Following two student-led protests that criticized UA President Ann Weaver Hart’s commitment to campus cultural centers and the student body as a whole, Hart announced a new diversity task force late Sunday night.

The task force, created to address campus climate diversity issues, came shortly after the

newly-formed student movement known as the Marginalized Students of the University of Arizona released a nearly 20-page list of demands on March 8.

Kevyn Butler, Black Student Union copresident and leader of the MSUA protest held on March 8, previously said that cultural groups do not feel it is their job to come up with the specifics of implementing demands.

“Our jobs are to just let them know that needs

aren’t being met and that they can do more,” Butler said. “The ways in which a lot of these demands need to be implemented are based upon the people who are being paid, who are supposed to be doing these jobs; so figuring out the structure of the implementations, where the money is supposed to come from, how it’s supposed to be implemented, who oversees it, those things, those aren’t really our jobs.”

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump came out on top in yesterday’s Arizona presidentialpreference election.

Arizona, being one of the final winner-takeall primary election contests for the Republican Party, further establishes Donald Trump as the party’s front-runner. Trump, who held two rallies on Saturday in both Tucson and Fountain Hills, grabbed all 58 delegates available in Arizona— dominating the polls in a state that classically votes red with 47 percent of the vote over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who came in second with 23.5 percent of the vote. Ohio Gov. John Kasich brought up the rear of the Republican Party with 10 percent of the vote.

For Democrats, rather than having a winnertake-all race like the party across the aisle, delegates were distributed to the candidates on a proportional scale based on who received the most votes. Clinton took home 40 delegates with 59.4 percent of the vote over her opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders who took home 16 delegates at just 38 percent of the vote.

Not only did Trump and Clinton run away with the largest percentage of Arizona voters, they also ran away with winning the largest percentage of Arizona’s counties. Clinton and Trump both won every single county in Arizona with the exception of Graham County for Trump—which went to Cruz—and Coconino County for Clinton, which was won by Sanders.

Last night’s results are no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Arizona’s most recent polls.

Last week’s poll conducted by Arizona State University professor emeritus Bruce Merrill showed Clinton leading Sanders with 50 percent of Democrats saying they would vote for her, and just 24 percent saying they would support Sanders. The Republican predictions were much the same story: Trump led the poll with 31 percent over second place Cruz, who polled at 19 percent.

The next primary contests are on March 26 with the Alaska Democratic caucus, the Hawaii Democratic caucus and the Washington Democratic caucus.

All percentages and numbers in this article are at the time of press Tuesday night, with over 50 percent of precincts reporting.

diversity team from page 1

The task force, which will include representatives from the faculty senate, diversity councils, diverse alumni associations and clubs, Disability Resource Center, religious groups, Associated Students of the University of Arizona, Graduate and Professional Student Council and student cultural groups, has one notable exception: It does not include the Graduate Student Organizing Committee, according to a press release.

The GSOC led the most recent protest on March 13 in a show of support for the Marginalized Students’ movement and in protest of Hart’s recent appointment to the DeVry Education Group’s Board of Directors.

Alexander Karaman, a founding member of GSOC and organizer of the March 13 protest, said the committee had not received an invitation to join the task force.

“We’ll actually fight for real change on this campus. They’re terrified of us,” Karaman said of the administration.

While he believes strongly in the groups involved with the MSUA, Karaman said he doubts the new task force will be effective.

Current ASUA Chief of Staff and 2016-2017 President-elect Mikey Finnegan, on the other hand, was of a more hopeful opinion.

“We’ve had diversity coalitions like this before, but hopefully this is a brand

new caliber that can get things done on campus and help represent all students— marginalized students and everyone on campus,” Finnegan said.

He acknowledged that ASUA and UA cultural groups have grown distant in the past couple of years, saying it was perhaps the

most distant he’d seen over his last three years with ASUA. He shared that ASUA had reached out to the groups after the MSUA released their list of collective demands, but had not yet heard back from the groups.

Finnegan expressed excitement for where

ASUA’s relationship with cultural groups may go in the future.

“I’m very excited and I hope they are as well to sit down with us and meet with us and create a dialogue that we can talk with administration because I can definitely tell you ASUA has a great relationship with administrators,” he said. “So hopefully we can use that to our advantage.”

Stefano Saltalamacchia, a junior studying gender and women’s studies and Italian and one of this semester’s ASUA excutive vice presdential candidates, was present at the MSUA protest and has been involved with several of the cultural centers on campus.

Saltalamacchia thinks that the diversity task force was created with good intent but also hopes that the force does not try to “reinvent the wheel,” stating that MSUA has given the administration clear direction with their list of demands.

“I think, at this point, what the task force should potentially be doing is getting together with the appropriate voices of students and the appropriate bodies of the administration so that we can see how feasible all of this is,” Saltalamacchia said. “Because I think that a lot of it is just going to be appropriating funds.”

Children in rural and poor communities face a shortage of preschools due to insufficient funding and lack of access. Yet research has shown children who come from these communities benefit the most from early education programs.

“Kids who grow up in poverty tend to have a lower vocabulary and fewer experiences to be socialized in school-like settings,” said Robert Wortman, an associate professor of practice in the UA College of Education. “Kids who don’t have that experience typically are not successful in kindergarten.”

Education Week Research Center reported in 2015 that just 35.2 percent of 3- and 4-yearolds in Arizona attend preschool, ranking the state next to last in the country.

The number of children attending preschool is partially influenced by income: 64 percent of children whose household makes $100,000 are enrolled in preschool versus just 4 out of 10 whose household makes $20,000.

“I can definitely tell the difference between a student who has had some preschool experience and exposure to some of those early learning skills versus a child who comes into kindergarten without that background,” said Valerie Simon, principal of Willcox Elementary School.

A Growing Gap A study in 2013 by Stanford psychologists found that children from poorer and lesseducated families are almost two years behind on standardized language development when they enter school. The achievement gap starts as early as 18 months of age, the study found.

The tests revealed that children from higherincome families could identify pictures, such as a ball and a dog, faster than their lower-income counterparts. This somewhat small difference compounds itself to a growing achievement gap between different socioeconomic levels.

