UA must be transparent and diligent with data BY DAILY WILDCAT OPINIONS BOARD @DailyWildcat
W
e live in a world where data is everywhere. It is used by companies to do everything from showing ads on social media to helping sway elections across the globe. Now, that list also includes predicting student behavior at the University of Arizona, according to a recent press release featuring UA’s resident expert on data, professor Sudha Ram. Ram, who runs the Eller College of Management’s INSITE center for analytics, recently shared how her team was able to predict, with around 90 percent efficiency, which students would drop out and which would stay enrolled by using data collected and provided by UA Information Technology. “By getting their digital traces, you can explore their patterns of movement, behavior and interactions, and that tells you a great deal about them,” Ram said in the press release. While the goal of keeping students on the path to a degree is certainly a noble one, this vast collection of data raises concerns the university must address. First, students were seemingly given no notice of the fact that more than 800 data points, from financial aid status to D2L usage, would be monitored, tracked, collected and analyzed. While it’s extremely likely students signed their right to privacy away in exchange for a chance at an education, the fact that the UA is allowed to watch our every move, and would be doing so, should still have been made explicitly clear from the
outset. No one likes to find out they are being tracked like a lab rat via the media. The university has said the data is anonymized to ensure privacy, yet also stated that information is shared with advisers in order to help prevent students from leaving. This clearly means that, at some point, someone is able to connect the data to an individual. If this data can be used to determine when a student is likely to succeed or fail in classes, it can also be used to predict many other, less utilitarian goals as well. Those that are uncomfortable with their data being tracked should be given an ability to easily opt out. This will help ensure that no one with privacy concerns will feel exploited. Second, the UA must be clear what methods it is using to ensure our data is safe. Universities are one of the most frequent targets for hackers, with systems under constant assault from state-sponsored actors and sophisticated criminal networks. History has shown anyone can be hacked, including credit companies, movie studios, political parties, government agencies and even the director of the CIA. Furthermore, INSITE also wants to track UA Wi-Fi data to get an even bigger snapshot of what students are doing. Given the ubiquitous use of Wi-Fi on smart phones and other devices, soon the exact locations and behaviors of everyone on campus will be up for grabs, if Wi-Fi tracking becomes a reality. In the classic sci-fi novel “Minority Report,” predictive data is used to eliminate murder by arresting people before the crime is even committed. The very question of free will is invoked, and
some very poignant themes regarding authoritarianism versus individuality are raised as well. In the novel, the authorities are trying to control the future. While not using our data to predict when students will commit crimes (although that would hypothetically be possible, given the amount of information collected), the goals of the INSITE are very similar to the fictional Precrime Division. “It’s all about thinking about the future,” Ram said in the press release. “It’s about planning for the future and making sure you’re doing things in a way that enables the future to happen the way you want it — for everyone’s benefit.” With fears of how data can be exploited, and even weaponized, currently filling our screens, the university must do everything in its power to protect the information it has collected. It must also give students an opt-out option and be open and honest with the community about how that data has been used, and will be used in the future. Today, when the data is being used to help, there may be little to fear. But as the protagonist says at the end of “Minority Report” after being falsely accused of murder based on predictive models, “Better keep your eyes open. It might happen to you at any time.” Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat Opinions Board and are written by its members.

