Student Property Boasts a No Party Policy and Lowest Rates

Of all the selling points to publicize, one student property advertises a quiet environment and a No Party Policy.
Sahara Apartments management knew before they opened that if you have a few hundred college students packed into a student housing building, there is bound to be too much noise, too much partying, and not enough studying. That is why they have promoted their No Party Policy since they opened in 2005. Owner and manager, Ted Mehr understands what parents and students are going through when they go to college. The concept of Sahara was born out of my concern for my own daughters safety as she was preparing for college. I wanted her to be safe and comfortable no matter where she lived. I simply asked myself, What kind of place would I want my daughter to live in for the times I could not be there to watch over her? Sahara Apartments was my answer. As a parent, its normal to be concerned about your childs transition from your home to college living. Its also normal to be wary of the many new costs associated with this transition. Yes, price matters but you still want your child to be safe, comfortable, and have the most modern amenities. Sahara Apartments offers this combination to the advantage of both students and parents. The property was designed to serve as a stepping stone to college living for the student and their parents, as well as upper classman and international students who are looking for those same qualities in a building. The No Party Policy is intended to keep the property from becoming the proverbial Animal House as many student housing projects can. As an owner managed property, Sahara Apartments believes college kids should have fun but within the law and without taking away from other students ability to live in a safe, quiet, environment. To that end, Sahara has the distinction of being one of the very few, if not the only student housing property that has never received a Red Tag from the police department. Even the dorms cant make that claim. We find that safety is the number one factor parents are concerned about when their child moves away from home, says Ted Mehr, and the No Party Policy goes a long way to making that happen. Students realize pretty quickly that if they want to go to a party there are plenty to attend at the University, other student properties, the dorms, and friends houses. But no matter when they come home to Sahara, it is quiet, safe, convenient, easy place to study, sleep, and get your homework done. Sahara Apartments raises the bar with state-of-the art fire safety and security measures unmatched by any building in Tucson. The gated property includes an electronic key system with retrievable history of every entry into apartments and through each gate. The property is equipped with 80 security cameras that monitor all public areas on a 24/7 basis and a network of infrared beams over the perimeter walls. If you break the beam an outdoor alarm sounds and the system calls the owner regardless of the time of day or night. Some might consider this overly protective, but I would prefer to know of any breach immediately so we can best protect our residents rather than finding out what happened the next day. explains Ted Mehr. Lastly, Sahara Apartments has a long list of modern amenities that the students want, such as ALL utilities included in the rent, VERY high-speed Internet, kitchens and private bathrooms in each apartment, FREE shuttle service to and from campus, FREE bicycles for use to all residents, pool, spa, game room, workout room, and even a 23-seat mini movie theater. If you agree with Sahara Apartments operating philosophy and are looking for the lowest rental rates without sacrificing quality and service for you student, check out Saharas Website for all the information at www.SaharaApartments.com or stop in and take a tour. The friendly staff at Sahara Apartments would be happy to show you around. Sahara Apartments 919 N. Stone Ave. Tucson, AZ 85701 520-622-4102 Ted Mehr, Owner Ted@saharaapartments.com

Spectacular stargazing at the UA Mount Lemmon SkyCenter
Under the dome
the eye and stimulates the imagination in many ways. Make the most out of your visit by looking up as well as around you. Conditions in Tucson allow for stargazing thats flat-out superior to most other spots in the United States. And theres no better place in these parts for ordinary folks like you and me to see stars than at the UA Science Mount Lemmon SkyCenter. Thats because the SkyCenter, operated by the UAs Steward Observatory, has the largest telescope in the Southwest dedicated fully to public observation. Peering into the eyepiece of the 32-inch Schulman telescope and seeing galaxies far, far away not to mention a few planets in our neck of the universe is truly an out-ofthis-world experience. Make a reservation for one of the Sky Night experiences offered virtually nightly and youll join about 20 other humans for an unparalleled evening of heavenly education. Honestly, I learned more in five hours than I did in untold hours in science classes. Adam Block, the astronomy host who runs the show, has designed a program that moves briskly back-andforth from a classroom-type setting laser pointer and finally observing under the dome. He crams a lot of information into an evening that never feels scripted or overrehearsed.

