A great grad photo, but at what cost?

BY VICTOR GARCIA @VicGarcia96

After a long college career, graduation stands out as a pinnacle of anxiety and excitement for the class of 2018. There are a few things to check off the list before walking up on the graduation stage and claiming the long-awaited diploma, one of which is senior pictures.

While the composition some soon-to-be graduates choose for their portraits can seem harmless, it can be harmful for UA’s plant life and animal residents.

Aside from the obligatory and overly expensive accessories that come into play for graduation, pictures at Old Main are an expected tradition.

“

means it is not going to degrade in the environment,” said Catherine Riedel, co-director of Students for Sustainability. “It is just going to sit until it rains and gets washed up by the water sewage, or into rivers, eventually.”

According to Riedel, Students for Sustainability has been trying to institutionalize sustainability as well as inspire other students to make better choices in keeping a healthy UA campus environment.

“Confetti is a form of pollution that is a concern for us,” Riedel said.

Aside from the dangers the microplastic can cause to the soil at UA, according to Dowd, the shiny pollutant can put wildlife in danger as well.

“Animals like birds, rodents, even lizards I believe sometimes are attracted to this and they eat it and they can’t digest plastic any better than we can and ultimately it can lead to the death of them,” Dowd said.

As one generation can’t wait to run on to live their new lives, awaits a different fate  CATHERINE RIEDEL, CODIRECTOR, SFS another due to a handful of sparkles.

To avoid this tiny form of pollution on campus, students who are thinking of using confetti in their photos on the grass and accumulating on the asphalt.

“Confetti is classified as a microplastic, which it is a form of littering, I suppose,” said Sandra Dowd, UA grounds superintendent.

According to Dowd, the UA Grounds Department deals with this form of littering every semester as students get ready to finish their college careers.

“We do our best to clean it up, there are some areas that are easier to clean up than others,” she said.

“The grass area and off the sidewalk are among the easiest.”

Difficult sites to rid the campus of the sparkling nuisance include rocky and mulched areas.

According to Dowd, between 80 to 90 percent of the plastic sparkles get picked up and the rest gets washed away by water waste systems.

Trails of clustered sparkles stretching from University Boulevard to Old Main are visible, tangled

Facilities Management shoots for award

BY ALANA MINKLER @DailyWildcat

The University of Arizona Facilities Management department attempted to impress consulting service APPA: Leadership in Educational Facilities on Monday, April 30, in hopes the UA’s application for the APPA Award for Excellence would be renewed.

Chris Kopach, assistant vice president of UA Facilities Management and current president of the APPA Board of Directors, said it won the award five years ago, and Facilities Management wanted to reapply for it so people know its work is verified and high quality.

“We [want to be] looked at being one of the best of the best,” Kopach said.

APPA networks with colleges and universities to find out what the best practices for facilities management are. According to the APPA website, “The APPA Award for Excellence is designed to recognize and advance excellence in the field of educational facilities.”

The award, established in 1988, is the “highest institutional honor and provides educational institutions the opportunity for national and international recognition for their outstanding achievements in facilities management," according to the APPA website.

The review process for the award takes a year.

Members from Michigan State University, Penn State and the University of Wisconsin met on Monday morning at UA Facilities Management to review and tour

the facilities.

Jill Burris, Facilities Management project manager, wasn’t worried about the review.

“This is more of a validation than anything,” she said. “It’s really easy to write a really nice narrative and then come and see that none of it is at play. We are just validating what is on paper is actually in practice.”

Student outreach invaluable Facilities Management is highly invested in student engagement on campus, especially in their partnership with Students for Sustainability, according to Kopach.

“We are doing a number of creative ideas with the students,” he said. “We have a very committed student population here to help with recycling and facilities management from my end, and my staff will continue partnering with them.”

Kopach mentioned Greening the Game, an ongoing project through Students for Sustainability, as one of the programs Facilities Management works with the most.

Celeste Colmenares, the project manager of Greening the Game and a junior majoring in sustainable built environments, said commitment to Greening the Game is about 8-9 hours per game.

The initiative is run by about 20 paid employees and is funded by the Green Fund. During basketball and football games, the club collects and sorts through compost, trash and recycling.

“It’s a mutual benefit because it helps the clubs get paid and it helps us do our job,” Colmenares said. “If you see someone at a game and they’re wearing a green vest, then the event is a zero-waste or recycling event.

Those students are working hard to lower our impact on the environment through diversion practices, such as composting and recycling.”

COLORADO WIDE RECEIVER SHAY Fields catches a touchdown pass ahead of Arizona cornerback Dane Cruikshank (9) at Arizona Stadium on Nov. 12, 2016.

Five former ‘Cats given chance to play in NFL

BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKAllDay1

This past weekend, the 2018 NFL Draft took place in Dallas, Texas, where 256 college athletes were selected to play professional football for 32 prospective organizations.

Hundreds more signed undrafted contracts with NFL teams at the conclusion of the draft.

Dane Cruikshank The latest (and only) Arizona Wildcat to hear his name called in the NFL Draft was defensive back Dane Cruikshank.

Tennessee traded up in round five on Saturday afternoon to select Cruikshank with the 152nd overall pick.

The Titans felt strongly enough about the Arizona defensive back that they were willing to ditch their final two selections in exchange for Baltimore’s fifth-round pick.

After a strong showing at the NFL scouting combine, and an impressive week of practice at the East-West Shrine Game, Cruikshank rose in mock drafts and drew praise from a few NFL scouts.

In Tennessee, Cruikshank will be reunited with former Arizona receivers coach Tony Dews. Dews was Cruikshank’s primary recruiter coming out of Citrus College in Glendora, California. Now, he serves as the Titans running back coach.

Despite being the lone Arizona player to be drafted over the weekend, Cruikshank wasn’t the only Wildcat given an opportunity to play in the NFL. Jacob Alsadek In the wake of the draft, two former Arizona offensive linemen

were offered free agent contracts. Jacob Alsadek parlayed three years as a starter at Arizona into an undrafted free agent deal with the Green Bay Packers. Alsadek will rejoin former Arizona defensive lineman Reggie Gilbert.

