New voices, few votes BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona initiative to get more students involved with early voter registration in the 2014 midterm elections didn’t have quite the turnout as expected. Katie Jones, ASUA policy director, said the turnout this year from the “Our Voice, Our Vote” campaign was widespread with respect to students and community members from Tucson. “The opportunity was there for people to go out [and] vote,” Jones said, “and it was convenient for a lot of people, both on campus and nearby to get here.”
ASUA President Issac Ortega said in the past, the UA has registered around 600 people for early voting. “This time around, they got just about 400,” Ortega said, “but the difference was that there were probably way more students [than] there were people from the community.” ASUA Sen. Joe Zanoni said students seemed less excited about the midterm elections than they were two years ago for the presidential election. “I think that’s because both candidates for governor really didn’t excite the student body, because there weren’t that

As Massively Open Online Courses grow in popularity across the nation, the UA currently has two professors who have developed a MOOC. One MOOC is taught and developed by astronomy professor Chris Impey, and another is being developed by chemistry professor Katrina Miranda. MOOCs are specifically designed for those hoping to further their education for their own benefit rather than with the goal of obtaining a college degree.

They comprise a kind of no-strings-attached education, wherein the student has virtually nothing to lose. Most classes are free, and students can pick and choose what they want to learn and how much effort they want to put into the class. There is no obligation to finish a class, so a student could sign up for a class with the sole intent of using it to study for an exam or prepare for a presentation. Impey developed a MOOC to teach Astronomy — State of the Art through Udemy. Impey said his course was not designed for advanced astronomers,

While joining Greek Life at the UA is a way to connect with new people and build lifelong relationships, the price tag inherent in joining leaves students surprised at how much they spend each year in fees and other expenses. Sororities and fraternities are national, and each chapter has to pay a flat fee to its national fraternity or sorority, which covers its national insurance. Johanne Ives, the assistant dean of students in Fraternity & Sorority Programs, said the insurance covers things such as house chapters, meal plans, staff that work there and other fees. According to the Greek Life website, new members of the Chi Omega sorority will spend about $2,113 during its first year, including 10 meals a week. This number doesn’t include housing. Nicole Cousins, the president of Chi Omega, said those dues include the mandatory house fee, payments to the national chapter and also food in the house. Cousins said Chi Omega includes lunch and dinner five days a week, and by doing this, students are saving a lot more money than by having a meal plan at the university. Some sororities may also fine for missed meetings if they are important, but each sorority has different prices and ways of running its house. Ives said it depends on each chapter when and why they want to issue fines to their members. “Most chapters fine for really important things that they don’t want members to miss,” Ives said, “like initiation and recruitment.” Joe Novelli, the vice president of finance for the Interfraternity Council, said that of the fraternities he is familiar with, most will issue fines depending on the situation at hand. “If members are unexcused from chapter meetings or mandatory events, maybe ritual and things like that, they do issue fines,” Novelli said. “They vary depending on what the event is and how frequent the mishaps are.” On the other hand, for some fraternities and sororities,

While the 2nd Congressional District representative has yet to be voted in , there’s no question that things in Washington will change now that there are more Republicans in the Senate. President Barack Obama gave a speech on Wednesday
to discuss the Republican gains in the Tuesday election and stressed that he would put the voters at the top of his list. “The American people overwhelmingly believe that this town doesn’t work well and that it is not attentive to their needs,” Obama said in his televised speech. He said one of the best ways to work for the American people
is to use both sides of the aisle. “I think it’s fair to say that I’ve shown a lot of patience and have tried to work on a bipartisan basis as much as possible,” Obama said, “and I’m going to keep on doing so.” While Obama said he would like to work across the aisle, he also said if bipartisanship didn’t work, he would have to rely on other forms of governing as a

