UA ASTRONOMER TAKES A CRACK AT EUROPA’S ICE

The Arizona Senate passed its version of the state budget last week, which included less funding for the UA than was requested by Gov. Jan Brewer.

Brewer announced the proposed outline for the 2015 fiscal year budget in January, which gave the UA $3.5 million in additional funding for 2015.

After the budget proposal passed through the Senate, that number is smaller, now amounting to $2.5 million in additional funding to be used solely for the Cooperative Extension Program.

This funding proposal is less than 10 percent of what the UA had originally requested, which was $34.8 million. That amount was what the Arizona Board of Regents, the state of Arizona’s higher education governing board, concluded was adequate funding for the UA for 2015.

In a press release regarding the Senate’s budget, Eileen I. Klein, president of the board of regents, thanked the Senate for the $2.5 million for the Cooperative Extension programs, but expressed the need for a funding plan for

The UA is developing a new religious accommodation policy to better reflect existing state and federal laws.

The UA policy, drafted by the Office of Institutional Equity, is currently under an eight-week review process that ends on May 9.

The review period is used as a time for students and UA employees to voice comments or inquiries about the policy to the OIE. This is part of the UA’s formal policy adoption process, and the policy will likely go into effect shortly after the end of the review period.

However, according to Mary Beth Tucker, director of the OIE, in many ways, this is not a new policy. Religious freedom is a civil right protected under the U.S.

Sun Tran is seeking feedback for its proposed fare increases and service changes.

An open house will be held on Wednesday in the Student Union Memorial Center in the Kiva Room to discuss the changes.

Following a short information session, students and faculty will be encouraged to ask questions and submit a feedback form regarding the proposed changes.

An online survey is also available for those who cannot attend the event.

Bill Davidson, manager of public information and marketing at Parking and Transportation Services at the UA, said it is important for students and faculty to give feedback because about 3,000 users have purchased annual passes from PTS. Service changes include alterations to the times the Sun Tran picks up on certain routes, additional stops and the merging or splitting of some routes. The document outlines the routes that could experience changes and allows users of the Sun Tran to know if their daily route could be affected.

Fare increases appear in another document on the Sun Tran website, which states the current fare, how it will change in the 2015 fiscal year and how it may change in the future up to 2025. Two of the three options would increase full fare rates by $0.25, to $1.75, for 2015. The three options include increases to $2 or more to be implemented by the 2025 fiscal year.

“It’s nice to have the consolidation and sharing of resources of the universities all in one place,” Bravo said.

Bravo said relocating the campus will create a greater education presence in downtown, especially with Arizona State University undergraduate students downtown.

“It’s just nice to have more students downtown,” Bravo said. “I think that adds to the energy.”

Bravo said that he thinks one of the factors behind the decision to relocate the Eller College campus was the Phoenix economy.

“I also think they’re looking to benefit from being in the middle of the city, in the middle of the economic center of Phoenix,” Bravo said.

Bravo also said he believes that the UA medical students downtown could benefit from the presence of the Eller College campus. “[The medical campus sees] a cooperation — a partnership — educationally down the road,” Bravo said. “We would love to expose our medical students to some of the

Arizona universities in the future.

“Arizona’s public universities still lack a clear funding path for the future,” Klein said. “Proposals requested by the Legislature to fund the universities based on meeting performance metrics that benefit the state have largely been ignored.”

Klein added that the UA is entering its sixth year of receiving no additional funding for its main campus.

“The support from the state has gone down,” said Lynn Nadel, chair of the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee. “If we don’t get it from the state, then we have to take it from student tuition, which makes it a lot harder for students.”

Nadel said that budgeting within the UA has changed dramatically from a few years ago.

“It used to be that the state covered something like 65 percent of the cost of the university and what it takes to run the university,” Nadel said.

“Then the UA covered the rest of the costs, about 35 percent, from tuition — now it’s exactly the reverse.”

In order to do what the UA does best, which is teaching students and preparing them for the future, Nadel said, the university depends on getting sufficient funding from the state.

Schau also said that several Eller College students have expressed interests in health care and business.

In a press release, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said that he is looking forward to having the Eller College campus relocate to downtown Phoenix.

“Eller graduates are top-notch, and exactly the kind of professionals we want as a part of our community,” Stanton said.

