Lubisich undisputed president-elect after ASUA Supreme Court drops election appeal

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Supreme Court granted a motion filed by the elections commission to dismiss the case of Saltalamacchia v.

ASUA Elections Commission on March 20.

Matt Lubisich, who had

been initially disqualified for accruing three strikes against the ASUA elections code, is now officially the ASUA president-elect.

In a closed-door meeting, the Elections Commission moved to reverse one of the three strikes against Lubisich shortly after his initial disqualification. Stefano Saltalamacchia, Lubisich’s

Following the dismissal, the court canceled oral arguments scheduled to be held for the case on March 20 at 7 p.m.

Lubisich rises through ranks to ASUA pres.

Inspired by his mother’s involvement in ASUA, Matt Lubisich engaged in campus activities early until peers encouraged him to run for ASUA president

BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33

UA’s next student government president, Matt Lubisich, wasn’t even interested in politics three years ago.

Lubisich came to the UA following in his mother’s footsteps. She was an Associated Students of the University of Arizona senator in her time at the UA. “She was the one who first inspired me to get involved with ASUA,” he said.

In his first year at the UA, Lubisich joined Freshman Class Council, an ASUA organization focused on philanthropic events and outreach opportunities. He quickly immersed himself in campus issues and student government.

“It was intimidating that year,” he said. “You’re surrounded by older students who know the issues better than you.”

Lubisich recalled having no aspirations to become president at the time. After his freshman year and his experience at ASUA, he decided to run for senator.

“I was really trying to make a name for myself,” he said. “I started interacting with campus groups and co-directed the ‘I Will’ campaign.”

Josler Tudisco, current ASUA spring fling marketing director and former classmate of Lubisich, also worked on “I Will,” a sexual assault awareness campaign.

“It was a treat to work with Matt and see that campaign go together,” he said. “I’ve never seen someone put so much time and effort into anything.”

Madeline Dunlap, Lubisich’s campaign director, met him that year through Sophos Sophomore Honorary.

“We became friends through that,” she said. “It was awesome to get to know him and see that he had some vision going into ASUA.” During his time as a senator, Lubisich gained experience allocating money to clubs around campus and hearing students’ concerns.

“That’s why I wanted to run for the position of an at-large senator,” he explained. “Because college senators only focus on the stance and goals of their college and I wanted to represent the student body as a whole.”

These ideas, along with knowledge Lubisich gained as a senator, are what helped to shape his campaign platform when he decided to run for ASUA president.

“It was some point around sophomore year that I realized I actually wanted to be ASUA president,” he said.

During his work with student groups, many individuals encouraged Lubisich to run for ASUA president.

“I wanted to fix issues within ASUA, which was starting to lose touch,” he said.

Shortly after this decision, Lubisich asked Dunlap to be his campaign manager.

“I was so shocked, since I’ve never had any experience with ASUA,” she said. “But after seeing his work ethic and hearing about what he did as a senator, I said yes.”

Throughout his latest campaign cycle, Lubisich was confronted with

calls for his disqualification from the running and a smear campaign, the first ever seen from any student government at the UA. “I’m not gonna lie, that really worked in my favor,” Lubisich joked.

“People were suggesting I did it to myself, but we didn’t have the budget to pay for those posters and I’m not that creative.”

The ASUA Supreme Court dismissed allegations against his campaign earlier this week.

goals,” Tudisco said. “He’s naturally a good leader and a good representative for UA students as a whole.”

Going forward, Lubisich said he hopes to change how UA students perceive ASUA. “ASUA is not going to be synonymous with a lack of effort when I’m president,” he said. “I want students to know how we’re spending their tuition money and that we’re working hard for them.”

Tudisco agreed and added that students related to Lubisich’s platforms.

UAPD filming Gun violence reenactment this week

ASUA DISMISSAL FROM PAGE A1

BY NICK MEYERS @nickmeyers214

SIMON ASHER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

FORMER ASUA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Stefano Saltalamacchia and President-elect Matt Lubisich during the ASUA Presidential Debate on Feb. 27

Advisor, to be informed of the decision. This is standard practice, according to Gallego.

The court will release a full opinion in the next 10 business days.

Saltalamacchia appealed to the court that the elections commission failed to consider potentially disqualifying evidence that would uphold Lubisich’s disqualification.

Shortly before the election, the commission reversed Lubisich’s third strike, thereby making him president-elect.

Lubisich’s third strike was reversed on the grounds that Saltalamacchia’s team did not provide sufficient evidence, preferably a video, of Lubisich

campaigning off campus during the general election.

According to Saltalamacchia, he forwarded an email from the management of The District, an off-campus housing site, which contends Lubisich did campaign on their premises.

Since Saltalamacchia did not formally submit a second complaint, the commission could not consider this evidence.

Saltalamacchia also claimed to possess a video of Lubisich campaigning off campus. Since he did not fill out a complaint form within 48 hours of the filming of the video, the commission could not consider this evidence.

Had the video proven Saltalamacchia’s claim, the

KAMP.Arizona.edu/Android-App

elections commission would have been forced to uphold Elections Commissioner Chloe Durand’s strike against Lubisich.

Lubisich did not receive the prior approval necessary to campaign off campus during the general election from the commission, and therefore, Saltalamacchia would have become president-elect.

Additionally, Saltalamacchia states the election commission failed to award Lubisich a fourth strike during the campaign after Saltalamacchia’s team submitted video evidence of Lubisich allegedly campaigning in the UA library.

The commission did not respond to this complaint.

Over the course of the next couple days, the University of Arizona Police Department and a film crew will be working on the production of a video about gun violence on campus.

Students should not be alarmed to see a large group of police and police vehicles around the Student Union Memorial Center on Wednesday and Friday.

Vice President of Communications Chris Sigurdson said “people may see dramatic reenactments of a totally fake armed intrude, police response, drawn weapons, running, police cars with lights and various other forms of simulated mayhem,” in an email on Monday, March 20.

The crew will be filming on the third floor of the SUMC near the ASUA offices and the Bookstore administrative offices from 2-5 p.m. on Wednesday and at the roundabout on Mountain Avenue and James E. Rogers Way from 1-5 p.m. on Friday.

According to UAPD Chief of Police Brian Seastone officers will be present to keep students away from the filming areas.

Filming will also occur on Thursday, but the location will be indoors, out of public sight.

Seastone said students will see “a lot of police cars … police officers and actors” at the filming locations on Wednesday and Friday.

“Don’t be alarmed by it,” Seastone said. “This is a video presentation, not a real event.”

Members of the UA community will be “performing unusual and potentially unsettling action scenes,” Sigurdson said in the email.

The video is part of a training series commissioned by Student Affairs and the UA Campus Emergency Response Team to help educate students and faculty about emergency situations on campus.

The ASUA cabinet is made up of a set of directors that report directly to the president and require a twothirds senate approval.

According to the court’s rules of procedure, a majority of the justices must “agree that there is no genuine issue of material fact that requires the proceeding to move forward” in order to grant a motion to dismiss.

The court’s rules of procedure require motions to dismiss be filed no later than five business days after the close of pleadings.

March 20 was the final day to submit a motion following the close of pleadings on March 6.

The court’s rules of procedure do not explicitly state whether Saltalamacchia has an opportunity to present an argument against the motion to dismiss.

Justice Kayla Bernays recused herself from the matter because she represented Saltalamacchia during a Supreme Court case last year.

At least three of the four remaining justices agreed the appeal filed by Saltalamacchia did not meet the court’s standards.

Before the decision was made public, Saltalamacchia met privately with Janis Gallego, ASUA Legal Services

ASPE helps implement new engineering program

BY ELIZABETH QUINLAN @Eliz_quinlan

For the past year, UA engineering professor Dean Papajohn has been helping to implement programs at the engineering college to acclimate students with the business side of engineering.

Last spring, he teamed up with the American Society of Professional Estimators to hold an 11th Hour Bid Simulation on the UA campus.