“A lot of rural communities have higher rates of poverty than other communities,” said Erin Lyons, CEO of Child Parent Centers, the nonprofit agency that oversees classroom curriculum, child development, and health and nutritional services among others for Head Start centers in southeastern Arizona. “We know that access to high-quality preschool makes a particular difference for children who are in families that are in poverty because of the additional support provided.”

The 30 Million Words Initiative, which encourages and helps parents use their words in a way that will help their child’s development, focuses its ideas around a 1995 study by Betty Hart and Todd Risley. They found that average children from welfare families hear about 30 million cumulative words less by their fourth birthday than their more affluent counterparts.

These differences in vocabulary set those children with lower literacy skills already behind their peers when entering kindergarten.

“Unfortunately the American school system is set up so that the kids who look smart faster do better in school,” Wortman said. “If it takes you a while to look smart in school, which means knowing the letters, the sounds and numbers, you’re treated differently in school.”

POLICE BEAT

BY DEVON WALO

The Daily Wildcat

Locked up A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to an assault on the south side of the Student Union Memorial Center on March 18.

Before the officer arrived, another UAPD officer, who was working an event on the UA Mall, made a request for back up.

A woman, who was grabbed by an unidentified man by the Highland Commons and Sixth Street Garage, approached the officer on the mall for help.

Two minutes after passing him, the victim heard footsteps behind her and turned around to see the man run up to her and grab her right forearm.

The man pulled her arm toward him and attempted to bite her before she was able to pull her arm out of his grip.

As the victim ran to her car parked on the south side first floor ramp, the man ran the other direction screaming to himself.

She sat in her locked car for five minutes and returned to the Student Union on foot.

She believed his attempt to bite her was only to get a reaction out of her. No one was injured.

This isn’t the only weapon in my pants A UAPD officer was called to McClelland Hall on March 18 in response to a man with a knife found in the women’s bathroom on the fourth floor.

The officer then proceeded to the site where two UAPD officers were present.

A UA staff member stopped by her office before she left to inform her of the man she encountered in the women’s bathroom.

An officer spoke with the staff member, while two other UAPD officers cleared both women’s and men’s bathrooms on the fourth floor, and restrooms on all floors were cleared.

UAPD officers encountered a man fitting the description on the south side of the building and began to question him. The man was identified as Berry Abrams, who had a knife tucked in the waistband of his pants.

He admitted to having a knife and to being in the bathroom because he wanted to scare his girlfriend when she walked through the door.

He explained the situation to the staff member’s co-worker when she saw him. He introduced himself and offered her a free meal at the Wendy’s restaurant he works at, and continually apologized to her.

Abrams told the officers the same story he told the original woman who encountered him in the bathroom, but was unable to provide any information regarding the girlfriend he was trying to scare.

Abrams said he was recently released from prison for possession of methamphetamines and that he had a probation officer.

There were no injuries and Abrams was issued an exclusionary order and is not allowed back on campus for six months.

SC ENCE Geneticist finds her winning streak in game design

BY FRANCES WILLBERG The Daily Wildcat

This semester, in a conscious effort to recognize women for their contributions to science, the Daily Wildcat will run regular profiles of women who hope to change the world through their passions for knowledge. Some of the women to be featured are only just beginning their careers in research or medicine, while others have already impacted the decisions of aspiring young scientists through teaching and mentorship. We continue our series today with a profile of Marsha Falco, a trained scientist who used her skills to develop board games and enter the world of business.

The card game SET, a recipient of many top game awards, is one of the most popular card games available on the market.

The game is played using cards that contain an array of distinct symbols. Players try to collect certain combinations of cards in order to form a “set” and whichever player has collected the most sets at the end of the game is declared the winner.

SET has been a family favorite since its release in 1991, but few players know the fascinating story behind its creation.

Marsha Falco, the creator of SET and the founder of Set Enterprises Inc., is a biologist by training, earning degrees in animal science from Arizona State University and population genetics from Michigan State University. She founded Set Enterprises in nearby Fountain Hills, Arizona.

“I loved animals and raised dogs ever since I was a child, ... so continuing my love for animals seemed to come naturally to me,” Falco said of her educational background.

While working in a genetics laboratory at the University of Cambridge studying epilepsy in German shepherds, Falco found herself with a problem: How

to effectively catalog vast and often repetitive data. She began using symbols on index cards to represent genetic similarities in the dogs instead of writing out the data in words, according to her online profile. This was before computers were being widely used for cataloging, and Falco’s system was representative of her extensive mathematical training.

“I had a strong mathematical and science background from the very beginning and I still love the challenge of science,” she said.

Falco, an avid game enthusiast, soon recognized the potential for a pattern-recognition game hidden within her collection of data cards, and SET was born.

It took almost two decades,

from her development of the card catalog system in 1974 to the game’s publication in 1991 to perfect the system, but it was certainly worth the wait.

“When we first started producing SET, we gave ourselves a goal: two years and 5,000 copies of the game,” Falco said.

“Needless to say, we sold the 5,000 copies—much more quickly than we had anticipated—and we ended up building the company out and creating other really fun games.”

Falco’s own interest in games— particularly those focused on skill—compelled her to design SET. “I grew up playing games and I always enjoyed them,” she said.

“I especially loved games that involved more skill than luck.”

Falco was also a pioneer in her field as one of the few women in the sciences in the 1970s, in addition to her success in the game industry.

“This was a time where most women were also finding that equality did not mean sameness,” Falco said. “Luckily, I was one of the few—male and female alike—who had the skills for computer programming. Being in the sciences as a woman meant work. It meant becoming a trailblazer on the new frontier of using computers in practical applications and that was exciting for me.”

As Falco has proven, science and game design require similar skills and share some of the same challenges.

“Science has a lot of quirks and an incredibly fun side to it,” she said. “It’s all about being excited to find that ‘Aha!’ moment.

Creating games is that ‘aha’ moment every time.”

So what advice does this innovative and successful scientist and game designer have to share with the next generation of gamers?

“Game design is very difficult,” Falco said. “You have to have a passion for what you’re doing, and you’ll also want a reliable day job on the side. It takes time and patience, but the effort is worth it if you really believe in your creation.”

Falco has taken a path in life, which many others would love to follow.

