Rare Student Property With a
“No Party” Policy
Of all the selling points to publicize, one student property
advertises a “quiet environment” and a “No Party” Policy.
If you research
the student
housing market in
Tucson, AZ you

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

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
5HG7DJVLQ¿YH\HDUV
“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 studentonly 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
OHDVLQJRI¿FH6DKDUD$SDUWPHQWV
VWHSVXSZLWKVWDWHRIWKHDUW¿UH
safety and security measures that are
unmatched by any building 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,
,ZDQWWREHWKH¿UVWRQHWRNQRZ,I,ZDQWHGLWIRUP\GDXJKWHU,
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
PLGGOHRIWKHQLJKWWKDQWR¿QGRXWLQWKHPRUQLQJWKDWVRPHWKLQJ
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 minimovie 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.

UA VISITOR GUIDE SPRING/SUMMER 2011
On Nov. 17, 1960, Robert Frost dedicated the
University of Arizona’s new Poetry Center, reading
a few of his famous poems before a standing-room
crowd at University Auditorium, now Centennial Hall.
During the visit, U.S. Rep Stewart Udall asked Frost
to read a poem at President Kennedy’s upcoming
inauguration (Frost wrote “Dedication” for Kennedy,
but read “The Gift Outright” at the event). The Poetry
Center continues to celebrate its 50th anniversary
with special guests and events. See Page 36

Stars
realign
for
Flandrau
Closed nine months because of budget cuts, the
planetarium and science center stages a successful
return by acting as a portal for the UA College of
Science and offering music laser shows again
n years past, staff at UA’s Flandrau science center fielded more
questions about reviving their Pink
Floyd and Led Zeppelin music laser shows than about the origin of
stars.
“You’d be amazed,” said
Shipherd Reed, digital media producer for University of Arizona
Science: Flandrau. “Anytime people
found out you worked here, they
would say, ‘I remember those laser
shows. What happened to them?’”
Well, Flandrau brought back the
laser shows last year, and they’ve
been part of the 35-year-old science
center’s resurgence after a cut in
state funding closed
the planetarium and
some exhibits for
nine months.
“During the time
we were closed, we
were getting phone
calls and e-mails every day and people
very upset that this
great community
resource wasn’t available anymore,” said
Sean Fitzpatrick, digital media and marketing director. “There’s
been a really positive
response from the
community for both
the new mission for
Flandrau and for
bringing back the laser shows.”
In June 2009, UA saved an estimated $200,000 by closing the center’s main attraction – the Hector
Vector star projector – and science
exhibits, which caused nine layoffs.
Flandrau reopened in April
2010 under the umbrella of the UA
College of Science, which relies
on Flandrau to help oversee and
produce exhibits for outreach programs such as the Mount Lemmon
SkyCenter, Biosphere 2, Steward
Observatory Mirror Lab, Tree
Ring Lab and Tumamoc Hill. Grant
money from Biosphere 2 helped
Flandrau to reopen, and the facility
relies in part on money generated
from the laser shows.
Laser shows were popular at
Flandrau until the late 1990s before being canceled in 2000. Besides the classic Pink Floyd “Dark
Side of the Moon” show, the center
hosted a Halloween show set to
Metallica music and it plans to introduce a U2 show this spring.
On top of that, there’s a big
push to have a full-dome digital
star projector. The old one, Hector Vector, “still stands the test of
time,” Fitzgerald says, but “if you
want any programming, you need
the digital projector.”
School field trips continue to be
a big draw for Flandrau. They give
Southern Arizona students a star
presentation in the planetarium
from Hector Vector and a tour of
the center’s exhibits.
“Cool,” shouted students from
Sierra Vista’s Joyce Clark Middle
School as they played with a laser
exhibit on a recent visit to Flandrau.
In the 1970s, Fitzgerald may
have used a different phrase – “Far
Out” – when he was a Sierra Vista
second-grader touring Flandrau.
“It was my first field trip,”
Fitzgerald, 43, recalls. “When Hector Vector came up out of his well,
he was huge and fearsome.”
During field trips, students also
visit the UA Mineral Museum, on
the science center’s lower floor.
Last year’s exhibit was “Treasures
of the Queen: The Amazing Minerals and Mystery of Bisbee.”
This year's exhibit, "Dangerous
Beauty," features gems and minerals from Afghanistan and Pakistan,
with stories that “talk about how
those minerals are collected and
experiences the mineral collectors and dealers have had” in war
zones, Reed said.
Flandrau had a traveling exhibit,
"History of the Laser," last year.
The hands-on part of the exhibit
will stay, and this spring's traveling
show is "Brain Teasers 2."
In addition, Flandrau sets up
exhibits for the “Marine Discovery” program for kids K-8, which is
taught by UA students and includes
activities such as shark and squid
dissections, a plankton race and a
living tidepool. Reed and Fitzgerald
recently helped deliver a “gigantic”
fish tank to the program.
“(Science) Dean Joaquin Ruiz
has embraced the opportunity for
Flandrau to be a portal to all of the
college of science research, not
just astronomy," Fitzgerald said.
Flandrau also continues to hold
a Science Café downtown at Cushing Street Bar & Restaurant, 198 W.
Cushing Street, with guest speakers
such as Geoffery Notkin, co-host
of the Science Channel’s Meteroite
Men.” Flandrau also has done an
outreach talk in Saddlebrooke, a
retirement community northwest
of Tucson.
“In a broad view, we’re trying
to engage the community to the
fact there’s a lot of exciting re-

