President Robbins' first Homecoming as a Wildcat

Daily Wildcat reporter Sasha Hartzell interviewed University of Arizona President Dr. Robert Robbins. They talked about his plans for his first UA Homecoming, his career and how he plans to differentiate himself from past UA presidents.

Daily Wildcat: This is your first University of Arizona homecoming. How are you planning on celebrating it?

President Robert Robbins: I hear that I’m supposed to get

up and go to some restaurant for breakfast at 6 a.m. And I can’t remember the name of the restaurant, but I’m told that that’s tradition. So I’m going to get up particularly early and try to enjoy it. It’s one of the great traditions we have on campus. And of course I’m going to top it off by being down on the field when the final horn goes off and we win against Washington State. And that’ll be a good day.

DW: Your career has taken you through many universities, from the University of Mississippi to Stanford. What is one of your favorite homecoming memories?

RR: I used to love homecoming. I grew up on a little-bitty junior

college campus in Mississippi where my grandfather taught mathematics for almost 50 years. And the town — it was just a littlebitty town, 1,500 people then, 1,500 people now — and there would be a big parade that went down Main Street. It started at the college campus where I lived and was about a mile parade out there to Main Street. Everybody just got so into it. It was a really, really big deal.

You know, I feel like I’m returning back to that time. Stanford they didn’t even call it homecoming, they called it “Reunion Weekend.” It was nice, but I was working, doing heart surgery then. I just think Tucson has such a soul about it and the UA has such great traditions and the alumni are so passionate about the university that I’m just really excited ... Tucson is a little bit of a smaller town; it’s a big deal to have homecoming, and we make it a big deal on campus. I’m really excited about not just Saturday but the whole next week.

DW: What part of the homecoming are you most excited for?

RR: I think I’m most excited for the football game because I

think we’re on a real roll. If we can win tomorrow [against Cal], homecoming will not only be great for the tradition and the sentimental value of it, but we’ll be right in the heart to then go the next week to Los Angeles to play Southern Cal, which would

be essentially for the right to represent the Pac-12 South in the championship game, then to go to our first Rose Bowl. I cannot believe that the Wildcats have never been to the Rose Bowl, so I’m excited about winning the football game. I am looking forward to retiring my jersey as a Wildcat for life.

DW: What do you anticipate is going to be different about the UA’s homecoming, in contrast with other homecomings you’ve attended?

RR: For me, it’ll be that I’m so lucky to be here and so humble

about the opportunity to lead this university. Homecoming will be special to me because I’m the person that everyone looks to lead this university.

At the other ones I’ve been more of a casual observer. But this

'A' Mountain lighting kicks off Homecoming 2017 The University of Arizona family of the future and past graduates gazed at “A” Mountain as it turned bright red, marking the official start of Homecoming Week 2017.

At Sentinel Peak, better known as “A” Mountain, the Bobcats Senior Honorary lit red flares to start what hopefully continues to be an exciting week of events at the university.

The UA Student Alumni Ambassadors hosted the free event on the top floor of Main Gate Garage, a good vantage point for students and the surrounding Wildcat community to enjoy the kickoff to Homecoming.

Melinda Burke, president of the Alumni Association, welcomed the crowd.

“I’m happy this is the beginning of Homecoming Week," Burke said. "It’s going to be a blast, and we have events all week long. If you’re here, you’re part of the Alumni

Association. If you’re here, you’re a Wildcat for life, and that means not just while you’re at the University of Arizona but for the rest of your life.”

As the “A” shined red, participants ate pizza, danced, socialized and snapped photos to remember their start to the week.

Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat, UA cheerleaders, the 2017 Homecoming Court and the UA Alumni Band attended and received cheers from the crowd.

Bryce Muse, an Alumni Band member, said he enjoys festivities like the lighting celebration after hearing the crowd chant along with the band as they played the Bear Down Arizona fight song.

“For me, it’s fun because you sometimes see people that you know and they’re like ‘hey look, you’re in the band,’” he said. “Some people dig it, some don’t, but you live with the good stuff and you just keep on rocking and you’re just here with people having fun.”

The celebration at Main Gate Garage was created in 2011, just three years after

the Bobcats Senior Honorary were able to reintroduce the lighting of the mountain with the other festivities throughout Homecoming Week.

“I think the event shows what it means to be a Wildcat and to be a part of something bigger than yourself,” said Sydney Hess, president of Sophos, a UA sophomore honorary. “We’re all standing and watching the lighting of the mountain, but I think it’s special in that you can see people from so many different groups come together because we are Wildcats.”

The event brought out Wildcat alumni from different generations. Two women from the class of 1967 were in attendance to watch the lighting of the “A.” Guadalupe Guerrero Romero and her friend Hermania Sepulveda both agreed the university and its surroundings have really changed since their time at the UA. Without the help of Romero’s grandson, currently a junior at the UA, they wouldn’t have found the event, Romero said.

Sepulveda hopes students will remember their time at the UA. “I hope 50 years from now they have the same loyalty and wonderful memories that I have,” Sepulveda said. “I hope the graduates, or soon-to-be graduates, also give back to the community.”

The “A” Mountain history was established some 50 years before their graduating class.

Albert H. Condron, a UA football player and civil engineering student in 1914, created a class assignment to hopefully add an “A” on Sentinel Peak.

He noted that their recent football opponent, Pomona College, carved a “P” onto their hillside. It took students around two years and $397 to complete the 70-footwide and 160-foot-long “A”.

Different groups across the campus will be joining in Homecoming events all throughout the week; some of them taking place on the UA Mall. It will come to a close with the Homecoming football game against the Washington State Cougars on Oct. 28.

Topic of the week: Homecoming Four Daily Wildcat columnists share their thoughts on Homecoming, how the king and queen should be chosen and showing pride for their alumni

HOCO all about school pride

OPINION

BY TONI MARCHEVA @dailywildcat

BY ALEC SCOTT @dailywildcat

W

s another year draws to a close and the University of Arizona once again begins the secretive process of electing a Homecoming king and queen, the ability to reflect on our more elusive and less concrete traditions once again returns in full. Beyond a football game and some pageantry, what is Homecoming? To deny it anything beyond its fireworks and tailgating would be to do a timehonored tradition a great disservice. I’m not a sentimental person, and to be entirely honest, I’ve never attended a single Homecoming event in my entire career — not just as a student or as a resident of Tucson — but my appreciation for Homecoming does not come from its parties, but instead from the feeling of school spirit and pride it creates. It is what makes Arizona special and worth remembering, which makes my college experience more uniquely Arizonan and offers me the ability to attend a school full of students who are excited and eager to consider themselves Wildcats. Even if I could not care less about the events around campus, the fact that they exist and are so popular makes even my disinterested participation in university life that much more interesting and fulfilling.

hat high schools call “homecoming” is really more like a less formal fall prom with a bit of celebrating senior football players and cheerleaders. Universities keep the original intent; Homecoming is a time to celebrate the return of alumni.

Unlike high school, there is no one big central event that defines Homecoming week. Events span from Monday until the game on Saturday, and although many are geared toward alumni, undergraduates can take advantage of many of them, too, including the faculty fellows trick-or-treating, the UA bonfire in front of Old Main and the tailgate before Saturday’s game. Overall, it’s a great week to de-stress after midterms and feel excited to be part of the UA. Not to mention, you can look forward to coming back after graduating!

