The second of two candidates vying for the position of UAPD chief presented at a town hall meeting on Wednesday.

University of Arizona Police Department Cmdr.

Brian Seastone, manager of emergency preparedness, gave a 20-minute presentation followed by a question and answer session in the Student Union Memorial Center. The other candidate, Gregg Jacquin, a Chandler Police Department commander, presented at a town hall meeting on Monday.

Seastone has been at the UA for over 33 years and in that time has served the UAPD as a patrol officer, a field sergeant and a commander.

He also started the crime prevention section and the public information section.

Should he become police chief, he would like to help make UAPD more a part of the community, Seastone said.

“We have a really great [police] department at the University of Arizona, and I want to help make it better,” Seastone said. “We’ve done a really good job working with the community, and I want us to become more together and become more of a cog in that community.”

To improve community relations, Seastone said he wants to start an “Ask a Cop” program, where students could ask UAPD officers questions on the UA Mall.

“Our key partners are our faculty, our staff and our students,” Seastone said.

Seastone said that as police chief, he would also try to utilize resources on campus beyond just the UAPD uniform officers to aid in campus safety.

“We need force multipliers,” Seastone said. “We need additional eyes and ears out on our campus.”

Facilities Management has approximately 200 radios, which could be used to help report strange and unusual activity to UAPD, according to Seastone. He said Parking and Transportation Services

ASUA supports stable tuition

could be utilized as well.

Seastone said it is important to begin using as many resources as possible with important events coming up, such as Spring Fling moving back to the UA campus and the possibility of a Final Four trip for the UA basketball team.

Seastone also gave his thoughts on pending legislation that could affect the UA, such as allowing faculty to carry guns on campus.

“It’s a really bad idea,” Seastone said. “I think the Second Amendment is a wonderful thing, but there is a time and a place.”

Seastone also said he supports the possibility of Arizona adopting legislation similar to “lifeline” laws.

Lifeline laws have been implemented in other states and protect underage drinkers from criminal prosecution if they call 911 for medical assistance.

“We have to make sure that the spirit of the law never precludes someone from reporting a crime for fear that the may get arrested,” Seastone said. “Life safety is more important.”

The search for UAPD chief is being headed by athletic director Greg Byrne. He was selected to lead the search committee by UA President Ann Weaver Hart.

Byrne said the town hall meetings were an idea that came early on when

ASUA will be making a push for a guaranteed tuition plan for UA students.

Tuition has nearly doubled over the last six years, ASUA President Morgan Abraham said on Wednesday night at the ASUA Senate meeting.

Abraham presented his resolution for a campus-wide push for a guaranteed tuition initiative.

At her State of the State address in January, Gov. Jan Brewer called for tuition to become more stable at the state’s universities.

Abraham got the idea to push for this initiative at the UA after hearing about House Bill 2244 by Rep. Chad Campbell (D-Phoenix), a bill designed to guarantee tuition for four years.

NAU already implements this guaranteed tuition plan, which is known as its pledge program, Abraham said. This pledge program was what pushed his older brother to attend NAU instead of the UA. Since this plan creates incentives for a four year degree, Abraham said it was important for ASUA. “This is the biggest legislative push ASUA has had in years,” Abraham said.

Abraham presented his plan to engage the student body by reaching out to several organizations and utilizing social media to spread the word. He also said part of this initiative will be digital campaigns, writing letters and making phone calls to the state Legislature.

A new club on campus will focus on helping Asian-American students achieve their full potential in the fields of science and engineering.

UA’s Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers was recognized by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona earlier this month and is in the process of seeking chapter recognition from the national organization.

Wilson Kong, founder and president of the club, said that although he and the other members are still ironing out the details, the

said Shelby Deemer, RHA president.

Because Residence Life will no longer be subsidizing the almost $7 extra for executive board members’ housing, RHA had to find a way to pay for housing itself.

RHA could either find an extra $45,000 within its budget or increase the fee Residence Life gives it from students’ rent.

If the proposal isn’t passed, Deemer said RHA will likely figure out a way to reduce costs elsewhere in order to use part of its $21-per-student budget to pay for the executive board members’ housing.

Lisa Coletta, an RHA general body representative from NavajoPinal Residence Hall, said some people might be confused about the proposal because they might think it increases rent.

“I think it will be a good thing because then the [executive board] doesn’t have to worry about how to get that money,” said Coletta, a junior studying family studies, human development and PPEL. “It gives them less stress to worry about that, which means they can better serve our campus.”

In addition to engaging the UA student body, Abraham said he wants to get the surrounding community involved — something ASUA has never done before.

This community outreach would include local PTAs, high schools and professors.

ASUA Sen. Zac Miller, an aerospace engineering junior, said he had a positive experience working in the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid and dealing with students whose scholarships don’t change as tuition increases.

“I am 100 percent for it,” Miller said.

and said the UA administration is not able to move money around as easily.

When Miller suggested reaching out to Arizona State University with this initiative, Abraham said the UA will not be working with ASU. In the coming months, Abraham said he will be making several trips to Phoenix because there could be a lot of support from the state Legislature.

Abraham said by engaging students through a grassroots effort, this bill could be passed.

Students can find other ways to get involved with this campaign by contacting ASUA. “We think this is something every student can kind of buy into,” Abraham said. “This is something that hits home and hits home right away.”

Fun and games with condoms

BY Hannah Plotkin The Daily Wildcat

Campus Health Service held the Sexual Health Resource Fair on the UA Mall on Wednesday in order to provide sexual health and safety outreach to students.

Campus Health Service and other off-campus outreach groups set up shop to hand out lube, condoms, key chains and anything else that might entice students to learn about sexual safety.

Carrie Hardesty, Health Promotion and Preventive Services health educator at Campus Health, was the coordinator of the event.

“This resource fair is really aimed to give students accurate, comprehensive knowledge about sexual health,” Hardesty said, “including different resources and different tools that might help them be safer in their sexual practices or healthy relationships [and] increase their knowledge of sexual health and risk reduction methods.”

Hardesty added that Campus Health has many resources available to students: It can prescribe birth control, insert and remove IUDs and administer Pap testing, STD testing and treatment. It also offers services through the OASIS Program Against Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence.

