McGuire competition victors win $31,300 prize Team Specteros, winners of the annual McGuire New Venture Competition, won four awards and $31,300 in combined winnings for their project focused on environmental issues BY PHIL BRAMWELL @PhilBramwellMMA
After a rigorous contest of minds, Team Specteros emerged victorious in the UA’s annual McGuire Entrepreneurship Program New Venture Competition on Friday, April 28, winning three other awards in addition to the grand prize. Competing within an 18team field, the team took home a total of $31,300 in prize money. Many competitors hail from the Eller College of Management and currently study in a range of business fields, but most teams also included members studying from a variety of non-Eller schools. Team Specteros consisted of Cory Owan, an electrical and computer engineering junior and Edward LaVilla, an optical sciences graduate student, with Jonathan Besquin and John-Michael Stilb, marketing and entrepreneurship juniors rounding out the team with Eller expertise. “This competition was a springboard,” LaVilla said. “Hopefully, the college can look back and say that Eller did right by these guys. Hopefully, we can continue to carry the name.” The team’s concept is designed to focus on environmental issues. “We want to push indoor farming as the new standard in farming,” LaVilla said. Entering the competition, Besquin said Specteros was nervous, but that they knew they had to control their emotions; Specteros’ poise under pressure would allow them to purchase the resources needed to bring their company to the next level, aiming to
never get complacent. “We have been bootstrapping, pulling things apart and gluing things together we should not be,” LaVilla said. Specteros never forgot about their colleagues competing to earn the same prize. “Our classmates were a real motivation. Anything less than top tier was going to result in a loss,” LaVilla said. Each member wanted to have teammates that would complement each other, compensating for flaws and drawing out strengths. During difficult moments, when supporting each other was not enough, the team was inspired by the work ethics of their colleagues and professors and took measures to assess themselves critically. “Being immersed in the culture keeps us energized. We are a product of the environment,” Owan said. On multiple occasions, Specteros’ expected performance of their product did not meet standards, however they don’t consider failure a bad thing. “Failure is a data point,” Owan said. Specteros said they worked hard, while acknowledging how the challenges unique to each teammate brought the best out of one another. “I have a bit of a temperament,” LaVilla confided. The team encouraged Stilb to focus on details. “I am a big-picture guy. The guys keep me down-to-earth,” Stilb said. For Stilb, it is a picture that began to take form during his sophomore

Interim VP of health sciences looks at future BY STEPHANIE INNES ARIZONA DAILY STAR (TNS)
Her brand may not be crisis, but the new head of the University of Arizona’s two medical schools is developing a track record for taking the helm during turmoil. Dr. Leigh Neumayer became interim vice president of health sciences—one of the university’s most powerful and high-profile positions—on Jan. 1. The job includes overseeing both of the UA’s medical schools, as well as the separate colleges of pharmacy, nursing and public health. The total health sciences yearly budget is $595 million per year. A breast cancer researcher and surgeon, Neumayer came to the UA in a leadership role in 2014, taking over as head of the surgery department. Former surgery department head and renowned transplant surgeon Dr. Rainer Gruessner was in a legal fight with the university to get his job back. Morale was low in the department, where many surgeons were recruited by Gruessner, and the transplant program was faltering. Neumayer is credited with smoothing the waters—effectively rebuilding the department and restoring critical transplant services. Among the tasks on her mind now is overseeing the largest peer-reviewed National Institutes of Health grant in UA history.
The Arizona Daily Star sat down recently with Neumayer. Here are excerpts from the interview: The UA will soon have a new president, Dr. Robert C. “Bobby” Robbins, former CEO of Texas Medical Center. Will having a physician as president be a boost to health sciences? In any leader I actually think it’s not the letters behind their name, but the skill set that they bring. Full disclosure: I was a medical student at Baylor College of Medicine, which is in the Texas Medical Center—30 some years ago. Texas Medical Center is about a one-squaremile piece of land that has two medical schools, about seven nursing schools, every other ancillary type of school. It’s got MD Anderson, Texas Institute of Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR Memorial Hermann), which people in Tucson will know because it’s where Gabby Giffords went. There’s St. Luke’s; Baylor just built their own hospital. It’s just this most amazing place. (Robbins’) vision for that place was quite phenomenal—bring all these big entities together. Frankly, all those hospitals are in direct competition with each other—for patients, for doctors, things like that. Bobby was able to present a compelling vision of what they could become beyond what they already were. To me, that’s what the UA will benefit from, that skill set.

