geneva Baruelo, a molecular and cellular biology senior, was managing the Theta Nu Xi sorority booth. The sorority focuses on scholarship service, leadership and recruiting multicultural members, according to Baruelo.

“We are tabling here today for recruitment,” Baruelo said. “We are the only multicultural sorority on campus. We are hoping to find women for our sorority who will uphold those values.”

Holden Sanders, a senior studying speech, language and hearing sciences attended the event to promote the Episcopal Campus Ministry. Finding a place that doesn’t discriminate is comforting, Sanders said, adding that freshman year can be very overwhelming.

“I was a transfer student as a junior,” Sanders said. “I think it’s important to have a group of people you see regularly.

At the time, it was important for me to be part of the church. All the members are UA students, and I think it is nice to have people you can look to and speak with and not be judged.”

Hundreds of students circled the room, grabbing free dinner and speaking with members of different organizations. While freshmen were the target audience for the event, there was something for everyone looking to find their place at the UA. “This is the most ethnically diverse class we have ever had,” Vito said. “Over 40 percent of our freshman class is ethnically diverse.”

ASUA officials also plan to create a YouTube video explaining what the ASUA Senate does, Abraham said. Visits to clubs and greek organizations are in the works as well, he added. “[We will go out and say,] ‘Hey, don’t forget to vote; it’s incredibly important, do your research’ — that kind of stuff,” Abraham said.

“No one’s really done that in the past. In the past, it’s been up to the candidate to get people to vote, [and] then the whole office kind of sat back and watched. So, we’re looking forward to … seeing if we can increase turnout.”

on a lot of plants that are being used as landscaping, that [you] might as well go ahead and eat it,” Cross-Killingsworth said. “A lot of the oranges on campus fall on the ground and just get scooped up — same with the mesquite pods — and someone, somewhere in Arizona thought, ‘Hey, we should eat that.’”

There are 1800 trees on campus with harvestable products, according to Lenart.

Students said they see the benefit of oncampus harvesting.

“It’s important to have organic foods and such so that we can all be at [the] peak of our health,” said Aline Diaz, a pre-journalism

freshman. “I think it’s a really great way to make the most of our space. So it’s green space, it’s shade and it’s also the food we eat.”

Getting the word out to students is important, Cross-Killingsworth said.

“I don’t think a lot of people know how much food is available to eat on campus,” she said. “[Getting the word out to students is] definitely something we want to look at because there are 40,000 people sitting under all the mesquite trees going, ‘What are these beans?’”

Kino offers ideal spot for soccer Max Weintraub The Daily Wildcat

O

n Thursday, the Tucson Padres played their last game at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium. Coincidentally, they played the Reno Aces — formerly known as the Tucson Sidewinders — the last professional baseball team to exit our fair city. The throwback Tucson Toros jerseys the home team wore were just one more desperate attempt to hold on to a tradition of professional baseball that died when the Colorado Rockies packed their bags in 2010.

Professional baseball is having an identity crisis in this city, and it’s time to repurpose Kino Stadium to fill the growing demand for soccer.

Between 2000 and 2009, national youth participation in baseball fell 24 percent, while soccer participation has risen an average of 8 percent each year since 1990.

With the Arizona Wildcats’ baseball team breaking attendance records and winning a championship at Hi Corbett Field in 2012, the Padres experienced a dramatic dip in attendance. The 242,136 spectators from the team’s inaugural season in 2011 fell to fewer than 170,000 fans this season.

Tucson doesn’t need two high caliber baseball stadiums now that spring training has left for Phoenix.

Soccer is in high demand, and Kino Stadium can fill that demand.

Greg Byrne, athletic director at the UA, confirmed that the university considered making Kino Stadium the new facility for the Arizona baseball team, but decided that Hi Corbett had a more ideal location and better facilities for baseball. Most importantly, “the community [has] an affinity for Hi Corbett,” Byrne said.

