ournalists pride themselves on attaining access to things the public either might not have any idea about or, as is more often the case, might not have the time and resources to do. Sometimes that means access to a sold-out political rally. Sometimes it means sampling all the foods. This semester, the Daily Wildcat will be doing something different. Similar to other larger publications in town, we’ll be publishing a special issue celebrating the academics, food and culture that make the University of Arizona and its surrounding areas special. We call it “Wildcat Winners.” While we’re currently working out the kinks in how exactly voting will work, rest assured, your voice will be heard for topics ranging from best pizza to best professor.
We encourage you to gather your friends and family to vote for as many categories as possible to help give your favorite restaurants, hang-out spots, campus resources or academic advisors the recognition they deserve. As an added bonus, the special issue, coming in early April, is only part of the story. For each category, we’ll be rolling out a series of mixed media content. Starting with “CatBites,” where our staff picks some of their favorites from the most popular and delicious fare the UA area has to offer, we will be rolling out weekly videos, interviews and podcasts highlighting the finest offerings around the UA. The series begins this week with a three-part journey, hosted by editors Eddie Celaya and Janelle Ash, exploring Tucson’s favorite street food: the Sonoran Hot Dog. More content focusing on pizza, ice cream and late-night burritos will follow.

Shedding light on black hole mysteries BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
“As a pretty young kid who was moving around a lot, focusing on reading, writing and history didn’t seem worth it. I had to relearn it all in a new language every time, but math is the same everywhere. Math was the only thing worthwhile to learn,” said Lia Medeiros, a graduate astrophysics researcher at the UA, reflecting on her childhood. Medeiros, originally from Brazil, settled in the United States after her 10th birthday. Her childhood devotion to math followed her through high school where, in a physics course, she first encountered black holes. “Black holes were my love. I remember going to my physics teacher and saying, ‘I want to study this,’” Medeiros said. “I realized the entire universe could be described in math.” After graduating with a degree in physics and astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley, Medeiros began her doctoral studies at the University of California, Santa Barbra, with a National Science Foundation fellowship before her research brought her to the UA, then to Harvard, then back to Tucson. Her math, like before, traveled well. The research of married team Feryal Ozel and Dimitrios Psaltis, both professors of astronomy at the UA , brought Medeiros to Tucson, where she will soon defend her thesis and earn her doctoral degree. Medeiros’ research has focused on using black holes to study the fundamentals of physics, specifically gravity. “The event horizon of a black hole is the mathematical boundary between the inside of the black hole, where nothing, not even light, can escape, and the rest of the universe,” Medeiros said. Black holes and their event horizons cast an observable shadow on their surroundings, which include the gasses and other objects falling into their abyss. Medeiros’ project has focused on building a mathematical model to describe the geometry of these shadows. For Medeiros, this involves a lot of math, computing power and time spent in her office. According to models built from Albert Einstein’s famous theories on relativity and gravity, the size and shape of a black hole’s shadow should be determined mostly by its mass and a
RANDALL ECK | THE DAILY WILDCAT
LIA MEDEIROS, A GRADUATE student in astrophysics at the University of Arizona, explains how researchers can study black holes by observing their shadows, which they cast on their surroundings. Medeiros has developed a model to determine how the shadows of black holes scientists observe differ from what they expect based on mathematical models developed from Albert Einstein’s famous theories.
little by its spin. Yet these Einsteinian models explaining gravity and the universe are not the only models out there. Medeiros said she thinks studying black hole shadows offers a path toward showing one of these theories is better than the rest. “It is one thing to say an observed black hole is not what we expect to see. It is another to say what this shape means,” Medeiros said. This is the essential problem that has faced scientists up to this point in using black holes to test these theories: No one really knows what black hole shadows should look like according to these other theories. Medeiros thinks she has found a solution to this problem. By simulating over 12,000 unique black holes using computer simulations, some of which have metrics based on Einstein’s theory and some of which do not, Medeiros has developed a robust statistical model.
According to Medeiros, this model can be used to determine how different an observed black hole is compared to those predicted by the model of Einstein’s theories, thereby providing support for one theory or another. Medeiros’ models will be tested in the coming years as UA researchers collect data from the international Event Horizons Telescope, which has stations all the way to the south pole collecting data about the black hole at the center of our galaxy. The UA also received a national Partnerships for International Research and Education grant to establish the computing infrastructure necessary to process and share this data. Medeiros has presented her work at the American Astronomical Society and will publish her results in The Astrophysical Journal. Even with her success, Medeiros’ path to graduation has not always been an easy or straight one. “As a woman in STEM, I have faced
obstacles, but I have worked hard to solve these problems, been involved in women’s physics organizations, and mentored younger students,” Medeiros said. Medeiros also had some advantages. Her firsthand experiences of culture shock as a child helped her deepen her international collaborations. Reflecting on her scientific career so far, Medeiros credits her stubbornness for her success. “Half the time people tell me I am a genius when I tell them what I study. I think this stereotype can be very harmful and discouraging to younger students, since most people don’t really think of themselves as geniuses,” Medeiros said. “You don’t have to be a genius to do what I do. You don’t have to understand everything the first time you see it in a class, but you do have to be willing to put in the time and work until you do.”

