While a national survey shows there is little benefit to unpaid internships, some UA students say internships are valuable regardless of whether they’re paid or not.
A 2013 survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers showed little percentage difference between students with unpaid internships and those with no internships, when it came to getting a job after college.
The survey, found on the NACE website, showed that 63.1 percent of students with paid
internships received at least one job offer, while only 37 percent of students who had an unpaid internship and 35.2 percent who had no
internship experience were offered a job after graduation.
The survey included responses from 9,215 seniors who were earning
a bachelor’s degree, and has been conducted for three consecutive years, according to the association’s website .
A lot of students want paid internships, said Stephanie Smith, internship coordinator for the communication department, but there are some reasons students may prefer an unpaid internship.

Efforts vie to keep pot from minors
WASHINGTON — When the U.S. Justice Department promised not to prosecute illegal marijuana sales planned to begin in Washington state and Colorado next year, its top lawyers demanded that the states reciprocate with a pledge to keep the drug away from minors.
“Kids are going to be bombarded with this — they’re already getting the message that it’s acceptable,” said Kevin Sabet, a legalization opponent and director of the University of Florida Drug Policy Institute, who served as an adviser on drug issues to President Barack Obama and former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
With polls showing support for legalizing marijuana on the rise, questions about how it would affect children remain.
The debate has intensified as momentum for legalization builds and as research shows increased marijuana use among youngsters. More teens are now smoking pot than tobacco, believing that it is safer.
Legalization backers say they’re just as eager to protect kids as opponents. And they say the public has no reason to worry if the drug is sold openly in stores instead of on the streets.
Teens already are more likely to smoke pot than tobacco,
according to a study released in December by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the University of Michigan.
“We are committed to countering the perception among young people that marijuana is less dangerous to them because it has been made legal for adult use,” Jack Finlaw, chief legal counsel for the Colorado governor, told the Senate Judiciary Committee this month.
Among other things, Colorado will ban pot advertising aimed at anyone under 21 and form a “marijuana educational oversight committee” to let minors know the drug could hinder their neurological development, Finlaw said.
In a letter to the Senate panel, Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson promised that all of the marijuana will be sold in child-resistant packaging and that none of the state’s 334 retail pot stores will be allowed within 1,000 feet of a school, park, playground or video arcade when they open June 1.
Sabet predicted that attracting more young users will be necessary for the economic survival of the industry.
“This is about making sure that kids are hooked early, because that’s the only way that addictive industries make money,” he said. “They don’t make money off casual users, and in order to get addicts, you have to start people young.”

You work at Silver Mine Subs?Uh-huh. I’m a driver … and manager.
Full-time? Part-time?I do about 25 to 30 hours a week.
What’s your favorite part about working here?The environment. We’re on campus — there’s never
a dull moment.
You have a favorite kind of customer?I would say students. They’re nice, easy to talk to.
Let’s really narrow it down. What’s your favorite kind of student?
I enjoy the drunk customers. They’re funny, they’re hilarious.
Any good memories with drunk students? Bonding moments?
There’s been people passing out here, people forgetting their order — they’ll just buy their sub and walk out. There was a food fight in here, which wasn’t that bad; I cleaned that up. Just a lot of nonsense like that.
OK, Silver Mine vs. Subway: Do you consider yourself a sandwich artist?
Yes, I do.
What about sandwich-making is art?I don’t know about Subway, but none of our meats
are pre-cut. We cut everything daily, we bake our breads daily. I don’t know how Subway works …
What’s your favorite smell?Fresh bread. Freshly baked bread.
Is that just at Silver Mine, or is that your overall favorite smell?
For sandwich shops in general, I guess.
Any advice for the kids out there?Study hard, have fun, enjoy your college experience.