NEWS | DROPOUT DATA
CatCards leave virtual paw prints Students’ cards are tracked in an effort to determine if geographical patterns can help anticipate student dropout rates BY OLIVIA JONES @i_g_g_why
There are a variety of reasons a student may leave a university. They may transfer to a community college, have financial and family issues, be taking a gap year or be dropping out completely. For the past few years, the University of Arizona Eller College of Management’s INSITE Center for Business Intelligence and Analytics has taken on a project researching these reasons and how to identify students who would drop out — and the primary data points have come from students’ CatCard activity. For public universities, retention is important for using financial resources effectively and for maintaining a university’s reputation. According to US News, the average freshman retention rate at public universities between 2012 and 2015 was 78 percent. Sudha Ram, director of the INSITE Center, said that INSITE’s mission is to develop machine learning algorithms and work with large data sets to develop methods from connections between things, people, objects and information. When a student’s CatCard is swiped, a timestamp and location is recorded and put on a secure server for INSITE to access. However, these are anonymized by the UA Office of Student Retention and Academic Success, OSRAS, for privacy purposes. “Student retention is something that’s been studied in the literature,” Ram said. “There’s a lot of papers being published on this topic. It’s been tackled for the last 40 to 50 years — it’s not a new problem.” The INSITE researchers look at these records of CatCard swipes to find each student’s social interaction patterns and if they’ve established a regular routine on campus. According to Ram’s research, the reason students drop out is from not establishing good social interactions or a regular routine. She also found that
when students do decide to drop out, it’s within eight to twelve weeks of the first day of class. “We have numbers that say the strength of interactions in the time period, number of individuals they’ve interacted with, the rate at which it is growing or decreasing [are factors],” Ram said. “There’s a flag to indicate whether they’ve had a regular routine or not. We put the data together through some suggested demographics, like are they in-state or out-of-state students and basic categories like age groups.” In the dataset server, a flag is assigned to every student if they dropped out. “INSITE’s algorithm learns from the input variables,” Ram said. “The team gives an order to label it ‘yes’ or ‘no’ if the student is likely to drop out. When the machine algorithm spits out results, it can say, ‘I predicted that 200 people will drop out. The data said 300 people actually dropped out,’ so we ask how many was I able to predict correctly. That’s where we get the 80-90 percent success rate in predictions.” Machine and human bias is another reason why the predictions can’t be completely successful. “There’s always bias, it’s up to human interpretation. You have to decide whether the algorithm is telling you the right things or not,” said Ram. If social interaction and campus regularity is not considered, then the predictions are only about 60 percent correct, so social interaction measures from the trajectories of CatCard information is actually useful. INSITE’s project had to go through a verifying process with the Human Subject Protection Program of the Institutional Review Boards. “We don’t contact any students, we don’t experiment with them, we still have to get approval from them and the university. Then they had to figure out how to anonymize the data so we could glean interactions,” Ram said. After that, it’s up to the student retention office to determine atrisk students and consider possible intervention strategies.

Gov. Ducey forges own path on gun control COLUMNIST ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
I
n the wake of the tragic Parkland High School shooting and reaching a new height in gun deaths in the U.S., governors across the country have been forced to take a stand and act on the issue of gun control. With over 15,000 people dying just last year from incidents involving firearms, it is becoming impossible to ignore the havoc spreading across the country. However, solutions for the continual loss of life from guns differ radically from state to state. As a potential bump-stock ban is being discussed in some state chambers, USA Today reported that many Texas school districts decided to arm their teachers after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut that killed 26 people. But in Arizona, Gov. Doug Ducey is bucking the Republican party line in favor of a much more calculated and bipartisan approach. In a series of tweets in the aftermath of a meeting with policymakers and law enforcement professionals, Ducey laid the foundation for a plan that would “guard the very important Second Amendment rights of law abiding Americans, while closing loopholes, protecting public safety and cracking-down on illegal activity.”
The final proposal that followed this introduction was more in depth, offering an increase in funding for mental health outreach in schools. This includes the establishment of the Center for School Safety, a tip-line that will listen to and report any information on potential threats students share, as well as the creation of the Severe Threat Order of Protection, an order placed by law enforcement officials to bar an individual who has displayed violent or unstable behavior from purchasing a firearm. This expansion is important, as Arizona state law does not currently prohibit an individual who is showing signs of intent to harm either themselves or others from buying a gun. Further into the proposal, Ducey included a provision to increase police presence near schools as part of a volunteer program, through which officers could perform their administrative tasks and responsibilities on campus or in their vehicle. This means that, should an event occur, the police response would be immediate. Noticeably absent from his proposal is the almost nationwide GOP proposal to arm teachers Ducey has in fact come out on record against the idea, saying teachers should focus on educating their students. By including law enforcement presence on campus as part of a volunteer position, Ducey hopes that students will not have to face the risk associated with training educators on how to use a firearm when there is already a professional with experience capable of assisting. The outrage in response to the deaths at the Parkland High School shooting triggered nationwide walkouts, affecting
schools in every state, including many in Arizona. Student sit-ins and walkouts to raise awareness for gun control and the victims of the shooting seemed to grab the attention of Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who has done a complete political 180 regarding gun control and has instead come down strongly against arming teachers in favor of further restrictions when it comes to purchasing a gun. Democrats stand uniformly against the measures supported by the Trump administration, and while in a normal year Republicans would likely flock to the policies of the president, this is no normal year. Gun control has been a sore spot for the GOP for years, and in the past several months more moderate policymakers have been interested in finding a solution seperate from politics to protect the lives of their fellow citizens. Republicans are currently divided. There are those like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott who are in favor of expanding access to guns, and those such as Scott and Ducey, who think the only way to protect both American’s rights and safety is to reform the system and close the gaps that get innocent people killed. In our current political climate, with Republicans holding nearly 70 of 99 state chambers, the fate of gun control rests in the hands of the Republican party, shaping the national response to one of the most controversial debates on preserving both safety and rights. — Alec Scott is a sophomore who is studying Political Science and German Studies. He volunteered for the 2014 Ron Barber Congressional Campaign.

