With the statistics of homeless youth throughout Pima County, Calderon said that not every homeless youth is going to take a survey and be honest about their situations.

So the topic of homeless youth among the homeless youth themselves is not even talked about much. And that is not because they don’t want to, it’s because “they’re possibly afraid,” Calderon said. “Possibly afraid that they are going to be taken away from their home or their life. They don’t want to be put into the system.”

I don’t necessarily think that youth homelessness should be normalized, but I do think that the topic itself should be addressed more to fight the negative stereotype and that there should be more attention brought to resources like Youth on Their Own. The prevalenceof youth homelessness does not seem like a reality to most people — even the youth themselves.

ow old do you think the average homeless person is?

You were thinking people in their 20s or 30s, right? Older?

In 2015 on First Focus on Children, Alex Rosen, manager of the Chapman Partnership Homeless Service in Miami, Fla., said that the average age of a homeless person in the U.S. is 11 years old.

Homeless youth are simply not talked about or acknowledged enough throughout society, yet pose a problem throughout the U.S. Chosen among 22 other communities nationwide, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has given Pima County a grant of $4.5 million to help community efforts to end youth homelessness throughout the community.

This grant will be able to fund more housing options for homeless youth under

it. Homelessness in young people is so much more subtle and undetectable because of this stereotype that is carried throughout society.

This stereotype is probably what makes it so hard for these youths to ask for help and possibly contributes to the general lack of news coverage on the issue.

During the 2016-17 school year, according to public school data reported to the United States Department of Education, there was an estimated 24,770 Arizona public school students experiencing homelessness over the school year.

According to KGUN-TV, Pima County has about 5,600 homeless students, with 1,200 of those students being enrolled throughout the Tucson Unified School District.

In regards to youth homelessness being talked about in the news media, Marketing and Outreach manager Katrina Calderon from Youth on Their Own said, “I don’t think it’s something that Arizona itself has actually locked down.”

Youth on Their Own is a drop out prevention organization that aids homeless youth from sixth to eighth grade. They provide help in three ways: financial assistance, basic human needs — such as food and hygiene

the age of 25. The Tucson Pima Collaboration to End Homelessness will be running the project, which is expected to launch within the year, according to Patch Media.

“As of January 2019, Arizona had an estimate of 10,007 people experiencing homelessness on any given day,” according to the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. Of that total, 587 were unaccompanied young adults.

The definition of “young adult” varies. The definition of “youth” by the United Nations includes people as old as 24, for example.

But what about youths under the age of 18?

What about the homeless youth in schools or trying to stay in school?

Unaccompanied youth are people who are not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian, including those who have run away or been forced to leave their homes, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty.

When people think of homelessness, they rarely think of people under the age of 24.

They mostly think of adults out on the streets, maybe bundled up in non-matching layers.

We don’t really see these homeless young people because we don’t necessarily recognize

ARTS & LIFE | MUSIC

Local musician a finalist for Gov. award

BY ELLA MCCARVILLE @EllaMccarville

Quiahuitl Villegas knew she had become a Governor’s Arts Awards finalist when the announcer admitted he would have difficulty saying her name.

Villegas is a local percussionist with Yaqui and Mayo roots, the drummer for the Tucson band Taco Sauce and a member of the music collective Sonido Tambó, which focuses on a specific style of border music with roots in Colombia, called Cumbia.

According to the Arizona Citizens for the Arts website, the Governor’s Arts Awards “reflect more than three decades of the best in Arizona’s arts and culture community and the magnificent contributions they’ve made to our state’s arts and cultural heritage.”

As one of two Tucson artist finalists for the Governor’s Arts Awards, Villegas’ work and community involvement will be reviewed on three specific criteria, as listed by Arizona Citizens for the Arts: the weight of her achievements, the range of her influence and the “degree to which the nominee is dedicated to the arts.” She needs to not only have great artistry but also impact her community.

University of Arizona alumna Yurika Isoe is a member of Arizona Citizens for the Arts, one of the organizations that hosts the awards alongside the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Office of the Governor of Arizona. Isoe explained their “job [at Arizona Citizens for the Arts] is to persuade lawmakers to fund the arts.”

Villegas has a history in music education at local schools, where funding for the arts has been a constant barrier.

“Accessibility is always the biggest issue,” Villegas said.

“That’s like the biggest barrier, I think, along with already having to teach kids how to play and read music and all these things. Because at the

end of the day, it helps to have good equipment.”

For Villegas, becoming a finalist for the Governor’s Arts Awards was encouraging because she said she realized that the work she does, whether or not the funding comes through, helps people and she is being recognized for that.

