UA delays wage increase, Arizona Student Unions’ employees, students affected

BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120

Arizonans may have seen a growth in their pay because of the passing of Proposition 206, which increased the minimum wage to $10. For some people this went into effect on Jan. 1, however, for Arizona Student Unions’ employees and other campus departments, their raise won’t come until July 3.

On Dec. 2, the Student Union Human Resources Department said they believe they were taking a fiscally responsible approach to the situation on their website.

“I used to work for the union and I know that it’s hard and a lot of work,” said Eden Eaton, a senior studying information science, technology and arts. “It’s convenient to work there but they’re not even paying minimum wage, so that takes away that good side of it. If you can make more somewhere close by, why even bother working for the UA?” Thomas McDonald, chief of staff for UA Human Resources, said the student union isn’t necessarily benefiting from the delay, but is instead preventing students from being detrimentally affected.

“It gives us a time for departments to build the increase into their budget,” McDonald said. “Let’s say you have 100 students and then you have to give an increase. Now you can only afford 98 students, you’re gonna have to let two students go if we had essentially decided to move it before the next fiscal year.”

Because the university is a state agency, they are exempt from following the propositions regulation.

According to the UA human resources website, the university recognizes that increasing wages will give them a comparative advantage in attracting and

retaining valuable employees, therefore they are committed to raising it in the future.

“Well at this time the decision doesn’t impact university employees because it exempts state employees,” said Sarah Harper, vice president of communications for the Arizona Board of Regents.

Harper said that implementing the raise would affect many positions on campus— the majority being student workers.

Around 22,000 student workers and 2,000 staff positions at the UA would be subject to the increase in pay, according to Harper.

She said the financial impact of the raise in minimum wage remains under evaluation, and if fully implemented, estimates say the direct costs would be over $26 million for UA. “I am sympathetic to small business owners that may have a hard time dealing with the raise, but I feel like the school can deal with it considering the amount of funds they have coming in,” said Kevin Brinkman, a Scented Leaf employee and biomedical engineer senior.

“I don’t know what would delay the school, and hopefully they have good reasons for it, but its seems like such a big institution would want to stay within the federal rules and help students with living wages,” he said.

Lauren Hammelev, an accounting senior, said she heard about the delay from her friend who was upset about the decision.

“She was upset, but surprisingly, she didn’t mind, because of how convenient her job is,” Hammelev said.

She said she thought the lesser pay might deter some student workers, but despite that, the convenience factor may prevent students from quitting.

“They’ll either lose workers to other places paying minimum wage or their quality of

workers will decrease because people who may not need the money will be the only ones sticking around,” Brinkman said.

Jesse Scott, a Scoop employee and UA sophomore studying biochemistry and molecular and cellular biology, said the delay has caused him to seek new employment off-campus.

“I think it’s causing a lot of people to feel disappointed because they feel they are being underpaid compared to people who are getting paid more to do the same job,” Scott said.

Eaton said she felt the decision has caused anger in employees and is certain many are troubled because some students are paying for living and school expenses.

“They won’t be helped out by the

decision; the student union should want to help them,” Eaton said.

Workers will not see the new rate applied to their paychecks until July 21.

The increase of pay for employees already at or above the $10 per hour will be a local decision, according to the human resources website, and determined by departments if the funds are available and if they wish to adjust salaries. Proposition 206 calls for the minimum wage to be adjusted to $10.50 in 2018; $11.00 in 2019 and $12.00 in 2020.

The student union has not confirmed they will be following those guidelines in the future and as stated on their website, announcements about additional adjustments will be made at a later date by the university.

Obamacare repeal effort creates tensions for students

BY ROCKY BAIER @prof_roxy

As per Donald Trump and some Republicans’ goals, the Senate voted 51-48 to repeal the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 11. This got the ball rolling to begin drafting a replacement health care system.

Main critics of Obamacare argued that its ever-growing premiums and expensive deductibles for the insurers still enrolling people through the act make it necessary to repeal.

Key parts of Obamacare such as the ability for children to stay on their parent’s plan until they are 26, will still be in effect,said Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers in a Jan. 10 press conference.

The replacement plan still has many unknowns.

“The new administration has talked about maintaining that, where the dependents can stay on under parent’s policy until they’re 26, and it looks like there won’t be [preexisting conditions] as well, but they’re not hard facts yet,” said Lori Piper Insurance Program Coordinator for Campus Health.

According to its website UA Campus Health “offers one major medical health insurance policy, which meets the Affordable Care Act requirements.” Requirements include same rates for services for men and women, no one can be arbitrarily dropped from their plan and no one can be denied health insurance due to a pre-existing condition.

“The student insurance is a platinum-level plan, even better than the platinum-level plans that the ACA provided,” Piper said.

Insurance-wise, Campus Health didn’t undergo too many changes with the implementation of the ACA. “We only contract with insurances, we bill those insurances,” said Terri West, Campus Health administrative associate. “I think it’s been pretty much status quo. It hasn’t made any problem with access to care.”

From personal experience, West saw what happened when her children turned 18 before Obamacare was implemented. Before they could be back on insurance through a university, they had to deal with big problems uninsured.

“I’m just thinking for people who don’t have to go through what we had

to go through as a family,” West said.