Both the Phoenix and Tucson chapters of ASPE came to campus to share their knowledge of bid presenting in a hands-on simulation that taught students “the process of evaluating subcontractor bids, calculating bonds and tax, considering overhead and profit, and the ethics against bid shopping,” according to a thank-you letter to APSE Arizona Chapter Vice President Gene Plumb and Tucson Chapter President Trip McGrath.

The Phoenix Chapter will host the next 11th Hour Bid Simulation Saturday, April 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets range from $15.00 for ASPE members to $30.00 for non-members. Admission is free for students at the Arizona State University Del E. Webb School of Construction.

Papajohn led the formation of a construction engineering management emphasis within the Department of Civil Engineering. He has also established the Design-Build Institute of America chapter at the UA to help students develop skills around the business side of engineering and has promoted his CEM emphasis by gaining

company and alumni support to establish a $5 million endowment.

“When I was developing a new course in Construction Cost Estimating (CE483) in spring 2016, I reached out to ASPE and they helped

put me in touch with industry people that could come to class as guest speakers on specialized topics.” Papajohn said in an email. “ASPE also offered an outstanding bid simulation, which UA students participated in as part of the class,”

ASPE not only facilitated the 11th Hour Bid Simulation but provided students with resources like an undergraduate scholarship and monthly programs conducted by local chapters, according to Tom Mayer, chairman of the ASPE National Education Technical Committee.

The ASPE undergraduate scholarship application is an opportunity for students to earn a scholarship of $5,000 by completing an application form and providing ASPE with a list of extracurricular activities, employment history, an essay and a transcript.

Students majoring or minoring in a field related to construction can apply to this scholarship as long as they have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, are a full-time sophomore, junior or senior and have no relationship with any member of the scholarship committee.

Applicants are also subject to a personal interview with an ASPE representative.

The winning student is invited to an annual business meeting or chapter meeting, and the scholarship will be mailed directly to the recipient’s school in their name by Sept. 1.

Applications for this scholarship are due June 1 and the application is available online under the ASPE website’s education tab.

The American Society of Professional Estimators provide estimators and students alike with valuable professional development through summits, bid simulations and an undergraduate scholarship competition.

POLICE BEAT

BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hobread33

Blacked out A UA student with red, watery eyes walked into the University of Arizona Police Department lobby on March 4 around 9 a.m. to report a possible drugging and the theft of his possessions.

The man told police he was “partying” with his roommate around 10 p.m. the night prior in their room located at Rawls/ Eller Lodge.

He went on to say he drank beer, took a Xanax and “blacked out.”

When the man woke up he found his room ransacked. He described to police that chairs were strewn about, drinks had been spilled and expensive items of clothing were missing.

He then noticed the words “Fuck Bars” written on his right hand and a drawing of a penis on his left foot, which he showed to police.

When the man looked in the mirror, he found an additional drawing of a penis on his nose and words on his forehead. He removed them before coming to UAPD. He advised police he did not have a Xanax prescription but said that another resident may have given him additional Xanax. He told an officer he suspected the same person was responsible for the theft of his items.

The man told police he wished to press charges, however, when later contacted, said he changed his mind since his belongings were returned to him.

The man was directed to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession and an FYI for the Xanax use.

Tough guy A UAPD officer was dispatched to Highland Market on March 7 around 5 p.m. in reference to a violent man walking down the street.

The reporting party told police they witnessed a man lunge at a younger male subject and begin yelling at him.

When police arrived, the party pointed out the man.

The younger man told police he was walking by when the aggressor lunged toward him in a punching motion. He then jumped off the sidewalk to avoid getting hit.

He added that the man started yelling at him, “I’m gonna kill you, I’m gonna kill you.” When he began to walk away, the man began to follow him while witnesses called police.

The victim advised police the man was probably intoxicated, never made physical contact with him but that he did want to pursue criminal charges.

Police arrested the aggressor, who smelled of intoxicants and found a bottle of whiskey in his jacket and $657 in his wallet.

He was then taken to Pima County Jail and booked for disorderly conduct.

Festival highlights modern Mexican cinema Tucson Cine Mexico will bring together an eclectic mix of contemporary Mexican films to the Old Pueblo starting Wednesday

BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917

Film lovers of all ages and cultures unite. Tucson Cine Mexico is bringing some of our southern neighbor’s best contemporary films to town.

Tucson Cine Mexico has been a staple of the city’s film festival lineup since 2004 and is the longest-running showcase of contemporary Mexican films in the country.

The festival endeavors to bring incredible Mexican cinema to an enthusiastic Tucson audience, and the festival’s co-directors have carefully selected this year’s selection from countless entries.

“We are very cognizant that we are programming for the community, so we want to show the diversity of Mexican cinema that is being made,” said Vicky Westover, Tucson Cine Mexico co-director and director for the Hanson Film Institute. “[The films] are all really very different and everybody can enjoy all of them, but I think certain segments of the population will like certain films.”

Westover founded the festival 14 years ago through the Hanson Film Institute and has been the director ever since.

This year, Carlos Gutiérrez will be joining Westover and making his co-directing debut after serving as festival co-programmer for several years. Gutiérrez runs Cinema Tropical, an organization that promotes Latin American cinema in the U.S. and is a partner in Tucson Cine Mexico.

This year’s festival opens Wednesday night with a talk from documentarian and experimental filmmaker María José Cuevas. Cuevas is the filmmaker behind “Bellas de Noche,” a documentary included in this year’s festival that explores the lives of 1970s and ‘80s Mexico City showgirls.

The film is the first featurelength for the director and has received several awards from festivals around the world.

COURTESY TUCSON CINE MEXICO

"PRINCESS YAMAL IN 'BELLAS De Noche'" for Tucson Cine Mexico. The film will play at the festival at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 24.

Cuevas’ talk will focus on the place of showgirls during a time of economic crisis, women’s liberation and how that history has affected the medium today.

Cuevas will also be presenting various magazines and film excerpts she discovered during the 10 years of research that went into the creation of her documentary.

“Bellas de Noche” will screen on Friday with Cuevas in attendance.

“I think it’s a fascinating look into fame and post-fame life,” said Kerryn Negus, the assistant director of Hanson Film Institute.

“It centers around these five women who had achieved stratospheric levels of national fame and what happened to them after their fame.”

Following the documentary will be “Un Monstruo de Mil Cabezas (A Monster with a

Thousand Heads).” This thrilling drama follows a woman’s desperate attempts to save her husband from terminal cancer after being denied assistance from her insurance company.

Directed by Rodrigo Plá, the film is a gripping thriller that will leave audiences on the edge of their seat, while also commenting on an issue at the forefront of today’s tumultuous political landscape.

“CarmÍn Tropical” is another film that addresses contemporary issues but does so through the story of a muxe, the Mexican word for a person who is assigned male at birth but who identifies as either female or neither male nor female.

Mabel, the protagonist of the film, is a Oaxacan woman who returns to her hometown to find the person responsible for her friend Daniela’s murder.

Confronted with homophobia, corruption and intolerance along the way, Mabel embarks on this journey determined to find Daniela’s killer.

Westover came across “CarmÍn Tropical” when it was first released in 2014, but couldn’t include it in the year’s festival lineup due to budget constraints.

“I was not able to forget ‘CarmÍn Tropical,’” Westover said. “When it came time to program for this year, even though we had so many to pick from that were more recent, it had made such a strong impression on me that we decided to include it.”

The second film showing Saturday night is “La calle de la amargura (Bleak Street),” a black and white drama based on a shocking true crime story of prostitution, miniluchadores and murder. The

darkly comedic melodrama is directed by the well-known and award-winning Mexican filmmaker Arturo Ripstein .

Sunday’s matinee showing of “El Charro de Toluquilla” will close out this year’s festival.

The documentary follows Jaime GarcÍa, an HIV-positive mariachi singer with quite a personality.