OASIS provides education on violence prevention and counseling for survivors of relationship violence, stalking and sexual assault.

Sara Campbell, a psychology and family studies senior, worked the OASIS booth at the fair. She played a Jeopardy!-style game with students to assess their knowledge of relationship violence.

“We are hoping to educate students about the different ways to create healthy relationships by pointing out that not everything is physical abuse,” Campbell said. “There can be signs of emotional strain in the relationship that we want to educate the students on how to prevent.”

Hardesty worked with off-campus groups, such as the Pima County Health Department, to provide students with services and information.

PCHD was at the fair to provide free STD tests to students.

“Know your status, get tested,” said Miguel

department of materials science and engineering who is the faculty adviser for the club.

Seraphin said that it will be beneficial for the SASE members to interact with students from similar cultures because they can relate to the challenges faced by one another.

For example, Seraphin said that many Asian-American students feel added pressure from “super-high expectations” placed on them by their parents.

“There is often more importance placed on achievements than the pursuit of happiness,” Seraphin said.

While the new club will encourage professional achievement, it’s really about establishing a sense of community among the AsianAmerican science and engineering students at the UA, said Rohit Uprety, a chemical engineering junior who is vice president of the club.

“I look forward to providing an environment where students can come by and be able to strengthen their professional and academic skills,” Uprety said, “and, of course, meet peers and be involved in a club.”

“I think a big part of sexual health and sexual safety is also the safety of other identities besides heterosexual,” said Patrick Farr, a partner of Wingspan’s Anti-Violence project. “I really hope to spread that and let people know that heterosexuality is not the only identity that needs to be worried about.”

Representatives from Catholic Social Service and Planned Parenthood were there to provide information on adoption, health care and pregnancy services.

fair. The event was coordinated by Bill Simmons, associate professor of gender and women’s studies, and his Sex, Health and AIDS class.

Students threw condom-encased footballs and eggs to one another across the Mall and made condom art on poster boards. Most of the more than 200 students in Simmons’ class were present at the event. Simmons said that these activities were meant to familiarize students with condoms so they won’t be uncomfortable with them in the future.

Simmons’ student Victoria Garcia, a business freshman, was at the fair to help out.

“Just use condoms,” she said. “We’ve got so many condoms, why not just use them?”

CAT tales

Backstage Disney is magical

BY JESSIE WEBSTER The Daily Wildcat

A

sweet 7-year-old girl named Emily came to the Magic Kingdom with one goal in mind: to meet Tinker Bell. Her big brother Aaron, however, was not playing along.

When I first met her, Emily was wiping away the last of her tears. Her mother told me that Aaron had just told his sister that Tinker Bell wasn’t real.

This wasn’t the first time I’d heard a heartbreaking story like this. This time, though, I was determined to fix it.

At the time, I was working as a PhotoPass photographer during a 7-month-long internship at Disney World, taking professional photos for guests in front of different icons and characters in the park.

In PhotoPass, we have a special program called magic shots. In these photos we pose the guest in some silly way and then, as if by magic, a special Disney surprise shows up in the photo.

One of my magic shots was Tinker Bell.

“You know, Tink owes me a favor,” I told Emily. “She’s very busy bringing spring to the mainland, but I bet she could spare a second.”

The little girl’s face lit up immediately and she yelled, “I wanna meet Tink!”

I explained that Tink had been taking fast-flying lessons from Vidia, and she wanted to practice.

“Emily,” I said, “can you make a landing pad with your hands?” She did and I told her to focus her eyes on her hands and wish hard.

Snap!

“But I didn’t see her!” Emily protested.

“Just be patient,” I said. I walked the family over to the PhotoPass view station, pulled up the photo and watched as Emily’s jaw dropped.

“It’s her! It’s her! Mommy, I saw Tinker Bell!” Emily turned around, leapt and wrapped her arms around me. Her mother leaned over and whispered “thank you” in my ear.

This is why Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth.

If you think it’s possible to forget your experience in the Disney College Program, waking up three months later and finding pixie dust on your pillow will quickly change your mind — and bring memories like Emily and Tinker Bell rushing back.

I was at Disney World for thousands of birthday celebrations, anniversaries, marriage proposals and family reunions. I was there the first time little Hayden met Mickey Mouse. I was there when 96-year-old Martha was responsive for the first time since her Alzheimer’s diagnosis five months earlier. I helped make a million memories over the course of seven months. While not all the guests may remember me, I will always remember them.

Was everything as perfect as it is portrayed in the commercials? No. But despite the Code Vs (for vomit), excruciating heat and long — I repeat, long — lines for everything from ice cream stalls to restrooms, my time at Disney World was better than I could ever have imagined.

Since leaving the program, everyone asks me the same thing: “Did doing DCP ruin the magic?” This is hard to answer. I remember reading a composition in senior English that described backstage Disney as a glitterrimmed trash can.

This metaphor rings true, and yet it’s also obscenely false. There were moments when I was ready to tear off my costume and name tag, knock over my tripod and hop on the next monorail out of there. But for every moment I spent pitying my poor unfortunate soul, there were a hundred more where the magic was almost overwhelming.

I remember working with Cinderella one day when a little French girl arrived in full ball gown and slippers.

The parents began to explain that the girl only spoke French and offered to translate. Cinderella politely said that every girl speaks princess. She then taught the little princess to waltz, curtsey and say “dreams come true” in both French and English.

With all the beautiful moments like these, there was no such thing as a truly bad day. Despite what was happening on the outside, as soon as I walked through the train station entrance and saw the glittering spires, reality faded away.

How do you walk away from an experience like that and forget?

You just don’t.

Lack of psychiatric inpatient care leaves ailing impatient said that at the UAMC, successful discharge is the staff’s number one priority.

“There are daily reviews of patients’ progress, and especially how they achieve waypoints established in the treatment plan,” Thienhaus said.

But inpatient psychiatric care like this is underfunded. The U.S. spends approximately $113 billion per year on mental health treatment, but only 19 percent of that money goes to inpatient treatment. Most of the budget is spent on outpatient treatment and prescription medications.

