Annual book festival is back The Daily Wildcat

Those vacant, white tents that cover the majority of UA will soon fill up with authors, sponsors and exhibitors promoting their works and businesses at the eighth annual Tucson Festival of Books.

This two-day event will take place Saturday and Sunday on the UA Mall, as well as other specific venues like the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center, Student Union Memorial Center ballrooms, the Henry Koffler building and many more that will hold panels. Visitors will come both to support their favorite authors and in search of their next favorite writer.

“There are going to be local authors at the book fair that I am eager to meet,” said journalism freshman Kyana Ray Robles.

While Robles anticipates the coming festival, the fact that it takes place during spring break isn’t exactly a good thing for outof-state Wildcats.

“There are so many things that aren’t just about books, like organizations that show up, which is why I am upset I’ll be missing it for the fourth year in a row,” said biology senior Andrew Russell-Cheung.

Writers from Nevada, Michigan, New York and Tucson who have won honors in the literary awards—that the festival sponsors—will appear at the festival this weekend.

The Daily Wildcat is always interested in story ideas and tips from readers. If you see something deserving of coverage, contact news editors Sam Gross and Lauren Renteria at news@dailywildcat.com or call 621-3193.

Chefs and food stands also take up a big part of the festival. Chefauthors, like Margarita Carrillo Arronte, will promote their cookbooks and cuisines. Arronte specializes in Mexican cuisine and is admired in the culinary world for her unique spin on popular Mexican food recipes.

Learning about food from detailed cookbooks always incites hunger, a reason why the festival includes an array of familiar food trucks to fill you with energy after a long day of learning. Local favorites that you will find at the festival include Beyond Bread, Eegee’s, Frost Gelato and Tucson Tamale Company.

‘Kite Runner’ belongs in classics pantheon

BY Vicky Pereira The Daily Wildcat

Modern Classics is a series in which writers argue for one of their favorite contemporary books that deserves an induction into the pantheon of literary classics What makes a book a classic?

Authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Shakespeare and Harper Lee were able to find the answer to that question and join the exclusive club of writers in the hall of literary classics. Maybe it was the timelessness of their stories, their eloquent uses of language or some ineffable element that resulted in their inductions to the classics club.

Whatever the reason, works by these authors and a handful of others are regarded as some of the best novels ever written. They’re taught in high school classrooms across the country and are still referenced today.

These books are the ones that stay with the reader long after the last words are read, with protagonists who feel like close friends and fictional settings that feel familiar enough to plan a visit to.

Novels with symbolism and diction that are carefully pondered over, where impactful scenes make the reader feel emotion simply from their words.

It’s a tall order to be a classic novel and a glance at the list shows how rare it is for

contemporary books to find spots on it. While it’s wonderful to keep these incredible, older works in the public vernacular for years to come, the list could use a facelift and add in a few modern classics.

First item on the list: “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini.

Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and moved with his family to California at the age of 15. Hosseini draws heavily upon experiences from his youth and his AfghanAmerican heritage in his writing. All three of his novels feature an Afghan protagonist and take place, at least partially, in his native country.

All three of his books have received immense praise, but “The Kite Runner” is his first and is most deserving of the title of a modern classic.

The story is about Amir, a Pashtun boy who craves his father’s affection, and his father’s child servant Hassan, who is like a brother to Amir. Told from Amir’s perspective, the book follows him through his complicated relationships with his father and Hassan, his journey to America and the struggles he must confront because of the mistakes of his past.

Hosseini’s novel is well-written and utilizes beautiful diction and detailed symbolism that enhance the story. Yet, the characters are what make this book a modern classic.

While Amir’s life is unique and his experiences aren’t always things that a reader may have undergone, the insecurities with

which he suffers throughout the novel are universally relatable.

Anyone who has ever experienced jealousy or a desire for love and attention from another can understand the inner struggles of Amir and can relate to the self-doubt and conflicting emotions caused by his mistakes.

Amir is a protagonist who is far from perfect and there are times in the novel where a reader will be justifiably frustrated by Amir’s actions. This imperfection makes Amir relatable and his story classic.

No matter what a person’s background, where they live, what language they speak or how old they are, no one is perfect.

Hosseini’s book tells the specific story of one Afghan-American’s life, relationships and inner conflicts while dictating the universal story of the human desire to be loved and accepted despite imperfection. If this novel isn’t a modern classic, nothing is.

