A leadership organization on campus is working on revamping its program to help more out-of-state students gain e x p e r i e n c e outside of the classroom.

A p p l i e d T a i l o r e d L e a d e r s h i p A d v e n t u r e for Success is now providing A r i z o n a L e a d e r s h i p and iPad S c h o l a r s h i p recipients with the opportunity to participate in the program for free, said Ashley Krogel , director of ATLAS .

The Arizona Leadership and iPad Scholarship is a highly competitive award offered to non-resident students based

on the merits they received in high school .

In the past, ATLAS was a standalone workshop series that anyone at the UA could sign up for. The Provost’s Leadership Academy worked

s e p a r a t e l y from ATLAS until this semester, when the academy combined with the workshop series .

“Some of the students are in tracks that focus on time m a n a g e m e n t , while others

are learning about their leadership style,” Krogel said. “They’re learning information they may not necessarily be learning in their classrooms, but it definitely relates to the success of being in college.”

The program focuses on

The Eller College of Management McGuire Entrepreneurship Program recently received a mentorship grant to help support its mentor-in-residence program.

The Dave Sitton Student Mentorship Grant is named after UA alumnus and supporter Dave Sitton , who died on Aug. 12. An anonymous donor provided the grant and automotive dealer Jim Click agreed to match the funds.

The grant, which was given to the McGuire Entrepreneur Program last Monday , will provide the resources for the program to grow while maintaining its quality, said Patricia Sias , director of the McGuire Entrepreneurship Program . With increased student interest, the

Members of Division Two of the Arizona Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments for two court cases on Wednesday at the James E. Rogers College of Law.

During the event, students will have the opportunity to watch lawyers argue both sides of the case to judges on the Court of Appeals, and the judges will ask the lawyers questions in turn.

Once both cases have been argued, judges will answer questions from audience members about the court.

Nancy Stanley , spokesperson for the College of Law , said courts have been coming to the UA to hold arguments for a long time. The event is a great learning tool for students, as it

The James E. Rogers College of Law welcomed the first two visiting assistant professors to be added to its faculty through its new program last month.

Jason Kreag and Shun-Ling Chen were selected to be the first participants in the visiting assistant professors program for the College of Law . The program brings two individuals early in their professional careers to the UA to work as assistant professors for two years, where they will teach one class per semester and work on research and legal scholarships.

“More than 70 percent of faculty that are hired into a tenure track position at U.S. law schools now come through these visiting assistant professorships,” said Marc Miller , dean of the College of Law . “We saw it as a way to reach

out to some of the really strong young scholars and teachers of the country and bring them into the law school.”

Kreag, who is teaching upper division criminal law this fall and upper division criminal

procedures in the spring , received his education from several universities, beginning with his bachelors degree at DePauw University , his masters degree at Indiana University

DISCOVER THE MEANING OF “CRISP”

Have you ever made any crisp or crispy foods?

It depends on what you want to consider crispy food. Crispy food could be a pastry that’s nice and crispy. Crisp, in another sense, could be fresh-looking, vibrant, eye-appealing. … The several meanings could be: in the eye of the beholder it [the food] looks awesome, looks great, looks fresh. … A salad can be nice and crisp, and that means it has a crunchy texture to it, a nice bite to it. Take a pickle. Pickles are always like, “Oh, look how crisp it is when you snap it.” That’s one form of saying crisp. The other form is like, it looks so bright and crisp, fresh.

So crisp is just a synonym for good or awesome?

Pretty much. … I look at it as a slang word for being awesome.

When I think of crisp, I think of something fried, crisp and crunchy. Where do you think this interchangeability comes from?

It’s the kids nowadays. I’m not sure. There are so many words that we — I don’t want to say older generation because that’ll make me feel even older than I am — but some of the old terms that we used in the old days, they’ve turned around to have meanings that we never thought of 10, 15 years ago. … Crisp could be a

photograph of somebody. It’s not just a term for being crunchy anymore. It takes multiple meanings. It could be interpreted for different things nowadays.

I was reading an essay where someone describes air as crisp in the morning, and I looked up the word “crisp” in the dictionary, and it describes it as brittle and hard, and I’m like, “Does that work for air? Can it be so brittle that it can almost break?”

It’s weird how the meaning says one thing, but we use it in so many different applications and ways nowadays. [Air] isn’t brittle. Food can be brittle. Peanut brittle, that’s crisp. There’s a crunchy aspect to it. Carrot cake, you put the crunchy peanuts on the outside, they make it crispy. … Somebody wrote that word over 100 years ago, or somewhere around there, and some years later, that word can have a lot of different meanings. As the years go by, as generations go by, the meaning changes.

Is that just the nature of language in general?As generations keep going and going, we

change our meanings for certain words to suit us, in our time here. We’re not going to follow the lead from 200 years ago.