SPORTS | WOMEN’S TENNIS
HOME IS WHERE YOUR TENNIS COURTS ARE Vicky Maes’ success as a Wildcat student-athlete inspired her return as women’s tennis head coach STAN LIU | ARIZONA ATHLETICS
BY DAVID SKINNER @daveyskins_
A
rizona women’s tennis coach Vicky Maes has a spacious corner office in the recently renovated McKale Center, the exact same building where she started as an intern after her decorated playing days nearly two decades ago. Her consistency and competitiveness landed her the keys to the entire women’s tennis program at the age of just 27. But it was never something she had dreamed of or planned. “Well, it’s definitely not something that I thought I would do as a career. You know when I played here, I was very, very competitive; that has always sort of been in my nature, but I never looked at tennis from a coaching perspective,” Maes said. “It was always from a playing perspective. So I was a business major here and had every intention of leaving tennis behind once college was over because I knew I didn’t want to go pro because I had hurt myself pretty badly, and I knew that was it for me.” Maes was named to the Pac-10 All-Decade Team of the 90s and established herself as the most decorated Arizona women’s tennis player of all time during her time on the court. Even though Maes’ playing days were over due to injury, tennis was something she couldn’t completely let go. Maes continued to labor in corporate America, with cubicles and work-meeting memos abundant, but she didn’t see herself sticking around for long. The 9-to-5 grind that has taken years off of peoples lives wasn’t something Maes wanted to get invested in. She always made sure she made sacrifices to travel and give back to the program she lead as a player, even when her schedule or budget suggested she shouldn’t. The moment Maes left the friendly red brick and palm trees, she knew she wanted to come back at any cost. Her actions and commitment

