A UA associate professor in chemistry and biochemistry filed a federal classaction lawsuit against the University of Arizona, which claims that the department discriminates against female employees when it comes to pay and promotions on Thursday, Nov. 29.

According to the lawsuit, Katrina Miranda, a tenured associate professor in chemistry and biochemistry, is suing the Arizona Board of Regents to “redress systematic gender discrimination in employment,” the suit said.

The suit seeks up to $20 million in damages, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

The lawsuit is based off of alleged violation of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Andrew Melzer, the New York attorney of the plaintiff’s law firm, said, “the case is about a pattern of discrimination, essentially in pay and promotion for female professors in the college of science.”

“I think there is some kind of pattern at the university level knowing about these complaints, receiving these complaints, and not really taking adequate action to address it, so that is a common thread in our opinion,” Melzer said.

The UA declined to comment on the lawsuit.

The cases used the salary database as well as the observations and experiences of Miranda and others to see if there is a pattern of pay inequities and holding women back within the College of Science.

Based on publicly available salary information, “Miranda learned that she has been underpaid by $9,000 to $36,000 every year compared to her male colleagues who have worked for similar lengths of time at the University and received tenure around the same time as she did,” according to the lawsuit.

Additionally, Miranda was denied a promotion from associate professor to

full professor in 2016 after working at the UA since 2002. The suit claims that this was based off of her gender and not her qualifications.

“We think she was qualified, that she had the credentials and experience needed to obtain elevation to full professor and was denied for what we are alleging are discriminatory reasons,” Melzer said.

Miranda’s suit also alleges that the university retaliated against her for complaints about the pay disparity. They allegedly reduced her laboratory space, required her to waive a prerequisite to a course and removed her from instructing a course she created.

The lawsuit is a class-action lawsuit, which means that she is suing on behalf of other female professors. If it is approved as a class-action lawsuit, the law firm will ask the court to send out a notice to other women in the same position, informing them of the lawsuit and their right to participate.

The suit also claimed, “upon information and belief, other female professors in the College have been similarly denied promotions based on their gender.”

Other women would be able to sue for the broader claims under Title VII, and vote that gender pay and promotion discrimination are present. “If successful to approve class action, people will be part of it unless they choose not to be,” Melzer said.

As the case progresses, they will obtain information from the other side, speak to more women who are affected, be able to analyze data from prior years and obtain information and evidence needed to draw proper comparisons.

The suit was filed by the same law firm, Sanford Heisler Sharp, that filed a similar suit in January, Former UA Honors College Dean Patricia MacCorquodale against ABOR. MacCorquodale sued the university for $2 million, claiming gender discrimination and pay inequity.

“Everyone is entitled to fair pay, an even playing-field, and fair treatment no matter what field you’re in,” Melzer said.

NEWS | STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

UA student pursues her dreams as a Rhodes Scholar Leah Crowder, an University of Arizona graduate with a degree in Middle Eastern & North African studies, was one of 32 students selected to be a Rhodes Scholar. Rhodes Scholars are chosen not only for their scholarly achievements, but also for their character, potential for leadership and commitment to both others and to the common good

BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves

Crowder is the only student in Arizona to get selected for the honor. The Daily Wildcat talked to Crowder and asked her about her achievement and what that meant for her as a person and as a student.

Daily Wildcat: Who inspired you to apply for such a prestigious honor?

Leah Crowder: I have some incredible mentors at UA, most notably Maggy Zanger and Laura Provencher.

They encourage me to take on challenges and address the world’s most pressing issues.

COURTESY LEAH CROWDER

LEAH CROWDER IS AN University of Arizona graduate who was one of 32 students to be chosen to be a Rhodes Scholar. The scholarship pays for her to complete her PhD at the University of Oxford.

DW: What was the application process?

LC: I reached out to the Honors College while working at a circus camp in Turkey. The campus deadline was several months before the national deadline, so I had to write my essays on my phone. I recommend starting long before August.

DW: What does the Rhodes Scholarship mean for you?

LC: I will complete my PhD in International Relations at the University of Oxford. I plan to study grassroots peacebuilding efforts in conflict-affected areas of the Middle East.

DW: How did your family and friends react after you were chosen?

LC: They immediately started looking for flights to London to visit me. I haven’t even gotten into Oxford yet.

DW: Why did you get a degree in Middle Eastern & North African studies?

LC: I’ve been interested in the Middle East since I moved to Turkey as a high school exchange student.

Living in Tucson piqued my interest in the study of borderlands, so I booked a flight to the Turkey-Syria border. Totally normal.

DW: How did getting this achievement feel for you?

LC: It’s an incredible honor. I was shocked when they announced my name, but reality is finally starting to set in.

COURTESY LEAH CROWDER

LEAH CROWDER HAS WORKED with UA Global and other organizations while at the UA. She has a degree in Middle Eastern & North African studies.

DW:What achievements and activities have you been a part of at the UA? LC: During college, I worked with DocVisions, an outreach program for immigrant youth in Tucson

that teaches film production skills. Before working as a resident assistant, I was active in the Residence Halls Association and Advocates Coming Together.

Participating in each of these activities allowed me to contribute to my communities in different ways.

Residence Life, in particular, helped me adjust to campus as an out-of-state student. I have also worked as a student assistant at UA Global throughout my time here and conducted independent research with faculty. Working at UA Global helped me develop important professional skills. Conducting independent research as an undergraduate gave me the confidence to apply for prestigious PhD programs, like Oxford DPhil in International Relations.

DW: What challenges have you faced in your college career and how did you overcome them?

LC: When I moved to Arizona from Virginia, I didn’t know anybody. The School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies has been my home for the past four years. I don’t think I would be here without such a close, supportive department behind me.

DW: What do you want to do with your future?

LC: In the immediate future, I want to continue working on youth programs in conflict and postconflict environments. Eventually, I would like to write a book and potentially return to the university setting as a professor of practice.

DW: What advice do you have for future UA students?

LC: The University of Arizona provides so many resources for students to conduct independent research, to travel and to pursue niche interests. You just have to find them. Ask questions and stay curious.

DW: What is your ideal job or career and why?

LC: I don’t have an ideal career. I want to travel and creatively approach global challenges like war and migration. At this point, I don’t care if I do that with an NGO, at a university or as a journalist.

DW: When did you find your passion, and what was that like?

LC: My passions change as I learn. I will always love helping people overcome personal challenges, whether in the residence hall or in a disaster zone. I just pursue what interests me and hope everything works out. That seems to be going well so far.

ARTS & LIFE | WINTER BREAK

GRAPHIC BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

Need plans for break? Here are a few tips

BY TAYLOR GLEESON @tgleezy

The UA and its students are set to go on winter break starting Dec. 14. While some may be traveling back to their homes across the nation, the 50-degree Tucson weather is here to stay. Whether this is your first winter in Tucson or you are a Tucson winter veteran, the Daily Wildcat is here to outline some things to do over the holiday break.

Take a hike to the Cookie Cabin on Mount Lemmon The Cookie Cabin is a little house located on Mount Lemmon which offers cookies, pizza and ice cream to its patrons. The Cookie Cabin is a family-owned business that is well known for their “world-famous colossal cookies,” according to its website. If you have an afternoon free and you are looking for a new adventure, try the Cookie Cabin and enjoy a hike while you are there.

See a movie at the Loft Cinema This local nonprofit art house theater, located at 3233 E. Speedway Blvd., screens first-run independent films, documentaries and classic movies. The theater will have several new releases this winter and will host

special events such as the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Dec. 15 at midnight. This is a Loft Cinema tradition for over 40 years, according to their website. Audience members are encouraged to dress up and interact with each other. A full schedule and pricing can be found online or at the box office.

See the sights at the Parade of Lights Festival The 24th annual Parade of Lights will be held on Dec. 15. The event will feature floats, dancers, local mariachis and dogs that will be parading the streets of Tucson. The parade will also be marching past a winter festival in Jácome Plaza that will have live entertainment and food, according to the Downtown Tucson website.