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
FREE M NDO CO
FRIDAY!
Pick up free condoms, latex dams, and more every Friday between 12-2pm at Free Condom Friday: UA Campus Health, 3rd Floor, in Health Promotion!
Male Questions About Pregnancy Q. I heard that hot tubs reduce a guy’s sperm count. If I had sex with my girlfriend in a hot tub can she get pregnant? A. Exposure to heat can slightly, but not drastically, lower sperm count. She can get pregnant if you ejaculated inside of her. Sperm don’t have far to travel from the top of the vagina, through the cervix, into the uterus, and up the fallopian tubes to meet an egg.
Q. I had sex with my girlfriend when she was on her period. Is that a safe time? A. It’s much safer than other times of the menstrual cycle. Women rarely release a mature egg during menstrual bleeding. Bleeding usually occurs for 2-7 days when hormones signal the lining of the uterus to slough off. Women are usually least fertile in the few days just before, during, and just after their period.
Q. If I “cum” in a pool, can any nearby women get pregnant? A. Chances are next to zero. Sperm would be unlikely to survive the water temperature and the
chemicals in the pool. Freefloating semen would disperse, become diluted, and the sperm would not have the propulsion (nor navigational skills) to make their way up anyone’s vagina.
Q. We used a condom and it slipped off. I’m worried. Is Plan B an option and for how long? A. Plan B (emergency contraception) is one pill with a high dose of hormones that can prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse (the sooner the better). Anyone can buy it at a pharmacy. It’s 75-89% effective and way better than doing nothing.
Q. I heard that a girl cannot get pregnant when she is “on top.” Is that true? A. Pregnancy can (and does) happen when girls are on top, in a hot tub, standing up in the shower, and the first time they have sex. If you have sex with someone of the opposite sex, assume that you are both fertile, and use effective contraception (the pill, shot, ring, IUD, condoms, etc.)

GymCat’s ‘#Black’ wins photo award Univeristy of Arizona photography student and former GymCat Kennady Schneider has won the Julia Margaret Cameron Award for her photo series “#Black” BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs
Former University of Arizona gymnast Kennady Schneider has found her voice in the contemporary art of photography and is using it to represent the black community. Schnieder closed her very first solo exhibition “Seasoned” at the Lionel Rombach Gallery on the UA campus last Thursday and recently won the Julia Margaret Cameron Award in Contemporary Portraiture for her photo series “#Black”. Schneider came to UA as an athlete and an aspiring journalist but quickly found that her heart was never in reporting. Rather, her vocation had always been in performance art. “I loved choreographing and performing in front of people. My whole life is centered around the arts,” Schneider said. Schneider retired from gymnastics last March and is now dedicating her time and energy to a different kind of art. “I realized I could use photographs as a way to have my voice be heard,” Schneider said. “Photographs are a visual language I could communicate through very well.” Schneider considers herself a portrait photographer, but she said she strives for a sense of purposefulness in every piece. She enjoys “being on set” in previsualized, staged photoshoots where she can interact with and direct her participants and the environment to showcase her ultimate message. Schneider’s subject: “the black experience.” “In my work I’m always trying to showcase the black experience,” Schneider said. “Social injustices, oppression, exploitation, the systematic erasure of the black body throughout history.” As a black woman in gymnastics, Schneider felt isolated in a sport that, historically, is predominantly white. “Every representation of the ideal gymnast is white,” Schneider said. “And that can make a black gymnast feel like she doesn’t belong in this space.” In her solo exhibition, many of her photos featured portraits of her competitors. After every competition, Schneider would ask her fellow competitors if they would like to be featured in a project to demonstrate the lack of diversity in gymnastics. While building that project, Schneider said she determined that there was a disappointing lack of diversity in gymnastics, but she also found something more meaningful. “I found that there was this sense of community that I hadn’t been accessing,” Schneider said. “Seeing that kinship trickle down to our contemporary moment in this sport that I was participating in was so interesting and fulfilling for me.” Schneider’s exhibit, “Seasoned,” has already closed, but her winning photo series, “#Black,” will be featured in the 12th edition of the Julia Margaret Cameron Collective Exhibition in Barcelona, Spain, this April. According to the UA School of Art website, 760