tuition to receive credit for a summer internship, it adds on to the burden of not making money from the internship.
However, Smith said unpaid internships are valuable because they help students find out if they want to be in a specific industry or hold a certain position. Eileen McGarry, director of UA Career Services, said the debate on whether students should get paid for internships is not always black and white, since many factors go into the decision.
“A quality internship is still going to put students above and beyond,” McGarry said, adding that employers are looking for career-related experience, which ranks those students higher than students without internship experience.
Despite the survey results, McGarry said, it’s a matter of presentation and gaining experience from the internship that helps students secure jobs.
The benefit of paid internships for the company is being able to recruit people who they eventually wish to add to their list of full-time employees, McGarry added. However, if the company is not paying, they may not have the
capacity to hire people at that moment, she added.
“There may be possibilities that the position opens at the end of that internship,” McGarry said, “but it’s not a pre-planned strategy like the companies that are hiring interns.”
Unpaid internships are likely to be highly competitive as well, McGarry added.
Students who have had internships said experience is key, regardless of whether it’s a paid or unpaid internship.
Meagan McBride, a biology freshman who had an unpaid internship at the Northside Child Health Center in Colorado, said while it would make sense for them
to be paid because it’s more like a job than an internship, there’s still something to gain from unpaid internships.
“I feel like even if you don’t get paid at the internship, you still get the same experience as you would if you got paid,” McBride said.
Christian Del Rosario, a physics freshman, had paid internships at Pima Community College and the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona. He said he believes the survey results make sense.
“I did actually have to stay focused and have to do everything I could to keep that job,” Del Rosario said.
It’s easier for those with paid internships because they already
have the experience, he added, and being paid for an internship gives students an incentive to put in more effort.
“Otherwise it would be just like basic community service,” he said.
Riley Duke, an anthropology sophomore, said internships are beneficial for networking as well.
“[Students are] able to get contacts and potentially that could lead to a job where they do get paid,” Duke said. “It’s a bummer that they don’t get paid, but they’re getting something out of it. It’s not just for money.”

Pepper began his career at the UA as an undergraduate swimmer studying psychology. Along with winning the NCAA title in the 100 butterfly, he was an undergraduate assistant in professor George Gehrels’ oceanography class.
“After he finished his undergraduate degree, he wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to do,” Gehrels said, “so we got him working in our laboratory and he was a great, great employee.”
After working in the lab, Pepper worked in his own boat shop in Tucson before getting his master’s degree in wildlife management while studying elk and cattle. He then moved to the Caribbean to be the site manager for a salt mining and cotton farming plantation left over from the slave trade, thinking he’d be in paradise, he said. But the management job was not as great as he’d expected.
“Fixing toilets is miserable no matter where you are,” Pepper said.
Pepper moved on and took a job in “the world’s best dive resort,” in Papua New Guinea. The first day he landed, the resort owner warned him of ambushes, beheading, rioting security guards and, naturally, a plethora of machetes. Though it was paradise for a photographer, Pepper
said the violence got the best of him and he moved to Australia to take pictures of biology research.
While in Australia, he worked with troubled youth, instructing them on marine biology, as well as traveled all over the country documenting research.
Now back in Tucson, Pepper said he hopes to get his doctorate in earth sciences while
working on a project aging zircon crystals found in sand samples from all over South America.
“He’s just a naturally curious person,” said Alexander Pullen, a research scientist at the UA. “I don’t think he just fell in love with geoscience. I think it’s just one avenue for him to explore.”

House bill 2428 created the veteran designation and was signed by Gov. Jan Brewer in 2012. House bill 2076, signed this year, allows veterans to waive the skills test for commercial licenses.
Sanders said because the implementation is still new, it will take time to get an idea of how many veterans are taking advantage of them.
“I don’t know if we will have the data daily or weekly,” Sanders said. “I think it will only be by 30-day time periods, and that’s because all offices are reporting and that has to be turned into one report.”
Robert Rosinski, the student director at the Veterans Education Transition Services Center, said the new services can benefit veterans who use their military ID often because they will no longer have to carry two separate IDs. He added that the new service will most likely affect older veterans more than UA student veterans who are typically younger.
“Some are interested in doing
it some are not, for most of us we are fairly recently out of the military. We still have our service connected cards or our military IDs,” Rosinski said. “So it’s not an immediate concern for us, but again for those that
have been out of the military for quite a while it can be quite useful.”