This is as good as it gets, he tells visitors. When I show you guys a planet, a nebula or another galaxy, most of humanity have never seen things as well as you have the chance to do tonight. Block is particularly adept as conveying mind-blowing facts about the enormity of the universe, its nearly unfathomable vastness. This is a man who knows precisely what he wants to impart and how best to do so. He drives home the scale of the universe, for example, by relating it to objects and distances we already know. Installed in 2010, the Schulman is one of eight research and educational telescopes hosted by the Steward Observatory field station at the Mount Lemmon summit and on nearby Mount Bigelow.
Under the stadium

By M. Scot Skinner SkyCenter will make you ooh and ah, to be sure. But the UAs most exciting and awe-inspiring telescope action is not on top of the mountain. Its happening under the stadium, right here on campus. Thats where the worlds best telescope mirrors are being made, mirrors that will soon revolutionize exploration of the cosmos. The UAs excellence in optical science and engineering is showcased at the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab. Touring the facility, which is tucked away underneath the east side of Arizona Stadium, is a peak experience. Seeing the enormity of the mirrors makes your jaw drop, but this is more than a walk and gawk kind of thing. Visitors will emerge from the 90-minute tour with a basic understanding of how

Did you know?

A comet named ISON is coming our way and could make for some exciting nights in your backyard and at the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter. Or it could be a total bust. Predicting the behavior of comets is like predicting the behavior of cats, said Don Yeomans of NASAs Near-Earth Object Program. It cant really be done.
One of the professional telescopes, run by the Catalina Sky Survey astronomers, scans the skies on a constant hunt for asteroids. Another is under the control of astronomers doing their research remotely from South Korea. And while sophisticated software is responsible for many discoveries today, Blocks everexpanding familiarity with the cosmos enables him to make discoveries the old-fashioned way with his eyes. In June 2013, for example, he saw something that caught his eye while he was processing a picture of a galaxy 400 million light years

away. He thought the blip might be a supernova, so he compared his picture with one taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Sure enough, the Hubbles photo of galaxy NGC 6240 was taken before the star exploded. Further observations confirmed the discovery. Pictures are a big part of what Block does under the dome. Hes become an astrophotographer of some renown, using a camera on the Schulman to produce stunning images of globular clusters, planets, spiral galaxies and supernovas. Blocks infectious enthusiasm for astronomy goes back as far as he can remember he shows visitors a snapshot of him as a little boy in Georgia, smiling with a brand-new telescope he received on his seventh birthday. But he likes to say that as a public speaker, he can share his passion only as far as his voice will carry. His photography is another story. The nice thing about the making of these pretty pictures is that they can go much further, says Block, a UA astronomy and physics grad in the 1990s. They are published and seen around the world. More than 60 of his pictures have been featured on NASAs popular Astronomy Picture of the Day website. Alan L. Strauss, director of the SkyCenter, says that astrophotography is a niche that nobody else is filling. He says its also a means to pull people into the wonders of astronomy. Folks can come and look through the same telescope that is being used to generate these world-class images, he says. And yes, SkyCenter sells prints online and on the mountain. Says Block: Ive taken pictures of stars being born and stars dying and galaxies colliding. I hope

weight mirrors. The experts who guide the tours, some of whom are former UA instructors, explain the revolutionary processes, from mold design and construction to spin casting, grinding, polishing and testing. The lab is currently leading the way on two very different telescopes, both of which are destined for a dark mountaintop in Chile that gets almost no rain. The Giant Magellan Telescope, which will feature an array of seven mirrors aimed at the sky, will allow for exploration of the furthest reaches of the universe. It will be bigger than any telescope ever built and likely answer some of the biggest cosmological questions. The GMT, scheduled to begin testing in 2020, will unveil untold wonders from the very edges of the
universe. It may also lead to some answers about dark matter, one of the great remaining mysteries. The other scope is the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, which uses a new, state-of-the-art camera that will produce maps of the night sky more quickly and with greater detail than anything seen before. In the 2020 decade, the LSST will carry out sky surveys that will transform many areas of astronomical research, including the investigation of dark energy. The mirror lab, with its unparalleled optical technology, is doing what no one else in the world has been able to accomplish, says Outreach Manager Cathi Duncan. We will be casting the third mirror of the GMT in August 2013 and visitors will have a unique opportunity to witness this portion of the process, which only occurs every year and half or so.

