Professor recognized as scholar BY KATELYN CALDWELL The Daily Wildcat

Sheila M. Gephart is the third faculty member at the UA in the last five years to be selected nationally as a 2014 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholar. Gephart is an assistant professor at the UA College of Nursing and a prominent member of the NEC Society. NEC is another name for necrotizing enterocolitis, an intestinal disease that affects premature infants and can lead to death. It is considered to be one of the most severe illnesses that a premature baby can contract. The award is going to give

YOUNG WITCHES AND WIZARDS PRACTICE casting spells during professor Minerva McGonagall’s transfiguration class at the Valley of the Moon’s Harry Potter and the Haunted Ruins on Sunday. This theatrical event brings Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry to life for children of all ages, giving them the opportunity to attend classes such as Care of Magical Creatures, taught by Rubeus Hagrid, and Defense Against the Dark Arts with professor Remus Lupin, along with a welcome greeting by Albus Dumbledore himself.

The Daily Wildcat

Calling all “Harry Potter” fans: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry has opened a new campus, and it’s right here in Tucson. For the rest of the month, anyone who has dreamed of receiving their letter of acceptance to the school — delivered by owl, of course — can finally become first-year scholars of magic at the Valley of the Moon’s Harry Potter

and the Haunted Ruins walking theater. Valley of the Moon, located 15 minutes away from campus on Allen Road, was opened in 1932 by George Phar Legler as a mental and spiritual refuge for himself and others. “Legler was a gentle, eccentric old man,” said Zack Jarrett, current Valley of the Moon president. Legler was a Spiritualist who believed in ghosts, fairies and magic and was a friend to children. Through Valley of the Moon,

Legler wanted to teach children how to be kind, loving individuals in order to better their world. Following this central ideal, Legler created an enchanted garden park for local children and gave tours of this imaginative, fantasy land for over 30 years. The tours were free of charge back then, and Legler continued to lead them until his failing health and eyesight forced him to stop. After almost 10 years without tours at Valley of the Moon, a group of teenagers rediscovered

the place they used to visit as children and, with Legler’s guidance, recreated the magical playground of their youth. Since then, Valley of the Moon has been an all-volunteer organization that runs community events once a month and holds special fundraising events in October, always upholding the values and beliefs of Legler, who died in February 1982. One of the traditional events held at Valley of the Moon for

The money being contributed to this election cycle shows just how much some are willing to spend in their pursuit of victory. More than $490 million has been spent on 811,800 political advertisements for state races across the country in 2014, according to the Center for Public Integrity. Arizona came in at seven on the list, with $19.2 million spent on roughly 25,000 ads. One reason for the high spending in Arizona is that there are a few close races, which results in additional spending, according to UA professor Barbara Norrander, who specializes in elections, public opinion and political parties. Many of these contributions come in the form of advertisements sponsored by different types of groups, including political action

Arizona lags in car charging stations BY ZAC BAKER Arizona Sonora News Service

The lack of electric vehicle charging stations along major travel routes in Arizona is hindering sales and functionality of electric cars throughout the state. Without them, drivers are limited to travel within metropolitan areas where stations are more abundant. According to the U.S. Department of Energy website, there are 275 charging locations with 696 charging outlets in Arizona, excluding private stations. Only 11 of those are outside of the greater Tucson and Phoenix metropolitan areas, according to the department’s map. The existing charging stations in the cities frustrate some Arizona residents, said Colleen Crowninshield, manager of the Clean Cities coalition at the Pima Association of Governments. That is one reason why the focus is turning to building stations along highways and roadways between cities, like new stations in Casa Grande, Picacho Peak and on Speedway Boulevard at Interstate 10 in Tucson. “If people don’t see that there’s supplemental charging, they aren’t going to buy an electric vehicle,” Crowninshield said. A major goal of GOe3, a Phoenix-based company that builds charging stations compatible with all EVs, is to link the East and West Coasts of the U.S., their website said. GOe3’s CEO Bruce Brimacombe said production is accelerating. “For the first several years we had people thinking this wasn’t going to happen,” he said. EVs have support beyond clean air initiatives and the corporations that support the industry. Tucson and Phoenix have chapters of the Electric Auto Association, which works to explain the pros and cons of electric vehicle, said Jim Stack, president of the Phoenix chapter. Environmental conditions impact the distance an electric

vehicle can travel. Steep hills to climb and using air conditioning during warm months will eat away at the battery range. That makes travel even within Arizona difficult when there are no charging stations along the way, Stack said. The climb through the mountains to Flagstaff and on to the Grand Canyon would require stops for most EVs, he said. There is one charging station in Flagstaff marked on the Department of Energy’s map. It was built by Tesla Motors , which would enable a Tesla car owner to continue traveling farther north. But drivers of EVs other than Teslas would not be able to charge at that station, one of several Tesla has built throughout the state, Crowninshield said. Other Tesla charging stations are in Gila Bend, Yuma, Quartzsite, Kingman and Holbrook. Crowninshield said