I don’t think he just fell in love with geoscience. I think it’s just one avenue for him to explore.— Alexander Pullen,
Like many mornings, I woke up last Monday to an Associated Press alert. Thirteen people
had been killed at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. My heart sank, not only due to the horrifying news, but because I realized I was somewhat not surprised.
I’ve grown accustomed to these atrocities, and while I hope I never feel numb to the pain they cause, our culture is adjusting to the frequency of these events. We need to take action, but a minority of Americans who don’t understand the true meaning of the Second Amendment are stifling progress.
According to a Gallup Poll released in January, 91 percent of Americans support expanded background checks on firearms purchases. A Washington Post-ABC Poll in April showed that 56 percent of Americans support the ban of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. Most Americans agree that this is common sense legislation that should be enacted, despite Congress’ inaction.
Beyond bans and background checks lies a more complex problem. Gun violence thrives on America’s gun culture and a profound misunderstanding of our constitutional right to bear arms.
“The Second Amendment is not clearly written,” said Chad Westerland, a political science professor who has been studying the Constitution for nearly 20 years. “It doesn’t say you have a right to carry a gun; there’s a right to bear arms that’s connected to maintaining a well-regulated militia.”
It was not until 2008 that the Supreme Court recognized the individual’s right to own a firearm in the District of Columbia vs. Heller decision. The framers of the Constitution did not protect the right of citizens to bear arms for entertainment’s sake. The Second Amendment was created because a fragile nation had just defeated a tyrannical government through guerrilla warfare, a style of combat that requires an armed citizenry.
Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, told Meet the Press earlier this year that an assault rifle ban would be “an absolute abridgement under the Heller case.”
Westerland disagreed, saying, “the justification for individual property protection and protection in your home isn’t quite there with an assault style weapon.” Westerland said there can be limits on the types of weapons permitted.
The Constitution does not deal with absolutes. It is a flexible document. This is true with even our First Amendment rights, which have many limits and regulations.
“Freedom of speech is far more explicit in the Constitution about an individual liberty than the Second Amendment, and we restrict the First Amendment all the time,” Westerland said. “While there is an individual right to own a gun, it’s not unlimited. If Congress or a state or local government can show why we can put a limitation or a ban, then we can do it.”
I cannot think of a more legitimate interest than protecting our citizens and our nation’s children from weapons of war. In 1992, former attorneys general Nicholas Katzenbach, Ramsey Clark, Elliot L. Richardson, Edward H. Levi, Griffin B. Bell and Benjamin R. Civiletti summed up our lack of progress in a joint statement: “The nation can no longer afford to let the gun lobby’s distortion of the Constitution cripple every reasonable attempt to implement an effective national policy towards guns and crime.”
This statement is as applicable today as it was 21 years ago. We must address the issue of gun violence and mass shootings once and for all. But to do so, there must be an informed counter-movement against the gun lobby’s misinformation about the Second Amendment.

In response to “ASUA Senate votes against tobacco-free campus resolution” (by Stephanie Casanova, Sept. 19)
How do you not vote in favor of this? This is ridiculous, even disregarding the emotional and health aspects of the bill, that these student leaders, who are meant to represent the student body, can disregard the survey. Take in consideration the fact that the survey polled more students than any senator received in votes for their own election for office. The Senate is inexperienced and needs to mature quickly to effectively represent not just the 5 percent of students who elected them, but the student body.
— It’s Going to be a Long year
What I see more is an effort to socially engineer the U of A student, to try to make a cleaner and greener individual instead of letting them promote creativity and individuality. This is the problem in feel-goodism. The ASUA makes laws that don’t really do anything to address student health but alienate certain student groups, in this case smokers. Smoking isn’t healthy, but it’s not the U of A’s job to be policing the autonomy of the students and faculty. One day it’s gun owners, and another day it’s people who don’t recycle, and then it’s people who smoke.
And who’s going to enforce such a resolution? The police? They have better things to do than to enforce laws that, in reality, aren’t supposed to be on their to-do list.
And I think this is extremely inconsistent. We shouldn’t be trying to fight a war on smokers, drugs, guns, women, anything or anybody. Just because smoking is unhealthy doesn’t mean we should be using force to stop smoking. This is just another waste of education dollars that could probably be better spent in the real interests of the student body.
This only promotes my conclusion that what rights don’t get infringed off-campus do get infringed upon on campus.
— FedUp
The idea of the initiative is not to force people to quit smoking. It is to keep the secondhand smoke off campus to build a cleaner and healthier environment for the faculty, students and visitors. For the same reasons hospitals do not allow smoking on their premises or restaurants do not allow smoking inside their establishment or within a certain distance for it. And how hard is it to walk across the street for a cigarette break?
— ?
You obviously don’t understand the inconvenience to walk off campus to smoke a
cigarette. I am in accordance with the Senate because although there are way more non-smokers on campus, they are looking out for the other students, like me. Also, about the statistics, how many of the people surveyed were non-smokers? And how many of them were smokers? Just something to think about.
— Done
But to circumvent this “inconvenience to walk off campus to smoke a cigarette,” they would be providing free Nicotine replacement therapy to those who want it. They allow enough time for people to be aware and decide whether they may want to quit or not.
According to the statistics on the UA Campus Health Website, 79 percent of students do not use tobacco. So the 70 percent statistic of students who support the tobacco-free policy is very representative of the student population here.
— Not Done
How many were smokers and how many were not that were surveyed? If the majority were non-smokers than, obviously, the statistics have a bias.
— Fed up with fed up
It seems like you are asking for a 44,000 sample survey, if you want an absolutely unbiased sample. That is not feasible and is not done even in published research. That’s why we have randomization for samples, because it’s not possible to get an answer from an entire population.

