Three gun laws above the rest A recent study tested 25 gun laws for effectiveness but only three stood out above the rest

.

The Daily Wildcat

Implementing three specific state laws at the federal level could reduce firearm mortality by as much as 90 percent, according to a new study.

The research, published in The Lancet medical journal, was led

by Dr. Bindu Kalesan, assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University.

The researchers studied the effects of 25 total state firearm laws across the country and found that nine of those laws increased violence, nine prevented a number of fatalities and seven

made no difference.

The three measures most strongly observed to reduce gun related fatality were: firearm identification, background checks on firearm purchases and background checks on ammunition.

Martha McSally fights for women

BY AMANDA OIEN

The Daily Wildcat

Rep. Martha McSally is making big waves in her fight for women’s equality as Women’s History Month comes to an end.

“I was brought up in a family where I was told I could be anything I wanted to be, that I had no restrictions on me because I was a girl,” McSally said. “But it wasn’t until I went off to the Air Force Academy that I discovered there were restrictions on women.”

McSally is the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat and the first to command a fighter squadron in combat in United States history. McSally retired from the U.S. Air Force as a colonel in 2010.

McSally said she believes America is about equal opportunity and as long as you work hard to find a pathway to your dreams, you can achieve anything.

“It doesn’t matter what your gender, race or religion is.”

McSally said. “It just doesn’t matter.”

While she is a proponent for human rights in general, McSally is particularly outspoken about women’s rights.

“For me, my version of feminism is that girls and women can be anything they want to be,” McSally said. “They can achieve their dreams and potential, whatever that is, and they have that choice and opportunity, and they’re not artificially restricted by law or policy, but also by

culture and attitudes.”

These attitudes can be invisible barriers, according to McSally.

She said, however, that feminism isn’t something that is achieved at the expense of men achieving their dreams.

“We are all better, our country is better, when all men and all women are able to achieve their full potential,” McSally said.

She added that she’s fighting for equality in a broader sense, in ensuring that the American dream is available to everyone.

“Whatever it is you want to do, we need to make sure you have a pathway to be able to get the skills, the training, education and get the job or open up the business,” McSally said. “That’s what has made America great.”

McSally said she thinks the only way to make sure the American dream is still available to everyone in years to come is by

trafficking victim, or health care officials, so victims don’t remain unseen.

McSally isn’t just fighting for women in the present or future; she’s also fighting for from the past.

Recently, McSally introduced legislation for the WASP’s Arlington Inurnment Restoration Act. The bill restores the rights of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, who were female pilots during World War II, to have their ashes inurned at Arlington National Cemetery.

“It was infuriating to see that at the time the Pentagon is opening up all these positions to women in the military, they’re closing the gates of Arlington to the pioneers who went before us to pave the way,” McSally said.

McSally’s WASP Arlington Inurnment Restoration Act was unanimously passed in the House of Representatives in March.

“This is personal to me because when I first came to DavisMonthan to transition into the A-10 [attack aircraft], a number of the WASPs came alongside me as mentors and encouragers, or ‘wing-women,’ as I call them,” McSally said. “These women were awesome. They’re feisty and independent.”

McSally said she’s looking forward to continuing the lead to fight against defeating gender barriers.

“lifting the shackles” on the cost of higher education and cutting back on regulations that restrict business growth.

McSally also stressed acknowledging the importance of working to combat human trafficking in Southern Arizona and around the country.

Along with Rep. Loretta Sanchez from California, McSally is introducing legislation to enhance trafficking prevention efforts at the Department of Homeland Security.

“Especially in a border community, people equate trafficking to trafficking migrants over the border and there is some of that happening,” McSally said.

“But there’s a difference between smuggling and trafficking.”

The majority of trafficking victims in our country are Americans, according to McSally.

“They are the most vulnerable,” McSally said. “They’re runaway youth, the potentially disabled, those who come across hard times or are on the verge of homelessness.”

The victims of trafficking are taken prisoner, sometimes controlled with drugs and are sold over and over and put into sex or slave labor.

“It’s happening under our noses,” McSally said. “It’s happening in our community.”

McSally is working together with the federal, state and local governments to combat this human crisis by focusing on providing training for law enforcement officers, who are often the first to encounter a

U.S. Surgeon General to give 2016 commencement speech

BY AKSHAY syal

The Daily Wildcat

U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, will give this year’s commencement speech, the UA announced this week.

Murthy, who was appointed surgeon general in 2014, is responsible for presenting complex scientific information to the general public.

Born to Indian immigrants, Murthy became the youngest physician to ever be appointed surgeon general. He is also the first surgeon general of Indian descent.

With degrees from Harvard University and Yale University, Murthy spent his career advocating for improving public health in areas such as service, clinical care, research and entrepreneurship.

Some of the issues that Murthy has addressed include mental health, tobaccofree living, chronic disease prevention and, most recently, opioid addiction.

Murthy has also demonstrated an exceptional commitment to leadership.

While a freshman at Harvard, he cofounded VISIONS Worldwide, a nonprofit organization that sought to raise HIV and AIDS awareness in the U.S. and India.

He is also the co-founder of Doctors for America, a national movement consisting of 15,000 medical students and physicians advocating for affordable health care access.

“I’m excited,” said Jeannie Wilkening, a chemical engineering senior. “I think he should have plenty of experiences to talk about. ... I am more excited about him speaking than I have been about the past speakers recently.”

The 2016 commencement ceremony will take place May 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium.

New software to help with accessability

BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat

New software that is free for students to download has made its way to the UA and will help make documents and files easily accessible. Read and Write Gold offers various tools to guide undergraduate and graduate students with their reading and writing materials.

The software has text-to-speech capabilities, voice recognition and can also be used as a research aid for students with disabilities or for those learning a second language.

Dawn Hunziker, the information technology accessibility consultant for the Disability Resource Center, received a grant for the UA to introduce the software.

New act could institute a time frame for Pell Grant recipients

BY Devon Walo

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona Fifth Congressional District Representative Matt Salmon introduced the Pell for Performance Act last week, which, if passed, will require Pell Grant recipients to graduate within six years or their grants will become loans.

Pell Grants are given to those in financial need regarding education purposes and are provided by the United States federal government.

The difference between a Pell Grant and a loan is that recipients are not required to pay grants back.