“All good documentaries begin with a really compelling, charismatic character,” Negus said. “'El Charro de Toluquilla’ is playful and sweet; it’s a fabulously interesting documentary.”

All Tucson Cine Mexico showings will take place at Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18 theater, and admission is free.

Those interested in attending should visit the official festival website to reserve their tickets and plan to arrive 30 minutes early to screenings as seats are not guaranteed.

DJ Pike Romero talks hip hop influences

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

When it comes to Tucson hiphop, it’s almost impossible to miss DJ Pike Romero.

Romero, aka Smash Lames, is a DJ in the Tucson area and the director of Tucson’s Hip Hop Festival. The Daily Wildcat had a chance to interview him about what inspires him and who he looks up to in hip-hop.

DW: Who inspires you in hip hop?

PR: A lot of West Coast music like Snoop Dogg and Mac Dre is what I grew up on. DJ-wise, Grandmaster Flash and DJ Skribble and just those old-school pioneers as they blew open doors.

Currently, I am influenced by a lot of stuff and it’s mostly localized hip-hop, as it’s my main focus now.

Growing up, what were your favorite albums?

I was listening to a lot of different stuff ranging from In my Lifetime by Jay Z to Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre’s Chronic.

Those are really big influences when it comes to what I was listening to in high school.

I think the main albums are those five-mic albums that are classics and stick out in my mind.

When you are DJing, what is your mindset?

When I’m DJing, I like to feel out the crowd a little bit. I do not have a specific lane that I want to go with.

As a DJ, you want people to dance and feel good about the music you’re playing. I also have this thing where I want to break records. Overall, it is mainly to get the crowd feeling good and show them there is dope music out there.

If it is Club Congress, you know you are going to play anthems all night. If it is Hi Fi, you’re playing nothing but more EDM [electronic dance music].

Zen Rock, you’re playing more trap stuff, so it just depends. It is all about maintaining your style.

What are you currently listening to? Both locally and nationally.

Nationally, Jonwayne’s Rap Album Two is [mostly what] I have been listening to. D’Angelo’s Black Messiah is all I have been listening to for the past three days, but that’s because my auxiliary

cord broke in my car. I have not peeped the new Drake or Rick Ross yet, but hopefully I will have a chance to go to the store and get a new cord.

Locally, Combine Vibes just dropped a new song, and Cash Lansky just had an incredible release party this past Friday; that [was for] a really cool album called The Cool Table.

There is a group called Headlock here in town and they have a new album coming out later this year. Nobody has heard it yet but I have been playing it pretty heavily, and Lando Chill’s new stuff.

From your childhood to now, how has the Tucson scene changed?

When I was 18, there was nothing. I looked for shows happening in Tucson and I could not find anything.

I went to one b-boy jam in

the early 2000s and it opened my mind up, but it was very breakdancer-orientated. It kind of grew from there.

They had some rap battles popping off, like “8 Mile.” They used to have rap battles in Tucson called mic fights, and that helped elevate the scene.

That was a staple for most of the 2000s and I heard it while I was in Oklahoma City.

When I returned, I just sat back for about two years to see what was going on. I was focusing more on managing and less on DJing, so I was just focusing on artists and website stuff. In 2013, I decided I would just focus on local Tucson hip-hop.

What do you feel is the current state of hip-hop?

I like it. I think as a listener, you’re getting hit with a bunch of new stuff all of the time. There is such a variety that it is hard

for you not to find something to like. Even if it is Playboy Carti or Yachty, each of their songs probably has something you can enjoy. It is also definitely a generational thing, as West Coast music was definitely a big influence on me.

You ask an East Coast dude and he is obviously going to say it’s whack. I listen to everything.

I listen to Gucci Mane and Mr. Lif and I listen to just producers and DJs and scratch records.

I try to listen to everything as much as possible to have a good range and balance of what is current, dope and what I like.

At home, just because I am a DJ too, I have over 3,000 records and probably five terabytes of music.

Where did the nickname Smash Lames come from?

I just wanted to make a new moniker. From high school to basically 2010, people were

calling me DJ Jafar. It was given to me by some friends, but I never really liked the name. It was really funny, but I still did not enjoy it.

'I was actually in Oklahoma City for my college years and I moved back to Tucson and decided I wanted to change my name.

I just thought it was dope. It was kind of braggadocios I guess and you cannot see my pedigree.

If someone was getting into rap, what would you recommend?

I think I would suggest watching movies such as “Style Wars” and “Wildstyle,” listen to Madvillainy by MF Doom and watch “the Breaks.” Cinema is a big part of hip-hop, and I think it gets left out a lot. Movies like “Juice,” “Boyz in the Hood,” “Don’t be a Menace,” and “Menace II to Society” all play a part.

Art professor retires with legacy of creativity

BY MELISSA VASQUEZ @vxmel

Next year, professor Alfred Quiroz from the UA School of Art will be retiring. His outlook and interesting teaching methods have inspired students and pushed them to think when making art.

Quiroz’s passion for art is in everything he does and teaches. For those who took classes with him, the experience is something they will never forget.

The professor’s love for art is something that has been a part of him since his childhood, and it became clear in his early life that he was born to be an artist. When he was growing up in Tucson, he had art in his mind.

“I always did art on the side," Quiroz said. "I was always the family artist."

It was in high school when he realized that he should dedicate himself to art. According to Quiroz, it was one of his art teachers who discovered his talent in painting and encouraged him to break away from the math and science program he was in.

After graduation, Quiroz joined the Navy, but he knew once he got out he would be doing art. While there, he would send numerous letters to the San Francisco Art Institute, where he would later graduate with a bachelor of fine arts.

“It was like my ritual: sit down, write a letter, ‘dear San Francisco Art Institute, to whom it may concern’ and say that my interest was to be a painter,” Quiroz said.

DJ ROMERO FROM PAGE A7

Can you talk about why Madvillainy is your favorite?

At the time, I was living with two friends in Oklahoma City and it was just something we were really into. The syllable rhyme schemes and Doom’s style of rapping just captivated me. The odd banter he talks about and the way he says it is just so odd.

All of that just blew my mind, and the production from Madlib was not ordinary at all. Using TV show sample flips and a SP303 was just interesting.

If you could have dinner with any two hiphop artists/producers, who would it be?

This is probably going to sound cliché, but it would be Biggie and Tupac. They are probably the greatest, well not the greatest, but they are so legendary. There is just so many questions to be asked at that dinner.

Doom and Madlib would be awesome as well. There is so many different

ART PROFESSOR FROM PAGE A8

Quiroz credits his letter writting for finally getting him accepted to the school. When he finally got to San Francisco and went in to apply in person, he was recognized as “the guy who has been writing.”

Quiroz learned something that would be crucial to his art and the way he created it.

He remembered the words of one of his first mentors there, who told him to paint what he thinks about, even though he didn’t think it was nice.

“Then that’s all it took,” Quiroz said. " It opened up the floodgates and everything I had in my head came out.

He would later have exhibits all over the nation, obtain a master’s degree in education at the Rhode Island School of Design and return to his hometown, Tucson, to get a master’s in fine arts at the UA and later teach.

To Quiroz, self-expression was important, and it was something that he taught as fundamental to his students.

Throughout his years of teaching art at the UA, he fostered the spirit of creativity within his students so that they could express themselves in an honest way.

“I can be a controversial artist; I just have ideas and this is the way I think about things and so here’s my art,” he said.

Something Quiroz has told his students is that their art should contain something that makes people think.

“The one thing art has to do is stop people in their tracks and make them look," he said.

"If you can’t have them do that, then your work is not working."

Yet Quiroz wants his students to paint what they see in their own ways.

“I teach very open-mindedly,” Quiroz said. “I don’t have an agenda. I don’t want

combinations that you would want to talk to and try to get in-depth with.

Even when you are on tour with other artists, you don’t even get to sit down that much to hang out and talk unless you are on the road for a really long time.