Right to possess guns not absolute

Last week, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona failed to
fulfill its primary mission of representing the UA student body.
At their regular Wednesday meeting, ASUA members discussed a resolution supporting the Student Health Advocacy Committee’s Tobacco-Free UA Policy Implementation Plan. In the plan, SHAC members presented the findings of a 2012 Health and Wellness Survey administered by UA Campus Health Service, where 70.2 percent of undergraduate students said they supported making the UA campus tobacco-free.
Five senators voted against the resolution, two voted in favor and one abstained.
ASUA President Morgan Abraham said he plans to collect student survey data and hold forums to hear what students have to say about the issue of smoking on campus by October. Abraham also said he made the Senate aware of his plans to gather student input, which would indicate that the Senate cast its vote prematurely before hearing from students.
“My office has been planning
these focus groups, so I’m not quite sure where the disconnect was,” Abraham said.
This premature vote exposes a serious problem with how the Senate is operating. The Senate’s actions directly conflicted with its job description, which states that “each one of the senators is elected at large to represent the 40,000+ students at the University.”
Although the Senate doesn’t have the final say in whether the UA becomes tobacco-free, its vote will be considered when Faculty Senate discusses the issue. Now, the Faculty Senate will be considering a vote that, in actuality, isn’t representative of the student body.
Students cannot be fairly represented if no one considers their opinion.
“It was definitely frustrating seeing the Senate kind of ignore [the survey’s results] and do what they think is best, instead of what the student body has
clearly stated,” Abraham said.ASUA Sen. Christopher
Chavez said that he asked smokers about their thoughts on the resolution in the days leading up to the vote, but a few smokers around campus are a blatantly biased sample and only represent a fraction of the student body.
This was a pathetic attempt to engage students and must
not set the precedent for the rest of the year.
If the Senate is unable to work with its own president, how can students be expected to work directly with, or for, them? The communication
breakdown is evident, not only with the campus, but within ASUA itself, and the issue is larger than one vote.
ASUA Sen. Grant Suman said Senate members looked into current university policy and reached out to SHAC to discuss its plan. However, SHAC Director Stephanie Kha said only
three senators approached her to discuss the implementation plan.
Kha said she plans to meet with the senators to discuss how SHAC members can revise the policy in such a way that senators would be more open to voting yes to a tobacco-free campus. The Senate has also indicated that revoting on the proposal at a later date is a possibility if the SHAC policy is revised.
It is the responsibility of our senators to go beyond polling a few students they happen to encounter around campus. Students should feel represented, not ignored.
Either the senators need to engage with students through surveys, forums and other means of communication, or they need to consider changing their job description.

