One of the UA students attempting the gap is Stephanie Johnson, a psychology senior who is no stranger to activities that lean more to the extreme side. Her favorite extreme activity is off-roading but she said she also enjoys rock climbing, skydiving and, of course, slacklining.

After being met by fierce criticism from the LGBTQ community, including at the UA, a state legislator’s “bathroom bill” is up for some changes.

Senate Bill 1432, proposed by state Rep. John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills) originally would have made it a misdemeanor to use a public restroom or changing facility designated for a gender different from the one on the user’s birth certificate.

Kavanagh has altered his proposal to say governments should not determine who can use a particular restroom based on gender.

Instead, the bill will leave the decision up to individual businesses, Kavanagh said.

The original proposal was intended to counter a Phoenix ordinance that passed in February, banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and disability in employment, housing and public places. However, critics of the bill’s original language say it extends beyond the influence of the government.

“I think it is really disrespectful to the transgender community because it is forcing them to out themselves and is an invasion of their privacy,” said Juan Pereyra, the graduate assistant for the UA’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs. “It is beautiful that we are able to allow them to have the ability to use whatever bathroom they choose.”

In response to criticism, Kavanagh revised the language to leave the decision of determining who uses which restroom up to individual businesses.

“I have changed the bill,” Kavanagh said.

“I am saying that no level of government can override a business’s right to have an exclusively men’s room or an exclusively women’s restroom. You can’t make that a crime.

“You can’t have people sue them for that,” he continued. “It is up to the business to determine if they want to let everyone into the facility or only people with their biological gender. I’m only making this

A program that originally began as a course internship with six students from the UA School of Geography and Development has become a growing community initiative.

In collaboration with the Tucson Community Food Bank, The Community School and Garden program aims to help develop school gardens in local Tucson schools.

Sallie Marston, a professor in the School of Geography and Development and the program’s director, contributed to the program back in 2009, offering the internship as independent study for students to gain extra credit. Among the first to jump-start the program is field coordinator and graduate student Morgan Apicella, who approached The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona and offered to help teach an urban agriculture class.

The class would combine gardening skills with social justice issues, adding to the food bank’s

ongoing support for school gardens, which was overwhelmingly in demand.

Now, the program has grown to 53 student interns in 10 schools and is working to expand to high schools with the help of funds from the UA’s Green Fund, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences,

the College of Science, and Water, Environmental and Energy Solutions.

UA interns from various majors work with each school’s students, incorporating subjects like math, literature and science while showing students how to develop and maintain a garden. Students

learn these skills by growing their own fruits, vegetables and even raising hens.

Looking back, Marston said she never expected such a positive turnout. She credits the interns’ drive to work in the community to its success.

“This has been a big jump for us,” Marston said. “It started really small. I thought of it as a oneoff thing. People came to me and asked for support … I could see a great need for these neighborhoods, where most students are under free lunch in schools and don’t have adequate resources. We wanted to seek the best interns to supply the program and provide support for these schools.”

Schools participating in the program since 2010 include Manzo Elementary and Ochoa Elementary, both of which are working to include the gardens more in their curriculums. Manzo runs a Reconciliation Ecology program run by counselor Moses Thompson, who uses the garden as a tool to implement counseling. Through participation

Dance-a-thon to honor children at UAMC Sarah-Jayne Simon Arizona Daily Wildcat

The UA will host its third annual 10-hour dance marathon in April for community members to help raise awareness and funds for a Tucson-based foundation.

The Courage in Motion 10-Hour Dance-aThon will take place at the Student Recreation Center on April 6 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will help raise funds for Beads of Courage, an organization that supports children living with serious and complex medical conditions.

Participants who have registered to dance have asked sponsors to support them for hourlong dance increments. The event will honor children receiving treatment at the University of Arizona Medical Center Diamond Children’s Center.

Erika Colombi, a graduate student in the UA School of Dance, said she came upon the idea to merge music and dancing as a form of therapy and fundraising into her service with Beads of Courage.

“My hope is to start some movement intervention for the children,” Colombi said. “The music and the movement gives [the patients] a connection with their body.

Everybody can hear music and anybody can move in any way they want and it’s hard to not gain some enjoyment out of that.”

The donations raised from Courage in Motion will go to Beads of Courage, which was founded by UA alumna Jean Baruch. Registered participants in the dance marathon will wear two beads made by glass artists. At the end of the event, one bead will remain with the participant and the other will be gifted to children receiving treatment at Diamond Children’s. “[Beads] run deep within our human nature,” Baruch said. “Humans have been adorning themselves for over hundreds of thousands of years in beads. They are not disposable and the kids in our program are very proud of them, as they should be, because they are symbols of their day-to-day courage.”

Colombi choreographed an original piece, which will be performed by several UA dance students during a portion of the dance

marathon.