The 6-foot-7, 317-pounder athlete is capable of lining up at either of the tackle or guard positions. Three years of consistent tape and a strong showing at UA’s Pro Day in March helped Alsadek find a suitor for next fall.

Gerhard de Beer Alsadek’s teammate and South Africa-native offensive lineman Gerhard de Beer also received an offer, inking a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills. De Beer made the most of his time as a Wildcat, starring for the UA track and field team, as well as helping the rushing attack at Arizona burst onto the national scene.

The 6-foot-8 physical lineman has the chance to become only the third South African football player to make his mark in the NFL. His potential mirrors that of other monstrous tackles selected in the draft, but his lack of experience played a key role in not being drafted and could ultimately hold him back at the next level.

Nick Wilson The final Wildcats to extend their playing careers over the weekend were former running backs Zach Green and Nick Wilson.

Shortly after the draft concluded Saturday, April 28, Wilson announced he was signing with the Chicago Bears on Twitter.

Wilson looked to be a budding star in his freshman year at Arizona, racking up 1,375 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns.

However, a combination of foot, shoulder and knee injuries plagued Wilson over the next three years, and he was never able to see the field consistently as a result. Wilson is a dynamic back when healthy and could serve as a backup to Chicago’s Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen.

Zach Green On Saturday night, Green also indicated on Twitter he was signing as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Green will join a crowded Bengals backfield where he’ll try to fight reps away from Joe Mixon, Giovani Bernard and fellow 2018 draftee Mark Walton.

Although Green was never featured as Arizona’s primary ball carrier, he still managed to draw enough interest from NFL teams as a possible goal line back. In 2017, he added 11 touchdowns to Arizona’s dynamic rushing attack.

Green’s strong frame and aggressive running style helped him fit at Arizona and should benefit him with the Bengals.

His ability to bounce off of tackles and get skinny through the skirmish near the end zone are attributes that can make him an intriguing ball carrier at the next level.

Lack of UA NFL Draft picks Since 2008, just 20 Arizona football student-athletes have been selected in the NFL Draft. Under former head coach Rich Rodriguez, Arizona didn’t produce a single pick in the first three rounds.

Arizona’s new head coach Kevin Sumlin, on the other hand, has a list of numerous high-profile players that have gone on to be high draft picks, including last year’s No. 1 overall selection, Myles Garrett.

Within 10 minutes of awakening you forget 90% of your dreams.

When you pass out do you still have REM sleep?

An unfortunate effect of alcohol is the disruption of sleep patterns. This disruption can lead to restless sleep and other sleep problems, which can cause fatigue, memory, cognition, and motor deficits the following day.

Alcohol also impacts our dreams. Even at low amounts, alcohol suppresses REM (“rapid eye movement”) sleep, which is the stage of the sleep cycle where the majority of dreaming occurs. When the amount of alcohol is low, REM sleep is restrained only in the first half of the night. At larger amounts, REM sleep is suppressed throughout the night. If you skip your REM dream cycle, how will you enjoy battling zombie crab-monsters or riding your dragon naked through your old high school auditorium which now somehow resembles an apocalyptic Disneyland?

All kidding aside, REM sleep is very important. The benefits include enabling our minds to process emotions, memories, and stress much more effectively. REM sleep helps our brain learn and develop new skills.

Researchers postulate that dreams are the brain’s way of handling information we get during each day.

Beyond the disruption of REM sleep, there are serious dangers of drinking until you pass out. At a BAC level of .25 to .3, average drinkers become sedated, have trouble standing, perceiving what is going on, and staying awake. As the possibility of alcohol poisoning increases, drinkers may choke on their vomit. Most drinkers will lose consciousness around .4 BAC and risk going into a coma.

In the end, our dreams are meaningful, entertaining, and vitally important to our health – providing peeks into our subconscious, possibly correcting imbalances in our psyche, and finding creative solutions to problems we are up against in life, be they feeling overwhelmed by exams or battling zombie crab-monsters.

POLICE BEAT

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @NessaMagnifique

After school special The Highland Market supervisor called the University of Arizona Police Department on March 23 to help him nab the latest shoplifting suspect: a middle schooler.

The suspect was described as a 12-year-old boy who appeared to be wearing the uniform required at Mansfeld Magnet Middle School.

Dispatch gave the description of the suspect to a UAPD officer, but no one matched the description near the middle school.

According to the supervisor, at around 3:50 p.m. one of the market employees noticed a boy concealing a pack of Sour Patch gummies and a strawberry ice cream bar.

The supervisor approached the boy and asked him about shoplifting. The boy then removed the ice cream bar from the front pocket of his hoodie.

The supervisor told the boy that he would have to address his actions, at which point the boy walked out of the store. When he left, he had a bag of potato chips in his hand, which he did not pay for.

The total value of the stolen items was $5.17. If the suspect is found, the supervisor wanted to press charges.

Hot wheels The UAPD was called to aid the Tucson Fire Department at the scene of a burning car at approximately 5 p.m. on April 22.

When the officer arrived on scene at a parking lot on Anklam Road, the TFD was already in the process of extinguishing the smoking vehicle.

The UAPD officer noticed that the car appeared to have been in a collision, which the driver later confirmed.

Damage to the front of the vehicle included the hood appearing bent upward along its width.

The UAPD officer left the scene but returned to notifiy the Tucson Police Department about a front bumper and broken glass on the south side of a nearby street. The TPD officer asked the UAPD officer to determine the sobriety of the woman associated with the vehicle.

The UAPD officer administered a field sobriety test on the woman. She exhibited multiple signs of being under the influence.

The TPD officer arrested the woman for driving while impaired to the slightest degree.

Sunshine and happiness Smiles are abundant whenever Project Sunshine members enter a room.

They recently won Chapter of the Year for their work in the community

BY MEKAYLA PHAN AND MARQUIES WHITE @Marquies_White

The University of Arizona’s Project Sunshine chapter sends out the most smiles in the nation, or so their new Chapter of the Year award suggests.

