“College is tough And sometimes you just neeD a little help. SenD me an email and we can talk about how we can get Your college career on the next level.”

Last semester, a flier in the Harvill Building with this text, the capitalized letters spelling out “ADDY,” was forwarded to the University of Arizona Police Department by Rosanna Curti from the Dean of Students Office, according to the UAPD case report. The attachment was sent to Mickell Barney, a UAPD Crime Analyst, leading to the discovery of a non-UA affiliated individual selling Adderall, aka Addy, on campus.

“We will follow-up on information we get, or if we have reason to believe that the case is going to have some impact on our community, we will definitely try to investigate that as far as we can,” said Sgt. Cindy Spasoff, Public Information Officer in Crime Prevention at UAPD. Adderall is the brand name for a combination of levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are central nervous system stimulants that individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder can be prescribed after extensive testing.

Thomas Shafer, Nurse Practitioner for the Campus Health Counseling and Psych Services Psychiatry Team, said the diagnosis of ADHD is made from a combination of information.

y journey with loving my body has been a bumpy one. In fact, my journey is still going.

I once equated skinniness with happiness.

My perspective has changed, and I’m grateful for that progress. I went from crying in dressing rooms to dancing around to music while trying on clothes that society would deem too scandalous for my fat body.

Clothing has played a big part in molding how I view myself. The inclusivity of plus sizes and the growth of the body positivity movement has helped me to see myself in a more positive light.

The body positivity movement can be traced back to the 60s with the rise of fat bodies being celebrated.

Thanks to the progression of the movement, today in 2018, bodies like mine are seen on magazine covers and in the fashion industry.

Because of that same progress, now, when I see clothing that doesn’t cater to my size, instead of thinking I have to change, I question why all clothing

known for clothing, CVS. Destinee Escarcega, a sales associate at Dress Code, not only agrees there should be options for curvier bodies, she proudly flaunts her own.

“There’s obviously so many different types of body types that go to college, of course,” Escarcega said. “[From] a personal standpoint, I am a little plus myself. I like to see options as well.”

Although those four stores have clothing for a variety of body types, I found that six others do not consistently carry sizes past large: Pitaya, Swindlers, Grand Central Clothing, Urban Outfitters, Collette and Boutique 816.

Boutique 816 sales associate Taylor Keeter, who also works at Collette, supports the inclusion of plus sizes.

“I do think it’s really unfair that we don’t carry [plus sizes] and even like the petite sizes we don’t carry, so we really don’t cater to a large population,” Keeter said.

With eight years of retail experience behind her belt, Keeter was able to elaborate on why Boutique 816, which is seen as a mom-and-pop shop due to being a small boutique, and businesses like it provide a limited size range.

stores haven’t changed. U.S. clothing stores consider sizes 14 and up plus size.

Research done by Plunkett Research reveals that 68 percent of women in America fall into this category.

Some clothing companies are catering to this truth, and sadly, some aren’t. Why is the size range in clothing stores everywhere not reflecting the world I live in, a world where a majority of women are curvy?

I question this non-inclusivity, especially as I pass by certain stores on University Boulevard.

Clothing stores located on University, a street that leads directly to the University of Arizona, don’t appear to cater to plus-sized people. University Boulevard is home to Main Gate Square. Main Gate Square deems itself as “a pedestrian-friendly dining and shopping destination featuring over 20 retailers and 30 restaurants near the University of Arizona and Tucson’s historic neighborhoods.”

With it being so close to campus, it’s easily accessible to UA students, like me. I’m sure they know this, and I’m sure they know that there are plus-sized UA students. I decided to do my own investigating to see who is and isn’t serving a student community that is so underrepresented.

I found only four stores on University Boulevard that consistently carry plus sizes: Dress Code, A-City, Sonoran Cycles Tucson and, despite not being well

Tucson looks to sustainable future by 2030 Green living is the way of the future and Tucson won’t be left behind with a new plan to reduce energy usage by renovating old buildings and constructing environmentally friendly new ones

BY ALANA MINKLER @alana_minkler

The Old Pueblo is looking to add some new sustainability features throughout the city.

Tucson became an established 2030 District on Dec. 20, 2018, when the city, the University of Arizona and the county joined the 2030 Districts Network, a federation of Established 2030 Districts.

The 2030 Districts are a nationwide, privatepublic, nonprofit collaborative whose goal is to demonstrate that sustainably built buildings can be the most valuable buildings in the region, boosting the economy. The project’s goal is to dramatically reduce energy and water consumption as well as transportation emissions.

“The bottom line, as far as I’m concerned, is we’re looking for ways to mitigate climate change,” said John Eisele, the executive director of Tucson 2030 District.

Trevor Ledbetter, the director of the UA Office of Sustainability, was a driving force in making the partnership happen.

The university joined “very much to

reinforce the commitments we have already been making in the space of sustainability over the last few months,” he said, as well as to address the university’s own emissions.

The georgraphy of Tucson makes the issue of sustainability even more pressing.

“For us, it’s all the more relevant, because we are in a semi-arid environment and we are in the middle of a drought,” Ledbetter said.

The specific goals set forth by the Architecture 2030’s Challenge for Planning include a 50 percent reduction in energy use, water use and transportation emissions for existing buildings and infrastructure operations below the national average by the year 2030. For new buildings, major renovations and new infrastructure, the goal is to reach carbon neutrality and reduce water use and transportation emissions by 50 percent by 2030.

