EDITORIAL

Lack of student involvement is a campuswide trend; It’s time to do more

BY DAILY WILDCAT OPINIONS BOARD @DailyWildcat

T

he Daily Wildcat recently reported that the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the UA’s undergraduate student government body, is facing low student interest with multiple seats, including all three executive offices, running unopposed. Unfortunately, this seems to be a campuswide trend.

The Daily Wildcat is no stranger to lack of student engagement. We have struggled for years to remind the campus community of our value and find new and creative ways to present the news that matters to students. Over the years, the Daily Wildcat has not only experienced a decline in readership but also a decline in students who are interested in working for our organization.

What about ZonaZoo? The Arizona women’s basketball team is heading to the Sweet 16 for the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, making this the first time in eight years they will advance to postseason play. While boasting its title as the two-time NCSSA Student Section of the Year, the ZonaZoo’s presence at Arizona women’s basketball games has been nothing short of disappointing.

We here at the Daily Wildcat want to remind students that you have the power and ability to shape your university experience, and that means getting involved and engaging with your campus community.

Only about 10 to 15 percent of the student population votes in the ASUA elections every year, and this is the first year since 2010 where there is only a single candidate for UA student body president. Just like any election, lack of participation means lack of representation. When students choose not to participate in student government, our diverse campus population does not get the representation it deserves.

If you’ve ever been frustrated about tuition increases or lack of campus resources, you should be voting in your campus elections. If you’ve ever been angry about lack of diversity or minority representation in leadership, you should be running to fill those seats.

For us here at the Daily Wildcat, representation is also a vital part of what we do. In order to fairly and accurately represent our campus, as all good journalists should do, we need a staff with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We aim to provide the news that is important, relevant and represents the many communities that call the University of Arizona home, but we can’t do that without you.

More than that, we are here to be your watchdogs. We make sure your university is serving you in the most honest and transparent way possible. To continue to make this happen, we need students to engage with our content and tell us what they want out of their campus newspaper. We are here to serve you, but we need to hear from you, too.

While students should be doing more to be active members of their community, we also want to recognize that student organizations can also be doing more to promote outreach and to ensure their organizations are accessible to all students.

It’s no longer enough to simply promise to work on outreach. Without student input and participation, these organizations, including the Daily Wildcat, will cease to exist.

Together, we can take our university back. We can put decisions back into the hands of students and continue to build a university by students and for students.

Demanding more from our university is not only a right, it’s an obligation. So do your part, make your voice heard and become an active participant in your educational experience.

Your 2019 ASUA executive officers

Sydney Hess

Bennett Adamson

Student Body President

Kate Rosenstengel

Executive VP

Hess was elected as student body president, receiving 1,337 votes total. She is a junior studying philosophy, politics, economics and law (PPEL).

Hess has previously served as president of her Freshman Class Council, and she then served as a student body senator her sophomore year. She’s currently serving as Kate Rosenstengel’s chief of staff.

Hess will work with policy, elections and the Wildcat Events Board as student body president. Her focus into the next year will be student advocacy, community and civic engagement and mental health awareness.

“I think it’s really important that we host town halls in cultural centers throughout the year to ensure that we are hearing from students,” she said at an ASUA cultural forum.

The goal of the town halls is to help students across campus feel they have a seat at the table.

To increase community and civic engagement, Hess wants to create an advocate position within ASUA to act as a liaison between ASUA and local government.

“I want to work in city government one day, so I think it’s really important to build those relationships outside ASUA,” Hess said at the forum.

BIOS BY PRIYA JANDU @Priya_J11

Adamson was elected executive vice president. He received 1,364 votes total and is a junior also majoring in PPEL. Adamson is currently the senator for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and is on the Undergraduate Council, as well as the Student Advisory Fee Board.

As executive vice president, Adamson will oversee the senate and clubs and organizations on campus.

His goal as EVP is to streamline the club-registration process and make it easier for them to get funding from ASUA. Another goal is to encourage engagement among students.

He also said he wants the senate to complete a significant project, referencing past ASUA projects like SafeRide and the farmer’s market on the UA Mall. Adamson said senate projects should be a consistent effort.

“I feel like sometimes senators get lost with what they should be doing or how they should be affecting change in their colleges or campus-wide,” Adamson said. “I really want to see the EVP take a more tangible role in guiding the senate.”

Administrative VP Rosenstengel was re-elected to be administrative vice president. She received 1,379 votes and is a junior currently double majoring in PPEL and global studies.

Rosenstengel was previously a member of Freshman Class Council and a student body senator with Hess before being reelected as AVP this year.

As AVP, Rosenstengel works with the 12 programs and services in ASUA. “I help hire all of the directors and help them achieve their goals for their program,” Rosenstengel said at the ASUA cultural forum. “I make sure that all the programs are growing, that we’re staying on track and that we’re going where we want to go in the future.”

Her goals for the next year are to continue what she started in her first year as AVP and continue advocating for “I Will” Week, a program that raises awareness about sexual assault on campus.

Rosenstengel wants to integrate the programs and services into the club fair. She said she tried to spread awareness about them this year, but it was not as successful as she hoped.

Rosenstengel also wants to make sure “I Will” Week has a place in ASUA, with a set budget and someone dedicated solely to “I Will” Week. Her ultimate goal is to make “I Will” a permanent ASUA program to expand the initiative.

ASUA deals with low student turnout

BY RANDALL ECK & PRIYA JANDU @reck999 @Priya_J11

Last year, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the UA’s undergraduate student government body, faced a crisis. While many candidates competed for the student body presidency, ASUA failed to fill a number of collegespecific seats in the Senate.

With no candidates running, ASUA was forced to appoint students to the seats.

ASUA’s incoming executives and senators at the time promised this would not happen again.

Yet, after a year of increased outreach to the UA community and easing of requirements for potential candidates, ASUA is facing a similar problem in this year’s March 25 and 26 general election.

Quality if not quantity Unlike last year, ASUA will only have to appoint one senator to the new Senate’s College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture seat. This fact is overshadowed by a different kind of problem — one ASUA hasn’t faced in many years.

After pushing back this year’s ASUA elections to late March, Marlon Freeman, ASUA’s elections commissioner, was also forced to cancel ASUA’s primary elections.

“I have decided to cancel the ASUA primary elections due to the fact such elections would not eliminate any candidates,” Freeman told the Senate on Feb. 20. “It would be counterintuitive to have two elections that are identical.”

The impact, or lack thereof, of ASUA’s efforts to spark student interest in its elections and activities remained unclear until the official announcement of ASUA candidates.

For the first time since 2010, it was announced that only one candidate was seeking to become UA’s student body president. ASUA’s two vice presidential positions each also have only one candidate.

Matthew Rein, ASUA’s current executive vice president, said he was not too disappointed in this lack of competition.

“Of course we certainly want as many candidates to apply as possible, but I always think you should have quality candidates over simply a numerical quantity of candidates,” Rein said.

This lack of numerical quantity also

extends to the election of ASUA’s senators.

The majority of UA students who visit ASUA’s election website to cast a vote will find only one race where their vote will have an impact on the election’s outcome.

Other than students in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, every other student will only be selecting three at-large senators from a pool of five candidates.

Freeman summed up the situation: “I would have liked to see more candidates for each position, but personally, I’m proud in the sense that we were able to fill essentially 90 percent of the positions.”

Low interest, low turnout Low student interest is not new to ASUA. Past ASUA elections have generally only garnered votes from 10 to 15 percent of UA’s

Ana Mendoza

Rocque Perez

Senator at-large

Senator at-large

Mendoza, a political science student, campaigned on a platform of increasing diversity and inclusion on campus, leveraging her unique background as a transfer student. She received 802 votes.

As an incoming senator, Mendoza has promised to fight to increase ASUA support of UA’s cultural centers, creating programs that would help students navigate graduate school applications, exams and scholarship opportunities.

At the same senate candidate forum, Mendoza called for ASUA to expand outreach to transfer students on campus and be a better voice for marginalized students.

“I want our cultural centers to provide training to ASUA and for ASUA to show constant support for our marginalized students on campus especially for those in the DACA community,” Mendoza said at the forum.

During her campaign, Mendoza proposed improving UA’s relationship with local community colleges and for a more transparent and inclusive ASUA relationship with UA’s administration — one which gives more students a seat at the table.

undergraduate student body.

