No Party policy
and innovative amenities and
services thrives in Tucson
also went to the Corn Maze for Halloween and to the International
Festival of Tucson. And that was just for October!
Sahara is still the only student building in Tucson that will give
every resident a FREE bicycle to ride while living at Sahara. We
even maintain and repair the bikes for free. And Sahara is the only
student building that takes its residents grocery and mall shopping
every weeknight.
Sahara Apartments is in its 10th year of operation as a student

housing project in Tucson. Ted Mehr, the owner of Sahara
Apartments, has introduced a lot of innovations to the Tucson student
housing market.
Ted, who still manages the building on a day to day basis,
developed this project as the paranoid father of a college age
daughter, who was concerned about his own daughters safety and
comfort when she had gone to live on her own while attending college.
Some of Teds ideas have been duplicated by others, and some are
still unique to Sahara.
For example, Sahara is still the only building that does not
allow parties on site. Our motto is The oasis for QUIET student
living. At Sahara you are guaranteed a quiet environment. If anyone
violates the rules, the residents can call the owner, Ted, no matter
what time of day or night. And he will drive down to the building to
make sure the violators understand that the policy is really enforced.
When students move into Sahara, they get Teds cell phone AND
home phone numbers, you know, just in case the cell phone runs
out of battery right when someone needs to call. All residents are
encouraged to call Ted if they feel uncomfortable about anything.
That sort of attitude is not something that you will get from the
corporate-owned high rise competition.
In case you think our no party policy means no fun, you should
know that Sahara has an activity director who organizes many
group activities sponsored by Sahara where the residents get an
opportunity to get together and do fun things as a group. For instance
at the time of this writing, for the month of October, we took our
residents to Mt. Lemmon for the October Fest, Sabino Canyon for a
13 mile hike, Tucson Meet Yourself event downtown, had a game
night on site with free food and refreshments, and a movie night. We
Sahara is also the only student building that provides hotel

accommodations on site, where visiting family and friends can stay
when they come to visit our residents. The hotel also accommodates
professors, researchers, workshop attendees and many groups of
international students that are placed at Sahara by the University.
We treat our residents like they are expensive works of art in
a museum. Our gated community is protected with an infrared
beam system that alerts the owner with an automatic cellphone call
if someone trespasses by climbing over the walls. Our 80 security
cameras record all events at
the perimeter of the building
and in the public areas.
And our staff who live on
site are ready to respond if
required. These are some of
the reasons why in our 10
year history we have never
received a Red Tag from
the police department.
Offering shuttle service to and from the campus is now standard
practice for a lot of buildings, but we do it every half hour from
7 AM to 7 PM, on every school day.
At Sahara, you can enjoy the privacy of having your own studio
apartment for a lot less than a single occupancy room at the Residence
Halls, or to share an apartment at one of the high rise buildings with
people whose lifestyles may not be compatible with yours.
While we admit we are not for everybody, nor do we want to be, there
is a lot more that you should know about Sahara before you decide
what your choice of student housing should be.
Check out our website and find out why Sahara has
become more popular each year as the word has
spread that you can have a safe and quiet environment
and still have fun.

Beauties: The Photography of Andy

Warhol
Saturday, February 14 Sunday, June 14
One of the most significant artists of the
twentieth century, Warhol changed the
art world in the 1960s with his Pop Art
paintings and screenprints. While photography had long been important to his
work, it was not until Warhol was sued
for copyright infringement that he began
to take and use his own photographs.
Throughout the 1970s and up until his
death in 1987, Warhol took Polaroids and
made them into screenprints for commission. He also carried a small 35mm
camera everywhere in order to capture
his environment. Through a generous gift
from The Warhol Photographic Legacy
Program, the UAMA is able to present
these photographs, which make up an important and commonly overlooked part of
Warhols working process.
Salvador Dal: Our Historical Heritage
Saturday, February 14 Sunday, June 14
Salvador Dal (1904-1989) is most famous
for the bizarre, dreamlike paintings he
created as a member of the Surrealist
movement. After having split from Surrealism in 1939, he began to explore religious themes in his art. In the portfolio
Our Historical Heritage of 1975, he depicts
events and figures of the Old Testament.