“Yeah, it’s a big commitment, especially for the university,” Ledbetter said.

The UA makes up the majority of the area committed to the Tucson 2030 district.

Reaching these goals depends on the funding sustainability efforts receive.

Courtney Fey, a general manager at

the Borderlands Brewing Company, a participating 2030 District business, said that its core values lined up with the project’s goals and its environmentally oriented brand.

“We think this is something the community needs and wants, so their values dictate our values, in a way,” Fey said. “We find it important to stay true to our customers.”

The 2030 District network calculates a building’s energy use and compares its energy use to the national average.

“That’s a starting point for a lot of business owners, because one of my favorite sayings is, ‘They don’t know what they don’t know,’” Eisele said.

This means businesses are too busy running their business to pay attention to what energy they could save.

Borderlands Brewing Company is looking at “how to align our goals to be sustainable with our business side,” Fey said. “How can you be sustainable while still making a profit?

How do you implement these changes of sustainability without totally losing your business?”

She said one of the classes that 2030 District offers, called SCALE UP, gave the businesses

ideas on how to answer these questions.

The Office of Sustainability hopes to also provide connections for the 2030 District by offering educational services and business expertise from the UA Eller College of Management.

“We have world-renowned faculty here who can help to kind of transfer some knowledge, do some more innovative and intentional research around resiliency and how our area needs to change,” Ledbetter said.

Eisele expanded on how owners are expected to improve sustainability.

“What we request is that the building owner commit to working with us towards the goals of the 2030 district,” Eisele said. “The idea would be then that they would commit to working towards the goals of the district of decreasing their energy use by 50 percent by 2030, based on the national average.”

Ledbetter said that the 50 percentreduction goals aligns with the university’s idea for its sustainable future: “By the time that 2030 rolls around ... I hope that the UA has hit these goals,” Ledbetter said.

Arid Lands Resource Sciences Graduate Interdisciplinary Program celebrates 50 years

BY MARQUIES WHITE @marquies_white

The Arid Lands Resource Sciences Graduate Interdisciplinary Program’s goal is to guide graduate students in addressing the complex issues of sustainability in both local and global arid lands.

Professor emeritus Chuck Hutchinson, former chair of ALRS, said studying arid lands is useful for learning more about the environment and sustainability.

“There are a lot of pressures on arid ecosystems and livelihood systems that occur a lot earlier than they would in other environments,” Hutchinson said. “Arid environments are a useful laboratory to see how things function under stress and everything that follows from that in terms of biology, productivity, water and all those things.”

At least 40 percent of the Earth’s surface consists of arid or semi-arid lands, making the study of arid lands relevant on a global scale, according to Hutchinson.

ALRS is an interdisciplinary program that encourages students to bring other areas of study into their research. Graduate student Drew Eppehimer, who has a master’s in justice studies and one in environmental science, brought his aquatic ecology research into the program.

“My research focuses on the use of treated wastewater to support and restore desert rivers and streams,” Eppehimer said. “As our natural surface waters become increasingly scarce, artificial sources of water will become increasingly important. I examine the aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in effluent systems, such as our local Santa Cruz River.”

While Eppehimer’s research is focused on the aquatic side of arid lands, Ladd Keith, graduate student in the program, planning lecturer and chair of the Sustainable Built Environments Program, focuses on the urban planning side of arid lands.

“What I was interested in was how the Southwest was planning for climate change,” Keith said. “And that’s a question that is answered really well by interdisciplinary research and looking at urban

planning, climate science, geography and anthropology.”

Eppehimer and Keith are just two examples of the interdisciplinary nature of the program, with other current ALRS students focusing on food security, wildlife conservation and wildfires.

The faculty involved with ALRS are just as interdisciplinary as the students, as they are composed of 55 faculty members across 19 departments in the university.

ALRS is a self-determined program that gives students the freedom to choose their own research focuses.

“The program is great if you are self-directed, you really know what you want to do, and it involves

arid lands and requires a lot of disciplinary perspectives,” Keith said.

“It is hard work to work with different disciplines; it’s like learning a lot of different languages that you will have to master by the end.”

According to Keith, students with understandings of multiple disciplines can make connections to better combat the great challenges society is facing.

“This program gives students a broad education in the issues facing arid environments around the world, encouraging them to think critically about solutions to these real world problems,” Eppehimer said.

The University of Arizona’s ALRS program is one of only two arid

lands-focused graduate programs in the United States.

Hutchinson said he was unsure why there are not other similar programs but said the reason the UA has such a program is “the UA has a lot of its identity strongly linked to arid environments, because that is the environment it exists in.”

Hutchinson also pointed out that one of the UA’s missions during its creation was to support the people living in Tucson, and researching arid lands is pertinent to the UA and its community.

The 2017 Monitoring the Future Report – Volume II was just released and illustrates a continued, steady decline in college alcohol consumption. In fact, the decline reached historic low levels on the measurements of daily and lifetime alcohol consumption, and the number of students reporting they had been drunk in the past month. Additionally, the report found two-thirds of college students are not binge drinking.

I love my friends but they do a lot of drinking.

I need to stop drinking so much but I don’t want to miss out on all the fun we have together.

How can I stop drinking and keep having fun?

You are in good company, many students find that heavy or regular drinking affects their looks, their sleep and their academic success and decide to slow down or stop drinking as a way to get their life and health in gear. It sounds like you’ve already made the decision to change and know what you have to gain once you do. That’s a great start.