Hi Corbett is the ideal baseball stadium for the Wildcats, but the Kino Sports Complex offers better facilities for soccer, according to FC Tucson head coach Rick Schantz.

“There’s not a bad seat at Kino,” Schantz said in an interview with Border Beat. “It’s actually very well designed.” For example, the game can be seen from the concession stands, which is very important for soccer since play only stops at halftime.

Schantz and the rest of the FC Tucson team are doing their best to convince the city that soccer has the potential to fill the $422 million vacuum left by the departure of spring training.

And they’re right. Kino Stadium is ready for soccer, and the change could benefit Tucson’s economy.

The Desert Diamond Cup Tournament has quickly become one of the premiere events of the Major League Soccer offseason. Only four teams participate in the two week long tournament, but more than half of the league’s 19 teams already spend time in Tucson for offseason training, aided by Kino Stadium’s robust soccer facilities.

As the young tournament continues to grow, potential economic benefits grow with it at very little risk to the city. Currently, all of the financial investment comes from FC Tucson’s owners, and even the $2.8 million renovations for Kino Stadium were paid for by a $5 million settlement with the Chicago White Sox. The MLS offseason is fairly unstructured, creating a prime opportunity for a spring training style tournament in Tucson.

The appeal of seeing world class players — past tournaments have featured the likes of David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Thierry Henry — and the mild February climate could be a major draw for tourists.

All told, Tucson soccer tournaments could fill an extra 4,600-4,700 hotel rooms above the yearly average in 2013, Tucson councilman Paul Cunningham told the Arizona Sonora News Service. This in turn would result in more money spent at restaurants, shopping malls and other tourist venues, boosting Tucson’s economy.

Plans to include a team from Mexico’s top soccer division would also increase revenue from Mexican tourists in Pima County, a source of nearly $1 billion in 2008.

Professional soccer in Tucson presents a major economic opportunity, and the city should take advantage of soccer’s growing popularity by converting the Kino Sports Complex into the hub of the MLS offseason.

ASA reforms will strengthen representation, accountability Anthony Carli The Daily Wildcat

T

he Arizona Students’ Association is one of the most important student organizations in the state of Arizona, and it will grow even stronger with a series of reforms being enacted this year.

On April 5, Gov. Jan Brewer signed HB 2169, prohibiting any student fee money from going to ASA, which previously relied on a $2 student fee for funding.

This fundamentally shifted the way that ASA operated, and new changes had to be adopted to ensure the organization’s survival.

As internal vice chair of the board, I have experienced firsthand the changes ASA has implemented to ensure that the power of the student movement will not be stifled by last year’s drama.

“One of our main focuses is going to be trying to represent the student voice even better and trying to put programs into place that enhance that,” said Edward Walneck, a UA law student and ASA board member.

Previously, the organization had hired campus organizers with offices at each university. ASA will continue to emphasize grassroots efforts, but it will

now rely more heavily on student organizers.

This not only holds the association accountable to Arizona students, rather than a non-student staff, but also gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on leadership experience.

“I returned as a student organizer not only because I advocate for the student voice, but also for the rewarding feeling that I helped collectively organize a large group of students for a greater cause,” said Devin Bembnister, a political science junior.

ASA is already planning its next campaign, which will focus on civic engagement including educating voters, registering students to vote and assisting in next year’s election.

Additionally, in June, ASA joined the United States Student Association, which provides resources, guidance and support to statewide student associations like ASA. ASA has also shifted its funding model to a more traditional non-profit structure and will be relying on grants to fund its operation.

“It’s obvious it’s a huge challenge,” Walneck said. “When any organization has to switch their funding model, it’s going to be difficult. But it also presents opportunity.”

To fill the position of executive director of ASA, the new board of directors hired Michael Powell, a professor at Estrella Mountain Community College and grants developer for Avondale. Powell wrote more than 40 successful grant proposals for Avondale that add up to over $7 million in revenue.

