UAs Big A
ANTHROPOLOGY CELEBRATES
Founded by Byron Cummings, the renowned school
and Arizona State Museum host special events
By Mike Chesnick
When Byron Cummings came
to the University of Arizona in 1915
to start what is now the School of
Anthropology, UA President Rufus
B. von KleinSchmid showed him
a storage area and reportedly said,
Heres the museum, go to it.
Cummings not only got to it, but
he made anthropology a focus of the
Arizona State Museum and the university. By 1932, the department at
UA included all four subfields of
anthropology archaeological, sociocultural, linguistic and biological.
This remains a hallmark of UA
Anthropology, says Diane E. Austin,
the schools director, especially
as some (national) programs and
disciplines have become narrower
and narrower in focus.
Austin and more than 100 faculty
members are celebrating the UA

members at the university.
But the Classics professor, who
also taught Latin and Greek, quickly
developed the UA into a leading
archaeological field school with
dedicated camps in Eastern Arizona
that persisted for years, including the
Kinishba Ruins on the Fort Apache
Indian Reservation.
One of his first three archaeology
masters graduates in 1928 was Emil
W. Haury, who excavated the massive waterworks of the Tucson areas
early desert farmers, the Hohokam,
and helped create the new scientific
field of dendrochronology, or treering studies with UA astronomer
A.E. Douglas. Haury became one of
the pre-eminent archaeologists of
the 20th century, said former UA
director Raymond H. Thompson, who
spoke at the Arizona State Museums
120th birthday in 2013.
Clara Lee Fraps (Tanner) and Florence M. Hawley (Ellis) also received
masters degrees in 1928, and both
stayed on at UA as instructors with
Haury for salaries of $1,500 each. All
three helped Cummings improve the
museum, which began in 1893.
In its early years, the museum
moved to different sites on campus,
including what is now the Forbes
Building. It was Haury who helped
put the museum in a new Roy Placedesigned brick building across the
UA Mall from the current Arizona
State Museum. The current facility
just northeast of University and Park,
another Place-designed building,
opened in 1925 and served as the UA
Main Library until 1977.
UA has the oldest and largest

Psycho Beach Party by Charles Busch
Thursday-Saturday 8 p.m.; SaturdaySunday 2 p.m.
Think Gidget, Frankie and Annette beach
party epics, and Hitchcock psychological
suspense thrillers. Think 1962. Chicklet
Forrest, a teenage tomboy, is desperate to
be in with the Malibu surf crowd. Unfortunately, she also has a tendency towards
split personalities.
NOVEmbER 1922
this heart in my mouth is called home
Directed by Melissa Thompson
Thursday-Saturday 8 p.m.; SaturdaySunday 2 p.m.
This devised piece was created specifically
for the UA Studio Series and explores the
search for a sense of belonging and the
ways in which we create for ourselves the
spaces of safety and comfort. What do
we think about when we imagine a soft
place to land? Are our families by blood
or by choice? And above all, what is it that
makes home home?

URBAN FARM FLOURISHES
David Gilmore photo
By Mike Chesnick
Just a short drive north from the
UA campus sits Tucson Village Farm,
where thousands of youths have
helped the University of Arizona and
the Pima County Cooperative Extension turn a barren lot into an urban
garden oasis in the last five years.
One of the farms biggest fans does
not get much bigger: the First Lady.
You guys are leading the way.
You are doing great work! Michelle
Obama said about the Tucson Village
Farm, 4210 N. Campbell Ave., just
south of the Rillito wash.
The First Ladys campaign to fight
childhood obesity with a better diet
and exercise fits in nicely with the

Kids learn how to grow and harvest food at the Tucson Village Farm, near North Campbell
Avenue and East River Road. Norma Jean Gargasz/UANews photo
Go to tucsonvillagefarm.arizona.edu
for sign-up information.
Weve changed a lot of peoples
minds about vegetables, says Sparks,
who oversees operations of the farm.
We see it time and time again, people saying, Oh, my child doesnt like
kale and they turn around and their
child is wolfing down a kale salad.
You dont have to be a kid to enjoy
Tucson Village Farm.
Visitors can pick their own produce at market prices every Tuesday.
The U-Pick runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
in the fall, 3 to 5 in the winter and
5 to 7 in the summer (check the
farms Facebook page for details). Its
best to wear close-toed shoes and
bring a reusable bag if possible.
You also can volunteer on Monday
mornings (8:30 a.m. to noon, earlier
in summer). Email the farm at
volunteertvf@gmail.com for the full
list of opportunities.
Anybody can come out and
volunteer, although its hopeful
to have a heads-up, so there is
meaningful work for people, says
Leza Carter, founder of the farm and
program coordinator.
Carter said the farm sold produce
on some Saturdays in the spring as an

ZONA ZOO LOUDER THAN EVER
Thirteen years after getting
its nickname, UAs rowdy student
section earns national honors
Students make some noise and hold up a big-head photo of Stanley Johnson at McKale Center last season.
By Mike Chesnick
A Team. McKale Maniacs.
Lutatics. Bat Cave?
In November 2002, judges
considered those names and
hundreds of others in a contest to
name UAs student section at McKale
Center on the eve of the No. 1-ranked
Wildcats home basketball opener
against Western Kentucky.
Thankfully, former student
senator Peter Wand says now, the
panel picked a name submitted by
Jennie Won, a junior Marketing
major. She combined Zona, one of
the teams national nicknames during
its 1997 national title run, with Zoo,
inspired by the fans' rowdy nature.
And so Zona Zoo was born.
Wand, with help from then-UA
associate athletic director Scott
MacKenzie and student senator Andy
Hottovy, rushed to design and print
the Zoo logo on about 2,000 T-shirts
and give them out free to students
with season tickets before the opener.
We were leaning toward the
Lutatics, says Wand, referring to
then-coach Lute Olson. While he appreciated the sentiment, Coach Olson

HOW TO BECOME A
ZONA ZOO MEMBER
Go to http://zonazoo.wix.
com/zonazoo and sign up.
Membership for both football and
basketball games is $150. You
can also get information at www.
arizonawildcats.com/zonazoo
So, for football, Zona Zoo members wake up, dress up in their red
Zona Zoo shirt, and head to the mall
with their friends to the Zona Zoo
tailgate. After theyve filled up on free
food and won some free stuff, they go
to Arizona Stadium and wait for kickoff. Youre going to be yelling for a
win. Its an incredible feeling.
The Zona Zoo showed up early at McKale to celebrate ESPNs College GameDay.

Line Loosely based off of the Leutze
painting with George Washington. Leutze
painted to emphasize Washington as a
brave and heroic leader standing in the
hull of a boat that would have been too
small and unstable for such an act. Dacre
creates a 3-dimensional version with
creatures wearing uniforms from soldiers
that served in Iraq and Afghanistan, their
heads sewn from recycled civilian clothing and carrying wooden toy guns; while
one soldier recites the last chapter (After
the War) of Chris Hedges book What

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.
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.
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.

for 270 million years. Classified as
arthropods with a hard shell and
jointed limbs, they ranged in size
from less than an inch to nearly
three feet in length and were ancient
relatives of crabs and lobsters.