Stephen Gilliland, executive director for Center Management Innovations in Health Care at the university, said right now the stocks of insurance companies are in a state of complete uncertainty, which the market hates. He expects prices to do bad things until everything is resolved.

“But you can’t rely on the marketplace to set a cost, because people are going to be willing to spend anything if their loved one is dying.

And so the marketplace is simply not an effective economic system that Obamacare did not address, and it needs to be addressed,” Gilliland said.

He said he doesn’t think they’re going to just repeal it without a replacement.

The Arizona Board of Regents Student Health Insurance Plan is in the midst of a Request For Proposal process to continue offering the same level of comprehensive health care coverage for the plan starting Aug. 16.

Director of Medical Services Michael Stilson said while this repeal and replace process continues, no changes are anticipated.

“We will have to see if any changes will be required as a result of a repeal

and replacement of the Affordable Care Act after the conclusion of the 2017-2018 Policy Year,” Stilson said.

Even if Obamacare is not replaced, students can go to Campus Health.

“All students are eligible as long

as they are enrolled in classes,” West said. “And it’s surprising how many students do not know that. We focus on students. That’s our primary goal, the care of students on campus.

Period. Always has been.”

ABOR opposes bill limiting tuition increases

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

The Arizona Board of Regents voted on Jan. 20 to oppose SB 1061, a bill proposing to cap tuition and fee increases at two percent per year at the state’s public universities.

The bill was co-sponsored by nine Republican state senators and one Republican state representative and would significantly restrict the power of the regents and UA to set tuition and fee costs for students.

UA tuition increased 3.2 percent between the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school year, more than the 2 percent cap proposed by the bill.

“Students and families have real concerns about tuition and the board shares those concerns,” said Greg Patterson, the regents’ Chair, in a press release.

The bill, which Sen. Sylvia Allen introduced Jan. 12, would not allow regents to approve any increase in resident tuition and mandatory fees larger than two percent a year based on the amounts set for the 2016-2017 school year.

“This is nothing against the universities, this is me focusing on what it is going to cost for students and families to educate their child,” Allen said. “I want predictability for these families.”

The bill also prevents funds gathered from tuition and fees from being used to fund a separate foundation or non-profit.

Eileen Klein, board president, said she understood and shared concerns to the legislatures on college affordability.

“The [regents’] concern was more about the bill itself,” Klein said. “The regents oppose any efforts to regulate tuition in a blanket approach.”

Allen chairs the Senate Education Committee and said she wants an open conversation with the universities and received the inspiration for the bill from Northern Arizona University.

“I am a person of compromise and am open to making this bill even better,” Allen said.

The regents began their conversation on the bill by reaffirming their commitment to keeping tuition low and affordable for in-state students.

“On behalf of students and families, we’ve worked hard to slow tuition increases and put in place innovative programs that create greater tuition predictability,” Patterson said.

Over the past few years, the regents have increased student involvement and transparency in the tuition-setting process.

At this time, the university presidents are constructing their recommendations for tuition increases. The recommendations will be released to the public before the regents begin discussion.

“I am concerned that a bill of this nature would undo all the significant work we’ve put in place,” Patterson said.

During the recession, the universities increased tuition by double-digit percentages, Klein said. Over the last few years, the regents have worked to slow the increase in tuition.

“Tuition should continue to reflect actual needs of the university and students,” Klein said.

The bill codifies a tuition guarantee for undergraduate students so students will pay the same tuition and mandatory fees they paid their freshman year for four consecutive years.

“The regents feel, ultimately, that we need the flexibility to be able to keep the reforms in place that we have made,” Klein said.

According to UA President Ann Weaver Hart,

HEATHER NEWBERRY/THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE ARIZONA BOARD OF Regents voted to oppose SB1061, which would limit how much the board can increase tuition. If passed, tuition increases would be limited to 2 percent per year.

the university is 85 percent tuition-funded. A lack of flexibility in tuition-setting policy on a year-to-year basis could result in a budget shortfall if state funding decreases.

“At a time of a crisis everyone has to chip in and reduce,” Allen said.

Klein said since the regents voted to oppose the bill, the UA and the other public universities can now lobby the legislature to vote to reject the bill.

After Gov. Doug Ducey’s endorsement of

the regents’ new student funding model, Klein is optimistic the regents will have a successful session lobbying at the capital.

According to Klein the regents will fight every single day until the budget closes to push their current momentum to obtain more funding for students.

The bill was referred to the Senate Rules Committee and Senate Education Committee on Jan. 12 and received its second floor reading Jan. 17.

Pima awards contract to improve PACC facility

BY DAVID PUJOL @deathlydavid

The Pima County Board of Supervisors decided on Jan. 17 to approve a contract for $16 million to Sundt Construction to begin construction for a new Pima Animal Care Center facility, which will break ground as soon as February.

The current PACC facility will remain operational while the new one is being constructed. The approval of new facility was made possible by the voters of Pima County who supported and voted on Proposition 415 on Nov. 2014, which allocated bond funds for the new facility.

“This new facility gives us an opportunity to improve and enhance our care of the animals that are currently with us and those in the future,” said Justin Gallick, the executive director of community engagement at PACC. The new PACC facility will be constructed just east of the existing facility on Silverbell.

When construction on the new facility is completed, the animals and staff will be

moved to the building.

After finishing the new facility, Sundt will also begin working on the improvement, remodel and partial demolition of the old facility in an effort of improving what is already there.

