HISTORY

Spring Fling has sprung for a little while at UA

BY BRICE LENNON The Daily Wildcat

The flashing rides and big Ferris wheel of the annual Spring Fling carnival are back on the UA Mall this week for the 42nd time. Rides, games, food booths and live performances are all scheduled to continue one of the university’s favorite traditions.

Spring Fling is still rallying support for UA clubs and bringing the broader Tucson community together. Spring Fling was started in 1974 by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona in partnership with the Arizona Alumni Association. It was intended to provide clubs the opportunity for creative fundraisers and this result has been drawing huge crowds every year since.

The carnival is the UA’s largest club fundraiser and one of the few UA events that is entirely student run.

Touted as the largest student-run carnival in the country, ASUA has a team of eight directors who organize the event. They partner with UA clubs and student organizations who apply to run game or food booths. Forty student clubs are participating this year and there will be over 40 rides and games.

Spring Fling was originally held on Bear Down Field and expanded to the UA Mall as more rides, attractions and booths were brought in each year. The event was held off campus

at Rillito Downs racetrack for a number of years, a side effect of the construction of the Manuel Pacheco Integrated Learning Center.

The move was always intended to be temporary, however it was not until the festival’s 40th anniversary in 2014 that Spring Fling was brought back to the UA Mall.

“UA is a central part of the Tucson community and it is great to see the support,” said Aaron Aguirre, marketing major and Spring Fling programming director.

Spring Fling has clasically featured local bands and school groups that have shared the stage with national icons. No Doubt and the Smithereens were the Friday night headliners of Spring Fling in 1992.

The Los Angeles-based duo, The Score, will be performing Friday at 7:30 p.m. this year, and Amplified A Cappella, the UA’s newest coed a cappella group, will also be among the musical guests, performing at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Spring Fling reached out to the community for sponsorship in recent years. Coca-Cola, Geico, Papa John’s and FMI rentals are some of the sponsors this year. Grecycle, a local business, also partnered with Spring Fling to collect used cooking oil from the event’s food booths.

The company will then convert it into biodiesel, which will help fuel CatTran shuttles as part of a greater

sustainability effort.

Spring Fling raised over $60,000 for UA clubs in 2013. ASUA hopes this year will yield similar results.

The event not only fundraises for clubs, it also gives back to the community. Wristbands will be $5 off on Friday with the donation of four non-perishables for the community food bank. Admission is free on Sunday with the donation of two children’s books for the Reading Seed or with a recyclable Coca-Cola product.

FAQ

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

Everything you need to know

BY TAYLOR BRESTEL

The Daily Wildcat

It’s that time of year again: when a significant portion of the UA Mall gets blocked off, causing confusion among new students. Spring Fling begins this weekend.

The UA accepts several thousand new freshmen every year from all over the country and many may not know what exactly Spring Fling is. Here are the answers to several frequently asked questions about the event, from Miranda Beck, dance senior and executive director of Spring Fling.

Daily Wildcat: What is Spring Fling?

Miranda Beck: Spring Fling is the largest student-run carnival in the country. It’s the largest campus fundraiser for clubs and organizations. All the food booths and game booths are run by clubs and all the money they make goes back to them.

Who organizes the event?

Spring Fling is entirely student-run. We work with a lot of community partners, but it’s myself and eight other student directors. We plan the entire event.

When is Spring Fling?

April 8-10 Friday: 4–11 p.m.

Saturday: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sunday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Admission closes an hour prior to closing time.

Where is it located?

On the UA east Mall.

Marketing Director Santiago Kloehr, a marketing senior, answered a few more questions about how to prepare for Spring Fling.

What should people bring?

Santiago Kloehr: You get in free with your CatCard, so make sure you have it.

DRIVE SMART USE METROPIA TO FIND PARKING FASTER

GET REWARDED TAKE THE SMART ROUTE AND EARN EXCITING GIFTS

Would you recommend getting a wristband or tickets for the rides?

The best thing to do would be to buy an unlimited ride wristband. There are over 40 rides and attractions and they are rides that will make you the bravest of Wildcats.

Is there any advice you’d give to a first-time attendee?

Try to get the most of it. It’s at the foot of your door for three days, so come as much as you want. Take advantage of it and make it a tradition.

What’s your favorite part of Spring Fling?

My favorite part is how interconnected it makes not only the campus, but the Tucson community. I don’t know any other event where so many groups come together.

The wristbands are $30 on Friday and $20 on Sunday, but you can get $5 off the price by donating four nonperishable items to the Community Food Bank. The website also lists prices for tickets and how many tickets each of the rides require.

Parking is free in the lots north of Speedway Boulevard and south of Sixth Street during Spring Fling, and certain garages such as Highland Avenue, Park Avenue, Main Gate, Tyndall Avenue and Sixth Street are free to park in on Saturday and Sunday. Other garages may require a fee.

The Spring Fling website, springfling. arizona.edu, has more information for the curious.

EXPERIENCE

Spring Fling is more than just a distraction FILE PHOTO/THE DAILY WILDCAT

BY EMILY HEDGES

The Daily Wildcat

Last April, as I walked down the UA Mall toward the hustle and bustle of the carnival, I knew this was going to be the best Spring Fling yet.

The annual spring carnival is put on by the UA and attracts thousands of visitors each year.

The sketchy carnival rides and smell of freshly cut grass are things that many Tucsonans, including myself, cannot resist. Watching the east side of the Mall get taken over by white tents and giant machines is one of the most exciting and exhilarating experiences a UA student can undergo.

Spring Fling always brings back warm memories. I made a friend two years ago during Spring Fling. When I first saw him, he was sitting on the steps of the Administration building counting quarters, which he later used to pay for my funnel cake. Pro tip: Find yourself a man who will buy you deep-fried foods.

But junk food is not the only thing that makes Spring Fling stand out above the rest.

The carnival provides a time for students to relax from their studies and engage with other students who are holed up in their dorms the rest of the year. As a freshman, Spring Fling

provided me an opportunity to go out, have fun and meet other UA students. I was not disappointed.

Spring Fling is not just a place where students go to distract themselves from studying. Clubs fundraise by running booths and selling carnival-goers foods that will inevitably give them heart attacks.

Tucsonans bring their children to experience the rides and games. Spring Fling creates a sense of community around campus, something that is especially important for outof-state students like myself.

Last year, I enjoyed myself while riding the bumper cars and roller coasters, not to mention the merry-go-round. I left with a cactus painted on my face and a belly full of greasy food. I felt like I was in heaven. As a student, I felt honored to be part of the largest student-run carnival in the nation.

Spring Fling is a UA tradition that will hopefully never end. This year, plan on spending the weekend enjoying the carnival on the Mall. Despite being surrounded by screaming children and sweaty young adults, I promise you, you won’t regret your experience.

NUMBERS

Spring Fling split up by numbers, costs

BY NICK JOHNSON The Daily Wildcat

With the 42nd annual Spring Fling just around the corner, it’s important to look at some of the figures behind this event, considering it’s a major source of revenue for many groups on campus.

The UA spends around $190,000 on Spring Fling every year.

The profit from the event, which is divided among the clubs that participate, was $72,000 last year.

Spring Fling is expected to raise between $75,000 and $80,000 for participating clubs this year.

Santiago Kloehr, marketing director for Spring Fling, is excited about the revenue it will bring to UA clubs.

“All the clubs have an equal chance,” Kloehr said. “They all apply to sell whatever it is they’re selling. The process is really fair

and they can do whatever it takes to improve their attendance and sales at their booth.”

Distribution of profit to participating clubs is based on how much the clubs make at their designated booths. Sixteen of the clubs participating in this year’s Spring Fling will be selling food.

The other clubs will be working commercial game booths.

The expected increase in profit is due to a social media marketing push, which aims to increase attendance this year. A market research survey showed the majority of people who attended Spring Fling last year did so out of tradition.

“We expect that when people come the first time, that they will love it and come again in future years,” Kloehr said. “Our retention rate for our patrons is really high.”