Thienhaus believes that inpatient care might not need a budget increase if Tucson had more resources for the community to help the mentally ill before they become dangerous to themselves or others. Recently, Tucson has created a crisis prevention center, which allows patients to calm down and connect with places that can help them.

Through initiatives like these, Tucson is an example of how our country is slowly taking more steps to help the mentally ill. Over the last few years, the Affordable Care Act has created more mandates for mental health, such as requiring insurance companies to include treatment in their packages. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Act of 2008 requires insurance companies not to let money stand between a person and their care.

Hopefully, hospitals will soon get funding to include more beds and allow them to stop turning people away. Our generally negative attitudes about people with mental illnesses can change as well.

Rather than look at the mentally ill as if they are a nuisance, we can instead work to relieve their suffering.

From “College life lacks hope in love department”

From “We’re not robots, so why are we dating like them?” by Michelle Chan

It’s impossible to ignore the pictures of the current uprising in Kiev, Ukraine — blazing barricades constructed of tires and stone-faced youth roaming the city square with Molotov cocktails. As a result of President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to ignore growing relations with the European Union in favor of neighboring Russia, thousands of protestors have erected camps within the city. They remain there today, refusing to move until changes are made. …

While many of us don’t live in a tumultuous environment as those in Ukraine do, we’re not strangers to problems on the home front. We hear them frequently in the news: global warming, income disparity and a lack of funding for education, among others. But how many American youth are speaking out about it? How many Facebook posts and tweets involve these issues? More often than not, one finds endless rambling on sports, Starbucks and the most foolproof method to achieving the ever-elusive thigh gap.

Our generation has made “relationship” such a convoluted term because of our emotionless effort to communicate with one another. While a cute text might have been super sweet in high school, it’s not going to cut it on a university level. Face-to-face is necessary to get your message across.

Texting has become a whole other language, being decoded by multiple friends who come to a conclusion that is often opposite of the true message. We’ve come to the point where a smiley face could make or break a person. …

We’re so ruled by the expectations of “hookup” culture that we drop all efforts to go that extra step to develop something more. We act as if showing emotions for another is a nothing but a sign of weakness.

In Plato’s “The Symposium,” Aristophanes conjured the idea of love as two lost halves, who once originated from the same body, in perpetual search for completion. The discovery of one’s other half resulted in the consummation of a physical union by which the two become one.

In attempt to simplify our search, we’ve trusted internet algorithms, search engines and artificial intelligence to pair us with our true beloved.

About 44 percent of the American population is single, according to the United States Census Bureau, and nearly 2,500 online dating websites exist, promising that till death do we part, according to a study cited in Online Dating Magazine.

However, an internet search for love may not be the godsend lonely souls were seeking.

Don’t eat the fish

A UA student was arrested on a charge of underage drinking near the Park Student Union on Feb. 7 at 12:40 a.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to investigate an intoxicated man in front of Coronado Residence Hall after receiving a call. The officer witnessed the student trip over the traffic circle by Coronado and fall down, and then approached him.

The officer noticed the student had a strong smell of alcohol, red and watery eyes and difficulty walking and speaking. The student had to be propped up against a wall to keep him from falling over.

As the officer was talking to the student, he abruptly puked; at that point, UA Emergency Medical Services and the Tucson Fire Department were called.

However, the student kept insisting that he had not been drinking and was not drunk and said his current condition and vomiting were due to “eating bad sushi.�

Despite his protests, the student was still cited for minor in possession and handed over to a sober friend to be looked after.

Date dash disasters

A UA student was referred to the Dean of Students Office for urinating in public and for underage drinking on Feb. 7 at 11 p.m.

A UAPD officer was monitoring a date dash at the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma when she noticed two women behind the house. One of the two had her skirt pulled up and was squatting down, urinating.

After the student finished, the officer approached her. The student claimed that although she lives in the sorority house, she was not allowed to use the bathroom during the date dash.

The officer also noticed that she smelled strongly of alcohol and could not stand without swaying. The student began crying and admitted she had been drinking. The student was then cited for minor in possession and referred for public urination.

While the officer was dealing with the first student, the officer saw another woman in the parking lot of the sorority house with a Four Loko. Unable to confront the woman, the officer yelled at her to pour out the alcohol.

She did not comply, and the officer once again yelled at her to pour out the contents of the can. About five minutes later, the woman still had the Four Loko, and the officer approached her. When the woman noticed the officer coming toward her, she quickly tossed the can under a nearby truck and told the officer she had just been holding it for a friend.

When asked to identify herself, the woman gave a false last name and claimed to be 22. When the officer told her she was legally obligated to give her real name, the student complied and admitted that she was only 20.

The woman was cited for minor in possession and was diverted to the Dean of Students Office. The officer also told her that if she didn’t pick up the can, she could be cited for criminal littering. The woman retrieved the Four Loko can and left.

Love conquers the distance College students struggle with maintaining relationships across state lines, but if it’s meant to be, couples know how to make it work

BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ The Daily Wildcat

Love is in the air, and for some Wildcats, it’s traveled hundreds of miles.

Students come to the UA from all over, but they can’t always take their partners with them. These couples try to maintain longdistance relationships between different cities, states and even countries.

Molly Tatosian , a communications sophomore, is in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend of two years, who lives in Chicago. When Tatosian made the decision to come to the UA from Chicago, she said she thought they would break up, but knew she didn’t want to lose him.

Tatosian said it was difficult at first, and though she cried on her flight to Tucson, things got easier as she became more occupied with school.

“I know I love him and want to be with him,” Tatosian said.

She and her boyfriend make the effort to Skype, call and text each other on a regular basis. He is even flying to Tucson to spend time with her on Valentine’s Day .

Tatosian said a couple has to feel a certain way for each other because a longdistance relationship is “not something you would do [for] anyone.” Even though

  PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY NICOLE THILL/THE DAILY WILDCAT

  people thought their relationship wouldn’t last, it is still going strong, Tatosian said.

Jessica Mergener, a biomedical

engineering junior, said that the success of long-distance relationships depends on the type of people involved.