Tucson Top 5: Best book nooks in the city

BY JONATHAN TERRY The Daily Wildcat

It’s not uncommon to walk in to a Tucson bookstore looking for a piece of fiction and to leave with an acoustic guitar and a vegan cookbook. Tucson’s entrepreneurial mindset makes it home to a unique spread of bookstores.

These bookstores range from the antique and out-of-print rarities found at The Book Stop to the newer, more academic works found at the UA Bookstore. This list is in no particular order, as each of these shops offers it’s own unique set of features that defy categorization.

1. Mostly Books Mostly Books is found on the Southwest corner of Speedway Boulevard and Wilmot Road. The store regularly host writers workshops, book clubs and even an adult coloring hour. Its busy calendar and overall

cordiality has turned it into the Eastside reader’s Athens. Mostly Books offers a large variety of both new and used books, and dabbles in gifts and novelty merchandise.

It even offers a rotating collection of signed books for sale.

2. Antigone Books Antigone Books is a Fourth Avenue book shop reminiscent of a mini Barnes & Noble, as this cozy shop offers books and novelty items for all ages. The store is conveniently located next to the coffee shop and bar Cafe Passe, making it the perfect place to grab a coffee and relax with a good book.

Antigone also holds regular book clubs and occasional book readings. What really sets it apart is its promotion of local authors and businesses. Antigone partners with The Loft Cinema, offering monthly discounts on books that accompany selected screenings.

‘A big optimist about the future of journalism’ speaks about his process

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

The Daily Wildcat spoke with New York Times sports reporter John Branch, who will serve as a panelist at this weekend’s Tucson Festival of Books.

Branch was awarded the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for his piece titled “Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek.” Branch released his first book “Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard” in 2014.

The Daily Wildcat: What made you want to come out to Tucson and be a panelist for the Tucson Festival of Books?

John Branch: It sounds like a great festival. It’s a chance for me to see, meet and hear from other authors and I’m always glad to talk about my book if people are interested.

Where did the idea for your book come from and how did you go about publishing it?

The idea came from a three-part newspaper series that I wrote about Derek Boogaard, the hockey enforcer, who overdosed at the age of 28 in the middle of his career. When the series of stories ran a couple of years ago, I had a lot of material left over that I thought would be a shame to lose and never see the light of day. I had interest from publishers to explore the topic a bit further and that combination was just too much to pass up, so I ventured off into book writing for the first time.

What was the transition like going from reporter to author?

It’s hard. I walk into bookstores and I look at all the books that people have written and I say to myself, “Who are you, people?” because I don’t know who these people are that can write books and be so prolific at it. It’s hard, it’s daunting, it’s different than what I do for the New York Times, in which I typically will learn about a subject for a few hours or a few days and then write about it and move onto something else. To write a book is to really live with the subject for a long time. My nine-to-five job as a reporter is a lot simpler in many ways than trying

to become a book author. It’s made me more compassionate toward authors and the work that they do.

Out of all the sports you have covered over the years, what is your favorite event you have attended?

The older I get, the more I appreciate sports that are out of the mainstream.

I really appreciate reporting on events that nobody else is reporting on. I like opening up audiences that they wouldn’t otherwise know about if I hadn’t been there. I was just talking this morning about the Dawn Wall Climb at Yosemite last year and it was a story that I wrote back in January and hours after us writing about it and putting it on the front page of the New York Times, it became an international sensation and suddenly there were millions of people paying attention to this climb. I like being a part of something that nobody else is part of, but also pulling back the curtain for our readers to see.

What would you tell college students trying to pursue a journalism career similar to you?

I’m a big optimist about the future of journalism, which puts me in the minority, I think. There will always be a place for good, non-fiction, investigative, detailed storytelling. What scares people is that we don’t know exactly what that form will look like. It might not be print newspapers, but there will always be a place for people to go to read these kinds of things. It’s hugely important in our democracy and hugely important for our culture to support non-fiction storytelling. It’s how we capture real life. My advice to young people who are thinking about this career and maybe have parents that say “Don’t do that,” is if you are passionate about it and you believe you have the talent to do it, definitely get into it and you will find your way. The scary part is there’s no clear path at the moment, but those paths will continue to emerge.

Behind the scenes of the Tucson Festival of Books set-up. Crews have been setting up for the festival for the past two weeks in preparation for the two-day event.