There are sponsors that help cover the university’s initial

annual Spring Fling clubs participating

investment in the event. These sponsors include Sweet Tomatoes, Coca Cola, Eegees, Shamrock Farms, Chobani, FMI Rentals, Geico and Papa Johns Pizza.

Spring Fling had over 32,000 attendees last year. The UA expects more than that this year, hoping people will be enticed by the more than 40 different rides and games, and the more than 20 different food booths.

The average amount a UA student spends at Spring Fling is between $25 and $30. It’s free for students to attend with CatCard, but without it, the entry fee is $5.

There was no increase in admission price this year. Wrist bands are $30 on Friday and $20 on Sunday. Half sheets of tickets are $10 and full sheets of tickets are $20.

MUSIC

The bands you’ll be rocking out to at Spring Fling

BY SEAN ORTH

The Daily Wildcat

Spring Fling has hosted many musical acts throughout its long history and this year features a stacked lineup with both touring acts and local UA groups.

Between devouring funnel cakes and riding the Tilt-A-Whirl for the third time in a row, check out the numerous bands and musical groups performing on the Spring Fling stage.

The performances are spread out across the three days of the carnival and take place on the main stage. Two bands, People Who Could Fly and The Score, kick off the carnival Friday.

People Who Could Fly hails from Phoenix and have opened for the likes of Rick Springfield and Wiz Khalifa. The band formulates a sound that incorporates boy band pop elements and upbeat rock music.

The Score, an indie pop duo from Los Angeles, will headline Friday’s show. The Score’s single “Oh My Love” earned them over 2.3 million plays on Soundcloud. The band will play from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Friday.

A pop rock band of UA students, New Amsterdam, will open for The Score on Friday. The band won the UA Event Board’s

Next Big Thing competition and earned a spot on Friday’s lineup. The band looks forward to the diverse crowd Spring Fling will bring.

“To have the chance to get in front of that many people and play music we love is something I’m really excited for,” said marketing junior and New Amsterdam drummer Jack Trump.

The music continues all day Saturday with five acts performing. Amplified A Capella starts off the performances at 1:30 p.m. Suite 102, a contemporary punk cover band, takes the stage at 4 p.m., followed by local band Saving Kings and True Devotion Motown Revue.

UA students and alumni make up the band members in Saving Kings. They are one of several groups of students performing on the stage this year.

“This is our first year and are so psyched to play,” said psychology senior and Saving Kings rhythm guitarist Jake Dadisman. “It would be our first big stage performance and we’ll be playing songs we’ve all written together for the first time for a crowd.”

Los Angeles-based duo ACADEMY will headline Saturday’s carnival. ACADEMY blend reggae-pop sounds with modern rock and hip-hop elements. The band previously

shared the stage with alternative pop powerhouses Misterwives and Smallpools.

Sunday’s lineup brings local dance group Saguaro Stompers to the stage at 1 p.m. UA coed a capella group, Noteriety, comes on at 3 p.m. Noteriety will close the series of musical acts on Sunday’s carnival.

This weekend will be jam-packed with Spring Fling activities, but the diverse set of performers are sure to deliver some highenergy sounds to the UA Mall.

CLUBS

Old faithful: Veteran clubs of Spring Fling

BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR The Daily Wildcat

The usual suspects of university events will be in attendance at this year’s Spring Fling. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona is at the top of the list.

Without their money allocation and administrative efforts, Spring Fling would fail to take shape year after year.

Also in attendance will be Compost Cats, who always work to keep campus clean and green, as well as student and employees of UA Presents, who are responsible for keeping people entertained beyond just games and rides.

The whole event is organized by eight student leaders and run largely by volunteers in the ASUA club community. These clubs can capitalize on running Spring Fling booths this weekend in a manner similar to that of percentage nights: raising money while making friends and fellow students happy.

There will be roughly one club involved for every year that the event has been around. Out of the 40 clubs listed on the event’s website, one can find honoraries, smaller greek organizations and field-specific clubs at-large on our campus.

The Arizona Mock Trial Club is no stranger to Spring Fling. It was founded over a decade ago and has been working at Spring Fling for many

of the subsequent years. The club is a great way for students studying law to evaluate court cases, though this isn’t a requirement for joining the club. It acts out cases while competing against other teams.

Jean Paul Barnard is a UA law graduate student who now mentors the teams. Barnard offered some insight into how the club was involved in Spring Fling during the years he was an undergraduate.

The club is usually composed of between 30 to 40 students who are split into four separate teams for competition.

Though most are not as close with the other mockers outside of their person teams, Barnard shared memories of good times he had at Spring Fling running a game with others in the club.

“The water gun booth actually had a mic and speaker set up,” Barnard said. “One of us would use the mic and be the announcer for the booth.

We would try to use the most ridiculous accents we could think of when being the announcer.”

Spring Fling is a time-honored UA tradition, one that all can enjoy. Countless clubs have participated in the annual event over the years and most, like the Arizona Mock Trial Club, can attest to the productive fun the function provides.

CLUBS

Equestrian Club is the new club on the block

BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR The Daily Wildcat

Maybe springin’ and flingin’ has you in a nature-loving mood. Maybe you love animals and admire the ways some people have with majestic, well-bred creatures. Or maybe you just want to play the game that the UA Equestrian Club will be running this year.

“We get a booth assigned by ASUA and a certain percentage of the tickets that are used to play our game comes back to us,” said the Equestrian Club’s vice president, Isabel Runge, a sophomore studying molecular and cellular biology.

It’s the club’s third year working a booth to raise money that is put toward reimbursing students who traveled with one of the riding teams throughout the past school year.

“We get most of our money from sponsorships and donations, which we use to have the team and coaches travel to zones, semifinals and nationals for Intercollegiate Horse Show Association,” Runge said.

The western team qualified for the IHSA’s semifinals as a team this year and with individuals for the first time in the club’s history.

“We like Spring Fling because we are done

with our show season and it’s a good time for everyone to get together and have fun,” Runge said.

The club worked the water-gun-utilizing machine gun game last year.

“We find out tomorrow at the training [what we’ll be working],” Runge said when asked where Spring Fling attendees can find the horse lovers this weekend.

When asked if the 40-member Equestrian Club is a close-knit group, Runge said, “As a whole, we don’t spend a … lot of time together, but for the time we do spend together, I would say, ‘yes’.”

The team is divided into two subsects: those who ride for the western or English sides.

“Personally, I ride on the English side and we always have a blast at the shows,” Runge said. “When we do things where we are all together like Spring Fling, we have a great time.”

Whether they’re gripping reins or the dirty metal of a Spring Fling attraction, everyone in the UA Equestrian Club looks forward to sharing white knuckles this weekend.

THRILL RIDES

“

FROM PAGE 6

We have seen evidence that there is a difference in neural circuitry in those who are thrill seekers.”

— Stephen Cowen, assistant professor of psychology

at Vanderbilt University, discovered that risk takers actually have fewer dopamine autoreceptors in the brain, allowing for more free-flowing dopamine.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates the brain’s reward and pleasure centers, among other things.

In fact, street drugs such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine act as these dopamine receptors, confusing the brain’s reward system by producing an intense feeling of euphoria.

Dopamine autoreceptors are responsible for inhibiting dopamine in the brain. Since risk takers have fewer autoreceptors, thrill-seeking activities result in a greater than normal dopaminergic responses, which increases that feel-good feeling.

Stephen Cowen, assistant professor of psychology at the UA, said there are physiological differences for those seeking new experiences compared to those who do not.

“We have seen evidence that there is a difference in neural circuitry in those who are thrill seekers,” Cowen said. “Think of the mind as being in either of two states: seeking novel experiences or going with what you are comfortable with.”

Cowen said there are two different ways in which dopamine could influence risk behavior. These are background dopamine and the rush of dopamine associated with exciting activity.

“When you go sky diving, for example, you may have a higher level of background dopamine and it’s that surge of dopamine that results from jumping out of a plane that reinforces that behavior,” Cowen said.

In other words, those of us constantly searching for new and exciting experiences may have higher levels of background dopamine.

“We’ve actually seen evidence of this in patients who have Parkinson’s Disease,” Cowen said. “In PD, patients have a diminished amount of dopamine in the brain. However, when we supplement them with dopamine, we see increases in risk-taking behavior such as gambling.”