Project Sunshine is an international organization that tries to brighten children’s visits to the hospital by bringing them arts and crafts, storytelling and other fun activities. The UA chapter volunteers at Tucson Medical Center, El Rio Community Health Center, Z Mansion and the Ronald McDonald House, among other locations.

The UA chapter has set itself apart with additional outreach programs, like visiting homeless shelters and contributing extra crafts aside from those in the budget. This extra effort and dedication is what got the club named Chapter of the Year out of around 50 college chapters nationwide.

“This has become a really big part of my life,” said nutritional sciences junior Molly Jepson, Project Sunshine’s co-president.

“I just have a large passion for it, and I just want everyone to feel that passion.”

She also added that it’s always rewarding to help out at clinics in the Tucson community.

Jepson came across Project Sunshine

in her freshman year through her dorm mates and encouraged her twin sister, Regan, to join as well. Public health junior Erin Pelley, co-president with Jepson, discovered Project Sunshine at a club fair in her sophomore year.

The first event Pelley volunteered at made a lasting impression on her.

“I had set up the tables, and it was a little slow. I thought, ‘Rats, this isn’t going to be good and no one’s going to come,’” she said. “Then this little girl comes over and she just starts doing crafts. And the mom sat down and she started doing a craft with us too … That’s why I’m here.”

For its members, Project Sunshine is more than just charity work. The club is dedicated to the mission in its motto: “sending sunshine.”

“The club is built on friendship, and we try and expand our friendships into the hospital,” Pelley said. “We radiate an energy that is pretty contagious. When we get there, everyone smiles and we smile.”

From geology majors to education majors and all others, Project Sunshine’s diverse group members had nothing but praise and support for the organization.

The co-presidents said one of their biggest challenges is member retention and keeping everyone engaged.

Currently, however, Project Sunshine has around 30 to 40 recurring members that actively participate in volunteer work, meetings and socials.

“It’s a very compassionate group of people that have gotten involved,” Regan Jepson said. “They all share a common interest in that they all want to help each other, and that’s the reason for the success of the club.”

Molly Jepson agreed, saying Project Sunshine’s current group is full of good, caring people.

One of those people, Taylor Young, a pre-nursing freshman, was recently elected next years volunteer coordinator.

“I’m really shocked at how well organized the entire club is and how comforting and welcoming the upperclassmen of the club are.”

Project Sunshine hopes to expand into more hospitals, school programs and nursing homes. It currently has the opportunity to work with Camp Abilities Tucson, a sports camp for visually impaired students, this summer and is pursuing a project with Diamond’s Children Medical Center to do STEM projects with children at Banner University Medical Center.

Journalism from around the world Students studying in Tunisia visited the UA School of Journalism and The Daily Wildcat newsroom as a part of the Al-Jisr Exchange Program. These are their experiences

BY BASHEER ALDHORAI

The Republic of Tunisia, which is located in North Africa and overlooks Europe, is characterized not only by its beautiful nature and its diverse cultural heritage, but also its focus on education since gaining independence from French occupation in 1956. Tunisia is distinguished from the rest of the countries in the Arab region and North Africa for education.

Tunisia has become a destination for foreign students, where more than 8,000 students from 32 Arab, African and Asian nations are studying, 70 percent of them in private Tunisian universities and 30 percent in public universities, according to official press reports.

Personally, I have chosen to continue my academic studies in Tunisia, most notably because of the reputation of education there, the price of living, the status of graduates of Tunisian universities in the professional world and the democratic environment in the country after the revolution of Jan. 14, 2011.

That revolution created a good atmosphere for freedom of expression and the press compared to other Arab and African countries.

We know that the cost of studying in any foreign country is an important factor for making the decision to study in one country over another. In Tunisia, students in public universities pay no more than $50 U.S. per academic year, whether foreign or national.

This feature has been guaranteed by the country’s free education system since independence. If you attend a private university, it varies by specialty, but the average fee for the academic year is $2,500.

This is what we pay for universities, but what about housing and living? In my experience, a foreign student can live in Tunisia at a cost of $250. Just like local Tunisian students, they get reduced fees for transportation and university restaurants, free tickets at museums or art and cultural events.

As for the quality of education in Tunisia, it is distinct from the Arab and African region. In the last 50 years, Institute of Journalism university graduates, both Tunisian and foreign, who have been well-established in their fields, are at the forefront of the press scene for media organizations in the Middle East and North Africa.

As a foreign student you will find

opportunities to participate in training workshops and professional and academic events. At my college, the most wellknown media organizations such as BBC and Al Jazeera hold free courses for students in cooperation with the Institute. This is another indicator of the great prestige of the Institute in Arab and African countries.

How do Tunisians deal with foreigners, especially students?

With a population of about 11 million, Tunisia has a strong tourism industry.

Every year, about 7 million tourists travel to Tunisia, so Tunisians are used to greeting foreigners with a smile and tips to help you live well in a country called “Green.”

In Tunisia, there is a good coexistence between every difference. This coexistence evolves day after day. The country mixes the originality of the East with the modernity of the West. Peace is also a prominent feature of Tunisians in their daily behavior on the street.

When you make a transgression against a native Tunisian, he may ask for pardons from you. Perhaps this explains the absence of bloody massacres in the history of this country compared to its surroundings. The country obtained independence in a peaceful manner as well as their revolution without violence.

The activities of literature, poetry, art, music, cinema, culture and theater throughout the year will find you mixing among communities of Arab, African, Amazigh and Francophone. These experiences will add a lot to your own outlook.

The language spoken by the general public here is a mixture of French and Arabic. English has a good presence as well. For students from many countries, especially Southeast Asia — such as China, Japan and Korea — it is a matter of interest to students who come to Tunisia to learn Arabic.

This is the life I live in Tunisia as a foreign student. Every new day will contribute to adding things that have not yet appeared to me. It is an experience that I hope will continue and develop. Tunisia is a country worthy of being a destination for science and culture.

TUNISIAN STUDENTS, PART OF the Al-Jisr Exchange Program, talk to UA students at The Daily Wildcat about the different forms of journalism in Tunisia and the U.S. Manal Issa (center right) gives examples of how reporting is different in her hometown.