instant success. Featuring a specially assembled group of veteran Cuban musicians and further propelled by Wim Wenders acclaimed film and later by a series of international tours and albums by many of the featured musicians, Buena Vista Social Club became a phenomenon. Now, the 13-piece Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club, featuring a number of Buena Vista Social Club alumni, makes its return to the worlds stages. At the forefront of the group are three musicians from the Buena Vista Social Club film as well as a younger generation of Cuban musicians. The lineup also includes vocalist Omara Portuondo, a member of the original Buena Vista Social Club, whose 2008 recording Gracias won a Latin Grammy and scored a Grammy nomination. Portuondo has been singing and performing since she was a teenager in Cuba in the 1940s but, as The New York Times review of Gracias noted, the years have done nothing to mitigate her vocal prowess.

The audience uses its imagination to follow the mischievously charming narrator, El Gallo, as he creates a world of moonlight and magic, and then pain and disillusionment, until the boy and girl find their way back to one other. The score, which includes Try to Remember, They Were You, and Soon Its Gonna Rain, is as timeless as the story itself. Nov. 10Dec. 8 The Man Who Came to Dinner by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart Marroney Theatre This American, classical farcetells the uproarious story of Sheridan Whiteside critic, lecturer, radio orator, and friend of the great and near great. Having dined at the home of the prominent Stanley family in a small town in Ohio, Whiteside slips on their doorstep and injures his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of convalescence follows and hilarity ensues. Written by the same talented duo ofYou Cant Take it With YouandOnce in a Lifetime, this Broadway classic is a perfect blend of
high comedy and low farce, populated by an extravagant array of eccentric but lovable characters.

Free tours highlight UA history

Herring Hall, which opened in 1903, is the second-oldest surviving structure on campus

The UAs oldest building was not

called Old Main when it was new, of course. The first major building at the first university in Arizona was called the Main Building when it opened in 1891, which makes sense because the two-level structure was the university. The first group of Territorial students all 32 of them studied, dined, slept and took classes at the Main Building, which became University Hall in 1902 and Old Main in 1927. It was the only classroom facility until Science Hall was built 18 years later. Old Main, closed until sometime next year for a major renovation and restoration project, is a focal point of a fascinating history tour on the second Wednesday of each month. The UA Visitor Center also offers regular walking tours devoted to public art, things to do and other aspects of campus (see schedule). The history tour, which is free like the others, covers a lot of ground in about 90 minutes. Youll learn that a Tucson building inspector condemned Old Main in 1938. With no money to repair the aging structure, the Arizona Daily Star deemed the building too shabbily constructed to endure. The editorial predicted that its end is not far off. Indeed, the now-beloved building escaped demolition only because of World War II. In 1942, the U.S. Navy paid for Old Mains restoration and used it for their Officer Indoctrination Program, explained Wendi Rountree during a recent tour. Trainees were housed in Bear Down Gym. Old Main, which now seems so indispensible, was again threatened with destruction in the 1970s. But the campus and the larger

community rallied to save it. Rountree, senior program coordinator for Presidential Services and Visitor Services, says that with so much history to draw from, each tour is tailored somewhat to the interests of participants. One things for sure: She has a wealth of historical tidbits stored in her head, ready to spill. Ask about most any building in the UAs original 40 acres (bounded by North Park Avenue and North Mountain Avenue, between East Second and East Fourth streets) and shell have dates and details to share.

