<description><![CDATA[The University of Arizona women’s basketball team fell 60-57 in their first exhibition matchup of the season against West Texas A&M University on Thursday, Oct. 23, in McKale.
]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona women’s basketball team lost 60-57 against West Texas A&M University on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. in McKale Center. This was the Wildcats’ first exhibition game of the season, as well as their first game under the new head coach, Becky Burke.
Junior Sumayah Sugapong was player of the night for the Wildcats, as she ended the night with 12 points on 4-for-9 shooting from the floor. She also went 4 for 4 from the line, adding four rebounds and a block. Sugapong allowed just one turnover in almost 32 minutes of play.
Fellow guard and graduate student Lani Cornfield was the other Wildcat in double figures. She ended the night with a team-high of 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting. She also went 4-for-4 from the line. Cornfield added 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals for Arizona. 
For the Buffaloes, senior Randi Harding led the way offensively. She went 3-of-4 from the free-throw line for a game high 15 points to go along with one assist and a block. Kyla Kane had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Karley Motschenbacher and Taylor Haggan with nine points each.
The Wildcats trailed by nine after the first quarter, while shooting just 25% from the field. They
began to cut into the lead with improvements on the defensive side of the ball, dropping the Buffaloes’ shooting percentage from 44.4 in the first quarter to 35.3 in the second quarter.
However, this didn’t stop the Buffaloes from extending their lead to 12, including shooting
30% from the arc in the quarter. The Buffs won the quarter 13-10, and even though Arizona improved its shooting to 41.7%, they were still down 33-21 at halftime.
The second half went the same as the first. Arizona struggled coming out,
starting with just 28.6 % of their shots made. 
In the third quarter of the game, the Wildcats were down 18 points while allowing over a 40%
shooting from the field from West Texas. Add on the foul trouble with Sugapong and
Achol Magot fouled out, and freshman Daniah Tramell picked up four fouls throughout the game, and it looked like the Wildcats were out of this game. 
Texas went 6-14 in the quarter, taking an 18-point lead with 4:59 left in the third quarter.
Although the Wildcats managed to narrow the gap to just three points in the fourth quarter,
they ultimately fell short of tying the game as the final buzzer sounded. Despite the loss, the Wildcats showed impressive resilience and determination, setting a promising tone for the season under Coach Becky Burke’s leadership.
<h4>Looking ahead</h4>
The Wildcats will play their second and last exhibition game next Thursday, Oct. 30, as they remain in McKale to take on California State, Los Angeles at 6 p.m.

<description><![CDATA[The University of Arizona soccer team marks a 1-0 loss to No. 3 TCU on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. at Mulcahy Stadium. Arizona has yet to break their losing streak of what now stands at six back-to-back games. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona soccer team fell 1-0 against No. 3 TCU on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. at Mulcahy Stadium. This is the Wildcats’ sixth consecutive loss of the season. 
<h4>First half</h4>
Narissa Fultz tried to get an early offensive look as the first half started rolling. She crossed it across the middle but there were no Wildcats on the receiving end. 
TCU maintained possession well and worked through the midfield and into their outside players. However, Arizona’s defense was impressive, keeping the Horned Frogs outside of the box and not allowing early minute looks at goal. 
Arizona kept a high press against TCU’s backline, trying to cause turnovers in their offensive half. The Wildcats knew they needed to get into the lead early against this No. 9 ranked team. 
Seven Castain, goal leader for the Horned Frogs, was trying to break away up top in a foot race to utilize her speed against Wildcat defense. Arizona kept her isolated for a majority of the early minutes, allowing just one cross from her in the first eight minutes. 
In transition, Maia Brown swung the ball around to Fultz who found a cross-splitting TCU’s defense where Ella Hatteberg was on the receiving end but ultimately launched the ball over the goal. This was a huge look for Arizona this early into the match. 
In response, TCU found Cameron Patton down the right end of the field. Patton crossed the ball across the box where Emma Yolinsky made contact with her head and into the back of the net. In the thirteenth minute, TCU led 1-0. 
