UA leads Pac-12 in awards Presentation from Intercollegiate Athletics Committee recognizes college athletes
BY DAVID MCGLOTHLIN The Daily Wildcat
During its monthly meeting on Monday, the Faculty Senate received a special guest presentation from the UA’s Intercollegiate Athletics Committee in Old Main’s Silver and Sage Room. Lynn Nadel, Faculty Senate
chairman said that “intercollegiate athletics plays an important role in higher education,” which is why he requested an update report from the IAC about its successes and upcoming challenges. The IAC was established in the ’70s due to an NCAA investigation of the football program. The committee was created to provide a monitoring and oversight arm
for the president about anything related to intercollegiate athletics. Nowadays, the committee meets once a month to make policies, discuss issues and is largely credited with the success of the athletics program. “I’m proud of what we are doing,” athletic director Greg Byrne said, “but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to get

The UA Impact Map shows the importance of the UA for the state of Arizona, illustrating an impact that extends further than the perimeters of campus and Tucson. The map is intended to be as user friendly and interactive as possible. When talking about the decision to create the map in this manner, Barrett Baffert, the UA director of digital marketing, said the process was about “taking this robust set of data and identifying bite size points that the user could take in.” The map points are separated into six categories, including learning centers and public attractions. Two of the categories, Agricultural Research Center and Cooperative Extension, are run through the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Shane Burgess, the dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, stressed the map’s importance. “It really makes the university more accessible to the people of Arizona,” Burgess said. CALS has three large agricultural centers in Arizona; Maricopa’s is one of the largest in the country. “[In] all of Arizona, the very few acres that we have in the center of Tucson is a tiny minority of the actual footprint that we … have in the entire state,” Burgess said. Cooperative Extension is another part of CALS that is highlighted on the map. “[Cooperative] Extension was

winners. The second closest school is the University of California Berkeley with seven awards total. Byrne also mentioned the CATS Academics program, a comprehensive support source program designed to assist student-athletes who received the Division 1A Athletics Directors’ “Program of Excellence” lifetime award. “First of all, we want our kids to graduate,” Byrne said. According to the report, 220 student-athletes averaged a 3.0 GPA for the 2013-2014 academic year, which is 43 percent of all student-athletes. There are 86 student-athletes who finished the fall or spring semester with a 4.0 GPA or higher. In addition to these accomplishments, the athletics department has had a positive fund balance consecutively for the last 29 years, according to the report. The department is responsible for the cost of room, board, books and tuition waivers, while maintaining revenue to cover annual operating costs and budgetary obligations. The budget increased from $68.5 million in 2013-2014 to $71.3 million this year. Zero percent of the budget

February. Ben Malisewski, president of Bobcats, said the honorary was founded on Feb. 22, 1922, for the purpose of preserving the unity and welfare of the UA. He said being a Bobcat has taught him more about the value of giving back and has prepared him to be a Wildcat for life. Hall said the application consists of a letter of interest, a resume and two letters of recommendation. She said interviews for the Bobcats will begin just after spring break, and the new class will be announced on April 15 at Evening of Excellence. Members of the Bobcat class are responsible for planning and executing almost everything on the student side of Homecoming,

Malisewski said. Hall said that in addition to Homecoming, the Bobcats have access to unique things normal students probably would not get involved in. “We have Bobcats going with us in two weeks to Phoenix to the capital,” Hall said, “and they are going to sit in on legislative sessions and speak to the state legislators to voice their opinion as a student.” Brielle Lyon, a pre-business sophomore, said she thinks it would be fun to be a part of Bobcats during her senior year at the UA. “I would be interested in getting involved with this honorary to gain leadership experience while creating memories for myself and the students,” Lyon said.

He added that there are no specific requirements or necessary qualities that students must have to become a Bobcat. “It’s about your desire to give back during your final year here on campus,” Malisewski said. “I was not in ASUA; I was never in a previous honorary. Yet, the idea of being a Bobcat, being able to give back to the university, was something that I was still really intrigued by.”

It didn’t take a groundhog to predict six more weeks of winter as the second major storm in a week created near whiteout conditions in much of New England on Monday after dumping more than a foot and a half of snow in the Chicago region and spreading a blanket of thick snow through the Midwest. The storm was expected to bring up to 16 inches of fresh snow to the Boston area, when the precipitation stops on Monday, Groundhog Day, less than 24 hours after the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl. Boston officials on Monday announced that the victory parade would be held on Tuesday, proving that the post office is not the only institution to brave snow, sleet and rain. The latest storm cut a wide swath through the Midwest, bringing 19.3 inches to Chicago, the city’s fifth-largest storm ever. About 2,400 customers remained without power Monday morning, down from the 51,000 who lost electricity when the storm began. Schools in states across the upper tier of the nation were closed. Four deaths related to traffic or shoveling were reported in Ohio, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Detroit reported its largest