Palestinian’s fate left to Detroit jury tribune news service
DETROIT — To prosecutors, Rasmieh Odeh is a terrorist who killed Israelis in 1969 and then lied about it when trying to become a U.S. citizen. To her supporters in the ArabAmerican community, Odeh is a role model, someone who has been unjustly targeted by the government. Those conflicting views of the 67-year-old Arab-American social worker from Chicago played out over the past week in a Detroit courtroom during Odeh’s trial, accused of lying about her conviction in 1969 bombings that killed two people in Israel. On Monday, a jury will deliberate after closing arguments were made Friday in the U.S. District Court in Detroit before Judge Gershwin Drain. Federal prosecutors said that Odeh, a Palestinian immigrant who used to live in Michigan, checked “no” on immigration and citizenship

Before the trial, defense attorneys for Odeh said in court filings that she had been sexually assaulted and tortured by Israelis while in prison, resulting in a forced confession. But Drain did not allow those claims to be mentioned during the trial, disappointing her supporters, who were planning to make that a key part of their case. “We don’t believe that we got a full and fair trial,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, executive director of the Arab American Action Network, on Friday. “There’s no due process in Israeli military courts.”

but is intended for anyone who wants to learn more about astronomy. “[MOOCs are] a way to reach a large number of people, even people outside of the U.S.,” Impey said. “About half of the people in my class are from different countries.” MOOCs offer online classes from elite universities, many of which are offered free of charge. These classes are open to virtually anyone and were designed with the idea that anyone from anywhere could obtain some sort of higher education, even someone in a distant country. Currently, the average MOOC student is a young white American man who already has a bachelor’s degree and a full-time job, according to The New York Times. The New York Times also stated that eight out of every 10 students enrolled in MOOCs being offered by University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania in 2012-2013 had previously earned a degree of some kind. Coursera and edX, the two main MOOC providers, strive to offer elite education to the general public free of charge with the goal of driving down college tuition costs. While MOOCs are known for being free, currently, those enrolled in MOOCs cannot earn a degree from a real institution of higher education. The edX website stated that “Universities do not offer formal academic credit for edX coursework and do not certify that MOOC students have met the same requirements as matriculated students taking the original course on which the MOOC is based.” MOOCs are designed for ease of use. Anyone interested in taking a class can view a course selection, enter a minimal amount of personal information and be registered to take an online course from an elite university, such as Harvard University or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in less than five minutes. Jordan Staab, a journalism freshman, said she would be willing to try out a MOOC.

sometimes fines can be excused if someone has a legitimate reason for not attending. “You can turn in an excuse form all the way up until 24 hours prior, and the treasurer often does have the power to reverse the fine,” Novelli said. Novelli added that new members are usually asked of their financial responsibilities during the recruitment process, so no one is surprised at how much is spent at the end of the year. Another cost that can add up over time is big and little gifts that are given every year in sororities. “Some sororities are better about including all the costs and the dues,” Ives explained. “There are some things that maybe they’re not anticipating, like if they have a little sis and buying a gift or if they have a big sis and buying a gift.” Ives said students in their first and second year, not living with family and managing their own expenses and budget, probably go through some growing pains in terms of spending money in a sorority and school in general. Cousins said they have some rules in Chi Omega when it comes to big and little gifts during reveal week and initiation. Cousins said they only allow about three gifts per day, and the gifts are supposed to be homemade so they are not greatly extravagant. Cousins said some members go all out and will give several gifts for initiation or reveal, but they generally try to keep the cost around $100 for the entire week. “I know in Chi Omega, we have a strict rule because it has been kind of flamboyant throughout the years,” Cousins said. Each sorority and fraternity has its own way of handling prices and fines for its members, and while the cost can be high, the chapters try to remain transparent with their fines. “Usually, all of those financial responsibilities are provided upfront so they know what they are getting themselves into,” Novelli said.

