Allison Vaillancourt pressed the importance for earlier employee feedback at the forum for her fiveyear review on Tuesday. Vaillancourt, vice president for human resources and
institutional effectiveness, started the lecture discussing problems with student employment. She said the issue regarding student employment is that it is dispersed among four different sectors on campus: Human Resources, the
Dean of Students Office, the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid and Career Services. “We can be so much better,” Vaillancourt said. “We can offer so many more opportunities for students.” She said the department will coordinate a discussion
among people to talk about creating more opportunities for students. Vaillancourt also discussed the problem of the ratio between Human Resources staff to employees. Vaillancourt presented the numbers that showed the industry
average for this ratio is 1:150. However, the UA’s ratio is 1:333. “This lack of resources, this decision to be a B-plus kind of place means we don’t have the obvious things that our peers have,

An initiative to legalize recreational marijuana will be on the 2016 ballot, but Rep. Ethan Orr (R-District 9) suggests that a voterapproved measure is not the way to go. If recreational marijuana is approved by voters, having to change any of its policies would be nearly impossible because of the Voter Protection Act. Orr said he believes elected leaders should be the ones to take the initiative on the proposal, because it is a complex system that would require proper planning of rules and taxation for the drug. “Let’s decide what we want to do, because the reality is that’s my job as a leader,” Orr said. “My job as a leader is not to pander to people. It’s to facilitate difficult discussions and come up with a good policy.” Orr said he plans on having this discussion at the legislative session of Arizona on Jan. 12, 2015. Orr added that recreational marijuana could potentially be a billion dollar industry. “Protective revenue could be about $250 to $300 million dollars, and then if you look at the additional burden of the system of incarceration,

The Eller College of Management recently received three sizable donations that will allow it to build a new facility and fund faculty. The donations came from the college’s namesake, the Eller family, the Diamond family and the McClelland family. Vicki Fleischer, senior director of development for Eller College, said the donors had specific intentions for their gifts. Fleischer said the McClellands’ gift will be used to create an endowment for faculty support. Fleischer added that 4 percent of the endowment annually will be allotted for Eller College to recruit and retain faculty. The endowment will also fund research grants and faculty fellowships. The McClelland family donated $3.5 million, through the Shamrock Foods company, of which Norman McClelland is chairman. McClelland is also an alumnus of Eller College. Karl and Stevie Eller have committed a gift with a more specific goal in mind. “Karl and Stevie Eller have committed $1.5 million toward our campaign priorities for the current year, which is our Eller College Professional Development Center,” Fleischer said. “It will be a facility that will be a building

Program adds more diversity to med school BY ALYSSA SCHLITZER The Daily Wildcat
A recently introduced yearlong medical program to give economically and educationally disadvantaged students a chance to attend medical school aims to bring more diversity to the College of Medicine. According to Francisco Moreno, deputy dean of diversity and inclusion, Pre-Medical Admissions Pathway seeks those who are registered members of affiliated American Indian tribes, but disadvantaged people from border areas, such as blacks, Asians, whites and Hispanics are eligible to apply as well.
“Race should not be a disqualifier or qualifier, necessarily,” Moreno said. “We definitely want all those populations that are traditionally underserved in medicine.” According to Moreno, the program currently has 10 students, two of whom are black. Moreno said he believes the biggest benefit of this program is that it will facilitate students’ success in their academic performance during medical school. “We also hope that it will help us accomplish our mission of serving the broader diversity of our state,” Moreno said.