Construction of both phases of the shelter are expected to be completed in 2018.

“I think it’s great that there is a new PACC facility being built,” said Hana Ensley, a sociology senior and dog owner. “I know that dogs don’t have a long time at the shelter, before they’re put down.

The PACC houses thousands of canine friends, with a large portion of those being strays or animals who were relinquished by their owners. The facility also cares for a large number of cats, and many of the animals have special medical needs or conditions requiring extra attention.

“Sixteen million, wow, that’s a lot of money, but it’s a great idea for the animals,” said Yongliang Yang, a dog owner and a junior studying communications and

POLICE BEAT

BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120

Too drunk to notice the floor booze On Saturday, Jan 22, a University of Arizona Police Department officer arrested a student for underage drinking, and diverted two other males for the same reason.

Upon arrival at the dorm, the officer could hear loud noise and smell alcohol from outside the door. As soon as he knocked, all noise stopped.

The officer opened the door to three drunk underage males. The males denied entry to the officer and denied possession of alcohol when the officer clearly saw vodka on the floor next to red solo cups and orange Fanta.

When the officer identified and questioned the males, he noticed one of the males began slumping slowly towards the floor before falling completely.

The officer requested a medical check on the male. The officer retrieved the alcohol. One male told the officer that he drank nine shots.

The officer then arrested cited and released one of the males and escorted him to his room where his roommate kept an eye on him. He arrested one and diverted the other two for being underage and drinking.

“Where’s my lawyer?!”

Two UAPD officers working a residence life patrol on Jan. 22 saw an Uber drop off two intoxicated females. One was helping the other walk because she was having serious difficulties maintaining her balance.

After catching up to them, an officer spoke to the female struggling to walk while the other officer tried to locate the female that helped her.

The first female was clearly intoxicated and disoriented. The officer spoke to her briefly, and once he identified her as an intoxicated minor, he diverted her to the Dean of Students and left her with a friend.

A short time later, an RA told the officer the female was alone sitting in her vomit. She received medical treatment, during which she said she took six shots.

Meanwhile, the second female was also visually intoxicated and was fast to walk away from officers. As soon as the officers ordered her to stop, she ran away from him through the hallways, yelling she wanted her lawyer and refused to answer any questions.

She was put under arrest immediately while demanding she be read her Miranda rights.

The officer determined there was no need to question her anymore. She was also diverted to the dean of students for being an intoxicated minor.

Trump executive orders generate anxiety

BY SHAQ DAVIS @ShaqDavis1

President Donald Trump followed his campaign promises by signing two executive orders for the southern border wall and immigration policy.

The wall The plan is to start construction as soon as possible on the wall across a large section of the 2,000-mile-long border and to limit immigration from several countries with Muslim majorities, including Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Syria.

Many of these countries are facing refugee crises due to U.S. or other foreign intervention.

The executive order for the southern border wall caused Enrique Peña Nieto, the President of Mexico, to cancel his upcoming trip to the U.S. No specific cost details have been announced, but Trump has said Mexico will ultimately pay for the wall, which is estimated to cost upwards of $20 billion or more.

Benjamin Fortna, director and professor of modern Middle East and Ottoman Empire history at the UA, said the planned policies worry him.

“It should concern everybody; not just a question for Muslims, but the way we deal with people who are different from ourselves is pretty worrisome,” Fortna said.

According to the Pew Research Center statistics, the amount of migrants apprehended at the border is at its lowest point in 50 years.

“In fiscal 2015, the Border Patrol made 188,122 apprehensions of Mexican migrants at U.S. borders … the lowest number of apprehensions on record since 1969, when there were 159,376 apprehensions,” said the center’s website.

The Pew Research Center polling of the 4,138 adult members on the American Trends Panel nationwide said 39 percent viewed the new border wall as “very or somewhat important.”

The additional personnel in the executive order are 5,000 border patrol agents and triple the amount of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, which will need approval by Congress.

Fortna said it is encouraging when people stand up and getting involved in their communities.

“If we’re looking for signs of encouragement … local communities and people who are concerned about a whole range of issues—including refugees, immigration, human rights—are people revved up and organized perhaps more than they’ve felt they’ve needed to be in recent years,” he said.

Trump said in an interview with ABC News that the U.S. will keep the people who are succeeding, like the “DREAMers,” separate from the criminals.

“Where you have great people that are here that have done a good job, they should be far less worried,” Trump said. “We’ll be coming out with policy on that over the next period of four weeks.”

The status of immigration Trump signed an executive order that will restrict refugees from entering into the U.S. for a period of time of 120 days, and later places a limit on how many people can enter coming from countries that have a majority of Muslim citizens.

Only 50,000 refugees would be permitted to settle in the U.S., a cut from the previous 110,000 under former president Barack Obama.

economics. “You need to put a lot of money and time into building it, but it makes me happy for the dogs.”

Gallick said the old facility was outdated.

“The current facility was built 60 years ago for rabies control, and we are operating a progressive animal shelter focused on meeting the mental and physical needs of our pets in our care, and this new shelter will be better equipped for the needs of the animals.”

Gallick said.

With the construction of the new PACC facility, staff, animals and visitors can expect a variety of new features to build a better structure and environment for the residents

“He’s already targeted so many different groups, and I think the downfall of it is that he isn’t supporting the people he’s supposed to be representing,” she said. “At the same time I’ve seen so much positivity coming out from people joining together.”