“Science has so much ever expanding potential and should never be boring,” she said. “My advice to students in either career is to always look for that ‘Aha!’ moment and to always ask questions. It’s how you learn and how you grow, no matter what path life takes you on.”

Dr. Nurcan Atalan-Helicke speaking in the ENR2 building on Wednesday, March 9. Atalan-Helicke spoke on the role of GMOs in Turkey with respect to gender roles and local religion, as many Turkish communities, particulary Turkish women, are suspicious of GMOs.

Turkish communities wary of GMOs

BY Julianna Renzi The Daily Wildcat

Food brings people together in an infinite number of ways. Birthday parties revolve around close friends and sweet treats.

Holidays are marked by traditional family feasts that can last the entire day. Newcomers are introduced to social circles through dinner party invitations. The list goes on.

Food and social relationships have been intertwined since the beginning of time, although they have changed shape over the centuries. There is currently a growing interest in local foods, genetically engineered organisms, responsibly raised animals and organic products in the United States. This increase in food consciousness, however, is not exclusive to the U.S. One of the UA’s new candidates for professor of environmental studies of the Middle East, Dr. Nurcan Atalan-Helicke of Skidmore College, gave a talk titled “What Do Mothers Want? Debating GeneticallyEngineered Food, Gender, and Religion in Turkey” on March 9, to explain how similar topics are interpreted in Turkish communities.

Over the summer Atalan-Helicke conducted focus groups with women from two different regions in Turkey, asking them questions regarding food and genetically engineered products.

Reactions to genetically engineered foods were overwhelmingly negative, although most participants were not able to articulate why they were against genetic modifications or cite specific health impacts of genetically engineered foods. Atalan-Helicke suggested that this selective knowledge was due to a powerful Greenpeace movement to turn the public against genetically engineered organisms.

Organic food also came up often in the focus groups, which Atalan-Helicke linked to a recent governmental push to raise awareness about organics. Women in the focus groups often equated organic food with healthy food, a correlation that has not been proven.

While genetically engineered foods are an important topic in modern health and environmental circles, they also play a prominent role in religious discussions in Turkey.

Many of the 1.6 billion Muslims throughout

the world abide by halal food restrictions, eating only foods that are permissible under Islamic law.

There is no one single company, however, that provides halal certifications. In Turkey alone, there are five different certification groups, including one that states genetically engineered foods are halal, one that states they are haram, or forbidden, and one that says they are neither haram nor halal.

These certification groups have also suffered series of food scandals, leading many citizens to distrust brands and certification groups all together.

Today a trip to the market is not just about checking off five items on a list, it can be riddled with health choices, environmental considerations and label interpretations. For many families, food is not a light topic. Many of the women in Atalan-Helicke’s focus groups felt overwhelmed by the choices in front of them and some cried when the topic came up.

Food is central to motherhood in Turkish culture. An increasing number of Turkish women, however, are working full-time jobs and are simultaneously responsible for ensuring their families eat tasty, nutritious

foods prepared with love.

Many of the women in the focus groups noted that they tried to buy organic this or halal that, but ultimately, their husbands did the shopping and had the final purchasing power. Even women with doctorate degrees complained of the external pressures they experienced from food and the guilt they felt when they could not provide their families with organic food, halal food or homemade sauces and yogurts.

Just the day before Atalan-Helicke’s talk at the UA, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan noted that “a woman is above all else a mother” in a speech commemorating International Women’s Day. In a culture where motherhood and food are so closely intertwined, Erdogan may as well have said that one of a woman’s top priorities should be providing healthy, loving food for her family.

But in an era where there is so much food uncertainty, that job is becoming increasingly difficult.

Lethal parasite may defend against Alzheimer’s

by Stephan Dong The Daily Wildcat

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the world’s most prolific parasites. Although it has been theorized that between 30 and 50 percent of the world’s population may carry the protozoa, many carriers of T. gondii display no apparent symptoms of the subsequently caused disease, toxoplasmosis. They remain unaware that their bodies are permanent homes for an unwanted guest.

Transmitted through undercooked meats, cat feces and even congenitally— from mother to unborn child—the parasite is a master at dispersing itself between hosts. Capable of multiplying like a biblical plague, the disease is usually benign, but can potentially be harmful to people with weak immune systems such as infants and AIDS patients.

Depending on the health of its host, T. gondii’s pathological effects range from fevers to seizures and inflammation of the brain.

There is no cure for toxoplasmosis, but scientists around the world are working to decode the mysteries of the parasite behind the disease. Among these investigators is Dr. Anita Koshy, an

assistant professor of neurology at the UA. “Toxoplasma is able to change the [central nervous system] immune response so that it doesn’t get cleared,” Koshy said.

Much like a security guard, the immune response’s job is to keep any harmful organisms in check and prevent them from doing any serious damage.

While the thought of a parasite disarming the body’s natural defenses seems scary, this may be a fragment of the bigger picture. In reality, it may be more harmful for a host organism to generate an immune response to T. gondii than to simply allow the parasite to continue living in the host’s body.

“It’s better to tolerate that parasite than to create this massive immune response that destroys a good portion of the CNS,” Koshy said.

The nervous system and the parasite have coevolved with each other, shifting the paradigm of toxoplasma from rude guest to a visitor that may potentially pay rent and even wash the dishes once in a while, according to Koshi.

Coevolution occurs when two species affect each other’s evolutionary patterns.

A prime example of this is the relationship between bees and flowers. Bees evolved

structures to carry pollen from flower to flower, and flowers developed structures that enable bees to pollinate them and collect nectar more easily.

While the relationship described in the example is straightforward and mutually beneficial, the relationship between the CNS and toxoplasma is less reciprocal and much more complex.

One of the most fascinating aspects of toxoplasma is its unique relationship with Alzheimer’s disease.

Koshy’s research is an expansion from the result of a previous experiment conducted in 2012. In the previous experiment, mice that expressed both toxoplasma and Alzheimer’s disease showed reduced symptoms of Alzheimer’s compared to mice that expressed Alzheimer’s without toxoplasma.

“That gives credence to the idea that toxoplasma is changing something that then protects against these second CNS insults,” Koshy said.

In other words, toxoplasma may actually provide health benefits for Alzheimer’s patients, despite its ability to cause diseases.

