Potential new athletics fee causes ASUA uproar

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona Athletics is currently exploring a potential new $200 student athletics fee that would be charged yearly to every incoming student.

“We’re still early on in the process, but we are exploring a fee that will go to benefit major overhaul of the infrastructure of Arizona Stadium,” said Greg Byrne, director of athletics.

“There are parts of Arizona

Stadium that are over 90 years old that we have to replace.”

As they move forward, their goal is for this to be a group effort, and that this fee would be complemented with fundraising from donors and season ticket holders.

“We believe Arizona Stadium and Arizona football is very much a shining star of our campus,” Byrne said. “It’s a place where our entire community comes together, and it’s something that our community, our university,

our students and our studentathletes take pride in.”

Byrne emphasized that no current student would have to pay the fee, only incoming students, because Arizona Athletics felt that it wouldn’t be right to charge current students.

So far, Byrne said that they have received mixed feedback and are still at the information-gathering point in their process. He noted that it is important to them to be transparent throughout this entire process.

Joe Zanoni, Assosiated Students of the University of Arizona senator and political science senior, said he questions where the transparency has been, and thinks the fee’s exploratory process has been extremely flawed.

“I know nothing has been proposed yet, but the discussion that has been taking place without student input is not a discussion at all, but has the

U.S. citizens face border injustice

BY AVA GARCIA

The Daily Wildcat

A study conducted from 2005 to 2007 by UA researchers showed that permanent residents of the U.S. sometimes faced discrimination by local authorities in communities near the U.S.-Mexico border. Nearly 10 years later, the situation in these border communities may not be changing for these residents.

Dr. Samantha Sabo, an assistant professor in the department of health promotion sciences in the UA College of Public Health and the lead author of the study’s manuscript, said that “things haven’t improved” because there have been more antiimmigration laws passed since the conclusion of the study.

“I can’t say for sure, but I can only say that there’s been more severe laws that have been put into place and there’s been more money allocated to the Department of Homeland Security in terms of border immigration control,” Sabo said. “I would only assume that these things exist today.”

Sabo conducted the study, titled “Everyday Violence, Structural Racism and Mistreatment at the U.S.–Mexico Border,” with other UA faculty. The study focused on the health of migrant farmworkers in the border regions, which also included a look at the militarization of the border with things like racial profiling and immigration-related violence.

During the time the study was conducted, several policies concerning immigration were passed. These policies allowed local police forces to ask community members questions regarding their immigration status, Sabo said.

Sabo said that through the study they found that these policies, which

THE U.S. SIDE of the fence defining the U.S.-Mexico border on Dec. 6, 2015. Studies have shown that permanent U.S. citizens living near the border sometimes face discrimination from local authorities.

“officers may inquire into [people’s] residence status, either by asking a few questions or by checking papers … so long as the stops are not truly random” and officers have reasonable suspicion that “an automobile contains illegal aliens,” according to an online document about the Fourth Amendment by the United States Government Publishing Office.

“It’s an interesting point of fact that is quite disturbing, which is why when there’s lawsuits against Arizona or anybody for racial profiling;there’s little that anybody can do about it,” O’Leary said. “A high percentage [of those in border communities] are U.S. citizens with every right to conduct business and to live here and to work here, yet they are always subjected to detention because they look like they’re Mexican.”

When discrimination-related issues occur within this region— which O’Leary said is often called the deconstitutionalized region by immigrant rights groups—those

who are discriminated against are often afraid to file a complaint about their treatment, according to Sabo.

“Most people said that they would not make a complaint out of fear that they would be deported, even though they’re citizens or permanent residents, or that somebody would come after their family or that they would lose property,” she said. “So even though people have all of these rights, they’re still very, very fearful to push against the system that exists.”

In order to solve this problem, Sabo recommended increased transparency within the Border Patrol. She said that she listed several policy recommendations in a different study that she worked on with Alison Elizabeth Lee, titled “The Spillover of U.S. Immigration Policy on Citizens and Permanent Residents of Mexican Descent: How Internalizing ‘Illegality’ Impacts Public Health in the Borderlands” and published online in June 2015

are directed at undocumented people, “spillover” into the citizens and permanent residents of these border communities—many of which are of Mexican descent.

The study, she said, focuses on the concept of “everyday violence” happening to these people “just because of what they look like.”

“That’s a really big issue because in that paper, you might have seen that there were several instances of verbal abuse, emotional abuse and even physical abuse that were occurring to people that were not at all in violation of a law,” Sabo said.

“They were living their daily lives.

They were working, they were going to school, they were going to the grocery store.”

No less than 30 percent of the participants in the study experienced “immigration-related mistreatment,” according to Sabo.

The participants in the study were predominantly U.S. citizens, permanent residents of the country and had lived an average of 15 to 20 years in the U.S. prior to the study. This mistreatment included racial profiling, being pulled over or stopped at the border, being detained for hours and, in some cases, verbal or physical abuse, according to Sabo.

However, this ability to “stop and ask people questions based on the fact that they look like they might be immigrants” is actually written in the constitution in one of the amendments under the Fourth Amendment called border exceptions, according to Anna O’Leary, the department head of Mexican-American studies and an associate professor in the department.

These exceptions come into play a certain distance from the border, where for roving stops

troubling appearance of a backroom deal,” he said.

Zanoni has been asking for answers and information since before winter break, but says that ASUA president Manny Felix has not only left the senate in the dark, but the students as well.

“Having campaigned on outreach and more transparency, I need to deliver, especially since there’s a new $200 fee being discussed that no one knows about,” Zanoni said.

After voicing his concerns at last week’s senate meeting, Zanoni has formed a senate committee that aims at demanding transparency in exploration of the fee and including students in the discussion.

“I want to focus on the process: get me a proposal of why you need this fee and why other avenues can’t be used, or if [Byrne] even explored other avenues,” Zanoni said. “There might be drastic things that need to be repaired, but why haven’t we heard about them?

Given what we know now, it doesn’t look like an attractive investment for students. That might change once we have the full conversation.”

Currently eight out of the 10 public universities in the Pac-12 Conference have a student athletics fee, with the University of Washington and the UA being the only ones who don’t and Arizona State University implementing a fee just last year.

“Just because someone’s doing something doesn’t mean you should. I don’t see the need for an athletics fee,” Zanoni said. “I get we have faced budget cuts, but using students as a source of revenue for a fee that would impact very few doesn’t seem like a justified fee.”

Byrne said they’re still working through the details on how to handle graduate students, but seven of the eight public schools that have student fees for athletics have the graduate students pay for it as well.

Sarah Netherton, Graduate Student Professional Council president, said Byrne has met with the GSPC and heard its opinions on the fee. The GSPC suggested a staggered fee or a fee waiver based on income levels, since this would increase mandatory graduate student fees by 20 percent.

“We have talked about how we can make this feasible and not put all the burden on the students. There isn’t a hard proposal yet, so we’re talking about what can be mutually beneficial, if that’s possible,”

“

Netherton said.

The GSPC put out a survey on the fee roughly two weeks ago, and have since received about 1,200 responses.

Of the responses, 85 percent were opposed, while 15 percent said they were neutral or in favor of the fee, according to Netherton.