For those eager to get their hearts pumping in a G-rated and campussponsored way instead of through a dopamine rush, Spring Fling begins Friday at 4 p.m.

Whether it’s your first time experiencing Spring Fling or your fourth year in a row trekking the largest student-run carnival in the nation, it never hurts to know a few sage words of wisdom to ensure the most fun.

Between the live music, great food, fun games, thrilling rides and Clifford the Big Red Dog, this spectacle can feel overwhelming, but this advice will help keep the good times rolling More information can be found at the Spring Fling website, springfling.arizona.edu.

Check it out to find food menus, ticket prices, promotions and more.

Do: Bring your friends and family Spring Fling is not just for college students but for all members of the Tucson community.

There are a variety of attractions meant for all ages, ranging from the appearances of Wilbur, Wilma and Clifford the Big Red Dog, to the 52-inch rides for the not faint-of-heart.

Kids Korner provides more kid-oriented entertainment including games, face painting and readings. Children can also find kidcentric rides near Kids Korner.

Do: Check out the club food With plenty of clubs and greek organizations bringing delicious dishes, patrons can put to rest any reservations about student-made food.

“It’s usually the clubs that are making the food, but that’s something really special because they actually are making carnival foods,” said Aaron Aguirre, marketing senior and programming director.

The club food at Spring Fling is not only a tasty tradition, but it’s also a can’t-miss culinary destination.

Don’t: Sample the clubs’ food offerings and then immediately ride the Tilt-A-Whirl While sharing is caring, nobody wants to experience secondhand funnel cake.

Do: Ride the Ferris wheel “Try to get on top of the Ferris wheel and take a picture of campus and just kind of look around and see how cool it is,” said dance senior and executive director Miranda Beck.

After the peaceful serenity accompanying that picturesque view, don’t be afraid to try some of the more wild rides.

“There are over 40 rides and attractions, and they’ll make you a really brave Wildcat,” said Santiago Kloehr, marketing senior and marketing director.

Don’t: Drop your phone, or any other personal belonging for that matter, while taking a picture at the top of the Ferris wheel Do: Bring extra cash, canned food on Friday and children’s books on Sunday Spring Fling offers certain promotions that can spare your wallet.

“On Friday, if you bring four nonperishable items for the community food bank, you’ll receive $5 off a wristband,” said Kloehr. “On Sunday, if you bring two children’s books

Don’t: Forget that many people bring their friends and family Despite being on campus, Spring Fling does not exist inside the college bubble and other Tucsonans will be there. The event is meant to bring the entire community together and therefore does not cater to any particular demographic.

Do: Play games and support UA clubs “The games are pretty much all your carnival staple games,” Kloehr said. “They are run by clubs, so when you go and you buy food from these club booths, any money that you spend goes to the clubs ... Same with the games.”

The club involvement remains one of the shining aspects of Spring Fling that makes it special.

Don’t: Bring a large bag, especially a suspiciously large bag Bags will be checked at the entrance and chances are security will not let you take it in.

Aguirre, Kloehr and Beck all advise against bringing bags to Spring Fling.

Don’t: Overspend on any one game No teddy bear is worth $50 or the embarrassment and regret that is sure to follow.

Do: Go! “It’s a great way to kind of tie all of campus together. ... It’s a really great way to kind of have the whole campus collaborate,” Beck said.

Spring Fling is no small feat. It is a yearround effort requiring eight student directors and countless others working with them to create an endeavor rich with UA history.

GREASY, DELICIOUS AND NOT NUTRITIOUS

BY SAMMY CHERUKURI The Daily Wildcat

The annual Spring Fling carnival has served the Tucson community for 42 years, offering audiences the experience of a lifetime.

With thrilling rides like the G Force and Haunted Mansion, and carnival games that bring out the cutest of the couples, Spring Fling never fails to live up to its amusement potential. Spring Fling also excels at another much-needed component: food and drinks.

Spring Fling attracts roughly 32,000 people every year. That’s a lot of bellies to feed.

Thanks to eight year-round student directors who aim to the fortify the event, Spring Fling will present over 16 different student-run food booths to feed those hungry mouths.

From funnel cakes to nachos, you’re sure to satisfy carnival cravings. But bring some spending cash, as those cravings can prove expensive at times.

Most of the booths that volunteer for Spring Fling are run by UA clubs and organizations. Each organization represents its respective foundations and philosophies while exhibiting an enthusiastic demeanor when it comes to serving the public some delicious treats.

Organizations such as the Sophos Sophomore Honorary will treat the

oncoming crowds with ice cream sundaes, perfect for the rising Arizona temperatures.

The Model United Nations will serve up some mouth-watering pizzas and Project RISHI will present a food stand serving up some oh-so-tempting nachos.

Theta Tau will serve carnival goers some traditional carnival funnel cakes to add to the excitement. Pima Community College sophomore Alyssa Campas expressed her love for the Spring Fling funnel cakes.

“Every carnival needs a funnel cake stand,” Campas said. “Funnel cakes give that extra flair, adds a little something extra into the air. Last year’s funnel cake’s were on point. It made my experience at the Fling even more memorable.”

While these treats are delectable and satisfying, it’s important to eat at a smart pace. You don’t want to be that person who pukes all over G Force because of an extra plate of nachos. It’s also important to stay hydrated to combat the rising heat.

So, if you’re looking for a carnival adventure that offers a wide variety of delicious foods, check out this weekend’s annual Spring Fling. Your wallet may not thank you, but your belly will.

SUSTAINABILITY

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

You may get trashy at Spring Fling, but the landfill sure won’t

BY LEAH MERRALL

The Daily Wildcat

While the nation’s largest student-run carnival offers rides, game booths and food, it also means the production of a lot of waste.

The UA Office of Sustainability, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s Students for Sustainability and Compost Cats are all working together to make Spring Fling as green as it can be.

Michael Rabbani, co-director for Students for Sustainability, said members of both SFS and Compost Cats will be posted at trash, recycling and compost bins around the carnival to make sure waste is disposed of properly. From Friday to Sunday, 100 total people will work in shifts to monitor garbage disposal.

“It makes a 100-percent difference,” Rabbani said. “Having people at the stations

is vital to our waste diversion efforts.”

Rabbani also said expediters from Compost Cats will continuously bring waste to their trucks and from there will transport it to the San Xavier Co-op Farm to start the composting process.

Spring Fling marketing director Santiago Kloehr said all food served by UA student clubs will be served in compostable containers.

In addition, he said local business Grecycle will be collecting used cooking oil from Spring Fling and converting it into biodiesel for the UA campus, including fuel for the CatTran shuttles.

The UA Cycling Club will staff a free bike valet service on Cherry Avenue, which is operational all three days of the carnival.

All of these efforts have made the event more sustainable in the past.

Spring Fling diverted eight tons of waste

from landfills by recycling, composting and reusing in 2015, according to the Spring Fling website. This amount was about 78 percent of all waste generated at the event and, in terms of greenhouse gas reductions, was the equivalent of removing 61 cars from the road for a month.

To students attending Spring Fling, seeing these efforts to be more green may inspire change.

“It shows us college students that being sustainable doesn’t have to be so challenging and can be accomplished through simple tasks,” said Talia Stone, an environmental studies sophomore. “Humans have made such a negative impact on the environment and it’s time to start being more aware of our actions.”

While all of these campus groups work hard to make the carnival as sustainable as possible, there is still work to do. Rabbani

said energy usage is one thing that has not yet been addressed with Spring Fling.

“It has considerable merit because energy production, as well as waste diversion, are two vitally important issues when you’re talking about sustainability from a broader perspective,” Rabbini said.

An Energy and Climate Committee began within SFS last fall.

Spring Fling also offers an opportunity for the community to become more educated about sustainability efforts. The UA Office of Sustainability will have a tent set up Saturday where UA Community Garden interns will share their knowledge of local gardening while guests create their own potted designs.

The Arizona Board of Regents unanimously approved President Ann Weaver Hart’s tuition proposal at its final board meeting of the semester Thursday.

