The past six ASUA presidents were Greek Life-affiliated, and the trend has a 50 percent chance of repeating in this year’s primary elections.

Current candidates Hannah Sager, a Chi Omega sorority member, and Manuel Felix , a Delta Sigma Phi fraternity member, hope to be the seventh, while non-Greek affiliated candidates Karlyn Bradley and Andrew Falwell aim to start a new trend.

“Greek Life is a huge voting bloc for candidates,” said Issac Ortega, current president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. “Not only due to the fact that more than 13 percent of

The InnovateUA’s Accelerator provides students with the essentials needed to make their newly developed startups thrive.

Accelerator is a six-week course where mentors, resources and a workspace will be available for the new student startups accepted into the program, according to Dominic Taguinod, the InnovateUA director of Accelerator.

Students who applied filled out a joint application for the InnovateUA Accelerator and the 2015 Perkins Coie Innovative Minds Challenge. Taguinod said students will compete for a total of $10,000 in cash prizes provided

by Perkins Coie, as well as prizes provided by other sponsors.

The program is meant to provide the tools needed to help further develop business startups in order to prepare them for the second phase of their business models. After the six weeks, students will take part in a demo day, where they will present to the Arizona Center for Innovation and Perkins Coie for cash prizes.

the campus is greek, but many greek organizations have housing close to campus, and they are easy to target during election season since all greek chapters hold meetings.”

Falwell, a chemical engineering junior and ASUA presidential candidate, said he is not affiliated with any greek chapters.

“Three professors have spoken to me saying that they are frustrated that we receive only a fraction of the education funding we received a few years ago but continue to elect popular greek candidates year after year,” Falwell said. “Some faculty may even openly say that we’re suffering because of this system.”

Ortega said that five of the 10 current ASUA Senators are affiliated with Greek Life at the UA, and added that he does not think his affiliation with a greek

chapter affects any decisions he makes as ASUA president.

“Our senators and other elected officials are aware that our role is to represent all students of the campus as best we can,” Ortega said.

He added that extracurricular activities are often required by greek members.

“ASUA offers hundreds of leadership opportunities, so I am not surprised to see that members of the greek community get involved every year,” Ortega said.

Felix, a junior studying Spanish and political science and an ASUA presidential candidate, said Greek Life is an even smaller community within the community of the UA. “Once you get involved in various organizations, you start realizing that the UA is actually a

The Science-Engineering Library will be shut down for the first time ever this weekend in order to host Hack Arizona, the largest hackathon in the Southwest.

InnovateUA’s latest initiative, the event is bringing more than 400 students from the UA and across the country to spend 36 hours hacking.

Nick Morin, director of InnovateUA , said hacking is typically associated with negative connotations but it’s a buzzword that really just means to make something better. The purpose is to bring not only students together to hack but also to foster relationships, which Morin believes is an important part of the hackathon.

Contributors include companies such as Raytheon, Amazon, State Farm, Major League Hacking, USAA, Dell, Intel, Cox, Startup Tucson, Red Bull and Wal-Mart to provide donations and mentorships throughout the weekend, which has been in the works since August, according to Morin.

Computer science sophomore Ian Tracey, the director of Hack Arizona, said more than 150 mentors are coming to give students encouragement and resources they need to capture their goals.

“No experience is needed,” Morin said. “You can be a complete novice as long as you’re willing to learn and have fun.”

Bridget Radcliff, an academic services and student support manager in the department of computer science, serves as an adviser to help troubleshoot and problem solve as obstacles occur throughout the planning process.

Students are expected to bring their laptops, but everything else will be provided, Radcliff said. Students also have the option to check out equipment brought from the

Hands-on learning builds more than walls

BY TERRIE BRIANNA The Daily Wildcat

Certain elements of being an architect cannot be taught in the classroom — it takes first-hand experiences.

On Tuesday, 53 students in the UA’s College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture gained some of that first-hand experience and completed the construction of their own masonry walls. The students were split into groups and built walls measuring 32 square feet, which are located in the yard of the Superlite Block Company.

Through masonry construction, ”students … experience firsthand the value of developing relationships with the contractors and on-the-job tradespeople, who are also an important part of the design and construction team,” said Ray Barnes, School of Architecture lecturer and coordinator of the wall-building program.

Barnes coordinated the wallbuilding program for the past five years with Martin Pagnotta and Mary Hardin. Pagnotta was involved with the Superlite Block Company in 2001, and Hardin is a current UA professor.

STUDENTS FROM THE College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture work together to build brick walls utilizing a variety of mortar and brick-laying techniques at the Superlite Block Company yard throughout the month of April. The construction of the walls was completed on Tuesday.

“Another aspect of what the students learn is how to function as a high-performance team, which is the way architectural projects are managed in real life,” Barnes said.

The wall-building program encourages students to work as a team.

UA combats national collegiate blues

BY Isaac Rounseville The Daily Wildcat

The adjustment from high school to a university environment can be highly demanding as students take on more work and responsibilities away from home. This enlarged workload can lead to increased stress, anxiety and depression in college students.

The demands students face at the UA are a sample of the challenges that students face nationwide: hours devoted to studying, extracurricular activities and other commitments like work to pay for living expenses and student loans. Nationwide studies have shown that this increased workload can result in heightened mental and emotional stress for collegegoers.