Fultz continued to respond, hitting two cut back moves to get a shot off and making TCU’s goalie hit a diving save. This ended in a corner for the Wildcats which turned into Horned Frog possession. Arizona has struggled off of set pieces this season when they could be utilized for valuable offensive opportunities in tough games like these. 
Patton continued to find drives down the right side for TCU, securing another dangerous cross in Arizona’s defensive box. 
Physicality was high in the first half, Arizona earning eight fouls and TCU with just four. 
The remaining minutes of the half saw possession traded between programs, battling for a goal. As the half closed, the Horned Frogs remained in the lead, 1-0. 
<h4>Second half</h4>
Arizona came out hot in the second half, finding Jessica Bedolla up top for a turn and shot that got deflected off of TCU defense. The Wildcats needed to continue to hold their unit across the field, finding success in the first half and passing lanes through the middle. 
Following this Wildcat attempt, the ball stayed in TCU’s final third and heightened the pressure against Arizona’s back line. The Wildcats struggled to regain possession after their clearances, often launching it back into the feet of the Horned Frogs. 
Arizona eventually found their way back into their offensive third as substitutions made their way onto the field. The shift in the lineup let fresh legs create new looks on the field, Ella Weathersby finding two back-to-back crosses on the left flank. In her third attempt, she secured a corner kick for the team which again was unsuccessful. 
The Wildcats ping-ponged the ball in the midfield, trying to make something work offensively. 
Defensively, Arana Urge and Brown held steady in the backline and kept tight against the Horned Frogs’ forwards. 
As the game progressed, TCU earned more and more possessions, limiting Arizona to few chances with the ball. When the Wildcats had it at their feet, it was often in a clearance or trying to rebuild. However, the Horned Frogs were tight on the Wildcats in transition, often causing turnovers. 
Arizona needed to utilize these chances on the ball to move forward and get a look at the goal but weren’t finding success. 
In the final two minutes of the match, Arizona tried to put as much offensive pressure as possible, but TCU was able to turn it into their own feet and head the other way. The Horned Frogs held the ball in the corner flag, killing the clock. 
At the end of the match, Arizona was held at 1-0 against TCU. 
<h4>Looking ahead</h4>
Arizona will face the No. 11 University of Colorado, Boulder on Sunday, Oct. 26, at 11 a.m. in Boulder. Colorado is currently sitting at second in the Big 12 conference, tied with Texas Tech University.

<description><![CDATA[The University of Arizona volleyball team (11-7, 5-3 in Big 12) fell in a 3-0 clean sweet against Iowa State University on Thursday, Oct. 23 at 4:30 p.m. in Iowa. This was the Wildcats first loss in the past four games. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona volleyball team (11-7, 5-3 in Big 12) lost 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-23) against Iowa State University on Thursday, Oct. 23 at 4:30 p.m. in the James H. Hilton Coliseum. This was Arizona’s first loss in the last three conference games. 
<h4>Standout players </h4>
The Wildcats fought hard in this match with the leaders being senior Jordan Wilson, sophomore Carlie Cisneros and sophomore Brenna Ginder. Wilson collected 14 kills during this match followed by Cisneros who tallied 12 kills. Ginder was essential for defense with 14 digs.
<h4>Set 1 </h4>
Right off the bat, the Wildcats built a 4-point lead over the Cyclones. Though Iowa caught up quickly, tying it up 6-6 after a kill from freshman Alea Goolsby. After going point for point throughout the beginning of the set, the Cyclones had a three point scoring run getting a 19-16 lead. An attack error from Iowa gave the Wildcats possession that was short lived after a kill from Iowa’s Regan Hanfelt. A kill from Arizona’s Cisneros ended Iowa’s scoring run and shortened the gap 23-18.
The Wildcats lost their footing and were not able to recover quick enough. Iowa State took the first set 25-19. 