set her apart from others. “I was really looking for a chance to come back to Arizona because I just love this school. It has just given me everything,” Maes said. “It was just a way to give back by volunteering, and ultimately a job opened up in McKale that I took as a foot in the door. I think it was one of those things where you are at the right place at the right time.” After being named head of the tennis program 17 years ago, Maes and her
“
every athlete that came through the program to have the same experience as me. The biggest eye-opening thing was that wasn’t going to happen,” Maes said. “Not everybody has that same desire, passion and competitiveness for the game. It doesn’t mean that the kids we recruit aren’t competitive, but I think my situation was unique in that I came from a situation where my parents didn’t have a lot of money, and everything I got for free
I was really looking for a chance to come back to Arizona because I just love this school. It has just given me everything. ” — VICKY MAES, WOMEN’S TENNIS HEAD COACH
consistency is what continues to drive and define the Wildcats. As their leader, instructor and role model, Maes is able to pull wisdom from encounters with past players. In fact, being a past player herself is something that is worth its weight in gold. Being able to draw from that experience when it comes to adaptations and adjustments throughout a tennis season is something the Wildcat women rely on as one of their program’s cornerstones. But even with the personal experience, the 1996 Pac-10 Player of the Year coaches players that aren’t always going to achieve the heights she did. This took some time to adjust to during her early years at the helm. “I came into this coaching job wanting
was like ‘Oh my gosh! I’m going to pay you back in effort’.” Maes adjusted her approach through the years, and one thing she doesn’t shy away from is adversity. Playing in the toughest tennis conference in the country with perennial powers UCLA, USC and Stanford competing for National Championships every year, Arizona has to be on the top of its game to even be in the conversation when it comes to post-season play. But the challenge doesn’t faze Maes. “They have to learn how to play through adversity and play through some difficult circumstances; that’s how they grow as people. And then we can produce a bunch of young women ready to do anything in life,” Maes said. “We’d love to win, and we don’t
like to be in the situation that we are in, but we have had to show some toughness, and we are young, and so they have had to step up, and that can only be good for their future.” As this young Wildcat core pushes on and looks to build on learned lessons from this season, Maes cannot stress enough the lessons that can be learned not just through wins or losses, but through the uncertainty and adversity, which can pop up at any time during a season. The Wildcats have had to deal with numerous distractions due to player absences, but Maes sees through it all and refuses to let it deter her moving forward. “For me, it’s all about how we carry ourselves on the court. Do you go out there and act like a winner? Or do you go out there and give in to the circumstances? And yeah, there are going to be moments when kids give in to the circumstances, but sometimes kids do rise to the occasion, and that’s where, as a coach, you just feel so blessed to be around people who take all of that adversity and ... to turn it into something positive,” Maes said. As Maes continues to establish a winning culture around the Robson Center, she understands that it all starts with a mindset that is shared and understood, carried out by not just a few players, but by all. And in a sport like tennis, where players are trained in a singular environment growing up, this can be the toughest lesson to learn of all. “I just want them to be resilient. I want them to fight. Of course I want to win, but the ultimate way is to leave it all on the court. If you give it your best, you might come out with some surprising wins. If you fold, you can’t be surprised when you lose,” Maes said While the Wildcats’ season heads into crucial Pac-12 play, Maes will be looking to see if the lessons of consistency she teaches through example have stuck, as Arizona looks to not just push for post-season play, but to grow in its approach to dealing with everything and anything it gets served.

POLICE BEAT BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @Nessamagnifique
Ups and Downs Mysterious movement triggered the alarm at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center on Mar. 11, calling several UAPD officers to the scene at approximately 1 a.m. Upon arrival, the officers set up a perimeter on three sides of the pool structure as one officer approached the gate. The officer positioned near the gate spotted two men jumping on a trampoline with an additional man watching nearby. When the men realized that officers were present, they fled into the pool structure. The officers found and handcuffed all three men. The men were read their Miranda rights and subsequently interviewed separate from each other. One of the men told an officer that he and his friends had simply wanted to hang out. Another one of the men told an officer that he knew he was trespassing and that it was him who had bought beer for the other two men, both of whom were under the age of 21.

Saving lives, one cat at a time BY VICTOR GARCIA @VicGarcia96
Pima Animal Care Center has been selected by the Jackson Galaxy Project — a signature program of GreaterGood. org, a nonprofit organization — to run a program that teaches people how to take care of animals as foster parents. They are also taught how to transition these four-legged companions into adoption. Jackson Galaxy is the founder of the project. He is also an animal advocate and host of Animal Planet’s “My Cat From Hell.” According to Galaxy’s statement about beginning this project, his mission as a rescue worker is to promote the wellbeing of shelter animals with knowledge and innovation that can save lives. “Pima Animal Care Center was selected for the Cat Pawsitive Pro program because of their proven commitment to innovation and the expansion of their cat care program in 2018,” said Cat Pawsitive program manager Christie Rogero. “They have the staff and volunteers to make the

program work, and they have passion and the drive to save lives.” According to Rogero, cats can shut down, become withdrawn and even be downright terrified in a shelter setting. When they arrive, the cats may have lost the only family they’ve ever known, or they may have come from a difficult life as a stray on the street. “We have cats that live here for a long periods of time, and obviously a kennel is not a home,” said PACC Cat Program Coordinator Stephanie Stryker. Rogero also pointed out that whatever the cats’ previous circumstance was, a shelter environment is new and often seems scary. And according to Stryker, even though PACC tries its best to make everything as appealing as possible for these cats, a kennel is still not a home. “It’s depressing seeing these cats get ripped out of their home either by the owner’s decision to not keep the cat any more or because their person died,” Stryker said. There is always the need for volunteers in shelters, not only for cats, but for any of the animals in their

According to Stryker, PACC has cat care and even dog walking opportunities for volunteers, students or anyone interested in helping. “There are very simple ways students and members of the community can get involved,” Stryker said. “Even writing cute short bios for the animals helps.”