Is there another model nationally like the UA-Banner one? Not a successful one. We have that opportunity. What is the status of UA’s Phoenix medical school’s accreditation process? (The school opened in 2007). There is a process you have to go through in order to get full accreditation from the LCME
Are you optimistic of full accreditation in 2018? Yes. Do you see yourself as someone who steps into leadership roles amid controversy? I hadn’t really thought of myself in that role. I think I do have a skill set of building relationships and building trust. And maybe that comes from my years of being a doctor. You have to gain trust, especially in breast cancer or the trauma bay.

What are your prime concerns at the UA moving forward? You have to understand, I am an eternal optimist. So I see any problem as a true opportunity to fix it, build it, change it. So we still have lots of opportunities with Banner. (The UA has an academic affiliation with Phoenixbased not-for-profit Banner Health, which also owns Tucson’s only academic medical center, Banner-University Medical Center Tucson.) What we’re going to be able to do here will be a template for the entire country. That’s our hope at least. Most of the leadership gets asked frequently about it as they are out nationally, as all of us are.
(Liaison Committee on Medical Education). We received the report and there were no surprises in it. We have assurances that we will be on the LCME’s June agenda. There are four possible outcomes. Number one is they’ll push us to full accreditation with no citations. We’d find out in late summer. Do you know how many times any medical school has got full accreditation with zero citations? Never that I know of. I don’t think we’re going to get that outcome. On the other end, they could take us back down to preliminary status and make us stop admitting students, which I also think is not happening. That would be highly unlikely. The one we’re cautiously optimistic we’ll get is move to full accreditation with a few areas that are minor non-compliance or are in need or monitoring.

Moblie MediCats prioritize homeless health The Mobile MediCats have visited Santa Rita Park several times to feed and learn about the homeless and the health issues they face to better offer health services BY DAVID PUJOL @DeathlyDavid
Santa Rita Park is a frequent destination for the homeless population. On Saturday morning, the Mobile MediCats set out to the park with bagels and coffee in hand in order to get a better understanding of the unserved population. Dozens of homeless individuals at the park took advantage of the opportunity to receive sustenance and knowledge. “What our goal is, is to help the Tucson homeless community,” said Lizzy Ferrara, a public health junior. The group has visited the park several times, serving breakfast to the homeless and asking questions about their health. Ferrara, vice president of marketing for the Mobile MediCats, and other Medicat members handed out fruit, water, coffee and bagels with cream cheese. The medical-oriented club is run by undergraduate students and overseen by Dequenesh Community Health, a nonprofit with a similar approach of mobile health clinics to help cater to the needs of the unserved medical population. Sai Shah, a molecular & cellular biology junior and one of the co-founders of the Mobile MediCats, said the MediCats are close to having their own mobile unit up and running. “I think helping people has always been the ultimate end game—making the best impact that we can make—but through the mobile clinic, we can do that,” Shah said. “It’s not easy, but it’ll be worth it.” Pima County accounts for 15 percent of the state population but 16 percent of the homeless population in Arizona, according to a 2016 report from the Department of Economic Security. While the county doesn’t account for the largest homeless population in Arizona, it does have the densest population of homeless individuals in the state. However, the homeless population has been decreasing.

THE MOBILE MEDICATS WHO visited Santa Rita Park on Saturday morning. The MediCats operate a student-run mobile medical center to assist and inform the homeless on matters of health with services that may not otherwise be available to them.
Andrew Good, a physiology senior and other co-founder of Mobile Medicats, made a questionnaire as a part of his thesis, in which he asks homeless individuals an array of questions pertaining to their health and their access to health insurance. The questionnaire collects information, such as their access to health care, when they last saw a doctor, whether they’d like to see one more often, transportation and medical questions pertaining to STIs, diabetes, cancer, depression, anxiety and more. “We’ve come a long way,” Good said. “It’s been a bit of a slow process, but in the meantime, we’ve done what we can by firstly understanding the demographic of the homeless population.”
Ferrara said the Medicats were also finding a practitioner who could ride along in the exam room and see to the needs of the homeless who might not have access to health care. One professional arrived with the Medicats to spread awareness of diabetes among the homeless. Rosa Vogel, diabetes program coordinator at Banner, educated people the importance of knowing their status regarding the complicated disease. “Nine out of 10 people [with diabetes] don’t even know they have prediabetes, and if that’s the case, then this is an epidemic waiting to explode,” Vogel said. “Just think about the homeless people who are here and how many of them have
diabetes or prediabetes and they don’t even know it.” Vogel said diabetes doesn’t hurt, so people may not pay immediate attention to it. Thus, she helps empower people to learn their status and learn how to care for themselves. Banner also offers free education and classes cornering what people need to know about diabetes from learning what how to cook while living with diabetes to learning what people with the disease should be buying from the grocery store. Ferrara said she and the other members are interested in not only helping the homeless with medical issues but any problems they can address. “There are a lot of safety issues as well,” she said. “So we try to figure out what
supplies we can bring them next semester when it starts to get a little colder—what kind of drives can we do, clothing, blankets. We are just trying to figure out how best we can help them.” The MediCats are taking steps in that direction by building a relationship and seeing the humanity in the homeless population. “The aim of the group is to give hope back, because yes they’re homeless but I think they feel very neglected—and they are very neglected—and I guess that’s the need we’re trying to fill,” said Good, who is graduating this semester. “Once I got to know this demographic and these people, it made me think, ‘why wouldn’t we do so much more and do as much as we could to help all the good people out here?’”

