The importance of First Friday Shorts for students
T
he Loft Cinema is Tucson’s very own art house — a gem for general movie-goers and local cinephiles alike. The location was home to a Mormon temple, graduated to a pornography theater and now stands as the best movie theater in Tucson after being purchased by The Tucson Cinema Foundation. Along with its monthly Rocky Horror Picture Show series and cult classics screenings, First Friday Shorts are a favorite among both filmmakers and film-lovers. Regarded as “the most fun you can have in Tucson with your clothes on” by eventgoers, the event is a competitive, interactive event ruled by two entities: the audience and a gong. Unlike the usual movie-going experience, audience members are encouraged to boo
lack thereof, behind their project. Some are endearing, thoughtful and heartfelt. Others may be as brief as “something dumb I threw together with my buddies last weekend,” but the intention of the picture does not tend to sway the audience either way in regard to their expressed enjoyment or distaste. Last week’s event showcased a variety of genres. From music videos to scripted fiction films and animated shorts, there was something for everybody to love (or hate). The one thing that shone through in every featured piece was a desire to entertain. That, paired with the viewers’ passion for local art, filled the venue with applause, laughter and lighthearted heckling. At the show’s conclusion and after the large poster-board check is awarded, creators and connoisseurs have the chance to mingle and recap on their favorite bits from the night. Among the hustle and bustle, I was able to overhear compliments and criticism exchanged in the theater on my way out. The crowd was buzzing with love for the local film scene, making it obvious to me exactly how much this event means to the community.

Student filmmakers are also a large part of the monthly turnout. What First Friday Shorts means to Tucson natives also rings true to the student creators that come from all over to pursue their cinematic passions. In talking to a few of my University of Arizona School of Theater, Film and Television peers that were in attendance that night, it was clear how much the chance to present their work to a beadyeyed audience meant to them. For student filmmakers, it’s a rare opportunity to see your work on the big screen — even if they end up getting gonged. The communal theatrical viewing experience offered to those who may not otherwise be able to witness their films on such a large scale is what keeps submission rolling in every first Friday. The sense of community and playful atmosphere is just another facet of Tucson’s unique and abundant art scene. The Loft is truly a major proponent of what keeps this magic alive.

or cheer on shorts freely. The rules are simple: Each film gets a three-minute grace period to play without interruptions from the crowd. If you are enjoying what is on the screen, you can yell “let it play” to keep it running. If not, “boos” pressure the hosts to bang the gong and cut the screening entirely. At the end of all 15 screenings, the audience votes for a winner. The winning filmmaker receives a $200 check and will go on to compete for the end of the year prize of $1,000, according to the Loft Cinema website. Simple enough, right? I have gone to a handful of First Friday Shorts events in the three years I have lived in Tucson, and every Friday is packed with the same energetic, eager-to-participate crowd. Friends, family, couples and sologoers line up to grab popcorn and a hard kombucha before congregating in their group’s personal cheering section. Last Friday’s event was much of the same zestful atmosphere. Hands down, my favorite part of attending the monthly contest is the passion exuded from every person in the room.