“Athletics adds value, but primarily to the undergraduate experience—graduate students are so busy and so broke,” Netherton said.

According to Byrne, the athletics fee would replace the current ZonaZoo membership fee. That way, incoming students who pay it would get an automatic ZonaZoo membership.

Byrne also stated that current students—who would be exempt from the new fee—would still have the option of buying a ZonaZoo membership.

Zanoni said the idea of making it so the whole student body has some sort of access to ZonaZoo is unrealistic, and that regardless, this is still an enormous burden for students who already have trouble paying tuition and living costs.

He went on to say that — Joe Zanoni, it is deeply troubling that ASUA Senator the students are being looked at as a source of funding for such a rich entity.

“Why should students pay $200 to a department that ranks 21st in the nation in revenue? They made a whopping $99 million in 2014—$7.9 million of that the UA funded,” Zanoni said.

“If you do the math of $200 per student, that would be roughly equivalent to $8.4 million, so why should students pay more than the university funds?”

Ultimately, this potential fee would have to be supported by President Ann Weaver Hart and then proposed to the Arizona Board of Regents.

Senior vice president of Academic Affairs and Provost Andrew Comrie said via email that the board establishes a single deadline for all tuition and fee requests from all three universities to be submitted each year, and that this year’s deadline is March 4.

“We hope for some direction this spring,” Byrne said. “If implemented, there would be a student advisory group that would help us prioritize where the money is spent in the Arizona Stadium to benefit the students, and we would audit everything on an annual basis, to make sure students know that 100 percent of the money is being used on what we said it’s being used for.”

Why should students pay $200 to a department that ranks 21st in the nation in revenue?

Hispanic children underinsured Hispanic children in the state of Arizona are grossly uninsured compared to the rest of the country, despite the Affordable Care Act

BY Mackenzie Boulter The Daily Wildcat

While the federal government is fighting over socialized health care, a large percentage of the populations most vulnerable are left uninsured.

A recent study conducted by the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute says that 12.7 percent of Hispanic children in Arizona do not have health insurance—a statistic greater than the national average. In Arizona, approximately 34 percent of Hispanic children are living in poverty. This, and several other reasons, may be contributing to the high percentage of Hispanic children that are uninsured.

After the freezing of the KidsCare Arizona’s Children’s Health Insurance Program in January 2010 due to a lack of funding, many of the state’s youth were left uninsured until the expansion of Medicaid in 2013 under the Affordable Care Act. This made Arizona the only state in the union that did not provide healthcare for youth under 18 years old during

this time, according to a report on the state’s website.

“Poverty is, I think, really one of the big, big underlying factors,” said Andrea Romero, director of the Frances McClelland Institute at the UA. “The amount of children living in poverty in Arizona is remarkable.”

According to the Kids Count Data Center, 34.1 percent of Hispanic children are living below the poverty level in Arizona.

The prevalence of poverty combined with the removal of a free access health care program for children is accounting for the higher rates of uninsured children to a great degree, according to Romero.

In addition to poverty, another obstacle is the language barrier.

Jorge Bours, a political science senior, said that this is a huge issue considering the percentage of Latino families that call Arizona home.

“It’s confusing for some Hispanic families to choose certain plans and policies in a country where they might not speak the language,” he said.

Arizona is home to many different

ethnic groups and has one of the largest populations of Latinos in the U.S. Despite this, Arizona is ranked third highest for the percentage of children uninsured.

“This same struggle may also stand as an issue for immigrants and their families, as the bureaucratic processes for them make it really difficult to reach out for necessary things such as health insurance,” Bours said. “Arizona has some of the toughest immigration laws in the United States since the Senate Bill 1070 was signed into law in 2010.”

Arizona laws against illegal immigrants prohibit them from receiving public benefits, such as health care.

There are some Hispanic families that are hesitant to apply for health insurance through the government because they have what is called a “mixed status household.”

A mixed status household refers to any circumstance where only one person in the family may be undocumented but the rest of the family members classify as legal

citizens, Romero said.

Although there is only a small percentage of people in this situation, it stands as another barrier that may prevent families from getting their children covered under medical insurance.

“It’s so critical for children to have health access because then they can get their shots and early screenings to find out if there is any health issues of concern,” Romero said.

In a report conducted by Romero and her colleagues, data shows that Latino youth show more mental and physical health problems than any other ethnicity. This raises even more of a concern for Arizona’s percentage of uninsured Hispanic children, as they may be the ones who need it most.

“It has a huge negative impact if our youth are not getting the health access they need,” Romero said.

‘Incident’ in Koffler ends in tragedy

Leave packages with us.

And worries behind.

BY LAUREN RENTERIA AND SAM GROSS The Daily Wildcat

There was no indication of foul play in the death of a male UA student at the Koffler building Tuesday morning. UAPD detectives have yet to release a cause of death, but are currently investigating it as a suicide, according to a UAPD media release.

An official classification on cause of death is expected Wednesday, according to the UAPD media release.

A heavy police presence occupied the plaza behind the Koffler building, and UAPD blocked off the walkway connecting Biological Sciences and Koffler in response to what UAPD Public Information Officer, Sgt. Filbert Barrera, called an “incident,” early Tuesday.

The incident occurred inside the stairwell on the west side of the building, according to a police aide on scene.

Family members of the deceased student have been contacted and UA counselors will be available to friends and classmates of the student.

Students with personal concerns or questions should contact UA Counseling and Psychological Services at 520-621-3334, available 24 hours per day. Staff and faculty are encouraged to contact UA Life and Work Connections at 520-621-2493.

These policy suggestions include a “transparent, community-centered oversight system to document and monitor immigrationrelated victimization” and creating a plan for accountability for law enforcement “to systematically report and respond to community concerns of corruption and excessive use of force,” according to the study.

O’Leary, who has been a coordinator for community organizations involved in research concerning farm worker populations in Yuma, said that civic engagement could create changes in these border communities.

“Those who can mobilize politically should do so in defense of those who can’t defend themselves because they’re constantly being targeted or discriminated,” O’Leary said.

“Elections have consequences, and those of us who care what our country looks like have to take steps to be civically engaged to improve the world so that it reflects our values.”

The Dangers of Detox With the holidays behind us and a new year underway, we may feel the need to undo the damage we did to our bodies with all the comfort foods and Christmas cookies we ate last month. Some people hit the gym, start a new diet, or both. Others decide it’s time to detox or “cleanse.”

Detox diets claim to cleanse your body of toxins. Most claim additional benefits such as improving health, energy, digestion, and encouraging weight loss.

There are many types of detox diets, all of which have different guidelines and durations (with most lasting anywhere from 3-10 days). Some versions involve fasting while only consuming a homemade drink or special tea for a designated period of time.

Others involve only consuming fruits, vegetables and water. Some detox diets are more sophisticated and involve taking a series of supplements while following a specific food plan.

The safety of these diets are questionable for a number of reasons.

First, these diets have little scientific evidence supporting their efficacy.

Second, they seldom provide the amount of nutrients and calories our bodies need to function at their very best. While following a detox diet for

3 days won’t necessarily cause malnutrition, a restrictive diet lasting 7 days of more may be harmful. Lastly, the ingredients used in detox diets often act as laxatives or diuretics, which can lead to electrolyte imbalances and dehydration over a prolonged period.

