Jameson Lopez, a University of Arizona assistant professor in the College of Education, received the chance of a lifetime after he was invited to the Super Bowl by Arizona Cardinals football player Larry Fitzgerald. In addition to an all-expense-paid trip to Atlanta for both him and his father, Lopez had a chance to meet with Fitzgerald again and attend the NFL Honors on Saturday evening. Lopez was also invited to the USAA Salute to Service Military Appreciation Lounge, where he was honored for his military service. “It felt really surreal … It wasn’t until they bought my plane ticket and gave me the confirmation to the hotel room like a week ago that I was finally like ‘Ok, this is real,’” Lopez said. Lopez was selected as a Tillman Scholar in 2015. Through the Tillman Foundation, he took a tour of the Cardinals facility in Tempe where he met Fitzgerald and filmed a commercial with him for “My Clause My Cleats.” “[Fitzgerald] is a great guy. You know, you see people, and they’re super athletic and famous, but he’s actually a man of substance and character, and for me that was so refreshing,” Lopez said. The foundation was founded in 2004 following the death of Pat Tillman, a former Arizona Cardinals football player who left his career in sports to enlist in the United States Army in 2002. The foundation is dedicated to supporting military veterans through academic scholarships.

It is ok to cry You do not have to be strong all the time. It is okay to cry. It is inevitable that at some point you are going to miss home. If I feel like I want to cry, I call my mom or best friend and let them know how I am feeling. Usually after the conversation, I want to cry more, and that is perfectly fine. Holding in all of your emotions never ends well. In the end, it will always be okay.

n August of 2018, I left my little suburban Pennsylvania town and moved to the other side of the country, abandoning my family, my friends and the life I was accustomed to. As I got on the plane to leave for Wildcat Country, the sadness of leaving everything behind had not quite hit me yet. When I went through a week of recruitment to be involved with Greek Life, it still had yet to hit me. As I bonded with my new sisters and created wonderful friendships, it still never hit me. As finals approached for the fall semester, my sad emotions were nowhere to be seen. SAD? Who is she? It was not until I came back to Tucson for the spring semester that I realized I was a long way from Pennsylvania. I felt alone, angry and annoyed that I once again had to leave everything and everyone back at home for another five months. Instead of being down in the dumps, I have looked into new ways to stay positive and on track for school. So far, they have proven to be successful.

dont threat on me
GRAPHICS BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO | THE DAILY WILDCAT
An attack on an Uber driver! A balcony monologue! Mysterious pants! It was an eventful night for one man before, during and after a party at the former Kappa Sigma fraternity house on Jan. 20. According to the University of Arizona Police Department report on the incident, an Uber driver picked up four people at approximately 1:40 a.m. and began to drive them to a party. The male passenger in the backseat took out an electronic cigarette, but the driver asked him not to smoke in his car. He put the pen away, but glared at the driver through the rearview mirror during the trip, the driver later told an officer. When they arrived, the man exited the car, then yelled at the driver, telling him that if he had let him vape in the car the man would have given him a much higher review. The driver replied that he did not care. According to the driver, the man then stood at the front passenger window and threatened the driver, who then responded that it would be a bad idea to follow through. The man reportedly lunged at the driver through the window, threatening to kill him. The driver quickly exited the car to avoid being hit. Several other men who had been standing in front of the fraternity house rushed to physically restrain the man, who was still threatening to kill the driver. The others called the man by his first name while
Wednesday, February 6 - Tuesday, February 12, 2019
police beat restraining him. They were eventually able to get him inside the house. The driver reported the incident to UAPD, and an officer arrived at the scene. The driver recounted his story and said he feared for his safety and wanted to prosecute for the threats. The officer knocked on the fraternity house door, but it took several attempts before two men finally answered. They both denied knowing anything about the incident, though the driver said that the men had been a part of the group who had restrained the man. When the officer asked about the man, using his first name, the men replied that there were a lot of guys with that first name at the party. They then said they would go try to find the man the officer was talking about, but several minutes later, they had not returned. A person then appeared on a balcony. The officer called up to them, who the officer noted looked intoxicated, and asked if he knew where the man was. Within minutes, the person had descended the balcony and identified himself to the officer as the man he was looking for. He denied knowing anything about the threats and said he’d been at the fraternity house all night. The driver positively identified him as the man who had threatened him, though he had evidently changed clothes after entering the house. Based on that identification and description, the officer arrested the man on charges of Threats and Intimidation. The officer conducted a search of the man and found a wallet containing a driver’s license that did not match the man. The officer asked about it, and the man insisted the pants were his but the wallet was not, and he could not explain how it got there. The wallet was returned to its owner. The officer transported the man to Pima County Jail and sent a Student Code of Conduct referral to the Dean of Students Office.
dog days of winter It was a ruff night for one Beta Theta Pi fraternity member after a dog bit him outside the fraternity house on Jan. 20. A UAPD officer arrived on scene at approximately 11:30 p.m. to assess the
situation and the fraternity member’s condition. The member told the officer how the dog bite happened. According to the fraternity member, he and his fraternity brothers had been on the house’s balcony when two men who appeared to them to be homeless called up to them asking for water. A few of the members met the men on the sidewalk in front of the house and brought them cups of water. According to the fraternity member, the men began to complain they were not given full jugs of water. The two groups got into an argument. The fraternity member went to tell his brother not to get into a fight and began pulling some away from the altercation. As he was doing this, a dog, belonging to one of the men, ran to the fraternity member and bit him on his right leg. The men then walked away. The fraternity member showed the officer the bite marks. According to the report, the fraternity member’s right calf had four teeth marks in it. One of the marks had broken through the skin and caused minor bleeding. Medics from the Tucson Fire Department arrived on scene and cleared the fraternity member, who said he would clean the wound himself. He then described the men to the officer but said he was not certain he could identify them due to it being dark when they were there. He was also unsure the dog’s breed, but believed it may have been a German Shepherd. The officer found three men walking in the nearby area, one of whom matched the suspect description; however, they did not have a dog with them. The two men were never located.
my father will hear about this
Just like insurance and phone plans, college students will apparently use their parents’ lawyers for as long as possible. At least that was one student’s plan after he was caught allegedly making women uncomfortable in Highland Market on Jan. 21. A UAPD officer arrived at the market at around 12:45 a.m. after he was brought to the attention of A-team security guards who reported him to the police. The office noted that the student was “clearly intoxicated” as he spoke. In slurred speech and with a “blank stare” he told the officer that he had stopped by the market with some friends, when the security guards began to harass him for no reason. The guards asked him to leave, but the student said he felt they could not make him leave, because he “knew his rights.” A second officer who was also on scene told the first officer that he had conferred with two separate groups of women inside the market who reported that the student had approached them and asked if they wanted to join him in his dorm room to do drugs. The women had informed the security guards that the student was making them uncomfortable, which is when they asked him to leave. The first officer told the student to leave the market and go back to his dorm for the night. He also informed him that he would alert the Dean of Students Office about the incident. The student responded by saying he would have his father’s lawyer handle the incident and that his interaction with the officer “didn’t need to go any further.”