POLICE BEAT BY MICAH MONTIELThe Daily Wildcat
When exes attack Two UA students were arrested and booked into Pima County
Jail for assault of a minor and aggravated domestic violence Thursday at 10:10 a.m.
Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were called to one of the campus parking garages when cries for help were heard coming from a car. When the officers arrived, a man and a woman, later identified as the man’s ex-girlfriend, were found arguing by the vehicle.
Earlier that day, the man had given the woman a ride to class, along with his sister and his sister’s friend. Once his sister and her friend left the car, he told the woman that he was not going to class, so she should get out of the car.
The woman tried to convince the man to get out of the car and go to the classes he had been missing, but he refused.
When she refused to leave him alone in the car, a physical fight began. While the man was trying to get his ex-girlfriend out of his car, he bit her on the arm. She reportedly pushed him while trying to get into the driver’s seat and resist his efforts to get her out of the car.
When officers separated the students, they both admitted to fighting.
After the officer arrested the man, the man said he had been arrested twice before for domestic violence, once through the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and once through the Tucson Police Department.
The woman was booked for failure to appear in court for a different domestic violence criminal damage case.
Both the man and woman were arrested and taken to the Pima County Jail where a felony interim was completed.
A code of conduct referral was also sent to the Dean of Students Office.
Caught green-handed A UA student was cited and released for shoplifting from the
UofA Bookstore on Thursday at 3:15 p.m. A UAPD officer was called to the bookstore after a security
officer saw a student on video taking a green T-shirt and hiding it on his person. The security officer confronted the student as he was trying to leave the bookstore.
The student told the officer that he was a pledge in a fraternity, and that all pledges were supposed to be wearing green shirts. While he was walking to class, an active member of the fraternity had seen him not wearing a green shirt and told him to find a green shirt and put it on.
The student was planning on going to a store off campus later in the day to buy a green shirt, then bringing the shirt he was stealing back to the bookstore. He stated that he didn’t want to keep it.
The student was cited and released for shoplifting. He was banned from all UA bookstores.
He was escorted out of the store and a code of conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students Office.

Arizona football has many preparations to make for the Pac-12 Conference opening game against the Washington Huskies this Saturday. One in particular is ignoring distractions.
Washington spent $280 million on renovations to Husky Stadium. The changes included removing the track that surrounded the stadium, which brought seats closer to the sidelines. The new seating capacity is about 70,000.
Head coach Rich Rodriguez said there is no doubt that the crowd will be loud on Saturday.
In Monday’s press conference, Rodriguez said the coaching staff does its best to prepare the squad for the distractions they will face. This includes simulating crowd noises during practices.
Senior quarterback B.J. Denker said he has heard stories about Husky Stadium from teammates who have played there. According to Denker, they have all said it’s the loudest stadium they’ve played at.
“We anticipate it being nuts,” Denker said. “We’ve been working on silent counts and playing with our speakers.”
Denker will be making his second start on the road.
“I personally like playing on the road more than at home, for the simple fact that you silence a crowd, I think that’s the craziest thing as a competitor,” Denker said.
Sophomore linebacker Sir Thomas Jackson said he is looking forward to playing in Husky Stadium.
Jackson comes to Arizona from O’Dea High School in the Seattle area. Besides the time his youth football team played on the field at Husky Stadium, this will be Jackson’s first time competing there.
Jackson said his family, friends and even his high school coach will be in the stands on Saturday.
“I’ve had this written on my schedule
