Everyone has his or her go-to food “fix.” Some crave the salti-ness that can only be found in

greasy potato chips. Others find their sweet tooth unsatisfied until that first bite of a moist cupcake.

But restaurant The Fix , new on University Boulevard, is already see-ing success in sating the appetites of UA students with substantial portions of good ol’ mac ‘n’ cheese.

“Who doesn’t like mac ‘n’ cheese?” said freshman Maddi Wisler , who was drawn to The Fix for its home-cooked quality and gluten-free pasta options.

The Fix is known as Arizona’s mac ‘n’ cheese headquarters, as no other restaurant in the state specializes in the dish, nor offers as big a selection of mac ‘n’ cheese varieties.

But for those who are skeptical about the specialty mac ‘n’ cheese restaurant, as I was, you are in for a surprise.

Mac ‘n’ cheese might be naively equated with the go-to meal that baby-sitters fix from a blue cardboard box. The dish had certainly never seemed

culinary to me and so I went into this assignment with preconceived notions of a rudimentary, satisfying meal.

What awaited me was something truly unique.

“The All-American,” recommended as the go-to for first timers, was per-fectly baked with a crunchy blended cheese topping. Submerged beneath

the cheesy layer was creamy elbow pasta paired with a secret spice blend that complemented the cheese and added something special.

All the mac ‘n’ cheeses are made from scratch with fresh ingredients

GO ENJOY 2

On the last day of summer, a real treat was in store for any Tucsonans who happened to be in the know.

At the Fox Tucson Theatre, on a hot afternoon, a cool respite was available on Congress Street downtown. As part of the Fox Theatre’s series of classic film showings, the 1973 classic “The Sting” was playing. On all levels, the experience was fantastic.

“The Sting” would be fun enough to watch on a tiny black-and-white TV, but the venue of this particular showing made the movie really come alive. To both newcomers and native Tucsonans, the Fox Theatre should be at the very top of your places-to-go list.

Opened in 1930, the Fox is a good old-fashioned movie house — tremendous, beautiful and classy. You can even sit on a balcony in the huge, high-ceilinged viewing room. Upstairs is a lounge and plenty of concessions, as well as memorabilia for interested parties. Check out the schedule and attend concerts, comedian acts and even a ballet — but nothing compares to the magic of watching a film in the grand type of venue it was made to be shown in.

In choosing “The Sting,” the Fox created the perfect marriage of film and venue. Set in 1936, there’s a real feeling that if the characters in “The Sting” had been in Tucson they might have stopped at the Fox if they wanted to catch a flick.

For those unfamiliar with the story, Robert Redford plays a petty con man who hits a courier for a big time mobster, played by Robert Shaw.

When his partner is killed by the vengeful mob, Redford’s character seeks out a master of the “big con,” played by Paul Newman, to take his revenge by pulling the biggest con of their lives.

A series of twists and turns ensues that leaves most people pleasantly scratching their heads until the end, when the con men spring what is perhaps the best sting in all of cinema history on the mobster, the cops and the audience.

“The Sting” is just plain fun from start to finish. Watching grifters at work in a gloriously grimy 1930s Illinois is the best kind of vicarious living you can ever experience.

The banter and action are funny, and the affable nonchalance of the con men is surprisingly believable. Their devil-may-care attitude plays well against the toughness of Shaw’s character and his mob, and the intricate planning and occasional furious improvisation are both a cerebral treat and a guilty pleasure. Even for those audience members who pride themselves on solving puzzles, the perfect structure of Redford and Newman’s con makes it incredibly hard to crack. Don’t sweat it too much, though, because getting stung by “The Sting” is more than half the fun.

I’ve always been a firm believer that video games are an absolute good. Movies, art, music and story are all engaging, but with games there is an extra layer of interactivity. That aspect of control is what seems to appeal to people so much. But it’s also what makes people question whether some games lead players to cross certain lines in real life – namely violent, socially destructive ones.

As Supreme Court case Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association showed, however, there’s no hard evidence that this is the case. When California Sen. Leland Yee tried to restrict which games could be sold to children because of the alleged effect the vio-lence had on them, Supreme Court justices voted 7-2 against his asser-tions.

So then video games are all good? Well, maybe.

That case and most arguments that video games are something bad revolve around physical violence. What is largely ignored, though, is the psychological aspect. How play-ers interact with other players is a far better indication of how video games change a player’s psyche than how players act toward pre-programmed non-playable charac-ters.

“World of Warcraft” is probably the best place to start looking at how players treat each other, with mil-lions of people logging on every day from all across the globe. Frequent players are fully aware of the pres-

ence of “griefers” – people who con-stantly stalk or otherwise harass a player in-game for no apparent rea-son – and “trolls” – basically bored people who say inflammatory things to get a reaction out of people too headstrong to ignore them. These types are everywhere, and they have driven many players away for good.

That’s still doesn’t qualify as depraved, though. At worst a player kills another’s character, which they can revive quickly with minimal penalties.

What about a slightly more realis-tic setting, like “Minecraft”? Kotaku recently reported on an experi-ment where 30 players were put in a closed server environment for two months.

During that time, resources were extremely limited in a way that almost mirrored the scarcity of the Earth in the near future. Players immediately started strip mining, and when supplies ran too low alli-ances began forming. According to the post, some players started grief-ing the others, using up even more supplies.

Around five weeks in, others retreated to an endless maze of tunnels to avoid the conflict. At this point people discovered giant chasms they’d made from over-mining. Fighting continued and resources were flat out lost as they fell into the lava beneath the chasms they’d accidently cre-ated.

Their virtual world was basically reduced to nothing before these groups finally came together and worked as one unit. But how would the subjects have reacted if they’d been given a world with a normal amount of resources? Would it have made a difference, or would they have let the situation decayed to the same state?