Does that disconnect us from our past?No, because we’re still using the same words

given to us in the past. We’re just interpreting them a little bit differently. … We never settle on one word to have one meaning. One word can have 1,000 meanings. Why settle with one meaning when you can have multiple meanings?

allows them to see a court in action, Stanley said, adding that the William H. Rehnquist Center sponsors several court visits each year that are open to the public.

“We really value that the judges do that [come to the UA] for us,” Stanley said .

The first case that will be discussed, Pinal County Sheriff’s Office v. Pinal County Employee Merit Commission , involves a deputy being fired for giving a firearm to a civilian during a ride-along . The Employee Merit Commission reinstated the deputy without disciplinary action, and the Sheriff’s Department is looking to overturn that

decision. Jane Bambauer , a law

professor , said law students may end up frustrated with the case.

“A lot of students are going to go in with quite a bit of sympathy for the sheriff’s office,” Bambauer said, “and will be surprised — and helpfully educated — about how administrative law actually works.”

The second case that will be discussed is the State of Arizona v. David James Yonkman. The case looks at a suspect in a molestation case who was interrogated and released, but then returned to the police station, was interrogated again and

ultimately confessed. Yonkman is arguing that his wife coerced him into returning to the police station, so his confession should not be admissible.

Sean Estrada , a third-year law student , said it’s good for students to see real court situations being argued.

“It stops being so theoretical and

actually becomes real,” Estrada said. “You’re going to see judgments here that may actually go all the way up to the Supreme Court if they deem it necessary.”

Julia Palfreyman , also a third-year law

student , said she has gone to the event in previous years.

“It’s a neat opportunity for students to get to interact with those very important people and also to kind of see how things work,” Palfreyman said.

The event is expected to last two hours and will conclude with a question and answer panel with the judges.

“Students might have some nervousness about the work that they will do inside the courtroom,” Bambauer said, “but you can see that if you put the time in, you can prepare yourself, and it’s very encouraging that way.”

Citations for cyclists necessary for safety

BY Nick HaveYThe Daily Wildcat

“Ignoring race in admissions policies

solves few problems” by Lorraine Longhi

From employment to education, affirmative action policies are designed to improve opportunities for groups that have historically been excluded in American society. During my time at ASU, I had a teacher tell the class to always be actively thinking about diversifying our field of coverage. As a journalist, this is important for a number of reasons: Inadequate coverage of certain issues can lead to widespread and inaccurate assumptions that are taken by many to be unassailable fact.

According to a CivilRights.org report, The Washington Post, Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University published a survey in 2001 that indicates “misperceptions drive much of the opposition to affirmative action. Large numbers of white Americans incorrectly believe that African Americans are as well off as whites in terms of their jobs, incomes, schooling and health care.”

Arizona State UniversityThe State Press

Pulse of the Pac

The police have been making it a point to crack down on bicyclist and

pedestrian traffic infractions on campus. You might have seen people being pulled over on their beach cruisers and given a ticket for running a stop sign, which is a necessary step for the University of Arizona Police Department to take to keep students safe.

Since the beginning of the school year, UAPD has issued 231 bicycle citations and six pedestrian citations for traffic infractions. UAPD has also responded to 57 accidents involving bikes, pedestrians and cars that resulted in injury.

While I am admittedly a very aggressive pedestrian, there is no reason I should be hit by a bike on a sidewalk. But somehow, in my year and a half at the UA, I’ve been hit by four bicyclists — three of whom were willfully riding their bikes on narrow sidewalks and one who turned too tight and crashed into the bench I was sitting on. Although I’ve been lucky to escape serious injury, not everyone can say the same.

In 2011, a UA student walking in a crosswalk near the Nugent building was struck by a careless bicyclist and knocked into the street. She hit her head on the curb as she fell, causing massive trauma. Emergency Medical Technicians said the victim sustained serious brain damage and fell into a coma. The injuries forced her to drop out of the UA, according to Jon Heine, a retired UA professor who knew the student through his advising role for the International Student Association club.

The truth is, if you’re careless enough to breeze through a stop sign on your bike or hop a curb, potentially endangering pedestrians, you deserve that ticket. The sidewalks of campus should be treated with the same respect as our roads and highways. Citations will ensure that everyone uses a little more caution, which is important to the safety of our campus.

Police officers are cracking down on bicyclists all over the country for their traffic infractions. The New York City Police Department is citing far more cyclists than ever before — Brooklyn and its precincts saw an estimated 81 percent increase in citations just this year.

“Although I don’t like their presence [officers], seeing them makes me a safer and more alert bicyclist,” said Khoianh Nguyen, a biochemistry sophomore.

Title 28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes states that bicyclists are subject to the same traffic laws as vehicles while on roadways or near other vehicles or pedestrians. Citations can range from $25-$190, which is comparable to the penalty for running a red light in a motor vehicle.