snowfall in four decades. The National Weather Service said 16.7 inches fell at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus on Sunday and Monday, the third-largest storm ever and the largest since a 19.3-inch storm in December 1974. A blizzard brought up to three feet of snow to some parts of Massachusetts last week. On Monday, the state planned to work a normal day despite predictions of up to 16 more inches of snow. Schools in many areas including Boston were closed. “We are very concerned about this current storm and its implications,” Mayor Martin J. Walsh said. “Working with city departments and our private partners, we will take every precaution necessary to keep our residents safe. I ask that every Boston resident look out for their neighbor, whether it be in the home next door or on our city’s streets.” Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil reportedly saw his shadow, indicating six more weeks of winter, according to legend. The Weather Service routinely notes that the Groundhog Day test has no predictive value, though it spawned a hit movie and rodent imitators around the country.

UA professor dresses in drag, competes in TV show BY Victoria PEREIRA
The Daily Wildcat
Drag queens from all around are coming to the Rialto Theatre today at 9 p.m. with “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons,” and a UA professor will be competing in the next season of the popular show. Hosted by Bianca Del Rio, the event features some of the public’s favorite drag queens from the past six seasons of the competitive reality show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Included in the lineup are Adore Delano, Alaska 5000, Ivy Winters, Manila Luzon, Phi Phi O’Hara, Raja, Sharon Needles and special musical guest Cary NoKey. If the show is to be anything like shows in the past, audience members are in for a night of performances, laughter and drag queens galore. In previous years, the performing queens were given a few chances to show off their talents that the show typically wouldn’t have time to include, according to an article on www. redesignrevolution.com. Patrick Holt, also known as Tempest DuJour, has taught in the School of Theatre, Film and
Television for 13 years and has a husband and two children. “In the world of drag, there’s a lot of different genres, and I guess you would classify me in the comedy or camp drag,” said Holt, joking that he isn’t expecting anyone to mistake him for a woman when dressed as DuJour. “To me, it’s all about theatricality and over-thetop fun.” Holt said that he has been interested in drag since a young age and attended shows often. It was only over the last eight or nine years that he has begun to do drag regularly. Since then, he has competed in various drag pageants and won several awards as DuJour but explained that the pageant world wasn’t for him. Holt’s ultimate goal was to compete on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” “Getting on the show means that you’ve reached a certain level in the craft,” Holt said. Holt has auditioned several times and got close to making the final cuts for seasons five and six. This year, he finally landed a spot on season seven, breaking the records for tallest contestant at 6 foot 6 inches, oldest contestant at 47, and first
contestant from Arizona. Holt couldn’t say much about his time on the show until the season airs, but he said that the environment was emotionally intense, exciting and stressful at the same time. Holt said the contestants were sequestered away and cut off from all media and outside contact for the duration of filming, so the group became like a small family — only accompanied by the tension that comes along with a competition. Holt is dedicated to his craft and suggested that anyone interested in doing drag should put that same amount of dedication in their work. “A lot of people don’t regard it as a legitimate art form,” he said, “but if you’ve been to a real, great drag show before, it’s amazing.” Tickets for tonight’s live show are on sale at www.rialtotheatre. com. Holt can be seen competing on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on Logo TV on March 2.

“Song of the Sea” is a visually stunning triumph. This animated masterpiece draws the viewer in and immerses them in an enchanted Celtic world. Nominated for this year’s Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, this adventure reinterprets Irish folklore to tell a modern story of loss and love. Directed by Tomm Moore, whose “The Secret of Kells” was Oscarnominated in 2009 for Best Animated Feature Film, “Song of the Sea” is a striking sophomore effort. Moore skillfully mixes the magical with the mundane and the fantastical with the everyday. Not dissimilar to Japan’s Hayao Miyazaki, Moore wields the complexities and poignancy of his culture to produce a tale accessible to all. Set in 1980s Ireland, “Song of the Sea” begins with a trope familiar to many animated children’s films: the death of a parent. This, however, is the only formulaic aspect of the film. Following the tragic and mysterious loss of their mother, siblings Ben and Saoirse live a life devoid of familial warmth. They make their home in a lighthouse off a stony beach somewhere in Ireland with their affectionate but emotionally distant father and their beloved sheepdog, Cu. When supernatural forces enter their lives that result in their removal from their father and home, Ben and Saoirse must work together to set things right. However, peculiar things are afoot, and long-forgotten legends lurk in the background of the plot. Through magic and mysticism, the siblings engage in a wild journey to reclaim their birthright. Rather than the dramatic and sometimes hectic style that dominates the animation industry, “Song of the Sea” subtly enchants in an unadorned fashion. While both whimsical and touching, this loresoaked fiction is startlingly mature and expressive. Though the film’s PG rating would imply a childish plot of youthful abandon, it is anything but. “Song of the Sea” is rife with complex
Big Farm
content and emotions, capable of engaging all ages. The imagery, music and plot need not beg for attention, for they can carry their own weight. The film’s soundtrack possesses a hauntingly beautiful body, which aligns perfectly with the already stunning animation and captivating dialogue. The vibrant visuals are essential. The action removes all concept of “Pixar pizzazz” and replaces it with masterful 2-D watercolor stills. Clean lines coincide with rich textures, which distinctly help set the film apart from others in its genre. The film’s artistic style allows the mystery and wonder of otherworldliness to be conveyed without hyperbole. Bright and lively, fresh but familiar, “Song of the Sea” is a tour de force of animation that weaves delicate threads of sibling malcontent and shared traumas into the tapestry of ancient myths. Moore underlines a connection between worlds, as well as a sense of wonder in the seemingly ordinary. With its genuine human connections, sense of restorative calm and moving Celtic musical score, it’s easy to see why “Song of the Sea” has made its way into the Oscar nominations. It bears a beautiful message that is delivered with soul and graceful visual grandeur. Undeniably, this is a must-see film of 2015.