When asked whether he was worried about the organization’s ability to raise funds for operation, Powell said, “I’m confident that an organization like this represents an area that is needed, and whose needs can be supported by financial resources.”

As the Associated Students of the University of Arizona deliberates whether or not to remain affiliated with ASA, it should be mindful of the changes to the organization and understand the opportunity before it, as ASA will continue to grow in the coming years.

“I think it’s important for students at all three universities to talk about the larger issues at play,” Walneck said. “If we don’t stand together, then divided we fall apart.” He also said he believes ASA will be on the ground advocating for students whether they support the organization or not.

“ASA is there to support you.”

“I’m optimistic of ASA’s future, but I’m going to urge my Senate to focus on what’s best for the U of A,” said ASUA President Morgan Abraham.

His optimism is well-founded. I have every confidence in this board of directors and that the reforms being implemented this year will allow the organization to move forward and prove to Arizona students that ASA is committed to supporting them.

Legal drinking age should be 18 Wade Shields The Daily Wildcat

L

egal adults deserve to be treated as such. It’s time the arbitrary drinking age of 21 was lowered to 18, because there is no evidence that the National Minimum Drinking Age Act is effective or protects the people it is intended to protect.

The National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed in 1984, in an attempt to decrease the number of drunk driving-related accidents. The act threatens to decrease a state’s budget for highway construction and maintenance if it sets its drinking age under 21.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that the number of alcoholrelated fatalities involving a vehicle decreased from 26,173 to 16,885 between 1982 and 2005. However, it is impossible to prove a direct correlation between the higher drinking age and the decrease in

alcohol-related deaths.

Furthermore, the number of overall motor vehicle deaths is decreasing — a trend that alcoholrelated fatalities are sure to follow, regardless of the drinking age. For example, significant improvements in highway systems and vehicle safety have helped to decrease the overall number of motor vehicle deaths.

According to Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a nonprofit organization that works to make America’s roads safer, there were 43,945 motor vehicle-related deaths in 1982, a number that decreased to 43,510 in 2005 and 32,367 in 2011, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

More than 70 percent of teens have consumed alcohol by the time they reach 18, and about 80 percent of college students drink, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

A Campus Health survey conducted in 2011 found that 56 percent of underage UA students had illegally consumed alcohol once or more in the 30 days prior to being surveyed. The National

Minimum Drinking Age Act thus criminalizes the majority of underage students at the UA, an impractical and ineffective effort.

Katie Wilson, a junior studying special education and a resident assistant in Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, said she believes that the higher legal drinking age leads to riskier behavior in college students.

“Young adults tend to be more rebellious,” Wilson said. “In college especially, when you tell students they can’t do something, it’s the first thing they want to do.”

This inclination for risky behavior inevitably puts underage drinkers at risk. According to the NIAAA, more than 5,000 minors die of alcohol-related causes every year. Many of these deaths are preventable, but underage drinkers often do not call for help because they are worried about marring their permanent record with charges related to underage drinking.

“As a resident assistant in a dorm on campus, I see men and women with alcohol poisoning on a regular basis because the victim’s friends are terrified to bring them to the

hospital,” Wilson said. “Why? For fear of getting an MIP [minor in possession].”

There are only five states that offer legal immunity to underage drinkers if they report an emergency — Arizona isn’t one of them.

According to the NIAAA, underage people drink less often than adults, but when they do drink, they consume more alcohol than people who are over 21. The high drinking age makes it more difficult for underage college students to come into possession of alcohol, which can lead to binge drinking on occasions when alcohol is available.

Of course, with drinking comes a number of health hazards, but the way to fight these issues is not to criminalize underage drinkers. We should be focusing our tax dollars on increasing awareness about the dangers of binge drinking and promoting safe drinking habits, not setting and trying to enforce arbitrary drinking ages.