Earlier this year, the California-based Cooperative Institutional Research Program released the results of its annual survey of over 150,000 college freshmen throughout the U.S. The study, conducted over the last 50 years at the University of California, Los Angeles, presents a grim trend for first-year undergraduates. Over a five-year period, students who reported feeling depressed rose to 9.5 percent from 6.1 percent, and those who were feeling overwhelmed by schoolwork and collegerelated activities rose from 27.1 percent to 34.6 percent.

“From my perspective, I think the

findings of this study are pretty well validated,” said Stephanie Kha, the director of the Student Health Advocacy Committee, an on-campus committee that works to coordinate health questions and concerns of UA students with faculty and health providers at the Campus Health Service. “It can be very stressful to maintain good grades and commitments outside of school for students of every year, freshman or senior. But it can be very demanding for incoming freshman to adjust.”

One method Campus Health uses to identify depression at the UA is through its Health and Wellness Survey. According to the 2013 Survey, which included 3,055 UA respondents from all four class years, “50 percent of students experienced morethan-average stress or tremendous stress in the past school year,” and “13 percent of students have been diagnosed with depression.” The survey reported similar numbers for students diagnosed with anxiety, and that “32 percent of students indicated anxiety or depression made it somewhat or very difficult to do their work, study, go to class or get along with people.”

In response to these numbers, Campus Health advocates and workers highlighted the resources available to students suffering from stress, depression, or anxiety.

“We want to focus on a non-invasive way of encouraging people to speak out about

their problems in and outside of school,” Kha said.

One such method is the Friend2Friend service, which is offered through the UA’s Counseling and Psychological Services program. F2F gives students advice on how to support friends that could be

having problems with drugs, alcohol, overwhelming schoolwork or depression.

It also provides guidelines on how to approach a friend with a possible issue, how to address it initially and when to seek professional help if the problem gets serious.

The F2F service’s main goal is to prevent suicide, which is an objective shared by the Question, Persuade and Refer program. QPR emphasizes the importance of questioning a friend about suicide, persuading them to avoid it and seek assistance and referring that person to professional help.

“We want to set up QPR workshops for faculty members, health workers, and other students on campus,” Kha said. “It’s crucial that they all get proper training and learn how to effectively seek out information without being intrusive.”

As the 2015 spring semester reaches its halfway point, thousands of undergraduates studying for classes, practicing instruments, attending clubs and researching for lab reports will confront problems of stress, anxiety and depression. Addressing these problems will be a question of how willing people are to carefully seek them out and how willing students are in sharing them.

junior, is currently enrolled in Barnes’ course. “[It] is very important to get out there and see what you are going to be building,” Rodriguez said. “…

You learn little intricacies that you don’t learn sitting in a classroom.”

Rodriguez also emphasized Barnes’ direct approach to teaching.

“He gives us many opportunities to make mistakes and learn,” he said.

Elena Vargas, an architecture sophomore, said she went into the design and construction process with an open mind.

“I had no construction experience,” Vargas said. “… This experience has been extremely educational because it is entirely hands-on.”

Vargas said her team’s design was intentionally minimalist.

Because of their lack of experience, her team members wanted to focus on the quality of construction and mastering the basics, like how to spread mortar and lay blocks.

“We are still far from being able to call ourselves master masons,” Vargas said, noting that her team, however, is “far more proficient now than we were just a few weeks ago.”

THE DAILY WILDCAT

Di Le, a junior and secondyear architecture student, said he realized the hard work that goes into architecture. Le said the idea behind his wall was focused on “the modular sizes of the blocks.”

Despite some miniscule errors, Le said his design was executed as planned. He added that this type of hands-on learning is very valuable, as students sometimes “get caught up with just designing … or being in this conceptual stage, rather than trying out the task.”

Jennifer Lee Ingram, an architecture sophomore, said her team’s design was inspired by elegance and subtle changes in depth and material.

“It has been more difficult than I expected,” Ingram said. “… I have much more respect for people working [in this industry].”

She added that wall construction takes a lot of skill, patience and strength.

“Regardless of where one studies to be an architect,” Barnes said, “most of us believe there is no better education to promote thinking, design, and problem solving — an important characteristic trait of those who are successful in any career.”

Spring breakers get travel tips BY amber white

The Daily Wildcat

As students gear up for spring break amidst midterms and projects, safety is another important concern on their minds, which is what the annual Spring Break Safety Fair plans to address Wednesday.

The annual Spring Break Safety Fair is hosted by the University of Arizona Police Department and Associated Students of the University of Arizona to provide students with safety and travel information regardless of where they are going.

The fair, free to the public and themed “Stay Safe, Stay Smart, Stay Alive,” will take place Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the UA Mall, between Old Main and the Cactus Garden. There will be music, food, promotional items, giveaways and T-shirts.

Several agencies will set up booths to answer questions and provide useful information.

Additionally, Joe Bermudez, a UAPD officer and crime prevention specialist, will be present with other officers to give advice and tips to avoid dangerous situations during spring break.

“Most students want to travel during spring break, so the information available is geared toward preventing or removing an opportunity for crime to occur,” Bermudez said. “You want to utilize the buddy system, and make sure you

Nenwani added that he and his team needed to be accepted in order to have the seed money to conduct prototype testing and make their dreams into reality.

ABA Specialists

ABA Specialists is a company dedicated to focusing on providing behavioral therapy to kids with special needs and developmental issues, said Yvette-Marie Margaillan, a management information systems graduate student and the founder and CEO of the company. ABA stands for applied behavior analysis; it is a key factor in understanding developmental issues, said Margaillan, who hopes her software will help with data collection.