Who do you think is the greatest?

Black Thought of the Roots. He is perfect every time and he is versatile. He may not have a solo album, but he is the lead artist of the Roots.

The Roots have put out so many albums that those are practically his solo albums, and every night on Jimmy Fallon he is just doing all of the different stuff. He is my No. 1 hands down whenever that conversation comes up.

I bet that gets debated a lot. He is never in the top 10.

He never pops up and I always tell people that, too. I guess I have heard his name a few times but only from the hip-hop elite that know he is that good. He bodies everyone on the tracks.

people to paint like me.”

Quiroz added it’s important to him that his students are stimulating their minds every time they create something.

“I don’t tell them what they should be painting; I tell them what they should be thinking about or what they should be reading or looking at,” he said.

One student who has been inspired by Quiroz is Sophia Mayorga, a senior studying art education.

She said she hopes to one day teach and be as inspiring to her own students.

She is currently in one of his painting classes and first had him during a summer class. One of the things she liked the most about Quiroz was his honesty and how he pushed his students to learn more than they had to.

“He always tries to make us think [about] what we don’t see, and it’s really cool to have a teacher be like that,” Mayorga said. "I think his best interest is in the students’ creativity, and that’s really nice."

She also said she appreciates Quiroz’s quirkiness and that when Quiroz tells stories about his life everyone is actively engaged and listening.

“He’s an old soul and he’s a very good person, and to me he reminds me of a reincarnation of Salvador Dali," she said.

"He’s not crazy, but he’s out there."

Mayorga said students who will not be able to have him as a professor after he retires will be missing out.

“If there are any future art students at the UA, I honestly feel bad for them because they are not going to get to experience him as a teacher,” she said.

Quiroz left his mark on the UA and all the students who learned from him.

“He’s going to be missed,” Mayorga said.

“Just because he’s memorable and he’s a really great person. There’s not many people like him.”

Allen moves forward as Wildcats’ heart and soul

BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW

From Wilmington, North Carolina to Hutchinson, Kansas and finally to Tucson, Arizona—senior point gaurd Kadeem Allen’s journey is different than a lot of other college basketball players.

He’s not the only one who was scarcely recruited, finding himself at a junior college. After only receiving scholarship offers from schools close to home, Allen had to leave his beloved family in North Carolina and head to Kansas to begin his college career.

Family is everything to the 24-year-old who had a daughter, Genesis, in September and had nearly 20 family members in town for senior day during Arizona’s home finale against UCLA. Arriving in Hutchinson, a town of just 42,000, wasn’t easy for Allen, who had never been away from family. He was constantly calling his mother, asking to come home.

“The first month, I was just ready to go home,” Allen told Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star. “I wanted to go home multiple times. But my mom and my girlfriend told me to stick it out and try to be the best I could be.”

As Allen has with every hand he’s been dealt in his career, he made the most of it. He would eventually become the NJCAA Div. I Player of the Year in 2014, but like every stop in his career, he had to overcome adversity first.

Hutchinson had an injured point guard when Allen

Arizona’s road filled with ups and downs

BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports

The Arizona basketball season has felt like a three hour-long Oscar award-winning movie.

There were Kodak moments, injuries, adversity, and disappointment, but it all came together in time for Arizona to win a Pac-12 Championship, which appeared to be impossible considering the circumstances at the season’s start.From the second media day started, there was so much hype surrounding the team because it was arguably the most talented squad head coach Sean Miller has ever had at Arizona.

Players like five-star point guard Kobi Simmons were expected to lead the team and a 7-footer from Finland named Lauri Markkanen was the international man of mystery, Rawle Alkins looked like a Mack truck and he hadn’t even lifted weights before coming to Arizona. The veterans looked to bounce back from a first-round NCAA Tournament exit at the hands of Wichita State.

Allonzo Trier’s NBA preparation season was on the cusp and Ray Smith was returning from an ACL injury.

Those were the Kodak moments because everyone was full of joy, taking selfies and modeling for the multiple photo shoot areas set up at media day in late September.

SIMON ASHER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA’S ALLONZO TRIER PENETRATES the Stanford defense during the Arizona-Stanford game on Feb. 8.

That special moment was a small window, because just a few minutes after stepping on the court in an exhibition game against the College of Idaho, Smith went down with yet another torn ACL. And Trier surprisingly sat

on the bench in street clothes.

Wait, wasn’t Trier supposed to be having the season of his life to prepare for the NBA Draft?

We’ll get to that part of the movie later.

So without Smith and Trier, the Wildcats

Upcoming Highlights

went into the season opener against No. 12 Michigan State down two players. It didn’t matter anyways, because guard Kadeem Allen went coast-to-coast and hit a buzzer beater layup to seal the win.

“The identity and characteristics of this team is this guy right here,” Miller said of Allen.

“He’s as hard of a playing guy as I’ve seen, and he won’t let his team lose,” After the Michigan State win, Arizona played well down two players until Allen injured his knee and Parker Jackson-Cartwright suffered a sprained ankle, leading to losses against Butler and Gonzaga.

In just a span of less than two months, the Wildcats didn’t have an established lineup and dropped two games out of the conference.

That’s when the Wildcats had the “look at yourself in the mirror” moment every actor has in movies and saddled up to overcome the awful hand that was dealt to them.

Even though they were sluggish in nonconference play, the three freshmen were still contributing and doing just enough to give Arizona wins going into Pac-12 Conference play.

Markkanen’s size and ability to work on the outside put his name in the lottery pick discussion; Alkins was the bruiser and glue piece on the wing, while Simmons was the

KADEEM ALLEN FROM PAGE B2

arrived, and he had to play on the ball his freshman season. It was the exact same situation for Allen upon his first year playing for Arizona in 2015-2016.

Just like he would at Arizona, Allen thrived off the ball and averaged nearly 26 points per game; he was on his way to Tucson. And the next roadblock was right there waiting.

“I asked him to red shirt, and he did it,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller.

“Everything was difficult—the practice structure, the academic structure, not playing with us in the games but having to practice, maybe lifting weights for the first time ever. And to think about where he was and where he is today, he’s two classes from graduating.”

Allen watched from the sidelines as T.J. McConnell, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Stanley Johnson fell in the Elite Eight to the Wisconsin Badgers.

It was arguably Miller’s best team and his best, and favorite, point guard. Allen spent 2016 trying to live up to the standards the 2015 team set, but he realized he had to become his own player.

“You think of a guy like a T.J. McConnell, who became a great leader for us a couple years ago, Kadeem is his equal,” Miller said.

“He does it in a different way, but he does it by example.”

Unlike at Hutchinson, Allen

stayed on the ball this season and has been starting at point guard for good since backup point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright went down with an ankle injury.

He’s made the most of it.

He averaged nearly 10 points per game and had a team-high 50 steals on his way to being named to the All-Defense Pac-12 team.

Of all the things Miller likes to mention when he talks about Allen, whether it be defense or making big plays late in games, he almost always mentions the type of leader Allen is.

“If you would have told our team a few years ago that Kadeem Allen would be the great leader he is today, they would have all bet me, because he was just trying to make it when he first got to Arizona,” Miller said.

“He’s the only senior on our team. He’s our team’s heart and soul. Everybody on our team respects him a great deal because he only cares about winning. He really does.

I’ve never, ever had a conversation nor has anybody about how many shots he gets or points. And he’s in this for the right reasons.”

This year is Allen’s chance to etch his name in Arizona lore. For as beloved as McConnell is in Tucson, Allen can carve out quite the legacy if he can lead Arizona to the Final Four this season.

“Kadeem is one of my favorite players I’ve ever been around, as a teammate, when I played, assistant coach, head coach,” Miller said. “He has overcome tremendous odds.

He’s what college sports is all about. He’s taken advantage of the path that has been given to him.”

Take advantage he has. Allen and the Wildcats are just two steps away from Glendale, and it would be an epic finish to Allen’s ride.