McKale face-lift
UA upgrades seats, locker
areas, lights in 1973-built arena
By Mike Chesnick
Donning a hard hat, Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne gave reporters a tour of the nearly renovated
McKale Center last year, showing off
the arena like it was a new house.
In many ways, the venerable,
42-year-old facility does feel new.
After a $30 million renovation,
McKale has all-new seating, with padded navy blue seats with cupholders
making up all nonstudent areas below the upper concourse. The mens
and womens basketball teams have
upgraded locker areasas good as
any in the Pac-12, Byrne saysthat
include new film and coaches rooms
and kitchens, while the indoor and
sand volleyball teams each have new
locker rooms.
Throw in the arenas new LED
lighting, more bathrooms and larger
concession areaswith television
sets, so fans wont miss the actionand you can see why Byrne is
smiling a lot these days.
School calls the $30

million renovation a
game-changer for
players, recruits and fans
Were getting a lot for our $30
million, said Byrne, who thanked
renovation donors such as Cole and
Jeannie Davis, ex-Wildcat Steve and
Margot Kerr and George Kalil. Its an
exciting time for Arizona athletics as
we continue to make progress and
move forward.
All the padded navy seats have a
red A stitched in them. Unpadded
red seats line the upper concourse
and far upper seats, which used to
be yellow. The Zona Zoo student
section has unpadded seats alternating in navy and red, which makes up
a big A visible to recruits when the
arena is empty.
UA mens basketball coach Sean

Miller and womens coach Niya
Butts both called the new McKale a
game-changer in terms of recruiting.
Weve always had an amazing
atmosphere at McKale, says Miller,
who took the Wildcats to the NCAA
tournaments Elite Eight for the
second time in four seasons in 2014.
Now, in addition to our great fans,
we basically have a brand-new arena.
Its not an attempt to go overboard,
but an attempt to compete for a
national championship. No player
prospects will leave here with an
impression that Arizona doesnt have
what so-and-so has.
This is best of the best, across the
board.
About 155 seats have been added
to McKale, bringing its capacity to
14,700, after seats in the southwest
and southeast corners were added
when two tunnels were eliminated.
Now, a single players tunnel is under
the middle of the south stands. The
other two entrances to the court
remain the two corner exits in the
northwest and northwest sides.
Its not often that Im speechless, Butts says. But when it all came
together, and I walked into the arena,
I was speechless.

visible to recruits.

advantages compared
to the rest.
Student housing properties offer many choices depending on your budget. But few offer
safety, comfort, modern amenities, quiet environment, AND a low price. Yes, our lower
monthly rents include all utilities, satellite TV hookup, and high-speed Internet.
Compared to the dorms:
Sahara offer many advantages compared to the dorms. While dorm rooms are just rooms
Sahara studio apartments have their own private baths and kitchens. Whether you select
single or double occupancy, you will be shocked by how much you can save compared to
the dorms. When you consider that Sahara is only 1 mile west of the campus and offers free
shuttle service every half hour, and free bicycles for you to ride, living at Sahara really is a
no-brainer. How much will you save? Check our web site and click on Floor Plans and Rental
Rates and then on Sahara Versus UofA Rates.
Compared to privately owned student properties:
At Sahara, you can rent a studio Apartment and live by yourself for a lot less than you would
have to pay for a bed and bath in one of the new High Rise buildings. Or if your budget is the
most important consideration, we can match you with a roommate so you will pay about 1/3
of what they would charge you at one of the High Rises.
There are other apartment buildings that also offer lower rates than the dorms and the High
Rise Towers, but none offers the range of amenities and services that Sahara does. Some offer
beautiful grounds but their beauty is only skin deep. Read the reviews about the apartments
you are thinking of renting. One place to check is www.ApartmentRatings.com. The
reason Sahara has such high ratings compared to most other buildings is that Sahara is
the only major student property in Tucson that is locally owned and owner managed on
a daily basis.
Here is a list of some of our amenities and services:
Our famous No Party Policy creates a

quiet environment 7 days a week.
Sahara sponsors social events on-and
offsite, and has recreational facilities
to encourage exercise, games, and fun