many new ideas,” Zanoni said. Ortega said that, in his opinion, the turnout for early voter registration depends on the climate of the election. “We always do our best to try to engage students, from the beginning when you talk about registration, all the way until the day you actually vote,” Ortega said. “And we’ve gotten a lot of compliments from students saying that if it wasn’t for having the early voting site here at ASUA, they probably wouldn’t have gone out to vote.” Jones said the “Our Voice, Our Vote” campaign began with the Aloe Blacc concert. After the concert, ASUA members went into classrooms to educate students about voting and hosted a booth on the UA Mall where students could register. Ortega said the most successful event of the “Our Voice, Our Vote” campaign was the gubernatorial forum. “We got such great feedback from the candidates who participated,” Ortega said. “It was a great thing to know that we had an opportunity

for students to come out and get educated on some of the candidates that we had.” Zanoni said the traditional paper voting style might work for parents and grandparents, but it really doesn’t work for the Millennial generation. He said the online format is much more accessible for students. “The implementation of TurboVote, where we had students register through an online system was really cool,” Ortega said. “We had a lot more students register that way just because it was way easier, rather than some intimidating paper and pen thing.” Ortega said ASUA is still working on crunching the numbers to find the exact percentage of students registered to vote in 2014. He predicted the percentage of students who will register in the future will continue to increase, especially in the presidential elections. “I’m excited to use TurboVote for the presidential election,” Zanoni said, “because I think we could really mobilize the student vote like we’ve never seen before.”

Personality test should be utilized by leaders BY EMILEE HOOPES The Daily Wildcat
T
he UA continues to pride itself on the plethora of leadership and involvement opportunities available on campus. From Arizona Ambassadors, to UA’s undergraduate and graduate student councils, to dozens of clubs and organizations, and even minors and certificates in-between, the UA offers programs that provide the chance for students to grow as leaders and build their understanding of their own potential. However, few of these programs have implemented one of the most effective methods of deducing one’s own personal leadership style and the application of one’s unique strengths: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The MBTI test is an assessment used to measure psychological preferences in perception and decision-making scenarios along four axes: extroversion to introversion, sensing to intuiting, thinking to feeling and perceiving to judging. It’s used by the human resources departments of 89 companies in the Fortune 100 and around 200 federal agencies, including the military. The Arizona Blue Chip Program is one UA leadership organization that has embedded the MBTI into its program. “[The] MBTI is a very effective tool in helping people understand their personality types, why they get their energy from certain activities, how they interact with people and why they make certain decisions,” said Tina Neil, director of the Arizona Blue Chip Program. Specifically, she added that it plays into Blue Chip’s emphasis on leadership. “For leaders, it helps them understand better who they are and how to best interact with others,” Neil said. Although Neil notes the expense of MBTI, she insists the material is well worth the initial investment. “I attended a four-day training to become a certified MBTI facilitator,” she said. “Training can cost up to $3000, but once trained, you are certified forever. Blue Chip uses the cheapest form of giving the assessment, which costs about $5 per student. While the initial costs of training, booklets and scoring tools cost a few hundred dollars, they can be reused indefinitely.” Critics argue that, from a scientific and psychological perspective, the MBTI is a flawed measurement that can tell us little of value. But these critics fail to recognize the reasons that so many find the MBTI to be helpful. The Myers-Briggs test isn’t about discovering whether a student is an extrovert or an introvert, as though those two things were mutuallyexclusive, polar opposites. It’s about helping a student engage in selfreflection and rank their skill sets. “I have found that when the MBTI is not facilitated by a certified professional, they tend to use MBTI to put people in boxes and make judgments,” Neil said. “I have worked with many people that have previously taken the MBTI and felt their letters did not match them, and after a session with me, understood more. The MBTI assessment is a very complex personality tool that, when used correctly, can be very eye opening.” We already know college is not strictly about academics or obtaining a degree. If it were, most students wouldn’t even bother adding extracurricular activities to their already busy schedules. The purpose of campus organizations is to develop social and occupational skills that can be applied to future endeavors. If students are incapable of applying their knowledge productively, then does it even matter what they know? We attend college so we can be prepared for the “real world,” but there are some things that can’t fit on a resume. Surely Blue Chip isn’t the only program that could benefit from its students having a solid understanding of themselves. The self-knowledge — of one’s types of intelligence, interpersonal skills and motivation — that comes with a proper MBTI assessment is well worth the cost, and campus programs should consider introducing it in the future.