“CrateCrops is an aquaponic technology manufacturer that is providing a [science, technology, engineering and mathematics]

The Spring Break Safety Fair has been at the UA since 2005 and gets bigger every year through the networking and expansion of participating informational agencies.

Motivation for the fair’s origin can be traced to horror stories about what could happen during spring break. According to Sona Rose Shahbazian, a junior studying physiology and Spanish and Portuguese, as well as the subcommittee chair for SBSF, UA students should know how to avoid certain situations and know what to do when something goes wrong so they can come back and finish the semester.

Shahbazian worked to obtain promotional materials and recruited the student clubs in hopes of getting students the information they need.

“I think we had 33 participants last year, and now there are over 40,” Bermudez said.

The participants include the U.S. Consulate in Mexico, the Sonoran Department of Tourism, Campus Health Service, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Student Health Advocacy Committee, SafeCats and University Emergency Medical Services.

“The Spring Break Safety Fair is super interactive,” Shahbazian said. “Safety may not be the coolest topic to think about, but we hope to present all of our information in a way that makes students want to learn about how to make their own personal safety a priority.”

Opa! Greek leaders say ‘no more’ to austerity BY martin forstrom The Daily Wildcat

S

yriza, otherwise known as the Coalition of the Radical Left, a leftwing party formed by defectors from the Greek Communist Party, came to power in the recent Greek elections with 10-point margins and a strong popular mandate to fight tooth and nail against the austerity regime imposed by the “troika,” or triumvirate, of the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and the European Commission.

The austerity “reform” conditions demanded by the troika include some good, necessary policy embraced by Syriza and the vast majority of Greeks — including a crackdown on pervasive tax evasion, effective taxation of big business and efforts to fight widespread corruption.

But it also imposed more controversial austerity measures, including eviscerating the minimum wage, massive layoffs of public employees, shutting down all public broadcasting, firesale privatizations of most public property, defunding education and health care, large tax increases on the middle class and anti-union laws.

The result has been a 25 percent GDP decrease and social unrest that Syriza chairman and recent Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is calling a “humanitarian crisis.” Youth unemployment is near 60 percent. In contrast to the predictions of the troika, the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio is getting worse and worse — it has increased from about 100 percent (not far from the U.S. ratio) to 175 percent since the program was implemented.

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times that “[the troika], while pretending to be hardheaded and realistic, was peddling an economic fantasy” when it sold austerity to the Greeks with predictions that unemployment would increase only to about 15 percent and that the economy would bottom out in 2012. Instead, there was a full-blown depression in 2014 that the troika failed to predict, “[and] the Greek people have been paying the price for those elite delusions,” Krugman notes.

Krugman further explains that the IMF was aware that there were no historical examples in which “attempts to pay down debt through austerity without major debt relief or inflation had been successful.”

Clearly, the austerity measures were largely a moralistic response by Greece’s creditors based on the stereotype of the lazy Southern European, not a levelheaded economic solution.

Sociology professor Kathleen Schwartzman said that “global Keynesianism” is the only solution, and the results of austerity during economic depressions have certainly proven that at least some move in this direction is warranted.

Syriza recently reached a deal with the troika — now semantically renamed the “three institutions” to heal Greek pride — to extend the bailout four months under a very vague understanding that it continue with reforms and not make “unilateral” moves — i.e. the kinds of thing a sovereign state is supposed to be able to do — to undo previous “reforms.” To fulfill campaign promises to the Greek people at all, Syriza will have to interpret the agreement rather liberally, though, and push back austerity as much as possible without being kicked out of the eurozone.

Recent bills to raise the minimum wage to 751 euros a month — hardly a luxurious sum — and to cancel privatization of a major publicly owned port represent a good first step. If the “institutions” see these modest steps toward trying to improve the humanitarian situation in Greece as reason to kick it to the curb, maybe Greece is better off refusing to be a debt colony.

The fairest scenario would be to force Germany to pay its outstanding war reparations to Greece in the form of debt write-offs and the troika to accept a write-off of as much as half of the Greek debt and tie repayment of the rest to growth, the exact deal Germany received in 1953 after trying to take over the world.

As that clearly isn’t going to happen, center-left governments in France, Italy, Sweden and elsewhere in Europe need to work behind the scenes to allow Syriza to reverse some damaging, unnecessary “reforms” and improve the economic and humanitarian situation in Greece.

Help is on the way with Podemos, a similar left-wing party in Spain now leading in the polls for that country’s upcoming general election, and Sinn Fein, formerly the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, trailing behind first in Ireland. In the meantime, Syriza represents the beginning of a direly needed challenge to the horrific policies of austerity.

Greening the food pyramid BY elizabeth hannah The Daily Wildcat

O

n Feb. 19, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee released its scientific report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Agriculture. The report, which recommends ways for people to improve their overall health and nutrition, will ultimately become the basis for the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The government released the first Dietary Guidelines in 1980, and since then it has published a new version every five years with the aim of preventing chronic disease in the U.S. In many ways, DGAC’s report is similar to those it has released in past years. As usual, it recommends that Americans eat more fruits and vegetables, maintain an active lifestyle and limit intake of sodium and saturated fats.

But despite these fundamental similarities, this year’s report differs from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines.

The 2010 Guidelines, for example, recommend that Americans consume less than 300 mg per day of cholesterol, a nutrient that has a reputation for being harmful to one’s health. This year, however, the DGAC decided that, “cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.”