BY MANAL ISSA

I just had my first travel trip and what a start.

I am a member of the Al-Jisr Exchange Program, a platform between students from the UA School of Journalism and students from Tunisia which started as a Facebook group. “Al-Jisr" translates to “the bridge” in English.

For a couple of months both American and Tunisian students exchanged ideas, thoughts and information about journalism and culture.

As a program, Al-Jisr encourages students to be citizen journalists who share and investigate different elements of student’s lives.

I have been passionate about journalism for a long time, and I am lucky to learn and practice journalism as part of the new generation of journalists following the Tunisian Revolution. It was with that spirit that I looked forward to the trip to Tucson.

After a long flight, my colleagues and I finally arrived. First, we met some of our colleagues from the University of Arizona, and I personally felt like I was home.

Our second day was extremely special for me. I never imagined I would get the chance to go to the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Thus, I had a mixture of feelings between sadness and strangeness because borders are not supposed to

separate humans.

At the UA I participated in interesting activities, like flying a drone and learning video and audio editing. I visited the The Daily Wildcat newsroom. It was an amazing experience to be next to our colleagues while they were preparing their newspaper for the next day.

I also was fortunate enough to visit Arizona Public Media, the local National Public Radio affiliate, and got the chance to see different parts in the process of putting their work together.

I was excited to try new foods in Tucson, including having my first hamburger and trying a Native American dish called “fry bread” at Mission San Xavier del Bac. I also enjoyed Mexican food like “tacos." But, I think I fell in love with the burgers most.

Honestly, I’m glad that my trip was not to one of the most popular cities in the U.S. It was to a city I had never heard about until I became part of Al-Jisr.

It was such a memorable experience.

I went home filled with much love and happiness. I fell in love with Tucson and its people. I’m not saying goodbye to Tucson, because I’m coming back soon.

A

s a librarian, I am skeptical of tweeting. I see all the misuse — false information, nasty remarks, disrespect for complete sentences and disregard for sound research. Overuse of this social media tool rains down on us from above unlike birdsong. (228 characters with spaces) As a poet, I am intrigued by the idea of a disciplined 140 or 280 characters to express a thought. (I’m not sure if spaces are counted.) A poet strives to compress a narrative to its crystalline core in order to communicate a point of truth or beauty. (251 characters with spaces) I know that the plea I make requires the energy, strength and vision of young people. Old people like me are not enough. Twitter may already be too oldfashioned for you, but will you grant me 12 non-Twitter tweets? The future is in your hands. (244 characters with spaces) I invite you to take up the standard for a monastery — the Benedictine Monastery of the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration at 800 N. Country Club Road. It is in your

neighborhood; the property is proposed for student housing. Take a look. (234 characters with spaces) If not student housing, then high-rise apartments, six or seven stories (incomplete sentence). Either way, tall buildings, noise, traffic, congestion would surround and drown the monastery. It is unprotected by its historic preservation listing and could even be torn down. (273 characters with spaces) The monastery is old — 1940. The idea is even older — 500 A.D., when a student named Benedict left the decadent culture of Rome to live a simple, spiritual life in the countryside.

OPINION

Democrats hope for blue wave COLUMNIST ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat

T

hings are looking good for Democrats right now. President Donald Trump has had an approval rating below 50 percent for the entire first year and a half of his administration, the Republicandominated House of Representatives and Senate are hovering around 18 percent approval, progressive rallies for gun control and gender equality continue to gain traction across the country and our president’s scandals have dominated the news cycle for as long as he’s occupied the public spotlight.

With the midterm elections coming this November, Democrats are hopeful and ready to win big.

But if the Democratic Party is waiting for one final election to have America wake up and start changing the nation, they may have to wait quite a bit longer. At the surface, Democrats have never been stronger; every election across the country is a referendum for each voter on their satisfaction for President Trump, who can’t seem to keep pace with his predecessors’ popularity during their second year in office.

But once you look deeper, the political map changes in the exact opposite direction.

The grave reality of the situation for liberals nationwide is that Democrats control only 32 of all 99 State Legislatures across the country, while Republicans control more than double that, at 67 total chambers.

There are currently only 16 Democratic governors, which pales in comparison to the 33 governorships held by Republicans.

In effect, the Democratic Party has been completely routed at the state and local levels, and no nationwide push for Senate and House seats will ever change policy being written and overseen in the state capitals.

This slow red wave across the United States was only ever actively fought against by the Democratic party back in 2005, when former Vermont Governor Howard Dean took up the position of Democratic National Committee chair and instituted his 50 State Strategy.

This playbook included taking every single election Democrats were contesting seriously; this meant running candidates toward the center and even political right in order to win in states dominated by the Republican Party for decades.

This strategy was combated by many within the party as diverting essential funds away from more winnable elections in more reliably Democratic states and was challenged and eventually done away with by the time Dean left his position in 2009.

But when comparing the successes experienced under his party leadership in specifically Republican-heavy states between 2005 and 2009 and then the following period of time from 2009 to 2013 after he retired, researchers found major changes.

Under Dean, Democrats saw a “net gain of 39 seats” in reliably red states, as compared to the net loss of 249 seats after the 50 State Strategy was abandoned.

Even further, researchers reported that “in 15 of the 20 states, the Democratic nominee saw an increase in vote share between 2004 and 2008. In three other states, the vote share remained constant. It dropped in only two states.” Meanwhile, between 2009 and 2013, only two states reported a higher support for the Democratic nominee, according to governing.com.

While discussing the Florida special election back in 2017 in a Democrat-heavy district won by Republican Bobby Olszewski, Scott Maxwell of the Orlando Sentinel saw the Democratic Party abandon the little-known Democratic challenger and wrote, “This, my friends, is why Democrats are chronic losers in this state … because they don’t compete.”

Even further, abandoning the 50 State Strategy encourages candidates in heavily Democratic or safely liberal sections of the country to represent that national party as a whole, leading right back around into a further abandonment of rural and more conservative voters.

