Grad students call for better pay Graduate students, members of ASUA and others addressed the Arizona Board of Regents on Nov. 20 asking for better working conditions

BY Michelle Jaquette The Daily Wildcat

The Graduate Student Organizing Committee, among other groups, addressed the Arizona Board of Regents in its call to the audience during the Nov. 20 meeting, hoping to improve the wages and benefits of graduate student workers.

The GSOC’s petition, Help Save Higher Education in Arizona, has garnered over 540 signatures online. It calls upon Gov. Doug Ducey, the Arizona Legislature, the board of regents and the UA to reverse the $99 million state budget cuts to education. The petition demands that all university employees be paid a living wage and be provided comprehensive health insurance and asks for the right to unionize.

GSOC speakers at the regents’ meeting highlighted the performance incentives given to the three presidents of Arizona’s state universities after the 2014-2015 state budget cuts, emphasizing the disparity between benefits received by top employees and those received by graduate student teaching assistants.

According to both the GSOC and to UA Provost Andrew Comrie, the average UA graduate student TA makes about $16,000 a year for a half-time position, teaching nine months out of each year.

Graduate teaching assistants also receive full-tuition waivers and compensation for campus student health insurance.

The Provost Office and GSOC differ in their understandings of the amount compensated to graduate student assistants in per-hour estimates. Provost Comrie said that graduate student TAs receive somewhere around $20 an hour, but Kyle Blessinger, a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in higher education and a TA for two courses in the family studies and human development department, said per-hour pay is actually much lower than that.

“I say most of us work about 40 hours a week. My math may have

been a little off, but in a given week, we make the equivalent of $9.71 an hour. We’re only paid for 20 hours a week but many of us work much more than that,” Blessinger said.

A founding member of GSOC and a representative for the Graduate and Professional Student Council, Alexander Karaman, said it was hard to gauge the regents’ response to the petition because the regents are not required to respond during the call to the audience.

But Blessinger, who spoke during the petition, said he did not feel like he was listened to.

“Chairman Heiler was on his phone text messaging most of the time,” Blessinger said.

The lack of response did not surprise Karaman, who was with the GSOC when it presented before the regents last year.

During the GSOC’s address, former Chairman Mark Killian paused the call to the audience and recommended the GSOC instead speak to the student regent.

Karaman said he had several

problems with this suggestion.

“The issues we were bringing, we were bringing as employees— as student instructors of undergraduate students—and for them to [tell us] to speak to an undergraduate student representative rather than saying that we have the right, or that we deserve to be able to speak to the board itself, is insulting,” Karaman said.

The second issue, he said, was that the student regents are more like pawns than representatives.

Each year one of the three state universities nominates potential student regents using a selection committee. Student governments like the Associated Students of the University of Arizona have the job of confirming nominees who are then sent on to be approved by the governor, who ultimately nominates one student to be confirmed by the Arizona Senate.

“Year after year after year the governor ignores those recommendations— [the regents] ignore those

recommendations—and instead put somebody in who’s more or less a child of some friend of theirs,” Karaman said. “So even though tons of people come together and nominate actual strong student leaders from the university, [the governor and the regents] ignore that nomination and pick somebody of their own.”

For these reasons, Karaman said GSOC’s hope does not rest solely with the regents. The committee hopes to gain traction with the UA administration and with individual colleges inside the university.

GSOC has been building its student following. On average, between 60 and 100 students attend GSOC events, Karaman said.

GSOC members plan to continue to take action in the spring semester.

Student assaulted, university implicated

BY Sam Gross

The Daily Wildcat

A lawsuit filed on Nov. 20 by a former UA track and field studentathlete alleged that the UA and its athletics department failed to protect her from 2.5 years of sexual assault and intimidation from UA assistant coach for throwing events Craig Carter.

The lawsuit names six defendants, including the state of Arizona, the Arizona Board of Regents, the UA, director and head coach of track and field Fred Harvey and athletic director Greg Byrne.

The Plaintiff, whose career as a UA student-athlete spanned from the fall 2010 to spring 2015 semesters, said she was repeatedly sexually assaulted

by Carter beginning in spring 2013, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Wildcat.

The document reads that Carter initially assaulted the Plaintiff following the 2013 national championships at the University of Oregon. The Plaintiff went to a house party, became intoxicated and needed a ride back to the team’s hotel—a ride that Carter offered.

Sometime before reaching their destination, Carter stopped the car and sexually assaulted her, according to the documents.

Following the initial assault, court documents said that Carter blackmailed and threatened the Plaintiff, telling her that he would spread word that the assault was her fault and that he would harm her if she told anyone what he had done.