Now you’ll want to examine what you really like about drinking. Knowing what you are looking for the alcohol to do for you can help you identify how you might replace it and still get your needs met.

What’s it all about?

Is it about your friendships? You care about what others think of you, you might be afraid of losing friends. Start by candidly talking to your friends about your desire to slow down, see what they think. They may even be willing to help you keep to your resolution.

If so, you can start attending activities that are fun but don’t involve alcohol like the Cats After Dark events. You can initiate a month-long self challenge for stopping.

Consider putting some effort in expanding your friend groups to include others that have less interest in drinking.

Is it the taste/experience you are into?

Do pairing certain types of drinks with certain types of activities or food seem like a necessity? Imagine alternatives that give you

the same feel without the calories or downsides. Mixed drinks in the fancy glass can be made without the alcohol or with lower alcohol content and still give the feel of the experience without the headache.

Is it about feelings or avoiding them?

Sometimes life can get intense and we want to escape. If this is why you are drinking you might want to explore and address what’s upsetting you. Facing things directly can be unpleasant but bottling them up generally only magnifies problems and alcohol can create new ones. Next time you are tempted to drink to “feel or not to feel something,” try a little meditation – YouTube or Stressbusters app has some great examples – just google what’s bothering you and you’ll probably find others struggling with something similar.

If you’ve tried moderating but you can’t stop once you get started this may be a sign of a bigger problem. You might consider going to a support group like Wildcats Anonymous to get ideas and support from others. There are Counselors at CAPS and tools on the website that can help you consider your options.

Go online to check them out.

Once you’ve changed out the new habits for the old ones, use the benefits you’ve gained as a way to encourage yourself to keep up the healthy changes.

Wildcats go green and ‘Skip the Straw’

BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11

Several factors contribute to environmental decline, including climate change, pollution and plastic straws.

The University of Arizona’s Cooper Center for Environmental Learning’s outreach team brings the Skip the Straw campaign to campus, encouraging students to refrain from using plastic straws and use reusable ones instead.

“It’s an educational campaign that we are putting on in the student union to try to get students more aware about their straw usage and plastic usage,” said Makenzie Jackson, a member of the Cooper Center’s Outreach Team. “Our ultimate goal is to be able to reduce straw usage in the union by 50 percent and get compostable straws next year.”

The outreach team has been working with the student union to promote the campaign. If they are able to cut straw usage on campus in half, the union will be able to switch to compostable straws, Jackson said.

“In our conversation with the student union, we talked about how approximately 670,000 straws [are] used on campus every school year,” said Deanna Kullbeth, the project COURTESTY MAKENZIE JACKSON manager for the Cooper Center MAKENZIE JACKSON HANDS OUT flyers on the UA Mall for the Skip the Straw Campaign.

Athleticism in this GymCat’s blood

BY KARA LIPSON @Karajlipson

JOSE TORO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

UA GYMNAST CHRISTINA BERG performs her routine on the floor during the UA gymnastics team’s competition against Utah on Jan. 26 in Mckale Center.

Having a very athletic family could cause pressure, but for Arizona GymCat Christina Berg, there was only support.

Her grandfather was a football player at St. Ambrose University and later an athletic director and coach; her dad played basketball, football and baseball in high school and continued on to play baseball for Memphis State University; her sister was a gymnast at Michigan State University; her other sister did gymnastics until high school; and her brother played football at community college for two years.

“No matter where I travel to, I will always have my family watching me live or on TV,” Berg said. “They understand the commitment level and hard work it takes to be a college athlete, which helps.”

Because her siblings and she were never in the same level because they are much older, being competitive was not an option. However, she did always try to top what her sister did when she was her age.

Athleticism is in her blood; she followed the footsteps of both of her sisters and began gymnastics at age 3.

“They would flip me around and help me learn new skills before I even entered the sport. I used to set up furniture in the living room and swing on a pull up bar, pretending to be at gymnastics meets,” the UA junior said. “My mom knew I had to be put in this sport, with all of my energy and talent at a young age.”

Her family has shaped her into who she is today.

“I could not imagine where I would be without the constant support from both my parents and my siblings,” Berg said. “They have been by my side since day one and continue to watch my journey through the NCAA.” College gymnastics was Berg’s dream since she began the sport.

She wanted to get the experience of doing the sport for not only a team but a Division I school.

There were obstacles that Berg has had to overcome throughout her career. At her very first gymnastics meet, she had to sit out because she was not old enough to compete.

She was 5 years old, and the age requirement was 6.

Her biggest challenge has been dealing with injuries. She has had five surgeries since she was 12 years old, including three elbow surgeries and two hip surgeries.

“It has not been an easy road,” Berg said. “Hearing you need surgery at age 12 is not something that sounds promising for the future, and neither does a surgery at age 20.”

Having this many surgeries has held her back with gymnastics, as she only does bars and floor and has limited training days.

“My dream was always to do all around; however, I am giving all I have on the two events I do to make up for it. I have overcome all the injuries that have been thrown my way, thanks to lots of rehab, doctors’ visits and dedication,” Berg said.

Berg is from Tinley Park, Illinois.

Along with gymnastics, she received the Scholastic All-American Award in 2018 as well as served as the team captain. She also volunteers at AZ Health Zone once a week, working with kids to help promote fitness and nutrition education, as her aspiration for the future is to become a physician’s assistant and work with an orthopedic surgeon to help athletes like her recover and get back to their sport.