POLICE BEAT

BY ALISON DORF

The Daily Wildcat

Tossed into trouble

Three UA students were arrested after an officer from the University of Arizona Police Department observed them huddled together holding cans near Sixth Street and Park Avenue at approximately 12:10 a.m. on Monday.

The officer drove by the group to get a closer look at what they were holding, at which time one of the students threw his cans over the wall of a nearby residence. The other two left their cans on a low wall in front of the residence and the three began to walk away.

The officer approached the group and asked them to take a seat on the curb so he could ask them some questions.

The first student admitted she had been drinking Keystone Light, which she had gotten from a party that she and her friends had gone to earlier. When she saw the officer approaching, she left her beer on the wall of the residence, she said.

The second student said he had drunk about five or six cans of Keystone Light, but said he had gotten the beer from someone in his dorm.

The third student told the officer that he would only answer certain questions. He said he had drank about two cans of beer that evening, and that someone at a gas station had bought the beer for them.

The officer could smell alcohol on two of the students’ breath as they spoke, but none of the three submitted to a portable breath test.

After questioning the group, the officer arrested one student on charges of minor in possession and criminal littering. The two students who smelled of alcohol were arrested on charges of minor in possession, minor in possession in body and criminal littering.

All three were cited and released from the scene, and the officer disposed of the cans the students had left in front of the nearby residence and in the yard.

Photo op

While responding to assist another officer at a residence hall on Monday at approximately 12:45 a.m., a UAPD officer observed a UA student sitting on a UAPD motorcycle parked in front of the dorm.

The student appeared to be touching and moving things near the handlebars.

When he got off of the bike and began walking north, the officer stopped him and called a sergeant over to inspect the bike. The sergeant said the motorcycle appeared to be unharmed, and did not want to pursue any charges against the student.

The student told the officer that he had just sat on the bike and had someone take photos of him.

The officer explained to the student that he would not receive any criminal charges, but would receive a code of conduct violation.

Three strikes, you’re out

A UA student was arrested on charges of underage drinking and booked into Pima County Jail on Monday at approximately 12:50 a.m. An officer was responding to a call regarding men harassing a woman near a residence hall when he noticed the student, who matched the description of one of the men.

When questioned, the student said he was only passing through the area and was not involved in any incident with a woman, though he had noticed a lot of police in the area. A check with the lead officer in the case confirmed that the student was not one of the men they were looking for.

However, the officer noticed a strong smell of alcohol coming from the student’s breath and observed that he also had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and a noticeable sway while standing in place. The student admitted to drinking liquor and beer throughout the night, adding that this was college, so he was going to continue to hang out at stores and ask people to buy him alcohol.

A records check revealed that the student was diverted to the Dean of Students for underage drinking on Aug. 24, and arrested for underage drinking on Aug. 25. The officer arrested him on charges of underage drinking again, then searched him and took him to Pima County Jail, where he was booked into custody. A code of conduct violation was also completed.

WILBUR CAMPAIGNS

Wilbur T. Wildcat, one of the UA mascots, does pushups for the crowd at the football game against NAU on Friday.

Wilbur T. Wildcat competes in Capital One Mascot Challenge for second time in three years; last year Wilma failed to qualify for playoffs

BY Evan Rosenfeld

The Daily Wildcat

T

he UA’s own Wilbur T. Wildcat was selected to the 2013 All-America Challenge team and will compete in the annual Capital One Mascot Challenge.

This year’s team includes 16 mascots representing universities from across the nation.

This marks Arizona’s third year participating in the contest and Wilbur’s second appearance in the event.

Wilbur competed once before in 2011, when he made it to the final four.

His wife Wilma was selected to last year’s competition, but failed to collect enough votes to qualify for the playoffs.

Weekly head-to-head matchups throughout the season pit two mascots against each other for points. The victor is determined by the amount of support from students and fans through social media streams like Facebook and Twitter.