“The work that I do and winning that award kind of gave me a boost of selfconfidence because I had been in and out of finding funding, and I just kind of got tired of it,” Villegas said.

Music education is just one aspect of Villegas’ qualifications for this award.

As she became more involved in her professional work with education, she developed a program to teach elementary students about percussion and drumming. She quickly

realized the benefits her drumming program had on students.

“That was really cool because the assumption is that kids that have behavioral issues can’t do anything besides act out,” Villegas said.

“So, we proved them all wrong, and they were playing drums and they’re playing these really complex rhythms.”

When Villegas took a break from teaching, she was working closely with the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation and discovered something groundbreaking about her gender identity. “[The Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation] opened up my eyes to my trans-ness,” Villegas said. “It helped me be more comfortable with myself.

I was still non-binary back then. And then after I left that job, I was like, whoa — I’m

fucking trans. Like whoa, this is like a reality to me now.”

For Villegas, music isn’t just an educational tool, but a method of safe self-expression.

Villegas professed that her experiences onstage gave her an outlet to explore her identity in a controlled environment where she felt at home. “[Sonido Tambó] really gave me a place to experiment,” Villegas said. “We’re onstage, even though it can notoriously be unsafe at a club. I was onstage, I’m still onstage and I’m away from the masses. No one bothers me up there. I am very safe, there are security guards. Everyone knows who I am. So, I’m able to just wear whatever I want.”

According to Villegas’ nominator, artist and former UA student Jennifer Skinner, Villegas’ consideration for others in her community was

part of the reason she was nominated for the award in the first place.

“It was the least that I could do for all the great things that she’s made me feel in her artistry and me, creating spaces for me to feel comfortable [in] as a Latinx queer person,” Skinner said.

“It’s important to recognize the people who make us feel comfortable in our own skin, and she’s definitely one of those people that I found here in Tucson.

The final Governor’s Arts Awards recipients will be announced at the 2020 Governor’s Arts Awards Gala on March 26 at the Mesa Arts Center.

Get to know the ASUA presidential candidates The Associated Students of the University of Arizona held its primary elections last week, and two of the three presidential candidates have moved further in the process.

Rocque Perez Perez is currently running for ASUA president, running on the platforms of equity and student wellness, marketing and communications and local government and community engagement.

Perez is a currently a student body senator and has held a position for multiple years now.

“As a Student Body Senator, I addressed … student concerns, found solutions for bigger issues, and worked to make tangible differences within and around the campus community,” Perez said in an email.

Perez said he wants to be president to have a voice for the people who might not have their voices heard all the time.

He said in an email that he believes it is the duty of the student body president “to speak up for those needs, account for them at an administrative level and identify solutions that address the needs of each and every individual in a manner that works for them.”

In his time in student government, Perez has worked on a myriad of different resolutions, including working with Veterans Education & Transition Services and President Dr. Robert C. Robbins to get the UA recognized as a Purple Heart University. Perez helped work on the Census Project, which made the UA the first campus in the nation to develop and introduce a campuswide census to

Singleton is focused on student activity with voting on the national and local level.

Singleton is currently running for student body president, on three main platforms: civic engagement, impact of involvement and transparency and visibility.

Foremost, Singleton hopes to get more college students to vote by engaging in national and local politics. Singleton’s second focus is to make a positive impact on students by giving equal access to involvement opportunities to each student.

Ultimately, Singleton wishes to encompass her goal to improve communication between the student body and ASUA, with hopes that students can express their concerns and ideas so that ASUA can serve every student on campus.

After graduation, Perez could see himself continuing to work in the UA Office of Government and Community Relations and the Office of Multicultural Advancement, working on behalf of the UA president’s key community initiatives and helping amass scholarship money for our in-need student communities.

“I really got my heart set on continuing in a greater capacity,” Perez said in an email.

“I’d love to work for one of our in-state public universities and continue making those connections between UA and the greater State of Arizona.”

Perez is a junior majoring in political science with an emphasis in American politics and public relations.

Singleton explained that she plans to serve students’ needs by centralizing resources.

“The student government should serve not only those involved in it but every student on campus … Many student populations access similar resources that are spread out across campus,” Singleton said over email. “I hope to coordinate these efforts and consolidate resources into one easily accessible place. Overall, I want to empower ASUA leaders to serve by reaching out, rather than just looking internally.”