Schau spoke highly of the downtown area and said that she is excited to see an increase in the UA’s presence there.

“I am so thrilled that they have allowed us to have a partnership that we think will be pretty substantial in the years to come,” Schau said.

Young said.

To many riders, the proposed changes may seem random, Davidson said, but they are based on a Comprehensive Operational Analysis completed by a transit task force in February. In this analysis, routes and fares were studied thoroughly, on-board surveys of riders were conducted and the Sun Tran was compared to similar

transportation in equivalent-sized cities with large universities.

“It’s impossible to run the university without adequate funding,” Nadel said.

State Rep. Ethan Orr (R-District 9) said he is actively working to increase funding for the UA and believes that it will receive more than what was proposed. Orr is also the vice chairman for the Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee.

“I have been negotiating for the past two-and-a-half days straight to improve funding for the UA,” Orr said.

Morgan Abraham, an engineering management senior and president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said that although this budget is not official, if it were to pass it would create significant changes at the UA. “If it goes through, it’s going to have a huge impact on the UA’s ability to meet admissions and ABOR 2020 goals,” Abraham said. “Money has to flow to the UA for it to be able to function.”

Abraham said that the two major ways the UA receives funding are from the state and the students, so students would feel an impact.

“If the state decides that they don’t want to fund higher education, then that’s a direct correlation that our tuition goes up,” Abraham said.

Students run for their lives, charity sponsor the event because it is always looking to help the Tucson community, and believes the charity run raises money for a good cause.

Members from the dental clinic will be giving away toothbrushes and teaching kids how to brush their teeth properly, according to Bustamante.

Seeing students find time to help the community on top of their schoolwork is also great, Bustamante added.

“Students have a lot on their plate,” Bustamante said, “and them actually taking the time to do something like this, to help their community, says a lot about who they are.”

Chastain said that having students donate and volunteer their time to Hope Fest shows that they are leaders in the community and teaches the students life lessons.

“School is difficult enough, but when they’re also so civic-minded, community-minded. that they want to not only do their student duties, but they also want to give back to the community, it shows outstanding leadership skills,” Chastain said. “So we were blown away when they first came to us and said that they wanted to do this.”

UA students will promote health and fitness this Saturday while helping marginalized, underprivileged and underserved community members.

The Student Health Advocacy Committee, a student-run group that promotes health and wellness, will host its eighth annual Run For Your Life 5K fundraiser this Saturday, where participants will walk or run laps around the UA Mall. Proceeds from the event are donated directly to Tucson Hope Fest, a local event held in October that helps about 20,000 underserved Tucsonans by providing them with medical and dental care as well as clothes, groceries and haircuts.

Run For Your Life is a way for SHAC to promote its mission while encouraging students to be involved in the community, said Stephanie Kha, director of SHAC and a biochemistry junior.

“This run is more than just physical health, and it’s more than just raising money — it’s a combination of both,” Kha said. “We want to fuel [students] with the desire to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.”

The money raised through Run For Your Life pays for flu vaccinations offered at Hope Fest, Kha said. Lisa Chastain, executive director of Hope Network, Inc., the community outreach organization that hosts Hope Fest, said there are limited options for even discounted flu vaccinations in Tucson every year, and that she’s grateful that SHAC’s donations from the run can help the organization offer that service.

While the run is in its eighth year, this will be the fourth year SHAC donates the proceeds to Hope Fest. In the past three years, the

It also included a clause prohibiting retaliation and stated that it was the responsibility of each institution to ensure the policy was

In 2009, the regents repealed the Religious Accommodation policy, Board Policy 1-110, in favor of a more general nondiscrimination and antiharassment policy.

The policy regarding Accommodation of Religious Observance and Practice currently listed on the Dean of Students website is the repealed regents’ policy, Tucker said. She added that the policy drafted by the OIE does not change the current standard of Religious Accommodation.

“The university wanted to have a policy statement so that if people weren’t aware of the laws on this topic, there was a university policy that reflects federal and state law,” Tucker said.

Tesla electric cars shock for fogeys only

BY ERIC KLUMP The Daily Wildcat

T

here are three boxes to check when considering if a car is great: design, innovation and build quality. Good cars check one box, great cars check two and the few excellent cars fill all three. They are pioneering, well-built and beautifully designed.

Tesla’s Model S is one of those rare cars.