She was in a long-distance relationship throughout her freshman year of college with her boyfriend from high school in Phoenix. Mergener said that when she got to the UA, she realized that they were at different stages in their lives and that it was difficult to understand each others’ interests.

“I get along better with people when I’m physically with them,” Mergener said.

The hardest part, Mergener said, was the breakup, because her then-boyfriend had to drive to Tucson to hear the news.

Her other experience with a long-

distance relationship was with a foreign exchange student from England.

Mergener said that they met at the UA and began dating. When he returned to England for winter break, they still stayed in contact.

“You have to be compatible to stay in touch,” Mergener said.

After the breakup, Mergener said that she traveled to England, which was a “wake-up call” because she found out that the two were just good friends.

Daniel Wheeler, a pre-business freshman , said that while he has never personally been in a long-distance relationship, he believes it requires dedication and a full commitment, but that eventually long-distance relationships “emotionally deteriorate.”

Some couples at the UA may spend their Valentine’s Day evening over a romantic dinner, while others may opt for a quiet night at home with Netflix . But for those in a long-distance relationship, Cupid’s arrow will have to travel a little farther this Friday.

College not too soon to tie the knot

The Daily Wildcat

At the UA, love comes in many different forms.

Joseph Agosttini , a neuroscience and psychology sophomore, didn’t make a move on Trevor Ledbetter, a sophomore studying ecology and evolutionary biology and environmental science, until he found out Ledbetter was a preceptor for his Biology 181 class.

“The teacher created a Facebook group for the preceptors and the students to ask any questions … and I saw his picture, so I clicked on his profile,” Agosttini said. “I kind of stalked him for a bit.”

After much deliberation , Agosttini finally found the courage to send the friend request. Ledbetter accepted the next day. However, he hit a snag when Ledbetter messaged him asking how they knew each other.

“I panicked, and I didn’t know what to say, so I lied,” Agosttini said.

Luckily for him, Ledbetter went along with the story, and the two continued talking until Agosttini asked him out to dinner.

“On our first date, we went to Frog & Firkin, and then we walked to Cold Stone, and we just started talking in front of Yavapai [Residence Hall] for three hours,” Agosttini remembered.

The two became an official couple after their second date, and have been happy together SAVANNAH DOUGLAS / THE DAILY WILDCAT since. On Feb. 20, Ledbetter and JOSEPH AGOSTTINI (left), an EEV and environmental sciences sophomore, and Trevor Ledbetter Agosttini will have been dating for (right), a neuroscience and psychology sophomore, have been together for nearly five months. five months.

Check one for Valentine’s Day plans Single:

Taken:

Idk:

BY BROOKE BOLEK The Daily Wildcat

Valentine’s Day is upon us once again. For a day all about celebrating love, it sure has a lot of haters critiquing every aspect of it. Let’s take the stress out of the holiday this year. Whether you’re having trouble deciding what outfit to wear or what ice cream flavor to go with the sappy movie you and your roommates will be watching, remember, it’s only 24 hours. Here’s how to enjoy your Valentine’s Day, regardless of whether you’re taken, single or anywhere in between.

For those who are taken: Why is it that deciding what sexy accessory to bring into the bedroom is more difficult than planning the actual date? Here’s a tip: Go with what makes you confident and, if all else fails, just turn the lights off. Chances are good that the actual hanky-panky is what will be occupying your partner’s mind.

Mix it up. Chocolates and flowers are overdone and exhausted; however, there is no such thing as dinner being overdone. Have a cozy night in, make dinner at home and eat on the couch while catching up on all the new releases at Redbox.

Over time, Valentine’s Day has evolved into an occasion to spend massive amounts of money at a packed restaurant and on ugly heart-shaped jewelry. Instead, save your paychecks for spring break in Cabo. Show your love after you’ve finished a box of wine in the comfort of your own home, where you can wear your fuzzy slippers and nobody cares.

Love yourself on V-Day just as much as you love your significant other.

To all those single Wildcats: Take advantage of your alone time and draw that warm bath you’ve been waiting for all

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS / THE DAILY WILDCAT

FELICIA CHRISTENSEN LEFT, Ali Smith (center) and Sarah Hester (right) said they plan on spending Valentine’s Day together at Kappa Kappa Gamma. The holiday doesn’t necessarily have to involve romantic dates and over-priced flowers, but can instead be spent with friends.

week. It’s Friday, your tests are done and your homework is turned in, so unwind. Light your favorite scented candle and fill the tub with suds. A relaxing spa night at home is far better than a crowded restaurant and poor service.

All your taken friends will be jealous of your peaceful night.

If surrounding yourself with sweaty, intoxicated people is more your thing, there surely won’t be a shortage of anti-Valentine’sthemed parties this weekend.

Or slip on your favorite pajamas, grab the

vodka and listen to Beyoncé until you’ve convinced yourself that one day you’ll find your flawless relationship.

And to everyone in between: The most awkward situation you can find yourself in on Valentine’s Day is being unsure of your relationship status. Relax, because they’re just as confused as you are. If you’re feeling the pressure, suggest a lunch date instead of sitting uncomfortably through an entire dinner.

Or, do what you have always done best: Party and save that “feelings” conversation until a later date.

Whatever you do on this day, don’t forget its true theme: love. So whoever you love — your significant other, your best friend or even a pet — make sure they know it every day, but give them a little extra lovin’ this Valentine’s Day. — Follow Brooke Bolek @brookecarolinee

How to be single on Valentine’s Day

DO’S & DON’TS

Love is in the air? Someone please hand me an oxygen mask and a cocktail. For some students, Valentine’s Day is an adorable evening to dine out at a restaurant on University Boulevard, followed by a romantic stroll across campus and a kiss in front of Old Main. And that’s lovely! Happy Valentine’s Day, all you folks who will enjoy the company of that special person for this holiday. However, for the other part of the population, this can bring a multitude of awkward situations. Here is a list of things you should and shouldn’t do if you’re flying solo on this national day of romance.

BY ASHLEY REID

DON’T contact an ex or reminisce on relationships past. Valentine’s Day should be a celebration of your current (or lack of ) relationship. So whatever your current standing in that department, embrace it! It’s better to be content and single than with someone who irritates you.