Suggesting that he exercised

Alex Mcintyre/The Daily Wildcat

The sun sets over Roy P. Drachman Stadium on Tuesday, Nov. 24. A former UA track and field athlete alleged in a recently filed lawsuit that the university and its athletics department failed to protect her from sexual assault by former coach Craig Carter.

“tremendous emotional control” as a coach and the “power to make or break [the Plaintiff’s] sought-after career as an athlete,” the documents say that Carter continued to demand sex from the Plaintiff under threats of violence and defamation against the Plaintiff, her family and her friends.

The threats culminated in the spring of 2015.

On April 27, the Plaintiff confronted Carter and demanded that his abuses come to an end. Carter responded by choking her on the couch in his McKale Center office, holding a box cutter to her throat and threatening to kill her if she revealed him, according to the documents.

A police report obtained by The

Daily Wildcat detailed the incident.

“I grabbed her by the neck,” Carter said, as detailed in the report of the April 27 incident. He went on to say that he told the Plaintiff, “I’ll hurt you,” while holding the box cutter to her throat.

Shortly thereafter, on April 29, the court documents said Carter entered the Plaintiff’s class after it ended and attempted to grab her multiple times to pull her out of the room. Witnesses in the room at the time notified the police, who questioned and later arrested Carter.

Carter subsequently admitted to assaulting the Plaintiff and sending threatening messages. He was then jailed for a short period and placed

Arizona Arizona Arizona Arizona

on paid administrative leave. Shortly after, Carter resigned from his position with Arizona Athletics.

The police reports detailed some of the messages Carter sent to the Plaintiff. The messages were seized by police and used as evidence to charge Carter with domestic violence charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, threatening and intimidating with injury and damage to property, stalking with fear of physical injury or death and interference with or disruption of an educational institution.

“I will blow me (sic) fucking head off because you ruined my life more than you already have,” Carter sent to the Plaintiff on April 29, according to

Daily Wildcat Daily Wildcat Daily Wildcat Daily Wildcat

Arizona Arizona Arizona Arizona

the police report.

He continued to send messages that day stating, “If I didn’t fear for my job I would fucking blow you (sic) head off” and “See you in hell bitch …

I hope you fucking die … .”

The police report further detailed antagonizing messages sent by Carter.

“If I break in to your house to see you then I will have to kill both of us because after breaking in I would go to jail and lose my job and so I may as well be dead,” Carter also sent to the Plaintiff on April 28, according to the police report.

Carter was presented with the messages that he sent to the Plaintiff after they were attained by police. He admitted to sending them, according to the police report.

“She makes me do things that I would never do,” said Carter during the police interview in reference to the incident with the box cutter in his office, according to the police report.

“She changes me … I did way wrong, I did way wrong.”

The Plaintiff has since graduated from the UA, no longer resides in the state and told the Arizona Daily Star that she will never compete in track and field again.

“The day I drove away from Tucson was such a relief,” she said in an Arizona Daily Star article. “I was driving away, and I wasn’t dead.”

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

The USS Arizona, sunk in the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, has one of its bells salvaged and placed in the tower of the Student Union Memorial Center. The bell arrived at UA in July 1946, and was first rung on Nov. 17, 1951.

Thanks to a group of Tucson residents, students passing by the UA Mall next fall will be walking down a memorial to the USS Arizona.

The Mall—from the east-facing side of Old Main to just before the desert garden—differs by only a matter of feet in length from the 608-foot-long expanse of the battleship and will soon be home to an outline of the ship.

Project designer David Carter said that the group of residents has designed bronze medallions that will be embedded in the Mall outlining the shape of the Arizona, with each medallion including the name, rank, home state, birth year and death year for one of the sailors or Marines who died onboard the Arizona during the Dec. 7, 1941 attacks on Pearl Harbor.

“When we started working on this project we realized and discovered if we take the footprint of the ship itself and superimpose it over the Mall, the ship would literally just fit into that beautiful area of grass,” said Charles Albanese, dean emeritus of the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture.

Albanese said the UA is in full support of the memorial, but cannot offer any funding to help with its $100,000 projected cost. According to Carter, the cost could be closer to $150,000.

The UA has, however, given its permission for the group to proceed with fundraising.

One of the few ships deemed too damaged to be raised, salvaged and reinstated to service, the wreck of the Arizona is now a memorial dedicated to the 1,177 sailors who died on the ship—1,102 of whom are still entombed inside its hull.

The UA is already home to a number of artifacts salvaged from the wreck. In particular, one of the ship’s two bells sits in the clock tower of the Student Union Memorial Center and

the student union itself is designed to reflect certain aspects of the battleship. The curvature of the canyon represents the silhouette of the ship’s hull and the main cylinder-shaped structure is designed to represent the Arizona’s superstructure and main gun turret.

