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 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 offeryou 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 students 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 students 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, Saharas 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 Saharas 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 daughters 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 breachedregardless 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 guessedSahara Apartments is the one property with the minimovie theater. Check out Saharas 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. Sahara Apartments 909 N. Stone Ave. Tucson, AZ 85701 520-622-4102 Ted Mehr, Owner Ted@saharaapartments.com

exploring Tumamoc
On one of Tucsons favorite hills, UAs desert laboratory continues to make discoveries while giving walkers a 2,300-year history lesson through a new docent program
By Mike Chesnick icole Mendoza wasnt 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 minutes later, guess who was waiting for his mother at the top? Mom, look at me, Diego Lopez said proudly. I dont know what happened, but he beat us, said Mendoza, 28, who also made Tumamocs 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 Science can be a dramatic introduction to the Sonoran Desert. Magnificent 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 hills rich archaeological and plant history. Theres 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 Tucsons first public architecture. Later, the Hohokam Indians farmed at the base of the hill. Guide Jeannette Hanby, 70, patrols Tumamoc four times a week. She doesnt always wear her white docent shirt but said, Im always ready to respond to questions." I volunteer a lot more info than they may have wanted, she said, especially about the multiple valGreasewood roads.

ues of Tumamoc not just as an outdoor exercise of perfection but historically, biologically, archaeologically, symbolically, socially and that vague word, spiritually. The Tohono Oodham, descendants of the Hohokam, consider the hill sacred. And at the start of the walk, theres a white outdoor chapel to the east, where walkers can stop to remember loved ones. Since 1906, UA staff and students have been associated with Tumamoc, helping study the hills natural ecosystem and traces of Tucsons 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. Its easy for scientists to access and has provided significant data, said Lindsey Parker, 21, the youngest docent at Tumamoc and an ecology and evolutionary biology major at UA. Walkers are told to stay on the path and refrain from picking up rocks or artifacts. In the past, vandals 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 dont understand 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 contain 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, Pauls wife, also a UA professor and curator. On top are the villages of two different periods (Cienega and Tortolita). More than 2,000 years later, the communal aspect continues. Hundreds of walkers and runners use Tumamoc every day to exercise and socialize with friends and family. They carry water, listen to iPods and push children in strollers. Some carry flashlights, if its before sunrise or after sunset. Docent Terry Towne, 61, an accounting 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 participate and enjoy each other. The path, officially 3.14 miles
roundtrip, starts at Anklam Road, across from St. Marys 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-

To DocenTs, HILL Is THrILL

After 30 years of living in East Africa, Jeannette Hanby is finding more adventures as a volunteer docent at UAs Tumamoc Hill. The 70-year-old has a Ph.D. in animal behavior. For docent Leondra Price, 61, a retired investigator for the citys Office of Equal Opportunity Programs, the hill is a gift and its my responsibility to be a good steward. Hanby and Price took part in docent training sessions 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 Amerindians 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 waterholes 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 nestled in the majesty of the mountains, where the flora and fauna whisper secrets ... nurturing 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.
Mike Chesnick
Pima County, which now jointly owns Tumamoc with UA, plans to replace them with one taller 125foot tower to improve emergency service communications. Most at the top ignore the towers, 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. Its 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 carry out long-term observations and experiments on Tumamocs vegetation, said Pamela Pelletier, UAs community planner for Tumamoc. Since 1906, thousands of saguaros on the hill have been measured and tracked, which may help manage the impacts of climate change and urbanization. The population declined in the last two centuries, but the saguaros persist by establishing new seedlings in surges. Tumamoc is the worlds 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. UAs goal, she said, is to become the internationally recognized center for conservation, 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.

Bringing history into focus

From 18th century telescopes to 1960s Instamatic cameras, the curator of UAs Museum of Optics wants to give you a glimpse into the past
By Mike Chesnick
professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona. At night, he turns into the Indiana Jones of the Internet, searching for antique telescopes, binoculars, opera glasses, microscopes, cameras and lenses for the UAs 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 bidding strategy, says Greivenkamp, 56, the museums curator, who started the collection in 2003. Im pretty good at swooping in at the last minute. One of his 22 www.arizona.edu favorite finds is a
By day, John Greivencamp is a
silver Galilean monocular, a refracting telescope featuring tooled silver and tortoise shell, made in 1780 by Londons 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. Its exciting to find a piece that fills a hole in the collection or represents a significant technological advance. We are always on the lookout for new items." The refracting telescope was invented by Hans Lipperhay in 1608, but almost
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 Tucsons surrounding mountains. Meinel Building and the Eller Dance Theater across the UA Mall were named among Arizonas 18 Greatest Architectural Achievements, a list that includes San Xavier del bac Mission and Hoover Dam. Meinels concrete walls are sheathed in copper alloy, treated to a reddened bronze to reflect the color of campus brick. mounted on a tripod in Meinels third-floor lobby turns objects upside down. Optical Sciences professor Jos Sasin and assistant optician Geoff Bret Harte spent hundreds of hours polishing the 350-pound sphere. lege of Optical Sciences is one of the worlds premier institutes of optics with about 150 undergrads and up to 200 graduate students. The college recently received a multimillion contract to polish the 4.2-meter primary mirror for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope in Hawaii.
In 2007, the newly expanded

300 years elapsed before practical prism binoculars became available. Its 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 instrumentation, and knowing what came before in your technology is important in designing new instruments. 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 acquired 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 holding his child for the first time. Im good at acquisition, he says, smiling. I like going shopping for these instruments its 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 instamatics 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 todays digital cameras, and you realize how far photography has advanced. You dont 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 museum 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 observation in the mid-1900s, it now allows you to scan the campus or see the Catalinas up close.