While it’s riveting to observe the striking realism in these test subjects’ behavior in “Minecraft,”

there’s an even more disturbing example of human beings debas-ing one another in forms of cheap entertainment.

“Day Z” is a multiplayer open world survival horror mod for “ARMA II,” a 2009 military simula-tion. It basically turns the entire game into a realistic, zombie-filled world where players need to do things like eat and drink to survive, instead of only fighting against the undead.

The root of the depravity: play-ers can kill each other, and often do, for supplies and even for sport. Groups will lure supply-poor play-ers with promises of ammunition and sustenance, often killing them in a myriad of different and humili-ating ways. What’s worse, it differs from “World of Warcraft,” where players get to come back without heavy punishment – if a player dies in “Day Z,” they come back with next to nothing, reducing hours of work to naught as a result of some-one’s whim.

Are any of these behaviors neces-sary? Not at all. But do these games turn otherwise innocent people into griefing, greedy, murderous jerks? Absolutely not.

The true fault lies in the people who play these games, and people have to start placing the blame there. Certain games may attract people who are violent, or socio-pathic, but a game is just a game. Issues may manifest as a result of playing the game, but there’s no way to determine how a player will abuse the system that’s in place. For every person harassing someone, there’s another helping, too.

What it all boils down to is this: the way players interact with each other in a video game brings out their true nature. When there are no real-life consequences for their actions, a person’s true col-ors show, and a game only affects what’s already inside someone.

GAME FREAK

Conventional entertainment, acquired legally, is sometimes hard to come by on a college bud-get. That’s why podcasts are tailor-made for college students. Podcasts are fun, interesting, sometimes humorous — and best of all, almost always free. If you’ve got a long drive, a bus ride or a boring job, a podcast can be a great companion. Here are some good ones to start with:

Doug Loves MoviesDoug Benson is probably best known for his

love of marijuana. But Doug also loves movies, and “Doug Loves Movies” is his venue to express that. More a game show than anything else, Doug and his guests chat for a while and then play numerous movie-themed games, including the Leonard Maltin game, a sort of “Name That Tune” for movies using Leonard Maltin’s film guide. Admittedly, Doug himself is kind of a jerk, but he pulls amazing guests. Give this podcast a listen, and play a round of the Leonard Maltin game with your friends.

Good episode to listen to first: “August 20th, 2012.” If you’d like to hear Paul Rudd, Jon Hamm, Morgan Spurlock, Mike Birbiglia and John Mulaney try to guess Willem Dafoe movies, this is your thing.

The BugleFans of “The Daily Show” will more than love

“The Bugle.” Hosted by “The Daily Show’s” own John Oliver and his comedic partner in crime Andy Zaltzman, this very British podcast skewers news from all across the world with an agile wit-tiness and a penchant for puns. Their coverage of the London Olympics was among the funniest in all the world. A little bit of international political literacy is required, but if you have even a pass-ing interest in news or humor then “The Bugle” ought to be your next stop.

Good episode to listen to first: “Bugle 205: The Trojan Horse” is the latest, and a good place to start given it wraps up the Olympic coverage. But if you want to relive the London games in the best way possible start with “Bugle 202: Sport!” and keep going.

Comedy Bang Bang!Frequent podcast listeners generally acknowl-

edge that “Comedy Bang Bang!” sits high among podcast royalty, and for good reason. Hosted by Scott Aukerman, a longtime podcaster and head of podcast network Earwolf, “Comedy Bang Bang!” is one of the most consistently funny human creations in circulation today. A typical episode features one or two guests, generally from the comedy world, who are soon interrupt-ed by a strange character (usually also played by a comedy mainstay). The show usually wraps up with a spirited and strange game of Would You Rather? “Comedy Bang Bang!” was recently adapted into a show for IFC, but make sure you tune into the podcast as well. In many ways, it remains unparalleled even by its television counterpart.

Good episode to listen to first: “Comedy Bang Bang! 167.” The incomparable Jessica St. Clair appears as Marissa Wompler, Scott’s intern and frequent character guest, along with Jerrod Walker and Paul Rust. And don’t miss when the great Paul F. Tompkins is on the show, which he frequently is.

Who Charted? With Howard Kremer and Kulap Vilaysack

Also on the Earwolf network, “Who Charted?” counts down the music and movie charts of the week with spirited discussion. The show’s prem-ise is a little simpler than the others, but that is made up for by Howard and Kulap (the wife of Scott Aukerman, incidentally), who have some of the best friend chemistry of any two human beings. If you like them enough (and you will), tune in to their companion show “Two Charted,” where they talk to each other sans guests. From Howard’s endearing silliness to Kulap’s infec-tious laugh, you’ll look forward to hearing these two every week.

Good first episode to listen to: “Who Charted? 88” with Brandon Johnson. An actor on Adult Swim’s “NTSF:SD:SUV”, Mr. Johnson fits right in despite being a first time guest. Watch for Paul F. Tompkins on this podcast too.

Do games bring out your inner killer?

trails you need to explore5

Nut up and plunge 30 feet down into the tiny pool of murky water below! Not so adventurous? Don’t worry, Romero Pools still has lots to offer. As part of Catalina State Park , Romero Pools is an enjoyable hike through some classic Arizona desert, ending at the pools themselves.

If you aren’t going for the scenery, you should go for the other ”scenery.” Romero Pools is a fantastic place to get some sun and drink a “few” beers. However, the pools won’t be full all year, so get up there while you can.

1 2 4 5Romero Pools

Aspen Draw Trail

Seven Falls

Mt. Lemmon Rock Loop

Starr Pass trails

This time of the year the heat is killer, so what better time to hightail it up to the top of Mt. Lemmon ? Aspen Draw Trail is a 2.4-mile hike that begins in the ski town of Summer Haven and finishes with picturesque views at the top of Mt. Lemmon.