“If you get a ticket, it’s for your own good,” said Sgt. Filbert Barrera, UAPD’s public information officer. “We’d stop UAPD employees if they were caught running a stop sign. It’s all about prevention and safety.”

No one should have to worry about being struck by a bike while walking to class, and if the threat of a $100 ticket forces you to halt at stop signs in the future, it is a small price to pay to prevent the injuries and accidents that could be caused if you didn’t.

“Where in the world is CU’s diversity?” by Ellis

Arnold“How do you think you could

enrich our diverse and inclusive community?”

That’s the question CU asked me (and probably many of you) to answer last year as we sat down to write our college application essays.

When I got here, I quickly noticed that my residence hall floor was anything but diverse. OK, maybe that’s just coincidence, I thought. The next day I took my first couple trips to the C4C, where again I found little diversity. Then I went to my first class, and the second, and the third, fourth and fifth. Wait, CU has diversity? Where?

We all can help CU’s diversity grow by being an accepting and welcoming campus.

“US college rankings don’t show full story” by

Danni WangMany people love to consult top

10 lists of everything from songs to restaurants to help them make decisions. These rankings, however, create definitive quality and value, making the subjective “best,” “sub-par” and “worst” very black and white. But the case is very different when it comes to collegiate rankings.

Princeton might be the top college in the nation, and an acceptance definitely symbolizes achievement, but that does not necessarily mean that Princeton is the top college for every rising freshman in the nation.

When a hierarchy is imposed upon something as vital as education, especially high-stakes, high-price higher education, it creates a mindset that fixates more on numbers and standings and less about the collegiate experience.

“Expanding coverage for all” by Keith Nevitt

and Vishaal PeganySince the Patient Protection and

Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, was signed into law March 23, 2010, the American public has endured a nearly endless and often vicious debate at every level of society.

Recent polls indicate that 44 percent of Americans are still uncertain about the status of the law and that only about a third are actively seeking more information about it. In a less-than-scientific experiment, Jimmy Kimmel recently sent his staff out to ask everyday Americans how they felt about Obamacare vs. the ACA (hint: They’re exactly the same).

The way that people attack Obamacare but laud the ACA in the sketch speaks to the polarized environment in which we live. As consumers begin to more directly experience the ACA’s benefits and consumer protections, we hope the conversation will become more constructive, honest and informed.

In response to “ASUA, GPSC members at odds following proposal confusion” (by Brittny Mejia, Oct. 3)

My name is Priscilla Teran. I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona in Library Science and I am a single mom of two amazing children who are the reason I came back to graduate school. I want to be able to give my children a better, more comfortable life than what I had growing up. Higher education is the vehicle I will use in order to make that happen.

I have been an outsider in the ASUA [Associated Students of the University of Arizona]/GPSC [Graduate and Professional Student Council] debate. In the last couple of weeks, I have seen DW articles

that don’t really explain the situation to anyone trying to make an informed decision. All I have seen the Wildcat do is make the issue about Zachary Brooks, the GPSC graduate student body president, and Morgan Abraham, the ASUA student body president. No offense to either of them, as they seem like perfectly nice guys, but I don’t really care about what he-said or he-said. I have bigger issues to think about, like how I will be able to continue with my program, get good grades, fund my research projects and still be able to feed my children at the end of the day.

I have nothing against ASUA or their Senators; in fact, I thank them for their service. As an undergraduate they were much better situated to represent me. At this point in time, I want individuals that have been in my shoes to be able to advocate for me. I am surprised that the DW didn’t publish the fact that the presidents of the Student Bar Association, the UA Medical School Tucson Campus, the UA Medical School Phoenix Campus, the UA College of Science, the Eller College of Management and the UA College of Pharmacy signed on to a petition supporting the bylaw change that GPSC is asking for. This issue is not about who made the latest political faux pas or who said what about who. This issue is about the quality of life of over 8,500 people and their families, who deserve to be represented by those that understand and care about their livelihoods. As far as I can tell due to the lack of action, ASUA doesn’t.

Catching some Z’sUniversity of Arizona Police Department officers arrested a

UA student for a minor in possession on Thursday at 8 a.m. UAPD officers received a call that a student was lying on the

ground between two residence halls on campus. When they went to the area, they found him passed out next to a utility box in a walled-off area between the two residence halls.

Officers had to shake the student several times and shout at him before he woke up.

The student told the officers he had been at another residence hall before he passed out. He wasn’t injured, but said he was confused and didn’t know where he was or how he had gotten there. He admitted he drank vodka shots earlier that evening at a house off campus.

The officers could smell alcohol on his breath and noticed he had bloodshot, watery eyes.

UA Student Emergency Medical Services and the Tucson Fire Department soon arrived to make sure the student didn’t need medical attention.

The student refused any further evaluation or medical treatment.

