If you research the student housing market in Tucson, AZ you will find that most
properties are very similar with only slight differences. Of course, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some properties include all utilities in the rent. Some do not. Some are luxurious (one even has a real mini movie theater). Some are miles away. Some are just steps away from the campus. Some rent to students only. Some will rent to anyone. Some are for students on a budget and offer no amenities. And some are similar to resorts in the range of amenities they offer…you get the idea. But Sahara Apartments stands alone by advertising a “No Party” Policy.
Sahara Apartments, located less than one mile west of the UofA campus on N. Stone Avenue, has had a “No Party” Policy in place since it opened five years ago. In that time there have been no wild parties, no accidents, no drunken or drug-related injuries, and no Red Tags given by the police. Red Tags are given to properties when the police are called for disturbances or illegal activity. Yes, not a single Red Tags in five years.
“Yes, some people view our ‘No Party’ Policy as a negative and frankly, some students choose not to live here because of the policy,” says Ted Mehr, owner and developer of Sahara Apartments. “ We look at Sahara Apartments as a sanctuary for students where they can feel safe, secure and free from the usual commotion that goes on in most student oriented apartment buildings. The kinds of things that can disturb a student’s sleep or study time. As a student-only property, we do not consider ourselves to be in the nightclub business, or the bar and entertainment business. There are plenty of choices for those activities all around Tucson. We are a student’s home away from home.”
Sahara Apartments sponsors social events on a monthly basis. These social activities are held both on and offsite. When they are offsite, Sahara’s shuttle provides free transportation to the events and brings the residents back. Residents can have their friends over and socialize with them in the student lounge, entertain them
in the game room, use the swimming and whirlpools, or study together in Sahara’s study room with free use of the Internet connected terminals.
“Safety is the number one thing parents are concerned about when their child moves away from home,” says Ted Mehr. “The concept of Sahara was born out of my concern for my own daughter’s safety as she was preparing for college. I wanted her to be in a safe and comfortable living environment 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 to that question.”
The concern for safety and security is evident as you approach the entry gate, or when you step into the leasing office. Sahara Apartments steps up with state-of-the art fire safety and security measures that are unmatched by any building in Tucson. The gated property includes an electronic key system with retrievable history of every entry into each apartment and through each gate. The property is equipped with 80 security cameras that monitor all public areas
on a 24/7 basis. There is even a network of infrared beams over the perimeter walls that sound an alarm and calls the owner on his cell phone if the perimeter walls are breached…regardless of the time of day or night. “If someone breaches the security of the building, I want to be the first one to know. If I wanted it for my daughter, I am sure you would want it for yours. It may be considered overly protective, but I would prefer to wake up and investigate in the middle of the night than to find out in the morning that something happened that could have been prevented,” admits Ted Mehr.
What else needs to be said about Sahara Apartments? They have a good 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 as long as you are a resident, lower prices than the on-campus residence halls and comparable off campus student apartments, and you might have guessed…Sahara Apartments is the one property with the mini-movie theater. Check out Sahara’s Website for all the information about this unique student property at www.SaharaApartments.com or stop in and take a tour. The friendly staff at Sahara Apartments would be happy to show you around.

Of all the selling points to publicize, one student property advertises a “quiet environment” and a “No Party” Policy.

UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2011
By Mike Chesnick
Nicole Mendoza wasn’t sure how her 7-year-old son would handle walking up Tumamoc Hill for the first time, especially when he fell behind early. Well, about 30 min-utes later, guess who was waiting for his mother at the top?
“Mom, look at me,” Diego Lopez said proudly.
“I don’t know what happened, but he beat us,” said Mendoza, 28, who also made Tumamoc’s 740-foot ascent for the first time. “I thought it was pretty awesome. It definitely was worth pushing yourself.”
For new students or visitors, a short trip to Tumamoc — which is managed by the UA College of Sci-ence — can be a dramatic introduc-tion to the Sonoran Desert. Mag-nificent saguaros guard the paved 3-mile loop trail west of downtown, and walkers can enjoy killer views of the city and mountains while getting a good cardio workout.
And for the first time since the university bought the desert laboratory in 1960, Tumamoc has a team of 14 volunteer docents looking over it and helping educate walkers about the hill’s rich ar-chaeological and plant history.
There’s a lot of history to talk about. The top of Tumamoc is a mesa where native people built a town more than 2,300 years ago and surrounded it with trincheras, a wall of volcanic rock considered Tucson’s first public architecture. Later, the Hohokam Indians farmed at the base of the hill.
Guide Jeannette Hanby, 70, pa-trols Tumamoc four times a week. She doesn’t always wear her white docent shirt but said, “I’m always ready to respond to questions."
“I volunteer a lot more info than they may have wanted,” she said, “especially about the multiple val-
exploring Tumamoc
2300 years ago: Indigenous people build a town on the mesa at the top of Tumamoc Hill, sur-rounding it with a rubble-laid wall of native volcanic rock.
1500 years ago: The upper town is abandoned as a residence site and it becomes a place of ceremony and pil-grimage.
Pre-columbian millennium: Ex-tensive Hohokam settlement and farm-ing occur at the base of the hill, including an agave plantation on the plain south-east of Anklam and
Greasewood roads. The Hohokam people leave relics such as petroglyphs and pot-tery fragments.
1450: The Tohono O’odham (descen-dants of the Ho-
hokam) move their area of settlement south of Tumamoc, but they maintain their spiritual connec-tion to the hill.
1775: Hugo O’Conor establishes El Pre-
sidio de Tucson east of Santa Cruz River. Tucson, as a modern city, is born.
1880: St. Mary’s Hospital is con-structed at the foot of Tumamoc Hill.
1903: The Carne-gie Institution se-lects Tumamoc for its Desert Bo-tanical Labora-tory. Tucson buys site and leases it as a scientific reservation.

ues of Tumamoc — not just as an outdoor exercise of perfection but historically, biologically, archaeo-logically, symbolically, socially and that vague word, ‘spiritually.’”
The Tohono O’odham, descen-dants of the Hohokam, consider the hill sacred. And at the start of the walk, there’s a white outdoor chapel to the east, where walkers can stop to remember loved ones.
Since 1906, UA staff and stu-dents have been associated with Tumamoc, helping study the hill’s natural ecosystem and traces of Tucson’s ancient people after the Carnegie Institution established the desert botanical lab there with the blessing of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. The school bought the 870-acre site in 1960 from the U.S. Forest Service, which had taken over Tumamoc in 1940.
“Tumamoc is a very important ecology field site. It’s easy for sci-entists to access and has provided significant data,” said Lindsey Parker, 21, the youngest docent at Tumamoc and an ecology and evo-lutionary biology major at UA.
Walkers are told to stay on the path and refrain from picking up rocks or artifacts. In the past, van-dals stole petroglyphs or scratched their names into the rock art.
“The archaeological and natural resources at Tumamoc are very fragile, and a great deal of damage can be done if people don’t under-stand the importance,” said Paul Fish, a UA anthropology professor and curator of the Arizona State Museum, who has studied the hill for more than 30 years.
Archaeologists have mapped the villages on top of Tumamoc, and they are still finding remnants
of agave agricultural fields lower on the hill, including pits used to prepare food. The slopes also con-tain quarries, once used for raw materials for knives.
“In the entire Southwest, the big walls at the top of Tumamoc are considered the earliest examples of public architecture, the first time we have a record of construction that people built at a communal level,” said Suzanne Fish, Paul’s wife, also a UA professor and cura-tor. “On top are the villages of two different periods (Cienega and Tor-tolita).”
More than 2,000 years later, the communal aspect continues.
Hundreds of walkers and run-ners use Tumamoc every day to exercise and socialize with friends and family. They carry water, lis-ten to iPods and push children in strollers. Some carry flashlights, if it’s before sunrise or after sunset.
Docent Terry Towne, 61, an ac-counting supervisor for Brown Mackie College, prefers to tackle the hill early, starting at 5 a.m.
“I enjoy interacting with the walkers,” Towne said. “Tumamoc is a place for the community to par-ticipate and enjoy each other.”
The path, officially 3.14 miles
1906: Tumamoc becomes the world’s first restoration ecology project. A 5-mile-long, barbed-wire fence protects the area from grazing and quarrying. A UA professor and his stu-
dents help map the entire reservation.
1940: The Carnegie Institution sells Tu-mamoc for $1 to the U.S. Forest Service, which agrees to protect it.
1960: UA buys Tum-amoc and promises to use it solely for research and educa-tion. It is now jointly owned by the school and Pima County.
1976: The Interior Department desig-nates archaeological quadrants of Tum-amoc and its three lab buildings a na-tional historical land-mark. It is expanded to cover the entire
870 acres in 1987.
2008: UA College of Science Dean Joaquin Ruiz creates an umbrella called Tumamoc: People and Habitats. Its divisions are the lab, an alli-
ance for reconcilia-tion ecology and the hill’s archaeological activities.
2010: Tumamoc is added to the National Register of Historic Places.
roundtrip, starts at Anklam Road, across from St. Mary’s Hospital. Walkers can take 60 to 90 minutes to finish, depending on how many times they stop to rest. The 740 feet of climbing includes two sec-
tions of 15- and 18-percent grades.Halfway, you walk past three lab
buildings built in 1903 and a green-house. At the top of the hill, there are three unsightly radio towers.