POLICE BEAT BEST OF POLICE BEAT How not to evade arrest The University of Arizona Police Department was called to ManzanitaMohave Residence Hall around 9 a.m. on Jan. 29 to check on a male sleeping in the fifth-floor hallway. An officer found the male with his pants partially down, exposing his underwear, and wet, as if he had urinated himself. Police woke the male and asked why he was sleeping on the floor. He claimed he went out the night before and that his friend lived in the hall and had his belongings and identified himself to officers. UAPD advised that the male had an outstanding warrant. Officers knocked on the friend’s door, and when a male student answered, officers asked if he knew the male. He stated “no” and immediately closed the door. They knocked on the door again and the resident handed police a backpack and some articles of clothing, which belonged to the male. When the officer said they were going to arrest him, the male attempted to run away and slipped and fell on his own. Officers restrained him and placed him in handcuffs. “I was just trying to run, not to get into any more trouble,” he said. Police read the male his Miranda Rights and questioned him about a pipe they found in his backpack. “It’s not even my pipe,” he responded. “I don’t use pipes, I roll blunts.” The male was arrested and transported to Pima County Jail. Not sure where the assault happened A UA officer responded to the emergency department at St. Mary’s Hospital at 6 p.m. on Jan. 28 in reference to a report of an incident that potentially occurred on campus. When the officer arrived, a nurse advised UAPD the male victim claimed he was assaulted at the Student Union Memorial Center and was not forthcoming with information. He may have been under the influence of prescription drugs, added hospital staff. Three days prior, the male said he encountered two men fighting on a staircase around 4 p.m. in the SUMC. When he went to diffuse the situation, one of the males punched him in the chest. Police asked to see the injury, and when the male lifted his shirt, there was no visible injury to his chest. The male told the officer he did not want to speak about it anymore because he said he had post-traumatic stress disorder from a previous incident where he was shot with an AK-47. A nurse later advised UAPD the male was a chronic pain medication user and likely made up the incident in order to obtain pain medication.

TED Talks value awe-inspiring over education BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
T
he failures of TED’s approach to merging education and entertainment sacrifices the former for the latter. Never before have the worlds of entertainment and education been so closely intertwined than today. In the years following the birth of the internet, an explosion of creative energy mixed with an enthusiastic desire to spread knowledge to the corners of the world, leaving no demographic or audience untouched. In this shift, no organization has been surpassed in optimism and output than TED Talks, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing speakers on all assortments of topics, from leadership (Simon Sinek’s talk “How Great Leaders Inspire Action”) to flying robots (Vijay Kumar’s lecture “Robots that Fly… and Cooperate”). Over the hordes of inspirational speakers and excited, popular, science experts, one becomes overwhelmed with a feeling of sameness in the approach, regardless of the subject. Rather than serving as a collegial and open-ended conference of thinkers and revolutionaries coming together to analyze and disseminate the greatest discoveries and developments of the day with the interests of education at the forefront, it seems the entertainment angle has quickly grabbed the focus away. No longer are potential changes in visual interfaces interesting; They are “paradigm shifting,” and TED Talks are not reviewed by the audience on the principles of objectivity or accuracy; They are instead voted into categories such as “jaw-dropping” or “beautiful.”
STARTWITHWHY CC BYSA 3.0
SIMON SINEK SPEAKING AT TEDx Maastricht in the Netherlands.
The problem with TED Talks is not that science and education are not interesting; it’s that TED’s format of simultaneous learning and entertainment is taken advantage of so easily, rendering each and every one of its lectures questionable. In their own words, “In fact, everything we do—from our conferences to our TED Talks to the projects sparked by the TED Prize, from the global TEDx community to the TED-Ed lesson series—is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?”
The mission of their nonprofit is to spread knowledge. To be entirely fair to them, they accomplish this with flying colors. A brief look at their Youtube channel will reveal a subscriber pool of almost 7 million people and over 2,000 videos up online, with people all around the world contributing and watching. The greatest problem behind this mission of spreading knowledge is that it fails to differentiate education and entertainment. TED Talks from inspirational speakers and self-help experts