“Everyone is so busy in college, not everyone wants to be involved, and that is okay,” said Brennen Feder, current senator for the College of Education.

According to Feder, ASUA’s mission is to serve every student regardless of whether they want to be involved in student government or not and to always advertise that the door is open to those who do want to participate.

According to Rein, who, as executive vice president, oversees the Senate, ASUA’s current senators all hosted informational sessions in their colleges to recruit candidates to run for Senate positions.

“This past year, I have hosted many information sessions to get the word out about positions available in ASUA,” Freeman said.

For Freeman and Feder, there are a number of reasons not every student on campus was receptive to these outreach sessions. Freeman cited how the negative

Rodrigo Robles

BIOS BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

Perez, who currently serves as an at-large senator in ASUA, will be the only student representative returning to the senate next year with 753 votes.

Perez, a political science sophomore, focused his campaign for re-election on increasing civic engagement, student engagement and equity on campus — positions that appear to have resonated with student voters and among his fellow candidates.

Talking to a group of students at a forum for ASUA Senate candidates on March 20, Perez laid out a plan to broaden ASUA outreach on campus.

“I think that there needs to be some kind of legislation within ASUA to establish requirements for ASUA senators to reach out to and build relationships with cultural centers on campus,” Perez said at the forum.

connotations of student government many students developed in high school and the multitude of other opportunities to get involved on campus affect students’ interest in ASUA. “Some students care about ASUA, others do not,” Feder said. “Not even our professors can make 100 percent of students care about their classes.”

Critics from within and without As part of ASUA’s increased outreach around its elections, Freeman also reached out to the UA’s deans and cultural centers.

During a forum this year hosted by ASUA’s executive candidates geared towards the UA’s cultural centers, ASUA faced criticism from students and administration for not being accessible to all UA students.

Nikki Mastrud, ASUA’s executive diversity director, criticized all three executive candidates for failing to engage with marginalized communities on campus.

Kendal Washington White, the UA’s Dean of Students, attended the Q&A session for the executive candidates on Thursday and said ASUA also has a reputation of being an exclusive club.

Senator at-large A member of KAMP Student Radio and a prebusiness student, Robles plans to increase ASUA’s engagement with student clubs on campus as well as improve campus sustainability and safety as a newly elected senator next year. He received 670 votes.

During the campaign, Robles was the only candidate to not provide a full list of campaign promises to UA students through ASUA’s election website.

Nevertheless, students had a chance to hear Robles outline his positions at ASUA’s Senate candidate forum on March 20 before electing him.

During the forum, Robles proposed banning, or at the very least providing an alternative for, plastic straws at UA’s Student Union Memorial Center. Robles also highlighted his outgoing personality and ability to work on a team.

“I want to be active on campus. I like to interact with people; building connections is so important,” Robles said at the forum.

These perceptions that ASUA’s executive offices are reserved for those who have been in student government since their freshman year, combined with a stipend that some within ASUA, like Rein, argue is too low, create barriers for candidates considering running for office. Even those within ASUA are not immune to these barriers. Only three of ASUA’s current senators and executives decided to run for re-election, even though many will remain on campus.

Many, like Feder and Noah Huang, senator for College of Fine Arts, cited their heavy workloads and a desire to be involved in other aspects of student government, like ASUA’s programs or the position of student regent, in their decisions not to seek re-election. For Rein, fresh faces keep new ideas and voices coming to ASUA. “A lot of senators have a good experience ... it’s always good to have fresh and new ideas come in,” Rein said. “That’s not to say folks who would re-run would not be good, but it’s good to have new folks to come in and bring their new perspective to their own colleges.”

Renewed Calls for Outreach During this election campaign, many of ASUA’s future senators and executives have promised to improve ASUA’s outreach and better share ASUA’s accomplishments and goals with students.

“ASUA provides a lot of added value to students. Look at our services like Campus Pantry that serves over 500 students a week.

Even if students don’t know about ASUA, ASUA is working behind the scenes for them, fighting for lower textbook costs and more,” Feder said.

During a Q&A organized by Freeman, Sydney Hess, the only candidate for student body president, called for new events and activities to more effectively engage with students and hear their voices and concerns.

“What I propose that we do is hold two public town halls per semester and potentially have those in cultural centers,” Hess said.

The UA community will likely not be able to see the impacts of these new promises for outreach until the candidates for next year’s ASUA elections are announced.

NEWS | ASUA PRESIDENT

Sydney Hess, student body president elect The Daily Wildcat sat down with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s president elect, junior Sydney Hess, to discuss her experience during the campaign and what she is expecting next year. The interview has been slightly edited for brevity and clarity

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique

Daily Wildcat: What made you initially want to run for student body president?

Sydney Hess: So, as a first generation Pell Grant-eligible student, I truly thought I would never have this experience.

I didn’t even know if college was a possibility when I first came here. But honestly, UA has just given me so much, so many opportunities I never thought I would have been granted previously, and honestly, I just want to give back. I care a lot about the student experience and ensuring everyone is getting the best out of their education, and if I can make that better in any way, shape or form, I want to be a part of that.

DW: What went through your mind when you found out you would be running unopposed?

SH: To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I’m a competitive person, and I think it lights a fire within you I don’t think running unopposed does, but honestly it was kind of relieving, too. I want to do the best job I can, and I feel I can do that in this capacity. It was definitely a mix of emotions, but I think it was exciting, too. Knowing I was going to potentially be granted this opportunity to serve was really great, but also I felt a little in over my head. I had a meeting with Natalynn [Masters, current ASUA president] probably a week prior to submitting my paperwork, so she gave me a little more insight, but I felt in over my head. You know, Natalynn, I just feel like she knows everything. And obviously I have a lot of growth to do. It was kind of scary, too. It was a mix of emotions.

DW: What advice did Natalynn Masters give you?

SH: I think the biggest one was: If

you’re not seeking out this opportunity to actually help students, and you’re seeking it out as a resume builder, then you’re not in the right place. I think the biggest thing, too, was you’re provided with a platform, and you’re here to serve students. It’s about what the students want and how it can impact them. And I think that was really eye-opening for me. hinking about one question you have to hold at the tip of your head for the next year is really interesting. I think that was something I am looking forward to doing, walking into a meeting and really having students at the forefront of my mind.

DW: You and Kate Rosenstengel [current administrative vice president who was re-elected in this election] have a lot of experience working on the same teams.

[Hess is currently Rosenstengel’s chief of staff.] How do you think that preexisting relationship will affect your work together in executive positions?

SH: I think it’s going to help immensely.

I feel like sometimes we’re so on the same page it’s weird. I think working as her right hand man, I know how she processes things. I know her strengths are my weaknesses, and my strengths are her weaknesses, and I think that’s something extremely valuable when we’re working as a team. I’m definitely more of the confrontational one, and I think I pushed her to be more confrontational. And I think sometimes she allowed me to take a step back and realize the bigger picture.

She’s more of the visionary, I think, and I think that that’s great, especially working in this next year. I think it’s important the people you work with are friends, and we all get along. And I think that’s the way we’re going to accomplish most of our goals. We know we have a similar vision and a similar way of getting to that vision.

DW: You have said one day you want to work in city government. One of

ASUA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SYDNEY Hess speaks at the ASUA Executive Q&A on Thursday, March 21 in the Student Union Memorial Center. Hess currently serves as the chief of staff for Kate Rosenstengel, the currentadministrative vice president, and previously worked as a student body senator.

your platforms is community and civic engagement, and you’ve proposed the creation of a new position to act as a liaison between UA and Tucson city government. What would you like to see this position accomplish?

SH: So right now, there’s a policy director within ASUA, and they’re in charge of ensuring that we, as ASUA, are informed about policy issues happening at the federal, state and even local legislative [level]. They’re also a part of important initiatives, like getting students to vote in upcoming elections, things like that. However, I think there’s kind of a disconnect between UA and the Tucson community. I also think that it’s important, because we are going to get a new mayor of Tucson [in November 2019], to really build those connections to ensure students’ priorities and students’ needs are being heard. Because we’re such a large part of the Tucson community and because the Tucson community is such a large part of UA, I think it’s important we do build those connections. I think in introducing this new director position, the current policy

director can really hone in on state and federal legislatures and really talk about those policy issues.

DW: What are you most looking forward to in your role as student body president?