He admitted to an officer that he had been at court the day before for charges of a minor in possession he had received earlier in the semester, for which he was sent through diversion.

The student then asked the officer to give him a sobriety test, and a breath test showed there was alcohol present in his body.

The student was arrested, given a court date and released. A referral to the Dean of Students Office was also completed on his behalf.

Popped a MollyA UA student was taken from her dorm room to the University

of Arizona Medical Center for signs of extreme intoxication on Wednesday at 1:21 a.m.

An on-call resident assistant and hall resident assistant contacted UAPD officers after they learned that the student was sick.

UAPD officers and TFD personnel arrived at the residence hall at the same time. When emergency officials got to the student’s residence hall, they found that UA SEMS was already there evaluating the student.

As the student spoke to medical personnel, officers noticed there was vomit next to her. She seemed to be very drunk.

The student said that she drank too much alcohol that night and had also taken a Molly.

The student’s friends, who were in the room, said they had been with her that night, partying at a nearby student apartment complex. They said they knew that drugs were at the party but didn’t know that the student had taken any until she told medical personnel.

After evaluating the student, TFD decided she should be taken to UAMC for medical care.

The student was not arrested, but was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a diversion program.

Left behindUAPD officers referred a UA student to a diversion program

for minor in possession of alcohol in body on Sunday at 12:16 a.m.

The officers were patrolling campus streets looking for suspicious activity when two UA students flagged them down and told them there was a student on a curb who “looked like he wasn’t doing too good.”

One officer went to go and find the student, while the other stayed with the two reporting students. The student sitting on the curb had his head between his legs and had apparently just vomited.

The officer found that the student was asleep and tried to wake him up to ask him if he was doing OK. When the officer asked for the third time, the student woke up suddenly and declared that he was fine.

He said he was 18 years old and was confused why his friends had let him go off by himself. The officer gave him a preliminary breath test, which showed there was alcohol in his system.

The student then staggered to a cab that was there to pick him up and take him back to his residence hall.

Officers referred the student to the Dean of Students Office for diversion.

Printing the news, sounding the alarm,and raising hell since 1899

sponsorship of mentors will potentially allow the program to increase its size, she added.

“We are very grateful for the support; I think it’s well placed with our mentors,” Sias said. “We wouldn’t have the quality program we have now if it wasn’t for the mentors-in-residence.”

Noted as the “crown jewel” of the UA by USA Today and The Princeton Review, the McGuire E n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p Program currently caters to 81 undergraduate and graduate students and is open to all majors. The two mentors-in-residence provide the guidance and one-on-one support that each student in the program needs to become a successful entrepreneur, Sias said.

Currently in his fourth year as a mentor for the program, Emre Toker said he has loved every moment of his experience.

“Interacting with the students and getting to share in their enthusiasm and passion and their intelligence — everything that goes along with being a young and ambitious student — has been my favorite,” Toker said.

According to Sias, the experiential nature of the program differentiates it from other entrepreneurship programs throughout the

nation. The learning experience is more hands-on; rather than taking classes and participating in simulations, students have the opportunity to actually become entrepreneurs during their yearlong experience.

Bryce Keffeler, a finance and entrepreneurship senior in the program, said he was drawn in by the idea of creating a new venture, while also having the opportunity to work closely with other students and a mentor with an interest in his ideas.

“First, you get into groups and meet the mentors,” Keffeler said. “After your groups collaborate to make a presentation on the idea you want to carry out, the mentors select who they want to work with for the rest of the year.”

The McGuire Entrepreneurship Program provides a way for students to learn about the principles of entrepreneurship. Sias

said the core of the program is a yearlong new venture development course team-taught by the mentors-in-residence.

“What they end up with at the end of the year is something an investor might be interested in,” Sias said, “and I’d say, every year, about 25 to 30 percent of our teams actually start the businesses they create.”

— Indianapolis and his juris doctorate at Harvard Law.

Kreag’s professional career includes work as a law clerk in New York and as a litigation associate in Atlanta, Ga.

“I’m just starting my academic career Kreag said, “and I’m overly excited that U of A started this program to help people like me get some initial training, focus on our scholarship and hopefully take the next step to full-time positions.”

Chen has an international education background, as she graduated with her bachelor of laws and master of laws at the National Taiwan University College of Law. Chen went on to receive degrees from Harvard University and Harvard Law School.

Chen’s professional career includes editing for and contributing to publications for various organizations and international work experience.

As part of the program, assistant professors do research in a specific field and create and publish written works. Kreag’s research includes working in criminal law, his specialty, concentrating on how and when defendants should get access to the DNA database. Chen’s research will include publishing articles revised from her doctoral dissertation on joint authorship in copyright law.