Discrimination is already occurring, like at the UA, and the different policies announced under the Trump administration could fuel that, according to Fortna.

“We’ve seen alarming signs of that on our own campus when some of the dormitories have dumped garbage and thrown stuff onto the mosque next door to them,” she said.

Refugees from Syria and Iraq, among other countries, would also be under more strict vetting processes when attempting to come to the U.S. Melanie Cooley, an organizer with Arizona Welcomes Refugees, said that the policy would hurt U.S. relations.

“This kind of policy hurts our national security; it is counterproductive to say that refugees are intensely and extremely bad,” she said. “To say that we don’t know who’s coming in is a lie. They go through extensive checks.”

She said that it’s better to try to understand the different situations people and their families go through.

When it comes to sanctuary cities, the executive order would deny them receiving federal grants.

Politicians have already spoken out against the act while reaffirming support for sanctuary cities.

Fortna believes that more people on local levels will continue to speak out and connect with one another.

“I would think we’re going to see a big response in terms of grass-roots activity and local activity,” she said.

Hemzawi said she believes in people actively changing negative

“I think it would be really great if the homeless dogs in Tucson would have a longer period of time to find homes, ” said Ensley, who is also the owner of a German shepard/ lab mix named Baku. “I hope that with the new facility that the dogs get second chances.”

Dogs aren’t the only ones getting an upgrade. The cat housing areas are expected to nearly triple in size in comparison to the housing area in the current PACC facility. Cats at the PACC facility take up a fair amount of occupancy at the facility.

“With this new facility we hope to better showcase our pets, keep them in a positive state and healthy, amongst trying to raise adoption rates, and the new shelter overall gives us better abilities to treat and manage pets,” Gallick said.

She wants there to be more literature and awareness programs available to the public at the new PACC facility.

“I would hope that there is just more encouragement and information available to help people understand the importance of spay and neutering, so we don’t have that many animals who find themselves in the shelter,” Ensley said.

Construction for the new PACC facility will soon be underway and hopefully operational

“This new facility gives us the opportunity to highlight our programs and increase the number of adoptions while decreasing the pets’ stay,” Gallick said. “Meaning, they will come in and we’ll process then and then we’ll find homes in such a quicker pace.”

Let’s all dance on daddy Pence’s lawn

BY AURORA BEGAY @DailyWildcat

Last week, LGBTQ activists danced in the neighborhood where Vice President Mike Pence was renting a house.

Protesting and marching usually consists of angry activists wanting to make a change, but these activists were standing in unity having a great time as they danced to popular music. The “Queer Dance Party at Mike Pence’s House,” as it was known on Facebook, came days before President Donald Trump was expected to be sworn into office, along with Vice President Pence.

Pence is well-known for his vocal disapproval of LGBTQ rights. In 2006, he supported a constitutional amendment that would make it clearly defined that marriage be between man and woman.

He then said that being gay was a choice and that not allowing gays to marry wasn’t discriminatory but “God’s idea.” In 2007, he voted against The Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would have banned discrimination against someone’s sexual orientation. Pence also has said that soldiers should not openly identify themselves as gay and rejected the Obama Administration’s directive on transgender bathrooms.

Unfortunately, Pence and his wife were having dinner with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker during the dance party. Though Pence wasn’t home at the time, activists continued to have fun. Joanna Pratt, a neighbor who lives across Pence’s rental home, showed her support and joined the party with her husband.

Who knows what Pence thought about the whole thing.

“We are here tonight to send a clear message to Daddy Pence that we will not tolerate bigotry and hate in our country,” organizer Firas Nasr said to activists. Nasr founded “Werk for Peace,” a queer-based grassroots movement that uses dance to promote peace. The movement started just after the tragic Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016.

MIKE PENCE, NEWLYELECTED Vice President of the United States of America.

Nearly 200 people showed up to the neighborhood party to show their support or to celebrate who they are. Being different is a beautiful thing. Everyone is unique in their own way, and the fact that Vice President Pence can’t accept that just shows lack of judgement. Pence and President Trump would make the perfect couple with his bitter attitude toward the LGBTQ community and Trump’s irrational logic about everything from repealing the Affordable Care Act to the Mexican border.

The LGBTQ community has struggled to keep their presence known and to continue to live their daily life while dealing with backlash and hateful remarks. They stood up for their right

marriage, to adopt, to work, to do anything any normal human can do. The constant battle isn’t over for them.

The fact that they threw a massive dance party and shamelessly danced in front of Vice President Pence’s home, a man they know who outright disagrees with their viewpoints, shows that they aren’t afraid of what anyone says.

The LGBTQ community needs to continue to take a stand. In fact, everyone needs to take a stand. With how quickly Trump has started signing executive orders, it’s time for minorities to take a stand. The LGBTQ dance party last week and the Women’s March this past weekend are perfect example of what

needs to happen, but they need to happen more frequently.

Taking a stand needs to be consistent.

We have to show President Trump and Vice President Pence that we won’t tolerate their hate.

Let’s throw a massive dance party to show our unity, to show that we are in this together and to show that we won’t let hate, discrimination, ignorance and bad judgement take away our right to be who we are as individuals. Right now, it’s important to show love, to show compassion, to show support to everyone.

