women’s squad, has also been out-performing expectations. Averaging close to a double-double each night, Reese pulled down 8.7 rebounds and put up 12.8 points per contest in her first dozen games at UA, while clogging the lane with her 6-foot-2 frame. The men’s team has seemingly recovered from a lethargic set of showings in December, the women’s team is rounding into form right before the most important stretch of games of the season. On top of Stanford and Cal, Pac-12 opponents UCLA and USC visit McKale Center in January, promising a slate of important games against schools most of UA’s significant California-based student body is familiar with. This isn’t to say you should ignore or stop watching Sean Miller and his men’s team. We at the Daily Wildcat encourage you to get out and enjoy all of the UA’s varsity sports, but especially this once-in-a-generation Wildcat Women’s Basketball team. Bear Down, and see you in McKale Center soon.

elcome back, Wildcats! As a new year and semester get going, Spring, or what passes for it here in Southern Arizona, is in the air. Here at the University of Arizona, that usually signals the start of Tucson’s favorite pastime not involving a rodeo: March Madness. However, this year, things are playing out differently. In place of a men’s squad who usually reps the ‘Cats in the Associated Press poll of the best teams in America, it’s the women’s squad that’s garnering votes — and eyeballs. The team drew a crowd of 5,006 during the studentless holiday break that saw the ‘Cats pull off an upset victory against in-state rival Arizona State, snapping a four-game losing streak to the Sun Devils. The crowd was the largest to watch a women’s game in over 10 years. Speaking after the victory, head coach Adia Barnes explained how her team went about toppling the No. 17-ranked Devils, and with them, expectations placed on the team. “I have a plan. If we were getting crushed in the nonconference, we wouldn’t have played like this,” Barnes said. “It was a part of the plan because we’re about to play about eight ranked teams in the next couple of
months.” Barnes’ team then bested a 10-2 University of Colorado squad on Jan. 2 and before losing to a tough Utah squad on the road Jan. 6. The Wildcats’ season record now stands at 12-2 overall and 2-1 in the Pac-12, the best start for the squad since the 2011-2012 season. Now that the holiday break is over and students are roaming the Mall once again, it’s time for the student body to get behind the UA’s best current team. With a home stretch this weekend against perennial Pac-12 powers Stanford and California, the level of play should be top-notch. On top of that, the Wildcats boast a legit scoring dynamo, with Aari McDonald, a star-in-the making redshirt sophomore averaging nearly 25 points a game, making her the second leading scorer in NCAA Division I. After the ASU game, Barnes’ said that she “didn’t know anyone in the country that can guard her off the dribble.” That sort of skill led the Pac-12 to name McDonald Player of the Week twice already this season. National and NCAA accolades are sure to follow McDonald’s play at the end of the year. It’s not just McDonald that should have BasketCat fans excited. Freshman forward Cate Reese, the first McDonald’s All-American to play for the UA

On-campus destinations for your new year’s resolutions BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie
The holidays are over, and with a new year come resolutions for making a “new you.” A new year and new semester offer up plenty of opportunities for either improving yourself or hiding your flaws that much better. With such a huge campus, the University of Arizona provides ample opportunity and resources necessary to help you drop that spare tire, quit smoking or learn a new hobby. Be more active Physical activity is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, but with all the stresses of school, sometimes it’s difficult to work exercise into a busy schedule. Fortunately, the UA Campus Recreation Center, better known as Campus Rec — located on the corner of Sixth Street and Highland Avenue — offers classes, trainers and state-of-the-art facilities to help in your fitness journey. According to its website, Campus Rec “collaborates with the university community to offer exemplary facilities, programs and services that inspire participation and engagement.” For those in need of a structured guide for anything from krav maga to spinning, classes abound with activities lead by certified instructors that will help you burn off that last burger from Cactus Grill. The Rec also offers the help of personal trainers, if you are looking to bulk up. If you want to go the DIY fitness route, the basketball courts and fitness center are open from 6 a.m. to midnight on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to midnight on weekends. The pool opens the same hours as the fitness center and courts, but closes at 10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 p.m. on weekends. Visit the Campus Rec website to sign up for classes, intramural sports or to reserve a certain section of the Rec for a special occasion. You can also check out special webcams set throughout the facility to see how busy it is in real time.
GORDON BATES | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE REC CENTER, LOCATED on the corner of Highland Avenue and Sixth Street, is open until midnight on weeknights so students looking to mainatin an active lifestyle can fit a workout into their schedule.
Quit smoking Come on. We all know smoking is bad for us, and that includes e-cigarette use. Juuls and other vaping devices have infiltrated the smoking market, providing a discreet and flavorful way for millennials to get their fix of tobacco or, in some cases, marijuana extracts. Luckily, UA has a resource to help combat these bad habits. If you have a problem or need help with tobacco-based products, go to Campus Health, located in Highland Commons. Campus Health’s website provides links to multiple resources to help you butt-out for good. From over-the-counter and prescription cessation help at the Campus Health Pharmacy to counseling and national help-lines for those struggling with withdrawals, Campus Health can help you escape the costly habit. Get better grades If you didn’t end last semester with your target GPA, resources like Think Tank offer help in math, languages and other courses to even the most academicallychallenged student. For students who need help, Think Tank “is dedicated to empowering UA students by providing a positive environment where they can master the skills needed to become successful lifelong learners,” according to its website. That does not mean they will do your homework for you. Cassandra Hirdes, codirector of Think Tank, said students could schedule sessions with an Academic Skills Tutor through the Think Tank website or by visiting the Think Tank location inside Bear Down Gym. “They can make a plan of when exactly the student can use each of the services by mapping out a weekly schedule,” Hirdes said. “Students can also map out other weekly commitments and activities to account for where their time goes and work on prioritization for their semester.” Individual sessions run $35 per session, but drop-in tutoring is free. Other rates and Think Tank’s four campus locations can be found on Think Tank’s website.
REBECCA NOBLE | THE DAILY WILDCAT
AT THINK TANK, STUDENTS looking to improve their grades or get help with school work can drop in for free tutoring sessions. There are five Think Tank locations throughout campus at Bear Down Gym, Park Student Union, Student Rec Center, Manzanita-Mohave Hall and Coronado Hall.