Singleton has been apart of ASUA for the past three years serving as the head of elections and policy committee as a senator. This past year Singleton worked with ASUA’s Programs and Services, serving as administrative chief of staff to Administrative Vice President Kate

NEWS | INCLUSIVE EVENT

Health symposium sheds light on inclusivity in health care

BY SAM BURDETTE @SuperSafetySam

On Saturday, Feb. 22, the University of Arizona Health Sciences’ Office of Diversity and Inclusion hosted its second annual LGBTQ+ National Symposium and Community Health Fair at the UAHS Wellness Walkway on the health sciences campus from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event was created to show the importance of inclusivity in health treatment, particularly to people on the health sciences campus.

“How can you fully treat a person properly if you don’t have their full identity of who they are and they don’t feel comfortable sharing their full identity of who they are with you?” said Lydia Kennedy, senior director of UAHS’ Office of Diversity and Inclusion, who called the event her “brainchild.”

When asked who the symposium was for, Kennedy responded quickly with “everyone,” explaining the importance of educating people on inclusive healthcare through a personal anecdote.

“I just went to a … first primary visit with a primary care physician,” Kennedy said. “I go into the room and then she starts asking me all these questions of gender identity, sexual orientation and then her comment proceeds to be: … ‘These questions are ridiculous. I hate asking people these questions. I’m sorry I have to ask you these.’ … And this is Feb. 21, 2020, and she was clear about her feelings toward those questions.”

Violet Siwik, co-chair of the UAHS LGBTQ+ Interest Group, which hosted the event, also spoke to providing an inclusive environment in health care.

“We impose so many of our beliefs … of sexuality,” she said. “This [event] is something everyone should have exposure to.”

Kennedy said the symposium was designed to be inclusive with presentations from many experts on different aspects of inclusive health care, including a keynote speech called “Supportive Environment for Those Providing Care” from Dr. Gabriel Sarah, an associate clinical professor in the University of California, San Francisco’s Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care.

Other presentations included “Re-Membering Indigenous Two-Spirits” by Nicholas Wilson from UA Native American Student Affairs and an LGBTQ+ youth panel to discuss some experiences of members of the community and how to be supportive.

Booths were also set up in Drachman Hall, which provided information for those in health sciences and people within the LGBTQ+ community. The booths ranged from information for LGBTQ+ business owners to advice on adopting a pet from the Humane Society.

“I want as many and all LGBTQ+ organizations and even allies to be here, to be that support network, to be that support system so [people] find everyone and they are aware of the resources in our community,” Kennedy said.

One booth gave information on a transgender support group called “Journeys: Exploration of Gender,” a group connected with the Southern Arizona Gender Alliance.

Danny Simms, a representative from the support group who helped manage the booth, said their main goal was “showing support and that we are out there and there is a place that transgender people can go to to get the support that they need.”

He went on to say, “It’s nice to know that the healthcare

system is trying to branch out and be more supportive.”

Another booth from Tucson’s Rising Phoenix Fitness and Self Defense promoted their Rainbow Connection Self-Defense Program, which “caters to LGBTQ people and allies and other marginalized people in Tucson,” according to Tylar Zinn, the self-defense coach for the program.

“We really focus on being trauma-aware. We teach consent and boundary setting. We teach a lot of different classes like self defense for bathrooms, addressing bullies — a lot of it is based on potential hate crimes,” Zinn said.

“It’s really confidence building, and people find it kind

of therapeutic to take on that empowerment and being doing something for themselves.”

According to Kennedy, she would eventually like to expand the event nationally and further spread the information the symposium provides.

“It’s raising awareness, it’s providing education, it’s providing visibility,” Kennedy said. “It’s helping our community and national reputation, recognizing the importance of inclusive health care.”

A MINIATURE FROM A tabletop game. Tucson Games and Gadgets holds a “Miniature Mayhem” event every Sunday, noon to 6 p.m., that invites new and veteran players to play some games with miniatures and strategy.

tucson games and gadgets: a nerd’s haven

BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla

Tucson Games and Gadgets is a haven for gamers, geeks and everyone in between. The local game shop has two locations at the Park Place and Tucson malls that offer a community game space and products for anyone looking to dive into the world of gaming.

Both store locations have wall-to-wall arrays of tabletop games and a community space where anybody can simply sit down and play for free. From classics like chess or checkers, to fantasy favorites like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, to even party games like Cards Against Humanity, there is truly a game for everyone.

Mark Kadow, the owner of the two stores, started the business roughly five years ago. Kadow said he always loved tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons and wanted to try something new, so he built a business to support the gaming community.

“My goal is to bring entertainment. I love entertainment,” Kadow said. “I want to make a fun, safe entertainment environment here in Tucson.”