SH: I think the people I’ll meet. I think we, as students, we found our niches on campus. I’m excited to really learn from students across campus what it means to be a Wildcat, and I think that learning about their stories and learning how their student experience has impacted them, I think I’m really excited to learn how I can better help them. I think I have the capacity in this position to really make a difference and to really focus on things that maybe haven’t been done before.

And I think that’s what I’m most excited about is really helping those students [whose] voices have been silenced previously and just learning from them as a student leader, as a person, as a human being. I think I’m just excited to gain a new appreciation and a new understanding of what it means to be a Wildcat.

East Asian studies’ Korean minor hopes to grow into a major

BY SOFIA MORAGA @Sofiamf1

The department of East Asian studies expanded a year ago by making the decision to create a Korean Minor.

As student interest grows in studying Chinese and Japanese culture, the program looked at ways to expand, and adding a minor in Korean studies was the answer, according to Margaret Camp, the undergraduate advisor for East Asian studies.

Camp said they had three interested students going into this past Fall semester, and the minor has grown significantly since it began. This semester, there are 39 enrolled students minoring in either Korean language or culture.

Camp said there are also a few East Asian studies majors interested in the Korean language.

“Since they can’t major in Korean yet, they’re kind of doing it under different umbrellas,” Camp said.

The minor is still young, and there are a few things that need to be done before it can continue to expand. The EAS department only offers Korean 102 and 202 in the spring semester, and because there are three students currently enrolled in 101, they would have to wait a whole year to take their

next class.

Camp and assistant professor Sunyoung Yang, also the Korean advisor for EAS, managed to find a quick solution to their problem. The department will be starting a new online 102 class over the summer, so students who started 101 can do 102 and continue their studies the coming semester.

Camp said they want to create more classes but need students to get through the lower division courses before that can be done.

“The minor is just getting established, so as soon as we get our 101 students into 202, then we’re thinking of adding 300 levels in our department, currently in critical languages,” Camp said.

Yang said she is currently the only professor for the program, and according to Camp, this is the biggest thing holding them back from creating a major.

“It’s all up to the dean, who has been very supportive,” Camp said. “I think he’s looking to be supportive for us to grow.”

The pair is hopeful the minor will grow and the major will be implemented soon. Camp said the language has great implications for government and business going forward.

SYDNEY KENIG | THE DAILY WILDCAT

SOJUNG CHUN, AN INSTRUCTOR at the University of Arizona, poses in the Learning Services Building on Friday, March 22. She teaches KOR 102 and KOR 202.

“I can only see it growing,” Camp said.

The UA Korean program is one of few in the United States and, according to Yang, this is a great opportunity and advantage.

“That’s why, when our department started the Korean studies program,

we wanted to become the center in the Southwest,” Yang said.

Enrollment season is here, skip the extra classes COLUMN

BY TONI MARCHEVA @ToniToniToni_M

F

inish college faster, squeeze in another major, try something new, get the most out of your money — good intentions give us many reasons to take extra classes.

And you probably know somebody (or are somebody) who is taking on 18, 19, 20 … 25 units this semester (yes, I did meet someone taking 25 credits). Enrollment has arrived, and if the stress isn’t convincing enough, I am writing to give extra encouragement to those prone to taking up heavy loads: Skip the extra class.

The primary reason to take fewer classes is it will make us better students. We have all been granted the same 24 hours in one day. Loading in extra classes stretches our own scarce time,

and generally, more credits do not translate proportionally to amount of time spent on class assignments. According to the Arizona Board of Regents, 30 hours of out-of-class work are required for every unit. Therefore, 18 units translate to 7.7 hours every day, including weekends, for class time and school work. Studies show that students generally do not meet this standard.

According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities, three-fifths of college students spend less than 15 hours per week on assignments. Only about 11 percent of first-year and 14 percent of senior students spent over 26 hours studying. This is less than the recommended weekly time for fifteen units. Frankly, most of us either do not have (or do not want to have) the time to adequately devote to more than fifteen units.

Yet students who take huge course loads generally do well. The University of Arizona does not have readily-available statistics correlating GPA and credit load, but from experience, my guess is students with higher

course loads do not do worse than students who take less credits, GPA-wise. The students who take excessive amounts of credits are often ambitious and confident in their ability to juggle many classes (and extracurriculars and jobs too?), but it does not mean these students are doing as well as they can.

Especially for students who know what they want to do after college, extra classes are not beneficial. An economics professor once told me to drop any extra classes, read the textbooks for my remaining classes thoroughly and critically consider what the textbooks have to say. From the professor’s perspective, it is more important to learn a lot from a few classes than a smaller amount from many.

Having unregulated school time is a good thing. Visiting professors outside of having assignment-related questions, exploring concepts independently of class, giving time to help your peers and having time to do the entire reading assignment (wow!) all benefit your learning experience and can push a student from being good to standing out

among their peers.

Students who take fewer classes are often less stressed, which improves their enjoyment of learning. Also, according to the Center for Studies on Human Stress, stress interferes with our ability to encode new information, so taking more classes slows us down.

Choose your classes wisely this enrollment session. For any classes that do not apply directly to your end goals (major and otherwise), think carefully about enrolling. If the class will put you over the edge of being able to spend a sufficient amount of time on your other classes, remove it from your shopping cart. If it’s not worth your time, remove it from your shopping cart. To all of the heavy loaders, I challenge you to aim for fifteen units next semester. And I will do my best to take my own advice, as well.

SPORTS | WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Wildcats look to continue best season since 2010

BY NOAH AUCLAIR @noahauclairua

12 months ago, if you had told a fan of Arizona women’s basketball that come next season, the Wildcats would be making a deep postseason run, they probably wouldn’t have believed you.

After all, the ‘Cats were coming off a 6-24 season, the second season under the tenure of head coach Adia Barnes. They hadn’t had a winning season since 2010.

They hadn’t made an NCAA Tournament since 2005.

Yet here the Wildcats are, on the back end of a 17-12 regular season, heading to the Sweet 16 of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament after two doubledigit wins. For the program, it’s the first time since 1998 the Wildcats have won multiple postseason games in a season.

That year, the ‘Cats made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament led on the court by none other than Barnes.

Barnes, who often talks about how she thinks it takes six years to build a program to a national championship contender, credited the WNIT for the program’s success when she was a player.

“I remember: Me as a player at Arizona, the pivotal point in our program was going to the NIT and winning it, and that changed everything,” Barnes said. “That started the avalanche, and we got better, then we made the NCAA [tournament].”

It’s not just on-court milestones, like redshirt sophomore Aari McDonald eclipsing the 800-point mark on the season, that the Wildcats are hitting.

For their first round matchup versus Idaho State, there were 2,500 tickets pre-sold, the most for any game. For both of their WNIT games, attendance has been over 3,200, which has allowed the program to continue hosting the tournament games instead of going on the road. In addition to Barnes, football head coach Kevin Sumlin, athletic director Dave Heeke and Wildcat alumnus Solomon Hill are pledging tickets for the ZonaZoo. For their upcoming matchup against the University of Idaho on Thursday, March 28, at 6:30 p.m., Barnes is hoping for a record crowd in McKale Center.

“Our goal is to get 5,000 at the next game, pack the house, and just make this place really hard to play in,” she said.

It isn’t just the eyes of the fans the Wildcats are getting. They’ve drawn praise from some of the best coaches in the country, including Oregon head coach Kelly Graves, who said after their defeat of the Wildcats in the second round of the Pac-12 Tournament that the Wildcats were on the rise.

“I think Coach Adia has done a really good job there,” he said. “She’s building something that looks a little bit like ours did a couple years ago. I think that’s a team that’s going to be a team to be reckoned with the next few years.”

Although they aren’t ready to compete for NCAA national championships just yet, any postseason success is a welcome development for the program and fans alike. With a good young core of talent, this could be just the beginning.

The team features players like McDonald, who was at one point the leading scorer in the nation, now hovering around the top five. Arizona also boasts freshman Cate Reese, who was the first McDonald’s All-American in program history, and sophomore Sam Thomas, Pac-12 All Freshman in 2017.

As the team gains postseason experience in the form of the WNIT, it primes them for more success in the future.

“I think it’s a really good step for this program, and it’s really good for the young players to get experience,” Barnes said.

“Because once you get that experience, you’re hungry for more, and then the bar is raised for next year.”

