opportunities all of these ongoing changes will bring.

Already we have spent many long hours determining the best way to serve our community, and these conversations will continue as we learn and grow during this process.

The goal for all of these changes is to better our paper, the University of Arizona community experience and ourselves.

As the demands of audiences and technology become more sophisticated, so too will our methods of storytelling.

What won’t change is our dedication to gathering and reporting the facts needed to make your lives more informed and entertaining.

And even in a future where V.R. journalism may be the norm — and other advanced delivery methods we haven’t yet anticipated — there will still be a place for print.

➢

The world of journalism and newspapers, like almost everything else in our modern society, is changing rapidly.

Those that are unable to adapt usually don’t survive.

Big adjustments have happened here at the Daily Wildcat the last few years as well. With the realities of the industry staring us in the face, we too have had to make tough decisions to continue producing the news audiences demand and deserve.

One of these advancements is the transformation of the print publication that our staff creates.

Not long ago, this publication produced print papers five times a week, and as recently as a year ago, three times a week.

Last semester, with the realization that more people are engaging our content online, we scaled back again, essentially becoming a weekly on the newsstands.

Our staff produces nearly as much content, in the form of videos, tweets and more, along with traditional articles, as it did when daily papers were the norm.

Our content has merely shifted, both in its presentation and its delivery method.

This doesn’t mean that we are no longer the “Daily” Wildcat, nor does it mean that “print is dead.”

Many of us in the industry still have a soft spot in our hearts for the smell of ink and newsprint, and beyond nostalgia, there is an undeniable permanence with a physical paper that will never be replicated in the digital realm. No one can pull the plug or “turn off ” a newspaper.

The shift to a digital-first approach has not diminished the significance of our print product; the paper is actually enhanced due to this method.

To that end, our staff has again decided to move forward rather than remain stagnant, and has embarked on a complete redesign of how our paper looks.

No longer will the publication be broken up into the typical news, arts and sports sections, with stories pigeonholed into rigid placements.

Instead, our staff is looking to other publications that have longer shelf lives, and implenting certain aspects of those alongside our own creative vision to transform the Daily Wildcat into a more free-flowing, accessible paper.

We are excited for how this will allow us to present information to you, our audience, and the new

KAT WRIGHT: COACH IN TRAINING

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

Imagine watching a team go 0-18 in conference play in a season and still muster the desire to not only play basketball, but coach it someday. This is Kat Wright, senior forward on the Arizona women’s basketball team, student of the game, player on some forgettable teams during her college career and future college basketball coach — or so she hopes.

Wright has a love of the game from a perspective not many do. She is a student, analyzing the Xs and Os in order to see what the end results not only could be, but whether they actually come to fruition. The process is not lost on her, though that method from a results standpoint has been tough to realize during her playing days.

Wright has been part of a winning season just once during her time at both Florida Atlantic University and Arizona. During her time with the Owls, they went a combined 41-43 in games she played, highlighted by a 14-10 record her freshman year before missing the rest of the season due to injury.

Her time at Arizona hasn’t been any better in terms of wins and losses. The Wildcats have a 6-19 record with just four games to play this season. She will finish her career with a losing record.

Prior to Arizona, the losses made Wright question whether playing basketball was something she wanted to do anymore. Having basketball taken away from her due to multiple injuries, and some encouraging words from former Amateur Athletic Union coach, Stan Delus, kept her hope alive.

“I’ve had so many different coaches, some that were good, some that were bad. There were moments early on where I didn’t want to play anymore,” Wright said. “[Delus] got me into college and kind of helped me overcome that hatred of basketball and turn it into

“

something else.”

That was the valley for Wright, the obstacles that can often sidetrack people from their dreams. So perhaps the peaks are just around the corner.

Those close to Wright say she always finds the positive in a situation; you have to when circumstances appear as bleak as they did. These attributes — mental toughness and persistence — are what separates most athletes from their average peers. For Wright, it starts upstairs.

“I’d always kind of been good at basketball, been good at Xs and Os. I understood the game more than most,” Wright said. “But it wasn’t really until I had a coach who kind of put me in a leadership role and said, ‘Hey, this is something you’re really good at,’ that I realized it for myself.”

... coaches touch more lives in a year than a person does in their

lifetime. I want to be able to do that.”

AMORAH TATE | THE DAILY WILDCAT

KAT WRIGHT, UA WOMEN'S basketball forward, was selected to be a part of the "So You Want to be a Coach" program starting in late March.

— KAT WRIGHT, WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PLAYER

That coach was former Florida Atlantic head coach Kellie Lewis-Jay, who Wright said she learned a lot from. She admired Lewis-Jay for her poise and teachings on how to deal with adversity, which was more evident during Wright’s last season with FAU, watching a winless team in conference play from the sidelines.

“When she came to me as a freshman, she came with a partially torn ACL, so she couldn’t practice, but I had to have her play,” Lewis-Jay said. “She started for me, and as a freshman, it is really hard to go to a Division I program and not practice but be able to play. But she is so smart, and her basketball IQ was so high, she could sit on the sidelines and absorb it like a senior when she was a freshman. So that was probably the first time she really knew what she was doing and understood the game. She is going to be a great coach.”