This year’s event will see the implementation of a new voting system that provides fans with three ways to vote and earn points for their school’s respective representative.

Supporters can vote traditionally on the capitalonebowl. com website, complete a weekly 25-point challenge by

using the hashtag #CapitalOneWilbur on Facebook and Twitter, or complete a weekly 100-point challenge by posting a picture or video to show school pride.

Coincidentally, the man inside Wilbur’s suit is an animal science junior.

“We are trying to promote ourselves in any way possible,” Wilbur said. “In order to rack up more votes, we are planning on getting shirts made and using social media networks to promote the hashtag #CapitolOneWilbur.”

While being a mascot is a unique and exciting job at times, it’s also a difficult role in a competitive Division I program.

No one is supposed to know the identities of the students inside the costumes until their unmasking at the halftime show during the last men’s basketball home game of the year, and more often than not, the students underneath the suit aren’t immediately recognized.

Wilbur and Wilma have a large influence, not only on spectators in the stands, but on the Tucson public as well, said Roberta Quiroz, cheerleading and mascots advisor.

“It’s amazing just how many people get excited when they see them,” Quiroz said. “[Wilbur and Wilma] are the ambassadors not only for the university, but for the whole Tucson community.

“They get hundreds of requests every year to go not only to university events, but also different fundraisers and

benefits around town for the community. They really are a representation not only of our athletics department, but also of our school.”

Beneath Wilma’s mask is an English and creative writing double major who said that community service, such as participating in fundraisers and working with children, is more rewarding than working to revamp tired crowds at football and basketball games.

“Being a part of the program here is rewarding in more ways than just athletic games,” Wilma said. “We get to be active in the community and [positively] impact other people. That’s what is most important to me.”

Wilbur said that there’s another level of responsibility when representing the UA. “Being a mascot to me is more than just being in the suit during games,” Wilbur said. “I represent the university and serve as a face, logo and icon for Arizona Athletics, while also contributing and giving back to the community in various other ways.

“Whatever I do in-suit will display how I feel about my school. I have to be careful and aware of everything I do in the costume, because there are a lot of kids who really look up to me.”

NCAA targets risky plays with ejections Wildcats try to avoid expulsions from games due to new provision hard hits, high stakes plays BY luke della

The Daily Wildcat Six NCAA football players were ejected this past week for violating the NCAA’s targeting penalty. The penalty, which now allows referees to eject college football players for viciously striking opposing players in the head or neck, drew a lot of attention this summer for being too harsh and unclear.

The official number of players who were penalized for targeting from week one has not yet been released, but six players, including California’s Chris McCain and Oregon’s Terrance Mitchell, were ejected from their respective games this past week for the infraction.

“I think [the targeting penalty] is scary,” UA head football coach Rich Rodriguez said on Monday. “But I think you’ll see it every weekend, guys getting ejected. You’ve just got to educate your players.”

Players who are ejected in the second half of a game not only have to leave the current game but are also suspended for the first half of the following game — that is, if the penalty isn’t reviewed and overturned.

Though McCain was ejected in the fourth quarter of California’s Saturday night 44-30 loss to No. 22 Northwestern, he will not be suspended from the Golden Bears’ upcoming game against Portland State because a Pac-12 review committee overturned the call.

This past week, there were also a couple of players who were initially ejected, but after a quick review had the ejection lifted and were allowed to return to the game immediately.

“It’s interesting, and I understand why they are emphasizing it, but it won’t change the way we play or practice,” senior Arizona linebacker Jake Fischer said.

“There’s too much other stuff to worry about for it to really cross your mind when you’re playing.”

A number of Wildcats had seen the highlights of the ejections but said that they didn’t think the calls were

outrageous. Some said that plays like the ones that happened this past week happen all the time in games and have always been called, but are now receiving more attention because of the ejections and suspensions that come with them.