All of these factors may leave you feeling fatigued, irritable, and foggy, not to mention, “hangry”! They may also cause headaches, cravings, and stomach upset.

There’s no doubt our bodies are exposed to toxins.* Lucky for us, our kidneys and liver are designed to filter and remove toxins from our bodies naturally. The best way to “detox” is by eating lots of vegetables and fruits every day while following a balanced diet based on variety and moderation.

If you are hell-bent on detoxing, keep in mind that a detox diet should be treated more as a “kick start” to making healthier food choices as a new way of life. If you plan to pursue a detox diet that lasts longer than 7 days, it’s recommended you do so under the supervision of a professional and with an understanding of its potential negative consequences. * from the environment, food, water, and personal care and cleaning products.

96% of UA students have not used cocaine in the past 30 days. (2015 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,705) Courtney Helman/The Daily Wildcat

The UA College of Nursing located on Mabel Street and Martin Avenue on Saturday, Jan. 24. A U.S News and World Report ranked its online graduate program No. 23 in the world for 2016.

Nursing online ranked 23rd in world BY chastity laskey The Daily Wildcat

U.S. News & World Report has ranked the UA College of Nursing’s online graduate program 23rd in the world.

Currently, the graduate nursing program offers three degree paths: Doctor of Nursing Practice, Master of Science in Nursing Clinical Systems Leadership and a Doctor of Philosophy.

Clinical professor and program coordinator for the online Registered Nurse to Master of Science in Nursing program, Cheryl Lacasse, said she is not surprised by the rank because the college has had high-quality programs from the very beginning.

“We have very stellar faculty in lots of different specialties who are extremely high quality and exceptional educators,” Lacasse said. “We also have good administrative support and students who rise to the occasion.”

According to Lacasse, the college prepares students for the many different roles they may encounter both in today’s healthcare system and in that of the future.

Elizabeth Knight, who graduated from both the Degree for Nursing Practice and master’s programs last December, said she was initially apprehensive about all the material taught in an online format. However, the online format ended up being very effective and she said she had a good experience.

Knight is currently working as a nurse practitioner for the UA College of Medicine’s Mobile Health Unit and is also teaching part time for the UA DNP online program.

“I think that the leadership and the faculty really adapted to the online environment and worked to make it effective,” Knight said.

U.S. News & World Report broke its 2016 rankings into five differently weighted categories: 30 percent student engagement,

25 percent faculty credentials and training, 20 percent peer reputation, 15 percent student services and technology, and 10 percent admissions selectivity.

This year the UA rose 13 spots from 36th last year. The UA is the only school in Arizona to be ranked in the top 50.

Lacasse said she has a dual role as an administrator and a senior faculty member in the program. She is responsible for making sure the program runs efficiently and maintains a level of quality and consistency throughout the RN-MSN program.

“Here at the college, we’re always thinking about ways we can improve what we do,” Lacasse said.

Knight said she thinks the college has worked really hard to identify things that might need to be improved upon before they become issues.

“From an educational standpoint, we’re always looking for ways to collaborate within the college and with our colleagues across campus to increase innovative delivery of our educational programs,” Lacasse said.

Knight said the college and its faculty have worked hard to encourage student engagement.

They have made in-person experiences more effective at building communities and made online teaching more effective by developing the knowledge and skills that can then be furthered online.

Lacasse also noted that the college’s faculty is very invested in making sure they deliver the most relevant information health care providers require the students to know about.

“We’re in a constant evolutionary process in making sure that we’re updated, and really stretching beyond in what we see in the health care arena to make things better,” Lacasse said.

Is it true that cocaine sobers you up?

No. The only way to “sober up” is by allowing your liver to eliminate alcohol from your bloodstream over time. You will not sober up by taking a shower, drinking coffee, or eating food, and certainly not by using cocaine.

Cocaine, also known as coke, snow, white girl, or blow, is a central nervous system stimulant that produces a “high” feeling of euphoria, along with an increase in energy and talkativeness.

However, these effects are very short-lived. Increasing the dose of cocaine may intensify the high briefly, but can also lead to bizarre, erratic, and violent behavior.

Cocaine also causes an increase in body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure, which is dangerous for your central nervous system. Some cocaine users also report feelings of restlessness, irritability, anxiety, panic, and paranoia.

Experiencing all of those side effects on top of being intoxicated is very dangerous. When mixing cocaine and alcohol, you may initially think you are more alert and energized, but you are still intoxicated. This combination will cause a dramatic increase in heart rate, which could lead to a heart attack or stroke, and cause sudden death. Combining cocaine and alcohol is more toxic to the brain than either substance alone.

So, how long will it take for you to “sober up”? It depends on how much you drink, how much you weigh, and the speed at which your liver enzymes metabolize alcohol. To stay safe, monitor your drinking, stay within your “sweet spot” (BAC of .05 or less) and stop drinking at a reasonable hour, especially if you have class or work the next day.

COLOR IN THE LINES

BY SAMMY CHERUKURI The Daily Wildcat

Remember those lazy summer days as a child? Sitting in the living room with a giant box of crayons and a coloring book filled with pictures of your favorite fictional character?

Your child self does. Now, even adults can feel at ease and peaceful like that child by coloring.

Coloring books for adults have become the hip new way to relieve mental and physical stress. One can find them prominently displayed in the front sections of booksellers.

They’re an alluring method to alleviate stress, and their appeal is simple and creative. Adults channel their inner child while adding a bit of their wizened flare into the pictures.

Psychologically, coloring helps the mind to focus on onetask, and can be as beneficial as yoga and other exercises.

Cindy Juarez, a psychology junior, has a great knowledge of just how beneficial coloring as an adult can be. “[Coloring] can be therapeutic to those who enjoy coloring just as some people use listening to music as a form of relaxation or meditation. It really depends on the person and how they like to cope with their stress,” she said.

“Sometimes focusing on one specific hobby you enjoy doing can distract your mind from wandering.”

Naturally, I had to feed my curiosity and try it. Accompanied

by Juarez, I joined a coloring session

at Mostly Books on Speedway Boulevard. The store had a wonderful, peaceful ambiance.

Mostly Books holds a weekly session titled Adult Coloring Hour, where any person can bring in coloring books and relax. My experience here was peaceful, and I was fortunate enough to sit with coowner and coloring enthusiast Bobbe Arnett.

Arnett owns Mostly Books with her sister, Tricia Clappe, and loves that her store offers Adult Coloring Hour.

“We did it over Thanksgiving,” Arnett said. “We had a coloring afternoon, and told people to come relieve your shopping stress, come have some quiet ... They thought it was a great alternative. We love it.”

After chatting with Arnett, I started to color. My brain stayed focused, and I found myself lost in a different world as I focused on staying within the lines.

The process allowed me to release my creativity as I added new colors to every different shape printed on the page.

Enjoyable new-age relaxation music played throughout the store, adding to the experience.

T e r r i Setteducato was a fellow coloring participant, and when asked about her experience with coloring, she lit up.

“I grab my coloring book during those tense moments in a movie where the bad guys are looking to kill one of the

characters,” she said. “I can’t sit there watching it. Usually I get up and leave the room. But now, I just pick up my coloring book, and start coloring ... that allows me to sit there and listen without having to watch the whole thing.”