border on the comical in their attempts to convince you just how wrong your life is and how easy it is to fix so long as you make the appropriate purchases and read the right books, conveniently written and endorsed by the speaker. Beyond the cynical selfadvertising power the platform offers, a greater tragedy is created: the idea of placebo change. This concept was covered by Benjamin Bratton, a professor from the University of California, San Diego, who used his time on stage during a TED talk to forgo
advertising his recent papers and books in favor of discussing the failures of the TED Talk medium. Citing the viral action behind the Kony 2012 movement, Bratton said, “Okay, so, what happened here? Evangelical surfer bro goes to Africa. He makes campy video explaining genocide to the cast of Glee. The world finds his epiphany to be shallow to the point of self-delusion. The complex geopolitics of central Africa are left undisturbed. Kony’s still there. The end.” He added, “When inspiration becomes manipulation, inspiration becomes obfuscation. ... You should be as skeptical of placebo politics as you are of placebo medicine.” Bratton states that the most dangerous aspect of this field of “edu-tainment” is that it leans so heavily on the entertainment side that it allows the facts to be trampled in the name of attracting more views and increasing site traffic. Rather than enlightening the world in the style TED has been advocating, all these talks accomplish are momentary and emotional heights that blind and burn out the creative possibilities of their viewers. This distracts from educational potential in the name of “jaw-dropping” and “exhilarating” content meant to “awe” rather than inform. Once the platforms meant to educate have been surrendered to the cause of nihilistic selfindulgence and applauseseeking; it is no longer cynical to see cause for alarm. Rather than denounce the morally righteous and commendable initiative of the TED foundation, it is important to be able to recognize the failures found in its execution, not its planning. So the next time you find yourself being told about the most recent paradigm shift, try to look past the veneer of credibility and truly understand what is being said.

Rooftop Garden Competition names winners The Student Union Memorial Center rooftop will soon feature an edible garden. The designers are an interdisciplinary student team of engineers and agriculturalists BY CHANDLER DONALD @chandlerjdonald
Participants and judges met last Thursday to receive awards for the Student Union Memorial Center (SUMC) Rooftop Garden Competition. After a semester of planning, the winner is Team 3. Team members Brian Caplan, Daniel Gillespie, Robert Melvin, Raul Moraga and Nicholas Tritz went home with $1,000 each in meal plan money along with plans to bring their design to life this summer. Second place went to Team 13, whose members won $500 each in meal plan funds.Team 7 came in third place and won $100 each for their meal plans. “It really came down to capitalizing on the use of the space,” said Jill Lloyd, a judging representative and the assistant director of employee services and student engagement for the UA BookStores. One of the opportunities that the winning team brought to the table was the integration of greenhouses on the SUMC rooftop that schools around UA can use as teaching tools. “Our overall goal is to beautify and educate the campus,” said Tritz, an undergraduate in civil engineering. Team 3 had a unique mix of backgrounds that each team member brought to the table. Caplan is a graduate student studying agriculture and biosystems engineering, Gillespie is an undergraduate studying sustainable plant systems and Moraga is an undergraduate in astronomy and civil engineering. Alongside Tritz, Melvin is also an undergraduate studying civil engineering. “I liked seeing the teams come together as a whole,” said Evan Cione, the judging representative and sales consultant from Shamrock Farms.“Every team had certain stronger players, but the winners were able to come together as a team, not just individuals.” This facet of the competition was one that team three embraced with enthusiasm. “It was cool to get to work with people outside your major,” said Tritz. “I learned a lot about agriculture and plant science and how to apply it all.” In fact, when it came to problem solving in this competition, many of the problems were issues of engineering. One factor that caused many teams to design with caution was the weightbearing capacity of the roof. “It’s been a great exercise in how to create and present a