UA Food Day to pioneer sustainability and health BY Benny Sisson The Daily Wildcat
The UA Food Day Fair will be held today on the UA Mall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will feature cooking and gardening demonstrations along with other activities to promote sustainable eating and healthy living. National Food Day is Friday, and the UA Food Day Fair, along with community groups from both on- and off-campus will celebrate today. This UA Food Day Fair — sponsored by Well University Partnership, the department of nutritional sciences, Career and Academic Services at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the UA Green Fund and the UA Office of Sustainability — showcases various ways to make healthy, affordable and sustainable choices with over 40 different community groups. According to its mission statement, Food Day also acts as a campaign for food policies and a “united food movement.” Sarah Rokuski, UA Food Day coordinator and nutrition counselor for Campus Health Service, said people can expect a variety of things from the UA Food Day Fair. “We’ve got Tucson affiliates and campus affiliates,” Rokuski said. “Throughout the whole day, we encouraged our exhibitors to be interactive with what they are showing and make it very educational for our attendees and students.” Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy taste tests, connect with food resources and gain knowledge on the ways to achieve a healthy way of eating. “We want people to know what resources they have in the community and on campus,” Rokuski said, “so that students and attendees can know where to go if they want to continue on with healthy, local [and] sustainable practices.” Ben Champion, director of the UA Office of Sustainability, said the entire office supports this day to show that food is an important aspect of sustainability issues. “We are positioned to support sustainability where it’s a part of our overall campus life, campus activities and also community partnerships,” Champion said. At noon, there will be a cooking demonstration by

And it will house our professional development team, which has grown to about a dozen people who support our students here and their career management search and in their professional development training.” Fleischer described how the Professional Development Center will assist Eller College’s students. According to Fleischer, recruiters who come to campus will do interviews and presentations for Eller College students at the center. Fleischer also said McClelland Hall doesn’t currently have enough space for student collaboration, but that the new center will create more space for those activities. “We are hoping to capture a good part of this professional development center to be flexible space,” Fleischer said, “so that when it is not being used for recruiter presentation, it is being used for student team collaboration, which would have both open space and team rooms.” The Diamond family is still deciding on how it wishes to disperse its gift of $1 million, but have requested that it be recognized as going toward

dispensary system in Arizona for the past two years and suggests using this same system for the recreational drug. Orr said Arizona’s dispensary system for medicinal marijuana is the best in the nation and that it is a highly compliant and highly regulated industry. Orr is making a trip to Colorado and plans to visit Washington state to make statistical studies and seek new perspectives. Jay Zimmermann, manager for the Downtown Dispensary in Tucson, said Colorado and Washington are making billions from their sales tax revenue and that this money is making its way back to the state. “The fact that they’re only doing 25 to 30 percent of the sales that they should be doing this time next year still generating that much tax revenue is fantastic news,” Zimmermann said. “By a large sum its a wild success. That said, what they do with those taxes really makes that a success or not.” Orr said the biggest obstacle he has faced since making this proposal is people not willing to have a discussion about it. Mason Tvert, director of communications at the Marijuana Policy Project, said that in comparison, marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. “It’s irrational to punish adults for choosing the safer substance,” Tvert said. “Marijuana prohibition has been just as big as the alcohol prohibition: ineffective, wasteful and problematic, and it’s time to regulate marijuana like alcohol, take it out of the underground market and treat it similarly to alcohol.” Tvert is based in Denver and was one of the co-directors for the Colorado campaign. Tvert said Colorado is moving forward well since legalizing recreational marijuana. “The system is operational, and millions of dollars in marijuana sales are taking place in regulated, legitimate businesses instead of any underground market,” Tvert said. “The state has generated tens of millions of dollars.” According to Tvert, there is a high possibility that the sales taking place from the business in Colorado will soon be eliminating underground marijuana related activity. The Marijuana Policy Project plans on supporting the advocates who put their proposal on Arizona’s ballot in 2016. Zimmermann is also concerned about the patients who really need the medicine right now. Zimmermann said the legalization of recreational marijuana could make it more difficult for medical patients to obtain higher quality medical marijuana, because there would be more demand. “It’s a double-edged sword,” Zimmermann said. “It really is going to be kind of an experimentation to find out what works and what doesn’t, and luckily, we have the ability to look at Colorado and Washington beforehand and kind of learn from their mistakes. But you know, every state legislator is obviously operating differently, so we’re not quite sure what’s going to happen when it all unfolds.”