If you find yourself beaten down by the daily challenges of life, pick up some crayons and a fat coloring book and embrace that colorful child you once were.

BODYTRAFFIC pushes the limits of dance

BY ERNESTO FIERRO The Daily Wildcat

Contemporary dance company known as BODYTRAFFIC , will be performing this Friday at 8 p.m. in Centennial Hall.

Lillian Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett founded BODYTRAFFIC in 2007, and since then the company has been recognized as one of the most influential dance organizations around the country.

Their reputation grew as a result of their high quality work in the form of modern dance as well as their outreach to private and public organizations. Not only have they performed in front of soldout audiences at theaters across North America, but they have also established educational and outreach programs aimed at providing opportunities for future generations BODYTRAFFIC works with aspiring dancers of all ages, levels and various demographics to help them develop a critical understanding of the connection between their physical bodies and dancing.

“The outstanding teachers and members of BODYTRAFFIC offer technique improvisation, composition, repertory and a combination of activities,” according to the company’s website.

BODYTRAFFIC implements the

use of improvisation and structured choreographic activities to further communicate through dance.

“They are a young, fresh, and enthusiastic team that dedicates their time and energy to modern dancing, as well as contemporary dancing” said Susan O. Holden, marketing manager at UA Presents. “BODYTRAFFIC became a huge factor in helping to establish not just contemporary dancing in general, but dancing in Los Angeles, an area that was not well known for having a dance environment.”

Like many other groups throughout the nation, BODYTRAFFIC’s work is comprised of a style known as “contemporary dance,” which focuses on connecting the mind and body through fluid movement. Combining several dance genres such as modern, jazz and lyrical, contemporary dance focuses on alignment, oppositional movement and systematic breathing.

Developed during the mid-20th century, contemporary dancing has grown to become one of the most dominant forms of dance throughout the United States and many parts of Europe. Its roots can be traced back to the 1950s when Merce Cunningham, an American dancer and choreographer, began to develop ideas that went against the established conceptions of modern dance.

Some of his ideas included composing in space without a goal, and thereby moving away from figurative or emotional references. This created abstraction from movement as an expression, and developed an independence between dance and music.

BODYTRAFFIC has established itself as one of the most entertaining and aspiring groups for dance enthusiasts.

“They’re fun, energetic, and the way they incorporate their athletic abilities into their dancing is extremely amazing,” Holden answered about why non-dance enthusiasts should attend this event.

“It’s appealing even to those that are not familiar with their work as well as those that do not consider themselves dance enthusiasts.”

For those interested in attending this event, tickets can be purchased online or in person at Centennial Hall.

Confessions of an 18th Century pickup artist

BY Jamelia Riz

The Daily Wildcat

As part of Robert Burns Day, the life and poetry of famous Scottish poet Robert Burns was celebrated Jan. 25 at Burns Suppers around the world.

The gatherings praise Burns, recital of his poetry and the traditional Scottish dish haggis, which is a savory pudding made with sheep heart, liver and lung mixed with onion, oatmeal, and spices all stuffed into an animal’s stomach.

Unfortunately, haggis has been illegal in the U.S. since 1971 due to the Food and Drug Administration ban of the sheep lung that constitutes 1015 percent of the dish.

Don’t file your immigration forms to the U.K. just yet, however! You can still join with Burns in spirit by drinking scotch.

Most would only be familiar with Burns from “Auld Lang

Syne,” which has become a traditional New Year’s Eve song. Little did I know that the 18th century Scottish poet is regarded as a pioneer of Romanticism. Burns once declared his love would last “till a’the seas gang dry,” but also wrote less charming—but still passionate—poetry.

Ever the romantic, look no further than “The Reels o Bogie,” an entertaining account of 18th century pickup technique.

In “The Reels o Bogie,” Burns advises men to “tip [the] coggie” of a woman they are interested in, i.e. to buy her a drink. After the “coggie” business is settled, Burns is convinced that all the “lasses” will “spreid wide their snawwhite thies an rowe aboot their wanton een, An when they see your pintle rise they’ll dance the reels o Bogie” and chatting to their “lass.”

Lovely, isn’t it? It seems that

Burns thought himself the “Hitch” of his century. I would not be surprised to find out that Bill Cosby is a huge Burns fan.

In case any of you developed an interest in Burns from reading excerpts from his poems, a Robert Burns Supper will be held Jan. 30 by the Tucson Celtic Festival and Scottish Highland Games.

If you are still not convinced that this event is worth your money and time, just listen to a rendition of Burns by the star of “Outlander,” Sam Heughan.

If only a Burns Supper involved listening to Heughan read about pintles, bangers and hangers, more people would celebrate Burns.

Wouldn’t you?

Humans of UA

BY CERA NACCARATO The Daily Wildcat

I have social anxiety.

I talk to people and suddenly my mind races as incessant questions pop up. How often had I said “um”? Is my face normal right now? Why can’t I feel my arms? Am I breathing? On and on and on. This process is crippling and often results in an inability to effectively communicate with those around me.

So I came up with an idea.

Humans of New York is a blog run by Brandon Stanton who wanders the streets of New York with his camera. At first, he wanted to capture the faces of people he’d pass every day in hopes of cataloguing the city’s inhabitants on a map. Along the way, he began collecting quotes and stories from his models.

By pairing faces with words, Brandon highlighted the personalities of those he photographed and showed readers ways in which they could relate to complete strangers. He was able to creatively connect citizens not only in New York, but also around the world.

“Travel, I would say, is probably my biggest thing. I actually, I just got out of the Air Force. I was in for five years and was overseas for most of the time. So that’s basically where I discovered how much I like to travel, meet new people, try new experiences, stuff like that”

To challenge my own social inhibitions and continue in the spirit of Humans of New York, I give you: Humans of UA.

”PHOTO of Patrick Beauchamp, a microbiology freshman, who spent five years in the Air Force and believes college is “opening [his] eyes up to how much [he] doesn’t know.”

“I kinda like the idea of going to a big college but it’s opening my eyes to how much I don’t know.”

“There’s a lot of options, degree programs here. My cousin’s here, he’s doing the neuroscience and cognitive science—which is I guess like a unique major here—and I’m kinda interested in that.”

“Hold on—I gotta make sure my mustache is nice and proper.”

LEFT TO RIGHT Derrick Broka, Dr. Jane Schroeder and graduate students Sabrina Maisel and Erin Greenwood stand in Schroeder’s research lab on Friday, Jan. 22. The Schroeder lab is investigating a cancer therapy that has shown promise in pre-clinical trials.

Cancer therapy shows promise UA Cancer Center researcher sees positive results after testing drug in mice

BY LUCAS HERRELL

The Daily Wildcat

Dr. Joyce Schroeder’s new peptidebased therapy may prove extremely useful in the world’s ongoing battle against cancer.

Peptides are small chains of amino acids that form structures called proteins, which play numerous important roles in human cells.

We all know someone who has experienced—or even succumbed to—the horror that we call cancer. It’s a disease not caused by the dysfunction of one gene, but by the dysfunction of many.

