Always on display are the Old Masters from the Kress Collection and 26 panels of the magnificent medieval Altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo, thought to be the finest 15th century Castilian altarpiece outside of Spain. Current Exhibits: Through October 21, 2012 David Headley and Sol LeWitt Days Main & Hanson Galleries UAMA is showcasing abstract art with the presentation of Sol LeWitt Days and The Art of David Headley. LeWitt, who stressed the ideas behind his work over the artistic execution by the artist himself, often invited other artists and students to assist him in making his installations. Extending this tradition to Tucson, LeWitts concepts have been constructed by six teams of Tucson artists.

Marx; book by Jeff Whitty; directed by Rob Gretta Marroney Theatre This madcap, Sesame Street-like satire about young adulthood revolves around a college graduate named Princeton, who moves into his first apartment the only one he can afford on Avenue Q. As they navigate friendship, love and work, Princeton and his motley neighbors try to find their purpose in life. No subject is taboo in this comedy, where jokes range from racism to sexuality, but this Triple Crown Tony Award-winning musical, featuring actors with puppets, isnt just risqu. It also makes us recognize that all is fleeting and we must endure lifes pains and appreciate its joys. (Adult themes and profanity). Nov. 4-Dec. 2 Inspecting Carol by Daniel J. Sullivan, directed by David Morden Tornabene Theatre Almost bankrupt, the little Soapbox Theatre Company struggles to mount its annual cash cow, the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. An inspector from the National Endowment for the Arts is due to show up any second, but when a new actor arrives to audition and is mistaken for the inspector, the acting troupe caters to his every whim
to try to collect desperately needed funding. This play within a play contains gut-busting comedy and you will never be able to look at the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present or Future in the same way again ever.

100 photographs by more than 60 different artists. As expansive as those 90-100 works may seem, the process of culling down to that number was extensive, according to Rebecca Senf, the Norton Family Curator with the CCP, a joint appointment with the Phoenix Art Museum. Senf said the center has about 3,000 photos of Arizona in its collection; of those, she reviewed more than 1,000 to choose the relatively few that would make it into the show.
In terms of photographic archives, our collection is one of the best in the world, Senf said. Its broad and deep. For photography, this is the place. That breadth and depth of the centers permanent collection are what allowed Senf and River Bullock, a former Ansel Adams intern with the CCP, to choose images spanning a wide variety of styles and subjects. The show is meant to be expansive and inclusive, Senf said. She added that it would

www.arizona.edu
include not just the traditional landscapes one might associate with iconic Arizona photography, but also still lives, nudes, portraits and urban views. Its richer and more deep than what automatically comes to mind. Bullock said helping Senf to put together the exhibition taught her a great deal about the history and culture of Arizona. It continued my education about the diversity of the state, both historically and culturally, she said. The show features images of people important to both the institutional history of the CCP and the state as a whole, she added. There are different types of history, both present in the photographic collection. Senf and Bullock agree that the exhibition will give visitors the chance to learn, not just the broad-strokes history and culture of Arizona over the last 100 years, but about smaller stories, as well. It not only talks about some of the iconic markers of what Arizona looks like, but also gives the opportunity to get to know some of the individuals that make up smaller communities within the state, Bullock said. As an example, she cited a photograph in the Made in Arizona exhibit that comes from a larger series of images, created by Dan Budnik in 1981, of people on the Navajo Reservation in Northern Arizona. It includes gorgeous, intimate, small portraits, Bullock said. I fell in love with them about a year ago, and was finally presented with an opportunity where I could share that with the community. Senf hopes the exhibit will help people understand the rich story of the relationship between photography and the state of Arizona. From early 19th century photos taken during the initial exploration and surveying of the state, to the images published in the magazine Arizona Highways, to strong photography programs at Arizonas universities, to the existence of

the Center for Creative Photography will present a selection created in the state during the twentieth century. Encompassing a range of subjects and genres, the exhibition will highlight the diverse photographs produced in Arizona. Some of these artists spent time in the state because of great Arizona photographic institutions, including higher educational programs, Arizona Highwaysmagazine, and the Center for Creative Photography itself. In addition to iconic views of iconic sites by photographic masters, this presentation will embrace the unexpected, and show the rich breadth and scope of the Centers fine print collection.