Each location has a different theme. The Tucson Mall location emanates a dark dungeon, “old age” vibe, while the Park Place location has a sci-fi theme that leans towards a more sterile-looking environment. The walls are filled floor-to-ceiling with games, memorabilia, posters and miscellaneous artifacts from the gaming world.

Kadow discussed how employees encourage people to support the store by buying snacks or games if they intend to stay and play, but he stressed that the aim is to build a community of people who love games.

Thai Moberly, one of the managers of Tucson Games and Gadgets, has been working there for about a year and

two months.

Moberly claimed he was hired through a very unique interview process. Kadow asked Moberly to come to the store and Moberly played a board game for about two and a half hours with people, unaware that they were really employees.

“I fell in love with it, to where there is no way I could stay away. I ended up just running with it,” Moberly said.

Moberly is primarily in charge of Magic: The Gathering events, one of his favorite games, but is also in charge of organizing and setting up events for both locations.

According to Moberly, organizing events is one of the more challenging aspects of the job.

“It’s a very active community. I have to stay ahead of that curve,” Moberly said. “I have to find ways of marketing so that I keep these people coming in.”

Moberly explained there is extensive planning over social media and the store can get up to seven new customers each week looking to try something new.

“It’s just a lot of note taking, a lot of micromanagement, while still being appropriate, being conductive,” Moberly said. “You are not going out and generating friction. You’re going out and you’re working with the environment and the attitude that they already have, and you’re trying to find a way to get them to support us at the same time.”

Moberly spoke extensively about different events that take place each day, like Saturday night board games, Dungeons & Dragons sessions, College Night, Ladies Night and so many more.

“Every one of our employees we consider as a performer, you know, they all have their own personalities,” Kadow said.

Two longtime customers of Tucson Games and Gadgets, husband and wife James and Kellie Springer, have always loved being a part of the culture at the store. The two of them love role playing games and the private rooms at the store

gave them a space to just play and be together.

“One of the reasons that I stayed with [Tucson Games and Gadgets] was that it’s much more female friendly,” Kellie Springer said. “My husband used to run Ladies Night for lady gamers. People would say, ‘What? Women don’t game.’ And no, lots of women game.”

According to Moberly, the entire business is about creating space for everyone and anyone who is interested. Moberly also discussed how gaming stores are dying, and their method of business sets them apart and keeps the stores alive. Community is the backbone of Tucson Games and Gadgets.

“We encourage loitering more than anything,” Moberly said. “We want you to be comfortable enough to come in here with your friends and family and just grab a board game down and play for two hours.”

OPINION | RESOURCES

Water conservation in Arizona just got worse

BY CHUCK VALADEZ @DailyWildcat

I

n the upcoming election, climate change and environmental protections are among the top concerns for many individuals. During the Trump administration, we’ve seen many environmental regulations rolled back in the name of progressing our economy. National Parks, such as the famous Bears Ears in our neighboring Utah, have been cut drastically and opened up to the mining of precious minerals.

Here in Arizona, not only have the Trump administration decisions put us in grave danger, but our state has set itself up for the depletion of the most precious resource in the desert: clean water. This has been the result of a decades-long process of suburban expansion.

The Trump administration recently

THE DAILY WILDCAT

BECAUSE IT’S BASKETBALL SEASON AND...

BECAUSE THIS DOMESTIC CAT TOLD YOU SO...

rolled back the regulations that were in place under the Clean Water Act’s expansion under President Barack Obama. Policies under the Obama administration expanded the act put into place in 1972 to include streams and wetlands, preventing them from being polluted or filled in during development projects. These protected waterways included seasonal streams and washes that are prevalent throughout Arizona in the months with higher levels of precipitation.

The Trump administration’s adaptations to the interpretation of the Clean Water Act’s reach will not protect these bodies of water (other than the wetlands directly adjacent to the Colorado River). As much as 94% of the state’s waterways could become unprotected, according to an EPA report.

This will allow them to be developed upon and polluted if companies seek to pursue endeavors in the region.

Though they may not be a large source of water for our state, they are still important to our way of life. The water of seasonal streams seeps into the ground

and adds to groundwater that is used throughout the state.

The new interpretation not only puts the people dependent upon the water sources of more arid states in danger, but the many forms of wildlife that depend upon them as well. There are many species that thrive in these areas, such as rare and endangered species that may soon be facing extinction.

With less protected waterways, the state is in dire need of water conservation, though the constant suburbanization on the outskirts of our state’s major cities makes it difficult to stretch the resource.