The Daily Wildcat

DO spend time with your single friends. There is nothing more tragic than crying yourself to sleep with “The Notebook” still in your MacBook CD drive — except if you do it alone. Every moronic thing that single people do on Valentine’s Day, such as watching sappy movies, is acceptable while in the company of other single people.

VS.

DO go out. Being single doesn’t mean you’re exiled to your apartment. Go out tonight and have a good time.

Cheers to the single life.

DON’T get a red wine hangover. Nothing says you’re single and sad like waking up to an empty bottle of cheap Merlot, your tongue stained a deep purple hue. Red wine, a popular Valentine’s Day drink, contains an ample amount of congeners, which are toxins found in fermented alcohol.

The more congeners, the worse the hangover. You’ve been warned.

DO eat something sugary. If you can’t be in a relationship, you can at least have chocolate, and that’s almost as fun. My personal Valentine’s calories of choice?

Heart-shaped donuts from Dunkin’ Donuts. Pink frosting and heart sprinkles make everything taste better.

DON’T eat an entire box of Russell Stovers. At least pick up something a little more sophisticated. Godiva?

Ghirardelli? Stay classy, everyone.

their sexual orientation, and think that they may be part of the LGTBQ community, it does get better, and it’ll be OK,” Agosttini said. “We’ve survived. Haters are gonna hate. … What else are they going to do?”

Though some people may not accept homosexuality or gay marriage, Ledbetter said

that it’s important to remain true to you.

“It’s a huge relief when you can be yourself without worrying about what might come out or what you have to hide,” Ledbetter said. “It’s a lot nicer to be able to be yourself.”

“I have friends who got engaged, married and pregnant while in school and never came back,” Cerpa said. “At our age, I think people are in a love mode where they just want to get married and don’t think about the future. It’s like, why do you want to grow up so fast?”

Servellon said she and her

understands why there could be a problem with getting married in college, but believes it’s up to each couple.

“Everybody is at a different stage in their life, so it’s hard to say whether or not people should be getting married in college,” Blomquist said. “It just depends on the persons involved.”

“Of course it’s hard. We have our disputes and whatnot, but we always work it out,” Servellon said. “It can get tough, but we are slowly getting by and everything is going good so far.”

LOVE VS LUST

Exploring chemical stages of romance

BY DARA FARHADI

BY JULIE HUYNH

The Daily Wildcat

The Daily Wildcat

It seems like everywhere we turn this month there are relics of romance. Whether it be obnoxiously large teddy bears or a couple cuddling on a bench, it’s obvious something is in the air — but is it love or lust?

“There is no such thing as love at first sight,” said Chris Segrin, head of the UA’s department of communication. Segrin’s research focuses on interpersonal relationships and mental health.

Another group of researchers from Concordia University was able to map the locations in the brain associated with love and lust in a 2012 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. The goal of the study was to better understand the differences between these two states of mind.

The researchers determined that love and lust activate similar networks in the brain, but do so at different locations. This indicates that physical differences between love and lust exist.

“Love is a profound form of psychological attachment to another person with concern for the welfare of that person,” Segrin said. “Lust is more about the self, one’s own desires.”

The Concordia researchers found that love and lust have a specific pattern of activation in the brain that suggests that love grows out of desire. The results of the study suggest that love is an abstract representation of the emotions and pleasure found in desire.

Segrin explained that love takes a long time to build and a long time to dissipate. Feelings of lust, however, have a more rapid onset and can go away just as quickly, he said.

“There isn’t really love, but lust at first sight,” said Samantha Villarreal, a UA physiology senior. “You have to know the other person and be each others’ best friend.”

Novelty plays a key role in lust, according to Melissa Curran, an associate professor in the UA John and Doris Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences. Curran researches relational sacrifices and commitment.

Feelings of lust are typically more intense in new relationships, but eventually fade as the “newness”

Love means different things to different people. However, the hormones and neurotransmitters released in the brain in response to that heart-felt sensation is the same.

The classic symptoms of being hit

by Cupid’s arrow — flushed cheeks, a racing heart, sweaty palms, dry mouth, and stomach butterflies — are actually caused by epinephrine, otherwise known as adrenaline.

The body goes through three stages that contribute to these feelings of “love,” according to Katalin Gothard, a UA associate professor of physiology and neurobiology at the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute.

Stage One: Infatuation

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

HARRISON HERZOG, a mechanical engineering junior, and Rosie de Queljoe, a journalism junior, met in Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall in 2011.

“Affectionate communication” can result in improved physiological responses to stress, according to a 2009 study led by Kory Floyd, an ASU professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication.

“Lust may bring people together for the shortterm, but it’s love that keeps people together for the long haul,” Segrin said. “Your grandparents stayed together for 50 years because of love, not lust.”

wears off, Curran said. It is possible, however, for couples who have been dating for a longer time to regain those lustful feelings, she added.

“One of the best things you can do is create some novelty in your relationship. You can do something different, something adventurous,” Curran said.

“You don’t need Valentine’s Day to create novelty in your relationship.”

Although lust is commonly associated with sex, it’s the act of physical intimacy — which can be as innocent as kissing — that is crucial to relationships, Curran said.

This kind of intimacy has health benefits.

Although most wouldn’t consider Facebook stalking your crush as a sign of love, it is an act indicative of a precursor to love: infatuation.

“Initially there is an infatuation with somebody,” Gothard said. “And at that point there’s a certain level of neurotransmitters and chemicals [released] in the brain that have to do with sexual attraction.”

The chemical most involved in this stage is dopamine, which encourages the lovestruck to seek sexual reward, Gothard said.

In other words, dopamine is what gets the relationship going. It drives you to interact with the crush you were stalking. However, the high of being around that person can be eventually lead to something more than infatuation.

Stage Two: Addiction

Dopamine re-enters the stage for

Aphrodisiacs: modern day love potions?

the second act of falling in love: addiction.

Love makes us all addicts, or at least it feels like it does when you can’t seem to get enough of that special someone.

“When the relationship becomes a little deeper, you’re totally focused on this person, every thought is around this person,” Gothard said. “It’s almost like a state of addiction.”