“Our education funding policy needs to be revised to incentivize the completion of a college degree, not simply one’s college attendance,” Salmon said. “My bill would encourage Pell Grant recipients to finish their degrees in 150 percent of the published time or the grants would convert to loans that the students would repay to the taxpayer.”

The reasoning behind the act falls on the fact that taxpayers are paying money for students to receive degrees when many do not, even after six years, according to Salmon.

Lauren King, a nursing junior, completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and was awarded the Pell Grant based on her expected family contribution to her education expenses.

Jen Pimentel/The Daily Wildcat

Students in a general chemistry class use the collaborative learning space in the Science and Engineering Library on Friday, March 25. Roughly 30 percent of UA students are Pell Grant recipients and a newly proposed act would make grant recipients required to finish their degrees in six years, or the grant would convert to a loan.

“I actually don’t think that is a bad idea.

Yes, there are circumstances that cause people to need to stay in college longer, but six years is a long time,” King said. “Tax payers pay so much to be able to fund kids like me to go to school that it’s only fair ... to help contribute back.”

King said the Pell for Performance Act would not affect her personally, but if it did, it would be hard.

In order to be eligible for a Pell Grant, one must not have a bachelor’s degree and must be able to prove his or her financial need.

gun laws from page 1

Sydney Richardson/The Daily Wildcat

A variety of guns on display at Second Amendment Sports on Pima Street in Tucson. Firearm identification, background checks on firearm purchases and background checks on ammunition have been shown to reduce gun-related fatalities.

Firearm identification would call for guns to have chips placed in them that would allow authorities to trace a bullet back to a specific firearm.

Background checks, while required by federal gun resellers, are not required in private transactions, estimated to make up 40 percent of gun sales.

This loophole—known as the Brady Loophole—allows for those interested in seeking a weapon to bypass a background check by going through a private distributor.

The issue of gun violence has been steadily increasing over the years.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data last year that demonstrated cars and firearms are now killing people at the same rate for the first time in 60 years.

Thirty percent of all full-time UA undergraduates are currently receiving Pell Grants. The six-year graduation rate for those beneficiaries is 52.6 percent, according to a Hechinger Report analysis on the Pell Grant receivers’ graduation rate.

Breanna Santos, a pre-law freshman and Pell Grant recipient, said she disagrees with the proposed bill.

Santos said she thinks Pell Grants offer opportunities for students who may not normally be able to take a shot at higher education to try it, even if it’s not for them.

“I think college works for some people and it doesn’t work for some people,” Santos said. “Just because you don’t make enough money to attend school, even if it’s just for a year, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be allowed the opportunity to see if it works for you.”

Taxpayers have paid over $300 billion in Pell Grants since 2000, according to the press release.

“The result of this is essentially a squandered investment, with the U.S. taxpayer on the hook for billions of dollars in financial aid grants given to students who never earned a degree,” Salmon said.

“This has to stop.”

Furthermore, a recent report by the FBI found that there were roughly 10 more mass shootings per year from 2007 to 2013 than there were from 2000 to 2006.

A report published by researchers at Harvard University also found incidents of mass shootings have essentially tripled since 2011, contrary to many media assertions that the rates have not changed.

Arizona’s gun violence mortality rate is one of the highest in the nation. In fact, the gun death rate for Arizona is 40 percent higher than the national average.

This could be related to Arizona’s lackadaisical gun laws.

The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a national public interest law group, ranked Arizona gun’s laws with an “F.” The state’s laws were also ranked 47th in terms of strength of gun laws.

The number of people murdered

by guns in Arizona between 2001 and 2010 was 3,303, nearly twice as many casualties compared to those who died in combat in Afghanistan.

The Arizona Senate, however, is seeking to expand firearm ownership rights for residents of Arizona by advancing measures through legislation.

One of this bills, House Bill 2338, would allow firearms to be carried in public areas adjacent to schools. HB 2446, another bill, could potentially legalize dangerous weapons such as bombs, grenades and poison gas at the state level.

These bills, among others, have recently been approved by the house and will need final senate approval before heading to Gov. Doug Ducey for approval.

NEW SOFTWARE FROM PAGE 3

Dupont, coordinator of the graduate writing program for the Writing Skills Improvement Program. “Read and Write Gold will definitely help with students who have accessibility issues.”

Dupont said she uses the software mostly with her multilingual students who are learning English as a second language. She said it’s a great way for them to learn proper pronunciation and the images provided next to the text aid in learning. She said it helps them while reading because it organizes the text in such a way that they aren’t overwhelmed by it.

Mary Beth Foster, educational technology coordinator for the SALT Center, said Read and Write Gold features a lot of tools students can use. For example, students have the option to choose from four different colored highlighters that color code their textbook readings and then collect the highlights and put them on a separate Microsoft Word document or PDF file.

“This is super convenient for students who want to make outlines or study guides,” Foster said. “The majority of students are visual learners, so Read and Write Gold has a tool for that too.”

A tool within the program, called Fact Mapper, acts like a mind-mapping tool that creates bubbles for individual thoughts the user has. If a student is using this tool as a tree diagram, they can create one large bubble as the main subject and then multiple subbubbles for key words or ideas. Once the student is done, the software converts his or her notes into an outline to visually organize the student’s thoughts.

“Read and Write Gold has two main options, text to speech and speech to text,” Foster said. “Text to speech is programmed so that the computer will read to you. The voices are updated so they don’t sound robotic but now they sound sophisticated and more human-sounding. It also highlights the words while it’s reading and allows students to adjust the speed for slow and fast readers.”

Foster said tracking the speed will allow students to be more focused, and if they want to hear it on the go, they can download the reading file as an MP3 file. She said if students are working out at the gym but have to read assignments or textbook pages, the software allows them to listen to their readings on their smartphones.

“It works on a PC where the computer goes into a training mode that you are able to speak into the computer and it does as you command,” Fpster said. “It recognizes your speech patterns so it can mimic your voice and talk out ideas while typing at the same time.”

Students can also train the computer by reading passages while the computer listens and captures the pronunciations.

Foster said she created tutorial videos on how to use the tools. She encourages students to install the software. The SALT Center will work with students one-on-one to make sure they are getting the experiences they deserve.

arch 31 marked the seventh annual International Transgender Day of Visibility. People who identify as transgender and their allies celebrate the transgender community while raising awareness about discrimination and violence across the world that they still face today.