According to Lewis-Jay, Wright’s ability to be tough both mentally and physically will give her a big advantage. Her thirst for knowledge and absorption of the smaller details, like recruiting, have put her a step above her peers.

“She is a great recruiter; she was one of our best recruiters; she just understands all aspects of what it takes to be a coach, even at her young age,” Lewis-Jay said. “… Going into being a coach, this job is filled with lots of highs and lots of lows. … She is an extremely hard worker. She is going to leave everything she has on the court, and I have no doubt she will put everything she has into coaching.”

Wright credits Lewis-Jay for turning her into the person she is now. That mentorship is something she wants to give to someone else.

Another lesson? Surround yourself with great people — one of the reasons she finds herself at Arizona with the likes of coaches Adia Barnes, Morgan Valley, Salvo Coppa and Sunny Smallwood, all of whom have experienced success at multiple levels of basketball.

“Coaching is not only about what you know, but who you know, and it’s about the people that you surround yourself with,” Wright said. “It’s all about fight, if you decide to stick together or not. It’s a decision, too; there was a lot of breakdown on my old team, and it was mental lapses and a team that didn’t want to win and didn’t fight for it. I think here we fight every single night we are on the court. We don’t have numbers, but we work our butts off for each other, and we know that is what it’s going to take to get a win.”

The belief that student-athletes go to a university to propel themselves to a lifetime of riches certainly is not the case for a majority of those who don their school colors.

Professional careers outside of sports await most, but those who take advantage of opportunities are ahead of the life game, and Wright, selected as one of 62 participants in this year’s "So You Want to be a Coach" program, is doing just that.

The three-day workshop, put on by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, is designed as a network opportunity and education on the requirements and responsibilities that entail coaching college basketball. According to the WBCA, there have been 814 participants in the past 15 years of the event; 54 percent of those have gone on to coaching careers, and 53 participants are currently the head coach of a college basketball program.

“It’s great that at her age she is focused on knowing who she wants to be and what she wants to do,” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes said. “She is just so mature, and she is going to be a great coach. … For her, this is a great program, and it is not easy to get into. She is going to meet a lot of people and make a lot of connections and have the opportunity to start at some level, whether that is a coaching position or director of basketball operations position.”

Wright’s desire to influence and mentor is a common trait between herself and Barnes.

Both will have different paths to an ultimate goal, but the toughness is common among them.

“There is a saying that coaches touch more lives in a year than a person does in their lifespan. I want to be able to do that,” Wright said.

Flaws, family, focus revive Villarreal

BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKAllDay1

Distance running is more than just a game to Arizona track and field athlete Carlos Villarreal. To Villarreal, a redshirt sophomore, it’s a lifestyle.

After moving to the United States from Mexico when he was just 6 years old, Villarreal began playing a variety of different sports. After gradually improving on the basketball court, he realized that perhaps there was another activity he could participate in that might yield better results.

Villarreal was introduced to distance running, where he finally discovered his passion.

“I got my first taste of victory, and I was like, 'Wow, this feels incredible. I need to feel this again,'” Villarreal said.

Eventually, Villarreal’s family recognized his natural talent and began to support his endeavors on the track. It wasn’t long before success followed.

As a senior at Rio Rico High School, Villarreal was awarded the Southern Arizona Cross Country and Track Runner of the Year. He was also the recipient of several state honors from Gatorade. Villarreal finished his high school career holding school records in five events, as well as the state record in the 1,600-meter with a time of 4:03.97. Wanting to stay relatively close to his home and his family back in Mexico, Villarreal committed to making his next step as a Wildcat.

Villarreal’s time at Arizona hasn’t always been an easy journey, but that hasn’t stopped him from rising to the occasion. He spent his freshman cross-country season racing unattached to the team and getting a feel for the competition.

Unfortunately for Villarreal, an injury suffered in December 2015 forced him to sit out. A nagging case of IT band syndrome prevented Villarreal from returning to competition until October of 2016.

Despite his shortened training regimen and a nearly year-long absence, Villarreal surprised himself, submitting personal bests in the indoor mile and the 1,500-meter.

“That was a good sign considering I wasn’t running yearround. Knowing that I could PR [personal record] without being at my best gave me an extra boost of confidence going forward,” Villarreal said.

Since then, he’s used that confidence to post a top-10 NCAA Division I mark in the mile during this year’s indoor track season.

This season, Villarreal plans on being named a Pac-12 Champion.

“Last year I got fifth, but they are very strategic races, as in they usually come down to a sprint. Anyone can take the finish; it really just depends on who has the best positioning,”

Villarreal said.

Villarreal said he plans on using the lessons he's learned during his time at Arizona, including when he was injured, to continue to succeed. He said his redshirt season taught him to mentally and physically prepare for his races.

“I got to see how it all felt before actually competing, so it made me aware of the work that I needed to put in, in order to be successful,” Villarreal said.

Athletes don’t tend to reveal their flaws, but Villarreal notes that it’s important to work on his weaknesses. He admits he’s struggled to maintain his speed in the middle portion of his races ever since high school. It’s an aspect of his craft that he continues to work on, because he knows that it is the key capable of unlocking his full potential.

“Rather than drifting back and trying to kick and close the gap at the last second, I need to stay within about five meters to keep the front of the pack in my sights,” Villarreal said.