Take Herring Hall, for example. Shell tell you that this 40 by 80 foot building with its four Doric columns is the UAs second-oldest surviving structure. It opened in 1903 as a gymnasium. This was before basketball was a spectator sport, Rountree explains. When Bear Down gym opened in 1926, Herring Hall became the womens gym. They also built a stage in the back when Herring Hall became the home of the drama department from 1937 to 1956. It also served as the first home for KUAT-TV, which went on the air for the first time in 1959. Now the home base for the Campus Arboretum, Herring Hall is next door to the Forbes building, which opened in 1915 as the Agriculture building. Nearly 100 years later, it remains the home of the universitys first college, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In the early days, campus planners made sure the womens dorms were geographically separated from the mens. Maricopa Hall (for women) and Cochise Hall (for men) were both completed in1921. Today, all but two of the 23 residence halls are co-ed. Maricopa is still for women only, as is Parker Hall.
Who started the red brick motif that dominates campus architecture? Roy Place, a Tucson architect who designed many of the early buildings, including Centennial Hall and the Arizona State Museum buildings (one of them the 1927 main library). His use of red brick set the tone for most of the buildings on campus today. When the Main Library was built in the 1970s without a red brick in sight, the result was a public uproar. Using red brick for the expansive patio became a no brainer. Where did students study astronomy before the opening of Steward Observatory? They gathered on the roof of Science Hall (now the Communication building) and used an 8-inch telescope on loan from Harvard. After the opening of Steward Observatory in 1922, the UA returned the scope and it was sent to the University of Crakow in Poland. Somehow, it survived World War II and was still in use into the 1980s. Wheres the Campus Arboretum? Youre standing in it if you are on the main campus, the entirety of which is a national arboretum.

trees from all over the world, says Rountree. Who does Old Mains Memorial Fountain honor? The fountain commemorates university students who died in the first World War. John J. Pershing, commander of American forces in France, spoke at the dedication ceremony in 1920. Are there any twins on campus? When the Mining and Engineering building opened in 1918, it was dj vu all over again. With its eight terra-cotta columns, its a virtual mirror of the Forbes building completed three years earlier on the other side of Old Main. The Engineering building, as its known today, sits higher on the ground and its Parthenon-inspired portico is largely obscured by mature vegetation. Why not honor the living? The Richard A. Harvill Building, which opened in 1981, was the first building named for a living person. Other UA presidents honored with a building in their name include John P. Schaefer (Center for Creative Photography), Henry Koffler (Chemistry), Manuel Pacheco (Integrated Learning Center) and Peter Likins (a new dorm near the stadium). Whats historic about the current president? Ann Weaver Hart, inaugurated last year as the 21st president of the UA, is the first woman at the helm.

Nov. 8, 2013 Jan. 26, 2014 Charles Harbutt, Departures and Arrivals The Center for Creative Photography is celebrating Charles Harbutts photographic work, and its relationship to the printed page, in this exhibition. The exhibition will feature a complete set of prints from Harbutts newest publication, Departures and Arrivals, sequenced as they appear in the book, along with a short video in which Harbutt and Joan Liftin describe the books creative process. In addition, work prints from Harbutts 1959 trip to Cuba, demonstrating how he chronicled the earliest days of Castros leadership, the romance of revolution and some American responses are paired with working materials for a plannedbut never publishedbook. A third exploration of Harbutts concern for the relationship between the photographic image and the printed page relates to his long career as a photojournalist. A slide show of more than 150 photographs Harbutt made on assignment will be projected in sequence, revealing their drama and power. Related clippings and tear sheets, showing how these commercial works appeared in their original magazine contexts, complement the slide show and demonstrate this photographers ability
to work both sides of the divide between art and commerce to arrive at an original vision.

