Marijuana study lacks funding BY BRITTNY MEJIA The Daily Wildcat

earlier this month to move forward. But researchers cannot begin work without funding or a permit from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Led by Dr. Sue Sisley of the UA College of Medicine — Phoenix, the study would include 70 veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and would examine how

specific doses of marijuana could be used to control their symptoms. Sisley said she had hoped to begin the study this summer, but the DEA will not grant a permit until there is a designated place to conduct the research and store the supply of medical marijuana provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “The frustrating thing now is

UA student leaders urged the Arizona Board of Regents to approve a proposed guaranteed tuition model at the regents’ tuition hearing Tuesday night. The hearing, which was one of three taking place on the campuses of Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the UA, was held by the regents for the public to discuss the tuition proposals the state universities submitted for the 2014-2015 academic year. The UA’s proposal calls for a 2 percent tuition increase for in-state students and a 5 percent increase for out-of-state students. The proposal would also have the UA begin implementation of a guaranteed tuition plan for new students. An optional plan would be offered to current students. “This [guaranteed tuition plan] was developed with the partnership of our student body leaders and at their request,” said UA president Ann Weaver Hart. Morgan Abraham, an engineering management senior and president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, launched a campaign to rally student support

YALTA is a city in the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine. The UA’s study abroad trip to Yalta was canceled out of concerns for students’ safety due to the unrest in Ukraine.

BY MADISON BRODSKY The Daily Wildcat

For a few UA students, the chance to study abroad has been cut short. The UA Global Initiatives program was planning to send 13 political science majors to Yalta, Ukraine, with UA faculty for the summer, but the program was canceled due to the current crisis there.

Ken Simonds, study abroad coordinator, said the government protests in Ukraine made the region unsafe to send students there for the summer. “We’ve been monitoring the situation more, and [the region] became the focal point of the protest,” Simonds said. “Safety is a priority, and given all the factors occurring this year, we had to

The UA Hillel Foundation will be hosting its annual Holocaust Vigil on the UA Mall this week. The vigil will begin at noon today and continue for 24 hours, until 12:15 p.m. on Thursday. Throughout the vigil, volunteers will be reading out the names of Holocaust victims in 15-minute intervals, and local Holocaust survivors will speak about their experiences. Interactive educational pods will also be set up on the Mall. “It’s a really unique opportunity to get to speak with [the survivors] because they just have incredible stories to share,” said Hannah Crawford, a sociology senior. Crawford, who is on the Wildcat Jewish Student Leaders Team for Hillel, said her role is organizing the Holocaust vigil, which takes the entire year to plan. According to Crawford, the biggest issues when planning it were trying to adjust to the construction changes that took place on the Mall and finding people to fill the overnight shifts to read out the names. Crawford said this year, the Hillel Foundation reached out to the Pride Alliance, an LGBTQ group, for the first time to include it in the event. “Jews weren’t the only victims

participated in the event for many years. Last year, Crane was available to speak to survivors about their reactions to the disturbing photography of Holocaust victims. She has also participated in the reading of the victims’ names. “[Reading the names] is very moving,” Crane said. “You put a name with an individual, and it personalizes one out of 6 million-plus victims, so you think of each victim as an individual … [who] had a life and was killed.” Crane said this vigil holds importance for two reasons. “It’s very significant for … the remaining survivors who were children when they were persecuted,” Crane said. “It honors their suffering and the memory of their families and all the people they lost. But in addition, it’s important for us as a community to remember the significance of a genocide.” Crawford finds value in the awareness the vigil can spread about the Holocaust. “There’s a lot of people who lack education on it, so I see it as much as an education tool as an act of remembrance,” Crawford said.

