The search for the 22nd president of the UA is beginning to wind down. Yet, nobody outside those serving on the search committee know anything about the candidates.

There are fewer than 20 presidential hopefuls left in the search and discussions with prospects for the position began Thursday and continued on Friday.

Bill Ridenour, chair of the search committee, expects the committee to forward at least one name of one prospect to the Arizona Board of Regents for selection.

The university could have a new president as soon as early March, according to Reidenour.

Nevertheless, no information about candidates has been released.

It is becoming increasingly common for search committees to keep information about the prospects confidential throughout the process.

According to Lynn Nadel, chair of the faculty serving on the committee, the conventional wisdom is that confidentiality is required.

“The way things work now, anything other than a closed process up to this point would have been counterproductive,” Nadel said in an email to the Daily Wildcat. “At this point we are vetting prospects, not yet candidatesmany of whom might have to withdraw their tentative interest if the search were open.”

Committees or boards that use confidential practices in presidential searches generally use variations of the same reasoning: It will hurt the reputation of candidates, scare off the most qualified people and the person the university needs will potentially just go to the private sector to avoid public scrutiny.

“Public searches are not going to attract the best candidates,” Ridenour said.

Still this logic hasn’t convinced everyone.

“We wish it could have been more public since

Petition to change red tag laws circulates UA Students are circulating a petition to have the Tucson City Council address vague and ineffective red tag laws, citing decibel levels and occupancy as potential issues

BY SHAQ DAVIS @ShaqDavis1

More than 790 people have signed a petition in hopes of it reaching Tucson City Council for reconsideration of how “red tag” law is enforced.

The red tag program was created in 2007 and used to create environments where safe behavior is the norm.

According to the Dean of Students office website, “The program is designed to diminish extreme misconduct that places students and university community members at risk.”

The purpose of the petition created by Clark Knobel, a junior studying political science, is to find at least one city council member to stand for the change to the law.

He was inspired to create the petition after reading a Daily Wildcat report on red tag citations. Over half of the 172 issued citations were given to residents within 2.5 miles of the UA between August 2015 and May 2016.

“Were trying to get more than 1,000; I’d say like 3 to 5 thousand signatures,” Knobel said. “Then I want to present it to city council with what we want changed to the law, and the goal is hopefully get one city council member to back the actual change [requested in] the petition.”

The main problem described in the petition is the thoroughness of the law.

When dealing with what “unruly” noise truly is, Knobel said no set standard has been described.

“What we’re trying to do right now is stop how ambiguous the law is,” he said. “Because the law right now is written in a way that a police officer can basically go to any house and deem what that noise level is.”

The students would be able to understand the law if city council works to

change how noise is specifically dealt with, according to Knobel.

“It should be clear this decibel limit breaks unruly violations and have a very clear decibel limit from a certain distance from the house.”

The Dean of Students office policy states, “The ordinance defines it as a gathering of five or more persons on any private property in a manner which causes a disturbance of the quiet enjoyment of private or public property by any person or persons.”

Disturbances included disturbing the peace to excessive noise and traffic.

Knobel said the law should also take into account that most houses on campus have close to or over what the law states.

“There needs to be more than five people because most college students live with more than five people currently,” Knobel said. “You should not have more rights for having less roommates.”

Javier Strickler, a junior studying physiology, described how he received a red tag when he arrived back to his fraternity house after almost five hours at a campus library.

“Specifically for this day there was no party, there was no gathering, just guys painting and power washing,” Strickler said. “We had some music but it was in our parking lot and I don’t know the peace we were disturbing or why they had to follow through with it.”

He said the police didn’t hesitate to find a current resident to give the citation he received. “That was the most bizarre scenario I’ve ever heard of for the red tags,” Strickler said.

The “red tag” citation comes with a $500 fine and a maximum $1,500 penalty with three or more tickets. The red tag will stay on the location for 180 days signifying

a lockdown of the location. Because student conduct is involved, the Dean of Students office will be notified and can discipline students if the office deems the code violated.

Those receiving the citation, as Strickler did, have 10 days to contest the citation, or 15 days if the red tag was sent to the residence by mail.

Strickler filed a written contest to the citation and received the court date a month and a half later.

The appeal worked out in his favor because Strickler said the video evidence didn’t accurately portray what warrants a

red tag citation. Also, he said the neighbor who called in the complaint mixed up all her information.

“The judge was just not buying the whole case,” he said. “The person that complained was saying everything wrong, so my attorney just called for it to dismiss and it did.”

Knobel said the changes to the law would help an overall understanding of proper conduct.

“We’re trying to make them more student friendly and actually have clear communication between neighbors and people if they choose to throw a party,” he said.

ABBY JOHNSON EXPLAINS THE different labels people can identify by at the Transgender 101 presentation on Feb. 18. Johnson said that everyone has a gender identity and surgery does not define who someone is.

Transgender 101: Familiarizing Tucson with its trans citizens

BY KELLY DORNEY @DailyWildcat

The Southern Arizona Gender Alliance, hosted an event to familiarize attendees with the transgender community of Tucson and struggles they face.