Behind the magic that makes the TFOB The Tucson Festival of Books is a constant work in progress and no easy undertaking, from logistical challenges to setting up hundreds of tents

BY Leah Merrall The Daily Wildcat

The setup of dozens of white tents on the UA campus every March can only mean one thing: the Tucson Festival of Books is back.

These white tents may pose an inconvenience or an obstacle on the walk to class to some students. But for event organizers, the white tents mark the beginning of something much bigger—a year’s worth of hard work coming to fruition.

Planning for the event happens yearround, beginning with author selection in late spring and summer and the meeting of the operations committee once a month, every month.

Everything from mapping out where the tents go on the UA Mall to coordinating plumbing and electrical has to be meticulously planned in order for the event to run smoothly, according to Chris Kopach, assistant vice president of facilities management.

“There are all the departments within the university that work together to make

this happen—the University of Arizona and the departments working as one,” Kopach said. “And that’s probably the key: Working as one to really have a top notch, worldclass book festival, one of the largest in the country. ... It wouldn’t work if we didn’t have a great team and everybody just does an outstanding job.”

All of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes is what allows the Tucson Festival of Books to grow each year. Kopach said in its first year, around 50,000 people attended the event. Last year, there were nearly 130,000.

Despite the event’s continual growth, it has always remained free to the public.

Helene Woodhams, co-chair of the festival’s author committee, said once operating expenses are covered, the rest of the money goes to charity.

“All proceeds from the festival go to literacy initiatives in Southern Arizona,” Woodhams said. “But I think on an equally important level, we’re helping to establish Tucson in the eyes of the nation as a place where people value books and people value reading and they want to hear authors.

That’s a tremendous way for a community to be viewed.”

The Tucson Festival of Books is a reflection of the community’s growth of its love for books. Amazon.com announced the most-read cities in America in 2015 based on sales data of books, magazine and newspaper sales from April 2014 to April 2015. Tucson was ranked fourth out of the list of 20.

Woodhams said she likes the idea that this is Tucson’s image.

“When people look at your community, what do you want to see reflected?”

Woodhams said. “I like the idea that people see that we’re into books, we’re into authors, we’re into getting together and talking about it.”

The Tucson Festival of Books does more than just promote a growing appreciation of books.

Kopach said having the event on the UA campus sends a strong message to young students. On top of that, both Kopach and Woodhams said more than $1 million go to charities that promote literacy, such as the Stocker Foundation.

The Tucson economy also benefits from the event. Woodhams, who is also a librarian, said she encounters many people who say they plan their winter trips to Tucson around the festival.

“I think anything that brings people to Tucson, whether it’s the gem show or the rodeo or golf classics, if it brings people to Tucson it’s a good thing,” Woodhams said.

“It’s wonderful for the economy.”

The reoccurrence of the festival each year allows for increased event functionality on the Mall. Kopach said permanent wheelchair ramps and better electrical design have been installed. These features also help other Mall events such as Spring Fling.

The Tucson Festival of Books influences a multitude of facets of the community from growth in appreciation of books and literature to increased literacy initiatives in Southern Arizona. The festival even increases event functionality and creates jobs.

Community CHATTER. The UA is hosting a book fair this weekend, which is expected to draw in thousands of people. The tents for the book festival have been set up for over a week, though. What do you think about that?

BY ava garcia

The Daily Wildcat Karen Magana, a dietetics junior: “Today they are blocking the view, but I’ve been here for the book festival and it’s pretty cool so I don’t really mind it too much.”

Ryan Smiley, a mechanical engineering freshman: “It makes sense because it’s a lot to set up for. The biggest inconvenience with it all is just that when you’re trying to get to class, all the workers are kind of in the way, but otherwise it’s really not that big of a deal.”

Hayley Comrie, a pre-nursing freshman: “They’re a little inconvenient, but they’re nice when it’s the festival of books because then everything is shaded.”

Wai Ma, a psychology senior: “I think it’s fine. I kind of enjoy it, actually.”

Nick Pasichuke, an economics sophomore: “They get in the way a little bit, but it’s nothing bad. I honestly had no idea they were doing anything the entire time. I’m actually heading out in a few days for spring break. It didn’t really impact me too much.”

Erika Holzinger, a political science freshman: “I think they could have done it ... on Wednesday or Tuesday instead of ... the week before.