ARTS & LIFE | Q&A RELIGIOUS STUDIES
Religious studies professor selected for prestigious program Professor Daisy Vargas discusses her background in Religious Studies and her recent selection for the Young Scholars in American Religion program’s 2019-2020 cohort BY ARIDAY SUED @Aminaj__
Daisy Vargas, a University of Arizona professor in the Department of Religious Studies & Classics, was recently selected into the prestigious 2019-2020 cohort of the Young Scholars in American Religion program. The aim of the program is to train and mentor future educators and scholars in American Religion. Her specialization is Catholicism in the Americas; race, ethnicity and religion in the United States and Latinx religion. Vargas spoke to the Daily Wildcat about what sparked her interest in religious studies, what being selected into the cohort means to her and how she will benefit from it. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. Daily Wildcat: Why did you decide on a degree in religious studies? Daisy Vargas: I became interested in religious studies when I was an undergraduate. It mostly came through professors who made links between religion and political and social movements. The more I read and understood about American history in particular, and the history of the Americas, it became really clear to me that religion had a huge part to do with it. DW: What about religious studies interests you the most? DV: I love interacting with folks. Much of my research is based on ethnographic methods. I go out and go to religious festivals, sites and services and meet with different individuals and communities. I get to speak to them and hear in their own words what their experiences mean to them. DW: Is religion a big part of your life? DV: Religion is a big part of my life, because in many ways, I’ve dedicated my life to it. I’m a researcher by training and at heart. One of the big draws for me, as far as research goes, is being able to engage with folks and other people, and I think my interest in religion and religion practice allows me to be able to constantly

connect to people and hear their stories. DW: What does being selected to the 2019-2020 cohort of the Young Scholars in American Religion program mean to you? DV: First, it’s an honor to be chosen as part of cohort. It’s a program with an established record of creating communities of scholars of American religion that collaborate with and support each other and end up being really influential to each other throughout their career. I’m excited to be a part of this community and be able to contribute to that feeling of collegiality. DW: How did your family and friends react after they learned you were
selected? DV: They were incredibly happy for me. Especially my colleagues here at the University of Arizona from the Department of Religious Studies & Classics, as well as the College of Humanities. They have been an incredible network of support. DW: How do you think you will benefit from this program? DV: One of the large benefits of this program is to be able to engage and meet other junior faculty and emerging scholars of American religion. I think that type of support is incredibly important, in our field in particular, so I look forward to that especially.
DW: What is one thing you would like every UA student to know about religion and American culture? DV: Every part of American culture is touched by religion practice and religion experience. Vargas is working on her most recent project, “Mexican Religion on Trial: Race, Religion, and the Law in the U.S. – Mexico Borderlands,” which traces the roots of Mexican religion, race and law from the 19th century into the present day, especially when it comes to the history of anti-Mexican and anti-Catholic attitudes in the United States.