photographers from 72 countries submitted a total of 5,800 photographs for consideration for the award. Schneider missed the initial notification of her win. “The news got lost in my emails. I think it was three weeks later that I actually figured out I had won,” Schneider said. “I was so shocked. I know my work is good, but it’s hard to know what jurors look for.” “#Black” marked a jumping off-point in Schneider’s life as an artist. Initially, she was experimenting with her style and her message. She knew what she wanted to see, though, and worked intuitively. She began doing research into African American history, aided by her minor in Africana studies. When she looked into how the black body was portrayed in media, she found her footing in this project. There are seven photosin her series depicting common African American stereotypes in history: A black man and white woman — he in a rear-facing snapback with vanilla ice cream dripping through his fingers and she in revealing clothes and hoop earrings unabashedly licking a chocolate ice-cream cone. A fashionably dressed woman in heels, biting her sunglasses, the word “woke” written across her brow in permanent marker. A woman in a white dress in a cotton field, a pile of fried chicken dirtying her picnic blanket. A boy at a playground in the dark, holding a gun,
rainbowed Skittles littered at his feet. A man in furry coat and crouching beneath him, a women all in gold. A man lazing at the pool, clad in sweats and a white tank top. Five men, dressed in hoodies or jersies, dark jeans or sweatpants, snapbacks or bandanas, huddled on a dilapidated street corner. “It’s taking all of these stereotypes in history and displaying them in the contemporary moment, as is relatable to my viewers,” Schneider said. Schneider hopes her audience sees representation where there was once none and are encouraged to ask questions about system-based institutions and the history of dehumanization of the black body. Schneider’s work will always be in continuation, she said. Her work will never end, nor will this series. It will change and mold itself as she changes. Schneider graduates this May. She hopes to see herself working at a gallery or museum in the future and possibly continuing as an artist in academia. “I think being around active, young minds all the time and being a mentor to these voices is what I feel like my duty is,” Schneider said. “As a black woman, I never had that representation in higher education. It feels like it’s a service I want to do for future artists and minds who want their voices heard.”

Women’s March returns to Tucson BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS AND SHANNON SNEATH @nessamagnifique @Shan_anaginssss
Hundreds of people of all different ages and backgrounds marched at the 2019 Tucson Women’s March at Jácome Plaza downtown on Jan. 20. This was the second Women’s March held in Tucson. The event included marching, chanting, music and speeches given by many local activists, including Sam Cloud, president of Tucson Pride, and Peris Lopez, a Catalina Foothills High School senior who works with the Tucson chapter of the March for Our Lives Movement. Speakers discussed issues such as sexuality, gun control, LGBTQ rights, women in the workplace and immigration. Although the march was officially bipartisan, one of the requirements of the event’s fiscal sponsor, the YMCA of Southern Arizona, it was not nonpolitical. Many people marching were marching for political reasons. Common reasons heard for attending the Women’s March were related to President Donald Trump. When people were asked what they still think needs changed since the introduction of the Women’s March, Debora Light, 64, from Oregon said, “personally, I would like to see our president, not because he’s Republican but because of his immorality and his criminality and his lying, to be out of office.” Part of the progress since the first
Women’s March in 2017 was the fact that more and more women are getting elected to congress. “This all began when Trump became president and women stood up and said ‘this is not what we want,’” said Deanna Bisley, a retired dean of technical education. Students from the UA attended the march as well. Zach Witter, 20, who is studying art history, marched with his sister Hannah. Witter had somewhat of a different take on the Women’s March. Witter stated he did not exactly feel represented by the women that attended the march, citing the abundance of older, white female marchers. “A lot of them are like neoliberal and are not to be trusted farther than you can throw,” Witter said. “There’s a lot of problematic and white feminism, and that’s the majority of the people here.” Inclusivity was something the march organizers strove for, according to Cynthia Bistrain, chair of this Tucson Women’s March. Prior to the march, organizers released statements condemning the anti-semitism and white supremacy that the national Women’s March had been accused of, though the Tucson Women’s March was not affiliated with Women’s March, Inc., which organizes the national march. “I know that there’s people that are hurt and feel that there is not enough inclusivity, and I’m sure we can do
“
better the next time,” she said. “So definitely, it’s a topic that leads to difficult conversations, and what I know about our team is that we are willing to have the difficult conversations.” Some aspects of the event were clearly created with accessibility in mind. The speeches were trilingual, delivered in English, Spanish and American Sign Language. Certain events and speakers brought awareness to the indigenous peoples of Southern Arizona. The march was lead by toka players from the Tohono O’odham Nation. A blessing was performed prior to the march and several speakers addressed issues related to Native American rights.
This event belongs to the community.”
important to Southern Arizona partly because the march was completely organized by community members. “We are really ,really focused on Southern Arizona. We want to make change in the country and in the world and beyond, but I think we have to start where we are,” Lyons said. After the initial Women’s March in Tucson in 2017, there was no march in 2018. Bistrain said that she and other former attendees discussed on Facebook the idea of putting together a march for the next year. Planning meetings were held in different locations throughout the city to try to increase accessibility for people interested in helping, Bistrain stated. Adhering to the idea of community involvement, a meeting will be held in the weeks after the march for the organizers to hear community feedback. “This event belongs to the community,” Bistrain said. “It doesn’t belong to me or to the organizing committee or anyone. It belongs to the community, so we’re going to want to hear from the community to see what’s next.” Bistrain was not certain if she and her team would organize another march next year, but they had been discussing the possibility. For the immediate future, Bistrain, Lyons and other women who participated in the event said that they hoped the march inspired concerned citizens to find a cause they care about and continue to fight for it.
— CYNTHIA BISTRAIN, TUCSON WOMEN’S MARCH CHAIR “Most of the time indigenous women or indigenous people are not included in these spaces,” said April Ignacio, a founding member of Indivisible Tohono who spoke about the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women. “And the organizers went out of their way to ensure we would be a part of this march because Tucson is O’odham land.” When organizing the event, media chair Halli Lyons said an emphasis was placed on local activism and issues