The day began out of a need for a transgender-focused holiday that held up the lives and stories of contemporary transgender people, rather than focusing on mourning the deaths and injustices historically faced by the transgender community. The Transgender Day of Remembrance, a much more somber and reflective day, began in 1999 and honors those in the transgender community who lost their lives to hate crimes.

Hamilton highlights minority performances

BY Sabrina Etcheverry

The Daily Wildcat

usical theater has favored affluent white people as its performers and its audience for decades. Most cities don’t have a prominent theater company, but if one does, it is typically located in a historically affluent white area. Tickets to big-name shows often start at $40 and can cost up to over $1,000.

This isolates numerous potential audiences from seeing shows and keeps young minorities from becoming performers. Additionally, most shows that include minority actors and actresses, like “Book of Mormon” or “Miss Saigon,” put these actors in a box by using stereotypes that often create more harm than good.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and the rest of the team behind “Hamilton,” however, are trying to put these traditions in the past.

“Hamilton,” a musical detailing the life of one of the Founding Fathers and America’s first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, made history during the 58th annual Grammy Awards by becoming the ninth musical ever, and first via satellite, to perform during the live-

broadcast show. Unsurprisingly, after its ground-breaking performance, “Hamilton” won the award for Best Musical Theater album.

This is nowhere near the performance’s first achievement.

“Hamilton’s” cast album, with dozens of tracks of rich dialogue, amazing prose and elevated composition, debuted at 12th on the Billboard 20, marking the highest debut for a cast recording since 1963.

Furthermore, the show captivated audiences of stars such as Beyoncé, to political giants like Hillary Clinton and even President Barack Obama.

After hearing of its long list of accomplishments, anyone unaware of “Hamilton” may be confused as to how the story of this group of dead white guys could be captivating to so many.

It’s because “Hamilton” is much more than that. As writer and star Miranda said, it is “a story about America then, told by America now.”

“Hamilton” employs a diverse cast of characters, from Puerto Rican-American Miranda, who plays Hamilton, to black actor, Leslie Odom Jr., who plays Aaron Burr.

Miranda is regarded as a genius in the musical theater world. His use of hip-hop and rap has altered what many people think of as musical theater. He has a more important goal in his use of these genres, though. As he said during his first performance of the opening song at the 2008 White House Poetry

Jam, “Hamilton” is “about the life of someone who I think embodies hiphop.” “[Hamilton] was born a penniless orphan, … became George Washington’s right-hand man, became treasury secretary, caught beef with every other founding father and all in the strength of his writing,” Miranda said. “I think he embodies the word’s ability to make a difference.”

The narrative of an immigrant orphan coming to the country, starting from nothing and creating a name and place for himself is a narrative that rings true to this day. Since, at its core, the life of Hamilton tells that story, Miranda chose to cast a group that embodies this idea in the context of our modern era.

Recognition and adoration of “Hamilton” have brought a necessary narrative to the forefront of the minds of many. Nevertheless, this cannot be a show that has fulfilled the quota of diversity for Broadway.

Messages that empower and inspire young generations of minorities are important for the future of this country.

Thus, “Hamilton” could pave the way for more playwrights, composers and directors to look for, highlight and work on such important shows. We cannot throw away our shot.

issues and brought a general public awareness of the transgender community to an unmatched level.

Jenner made an incredibly brave choice to come out publicly, allowing the media to cover nearly every aspect of her life. Coming out is an extremely personal and difficult process, and her doing so, as a celebrity, shifted the national conversation encompassing transgender people.

But this doesn’t mean Jenner shouldn’t be criticized, nor does it mean transgender people shouldn’t argue for more diverse media representations. Jenner’s experience is unique and largely unrepresentative of the trans community as a whole. She has the resources to undergo any medical procedure she chooses, she lives in one of the most tolerant and wealthiest cities in America and she has the celebrity status to push back against any blatant transphobia.

While Jenner has acknowledged her privilege and has the intention of improving the quality of life for other transgender people, some of her remarks can be counterproductive.

In a 2015 Time interview, for example, Jenner said, “So what I call my presentation, I try to take that seriously. I think it puts people at ease.

If you’re out there and, to be honest with you, if you look like a man in a dress, it makes people uncomfortable.”

In some ways, this comment is correct.

Transgender men and women who present themselves according to society’s expectations of masculinity and femininity are more often better received in public. But ideally, gender norms should be viewed as constructs and transgender people shouldn’t need to try to pass as binary men or women to be considered legitimate transgender persons.

The transgender and LGBTQ communities deserve representatives and spokespeople that exemplify more. There need to be advocates who can speak to the racism, classism, sexism and ableism that compound upon each other and who understand the ways systems of power and privilege oppress marginalized communities.

Jenner is a courageous human being who deserves our respect for going through one of history’s most public transgender-coming-out stories. But her narrative should not and cannot be the only narrative.

This year, for Transgender Day of Visibility, we must give opportunities and attention to those who are often silenced. Some advocates need space and the rest of us need to listen.

Hopefully society will reach a point in the future where Transgender Day of Visibility and coming out in general are both obsolete concepts.

Until then, we all must work to elevate the stories of those who are most hidden.

attended his shows, according to Thomas Fleming, astronomer and senior lecturer at the Steward Observatory and UA Department of Astronomy.

Vector began his term at Flandrau as the only projection source in the Planetarium, providing laser shows and images of the night sky from any place on Earth at any time of the day.

Throughout the years, Flandrau has added slide projectors, video projectors, an audio system and other special effects to its fulldome planetarium theater.

“The digital system, it’s amazing by no means, but there’s just something classic about a mechanical object that can really do such an amazing job,” said Shiloe Fontes, who works for exhibits and operations for Flandrau. “We’ve had a lot of time to get to see that great sky.”

Vector has captured the attention of the public for years, educating and exciting visitors about astronomy and the center itself. Vector’s goal in Flandrau was to serve as a guide to the stars and to effectively engage the

audience, especially children who attended his shows.

Vector has been at Flandrau for 40 years now, according to Kellee Campbell executive director of Flandrau. However, Vector stepped down from his regular role when budget cuts forced Flandrau to close its doors in 2009.

“We’ve had a lot of people have [sad] reactions,” Campbell said. “Hector is a part of what they remember as far as their experience in Flandrau, but he’s always going to be here.”

Vector will be removed after his final shows on Saturday to make room for approximately 25 new seats in the planetarium, according to the Arizona Daily Star .