The Transgender 101 event on Feb. 18 opened with statistics about the injustices faced by the transgender community, followed by personal stories about the lives of transgender individuals.

Andrea Carmichael, a first-time guest speaker for SAGA, spoke about realizing her identity late in life. Carmichael was born into a conservative Christian home where the word “transgender” was only used in the context of sin.

“A theme in my story is overcoming shame,” Carmichael said.

Years passed with Carmichael lacking outlets to explore her gender identity. She met a woman, got married and had two children.

Carmichael then became an overseas Christian missionary.

“I did my best to live a normal, cisgendered life,” Carmichael said.

After moving to Arizona, Carmichael began soul searching and seeing a therapist. In this time she struggled with the idea of telling her wife for fear of breaking her marriage.

“It’s hard because I didn’t want it to end, but had a choice of: Do I be true to myself and risk ending a marriage that’s nearly 25 years old, or do I try to go back in a closet and suppress it.”

Carmichael eventually told her wife on a weekend trip to California, and their marriage dissolved that same weekend. Shortly after, the Christian organization that employed Carmichael became aware of her transition and pushed her out of her job. She has now gained new employment as a fully out transgender individual.

Tucson is home to a strong transgender community and a growing number of organizations that work to support disenfranchised communities.

“I’ve met so much acceptance and that’s what I love about Tucson,” Carmichael said. “I know it’s not a perfect city and not everybody is wonderful, but this is a city where I can live freely as who I am.”

Diana Thacker, a regular presenter for SAGA, also shared her story at the event.

Thacker was born in the South, which she explained “set the tone for being different.”

As a teenager, Thacker joined the military to get out of the town she grew up in and ended up in Oklahoma City. It was here Thacker met her wife and later opened up to her about an interest in crossdressing. Thacker’s wife was extraordinarily accepting of the idea.

Thacker continued to crossdress for years without identifying as a transgender individual. The realization she was transgender came years later through therapy and self-reflection.

“I don’t know if you know about crossdressers, but they don’t crossdress fulltime for three years,” Thacker said.

Thacker’s wife remained by her side, accepting her transition fully. The company Thacker worked for never questioned her decision, and Thacker was later promoted to a manager position.

“I’ve got the good story,” Thacker said.

Transgender individuals still face increased levels of violence and disadvantages in the workplace. In 2016, 23 transgender individuals were murdered in the United States. Abby Jensen, the vice president and general counsel for SAGA, recognized this as the highest number ever recorded. Additionally, the transgender community faces higher levels of unemployment and underemployment.

“We all have to give up the right to decide who someone else is,” Jensen said. “If you are not sure, ask.”

Jensen hopes to change societal perspective by educating others and getting them to ask questions about the transgender community.

“It’s not a choice, it’s a recognition of who you are,” Jensen said. “You knew it too, it’s just that no one told you that you were wrong.”

PRES SEARCH FROM PAGE 1

we’re a public university,” said Stephanie Choi, co-director of Students for Sustainability.

Some worry if this decision is made behind closed doors that there could be issues that the committee overlooks.

“By having an open vetting process it can eliminate problems that the hiring committee misses,” said David Cuillier, director of the School of Journalism and an authority on the freedom of information. “I think it’s a big mistake to make such an important decision in secret.”

The faculty were provided access to a survey that, according to Ridenour, had over 600 respondents and was used to help the committee determine what to look for in the next president.

However, students did not have any similar survey or way to participate in the search. Some students have wondered about the extent to which they could have been involved.

A few students, mostly the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, have had indirect and sparse involvement with the search. There is one undergraduate student and one graduate student actually serving on the committee.

“My job is to give a student perspective,” said Vianney Careaga, student regent on the search committee and UA political science student. “I think the committee and the board, likewise, do an excellent job in helping the students advance their voice.”

However, Careaga said he hasn’t talked to any student group other than ASUA. “I haven’t had the time recently due to my school schedule,” Careaga said. “I’ve been hoping to do that within the near future once we have more information that can be publicly released about the search process.”

However, according to Ridenour, there will probably not be any more discussions with constituency groups, and because of confidentiality, the committee does not intend to release any information publicly. The only way this could change is if the board isn’t satisfied with the finalists presented to them.

The other student on the search committee, graduate student Sarah Netherton, also met with student government.

“Early on I did meet with GPSC to see if they had any feedback and made myself available for conversations with students or any other university community member at any point in the process,” Netherton said.

However, according to Netherton, her role on the committee was not as a constituent representative. Instead, she was chosen “to represent the best interests of the university.”

Students involved with the different organizations on campus have been left with nothing but questions regarding the search.

“Whoever is going to step into this position has a lot of power to change what’s going to happen to our futures,” said Robert Johnson, Tech.Global developer at the UA. “I’m looking to grad school and this puts me on edge. What am I to expect?”

Other students are uneasy at the lack of information released by the search committee.

“That kind of speaks for itself, how little students know about it in the first place,” said Cole Pihl, co-director of Students for Sustainability. “It seems so closed, and that’s very frustrating.”

The process to find a new president kicked off in July 2016, not long after current President Ann Weaver Hart announced her decision to let her contract expire. The first search committee meeting took place in October.