that Tesla is building these stations throughout the nation so that Tesla owners can use their cars for lengthier travel just like any gas-powered automobile. GOe3 CEO Bruce Brimacombe is excited about the economic benefits of having greater electric vehicle infrastructure in Arizona in the future, which could mean more people will travel and spend their money in towns along the way. He also says it will stimulate job growth because of higher demand for EV production and charging stations. But Brimacombe is skeptical about the way the state prioritizes electric vehicles and related infrastructure. He said that Arizona government is maintaining an “antiquated dealer system” that has prevented car companies, most notably Tesla, from selling directly to consumers from their

factory. He said he believes that was a contributing factor in Tesla’s decision to build a huge battery factory in Nevada instead of Tucson, which will ultimately slow the growth of the electric vehicle market and charging stations in Arizona. Even with a shortage of charging stations along state routes in the Arizona, Crowninshield, Brimacombe and Stacks agreed that electric vehicles are the way of the future, and that car companies are supporting it. “Every major auto manufacturer is manufacturing an EV,” and motorcycle maker Harley Davidson also announced plans for an electric model, Crowninshield said. “When Harley Davidson is building an all electric motorcycle, you know it’s here to stay.”

ignoring the comments of the students with whom he was tailgating and declining to comment on the situation afterwards. “Obviously, we encourage any candidate to reach out to young voters, but reaching out to young voters doesn’t mean putting up with offensive, sexist comments — or promoting them,” CDA President Natasha McKenzie said in a press release. Nick Mahon, president of the UA Young Democrats, also admonished Brown. “It was reprehensible that Scott Brown didn’t address the students who were making those comments,” Mahon said. “He should have right then and there stopped and let the students who were saying those sexist comments know that they weren’t acceptable.” Caleb Rhodes, president of the UA College Republicans, said what the students said was unacceptable but could not say whether those in charge could have played a bigger role in preventing such language. “I don’t think language like that is okay, but I don’t know if those people are associated or what their involvement was, so I don’t know what level of control their leadership would have had over that,” Rhodes said. Rhodes also said there was not enough information to speak about Brown’s culpability in the event. “Who knows if he heard it?” Rhodes said. “It was probably loud and chaotic. You know how tailgates are.”

scale provides a risk score that helps health care professionals decide if a baby is at risk or not for NEC. There are 65 different factors that detect NEC, and Gephart went through a process of deciding what the most important factors were. She was also part of an intervention called NEC-Zero. “The whole point is to reduce NEC to zero,” Gephart said. Amy Lynn Kijewski, one of Gephart’s research assistants, has been working with her for the last two years on the NEC research project. Kijewski said Gephart understands where people are in the nursing field, their limitations and struggles and never judges them for it. Kijewski added that Gephart has the ability to work with what she is given and always has positive energy and words of encouragement. “She has taught me the benefit of really looking at your area of passion and trying to leave it better than you found it,” Kijewski said. Kijewski said the award will show the quality of the UA’s facility and quality of education at the university and will attract more students to the various nursing programs offered on campus. She added that the increased funding will also help programs at the college go farther and do more work. “In my opinion, Dr. Gephart is really pushing the nursing program into a national spotlight,” Kijewski said. “She really is trying to make [the] UA known as one of the premier research organization[s].” Necsociety.org is a resource recommended by Gephart to educate individuals about NEC. It is a parent-run, nonprofit advocacy group made up of diverse health care professionals, researchers and families from across the U.S. trying to spread awareness about the condition. “NEC Society is the connection between the parents and the health care and scientific community,” Gephart said.

of behavior would ever occur in either his organization or in the UA College Republicans group. “I’d like to think we at [the] U of A, both the College Republicans and U of A Young Democrats, wouldn’t ever resort to public name-calling like that,” Mahon said. “I truly don’t think that either organization at [the] U of A would.” McKenzie also said this reflects on the Republican party as a whole. “With Republicans struggling to win over young people, and especially young women, it’s truly astounding how out of touch they continue to show themselves to be,” McKenzie said in a press release. Rhodes disagreed, saying it was most likely just a few individuals giving the group a bad name. “If you’ve ever been to any kind of organized event, there’s always a few bad apples,” Rhodes said. “I don’t think you can — regardless of what side they’re on — that you can say that behavior is a good characterization of any organization.” Mahon said he does not think all Republicans think like that, but that the language used was an example of how women are sometimes regarded. “I don’t want to say there’s a one-to-one connection, but that demonstrates a lack of respect for women,” Mahon said.

Community Chatter To what extent are fraternities responsible for the actions of their members?

“I believe at all extents. If they’re part of an organization that is responsible for them for activities in the university, they should hold their members accountable.” — Luis E. Sepulveda, electrical engineering sophomore

“Well, I think that fraternities should hold their members completely responsible for their actions because at this point in time, we’re adults experiencing with adult lifestyles, and I think that it’s not fair to hold the organizations responsible for [an] individual’s actions.”

