he American people have expressed their distrust in the media, which has begun a national discussion on our information-gathering methods. The most pertinent aspect of media, and the journalism profession itself, is civic duty. As citizens of the United States, we are given the unalienable privilege of self-governance. In plain English, we have the right to engage with our government’s actions through voting. We have a say. Open your textbooks: “Freedom of the press” was included in the First Amendment to create a watchdog for the government. Journalism was developed in the United States as the super-secret, cool, fourth branch of the government whose sole purpose is to inform the public about current affairs so they are educated when they step into the voting booth. Now, when Americans receive their news, they actively select which interpretation of reality they prefer. When does the interpretation become the reality? The profitization of the media directly resulted in the

By editorial independence, The Guardian means to say that by implementing this program, it facilitates journalism that is free from commercial bias and not influenced by billionaire owners, politicians or shareholders. “This is The Guardian’s model for open, independent journalism: available for everyone, funded by our readers,” appears underneath every online Guardian article. “This means the responsibility of protecting independent journalism is shared, enabling us all to feel empowered to bring about real change in the world,” The Guardian wrote. “And by keeping all of our journalism free and open to all, we can foster inclusivity, diversity, make space for debate, inspire conversation — so more people have access to accurate information with integrity at its heart.” Information should never be a privilege, plain and simple. In a perfect world, the truth would be free, but cost has now become a side effect of being informed. We have been blinded by our opposition to one another and are now left with a broken system desperately in need of repair. The longer the intense polarization continues in the portrayal of true events, the farther we will stray from reality.

polarized state we find ourselves in today. The internet, in need of readers and money, began changing their interpretation of events to appeal to a certain consumer base. We live in an age where truth has become subjective, and in order to even the playing field, many people look at multiple news sources in one day. To gain some grasp on the truth, one must look at information from each viewpoint to fully understand the social importance of the news. Unfortunately, one can only read so many stories free of charge. To compensate for the growing use of online news sites and declining print ad revenue, institutions such as the New York Times or the Washington Post have established paywalls on their sites. Paywalls occur after one has read past the number of free articles each outlet allowed. The average citizen may not pay these paywalls any mind (haha). According to a survey conducted by Pew Research Center in 2018, roughly two thirds of American Adults, at 68 percent, get their news through social media. However, many consumers reported that they expect the information they encounter online to be inaccurate. For those of you still reading, there is hope. Papers such as The Guardian have created solutions that fund the paper without implementing a paywall, freeing it from the burden of financial influences. “Readers’ support powers our work, safeguarding our essential editorial independence,” The Guardian wrote.

ARTS & LIFE | BANNED BAND
Banned Band: The story of local ‘80s punk band ‘UPS’ The ‘80s manic thrash/hardcore band Useless Pieces of Shit were the first and only band to be banned from the University of Arizona campus, but that is hardly where their story ends BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs
In 1984, the local manic-punk band Useless Pieces of Shit became the first music group to be banned from the University of Arizona and inadvertently paved the way for the local hardcore music scene in Tucson today. On Sept. 27, UPS played for an “Eat to the Beat” concert in the UA Cellar, a series of lunchtime concerts held by the Student Union Activities Board at the time. Educational institutions were not the band’s usual venue, but the DIY members of UPS “lived under the philosophy that any press was good press”, according to then-guitarist Slug Useless. According to an article published by the Daily Wildcat, about 200 people attended the concert — already cutting close to the Cellar’s capacity for 250 people — and a good amount of them were students from nearby Tucson High School, who had cut class to attend, the article read. “Tucson High School wasn’t entirely too happy with us,” said vocalist Lenny Mental, now a tattoo artist at Sacred Art Tattoo Studio in Tucson and a vocalist for The Besmirchers. “All these kids just didn’t show up for class.” UPS gained a steady following among high school students, particularly those from THS, thanks to its convenient proximity to Historic Fourth Avenue and the emerging punk-rock scene on those streets. This crowd of fans at the concert were blamed for the ensuing debacle — what amounted to a food fight. Food was thrown, and furniture was moved, but no actual damage had been done to the property. Nonetheless, the SUAB unanimously moved to ban UPS and their fans from the premises. “Of all the bands that played there, like Black Flag and The Misfits, UPS was the only one to ever