The search committee consists of 26 volunteer members with a large showing from the business community. There are also five regents, a small group of UA administrators, two students and three professors.

“The search committee is large and we purposely put on a number of people from the Tucson community that were either in business or non-profits,” Ridenour said. “We did this so that the community and the business community would have an input into the search.”

Members of the campus community would have liked to see more student and faculty involvement in the search.

“The most concerning thing about this process is the number of business people and non-academics on the search committee,” said Jasmine Sears, director of operations of Innovate UA and administrative vice president of GPSC. “They could put more students and faculty on the search committee. That way the UA is better represented when choosing our next president.”

According to documents released by the board, the next president will have to be someone with notable achievements in higher education, who understands the need for research investments, has a new vision for the UA and has remarkable business judgement.

Still, the committee may be at odds with students and faculty about the chief qualities they would like to see in the finalist.

“Because of the horrible cuts that the state has made, revenue generation has got to be a critical skill,” Ridenour said.

Yet, many faculty and students would like to see a president that will focus on the academia over the business of the university.

“While I understand that a university has to be profitable to continue to run,” said Jude Udeozor, president of GPSC. “I think I would rather have a candidate who does not treat the university as entirely a business, but [as] a system that educates students and prepares them for reallife problems.”

For some, the distinction between someone who can operate a business and someone who can operate a university is particularly important.

“A lot of people in the state of Arizona think that a CEO has all the skills you need to run a university, and as a student here, I strongly disagree,” Sears said.

Others said the most important aspect of the next president is commitment to scholarly work.

“The next leader of the UA should be a real academic,” said Steven Schwartz, chair of the Committee of Eleven, a UA faculty committee.

According to Ridenour and the guidelines put out by the board, the committee has placed an emphasis on making sure the next president has an academic background with considerable experience in higher education institutions.

There is a fear that the closed process could create skepticism and doubt.

“The way to rebuild trust is to have an open, transparent process,” Cuillier said. “To do it in secret not only could lead to a bad decision, but could also lead to mistrust.”

The committee maintains that keeping the process confidential is the right choice.

“We decided we’re very comfortable with the approach that we’re taking,” Ridenour said.

Grocery shopping On Feb. 9 around 7 p.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from a UA employee reporting grand larceny.

The professor claimed that items had been stolen from his vehicle that he parked at 1217 N. Fremont Ave. at 1 p.m. earlier in the day.

He reported that one door on the vehicle had been propped open and one window left with a slight crack. The UA employee reported that he had purchased groceries that were left in the vehicle but only two items were missing. One item was a charging cable for the iPhone that the employee valued at $30 and a bottle of fish sauce that he valued at $5.

He stated that there was garbage all over the floor of the car as if someone had taken all the trash that was in the side compartments of the doors and thrown it about. A victim’s rights form was sent and the UA employee decided to pursue charges if the property is found.

Dorm room weed woes A UAPD officer responded to a call made by a resident assistant at the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall on Feb. 9 at 11:11 p.m. concerning a suspicious marijuana smell on an unnamed floor of the hall.

When the elevator doors opened to the unnamed floor the UAPD officer noticed an increased smell of marijuana in the hall.

While conducting a search, the UAPD officer came across a resident coming out of a room where the smell was strongest. The UAPD officer contacted two other individuals in the room. When the officer asked if he could enter the room, the occupants obliged.

The officer questioned why the room smelled like marijuana and the occupants claimed that they had smoked earlier but not in the room.

The officer requested that if they had any more, they turn it over.

The occupants then provided the officer with a grinder, a small red bong and 0.5 grams of marijuana in a plastic bag.

After the three individuals were read their Miranda Rights, they admitted to each chipping in $5 for the gram they purchased.

Two of the occupants claimed ownership of the grinder as they had also gone half on that purchase. The two were not placed under arrest but their possessions were confiscated and a report was sent to the Dean of Student’s office.

The cosmetology board has decided not to continue its investigation of Juan Carlos Montes de Oca

BY AURORA BEGAY @DailyWildcat

M

any people have the luxury to go to a salon and get their hair styled and cut. It’s a luxury that most people enjoy doing, especially with keeping up a good appearance. However, homeless people don’t have this luxury.

They don’t have the privilege to maintain their appearance.

When KOLD News 13 shared a story about Tucson cosmetology student Juan Carlos Montes de Oca was under investigation by the AZ State Board of Cosmetology after giving free haircuts to the homeless community.

Gov. Doug Ducey took a stand and wrote a letter to the board demanding that they stop their investigation.

In the letter, Ducey says that he found it “moving and inspirational” and that what Montes de Oca is doing with his efforts and talents should be encouraged

and celebrated. He also said that the investigation was “outrageous.”

When Montes de Oca found out about the support from Gov. Ducey, he told KOLD news, “I love that he finds my story moving and inspirational because I find him very inspiring as well,” Montes de Oca said.

According to a Draft Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the AZ State Board of Cosmetology website: “Sec. 15. Section 32-557, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read: 32-557. Services for the public; restrictions A. Students may render services to the public only under the direct supervision of an instructor.”