When Barnes was hired as the head coach in 2016, she had high hopes for the future.

“I believe we can compete for championships in the Pac-12 and nationally,”she said.

In just year three at the helm, Barnes seems as though she has her team poised to do just that in the years to come.

NEWS | A JARRING DISCOVERY

police

beat

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique

a blunt refusal Turns out people can be charged with possession of marijuana, even if it’s not so much of a possession as it is a thing that happens to live in the car.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer stopped a student for making an illegal left turn near Euclid Avenue on March 7 at around 2:30 a.m.

The student told the officer he and his passenger were on their way back from a friend’s house and were headed to Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall. He also admitted that he had had two beers about four hours earlier.

It was then the officer’s partner noticed a was sticking out from underneath the backseat of the student’s car. The jar was visible through the window. Inside the jar was what looked like a pipe, a lighter and a

green, leafy substance.

The officer asked the student and the passenger to step out of the car. He also asked whether or not the student had a medical marijuana card. The student said he did not.

The officer then asked if he could look inside the car, but the student said no. The officer informed the student he had probable cause and proceeded to search the vehicle.

The officer pulled the jar out, which contained all the aforementioned items, as well as matches and several empty plastic bags.

The officer spoke to the student, who, after being informed of his Miranda Rights, said he would answer the officer’s questions, depending on what they were.

The officer asked whether the marijuana belonged to him. The student said he did not smoke marijuana and was unwilling to say how the marijuana got in the car. It did not belong to his passenger or his parents, who also use the car, but do not smoke.

He said none of the items in the jar were his and the pipe was “ownerless.”

The student said he used to smoke but had not done so in about six months and that may have been when the marijuana got into the car.

The officer’s partner conducted an alcohol sobriety test on the student, who displayed six out of six cues of intoxication. The officer then conducted the walk and turn test, in

which the student displayed three out of eight cues. When asked to stand on one leg, the student displayed only one cue out of a possible four.

The officers arrested the student for driving under the influence and transported him to the UAPD station. There he was given a breathalyzer test, which he blew 0.00 on twice.

They then asked the student for a blood test. The student asked to call his lawyer. After the call the student agreed to the blood test.

The student was cited and released for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and DUI. A referral was also sent to the Dean of Students Office.

doctor’s note An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but sometimes doctors need a little help keeping the danger away. That was the case for one College of Medicine professor after a patient she treated at a clinic became angry via email and allegedly made threats against her.

A UAPD officer spoke to the professor on March 4 about an encounter she had with a recent patient. The professor told the officer that in February, she treated a man at the Banner University Medical Center Clinic who had agreed to participate in a research study on the same day as his treatment.

PRO SOCCER IS HERE # itstartsinTUCSON

The man later reached back out by email to the professor, requesting a letter he could send to the Teamsters Union regarding his disability. According to the professor, he asked her to use certain language in the letter she was not comfortable with and refused to use. She said her refusal made him sound angry in his email replies.

The professor was able to contact the man’s Teamster Union manager. The manager told her he’d heard the man say he would “kill everyone at work with a rifle.”

Within the man’s emails, he did not make any explicit threats, though he did use aggressive language, according to the professor.

The professor told the officer she wanted to report the incident because the man’s heated language in the emails caused her to worry he might come to campus. She did not know if he had access to campus or any weapons.

She also told the officer she believed the man was currently in New Mexico living with his girlfriend. She alleged the girlfriend may have helped escalate the situation though did not have any further information on her.

The professor forwarded the emails to the officer as evidence.

The officer advised the professor to contact UAPD if she saw the man on campus again or if the emails continued.

ARTS & LIFE | LOCAL BAND

UA student to rock Club Congress

BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11

Some new bands strive for money and fame; however, Anastasia Lopez, a University of Arizona student studying Spanish, and the rest of Tonight’s Sunshine say they are using their musical talents to give back.

Lopez, along with Isaiah Kortright, Cougar Bellinger and Diego Mackean, make up Tonight’s Sunshine, a local band that’s making its mark in Tucson.

“I listen to a lot of different genres, and you can see that in my music, because every song is pretty different,” Lopez said. “We try to umbrella-term it as alternative pop rock, but some songs have undertones of reggaetón, rap or just pop in general.”

Each of the members had been playing music for a while before they started Tonight’s Sunshine,according to Lopez.

“I’ve been playing for seven years now, I started when I was nine,” Bellinger said.

Kortright said he became fully immersed in music when he played in his high school’s marching band at 15.

“I was playing the bass drum in drumline, and I got to play with the mariachi and the jazz band,” Kortright said. “That experience in high school really just brought me out of my shell and allowed me to meet new people.”

Similar to Bellinger, Lopez had been singing for a long time, crediting her Hispanic heritage for her passion for music.

“I come from a Hispanic family, and growing up in the household, there was always music on,” Lopez said. “At any random moment, they would ask me to sing songs that they taught me, because they wanted to hear it. Singing is the instrument that everybody has, so I was always singing.”

The inspiration for creating Tonight’s Sunshine came after watching a live performance by Lopez at an open mic night.

“We met Anastasia at an open mic at House of Bards last April, and we were completely blown away,” Kortright said.

“We had never heard a voice like that, so we kept in touch throughout the summer.”

After playing together, Kortright said they knew they had to pursue music.

“Everyone was really jiving together,” Kortright said. “It almost felt like it wasn’t a choice; we needed to do this.”

The name for the band came from Lopez. She had used Tonight’s Sunshine as her solo name before she was part of the band.

“It references to the song You Are My Sunshine, because that song has always been used as a lullaby in my life,” Lopez said. “I would hear it from people that I love, and they would sing it to me over the phone, and because of time differences, we could only talk at night. It was my favorite part of the day, so it was like my sunshine was at night.”

When it comes to having specific roles in the band, Tonight’s Sunshine likes to mix things up, allowing each member to play different instruments depending on the song.

“What we like to do is switch roles,” Kortright said. “For example, there’s one song I play drums, and there’s another one where I play guitar. We like to get creative and not be so rigid with instruments. Our role has just been being supportive of all material that Anastasia has brought, and it’s worked out super well.”

Tonight’s Sunshine has played at the Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair and played at Club Congress on March 27.

“Cougar’s dad is our manager, and what he was able to do was put together a marketing package highlighting the work we had done and asked them if we could have a night where we not only showcased ourselves but showcased a couple of other bands,” Kortright said.

The other groups that will perform that night are Diluvio and the Dry River Band.

In preparation for Club Congress, Tonight’s Sunshine has been practicing as much as they can.

“We try to do three times a week, and sometimes it turns into more than that,” Lopez said. “We like to play together, so it’s not really like practice. We’re practicing and getting what we need to get done, but it’s just making music, having fun with it and being creative.”

Aside from practicing music, the band has also been working on their aesthetic, Lopez said.

“It’s not just the music. It has to be an entire performance that people are interested in so they’re not only listening to it but they are captivated by it,” Lopez said.

Tonight’s Sunshine’s work with nonprofit organizations is one of the many reasons their band stands out from the rest, Kortright said.

“We’re partnered with the Red Road to Wellbriety celebration, and helping those causes are really important to us,” Kortright said.

Along with helping organizations, Tonight’s Sunshine also wants to show people that they can follow their dreams.

TONIGHT’S SUNSHINE PERFORMING AT the main stage for Fourth Avenue Street Fair attendees on March 23.

The band’s setlist included cover songs and originals.

“We have things to say,” Lopez said.

“We do a lot of nonprofit stuff, and we’re doing things with music to bring people together and say something about a cause. I know that in my lyrics I talk about LGBTQ, my Mexican roots or having a dream in general and not letting people hold me down from trying to achieve it. I want people to feel things and see that in themselves.”

Eventually, the band members say they want to become famous and donate their money to those in need.

“Short-term, we want to record more and get our name out there,” Kortright said.

ARTS & LIFE | TRAVELING BAND

The 131ers are paying their dues on the road Kaleb Davies of the indie rock band The 131ers took a break between shows in Seattle to talk to the Daily Wildcat about the tour behind their album, “Nothing’s As It Should Be.” That road isn’t always paved in gold, but The 131ers do find the occasional nugget on their journey across America CONTRIBUTED BY TYSON HUDSON @DailyWildcat

Daily Wildcat: Where are you guys originally from?

Kaleb Davies: We’re originally from Torrance, Calif.