“I hope the audience will make the connection between the dance and the Beads of Courage foundation,” said Ashley Hammond, a dance freshman who is performing in the dance choreographed by Colombi. “We are representing these children performing this dance, and it will be beautiful with a little bit of pain. I hope the audience makes the connection

that the children really need their funds because they are trying to find happiness in the pain they are experiencing.”

The Beads of Courage program is in more than 150 children’s hospitals throughout the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and the United Kingdom. Beads of Courage currently supports more than 30,000 children with its programs. Margaret Zinser, a local glass

artist and volunteer on the board of directors for Beads of Courage said that working with such an organization puts her work into better context.

“Providing enrichment in treatment for children with serious illnesses is a good feeling,” Zinser said. “It doesn’t cost much to get beads through and it helps out in a very significant way.”

Campus members showcase research at Innovation Day Kayla Samoy Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students have the opportunity to showcase projects, like a website that would help users achieve their life goals, at the UA’s 10th annual Innovation Day on Thursday.

Innovation Day began when the Office of University Research Parks wanted to encourage UA faculty and students to think of ways to commercialize technology instead of publishing research.

“We were looking to create a way to change the culture among the faculty and students,” said Molly Gilbert, director of community engagement at the Office of University Research Parks.

The Research Parks wanted to take the technology and ideas that are coming from the university and put them into the community to help improve people’s lives and contribute to the local economy, according to Bruce Wright, the associate vice president for University Research Parks.

The UA is recognized as a major research university with research expenditures at more than $6 million, according to Wright. Since the first Innovation Day, Wright said he has seen an increase in faculty and students who engage in research and see that as an opportunity.

“Innovators tend to be really interesting people,” Wright said. “We use the phrase ‘They’re taking the leading edge’ and they really are.

They’re looking at how to solve world problems, how to tear down barriers, how to take risks.”

Aside from highlighting student and faculty research and technology work, Innovation Day is an opportunity for students from the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship in the Eller College of Management to showcase their business plans.

with similar dreams. Users will also be able to get advice from people who have experience or from experts on how to achieve them.

The major challenge was taking their “complex idea” and figuring out how to make it a reality and launch the website.

“You can’t just run if you can’t walk,” said Max Cutler, a senior studying finance and entrepreneurship.

Though this will be the team’s first time presenting at a trade show, Cutler said their previous presentations over the past six months in class, and to investors, have prepared them for Innovation Day. Cutler said he hopes people see that their site is fun and innovative.

The team is passionate not only about the idea, but about helping people, according to Cutler.

“Ideally, we’d love to help people accomplish their bucket list dreams,” Cutler said. “It’s not just a presentation, it’s almost like a lifestyle.”

highlining from page 1

The difference between slacklining and highlining is the height. Slacklining becomes highlining when the line is suspended in the air at a height that is too high for a person to be able to jump off of, according to Anthony Smith, a University of Michigan graduate who is one of the organizers of “Campus Slackers.” Highlining and slacklining are very similar to tightrope walking.

Smith is another individual who is no stranger to extreme activities. He said he enjoys skydiving, base-jumping, rock climbing, canyoneering, motorcycle riding and cliff diving.

Smith said he got the inspiration to highline across the gap on Mt. Lemmon from a YouTube video.

“That was a video I saw and I said ‘I am doing that,’” Smith said.

Johnson hopes to complete a “one knee dip” out on the middle of the line, if she makes it out there, she said.

The group is anticipating four to 10 people to attempt the gap, with others attending just to watch, according to Smith. The group is planning on starting at approximately 1:30 p.m.

Participants will be wearing harnesses that are attached to a safety line while attempting the gap, Smith said. There will also be a UA medical student onsite with medical supplies, as well as Smith, who received medical training in the Marine Corps.

Alex McIntyre, a molecular and cellular biology freshman, is a member of “Campus Slackers” and has attempted the gap before. He said attempting the gap is “pretty crazy.”

“It is just a matter of overcoming your head if you are up there. It is not really any different safety wise than here,” McIntyre said. “You just have to just kind of walk it out and do it.”

In leaving the decision up to the businesses, Kavanagh said he is no longer definitively stating that it would be considered a crime if a transgendered person enters a facility that is not designated for the gender on their birth certificate, nor should people feel the need to carry around birth certificates to use public restrooms.

“I am getting government out of this business completely on both sides of the issue,” Kavanagh said. “I am simply going to say that no local government can pass a law that deals

with granting transgendered people any automatic access to restrooms other than their own biological gender.”

The UA’s Statement on Restroom Access supports “a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender identity … that allows individuals to use the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity.”

The bill as it was originally proposed would have nullified the nondiscrimination policy, said Jennifer Hoefle-Olsen, the program director for LGBTQ Affairs.