NEWS | KIDNEY DONATION
UA alum gives another 20 more years to live BY LEIA LINN @leialinn24
Years after graduating from the University of Arizona, Daily Wildcat alumnus Bryan Hance gave more than just college memories to his friend, fellow alumnus Tom Collins – he gave a kidney as well. In 2006 Collins was diagnosed with a degenerative kidney disease, according to the Arizona Mirror. Collins’ disease forced him to start kidney dialysis, an artificial way to remove waste, maintain chemical levels in the body and control blood pressure. According to the National Kidney Foundation, the average life expectancy for a patient on kidney dialysis is five to ten years. Collins was supposed to stay on dialysis until he found a match on the kidney donation list. The average wait for a deceased kidney donor is three to five years, according to Collins. After seeing Facebook posts from Collins’ family, a story in the Arizona Republic and posts circulated through the UA Journalism Department, Hance began the journey to see if he could be a donor match. After learning that he was a perfect match for Collins, Hance said he decided to donate his kidney. “I kept putting myself in his shoes again and again and again, and I just kept thinking that if that was me, I would hope that anybody I have ever known or anyone that had any relationship with me or cared about me in any way would step up and try to see if it was doable,” Hance said. According to Hance, many people

were surprised by his decision, because a majority of donors are usually related or very close to the person in need, and he and Collins hadn’t spoken in nearly 20 years. Hance told Collins he was the donor only a week before the surgery. “I was completely surprised that he
offered to donate his kidney. We are Facebook friends, but I hadn’t seen him in person in a very long time,” Collins said. The two reunited before the operation. “I have a real strong bond to everything about that time and the friends I made, even to this day,” Hance
said. “There is still a bond there. People don’t change, we just get kind of older and softer and fatter.” According to Hance, the average life expectancy for a patient with a new kidney is five to twenty years. “For me I was like, ‘oh, I am out of work for four weeks, and now I’m sore, but now this person gets to live another 20 years.’ I’m not trying to downplay it, surgery is surgery, but the benefits are insane,” Hance said. “The amount of life any person can live in 20 years is amazing, and that’s what I’m hoping for.” According to Hance, who regularly eats healthy and exercises daily, the kidney he gave will hopefully help Tom, since it’s “an absolute kick-ass, over-achiever kidney.” “I’m not married, I don’t have kids, I’ve never really given life to anything. It’s just me, and knowing this tiny, tiny part of me is doing crucial things in my friend’s body and it’s gonna let him go so far makes me happy,” Hance said. After his recovery, Collins will be able to resume his life and his career as the Executive Director of the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission. Another fellow alumnus of UA and the Daily Wildcat, Jeremy Duda, reported on the story for the Arizona Mirror after the surgery. “I cover the state capitol here in Phoenix, so there is a lot of U of A alumni around,” Duda said. According to Hance, both men are recovering well and comparing notes with each other. “I would do this again in a heartbeat if it was physically possible,” Hance said. “For this minor inconvenience, my friend gets to prosper and live his life and do great things.”

Science lecture series ‘certain’ to provide new insights The popular series returns to Centennial Hall this spring as the university’s top scientists tackle questions relating to this year’s theme, “Searching for Certainty” BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
For the 14th year, the University of Arizona’s College of Science will present a free two-month lecture series to the public. This year's theme is “Searching for Certainty,” and the lectures will be held Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in Centennial Hall. The set of six lectures will focus on exploring debates in the scientific community and sharing some of the discoveries coming from the UA, according to UA College of Science Dean Joaquin Ruiz. “Now more than ever, it’s important that we talk about the processes and methods that scientists apply to their findings and research,” Ruiz said. “Our lecturers this year from across scientific disciplines will share how the scientific community engages in this rigorous process.” Bo Baylor, director of special projects for UA Science, said themes are chosen SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT based on what a committee sees to JANE BAMBAUER PRESENTS IN Centennial Hall on Monday Feb. 19, 2018 in Tucson at the 2018 UA Science Lecture Series.

SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT
LAST YEAR’S LECTURE SERIES, “Humans, Data and Machines,” covered topics such as self-driving cars, big data and algorithms. This year, lecturers will delve into dark matter, global warming and measuring intelligence while “Searching for Certainty.”
Jan. 29, Joellen Russell, associate professor of geosciences, will share her experience as an oceanographer using robots to measure climate in “Climate and the Deep Blue Sea.” Next up is Donata Vercelli, professor of cellular and molecular medicine, on Feb. 12. Vercelli will explore how microbes are sometimes misunderstood in “The Microbes Shaping Our Lives.” The fifth lecture will be Feb. 19. In “The Mind-Body Dialogue,” Katalin Gothard, a professor of physiology and neuroscience, will share how changes in the body can affect the brain and how understanding biological signals can be used to understand health and disease. Feb. 26, Anna Dornhaus, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, will present “Can Intelligence Be Measured?” and discuss if intelligence should be seen as a set of independent problem-solving modules or as a singular, generalized skill of innovation, according to the UA Science Lecture Series website. There is an added component to the lectures this year as well, in the form of shared video podcasts of the special educators’ courses, led by John Pollard, assistant dean in the Honors College. “[In the courses] local teachers meet with the series’ speakers to ask indepth questions about each lecture and share ideas about how to apply learning from the Lecture Series in
their own classrooms,” Baylor said. This year, the lecture series is funded by the UA Office for Research, Discovery and Innovation, Tucson Electric Power, the Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice, the Arizona Daily Star, Canyon Ranch, Cox Communications, the Galileo Circle, Godat Design, Holualoa Companies, the Marshall Foundation, Nguyen & Tarbet Patent Law, Raytheon, the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, Tech Launch Arizona, the UA Honors College and Visit Tucson, according to the College of Science’s website. In the past, Baylor said lectures have filled Centennial Hall to capacity, but luckily there is overflow seating available and technology has also helped expand the lectures’ audience. “Thanks to Arizona Public Media, the livestreams go out to thousands of people across Tucson and the rest of the world,” Baylor said. “We hope to continue to expand that audience this year — but across all of our past YouTube videos and podcast views, more than half a million people have seen one of our lectures in the last five years alone.” Centennial Hall is located at 1020 E. University Bvld. While the lectures are free, parking for a fee is available in Tyndall Avenue Garage at 880 E. 4th St. Additionally, lectures will be livestreamed by Arizona Public Media and will be available as a podcast or video on iTunes U, YouTube and Arizona Public Media.

achy breaky tooth
GO GREEK INFO FAIR
A hangover is to be expected after a night of drinking, but one UA student ended up with something a bit more serious: missing teeth. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was driving along Mountain Avenue on Dec. 13 at approximately 1 a.m. He was near the Pi Beta Phi sorority house when he saw the student fall face first onto the ground. The officer noted in the police report that the student was unaccepting of his assistance, repeatedly saying she was fine. On the student’s face, running from nose to chin, was a large scrape. The student repeatedly told the officer that she had knocked out her front teeth, and the officer noted broken teeth on the ground. He told her that medics from the Tucson Fire Department were en route. The officer had her sit on the curb, as she reportedly appeared deeply intoxicated. She spoke with slurred speech, though the officer noted that he was not certain if this was due to her intoxicated state or her missing teeth. According to the officer, the student exhibited mood swings, sometimes cooperating and sometimes reacting with hostility. When he asked the student for identification, she took all the items out of her purse, including what appeared to be a California driver’s license. When the officer inspected it, she tried to take it back and confessed it was a fake ID. The card displayed a date of birth that would indicate her age as 21. In reality, the student was only 20 years old. Medics arrived and assessed the student’s condition. She protested, saying she was fine, and attempted to walk away — however, she fell once more. The medics decided to take her to the hospital for additional testing, possibly for head injuries. The officer was unable to officially interview the student, reportedly due to her uncooperative behavior and unwillingness to talk. However, the student did speak briefly with the medics, saying she had been drinking, though she did not know how much she’d had. The officer cited and released the student on charges of Minor in Possession in Body and Possession of a Fictitious ID.
blue light stop A female UA student’s morning walk to Starbucks became less about java and more about jeopardy after a man began to follow her on Dec. 12. According to the police report, the student was on the way to the Starbucks on University Boulevard when she noticed a man walking behind her on Fourth Avenue. While it initially appeared to be just a coincidence, the student reported she knew something was amiss when this man, whom she did not know previously, said “hi” to her. He continued to follow her as she made her way to Starbucks. When the student reached her destination and entered the Starbucks, the man stayed outside. After a while, he came inside, approached the student and asked for her phone number. The student refused to give it to him. The man went back outside but did not leave. Instead, he stood outside the Starbucks and stared at the student through a store window. The manager of the Starbucks noticed the man’s behavior and asked him if he was okay. The man did not respond to the inquiry and walked away. After the man appeared to leave, the student left the Starbucks and began to walk towards the UA campus. It was then that the man once again followed he as she walked. Ahead of her, the student noticed a Blue Light Emergency Phone, which she used to call UAPD. According to the student, the man then quickly turned around and walked away. However, the student reported that she again saw the man, this time standing in the Women’s Plaza of Honor across the street. He eventually left campus, walking west along University Boulevard. At approximately 8:15 a.m., a UAPD officer arrived in response to the call and spoke with the student, taking her statement. While the two were talking, another UAPD officer made contact with someone who matched the student’s description of the man on the corner of University Boulevard and Fourth Avenue. The corporal ran the man’s name through dispatch and found out that he had been issued an Exclusionary Order from campus in the past due to his history of propositioning women for sex. According to the report, at the time of the incident with the student, the man was in a program to treat this type of behavior. After the student positively identified the man as the same one who had been following her, the officer gave her a ride to her home. The officer then returned to the man and issued a 12-month Exclusionary Order.