Wildcats pitching staff ready for fresh start BY ARI KOSLOW @Koslow_ari
“I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who knows more about pitching than him.” Those were the words of sophomore pitcher Quinn Flanagan when asked about working with new pitching coach Nate Yeskie. “He does a really good job personalizing each guy’s program,” Flanagan said. “One thing might work for one guy and another thing might work for another guy, so he does a good job of getting to know each pitcher’s skill set.” This seems to be the consensus for the Wildcats this offseason, who are motivated to get back to the NCAA Tournament after a two-year absence. The path back starts with the overhaul of the pitching staff that struggled mightily all last season and will be a key factor in whether Arizona is able to reach the postseason for the first time since 2017. This overhaul begins with this incoming freshman class, which will see several pitchers make an immediate impact at Hi Corbett Field this season. “There’s certainly going to be some,” head coach Jay Johnson said when asked how many of these freshman pitchers we can expect to make an impact on the mound this season. “I think when you look at the offset with Dawson Netz, Chandler Murphy — Wesley Scott has tremendous stuff as well. I think those three will help; how quickly they do it will be how they learn to stay in their plan of what makes them successful and keep the game the same and slow.” Johnson reiterated that it isn’t just about these freshmen, but rather their competitiveness, ability to slow the game down and using the rest of the team to help them be successful. The pitching staff knows what the offense did last year and realize what they need to do to be successful playing with one of the best offenses in the country. “I mean, coach Yeskie was brought in at the very beginning of the year,” Flanagan said. “He kind of put some emphasis on, ‘It doesn’t really matter what’s going on offensively. We’re going to try to be the best pitching staff we can be. If we stay with that, it doesn’t matter if our offense is scoring ten runs
a game. We want to give up zero.’” The biggest name to keep an eye on this season for this Wildcats pitching staff will be senior Vince Vannelle. “Pitch important innings when the game is in the balance,” Johnson said when asked what he envisions Vannelle’s role will be this season. “He could end up starting at times, could end up being in in the fifth inning where we need to swing the momentum, because he pitches with great tempo, great strike zone pressure and he can change speeds and has legitimate out pitches as weapons.” Johnson later said he believes the team plays better when Vannelle is on the mound. He also hinted toward the senior closing out some games at the end of the season. “I mean, every inning is important,” Vannelle said. “You saw last year, anything can happen, but, like, this year we definitely feel like no matter what, we’re leaving it all on the table. We’re going to go and compete every out and every pitch.” Vannelle appeared in 26 games last season, making one start as he pitched to a 3.47 ERA with 2 saves and 27 strikeouts across 36 1/3 innings. He finished the year on a high note, posting a 2.08 ERA across his final eight appearances, and looks to carry that momentum into this season, as Johnson looks to rely on him in different situations throughout the season. “I’ve discussed with coach Yeskie and coach Johnson that I will probably be used in different situations this year that he feels that the team needs and I’m all for it,” Vannelle said at Tuesday’s media day. “I literally told them I don’t care as long as we win games. If we need somebody to start on a Sunday or Monday, I’ll be in there. If you need somebody to close out a game or if you need somebody in the fourth or fifth inning when something happens, I’m all for it.” Vannelle was the only pitcher to record an ERA under 4.50 last season. He pitched three-plus innings in three separate occasions last season and is ready to pitch as many innings as he needs to pitch to help this ball club win. “Most of the issues that came last year with, let’s say, high pitch counts and three or four innings was because I was struggling to get lefty’s out earlier

in counts because I would usually just attack them with my fastball and curveball,” Vannelle said. “Coach Yeskie has really helped me with my changeup and really softening it up to hitters and just trying to really locate it rather than trying to, like, throw the best pitch that I can. It’s all about locating and getting hitters off their timing. That’s really it.” Despite being one of four seniors on this University of Arizona roster and
one of the most experienced pitchers on this Wildcats pitching staff, Vannelle still understands he has room for improvement. “It’s definitely been useful in the fall and I’m constantly working to get everything better,” Vannelle said. “Anything they ask me, I’ll gladly do it.”