As of 1993, the state has allowed private developers to pursue groundwater that is more than 1,000 feet deep to serve the homes on the outskirts of Phoenix and Tucson, according to the Arizona Daily Star. This has brought about concerns from hydrologists, as the water tables are now falling and this leads to an increased chance of the ground collapsing. So, in order to offset the pumping, the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District water district was created and became a part of the Central Arizona Project.

This potable water is often coming from the Colorado River and the Gila River Indian Community (the tribe controls the largest water right in the state, under the Central Arizona Project).

According to the Star, the recent deal with the Gila River Indian Community will give these projects 900,000 acres of water for the next 25 years.

The system used is unsustainable over a longer period of time, and currently 30% of the subdivisions are dependent upon this project, according to the Star.

This number continues to rise putting even more of a strain upon a system that is not necessarily stable.

Eventually, we must come to a point where we think of new ways to provide this water or put a halt to suburban expansion. The desert has never been known for an ample source of water; we as inhabitants must learn to adapt to the climate rather than abuse the land to suit our needs.

No horsing around with the UA rodeo team

BY SUNDAY HOLLAND @sunday_holland

Everyone knows the University of Arizona has basketball teams and many people have heard of the UA Quidditch team, but most people don’t know that the UA has a rodeo team.

Members of the rodeo team held flags on horseback at the beginning of the Tucson Rodeo Parade on Thursday, Feb. 20. The parade is known as the “largest NonMotorized Parade in the U.S.,” according to the Tucson Rodeo Parade website.

As La Fiesta de los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo comes to a close, rodeo culture is stepping out of the limelight until this time next year. But not the UA’s intercollegiate rodeo team.

For Sarah Nelson, a UA senior studying animal sciences with an equine emphasis,

the responsibilities and work involved with participating in rodeo competitions last all year long.

“To be in rodeo competitions, you have to take care of your own horse, gear and cover transportation to the events,” Nelson said.

“You have to feed your horse every morning and night and ride your horse every day to keep them in shape.”

Nelson has been president of the rodeo team for the past two years and has been riding horses for her entire life.

“We love being a part of the parade,” Nelson said. “It’s a tradition that we’re the color guard, and we are proud to keep going.”

According to Nelson, the rodeo team is one of the oldest intercollegiate rodeo teams in the country. The competitions include events like bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping, bull riding and tie down roping.

“My favorite thing about riding a horse is that it’s second nature to me,” Nelson said.

“It’s relaxing and clears my mind.”

The rodeo team’s secretary, April Pahi, has similar sentiments. She has been involved in rodeo since she was about 6 years old and is a UA junior studying veterinary science.

She said that her favorite thing about riding is that when you’re in the sport, you gain a strong connection with your horse.

“What’s really amazing is the community that gets together,” Pahi said. “Everyone should come watch rodeo it’s an electrifying experience.”

According to Pahi and Nelson, whether you’ve never been to a rodeo, or you’re an avid fan, you can watch the team compete on Saturday, March 14, at the Pima County Fairgrounds. Slack, an event in which extra contestants participate, is at 9:00 a.m. and the rodeo performance is at 2:00 p.m.

“I would recommend that people come and see the performance,” Pahi said. “That’s the time when everyone is watching from the stands, and it usually lasts about an hour.”

Tanner Lyman, a UA senior studying agriculture technology and management, has been involved with rodeo for his whole life.

“You can always teach your horse something new,” Lyman said. “It’s cool to see them transform from when they start to when you finish training them. I also love all of the people that you meet.”

The UA Rodeo Team competes yearround, participating in four fall events and six in the spring. A few of their members compete in the Grand Canyon region.

“Being in the rodeo is very humbling,” Nelson said. “It is such a family atmosphere, and even though it’s a competition, everyone is so supportive of each other.”

NEWS | OPPORTUNITY

UA student lands Brooke Owens Fellowship

BY GABRIELLA COBIAN @GabriellaCobian

Brooke Owens Fellow Lindsey Koelbel, an aerospace engineering major at the University of Arizona, expects to intern at HawkEye 360 this coming summer.

Koelbel decided to come to the UA because of the College of Engineering, which offers an aerospace-specific degree. Originally planning to leave the state, Koelbel said she feels extremely fortunate with her decision to go to the UA because of its affordability, resources and opportunities. Koelbel says her interest in the STEM field started at a young age with a “knack” for puzzles and problem-solving.

“I applied for this fellowship in November,” Koelbel said in an email. “The first round was to be selected as a semifinalist based on the application alone. I wrote an essay, created a video, a comic book, and gathered 3 letters of recommendation. … Then, when I was selected as a finalist, I was matched with 4 companies.”

Koelbel explained she was chosen to be a semifinalist, then interviewed by a member of the Brooke Owens selection committee.