So I hope none of you have to be among the confused freshmen who wander campus looking for a dance or something. As a veteran of the confused, I can assure you that just because Homecoming Week may not be what you originally expected, doesn’t mean it won’t be great.

omecoming for the UA has been a tradition held since the early ‘20s. These festivities have included large-scale parades with beautiful floats circling the Mall and hundreds of activities, including various games, drinks and yes, food. Homecoming also includes a football game that is centered around the whole event.

Homecoming offers a lot for the alumni who come back to campus to reminisce on old memories such as “A” Mountain with its re-lighting and to see how the campus structure and life has changed since their time as a student. I recall once walking on campus with my grandfather, a fellow alumnus himself, and we enjoyed bonding and discovering the new buildings on campus.

For students who have Wildcat alumni in their lives, having them visit is a great opportunity for bonding. It’s also a way for the alumni to reconnect with friends from decades ago. As a current student, the idea of Homecoming should be for the sole recognition of the alumni. They can give advice to former students. The interaction between past and present can be a very valuable reason to hold Homecoming.

GUEST LETTER

BY SAMMY MINSK @dailywildcat

ere at the Daily Wildcat, I like to imagine how the homecoming king and queen are elected and, once crowned, how they’ll use their royalty. This is how I assume these prestigious couples come into power: They endure a series of obstacles filled with zombie-killing and beer pong. The remaining contestants then have to walk down a tightrope over a forest of cacti while preposterously drunk. The male and female who don’t fall and die from thorns become the new king and queen. With broken arms and missing eyes, the new royalty limp down a red carpet laid out on the Mall. Alumni greet them at the end of the carpet and ask the new Homecoming king and queen to please get down on one knee. An alumnus pulls out a sword from his belt and taps it on both their shoulders, confirming their positions as the new royals. He then presents them with a $5 gift card to Applebee’s and a packet of szechuan sauce to share. They are offered VIP lawn chair seating while watching the Homecoming Parade. That’s the extent of how far their power goes, but it’s worth it, because szechuan sauce.

ear Alumni, Welcome back to the University of Arizona for Homecoming 2017. This is my sixth Homecoming as president of the University of Arizona Alumni Association and my favorite time of year at the university.

The temperature is just starting to cool off, fall sports are in full swing and Homecoming festivities are underway.

I love meeting alumni from across the world as they return to campus to reminisce about their time as students and reconnect with friends and classmates. Alumni enjoy walks along the UA Mall, visit favorite professors, attend events or talks at their colleges and eat at their favorite restaurants on University Boulevard. It’s great fun to watch alumni and their families stop at Old Main for a picture in front of the fountain.

The Alumni Association has a great weekend planned for alumni and students, including one of my favorite events: the 50th Class Reunion. Alumni who graduated 50 years ago are always so grateful to celebrate the university and UA traditions. Fifty years may have passed, but they remember their time as students like it was yesterday.

The alumni association’s 120th anniversary lunch and Alumni of the Year awards ceremony are Friday afternoon with guest speaker UA President Dr. Robert Robbins. If you haven’t met the university’s new president, you are in for a treat. Dr. Robbins has hit the ground running, meeting alumni at every turn from events across the country to university open houses. Like me, he believes our alumni are a testament to how special this university is. In fact, we believe Wildcat alumni are the best in the world. They make a difference as leaders in their communities. Thank you for representing the University of Arizona with pride.

Enjoy the traditions this weekend — the bonfire and pep rally, crowning of the Homecoming king and queen, the Wildcat for Life Tailgate Party and the Homecoming Parade. Visit arizonaalumni.com for more information.

I look forward to a wonderful Homecoming and hope to meet as many of you as possible throughout the weekend.

Let’s make sure to cheer on our 5-2 football team as they face off against Pac-12 opponent Washington State. Be a part of a great Homecoming win!

POLICE BEAT

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique

Losing coach A University of Arizona student’s vehicle was broken into Nov. 8, 2014, during the Homecoming football game.

The student informed a University of Arizona Police Department officer that someone had broken into her car and stolen her purse. She told the officer she had parked in the parking lot in order to attend the football game. When she returned to her vehicle about four hours later, she found her right rear window broken and her brown leather purse was missing.

According to the student, the purse had not been visible because it was hidden under a laptop; the laptop was not stolen.

The student told the officer that the purse contained multiple valuables, including approximately $100 in cash, a bottle of perfume worth $100, makeup products worth about $150 and the purse itself, a Coach worth approximately $400.

No damage was reported, other than the broken window.

Wedding bell varsity blues A woman lost her wedding ring valued at $4,000 at the Homecoming football game on Nov. 11, 2006.

According to the report, the woman said that she took off the ring to apply suntan lotion. However, she could not remember where she put it when she looked for it later.

According to the woman, the ring was double-band platinum with a large, round diamond in the center surrounded on either side by three smaller diamonds.

She searched the area around where she had been sitting, as well as the restroom, but the ring ultimately went unfound.

You’ll float too Police arrived at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity on the night of Nov. 8, 2002, after receiving reports of vandalism on the property. DTD fraternity members told police that at approximately 8:30 p.m., about 20 members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity damaged DTD’s Homecoming Parade float.

According to reports given by students, two members of DTD were guarding their fraternity’s Homecoming float when about 20 members of SAE came out of a nearby alleyway and charged the float.

The group tore pieces of tissue paper off the side of the float. A side panel was also ripped off and dragged across North Cherry Avenue before being thrown on the ground. None of the damage to the float was permanent.

Students told officers that during the charge, two members of DTD were punched

by SAE members and that several members of DTD chased SAE members into the SAE fraternity house on Second Street.

One member of DTD told police that he recognized two of the SAE members as people he went to high school with.

History of bearing down for Button

BY CORINNA TELLEZ @DailyWildcat

Wildcats “Bear Down” because 91 years ago on Oct. 17, 1926, John Byrd “Button” Salmon told us to.

In the fall of 1926, Salmon was the new University of Arizona student body president, member of the “A” Club, the Bobcats, the Chain Gang, Sigma Nu Social Fraternity, a baseball catcher and a star varsity quarterback.

After the varsity football team won against the freshman team in an annual match in early October, Salmon and two of his fraternity brothers took a trip to Phoenix.

On their return trip to Tucson, Salmon and his fraternity brothers were in a rollover car accident near Florence that left him paralyzed below his second rib and in critical condition. Fourteen days later, Salmon, 22, died at St. Mary’s Hospital, but his last words to McKale and his team continue to live on to this day: “Tell them … tell the team to bear down,” Salmon said to UA football coach at the time, James F. “Pop” McKale.

The football team listened to the before every home game in honor of words of Salmon and won its next Salmon. Inside the stadium, “Bear two games. Salmon’s words began Down” can also be found on the turf. to spread throughout campus.

is my life, and I want people to come back and remember their time of being here on campus, get really excited about the things that we are doing at the university now and what we’ll do over the next 10 years. I hope I’m lucky enough to stay here for 10 years and retire as a Wildcat forever.

I feel a sense of responsibility of making the trip back to campus one that will be worth it, one [where alumni] will meet their friends from days gone by and hopefully connect and meet new friends [and], most importantly, be proud of the direction the university is going in and of the great things we’re doing — not only on the sports field and courts, but more importantly what we’re doing academically, how we’re discovering new knowledge, how we’re transferring that new knowledge and training the next generation of leaders to go out into the community and do great things.

DW: So what is your vision for the direction of the university?

RR: I believe as a land-grant university we’ve

got the opportunity to, and the responsibility to, look at all segments of the mission of the university, whether it be agriculture, whether it be human health, engineering, philosophy, the arts, humanity.