design to potential investors,” said applied biosciences graduate student Sean McBride of Team 7. Exposure to stakeholders is something that McBride valued in the competition because that kind of experience is rare in a classroom environment. “I hate group work in school, but this was really good and different,” said environmental sciences undergraduate Marcia Slagle of Team 13. The competition was a close call until the end. “The quality of the work that was done by the students far exceeded my expectations,” said Todd Millay, director of the Arizona Student Unions. “Specifically, the depth and expertise in
certain areas were far beyond what I expected.” The crops grown at the several garden sites designed by Team 3 will be available in the Campus Pantry and Pangea late next semester. Several new student positions will soon be available at the SUMC, along with an opportunity to volunteer this summer and help in the construction of the newest permanent addition to the UA campus. Team 3 will now begin the actual planning and construction of their design. Millay said that the other finalists’ inspiration will become a part of the final outcome.
Springtime in Tucson: Cactus blossoms abound BY TONY DAVIS ARIZONA DAILY STAR (TNS)
The dazzling white blooms of saguaros and showy yellow palo verde trees get lots of attention at this time of year—but the often underrated blooms of cholla and
prickly pear cacti are putting on their own spectacular spring show. Blooms range in color from bright red to yellow, pink and peachy hues. Unlike wildflowers, these cacti can bloom abundantly even in years with a shortage of rainfall, and their flowers last
longer than the single day that individual saguaro blooms last. Flowering facts “Most prickly pears and chollas bloom every year,” said John Wiens, nursery horticulturist at the Arizona-Sonora

Inspired by millennial culture, the Last Ones Left designers express their young, creative spirit through their effortlessly stylish fabrics.
Pitaya The show kicked off with a clothing line by Pitaya, a local store on University Boulevard. Originally from Bloomington, Indiana, Pitaya frequently stocks their boutique with the newest trends in women’s clothing. All of their merchandise is made in the United States. Their outfits are a striking display of warmweather streetwear, featuring bright colors and a classic, bohemian vibe. The line also sampled Pitaya’s collection of evening wear. 224 Apparel Specializing in custom Greek apparel, 224 presented their best pieces at the UA fashion show. Their line consists of graphic, form-fitting T-shirts coupled with stylish jeans that express a trendy street style. The designers paired the casual outfits with stylish heels and sneakers and layered on long jackets and sunglasses for added flare. This brand works with their clients to
Fed by Threads Fed by Threads opened their first retail store in downtown Tucson and brought their best styles to the university’s fashion show. The line consists of neutral-colored, sustainable and organic clothing, serving a variety of situations from lounge clothes to evening dresses. This local clothing company prides themselves on their American-made, environment-friendly fabrics and their humanitarian work. Fed by Threads donates some of their profits to Feeding America, which works to bring surplussed food to Americans in need. Sunny Co. Clothing The next line of clothing that took the stage is a startup of two business majors here at the UA. Sunny Co. Clothing showcased their new swimsuit line, featuring solid colors and unique cutout designs. After seeing great success from selling a line of college game day skirts, the designers are working to expand their product line to other types of clothing. Creations Boutique This bohemian clothing store sells products from local Tucson designers and brought their signature southwestern style to the runway. The audience saw an array of flattering floral and
graphic designs on dresses, tops and pants. American Monarchy The fashion show featured another clothing brand created by a UA undergrad, American Monarchy. This brand specializes in stylish, quality streetwear. The line was styled to reflect some popular trends in fashion, such as pairing loose-fitting sweaters with thigh-high high heels. For this show, American Monarchy teamed up with a denim jean brand called Refresh. The samples of denim worn by the models were made with unique distress marks and white athletic bands to create a rebellious and distinct statement. American Monarchy donates 20 percent of their profits to the Salvation Army, in order to give back to the community. Anine Paulsen Anine Paulsen is a Norwegian fashion designer that lives in Tucson. She creates unique and modern women’s clothing through the use of bright colors and eye-catching textures. Her sample of clothing that was displayed during the fashion show was made with accents that focus on texture. Her work often includes sequins, reflective fabrics and wistful shoulderline details that are incorporated into different types of evening wear and casual clothing. Estéban The final designer to showcase their work in the fashion show was a Tucson local named Estéban Osuna. His calling in fashion is mixing European couture with southwestern style and influence. His dark but detailed fabrics are striking on the runway, with long asymmetrical skirts and intricate, structured tops that give a sophisticated edge to the line as a whole.

In the closing minutes of the fashion show, directors Jenna DeMaio and Gabriel Nakovich expressed gratitude to their supporters and the host turned to the audience to make a few closing remarks. “Fashion is such a big part of our lives, what you wear makes a big first impression about who you are,” Connor said. “So, as fashion week leaves its first impression on you, we hope we have left a good first impression like nothing else, with the first UA Fashion Week and first runway show.”