Koelbel was selected as a finalist, which in turn

led to numerous interviews by companies and departments. Ultimately, she was selected for HawkEye 360, taking part in a program dedicated to assisting women and genderminority students in aerospace.

Cassie Lee, co-founder of the Brooke Owens Fellowship, said the fellowship is delighted to have Koelbel as a fellow for the 2020 class.

“We are confident that she will be an asset to her Host Institution, HawkEye360, and make a meaningful contribution to her cohort of extraordinary women in aerospace,” Lee said in an email.

Once she arrived at the UA, Koelbel had the chance to meet Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator for the Osiris-REx mission. Lauretta offered Koelbel a job working for a small satellite technology project.

Koelbel saw a flyer hung around the aerospace building during her sophomore year, and upon applying to the Brooke Owens Fellowship she realized the possibilities it had. Before being selected as a finalist, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center offered to host Koelbel for the summer through a small satellite project.

Last summer, Koelbel studied

field-programmable gate array design and basic machine learning. During this time, Koelbel felt she didn’t have much engineering experience, yet she still planned to pursue her passion for programming and computer science with the experience she obtained at NASA. Koelbel explained the additional steps she took to become a Brooke Owens Fellow.

“Upon returning for my junior year, I additionally started research with the Turbulence and Flow Control Laboratory under Jesse Little,” Koelbel said in the email. “I have been able to help with testing in the supersonic wind tunnel and work on some engineering specific projects. With this experience under my belt, I reapplied to the Brooke Owens Fellowship again. After an intense application and interview process, I was selected among 40 outstanding gender minority students as a class of 2020 Brookie. I feel incredibly lucky to stand among these impressive people.”

Kara Koelbel, Lindsey Koelbel’s mother, expressed her excitement for the fellowship acknowledging her daughter’s hard work and dedication.

“She has a stellar work ethic as well as a kind and helpful can do approach,” Kara Koelbel

said in an email. “We have no doubt this fellowship [is] going to be [an] exciting next step into her career in aerospace.”

Lindsey Koelbel is set to work for HawkEye 360 from May to August of 2020 in the Virginia, District of Columbia area. The fellowship entails a summit meeting during July, in which all fellows across the nation are to meet. Lindsey Koelbel expects to connect with cohorts, professionals and industry members from the aerospace field at the summit.

Mentors in the aerospace field will pair with Lindsey Koelbel to give advice as she makes progress in her career. Being a part of the fellowship means Lindsey Koelbel can connect with alumni of the program.

Lindsey Koelbel is still deciding what she would like to go into, with the chance to see the industry of the aerospace field she feels excitement for the fellowship.

“As of now, I would say that I’m interested in satellite technology and development,” Lindsey Koelbel said in an email. “I know that I definitely [want] programming to play a role in my future career, but I would still love to use engineering and design skills in my future job.”

OPINION | INCLUSIVITY

UA is more accepting of all gender identities

BY RHAYA TRUMAN @mygrhaya

E

arlier this semester I had to take a yearly survey that the University of Arizona sends out to all students. I don’t remember exactly what the survey was for, but I do remember how surprised I was at the amount of options there was under the gender category. On most of the school-administered surveys I have taken there were three options: male, female and other, which sometimes included the ability to type in your own personal answer and sometimes didn’t.

For some, this “other” option may seem like enough, but to people who do not fall under the two categories of male and female, being labeled “other” isn’t the nicest feeling. When people add this category to surveys, it’s just another way of saying they care enough to not force you to choose between two genders but not enough to create a list that could possibly include your identity. Having only male and female as the

definitive choices creates a narrative that the gender dichotomy is the expected way to go.

Granted, a lot of people identify with cisgender female and cisgender male, but not everyone. Just because something is the majority does not mean that they have the right to be the only ones acknowledged.

For example, the gender movement is very similar to the sexuality movement, which was mainstreamed when same-sex marriage became legalized in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. Companies and organizations started to add sexualities like bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual and more to surveys. Sure, heterosexual was still the majority, but that didn’t stop more people from being represented. Why should it be any different with gender?

Just like race and sexuality, there are a lot of different gender identities. And I understand the argument that there are so many new identities being accepted every day and sometimes it can be hard to “keep up,” but if an organization, like a university, prides itself on being inclusive, I think it is important for them to try to reach every category and stray away from the label of “other” in any scenario because it is insensitive and lazy.

I am proud to say that this whole semester

almost all of the surveys I have taken had upwards of six options for gender identity.