the overall campaign priorities for Eller College this year. Eller College has a ticker on its website allowing people to see how close it is to funding these overall campaign priorities. As of Monday, the total was listed at $45 million of its desired $65 million. According to the University of Arizona Foundation’s Annual and Endowment report for 2013, donations for endowments totaled over $17 million. The report also stated that with larger endowments, the UA can rise in academic rankings, retain more faculty, grow programs and offer more opportunities, such as fellowships. According to a UA News press release, James H. Moore Jr., president and CEO of the UA Foundation, emphasized the history these families have with the UA at an event celebrating the Arizona NOW campaign. Moore said in the press release that the donations from the families will continue to benefit the UA business students. “These come from families that have a tremendous history with the UA and the Eller College,” Fleischer said, “and we are honored that all of them stepped up early in the campaign to show their support.”

Community Chatter How do you think the legalization of marijuana would affect UA?

“Actually, I think it will have a negative effect on, you know, education and studying. ’Cause with legal marijuana, more people will me likely to do it and experience the effects of being high on this drug, so it’ll take away from studies.” — Michelle Son, senior studying molecular and cellular biology and Latin American studies

into medicine to expand their clinical opportunities, and participate in the molecular and cellular major. P-MAP does not necessarily seek only American Indians. It is also available to students that are first generation, as well as students who are culturally diverse. “We are also looking for applicants to be conversant in Spanish, if possible, and in other languages that are commonly spoken within Arizona specifically in our tribal communities,” Price–Johnson said. Dr. Violet Siwik, the interim dean of student affairs, said the students in the program are diverse, and studies have shown patient populations prefer to have physicians with similar cultures
“I think people have their own thoughts and ideas. I think many U of A students and, you know, staff and faculty are kind of responsible and fairly responsible and will make the decisions that are best for them. Personally, I don’t see it affecting me in either way.” — Dominic Rodriguez, UA alumnus and current UA Operations Coordinator for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Cooperative Extension programs
and backgrounds. The program was initially designed to enhance diversity, and applicants who reflect that will stand out when studying in the College of Medicine. Students who are accepted into the program will receive a master’s degree in molecular and cellular biology by the end of their one-year term and will use that to serve Arizona’s local communities. “The goal, ultimately, is to create diversity in our College of Medicine that will ultimately reflect the diversity of our state,” Siwik said. “We are trying to become more diverse in our faculty, in our student population and all throughout the College of Medicine.”

research and learning at the UA Main Library, questioned the issue that the five-year review can cause some to have to wait for their input to be given. “The problem is how long people have to wait to provide input, and whether or not some process can be enabled to allow feedback would make the entire process much better,” Brewer said, “because then you would be getting feedback all along or there would be more opportunities to change course or those kinds of things. You don’t have to wait for the five-year, and maybe it wouldn’t be as painful for people going through that as well.” Vaillancourt said that something along those lines would be more favorable than the current situation. She also told Brewer that although an annual review would
not be plausible, a survey could be put in place. “It’s wrong to wait five years,” Vaillancourt said. “What if I was doing something wrong and I needed to fix it?” The rhetorical question also referred back to Vaillancourt’s previous point: that she saw faculty experience contract non-renewals last spring during the years of the review. “If we are a community that cares about each other,” Vaillancourt said, “we need to be giving people honest feedback early, so that it helps them either change course, adjust or find a new job on their own terms.”