Holiday Nights in the garden From the weekends of Nov. 30 through Dec. 15, Tohono Chul will be hosting Holiday Nights, where guests can stroll through gardens while hearing live music and looking at “a million lights.” Holiday Nights will include entertainment and vendors for guests to enjoy, and each of the six nights features a different entertainer, according to its website. Admission is $12 for members, $16 for non-

members and $3 for children 12 and under.

Lights of the World Nov. 8 through Jan. 2, Tucson will have its own Lights of the World, one of the largest light and lantern festivals in North America. Lights of the World will be at Kino Sports Complex and will feature acrobatic and sea lion shows, and includes a large display of lights that feature different cultures and countries from all over the world.

Lights of the World also has over 15 carnival rides and games for added fun. Tickets start at $24.99 and every Tuesday active military and first responders get in free.

Hike the Seven Falls For those looking for a free and active activity, Seven Falls is the perfect hike. Located in the Catalina Foothills and part of Sabino Canyon, Seven Falls offers water features and an 8.2-mile hike. “Besides being the number 1 rated trail in Tucson by All Trails, it boasts seven waterfalls, incredible views and a moderately easy hike,” said Arizona Hikers Guide on its website.

Hit the ice with a Tucson Roadrunners game For those who enjoy sports, Tucson is home of the Roadrunners,

the minor-league affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes. The hockey team has a variety of different games and offers interactive activities with the players and their mascot, Dusty the Roadrunner. Located at the Tucson Convention Center, tickets start at just $10 and with a variety of food and drink, a Roadrunners game is the perfect setting to kick back and watch some good old-fashioned hockey.

Rock-out at the Rialto Theater Throughout the year, the Rialto Theater, located at 318 E. Congress St., offers different shows and concerts from rap artists to dance shows. The theater offers general admission, and the month of December features acts such as The Smashing Pumpkins and Madame Ozzy & the Jack. Prices vary and the full concert calendar can be found online. Other venues include 191 Toole and the Fox Tucson Theatre.

Hike your way through Picacho Peak Another outdoor activity for those who enjoy the Tucson weather is the Picacho Peak hike. Located 40 minutes northwest of Tucson, Picacho Peak offers different trails and campsites for all enthusiasts. Being a state park, people at Picacho Peak can view the wildlife all around the hike.

inals are soon to be over, the weight of them lifted from your chest. No more cramming or stress or barely eating and sleeping for days on end. Now you’re free for the next four weeks, unless you’re one of the few who will take a winter course, to whom I’ll say: Good luck, you’re a trooper!

But, for those of you who will be taking a break from school for the next month, what do you have planned? Are you going home, traveling, working?

I know my first winter break after a grueling semester I felt on top of the world, ready to sleep and lounge around for the next four weeks before I had to jump back into the next semester.

I went home and worked the holiday shifts at Barnes & Noble, and, let me tell you, some people can get aggressive about their books. When I wasn’t at work, I was at home trying to find my sanity by sleeping and catching up on all the movies I had missed when I was gone.

However, as tempting as lounging around until school starts again might be, I highly recommend against this plan of action. Trust me, I’ve been there, I’ve done it and I sorely regretted it. By the time I returned for the spring semester, instead of feeling refreshed and motivated to begin my next round of classes, I felt sluggish and off-center.

It turns out, taking a mental break, like everything else in life, is best taken in moderation. If you remain stationary for too long, you lose all forward momentum, and it’s harder to get started again as a result. How can you combat this?

The best way I have found is to keep busy and keep your mind working.

I’m not saying keep cramming it with information you’ll need for school or taking some intensive course. If you find that is what works best for you, go for it, but again, you don’t need to be

that aggressive.

What I do suggest is finding something to keep your mind active.

If you’re anything like me, you have a long list of books you’d like to read in your lifetime. So, pick one to read in your newly found down time.

I know I rarely find the time to read anything outside of school during the semester, so it’s extraordinarily satisfying to pick up a long-lost friend and explore the depths of a new world to help recuperate from a difficult semester. I already have plans to finish reading “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate” by Naomi Klein.

If reading isn’t your thing, then find your thing — go hiking with friends and family, maybe work on that book you told yourself you’d write, devote time to your craft, spend time on your Rosetta Stone lessons, try out that boxing class you heard about.

Find something every day to help make yourself better and keep yourself moving, even if it’s for an hour a day.

Your brain will thank you for it when the new school term comes around.

Planning your time, whether in school or not, is one of the best ways to maintain your schedule and motivation, especially as you likely had a routine down pat by the time finals rolled around.

You knew when your classes were, you had get-togethers with friends scheduled, sports or choir practice, football and basketball games penciled in and whatever else you had planned to make the most of your time, so keep that momentum going.

Now, if you’re reading this, please don’t think I’ll judge if you take a few days to do absolutely nothing. I’d be a hypocrite if I did, because after months of hard work and stress, we’re definitely entitled to a few days that require minimal brain power.

Take your day, or three. You’ve earned it. Have a great break, everyone!

— Alexis Richardson is a graduate student studying journalism who is ready to write a few chapters of her book and prep for her final semester at UA.

In 1984, the first Arizona Area Health Education Center opened in Nogales, Ariz., Residency programs in rural area are vital, Reel said, because medical in response to a shortage of health practitioners around the country. By the end residents of the 1980s, AzAHEC was a statewide system serving all 15 counties tend to practice within a hundred miles of where they do with five centers: Nogales, Somerton, Flagstaff, Globe and their residency.

Those students will be participating in clinical rotations for at least three months in rural and under-served areas.

“We have the complexity of providing care at the Arizona-Mexico border, and when you look at the need, the further away from Phoenix and Tucson, and you consider the sheer geography and diversity of the populations served in Arizona, we can run into shortages in those environments.”

While the health professional shortage in rural areas is certainly not new – Reel said the reason AHEC was first funded by the federal government back in 1971 was due to a shortage – she’s hopeful about the progress that’s been made.

“I would like to think that we are improving it and that the needle starts to move,” Reel said. “At the end of the day, it’s about improving access to quality care for rural Arizona communities and our under-served urban areas.”

Tales within the walls: How a family home turned into the UA Key Desk

BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs

At 1533 E. Helen St. is a charming 88-yearold Spanish Style townhouse, now decked in modern additions: a wheelchair access ramp, barred windows and an almost crudely covered porch. The house is now property of the University of Arizona and houses the Key Desk, but for over 60 years, it was the home of two university professors and their children.

In 1925, Edwin Carpenter and Ethel Carpenter met as professors of different sciences, one looking for beauty on the ground and another searching for wisdom in the stars, said their daughter Emily Carpenter-Long.

He was a nationally recognized astronomer, a would-be director of the Steward Observatory and head of the Astronomy Department, and she was a fearless biologist and prolific writer.

They were good friends for a long time — they were hiking buddies that traversed the Tucson mountains and surrounding desert for hours, returning just in time to watch the sunset. Then, in 1933, after the tragic death of Edwin’s first wife, they married and bought the little house on Helen Street soon after.

Edwin and Ethel were nature lovers and photographers who spent every spare penny on cameras, summer road trips with the family and classical records, Carpenter-Long said as she recalled her childhood memories.

Ethel developed hundreds of photographs in the dark room of the observatory, and after having her children, Roger Carpenter and Emily Carpenter-Long, she had a black screen on the kitchen window she used as a makeshift darkroom at the house on Helen Street.

On the oven roaster in the kitchen was a printer. The Carpenters printed all their photos and Christmas cards on their own.

After summer trips to places unknown, where they had captured everything in nature on 35 millimeter slides, Edwin and Ethel hosted dinner and a slide show of their best pictures from their family adventures.

“My parents loved to entertain. It was always pretty lively despite only two children,” Carpenter-Long said. “Everybody would be lined up on the couch, and my father would talk about every slide on the projector.”

Edwin would also host astronomers when they came to Tucson for the winter to observe the stars. On Thanksgiving, the dinner table was always filled with scientists, CarpenterLong said.

They were a family of scientists, with their

children following their mother’s footsteps in their love for the Earth’s creatures. Roger said he wanted to be a herpetologist and eventually became a zoology professor. And though Carpenter-Long is identified as a Phoenix artist, she also earned degrees in zoology and botany.