“I think it depends on what those actions are and if it’s, like, they are affiliated, those kind of actions are affiliated with the fraternity. … But I feel like they should be held responsible for, like, most of it.”

raise their rates during the election season. “Stations aren’t allowed to control which political ads can be aired and which ones can’t, according to federal regulations,” said Art Brooks, the president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association. Federal law says stations must grant their lowest rate for political advertising during the time period beginning 45 days prior to the primary elections and 60 days before general elections to give all candidates the same financial opportunity to have their voice heard. This regulation attempts to ensure that media groups can’t overcharge for political advertising, which would make it more difficult for some candidates with lower funds to advertise. Spending for congressional races continues to rise as each party tries to lock down available seats. Nationally, spending has gone from $1.6 billion on congressional races in 1998, to nearly $3.6 billion spent in 2012 on congressional seats alone, according to the Center for Responsive

those two categories, the industries that have contributed the most to the Barber campaign have been health professionals, lawyers and law firms and public unions. McSally has received her biggest support from the securities and investment, real estate and automotive industries. With both candidates, groups within these various industries have contributed more money to campaigns than their own respective parties, which shows the significant lobbying occurring within the campaign. In the case of Raytheon, which has contributed $2,802,435 nationally to candidates, those receiving support fall on both sides of the aisle, including Barber, who has received $15,930 from Raytheon even though the three candidates Raytheon has given the most to nationally are Republicans. Barber fought against removing various military functions from Arizona, a stance supported by Raytheon. “Spending a large amount on campaigns is always a part of major elections, and that won’t be changing anytime soon,” Norrander said.

Why does alcohol cause erectile dysfunction? And how does it affect women during sex?

A . positive and negative), depending on how much is

Alcohol has many different effects on the body (both

consumed. While a drink or two may relax you, make a potential partner seem more desirable, reduce inhibitions, or get you “in the mood,” too much alcohol can have negative effects on your sexual performance. And here’s a short list of reasons why: 1. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. It inhibits the reflexes, sensations, circulation, and complex physiological processes that need to happen during sexual arousal and orgasm. Simply put, alcohol works against your body’s attempt to have an erection. Women may need more time and more stimulation in order to make it to orgasm after drinking heavily. 2. Alcohol dilates and expands blood vessels. While this is good for getting blood flowing into the penis (causing it to harden), it also allows blood to flow back “out” of the penis, making an erection difficult to maintain. 3. Alcohol is a diuretic. It causes you to eliminate water, leaving your tissues dehydrated and your blood volume lower. While dehydration may not stop an erection – it isn’t going to help either. In women, dehydration can cause vaginal dryness. Ouch! Other symptoms of dehydration are weakness, confusion, headaches, and more. Our bodies just don’t function well when we are too “dry.” William Shakespeare wrote a simple truth about alcohol in Macbeth back in 1623: “It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.” The Bard was a wise man. The trick is to find your “sweet spot”– the point at which you drink a sensible amount to enjoy the positive benefits of alcohol while dodging the downfalls of too much booze. You’ll love Food Day! Free stuff, great ideas! Wednesday, October 22nd from 10am-2pm on the UA Mall.

Twitter’s lawsuit defends privacy BY Chikezie Anachu The Daily Wildcat

“I

t’s our belief that we are entitled under the First Amendment to respond to our users concerns … We should be free to do this in a meaningful way, rather than in broad, inexact ranges.” Twitter dropped a bombshell on the tech world with those sentences. Twitter, summoning the courage to take the road less travelled, has filed suit in federal court against the U.S. government. Delivered in prose that seemed like a closing argument out of a “Suits” episode, Twitter’s case captured everyone’s attention immediately. Perhaps the legal line has finally been drawn in the three-year long war between privacy and the almighty federal government. With its case, Twitter is challenging the restrictions that prevent it from sharing specific information with its users about the number of and nature of government probes. The Big Five — Apple, Amazon, Google, Yahoo and Facebook — participated in negotiations with the federal government that resulted in an agreement that companies would be permitted to give broad answers to consumers. For example, Twitter is permitted to announce that it received between zero and 999 requests for information. But Twitter was not part of those negotiations and doesn’t feel its right to free speech should be restricted and bound by the terms of an agreement it never made. “It will be quite difficult for Twitter to win this one,” professor Derek Bambauer of the James E. Rogers College of Law said. “They not only have to make a tough argument against the Patriot Act but must also show that they have the capacity to bring an action on behalf of their users. One small path Twitter could take would be to argue that the government’s demands are unduly burdensome and require huge resources on the part of Twitter, but the best path would be to pressure Congress into making reforms.” The USA Patriot Act, passed in 2001, was meant to give the U.S. government certain powers to help fight terrorism. In an era when big technology is synonymous with surveillance, expressing oneself online has become something to be feared. These days, a fraternity-party selfie could be the reason one doesn’t land a future job. A wrong tweet can make a career crash. The pitfalls of modern social media are so varied that many have decided to have nothing to do with it at all. But the millions of people who are already hooked on social networks have not. With every message sent electronically, they are at the mercy of a spying government. As Bambauer implies, Congress should be interested in reconciling the Constitution and the powers granted to government under the Patriot Act. The all-powerful Section 215, which allows the government to collect information and perform searches without a warrant or showing probable cause, seems like a good place to begin the discussion. The Bill of Rights doesn’t come with qualifications. The First Amendment doesn’t end with “unless national security is endangered.” And that broad, no-loopholes and no-exceptions list of rights is what established America’s reputation as a land of liberty. We shouldn’t be layering laws on top of those constitutional provisions that completely undermine our basic values as a nation. Twitter is giving the judicial branch a chance to intervene. Maybe the lawsuit will spawn a new wave of pressure and litigation. Perhaps not. What happens next is actually in the hands of the people and their elected representatives. This problem isn’t going to be fixed by one powerful tech company and its lawyers. It will be fixed when American citizens begin to internalize the words of George Washington, that “Government is not reason … it is a force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