Baseball Notebook: Four standout features ANALYSIS BY ARI KOSLOW @koslow_ari

The Arizona baseball team got off to a hot start and finished the weekend just as hot, as the Wildcats blew away the visiting UMass Lowell River Hawks in a four-game sweep. Here are four observations we made after the opening weekend: Preseason All-American Cameron Cannon too much for River Hawks pitching staff : After hitting .321 last season, Cameron Cannon took no time getting back into form, going 8 for 14 in the opening series against UMass Lowell. He led the team in doubles last season with twenty-one and is well on pace to beat that number this season after slashing six doubles in just four games to begin.

In fact, he is well on pace to surpass the UA single-season record for doubles, which was set by Dave Stegman in 1976 with thirty doubles. Cannon will look to continue his hot hitting in Houston this upcoming week against Rice University and the University of Houston.

UMass Lowell pitchers lose command all series: This was certainly a series to forget for the River Hawks’ pitching staff, as they were all over the place. If Cannon wasn’t slashing doubles all over the field, it is safe to assume the Wildcats were taking first base via a walk.

The UMass Lowell bullpen combined to throw 28 walks, while the entire River Hawks pitching staff combined to throw 45 walks for the series.

Game four on Sunday pretty much summed this stat up in a nutshell for UMass Lowell, as starter Sal Fusco walked seven

of eight hitters, including six in a row to begin the inning in the bottom of the second inning. The pitching staff combined to throw 17 walks that game.

Power was on display for the Wildcats’ lineup: In the four games of this weekend’s opening series, the Arizona Wildcat lineup combined to hit fourteen doubles, three triples and five home runs. This was in large part due to Cannon, along with the freshman tandem of Ryan Holgate and Austin Wells combining to hit four home runs. Once Nick Quintana finds his groove again, which we saw on Sunday when he went 3 for 3, this lineup is looking to be deadly for opposing pitchers.

Patience of the Wildcat lineup: Although it can partly be attributed to the wildness of the River Hawks’ pitching staff, you have to give the Wildcat lineup some credit for staying patient throughout the series. It could have been easy for them to assume that after so many balls were thrown, a strike up the middle would have eventually come.

However, they did a fantastic job of seeing each pitch as it went by them, staying patient and not blindly swinging at too many pitches in the dirt. That is key, especially come conference play, as a pitcher gains a lot of confidence when they are ahead in the count.

“I think the players have all improved,” said head coach Jay Johnson. “And the plate discipline thing is a big part of our offense, big part of our training, and they worked extremely hard at it. As a staff, coach [Sergio] Brown and coach [Marc] Wanaka in particular, myself — I mean, we have a high bar for offensive development here, and we’re going to hold that high, regardless of what the score is.”

Cusanelli makes Team USA

BY LUKE CORVELLO @LukeCorvello

The Arizona hockey team is heading into the final stretch off the season, but the most recent news took place off the ice. The team announced captain Anthony Cusanelli was named to Team USA for the upcoming World University Games. The games are set to take place in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, from March 2-12.

Cusanelli’s selection means he is the first University of Arizona hockey player ever to be named to Team USA. The games feature NCAA athletes as well as players from the American Collegiate Hockey Association.

The World University Games take place every two years, in both summer and winter, and are right behind the Olympics in international importance.

Cusanelli said he feels wearing the Team USA colors will be an honor and spoke on what it means to be apart of the team’s legacy.

“The thought of wearing our nation’s jersey is almost overwhelming. I will do everything in my power to make Tucson and the University of Arizona proud. I am thankful for this incredible opportunity,” Cusanelli said.

Cusanelli adds another honor to his name and is showing why head coach Chad Berman elected to him to serve as the team’s captain for this season. The

forward was the 2017-2018 ACHA Rookie of the Year, to go along with his earning Western Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Year.

He was also named the Wildcats’ Most Valuable Player at the conclusion of last year. He is currently second on the team in scoring, behind forward Bayley Marshall. Cusanelli has certainly established himself as a household name in Tucson with his outstanding play on the ice for the Wildcats.

Berman spoke on what it means for Cusanelli and what it means for the Wildcat hockey legacy to have him on the USA team.

“It is the ultimate compliment to any hockey player to earn the opportunity to represent the United States for Team USA. Anthony’s skills are obvious, but it is the kind of person that he is that will also shine on the world stage. He will represent the University of Arizona in the best way possible. To say we are proud of him is not enough. Words cannot describe how excited we are at Arizona hockey,” Berman said.

Cusanelli has become an integral part of the team’s success this past season and is a big reason for why the ‘Cats find themselves at No. 6 nationally. He will miss the team’s final three regular-season games to attend the World University Games, but the team intends to have him back for the 2019 ACHA National Tournament. The tournament will take place March 21-26 in Texas.

INVESTIGATIVE | ADDERALL

ADDERALL FROM COVER

Included in these are psychiatric evaluation, psychological testing, medical and family history and collaborative information about symptoms from family or teachers.

“All of these will help inform the evaluation and if diagnostic criteria for the disorder is fully met,” Shafer said.

Phoebe Lowe, a junior studying Retail and Consumer Science, was initially prescribed Adderall in high school after being diagnosed with auditory processing disorder.