Hart’s proposal included tuition increases for every new incoming student and every current student who didn’t opt-in for the tuition guarantee program, as well as slight fee increases and the creation of 11 new program fees.

Approved Tuition proposal highlights for the UA main campus:

ARIZONA REGENT Jay Heiler speaks at the Arizona Board of Regents meeting in Tucson on Thursday, April 7. The regents moved to accept the tuition proposal set forth by UA President Ann Weaver Hart.

“We really are committed to finding a solution to this national dilemma,” Hart said.

She thanked the student leaders of Associated Students of the University of Arizona and Graduate Student Professional Council for putting in their time to work together, understand the tuition process and give their input.

She said that ASUA and GPSC have given their perspectives and the board is committed to continuing its partnership with student leaders in the future to hear the student voice.

Board facts and figures The incremental gross tuition and fee revenues are estimated to be $219.2 million under Hart’s tuition proposals, according to the regents’ executive summary, included in their agenda.

The agenda stated the breakdown is $191.5 million from base tuition and $27.7 million from differential, program, class and mandatory fees.

Of the $191.5 million in base tuition, 72 percent or $137.9 million is attributed to enrollment growth and change in the mix of students.

Twenty-eight percent or $52..6 million is from rate increases.

The average student cost for a UA bachelor’s degree has decreased by 9 percent in the last few years, according to Hart.

The average proposal increase for all three universities is 2.9 percent, which is down from 3.7 percent last year and 19 percent in the fiscal year of 2012, according to board of regents President Eileen Klein’s report slideshow.

Tuition process John Arnold, vice president for business management and financial affairs, said when setting base tuition, the board considers the following factors: 1. The amount of state support provided to the university system 2. The availability of student financial aid as outlined in the board’s financial aid policies 3. The median of tuition and mandatory fees charged by the university’s peers 4. Other student fees and charges established by each university 5. The cost of university attendance 6. Revenues required to service bonded indebtedness 7. Arizona’s median family income levels 8. Evidence of student consultation Transparency is vital and ensures accountability in the tuition setting process, Klein said.

Arnold also said the board is already looking ahead and making preparations for tuition setting next year by looking at the impacts of tuition guarantee programs and the process of setting tuition.

Student regent Naufel’s term nears end Where it all started Naufel said his parents are both immigrants from Lebanon who worked hard their entire lives to support him and his sister. Watching them gave him a strong work ethic.

“None of this would of been possible if it wasn’t for the great upbringing they gave me,” Naufel said. “They’ve always pushed me to strive to do something with my life and give back to the community.”

Naufel said learning has always been his passion. But he has always been passionate about the business and technical things, too, thus leading to his career in student government.

Naufel ran for student body president at ASU’s Tempe campus his sophomore year, won, graduated early and came back to get his master’s degree. His third degree is just to round out his skills.

BY Chastity Laskey The Daily Wildcat

Current Arizona Board of Regents student regent Mark Naufel will be graduating this year from Arizona State University for the third time.

Born and raised in Tempe, Naufel graduated from ASU in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in finance and science, then again last year when he earned his master’s degree in business analytics with a minor in political science. This May will be his final time donning a mortarboard when he earns his second master’s in system engineering.

Naufel’s regency: “It’s been absolutely phenomenal.”

“It’s gone by quick,” he said. “But I think that’s because it’s been so good. You get to experience so many things and meet so many great people.”

Naufel, who began his term with the regents on July 1, 2014, said he really enjoyed his first year as regent, which he spent taking his time to absorb everything.

This year he became the student regent with voting powers, where he used his knowledge and leadership skills to serve as a voice for Arizona students at all three public universities.

Student regents serve two-year terms.

The first is spent observing and learning the ropes of the regents. The second and final year, they transition to a voting member of the board.

Naufel said he thinks his greatest accomplishment is successfully being a voice for the students because that’s really what the position is all about.

When in student government, one typically has a platform of ideas in which you work toward, he said, but the board is passing policy that is responsible for making over-arching changes at the universities.

“Having the student input on that is crucial,” Naufel said. “I’ve always seen my role as really getting a pulse of the

university, really just being the bridge between the board, the community and the university itself.”

He acknowledged the one thing he could have done better during his term was to have traveled more to the other universities.

Naufel said he always did his best to spend extra time meeting with students every time he came to UA or Northern Arizona University for meetings, but it was

mostly just with student government.

“I feel like I didn’t do as good of a job of just hearing about the average student at NAU or UA, but at the end of the day, you really hope the student governments are really bringing you the concerns of the population as a whole.” Naufel said. “I think that they really do. It just would of been nice to confirm that a little more.”

Advice for the new guard Naufel said he almost didn’t apply for the regents position and that there are always amazing opportunities out there, but some people aren’t aware of them or are too nervous or intimidated to apply.

“I can’t really explain how much I’ve been able to experience and the people I’ve met and the opportunities that were open to me,” Naufel said.

He said students shouldn’t be intimidated, adding that he almost didn’t apply for the regents position. He also said students need to pay attention to the options they have, but easily overlook, every day.

“I would say pursue as much as you can, whether it’s an organization, or student government or even within your academic programs,” Naufel said. “Try to get as much out of the universities as you can in your short time here because when you’re out of the university and out in the real world, things really start to slow down.”

POLICE BEAT

BY AVA GARCIA

The Daily Wildcat

I’ll just sleep here, thanks University of Arizona Police Department officers noticed two people at 1:20 a.m. on March 30, one of whom was lying in the center of a road by Pima Residence Hall.

The officers were told the woman on the ground, a UA student, was intoxicated and made her way to the ground without hitting her head. The female was not responding to questions, but was breathing and had open eyes. Her friend helped the officers walk her off the road because she could not walk straight. UA Emergency Medical Services and Tucson Fire Department then arrived to check on the female student. The woman’s friend was trying to get her to eat to sober up, but the woman didn’t move. The woman was medically released and her friend allowed her to stay in her room for the remainder of the night. On the walk to their residence hall, the woman acted belligerent. After the officers left, the friend asked the woman not to remain in her room with her because she was creating a disturbance.

When police went to look for her, they could not find her. Later, officers went to the Sol apartment and, after speaking with security there, found the woman had returned home safely. She was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking.

Take a hit and run University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a tip given by the resident assistant on duty at the La Paz Residence Hall about two people smoking marijuana in the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall courtyard at 8:10 p.m. on March 30. The officers entered the courtyard, smelled marijuana and approached two men sitting in the courtyard. The men said they were smoking tobacco, but when one of them handed his cigarette to the officer, it smelled of marijuana. The cigarette was still lit. When the officer bent down to put it out, one of the men ran away. The officer chased him, but eventually lost sight of him. UAPD established a perimeter around surrounding streets to find the man. The other man, still in the courtyard, was identified and later identified the other man who ran away. He said he often smoked with him. When the officer, using a phone number the first man gave him, called the other man, he hung up when the officer identified himself. The man who stayed received a code of conduct through the Dean of Students Office.

BY JACOB WINKELMAN The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona has made national headlines for its obsession with immigration laws and its role in the country’s broader immigration debate throughout the last decade. Senate Bill 1070, which passed in 2010 and earned the nickname the “show me your papers” law, was perhaps the zenith of the controversy and set off a slew of boycotts and protests across the U.S. SB 1070 was just the beginning.

Previous Arizona Governor Jan Brewer drew massive amounts of support from conservatives after infamously shaking her finger at President Barrack Obama on the tarmac during his 2012 visit to Arizona. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been Maricopa Country’s sheriff for the last 23 years, also made a name for himself with his history of racial profiling and harsh treatment of undocumented people.

It’s been a few years since Arizona has grabbed national headlines for itself in regard to immigration, but 2016 is a new year and with a Republican legislature and governor, it seems almost certain that new immigration laws are just around the corner.

SB 1377, aka “Grant’s Law,” seeks to force judges

to sentence undocumented people to the fullest extent if found guilty of committing a crime after they have previously broken immigration laws.

In other words, people in the country illegally would have to be sentenced to maximum jail terms regardless of extenuating factors or the discretion of a judge. Furthermore, undocumented persons would have no opportunities for bail, parole, reduced sentencing or community supervision.