“Both have been doing a fantastic job

and are fully a part of the community,” Miller said. “While it is ultimately a decision for the faculty, I think it’s very likely we will continue with the VAP program because everything thus far has reaffirmed the decision to do so in the first place.”

out-of-state students so they can have an opportunity to meet other students and learn about the Tucson community, developing leadership skills in the process. Students benefit from this program by learning different skills that can help them become better leaders on campus.

The program is not just available for first-year, out-of-state students. Anyone interested in the specific tracks ATLAS offers can enroll in some of the workshops or in the entire program, which includes the three certificate options: bronze, silver and gold.

Participants can earn higher-level certificates by attending more workshops and participating in experiential activities after the workshops. The program offers 10 different tracks, which include topics like leadership skills and applications, professional development and emotional intelligence.

Students in a social justice workshop about stereotypes were asked to write down three adjectives based on what first came to mind when they viewed photos of people. This workshop was used to engage

students about stereotypes and how they affect their everyday assumptions about people.

“[The workshop] opened my eyes to different stereotypes and how I can overcome them and be more open-minded about them,” said Uriel Gutierrez, a pre-retailing and consumer sciences freshman.

Farah Kilani, a pre-business freshman, said she enjoyed her first workshop and looks forward to the rest of the program.

“I like that we’re a group of different people with a common goal,” Kilani said. “Although this is my first workshop, I am hoping to learn a lot from the program.”

ATLAS plans on changing the program even more next year by offering class credit for the workshop and project areas, Krogel said.

“Our hope is that by attaching the credit hour, we can see more students excited about the program,” she said.

The program costs $25 for students who didn’t receive the Arizona Leadership and iPad Scholarship. ATLAS workshop subject areas include event planning, wellness and leadership, principles of leadership, social justice leadership, professional development and many more.

“We’re continuing to modify ATLAS and striving to make it even more engaging for students,” said Rebecca Hynes, a senior studying linguistics and anthropology and an ATLAS workshop facilitator. “We’re

trying to make it so these workshops can be the best that they can be.”

Q&Q&QA&A&

Wildcat hockey third-year assistant coach Larry Desmond knows how to deal with physical pain. Desmond, 62 , had to get about 100 stitches in his face during his college hockey days playing for Harvard’s NCAA Division I program.

However, the scariest moment in Desmond’s hockey career came last weekend, while the team was in Tempe to face ASU. After a doctor discovered retina tears in his right eye, Desmond had no choice but to have surgery performed in Phoenix.

Had he not, Desmond may have been blinded for life in his right eye.

The Daily Wildcat : When did you first know there was a problem with your sight?

Desmond: I got on the ice [Friday morning], and it was like a gray veil covering my right eye and I couldn’t see very much at all through it. So I stayed on the side during practice, and I just tossed the pucks back because I could still see with my other eye. I was told it wasn’t something I should fool around with, but I went to the [Friday night] game anyway because I could see out of one eye and I wasn’t in any kind of pain.

When did you decide to go see a doctor?

I got up the next morning and thought, “Well, I got time.” So I ran over to the ER in Scottsdale[, Ariz.] and they put me through a bunch of tests. The doctor said he’d like me to go see an optometrist. He told me I had some bleeding in my eye. But [the optometrist] said, “I only look at the front of the eye. I’d like you to make one more stop and see a retinal specialist to look at the back of the eye.”

So you had to see a third doctor?

Yes, and the third doctor looked at my eye and said, “Oh my gosh, you have a couple tears in your retina.” He said, “You’re bleeding, so we can do one of two things — normally, we use a laser, but because of all the blood in there already, which is keeping you from seeing, we do this freezing thing.”

What was your initial reaction?

I asked if I could just let all the blood drain out and wait until I get back to Tucson and

the doctor said, “No, this is an emergency, and we need to do it now.” He told me if my retina becomes detached , I could possibly lose sight in my right eye. So I did it right in his office, and it took about an hour or two.

How has your eye healed since the surgery?

I was told I couldn’t do anything for at least 10 days — no hockey, no workouts, no alcohol. I’m probably at 25 percent, so I’m not going to be able to go to Liberty , and I don’t know about the following weekend. I’m going to see the doctor in three weeks. It’s depending [on] how I feel because I got one eye, and the other eye is improving slowly, but it’s almost swollen shut and looks pretty gruesome. It looks a little bit like Halloween came early for me [laughs].

What have you missed most about being away from coaching the team?

We have a really improved team this year, and I think we’re going to have a lot of success, so I want to be a part of it. It’s a fun family feeling we have here, and [head] coach [Sean] Hogan runs a really nice program. All the kids have questions for coach [Dave] Dougall and I, and our answers are always, “Hogan hockey.” So, we explain to them where they’re supposed to be and how they’re supposed to react to certain situations.

The Arizona men’s golf team finished 12th at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate on Tuesday at the Old Overton Country Club in Vestavia Hills, Ala.

Senior Erik Oja stood out throughout the tournament, finishing with a total of 212 (+2) .