We’re splitting our ticket this year The Daily Wildcat editorial board endorses candidates for the 2nd and 3rd Congressional Districts. The editorial board consists of Jacquelyn Oesterblad, Katelyn Kennon, Ethan McSweeney and Joey Fisher.

Martha McSally In Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District, we have a rematch of the 2012 election between Democratic Congressman Ron Barber and Republican Martha McSally, a retired Air Force pilot, which Barber won by a very slim margin. Voters are fortunate to have two fine candidates to choose from in this race. Barber overcame injuries sustained in the deadly attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ life here in 2011 to win election to Congress two years ago. While serving in Congress, Barber has not been afraid to cross the aisle and work with Republicans, something sorely needed during this time of do-nothing partisanship in Washington. McSally blazed trails for women in the military as one of the first female fighter pilots to serve in the Air Force. We would love to see a strong woman with a history of fighting for women’s rights join the GOP ranks. She would also make for a strong advocate in Washington for the military bases in our area that are critical to our economy — Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and Fort Huachuca. Barber has worked hard to defend the thousands of local jobs that come with those two bases. Both candidates lack specifics

on their plans to address issues facing Arizona students — namely student debt and the rising cost of tuition. Barber’s middle-of-theaisle credentials are worthy of applause, but the fact remains that he is a Democrat in a GOP-dominated House of Representatives, and it will likely remain that way for a while. If elected, McSally would hold more sway to push for what Southern Arizona needs on Capitol Hill. We worry about her plans regarding border security, but we still recommend voters choose McSally. — Katelyn Kennon was unable to participate in these endorsements

In Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District, Raúl Grijalva and Gabriela Saucedo Mercer are facing off yet again to decide who will represent Southwestern Arizona in Congress. When voters had a chance to decide between Mercer and Grijalva in 2012, they flocked to Grijalva by a margin of 21 points. We recommend the same decision this time around. Both Mercer and Grijalva are on the far fringes of their parties, and we admit that this gives us pause. Mercer, with her opposition to marriage equality and incendiary comments last year about not wanting Middle Eastern immigrants, whether they come here “legally or illegally,” is way off base. Congressman Grijalva, as co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has taken extreme stands on everything from war in the Middle East to the Keystone Pipeline. But given the demographic make-up of his district, which includes South Tucson, Nogales and four sovereign Native American nations, we believe that Congressman Grijalva represents the interests of his mostly liberal constituents. We are especially heartened by his positions on the DREAM

Act and comprehensive immigration reform, his support for expanding Pell Grants and his attempt to stop the Rosemont Mine by introducing the Southern Arizona Public Land Protection Act. His strong opposition to government spying is also a huge plus. It is Grijalva’s 12 years of experience, combined with a seriousness about the issues that we don’t see in Mercer’s campaign, that leads us to endorse him. — Jacquelyn Oesterblad recused herself from this endorsement — Katelyn Kennon was unable to participate in these endorsements

Your views In response to “Campus religious groups split on same-sex marriage,” by Adriana Espinosa (Oct. 20)

Looks like Mr. Moya is another practicing Catholic who clearly does not understand Church teachings. The Catholic Church only recognizes marriages that have gone through the sacrament of marriage; they do not even consider civil unions (be it man and woman or a same sex couple) to be a valid marriage … ONLY marriages that have gone through the sacrament through the Church. So if the Catholic Church does not even consider marriages outside of the church to be valid, then why should they care about same sex marriage? Any marriage outside of the church is invalid anyways. … — Guest

Mr. Moya is mistaken, marriage existed before organized religion. … Marriage in the United States is a civil process. A couple gets a marriage license from the State, they are united by a person recognized by the State who signs and files the marriage certificate with the State and the marriage is legal. Mr. Moya is confusing the religious rite of Holy Matrimony with the civil process of marriage, not the same things. — Lamont Williams

As a Latter Day Saint (Mormon) I am disgusted by the ignorant views of same sex marriage by [others] who share my religion. I support same sex marriage [100 percent]. Our church believes that we are all God’s children and he loves us ALL. Despite our actions or sexual orientation. “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” lays the foundation for our belief in marriage, true, but did God not give us the ability to choose? Does he not want us all to be happy? Let others choose whom they should marry, and let God decide if it is right or wrong. Is it a sin? Both God and the Bible say yes. Is it a medical disorder? You can’t be serious. Do you even realize that our church (Mormon Church) accepts all sexual orientations? Thousands of our members identify as gay or lesbian but do not act on their sexual desires. Its sad that the most uneducated church members end up as [spokesmen] for our church. — Kyle Preston