for two years now,” Jackson said. The last game Jackson attended at
Husky Stadium was when he was a junior in high school. It was Washington against then No. 3 USC, when the Huskies upset the Trojans 16-13.
“It was so loud,” Jackson said. “I couldn’t hear myself talking.”
Although the atmosphere will be intense, Rodriguez joked that it’s just a football game—the players aren’t going to have guns and knives.
Rodriguez said he helps keep his nerves at bay by remembering
something receiver and former College Football Hall of Fame nominee Chris George said, while Rodriguez was coaching at Glenville State. During warm-ups for the NAIA semi-final, Rodriguez said he couldn’t even watch — he was more nervous than anyone. But George said something that stuck with Rodriguez: “Coach, don’t worry about it — they can’t eat us.”
Head cross country coach and associate head track and field coach James Li has worked for the UA since 2002 and sees improvement every season.
Li has been in Arizona for 11 years, but had plenty of coaching experience before he came to the UA. Li has coached at Washington State, Minnesota State University at Mankato and has been a part of the U.S. National and Olympic coaching staffs.
After this last weekend’s first and only home meet of the season, the Dave Murray Invitational, Li gave his status reports on the teams:
Daily Wildcat: What do you think of this year’s team after the first two meets of the season? How are the new runners fitting in and adjusting to collegiate cross country?
Li: “Well, I think we’re getting better, both men’s and women’s team. You know, of course, [the] women’s team was really good last year and we are indeed getting better. I think it really means a lot. A few of the guys are doing really well … The new people really contribute significantly, to probably take the team somewhere where we haven’t been before.”
Arizona indoor volleyball will open Pac-12 Conference play on the road against possibly the best ASU team in years.
This past weekend, the UA (10-2) won all three matches in the Wildcat Classic tournament. Now, the Wildcats turn their attention to the challenge of conference play. The match will be at 8 p.m. and broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.
Head coach Dave Rubio said that he thinks this year’s ASU team is the best they have had since he became the head coach of the Wildcats 21 years ago. The No. 16 Sun Devils (11-1) have dominated
their opponents so far this season, and in the 11 matches they have won, they haven’t lost a single set.
This match will be something of a homecoming for a few of the Wildcats, as junior outside hitter Madi Kingdon and freshman setter Penina Snuka are both from the Phoenix area. Kingdon was recently named Pac-12 offensive player of the week and Snuka was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week.
This season, Kingdon leads the team with 182 kills and Snuka has 443 assists, 96 digs — which is fourth on the team — and 20 blocks. Kingdon said she knows the Sun Devils will be a tough task.
“Their team looks pretty good this year,” Kingdon said. “Macey Gardner is a good hitter. I’ve been against her since I
was in club, so I’ve known her for a while … but if we scout them right, I think we will be able to beat them.”
Outside hitter Gardner has 168 kills this year, followed by freshman outside hitter BreElle Bailey with 107 kills. Freshman setter Bianca Arellano leads the team with 415 assists and senior libero Stephanie Preach has the most digs on the team with 176.
Senior libero Candace Nicholson leads the Wildcats with 183 digs on the season, and in the last match against UC Santa Barbara, she set the UA all-time record for most career digs.
“ASU is one of those teams that always has a lot of energy and that always keeps them in the game,” Nicholson said. “They’re really scrappy, similar to Santa
Barbara.” After four weekends of multi-team
tournaments, Arizona shifts to the one- match-a-day schedule of the Pac-12.
“It’s a little bit harder for sure. I have two days to prepare for ASU. For Santa Barbara, I had three hours. So it’s a little bit harder, but the bottom line is you still have to execute,” Rubio said after Saturday’s match against UC Santa Barbara.
Last season, the rivals split the season series, with each team winning 3-1 at home. Arizona has a narrow 42-40 lead in the all-time series.