“(UA) is a world leader in sciences.
People in this community might be
excited about the Wildcats' (athletic teams), but they don’t have a
sense of our global science status.
“We’re trying to make them
feel that we (Flandrau and the
College of Science) are part
of who the UA is as well.”

Tucson
Festival
of Books
Now in its third year,
the Tucson Festival of
Books has quickly become
one of the city’s most-attended
events, drawing more than 50,000
and 450 authors and presenters.
The Arizona Daily Star and the
University of Arizona are the main
sponsors of the March 12-13 festival, which will be held on the UA
Mall and at various buildings on
campus.
Some authors and journalists
scheduled to attend this year include Elmore Leonard, Michael
Blake, Philip Caputo, Frank Deford,
Jonathan Eig, Alice Hoffman, Luis
Alberto Urrea, Jennifer Lee Carrell,
J.A. Jance, Scott Simon and writing
guru Roy Peter Clark.
Music, entertainment, food and
children’s events add to the twoday extravaganza. A children’s storybook character costume parade,
led by a mariachi youth group, usually opens the festival on Saturday
morning.
UA BookStores, which helps put
on the event, received $50,000 from

For the 12th time, McKale Center will host NCAA men’s basketball tournament action. You won’t
be able to see Arizona at McKale
if the Wildcats make the 68-team
field, but the second- and thirdround games on Thursday, March
17, and Saturday, March 19, should
feature some of the nation’s topnotch college teams.
McKale last hosted early-round
games in 2005, when Bobby
Knight’s Texas Tech beat UCLA
and Utah downed Oklahoma to
advance to the Sweet 16. In addition, McKale hosted the 1974 and
1980 West Regional, and first- and
second-round action in 1977, 1979,
1987, 1991, 1993, 1997 and 2000.
Opened in February 1973, McKale has a capacity of 14,545 and is

For 25 years, students could
walk to Spring Fling, the nation’s
largest student-run carnival, to get
their fill of midway rides, music
and all types of food. It covered
the east and north lawns outside
McKale Center through 1999, when
construction projects pushed the
April event to Rillito Downs.
It’s still not that far to get to
Spring Fling — Rillito is about 4.5
miles north of the UA campus —
and the school says more than
30,000 people still attend the fourday event each year.
The carnival, put on by more
than 3,000 students, helps raise
money for 120 campus clubs and
organizations. The combined gross
profit from the groups averages
$80,000 a year, the school says.
Guitar at UA
Museum of Art
Music professor Tom Patterson
started a weekly guitar concert at
the UA Museum of Art to help his
students overcome performance
jitters, but the shows also are a
chance for visitors to hear some
excellent classical music in a beautiful setting
On most Fridays, from 11 a.m.
to noon, guitar students play for
the public and UA employees on
the museum’s second-floor exhibit
room. Amid 15th-century Spanish
paintings, they perform music from
the Renaissance to modern composers, including Bach, Rodrigo,
Dowland and Assad.
“The students enjoy the opportunity to perform in such a beautiful setting,” Patterson said. “And
the museum’s response has been
very positive.”
The group’s 20 members include
undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students from New Zealand,
Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Norway and
the United States.