Oja moved from a tie for 27th with a total of 146 (+6) on Monday, making him the top performer for the Wildcats. He finished with a tie for 8th after having the best round on the field on Tuesday.

The finish is Oja’s third top-10 effort in his four starts of the season so far.

After Oja’s effort on the course on Tuesday, head coach Jim Anderson said in a press release that he was pleased with Oja’s performance on the course.

“Erik is among the best in college golf, and he continues to prove that on the course,” Anderson said. “His round today is just another example of the fact that he can compete with anyone.”

Anderson also said that those on the team are happy for Oja, and they hope he will continue to use events like the Jerry Pate Intercollegiate to build confidence for the future.

The Wildcats as a whole, however, struggled on Monday.“[Tuesday] was a very frustrating day for us, but this team

is learning to fight,” Anderson said in a press release. “We’ve had guys struggle at times, but it affected everyone [Tuesday] and made for a challenging day.”

Senior Benson Liu finished 56th (228) , junior Alex McMahon finished 58th (234), junior Tucker Wadkins was 59th (236) and senior Christian Colegrove finished 60th (242) .

After starting the tournament in 57th , Liu was able to improve to 56th place.

The team will participate at the Herb Wimberley Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M., from Oct. 21 to 22 .

SENIOR ERIK OJA finished eighth at the Jerry Pate Intercollegiate in Vestavia Hills, Ala., on the par-70 course.

With word that Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez’s surgery was a success, Arizona’s baseball program was able to return its focus to the task at hand: preparing for the upcoming season and for a chance to return to the College World Series. Tuesday’s baseball media day gave some insight as to where the leadership will come from this upcoming season.

A year and a half after the Wildcats won the national title, only nine of 34 players who were on the 2012 College World Series Championship roster stood on the field, as Tuesday’s media day marked the beginning of the countdown to the spring season.

Senior James Farris and juniors Mathew Troupe and Joseph Maggi are three experienced returners who are expected to lead the team after the Wildcats lost five to the MLB First-Year Players Draft.

Troupe said he believes that this year’s team is in a much better position than last year’s due to a larger class of experienced juniors.

“We don’t have very many seniors, but we do have a good amount of juniors,” Troupe said. “I think a huge reason as to why we missed out on the postseason last year was leadership. There was a huge difference [in direction and performance] from when we had the big chunk of juniors my freshman year in comparison to what we had last year.”

Farris explained how Kurt Heyer became his role model during his sophomore season and even said that Heyer was probably the reason he got his job as a starter.

“His work ethic really rubbed off on me, the pitching staff and the whole team,” Farris said. “Heyer is definitely a person I look up to, even to this day. He led by example, and you could just see how hard he worked. His work ethic was very contagious.”

Maggi said he is eager to be a leader this season and show new freshmen what it takes to succeed in a Division I program.

“It’s pretty crazy now that I’m a junior. I’m expecting increased leadership and production from myself,” Maggi said. “I’m excited to take on more of a leadership role and work on consistency so

that I can perfect small details. I’m expecting some great things from the younger guys this year.”

Troupe shared how influential the upperclassmen in his freshman year were and said he is excited to be a role model for the incoming players.

“As an underclassman, with all the older guys my freshman year, it was just about learning the ropes,” Troupe reminisced with a smile. “They really took control and took the younger guys under their wing. Now, I have to jump into that position and try to fill the shoes of the [Alex] Mejias and the [Robert] Refsnyders and the Heyers. Now that’s my job.”

FILE PHOTO/THE DAILY WILDCAT USC AND ARIZONA have split their last four meetings. The Wildcats won 39-36 last year.

USC PREVIEW

NOT MISSIN’ KIFFIN

USC fired head coach Lane Kiffin after a 62-41 loss to ASU on Sept. 28. Interim coach Ed Orgeron will attempt to give the Trojans their first Pac-12 win — but a loss to Washington State early in the season and an uncomfortably close win over Utah State showed USC was not worthy of its preseason ranking of No. 24.

Although he left early, it’s safe to say Kiffin started out the season shaky. But Orgeron comes with a not-so-promising 10-25 record from his time coaching Mississippi.

USC has certainly seen better days, and the Wildcats may be facing the broken team at just the right time.

THE LEE’S KNEES

Speaking of broken, USC junior receiver Mar-qise Lee has a sprained left knee and is likely to miss the game. Like UA running back Ka’Deem Carey , Lee is an All-American. One less All-American on the Trojan roster is no doubt an advantage for Arizona.

Last season against Arizona, Lee caught 16 passes for 345 yards , setting a Pac-12 record . But the Wildcats still pulled off a 39-36 win over the Trojans.

Even if Lee is in good enough health to play Thursday, the Wildcats need not fret. Carey is hungry for those 2,000 rushing yards and what could be his eighth 100-yard outing in a row.