Carter said it is important not just for students, but for all of us to remember our history and understand the significance of those who came before us. Carter went on to say that when looking at the medallions, it will not take long for students to realize that those who died on board the Arizona were very young—about the age of most college students.

Albanese added that it is even more significant to put it in a place where everyone who calls the UA home can see the sacrifices that were made for them.

Cpl. Jared Suydam, a political science and global studies senior, said he has been to the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor and thought it was incredible. Suydam hopes the USS Arizona project can be accomplished.

“We have to honor their sacrifice with every opportunity possible, and what better place than the largest communal area on campus?”

Suydam said. “It’s important to remember that not everyone gets to come home afterwards and enjoy the liberties we have.”

Suydam served in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years and said he thinks it is reasonable for everyone to pitch in to make this project happen.

“I think it’s fair to say that every student veteran at [the] UA is pursuing their education for those who were unable to come home, and that, in some way their sacrifice and legacy is what drives us,” he said.

Sorry, wrong bed March 7, 2012 A resident assistant from the ManzanitaMohave Residence Hall reported that a naked man walked into a resident’s dorm room around 2:33 a.m. on [March 5].

When University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived, they spoke with the resident, who said she was sleeping when a naked man suddenly entered her room and tried to climb into bed with her.

The student said she screamed when she noticed him and told him he had probably walked into the wrong room. He asked her, “Are you sure this is the wrong room?” She replied, “Yes!” He turned around and began walking out of the room. Another female student then walked in, grabbed the man and brought him into another room.

The woman told officers that she saw “his buttocks and flaccid penis with lots of pubic hair,” and that she wanted to press criminal charges.

The officers spoke with the naked man, who told them, “I was very intoxicated, and I was spending the night with another girl. I woke up to go to the restroom and when I was done, I accidentally walked into the room. It was an honest mistake.”

Officers told the man to get completely dressed and step outside so he could be arrested.

He was cited for indecent exposure and taken to Pima County Jail.

Fire extinguisher prank gets out of hand Nov. 15, 2012 Two male UA students sprayed a fire extinguisher in an Alpha Phi sorority house bathroom before fleeing the scene at 2:50 a.m. on Nov. 11. UAPD officers responded to a fire alarm, which the sorority’s housemother said was set off by a fire extinguisher.

A check of the house revealed no fire, but when the officers entered the bathroom, they saw that the extinguisher’s powdery contents covered the entire room.

Because of the fire alarm, house members gathered outside. The officers had them come back inside and asked them to meet in a common room for questioning.

One member, who was noticeably distressed and crying, approached the housemother to speak with her. The woman seemed to know about the incident and said that two men had entered the bathroom, held the door shut, used the fire extinguisher against house members’ requests and then left on foot.

Officers then asked house members in the common room if anyone could tell them more about the men, and learned that the students were two UA men’s swimming team athletes.

The officers and referred the two students to the Dean of Student’s Office. They also confirmed that the students were athletes.

Have a great time ‘W/ Bob and David’

HBO

Bob Odenkirk and David Cross are the comedic duo of “W/ Bob and David.” Though they’ve become popular on shows like “Arrested Development” and “Breaking Bad,” the two got their start on the 1990s HBO show “Mr. Show with Bob and David.”

Bob Odenkirk and David Cross helm the spiritual successor to HBO’s “Mr. Show with Bob and David” on Netflix with their successfully funny sketch comedy show by alex furrier

The Daily Wildcat

It’s never too late to make a comeback. The rise of the Internet enables the possibility of a Frankenstein-esque resurrection for anything and everything.

Netflix brought back “Arrested Development” in 2013, seven years post-cancellation, and this summer rebooted the 2001 cult hit film “Wet Hot American Summer” into a TV series.

“W/ Bob and David” marks the spiritual resurrection of the sketch show “Mr. Show with Bob and David,” which first aired 20 years ago.

“Mr. Show with Bob and David” is a cult classic sketch comedy show from actor/comedian duo Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. Although the two are best known for their portrayal of iconic TV characters—Odenkirk

as Saul Goodman of “Breaking Bad” and Cross as the endearingly inept Tobias Fünke in “Arrested Development”—they cut their teeth as cult heroes of the alternative comedy scene with “Mr. Show.”

“W/ Bob and David” successfully adapts the spirit of “Mr. Show” to 2015.