Get to know your new student body prez Natalynn Masters, the new Associated Students of the University of Arizona Student Body President, is currently starting her transition into the role for the 2018-2019 year. The Daily Wildcat got a chance to sit down with her to discuss her goals and plans for the position. BY JORDAN WILLIAMS @JordanNichelleW
So my vision is that it’s clean and that it’s easy to navigate.
Natalynn Masters was elected to the position of Associated Students of the University of Arizona Student Body President on March 1. Through her focus on issues such as supporting marginalized students on campus, combating sexual harassment and educating faculty on microagressions, she hopes to make the school a better place.
DW: You mentioned a lot about the list of demands from the Marginalized Students of the University of Arizona. Realistically, how many of those demands do you think you can at least have a hand in helping during your time as student body president? NM: I think I can have a hand in a lot of them. Maybe not in the whole sense of, like, me being the person that signs off on getting it done, but being the person that brings those conversations up. So, as president, I meet with a lot of heavy hitters on campus, senior leadership, and making sure that at the meetings I’m in that this is something that’s constantly being brought up and that we’re considering.
Daily Wildcat: Tell me about yourself, and in what capacities are you already involved in ASUA? Natalynn Masters: I’m a junior here. Currently, I work as the diversity director for ASUA diversity. So I sit in Matt’s [Lubisich] current cabinet — the current student body president — and I work with my associate, Mia Sullivan. My big goal this year in this position is kind of rebuilding these communications [with cultural centers] so it’s not this one-time thing like, ‘Oh, we only have this conversation one time a year when something comes up,’ but just having these conversations throughout the year and having that friendship start to grow. DW: What will your priorities be as ASUA president? NM: I think now, and especially over the summer, I want to focus on student engagement. Even before we get to summer, ASUA applications for all the positions for next year open within the next month or so. And so, I really want — working with my team and working with my advisers — to be making sure that outreach is out there, because I really want this year to be more students knowing about ASUA and applying for ASUA. That’s my big thing: student engagement. And then, over the summer, just outreach for students. I’m going to be here over the summer, so just popping in at orientation and being seen and trying to promote ASUA as much as possible. DW: You campaigned on updating the ASUA website and making sure that it’s accessible. Ideally, what does the ASUA website look like to you? Where do you see it? NM: I see it as a one-stop shop for students. I go back to my freshman year when I was first trying to get involved. So, ASUA, I log on, I’m like, ‘Yes, this is student government; I’m going to find what I need,’ and I was just lost going through the website.
DW: What do you, as student body president, envision yourself doing to increase awareness of Title IX? NM: I work in the Office of Institutional Equity. So I work with the great individuals that do Title IX training for faculty and staff on campus, and working in that office and seeing the work that they do, [it’s about] bringing those tactics and how they apply it there and kind of having a holistic UA approach to it. I think it’s huge, and I really want to foster that collaboration. And I think it’s important that, over the summer, meeting with OIE , meeting with [the] dean of students and meeting with senior leadership. DW: How do you plan on maintaining a good relationship with the ASUA senate? NM: I think that starts with meetings with the newly elected senators, as well as the new AVP [Administrative Vice President] and EVP [Executive Vice President] and making sure that we as the elected people of ASUA have a clear vision of what we want for the next year, and that we’re all on the same page so that when we’re tackling different things it’s not just a one-person approach. DW: How do you envision yourself lobbying for students when it comes to topics like tuition and fees? NM: I trust the people that I’m around. So the advisors that I have in ASUA — some are new and some have been here for many years at UA, so I trust the insight they give me, and having the belief that I am not talking about something that’s not