<h4>Set 2 </h4>
The second set began with a kill from Cisneros for the Wildcats. Iowa gained early momentum and gained a 5-point lead on Arizona which led to their first timeout of the set. A service ace from fifth year Haven Wray got the Wildcats back on track after the timeout. Journey Tucker’s strong spike tied the Wildcats 9-9 with the Cyclones. Arizona remained close to Iowa throughout the set, but a kill from Iowa’s Hanfelt brought them ahead 18-15. A three point scoring run for the Wildcats tied up the set 19-19 after a kill from Cisneros. After an attack error from Arizona, an ace from Hanfelt and a kill from Maya Duckworth, Iowa was ahead of the Wildcats 21-19.
Iowa was on fire in this set and while Arizona fought hard, unfortunately it was not enough. Iowa State won the second set 25-19. 
<h4>Set 3 </h4>
Starting like the second set, Arizona got the first kill on the board from Cisneros. The Cyclones developed a three point lead after a kill from middle blocker Pan McCune. She ended up being put out for the rest of the game due to an ankle injury. Wilson had a successful attack on Iowa’s block for an Arizona kill. An intense rally ended with an Arizona kill following another kill from Cisneros assisted by Scoggins. The Wildcats caught up to the Cyclones 10-8 with a three point scoring run that ended with a service error from Arizona. As the Wildcats tied up the set 15-15, the Cyclones pulled away again after back to back blocks. Tucker’s kill closed Arizona’s gap 22-20 in the final stages of the set.
Iowa took the set 25-23 and the match in a clean sweep. 
<h4>Looking ahead </h4>
After the past three games on the road, the Wildcats will return home to take on their rivals No. 6 ASU on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. in McKale.

<description><![CDATA[The University of Arizona held a Safety and Wellness forum on Oct. 9, sharing their safety updates promoting transparency and community. Protestors outside the event argued the new updates threaten privacy and trust.
]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona held a Campus Wellness and Safety Forum on Oct. 9 at the Grand Challenges Research Building aimed at updating the community about campus wellbeing and safety initiatives. 
Provost Patricia Prelock opened the panel by stating the administration’s goal is to make the university a place for everyone to feel safe. She highlighted that safety and wellness are not separate, and she shared that President Suresh Garimella has made wellness and safety a priority for his vision of “supportive, inclusive and resilient environment where everyone can thrive.”
Prelock confirmed the UA is still reviewing the Trump administration’s compact letter, a decision that will involve the Arizona Board of Regents, Associated Students of the University of Arizona leadership and UA faculty. “We are listening to every voice, we have not decided yet,” Prelock said. 
Chief Safety Officer Steve Patterson shared safety updates, including new classroom locks and automated license plate readers. According to Patterson, these new updates reflect his department’s goal of making communication the backbone of safety. 
“Safety is about communication with community,” Patterson said. “We meet with student leaders like Adriana every three weeks. Sometimes these conversations are difficult, but they are necessary.”

(<a href="https://wildcat.arizona.edu/staff_profile/regina-portugal/">Regina Portugal</a>)</figcaption></figure>
According to Patterson, the APLRs have helped recover stolen vehicles. “The personal data recorded is not shared with any outside agency, unless ordered by a court,” Patterson said. Patterson assured license plate data would not be used for personal investigations or immigration enforcement unless ordered by a judge. 
“If students are not fully safe, mentally safe, we are failing,” ASUA President Adriana Grijalva said.
Outside the panel, protesters from UA Resist, along with other activists and students, gathered to share their disapproval of the new policies. For many students, the surveillance presence on campus caused concern.
 “Just having those ALPRs does not equal safety, it equals that if the government wants that information, they can have it,” UA student Kristen Guptill-Godfrey said. “They say this is about wellness, but signing that compact would destroy any sense of safety for trans, immigrant and international students.” 
While administration spoke of communication and community, students feel as though their actions show otherwise. Students in attendance protesting outside described being asked to close the doors and being threatened with police removal. Bryan Gramajo, a student demonstrator, said, “they keep saying they’re listening, but every time we speak up, they shut the door. It doesn’t feel safe, it feels silenced.”