Protect CatMail from NSA yahoos BY Miki Jennings The Daily Wildcat

n an effort to protect its users’ privacy, Google recently decided to encrypt all information sent through Gmail, including email messages to and from our university CatMail accounts. Google posted on its official blog that “last summer’s revelations” of extensive National Security Agency surveillance led it to amp up security. From now on, Gmail will use an HTTPS-only connection, which will encrypt messages sent or received through the email provider. HTTPS has been optional for Google for a few years now. By switching to a default HTTPS connection, Gmail now protects information that is sent via your cell phone (as well as through laptops and tablets) and even over public Wi-Fi. It’s almost the best thing Google could do right now to increase security for all of its users. Michele Norin, the UA’s Chief Information Officer, agrees. “I think it’s a positive step that they’ve taken,” she said. “I have a personal Gmail account, and I think it helps ensure the privacy of the folks using the system. For the average user, that is a positive thing because most of us are pretty mobile.” Gmail’s switch to HTTPS-only makes me feel better about the information I send online. However, there are still holes in the grand scheme of Internet privacy. Google has been using user content to better target ads. This means that it obviously still has access to user information despite the encryption, though outsiders may not. And, unfortunately, email sent to or from a non-Gmail provider, like Hotmail or Yahoo, will not automatically be encrypted on the other end, because other companies aren’t all switching to HTTPS. But encryption does slow down third-party access: The NSA can only search through messages and other information from email providers with permission, based on reasonable suspicion that a person in question is involved with a terrorist group. Google’s HTTPS-only default therefore keeps the NSA from pulling information from Gmail without a legitimate reason, at least through the methods that Google anticipates. Not all email providers seem as committed to protecting privacy. Although Microsoft has criticized the NSA’s spying in the past, it has — rather hypocritically — admitted to breaking into users’ Hotmail information. To stop a software leak in 2012, Microsoft accessed a blogger’s Hotmail account and instant messages. Instead of going through the channels to seek a warrant, it decided to rifle through what it deemed as its property, since it provided the mode of communication in the first place. Microsoft got approval from the company’s lawyers to carry out its search, but that’s not enough justification. The company argued that a user tacitly agrees to potential “review,” or invasion of privacy, in exchange for use of its email and instant messaging systems. After being criticized for its decisions, Microsoft recently announced that it will change its policies about accessing user information in the future. Still, it’s been more than a decade since I’ve had an account, and Microsoft’s mindset definitely makes me think twice about using Hotmail again. We have no way of knowing what kind of relationship Google and the NSA really have, or whether Google is more motivated by the desire to protect its own privacy and autonomy than our own. But default encryption is a million times better than Microsoft’s current selective advocacy for personal privacy. In the end, personal security is a personal responsibility. If you care about privacy, it’s important to be smart about what services you use and to know how your information is used by those services. If you don’t agree with a company’s policy, avoid giving it your information. For optimal security, Google should continue working toward more transparency for customers and less for the NSA, but we should also take charge of protecting ourselves, and exercise caution — even if we’re only sending out something as silly as cat pictures.

Mammograms: Keep abreast BY Maura Higgs The Daily Wildcat

want to go to medical school, which means I have to take a whole bunch of classes as prerequisites just to apply at some point. The worst part of all of those pre-med classes is realizing how hard it is to be perfectly healthy. It doesn’t matter if you eat healthy foods and exercise regularly: Your body is complex, and things go wrong all the time. So we try to know what we’re at risk for. We find out what runs in the family. We see various doctors annually. We become hypochondriacs and type our symptoms into WebMD and convince ourselves we have a brain tumor and we’re going to die next week. The idea of cancer often leads people to take proactive steps. For women, one of these steps is clinical breast exams every three years starting in their 20s. The Young Survival Coalition found that about 15 percent of all of the cancer diagnoses for people between the ages of 15 to 39 in the U.S. were breast cancer — which tends to be much more aggressive in younger victims. Mammograms are recommended for women 40 and older once a year, but they are often the next step for women of any age when they are believed to be at risk. I try to be aware of my family’s history of

Your Views From “Newly elected ASUA president talks plans for next year” (by Stephanie Casanova, March 23) So what is ASUA going to do with all of this “student feedback”?