Its long, sleek, full-sized design stands out against bloated competitors, and it can travel up to 300 miles in a charge, a range far beyond any of its rivals. For these reasons, and many more, the Model S has earned Consumer Reports’ Best Overall in 2014 and received a 99/100 on the overall road test.

Most importantly, the Tesla Model S is an American car — as in, designed and built here, not just headquartered.

Considering that so few companies build in the U.S., and how often we hear both sides of the aisle call for more American manufacturing jobs, the success of Tesla Motors has, surprisingly, repeatedly been met with skepticism and restrictions.

Why are dealerships so eager to fight against a small boutique automaker?

Tesla’s desire to sell its cars directly to customers and cut franchise car dealerships out has drawn most of the blowback from pundits and auto-dealers.

But Tesla CEO Elon Musk has expressed no radical interest in overhauling the dealership structure, only in providing direct sales to the consumer.

Still, dealership networks are fighting Tesla by lobbying state governments to inhibit its ability to do business. Right now, Teslas are banned for sale in Arizona and face restrictions in six other, mostly Republican-led, states.

Dealerships are threatened not by Tesla’s appeal — a brand consumers have expressed interest in — but by a future in which customers flock toward an option that gives them more control in how they buy, and less worry about dealer markups: a revolutionary new system with no room for middlemen.

Further, Tesla, and electric cars in general, threaten maintenance as a major source of cash flow, as Marcus Wohlsen explains in a piece for Wired.

“Teslas don’t have any of the parts that force you to take your car in for ‘regularly scheduled maintenance’ — services that can cost dearly at the dealer,” he writes.

“It’s hard to charge for an oil change when there’s no oil to be changed.” Wohlson adds that Tesla’s use of prepaid warranties would hurt the traditional dealership model, where patrons pay per fix.

How the Republican Party plays into this isn’t immediately clear, but dealership lobby money has fallen in party members’ pockets. Now it seems that they’ve forgotten their supposedly dear Americanjob-creation and free-market values.

The GOP’s Tesla-bashing started when the company accepted a $465 million lowinterest federal loan aimed at developing green technology.

This loan has led many lawmakers on the right to call Tesla a failure because it needed special government assistance to succeed.

Notably, before the 2012 presidential elections, then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney criticized Tesla as a failure and said that the government had no business investing in such companies. He compared Tesla to the failing Fisker Automotive, inferring that both were government investment mistakes.

And yet, Tesla succeeded, repaying its loan nine years early and already turning a profit.

This has led some to embrace Tesla, or at least its free market sales style, and to criticize the dealership oligopoly that it struggles against. Conservative columnist Charles Lane wrote an opinions piece in The Washington Post that was critical of both Tesla and of the push to block it in favor of the dealerships.

“The dealer-based system was obsolescent even before the Internet,” Lane wrote. “As Web-based retail sales of other products began to take off in 1999, a General Motors executive said publicly that 80 percent of new-car sales could be factory-direct orders made online by 2003.

He forgot about the dealer lobby, which mobilized to win state bans on Internet sales by anyone except an existing licensed dealer.”

Perhaps Lane’s moderate statements are a sign of what is to come, showing a move away from the hypocrisy of embracing free market economics, except when they apply to this small car company.

Hopefully, an innovative firm will no longer be stifled by an antiquated and fearful system, nor despised for irrelevant political bickering. Instead, we can see Tesla, an American firm, create American jobs. It should succeed or fail as a result of its own actions, just as a free market economy should allow.

Less safe, more sex for LGBT+ BY kat hermanson The Daily Wildcat

A

merica’s lesbian and gay rights movement famously began with 1969’s Stonewall Riots, during which police raided a gay bar in New York City and its occupants revolted. Most of the rioters were actually transgender women, drag queens and male prostitutes — the most marginalized people within the gay community.

It’s important to remember that the police didn’t attack the bar-goers because they were afraid of two men being in love, getting married, settling down and adopting children. They attacked them because they were disgusted at the thought of men fucking. The problem that straight people had, and have, with queer people is as simple as the sex that we have.

Almost every one of the cisgender, heterosexual male friends I talk to about queer couples says, “I don’t care as long as they don’t push it in my face.”

What does that mean? As long as we don’t show any affection in front of you? As long as we don’t talk about our identities? As long as we “act straight”?