In shocking contrast to the desert just 45 minutes away, Aspen Draw Trail winds its way through scenic pine forest. Beat the heat, and grab some tasty fudge up in Summer Haven while you’re at it.

If you aren’t afraid to wake up early to get some good hiking in, Seven Falls is the trail for you.

Seven Falls begins at the base of Sabino Canyon and meanders four miles back from the parking lot into some lush desert foliage.

The best time to make this hike is in early spring when the falls are running from snowmelt and it isn’t unbearably hot outside . Should you decide to hike it at this time of year, leave early in the morning and take lots of water.

Another amazing high-elevation hike, Lemmon Rock Loop is an 8.6-mile round-trip trail.

Make sure to take the meadow loop detour, which has some great spots to go guerilla camp-ing with your buddies. A little farther down the Lemmon Trail portion of the hike and to the south of the trail, there are some really stunning rock for-mations that are great for climbing.

The downside to this hike is that it is largely downhill — until you regain the 2,000 feet of elevation you lost during the rest of the hike in the last two miles of the trek.

So hiking isn’t really your thing and you are crunched for time. Try the trails near Starr Pass Resort . The Starr Pass trails are for that group of people who like the idea of hiking much more than the reality.

These trails are really more like nature walks than actual hikes, but they can be a great way to clear your head after your first week in college.

Sure, your mom isn’t here to do your laundry anymore, and you can’t actually fit enough food to feed a human inside of that mini-fridge of yours, but you can take comfort in the fact that there is a good chance that kid who keeps bumping weed rap won’t be back next semester.

When the bro tanks, high heels, and snap-backs become too much for you to handle, take a hike.

Odds are you came to college looking to run away from something: overbearing

parents, clingy friends or a pseudo-relationship with your prom date. The first few weeks of college are tailored to make you feel like you’re barreling away from your former life at high speed, doing keg stands and raising your middle fingers the entire way.

If you’re one of those few lucky freshmen who didn’t come to Tucson still tethered to your elementary school sweetheart, then go to parties. Whether you’re fraternity-hopping or mobbing a random house party with 18 people from your dorm floor, parties are the place to meet the

boy or girl of your College Algebra 101 daydreams, or at least to find someone to make out with obscenely in the bathroom while you’re waiting another 30 rack to show up.

I’ve been there and done that, and it’s a phase I’m glad I grew out of. You’re not in the wrong for hoping all the new outfits, taxi rides and Friday morning hangovers pay off by meeting someone that makes it all worthwhile, but you need to have the right expectations. The bottom line is this: Don’t mistake hooking up for dating or exchanging phone numbers for a guaranteed future. When you arrive, leave your baggage at the door because it’s highly unlikely someone is going to pick it up and carry it for you. Fraternity boys rarely moonlight as emotional valets.

Going to parties and looking to hook up is hardly a new trend for college students. A 2007 survey of two state universities commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice found that 26.3 percent of college females attend at least one fraternity party per month, while 26.3 percent of women and 21.5 percent of men engage in sex while

drunk or high at least once in that same time period. The study was used to document cases of sexual assault among college students. Hooking up while under the influence doesn’t mean you’re engaging in sexual assault, but the line can be blurred between what you want and what you’re just choosing to go along with when you get physically involved with a stranger. Always be mindful of what you’re comfortable with, and don’t be afraid to speak up when things go too far.

A good policy is to never sneak off somewhere without letting at least one friend know where you are. Announcing an imminent hook up may not always roll off the tongue, but a trusty wingman can be a lifesaver. My boyfriend and I met at a party. Our story changes based on the relative age and tendency toward judgment of the person who asks, but usually I have no qualms with being honest. To

me, it’s a success story in a long line of unfortunately memorable anecdotes, because my choices in companionship freshmen year were dubious, even on a good day. I did things I couldn’t have even conceived of before high school graduation, so that by the

time first semester ended, looking back was equal parts exhausting, amusing and painful.

The boys I hooked up with in those early months of college weren’t entirely at

fault — I showed my hand too readily, hoping that they’d linger once they saw the cards I held. They were, in theory, all “nice guys,” but distinguishing between a keeper and a reprehensible douche bag is ambiguous at best when your entire history is composed of a few shared mixed drinks, some enthusiastic grind sessions and a couple late-night dorm visits.

If you’re not meeting the type of people you could imagine yourself spending time with in the absence of

a raucous beer pong tournament or discarded bottles of Popov, you might need to rethink what you’re looking for. You don’t need to settle for being anybody’s “Thursday Night” if they’re not even willing to make eye contact in the Starbucks line on Friday morning. Trust me, this campus is much smaller than you think.

We’re young, and let’s face it: On the grand scale of the universe, we’re often lacking in practicality where our hearts and minds are concerned. I didn’t stop making mistakes once I got into a relationship, I just switched genres. But I’m happy I hung in there, or I might have become that one girl who still hits up the Sigma Chi Halloween party as a fifth-year senior, latching on to all the pledges. And that’s just awkward.

It takes more than a few digs to find a gem in a room full of rocks, guys, so break out your pickaxes: it’s going to be a long, horny semester.

and can be personalized with wheat or gluten-free pasta or vari-ous add-ins.

For meat lovers, “Bacon Bacon” is the most popular. Health junkies can’t get enough of the “Garden,” made with a top-secret Alfredo sauce recipe. For more mature eat-ers, the lobster mac ‘n’ cheese is not to be missed. And the adven-turous can dive into a Mexican twist on mac n’ cheese called “Taco.”

Those who are still wary should start at the top with “The All-American.”

“You can’t go wrong with a clas-sic,” Wisler says.