Guptill-Godfrey, among other UA students, clarified that their opposition is not towards stronger safety measures. Instead, they argue UA’s use of surveillance along with their poor communication is the issue.
“If people think they are safe because it is not affecting them yet, they need to understand they will be next,” Guptill-Godfrey said.

<description><![CDATA[ASUA speaks alongside students rejecting the federal government’s compact and urges the university administration to reject signing it. Specific students look in-depth on what the university has provided students with and how the compact would reverse these decisions. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ahead of <a href="https://wildcat.arizona.edu/162096/news/ua-declines-to-sign-federal-higher-education-compact/">President Suresh Garimella’s announcement</a> that the University of Arizona would decline to sign the Trump administration’s Compact for Academic Excellence as it’s currently written, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona held a press conference at Old Main to share final thoughts from students.
Discussions around the proposed compact sparked widespread controversy <a href="https://wildcat.arizona.edu/162058/news/ua-community-protests-trumps-compact-for-academic-excellence/">amongst students</a> and <a href="https://wildcat.arizona.edu/162010/news/ua-faculty-senate-opposes-white-house-funding-proposal-amid-academic-freedom-concerns/">faculty</a>, who argued it would put academic freedom at risk. Although Garimella declined to sign the compact on Oct. 20, it’s unclear if the UA administration is opposed to signing a reworked version of the Compact.
On Oct. 14, multiple speakers stood in front of Old Main and addressed their issues with the compact on a variety of viewpoints.
Some of the groups that attended included: UArizona Feminist Organized to Resist, Create & Empower, Pride Alliance, Students for Socialism and UA College Democrats.
Speaker Alyssa Norris, the president of the Planned Parenthood: Generation Action club on campus, spoke on behalf of the club’s advocacy. “Our compliance now will open up to the same in the future,” Norris said. 
Norris discussed her beliefs on how the compact could impact Planned Parenthood. 
“In order for us to recognize the people who need reproductive health services, the people who can’t access abortion, sex education, breast cancer screenings, STI testing and pregnancy testing,” Norris said. “We have to think about equity.”
One of the components in the compact outlines equality in both admissions and facilities on campus. Appealing to this would continue to cut back on the University’s policies regarding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
According to speaker Eddie Barrón, an at-large student body senator of ASUA, they needed to soundly reject the compact. “Right now it is international students and specific language for gender, but what will it be next if we comply?” Barrón said. 
The compact specifically mentions that it would cap the total of international students at 15%. “International students make up more than 15% of our student body right now […] this compact letter directly puts that at stake,” Barrón said. 
A <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=report+from+Arizona+International+from+September+2024+reported+that+the+University+had+reached+7%2C247+international+students+during+the+2023-2024+school+year.&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8">report from Arizona International</a> from September 2024 reported that the University had reached 7,247 international students during the 2023–2024 academic year.
Although the compact was not signed, Garimella did not seem to answer lingering questions. In the past, many students felt Garimella remained silent with regards to major decisions such as the <a href="https://wildcat.arizona.edu/160996/news/the-university-of-arizona-announces-plan-to-consolidate-cultural-centers-into-a-multicultural-hub/">consolidation of cultural centers</a> this past spring.
“We’re really hoping that gives him enough pressure, but at the same time, his administration has not listened to us in the past,” Norris said. 
“We did not get any notice from the University […] not one person in the undergraduate student government would have been able to give them an answer because we weren’t communicated with by University Administration,” Barrón said.

<description><![CDATA[ASUA Senate discussed the public release of a resolution opposing the Trump administration compact in its entirety. Senators made suggestions to amend the compact to better reflect the views of all students on campus, and reaffirmed their commitment to advocate for all students on campus.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate discussed and approved a resolution on Oct. 15, opposing the <a href="https://wildcat.arizona.edu/161761/news/trump-administration-requests-political-pledge-from-ua/">Trump administration’s Compact for Academic Excellence</a> that was sent to nine universities, including the University of Arizona.