DUI turns into IOU for senators BY NICK HAVEY
The Daily Wildcat
I
really like to see initiative in public servants, and I’m also a believer of liquid inspiration. So, when these elements combined on Jan. 6 when Kentucky state Sen. Brandon Smith was pulled over for reckless driving and criminal speeding, I was intrigued. DUI is a serious topic. So is the fact that Smith (and his legal counsel) suggested that, pursuant to an 1891 amendment to Kentucky’s state constitution, he could not be arrested and that all charges should be dropped. Smith’s actions revealed a not-so-subtle truth about American government: When you’re in power, you can get away with almost anything. Government officials — especially state and federal senators — shouldn’t just be held to the law but should be expected to rise above it, functioning as beacons of respectable citizenship instead of flashing their IDs to get out of speeding tickets. The debacle concerns an amendment in the Kentucky state constitution — also in the U.S. Constitution and a variety of other states’ constitutions, including Arizona’s — that states “members of the General Assembly shall, in all cases except treason, felony, breach or surety of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance on the sessions of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House they shall not be questioned in any other place.” Smith was caught speeding with a .088 blood alcohol level on the first day of 2015 legislative session. He wasn’t leaving the chambers of the government or any state facility but was returning from what basically sounds like a kickback much later in the evening. The original amendment made sense back in the day (1891, y’all) because it prevented members of the legislature from being stopped by crooked cops or sketchy judiciary members on their way to meetings in order to inhibit quorum or prevent a vote from passing. Nowadays, the amendment seems like an unnecessary oversight and has the potential (as in this case) to be used inappropriately. Smith may have panicked, which is totally fair when someone encounters the police. Good thing Smith is a white male Republican. I’m sure, like Leslie Knope, he’s embraced his status. Knope, the main character in Parks and Recreation, responds to fierce community and constituent opposition by starting to just do whatever the hell she wants. In 2011, Arizona state Sen. Scott Bundgaard was released and not charged after a domestic dispute and altercation with his girlfriend — who was arrested — on the basis of this immunity. In 1988, former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer hit another vehicle on the highway while driving under the influence, and, even though she did not expressly state she was a senator or invoke this privilege, was released because the arresting officers knew she had immunity. This is ironic given what we know in retrospect: Brewer would go on to champion intense DUI legislation. No one was harmed, although there was severe damage to both vehicles, and she was never charged or prosecuted. The constitutional provision, however, says nothing about prosecution postlegislature. ASU constitutional law professor Paul Bender told The Arizona Republic in 2010, “Legislative immunity would not justify them in dropping the charges. … It doesn’t say ‘privileged from prosecution.’” Senators, and other public officials, are representatives of their constituencies and should, therefore, reflect them. According to Senate President Robert Stivers, Senate members have not been separately punished by the body when faced with charges, and the reaction is instead left up to the constituency. The constituency should call for a recall or post-legislation prosecution. In Kentucky, first-time DUI offenders can suffer license suspension, jail time and hefty fines, and those are just the legal consequences. Nonofficial consequences range from job loss to massive insurance hikes and vastly reduced future employability. Should Brewer, Bundgaard and Smith be held accountable for their crimes? I think so. In my experience, the best way to get out of a ticket is to have just left Urgent Care and be violently shaking and throwing up out your driver’s side window (just barely missing the cop as he approaches you). When the officer asks if you’ve been drinking, show him your prescription and then look like you might yack again, this time on him. I’ve never considered running for Senate, but that definitely sounds like an easier alternative.