Arguments made against appealing to that more conservative voting bloc to maintain party purity are blown out of the water when considering that even if Hillary Clinton had enjoyed the same support among the traditionally Democrat-heavy AfricanAmerican community as President Barack Obama had in 2008 and 2012, she would have still lost in 2016.

Elections are not just about rallying support among your own party; you have to win the middle voters, and those across the aisle, too. If Democrats continue to forget this and ignore most of the country, then they can’t be surprised if the rest of the country just ignores them right back.

Think Tank tutors prep students for success with their peers while also learning the material,” Crutcher said. “Something I enjoy doing is giving them practice problems to reinforce the material.”

Ndekela Sakala, a public health student, is a graduate teaching assistant and this semester has been teaching supplemental math as well as giving oneon-one office hours with students who are in the Schedule for Success program.

“I love working with my students, especially with the ones who don’t like math,” Sakala said. “Math is my favorite subject so I like helping students feel more confident about their academic abilities in general.”

Think Tank gives a sense of community to its staff and everyone is always extremely supportive, according to Crutcher, whether it’s her supervisors who always answer her texts or other employees helping cover shifts.

“It has been a really positive experience working for Think Tank,” Crutcher said.

week, there is tutoring for subjects such as math, science and writing, as well as business classes and workshops.

“To help the students get ready for finals week, I am having them reflect back on the whole semester and remember the important concepts from each of the units,” Crutcher said.

Sakala is leading a math study session for Math 109C during finals week and “wants to help students go through their study guide and see what questions they need help answering.”

Whether studying for finals or improving a borderline grade, Think Tank offers services to guarantee a student’s success. Sakala believes that most students forget about these tutoring opportunities during this stressful week and wants this to be a reminder to all students that there are many ways to get studying help.

“If it weren’t for Think Tank, I wouldn’t have succeeded in some of my classes,” Jones said. “It’s really hard to keep up sometimes.”

OPEN 6AM - 2AM B

Filled with exams and papers due, finals week can mean stress and spending an abundance of time studying on campus. The University of Arizona offers students services to help them get through this time of year, one of which is Think Tank tutoring.

Think Tank is university-funded and offers a variety of free services to students. Made up of around 200 students, graduate assistants and professionals in their fields, they tutor students in all subjects and offer writing workshops and peer collaborations.

“I love that Think Tank is run by students helping other students,” said Kaci Koch, a junior majoring in nutritional science and public health who uses Think Tank’s services. “It’s important that we can be helped by our peers and get that feedback on an essay.”

Koch is double majoring and emphasized how much the tutoring

services have helped her in the past.

Raeven Jones, a junior majoring in film and television, is using Think Tank’s tutoring services for her accounting class and “loves that there are always people ready to help, regardless of how many students show up.”

“The tutors don’t rush through the material and they take the time to answer all of your questions,” Jones said.

Think Tank is offered at a variety of accessible locations around campus, including Bear Down Gym, Park Student Union and the Studnet Recreational Center. For numerous hours during the week, students can schedule appointments or attend one of the many drop-in sessions.

Madison Crutcher, a junior majoring in public health, is a supplemental instruction leader for Think Tank. She holds three one-hour sessions weekly for CHEM 151, she helps students understand difficult topics discussed in class.

ARTS & LIFE | FINALS PREPARATION

Taking on finals week

BY THERESA COTTON @DailyWildcat

Offering University of Arizona students the opportunity to pet dogs, get tutored, de-stress and eat free pancakes, Finals Survival Week kicks off another semester of student engagement.

Finals Survival Week is an interdisciplinary committee designed to help de-stress, re-focus and re-energize students during the weeks of April 28 through May 10 by collaborating with groups like Counseling and Psych Services (CAPS), Think Tank and Arizona Meditation Research Interest Group (AMRIG).

The committee provides educational and study resources, as well as opportunities for improved health and wellness in students.

Throughout the week, there are free events, online resources and discounted Unions specials campuswide to support students during the stressful time.

“Good mental health is multifaceted. UA seniors gave some tips of what they do to help contribute to their positive mental health: being outside talking to a friend or counselor, meditate, getting involved, getting more sleep, help others, have goals, perspective, traveling, take naps, work out, draw, read, sing, etc,” said Carrie Johnson, a health educator at the UA and the social media coordinator for UA Campus Health.

Stress is a natural part of life, and healthy habits like getting enough sleep, eating right, exercising, being social and doing things you enjoy can help you better cope with stress, according to Johnson.

“The end of the year and finals are significantly stressful times for students, engaging in activities that promote health and wellness can help students de-stress, re-focus and re-energize,” Johnson said.

Johnson suggested the best way to have good mental health is to exercise and socialize. She said she always feels better after taking a workout class or going for a run or walk with a friend.

Staying healthy physically with exercise and having good eating

habits also helps students cope better with stress and be more mentally aware, according to Johnson.

“It can be difficult this time of year, but getting enough sleep, eight hours, is also important,” said Heather Kleeman, a Finals Survival Week committee member. “Finals Survival Week is a resource to assist students in de-stressing with free activities before and during finals week.”

Stressbusters is a national outreach program that trains and teaches volunteers to be resource advisors and providers of events that connect thousands of students all over campus. This program is successful in its goal of reducing stress in students and relieving anxiety and has showed reports of decreases in stress and muscle tension associated with overwhelming feelings.

“Studies have shown that the most productive people tend to take a 15-minute break every 45 minutes.

It’s important to make good decisions with exercise, sleep and eating healthy, which will make you more alert and aware for finals,” Kleeman said.

Programs and services like CAPS and Think Tank contribute to students maintaining their mental health while getting tools they need to be successful in exams.

CAPS offers psychiatric help to students that need assistance and guidance when dealing with personal problems so they can be successful in their education, as well as their mental health.

“One example of a collaboration was with Counseling and Psych Services and the Think Tank, they put on a Tackle Your Test Anxiety workshop. Counseling and Psych Services is here for students during finals and throughout the year,” Johnson said.

Think Tank is another studentsupported program that offers tutoring in all subjects and a way to help students develop more effective study habits and skills.

Finals Survival Week offers students several opportunities to de-stress throughout finals week.