Bodily rights don’t start on 18th birthday BY Elizabeth Hannah The Daily Wildcat
A
rizona is one of 38 states that require women under the age of 18 to secure approval from one or both parents in order to exercise their reproductive rights and obtain an abortion. “Parental notification needs to be notarized here in Arizona,” said Kelley Dupps, political engagement coordinator for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona. “That means that a parent and a child need to go to a third party, explain the situation and sign a legal document. This process doesn’t work in a lot of families.” While it may seem reasonable to require parental permission for abortion, there are countless scenarios that would prevent a young woman from acquiring such authorization, including “an abuse situation, an incest situation or a situation involving a minor in the foster care system,” Dupps said. “Oftentimes, a young person may not be able to say, ‘I’m suffering abuse at home,’ because they know that the abusive parent will be arrested due to mandatory reporting laws.” The Supreme Court acknowledged this issue in 1979, ruling in Bellotti v. Baird that states requiring parental notification must also “provide an alternative procedure whereby authorization for the abortion can be obtained.” In other words, access to abortion is such a fundamental right that the Supreme Court has mandated that, while a state can highly encourage young women to consult with their family on their decision, it must create a route by which women can bypass their parent or guardian. In Arizona, as in most states, this “alternative procedure” means obtaining written consent from a judge. A minor who cannot get parental permission has the opportunity to appear in court, explain her circumstances and receive an “administrative bypass” so that a physician may perform an abortion. It seems ridiculous to imagine one would need legal approval in order to access a safe, legal medical procedure. Imagine needing permission from a court in order to renew a prescription for acne medication or to explain why one should be allowed to undergo knee surgery. In fact, conservatives who feared that such a system might emerge under the Affordable Care Act decried the “Obamacare death panels.” And yet, due to the existence of parental notification laws, the judicial bypass outlet constitutes the best option for minors in Arizona. Supporters of these laws often point out the young women in question are minors and therefore unable to make their own medical decisions. First of all, the Supreme Court has rejected this argument in Bellotti v. Baird. The right to an abortion has no more age limit than the right to free speech or the right against unlawful searches. Moreover, a 16-year-old woman who is pregnant will acquire legal responsibility for another minor the moment she gives birth. If she’s mature enough to raise a child on her own, which the law recognizes as being the case, certainly she should be able to make her own medical decision about whether to give birth in the first place. Still, Dupps is thankful the judicial bypass laws exist. “If you’re going to have a parental notification law, which we have in our state, the best alternative is to have a judicial outlet,” Dupps said. “Not having a parental notification law is obviously ideal, but judicial bypass is the best-case scenario, given the hand we’re dealt. Having judicial bypass allows people in challenging circumstances to exercise their rights.” In most instances of judicial bypass, the system works in favor of the woman seeking an abortion. “Honestly, there are very few of these situations that actually happen,” Dupps said. “A lot of times, the judge just wants to make sure that the young woman understands the process [and] understands her decision. I don’t know the statistics, but I can’t think of a situation in which a judge would not grant administrative bypass.” Yet even the judicial bypass system is imperfect. A recent Mother Jones article noted that a judge’s personal beliefs about abortion often influence the outcome of a bypass hearing. If a judge opposes abortion in all circumstances, they might arbitrarily deny administrative bypass. And appearing in court is itself a burden on a young woman who may have to take time off school or work and secure transportation, all without her parent or guardian knowing. Ultimately, it is fortunate the judicial bypass outlet exists in Arizona because it provides young women the opportunity to access abortion services to which they are legally entitled. But such an outlet should not be necessary at all — it is only a byproduct of restrictive parental notification laws. Laws that limit access to legal abortion services suggest that “women aren’t able to be trusted with our own healthcare decisions,” Dupps said. Such laws offer no medical benefit, but they perpetuate mistrust of women in our society by forcing women to place their own health in the hands of others.