Improving his endurance in the middle of the race will

allow Villarreal to save his energy at the end. Instead of running out of gas on the final straightaway, Villarreal’s kick should become the final blow to his competitors on his way to victory.

On Jan. 27 , Villarreal placed fifth at the University of Washington Invitational with a personal record in the mile, clocking in at 3:59.65. He ran even faster this past weekend in Seattle at the Washington Husky Classic, placing third overall with a time of 3:57.64. He’s the 502nd American to break the four-minute mile barrier.

At the end of the day, Villarreal has plenty of motivation to keep moving forward. He’s one of the first members of his family to compete in Division I athletics. He has two younger siblings, who aspire both athletically and academically, and he has family living in Mexico that he wants to make proud.

Most importantly, Villarreal loves to race. It’s his lifestyle.

“There’s nothing that feels better than knowing you had a great race. You feel on top of the world,” Villarreal said.

Vegan is the only way to live COLUMNIST ALY CANTOR @DailyWildcat

This summer, I really tried to focus on my health. I cut out red meat, as well as dairy — mostly just milk, ‘cuz cheese is life — but that wasn’t enough for me.

In July, Netflix came out with a film called “What the Health.” If you haven’t heard of it or already watched it, I urge you to do so.

It explores the health benefits of cutting out animal products, like meat and dairy, from the diet.

If you don’t see yourself sitting down to watch a two-hour documentary about how dairy and meat will basically kill you, visit the film’s website for a breakdown of the stats discussed in the movie.

I would say the biggest takeaway is that many of the diseases discussed in the film, although somewhat genetic, could be reduced or reversed by adhering to a plantbased diet.

The movie shows multiple adults on medicine for breathing problems, not being able to walk, heart problems, etc., but once they started a plant-based diet, they were able to get off the medicine and live a better, healthier life. Heart disease is 57 percent lower in lifelong vegans than in meat eaters, according to the film.

This inspired me because I tend to overthink everything. When my stomach hurts, I turn to WebMD only to have it tell me I’m dying. With that being said, if something in my future — such as getting a life-threatening disease — can be changed, I might as well try it.

So, I did. I did it. I became vegan. With no support from my friends or family, I took the initiative to start living a cleaner, healthier lifestyle. My first stop on my train to veganism was Whole Foods.

I spent over an hour reading the ingredients, Googling “best vegan foods” and “must have vegan items.” I gathered my ingredients and went home to prepare my first vegan meal.

I made vegan stuffed shells. I did not tell my brother the meal was vegan because that would be an automatic turnoff, and he would head straight for the frozen chicken nuggets (which my dad bought for him in case he didn’t like the stuffed shells).

The result? He liked it! He had no idea there was no cheese in the stuffed shells and he went back for seconds. It was important to

prove to him that being vegan doesn’t mean only eating leaves.

In today’s world, there is dairy-free cheese, non-dairy ice cream ... basically anything you eat now can be made vegan.

About 6 percent of Americans now identify as vegan, according to a 2017 report by research firm Global Data, up from only 1 percent in 2014. The benefits speak for themselves, considering that consuming animal fats are linked to illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and various cancers.

I am now about 8 months into being vegan and 6 months into my sophomore year of college. It is exciting being the only one of my friends who is vegan because I am able to continue eating healthy (except for the vegan cookie dough binges, which my roommates seem to enjoy as they ate my new box of it).

I feel like a new person because of this healthy, clean eating.

I do not get as tired day-to-day. I find myself full of energy, ready to finish all my homework and can finally fit working out into my routine. I find the most difficult part of being vegan is doing it while at college.

Since I do not have a car, getting to the grocery store for fresh food is hard, and driving to vegan-friendly restaurants is a challenge. I do, however, have my own kitchen, which allows me to cook and prep my food how I like it.

Some of my favorite vegan restaurants are Lovin’ Spoonfuls, which features a full vegan menu, Guadalajara Grill, with its amazing veggie fajitas (and fresh salsa and guacamole), and of course, Goodness, with its many vegan bowls.

I am up for the challenge to see how long I can keep up the vegan lifestyle, before missing Parmesan cheese on my pasta becomes too much.

Now, I am not a health expert or knowit-all on this subject, but I have done my research. I know this movie has another side, and there are people that say going plantbased is not the best lifestyle and it cannot provide all the necessary nutrients.

My parents were some of those people, concerned that not eating meat was going to be my undoing. But after getting blood work done over winter break to see if I was indeed getting all my nutrients, the results showed no deficiencies; my levels of essential nutrients like protein and iron were normal and healthy.

Check out a vegan talk at the DeArmond Room, B307 Feb. 15 from 5–6:15 p.m.

— Aly Cantor is a sophomore studying pre-journalism and information science.

Can trees tell human and climate history?

UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research educates community through tours, opening the public to the research lab and giving insights on tree-based sciences

BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves

In the middle of the exhibit hall at the University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research stands a 4,000-pound cross-section of a giant sequoia that began its growth in 212 A.D. and fell in 1915.

The laboratory also houses over 2.5 million wood specimens in its archive for study.

There are multiple labs within the center, and each focus on a different application of dendrochronology, which is the study of time told by a tree’s rings. They each do research to better understand environmental sciences, anthropology and history in addition to educating the public, according to Randall Smith, lead docent at the lab.