What matters is how you perceive and treat yourself and others. Ignore the pundits, Shelby, and create your own list. How are the schools, the degrees, the outcomes “different from” each other? How do the subsequent careers promote personal wellbeing and world peace? Those are the lists worth comparing. — UA Alum ’00 From “Skepticism aimed at GMOs not warranted” (by Jesus Luna Tarazon, March 25) The truth is that there is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMO foods, and

The study’s problems are just a reminder to be selfeducated on personal health care. The truth is that mammograms and cancer screenings save lives. The American Cancer Society released an article saying that the death rates in women with breast cancer were 29 percent lower when they had received mammograms. Mammograms help doctors catch and treat the cancer early, not allowing it to spread and cause even more damage. We should always be working toward better ways of detecting cancer early. But until we have another method, I plan on having mammograms. While you should consider your family’s history and your own health when deciding whether to get a mammogram, remember that one study is a lot to risk your well-being on. Since mammograms pose little to no danger themselves, why not take that extra little step to make sure you’re OK? I already see my gynecologist once a year and give myself breast exams. If I ever feel something I know wasn’t there before, I can always schedule an appointment with my gynecologist. UA students can schedule one through Campus Health Service’s Women’s Health department. It’s better to be safe than sorry — especially when it comes to health.

breast cancer and do what I can now, while also preparing to watch my health in the future. Unfortunately, some think that mammograms may not be the way to do this. The Canadian National Breast Screening Study followed almost 90,000 women from the ages of 40 to 59 for over 25 years in Canada. The women were put into groups of those who got annual mammogram tests and those who didn’t. Then, the study recorded and compared the numbers of deaths of those women from breast cancer. The overall conclusion? That mammograms don’t actually reduce the number of deaths due to breast cancer in basically any age group. The study has received some support, even from organizations like the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the American Cancer Society. Because of the study, they are both considering loosening their mammogram guidelines. But others have the right idea. The American College of Radiology and Society of Breast Imaging found the study to be misleading and inherently flawed. Part of their doubt arose from finding that women who already had lumps or even swollen lymph nodes were placed into the mammogram group, undermining the randomization of the study. The radiologists even said that the mammograms provided during the study were low quality. This makes me incredibly wary of the guidelines given to me by doctors, or even the government, for cancer screenings. I want to stay safe and healthy for my entire life, so I won’t trust guidelines based on a study that people are finding problems with.

the government has never performed or required any safety testing of GMO foods. The industry funds its own research to prove GMOs are safe while aggressively discrediting any independent research challenging that belief. Worldwide, nearly 300 scientists and doctors, including the developer of the first commercialized GM crop, have signed on to a recent statement citing serious safety concerns with GMOs. (Google GMO safety consensus ENSSER.) The author’s assertion that “the world needs GMOs” as if that’s somehow a reason to ignore the documented health risks, is a common industry red-herring argument. The fact is that GMO crops have not been shown to increase yields. See the report “Failure to Yield” from the Union of Concerned Scientists. All people are asking for is one line of text on food packaging so that all people can make an informed choice about what they’re eating and what they’re feeding their families. — Martin Dagoberto

Martin, one line of text on our food isn’t going to help anyone make an informed decision. In fact, quite the opposite when you consider that just about everything we eat has been genetically modified via artificial selection. Humans have been doing this for thousands of years. The label GMO movement isn’t any different than the antivaccine [movement], the global warming deniers or the creationists pushing their anti-science views. A label will not educate anyone, but instead cause unnecessary paranoia and fear of something people do not understand. When the anti-GMO concerns are scrutinized, it always comes down to being against pesticides or hate of Monsanto. No one wants to eat pesticides, of course, and criticism of Monsanto may be justified. While Monsanto may use questionable pesticides on its GM crops, GMOs themselves are not pesticides. And pesticides are also used in organic farming. So why limit your concern of pesticides to GMOs? — Sven (in response to Martin Dagoberto)