Old-time cure-alls
History of Pharmacy Museums vast collection includes historic equipment, photos, tonics and chewing gum
By M. Scot Skinner hanks to the movies, which have romanticized the Old West for a hundred years, weve got a picture of what life was like in territorial towns like Tucson and Tombstone. But have you pictured getting sick, circa 1880? You likely will if you spend some time at the UAs History of Pharmacy Museum. Its eye-opening displays will make you feel empathy for those poor souls seeking relief at Old West pharmacies. The packaging of various overthe-counter remedies promised to cure every chronic condition under the sun and featured testimonials from Grandmas and Mammies and even a few Doctors. Visitors will notice that early drug stores sold snake oil hand over fist. But pharmacists in the late 19th century and early 20th century relied on one ingredient more than any other. In fact, it appears that pharmacists sold almost as much booze as the saloonkeeper. Alcohol is a great solvent, so it was useful in all sorts of pharmaceutical products, and most of the medicines contained large amounts of alcohol, said Richard Wiedhopf, the museums longtime curator. It didnt necessarily cure you, but you felt better at least for a
while, said Wiedhopf, a 1965 graduate of the College of Pharmacy and now its assistant dean for finance and facilities. The alcohol content came in handy during Prohibition, and some doctors wrote prescriptions for whiskey and beer. The museum displays a few such scripts, including one that reads, The bearer has diabetes, and I believe that beer in moderation would be of benefit to her. The History of Pharmacy Museum owes its start to Jesse Hurlbut, proprietor of the old Owl Drug Store in downtown Tucson. He was an obsessive collector of pharmaceutical items. When he donated about 30,000 to the College of Pharmacy in 1966, the museum was born. The most significant acquisition in recent years is Disneylands former Upjohn Pharmacy Main Street USA display. It arrived about four years ago and contains nearly 700 items, most of which are still in storage. Like most museums, we can only display a fraction of our collection, which has grown to more than 100,000 items, says Wiedhopf. But recently we were able to find room in nearby Drachman Hall to display some beautiful artifacts from the Disneyland acquisition. The best place to begin your self-guided tour is the administrative offices on the main floor, where you can pick up a brochure. From there, youll want to just wander through the lobby areas and hallways of the buildings four floors. 36

Along the way, youll see a poster for Syrup of Figs ($1 a bottle) that promises A baby in every bottle! and claims to improve child-bearing capabilities ten-fold. It was basically just a laxative, says Wiedhopf. And dont miss Mammys Suce Fat (Here honey, take this for your mammy and stop that cough!). Not sure what this stuff is, but Mammys Remedy Company in El Paso made it in 1922. The first floor includes innumerable mortar and pestles, prescription bottles from pioneer druggists of Tucson and the Southwest, supLike most museums, only a fraction of the collection is on display at any one time.

pository moulds circa 1875, a tincture press and lots more. On the second floor, among many other things, is documentation of the widespread use of sarsaparilla in the late 1880s. It was claimed to be a blood purifier and a cure for nearly every ailment. Step off the third-floor elevator and youll see poison bottles, Chinese remedies, medication for horses, headache wafers, dandruff treatments, hair pomades and pictures of territorial pharmacies. Theres also a 10-gallon ice cream maker from a Winslow pharmacy that served travelers on Route 66 in the 1930s. On the fourth floor is a massive 1950s pharmacy cabinet called a Schwartz case. Seventeen feet long and five feet tall, the cabinet has more than 100 drawers containing natural products from dill to kava kava to witch hazel. Hurlbuts original donation included what has become the museums most famous item. Its a jar of Blackjack gum chewed by John Dillinger, a regular customer at Owls lunch counter in the days before his capture here in 1934. The proprietor had wondered about the Easterner who had an annoying habit of sticking his gum under the counter. After Hurlbut realized his customer had been the infamous bank robber, he decided to save the gum. Nearly 80 years later, it still draws attention at the History of Pharmacy Museum.

Hybrid

Readings by authors working at the boundaries and intersections of genre. A piece with the piercing gaze of a story hides the heart of a poem. Another has the glossy coat of what might seem like an ordinary essay, but hides a theatrical beak. Hybrid writing like this undermines the boundaries of literary genres, which are often arbitrary and artificial, the stuff of marketing and sales, not of art.

This fall, you can help the Poetry Center to celebrate one of our regions most beautiful traditions, Da de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Our Altars and Elegies exhibit begins Sept. 9, with a display of books and broadsides celebrating the elegy, a poetic form that serves as a lament for the dead. In October, local artists will lay the foundation for a community altar in the Jeremy Ingalls Gallery. Throughout October and November, everyone is invited to add your remembrances of departed poets, writers, and loved ones to the altar. Please join us in paying homage to those who have gone before. Thursday, Sept. 12 6 p.m. A Closer Look Book Club: The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka Of The Metamorphosis, Vladimir Nabokov wrote, Beauty plus pitythat is the closest we can get to a definition of art. Where there is beauty there is pity for the simple reason that beauty must die: beauty always dies, the manner dies with the matter, the world dies with the individual. If Kafkas The Metamorphosis strikes anyone as something more than an entomological fantasy, then I congratulate him on having joined the ranks of good and great readers. That recommendation will likely persuade you to read (or re-read) this singular novella with us, but if you need more persuasion, the books first famous first sentence should do the trick: As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous insect.