Which party is best for schools? Democrats prioritize public school funding, teachers and rigorous curricula; Republican policies put students last
BY Patrick Martin Young Democrats
T
he single most important thing that the government can do to improve primary and secondary education in America is to improve the public school system — not pull public money out of public schools to line the pocket books of private businesses like charter, private and parochial schools. In particular, we ought to begin by increasing funding to schools, raising teachers’ wages and standardizing education across the states. Those who say there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats couldn’t be more wrong when it comes to education. Everything I will say in here is opposed by the Republicans running for state office in Arizona and supported by the Democrats. Republicans have continually complained that governments already spend enough, or even too much, on public education, with Republican candidates Doug Ducey, for governor, and Diane Douglas, for Superintendent of Public Instruction, claiming that the current amount, around $8,700 per student in Arizona, is more than enough. Not only is it absolutely ridiculous that these candidates believe being in the bottom five states in the nation in per-student spending is adequate, but it’s ludicrous people think that spending more money on education won’t improve it. Teacher pay is abysmal: The average starting salary for teachers in the nation is about $36,000 per year, while the average starting salary for jobs that require a bachelor’s degree is about $45,000 per year. That’s a 20 percent difference. How can we attract talented people to teach the nation’s children if we force them to take a 20-percent pay cut in order to do so? In addition to properly funding our teachers, we also need to properly fund our school systems so that teachers and students have the supplies they need — which is why Fred DuVal, the Democratic candidate for governor, pledges not to cut any money from public education. Ducey? He intends to go to court to protect the cuts to Arizona’s education. Furthermore, Republicans like Ducey like to claim our public school system is “broken.” Well, these Republicans are wrong. American public schools are not underperforming. Rather, national studies from the U.S. Department of Education and the Center for Research on Education Outcomes have
shown that, overall, traditional public schools perform just as well as private and charter schools. If this comes as a surprise, realize that the primary difference between public and private schools is that public schools must accept everyone in their district, while private schools select for students that tend to do better on standardized tests, giving the appearance that they are more effective in general. But the fact is, if those students were to attend traditional public schools, they would succeed just as well. This reveals a certain hypocrisy in Ducey’s policies: While he believes we spend too much on education, he supports using public funds to help students attend much more expensive private schools. DuVal does not. Finally, we should standardize teaching across the nation, such as through the Common Core. While the Common Core has its flaws, we need policymakers who are committed to improving its implementation, such as Duval and David Garcia, the Democratic candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction. However, Republicans like Ducey and Douglas oppose these standards for reasons that show they have no idea what the Common Core is. They believe it is a set of standards that are “imposed top-down from Washington,” a direct quote from Ducey, when in reality, it is a state-led effort not connected to the federal government. It is extremely troubling that Republican candidates have such strong opinions on something they are ignorant about. But, of course, that has unfortunately become par for the course for the Republican Party. The fact of the matter is that Democrats are committed to protecting one of our nation’s oldest and strongest institutions, the institution that arguably allowed us to become the world’s richest country in the first place: The public school system. Republicans are committed to eroding that institution by slowing choking off its supply of funds, by eliminating teachers’ unions that fight to raise teacher pay and by rejecting attempts to ensure that students in every state and community are learning the skills they will need to succeed. Those of us who care about elementary and secondary education have a clear choice come November.

A UA student was taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication on Oct. 10. Two UAPD officers responded to a call at Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall in reference to an extremely intoxicated female student. When the officers arrived, they made contact with a woman who was lying in a bed in the room they had been called to. There was vomit on the floor, and when confronted about the vomit, the woman denied she had thrown up or been sick and said it was because of her roommate. The female student’s speech was slurred and confused. When the officers requested identification, she attempted to obtain it under officer supervision. The officer met with the female student’s roommate and their hall neighbor. The hall neighbor said that approximately an hour before, the woman entered his room and seemed disoriented, so he assumed she was intoxicated. He said he assisted the female student back to her room. The neighbor returned and saw the woman laying on the floor. It appeared she had vomited. He contacted the on-duty resident assistant. The roommate denied vomiting and did not exhibit any signs of intoxication. The roommate also informed the officer the female student had a history of intoxication. Tucson Fire Department arrived on the scene. The woman was unable to locate her identification and verbally identified herself. TFD determined the female student needed to be transported to UAMC for further treatment. The woman was informed she was being diverted through the Dean of Students Office.