NEWS | Q&A
Andrew Coan, UA law professor, on new book Coan’s book sheds light on the role of special prosecutors in American democracy, a topic he’s been interested in since the investigation into Russian collusion began by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Coan explains how these prosecutors serve to hold presidents accountable and how they’ve played an important role throughout American history BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
The investigation into Russian collusion by Special Counsel Robert Mueller has occupied the minds of journalists, citizens and the president of the United States since the 2016 presidential election. The evidence Mueller has collected remains unclear. So, too, does the history, power and protection of his role as special prosecutor. In his new, nonpartisan book “Prosecuting the President: How Special Prosecutors Hold Presidents Accountable and Protect the Rule of Law,” UA law professor Andrew Coan sets out to answer these questions through colorful historical anecdotes and legal analysis, shedding some light on the role of special prosecutors in American democracy. The Daily Wildcat spoke with Coan about his new book and how it can help us understand our current political situation. The interview has been edited here for clarity. Daily Wildcat: How long have you been at the University of Arizona? What is your role here? Andrew Coan: I am coming up on five years at the university. I am a professor of law and the associate director of the William H. Rehnquist Center on the Constitutional Structures of Government. Alongside writing, I teach constitutional law courses at the university. DW: What inspired you to write this book? What expertise did you bring to the table? AC: Back in February 2018, everyone I knew was desperate to understand what special prosecutors are, how they work, what powers they have, and what the limits are on their jurisdiction. More than anything else though, they wondered how an official who looks so weak on paper can hold the most powerful person in the world accountable. I wanted to answer those questions for a general audience. I have been interested in the issues of constitutional law that arise because of special counsel investigations. This project gave me the opportunity to learn a lot of new things and shed some light on their role. DW: Take me through your writing process.
Did you discover any unique historical anecdotes along the way? AC: I immersed myself deeply in the history before I started writing. I had to go all the way back to President Ulysses S. Grant, when in 1875 he appointed the first special prosecutor and subsequently fired him before his investigation was complete. Since then, American presidents of both major parties have appointed special prosecutors to signal their seriousness to get the bottom of allegations against their administration. The Teapot Dome scandal is the single most spectacular and audacious example of financial corruption in American political history. It began before the 1920 Republican nominating convention, when a group of unscrupulous oil barons bought the nomination for Warren G. Harding in exchange for oil drilling rights from the next secretary of the interior. Harding’s successor, Calvin Coolidge, appointed two special prosecutors, one Democrat and one Republican, to investigate the scandal after suspicious payments or bribes of over $100,000 were discovered by a Senate committee. In the end, those involved served jail sentences, but not before Coolidge repeatedly cut the prosecutors’ funding, forcing them to fund their investigation out of their own pockets. DW: How does your book help us understand our current political situation? AC: The biggest takeaway from my book is that at their best, special prosecutors work as a catalyst for democracy and raise the visibility of issues, making it difficult for presidents to interfere. Mueller’s ability to hold this president accountable is a function of democratic politics. The recent testimony of President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, William Barr, demonstrates this powerfully. The hearing was an opportunity for the Senate and the American people to place political pressure on the president to let the Mueller investigation reach its natural conclusion. Barr signaled he would. What American people will tolerate from a president, we don’t entirely know, but whatever answer, the American people have

a large role to play in the role of a special prosecutor. DW: You’re releasing another book this year on the Supreme Court. Can you tell me more about that? AC: My next book, “Rationing the Constitution: How Judicial Capacity Shapes Supreme Court Decision-Making,” is more of a traditional scholarly book aimed at law students and my peers. It tries to make an important point that anyone can understand, though: The Supreme Court is a relatively tiny institution compared to Congress, the
President and the federal bureaucracy. It is capable of deciding only a small fraction of constitutional questions. Often, when it does decide key questions, it is forced to do so in a way that is unsatisfactory, choosing between two blunt instruments: deferring to another branch of government or making broad, blanket rules. Popular fears of judicial tyranny are overblown. Coan’s book “Prosecuting the President”,” published by Oxford University Press, is currently available in stores and on Amazon.