Hip-hop owes T-Pain a drank BY NICK HAVEY
The Daily Wildcat
I
t’s hard to be the first person that starts something. Trendsetters are often praised, but on rare occasions, they are branded as lower-quality versions of the people who follow them. For T-Pain, auto tune both made and broke him. As the person who popularized the use of auto tune in mainstream music, or at least hiphop — Cher used it in droves on her 1998 hit “Believe” — it would make sense for him to be lauded as a pioneer. He isn’t. He’s become a joke and the target of an industry that has long held its members to inhuman standards of hyper-masculinity and stoicism. It does not help that T-Pain is a “rappa ternt sanga” and a man defined by his dorky top hot and Oakley sunglasses. And although he is known for songs such as “Booty Wurk” and “Buy U A Drank,” he
recently gave a Tiny Desk Concert where he proved just how musically talented he is, singing without instruments or auto tune and absolutely slaying. This does not, however, diminish the hate he has received from fellow artists, both for his use of auto tune and for being emotionally vulnerable. In an interview with VladTV earlier this year, T-Pain shared his own feelings on the matter. “People are, like, ‘You’re rich! What’re you so worried about?’ ” he said. “And I’m, like, money ain’t the issue here. Yeah, I can buy shit, but I want people to like me, too! God damn!” Hip-hop is a genre that aggressively dissolves any difference. People such as Frank Ocean and T-Pain put in talent but face challenges when it comes to being taken seriously. They have too many feelings for a world that is all about status and bragging. André Pettman, the director of hip-hop at KAMP student radio, said T-Pain is due some recognition. “Hip-hop has long been known for being rooted in masculinity,
[which alienates] talented artists who present themselves as more vulnerable,” Pettman said. “With artists such as Drake reaching a superstar level that transcends hip-hop with a brand of music that is introspective and emotional, one can’t help but feel that the respect for an artist like T-Pain is long overdue, considering the way his style of auto-tuned crooning revolutionized and polarized hiphop in ways that can still be felt today.” Obviously, this climate is not going to change any time soon; consumers are obsessed with the money, drugs and portrayal of women as sex objects. That being said, it doesn’t have to completely reject artists because they want to write love songs. Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreaks is a great example. The album features auto tune and heavy bass, much like T-Pain’s Rappa Ternt Sanga. T-Pain said he thinks he should have been credited on the album. “I respect that shit, but it’s like the praise that he got from it was like, ‘Oh my God, this is so creative.
This is the new shit. This is the shit,’” T-Pain said in his interview. “And I’m like, ‘Well, what happened in 2005 when I dropped Rappa Ternt Sanga and it was the same album. That’s kind of weird.’ You know what I’m saying. It just felt like I was unappreciated and anything like that.” Dear T-Pain, I think you’re pretty rad. I dig your voice, and I genuinely respect your raw talent and mastery of auto tune. You took something that was being intermittently used and made it your thing. But to put it plainly, T-Pain seems bitter. He’s working on releasing an album ironically titled Stoicville — where no one has to have feelings and the emotionless ramblings can be backed by heavy bass — and he could easily just be trying to drum up publicity for the release. Or maybe this is all really starting to get to him. After all, he does have a lot of feelings. — Nick Havey is a junior studying physiology and Spanish. Follow him @NiHavey
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Treat graduate students better
G
raduate students are integral to making the UA a first-class teaching and research institution. For example, graduate students teach one-third of the undergraduate classes offered at the university. Graduate students also publish our own research. Thus, graduate students enhance the reputation of the university via our unique and innovative scholarship. However, due to recent changes made to student quality of life, our ability to further the university’s mission is hindered. For instance, last year, the Arizona Board of Regents voted to raise student health insurance premiums, our yearly insurance deductibles and our out-ofpocket insurance maximums to unaffordable levels. These changes caused departments — such as my own — to engage in fundraising measures to help graduate students pay for their medical care so they can remain in school. In addition, as reported by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, nearly one-quarter of U.S. students are parents. Consequently, many institutions comparable in size to ours have on-site child care, often immersed in early education departments. However, the university does not provide on-site childcare. While the university does make some childcare stipends available via the Life and Work Connections program, these funds do not provide meaningful support. For example, I have taught in situations where undergraduates brought their children to my class, as they were turned down for Life and Work Connections assistance, and had no other place to take their children. As most graduate student “stipends” are desperately low, many graduate students are unable to pay for health care or child care. For instance, most graduate students from the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences make $16,000 a year. This salary falls below what the Massachusetts Institute of Technology calculates is the living wage for Pima County: $17,400. Furthermore, these