But it will probably be good for the local economy.”

Five things to look out for at Science City

BY Exene Anderson The Daily Wildcat

BIO5 and the UA College of Science is presenting the fifth annual Science City event at the Tucson Festival of Books.

There will be a variety of presentations, demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Additionally, there will be a live animal show and a tour of two UA research facilities.

“This year, Science City has grown to include over 80 participants and 10 open houses,” said Elliott Cheu, co-chair of the Science City Executive Committee and associate dean here at the UA. “A new neighborhood called ‘Science in Art’ will feature the intersection of science and art, and showcase activities such as how waves form sounds and music and producing paint from minerals. Many other hands-on activities will be available, such as forensic chemistry, the cellphone ‘germ-meter’ and food from bugs.”

Here are five things that you don’t want to miss out on this weekend: Tours of the research facilities Science City will be offering tours of UA research laboratories and open houses of various labs and libraries on campus this year.

Two of these are the Richard F. Caris

Open for Lunch

Mirror Lab and the UA Laboratory of TreeRing Research.

The Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab houses a team of scientists and engineers who create large, lightweight mirrors that are used in optical and infrared telescopes.

The UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research focuses on a multitude of research topics including geochemistry, archaeology and paleoecology, which all utilize dendrochronology, the dating and analysis of tree ring patterns. This is where the modern science of dendrochronology was established and continues to be a leading center for the advancement and application of tree ring techniques.

Tours for the mirror lab will be held at 527 National Championship Drive in room 61B every half hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. The tour of the treering lab will occur at the Bryant Bannister Tree Ring building in room 101 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Dry Ice Volcano The Department of Geosciences will be making a 3-foot-tall model volcano, made from a 55-gallon drum, which will erupt three times a day during the festival. This event has been taking place for the last several years and is something that you’ll want to check out. See the eruption at 11

a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Live Animal Show The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum will be bringing a variety of animals native to the Sonoran Desert to the festival, including a number of reptiles and insects. This event will take place at 10 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday in Science City on the Science Stage.

Science speakers There will be a number of science speakers covering various topics over the weekend in Science City on the Science Stage.

These talks will include biodiversity at 11:30 a.m., climate change at 1 p.m., space exploration and new frontiers at 2:30 p.m. and science careers at 4 p.m on Saturday.

There are several speakers on Sunday as well, covering topics such as the science of Shakespeare at 1 p.m. and the solar system at 2:30 p.m.

Learn about volcanoes with dry ice BY maddie pickins The Daily Wildcat

One of Tucson’s classic attractions, the annual Festival of the Books, is known for working closely with UA departments to form community outreach opportunities. Science City is one of these outreach opportunities. In fact, it is the largest science event held in the state.

Science City is broken into neighborhoods: exploring science in art, food, everyday life, the natural world, the science of tomorrow and the science of you. It houses departments ranging from the UA Physics Department to the Department of Geosciences.

The geosciences department in particular runs a demonstration that is of interest to anyone looking to learn more about volcanoes or anyone who wants to look at a cool explosion. This demonstration includes a model volcano that erupts using the power of liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen volcano is a project that the geosciences department has run for several years.

Shelby Rader, a geoscience graduate student and the coordinator of the project, elaborated on some of the logistics of the volcano. It is constructed out of a 55-gallon drum that is about 3-feet tall and is filled almost all the way with about 40 gallons of water, according to Rader.

Liquid nitrogen is put in a 2-liter bottle,

A demonstration of a previous year’s dry ice volcano at the Tucson Festival of Books.

which is then placed in a metal cage to weight the bottle. When the bottle is dropped into the drum, pressure builds up and eventually rips the bottle, blowing the water up to 40 feet in the air and mimicking a volcanic explosion.

The boiling temperature of liquid nitrogen is around negative 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

Its expansion ratio is large, meaning that when it boils, the gas expands to fill a space quickly. If the gas is contained, it can result in an explosion like the one seen in the volcano demonstration.

“There’s a 15 or 20-second lag time,” Rader said. “It’s long enough that most people don’t

think anything is going to happen and then the water goes way higher than they are expecting it to.”

The water from the blast can be carried anywhere from 50-70 feet downwind and the energy from the explosion can lift the barrel up to three feet on a windy day.