be banned,” Lenny Mental said. “It was really blown out of proportion. Nothing really happened, it was all in good fun.” Following the self-proclaimed “23 minutes of terror,” UPS wound up in a few articles by the Daily Wildcat and quickly gained notoriety for their intense live shows and raving fans. “It freaked everyone out, because all these kids were slam dancing. The Arizona Daily Wildcat wrote a bunch of stuff about us, and it created a big stir,” said Slug Useless, who was a co-founder of UPS and revived Disillusion Music Label. “It was just different from what everyone was used to. Tucson was always very straight, and our strangeness seemed threatening.” That was just the beginning of their true fame, but it was also the
beginning of the end for the shortlived band, Slug Useless said. “That show put UPS on the map, but ironically, that ‘bad boy’ image that we created, which really was just a fabricated thing, ended up hurting us in the long run,” Slug Useless said. “We couldn’t get shows at any of the clubs in Tucson. People thought we were going to come and wreck the place, which really wasn’t the case at all.” UPS was founded during a turning point in music, when punk rock was still new, exciting and misunderstood. “In the early ‘80s, there was something in the air that was just happening all over, little music scenes popped up all over the country,” UPS vocalist Sleepy Pieces said. “The thing that always
astonishes me to this day about Tucson is how many of the bands were and are really good.” Tucson is not commonly associated with American hardcore, but contrary to that assumption, Tucson was a breeding ground for punk-rock music, the likes of which were unparalleled across the country. The Tucson music scene was exclusively cover bands at clubs for a long time, but during the punk-rock emergence, Tucson’s Fourth Avenue was the first stop on any touring band going east from California. The Backstage, a box-like punk rock club where the present-day Tucson Thrift Shop stands, brought in major bands like Black Flag and The Ramones, but there wasn’t a local scene until after it burned down
in 1982. With nowhere for major alternative bands to play, Tucson was left to its own devices and made way for a punk-rock scene. Tucson Hardcore — affectionately acronymed THC — was a ragtag underground organization of punk rockers and thrashers who collectively worked a hodge-podge of wild desert concerts and backyard house parties. The dream was not making it in music, according to Slug Useless. It was just making music. “We realized that no club was going to support us. We did some recruiting to create a scene and it kind of opened up a do-it-yourself mentality,” Slug Useless said. Then, in September of 1983, UPS was born from the proverbial ashes of two local bands — Civil Death vocalist Lenny Mental and the remaining members of The Corporate Whores. Both bands had tried their hands at wooing the audience members of the Backstage but fell short. The Corporate Whores members Dr. Blood, Slug Useless and Sludge were not a typical punk band. Their style was louder and more energetic, taking inspiration from heavy industrial noise music. They geared further toward the thrash/hardcore genre. Lenny Mental was a classic punk rocker. “They weren’t a typical punk band, but I was impressed. They still played fast, they were unusual. They weren’t the greatest musicians at first, but they had great image,” Lenny Mental said. The guys were introverts too, Lenny Mental said, living very codependent lives within the same house, outside the realm of straight reality. They dedicated everything they had to music. “When I first met them, it was them against everybody else,” Lenny Mental said. “They were the kind of people I wanted to start a band with

— we were all misfits and rejects.” Although short-lived, this band of musical misfits were at the forefront of a new and rapidly changing punk rock, both locally and nationally. UPS released their first demo album, “Ugly in Public,” in 1985, after which they went on their first national tour the summer of the same year. A new lineup went on the “Stupid Punk U.S. Tour” in the fall of 1986, during which all the members got tattoos commemorating the tour — an early instance of tattooing as a punk-rock tradition. The first full-fledged UPS vinyl album, “Fuck Shit Up,” was released in 1987, and UPS performed on live television. A second album, titled “It is Written,” was set to release, but the band slowly fell apart. UPS was officially broken up before its release, following Slug Useless’ move to Seattle in 1989. Their music always stood out, even on national tour, according to Sleepy Pieces. They had a ferocious, energetic and innovative live show, complete with clown masks and plenty of audience interaction. “While hardcore punk at its core, the music of UPS was anything but standard, three-chord thrash,” Sleepy Pieces said. “There were twists and turns, humor, sarcasm and a joy of the absurd that worked its way into the soup. I remember one person telling me we sounded like a circus on acid.”
All the while, UPS experienced a series of struggles and frequently shifting lineups. There were several changes of drummers, bassists and lead singers, as members were consistently thrown curveballs in their personal lives. At one point, during their first year, UPS was evicted from their shared house and left without a rehearsal space for several months. Due to their notorious reputation and social distrust of alternative music, UPS had trouble getting shows. “It was a lot of work to put on shows because there was a lot of resistance against us. The police would come and shut us down,” Slug Useless said. “People weren’t very supportive of nontraditional music, whereas in Tucson now, people are much more open to the kind of music that plays at those clubs.” The band’s rebellious image was only exacerbated by local UPS fans, who quickly took to spreading their love by tagging the UPS logo on every available surface in town. “The spray painting wasn’t us, but the kids that were into us. There was a while there where the UPS moniker was everywhere — and I mean everywhere, on everything,” Lenny Mental said. According to Lenny Mental, the walls of THS were defaced so many times it caused the band members trouble. It became so popular record stores at the malls found their
window backdrops spray painted, which often confused workers. Slug Useless believes that the tagging had started innocently, was even flattering, but got out of control. Still, he supported the reason behind the cause, if not the action. “It was never violent, it was just a fuck-you to this white-washed notion of the world people had back then,” Slug Useless said. “It’s still true today that you can get in more trouble for defacing a McDonald’s than for attacking someone, and that sanitized world is all we were trying to go against.” UPS never gained national fame.
These days, not many remember them or how they contributed to the local hardcore music scene today. Slug Useless, who still writes punk-rock music under Art Vandal, has watched the hardcore music scene evolve nationally. To him, the biggest difference between punk rock then and punk rock now lies in level of raw emotion tied to the genre. “That pissed-off attitude that punk rock centered around isn’t really happening anymore,” Slug Useless said. “It’s in different music scenes that I don’t know about because I’m not 18 years old and angry as hell
anymore.” However evolved, the punkrock scene is still around, both nationally and locally. The advent of the internet, streaming and home studios have made music-making more accessible than ever, Slug Useless said. “I now have a son that has been playing in bands for the past seven or eight years, so it’s been fun to listen to some of the bands that he tells me about when he’s on tour,” Sleepy Pieces said. “The underground punk scene is alive and well nationwide.”