“The bill as I have read it up until these changes has the potential to nullify the [Statement on Restroom Access], and that is extremely problematic for transgender individuals who have the right to determine for themselves what bathroom is most fitting for them to

“It’s important to bring it up to the forefront of people’s minds,” said Jonathan Alden, a finance junior and LAB member. “There are people less fortunate than we are and if we don’t help them then who is?”

Though LAB focuses on the financial aspect, Singh said all majors could find a way to be involved.

“There’s more to poverty than just finances,” Singh said. “They have health care needs and education needs, other things that factor into their lives that people don’t think about.”

GARDEN

in garden activities, students learn to improve anger management and cooperation in group projects.

Ochoa Elementary staff said they hope to include music education into the program through the inclusion of a garden outside of the classroom.

Sophia Jones, a geography and environmental studies senior and an intern for the program, develops math lessons for students. One of the goals is to introduce math to students, which will extend beyond the classroom and into practical situations, such as measuring the planting space for a watermelon.

“It’s rewarding to work with the children. They make you think about things you normally wouldn’t,” Jones said. “When you see how excited they are about working in the garden, the work seems even more exciting. I feel I can teach better when I am learning things from them.”

Brandon Iker, a doctoral student in water, soil and environmental sciences, highlights the program’s potential by looking at the bigger picture. His work lies in the development of the gardens, contributing to projects in schools like Manzo, which is looking to add a native pollinator garden this year.

Iker said his vision for the future is to expand into a K-12 entrance program, which would prepare students to pursue majors in ecology or environmental studies.

By starting early, programs like these raise awareness in communities lacking access to healthier foods and provide a better understanding of how to solve these issues, Iker said.

“This is about informing the kids on the source of their food and integrating basic education into it,” Iker said. “These communities need to have fresh food and you can’t get that in the back of a truck. It’s cool to see skilled, trained individuals making change and you create a perfect storm of people with similar ambitions.”

With the program’s recent growth, Marston said opportunities that have opened up present learning through a mutual process.

“Each garden is different — different kids, different space, different neighborhoods — but every one enables the kids to feel confident that they can learn,” said Marston. “These kids have realized that they don’t have to be experts to make change in their communities.”

Time to refocus ethnic studies Nathaniel Drake Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

fter more than three years of challenges to the Arizona House Bill 2281, a federal court judge ruled earlier this month that the bulk of the law is constitutional. The bill, backed strongly by Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, was designed to ban the ethnic studies program in Arizona.

The locally based Save Ethnic Studies Group is considering challenging the law again in the Ninth Circuit of Court of Appeals, but this would be a horrible waste of effort and resources.

Instead, Arizona should focus on creating a comprehensive curriculum that teaches ethnic studies in all history and literature courses instead of only in a select few.

HB 2281 states that schools cannot teach courses that are “designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group” and that doing so can promote resentment toward other races.

The judge ruled that teaching courses for only one ethnic group was “unconstitutionally vague,” but the rest of the law was accepted, effectively banning the ethnic studies program in Arizona schools.

The program had already been suspended in January 2012 because Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal had ordered that 10 percent of the district’s monthly state aid be withheld until the district complied with the law. The total withholdings would have been more than $1 million each month.

Teaching a diverse curriculum has obvious benefits. The Tucson Unified School District, for example, has reported that students in the ethnic studies classes had lower dropout rates and higher standardized test scores than students who were not enrolled in these courses. We should be able to teach Mexican-American studies in an American history class and still keep students interested.

Perhaps even more importantly, teaching the history of cultural conflict lends critical insight into modern-day conflicts. Reading literature from different cultures helps students to think critically about relevant issues that pervade today’s political discourse.

Exploring another culture promotes understanding between different ethnic groups.

Removing ethnic education from Tucson, or any other school district, would be foolish. Continuing to challenge the law instead of creating real solutions is foolish.

The ethnic studies that were previously taught in an isolated program should be incorporated into every history and literature class. The topics are relevant, and when taught objectively as part of a carefully planned curriculum, are legal.

There is no reason for this information to be taught separately from American history or American literature. Ethnic studies aren’t just valuable for Mexican-Americans, Asian-Americans, AfricanAmericans and Native Americans; they teach a curriculum full of relevant issues that are valuable for all Americans.

The Save Ethnic Studies Group has already lost with the political game. Now it’s time for it to refocus and create real solutions that will benefit every student attending public schools in Arizona.

guest column

Deportation not the answer Murphy Woodhouse Guest Columnist

This guest column is in response to “Immigration reform does not mean ending deportation” (by David Weissman, March 21):

T

here’s hate, and then there’s uninformed hate. David Weissman’s recent op-ed on undocumented immigration is a clear example of the latter.

Indeed, most of the numbers he calls to his defense come from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), which is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and whose founder, John Tanton, is a proud white supremacist. I took issue with most of Weissman’s piece, but because of space constraints I will only address two of the author’s most noxious views.