TAKEN IN SEPTEMBER 2018, this photo shows both Tumamoc Hill’s gorgeous views and its cracked roads. The roads will receive new pavement during late January 2019, the first time in over two decades.
New year, new roads for Tumamoc Hill BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
Starting in late January, the 1.5-mile road up Tumamoc Hill will be repaved for the first time since the early 1990s. Tumamoc Hill is an 860-acre ecological reserve that houses the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill, an institution for ecological research since 1902. It is owned and operated by the University of Arizona. “The road has served the walking community, the people who use the hill for exercise and also services the research community who use the desert lab buildings, [but] the roads have gotten into bad condition,” said Ben Wilder, director of Tumamoc Hill. Pointing to large cracks and potholes as hazards, Wilder said the entire process is slated to take about two weeks. Starting Jan. 22, the road will be closed while the old asphalt is broken down to make a new road bed, then paved over. “We’re not widening the road, because it’s a National Historic Landmark and the entire site is protected, so we have to work within the footprints,” Wilder said. “However, there will be a stripe added a third of the way across the road, so there’s a clear designation of people and cars to help with the traffic.” The project will cost $200,000, according to Wilder. Half of that cost is being covered by the UA, and the other half will be raised by a crowdfunding campaign. Of that remaining $100,000, Edith Sykes Lowell and David Lowell are providing a dollar-for-dollar match up to $50,000, Wilder said. “Edith is one of the great granddaughters of one of the first scientists [on Tumamoc] who actually built many of the buildings up at the lab,” Wilder said. “There’s a really awesome connection there.”
“
The Lowell family has donated to the UA in the past, including support for the LowellStevens Football Facility. As of Jan. 7, the crowdfunding campaign is 60 percent of the way there, with more than $26,000 raised from 95 donors. The campaign is hosted on the UA’s crowdfunding platform, meaning the full cost of the project is also shown. Community members who donate at least $25 can become a “Friend of Tumamoc”, according to Wilder. The new program will help engage community members with regular updates about what’s happening on Tumamoc Hill, as well as invitations to special events and lecture series. “We have thousands of people who walk Tumamoc Hill who love the site and care for it, and in the past there has not been a lot of opportunities for the community to interact … or contribute to the stewardship of the site,” Wilder said. “They want to contribute.” While the two-week closure is inconvenient, Wilder said in the bigger picture, it’s a small amount of time to strengthen the road for the next 20 years. “We’re calling it the road to Tumamoc’s tomorrow, it’s about the road itself … but it’s really the first piece to a bright future,” Wilder said. “[This is] paving the way to do our expanded projects.” Those future projects include a visitor center at base of the hill, public restrooms, community gardens and an amphitheater, according to Wilder, and all of it will allow them to focus and enhance the science and research done at the lab buildings. “To better help us, the Desert Lab and the UA, accomplish our mission for research and education, we need to fix the road. At the same time, we’re entering into a really new and exciting era of Tumamoc Hill,” Wilder said. “The site has had a research station for over 115 years, but there’s deferred maintenance and there’s a lot of things we need to do to put the lab and Tumamoc Hill on solid footing for years to come.”
We’re calling it the road to Tumamoc’s tomorrow ... it’s really the first piece of a bright future.”

UA students paint the town with new mural BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11
On the wall of the Historic Y building in the heart of Downtown Tucson, a mural depicts a Latina woman looking longingly into the clouds while surrounded by colorful imagery of cactuses and Arizona sunsets. The artistry and detail of this new mural was painted with the help of two UA students. Students Analaura Villegas and Brisa Tzintzun painted the mural alongside UA professor Karlito Miller Espinoza, also known as the artist Mata Ruda. Villegas and Tzintzun, both graphic design students, were picked from their illustration class by Miller to help him paint a mural titled “Sonora” in Downtown Tucson over the 2018 winter break, portraying the Hispanic heritage of Arizona. “We were extremely surprised, because he only chose two students out of about twenty students in that class,” Villegas said. “He saw our potential in painting and us showing up to class every day ready to paint for three hours. Karlito saw that we carry the same passion for painting just like he does, which allowed us to have this wonderful opportunity.” The trio began the mural on Dec. 11 and finished it Dec. 16. According to Villegas, they prepared to paint “Sonora” by buying all the necessary materials as well as gridding the mural to make sure everything was aligned perfectly. “We first went to Ace Hardware store for about twenty different colors of spray paint and around five buckets of primary color latex paint and around three big brushes,” Villegas said. “My professor managed the lift, in order to begin gridding the mural and focused on small grids specifically for her face.” Villegas also said that while Miller focused on painting the face, they worked on color blocking and filling the whole mural. “We later focused on the details of the woman as well as blending the colors as a gradient effect for the sunsets in order to make it come to life,” Villegas said. Tzintzun said they would meet at the Historic Y building at 9 a.m. and wouldn’t stop working until 6 p.m. “The mural took longer than we had
anticipated due to the rough texture of the wall we had to paint on,” Tzintzun said. “We had to use almost double the paint and time to cover it up completely.” After five days of hard work and dedication, the trio was able to finish their mural. Both students were able to learn something new from the experience, improving their art skills, they said. “This was the very first time I had ever been invited to work on something this big, at a much larger scale than I usually do,” Tzintzun said. “It definitely put me out of my comfort zone, but it paid off, because I learned so much from this experience.” Similar to Tzintzun, Villegas was unfamiliar with the steps it took to paint a mural, but she was able to learn along the way what it took to create one. “The process of painting the mural was something I was eager to know, because painting a mural can require different steps, but I later found out that it is similar to painting on a canvas,” Villegas said. Not only does “Sonora” show the artists’ expertise, the mural has a powerful message behind it. It is a representation of the Hispanic heritage that flows through Tucson, according to the artists. Villegas said that Miller wanted to incorporate a young adult to appeal to a broad audience and he wanted anyone viewing the mural to be able to relate to it. “The girl in the mural has very distinct features that represent Latinas and everything that comes with girl power,” Tzintzun said. Aside from the young woman, the mural represents different things, Villegas said. “The mural has many sections where it represents Arizona, such as the cactus and sunsets as well as a hummingbird, which represents the Colibrí organization the Historic Y building is a part of,” Villegas said. “The butterfly symbolizes migrants who have crossed the border and the woman is reading a book and looking up into the clouds to symbolize hopefulness, empowerment and knowledge, in my opinion.” Tzintzun said she hopes the mural makes people feel proud of who they are or where they come from. “I know it makes me feel very special