NEWS | SUCCESS DISTRICT
AIYA CANCIO | THE DAILY WILDCAT
A VIEW INSIDE THE University of Arizona Main Library’s ground floor renovations on Sunday, Feb. 3, in Tucson. The renovations are part of a larger plan to create the Student Success District, which will see upgrades to the Main Library, the Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library and Bear Down Gym, as well as a new four-storey building nearby.
Student Success District construction under way BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
The University of Arizona’s iconic Bear Down Gym is undergoing a transformation. The fences are up and construction is starting, and the UA Student Success District is taking shape. When UA President Dr. Robert Robbins introduced the UA’s new Strategic Plan last November, the new Student Success District was a key component of his project to improve the student experience at the UA. “The Student Success District will be the center point for all student services, advising, mentoring, gathering [and] activities and will serve as a place for students to gather,” Robbins said during his presentation. The district will consist of a new Student Success Building behind the newly renovated Bear Down Gym as well as new linkages between the UA’s Main and Science and Engineering libraries. The $81 million project is funded through gifts to the university and a student fee and is expected to be completed by fall 2021. The district will centralize tutoring and academic advising services for students, host mental health and campus wellness
programming and provide students a hub to access library resources and technology, according to the district’s website. “The main goal of the project is to take the burden off students and provide them one place to go to get their questions answered and feel supported,” said Natalynn Masters, the UA’s student body president who has been a part of the district’s planning. For Robbins, the district will also serve as a tool to accomplish some of the goals, like increasing student graduation, retention and recruitment, that he set out in his strategic plan. According to Nicci Ainuu, the administrative services manager for the UA’s Think Tank, students should not expect to experience any disruptions in the resources they can access through Bear Down Gym during the construction of the new district. The UA’s Think Tank, a tutoring resource for students, will be housed in the new district. Ainuu said she expects the new district to improve the Think Tank for students. “The goal for the Student Success District is to have a much more collaborative and dynamic space in Bear
Down Gym for the Think Tank that allows more students to have a comfortable space,” Ainuu said. Joining the Think Tank, the UA’s Student Engagement and Career Development will move into the district from its current office in the Student Union Memorial Center. Annie Kurtin, associate director for student engagement, said she is excited for this move and believes it will allow her and her colleagues to see the impact of their programs and work together to better serve students. “Currently, our department is tucked away in the Student Union. This new shared space will allow us to more effectively collaborate with our peers,” Kurtin said. “This melting pot will allow us to better support students’ journeys.” While the district will serve as a campus hub for student services, the UA’s interim provost, Jeffrey Goldberg, also said he imagines the new space as a collaborative hub for students to meet, share their ideas and chase after innovation. “Many of the district’s spaces will provide increased access to cutting-edge technologies that enable students to collaboratively design, prototype, and fabricate physical and digital creations
as part of the learning process,” Goldberg said in an email to students. According to Goldberg, the easyto-find space will encourage learning outside of the class and augment the UA’s curriculum, directing more students to 100% Engagement like campus research and career internships. Students can view mockups of the UA’s plan for the district and the surrounding environment on the district’s website. The university is still seeking student input on the project. “Our student government and I have been involved in workshops with UA’s libraries to gain feedback from students on what they want this district to look like, all the way down to the furniture for the new spaces,” Masters said. Robbins said he has high hopes for the project, one of the backbones of his ambitious Strategic Plan. “The Student Success District will be a special place — it will not only help us recruit the brightest students, but it will also be one of the center points of academic life,” Robbins said last November. Once completed in 2021, students on campus will certainly have a new space to explore.

ARTS & LIFE | FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
JAMESON LOPEZ FROM THE COVER
After obtaining his bachelor’s degree in elementary education from American Indian College in Phoenix, Lopez was commissioned as an Army officer in January 2002. During his service, Lopez led a tank platoon in Operation New Dawn during the Iraq war, where he coordinated more than 300 combat missions with the Iraqi and Kurdish security forces. “We were stationed in a small patrol base about eight miles east of the Tigris river,” Lopez said. “We sat out there and just occupied the space and tried to flush out some of the terrorists that were in the area. After that year, we came back home all alive, and we were blessed for that.” Lopez received a bronze star medal for his actions in combat. As a member of the Quechan tribe in Fort Yuma, Calif., Lopez cites his strong ancestral background as his call to join the military. “I come from a really strong warrior tradition,” he said. “Our tribe has always been known as fighters, both men and women. So knowing that I have family members who were in World War I, both my grandfathers were in World War II, I had nine uncles in Vietnam and then cousins that were in Iraq and Afghanistan, I knew it was my time.” When he returned from deployment, Lopez continued to focus on his education, getting his masters in curriculum and instruction and a Ph.D. in educational policy and evaluation from Arizona State University. He was hired as an assistant professor in the UA’s Center for the Study of Higher Education in fall 2018. According to Lopez, being selected as a Tillman Scholar has been a humbling experience. He’s grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an impressive group of people and for the platform he’s been given to promote his number one passion: the support and education of Indigenous communities. Lopez said his parents are his greatest inspiration for the work he does within Indigenous communities. His mother, Belinda Flame Lopez, grew up in a onebedroom mud house on the Quechan reservation. “Due to the boarding school era and all the things were happening through colonization, my mom grew up very poor and in an alcoholic home that was extremely abusive,” Lopez said. When she was 12, Belinda’s father died of alcohol poisoning. Later that same year, a man from the Tohono O’odham tribe, who was also Quechan, came to their reservation with a group of native college students to talk to young Indigenous students about higher education.