The first: “This country is built on immigrants — legal ones.” This is just tired, nativist rhetoric, and also dead wrong. Take large-scale agriculture: It is estimated that at least half of the seasonal workforce that picks this country’s fruits and vegetables is undocumented.

Twelve percent of restaurant workers are undocumented.

In construction, an industry whose primary task is literally to “build America,” 17 percent of the workforce is undocumented,

according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. I wonder if Weissman is aware of the degree to which his daily existence is dependent on “illegals.”

I think perhaps he meant to use the past tense: “This country was built on immigrants — legal ones.”

But even this is wrong. In the notso-distant past, the United StatesMexico border that the author wants to see even more militarized, was criss-crossed countless times without authorization by tens of thousands of people going to mine, build railroads, harvest crops, etc.

“To build this country,” in other words.

Borders have been essentially open for most of this country’s history and it was not until the stepwise criminalization of unlawful entry in the early 20th century, coupled with the creation of the Border Patrol, that the subject of the “illegal immigrant” meaningfully came into existence.

Even after Border Patrol was created, one of its principal tasks was to manage undocumented workers, not prevent their entrance into the country. This was most starkly illustrated by the Braceroera practice of “drying out the wetbacks,” in which agents would take “illegal” immigrants to the border, have them take one step over the line, and then allow them to return to the fields “legally.”

Your views In response to “Guest column: Bathroom bill could affect transgender students, sending AZ politics down toilet again” (By Dani Dobrusin, March 20): I have not seen the actual language of the bill but based on other news reports, it requires someone to use the toilet appropriate to the sex on the person’s birth certificate.

A number of states refuse to change the sex on birth certificates. Does that condemn transsexual women to using the men’s room for the rest of their lives due to having been born in Ohio (to name one)?

I made the male to female transition in the 1980s and have been post-genital surgery for over 25 years. For that time I have lived and worked as myself, have traveled extensively in the US and abroad as myself, and been in a committed relationship. And some moron in the Arizona Legislature thinks I should use the men’s room?

— Patty in Portland The problem with asking for papers to show proof of gender is that it is a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.

That being said, I understand why a parent wouldn’t want a person that was born as a man, but identifies as a woman in the girls locker room with them.

As a parent it is your responsibility to protect your children and you need to be aware of potential dangers for your child. I know that all transgender persons are not sex offenders.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings.

Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

Given this history, it really doesn’t make sense to apply the legal/ illegal dichotomy to immigrants before the early 20th century. But historical nuance is rarely the forte of nativists.

The second: “In 1980, federal and state prisons housed fewer than 9,000 undocumented immigrant criminals. Today, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, 55,000 immigrants account for one-fourth of prisoners in federal prisons.” It’s been quite some time since I’ve read a more contextless fact.

It is indeed the case that undocumented immigrants now represent an extraordinary proportion of the federal prison population. However, by presenting it this way, the author seems to hope the reader concludes that undocumented migrants have become significantly more criminal, presumably preying upon the decent white folk that people the suburban dreamlands of nativist utopias more frequently.

But this would be wrong. Rather, the dramatic rise is explained by the recent unprecedented criminalization of undocumented folks, which has proceeded largely through increased criminal prosecution of illegal entry and reentry and the steady expansion of the legal category “aggravated felony.” Indeed, when

you look at the U.S. Government Accountability Office study that is the source of the 55,000 figure, you will see that the top three crimes committed by so-called “criminal aliens” were immigration infractions (65 percent), drug offenses (48 percent) and traffic violations (39 percent).

Not exactly hardened criminals.

These were also the top three convictions of fully two-thirds of all 188,382 so-called “criminal removals” in fiscal year 2011.

Before singing the praises of mass deportation again, I would encourage Weissman to spend an afternoon in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico listening to the stories of recent deportees. Maybe then he would learn that behind words like “illegals” and “criminal aliens” are complex lives upended by one of our country’s most dramatic, disturbing and far-reaching policies.

As for the Daily Wildcat, a newspaper based at a leading public university, I would encourage its editorial staff to reach out to the dozens of professors and students with more edifying things to say about this critical issue.

I do know that when there is a law that allows someone to use any restroom that they want, dangerous people can potentially abuse that law.

I wouldn’t want my wife to take my little girl to the pool and walk into the changing room to see a man disrobe because he identifies as a woman. That is not something that a child should have to deal with.

I think that it would be perfectly acceptable for a transgender person to use the single occupant multi-sex bathroom until they get a sex change and can use the appropriate restroom. I don’t see this as discriminatory but transitory.

— Brian In response to “Immigration reform does not mean ending deportation” (By David Weissman, March 20): This article is well-written and I support the push for a conversation about immigration reform. However, the comments on this article show why we can never have a debate about immigration reform.

Opposing illegal immigration means that you are a racist and we are all immigrants because we stole the land from the Native Americans, so on and so on.