Wicked Multiple performances
Co-presented by UApresents and Broadway in Tucson.
Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet
in the land of Oz. One — born with
emerald green skin — is smart, fiery and
misunderstood. The other is beautiful,
ambitious and popular. How these two
grow to become the Wicked Witch of
the West and Glinda the Good makes for
“the most complete — and completely
satisfying — new musical in a long
time,” USA Today says. On Broadway
and around the world, WICKED has won
35 major awards, including a Grammy
and three Tony Awards.

man Rolling Stone calls “potentially the
greatest trumpeter of all time,” is also
hailed as a creative genius, compassionate humanitarian, legendary trumpeter,
masterful composer, arts advocate and
tireless educator and cultural leader. As
Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, he is an evangelist for this uniquely
American-born music — he intends for
it to be not only accessible, but enjoyable.
Feb. 19
Paula Poundstone 8 p.m.
This self-deprecating comedian with
lightning-fast timing engages members
of the audience in dialog so hilarious
it’s hard to believe it wasn’t rehearsed.
Topical and up-to-the-minute, she treats
even the news from Washington so artfully it draws laughter from both sides
of the aisle. Author of There’s Nothing
In This Book That I Meant To Say, she is
a regular guest on NPR’s “Wait Wait ...
Don’t Tell Me.”

Monk reintroduced
audiences
The Big Blue
House Inn
to the breadth of his father’s genius in
the compositions, arrangements and orchestration that earned him the name,
“The Father of Modern Jazz.” Awardwinning drummer T. S. brings to Tucson
the same 10-piece jazz configuration
his father famously pioneered. “This is
guttural, visceral, tap-your-feet music,”
Monk promises, “and we’re going to
swing you to death.”
March 12
Merce Cunningham Dance Company:
“Legacy Tour” 8 p.m.
This will be among the final performances of this iconoclastic company, one of

of its era. On New Year’s Eve 2011, the

artistic legacy. Reviving key works from
Cunningham’s repertory, the program

most surprising
talents,” the New
York Times says.

just 20, McIntyre
has created more than 75 contemporary
ballets for American Ballet Theatre,
New York City Ballet, Hubbard Street
Dance Chicago, Stuttgart Ballet and
other illustrious companies. Using classical ballet as the point of departure,
McIntyre creates emotionally charged
dances that defy categorization, set to
musical scores ranging from Beethoven
and Henry Cowell to Beck, the Beatles
and Ralph Stanley.

March 30
Septeto Nacional de Cuba 7:30 p.m.
Founded in 1927 by bassist and songwriter Ignacio Piñeiro, the group performed at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.
Now composed of a fourth generation
of musicians, the group’s exceptional
musicianship and artistry is firmly
rooted in the musical explosion of Cuban son in the 1920s and ‘30s, evoking
the nostalgic elegance of the ballrooms
and dance clubs of the era. Piñeiro may
have named salsa music with his song
“Échale Salsita, (throw a little sauce on
it).”
April 3
Kronos Quartet 7:00 p.m.
Moving gracefully among the classical,
jazz and rock repertoires, the Kronos
Quartet's work is “thought-provoking,
ear-opening and just plain beautiful,"
according to the Seattle Times. Violinist
and founder Dave Harrington says, “I’ve
always wanted the string quartet to be
vital, and energetic, and alive, and cool,
and to be absolutely beautiful and ugly
if it has to be. But it has to be expressive of life. To tell the story with grace
and humor and depth.”
April 9
American Legacies: The Del McCoury
Band and Preservation Hall Jazz Band
8 p.m.
Boasting a direct lineage from the earliest incarnations of New Orleans jazz,
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band carries
on the traditions passed forward from
the most prolific jazz heritage. The Del
McCoury Band, the most honored group
in bluegrass history, performs original
and traditional compositions with eloquent harmonies. Together in concert,
these groups create a blend of soul-lifting harmonies as the high and lonesome
sound of the Appalachians meets the
hot and lively jazz of New Orleans.
April 16
Martha Graham Dance Company
8 p.m.
An American genius and treasure,
Graham created an art form that would
become the foundation for modern
dance. Her repertoire of 181 works puts
her on par with Picasso, Stravinsky and
Frank Lloyd Wright as one of the 20th
century’s seminal artistic forces. The
company is now led by Artistic Director
Janet Eilber, who worked closely with
Graham for more than a decade. The
program features mixed repertory followed by the full production of Appalachian Spring.
April 29 - May 1
Blue Man Group 5 Performances
Escape the ordinary and be surrounded
in an explosion of comedy, music
and technology. The New York Times
heralds the show as “one of the most
delightful performance pieces ever
staged.” Although the group is impossible to describe, it is an exciting and
outrageous show that can leave the
entire audience in a blissful, euphoric
state. With no spoken language, Blue
Man Group is perfect for people of all
ages, languages and cultures.