All the players ejected this week were defensive players, but the new penalty is not limited to defense. Wildcats on both sides of the ball understand its severity. “[The targeting penalty] is real serious,” sophomore receiver Johnny Jackson said. “We can’t afford in any game to lose anyone. And when you’re going a million miles per hour, accidents happen. It would be a rough way to lose someone.”

Jackson, also a punt returner for Arizona, said he appreciates the extra protection that the new rule could bring in.

“You can’t worry too much about your safety,” Jackson said. “You’ve just got to go play, but knowing that the guy trying to stop me will have this to worry about does make me feel more safe.”

Rodriguez said he doesn’t have the time to teach his team about proper tackling because it’s something he expects them to already know how to do. But he said he has thought about ways to better inform his players so they don’t get ejected.

“I need to get our video guy to put together a clip of all the targeting and ejections and show it to our players,” Rodriguez said, “just so they know what the parameters are.”

I think you’ll see it every weekend, guys getting ejected.

You’ve just got to educate your players.

ZonaZoo strikes back for first home game

Pac-12 football power rankings: Wildcats avoid week one upset FCS schools upset seven FBS teams

BY Luke Della

Students in the ZonaZoo section cheer at the football game on Friday.

BY James Kelley The Daily Wildcat

F

or the last couple of years, it’s been hard to tell who UA fans hate more: ASU or ZonaZoo. Message boards, call-in shows, blogs and the comment sections of websites have been filled with venom for the student section members.

However, after being the whipping boy of Arizona supporters for quite some time, tZonaZoo made the other UA fans look foolish on Friday night.

The much-maligned student section was almost overflowing, while large parts of the rest of the stadium were empty.

So far this year ZonaZoo has sold 9,331 passes, a number it expects to “steadily increase,” ZonaZoo Executive Director Mario Ziccarelli said.

At the end of October 2012, 10,154 ZonaZoo passes had been sold. TucsonCitizen.com even reported that the young alumni and red zone section was used for overflow last week, though Ziccarelli said it was not.

At any rate, almost every ZonaZoo pass was used on Friday, while thousands of seats were empty in the rest of the stadium.

The most poignant example was where section one, the start of ZonaZoo, and section NEZ 36 meet. Section one is usually empty, but on Friday it was packed for most of the game and full for the first half, while only a handful of people were sitting in the NEZ seats.

The new sections were mostly empty, even though those seats are vastly superior to the benches that make up nearly all nonluxury box seating.

Last season, Arizona only averaged 47,931 audience members for home games — and that was when the UA went to a bowl, had an exciting new coach and hosted Oklahoma State, USC and ASU. It looks like the trend of low attendance at home games will

continue.

This was just one game, on a rainy Friday on Labor Day weekend, so maybe non-student attendance won’t always be as sparse as it was last week. Still, it’s looking like the student section will be a “sea of red” once again.

Considering the rain, the long weekend, timing and FCS competition. if there was ever a game students would not show up to and leave early en masse, it was this one.

Yet even after the winners of the $500 cash prizes were announced, only a handful of students left.

For most of the game, the only empty seats in the ZonaZoo section were a few dozen in ZonaZoo’s orphan section, eight, which is between the band and the new young alumni and red zone section. Some students left at halftime, and some trickled out as the UA pulled ahead, but UA officials praised ZonaZoo. After the game, head coach Rich Rodriguez said ZonaZoo was “terrific.” Athletic director Greg Byrne tweeted: “Outstanding job by @ZonaZooOfficial tonight!

Thanks for being there in force & staying the entire game. #BearDown.”

In 2013, a long list of improvements were made to ZonaZoo, like opening the gates closer to game time and adding misters, cash prizes and a section for the wildest fans. The ZonaZoo section was also cut from — 10,000 seats to 9,000 — and it’s looking like all the changes have paid off.

Printing “ZonaZoo stays the Entire Game” on T-shirts or putting penalty cards on the wall in front of ZonaZoo probably didn’t help much, but the effort and ideas of the current ZonaZoo front office are leading to its comeback.