ARTS & LIFE | TOILET ART
Bathroom design catches eye of UA student BY MAYA NOTO @mayanoto58
The University of Arizona sits on about 380 acres of land, with 179 buildings on the main campus. Each building has about one thing in common: It houses at least one bathroom. For Alyssa Sierra, that is important for a reason. Sierra, a junior at UA studying environmental science with an emphasis in biology, bestowed an uncommon task on herself during her freshman year. Her goal was to “post a photo of every single bathroom on campus” during her time in school using her Instagram account @ua_bathrooms. “I grew up in Sahuarita, everything is less than 15 years old,” Sierra said. “All over, the blueprints for every single house is the same, all of the schools are the same, every building is built the same.” She grew up in a town that she felt lacked architectural diversity, a thing most people take for granted, Sierra said. But there is true meaning behind the seemingly “far out” idea of documenting bathroom architecture. Through her experiences on campus, like many UA students, Sierra said she noticed the unique design of each building’s bathrooms, even specific to the floor and gender of the bathroom itself. In something as ordinary as a bathroom, she found a facility that “people often take for granted” as an outlet for selfexpression and what could be called art. “On one floor the bathroom may be green, but on the next, the men’s bathroom is green and the women’s is purple,” Sierra said. “These patterns and the beauty in the simplicity of a bathroom design, or even the vintage tiles on the floors and walls, are a gateway to yesterday.” The architecture on UA’s campus is a mixture of architectural styles ranging from Victorian to PostModern, with each building being slightly different. On her Instagram account, Sierra has documented 39 different facilities on campus, each with its own unique design. She said she has a method to capturing each bathroom while keeping the community in mind. “Have no fear before stepping into any restroom,” Sierra said. She makes sure to check that the room is empty to ensure privacy as well as taking note of the characteristics in each room and making sure to capture them in an aesthetically pleasing format. Her account has a following of over 260 at the moment, including the Hippie Gypsy store on Fourth Avenue. The bio reads, “account dedicated to the diversity of bathroom interior at the University of Arizona! Goal: Post a photo of every single bathroom on campus.” On her account, she said that she does not act alone — followers can message submissions to the account directly, giving her suggestions about bathrooms that they want to capture. Sierra explained that if you look at the account, each post aims to capture the attention to detail that goes into each bathroom. She also noted that the faucets of the bathrooms are what she finds most interesting. “It’s like when people write their poetry on the walls,” Sierra said when referring to the faucets of the bathrooms. A beautiful sentiment lies in the concept, said Lilly Cain, a senior majoring in sociology and environmental
science and a fan of the account since the early days. “Bathrooms are usually a refuge in any situation, the nuts and bolts of every bathroom are the same,” Cain said. “But on the other hand, there’s a fascination in the way every bathroom is different.” Cain explained that the bathroom is a place all people use and don’t think too much about. “It’s a fact of life, these rooms across campus are a testament to a stopping point in each person’s day,” Cain said. “Alyssa has discovered beauty in something that often gets looked over.” Cain also said that bathrooms reveal a lot about the quality of care put into a building and, by extension, the programs they represent. The diverse designs found in each university bathroom is a testament to what the UA represents: a community of individuals coming together to grow and learn from one another, “some choosing to make their mark in the form of bathroomstall graffiti.” Even messages scrawled on the backs of stall doors or scratched into mirrors are a form of self-expression, which Sierra tries to capture through every post. “I’ve always imagined that this one ‘bathroom warrior’ is continually stumbling upon these treasure bathrooms rather than a community of bathroom enthusiasts,” Cain said. “Maybe I’ll change my perspective, because there isn’t an authentic and inauthentic way to admire bathrooms.” Elizabeth “Betsie” Dries, a UA junior studying English and creative writing, is another fan of the art behind this page. She initially followed the account because she “always wondered about the variety of bathrooms on campus and the differing quality of each.” “I often wondered why some had paper towels and others didn’t,” Dries said. Dries is one of the earliest followers and said that she met Sierra long after already following the Instagram account. “I think [the account] is a novel idea and it’s both aesthetically pleasing and intrinsically funny,” Dries said. Sierra said she has met several people who have been following the account before their initial interaction. For her, this is more than a hobby, it is something that people and herself can enjoy. “I have various favorite [bathrooms] for various reasons,” Sierra said. “My favorite bathroom is the women’s in Biological Sciences East, because I enjoy the soft pink. It sounds silly, but I feel like it’s just a good representation of my individual personality, and the tiling on the floor resembles DNA helices, in my opinion, which brings me happiness.” She also said she likes the bathroom in ENR2, due to it being built “most sustainably,” and the tile pattern in the Arizona Sonora Residence Hall women’s bathroom is “hands down the best to look at.” “[ENR2’s bathroom is] LEED certified, which is something I appreciate, and it incorporates genderneutral bathrooms, which is controversial but displays consideration for today’s societal views,” Sierra said. Sierra has yet to achieve her goal, with over 140 bathrooms to still document. She said she is “not even close” to being done. So, for her fans, that means there will be more posts to come.