Putting their best feet forward

By Mike Chesnick
Just off the UA Mall at the east end
of campus stands the Stevie Eller
Dance Theatre, a striking building
named one of Arizonas top architectural wonders.
Its here, in a studio overlooking the mall, where dance students
undergo rigorous training and dream
of performing for prestigious companies one day.
The world is indeed at their feet.
Just ask recent graduates Laura
Kaufman and Adam Houston.
Kaufman took advantage of UAs
versatile School of Danceranked as
the nations top program among pub-
24
Students use UAs

top-ranked School
of Dance as a
launching pad for
professional careers
lic universitiesand landed a job
with the City Ballet of San Diego for a
season before moving to her dream
company, the Odyssey Dance Theatre
in Salt Lake City.
The UA dance program is an incredibly special one, Kaufman says.
I would not be where I am today as

a dancer or person without it.I was
given countless opportunities to perform in pieces of all different genres
of dance.
UAs program has about 125 dance
majors, and more than a third are
men, which is a higher percentage
than most schools. Houston actually had no formal dance training
when he came to UA as an 18-year-old
freshman. But under his first mentor,
UA visiting professor James Clouser,
Houston went on to become the
schools Outstanding Senior for the
2013 graduating class and earned a
contract with Giordano Dance Chicago, a jazz-based company in Chicago.
The School of Dance essentially

made me the dancer I am today,
Houston says. At U of A, there are
many performance opportunities
which allow you to be comfortable on
stage. Also, the way you are trained
allows you to pick up choreography
very quickly, a skill you need in a
company.
UA offers a tripletrack curriculum in
ballet, modern dance
and jazz dance, with
equal emphasis on
Adam Houston
each, says Whitney
Herr-Buchholz, assistant to the director in the School of Dance.
This means that dancers in our
program become well-rounded and
have a wide spectrum of professional
opportunities available to them upon
graduation, she says. We offer about
40 performances a year, more than
any other program in the country.
Those performances still resonate
with Kaufman and Houston.
As a sophomore, Kaufman danced
the lead role in Clousers production

of Carmina Buranaa life-changing role, she says, that improved
her technical and acting skills. As
a senior year, she danced the principal role in a version of acclaimed
choreographer George Balanchines
Rubies and learned how to master
the pas de deux, a duet in which two
dancers perform ballet steps together.
I was constantly pushed at UA,
Kaufman says, and expectations were
high, helping me to reach my fullest
possible potential.The professors are
truly invested in each dancers journey and help to transform and mold
each individual.
Her journey has taken her to Salt
Lake for the time being, and its been
a whirlwind for Kaufman, who began
performing for the Odyssey Dance
Theatre in September 2014. Lets see,
she toured for a month in the Halloween spectacular, Thriller, and
did a funky version of the Christmas
Nutcracker (Redux-Nutcracker),
and its off to Europe this spring for a

month-long tour.
This company is incredibly wellrounded and has the most inspiring,
positive energy, she says. I feel
extremely fortunate to have found a
company I love so much at such an
early stage in my career.
Houstons company has tours
planned to Italy, Austria and throughout the U.S., then a season at the
Harris Theater in Chicago. His favorite production at UA was his last

largest shows in which he performed

in, among others, Balachines Rubies as the principal male; Hi Jinx,
a comedic jazz piece by UA artist in
residence Sam Watson; and Clousers
Beachers, a story ballet. It was an
amazing experience to combine all
of my training at UA into one show,
Houston says.
At UA, Houston and Kaufman
honed their craft on stage at the Stevie Ellers 300-seat, state-of-the-art
theater. Its part of a 29,000-squarefoot complex, built in 2003, that
also has costume and scene shops,
a Pilates studio, dressing rooms and
the 3,500-square-foot studio with
windows looking to the UA Mall.
UAs 2015 spring schedule will
open with Color Wheel, a fun and
eclectic mix of choreography, HerrBuchholz says, that showcases new
work by faculty members Tamara
Dyke Compton and Michael Williams,
and the return of works by Clouser
and UA professor Doug Nielsen.
While not meant to be a concert
about love, it shows up as a subtle
theme throughout, says HerrBuchholz says. On the program is a
famous work by Balanchine called
Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux. Edward
Villella, a legendary American ballet
dancer and the originator of this role,
is visiting to coach the dancers.
Boundless is a program featuring
student choreography. I always love
the student spotlight shows because
they reflect diverse and innovative
perspectives. The student work blows
me away, Herr-Buchholz says.
Spring Collection is the finale
of the season. It will be lively, fresh,
and full of new works by almost all
members of our faculty, she says.
This is the culminating concert
for seniors ready to step into their
careers, and like all good finales, it
celebrates both the ending of the
season and the beginning of whats to
come.
Jory Hancock, director of the UA
School of Dance, oversees the pro-
gram that has helped launch diverse