Current plans for the planetarium’s renovation include removing Vector and adding new flooring, seating, lighting, acoustic wall treatments and more to the planetarium.

More details about the planetarium’s renovation will be revealed in April, according to Campbell .

She said part of Vector will be incorporated into a science center exhibit, but the final decision regarding the projector is yet to be made. Although he will still be around, Vector’s departure from the planetarium theater will leave many missing him.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Campbell. “He’s always going to be part of the story of Flandrau.”

UA students are also saddened by the projector’s departure. Vector’s technological sophistication and scientific presence will be missed.

“It’s sad,” said Mason Weakley, a management information systems sophomore. “It’s an amazing level of technology.”

Vector will perform his last show, “Tucson Sky and Beyond,” three times on Saturday at 3 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online now at flandrau.org or at the planetarium on Saturday.

UA looks at chilhood asthma Two researchers from the Arizona Respiratory Center are investigating the cause of childhood asthma, from genes to the environment Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases present in millions of American children. Two researchers at the Arizona Respiratory Center are trying to find out if genetics and the environment are contributing to the disease.

Fernando Martinez, UA regents’ professor and director of the Arizona Respiratory Center, had asthma as a child and relates to the difficulties of growing up with the disease.

“Asthma affects children’s capacity to grow up in a normal environment,”

Martinez said. “They miss school and other extracurricular activities, and this is one of the reasons I dedicated myself to decreasing the prevalence of this disease.”

Martinez started his research career when he published an article in Health magazine in 1992, that focused on second­ hand smoke and it’s effect on the likelihood of children developing asthma.

Martinez said he aims to develop a therapeutic product for asthma with his ongoing research.

“It is important to stimulate the immune system with bacterial products early in life,” Martinez said. “The reason why asthma

Vercelli’s team is currently working on the effect of environmental exposures on asthma. These exposures include farm environments and the presence of pets in the household.

“Asthma, at a present time, is a disease we can effectively cure, but not prevent, but this is why we are studying it, in hopes to prevent it,” Martinez said.

Donata Vercelli, professor of cellular and molecular medicine and associate director of the Arizona Respiratory Center, focuses her research on the complications that stem from having asthma as well as the genetic components of asthma.

“Asthma has very interesting mechanistic aspects that need to be elucidated,” Vercelli said. “Fifteen percent of the U.S. population is affected by asthma. The significance

UA’s sixth annual Laser Fun UA optics students put on Laser Fun Day for kids last weekend, teaching them about optics and engineering using games and demonstrations

BY CHEYENNE MERRICK The Daily Wildcat

What do kids and UA optical science and engineering students have in common?

They both love lasers.

UA students thought of a way to play with some cool lasers and teach kids about the field of optical science at the same time: by hosting a Laser Fun Day for kids.

The College of Optical Sciences hosted its sixth annual Laser Fun Day in the Meinel Optical Sciences building on Saturday, March 26.

The event included an array of booths, activities and demonstrations created

by UA students. Laser Fun Day aimed to encourage kids and young adults to learn more about optical science and engineering. Kids had the chance to explore the floors of the building and participate in demonstrations and activities like watching a cow eye ball dissection and observing the optical lens, avoiding lasers in the laser maze, and shooting a laser at a target at the laser arcade station.

“I came up with the concept for the laser arcade, which involves a water squirt gun rigged with a laser diode on the front, which is powered by the squirt gun’s trigger,” said Kaitlyn Williams, a senior studying optical science and engineering and this year’s Laser Fun Day coordinator. “The laser beam must be aimed at a far away moving detector, and the longer the player keeps the beam pointed at the detector, the more points the player will accrue.”

Laser Fun Day was also an educational experience that included stations in astronomy, optics in nature and women in optics. Kids explored various aspects of the field of optical science and were able to get hands-on experience through activities like looking through a solar telescope, taking a picture of their body image with an infrared camera and watching an astronomy show in the student-built planetarium.

The event is organized and run every year by members of the student-run organization, Student Optics Chapter, which is the UA’s representative chapter for the Optical Society and the International Society for Optics and Photonics.

“We are an organization that provides an educational, professional and social outlet for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Optical Sciences,” Williams said.

The club is involved in both the college and in outreach events, including hosting

science demonstrations at middle schools and a booth at the Tucson Festival of Books. Optical science students spend all year preparing for the event, creating the demonstrations and booths themselves.

“We are applying things we learn in class and lab,” said Andrew Rocha, a senior

studying optical sciences and engineering.

“The greatest thing about everything that we showcase here is that it’s a lot cheaper and a lot more accessible than you think.

The kits we use generally cost around $40, so these are projects middle schoolers can actually do themselves.”

Laser Fun Day will return next year with new activities and demonstrations to inspire kids to learn about optical science and see how fun lasers can be.

Navajo members talk Gold King Mine spill

Lena Naser/The Daily Wildcat

Duane “Chili” Yazzie, Perry Charley, Jani Ingram and Mae-Gilene Begay sit at the Gold King Mine panel on Tuesday, March 29. The Navajo people were highly affected by the mine spill.

The panel included members and educators of the Navajo Nation: Perry Charley, research and outreach director of Diné Environmental Institute of Diné College in Shiprock, New Mexico, Jani Ingram, associate professor of analytical and environmental chemistry at Northern Arizona University, and MaeGilene Begay, program director of the Navajo Community Health Representative and Outreach Program.

“The risk assessors [of the spill] failed to recognize the Navajo perspective,” Charley said during the panel.

This panel aimed to ensure the concerns and ideas of the Navajo people were being heard. Unlike some other communities that populate the affected areas, the water from the rivers played a role that was much more than economic.

Beyond the fact the Navajo people thrive on an agricultural livelihood and their irrigation systems were now contaminated, their spiritual connections with the water lent to the greatest hardship of the spill, which was not accounted for by officials.

“When one of the four elements are disturbed, we are not walking in harmony with the earth,” Charley said.

Thus researchers such as Chief and Beamer, as well as the members of the panel, have taken initiative in reclaiming the river from the toxic grasp of the mine spill, keeping the urgent Navajo sentiment in mind. While research is still being conducted on the spill and its effects, the united front put up by the Navajo community is making headway on the issue.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency was performing an investigation of the Gold King Mine, a mine that was no longer in use and that neighbors Cement Creek, on Aug. 5, 2015.