“It takes years and years to reach from beginning to end,” Smith said. “That’s why my big concern with the program here is ‘how do you communicate science to the public?’”

The laboratory’s main mission is to remain at the forefront of dendrochronology through the use of tree rings as natural chronometers and recorders of change in the environment, according to its website.

The lab has graduate students using dendrochronology to create a dated history of environmental events and data all over the world. The students all come from different areas of study, including geography, chemistry, astronomy, physics, biology and more.

The lab is not part of an academic branch of the university — meaning that you can’t get a degree in dendrochronology — but students from a variety of programs do their lab work and research at the center to aid understanding in their field.

In order to inform the public on the “unique science culture” the lab brings to campus, Smith runs educational tours during the week.

“What we’re all about is helping people see the big picture and [educating public on environment],” Smith said.

The tour starts in the exhibit hall, introducing a history of dendrochronology and the importance of the lab to science around the world.

“About 10 years ago, we were asked by archeologists in Indonesia to date the Tambora eruption, because the international dateline didn’t exist then and affected the whole planet,” Smith said. “We use two things: the measurement of the changes in the upper atmosphere, and trees — so we were able to identify volcanic eruptions from long before Tambora using prevailing data.”

This is one of many ways research scientists have used data to help document environmental history and create an accurate climate timeline.

All of this data can be collected from samples of wood. Researchers use a device called an increment bore to drill into the tree by hand,

which is done carefully so the tree isn’t harmed. “[You] don’t need to drill from the outside of the tree all the way to the center to get his life story,” Smith said.

The tree will cover the hole created by the sample when it grows, and a small sample is far more efficient than cutting the tree down, according to Smith.

“When [the sample] comes out of the tree, it’s still living tissue,” Smith said. “The trick is to get it back to the lab without breaking.”

After collection, the sample goes to the wood shop across the street, where it gets polished and mounted for research. Then, the lab researchers can start to date the rings of the tree. “[I] compare it to the other trees that I’ve already looked at, and I can not only tell how old that tree was just by looking at a sample of it, but I can also tell you how old other trees are by making comparisons to it,” Smith said.

Researchers take pure cellulose from the tree to do a chemical analysis. They put the cellulose through a mass spectrometer, then send the chemistry report back to the tree-ring lab. A chemist on the fourth floor of the building interprets the report to figure out how much rainfall that area received in a specific year.

The report also shows how much CO2 there was in the area, what the atmosphere was like and the amounts of nitrogen and oxygen isotopes around that tree during each year. Researchers obtain a thorough understanding of the tree’s history, which helps build a chronology of climate zone records to identify patterns and pinpoint environmental conditions.

“I know the weather in fall 1925; I don’t know the rainfall in the year 620, but now I’ve got a calibration that works, then I’ve developed it for this climate zone, and then the more trees I add to it the more accurate my results get,” Smith said.

John Keck, a first-year Ph.D. student at the UA, works specifically with samples that focus in the Mediterranean area to fill in gaps in the chronological record.

“The things that the wood tells us about what people did in the past is really incredible, and I can tie a piece of wood that we had sent to us that has a characteristic signature that says all these things about people in the past,” Keck said. “This is pretty cool; that’s the kind of thing we like to work on in this lab.”

The lab holds docent-led tours on the following dates: Second Tuesday of the month (August through May) at 10 a.m.

Third Wednesday of the month (August through May) at 10 a.m.

Fourth Thursday of the month (August through May) at 2 p.m.

The Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research is located at the Bryant Bannister Tree-Ring Building, 1215 E. Lowell Street.

Race Track students keep Rillito stable In its 75th year of racing, Rillito Racetrack has found a reliable partner in the UA’s Race Track Industry Program

BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie

Horse race proceedings at Rillito Park Racetrack Feb. 10-11 had a distinctly Wildcat-like feel to them, with University of Arizona students at the heading nearly every facet of raceday operations.

From the paddocks to the holding pen, UA Race Track Industry Program students worked throughout the park to make the weekend festivities a reality. That’s all by design, according to the tracks general manager and UA alum Michael Weiss.

“For the past four seasons, I’ve worked with the students and placed them in positions that I think they’ll excel,” Weiss said. “And we’ve been about 100 percent with the graduating students in getting them jobs.”

Originally from Ohio and a selfdescribed racetrack industry “lifer,” Weiss has traveled from his home in Florida for the last four years to manage the 75-year-old Rillito, which bills itself as the home of quarter

horse racing and one of the first to implement a photo-finish.

When he first arrived at Rillito, Weiss could see the park’s limitations, but he knew the UA RTIP was an untapped asset. He immediately changed that, and formed a partnership between the program and the racetrack.

“The first year I was here, I went over and worked with [RTIP] and asked, ‘What have your students ever done?’” he said. “They had never had an association [in the industry].”

That partnership has paid dividends.

During opening weekend, animal sciences junior Nick Fanucchi wasn’t on site to help manage horses.

Instead, after three years working in the graphics department and being responsible for accurately identifying horses and odds during Rillito’s international simulcast stream, Fanucchi was responsible for all race-day simulcast graphics; he was responsible for relaying information to the camera operators on the ground regarding what needed to go into a shot.

MARISA FAVERO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

A JOCKEY MOUNTS HER horse in preperation for the second race of the day. Rillito Racetrack is the birthplace of quarter horse racing and helped implement the photo finish.