The National Cancer Institute estimated that over 1.5 million people would develop cancer in 2015 alone, and of those 1.5 million, over onethird would die. Cancer is a disease that doctors and researchers still have an extremely difficult time treating, even after the advances made in chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy.

Schroeder is a leading cancer researcher at the Arizona Cancer Center and professor in molecular and cellular biology at the UA. She has developed a new treatment that may help those with metastatic breast cancer. The most promising part

about Schroeder’s drug is that preclinical trials in mice demonstrated no detectable toxicity. Her lab discovered a cellular process that happens in cancer cells—specifically the epithelial cells of the breast—but not in normal cells. This is what she targeted.

Her work so far has shown that a small peptide called PMIP can simultaneously impact the functions of three different cancer-driving proteins: SRC, EGFR and betacatenin. SRC was the first oncogene to be discovered, and is a major driver of metastasis. EGFRs (epithelial growth factor receptors) can contribute to excessive cancer cell proliferation.

Beta-catenin is a protein that can also induce proliferation in cancer cells whose regulatory mechanisms are absent or nonfunctional.

The Schroeder lab has shown that PMIP can inhibit the function of all three of these proteins, which severely hinders any attempt that a cancer cell makes at metastasis. Results from mouse studies showed that, when injected with PMIP, tumors shrunk dramatically.

Schroeder’s interest in science started young.

“I had a mother who loved to point out natural phenomena,” she said.

“There was never a time in my life

where nature wasn’t cool and I didn’t want to learn more about it.”

Her fascination with science continued into college.

She obtained her Bachelor of Science in microbiology from the UA, and proceeded to pursue studies in the subject in graduate school at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Schroeder said that she tried multiple labs in graduate school, and eventually ended up in a lab that employed virology to identify new oncogenes, or genes that when over-expressed, contribute to tumorigenesis.

She hasn’t stopped working on cancer since. So why does Schroeder believe that her new therapy may prove so much more effective than those we see advertised on TV? “Most [of these drugs] are being marketed not by scientists, but by people who are good at marketing that overemphasize the good and do the opposite for the bad,” she said. “The vulnerable are being misinformed.”

TV ads often don’t convey the seriousness of side effects brought on by some cancer drugs, which can sometimes be as uncomfortable for patients as the disease itself. Data from studies in mice has revealed that

PMIP activity is observed for up to four hours in breast cancer cells, but not in normal cells. This means (in theory) that only cancerous cells die; healthy ones do not. Many therapies are nonspecific, meaning that they affect all of a certain type of cell—not just the cancerous ones. Often, this lack of specificity causes side-effects such as immune system dysfunction, diarrhea and vomiting.

Schroeder believes that in order for humanity to finally win the battle against cancer, a lot more basic science needs to be done. According to her, this lack of basic science is the reason most therapies fail.

She hopes that in the near future, we can “turn cancer into a chronic disease instead of a deadly disease.”

She sees a future where we can keep people alive living with cancer.

As of right now, the Schroeder lab is finishing up the research that deals with the new therapy so that they can apply for investigational new drug status with the FDA. Once granted IND, Schroeder will have permission from the FDA to begin phase I clinical trials.

Annual research conference a huge success

BY Renee Conway The Daily Wildcat

The UA is home to many bright researchers, and in particular, undergraduate researchers.

The Undergraduate Biology Research Program at the UA was established in 1988 in order to provide undergraduate students with paid research opportunities.

Students in the program work in depth with a UA faculty researcher on a project, and are provided mentorship from a professional scientific community. These students presented their research at the 27th Annual UBRP Conference on Jan. 23.

This year’s conference featured the work of over 130 students.

Though UBRP is a biology research program, the students’ work included topics in biomedical engineering, cancer, genetics, health and disease, microbiology, molecules and cells, nature and the environment, and neuroscience and cognitive science.

Suhitha Veeravelli, physiology junior and UBRP researcher, has been studying whether a sensor-based balance training program for HIVinfected patients can help improve their balance and mobility while also increasing their activity level.

Prior to UBRP, Veeravelli had only presented her research at conferences geared toward other scientists.

“This is the first setting that was more geared towards the general public, so I really tried to share my research in a way that was accessible, educational and exciting to the public,” she said.

She was also happy to finally share her work with her family and friends at the UBRP conference.

Sierra Kaszubinski, biology junior and an undergraduate UBRP researcher that presented at the conference, has been researching a fungus, called Aspergillus flavus, that affects agricultural crops in southeastern United States.

Kaszubinski hopes to contribute to a better understanding of the ecology of the the southeastern U.S., and believes that her work may aid in the development of a biological control mechanism for the problem caused by

pathogenic A. flavus.

Madison Egan, a nutrition and molecular and cellular biology junior, said, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in UBRP.” Over the summer, Egan worked with a nutritional sciences research team to develop and test a Type 2 diabetes prevention program called the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition that led 9-to-12-year-old children through fun, family-based activities.

Her UBRP project focused on recruitment of children to the study and investigated the accuracy of parent-reported height and weight in children and adolescents. Egan’s research is working on aims to reduce the risk factors, such as parentreported height and weight, for children and adolescents developing Type 2 diabetes.

Attendees had the opportunity to learn about how cartilage tissue is being engineered from adiposederived stem cells; the evolutionary history of specific genes; novel drug targets in asthma treatment; a model for Parkinson’s disease in patientspecific fibroblasts; how scientists are using microbiota presence to evaluate mine re-vegetation success; the effects of estrogen on temperature regulation in mice and much more.

“It looks like it will be a really interesting conference, with a wide range of projects to learn about,” said Carol Bender, director of UBRP, before the conference.

Aside from poster presentations

by UA undergraduates, there were hands-on science activities, a keynote address by Dr. Mounir Koussa, a UBRP alumnus, on how studying single molecule biophysics shapes his world, and presentations from participants in the Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention.

Lecture series kicks off with a bang

BY Hannah Dinell The Daily Wildcat

This year marks the 10-year anniversary and 11th lecture series presented by the UA College of Science. The series, which began in the spring of 2006, focuses on a different topic each year. This year’s series, titled “Earth Transformed,” will discuss the impact of global climate change on the Earth with lectures examining the physical aspects of climate change and discussing what humans can do to reduce their role in the process.

The series includes seven lectures that began Jan. 25 and continue through March 7. All of the lectures will take place in Centennial Hall.

Dean Joaquin Ruiz of the college of science has been involved with the series since its beginning.

Ruiz explained the series originally started as part of a reaction to a 2005 court case in Pennsylvania, where a federal judge ruled it unconstitutional for a school district to present intelligent design as another possibility to evolution in its high school biology classes. The first series in spring of 2006 focused on the topic of evolution.

“We felt it was important for people to understand that evolution is science,” Ruiz said. “We put together the series expecting 100 people to show up, but 500 people

showed up”.

The lecture series has continued to grow since then, and as of several years ago began offering opportunities for professional growth to educators in the community. A graduate-level class is offered to K-12 educators and focuses on the series and emphasizes applying that material to classrooms.

Dr. John Pollard, an associate professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry, has been in charge of this program for six years.

He explained that the program aims not only to develop content from the lectures into lesson plans, but also to aid in teachers’ “own personal professional development in the sense that it really helps to energize the teachers and get their geek on about science.”