We have such a broad and diverse mission.

I believe we are positioned with all of our accomplishments, being one of the top 35 research universities that at the same time is

very student-centric, that we have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to leverage all of our assets together to prepare our students for a life of work in a rapidly changing world.

I often reference the fourth industrial revolution, where there’s an emergence of physical science, biological science, digital science and the dramatic effect that this rapidly changing world is going to have on humanity and society. I think that the vision I have for the University of Arizona would be to step up over the next 10, 15, 20 years and be a global leader as we contemplate all of these changes, to prepare our students for a lifetime where they’ll have five, 10, 15 jobs in their lifetime, prepare them by giving them an education, the highest quality of education and skills that will allow them to be successful in the early stages of the fourth industrial revolution.

However, I think we need to focus our research strategies around the collaborative efforts of the convergence of these three areas of expertise so that we can discover the next new thing, the next transformational technique, or service, or device, or process that will simply make the world a better place. I think we’ve got a great opportunity to do that.

DW: What do you want homecoming attendees and visitors to know about how you’re going to differentiate your presidential legacy from the last president’s?

RR: I’ve gotten to meet all the living former

presidents, except for president Shelton. I haven’t

of an effort to keep the traditions and history of Salmon alive by branding “Bear Down” on its website, in social media and in print, plus a highprofile use on the artificial turf in the stadium. The UA also carries on tradition by making sure the story of Salmon remains accurate.

“That’s a pretty epic and historic story to be told, and it gives me a lot of joy that it has transcended over generations,” Lloyd Fox, graduate of ’89 and former member of the Bobcats, said. “It resonates with everyone.”

So, what does Bear Down mean to you?

Llyod Fox, graduate of 1989 and former member of Bobcats: “To me, it means that a Wildcat never gives up — that no matter what’s upon [you], you reach within and grab everything you can, and you bring it.”

James Francis: “To me, it’s an association with the school and a sense of pride and a connection with fans.”

Melinda Burke, president of the Alumni Association: “It’s this institutional pride combined with hard work and smarts to be successful.”

gotten to meet him yet, but I’ve gotten to spend a lot of time talking to him. Those are big shoes to fill. I just hope that my legacy will be one that I was able to get people inspired and excited about the future, transform.

Speak to all the former presidents, they will point to President John Schaefer. They all say that President Schaefer, who was president of our university at age 37, was the most transformational president in our history.

And when I ask him about that, he says, “Yes, I was.” I don’t for a minute think that I’ll be as transformational as President Schaefer, but I’d like to be known as the person who really inspired and brought all the stakeholders at the university together to have a second transformation, if you will, in reference to Schaefer.

[A transformation] that we will bring people together, that we will educate in a different manner. I’m really a big fan of active learning and collaborative learning, so I’m hoping that we will buy into that methodology of education and also we’ll bring all of our great colleges together in a collaborative, cooperative way so that we will discover new knowledge, that we will have discovery of the next new process in human health, or in astronomy, or optical science, or economy — with these three disciplines coming together: physical, biological, and digital science.

I think we have an opportunity and a moment in time where the UA is ready for something huge and transformational again, just as they were in the days of President Schaefer. And I hope that I’ll be known as the president who willed us to the Rose Bowl and won a national championship in multiple sports. So that’s a lot.

UA alumni make Homecoming successful

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

Homecoming is here and it is made possible by the donations and membership fees of University of Arizona alumni to the UA Alumni Association.

UA’s worldwide network of 270,000 former students provide invaluable resources to current students, as well as help fund scholarships, legislative advocacy efforts and alumni career services.

At a university-wide scale, alumni provide critical financial support to their alma mater through donations to the UA Foundation.

Last year, donations to the UA Foundation from alumni exceeded $17 million, or 9 percent of all donations.

With these donations, the UA invests its more than $660 million endowment to fund scholarships, programs and other activities.

One way the program’s individuals and alumni can contribute through the UA Foundation is the Undergraduate Biology Research Program, administered by Carol Bender.

“There are many ways that UBRP alumni contribute to the program; they form a valuable professional network for current UBRP students, they serve on our career panels and on our advisory board and their financial donations help support current students,” Bender said.

UBRP alumni’s personal and gratifying firsthand experience in the program is often the driving force for them to support the program any way they can after graduating, according to Bender.

Homecoming week takes this to a campuswide scale.

For the UA, Homecoming connects former graduates to their old campus memories and spirit and encourages them to support the next generation of Wildcats.

Yet the UA continues to lag behind in donations to its foundation and alumni support.

According to UA’s endowment report, the UA’s endowment is ninth in the PAC-12 and will not grow on its own. After the success of the Arizona Now campaign, the momentum of donations needs to be maintained.

Brian Kish, former senior vice president for central development at the University of Arizona Foundation, told CNN in 2014 that alumni donations continue to decrease, but with new strategies, their increased donations could offer UA support to expand research and scholarships.

Homecoming Week also offers companies sponsorships to cover the expenses of the week’s events.

This year sponsors include Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, Hensley Beverage Company, Tucson International Airport, the Marshall Foundation, Bank of America, AutoNation, Whole Foods Market and the UA Bookstore.

ARTS & LIFE UA Alumni Drumline brings back the beat

Wednesday — Tuesday Oct. 25 ­­— Sept. 1 Page 13

Members of the UA Alumni Drumline and Alumni Band will perform in various Homecoming events

BY SARAH WORKMAN @DailyWildcat

The University of Arizona Alumni Drumline will perform in this year’s annual Homecoming Parade on Saturday, Oct. 28.

The drumline is an assembly of UA drumline alumni who walk in the parade every year.

The drumline also takes part in the football game’s halftime performance with the current UA band, the Pride of Arizona.

Bob Kruse, a member of the Alumni Drumline, was recruited to join the Pride of Arizona drumline when he was a freshman in 1968.

“I was actually pretty burnt out with music from high school because I had played in all-state band and a rock and roll band and a bunch of other things, but I got an invitation from Jack Lee, the director, [who] is the guy that wrote ‘Bear Down Arizona,’ and he invited me to audition.”

Although he graduated in 1972, Kruse was a member of the drumline from 1968 to 1970. He said it was difficult to balance his work as a mechanical engineering major as well as a band schedule, and therefore did not stay in the band for his whole college experience.

However, Kruse is still grateful for the time he spent with the UA band; he even met his first wife while in the UA band.

“It was a life-changing thing to join the band,” Kruse said.

Kruse is not only a member of the Alumni Drumline, but also the UA Alumni Band.

The band has performed at tailgates for home games, alumni club events and other campus occasions, whereas the drumline only performs during Homecoming.

The Alumni Drumline does not even need to practice for their performances

during Homecoming. Many of the members already know the songs that have been performed from their participation in the UA band during their time at the university. The songs that the drumline usually performs include “Bear Down,” “Fight Wildcats Fight” and “Here Comes the Band.”

Deborah K. Kruse, Bob’s wife, helps out with the alumni band whenever she can. Bob said that in past years, his wife has held the banner during the Homecoming Parade and helped out band members by holding their sheet music when they perform.

“Mostly I just show up and see what needs to be done; sometimes I’m one of the people who begs for tips because I’m a teacher and I have a loud voice and I can be persuasive,” Deborah said with a laugh.

Bob said he and his wife also bring breakfast for the current UA band and members of the alumni band if the parade is early. However, this year, the game will not be until later in the day, so Bob will play with the band at some of the tailgates before the parade instead of bringing breakfast.

“This year the parade is in the afternoon so we don’t have to

cook,” Kruse joked.