“It’s good experience for me,” Fanucchi said. “I get in two hours before post to get race changes or deal with any changes really, and I’m usually done around 5:30 p.m. I have to wait to show the prices for the last race before I’m done.”

Weiss noted that with other students, he preferred to reassign them to new positions each season.

Not so with Fanucchi. “He’s just so damn good at what he does,” Weiss said.

After growing up with family in the industry, Fanucchi said working at Rillito was a natural extension of something he grew up loving: seeing horses race.

Rillito’s social media manager, animal science senior Jade Eisenzimmer, shared that same love.

However, she called enrolling in RTIP an act of “pure happenstance.”

A North Dakota native and experienced rider, Eisenzimmer found herself in the paddock shooting pictures on her smartphone.

“I’m running all facets of our social

media: Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter,” she said. “We’re just taking any promotions that the track has and then we post it.”

Eisenzimmer said that with the chaos of opening weekend, she had to enlist friends to help manage all four of Rillito’s social media platforms.

It’s that chaos that encourages Weiss.

Although official numbers had not been released, he called the opening weekend attendance “great,” and said the atmosphere was something larger racetracks dreamed of.

With racing scheduled through March 18, Weiss encouraged UA students to attend. The track will hold themed weekends, with Feb. 24-25 dubbed “University of Arizona Days.”

Admission will be free with a Cat Card.

Weiss sees the current partnership between Rillito and RTIP as mutually beneficial, using the term “working lab.”

“There really is nothing like it,” Weiss said. “We are showcasing the students, and at the same time we are in the show business industry.”

UA reins in‘Cowboy Culture’ for rodeo season

BY LEIA LINN @DailyWildcat

The first Celebration of the Cowboys, in 1925, was three days of events and competition. Today, the event has grown to a nine-day celebration centered on the Tucson Rodeo, one of the top-25 professional rodeos in North America, according to TucsonRodeo.com.

In a talk with Alan Day, the author of “Cowboy Up! Life Lessons from Lazy B,” he said “Real cowboys” don’t just prance around on horseback; they spend their days working outside in the dirt among animals, and although being a cowboy isn’t always glamorous, real cowboys are proud of their country roots.

Day has been a real cowboy since he was born. His grandfather bought the Lazy B Ranch in 1880, and the next two generations of the Day family grew up on the ranch.

Day was raised with pet horses, cows, javelinas and hawks, and he rode his first horse, Chico, when he was just 5 years old.

In “Cowboy Up! Life Lessons from Lazy B,” he shares his stories about living on his ranch and all the lessons he’s learned, from climbing on windmills as a little boy to now operating the ranch for more than 40 years.

“There’s a lot of mystique about cowboy lifestyle,” Day said. “A cowboy is on

horseback a lot and working with horses and cattle.”

Cowboy culture belongs in the country, according to Day, making eastern Arizona a popular ranching area.

“There’s a lot of wanna-be cowboys and not too many of the real thing. You won’t find many of the real cowboys in Tucson; they’re out in the ranch,” Day said.

Day has sold his ranch, but has never stopped having a cowboy soul.

“I now live in town but my heart is still back out on the ranch,” Day said.

Although all cowboys may not be in Tucson city limits, students at the University of Arizona bring cowboy culture to campus.

Shelby Bates, UA agribusiness economics and management student, runs the UA Rodeo Team.

“The University of Arizona rodeo team is the nation’s oldest team,” Bates said. “The team competes in 10 collegiate rodeos across the states of Arizona and New Mexico.”

Students can get involved in cowboy culture by supporting the team because, according to Bates, “many people here at the university do not even know what a rodeo is.”

“I think it is important that people are informed that this is a way of life,” Bates said.

Members of the club learn competition, as well as how to deal with difficult situations and other skills that will help them in their

careers, according to Bates.

The club participates in many events at local rodeos, including bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, team roping, tie-down roping and steer wrestling.

“We would love to get as many students to come support us as we can,” Bates said. “We

would love to be something that everyone knows about again.”

On March 17 at 2 p.m., the UA Rodeo Team will be hosting its 79th home rodeo at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. The event is free to the public, and will mark the start of Rodeo Week.

POLICE BEAT

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @NessaMagnifique

Who’s There?

Two female Yavapai dorm residents woke up Jan. 26 to a real nightmare: a stranger in their room.

The students told a University of Arizona Police Department officer they were in their room by midnight and asleep by 1 a.m. Around 2 a.m., the girls were woken up by a female voice repeatedly saying, “Oh my God, I’m so cold!”

Each student thought it was the other saying this. Once they started talking to each other, the students realized there was a third girl present in the room.

One of the students grabbed a flashlight and shone it on an unknown girl. The girl immediately rose and ran out of the room, slamming the door closed behind her.

According to the officer, both students seemed very startled by the events.

The officer told the students that, after a night of drinking, people sometimes go into the wrong room.

The students told the officer they were positive their door was closed and locked.

The officer inspected the door and judged it to be sturdy and secure. There was no sign of forced entry and no scratches on the lock.

Both students told the officer they felt safe sleeping in the room after testing the door several times.

The students said they would not press charges if the girl was in the wrong room by accident, but would if they discovered that she was in there intentionally.