This is also the first year of the QA Science

in this program occurred Monday. Dr. Joellen Russell, an associate professor of geosciences at the UA and an 1885 Society Distinguished Scholar, presented the first lecture of the series titled “Ocean’s Role in Climate: Heat and Carbon Uptake in the Anthropocene.”

The lecture included a discussion on the importance of the Southern Ocean’s role in climate change, advances in collecting that information and Dr. Russell’s plan for how to use that information to reduce carbon emissions.

“Two-thirds of all of the extra anthropogenic human-derived warming is going into the Southern Ocean,” Russell said. Due to the winds and Coriolis effect in that part of the globe, the Southern Ocean is storing this heat. Unfortunately, heat is not all it is storing. Russell said the Southern Ocean is also responsible for taking up about half of all the oceanic uptake of carbon.

The next lecture, “Climate Change and Global Food Security” presented by David Battisti of the University of Washington, will take place Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. in Centennial Hall.

A LOOK at the rearing room which contains plants that have white flies, on which the immature wasps develop, and emergence jars containing adult parasitoid wasps. The number of chromosomes in an individual wasp decide which gender it will develop into as an adult.

Bugs, bacteria and the mighty Zues

BY LENA NASER

The Daily Wildcat

Stories of strange and miraculous births go at least as far back as the ancient Greeks.

According to their myths, Zeus felt threatened by the idea of bearing children that may rival his position of power. When his wife Metis still managed to conceive a child through fate, Zeus decided to swallow his pregnant wife in an attempt to keep her and the child prisoners of his belly. Eventually, Zeus’s forehead split and out sprung his full-bodied, armor-clad daughter, the goddess Athena Parthenos. Since Zeus technically bore his daughter, he was considered the lone parent.

This fantastical story of Zeus and his descendents illustrates the idea of parthenogenesis, or asexual reproduction.

Parthenogenesis is not merely the stuff of myth. No, children bursting from the foreheads of their human fathers won’t be a common occurrence any time soon, but if one looks beyond the gods of myths, one will find that parthenogenesis is actually happening in the world around us.

At the UA, it’s happening everyday in the Hunter Laboratory, headed by Dr. Martha S. Hunter from the department of entomology.

Just as humans carry bacteria in our guts, a species of wasp (Encarsia inaron) carries the Cardinium bacteria that has some powerful gender-changing abilities. Unlike the transmission of bacteria among humans from host to host, called horizontal transmission, these wasps transmit their bacteria vertically, solely from mother to offspring.

In E. inaron wasps, female wasps carry two sets of chromosomes, while male wasps carry only one set of chromosomes. Like humans, female wasps have two identical sets of all of their DNA bundles, called chromosomes, while male wasps only carry one copy of all of their DNA. Normal, uninfected female wasps lay eggs with one set of chromosomes. When male wasps fertilize these eggs, they develop into healthy female offspring with two sets of chromosomes.

When a female wasp carrying the Cardinium bacteria lays an egg with one chromosome, it should become a male, but the bacteria causes the number of chromosomes in the egg to double. Therefore, this new wasp offspring has two chromosomes, and subsequently develops into a female.

So what does this mean in terms of parthenogenesis? Ultimately, the ability for the bacterium in the female to usurp the male reproductive role of doubling the eggs’ chromosomes and creating more female offspring renders the need for male fertilization unnecessary.

“Males for this species are a complete dead end,” Hunter said.

When the entire population is infected with this bacterium, the whole species is then female. Furthermore, Hunter explained that evolutionarily, these male wasps have lost their function due to their lack of reproduction, which causes this species to be endangered and dependent on its bacteria.

Among other things, Hunter and her research team are working to uncover the genetic basis and molecular mechanism through which this parthenogenesis induction operates. While the Cardinium bacteria being studied in Hunter’s lab is lesser known, there is a more commonly known bacterium named Wolbachia, which plays the same type of role—although the two are unrelated.

Studying these two unrelated, yet eerily similar, bacteria in conjunction will help in “understanding a little bit about how evolution has been working in parallel to do these types of things, “ according to Hunter.

Ultimately, while the clear origins of this evolutionary history have yet to be determined—much like the Greek mythology— one thing can be decided: wasps with bacterium in their bellies are much like Zeus, the bringer of parthenogenesis.

Campus guns would destroy peace of mind

BY APOORVA BHASKARA The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona Rep. Sonny Borelli recently moved to pass a bill that would allow people to carry concealed weapons on college campuses in Arizona.

This was left up to the administrations of individual colleges and none of the major Arizona universities allowed guns on their campuses. If this bill, HB 2072, had passed, it would have overruled any campus policies against weapons, making our campuses more dangerous than ever.

Proponents of guns on campuses claim that a “good guy with a gun” can stop a “bad guy with a gun,” but how many times have we heard of that scenario actually happening?

Even in instances where someone with a gun has stopped or hindered a shooter, the one who stopped the shooter was a police officer, former military member, security guard or a person with professional firearms training.

Less than 2 percent of mass shootings have actually been stopped by armed civilians.

Most of the interventions occur after the shooting has happened and people have already died. While it is possible the shooter may have been stopped from killing more people, these situations are seldom and rare.

When the police arrive on scene, they cannot tell who is the actual shooter and who is the armed civilian trying to stop the shooter since they are both holding guns. Sen. Steve Farley, who is opposed to HB 2072, argues that, “[the police] do not want a so-called hero on the scene of the shooting because they don’t know who is the good guy and who is the shooter.”

College campuses are supposed to be places of free speech, where different

opinions are shared and students can express themselves without having to fear for their safety.

Take the UA campus for example.

Students from all different groups gather on the UA Mall, talking about their opinions freely to whoever will listen. This could all change if students are suddenly allowed to carry guns around campus. Others may feel threatened to speak their minds for fear of violent retribution.

What happens when a student with a gun becomes angry at others and decides to take matters into their own hands?

We saw this only a few months ago at Northern Arizona University, when one student was killed and three others were wounded by a student shooter. A fight got out of hand and the shooter grabbed his gun out of his car and shot four students.

What happens when a student has too much to drink and gets into a fight at a crowded party? What happens when someone with a gun assaults an unarmed student walking home from the library at night? What happens when a student fails a class and decides to take out their anger on the professor?

While school shootings have happened even on a weapon-free campus, deliberately allowing firearms on our campuses would open the door to a host of potential problems and accidents. Most people do not buy a gun with the intent to do harm; but with the amount of stress and mental health problems facing college students, the chance that someone will snap is high, and having a gun readily available may seem like a way out of their problems.

Having guns on campus is not going to make us any safer, and will quickly diminish students’ peace of mind.

’m a chronic procrastinator.

Piers Steel of The Psychological Bulletin defines procrastination as “a prevalent and pernicious form of self-regulatory failure that is not entirely understood.”

The perception of procrastination as a “failure” in of itself is pervasive. This is evidenced by the sociallyinduced guilt most people (including myself) feel when we know we’re putting off doing something important.

When you Google “procrastination,” almost every top result is some kind of article touting “X Ways to Beat Procrastination.” I imagine these pieces receive a lot of hits around the new year, when “new year, new me” junkies decide that this will be the year they finally cure their procrastination.