UA makes 2020 Forbes list for employer diversity BY CIARA JEAN @ciara__jean
On Jan. 21, the University of Arizona was ranked No. 241 out of 500 companies with over 1,000 employees on Forbes’ third annual list of “America’s Best Employers for Diversity.” There were only four businesses from Arizona and only 25 universities that made the list. “I think we are on the path to having a broader diversity,” said Diane Brennan, assistant vice president of Human Resources at the UA. “While we are excited to have had this acknowledgment, I think it is probably a reflection of people paying attention to [diversity]. Our leaders are committed to making sure we have a more diverse workforce, a more diverse leadership, making sure that we continue to grow that and have opportunities for people to grow, develop and want to be here.” According to University Communications, Statista, the market research firm that partnered with Forbes to create this list, anonymously surveyed 60,000 American employees to rate their
businesses on diverse topics such as age, gender, ethnicity, race, disability and sexual orientation equality. The responses were looked over for any potential diversity gaps. Respondents belonging to a minority group were then told to nominate organizations that they did not belong too. UA’s 2019 workforce demographic statistics say the university employs 16,523 people. Of that total, 54% of the faculty and staff are women and 45% are minorities. The highest non-white ethnicity/race that the university employs is Hispanic or Latino, making up nearly 27% of the university demographics. The second-highest group the university employs is international at 9%, followed by Asian at 4%. “It is important that we try to have as wide and diverse of an applicant pool as we can, so our recruitment team has been working to create tools to help with that across campus,” said Staci Wilson, the other assistant vice president of Human Resources. Wilson also said that UA’s job posting has minimal qualifications that go with a job so the hiring committees and applicants can
& Organizational Development’s website, the Workplace We Want program helps to “define what a good environment looks like, build skills for having better conversations and providing timely feedback, incorporate appreciation and gratitude into your workflow, and identify actionable steps to help you create the workplace you want.” The UA also has the Inclusive Leadership Program, which states that it aims to diversify leadership and enhance collaborations to create inclusive workplaces. This program consists of the Hispanic Serving Institute Fellows, Future Leaders Workshop Series and Inclusive Leadership Cohort Certificate. The Hispanic Serving Institution was designated by the Department of Education in 2018 for having over 25% of Hispanic students enrolled. According to the website, the Hispanic Serving Institution Fellows Program hopes to “optimize the UA’s organizational identity as a HSI and enhance and diversify the University’s leadership capacity.”
see if it is the right fit for them. According to the UA website, the UA has six core values that it stands by: integrity, exploration, adaptation, determination, compassion and inclusion. Inclusion’s definition in those values is to “harness the power of diversity.” “Having different perspectives, different experiences, different cultures, different backgrounds that people come from makes us better,” Brennan said. “The research shows that [diversity] enriches the workforce — the thinking of what happens. It makes people more productive.” The UA also has programs to help employees work in an enjoyable work environment. Brennan is also one of the facilitators for Workplace We Want, a program that is a part of the Leadership & Organizational Development group within human resources. “It is a highly interactive approach that establishes the foundation for creating a culture where people want to belong,” Brennan said in an email.

OPINIONS | TOPIC OF THE WEEK
Topic BE YOUR OWN of the TIME COP Week: BY PRIYA JANDU @Priya_J11
I think it’s important to remember there’s no universal strategy to time management that will work for everyone. You have to find what works for you and try to make a habit of it. I figured out what organization system worked best for me last year, and I think that helped improve my time management. I use both a monthly and a day-to-day calendar to keep track of everything. Visually seeing what I have to get done helps me prioritize. It seems like overkill, but I like having events like birthdays, rent reminders and assignment due dates on a monthly calendar so I know when they’re coming up. I’ve come to accept that I never have been and never will be an expert on time
management; to get everything done, I’m constantly sacrificing free time and sleep. Anyone who can consistently balance school, work and a social life is superhuman, and you can’t convince me otherwise. BY SAM BURDETTE @SuperSafetySam
There are hundreds of tips out there on how to schedule your time effectively, and creating those schedules — the actual planning of it all — can be a lot of fun. But sticking to that schedule is another thing entirely. When you have in writing that you have to get off your phone and study for exactly three hours at an exact time, following your own guidelines becomes daunting. If you actually stay on time, you are always counting the minutes until you can take a break. If you get behind, you feel like a failure. I find it much less stressful and much more rewarding when I give myself more
rough estimates. If I say I’m going to start my homework at 8 p.m., it’s not the end of the world when I actually don’t start until 8:35 p.m. And if I feel motivated to do it at 7 p.m., then I do it then. If halfway through a textbook chapter I feel like I will literally die if I read one more sentence on an inconclusive communication study, I take a walk. I know there are people out there who swear by the minute-to-minute schedule, but if you’re like me and it doesn’t work for you, try creating a schedule that’s more flexible. Just keep a list of tasks and a rough “study time” and you’ll be done in no time. And if you need a break, take it! You’ll be more productive when you get back to it.
BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO @fantastic_nick
Time management? Can we really ever manage our time properly? Life is just weighing out what event you value more
at the time. Do you want to party with your friends or do you want to study for the test because long-term goals are more important? If you can find the balance between the two extremes, then you already have the skills to manage time. However, no one is going to pat you on the back. So manage your time for “Me Days,” where you spend the day doing what you want to do. You don’t commit to any plans that you didn’t come up with. I usually spend those days staying home and indulging in my gorgeous music collection while I complete most of my assignments. If something slips through the fingers of time, then it needs to be left alone. Time doesn’t and won’t ever come back, so make sure what you’re doing is what you and you alone want to do. Or just do your homework before you go out, or at least half of it so night-you doesn’t screw over morning-you.

Medicare for who, me? BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21
The year of perfect vision, balance and, most importantly, the presidential elections is here: 2020. Every four years, American citizens must make an informed decision that will affect the next four, possibly eight, years of their lives. This year, certain policies are bound to catch the eyes of certain people for a lot of different reasons. Medicare for All, for example, is a bill that has been brought up by different presidential candidates, including current senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But what exactly is it and what does it entail? Medicare for All is a very broad term that covers quite a few proposals for healthcare reforms. Since it is fairly new and there are multiple proposals, a lot of the details are a little hazy right now. “The most common one that is talked about is the bill that was proposed by Bernie Sanders,” said Leila Barraza, J.D., an assistant professor at the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona. “The context for it is a single-payer system that would replace private and public insurance for those in the U.S. … Instead of having public or private insurance, everyone would have a new public-insured program.” Sanders has yet to release a detailed proposal for the bill. Warren, on the other hand, was criticized for her plan to fund the bill through increased taxes on the rich and large corporations. A new study came out recently indicating that a single-payer system could save the United States $600 billion in administrative costs. Nearly half of all U.S. health spending is tied to administration management, according to a report from the Journal of American
Medical Association in 2018. The costs that private insurance companies have to deal with are then transferred to consumers in the U.S., which can make the skyrocketing prices unbearable for most. However, singlepayer plans, including those proposed by Sanders, could potentially reduce health care costs by immense amounts. “A single-payer system would be where the government is running your insurance,” said Erica White, a second-year law student at Arizona State University focusing on health law and policy. “Instead of calling places like Blue Cross Blue Shield or United Healthcare, it would be the federal government who is processing all of the claims ... similar to Canada.” Currently, Medicare covers Americans age 65 and older. With the proposed Medicare for All bill, every American would be covered. Medicaid, on the other hand, is a federal and state program that helps people with limited income and resources with medical costs. In the state of Arizona, Medicaid is called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. The future of Medicaid is unclear if Medicare for All were to be put in place in the United States. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, multiple Medicare for All proposals have been introduced in Congress. The two main categories are “proposals that create a singlepayer system and eliminate other forms of coverage” and “proposals that eliminate the Medicare and Medicaid programs but maintain a role for private insurance.” “It’s something new, it’s different, it’s something we haven’t seen before,” Barraza said. “Private insurance companies would not want to see themselves go away. … It would be a totally different model and there are some issues that could come up.”
COURTESY WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
SAMPLE OF THE UNITED States Medicare program cards that began rolling out in 2018.