Fight Club It was a busy morning on Jan. 27 for three UAPD officers, as they left one call for service and walked right into another.

At approximately 3 a.m., the officers were exiting Coronado Residence Hall when they spotted a fight involving two male UA students and another man.

The males were physically pushing one another, as well as yelling taunts and provocations.

The officers broke up the fight and handcuffed the students and the man involved.

Upon detainment, the officers noticed the man smelled heavily of intoxicants. He also had red, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.

When questioned, the man told the officers that, while walking near the residence hall, he heard a group of guys “talking crap” and thought he was going to be attacked, so he began to follow the group. He could not explain why he would follow people he felt threatened by.

The man thought the group was laughing at him, so he shoved one of the students. Video evidence confirmed the man was the one who started the fight.

UAPD working to make campus-area streets safer

BY ZACHARY OGDEN @PurplaPanda

Drivers making their daily commute on Wednesday, Feb. 7, got a taste of a new traffic initiative as the University of Arizona Police Department rolled out its Community Awareness through Traffic Safety program.

According to Rene Hernandez, public information officer for UAPD, CATS was launched by the department a little over a year ago with hopes of making campus a safer place.

“CATS is a traffic initiative,” Hernandez said. “This is where we’re going to go out and try to alter behaviors of drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists in and around the University of Arizona campus.”

The program was made to educate and give warnings.

However, if a criminal infraction is committed, the police will write a ticket or even impound the vehicle.

“We will follow all of the laws in Arizona, and one of the statutes states that if you are driving with a suspended license, your vehicle has to be impounded until you get your license reinstated by the department of motor vehicles,” Hernandez said.

Police looked to enforce the speed limit and made sure cars stopped at red lights. Bicyclists and pedestrians were also scrutinized for using the crosswalk incorrectly.

“We basically wanted to make our community safer around the University of Arizona,” Hernandez said. “We have a large population of students, faculty and staff that walk and bike to school. And we wanted to go out and teach good habits, instead of letting bad habits form.”

The program is supposed to benefit those pulled over.

“Normally when people are speeding, it’s because they’re late to something, or something’s going on,” Hernandez said. “So instead of having to wait an extra 15 minutes for them to write a ticket, it makes it more efficient

for officers to get their contact with the individual.”

The department’s areas of concern are the stretches of Sixth Street and Speedway Boulevard between Euclid Avenue and Campbell Avenue.

The next CATS date is scheduled for Feb. 21 on the Speedway Boulevard stretch.

“We try to do two days a month, and we generally try to do them on heavy traffic flow. Dates vary, but times are normally in between 7 and 10 a.m.,” Hernandez said.

Usually a campus announcement is sent out prior. This lets students and faculty know when CATS is occurring so they can be aware of it.

“On average, we have about five to six officers from our motor unit go out for that three-hour period,” he said. “We normally get about 40 stops.”

The department has also recently acquired a new e-ticket writer called Thin Blue Line, which is used to speed up the paperwork done when pulling someone over.

“Before we had to handwrite all of our tickets and all of our warnings, and that took a lot of time — 10 to 15 minutes per stop,” Hernandez said. “Now we have the ability of scanning licenses and everything gets autopopulated into a printer and it just prints out.”

The device allows the department to be more efficient and reach more people in their goal to make the campus safer.

Thin Blue Line is still currently in its testing phase, but if the department likes it, they intend to purchase the program for other motor officers.

Since the start of the program in January, two vehicles have been impounded.

The police department is always looking for ways to broaden their communication with students, faculty and staff at the university. They hold brown-bag lunches, open seminars and an event called Coffee with a Cop throughout the year.

Regents take positions on upcoming legislation

BY JORDAN WILLIAMS @GoodDivaJayJay

The Arizona Board of Regents took positions on seven bills the Arizona Legislature are considering during its second day of meetings at Arizona State University in Tempe on Friday, Feb. 9.

Among the proposed legislation the regents oppose is House Bill 2172, the controversial bill that would prevent any post-secondary educational institute from restricting nonlethal weapons on campus.

The regents support House Bills 2482 and 2475, along with Senate Bill 1215.

House Bill 2482 provides a tuition waiver scholarship for students who were in foster care to attend any of Arizona’s public

universities.

This waiver would apply to students that are residents of Arizona, are at least 13 years old and are either currently in or were adopted from foster care.

House Bill 2475 appropriates $1.446 million from the state general fund to pay for the tuition and fees for Arizona National Guard Members. This appropriation applies in fiscal year 2018–2019.

Senate Bill 1215 continues the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) through July 1, 2026. WICHE is a program that provides three students the oppurtunity to study at any other WICHE school, which are located throughout the West Coast and Pacific, for a discounted tuition rate.

According to the WICHE website, Arizona joined the pact in 1953 and currently offers all

three programs to its students.

Along with House Bill 2172, the regents also oppose House Bill 2280 and Senate Bill 1422.

HB 2280 restricts the board and universities under its control from entering a development agreement or signing a lease with a private lessor for commercial use unless the property in question is used for academic purposes.

The bill would also not allow the board to designate a new research park beyond the borders of a current research park without approval from the state legislature. This same rule applies to the expansinon of a current research park.

It also requires the board review and approve all leases universities enter into after July 1 for compliance, not approving of the leases themselves. The board would only be allowed to approve the lease for compliance

if there is a link between the “lease and the academic mission of the university.”