“When my friends would come over, my mom would take all the pills out of the bottle but one,” Lowe said.

She explained that by temporarily relocating the prescription, her mom meant to keep Lowe’s friends from being tempted to ask for pills and Lowe from feeling pressured to share them.

Having ADP means the link between hearing information, processing it and responding is slower, which can make

academic and social settings more difficult. Medications like Adderall can help the brain function at a more typical level, under the guidance of a medical professional.

Lowe said that people illegally buying Adderall makes it much harder for her to get her medication. During the summer, she has to drive from Orange County, Calif., to Yuma to receive more medicine, because doctors in California won’t fill an out-of-state prescription.

Adderall users with ADHD benefit from the effects because it “normalizes the area of the brain that’s involved in attention and focus,” Shafer said.

However, the problem comes when users buy amphetamines to help them study or take a test. According to an article by Alan D. DeSantis et. al. for the Journal of American College Health in 2008, the students they interviewed primarily took illegal ADHD medications “to stay awake to study.”

That reason was given by 72 percent of their 585 subjects. Other reasons included the ability to concentrate or memorize, to stay awake to have fun,

for the high, to suppress appetite or to self-medicate ADHD. Kaye Godbey, project coordinator of AOD/Poly-Substance Misuse and Abuse Prevention at Campus Health, said being awake or being alert is not necessarily going to help someone learn.

“You actually have to have decent study skills to learn things,” Godbey said. “You have to study. You can’t just learn history by taking an Adderall.”

The nature of Godbey’s position is to promote “healthy medication practices,” including the proper disposal of old medications, rather than sharing. A Campus Health sign reads “Sharing is not always caring,” when it comes to medication.

Amphetamines aren’t the only issue facing the university. Negotiations were made to include poly-substance misuse, an addiction involving three or more drugs, combined, because the mixing of different substances can be even more dangerous.

“The funding for my position initially comes from opioid money set aside

GENERIC AMPHETAMINES IN A pill bottle. Adderall and other amphetamine formulations are prescribed to treat a variety of disorders, like auditory processing disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, but on college campuses, it is sometimes taken by students without such disorders as a “study enhancer”.

during the Obama-era legislation,” Godbey said. “There were two years of funding that came through the state, then the state asked the university to address the opioid epidemic.”

According to Health & Wellness Survey data since 2015, males are more likely to have taken stimulants not prescribed to them by a physician.

Adderall is one medication that falls into that category.

Over the course of the last four years, it was found that seniors averaged the highest percentage of stimulant misuse, defined as any use outside of what is prescribed, over the course of a year.

As each year of school progressed, the percentage of self-reported misuse increased.

Since her initial diagnosis, Lowe changed her prescription to Vyvanse, a similar medication to Adderall that typically has less harsh side-effects, which can include headaches, nausea, lack of appetite, and trouble sleeping.

“I feel like I’m slow and not myself,” Lowe said of when she doesn’t have her medication. “I feel self-conscious of what I say or do.”

Amphetamines are safe to use in controlled situations but can have harmful effects when taken recreationally, including the possibility of reliance or addiction.

“If taken recreationally, long-term effects include tolerance, addiction, cardiac abnormalities, loss of appetite, major and severe depression, anxiety, dental issues, among others,” Shafer said.

In addition to the side effects of taking unprescribed pharmaceutical Adderall, if Adderall is bought from a dealer, the effects could be deadly.

In December 2018, a UA student died of overdose from fentanyl in drugs bought from two dealers living at the HUB, according to KVOA. On Jan. 30, the Tucson Police Department arrested and charged two individuals for selling the drugs.

“The deaths we’re seeing, as it relates to opioids, are people who think they’re getting a Ritalin, an Adderall, a Xanax, but they’re really getting tainted drugs that are coming from street dealers,” Godbey said.

Spasoff said if you’re buying pills illegally, “really be cautious, because we have a lot of overdose cases in the United States right now of people overdosing on prescription pills, thinking they were a certain pill and then it’s actually laced with fentanyl, and a small amount of fentanyl can kill you.”

However, according to the Health & Wellness surveys, less than a quarter of the self-reporting population misuses stimulants. Campus Health provides resources for substance abuse on its website.

NEWS | POLICE PRESENTATION

In case of active shooter: Precautions, procedure shared in open session

BY QUINCY SINEK @quincymccllelan

The University of Arizona Police Department will hold an active shooter information session open to all students and faculty of the School of Theatre, Film & Television at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 22.

Ramon Moreno, a crime prevention and public information officer for UAPD, is speaking at the session. He said the active shooter information session is to let students know what UAPD’s response will be and to teach students safety precautions.

“It’s an educational presentation, just to get information out,” Moreno said. “We give information on what to do if you’re in the middle of an active shooter scenario.”

The session, taking place in the Marroney Theater, also will also cover how to communicate with 911 during an incident and inform students about having an emergency action plan.

Moreno said UAPD gives multiple different safety presentations upon request, including presentations on robbery prevention, alcohol/drug education, campus safety and theft prevention.

So far this semester, UAPD has conducted six active shooter presentations with a total of 201 attendees, according to Moreno. In 2018, they conducted approximately 38 active shooter sessions.

“It’s a pretty frequent request that we get and presentation that we put on,” Moreno said.

The School of Theatre, Film & Television has never had an active shooter presentation before but had been discussing it for about a year and decided to request it, according to Ted Kraus, faculty technical director and assistant professor.