While subjecting Alzheimer’s patients to the toxoplasma parasite may seem like a reasonable way to treat the disease, there

It’s time to address UA greek life misconceptions Arts & life reporter Hannah Djavadi and columnist Rhiannon Bauer go head to head on common greek life stereotypes

BY HANNAH DJAVADI AND RHIANNON BAUER The Daily Wildcat

Stereotype #1: Greek members are “dumb” Rhiannon Bauer: Other college students tend to assume that greek life is why sorority women and fraternity men don’t measure up when it comes to things like intelligence. Even if greek members average a higher GPA than non-greek members, this isn’t enough to break the stereotype. The statistic could simply be due to involvement in something extracurricular.

It’s fine if greek life doesn’t make members smarter—an organization may be better at enriching a person socially in ways completely unrelated to academics, but there is a fine line between healthy socializing and wasting time partying, and it seems like sororities and fraternities flirt with that line quite a bit.

Although greek life members may argue that, it’s hard to completely ignore the rumors.

When you see the way so many of the women dress to go to these parties, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to network or do anything related to bettering themselves.

Hannah Djavadi: Sorority women are consistently negatively stereotyped when it comes to academics.

“At the University of Arizona, the overall average GPA for greek members is a 3.2, compared to a 2.9 for non-greek members,” said Gretchen Proulx, a junior studying family studies and human development with a minor in Spanish and studio

Stereotypes are commonly directed toward greek life members on college campuses.

arts and the UA Panhellenic Council’s vice president of New Member Services.

Greek organizations place high importance on academics and provide study programs and scholarship resources for all members.

Stereotype #2: Greek members are superficial and lack emotional substance RB: Many UA greek life communities make significant contributions to charities and other nonprofit organizations.

Members volunteer, make donations and participate in fundraising events for good causes.

However, it cannot be ruled out that sororities and fraternities that use point systems run the risk of their members only taking part to meet a minimum required amount of participation. If point systems were entirely nonexistent throughout all greek organizations, then participation in philanthropic events would reflect on them more positively.

But as it stands, you can’t know a person’s true reasons for helping out. Do they want to cure cancer, or do they want to attend the formal and need the points to do it?

HD: Sorority women and fraternity men raise over $7 million each year nationally that is donated to causes in need.

On the UA campus alone, Sigma

Alpha Epsilon president and finance junior Ben Disbrow said Splash and Pass, a philanthropy that raises money to cover the medical funds for children who are battling cancer, raised over $17,000 in its recent event.

Furthermore, The Sigma Kappa Foundation and the women of Sigma Kappa raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, and Delta Gamma emphasizes the importance of its philanthropic events dedicated to funding Service for Sight and the Wounded Warrior Project. These are only a few examples—out of numerous philanthropies—that are highly valued and supported in the UA greek community.

Stereotype #3: Greek members only care about partying RB: Because partying happens so frequently, those groups have become known for the controversial activities that come along with parties. If a greater focus was placed on the education of members rather than on social blossoming and friendship, maybe we would hear more about how intelligent and hardworking the greek community is.

I mean, honors students aren’t known for getting wasted multiple times a week or having low IQs. HD: Being in college means you are going to be social regardless of whether you’re

in a greek organization.

Unfortunately, fraternity men are commonly known for only throwing parties.

Brian Kewin, a business management junior and president of Sigma Chi at the UA, said that partying was one of reasons he considered not joining a fraternity.

“Then after I joined, I was able to understand that it’s so much more than just a party, it’s a lifelong experience,” he said.

Additionally, Taylor Brown, an education junior and president of Sigma Kappa, said, “This stereotype is hurtful because I know tons of women in this chapter who are not into partying and who are very laid back.”

Bottom line: RB: What I really want to emphasize is that you can’t necessarily make a claim about a group that’s 100 percent accurate. There are always outliers, exceptions from the rule. And no matter if a stereotype is positive or negative, it’s never quite right to say that it applies to absolutely everyone.

The truth is, organizations build their reputations by what spreads the most. You build your own reputation, and this is something to keep in mind if you’re considering rushing.

Unless things change with how sororities and fraternities frequently behave on the whole, the stereotypes will likely never die. It’s an individual’s job to rise above the stereotypes and prove their worth.

HD: Greek life is known for many things at the UA—mostly unfair, negative stereotypes associated with fraternities and sororities on campus. The truth is that greek men and women on campus strive for academic success, building strong community and social relations and growth toward being strong future leaders.

‘The Walking Dead’ writers are brain dead

BY Alec Kuehnle The Daily Wildcat

H

orror-drama series “The Walking Dead” is now in its sixth season and continues to attract viewers who never seem to get sick of watching zombies get their heads bashed in.

This show runs rampant with the undead. While zombies roam the world and feast on the flesh of whatever they can find, the truly brain dead here are those responsible for the terrible quality of the show. These mindless flesh eaters have taken “The Walking Dead,” a once intelligent, wellwritten series, and turned it into the worst show on TV. It started off so strong. You could flip through the channels on your TV and exclaim, “Ooh, zombies!” Viewers could sit back and watch them eat some brains while also getting a slice of well-made entertainment with interesting characters fighting for survival.

Then, slowly but surely, the interesting characters started to die and

the writing went downhill, resulting in the god-awful mess that now airs in “The Walking Dead” time slot on Sunday nights.

The show can still bring on that same “Ooh, zombies!” feeling that it used to, but it can’t do anything else. It has lost all of its interesting qualities, yet it remains one of the most popular series on television—my god, we have really bad taste.

The show’s first two seasons started off strong, then began the shit show that is seasons three through six. Yeah, it’s a show about zombies, but that gets

old real quick. Yet, people continue to tune in every week just to find out what creative, new way the geniuses at “Walking Dead” headquarters thought up to kill a zombie that week. It’s people, actual characters, that make a show interesting—not just zombies, which is something the writers don’t seem to realize.

The tension between Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Shane (Jon Bernthal) made the first two seasons so good.

Shane was a particularly compelling character, whose haunting change from good-natured man to complete

Luxury Rental Homes

psychopath stole the show. But, at the end of season two, what happens?

Shane dies, of course, along with the show’s glory days.