She added that throughout the states history, there has been an interest in seeing Arizona through the lens of a camera, in the visions of Arizona that photographers could create. More than anything, though, Senf said the show speaks to the kinds of things that draw people to the state that impressive, awesome quality. (The images) appeal to people who are just in love with those great aspects of Arizona.

the iconic experimental rock band Radiohead. The Prides halftime shows feature twirlers, color guard, dancers and the usual ensemble of some of the UAs best musicians all performing cutting-edge drill design. In other words, the formations are really, really cool. The Pride doesnt just perform at football games. Look for the band at Bear Down Fridays held the Friday before every game at Main Gate Square with pep rally performances starting at about 6 p.m.
Rich Rodriguez officially takes the reins this year as the 30th head football coach at the University of Arizona. Rodriguez a former coach at Michigan and West Virginia brings with him a fast-paced, no-huddle offense focused on running the ball. As luck would have it, Rodriguez inherits senior quarterback Matt Scott, an excellent running quarterback who is seemingly a perfect fit for the new coachs system. But the Wildcats will be tested early on with a Sept. 8 visit from football powerhouse and defending Fiesta Bowl champs Oklahoma State.
The football team will be sporting copper helmets this year although not for every game as a way to honor the state and the university. Its a fitting move given that Arizona is celebrating its centennial. Copper is not only associated with our great states mining history, but it has influenced architectural design on our campus,including our athletic facilities most notably the ring at the top of the McKale Center, and the future North End Zone Football Complex, Arizona Athletic Director Greg Byrne wrote in a letter to fans about the new helmets.
Called the the worlds first alternative music marching band, the more than 250-member Pride of Arizona Marching Band will live up to that description with an allnew show featuring the music of
College baseball season might seem long past, but its never too late to celebrate the Arizona Wildcats 2012 victory in the College World Series. The Wildcats won their fourth NCAA baseball title in June with a 4-1 victory over defending champion South Carolina. The championship trophy is on display at the Jim Click Hall of Champions adjoining McKale Memorial Center. You can pick up Arizona Baseball apparel on campus at the University of Arizona Bookstore, or online at http://www.beardownshop.com/
All that construction around Arizona Stadium is known as the North Endzone Expansion. The four-story expansion is expected to be complete by summer 2013 and will add about 7,000 seats to the stadium as well as a new headquarters for the football program. Curious how its going? Hardcore fans can literally watch the north Endzone take shape via a webcam at the UA website for Planning, Design and Construction. http://www.fdc.arizona.edu/webcam/NorthEndZone.aspx

If you cant make it to a game in person, it will be easier than ever to catch the Wildcats on television. The new Pac-12 Network launched in August and will ensure that every Pac-12 Conference mens football and basketball game will be on national TV. The network will air 24-7 on regional cable providers in Pac12 territory. Combined with a new long-term contract that the Pac-12 signed with ESPN, it should be possible to catch the biggest Wildcat games anywhere.
Fall means football, but theres more to Arizona sports than that. Soccer, volleyball and cross-country will be in full swing as well. And, of course, basketball season gets under way Oct. 21 with the annual Red-Blue Scrimmage game. For schedules visit the Arizona Athletics Website http://www.arizonawildcats.com/

ua in your Pocket
By Alex Dalenberg inding campus is easy look for the red brick. Finding what youre looking for on campus that isnt so easy because, well, which red brick building are you looking for? Luckily for bewildered freshmen and visitors alike, theres an easy way to find out. The University of Arizona is now available in convenient downloadable form via a smartphone app called Arizona Mobile, available on the Apple iPhone and Android devices. The free-to-
download app is essentially a digital clearinghouse for all things Arizona. Arizona Mobile is loaded with student essentials such as library catalogs and course information, but anyone who sets foot on campus should be able to find a reason to spare
the one or two minutes it takes to download the app. Besides athletics information including sports scores and game schedules campus maps are the apps most popular features, says Lauren Sekora, a senior business analyst with University Information Technology Services who is on the team that manages Arizona Mobile. That feature definitely gets some of the heaviest use, Sekora says. Its very popular. Its no surprise. Arizona Mobile is a clever way to get around campus. Besides detailed maps that use the smartphones GPS to pinpoint the users location, the app uses so-called augmented reality to display information about the users surroundings. Hold the smartphone camera up to whatever youre looking at and the app tells you exactly what it is by showing the data over top of the real-world view. There is also a self-guided tour function, which takes visitors to landmarks around campus, including historic buildings and public art. And if you really need to get someplace, the app can tell you approximately how long it will take to walk to your destination. In addition to maps, Arizona Mobile pulls together information from UA News, tour information and campus events. I think whats been great about this project is that we brought together so many people who otherwise wouldnt have been working together, said Michele Harrison, creative director for UA Student Affairs.