“We’ve never done it, so I’m hoping for information, and maybe it’ll help us formulate a plan and just give us all a better sense of awareness of what to look for and what to do … in the tragic case that anything happens,” Kraus said.

Kraus said although they hope they would never need to use this information, it will just give them a “little peace of mind” to know there is a plan.

Moreno said often, that’s the goal of the presentation. “It’s not a topic that is routinely talked about. It’s what we call a high-risk, lowfrequency event,” Moreno said. “We just want to get information [out] and get people thinking.”

The active shooter information session is one hour long and includes a Q&A portion where students and faculty can voice their concerns and get more answers, either related to active shooter safety or not.

Whuie the school has never had an active shooter information session, Kraus said it has had many other safety presentations, both formal and informal.

Presentations such as first-aid training and how to

safely use props in films and on stage are just a few of the many safety lessons taught to students.

“It’s awareness, mostly,” Kraus said. “We talk about safety all the time.”

Moreno said the different safety presentations can be requested through the UAPD website.

Schools can request a session, and the UAPD crime prevention officers will come out to the school to give the presentation.

Kraus said once the School of Theater, Film & Television requested the session, it did not take long for the UAPD to set it up.

“They were very quick about it,” Kraus said.

Moreno said on March 7, instead of waiting for schools to reach out and request an active shooter information session, they will be hosting one at the

UAPD Station at 1852 E. First St. He said seats are limited, but it is open to anyone affiliated with the UA as well as anyone in the Tucson community.

The presentation will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. People can register for the event, bring their lunch to the police station and listen to the session to get information on what to do in an active shooter scenario.

To RSVP or get more information on the active shooter session, email Officer Dominic Timpani at dtimpani@email.arizona.edu.

a SIGN TO STOP Sometimes when you ask the universe for a sign telling you whether or not you should be doing something, for example stealing a road sign, it makes the answer pretty clear, like when the word “stop” is literally right in front of you.

A Sun Link streetcar driver flagged down a University of Arizona Police Department officer on the corner of Second Street and Cherry Avenue on Feb. 2 at approximately 2:30 a.m.

The driver told the officer that a group of people walked down the street carrying a stop sign they had taken from the intersection at Second Street and Olive Road.

The officer drove around until he spotted the group of about five people standing around a stop sign. He told them

to stop where they were and approached to speak with them.

Each member of the group identified themselves using either a passport, ID card or driver’s license. All but one were UA students.

The officer spoke to each person individually.

According to their accounts, the group had been out drinking and were on their way to the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house, which one of the group members belonged to.

The group did not specify when or why they took the sign, though one member did tell the officer that they were college students just trying to have fun and didn’t know what they were going to do with it.

The student did not consider the theft a big deal, though one person said she knew taking the sign was wrong and another said she told the group it was not a good idea to take it.

Only one of the group members admitted to taking the sign. One admitted to carrying it for some time, and three denied ever touching it.

The officer cited and released the group member who was not a UA student for interference with official traffic sign, a class one misdemeanor.

The four UA students were referred to the Dean of Students Office Diversion

Program.

The stop sign was unharmed and returned to its original location.

GETAWAY? GET OUT! When one UA student ended up in a vacant room in Coronado Residence Hall, she probably thought her friends would visit her to hang out. Instead, the UAPD visited to stop the trespassing on Feb. 7.

According to the police report, after a resident assistant moved out of a room reserved for RAs, the room was slated to remain empty. However, the room shared a bathroom with the neighboring dorm.

Two other resident assistants were walking past the “vacant” room on Feb. 6 when they heard voices coming from the inside. They unlocked the door and found a student inside.

According to the RA, the room was decorated and had additional furniture inside that the student said was hers.

She also admitted that she had not been given permission to live in the room but entered through the shared bathroom.

She agreed to take her belongings out of the room.

However, on Feb. 7 at around 7 p.m., when another another RA was checking the hall, she also heard voices coming

from inside the room. Having been informed what the other RAs had seen the other night, she opened the door.

Inside was the same student from the previous day with four of her friends. The room was still filled with the student’s property, according to the RA. The RA confronted the student about this, informing her what she was doing was considered trespassing. She told her to leave, to which the student said, “Yeah, I’m doing it.” The RA warned her that she would return in three hours to check if the room was empty.

When she returned, the RA found that the student was no longer in the room but had left her belongings inside. She called UAPD, and an officer arrived around 11:30 p.m.

According to the officer, the room had stickers on the walls, lights hanging from the ceiling, clothes on the floor, photos on the dresser and trash in the garbage.

The officer contacted the hall community director, who initially said she wished to press charges for trespassing and prosecute on behalf of Residence Life. However, the community director later called the officer back and said Residence Life would handle the issue administratively and not through the criminal justice system.

Brooks Fail: swimming with the greats Arizona sophomore Brooks Fail is already one of the fastest swimmers in UA history and is currently the nation’s 500 yard second-fastest collegiate swimmer — and he has the potential to be much more

BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs

The University of Arizona has an rich athletic history, notably in swimming, and sophomore Brooks Fail has earned his place as one of the greats, both locally and nationally.

Fail broke personal records at the Texas Invitational last November and December, securing a spot in the NCAA Championship .

He is currently ranked No. 2 for the 500-yard freestyle among national collegiate swimmers, with a new personal best of 4:11:84, and is No. 5 for the mile, at 14:43:90.