careers for Kaufman, Houston and
other graduates. Most recently, women and men from UA have gone on
to the San Diego Ballet, Smuin Ballet,
River North Dance Chicago and Rochester City Ballet. Former students
have also gone onto Keigwin and
Company, American Ballet Theatre,
Radio City Rockettes, Houston Ballet,
and Broadway productions of Movin
Out, Wicked, A Chorus Line and
Phantom of the Opera.
We treat dancers in our program
like professionals from day one,
Herr-Buchholz says. They audition,
train and rehearse like professionals, so when they graduate and go out
into the world to audition they are
often met with success. Were very
proud of our graduates.
wHy BE A
DANCER?
Like many young girls, my
parents thought I might like ballet lessons as an after-school activity. But with me it really stuck.
I remember I was seven when I
decided that I wanted to be a
dancer. I loved the movement and
the music, and the challenge of
working every day to improve.
Dance has helped me in many
ways in my life. One aspect in
particular is that it requires you
to work closely with fellow dancers and rely on their strengths
and contributions, and for them
to rely on yours, in order to have
a successful performance. It
doesnt matter how long someone is on stage or what their part
is. Everyone is integral to the end
result. I think this is true for work
and for life in general.
Whitney Herr-Buchholz
assistant to the director at UA
school of dance, who danced professionally for the san francisco
and boston ballet companies and
has a fine arts degree from UA.

Unique Union
ArchitectUre honors Uss AriZonA

By Mike Chesnick
In his travels to different schools,
Jason Tolliver has seen some impressive student centers. But none can
match the unique design, he says, of
the University of Arizonas Student
Union Memorial Center.
Through its architecture and artifacts, the unions building honors the
USS Arizona and the 1,177 sailors and
marines who died when the battleship sank on Dec. 7, 1941, during
the Japanese surprise attack of Pearl
Harbor.
We model our program and our
focus after the USS Arizona, says
Tolliver, director of Arizona Student
Unions, who came to UA nearly two
years ago from LSU. Our military ties
make the union a very unique place.
In terms of history, there are only two
bells left from the USS Arizona, one
in Pearl Harbor and one here.
Looking north from the UA Mall,
the unions clock tower houses the
famous bell, and a large metal sculpture in front of the tower resembles a
mast and sail.
The bell is rung seven times on
the third Wednesday of every month
at 12:07 p.m. to honor the fallen and
UA achievements. By tradition, it is
also rung by the Wildcat Events Board
president on the Sunday before Pearl
Harbor Day, on the Student Unions
birthday (Nov. 18) and after Wildcat
athletic victories (over any team except Arizona schools).
The structure of the union represents the battleship, with the bow on
the south end and stern on the north
end. The Canyon, an outdoor walkway between the east and west sides
of the building, includes a massive
circular stairway intended to mimic
the shape of the USS Arizonas main