According to Janet Foote, an assistant professor in the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health division of epidemiology and biostatistics, the DGAC analyzed “peer-reviewed, scientific research,” along with “nationally representative surveys of diet and health-related parameters of our

for example, recently issued a statement arguing that pork production constitutes a tiny fraction of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. It alleges that the benefits of pork outweigh any negative environmental consequences.

Although pork production itself may not pose serious environmental dangers, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that almost 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock. Meat production further contributes to greenhouse gas emissions because most commodities are shipped to locations hundreds of miles from where they were produced.

Other environmental risks associated with food production include overfishing, overgrazing, wildlife habitat destruction and soil and water contamination. Moreover, excessive packaging using non-recyclable plastics drains our natural resources and creates unnecessary waste.

Refusing to acknowledge the connection between environmental sustainability and nutrition is both damaging and narrowminded. If we continue to produce and consume foods in a way that damages the environment, we risk making such foods completely unavailable to future generations, thereby jeopardizing the health of our communities.

In constructing the final 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, HHS and USDA should adhere to the DGAC’s recommendations and maintain a “systemsbased” approach to nutrition that protects both our health and our environment.

population,” and it found that consumption of certain fats and low activity levels are more highly correlated with circulating blood cholesterol than cholesterol intake from food sources.

“The increases in obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases are not only due to dietary intake, but are due to multiple factors in our lifestyles and environment,” Foote said. “In response to these systems-based problems, the DGAC recognized that offering isolated nutrient advice would not be the most efficacious approach.”

This idea of a “systems-based approach” constitutes the report’s most notable departure from recent years. In particular, the current report urges Americans to consider how their dietary choices affect the ability of the U.S. to sustain its growing population. For the first time, it acknowledges how food and beverage consumption impacts the environment, from “farm to plate to waste disposal.”

“The DGAC recognized that environmental, social, economic and political factors affect our food choices, access and eating behaviors,” Foote said. “Treating dietary intake in isolation from the community system in which we live would not have the impact necessary to alter the current prevalence of preventable conditions among our population.”

Unsurprisingly, the inclusion of environmental sustainability in the DGAC’s report has elicited a host of criticism from conservatives who believe the committee has strayed too far from traditional ideas about nutrition. Indeed, prior to the report’s release, the House Appropriations Committee directed the Department of Agriculture and Health and Human Services not to include environmental concerns in the final version of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines.

The meat industry also opposes the DGAC’s environmentalism. The National Pork Board,

Last triathlon for Mary Jane

ith the ever-increasing popularity and social acceptance of marijuana as a recreational drug, it seems inevitable that the whole U.S. will follow in the steps of Colorado, Washington and Oregon and legalize the plant. There are few arguments that work against recreational weed that don’t also work against alcohol, which was obviously notso-successfully banned during Prohibition.

However, the rise of popularity in recreational pot will have an effect on the world of sports because, believe it or not, marijuana may be the next big performance-enhancing drug — and the World Anti-Doping Agency should opt to reverse its recent ruling of allowing for marijuana use during training.

Marijuana may not seem like a drug that would help very many

people with sports. It makes them feel lazy, hungry and ungrounded, which are not the most helpful effects on an athlete’s training — not to mention that the inhalation of smoke into the lungs doesn’t seem like a particularly healthy habit for any aspiring athlete.

However, according to Men’s Journal, the benefits of pain relief, decrease in nausea and improvements in mood are effects that would certainly help athletes, particularly endurance athletes like runners and triathletes. The alternatives to smoking — such as weed-laced edibles, teas and creams — offer intoxicating paths that don’t put an athlete’s lungs at risk.

According to The Wall Street Journal, in 2013 the WADA raised the allowable level of marijuana’s active ingredient, THC, to levels which would allow athletes to train with the drug but still not compete with it. This may seem like a reasonable allowance, especially with the increased popularity and social acceptance of the drug in everyday life and its legality in a few states and countries.

But this is a mistake: In

sports, the use of performanceenhancing drugs is a violation of the spirit of sport not only in competition, but also in training.

Most of an athlete’s time is spent in training, and the ability of endurance athletes to mentally devote themselves to running or biking for two or more hours a day is part of the sport. So by allowing marijuana for use in training, it simultaneously allows for these athletes to overcome perhaps the most difficult part of their sport and gain an enormous edge on their competition.

The use of marijuana doesn’t only apply to endurance sports, but also sports that require intense focus and the ability to take risks without hesitation.

According to The Denver Post, anyone who knows anything about the insides of the sports “knows that marijuana and skiing, and snowboarding, are inextricably linked.” So evidently, this is not only a small, contained phenomenon amongst hippie ultramarathoners, but also in the wealthier winter sports.

The use of weed for training has apparently had massive benefits for certain athletes. Both Avery

Collins and Clifford Drusinsky, individuals interviewed by The Wall Street Journal and Men’s Journal, respectively, have had podium finishes in multiple large-scale events, and Collins competes professionally as an ultramarathoner. While the use of marijuana as a performance enhancer has proved to be “anecdotal” in its research subjects, meaning that some individuals reap massive benefits from its use while others might not, it has proven popular and performance-enhancing enough to warrant a rethinking of the WADA’s decision.

So, despite its relatively recent ruling, it’s not too late for the WADA to reverse its decision to increase its threshold of THC for athletes, because even while still illegal for use in competition, its use in training is perhaps the largest edge that athletes can use to beat out their competitors.