But we’re not straight. We’re queer, and we have just as much

YOUR VIEWS From “Skepticism aimed at GMOs not warranted” (by Jesus Luna Tarazon, March 25) This is one of the worst articles I have ever read. You are not in the health industry or have a degree to understand the severity of GMOs. Avoid GMO foods at all cost; organic is good. Locally grown foods with rich soil is better.

My heart goes out to those people who can not afford nonGMO foods.

I would also suggest to have a devil’s advocate for the subject you are biased with. This article was one-sided with words to just fill up the page. I deserve my three minutes back for reading such crap!

— Genny

Can you explain this from the European [Academies Science Advisory Council] 2013 report: “There is no validated evidence that GM crops have greater adverse impact on health and the environment than any other technology used in plant breeding. There is compelling evidence that GM crops can contribute to sustainable development goals with benefits to farmers, consumers, the environment and the economy.” or this from the [World Health Organization]: “GM foods currently available on the international market have passed risk assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the

limited sexual attraction, receive the same treatment, because most people can’t imagine a life without sex and children. These groups are just as important as gays and lesbians, but they are ostracized from the majority of the mainstream movement.

Queer people and our organizations need to assert our agency over our bodies and acknowledge that we are as varied in sexuality as heterosexual people. Yes, some of us want to be “normal.” But I, and so many others, don’t want to find the right person and have 2.5 kids and a dog: I want to have sex, and adventures and change the God-damn world. I want to deal with queer issues of employment discrimination, homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS, transphobia and homophobia.

And straight people need to think about the fact that this world does not belong to them.

Their sexuality is no better, no more legitimate than ours. We have every right to be as public and “in your face” about it as they do. Or not — whatever we want.

We have to remember that the Stonewall Rioters didn’t start our fight so we could be the same as everyone else. They did it so we could have the freedom to be ourselves, sex, sexuality and all.

— Sven (in response to Genny) What “research” did Jesus Luna Tarazon do to back up his claim that “GMOs are a necessity”? He provides no support that GMOs are harmless and necessary. He (rightfully) decries the anti-GMO crowd for failing to provide sources or support for their “crazy” Internet posts, yet he claims he doesn’t have enough room in the article to expound on how scientists create these food products. If the goal of the article was to convince anti-GMO readers that the scientifically-manipulated diets are safe, he may be disappointed as to his success rate. Perhaps, with limited column inches, this wasn’t the best forum for his argument?

Police Beat

BY Marissa Mezzatesta The Daily Wildcat

Shots before class

811 E. Wetmore Road Tucson, AZ 85719 520·887·0521 www.theseasonstucson.com

A UA student was cited for being a minor in possession of alcohol on Monday at 2:50 p.m.

Around 2:35 p.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling around the Life Sciences South building when he noticed a male student walking through the street who was almost hit by a BMW. A woman yelled at the student, telling him to hurry up and get out of the way.

The officer approached the male student and asked for identification. The student was swaying from side to side, had red watery eyes and had the smell of alcohol on his breath.

With slow, slurred speech, the student asked the officer why he was being stopped. The office said he could smell the alcohol on the student’s breath and asked him if he had been drinking.

The student said he had been drinking and that he was only 19 years old. He told the officer he had drunk four shots of vodka and juice at home, around 2:15 p.m., before heading to class.

The officer asked the student if he had taken any pills with the alcohol and requested a horizontal gaze nystagmus test. The student showed six of the six cues, indicating that his blood alcohol content was over .08.

The officer suggested that the student not go to class intoxicated, but said it was his choice. The student said he would walk home.

The officer cited the student for underage drinking and for not using a crosswalk to cross the street.

Unforgettable Pool Parties!

‘I tried to be sneaky’

A UA student was arrested for shoplifting at the UofA Bookstore on Monday at 12:04 p.m.

A UAPD officer went to the bookstore regarding a shoplifting student. When the officer arrived, he met with the student, who was being held in a conference room.

When read his Miranda rights, the student said he understood and would answer the officer’s questions.

The student had attempted to steal an Apple USB power adapter and an Apple Lightning USB cable.

The student said, “I came into the bookstore and went to the area where the things were that I was going to shoplift.

I took them to a different area where I tried to be sneaky, but was caught.”

The student said he did not have the money to pay for the items and never intended to actually pay for them.

Both items were returned to the bookstore and all footage of the student was placed into evidence. The student was cited and issued a bookstore exclusion order.