POLICE BEAT BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

Plants on strike

A resident assistant reported that for three weeks during the early morning hours, plants located outside the main office of La Aldea graduate housing complex had been removed from their planters and thrown on the floor. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to La Aldea on Oct. 12 in reference to suspicious activity. Upon arrival, the officer met with an RA outside the main office. The officer noted a plant had been uprooted and left thrown on the concrete near the front entry point of the complex. The RA informed the officer that every Saturday for three weeks, the plants from the two large planters in front of the office had been uprooted and thrown on the concrete. He also noted that the maintenance crews would replant them only for the incidents to continue. The RA said he had no further information regarding motive or suspects.

iFound You

Two men with no affiliation to the UA were arrested for burglary of the second degree on Oct. 12 at Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. A UAPD officer responded to the underpass at Ninth Street and Fourth Avenue in reference to several members of the fraternity who were following two men who the fraternity members claimed burglarized their house. One of the men was holding a blue backpack that he said he found. One of the fraternity members said the backpack belonged to him, however. The man holding the backpack was detained and put into handcuffs. At this time, another officer arrived on the scene and the man was placed in the officer’s car. The individual was informed as to why he was being detained. Prior to being placed in the vehicle, the officer asked if the man had any weapons on his person. The man responded that he had a razor blade in his back pocket. The officer obtained permission to search the man. The officer was unable to locate the razor blade, but found a set of keys the man said he found. The officer also found a small black pipe with burnt residue in the man’s pocket. The second officer caught up to the second man, who was still walking away, and detained him. The man said he was not sure what was going on, but that he had a white phone on him that the first man had given him. The officer asked for the phone, aware that the owner of the backpack said his iPhone was missing. The fraternity member identified the phone as his by showing the officer personal information he had stored in it. The student informed the officer that the backpack had been in the break room of the fraternity and contained various expensive items, such as a MacBook, and an iPhone. The student told the officer he believed his friends had been playing a joke on him until he used an app to locate his phone and saw it was near Seventh Street and Fourth Avenue. He and his fraternity brothers got in a car and began to follow the path of the iPhone on the app. The two men were read their Miranda rights, and, after a records checks, it was found they both had warrants out for their arrests. The warrants were confirmed and served and the individuals were arrested.

Making art from unwanted goods BY KEVIN C. REAGAN The Daily Wildcat

eg Harper makes her art the same way she lives her life: by putting nature first. The proud tree-hugger of Mesa, has been painting vibrant, colorful portraits for over 20 years. Frequently using animals such as coyotes, owls and donkeys as subjects, Harper decided five years ago to start painting only on recycled materials. Harper rummages through yard sales in search of items she can manipulate into serving as unique canvases for her ebullient paintings. Washing machine lids, guitar cases and old picture frames are all cleaned, polished and transformed by Harper to fit her art. “I think canvases are overrated,” Harper said. “I just wanted to do something different.” A great majority of Harper’s pieces are painted on scrap pieces of tin metal, which Harper said she usually finds in old chicken coops. According to Harper, painting on recycled materials can be more cost-effective than buying expensive art supplies. She added that her customers can also save money on not having to buy additional frames, as most of her works come prepared and ready to hang on the wall. Having already sold over 700 paintings across the country, Harper gets many requests from clients wanting her to paint portraits of their pets. Harper says her preference for painting animals is because of the greater margin of error that is permitted in comparison to painting a human.

KEVIN REAGAN/THE DAILY WILDCAT

SAMPLES OF MEG HARPER’S work on display at the Southern Arizona Arts Cultural Alliance’s Fine Art & Jazz festival on Sunday. Harper uses recycled materials such as washing machine lids and tin metal to construct her many portraits of desert wildlife.

“We have such a stigma to how a human face should look,” Harper said. “With an animal, I have more wiggle room.” The eyes of the animal are a main focus for Harper’s paintings, as she said she believes it is the eyes that communicate what the animal cannot verbally express. Dressed in rugged cowboy boots

and hat at this past weekend’s Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance’s Fine Art & Jazz festival, it’s hard to believe Harper is a native New Yorker. She first discovered art when doodling with magic markers as a child, but did not begin developing her craft until her sophomore year at the State University of New York at Cortland.