“My father’s aspect of science was magical and wonderous, contemplating distances and nebuli and white dwarf stars,” CarpenterLong said. “Whereas my brother and I enjoyed handling animals and picking flowers. We became collectors.”

And the desert wildlife seemed fascinated with Carpenters, too. Soon enough, the

basement was full of snakes in terrariums and baby hamsters. Some wilder things also found their way to the tiny house.

“We always had animals — stray cats, stray dogs, an owl once,” Carpenter-Long said. “We even had a pet bobcat. My brother brought home a kitten from the Sonoran Desert Museum. His name was Geronimo and he purred so loudly you could hear him all throughout the house.”

In 1963, Edwin died of a heart attack. The UA had the right of eminent domain over the properties surrounding his family’s home and Ethel feared they would take the house from her, according to Carpenter-Long.

“[The UA] said Mother could stay in the house until she died,” Carpenter-Long said.

“I don’t think they expected her to live to 95 years old.”

After her mother’s passing in 1995, the UA bought the house on Helen Street, but Carpenter-Long managed to take all the old light fixtures and a chandelier.

That was not the end of the story. When cleaning out the house, Carpenter-Long found a massive collection of letter correspondences between her mother and grandmother in Maryland over the years.

Ethel had written to her family every single

day. It turned out that Carpenter-Long’s grandmother had saved every letter Ethel wrote.

Carpenter-Long took the mass of letters home and, after having these letter for such a long time, unsure of what to do with them, threw them all in the garbage.

“I felt so guilty that the next morning I scooped them all out, put them back in the footlockers, drove them down to Tucson, handed them to my brother and said, ‘Here, you throw them out’,’” Carpenter-Long

said. “He didn’t throw them out. Instead, he decided there was a story there, edited all of those letters and self-published two volumes.”

The two volumes, “Letters from Tucson, 1925-1927” and “Letters from Tucson, 19331942” by Ethel Carpenter, edited by Roger Carpenter, chronicle the Arizona life of this family during the Depression from the openeyed perspective of a scientist, wife and mother during two vital periods of her life.

They are the story of a city, a family and a home. If the walls of the little house on Helen Street could speak, it would tell these stories.

NEWS | SPACE TRAVEL

OSIRIS-REx makes contact with Bennu

BY ALANA MINKLER @alana_minkler

OSIRIS-REx executed an arrival burn on Monday, Dec. 3, after two years of space travel. It took seven minutes for the signal to travel back to Earth to find out if the burn was executed correctly.

University of Arizona officials and scientists waited for the signal and celebrated the achievement at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre on Monday morning.

The purpose of the mission is to answer one of the biggest scientific questions: What are asteroids made of? The spacecraft’s goal is to obtain material from the surface of asteroid Bennu and bring it back to Earth for scientists to study.

Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator on the mission and UA professor of planetary science and cosmochemistry, gave a speech before the arrival.

“Today really marks the beginning of the great adventure that is exploration of asteroid Bennu,” Lauretta said.

History of the mission “We’ve been part of the space exploration since the dawn of the space age,” Lauretta said, referring to past NASA collaborations.

This is the largest project that the UA has ever done with NASA. Dr. Robert C. Robbins, the UA president, said, “I think it’s the great value and power of a large research university to help to answer these questions and discover new knowledge.”

Timothy Swindle, director of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, said, “we have proven that we can run a mission of this size. NASA has said that this is one of the better-run missions that we’ve had.” This gives the UA a better chance of getting similar missions in the future.

According to Erin Morton, the project’s communications lead, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, a global security and aerospace company, developed and is flying the spacecraft. They partnered with the UA and spent seven years developing a proposal. NASA approved the mission,

we’ve been waiting for OSIRIS-REx to get to the asteroid, so now it’s exciting, because we’re actually getting to do these things that we’ve been talking about.”

While researchers want to know what asteroids are made of, they also want to see if the data lead to any information on the formation of life. Materials that were present when the Earth was formed and life began might be found, because asteroids are remnants of the early Solar System.

“We are hoping to obtain information on the origins of the Solar System and, potentially, life itself,” Burke said.

making UA the principle investigator and leader of the mission. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is in charge of mission assurance and systems engineering for the mission.

The OSIRIS-REx mission will cost $1 billion total, because the mission takes place over a 15-year period. Work started on the design and building of the spacecraft in 2011, finished in 2015,the craft was tested and launched in 2016, and it has been flying in space ever since.

“We have not been able to see Bennu clearly from Earth,” Morton said. “We had a general sense of what it looked like, but we didn’t know for sure. In the last two months, we have been able to see Bennu better than we ever have before. We have actually watched while it has taken shape as a little world that’s complete and distinct on its own.”

“Now that we know what it looks like, the next big question is what it’s going to be like when we try to get the sample,” Morton said.

“We’ve got a lot of work left to do. Getting

there is just the start,” Swindle said.

Results OSIRIS-REx still need to spend 18 more months mapping out Bennu before finally collecting a sample from its surface. Then, after a six month repositioning period, the spacecraft will travel back home for two more years, landing in the Utah desert in Sept. 2023. The samples and data will be analyzed over the next two years.

According to Morton, 25 percent of the samples will be studied by the UA, NASA and other researchers. The other 75 percent will be stored in the NASA Johnson Space Center.

“Years from now, decades from now, generations from now, people can request and study pieces of the asteroid,” Morton said. NASA wanted to make sure that the samples are around for when we have more questions or more advanced technology.

Keara Burke, an image processing intern on the mission and a senior majoring in systems engineering and math, said, “for most of the time we’ve been on the mission,

Mapping 2020

OSIRIS-REx will stay on the comet for 18 months mapping and gathering samples.

Students: the next generation of scientists You may be asking, why have a bunch of students work on such a big project?

“One of the reasons why NASA picked the University of Arizona to run this mission is because we were going to bring on students at every level,” Morton said. They have undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students involved.

According to Swindle, the UA has over 150 students working on not just engineering, but graphic design, engineering and accounting, all of which are important.

“I like the idea of an undergraduate cutting their teeth, building a piece of spacecraft that has one chance to work, and they know it has one chance to work.

When they go out to find and find a job somewhere else, having that experience I think really does make a difference,” Swindle said.

Burke expressed gratitude for the opportunity.

“The reason is providing an opportunity to students like me to learn how to be scientists and being a part of things larger than ourselves. It’s a way to train the next generation of scientists,” Burke said.

“Working on this mission has been the most life-changing event that’s happened to me so far. This is where I’ve learned most of the skills I have. It’s incredible to be able to go to work every day and know that what I’m contributing matters.”

NEWS | VARIETY SHOW

Bennuval celebrates both science and humanities As OSIRIS-REx approached its destination of the asteroid Bennu, artists and researchers gathered to revel in the achievement

BY EMILY CHRESSANTHIS AND CONNOR FRIES @DailyWildcat

Bennuval, a family-friendly variety show, was put on by the College of Humanities faculty in correspondence with local artists and musicians on Sat., Dec. 1.

Bennuval was designed to “celebrate the spirit of human curiosity, culture and knowledge, from the ancient myths of the stars to the modern scientific exploration of our universe,” according to the Bennuval website.

The event was also for celebrating the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx’s thenprojected contact with the asteroid Bennu on Monday, Dec. 3, and to explore the relationship between science and the humanities.

“It’s just really interesting to sort of emphasize the notion that human curiosity has extended from those ancient times to now and some of the same questions are still relevant,” said Eric Swedlund, senior writer at the College of Humanities. “They’re still the fundamental questions that people ask, so it’s just interesting to present to the public that science, humanities and arts are not separate, they are really kind of more tied in together than people think.”

The event contained modern dance, poetry, live music, improv,

science presentations and videos and storytelling, all to convey the relationship between science and the humanities, especially in the case of OSIRIS-REx and Bennu.

The name “Bennu” was chosen out of thousands of student entries in a global contest by the UA and was entered by 9-year-old Mike Puzio from North Carolina. Puzio said he submitted “Bennu” because he thought that OSIRIS-REx looked like the gray heron Bennu in Ancient Egyptian cosmology.