During the years of abandonment, acid mine drainage had accumulated behind a natural soil plug, which worked to keep the acidic toxins and chemicals contained. This accumulation of acidic mine drainage is the result of water refilling old mining tunnels and mixing with ore that becomes acidic when in contact with air and water.

Typically, the drainage includes toxic chemicals such as lead, arsenic, mercury and iron, which turns yellow when watered down.

During the investigation, probing by bulky machinery disturbed the soil and the plug was displaced, releasing the “yellow beast.” It was estimated that 3 million gallons of acidic drainage from the mine gushed out into the creek, flowed into the Animas River and reached the San Juan and Colorado Rivers.

This network of rivers and creeks belong to the Colorado River Basin, which spans through many states, including Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and California, and is home to 12 different American Indian tribes. The spill had a special significance to the Navajo people.

“We identify ourselves with the basic elements of the Earth,” said Duane “Chili” Yazzie, president of the Shiprock Chapter of the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, New Mexico.

To the Navajo people, the Gold King Mine spill represented a yellow beast, toxic and treacherous. Without water, one is an incomplete being, unable to function properly on this Earth. This is the stark the reality and sentiment of many Navajo people affected by the Gold King Mine spill in the fall of 2015.

When the mine spill occurred, the spirit and livelihood of many clans in the Navajo Nation, as well as other tribes, were destroyed.

Nearly eight months later, the river basin and its environment, as well as the communities surrounding the basin, are still feeling the traumatic events of the spill.

Karletta Chief, a specialist in hydrology and tribal extension in the UA’s Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science, has been putting forth efforts with her team to research the spill.

Recently, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences granted Chief and her colleague, Paloma Beamer, $434,000 to fund their work with the Navajo Nation on the exposure and risk issues associated with the spill.

Chief and her colleagues set up a panel regarding the spill, titled “Navajo Perspectives on the Gold King Mine Spill,” on Tuesday at the UA. The panel served as a platform for the voices of the affected Navajo people to be heard.

WHERE WILL THE COUNTRY’S TOP RECRUIT GO?

BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat

College basketball fans finally received a first glimpse as to what to expect from the freshman class for next season in the McDonald’s All-American game in Chicago on Wednesday night. The top uncommitted prospect, No. 2 small forward and the No. 3 prospect in the country, Josh Jackson, stole the show, earning co-MVP honors with 19 points and three rebounds.

Programs across the country were foaming at the mouth and menacingly rubbing their hands imagining the athleticism and offensive game that Jackson could bring to the table.

He has cut his list to three schools—UA, Kansas and Michigan State—so the battle between college basketball’s blue-blood coaches is in full effect. Each program believes they’re in good position for the Jackson sweepstakes and until the words actually come out of his mouth, college basketball fans will just have to hold their breath.

Arizona Head coach Sean Miller knows his team is in desperate need for productivity in the small forward position. Miller had no other choice but to place Allonzo Trier, who was a natural shooting guard, at small forward.

Trier was playing out of position and sometimes revealed his incapability of playing small forward with the bigger defensive matchups, especially against

Oregon’s Dillon Brooks. So Jackson can revive the Wildcats in that field.

A video posted on Instagram by Kobi Simmons stated that Jackson is going to be a future commit to Arizona and Jackson wasn’t phased by it. In fact, Jackson embraced Simmons’ video, which raised eyebrows of many people who follow recruiting.

In the McDonald’s All-American media day on Tuesday, Jackson touched on the conversation he had with Miller. Both have experience with each other on USA’s basketball team in the FIBA U19 World Championships a summer ago.

“I think that was a good experience to bond a little bit and for me to get a feel on how he is as a coach,” Jackson told Prep Hoops Illinois. “I like what I saw of him.

I can say over that short span of time that we worked together, he made me a better player.”

Miller has already had in-game coaching experience with Jackson so that could potentially be the deciding factor for five-star recruit.

Kansas The good folks of Lawrence, Kansas, believe that they have just as much of a shot to land Jackson as the ones in the Old Pueblo.

Rock Chalk nation has a great chance to woo Jackson just by the Jayhawks’ current situation with players either graduating or bolting to the NBA .

If Jackson were to take his talents to Kansas, he would be an immediate starter as well as a true leader. Head coach Bill Self

is losing three players capable of playing the small forward position in Wayne Selden, Perry Ellis and Devonte’ Graham.

The rich history behind Kansas’ basketball program put the Jayhawks in great position and Self can maintain the trend of coaching top small forward prospects.

“A lot of history and a great program,” Jackson said. “Coach Self is a great coach ... and he pushes his players to make them better no matter who they are. Like [Andrew] Wiggins last year, he pushed him a lot.”

Michigan State Though many believe Tom Izzo is on the outside looking in since Jackson never took an official visit to the school, Sparty is in very serious contention to land the small forward.

Jackson hails from Flint, Michigan, which is only a 52-minute trek to East Lansing, and with Jackson claiming to be acquaintances with the current recruits, wearing green and white is a possibility for the wing.

“I’m really good friends with all of their 2016 recruits and Michigan State is home,” Jackson said. “That’s where I’m from and I’ve been watching them for so many years and I grew up a State fan.”

Wildcats head out on Rocky Mountain road trip

BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

Jen Pimentel/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona infielder Cody Ramer (13) runs to first after a hit to the outfield on Sunday, March 6. Arizona baseball travels to Utah this weekend.

Late-game heroics have become the norm for the Arizona baseball team lately.

A walk-off double by Bobby Dalbec capped off a five-run ninth inning for the Wildcats on Saturday, propelling them to a 6-5 victory and a series win over the UCLA Bruins.

“I’ve been a part of a lot of good wins, but that’s about as special as they come,” Arizona head coach Jay Johnson said after the game.

The Wildcats were walk-off winners once again Wednesday against the University of California, Riverside.

The Highlanders tied the game at 3-3 in the top of the seventh, but the Wildcats rallied in the bottom of the ninth, bringing home the gamewinning run via a walk-off walk from Ryan Aguilar.

“That’s who we are, and it was good to see it come back around,” Johnson said. “We had to grind.”

No matter who the opponent is, wins are hard to come by. While Johnson will take them any way he can get them, he’d prefer his team didn’t

continue to rely on late-game heroics to do so.