In 2005, the Alumni Drumline purchased a tile inside the Eddie Lynch Athletics Pavilion as a tangible gesture to be a part of the UA athletics community.

“The younger guys [in the drumline] wanted to do a tile and so we all chipped in some money,” Bob said.

Bob has been involved with the Alumni Drumline since 1985, approximately 13 years after he graduated from the UA. He said the drumline has kept him feeling young, “except after the homecoming parade when I feel very tired.”

Although Bob is a member of three other non-UA bands

in Tucson, he said he would feel disconnected from the university if he were not a part of the Alumni Drumline.

“I would probably feel a little left out, wishing I could still play with a fun group like that,” he said.

Carlos Hermosa, another member of the UA Alumni Drumline, said he looks forward to reconnecting with members at their annual performances.

“No matter how far we all come from, it’s the spirit of Homecoming and returning to our alma mater for a bit of nostalgia that makes it worthwhile,” he said.

Students build floats for Homecoming Parade

BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917

October at the University of Arizona isn’t quite like October at most other universities: the temperature regularly surpasses 90 degrees, there aren’t many leaves starting to change color and sweater season is still in the distant future. One thing that is essential to October at the UA and at colleges across the country, however, is Homecoming — one of the biggest Homecoming traditions being the Homecoming Parade.

The parade will kick off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28, and feature more than 50 floats, the Pride of Arizona marching band and this year’s Homecoming royalty.

Every year an alumni class is given the honor of participating in the parade through the Wildcat Reunion March. This year, the class of 1967 will hold the honorable position and walk the parade route alongside all the floats, marking 50 years since they attended school here at the UA.

The UA Alumni Association’s website dubs the parade “our most treasured homecoming tradition.”

The parade features floats, and if there are floats, there are floatmakers.

Daniel Hynes, a prepsychological science sophomore, is one of the float-makers this year. A member of the Student Alumni Ambassadors, Hynes was appointed to Homecoming float parade co-chair within his organization for this year’s festivities alongside fellow co-chair Bailey Grijalva.

Hynes and Grijalva have been preparing for the parade since last semester. Participating in the Homecoming Parade has been a tradition for the SAA since they were first founded in 1997, this year marking 20 years for the organization.

The float will be themed around the UAAA’s 120-year anniversary, of which the SAA is a part. The main section of the float will feature a huge birthday cake surrounded by presents, balloons, streamers and the like, all in classic Wildcat

colors. Behind the cake will feature a backdrop wishing the Alumni Association a happy anniversary.

After deciding on this year’s theme and planning out the production schedule and building process last semester, Hynes and Grijalva began structure and woodwork in September. Within the six weeks they were given to put the float together, the two received help from the SAA Taskforce and general members.

In these past couple weeks, the team has moved onto the decorating phase, and with the parade coming up in just a few days, the finishing touches are all that’s left before the float is ready to join the many others parading down the UA Mall.

“I think the coolest part [of the process] from a leader’s standpoint is all the people that come out and help you,” Hynes said.

“We’ve got a very diverse group of people coming in every week and we’re getting these people to communicate, we’re getting these people to connect on a level outside of a professional environment or a

Homecoming Parade celebrates Wildcat spirit

BY ZOE CROWDUS @DailyWildcat

The University of Arizona Alumni Association continues to celebrate one of its favorite traditions with the Homecoming Parade, which kicks off this Saturday, Oct. 28.

Marching on the UA Mall, the parade includes more than 50 floats, Homecoming royalty and the Pride of Arizona marching band. The parade will begin at 2 p.m. and has a history of an overwhelming turnout by the UA community.

A tradition that began in 1914, and has only been suspended for World Wars I and II, continues to bring students and alumni together to celebrate the history of UA. A member of the Junior Honorary Chain Gang, Abby Williams, is particularly looking forward to this years’ homecoming parade.

“This year is especially exciting for me, because I am number 17 in Chain Gang and since it’s Homecoming 2017, everyone in my lineage from the past 10 years is coming back to celebrate,” Williams said. “A ton of other alumni come back as well and we spend all day Saturday together doing different Chain Gang and UA traditions.”

Student honorary groups are a rich part of UA history and contribute to the homecoming traditions. According to the UA Junior Honorary Chain Gang’s website, the group consists of “the 35 most qualified, ambitious, and involved

Juniors at the UA who pride themselves on school spirit, forming life long bonds, and passing down traditions that will live in the throughout the history of the University of Arizona.”

The name of the organization originates from their motto, “like a chain we are linked”, which comes from their practice of passing down their number to an upcoming honorary.

“We have a whole week of activities leading up to the parade,” Williams said. “In the parade itself, we all ride on a school bus that we decorate and stick our heads out of the windows and cheer.”

Hoping to make the parade more competitive and attract more student groups to participate in creating the floats, this year’s parade will include a competition, with a decorative prize belt for the winning float.

“The big deal that we have with this year’s parade is with our float entries,” said Denise Shorbe, Project Specialist at the Alumni Association. “We’re doing a competition this year and we’ve incorporated an actual prize that will be for the winner. They’ll have a photo opportunity with the belt and we’ll put it on display here at the alumni association.”

Alumni groups also use the parade to honor their members. Shorbe said this is another example of tradition that has been carried over from previous parades.

Consider your own experiences, as they will help in answering your question. Has sex been fun, memorable and a source of pleasure?

Has it been consensual? If you answered “no” to any of these, it could mean that it’s time to take a different approach to alcohol and how it affects your relationships and sense of self-worth.

On the surface it can seem like alcohol makes everything easier.

Drinking can make shy people feel outgoing, the inexperienced seem seasoned and the demure act daring.

But mixing alcohol and sex also comes at a price. The judgment skills that we take for granted when we are sober are drowned out, leading to decisions that can compromise our health and safety.

By having the courage to question your past behavior, you are taking the biggest and most difficult step toward improved health. Fortunately, there are resources on campus that can help you along the way, including Counseling & Psych Services (CAPS) at UA Campus Health.

Homecoming traditions keep the spirit alive

BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat

Homecoming is upon us, Wildcats.

Sunday, Oct. 22 marked the beginning of the Homecoming celebration with the lighting of “A” Mountain, and the festivities will continue until Saturday, Oct. 28. Melinda Burke, who is the vice president of University of Arizona Alumni Relations and president of the UA Alumni Association, offered some insight into the traditions of Homecoming and just what they mean to our university.

LIGHTING OF “A” MOUNTAIN According to Burke, this tradition started in the early 1900s. The brass would be burned off the “A” in order to get it ready for whitewashing.

“It was in 2011 that we brought back the tradition of lighting the ‘A,’” Burke recalled. “We do that now in the tradition to launch the start of Homecoming week.”

THE HOMECOMING PARADE

Another huge tradition for Homecoming, the parade is a crowd favorite and is brought to the University

of Arizona by the alumni association.

“The parade is probably over 100 years old,” Burke said. “It used to be really a big way for all the clubs and organizations to show their support for the university. It’s not necessarily quite so much that anymore. We still have clubs that participate, but we don’t have quite the number of clubs that participate as we used to. It’s a very fun tradition.”

HOMECOMING BONFIRE

Burke said she would have to research exactly how long the bonfire tradition has been around, but she thinks the bonfire has been part of Homecoming since the event started.

This year’s bonfire will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27. The program will begin with a march from the Bear Down Friday Night Pep Rally from Main Gate to the Old Main Fountain. The Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned, with the bonfire following the crowning.