With five gourmet sandwiches and huge salads, The Fix caters to those fighting the freshman 15 as well. “Mac ‘n’ cheese is something everyone can enjoy — both young and old,” co-owner Amanda Rickel explained. “As a kid, you grow up eating it. Mac n’ cheese is America’s number-one comfort food.”

Rickel has had a hand in the operation of many restaurants around Tucson and Phoenix. Now, it’s her turn to take the reins with her very own restaurant.

“I wanted something unique and eclectic,” Rickel said.

When Rickel first met fiance and co-owner Adam Nelson, she told him that her dream was to own her own restaurant. After gaining 20 years of experience running res-taurants and asking advice from

friends and family as well as celebri-ty chef and restaurateur Bobby Flay, Rickel’s dream finally came true.

In about thirty days, Rickel, “the mastermind,” and Nelson, “the guy who eats,” took her con-cept and made it reality. “Giving blood, sweat and tears,” as Rickel said, family members and friends delved into the project, commit-ting hours of continuous manual labor. They turned what was once the ornate Sultan Palace restau-rant’s curtains, carpeting and indi-vidual floor seating into a bright and quirky yet “homey” restaurant that parallels the comfort of mac ‘n’ cheese.

“It hasn’t hit me yet that I own my own restaurant,” Rickel said.

It’s constant work but Rickel is there every day, bonding with her

staff and making sure her custom-ers are having the best experience they can possibly have.

“It’s worth it when you see where all your hard work is going,” she said.

Rickel was raised around food and the restaurant industry due to her father’s ownership of nine local Tucson eateries such as Baggin’s. She knows taste and quality. And more than anything, she loves supporting local busi-nesses in Tucson.

“We want to stay student friend-ly but always involve the commu-nity,” she said.

Labeled as a “stress fix,” the restaurant also serves beer and wine. Once football season starts, The Fix will run tailgate specials and happy hours so fans can drop in to cheer on the Wildcats

while catching the game on the restaurant’s televisions.

The Fix will also offer bicycle deliv-ery on campus and begin accepting CatCard by next week.

At The Fix, mac ‘n’ cheese can’t be considered basic anymore. Now it’s a comfort meal just like Mom makes — except better.

Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne are engaged. Take a moment to recover from the shock you’re invariably feeling, and consider the previous statement and its implications for music. It’s a match made in heaven that only country star couples can enjoy. Consider Kroeger and Lavigne the Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert of shitty Canadian rock, however. In lieu of crafting well-liked music, as their Southern counterparts have, they’re instead destined to create material that’s going to rile up music aficionados for years to come.

Their wedding will be the day Don McLean sung about — the day the music dies. That said, it’s time to take a look at the most atrocious offer-ings Mr. and Mrs. Kroeger have created over the span of their careers.

Chad Kroeger feat. Josey Scott of Saliva – “Hero”

Remember being nine, ten, or eleven years old and hearing that uplifting anthem to the badassery that was 2002’s “Spiderman” movie? Personally, I was enamored with the gravelly

tones of both Scott and Kroeger’s limited vo-cal ranges and filled with envy at the sight of Kroeger’s flowing golden locks.

I was an idiot. Let’s break down the components of this song’s

shitty-ness. We’ve got Josey Scott (his relevance outside of the nu-metal scene after this song is just as mysterious as Kroeger’s inability to write likable music) harmonizing with Nickelback’s frontman about how he’s so high that he can hear heaven. What the hell does that even mean? Combined with the melodramatic strings and the congas (yes, congas) that back “Hero,” this song is nothing but laughable. Kroeger should have just held on to those eagles’ wings he sung about and then let go of them — preferably over a canyon or volcano.

Avril Lavigne – “Sk8er Boi”If you possess even an iota of respect for the

English language, the title of this track alone should send you into eye-clawing conniptions. The bouncing pop track from her 2002 debut, Let Go, was the chart-topping single that made Avril a household name. Her awkward persona and poor makeup choices only added to her WTF factor, but it was the clunky lyricism of “Sk8er Boi” that really should have had parents banning their kids from watching MTV. “He was a punk / she did ballet / what more can I say?” Really, Avril? You could have turned the first two verses into some-thing that avoided laying out the most obvious of plots for your alt-girl listeners.

Nickelback – “Rockstar”

Five Finger Death Punch has seen skyrocketing popularity since the band’s formation in 2005, with its albums garnering both commer-cial success and critical praise.

Now one of the biggest acts in the metal indus-try, Five Finger Death Punch will play Comerica Theatre on Aug. 26 as a part of the Trespass America Festival, along with other major names like Killswitch Engage and Trivium.

Their name is an accurate description of what they bring to the table. Their songs are heavy handed, tightly closed fists pounding on your ears like you’re in a fight. And, just like in a fight, adrenaline shoots through your system and you can’t help but be jacked up. It’s what Tyler Durden, of Fight Club, would listen to in a blissful brawl.

With such passion comes soul. Even when the band is coming at you full force, their lyri-cism — an occasional second thought for some metal bands — never falters. They’re true and intense, just as they should be.

Plus, even better, the band likes to slow it down every now and again, treating listeners to a true range of talents. As for how this tour has been so far, Five Finger Death Punch guitarist

Jason Hook says he thinks the band has been getting everything it hoped for out of it.

“It’s been awesome,” Hook said. “We’re at the level now where we’re headlining are-nas that this feels really good. There’s a lot of big crowds and I feel like we have a very loyal and dedicated, and enthusiastic following. So I can’t think of too many tours where we haven’t seen the result we were looking for.”

Considering the band isn’t the only group to take the stage, though, their shows have seen more than just Five Finger fans coming out in force. With bigger crowds and more entertain-ment, people coming to the Trespass America Festival are getting their money’s worth, ac-cording to Hook.