Ryan and I went to high school together. Chris was a local from the neighborhood, and then Greg, who joined the band about two years back, was originally from Indiana. I actually came up with the band name when I was like 11 years old.

DW: What were bands that influenced you as a kid?

KD: I grew up listening to a lot of British music. I think The Cure, which was probably one of my first favorite bands. Arctic Monkeys — I got into them, their first album — and that was kind of why I started playing guitar. Neutral Milk Hotel was a massive influence on me when I was a kid. I used to listen to “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea” every day, twice. It would change everything I knew about how I listen to music.

Primarily, I think our band was influenced by maybe more contemporary American indie bands like Vampire Weekend.

DW: Your latest album is “Nothing’s As It Should Be.” What are the favorite songs you like to play live from that album?

KD: We close our set usually with “Leave This Man Behind.” People just love to have a good time to that one. That’s kind of a song about hating your day job and making the choice to love yourself and have a good time instead of wallowing in self-agony over having to wake up at 6 a.m. for your shift. That song is just all about living in the moment.

DW: Could you elaborate more on the origin of the song “OG Food?”

KD: I was dating this girl, and I was just completely enamored with her. It was the first time in my young, short adult life that I realized that she probably wasn’t going to stay this time, and I was going to have to deal with that myself. It’s that girl — you’d meet her — you know she’s just going to absolutely wreck you, and that kind of was the idea behind that song. I always kind of call it an “Angeleno” love song. It’s for kids that grew up in L.A. and that have been around the city. You meet all these beautiful people that aren’t as real as you think they are. It’s hard to find the truth in people.

DW: What do you think is the toughest thing about being on the road?

KD: Trying not to binge drink every night. I know the other guys in our band, they have families and stuff

COURTESY THE 131ERS

at home, so I know that that’s really tough. But the toughest thing is probably you’re never alone, and that’s really hard. As much as we all love each other, being in a van with someone for four weeks is a long time. Sometimes you just don’t know where you’re staying. We have to start asking people if we can crash on their couch, or else we’re going to be sleeping in the van. Yesterday we had to wake up at 6 a.m., and we drove 14 hours. In the end, we get to play a dope show.

We get to meet some new fans and make people happy, then it’s worth it. I’m always just surprised by the kindness of strangers. You have to stay focused on the music. It’s not just the 24/7 party. There’s a lot of work that includes setting up a tour and touring.

DW: Have there been any strange experiences while you were traveling?

KD: We’re playing in Oregon last year, and we’re at this gas station. You’re not allowed to pump your own gas. It was pissing down with rain. We’re desperately trying to get to the venue, and we need gas. There’s this long line of cars. We’re finally going to get the gas, and all of a sudden, the gas station attendant just freaks out, throws

down the pump and goes, “I can’t do this anymore.” He leaves, and there’s like 16 cars waiting to try to get gas.

Made us afraid to come back to Oregon.

DW: What do you love about live music specifically?

KD: What I love is when someone comes up after and goes, “I don’t listen to Indie rock music. I only like hiphop, or I only like punk. But you know what, I had such a good time.” We played a show in Visalia a couple of nights ago, and the super punk kid — tatted up, nose ring and Black Flag shirt — he came up and was so stoked. He actually got up on stage at the end, and they had to kick him out. But he came up, and he just was so excited that he liked the band, but he just didn’t understand why. When music does that, I think that’s what’s exciting for me.

The 131ers will play a free, all-ages show at Espresso Art Café on Sunday, April 7, at 8:30 p.m.

De-mystifying “Detox” Is detoxing the right way to diet?

Documentaries, blog posts, pop-ups, and YouTubers bombard us with diet advice for detoxing or cleansing our bodies for the purpose of health and weight loss. There are recommendations to fast, juice, eliminate certain foods, and add in others. What does detoxing really mean and do we need to?

What is detoxing? Detoxification is the biochemical process that transforms toxins into compounds that can be excreted by our bodies. Sources of toxins can include our environment, food, water, cleaning products, and personal care items. Fortunately, our bodies have an effective, built-in detox system involving our lungs, digestive tract, liver, and kidneys that do a fantastic job in detoxifying us daily.

There are nutrients that help the body’s detox systems function properly. A diet rich in whole foods, including fruits and vegetables, and plenty of fiber and water supports a healthy, natural detoxification process.

What’s a detox diet? Detox diets are often based on questionable studies and limited in nutrients and calories, leading to muscle loss. Muscle loss

will result in weight gain once the diet is stopped. There are no magic foods or pills that result in weight loss, including juices. Juices can be high in calories and lead to weight gain instead of loss. Also, juice fasts or strict juice diets are typically restricted in calories and often lack protein (needed to maintain muscle mass), and fats and fibers, which provide a sense of fullness.

Are teas or supplements safe? Other versions of detox plans include teas, powders, and supplements. These products may contain stimulants, laxatives, or diuretics that can cause a variety of unpleasant side effects like irritability, dehydration, stomachache, and electrolyte imbalances. Most products are ineffective and potentially harmful. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

What works? Successful and safe weight loss requires a combination of a balanced diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy. Rapid weight loss typically doesn’t last because the wrong type of weight (water, muscle, and bone) will be lost. Slow and steady weight loss wins the race!

OPINIONS | CONSTRUCTION

Fighting the labor shortage crisis COLUMN

BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat

T

here is nothing I love more than a smooth, freshly renovated road that makes even my humble minivan feel like it is a high-end piece of technology gliding through the city, held back only by air resistance and speed limits. And there is nothing I hate more than construction.

But life is about giving and taking, and if we want to take stable bridges, fresh pavement and pothole filling, we will have to give a couple of weeks or months to abysmally low speeds, single-lane roads and stop-and-start traffic. It is not easy, but it is necessary.

And while it is important to remember the sacrifices we have to make for the luxury of adequate roads, it is also important to remember those sacrifices don’t have to be so steep.

In Tucson alone, we are currently overseeing at least eighteen transportation projects, involving crews and contractors to renovate old roads or design entirely new ones to expedite our daily commutes, save us money in gas and lower the chance of accidents or other damage to our cars. This is a great sign that we have a city government interested in keeping Tucson up to pace with other cities around the country, not only in terms of roads but also pedestrian zones, bike lanes, access ramps for those with physical handicaps and more environmentally conscious irrigation systems.

But all is not well in the construction business in the United States. In 2017, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave infrastructure in the United States a rating of D+ and called on massive investment and a shake up of how we grade whether or not roads, bridges, train tracks and electric grids fail or pass. Despite a growing need for workers, projects and ingenuity, we are falling behind in all three.

MarketWatch published an article reporting that the American construction field has not been able to keep up with sectors like agriculture and manufacturing, saying, “Over the past 20 years, productivity has grown at only one percent annually, only around one-third the rate of the world economy and only around one-quarter of the rate in manufacturing”.

CYRUS NORCROSS | THE DAILY WILDCAT

A WHITE CAR PASSES the construction between Second Street and University Boulevard on June 1, 2018.

That number becomes especially shocking when you realize that agriculture has grown 1,510 percent in terms of cumulative real growth since 1947, and construction has only grown 6 percent.

Not only are we under-investing in construction projects, we are also experiencing a labor-shortage crisis that has begun to reach new highs in recent years. According to the National Association of Home Builders, 82 percent of builders said the cost and quantity of labor is their biggest concern going into 2017, a sentiment echoed by data released in 2018 showing unfilled construction jobs continue to rise.

The Washington Post reported this shortage of labor is being felt across the country and we have far too few people applying for much needed construction and blue-collar jobs to build roads and houses and provide transportation.

Even worse, in areas such as California, where those job openings are being filled, they bring with them other concerns. In Los Angeles, the

once-heavily unionized construction force began being filled by more Latino workers emigrating from south of the border, who were paid less and encouraged not to unionize for better conditions. MarketWatch reported that American construction workers today receive five dollars less an hour in real wages than they did in the early 1970s, a major decline that explains the stunted increase in productivity of the American worker in the past few decades.

What can we do to help fight this labor shortage crisis on our doorstep?

Encouraging the development of trade schools and supporting high school graduates who are entertaining careers in blue-collar fields such as construction, welding, plumbing or electrical engineering can help fill those gaps, as well as encouraging inmigration of workers across the country.