It’s not certain if this was proposed before the investigation started, but if so, it’s just a proposal for now.

It shouldn’t be put into effect until it’s been approved and set in stone. Even if there was a rule about practicing outside of the school setting, it should be the school’s responsibility to emphasize this.

The point of being a student, especially in a field such as cosmetology, is to practice and be involved in the career you’re pursuing. Montes de Oca was using

The deportation of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos

BY CHUCK VALADEZ @DailyWildcat

A

campaigning Donald Trump said “We will terminate the Obama administration’s deadly non-enforcement policies that allow thousands of criminal aliens to freely roam our streets,” last year in Phoenix. It looks like he has now decided to enforce his policy—maybe for the first time in Arizona—on the 35-year-old mother of

two Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos.

Guadalupe came from Acámbaro, a city in the southern corner of the state of Guanajuato on its border with Michoacán, and at the age of 14 she found herself crossing into Arizona from Nogales. She married her husband, also an undocumented immigrant in Arizona, and they had two children, Jacqueline and Angel. Guadalupe’s first run-in with the law was under the Obama administration in 2008 at Golfland Sunsplash a water park at which she worked in Mesa, Arizona.

Her arrest was during one of many raids ordered by the self-proclaimed “America’s Toughest Sheriff ” Joe Arpaio.

The Daily Wildcat Editorial Policy Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

Guadalupe was arrested, along with many other undocumented immigrants, for using a fake Social Security number. Ever since that day eight years ago she has been required to attend ICE meetings.

Guadalupe, who was aware of what might happen after Trump was elected, went in to have her regular meeting with ICE after she attended mass on Feb. 8. She walked in with an attorney and surrounded by a group of volunteers from Puente, Arizona that morning and was not seen the rest of the day, until that night. When she was being loaded into a van to be taken to an unknown location.

The want of a better life for family, giving to their children what they never

had, isn’t that what every parent wants for their children? How can this country go on to punish hard working people instead of trying to help them? What has happened to “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free?” Are these no longer the values of the United States?

This country has changed, especially in recent weeks. We find ourselves in a hate-fueled country, with mosques being burned to the ground and mothers being torn from their children. The zenophobia of the newly appointed leaders of this country is a far worse crime than an immigrants willingness to sacrifice it all for family.

Resistant bacteria challenge medicine While 2017 may bring unpredictable biological threats, one thing can be counted on: antibiotic-resistant bacteria will prove increasingly challenging

BY HANNAH DAHL @Hannah_Dahl715

Thousands of people around the world battle disease, infection and bacteria each year. The 2013-2016 outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus took its toll around the world. Last year, the Americas saw the rise of the Zika virus. What are we going to be hit with next?

While scientists might not be able to predict exactly what the next epidemic is going to be, they can analyze current trends in bacteria and viruses. This year, antibioticresistant bacteria are on their radar.

“Some of the bacterial threats weren’t necessarily a problem before, but due to gene exchange and antibiotic resistance are now becoming bad,” said Michael D. L. Johnson, an assistant professor of immunobiology.

Megan Smithey, a research assistant professor of immunobiology said because bacteria can replicate themselves without having to rely on a host cell, it is usually easier to develop drugs for them, as opposed to viruses.

There are several ways bacteria can develop a resistance to antibiotics.

Johnson said usually when bacteria die, they leave their DNA behind. This DNA can code for things like mutations in a specific protein that will cause the bacteria to be antibiotic-resistant once it is shared.

Another way bacteria can develop a resistance to antibiotics is by replicating their DNA as messily as possible.

As humans, we want to be very careful with the way we replicate our DNA so we can avoid things like cancer, but bacteria are just the opposite, according to Johnson.

Replicating their DNA this way actually gives them an advantage.

“They [bacteria] can be purposely sloppy with how they replicate their DNA in an attempt to overcome an antibiotic or a small molecule or even our own immune system,” Johnson said.

He said while antibiotic resistance has grown in the last ten years, the production of new antibiotics hasn’t.

The main reason for this is that creating new antibiotics is very expensive, according to Smithey.

He said the payoff isn’t good enough for pharmaceutical companies to research new antibiotics, unless there is enormous pressure to do so.

“If someone has cancer, you can give them a drug and they’ll be on that drug maybe for the rest of their life, but if you give somebody an antibiotic, then it’s over, it’s like one shot,” Johnson said. “So you’ve put all your resources into a drug that you can sell once versus a drug that you can sell a hundred times.”

This can prove especially challenging for researchers tasked with the job of developing new ways

to combat these bacteria. Johnson said it ends up being a resource game.

He said once researchers do discover something, they don’t have the resources necessary to ramp up the antibiotics they’ve found, he adds.

“What everyone wants is the magic bullet or cure, but it’s essentially impossible to develop those things without very basic biologic research,” Smithey said. “There’s a lot of steps that have to come before we can deliver the therapies that everyone gets excited about.”

Research funding tends to follow whatever the current epidemic is, leaving basic biology research in

the background.

Smithey said there is a lot scientists who still don’t know about basic biology, and so people can’t create an antibiotic without a knowledge of the bacteria’s basic functions.