Members encourage students to take part in these activities to help deal with any obstacles that might come their way as the semester comes to a close.

SPORTS | SOFTBALL

Carranco comes back from concussion

BY NOAH AUCLAIR @NoahAuclairUA

Softball isn’t considered a contact sport, but injuries can, and do, happen all the time. One of the most dangerous causes of injury is wild pitches. In a sport where pitches can reach highway speeds, an errant throw can result in some serious damage.

Reyna Carranco knows this all too well.

In a series in late March against the No.1 Washington Huskies, the second baseman entered the batter’s box. She had already been up to the plate three times before, but Washington pitcher Taran Alvelo was dealing, and Carranco, who was batting .386 on the season, had only a strikeout to show.

One of the pitches from Alvelo, a 70-mile-per-hour rise-ball that rose a little too much, struck Carranco in the face.

“I really didn’t feel much pain; I just felt more pressure toward my nose,” Carranco said. “I was just scared because I saw blood coming out and I didn’t know where it was coming from, and I couldn’t really breathe.”

Carranco suffered a concussion, a facial fracture just below her right eye and a broken nose that required surgery.

The injury could have, and most likely would have, been much worse if it hadn’t been for the mask on Carranco’s helmet, a mask that is required for batters at every level of the sport. The ball became wedged between the mask and brim of her helmet, saving her from more

potential damage.

At the time of the incident, Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said he didn’t have a timetable for a potential return but he thought Carranco’s biggest hurdle would be the concussion.

“The concussion is the one thing that is holding her back,” he said. “I think once she gets cleared from the concussion, then she can start doing some stuff.”

Sure enough, just two weeks after, Carranco was back in the starting lineup as the UA took on the then-No. 5 Oregon Ducks. She went one for four with a run scored.

Candrea also said something Carranco would have to get over was the fear of stepping into the batter’s box and watching fast pitches coming at her.

“I think my first few at bats at Oregon I was a little hesitant because it was my first time back,” Carranco said. “But I think after that I settled in; I just had to get back into it.”

One other adjustment Carranco had to deal with has been the addition of a mask in the outfield, a mask she plans to shed soon but that she said she's adapted to.

“I think I’ve gotten used to it,” she said. “I just feel more protected with it now, so it’s just a protection thing more than anything.”

When asked if she thought this would hinder what has otherwise been a great season for her, Carranco kept it simple: “I think it’s just a little block in the road,” she said with a smile.

AMY BAILEY | THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA'S SECOND BASEMAN REYNA Carranco keeps her eye on the incoming pitch during a game against Oregon State game at Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium on Friday, April 27. Carranco is back in the lineup after she got a concussion from being hit in the face by a pitch earlier this season.

APPA AWARD FROM PAGE 6

Between Students for Sustainability and the Green Team, students were able to pull 1.5 tons of compostable material from events such as athletic games, the Tucson Festival of Books, Spring Fling and Admitted Student Day. Another event, “Dodge the Dumpster,” is put on by the Office of Sustainability and the Green Team. Burris said the event is a push to collect and resell reusable items, such as mini fridges, microwaves, bedding and anything that is coming out of dorms that could be resold.

“The majority is student-run where it is all collected, sorted, sold and the money goes back to support this program,” Burris said.

Challenges to overcome, goals for the future With constant challenges, Facilities Management and student-run groups have set goals they would like to meet. Part of meeting those goals involves funding.

“We have a 10-year plan in place,” Kopach said. “We work with senior administration, our financial officer, [the] president of the university and state legislators, and they have allocated $200 million to start addressing those needs.”

SOFIA MORAGA | THE DAILY WILDCAT

ACCORDING TO CELESTE COLMENARES, Greening the Game project manager, contamination is the biggest issue in recycling. She doesn't think students know what is and isn't recyclable.

However, Colmenares said there is a gap in student education about what is recyclable.

“My biggest concern is that I feel like people don’t know how to recycle or even what bins are used to recycle,” Colmenares said. “Contamination is the biggest issue. People throw food into recycling, and they also throw recyclable stuff in the trash.”

Burris echoed those concerns.

“There’s an old saying: One bad apple can ruin a bunch,” she said. “The same thing can happen with recycling.”

Recently, Burris and Facilities Management received a grant from the Coca-Cola Corporation. One of the things the grant gave the UA was over 200 new, blue “Keep America Beautiful” recycling bins. The bins will be placed in classrooms and hallways within the next few weeks.

“It will help with … being able to pair trash and recycling together,” Burris said. “People are more likely to make the right decision to put trash where trash belongs and recycling where recycling belongs.”

The university is also committed to enhancing classrooms and has received $2 million in funding to create a new collaborative learning environment, which includes waste and recycling efforts within the classroom.

According to Kopach, Facilities Management will continue to seek funding and opportunities for students to get involved in green practices on campus.

“We are here for the students and [wish] that their experience is excellent,” Kopach said, whether it is in the classroom, outside or at games.

ARTS & LIFE | UA FASHION WEEK

Wildcats take over the catwalk

BY LEIA LINN @DailyWildcat

Bright purple lights, a glimmering swimming pool and a tangerine sunset overlooking the Santa Catalina Mountains set the scene for the second annual University of Arizona Fashion Show, showcasing the trendiest new looks for the Tucson community.

Collections from seven different designers were presented on the Luna rooftop April 28 as part of UA Fashion Week, hosted by TREND Fashion Club. The club was created through the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing to provide students in any major experience in the fashion industry. The club holds a weekly meeting, as well as fundraising events each year to prepare for fashion week.

“We want to show what we do with this side of the school and show how creative we are and what we can put on as a club,” club member Sarah Garcia said.

The week consisted of meetings with designers and models, fittings, a designer meet and greet and of course the main event, a rooftop runway show.

“For a whole week, we’ve tried to influence students and the whole Tucson community more about fashion, which lacks at this school,” said Jenna DeMaio, director and founder of UA Fashion Week.

Seven designers, 60 models and 50 hairand-makeup artists were needed for the event, as well as set design artists, a master of ceremonies and a disk jockey.