“We actually have an egyptologist to talk about the myth itself and sort of reinforce those connections about how they’re exploring and in the Egyptian myth, though they’ll go into it more, but [it’s] sort of like the origin of life, and they’re searching in the asteroid for basically their biological origins of life on Earth,” Swedlund said on the mythology in the show. “It’s kind of that two halves: The ancient people looked at the stars and were trying to figure out [how] life began, and the modern people are taking rocket ships and going to asteroids to figure out how life began. So it’s sort of that tie between the two.”

Overall, the event was well received, and there were attendees of all ages and backgrounds, such as families, senior citizens and students.

“I really liked it. It’s very interesting, not what I expected, but I guess I didn’t know what I was expecting in the first place,” architecture student Kevin Choi said. “It’s really creative the way it’s all brought together in a cohesive, entire performance.”

Choi said he appreciated the theme of the relationship between science and the humanities, explaining he related the event with his major being a mix of both art and science.

Bennuval also brought the Tucson community together for a

more in-depth look at humanity’s relationship with science and Earth.

“Really what we’re trying to get across with this show is that whether you’re in humanities or science, even though those may not seem like they are similar, we’re really all kind of after the same thing,” said Helen Bernard, director of external & alumni relations at the UA College of Humanities.

“We’re trying to ask the question ‘Why are we here?’ whether it’s through space exploration or exploration of another culture or society.”

NEWS | NAVAJO LANGUAGE PRODUCTION

Hai Dooleeł: A play to preserve culture

BY ALANA MINKLER @alana_minkler

Students from the Department of Linguistics and the Department of American Indian Studies wrote and directed a play, “Hai Dooleeł,” in the Diné language and showcased it Friday, Nov. 30, in the Social Sciences building. Aresta Tsosie-Paddock, an assistant professor in the department of American Indian Studies, helped students put together the play and narrated it. She said it was their first time doing a play in the Navajo language.

According to Tsosie-Paddock, the play started out as an assignment in the Intermediate Navajo Language class that had students write a dialogue, but everyone merged theirs together, edited it and turned it into a script.

The play, “Hai Dooleł,” which means “when winter comes,” is about a crow, a mountain lion and a coyote who come up with a plan to kill three unsuspecting animals.

The play is told entirely in Navajo, and audience members are given a playbill with the script and the English translations so non-Navajo speakers can follow along.

Coyote stories, folk tales about animals and the misdeeds of the coyote figure, are an integral part of Navajo culture and meant to teach moral lessons to Navajo children, according to Tsosie-Paddock.

“Language and culture go hand-in-hand, because a lot of our ceremonies, prayers and creation stories are all told in the Navajo language, because each term has depth,”

Tsosie-Paddock said.

“It’s really helped the students come a long way with their language,” Tsosie-Paddock said. “For example, Brittany [Cooper] is from Gila River. I’ve just seen her blossom, especially during this period of doing the play.”

Cooper is a psychology junior from the Akimel O’odham tribe. She said her stepmom and grandma speak O’odham fluently, inspiring her to learn Navajo.

“It was difficult to learn a whole new language,” Cooper said. “Just being able to do it out there in front of a lot of people gave me a lot of confidence to keep learning.”

The Diné language, the language of the Navajo Nation, is a difficult language to learn, with four different tones, different letters, nuances and complex meanings.

Currently, Navajo is the most-spoken Native American language, but speakers are struggling to pass it on through generations.

Thelma Scott, a sophomore in speech, language and hearing science, said, “the most important thing is to know who you are and what you came from and who you represent and to pass that on to other generations.”

In the 1900s, federally-funded boarding schools were established and many Natives were forbidden to speak Navajo, being forced to speak English instead to assimilate.

Millicent Pepion, a second-year PhD student in American Indian Studies who played a deer in the play, said her mom went to a boarding school where the Navajo language was taken away.

SYDNEY KENIG | THE DAILY WILDCAT

STUDENTS OF THE AIS/LING 204A Intermediate Navajo language class perform a play entitled Hai Dooleeł (When Winter Comes) on Friday, Nov. 30 at the University of Arizona in the Social Sciences building.

“It’s been really cool because I’ve been practicing my Navajo with my mom, so she’s remembering it,” Pepion said. “Also, I’ve been practicing with my daughter, so we are revitalizing it within our family.”

Tsosie-Paddock said that showcasing the language and culture was educational to bothstudents and audience members.

‘b’ right back There was a clear sign crime had been committed at the Gamma Phi Beta sorority house when a large wooden sign depicting the letter “B” went missing Nov. 16.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived at the scene of the crime at approximately 5:15 p.m. and spoke with the sorority member who reported the theft.

She told the officer that at about 5 p.m. she was in an Uber when she spotted a man walking down Speedway Boulevard carrying a large, pink, wooden “B.” The sorority member lead the officer to the last place she saw the sign, a shed near the house’s parking lot, where a wooden sign of the Greek letter Gamma was still leaning against it.

She said at 3:15 p.m. that same day she saw the “B” also leaning against the shed.

The officer also spoke with the Gamma Phi Beta house mother, who told him that the cameras that face the shed were not working.

She said that she would want to prosecute on behalf of the sorority if a suspect was found.

While heading to the sorority, the officer reported they had received word another officer had detained a man matching the description, carrying a wooden “B” on the corner of Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue.

The sorority member agreed to see if she could confirm his identity. The officer gave her a ride, and she positively identified both the man and the wooden “B.” He then drove her back to the sorority house.

According to the second officer, who detained the man, the man initially appeared “agitated” and said he would take care of his court dates.

While patting him down, the second officer discovered a thin, blue pipe. Upon further questioning, the man also admitted to having marijuana on him.

A records check also revealed the man had four outstanding warrants with the Tucson Police Department.

When asked why he took the sign, the man said he wanted it because his wife’s name began with a “B”. He said he did not intend to steal the sign and initially believed it to have been discarded.

The officer arrested the man on charges of burglary, possession of marijuana and

possession of paraphernalia. He was booked in Pima County Jail.

The wooden “B” was returned to Gamma Phi Beta.

‘gun’ in a flash A mysterious guest with a firearm was found sleeping in Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall on Nov. 18 but disappeared without a trace before anyone could learn his name.

A UAPD officer arrived at the residence hall at approximately 1:30 p.m. The officer met with both the student who made the report and the hall’s community director.

The reporting student told the officer that just before making the call to UAPD, he entered his dorm room to find an unknown male guest sleeping in his bed. His roommate was also asleep in the room on his own bed.

His entrance apparently woke the guest, who immediately ran out of the room after grabbing a black semi-automatic firearm from under the bedsheets. He ran past the reporting student, who did not see which direction the guest ran off in.

When the guest ran off, the reporting student told the community director about what had happened.

The reporting student clarified to the officer that he knew what BB guns looked like and that this one had lacked the orange markings.

He led the officer to his room, where his

roommate was still asleep. The officer woke the roommate and asked about the guest.

The roommate said he had met the guest the night before through a friend. The guest asked if he could sleep in the room, and the roommate said yes. He claimed that he had no knowledge of the firearm’s presence.

Attempts to contact the friend who had introduced the guest over Snapchat failed.

The officer contacted the friend, who lived in Posada San Pedro Residence Hall.

The friend stated that he hadn’t hung out with the roommate that night. He hadn’t even been in that hall. He also did not know anyone with the same name as the guest.

According to the friend, the roommate had posted a picture on Snapchat of him holding the firearm. The picture had since been deleted.

The officer spoke with the roommate again later that day and informed him of what the friend had said. The officer further explained the roommate had not yet committed any criminal acts, but that lying to a police officer could lead to possible charges.

The roommate said that he understood and he’d met the guest at the Hub the night before they came back to his room to play video games.

The rest of his story was consistent with what he told the officer before.

He maintained that he did not know about the firearm and denied posting the picture on Snapchat.

EMILY CHRESSANTHIS | THE DAILY WILDCAT

ROWS OF PLANTS GROW above the Student Union Memorial Center. The garden, which grows thousands of pounds of food, is set to officially open sometime in mid-December.