Located on the NE corner of 6th & Campbell, across the street from the University of Arizona, Sam Hughes Court will provide relaxed comfortable quality of living at its nest.
Sam Hughes Court Pima County, which now jointly
owns Tumamoc with UA, plans to replace them with one taller 125-foot tower to improve emergency service communications.
Most at the top ignore the tow-ers, chatting and gazing at the city below. During the week, walkers are permitted only until 7:30 a.m. and after 5:30 p.m., to keep from interfering with UA research.
“It’s an incredible view,” Suzanne Fish said. “You can see off to the Mexican border, Picacho Peak into Avra Valley. ... Even if you work up there a lot, you never get used to the striking view.”
Besides archaeological work, students and staff continue to car-ry out long-term observations and experiments on Tumamoc’s veg-etation, said Pamela Pelletier, UA’s community planner for Tumamoc.
Since 1906, thousands of sagua-ros on the hill have been measured and tracked, which may help man-age the impacts of climate change and urbanization. The population declined in the last two centuries, but the saguaros persist by estab-lishing new seedlings in surges.
“Tumamoc is the world’s oldest and continuous restoration ecology site,” Pelletier said. The lab also is studying threats to desert tortoises and the effect on winter annuals from insects and rodents preying on the plants’ seeds. UA’s goal, she said, is to “become the internation-ally recognized center for conser-vation, research and education of desert ecology and its inhabitants in an urban environment.”
In other words, “Tumamoc is a true treasure for Tucson,” Parker said, “and it needs to be protected while still serving as a gathering place for citizens.”

right: among the Tumamoc docents are (front, from left) carlos serrano, Barry ellen steinbrecher, sandra Hansen, Terry Towne, Lindsey Parker, (back, from left) Leondra Price, Josie Zapata, Jeannette Hanby, angelita Bourbon and Jackie Day.
After 30 years of living in East Africa, Jeannette Hanby is find-ing more adventures as a volunteer docent at UA’s Tumamoc Hill. The 70-year-old has a Ph.D. in animal behavior. For docent Leondra Price, 61, a retired investigator for the city’s Office of Equal Oppor-tunity Programs, the hill “is a gift” and “it’s my responsibility to be a good steward.” Hanby and Price took part in docent training ses-sions in the spring. What Tumamoc means to both:
Hanby: “Besides the view, I get to see day-to-day and seasonal changes in the vegetation, the style and attire of other walkers, the ambiance and appearance of the wildlife. I love the roadrunners and javelinas. ... Tumamoc means a place exuding history, from ancient Amerin-dians to modern users. It means petroglyphs as well as ugly communication towers, fences as well as open unfettered spaces, people measuring saguaros and
mouse runs, old city trash pits and little water-holes with deer and birds, airplanes overhead coming into land at the busy airport as well as soaring vultures. Tumamoc is perspective; a view into the past, present and future of this precious portion of the Sonoran Desert.”
Price: “When I walk the hill, I am able to leave all stresses behind because I am nes-tled in the majesty of the mountains, where the flora and fauna whisper secrets ... nurtur-ing me in my every step. ... There is a space
chiseled out just for me where I can quietly and privately savor a memory, challenge
a theory, leave a hurt or a pain or give thanks. I can sit and listen. And I can hear.”

In their world, reality can smoothly glide into fiction. Meanwhile, unsuspecting weekend guests who enter the peculiar world of the Blisses — a timid flapper, a fit boxer, a respectable diplomat, and a fashionable sophisticate — are repeat-edly thrust into melodramatic scenarios wherein their hosts profess emotions and react to situations that do not truly exist. The comedic chaos that ensues is a laugh-out-loud riot.