Sketch comedy leaves little room for error. This specific type of comedy requires hilarious antics that must be set up, performed and then shut down in five minutes or less. A tall order indeed, but one with which Odenkirk and Cross are familiar. At this point the duo have an unofficial Ph.D. in sketch comedy, and “W/ Bob and David” is proof. Each episode gains steam as it goes on. The initial gag, involving a time machine and poking fun at the return of the show, sets the bar low enough that every passing sketch ups the ante.

The improving quality comes largely as a result of the interconnected nature of each episode. “W/ Bob and David” is an eco-friendly show in that each premise or joke is reused once, twice or even three times. Callbacks to jokes occurring earlier in episodes are commonplace and speak to the writing prowess behind “W/ Bob and David.”

The first episode begins with a sketch of a man unable to give up red meat even in the face of potential death and the episode concludes with a return to the character dying as he eats a ham. Without context the sketch sounds rather stupid, but “W/ Bob and David” manages to find the comedy in it.

Despite not airing for nearly 20 years, the show has not lost its edge.

As is often the case with comedy, nothing is held sacred, doubly so

with “W/ Bob and David.”

The show adds a subversive spin to a number of current news topics, including police brutality and Islamic extremists.

Odenkirk and Cross poke fun at finding “the line.” They argue over how close they can come to depicting the Prophet Muhammad without receiving death threats from extremists and settle on the nonsensical “a prophure of the picmed of Mohaphet,” and even this gibberish blurb will bring death if the phrase is uttered three times.

This fearlessness, combined with a seek-and-destroy attitude of subversiveness, is what sets “W/ Bob and David” apart.

My favorite sketch of the first season finds a little boy on a morning talk show recounting his experience of briefly dying and going to heaven.

We’ve all seen this before in real

life—the sappy stories that appeal to the lowest common denominator.

However, “W/ Bob and David” subverts this when the little boy lists off the people he met in heaven, including his grandpa, Babe Ruth and Hitler. It turns out everyone goes to heaven and in response the audience hurls objects at little Cory while telling him he went to hell.

“W/ Bob and David” may not be a show for everyone’s tastes, but Odenkirk and Cross likely don’t give a damn one way or the other. It’s such an attitude that powers “W/ Bob and David,” and proves that even after all these years, the spirit of “Mr. Show” lives on.

College conservatives getting a bad rep BY scott baca

The Daily Wildcat

I

have something to admit.

It’s something I’ve been holding on to for a long time and it’s a little shameful to say out loud.

I’m not sure how people will react.

Will I still be accepted? Will I be ostracized by my fellow students? I’m not sure, but here it goes.

I am a political conservative.

Gasp.

Admittedly, sometimes that actual thought process runs through my head. It seems like the environment in Tucson, specifically on this college campus, is one where having a lot of conservative views makes you a dumb redneck with no concern for others.

For all those who like to criticize

the political right, I have to concede that, lately, y’all have been justified in doing so.

The GOP has made a laughingstock of itself in recent months. The Republican primary debates have been turned into memes. Though some candidates make good points from time to time, the whole thing is always overshadowed by the spray-tanned cartoon character known as Donald Trump—who, by the way, has made watching political television fun in a sort of reality TV show way.

As casual observers, your belief that the GOP is a party full of clowns with bad ideas is understandable.

Trump’s early poll numbers were surprising; he was the lead GOP candidate, with 24 percent support among conservatives after the second debate, according to a CNN/ORC poll. Yet they still seemed to draw the rest of the candidates offside, as they tried to attract any attention away

from him.

Sometimes, maybe even unfairly, the Trump charade cast a shadow over the whole party that made it easy to generalize and de-legitimize.

So during the debates, maybe even subconsciously, my inner conservative laid low during social interactions. No need to get laughed at.

Even more recently, whether to accept Syrian refugees has been a controversial topic.

Notable conservatives Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz, along with highprofile Facebook users, have opposed allowing refugees into America, with Trump and Cruz both viewing the issue as an international problem and not a domestic one.

I’m guessing their thought process is that regardless of the needs of other people and our nice sounding “give me your tired, your poor” thing, we shouldn’t accept anyone from that crazy Middle East.

Letter to the editor Dear Editor: This is not a letter to the people who have refused to share their country with Syrian and Iraqi refugees.

This is not a letter to the Donald Trumps of the world who would track Muslims through databases and ID cards—a fresh take on Adolf Hitler’s yellow star concept.

This is not a letter to the Jeb Bushes of the world who would only accept Christian refugees, in a move so oblivious to the core concepts of both Christianity and America that it wouldn’t be believable if a comic book villain suggested it.

This is not a letter to the self-aggrandizing “armed protesters” in Irving, Texas, terrorizing Muslims at the Islamic Center of Irving in an act of collective punishment.

No, this is a letter to everyone else, everyone who knows better and who has a responsibility to negate the overwhelming fear and ignorance that are saturating our media and government.