Some of these included transgender female, transgender male, non-binary, cisgender male, cisgender female, gender fluid, gender queer, transsexual and gender nonconforming. For me, personally, I quickly chose cisgender female because that is my identity, but I found it amazing that the UA understands everyone deserves to be able to check their own box rightfully and confidently.

Now, a lot of people still believe that there are only two genders and there is no such thing as anything in-between. Despite your opinion on gender as a whole, I think it is reasonable to understand why it is essential for the UA to include these new categories in their vocabulary. Since this is an institution primarily for younger people, the UA has to be able to keep up with how the world is changing when it comes to gender, sexuality, race and other identities.

Another example that I have seen that shows the UA becoming more accepting of gender identities is acknowledgement of pronouns. Whenever I go to a club and sometimes even a new class, professors or the supervisor will ask for pronouns in the introductions. It has quickly become a

normal part of getting to know someone.

Although some people could see asking for pronouns as invasive, I see it as the UA being considerate of how students express themselves.

If someone wants to be addressed as their name, they can. If they want to be addressed as she or her, they can. If they want to be addressed as he or him, they can. Because of our growing and developing society, asking questions like pronouns is essential because you can no longer look at someone and assume their gender identity. Asking that one simple question can make someone feel welcomed and accepted.

Every small gesture counts when it comes to making people feel validated and comfortable in their own skin. Regardless of your opinion on gender and the normalization of different gender identities, it is impressive that the UA is deciding to take a new perspective and become more inclusive when it comes to gender expression and identity.

In just three years, Arizona women’s basketball has gone from basement dwellers to top 15 COLUMN

BY JUSTIN PIERCE @jpiercesd

A

t the start of the 2016-17 season, Adia Barnes took over Arizona’s women’s basketball after spending five seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Washington. Barnes and Arizona have had a good history.

Barnes has been one of the most decorated players in Arizona’s history.

She was picked 32nd in the Women’s National Basketball Association Draft and spent about seven seasons in the WNBA before going overseas to continue her professional basketball career in several different countries.

Just like many former Arizona basketball players, Barnes spent some time doing basketball commentary, as she became the color commentator for radio coverage on the Seattle Storm in 2007. Barnes had spent her last three WNBA seasons with this team as a player.

After starting her college coaching career with Washington, Barnes came to Arizona to revamp the program. In Barnes’ first season with the program, the Wildcats went 14-16 and finished with a 5-13 record in the conference.

The attendance at the games were downright dead. There were just under 2,000 people going to each game. Meanwhile, the men’s team was doing great with two players drafted into the NBA that year and making the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

The following season for the women’s team went completely downhill from the previous year. They hit a new rock bottom and finished 6-24 on the season, winning just two PAC-12 games that year. After that season, Barnes had a new wave of talent come in and take over Arizona.

NEWS | NEW AREA OF STUDY

Humanities adds emphasis in video game studies

BY SYDNEY JONES @sydney_jones21

The University of Arizona is joining over 400 other United States colleges and universities by offering an emphasis in game studies for a Bachelor of Arts in applied humanities by the Department of Public and Applied Humanities starting in fall 2020, according to a UA press release.

The new emphasis in the applied humanities major will focus on the cultural, industrial and artistic importance of video games throughout the years and offer a variety of classes related to video game history and development.

Judd Ruggill is the head of the Department of Public and Applied Humanities and was involved in querying students and faculty to see what they’re interested in.

“The reason that we’re starting [a game studies emphasis] is there’s student interest, faculty expertise and really it’s time for the University of Arizona to join the many other universities around the country, and indeed the world, to offer this kind of concentration,” Ruggill said.

Ken McAllister is an associate dean of

research and program innovation and a professor in the College of Humanities. He notes that the UA program is distinct from others in that it’s a game studies program and not a game development one.

“Game development curricula are actually quite common. You go into those programs and learn how to design and build games, and you might learn how to do some project management. Our program is, in a way, on the other side,” McAllister said. “It’s about studying the game industry, and it really dives into histories, stories, industrial cultures and fan cultures. It’s really trying to understand the phenomenon of video and computer games historically and culturally.”

McAllister and Ruggill are also codirectors for the Learning Games Initiative Research Archive, an expansive collection of over 250,000 items including but not limited to video and computer games, systems and memorabilia from recent decades.

According to the archive’s website, LGIRA was founded in 1999 as a transdisciplinary, multi-institutional research group that studies gaming, teaches with gaming technology and builds computer games. The collection now has the distinction of being one of the largest

gaming archives in the Americas.

“That’s kind of another piece of the ‘Why now?’ We have this tremendous resource that, really, other programs don’t. So it’s a great opportunity to put that to use,” Ruggill said.