These traditions, among others, have a purpose to reconnect with the university and to show your pride, according to Burke.

Get trashed without trashing the planet?

Possibly. A science reporter talked to local bars and restaurants about their sustainble practices

BY SIBU KUNNIE @DailyWildcat

There’s a big blue recycling bin in the center of Frog and Firkin’s outdoor serving area. It can’t be missed, and it offers patrons and staff an alternative to simply throwing recyclable items away.

This is significant because according to 2014 EPA data, the United States produces upwards of 200 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) every year. 89 million tons of waste were recycled in 2014, an amount equivalent to the yearly emissions of 38 million cars.

FROG AND FIRKIN

The conspicuous bin is one of the ways that Frog and Firkin actively seeks to reduce environmental waste.

Brittney Gregory, front house manager at Frog and Firkin, said the effort began with an employee.

“Two years ago, we had an employee doing environmental science as her major,” Gregory said. “She pointed out that people would be more inclined to order bottled beers if they knew that we recycled.”

After that, Frog and Firkin got a separate bin for recycling.

Bartenders at Frog and Firkin now recycle all of their empty bottles, and Gregory said that diligence has paid off — literally.

“I think that we sell more bottles now,” Gregory said.

ILLEGAL PETE’S

April Ramirez, assistant general manager at Illegal Pete’s, said the restaurant is transitioning toward more sustainable practices.

“All of our to-go containers are eco-friendly,” Ramirez said. “Our cups, our utensils, our bowls … we’ve gotten big into that.”

Having biodegradable containers means that when they are thrown away, the containers can be easily decomposed by bacteria and other living organisms.

Illegal Pete’s containers are made of sugarcane and break down especially quickly, according to Ramirez. Additionally, there’s a policy of recycling at Illegal Pete’s. Cardboard boxes, empty bottles and other recyclables are kept separate from trash and deposited into marked bins.

“We’re doing at least what we can do, on our side,” Ramirez said.

RED’S SMOKEHOUSE AND TAP ROOM

Around the corner, Red’s Smokehouse and Tap Room offers a different ambiance with a similar mindset. Roughly half of the beers on tap at Red’s are from local breweries.

Scott Miller, manager at Red’s, said that being local is sustainable on a number of levels.

“We’re local first,” Miller said.

Buying local beer not only supports the Tucson economy, but also requires less transportation. This cuts down on transit costs, as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

“And they’re quality beers,” Miller said. “That’s the nice thing about it.”

Though it’s taken some time to incorporate, Red’s does have an established method for recycling. There’s the standard bin in the back, but they also recycle in other ways.

For instance, Red’s, and Pasco Kitchen and Lounge, which operate under the same owner, have a system for reusing their empty liquor bottles.

“It allows us to take a liquor bottle, clean it up, and we’ll use that as our container,” Miller said.

PASCO KITCHEN AND LOUNGE

Just down the street, Pasco Kitchen and Lounge offers house-made cocktails and organic food choices, with a scene typically more laid-back than Red’s.

Here, however, there is an even greater emphasis on sustainability. Most of the items on the menu are harvested locally, and recycling happens on a wider scale.

“We’re doing it because we know it’s the right thing to do,” Miller said.

There’s even a shared garden in the back, with space for composting.

UAPD’s here to help

O

BY BRIAN SEASTONE UAPD CHIEF OF POLICE

n behalf of all of us at the University of Arizona Police Department, welcome to Homecoming 2017! We hope you enjoy all the festivities this week.

The UAPD is here to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to stop and visit with our officers, police aides and community services officers, or to call us at (520) 621-8273 for non-emergency assistance with any questions or concerns.

If you need emergency police, fire or medical assistance, call 911 or use one of the many blue light phone stations on campus so we can get help to you.

Please tell the dispatcher where you are and the nature of the emergency.

We would also like you to call 911 if you see something that doesn’t seem quite right. We depend on the public to let us know if they see anything that looks odd or out of place and we’ll dispatch someone to investigate.

It’s going to be a beautiful fall day in Tucson, which means it’s going to be about 85 degrees this weekend with lots of sun, so wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water to stay properly hydrated.

Also, a reminder that the drinking age in Arizona is 21. If you are under 21, it is illegal to consume or possess alcoholic beverages. We have a great tailgating area on the UA Mall on Saturday where you may consume alcohol if you are of legal age.

You cannot consume alcoholic beverages outside the designated tailgate areas, nor can you walk around with an open container.

The use of medical marijuana is not permitted on any property owned or operated by the UA. Remember, if you are attending the football game, we have instituted a clear bag policy. Backpacks, purses other than a small clutch and other containers are not permitted inside the stadium.

The following are acceptable: • Bags that are clear plastic or vinyl and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12” • One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar) • Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, after being searched • Medically necessary items after proper inspection, including but not limited to oxygen tanks, diabetes kits, allergy pens, etc.

Have a great time this weekend, enjoy our beautiful campus and remember to Bear Down with pride.

There IS a superior intelligence “out there” — and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism.

All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil.

Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/ needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible?

For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:710, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves.

Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15, Psalm 14:1)!

HANGOVER REMEDIES DEBUNKED

How four hangover ‘cures’ stacked up A science reporter field tested activated charcoal, water, a hot shower and hangover shots OPINION

BY BRIAN WINKLER @Brianewinkler

W

ith the imminent homecoming festivities, if you’re anything like me and over 21, it’s likely you’ll have a few adult beverages. However, if a few drinks turns into many, a lovely hangover can be waiting in the morning.

But fret not! There are steps that can be taken to subvert alcohol’s cruel revenge. And out of the goodness of my heart, I assembled a group of test subjects (AKA my friends) to put some of these remedies to the test.

First we must address that timeless inquiry: What causes a hangover?

Surprisingly, medical experts are unable to agree on the actual cause of hangovers, though there are many theories about the contributing factors.

Not surprisingly, the factor most associated with

hangovers is dehydration. Alcohol causes your body to produce more urine and in turn, lowers the fluid levels in your body.

Usually, if you’re drinking alcohol, you’re not drinking a whole lot of water. That, combined with alcohol being a diuretic, almost ensures that after a night of drinking you will wake up dehydrated.

Dehydration is usually associated with the hangover symptoms of dizziness and feeling lightheaded.

Generally, this is really bad for your body, especially over prolonged periods.

Another key player is the by-products your body produces when metabolizing alcohol.

One is acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that your body secretes to break down those sweet, sweet ethanol molecules that make you think you’re good at dancing.

Acetaldehyde is damaging to your brain, pancreas, liver and pretty much every other organ in your body.

Acetaldehyde isn’t the only toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism. There’s also cytochrome, malondialdehyde and a plethora of other lipid peroxide–derived aldehydes that all react with the proteins in our bodies and definitely aren’t chemicals that you would leave unattended with a toddler.

The list goes on and on. But there is one thing we can all agree on, and it’s that hangovers suck.

So what’s one to do when you wake up with your head a’hurting, stomach a’churning and heart a’pounding?

Well, I have some suggestions.

To kick off my research group, we did a control run where we didn’t use any hangover remedies. In other words, we reminded ourselves of how it feels to be hungover. News flash: hangovers are still awful.

We needed to make sure that the alcohol we drank would end with us being sufficiently hungover. What better way than with malt liquor and Four Loko?

We each drank half of a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor, then poured a Four Loko into the bottle until we had a barely palatable blend of crappy, cheap alcohol.

Then, we drank all of it.

Let me tell you, 10 times out of 10, this WILL give you a hangover.