The bill passed the Arizona Senate by a 19-11 vote in February, but the House of Representatives has yet to take any action.

If Arizona has learned anything from its last foray into controversial immigration laws, this law will not come to pass.

SB 1070 not only hurt the reputation of Arizona, it also cost our state millions of dollars.

Numerous national organizations, conventions and tourists boycotted Arizona as a result of the hateful legislation, costing the Arizona economy approximately $141 million, according to the Center for American Progress. This is a combination of cancelled hotel bookings, approximately 2,800 lost job opportunities and lost tax revenue.

In addition to these economic repercussions, the state also spent $640,000 training police officers to enforce of SB 1070.

If SB 1377 were to gain traction and pass into law, it would not only prompt a new wave of protests and backlash, but it would almost certainly be challenged in court, forcing Arizona to use taxpayer money to defend another immigration law.

Although SB 1070 was partially held up by the Supreme Court, a law like SB 1377, which specifically targets one group of people, has a far stronger chance of eventually being ruled unconstitutional.

Sen. Lupe Contreras, the only Latino man on the committee, as well as one of the senators who opposes the bill, said, “We need to fight for the rights of every person, good, bad or indifferent.

When we start classifying certain laws to do certain things to certain individuals, I can’t stand for it.”

Some legal scholars have suggested that passing a law like SB 1377, which means the courts would treat undocumented people differently because they are undocumented, would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Society has a right to punish people for breaking the law, but it does not have the right to determine that a specific group of people can be discriminated against.

Gov. Doug Ducey has not made immigration one of his major priorities. He appears to be more interested in trade and defunding public education.

Hopefully state Republicans will be unable to sway him. The last thing Arizona needs is another costly fight over an illegal immigration law meant to shame, hurt and abuse some of the most vulnerable people in our state.

Bad professors make scheduling classes hell

BY RHIANNON BAUER The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s registration season here at the UA and plenty of students are getting excited about their future schedules. We’re not even in the home stretch of this semester yet and people are already talking about fall 2016.

One of the topics of conversation that often comes up in regard to schedule planning is choice of instructor.

When it comes time to take a difficult class, students tend to want the best professor for that class. Having a good professor makes students feel more comfortable learning difficult subject matter and, in theory, increases their likelihoods of getting good grades.

As a result, students try to hunt down the best instructors, whether it be via word of mouth, social media or sites like RateMyProfessors.com. Results from any attempted searches are often inconclusive; positive and negative reviews and recommendations vary widely from student to student. It’s not as easy as it sounds to find the best professor for a certain class.

But this confusion isn’t the root of the problem. The major issue here is the fact that

understand what is going on. Whether it’s students even have to do this. speaking too quickly, not providing enough Depending on your major, the classes you clarity, providing illegible notes or any other need to take and where you rank in priority issue, these instructors can be toxic to any registration, it can be tough to get all the student’s education. classes you need and I can’t help but wonder: Is have them all line up in a the university administration cohesive schedule. Add Depending on simply unaware of the in another parameter— your major, situation? When it gets severe choice of professor—and and the majority of students it gets even more difficult the classes you need aren’t able to comprehend to create a harmonious to take and where what’s going on in lecture, arrangement of classes is anything being done in you rank in priority that also doesn’t conflict response? with extracurricular life. registration, it can be It frankly isn’t any of my Beyond that, students business.

But that doesn’t change the fact that a few I’m not talking about strict professors that give a lot of work or grade harshly. If anything, poor instructors could—and do—still sneak in here or there. Student responses to such a these professors are posing a challenge and situation include trying to switch out of their encouraging their students to work hard classes, teaching themselves the material or to learn the material.

aren’t sure-fire solutions and there is a way to more directly combat the issue: Filling out Teacher-Course Evaluations at the end of the semester.

Lots of students dismiss these as a pointless waste of time. But TCEs are truly utilized by the university, and feedback about instructors is used as evidence for a teacher’s ability to teach successfully.

If a teacher is unable to communicate effectively to students and this is dictated in the majority of TCEs, the university will likely see this as cause for concern and investigation.

But only a few negative reviews, which could come from student bias against an actually good instructor, or not enough completed evaluations for a poor instructor will not have a great effect on the teacher’s situation. Surveys and evaluations only work if they have a large number of participants.

If we don’t utilize our ability to provide feedback, we might have to bite the badteacher bullet every semester. We all need to complete our TCEs when the time comes, especially if a critical flaw exists and the university should be alerted.

May the odds of getting good professors be ever in your favor, Wildcats.

People spend a lot of time staring at screens, whether they are phones, laptops or televisions. That’s a lot of time only using one sense: sight.

Haptic technology aims to incorporate the sense of touch into technology.

“Imagine me tracing a circle on your wrist with the tip of my finger at a fixed rate or a line that goes forward and bends to the left, like an ‘L’ rotated at 180 degrees,” said Jake Rockland, a computer engineering junior.

“These physical, tactile cues can intuitively convey information like the passing of time or upcoming turns during GPS navigation. ...

It’s information that we’re used to interacting with, just through our sense of touch rather than visual cues.”

This is haptic feedback, or the conveyance of information through “precise vibrations” of touch, according to Rockland.

He is part of the team at Somatic Labs, a fairly new company focused on incorporating haptic feedback into everyday life. The company was founded by Shantanu Bala, an Arizona State University alumnus who has worked with haptic technology since 2009.

“I started working at the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing at [ASU] right after my sophomore year of high school,” Bala said.

“I first worked on VibroGlove, an assistive device for conveying facial expressions to individuals with a visual disability.”

Bala was awarded the Thiel Fellowship in 2014 to continue his work, when he began to develop Moment, the first haptic product from Somatic Labs.

Bala works at Somatic Labs with Rockland and Ajay Karpur, an ASU electrical engineering senior.

Moment, which will first ship to customers in fall 2016, is a form of haptic technology designed to be worn on the wrist. It turns the movements of real-time data, like GPS directions, into “vibro-tactile” sensations that you feel on your skin.

“Right now, I think our biggest challenge as we position ourselves to scale for a full release [of Moment] is figuring out how to best convey the value that our product offers to our potential users,” Rockland said. “We’ve found that some people don’t realize exactly how our product can ‘augment human perception’ as quickly as we would like them to. However, this is something we are always actively working on.”

While Somatic Labs is currently focused on customer outreach and education, as well as collecting feedback on the website and product in preparation for a crowdfunding campaign, it is also looking ahead to future applications of their technology.

“As we grow, Somatic Labs can make more wearable electronic devices that interact with our sense of touch,” Bala said. “We’re envisioning a series of devices that become further integrated into the things we wear on a regular basis. We’re starting with a wristband, but we eventually want to make assistive and rehabilitative technologies embedded in clothing and shoes.”

Technology like Moment provides a way for us to break into other senses that we have yet to explore. Whether that comes in the form of a haptic wristband or new therapy techniques, Somatic Labs provides an interesting exploration into these possibilities.

“I imagine turning physical therapy into an interactive game,” Bala said. “Or delivering alerts to people operating heavy machinery to improve their situational awareness.”

Pima County facing SNAP cutbacks

BY Ashley Mcgowan

Arizona Sonora News

Unemployed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients in Pima County will have 90 days beginning this month to find employment, or they will risk losing their food assistance.

As many as 40,000 Arizonans will be affected by this time crunch as the Arizona Department of Economic Security works to reinstate Able Bodied Adult Without Dependents requirements for individuals on SNAP, previously known as food stamps.

The effects of employment requirements for SNAP recipients will go beyond individuals in need. The Association of Arizona Food Banks estimated that, “$3.6 million will be taken out of the economy that could further support employment in super markets.”

The reinstatement of ABAWD requirements for SNAP recipients in 22 states is a result of economic improvements since the recession, but could negatively impact economies if fewer people have money for grocery shopping.

SNAP assisted almost 700,000 Arizonans buy groceries in February, according to John Bowen, a legislative specialist with the Arizona Department of Economic Security.

SNAP recipients receive a designated amount of credits on their Electronic Benefit Transfer cards that are used in local grocery stores.