‘Maze Runner’ health care can kill transgender teens BY TOM JOHNSON
The Daily Wildcat
A
t the end of last year, Leelah Alcorn, a transgender Ohioan in a family who aggressively and abusively denied her gender identity, committed suicide. Shortly after her death, a post published to her Tumblr blog explicitly stated that she took her own life due to this abuse and her inability to be allowed to transition. While there have been many reactions to Leelah’s story — including a proposed national law to ban the abusive conversion therapy that her parents inflicted on her — not many have talked about why she couldn’t transition. However, it is one of the most vital elements of the entire issue.
Alcorn was under the age of 18 and still needed her parents’ permission to start transitioning, according to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s “official” standards of care; though, the parental consent laws vary from state to state. It’s a convoluted system of laws, and that turns out to be a problem for transgender minors’ access to transitionrelated health care. Transitioning is not the quick, single surgery one sees on television. It’s a long procedure involving hormones, multiple surgeries and navigating a labyrinthine gatekeeping process. For example, the aforementioned WPATH standards require patients seeking hormones or surgeries to live as visibly trans for six months, subjecting transgender folk to what writer Mina Carpenter calls “a hazing period of vulnerability, violence and discrimination,” especially
considering the shocking statistics about anti-trans violence and hate crimes. Transgender people are 150 percent more likely to be victimized than other members of the LGBTQ community. Also consider that gender transitioning requires a referral from two doctors. For comparison’s sake, partial lobotomies and electroshock therapy also require two doctors to sign off on the procedure. Totally elective cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, has no such requirement. It goes on and on and gets worse for minors, such as Leelah. It’s obvious that laws mandating parental consent to transition could easily be abused in a transphobic household. But it’s one face of the same dodecadonal, dung-beetle ball that is anti-transgender gatekeeping — enforced by a pathologizing list of “standards” from the WPATH, which
promote misinformation amongst the “progressive” health care workers who rigidly abide by it. Though the WPATH is trying to update its standards, it is still far behind the times. The push for Leelah’s Law is important, but her tragedy must also be a rallying cry for improving access to transgender health care, whether in allowing one to change their gender identity on their state ID without “bottom” surgery, making insurance companies stop discriminating against transgender individuals and transitioning procedures, or allowing minors to transition without parental permission. We know what needs to be done. If we don’t act on these changes, we will be responsible for even more Leelahs.

Pulse of the Pac UW politicizes your Coke habit, Utah reconsiders its smoking policies, Stanford argues about Israel “Fix the world in five minutes or less: Voting without voting,” Devin Edwards Even if you don’t cast a ballot, there is a simple, routine way that you can represent yourself in a country dominated by almighty financial powers. … For instance, Starbucks is rated 80.75 percent Democratic while Chiquita Bananas is 67.5 percent Republican. … Although, obviously it isn’t all that practical to go around scanning every single purchase you make. You’d spend your whole life at the grocery store calculating if you should still buy that Coke — “CocaCola gave $99,800 to Republican PACs and only $90,000 to Democratic PACs last year? I can’t buy this in good conscience anymore.” But for items you buy all the time, like coffee or bananas, it’s worth checking out how companies identify politically. Because sadly, the truth is they have more political power than you. — The Daily, University of Washington

“Student’s Rights to Clean Air Trumps Moral Stigma,” Justin Adams So why hasn’t the U banned smoking? Perhaps because if it were to do so, some would make the argument that a state run school is inappropriately enforcing the moral values of the LDS church, the state’s most dominant religious demographic. Instituting such a policy would maybe feel too much like BYU’s Honor Code, and resembling the school down south in that regard is something few Utes want. The problem is that the desire to not get lung cancer isn’t a Mormon value as much as it is a public health value. UCLA, Cal, Oregon and others in the Pac-12 haven’t banned smoking because it’s against the LDS health code, but because it’s detrimental to the health of their students and anyone who spends time on their campuses. — The Daily Utah Chronicle, University of Utah
“Ethics and efficacy of Israel divestment,” Neil Chaudhary Divestment from businesses that support Israeli discrimination against Palestinians has become one of the most politically charged issues at Stanford. … If the US condemned South Africa’s actions for racial injustice, it is ethically consistent to also condemn Israel’s policies, which constitute a similar system to Apartheid. However, compared to South Africa, divestment and economic sanctions may not be the best solution … in Israel. … Compared to South Africa, the existence of [a] “bunker mentality” might preclude the efficacy of sanctions given that the [state] perceives its very existence to be threatened. Moreover, BDS might fuel a sense of vulnerability and victimhood, strengthening Israel’s commitment to its current policies. — The Stanford Daily, Stanford University