Monkeying around

University of Arizona Police Department officers were called to the Psychology building Animal Care facility on March 21 when a suspicious man who claimed to be a previous employee wanted to say hello to the monkeys. A psychology department staff member spoke to the man, who identified himself as Bruce Sterling,, outside of Room 136 at around 10:30 a.m. The man told the staff member that he had been an employee during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The staff member then called UAPD. Officers made an initial investigation, but there was no sign of the man. The UA Animal Care Instruction Specialist Senior was contacted. She could not find any history of an employee named Bruce Sterling. The man’s description and alias were forwarded to all Animal Care employees. Officials conducted an online search for Bruce Sterling and any affiliations the name might have to the UA. No results were found. The UA Human Resources department was contacted to confirm Bruce Sterling’s employment between 1965 and 1975. No records prior to 1991 were found.

A non-UA affiliated man was transported to a mental treatment facility on March 20, after UAPD was contacted about a man swinging a metal object around in the Anthropology building. A staff member of the anthropology department reported a man who was swinging and throwing a metal object in Administration room 210 around 8:30 a.m. A UAPD officer noticed a man matching the description near the Arizona State Museum. The man was taking off his pants and seemed to be intoxicated. The man told the officer that he was taking medication for mental health issues. After searching his backpack, the officer found a 5-inch piece of brass tubing. “It makes a cool noise when you hit it on stuff,” the man said. He also told the officer that he was in the Anthropology building to look at fossils. After the officer talked to him, the man ran through the grass and began running and stretching in the middle of the road. The information returned from dispatch showed that he hadan outstanding warrant from the city of Show Low, Ariz. The man was transported to the Crisis Response Center and filed for emergency admission for evaluation.

UA center helps prisoners put pen to page BY Kevin Reagan The Daily Wildcat

In 1970, UA English professor Richard Shelton receives a letter from a man looking for tips on how to improve his poetry. The letter is signed Charles H. Schmid, a convicted serial killer serving time at the Arizona state prison in Florence. Notoriously nicknamed Tucson’s “Pied Piper,” Schmid was charged for the murder of three teenage girls in the 1960s. Despite this, Shelton agrees to help the troubled writer. Four decades later, those initial writing workshops with Schmid have evolved into an ongoing curriculum for the inmates of Arizona’s prison system. Typically meeting on a weekly basis, Shelton and his team of trained instructors journey behind bars to allow the imprisoned an opportunity to express their creativity.

“There’s a very close connection with writing and finding inner-self,” said Erec Toso, a senior lecturer of the UA English department. Toso is a protégé of Shelton’s and currently makes Saturday visits to the Arizona State Prison. Toso took over the program full-time in 2008 when Shelton’s security clearance for Arizona State Prison was revoked. Shelton continues to teach inmates at the federal penitentiary in south Tucson. Toso describes this writing program as serving like an antidote to the dehumanizing effect prison life has on the soul. The various pieces of poetry and prose drafted by the prisoners are edited and published in the annual journal Rain Shadow Review. Prostitutes, poverty and politics are just a few topics that these prison writers explore through their work. Some poems published in the

journal’s most recent volume bear titles such as “Death Walk” and “The Gray Wall.” It’s apparent that the prisoners turn to their bleak surroundings for artistic inspiration. Toso says that he has a waiting list of at least 50 men wanting to enroll in his workshops. Toso took part in a paneled discussion at the 2014 Tucson Festival of Books to share the impact of Shelton’s prison writing program. Joined by Thomas Cobb, a former instructor of the program, and Ken Lamberton, the managing editor of Rain Shadow Review, the three panelists recounted their experiences of working on the other side of the barbed wire. “It’s one of the places I really learned how to teach,” said Cobb, author of the novel “Crazy Heart.” Cobb said that redemption is a reoccurring theme in his work because of the time he spent with his incarcerated students.