NEWS | STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Only two positions with multiple candidates in upcoming ASUA election BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona, UA’s undergraduate student government body, released an official list of Senate and executive candidates for the 2019 general election, which will take place March 25-26. Only 2 out of the 17 races have more than one candidate vying for the position. Despite the lack of candidates, current ASUA administrative vice president Kate Rosenstengel encouraged students to vote online at elections.asua.arizona.edu for their next representatives. “The people that get elected in the ASUA elections do have a lot of say in what happens administratively at UA,” Rosenstengel said. “If students care about how their university is run, which I think they do, then they should vote.” Rosenstengel is all but guaranteed to retain her administrative vice presidential position, as she is running unopposed. Before the list of candidates was released Feb. 25, Marlon Freeman, ASUA elections commissioner, announced the cancellation of ASUA’s primary elections at ASUA’s Feb. 20 Senate meeting, foreshadowing the lack of candidates. “I have decided to cancel the ASUA primary elections due to the fact such elections would not eliminate any candidates,” Freeman said at the time. The cancelation came after ASUA’s elections, normally held in late February, were already pushed back to late March on Freeman’s recommendation last semester. ASUA has faced similar problems of low candidate interest and studentvoter turnout in the past. Last year, a number of college-specific Senate seats went unfilled following elections where no candidates competed for the seats. Consequently, ASUA appointed students to fill those positions. Last semester, ASUA increased outreach and campus visibility in an attempt to avoid a similar situation. “Freeman did a lot of outreach, hosting a number of questions-andanswer sessions for interested students,” Rosenstengel said. “Also, a lot of college senators had events within their colleges to encourage people to run.” Currently, the College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture is the only college which will not immediately

have a senator representing it, as no students are running for that position. The only competitive race most students will vote in is the race to fill ASUA’s three at-large senator positions. Five students are vying for these seats: Rocque Perez, Skyler Kopit, Ana Mendoza, Rodrigo Robles and Mark Jennings. Two students, Matt Hernandez and Taylor Mackie, are competing for the Senate seat to represent the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the only competitive college senator race on the ballot of 13. As per ASUA elections codes, students can cast a write-in vote for any student of their choice. Write-in candidates are only allowed in ASUA general elections when primary elections are canceled.
Barring any write-in candidate victories, Sydney Hess, a former ASUA senator and current chief of staff for ASUA President Natalynn Masters, will assume the student body presidency next year. Bennett Adamson, the current senator for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, will become ASUA’s new executive vice president. ASUA will host a cultural and resource centers forum for candidates March 13 from 5-7 p.m. in Room 203 of the Nugent Building. As part of the elections, ASUA will be hosting a questions and answers session for Senate candidates March 20 from 5-7 p.m. in the Kiva Room of the Student Union Memorial Center. A questions and answers with executive candidates will be held the following
day, March 21, in the Sabino Room of the SUMC from 5-7 p.m. As campaigning continues, Matthew Rein, ASUA executive vice president, and Madeline Melichar, senator for the College of Engineering, recommended Senators reach out to the candidates they know will replace them. “Since a lot of the at-large and collegespecific are running unopposed, please reach out to them to make the transition period so much easier,” Melichar told the Senate during the Feb. 27 meeting. “If they have questions, help them out.” Check the Daily Wildcat for more coverage of ASUA and upcoming elections.

a bunch of jugheads “It’s just a prank, bro,” is not a legitimate legal defense, as several Arbol de la Vida Residence Hall residents learned after a prank war in the hall got out of hand and the University of Arizona Police Department got involved on Feb. 19. While pranks between the residents of a certain wing had been going on for weeks, the tipping point was a threatening note left on a door. The note read, “I will kill your family,” and was apparently signed by one of the residents. After the community director learned about the note, he called the police. A UAPD officer arrived at the residence hall and spoke to several of the wing’s residents. The first and second residents that she spoke to lived together in the room that the note had been found on. The residents told the officer they knew
Read & Ride
about the note, but had assumed it was just a prank and had not felt threatened. They also did not believe that the resident who “signed” the note was actually the one who wrote it. The first resident said he suspected someone else had written it and signed using someone else’s name. They also filled the officer in on the prank war that had been going on. The second resident said several residents had recently begun throwing five-gallon water jugs at each other’s dorms. The second resident also said the person whose name was written on the note seemed to have been targeted. More jugs than normal had been thrown at his door prior to the discovery of the note. He did not know of a motive for the increased jug-tossing. The second resident informed the officer the threatening note had initially been on another door. She then went to speak to those residents. Only one of the residents was home when the officer arrived. This third resident told her he had recently been written up for his pranking behavior and was upset, but he understood why. He said that he knew his behavior in the past, including throwing water jugs, was wrong, and he had been participating in pranks less this semester to focus more on school. He also knew about the note, but like the
other residents, figured it was a prank, that the “signed” resident had not actually written it and that it was not a real threat. He had thrown it in the hall’s trash. The officer then spoke with his roommate, a fourth resident, in a nearby study room. The fourth resident said he knew about the note but didn’t think it was legitimate. He also said after the third resident had thrown a jug at the door of the resident who “signed” the note, the second and fourth residents noticed that the “signer” had reacted in a way that they found amusing, so they threw more jugs at his door. He said he knew his behavior was wrong, though neither he nor the the second resident had gotten into trouble for their behavior. Finally, the officer spoke with a fifth resident, the student whose name was “signed” on the note. The fifth resident recounted the past week’s incidents. While at first the water jugs had been thrown at several doors, after a while, they all seemed to be coming to him. He called out into the hall that it needed to stop. One day, he stepped into the hallway and spotted the third resident in the hallway and said he grew to suspect this resident had been behind the targeted jug-throwing. The frequent jug-throwing continued. Several times, the fifth resident looked out his door’s peephole to see the second or third residents running away after throwing water
jugs. Once, he even tried to confront them, but they ran and hid in bathroom stalls. He filed a report with the wing’s resident assistant, though he was unsure if the alleged culprits were written up for it. The fifth resident went as far as installing a Google Pixel camera to his peephole, which turned on whenever it detected motion outside his door. One morning at around 2 a.m., the camera caught footage of the second resident and another, unknown man trying to open the fifth resident’s locked door. He did not know why they would want access to his room, though he did note other known pranks, such as water or flour being dumped around the room, as possible motives. The fifth resident told the officer he did not feel threatened or want to move from his room, though he was concerned about running into any of the pranksters while alone. However, he also noted the second resident had apologized in a group chat and there were no hard feelings. When the officer asked, the fifth resident denied writing the note that had been found on the third and fourth residents’ door. According to the officer, none of the pranks constituted criminal activity. A Code of Conduct violation was issued for the second, third and fourth residents, which was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