Following the meeting on Oct. 20, UA President Suresh Garimella sent a <a href="https://president.arizona.edu/news/update-compact-academic-excellence-higher-education?utm_source=trellis&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The%20University%20of%20Arizona%20was%20one%20of%20nine%20universities%20invited%20on%20October%201%20by%20the%20U.S.%20Department%20of%20Education%20to%20provide%20feedback%20on%20their%20proposal%20to%20advance%20excellence%20in%20higher%20education.">campus-wide email</a> in reference to the proposed compact. Garimella announced that the UA would not sign the compact as currently written, although they will send a <a href="https://president.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/2025-10/Suresh-Garimella-to-Sec-Linda-McMahon.pdf?utm_source=trellis&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The%20University%20of%20Arizona%20was%20one%20of%20nine%20universities%20invited%20on%20October%201%20by%20the%20U.S.%20Department%20of%20Education%20to%20provide%20feedback%20on%20their%20proposal%20to%20advance%20excellence%20in%20higher%20education.">statement</a> to the Department of Education, which is a “contribution toward a national conversation about the future relationship between universities and the federal government,” Garimella said in his email.
Call to audience
Two students from UA Students for Socialism spoke to the ASUA Senate during a call to the audience on their Oct. 15 meeting. Desiree Nguyen and Arian Chavez argued that the senate should announce a public opposition to the compact and help build the gap between elected student representatives and student activists. 
“I want to ask the members of ASUA, what comes next?” Chavez said. “What happens after this resolution is passed or not? Because, unfortunately, regardless of the mass popular support for the rejection of this compact, Garimella can still decide to not listen to the voices of faculty and students.”
Chavez continued to emphasize the importance of advocating for students’ voices in matters concerning the UA. He urged the senate members to reject the compact, as their voice is critical to bringing attention to students’ opinions on the compact. 
Nguyen also urged ASUA to reject this compact and spoke on behalf of student organizers and activists on campus. 
“There are hundreds of student organizers and activists that have been silenced and targeted by the same administration that claims to support us,” Nguyen said. “We’re now left to navigate these life-changing occurrences that can affect both their career and life beyond college.”
Nguyen proposed that activists and ASUA can present a united front to better represent and advocate for students and make their voices heard. 
“Not only must change be enacted by the very senators in this hall, but we must recognize that change must also be enacted every day in the streets, in the classrooms, in the workplace by everyday people who care and unite together,” Nguyen said. 
ASUA Discussion on Rejection Statement
The senate then began their presentation and discussion on at-large Senator Eddie Barrón’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPrw3LDEjf5/?hl=en&img_index=1">proposed resolution</a> to oppose the Trump administration compact.
Barrón presented a rough draft of the resolution, with College of Nursing Senator Emma Stanek and College of Pharmacy Senator Riley Haveman as co-sponsors.
The statement formally rejected the compact and also reaffirmed ASUA Senate’s commitment to stand in solidarity with UA students, protect academic independence and freedom of thought and advocate for the student groups that are targeted by this compact. 
“I think it’s really important that now more than ever, we really highlight the fact that college campuses and universities across the nation really have been a space where all discourse, regardless of the party, or ideology has been welcomed, and I think that it’s up to us,” Barrón said.
The senate agreed that this statement must be written in a way that expresses all viewpoints and concerns of students across the university, and that the senate must remain nonpartisan. 
“This is a large campus representing a variety of differing viewpoints,” Executive Vice President Benjamin Huffman said. “An affront to one student on this campus is an affront to every student, and what this compact is doing is allowing a separate entity detached from the university to establish what our principles are and who we stand up for.”
College of Information Science Senator Humza Sheikh proposed amending the statement in order to include more details about the minority groups the UA serves.
The senate decided to amend the statement to include the fact that the UA is a land-grant institution as well as a Hispanic Serving Institution. The amendment clarifies that both of these minority groups on campus would be directly impacted by the passing of this compact, with changes to DEI policies that would be enacted. 