H.R. 4038, deceptively named the American Security Against Foreign Enemies or “SAFE” Act of 2015, passed overwhelmingly in the House on Nov. 19 with a vote of 289 to 137. This in spite of the proliferation of holes poked in the logic of the legislation.

These have been explored in depth in dozens

of thoughtful articles and interviews I suggest seeking out, but in quick review: The refugee vetting process is already incredibly lengthy and thorough; only two percent of refugees are men of fighting age; none of the 700,000 refugees admitted since 9/11 have been convicted of domestic terrorism; refugees are less likely than the general American population to commit violent crime; we are turning our back on translators and advisers who risk their lives aiding the U.S. military; the refugee program is already a more difficult avenue to America for terrorists than our visa program is; Western intolerance for Muslims aids the Islamic State’s mission; and it is morally the wrong thing to do.

Still, that our representatives ignored this logic should not be a surprise.

Xenophobia is status quo in our nation. Ask Chinese, Japanese, Irish, Jewish, Catholic and Mexican immigrants—we’re not as welcoming of a melting pot as we like to imagine. You may have seen articles recalling America turning away Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust in the 1940s. Well, an object in motion stays in motion.

Treating refugees as if they were venomous snakes is practically an American tradition by now. If we are to reject that history and create a more compassionate America, each one of us

This one really made me ashamed of the Republican Party. Thousands of people are dying and need a place to live and these conservatives are going to just say, “Nope, better not risk it.”

I mean, yeah, refugees relocating to countries surrounding their homelands, rather than to the U.S., makes more sense but at least say you would welcome refugees, you know?

So I get it. Us conservatives have made ourselves look bad lately and with the help of left-leaning news programs and late-night shows, most college students think we are a joke.

In fact, in a 2014 study by the University of California, Los Angeles, it was found that the overwhelming majority of incoming college freshmen at 227 four-year U.S. institutions leaned left on most politico-social issues, including the government’s legalization of marriage equality and the preferential prioritization of climate change.

This isn’t a shock by any means.

I think most of my friends are in the same boat.

So, it’s a tough time to be a college conservative. We are the political minority for sure and the state of the Republican Party is nothing to get excited about.

But I’d just like to remind everyone that the foundations of conservative ideas aren’t oppressing the poor and promoting religious intolerance.

The basis is a belief in personal responsibility and in a government that provides people the freedom to reach their goals—the power of the individual.

So while Donald Trump is an embarrassing poster child for a party that has fallen on some tough times, the main goals of Republicans are still something to be proud of.

Sympathetic Facebook posts about the refugee crisis are not enough. We must call our Arizona senators and urge them to reject the American Security Against Foreign Enemies Act has a responsibility to act.

These battered Syrian and Iraqi families deserve a home to rest their heads, safe from the fear of imminent bombing and assault. I’ve seen dozens of compassionate posts welcoming refugees and denouncing the actions of the House. It’s great that Aunt Carol knows how you feel, but Aunt Carol doesn’t hold the keys to the door.

Right now, the Senate does.

Many Americans, particularly students, don’t understand how much weight their voices carry. The number of call-ins to congressional offices on each side of an issue is always tallied by staffers, and they don’t tally that just for fun.

Rep. Steve Russell of Oklahoma voted in favor of H.R. 4038, after having denounced it on the House floor, because he was pressured by his peers to vote in favor.

Do you think he would have surrendered his position if he had hundreds of passionate students standing behind him, holding his political future in their hands? It seems unlikely.

The Senate is on recess right now, and as they give thanks this week, your Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake are surely considering the implications of the upcoming vote. When they get back to the office, I guarantee they won’t pull up your Facebook.

What they will do is ask their staffer for a tally of how many people called to demand they reject H.R. 4038.

289 representatives will be getting coal on Christmas. Save your senators from the same fate.

You can find Sen. McCain and Sen. Flake’s phone numbers with a cursory Google search.

You can tell the staffer who answers your call that H.R. 4038 is an unpatriotic and morally bankrupt bill that must be voted into oblivion.

The staffer will ask you for your name and hometown and thank you for your call. You can be back to whatever you were doing in two minutes.

This isn’t a letter to the fearful, the hate-filled or the selfish. This isn’t a letter to Ben Carson or anyone else who refers to other human beings as a pack of “rabid dogs.”

This is a letter to you, whose heart is in the right place. You, who hold the power to change the fate of the refugees of Syria and Iraq.

Fight the status quo, call your senator and, for lack of a better phrase, make America great again.