“The students can have firsthand experiences with things they’ve only read about or only heard about. And here on campus, they have a chance to interact with them.”

Classes offered for the game studies emphasis include looking at video games as artifacts and appreciating interactive multimedia entertainment, global video game cultures and their origins, the video game industry and how to make money with play and introductions to game design and development.

“It’s also appealing in its capacity to be a double or triple major with people who are maybe looking to go into the field of law, business, art, music or computer science,” McAllister said. “All of those professional areas blend quite well with a degree in game studies where you can learn about the aesthetics, cultures, languages and histories behind this important, relatively new medium.”

According to Ruggill, the game industry is “one of the most robust of the media

industries,” with jobs needed throughout the entire process of creating and playing a game.

“Typically, when people think of working in the game industry, they think of designing, programming or developing games. But there are a host of those careers besides that,” Ruggill said. “There are people who manage the design and development of games, quality assurance folks who make sure the product meets market standards before it goes out the door and community managers who manage the online communities associated with games. There are folks who work in the legal profession, because there are all kinds of legal aspects to consider, from copyright protection to intellectual property concerns.”

For those involved in the new degree emphasis, video games are more than just a collection of artifacts or a fun pastime.

“It’s a multibillion-dollar industry that involves so many different disciplines and fields of expertise,” McAllister said. “And on top of that, it’s fun — or at least can be — and they’re good at bringing people together and getting people to think.”

If you read Police Beat, you know alcohol is a common factor behind the noteworthy reports published in it. Alcohol introduces all different types of personas, from bizarre to funny to angry and, in this case, all too aggressive.

According to the report made on Feb. 8, two officers were dispatched to Mohave Residence Hall to make contact with a particularly belligerent female student who was causing problems in the lobby. Another officer had been at the dormitory dealing with a separate investigation when the student had started causing a disturbance.

The two officers tried to speak with the student who refused to identify herself and was described as “severely intoxicated” with “extremely slurred and disjointed speech.”

At this point, she fell out of a chair and just lay on the ground.

One of the officers proceeded to speak with the desk assistant when he heard a loud crash and saw that the student had started becoming aggressive with the other officer, who was now attempting to handcuff her.

The other officer jumped in to help when the student threw all her weight down to pull herself to the ground in an attempt to not be restrained. The officer that had been there for the other investigation was forced to also jump in and help at this point, since she had begun kicking the two officers. She continued kicking them, leaving a bruise on one officer’s knee. Even after she had been ordered to “stop kicking,” she did not, leaving them no choice but to put her in leg restraints to prevent further injury to herself and the officers. She was then carried to the patrol car and buckled in, where she slid down under the seat belt and would refuse to sit upright.

During transportation to Pima County Jail, she only said two words to the officers, a favorite phrase for the belligerently angry, while also carrying out a conversation with someone who was not in the car. She continued to

Getting things stolen from your car will most likely happen to all of us once in our lifetimes. It’s already happened to me twice — cars are an easy target. Stealing wallets, purses, stereos, electronics, etc. is expected when we think of larceny from a vehicle. One University of Arizona student probably didn’t ever think he’d have to make this report though.

According to the police report on Feb. 3, an officer was dispatched to Lot 2147, the parking lot next to Highland Garage on Cherry Avenue, responding to a report of a stolen license plate. The student had parked his vehicle there the evening before at 5 p.m., but when he returned to his car the next afternoon, his license plate had vanished.

He reported not having seen anyone in the area, let alone anyone suspicious. The student chose not to press criminal charges if the license plate nabber was found.

One of the scariest situations someone can probably think of is a building fire, which is less common than you would think since so many people nowadays are taught basic things to avoid starting fires and take the necessary precautions. Even with so much precaution, some factors are just out of our control, like an exploding light bulb.

According to the police report on Feb. 7, three officers and a police aide responded to a call from La Aldea apartment complex on campus where a building fire had been reported.

One of the officers and the police aide were directed to a specific apartment that the fire was coming from, but the door was locked. They attempted to kick it in, not knowing if there were residents inside, and requested breaching tools when these attempts did not work.

While breaching, the officers were informed by another officer that the residents of the apartment were with him and that the fire had been caused by an exploding light bulb in the bathroom, which, in turn, caused the exhaust vent to catch on fire. The Tucson Fire Department arrived on the scene and made sure the fire was extinguished while also removing the exhaust vent and part of the ceiling to examine further fire hazards.

The residents of the apartment were temporarily moved to an apartment in the same building and were offered services from CAPS and Residence Life while the repairs are being done to their apartment.