UA-led study sheds light on icy moon BY mark armao

The Daily Wildcat

Ice fields, jagged and fissured, stretch endlessly under a jet black sky. On the horizon, a brilliant sphere begins to rise. But it’s not the sun — it’s Jupiter.

The perspective is from Europa, one of the four moons of Jupiter that were discovered

by Galileo in the 1600s. Since that time, astronomers have learned that Europa is a frozen water world with a 100-mile-deep ocean sandwiched between an icy crust and a rocky core.

One question remains hotly debated: How thick is Europa’s crust?

“It’s one of the big planetary science smackdowns at conferences,” said Veronica Bray, an associate staff scientist at the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, adding that one of the reasons astronomers get so worked up about the ice sheet is that its thickness might determine whether or not life could exist on Europa.

By studying craters on the satellite’s surface, Bray was able to determine that the average thickness of the ice sheet is roughly 7 kilometers. Those findings were recently published in the scientific journal Icarus.

Many astronomers assume that for anything to be alive in the ocean — whether it’s a unicellular organism or a more complex creature — the ice would have to be thin enough for the liquid water to make contact with the surface, allowing nutrients to enter

the ocean.

The battle lines were generally drawn along the 10-kilometer mark. One camp thought the ice was thinner, while the other predicted it to be thicker and probably unsuitable for life.

Bray’s research provides strong evidence for the thin-ice model, and the possibility of life on Europa.

Docs treat H1N1 with lung, heart machine

BY JULIE HUYNH

The Daily Wildcat

BY DARA FARHADI The Daily Wildcat

This flu season, the H1N1 virus latched on to the U.S. once again, but a program at the UAMC has been saving lives by bringing out the big guns.

This season, doctors at the University of Arizona Medical Center have placed 10 H1N1 patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines, artificial heart and lung machines that gives patients time to heal their failing organs.

What separates the UA’s ECMO program from others is its ability to place patients on ECMO as they are transported back to the UAMC, where there’s the manpower and money to keep them alive.

Eight of the 10 swine flu patients were transported there, said Dr. Yuval Raz, an assistant professor in the UA’s College of Medicine and medical director of the ECMO Services Program.

Raz leads the program with cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Jess Thompson, the surgical director of the program.

Just two weeks ago, the ECMO team was able to get Amanda Sprentz’s partner on ECMO and recovering because of its ability to transport patients.

Sprentz’s partner, 39, is asthmatic and was first thought to have had pneumonia, a severe lung infection, but was later found to have the H1N1 virus.

She’s now under intensive care, but is making progress every day, Sprentz said. “[I had] never heard of the ECMO program before, but it is one of the best things and truly is a blessing to have,” she said.

ECMO isn’t only for swine flu patients — it also buys time for patients with other severe conditions that cause heart and respiratory failure.

“We are the only program in the southwest United States that’s transporting patients,” said Thompson, adding that, since 1985, the program has transported 13 patients from outside of Arizona.

Numerous patients from within Arizona

ice shell could have occurred, which means life in the subsurface ocean is more probable than it would be with a thick ice shell above it,” she said.

In order to determine the thickness of the ice, Bray looked at the shape and depth of the craters on Europa.

With no atmosphere to retain heat from the sun, Europa’s ice can drop to 200 degrees

below zero, making it brittle and rock-like, Bray said. When a comet strikes such a surface, the edges of the crater cave inward.

The amount of material that caves in depends on the temperature of the ice: The thinner the ice, the warmer it is, and the more it crumbles after impact, Bray said.

Bray analyzed the shapes of more than 60 craters using topographical models created by Paul Schenk, a staff scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute and co-author of the paper.

She then compared the crater trends to computer simulations of comets hitting the ice at different temperatures. By identifying the simulations that most resembled the actual craters, Bray could determine the average temperature at impact for the craters and therefore calculate the average thickness of the ice.

Richard Greenberg, a professor of planetary sciences and the author of two books on Europa, has long been a proponent of the thinice model.

He said he thinks that in the depths on one of Europa’s mammoth cracks, the ocean meets the surface, and something might even be swimming around down there.

“If evidence continues to mount that the ice is thin enough to form connections to the ocean,” Greenberg said, “it enhances the probability that there is life in that ocean.”

have also been hooked up to the machine, Thompson said. It can cost from between $5,000 to $10,000 to keep an ECMO patient in intensive care every day, he added.