POLICE BEAT

Everybody Matters: Climate Change and Human Rights

BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

an evening with

Hell on wheels

A University of Arizona Police Department officer noticed a man riding a bicycle through a private parking lot and looking into cars on Feb. 14 at approximately 9:30 p.m at the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house.

The non-UA affiliated man was standing near the bike racks of the sorority house and, upon seeing the officer pulling into the lot, rode a green 21-speed bike with a basket on the front away from the racks.

After the officer stopped him, he claimed he had parked his girlfriend’s bike there in the morning before going to the hospital for a staph infection on his hand. He claimed to have parked there because it was safer than the hospital and had returned to pick up the bike.

The individual said he was homeless and living on the streets near Fort Lowell Road. The bike did not appear to be stolen, and there were no locks in the bike rack area.

The officer went to speak with a sorority member who said the bike belonged to a girl who lived in the house. She said the bike was always secured to the bike rack.

The sorority house mother came out and spoke to the officer, saying she did not want the man on the property again.

The man was cited and released for theft. He was served with a UA Exclusionary Order, photographed and told not to enter the sorority house’s property again.

The bike was placed into UA Property and Evidence. The house mother told the officer she would have the owner come pick it up at the station.

Slurrin’ and swayin’

A UA student was observed swaying outside Posada San Pedro Residence Hall on Feb. 13 at approximately 1:18 a.m.

Two UAPD officers were working a Residence Life deployment when they saw two men walking on the sidewalk in front of the residence hall.

One man reached the door of Posada San Pedro and started scanning his iPhone over the CatCard reader to gain entrance into the building.

According to the officer, the man had a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath, and his eyes were bloodshot and watery.

One officer asked how much the man had to drink, and he replied in a slurred voice that he had drank four beers.

The two men said they were coming from an apartment at the Hub at Tucson. The other man and the officers took the drunken man to his room. The sober student said he would look after the other student for the rest of the night.

The drunk student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for a minor in possession of spirituous liquor.

FOOTBALL

Rich Rod, ’Cats ready to start spring practices

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football returns to practice today, working to replace lost starters and build depth as the Wildcats try to defend their Pac-12 Conference South championship. Spring football features 14 practices, culminating with the annual spring game on April 10 at 6 p.m.

“I’m happy to get back outside, play a little football,” said Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez. “We got about six weeks of good strength and conditioning in.”

Spring football offers a chance to find replacements, especially on the offensive line. Starting center Steven Gurrola and starting tackles Mickey Baucus and Fabbians Ebbele all had their eligibility expire. Baucus played in the East-West Shrine Game.

“That’s the concern on offense,” Rodriguez said. “You got a whole lot of experience to replace. I think we got some talent there; we got size.”

Rodriguez said they will try a multitude of players to replace the leader of the offensive line.

“Steven Gurrola was a big piece of our offensive line the last two years,” Rodriguez said. “If you’re an o-lineman and you can shotgun snap, you’re getting reps at center this spring.”

The Wildcats need to build depth to deal with their difficult schedule in 2015, Rodriguez said. Arizona starts on Sept. 3 with UTSA and doesn’t have a bye week until after the ASU game on Nov. 21.

Rodriguez said he was worried about the impact of ending the year

Offense leads UA to 6-2 win over NMST

BY NICOLE COUSINS The Daily Wildcat

Another solid hitting performance propelled Arizona to a 6-2 win over New Mexico State (1-11) on Tuesday night at Hi Corbett Field.

Jared Oliva led the Wildcats (11-4) with his bat, going 3-4 with two runs and an RBI. The left fielder was a strong contributor to Arizona’s 13-hit night and bumped his batting average up to .412, joining Scott Kingery as the only Wildcats batting over .400 this season.

Oliva, who redshirted last year and is one of the more surprising Arizona leaders this season, got his 12th start.

“I’m really just trying to stick with your same approach,” Oliva said. “Good pitcher or bad pitcher, they’re going to give you a good pitch to hit sometime at that at bat.”

Austin Schnabel started on the mound for Arizona and gave up two runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings against the Aggies. His start on Friday at Mississippi State lasted just 2.2 innings and yielded two runs on four hits, while he gave up eight runs on 13 hits during his start on Feb. 20. The combination of the two has moved him out of the Friday night spotlight.

“Cody Hamlin will be pitching on Friday now,” Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said. “But we’ll get [Schnabel] back on track. He knows he’s an asset to us, and he’ll

They’re going to give you a good pitch

Arizona clinched a share of the regular season Pac-12 Conference title with its win at Utah and has a chance to clinch the outright regular season title on Thursday against California.

The Wildcats just need to win one of their two games this week, and they’ll be the conference champs.

However, with the Pac12 tournament and NCAA tournament looming large over the next couple weeks, Miller said the Wildcats can’t afford to overlook Cal or Stanford in favor of looking for a No. 1 seed in the tournament.

“If we start thinking in those terms, you get away maybe from what’s the most important,” Miller said. “That is, we have two games at home, we’re preparing for Cal on Thursday night. If we get too far ahead of ourselves beyond Cal on Thursday night, we’re not going to play well. Next thing you know, you’re running into a situation that maybe you otherwise could have avoided.”

Miller added that anyone in the conference can beat the Wildcats on any given night, and that the team can’t afford a lapse in concentration.

“Everybody in our conference can beat us,” Miller said. “We’ve, I think, proven that.”

The rise of Zeus

Once the butt of most Wildcatrelated jokes, Arizona center Kaleb Tarczewski has completely turned his season around over the past six games. Tarczewski has been the rebounding and defensive force that Arizona expected him to be and even added in timely and consistent offensive performances.