mom, at the age of 12, changed the entire legacy of our family, from what could have been into what it is now, allowing me to be at a university as a tenure track professor. So, I think for me, seeing and knowing her story really helped motivate me,” said Lopez. Lopez’ parents worked as professors at American Indian College as he was growing up. As a family, they would travel to various Indigenous communities to talk about education opportunities. “I got to see all these different tribal communities and what their needs were and see what their lives were really like,” he said. “My parents would tell them about going to college, just like someone did with my mom.” Lopez said he is proud to be continuing the same work his parents did and that somebody else did for his family. “My goal has always been the same. Let’s get more native students into college and graduated and back into their communities,” he said. “Part of the reason why I love being [at UA] is because I get to help bridge those gaps within our community and the university, and creating those pathways for students.” Lopez’ parents said they are especially proud of everything he’s been able to accomplish. As a mother of three, Belinda said that they always encouraged their children to be determined and persistent. “Coming from an alcoholic home and background, I’ve always wanted to see them succeed and working toward better lives, providing for themselves and for their families,” she said. “Seeing that being accomplished is an awesome experience.” With two children of his own, Lopez said he is excited for the opportunity to pass this legacy on. Lopez often travels to reservations with his children and includes them in the community service that he does. “When I think about what my mom did for me and how my parents allowed me to experience that life of going to all these different communities … it’s important for me to bring my kids to those same communities,” Lopez said. As for his work at the UA, Lopez said he is excited to work among a diverse and dynamic group of faculty, and to continue his work within Indigenous communities. “To Indigenous students I would say don’t forget where you come from, don’t forget your culture and your heritage. Although It’s not always valued within an institution of higher education, it is valuable. Don’t lose sight of that,” Lopez said. “Those things are important to who you are a person. It’s something I try to maintain, my cultural identity, within an institution that historically wasn’t necessarily made for Indigenous students.” Although he feels very accomplished at 33 years old, Lopez said there is still a lot of work to be done within Indigenous communities and he will continue to ask what more he can do. With support from the Tillman Foundation, Lopez hopes to continue supporting the needs of Indigenous students, even from the Super Bowl.

Astronomer to ‘Race Across the West’ BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs
Competitive cyclist and University of Arizona professor of astronomy Eric Pearce has challenged himself to finish one of the biggest cycling tournaments in the country in just three and a half days. Beginning in Oceanside, Calif., and ending in Durango, Colo., the Race Across the West is the second-longest qualifying race for Race Across America, or RAAM — three to four days of near-constant cycling over 930 miles, through four states and two time zones. The diverse terrain is unparalleled in any other qualifier. Pearce remembered seeing RAAM on television while in college, but said he believed it was out of his league. A race of that magnitude seemed “too outrageous”. “Then I got older and realized it really wasn’t that outrageous. I could do it,” Pearce said. “I better hurry up and do it because very few people over 60 have finished RAAM. If I’m going to finish RAAM, I need to start now.” Pearce has undergone major physical and mental challenges preparing for RAW. For the past year, Pearce has been waking up at 4 a.m. and riding about 400 miles every week. He plans to add another ride every weekend, resulting in three back-to-back rides in a span of two days. It’s difficult, Pearce said, but an essential part of his training. During RAW, Pearce and other cyclists will be sleeping about two hours each day, if that. “People have fallen asleep, fell right off their bike or ride off the road,” Pearce said. Another critical facet of training for a