Two UA students were issued student diversions for minor in possession of spirituous liquor in body on Oct. 10. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was conducting an area check around 1 a.m. when he saw three cars and individuals exiting the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity house. The officer noted there was loud music coming from the house, and the individuals getting into the cars seemed to be intoxicated, stumbling and utilizing one another to walk and talking loudly. The officer saw a man and a woman sitting on the ground in the entrance of a parking lot north of the Herbert K. Abrams building. The individuals stood up and were faced away from the officer. The officer could see the individuals’ rears and that they were pulling up their underwear and clothing. The officer waited for them to get their clothes on completely before approaching. When asked what they had been doing, they told the officer they were urinating, although the officer could not see any area that was damp where they had been sitting. The officer asked for identification and asked why they were urinating in public near a main street. The individuals said they were attending a house party and needed to use the restrooms, but they were all occupied. The man stood behind the woman and continued to whisper to her as the officer conducted a record check for the individuals. The officer asked the woman to step away from the man and speak with him privately. The officer explained he could smell alcohol on her breath and read the individual her Miranda rights. She said she did not have any alcohol to drink and had attended the party as a sober friend. She said she was willing to give a breath sample for a preliminary breath test, which tested positive for alcohol. When the officer showed her the results, she explained she had been handed a red cup of liquid, believing it was water but said it tasted like alcohol. She said she only had a little bit to drink, but could not remember who gave her the beverage. She was advised to not accept drinks at parties from unknown persons.

HARD AT WORK in his laboratory, Victor Frankenstein (Matthew Bowdren) assembles his finest masterpiece, the Creature (Micah Bond) in Victor Gialanella’s “Frankenstein,” based on the novel by Mary Shelley, running now until Nov. 9 at UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre.
English class. Shelley’s protagonist is passionate, maniacal and foreboding; Gialanella’s interpretation overwhelms Frankenstein with so much tragedy, that there is no time to explore the complexity of his rash judgments. It’s as if William Shakespeare were to erase Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking scene and cut straight to her off-stage suicide. Despite these literary quibbles, this production is stunning with its technical design and student talent. Scenic designer Peter Beudert deserves recognition for transforming the malleable Tornabene Theatre into a graveyard, laboratory and Victorian
sitting room all in the same space; it’s almost as if he were a mad scientist himself. Costume designer Patrick Holt avoids the familiar green makeup and metal bolts made famous by Boris Karloff and stitches together an original, nightmarish wardrobe for the Creature to make him appear like the leader of the Trench Coat Mafia. Senior musical theatre major Micah Bond delivers an impressive performance as the Creature, granting him plenty of sympathy for his unholy circumstances without sacrificing any of his monstrously vengeful tendencies. The rest of the cast includes
student actors Carli Naff, David Hentz, Bryn Booth, Hunter Hnat and Heather Cox. Matthew Bowdren, who plays Frankenstein, is currently completing a postgraduate fellowship in acting and earned a master’s of fine arts from the University of Georgia. Incredibly complementary of the Halloween season, “Frankenstein” will surely give plenty of kicks for local horror junkies. But I’d recommend sticking to Shelley’s book if you’re looking for a thrill to permeate your subconscious.

RYAN WINET, a graduate student studying English, reads “The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou” in the UA Poetry Center. Angelou is one of several poets who died this year who will be honored at the Day of the Dead Memorial Reading on Thursday.
BY MIA MORAN
The Daily Wildcat
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” These famous words from poet and author Maya Angelou ring ever truer to describe her timeless influence after her death this past May. Angelou is one of several poets who died in the past year whose work will be remembered on Thursday at the Day of the Dead Memorial Reading at the Helen S. Schaefer Poetry Center. Hannah Ensor, the events coordinator at the Poetry Center and a UA alumna, said both the recognizable and less well-known poets featured at the event offer the same inspiration Angelou spoke of. “I’ve spent some time reading each of [the poets’] works, and it’s been amazing — both the poets I knew already and the ones whose names I only came to as they passed away,” Ensor said. “Feeling changed, inspired, by so many of their poems, I’m glad we get to give their art a bit of lift, even
as it’s tinged with sadness in this moment of thinking of how they’re no longer with us.” Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday that honors those who have died by celebrating their lives with altars of food, candles, flowers and photos. The celebration has become a Tucson tradition with events such as the annual All Souls Procession downtown, and the Poetry Center is expanding the tradition by having local poets read the work of poets who have recently died. “[This] event comes a few weeks before the All Souls Procession — a magical communal coming-together — and this event will hopefully get us started in thinking about how to honor those who have passed, and honor the sacred, important act of remembering,” Ensor said. Community members will have the opportunity to read work from poets who have died in the past year and add an offering on the altar. Some of the poets honored include Maxine Kumin, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and
the U.S. Poet Laureate in 1981, Seamus Heaney, winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature, and Angelou, famed author of “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and recipient of awards from both President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama. Obama, who awarded Angelou the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011, commented on the loss of Angelou as an activist and author after her death on May 28. “The voice she found helped generations of Americans find their rainbow amidst the clouds and inspired the rest of us to be our best selves,” Obama said. For those who want to relive the words of the no longer living, the Day of the Dead Memorial reading will be from 7-8 p.m. at the Poetry Center on Thursday. “I can’t think of a better way to think of who we’ve lost over the last year and keep their voices present, alive, with us,” Ensor said. — Follow Mia Moran @miasarahlucille