The majority of advocates for Medicare for All believe that the funding for the bill would come from increased taxes. According to NPR, “Sen. Elizabeth Warren says paying for ‘Medicare for All’ would require $20.5 trillion in new federal spending over a decade. That spending includes higher taxes on the wealthy but no new taxes on the middle class.” Critics of Warren argue that her plan would actually require almost double that, hovering around $34 trillion, according to CNN. In fact, her plan has been under a lot of scrutiny because most critics don’t believe she can get away with raising enough money without taxing the middle class anything. Warren’s website includes a detailed plan of action to transition into having Medicare for All. She differs from Sanders in that her plan doesn’t eliminate the need for private insurance groups. According to The Washington Post, “she’s tacitly acknowledging Medicare-for-all’s
political difficulty by proposing that people should be allowed — but not forced — to enroll in government health insurance as a first step toward universal health coverage.” Oftentimes, critics of the bill bring up the fact that “fraud and abuse” would only be exacerbated if Medicare for All is put in place. Medicare “fraud” can consist of “knowingly submitting, or causing to be submitted, false claims or making misrepresentations of fact to obtain a Federal health care payment for which no entitlement would otherwise exist,” according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, among other reasons. When given such an important privilege as to vote, it is crucial to know what is at stake when electing someone to office. Medicare for All is a bill that could potentially have both positive and negative side effects on the United States, and only time will tell what will happen.

Local business owner accentuates southwestern culture in gift shop
BY ISABELLA BARRON @bellambarron
On Ninth Street, just around the corner from Fourth Avenue, Latin music will lead you through the alley gate and into a large white building known as Chulas. Chulas opened in December 2019 and is owned by Tucson native Marisol FloresAguirre. It is a curated gift shop, meaning that everything in the shop is hand-picked by Flores-Aguirre. Flores-Aguirre said she was inspired by her appreciation of Mexican culture and her love for Tucson and that although Tucson has a great business scene, she felt that there was something missing. “I was inspired by some shops in [Los Angeles]. They were really small, but it was really adding to the culture down there,” Flores-Aguirre said. “I felt like there was a miss between offering a culturally focused gift shop that highlighted artesanos that are local and international with this kind of feel.” Flores-Aguirre said that she comes from an entrepreneurial family. After finishing her undergraduate in health education from the University of Arizona, she worked with her father at his advertising and consulting firm. Flores-Aguirre said the “hustle” runs in her family. In 2014, Flores-Aguirre graduated with a master’s degree from Eller College of Management at the UA. She then worked at the Young Women’s Christian Association for about three and a half years. She began
as the Women’s Business Center director, where she guided women in starting their own businesses. Flores-Aguirre said she always had a passion for business, but that it was something she “was afraid to do on her own.” In January 2019, Flores-Aguirre started working at Eller College as a mentor in residence for the McGuire Program and coteaches a class on innovation. The McGuire Program is a year-long program that helps students whose primary goal is to start a business. Flores-Aguirre said community service and her drive to help others has been “a part of her identity” for her entire life. Her parents taught her the importance of community. “My parents wanted us to make sure that as we were working hard to be the best we could be that we were also opening doors for other people,” Flores-Aguirre said. “I can’t really say when it all started, it just always was. Activism calls to your spirit.” Flores-Aguirre said she was always drawn to business, but fear stood in the way. However, she said her drive to highlight Mexican culture and artists inspired her to combat that fear. Chulas sells a variety of household, personal and stationery items as well as self-care products. These products come primarily from women and Chicanx makers and artists from the Southwest, such as Arizona, Texas, California and different parts of Mexico. Flores-Aguirre emphasized that one of her primary goals is to be intentional with the shop. She wants to empower the artists and make sure they are setting the tone in terms of price