The rundown: Arizona’s win over OSU BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA
Arizona men’s basketball shook off a loss to Oregon with an 82-71 win over Oregon State Saturday evening. The win keeps the UA at second in the Pac-12 standings as they head into a three-game road trip the next two weeks. Here are the most noteworthy topics following the win: Jeter leaves game with injury The Wildcats got a scare early in the first half when center Chase Jeter exited the game after falling hard on his back. The 6-foot-11 senior rolled to the basket looking to scoop up a possible offensive rebound on Justin Coleman’s layup attempt, but Jeter was undercut by OSU’s Tres Tinkle as he jumped up toward the rim. Jeter lost hold of the rim and landed directly on his back. According to head coach Sean Miller, Jeter’s injury doesn’t seem to be too serious. “He’s certainly going to be okay,” Miller said. “We don’t look at it as significant, meaning a disc or anything like that. He fell, his back went into spasms, which happens a lot of times on a big guy like that. But I think he was starting to feel even a little bit better late in the game.” Jeter limped to the locker room with trainer Justin Kokoskie and remained there for the rest of the first half. He was able to come out and sit on the bench during the second half, then doing some brief stretches during timeout breaks. As for the center’s status for Thursday’s game at USC, it’s still up in the air. “We’re hopeful that we can get them back for next game, but we’re not there yet,” Miller said. Senior’s special day Coleman revealed after the game that his aunt passed away back in November and decided not to tell the team about it. Saturday was also her birthday, and the senior guard had one of the more memorable moments of his career – he notched his 1,000th career collegiate point. “I had a little bit more to play for today, I didn’t tell these guys because I wanted to play for them as well, but today was pretty special for me,” Coleman said. Miller credited Coleman for being able to battle through adversity that he faced at his previous two schools, Alabama and Samford. Coleman had his best game of conference play, scoring 14 points – including three 3s – with five assists and five steals. “More than any guy on our team, he loves the game,” Miller said. “He’s always in the gym, and I think a big reason why he wanted to finish his career here is he wanted to play on that big stage again.”

GUARD JUSTIN COLEMAN 12 jumps up to shoot the ball during the game against Oregon State University on Saturday, Jan. 19 in McKale Center. Arizona defeated OSU 82-71.
Lucky number 13 Arizona hit 13 of its 27 3s against the Beavers, a season-high mark for the team. The ‘Cats put an emphasis on taking better shots and focusing on ball movement after the Oregon game where they shot just 6-22. That strategy worked as UA’s starting guards (Coleman, Randolph and Williams) contributed 13 assists leading to three different players having three made 3s. “We have to create driving opportunities so that we can get to the free throws line and create better overall look from the 3-point line,” Miller said. “Part of why we were 13 of 27 is we were able to create some really good, open 3-point shots.” Emotional Miller Miller opened his press conference by thanking the 14,000+ people that attended the game. “I’d like to really thank our crowd. They didn’t give up on us after losing a tough game Thursday night,” Miller said. “Part of the bounce back is to feel like you’re supported, especially here that you have that magical feel in McKale. And trust me, everyone feeds off of it … it was a big reason why we won.”

SPORTS | PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
Life after basketball for Ray Smith BY MARK LAWSON @MarkLawson_1
The day was Nov. 1, 2016. The Arizona men’s basketball team was getting ready to kick off their season with a harmless exhibition game against the College of Idaho, a NAIA school known more for their skiing program than their basketball one. The game, however, wasn’t meaningless to Ray Smith. At the 15:12 mark of that game, Smith made his official debut for Arizona, 846 days since he tore his ACL the first time. He made his first field goal with 14:03 left in the second half, putting Arizona up 64-19. Smith had come full circle, successfully making it back from two torn ACL’s ready to be a key contributor. Less than two minutes later, Ray Smith’s basketball career would be over. At the 12:52 mark, Smith went up for a layup and fell next to the basket. He immediately signaled for help, making a throat-slashing gesture. Athletic trainer Justin Kokoskie and head coach Sean Miller both came out to check on him, and a silence fell over McKale Center. Smith was carried to the locker room, and the 86-35 victory became an afterthought. Two days later, his MRI came back. Smith didn’t need to see the MRI results to know what they confirmed: He had torn his ACL for a third time, this time tearing his right ACL again. He would announce his retirement from basketball that same day in a post on Twitter, thanking those around the program who believed in him during his journey, from fans to coaches and teammates. It is easy to think this is where the story of Ray Smith ends, but in fact, this is where it begins. Smith spent last season in a sort of student-assistant role, doing his best to still be connected to the game that allowed him to stay on scholarship despite his injury. He traveled to Spain with the team and did his best to be around the program. Smith then decided to shift his
focus from student-athlete to just student. He is currently a Care Health and Society Major set to graduate in May. “I haven’t been around as much,” Smith told the Daily Wildcat. “I decided to just focus on my academics and make sure I come out with a degree.” Only three players remain on the Arizona roster from the ’16-17 team (Dylan Smith, Jake DesJardins and Kory Jones), but Smith said he still keeps in contact.
“bittersweet” feeling according to him. “I think that it gets tough, because I know that I should be there playing and competing with them,” Smith said. “It’s also great to see those guys go on and
be successful in the highest level of basketball. It’s a bittersweet moment every time.” The class Smith came to Arizona with have all taken various paths in their basketball journeys. The class headliner was Allonzo Trier, who has become a fixture in the New York Knicks’ rotation this season, earning a NBA contract despite going undrafted. Justin Simon was unable to crack the rotation for Miller in his lone season on campus, averaging 7.5 minutes in 24 games.
“I talk to the fellas every once in a while,” he said. “Just to talk about other things away from He basketball, like elected to how they’re doing transfer to St. personally.” John’s, where he The No. 18 player in the has proven to be nation, Smith was part of a key contributor, a 2015 recruiting class averaging 12.2 that was No. 3 in the points per game and nation, per 24/7 Sports, starting all 33 games the highest under the last season.