According to the board’s press release, “the legislation would restrict the ability of Arizona’s universities to be entrepreneurial and innovative in pursuing alternative ways to fund higher education.”

Senate Bill 1422 would require tuition and fees to be subject to legislative appropriation and given back to each university in their own tuition and fees subaccount.

The bill would also separate tuition for online students by regardless of whether the student is an Arizona resident.

The regents have taken a neutral position on House Bill 2563, which addresses free speech on both university campuses and community college campuses.

Board approves Sumlin contract, policy revision

BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie

The Arizona Board of Regents approved the contract of University of Arizona football head coach Kevin Sumlin on Feb. 8 after approving revisions in the language to several board policies governing how coaches and athletics directors are hired.

The board, which governs the state’s three public universities, finalized the five-year, $14.5 million contract in a unanimous vote.

Sumlin stands to collect $2 million a year in the first two years of the contract, with an increase to $3 million in the last three years.

“Sumlin is a highly qualified coach with an impressive background,” the action item read.

“His leadership will bring an exciting new era of football and a positive culture for our student athletes, fans and staff.”

The contract includes a multitude of monetary incentives contingent on graduating a certain percentage of players, winning games and being invited to a certain tier of post-season play. All told, Sumlin could potentially earn an extra $2 million annually in incentives.

Also included in the contract are use of a vehicle, a membership at a local country club and use of a non-commercial jet.

Notably, the contract also includes a $10 million buyout if the UA chooses to fire Sumlin in his first two years without cause.

That amount drops to $3.5 million during his final year.

Should Sumlin choose to terminate the contract, he would owe the UA anywhere from $10 million in the first two years gradually down to $1 million in his fifth. His salary will be paid from athletic department revenue, with no money being drawn from donors or appropriated funds.

MICHELLE TOMASZKOWICZ | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE ARIZONA BOARD OF Regents await comments from the public at their meeting on April 6, 2017 in the Grand Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center.

The vote came on the same day the board proposed changes to the Board Policy Manual, specifically chapter six, which details personnel hiring practices and procedures.

Proposed to “consolidate board rules regarding these multiple-year contracts in a single policy,” the changes centered on what information universities will be required to provide the board to justify multi-year contracts to football, basketball and baseball coaches, as well as athletic directors.

In comparison, the new amendments are significantly more detailed. The old policy,

last revised in 1988, required schools only inform the board of “additional significant provisions of the contract.”

Now, university presidents are mandated to divulge a coach’s “outside income, e.g., other service agreements, endorsements, real estate interests with proximity or connection to athletics or athletics facilities,” according to the board action item.

Universities will also be expected to present the board with the terms of any buyout a perspective coach or athletic director received from their previous employer, as well as a

“clawback provision,” ostensibly to recuperate any monetary incentives if it is found NCAA rules were violated during a coach’s tenure.

Additionally, extra language was added regarding adherence to Title IX, the federal equal opportunity statute.

The state universities will “require each athletics director and head coach to comply with all board and university policies, including all reporting and other requirements,” with respect to Title IX, according to the action item.

College of Letters on the chopping block

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

During the Arizona Board of Regent’s Feb. 8 meeting, the University of Arizona asked the regents to review and approve a number of new academic programs for the next academic year, as well as eliminate the UA’s College of Letters, Arts and Science and Outreach College.

In order to ensure all students attending one of Arizona’s three public universities graduates with a useful degree, the regents asked the UA to provide ample justification for any new programs.

“How will students benefit from this degree?” asked the board.

The regents also asked that new programs show a unique niche to fill and outline a

plan to ensure students walk away from the program with a demonstrable set of skills.

The UA asked the regents to approve three new Bachelor of Arts and five new Bachelors of Science programs, with focuses that ranged from nutrition and data science to education for the deaf.

All of these programs will be offered during the UA’s 2018–2019 catalog year, with the approval of the regents.

In addition, four new master’s programs and a doctoral program will be created, focusing primarily on health care and business. With these new additions, the UA asked the regents to end its Natural Science for Teachers Masters of Science program due to low enrollment.

The UA has also asked for the regents’ permission to dissolve its Outreach College and College of Letters, Arts and Science.

“This umbrella college [College of Letters, Arts and Science] was designed to contain the four separate colleges, but also to maintain branding and donor bases that were already deeply established; the individual colleges would remain intact,” the UA’s request read.

Current students in the college will receive interdisciplinary degrees and will not be affected by this change.

All undeclared majors will now be clustered in meta-majors with specific advisors. Once students select a major, they will be transferred to the appropriate program advisers.

“This will provide deeper connections between the student and the adviser and allow more focused major exploration programing for undecided students,” UA’s request read.

Since 2009, the Associate Dean in Humanities, currently Kimberly Jones, has

overseen the college. A new administrator in the currently unfilled Provost’s Office will be hired to oversee the new advising unit.

As for the Outreach College, other segments of the university have incorporated its responsibilities into their own.

“The functions of the Outreach College have transitioned to the UA Online and the Distance Campus administered under Academic Initiatives and Student Success in the Office of the Senior Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and reporting to the Provost,” UA’s request form read.