Rooftop garden feeds UA community

BY EMILY CHRESSANTHIS @DailyWildcat

The rooftop garden atop the Student Union Memorial Center, designed and run by students, has provided fresh produce for the University of Arizona community for a year and was inspired by the UA Campus Pantry, according to Todd Millay, director of the Arizona Student Unions.

“We have a lot of food-insecure students on campus, grad students, faculty and staff, undergrads that don’t have access to food and nutrition very well. And the Campus Pantry ... is really the reason this is even occurring, because we’re trying to produce fresh vegetables and produce that we will harvest from here and send downstairs to the pantry,” Millay said.

Millay said that there is a harvest every week and the design for the garden was chosen through a campuswide case competition about 18 months ago. A hundred and twenty-five students, self-formed into groups of five, participated in this competition, and the judges were master gardeners from Tucson and engineers.

“The top five teams got to present in Gallagher Theater after they made their way through the competition. Big audience that night. The winning team suggested this, and so we literally built the winning team’s idea. So this is a student idea, actually — pretty awesome,” Millay said.

The garden is about 1,000 square feet, housing a little over 200 plants. The vegetables grown include bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, slicing tomatoes and minicucumbers. The garden only uses natural sunlight, and nutrients are recirculated with a loss of only five percent, according to Millay.

“This is all grown hydroponically ... there is no soil here. What we are growing in is called rockwool, and it is a volcanic rock that’s heated and spun. It’s kind of like the pink insulation material that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe’s for your house, but it’s processed just a little bit differently to grow in,” said Stacy Tollefson, the project and production manager for the greenhouse and a professor in the Department of Biosystems Engineering.

Rockwool does not provide any nutrients, so the plants are fed an inorganic nutrient mixture that is hooked up to a timed system. The plants also take in fertilizer.

All varieties grown in the garden are non-GMO hybrids, meaning that different species were naturally cross-pollinated and are without further genetic modification. About 3,000 pounds of cucumbers, 1,200 pounds of slicing tomatoes, 800 pounds of cherry tomatoes and 250 pounds of peppers are grown annually.

“The nice things is that we are doing this for students [in] need, and faculty or staff [in] need, and that’s great.

We don’t have to worry about having to sell stuff and getting a profit and that kind of thing. This is grown by students, for students. Closing that loop is great,” Tollefson said.

Tollefson recruits new interns each semester, and interested students can contact her for an application.

Interning students can gain experience with growing produce and with hydroponics, as well as earn engagement credits. Tollefson can be reached at stacyl@email.arizona.edu.

The garden has not yet set a date for its official opening.

Our plans for the coming apocalypse Humans aren't acting fast enough to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Here are our columnists' satirical suggestions on how they'll spend their last years on a normal Earth

BY OPINION COLUMNISTS @DailyWildcat

Toni Marcheva

Alec Scott

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut almost in half by 2030 to avert “global environmental catastrophe.” (Doesn’t that phrase give you chills?) And, no surprise, we’re not even close to taking enough action.

This is what we plan to do in our last twelve years before the "end of the world."

Alexis Richardson Why on Earth did we plan for the zombie apocalypse? All those shows and movies about zombies taking over and zombie apocalypse survival guide books didn’t really help us prepare for our final years of bliss. You know what does? Rock climbing. When all the ice caps finally melt, and half of the U.S. is covered in ocean, I’ll be living large on the side of a cliff, away from traffic, abhorrent property prices and even potential zombies. I’ll be spending the next twelve years training to be on the same level as world-class climbers, getting ready to climb as high as I can and setting up shop on the side of a cliff without the fear of falling. It’ll be great! I’ll have an amazing view, be out of reach of Jaws and have mastered the art of minimalism as I’ll have to carry my worldly possessions on my back, unless I can find a cave in the side of this cliff. The only downside will be having seafood as my food of convenience. I’m not a fan, but assuming there are any fish left in the ocean in twelve years, if it’s between fish and starvation, I’ll take the fish.

I have taken the recent government report on the encroaching climate point of no return in stride, and I have instead decided to take my mind off of it with a series of land deals that will keep me busy in these exciting 12 years that are ahead of us. While some may be quite agitated by the idea of climate change, I prefer to think of it as climate opportunity, the great opener of possibilities. For one, land grants in the Rockies are going at about $450 per acre in Wyoming, which is about $200 under what it is currently in Colorado; so if you’re in the market for a mountain escape bunker 7,000 feet above sea level, boy, do I have the land deal for you. For others, land in Alaska is as cheap as it is going to get until the climate opportunity kicks into full swing and we can grow oranges in the last frontier. So get it while it’s cold! Or you could swing over to one of the many climate opportunity websites and use their predicted future water levels to find what will be beachfront property in twenty years and what will be the prime scuba dive spots of tomorrow.

If the world is to avoid crossing the 1.5 C threshold, CO2 emissions must be cut drastically to 45 percent of 2010 levels by 2030. . .

. . . And to “net zero” by 2050.

According to an article from the Independent

I have plans to use my last twelve years well and maybe save the world along the way.

I might cut meat out of my diet on Mondays if I remember. Also, I’ll probably write a satirical piece asking the church to expand Lent to the whole year to give me another incentive to give up meat, because “global environmental catastrophe” isn’t enough to dissuade me from a burger on most days, especially when the guy in front of me orders two.

I will lament the loss of the coral reefs for the two minutes I allow myself to as a prescribed break from writing my economics PhD thesis. Maybe I’ll be compelled to buy one of those "RIP coral" shirts that will pop up on Amazon at around that time. I will feel good about myself when I choose the sustainably farmed cotton shirt that costs $3 more than the standard.

For another minute, I’ll think about what economics will be in the post-apocalyptic world, and maybe get (a little) excited about having to invent new theories. I’ll also question if in the future economists will be eaten first because we have no practical skills. Then I will dismiss this as dark Russian humor.

I will pay a visit to Glacier National Park to see the last 1/6th of glaciers, only to discover that only seven remain. And they’ll look a little pathetic, so I will drive off in my ‘97 Thunderbird that I somehow managed to keep running.

My future husband and I (yes, I am optimistic!) will have to decide whether or not to have children who grow up during the apocalypse. Just in case, I’ll write a few poems about flowers that my kids can discover when they’re older. Then, I’ll cry about those nasty politicians who called climate change a hoax and left us in such a wretched state. Afterwards, I’ll wonder why we hadn’t started anything in 2018 when we knew the apocalypse was upon us.

Maybe this will shape the government into pushing more awareness about it rather than saying it doesn’t exist at all.

Apparently, there are only twelve years of normal life on Earth left.

I believe preparing for the last normal twelve years of life on Earth is important.

Never again will we be worried about how many followers we have on Instagram or Twitter. I’m sure people will still be posting on those platforms pretending to be “woke” when the apocalypse hits, though.

I really have no idea how to prepare.

Maybe I should do things I have never done, like actually going to class and getting this degree instead of sleeping in. I guess the last twelve years on Earth should really shape us into gear on more than one account.

Another thought would be jumping off the internet and cracking open the books for finals week. Maybe if I know I only have twelve years left, I’ll do things that actually matter. That’s a thought.

SPORTS | FOOTBALL SEASON AWARDS

Making the grade: End-of-season awards

BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKleifield

The 2018 Arizona football campaign ended earlier than expected with a heartbreaking 41-40 defeat in the Territorial Cup. There will be plenty of time to discuss where Arizona went wrong in head coach Kevin Sumlin’s first season at the helm, as well as ample opportunity to point out how the ‘Cats can shorten the divide amongst themselves and the Pac-12’s elite performers between now and next fall. In the meantime, there are several players worthy of special recognition.

Arizona’s unsung heroes helped bring this team within striking distance of competing for a division title, despite never really forming a consistent identity. The 2018 season will largely be remembered for the team’s frustrating inconsistencies. That’s why these players’ performances were so vital to the ‘Cats’ overall success on a weekly basis. Listed below are the players that made an irreplaceable impact all year long.

Team MVP – J.J. Taylor, RS Sophomore, Running Back 2018 season stats: 255 carries, 1,434 yards rushing, 5.6 yards per carry, 2,107 all-purpose yards, seven total touchdowns.