The scale of the explosion isn’t the only way that the department educates participants about how volcanoes work. Other things are put inside the drum to represent the various materials present in a volcanic eruption, according to Rader.

Styrofoam packing peanuts, for example, are used to represent ash, tennis balls represent chunks of rock and plastic eggs stand for the more porous rock that is found in an eruption.

“I, personally, am biased. I love the volcano,” Rader said. “Obviously you can’t see a real volcano in Tucson, but our goal is to give experience with how a volcano works in any way we can.”

Visitors can see the volcano erupt at 11 p.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., Saturday and Sunday in the Science of the Natural World neighborhood of Science City. In addition, there will be other forms of outreach available from the department, such as a mock dinosaur dig and a stream table.

UA alumna talks ‘Networking for Nerds’ BY pearl lam

The Daily Wildcat

Alaina Levine is a UA alumna and author of the bestselling guide “Networking for Nerds.” A speaker, entrepreneur and corporate comedian, Levine graduated in 1996 with a degree in mathematics and again in 1997 with a degree in anthropology. Though she planned to become a mathematics professor, Levine became director of communications for the UA Physics Department right out of college, an achievement owed to her constant networking with UA faculty during her time as an undergraduate. Since then, opportunities came one after the other, leading to the success she expounds on today. With this book, Levine guides readers, particularly students in STEM fields, on how to network as a means to embarking on a successful career.

Levine is scheduled to talk on the Science Stage at the Tucson Festival of Books on Saturday at 4 p.m. about “finding your niche in nature.”

The Daily Wildcat: Why did you write “Networking for Nerds”?

Alaina Levine: I wrote this book because nowhere in my mathematics education did any professor ever tell me that I needed to network to find a job, or that I needed to network to get access to hidden jobs or hidden career opportunities. This is unlike business students who, on the very first day of business school at Eller [sic], learn how to network, market themselves and self-promote appropriately. But we don’t talk about that in STEM. Throughout my career, I realize that many of the career opportunities that I was able to find and land were all a result of networking.

With this book, I wanted to share what I had learned as a networker with people were never taught to network or know what it is.

What is networking?

Many think networking is schmoozing, or a dishonorable activity where you are trying to mind the other person’s brain for a job, but that’s not true. Networking is actually the most honorable endeavor you could do because it is about building win-win partnerships with another party. So the definition of networking is simply: a spectrum of activities that begin with that first point of contact and aimed for a mutually beneficial alliance in which we are both providing value to each other in various forms over time. And it ends when one or both of us drops dead. That’s networking.

Networking asks questions such as, “What can I do for you?” “How can I contribute value to your team?” “How can I inject new solutions or innovations into your organization?” and

then “How can I solve your problem?” In a novel way, networking is very honorable and actually inherent to every profession. But particularly to science, engineering and math students, you need the networking so you can find new collaborators and new advances for your career.

What would you, if you could, add to this book?

If I had anything else to add, it would be to make it clear that this book is for any profession. While the book “Networking for Nerds” contains examples and case studies specifically for ‘nerds’ of STEM, the topics, examples, tactics and strategies are relevant to any profession. Yes, I am a science writer, but among many things. The skills I used to land assignments with editors were [like] the skills that I use a professional speaker, or as a corporate comedian or as an entrepreneur.

What do you have to say for STEM students?

I’ll begin with a story. As I was getting ready to graduate in 1996, I expected to be a professor in mathematics.

I had a romanticized view of this. I envision myself at a university, or a think tank, where I would be surrounded by intellectuals talking about Knot Theory and formulas, and things of that nature. But suddenly, in 1996, the economy changed.

There were jobs all over the place and I was recruited by Intel from the UA Career Fair.

And even though I didn’t take the job, I started to realize that my background in mathematics is prized by companies.

And this is what I want science, technology, engineering and mathematics students to know: You are prized and coveted by many, many different industries and companies, not just for your technological skills, but for your ability to solve problems from the ground up, to work in teams, to be a leader and to have communication skills. They want all the skills that we get as scientists, but aren’t necessarily told although gained innately just because of what we are studying. You need to be aware of this advantage.

My career and my success as an entrepreneur, speaker, career consultant and comedian all [comes] back to the education and experiences at the UA. So apply for the fellowships, apply for the awards, take a leadership opportunity, write a column for the Wildcat, do anything you can. Take advantage of every single opportunity because each one leads to another one.