College of Science Senator Elizabeth Ghartey proposed amendments to verbiage used in the statement and a clause warning about future implications and misuse of this compact by the federal government, which were both passed. 
“I think if we could communicate with students across the board from a nonpartisan perspective, that intimidating behavior seen in the compact could be used against them by future federal administration, would help to justify our stance,” Ghartey said. 
After more discussion and clarification on the resolution, the senate voted on the statement to reject the Trump administration compact. The resolution was<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DP4wl8lDqA0/?hl=en&img_index=1"> passed with a 17-1 vote</a> with 1 abstained vote. The resolution will now be sent to Garimella for review before being released to the public.
Appropriations and Committee Reports
The Appropriations committee shared progress on approving budgets for the on campus clubs. The committee received a total request of $46,924 from ASUA and the amount approved was $26,498. 
The Internal Affairs committee and Senate amended the ASUA constitution to change the threshold and votes needed in order to approve anything concerning ASUA’s budget. This would raise the number of votes needed from a previous simple majority.
Projects and Outreach committee also reminded the senate that events for UA Alcohol Awareness week begin Oct. 20.

<description><![CDATA[For the next few weeks, people in Tucson can experience Mathias Svalina hand-delivering dreams by bike and leading tours that combine facts, poetry and whimsy. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hand-delivered by bike, Mathias Svalina is writing and sending dreams to the people of Tucson for the next few weeks. 
Mathias Svalina is a poet and has been running his dream delivery service since 2014. Originally starting in Denver, Colorado, he has been nomadic since 2016. Traveling to different cities, focusing mainly on the west, Svalina is staying in Tucson for the month of October.
When in Tucson, Svalina, every day for the next few weeks, writes dreams to the subscribers of his service. In the morning, he will bike within a four-mile radius of where he is staying and deliver the dreams to people’s doors. 
Gathering inspiration from biking through the city, books and observing things that might go unnoticed to most people, Svalina stated that these are the things he writes about: these surrealist narratives built from the things our subconscious unburies while we are asleep. 
“And they’re written with a general kind of form of how we tell each other our dreams. So we can have this kind of crazy chaos that’s happening in a dream, but typically when we start to tell it to each other, we tell it very simply,” Svalina explained. “In a way that is sort of in contrast to how immersive and complex an actual dream may be.”
Svalina has been continuing this project for 11 years, yet he cannot imagine himself in a different situation. It started as a way to get by and has evolved into so much more. 
“I was broke. I was teaching at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and due to a clerical error, the classes that I was supposed to teach for the summer disappeared,” Svalina said. “And that was how I was going to pay my rent for the summer. And being a poet, I don’t really have […] other skills that people want.”
He turned to the thing he loved, and over time, his dream delivery service gained more attention, eventually allowing him to bring it to other cities. 
“It sort of started as a joke, and on the other hand, I was writing these books of poetry that kind of worked in a similar mode with repetitive surrealist modes,” Svalina said. “So, in one sense, it was just a joke, in another sense, it is sort of an extension of what I was doing as a poet. And then instead of having an 80 or 100 page book, what would happen if I wrote, you know, 40,000 of them?” 
According to Svalina, even after so long of writing in this way, he doesn’t lose interest in it, “it fits my inclination to write all day, which is what makes me happy,” Svalina said. This passion for writing and poetry has led him to publish eight books, with the most recent one being “Thank You Terror,” published by Big Lucks Books. 
Along with his dream delivery service, Svalina does guided tours of the cities he is in, covering real history and his own surrealist interpretations and ideas of each place. Asking the question, “What happens if we apply the laws of dreams to thinking about history?” 
Similarly to how he collects inspiration for his dreams, he will learn about the history of the city. 
“I was going through the newspaper archives of old Tucson newspapers and sort of reading stuff that’s outside the headlines,” Svalina said. “I’m trying to find little stories of Tucson and people and then sort of trying to translate it into thinking about history, the way poetry works, so the way dreams work, rather than the way the history is told to us.” 