multi-day race is altering diet, according to Pearce. With the support of his crewmate and nutrition sponsor Maria Crawford, Pearce has been including more fat and calories in his diet. According to Pearce, he has to eat 500 calories every hour during RAW, so he has trained his stomach to tolerate that while still cycling. “If you dig a hole, it’s hard to get out of. If you don’t eat enough on day one, you may never recover,” Pearce said. During RAW, Pearce is required to have a crew compiled of his close friends and colleagues as a “safety mechanism”. “It’s a big ask from your friends, to take five days out of their lives to follow you down the road at 18 miles an hour,” Pearce said. “I will thank them profusely for that.” The crew is required to follow Pearce at night in a car with lights and signs. During the day, they offer “leapfrog” support. Among them is Pearce’s wife and crew chief Cathy Pearce. According to Cathy, crewing is a lot of work. They sleep in odd places and have to take care of themselves as well as Pearce, but it’s rewarding. “You can’t do this race alone. You need
a lot of support along the way,” Cathy said. “I worry about him, but you have to follow your passions and not let worry hold you back.” As an astronomer, Pearce’s favorite part of his job is the relationship between man, nature and technology. He loves working with big equipment and trekking through snowy mountain to bring heavy equipment to some of the biggest telescopes in the world. In that way, cycling is a lot like astronomy. “[Cycling] combines a very simple machine with a pretty complicated sport,” Pearce said. “There is the sheer fitness of it. It involves a lot of strategy, accounting for pacing and weather. The subtleties of teamwork. It’s a thinking man’s sport.” According to Pearce, cycling offers a lot of time to think, especially during multi-day races. After a while, the long days don’t bother him all that much — he makes the most of them. He has written entire pages of astronomy papers in his head while cycling. “[During a 300-mile race last year], there were these five wonderful hours after dark where you just lose the sense of time, the sense of distance, because it’s night and you can’t see very far anyway,” Pearce said. “The time just clicks by.” He believes he found something
worthwhile in athletics that translates into his work and home life. Athletics, he said, builds character and offers the rare opportunity to truly learn from one’s mistakes. “Working for anything to perform at the elite level, you learn a lot of skills along the way that help with everything else in your life,” Pearce said. “When you learn those lessons in your career, there are real consequences for that, but when you learn them in sport, it’s a rehearsal.” Cathy has seen the changes in Pearce over the past year and, as a competitive runner, understands the wisdom that elite athletics can bestow. “It’s a big challenge,” Cathy said. “Any challenge brings confidence to handle challenging situations in life.” There are easier ways to qualify for RAAM than taking on RAW, Pearce said. It is possible to enter RAAM through shorter ultracycling races, but this journey was never just about qualifying. Pearce wants to experience something that feels “like a real step towards RAAM”. Pearce said he wants to prove to himself that he really can take on RAAM, and he cannot wait to see so much of the world while doing it. “It’s a great way to see the country, at 18 miles per hour,” Pearce said.

Australian GymCat finds second home at UA BY KARA LIPSON @wildcatsports
Being far from home can be tough for any college student, but having a team that feels like family makes it easier to work hard, keep moving and follow your dreams. With no college sports in Australia, Arizona GymCat Maddi Leydin knew UA was the perfect school for her. “It has a lovely campus, great weather, and I liked the feel of the team here,” the junior said. “I wanted somewhere that could be my home away from home, seeing as it’s so far from Australia, and Arizona and the U of A has definitely become that.” For an athlete whose whole life is gymnastics, getting hurt can potentially stop her from achieving her dreams. Her biggest injury, a fracture to her navicular bone in her foot, resulted in her missing some big meets and having a surgerythat caused her to miss multiple months. “Throughout the comeback process it is always hard to find motivation, but gymnastics is something I love, and I knew I had more to prove, so I persisted and came back stronger a year later and made the World Championship Team,” Leydin said. In 2015, Leydin represented her state and her country on the Australia’s national gymnastics team. She said her greatest experience was wearing green and gold for her team and traveling around the world to compete. She began doing gymnastics when she was 6 years old. By the time she was 10, she was practicing 32 hours a week while also attending school. After going to the World Championships, she decided to take a different path and look into college gymnastics. She committed to Arizona in April of 2016 and started school that fall. “College gymnastics has brought out the best in me. I love the real team aspect of it. The celebrations and support I get from my teammates, coaches and fans is
incredible, the amazing facilities and all the resources we have for managing school and practice. It is something I feel proud to be a part of,” Leydin said. Beyond gymnastics, she is proud of herself for having a good balance of school, practice, social life and family. She said she needs these different outlets to help her deal with stresses of elite and college gymnastics and to help her develop her identity in and out of the gym. Leydin embodies what it means to be a studentathlete, as she was named to the Pac-12 All-Academic First Team 2018, one of just two members of the group from UA. Her 3.94 GPA ranked fifth out of the 12 studentathletes — teammate Courtney Cowles also made the list with a 4.00. Although Leydin said she does miss her family and friends back home, she has great friends out here and a team that feels like family, noting that she feels more independent going to school in the United States. “Figuring things out for myself has been an awesome journey,” she said. “I’ve definitely matured and developed my own identity while being over here for the last three years, and I will most definitely leave here a better person.” According to Leydin, she decided to major in psychology with hopes of pursuing a career in sports psychology. Her goal is to help athletes deal with nerves and mental blocks and balance life, athletics and the stresses that come with being an athlete. On the mats, Leydin has played an important role for the GymCats, as she competed in 10 out of 11 events last season, setting career-best marks on the beam, bars and floor routine. This year, the Australian set a team-high score of 38.475 during UA’s win over No. 12 Cal. “I’m so glad I pursed this path of college gymnastics. It has been an amazing experience to compete all over the U.S with a great team, in front of awesome crowds and for a fantastic school,” Leydin said.