agreements with the artists. “Part of the really cool thing about our shop is that we work on building relationships. If you ask me anything about any piece in the shop, I can tell you who made it and where it came from,” Flores-Aguirre said. Among the many artists featured at Chulas is Tucson native Estefany Gallego. Gallego owns a small batch candle company called Velitas and currently sells her products online, at pop-up shops and at Chulas. Gallego said she chose to sell at Chulas because of the intentions and goals the shop has. “I am extremely happy and grateful that Velitas is part of Chulas. The culturally focused space they created along with working with women and makers is absolutely amazing,” Gallego said in a text message. “To me, it gave me a sense of belonging, and I’m sure others will feel the same way.” Gallego said her business relationship with Flores-Aguirre has “flourished” and that her experience working with her has been nothing less than amazing. According to Gallego, something special about Chulas is that when you shop there, you aren’t only supporting one business but a variety of small businesses. Flores-Aguirre said that valuing the “work, art, history and tradition” of the artists is something she finds very important. “Highlighting the beauty and complexity of their work is super important to me,” FloresAguirre said. “If we don’t invest in the makers, the traditions get lost.” Kerri Lopez-Howell is the executive director of the Sunnyside Foundation and is an adjunct
professor at the UA. Lopez-Howell worked with Flores-Aguirre at the Young Women’s Christian Association and has known her for about five years. “[Chulas] is a shining replication of who she is as a person,” Lopez-Howell said in a text message. “It is more than a store, it is a movement of empowering female/latinx makers while also sharing and celebrating latinx with a broad audience.” Flores-Aguirre said she will always be grateful that she took the leap despite the fear. She said “the act of doing took away the fear.” Flores-Aguirre said she hopes that when people walk into the store, they are excited and they can see themselves represented there. She said she believes there is something in the store for everyone and that it is open and welcome to everyone. “I hope that this space is making a small offering to the community that has given me so much and nurtured me,” Flores-Aguirre said. “Tucson has something magical. I hope that this space can become a little part of that magic.” Chulas is located at 423 E. Ninth St. and is open Friday through Sunday. Their Friday and Saturday hours are from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and their Sunday hours are from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. To learn more about Chulas, visit their Instagram @chulasaz, their Facebook page or their website.

UA staff get creative with ‘On Our Own Time’ exhibit BY ELLA MCCARVILLE @EllaMcCarville
Artists from vastly different backgrounds showcased their unique and individual visions of the art for the finale of the 10th annual “On Our Own Time” art exhibit, which ran Feb. 315. University of Arizona employees and their immediate families gathered at Biosciences Research Lab lobby to celebrate the last night of the exhibit. The show, which is funded by the National Arts Program, offered the participants the opportunity to compete for cash prizes and other awards. Artists were judged and awarded prizes based on their artist categories such as amateur, intermediate, professional, youth or teen. Pamela Wagner, Tucson show coordinator and center support for RISE Health & Wellness Center, saw importance in giving employees an outlet for their creativity. “When you’re at work and you have a coworker you may sit further away from, you may never know that they like the same things you do,” Wagner said. “This gives people a common ground to start with. That brings the community closer together and helps break down barriers and stigmas and just gives people the opportunity to talk about their lives.” Pieces in the show varied from female nudes missing their nipples from surgery to a selfportrait with a saguaro drawn by an artist under 12 years old. Wagner, who participated in the exhibit for seven years before becoming a show coordinator three years ago, did not want to put limitations on the artists. “There’s a couple of very strong entries that some people may think, ‘That’s not art. I don’t want to see that. That doesn’t make me happy,’” Wagner said. “But it invokes emotion and in
a couple of the instances, it’s an immediate, powerful emotion. That’s how things change in the world. People get together and say, ‘Hey that’s not right.’ A lot of times art is part of that culture change. To see those bits and pieces in exhibits like this that you would think would be kind of insulated — it’s really fascinating to me to watch people’s reactions and then have them think about it.” Zoe Zeszut, an artist who is also an employee at UA’s Lunar & Planetary Lab for the OSIRISREx mission, used art as an opportunity to explore the beauty of space outside of her job. “[Science is] what I do at work, like that asteroid picture down there. That’s based on an image that our spacecraft took as it approached the asteroid,” Zeszut said. “I was looking at those images for work and I decided to make a nice painting.” Cynthia Standley, a professor of bioethics and medical humanism and the director of the Art In Medicine program at the UA College of Medicine — Phoenix campus, incorporated art into her job as a teaching tool. Standley’s Art in Medicine program aimed to give students a well-rounded approach to medical care, similar to the versatile artists’ approach at the “On Our Own Time” art exhibit. “It’s a program that supports the use of art to build skills in our medical students in empathy, compassion and enhancing patient care,” Standley said. Standley pointed out the similar goals of the two programs. “I think this is really great because it shows that there’s a lot more to us than just our daily jobs,” she said. “It’s a way to get to know other aspects of people’s personality, people’s outside interests and things like that. It makes us a little more human that way.”