Around this same time is when Harper first ventured out west to visit a family member and immediately fell in love with the majesty of the desert landscape. Since then, she has used the Arizona sunlight to broaden the color spectrum of her work. Swirls of red, yellow, orange and purple all fill Harper’s portraits, reflecting the

natural beauty of an Arizona sunset. Harper said she likes to use symbolism when naming her artwork. The lid of a second-hand trunk with the portrait of a giraffe painted on the surface is titled “Limitless Expansion,” which is appropriate as the giraffe’s grand size permits opportunities for exploration the same way a trunk or suitcase suggests adventure and travel. “Shine in the Moonlight,” “Thinking of Eve” and “Can’t Fence Me In” are all other titles of Harper’s work she had on display at St. Philip’s Plaza on River Road for the weekend festival. The last title pertains to a portrait of a cow shown within the confines of a Southwestern-type ranch. “You can let go of your fences whenever you want,” Harper said when explaining the deeper, philosophical meanings of her work. Not all of Harper’s work has such cathartic undertones, as she also sells elaborate, wooden purses made from old cigar boxes. Using tiny knick-knacks, fuzzy felt and cartoon cut-outs to decorate the interior of the purses, Harper said these products allow her to be a little craftier. She also uses materials like unwanted belts as purse straps; Harper said these purses are very durable and fulfill her mission in bringing attention to the value of resourcefulness. “I want to help the planet by making people more conscious,” Harper said. — Follow Kevin Reagan @KevinReaganUA

Saturated in melodrama, Reitman lacks in subtleties BY ALEX GUYTON The Daily Wildcat

bolted out of my seat as soon as the credits of “Men, Women & Children” started to roll; I couldn’t get out of the theater soon enough. I was so angry that I could spit. I was angry the film had wasted two hours of my time, and it had the gall to believe that it was saying something eye-opening and worthwhile about the ubiquity of technology in everyday life. Of all things, the film opens with Emma Thompson narrating over images of the Voyager space probe traveling through space. Thompson tells the audience Voyager is an ark, containing the most representative sights and sounds of Earth for extraterrestrials that come across it. This is technology as it was intended, a universal mode of communication to foster positive relations between others. Without missing a beat, we are on Earth with Thompson telling us that Don Truby (Adam Sandler) has been forced to watch online pornography on his teenage son’s computer because his own computer is too infested with porn-site malware. The rest of the characters in this unwieldy ensemble of a cast are introduced in this same way, with Thompson instructing us what they’re thinking and in what way technology has screwed them up. These introductions are emblematic of the film’s insistence on hitting things on the head. The caricatured laundry list of parent-and-child couplings include: Don and Helen Truby (Rosemarie DeWitt), a husband and wife whose sex life and marriage are both virtually nonexistent; Chris Truby (Travis Tope), their son, whose obsession with online pornography has rendered him unable to be aroused by normal means; Joan Clint (Judy Greer), who sells provocative photos of her underage daughter Hannah Clint through a “modeling” website; Patricia Beltmeyer (Jennifer Garner), who tracks and scans the phone and computer used by her daughter Brandy Beltmeyer (Kaitlyn Dever); Allison Doss (Elena Kampouris), who visits blogs that encourage eating disorders; Tim Mooney (Ansel Elgort), a previous high school star running back who has taken up online gaming to fill the void of his distant father, Kent Mooney (Dean Norris).

HAUNTED RUINS PARAMOUNT PICTURES

That unnecessarily lengthy description sums it up succinctly. By my count, the film must juggle 10 characters and it doesn’t do so effectively. It drops some of them, only to pick them back up once they’ve been forgotten about. “Men, Women & Children” is too tone deaf to realize that the minutia and subtleties abounding in our modern day-to-day life are the real stories. Affairs and marriages falling apart are a dime a dozen in movies; the only way this story tells it differently is that the husband and wife use the Internet to facilitate their cheating. However, a husband and wife sitting in bed, opting to play “Words With Friends” with each other instead of holding a conversation, is a powerful image unique to this time and place. It’s only given half of a minute of screen time. I am not so much concerned with a girl’s bulimia, something addressed time and time again, as I am with her texting nasty things to her best friend about the school floozy they’re both having a conversation with directly in front of them. The dynamic between how much personal space a parent

allows their kid has changed with the advent of perpetual communication, yet the film addresses this by making the mom so obsessive and over the top with policing her daughter that her character almost has no basis in reality. I firmly believe there’s something to be said about this generation, about the frustrations of trying to connect — no pun intended — with another person on an emotional, intimate level with the abundance of communication technologies. I’ve certainly experienced them, as I’m sure many others have. There is something to be said, but “Men, Women & Children” lacks the tact and insight to muster anything other than shouting the insultingly obvious. It’s a privilege to be able to tell a story on the big screen for millions to see, and the filmmakers here grossly misused this privilege.

UA women’s tennis head coach Vicky Maes was not impressed after the Arizona women’s tennis team finished its first tournament of the fall season two weeks ago. “While I was somewhat disappointed in our results at the Fall Invitational, it was good to see where we are and what we need to focus on in the next three months,” Maes said. The Wildcats bounced back at the ITA Southwest Regional Championships in San Diego. The team sent three athletes to the tournament: junior Shayne Austin, freshman Hanna Sohn and sophomore Lauren Marker. Overall, Arizona posted a

5-4 record, and all three of the athletes had victories in main draw play. In doubles play, Marker and Sohn made it all the way to the Round of 16, dropping an 8-6 affair to Pepperdine’s junior Michaela Capannolo and junior Danielle Feneridis. No. 58-ranked and sixth-seeded Marker advanced to the Round of 16, eventually falling to UCLA senior Kaitlin Ray. Sohn and Austin finished with a win before being eliminated in the Round of 16 and Round of 32, respectively. On the other side of play, Arizona men’s tennis was led by junior transfer Jason Jaruvang, who recorded three straight wins in consolation play after losing in the opening round

six games in a row to close out the regular season.