The UA can still snag a win; Lee just might make it slightly harder if he plays

AN IMPROVED DEFENSE

Last season, you wouldn’t have heard talk about Arizona’s defense being its saving grace. That is, if there was any talk about the 118th ranked NCAA team out of 120 in total defense.

The Wildcats have seven total interceptions under their belt this season. Freshman outside linebacker Scooby Wright and USC safety Dion Bailey both lead their teams with 28 tackles. Bailey has recorded two interceptions , but what the USC defensive leader does not have is three interceptions with two returned for touchdowns , like UA junior safety Tra’Mayne Bondurant.

While USC is more of a defensive than offen-sive team, Arizona was able to beat the Trojans last year, and with a stronger defense comes stronger chances.

BY MEGAN COGHLANThe Daily Wildcat

BY JAMES KELLEYThe Daily Wildcat

NOTHING TO LOSE

If an underachieving team firing its coach at the start of a bye week before a Thursday game sounds familiar, that’s because it is.

In 2011, after Arizona fired head coach Mike Stoops , interim head coach Tim Kish led Arizona to a 48-12 win over UCLA on a Thursday night to snap a 10-game losing streak to FBS teams after a 10-day break.

The Wildcats played loose under Kish. Maybe the Trojans will, too, under their interim head coach Ed Orgeron .

Who knows — maybe even a streaker dressed as an official will run onto the field

and a brawl will erupt?

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME

In his first game against a good team, at Washington, UA senior quarterback B.J. Denker did not impress.

Denker, who is from Southern California , was 14-for-35 passing with 119 yards , with two interceptions and a 57.1 passer rating .

Maybe it was the rain or the step up in competition, but Denker struggled mightily against Washington and didn’t exactly dominate NAU, UNLV and UTSA .

Denker is 122nd in passing in the NCAA , with 445 in four games.

GETTING DEFENSIVE

Even when you factor in the 62 points and 612 yards that the Trojans gave up at ASU in their last game , USC still has a stout defense.

Southern California is second in the conference in total defense , first in rushing defense , fifth in pass defense , fourth in pass defense efficiency , third in interceptions , second in sacks and second in opponent first downs.

The Trojans may be short on scholarships, and their coaching staff isn’t at full strength anymore, but they’re still USC. They may look like they’re reeling, but they still have talent.

Rusted metal almost a century old lines the bar in The Shed, the largest dining area of Aussie Cantina, a new restaurant on East Sixth Street. A gas tank from the 1940s hangs on the wall adjacent to the bar and a long wooden table, blue-green from ocean water, gives the room an outdoorsy feel.

Aussie Cantina opened to the public on Monday, making it the newest pub restaurant to open near the UA. Located at 1118 E. Sixth St., the cantina offers the UA community a new hangout spot to have drinks, eat and listen to live local music on the weekends.

A wide doorway leads into the center room of the restaurant, which opens out to a patio near the street, through a garage door. At the west end of the restaurant, a more private family room offers visitors a coffee table, a fireplace, couches and a smaller bar.

Ralph Avella, co-owner and manager of Aussie Cantina, said he’s dreamed of opening his own place for 15 to 20 years. About a year ago, his longtime friend Melissa McBeth introduced him to Glenn Murphy, a native Australian with an extensive career in music and restaurant management. After their first lunch together, the two teamed up and worked toward opening the cantina.

“It was a no-brainer for me when I thought, ‘Who would work well with another person?’” McBeth said. “Now that it is a reality, I think they’re going to be one of the funnest places to go near the U of A.”

Avella and Murphy spent much of the past year breaking down walls and finding creative ways to give the restaurant the proper flow so that it would feel like one business, while still being separated into a more laid-back hangout room and a more polished room.

The restaurant-pub puts an Australian twist on foods like tacos, burgers and seafood. Avella and the head chef researched Australian foods, prepared them and had Murphy taste-test before the dishes were finalized, Avella said. Hatch green chili and caramelized onions appear in many of the cantina’s dishes.

“What we want to be known as is ‘legit,’”

Avella said. “We have items on the menu that are true blue Aussie style.”

A photograph of an outdoor bar on the coast near Perth, Australia, covers the

east wall of The Shed. The photograph of people drinking and gambling shows the kind of environment the owners hope visitors find when they visit the cantina. A small stage in the corner of the room will host local bands, mostly indie pop and country.

Avella, a UA alumnus with degrees in

sociology and Italian, has been working in the restaurant business for 25 years, with a long career of waiting, bartending and managing restaurants around Tucson. Tina Roefler, Avella’s sister, said she’s proud of what her brother has accomplished in the past year.

“He always knew he was going to stay in Tucson and make a difference,” Roefler said. “I’m very proud of the concept of it all.”