Daniel Benavidez with the Tucson Urban League fears the effects ABAWD restrictions will have on Tucson’s economy.

“Those dollars go back to the economy,” he explains. “When you cut those benefits, you pull money out of the economy.”

While many of those who qualify for food assistance are exempt from employment requirements due to age, disabilities and dependents, there are more than a million SNAP recipients nationwide who will be

Buying grocery items, like these delicious bagels, may become harder for many Tucson SNAP recipients.

affected by approaching employment deadlines, according to published reports.

During the recession, federal and state governments recognized the need to waive ABAWD requirements for individuals seeking food assistance due to high unemployment rates.

Unemployment reached 10.4 percent in Tucson at the height of the recession in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nearly 50,000 Tucsonans were unemployed.

Although unemployment is currently at the lowest it has been since the recession, at only 4.9 percent in Tucson, it is still higher than prerecession rates, which reached as low as 3 percent in 2007.

While this difference is less than 2 percentage points, it represents more than 9,000 unemployed Tucsonans.

“The truth is we have more abled bodies than we do jobs,” Benavidez said.

“Look at fast food restaurants,” Benavidez explained. “Ten years ago, the people at the window were kids in their 20s, now they’re in their 50s, 60s and 70s because even those jobs are coveted.”

SNAP recipients in Maricopa County were reintroduced to ABAWD employment requirements in January.

A notice was sent out to the homes of individuals who did not qualify for ongoing assistance without a job. At the end of March, the individuals who were still

unemployed lost food benefits for three years or until they can find employment.

In Pima County ABAWDs will have three months from their individual six-month reviews to find employment.

April will only be considered the first of the three available months of food assistance if individuals are newly applying for SNAP or are due for their sixmonth review.

Yavapai County will begin facing employment requirements on July 1.

All other counties and reservations will continue their exemption status due to higher unemployment rates or inadequate available jobs.

The DES is making changes that include “hiring of additional office personnel and working with local community partners to provide increased employment,” Bowen said. “Additionally, DES is partnering with local labor leaders to develop and expand employment opportunities for all Arizonans, including the ABAWD population.”

“We immediately refer all ABAWD recipients to the SNAP Employment and Training Program to expedite their employment,” Bowen says.

Unemployed ABAWDs can enroll in training with the SNAP Employment and Training Program or other programs that have been authorized by the Department of Economic Security that will allow them to continue receiving food assistance without employment for as long as they need.

While “Tucson has been struggling and continues to struggle we to get out the recession,” according to Benavidez, the economic and individual effects of the changes to come are only a few months away.

The unassuming desert hills did not distract me as I thought about the hallowed ground on which I stood. Just 35 feet below me rested the secret control center of one of the world’s most powerful weapons: the Titan II nuclear missile.

Eighteen silos were built around the Tucson area during the height of the Cold War, but only the Titan Missile Museum remains.

The outside of the museum is rather inconspicuous. An array of antennas guards the small metallic visitor’s center and a fence separates the main road from the silo.

You check out artifacts in the visitors’ center from the early atomic age and purchase tickets for the hourly guided tour. A map showing the potential destruction zone caused by a nuclear missile hitting the Tucson area makes for an eerie reminder that history could have been very different with the turn of a few keys.

“In nuclear war, there are no winners,” said Hayward Sumner, former crew commander at a Wichita, Kansas, Titan II Silo and volunteer tour guide at the museum. “[There are] only differing levels of destruction.”

We were assigned crew positions and began a simulated Titan II launch shortly after arriving in the control center.

“Charlie, Oscar, Papa, Yankee, Delta, Echo, Sierra, Kilo,” the speaker whined as we receive a message from Strategic Air Command.

The crew opened the bright red safe to verify the orders were from the commanderin-chief.

One of the three preset locations, which are still classified today, was loaded into the missiles’ guidance system, and the keys were readied for launch. The tension tightened in the room as our crew commander and deputy crew commander each turned and held their keys. Only five seconds until we put millions of people in premature graves.

Indicator lights flashed on. The missile had begun its automated launch sequence. Water filled the silo.

“Total time from key turn to liftoff is 58 seconds,” Sumner said.

The missile launched from the silo 30 minutes from target, and then, silence.

We waited for orders from some occult hand that survived the ramifications of our actions.

The crew had 30 days of food and water but only 12 to 16 days of breathable air, according to Sumner. If we didn’t hear anything, it was up to the crew commander to decide when to open the blast doors to face whatever was left of civilization.

Little traces of humanity seemed to be everywhere in this top-secret bunker after the simulation. Signs littered the facility informing crew members to travel in pairs for the sake of safety. The sea foam green paint that draped the entire complex seemed too cheery of a

color for the home of a nine-megaton nuclear bomb.

We entered another eerie tunnel to the silo following the launch. Large plexiglass windows gave us a view of the almost 100-foottall missile and the open hatch doors above us let in the comforts of natural light.

After returning to the surface, we had our first views of the steel and concrete hatch that hid the missile from view.

When President Ronald Reagan decommissioned the Titan II program in 1981, Titan II silos were destroyed in Little Rock, Arkansas, Wichita and Tucson.

This particular silo was converted into a museum in 1986.

As part of the United States’ treaty with the Soviet Union, the hatch doors and other parts of the silo were made inoperable. Russia still retains inspection rights to ensure it is not an active weapons facility and inspectors last visited in 2011.

We exited the museum through the gift shop after touring the surface. Here, you can purchase genuine pieces of Cold War history, such as “civil defense yellow” survey meters, emergency drinking water and scrap from the decommissioned missile. It felt odd looking at parts of a nuclear weapon being sold in a backwoods gift shop, but maybe it was a reminder to never let tensions get this high again.

The Titan Missile Museum is a humbling experience located half an hour way from the UA campus in Sahuarita, Arizona. The crew offers riveting and fun tours every month.

Admission to this must-see experience is $9.50 for adults and worth every penny. More information can be found on its website at titanmissilemuseum.org.

KICK OUT THE (TUCSON) JAMS

The Bryan Dean Trio jams every time they hit the stage

BY CHRISTIANNA SILVA

ARTS & LIFE

April 8-10, 2016 • Page 27

The Daily Wildcat

Walking into the Boondocks Lounge at 6 p.m. on a Monday is like walking into a New York jazz bar, only bigger. Musicians Bryan Dean on the guitar, Ralph Gilmore on the drums, Koko Matsumoto on the bass guitar and Frank Arciuolo sitting in on the tenor saxophone, chat on stage and fiddle with their respective strings, sticks and keys. They’re preparing for another show in their eight-year long, Monday night gig.

“We always start off scared that no one’s going to show up,” Dean joked to the audience. “Then Kit gets here and starts dancing.”

Kit Estes is not easy to forget. In all white, including his hair, tied halfup, he stomps through each song on the checkered dance floor. He keeps on his dark, Lennon-style sunglasses the entire night.

“I’ve been dancing in front of bands for over 50 years,” Estes said.

That’s not to say the Bryan Dean Trio is the perfect music to dance to, although Estes thinks so.

Its music is a mishmash of so many different genres. The band has a solid blues undertone, but each song is taken over on top by jazz, samba, rock, country and funk, or something lower and junglier. The trio does have an obvious overlying theme, though. As the song goes on, it begins to jam and each musician gets louder, harder and more bluesy in their solos. They’re having fun and the audience is feeding off that.

Dean is a true jazz musician.

He utilizes the entire stretch of the neck of his guitar from the first song, keeping each solo rhythmically interesting and tonally exciting.

His guitar style is smooth and his vocals attempt to mirror that. His vocal talent doesn’t match that of his instrumental, but when the whole trio harmonized during the second set, it was hard not to smile.

Jim Beavers sits alone at a long old wooden table sipping a drink out of a red cup. His hunter-green polo and messy gray hair call no attention him. He keeps coming back to see the trio because Dean is “... the best.

And the best will tell you so.”

“Plus he gives me guitar lessons,” Beavers said with a smile.

Gilmore is the obvious heart of the

band. He plays with his eyes closed and his mouth tight and all of the motion comes from small flicks of his wrist. Never too snare-heavy, he drives the songs forward no matter the style, although his samba is particularly thrilling.