Annual Poetry Festival shares authors with Tucson BY KIRSHANA GUY @DailyWildcat
The 34th Annual Tucson Poetry Festival celebrates local and non-local writers. This year, the event featured six festival poets at 191 E. Toole Ave. The festival began Saturday, April 29, at 10 a.m. with workshops all day. This year’s festival was held in honor of Lusia Slomkowska, who was a Polish-American writer, translator and activist for lesbian and feminist issues. Throughout Slomkowska’s writings, she, according to Kore Press, explored “her identity as a Polish-American, lesbian writer and the daughter of a Nazi genocide survivor.” To commence the reading portion of the festival, a few pieces by the late Slomkowska were read from her book “Wire & Wail,” which made its debut at the festival. Em Bowen, executive director of the poetry festival, introduced each of the six readers of the evening. The first reader was Enrique García Naranjo, a poet, performer and pocho from Tucson. “Pocho,” according to Oxford’s Dictionary, is a term that refers to a United States citizen of Mexican origin. García Naranjo, 21, was 16 when he first read at a poetry festival. The Tucson Youth Poetry Slam alumnus and a Spoken Futures INC staff member published his debut collection of poetry, “Tortoise Boy Says,” through Spoken Future Press in 2014. He read some of his previous works, alongside newer pieces. His poems switch between Spanish and English. “It takes a community to raise an artist,” García Naranjo said. His poems focus on an array of social issues, such as immigration. Erik Loya-Tolano, the 2017 Tucson Youth Poetry Slam winner, was the second reader of the festival. Loya-Tolano also held a free youth workshop at 11 a.m. to help youth explore art, poetry and activism through their own voices. Dr. Ofelia Zepeda, a member of the Tohono O‘odham Nation and regents’ professor of linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at the UA, read her poem, “The Place Where Clouds Are Formed,” from her book of then same name. This collection was published by the University of Arizona Press in 2008. “There are a lot of things about Tucson that can stir the creative force in someone,” she said. Zepeda’s works include descriptions of sites in nature, such as rivers, oceans and the mountains, especially those found here in Tucson. After a short intermission, Bowen introduced the second set of readers for the evening. The first reader of the second

installment was Erín Moure Moure, a North American poet and translator, read pieces of poetry, some including words or phrases in Galician. She has published approximately 17 books of poetry, short stories, essays and more. She has also helped translate over 17 books of poetry and two creative non-fictions to English from Spanish, Portuguese, French and Galician. Moure read a few poems, including “Songstress” and “Apples.” Jericho Brown, an associate professor in English and creative writing at Emory University in Atlanta, read a series of nine short poems. He is a recipient of a Whiting Writers Award and has had his poems appear in many publications. His poems range from themes such as racial inequality and police brutality to Greek mythology and cuddling. Brown’s first poem was written in response to the deaths of individuals that supposedly committed suicide while in police custody. A few of the other poems Brown read also discussed such issues. “Some way or another it always seems that my poems can come out of my childhood even if they are not directly about my childhood,” Brown said. As a child, Brown loved riddles and
tried to intertwine poetry and riddles in his poem, “Riddle.” The poem speaks out about Emmett Till, a young African American who was brutally murdered in August of 1955. “I love poetry so much, and I believe in it as a force—as a spiritual energy,” Brown said. “The only thing I love more than poetry is cuddling.” His last poem of the evening focused on the feeling of cuddling with another. As Brown exited the stage, Bowen took the place at the podium. “I think we can all agree that poetry is a major force, and that’s what brings us here,” Bowen said. “In my perception, it is a nonlinear response to the linear world we live in.” The last reader of the evening was Natalie Diaz, an assistant professor in the Department of English at Arizona State University. Diaz is Mohave Indian and a member of the Gila River Indian Tribe. Diaz’s works focus on racial inequality, especially that of the Native Americans. In her poem “American Arithmetic,” Diaz states that Native Americans make up less than 1 percent of America but police violence against Native Americans claim more lives than any other race. Diaz’s other pieces focus on other issues, such as anxiety and the serenity of being with another, or even other forms
of art. As Diaz finished her readings, Bowen introduced Tucson Poet Laureate T.C. Tolbert to close the poetry festival. As the festival came to an end, the individuals began to crowd toward the door, and the festival poets sat alongside the wall on the padded bench seats. Sam Scovill, a graduate student in the school of sociology, attended the event to support Bowen, a friend and fellow teammate on the Tucson Women’s Rugby Team. “I have not really been involved in poetry here in Tucson before I moved her last summer, so it has definitely been an adventure finding spaces that I really like,” Scovill said. “This was inspiring and brought me into the community in a way that I wasn’t involved in before.” Kristina Sides, a psychology major at Pima Community College, also thought the event was interesting. “I was a little nervous because I thought it was going to be intimidating, but it was super laid-back,” Sides said. The 34th Annual Tucson Poetry Festival was produced in collaboration with the University of Arizona Poetry Center and Kore Press. The festival was also cosponsored by Casa Libre.