U.S.-Mexico border issues are extremely close to the hearts and minds of many who live in Southern Arizona, but the border itself seems like an abstract concept. This Thursday, photographers Alejandra Platt-Torres and David Taylor will present their work in a forum at the Center for Creative Photography to showcase the varied perspectives they encountered during their extensive time photographing the border.

The impetus for this talk is “A World Separated by Borders,” an exhibit at the Arizona State Museum that showcases the work of the two photographers. Platt-Torres’ work depicts the cyclical nature of undocumented crossings, according to Margaret Regan, a co-curator of the exhibit.

Taylor has devoted years to documenting the border, though often from a different perspective, as he has gained access to the U.S. Border Patrol,

an agency Taylor said most Americans know little about.

“There are Border Patrol agents that are really concerned about the people they are supposed to be catching,” Taylor said.

Taylor spent hours with agents observing their everyday task of patrolling the border, and in the process gained “a view that’s more than a manicured PR view,” he said.

Since his time photographing the border, Taylor said he’s learned that the conflicts that take place there can’t be laid out in black and white.

“The complexity of the border is portrayed in a monolithic way, with good guys and bad guys,” Taylor said. “The truth is significantly more

complicated, variable and gray.”The exhibit at the Arizona State Museum puts

a face on the issue — the first thing visitors see is a large photograph of the harsh Arizona landscape.

According to Regan, Arizona has been a major crossing point for the past dozen years. Regan, who has reported on the border since 2000, said she has noticed some drastic changes in her time.

“It’s very dramatic and tragic. … Even though numbers of people crossing have dropped, the numbers of death have not changed,” she said. “This means that the absolute risk of death has raised. It used to be that a man would walk 5 miles to the border

and a car would pick him up. Now, they hike five days.”

Regan said that in the past decade she also noticed a change in the type of people who cross over, adding that she now sees more people who

have already been deported and are attempting to make another crossing to be reunited with families in the U.S. Before, she said, most border crossers were young men.

Davison Koenig, exhibits curator at Arizona State Museum, said he believes that Platt-Torres and Taylor’s types of photography are important for creating an informed dialogue on the border.

“I think it’s great we have the opportunity to host it here and the opportunity to share it,” Koenig said. “This is a hot topic; it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”

Janet Livingstone, an administrative assistant at the Center for Creative Photography, said she is excited to be hosting the talk this Thursday.

“I think it’s important we explore all of the border issues,” she said. “It’s something current and relevant because of our area.”

The forum will take place this Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the Center for Creative Photography auditorium. Admission is free.

This weekend, the School of Music will celebrate two of the 20th century’s most important, but lesser known, composers.

The school’s Barber & Britten Music + Festival will honor American composer Samuel Barber and British composer Benjamin Britten, both of whom, event organizers said, are best known for not being well-known.

Performances throughout the weekend will include the UA Wind Ensemble, the Arizona Choir, the Arizona Symphony Orchestra and various solo artists. Additionally, the Fox Tucson Theatre will host a screening at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday of “Moonrise Kingdom,” the score for which was written by Britten.

Daniel Asia, a professor of composition and the festival’s organizer, said he believes that these two particular composers are underappreciated because they hardly get a mention in music history, despite the impact their music has had.

“Both wrote music we consider part of the repertoire,” Asia said, “but they didn’t make it into the story.”

Though they are not well-known, those who have experienced their music have many positive things to say.

“They are amazing composers,” said Thomas Cockrell, the conductor of the Arizona Symphony Orchestra, “Both have very lyrical styles. … They are very approachable and easy to listen to, but are challenging at the same time.”

Organizers said the festival is a collaborative effort that brings together people from all areas of study in the School of Music, while also presenting a unique challenge for musicians.

“These pieces are very

challenging and virtuosic,” said Bruce Chamberlain, director of choral activities and conductor for the Arizona Choir, which will perform at the festival. “It presents the Tucson concert-going public with the opportunity to get immersed in the work of [these] composers.”

The festival includes a symposium and a variety of large group pieces as well as smaller, more intimate chamber pieces designed for musicians from various concentrations.

“It’s rare to find a festival situation where you find such diversity of the music of one composer,” Asia said.

Glen Gross, a senior trumpet performance major who will be playing in the festival, said he enjoys the change of pace.

“It gives you a chance to get inside the composer and understand how they think,” he said.

The Barber & Britten Music + Festival is special not only because the music is beautiful, but also because the festival will play host to a distinguished guest performer, Jeremy Huw Williams, a baritone singer from Wales.

“This is the first time we’ve had a foreign performer at the festival,” Asia said. “[Williams] is a fabulous, fabulous singer.”

The festival has taken place annually for the past six years, and aims to celebrate the music of 20th- and 21st-century composers, who Asia said need more attention.

“With the country going to hell, the government shutting down, it’s a great chance to hear great music and put our mind on something more exalted than what’s on the news,” Gross said.