Organized Chaos leads to Alkins Return

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

SALT LAKE CITY—The NCAA Tournament is unforgiving; one play can decide your fate. Such could have been the case for the Arizona Wildcats in the second round of the men’s basketball West Region as guard Rawle Alkins dislocated his finger.

Cue Justin Kokoskie, long-time trainer and one who is familiar with the panic that can set in when a star player goes down, sitting there staring at a finger that is going the opposite direction from the way it is meant to go.

Midway through the first half of Arizona’s 69-60 win over Saint Mary’s College, Alkins went up for a rebound and then came down hunching over in pain.

As Alkins walked off the court the Wildcats, who were trailing in the game already, were looking down at the snake as it dug its fangs into the legs of a promising season. However, sometimes there is a remedy and when the proper approach is taken, you can remove the problem, cure it and move on, just as Arizona did Saturday night.

For fans at home, the feeling of watching a player so important to the team go down can cause a tremendous amount of worry, but for Kokoskie, this is what he gets paid

for. In the midst of all the chaos going on around him—from the bench, to the fans, to the game itself—Kokoskie had to find his quiet space and properly evaluate the freshman from Brooklyn.

“It’s a little easier because when you’re out on the court you have tons of people overseeing it, even trying to micromanage it,” Kokoskie said. “When you get him here [locker room] it’s isolated, you get a good thorough eval on him and take it from there.”

It becomes a game of don’t rush but hurry. He evaluated Alkins and provided an x-ray, realizing it was a slight fracture from the dislocation and then allowed Alkins to go back in the game.

It is a delicate balance of making sure no further risk is in place but also getting the player evaluated quickly enough to get him back on the court in a timely manner.

Every case is different; every case requires a variance in attentiveness than another.

Having a set of guidelines is the reason measures are taken to alleviate any panic that may set in, in this case, a call to action in the most important game of the season.

“It just comes down to certain protocol you follow right away, just get going with it,” Kokoskie said. “Evaluate the injury: What’s the next step, do we need x-rays, do we need to consult a doctor on it? Then you

take it from there.”

Kokoskie’s efforts got Alkins back on the court where he was able to play an instrumental role in Saturday’s victory. Alkins

finished the game and helped his team get back to the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time in five seasons. The Wildcats head to San Jose to take on Xavier on Thursday.

Will the Final Four finally be in the cards?

BY IVAN LEONARD “@Ivan14bro

For the fourth time in five seasons, Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller has led the Wildcats to the Sweet Sixteen, and it has fans and pundits thinking: Will this be the year Arizona gets back to the Final Four?

Arizona’s last two attempts were foiled

by Wisconsin in the Elite Eight, but if the two teams met this season, the Wildcats would be in the Final Four.

The last time Arizona made the Final Four, Luke Walton was at Arizona instead of coaching the Los Angeles Lakers; Gilbert Arenas and Richard Jefferson were playing under Lute Olson, and Miller was just an assistant at North Carolina State.

Arizona has lost its last three Elite Eight games by a combined 10 points, so the Wildcats have been right on the cusp of breaking through.

Running into Kemba Walker and Frank Kaminsky is not an ideal scenario for any team, and Arizona still almost won each of the three games.

All three teams left in this year’s West Region, Xavier, Gonzaga and West Virginia,

are tough matchups, but none have talents like that of Walker and Kaminsky.

Despite no Final Fours since 2001, Arizona fans routinely believe their Wildcats have what it takes to make it into the Final Four. The Wildcats are loaded with talent in both the frontcourt and backcourt, while also having plenty of versatility.

If Lauri Markkanen is struggling, Allonzo Trier steps up. When Markkanen and Trier are not having their shots fall, then Rawle Alkins can take over for Arizona. Down low, Dusan Ristic can always post up for a bucket when Arizona needs it.

Despite Arizona’s lack of Final Four appearances over the past decade and a half, fans are right in expecting a Final Four this season.

A team with as much talent as Arizona is not just satisfied to be in the tournament. With a roster loaded with talent and a favorable draw in the tourney, what are Wildcats fans supposed to root for? When a player like Markkanen is your second scoring option, the sky is the limit for your basketball team.

The Miller approach In his eighth season as the head coach of the Wildcats, Sean Miller has proven he is a good coach, but his methods are more than just X’s and O’s

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller is a man who beats to the tune of his own drum. He is at the helm of one of the premier basketball institutions in the country and perhaps the best coach that has yet to reach a Final Four. It would be easy to write off Miller as an underachiever due to his team’s success late in the NCAA Tournament, however, that would be the coward’s route.

In 2009, when the skies were gray and a proud program was turned down by Tim Floyd of all people, it was Miller who gave it a second chance. Miller has succeeded at a school that was ripe for a floundering. Able to take the reins of the basketball program and restore it almost completely to its past glory, Miller has kept hoops a relevant part of Tucson life.

His gyrations on the sideline can mislead you into thinking the ship is sinking or that some poor player’s soul is about to be ripped from his body and sacrificed to the gods of victory. The fact of the matter is he is a coach that would do anything for his players, and often times at the sacrifice of his personal life and family.

Such instance came recently during the last home game against UCLA when Miller’s son, Cameron, scored his 1,000th career point while playing in the state title game against Shadow Mountain. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment that he will never get back; this is the sacrifice of leading a big time program.

“I think the gift and the curse sometimes of being a college basketball coach is: The gift is you’re able to take your kids to places and do things a lot of young people don’t get to do,” Miller said during an interview with Jim Rome. “The curse is you miss a lot, and for me I wasn’t able to be at that state championship game. … I am proud of him.”

Miller has had his share of adversity to deal with this season. From Ray Smith to Allonzo Trier, he has had to deal with more than most while leading his team to the Sweet Sixteen in San Jose.

Part of dealing with that many issues is being true to who you are under any circumstance; for that Miller is always on target.

There haven’t been many situations where Miller has been caught off guard or taken aback by a question or situation. It is as though he has prepared for each question before you even entertained the thought. He simply has an answer for everything. He is as meticulous in his approach to the game as he is about the smallest details that surround him. Hearing him speak to a recruit on the phone within the confines of McKale Center and trying to instill confidence in the player from a thousand miles away is one of the many reasons kids commit to Arizona.

“I think all of us as coaches we try to be ourself,” Miller said. “If you’re not who you really are, I don’t think it works. For me, I am more of a passionate type of person or coach, kind of put all the eggs into that one basket.”

Nothing has been more evident about a coach’s demeanor than Miller’s approach following the Oregon loss this season when the Ducks obliterated the Wildcats by 27, nearly going perfect from 3-point range in the first half. It was SIMON ASHER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

reminiscent of a darker time in 2015 against Wisconsin when the Badgers were just as hot in the second half, beating the Wildcats and moving on to the Final Four. In both instances Miller’s approach never changed. He tipped his hat to the victor and rested on his team’s play, knowing that some days just aren’t yours.

“He’d say just keep knocking on the door, you’re right there, they’re hitting shots but we’re playing good defense,” said former Arizona and current Philadelphia 76ers guard T.J. McConnell. “The thing he says is just do what we do … do what we do on defense and we’ll breakthrough.”

Miller’s intensity has never been questioned, on a scale of one to 10, he is a 32,765. No other coach in the country appears as visually engaged and as passionate about the game of basketball than the Pittsburgh native.

“I mean I wouldn’t say scared but his intensity, sometimes you are just taken back, and you’re like, ‘wow, this guy wants to win just as badly as we do,’” McConnell said. “You respect it at the same time; it is pretty awesome to see— just his passion for the game, the way he prepares us for games, his intensity and will to win is second to none.”

McConnell spoke with high regard for Miller, going to such lengths as to make sure his former coach was one of the first to receive an invite to his upcoming wedding in September. He isn’t the only former player to have that feeling about their former coach. Former Wildcat and current Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has the same outlook on Miller.