We all need to love ourselves and everything that makes us who we are.

Rethinking Reality

Our intuitive understanding of reality comes from what we see and experience, but modern physics tells us our world is actually stranger than the one we see, hear and touch every day. We must rely on new ways of thinking and experimenting to probe the principles which underlie everything. Join us as five University of Arizona physicists explain their role in rethinking reality.

ARIZONA GUARD ALLONZO TRIER (35) goes up for a shot during Arizona’s 79-62 win against Washington State in McKale Center on Thursday, Jan. 26.

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

Allonzo Trier entered the game with 15:19 left in the first half to a standing ovation by the McKale Center, faithful during Arizona’s 79-62 win Thursday against Washington State. It had been 326 days since Trier played in front of his home crowd, and for a large portion of the night, it seemed like it.

Moving around the court with trepidation, Trier seemed like he was trying to find his way within a Wildcats team that had gone 17-2 without him.

Balancing the fine line of teamwork and use of one’s own skills can be a very difficult task, but as Trier worked his way into the game, you could see him starting to figure it out.

“It was a great feeling,” Trier said. “It felt like it was an eternity for how long I haven’t

played in there [McKale]. I was really excited; the energy was great and my teammates were really excited, they were happy for me.”

In many ways, Trier’s return to the lineup was symbolized by the Wildcats play on the court against the Cougars. Arizona had flashes of brilliance, much like Trier when hitting his first shot attempt from 3-point range.

The crowd blew up in excitement. The moment they had waited for had finally come the previous Saturday against UCLA, but they were able to see Trier in person and welcome him themselves on Thursday.

The rest of the half didn’t go as scripted as Trier struggled to find his way and finished with 6 points on two-for-five shooting and one-for-four from beyond the arc.

He’d been through a lot the past several months, warranted or not, and was finally able

to let his play do the talking, except it wasn’t translating the way he wanted.

“It was tough,” Trier said. “I love the game of basketball, so i stayed around the game as much as I could. I was always in the gym. I was practicing with my teammates every day. I tried to make an impact in any way that I could.”

As Trier struggled, so did the Wildcats. The Cougars managed to tie the game just two minutes into the second half and battled Arizona to the eight minute mark. Adversity had hit him and his team once again, but this time was different.

The game was in the balance, but Trier’s biggest contribution didn’t come in the form of his own play; it was evident that his effect was in stamina to his teammates. The Wildcats surged down the stretch, extending a 3-point lead with eight minutes left to an 18-point lead with

three minutes left, capped off by a Trier 3-pointer that sent the fans home happy.

“Just like our team, every game that goes by in the next couple weeks you’ll eventually settle in,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “That’s where we are right now. We’re in that settling in process.

Again, [Trier] played a very good game tonight.”

For Wildcats fans, the sight of the team surging toward the finish line, as opposed to collapsing at it, was welcomed.

Moving forward, there are a lot of moving pieces Miller will have to organize, but with five of the top eight teams in the country already losing this week, the positioning is there for the taking if the Wildcats want to grab it.

Much is on the line the next couple of weeks, and a lot of it could depend on the play of Trier—warranted or not.

The UA wants to keep the process of hiring a new athletic director as simple as possible.

Arizona has hired former Athletic Director Cedric Dempsey and former Deputy Athletic Director Kathleen “Rocky” LaRose to assist UA President Ann Weaver Hart in the search process for a new athletic director. The announcement comes on the heels of Greg Byrne’s departure, who served as athletic director from 2010 to 2017.

Dempsey was responsible for hiring legendary coaches Lute Olson and Mike Candrea during his tenure, and LaRose was the first woman in history to be in charge of Division I basketball and football programs.

While some schools hire firms to help make the transition as smooth as possible, Hart is trying to hire someone as soon as possible.

“I will oversee the search and selection of the successful candidate with the participation of many others on an advisory basis,” Hart said via email. “This is the optimal time in intercollegiate athletics to recruit the most promising candidates, and it’s important to take full advantage of this time frame and move very quickly. “ When it was announced that Byrne was vacating his position as athletic director to take over the same role at the University of Alabama, it came as a surprise.

Familiar faces of Dempsey, LaRose could bring deeprooted UA knowledge to new athletic director search

No hero, no angel: The Jay Dobyns story Either on the gridiron or as an undercover ATF agent deeply embedded in the Hells Angels, Dobyns is ‘Tucson’s chosen son’

COURTESY JAY DOBYNS COURTESY JAY DOBYNS

BY MATT WALL @mwall20

Jaybird stepped into a dingy hotel room in Tucson. He stood at 6-foot-1, head shaven and tattoo sleeves on both arms. In this moment, he was a ruthless explosives trafficker, buying pipe bombs from a husband and wife team. When he returned home later, he would become Jay Dobyns, father and husband.

As he completed the transaction, the couple’s daughter sat on the floor watching television.

“I was enraged by their lack of concern for their daughter,” Dobyns said.

Nevertheless, he walked outside and noticed an ice cream truck. Deciding to add a glimpse of enjoyment to the daughter’s life, Jaybird returned to the hotel room with an ice cream cone, and pistols in his face.

“I had my hands up,” Dobyns said. “All I said was, I brought your baby an ice cream cone.”

