Accident hospitalizes three

BY JAZMINE FOSTER-HALL

The Daily Wildcat A motor vehicle accident occurred outside of Chipotle Mexican Grill on University Boulevard on Wednesday afternoon, hospitalizing three people.

Paige Bunting, a communication senior and sales associate at the clothing boutique Collette, said she was standing less than 10 feet away when the accident occurred.

“I was standing right by the front of the store, and all of a sudden I just saw this car back up and hit a bench,” Bunting said. “One girl was lying stuck under the bench. … The ambulance was here in a matter of like one minute, and then everyone was getting carried off on stretchers.”

Alisha Vasquez, who witnessed the event, said she and her friend had been going to lunch when the accident occurred in the parking spot next to their car.

“It looked like she was backing in, and I think she maybe pressed

Fraternity hosts annual run to raise money for cancer research

BY ZAYRO JIMENEZ

The Daily Wildcat The brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha will host the annual Lute Olson Cancer Center Run this Saturday to raise money for women’s cancer research.

Formerly known as CATwalk, the run will take place at 8:30 a.m. with an 8K run followed by a 3K run at 10:30 a.m. on the UA Mall.

The run is held in memory of Bobbi Olson, the wife of former UA basketball coach Lute Olson, who died in 2001 from ovarian cancer.

The Fraternity and Sorority program office created the run to raise money for women’s cancer research for the UA Cancer Center. In the past eight years, the walk has raised about

The Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and the Public Health Student Alliance will host their sixth annual Diversity Celebration this Friday.

The Public Health Student Alliance works to spread information about public health among students, according to Chris Tisch, assistant dean of Student and Alumni Affairs in the College of Public Health.

“It’s really a celebration of diversity in all its definitions,” said Jonathon Schouest, chairman of the Diversity Celebration Committee, “in regards to religious diversity, cultural diversity, ethnicity, sexual identity and socioeconomic status.”

The celebration had its beginnings in 2006, when a graduate student in the college wanted to

UA researchers nurture strawberries by madison brodsky The Daily Wildcat

A team of UA researchers is trying to bring strawberry production to Arizona.

Chieri Kubota, a professor in the School of Plant Sciences, and her team are experimenting with greenhouse produce-growing styles in different counties to find a way to grow strawberries hydroponically in this desert state.

“There [have] been studies in the past for strawberry production outside in season, so the strawberry itself is not new, but hydroponic production is,” Kubota said.

“Therefore, I felt it was important to bring to the state of Arizona.”

Growing strawberries in greenhouses is not a new concept, according to Kubota. Many foreign countries, such as Japan and those in Europe have been doing this for years, she said, but it wasn’t until 2000 that the University of Florida decided to bring the concept to the U.S. “[The University of Florida] demonstrated great work in

Florida, but our research is different because of our climate,” Kubota said. “You can’t compare the two states.”

Kubota said that every single state needs to do its own study.

Arizona has very mild winters with a dry climate, making research difficult, according to Kubota.

After four years of research, the team is now confident enough to present its data, according to Mark Kroggel, a research specialist at the School of Plant Sciences.

“We are hopeful that greenhouse-grown, high-flavor strawberries will be available here in Tucson soon,” Kroggel said. “We have developed the production systems well enough so that we are ready to introduce them to growers who are interested.”

Because strawberries are somewhat challenging to produce this way, it will take growers a couple of years to become proficient, according to Kroggel.

He said, however, that there is no reason that the growers cannot be successful, especially when varieties bred specifically for winter

Esteban Robinson, a physiology sophomore and member of PIKE, said the fraternity has been trying to contact families affected by cancer.

“I tried to reach out to families or people I knew that had been affected by cancer,” Robinson said. “Hopefully, we get a good turnout of people … and hopefully see smiling faces.”

PIKE has been working with Olson all year long to organize the event. Weber said that with just two days remaining until the run, they hope that they have appealed to the people of the Tucson community.

“Including the fundraising, the outreach, the volunteers, there are hundreds of people from many, many organizations and families that come together just to help put it on,” Weber said.

“It really brings people together.”

host a generous celebration of diversity on campus, according to Tisch.