Some of my greatest academic achievements have stemmed from late nights—read: early mornings— marked by haste and anxiety. To the fabled “precrastinator,” these may sound wholly unpleasant; for me, the self-applied minutes-to-the-deadline pressure inspires some of my most imaginative work.

Procrastinators are consistently ranked by employers as more creative than their timemanaging peers. In a study at the University of Wisconsin, assistant professor Jihae Shin put this to the test by asking participants to come up with new business ideas.

One group was asked to brainstorm right away, while members of the second group were given games to delay the process by five minutes.

When independent raters ranked the originality of the outcomes, they rated the procrastinators’ ideas as 28 percent more creative. This is not to suggest that games inspire inventiveness, but rather that people who temporary file away tasks in limbo eventually procure more original ideas.

In the words of Adam Grant, a New York Times op-ed writer, “When you procrastinate, you’re more likely to let your mind wander. That gives you a better chance of stumbling onto the unusual and spotting unexpected patterns.”

Surely famous procrastinators like the Dalai Lama, Frank Lloyd Wright and Leonardo da Vinci—among others—would attest to this. Each man’s work should inspire student procrastinators to recognize what society denies: Their habits aren’t a surefire recipe for failure.

Procrastination, if done right and as a conscious choice, can be a tool for productivity and a breedingground for innovation. If you procrastinate and have found success in doing so, you shouldn’t be made to feel like a failure. Conversely, if you fear the lastminute frenzy, perhaps you should allow yourself just once to indulge in daydreaming and see where procrastination might take you.

There’s no place like home Arizona men’s basketball will go for its 50th straight victory in McKale Center on Thursday night. We look back at some of the top moments of the Wilcdats’ nation-leading win streak

BY JUSTIN SPEARS

Nov. 19, 2014: Hollis-Jefferson dunks all over UC Irvine’s Ndiaye

Nov. 18, 2013: Sean Miller earns 100th victory at Arizona

It may seem out of place for this game to make the cut, but the athletic display Rondae Hollis-Jefferson put up against UC Irvine’s 7-foot-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye was worthy enough of making Sports Center’s Top-10 plays. Early in the second half with Arizona down three points, Hollis-Jefferson drove to the hoop just as Ndiaye stepped into the lane attempting to block the dunk. Hollis-Jefferson, formerly known as the “Shim Reaper,” dunked the ball with emphasis and ignited an Arizona run. The Wildcats would eventually rout the Anteaters and move to 3-0 on the season.

The Daily Wildcat

Early in the 2013-2014 season, Arizona hosted cupcake opponent Fairleigh Dickinson. The game itself wasn’t special—a 100-50 Arizona blowout, but the final score was aligned perfectly for Sean Miller. Why? Because the win gave Miller his 100th win as the head coach for the Wildcats. He became the fifth coach in school history to reach the milestone and did it in only his fifth season.

March 7, 2015: McConnell goes out with Pac-12 title The last home game for Brandon Ashley, Stanley Johnson, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and T.J. McConnell was a special one. With a Pac-12 regular season title on the line, Arizona defeated Stanford 91-69, giving the Wildcats another trophy. This was McConnell’s day, considering he was the lone senior and a major contributor to Arizona. Sean Miller’s floor general left his final mark in Tucson with a double-double 10 points and 11 assists. Just when people thought it couldn’t get any better, McConnell got on his knees to kiss the block “A’” in center court only to receive a standing ovation.

Dec. 6, 2014: Arizona knocks off Gonzaga in top-10 affair Dec. 7, 2013: Wildcats beat Rebels, clinch No. 1 ranking It doesn’t get much better than this battle between the Wildcats and the Runnin’ Rebels.

It wasn’t just the intensity that puts this game on the list, but the circumstances. It was a primetime weekend game, it was a whiteout game and on top of that, the Wildcats were the No. 2 team in the country and a victory would ensure Arizona the No. 1 spot. The Rebels took the Wildcats down to the wire trading baskets, but it was the transfer point guard from Duquesne University, T.J. McConnell, earning his stripes scoring 13 points and six assists to lead Arizona to victory. Two days later, Arizona earned the nation’s top ranking in the AP poll.

The day following the Pac-12 Conference Football Championship when the Wildcats football team was embarrassed by Oregon’s Marcus Mariota, the basketball team would help Arizona fans feel better, when they competed in a battle of top-10 teams in the Old Pueblo with No. 9 Gonzaga. Arizona was tested by Kentucky transfer Kyle Wiltjer who was arguably the most versatile forward the Wildcats saw the entire season outside of Wisconsin. However, Arizona’s defense stepped up, holding the Zags to 16.7 percent from the 3-point range. In overtime, ZonaZoo pitched in. With Arizona up three points and only a few seconds remaining on the clock, Gonzaga’s Byron Wesley went to the charity stripe after being fouled on three. Facing the rabid ZonaZoo crowd, Wesley missed all three attempts, ensuring a 66-63 Arizona win.

HOCKEY UPSET FROM PAGE 23

performance of the season, as he posted a staggering 50 saves on 52 shot attempts, further making a case for himself as the team’s No. 1 goaltender.

For Toppie Hogan, this game was personal for him as it was against former Arizona coach, Sean Hogan, now currently the coach of Ohio.

Toppie Hogan said that Sean Hogan had told him and his brother John that they would not be able to play for him, as he only took a certain caliber of player while he was coaching at Arizona. “[Sean Hogan] knowing that he cut me and I was able to put up three points against him, just individually, that was nice,” Toppie Hogan said. “But it all comes down to the team winning.”

Midland University—a fairly new but respected team in the ACHA—came into the TCC on Friday night to take on the Wildcats.

The Wildcats’ success from the night prior eluded them as they squandered a 2-0 lead eventually falling by a score of 4-2 with lackluster defensive play in front of Wilson.

“We got a little bit complacent when we got that two-goal lead,” UA forward Robbie Wilkinson said. “[Midland] stuck in the game and they took advantage of their chances and came out on top.”

Junior goalie Garrett Patrick was tapped for the third and final game of the weekend Saturday against Midland.

Patrick played superb, as he stopped 28 of 29 shots and led the way for the Wildcats as they coasted to a 5-1 drubbing over Midland with goals coming from Bryan Drazner, Armenti, Toppie Hogan and a pair from Wilkinson.

For Arizona, this was the type of effort the team needed before hitting the road for three weeks to take on top teams in the ACHA, most notably ASU’s Division II team that swept the UA when they last played. “[ASU] came in and embarrassed us in our house and we got to go up there and return the favor,” UA forward John Hogan said. “It’s going to be a hard couple of weeks, but we’re ready for it.”

promising season for the Arizona women’s basketball team has quickly become bleak.

The Wildcats started the season at 104, including a win over the then-ranked California Golden Bears. Since then, however, Arizona has lost five of its last six games, with the only win coming against last-place Colorado.

The Wildcats now sit at 11-9 overall with a 2-5 Pac-12 Conference record, and things are only getting worse.

Junior forward Dejza James, the team’s leading rebounder, has missed the last four games with a foot injury, and isn’t close to returning.

Then redshirt freshman point guard, Taryn Griffey, announced she would be taking an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons.