According to Forbes, almost 40 percent of students entering a four-year college will not graduate, and even of those 60 percent who do, about 37 percent are currently doing work that only requires

a high school diploma, regardless.

Countries such as Germany see major increases in productivity thanks to their cutting-edge vocational school system, the Deutsche Welle indicated that 52 percent of Germans graduate from. If lawmakers decide to bring back the once-thriving vocational school system we used to have in this country, the large populations of recent immigrants can help as well, as long as we can see the return of unionization to see better conditions and wages.

If we can encourage a more productive and attractive field of construction, more people will fill the openings that we already have and need filled. This will help us overcome the labor shortage crisis, and if it means less time spent in understaffed work zones, all the better.

Flanagan bounces back from injury

BY ARI KOSLOW @koslow_ari

Quinn Flanagan was dealing through his sophomore season in high school at Corona del Sol High School, as the Chandler native posted a 1.56 ERA over 49.1 innings with 56 strikeouts and six wins earned.

As he was making the first start of his junior season the following year, he felt something pop in his right arm. Flanagan later found out he tore a ligament in his elbow and would have to undergo Tommy John surgery.

The typical rehabilitation time for a baseball player to recover from this surgery is a little over a year. It took Flanagan three years of recovery time before he was able to step on the mound and pitch again.

“Not this long, no,” Flanagan, now an Arizona baseball freshman, said when asked if he thought it would take him this long to get back to full strength. “I knew it was going to take a while, you know? I have to take my time with it, but I wasn’t expecting this many setbacks.”

Almost three years to the day of Flanagan suffering this injury in his junior year of high school, he returned to the mound, this time in an Arizona Wildcats uniform on Feb. 17. He struggled early on, allowing two runs in the first inning, but quickly settled down, throwing three-straight scoreless innings before his afternoon was done. Flanagan finished the game throwing four innings, having allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits with four strikeouts and zero walks.

“I’m really proud of him,” head coach Jay Johnson said that day. “There were some points along the way where you go, ‘Man, I don’t know if he’s going to make it back,’ and he just kept working.”

Fast-forward five starts into the season, and Flanagan is quickly making a name for himself as one of the most reliable starting pitchers on the Arizona baseball team. He has thrown 24 innings to the tune of a 1.13 ERA, good for sixth in the Pac-12. He has a perfect 3-0 record, and opponents are hitting just .218 off him this year.

Flanagan is coming off arguably the most impressive performance any Wildcat has shown this season, throwing a complete game shutout against Utah

on March 16.

“Unbelievable. I wanted to cry for him because of how proud of him I was,” teammate Cameron Cannon said following this performance. “He’s coming off Tommy John surgery, and in beginning of fall, if you would have said he was going to be a starter for us, I wouldn’t have believed it. He’s worked his butt off every single day for us, and he’s put in the time and work for us, and it’s showing out on the field.”

There’s still a long way to go in conference play, but the redshirt freshman has certainly put his name on the map so far. If the Wildcats want to make another run at the NCAA tournament this season, they’ll likely need Flanagan to continue this type of play.

Opposites attract

BY JACOB MENNUTI @jacob_mennuti

It’s halfway through the Arizona beach volleyball season and the Sand Cats have an impressive 11-4 record. The secret sauce to the team’s success is the pairing of sophomore Jonny Baham and junior Brooke Burling.

The sophomore-junior tandem have put together a career duo record of 28-10, quickly solidifying themselves as one of the teams’ best duos and the backbone of the Wildcats’ roster. Head coach Steve Walker united the two during the 2018 season and found the two succeeded together right away.

“They cover the court and see the game so well together,” Walker said. “It looks like those two came out of the womb and started crawling in sand.”

But the confidence between the two didn’t come right away. It wasn’t until late last season the pair felt they took off. It was a tough set of games for Arizona, as the road trip to Malibu included facing No. 6-ranked Cal Poly and a No. 2-ranked Pepperdine squad. The ‘Cats lost two of the three games that weekend including a 4-1 loss to Pepperdine. However, the only UA pair to come away with a win against the Wave was the newly formed duo of Burling and Baham.

“We beat a pair that we weren’t supposed to beat, and we stuck together really well,” Baham said. Burling added that it was from that point on that they believed they could “compete with anyone.”

Yet being in sync in the sand is far more difficult than it sounds. In fact, the two grew up on opposite sides of the country. Baham grew up in the sandy beaches of Hawaii before moving to

Carlsbad, Calif., for high school. Burling on the other hand, grew up in an area where in was hard to find sand: Naperville, Ill. Oddly enough, opposites attract, as Brooke noted it’s their wildly different personalities that balance each other out.

“I am definitely more outgoing, and sometimes I can get a little too excited, so Jonny, being the calm one, always brings me back to myself,” Burling said.

And their relationship away from the sand is just as strong as it is on the courts.

“Jon Jon,” as Baham is commonly referred to by her teammates, “is like a little sister to me. I have two younger sisters, so it’s natural for me to take on that older-sibling role,” Burling said.

Burling also acknowledges how important it is to have that kind of relationship with her partner.

“It makes a team really special when you have that awesome connection. Yeah, she’s a great player, but we have a lot of great players, so that’s one of the things I love about Jonny,” she said.

“I love Brooke,” Baham added. “I’m the only sophomore on the team, so she likes to take me under her wing.”

Since the beginning of this season, the duo has been red hot, starting the year with a pairing record of 11-4, but the two of them feel nothing has changed since last year.

“My hitting has

definitely improved, and so has Brooke’s blocking, but I wouldn’t say our role is any different,” Baham said. “We’re a small team, so we’re still playing our scrappy kind of defense.”

The combo will be a critical piece of the puzzle this season, as Arizona beach volleyball is currently sitting at No. 15 in the AVCA polls and looking to contend for a Pac-12 championship.

SPORTS | SPRING NOTEBOOK

Arizona football aims to improve leadership

BY CHRIS VIZCARRA @ua_chris

The Arizona Wildcats football team hit the gridiron last week, with the beginning of spring practice underway. The start of a new season is welcome considering last fall ended with a 5-7 record and missing out on a bowl game in the first season under head coach Kevin Sumlin.

It wasn’t easy for the first-year head coach, previously in the SEC at Texas A&M, to implement his system in the Pac-12, and Sumlin admitted as much.

“Last year was a learning process, for the majority of the guys and both sides — to get to know them and for them [players] to get to know us,” Sumlin said.

This spring practice has a different feel for players and coaches, each with a better understanding of what is expected from both sides ,and focusing on building and improving what went wrong in 2018.

One of the biggest emphases for Arizona during spring practice has been understanding the value of leadership.

“The key for this football team is leadership and consistency. We just need leaders on this team,” defensive coordinator Marcel Yates said. “When you think about our road games, we lost four road games,

and three of them weren’t even close. Your leadership, you need those guys to step up, help you out and get you going on the road.”

The Wildcats finished last season 1-4 away from Arizona Stadium. Compare that to the home record of 4-2, and it is a pretty big discrepancy in the realm of college football.

Players seem to agree, as junior linebacker Colin Schooler pointed out the struggles.

“It wasn’t characteristic of us to go out and play like that [on the road], and that falls on the leaders. We have a leaders council voted by players, and those players think you’re a leader on the team, and it’s a part of the leaders council to step up and be leaders,” Schooler said.

Although he viewed himself as a lead-byexample type of player in his first two years, Schooler said he’s focused on being more vocal this season, stating he feels “part to blame” for how things went last year.

Schooler, who accounted for 119 tackles a season ago, said holding other players more accountable when the situation dictates it can go a long way toward turning the losses into wins.

Arizona tight end Bryce Wolma echoed his teammate’s thoughts and said doing so would help keep everyone focused.

“We need a lot more vocal leaders on this team to hold people accountable, because

sometimes when guys are getting yelled at, they yell back and get sensitive too,” Wolma said. “But if we hold each other accountable, it’s going to end up winning us games, and that’s what we need to do.”

Arizona is counting on a lot of upperclassmen to expand their roles, starting on the defensive side of the ball where coordinator Yates is expecting Scottie Young Jr. and Jace Whittaker to step up with the departure of Demetrius FlanniganFowles, who was a four-year player and started 36 games.

“You have Scottie Young; this is Scottie Young’s first spring, and this is his first time going through spring ball since he’s been here. Jace Whittaker is a person that we missed last season, he was probably the leader of the defense out of everybody.