Musician, dancer, anthropologist, singer,
song writer, academic, activist and
French knight — all describe Clegg, but
none captures the energy and passion
of the man who has become one of
South Africa’s greatest musical exports.
He campaigned against the injustice of
apartheid and was instrumental in putting the new South Africa on the map.
Clegg found teachers and advocates
among Zulu musicians and performed
and recorded with them before such
collaborations were legal. Known for
his energetic stage performances, he
entertains and enlightens with amusing
anecdotes, historical bits and pieces
and anthropological facts.

The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute
Directed by Cathy Hartenstein
Marroney Theatre
Adam is an awkward, overweight
English student and part-time art museum guard. Evelyn is an experienced,
beautiful graduate student in art. After
a chance meeting, Evelyn and Adam
embark on an intense relationship that
causes Adam to go to extraordinary
lengths to improve his appearance and
character. The Shape of Things is a
startling dissection of cruelty and artistic creation that challenges society’s
most deeply entrenched ideas about art,
manipulation and love.

As You Like It by William Shakespeare
Directed by Brent Gibbs
Tornabene Theatre
This pastoral comedy features one of
Shakespeare’s most inspiring characters, the heroine Rosalind. Disguised
as a boy, Rosalind flees her repressive
uncle’s court for the forest of Arden,
where she discovers her true love,
Orlando. As Orlando pines for his lost
love Rosalind, she befriends him in her
guise as a boy and promises to cure
his heartache. One of Shakespeare’s
best-known comedies, As You Like It
examines the cruelties and corruption
of court life and gleefully pokes holes in
one of humankind’s greatest artifices:
the conventions of romantic love.

More than 500 graduates of UA’s Race Track Industry
Program hit the ground running
and haven’t slowed down,
including top horse trainers
Bob Baffert and
Todd Pletcher
Senior Candice Curtis met star horse Zenyatta during
an internship at Del Mar Race Track near San Diego.

By Mike Chesnick
W
hen Candice Curtis left her
job as a Graceland tour guide to
enter UA’s Race Track Industry Program, it was a bold move for the
Memphis native and self-described
“serious” Elvis fan.
But as Curtis would find out,
she had swapped one “King” for
another.
The UA degree program is at the
top of the charts within the horse
industry, boasting two of the nation’s top trainers – Bob Baffert
and Todd Pletcher – and a host of
other top race track officials.
“I was looking for something
more fulfilling,” Curtis said, about
working at Graceland after graduating from the University of Memphis
with a journalism degree. “And
when I did some research on the
26
www.arizona.edu
(UA) program, I knew it was perfect. The faculty all have professional experience in the industry,
from the regulatory side to racing
secretary to horse training and
breeding.
“There are also many, many opportunities for students to network
with other industry professionals,
and the alumni group is active in
mentoring current students.”
The UA program, or RTIP, offers
two degree concentrations: a business path, for a job in race track
management and marketing, regulation or pari-mutuel organizations;
and an equine management path
for employment in areas dealing
with racing and breeding animals.
Curtis, a 28-year-old senior,
picked the business path, in part
because she needs her sleep.
“As much as I love horses and
being around them, I really don’t

have a talent for training them and
I don’t like to get up at 4 a.m.,”
Curtis said. “I know that the industry needs new blood to help promote it and educate fans about its
unique practices and the colorful
characters who do get up at 4, and
earlier.”
Curtis is among nearly 50 students enrolled in UA’s program,
which has placed more than 500
graduates in the pari-mutuel racing industry since the RTIP began
in 1975. The Marshall Foundation
building, 845 N. Park Ave., houses
the program on the third floor.
Baffert, who grew up in Nogales,
was part of the original graduating
class. Pletcher, raised in California,
graduated in 1989.
Between the two, they’ve won 11