Facebook prompted global focus on Paris by graham palace The Daily Wildcat

I

n the wake of the attacks in Paris, Facebook implemented a temporary French flag filter that could be used to overlay profile pictures. Suddenly, the site was flooded with blue, white and red images.

The filter, as a symbol of solidarity with Parisians, is effective. As our News Feeds were painted with the French flag, it was clear that the world was coming together in support of the grieving nation.

And yet, I think Facebook made a mistake by asking users if they wanted to change their profile pictures.

Let me be clear: This is not intended to be a criticism of anyone who chose to change their profile picture. After a tragedy like the attacks in Paris, each of us copes with the news in our own way.

As the number of French flags in our News Feeds grew exponentially, so too did the number of comments from people who criticized individual users’ new photos. Even though I agree that Facebook’s decision may have been a mistake, shaming someone else for their response to a tragedy is deplorable.

When I logged on to Facebook the weekend after the attacks, I was presented with the option to jump on board and update my profile picture. My first instinct was to click yes.

When presented with the option to show support with minimal effort, why not choose to do so? And yet, I hesitated.

Why? It wasn’t because I’m heartless and lacked an emotional response to the events. Quite the opposite, in fact.

When I first heard about what was going on in Paris, I pulled out my laptop and, in stunned silence, scrolled through photos of the aftermath of the attacks.

The pictures of bodies in the streets, of the injured being rushed to hospitals and of heartbroken Parisians brought back memories of watching the news coverage of the 9/11 attacks.

I felt the same sadness and the same confusion, how could anyone do

“

something like this?

If I felt such an emotional response, why not show my emotion and support by changing my profile picture?

Something just didn’t feel right about clicking yes that morning.

Facebook is a tool that allows us to connect with friends and family across the world. It is a tool that allows us to keep up-to-date with current events and the current state of the world. But it is only that—a tool.

Facebook allows me to share my opinion with my online friends. It is the means to an end. While Facebook gives me the ability to share my thoughts, it shouldn’t guide the thoughts that I share.

A hammer doesn’t suggest that you build a bookshelf; neither should Facebook suggest what my response to the tragedy in Paris should be.

Profile pictures are trivial. But Facebook officials’ decision to step in and be a part of the world’s response to the attacks in Paris is non-trivial.

With the level of dependency we have on social media for information, Facebook’s team has a responsibility, like any good news source, to be unbiased in its presentation of that information.

When Mark Zuckerberg and his team decided to roll out the temporary profile picture for France, and only for France, they contributed to the world’s focus on the attacks in France.

The morning before the horrific events unfolded in Paris, suicide bombings in Beirut killed 45 and wounded over 200 others.

And yet, no one seemed to talk about the attacks in Beirut. Facebook big-wigs didn’t unveil a temporary Lebanese flag filter.

No, they chose Paris, and in doing so they gave the world tunnel vision, steering discussion away from Lebanon and toward France.

My hope is that Facebook officials will not use this feature in the wake of another tragedy.

Even though the filter helped people cope with the shock of watching the events in Paris unfold, it also blinded us from the reality of the crises happening globally, not just in France.

When Mark Zuckerberg and his team decided to roll out the temporary profile picture for France, and only for France, they contributed to the world’s focus on the attacks in Paris.”

Wildcats’ loss a blessing in disguise

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

S

ean Miller and the Arizona men’s basketball team dropped an early season game against Providence on Friday night. A loss this early has been unheard of for a coach who has not lost a game in November since a defeat at the hands of Mississippi State in 2011.

With this early season loss, it is easy for fans to get worked up and worried about this year’s No. 11 ranked Arizona team.

After watching the Wildcats almost lose to a winless Santa Clara and falling to the Friars the next night, it is obvious that Miller and company have some work to do.

The idea of pressing the panic button this early in the season, however, should not be considered. In fact, this loss may be good for the Wildcats in the long run.

The early season story with this team was the amount of new faces—eight in total including walk-on Paulo Cruz—that have been taking the court each night for Miller.

In his first season with Arizona, Ryan Anderson has been the best player on the court each night. Freshman Allonzo Trier has displayed a strong ability to get to the rim and score while guard Kadeem Allen has been one of the better defenders on the team. Mark Tollefsen has shown some solid play, but also struggled during the DirecTV Wooden Legacy.

This early loss gives the Wildcats a chance to go back to the drawing board.

College basketball, like the NBA, is a marathon. One loss doesn’t doom a team like it does in college football. There is time.

Providence will be ranked after this weekend. In fact, they should have been ranked heading in. They boast one of the best players in the country in Kris Dunn, who went 7-for-9 with 19 points and eight assists against the Wildcats.