Where there things done to Native Americans and immigrants that were wrong? Yes. Are we all immigrants or descendants of immigrants? Yes. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t have a debate about immigration.

You do not fall directly into the political category of conservative because you oppose illegal immigration and you aren’t a liberal if you support illegal immigration.

Let’s focus on the real issues. Why do people immigrate? For a better life. If the rest of the world was similar to the U.S., would people die trying to come here? I don’t think so. So let’s talk about the issues and stop throwing around the word “racist” when we disagree with someone.

POLICE BEAT MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Alcohol abuse

Two UA students were cited and released for minor in possession after police received a report about a bleeding man yelling through a window at Coconino Residence Hall at 2:10 a.m. on March 21.

University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to the dorm, where a man was yelling, “Someone is going to die.”

The man was described as a thin, white man with blond hair, wearing a white shirt. When police spoke to him, the student was “very upset,” due to a small laceration above his left eye.

The man, who showed signs of intoxication, said a door that was opening struck him, causing him to bleed.

UAPD officers then spoke with the reporting party, a woman who said she accidentally hit the man with the door. Due to the man’s intoxication, he believed it was done on purpose, she added.

Before the police officers arrived, the man yelled, “I will fuck you up, I will mess you up,” according to the woman.

The man and the woman both agreed to breath tests.

The test revealed the man and woman had alcohol in their bodies.

“But I’m 21, bro,” the student told the officer, before showing him a fake California driver’s license. The card, which had a photo of the student, who’s from Oregon, had a false birthday on it, police noted.

The two students were then cited for minor in possession — liquor in body, while the man was also cited for possession of a false license, before both being released.

Nose knows

A marijuana odor coming from a third-floor room in the Posada San Pedro Residence Hall resulted in a referral to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation issued to a student at 12:10 a.m. on March 21.

UAPD officers met with a resident assistant who escorted officers to the hallway where the smell was coming from.

Police then knocked on the door, and a student granted officers permission to enter.

Upon walking inside the room, officers noted a smell of marijuana, but as their conversation with the student continued, the odor became “less and less strong,” according to the report.

The student told police he had smoked outside of the dorm with a group of friends, but that the substance was not present in the room. Police then searched his room but did not find any marijuana. However, they found two packs of rolling papers and a lighter, which were seized and submitted for evidence.

Old friends clash on court

harry E. Walker/mcclatchy tribune

Ohio State head coach Thad Matta walks the sidelines against Kansas in last season’s NCAA Tournament semifinals. Matta and the Buckeyes face Arizona in the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday at 4:47 p.m.

arizona Daily Wildcat file photo

ARIZONA HEAD COACH Sean Miller celebrates a play by the Wildcats in a win over USC. Miller called Ohio State head coach Thad Matta “his best friend” in Monday’s press conference.

Ohio State head coach Thad Matta and Arizona head man Sean Miller’s relationship makes Thursday’s Sweet Sixteen matchup more interesting kyle johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat

W

hen the NCAA Tournament field was set, head coach Sean Miller and Ohio State coach Thad Matta had a conversation over the phone.

Arizona, a No. 6-seed, and Ohio State, a No. 2-seed, were both in the bottom half of the West region. The potential was there for a Sweet Sixteen matchup in Los Angeles between the longtime friends.

Miller said it was “wishful thinking,” as they both knew the unpredictable nature of March Madness.

The pieces fell into place. Now, Miller and the Wildcats will be going up against the Buckeyes and Matta, who Miller said he considers his best friend. “[Matta is] certainly my best friend in coaching and a guy that means a lot to me,” Miller said. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him.”

Miller and Matta’s friendship began in 1994 when the two were assistant coaches on Herb Sendek’s staff at Miami University in Ohio.

The two shared a “very tiny office” in Oxford, Ohio, and actually won a tournament game together, ironically, against Lute Olson’s Arizona Wildcats in 1995 as the No. 12-seeded RedHawks upset No. 5-seed Arizona 71-62 in Dayton, Ohio.

Following their jobs at Oxford, they took different paths. Miller took assistant coaching jobs at North

Carolina State and Pittsburgh, while Matta was an assistant coach and head coach at Butler. But, when Matta was hired as Xavier’s head coach in 2001, he hired Miller to work with him as the school’s first-ever associate head coach.

Then Matta left for Ohio State in 2004, and Miller replaced him as the Musketeers’ boss.

“Thad [Matta] is just a very unique person,” Miller said. “He has that quality where you want to follow him. I think that’s one of the many reasons why he’s such a great coach — the players on his team love to play for him. He has a way of making things fun. He’s also one of the most competitive people that I’ve ever met.”

Now the paths are intertwining yet again, this time with a berth in the Elite Eight on the line.

“He’s one of the best, if not the best, right now coaching,” Miller said. “I think his team really reflects that.”