SECOND STREET AND MOUNTAIN Avenue is one of the most dangerous intersections on campus. The intersection has the most reported accidents at 9 a.m. and from 3- 6 p.m.
UA car accidents: May the odds be ever in your favor BY JESSE TELLEZ @jtell27
Like “The Hunger Games” of daily commutes, at almost any given time, the University of Arizona campus is bustling with lines of cars, bicycles and crowds of pedestrians. This constant flow of traffic on the streets and sidewalks often leads to accidents both on and near campus. From the beginning of last semester to the end of February 2019, the University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to over 120 traffic incidents. Sgt. Cindy Spasoff, UAPD’s Public Information Officer in Crime Prevention, said instances where a pedestrian is hit on the roadways, bicycle accidents, car accidents and hit-and-runs all fall under “traffic incidents.” According to the UAPD Crime Map, the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Park Avenue alone had 16 reported incidents this academic year. That intersection also falls under the jurisdiction of the Tucson Police Department, Spasoff said. TPD responded to 28 traffic incidents at Speedway and Park over the past six months, making it the most dangerous intersection on campus. “There’s a lot of pedestrian traffic in that area due to the 7-Eleven, Circle K and food vendors on those corners,” Spasoff said. Spasoff said traffic from residential high-
rises and bicyclists in that area also increases accident likelihood. The second most common site for campus traffic incidents is the intersection of Second Street and Mountain Avenue, which had 17 reported incidents this academic year. On three of the intersection’s corners lie the Second Street Garage, the Student Union Memorial Center and the parking lot for the Tucson LDS Institute of Religion. “That’s a lot of cars coming into such a small area,” Spasoff said. “There’s too much going on there during class changes, especially with the streetcar going through there.” Jenna Rivera, a sophomore majoring in journalism, was involved in an accident near the intersection of Second and Mountain in November. “It was about 1 in the afternoon, and as I was circling the roundabout by the student union, a pedestrian popped up at the left side of my bumper,” Rivera said. “I slammed the breaks, and he tried to stop, but because he was on his skateboard, he instead jumped up and flew right into the windshield.” Rivera said the student who was hit broke his arm, had to get stitches and suffered a slight concussion. She did not get injured and did not get a ticket but left campus that day with a shattered windshield and a dented car door. “The pedestrian who I had hit ended up getting a citation from the police, because he had been on his phone and looked up, and
that’s when he had noticed me,” Rivera said. Alyssa Lizardi, a senior majoring in Care, Health & Society witnessed a similar accident at the same intersection at the same time of day early February. “I saw a guy get hit by a car at the stoplight by the student union,” Lizardi said. “He was riding one of those electric skateboards and got clipped.” The intersection of Park and Speedway and the intersection of Second and Mountain have been hot spots for traffic incidents over the past two years. Of the 292 incidents reported since February 2017, 59 were at the Park and Speedway intersection and 40 took place at the Second Street and Mountain intersection. According to the UAPD crime map statistics, most accidents over the past six months have taken place around 9 a.m. and between 3 and 6 p.m. Over the past two years this trend has remained, with 9 a.m. being the most common time for incidents and also when many UA classes begin. According to Spasoff, a grant the UAPD received will help the department educate students on bicycle and pedestrian safety and enforce traffic laws, which could reduce the amount of accidents on campus. The grant of over $15,700 from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety allows UAPD officers to go to busy intersections and make sure traffic laws are being observed. “We’re basically trying to keep people stopping at stop signs, not hitting pedestrians
and being good citizens,” Spasoff said. The grant also helps the UAPD hold educational tables to provide students with resources and answer questions about bicycle safety. Spasoff said students themselves can take certain precautions to stay safe while commuting: “Keep your eyes on the traffic and don’t expect cars to always stop for you.” She also advises against using cell phones while walking, biking and driving, because the devices can be distracting. “That’s always been an issue since phones became so popular,” Spasoff said. “We see a lot of students looking at their phones and crossing [the street] when they shouldn’t.” Rivera said she thinks students are partially responsible for traffic incidents, especially when cell phones are a factor. “Students either have their headphones in or are looking down texting or just don’t care and will walk in front [of your car], whether you’re moving or not,” Rivera said. “I think UAPD and other officials should be more on the lookout for bikers and skateboarders, making sure they are not using their cell phones while riding.” Traffic around campus is nearly unavoidable while attending classes at UA, but staying aware of your surroundings and following traffic laws can help prevent dangerous incidents. And if you do find yourself in the “Hunger Games” of daily commutes, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Manzo Elementary sprouts garden movement BY ALANA MINKLER @alana_minkler
In a room inside Manzo Elementary School that smells like fresh grapefruit and is filled with plants, art and school experiments, Blue Baldwin, the ecology program coordinator at Manzo, told of a time when her heart was touched. “This student came to school,” Baldwin said. “She was not able to function, and the teacher had asked me if she could hang out with me, just to relax and get stuff done. I had admin stuff to do, but one of the University of Arizona interns had just gotten here when that happened, and I had spotted her. And I asked the student, ‘Hey, do you want to hang out with Erin?’” The student was hesitant, but decided she wanted to go with the intern to help with the kindergarteners’ farm chores in the garden. “And as they walked away, I saw Erin, the intern, just totally register and realize that the student was really upset and not feeling great,” Baldwin said. “And Erin just totally embraced her and honed in and was so sweet and gentle and nurturing and loving. God, I feel like crying. And then next time I saw the student, she was smiling and laughing again.” That was just one touching moment of many at Manzo Elementary School. “It’s not like that’s an anomaly. It was just this really pointed, sweet moment,” Baldwin said. Manzo, from the outside, looks like a regular square building, but when you step inside the space, the classrooms surround a giant area of community gardens, rainwater-harvesting cisterns, greenhouses, composting systems, an aquaponics system and a chicken pen, which interns from the UA helped foster. The interns come from the University of Arizona’s Community and School Garden Program, which revolves around the Community and School Garden Workshop class. In the class, students take an hour and a half of class time at the university and then intern a couple hours a week at school garden sites. They learn about concepts of school gardening like food politics and permaculture and then take what they know and go intern at the networks of school gardens in Tucson. The origins of the gardens at Manzo and CSGP all started with Moses Thompson in 2006, who was the Manzo school counselor. “He did little by little, chipping away,” Baldwin said. She added he found rather than bringing a student in crisis inside an office and asking how they’re doing, it was more effective to get them working outside in the gardens, calming down and processing what was happening. Thompson added insight into what