“Our event, the runway show, was the major event,” DeMaio said, “The theme was ‘expect the unexpected’ and was a huge, crucial part to the show because people did not expect some of the things they saw.”

One of the models who walked the runway was UA student Michael Gil. “I am super excited to be doing something new and to see how the whole show and the whole industry works,” Gil said. “I’ve done various shoots in the past, but this is my first time doing an actual runway.”

Gil wore collections from Always Live Care Free and Last Ones Left Apparel in the show.

Both lines are street-style inspired and include graphic tees, hoodies and jean jackets.

Jordan Sebastian, designer of Last Ones Left Apparel, came from Denver, Colorado to participate in the show. His inspiration for the brand is 90s-style clothing.

Another street-style designer, Quinlan Wilhite from Qmulative, showcased his latest collection in the show.

“My brand is a lifestyle brand rooted in the automotive, skateboarding, music and art scenes,” Wilhite said.

The line included Wilhite’s signature Arizona pocket tee, with an Arizona-shaped pocket and a variety of desert-inspired patterns.

SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT

MIKA LEGASPI, IN CHARGE of model relations, runs through the show with two models before the UA Fashion Week runway show at the Sol y Luna apartments rooftop pool Saturday, April 28.

Wilhite started out sewing clothes with his grandma to express himself and has since been featured in many shows, including Phoenix Fashion Week.

“It was cool to have something from my imagination to hold at the end of the day,” Wilhite said.

Like Wilhite, DaMaio wanted to bring fashion to the UA because of her “passion for fashion.”

“Fashion is my getaway; it helps me escape all the issues going on in life,” DeMaio said.

Other TREND members, like next year’s social media manager and model Hannah Rapp, share a love for fashion as well.

“My whole life I’ve had a passion for fashion.

It’s made me who I am today, and it’s given me so much confidence,” Rapp said. “I stick out like a sore thumb amidst all the Lululemon on campus because I’m in an outfit that inspires me to get up in the morning.”

Dorota Zglobicka, designer of Theo Doro, is no stranger to standing out. Her line has whimsical and playful silhouettes dressed in bright colors. At the show, she premiered her children’s clothing line.

According to Zglobicka, the idea behind this line was to have matching outfits for mothers and daughters, as well as for siblings.

“I create whimsical clothing for modern people. I started doing women’s clothes, but since it’s so whimsical and flowy, kids liked it too, or mothers liked it for their kids," Zglobicka said.

Zglobicka is from Russia and has been designing clothes since she arrived in America.

Her brand aims to bring back comfortable, elegant style to a modern woman’s life.

“This is a tough world out there. You need to find your own voice, and if you have passion for this, go for it. I think this is the toughest thing: to find uniqueness,” Zglobicka said.

Zglobicka's fairy-inspired line can be found at her store in Vail, Arizona. In addition to casual clothing, Zglobicka creates cocktail dresses, evening gowns and wedding dresses, according to her website. All of her items are one-of-a-kind.

“Find the hole that is missing out there in the market and fill it,” Zglobicka said.

Elizabeth Villasenor, another designer at the show, presented her denim collection.

She creates handmade jackets. Her street style jackets were influenced by McQueen.

“One of his collections got me inspired.

It was spring 2016, and it was all denim with embroidery and embellishments,” Villasenor said.

Her line, Chaos in Denim, is made sustainably by using vintage jackets and redesigning them to fit a more modern style.

“If I start on one jacket and like it, the collection follows,” Villasenor said.

Villasenor graduated from the UA. She buys her materials from consignment stores and sells her clothes locally.

Audience member Paige Gniffke said the jackets from Chaos in Denim were her favorites.

“I loved the denim jackets. I loved the different designs and some of the hand-written and hand-painted stuff,” Gniffke said.

The other two lines that appeared at the show were Outcharmed, a jewelry line by Samara Rosenthal, and Bourgeoisie Lux, a luxury swim and street clothes line by Jay Russell and Micah Francois.

One special guest of the evening was Tommy Lynn Calhoun, also known as Miss Arizona 2017. She is no stranger to the world of glam.

“Everywhere we go, we are expected to look good, so this definitely relates to the pageant world,” Calhoun said.

Calhoun was invited to attend the event by TREND and said she was really excited to see what the students could do with the show.

Another star at the event was model Jessie West, who was supporting friends working the show. He also wanted to see the new trends coming out of Tucson.

“People need to see the new looks, the new trends and the new designers that are coming out,” West said.

TREND Fashion Club has created a website to view photos from the show, as well as upcoming information. There are also links to each designer’s website so visitors can check out their brands and styles.

“Fashion is always evolving and moving, and it’s important to see different trends and how people express themselves through fashion,” West said.

BRINGING THE UNIVERSE TO YOUR SCREEN The Active Galactic Videos team makes videos to help people visualize the universe

BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917

Six students are running around on the University of Arizona football stadium field with a camera, sound equipment and some frisbees. These students are part of the Active Galactic Videos (AGV) team, and they are turning the stadium into a scale model of the universe.

Alejandro Olmedo, a film and television junior, weaves through the stands, trying to find the perfect shot of the entire field. Down on the field, Aidan Gibbs, a senior studying astronomy and physics, carefully measures out the distances between a couple frisbees that had been spray painted to look like galaxies.

The filming was for a YouTube video, COURTESY AGV TEAM one of many populating the Active A MEMBER OF THE AGV team during the shoot of “Our Galaxy as a Frisbee — Size of the Visible Universe,” a Galactic Videos channel on YouTube, video made by the group. titled “Our Galaxy as a Frisbee — Size of the Visible Universe.” It was shot back of other sorts, including those Impey received a grant to continue the project, in December and released early this mentioned. Students collaborate on all the more students were brought on and the semester on the channel, which now has videos and bring their backgrounds and team took on the AGV name. over 6,000 subscribers. skills to each project in order to produce “As the project grew and the team grew, AGV is a student group based at the the “most high-quality content possible.” it became necessary to have different UA Steward Observatory that creates While the AGV team and the YouTube talents in the mix,” Impey said. “Rather astronomy videos for community channel has grown since its humble than having a couple astronomy and education. The group is run by Chris Impey, a distinguished professor of astronomy and the associate dean of the UA College of Science, and managed

by Matthew Wenger, an educational program manager at Steward Observatory.