He’s played drums all across the country but landed in Tucson for the music environment.

“It’s not as much cutthroat,” Gilmore said. “We can all intermingle.”

As an unashamed fangirl of all things female bassist, I came in with a slight bias and left convinced that girls really do it better. Matsumoto held the band steady with funky bass lines and ripped through solos, making the audience stare in awe at the normally talked-over lower notes. Her long, black hair was

parted in two in front of her and it moved as her fingers found their homes on the long neck of her bass.

Matsumoto confidently said her favorite of the trio’s genres is “anything funky.”

Arciuolo isn’t a member of the band, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from watching. He actively plays in each song, moving up to the higher notes on his tenor saxophone with purpose and ease. He jams with the others as if he has been for years and it sounds as if it belongs with the trio.

Natanya Siegel, who has been coming to hear the live music at Boondocks for years, said the reasoning behind the flow is simple.

“There’s only one band in Tucson,” Siegel said. “Everyone tries to help each other out.”

The audience sits at the wooden tables or stands at the bars that surround the checkered dance floor and greet everyone who walks in the door like they’ve known each other for a lifetime, because they have.

“It’s like a family here,” said Tom Russ, who said he’s seen the Bryan Dean Trio hundreds of times. “It makes you wonder why some people make it big and others don’t.”

And it does.

His wife, Barbara Russ, said there’s one thing that keeps everyone coming back to the Bryan Dean Trio.

“They jam and it’s different every time,” she said.

Super Cool News: Meal plans are love, life, etc.

BY Alec Kuehnle The Daily Wildcat

Super Cool News is a feature that shares the, yes, coolest news happening around town and around the country. Try not to take what its writers have to say too literally.

Courtney Helman/The Daily Wildcat

A Burger King employee returns a customer’s CatCard on Monday, April 4. Many students have their parents buy them meal plans so they don’t have to spend their own money on food.

Saying goodbye to home-cooked meals remains one of the hardest parts of college.

We must move past the feeling of walking into the kitchen as the aroma of mom’s home-cooked spaghetti puts us in a trance and wave goodbye to the glorious scent of dad grilling burgers outside. But it’s OK. The lucky ones have no need to fret because mom and dad transfer the feelings of their home-cooked meals into an allaccess pass to all the food we could ever wish for. This golden ticket to the freshman 15 is typically known as the meal plan.

Meal plans represent the epitome of food freedom in college. How do they work? Well, you order food on campus, give your CatCard to the employee at the restaurant and, before you know it, you will have food. It’s as easy as that.

Students possess endless eating possibilities at the UA, from Chick-fil-A to Papa John’s to On Deck Deli to Panda Express. The Student Union Memorial Center even contains a Burger King, for a

reason nobody seems to understand.

It’s a glorious feeling to finish up with class then cruise down to the student union to spend your parents’ hardearned money on an overpriced chicken sandwich. What could be better than that?

Well, absolutely nothing.

A student, who wished to remain anonymous, admitted to frequently using his meal plan.

“My parents keep telling me to cut back to three meals a day, but I’m not having it,” he said. “Panda Express is my lifeline.”

The student failed to admit that he obviously has a problem.

“I eat Panda at least seven times a week,” he said. “I think the employees are starting to recognize me.”

Students also get student discounts when paying with meal plans. To make things even better, meal plans only work on campus, so there’s no better way to become fully acquainted with the diverse culinary atmosphere the UA has to offer.

You’ll have no choice but to eat at the restaurants covered by the meal plan and, honestly, why would you need to go anywhere else?

You may not have realized this before, but meal plans also allow people to make friends. Before long, students will discover what meal plan restaurant they most align

with. Whether you’re Team Panda Express, Team Papa John’s or the classic Team Chick-fil-A type, your meal plan will allow you to find students also sick of every other restaurant in the student union except for the one with which they have chosen to align.

Some swear that greek life is the best way to make lifelong friends during the college years, but in reality the bonds held by fraternity brothers and sorority sisters are nothing compared to the bond achieved through an undying love for Panda Express.

You can also make meal plan friends by joining the Wildcat Meal Plan Club. Join this life-changing organization and you’ll see the passion that UA students hold for their meal plans (OK, maybe the UA doesn’t actually have such a club, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start one).

Meal plans are a college necessity, there’s no denying it. Without one, college has no meaning.

The year has started to wind down, folks, so it’s about time to start pressuring mom and dad into buying you another meal plan. Don’t wait too long to do so.

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

As soon as the fireworks go off, Joe Previte knows his job. He grabs the UA flag and sprints as quickly as possible toward the opposing end zone, hanging on for dear life to not be knocked down by the wind.

He hands the flag immediately off to a handler, then casually strolls along the sidelines of Arizona Stadium, waving and pumping up the fans. He might throw in a casual dab here or there and lick his tail. He makes his way over to Sarah Holmes, who is smiling in the distance.

Except nobody sees it that way.

Instead, they see the dynamic duo of Wilbur and Wilma, the school mascots who have become a staple in the Tucson community.

Previte and Holmes have kept the biggest secret the UA has to offer: the identities of Wilbur and Wilma.

“It’s kind of like Hannah Montana, ‘you get the best of both worlds,’” Holmes said. “You get to see so many behind the scenes of things and athletics. Being on the field at the same time, no one knows who you are. That can be tough some times because it’s hard to feel appreciated with all that you do when you are anonymous like that.”

Holmes has spent the past two years as the 28th Wilma in UA history and captain of the mascot

program. Previte, on the other hand, is relatively new to the game, jumping at the chance to step into the shoes of the 55th Wilbur for his senior year.

Neither one ever thought they would be representing the school in such a way.

By the time their reigns end, the duo will have visited a combined 11 states, performed in more than 250 public appearances, given “too many to count” hugs, taken roughly 10,000 selfies and done one too many one-handed pushups. They have loved it every step of the way.

“There are no words to describe it. Everybody knows you,” Previte said. “For me, I love meeting people, so this allows me to fulfill the outlet. The president of the university gives you a big hug. Lute Olson shakes your hand. Getting high fives from Sean Miller and Rich Rodriguez has been amazing.

Being able to be this quirky, energetic figure and represent the UA in a positive way.”

As tradition goes, Previte and Holmes revealed themselves at the final Arizona men’s home basketball game this season on March 5.

“I almost don’t want the magic to disappear for the people who still have the magic,” Previte said.

“At the same time, now people are going to know. It was neat being recognized for that because this whole time you have been living

the life of a lie a little bit. It was really rewarding to be recognized because I know other mascots don’t have that sort of reveal.”

Being Wilbur and Wilma presents many challenges most students would never think of.

Weeks consist of three workouts, meetings with coaches and advisors, appearances in the community and managing time in the classroom. That doesn’t count performing at almost every single UA sporting event.

“If I can make somebody smile, even if I get extra tired or have to give extra time, I realized I can do it,” Previte said. “It takes tolerance and just realizing that you are doing something that is bigger than yourself. You have to put others before you with this.”

Being the mascot that everybody knows does have its perks, of course.

“Favorite memory by far, and coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life, was the request for the Country Music Awards,” Previte said.

“Working in that large of an event; I had never done anything like that before. When the live performance was happening and it’s on national television, the curtains came up when Brad Paisley was playing ‘Country Nation,’ you’re just going ham. That’s by far my favorite memory.”

For Holmes, who grew up in Tempe, beating ASU to win the Pac-12 South topped the list.

Rushing the field after defeating No. 10 Utah came in a close second.

Other than in-game events, many appearances gave the duo a chance to make a difference in the lives of kids who are struggling through illness.

“Last year, we got to hand [a patient] her admissions letter,” Holmes said. “After we did that, we walked into the other rooms and surprised the other kids. I almost started crying while in suit because that’s just the greatest feeling in the world. Just the simple surprise of seeing them made their day, which made my day.”

Aside from being the Wildcat couple that has been married for 29 years, Previte and Holmes have become extremely close friends in the process.

Holmes was most recently accepted into Mortar Board, the senior honorary, which Previte has been the president of this past year.