Beach volleyball in top 25 BY JACOB MENUTTI @jacob_menutti
COURTESY STAN LIU | ARIZONA ATHLETICS
SOPHOMORE BROOKE BURLING 31 during the Wildcats’ fall scrimmage against the Grand Canyon Antelopes on Oct. 14, 2017, at Bear Down Beach in Tucson.
The Arizona Wildcats will open up another season of beach volleyball with a preseason ranking of No. 13, according to DiG Magazine, after coming off a 19-10 regular season record in 2018. The squad is led by sixth-year head coach Steve Walker, accompanied by a roster that includes nine returning players, four freshmen and two graduate transfers. The Wildcats’ offense is projected to be led by junior Natalie Anselmo. She is entering the season after posting an individual record of 20-12. The roster is also highlighted by senior Jordan Abalos, who was forced to medical redshirt after missing the 2018 season due to injury. A duo to keep your eyes on this year is Jonny Baham and Brooke Burling. After playing 23 of their 32 matches together with a record of 17-6, the returning pair look to use their chemistry and prove themselves as the anchor of the Sand Cats’ roster. Arizona’s talented freshmen class is headlined by Sarah Blacker, who is an AAU Junior Olympic silver medalist. Dana Parker owns her high school record for career kills (1,224), kills in a season (532), career digs (1,018) and digs in a single season (477).
Jasmine Safar was a member of the World Championship Canadian U19 National Team, and Georgia Kobel is is a twotime high school state champion from Manhattan Beach, Calif. An important matchup for Arizona will be hosting the threetime national champion USC Trojans on March 2. USC finished No. 5 overall last year after being taken down in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. They will begin the year ranked No. 2 overall, according to DiG Magazine. The Wildcats will then be at home against Stanford on March 3. The Cardinal is among the Pac-12’s top teams, coming into the season ranked No. 10. The team’s first true road game will be in Tallahassee, Fla., against Florida State on March 22. FSU finished as the NCAA Tournament runner-up after falling to the UCLA Bruins in the 2018 championship match. The weekend of April 6 will be packed with action, as the Wildcats will travel to Tempe to face Cal Poly and their in-state rival ASU. Cal Poly will certainly be the tougher of the two matchups, as it is coming out of 2018 with a 27-7 record and a preseason ranking of No. 5. The first opportunity for the ‘Cats to showcase their team’s talent will be Feb. 15 at 5:30 p.m. for the team’s annual Red-Blue game at Bear Down Beach. The regular season will then begin at home on Feb. 22, when Arizona will host Colorado Mesa at 12:30 p.m.

OPINION | GOV. SHUTDOWNS
Shutdown should not be seen as an option COLUMN
BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
I
n recent years, Congress has developed a nasty habit of taking previously unthinkable actions and making them into regular tools to be wielded in an attempt to win the attention of the news cycle for a couple of weeks, only to find a newer, unprecedented and equally self-destructive plan that will get them attention. From refusing to raise the debt ceiling to invoking a senate rule previously so unthinkable that it is called the “nuclear option” to shutting down the government, actions that for decades American lawmakers saw as destructive and potential career suicide to even suggest have become commonplace in modern day political discussions. It does not even shock us anymore that our government may occasionally decide to not pay its bills and instead just close its doors for a couple of weeks. Since the way budgeting in the United States was formalized in 1976, the government has shut down 21 times, but of those 21, only seven actually surpassed more than 10 days, with most of them “over the course of a weekend,” according to Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Of the seven that actually lasted more than 10 days, three of them have happened since the 1990s. But most shocking is that within the past five years, we have already seen two, and now that the government has been temporarily reopened to find a new deal both sides have not indicated that anything has actually changed, with Trump promising that a wall will be built, despite Schumer saying directly that “[Democrats] will not support funding for the wall, pro-rated or otherwise.” President Trump put it best when he tweeted, “21 days goes very quickly,” a clue that this short window that Congress has given itself is not a sign that anything will actually be done. So that puts a third government shutdown in five years on the table. This is a rapid turnaround from the idea that a shutdown is one of the most destructive political maneuvers a party can force. When Newt Gingrich and the Republican party shut the government down from Dec. 16 1995 to Jan. 6 1996, American voters turned on them immediately. Once the rising star of American politics who led one of the greatest midterm victories against a sitting president, Newt Gingrich became a political unperson, with his unfavorable rate doubling within a month. By 1998, Republicans lost seats despite it being a midterm election with a Democrat in the White House, and Newt Gingrich was asked to step down as speaker of the House, which he did. Flash forward to 2013 and we are left with a vastly different picture. Congressional leaders could not come together to agree to raise the debt ceiling on money we had already spent and forced our
government shut for 16 days. When the government finally reopened and Americans were able to cast their votes in the 2014 midterm elections over the conduct of their government, they voted to support the party that had shut down the government, giving Republicans a level of control over both chambers that had not been seen in almost a century. And now that discussions over border security seem to be too controversial to even discuss, the government shuts down again, denying 800,000 people paychecks and limiting access to federal parks and resources all across the country. Both Democrats and Republicans are treating government shutdowns like a tool of rallying public opinion and outmaneuvering the opposition, when it is actually a self-destructive and cowardly way of refusing to govern that destroys credibility. Almost a million federal workers went without paychecks for a month and are currently working without the promise of the government staying open long enough to pay them for the hundreds of hours they have worked uncompensated. There was fear that food stamps and many assistance programs would run out of funding before a deal would be passed, parks have been left to their own devices and began losing around $400,000 every day in lost fees, and the federal courts only had enough funding to operate until Jan. 25th, the same day that the government reopened. Had it dragged on any longer, cases without priority would have been delayed and civil cases would have been put on hold. Both Democrats and Republicans are playing with fire if they think that a decision as destructive as shutting down the government is worth the political points they could hypothetically score, so long as the other side chickens out first. Had the shutdown gone on for “years” as President Trump suggested, we would be feeling the effects of a crippled government and all of its agencies for years. University of Tennessee professor and former senior economist for the President’s Council of Economic Advisors Marianne Wanamaker said that the unemployment rate may increase to 4.1 over an extremely short period of time and this shut down only lasted a month. But even longer lasting is the loss of faith in government to effectively govern or even stay open for business and pay its bills. Mayors from across the country have decided to factor in the possibility for future government shutdowns, essentially betting that the government will continue to fracture and that it is up to the lower governments to look out for themselves. That this self-destructive tool to attract attention and divide voters into armed camps is still being seen as a reasonable path forward is a sign that Congress has no interest in actually governing and is instead focused on talking points and divisive policies that get the disinterested out to vote based on emotion alone.