Losing to Providence is not a bad loss by any means, especially when you consider

the Wildcats were without center Kaleb Tarczewski. They battled against the Friars much better than they did in the performance against Santa Clara and had the look of a team that was sharp, but just came up short.

“I leave this game feeling very, very good about our team’s effort and where we can grow and become,” Miller said.

Arizona is also not the only ranked team with an early loss. Northern Iowa upset former No. 1 North Carolina. Duke, Kansas and Virginia have all suffered early season losses as well.

Ask yourself: What would you rather have? An early regular season loss or an early loss in March? This loss should remind the Wildcats of the work that must be done if they want to make another deep tournament run.

Arizona has definitely showcased that it has a talented roster, but it is easy to see that there is a lot of work left. Arizona was challenged both times it played Boise State, and Miller himself acknowledged that this team has a lot of room to improve on defense.

The Wildcats did just that Sunday in a 6859 win over Boise State, where Arizona held the Broncos to under 40 percent shooting while forcing 15 turnovers.

“This was our best defensive performance of the year,” Miller said after the third place finish. “I think any time you can hold [opponents] to under 60 points, … it says a lot about the commitment to that side of the ball.”

This team of Wildcats has a very small sample size of games they have played together. It has a lot of growing to do as the Wildcats head into conference play in early January. An early loss serves as a reminder that the team has a lot of improvements to make.

In the long run, it will serve as a positive wake-up call for the team as it prepares for a tough Pac-12 Conference schedule and, eventually, the NCAA Tournament.

Wildcats third in Wooden Legacy

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

ANAHEIM, California—Arizona men’s basketball survived a late push from Boise State on Sunday afternoon to defeat the Broncos 68-59 in the DirecTV Wooden Legacy third place game.

Allonzo Trier and Kadeem Allen led the Wildcats with 13 points each as Arizona allowed a comfortable double-digit lead to shrink to a few possessions in the final minutes, only to put Boise State away at the end.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller said the Wildcats played their best defensive performance of the year, as they held the Broncos to just 40 percent from the field. Boise State’s Nick Duncan, who went off for 21 points in McKale Center last week, was held to 10 points Sunday.

“I think it says a lot to the commitment to that side of the ball,” Miller said. “On a night when you’re not perfect on offense, we had some guys really step up.”

It looked as if Arizona’s steady defensive effort would lead to an easy victory against the Broncos.

Arizona held a 15-point advantage with five minutes remaining.

A double foul on Ryan Anderson, however, gave the senior five fouls, sending him to the bench. The forward received a technical after arguing with officials on a push-off call. Anderson joined Mark Tollefsen, who had fouled out moments before.

Already without Kaleb Tarczewski, who sat out Friday and Sunday’s games with a left ankle injury, the Wildcats were forced to play the game’s final minutes with only Dusan Ristic available down low.

Miller instead chose to deploy a five-guard lineup down the stretch with Trier, Allen, Gabe York, Elliott Pitts and Parker Jackson-Cartwright on the floor.

Boise State cut the lead to six points with 1:23 to go, but a Trier dunk and an Allen 3-pointer put Arizona back up by nine with 49 seconds left. The Broncos turned the ball over on the next possession, stealing the Wildcats’ victory.

“I give our team a lot of credit today,” Miller said. “Any time you’re in this type of tournament and you lose a hard-fought game like we did to Providence, a lot of times the next game you’re still dealing with the effects of the loss. Our guys did a great job putting that game behind us.”

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA GUARD Kadeem Allen (5) plants his feet to defend against Northwestern State in McKale Center on Sunday, Nov. 22. Allen led Arizona’s offensive attack with 13 points on Sunday, Nov. 29 against Boise State.

James Webb III led Boise State with 17 points and 10 rebounds to post a double-double.

Arizona shot 49 percent from the field collectively, including 2-for-8 from outside. The Wildcats out-rebounded Boise State 34-28.

Five Wildcats scored in double digits Sunday, providing a needed balanced scoring attack with Tarczewski out.

“We’re used to having [Tarczewski] around,” Miller said. “To not have him in there, it’s just different. His size alone just dictates a lot of positive things for our team.”

Miller added that Tarczewski will receive an MRI when the team gets back to Tucson. As for a timetable on the center’s return, Miller said he expects Tarczewski to be back within the next week or two.

The Wildcats now have a few days off before they travel to Spokane, Washington, on Saturday to face Gonzaga in what should be a top 25 matchup.

Stout defense ready for upcoming games

BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

Catch our shuttle for a tour today at 6th St. Garage

The Arizona women’s basketball team has only played five games, but the Wildcats have already matched their road win total from last season.

The Wildcats (4-1) rallied late to defeat North Texas 51-44 in Denton, Texas, on Friday for their second road win of the season.