For the 500, Fail is already the third-fastest swimmer in UA history.

“It hasn’t really set in yet, and I don’t think it will until after I’m done,” Fail said. “The UA has an insane history for distance swimming.

To be that high up there as just a sophomore is definitely motivating. It’s definitely surreal.”

Fail has dropped 11 seconds off his time since starting at the UA, which is “unheard of”, UA assistant coach Cory Chitwood told the Arizona Daily Star. At the Texas Invite, Fail dropped nearly three whole seconds off his personal best for the 500.

Senior and swim partner Jerad Kaskawal predicted Fail’s potential three years prior, when they first met as roommates during the 2016 World Trials. He remembered swimming the same race with Fail and seeing him finish — it was unlike anything he’d ever seen.

“I can tell you that nobody else can finish a race like he does. His last few laps are remarkable. I’ve seen him do things that literally make my mouth drop,” Kaskawal said.

“He has a lot of potential; it’s really exciting.”

According to Kaskawal, Fail “negative-splits” races — he controls his speed so that his second half is faster than the first half. “[At the Texas Invite], he wasn’t even in the lead at the 250, but he turned it on in the last 200 yards and won the race,” Kaskawal said.

“He did that at World Trials, and he came back really fast. Watching him come back that fast was incredible. I knew he had potential to be a really great swimmer.”

Fail began swimming at six years old as part of a summer league with his siblings. He said he took to it instantly but never thought of himself as particularly talented.

“Swimming was just something I always loved to do. Swimming is important to me, but it’s not the be-all, end-all for my life,” Fail said.

This is a philosophy he learned from his mom, Lisa Fail.

“She always preached about being the best version of yourself in the classroom, as a person, as a swimmer,” Fail said. “She always kept me motivated. I don’t think I would be here without everything she did for me.”

One of Fail’s first swim memories is of failure. He was only eight years old. He dove into the pool, and his goggles came off when he hit the water. By time he finished the race, he realized he had swam into another swimmer’s lane and was disqualified.

But he said his mom took him out for ice cream afterwards anyway, so it was okay. She taught him to welcome failure and get up again.

“He’s a momma’s boy, but I think we all are,” said Teagan Fail, Fail’s older sister and a 2018 UA alumna. “Our mom is practically on call for us. She’ll be there anytime, anywhere, for anything. She’s the best.”

Fail’s parents taught him to be caring, but didn’t teach dedication. According to Teagan, that is a trait particular to her younger brother that comes from a genuine love of the sport: Fail’s whole lifestyle revolves around swimming.

In high school, Fail said he would spend weeks after swim meets going over his team’s heat sheets, memorizing every swimmer’s times. He knows when someone is meeting a pace and how to push them to do their best.

Fail hopes to uplift his teammates, both by supporting them and setting an example.

“He may be one of the fastest swimmers on the team, but he doesn’t seem himself as any better,” Kaskawal said. “He wants to see everyone thrive as much as we want to see him thrive.”

Fail goes above and beyond for his teammates, Teagan said. He has a genuine love for Tucson and UA sports. He grew up watching UA swimming and dreams of restoring the sport to its glory days.

“Swimming doesn’t get a lot of recognition, they don’t get enough credit,” Teagan said.

“Brooks is super about restoring the legacy.

We grew up watching UA swimming in a swim family. He is super adamant about restoring that interest.”

Fail is unsure what the future holds. He plans on continuing his education degree and possibly pursuing speech pathology, but as a swimmer, the Olympics are certainly on his radar.

Even more than winning a championships, though, Fail said he would love to coach a swim team at either the high school or

collegiate level to thank those who helped him make it this far.

“I want to give back. I can’t thank my coaches enough. They’ve been the greatest mentors for me. If I can be that role in someone’s life, I’d love to,” Fail said. “There’s no feeling that can really describe what they give to you.”

No matter what his future entails, Fail’s peers and coaches seem to agree: He can accomplish anything he sets his mind to.

“In two years, who knows where he is going to be,” Teagan said. “He’s a ceiling-breaker.”

Kaskawal has been looking forward to seeing Fail progress as a swimmer and a person since they first met. Fail’s work ethic, combined with his genuine love of the team and the sport, has Kaskawal convinced that in the coming years, Fail could be “captainworthy”.

And Kaskawal has no doubts that Fail will prove himself; he’s got a good shot at Olympics 2020 and winning the 500 free at the NCAAs. “Actually, I don’t think he has a shot,” Kaskawal said. “I think he’s going to win. I’m pretty confident in that guy.”

Border crisis or political showmanship?

COLUMN

BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat

O

ur government has just gotten out of the longest shutdown in history, with departments employing up to 800,000 people affected either through furloughs or working without the promise of pay. For 35 days, Americans did not have a government that could maintain its promises to govern, and govern effectively, and it was all over the questions of what is happening at the border and what to do in response.

Donald Trump kicked this all off when he was presented a budget bill at the end of 2018 that did not include any money to fund a border wall between the United States and Mexico, a key campaign promise President Trump made that mobilized many Republicans in the 2016 election. In response, he refused to sign the bill, and Democrats and Republicans entered into a longwinded and embarrassing staring contest that ate up the greater part of January.

While we are now back up and running, the questions have not yet been answered. We are floating dangerously close to seeing another shutdown if we don’t kick it into high gear.