In Brief
BY max rodriguez The Daily Wildcat
Proposition 122 approved
Arizona voters officially approved Proposition 122. Proposition 122 gives Arizona’s state government free range to deny funding to any federal program that the state government determines to be unconstitutional. The vote was tight as 51.25 percent of voters approved of the measure, and 48.75 percent voted against the proposition, according to Arizona Public Media. Supporters have said the measure gives Arizona more control over what goes on within its own borders, while opponents have said Proposition 122 is itself unconstitutional, as state legislatures do not have the power to determine the constitutionality of federal laws.
President sends more troops to Iraq
President Barack Obama said in an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” that the decision to send in an additional 1,500 troops to Iraq is not because the current measures are failing. Rather, Obama said it is because the military measures are entering a “new phase.” The 1,500 troops are being sent to assist in training Iraqi soldiers so that they may drive back advances by ISIS in Iraq, according to a CNN report.
2nd Congressional District undetermined
The 2nd Congressional District candidate winner remains unclear as ballots remain uncounted, according to The Associated Press. Today, 13,000 election ballots will be counted in Pima County in an attempt to bring clarity to the still undecided race between Democratic incumbent Ron Barber and Republican challenger Martha McSally. As of Saturday afternoon, McSally still had a slim lead of about 500 votes. If the race ends within 200 votes, there will be an automatic recount, dragging out the process even further.
Student tests positive for date-rape drug
A student who reported intoxication and memory loss at a fraternity party at Brown University tested positive for a daterape drug, according to the AP. The student was confirmed to have consumed gamma hydroxybutyrate, also referred to as GHB, which is highly sedative. The reports came out after a party on Oct. 17 at Brown University’s chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. None of the students in the fraternity have been charged with any crimes, including sexual assault.
Douglas clenches superintendent position
Diane Douglas, a Republican, will be Arizona’s next superintendent of public instruction after a close race with Democrat David Garcia, according to The Arizona Republic. Douglas ran solely on the idea of repealing Common Core and attributed that to the fact that she said Arizonans want a voice in how their children are educated.

s the lights went out in Arizona Stadium, Arizona football knew it had done something right. Coming off a tough loss against UCLA, the No. 17 Wildcats left their alumni smiling in their 100th anniversary Homecoming victory 38-20 against the Colorado Buffaloes in front of a crowd of 50,177. Arizona will get an increase in its wins column, but it sure didn’t come easy. Colorado jumped to an early lead with a 75yard touchdown on its opening drive, pinning the Wildcats and leaving the crowd stunned in disbelief. The Colorado game was one that should have come easy to the Wildcats, but at halftime, the teams were separated by just four points. “Our guys love to play and compete,” Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “They don’t panic, and there is adversity that will strike in every game. It didn’t go down to the last couple of minutes, but I think our guys’ mindset is that they are prepared to compete until the end.” The UA defense came to play against the Buffaloes, disrupting the Colorado offense and forcing four turnovers. It was the most turnovers forced by the team since 2012 when it defeated USC.
Emergence of Samajie Grant
The 5-foot-9 receiver from Compton, Calif., had quite the day for the Wildcats with 83 yards receiving and two touchdowns. “Samajie played as a freshman last year, and he learned all four receiver positions,” Rodriguez said. “What I thought after reviewing the film from last year coming into this season is that he is one of our best football players.” This season, Grant has totaled 381 yards receiving and three touchdowns. The stats make him Arizona’s third-best receiver, a place that Grant has had to earn. “He is a very competitive guy, and he can play inside and outside,” Rodriguez said. “He is overlooked sometimes … literally, because he isn’t very tall. He is a really good football player, and he made some great plays tonight.” Grant proved that nobody would be able to stop him against Colorado, even hurdling over Colorado defensive back Evan White during the first quarter. “It’s funny because this week, I caught a pass and just jumped in the air acting like I was hurdling over one of the scout team players,” Grant said. “He didn’t