“She’s made sure that I’m on top of everything,” Previte said. “Any time I’ve been worried, she’s able to help me out or provide advice.

She’s kind of been a mom figure for me. ... She also got into Mortar Board and now I’m her Mortar mentor, so it’s all full circle.”

The duo comes together to scream out a motto before games: “If the fur ain’t flying, you ain’t trying! Bear Down!”

Lexi Mills’ final routine: ‘I can. I am. I will.’

BY Matt Wall

The Daily Wildcat

At the age of 8, Lexi Mills’ mother received rather negative news from her gymnastics coach.

“Your daughter is never going to be a gymnast,” the coach said. “She is really behind. You should pull her out now.”

Now, at the age of 21, Mills will be competing at the NCAA Championships on the balance beam.

“It’s funny because I’m the only girl left from that team,” Mills said. “I’m the only girl in college athletics. I love gymnastics and I’m just thankful to still be doing it.”

That thankfulness has continued to push Mills to succeed.

“I think I’ve grown a lot as a person, a teammate and a leader,” Mills said. “I learned a lot from the girls ahead of me. ... Having someone like [Katie Matusik] really taught me how to grow as a person and showed me that I want to step up and become a leader for my other teammates.”

While Mills learned from her peers and coaches, she battled constant pain in her shins every day in college.

“I had a shin injury for my four years here, pretty much,” Mills said. “I didn’t find out what it was until my junior year, so I think Stephanie [Gross] being able to

figure out what that injury was and how we could treat it really helped in my process.

It gave me the opportunity to compete on the beam because, without it, I don’t think my shins would have been well enough to perform as well as I should be.”

By the time Mills hits the mat in Fort Worth, Texas, she will have a lot on her mind. For 15 years, she practiced the sport every day, competing in “tens of thousands” of beam routines.

“I get that one beam routine and we will see how it goes,” Mills said. “[I’m] just going to do my best and have fun out there. Especially being a senior, I feel like I’m really honored to go out there and represent Arizona.”

Six words have resonated with Mills this season and she has taken them with her every step of the way: I can. I am. I will.

“Those are the words that Tabitha Yim uses,” Mills said. “She speaks to me about that before every routine. The past few routines I’ve done, I’ve really thought about it more. ... I only have a few more times that I get to compete for the [UA].

I’m really thankful that I get to compete one more time for them.”

Mills has learned over and over again what it means to be a team player during her time as a Wildcat. It’s why she asked fellow senior Shelby Edwards to be

by her side when she competes in the championships. It’s why she put her heart and soul into a sport for so many years, anxious to influence one more group of underclassmen.

“They are all my best friends,” Mills said.

“I just want to help them grow as athletes.

I have learned a lot from the seniors that I had and the other girls who were on the team before me. ... It’s important to be there for everyone on and off the floor.

Hopefully that’s what I’ve done and they will take it, learn from it and be great seniors also.”

Mills, who was born in Frisco, Texas, will perform one final routine in front of the people she loves, including her grandparents, aunts and uncles, and immediate family.

“Coming full circle and being able to compete in my last routine at home in front of all my family is just really special to me,” Mills said. “Competing in Texas one last time.”

The NCAA Championships will take place April 15-16 in Fort Worth.

“I just want to have fun,” Mills said. “It’s my last routine ever.”

Making their names in professional sports

BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat

Where are they now? Arizona men’s basketball in the NBA The madness behind the NBA season that consisted of the Golden State Warriors chasing the best regular season record in history, thanks to help of former Arizona Wildcats, is coming to an end.

With the defending champions on the legendary path to greatness, the secondary focus of former Wildcats in the NBA was on the first-year players from the 2015 Elite Eight squad.

Drafted or undrafted, Arizona rookies found a home in the association and the potential for the trio of Wildcats is much brighter than most expected.

Counter clockwise from top: Baltimore Orioles’ Joey Rickard (Lloyd Fox/Baltimore Sun), Colorado Rockies catcher Nick Hundley (Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution), Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Mark Melancon (David Carson/St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

The Daily Wildcat

Where are they now? Arizona baseball in the MLB The list of former Arizona Wildcats who play in the MLB grew to 83 on Monday as former UA center fielder Joey Rickard made his debut for the Baltimore Orioles against the Minnesota Twins.

Rickard is one of three Wildcats to appear on opening day rosters in the MLB for the 2016 season, along with Pittsburgh Pirates closer Mark Melancon and Colorado Rockies catcher Nick Hundley.

Rickard, who was a Rule Five draft selection by the Orioles in the offseason, batted ninth and played left field for the Orioles on Monday. Rickard went 2-4 with a double and a run scored in his first career major league game.

Rickard never hit below .300 in his threeyear career and was the starting center fielder and leadoff hitter for the NCAA National Championship team in 2012.

He hit .320 in his final year at the UA with 33 RBIs along with 60 runs scored and a teamleading 18 stolen bases, which caught the eye of the Tampa Bay Rays who drafted him in the ninth round of the 2012 MLB Draft.

Mark Melancon has been pitching in the majors since 2009, when he made his debut for the New York Yankees and has since been traded three times before finding a home with the Pirates where he has been since 2013.

Melancon played for Arizona from 20042006 where he totaled 18 saves, which is good for second in Arizona baseball history.

Despite an injury-riddled junior season, he was drafted in the ninth round of the 2006 MLB Draft by the Yankees.

The last Wildcat on a 2016 MLB roster is Nick Hundley, the starting catcher for the Rockies. Hundley played for the San Diego Padres for six years before being traded to the Orioles in 2014. His stay in Baltimore would be short as he signed with the Rockies for two years in 2015.

Hundley played for the Wildcats from 2003-2005 where he was named first team All-Pac-10 Conference and second team AllAmerican in 2005.

Hundley has been a consistent defensive catcher and decent hitter in the big leagues for seven years and counting.

T.J. McConnell The point guard that stole Tucson’s hear took his talents to the Philadelphia 76ers as an undrafted free agent. The odds were against McConnell from the get-go, given he went to a rebuilding team that didn’t have the star-studded roster surrounding him like at Arizona.

McConnell played for the 76ers’ summer league team and averaged 5.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game; just enough to land him a roster spot for the 2016 season.

There was a ray of hope for McConnell with a team built around Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel. The only issue he had to deal with was when the 76ers picked up point guard Ish Smith from the New Orleans Pelicans.

Smith already having the reputation as a prolific scorer and a flashy ball handler fitted the system, because Philadelphia needed another scoring option other than the big men.

Smith sprained his ankle in February, giving McConnell the opportunity to take the reins.

The 76ers have problems from every face of the franchise and have a league worst 9-68 record, but McConnell is averaging six points, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals in losses this season.

He averages seven points, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals in wins.

McConnell can’t save the 76ers overnight, but earning Player of the Month in March is a sign of success in the City of Brotherly Love.

Clockwise from top left: Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (Hector Amezcua/Sacramento Bee), Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (Kirthmon F. Dozier/Detroit Free Press), The Philadelphia 76ers’ T.J. McConnell (Steven M. Falk/Philadelphia Inquirer).

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson The two-year Wildcat hasn’t revealed his abilities after he fractured his right ankle and had to undergo surgery in December.

Before going down, Hollis-Jefferson earned his first career double-double performance with 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Brooklyn Nets in November.

He averaged five points and six rebounds per game during December, but the surgery set him back until the March 22 matchup with the Charlotte Hornets.

The Brooklyn Nets are another organization that has come under heat, especially after potentially ruining their future with their firstround draft lottery pick going to Boston from the Paul Pierce trade in 2013. But a player like Hollis-Jefferson gives the Nets a breath of fresh, young air.

Stanley Johnson The former No. 8 pick of the NBA Draft entered the best situation possible with the Detroit Pistons.

Johnson averaged just less than 25 minutes per game throughout January, with 9.7 points per game, and went on a hot streak January through February, with six consecutive games of scoring double-digits.

He was able to stay healthy and averaged 8.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game this season.

The Pistons are flirting with the No. 7 and No. 8 spot, so Johnson could have a date with Toronto Raptors forward DeMar DeRozan or LeBron James in the opening round of playoffs.