From there, it just got worse and worse. The show cast aside character, plot and all those other apparently useless elements in favor of what fans really wanted: zombies. It seems as if the show has no plot structure at all. It sometimes goes on random, one or two episode tangents completely unrelated to the actual plot. Sometimes, they stick with a character or two for an entire episode for no apparent reason. None of it makes sense, until eventually, you just have to get up and turn off the TV. The series is based on a series of comics, and one can only hope the comics outdo the show.

But, it has lasted until season six, with season seven set to premiere later this year. It even has its own spinoff series, “Fear The Walking Dead”—my goodness, what a clever name.

Season six has not shown any signs of improvement, with zombie violence and random bursts of anger taking precedent over a well-thought out plot or any real character development.

Highlights of the new season include Rick and Michonne (Danai Gurira) finally hooking up, and Rick’s son, Carl

(Chandler Riggs), getting his eye shot out­—oh, joy.

There’s also a new character. It’s Jesus, the almighty lord and savior himself. That’s right, Jesus now has a role on “The Walking Dead.” OK, maybe it’s not actually Jesus, but he looks just like him, refers to himself as such and does not at all fit in with the tone of the show.

Furthermore, the writers have completely missed a somewhat interesting angle here. The show’s title obviously refers to the zombies, but if you read into it a little bit more, you could argue that it also refers to the survivors in this zombie-infested world, individuals basically dead as well who lose all of their hope and humanity.

The title works like a metaphor, and the writers need to find some sort of way to better incorporate that idea into the show. Right now, the characters just take part in brutally violent acts every episode. It has to stop.

“The Walking Dead” airs Sunday nights on AMC, but hopefully not for too much longer.

Annual easter egg hunt is back

BY SAMMY CHERUKURI The Daily Wildcat

It’s time to get those empty baskets ready for some hoppin’ yummy treats and Easter bunny surprises because the EGGstravaganza is back.

Tucson Parks and Recreation will host the annual event at Mansfield Park in hopes of uniting the Tucson community with a cheerful and spring-filled ambiance.

This year’s event will commence as usual at Mansfield Park on March 26. Located on 2000 N. Fourth Ave., the EGGstravaganza is located in a convenient location for the entire community.

Ron Odell, a district supervisor with the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation, is excited for the event.

“The attendance at this recurring event is extraordinary: around 4,000 golf balls were used last year,” Odell said. “As many as 3,000 people—triple from previous years—may be in attendance by 11 a.m.”

The EGGstravaganza runs from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., with additional parking at the Donna Liggins Center, Mansfield Park Pool, Tucson Symphony, the Sixth Avenue Dog Park, as well as street parking.

This year’s event, sponsored by the Ward 3 Council Office, USA Youth Sports, CareMore, Bear Essential News and Tucson Water, predicts an epic turn out. Food vendors will

line the sides of the event, selling treats to satisfy those chocolate or greasy cravings.

Apart from the food booths, carnival games will excite children of all ages.

The best part is a grand visit from the Easter bunny. This icon has long served as a beacon of spring spirit and true happiness for years.

In addition, children look forward to the Easter egg hunt, which uses golf balls in place of eggs, according to Tucson native Brandon Lombardi, who recalls his time spent at the past events.

“It was always so cute, watching my younger sister trip on her face when running in the egg hunt,” Lombardi said. “She got real excited upon finding different treats and toys.

It made me reminisce about my childhood days again. Watching all of the kids scramble around, giving into the spirit of Easter made it all much more refreshing. It makes you think as an adult, ‘Why can’t we enjoy the little things in life that we used to?’”

The anticipated Easter egg hunt will be divided into different child age groups due to the extremely large attendance. While Tucson Parks and Recreation boasts free admission to the event, guests must remember to bring their own baskets, as well as spending money for the food and drinks offered.

Does alcohol cause headaches?

Are certain kinds more likely to cause migraines?

For some people, yes, alcohol can trigger headaches. Let’s focus on four ways that alcohol can cause headaches, including migraines.

Dehydration. It is well-documented that drinking alcohol can cause headaches due to the effects of dehydration on body tissues, including the brain. Alcohol is a diuretic, and it causes the kidneys to excrete water. When the body doesn’t have enough fluid in the tissues and circulatory system, the end result can be muscle cramps, headache, and more.

Higher levels of dehydration may alter mood, decrease your mental alertness and concentration, and lower your ability to perform both physically and cognitively.

Vasodilation. Consuming alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate, or expand, and this alone can cause a headache.

Tyramine. Migraines can be caused by many different things, including hormone changes (particularly in women), foods (nuts, aged meats and cheeses, and fermented, salted, smoked, or pickled products), and alcoholic beverages. The most common culprit in alcohol-induced migraines is the substance tyramine which results from the breakdown of

the amino acid, tyrosine. Higher levels of tyramine can be found in chianti, red wines, sherry, vermouth, beer, and ales. Some people are very sensitive to tyramine and eventually learn which alcoholic beverages (and foods) trigger headaches.

Congeners. Congeners are compounds that form in beverages during the fermentation process. Their presence has been linked with more severe hangover symptoms, including headaches. Generally speaking, dark liquors like bourbon, whiskey, and wine have more congeners than clear liquors such as rum, vodka, gin, etc.

How to avoid alcohol-induced headaches? Drink extra water when you imbibe spirits. If you tend to have migraines, avoid the types of alcohol that trigger your headaches. Drink moderately: no more than one drink an hour for women; no more than two drinks an hour for men. When you keep your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) low, you can enjoy the positive effects (a little buzz, fun times, a night to remember, socializing) without the drawbacks (headaches, vomiting, regretted behavior, blacking out, hangovers, etc.).

Marginalized student group’s demands are unreasonable

ecently, a group of UA students calling themselves the Marginalized Students of the University of Arizona gave a list of demands to the administration. These demands included providing free tampons to students, hiring more diverse employees and breaking any ties with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.

The students also called for

various reforms such as requiring campus-wide cultural sensitivity training and instructing professors to institute mandatory “trigger warnings.” To top it off, they also demanded a minimum budget of $500,000 for “Diversity Initiatives.”

While these efforts for reform and an emphasis on diversity are great, this group is going about it the wrong way.

First of all, a campus group cannot force other UA organizations to attend training.