“We’ve had up to four people on ECMO at one time,” he said as he looked through a glass window at one of his patients, “and it can get very, very taxing.”

During what usually amounts to a two-week stay, each patient needs two specialized nurses at their bedside 24/7, Thompson said. One nurse keeps an eye on the machine at all times, and the other handles everything else.

“These nurses do it as a labor of love,” Thompson said. “They are incredible.”

They aren’t just sitting around watching each ECMO pump and computer beep like clockwork, said UAMC nurse Tera Schuetta.

“Each patient is at high risk, since there isn’t a computerized mechanical backup most other heart devices have,” Schuetta said. “With ECMO, we are the backups.”

Seven of the 10 patients brought in with H1N1 this season have survived.

The patients would had have no chance if ECMO wasn’t around, Thompson said.

This fact resonates with Sprentz, who could have easily lost her partner.

“It was the last-ditch effort to save her life,” she said. “I’m all for her being able to get a second chance at life, and I truly appreciate how well they have taken care of us.”

SOFTBALL

Power Rankings: Slippery slope

BY ROBERTO PAYNE

4. Arizona (28-6, 3-3)

The Daily Wildcat

The Bruins are the No. 1 team in the nation and have lost only twice all year.

As long as the UCLA pitching staff continues to dominate opponents, the Bruins won’t move from this spot for quite a while.

The Wildcats started out the year 20-1 but have gone merely 8-5 since that point.

A struggling o f f e n s e contributed to three of those five losses coming against conference foe UCLA . Arizona could use all three wins during this weekend’s series against ASU.

2. ASU (30-5, 4-2)

5. Washington (21-7, 2-3)

1. UCLA Bruins (30-2, 5-1 Pac12 Conference)

ASU has played a solid schedule en route to its No. 8 ranking in the nation.

The Sun Devils use a high-powered offense to get most of their wins and are off until Friday, when they’ll take on Arizona.

Washington’s record doesn’t really do justice to its solid statistics.

As a team, the Huskies are second in the conference in ERA, fourth in batting average and third in stolen bases. They are the currently ranked No. 7 in the nation.

3. Oregon (26-4, 3-0)

6. Stanford (23-11, 1-5)

The Ducks have used a tough nonconference schedule to ready themselves for a rigorous Pac12 conference season. Oregon is currently the No. 3-ranked team in the nation and could easily move up if UCLA loses a couple.

The season hasn’t gone exactly as planned for Stanford.

The Cardinal is still above 20 wins, but would probably have more if it weren’t in the Pac12.

Conference play hasn’t gone well so far, either, as the team is 1-5, and that road won’t get any easier.

7. California (18-11, 2-1)

Cal hasn’t been good this year, but it also hasn’t been bad. It’s just been kind of average, and that probably won’t change soon.

The Golden Bears are near the bottom of the league in most major offensive and pitching categories.

8. Utah (12-12, 1-4)

Utah simply is not a softball school in a power softball conference.

The Utes will be lucky to get above 20 wins on the season.

9. Oregon State (11-17, 2-4)

The Oregon State Beavers are in the same boat as Utah as a struggling team in a very good conference. Bringing up the bottom of the conference, OSU is last in the conference in almost all major offensive categories.

in its injury-plagued pitching rotation. The Wildcats have struggled to establish a reliable rotation past the No. 1 and No. 2 starters and rank ninth in the Pac-12 with a team ERA of 4.38.

In the first half of the game against the Sun Devils, everything was going Arizona’s way, and the Wildcats had built a 6-1 lead. But then in the sixth inning, the Wildcats forgot how to play catch, and poor pitching squandered their five-run lead.

Staring pitcher Tyger Talley turned in five full innings of work for Arizona, but in the right-hander’s final frame, he threw the second of two wild pitches. Arizona’s rotation combined for five wild pitches, five walks and a hit batter on the night.

Talley allowed four runs on eight hits but picked up a no decision, even though the team was still leading when he walked off the field.

The sixth inning was the epitome of Arizona baseball this season.

Pitchers Tyler Crawford, Xavier Borde and Tyler Parmenter relieved Talley and combined for .1 innings pitched. The three struggled to find the zone and combined to give up nine earned runs on four walks and four hits.