Up the ladder
save the date!
A UA staff member reported a large extending ladder found within an enclosed area that protects the two main gas lines at the College of Medicine — Tucson Heating and Cooling on Jan. 28. The University of Arizona Police Department was contacted due to the location of the ladder. It was found inside the gas area leaning up against the northwest, 10-foot, slump brick wall that has one locked door for access and exit at 1515 N. Cherry Ave. The staff member said that the 15.5-foot telescoping extension ladder is very expensive and that no UA Facilities Management shop uses that kind of ladder to his knowledge. He said the ladder could have been left behind by a contractor, but that was very unlikely. A security camera is mounted on the south wall of the Heating and Cooling Plant, but nothing unusual was seen by the Facilities Management electrician who reviewed the footage when asked by the UA staff member. The Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity house was contacted due to their location south of the ladder, but the president of the house said he knew nothing about any house members trying to get inside the enclosed area. The superintendent of Facilities Management plants arrived at the Heating and Cooling Plant and was advised that the area of the gas lines could use additional security. He said he would look into putting something on top of the brick wall to discourage anyone from trying to jump over it. No Facilities Management shops have reported any missing items or unusual activity. The ladder was placed into property as found property. No criminal violation occurred at this time.

Sniffed out
A UA student was diverted for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia on Jan. 27. The UAPD was contacted by the resident assistant at the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, who could smell marijuana on the fourth floor. UAPD officers were escorted to the fourth floor where they also smelled marijuana. The primary officer smelled the exterior doors of rooms in the hallway until the smell became stronger, stopping at a specific door. One officer knocked on the door, and after three minutes, a man answered. He said he was the resident of the room and provided consent for the officers to enter. A UAPD officer immediately saw a small tan glass pipe with green lines sitting on an air conditioning/heating unit located on the southern portion of the room. The pipe had burned marijuana in its bowl. The student was read his Miranda rights once the officer verified that he was the sole resident of the room. The student said that the pipe was his, and he smoked marijuana in his room approximately an hour prior to the officers’ arrival. He went into his trash can and retrieved a baggie containing a green leafy substance, which the officer recognized as marijuana. All of the paperwork for the student’s diversion to the UA Dean of Students Office was completed.

ON THE SPOT Daily Wildcat: What was the weirdest advice you’ve ever given? Leah Chen: “Drop him like a hot sack of potatoes.” Michael Cortez: “Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it.”
Wildcat to Leah: And who is “he”? LC: My roommate’s ex-boyfriend. … Dumb as a rock. You could hit him with a bag of bricks, and he wouldn’t notice, I swear to God. … He was nice, but, God, you could not carry on a conversation with this idiot. DW: What was the dumbest thing he ever said? LC: It’s not what he said, it’s what he didn’t say. He said something about our other roommate, that, “Oh, she shouldn’t wear certain swimsuits because of the way her body is.” And I was like, “You have no right to tell a woman what she can or cannot wear based on your personal opinion.” And he tried to say, “No, that’s not what I’m saying.” … Don’t do that, that’s not OK. You instigated this with me; you’re about to finish it. You gonna sit down and learn something tonight.
Leah Chen, anthropology junior
DW: Are you like one of those people that gets into feminist arguments at parties? LC: I don’t party very often, but in social gatherings, I totally do. My sister is kind of a raging feminist, which is great, ’cause I am, too. Like, if you’re not a feminist, then I don’t know why you’re here. … I’m like, “Social equality — isn’t that what everyone wants?” … But the feminist stigma is because of misandrists and guys that are against feminism because they benefit so much from the social constructs.
Michael Cortez, junior studying anthropology and linguistics
DW: Have you heard of meninists? LC: I think that’s the dumbest thing ever. ’Cause feminism wants … equality for like all genders, right? … I’m like, you already benefit from the … system. What more do you want? DW (to Michael): Hey, are you a meninist? MC : No, but I’m a humanist. That’s basically I guess both the concepts of meninist and feminist but without the gender attached. DW: On a completely unrelated note, what did you guys think of the halftime show? What was your first reaction to Katy Perry’s outfits? LC: Why? Just why? … My first thought was Katniss, kind of, from District 12. DW (to Michael): Did you see it? MC: No. I was doing homework. DW: For what class? MC: All the classes. DW: Yeah man, Sunday night.