at the ITA Southwest Regional Championships. Jaruvang improved to 6-2 in singles play this fall. Senior Naoki Takeda advanced all the way to the round of 32 before dropping a match to USC junior Max de Vroome 64, 6-1. In doubles play of the tournament, junior Matt Dunn and Jaruvang fell short of a quarterfinal appearance, falling to UCLA sophomore Mackenzie McDonald and freshman Martin Redlicki 8-1 in the Round of 16. Going into this tournament, Arizona men’s tennis head coach Tad Berkowitz boasted about the competition that Arizona would be playing in the tournament. “This will be a great test for us, considering our region is

the toughest in the country,” Berkowitz said in a press release. “This event gives our guys a great opportunity to compete with some of the best players in all of Division I tennis.” Overall, both teams were able to fight through tough matches facing some of the best players in both competitions. Up next, the men will head to the UNLV Invitational in Las Vegas on Oct. 31. The women will travel to Northridge, Calif., to face a tournament hosted by California State Northridge on Friday.

Running Backs

Rodriguez said he doesn’t know yet about the statuses of senior running back Terris Jones-Grigsby, who left the USC game early, and freshman running back Nick Wilson, who missed it. In their stead, third-string junior running back Jared Baker ran for 43 yards on 12 carries, caught four passes for 50 yards and scored three touchdowns against USC. “I think you have to be deep at tailback, particularly the way our schedule is going to be set up the next six weeks,” Rodriguez said. After their second and final bye week, the Wildcats will now play

It’s been a wild year for the Pac12, including the apparent homefield disadvantage teams have. Road teams are 16-7 in Pac-12 games. “I wouldn’t say it’s easier; it’s still tough to win on the road, but it’s definitely doable,” Tevis said. “You can tell just this year, if you come in with the right mindset, it’s definitely doable.” Rodriguez said better quarterbacks lead to more road wins. “It used to be home-field advantage was a big deal, and it’s still a advantage in some respects, but with the quality of play of quarterbacks in college football now, a so called ‘upset’ is no longer prevented,” Rodriguez said.

Celebrity picker declines to pick

ESPN College GameDay’s guest pickers usually makes waves, and MLB legend Ken Griffey Jr. was no different. Griffey Jr., the father of UA sophomore receiver Trey Griffey and UA women’s basketball playerTaryn Griffey, declined to pick the ASU and Stanford game. “I wish they’d both lose,” Griffey Jr. said. Griffey Jr. said he did not want to pick another Pac-12 team with his

This week: Saturday at No. 19 Utah (5-1, 2-1) 2. No. 15 Arizona (5-1, 2-1) The Wildcats own the best win of any Pac-12 team, so they stay near the top. Fun fact: With a No. 2 ranking in the Preseason Coaches Basketball Poll, Arizona has the highest-ranked average of football and men’s basketball teams. Credit goes to the ZonaZoo for figuring that out; I’m not a math major. Last week: First, Bye This week: Saturday at Washington State (2-5, 1-3) 3. No. 19 Utah (5-1, 2-1) This is where the South gets fuzzy. The Utes get third because they beat UCLA in Los Angeles, which beat ASU on the road. The Utes face a death-row schedule of USC, ASU and Oregon in the next three weeks, though. Last week: Third, W at Oregon State 29-23 2OT This week: Saturday vs. USC (5-2, 4-1) 4. UCLA (5-2, 2-2) The Bruins were once thought to be a playoff contender but have dropped out of the rankings. However, the South is so cannibalistic, they have a good chance to win the division. Last week: Fourth, W at California 36-34 This week: Saturday at Colorado (2-5, 0-4)

Home-Field Disadvantage opportunities to get picks,” UA senior safety Jared Tevis said. “I look at everything as an opportunity, so with a team that throws that much, it’s an opportunity for us to make plays and get interceptions.” While Arizona has usually been a run-first team under Rodriguez, Solomon has attempted 206 passes this year. Rodriguez said he has done a good job of taking what the defense gives him. “We’re not really counting [his attempts], and we try to achieve balance, but we don’t want to force balance,” Rodriguez said.

Arizona ties so strong. “That’s his decision, but he’s big on Arizona right now, me being here, my sister being here, so he’s all about Arizona,” Trey Griffey said.

Hollywood Nights

Another game, another night kickoff for the Wildcats. On Monday, the Pac-12 announced that Arizona’s matchup at UCLA next week will be at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. That is Arizona’s seventh

night game. This week’s game at Washington State is the first afternoon game, kicking off at 3 p.m.on the Pac-12 Networks. Game times for the Colorado, Washington and Utah games have yet to be announced. The Black Friday game against ASU will start at 1:30 p.m.

ARIZONA JUNIOR CENTER Kaleb Tarczewski (35) tries to shoot over Arizona freshman center Dusan Ristic (14) during the red team’s 53-46 win against the blue team during Arizona’s RedBlue Game in McKale Center on Saturday. Tarczewski and Ristic have the potential to provide 14 formidable feet of size for the Wildcats down low.