“Because this is a festival and we have more than the regular amount of bands playing, I defi-nitely think that we’re packed in a little tighter,” Hook said. “People like that value for their dol-lar, and when the first band goes at five o’clock [they get it].”

But although the tour is still ongoing, the band is already looking ahead. According to Hook, Five Finger Death Punch would like to get back in the studio as early as the beginning of October, barely a month after its last tour date.

While the band is gearing up for a new

album, it’s still too early to say where it will end up.

“I think we’re leaving it open for now,” Hook said. “We always talk about what we want to accomplish, but then it ends up taking a life of its own. It’s a cre-ative process, it’s not some-thing we can put down on paper, and I think that the only objec-tive is to have strong songs. Because you can say, ‘Let’s make a heavier record,’ but if they’re heavier, shit songs, nobody wants that either.”

As far as albums go, though, Five Finger seems to always be doing something. Its sec-ond album, War is the Answer, was released in September 2009. Their last album, American Capitalist, dropped in October 2011. Having that quick turnaround time is part of the band’s philosophy.

“It’s a different era for music, and I think that

people are so anxious to consume that the pro-cess is very quick nowadays,” Hook said. “The Internet has increased the speed and accessi-bility of concert footage. All your music can be

emailed, traded, copied, cloned, uploaded, down-loaded. It’s just a faster, hungrier beast that needs to be fed with-in shorter inter-vals to stay alive, and we recognize that. It’s just re-quired that we get back in and keep being cre-ative.”

But for now, the band is excited to come play in Arizona. According to Hook, it’s one of the group’s fa-vorite spots.

“Any time we’re preparing a tour, we’re al-ways anxious to have tour dates in places like Tucson and Phoenix,” Hook said. “It’s always been very strong for us, and there are always really, really beautiful women too, especially in Phoenix. We certainly enjoy it.”

W When they wed, music will die

TF!?!

We always talk about what we want to accomplish, but then it ends up taking a life of its own.

The Arizona baseball team’s cham-pionship celebration is still not over, as the winners of the 2012 College World Series will be honored by the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday night at Chase Field.

“These are always the perks af-ter you win a national champion-ship,” said head coach Andy Lopez, last season’s National Coach of the Year. “I remember in ’92 (my Pepperdine team) was honored at Dodger Stadium. You work hard, it’s a long grind of a season and then it’s obviously a pretty good sprint for two weeks to try and win a national title.”

An on-field ceremony will be held to commemorate the national title, and Lopez will throw the first pitch for the UA Alumni Night.

“I throw batting practice every day so I’m pretty comfortable throwing strikes,” Lopez said. “Hopefully they’ll give me a chance to get loose and throw a little bit though.”

As the coach of a baseball team,

throwing the first pitch with tens of thousands of eyes watching could be nerve-wracking because of the heckling likely to follow if he makes a mistake. Lopez isn’t worried at all, though.

“I was nervous when my kids were born, but other than that, it’s been a pretty boring life,” Lopez joked.

Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez threw the first pitch for the Diamondbacks in April, but he shared the spotlight with ASU foot-ball head coach Todd Graham.

This time, Lopez, a three-time Na-tional Coach of the Year, will have the mound all to himself as he opens up the Diamondbacks game against di-vision rivals San Diego Padres at ap-proximately 5:10 p.m.

The honor comes almost two months after the Wildcats went on a 10-0 undefeated postseason run, capping it off with a sweep of the two-time defending champions, the South Carolina Gamecocks.

“I’ve just been floating on cloud nine, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for everybody else,” starting catcher

Riley Moore said. “I mean, it’s a big deal, a national championship in Di-vision I baseball … It’s crazy, I hardly even ever dreamed of doing what we did.”

At least five of Arizona’s most important players from the Col-lege World Series run won’t be able to attend Saturday. Kurt Heyer, Alex Mejia, Robert Refsnyder, Seth Mejias-Brean and Joey Rickard are all busy on MLB rosters. All of the returning players will travel up to Phoenix together on a bus and take part in the festivities.

It’s always a neat thing for the team to experience being on a major league field since most of the players hope to one day make a profession out of baseball, Lopez said.

The College World Series victory marked Arizona baseball’s fourth national championship and its first since 1986.

“I’m really happy for the guys,” Lo-pez said. “These are things they’ll re-member for the rest of their life, and it’s kind of fun for them to be a part of something like this.”

Chanel Brown picked up a volley-ball for the first time during fifth grade on the playground of her elementary school in Tempe, Ariz. Following the advice of her teacher, Brown enrolled in a volleyball club and hasn’t left the court since.

The 5-foot-9 junior transfer setter has close to a decade of experience in com-petitive volleyball. She recalls receiving her first recruitment letter in seventh grade. As a senior in high school, Brown led her team to an Arizona State Cham-pionship and earned the 2009 MVP award.

She transitioned into collegiate vol-leyball and became a Gator at the Uni-versity of Florida.

“The world of recruitment opened up right away and I was lucky in that my family was able to send me to a lot of schools to check out the teams,” Brown said. “I chose Florida my junior year in high school.”

The decision brought Brown to the top of Southeastern Conference, where she started every match her freshman year and led the squad with 5.59 as-sists per set. She led her team to an SEC Championship and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen as a freshman. By the time the Gators got to the Elite Eight her soph-omore year, Chanel was ready for a change.

“I had to step back and think about the direction I wanted to take, as a play-er, for personal growth, and realized I wanted a different coaching mentality,” Brown said.

Arizona’s program became a valid option to Brown to consider for its value placed on the setter. She said the focus on the position made her really pursue Arizona as an option because her ulti-mate goal is to become a professional setter abroad after graduation.

“Chanel has competed at an ex-tremely high level,” head coach Dave Rubio said.

