The University of Arizona rewards the eye and stimulates the imagination in many ways. Make the most out of your visit by looking up as well as around you. Conditions in Tucson allow for stargazing that’s flat-out supe- rior to most other spots in the United States. And there’s no better place in these parts for ordinary folks like you and me to see stars than at the UA Science Mount Lemmon SkyCenter. That’s because the Sky- Center, operated by the UA’s Steward Observatory, has the largest telescope in the Southwest dedicated fully to public observation. Peering into the eyepiece of the 32-inch Schulman telescope and seeing galaxies far, far away — not to mention a few planets in our neck of the universe —is truly an out-of- this-world experience. Make a reservation for one of the Sky Night experiences offered virtu- ally nightly and you’ll join about 20 other humans for an unparalleled evening of heavenly education. Hon- estly, I learned more in five hours than I did in untold hours in science classes. Adam Block, the astronomy host who runs the show, has designed a program that moves briskly back-and- forth from a classroom-type setting laser pointer and finally observing under the Under dome.

One of the professional telescopes, run by the Catalina Sky Survey astronomers, scans the skies on a constant hunt for aster- oids. Another is under the control of astronomers doing their research remotely from South Korea. And while sophisticated soft- ware is responsible for many discoveries today, Block’s ever- expanding familiarity with the cosmos enables him to make discoveries the old-fashioned way — with his eyes. In June 2013, for example, he saw something that caught his eye while he was processing a picture of a galaxy 400 million light years

second-oldest surviving structure on campus The UA’s oldest building was not called Old Main when it was new, of course. The first major building at the first university in Arizona was called the Main Building when it opened in 1891, which makes sense because the two-level structure was the university. The first group of Territorial students — all 32 of them — studied, dined, slept and took classes at the Main Building, which became Uni- versity Hall in 1902 and Old Main in 1927. It was the only classroom facility until Science Hall was built 18 years later. Old Main, closed until sometime next year for a major renovation and restoration project, is a fo- cal point of a fascinating history tour on the second Wednesday of each month. The UA Visitor Center also offers regular walking tours devoted to public art, things to do and other aspects of campus (see schedule). The history tour, which is free like the others, covers a lot of ground in about 90 minutes. You’ll learn that a Tucson building inspector condemned Old Main in 1938. With no money to repair the aging structure, the Arizona Daily Star deemed the building “too shabbily constructed to endure.” The editorial predicted that “its end is not far off.” Indeed, the now-beloved building escaped demolition only because of World War II. “In 1942, the U.S. Navy paid for Old Main’s restoration and used it for their Officer Indoctrination Program,” explained Wendi Roun- tree during a recent tour. “Trainees were housed in Bear Down Gym.” Old Main, which now seems so indispensible, was again threat- ened with destruction in the 1970s.

Sept. 4, 2013 – Feb. 5, 2014 Culture Cache Culture Cache is a group exhibition explores re-appropriation of consumer culture as a language about place within our cultural identity and collective consciousness. The work of Kim Beck, Erin Riley, Greg LaMarche, Kristen Ramirez and Ben Venom include a range of media that involves text, humor, and the refuse of productivity. Private and public spheres collide to form an identifiable language that demarcates the American Spirit. The work reinterprets consump- tion as a response to popular, shared social experiences, despite our vast difference.

On the second floor, among many other things, is documenta- tion of the widespread use of sar- saparilla in the late 1880s. It was claimed to be a blood purifier and a cure for nearly every ailment. Step off the third-floor eleva- tor and you’ll see poison bottles, Chinese remedies, medication for horses, headache wafers, dandruff treatments, hair pomades and pictures of territorial pharmacies. There’s also a 10-gallon ice cream maker from a Winslow pharmacy that served travelers on Route 66 in the 1930s. On the fourth floor is a massive 1950s pharmacy cabinet called a Schwartz case. Seventeen feet long and five feet tall, the cabinet has more than 100 drawers containing natural products from dill to kava kava to witch hazel. Hurlbut’s original donation included what has become the museum’s most famous item. It’s a jar of Blackjack gum chewed by John Dillinger, a regular customer at Owl’s lunch counter in the days before his capture here in 1934. The proprietor had wondered about the “Easterner” who had an annoying habit of sticking his gum under the counter. After Hurlbut realized his customer had been the infamous bank robber, he decided to save the gum. Nearly 80 years later, it still draws attention at the History of Pharmacy Museum.