He said this is the “unsexy part” of scientific research.

“There’s a limited amount of resources that scientists have to study bacteria and viruses,” Johnson said. “We have to go after the ones that are grabbing the most attention or causing the most harm.”

However, antibiotic research isn’t being entirely ignored.

Johnson’s own research focuses

on studying copper, a material that is toxic to bacteria. Because bacteria can’t grow on copper, Johnson is trying to figure out how to create a vaccine that will both kill the bacteria and prevent it from developing a resistance to the drug.

“There’s a lot of interesting research being done, looking at some of the antibiotics we have right now and basically chemically engineering them to have a better effect,” Johnson said.

He added that despite the bacteria’s best attempts to outsmart the antibiotics, as scientists they are doing their best to keep up.

Rain fails to steal Tucson Rodeo’s thunder

BY SARAH COVEY @DailyWildcat

Each February, La Fiesta de los Vaqueros, commonly known as the Tucson Rodeo, rides into town and stirs up the spirit of the Southwest, lassoing in fans and competitors from all over the country.

Saturday marked Tucson’s 92nd rodeo and began the nineday festivities with fans arriving clad in rain gear and leather boots, undeterred by the rainy weather.

With clouds looming overhead, it seemed like a day that would chase away spectators, but attendees kept holding tightly onto their ponchos as rain pelted contestants and the Tucson Rodeo Grounds.

Event chairman Jose Calderon said, while he admired the outstanding loyalty of the fans, the rodeo suffered financially from the weather with an attendance he estimated to be at 4,000, in comparison to what he normally sees at about 11,000 spectators.

“We really need this; each day that goes bad, it’s a hit below the belt,” Calderon said, referencing low food and beverage sales. “It’s a big impact because this is a million-dollar rodeo.

It takes a million to run this thing.”

With the smell of kettle corn greeting fans at the gates, the rodeo kicked off with Ram Mutton Bustin’, where children ages 4, 5 and 6 put their riding skills to the test, clinging to running sheep for as many seconds as they could muster before crashing to the ground.

Though no serious injuries happened at the event as a result of the rain, one of the most climactic moments

occurred after the downpour, when a large black bull broke loose into the arena.

The bull had been circling the rodeo pen, thrusting at photographers and volunteers outside the ring. The bull then crushed the top of the fence, sending all of those standing close to run. The crowd was enthralled as rodeo clowns worked to distract the bull and riders had to pursue it through the stadium, roping it back into the pen.

Other highlights of the day included the Justin Junior Rodeo, bull riding, team roping, barrel racing and bareback riding.

Chase Hamlin, a 24-year-old bull riding competitor from Holton, Kansas, said he thought it was a good rodeo, despite the unexpected wind and precipitation.

“At home, it’s 75 degrees and sunny and beautiful,” Hamlin said. “I was expecting warm weather when I got here, but today was good. It was just another rodeo, and it’s not so bad if you’re not nervous.”

Another competitor, 20-year-old bareback rider Rio Lee, didn’t let his enthusiasm dampen in Tucson’s rough conditions. He said slippery ropes made the competition more challenging.

“It got real cold and it started raining when I got on my bareback horse,” Lee said. “You have to make sure your stuff stays dry. It’s harder to ride in the rain because your hands don’t stick well, the rains it makes it slick.”

Danya Peterson, 46, came to the rodeo from Southland, Texas, with her two girls and her husband, a horse flanker for the rodeo. Peterson said they braved the rain for a little while, but eventually had to retire to stay dry.

“It was cold, but it was well-[run],” Peterson said. “The

hardy ones stayed out there. We stayed out but then called it quits. We thought we were coming out here to defrost, but it didn’t work.”

Michael Reeves, a 62-year-old Phoenix resident, said the rain drove people away when it came down hard, but the rodeo was still welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

“You don’t have to be totally into it to get into it,” Reeves said. “You go and you experience it, and it’s a very familyoriented kind of thing. You will not find nicer people or more spiritual people than cowboys. They’re good people, and normally this is better. Normally the weather is fabulous the whole 10 days.”

Veterinary student Brianne Taylor, 30, from Fort Collins, Colorado, said to not let Saturday fool first-timers and the real rodeo energy would come later in the week, following the rodeo parade.

“People should come back next weekend,” Taylor said.

“There’s a change in energy. It’s that last push to do really well.”

The rodeo wrapped up with fans heading home or to the rodeo-hosted Coors Barn Dance, bundled in coats, ponchos and straw hats.

Tucson Rodeo carries its tradition from 1925, according to the rodeo’s website, and the event is headed by the Tucson Rodeo Committee and the Tucson Rodeo Parade Committee, non-profit groups consisting almost entirely of unpaid volunteers.

Tucson’s Rodeo will continue all the way through Sunday, Feb. 26, with one of the biggest highlights, the Tucson Rodeo Parade, beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23.

The Loft pays tribute to late music icons The Loft Cinema hosted a sing-a-long in tribute to late musicians Prince, George Michael and David Bowie where event attendees could sing along with iconic music videos

BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat

Prince. David Bowie. George Michael. Three trendsetting, beloved music icons who revolutionized the music industry with their meaningful lyrics and catchy sounds. Each man had a distinctive flair and style that drew audiences to him and his music. Each of these three musicians was well-loved by the public, garnering masses of fans.