Hollis-Jefferson mentioned he still speaks to Miller and assistant coach Book Richardson on a regular basis. He credits them to getting him where he is today, and he envisions a future Final Four for Arizona. Hollis-Jefferson had a different perspective from McConnell when it came to intensity and the way Miller approached players in situations, but said he was effective nonetheless.

“I mean, if it’s intense I wouldn’t consider it a conversation,” Hollis-Jefferson said while chuckling. “I remember one time I probably had a stupid foul or forgot to help on defense and he went off during a timeout. You build that kind of trust and that kind of responsibility with a person, so he wouldn’t come at us a certain way all the time. He definitely held everyone to the same standard.”

Miller said during an interview in Salt Lake City that every player is different and you have to learn just as much about the player as the situation itself.

Sometimes tough love, just as much as encouragement, is needed, but it is about knowing the players and what makes them tick. The great coaches get the most out of their players by doing so. Miller has done just that without the backing of a Final Four to prove his worth, he doesn’t need to, the numbers speak for themselves.

Arizona is going to their fifth Sweet Sixteen in Miller’s eight seasons. He has amassed 30 wins and led the team to a Pac-12 regular season championship four of his eight seasons, two of them culminating in a Pac-12 Tournament Championship. He also has a higher overall winning percentage than legendary coach Lute Olson during his time at Arizona.

Miller and his approach are what have the Wildcats on the doorstep of ultimate success, a trip to Glendale and a spot in a national semi-final. It would be unchartered territory for him, but rest assured Miller has prepared for the moment his entire life.

electrifying guard that thrived on offense.

“Throughout the whole season, we’ve faced adversity and they’ve been the rock of this team all year,” Allen said.

As the conference schedule progressed, Arizona faced its toughest test at UCLA and the heroic acts of Trier came into play.

After sitting out the first 19 games of the season, he was cleared to play after it was discovered he had been suspended for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs in September. The UCLA student section chanted “steeeeeeroids” and “P-E-Ds,” but Trier lifted Arizona to a signature road victory.

With Trier back, plus JacksonCartwright and Allen returning to full health, the Wildcats were ready to take on the other top dog in the Pac-12 in the Oregon Ducks.

However, the ‘Cats were sent home by the Ducks with their tails between their legs after the Ducks stunned Arizona by 27 points.

Arizona avenged the Bruins and Ducks in the Pac-12 Tournament to claim the outright conference tournament championship.

Who would’ve thought the team that had seven scholarship players available at one point was cutting down nets?

“Our depth of experience of all that we’ve been through this year, the fight that we’ve had from start to finish, has really prepared us,” Miller said. “Nothing is easy in this tournament. The unexpected happens and you have to be able to fight through it to get there.”

As the No. 2 seed in the West Regional of the NCAA Tournament, Arizona grinded out their first two games, and their season was in jeopardy against Saint Mary’s College, because Alkins left the game with a dislocated finger and Arizona was down 10.

At the end of the day, it’s survive and advance, and Arizona lived to see another game in the Sweet Sixteen against Miller’s previous team in Xavier.

“We’re very happy for coach Miller.” Trier said. “This is something he’s not new to, and it kind of feels funny because last year he didn’t have that deep run in the tournament that he usually has.”

Secret to ‘Cats success is filled with walk-ons

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @SBookman32

SALT LAKE CITY—The fondness of upsets in the NCAA Tournament can blind people from the joy of a blowout and the results that ensue, such as the ecstasy a walk-on feels when getting to realize a lifelong dream.

For Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball walk-ons Tyler Trillo, Jake DesJardins, Kory Jones and Paulo Cruz, that dream became a reality with just over two minutes left in Thursday’s blowout victory against North Dakota in the NCAA Tournament. Trillo, a transfer from NCAA Division III Roger Williams University, checked in at the 2:13 mark alongside five North Dakota players, including walk-on Devon Pekas. One minute later DesJardins, Jones and Cruz joined him.

For these players, it isn’t about playing time, it is about the hard work and dedication into making the team they play for better, in any way possible. Arizona head coach Sean Miller said as much when he mentioned that this years walkon class is the best they have ever had during his time at the UA. “They contribute an amazing amount, they’re our quote, unquote, ‘scout team.’

We rely on them to simulate the other

team,” Miller said. “They do it as well as any group that we’ve had, selfless. Those are the guys you want to hire when college ends because they do all of the things that everybody else does, but they get very little credit. We have a great group of walk-ons, and I’m glad we were able to get them in.”

They are the very definition of a student athlete, academia and athletics in its purest form. The work these players put in comes without recognition, it comes without any realization of significant playing time; instead, it is the opportunity to be a part of one of the best teams in the country and the frills that come with it.

The sacrifice is more evident when you realize that each walk-on had chances to play at lesser profile schools but opted to play for the Wildcats.

“I had a few division II offers and I had some interest from some other division ones and I was just kind of waiting on what to do,” DesJardins said. “[Arizona] was always a dream school of mine and I actually got an academic scholarship to the UA. I sent [the coaching staff ] an email with film, transcripts and all that stuff.

They called me less than 30 minutes later and were like, ‘Hey, we’re actually looking for another walk-on if you’d be interested; we have to talk to coach [Miller] still.’ Two weeks later, I went out there and visited

and it happened right there.”

Constant contact is the theme between these four walk-ons. They were a pest to put it lightly, but to get your “dream job” isn’t that what it takes? Email after email,

phone call after phone call, these guys didn’t let up when trying to contact the men’s basketball staff and get a tryout.

to get beat up every day in practice and run the ringer while being asked to enjoy it, dedication folks.

The story of DesJardins is similar to Trillo and Cruz who had opportunities at other places but valued the chance to be with a college basketball brand such as Arizona.

Kory Jones’ story differs a bit, coming through the ranks of pick up basketball games at the Student Recreation Center. A lot of kids think there may be the opportunity for a walk-on position based on their play in the fitness center, but few have actually lived the reality like Jones.

“I found a way to contact coach [Joe] Pasternack and found out how I can do it,” Jones said. “He watched me play at the Rec Center a couple times and it ended up working out for them. About three weeks later, they told me to come in and take a picture with a uniform on, so I guess that was the official word.”

Jones was on the court, less than two weeks after joining the team full time, in front of the McKale faithful. Talk about living the dream of a student at UA, one minute you’re playing pick up basketball with Timmy from Chemistry class, next you’re running fullcourt sprints next to Lauri Markkanen, a future NBA draft pick. Not too shabby.

Every walk-on is part of the scout team for Arizona, meaning they mimic the opposing teams players as best they can to simulate game situations. It is perhaps the most important role they have throughout the course of the season. It comes with all the pressure of game preparation without the fruits of seeing the game through. It is a relished position if you ask any of them, and Miller is appreciative of the effort each one of them has given to make the program as great as it can be.

“Anybody that you add to your program has to be a part of a solution,” Miller said.

“Has to be somebody that can really add value. … And those guys—for example, what we’re about ready to do [practice], we have 90 minutes. We have one shot to represent St. Mary’s and prepare the best that we can. … Who represents St. Mary’s? Those guys [walk-ons]. … How intelligent they are, they have to love the game, they have to be selfless, and being able to put them in the game last night was great for them. They’re a part of our team, and we value what they do a tremendous amount.”

As for the experience of actually setting foot in an NCAA Tournament game, well, it went past what they could’ve imagined. Each player took the floor, full of excitement and nerves.

“It was my first March Madness experience, nerves were going through my body,”

Cruz said. “It’s an amazing experience just to be here. Not too many people can say they played in an NCAA Tournament game.”

The unsung heroes of this year’s Wildcats shouldn’t go unnoticed. The minute or two of playing time each walk-on received is a lifetime experience that they will never forget. It is more than playing time, it is the recognition of the contributions each of them has made in the most basic way, game time.