Jared Oliva almost quit before his career took off Oliva was under recruited out of high school, and it nearly ended his baseball career. Now, he has overcome plenty of obstacles to become one of Arizona’s big bats BY ROSS OLSON @rossolson95
Jared Oliva’s path to becoming a key member of the Arizona baseball team and a top Pac-12 talent has been unlike your typical success story. In fact, his journey and achievements almost never materialized, as he at one point mulled over the idea of quitting baseball altogether. Despite Oliva’s impressive physical prowess and natural feel for the game, he came to the UA as a preferred walk-on after only playing a handful of varsity games at his high school in Valencia, California Oliva attended the highly competitive Valencia High in northern Los Angeles, where he had to fight for playing time in a crowded and talented outfield, consisting of a few players who went on to play at the University of San Diego, San Diego State and the University of Oregon, among others. Still, Oliva felt he deserved an opportunity merited by his relentless work ethic in conjunction with God-given abilities. However, the coach’s outlook did not match Oliva’s, as Oliva played only 10 games his junior year and just slightly more his senior season. “We had a talented team,” Oliva said. “Was I the same player that I am right now? No. But I still had the talent and the tools and work ethic. I feel like I was ready to go if I got a shot, and it didn’t happen. For some reason, [the coach] decided to not have me in the lineup.” Despite limited playing time in high school, Oliva still believed he could play division I baseball as opposed to playing at a local junior college or at a lower-level school. While he believed in himself and trusted his abilities, uncertainty of the future proved to be a difficult reality. “It was a big obstacle and [it] really tested me,” Oliva said. “First off, do I want to continue playing baseball? It was tough at the time going through senior year wondering where I’m going to play next year.” Oliva still attracted the attention of collegiate programs after participating in summer showcases, among them was Arizona, resulting in an invite to a private workout session with then assistant coach Shaun Cole. However, Oliva’s high school coach once again almost undermined his future in baseball. “I told my high school coach about it and he said he would call [coach Cole], who was here at the time,” Oliva said. “Basically he said ‘you don’t want this guy, he’s not going to play in my program.’ Sure enough, I came here and talked to the coach, and after a day I showcased batting practice and all the typical

stuff, [coach Cole] pulled me aside and asked if he had the right guy. He called [my high school coach] back to make sure they were on the same page. After that, he basically offered me a walk-on spot, and the rest is history.” After redshirting his freshmen year, Oliva had an impressive first season with the UA in 2015 when he hit .272 with 20 RBIs, 22 runs and four stolen bases. Despite the momentum, the last season’s performance couldn’t match, in which he hit .240 with four home runs and 36 RBIs. Throughout his first two years, Oliva had shown glimpses of five-tool player capability, but this season, he’s starting to put it all together. Now batting at the top of the order and playing centerfield every day, Oliva has hit .337/.403/.546 with four home runs, 43 RBIs and 43 runs while playing exceptional defense and causing havoc on the base paths with his above-average speed. Oliva attributed his resurgence at the plate to a tweak to his load during the offseason that
has allowed him to see the ball better. “The biggest thing was when I would load back, I was turning my shoulders,” Oliva said. “I would lose the ball with my eyes. Coach Johnson pointed that out to me really early in the fall, so I made that staple to always focus on, keeping my right eye—my dominant eye— locked in on the pitch and all the sudden I’m seeing the ball a lot better.” Coach Jay Johnson has certainly seen the evolution of Oliva’s game since taking over for Andy Lopez two years ago. Johnson has raved about his discipline and even likened the outfielder to an MLB superstar who also impacts the game in multiple ways. “There was a stretch of 12 to 15 games last year where Jared wasn’t starting, [but] I would not trade him for anyone in the country right now,” Johnson said. “He’s our Mike Trout, if you will. That wasn’t the case a year ago. His work ethic and how he goes about everything he does with his athletic tools have now led to this development.”
Even more impressive is the way Johnson describes Oliva’s character. “I hate saying this because it sounds like the teacher’s pet, but if I had a kid and you could tell me he’s going to be like one of these people, Oliva would be the guy I would choose,” Johnson said. Oliva will most likely be the second Wildcat drafted behind J.J. Matijevic in the upcoming 2017 MLB Draft in June. Now, as Oliva prepares for another postseason run with UA, he makes light of the situation with his former high school coach who almost derailed his baseball career but admitted the situation gave him an edge and a sense of determination that has gotten him to this point. “I won’t lie to you, it gave me a chip on my shoulder,” Oliva said. “Right now, I don’t think too much about it at all. It’s made me develop that work ethic, perseverance and to be humble about everything. Looking back on it, I realize more and more how lucky I am to be here.”