He probably had the most starts out of anybody, so losing him hurt us as a unit,” Yates said.

Offensively, wide receiver Cedric Peterson and quarterback Khalil Tate are heading into their senior campaign, where more responsibility will be on their shoulders.

“After that ASU game, it’s now or never.

I need to step up and be that leader in the receiver room,” Peterson said. “[Tate] has progressed a lot, even last year I thought he stepped up to the plate, and he just keeps getting better from there.”

Whether or not these players will live up to the calling remains to be seen, but finding players who can bring a positive influence to the team can help right the ship.

NEWS | AUTISM WALK AND ELLER RANKING

Upcoming Autism Walk offers family-friendly education

BY NAGISA TSUKADA @ntsukada120_130

The Autism Society of Southern Arizona will hold its 13th annual Autism Walk and Resource Fair on Saturday, April 6, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Kino Sports Complex. The walk itself will begin at 9 a.m.

About 70 exhibitors will provide information about autism therapy groups, doctors, law and schools to people who want to learn about the autism community. Visitors can learn where to go when they need help and what services are available.

In addition, many attractions, such as food tracks, raffle, the Center for Neurosciences Brain Bus, the Physics Factory bus, face painting and UA Pom Line, will entertain and educate visitors.

If children experience sensory overload, parents can take them to the Zen Zone created

by Milestone Pediatrics. Zen Zone is a calm and dark place where children can relax.

“We really make it a fun day for families,” said Brie Seward, the associate director of ASSA. “And even if you are not affected by autism … you are still welcome to learn more about it.”

Brad Jones participated in the Autism Walk last year for the first time. His 5-year-old son, Alec, was diagnosed with autism. According to Jones, the Autism Walk is beneficial to people affected by autism not just because of the useful information and resources but also because of its welcoming atmosphere. They

will participate again this year. “[Alec] got to a comfortable place … not being judged,” he said.

He also said it is nice to be “in touch with other families going through the same thing” and share emotions and experiences.

According to Seward, the Autism Walk was initiated by parents.

A board member of ASSA, Ray Frieders, added that the event has been growing, over the last five years.

“It’s still parental,” Frieders said. “[Supporters and volunteers of the event] are different experts, different passions. We have medical people, financial people; we have self-advocates. It’s such a great cross section of people who bring their real-world experience with a way to help get a word out.”

ASSA has provided resources and programs for both children and adults and connected people who are involved with autism in the Tucson and Southern Arizona community. It has also guided families or adults who have or have not been diagnosed.

“Because of the way how our system is organized, there are not a lot of services in rural areas,” said Joshua Anbar, an ASSA board member and UA graduate student of public health and family and consumer sciences.

According to Anbar, people who live in a town hours away have to come to Tucson to find doctors or developed therapies. ASSA helps those people figure out where to go and what to do next. Anbar is also a self-advocate

for people diagnosed with autism and has talked about his perspective and journey through events such as the ASSA Speaker Series.

“It’s nice to have people in different walks of life and journey for this type of things,” Frieders

said. “Now we get a perspective of another person on spectrum who is in a unique situation, being in … [a] graduate program.”

Participants can pre-register for the walk at the ASSA website by April 5 at 9 a.m. for $20 or register at the event for $25.

Eller program ranks No. 1 for second year

BY QUINCY SINEK @quincymccllelan

Eller College of Management’s Management Information Systems graduate department was ranked No. 1 in public universities by U.S. News & World Report for 2020.

The MIS undergraduate program was also ranked No. 1 in public universities for 2019 by U.S. News & World Report.

Both programs are ranked third nationally, behind two private insitutions: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University.

Sue Brown has been the MIS department head within Eller for about three years. She said she was very excited when she heard the graduate program was ranked No. 1.

“The reason it’s particularly exciting is that we’re ranked number one at the undergraduate level as well, which means we are the number one public program for MIS,” Brown said.

Patti Ota, former UA vice president under Peter Likins and current associate professor

for the MIS department, said she was not surprised that MIS was ranked so highly.

“We’ve always been in the top one, two or three since I’ve been at the university,” Ota said.

U.S. News & World Report started its rankings in 1998. Eller’s MIS programs have been among the top five programs in the country for 30 consecutive years since the rankings began.

“I think it’s a testament to the quality of the faculty as well as the quality of our curriculum and the fantastic staff and students that we have,” Brown said. “This ranking doesn’t happen if you don’t have good faculty who are well respected or if you don’t have a good staff who can support us all.”

Ota said the ranking enables the MIS department to attract the best faculty and helps them recruit students into both Eller and the MIS department.

U.S. News & World Report uses certain criteria to rank the universities, including a peer assessment, a recruiter assessment, employment rates for for full-time

MBA program graduates and mean undergraduate GPA. “For graduate programs, our ranking relies very heavily on our reputation. U.S. News & World Report goes out to business-school deans and department heads and asks them, ‘Who are the top programs?’ and then they basically create this ranking list based on ‘Who do people in the field, people within the discipline, consider to be their strongest peers?’” said Anne Thwaits, director of marketing, communication and events for the MIS department.

Thwaits said to stay in this top ranking, the department works hard to recruit the best possible students. She said student success is very important to them, including making sure students have good work placement after they leave the program.

Due to the consistent high ranking of the program and the research the faculty do, the MIS department is able to continuously bring in top faculty that allows it to be such a good program, according to Thwaits. She said getting such a good ranking also ensures the

faculty’s hard work does not go unrecognized.

“It really confirms what we know about our faculty: that they are highly regarded by their peers, that they are doing research and scholarship that is being recognized by people at other institutions, by peer review journals,” Thwaits said.

Mark Patton, senior lecturer in the MIS department, said it feels good to work for such a great department with so many qualified faculty members.

“It just speaks to the capabilities of the faculty both within MIS and frankly across Eller,” Patton said. “This brings some awareness of Eller to other universities and to students.”

Brown said the department is continually reviewing its curriculum to ensure it is offering the most current topics in courses. She said without the dedication of its faculty and the value of its students, it would not be such a highly ranked program.

“It’s a combination of the reputation of the faculty and the quality of the students,” Brown said.

ARTS & LIFE | CONCENTRATION OPTION

Green Degree Guide spotlights sustainability

BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs

The University of Arizona has been looking to lead in environmental initiatives for nearly a decade — this was why the Institute of the Environment was founded in the first place: as a communal space for environmental researchers to come together to find solutions to environmental challenges and to interact with communities so they can make the best-informed decisions and teach students to do the same.

According to Raina Maier, interim director of IE, there are several paths the world can take in the next few decades, and some of them lead to an unsustainable future with “higher temperatures, extreme weather, drought, food shortages and unrest”.

It is a “grim-looking fate,” but Maier said she sees potential for change through students.

“There are roads we can take that can mitigate some of those outcomes,” Maier said. “It is important for everyone to become educated so that we as a society make the decision to take a sustainable road.”

As climate change proves to be a polarizing economic and political issue, it is becoming more apparent that sustainability is interdisciplinary — not only within the scientific field, but within arts, humanities and business, Maier said.

“The sciences define the chemical, physical and biological laws that predict what is going to happen,” Maier said. “But unless we can communicate that to the public — through words, through art, through movement, through dance — people can’t appreciate the importance.”

Since taking on the role of interim director over a year ago, Maier has made it her mission to encourage environmental coursework for UA students across all disciplines.

IE already provides the Green Degree Guide — a comprehensive list of all environmental and sustainability themed courses taught across the many platforms at the UA. The Green Degree Guide exists to help students include a “green” concentration in their degree, although it may not show up on a diploma at this time. However, Maier said she sees “Green Degrees” becoming legitimate in the future.

The green concentration exists so students of any major can add sustainability classes to their resume.

In almost any discipline — be it design, economics, government policy, engineering — there is an aspect influenced by the environment, Maier said.

According to Maier, by learning key

AMY BAILEY | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE ENR2 BUILDING IS home to the University of Arizona Institute of the Environment. The Institute of the Environment provides a Green Degree Guide to help all students add sustainabiity to their studies, regardless of major.

sustainability principles now, students can have a leg up in their future careers and play significant roles in spreading awareness in their field, which may not otherwise focus on environmentalism.

“Students will take those lessons to their next job and will be able to help their peers and supervisors understand why it is better to take a sustainable road, even if it looks more complex,” Maier said. “When these students take green courses, they get examples of how they can work in any industry and choose to be sustainable.”