For round two, we each picked our remedies and once again set out drinking beverages that invoked the feeling of choking down battery acid. Here’s the breakdown:

REMEDIES FROM PAGE 27

4. Those Hangover Shot Things

1. Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is highly absorbent, having a surface area of 3,000 square meters per gram. This makes it a perfect candidate to soak up all those nasty toxins that alcohol produces.

I had the subject take four 280 milligram capsules of the stuff both before drinking and after waking up in the morning.

This one worked surprising well! My friend, I mean, the test subject, felt pretty alright the next day. They found this rather surprising, though not as surprising as how dark 2,240 milligrams of activated charcoal made their bowel movements.

Overall, I’d chalk this us up to a plausible hangover solution.

2. Good Ole Water and Ibuprofen

The test subject for this one was none other than yours truly. Honestly, I felt like I couldn’t drink enough water to feel hydrated again.

I immediately drank three, 16-ounce bottles of water upon waking up.

This solution mostly felt like my normal morning routine when I wake up during the Tucson summers. I don’t know if I would go so far as to say that this is a remedy, but it was certainly better than not drinking three bottles of water.

3. A Hot Shower

I was skeptical of this one at first, but the test subject insisted that this always works for them. The theory behind it is that the heat makes your body release all those nasty toxins and the water has a refreshing effect on the hungover psyche.

I couldn’t find much (or any) research supporting this one. But the test subject reported that it definitely worked, which makes you wonder how much of these remedies only work on an individual basis.

You know what I’m talking about, those little bottles that look like 5-hour energy shots that they sell at the check-out of liquor stores.

The idea is that you take the shot before a night of drinking and it completely prevents you from feeling hungover the next day.

Test subject’s report: phony baloney.

But this could be more of a testament to the hangover’s cause than the shot’s ability to cure it. Seriously, I don’t understand why anyone drinks Four Loko, ever.

There are dozens of other tricks that claim to be hangover cures. Unfortunately for you, I don’t have that many friends, but feel free to try them! They just might be winners! But maybe not.

If you’re looking for an absolute hangover buster, maybe just don’t drink so much?

Where are they now?

BY MAX COHEN @maxcohen_dw

The University of Arizona had legendary teams in the 1980s and 1990s. The Wildcats glory era started with a Fiesta Bowl appearance in 1979, continued with three bowl appearances in the ‘80s and six bowl appearances in the ‘90s. The ‘Cats went 5-4-1 during that span and were led by incredible defenses, highlighted

by Dick Tomey’s Desert Swarm in 1992. Several of the biggest names in that era went on to have solid NFL careers, both on the field and as coaches. Those players include: Ricky Hunley, Chuck Cecil, Tedy Bruschi, Lance Briggs and Ortege Jenkins.

RICKY HUNLEY

Hunley, linebacker, played for the ‘Cats from 1980–1983. He was a consensus All-American in ‘82 and ‘83, set the school record for tackles with 566, was the Pac10 Defensive Player of the Year and was named to First-Team All-Pac-10 three times. Hunley was the seventh overall draft pick in 1984 by the Cincinnati Bengals but forced his way out and ultimately ended up with the Denver Broncos and remains the highest draft pick in Arizona football history, third overall in the ‘84 draft.

He went on to play for the Phoenix Cardinals and Los Angeles Raiders, before being elected as the NFL executive vice president.

BY MAX COHEN @maxcohen_dw

Hunley began his coaching career with USC, before moving to the University of Missouri and wrapping up his collegiate tour with Florida. Transitioning to the NFL in 2002 with the NFL Minority Fellowship Coaching Program, Hunley started as a defensive line coach for the Redskins, before moving to Cincinnati to coach under Marvin Lewis.

He also held a position on the Black Coaches Association board of directors. He is currently working as an account executive at Outfront Media in the Los Angeles area, according to his LinkedIn profile.

CHUCK CECIL

Chuck Cecil was one of the best defenders in Arizona history.

He walked on as a freshman but graduated as the consensus Pac10 and All-American Defensive Player of the Year in 1987. He holds the school record for interceptions in a career, with 21, as well as the school record for interceptions in a game against Stanford, with four.

He is best known for his interception returned 100-yards for a touchdown to seal the win against ASU in 1986.

Off the field, Cecil was a three-time Pac-10 All-Academic selection and culminated his education as a recipient of the NCAA VI Award, one of the nation’s top scholar-athlete accolades. He was also named Arizona’s male winner of the Pac10 Conference Medal, according

STAN LIU/ARIZONA ATHLETICS

FORMER ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALL player Chuck Cecil.

to Arizona Athletics.

Cecil was drafted 89th overall by the Packers in 1988. Possibly the hardest hitter in NFL history, Cecil played seven seasons before having to retire due to concussions. He was featured in an issue of Sports Illustrated, which raised questions as to whether Cecil was actually too vicious for the NFL. He was hired in 2001 by the Tennessee Titans and head coach Jeff Fischer as a defensive assistant and qualitycontrol coach.

He coached various position

groups before being named defensive coordinator of the Titans in 2009. That position lasted until Fischer was fired by the Titans, but Cecil followed Fischer to St. Louis, and then to Los Angeles as the Rams Secondary Coach.

He remained in that position for five seasons. Cecil was hired by current UA head coach Rich Rodriguez this past summer as the director of player development, a non-coaching position.

TEDY BRUSCHI

Tedy Bruschi is arguably the best linebacker to ever play at Arizona if you account for pro success as well. He was part of the team that created the most famous moniker for a college defensive unit in history, the Desert Swarm.

The start of his career was riddled with injuries, but after red-shirting his freshman year and transitioning to the defensive line from outside linebacker, he was named to First-Team AllPac-10, and was a Second-Team

Arizona royalty hasn’t stopped cheering on ‘Cats

BY SYRENA TRACY @syrena_tracy

Certain restrictions apply.

2013 was a year where the cheerleading and mascots were in the spotlight of Homecoming royalty at the University of Arizona. UA cheerleader Courtney Broome won Homecoming king, alongside Homecoming queen Alexis Del Castillo, who was Wilma at the time.

Broome continues to find himself standing on the sideline to cheer on the Arizona Wildcats, but this time as an assistant coach.

Graduating from the UA as a psychology major, Broome was a four-year member of the cheerleading team. According to Broome, the Arizona cheer team at the time was a sport that most people didn’t recognize until Broome put on the royal crown.

“My experience winning Homecoming king was great,” Broome said. “It definitely helped me elevate cheerleading more into the spotlight and got more people to try out.”

Other cheerleaders in the past ran on the Homecoming Court, but Broome was the first male cheerleader to win the royal title.

“I thought it was a great experience and a huge deal for the cheer team,” Broome said. “We [the cheer team] have always had people come up on the Homecoming Court, but it was a huge deal when I won.”

Being named Homecoming king gave Broome the opportunity to meet new people and expand his network outside

of cheer. After winning, the team posted a video from the 2014 tryouts where Broome stated he was Homecoming king, which caught student’s interest.

Broome had always had a leadership role on the team, and during his final year as a Wildcat, he was named captain.

Broome’s experience as a cheerleader was filled with many memories, including running out of the football tunnel with the giant “A” flag.

“It was the most exhilarating feeling and very memorable to look out at the stadium.

But Homecoming was always such a big deal for [cheer] because the alumni come back and we always wanted to make them proud,” Broome said. “It will always be a special day.”

The UA alum is currently an assistant coach for the cheerleading team and is able to mentor the current male cheerleaders on the team. Broome focuses mainly on teaching correct techniques and making sure the team maintains its traditional values.