Aaron Holiday, a
The commitment of Deandre Ayton, along with the return of Dušan Ristic, meant Comanche would probably have seen limited action last season, so he decided to test the pro waters. He is currently a member of the Canton Charge, the G-League affiliate of the Cleveland Cavaliers. “I talked to Justin every once in a while, whenever I noticed certain things on the court as he plays,” Smith said. “When we were at Arizona, we were pretty close. Allonzo and Chance I haven’t talked to. We just haven’t kept in touch, but it’s still love if we were to talk with one another.” While Smith may have been robbed of his dreams of an NBA career due to his bad luck at Arizona, he hasn’t let it wear on his personality. Always cracking a smile and joking around campus, Smith has been upbeat since that day in 2016. “I think I just really learned more about myself when transitioning from basketball into just being a student,” he said. “I’ve been through tough times in college, and I’m happy where I am in life. I was able to earn a free education and meet great friends along the way.” Basketball will still be a thing for Smith, just not as much about him. Although he still does play from time to time, Ray’s brother Donovan turned 11 in December, and he wants to be there for him during his journey. “I want to be really involved with my little brother as he comes up playing basketball,” he said. As for Ray himself? “I want to travel,” he said. “I’m still trying to decide what I want to do for a profession, but I figured I have some time to figure it out.” The game of basketball has been a blessing and a curse for Smith. While injuries may have taken away our chance at seeing him posterize defenders and knock down jump shots at the next level, the game has allowed Smith to grow as a person and gain an education and a new outlet to succeed in whatever he chooses.

SPORTS | POWER RANKINGS
Women’s hoops Pac-12 power ranking BY NOAH AUCLAIR @NoahAuclairUA
against Washington State. 3. Utah (16-1) – Utah has had a solid start to conference play, with a 5-1 record. Its lone loss came at the hands of Arizona State. Led by senior Megan Huff, who averages 19.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, the Utes are almost set to begin a tough threegame stretch wherein they’ll play the top three teams on this list in a matter of a week.
As the Pac-12 schedule rolls in, there’s never been a better time to look at the current landscape of the Pac-12 and throw together some rankings. 1.

MCQUILLIN LOOKS FOR REDEMPTION WITH UA BY DAVID SKINNER @DavidWSkinner_
The start of a brand new year is an opportunity many people in this world crave, an opportunity to have a clean slate, to go on without past failures influencing the results. The Arizona softball team’s new season is just around the corner, and around that corner is an opportunity for a once dominant program to reestablish itself among the collegiate elite. The person leading the charge for the Wildcats is senior pitcher Taylor McQuillin. The southpaw is one of the West Coast’s most experienced pitchers, going 28-12 with a 1.68 earned run average in 2018 and leading the Wildcats to another Super Regional berth. Arizona was matched against historic rival UCLA, and though McQuillin dominated most opponents during the 2018 regular season, the results in those Super Regionals weren’t pretty. The Bruins prevailed over McQuillin and the Wildcats to pave their way to the College World Series in a two-game sweep in Westwood. The results last spring haven’t been lost on the senior ace. “But every year leaves a stinging mark, you know,” McQuillin said during media availability with Tucson media. “We get so close and come so far during the season and just fall short every time, so this year, we are hoping to make a difference and take Arizona back to where it’s been.” The long offseason has been a source of change for the Arizona program. The new Hillenbrand Stadium aims to signal a new era and hopefully new fortunes as the ‘Cats looks to make their first College World Series since 2010. As the structural foundation of UA softball gets improvements, the heartbeat and leader of the team is chomping at the bit to write the perfect ending to her story as a Wildcat. “I think we are all itching for the first year in the new stadium,” McQuillin said. “And for the seniors you know, it’s our last year to make a big impact on Arizona softball.” The new stadium is a perfect backdrop for a change in the wind for Arizona, with the current postseason drought the longest since the early 1980s, when the program was in its infancy and missed the postseason entirely for six straight seasons. As the senior leader, the expectations heaped on the shoulders of McQullin are high. The pitchers and players
that have come before her set such a standard of excellence thatis hard to live up to. The postseason escapades of pitchers before her cast a giant shadow, one that looks like the “new Rita” according to head coach Mike Candrea. The new stadium is the perfect backdrop for McQuillin to etch herself into Arizona lore as the bridge between the old era and the new, as Arizona looks to use its new home as a fortress against the rest of the Pac-12. But for the Arizona ace to be able to dominate, the demons of past failures has to be put to rest, like the old Rita that was torn down just a few months ago. “I think every year, as it keeps going, it always stings a little bit. It always hurts,” McQuillin said. “But it makes you stronger. It gives you that motivation and that edge to want to push forward.” McQuillin will be remembered as a strong leader and great ambassador for Arizona, but with a couple breaks her way, she could catapult herself into being one of the most important Arizona players this decade. We’ll just have to sit back and see.