and activities
gun turret. In this rotunda, water
runs to fountain pools, intended to
subtly remind people of the waters
covering the ship, and anchor chains
and rusting steel plates add to the
abstract design of the ships hull.
My favorite place is down in the
rotunda, Tolliver says. I fancy myself a singer, without being a singer,
and I love the acoustics. You can go
down there and start bellowing out
songs.
The east wall of The Canyon is
curved to replicate a silhouette of
the ship and the colors and rocks
that make up the wall represent the
layers of Arizonas canyons. North of
the canyon, in a traffic circle, stands
an 18-foot ships mast sculpture by
Susan Gamble. Hanging from the
diamond-shape Gods Eye are 1,177
dog tags with the names of the fallen
men. Tags of the 334 survivors hang
above the tiled portion of the mast.
Southeast of the
rotunda, on the unions
main level 2, is the USS
Arizona Lounge, filled
with photographs, uniforms and other artifacts
from the ship. Heavy brass
doors from the Union's
original facility built in 1951
serve as the entryways to
the lounge, where students
can study and visitors can put
on headsets and view several
video interviews with men
who survived the attack.
One man on the video,
Donald Stratton, is among nine
Pearl Harbor survivors still alive
today. Now 92, he tells how a
fireball engulfed the crew, burning us real bad, before he and five
other sailors were thrown a rope and
muscled their way, hand over hand,
about 100 feet over fiery waters to
safety.
The lounge was dedicated in early
2003, part of the grand opening of the
new Student Union. Some exhibits
are from the old Union, which UA
tore down in a $60 million reconstruction project that began in 1999.
At the dedication, attended by
Navy veterans, Capt. William Christman of the U.S. Navy ROTC spoke
of the long and deep relationship
between a great ship and a great
university, and how the American
people should never forget Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona.
Frankly, its a story we dont tell
enough, echoes Tolliver.
The lounge is one of eight
spread throughout the four-level,
405,000-square foot Student
Union itself a bustling community
left: visitors can view photos, uniforms

and other memorabilia connected to the
battleship in the USS Arizona Lounge.
By the numbers
9.3: Acres under the Student Union roof, or 405,000 square feet.
1,400: Employees at the Student Union, including about 1,000 students.
50,000: About how many people visit the union every day.
1944: The year Wilbur l. bill bowers, a 1927 UA alum, saved one of two
USS Arizona bells from being melted down at naval yard in bremerton,
Washington. he helped the UA acquire the bell in 1946 and in 2002, at age
99, rang it inside the new Student Union clock tower.
1951: When the original UA Student Union opened. The renovated union
opened in early 2003.
4 a.m.: The time executive pastry chef Manja blackwood arrives to start

of 15 restaurants and cafes, a movie

theater, a post office, art galleries,
a 20,000-foot ballroom, 22 meeting rooms, a copy center and a
cellar with a computer lab, comedy
stage and a video and game arcade.
The enormous UA Bookstore with a
Starbucks, and other leased spaces
that include a bank and Kaplan Test
Prep, are not run by Arizona Student
Unions.
If Old Main is the front porch of
campus, we are the living room, dining room and den, says Sara Rohde,
assistant director of Arizona Student
Unions for marketing and event
services.
All right, then, heres a quick look
at whats under the Unions roof.
Food
In all, Arizona Student Unions

operates 39 eateries, including those
in Park Student Union and other sites
like Arizona Stadium and Highland
Market. A new food truck is set to
move around campus this spring.
At last count, we serve about
26,000 meals a day, Rohde says.
Thats a lot of food, and all of the
UA menus and catering fall under
the direction of Michael Omo, the
schools award-winning senior executive chef who arrived in October 2013
after working at the MGM Grand in
Las Vegas and other hotels. Omo says
he likes to work with young people
and share fun, healthy food ideas. He
recently won a creativity award for
mini-grilled cheese sandwiches on
lollipop sticks.
I take whats happening in the
industry at the time and look at the
seasonality of things , Omo says.
Im a very humble person. I cant
take credit for the chocolate chip
cookieweve been doing it for
thousands of yearsbut how can I
make it better? Thats my goal.
Before the union renovation,
students had limited eatery choices.
Three curving elevator balconies mimic the USS Arizona's bridge.
Old places like Louies Lower Level

and the Fiddlee Fig have given way
to 15 current eateries or cafes. Some
eateries use herbs grown in a greenhouse on top of the Union, and local
produce from nearby UA gardens.
Students can eat inside or outside
on several patios.
Our Union is unique in the way
it maximizes our Arizona weather,
Tolliver says. Our students love to
spend time outdoors.
So much so that Tolliver hopes the
union can some day extend eating areas outside so resataurants like Sabor
Mexican Fare can open up to the mall.
Fun
On the first Friday of every month,