Derbys, six Preakness Stakes and
one Belmont Stakes – and seven

tralia.
“The industry is so small that everyone knows
everyone,” RTIP director Doug
Reed said. “So if someone walks up
to a race track somewhere – and
asks how do I get into this business? – nine times out of 10, some-
one knows us.”
Added Steve Barham, RTIP associate coordinator: “There are a lot
of alumni out there now that aren’t
the famous ones.”
The program is a haven for what
Reed calls “career changers,” students such as Curtis who have previous degrees in other fields.
“I think most people are worried about a job in this economy,”
Curtis said. “But I am actually more
confident now than I was when I
got my first degree in 2006. I feel
like I have a unique niche to fill,
and the people I have met the past
year and a half have all been willing
to help me reach my goals.”
Curtis spent last summer working for the marketing and media
department of Del Mar Race Track
near San Diego. She has written
articles for Thoroughbred Daily
News and helped TurfPublicists of
America set up Facebook and Twitter pages. Curtis met the owners,
trainer and jockey of Zenyatta, one
of the most decorated horses in
history with 19 straight victories,
last year at the RTIP’s annual Symposium.
The Symposium, usually held in
early December at La Paloma Country Club, brings together what Curtis calls “the mover and shakers in
the industry.” The panel sessions
touch on cutting-edge research in
racing, including track safety and
technology advances.
“Students can’t bet better content than what we can deliver in
the classroom that week,” Reed
said. “The Symposium brings all
the who’s who in racing here. For
students job-hunting, it’s great, and
from the industry’s point of view,
this is the conference to go to.”
RTIP also offers a “mentor
lunch” program, in which a student
picks people in the industry to
meet face-to-face. In Curtis’ case,
she dined with the marketing director of American Quarter Horse Association and talked to the marketing director of Kentucky’s Churchill
Downs.
“It’s really a neat piece to the
puzzle,” said Wendy Davis, RTIP associate coordinator, “because you
don’t have to be job-hunting. You
can say, ‘Hey, can you come lunch
with me.’”
Rillito Park
Todd Pletcher
Students in UA’s Race Track
Industry Program like to hang out
at Tucson’s Rillito Park, which has
hosted horse racing from midJanuary through February since
1943. The 5/8-mile track is at the
southeastern corner of North First
Avenue and East River Road.
“I’ve spent nearly every weekend
at Rillito Park watching the local
racing scene,” student Candice Curtis said.
UA alum and top trainer Bob
Baffert’s first Thoroughbred winner
was Flipper Star at Rillito Park in
1979. The track, a National Historic
Site, is the birthplace of quarter
horse racing and the “photo finish,”
and it hosted scenes from the 2003
movie Seabiscuit, according to its
website.
In the last decade, Rillito has
fought to stay in business, relying on help from the Pima County
Board of Supervisors. For racing
information, call (520) 293-5011.

In His Own Words: The Life and Work
of César Chávez. Throughout his youth
and into young adulthood, Chávez
experienced the hardships of being a
migrant farm
worker and
the sting
of racial
discrimination. Motivated by a dream of justice and equality,
Chávez dedicated himself to community organizing and founded the first
farm workers’ union. Utilizing strikes,
boycotts, marches and other nonviolent
tactics, Chávez worked to secure better
pay, job safety, improved living conditions, and other essential protections.
Featuring 38 photographs paired with
excerpts from his dynamic speeches,
interviews and authoritative writings,
“In His Own Words” documents the full
course of Chávez’s career and examines
the life experiences and philosophical
influences that drove him to dedicate
himself fully to improving the lives of
American farm workers.