These anecdotes and creative interpretations allow Svalina to get people to think about the place they experience every day a little differently. Stories that people aren’t around to tell anymore or get excluded from major history retellings. 
“And it’s an excuse to just walk around with the bullhorn, which is surprisingly fun, as somebody who’s not very theatrical, typically,” Svalina joked.
His first dream history tour in Tucson will be Saturday, Oct. 25, starting at the Poetry Center at 11 a.m. and is free to attend, with about two miles of walking. The second one will be Saturday, Nov. 1, starting at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson at 11 a.m., also free to attend. 
Svalina stated that he is excited to be staying at the Poetry Center, sharing surrealist dreams with the people of Tucson. Having been into poetry and writing his whole life, turning to it as a way to get by, he shared, “I literally have no other way of envisioning my life. It’s sort of my core identity, pretty much.” Svalina said.

<description><![CDATA[Every 27 seconds, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer or severe blood disorder. Most patients cannot find a matching donor in their family, making unrelated donor registries critical. UA students traveling between Tucson, Phoenix and other cities can now register to become donors in just a few clicks while riding FlixBus. Experts say engaging young adults is key to improving match rates and saving lives.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[University of Arizona students who catch a FlixBus to Phoenix for the weekend now have the chance to do more than reach their destination; they could help save a life.
Through a new partnership with international nonprofit DKMS, Flix — the parent company of FlixBus and Greyhound — launched the campaign <a href="https://www.flixbus.com/flix-and-dkms-join-forces-to-inspire-lifesaving-stem-cell-donor-registrations">Your Journey Could Save a Life.</a> The initiative allows passengers to register as potential stem cell donors directly from their bus seats using onboard Wi-Fi.
“Through this partnership with Flix, we are reaching people in everyday moments and showing them how easy it is to take the first step toward saving a life,” Hannah De Simone, DKMS U.S. country manager, said in a press release.
Every <a href="https://www.dkms.org/learn-more/about-dkms/dkms-global-impact-2023">27 seconds,</a> someone in the world is diagnosed with a blood cancer or severe blood disorder. About 30% of patients find a matching donor within their family, but <a href="https://www.giftoflife.org/patients">the remaining 70% rely on unrelated donors</a>, many of whom never find a match due to underrepresentation in registries.
“Patients are far more likely to find a compatible donor within their own ethnic or ancestral group,” Sharad Khurana, assistant professor of medicine in the Leukemia-BMT Division at the UA, said. 
“Minority populations such as Black, American Indian, Hispanic, Asian and mixed-heritage communities remain severely underrepresented,” Khurana said. “Without greater diversity, many patients may never find a donor. Expanding registries is not just about increasing numbers — it is about ensuring equitable access to life-saving therapy.”
Flix North America, headquartered in Dallas, rolled out the campaign across several countries including the United States, Germany, India, Chile and the United Kingdom. Travelers using FlixBus Wi-Fi are directed to a dedicated landing page where they can begin the donor registration process in just a few clicks.
“Younger donors are associated with better transplant outcomes,” Khurana said. “Research shows that donors aged 18–30 provide stem cells that lead to higher survival rates and lower risk of complications. Their participation is essential. Every young adult who registers improves the chances of transplant success for patients in need.”
According to Khurana, this FlixBus initiative can help average college students learn about a way they can save lives. 
“By embedding donor registration into everyday activities — like logging onto bus Wi-Fi — campaigns like this make joining the registry simple, accessible and global,” Khurana said. “With FlixBus’s international reach, the initiative can engage millions of diverse travelers, expanding the registry in underrepresented populations. Every new registration increases the likelihood that a patient with a rare HLA type will find a match.”
Campaigns like this transform awareness into action and action into a life-saving opportunity, according to Khurana. 
At the UA, many students rely on bus travel to reach nearby cities for school breaks, family visits or weekend getaways. FlixBus, which offers routes between Tucson, Phoenix, Tempe and other destinations, has become a popular low-cost travel option for college students.