“It started within the college, but there has always been significant interest from the rest of UA,” Tisch said.

The event is returning to campus after a two-year hiatus, according to Schouest, who said that a lack of leadership and support caused the event to “fall off.” This year, however, he plans to bring it back full force, and said he anticipates that it will be very successful.

The event grew from the success of

and plant physiology by working on the project, Kroggel said. The researchers hope this research acts as a “seed project” that will result in further research.

“Maybe this year’s freshmen will be eating great-tasting, locally-

grown strawberries before they are seniors,” Kroggel said.

Harry Potter club still bringing magic to campus, community BY elizabeth eaton The Daily Wildcat

H

arry Potter is an important part of our generation, said Sarah Vining, an environmental science freshman. She isn’t the only one to think so — the book series has sold more than 450 million copies.

But the series hasn’t just inspired an avid fandom — it has also influenced a club on campus, the Harry Potter Alliance, to work to make campus and the local Tucson community a better place.

One motto of the club is, “You don’t need magic to make a difference in the world,” according to Vining.

Vining, a member of the UA’s chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, said she began reading J.K. Rowling’s novels when she was 11.

“I started at the same age when Harry goes to Hogwarts, so I pretty much grew up with it. I really love it and it was a big part of my life,” Vining said.

Vining accidentally joined the club when her roommate dragged her to it, but stuck with HPA because of this love for all things Potter and her appreciation for what the club does.

More than just a fan club, HPA focuses heavily on service, but goes about it in an unique, Hogwarts-esque fashion.

Much like in the novels, the members are sorted into four houses, but with a couple differences.

During sorting, Vining said, “they have this big hat, which doesn’t talk of course, but we all line up, and we sit with the hat on, and they take your

on the gas too hard and then just went over [the curb],” Vasquez said.

Sgt. Pete Dugan, spokesperson for the Tucson Police Department, said the call regarding the accident came in to TPD shortly after 1 p.m. The accident was a result of the driver backing up into a parking space too quickly, according to Dugan.

“The car backed up at a high rate of speed and hit a bench behind the parking spot,” Dugan said. “The bench then hit the door of the business there, causing some minor damage to the door, and three people were injured.”

TPD and the Tucson Fire Department both sent responders to the scene.

Passersby on University Boulevard stopped to take photos as witnesses were interviewed by police officers.

The three people injured in the accident were taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries, said Joey Menke, assistant chief of the University of Arizona Student Emergency Medical Services.

TPD Sgt. Chris Widmer said the three victims sustained significant injuries, though it remains unclear how they were injured.

“When we went back to the hospital to ask them how they got hit, they were not sure,” Widmer said. “We know it happened while the vehicle was backing; we’re just not sure what hit them, whether it was the car or the bench.”

The woman driving the white SUV that caused the crash was also injured, but refused treatment or transport to UAMC, Menke said.

The driver was cited for unsafe backing, Dugan said.

picture, and you say what house you want to be in.”

Vining is a member of Slytherin house, which, in HPA, is dedicated to the environment, not the return of the Dark Lord. Each house has a specific service area that they focus on; those who join Gryffindor fight for equality, Ravenclaws are interested in literacy and media reform, and Hufflepuffs care about self esteem.

One service project that was started by the Slytherins is the Horcrux in the Woods.

“We go out and clean up trash near the Miles Exploratory Learning Center,” Vining said. “We’ve done it so many times that Tucson Clean and Beautiful are going to dedicate a plaque to us, and the mayor might be there.”

The Ravenclaw house is also involved with Quick Quotes Quill, a program that helps children learn how to write and donates books to schools. The Gryffindor house is involved with the annual Slutwalk, and fights for equality for women, Vining said.

Though her involvement with the club was almost accidental, Vining said it ended up being a great decision.

“I know people have trouble finding a way to get involved with the community, and this is a great way to do it and be quirky, and it’s a great way to meet people that are different,” Vining said.

Success can’t seen on bank statements BY nick havey The Daily Wildcat

W

hat is success? In America, it seems to be a perverse product of capitalism — exorbitant wealth with a small side of family and emotional stability.

But it isn’t the only version of prosperity students should be looking for. I’m not suggesting some neobohemian revolution, but it’d be nice to see a departure from the vapid cloning of yuppies that colleges produce every year.