Welcome to the ATF Dobyns was an all-conference wide receiver for UA. His father brought his family to Tucson looking for work as a carpenter.

“The Tucson community is my home,” Dobyns said. “I cherish the people who live there. They are the people who supported me when I was young and cheered for me as an athlete.”

Dobyns saw much success in an Arizona uniform. The three-year starter graduated as the second-leading pass catcher in UA history and would be enshrined in the Pima County Sports Hall of Fame.

“I had great teammates from every walk of life you could imagine,” Dobyns said. “This brotherhood is formed when you grind and work for each other.”

Two failed attempts at professional football left Dobyns and his football career in question.

“I wanted and believed that I was going to play professional football,” Dobyns said. “I just wasn’t good enough. I have no excuse.”

Despite the setback, Dobyns carried that drive and determination into law enforcement—the Miami Vice life, as he calls it.

“I was drawn to the sexiness of it, to the freedom and rush and assuming a persona and pretending to be someone you weren’t,” Dobyns said. “I was excited about the opportunity to go into that and survive. Make a difference in the communities I worked in for the people who couldn’t or wouldn’t stand up for themselves.”

Dobyns joined the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Infiltration in 1987. He would quickly learn about the not-so-glamorous life of an Dobyns tended to flirt with the dangers of Jaybird. In what would undercover federal agent—the life he calls dirty, nasty and grimy. become known as Operation Black Biscuit, Dobyns became the “Four days on the job, I got taken hostage first person to infiltrate the Hells Angels and shot in the back,” Dobyns said. “After four organization and become a full-patched days of thinking I was entering the land of member, although the Hells Angels disagree.

Stay alive he did.

Dobyns was in luck that day.

Mirror lab aids in telescope construction The Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab uses innovative techniques to construct telescope mirrors for observatories, including the record-breaking Giant Magellan Telescope

BY HANNAH DAHL @DailyWildcat

Chances are you’ve seen Arizona Stadium before. You might have even watched a football game or two while cheering from the student section. But did you know that underneath the east wing of the stadium lies one of the world’s preeminent manufacturers of cutting edge telescope mirrors?

The Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab is currently creating mirrors that are essential for the world’s best telescopes to function, including the under-construction Giant Magellan Telescope, which will be the biggest optical observatory ever built once it is completed.

“The reason for the mirror lab is so the astronomers at the UA can be partners in some of the most powerful telescopes in the world and so they’ll have access to them,” Hubert Martin, project scientist at the Mirror Lab, said. “With that, they can do research most people around the world can’t do.”

In 1980, astronomer Roger Angel founded the lab after inventing a process that would allow him to produce very large telescope mirrors that would also be light in weight.

In order to do this, he made mirrors that were mostly hollow, not solid, Martin said.

In 1997, the lab created its first 8.4-meter mirror for the Large Binocular Telescope.

The lab would go on to create seven more of these giant mirrors for the present day’s cutting edge Giant Magellan Telescope, three of which are already completed with the fourth on its way.

The process of creating these large mirrors is all about detail.

“There are a lot of ironies in the Mirror Lab,” said Don McCarthy, an astronomer

According to Martin, there are two

important reasons why the giant mirrors must be so lightweight.

First, the mirrors can’t be so heavy they bend under their own weight in the telescope.

Second, if the mirrors are heavy then the telescope structure will have to be massive in

UA students walk out in protest of climate change denial

BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @DailyWildcat

Editor’s note: We made a mistake. This story previously began on the cover of our Jan. 25 edition, but the jump on pg. 12 was cut off due to an editorial error and misprint. We apologize to our readers and the subjects of the story.

UA students protested President Trump’s climate change vision outside of Old Main on Monday from 11

a.m. to 1 p.m. Organized by Students for Sustainability and spearheaded by environmental studies and geography senior Diego Martinez-Lugo, who is also chair of the Energy and Climate Committee for SFS, the walkout sought to raise climate awareness and urge the UA to take action in making the campus more eco-friendly.

SFS is a student-led component of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, meant for students looking to improve the UA community through sustainability awareness and advocating for green energy.

The event was part of a national protest organized by 350.org, wherein students from across the country marched out of class to protest President Trump’s climate denial and the UA’s supposed lack of climate change action.

“We’re coordinating this in solidarity with all the other [participating] universities to reject Trump’s climate denial in order to show students don’t support president Trump,” said Stephanie Choi, co-director for SFS. The event was attended by several dozen people,

The walkout is one of many around the country organized by 350.org.

including SFS members and passerby who were pulled in by the event. “We’re trying to urge the UA and President Hart to take action on converting to green energy,” said Sara Bertram, an environmental sciences, molecular and cellular biology and physiology major. Bertram is also the chair of the Environmental Health Committee in SFS. Mary-Madison Philips, a sustainable built environments major and SFS member on the Energy and Climate Committee, explained that they are “trying to pressure the UA to reduce emissions and make the switch to green energy.” Both of these students, alongside numerous others, skipped class to voice their requests. Many participants offered petitions for passersby to sign in support of climate action.

Back in October 2015, the UA signed Second Nature’s Climate Commitment, an agreement to make the campus a more eco-friendly environment. This included reducing carbon emissions and funding research on carbon neutrality and resilience.