come under, but I’ve just been waiting on that all season.” Although Grant is doing pretty well for the football team, maybe he should try out for the Arizona basketball team with those hops.
The dual-threat quarterback and injuries
Quarterback Anu Solomon channeled his inner B.J. Denker against the Buffaloes, rushing for 115 yards and throwing for 211 yards and four touchdowns. The 115 yards marked a career-high for Solomon. “Anu Solomon really competed and ran well,” Rodriguez said. “His running was probably the difference for us offensively.” Solomon doesn’t like unwanted attention, but during this week, he got plenty. “His ankle has been bothering him,” Rodriguez said. “I told him to walk around campus with one of those boots on. I told him, ‘You are going to get people talking about it,’ and he said he needed a disguise. He is a tough guy, and he may not burst for 40 yards, but he made some big runs tonight, and that

Playing in its final regular-season game of the year, Arizona soccer (11-7-2, 4-6-1) fell 1-0 to archrival ASU on Friday in Tempe. For the Wildcats, the loss may hurt their postseason aspirations, which will be announced on Monday. The Sun Devils scored the game’s lone goal in the 21st minute when ASU defender Madison Stark hit a one-timer rocket into the top-right corner of the net, giving Arizona goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman no chance at the save. ASU nearly doubled its score in the 29th minute, but Arizona defender Hannah Stevens cleared a ball off the goal line after a shot by Moon got past Kaufman. The second half was back and forth between the two rivals, and Arizona’s best chance of the game came with about 30 seconds remaining. After intercepting a short goal kick by the Sun Devils, Arizona forward Alexandra Doller made a perfect lob pass into ASU’s penalty area, but forward Charlotte Brascia’s shot from point-blank range was right at ASU goalkeeper Chandler Morris. ASU was then able to run out the clock and secure some revenge for last season’s 2-0 Wildcat victory, which knocked the Sun Devils out of postseason contention. Statistically, the game was very close, with ASU outshooting UA 1514 in total shots. According to the press release, Arizona head coach Tony Amato saw the team create plenty of quality chances, but it just could not convert. “We’re disappointed in the result,” Amato said. “I thought the first half wasn’t as sharp as we would want.

UA volleyball goes 1-1 over Bay Area road trip BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat
Arizona volleyball earned a split in the Bay Area over the weekend, pushing No. 1 Stanford to five sets before sweeping California. On Friday, No. 16 Arizona lost at Stanford 25-20, 23-25, 25-16, 22-25, 15-9. Then on Sunday, the Wildcats swept California 2519, 25-19, 25-11. Outside hitter Taylor Arizobal had a season-high 17 kills on 25 swings and .600 hitting percentage. “Good win for us on the road,” Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said in a press release. “I thought [libero] Ronni [Lewis] had a breakout match today. Statistically, it probably doesn’t show up, but she did a lot of really good things for us [Sunday].” Outside hitter Madi Kingdon had 19 kills, 17 digs and 22 points in the three sets at Cal. “Madi and Taylor had really good matches,” Rubio said. “Really good weekend for us. I thought we really took a big step forward with a couple of good matches.” Lewis and setter Penina Snuka had 15 digs each as the Wildcats out-dug the Golden Bears 64-43. Arizona held Cal to .183 hitting.
Arizona’s road sweep is its third of the conference season after only one in 2012 and 2013 combined. On Friday at Stanford, Arizona rallied in the fourth set to force the winner-take-all and had a historic night. Kingdon had 25 kills and a career-high 30 digs. She was the seventh Wildcat ever to tally 30 digs. The Wildcats had 106 digs, the seventhmost in school history and three short of a season high. After Arizona and Stanford split the first two sets, 25-20 for Stanford and 25-23 for the UA , the Cardinal won the third 25-16 and was leading the fourth 14-7. However, Arizona went on an 11-2 run to take a 17-16 lead and ultimately won 25-22. Stanford won the last set 15-9, though. While Arizona just hit .140, Arizobal had 13 kills, eight of which were in the second set. After the Wildcats lost to the Cardinal 3-1 in Tucson on Oct. 10, Arizona’s first home loss of the season, they played Stanford very close. The two teams were even after the match’s first 38 points. Up next for Arizona is No. 11 Oregon at home on Thursday.