to see my culture represented in Tucson, whether it’s through a mural or anything else,” Tzintzun said. During their time painting the mural, Villegas and Tzintzun said they were both able to become closer and, more importantly, said they were able to learn more about their artistic skills and valuable art techniques. “My favorite part of painting the mural was bonding with my classmate and teacher as well as learning how to make every little detail come to life,” Villegas said. “I actually didn’t know how to blend so smoothly and create a nice sunset until they helped me with color matching and using water to blend.” Tzintzun also credited the learning experience as the best part of painting the mural, saying she enjoyed being able to proudly represent her culture. “I feel very lucky to have been able to experience this,” Tzintzun said. “I was able to represent my culture the best way that I can, by painting it.”

Alum looks to future with new app “IGIST” BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs
Some of the greatest inventors and scientists in the world were inspired by science fiction stories by the likes of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and Ray Bradbury. L.S. Larson, a University of Arizona alumnus and the president of the technology and weapons company Axon, hopes that his new science fiction book and reading app “IGIST” will be the inspiration for the next generation of great minds. Larson took his inspiration from his company’s history with the Tom Swift series, a series of children’s books about a young boy who saves the world with his inventions. “I looked into the Tom Swift series and discovered it was from the 1910s and had inspired several inventors and scientists,” Larson said. Larson said the series influenced prolific inventors like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, futurist Ray Kurzweil and former NASA scientist and creator of the TASER nonlethal electric weapon Jack Cover. Cover founded Larson’s company, formerly called TASER. The company, and Cover’s invention, take their names from Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle. Larson, who has three daughters, thought the story was missing something. “Something jumps out from the list of people who were inspired,” Larson said. “They’re all men.” Larson wanted to create a story with a strong female main character that would not only motivate his daughters but future inventors and scientists as well. Over the past three years, Larson has been diligently splitting his time between his job and writing “IGIST” with
some help from his young daughters Kendall and Kaylee, who offered insight to his finished chapters and even named some of the characters. “IGIST” takes place in the future, when humans have spread throughout the solar system. It follows the story of young Emi, an earthling who dreams of escaping a plague by attending the Intergalactic Institute of Science and Technology, a school that follows a simple ethos — the right idea can overcome any adversity. “[Emi’s] a young woman who faces a great deal of adversity, and yet she pushes herself to do what others tell her is impossible,” said Alex Mersereau, general manager of IGIST’s developing team. “She isn’t just persevering to satisfy her own ego or ambition, she keeps sacrificing and pushing herself in order to help people that everyone else has ignored.” Larson used to see a quote by Socrates every day at the entrance of his graduate school — “I’m not a Greek or an Athenian but a citizen of the world.” Larson said he wanted to instill this principle into his readers. “IGIST is an app and a story, yes,” Larson said. “But it also is a movement and a mindset. We want to inspire a better future.” Larson finished the first draft of the book last December, but as a technologist, he could not simply publish a hardcover book, and he said he did not want his work to be limited to an e-reader. “The existing e-reader is kind of boring, and I didn’t want
my book just read on a white page,” Larson said. “Meanwhile, there is all this cool stuff happening on the iPhone.” Larson built an “insanely talented team of designers, artists, programmers and animators to bring this vision of ‘IGIST’ to life.” Together, they have reinvented classic storytelling with their new reading app. The app aims for a deeply immersive reading experience. Entering the app, the story is told in an endless scroll with “stunning sci-fi photorealist illustrations that bring the story and characters to life” and upon finishing chapters, readers can get coins and badges used to aquire Virtual Character cards and AR filters. Often, “Sputnik” animations will crawl through the screen — envision a moving plague blacking out the screen during an intense scene and jumping off of it — and make the reader feel like they are a part of the story. The app will be in beta testing until March, according to Larson, but the paperback version was released in December and includes beautiful illustrations that come to life when using the app’s AR filters over them. Larson is already working on the second book of the IGIST series and on Jan. 12, he begins his 31-city tour for promoting the book, starting at the UA. “Our ultimate goal is that 25 years from now there will be scientists, engineers, inventors, doctors and explorers that choose to push humanity forward because they were inspired by Emi’s story,” Mersereau said.

Timely foul, Jeter’s scoring help ‘Cats high with 21 points and grabbing a career-high 13 rebounds, giving Arizona a matchup problem inside. Jeter was especially important late in the game, where he made a couple of free throws in overtime. “Those are the type of games that we all signed up for when we come to Arizona,” Jeter said. “To be able to have that toughness and the will, the fight from everybody to close that game out in overtime was big for us. That’s the best thing that any player could ask for, on this squad especially.”

Another game, another close call for the Wildcats. Arizona held on to defeat Utah at home 84-81 in overtime on Saturday to improve to 2-0 in conference play and 11-4 overall. The game was back and forth the entire second half and overtime, with the lead never stretching to more than six on either side. These three factors contributed to Arizona’s nail-biting victory. Barefield’s barrage Without its normal lack of offensive firepower this season, Arizona has relied on defense to set the tone and carry it to victory in games this season. That defense was carved up Saturday by the Utes, who shot 59 percent from the floor and 53 percent from 3-point range. Utah’s Sedrick Barefield, the senior guard looking for his first career win in McKale, was a one-man show to start the game, scoring 19 in the first half on 7-9 MADELEINE VICECONTE | THE DAILY WILDCAT shooting, including 4-5 from 3.