In 2016, we lost many musicians.

Among the losses were Bowie, who we lost Jan. 10, 2016, followed by Prince on Apri 21, 2016, and finally Michael Dec. 25, 2016. Fans all around the world mourned the losses of each. Just recently, Prince and Michael received tributes at the Grammys.

In Tucson, The Loft Cinema, located at 3233 E. Speedway Blvd., decided to host its own tribute to these three men in the form of a singa-long on Saturday, Feb. 18.

Twenty-three original music videos for Prince, Bowie and Michael’s songs were shown on the large screen in the venue with lyrics provided in subtitles onscreen for the audience to sing along to. Glow sticks were also provided for the audience to wave during the show.

“This sing-a-long is really born out of our love of David Bowie, Prince and George Michael,” said Jeff Yanc, the program director at The Loft Cinema.

Yanc said The Loft Cinema puts on a “Purple Rain” sing-a-long each year, and also holds a “Labyrinth” New Year’s Eve party each year.

“We’ve never had George Michael onscreen, so it was kind of a great chance to do that,” Yanc said. “These are just three music artists that I really love, and so, [this was] just a great chance to tribute them and do something celebratory rather than kind of a downer.”

Crowds of people attended the sing-a-long and the small venue was nearly filled with the three musicians’ fans. The ages of the audience ranged from people in their 60s to young children; fans old and new watched the music videos and sang the lyrics to the songs they loved.

“These are three of my favorite singers of all time,” said event attendee Lee Cauble, who is recently retired. “And we brought my granddaughters and their friend, and my daughters here. It’s

EVENT ATTENDEES ARE DRESSED as the musicians at The Loft Cinema’s “The David Bowie, Prince and George Michael Sing-a-long!” on Saturday, Feb. 18. The event paid tribute to the three late musicians and their music.

a pretty special night for us; these singers transcend generations, so it doesn’t matter how old you are, you can enjoy Prince, Bowie and George Michael.”

A few people even came in costume as Prince, Michael or Bowie. The Loft Cinema held a competition for best costume for each of the three musicians.

“I’m here tonight to celebrate all of the art and all of the gifts that the three artists being portrayed has given to us over the years,” said Andre Rivera, a computer network engineer who dressed as Prince at the event. “It’s not being sad about what was lost, it’s about being happy with what we have.”

The Loft Cinema’s tribute began with “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince & The Revolution, for which the

audience indeed went crazy. People shouted and many stood up to dance as they sang; hardly anyone sat down for the remainder of the night.

“Rebel Rebel” by Bowie followed, and then came “I Want Your Sex”

by Michael. Many other popular songs by these artists graced the screen during the night. Prince’s “Little Red Corvette” and “When Doves Cry,” among others, were played. Bowie’s “Heroes,” “Modern Love” and “Space Oddity” were also played. Michael and Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” “Careless Whisper” and “Everything She Wants” were also played.

The songs were arranged in no particular order, leaving the audience uncertain of what was next until the song title appeared onscreen followed by its music

video. Each song was accompanied by singing and dancing from audience members.

“This entire tribute tonight means so much to me because I essentially grew up listening to these beautiful artists’ music, so it was the script of my teenage years,” said Melinda Cromeens, an administrative assistant at a behavior health organization.

Nursing student Cindy Monroy said she attended the event because she’s a huge fan of the artists.

“They are like the soundtrack of my life,” Monroy said. “When Prince passed away, it affected me so deeply I couldn’t even explain it. So, just to be here and to keep his legacy alive, his memory alive, which it will never die of course, but this is just so fun. [Prince] was all about bringing

people together and not judging and love—David Bowie and George Michael as well. That’s why I’m here and it’s going to be super fun.”

The overall feeling of the venue was nostalgic and filled with a vibrant energy; everyone participated in the sing-a-long. The night ended with Prince’s “1999” as The Loft employees threw streamers across the room and green circular lights strobed across the ceiling, walls and screen.

Prince, David Bowie and George Michael changed the lives of many of the audience members.

“I can identify each and every time of my life and attach it to every single one of these guys,” said audience member Meredith Cohen, a therapist at the state prison. “It’s the story of my life, right up here.”

Arizona takes down the Huskies for 25th win For the sixth time in eight years, the Wildcats won their 25th game of the regular season under Sean Miller

BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports

Shorthanded and playing against a Washington team desperate for a win, the No. 5 Arizona Wildcats overcame the Huskies late in the second half 76-68 to complete the road sweep.

Freshman Lauri Markkanen earned his second doubledouble of the season with 26 points and 13 rebounds including 7 offensive rebounds.

When Markkanen plays well, the outcome has a tendency to be positive, but playing without two starters gave Arizona difficulties down the stretch.

Center Dusan Ristic was out for Saturday’s matchup with a sprained left ankle he suffered in the first half against Washington State. The last time Ristic missed a game was his freshman season at Washington State during the same week of the season.