Tarczewski’s recent hot streak has brought confidence back to his game and reiterated his importance to the team as the season progresses, Miller said.

Wildcats get shot at mid-week opponent No. 15 Arizona hosts UNLV in a rare mid-week doubleheader at Hillenbrand Stadium

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Arizona softball hosts UNLV for a mid-week double-header on Wednesday at noon and 2 p.m. at Hillenbrand Stadium. The No. 13 Wildcats are 17-3 on the season and with the Judi Garman Classic looming large this weekend, they have to stay focused on the Runnin’ Rebels.

“I guess it’s just a different mentality,” Arizona outfielder Eva Watson said. “We don’t have as many practice days, so it’s a little different that we have to get prepared a little sooner. It’s like coach says: Every day counts.”

Arizona has the momentum on its side after six wins in six games last weekend. The dominant pitching staff has led the charge over the last few games. All three starting pitchers have an ERA at 2.09 or lower, with Nancy Bowling leading the way at 1.71. Michelle Floyd and Trish Parks are tied for the team lead with seven wins each, and Floyd leads in strikeouts with 47.

Floyd has been the most surprising out of those three. She’s come on in a big way over the past couple of weeks for Arizona coach

Mike Candrea’s squad after rarely being used in her true freshman season and even the beginning of this season.

The sophomore from San Marino, Calif., said she’s excited about the increased playing time she’s received this season and never gave up after that lack of playing during her freshman year.

“It’s all about just never losing faith at all and just always trying to be prepared for when the opportunity may come,” Floyd said. “When the bell is rung, may I please be ready. Each opportunity is a blessing.”

Floyd added that she loves being around her teammates and being on a talented team.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Floyd said.

“Every day I get to be out here with my team is a great day. Every opportunity we get to play is a lot of fun.”

Offensively, 13 of the 19 players on the roster hold a batting average of over .300 and six players have racked up double-digit RBIs. Not to mention, eight different Wildcats have stolen a bag this season, with outfielder Chelsea Suitos leading the way with eight stolen bases.

From a power perspective, the Wildcats have nine different

players who have hit a home run this season.

Candrea said the team, both offensively and from a pitching standpoint, is ready to take on UNLV for this mid-week game and will approach the day game with the same mentality.

“To get all of our games in, we have to get some mid-week games in,” Candrea said. “It is what it is. It gives us a chance to compete in the middle of the week and get ready for the weekend.”

UNLV is 10-8 on the season and presents a classic case of a trap series, as the Wildcats will head to the Judi Garman Classic over the weekend where they will play three ranked teams, two of which are in the top 10, including No. 1 Florida. Players and coaches said the team needs to stay focused on UNLV rather than looking ahead to weekend matchups like the one against Florida.

“It’s very much key,” Floyd said.

“Every game is an opportunity to get better. Every time you get to play is an opportunity to improve.”

ARIZONA MEN’S basketball coach Sean Miller chats with the Arizona softball team in Lapan Family Center at Hillenbrand Stadium on Tuesday. Miller spoke about playing as a team and honoring the process throughout a season.

Miller speaks to UA softball about playing as a team

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Arizona men’s basketball coach Sean Miller held his weekly press conference with the media on Tuesday around 1:40 p.m. Miller spoke to the media for about 17 minutes before rushing out of the press conference. Little did anyone know where Miller would be headed to next.

Much to the shock of those in attendance, Miller arrived at Hillenbrand Stadium in a golf cart about 10 minutes after his press conference ended to give a talk to the No. 13 Arizona softball team before its practice.

According to softball players, there was no inclination that Miller would be coming to give a talk before practice.

“I didn’t know at all,” Arizona outfielder Eva Watson said. “I honestly had no idea who pulled up. Everyone was freaking out, and I’m in the outfield shagging balls going, ‘Oh, who is that guy?’ They’re like, ‘Oh, it’s Sean Miller.’ It was awesome having him come in here and talk. It was a great surprise.”

Watson added that the general message from Miller was to stay together as a team, an issue that the men’s basketball team has dealt with at times.

“He really applied some of the things they do in basketball to our sport as well and really talked about [how] it’s difficult, obviously in basketball, to make it a team sport,” Watson said. “There’s so many guys that are trying to make it pro.

Obviously here, same thing happens — we’re trying to be All-Americans.”

Miller has often preached his message of honoring the process and taking care of the team aspect first and foremost, a topic he shared with the softball team.

“It’s so easy to get wrapped up in batting averages,” Watson said. “He was telling us the most important thing is to play the team sport, and the individual things will just happen naturally.”

While softball may be far off from basketball, having Miller talk to the team was something that Arizona softball head coach Mike Candrea said will hopefully help the team for the rest of the season.

“He just talked about the process and effort and about being a good team,” Candrea said. “He had a very good message.”

As the softball team goes through a stretch of seven games in five days, with five of those games coming on the road against top-level competition, Candrea’s squad would do well to heed Miller’s words and honor the process.

As Miller said earlier in the day during his basketball press conference, “Everybody in our conference can beat us.” In Pac12 softball, that message holds even more weight than in Pac-12 basketball.

Pac-12 conference play will soon be underway and the real meat of the season will be upon the Wildcats. Honoring the process could be what brings National Championship number nine to Arizona this season.