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 55 in good health can check their eligibility and <a href="https://www.dkms.org/flixbuspassengers-US">register as a potential donor</a>.

<description><![CDATA[The Shelter offers cheap cocktails and a retro atmosphere to those looking for a new place to explore after dark.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Shelter Cocktail Lounge is Tucson’s all-American bar.
It doesn’t feature country music or a cowboy theme like the Maverick or Whiskey Roads. It doesn’t play loud, modern hip-hop or pop hits like The Hut or Playground. Instead, it offers Cuban-missile crisis era decor, ‘80s classics and John F. Kennedy memorabilia. Everywhere.
The windowless building, patterned wallpaper and red leather bar stools create an atmosphere that might remind a newcomer of their grandparent’s basement. The crowd of drinkers spans generations, ranging from college students to retirees.
“It’s really quite amazing,” Pam Santangelo said, the owner of The Shelter. “I mean, everybody kind of feels at home here.”
Santangelo and her ex-husband and business partner, Kevin Breutzmann, bought the place in the 1990s, making them the bar’s fourth owners. Its origins, however, stretch back further, to an era defined by Cold War anxiety and architectural innovation.
The Shelter was built in 1961 by Anne Rysdale, who was the only registered female architect in Arizona at the time. The rounded roofline and mid-century styling were unique choices for a small cocktail lounge in Tucson but Rysdale’s design gave it a distinct identity.
“I met her years ago,” Santangelo said. “Her daughter brought her by, but she didn’t remember designing it. She was about 91-years-old at the time But, the people we bought the bar from were the people who did all the JFK stuff.”
The JFK stuff became The Shelter’s signature. Regulars begged Santangelo and Breutzmann to keep the Kennedy collection when they took over. Today, the portraits and campaign posters of the former president serve as the lounge’s calling card.
“That John Kennedy is amazing,” bartender Eric Brenner said, pointing at the smiling Kennedy with lightup teeth. 
A regular for about 25 years, Brenner got to know the owners over time and eventually slid behind the bar himself. He expressed that the memorabilia is fun, but it’s The Shelter’s mix of people that makes the place special.
“You can just find so many types of people here,” Brenner said. “So whether you’re a frat boy, a biker, old people or young people, it doesn’t matter. Anyone is welcome here.”
That open atmosphere is what drew Dakota Salyer in. A doctoral student at the University of Arizona, according to Salyer the downtown bar scene felt overwhelming when she first moved to Tucson from Kentucky. It was too crowded, too loud and too hard to socialize.
“It was just exhausting, but when I started coming to The Shelter, Danny’s [and] the Bay Horse, it was so much more relaxed and I formed so many more meaningful relationships,” Salyer said. “There’s a lot of personality here. Pam puts so much of her heart into the place, she comes to every event and decorates to make it perfect. She really cares.”
According to Slayer, she formed relationships with some of the other regulars and bartenders, even staying after hours to play Dungeons & Dragons or shoot pool towards the end of the night.
“Everyone you meet here is very down to earth, very kind and it gives a lot of people moving here from thousands of miles away a place to form a community,” Salyer said.

(Aidan Gravelle)</figcaption></figure>
While The Shelter isn’t the fanciest or most expensive lounge in town — most drinks run from $4 to $10 — it provides a cozy, upscale atmosphere for a date night or a girls’ night out. The bar’s most popular drink, the dirty martini, offers a clean sting from the gin, or vodka, balanced with umami flavors of olive brine to create a savory, sharp cocktail experience for a total of $8.
Some of the other most popular choices include The Shelter Coffee, the bar’s take on an espresso martini and Pam’s Pickle-tini, made with Santangelo’s homemade pickle juice. Both are priced at $9.50.
“We can do the basic stuff and we can also do really, really nice cocktails, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously,” Brenner said. “We can do it all.”
The Shelter Cocktail Lounge, 4155 E. Grant Rd, is open daily from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Grant Road is currently under construction, however, the bar remains open.