Bringing history into focus
From 18th century telescopes to 1960s Instamatic cameras, the curator of UA’s Museum of Optics wants to give you a glimpse into the past By Mike Chesnick
By day, John Greivencamp is a professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona.
At night, he turns into the Indi-ana Jones of the Internet, searching for antique telescopes, binoculars, opera glasses, microscopes, cam-eras and lenses for the UA’s newly dedicated Museum of Optics.
Through eBay auctions, antique dealers and personal donations, he and retired environmental engineer David Steed have collected about 650 items — some from the mid-1700s. The items are spread out in glass display cases throughout the sleek, eight-floor Optical Sciences Meinel Building at the southeast corner of Cherry Avenue and the UA Mall.
“You have to have a lot of bid-ding strategy,” says Greivenkamp, 56, the museum’s curator, who started the collection in 2003. “I’m pretty good at swooping in at the last minute.”
One of his favorite finds is a
silver Galilean monocular, a refract-ing telescope featuring tooled silver and tortoise shell, made in 1780 by Lon-don’s John Dollond. It sits on the seventh floor of the museum, which was dedicated in April.
“We do this in our spare time,” Greivenkamp says. “It’s exciting to find a piece that fills a hole in the collection or represents a signifi-cant technological advance.
“We are always on the look-out for ‘new’ items."
The refracting telescope was invented by Hans Lip-
perhay in 1608, but almost

facing page: “You don’t need to be an optics expert to enjoy the collection,” says ua professor John Greivenkamp. Left: a Grand studio camera is located in the northwest corner of the museum’s lobby. right: Many of the telescopes have intricate designs.
Did You Know?■ From its public open-air
patio, the eighth floor of the Optical Sciences/Meinel Building has a stellar view of campus and Tucson’s sur-rounding mountains.
■ In 2007, the newly expanded Meinel Building and the Eller Dance Theater across the UA Mall were named among Arizona’s 18 Greatest Archi-tectural Achievements, a list that includes San Xavier del bac Mission and Hoover Dam. Meinel’s concrete walls are sheathed in copper alloy, treated to a reddened bronze to reflect the color of campus brick.
■ The large optical sphere mounted on a tripod in Mei-nel’s third-floor lobby turns objects upside down. Opti-cal Sciences professor José Sasián and assistant optician Geoff Bret Harte spent hun-dreds of hours polishing the 350-pound sphere.
■ Founded in 1964, the UA Col-lege of Optical Sciences is one of the world’s premier in-stitutes of optics with about 150 undergrads and up to 200 graduate students. The col-lege recently received a mul-timillion contract to polish the 4.2-meter primary mirror for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope in Hawaii.
300 years elapsed before practical prism binoculars became avail-able. It’s that kind of history that Greivenkamp wants his classes to understand.
“I noticed that our students were losing the connections to the past,” he said. “I teach optical in-strumentation, and knowing what came before in your technology is important in designing new instru-ments. I really want them to first appreciate where the technology they are studying came from, but also to understand the evolution of their chosen profession and to their place in this progression.
“As the collection has grown, I have realized that I had also lost this same connection, and I have learned an incredible amount about the history of optics.”
Greivenkamp has developed dealer contacts across the world, including in Spain, where he ac-quired a 1750s collapsible Galilean locket telescope — a necklace that is “like a half of pair of opera glasses.” He handles the miniature telescope like a proud father hold-ing his child for the first time.
“I’m good at acquisition,” he says, smiling. “I like going shopping for these instruments … it’s like Christmas every day!”
There is no shortage of items on the Internet. A recent search for “antique binoculars” turned up 270 items on eBay, many with bids or buy-it-now prices under $100.
For only $5, he acquired six unopened boxes of Kodak 110 in-stamatics — the first cameras for many growing up in the 1960s and early ’70s. Contrast those with the two unwieldy wooden cameras in the lobby and today’s digital cam-eras, and you realize how far pho-tography has advanced.
“You don’t need to be an optics expert to enjoy the collection,” Greivenkamp said. “After all, we
all have used modern telescopes, binoculars, microscopes and
cameras — even if it was just back in school.”
To accommodate more items from the last century,
such as the Instamatics, the muse-um plans to add four new displays on the fourth and sixth floors.
On the seventh floor, the public can look through the lens of a U.S. Army binoculars/periscope on a tripod. Used for battlefield obser-vation in the mid-1900s, it now allows you to scan the campus or see the Catalinas up close.
“The museum has brought in a lot of visitors, and we hope it brings in a lot more,” Optical Sci-ences Dean Jim Wyant told the Ari-zona Daily Wildcat.
Other collections at the Smithso-nian and at Oxford University may be larger and contain older instru-ments, but Greivenkamp said UA’s museum may have the most items on public display.
Some of the UA items have intri-cate and colorful designs, including 18th-century cardboard telescopes covered in striking shagreen or vel-lum leather.
“One can certainly go through the museum to see the devel-opment of optics technology,” Greivenkamp said, “but you can also explore the changes in the ma-terials used, or even to just appre-ciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these items.”

UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2011
27wc.arizona.edu/ads/visitorguide 27
By Mike Chesnick
For the everyday student or ca-sual visitor, parking on the UA cam-pus can be a stressful experience.
Officials with Parking and Trans-portation Services (PTS) are trying to reduce that anxiety. They’ve re-placed 400 meters around campus with 35 solar-powered digital me-ters that cover between eight and 12 parking spots. The new devices take only credit, debit or CatCards and can be accessed via the Inter-net on your cell phone.
“If you're tied up in a meeting, or your final goes long, you can call a number and add time to the me-ter,” said Mark Napier, PTS associ-ate director of operations. “So you don’t have to worry about rushing across campus to feed a meter."
People can receive text messag-es when meters are due to expire by signing up for an online account through PTS and a third-party ven-dor. The service will allow users to add money by phone for a fee.
“It’s a more cashless society now — I don’t have a single coin in my pocket,” Napier said. “So every time you park in a meter, there’s
that stress reac-tion: ‘Oh, my God. Do I have enough coins to get me enough time?”
The old meters were based on 1900 technology — “that’s not a lie; they basically have
not changed since 1900,” Napier said — so the university decided digital was the way to go, especial-ly because the new meters run on batteries powered by the sun.
Time can be added from your cell phone or any pay machine on campus. And credit card informa-tion is secure because no numbers are stored in the meter, said Mike Delahanty, senior program man-
ager for the meter project.In June, Tucson police were in-
vestigating the theft of several city parking meter canisters filled with change. UA shouldn’t have that problem, Napier said.
“Because they don’t accept coins, these new meters aren’t sub-ject to being broken into,” he said.
The solar-powered meters come a year after PTS installed a solar-powered walkway on North Moun-tain and East First Street, and they aren’t the only “green” services offered by the department. From loaner bikes and rental cars to ride-share and carpool programs, stu-dents and staff have options.
“We know that students look at sustainability efforts as part of how they shop around for their univer-sity,” Napier said.
The League of American Bicy-clists designated UA as a bicycle friendly university — one of 20 in the nation — for its bike sharing, bike station and bike valet ser-vices. Students also can rent the electric Nissan Leaf, one of 11 car-sharing vehicles available on cam-pus through Hertz. Tucson is one of 11 cities taking part in the EV (Electric Vehicle) Project, and UA has installed electric chargers in the Second Street, Tyndall Avenue and Sixth Street garages.
“Parents love it,” said Bill David-son, PTS marketing manager. “They can send their kids here without a vehicle because we have cars avail-able for rental by the hour.”
With the environment in mind, PTS also is exploring a plan to replace the florescent bulbs in its parking garages with LED lights that burn half the energy.
“People only associate us with parking tickets,” Napier said. “We go a bit further than that.”
And the goal is to make navigat-ing the campus easier and safer.
“Parking should be a non-event,” Delahanty said. “That’s our motto.”

1Interim president
When Robert Shelton an-nounced in June he was leaving as UA president to head the Fiesta Bowl, Eugene G. Sander came to the school’s rescue again.
Sander delayed retir-ing as vice provost and dean of the College of Ag-riculture and Life Sciences to take over as interim UA president until
the Arizona Board of Regents ap-points a permanent replacement by summer 2012. Previously, he filled in as UA executive vice president
and provost, and vice president of UA Outreach College.
“Please know that I will not be a caretaker,” he said in a note to faculty and staff. “There will be no inertia. There will be no quiet year of waiting for the next president to come on board. We are going full speed, and we are going forward.”
Sander, 76 in September, grew up on a farm in northwestern Minnesota and was an all-state football star at Dodge Center High School. He received a B.S. degree in Animal Sciences from Minnesota, and his M.S. degree in Animal Nutrition and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Cornell.
He taught at Florida and was a department head at West Virginia and Texas A&M before coming to Tucson in 1987 to help establish UA as one of the nation’s top research universities in agriculture.