Thursday, Oct. 17 6 p.m. A Closer Look Book Club: Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf Those who open Orlando expecting another novel in the vein of Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse will discover, to their joy or sorrow, that once more Mrs. Woolf has broken with tradition and convention and has set out to explore still another fourth dimension of writing. Not that she has abandoned the stream of consciousness method which she used with such conspicuous success
in her previous novels, but with it she has combined what, for lack of a better term, we might describe as an application to writing of the Einstein theory of relativity. In this new work she is largely preoccupied with the time element in character and human relationships, and with a statement of the exact complexion of that intangible moment, a combination of past and future, of objective reality and subjective consciousness, which we refer to as the present.

Chase, The New York Times Tuesday, Oct. 22 6 p.m. Shop Talk: The Work of Jenny Boully Writer and longtime Jenny Boully fan Julie Lauterbach-Colby leads a discussion of the work of Jenny Boully, who reads for the Poetry Center as part of the Hybrid Writing Series on Oct. 24.

Thursday, Nov. 21 6 p.m. A Closer Look Book Club: The Collected Works of Billy the Kid by Michael Ondaatje Drawing on contemporary accounts,
period photographs, dime novels, and his own prodigious fund of empathy and imagination, Ondaatjes historical novel (his first, originally published in 1970) traces the legendary outlaws passage across the blasted landscape of 1880 New Mexico and the collective unconscious of his country. [Ondaatje] doesnt so much tell the story as splice it together, weaving together moments and sequences, cutting between emotions, or from image to image, shaking the kaleidoscope for maximum effect. The book doesnt read like a film, but it stays in the imagination like one, dream-like, so that its characters start to haunt us. Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times Dec. 9, 2013 through Jan. 29, 2014 Exhibition: Selections from the Permanent Collection: Small Books Miniature books have an enduring attraction for writers, artists, and publishers, who have often utilized this form to create intricate and beautiful innovations in bookmaking.

Baritone William Parkers call to action in the late 1980s prompted 18 American composers to write songs in memory of the many members of the artistic community who were lost to HIV/ AIDS. Since Parkers 1993 death following the premiere of the Songbook, the face of the disease has changed as well as the prognosis, and more songs have been added to the collection. Like the squares of a quilt, the songs run the gamut of emotions and styles. This performance honors World AIDS Day and the people who are now living as well as dying of the disease.

Stadium expands
Upgraded seating and other fan amenities included in north end zone
By M. Scot Skinner to existing stadium seating and new facilities for the football program (previously housed at McKale Center). Another big change will be felt most by the players. The Wildcats, for the first time at Arizona Stadium, will play on artificial turf. The hybrid Bermuda grass is gone, replaced by FieldTurf Revolution CoolPlay. Athletics director Greg Byrne has described the new surface as another step in the right direction and a great advancement to our stadium. FieldTurf, which seven other Pac-12 programs use for either play or practice, has a cooling system that will benefit coaches and student-athletes, he said. Rich Rodriguez, now in his 2nd season as head football coach, favors a synthetic surface and is familiar with FieldTurf. He had the same company install turf during his time coaching at West Virginia and Michigan. Bear Down, the historic rallying cry for Wildcat athletics, will be spelled out in a lighter shade of green than the rest of the turf. But wait, theres more. Arizona Stadium will have a new eatery called Bear Down Kitchen. It will be open to students and the public

In a YouTube update about the stadium expansion, Byrne said Bear Down Kitchen will be a good opportunity for the 40,000 students on campus to mingle with the 500 student-athletes. It will also bring together football players with student-athletes from other sports. For 2013 football tickets, go to ArizonaWildcats.com, visit the McKale Center Ticket Office or call 520-621-CATS.