Many university students have rough nights. Ask anyone and most peoplewill have plenty of stories to tell, but one particular student may have a story that is more interesting than most. According to the report, on Feb. 8 two officers were dispatched to help another officer who was responding to a call about an individual passed out by the Harvill building. The student was being checked out by University of Arizona EMS when the officers arrived. They were able to identify the student and in the process found a fake identification on him. The officer noticed clear signs of intoxication, like him being unsure of what city he was in. He answered the officer’s questions, including how long he had been drinking and how much he had had to drink, which he attempted to answer honestly but was unsure of. After answering questions, he was cited and released for Minor in Possession in Body and Possession of a Fictitious License. His fake ID was confiscated. He was offered a courtesy ride back to his residence, which he told them was the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house. When he arrived at the house, the officer walked the student up to make sure he returned home. Interestingly enough, as they were walking up, the student informed the officer that “they leave a front window unlocked and that’s how he typically enters the house.” While he was attempting to climb through the window, it became dislodged and shattered into the house. He was asked by the officer to come back outside and confirm that the fraternity house was his residence, which a fraternity member walking up was able to confirm.
The cold last week threw everyone in Tucson off, and most people were lucky enough to have a warm place to say. Some people were not, though, and a warm place was too enticing, even if it is the shed in the backyard of a fraternity house. According to the report, on Feb. 9 two officers responded to the Phi Gamma Rho, or FIJI, fraternity house for the call of an unwanted person trespassing on the fraternity’s property. The residents of the house believed that the male was unresponsive. When the officer arrived, the president of the fraternity informed him that the male was in the back shed and that he felt unsafe and no one wanted to approach the shed. He stated that his fraternity members had asked the unknown male to leave the property and that he had “just nodded” but did not proceed to leave. The two officers made contact with the man, who was sitting in the shed. He was identified and found to have a warrant out of Winslow and multiple cases out of the Tucson Police Department for trespassing. He responded to their questions and stated that he was staying out of the cold and thought it was okay to stay in the shed. He said that he was told by the residents he was allowed to stay in the shed, which was false. He explained that he had gained entry through the gate, which the president informed the officers was easy to do by reaching over the gate and unlocking it. The man stated that he knew that it was a house and that he knew Wendy’s and Taco Bell were open right next door, but still chose to stay in the fraternity’s shed. The man was placed under arrest as a cite and release for criminal trespass in the third degree.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and sometimes desperate measures must be taken to acquire it. According to the report, on Feb. 5 an officer was dispatched to McClelland Hall where they had received a call of two unknown males that were attempting to steal a bike by hammering the bike lock. The officer made contact with the males, who were kneeling by a bike with a hammer laying next to them. The men were identified and their names were ran for warrants and offenses; one of them came back with warrants out of Bisbee, Ariz. The men were asked why they were kneeling next to the bike and one of them stated that “a guy asked him to get his bicycle and he would buy them breakfast at McDonald’s.” They were asked for this alleged guy’s last name and phone number, which they could not provide and were placed under arrest for attempted theft of the bicycle. They were also charged for criminal damage of the bicycle lock and drug paraphernalia that was found during the search of one of the men. Both were served exclusionary orders from university property for six months. — Police beats are written and produced by the news desk at the Daily Wildcat.