By October 2013, the city hopes to have finished work on a $190 million modern streetcar line that will run four miles from Univer-sity Medical Center, through UA and down University and Fourth avenues to Congress Street — con-necting the main campus with the school’s new presence downtown.
With 17 planned stops, the route will follow part of the same line used by Old Pueblo Trolley, but it’s unclear whether the historic cars meet federal standards. New streetcars will connect UA with two planned student-housing projects downtown; UA’s National Institute for Civil Discourse, at Broadway and Stone Avenue; and classrooms at Stone and Pennington.
The institute began after the Jan. 8, 2011, shooting in Tucson

At 5,356 square feet, the score-board is about 6.5 times bigger than the previous screen in the north end zone and thought to be the biggest in the West.
“I can tell you from my past ex-perience ... this new video board will have a dramatic impact on our fans’ game-day experience,” UA athletic director Greg Byrne wrote to fans in his weekly blog.
Due to be finished by June 2013, the end zone expansion will in-clude a club area, football offices, weight room, medical treatment center, lockers and a cafeteria.

It’s time for Arizona Stadium to get another face-lift. The oldest ath-letics facility on campus — built in 1928 — will add a new $5.2 million massive high-definition football scoreboard to the south end zone this season as the conference ex-pands to the Pac-12.
That will allow the school to begin construction on a $72.3 mil-lion north end zone expansion to upgrade premium seating and fan amenities, and provide new facili-

Two new residence hall com-plexes along East Sixth Street will focus on community and sustain-ability, according to UA officials. For the combined 1,088 students moving in this fall, a simple de-scription will suffice — way cool.
Both Arbol de la Vida and Likins Hall feature shared double rooms, elongated corridors with digital-equipped study and gather-ing areas, and a custom-designed Continued on page 31
website and kiosk that encourage students to monitor their use of en-ergy and water in the “green” com-plexes that rise four to six floors.
Arbol de la Vida, or Tree of Life, houses 719 honors students and stretches east from Euclid to Tyn-dall avenues. Near Park Student Union and Main Gate Square, it is split into five buildings — Alma, Bondad, Cariño, Destino and Esper-anza — connected by bridges. With a copper-colored face and etched glass, Arbol has a canyon theme with curving corridors.
Likins Hall, with 369 students at the corner of Highland Avenue, is designed around a hacienda-style courtyard and draws upon arroyo imagery. Named for former UA president Peter Likins, it sits across from the Student Recreation

After nearly 75 years of being housed under the west side of Ari-zona Stadium, UA’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research is branching out. The facility, part of the College of Science, is set to move by late 2012 to the Bryant Bannister Tree-Ring Building and incorporate the Mathematics East complex.
The new building, west of High-land Avenue and south of Fourth Street, will resemble a "tree house," officials say. The “trunk” — or ground level — will include exhib-its. The upper floors will be wider, similar to a tree “canopy” that pro-vides shade to the ground below.
Lab founder Andrew E. Douglass pioneered using tree rings to date ancient ruins of cliff dwellings. An archive will be built to hold the lab’s wood samples.
It was a good summer for the College of Science, which accepted two big gifts for its Biosphere 2 complex north of Tucson: the facil-ity's 40 acres, worth $100 million, and $20 million for research.