Taylor’s game reached new heights this season. After bursting onto the scene in 2017 in a shared backfield role, Taylor shouldered the majority of carries for the Wildcats this year.

His production was mind-boggling throughout the ‘Cats’ 12-game schedule. Taylor accumulated more than 150 yards from scrimmage in five games. Even more incredibly, he totaled 100 all-purpose yards 10 different times. The diminutive scat-back displayed his toughness

between the tackles and ability to make defenders miss on a weekly basis.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Taylor’s game was the workload that he proved more than capable of handling. Taylor touched the football 20 times in nine of the ‘Cats’ 12 games.

He tallied more than 25 carries on four separate occasions. Although he’s not the biggest ball carrier, he assumed his role as Arizona’s bell-cow back with confidence and a knack for creating chunk-plays.

Even though Khalil Tate wasn’t featured as a running option this season — teams knew to key in on Taylor by midseason — Taylor managed to continually make opposing defenses pay for underestimating his skill-set. He even starred as a kick return specialist before having to lessen his monstrous workload to some degree.

Taylor was far and away the most dynamic player on an Arizona offense that underperformed for much of the season, but his one knock came back to haunt him when the ‘Cats’ season was on the line. The primary area that Taylor has to improve in before his junior crusade is taking care of the football. He coughed up the rock seven times in 2018, five of which he lost.

Offensive Player of the Year – Shawn Poindexter, RS Senior, Wide Receiver 2018 season stats: 42 receptions, 759 yards, 11 touchdowns.

Poindexter finished his college career with a bang. The rangy senior receiver evolved into a true No.1 threat for Tate down the team’s final stretch.

He kicked off the 2018 campaign with a strong showing in the first four matchups, tallying 16 catches for 369 yards and two scores. Poindexter struggled to produce in three of the

‘Cats’ contests halfway through the year, but managed to bounce back in memorable fashion with the season seemingly crumbling away.

In Arizona’s last five games, Poindexter hauled in 18 catches for 313 yards and an astounding nine touchdowns. In three consecutive games, he was on the receiving end of just two passes, both of which resulted in parties in the end zone. Poindexter’s sudden ascension came after relatively quiet seasons over the last two years.

His 2018 season totals nearly doubled all of his previous career marks and make his former lone touchdown grab that much more lonely.

This year, Poindexter flashed elite ability to high point the football and bring down contested catches.

Although he’s not the fastest athlete on the field, Poindexter often found himself in position to make a play on 50-50 balls thrown his way. His 11th touchdown reception of the season came in the first half against ASU, when he corralled arguably his best catch of the season, mossing a defender in the back corner of the end zone.

That highlight reel play also stenciled his name into the UA record books, tying Arizona’s single-season mark for touchdown catches. Poindexter’s career as a Wildcat may have ended sooner than he would have liked, but thanks to his stellar 2018 performances, he’ll likely find scouts interested at the next level.

Defensive Player of the Year – Colin Schooler, Sophomore, Linebacker 2018 season stats: 119 total tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions.

Schooler followed up his Pac12 Defensive Freshman of the Year campaign with an even more stupendous sophomore season.

Arizona’s heralded defensive star was on an absolute tear to begin the year, compiling 66 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and one interception in the ‘Cats first six games.

Arizona’s defense was completely dependent on Schooler’s fiery play for most of the year, but eventually Marcel Yates’ unit did acquire some other capable playmakers. Still, Schooler performed at an elite level. In road games against Oregon State, UCLA and Washington State, Schooler tallied 21 solo stops, 9.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and 2.5 sacks.

His ability to make plays from all over the field — whether it is in pass coverage, in the backfield or chasing a play down from behind — separates him from some of the other top linebackers in the conference.

Schooler’s performance this year proves that his breakout season in 2017 wasn’t a fluke, unlike another former freshman star linebacker (Tony Fields II). Instead, it was the start of what is well on its way to becoming one of the ‘Cats’ most storied defensive careers.

Although Schooler eclipsed most of his marks from last season, the national media will likely forget to honor his feats because of how porous Arizona’s defense was throughout the year.

Hopefully, with reinforcements along the defensive line and in the secondary, the ‘Cats will be able to build around their defensive centerpiece for 2019.

Newcomer of the Year – Josh McCauley, RS Sophomore, Center 2018 season stats: Started all 12 games, anchored offensive line ranked No. 25 in the nation in total offense, No. 37 in the nation in rushing offense.

McCauley valiantly filled the void of pre-season Rimington Award watchlist center Nathan Eldridge this year.

Although Eldridge’s absence has yet to be fully explained, McCauley’s consistency up front helped alleviate some of the pressure that naturally surrounds a young and inexperienced offensive line.

Entering the 2018 season, McCauley had only briefly appeared in a backup role in a handful of games. However, that didn’t prevent him from quickly taking over the most important position on the football field. Arizona’s offensive line struggled to make ends meet when starting left tackle Layth Friekh was sidelined to start the year, but McCauley’s presence in the middle paid dividends quicker than most anticipated.

In the second game of the season, against Houston, McCauley generated some social media fame by nonchalantly slapping the helmet of potential top10 pick Ed Oliver when he appeared to jump offsides. In week three, McCauley anchored an offensive line that inflicted 626 yards of total offense.

The following week, he led the unit that paved the way for Arizona to rush for 442 yards on 51 carries. By season’s end, McCauley was partially responsible for the success of an offense that exceeded 500 yards from scrimmage on six different occasions. His strength and quickness at the point of attack were instrumental to the ‘Cats’ offensive success.

Most importantly, McCauley rarely made mistakes. He was consistent in snapping the football when Tate aligned in shotgun and was perfect when his quarterback moved in under center. It will be interesting to see how McCauley’s role changes next season, if at all. The bottom line is that his 12-game performance was impressive enough to make most UA fans forget about the vacancy left behind by Eldridge.

do you want... answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Condoms protect against chlamydia – one of the most common STDs among sexually active students.

less stress? better grades? less sickness? better mood?

Male Condoms 101 Here are the answers to some of your most commonly asked questions about male condoms: Is using two condoms bad?

Yes. “Double bagging” does not provide double protection. In fact, using two condoms at one time causes friction which may cause condoms to rip and tear. Keep it simple and effective and use one condom with one penis.

What is the best brand of condom?

All condoms, regardless of brand, are regulated by the FDA and go through rigorous quality control testing during each step of manufacturing to ensure that they are safe and effective. The brand of condom, as with any product, is usually chosen based on marketing, hearsay, and personal preference.

Is pulling out as effective as using a condom?

No. Condoms are 82-98% effective at preventing pregnancy and provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The withdrawal method is 78-96% effective in preventing pregnancy

but does not provide STI protection.

The range of effectiveness rates represents typical to perfect use.

Is there such a thing as a one size fits all condom?

Penises come in different sizes and so do condoms. Contrary to popular belief, condom sizes are based on the circumference or girth of the penis, not the length.

There are generally three different condom sizes: snug fit, regular, and magnum. It’s important to get the correct size because condoms that are too tight can break and restrict blood supply to the penis; condoms that are too big can slip off during intercourse. There should be a little bit of extra space at the tip for ejaculate.

Where can I get free condoms?

At Free Condom Friday which happens every Friday from 12-2pm on the 3rd floor of UA Campus Health in Health Promotion and Preventive Services.

Getting enough sleep each night improves ability to manage stress, boosts the immune system, sharpens concentration and memory for studying, and enhances overall physical and emotional health.

tips for better sleep • Keep regular waking & bedtime hours • Engage in regular physical activity • Get 7-9 hours each night • Don’t check phone while “asleep” • Set an alarm to go to bed • Keep naps 30 minutes or less

SPORTS | HOCKEY PROFILE

CIURRO SAVES THE DAY, EVERY DAY

BY MAURY URCADEZ @maurcadez

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s Arizona’s hockey goaltender Anthony Ciurro saving the day.

The No. 16-ranked UA hockey team faced its arch rival, No. 25 ASU Sun Devils, on Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1 in the Tucson Convention Center. The Wildcats came out on top in both games with dominant performances, winning 3-0 Friday and 4-0 Saturday.