Rubio already expects Brown to be a team leader, and she takes that respon-sibility in stride. She credits her father as the source of her competitive streak.

“I think my dad really has in-stilled that competitive drive,” Brown said with a smile. “I abso-lutely hate losing. It’s just like a stab to my soul. It doesn’t matter if it’s volleyball or board games with my family.”

Her teammates admit they enjoy

the competition that she brings to the setter position. Brown and Lau-ren Fuller, a freshman setter from Los Angeles, are battling to set in Rubio’s 5-1 setter rotation, in which one setter stays on the court for a full rotation rather than two setters playing at the same time.

“Chanel does have a lot of experience as opposed to Lauren, who is just a freshman, but they’re both so talented,” sophomore middle blocker Rachel Rhoades

said. “They are a really good balance because you can tell they push each other a lot.”

The Pacific 12 Conference boasts the best volleyball programs in the country. Brown is happy to be close to her hometown and to be able to compete against the best.

“I have always known I wanted to be in sports in the long run,” Brown said. “I hope it’s continuing to play volleyball until I am old and can’t walk.”

Arizona volleyball makes its 2012 debut this Friday against Evansville with the Wildcat Classic at McKale Center.

Cal State Northridge, Evansville and Utah Valley will take part in the two-day showdown. This is the first time the incoming freshman class and three transfers will see competition at the college level and as Wildcats.

“I think we are coming into this season with that underdog label,” junior setter Chanel Brown said. “We’re still feeling out how to work together, but we are clicking at times.”

Sophomore middle blocker Rachel Rhoades is not expected to return from her concussion injury in time for the weekend.

Rhoades said she was hoping to be back in time for practice Thursday evening but was not able to fully complete the concussion test that she underwent earlier in the day.

Head coach Dave Rubio said the freshmen who see the court during the weekend will have to prove they deserve significant playing time.

Arizona will take on Evansville in the first matchup of the Wildcat Classic, making this the second consecutive year the two teams have faced off. Last time, the Wildcats won 3 sets to 1.

“I think there is an expectation there for the returners, but I really don’t mind it. We as a team all want to perform well so it’s important for us to step into that role,” sophomore outside hitter Madi Kingdon said.

All eyes are on the 7-member freshman class competing for time on the court. So far, middle blocker Olivia Magill has stood out among her teammates.

“She is just a beast at the net,” Brown said. “She just jumps out of the roof.”

Three transfers will also be making their Wildcat debut this weekend. Brown, from the University of Florida, is joined by fellow Division I players junior Alyse Hensley from Loyola Marymount and Emily Kiser from Sacramento State.

“It definitely feels like Coach has been tougher on us this past week,” Kingdon said. “We can tell he is expecting more and that’s really good for us to feel that pressure.”

The Arizona soccer team will travel north to Flagstaff on Sunday to play the NAU Lumberjacks in its sec-ond away game of the season.

“We know going into this match with NAU it is going to be more of a physical battle,” senior defender Alex Smith said. “We will come ready to play, and since it is an in-state match-up, it will be a battle of who wants it more.”

At their last meeting, on Sept. 3, 2010, the Wildcats hosted the Lum-berjacks in a double overtime match that resulted in a tie. Even though Arizona attempted 10 shots in the first half, NAU pulled ahead with a 1-0 lead when Kristi Andreassen scored the first and only goal for the Lumberjacks.

As time dwindled for Arizona with two minutes to spare in regulation time, former Wildcat Jensen Skinner scored the UA’s first goal, forcing the match into overtime.

Arizona attempted four shots between the two overtimes, but none made it past NAU goalkeeper Lauren Weaver. NAU attempted three shots, but former Arizona goalkeeper

Ashley Jett shut down NAU’s last-minute chance to win by making a save in the second overtime.

Weaver returns as NAU’S goal-keeper, but has a new opposing goal-keeper this season in Arizona’s junior Gabby Kaufman, who transferred from Texas Tech University.

The Wildcats will be on the road for 12 of their 20 games this sea-son. With the large number of away games, the team must work to over-come its constantly-on-the-move schedule.

“We are taking the season one step at a time,” Smith said. “We don’t want to look too far ahead, but simply take the time to focus on each game.”

Millions of brave souls regularly step onto those planks of wood with wheels and a basic turn-ing system called skateboards. Hundreds of skateboarders exist on campus — and there’s a club just for them.

The only requirements to join are a board, a helmet and paid dues.

Longboarders aren’t just a nui-sance for pedestrians. AZ Push is a longboarding and skateboarding club founded by club president Andrew Alejandre and treasurer Raymond Robinson. In an interview with the Daily Wildcat earlier this year, Robinson explained that he and Alejandre started the club in the sum-mer of 2010, replacing an unofficial club.

The idea was conceived during a 130-mile trip through California with nothing but longboards and back-packs.

Currently, the club is working on representing itself on campus.

“Right now, we’re just con-centrating on getting shirts and getting a banner out,” Robinson says. “Those things were on our agenda (last year) and we never got it done. We were on the Mall (on Monday) advertising for our club, and we had a notebook with a paper sticking out, with ‘Longboard Club’ written on it.”

But it’s not like the club isn’t hooked up. It’s working on acquir-ing multiple sponsorships and already has one sponsorship from local skate shop Starr Skates. According to Robinson, Sector 9 Longboards sent AZ Push 10 long-boards to be used for a mentorship program in which riders volunteer to teach kids of all ages to skate safely.

“We’re not going to put an age limit on it,” Robinson says. “If you’re 20 and you want to learn how to skateboard … we’re not prejudiced.”

With more than 100 members on the club’s Facebook page, chances are if you know a skateboarder, you know someone from AZ Push. People of all backgrounds are wel-come — you don’t even need to be a UA student to join the club.