Other collections at the Smithsonian and at Oxford University may be larger and contain older instruments, but Greivenkamp said UAs museum may have the most items on public display. Some of the UA items have intricate and colorful designs, including 18th-century cardboard telescopes covered in striking shagreen or vellum leather. One can certainly go through the museum to see the development of optics technology, Greivenkamp said, but you can also explore the changes in the materials used, or even to just appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these items.

no coins needed
By Mike Chesnick For the everyday student or casual visitor, parking on the UA campus can be a stressful experience. Officials with Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) are trying to reduce that anxiety. Theyve replaced 400 meters around campus with 35 solar-powered digital meters that cover between eight and 12 parking spots. The new devices take only credit, debit or CatCards and can be accessed via the Internet 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 meter, said Mark Napier, PTS associate director of operations. So you dont have to worry about rushing across campus to feed a meter." People can receive text messages when meters are due to expire by signing up for an online account through PTS and a third-party vendor. The service will allow users to add money by phone for a fee. Its a more cashless society now I dont have a single coin in my pocket, Napier said. So every time you park in a meter, theres that stress reaction: Oh, my God. Do I have enough coins to get me enough time? The old meters were based on 1900 technology thats not a lie; they basically have not changed since 1900, Napier said so the university decided digital was the way to go, especially 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 information is secure because no numbers are stored in the meter, said Mike Delahanty, senior program manager for the meter project. In June, Tucson police were investigating the theft of several city parking meter canisters filled with change. UA shouldnt have that problem, Napier said. Because they dont accept coins, these new meters arent subject to being broken into, he said. The solar-powered meters come a year after PTS installed a solarpowered walkway on North Mountain and East First Street, and they arent the only green services offered by the department. From loaner bikes and rental cars to rideshare and carpool programs, students and staff have options. We know that students look at sustainability efforts as part of how they shop around for their university, Napier said. The League of American Bicyclists designated UA as a bicycle friendly university one of 20 in the nation for its bike sharing, bike station and bike valet services. Students also can rent the electric Nissan Leaf, one of 11 carsharing vehicles available on campus 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 Davidson, PTS marketing manager. They can send their kids here without a vehicle because we have cars available 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 navigating the campus easier and safer. Parking should be a non-event, Delahanty said. Thats our motto.

Take 5: Discovering ua
By Mike Chesnick When Robert Shelton announced in June he was leaving as UA president to head the Fiesta Bowl, Eugene G. Sander came to the schools rescue again. Sander delayed retiring as vice provost and dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to take over as interim UA president until the Arizona Board of Regents appoints a permanent replacement by summer 2012. Previously, he filled in as UA executive vice president
Interim 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 nations top research universities in agriculture.

Modern streetcar to downtown
By October 2013, the city hopes to have finished work on a $190 million modern streetcar line that will run four miles from University Medical Center, through UA and down University and Fourth avenues to Congress Street connecting the main campus with the schools new presence downtown. With 17 planned stops, the route will follow part of the same line used by Old Pueblo Trolley, but its unclear whether the historic cars meet federal standards. New streetcars will connect UA with two planned student-housing projects downtown; UAs 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

Near Park Student Union and Main Gate Square, it is split into five buildings Alma, Bondad, Cario, Destino and Esperanza connected by bridges. With a copper-colored face and etched glass, Arbol has a canyon theme with curving corridors.

After nearly 75 years of being housed under the west side of Arizona Stadium, UAs 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 TreeRing Building and incorporate the Mathematics East complex. The new building, west of Highland Avenue and south of Fourth Street, will resemble a "tree house," officials say. The trunk or ground level will include exhibits. The upper floors will be wider, similar to a tree canopy that provides 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 labs 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 facility's 40 acres, worth $100 million, and $20 million for research.

By Mike Chesnick ohn F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King spoke here. Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash sang here. Violinists Isaac Stern and Itzhak Perlman played here. UAs Centennial Hall, known as Main Auditorium before 1985, has hosted some of the worlds 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. Its an emotional place, because its 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 thenMichigan 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 assassinated in Memphis. When we did research for the 70th anniversary, we found typewritten letters from Martin Luther King and Kennedy from when they were speakers here, Alenson said. Concerts and shows began dominating the UA lineup in the 1980s, but UApresents will feature a new speaker series for 2011-12 that includes political satirist Bill Maher (Oct. 2), humorist Garrison Keillor
Take a bow, centennial Hall

75 YEARS AGO
Main 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.

they remember attending a concert there and how much they enjoyed it, Alenson said. We have students 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 Auditorium. In 1984, the inside of the auditorium underwent a major $4 million 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 schools 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 benefited greatly from a three-week, 24show 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 individual donors to help put together the 2012-13 lineup, said Ed Frisch, UA associate vice president for

Academic Resources, Planning & Management. Its certainly challenging, Frisch said of the economy. We have two sources of revenue: ticket sales and large donor support. Were looking at the community to determine how we can engage more folks in our donor base. That will be a big objective. UApresents already has a relationship with the UA School of Dance which performs at Centennial from Nov. 17-20 and Dec. 1-4 but Frisch said a bigger partnership, along with the UA School of Music, is the goal. Were really trying to tie UApresents more closely to the Fine Arts College, he said. We could provide internships for students, and host more masters classes, in which certain Centennial performers go into the classroom to teach. UApresents also sends performers into childrens classrooms to take its arts message to the community. 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 together in January to hammer out acts and scheduling. The booking process is incredibly complex, Alenson said. We try to match artists in a geographically sensible way. In the meantime, UApresents will keep rolling along, Frisch said. The UA department, under executive 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.