“It was awesome, didn’t it really expect it at first, we had a big lead,” Trillo said. “It’s the tournament, anything can happen and it felt good to get out there and experience it for yourself.”

so Arizona would avoid them if they do in fact make the Final Four.

Despite not being in the upperechelon of college basketball royalty, Arizona is just a tier below in the pecking order.

While Duke and Kentucky are two of the first schools you think of in college basketball, Arizona is further down that list. And until Arizona breaks through into the Final Four and adds another championship banner, the Wildcats will stay in that second tier.

Every year, five to 10 college basketball fanbases have a championship or bust mentality, and the Arizona program is amongst those who believe year after year.

If it doesn’t happen this year, Arizona fans will be expecting to contend for a Final Four again next year with top high school recruit Deandre Ayton heading to Tucson.

If it does happen, fans will expect Miller and the ‘Cats to repeat their performance, and Arizona will be considered the best team out west for years to come.

For now, all of Tucson is on the edge of their seat, waiting, hoping to make the trip to Glendale in just 10 days.

I

n 1951, a young Jewish immigrant enrolled at City College of New York. Since his family was from a working class background, his options for higher education were limited to a publicly supported institution. Colleges like these were held in low esteem by much of society and were scrutinized for their performance standards, and their attendees who hailed from foreign countries with little money to offer.

After joining, he wasn’t firmly committed to what his major would be. Eventually, he settled on physics, and his experience at the publicly subsidized CCNY led him to obtain a Ph.D. five years later, then a Nobel Prize in the next 12 years. He was credited with assisting in the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, an accomplishment that advanced human understanding of the origins of our universe. His name was Arno Allan Penzias, and his contributions to humanity would not have been possible without publicly funded higher education.

Penzias’ story is not an uncommon one. CCNY became famous for its high output of Nobel Laureates from lower-class backgrounds throughout the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. Its mission, with money from the public, was to elevate poor immigrant children to higher economic and social status with the gift of higher education. Along the way, society reaped huge benefits from scientific discoveries and economic studies fby these college graduates.

As the decisions of CCNY show, investment in college education is an investment in our society. The more the tools of higher education are made accessible to industrious students in subjects like science, philosophy, humanities or economics, the more our nation, the world and humanity as a whole will benefit.

Arbitrary barriers to this education like race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation were struck down, to the immense benefit of our country.

The next barrier we have to dismantle is socioeconomic status. An individual’s life should not be dictated by factors outside of their control, including disadvantageous childhood circumstances, geography and crippling costs of student tuition.

Unfortunately, moves to increase student fees for college, like the one the UA is making for next year, reinforce barriers that exclude disadvantaged, yet high-potential students.

But the recent decision to increase tuition for new students cannot be viewed in a vacuum. Social forces that extend beyond our campus and state boundaries play a role in constraining the funds for universities. As a nation, there seems to be widespread disenchantment with the idea of public investment for public gain. Notions of national unity and party solidarity have given way to conflicting narratives of our nation’s true identity and a deep distrust in governing institutions to act for the public good. This distrust has resulted in politicians winning elections off promises to slash state funding, remove public dollars from

universities and disparage the role of a state in offering any type of assistance to disadvantaged citizens.

This anti-government resentment has culminated in the nomination of a Secretary of Education with no experience in public schooling. The ideology that she and Republicancontrolled legislators and governorships bring throughout the nation is a desire to dismantle public funding for higher education. This will not only reinforce a series of harmful barriers on children seeking more fulfilling lives; it will hinder society from reaching a higher level of economic, cultural and scientific accomplishment.

Making public education a target for “fiscal reform” is a deeply misguided mistake, especially when considering the massive benefits that college education confers to students and societies.

Economic studies have repeatedly confirmed the benefits that come from some type of higher education, including anything from vocational training and trade schools to fouryear degrees and doctorate programs. Lower unemployment, higher salaries, better scores on happiness and fulfillment indices and more secure family and friendships can all be

linked to higher education.

The economic benefits of a citizenry with specialized education are also vast.

A research institution like the UA, for instance, provides a constant stream of scientists who become top researchers in the hugely beneficial fields like medicine, pharmacy, optics and astronomy. The college’s philosophy program also prepares students for professions in legal advocacy and civil service. The Fred Fox School of Music ensures appreciation for music and artwork that any civilized nation must encourage.

Larger investments by our local, state and federal governments to ease the burden of student tuition will lead to intergenerational dividends. To denounce it as “unsustainable” is not only incorrect when economic factors are considered; it’s also inconsistent. Consider the trillions of dollars our nation has put toward military conflicts and financial bailouts without considerable debate over the dubious benefits they brought to society.

For private students and the public at large, increased investment in education is both a moral imperative and an economic no-brainer.

AHCA coverage has been murky at best

BY TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat

I

heard all kinds of things about the American Health Care Act, so I wanted to find out for myself what it really is. There is a problem, though: I can’t really figure it out. The bill keeps many popular aspects of the Affordable Care Act while giving it a conservative spin.

Children will still be allowed to stay on their parents’ coverage until they are 26, and pre-existing conditions are still covered.

However, it eliminates the individual mandates the Affordable Care Act required, meaning that Americans will no longer need to choose between buying insurance and paying a fine. Some unpopular parts of the bill include that it will end the expansion of Medicaid and allow insurers to charge senior adults five times more than young adults.

Going beyond the basics, though, navigating through new websites to find information about the bill is quite disorienting. There is so much focus on generating an emotional response and little on presenting a big picture of the bill.

How can a curious college student learn what is actually going on in Washington without being told how to feel by partisan news websites? Without spending hours deciphering the actual text of the American Health Care Act, most people will likely be

swayed one way or the other without really knowing what is going on.

I typed “GOP Healthcare Plan” into Google so I could research the bill. I went down the list of sources, reading, but became frustrated because I was chased all around the internet trying to answer the new questions that each article left.

Many articles, for example, cited the Congressional Budget Office’s report that 24 million fewer people would be insured under the GOP plan.

On CNN, I read that these people were being “thrown off” of insurance. I couldn’t find any information for why the bill led to less people insured, though. I came up with a few reasons why this might be true.

It could have been because without the requirement to have insurance 24 million people were expected to opt out of insurance. It could have also been because 24 million people would no longer be able to afford coverage.

My opinion would swing in or out of favor of the bill depending on which guess, if any, were true.

Many Americans have been appropriately enraged knowing that fewer Americans would have insurance if this bill became law. However, I feel like leaving the number hanging, without the answer for why, swings popular opinion away from the bill without truly presenting the full case.

Tax cuts to the wealthy was another common theme through the stories.

Again, I had this piece of information, but

AHCA COVERAGE, A14

You heard right. Tylenol + alcohol = potential liver damage.

Tylenol (known generically as acetaminophen) is a popular pain reliever that is effective in reducing fevers and quelling mild to moderate pain.

Emergency rooms have recently seen an alarming increase in liver toxicity, caused by the interaction of alcohol and acetaminophen.

In fact, it’s estimated that 39% of all liver failure is caused by acetaminophen. If you have 3 or more drinks daily, and take acetaminophen, the combination can prove toxic to your liver (which works to process toxins for you), even with short term use. The recommended maximum dose is no more than 4000 milligrams of acetaminophen a day.

Signs of liver trouble include dark urine, yellowing of the eyes and/or skin, persistent nausea and/or vomiting, abdominal pain, and excessive tiredness. This

combination of symptoms should lead you to seek medical care ASAP. Over 600 products contain acetaminophen. Common “overthe-counter” (OTC) medications with acetaminophen include Alka-Seltzer Plus Liquid Gels®, Dayquil®, Excedrin®, Midol®, Nyquil®, Robitussin®, and Theraflu®. Acetaminophen is also found in many prescription drugs, including Vicodin, Percocet, and or course, Tylenol #3. It’s important to know what you are putting in your body, since any drug can have negative side effects.

Is there an alternative to acetaminophen? Yes! Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen work well for pain, and, although some people experience stomach irritation, these OTCs are not associated with liver toxicity.