‘Something that kids dream about’: Wildcats’ senior duo

BY MATT WALL

SPORTS

March 11-13, 2016 • Page 15

The Daily Wildcat

Before every tipoff in McKale Center, Arizona men’s basketball 7-foot center Kaleb Tarczewski lowers his head toward 6-foot-3 guard Gabe York and screams, “Let’s go.”

York and Tarczewski, two of the five graduating seniors this season, did the unthinkable in the world of college basketball.

The duo stayed for four years at the same university and will each graduate with a college degree.

With so many Wildcats taking their talents to the next level over the past few seasons, it’s out of the ordinary that Tarczewski and York have held on for the entire ride.

“When you look at a four-year window of time, when you are the all-time winningest player in Arizona history, you’ve been involved in some amazing moments,” head coach Sean Miller said of Tarczewski. “You are comparing these four years to some great times. In Kaleb’s case, he’s really been a starter since day one.”

Tarczewski has amassed 110 career victories to become the winningest player in Arizona program history. He was selected for a spot on the second team All-Pac-12 and the Pac-12 AllDefensive team this season.

Before the Pac-12 Conference Tournament started, Tarczewski managed to rank in the top 10 in UA history in five different statistics including wins, games played, games started, rebounds and blocks, according to Arizona Athletics.

York, on the other hand, had a rough start at Arizona. Instead of transferring, he honored Miller’s process and saved the Wildcats multiple times this season. When he plays well, Arizona plays well.

“When you are one of the best players, you get blamed for a lot of things,” Miller said. “He’s learned through that. I can’t tell you how many positive things I can say about this group and, as a fan, you should feel tremendously comfortable with them. They are going to go on and do some great things.”

SYDNEY RICHARDSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

GABE YORK 1 and Kaleb Tarczewski (35) share a smile while playing against California in McKale Center on Saturday, March 5. The two will look to finish their collegiate careers on a high note in March.

York evolved during his time in an Arizona uniform, even just from last season. York has confidence in his shot, nobody can doubt that; but maybe his confidence started to drain earlier in the season when he turned the ball over or missed potential game winning shots.

Then, York caught the ball with less than 25 seconds to go and hit the shot of his life against California in his second-to-last game in McKale Center. During the next game against Stanford, he hit nine more big shots just like it.

If you search the name Gabe York on YouTube, the first video that pops up is from three years ago and has more than 1 million views. The video features York as a senior at Orange Lutheran High

School, hitting stepback jumpers and showboating dunks.

York’s transition as a college freshman did not go as he may have hoped. He finished his freshman season averaging just over three minutes per game.

“It’s been a long journey, something that kids dream about,” York said. “For me, going through what I did freshman year and sticking it out, it couldn’t have ended any better.”

Few can comprehend York’s struggles throughout his Arizona career.

York and his mother were involved in a car accident in 2012, in which first responders were shocked to see anybody live, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

York said back in 2012 how much he learned from the incident and continues to grow from it.

His moment pounding his fist center-court in McKale Center and kissing the floor as he walked off one final time will remain in his mind for years to come.

The scene has almost become a tradition, as T.J. McConnell did it last season.

For York and Tarczewski, there is still more to come, even if the end for their being in Arizona uniforms is near. The duo can only keep playing hard and put it all on the line if Arizona is to reach its goal.

Second-half struggles could cost ‘Cats BY justin spears

A

The Daily Wildcat

similar theme arose as the No. 4-seed Arizona Wildcats received a late game scare against the No. 5-seed Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday afternoon at the Pac-12 Tournament.

Yes, the Wildcats prevailed 82-78 and knocked off a team that recently beat them.

Usually, that would sound like a confidence booster in postseason play. But in this case, it wasn’t.

Instead, Arizona succumbed to another tale of two halves in which it couldn’t string together enough consistent basketball to win in the manner it could, or should, have.

A somber tone overtook the Wildcats’ locker room following the win, reflecting head coach Sean Miller’s post-game thoughts.

“Our guys certainly did not play hard,” Miller said. “They didn’t play together in the second half defensively.”

The Wildcats kicked off the first half against Colorado with vengeance by getting out to a 33-11 lead while firing on all cylinders. Gabe York was once again feeling it from deep

while Ryan Anderson was getting active early on.

Playing in front of a nearly sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena painted in cardinal red, the Wildcats found themselves sitting with a comfortable 17-point halftime advantage.