As time passed, however, few of the goals listed had been achieved, and SFS saw the need for protests and rallies to urge the UA to take more steps toward environmental protection. While reports have been made on progress, the SFS has found them unsatisfactory.

“I want to see some initiative,” said environmental studies and gender and women’s studies major Rebecca Van Rhee, another SFS member. “They’ve signed the agreement and have done nothing.”

As the event kicked off, MartinezLugo stood up and gave a speech about

climate change and what needs to be done by both the country and the UA. He was followed by Dan Millis, program coordinator for the Sierra Club Borderlands Grand Canyon chapter.

The Sierra Club is the oldest and largest grassroots movement dedicated to protecting the environment and also a partner with SFS. “Climate change is the crisis that everyone needs to act on,” boomed Millis through a megaphone. He urged onlookers to check the twitter accounts @azbeyondcoal and @sc_borderlands to learn more.

After the speech, other students chimed in.

“The students organizing this are passionate to fight climate change,” said math major Ben Champion. “The UA has plans that aren’t robust enough.”

“We want the UA to lead on climate change action and fund research on the subject,” said Remy Franklin, a geography graduate student at the UA who was invited by Martinez-Lugo to attend. “Acting at the local levels is more important than ever before,” he added.

Another of Franklin’s demands was for the UA to divest its endowment of fossil fuel holdings.

“There needs to be student-led movements and a continuance on call to climate action,” Martinez-Lugo said.

He explained how the SFS has been reaching out to UA administrators in order to make more discernible steps toward climate action.

On the subject of Trump’s climate denial, protestors urged onlookers to call U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to take direct action.

As the protest went on, UA President Ann Hart walked past and waved at the crowd.

order to support them.

Martin said to begin building the mirrors, the scientists first must build a mold in a hexagonal shape, similar to that of a honeycomb. It’s this hexagonal shape, made up of 1,700 cells, that gives the mirrors their signature lightweight structure.

Next, the chunks of glass are placed on top of the mold and enclosed in a furnace, which is heated to 1,200 degrees Celsius.

The electric coil heaters in the walls, ceiling and floor heat the glass until it melts and begins to flow through the gaps between the boxes and into the mold, Martin added.

As the heated material fills the mold, a continuous layer of glass forms on the top and bottom.

Once the glass has finished cooling, the boxes are washed out from the middle of the mold, leaving a solid piece of glass with empty spaces where the boxes used to be.

According to Martin, even though it’s hollow, it’s still a very stiff structure because the entire mirror is nearly a meter thick.

This thick structure is essential in preventing the mirror from bending within the telescope on windy days and forming blurry images.

“These mirrors make it possible to do something that never could be done before, which is make a mirror that’s eight meters

in diameter that will hold its shape very accurately in the telescope, so it can always form sharp images,” Martin said.

McCarthy said once the mirror is formed, it will spend the next few years of its life being polished. From start to finish, the building of these mirrors can take anywhere from four to six years to complete.

“The accuracy requirement is so tight you have to get down to an accuracy of about a millionth of an inch. That’s how smooth it must be to be the perfect surface, the perfect shape that would form a perfect image,” Martin said.

But why do these mirrors need to be so massive?

According to Martin, the size of the mirror determines the size of the image you get from space.

If the mirror is large, then you’ll get a very sharp image which will allow you to learn more details about the object or location you’re studying.

Perhaps one of the best parts about the Mirror Lab is that it isn’t just for trained scientists and astronomers; students play an active role in it, too.

According to McCarthy, students with backgrounds ranging from engineering to public health have the opportunity to work at the lab.

Tours of the Mirror Lab are also available to the public.

FRESHMAN BROOKE BLIZZARD WORKS at her desk inside of the KAMP office at Park Student Union on Jan. 25. Students who work with KAMP can create their own radio shows.

Five bands to play for KAMP Presents

BY CHLOE RAISSEN @chloeraissen

KAMP Student Radio is presenting a night of performances by artists and bands curated by Alternative Music Director Colin Bauer.

Five bands will perform on Friday night at the Baha House, with $6 admission.

Bauer, a sophomore studying math, is continuing the tradition started by former KAMP alternative music director Molly Ragan last year.

“I have been blessed enough to carry on the show’s legacy,” Bauer said.

The live concert will host Negro Galacticus from Los Angeles, Twin Ponies from Phoenix, Amateur Hour from Tempe and Tucson local bands Bansheebeat and Newbell.

“These bands are some of the best in the

fucking country,” Bauer said.

The money made from ticket sales will help cover traveling expenses for the bands coming in from out of town.

“Live music is fun as hell,” Bauer said. “It benefits everyone in terms of having fun in a boring-ass city.”

Bauer said Tucson is often overlooked by many well-known Arizonan acts, and with KAMP Presents, he is able to “bring credibility to the underground music scene in Tucson.”

“The future of music lies within the hands of people interested in DIY,” Bauer said.

The interdimensional funk band Negro Galacticus uses each members' unique style to add to their overall funk sound.

Raised by a mother with 40 years of experience in the music business, Steve Francell, a vocalist and guitar player for

Negro Galacticus, has been playing music and singing since he was little.

Francell first learned how to play the piano before moving onto the guitar, which he called his love.

“I make music so I can breathe and feel and translate,” Francell said.

Francell said there isn’t necessarily a message that he intentionally puts into his music but rather it’s the “intention itself” that matters most.