helped him to come up with the idea for the Manzo gardens. “As my counseling program, I started doing some gardening with kids and saw how great it was for everything,” Thompson said. He saw that parents got more involved and kids were more excited to go to school. “We started working with teachers to use the gardens and saw how powerful it can be as a teaching tool,” Thompson said. Wesley Parks, a graduate student with a Bachelor of Science in neuroscience and cognitive science and a previous intern for the CSGP at Manzo, said, “One of the best things that I took away from it was the relationships that you build with the kids.” One kid in particular would always tell Parks about dreams he had. “Kids, when you’re working with them in an ongoing manner in the internship class, they start to open up to you and you can extend beyond just the gardening and the science,” Parks said. “And so this kid was telling me about his dreams and kind of like his emotional state, and I ... just thought it was really powerful.” Schools from all over Tucson participate in the CSGP. Garden coordinators and teachers meet at the Green Academy, a workshop for teachers to learn how to develop a thriving community garden at
their schools. On Wednesday, Feb. 27, they met at Tucson High Magnet School to discuss how to create healthy soils. “Green Academy is amazing because we can get people from all over to come out ...,” said Mark Reynolds, a special education teacher in the Tucson Unified School District who is on the advisory committee to teach at the Green Academy. “A bunch of teachers and administrators and people from the UA who are working on the same thing and can help is a good resource for all of us.” At the workshop on Wednesday, they gave out plants grown by students with disabilities from Tucson High Magnet School. “Take all the science out of it … if you can sprout a seed in the ground and you can have it grow and watch it and know that you did that, it’s pretty powerful,” Reynolds said. “And then you can do all kinds of lessons around it to have them do that higherlevel thinking, critical thinking about what they’re doing and what it means to do that.” One of the reasons that the Green Academy exists is a lot of school gardens don’t last very long. “It’s like a teacher will get excited and starts it, but then the teacher leaves or changes schools, changes professions or gets burnt out, and then the gardens get
abandoned,” Thompson said. By focusing on trying to create a culture of school gardening within TUSD, “we’ve seen that it makes the school gardens more resilient and that the gardens start to have more support than just one person,” Thompson said. “I’m kind of an accidental gardener,” Thompson said. “Doing a little bit at Manzo just kind of took off, and now I’m a really big believer in the magic of school gardens. I think they’re really powerful.” Baldwin noted how the gardens positively affect the environment of the school overall. “Subsequently the whole school has good vibes,” Baldwin said. “You really get the sense that the kids here are happy and they love coming to school. I really believe that, in large part, is because the natural environment is so beautiful and stimulating, and they’re involved with all of it. It’s not like anything is off limits to them. They plant the gardens, they harvest, they weed, they water, hangout in the greenhouse with the aquaponics.” The Community and School Garden Workshop class is cross-listed with ten other courses and offers a varying amount of credits.