Wilson said he hopes other schools will follow the UA’s lead and set up Title IX departments. In the past, the UA has led other programs, like Step UP!, which were adopted by other universities, according to Wilson. Step UP! is a bystander intervention program designed to help students who have witnessed
situations including alcoholism, depression and sexual assault. The University of Arizona Police Department will be involved in the Title IX department and will continue to have a relationship with Wilson, according to Public Information Officer Sergeant Cindy Spasoff. “We anticipate a collaborative effort for all community members to protect our community together,” Spasoff said. “We believe that this new unit will help protect all members of our community.” According to Wilson, the Department of Education requires every K-12 institution, higher education institution, library and museum to follow all responsibilities under the Title IX amendment. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 means that American universities must maintain an environment without sexual discrimination, harassment or violence. If you or anyone you know has an issue that violates Title IX contact either UAPD or the Title IX department.

NEWS | PRESIDENT’S CONCERT
Four School of Music students take center stage BY QUINCY SINEK @quincymccllelan
The 46th annual President’s Concert took place this past weekend, featuring the Arizona Symphony Orchestra and 2018-19 Concerto Competition winners. The concert was presented by the Fred Fox School of Music and held in Crowder Hall on Friday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 2. The four Concerto Competition winners were student soloists selected from each area of the School of Music: wind and percussion, voice, strings and keyboard. The students competed last November with their choice of song, accompanied by an orchestra. Minjun Dong won with his piano performance of Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor, Op. 23, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which he also performed at the concert. Performances for each soloist are typically limited to 15 minutes, but Dong asked to perform his entire piece, which was around 20 minutes in length, and was allowed. “This piece is one of my favorite pieces,” Dong said. “I starting looking at it when I was a very young age, and I feel happy every time I play it ... This Concerto means a lot, and a lot of people love it, and if I play the first movement without cutting anything, it’s always a good thing.” Dong stated that he had never played with an orchestra before this concert, and was told by his teacher, School of Music professor John Milbauer, to audition for the chance to play that specific piece with the Arizona Symphony Orchestra. Dong competed one morning in late November and found out he was selected later that same day. While he was getting his master’s degree in San Francisco, Dong’s teacher personally recommended him to come to UA and play under the guidance of Milbauer. “I think University of Arizona is meant to be part of my life,” Dong said. “It’s destiny, I guess.” Sean Peter Bresemann, assistant conductor for the Arizona Symphony Orchestra, is in his first year as a doctoral student at UA. This was the first time Bresemann was a part of the President’s Concert. Breseman stated that each instrumentalist in the first round of the competition auditions primarily
for a panel of UA faculty and are then narrowed down to finalists. Finalists then had to perform from memory before a separate panel, where four are selected as the winners. “It was a blast,” Bresemann said. “I thought it was a ton of fun both last night and tonight ... The thing that I’ve noticed at the UA is a really impressive community that wants to come to these concerts, and that is so refreshing and so essential for a quality music program.” Rehearsals for the President’s Concert began just after the new year. Bresemann said there are rehearsals with just the orchestra at first so they can work on the music before bringing in the soloists. Another of the four soloists was Diana Yusupov, a cellist who competed in the string division of the competition. She played Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Cello Concerto in C Major, Op. 37, which was the last solo performance of the night. “It’s exciting. It’s a great honor to play with those many great string players that you have to compete against,” Yusupov said. Yusupov is a doctoral student of music performance at the UA and plans to teach the cello professionally. Ivo Shin, playing the flute, and Erika Burkhart, a soprano singer, were the other two soloists for the concert, performing first and second, respectively. Following Yusupov’s performance of Korngold, Thomas Cockrell, head conductor for the Arizona Symphony Orchestra, took the stage to give a brief history on John Williams, famous conductor and composer, whose overture from the movie “The Cowboys” is what the orchestra ended with. Cockrell also spoke of Williams’ widely known compositions for movies such as “Jaws,” the Star Wars series and “E.T.,” as well as noting Williams’ time at UA taking music classes. Cockrell mentioned the importance of including the sounds of the west in the score for “The Cowboys.” The mooing of cows and the galloping of horses played through the speakers as he spoke, causing laughter in the audience. Cockrell then took his place at the conductor’s podium to finish out the concert with the piece, which was met with a standing ovation from the audience to end the night.