The marginalized students’ ideals and values tell them that everyone would benefit from taking cultural sensitivity training, but does not mean their values must be

validated and enforced.

As for the $500,000 diversity budget, what do they plan to do with it? That money will have to come from somewhere, and odds are, it would only force the UA to yet again raise tuition in order to make these students more comfortable.

The group states it plans to use such additional funding to hire more diverse faculty members, create residence hall communities specific to certain groups and employ more counselors to address the specific needs of different groups of students.

Their concerns and demands were certainly made with good

intentions, but again, why do they feel the need to make this everyone else’s issue?

The UA campus is, for the most part, safe and tolerant toward students of all identities, ethnic groups, genders and walks of life. It baffles me these students have the audacity to decree our university is not doing and has not done enough for them.

These ideals and values should be taken and applied to schools and communities that actually need them. They’re justified concerns, but it’s excessive to push for them on a university campus that already has a

The UA should not be considered diverse because it really isn’t BY stephanie shaw

startled me, but thinking about which 11 percent of the population was being tested reminded me that there’s a very good chance it wasn’t the students thinking about racial issues daily.

The reality is nearly 57 percent of UA students are white, according to College Data, an online college adviser. This number seems surprisingly low. If you walk on campus, you can typically count the visible diverse individuals on a hand or two. Diversity on our campus is not as visible as the numbers make it seem.

The only other substantial group at the UA is Hispanic/Latino, making up about 27 percent of our population. Meaning that all other ethnic groups combined— yes, combined—amount to just above 16 percent of the entire student body.

The simple numbers are not nearly as problematic as the physical and atmospheric situation is.

Our university should not be considered diverse until the subjective attitudes of the majority of the population are considered.

welcoming and safe atmosphere.

Additionally, the UA has begun to address its issues of diversity and cultural awareness. In response to the recent protests, President Ann Weaver Hart announced a broad taskforce that will address and develop amicable solutions to issues concerning “the campus climate and lacking cultural competency.” This taskforce will not only serve to support the marginalized students, but also many other diverse groups on campus.

The group has only portrayed itself as entitled, brash, aggressive and indolent.

While striving for reform is great, forcing changes and making demands will not yield a positive outcome or atmosphere.

Thus, change needs to occur gradually and willingly for it to be effective and favorable for the entire campus.

Consequently, complying with the demands of these students would merely serve to marginalize other students and faculty in exchange for the comfort and emotional support of these students.

Since they have been given the opportunity to make a collaborative effort to meet some of their demands, they should work with the newly assembled taskforce to begin the journey to creating a more culturally-aware and diverse campus.

t seems like everywhere I go, I hear the same words used to describe our campus and student population.

Most everyone agrees our food choices in the Arizona Student Unions are less than sustainable, our weather is incredible and our social scene is revered by many.

I agree with all of the aforementioned statements—however, when I hear “diverse” used to describe our student body, it makes me pause and think twice.

People seem to forget that the meaning of a word is subjective to one’s previous surroundings. If someone isn’t used to being surrounded by, let’s say cactuses—arriving in Tucson is a culture shock for that person regardless of whether they’re looking at Saguaro National Park or a cactus garden on the UA Mall. I hope you’re catching on to the

metaphor here.

I’m thankful I was brought up in a metropolitan area and went to public school. I quickly learned not see color, but instead individuals, and not to see percentages, but friends. As cliché as that sounds, it’s absolutely true. And not in the “I have a black friend so I can use derogatory terms freely” kind of way, but in the sense that I, a white female, was truly uncomfortable with the lack of diversity I found when I first came to this university. I can’t imagine how people of color would feel arriving on campus for the first time.

Every five years, the UA takes a student-wide survey aimed at gathering information about students’ attitudes about the climate of campus. The most recent information comes from the 2011 study. It’s important to note that the 2011 survey only had an 11 percent response rate. It’s hard to examine general attitudes on campus when you’re talking to less than an eighth of the student population.

Nonetheless, when these students were asked if they thought the UA had a diverse population, 83 percent—an overwhelming majority—agreed. This

Making up for lost time is difficult, but UA golfer Kolton Lapa is hoping it’s not too late to make up ground in moving onto a professional golf career.

Lapa started his college career at the University of Nebraska where he quickly set the 54-hole scoring record as a freshman and garnered two Big Ten Conference Player of the Week honors along the way.

“When I went to Nebraska first and had my career low, I broke the 54-hole scoring record there, everything was great,” Lapa said. “I was working with my swing coach Jeff Fisher and golf was basically everything, that’s all it was.”

Midway through his sophomore season in Lincoln, Nebraska, he decided to return to his home state and join Arizona’s team in hopes to further develop his game in better weather. By his estimation, it was only going to improve.

In the spring of his sophomore year, he posted his career-low average of 73.86, according to the Arizona Athletics website.

However, the temptation to be distracted by college life caused a drop in Lapa’s play the next couple seasons.

“As my career has kind of progressed, I let outside

distractions hold me back a little bit,” Lapa said. “I think that has been the main key.

Once my junior year came along, I basically quit working with my swing coach. It was a rebuilding year.”

Lapa’s numbers tailed off, his average jumped to 76.05 in addition to not placing inside the top 30 in any tournament he played in his junior year.

Posting just two rounds under par that season, Lapa realized he needed to make a change.

“This senior year, I have dedicated everything I possibly can to get on the right track,” Lapa said.

It’s been so far, so good this season as he finished in the top 20 in four tournaments to date including a fourth-place finish at the Northern Trust Open Collegiate Showcase, which Lapa said was the most fun he has had at a tournament in his career and a bit of a turning point.

“We got to play at Bel-Air Country Club, … we had a banquet dinner, warmed up with Ricky Barnes and I was in contention all day,” he said. “I was in first place at one point before finishing fourth. I was able to meet PGA Tour pro Vijay Singh in the clubhouse and then I met Rory McIlroy, so all that was pretty cool.”

Lapa pointed to watching professional golfers warm up next to him as the moment he realized he could do it himself.

Lapa said that the main difference between himself and the pros are the small things like course management and making smart decisions.

The goal moving on is a shot at the PGA Tour, and everything he does from this point forward is to prepare for that.