Kadeem Allen was a game-time decision with a dislocated finger and dressed out, but never got in the game.

“On Tuesday of this week, his bone popped out of his skin,” said head coach Sean Miller. “We thought we lost him for the year...

From what I’m told, he’s full-go for next week.”

Allonzo Trier got the party started with a pair of 3-pointers in a span of less than two minutes in his Seattle homecoming.

After Arizona led the Huskies 17-9 in the first half, Washington was able to scrape its way into making it a competitive matchup behind Noah Dickerson’s 8 points. However all around, Matisse Thybulle’s 8 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and zero assists gave the Huskies a spark.

It was needed, because the bulk of potential No. 1 NBA Draft pick Markelle Fultz’s points came from free throws.

Although Dickerson attacked Arizona’s frontcourt early on, Markkanen picked up where he left off Thursday and scored 18 points on 7-for-9 shooting from the field and 8 rebounds.

Normally a threat from 3-point range, Markkanen didn’t take a shot attempt from beyond the arc and went 4-for-5 from the free throw line Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who came off a career-high performance of 20 points Thursday, showed more confidence from 3-point land going 3-for-3 from deep. JacksonCartwright had 9 points and 3 assists in his second game starting for Allen. He was also able to get in the lanes to cause disruption for Washington’s David Crisp.

“I can’t say enough good things about Parker,” Miller said. “He did a great job defensively and hung in there.”

Both teams showed sloppiness, especially Arizona late in the first half with five turnovers and allowing Fultz to score the final 7 points of the half to tie it.

The Wildcats came out in the second half and fed Chance Comanche in the post to push a 5-point lead, but Arizona had no answers for Fultz.

Previously when they met, Fultz scored 16 points on 23 shot attempts and was guarded

by Kadeem Allen. Trier guarded Fultz for majority of the game, but no matter what, he found his way to the bucket.

Fultz scored 15 of Washington’s 19 points between the conclusion of the first and start of the second half.

What is usually known as Arizona’s kryptonite, Miller utilized a 2-3 zone defense that benefitted the Cats in the second half.

“Going zone in the second half, which is something we seldom do, you don’t really know if that’s going to work or not,” Miller said. “In my mind, it changed the tide of the game and I give our players a lot of credit, because we work on it everyday...

For the most part, we knew what we were doing.”

Comanche, who was given the nickname “Chief ” by ESPN’s Bill Walton, was active early in the second half of his first career

start at Arizona. In the first 12 minutes of the second half, Comanche posted 6 points on 75 percent shooting, but he also held Dickerson to just 2 points in that span.

Markkanen was still Arizona’s most productive player all around, but Trier took over the second half. Trier gave Arizona a nine-point lead with a doubleclutch SportsCenter top-10 nominee dunk.

Trier and Markkanen were the leaders for Arizona, but Washington continued to hang around and it appeared to be another game where the Cats would take it all the way down to the wire regardless of opponent.

That was primarily from the lack of bench production and with two starters out, the Wildcats only scored two bench points from Kobi Simmons who went 1-for-9 from the field.

Overall, the game held a roller coaster tempo as both teams combined for 25 turnovers, but it

was also a game of execution and the Wildcats simply capitalized in areas Washington couldn’t.

For one, Fultz showed NBA readiness with 26 points, but the freshman went 10-for-15 from the free throw line missing crucial free throws that could’ve changed the outcome of the game. Washington went the final 4:41 without hitting a field goal despite trailing 69-66.

Arizona saw life without its starting senior and Miller said he deserves to win defensive player of the year after seeing how the Wildcats play without him.

“If he’s not defensive player of the year or at least top-five defenders in the Pac-12, I’d be really surprised,” Miller said.

It wasn’t the prettiest game Arizona played all season, but the productivity from Markkanen’s 26 points and Trier’s 21 points proved to be just enough to give the Wildcats their 25th win of the season and focused to the final set of home games, which

includes one of the marquee games of the college basketball season on Saturday.

ESPN’s College GameDay announced Saturday that the location for their show on February 25th will be hosted in Tucson. No. 5 Arizona takes on No. 6 UCLA in a matchup that has both conference and national ranking implications. It is the first time the Wildcats have hosted College GameDay since February 21, 2015 when Arizona hosted UCLA. Both schools have been highlighted on College GameDay six times and four of those matchups are head-to-head with each other. Arizona sits at 25-3 (13-1 Pac-12), two games ahead of UCLA (23-3, 10-3 Pac-12) in the Pac-12 Conference and a victory over the Bruins would secure Arizona’s place ahead of them in the Pac-12 regular season. The game tips off on Saturday, February 25th at 6:15 p.m. MST in McKale Center.

No. 25 GymCats lose third conference meet

BY SYRENA TRACY @syrena_tracy

The No. 25 Arizona women’s gymnastics scored season highs but suffered injuries as well during Sunday’s meet in Seattle against the Washington Huskies. The GymCats were defeated by the GymDawgs 197.175 to 195.425.

The GymCats started off on the uneven bars, their strongest event this season, with senior Krysten Howard who performed her piked jaeger with stuck landing, earning a 9.750. Sophomore Haylie Hendrickson performed a solid routine with a double layout dismount ending with another stuck landing for a score of 9.850.