Liberal arts and other purportedly inadvisable majors should be encouraged, not condemned. But college advisers and parents are notorious for advising students away from liberal arts and humanities degrees, which promote critical thinking and adaptability, because they believe they lack practical applications.

Fortunately, this stigma is starting to shift. Clayton Christiensen, a professor at Harvard Business School, said in an interview with CNN Money that motivation and satisfaction in work are better measures of success than financial earnings. He warns against judging schools based on test scores, schools will hold their students to rigid standards.

This reaction is knee-jerk and constant.

Education is meant to be a bastion that preserves culture, bettering yourself and, ultimately, happiness.

Not everyone agrees. David Reynaldo, owner and founder of California-based college admissions consulting and major-matching business College Zoom, suggests that “the key with majors is to find something that you’re good at with skills that have market value.”

According to the Yahoo Education article he’s quoted in, those majors certainly don’t include architecture, fine arts, philosophy, religious studies, anthropology, archaeology or film, video and the photographic arts.

The number one major it touts as useful when it comes to landing a job that generates the classic American definition of success — wealth, power and 2.5 children — is accounting. It may be a stable field of work at only 6.8 percent unemployment, but for many students who are pigeonholed into this or other “safe” majors — like finance or business administration — it just isn’t quite what they thought they’d do.

Jessie Marman, a physiology and visual communication sophomore, said she maintains her science major as a backup to please her worried parents.

“Our society teaches people that what they like to do and what they should do for their career aren’t necessarily the same,” she said. “I met a lot of opposition from my parents, peers and even my adviser over concerns for my future job options — ‘Art? But you’re so smart!’”

I don’t have to worry because if I decide to become a freelance writer or street artist, my parents would support me. But for some, the fear of becoming a financial burden or being incapable of sustaining a lifestyle is a large factor in the pressure to select a “safe” degree.

“That’s a myth out there that somehow if you major in humanities, you’re doomed to be unemployed for the rest of your life.” said Debra Humphreys, vice president for policy and public engagement at the Association of American Colleges and Universities who co-authored a report suggesting otherwise.

The report says that by the time they reach their peak earning years, between 56 and 60, liberal arts and humanities majors are earning far more than their pre-professional counterparts who graduated with “safer” degrees. The report also points out the importance of earning a graduate degree when considering a liberal arts or humanities path because job options, while broader and more extensive than other fields, often start at lower pay grades.

There seems to be a mentality that if you can’t quantify the results of something — a degree for instance — then it’s worthless.

That’s simply not the case.

Students should be able to pursue liberal arts degrees if they meet their interests. Success is not a predetermined endpoint, it is dependent on the happiness of the pursuer, and if creative writing makes you happy, more power to you — I’ll be delighted to read your book.

Last Friday, one student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office at 1:25 a.m. for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and a second was referred for a Code of Conduct violation.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers went to Coronado Residence Hall early on Friday morning because of a report of a strong smell of marijuana coming from a particular room. One resident answered the door when an officer knocked; the second student was coming out of the bathroom as the officer entered the room.

When asked if there was any marijuana in the room, both students said no. However, the second officer noticed a small bag of a green leafy substance sitting in plain sight on a desk. When asked again if they would mind the room being searched, the students exchanged glances, and one retrieved the bag from the desk and handed it to the first officer.

Inside the bag was a joint, unrolled marijuana and a grinder. The first student admitted to buying six grams of marijuana for $50 and smoking two times a week.

The student was read his Miranda rights and asked if he understood them, but replied, “Not entirely.” The officer then reread his Miranda rights and explained them to him.

Neither student was arrested. The drugs and grinder were placed into property and evidence.

‘I don’t want to shit you…’

A student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for the possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in Coronado Residence Hall last Friday at around 11:30 p.m.

After a resident assistant reported the smell of marijuana coming from a room in Coronado, two UAPD officers were sent to investigate.

When the officers knocked on the door a student answered and identified himself as a suitemate, but not the actual resident of that room. He was asked to get the actual resident, which he did, and he was then allowed to leave since he had just arrived at the room.