Ohio State entered the season as a national championship contender, and not much has changed. The Buckeyes have won 10 games in a row, including the Big Ten conference championship.

Compared with Arizona’s opening two NCAA games against Harvard and Belmont, OSU will be a much tougher challenge.

Thursday will be just the second time Matta and Miller have squared off. And if last time was any indication, fans should be in for quite a game.

Passalaqua challenges herself in heptathlon SCARLETT MCCOURT Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

rack athletes usually focus on one type of event: Throwers compete in the shot put, the javelin, the discus. Jumpers compete in the high jump or the long jump. Sprinters compete in short distances and distance runners compete in long distances.

But junior Amber Passalaqua focuses on not one, but all of these events — she’s a heptathlete.

The heptathlon competition takes place over two days. On day one, the heptathletes compete in 100-meter hurdles, high jump, shotput and the 200-meter dash. On the second day, they finish the competition with long jump, javelin and the 800-meter run.

Heptathletes receive points for each event they compete in. Different marks and heights are worth a certain number of points depending on the difficulty of the event. For example, the throwing events are considered easier. Therefore, athletes receive fewer points for a better mark.

Passalaqua wasn’t always a heptathlete, though.

During high school, in Pine Bush, N.Y., Passalaqua was a hurdler and a high jumper. She also competed in the 4x400 relay. After all of the girls in her relay graduated, Passalaqua said, her coach asked her to participate in the pentathlon, which is a series of five events.

“Where I’m from, you have pentathlons in high school, whereas in a lot of states you don’t get that opportunity,” Passalaqua said. “So I tried it and ended up being good. I won state my junior and senior year. Then I just started to get recruited as a multi for college. It kind of fell into place that way.”

Passalaqua was recruited to Syracuse University, but after her coach left, she found a new home at the UA, where she is currently the only heptathlete.

Because Passalaqua is the only heptathlete, she trains with men’s decathletes. Her training is more rigorous than the other track athletes, because as most athletes focus on one or two events, Passalaqua focuses on seven.

As a result, Passalaqua said she spends double the time training than the other athletes.

“On a regular day for me, I’ll warm up,” Passalaqua said. “I’ll do a throwing event, so I’ll do shot put. I’ll do long jump. And then I’ll do hurdles. And then maybe I’ll do either a sprinting endurance workout or mid-

In 2007, No. 1-seed Ohio State, led by future pros, Greg Oden and Mike Conley, was pushed to the brink by Miller’s No. 9-seed Xavier. The Buckeyes eventually prevailed, but only after a last-second three by OSU’s Ron Lewis sent the game into overtime.

Miller described it as “one of the great games in the NCAA Tournament over the last 10 years” and CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish agreed, ranking it as the 10thbest NCAA tournament game in the last decade.

Ohio State doesn’t quite have a Conley or Oden on its roster this time around, but it does have a talented pair of juniors in point guard Aaron Craft and versatile forward DeShaun Thomas.

“With that friendship and respect that they have for each other, I think coach [Miller] will prepare us even more for [Ohio State],” forward Solomon Hill said.

When the ball finally tips off at 4:47 p.m., friendship will be put aside. Matta is in his fourth-straight Sweet Sixteen and looking for another trip to the Final Four; Miller has a chance to return to his second Elite Eight in three seasons.

But once the final buzzer sounds and the emotions slowly settle down, no matter what the outcome, Miller will have something to take away from it.

“If I were to lose in this round, not that I’d go as far as saying I wouldn’t mind, but I always pull for him and hope he does well,” Miller said.

Because of this grueling physical strain, Passalaqua said that multi-event athletes tend to get hurt often and spend a lot of time in the training room.

“If you’re not prepared going into a heptathlon, that’s a lot on your body, so you won’t make it through,” Passalaqua said. “Usually when we go to meets, three or four girls will pull out halfway through the heptathlon because they get injured or they do don’t do well in an event and they don’t want to finish.”

The biggest challenge about being a heptathlete, Passalaqua said, is the mental aspect. Because every event in the heptathlon contributes to the final score, a bad performance in one competition can’t affect the next competition.

“You have to refocus every single event,” Passalaqua said. “You can’t take a bad event and take it to the next one. You have to re-gather yourself and refocus.”

Whyte looks to Draft for silver lining LUKE DELLA Arizona Daily Wildcat

F

our years go by fast. For women’s basketball senior Davellyn Whyte, it hasn’t quite set in that her career as a Wildcat is over following the team’s 66-48 loss to Utah in the Pac-12 tournament.

Arizona’s second all-time leading scorer, with 2,059 career points has had a bumpy four years.

Being one of the greatest women’s basketball players in school history certainly hasn’t been easy, but she said she reflects on her time in Tucson with no regrets.