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

With about 14 feet of center, Arizona men’s basketball looks like it’s deep at the five. After the Red-Blue Game, Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller praised both junior center Kaleb Tarczewski and freshman center Dusan Ristic. “Kaleb’s our most improved player,” Miller said. “You didn’t really see it [Saturday], but in 10 practices, he might be our best player by how consistent he’s played. He’s a remarkable defensive player.” Tarczewski scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds in 21 minutes on Saturday in the RedBlue scrimmage. Ristic tallied 14 points to go with two rebounds, two steals and a block in 18 minutes, and was 7-for-8 from the field. “Dusan is a great basketball player,” Tarczewski said. “He’s a big dude with long arms, and he’s really skilled. It’s really nice to be able to play against him every day.” Ristic, like Tarczewski, is listed at 7 feet and 245 pounds. He is from

Novi Sad, Serbia. Tarczewski said Ristic brings a crafty European style, and practicing against him and junior forward Brandon Ashley will really help the junior center’s game. “I think he’s going to be able to come in and help this team in ways that we really haven’t had before,” Tarczewski said. “Adding that second 7-footer — and obviously he’s a great basketball player — is really going to help us out.” Miller said the coaching staff is excited about Ristic’s potential, and he just needs to catch up defensively. “Dusan is ahead of the game on offense,” Miller said. “He has tremendous hands, he has a knowledge of how to score and free throw shooting, jump shots, hooks — he’s ahead of where you see normal frontcourt players.”

Depth Discussion

With five potential NBA draft picks, how many Wildcats will play is an early topic of discussion. “I would be shocked if we didn’t have four or five players in double

figures,” Miller said. “If we’re clicking, that’s how our offense should look.” Miller said he isn’t sure yet how deep the Wildcats’ rotation will be, and that they might rotate the starting lineup. “I think we can play pretty much eight to nine guys and that’s why it’s so competitive in practice, because it is tough to get 40 minutes in for eight to nine guys,” UA senior point guard T.J. McConnell said. “We could go small, we could go big.”

Top Cats

No wonder fans lined up at 5 a.m. to get into the Red-Blue Game. Last week, Arizona was selected as the No. 2 team in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Second is Arizona’s highest preseason ranking since 2002, when the UA was No. 1. The Wildcats were No. 5 last season in the preseason poll. Arizona has been ranked in the top five of the coaches poll for 22 straight polls, including at the No. 1 spot for eight weeks. Kentucky is No. 1 in the latest coaches poll.

Undefeated T.J.

Saturday’s scrimmage continued the early season trend that every team fifth-year senior McConnell plays on wins. “At his position, he has total command on defense and on offense,” Miller said. “People come and watch us practice, they recognize how important a player he is to our team and how good he is.” Miller, a former point guard, said McConnell is the first returning starting point guard he has ever had. McConnell had eight points, six assists, three steals, one block and one rebound in 23 minutes in his red team’s 53-46 win. “I thought it probably was as good as it gets,” McConnell said. “We have a long way to go; what college basketball team doesn’t have a long way to go eight practices in?”

North 1. No. 6 Oregon (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12 Conference) The only North team to actually win last week, the Ducks look like they have their swagger back and are right back in the playoff hunt. Plus, their throwback Donald Duck uniforms were just plain cool. Last week: First, W vs. Washington 45-20 This week: Friday at California (4-3, 2-3) 2. Stanford (4-3, 2-2) There isn’t a Pac-12 North team that deserves to be second, but the Cardinal shamefully takes this spot. At least its close loss at Notre Dame looks good after the Irish almost beat Florida State. Last week: Second, L at ASU 26-10 This week: Saturday vs. Oregon State (4-2, 1-2) 3. Washington (5-2, 1-1) The Huskies got spanked at Oregon, and, except for a close loss to an overrated Stanford side, haven’t looked at all like a team that was ranked in the preseason. This week, they must face a resurgent ASU team. Last week: Third, L at Oregon 45-20 This week: Saturday at No 14 ASU (5-1, 3-1) 4.

PAC-12, 9

After playing against USC’s more pro-style offense in its last game, Arizona football is back to playing against a spread. On Saturday, the No. 15 Wildcats (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12 Conference) travel to Washington State to face the Cougars’ pass-happy Air Raid offense. Washington State is first in the nation in passing yards with 490 per game, while Arizona is seventh with 357.5. Arizona is 36th in nation rushing offense, while the Cougars are 124th, second to last. “Whereas they’ll throw the ball, throw the ball to set up the run, we’ll run the ball, run the ball, to maybe set up a throw,” UA football head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “But as we’ve showed, we’ve thrown it 70 times a game; I’m not sure they’ve run it 70 times in a game,” WSU quarterback senior Connor Halliday is first in the country in passing yards with 3,344. UA redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon is ninth with 2,136 passing yards. Halliday broke the Football Bowl Subdivision single-game passing record with 734 yards against California earlier this season. “Anytime we face a passing school, it’s exciting to have those