The officers told the resident that they were here because of the strong odor of marijuana in his room.

He replied, “I don’t want to shit you; I have some,” and gave the officers a circular container with marijuana buds, two glass bongs with a visible residue of drugs and an orange prescription bottle with traces of dope in it.

The resident said he had gotten the bongs from a glass shop and purchased the marijuana from someone he didn’t know for $50.

When asked how he knew where to find a dealer, the resident replied, “I live in Coronado — everyone here knows where to get it.”

The resident was referred to the Dean of Students Office for diversion.

Tights are serious business

A UAPD officer investigated a possible threat to the UA on Jan. 29.

A tweet reading, “I’m getting so heated. About to launch a terrorist attack on university of Arizona,” was brought to the officer’s attention by UA Strategic Communication Specialists.

The officer researched the person who had tweeted the statement and eventually found a phone number. The person was then contacted by a detective.

The person seemed very embarrassed when she found out why she was being called and apologized.

She explained that the tweet was just part of a playful argument with a friend about nylon tights, and that she wasn’t going to attack the UA and didn’t have the means to do so.

The detective asked her to remove the tweet from her feed, and she did.

ARIZONA FOOTBALL DIRECTOR of on Campus Recruiting, Matt Dudek and Head Football Coach Rich Rodriguez, talk on the phone with local incoming freshman and recruit Cameron Denson about his commitment to the University of Arizona, on Feb. 5th, 2014. Denson is a four-star recruit from Tucson and a senior at Salpointe Catholic.

National Signing Day is always a time full of hope and excitement for coaches and fans alike, and this year is no different. Arizona football welcomed 25 “Our Kind of Guy” players, nine of whom come in as four-star recruits, in the third recruiting class for coach Rich Rodriguez at Arizona.

“This class, particularly the guys on defense, are all going to get thrown in there with a shot and see what happens,” Rodriguez said.

Of the 25 players who had signed their National Letter of Intent as of Wednesday, 14 are offensive players and 11 are defensive.

On the offensive side of the ball, Rodriguez and his coaching staff signed five offensive linemen, two running backs, two tight ends, three wide receivers and two

the impact they could have on the upcoming season.

“We’re better, we’re deeper and we’re faster,” Rodriguez said.

Apart from the players that signed, the lack of commitment from some recruits was also a topic of discussion.

Several high-profile recruits, such as cornerbacks Jalen Tabor and Naijiel Hale, either de-committed from Arizona or had their offers rescinded by the coaching staff over the past month or so.

“If a guy is committed and visiting somewhere else, he’s not committed, he’s just interested,” Rodriguez said. “There have been guys that have been committed to us that want to go visit somewhere else. Go ahead, you’re no longer committed to us.”

After suffering its first loss of the year last weekend, No. 2 Arizona (21-1; 8-1 Pac-12 Conference) seeks to regain its composure tonight in McKale Center.

The Wildcats look to get back on track against offensive-minded Oregon (15-6, 3-6 Pac-12).

With so many freshmen and transfers, the Oregon team has struggled to mesh; it has had a roller coaster of a season.

The Ducks were without their point guard, sophomore Dominic Artis, for the first nine games, but managed to win all 12 of their nonconference games and even reached a top 10 ranking. Since returning, Artis hasn’t been as effective as he was his freshman season, and his return didn’t help Oregon sustain its top-10 status.

Following the nonconference schedule, UO took a quick tumble. Oregon owns a 3-6 record and is no longer in the top 25, but don’t let that fool you.

The Ducks possess one of the most lethal offenses in the country. They are a consistent free-throw shooting team, making 10 percent more free throws than the Wildcats.

Oregon’s 84.7 points per game is the sixth highest in the nation, compared to Arizona’s average of 73.5 .

However, the Ducks’ offensive proficiencies don’t transfer over

FRESHMAN FORWARD Rondae Hollis-Jefferson falls on the floor after shooting a field goal during Arizona’s 65-56 win over Utah on Sunday, Jan. 26. Hollis-Jefferson is expected to start tonight in place of injured Brandon Ashley.

It was less than a year ago that Arizona softball sent in a pitcher to pinch-hit with two on and two out in the bottom of the last inning on senior day against then-No. 3 ASU — but those days are long gone.