“We started out by throwing a lot of balls,” Lopez said.

“It’s pretty simple: Our guys need to throw strikes. At that point, all of the wheels fell off in terms of inability to play catch on defense. Then they also had a few hits here and there. We can’t give anybody 10 outs, especially when we’re playing the competition that we face in the Pac-12.”

WHAT TO WATCH NCAA (11) Dayton vs. (10) Stanford 4:15 P.M. - CBS (6) Baylor vs. (2) Wisconsin 4:47 P.M. - TBS

Just over two months ago, a petition was filed in Chicago by the National College Players Association on behalf of members of the Northwestern University football team. The petition highlighted the desire for Northwestern players to be recognized as employees, and not student athletes, by unionizing.

By being recognized as NCAA employees, the players would have the option of being represented for collective bargaining. Essentially, it would allow players to be paid for their contributions on the field.

Former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter headlined the unionization movement and has been the most vocal player on the matter.

Colter started the movement by reaching out to NCPA president Ramogi Huma almost a year ago.

“Right now the NCAA is like a dictatorship,” Colter said in an ESPN article. “No one represents us in negotiations. The only way

Northwestern University and things are going to change is if the NCAA have each issued players have a union.”

Now, after two months of statements in disagreement with reviewing the petition, the the ruling and both expressed National Labor Relations Board concern over student-athletes has ruled that the Northwestern being labeled as employees.

“We want student athletes — 99 football players indeed qualify as employees of Northwestern percent of whom will never make and can form a union.

pay for college back in 2011 but still has not instituted the stipend.

Here at Arizona, football players were not allowed to comment on the subject due to the timing of the announcement.

However, it’s fair game to speculate about the kind of impact this could have on the football program and the university as a whole, especially considering there is precedent for Arizona football players to side against the NCAA. Less than a year ago, thenArizona seniors Jake Fischer and Jake Smith added their names to the Ed O’Bannon lawsuit against the NCAA . Fischer and Smith became two of the six current players to add their names to the lawsuit.

Looking forward, expect Northwestern will likely stay in the news, as the notion of unionizing collegiate student-athletes should spark considerable debate over whether they should be paid.

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

fter doctors told her to retire due to injury during her junior year of high school, junior Shay Fox thought she would never be able to return to the sport she loved.

Suffering a back injury, she was required to wear a back brace because of fractures in both parts of her lower back.

Fast-forward to her freshman year at the UA, Fox spoke with gymnastics head coach Bill Ryden about a manager position with the Gymcats. Although there was no place for her that year, he called upon her the following year and asked if she still wanted to be a manager.

“I originally decided to become a manager because I still loved gymnastics,” Fox said. “At that point, I was physically unable to do the sport, but mentally I was still in the sport, following it and wanting to be involved. From there, I realized I wanted to come back.”

In the 2012-2013 season, Fox started having thoughts of wanting to return to as a gymnast. She began going to open gyms and working out with the help of assistant coach John Court.

“At the end of last year, she came to me and said that she could still do it,”

JUNIOR ALLAROUND Shay Fox has overcome a back injury to become a key member of the Wildcats. Her coach also calls her one of the hardest workers on the team.

Not much has gone well for Arizona baseball recently. On Wednesday afternoon, the Wildcats’ struggles were highlighted as the squad dropped a 14-6 contest to rival ASU — marking the team’s seventh straight loss. Head coach Andy Lopez said the team’s lack of offensive and defensive execution has been unacceptable this year, but quickly pinned the blame on himself.

“It’s bad coaching,” Lopez said.

“Obviously, it’s my worst coaching job I’ve done in 37 years. My job is to get them to execute, and I’m doing a very poor job of that.”

Even though offensive execution has been an issue for the Wildcats, they ranked as the Pac-12 leaders in categories like team batting average (.308), hits (277) and triples (17) going into Wednesday’s game. Their 11-16 record, however, speaks to the fact that the team hasn’t been getting things done when needed.

Lopez said that the team has been overlooking the small details of the game: sacrifice bunting, advance runners and not having smart at-bats with runners in scoring position.

Arizona has become notorious this season for stranding runners, leaving 44 on base this year. The UA left six on base against the Sun Devils.

The Wildcats only went 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position and 5-for16 with runners on base.

Arizona’s lack of consistency and execution may be even more evident