“I am able to provide a leadership role and give them a positive way to do some of the traditions and help out with a lot of the techniques and be a mentor to the guys on the team,” Broome said. “I really like to make sure we establish a culture. I try to remind them how much of a privilege it is to be a cheerleader and go on these trips and experience games, including football and basketball.”

Broome and the cheerleading team will be cheering on the sidelines for the Arizona Wildcats during Homecoming Weekend.

Down memory lane: ‘Revenge of the Nerds’

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

As the years go by and memories fade, all that is left are artifacts and keepsakes that rattle the brain enough to conjure up emotions.

Then you remember “Revenge of the Nerds,” a hit movie filmed at the University of Arizona. The movie ranks in the top 100 all-time comedies, according to Bravo, and hosts a score of 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It is as classic of a slap-stick comedy as they come.

The premise of the movie was simple: A couple geeky freshman bearing their pocket protectors and thicklensed glasses, Lewis Skolnick and Gilbert Lowell, travel to Adams College to begin their collegiate careers. As it goes, the Adams football team, the Atoms, of whom most belong to the fraternity Alpha Beta, burn their house down at a party and force the freshman who live in Cochise Hall to move into a gym temporarily. The burned-down house is what stands as the current Beta Theta Pi house off of University.

The freshman relocate temporarily to a gymnasium, you know it as Bear Down Gym. After a series of attempts to join a fraternity, several of the nerds are hazed and shamed, only to join together and form the Lamda Lamda Lamda fraternity, otherwise known as the Tri-Lambs. The nerds are diverse and play up to the stereotype of taking down the man. Of course, it is a movie based on pranks and subsequent conquering of the Alpha Betas in the name of equality, a truly uplifting movie “Animal House” style. However, it is

A UA favorite since the 1930’s

IMDB

JOHN GOODMAN, DONALD GIBB, Ted McGinley and Matt Salinger in “Revenge of the Nerds” (1984).

their battles with the Greek council that make the nuances of this movie legendary, well that and their location here at Arizona.

The Tri-Lambs lived at 931 N. Fifth Ave., now known as the Chapel of Awareness, which hosts monthly meetings of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

Quite the turnaround for a site that was depicted for crazy parties featuring weed and Michael Jackson music in the film.

Their former home, Bear Down Gym, is now a resource center. It used to be a 300-seat, multi-purpose arena and home to the men’s basketball team (women

didn’t have an official NCAA team until 1972-73) until 1973, when McKale Center was built. Currently, the gym is host to the Office of International Admissions, Colleges of Letters, Arts and Science Academic Advising Center and the Think Tank. It is no longer a cot-filled gym filled with the campus’ intelectually excelling but socially undesired. Plans to renovate and re-institute the gym are in the works, expected to become the Bear Down Success District as of now.

Arizona Stadium, home to the Adams Atoms football team, has been renovated in some areas, like the Lowell-Stevens Facility, and more renovations are expected in the next two years. In one of the more hilarious scenes in the movie, the nerds steal liquid heat and pour it all over the jocks of the football players before they had practice. It has not been determined if jock sharing was, in fact, a thing back then as indicated in the movie. Nevertheless, a giant pile of jocks is sitting in the former football locker room located in McKale Center, doused in liquid heat, and in the next scene the football players run off the field in excruciating pain back to the locker room. As a side note, if you’ve ever seen Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez give a post-game victory speech, it sounds a lot like John Goodman’s character as head coach of the Atoms.

The entrance off University Bouelvard toward Old Main was also replaced during the film to say Adams College. A lot of schools have been involved in Hollywood, such as “Road Trip,” “Old School” and “Accepted,” but few are as iconic as “Revenge of the Nerds,” a true classic like the school it was filmed on.

ARIZONA RUNNING BACK NICK Wilson gets tackled by Washington State players at Arizona Stadium during the Wildcats’ 42-45 loss on Oct. 24, 2015. With a win on Saturday, the Wildcats would be bowl-eligible after missing out on post-season the year prior.

Happy Homecoming?

Cougars looking to delay bowl bid for Wildcats

BY NATHAN SKINNER @CaneDude08

It’s been a long, long time since the Washington State Cougars could realistically dream of Pasadena. In fact, most don’t remember the Cougs’ last Rose Bowl appearance, which happened in 2003. Mike Leach has done what many thought was impossible: He has brought elite football back to the Palouse.

Washington State is one of the nation’s most explosive teams, averaging 359.8 passing yards per game. While it is expected that any signal-caller that plays in an Air Raid system will put up eye-popping numbers, Luke Falk isn’t a system quarterback. Falk can make every throw required of him; he is far and away the best quarterback Leach has had at Washington State. Unlike other Leach disciples, Falk has an NFL future. His combination of arm talent and accuracy will help him find a spot on a roster.

With Falk filling the air with footballs, it is no surprise that the Cougars receiving corps is one of the most prolific units in the country. Seven Wazzu players have caught at least 20 passes, and four have 30 receptions or more. Leading passcatcher James Williams has recorded 48 receptions this season, not a bad haul from a tailback. Tavares Martin Jr. lives in the endzone; the junior leads the team in touchdowns with seven. Martin is a speedster that can get behind a defense.

Look for opposing cornerbacks to receive additional help from the safeties.

Washington State’s rushing attack is utilized as a change of pace. The

Cougars won’t line up and manhandle opposing defenses. Leading rusher Jamal Morrow averages 7.4 yards per carry but has only carried the ball 56 times this year. Williams is the second leading rusher, averaging 4.7 yards per attempt. Opposing defenses that ignore the tailbacks do so at their own peril,.

Washington State is a better rushing team than they’ve been in the past.

Senior tackle Cole Madison leads what is an underrated Cougar offensive line.

Madison is joined by tackle Andre Dillard and guards Cody O’Connell and Robert Valencia. Center Frederick Mauigoa is the man who must identify defensive shifts; he will also have to make sure his shotgun snaps are consistently accurate.

Defensive coordinator Alex Grinch may not get a ton of publicity, but he is one of the rising stars of the coaching profession. Grinch has taken a unit that was one of the nation’s worst prior to his arrival and shaped it into a formidable group.

Washington State is ranked No. 7 in the country in total defense, allowing 274 yards per contest. The Cougs are extremely stingy; opponents average around 19 points per game. Safety Jalen Thompson leads what is a physical, experienced unit. Thompson has inherited the mantle of leadership after the Cougars lost linebacker Peyton Pelluer. Pelluer was the Cougs’ leading tackler last season; he has only participated in three games this year.

Thompson leads the team in tackles with 49.

CHICAGO BEARS OUTSIDE LINEBACKER Lance Briggs (55) smiles as he runs into the end zone after his interception for a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the second half of their game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, on Oct. 7, 2012.

PAST PLAYERS FROM PAGE 31

All-American selection.

He finished his career as a two-time AllAmerican, three-time member of the AllPac-10 Team and tied the NCAA Division I record for sacks, with 52. He also won the Morris Trophy, which is awarded to the Pac-10’s best defensive lineman.

Brushi was drafted by the Patriots with the 86th overall pick. He spent his entire career in New England, winning three Super Bowls, being selected to the 2004 Pro Bowl and being named Second-Team AllPro twice. In 2005, Bruschi announced he would sit out the season due to a stroke he suffered, but he ended up playing in nine games.

Bruschi retired from the NFL in 2009 and joined ESPN as an analyst, where he could be seen singing Bear Down on air. He ran the Boston Marathon in 2012 and 2014.