ARIZONA MEN’S BASKETBALL guard T.J. McConnell quickly speaks with coach Sean Miller during Arizona’s 69-51 win against Utah in McKale Center on Jan. 17. Miller said the Wildcats are not overlooking California in favor of postseason play.

with Kaleb because he’s scoring more and he’s catching the ball and doing a lot of things that I think anybody who’s a fan can see,” Miller said. “The things that Kaleb does within the game, really his whole career, has been that he’s in the right position on defense just about every possession. He’s big, he’s mobile and he’s really smart.”

Looking forward, a dominant Kaleb Tarczewski would do wonders for Arizona’s chances for its second National Championship.

Miller sees self in T.J. — Follow Roberto Payne @HouseofPayne555

Arizona men’s basketball coach Sean Miller sees a lot of

himself in his point guard, T.J. McConnell.

Miller, who played point guard at Pittsburgh during the late 1980s and early 1990s, exhibited much of the same qualities that McConnell exhibits today. Miller went as far as saying McConnell does certain things better than he ever did.

“Some things, yes,” Miller said. “There are a lot of things that he does much, much better than me. His defense, we talked about this numerous times before he ever played here. His freshman year and in his sophomore year at Duquesne, he was third in the nation in steals over a 70-game period of time. That shows you how he plays.”

By being a premier player on the best team in the

conference, McConnell is on the fast track to becoming Arizona’s second-consecutive Pac-12 Player of the Year.

As McConnell has said multiple times, he doesn’t care about individual awards, as long as the team continues its winning ways. Miller agreed with that sentiment; he said that the coaches usually pick the best player from the best team as the winner.

“Our coaches pretty much operate from the standpoint of whoever the champion is — or certainly that’s had a great year — deserves the individual accolades, and I’m sure that won’t change,” Miller said.

A woman in Afghanistan holds a knife in this photo by Seamus Murphy. Murphy photographed women in Afghanistan from 1994 to 2012, and his photos will be featured at the “Shame Every Rose: Images from Afghanistan” exhibit at the UA Poetry Center on Thursday.

Verse in the face of violence Pashtun women’s poetry will be the point of discussion at the Poetry Center on Thursday BY victoria pereira The Daily Wildcat

Afghan and Pakistani women poets will be in the spotlight Thursday during the Artists’ Talk and Screening of “Shame Every Rose: Images from Afghanistan.”

Photographer and filmmaker Seamus Murphy and author Eliza Griswold teamed up to call attention to Afghan culture and women’s role in it through Murphy’s photography and “landays” written by anonymous Afghan and Pakistani women.

Landays are short, two-line poems created by Pashtun women living around the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Many of these women are illiterate, so landays are often only conveyed orally and are typically sung to the beat of a hand drum or other rhythmic instrument. According to Griswold’s introduction to landays, available on the Poetry Foundation’s website, there are very few formal requirements for a landay.

“Each has 22 syllables: nine in the first line, 13 in the second,” Griswold writes. “The poem ends with the sound ‘ma’ or ‘na.’ Sometimes they

rhyme, but more often not.”

The short poems convey the feelings that these women have towards subjects like war, men, their homeland and their culture.

Landays have been around for hundreds of years as a way for women to express their creativity and voice their opinions in a society that is oppressive towards them. Over time, classic landays are passed down and evolve with the changing times.

This rich form of expression in the culture of the Afghan women is a phenomenon that naturally doesn’t call attention to itself, since some of the views women share in landays can get them into serious trouble.

Murphy and Griswold wanted to shed light on landays and the women who embody them, so they decided to travel to Afghanistan and document these poems and their authors. In 2012, the partners took two trips to Afghanistan where they visited the Kabul, Nangarhar and Helmand provinces in search of landays.

Afghan society forbids men from being around women unless they are related or married, so Griswold was in charge of talking to the landay

writers and Murphy handled the photography.

“The images I was able to offer to the project were taken indirectly, … in keeping with landays,” Murphy said. “[The landays] are anonymous so that the person making them cannot be found guilty of the opinions or experiences expressed in the poems.”

While on their journey, Murphy and Griswold said they discovered how strong these Afghan women really are.

Due to the stereotypical image of Afghan women shrouded in burqas, many outsiders to the culture see these women as submissive and meek — but listen to one landay, and it is clear that they are much more than they might appear.

“Many of the poems are wickedly funny and raunchy,” Murphy said.

“The women don’t spare the feelings of the men, their lovers, American soldiers, President [Hamid] Karzai, the Taliban and so on. So one of the most fun parts was discovering a new gem of a poem that Eliza had just unearthed.”

Murphy and Griswold’s photography and landay collection

was originally featured in a show in the Poetry Foundation’s headquarters in Chicago in June 2013. The exhibit went along with that month’s edition of Poetry Magazine, which was solely about landays. The issue was noteworthy for being the first edition of Poetry Magazine to focus on one subject throughout the entire publication.

The UA Center for Middle Eastern Studies also supported Murphy and Griswold in their endeavors.

The next stop for “Shame Every Rose” is at the UA Poetry Center, where Murphy and Griswold will be discussing their work, screening Murphy’s short film “SNAKE” and celebrating the opening of the exhibit itself at 6 p.m.

When asked what his hopes were for the event, Murphy said, “I hope that it will make people realize how sensitive and funny Afghan women are … and that our conception of these women as ignorant and submissive will be challenged after experiencing their poetry.”