f you think keeping up with new music is just as important as keeping up with schoolwork, you already know that one of the biggest musical weeks of this year is upon us: the CMJ Music Marathon. Unfortunately for the people of Tucson, CMJ is located in New York City, so we have to gaze upon the excitement from afar via Twitter, Stereogum and BrooklynVegan. CMJ is a citywide festival where many record labels and public relations firms host showcases, or shows with about five or six bands they represent — similar to the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas. Luckily, we can watch all the sets online and read the snarky Noisey articles, drool over the Instagram posts and incessantly check #CMJ on every platform available. Here are a few bands that have been hyped up as the rising stars of the week: THE WYTCHES — This summer, I couldn’t stop listening to this British group’s slowed down, metallic surf pop. They did a jaunt around the U.S. this summer, but they return for a heavy run of CMJ shows, assisted by a government grant given to a few bands to help them spread British music around the world. I’ll say it first: Cheers, Queen Liz. We need way more British rock on this side of the pond. GIRLPOOL — This two-piece band, composed of vocalist/guitarist Cleo Tucker and vocalist/bassist Harmony Tividad, is unlike anything
I’ve heard in a while. No drums but very cool acoustic guitar and acoustic bass lines. For fans of Juan Wauters, Girlpool is honestly one of my favorite upcoming bands this fall with its acoustic, lo-fi, fem punk. What other band gives you lines such as, “It’s not enough to watch a movie / Eat me out to American Beauty”? TWIN PEAKS — Twin Peaks has gathered some buzz lately. Not just David Lynch’s iconic cult TV show (returning in 2016), but also the Chicago band whose members weren’t even alive when the show first aired. They’ve had a big summer with the release of their album Wild Onion, but it’ll be interesting to see if they live up to the hype and keep their popularity up longer than three months. I’m betting on no. Sorry, guys. PROM BODY — Yes, Tucson’s very own Prom Body will be at CMJ. Here’s to hoping it gives NYC hell and shows it what the Southwest has to offer. If you haven’t checked the band out already, it’s grown up into a grungy psych fiesta with a touch of shoegaze. HONORABLE MENTIONS — No, this isn’t a band. Here are just some other worthy bands to check out and see how they manage the marathon week: Nai Harvest, Slutever, The #1s, Beverly, Heat and Fat White Family — whose lead singer played the band’s last show completely naked. If that’s not worth checking out, then I don’t know what is.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 10
Then there was the 2013-14 season, where Miller stuck to a seven or eight-man rotation and rarely used Mayes in a backup role. In essence, the backup point guard was Nick Johnson. T.J. McConnell played 32.2 minutes per game as the starter and was fantastic at controlling tempo and staying out of foul trouble. Based on the above history lesson, here’s a rundown of point guards who have held the backup point guard role in Miller’s time at Arizona so far: Jones (one season as backup), Turner (half a season as backup) and Mayes (about three-and-a-half years as backup). That’s one solid backup and two eerily inconsistent players. Miller’s recruiting prowess on the wings and down low is a major reason why the team has gone 129-48 in his five years at Arizona. His lack of recruiting at point guard is why the team hasn’t been even better. That should change this season, though. In comes Parker Jackson-Cartwright to help solidify the backup point guard role left vacant with Mayes’ graduation. The 57th overall recruit in the 2014 class, according to ESPN, is listed at 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds. In reality, he’s probably closer to 5-foot-7 and 150 pounds. Coming out of Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Jackson-Cartwright lacked the wow factor that most high-level recruits are “supposed to have.” He’s a rare throwback to more fundamental point guards. Where most high school highlight mixtapes show players throwing down sensational dunks or seemingly crossing up an entire team at once, Jackson-Cartwright’s mixtapes show him finishing in traffic with both hands, playing defense and hitting teammates for open buckets. He’s exactly what you want from a backup point guard: someone who can facilitate the offense, hit an open shot, play defense and be