John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King spoke here. Bob Dylan and John-ny Cash sang here. Violin-ists Isaac Stern and Itzhak Perlman played here.
UA’s Centennial Hall, known as Main Auditorium be-fore 1985, has hosted some of the world’s most famous people and performers since opening its doors April 22, 1937.
The red-brick building with arched entryways, designed by the late Tucson architect Roy Place, will celebrate its 75th anniversary in April.
“It’s an emotional place, be-cause it’s so historic,” said Jo Alenson, director of marketing for UApresents, the campus host for international performing arts. “Not only is it almost 75 years old, but think about the great people and artists who have performed on that stage.”
The auditorium has hosted four future presidents, starting with then-actor Ronald Reagan in the 1950-51 school year. Kennedy spoke in 1957-58 as a senator from Massachusetts, followed by then-Michigan Rep. Gerald R. Ford in 1966-67 and George H.W. Bush in 1970-71, when he was ambassador to the United Nations.
King appeared at the auditorium in 1959-60, a few years before his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C. His wife, Coretta Scott King, spoke at the hall during the 1968-69 school year, not long after her husband was assassinat-ed in Memphis.
“When we did research for the 70th anniversary, we found type-written letters from Martin Luther King and Kennedy from when they were speakers here,” Alenson said.
Concerts and shows began dom-inating the UA lineup in the 1980s, but UApresents will feature a new speaker series for 2011-12 that in-cludes political satirist Bill Maher (Oct. 2), humorist Garrison Keillor
(Feb. 1), former CNN talk show host Larry King (March 27) and actress Shirley MacLaine (March 18).
They are among a 35-show sea-son that opens Sept. 11 with a 10-year anniversary show featuring the Tucson Symphony Orchestra to mark 9/11 and Sept. 23 with singer Patti LaBelle. Other notable artists include Perlman (Feb. 12) and cel-list Yo-Yo Ma (April 21), the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (March 23), jazz great Branford Marsalis (April 1), singer k.d. lang (Oct. 15), Penn & Teller (Feb. 24)
and Mannheim Steamroller (Dec. 4). National Public Radio also will broadcast its news quiz program, “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me” live from Centennial on March 15.
“We hear from people who say
75 YEARS AGOMain Auditorium, now Centennial Hall, opened the night of April 22, 1937, with a two-hour show that featured a cantata for voices, band and orchestra called “Land of Light,” a ballet, a one-act play by Thornton Wilder performed by the Drama Department, a highlight film of the UA-Michigan State football game and remarks by UA president Paul S. Burgess.
The night concluded with the audience of 2,500 singing the school’s song, “All Hail, Arizona.”
Take a bow, centennial Hall
For nearly 75 years, the performing arts venue for UApresents has hosted a ‘Who’s Who’ list of stars and famous acts.
they remember attending a concert there and how much they enjoyed it,” Alenson said. “We have stu-dents who have worked there who have fond memories.”
Students from the early 1980s, for instance, can boast they saw bands such as the Pretenders, the Police, the B-52s or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Main Audito-rium.
In 1984, the inside of the audi-torium underwent a major $4 mil-lion renovation, which included enlarging the stage from 2,000- to 5,000-square feet and improving the acoustics.
When it reopened in 1985, UA changed the name to Centennial Hall to reflect the school’s 100th anniversary.

With a tight budget a reality in these economic times, Centennial also doubles as a lecture hall — with a big screen — much like it did before the early ’80s. On show nights, that means staffers have to hustle to transform the staging area into a performance venue.
Financially, UApresents benefit-ed greatly from a three-week, 24-show run of “Wicked” at Centennial last January in a rare partnership with Broadway in Tucson, selling 97 percent of available seats.
With no Broadway musical on tap this season, UApresents is seeking more corporate and indi-vidual donors to help put together the 2012-13 lineup, said Ed Frisch, UA associate vice president for

Management.“It’s certainly challenging,”
Frisch said of the economy.“We have two sources of rev-
enue: ticket sales and large donor support. We’re looking at the com-munity to determine how we can engage more folks in our donor base. That will be a big objective.”
UApresents already has a re-lationship with the UA School of Dance — which performs at Cen-tennial from Nov. 17-20 and Dec. 1-4 — but Frisch said a bigger partner-ship, along with the UA School of Music, is the goal.
“We’re really trying to tie UA-presents more closely to the Fine Arts College,” he said. “We could provide internships for students, and host more masters classes,” in which certain Centennial perform-ers go into the classroom to teach.
UApresents also sends perform-ers into children’s classrooms to take its arts message to the com-munity. Field trips to a show at Centennial Hall were put on hold, but students of all ages from UA or the community can get into any show for $15, Alenson said.
The booking process for 2012-13 starts early. UApresents officials will attend arts conferences in the West and in New York, where about 4,000 agents and staff come togeth-er in January to hammer out acts and scheduling.
“The booking process is incred-ibly complex,” Alenson said. “We try to match artists in a geographi-cally sensible way.”
In the meantime, UApresents will keep “rolling along,” Frisch said. The UA department, under execu-tive director Natalie Bohnet, has served the campus and community for more than 10 years. Before that, the UA Office of Cultural Affairs brought performers to Centennial.
“The administration has been very supportive of us,” Frisch said. “I think we have a bright future.”