‘American Crime’ Rogue Theatre Woolf unafraid to pull production is ‘magic’ punches, drama

play review

BY anna mae ludlum The Daily Wildcat

From start to finish and in every detail, The Rogue Theatre’s original production of “The Lady in the Looking Glass: A Concert of Seven Stories by Virginia Woolf” exemplifies the cohesion and fluidity essential in ensemble theatre.

The Rogue Theatre co-founder, actress and costume designer Cynthia Meier took on the difficult task of adapting Virginia Woolf’s punctuation and illustration-heavy literary work for the stage and proved she was equal to the challenge.

Woolf could dig into the fractional moments in one’s life and put words to the analytical and emotional meltdown, playing into the spiral of one’s internal monologue with humor and palpable depth.

The seven actors comprising the seven stories all exhibited precision in regards to timing and more than proved why each were chosen for this challenging production. If one actor were to have been out of sync, the environment of each carefully crafted story of the seven vignettes would have fissures of the seeping modern world.

Structured similarly as Dylan Thomas’ “Under Milk Wood,” the actors remained on stage for the duration of the play as characters alternated in breaking the fourth wall to provide narration.

“It’s a modernist thing,” Rogue Theatre artistic director Joseph McGrath said. “You just let it wash over you.”

At times, the rapidity at which the characters speak is difficult to keep up with — but not impossible, or without purpose. Though modern in style, the show is intellectual but accessible and will absorb audiences into the storytelling process.

in his fifth production with The Rogue Theatre, displayed maturity in his craft and ease in convincingly portraying an early-20th century man.

It is difficult to single out actors in phenomenal ensembles, as each elevates the other’s performance without showboating their own, but one actress received an impromptu round of applause for her vulnerability.

Patty Gallagher’s Mabel, a woman attending a fashionable high-society evening party in a dress she suddenly feels wretchedly ashamed of, is the early 20th century version of the jungle that is the high school cafeteria.

Mabel pours out her insecurities of never believing she is enough as Charles Zoll, the onstage pianist,

deftly plays Frédéric Chopin’s “Nocturne Op. 9 No. 1,” without manipulating emotion from the audience. If anything, Zoll provides the music Mabel’s heart senses as she realizes no dress can heal the wounds beneath the surface.

Gallagher’s performance in “The New Dress” led many in the audience to admit after the show that it had awoken unpleasant memories often difficult to put into words.

This was a feeling Woolf knew all too well and wrote of frequently, and it was masterfully captured throughout her selection of stories that were brought to life.

Theatrical lighting is considered a success when it isn’t pointed out but absorbs into the play. During the absurdly funny “The Mark on the Wall,” two actors spiral into an over-analysis of historical and philosophical comparisons to understand the purpose of the smudge on a wall. As the actors pretended to light a fire, their faces glowed from a reflection of the nonexistent fireplace, adding to the production’s magic.

Each story smoothly transitions between humorous and thoughtprovoking stories as the actors elegantly move around the stage.

Even a moment as simple as a couple’s kiss while Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” played on outshines any kiss in “The Notebook.”

This production doesn’t end after the actors take their bows. It is entertaining as well as enlightening, and not just because of the beautiful turn of phrases like “iron bullets of the moon.”

In the words of Virginia Woolf, “the sky veils her stars; then bares them.”

Seven of these bared stars perform at The Rogue Theatre until March 15.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES — There’s nothing frivolous about ABC’s “American Crime,” which means that it has a limited shot at becoming a significant hit.

It should.

The drama, which has its premiere this Thursday, deals unabashedly with race, religion, class, grief and other terms coming perilously close to replacing George Carlin’s seven dirty words you can’t say on network TV. “It’s one of the most powerful pieces of television I’ve been associated with in my whole career,” said Paul Lee, who has served as ABC Entertainment president since 2010. “It’s raw. It does just a superb job of breaking the rules, but also connecting in a deeply emotional way.”

Russ (Timothy Hutton) enters a hospital in Modesto, Calif., to identify the body of his son, who has died under mysterious circumstances.

Standard procedure calls for a brilliant but troubled detective to enter the scene and begin putting the pieces together like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, wrapping up the case just before the local news.

Not this time. In this series, the police take a back seat to stunned parents and a hodgepodge of fragile strangers affected by the death and the subsequent arrest of suspects, most of them people of color.

The characters include a black Muslim woman, a white crack addict and a self-hating Hispanic, all shattered as the case becomes more and more racially charged.

The show is the creation of John Ridley, who scripted “12 Years a Slave,” last year’s Oscar winner for best picture.

“One of the things I wanted to explore,” he said, “was the concept that it’s not about the police. It’s not about the prosecutors. It’s really about the families and what they deal with.”

The end result doesn’t shy away from serious issues. One of the most chilling scenes in an early episode is of a black man raising his hands and begging police not to shoot him, an eerie reminder of recent events in Ferguson, Mo., and New York.

“It was never our desire to exploit any of these things,” Ridley said. “At the same time, you want to build a space where people recognize this is not empty entertainment. We’re not worried about chasing events, but people, rightly or wrongly, are going to draw some parallels with what we’re doing.”

The series’ unflinching stance affected cast and crew. It wasn’t uncommon for those behind the camera to have tears in their eyes during the shoot, said Penelope Ann Miller, playing a devout Catholic whose daughter was sexually assaulted during the murder.

The series will air in the time slot previously occupied by “How to Get Away With Murder,” which has ended its successful first season. That’s probably going to take a lot of regular viewers of ABC’s not-so-serious “TGIT” lineup by surprise.

Good. Network TV could use a few more jolts.