“I just wish we wouldn’t wait until the ninth inning,” he said. “It’s just another example of how the game is extremely hard. This[is] not flag football and basketball. It is so different when you add the element of pitching, ... so I think it just reaffirms to our guys how hard it is to win, and then it’s not about winning and losing, it’s about our play and we have to be prepared to play well every game.”

After splitting the two-game series against UC Riverside, the Wildcats have a 17-8 overall record and are 3-3 in Pac-12 Conference play. Their focus will now shift to the Utah Utes, as they’ll host the Wildcats for a threegame series, which starts Friday.

“We’ve set this season up so that the only game that matters is the one in front of us,” Johnson said. “I think our players have done a good job buying into that.”

The Utes struggled to begin the season, starting the year with a 3-12 record, but have picked it up substantially since Pac-12 play began.

They beat Oregon in two out of three games in Eugene two weeks ago, then

took two of three from ASU this past weekend in Tempe.

Yet, Arizona’s offense—one that leads the conference in runs and hits— should find Utah’s pitching staff to its liking. The Utes have the lowest ERA in the conference (4.87) and opposing hitters have batted .289 against their pitchers, also a conference-worst mark.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats will start JC Cloney on the mound in Friday’s series-opener. Cloney has started in seven games for Arizona this season, compiling a 3-1 record and a 2.68 earned run average. In his last start, Cloney pitched a complete game,and only allowed one run in Arizona’s 6-1 victory over UCLA. He’ll look to build off that success Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Johnson has yet to announce his starting pitchers for games two and three of the series, which are scheduled to start Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 12 p.m., respectively.

NCAA Regionals on deck for gymnastics

BY Matt wall

The Daily Wildcat

Tom Price/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona gymnast Kennady Schneider performs her floor routine in McKale Center on Saturday, Feb. 27. The GymCats are competing in the NCAA Regionals on Saturday, April 2.

With the NCAA Regionals quickly approaching, Arizona gymnastics has the chance to make a name for itself in the NCAA Championships under first-year head coach Tabitha Yim. The team has believed in itself this season and on April 2 all that belief will come to fruition against some of the top teams in the nation.

Arizona will first go up to bat against regional host Georgia. The Bulldogs are ranked No. 10 in the nation and placed fifth overall in the SEC tournament.

Georgia coached by Danna Durante and has three seniors on the roster. Each knows how to compete in high pressure situations. The seniors were all recently named NACGC/W regular season All-Americans. Durante is in her third season as head coach and has taken her team to a top-10 finish three years in a row.

Speaking of the Tigers, LSU is currently ranked No. 3 in the country and features Ashleigh Gnat, the No. 1 competitor nationally on both vault and floor. Myia Hambrick, a teammate of Gnat, is 10th in the all-around national competition and 17th on bars.

The Tigers are coached by Sara “D-D” Breaux, who has coached her team for 39 years—one of the longest time spans in the

nation—making her a mastermind in the sport.

Oregon State is a phenom that the Wildcats are very familiar with in the Pac-12 Conference.

The Beavers are coached by Tanya Chaplin,who has given the program 19 years of excellence, as she holds the most wins in program history.

The Beavers have only three seniors on the roster, which could prove to be a challenge in competition.

The teams competing in Athens, Georgia, are Michigan State and George Washington.

The Spartans faced Arizona in the first meet of the season and fell to the Wildcats 195.700193.775. MSU is coached by Kathie Klages who has coached the program for 25 straight years.

The Colonials have clinched their first backto-back regionals appearance in program history. GW has an overall record of 26-6 this season and placed third overall in the EAGL Championships last week.

One thing is certain: Arizona does not have an easy path toward the NCAA Championships, but the team has proven time and time again that it can compete against some of the best in the country. Only time will tell if Arizona can make its way to the top.

Arizona freshman guard Justin Simon (3) eyes the court during Arizona’s 94-62 win against Stanford in McKale Center on Saturday, March 5. Simon decided to transfer from Arizona, hoping to receive more playing time.

Mixed results for one-and-done transfers

BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat

T

he news about Arizona guard Justin Simon transferring wasn’t necessarily shocking to folks in Tucson, considering the program has a history of transfers.

Rather than honoring the process and maturing over a span of four years, players decide to take the easy route to another program. There’s nothing wrong with a desire to change, because it also works out for the better sometimes.

The Wildcats have had a history of transfers so here are the notable transfers in recent years.

Will Bynum 2001-2003: Bynum played two seasons for Arizona under Hall of Fame head coach Lute Olson and averaged 13.5 points and three assists per 40 minutes in his first season.

He competed for minutes with Salim Stoudamire and Jason Gardner who went down as two of Arizona’s greats, so the hungriness to play kicked in and Bynum didn’t receive the minutes.

In his second season at the helm, Bynum

only appeared in eight games and left the program halfway through the 2003 season in January to go play for Georgia Tech.

Bynum nearly cut down the nets with the Yellow Jackets in 2004, falling to Emeka Okafor and Connecticut in the national championship. Bynum finished the season averaging 9.6 points per game.

He eventually evolved into a journeyman in the NBA playing eight seasons for three different teams.

Sidiki Johnson 2011-2012: Rated as the No. 18 power forward in the nation according to ESPN in 2011, Johnson was one of four recruits signed to the infamous recruiting class to elevate the program to another level following the Elite Eight run the season prior.

Johnson was a 6-foot-8 forward from New York expected to take the reins as a bruiser in the post once Derrick Williams decided to become the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft.

In his lone season with the Wildcats, Johnson averaged 0.3 points per game and only played in three games. He decided to take his talents elsewhere and play for Providence.

Johnson only played one season for the Friars and jetted to Wabash Valley College in Illinois before going overseas and since then, his whereabouts are unknown.

Josiah Turner 2011-2012: This is where Arizona fans should hold their breaths until the plethora of five-star recruits hit the floor this season. Turner was the No. 3 point guard, according to ESPN, and was expected to be the first natural point guard for head coach Sean Miller.

Being from a rough area in Sacramento, California, the life from back home never left him as Turner was involved with alcohol and marijuana antics off the court.

Turner wasn’t even a transfer, because Miller asked him to leave the program and following his dismissal from the team, the troubled guard was arrested for DUI with blood alcohol levels of 0.15 and 0.16, twice the legal limit.

Turner flirted with Larry Brown and Southern Methodist University, but ended up overseas instead.

Angelo Chol 2011-2013: The San Diego native was the final piece of the puzzle to arguably Miller’s most disappointing recruiting class. Chol committed to the Wildcats to provide rim protection and become a physical shot blocker.