The Wildcats return all their everyday players except Brigette Del Ponte, and add junior shortstop Kellie Fox. Fox transferred from UCLA, where she was first-team All-Pac-10 as a freshman, but she had to redshirt last season due to NCAA transfer rules.

The Wildcats also add senior pitcher Kenzie Fowler to the rotation. The two-time AllAmerican took a medical redshirt last year because of a back injury.

“We have more talent than I’ve ever, ever seen on one team, and our starting nine is just unstoppable,” junior first baseman/outfielder Hallie Wilson said. “I just can’t wait for the season to get going.”

Last season Arizona went 33-26, 9-15 in the Pac-12 and 1-2 in the NCAA tournament, its worst season in years. The Wildcats used that early exit for motivation and have been working since July.

Last season’s bummer is today’s thunder

BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Daily Wildcat

Every NCAA baseball team wants to go to Omaha. After winning the 2012 College World Series and missing an invitation to the tournament last season, the Arizona baseball team is starting the season with extra motivation.

“There has been times when we haven’t gotten in and I said, ‘Yeah, we don’t deserve to get in,’ but I really felt that this team deserved to get in last year,” head coach Andy Lopez said.

When Arizona didn’t get invited last year, the committee cited Arizona’s poor RPI as a cause for missing the tournament.

What not many people know is that Auburn canceled a three-game series for Arizona and that affected the team’s RPI at the end.

“That’s where I wished they took a little bit more detailed information,” Lopez said.

Since 2006, there has been four national champions from the Pac12 Conference; Oregon State took the title in 2006 and 2007, Arizona in 2012 and UCLA in 2013.

Last year, only four teams from the Pac-12 were invited to the tournament: Arizona State, Oregon, Oregon State and UCLA. “It wasn’t only a slap to us as a

“I’ve been very pleased with the work ethic,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “I think they’re really excited for this weekend to get here and play someone, so I like what I see.”

The Wildcats will feature five pitchers. It wasn’t that long ago that the UA relied almost solely on Fowler.

“Five pitchers, that’s really cool; it’s going to be interesting how they utilize us all,” Fowler said. “I think there’s a lot of ways that you can kind of put us together, build off of each other, so we can be really creative and that’s going to be a good asset for us.”

Fowler’s freshman year she made 52 appearances, starting 47 of 66

games. Arizona lost to UCLA in the championship series and hasn’t been back to the Women’s College World Series since.

The pitching staff boosts two other seniors, Shelby Babcock and Estela Piñon, as well as freshman Michelle Floyd, who was first-team all-state in 2011, 2012 and 2013 in California.

Candrea said the pitching staff has different, complementary styles and that they can have a “quick hook” if someone struggles.

The infield returns two starters and adds in Fox at short and freshman Mo Mercado at second base. Mercado’s uncle Richard Mercado played baseball for Arizona from 2002 to 2004.

Candrea said that the infield is a strength for the team and that the

players have “great experience,” and that Mercado has “great instincts” despite being a freshman.

“I think the biggest thing with the infield right now is that they’ve all got good softball instincts,” Candrea said.

In the outfield, the Wildcats return senior center fielder Alex Lavine and junior left fielder Chelsea Suitos.

The Wildcats have seven other outfielders to fill the other spot, such as speedy freshman Eva Watson, who Candrea compared to former Wildcat player Caitlin Lowe,a four-time AllAmerican and the school’s all-time steals leader, who is now a volunteer assistant coach for the team.

this year. We really want to get back this year, especially after not being back for a year,” Moore said. “It’s a bummer not being there and having to watch that on TV and not experiencing it.”

Sophomore infielder Kevin Newman is ranked as the 27thoverall prospect in his class by Baseball America. But last year, Newman wasn’t able to experience the ride that Moore had when he was a freshman.

This season, Newman has higher expectations. He said he is now more motivated to help the team and reach the tournament. If Arizona baseball plays better this year, RPI won’t matter, and it won’t be up to the committee to deny the team an invite to the tournament.

“Anything shorter than Omaha, for the whole team, would be failure,” Newman said. “It was definitely a chip on the shoulder for all of us.