OPINIONS | HEALTH & POLITICS
Personal liberties should stop short of harming children COLUMN
BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
T
he entire country is in the middle of a divisive and longwinded argument over the balance of group security on one side and individual freedoms on the other, and Arizona is an interesting microcosm of the debate at large. The question is whether or not we should make vaccinations mandatory and limit the amount of personal exemptions a person can have to avoid inoculating their children against dangerous illnesses. Time magazine reported in 2015 that nearly one in ten Americans believed vaccinations to be unsafe, most of them supporting the allegation that vaccinating a child increases the chance of developing autism. To put it mildly, the scientific community disagrees. Public Health reported that the allegation that vaccines cause or encourage the development of autism does not match the evidence that autism develops in utero, before a child is even born, let alone subjected to vaccines. Pew reported that 86 percent of scientists not only believe vaccines are important and non-dangerous but also that they should be absolutely mandatory for every child in the country. And even though the Center for Disease Control, American
Academy of Pediatrics, National Institutes of Health, National Academy of Sciences and the World Health Organization all encourage parents to vaccinate their children against countless diseases, some thought at one point to be eradicated, not everyone is on board. The AAFP reported that, in the past 10 years, exemptions given to parents for philosophical and religious reasons have generally increased, though they luckily may be plateauing. They go further to report that in areas with higher exemptions, outbreaks of diseases are larger and more frequent. And just last week, Arizona lawmakers met to discuss changing our laws on personal exemptions and decided to call for a vote for it on party lines, ignoring medical advice all the way along. The Republicans, who sponsored and voted for the bill that would allow parents greater access to exemptions from mandatory vaccinations, point towards personal liberty and the right of a parent to decide for themselves how to raise their children. Democrats, on the other hand, said the issue of disease control goes beyond individual rights if it could lead to the death of children and the outbreak of diseases. So who’s in the right? It’s important to remember that, in the United States, we have a very high percentage of children who are vaccinated, between 70 and 91 percent, depending on the booster, which produces something called “herd immunity,” meaning because there aren’t many people a disease can jump between, those of us who are not vaccinated don’t have to worry as much as people who live in a place where a disease could easily travel. Increasing the number of personal exemptions weakens herd
immunity significantly and makes it much more dangerous for those who can not receive vaccines or those whose bodies aren’t healthy enough to be vaccinated. The scientific community is 86 percent in favor of mandatory vaccinations for a very good reason. The CDC found a correlation between children receiving no vaccinations at all and those with no coverage, meaning that children who become sick by a disease that they could have been otherwise vaccinated against will also suffer the greatest under poor care or put their families under extreme financial burden. All in all, mandatory vaccinations would help protect children and their families from the tragedy of disease and massively expensive medical bills. Personal liberty and the religious freedom enshrined in the Constitution are important parts of living in the United States and cannot be forgotten, but the amount of personal exemptions must be limited as much as possible to ensure that diseases do not take the lives of our children. If we make personal non-medical exemptions as rare as possible while still allowing a limited amount of religious exemptions, we can live in a society where our disease outbreak rates will finally fall instead of rise; those who need exemptions for sincere religious reasons have nothing to fear and can enjoy the benefits of herd immunity. — Alec Scott is a junior studying political science and German studies who volunteered for the 2014 Ron Barber Congressional Campaign.

STILL FROM A DOCUMENTARY by UA film students depicting a reinaction of the legendary theft of Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” from UAMA in 1985.
An American Mystery: Film students bring ‘Woman-Ochre’ to the big screen BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11
The story of the stolen “Woman-Ochre” painting and its journey back to the University of Arizona Museum of Art over 30 years later sounded like it came straight from a mystery movie. Aaron Cargile decided to make that idea a reality. Cargile, a UA film and television student, has been directing a documentary centered around the theft of the Willem de Kooning painting. He will be debuting a portion of the film at “I Dream in Widescreen” in May, as part of the School of Theatre, Film & Television senior capstone. “What I loved about this story was that it had a magical quality about it,” Cargile said. “You have this painting that disappears, and like 95 percent of art that is stolen is never recovered. And this painting was recovered miraculously by these antique dealers. I started to piece it together and realized that really this story was one of the great American true crime stories.” “Woman-Ochre” was originally stolen from the UAMA in 1985 and wasn’t recovered until August 2017, when it was found in an estate sale in New Mexico. In an article published earlier by the Daily Wildcat, Olivia Miller, the curator of exhibitions for the UAMA said, “This painting has been gone for 30 years and it has missed out on 30 years of scholarship. The best we can do is turn this horrible theft into a learning
opportunity.” Cargile said he was inspired to bring this story to the big screen because of the captivating story that comes with the painting. “This painting has brought so many people together in its story of the recovery, whether it was the whereabouts of the painting in that 30-year period or whether it was about the story of the antique-store owner who bought it for a couple hundred dollars,” Cargile said. “It’s been a really incredible story.” With a project as big as this, Cargile said he couldn’t do it all alone. Reed Chandler, the co-producer of the documentary, acts as the overseer of the project, making sure all the tasks are done in a timely fashion. “As producer, you make a timeline for all of the project goals, you facilitate a lot of meetings, you help with any funding, you help create the budget and you help lock in all of the crew for any filming that happens,” Chandler said. “It also includes helping Aaron and honing in on the creative vision that he wants.” Brittney Olsen, the other producer for the film, also helps make sure everyone is doing their jobs. “When we shot reenactments last month, I helped put the crew together and make sure that Reed had what she needed to cast the film appropriately,” Olsen said. Cargile said the documentary’s crew consists of current students and UA alumni. “I think we have some of the best talent in Tucson working on it,” Cargile said.
From doing research to filming, the process of making the documentary has been a long, yet satisfying experience for Cargile and his crew, Cargile said. “Before any camera roll, we had to do an intense amount of research,” Cargile said. “We had to look up everything that was publicly available about the painting, about the town it was found in and about the people whose house the painting was in.” After doing research and visiting Silver City, N.M., where the painting was recovered, Cargile and his crew moved on to conducting interviews and filming reenactments. “We started building these relationships, did our research and did our interviews, from there we went on to staging the reenactments,” Cargile said. “It’s been a very long and hard but rewarding process.” Even though Cargile has been working on this documentary for about a year now, he said his work is never done. He still has a couple things to polish before the finished product premieres. “Whenever you make a documentary you are always shooting and always editing, so we are still shooting and still editing,” Cargile said. “We are very far along, and a lot of interviews are in the can. We are just trying to continue to build the story.” While the process of making the documentary has been rewarding for Cargile and his crew, everything is not always roses, he said. One of the biggest challenges they faced was the lack of funding.
“Films do cost money,” Chandler said. “Regardless of the resources that the film and television school does give you, you still have to pay your crew, sometimes you have to pay a location fee, and you have to pay actors.” Another challenge they faced along the way was time, Chandler said. “You’re dealing with reality and real people, so you got to try and find these ways to build those relationships with the subjects,” Cargile said. The making of the documentary has let the crew bond, Olsen’s favorite part of the film, she said. “My favorite part of this documentary has been working with my team,” Olsen said. “I think Aaron is an extremely visionary director, and Reed is exactly what I need as a coproducer.” Cargile credits the unraveling of the mystery as his favorite part of making the film. “One of the coolest things is when you’re learning about the story and you’re with these real people who were actually involved and you get to talk to them and step into their lives a little bit,” Cargile said. Other than being excited to see the movie at “I Dream in Widescreen,” Chandler said he is looking forward to the next steps. “I’m looking forward to what comes after,” Chandler said. “I feel like a lot of documentaries have the opportunity to be expanded on, so I’m looking forward to expanding on this story and seeing if we can do anything else with it.”