the Union hosts Live at 5 at the
north plaza, where local and campus
music groups play. The plaza is south
of the Second Street parking garage.
The Gallagher Theater, on the main
floor, across from the food court, is
a 340-seat theater that shows blockbusters every Thursday and Sunday.
Midnight movies are still shown, just
like in the early 1970s when the old
Gallagher was built and had 630 seats.
The theater is named after Edward
Gallagher III, who contributed films
and art to the Student Union.
The Union also stages large-scale
events for students, including Taste
of the Union, Finals Survival Week
Paul O'Mara photo
Kick-Off and CatCrawl, which draws

1,600 students for late-night fun indoors, including free laser tag.
The Cellar game room boasts six
pool tables, ping pong and Wii, X-Box
360, PlayStation and arcade games.
quiet time
Students tired of voices can study

or wind down at seven lounges and
two art galleries in the main union.
The Honors, Diamond Atrium
and Kachina lounges are on the third
level, with Alumni Heritage and USS
Arizona on the second. The Cellar and
TV lounges are on the first level.
During finals week, the Union
holds free late-night pancake breakfasts at Cactus Grill, Park Avenue
Dining and the Bear Down Kitchen
at Arizona Stadium and specials
throughout the Union for stress relief.
The Union art gallery on the third
level is ever-changing and includes
art from students, faculty, alumni and
traveling exhibits. Clubs and organizations also have their offices in the
Union, including ASUA government.
A student center at its core
provides something for everyone on
campus, Tolliver says. You can take
a nap here, you can eat, you can study,
you can look for a job, you can get
counseling.
Or you can sing in the rotunda. You
have Tollivers permission.

Mark Mulroney: Somethings Dripping
Mark Mulroney describes his process
of creating the site-specific installation, Somethings Dripping, as similar to
writing a screenplay for a 1980s sitcom.
Recognizable characters inhabit his
subversive Disney-like world, but they are
teased into a bizarre Saturday morning
cartoon. Mulroneys paintings, drawings
and sculptural works within Somethings
Dripping illustrate a pubescent threshold
between innocence and the loss of incorruptibility.

Reading and rocking
festiVAl of books finds its grooVe

By Mike Chesnick
When Brenda Viner helped conceive the Tucson Festival of Books,
she hoped one day to coax an oldies rock band of famous authors to
open the event at the University of
Arizona.
Having the Rock Bottom Remainders perform has been a dream of
mine for seven years, Viner says.
I first started contacting them in
2008.
Her persistence paid off. The
Remainders will open the seventhannual festival Friday, March 13, at 8
p.m. in the Student Unions Grand
Ballroom.
Expected to play include
New York Times best-selling
authors Amy Tan (vocals),
Mitch Albom (keyboards),
Dave Barry (guitar), Scott
Turow (vocals), Ridley Pearson (bass), Ray Blount Jr.
(crowd pleaser) and Greg
Iles (guitar). Two of the
bands founders, Stephen
King (guitar) and
The Simpsons creator
Matt Groening
(cowbell), are
not scheduled to
play.
Barry, Albom,
Iles and Pearson
have some musical experience, but
the band relies on a
few ringers to help out.
Tan usually wears a wig,
knee-high boots, fishnet
stockings and carries a
whip on stage.
What really makes Viner
and other organizers giddy is
the band members agreement to
each speak and sign books on Satur-
38
The Rock Bottom

Remainders, a band
made up of famous
authors, will open the
event, then speak and
sign books the next day
day, March 14. Thats when the free

festival kicks off on the UA Mall and
across campus, featuring nearly 400
authors and 320 presentations at 36
venues. Attendance over the weekend
is expected to equal or surpass last
years 130,000, making TFOB the nations fourth-largest book festival.
The band and TFOB have similar
goals, Viner says.
They play to raise funds for literacy and we put on a book festival
to promote reading for all ages and
raise funds for Tucson literacy
programs, she said.
Play is probably a
strong term for what we do
with our instruments. I
would say a better term
is we hold our own
instruments, Barry jokingly said in
the Arizona Daily
Star, one of the
original sponsors
of the event.
Through shows
like the UA event,
the Remainders have
raised $2.6 million for literacy
programs over
the past 22
years, and the
book festival has
raised $1.05 million for local reading
programs in six years,
Viner says.
Viner and her husband,
Bill Viner, and fellow founders John Humenik, Frank
Farias and Bruce Beach
came up with the idea for a
festival in 2007 and gathered an amazing group
of committed volunteers
all with their own skills and
contacts to make the event happen,
Brenda Viner said.