Enes Zekic, a Tucson local, joined AZ Push one year ago when his friends invited him to check out the scene.

“It’s one of those sports you can’t really regulate,” Zekic says of skateboarding. “There are so many different facets of it, every-body likes to do a different thing on their board. It’s mostly a way for people to escape and express themselves in a non-traditional kind of way.”

According to Zekic, the long-boarding scene in Arizona is grow-ing. He said pedestrians should treat skateboarders just like bikers.

“(Skateboarders) are in control.

Don’t be worried for them,” he says.

Even so, Alejandre always emphasizes the importance of safety, especially for downhill rid-ers. During a race earlier this year, several riders experienced road-rash, though Alejandre explained

that serious injuries are rare in the club.

“I don’t suggest people going out there and skating it with no safety gear,” Alejandre warns about a popular downhill road. “If you don’t know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t be out there. It’s not safe.”

If you want to learn how to ride safely and get some new tricks down on your board, roll on down to the front of the Nugent Building at 8 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays. Someone there will gladly teach you everything you need to know.

“Dorm Cest”You know that really hot guy or girl who lives on the floor above you?

The one you’ve been scoping out since move-in? Well, as attractive as he or she may be, it’s not worth the chase. Starting romantic relationships with people who live in your hall is always a bad idea. It could start off great at first, but it won’t end well – that I can promise you.

First off, you’ll see the object of your affection all the time. The beginnings of relationships are the most exciting, so being exposed to someone all the time can get boring fast. You will see them coming back from class or the gym, during study time or even when you just want to chill with your bros or ladies.

What happens when things start to fade and you want to bring a new “friend” back to your dorm? Things have the potential to get uncomfortable. Passing them on the stairs while you’re hand-in-hand with your new thunder buddy could also elicit some vile stares. Plus, they know where you live, so expect nasty notes on your door. It’s your first year of college; you don’t have time for anything lackluster.

Key Etiquette During move-in, the front desk gives out lanyards so the fresh-

man don’t lose their keys the second they leave the room. They’re always the same: thick straps with Residence Hall Association logos splattered across them. However, what you do with them after you leave the front desk does matter. Avoid putting your lanyard around your neck at all costs or risk some serious mockery.

Yeah, I get that you don’t want to carry it, but you most likely have pockets or purses to stick it in. Wearing it around your neck is just asking to be called a freshman, and subsequently to be punched in the face.

Class of no one caresHigh school graduation was only a few short months ago for some folks, and high school may

have been the best four years of your life. However, wearing a letterman’s jacket or rocking the “Class of ‘10” t-shirt isn’t tolerated well here. The one thing it’s good for is helping guys identify jailbait, which they will do. Leave that stuff back home. The only team you should be represent-ing is the Wildcats (and maybe the New York Giants — but that’s just me).

You aren’t too cool for anythingIn high school you may have been captain of the cheerlead-

ing squad, debate team or Spanish club. However, there are so many more opportunities waiting around every red brick corner

here at the UA. Don’t think you’re too cool to check out some of the clubs on campus. Sure, a lot of people think going greek is the

way to get involved, but also check out some of the club fairs. There isn’t anything cool about coming back from class and doing nothing all

afternoon and night. You never know, maybe the Food Enthusiasts Club will be the key to your success.

Partying 101 You’ve probably been to at least one party in high school, and it was likely the kind

where boys were still too scared to talk to girls. But you’re in college now, so get used to it. A few simple rules that are always worth following: First, never start a conversation

by asking what someone’s major is. It’s the go-to question that no one actually cares about. Second, never bring up relationships. It’s more of a “don’t ask, don’t tell”

system here; we’re in college, everything goes. Plus, we’re only a few short months away from Turkey Drop (Thanksgiving break when everyone

comes back newly single), so even if your special someone has his or her own someone back home, it won’t be for long. Lastly, don’t be stupid.

Alcohol and hormones are a bad enough combination as it is, but when merged your newly found freshman bravado it can’t pos-sibly end well. Play it cool.

Fall sorority rush of 2012 reached its conclusion with last Sunday’s Bid Day, said to be one of the most exciting days on the Greek Life calendar. However, many of the new pledges may have trouble acclimating to their new environment, as they are suddenly forced to look beyond the bouncing, clapping, hair swinging and vaseline-on-teeth smiles displayed by every chapter. Pledges must now take their minimal first impressions and transform them into lifelong friendships.

Some new members are instantly comfortable in their new surroundings, but for those who feel like they have been dropped into a parallel universe, take all the advice you can get. The priority of academia can be easily replaced with the urge to jump straight into the active party scene.

However, time management is a must. Learn how to say no and prioritize. Make sure to work hard, because nothing feels worse than going out with a load of unfinished homework looming in the back of your mind.

If you are struggling with academics, resort to your chapter’s study files. You are now in a sisterhood of 200 girls — there is bound to be someone around to help. Look out for a tutoring list,

and put your name on it. Take advantage of the study parties organized by your scholarship chair, and never be afraid to ask a sister for help.

And be sure to know your

limits, especially when it comes to alcohol. There will always be people pressuring you to drink more, but you are going to regret that last shot or mixed drink when you become that girl throwing up

in your 9 a.m. class on Friday. When possible, avoid

scheduling Friday classes at all, because no matter how driven you are, dragging yourself out of bed after that “much needed Thursday

night” is not as easy as it sounds.Three-day weekends are golden.

With Halloween right around the corner, make sure to save any costume you have ever had, because odds are you or a friend will end up needing it during the drawn-out festivities.

While you are out, make sure to keep your heels on at all times. Walking around Greek Row holding your heels labels you as intoxicated, and the University of Arizona Police Department and Tucson police keep a special lookout for people that obvious.