Bruschi reveres his time at Arizona and New England and points to Dick Tomey and Bill Belichick as men who helped mold who he is today.

LANCE BRIGGS

Lance Briggs played for the Wildcats from 1999-2002. He was named to the All-Pac-10 First Team in 2001 and 2002. He finished his career with 308 tackles and 36 tackles for losses, 10.5 sacks, three interceptions and five fumbles.

Briggs was drafted by the Bears with the 68th overall pick. He played all 12 seasons of his NFL career with the Bears, finishing with 1,175 tackles, 16 interceptions and 15 career sacks before retiring in 2015. Briggs played in seven consecutive Pro Bowls, was named First-Team All-Pro in 2005 and Second-Team All-Pro twice.

Briggs revealed in March that he suffers

from symptoms similar to CTE. There is no way of testing whether someone who is alive has CTE, but Briggs has made it his mission to bring awareness to the dangers of playing football and the severity of head injuries.

“CTE affects guys in a different way, and you start seeing it even in the practice of football,” Briggs said in the video outside of Soldier Field to Sports Illustrated. “You get worried. I get concerned for myself.

And even though I’ve never had any suicidal thoughts or anything like that, for it to happen to some great men, and great football players, I know that I can’t separate myself from that crowd.”

ORTEGE JENKINS

Ortege Jenkins is remembered in Tucson for one of the most spectacular plays in an Arizona uniform. He hurdled three Washington Husky defenders on the goal line with the clock showing zeros to take the lead and win the game. That play is known as the Leap by the Lake.

Jenkins played at the UA from 1997 to 2000. He also played basketball in 1997.

He signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2001 as an undrafted free agent, but he was subsequently cut. He is currently the owner and operator of 1 Body Strength and Conditioning Gym in Long Beach, California. It has a five-star rating on Yelp.

“Over the past four years, I have been dedicated to independent personal training, working with a variety of clients ranging from everyday working women and men, children, to some of the toplevel professional NBA athletes, which include Jason Terry, Houston Rockets; Mason Plummlee, Portland Trial Blazers; Isaiah Thomas, Boston Celtics; Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves; and Miles Plummlee, Milwalkee Bucks,” Ortege Jenkins said via his Linkedin profile.

Moline hurdles over mental blocks

BY TEAGAN RASCHE @teaganrasche

Arizona track and field alumna Georganne Moline became a 2012 Olympian in the 400-meter hurdles during her junior year in college. After a successful collegiate career, Moline continued to run professionally for Nike.

It took four years of persistence and hard work to finally beat her 2013 personal record time of 53.72 seconds. In her fastest 400-meter hurdle race of all time at the 2017 U.S. Nationals, Moline ran an impressive 53.14 seconds.

Moline has always been a champion, winning the state championship in the 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles in her junior and senior year at Thunderbird High School in Phoenix. Following her high school success, she decided to run for Arizona track and field coach Fred Harvey.

Even after Moline’s collegiate career ended, Harvey continues to coach her as she trains in Tucson.

“I just knew [Harvey] truly believed in me, no matter what.

He was going to help get me to where I wanted to go,” Moline said.

She spent her first two years of college battling injuries and not taking her role as an athlete seriously. After a talk with Harvey about changing to a healthier diet in order to heal her body, Moline made major lifestyle changes.

“I went to bed early, I got eight to nine hours of sleep every single day,” Moline said. “I ate the exact same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was just so on top of everything.”

Moline spent the following season undefeated, up until the 2012 NCAA Championships. Due to her knee injury, she never used starting blocks. However, at the NCAA Championships runners were required to use starting blocks, including Moline, who ended up falling due to the blocks.

Looking back now, Moline sees the fall as a blessing. She thought her season was over after that meet, but Harvey pushed her and told her it was time to prepare for the Olympic Trials.

Moline thought that there was no way she was prepared enough for the Olympics, but she went into the finals thinking she had nothing to lose.

Placing second, Moline ended up making the 2012 USA Olympic Team. Moline went on to compete in her first Olympic Games in London, England, where she placed fifth overall.

During her senior year at the UA in 2013, Moline continued to train and ran another personal best of 53.72 seconds. After her time as a Wildcat, Moline decided to continue running professionally and signed a sponsorship deal with Nike.

Moline was unable to beat her personal best of 53.72 for four years, making for the hardest years of her life mentally. Even though she was consistently ranked within the top seven in the world, she wanted to quit her passion of running. Moline decided to quit two years ago and lasted only a week before changing her mind.

“It was a mental battle for me for years,” Moline said. “I know that it was the reason why I wasn’t capable of getting a personal record.”

The pressure became too much for her until she realized

Fellow safety Robert Taylor is also unafraid to sacrifice his body; he is the team’s third leading tackler.

Thompson and Taylor have combined to make five interceptions, proving that they are more than mere run-stoppers. Khalil Tate must be disciplined in the passing game; these two players have good ball skills.

GEORGANNE MOLINE OF THE U.S. takes the final stretch run of a semifinal run for the women’s 400m hurdles at Olympic Stadium, during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England, Aug. 6, 2012. Moline finished second in the semifinal and qualified for the final. This past season, Moline ran her personal best of 53.14 seconds and placed fifth overall at the U.S. Nationals.

that all the pressure she felt was pressure she put on herself.

“I didn’t want to let coach Harvey down, my mom, my sponsors. It was really a hard time for me,” she said.

Moline had convinced herself that she really didn’t love track anymore, but her support system helped her realize love for the sport was still there.

“I’m never going to let anyone down, people that really love me — and love me for who I am — I could never let them down,” Moline said.

This past season, Moline had the race of her life. Not only was it the U.S. Nationals, but it was also the trials to make the World Championship team. She had very strong races in the first two rounds of qualifying and described it as if she was “running on clouds.”

“If you go out there, you’re going to win and if you don’t win, they’re going to have to run record fast to beat you. I’m telling

you you’re ready,” Harvey said to Moline before the finals.

And that was exactly what happened.

Moline ran her personal best of 53.14 seconds and placed fifth overall. That was the fastest women’s 400-meter hurdle race of all time and was the best race of Moline’s life, mentally and physically.

Looking ahead to the 2018 outdoor track season, Moline wants to have the No. 1 time in the world all year long. Her goal is to start the season strong, break 53 seconds and win the U.S. National title. For the indoor season, Moline wants to make the U.S. National team in the 400-meter and compete at the World Indoor Championships.

Moline realized that running is her passion and won’t let her mind get in the way of what she is best at. The pressure is off, and the UA alumna is ready to hit the track once again.

cornerbacks Darrien Molton and Marcellus Pippins.

Hercules Mata’Afa is a load at the defensive end.

The junior pass-rusher has a team high 13 tackles for loss. Mata’Afa also leads the Cougs in sacks, with 6.5. The 2016 All Pac-12 Second Team selection isn’t the only disruptor on the defensive front. Tackle Garrett McBroom has 3.5 tackles for loss; he relies on quickness instead of sheer strength.

Despite not having their leader, the linebacker corps has been a force. Frankie Luvu has thrived in an

expanded role; he is second on the team in sacks with 5.5. Lovu lives in the backfield; his 8.5 tackles for loss is second most on the team. Jahad Woods is another player that has taken advantage of additional playing time. Woods is Wazzu’s second leading tackler, with 38 stops.

The Wildcats will look to continue their win streak during their Homecoming game against the Cougars Saturday, Oct. 28. Kickoff will be at 6:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium.