Lapa said he modified his schedule to where he can attend class online, thus freeing up time to be more regimented.

“I wake up, I go to breakfast at Bear Down Kitchen, then I head to the course,” Lapa said.

“I kind of treat it like I am a tour professional already.”

He spends roughly eight to nine hours a day on the course honing his skills before returning home to finish his online studies. The structure has paid off so far as Lapa is on track to have his career-low average in his final campaign.

Lapa is currently ranked 1,510th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, according to the WAGR website, and is steadily moving up as the season comes to a close.

The early success coupled with his recent experience of being around tour pros is the reason Lapa is pushing hard to achieve a dream only few can.

Only time will tell if he is on the right track.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller hugs Arizona center Kaleb Tarzewski as he exits the court for the last time in his college basketball career in Providence, Rhode Island on Thursday, March 17. Miller dispelled rumors on Tuesday that he was interested in the Pittsburgh head coaching vacancy. He has three Elite Eight appearences in seven seasons with the program.

Early exit aside, Sean Miller deserves credit for this season

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

T

en minutes into Arizona’s game against Wichita State, Sean Miller was sweating so profusely that he looked like he received a pre-game Powerade bath.

Miller’s Wildcats were down to the Shockers. He was coaching as hard as possible; being active on the sideline, yelling, clapping, directing and doing anything to guide his team back on track against a Wichita State team that was derailing Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

It was emblematic of the work Miller has put in this season, and though Arizona received an early exit from the tournament, this season could arguably be one of Miller’s best as a head coach.

Since his arrival on campus over six years ago, Miller rebuilt an Arizona program that was spoiled with rich history, but had suffered through some rough years. He gave

the team a defensive-minded culture and identity, which he used to lead them to three Elite Eight appearances.

But take a look at the challenges Miller and his team have overcome this year. A lot of misfortune has fallen on Arizona.

To start, look at the turnover this team has had compared to last season.

Four of the five starters from last year’s Elite Eight team left for the NBA Draft. That was a team who, aside from Stanley Johnson, had all played with each other for two or three years. All of a sudden, Miller had to replace these guys with new faces.

But even for the new guys, the road wasn’t smooth.

“You have to understand the combination of so many different things that hit us this year,” Miller said after the loss to Wichita State. “From Ray Smith, who never was able to play. [Smith] could have been maybe our most talented freshman [and we] lost him for the year with an ACL. We lost Allonzo [Trier] for about seven games in the Pac-12 [Conference].”

Arizona had seven new players suit up this season—including walk-on Paolo Cruz—and

eight if you include Smith. Already, twothirds of Miller’s team was brand new.

Ryan Anderson and Kadeem Allen sat the bench last season, but there is still a learning curve.

He had two of his brightest young stars suffer injuries during critical points.

Trier’s injury occurred right in the middle of conference play and Smith never saw the court. These are the kids he has to mold for Arizona’s future, but that’s difficult when they are knocked out of the game for extended periods of time.

The injury bug extended to the veterans as well. Kaleb Tarczewski injured his foot in Los Angeles when the Wildcats faced Santa Clara early in the season.

“You have to remember, Kaleb barely played in the non-conference season,” Miller said.

And injuries weren’t the only thing affecting the Wildcats this season.

“We lost Elliott Pitts, who’s really a big defender for us; could’ve helped us,” Miller said.

Pitts sat out for 18 games with an undisclosed personal issue, before it was

officially announced by Miller that he decided to walk away from the team.

“We had a lot of different things hit us, but I think the resiliency and character of our senior group carried us to this point,” Miller said. “As much as I would like to say, ‘Hey, I wish we could’ve won 30,’ we might have ended up right where we should have been.”

What Miller did with this year’s team is impressive. It can’t be overlooked that Arizona ranked in the top-20 nationally in scoring, won 12 games in a deep conference while also earning an upset victory on the road at Gonzaga.

The Wildcats never dropped out of the AP Top-25 poll.

While usually a defense-first team, Miller did his best to adjust with what he had.

Kudos to Miller for the work he did with this team. They didn’t end with the result they wanted, but it cannot be ignored that Miller coached harder and compiled a good season with a team that was essentially brand new.

Miller dispels Pittsburgh coaching rumors

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona fans had a scare Tuesday morning when rumors about Sean Miller heading to Pittsburgh grazed the Twitter universe.

The news was first reported by Rich Walsh from KDKA-TV Pittsburgh.

“Pitt is putting the full court press on Miller,” Walsh was told by sources.

Walsh reported that Miller was in Pittsburgh meeting with university administrators.

Rumors came after former Pittsburgh head coach Jamie Dixon left the program Monday for the head-coaching gig with TCU. Both Jeff Goodman and Jon Rothstein repeatedly declined the rumors on Twitter and urged followers that Miller would not be leaving Arizona any time soon.

That was until Miller himself came straight out and squashed the rumor.

“I have no interest in becoming the head coach at Pitt,” Miller said in a statement on Twitter. “I wish them luck in replacing Jamie Dixon, a tremendous coach and person, who did an incredible job in his time there.”

Goodman, an ESPN basketball insider, soon tweeted a picture of Miller walking outside McKale Center, providing visual evidence that Miller was not in Pittsburgh.

Miller has an overall record of 308-108 in his 12 years as head coach at both Arizona and

Xavier, according to Sports Reference.

This is not the first time that Miller has been sought after by other programs.

In May 2011, Miller seriously flirted with the Maryland head coaching vacancy.

Coming off of a defining victory over Duke in the Sweet Sixteen of the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Miller engaged in talks with Maryland administrators about the job opening.

Arizona fans sat through a nerve-wracking 48 hours waiting for Miller to decide between returning to the East Coast or keeping his job in Tucson.

Miller eventually decided on the latter by agreeing to a contract extension.

Miller received a one-year contract extension in September 2015 through the 2019-2020 season. Miller was guaranteed $2.8 million this year, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

Additionally, a retention plan is in place to reward Miller if he fulfills his contract at Arizona.

Miller, football head coach Rich Rodriguez and athletic director Greg Byrne are all scheduled to receive a stock bonus set up by an anonymous Arizona booster.