If you’re ever unfortunate enough to be targeted by a police officer, never affiliate yourself with Greek Life or your personal chapter — the only thing worse than that is to go out wearing your letters.

Although walking around in heels between parties can be painful, it’s definitely not enough exercise to accommodate the new college lifestyle, so make sure to utilize the campus recreation center as often as possible. There are endless exercise options, and a good workout can make a world of difference in your day.

All of this is important, but if you remember just one thing, make sure to maintain the things

you love about yourself. You may be in a sisterhood of 200 girls but you’re loved for your individuality, so embrace your differences.

It’s been a week since the guilty verdict came down for the three members of

the Russian punk band Pussy Riot .

The all-female riot grrrl group was arrested in March on charges of hooliganism af-ter it performed an electrify-ing anti-President Putin song inside a Russian Orthodox church.

The amount of support for Maria Alyokhina, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has been stag-gering, but with their sentenc-ing comes the question of what to take away from this injus-tice.

In a country like the United States, where freedom of ex-pression is so fiercely protect-ed, the support for Pussy Riot

that has permeated the na-tional consciousness is almost redundant . The lightning rod nature of Pussy Riot’s case is the kind of thing that drives the artistic world to create works about issues of social justice -- and yet, American musicians know they will never have to worry about finding them-selves in Pussy Riot’s position .

Even in the short time since the arrests, many industry fig-ures have spoken out in sup-port of what Pussy Riot stands for. Due to Pussy Riot’s po-litical fearlessness, exuberant live performances and overtly feminist lyrics, the group has drawn comparisons to the riot grrrl movement of the 1990s .

Just as that movement en-ergized a generation of mu-sicians and women, the at-tention that Pussy Riot has received has led many to view the band as similarly inspir-ing. “It would be really cool if this reinvigorated feminists from all over the world,” de facto riot grrrl leader Kathleen Hanna said in an interview with Pitchfork .

Among other public sup-porters of Pussy Riot, including Sting and Madonna , Hanna’s

sentiment really embodies the industry-wide support behind the group, as the group’s case represents commitment to ar-tistic freedom and expression.

There’s stilll the issue of whether or not the suppres-sion of artistic expression is even the main point of it all, given the more looming issue of the Russian political and le-gal systems. Some have voiced concern for the other political victims of Russia’s unjust rul-ings, those who weren’t lucky enough to have their cases so well publicized.

In an article written for The Atlantic, writer Joshua Foust argues that the hype

surrounding Pussy Riot is akin to the stupendous uproar over Joseph Kony earlier this year, “an unfortunate practice of ac-tivism for the sake of activism.”

Although the verdict has been made, it seems as though Pussy Riot’s international in-fluence is holding strong. For the past few months, Pussy Riot has inspired the world to consider the power of musi-cians by bringing political in-justice to the forefront, even if it was at their own expense.

If nothing else, there’s al-ways the seven free mem-bers of Pussy Riot still running around to keep us all on our toes.

To be fair, Avril’s not as big of a detraction to music as her soon-to-be hubby . He fronts one of the most hated bands in the world, placing his Canadian rock outfit alongside Insane Clown Posse and Creed . If that isn’t enough to break Nickelback’s

personal grandeur, then maybe “Rockstar” truly is their theme song.

The song spins a cringe-worthy tale of chasing tail, blow-ing rails and quesadillas. This is the only sign that Nickelback may realize what a joke they are, but given that “Rockstar” is the band’s best selling single, and the fact that Rolling Stone named it one of their best songs of 2007, the band may just be a little too caught up in its own schtick to see itself for what it really are.

Putin puts Pussy Riot in pound

From the first note of plodding bass guitar, Teengirl Fantasy’s new record Tracer makes it clear you’re going to space . “Orbit,” Tracer’s first track , spends two whole minutes starting up the en-gines, revving the bass as it lets sparkling arpeggios flicker be-tween your headphones as if testing the lights of the space shut-tle. The synthesizers kick in, but go quiet again within seconds, teasing you. Then, out of nowhere, the music cuts out complete-ly and Logan Takahashi and Nick Weiss breathe softly into the microphones: they’ll be your captains this evening. Finally, your very headphones start to quiver and the next thing you know, you’re gone. Blast off.

It’s hard to listen to Tracer and not marvel at how well it’s paced. True, most of the songs drag too much to dance to, and shine too much to study to. But every song has its purpose, as if Teengirl Fantasy has thoughtfully plotted out its trek through the universe. And they’re not alone on this journey.

From Kelela’s 90s R&B vocal on “EFX” to the wonderfully goofy Romanthony on “Do It” to the mournful cry of Panda Bear on “Pyjama,” the vocal features on this album are pretty fantas-tic. In fact, I’d wager you could pick out any one of the collab-orations on this album and realistically picture it as an under-ground hit, club danceability be damned. Even the delightfully sloppy “Pyjama” has its merits, bearing just enough off-the-wall

percussion to lull you into thinking it’s an Animal Collective song. These kinds of touchstones and references are scattered all throughout Tracer, making it fun to listen, if at times a bit re-petitive. Nonetheless, Tracer is an album dense and scintillating enough that you could lose yourself in it just as easily sober as you could stoned.

This attention to sonic detail is where Tracer really shines. Not every instrumental track is as engrossing as the beats they

saved for the vocalists. However, on the two-part epic that is “The End” followed by “Vector Spray,” the band lets loose enough per-cussion and melody to ensure that you are anything but bored.

Tracer briefly missteps with the only real clunker of the album, the repetitive “Inca,” that unhelpfully employs the most obnox-ious woodblock sound effect I’ve ever heard. Nevertheless, by the time Romanthony has hilariously insisted that he “do it” many times over, the album gets back on track with the pleasant “Timeline,” a solid if not totally stunning dance track to blast you back into space before you get a chance to leave the party.