How do you feel about the times from this meet and this course in particular?
“The time varies quite significantly from year to year, because of the course and how thick the grass is, how hot it is, all those things. And also, the competition, who’s
running and all that stuff. I mean, [Friday]’s time is not particularly fast, but I’m very satisfied with all of our athletes and what they have done here. [This is] our traditional course, it’s always been here and the course is somewhat of a slow course. Especially with the heat, it’s not really a place to run fast. NAU and ASU, I don’t think they ran their strongest team today … we didn’t either.”
How do you feel about next weekend’s meet in Minneapolis?
“It’s going to be a considerably bigger meet. There is going to be a lot of teams, so we’ll be looking forward to that. It’s going to be a real competition for sure.”
We understand that Nationals is the main goal for this season, but what other goals do you have for the team?
“Finish high in the Pac-12 Championships. That’s always [a goal]. You want to finish high in the Conference Championships, and then you want to go to Nationals and then finish high at Nationals.”
The Wildcats’ next meet is Saturday, in Minneapolis for the Griak Invitational.

Week 5 will give us a better understanding of where the Wildcats stand
Defeating NAU, UNLV and UTSA by a combined score of 131-26 is nice but not really relevant to the power rankings.
Three games into the season, it’s clear the Wildcats’ defense has improved and junior running back Ka’Deem Carey hasn’t lost a step from his 2012 All-American season. How much the defense has improved and how much better Carey is has yet to be determined. Saturday’s game at No. 16 Washington will shed a light on those unanswered questions.
The Huskies entered the season with similar questions, but through
their non-conference schedule have answered many of them by beating challenging opponents with a combined score of 128-30, including then No. 19 Boise State 38-6 and the Illinois in Chicago. Arizona’s non-conference success is less impressive in comparison, causing Washington to shoot up in the power rankings while the Wildcats have stagnated in the middle of the Pac-12 Conference.
After a close and controversial victory at home in week three against then No. 20 Wisconsin, ASU hoped to silence doubters with a road victory at No. 5 Stanford this past week. A road win over the Cardinal would have easily given the Sun Devils an identity and a place atop the conference. However, Stanford thrashed ASU, suggesting that its victory over the Badgers the week prior was not as defining as it had hoped.
This week, the Sun Devils have another opportunity to regain some
prominence as they host a struggling but always noteworthy USC team on national television.
The Cardinal this week can’t afford to overlook its opponent. Stanford is on the edge of becoming the Pac-12’s alpha dog. But its opposition this week, Washington State, is thirsty for power.
WSU hasn’t been in the top half of any Pac-12 power rankings since 2003, its last winning season. Already with a victory over a then-nationally ranked USC and a close loss to SEC powerhouse Auburn, the Cougars have almost solidified themselves as a top-half team.
If they can upset Stanford on national television at home, they would absolutely separate themselves from the clogged middle with Arizona, USC and ASU.

The Red Cup Q&A is written by Lynn Reyes, LCSW, LSAC, David Salafsky, MPH, Lee Ann Hamilton, MA, CHES, and Spencer Gorin, RN, in the Health Promotion and Preventive Services (HPPS) department of the UA Campus Health Service.
The short answer is: faster than you may think, with immediate effects being felt in as little as 10
minutes. While the feelings of alcohol consumption kick inquickly, the rate at which alcohol is eliminated/metabolizedby the body is a slow process.On average, the liver can onlyprocess about one standarddrink per hour.
First and foremost, alcohol is absorbed into the body. The molecular properties of ethanol allow it to easily passthrough membranes and quickly reach all cells and tissueswithin the body. Most of it (~80%) gets in the bloodstreamby passing through the walls of the small intestine. Theother 20% gets absorbed through the lining of the stomach.The absorption process takes a little longer if your stomachis “busy” digesting food, which is why you feel alcohol’seffects faster if you drink on an empty stomach. Chow downa burrito from Highland Market beforehand, and the alcoholstill charts the same course, but it takes a little longer toreach your bloodstream, and you’ll likely have a moresustained, enjoyable “buzz” as a result.
That’s the physical side of alcohol, but there’s more to thestory. Ever notice how after a busy day, that first taste ofbeer when you are out with friends is instantly relaxing?Well, that has everything to do with our expectationsaround alcohol. Cracking open a can is enough to signal to our brain that it’s time to chill, time tohave some fun, time to be a little more socialand outgoing. So, in a way, alcohol’s effectscan even be felt before the very first sip.

Today marks the first day of UA Career Services’ two-day career fair, which aims to provide students with information about obtaining permanent positions and preparing for internships. Following a few simple steps could help you avoid wearing
something too informal to an interview that calls for a suit, or vice versa.
Jared & The Mill have had their fair share of exposure. Since forming in the summer of 2011 , the indiefolk six-piece group from Tempe has shared the stage with the likes of Bad Religion , The Shins , The Killers , Youngblood Hawke , Flogging Molly and The Roots .
Jared & The Mill will perform at the UA to kick off a tour that will include much of the Southwest and cities as far north as Seattle. The band is scheduled to play the Student Union Memorial Center’s North Plaza Stage tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. for the Wildcat Events Board’s Press Play Wednesday . The event is free for students.
The band’s first album, Western Expansion, dropped on Sept. 17. Since then, Jared & The Mill have been gearing up for their upcoming tour.
“We’re just mentally preparing for the next month of our lives,” said lead vocalist Jared Kolesar .
Considering the group’s Arizona roots and upcoming tour, Kolesar said, the new
record’s title fit perfectly.“Western Expansion was a fitting name for
the album, because we’re starting to expand and become an entity within the West Coast music scene.” Kolesar said. “It all played together really nicely, but it wasn’t really planned that way. A lot of things have just fallen into place that we can’t really explain.”
The group formed after Kolesar asked childhood friend and banjo player Michael Carter if he would be interested in starting a band.
Kolesar said he then took a chance and called Larry Gast III, a respected local guitarist.
After playing a few songs with Carter, Gast and percussionist Josh Morin that same afternoon, Kolesar said the vibe was positive, and soon invited bass player Chuck Morriss to join them.
Jared & the Mill have recently been promoted as upcoming artists by mtvU and radio station My103.9 Phoenix .
The group’s home state of Arizona has been especially supportive of the band, Kolesar said, with radio stations around the state playing its music.
“We’re all deeply rooted in the state, so it’s really cool to see people from all over the state getting behind us,” Kolesar said. “It’s a really good confidence booster for what we’re about to do, because it’s always a little daunting w hen you find out how long you’re going to be away from home.”
Kolesar said the band is excited to expand its audience with Wednesday’s show.
“What we really want is to add ourselves to the culture of youth within Tucson,” he said. “We’re really excited to come out and meet people, so we really hope people are willing to come out and meet us and hang out.”