Most hockey players can agree that goaltending is the hardest position on the ice. Their performance can highly impact the outcome of the game. A great goalie must stay mentally engaged the whole time, because one mistake can cost a game.

Ciurro did not once check out of these two matches. He had 44 saves and zero goals against. After defeating the Sun Devils over the weekend, the Peoria, Ariz., native now has recorded three shut outs and 328 saves this season.

“Coming in, you want a shut-out every game,” he said.

“Especially for me. I’m competitive, and I don’t like being scored on.”

Last time the UA played ASU at home in September, the scores were 2-1 and 4-2 in favor of Arizona. This time, Ciurro challenged himself to not let ASU score on him three times. For Ciurro, when you set goals, you can achieve them.

It’s been two months since the ‘Cats have faced their rivals are home. What changed since then?

“We’ve had a lot more practices,” Ciurro said. “We came in prepared, and the boys took care of business.”

Every time Ciurro made a save, the fans cheered and so did his teammates. Captain Anthony Cusanelli, who had a total of three goals in the two games, expressed how comfortable he feels having a goaltender like Ciurro to protect their net.

“I can’t say enough about him. He’s been unreal for us,” Cusanelli said. “Three straight games, no goals against, you can’t ask for more. I’m super proud of him, and I thought he’s been awesome for us so far.”

According to the American Collegiate Hockey Association, before playing his two games against ASU, Ciurro was ranked third on the goalie leaders list. Ciurro had consistently competed in 13 matches for the ‘Cats this season and added another two matches after the weekend.

As a freshman in 2018, Ciurro was named a finalist for the ACHA All-Rookie Goalie Award. That year he had a great season and went on to be a starter at the national tournament.

He was named to the All-Tournament Team - Honorable Mention.

Ciurro attended Centennial High School and played with the Victoria Cougars of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. He was given an impressive amount of recognition then and had the best save percentage three years in a row.

In his last year playing for the Cougars, he won a VIJHL Championship over the Campbell River Storm 6-3 in game six.

Head coach Chad Berman has been aware of the potential Ciurro had since he recruited him.

“This kid is a gamer, the bigger the game the better he plays,” Berman said. “We gotta get this kid. We bugged him ever since, and boy, am I glad we’ve got him.”

The UA will take a month off before facing GCU on Friday, Jan. 4 in the TCC. “We’ll try to get on the ice as much as we can, but sometimes ice is scarce, so working out and trying to stay in shape and be ready to come back against GCU,” Ciurro said.

STAR DUO HELPS ‘CATS HOT START

BY NOAH AUCLAIR @NoahAuclair_DW

With just four non-conference games left to play, Arizona women’s basketball is exceeding expectations after last season’s disappointing 6-24 campaign.

Last year, the Wildcats were 2-5 through their first seven non-conference games. This year, however, the ‘Cats are 6-1, coming off a big win against San Diego State University, who beat them last year.

There are two glaring reasons for Arizona’s success thus far. One is the play of redshirt sophomore Aari McDonald, and the other is the play of freshman Cate Reese.

McDonald, who transferred from the University of Washington after her freshman year and was actually recruited by then-UW assistant coach and current Arizona head coach Adia Barnes, has had a stellar season.

She is currently second in the nation in points per game, averaging 26.6, just behind the nation’s best 26.7 mark.

The redshirt sophomore set her career high in points in a losing effort against Loyola-Marymount on Nov. 13, a game in which she had 39, while also adding eight rebounds and three steals.

McDonald was named Pac-12 Player of the Week on Nov. 19 for her performance in the Bank of Hawaii Classic, becoming the first Arizona player to receive the honor since 2015, when Candice Warthen won the award.

In the win against San Diego State on Dec. 2, McDonald earned 29 points,

adding nine rebounds and a season-high four steals. Even with the high scoring numbers, Barnes lauded McDonald’s unselfishness.

“She’s not the type of player that looks for hers,” Barnes said. “She’s just so gifted, and a lot of the time when stuff breaks down, she’s able to get to the basket.”

Another big reason for the Wildcats’ success is freshman Cate Reese. The

highest-ranked prospect in program history, Reece has lived up to the lofty expectations.

The 6-foot-2 forward is just shy of averaging a double-double, with 15.4 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game.

She has three double-doubles on the season, including a 19-point and 16-rebound game against South Carolina State. Her 15.4 points per game lead all the

Pac-12 freshman.

“She’s just so aggressive, confident. She doesn’t hold back,” Barnes said of her freshman. “Those are the things you can’t teach, and she brings that.”

While the 6-1 start is certainly encouraging, there are a few issues the team will have to address before Pac-12 play starts at the end of the month.

One area the Wildcats need to improve on is their 3-point shooting. The ‘Cats are currently shooting 32 percent from behind the arc. Their best three point shooter, junior Lucia Alonso, is 15-36 on the season from three, shooting under 50 percent in four of the seven contests.

It helps that defensively, from three point land, Arizona has held its opponents to shooting 34-125, or 27 percent.

So, while the ‘Cats aren’t hitting deep shots on a consistent basis, they aren’t allowing a 3-point barrage on the other end.

Another thing that the Wildcats have done particularly well over the course of the first seven games is their free throw percentage, which currently sits at 75 percent.

They have gotten to the line 121 times on the season, a majority of those coming from McDonald and Reese, who have combined for 85 of those attempts, and are shooting 83 percent and 88 percent from the line, respectively.

The Wildcats still have a lot to prepare for as they get ready for perhaps the toughest conference in the country, with five teams in the top 25.

If the ‘Cats keep up their strong play, they find might themselves among those teams.

MILLER IS DONE HOLDING BACK

BY DAVID SKINNER @Davidwskinner_

Not one, not two, not three, but four.

Arizona head basketball coach Sean Miller took a page out of LeBron James’ book as he addressed and broke down his top-ranked 2019 recruiting class to the local media during his press conference on Nov. 27.

When asked about his fifth and most recent commit Zeke Nnaji, ranked as the No. 8 power forward in his class, who has yet to sign his National Letter of Intent.

Miller laid out the four NLIs Arizona has received, simultaneously refusing to talk about the player while also letting the local and national media members know he isn’t

going anywhere anytime soon.

After months of turmoil, controversies, overhauls and uncertainty surrounding the program, Miller and his new staff seem to not only have outlasted the FBI-led storm, but to have stood on the edge of their leaking vessel, stared the storm in the face and whispered something to the effect of “we are the storm.”

“The moments you have in sports, I would say this is No. 1 on my list,” Miller said in his opening statement. “Going back to April, late March, the coaching staff we have here at Arizona in essence brought 11 players to our program in a seven-month window. That’s really hard to do, especially in climbing the mountain of adversity that we’ve sort of been responsible for climbing.”

In just the last couple of months, Miller has gone head to head with, and beaten, Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Kansas and UCLA in recruiting battles for three top-40 recruits in the 2019 class.

Miller and his staff walked into every living room over the past few months with a cloud of negativity, and they have not only convinced players and parents that Arizona will be fine, they have also managed to persuade some of the most popular and influential players in the nation to commit their futures to the Wildcats.

It’s completely changing the outlook on a program in dire straits just six months ago.

“I’m certainly elated to be able to welcome the class that we have,” Miller said. “Today is very, very gratifying, because only a few of us

know how hard the work was.”

Miller also took time to break down and elaborate on his new signings and what they are going to bring to the Old Pueblo. From the coach himself: Miller on Christian Koloko (No. 166-overall recruit in the 2019 class, according to 24/7 Sports): “Last year he played high school basketball with Devonaire Doutrive. We saw Christian play when we watched Devonaire in high school and we made him a priority from day one. He’s got great hands. He started playing basketball in middle school.

He’s an international student that comes from

a great family. I think the best is yet to come for him.”

“His ability to catch the ball, his work ethic, his unselfish manner gives you somebody that can play the center position in the way the game is played today. He’s the furthest thing from just a plodder or a seven-foot project. His mobility on offense and defensive might be his greatest gift.”

Miller on Terry Armstrong (No. 58 overall recruit in the 2019 class, according to 24/7 Sports): “Terry brings a kind of toughness to our program that all of us would love to have as coaches. He also has great size for a wing and guard. It’s not that he has one thing that he does well; it’s the versatility, I think, that jumps off the page when you watch him.”