Understanding governmental policy is important for having “an informed opinion and understanding of the climate initiative”, according to economics professor Stanley Reynolds, who teaches “Energy Markets and Environmental Economics”.

There are also considerable business opportunities arising from the unique obstacles climate change presents, Reynolds said.

Considering sustainability in optimizing business, industry and community is not only beneficial to the earth but to those involved.

“If we learn sustainability in conduction with other sciences and disciplines, if we teach students to consider the environmental impacts of their products, it will help students to design products better,” said Hongyue Jin, assistant

professor of systems and industrial engineering and affiliated faculty of IE. The arts, too, play a crucial role in communicating the message of environmental scientists and climatologists.

“The all-encompassing nature of the environmental challenges we face require the knowledge, perspective and skill sets of all disciplines,” said School of Art professor Ellen McMahon. “Art, design and the social and behavioral sciences are critical players in changing the way people think and act.”

McMahon, who teaches one of these “green” courses, titled “Art, Design and Environment,” said she teaches her students to bring their concerns about the environment out in their work because she believes understanding of climate change is sorely lacking in the art community.

“All students should take sustainabilitythemed courses to become more environmentally knowledgeable and responsible citizens,” McMahon said.

Maier’s current undertaking at IE is to augment the idea of the Green Degree Guide by making green concentrations more accessible and personalized for students and their unique interests.

Maier envisions a short quiz called find your path, about 10 questions, for students that helps them find a direction in environment and sustainability by

leading them to majors, minors, clubs and activities that align with their interests.

“My vision is that students interested in the environment from all over the country, all over the world, will be able to come to the UA website, be directed to their perfect major — their perfect path — and see themselves making Arizona a home for their environmental education,” Maier said.

Right now, Maier is working on figuring out the right questions to ask and the best way to direct students. With more research and the help of web developers and a future team of undergraduates to give feedback on the exercise, Maier said she hopes to see “Find Your Path” go live by the end of the summer.

Because of the university’s unique set of departments, more than 300 world-class faculty members and an emphasis on interdisciplinary environmentalism, Maier said she believes the UA has the potential to become one of the foremost schools for environment and sustainability in the country.

“We have the faculty, we have the students and we have the chance to make our world better,” Maier said.

According to Maier, teaching students outside of the sciences about the environment is crucial to maintaining the planet and the quality of human life.

OPINIONS | TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Is sustainability our responsibility?

COURTESY PEXELS

Toni Marcheva

We all know our actions of recycling our plastic cup, opting not to use a straw or skipping that burger will not save the world.

However, it’s incorrect to conclude that, therefore, those actions are meaningless. We not only have a responsibility to be sustainable, but our actions contribute to the solution. Our own actions reach far beyond ourselves. One person’s commitment to using reusable cups or going meatless on Mondays can inspire and spread to friends, who will, in turn, spread it even further. Shifts at our humble level spread throughout the economy. Nothing huge can change if industry doesn’t; fortunately, industry responds directly to the people’s wishes.

For example, Americans for several years have been showing a stronger preference for natural and healthy food. In response, according to Restaurant Business, Panera Bread removed artificial flavors and colors in 2017, Yum! Brands (Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell) have dramatically reduced their artificial flavors and colors with plans for a complete ban by 2020, and The Cheesecake Factory began sourcing antibiotic-free poultry, eggs, pork and beef (along with hundreds of other examples).

Now, Americans did not all at once decide to want healthy foods. It started with a few people wanting to change their behavior. People around them caught on, and restaurants saw they could serve these people better if they offered better options. The same cycle will work for sustainability. Many have started, but more need to follow.

And as Malcolm X famously said, “If not me, then who?”

Chuck Valadez

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a responsibility, but it is in one’s best interest to be sustainable. Climate change, without a doubt, is a big problem. Scientists working with the United Nations predict the effects of extreme climate change will be irreversible if we do not drastically reduce our emissions by the year 2030. Many cities, states and countries around the world have taken measures to try to make a difference.

Paris and Madrid have been looking to ban all but electric cars in their city centers, California has taken strong stances against plastic products to the point that San Francisco may ban all plastic water bottles, Seattle is looking to be carbon neutral by the year 2030 and Arizona rejected Proposition 127, which would have made Arizona run on 50 percent renewable energy by 2030. As Arizonans, we are not the most eco-friendly. We are currently on track to have only 15 percent of our energy come from renewable sources by 2025. For a state that has the ability to harness much of the sun’s power, we are quite obstinate to change. The rhetoric against climate change in Arizona (as well as the rhetoric against anything that stands against GOP beliefs) is more often than not reductio ad Californiam, an example of this being “Don’t California my Arizona”. Republican leaders against Proposition 127 used reductio ad Californiam as a pillar in arguing against the proposition. GOP leaders stated Prop 127 did not reflect Arizona’s beliefs and they much better represented California’s beliefs. Being sustainable is a choice, much like brushing your teeth is a choice. You should do it because it is wise, as you do not want an area that is unhealthy and reeking of rotten garbage.

Matthew Aguilar

We may have all heard the response to any fashionable and contemporary behavior of the time: “It’s the current year! Of course, it is our responsibility!” While I have absolutely no problem with this thinking, it becomes troublesome when living sustainably is insisted by the loudest voices and picked up by politicians eager for virtuous legislation on their Wikipedia pages. Living sustainably is a uniquely Western mentality that has been encouraged by the institutions, governments and advocates of exclusively wealthy countries that remind us to recycle, be mindful of our impact, plant a tree, be a role model for poor countries. Unfortunately, what I think some advocates fail to realize is their target audience do not even live in the same hemisphere responsible for the overwhelming majority of the world’s ocean, air and land pollution. A report on marine pollution, “Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean” (2015), revealed that the European Union ranked 18th, beating out North Korea (19th) and the United States (20th) in terms of percent share of estimated plastic marine debris. Taking the top spots: China and many Southeast Asian countries. The report concluded, “Improving waste management infrastructure in developing countries is paramount and require[s] substantial resources and time”. Instead of lecturing Americans or Europeans about living sustainably, I think a more worthwhile approach would be to extend the virtue to countries that lack the very notion of it.

Anika Pasilis

I believe that, since we all the know the impacts of climate change and wastefulness, it is our responsibility to lead more sustainable lifestyles. This can include not buying as much fast fashion, using reusable packaging and taking shorter showers. Making decisions like these is hardly inconvenient, and it is something we are all capable of: to make the world a better place to live in. As college students with access to multiple resources, as well as being surrounded by examples of sustainable living every day, all of us should take these into account in our personal life. I appreciate the fact that now, more than ever, we have options for sustainable clothing, makeup and other things we use on a daily basis. With all of these options, there is no excuse to not incorporate at least one of them in your daily life. Try using up the products you already have instead of buying into our consumerist culture. Be the change you want to see in the world!

Alec Scott

It is absolutely up to every person to try to live as sustainably as possible, be it from lessening our water waste, recycling as much as possible or buying fuelefficient cars that leave less pollution in the air. But personal waste and pollution pale in comparison to the output of large corporations and industries far beyond our individual control. What is the point of shortening our time spent in the shower if large agricultural companies will flood the Sonoran Desert with hundreds of tons of water to grow cotton? If we can not get all of the pieces of our society together on the same page of sustainability, then it may all be for nothing. Even further, pushing personal sustainability over industrial-scale sustainability may hurt the poorest who can hardly afford to make such changes in their life, such as more efficient cars, buying products that were made using less pollution and investing in expensive new technologies to limit pollutants.

August Pearson

Sustainability is defined in three ways: being able to be used without being destroyed, using systems that do not destroy natural resources and the ability to go on and last for a long time. The human race has not had a good track record of being sustainable. The Earth’s natural resources are dwindling as people continue to use them up and damage the environment without considering alternatives and forms of preservation. This being said, if people want to continue the way they’re living right now, it is everyone’s responsibility to be sustainable. Also, in order to preserve the Earth in the hopes of giving future generations the same quality of life we have now, measures need to be taken by everyone to maintain sustainability, such as preserving water, recycling as much as possible and even cutting back on meat.

Although it is easy to think you personally do not have to make life changes because others are making them, nothing will change with that mindset. It is everyone’s responsibility to do whatever they can to be sustainable and to preserve the Earth, and life as we know it.