The whole project began several years back when Wenger was hired at Steward Observatory to assist Impey with a new astronomy course.

“I started working for [Impey] and the department with the goal of developing these massive, open, online courses,” Wenger said. “We had another student, Carmen, who was working with us, and beginnings, it’s not yet reached the realm physics majors doing everything, we one of the things we had talked about of popular video education channels were able to recruit people who are doing was coming up with supplementary like SciShow or TED. Despite smaller videographers; we’ve had music majors to instructional videos to go along with numbers, however, the AGV team has help us with sound; we have journalism the course, and the idea was to start a created videos over the years that have students [and] English majors.”

about the H-R diagram.

“I got to explore something that I like to do,” said Calahan, the writer and singer of the H-R diagram song, about the graphical tool that astronomers use to classify stars.

“I don’t really know any other context where I’d be able to write science music videos. Everyone was really supportive and we got to jump around Steward a lot and be really silly.”

“The H-R Diagram Song” was released back in January of 2016. With over 17,500 views since it was first published, it is one of AGV’s most frequented videos and one that first started to build interest in the channel.

The team had the opportunity to work with popular British YouTuber Tom Scott, collaborating with him by creating a video about the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab here at the UA. The lab creates mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope being built in Chile, and the video, hosted

by Calahan and Melissa Thomas, a senior studying astronomy, geology and physics, delves into the mirror-making process and history.

The video has been viewed over 294,000 times, and its original release directed a wave of traffic to the AGV channel back on Jan. 1. The boost inspired the AGV team to continue creating more high-quality educational content to satisfy and grow their new audience.

The goal of AGV is to provide the students in it an opportunity to develop their professional and collaborative skills. “[AGV] gives us an opportunity to work on stuff we wouldn’t normally work on,” Gibbs said. “In astronomy we like to do outreach, but for most of us, that’s usually working the telescope or being a TA, but this is definitely different; a lot of places don’t have this opportunity.”

Those interested in learning a little more about astronomy from some passionate students can check out the AGV YouTube channel. The team uploads about every two weeks and their video backlog has more than 60 videos on a range of topics, so there’s always something new to learn.

MCQUILLIN WRITES HER OWN STORY Softball pitcher Taylor McQuillin was born with a condition that caused blindness in her left eye, but she hasn’t let it define her on or off the field

BY MAX COHEN @MaxCohen_DW

T

aylor McQuillin is not only the Arizona Wildcat’s best softball pitcher, but her numbers show she ranks as one of the best pitchers in the country. What opposing batters might not know is that she’s also blind in one eye and deaf in one ear — but don’t call it a disability.

McQuillin was born with Duane syndrome.

Duane syndrome is a birth defect that limits the movement of her left eye and ear. Because of this, McQuillin’s early childhood was full of surgery and operations to try to fix her eye and ear.

“I had five (eye) surgeries from the time when I was born to age 5. I had three surgeries on my ear drums, and I got my tonsils and adenoids taken out when I was 6,” McQuillin said. “But within that time, I couldn’t see completely out of my left eye as I could in the right eye. So, as I got older, I pretty much had to learn how to do everything being able to see out of one eye.”

McQuillin’s first two surgeries went wrong, and made her eyesight worse.

“I got a staph infection in the hospital, and then

the other three after that were to try to repair what had gone wrong,” McQuillin said. “It just never really got any better, so we left it for what it was.”

However, McQuillin doesn’t see herself as disabled, even though some people may choose to label her as such. That’s because she’s never known anything else, so seeing out of only one eye is normal to her. While growing up, McQuillin said she never had any trouble socially because of her eye.

“I had friends that I like to say were pretty great to me. But people didn’t really know what it was, so they would just ask,” McQuillin said. “Most of the questions I would get were like, ‘Oh, like, your eye moves in a different direction, and can I ask why?’

People were very nice about it. Nobody ever really picked on me for it.”

Being only able to see out of one eye was a concern for her parents when McQuillin wanted to start playing sports .

“My parents were really apprehensive to put me into sports and

kind of anything that had to do with hand-eye coordination, and stuff like that, because they really didn’t know how I’d react with it,” McQuillin said.

The fears of her parents were never shared by McQuillin, who said she was never scared by her lack of sight. That fearless philosophy and determination helped her parents realize that sports were something McQuillin truly wanted to pursue.

“I did swimming, soccer, taekwondo, dance, softball. They kind of threw me out there at anything and everything just to kind of see what I liked — to see if I could actually do it,” McQuillin said. “I think that their self-doubt kind of went away after they realized, ‘our five, six-year-old daughter isn’t scared to go out and do this stuff, so we can’t be scared for her.’”

Now, as a junior softball player at one of the most prestigious programs in the country, McQuillin has a few obstacles that she needs to overcome, primarily her depth perception.

“Depth perception is a little weird. And I know that’s weird because I’m a pitcher and I’m the

closest person to the ball besides the catcher at release,” McQuillin said. “You kind of have to shift a little bit.”

McQuillin said she can’t see anything on the left side of the field when she’s in the circle. But since she’s been dealing with it since she started playing, the junior has figured how to make the proper adjustment.

“Anything hit to the second baseman, I have to turn my entire body to see or anything coming in from the right side of the field,” McQuillin said.

The biggest thing for McQuillin is that she wants her story to be a point of inspiration to others who were born with a defect or a disability.

“It’s your type of normal, so you gotta go out there and live. But I don’t want anybody to feel like they have to be afraid to go out and try something new, or go out and play sports because it’s different for them,” McQuillin said. “There are so many stories of people who have it a lot worse than me.”

McQuillin said she gets inspired by others who deal with disability struggles at a young age and hopes that people will not let it define them.

“I think you should go out there and embrace it — use it as part of who you are. Get your story out there. Create your book of life,” McQuillin said. “Don’t be afraid to go out there and do anything that you want to do. If you set your mind to it, you can do it.”