“My intention is really just to try to stretch whatever is in your mind to its limit, within my own limitations,” Francell said.

Another band playing at KAMP Presents, Amateur Hour, released an EP, Mush, through Bauer’s own record label, Warped Your Records.

“You do not need commercial radio and major labels to find new music,” Bauer said.

“They just need a house and a few kids with determination to play music there.”

Within KAMP Student Radio, students are open to leadership roles that allow students to gain practical experience working in the music industry.

“I have been to every KAMP Presents to date and I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one,” said Sebastian Machado, a prebusiness sophomore.

Machado is the Mobile DJ Director at KAMP, and he provides DJ services for parties and gatherings. The mobile DJ crew consists of experienced students directed by Machado.

The KAMP Presents concert will be located at the Baha house at 324 E. Mabel St. Tickets are sold at the door for $6 each, and the show starts at 7 p.m.

RUNNERS PARTICIPATE IN LAST year's Wildcats to the Rescue 5K run on the UA Mall. The event features a race and then a raffle afterward.

Wildcats to the Rescue 5K raises funds

BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie

Anyone looking to exercise, help out a good cause and dress in their finest superhero attire will finally have a place to bring it all together this weekend at the Wildcats to the Rescue 5K. The event takes place this Saturday on the UA Mall by Old Main.

The event was put on in part by Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Academic Initiatives and Student Success and Faculty Fellows.

The race can bring out individuals from the running, charity and superhero communities.

Beyond dressing up like one, you can feel like a superhero at this event by participating, because all proceeds from the run go toward raising funds for the Diamond Children’s Child Life Team.

This is a team through the Diamond Children’s Medical Center at Banner Health that wants to expand health care opportunities for critically ill children in Tucson, and they provide a safe, nurturing environment for these children as they receive the medical care they need. The team supports children and their families as they go through this difficult time.

“This run is an opportunity for UA students, faculty and staff to get together with members of the community to support a cause that touches the lives of many in the Tucson area,” Jenny Kuzmic, fitness and wellness coordinator with Campus Recreation, said.

“By participating in this event, students will hopefully feel a deeper connection with the Tucson community. Additionally, they may find a desire to help beyond the money they donate and actually volunteer with the Child Life Team in the future.”

The run is free to participate in but also has

a suggested donation of $10. Also, participants must pre-register for the run beforehand.

At the event itself, runners can also donate by stocking up on superhero supplies, such as capes and masks, available for purchase at the race so that any last-minute superheroes can prepare to save the day.

Additionally, raffle tickets will be available at the race, with prizes including UA apparel and gift cards to local restaurants. Pre-registered race participants can pick up two raffle tickets when they arrive to the event, and additional raffle tickets cost $1 each or six for $5. Also, participants must be present at the event to win the raffle, which will begin at 5 p.m.

Although some people typically think of running when they think of 5Ks, this is by no means the only option for participants.

Participants can run if they wish, but they can also walk, jog, stroll and roll.

“It’s important for all of us to be a part of

something bigger than ourselves. Participating in a run that benefits the Child Life Program at the Diamond Children’s Medical Center is a way to keep our own life challenges in perspective,” said Katie Maxwell, a senior lecturer in accounting, the director of accounting undergraduate programs in the Eller College of Management and a UA Bookstore faculty fellow.

“The race provides an opportunity for us to gather together and help another part of campus achieve their mission of serving children and families facing a medical issue.”

Check-in for the 5K begins Saturday at 3 p.m., and the race starts at 4 p.m. The first 250 people to check in will also receive a free t-shirt.

Whether you consider yourself more of a superhero, a sidekick, a super villain, an antihero or whatever else can be dreamed up out of a comic book, all are welcome to come out this Saturday to help save the day.

History on Tap blends beer and history The Arizona History Museum is bringing Levin’s Beer Garden back to life on Saturday

BY ISAAC ANDREWS @isaacandone

In the early 1860s, a cold lager was difficult to find in hot, dry Arizona. When Alexander Levin, a Prussian brewer, opened Pioneer Brewery in Tucson in 1864, residents finally had access to local beer.

According to the Journal of Arizona History, in the 1870s, Levin bought more property and developed a three-acre parcel into Levin’s Park, which became a beer garden and vibrant entertainment venue. During its heyday, Levin’s Park was complete with a garden of trees, flowers and vegetables. Visitors could enjoy a bowling alley, shooting gallery, riding stables, a bathhouse, restaurant, dance pavilion and an opera house.

Step back in time to Levin’s Park at History on Tap this Saturday, Jan. 28, from 5-8 p.m. at the Arizona History Museum. The event, organized by the Arizona Historical Society, Los Amigos Inc., and the Arizona Southern Chapter Board Inc., features a historical re-creation of Levin’s Park. Costumed interpretations of three of Tucson’s historic brewers, Alexander Levin, John Spring and George Hand, will also be present.

Sarah Tunnell, the project chair for History on Tap, said Levin’s Beer Garden “was the place to go and to be seen in Tucson at that time.”

Participants can explore the Arizona History Museum while tasting beer from various local breweries. Entertainment includes a performance by the 4th Cavalry SELENA QUINTANILLA/THE DAILY WILDCAT Regimental Band and two talks: “History DECORATIONS ARE SET UP for the History on Tap event at the Arizona History Museum, Jan. 25.