Chol racked up a career-high 29 blocks in his first season. He averaged 2.4 points per game in his career with Arizona before transferring to San Diego State.

Chol picked up right where he left off, providing the Aztecs 4.2 points and 0.5 blocks per game. In the grand scheme of Chol’s career, his productivity was minimum considering he was once upon a time a four-star recruit.

Craig Victor 2014-2015: Arizona already contained a deep frontcourt rotation with Rondae HollisJefferson, Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski and Dusan Ristic, so being a natural power forward meant Victor had to fight for playing time.

He played spotty minutes with just over seven per contest and thought his worth was being undervalued by Miller, so Victor pulled the Bynum card after eight games of play and had a homecoming in Louisiana playing for Louisiana State.

Since transferring to the Bayou Bengals, Victor has averaged 11.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Of course it’s tough to judge Victor’s efforts when the potential No. 1 pick of the upcoming draft in Ben Simmons is sharing the ball with him.

Only one season is in the books for Victor, but his future playing right in his backyard looks much brighter than the Tucson sun.

A collection of work featured in the Tucson Museum of Art exhibition, “Into The Night.” The exhibition explores the beauty of the evening sky and offers a discounted admission to students.

‘Into the Night’ exhibit explores evening beauty

BY Sammy Cherukuri The Daily Wildcat

The Tucson Museum of Art offers Tucsonans and art enthusiasts the experience of a lifetime.

The museum recently opened a new exhibition, “Into the Night: Modern and Contemporary Art and the Nocturne Tradition”, that features paintings, photographs and paper works that showcase the auras and mysteries of the night skies.

These works, traditionally called nocturnes, display the night sky in context with natural and rural landscapes. Nocturnes also showcase urban works of illuminated scenes from city and electric lights, as well as night time abstractions that allude to the magical qualities of the night sky and the mind’s subconscious realm.

“Into the Night” offers the community an artistic realm of night time wonders at fair prices. Normal admission is $12, but students, active military members and seniors can experience the exhibit along with the other galleries for $7.

The museum prides itself on upholding professionalism and elegance.

One enthusiastic and culturally appreciative security guard named Sandy O’Neil stood at the entrance of the main exhibit. She expressed her sincere happiness about the exhibit’s public attendance. “‘Into the [Night]’ has a high popularity rate,” O’Neil said. “Along with the downstairs Chinese zodiac exhibit, this gallery tends to attract a lot of art majors and appreciators. We had about 600 people come in on opening day.”

The entrance of the exhibit displayed an enormous painting of the night sky, welcoming visitors in with an alluring atmosphere. The architecture of the entire gallery follows a squared, spiral pattern, giving equal representation to every work.

The crowds that attended the gallery ranged from senior citizens to small groups of children on school field trips. “Coyote,” which displays an eerie 1930s photograph of a wild coyote looking into the camera was a hit with the crowds of children.

Elizabeth Mott, museum tour guide and

volunteer, takes great pride in her role in the art community.

“I’m partial to playing music during my tours at times,” Mott said. “I sometimes make a music game for my audience. I would play two certain songs while observing a piece, such as Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller,’ or Alfred Hitchcock’s main theme. I would then proceed to ask the audience what song captured the piece’s message more. I love receiving the positive feedback and reactions from the crowd.”

Jake Fischer’s “Truck on Maple” displayed a chilling oil painting of a dimly lit house. From a distance, the painting simply looked like a night time photograph. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the piece is actually an oil paint composition rather than a photo.

Other pieces, such as Robert Renfrow’s “Ozark Night- Moth and Fireflies” and “The Lightning Over the Twin Towers,” offer audiences nighttime photographs with differing shutter speeds and light capture.

These pieces highlight natural phenomena, such as lightning storms and grassy fields with nighttime insects.

Rocky Schenck’s “Island” proved to be a highly popular piece. “Island” displays a dark silhouette of a man sitting on a sandbar.

Sherri Green, gallery overseer, agreed with the painting’s positive feedback.

“It’s such a gorgeous painting,” Green said.

“It sort of displays a heavenly landscape, while also giving a sinister sense. I love the purple lighting, it contrasts with the black lighting on the ocean. The man represents our individual journeys in this beautiful yet hazardous world.

This piece is definitely a must see.”

Green’s sentiments could extend to the exhibit in general. It is a must see for all art enthusiasts.

“Into the Night” will run until July 10, giving UA students a chance to experience the nighttime wonders. The fair pricing and its convenient location downtown makes this exhibit a excursion that all can enjoy.

Nine super sick April Fools pranks

BY Monica Koth

The Daily Wildcat

Have a roommate who ate all of your Cheez-It’s while you were asleep? Did your friend lock you out of your phone for two hours, making you miss the most important Snapchat invitation of your life? Feel the need to get back at your significant other because of that one annoying thing they did a week ago? Here are nine easy April Fools’ Day pranks to pull on people you know: 1. Plastic wrap everything There’s a reason why this prank is a classic: It’s simple, but effective.

Chances are the person you pull this prank on won’t even notice anything at first, but once they do, they’ll probably think they might as well just buy new things rather than take the time to remove an entire store’s supply of clear plastic cling wrap from everything they own.

All you have to do is buy some plastic wrap and wrap everything you can. Their pillows, their laptop, their cat; everything is fair game.

Disclaimer: Please don’t actually plastic wrap their cat.

2. Put their number on Craigslist Perhaps the only good thing you can use Craigslist for is to prank your friends.

Create a weird advertisement—a hot hookup, a job opening for a competitive babysitter, a competition for who has the best Batman impression—and include your friend’s phone number at the end. They will get calls all day and have no idea why.

3. Switch sides of the room Regret not moving in the first day because your roommate got the better side? Well, here’s your chance to snag it.

Get some friends, or your own macho self, and swap sides. At the very least, you could switch your beds around and give your roommate a real treat when they walk into the room and see you in a place you probably shouldn’t be.

4. Change the settings on your friend’s phone or laptop Take advantage of the fact that you know your friends’ passwords by changing the settings on their phones or laptops.

Change the language, the icons, download some sketchy images and browsers, and enjoy the fact that they regret not taking Spanish 201 seriously.

5. Fake a break up Only for those that are brave enough and trust their one-year anniversary actually means something. Send a text message to your significant other with something along the lines of “We need to talk about us ...” and don’t reply. Watch the terror ensue. Hopefully they will forgive you once they realize it is a joke.