“Looking back, when I was freshman, I didn’t see it all happening this fast,” Whyte said. “Some things went the way they were supposed to [and] some didn’t, but I’m happy with how everything ended because it all happened for a reason.”

Though Whyte finished her Wildcat career in the top-10 of 14 all-time Arizona career statistics, her 2010-11 sophomore season was the only year the Wildcats finished a season with a winning record while Whyte was a member of the team. That same year, Arizona made it to the women’s college basketball NIT tournament, which was Whyte’s only postseason experience.

Every year, Whyte said it seemed coaches and players were rotating in and out of the program.

“It was hard making constant adjustments so I just went out there and played my game,” Whyte said. “Once I was out on the court, it was kind of freeing and none of that stuff affected my game.”

Whyte was the first recruit by head coach Niya Butts, who managed to persuade the 2009 Gatorade Arizona High School Player of the year to attend the UA. “She’s become a real leader on and off court,” Butts said about Whyte. “She’s grown up so much in just four years.”

Whyte said she doesn’t remember her feelings early in her college career, but she never would have guessed it would have ended as it did.

Whyte immediately jumped onto the scene when she dropped 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds in her first colligate game against Iona College in 2009.

The opening game would just be the beginning for the eventual four-time All-Pac-12 selectee. Whyte would go on to start in all 126 games she played in, scoring over 20 points in 35 of those games.

The 126 games though would go by fast and before she knew it, Whyte was walking off the court at Seattle’s KeyArena following the team’s first round exit in the 2013 Pac-12 conference tournament.

“Before the game, it was on my mind that this could be it, but once I was out on the court I was just focused on the game,” Whyte said.

Arizona was eliminated by Utah as the Utes sunk 12 3-pointers in their 66-48 victory over the Wildcats.

“It sucked,” Whyte said. “Especially since it was a team we should have beat and had already beaten twice this year. After the game in the locker room, it kind of sunk in.”

Now, almost three weeks later, Whyte said it still hasn’t sunk in that she will soon be trading in a Wildcats jersey for a professional one. “[Playing in the WNBA] has always been a goal of mine so now I’m doing my best to showcase my skills while most of the girls are still playing [in the tournament],” Whyte said. “It kind of sucks that I’m here not playing, but there are some camps I will go to. But whatever happens, happens.”

The WNBA Draft consists of three rounds

SENIOR GUARD Davellyn Whyte drives to the basket in a loss against UCLA. Whyte is projected to be drafted in the second round in April’s WNBA Draft.

of 12 teams. Only first-round draft picks are guaranteed a roster spot while second and third round selectees still have to work in training camp for a roster spot.

Whyte, who in many mock drafts is a secondround selection, said she is optimistic about the draft but has backup plans of playing overseas in France with former teammates if the WNBA doesn’t work out.

Whyte will learn if she’s been drafted April 15, but for now, she said she will use these final months to soak it all in and reflect on her short but memorable time as a Wildcat.

“It’s been a roller coaster,” Whyte said, looking back on her time as a Wildcat. “Not to say it’s been bad, but there have been up and down moments and even though it seems like just yesterday I started, I’m proud of myself for riding it through and giving it my all.”

Washington closed the door in the sixth with a tworun home run to make it 8-3.

Junior Estela Piñon started the game for Arizona and allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits while walking two and striking out one in two innings pitched. Junior Shelby Babcock relieved after pitching a complete game in Sunday’s victory and allowed five runs on six hits while walking two and striking out two in four innings. Freshman Nancy Bowling closed out the game giving up a walk in one innings pitched. Throughout the game, Arizona pitchers combined for five walks.

Q How does drinking lead

to hallucinations?

A. condition that occurs in a small percentage of problem You are likely referring to alcoholic hallucinosis, a

drinkers who are going through withdrawal. Hallucinations are not necessarily dangerous in this case, but one should seek medical care for alcohol withdrawal as other symptoms such as seizures can be life threatening. This process occurs in people who have been drinking for many years, and is not generally seen in the college-age population. Though occasionally drinkers will experience a hallucination, alcohol by itself does not cause one to hallucinate.

What exactly is a hallucination? The clinical definition is that it’s a perception in the absence of a stimulus and can occur in any sensory area: visual, auditory, tactile or olfactory (smell) are the most common. In other words, you “see” something that isn’t there, “hear” things that no one else hears or “feel” insects crawling on your skin.

What causes hallucinations? Hallucinations occur when environmental, emotional, or physical factors cause the mechanism within the brain that helps to distinguish conscious perceptions from internal, memory-based perceptions to misfire. Hypotheses include a disturbance of brain structure or neurotransmitters. A mild form of hallucination is known as a disturbance, and includes things like seeing movement in peripheral vision, or hearing faint noises and/or voices. This is a more common experience than a full-blown hallucination.