Dressing for the job
Research your intended position
Certain jobs require specific attention to detail. Before applying, understand the position you are interested in . Positions that require large amounts of trust, money or tradition, such as law or banking, typically call for a more conventional mentality with solid colors, neutral tones and clean silhouettes.
If you fall into the category of journalism, design or roles with liberal arts experience, don’t be afraid to mix and match textures that are in the same color family. Applying for a retail position means wearing something identifiable from that specific store. But unless the job calls for knowledge of cutting edge fashion, stay away from bold colors or distracting prints.
For men, try to own at least one suit that is perfectly tailored to your body, as it will make a strong difference in your perceived professionalism . For females, keep your heels lower than four inches when interviewing for a position in a corporate setting; you don’t want to be stumbling around in stilettos while your interviewer gives you a tour.

Know what to avoid
You only have one chance to make a solid first impression to your employer, so be mindful of what could instantly turn them off. According to the Professional Dress for Interviews section of the Career Services website, avoid any article of clothing that may not be deemed conservative. Professional, clean-cut suits should be a given.
“Wear minimal jewelry. Try to limit yourself to a watch if possible,” said Susan Miller-Pinhey , marketing and special events manager at Career Services.
Understand that all employers, no matter the setting, will look down on an outfit that seems ostentatious or distasteful.
“If you’re going in for an interview, what you want to avoid is bold colors,” said Derrick Roberts, an electrical engineering junior and operations manager at Men’s Wearhouse . “I wouldn’t wear super bright colors, or I wouldn’t wear an olive-colored suit because that’s a very old-fashioned suit and you don’t want to go old-fashioned or odd.”

Mix it upSome jobs might have you go
through a three-part interview: A one-on-one interview, a group interview, and “on the floor” interviews which will determine how you fit in and function within the environment.
Depending on the position that you’re applying for, it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll need to access a variety of outfits.
“A lot of times we’ll have two looks set up,” Roberts said. “So you have your charcoal-colored suit with your white and red tie, which is a very standard look that’s very conservative, very appealing to the eyes.
“And then when you walk in for your second interview, you’ve got your blue shirt and gold tie which is much more striking but still very professional and it shows a difference in your wardrobe, but also shows you know how to dress yourself in a multitude of ways.”

For a corporate setting, keep your outfit easy and simple. A
well-structured outfit will always go over well
Break up this outfit’s simple silhouette with a
chunky necklace
A dainty rose-gold watch adds a subtle
feminine touch
Outside the realms of a corporate setting, settle for an outfit that’s more
breathable and fun
Play with textures and patterns, such as this navy and white
striped blazer paired with chiffon, blush
colored shorts
If applying for a retail position, wear
something notable from that specific company, be
it jewelry or ballet flats
Should you decide to wear a suit to a corpo-rate interview, keep the lapels of your jacket a
decent width apart
Your tie should complement your suit, with its size matching that of
your lapels
Make sure your pants
fit well, with a comfort-
able balance between
skinny and baggy
It’s important to ac-cent your wardrobe
with a classic wristwatch, as it boasts a sense of
elegance while ad-hering to tradition
A striped dress shirt, black slacks and
loafers provide an air of nonchalance
Depending on how casual your
intended position is, the sleeves of the dress shirt can be
rolled up for breath-ability
A chain link or leather
strapped watch can add some
personality and pull this entire outfit together