Nick Wilson has been banged up this season, Terris Jones-Grigsby has been hurt, DaVonte’ Neal has had issues with injuries and the list goes on.

I know the girls are disappointed in not finishing those chances, but we’ll learn from that and hopefully get another opportunity to be better the next time out.” Going into Friday’s game, the Wildcats were ranked No. 27 in terms of RPI, a good place to be for a potential first postseason berth since 2005. The NCAA Tournament selection show will take place Monday at 2:30 p.m., but even if the team does not make the field of 64, Amato said he believes the team has made progress in only his second season in Tucson. “We talk about building a legacy all the time, and it takes one brick at a time, and the girls have done that,” Amato said. “Whether we are in the NCAA Tournament or not, we made another step as a team, as a program, individually — we could go on and on about the progress we’re making. Hopefully, we’re in the tournament, that would be an even bigger achievement. We didn’t get the result today, but we’re hoping Monday we get another shot at it.”

Guess who’s back
Tra’Mayne Bondurant was off the team just a few months ago in August. Against Colorado, he proved his worth, scooping up a forced fumble and running it back 22 yards for an Arizona touchdown, which kicked off the UA turnover party. “When I made that touchdown, I just saw the ball bounce, and I knew I had to get it,” Bondurant said. “It’s a great feeling.” In his career, Bondurant now has four defensive touchdowns and has added 33 tackles this season. Even though he has frequently been on the injury report this season, Bondurant made sure that everybody knows he is healthy. “Physically right now, I’m OK,” Bondurant said. “I guarantee everyone on the team has some bumps and bruises, but I’m doing very well.”

Q
I have a question about mono. My potential partner told me that she contracted mono when she was 5, and now she is 30. I’ve heard that mono is inactive after several months but can randomly become active again. Is there still a chance I could get it from her even though it’s been so long since she had it?
A. Chances are, when people talk about “mono,” they are referring to infectious mononucleosis caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), not the golden age of AM radio. To further complicate the name game, mono is sometimes called “the kissing disease,” since it is transmitted by saliva and close contact. And while mono is an infectious disease – just like the flu is – it is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. Although it sparks its share of confusion, mono needn’t be a major cause for concern. In the United States, about 95% of the population is infected with it by the time they reach 40, with a large number of those infections occurring during adolescence and young adulthood. Mono can also be contracted during childhood, and early transmission is widely seen outside
the U.S. and other developed countries. EBV is so common, that you may have had a mild case of it without knowing it. The intensity of symptoms can vary widely – some people end up with what feels like a cold, while others feel drained for weeks or even months. Symptoms can include fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, and sometimes, a swollen spleen. And while there is no specific treatment for mono, most people get better within two weeks and develop immunity to future infections. As you mentioned, EBV remains dormant in the body until it intermittently reactivates in the saliva. This means it’s nearly impossible to prevent being exposed to the virus over time. As a result, it’s not practical to test a person’s saliva for EBV to prevent transmission, and not worth avoidance if this is someone you want to be with.