Miller’s share could earn him upward of $4 million, according to the Daily Star. UACOACHMILLER VIA TWITTER

Yim, GymCats prepared for NCAA’s BY matt wall

The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona gymnastics team will head to Athens, Georgia, to compete in its 30th consecutive postseason NCAA regional competition on Saturday, April 2.

“There’s a strong foundation that’s been built here by coach [Jim] Gault and coach [Bill] Ryden,” Arizona head coach Tabitha Yim said.

“To continue that tradition of going into the postseason is a testament to the hard work that they have put in. We always want to challenge that the top two teams make it to the National Championships. That’s our ultimate goal.”

The Wildcats are currently ranked No. 22 in the country and will face top-notch competition in the upcoming regionals.

Joining the GymCats will be No. 3 LSU, No. 10 Georgia, No. 15 Oregon State, George Washington and Michigan State. Ashleigh Gnat of the LSU Tigers is ranked No. 1 nationally on both vault and floor competition, while the Georgia Bulldogs have won 14 of their past 18 regional competitions.

“I think this meet is just a celebration of all the hard work we put in this whole year,” Yim said. “Somebody asked me what’s different about postseason and I think it’s that level of excitement. There’s a lot more teams on the floor. It’s all about looking back on how much

you committed and the passion. … All that comes together in the postseason.”

Only the top-two teams in each of the six regionals will advance to the NCAA Championships, a feat the UA has not accomplished since 2002.

Arizona faced two of those opponents already this season, including Michigan State and formidable Pac-12 opponent Oregon State.

The Wildcats recently competed in the Pac12 Championships, finishing in sixth place overall ahead of Washington and ASU. “It was exciting because I was so proud of how they responded to adversity,” Yim said. “I mean, when the very first kid in the meet goes down—and Kennady [Schneider] has been such a rock for our team and has had our back so many times this season—for the bars team to step up and have her back in that moment and not only hitting their routines, but having big hit routines, some of them even season highs, it’s a testament to the belief that they have within each other.”

Something unique about Yim is that she has been here many times before both as a gymnast and as an assistant coach at Stanford.

“Our message has been iron out the details and put in every single thing you’ve got in practices the next two weeks and put it all out on the floor,” Yim said.

Despite facing some of the best gymnasts and masterminds in the country, Yim isn’t

willing to back down.

“Our goal has always been to peak at the end of the year,” she said. “If you watch March Madness, those rankings don’t really mean anything. It’s who is going to be the best team, who is going to put it out on the floor that day.

That’s what we’ve been preparing for the entire year and I think we have as great a shot as anybody. There are amazing teams out on the floor, but I’m proud to say that I think we are one of those amazing teams.”

Win or lose in Athens, the Wildcats have proved they are back on track and hungry to step up against fierce competition.

“When you watch the coverage of the meet, we look like the team who won the meet because the girls are so engaged in what we are doing,” Yim said about the Pac12 Championships. “They are so invested in the journey, in each other, in this family and what we are trying to do. When I look at them in those moments, I’m so proud to be a part of this family. We are all very cohesive and all on board. They are great ambassadors for the sport and I’m very proud of that.”

The Wildcats will compete at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 2.

Magloire Jr. ready to do things his way The Daily Wildcat

When Paul Magloire Jr. makes a play against Arizona’s offense in practice, he’s not necessarily loud, but the hybrid linebacker will let the offense know who is top dog.

Magloire especially likes to get in the ear of quarterback Brandon Dawkins.

“I talk trash to Brandon all the time,” Magloire said. “He throws a high ball, I’m talking trash and in his ear. … [If] he gets me one play, he’s going to talk about for two days and if I get him on a play, I’m going to talk about it for an hour because I’m used to those things happening.”

Magloire has absolutely no problem getting in someone’s ear and making his presence felt, which is a trait the junior college transfer didn’t possess last season.

Magloire was recruited as a safety from Arizona Western College in a desert oasis in Yuma. When he arrived in Tucson, he was coming into a new environment and competing against a defensive back core that was already penciled in for the 2015 season.

With trying to get adjusted to a new defensive scheme and having to learn different sets on a dime, Magloire was the quiet guy in the corner just absorbing all of the information.

Now, Magloire is looked at as a leader and the art of trash talking is just another way to keep the team honest and on their toes.

“I feel like I was less talkative, but now everybody is always talking trash to each other, trying to push each other and not in a bad way,” Magloire said.

Injuries plagued the Wildcats in 2015, especially at the linebacker position, losing Scooby Wright III, Derrick Turituri, Cody Ippolito and Jake Matthews.

This led to Magloire transitioning his 215-pound frame to outside linebacker. Magloire finished second on the team in tackles with 72 total, while leading the Wildcats with 54 solo tackles.

“We needed athletic guys at linebacker,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “He filled that role last year and he’ll be better this year.”

The confidence the coaches have in Magloire this offseason reveals their faith in the senior.

Making the transition from playing in space as a defensive back to rushing the edge can present a challenge, but now that Magloire has overcome that hurdle, it gives Rodriguez a playmaker to add into the mix of Arizona’s defense.

“He’s just a really good player and a great guy,” Rodriguez said. “Football is important to him; he’s physical, he’s athletic and he can play multiple positions.”

Rather than learning the X’s and O’s of being a linebacker in the defense, Magloire is focusing on one position: the hybrid player who is able to drop

back in coverage while still being able to get to the backfield.

Magloire said he watches practice and game tapes of players like Deone Bucannon of the Arizona Cardinals, another hybrid defensive back who rushes the quarterback. Magloire also studies the 2016 Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player Von Miller, arguably the NFL’s best pass rusher.

Seeing how those two NFL players have impacted the game with their performance and leadership on the field, Magloire has adopted their techniques to become a vocal and exemplary leader.

“Each position has a leader and has somebody that’s being the vocal guy and is going to get on somebody if they’re slacking on a rep, because you gotta call people if they aren’t doing such,” Magloire said. “You as a leader gotta make sure that you’re not slacking off, cutting reps and what not.”

The game of football, especially on the defensive side of the ball, is evolving into developing more players like Magloire and even though he’s one of few of an up-and-coming breed, his now 225-pound stature and speed is making him a jack of all trades.

“The game is changing and I’m changing with it,” he said. “So I guess things are working out.”