The ZonaZoo was once a source of pride for Wildcats. The victory against NAU was just one game, but maybe the section is starting to return that status — so the Arizona fanbase can live in harmony again.

ODDS & ENDS ‘No Ordinary’ art on display at UA museum Overheard On Campus

Man: “Your umbrella is just a condom for rain.”

BY TYLER MCDOWELL-BLANKEN

On The Spot

The Daily Wildcat

Hello, world!

Matthew Barragan, engineering sophomore

What’s your favorite class right now?

My EC275 programming class.

What kind of programming?

Programming

in C. Is that your favorite language?

I like Java better, but we’re just learning C to start with.

I’m a sophomore, so I’m just getting into different languages and starting to program different, higherlevel programming.

Is programming something you want to do with your career?

I’m not too sure yet. I want to do something in computers, either programming or building the actual computers and networking.

Should people keep their options open, or be more focused on a specific career?

For your first two years [of college], have your options open and see where that takes you. After that, you should be more focused on something that you like and love to do — instead of being focused in the beginning and finding out that’s not what you want to do.

Have you been undecided this whole time, or did you immediately begin in engineering?

I went right into engineering, but in high school I was undecided. I wanted to go into the medical field, like a neurologist. But in high school I started tinkering with programming and engineering courses, and I fell in love with it.

Do you remember a moment when you fell in love with it?

When I wrote my first program, it was just a simple, basic, “Hello world.” It pops up on the screen, and you’re just like, “I made it; I made that pop up on the screen.”

HOROSCOPES Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — It’s back to work, big time. Test colors or spices before committing to expensive ingredients. Don’t get stopped by a friendly disagreement.

Taurus (April 20May 20) — Today is a 6 — Go for substance over symbolism. Stock

This is the final week Tucsonans can visit the “No Ordinary Place” exhibit currently on display at the UA Museum of Art. “No Ordinary Place,” an exhibit made up of work by Carrie Marill, Matthew Moore, Kevin Cyr and Colin Chillag, aims to showcase settings that wouldn’t typically be thought of as beautiful or inspiring, such as a Circle K or a mobile home. Artists took a variety of approaches in creating their work, depicting scenes from both urban and nature settings.

“It is a good exhibition for people who aren’t as savvy with the art world,” said Brooke Grucella, a professor of practice at the UA School of Art and curator for the exhibit. Each artist brought an “exceptional amount of aesthetically crafted work” to the exhibit, which will help encourage selfinterpretation and dialogue among viewers of all ages and backgrounds, she said. “[It] makes you think about what you’re thinking,” Grucella said.

However, despite the fact that Chillag’s work was chosen to be featured, he said he is not always confident in taking chances with his art.

“It used to be something that was really discomforting for me,” Chillag

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS /THE DAILY WILDCAT PHOENIX ARTIST COLIN CHILLAG’S artwork is currently on display as part of the UA Museum of Art’s “No Ordinary Place” exhibit. The exhibit is free to UA students, faculty and staff.

said.

Chillag will be in attendance to discuss his artwork and give an oral presentation from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

The artist was born in Syracuse, N.Y., but has lived in Phoenix for the better part of a decade. His work is on display in galleries throughout the country, including in Miami, Los Angeles and his hometown. Tucson is the latest addition to the list.

“It’s a really welcome opportunity.

It’s an honor,” Chillag said. “That’s always where I was always kind of hoping to end up ... In the back of my mind was always the museum.”

Chillag said people should view the exhibit because the featured art spotlights aspects of everyday life that people don’t necessarily view as art.

The exhibit, which has been open to the public since the end of May, will end on Sunday. Chillag said he hopes to receive a positive reaction from the community.

“I just let go,” Chillag said. “I certainly hope people enjoy it.”

Admission to the museum is free for students with ID, faculty and staff, and $5 for adults.