Best hangover cure? Lots of water and time. And, read labels carefully if you need to take pain meds.

T

he live-action remake of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” has been under fire for including an openly gay character.

There’s a scene where LeFou, Gaston’s best friend, is singing about Gaston, which people might think is him expressing his sexuality, but it’s really more like him expressing how great his best friend is.

Another scene shows LeFou dancing with a woman, but then another man butts in and dances with LeFou. The “gay moment” lasts all of two seconds.

In an interview with Attitude magazine, director Bill Condon talked about the gay character, LeFou. “LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston,” Condon said of the chracters’ relationship. “He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realizing that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it. And that’s what has its payoff at the end, which I don’t want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.”

Actors of the original “Beauty and the Beast” movie said LeFou was always gay.

No article equipped me with information on what the tax cut actually entails. It could have been a few different things.

Under the bill, a tax credit for health care would be given to Americans based on age. Thirty-year-olds can receive up to $2,000, while older Americans can receive up to $4,000.

On average, Americans aged 65 years or older are 47 times wealthier than those 35 years and younger. If older Americans are more likely to be wealthy, is this what has been denounced as the tax break on the rich?

Again, I do not know the answer. However, knowing if this is the tax break or if there is

original movie. Piece also said that what might have made people think otherwise is that in the original movie, LeFou gawks at female triplets.

“The rest of it was all gay bro wingman,” Piece said.

Several movie theaters around the world have either banned the movie or restricted the audience for the movie.

A theater in Alabama was so shocked and appalled by the thought of a gay Disney character that it banned the movie from playing.

In Russia, it classified the movie as a film for “adults only.”

In Malaysia, it won’t play the film unless the “gay” scene is edited out.

In Kuwait, the movie was pulled for edits as part of their censor.

This is only the second time Disney has had characters represent or identify with the LGBT community.

In a Disney XD episode of “Stars vs. the Forces of Evil,” titled “Just Friends,” there is a scene where a boy band was playing a love song and all of the concertgoers in the venue are kissing, including a few same-sex couples. It’s surprising that there wasn’t any controversy about that episode and an uproar about this film.

I saw the movie on its premiere day with the knowledge that the character, LeFou, is gay. It didn’t bother me. In fact, his character made the movie more enjoyable.

The actor, Josh Gad, portrayed LeFou so well. As for the “gay scene,” I didn’t find it offensive or overly sexualized. It seemed more like a subtle hint. The scenes with Gaston and LeFou were very PG, just like you’d expect from the romantic scenes of any other Disney movie.

The controversy over the “Beauty and the Beast’s” gay character is uncalled for. another tax break that more explicitly favors wealthy people, would change my opinion of the bill.

Americans overall do not like the American Health Care Act. The news loves to tell how Democrats don’t like it because it changes important aspects of Obamacare, and Republicans don’t like it because it is too like Obamacare. Though, I wonder how many people from either side really understand the bill and how many others have been swayed by scary, but relatively empty, facts.

I do want to have an opinion on this issue, but it looks like for now I will need to read the actual text of the bill and the Congressional Budget Office’s response.

Until a news site is dedicated to providing a deep and full look into issues, readers should be wary of the questions that news articles do not answer so that they will not be swayed by manipulated information.

March 21: big science through history

BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

The date of March 21 has seen its fair share of notable scientific events through the years.

Among them, a lunar exploration launch and a search for a missing scientist.

Henry Morton Stanley begins a search for Dr. David Livingstone On this day in 1871, journalist Henry Morton Stanley left for Africa to find missing scientist and explorer Dr. David Livingstone, a Scottish doctor and missionary who set out on a twoyear mission to find the source of the Nile River and, after over five years, had not returned or been heard from. Stanley set out on assignment from James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the editor of the New York Herald. After eight months, Stanley

triumphed over a variety of tropical diseases and the deaths of many in his expedition. On October 27, he entered the village of Ujiji, on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania. There, he found Livingstone, who was still trying to complete his mission, ill and out of funds.

Livingstone refused to return, determined to find the source of the Nile, and so Stanley returned with the story of the missing scientist.

Livingstone died 18 months later in modern-day Zambia, without completing his mission.

Frenchman Henri Farman achieves landmark in aviation On March 21, 1908, Henri Farman used a Voisin 1907 biplane to set an official record for distance in the world of aviation. He was the first to fly a complete circuit of two kilometers on a closed course, and would go on to set many

more records in the following years, as well as open an aviation school and manufacture his own line of planes with his brothers.

The United States launches Ranger 9 unmanned probe to explore the Moon At 9:37 p.m., March 21, 1965, NASA launched Ranger 9, the last of the Ranger series, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Ranger series was designed to explore the moon and image the crater Alphonsus, looking for recent volcanic activity.

Ranger 9 drastically improved scientists’ understanding of the moon’s mass and returned many photos of the moon’s surface.

Three days later, on March 24, Ranger 9 returned to Earth. The data it brought back lead to the discovery that the moon’s center of mass is actually displaced from its geometric

center, different than previously believed.

Supreme Court rules that the government cannot regulate tobacco as a drug On March 21 in 2000, the Supreme Court ruled that the government lacked the authority to regulate tobacco as an addictive drug.

The decision was far from unanimous. Five justices—Sandra Day O’Connor, William Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas—formed the majority, deciding that the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act did not allow the FDA power over tobacco.

The other four justices—Stephen Breyer, John P. Stevens, David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—formed the dissent, disagreeing with the majority. This ruling was eventually overturned by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009.

KANYE WEST PERFORMING AT Lollapalooza in Chile in 2011. A student developed a program capable of producing Kanye-like verses.

This week’s science headlines

BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

So far this week in the world of science features a rapping robot and a giant chicken. Keep reading to find out other things you may have missed in the week of March 20.

Artificial Intelligence can rap like Kanye West West Virginian high school student Robbie Barrat created an AI program that can rap like Kanye West, and he did it on a dare in just a week. The 17-year-old is part of his high school’s programming club, and when he said he believed AI could complete tasks better than humans, the club challenged him to prove it.

Taking on the very-human field of music, Barrat used open-source code and 6,000 Kayne West lines to build a program that mimicked a neural network in a human brain. The program can now actually write original lyrics with semi-accurate pauses. Barrat is working to refine the program further.

Welcome, Spring March 20 was the spring equinox, meaning spring is officially here. There are two equinoxes per year, which are points where both the Northern and Southern hemispheres receive exactly the same amount of daylight. Usually, due to the Earth’s tilt, the amount of sunlight each hemisphere receives is uneven.

However, regardless of the date, places like Tucson are already into temperatures in the mid-90s, while the East Coast continues to get snow and ice.

Food for thought: compost into tires?

Researchers at Ohio State University have devised a way to turn food waste like tomato peels and eggshells into a replacement for petroleum in rubber, making products like tires much more sustainable. This new method not only makes the rubber stronger; it doesn’t reduce the flexibility, a problem that occurred in previous attempts to find petroleum alternatives. Right now, 30 percent of every tire is composed of petroleum filler, so the replacement could be big news for the planet. There wouldn’t be a shortage of eggshells or tomato peels either. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said nearly 100 billion eggs and about 13 million tons of tomatoes are consumed by Americans each year.

Myth busting: huge chicken seen in viral video is real A video of a larger-than-average chicken shook up Twitter this week, with many people calling fowl on the size of the bird.

However, the Brahma chicken is a type of domestic chicken that does grow much bigger than most birds. Brahma chickens can weigh up to 18 pounds, though most don’t get much heavier than 12 pounds.

These massive birds originated in China and were recognized as a breed in the U.S. by the American Poultry Association in 1874.

Brahma chickens are sometimes called “The King of All Poultry” for their size—a welldeserved title, as the birds are also quite hardy in cold climates, produce large eggs and can provide ample quantities of meat compared to their smaller yardmates.