We weren’t happy about it. We thought we were going to get in and we didn’t, so we just have that much more motivation.”

The season begins on Feb. 14 at Hi Corbett Field against Kent State.

Arizona will have some work to do. In the Perfect Game USA preseason top 25 rankings, which were announced last week, the only schools from the Pac-12 were the same that made the 2013 tournament.

Their hunger is renewed,” Miller said. “You already have a hungry team that’s done a lot of good things, [then] something is taken away from you and your effort level and your concentration is almost elevated because you lost somebody who is very meaningful to your team.”

to be a really impactful, twoway player,” Siegel said. “He’s a legitimate candidate to be our starting third baseman as a true freshman.”

Hoard, a Tucson native who, committed to the Arizona before the 2012 National Championship, will bring a smooth, powerful bat to the lineup. In his high school career, Hoard hit .448 with 38

doubles, nine triples, 25 homeruns and 118 RBI over 92 games played.

“Comparing this season to last season, we’re missing some power threat in the lineup,” Siegel said.

“I think [Hoard] brings that to the table as a left-handed batter. He’s a confident hitter and has a very good offensive skill set.”

This past week in practice, Hoard made shock waves by

hitting a homerun over 400 feet to straight away center field at Hi Corbett field.

“I feel like we are a strong [freshman] class,” Hoard said. “I think we are going to contribute to this team in a really special way.”

The journey to Bennu and back

BY MARK ARMAO

The Daily Wildcat

A team of UA scientists plans to land a space probe known as OSIRIS-REx on a moving asteroid named Bennu. The goal of the mission is to collect samples of the asteroid’s surface material and transport them back to Earth for analysis. The $1 billion mission, funded by NASA, will span more

March 18, 2019 — Recon

Sept. 3, 2016 — Launch

The mission will begin as an Atlas V rocket roars to life at the Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral, Fla. Leaving a trail of orange flames, the launch vehicle will accelerate out of the Earth’s atmosphere and into space, where it will deploy the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.

As the craft hurtles silently through space, it will be in constant communication with teams on the ground who will monitor everything from the craft’s speed to its thermal environment, said Edward Beshore, deputy principal investigator for the mission.

“When you go out on a hot day in Tucson, you have ways to get rid of that heat … like sweating,” he said. “It’s very hard to get rid of stored heat in a spacecraft.”

To avoid overheating, the spacecraft will “rotate like a rotisserie,” he explained, which will move the hotter parts of the craft into shadow.

Over the course of several months, the craft will use UA-developed cameras as well as other instruments to map the surface of Bennu and analyze its mineralogy. The object of the recon phase is to identify an area that is both scientifically interesting and safe for touchdown.

As the craft approaches the asteroid, which travels around the sun at an average speed of 63,000 mph, it will use an array of small rocket thrusters to decelerate before entering into orbit around Bennu.

The time spent near the asteroid is the most dangerous phase of the mission, Lauretta said. Despite the incredible complexity involved in hovering a multimillion dollar spacecraft precariously over a 500-meter-wide space rock that’s bulleting through the cosmos, Lauretta said the mission is really quite simple in essence.

“We’re flying a spacecraft into a giant rock,” Lauretta said, “and it’s got to survive.”

March 3, 2021 — Return Cruise

The craft will perform further observation and analysis of the asteroid as it orbits for nearly two years. Along with lining up the craft for its journey home, the extra time means the team can conduct two additional collection attempts if the first attempt fails.

When the time comes, OSIRIS-REx will fire its thrusters and leave Bennu in the dust.

than 7 years and enlist the help of scientists from around the world. Analysis of the asteroid will provide clues about our solar system’s past and the compounds that may have seeded life on Earth, according to the mission’s principal investigator, Dante Lauretta.

Based on a notional timeline for the mission, the following entries chronicle the journey of OSIRIS-REx as it travels to Bennu and back.

July 22, 2019 — Sample Collection

The culminating moment of the mission will take place almost three years after launch. A 6-foot-long metal arm known as the Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism will unfold as the spacecraft inches toward the surface of the asteroid.

“It will be a decade and a half worth of work to get us there — a lot of time and energy,” Lauretta said. “And it all comes down to getting that spacecraft where we want to, at a safe attitude, on that asteroid’s surface.”