1951: When the original UA Student Union opened. The renovated union By Mike Chesnick In his travels to different schools, Jason Tolliver has seen some impressive student centers. But none can match the unique design, he says, of the University of Arizona’s Student Union Memorial Center. Through its architecture and artifacts, the union’s building honors the USS Arizona and the 1,177 sailors and marines who died when the battleship sank on Dec. 7, 1941, during the Japanese surprise attack of Pearl Harbor. “We model our program and our focus after the USS Arizona,” says Tolliver, director of Arizona Student Unions, who came to UA nearly two years ago from LSU. “Our military ties make the union a very unique place. In terms of history, there are only two bells left from the USS Arizona, one in Pearl Harbor and one here.” Looking north from the UA Mall, the union’s clock tower houses the famous bell, and a large metal sculpture in front of the tower resembles a mast and sail. The bell is rung seven times on the third Wednesday of every month at 12:07 p.m. to honor the fallen and UA achievements. By tradition, it is also rung by the Wildcat Events Board president on the Sunday before Pearl Harbor Day, on the Student Union’s birthday (Nov. 18) and after Wildcat athletic victories (over any team except Arizona schools). The structure of the union represents the battleship, with the bow on the south end and stern on the north end. “The Canyon,” an outdoor walkway between the east and west sides of the building, includes a massive circular stairway intended to mimic the shape of the USS Arizona’s main

Paying tribute to the battleship’s fallen, UA’s Student Union bustles with eateries, lounges and activities gun turret. In this rotunda, water runs to fountain pools, intended to subtly remind people of the waters covering the ship, and anchor chains and rusting steel plates add to the abstract design of the ship’s hull. “My favorite place is down in the rotunda,” Tolliver says. “I fancy myself a singer, without being a singer, and I love the acoustics. You can go down there and start bellowing out songs.” The east wall of “The Canyon” is curved to replicate a silhouette of the ship — and the colors and rocks that make up the wall represent the layers of Arizona’s canyons. North of the canyon, in a traffic circle, stands an 18-foot ship’s mast sculpture by Susan Gamble. Hanging from the diamond-shape Gods’ Eye are 1,177 dog tags with the names of the fallen men. Tags of the 334 survivors hang above the tiled portion of the mast.
Southeast of the rotunda, on the union’s main level 2, is the USS Arizona Lounge, filled with photographs, uniforms and other artifacts from the ship. Heavy brass doors from the Union's original facility built in 1951 serve as the entryways to the lounge, where students can study and visitors can put on headsets and view several video interviews with men who survived the attack. One man on the video, Donald Stratton, is among nine Pearl Harbor survivors still alive today. Now 92, he tells how a fireball engulfed the crew, “burning us real bad,” before he and five other sailors were thrown a rope and muscled their way, hand over hand, about 100 feet over fiery waters to safety. The lounge was dedicated in early 2003, part of the grand opening of the “new” Student Union. Some exhibits are from the old Union, which UA tore down in a $60 million reconstruction project that began in 1999. At the dedication, attended by Navy veterans, Capt. William Christman of the U.S. Navy ROTC spoke of the “long and deep relationship” between “a great ship and a great university,” and how the American people should never forget Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona. “Frankly, it’s a story we don’t tell enough,” echoes Tolliver. The lounge is one of eight spread throughout the four-level, 405,000-square foot Student Union — itself a bustling community Continued on page 33

Steps in the wrong direction BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat
B
y losing both of its road games to Utah and Colorado over the weekend, Arizona women’s basketball took another step back in what has already been a disappointing season. The Wildcats now sit at 1-9 in Pac-12 Conference play, tied with the Utes for dead-last. Just as concerning, all nine conference losses have come by double-digits. In most games, Arizona hasn’t even been competitive. Unless the UA turns things around immediately, the program could be on pace for another finish similar to last season, when the team won just a single Pac-12 game. This year, the Wildcats have greater depth and more all-around talent but lack the attention and execution needed to pull out wins. As has been the case all season, head coach Niya Butts’ team goes into stretches where it looks lost or unenthusiastic on the court. Over the weekend, the recurring theme was getting beat on the glass. In a 14-point defeat to Utah, Arizona was out-rebounded 40-27. It was the same story on Sunday as Colorado won the battle of the boards 45-31. What makes the performances more surprising is that the Wildcats were just coming off their best rebounding effort of the season in

t’s safe to say West Coast basketball runs through teams such as Arizona, Gonzaga and UCLA. One could argue Pac-12 Conference teams like Stanford, Oregon and California are in the second tier, but with a down season from the Pac-12 as a whole, one could also argue there really isn’t enough depth to even have a second tier. When you look at the season standings in the conference, there are more questions than answers. It’s not a stretch to say only three Pac-12 teams will be in NCAA tournament. Arizona is a lock, Utah is a lock and Stanford looks like a safe bet. Other than that, there are a few teams that have a chance to advance to March Madness. Among those teams with at least a chance are Oregon State, UCLA, Washington and Cal. They might have to win the Pac-12 tournament just to make it, but they at least have a sliver of hope, however small that may be. The real issue here is a lack of talent on teams not named Arizona, Utah, UCLA or Stanford. It’s such a far cry from just a few years ago. Heck, even from last season.