It appeared to be the final countdown in the second half for Colorado, but the Buffaloes, like any other desperate team,

ARIZONA

came out with their backs against the wall and started swinging. In a matter of minutes, the Wildcats’ precious double-digit lead was slowly slipping through their fingers. Miller doubted the mentality of the team as the minutes progressed.

“I questioned our effort whole-heartedly in the second half,” Miller said. “They shot 45 shots from the field in the second half and we

shot 17. I haven’t been a part of a game like that.”

It was Colorado on the Thursday of the Pac-12 Tournament. Next Thursday or Friday, it could be a hungry, lower seed ready to take advantage of Arizona’s mercurial play.

March is all about survival and advancing, but Arizona’s performance in the second half isn’t anything short of concerning.

“If you hold our team to the standards of the past at Arizona or you look at us as competing for this tournament’s championship, we’re not going to be able to advance and be the same team that we’ve been,” Miller said.

Miller has been relaying this message all season but apparently his team has yet to embrace it. Now is the time. Whomever the Wildcats play in the Pac-12 Tournament and into the NCAA Tournament, they’ll need to do a better job of locking down for 40 minutes.

“Look at it this way: Everything is fine and we’re in the semifinals against Oregon.

Awesome job. We advance and a lot of teams would have loved to,” Miller said. “Or you could really say our effort level has been as bad as I’ve ever seen in the last 20 minutes. I choose to focus on the second one.”

here are roughly over 60 million people living in the Southwest and many of them are evading the harsh winters up North. On the upside, the Southwest continues to grow in terms of population.

With the current water crisis though, things aren’t looking too good, both literally and figuratively.

While the UA does steady research in regard to climate change and general research on the environment, not enough political action takes place. The issue here is agendas. Climate and environment issues are regularly shuffled into a pile on some politician’s desk. It’s not affecting us too much right now, so why deal with it?

Unless something needs immediate attention, such as an act of terrorism, the issue is often deferred in politics. This shortsightedness needs to stop because it becomes our issue later.

Politicains do not understand the issues surrounding climate change. Ice caps are melting, penguins are dying en masse, scorpions are coming out earlier because of temperature rises and polar bears are invading Norway. What more should it take to begin taking this issue serious?

Climate change affects everyone everywhere, even us here in the Southwest.

We may not get hurricanes, earthquakes or tornadoes, but we do get severe monsoons, dust storms, wildfires and droughts.

“It’s easy to believe that climate change is an equal opportunity hazard, but the reality is different, with disproportionate climate impacts on low-income and minority communities,” said Margaret Wilder, associate research professor for the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy.

This is an interesting, yet unsettling, way to look at it. Yet, Wilder’s right. The reality is many of us can afford air conditioning, fans, sunscreen, access to clean water and even rain boots that you pull out once a year. We take them for granted and we’ll continue to do so until something affects us. But even then, people have shown indifference. Just look at politicians. Climate change is affecting us right now and we have the power to change it, but

we choose not to because the effects are not immediate.We will have to wait until it hits the politicians where it hurts: in their funding.

Once climate change begins to impact major Arizona industries such as agriculture, farming, technology manufacturing and tourism, we’ll see the politicians make some changes. Without people in those industries, they won’t be getting much support or funding.

While Arizona has a significant agricultural industry, it is also the most vulnerable to climate changes. Agriculture and ranching face increasing heat, drought, water shortages and pest damages that combine to reduce yields and productivity.

While agriculture may not be our biggest industry, it is the one with the most political weight. There is pressure for farmers to transfer water out of their industry into others that are willing to pay for it. Yet, that action is illegal and there are legal and institutional provisions in place against water transfer.

These provisions, however, are more of a safeguard against corporations and competing industries rather than an address of climate change.

Student government does not play integral role in everyone’s education BY rhiannon bauer The Daily Wildcat

W

hen I first heard that it was election season for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

The spring semester is a busy time for the UA’s student government. The primary elections took place mid-February and the general election concluded March 2.

In addition to election excitement, ASUA was recently involved with adjusting the proposal from Arizona Athletics to impose a $200 athletics fee on UA students.