‘Lean In’ inspiration for dialogue on inequality BY Christianna Silva The Daily Wildcat

Today, UA Aspiring Women Professionals will hold a discussion pertaining to the challenges professional women face. It will focus on the book “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” written by Sheryl Sandberg. According to its co-founder and vice president, Cassandra Ott, the club UA Aspiring Women Professionals strives to provide women at the UA with opportunities to connect with and learn from both each other and women professionals. Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook. She is the first woman to serve on Facebook’s board of directors, and prior to her time at Facebook, she was the vice president of Global Online Sales and Operations at Google. Sandberg also

founded the nonprofit organization LeanIn. Org, which has been in the news recently with its campaign to “Ban Bossy.” Beyoncé may be the most prominent supporter of the movement, which encourages young women and girls to lead without the fear of being labeled as bossy. Sandberg herself has a great deal to say about gender inequality in the workforce, which she outlines in “Lean In.” The book has been a source of controversy ever since its publication in March 2013. “Lean In” continues to stay controversial, Ott said, because it forces readers to question gender inequalities in the workplace, and why they might persist well into the 21st century. “Although women entered the workforce long ago … the idea of women having a career is still fairly new in our culture,” Ott said, “let alone the idea of a woman having

“I could deal with the prison yards, but being in one of those workshops was hard,” said Lamberton, who was first introduced to the program while serving time in the late 1980s. Lamberton recalls a writing exercise Shelton taught that forced the inmates to write down all the words used to describe a red brick, and then instructed them to write a poem about the brick without using any of the words just listed. “[Shelton] was giving us a voice,” said Lamberton, “and training us how to use that voice.” Lamberton now writes books about natural history. In the essay “Teacher of Stones,” Lamberton writes about Shelton’s tough teaching style with his prison students. Shelton chooses to teach with sharp slabs of criticism instead of cushions of kindness, as he thinks it would be an insult to those who have had to survive the harsh realities of society.

The writing program is funded through Lannan Foundation grants, which are administered through the UA Poetry Center. The foundation has donated more than 1,000 books to the various prisons of Southern Arizona. Free copies of the most recent issue of Rain Shadow Review can be found at the Poetry Center. Schmid, the inmate partly responsible for starting it all, died not long after his request was fulfilled — he was murdered by two fellow prisoners in 1975. But the program continued to grow, and since its inception more than 40 years ago, Shelton’s writing program has taught thousands of prisoners in Arizona.

both a career and a family.” Ott and Sandberg say that there is no obvious solution and the problem will not disappear until the playing field is leveled, both socially and economically. “Regardless of their major, the average UA student will move into the workforce sooner rather than later,” Ott said. “Personally, I think it’s important that every student recognize aspects of the environment they enter in order to decide whether it’s the right one for them or not; gender equality issues could possibly fall into that.” The book discussion will be held in the Student Union Memorial Center in the Sabino Room from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and admission will be free. The discussion is meant to be accessible to everyone, not just those who have read “Lean In.” The UA Aspiring Women Professionals club has three more meetings this semester, according to Ott, and is still open to new members from all majors.

Pac-12 power rankings: Ducks dominate

savannah douglas/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona freshman infielder Bobby Dalbec (3) tries to tag out Washington State redshirt sophomore outfielder Ben Roberts (11) during Arizona’s win against Washington State at Hi Corbett Field on March 14. The Wildcats won their Pac-12 opener but slumped to 1-5 to start conference play, and fell to the bottom of the league after two weekends of play.

BY joey putrelo The Daily Wildcat

1. No. 7 Oregon (17-5, 5-1 Pac12 Conference)

The Ducks continue to fly high, and just became the first-place team in the conference. They’ve won eight of their last 10 games, including a sweep over Ohio State (15-7), taking two of three from USC. They just recently swept Utah as well. Oregon also has the best weekend starters of the Pac-12 in Matt Krook (2-1), Jeff Gold (6-0) and Tommy Thorpe (3-2), who all have ERAs of 2.23 or less in six starts each.