ASU easily handles Wildcats BY ZOE WOLKOWITZ The Daily Wildcat
No. 22 Arizona hockey (11-17-3) was swept in the Cactus Cup by the No. 1 ASU hockey team (28-3-1) in a two-game series over the weekend in Tempe. The Sun Devils shutout the Wildcats with a 7-0 victory on Friday night and beat Arizona again 7-2 on Saturday night. ASU currently holds
an eight-game winning streak over Arizona and has won 45 of the last 46 meetings between the two schools. “Against ASU, we were completely outmatched,” Arizona hockey coach Chad Berman said. “Any time you play a team of that caliber, on the road especially, you must execute the details. We made way too many small mistakes that add up quickly. If you give them an inch, they will expose you, which is exactly what we
will take from this weekend. We have the toughest schedule in the country, so we have seen all of the top teams, and none of them compare to the talent and depth that ASU has.” ASU’s Patrick Yudez came into the series with only one goal and no assists this season after suffering from an injury. On Friday night, Yudez netted his first collegiate hat trick against Arizona. Sun Devil sophomore goaltender
Robert Levin recorded his eighth shutout of the season with 14 saves. Levin currently holds a .93 save percentage. Saturday night at Oceanside Ice Arena was senior night for the Sun Devils. Last year’s senior night for ASU was spoiled by an Arizona upset win. Not one Sun Devil would forget that night, either.

Trio of Bat ’Cats look to lead from the infield BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Daily Wildcat
A
new season means new changes for a team that finished with just nine conference wins last year. After finishing last season with a 22-33 overall record, the Arizona baseball team is looking to make changes that will help it vie for a better season. Former second baseman Trent Gilbert was selected in last year’s draft, but second base is now covered by Scott Kingery, who played center field last season. Kingery spent the past summer playing in the Cape Cod Baseball League, where he made the transition from the outfield to second base. According to Arizona head coach Andy Lopez, with Kingery at second, this year’s infield should be one of Arizona’s strengths. “I’ve been very pleased with [Kingery], and I think he’s done a marvelous job,” Lopez said. “He looks really comfortable as a second baseman.” Kingery was originally an infielder before college, and he said going back to the infield has not been a difficult transition for him. “I am a lot more comfortable there right now than I was at the beginning of the year,” Kingery said. “I think it’s really going to help us up in the middle, and we are going to get more range up there and more speed.” With second base filled in, the shortstop and third base positions are set as well. Players who also spent their summers on the Cape will take care of two more infield positions. Kevin Newman will be at shortstop, Bobby Dalbec will be at third and first base is still up for grabs. “There will be some competition going on in first base, but I think it will settle itself out,” Lopez said. The three infielders are keys offensively, as they all finished in the top-five batting averages last season for Arizona. “Offensively, I think we’re top in the country,” Newman said. “Bobby Dalbec is probably one of the best hitters I’ve played with, Kingery’s last year speaks for itself and I expect some good things out of myself. Whoever ends up in first base, I think they will contribute, too.” Newman led the Cape Cod Baseball League in hitting for two years in a row, something that has never been done in the history of the league. Kingery finished with a .312 batting average for the Brewster Whitecaps, and Dalbec led the Orleans
Firebirds with five home runs. “Having us all in the lineup could definitely be a good thing for us,” Kingery said. Production is something the team will be looking for, Newman said, who is one of the players Lopez considers to be the leaders this season. With less than two weeks before the season opener, the battle for first base will continue until game time on Feb. 13. — Follow Rose Aly Valenzuela @RoseAlyVal TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT
MEMBERS OF THE UA men’s basketball team huddle together before their game against Oregon State on Friday in McKale Center. The Pac-12 Conference, as a whole, should have more talent next season when an influx of highly touted recruits hit its campuses.

ARIZONA BASEBALL INFIELDER Scott Kingery makes contact during Arizona’s 6-5 victory over UCLA on April 13 at Hi Corbett Field. Kingery is among a trio of infielders who are expected to take up a bulk of the offensive responsibility this season.
season: Nick Johnson, Aaron Gordon, Spencer Dinwiddie, Kyle Anderson, Jahii Carson, Justin Cobbs, Richard Solomon, Mike Moser, C.J. Wilcox, Jordan Adams and Zach LaVine. For those counting, that’s seven NBA draft picks lost and several premier players for their respective teams. Thus, it’s not surprising to see a drop in production across the board. What’s troubling is the lack of future talent coming into the league to the teams below the top recruiting programs of Arizona and UCLA. Apart from those who signed with Arizona and UCLA, only five players from ESPN’s 2014 100 signed to three different Pac-12 schools. USC and Stanford each signed two players, and Utah signed one. It wasn’t nearly the influx of talent the conference needed after such an outpouring of talent. Thus, the conference is struggling to field talented teams this season and likely will send just three teams to the tournament.
Next season’s expected newcomers will be a bit deeper than this season, though. Washington, USC, Oregon and Oregon State have each signed two ESPN 2015 100 players, and Stanford signed one player. Add those to Arizona’s four signees and UCLA’s two signees, and that’s a pretty solid haul of recruits for a conference. That doesn’t even include top recruits such as Ivan Rabb, Jaylen Brown, Stephen Zimmerman and Caleb Swanigan, who still have Pac-12 schools in consideration. Have a guy like Rabb commit to Cal, Brown commit to UCLA and Arizona get Zimmerman, and boom: Everything is normal again. So, hold tight, folks. This season hasn’t been pretty so far and won’t get much better over the last month or so of the regular season. Just be patient for a year, and Pac-12 basketball will be back at the level it should be at.