Griffey, who is one of the highest-ranked recruits the program has brought in since Niya Butts’ arrival in 2008, was third on the team in scoring, averaging nine points per game while also connecting on 43.3 percent of her 3-point attempts.

Not only was Griffey one of the team’s best scorers, but more importantly, she was one of the team’s few ball handlers.

“It certainly affects it,” Butts said about the team’s rotation without Griffey. “That takes a point guard away from us, takes the ability to score [away]. She has a great 3-point shot, so that affects us a little bit with the rotation. We got to get that worked out as a staff, and that means everybody else has to step up.”

Malena Washington, the other primary ball handler on the roster, has stepped up.

Since Griffey’s departure, Washington is averaging 11.7 points and five assists per game.

“At the end of the day, we are responsible for how we play,” Butts said. “It’s my responsibility as a coach to make sure our team is prepared and ready for those type of moments. And I have to go back to the drawing board as well and find out how to get our team better prepared.”

have to be better inside.”

Frankly, the Wildcats have no choice but to be better if they want to avoid their fifth losing season in a row. Three of Arizona’s next four games are against teams in the top half of the Pac-12 standings, including the No. 9 Oregon State Beavers, and the losses will continue to pile up if they don’t improve.

And Butts has to put them in a position to do so.

SWAN

BY ryan kelapire

Both figures are above their season averages.

Of course, Washington has also seen her time on the court increase. She played a career-high 32 minutes in the loss against ASU on Sunday and she was on the court for 30 minutes Friday in another loss to the Sun Devils.

While Butts believes Washington has handled the increased work load admirably, it’s evident that she needs help.

“She played a lot of minutes, and only turned it over three times, the problem was we just didn’t have anyone else step up at point guard,” Butts said after the team’s loss to ASU on Sunday. “She was having to handle the ball an awful lot, so she was getting fatigued because she was having to dribble. The wings weren’t open like we needed them to be.”

As Butts alluded to, Washington is likely playing too many minutes and the team has suffered as a result.

However, that would also imply that there is a better option than a tired player, and so far there hasn’t been. The roster isn’t exactly brimming with viable options, and Butts has turned to sophomore guard Farrin Bell to take over the backup point guard duties.

So far, Bell has struggled. In the three games without Griffey, Bell has played 43 minutes, has yet to score and has turned the ball over nine times while only recording three assists.

The offense is noticeably more stagnant when Bell is running it; but, to be fair, the mid-season role change has put her in a less than ideal spot to succeed.

The hope is that the situation will improve as Bell and Washington get adjusted to their new roles. In the meantime, it’s imperative that the rest of team increases its productivity to make it easier on them.

“Those two young ladies [Washington and Bell] I think can handle the load, but we just have to be better,” Butts said. “We not only have to be better at the point guard spot, we have to be better on the wing, we

‘Cats hockey picks up key victory over No. 7

BY Seth Pines

The Daily Wildcat

The goal for the Arizona hockey team heading into its three-game set last weekend was to enter the national tournament discussion.

The Wildcats did just that, as it upset No. 7 Ohio University on Thursday night and split its weekend series against Midland University, all in the Tucson Convention Center.

For a struggling Wildcats team, an upset over a top-10 team is just what the doctor had ordered.

“It’s a big lift,” Arizona head coach Chad Berman said. “It validates what we’re doing is working.”

Arizona jumped out to an early lead Thursday night, as Anthony Rosetta pinched up into the offensive rush and tapped home a great pass from forward Brian “Toppie” Hogan.

The officials convened to discuss if the goal was to count because Ohio claimed the puck never went into the net, but nonetheless, they concluded it was a good goal.

Ohio would go on to tie the game in the second period, as the Bobcats’ Matthew Rudin tipped home a wrist shot to beat Arizona goaltender Austin Wilson.

Arizona was then given a power-play opportunity late in the second period off an Ohio holding penalty. The Wildcats made it count, when Brian Schehr found Toppie Hogan open in the slot and Hogan fired a wrist-shot that found the back of the net.

Ohio wouldn’t go away easily, as the team capitalized on the power-play drawing the game even heading into the final period.

Hogan, the most consistent goal scorer for the Wildcats this season, contributed one of the most memorable moments of Arizona’s season in the middle of the third period.

As the Wildcats were buzzing with multiple opportunities in the final frame, UA defenseman Matthew Armenti’s wrist shot hit off the side of an Ohio defender.

The puck trickled to Hogan’s stick blade, point blank in front of the net; he shot it, and buried the game-winning goal that guided Arizona to its biggest win of the season and an upset over the No. 7 team in the ACHA. Austin Wilson also delivered his best

Revamped Ducks pose challenge for Wildcats

BY KYLE HANSEN

The Daily Wildcat

No. 18 Arizona men’s basketball will face another Pac12 Conference test at home this weekend as both Oregon and Oregon State visit McKale Center on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.

After splitting the Bay Area series last weekend, Arizona returns home where the Wildcats will look to defend their 49-game winning streak in Tucson. A win against Oregon would thus push the winning streak to 50 games.

“I try not to really think about it,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said Tuesday. “Everybody on our team knows what’s at stake.

We don’t want that streak to create anxiety about what we do.”

For the Wildcats to defend the streak, they’ll need to top a No. 23 Ducks team that has reentered the rankings after posting a dominant conference record through January.

Oregon currently sits atop the Pac-12 with a 5-2 record, 16-4 overall.

Arizona swept the Ducks last

season, beating them three times by an average of 24 points per game.

Oregon ranks fourth in the conference in scoring defense this season, while Arizona is third. The Ducks average about 77 points per game and Arizona averages 82.

The Pac-12 front runners are led by sophomore forward Dillon Brooks, who is averaging 16.2 points per game. Freshman Tyler Dorsey, who de-committed from Arizona in the summer of 2014, is averaging 13.4 points per game for Oregon.

But it’s Chris Boucher, a 6-foot10 forward out of Montreal, who has turned out to be perhaps the Ducks’ best all-around player this season.

The 2014-2015 NJCAA Division I Player of the Year averages 12.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game while leading Oregon in field goal percentage.

He had strong performances in Oregon’s past two wins against UCLA and USC, including an 18 point, 10 rebound, four block performance against the Bruins.

“I think Boucher is the best firstyear player in our conference,”

Miller said. “His shot blocking, his skill level, his rebounding—he’s a really terrific player and a big reason why Oregon is having the season they’re having.”

The Wildcats, meanwhile, boast the best field goal percentage in the conference, as well as the best rebounding margin between them and their opponents.

Defense has been the Wildcats’ biggest question, as they have allowed opponents to shoot 41 percent from the field. The Wildcats have also been forcing fewer turnovers than they give away, with a turnover margin of -0.95.

Arizona and Oregon have faced the same opponents, but with some different outcomes.

Arizona has defeated Boise State twice this season, but the Ducks fell to the Broncos on Dec. 12. In turn, UCLA, USC and California all defeated the Wildcats—all of whom Oregon beat.

Arizona will once again be without freshman guard Allonzo Trier.

Trier, who averages almost 15 points per game, broke his hand against USC. Senior Ryan

Anderson has continued to average a double-double, with almost 15 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Tip will be at 7 p.m., Thursday night and will be broadcasted on ESPN2.