Expanding Main Gate
Merchants hope a planned multiplex movie theater
project across from the Marriott will help boost business
Did You Know?
By Mike Chesnick
M
ost of the retail shops and
eateries at Main Gate Square dread
the University of Arizona’s winter
and summer breaks, a time when
many students abandon the campus temporarily.
“It’s like losing 57,000 people,”
said Jane McCollum, who manages
Main Gate Square for the Marshall
Foundation.
That’s why the area can’t wait
for a planned $35 million, 14-story
building project that would add
a multiplex movie theater, hotel
rooms and retail space by the end
of 2012 or 2013.
“It will be good for us, because
people leaving the theaters might
come into eat or have a drink,” said
Brendan McHugh, bar manager
for Gentle Ben’s Brewery Co., the
oldest eatery and bar in Main Gate
Square, established in 1970.
The Marshall Foundation, which
owns most of the retail space in
Main Gate Square, is developing
32
the project with J.L. Investments.
It’s expected to be built on a parking lot east of the nine-story Tucson Marriott University Park, 880 E.
Second St., and north of University
Boulevard. The foundation is working with UA and the city on rezoning, parking and traffic plans.
“There are a lot of moving pieces
and coordination issues,” McCollum said.
Retail space, according to McCollum, would be two stories’ high
on one level, with six to eight theaters on the next level that would
occupy two more stories. The
upper floors would include 130 to
150 hotel rooms – possibly run by
the Marriott. McCollum could not
reveal information on the movietheater operators, retailers or hotel
yet, but she said the end of 2012
or 2013 would be the ideal target
opening date to coincide with the

Marching Band at Main Gate Square during
Bear Down Friday, a pep rally held the night
before every UA home football game.
Louise Foucar Marshall,
who started the foundation
in 1930 that now runs Main
Gate Square, became one of
Tucson’s wealthiest and most
charitable women, thanks to
her real estate deals and investments near UA.
She also faced controversy
after being accused of shooting her husband, Tom Marshall, on April 27, 1931. He
died 23 days later, and Louise
was charged with murder.
On Sept. 23, 1931, an all-male
jury in Nogales found her not
guilty after only 20 minutes,
swayed by the fact she suspected her husband of trying
to poison her twice.
Despite scathing editorials
in the Arizona Daily Star and
Tucson Citizen, Marshall returned to Tucson, continuing
her charitable works until her
death in 1956.

about $577,000 a year,” McCollum
said. “Now we are giving away
close to a million dollars a year.
Half of that generally goes to the
University of Arizona.
“This year in scholarships, we’re
giving away close to $400,000 during a time that the university really
needs it.”
Another benefit, McCollum says,
is that Main Gate “has actually
helped to recruit students.”
“Parents love the fact, and so do
the students, that they can walk
around and have a nice variety of
restaurants, a lot of different cuisines, and good clothing stores … a
nice area to hang out.
“That’s one of the reasons we
big holiday movie releases.
Main Gate, a two-square-block
area west of campus between Park
and North Euclid Avenues, owes its
roots to Louise Marshall, the UA’s
first woman professor, who built
the first stores at Park and University in 1922 and established the
Marshall Foundation in 1930.
The non-profit corporation donates income from its real-estate
holdings — which has increased
because of the redeveloped Main
Gate Square area — to non-profit
community service and educational organizations in Pima County,
including UA.
“When I first started here seven
years ago, we were giving away
re-developed in the first place. The
UA felt that it was losing students
to ASU because of Mill Avenue
(in Tempe). The comparisons are
apple to oranges. Mill is the downtown of Tempe, whereas we are
the downtown of the university –
although we are trying to broaden
our base, and we have to attract
people from the outside. As the
value of our real estate continues
to go up, it’s important to have
people from the community (be
involved).”