2. No. 8 Oregon State (19-5, 4-2) Pitchers just can’t seem to buy an out from Beavers junior outfielder

Michael Conforto. In 24 games, he’s 28-for-75 (.373) at the plate with a homer and 30 runs batted in. OSU may have just lost a threegame series to ASU, but it’s still the second-strongest team in the Pac12 right now.

championship-winning team they were a year ago. UCLA is 1-3 this season against teams that are currently ranked in the NCBWA, but it has performed well so far in conference play.

3. Washington (16-5-1, 5-1)

The Sun Devils are coming off of a huge series win against a very tough Oregon State team in Corvallis, Ore. While ASU has shown a lot of inconsistency so far in 2014, it always seems to find its way in the end.

After a slow start to their season, the Huskies have found their groove. As they’re victorious in nine of their last 10 games and coming off of a series win against ASU and a sweep over Arizona, don’t expect UW to be unranked for much longer.

4. No. 14 UCLA (14-8, 5-1)

Overrated? Probably not, but the Bruins still have a ways to go before becoming the national

5. ASU (12-10, 3-3)

6. California (11-12, 0-3)

Sure, the Golden Bears are only playing .500 ball right now, but they’ve played a tough schedule compared to most of the other teams in their conference. In the

Tiger Classic, Cal shut out No. 25 Auburn (17-8) and East Tennessee State (11-12).

7. USC (12-10, 3-3)

That 7-0 start seems to be just a sweet memory these days for the Trojans. Now that the schedule has become tougher, USC has struggled and is 4-6 in its previous 10 contests.

8. Stanford (8-10, 1-2)

Most of the time, the pitching staff is able to keep the Cardinal in games. But when it can’t, the offense has struggled to provide. We’ll see what this team is really made of now, entering the thick of its conference play.

9. Arizona (11-15, 1-5)

It was a spring break to forget for Arizona after going 1-6 and recently being swept by Washington. With shaky pitching beyond Friday and Saturday night, the main reason to believe in the UA is that it is coached by the best of the best in Andy Lopez.

10. Utah (9-13, 0-6)

Utah looks like it’ll be the punching bag of the Pac-12 after being swept by Oregon State and Oregon. With a team batting average of .228, things won’t get any better for the Utes if they can’t start hitting. — Follow Joey Putrelo @JoeyPutrelo

Gymcats have struggled, going 24-for-24 and finishing well at every rotation. “We have had a hard time putting it together on the road,” Ryden said. “I feel like we are going in the right direction, so if we can keep building off that momentum, certainly that will help us going into the regional.” The Gymcats have savannah douglas/The Daily Wildcat competed against LSU and Junior all-around Kristin Klarenbach was recently named Second Stanford this season in a Team All-America on the floor.

players with a batting average above .300. The difficulties begin when there are runners on scoring positions. “When we have runners on second, we have to stop striking out,” freshman first baseman Bobby Dalbec said. “As a team, we’re too selective at the plate.” The team uses its batting practices to work on ways to score when runners are in scoring positions. Ramer said they have been practicing two-out situations with runners on second and third. “Ever since the loss against Washington State, we’ve been trying to pull something together,” Ramer said. “We know we have to get real hot real soon, because even if it’s early, we’re still in the Pac play.” Working on the offense and trying to get his players to execute is not the only thing head coach Andy Lopez does. On a daily basis, Lopez reminds his team about the importance of these games. “[Lopez] tells us it’s the Pac and every team is good, and we can’t afford to be losing series or

even getting swept,” Ramer said. “[Lopez] says we need to come out and compete and win these games.” ASU will be back in action after winning its series against Oregon State during the past weekend. The Sun Devils lost the first game of the series but were able to bounce back in the second game, going into an extra inning and closing the series with a 7-3 win. The Wildcats’ matchup with the Sun Devils will be a nonconference game. Arizona’s Pac-12 series against ASU will be at home in April. Like Arizona, ASU (12-10, 3-3) lost a series against Washington. Due to the rivalry between the two Pac-12 Arizona teams, the Wildcats plan to enhance the intensity that they’ve been missing from now on. “We get fired up before every game, but from what I hear, it’s always different when we face Arizona State,” Dalbec said. “We go into every game knowing we can win, and sometimes we get down and stay down. We need to work on our intensity and pick it up for when we face Arizona State.” — Follow Rose Aly Valenzuela @RoseAlyVal