BLOCKER MADISON WITT 23 PLAYS the ball during Arizona’s 4-1 win against New Mexico at Bear Down Beach on March 31. Madison, and her sister McKenna, will look towards professional careers after college.
Witts’ Arizona careers over after USC loss BY NIKKI BAIM @nikkibaim22
Arizona beach volleyball’s Madison and Mckenna Witt closed out their college careers on Saturday in an emotional loss against USC in the Pac-12 pairs tournament. “It was really special,” Madison Witt said about her last game at Arizona. “We really took in a lot of the moments and cherished them. We took a lot of time to look around and appreciate what was happening. It was overwhelming, but so beautiful at the same time.” The senior twins are a part of the foundation of Arizona beach volleyball’s program, which just wrapped up its fourth season. The Witts began the second day of the Pac-12 Pairs Tournament by defeating
Washington’s Crissy Jones and Tia Scambray. The Huskies’ pair has had the Witts number this year. In two previous matchups, the Witts failed to even steal a set from the Washington pair. But, the Witts looked like a different team on Saturday. “We knew coming in we were going to make it really hard on them to beat us three times,” Madison Witt said. “I think they felt the pressure a little more this time. We just stuck to our game plan and played our game.” The Witts had the block going, were finding the sand with every swing and their defense was the kind of scrappy that frustrates opponents. Also, you know luck is on your side when even your mistakes are scoring points. A missed set over the net dropped on
Washington’s side for a point. The Witts went on to an easy 21-13, 21-14 win. “Madison and Mckenna executed beautifully and really played liberated volleyball and played tremendous,” Arizona head coach Steve Walker said. The road to the pairs championship got harder after Washington for the Witts. They faced the reigning NCAA Champions, USC’s Sarah Claes and Kelly Hughes. The Witts are good friends with Claes and Hughes, but have never beaten them. Before the match, they were trying on each other’s sunglasses and giving each other piggyback rides. “Sarah and Kelly are awesome,” Madison Witt said. “We train with them in the summer, we went to Estonia with them last summer and
we’re actually really close. We love them. We love playing them. We would love to beat them. I think one day you’ll see that, so be ready.” That day didn’t come on Saturday. The Witts hung with Claes and Hughes for the first set, but missed serves and shanked passes gave the advantage to USC, 21-15. In the second, the Witts scored their first three points on powerful swings, but followed it up with three consecutive missed serves. The Witts maintained a lead for most of the set, but the errors piled up late. They lost 21-18. Claes and Hughes went on to repeat as NCAA champs. After the match, the Witts held back tears as family members, teammates and coaches hugged them.
Teammate Olivia Macdonald couldn’t control her tears from falling; she’d been playing under the Witts’ guidance for three years. “Even though they didn’t win, they went out with a bang,” Walker said. “Really showed what hard work, dedication and coachability looks like. They’ve been the face of this program for four years, and will be the team that every team be compared to from now until the end of my time here.” The Witts will continue to play beach volleyball this summer at AVP events, then return indoor at Cal Baptist University next year. After receiving their master’s degrees from Cal Baptist, they’ll most likely hit the sand once again, keeping an eye out for a rematch with Claes and Hughes.

do you want... answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Based on a recent poll among 18-34 year olds, most said their current relationship started by “being platonic friends first” (40%), followed by “formally dating” (35%), and then “as a casual physical relationship” (24%).
Will he still be into me if I don’t have sex with him? While there are no universal rules when it comes to love and sex – we are talking about real people here, after all – there are some practical guidelines to consider. If you are looking for a relationship, waiting on sex can make a lot of sense. That’s not to say that there aren’t committed couples out there who hooked up early on. It’s just that sex has the potential to complicate things. Different couples move at different speeds with regard to sex: the important thing to consider is that you are both traveling together at the same speed. If you want to gauge his interest in you, there’s actually a better indicator than sex: having a conversation about it. If you sense that he is losing interest based on your decision to wait, you have your answer. On the other hand, if he’s supportive, he just might be the right guy for you. Good relationships
are marked by being on the same page about who you are as a couple and maybe even where you are going. When one person craves only sex and the other is longing for something more, it’s hard to make things work. Chances are, if you have doubts about his level of interest, sleeping with him is unlikely to change that – though he may be more than willing to be a “friend with benefits.” But if you want something beyond sex, you risk more by doing the deed than by holding off. Be honest and realistic about what you are looking for. When the time is right, communicate those feelings. You may be surprised how revealing the conversation is. In the end, you get to decide the kind of relationship you enter into, if at all. Will it be, “single,” “in a relationship,” or “it’s complicated”?