Once the sample collector head makes contact with Bennu, a puff of gas will be directed at the surface material, causing it to circulate and collect inside the device. After successfully capturing at least 60 grams of asteroid material and stowing it inside the return capsule, OSIRIS-REx will drop back from the asteroid.

Sept. 24, 2023 — Sample return

Following a two-year odyssey through the vacuum of space, OSIRIS-REx will enter orbit around Earth. It will then take aim at the Utah desert and deploy the return capsule, which will plummet toward Earth at around 27,000 mph before being slowed by a parachute.

On Earth, the sample material will be analyzed at the atomic level to determine the asteroid’s chemical composition. Sample scientists such as Tom Zega will look for organic compounds like amino acids and sugars, the building blocks for life.

“Not a day goes by when I’m not in awe of the fact that I can hold a piece of the solar system in my hand and [with an electron microscope] I can see the atoms that this thing is made of,” Zega said. “So, when this sample is returned to Earth, and we get to look at it in the laboratory, it will be remarkable.”

Closest supernova in 40 years lights up the Tucson night sky

BY MICHELLE KOSTUK

The Daily Wildcat

An exploding dwarf star is lighting up the Tucson night sky.

The supernova, caused by the explosion of a small star known as a white dwarf, has appeared in a nearby galaxy. Named 2014 J, it is the closest observed supernova in 40 years, said Thomas Matheson, an associate astronomer at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory.

Matheson specializes in supernovas and things that go “bump in the night.”

Because of how close the supernova is to Earth, researchers and the public alike have an opportunity to get a closer look at the dying star.

“This is a star that is destroying itself. It is dramatic and a lot of fun to look at,” Matheson said.

The star appeared in the Cigar Galaxy, otherwise known to astronomers as Messier 82, or M82 for short.

“The research aspect [of space] has helped us develop satellites and [has] given us cell phones,” said Ashley Stinnett, a researcher for the UA Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology. “Between the

bottom of the ocean and outer space, it’s all we have left to explore.”

A common misconception about space is that the night sky is fixed and unchanging, Matheson said. On the contrary, everything is always changing, and supernovas are no exception, he added.

There are two kinds of

supernovas: the thermonuclear collapse of small stars, like 2014 J, and the collapse of massive stars.

“I think some people worry that science takes away from the wonder of it,” Matheson said. “I think that’s the wrong way to look at it, because as we peel away the layers, it becomes even more wondrous the more you learn.”

2014 J’s brightness remains consistent, much like the collapsed white dwarf stars that came before it. The brightness consistency allows researchers to measure how far away the star is from the earth.

“When a car is coming toward you, you can guess how far away the car is by how bright the lights are,” Matheson explained.

“It’s the same game, except we measure exactly how much light there is.”

Although the supernova can be viewed using a relatively small telescope, the public can get a better view using a larger one, like the one at Kitt Peak National Observatory, said Jeronimo Cruz, a Kitt Peak Night Guide.

Humans have always been fascinated by the stars, Matheson said.

“Humans have gone out, sat in front of a campfire, looked up at the sky and wondered where they came from and what [it all means],” Matheson said. “We have an opportunity to answer those questions now.”

DANIEL FRIED, an Honors College senior triple majoring in mathematics, computer science and information science and technology, will be studying in Cambridge in October as a recipient of the Winston Churchill Award.

throughout the U.S. by the Board of Trustees of The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation.

During his time at the UA, Fried has worked with UA professors Paul Cohen, Stephen Kobourov and Kobus Barnard, in addition to doing research abroad in Japan and Germany.

Within the past couple of years, Fried has worked on several research projects, the results of which were all published, Kobourov said.

“This is hard to do, even for experienced professors,” Korbourov said. “In the age of grade inflation and easy superlatives, Daniel is truly outstanding.”

However, research is not Fried’s only focus as a student. He has participated in Model United Nations conferences at the UA and is also a student ambassador for the College of Science.

“There are so many great opportunities here at the UA. They go beyond just taking classes.

If you have an interest in research, talk to your professors. They’re always looking for good students to get involved,” Fried said.