Divas take stage to spread love BY CHELSEA COOK The Daily Wildcat
The Sol Courtyard in Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall was transformed into an extravagant stage for the 19th annual Diva La Paz on Friday night. Put on by the residence hall staff and hall council of Colonia de la Paz, in conjunction with elMundo, this free event was aimed to raise awareness for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community on campus. Known as the Black Cat of Tucson, Ajia Simone returned to host this year’s show. Joining Simone were seven other “female illusionists” from the Tucson community. In an interview with Tucson Weekly, Simone said he prefers the term “female illusionist” as opposed to drag queen, as he considers the latter term to imply an ugly man in heels. It is these type of taboo topics Diva La Paz tried to tackle throughout the night. Before the show began, Michael Palacioz, graduate community director of Colonia de la Paz, said that participants were encouraged to take a walk through the Pride Room. The room held information about the LGBTQ community, and also had tables discussing resources and events being held at the UA for students to check out. “We will also have a table where students can sign up for Safe Zone training that is put on through LGBTQ Affairs here on campus,” Palacioz said. According to the LGBTQ Affairs official website, Safe Zone training is a way of making others more aware and accepting of the individuals who come to the university, regardless of sexual orientation. After browsing through the Pride Room, audience members took their
seats and waited for the opening acts to come out at 7 p.m. The openers consisted of dance groups and singers, and they occupied the stage until 8 p.m., which is when Simone made a grand entrance onto the stage to officially begin the show. Simone began the night with a few anecdotes regarding his time as a female illusionist, and gave a quick overview of the history of Diva La Paz. After finishing his opening monologue, Simone proceeded to start off the show with a performance, which included lip syncing, dancing and interacting with several members of the audience. The night continued like this as six other performers took the stage. Each captivated the audience, as throughout each number, attendees were laughing, recording videos, taking pictures or cheering for them. About halfway through the night, Simone came back up onto the stage dressed in church attire and gave a sermon talking about how everyone should love everybody, regardless of their gender, color, sexual orientation or anything else. At the end, all of the performers came back out onto the stage to answer any questions audience members had for them. Overall, Palacioz estimated the audience was anywhere between 350450 people, and most stayed to watch the entire show. “The show was much different from what I expected,” audience member Kyle Douglass said after the show’s conclusion. “I have never been to a drag show, and I thought it was going to be more serious than it really was. It was actually quite hilarious at most times.” — Follow Chelsea Cook @DailyWildcat
The paragon of modern television HBO may be a little late releasing its fall season premiers in November, but its content is so superior that it’s well worth the wait. Sunday night saw the return of three different series, all at different periods in their longevity; one is on the way out, one has just been renewed for a second season and the last has thankfully been resurrected from syndication for a long-overdue second season. Before embarking on these new seasons, here are some refreshers of where the characters have been and what to expect from them in their upcoming episodes:
“The Newsroom” (Season 3 — “Boston” )
Aaron Sorkin has never been shy about sharing his liberal ideologies with audiences, but his newsy drama about the ethics of modern journalism may have been too preachy for viewers to digest. Now ending the series with a short, six-episode finale, Sorkin begins by having the ACN cable-network team reporting on the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombings. Still licking their wounds from season 2 after airing a scandalous story without verifying its validity, Jeff Daniel’s Will McAvoy and his team quarrel over how they will proceed with covering late-breaking news. Though at times blatantly biased, Sorkin’s exploration of an industry’s relevancy is still packed with enough intellect and wit that’s worth a final viewing.
“Getting On” (Season 2 — “No Such Thing as Idealized Genitalia” ) When this delightful dark comedy debuted last November, it mostly flew under the radar with its quick six-episode run of hilarious satire. Returning for another
HBO
six episodes, the show continues to follow the messy unmentionables of a hospital’s geriatric ward. Identifying the absurd, bureaucratic trials that come with dying of old age, the characters of this workplace comedy teeter between showing compassion and following corporate protocol. Caught in awkward situations such as telling an elderly couple they can’t have sex in the hospital waiting room, the cast of versatile characters is expected to keep up this cumbersome humor in the coming season.
“The Comeback” (Season 2 — “Valerie Makes a Pilot”)
The unaware narcissism of washed-up sitcom star Valerie Cherish finally returns to HBO after being prematurely cancelled back in 2005. Lisa Kudrow’s brilliant character
study of Hollywood’s famemongers was a satire of reality television during its first season, and was perhaps too ahead of its time for an industry that had not yet seen the dehumanizing debacles of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” The show picks up with Cherish still attempting a comeback by trying to get cast on a prestigious HBO series with Seth Rogen , who guest stars as himself. Filled with the same post-modernistic, self-referential humor of its first season, the cult followers of the show should be delighted to see how Cherish will continue making a fool of herself almost a decade later.