More than 200 committee members volunteer year-round to put on
the event, which began in 2009 with
50,000 attendees.
The committee invites wellknown and up-and-coming authors,
so its never the same event twice,
says Marcy Euler, TFOB executive
director. This committee creates the
author panels and puts interesting
combinations of writers or topics or
ideas in a way that is unique to this
event.
During the week of the festival,
nearly 2,000 volunteers help set
up tents and venues, drive authors
around town, answer questions and
herd large groups of attendees.
This year, the festival has added a
second food court just east of Cherry
Avenue near Science City, and the
public for the first time can prereserve complimentary tickets to

selected venues. Details are at
tucsonfestivalofbooks.org the
events website.
The reward is watching Tucsonans spend their weekend at the book
festival and the thousands of families
who bring children to a college campus to learn, Brenda Viner says. It
was important to all of us to keep the
event free to the public.Our sponsors
also share our mission to do whatever
we can to spread the love of reading
and learning.Plain and simple.
Now, if only Viner can coax King
and Groening into playing in the
band again the festival needs more
cowbell.
Possibly local book lovers have
been writing to Stephen and Matt (to
come to UA), Viner says. I hope so.

began to change. American women of

What is Life?
Guy J. Consolmagno, SJ,Planetary Scientist, Vatican Observatory Research Group
Throughout history, our definition of
life reflects our assumptions about how
the Universe worksand why we ask
the question. The ways different human
cultures, ancient and current, have talked
about life provide some sense of how
we have defined life, and illustrate the
aspects of life that fascinate us. Ulti-
mately, we may not really know what life

is until we have discovered more than
one independent example of it on places
other than Earthwe need many diverse
examples before we can generalize. But
without a definition of what were looking for, and why were looking, we may
have a hard time recognizing life when
we find it.

LECTURE SERIES
It is generally accepted that planets or
their satellites are required for life to
originate and evolve. Thus, in order to understand the possible distribution of life
in the Universe it is important to study
planet formation and evolution. These
processes are recorded in the chemistry
and mineralogy of asteroids and comets,
and the geology of ancient planetary
surfaces in our Solar System. Evidence
can also be seen in the many examples of
ongoing planet formation in nearby regions of our galaxy. Finally, the variety of
observable extra-solar planetary systems
also provides insight into their origins
and potential for life.

Life on EarthBy Chance or By Law?
Brian J. Enquist,Professor, Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology
Life on Earth is amazing and multifaceted. Ultimately all of life has descended
from one common ancestor and has been
guided by evolution by natural selection. On the one hand, the evolution of
modern-day diversity and ecosystems
may have been contingent on the initial
chemical building blocks of life and the
historical events that have characterized
our planet over geologic time. On the
other hand, there are numerous aspects

of life pointing to regular and deterministic processes that shape the complexity
and diversity of life. This talk will touch
on those examples where the laws of
chemistry and physics, in addition to
evolutionary rules, have resulted in general properties of life.
Monday, February 16
Complexity and EvolvabilityWhat
Makes Life So Interesting?
Anna R. Dornhaus, Associate Professor,
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Life is particularly fascinating in its ability to create complex and ever-changing
forms out of simple building blocks. How
does such complexity arise, and what are
the conditions that allow never-ending
evolution of new and more intricate
forms of life? We now know that one of
the main processes that allows this is
that life consists of modules that interact
with and feed back on one another. In
the history of life on Earth, new levels of
complexity have often arisen out of new
types of such interactions, and continued
evolution has been driven by life interacting with other life. We even find that
man-made systems can develop a life of
their own when such feedback interac-
tions among many modules occur. Life,

it seems, is more about rules of interaction than special materials. We have only
begun to understand the power of this
algorithmic nature of life.