Smith’s shooting While consistent production has been there this season from Brandon Randolph and Jeter for the most part, Arizona has at times struggled to find a third player to hit big shots and produce when needed. The ‘Cats got a needed boost on Saturday from junior guard Dylan Smith. Smith went 4-4 from the floor, including 3-3 from 3, to finish with 11 points. His back-to-back baskets in the first half were a part of an 11-3 run from Arizona that kept them in the game early on, negating an early 10-point lead from Utah. Smith’s shooting helped to offset the poor shooting night from 3-point range that Randolph and Justin Coleman had, with the two combining to go 1-11 from beyond the arc. “That’s a good sign for us that we can score 84 points, and he [Randolph] was 1-9 from the 3-point line. We weren’t at our best for the entire game. This wasn’t the best that we can play,” Miller said. The Wildcats will be back in action next week, as they travel to the Bay Area to take on Stanford on Wednesday. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. on the Pac-12 Network.

UA looks to continue spring success BY AMIT SYAL ASyal21_
To kick off the new year, Arizona will start and continue a myriad of different seasons, including baseball, softball, beach volleyball, track and field and gymnastics. Baseball Last year, Arizona baseball barely missed
the NCAA Tournament after carrying a 34-22 record. The team went 23-6 at home, but a measly 10-13 away from Tucson. This season, the Wildcats will have plenty of games on the road against tough opponents such as Houston, Penn State, Rice and San Diego State University. Key players to look out for on the Wildcats roster include juniors Nick Quintana and Matt Frazier and senior Avery Weems.
Softball Last year, Arizona softball went 43-16 on the season, after losing back-to-back games to UCLA in the NCAA Super Regionals in Los Angeles. At home, the ‘Cats went 28-4 on the season in Rita Hillenbrand Stadium and only 6-11 on the road. Key players to look out for this season include Taylor McQuillin and Alyssa
Denham. McQuillin posted a 1.68 ERA in 242 innings, while Denham tacked on a 1.85 ERA in 106 innings. Arizona softball is looking to make a bigger impact in the postseason in 2019 with the addition of five new freshman to the roster.

Beach volleyball Arizona beach volleyball kicks off its 2019 season in late February after finishing with a 20-12 record in the past 2018 season. The SandCats were eliminated from Pac-12 tournament play by California last April after many hard-fought battles throughout the regular season. With the loss of star player Olivia Macdonald, Arizona beach volleyball will rely heavily on talent from players such as Mia Mason, Olivia Hallaran and Brooke Burling to have any shot at postseason success. Arizona’s first seven games will be held at Bear Down Beach in Tucson against both conference and non-conference foes. Track and Field When Arizona track and field comes up, sophomore Jordan Geist leads all discussions. As a freshman, Geist was one of the most decorated athletes at the UA. Geist led both his team and the conference in a myriad of field events, including discus and shot put. Other names to watch include sophomore Umajesty Williams led the pack in sprints. An Arizona-trained athlete, Williams was one of the 2018 Pac-12 4x400-meter relay champions. Arizona track and field has a long season ahead of them, but the team is looking to make a huge impact this year, especially in the Pac-12 Championships at home at Roy P. Drachman Stadium starting May 11. Gymnastics John Court was named head coach of Arizona gymnastics last season, after being on the coaching staff for 19 seasons. Arizona gymnastics finished No. 8 at the Pac-12 Championships last season, so the team is looking to make more of an impact this season with the addition of four new freshman to the roster. Key gymnasts to look out for include junior Christina Berg, senior Haylie Hendrickson and senior Danielle Spencer.

TIME FOR PLAYOFF EXPANSION? With lopsided scores in the semifinal games, more teams deserve to make the playoff field COLUMN
BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKleifield
A
t face value, it seems that the College Football Playoff committee succeeded in compiling their end-of-season rankings. However, that’s not entirely the case. Alabama and Clemson dominated their opponents in their respective semifinal games. The Crimson Tide stole a 28-0 lead against the nation’s top-ranked offense in the Orange Bowl, eventually sealing a convincing 45-34 victory over Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray and the Oklahoma Sooners. In the Cotton Bowl, Clemson’s highly touted defensive line overpowered and humiliated the undefeated Notre Dame Fighting Irish to a tune of 30-3. Rather than looking overwhelmed, the Tigers’ true freshman quarterback, Trevor Lawerence, played lights out and looked at ease under the mega jumbotron in AT&T Stadium. It’s simple to suggest that the disparity between the final two teams’ standing and every other school across the country is so great that a competitive four-team playoff was out of question this season, but that would be doing a disservice to each team that exceeded expectations this year and proved their ultimate worth during the Bowl season. Ever since the College Football Playoff replaced the long-standing BCS National Championship, teams that don’t meet every aspect of the committee’s criteria have struggled to make their case for finishing higher in weekly rankings, as well as potentially earning a seat in the current four-team playoff system. Over the last five seasons, Alabama and Clemson have dominated the playoff in a manner that no other team has come close to replicating. Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney have catapulted their school’s football programs to a level that is nearing untouchable, not to mention increasingly impossible to dethrone. Each year, a 13-member Playoff Selection Committee works diligently to compose a list of the country’s top football teams. Based upon a combination of weekly analysis, performance under specific circumstances and results in key games, the committee votes on which teams should rank above the others, and ultimately who should be left out of the playoff discussion. The issue with the system, however, is seen throughout the Bowl season, leading up to, and immediately after, the semifinal games. The bottom line is that it’s incredibly difficult to judge a team’s success against any opponent until they’ve faced one another. Instead of focusing on eliminating the teams that fell short of specific criteria — like winning