“He’s in a program right now that’s playing against the best competition in America at the high school level. I’m anxious for him to have a great senior year. I think he’ll be able to come in and affect our program right away.”

Miller on Josh Green (No. 11 overall recruit in the 2019 class, according to 24/7 Sports): “Josh is somebody that we started recruiting many years ago. Josh can play,

really, either wing spot. I think his shot is really developing; that’s probably the thing that’s happened the most for him the last four or five months, even though he had shoulder surgery.”

“Just watching him shoot the ball, he’s really on a great track. I say that because everything else is really in place. He has a 6-foot-11 wingspan. He’s physically strong right now, he has a chance to be an excellent defensive player.”

Miller on Nico Mannion (No. 14 overall recruit in the 2019 class, according to 24/7 Sports): “Nico is somebody that walks in the door with great size and athleticism and, I think, a complete and total understanding of how to play the position. I wouldn’t consider him just a pass-first point guard.

I would call him an all-everything point guard. He can score in transition, but he also knows how to get others involved.”

“I give Nico a lot of credit, because he was the first to jump on board. True to being a great point guard, you lead from the front both on offense and defense, but oftentimes you lead off the court as well. He paved the way for others to join him. Josh Green and him are great friends because they play on the summer circuit together.”

OPINIONS | THE BORDER

Correspondent view: Migrant caravan stalled at border COLUMN

CONTRIBUTED BY SASHA HARTZELL

O

n Sunday, November 25, the United States temporarily closed the border crossing between San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico. In what President Trump called an invasion, over 6,000 immigrants are living in makeshift tents just a couple miles south of the border. For two weeks, groups of a migrant caravan from Honduras have been arriving in Tijuana on the way to the U.S. On Friday, November 23, the mayor of Tijuana declared a humanitarian crisis, appealing to the United Nations for help.

The migrants’ stay in the city looks to be indefinite, resources are running low and tensions are high. Almost daily, protesters have filled the streets surrounding Deportiva Benito Juarez, the sports complex converted into a temporary shelter for the migrants, echoing sentiments similar to Trump’s: The migrant caravan is a dangerous invasion and the Mexican government should help Mexicans first.

After the first night, when violence erupted between protesters and caravan members, the Tijuana police took to barricading the block surrounding the shelter.

One policeman in the blockade, Eduardo Volverde, said the protesters fear that the Hondurans won’t be granted entry into the U.S. and will stay in Tijuana indefinitely.

“They think they are all delinquents, that

they are going to cause problems in the city,” said Volvere as he stood between protesters and migrants. “Many came, and the city is not prepared to have so many people.”

The Tijuana Police have taken the situation largely into their hands. To pass the police barricade, one needs an orange wristband signaling they’ve been granted access or are part of the caravan.

Others must first fill out forms stating their purpose and wait for approval, according to volunteers. Inside the blockade, in the streets just surrounding the sports complex, a couple hundred migrants mill around amidst a heavy police and journalist presence.

Kyle Samuels, a U.S. veteran who has been traveling with the caravan since Mexico City, passed out sandwiches near the entrance of the complex. Men, women and children formed a tight circle around him, hands outstretched. Some asked for an extra sandwich to bring to their family locked inside, a measure the police have been taking in the name of protecting the migrants. As the food quickly ran out, many hands were left empty.

Two blocks away, a group rallied against the protesters in support of the caravan.

“They walked 8,000 miles, now they’re here. People from outside of the city, they came here, and they want to kick them out,” said Rene Vazquez, a Tijuana resident.

“Not us. The locals here, we are with the poor people, ok?” Vazquez and his friends were waiting for the protesters to clear out so they could bring food to the migrants.

He said most of the anti-caravaners didn’t live in the city but had come from towns

like Rosarito, 20 kilometers away.

Though the protests have reached a crescendo in Tijuana, they are not the first the caravan has faced since departing San Pedro Sula, Honduras, two months ago. “It’s the same as in every other country we’ve passed,” said Ryena Isabel Sagastume, a 30 year old Honduran woman who joined the caravan near Santa Bárbara. “There’s good people, but there’s also bad people that aren’t welcoming with us. Sometimes they make a mess here and insult us, tell us that they don’t want us here,” she said.

Much of the rhetoric against the migrants seems to come straight from the Trump administration’s campaign against them.

In the weeks before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, Trump’s team launched a media attack on the caravan in what some saw as an election strategy for Republicans.

Via his Twitter page, the president used the migrants to bash Democrats with tweets such as, “ … blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms!”

Through other tweets, speeches and commercials, Trump’s team has portrayed the caravan as a dangerous invasion, putting pressure on the Mexican government not to let them reach the U.S. “It was a show for Trump’s political base,” said Juan-Carlos Barrón Pastor, a head researcher at the Center for Investigations of North America based in Mexico City.

Although Mexico tends to have cultural sympathy for immigrants, Barrón said, the negative migrant representation in the U.S. is reflected in the country; many Mexicans are adopting an anti-immigration stance.

“It has reproduced the same reaction,” he said, “of ‘no, we don’t want migrants, they will take our jobs.’”

When the caravan crossed from Guatemala into Mexico, clashing with police at the border, one Honduran man was killed, and many more injured. The Mexican police, being filmed live by media channels from around the world, then stood down. “Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States,” Trump tweeted in response. “Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency.”

So far, almost 6,000 U.S. troops have been deployed to the border, for whom the White House has approved usage of lethal force. Samuels said he felt bad for these military personnel and called their deployment a cowardly overuse of force.

“They’re trying to serve and protect the country, and what they’re being asked to do is technically border security.”

Trump is trying to portray it as an invasion, he said, but it’s just

A FRENCH ACTIVIST, GOING by the name Sinbad , defends members of the Central American migrant caravan against a group of protesters in Tijuana, Mexico. Sinbad, who has been traveling with the caravan for weeks, said he filmed much of the voyage to spread awareness and fundraise to help provide food and supplies.

fear-mongering.

“The president of the U.S. says that we are criminals, but we’re not all criminals.

There’s also good people, hardworking people, and it’s not fair that for some bad people everybody pays the price,” Sagastume said. Most in the caravan are fleeing either extreme poverty or gang violence; Sagastume left her town in Honduras after the gang MS-13 approached her while she was working, selling phones and perfumes on the street.

“When they saw me selling, they told me I had to sell drugs with them or they would kill me,” she said, adding they demanded she “be their woman.” Choosing to leave her children with her mother and husband rather than subject them to the dangers of the voyage, Sagastume left alone. “I’m afraid of returning to Honduras. If I return and don’t sell drugs, they will kill me.”

On her phone, she keeps photos of all the women found dead in her town, murdered

by MS-13.

Her friend, Angela Yamilet from Olancho, Honduras, made the trip to Tijuana with her husband and three children. They left their town because there was no work. They couldn’t afford a place to live or education for their children.

For her, Tijuana has been the best part of the trip despite the protests. “It’s better than anything I’ve had,” she said. “I’d like to stay and work here for a while.”

While officials in Mexico and the U.S. grapple with short-term solutions, the cause of migration remains largely

unaddressed. “When you don’t have opportunities in your own country, you look for them in other countries,” Volverde said.

For many of the thousands stalemated in Tijuana, returning to their homes is not an option. While violence, poverty and exploitation rule their countries, deporting them would be akin to sweeping a dirt floor; more will continue to seek better lives in the U.S., walking thousands of miles, hitching rides in livestock trucks and relying on the humanity of strangers.

“This road is very difficult. Some have died, and also children,” Sagastume said.

“A lot has happened, a lot of pain we’ve suffered on our way, but we’ve continued.”

On Nov 25, U.S. forces shot tear gas into a group of migrant protesters who were walking towards the border fence, several of whom were reportedly attempting to breach it. Women and children were in the group under fire, and 500 are now facing deportation, accused of attempting to enter the U.S. illegally and violently.

Interviews were translated by Leonel Morales, a student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, a UA partner school.

— Sasha Hartzell is a UA student currently living in Mexico. This is her account of the migrant caravan’s passage through Northern Mexico.