In addition to dopamine, the other chemicals involved in this stage of attraction include serotonin, which causes feelings of happiness, and norepinephrine, which increases heart rate, Gothard said.

“Love is a relationship where you can cultivate yourself,” said Alexis Wright, a journalism freshman. Wright and her boyfriend, biology freshman Seth Shaw, have been together for almost six months.

As relationships get more serious, physiological changes occur within each partner that facilitate the transition into the final phase of love.

considered to be aphrodisiacs, according to the study in the South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Tesch compared the consumption of aphrodisiacs like chocolate to Pavlovian conditioning , otherwise known as classical conditioning, which involves training someone to respond to a stimulus in a new way.

“If you pair chocolate with sex, then chocolate is going to be a signal to get aroused,” Tesch said.

Although chocolate might not be a true aphrodisiac, giving your significant other a box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day is much more practical — and far less tragic — than any romance involving a love potion.

because it contains these chemicals. However, experts are uncertain about the romantic effect of the dessert.

“I don’t think there is anything special about chocolate, but the act of giving or receiving chocolate is special,” said Aaron Tesch, the coprogram director of the UA South psychology department. “Anything can be an aphrodisiac if you pair it with sex.”

A l t h o u g h chocolate is perhaps the most popular aphrodisiac, many other foods are said to increase s e x u a l a ro u s a l .

Foods like walnuts and lobster and beverages like alcohol are also

oxytocin

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

JING HAMILTON (right), a sophomore studying East Asian Studies, and Aui Dubey, a computer science first-year graduate student, enjoy the weather on Wednesday outside of Centennial Hall. Hamilton and Dubey have been dating for a few months.

A chemical known as oxytocin plays the leading role in attachment, the finale to the chronicles of love.

Oxytocin is often nicknamed the “cuddle hormone” because of its ability to deepen bonds between people when they hug and cuddle, said Leslie Becker-Phelps, licensed psychologist and author of “Insecure in Love.”

“Children who are raised in families where there is warmth and a sense of feeling accepted and loved have more oxytocin available to them because it is being triggered and nurtured,” Becker-Phelps said. “They have that available to them when they meet people later in life.”

As levels of oxytocin increase in the body, so does a person’s sense of trust, safety and connection, Becker-Phelps said. However, there are also many other factors that play a role in what kind of lover a person will be, she added.

“When the relationship becomes committed and you have a deep attachment to that person,” Gothard said, “then oxytocin, a hormone of attachment and deep connection, is released.”

What triggers the body’s response to the feeling of love can be complicated.

Mental state, hormone levels and relationship history are just some of the other players in the game of love that spur physiological changes, Gothard said.

Despite attempts to quantify a phenomenon that is so deeply embedded in the definition of what it means to be human, the idea of love is still very abstract.

“If they feel in love, they know it,” Becker-Phelps said. “They just feel it.”

dopamine

In fairy tales, medieval romances and even the “Harry Potter” series, using a love potion generally doesn’t lead to a happy ending. However, as Valentine’s Day approaches, many may be wondering if there is some truth to the tales of romance-eliciting elixirs.

Take the legend of Tristan and Isolde, for example. The couple accidentally ingest a love potion before Isolde’s wedding to another man. When their affair is discovered, Tristan is forced to flee, leaving the lovers to suffer from the separation for the rest of their lives.

“This is a great example of how poets use love potions,” said Albrecht Classen , a UA professor in the department of German studies who teaches a course on love and eroticism in the middle ages. “[The love potions] cause problems because the love is beyond this world.”

It turns out that there may be a modern-day equivalent to the medieval potion, and it happens to be an increasingly popular food consumed on Valentine’s Day: chocolate.

Chocolate contains two specific chemicals that pertain to sex, according to a study published in the South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2008. The first is phenylethylamine, a chemical released in the brain when people fall in love, and the second is tryptophan , which activates serotonin , a chemical that plays a significant role in sexual arousal. According to the study, the consumption of chocolate also stimulates the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that releases the serotonin, which leads to the sensation of pleasure.

Chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac

JUST THE TIPS WITH KAT

Three (or more) not always a crowd

BY KAT HERMANSON The Daily Wildcat

K

eith and Roscoe*, two UA seniors, have been together since Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 2012. Six months ago, they made the decision to open up their relationship from monogamous to non-monogamous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mainly been sexually open,â&#x20AC;? Roscoe said about his relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Non-monogamy in our relationship looks like] being able to hook up with other people, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been upfront when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been crushing on other dudes. Neither of us see that as a threat to our stability.â&#x20AC;?

Non-monogamy and polyamory are a challenge to the tradition of two people per relationship that has been ingrained into our society for hundreds of years. Rather than being based in jealousy, possession and boundaries as monogamous relationships tend to be, nonmonogamous relationships rely

on communication, openness and self-reflection.

Non-monogamy/polyamory is the practice of being in or desire to be in an intimate relationship, sexually or not, with more than one person at a time with the consent of everyone involved. Nonmonogamous relationships can take many forms, and depend entirely on the communication and comfort of the people involved.

There is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;? way to do non-monogamy. Some follow group relationship models, where everyone is dating each other; some relationships are open sexually but not romantically; some relationships feature a hierarchy of partners.

The only thing non-monogamous relationships all have in common is that consent is required from everyone involved.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have consent, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cheating.

Roscoe says that his and Keithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship is fluid, and strong communication and upfront vulnerability help them to balance other partners and to maintain their original connection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time Keith went out

often than not based on jealousy [with someone else], I was like, and possession â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ted and Robin, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Woah, why am I so jealous?

right to family. United Nations representatives have said it is impossible to establish a definition for family due to its infinite variations of structure. A man, a woman, and 2.5 kids? Family. A single mother and a child? Family.

An unmarried elderly couple with no kids? Family. Two men and a woman who all love each other?

Family.

We should treat all families with respect and recognize that love is love, and consensual sex is wonderful, no matter who is involved. So whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hooking up for one night this Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, taking both your girlfriends out to a fancy restaurant, spending the night in with your dominant hand or having a delightful orgy in a hot tub, remember consent and communication are always vital. *Disclaimer: Names have been changed because of the sensitive nature of this column. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kat Hermanson is a gender and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies freshman.