REBECCA MARIE SASNETT/THE DAILY WILDCAT

FRESHMAN FORWARD Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (23) reacts to a foul called on freshman forward Aaron Gordon during the second half of Arizona’s 84-61 win against Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament in San Diego on Sunday. The blowout came almost a year after Hollis-Jefferson’s high school team had its 61-game winning streak snapped.

ondae Hollis-Jefferson smiles — a lot. But sitting at his locker inside Viejas Arena in San Diego on Sunday, the 19-year-old freshman’s ear-to-ear smile quickly turned to wide-eyed fright. Hollis-Jefferson didn’t even have a chance to take his shoes off before media members swarmed following Arizona’s 8461 pummeling of Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament. “This is crazy,” he later said. “This being my first NCAA [Tournament] appearance, it’s a great feeling. I’m just happy.” It’s quite a different feeling than he had exactly one year ago. On March 23, 2013, HollisJefferson, a then-senior at Chester High School in Chester, Pa., and his team lost the PIAA division AAAA high school basketball state championship game 63-47 to Lower Merion high school.

What he’s done since The loss ended a 61-game the beginning of the NCAA winning streak and Chester’s Tournament has given him a two-year reign as state reason to smile brightly. champions.

“We ran into a buzz saw tonight,” Gonzaga head coach Mark Few said, describing Sunday’s game. “That is an excellent basketball team.” Hollis-Jefferson playing like a buzz saw is nothing new or special. Teammates say his relentless tenacity game in and game out has become what they expect from him, just like his smile. When the reporters and cameras finally got out of his grill Sunday night, HollisJefferson was finally able to take his shoes off, stretch, shower off and prepare for the next battle. Just like he had done one year ago to the day. “This win definitely makes up for it,” Hollis-Jefferson said with a huge grin on his face. “But like the championship game, it’s in the past, and now we have to focus on the next one.”

Struggling UA faces rival BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona baseball team brings a six-game losing streak into Tempe, Ariz., as it takes on ASU for the first of the five Territorial Cup Series games on Wednesday. The first pitch of the game is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Packard Stadium and will be on the Pac-12 Networks. Arizona (11-15, 1-5 Pac-12 Conference) began its Pac-12 play on March 14 against Washington State, and lost the series. Grand Canyon visited Tucson on March 18 and beat the Wildcats. Washington then swept the UA in a three-game series in Seattle. Sophomore third baseman Cody Ramer said the Wildcats put aside the losses and regained their confidence. “We need to come together as a whole like we did when we played Mississippi State,” Ramer said. “That’s how we know we can compete with anyone in the nation.” Arizona beat then-No. 10 Mississippi 12-3 on March 7 after getting swept in a three-game series against Seton Hall and a two-game series against Long Beach State. Ramer said the Wildcats can get back on track by executing like they did against MSU. The UA currently has six

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA SOPHOMORE INFIELDER Cody Ramer said he thinks the Wildcats can end their six-game losing skid if they play as they did against Mississippi State.

No. 21 Arizona gymnastics will travel to Baton Rouge, La., for the Baton Rouge Regional on April 5 at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. This is the 28th consecutive year the Gymcats have made it to regionals. “We always want to be considered a top-notch, top-20 program, and continually getting into the postseason is a part of it,” head coach Bill Ryden said. “I’m very proud of the fact that we are able to sustain this high level of athletics for all of these years, because certainly we have no plan on stopping.” After their sixth-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships, the Gymcats are the fourth seed for regionals and will compete against No. 3 LSU, No. 10 Stanford, No. 13 Auburn, Kent State and Iowa State. “We really want to make it to nationals, and I think we can definitely do it,” sophomore Shelby Edwards said. “Our team is talented and everything that we need is there; we just have to do it the day of the meet.” Throughout the season, the