Hopefully.

6. Pretend to be a stalker Similar to the Craigslist prank, give your friend’s number and email out, but this time to people you know. Tell them some random facts and give them pictures of the friend you want to prank, then send the victim the information from unknown numbers in the creepiest way possible.

7. Place a “voice-activated” sign on electronics around campus Feel like technology is outdated? Test your skills in Photoshop and Microsoft Word by creating signs that say “voiceactivated” on various technologies around campus, such as the CatPrints stations or the microwaves in the dorms. Sit back and watch as people try to communicate with inanimate objects.

8. Switch similar-looking foods around Tired of seeing your roommate eat all of the food you bought three days ago?

You can get back at them by replacing that item with another similar-looking food item that they would not expect.

Switch yogurt with mayonnaise or orange juice with macaroni and cheese sauce mix. That will teach them.

9. Place notes around their room Does your friend invite you over to their place to hang out, only to abandon you in their room while they chat up the neighbors or take a 30-minute bathroom break? Take advantage of the trust they have that you won’t disturb their room and do exactly that.

Grab a pack of sticky notes and get writing. Write a fun story about them, a pretend love note or put words that they say too much on sticky notes, and hide them everywhere. If you hide them well enough, this prank can last longer than just a day.

Meet UA author Julie Iromuanya UA assistant professor of English Julie Iromuanya’s debut novel, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Doctor,’ was nominated for a PEN/Faulkner Award. Her novel explores the complexity of immigration and assimilation

BY CASEY ALDAVA The Daily Wildcat

Calling all Tucson book clubs and reading enthusiasts with an itch for something new and local. “Mr. and Mrs. Doctor” follows the journey of Nigerian immigrants Ifi and Job Obgannaya, who came together through an arranged marriage based on lies.

The couple lives in Nebraska where they face the stark realities of life as immigrants, the struggles of marriage with a stranger, marginalization in an already marginalized world and the American dream. “Mr. and Mrs. Doctor” is the first novel

by Julie Iromuanya, an assistant professor in the Department of English. The novel has been recognized as a finalist for the 2016 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction as well as the 2016 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for debut fiction.

Coffee House Press released “Mr. and Mrs. Doctor” in May 2015 and Iromuanya has since done readings on campuses and at festivals, including two different panels at the recent Tucson Festival of Books. Iromuanya has brought quality literature and acclaim to the UA with “Mr. and Mrs. Doctor.”

The inspiration for the widely well-received novel originated from a simple character sketch for an undergraduate fiction writing workshop.

The idea began with thoughts about African immigration and the struggle that is present even today for Africans to assimilate into American culture.

“I didn’t know it was a book at the time,” Iromuanya said. “I did this composite character ... and later I started doing research and thinking about what it means for a lot of African immigrants.

This is changing, of course, but for a long time many African immigrants kind of rejected assimilation.”

The difficulty of assimilation was a topic that Iromauanya researched thoroughly when writing her book.

“Assimilation has been, for a very long time, this ideal that when you come over, you try as hard as you can to blend in and that requires you to lose a lot of your homeland and your culture,” Iromuanya said. “But what I found in my research is that there were a lot of African immigrants who were resisting that very strongly. So they could be thought of more as sojourners: People who came here very invested in succeeding economically and otherwise but not as invested in the social fabric. ... In many ways, that can create problems.”

This research led to the first designs for the main character, Job, who comes to America to attend college and become a doctor. This, however, doesn’t work out like he may have hoped.

Ifi wouldn’t come to life until many years later, during a trip to Nigeria. Oftentimes children from poorer families have to work as household help for middle-class families. The children in these situations, however, are not necessarily in dire situations. In exchange for their work, the children receive food and shelter, and often have school

JULIE IROMUANYA, assistant professor in the English department, sits in the Modern Languages building on Friday, March 25. Iromuanya’s debut novel, “Mr. and Mrs. Doctor,” was recognized as a finalist for the presitigious 2016 PEN/Faulkner Award.

expenses paid for while sending money home to their families.

Iromuanya acknowledged the initial shock of seeing young, prepubescent children working in homes away from their families, but also noted the inspiration that comes from the positive attitudes of these children.

“People were really proud of their work and very cognizant of the ways in which that position could help them,” Iromuanya said. “That was sort of the moment when the character Ifi came into the picture. What kind of situation would allow [a young girl in that position] to ascend economically and socially?”

The arranged marriage between Ifi and Job in the novel is not the forced archetype of child brides, however.

“It’s like the possibilities for her—she believes at least—are endless for the dreams that she wants to come true,” Iromuanya said.

Iromuanya juxtaposed the two characters to illustrate their views on what it means to be successful in America and what they want from America.

Iromuanya also invests in the marriage that now exists between Ifi and Job, strangers to each other beginning a life together. Iromuanya depicts their struggles with the lies that formed the foundation of their arrangement and how to try to get to know each other and make a relationship that has so much at stake work.

“How much is she invested in keeping up the lie?” Iromuanya said. “She sort of has to figure out how she wants to handle that, if she wants to expose him or if she will play along with it because of the status position that allows her among family and so on back home.”

Job is also revealed to have had a secret first wife in a green card marriage situation, which complicates their relationship more.

“They’re really two types of arranged marriages in the book,” Iromuanya said. “So, I also wanted to present a duality of the two types of arrangements.”

In the book, Ifi posses her own perspective on immigration as a lower-class, Midwestern woman trying to make ends meet. She feels a sort of cognitive dissonance between resentment toward immigrants like Job, and her necessity for the money that her green card marriage provided.

“Part of her character is like a little bit of desperation,” Iromuanya said. “The other side of it is a little bit of entitlement, too.”

With so many of the novel’s themes having relevance to society today, it is not hard to see why “Mr. and Mrs. Doctor” has received so much recognition.

Iromuanya advises student writers at the UA to save all their writings, as one thought can lead to great success.

The PEN/Faulkner Award ceremony will be on May 14 in Washington D.C. and the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize winner will be announced at the 2016 PEN Literary Awards Ceremony on April 11.

As one of only five finalists for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize and among the four for the PEN/ Faulkner Award, Iromuanya’s recognition by such prestigious awards is an honor.

When one of our Wildcat professors has received such an honor, all of the UA is proud.