THE LOST ART OF LOVE LETTERS If you love me, write me a letter. Sit down at your desk, grab a pen and attack a blank piece of paper like your life depends on it. I want to see exactly where you got nervous and your hand smudged the ink, where you were so excited about your words that you forgot to cross your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad about this, deeply sad. If I could, I would pick all the messy relationship shit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the taxes, the mini-lapses in faithfulness, the nightly dishwasher debate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; over this â&#x20AC;&#x153;best days of our livesâ&#x20AC;? limited-time-offer romp in a heartbeat.

But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that choice. I have to reconcile myself as best as I can.

So far, one of the only things thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped is the metamorphosis, the maturation, the mending of my definition of love.

I used to be caught up in the widespread belief that passive-aggressiveness equals passion, that possessiveness is affection obscured. I breathlessly awaited texts that never came, my jealousy aflame. I cancelled plans. I cancelled my dreams and my personality. I was convinced that I could corral someone in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; keep them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if only I behaved correctly. This, to me, was love.

The Indian guru Osho advises that if you love a flower, you should not pluck it, killing it. Instead, you should let the flower be, appreciate without possession.

Now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after feeling my ability to pluck involuntarily inhibited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I realize that this is the purest, truest explanation of love.

I know I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be my boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate happiness, and he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be mine. Our futures do not belong to one another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not that any couple can be assured theirs will­. In our case, though, we have other stops to make. We have

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Not only do we waste time searching for the glint that might never come, but we view doctored prospects: Our profiles highlight only the best parts of ourselves. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal the little idiosyncrasies that are often the difference between two people hitting it off romantically versus creating a platonic friendship.â&#x20AC;?

other people to be.

But those people will not be unchanged.

Already, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve relearned self-respect, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve relearned independence, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve relearned fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that the fastest cricket bowler has a record of 100.2 mph, that family is an insurmountable joy weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all stuck behind, that I should always try goat milk lollipops and date cookies and candies in packages I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read, that I can almost-sort of do the arm part of bhangra and that I am worth having around â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not ill-suited at all.

I have changed, and so I carry a piece of this relationship in my heart always, a piece of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other half.

I leave improved, and the possibility of my boyfriend one day improving another canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave me despondent. How could I deny anyone else the chance to admire?

I absorb these lessons, and my tongue, my hands momentarily conform to a language that will never be mine: One Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taught, one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only borrowing, one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget. Main tumse mohabbat karti hoon.

So far, loss of Brandon Ashley hasn’t been great for the No. 2 Wildcats, who still remain on top of the Pac-12 BY luke della The Daily Wildcat

1. No. 2 Arizona (23-1, 10-1 Pac-12 Conference) After losing starting big man Brandon Ashley to a foot injury, the Wildcats have transformed their team by putting more of an emphasis on rebounding. So far, the change has covered up the loss of Ashley.

2. UCLA (18-5, 7-3)The Bruins have one of the most dangerous backcourts in the conference, but their inability to rebound and play defense has held them back.

Junior guard Nick Johnson looks to pass the ball during the 54-76 win against Oregon State in McKale Center on Sunday. Johnson has struggled from beyond the arc, but he still has undeniable value.

Pitts on increased playing time

The consequences of sophomore forward Brandon Ashley’s season-ending injury is that new players who haven’t had much of an opportunity to play will get more chances to impact the game, and the Wildcats can toy with expanding their rotation and searching for depth.

Freshman shooting guard Elliott Pitts has enjoyed increased playing time recently.

Pitts said that the game is beginning to slow down and that he’s feeling better during defensive matchups.

“I’ve been feeling much more comfortable on the court,” Pitts said.

“It’s easier to get in the groove when I’m playing more. Before all of this happened, I would get on the court for two, three minutes at a time. It’s definitely hard to get comfortable in [such a short time], but I just tried to go out there, play as hard as I [could] and do the little things.”

When asked what he was going to do to keep himself on the court and enjoy

inconsistent pitching. However, Lopez believes the deep pitching staff and defensive abilities will distinguish this season’s squad from last year’s, giving Arizona the necessary boost to propel the Wildcats back into postseason play.

“They’ll come out in long relief,” Lopez said, “and I’m sure that either Schnabel

more minutes, Pitts said his rebounding and defending skills would make him an asset.

“Defensively, I think I’ve just gotten used to the speed and strength of the game,” Pitts said. “I’ve been guarding Rondae [Hollis-Jefferson] every day in practice, and I think that’s been helping me a lot. Getting out there on the court, it’s made it easier to guard other guys on other teams.”

Pitts said he just tries to stay ready.

Miller told him he would be seeing more time after the California game because the team needed to expand its bench.

Since then, Pitts has been trying to stay in shape as much as he can and has been staying late after practice to put in additional work.

or Soroko will probably get a mid-week start somewhere because we have quite a few [mid-week games] before Pac-12 play. We have about three or four young arms that I’m sure will get some innings here before it’s all said and done.”

3. Stanford (15-8,6-5) The Cardinal has emerged as the conference’s dark horse. Stanford wasn’t expected to be this competitive, but as the season has progressed, the team keeps getting better. The Cardinal has won the games it was expected to, so now it’s just up to the team to knock off the Bruins and Wildcats.

4. ASU (18-6, 7-4) The Sun Devils should have Arizona on upset alert. ASU has lost just one game at home this year — to Washington on Jan. 2 — but since then, the team has crept up the power rankings. The Wildcats beat ASU on Jan. 16 in McKale Center, but the Sun Devils were without its second leading scorer Jermaine Marshall. He’s back, and ASU is dying for a upset of this proportion.

5. California (16-8, 7-4) Yes, the Golden Bears did beat the then-No. 1 Wildcats on Feb. 1. But they have also lost four of their last five games.

6. Colorado (18-6, 7-4) They’re hanging in there.

7. Oregon State (13-10, 5-6) The Beavers did lose to both ASU and Arizona this past week, but overall, OSU has played much better. Roberto Nelson is trying to make a late push for conference player of year, though it’s highly unlikely he will win.