a conference championship or sporting a perfect record — the committee should create a playoff format that is based primarily on performance against ranked opponents that would also account for teams having an off-day. As evident as it is in the NFL that any team can win on any given Sunday, college football is very much a similar display. Of course, at a certain point there is a talent gap between teams in each conference, but in order to determine the nation’s very best, it’s necessary to give those elite programs the chance to showcase their abilities in a win-and-advance environment. That’s why a 12-team playoff format is the bestcase scenario for the future of college football. In a perfect world, a 25-member selection committee —with no affiliation to any specific football program — would vote on a weekly basis, ranking the nation’s top 25 teams. By season’s end, those weekly rankings would be nothing more than table-side conversation and online entertainment. Instead, the playoff would be formulated by utilizing a combination of overall ranking and success against conference opponents. The 12-team race would be comprised of the two
highest-ranked teams from each Power 5 conference, as well as two at-large bids, which would be awarded to the two teams that finish highest in the final poll, regardless of which conference they participated in. This would allow independent programs like Notre Dame and Group of Five contenders like Central Florida to vie for a playoff spot, despite playing a much weaker schedule throughout the season. Although the 2019 National Championship featured two teams tabbed by experts as the elite of the elite, it’s not exactly a bout between the country’s most deserving teams. Alabama and Clemson have each had their scares this season, just like they did every other year they’ve faced each other on college football’s biggest stage. I’m not saying that the old BCS National Championship system was any better, but it’s safe to say that the relatively new four-team playoff isn’t getting the job done either. A 12-team playoff format that highlights the success of teams within the Power 5 conferences would be the justice that the college football postseason deserves.

EXTRA SPECIAL NEW YEAR’S EDITION! Why drinking less may be the best resolution you’ll make this year If you’re like us, you’re probably over New Year’s resolutions by now – yet for some reason we keep reading articles and posts about them. Hope springs eternal, right? Make no mistake, change can be a pain and old habits die hard. But should you muster the time and energy to do something different this year, our advice is to pick a goal that offers a big return on investment and is actually doable.
HERE’S WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU:
Looking for something that fits the bill? Consider drinking just a little bit less in 2019, no matter what kind of drinker you are. You can do this by setting a limit on the drinks you’ll have each night, avoiding/cutting back on hard alcohol, pacing yourself, and sticking to beer over liquor and mixed drinks, since beer typically has less alcohol by volume.
GPA – You don’t need a 4.0 to know that as drinking goes up, grades go down. If you’re looking to bump up your GPA and finish the year strong, this is the resolution for you.
Take the Red Cup New Year’s Challenge by shaving off a few drinks each night and see for yourself.
The Sweet Spot – In the paradoxical world of alcohol, less is more. Having fewer drinks will help you maintain your social buzz longer and avoid the pitfalls of overindulgence (e.g. drama, puking, regrets, blackouts, hangovers, MIPs). Calories – As in less of them. Curbing your alcohol intake may be the easiest way to cut empty calories and help you maintain a healthy weight.
Moola – Alcohol can be pricey, and that’s before any potential alcoholinduced legal trouble. Scale back and keep more of your hard earned cash. Mojo – According to Urban Dictionary, mojo means “a charm or a spell, but now more commonly means sex appeal or talent.” Drink less and stay in control if you want mo’ of it.

This week in Astrology Aries (March 20 - April 20)
With Mars returning to Aries for the first time in two years, energy levels will spike with the new year. Start the year off right with motivation and celebration. This is a good time to buckle down and start your resolutions off strong, just like you Aries. Leo (July 22 - Aug. 23) Even though you’re going to want to indulge in a vacation to celebrate the New Year, resist that urge. Right now your career is at stake. Make sure to trust yourself and don’t stay at a job you weren’t meant for. A better job is coming to you, and in the meantime focus on fixing your daily routine to make it more beneficial. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 Dec. 21) This week is a good time to hit the casino for you, Sagittarius. Your financial luck is booming this week, and you should also plan your year financially as well to avoid trouble down the road. Also, an increase in energy from Mars returning to Aries means you should exercise this week.

sense of competitiveness towards the end of the week. Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
The New Year brings a fresh start and there is no better way to start the year off than trying something new. Taurus, this is your time to chase adventure and escape the same routine you are comfortable with.
A new year means letting go of last year. Holding onto baggage from the past will only prevent you from having a successful 2019. This week is a perfect week to focus on your goals and do some soul searching.
Virgo (Aug. 23 Sept. 23) Let your creativity lead the way into 2019. This week is a good time to put your blood, sweat and tears into a passion of yours. Take your time and make this project count, because it may help you long term. Also, Virgo, don’t be afraid to put a little risk on this project, it will pay off.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23)
Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) The universe is making changes for you to help you move on with life. Use this to your advantage even if it feels uncomfortable. This week may require you to take care of family issues and declutter your space.
Love is in the air for you, Libra, but it’s up to you to make it happen. This week is a perfect time to be bold and honest in order to rekindle or build new romances. Family and domestic life are also strong for you this week, and if you have been thinking about moving, this may be a good time to look into it. Aquarius (Jan. 20 Feb. 18) Two eclipses coming in January may make this week feel hectic to you, but focusing on mental, spiritual and physical health will make you feel better. To pursue your goals and start new projects, you may find that advice from a life coach may help you.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22) This week is a good week to decide which relationships will continue in 2019. With extra energy from the new moon, decide which relationships will rebuild and get stronger and which will fall apart. Starting the year off with boundaries will help make it successful. Scorpio (Oct. 23 Nov. 22) 2019 means you need to take charge, or else other people or events will make decisions for you. As far as business, health and communication go, you need to be careful and cautious. The right choices can make your dreams a reality. Pisces (Feb. 18 March 20) Don’t stress about the financial burden the holidays may have put on you. An opportunity for a better financial situation is coming but make sure to not settle for a salary less than you deserve, and also keep a log of all expenses. This is a good week to reach out to friends and make social plans.