ASU senior Liam Norris leads the Sun Devils in scoring with 44 points and is ranked No. 16 in ACHA’s leading scorers. Norris ended his collegiate career with a 130-17-4 record at ASU, which goes down as ASU’s best record in program history. Liam’s younger brother, David Norris, scored his first collegiate hat trick on Saturday night. Two of the goals were assisted from his brother. The Wildcats escaped another shutout loss. In the
second period, Jake Campbell scored his second goal of the season with assists from Alex O’Dea and Dylan Carter to put the Wildcats on the board for the first time all game. “It was a very disappointing loss,” Campbell said. “You can’t win a hockey game giving up seven goals. We are looking to rebound with a good weekend in Colorado.” Captain Shane Gleason netted in the Wildcats’ second goal of the night to end the second period with a score of 6-2. Assists came from John Hogan and Orion Olsen. “This weekend, we really underachieved, not solely because of the scores of the
games but because of the way we failed to execute our systems,” Gleason said. “There is no doubt that we can compete with any team in the nation. We just have to stop having mental lapses and put together a full 60 minutes.” Arizona will travel to Colorado to play two teams in three games. Thursday night will be against No. 18 Colorado, and the weekend will continue with a two-game series against No. 21 Colorado State.

their win against Oregon. Clearly, that effort didn’t carry over on the road. Being a small team with no players taller than 6-foot-1, Arizona is at an innate height disadvantage against taller opponents. However, that’s not an excuse for getting beat on loose balls. No statistic is more telling than point guard Candice Warthen ranking second on the team in rebounds despite being the UA’s shortest player at 5-foot-5. It’s not all about size. Warthen just wants it more. After all, she’s a senior who has suffered through losing season after losing season. Yet more troubling than the lack of intensity is the all-around lack of offensive prowess. Collectively, Arizona holds a .365 field goal shooting percentage and makes just 26 percent of its attempts from outside. It sounds cliché, but a team isn’t going to win if it can’t make its shots. Unlike effort or focus, shooting isn’t something that can be fixed with a tough week

of practice. The Wildcats simply don’t boast an arsenal of players who can shoot the ball with enough consistency. To make up for the lack of jumpers, the UA has done a better job of being aggressive and getting to the charity stripe. That, however, isn’t enough against conference opponents who can light it up from around the court. It also doesn’t help any that Arizona is allowing its opponents to shoot a modest 41 percent. Many of those buckets come off easy layups or put-backs in the paint — another consequence of not rebounding well. With the Wildcats’ postseason hopes all but vanquished, the question now is whether Butts can get her team to play with more poise through the final eight games of the regular season. Ideally, the UA will return home and work out its kinks this week before playing California and Stanford in McKale Center this weekend. However, from what Arizona has shown on the court, that looks unlikely. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher

Q What are the effects
of MDMA and alcohol combined?
“XTC,” “Molly,” or “ecstasy” is a stimulant A. MDMA, with hallucinogenic properties which has gained
a following among some users because of its ability to produce strong feelings of euphoria, emotional openness, and arousal. First created in 1912 as a potential appetite suppressant, it later became a therapeutic medication for the treatment of depression in the 1970’s. However, that practice stopped when studies showed that MDMA was toxic to the brain and damaged cells which released the neurotransmitter, serotonin. Those who combine MDMA with alcohol, often do so to prolong feelings of euphoria and to increase arousal.

Wildcat.
While MDMA may reverse the feeling of sedation induced by alcohol it does not reduce the effects of alcohol on cognitive and motor abilities. And, because both drugs lower inhibitions, when combined, can further promote risky behaviors, such as having unprotected sex or driving under the influence. The risk for hangovers and alcohol poisoning increases because users may feel unimpaired and become at greater risk for dehydration and overconsumption. Additionally, the negative side effects of “crashing” from ecstasy, such as anxiety, depression and trouble sleeping, may also increase when combined with alcohol. The “take-away” is that due to the disconnection between subjective feelings and objective reality, the combination of both drugs could lead to unintended and dangerous drug interactions along with negative consequences. “Good Golly, Miss Molly” was first recorded in 1956 by Little Richard.