Junior Victoria Ortiz soared over the high bar as she performed her Tkatchev with a double back tuck dismount with a stuck landing to earn her a new career high of 9.950.

“It felt amazing,” Ortiz said. “I was just doing my job, which is what I train in practice everyday. Being able to have my teammates back is exactly what I wanted to accomplish.”

Arizona had the lead going onto vault, but scores remained low throughout the rotation. Senior Selynna Felix-Terrazas was back in the rotation for the second week in a row and she vaulted a 9.750. Sophomore Lauryn Mattson had great height and distance off the vault, earning her a high

of 9.825. Sophomore Skyler Sheppard was injured during her landing on vault, causing a possible knee injury.

The Huskies caught up to the Wildcats going into the third rotation where Arizona performed on floor. Mattson started the rotation landing strong on her double-back pike tumbling pass and finished with her double tuck, earning her a 9.800. Howard showed power in her double back tuck and finished with a double pike, earning her a 9.750. Junior Kennady Schneider finished off the rotation landing her double pike followed by a double back tuck to earn her a 9.775.

Howard started the fourth and final rotation on beam where she earned a 9.850.

Hendrickson brought everything she had onto beam, ending with a stuck landing and earning her a new career high of 9.875.

“I have been solid every day in practice, and that helps to build my confidence Hendrickson said. “It feels amazing being able to put everything together and have my teammates’ backs. I was really happy.”

Schneider finished the rotation with a solid beam routine ending with a stuck landing, earning her a 9.850, but it wasn’t enough to catch up to the Huskies and their star performer Hailey Burleson. Burleson had the high score in three of the four events.

“Rising up against adversity seems to be a theme for us this year,” said Arizona head

coach Tabitha Yim. “The will and spirit of this team has been inspiring, and we are proud of the many highlights throughout the night. We will continue to fight and work to get people healthy and into the line-ups to peak at the

end of the year. The best is yet to come.”

The GymCats will be hitting the road again on Saturday, Feb. 25, to take on No. 4 UCLA in Los Angeles at 2 p.m. MST. The meet will be shown on Pac-12 Networks.

Arizona baseball looking for series sweep Monday

BY ROSS OLSON @rossolson95

The Arizona baseball team continued its recent offensive surge Sunday afternoon, and the Widlcats cruised to an 18-4 seriesclinching victory against Eastern Kentucky at Hi-Corbett Field.

The game came 24 hours after the Wildcats beat the Colonels 16-13 in a five-hour marathon.

It was a hit parade for the Wildcats who rode the bats of J.J. Matijevic, Mitchell Morimoto, Jared Oliva and Cameron Cannon who went a combined 11-20 with two home runs, nine RBIs and 11 runs. Alfonso Rivas also went 3-3 with four RBIs and three runs scored.

Arizona wasted little time getting on the board as it scored five runs in the first inning. Matijevic hit an RBI double, Cesar Salazar drove in two with a single, Oliva knocked in one with a bunt single and Cannon singled in a run of his own.

The Wildcats added two more in the second after Matijevic launched a home run to dead center after Rivas doubled to lead off the inning.

“He couldn’t really command his off-speed [pitches] and I knew that,” Matijevic said. “I went up there looking fastball and I got it on the first pitch and just stayed nice and slow and ended up doing what I did.”

In the fourth inning, Cannon tripled in Oliva and then scored on a single by Louis Boyd, which

brought up Morimoto who crushed a two-run home run to left, putting the Wildcats up 13-2.

Arizona added to its lead in the fifth when Rivas came up with the bases loaded and hit a threerun double to right field.

After using seven pitchers in Saturday’s win, the Wildcats needed a solid performance out of their starter, Rio Gomez, who gave them just that.

The left-hander went five innings, allowing two earned runs, three hits and he struck out six.

“He got us off to a good start,” Johnson said.

“I thought after yesterday it was important and I thought he got a little tired at the end but a lot of strike quality, had three pitches working for the most part and did exactly what we needed him to do.”

Gomez was relieved by Juan Aguilera, Ryan Gowens and Preston Price who combined went four innings, giving up one run and striking out 11.

The Wildcats’ offense exploded for 34 runs on 36 hits over the span of Sunday afternoon and Saturday night.

“I think it’s how we’ve scored the 34 runs,” Johnson said. “The first inning today is how you draw it up—a lot of patient at-bats, good two strike at-bats, guys using the whole field, hitting with runners in scoring position, executing. We haven’t thrown away many atbats, which is nice.”

The Wildcats will finish up the series against

While Johnson said that he is unsure of who will start tomorrow’s finale, he said Gomez’s performance was valuable in the sense of preserving pitchers to finish the series.

“We’re set up great for tomorrow,” Johnson said. “I think Rio [Gomez] really helped us out,

not only in this game but that’ll carry over to the next game and it’s a short week. We’ll be back here on Thursday, so that was a big-time performance from that standpoint.”

After finishing up the series with EKU, the Wildcats will host McNeese State for a four-game set beginning Thursday, Feb. 23 at Hi-Corbett.