OPINIONS | TOPIC OF THE WEEK
NEW SEMESTER, NEW YOU?
Starting a new semester after winter break can be rough. Here’s some advice from Daily Wildcat staff members and fellow students that might help make the transition a bit easier You have made it to your second semester of college, congratulations. Spring Semester at the UA brings more than just hot weather; the end if the semester is closer than you think. BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT There are more breaks this semester, so this means only one thing: You have to be on top @pascalloves of everything all the time. Deadlines are not just something we in the journalism business are born knowing, it is something everyone this semester needs to know super well. Essays, papers and projects will pile up if you cannot be organized and manage yourself. For some, college is more about experience rather than education, but that cannot be said for all. I am in my second year at the UA, and I learned that this semester goes by too quickly, so make sure you have yourself in check and complete all your work on time. With that Happy New Year from the Arts & Life Desk at the Daily Wildcat!
COLUMNIST
First semester down! You’ve got the hang of the whole “college thing” now. In fact, this semester you’re going to do even more than before. Maybe you’re taking on more difficult classes or have started a new BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS internship. In any case, this year you’re @nessamagnifique going to work harder, better, faster, stronger. While I applaud you for your ambition, among all the amazing things you’re doing in school, remember to take time for yourself and your relationships. You are not a GPA-generating robot. You are a person, with all the flaws and follies that come along with that. People need breaks, need sleep, need companionship. So spend time with your friends, or take that dance class you’ve always thought about trying. College is about learning new things, not just academically but personally as well. And when you take that time for yourself, don’t feel guilty about it. Yes, you theoretically could be using that time for studying, but think about what this is all building up to, why you’re in college studying in the first place. Is your ultimate goal to have a perfect GPA or to find a way to do what you love or what interests you? Hopefully it’s the second, but I’m sure there are lots of things that interest you, including your friends and your hobbies. So take time for them. You cannot nurture just one aspect of yourself and call it growth.

Returning to school after the holidays is always really hard. You drank your weight in Eggnog, rang in the New Year with your favorite people and didn’t have to worry about school work for almost a whole BY JASMINE DEMERS @JasmineADemers month. It can be difficult to snap back to reality, but this is the time to work hard and set new goals. This semester, aspire to try something new, step out of your comfort zone and pursue your passion. Last spring, I had just started my third semester of grad school, and I was lost. I knew that I wanted to be a journalist, but I was discouraged and afraid to put myself out there. One month into the semester, I found the Daily Wildcat and everything changed. I found the place and the people that helped me feel

more fulfilled than I had in a long time. So don’t let anything hold you back this semester. Join that club you’ve been wanting to be a part of, or apply for that internship you told yourself you weren’t good enough for. You owe it to yourself to find your happiness this semester.
Winter break always comes just at the right time — after the high stress and bizarre schedule of finals week, nothing feels better than to just decompress with Netflix for a while. However, a month is a BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN long time to relax, and sometimes that time @_mheffernan off makes getting back into the rhythm of school difficult. Personally, since I’m from out of state, I like to get back to campus a day or two earlier than classes start, so I can make sure I’m settled back into my space in Tucson. I take the time to unpack, pull out my planner, look over class syllabi and make sure everything is in order for the first week. It also helps if you pick up a routine you used to have the semester before — perhaps you went to the gym at 4 p.m., or you always ate lunch at the same spot. Doing these things again can remind your brain that you’re back and school and it needs to kick into gear. Overall, the best thing to do to make sure winter break doesn’t mess up your headspace going into spring semester is to set yourself goals or a schedule for the first week — class time, exercise time, hobby time, library time — and make sure you follow it exactly for the first week. You may switch that schedule up going forward, but the important part is follow some routine when you first arrive back at school, to make sure you don’t fall back into the pattern of bingewatching Netflix.

Fall semesters can be tough, especially when it’s your first semester away from home. I know — my first semester at the UA, I failed literally every class — I’ve been there. BY EDDIE CELAYA After nearly a decade of attending college off@reporterEddie and-on, I’ve picked up a few habits that may actually help you survive this coming spring. First, just go to class. Drag yourself out of bed, take a shower and zombie-walk to those 9 a.m. classes. Professors are usually just as mad about having to get up in front of a bunch of barely-awake millennials, so showing up will come in handy if attendance counts as part of your grade. Second, talk to your professors and TAs. You’ll be surprised to learn that UA employees are just like you: people just looking to avoid Tucson’s potholes. Talking to your professor will help them remember your face, name and maybe even sway their grading judgement come finals. Last, make sure to get off campus. Tucson is smack-dab in the middle of the Sonoran Desert, with tons of outdoor activities and a burgeoning food scene that is second to none in the Southwest. Take advantage of your time, not just to study or develop in your major, but to enjoy the offerings and surroundings of one of the best college towns in America.