SPORTS | MISSING THE MARK
Former Wildcat basketball player knows feeling of missing NCAA Tournament BY MARK LAWSON @MarkLawson_1
As Arizona men’s basketball prepares for its final game of the season before heading to Las Vegas for the Pac-12 Tournament, UA fans are in a position they have not been in for the past seven seasons: cheering on a team that may miss the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats currently sit in a tie for ninth place in the conference with a 17-14 record, meaning not only are they not getting a firstround bye for the Pac-12 Tournament, they will have to win it all to earn a trip to the big dance. Arizona has not missed the NCAA Tournament since 2011-12, the third season under head coach Sean Miller, and has only missed it twice in his tenure. Former Wildcat forward Max Wiepking experienced both the highs and lows during his four years at Arizona. Part of a Sweet 16 and an Elite 8 team, as well as the last two teams that missed the tournament under Miller, Wiepking walked on to the program during Miller’s first season as head coach. He was part of a group of newcomers that was among the most successful in program history. Derrick Williams, Solomon Hill, Lamont “Momo” Jones and Kevin Parrom each joined Wiepking as part of the 2009 recruiting class that ranked 12th in the country according to Rivals and Scout. While the group took their lumps during their first season on an Arizona team that finished 16-15 and missed the postseason, they blossomed in their sophomore year, finishing 30-8 and winning the Pac-10 regular season title before losing in the Elite 8 to eventual champion UConn. Wiepking was a member of the 201112 team that lost in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament to Bucknell, the last Arizona team to not play in the NCAA Tournament. The ‘Cats were ranked No. 16 to start the season, but a loss to Division II Seattle Pacific in an exhibition game was an omen of how the season would play out. A 4-2 start took the Wildcats out of the rankings completely, with a loss to rival Arizona State in the last game of the regular season likely ending their chances at an at-large bid. Arizona rebounded to make the Pac-12 title game but lost to Colorado 53-51 to seal its fate. “Everyone was definitely frustrated,“ Wiepking said. “Our goal every season is to make the NCAA Tournament, advance to the Final Four and win an NCAA Championship. It was a funny feeling going

into those practices, because we knew we failed to reach our goals that season.” A little over 8,000 fans showed up to McKale Center four days later to watch Arizona lose a game that Wiepking said had a strange feeling to it. “There definitely wasn’t the same level of excitement to play in that NIT game as
opposed to an NCAA Tournament game. I just remember it being such a strange feeling,” Weipking said. “We had our senior night that season and none of us were expecting to play another game in McKale. We prepared and tried to win against Bucknell, but everyone was definitely frustrated that we weren’t playing in the
NCAA Tournament.“ Wiepking finished his collegiate career as part of the 2012-13 team that started the year 14-0 and ranked as high as No. 3 in the country, led by a top-3 recruiting class that brought such players as Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski and Gabe York, as well as grad transfer Mark Lyons. That team lost in the Sweet 16 to Ohio State, finishing the year 27-8. In total, Wiepking was a part of 96 wins during his four seasons at Arizona. While Williams and Hill have gone on to play in the NBA, and Jones and Parrom have found success playing professionally in both the G League and overseas, Wiepking has gone a different route. After graduating, he worked with the Dallas Mavericks for two years as an analyst and in player development, then transitioned to a career with Tandem Sports & Entertainment out of Washington D.C. as a sports agent. His agency represents such athletes as Tim Duncan, Grant Hill and Jeremy Lin as well as ASU head coach Bobby Hurley. Williams is also a client of the agency, with Wiepking saying he keeps talking with many of his former teammates on a regular basis. “I keep in touch with a lot of the guys,” Wiepking said. “I was actually with Gabe [York] the other day, with his Lakeland Magic playing the Washington Wizards G League team.” Although he is three hours ahead of Tucson time, Wiepking does his best to keep up with the program and watch games. “I always keep up with the team,” he said. “Always follow them and try to get out to Tucson for some games every year. It’s tough to watch every game out here, though, since I can’t get the Pac-12 Network.” While his basketball days may be over, Wiepking looks back at his time as a Wildcat and being able to play under Miller proudly. “My time at Arizona was the best four years of my life, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I met most of my best friends there, had the chance to be a part of one of the best basketball programs in the country and got to experience things like playing in Madison Square Garden and the NCAA Tournament,” he said. “I think coach Miller is the best coach in the country and couldn’t thank him enough for giving me the opportunity to be a part of his program. To watch him build the program from where we were my freshman year to dominating the Pac-12 year in and year out and being a Final Four contender just about every year is incredible and something not many other coaches could do.”