With the regents’ approval, students will start seeing these changes take effect in the 2018–2019 academic school year. By that time, the UA will be brainstorming a new set of programs to compete for students’ educational dreams.

“There’s always backlash and pushback,” Andrade Mendoza said. “People fail to even understand the reality [of DREAMers] and what’s happening.”

Andrade Mendoza described DREAMers as just normal people.

“We’re just ordinary people trying to make it,” Andrade Mendoza said. “We’re resilient. It’s difficult to accomplish things when there are systems in place preventing you from doing them.”

Even with DACA, students do not get financial aid or many other benefits often funded by American tax payers.

“We’ve been fighting for over a decade for many things that people take for granted, like getting a driver’s license, being able to work, getting scholarships and going to school,” Andrade Mendoza said. “It’s important to recognize how resilient and brave the [undocumented] population is.”

and a broken immigration system. It’s sort of a false equivalency,” Trevisani said. “[The president] said a lot to divide and, in some cases, to associate undocumented immigrants with violent criminals. For a lot of folks here in Tucson, particularly in immigrant communities, the speech didn’t do a lot to help them sleep better at night.”

Andrade Mendoza explained why the term DREAMer is so important: “The idea of being a DREAMer is that you don’t have a permanent status or a set future here like Americans do,” Andrade Mendoza said. “It’s very hard to get the same status as American citizenship, and Trump saying that takes away from the entire DREAMer movement.”

Backlash and countermovements are common with controversial subjects like DACA and DREAMers, according to Andrade Mendoza.

President Donald Trump’s State of the Union reference to “DREAMers” has drawn criticism from the DACA community and allies.

“My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans — to protect their safety, their families, their communities and their right to the ‘American Dream,’” Trump said during his address to America. “Because Americans are dreamers, too.”

DREAMers, a term derived from the DREAM Act, has been used to describe a generation of undocumented immigrants that were brought to the United States as children.

Many DREAMers and their supporters believe Trump’s phrase, “Americans are dreamers, too,” was a direct attempt to undermine the term DREAMers.

Trump ended DACA last September, but left time for Congress to pass legislation to help DREAMers. Congress has moved slowly on the matter, starting debates this week.

Dario Andrade Mendoza, DACA student and communications co-director of ScholarshipsAZ, likened Trump’s statement to how many have turned the phrase “Black Lives Matter” into “All Lives Matter.”

“When [Black Lives Matter] comes up in conversation, people get uncomfortable because they don’t want to see the reality. They start saying ‘All Lives Matter’ and take away from the dialogue to feel more comfortable, and in a way, they dismiss the conversation,” Andrade Mendoza said. “[Trump] was trying to do the same thing when talking about DACA.” Political science senior Enrico Trevisani echoed a similar sentiment.

“All Americans have dreams, but not all folks’ dreams are being crushed by laws

OPINION

Language matters in immigration debate COLUMNIST CLAUDIA DRACE @claudiadrace

I

Halstead described it as, “It’s like your very presence defines you.”

When we refer to immigrants as illegals, it distracts from all the other things that define them. Undocumented migrants are more than we give them credit for. They have families, jobs, passions, hobbies and interests. They are more than their citizenship status. They are people, too.

It is true they are entering into this country without their papers, and that could be considered an illegal act.

However, by calling them illegals, it is putting them into a box that makes it hard to see anything past the fact that they do not have their papers.

Calling someone undocumented, rather than illegal, makes them seem a lot less dangerous. Calling someone illegal makes it easier for immigration opponents to project the idea that not having their papers isn’t the only crime they are committing.

mmigration has been a hot topic lately with concerns regarding the status of people who live in the U.S. under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).

The platform on the right is to clamp down on immigration and paint these undocumented migrants as criminals. The right fires up its base by using vocabulary that dehumanizes and criminalizes these migrants. Undocumented migrants are commonly referred to as “illegal immigrants,” or even just as “illegals.”

These names are not used by just one side either. They are used by people who are pro-immigration and anti-immigration alike.

Rhetoric is extremely By calling them illegals, it is putting important when talking about these issues because it them into a box that makes it hard to can create an inherent bias see anything past the fact that they do about how these people are not have their papers.” perceived.

Over the summer, I interviewed Chelsea Halstead, deputy director for the Colibrí This notion is further echoed on the Center for Human Rights, which is a right, like when President Donald Trump nonprofit organization based in Tucson said, “They’re bringing drugs. They’re that works closely with people who had bringing crime. They’re rapists.” migrant family members go missing.

In reality, most migrants are not I conducted this interview with her for dangerous criminals. Most of them have a different project that I worked on with good intentions. They are coming here “Thin Air Podcast,” but her insight about because the situation at home is not immigration rhetoric was something that good and they are seeking a better life for has stuck with me. This conversation is themselves and their families. Many of timely, given all of the recent talk about them just work and try not to cause any immigration. trouble.

When I asked her about how The use of the word illegal to label immigration is portrayed in the media, undocumented migrants creates an she brought up the use of the word illegal inherent bias, instilled in the American to describe migrants. people, to be wary of people without their One point she made is there is no other papers. crime in the U.S. people can commit that An easy way to minimize this bias will get them labeled as illegal. There are is to take the word illegal out of your actions or things that are described as vocabulary when you are referring to illegal, but the word illegal is seldom used undocumented migrants.