an extension of the coach on the floor. JacksonCartwright can do all that and more. Going against McConnell every day in practice is sure to help Jackson-Cartwright learn the intricacies of being a point guard on a premier D-1 collegiate basketball team. If he wanted to learn as much as possible in his first year while also getting valuable game experience, Arizona is the perfect place for him.
In the annual McDonald’s Red-Blue Game held over this past weekend, the two point guards went at each other almost exclusively. Not surprisingly, McConnell won the headto-head matchup. However, what might have gone unnoticed is Jackson-Cartwright’s willingness to take all of McConnell’s defense straight-up and continue to run the offense. The stats from that game won’t show it, but Jackson-Cartwright brings exactly what Miller
needs from his backup point guard. With the regular season about a month away, Miller and his staff should have comfort knowing that for the first time since the 200910 season, there is a capable player ready to back up the starting point guard.

There’s little rest for the weary as the Arizona volleyball team has to travel to Oregon to face the No. 11 Ducks in an abbreviated match week. No. 15 Arizona (16-4, 5-3 Pac-12 Conference) plays Oregon at 7:30 p.m. on the Pac-12 Networks tonight, three days after losing to No. 3 Washington at home. “We don’t have any time to get ready for Oregon, and they’re just an absolute heart attack to play at their place,” UA volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said. “The schedule is certainly not doing us any benefits.” The Wildcats got Monday to rest and practiced Tuesday morning. “The kind of system they run takes some time to get used to,” Rubio said. “You’d like at least two or three practices to duplicate what they do and to get ready and we got two hours.” Senior outside hitter Taylor

UA senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon said. “I mean, we’ve been so close to beating the No. 1, [No. 2], [No. 3] in the country, and that’s all on us, all the errors that we make.” Oregon is third in the Pac-12 in kills and assists and fourth in hitting percentage. “Oregon’s a different team; they have a more faster set tempo,” Arizobal said. “Even though they’re the No. 10 team, I think we can totally beat them.” On Friday, the Wildcats face Oregon State. Arizona has lost three of its last five matches. “It’s going to be the most challenging stretch of matches that we’ve played,” Rubio said. “We played Washington [Sunday], Oregon on Wednesday and then Oregon State, who’s no joke, either, on Friday. So, it’s really going to be a challenging week for us.”

or the past five years, basketball head coach Sean Miller has had to struggle just to find a starting point guard, let alone a backup. Mediocrity has plagued the backup point guard spot and hampered his ability to use his bench properly. Before we dive into why that’s not the case this season, let’s have a brief history lesson. Miller’s first season at Arizona is the only year where a backup point guard has played over 18 minutes per game. Lamont “MoMo” Jones played behind Nic Wise and provided reliable play in his freshman year as a Wildcat during the 2009-10 season. Jones would end up as the starting point guard for the 2011-12 season before transferring to Iona before the 2012-13 season to be closer to his sick grandmother. His would-be backup, Josiah Turner, was thrust into the starting role and struggled remarkably. Turner battled inconsistency and suspensions throughout his lone season at Arizona. Turner’s backup was supposed to be Jordin Mayes, but he wasn’t much better, either. The Wildcats were stuck in point guard mediocrity and had nowhere to go but up. The 2012-13 season saw Mark Lyons transfer from Xavier University and solidify the starting point guard spot. Unfortunately, Mayes was still the backup and still struggled.