So what do Americans think is happening at the border, and what do they think we should do about it? If the polls are correct, it seems that Americans are ridiculously divided on whether it is a “crisis” or just a “problem.” According to The Hill, around 42 percent view illegal immigration at the border to be serious cause for concern, while 37 percent say it is just a problem and not worthy of shutting the government down or declaring a state of emergency.

What is important to note is that this topic is an exceptionally partisan one; the easiest way to decide where someone stands on this issue is to ask them who they voted for in 2016. A whopping 75 percent of Republicans list border security and illegal immigration to be the most important issue facing the United States, a number that dwarfs the 19 percent of Democrats who agree.

Even further, around eight out of ten

REBECCA NOBLE | THE DAILY WILDCAT

A YOUNG BOY LOOKS through the bars separating the line to cross the border from the rest of Nogales, Sonora, on Sunday, Nov. 20, 2016.

Republicans support Trump’s border wall, while nine in ten Democrats oppose it.

So if Democrats and Republicans are at each other’s throats and dead set on keeping this argument partisan, the best way to find an answer would be to look at the border states, right? They are the ones with the most vested interest in the topic, given that they are at the center of the crisis-problem and the ones feeling its effects. Which would

be a good answer, except border states are in the exact same place as the rest of America: outraged disagreement.

Pew Research Center published polls that established that proximity to the border influences your opinions towards a potential wall, but even though it drops the average support, it is not enough to put border state Republicans against the national party.

While 76 percent of Republicans in states away from the U.S.-Mexican

border support Trump’s push for a wall, only about 63 percent of Republicans in states such as California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas do.

A drop of 13 percent is nothing to laugh at, as it is a major sign that Trump’s rhetoric about illegal immigration may be missing the mark, but evidently not enough to get Republicans to change their tone, as it still means a strong majority is on Trump’s border wall bandwagon.

Democrats and Republicans have already decided their opinion towards the border crisis/problem, and no amount of facts or data will change that. So the armed camps have been established and the stage is set; there is no place for compromise.

The issue of illegal immigration is not a new response to a growing crisis, it is instead just another piece of a long political battle that neither side is ready to accept defeat to.

Although not a crisis, over half a million people were caught by border patrol agents just last year trying to illegally immigrate to the United States, and that there are an estimated 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States without citizenship or any legal recognition. And while the total numbers of illegal immigrants in the U.S. has fallen slowly over the latter half of the 2010s, we have to address the problems with our borders.

It can not be so porous that people can cross the border and live a life outside of the law and away from the U.S. institutions designed to help immigrants transition into being American citizens. And we can not continue punishing those who attempt to immigrate by following the rules and lawfully acquiring visas or green cards.

The truth about the border crisis can be found in the data from voters across the country; this is not a legitimate attempt to confront illegal immigration and its effects, it is another stage of political showmanship where Republicans will fund any bill that has the word “wall” in it and Democrats will refuse to read it.

“Scientifically rigorous hypothesis testing ... forces us to accept that we generally share both less and more mental experience with other organisms than we think.”

AMBUR WILKERSON | THE DAILY WILDCAT

SWINDLERS IS LOCATED ON University Blvd. in Main Gate Square. Swindlers does not consistently carry clothing sizes past large.

FROM PAGE 3

“As far as why business owners don’t do it, I totally understand why, because when we order a size run, it’s typically small through large, or extra small through large sometimes. And a size run, when we wanna order more than that it’s gonna cost us extra,” Keeter explained. “And so people that own a mom-and-pop shop typically do just carry small, medium, large, those three trio sizes, whereas a corporate’s going to carry a bunch, because they can afford that.”

The store manager of Pitaya, Samantha Daly, shared another reason why stores carry smaller sizes only. “That’s mainly what’s available from the vendors that we buy from,” Daly confessed.

Knowing that a corporate business can carry more size options because they have the money to do so, it’s alarming to see that one like Urban Outfitters chooses not to.

Tommy Cooper, a senior team lead at Urban Outfitters, describes the store’s style as “definitely more like skate, or like young adult, very, like, urban.” He also noted they cater to men and women and they sometimes have extra large.

Sometimes isn’t enough, and knowing Urban Outfitters has the potential funds to consistently carry plus sizes makes them appear less willing to be inclusive. Also, the fact that they serve more than one gender reveals that they’re not only leaving out plus-sized women but plus-sized men as well.

My findings provided me with more bad than good. More than half of the stores that sell clothing on University Boulevard do not cater to the plus-sized demographic. I wanted a qualified expert’s opinion on the matter. Luckily, I was able to get in touch with Lisa MacDonald, coordinator of nutrition services at the UA. Her work contributes to bettering body image on campus.

“I would hope that everyone would provide opportunity for people of all body types and sizes,” MacDonald said. “I absolutely think [lack of plussizes in clothing stores] could be detrimental to self-esteem and body image issues.”

I can attest to MacDonald’s views.

I know that not having many options to choose from was very unsettling for me during my teen years. I don’t want other girls like me, and boys as well, to go through the sadness and isolation I felt while growing up.

No matter what excuse a business has for not including plus sizes, at the end of the day, an excuse is just an excuse, a string of words used to cover up flaws and mistakes. While four stores on University Boulevard are providing hope and inclusion for bigger bodies, the other six still have work to do. Based on their excuses, it sounds like it’s hard to serve a variety of body types, but I can assure you it’s not as hard as being plus sized in a small-minded world.