Despite the current buzz, I still struggle to find substantial reasons to care about the happenings of ASUA. I’ve never felt a strong presence of student government in my life at the UA. I walk to class, take notes during lectures

As wonderful as it would be to attend a university that promotes diversity, equality and happiness for everyone while operating at an affordable cost to students, there are simply too many other factors to consider. No one person or organization has the power to bring about the kind of change that would shift the identity of this university. It’s great to see candidates taking admirable stances, but real change is going to take more than that.

I was initially skeptical of ASUA and the reach of the organization, but after learning more about the group, I’ve gained a newfound respect for the organization and the programs and services it’s implemented over the years. Nevertheless, student government does not play an integral role in my education. I couldn’t find it in me to take interest and vote in the election.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

UA classes should embrace culture more

T

he UA sits on the ancestral land of the Tohono O’odham. This is a fact that can be found in Southwest history textbooks and in the oral histories of the Tohono O’odham nation. Yet, when it comes to the support, encouragement and, most importantly, retention and graduation rates of O’odham students, it’s as if we don’t exist at all.

According to the UA Institutional Research website, Native Americans have the lowest graduation rates of any ethnic group at the UA. In 2010, the four-year graduation rate for Native Americans was barely above 20 percent, whereas the overall graduation rate was above 40 percent. We, as O’odham people, expect more from an institution that not only sits on our ancestral land, but is a mere 20 minutes away from one of our Districts—San Xavier district is right off Interstate 19—and one hour away from our tribal headquarters in Sells.

Though the university does not keep data on attrition rates by tribe, O’odham students have heard enough stories of tribal members leaving before graduating, whether due to financial reasons, lack of support or an unwelcoming environment, or an indifferent university that simply offers lip service about its commitment to diversity and inclusion. We are extremely concerned about the state of O’odham students at our school and why more is not being done

to help us.

There is a huge difference between talk versus action and if graduation rates are any indication, the UA is doing a lot more talk than action. The student protests that roiled college campuses across the nation last year, which caused top officials Timothy M. Wolfe and R. Bowen Lofting at the University of Missouri to resign, well-known Yale professor Erika Christakis to take a leave and the president of Ithaca College, Thomas R. Rochon, to step down effective next year, are a testament to the fact that universities are still fundamentally lacking in being welcoming and supportive for people of color.

It seems the UA is made predominantly for white students and the institution’s efforts to promote diversity have not changed this fact. It seems like they care more about avoiding the bad press that schools like Yale, University of Missouri and countless others have faced than making any real change.

Nevertheless, O’odham students and alumni have worked tirelessly on behalf of the university and will continue to do so, even though we are barely represented in the curriculum, university monuments or institutional culture. The Tohono O’odham Student Association, founded in 2008, has done outreach to two high schools on the reservation, Baboquivari High School

and Tohono O’odham High School, as well as campus tours, information booths and hosted events promoting O’odham culture on campus.

This barely scratches the surface of what could be done for the O’odham on campus, We continue to fight ceaselessly, hoping that someday the university will make a fundamental, structural change to be more inclusive of O’odham people.

For example, they must include the fact that the university sits on O’odham land on all UA promotional materials, offer a variety of classes on O’odham language, history and culture— instead of the one class on O’odham language they have now—have more than just one O’odham professor on campus, and honor the first Native American to graduate from the UA, Tohono O’odham Christine Garcia, with an arch in the Women’s Plaza of Honor.

Until that day happens, we O’odham students and alumni will have to do it ourselves. Though it most definitely is not our responsibility—it is the university’s—we will do it anyway because future O’odham Wildcats depend on it and we can’t let them down.

— Gabriela Maya Bernadett is a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation (Gu Achi District). She graduated from the UA in 2015 with a master’s degree in American Indian studies

five and a half percent of people walk to work, 12.3 percent of Burlington-area people carpool, 4.6 percent of people work from home and there are a lot of farmers’ markets and organic producers.

Overall, Vermont seems to promote a green and healthy lifestyle and it is reflected in its people, businesses and government. In comparison, Arizona’s overall rank is 18th in the U.S., with environmental quality coming in at 21st and eco-friendly behaviors also at 18th.

In order for the Southwest and the rest of the world to achieve an improved environmental future, we need to begin pushing for more stringent, environmentally green political policies in addition to reflecting them in our way of life.

We can have all the environmental policies we want, but if we don’t reflect them, we will not actually be helping.

Arizonans should follow in Vermont’s environmentally green footsteps so that we can stop leaving an intractable footprint in our environment.