The Mean Green started the game on a 15-5 run, but the Wildcats cut the deficit to just four at halftime thanks to three first-half 3-pointers by JaLea Bennett.

Bennett, who grew up near UNT, went 6-for-9 from the field and led the team with 17 points.

“She stepped up big time,” said Arizona head coach Niya Butts. “She really made some tough baskets today. She finished from the 3-point line and she showed up when some of our other scorers didn’t do much.”

Taryn Griffey tied the game at 28 in the start of the third quarter, but Mean Green took a 32-28 lead with just under five minutes left in the quarter.

Arizona’s defense took over from then on, however. North Texas did not score another point in the quarter and Wildcats tied things up heading into the fourth quarter thanks to a jumper from Malena Washington and two free throws from Bennett.

The Wildcats held North Texas to just four third-quarter points, as the Mean Green shot just 25 percent from the field in the second half.

“We made some adjustments on their ball screens where they were attacking us a lot in the first half and we were helping too much,” Butts said. “And we just locked in from there.

We got aggressive on the offensive end and just started to make some plays.”

The fourth quarter was much of the same.

Arizona’s defense locked in.

Breanna Workman started the quarter with a layup to give the Wildcats their first lead of the game and Arizona found itself up 38-32 two buckets later.

Two free throws by Workman would put the Wildcats up by eight—their largest lead of the game—with just over three minutes left, as Arizona held on for its fourth win of the year.

It wasn’t a sharp game for either side, as the teams combined for 50 turnovers.

“It was ugly; there’s no other way to say it. It was an ugly win,” Butts said. “But we’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.

We’re going to take this one and get out of here.”

The Wildcats will begin a three-game home stand Wednesday against New Mexico State at 7 p.m. Pacific and Louisiana Tech will then travel to Tucson on Saturday and Dec. 10, respectively.

New Mexico State comes to McKale

Jesus Barrera/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona guard Taryn Griffey (3) runs after Eastern New Mexico in McKale Center on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Griffey and the Wildcats’ defense has held opponents to 33 percent shooting on the season.

Center sporting a perfect 6-0 record.

Arizona’s defense has held its opponents to a 33.3 percent field goal percentage this season, but the Aggies will be one of the better offensive teams the Wildcats have faced. New Mexico State has made 43 percent of its shots this season and has four players that average over 10 points per game.

The Aggies’ balanced and potent offense could present a challenge for Arizona’s stout defense.

Pacific (4-2) does not boast the type of offense the Aggies do, as the Tigers have shot just 33 percent this season. They do have two 3-point marksmen in Hailie Eackles and Erin Butler, though.

Eackles is averaging 16.2 points per game this season and has made 18 of her 46 3-point attempts (39.1 percent), while Butler has connected on 17 of her 46 3-point attempts (37 percent).

Opponents are shooting just 24.3 percent from behind the arc against Arizona, however, so the Wildcats may be able to stifle their perimeter games.

Tip off against Pacific is set for 1 p.m.

Saturday in McKale Center. Both games will be streamed on Arizona Athletics.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships According to one survey, 42% of Tinder users are currently in a relationship.

Any tips when using Tinder or other dating apps?

When it comes to online dating, everyone seems to have an opinion.

But whether you think swiping right is the ultimate way to meet a bae, or the end of dating as we know it – the reality is that it’s here to stay.

The following tips can help keep you safe and may even increase your odds of finding love in the time of Tinder: 1. Do your homework – Remember how you had to cite multiple sources in that last paper you wrote? Take the same approach with your potential dates by cross-referencing them on social media to avoid reeling in “catfish.” Check out their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram profiles to see if things check out, and pay attention to their posts.

2. Take your time – A lot can come to light in the period between when you “meet” someone online and before the big offline reveal.

Chat with them until you feel comfortable sharing your number, but not before. As the Tinder website states, “We don't conduct criminal background checks on our users, so it’s up

to you to do your own research and remain cautious.”

3. Meet in public – Ready to see if the real thing matches that perfect profile pic? Meet up in the daytime, in a public place – local coffee shops are usually a good bet.

Consider bringing a friend along or at least choose a place where you know a friend is not far away.

4. Bring yourself – Be in control of your own transportation to the meet up spot, whether it’s driving, taking a cab, walking, etc. Don’t accept any offers to get picked up at home.

5. Tell a friend – If you are heading out alone, be sure to tell a friend who you are meeting and where you are going. Charge your phone beforehand out so you can stay connected.

6. Avoid booze – To keep your judgement clear for those first initial encounters.

7. Use your head – ...and trust your gut. They are still your best defense against sketchy people and scenarios in the brave new world of mobile dating.