Totally floored The Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall found itself with its own version of Moaning Myrtle when an intoxicated student passed out in one of the hall’s communal bathrooms on Jan. 10. When a University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived at the hall at approximately 2 a.m., members of the Tucson Fire Department and UA’s Emergency Medical Service were already there assessing the student’s health. A woman on the scene spoke with the officer, recounting the events of that night. She told him that she had met the student earlier that night at a party at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house. She said that while they were together, the student had not been drinking, so she did not know how much alcohol she
had consumed, but by the time they left, she appeared already drunk and was having trouble standing. Due to the student’s condition, the woman and the Pi Kappa Alpha risk management officer decided to take her home. The student told them that she lived in Likins Residence Hall, but when the trio arrived, she could not find her CatCard. The woman offered to let the student stay in her room in Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. When they arrived at the woman’s dorm, the student excused herself, stating that she needed to use the restroom. The woman went to check on the student after she had been gone for several minutes and had not returned. When she entered the restroom, the woman discovered the student passed out on the floor of the bathroom. The officer then spoke with the fraternity’s risk management officer. He confirmed that the student had been at the party earlier that night but hadn’t been drinking alcohol there. He agreed to help the woman take the student back after seeing the state she was in. He said that when they arrived at Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, the
student had been walking on her own. When he and the woman checked on her in the bathroom later, they had found her on the floor. The paramedics who assessed the student identified that the student displayed signs of intoxication. The medical team transported her to Banner University Medical Center, though they noted that she was in no immediate danger. She was later referred to the Dean of Students Office for entry into the UA Diversion Program.
Basketbrawl An aggravated assault during a pickup basketball game turned a good time into a police investigation on Jan. 8. A UAPD officers arrived at the Campus Recreation Center, where the assault took place, and spoke with the student who had been hit. The student told the officer he and his friends were playing a friendly game of basketball in the south gym of the Rec Center around 6 p.m. He was playing defense against a man he had never met before. It was then that the man punched him in the face with a closed fist. He struck his
mouth, which began bleeding. After the blow, all the players ran to the pair and separated them. The man fled the scene. The student described the suspect as having a chipped tooth and swollen lip. He also reportedly had a cut on his right knuckle, which the student believed came from when the man fell during the game, not from the punch. The officer spoke to several of the student’s friends who had been at the game and witnessed the assault. One of the friends demonstrated the style of punch to the officer. A second friend said that during the five-on-five basketball game, he saw another friend get hit and initially thought he had been struck in the neck. The third witness said he saw the punch after a foul in the game. The three witnesses believed that they would be able to identify the suspect if they saw him again but did not know in which direction he had gone. The officer reviewed security camera footage from the Rec Center but did not see the student, his friends or anyone matching the suspect’s description leaving the gym. The student said he would want to press charges if the suspect was found.

That Happen While You Sleep
• A DAILY WILDCAT SPECIAL EDITION •
By: Carrie Johnson, MEd, CHES
2. IMMUNE SYSTEM IS BOOSTED.
The production of certain proteins (which helps fight disease) increase while we sleep. Many studies have shown that sleep deprivation leads to a decrease in white blood cell count (cells that are integral to our immune system defense and response). Getting enough sleep plays an important role in our ability to fight off, fight, and recover from infections and illnesses.
Getting enough sleep each night is just plain awesome for your emotional and physical health. So what really goes on while we sleep? A lot. Here are 3 of the many cool things that happen while we sleep:
1. MEMORIES ARE STORED.
The brain forms new memories, consolidates older ones, and makes connections between older and more recent memories. This helps us to store the new information we received and enables us to better recall it later.
3. APPETITE IS REGULATED
Hormones have an effect on our feelings of fullness and hunger. As a result, not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain, in part due to late night snacks and meals. Experts recommend getting between 7-9 hours of sleep per night. In a perfect world, you would sleep until you wake up on your own (without the assistance of an alarm clock). But since we don’t live in a perfect world, try these tips to help you sleep better!