Searching for Life in the Solar System
Timothy D. Swindle, Professor and Head,
Planetary Sciences/Lunar and Planetary
Laboratory
When Renaissance scholars figured out
that the planets are, like Earth, orbiting
the Sun, an immediate assumption was
that they are inhabited worlds. In the last
50 years, spacecraft have determined that
life on the surfaces of planets and moons
in the Solar System is rare if it exists
at all. However, there are places where
a search for life in the Solar System may
still be fruitful. Although the current
surface of Mars is a hostile environment,
early Mars may have been much more
clement to life. Jupiters moon Europa is
almost certainly barren on the surface,
but has an ocean of liquid water underneath a crust of ice, where some terrestrial organisms might be able to thrive.
Finally, Saturns moon Titan would not be
suitable for life from Earth, but has rain

Amazing Discoveries: A Billion Earthlike Worlds
Laird M. Close, Professor, Astronomy/
Steward Observatory
One of the most fascinating developments in the last two decades is humankinds discovery of alien worlds orbiting
stars near our Sun. Since the first such
discovery in 1995 there has been a truly
exponential growth in the detection of
these new planets. Scientists have been
puzzled and surprised by the diversity
and extravagance of these new extra-solar
systems. Recently, the space-based
NASA Kepler Mission has discovered
thousands of new worlds and suggests
that one in five Sun-like stars may harbor
an Earth-like planet. We will take a grand
tour of some of these amazing new
worlds, specifically noting where life
might already exist, beyond our
Solar System.

example of life on Earth gives no clear

indication of whether intelligence is an
inevitable or an extremely rare consequence of biological evolution. So far,
the search for intelligent aliens by their
electromagnetic communication has met
with silence. Its challenging to define
life, and difficult to make general definitions of intelligence and technology. Well
look at the premises and assumptions
in the search, the strategies used and the
consequences of making contact.

Intelligent Life Beyond Earth

One question rises above all others when
it comes to our place in a vast and ancient
Universe, Are we alone? With a billion
habitable locations in the Milky Way
galaxy, and more than ten billion years
for biological experiments to play out, a
search for intelligent life beyond Earth is
well-motivated. Unfortunately, the single

Raul CabraLecture: Oax-i-fornia: The
Craft of Design and the Design of Craft
Cabra will examine Oax-i-fornia as a model for visual production in cross-cultural
contexts, showing how the confluence
of craft, art, and designwhen engaged
through a collaborative process of making between culturally diverse individualscannot only serve as a powerful
generative force for innovation, but more
importantly, can also create deep and
meaningful connections not commonly
associated with brief encounters where
verbal communication is not easy or even
possible. In fact, in Oax-i-fornia, cultural
and language differences between collaborators are not obstacles to be overcome, they are catalyzers for the creative
process. They push participants to forge
common ground through the act and
language of making together, a complex
physical and emotional process that not
only bridges difference but awakens a kindred spirit shared by makers everywhere.

policy on the U.S.-Mexico border are as
complex as they are compelling. Artists
have been drawn to the physical site of
the frontera, the human rights concerns
it presents, and the overarching question
of the ethics of globalization. Beginning
in 1986, performance artists used the border region to interrogate well-established
ideas of site-specificity and, in conjunction with the developments of the early
1990s, altered the definition of site to
parallel the fluidity of international borders. This talk will discuss the shifts from
site-specificity to what I term portabil-

Dinh Q. LeObdurate History
Dinh Q. L was born in Ha-Tien, Vietnam. He received his BA in Art studio at
UC Santa Barbara and his MFA in Photography and Related Media at The School
of Visual Arts in New York City. In 1997
L settled down in Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam. Ls artistic practice consistently challenges how our memories are
recalled with context in contemporary
life. Whether he provokes the dominance of film and media in the creation
of historical legacy; the confluence of
cultural tradition and contemporary
tragedy in his woven photographs; the
re-placement of everyday urban objects
into artistic wonders; or by documenting
the un-chronicled stories of those who
endured the first helicopter warthese
investigations show a commitment to
the artistic process as a means of excavating history, in the uncovering and
revealing of alternate ideas of loss and
redemption.