opening in 1996 helped boost development in the area.
Main Gate Square now boasts 31
restaurants or eateries, 16 retailers
and seven salon shops, in addition
to the Marriott, the Arizona Credit
Union and Arizona Bookstore, the
oldest retailer from 1943. The second oldest is Landmark Clothing
and Shoes, started in 1959 and formerly called Franklins, co-owned
by Mort Edberg and John Finkelstein. Edberg, who’s seen University Boulevard grow from a sleepy
stretch into a thriving area, said
the theaters would be a big draw.
“The foundation,” he said, “is
doing a much better job of attracting people.”
The latest to be attracted is
Ramiro Scavo, the executive chef
of Zona 77, Hacienda del Sol and
Harvest restaurants. The name of
his new restaurant at Main Gate,
in the former Café Paraiso space,
is still up in the air. But he plans to
offer modern American cuisine using local Farmer’s markets for vegetables and other ingredients.
Another recent addition to Main
Gate is “OOO!” – or Outside of Ordinary – a store near the northeast
corner of Tyndall and University
that carries eclectic clothing, jewelry, house wares and art. McCollum
bought a 4-foot metal sculpture
that “is one of a kind because they
aren’t making that type of tomato
can anymore,” she said.
McCollum said the area’s merchants are happy McKale Center is
hosting an NCAA men’s basketball
tournament regional March 17 and
19. The regional draws eight teams
– and their fans – from across the
nation. During the last regional
at McKale in 2005, Main Gate was
packed each day, she said, with
out-of-state fans and local boosters
watching the Wildcats’ tournament
games on television. Fans also can
take a streetcar from Main Gate to
Fourth Avenue, which also features
bars, restaurants and shops.
Every first Thursday of the
month, Main Gate holds an art walk
from 5 to 8 p.m., complete with
live music and entertainment. Last
year, Main Gate showed an outdoor
movie during the Tucson Festival
of Books on campus. McCollum
hopes to do that again. And during
football season is Bear Down Fridays, which features the UA Pride
of Arizona Marching Band.
During “Wicked,” held at Centennial Hall in January, some of the
area’s retailers and eateries carried
through the theme of the Broadway
musical in their stores and menus.
Events such as Wicked draw
people to Main Gate Square at
night, often a slower time than
lunch, when more students are out
and about. The proposed movie
theaters, McCollum said, could
help sustain the area during weekday and weekend evenings.
“They also can help raise people’s interests in coming to the area
for other entertainment as well,”
she said.

Cosmology: Making Sense of the
Universe
Guy Consolmagno SJ, Astronomer and
Curator of Meteorites, Vatican Observatory, Castel Gandolfo, Vatican City State
Our “cosmology” is the sum of our
assumptions and deductions of how
the universe behaves. But cosmologies
can also be outlined in ways that don’t
use physics and astronomy. The talk
will look at historical cosmologies, and
discuss the sometimes hidden assumptions that underlie modern astronomy.
Feb. 8
Origin of the Universe: The Big Bang
Christopher D. Impey, Distinguished
Professor, Astronomy/Steward Observatory, The University of Arizona
This scientific theory of creation began
13.7 billion years ago when all matter
and radiationñunder conditions of incredible temperature and densityñwere
contained in a region smaller than an
atom. This talk will tell the story of how
an iota of space-time turned into a vast
cold universe of 100 billion galaxies.

Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Inflation: The Big Mysteries of Cosmology
Michael S. Turner, Professor, Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, University of Chicago
Turner will discuss the evolution of the
universe from a burst of accelerated
expansion (known as inflation) through
the assembly of galaxies and large-scale
structure shaped by dark matter, to our
present epoch where dark energy controls the ultimate fate of the universe.
The model is based on new physics that
have yet to be revealed and understood.
Feb. 22
Astronomical Alchemy: The Origin of
the Elements
Philip A. Pinto, Associate Professor,
Astronomy/Steward Observatory,
The origin of the silicon in rocks, the
iron in our blood, and the oxygen we
breathe lies in the lifecycle of stars.
Nuclear reactions, which transform
light elements into heavier ones, cause
stars to shine and explode, seeding the
universe with their production. These
building blocks of ordinary matter help
form planets and the evolution of life.
the Earth close enough to the Sun for
life to form. Gravity also ends the life of
every massive star with a collapse and
a formation of a black hole, the major
topic of this talk.

Origins of Black Holes: Gravity at Its
Extreme
Feryal Özel, Associate Professor, Astronomy/Steward Observatory, University of Arizona

The Oldest Question: Is There Life
Beyond Earth?
Carolyn Porco, Cassini Imaging Team
Leader, CICLOPS/Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colorado
Because nothing unusual was required
for the origin and development of
terrestrial life, life may be pervasive
throughout the cosmos. Porco
addresses the ancient and beguiling
question of whether extraterrestrial
life exists, a question that humankind
is actively seeking the answer in its
explorations of the planetary systems.