Depending on his recruiting class, head coach Craig Robinson may be on his way off of the hot seat. At the end of the day, having his team just play well won’t save his job.

8. Utah (16-7, 5-6) The fact that the Utes haven’t won a single road game is ridiculous, especially considering how talented they are and how well they’ve played at home. They have a good chance tomorrow to finally capture that road win. Utah takes on USC, which has won just one conference game.

tyler baker/The Daily Wildcat

Sophomore guard Gabe York shoots a one-handed jump shot during Arizona’s 54-76 win against Oregon State in McKale Center on Sunday. The Beavers have greatly improved.

9. Oregon (15-8, 3-8) This season has been a botch for the Ducks.

The 2013 Pac-12 tournament champions have been desperate for a win since the calendar changed. Since conference play started, Oregon has lost four games by two points.

10. Washington (14-11, 6-6) The Huskies just aren’t good, especially in the low post. Washington’s strong and young backcourt could make 2014-15 interesting, but it’ll still need to improve the frontcourt issues.

11. USC (10-13, 1-9) The Trojans play Washington State on March 6. They better not lose.

12. Washington State (9-14, 2-9) The Cougars play USC on March 6. They better win.

The perfect measuring stick

HILLENBRAND INVITATIONAL TEAMS

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Fresh off a three-game sweep of Southern Mississippi to open the season, the No. 24 Arizona softball team prepares to host the Hillenbrand Invitational from today through Sunday.

“I think we’re doing a lot better than we have been,” UA head coach Mike Candrea said. “We just have to continue to stay with the process and continue to get better.”

The 17th Hillenbrand Invitational brings together teams from all over the country and gives the Wildcats considerable game experience over the next four days.

Those participating include No. 4 Alabama, New Mexico, Tennessee State and Grand Canyon. Georgia Tech was penciled in to be a participant, but due to the poor weather in Atlanta, the Yellow Jackets erased their plans to come to Tucson.

The Wildcats will play each team in the invitational at least once for a grand total of six games.

Arizona’s first matchup is against Grand Canyon (2-3) today at 6 p.m. at Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium. The Antelopes arrive on the heels of a 2-3 record in the Red Dirt Classic in St. George, Utah.

In its most recent game, Grand Canyon defeated Southern Utah behind the pitching and hitting of Stephani Pesqueira, who pitched five innings and hit a grand slam to boot.

However, the Antelopes were outscored 29-26 in their first five games and could struggle to outscore the potent Arizona offense.

In their first three games, the Wildcats outscored Southern Miss by 33 runs. They will look to sustain their hot start against the Antelopes.

Leading the offensive charge for Arizona is redshirt junior shortstop Kellie Fox, who is batting .556 with one home run and 10 runs batted in through the first three games.

“I’m having a blast,” Fox said. “Playing the sport I love every single day and coming out to compete is my favorite thing to do.”

Not only is the offense fueling the team, but the pitching staff is also off to a hot start. In the first three games the staff has combined for 15 innings, seven hits allowed, two runs allowed, 20 strikeouts and a batting average against of .137.

A huge factor behind the pitching dominance is the return of redshirt senior Kenzie Fowler. In her two games pitched this season, Fowler is 1-0 with six innings pitched and seven strikeouts.

She pitched the first and third games of the season and spoke on her performance during her return to the team.

“I guess you could say I was a little too excited to be out here. … I was just really excited to be back,” Fowler said.

Looking forward, the Wildcats play New Mexico at 4 p.m. MST on Friday and Tennessee State at 6 p.m. MST on Saturday. Both games will be at Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium and will be streamed live on Pac-12.com.

Stocking up with frosh arms

BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat

This season, the Arizona baseball team’s pitching rotation runs deep.

Head coach Andy Lopez and right-handed pitcher Mathew Troupe agree that this year’s rotation is stocked with an abundance of healthy arms at ranging levels of experience.

While veterans like senior James Farris and juniors Troupe and Tyler Crawford will anchor the staff, young underclassmen will be expected to step up and contribute as relievers who can pitch late innings, or get an occasional weekday start.

“We’re really expecting the young guys to play a huge part this year,” Troupe said. “We have the deepest staff since I’ve [been] here. Every single one of our freshmen is going to get their opportunity. It depends what they do with it, but it really does look like they’ll be ready to get up on that mound and do what they have to do to get us a [win].”

Freshmen right-handers Bobby Dalbec, Austin Schnabel and Luke Soroko are expected to see decent time toeing the rubber in their first year as Wildcats. Dalbec, a power hitter, is a favorite to snag a starting role at one of the corner infield positions, but also has a strong arm and could factor into the bullpen during late innings.

Schnabel, a 6-foot-5, 207-pound CECILIA ALVAREZ/THE DAILY WILDCAT Scottsdale, Ariz., native, led his high FRESHMAN PITCHER Luke Soroko practices with the rest of the Arizona baseball team on school, Notre Dame Prep, to its first- Tuesday at Hi Corbett Field.

BASKETBALL NOTES

Wildcats suffer with Johnson in slump

BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat

Starting shooting guard Nick Johnson has been in something of a slump recently.

While Johnson has scored 32 points over Arizona’s last three games, the junior has failed to convert any of his past 12 attempts from the 3-point range.

This week head coach Sean Miller was quick to defend his leader and pointed out that, regardless of the recent lack of 3-point production, Johnson makes an invaluable contribution to the team both on and off the court.

“He’s so far beyond having to make 3-point shots to play well,” Miller said, “what he does on defense, what he does rebounding, the fact that he plays three positions in one game. He can score at the basket and shooting pullups. He’s had games where he hasn’t shot the [3-pointer] well, but he’s scored.”

Miller said that he thinks the good news for both Johnson and the team is that he’s going to get back on track. “If we’ve been winning games without [Johnson] making threes, imagine how we’ll look when he gets going again and makes a few,” he said.

Recently, Johnson has been relying on a mid-range jumper to accumulate points, veering away from his inconsistent long-range jump shot. He is shooting with 34.3 percent accuracy from beyond the arc this year.

“Everybody looks at me for confidence,” Johnson said, “so I’m just trying to stay confident [in my shooting abilities] for my team and know those shots will go in the next game.”