ARTS & LIFE | BOTANICAL RELATIONS
Building connections between plants and art BY ALEXIS RICHARDSON @byalexiscr
The Botanical Relations exhibit, now offered at the University of Arizona Museum of Art, combines botany and art to explore plant life and how we interpret plants through unique lenses. The exhibit was co-curated by UA professors Joela Jacobs and Ursula Schuch, along with Olivia Miller, the curator of exhibitions at UAMA, and will run until March 31. Jacobs, an assistant professor of German studies, will be giving the opening lecture, “Vegetal Eroticism: Imagining our Botanical Relations,” on Feb. 14 at 4 p.m. “Part of what I’m researching [is] that around 1900, for instance, there was this real fear of vegetal eroticism,” Jacobs said. Around this time, Jacobs explained, plants were assigned male and female reproductive organs, and scientists discovered 24 possible reproductive combinations, including plants with other plants, plants with themselves and hermaphrodites. These reproductive methods were considered immoral and “unnatural.” “The people were afraid that students and kids would learn, well, how to have sex in the first place, but how to do it in ways that are not monogamous and not heteronormative,” Jacobs said, explaining the concept behind vegetal eroticism. She said these teachings were censored from schools and literature, as plants were seen as erotic and sensual. Jacobs also founded the Literary and Cultural Plant Studies network, which handles these ideas, the cultural impact of plants and plant agency. When Jacobs shared information about her Network on campus, Miller contacted her about putting together an exhibit about plants, as they tend to be in the background of art. “There’s this phenomenon called ‘plant blindness’ that says we just don’t realize that plants are everywhere, how important plants are, and we kind of ignore them because they are passive, in our view at least. They’re just there,” Jacobs said. In the same period, Jacobs had been in contact with Schuch, a professor in the School of Plant Sciences who was invited to join in this project due to her academic background.

THE BOTANICAL RELATIONS EXHIBIT displays botanical works from many artists, including “Red Canna” by Georgia O’Keeffe. Joela Jacobs, a professor in the UA Department of German Studies, is co-curator of the exhibit, which has an opening reception on Feb. 14.
“The three of us, then, essentially agreed that we were going to do this exhibit looking at how plants are represented in different paintings — it’s primarily paintings,” Schuch said. “There are different things like drawings, one is photography, one is actually using actual media, actual collections from the forest floor.” Miller suggested the use of pieces from the UAMA collection and offered her experience in suggesting some pieces that haven’t been on exhibit or that have not been shown in recent memory. The exhibit showcases several botanical pieces categorized into four themes: vegetal eroticism and violence, individuality and dis/order. Pieces displayed include art from Georgia O’Keeffe and Renoir, as well as pieces from local artists. The beauty of the exhibit extends beyond the pieces selected to best represent the chosen themes, according to Jacobs. With the collaboration of three co-curators, the perspectives of each piece reflect their academic backgrounds, which can be seen in written panels next the paintings. “We wrote labels from each of our perspectives,” Jacobs said. “We wanted to keep that in there, that Ursula … sees
the plant as a specimen and that Olivia sees the piece of art in a different way, of course, than I would.” Schuch explained the labels as looking at the pieces from an art history perspective versus philosophical versus literary or botanical perspectives. “The benefit for me, with this being
really out of my regular professional realm, was that it really made me think about other subject areas and essentially branch out … into different areas. And the arts are very important, I think, for everybody,” Schuch said. The goal of the exhibit is to help visitors re-evaluate how they see plants, our relationship with them and their relationship with each other. There is a hidden history with some plants, which can be seen in the “Violence” section of the exhibit. “[Plants] have sustained us since humans were on this planet, potentially even from an evolutionary standpoint,” said Chelsea Farrar, curator of community engagement. “They sustain us on a daily basis … but most of us are so separate from that production now. We just go to the grocery store or restaurant and order it up, and it comes to us. So … we’re not in a day-to-day interaction with that sustainability of plants.” Farrar’s comment on the exhibit links back to the concept of “plant blindness” explained by Jacobs. The importance of plants and their prominence in daily life is often overlooked. “Through the exhibition, hopefully visitors will walk out and maybe see [the] palm trees, or the lantana, or the cacti that are on campus right as they walk out the front door and see them in a different way,” Farrar said.