WATCH MARCH

MADNESS AT

SKY BAR

One thing to keep in mind is that hallucinations can occur as a function of a psychiatric disorder and these tend to begin in the teens and early twenties, just when adolescents are likely to begin drinking. It’s not unusual to try to “self-medicate” away the symptoms of a mental health problem, but in fact, drinking only complicates the symptoms. Hallucinations can also occur as a result of extreme fatigue or stress.

Drug-induced hallucinations are an entirely different column topic.

Myth buster: the alcoholic beverage Absinthe does not cause hallucinations.

Change up your watch game AMY JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

W

hile winter was short here in Arizona, the return of spring marks the time for livelier trends. Bold patterns and color blocking are an obvious trend for spring, beckoning the call for a switch-up of your usual attire. But with this shift comes a specific attention to detail, for which your wrist wear should not be neglected.

Start out the season by swapping your heavy leather wristband for one made of nylon. The material is new to the scene compared to its stainless steel counterpart, but it has instantly become a staple for spring wrist wear.

The material is light and as the temperatures border on the edge of the triple digits, nylon will allow your skin to breathe.

Introducing this wrist wear into your everyday will break up the basic and dull colors that are still left over from winter.

Nixon recently introduced its take on nylon bands for the spring. While the company is known for its overcompensating, large face watches, there is an obvious sense of minimalism in the new line.

Showcasing this style is The Quad. With bold stripes, patterns or solid tones in ballistic nylon, this collection is as versatile as it is durable.

Pro surfer John John Florence aided in the inspiration behind the watch, as the second hand is reminiscent of the fins of a surfboard. The clean-cut and low profile structure of the face and bezel are juxtaposed against the vibrant colors of the band, making it a staple for springtime wear.

Fossil gave its standard Ansel collection a springtime revamp with the introduction of nylon bands. With interchangeable straps, this watch also boasts a sense of versatility that rivals Nixon’s. Vertical stripes of red, navy and sky blue exude a more modern style, while the contrast of a cream face with dark Roman numerals gives the watch a vintage feel.

Timex has teamed up with stores like J.Crew and Urban Outfitters to offer a wide variety of nylon watches. For those in favor of the more traditional styles, stick with Timex’s Intelligent Quartz Compass, while the hipster crowd might enjoy the Weekender.

You can almost never go wrong with a nylon band, so long as you stick to a style you feel comfortable with. Be sure to venture into some bold colors for the spring in order to complement items such as chambray or pastel colored shorts. Spring should always be about keeping things light and airy.

ALBUM REVIEW

‘Spring Breakers’ soundtrack helps maintain film’s WTF factor K.C. LIBMAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

F

or a film that’s been subject to hotly discussed controversy, Harmony Korine’s “Spring Breakers” has an accompanying score that is just as radical as the movie itself.

In typical Korine shock-andawe fashion, the “Spring Breakers” soundtrack is just as eclectic as the film’s cast, spring-break-gone-bad storyline and enigmatic director.

The soundtrack is the perfect score for the blatant and upending hedonism that Korine’s work is known for. The artists range from the once-omnipresent Skrillex to Gucci Mane to Ellie Goulding, with scoring handled by Cliff Martinez, the man responsible for the perfectly pared down, 2011 “Drive” soundtrack.

Meek Mill, French Montana and Rick Ross’ “Big Bank” lends some serious street cred to the record, with Ross’ yawping, lumbering flow just as suitable for a pregame as it is for a gunfight.

And then there’s James Franco and Floridian rapper Dangeruss on “Hangin’ With da Dopeboys.”

As if Franco, the UCLA professor and Academy Award nominee, didn’t have enough to his name, he drops a verse on the trap-heavy Dangeruss track that could make a number of rappers blush.

While Franco may not be the next Waka Flocka Flame, it’s hard

to separate both his performance and Dangeruss’ flow from that of Riff Raff, the mega-viral rapper who was rumored to play Franco’s character, Alien, in the film prior to Franco coming onboard.

“Hangin’ With da Dopeboys” could just as easily be an early cut of Riff Raff ’s, as Dangeruss sounds like a slightly rough version of a purposefully unpolished rapper.

Dangeruss might have found his break while sounding as if he could eventually find a niche in the same wheelhouse as Gunplay, but only time will tell.

Yet as he did with “Drive,” Martinez’s scoring is the shining feature of the film. While his work has drawn comparisons to Johnny Jewel of art-house label, Italians Do It Better, whose own “Drive” soundtrack was snubbed in favor of Martinez’s, Martinez utilizes simple synth lines and ambient textures that have become his signature scoring style. The dynamic between tracks like Waka Flocka Flame’s “Fuck This Industry” and Martinez’s work is a broad one, but like Korine’s directorial approach, this range is nothing but complementary to “Spring Breakers.”

It’s erratic and radical, but if anything, the soundtrack is nothing but unadulterated fun for the spring break set.