SPORTS | BASKETBALL ANALYSIS
Five takeaways from Arizona’s season finale ANALYSIS
BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA
The final home game of the regular season did not go as anticipated for Arizona men’s basketball, as the Wildcats were outplayed in the second half and fell 72-64 to ASU in McKale Center. Here are five takeaways from the game, including a mysterious comment from head coach Sean Miller: Arizona’s seniors did not perform well The two seniors on Arizona’s roster did not turn in their best performance Saturday afternoon, as Ryan Luther and Justin Coleman combined to go 7-22 from the field and 3-12 from 3-point range. Luther got off to a hot start with two early 3s in the first nine minutes but then cooled off, missing his next seven attempts. Several times throughout the game, the Sun Devils lost track of Luther on screens and switches, giving the Pitt graduate-transfer an open look to shoot, but he couldn’t convert. Coleman specifically struggled to attack the paint while guarded by ASU’s Remy Martin. The point guard often drove toward the basket, but Martin and the help defense from the Sun Devils forced Coleman to force an errant shot or pass the ball back to the perimeter. The Samford graduate-transfer also dealt with foul trouble most of the night, having to defend an aggressive ASU backcourt and fouled out with 5:07 left in the game. Coleman finished with nine points, while Luther collected 12 in their final home game. You had me at goodbye? It’s a lot to speculate on, and many will do so, but Miller’s ending comments during the Senior Day ceremony had a lot of heads turning. As he finished talking about Luther and Coleman, standing near the block “A” at center court, Miller told the crowd that “it has been an amazing honor to coach in McKale Center for the last 10 years. Thank you for everything.” With Miller’s future still uncertain at Arizona, with the federal investigation into college basketball and him being subpoenaed for the trial April 22, the UA head coach’s comments took some by surprise as a few national media members insinuated this was an early farewell statement. When asked by the local media on Monday to clarify his statement, Miller said it “certainly wasn’t a goodbye speech.” There has yet to be any concrete evidence linking Miller to participating in the bribery scandal and both UA president Dr. Robert Robbins and athletic director Dave Heeke have continued to voice support for the men’s basketball coach.

TOP: Arizona men’s basketball Head Coach Sean Miller signals that Arizona has the ball while his team is upset about what they think was a wrong call during the Arizona-Arizona State game on Saturday, March 9. BOTTOM: Arizona’s Chase Jeter (4) throws down a dunk during the Arizona-Arizona State game in McKale Center.
2019 Nico Mannion and Josh Green were in attendance, so it seems unlikely that they would be brought to the game if it was a farewell for Miller. Martin stole the show. Again. The name Remy Martin is one Wildcat fans aren’t going to want to hear for a long time. The sophomore has been UA’s kryptonite in the two matchups this season, combining for 58 points, 27 of which came in McKale Center on Saturday. Martin proved he was up to the task of guarding the experienced Coleman and made several tough shots in the second half. The ASU point guard scored eight of the team’s final 12 points over the last 5:07 of the game. Maybe more impressive, Martin had the best stat line of the night with more points (27), rebounds (8) and assists (7) than anyone else on the court. Foul trouble almost caused chaos for ASU, eventually did for Arizona Early on, it appeared as though fouls would plague a depleted Sun Devil lineup, who were already missing the presence of freshman Taeshon Cherry. Freshman Luguentz Dort
had three fouls in the first half — one of which came on a technical foul for taunting — and Rob Edwards picked up two fouls as well. But neither fouled out (although bench player Romello White did in the second half) and it was Arizona that had two of its better players pick up five personal fouls each, Coleman and Brandon Williams. Williams came off the bench and somehow managed to have five fouls in 15 minutes of play. The one that forced his exit seven minutes into the second half came on a questionable charge call against Dort. The UA freshman’s stat line in his last home game of the season was a four-point effort, all coming via the free-throw line. Hello, USC Arizona’s game slot was already determined during the game vs. ASU, as Oregon State knocked off Washington State, but the loss to the Sun Devils solidifies the ‘Cats into the No. 9 seed for the Pac-12 Tournament. USC lost to Colorado Saturday, so the Trojans have locked in the No. 8 seed. The 8/9 game will be played March 13 at noon in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the winner advancing to play No. 1 seed Washington.

Rooftop Greenhouse flourishes at opening
GRIFFIN RILEY | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE ROOFTOP GREENHOUSE OFFICIALLY opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the fourth floor of the University of Arizona’s Student Union Memorial Center on Wednesday, Feb. 27. According to greenhouse project and production manager Stacy Tollefson, the rooftop greenhouse is a completely soilless operation employing hydroponics. Instead of soil, plants in the greenhouse are grown in rockwool, which is made from spun volcanic rock allowing Tollefson and her team to grow produce in the greenhouse using an estimated 5 percent of the water and 10 percent of the land needed for an on-the-ground garden. Currently the garden grows cherry tomatoes, slicing tomatoes and cucumbers. According to Tollefson, around 15 pounds of cherry tomatoes, 30 pounds of slicing tomatoes and 430 pounds of cucumbers are harvested weekly.