important. So I think having the tools around me, so my advisers that can provide that insight on how to go about it, how ABOR [Arizona Board of Regents] works and like tactically how to approach it, as well as my involvement prior to being elected and knowing the students. So, having that confidence, that I’m not talking about something that I don’t know about. DW: How do you see yourself keeping a good communication streamline with the administration so that you’re advocating for not only what ASUA wants, but what the student body wants as a whole? NM: I think with the administration coming in, knowing how it works, meeting with administration and knowing that I’m student body president and I am here to communicate, that’s what I’m here for and that’s what I was elected to do. So, first and foremost, my priority is always going to be students. But then working with administration and understanding that there’s everyone in administration and knowing that there are people there on my side as well. So I think the biggest thing is fostering those relationships with people in administration.

NEWS | HONORING PAST PRESIDENT
JOHN DE DIOS | UANEWS
HENRY KOFFLER WAS THE first UA alumnus to serve as president, and his nine-year tenure saw increases in enrollment, the number of faculty and staff and research expenditures.
Henry Koffler, former UA President, dies at 95 BY ROCKY BAIER @RockyBaier
When the Henry Koffler building was dedicated in 2000, Koffler reacted in “true Koffler style.” “When [the building dedication] was announced … in true Henry Koffler style … he planned and carried off a major symposium on campus that focused on creativity and frontier areas and challenges in higher education in a university like ours,” former University of Arizona Provost George Davis said. “He used the building naming not as an opportunity to say, ‘Look how good I am,’ but rather used that point in time ... [to think] about the future of higher education, research in higher education, athletics, the whole deal.” Koffler died Saturday, March 10, at 95 years old. In 1982, he became the first UA alumnus to be president of the UA. Throughout his career as UA President, Koffler left a lasting legacy, put the university on the map as a research institution, grew the number of both students and faculty on campus and added 24 new buildings. “People are humbled by all the things that he’s done in life,” said Marie Wesselhoft, a family friend who met Koffler during his work with the UA Tech Park. “He had such a full life; everyone responded in the way that everyone was touched by him.” Koffler was born in Vienna on Sept. 17, 1922 and came to the U.S. at age 17 in 1939.
His mother soon followed, and they lived in Prescott, Arizona. In 1940, Koffler became a student at the UA, studying agricultural chemistry. He received his bachelor’s degree in 1943 and went to the University of Wisconsin to get his masters and doctorates in 1944 and 1947, respectively. For the next three decades, he worked at Purdue University, the University of Minnesota and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst before finally becoming UA president in 1982. “That is really relevant, because he was department head at Purdue for 15 years or so, and it was in that setting that he became one of these amazing, national leaders,” Davis said. “By the time he completed his stint as department head, the biological sciences at Purdue were viewed as just outstanding. I think it was that experience that particularly prepared him for leadership at the University of Arizona.” Koffler became a distinguished microbiologist and biochemist during his time at Purdue, which is why the Koffler building now houses biology and chemistry classes. And when he went into retirement, his actions didn’t stop. He created the Arizona Senior Academy, a nonprofit dedicated to “un-retirement” or lifelong learning for retirees through lectures, outings, musicians and a strong connection to the UA.

ASHLEY DAHLKE’S EXHIBITION “THE Space Between” explores the relationship between people and objects and is located in the Lionel Rombach Gallery until March 22.
From objects, to people, to exhibit UA student artist takes concept of a connection to objects and displays it through her art, aiming to spark questions in the minds of the audience BY GABBY MIX @DailyWildcat
Ashley Dahlke, a second-year graduate student in the University of Arizona’s School of Art, explores the connection between people and objects through her art installation, “The Space Between,” located in the Lionel Rombach Gallery. Hoarding is the persistent difficulty in discarding, or parting, with possessions regardless of their actual value. Whether a person is defined as a compulsive hoarder or not, everyone feels connected to objects in some way. This installation works to “engage with the subconscious relationships we have with the things around us and questions what they signify.” Dahlke drew her inspiration from her grandmother, a hoarder. She wanted to replicate the narrow pathways and overall atmosphere of her grandmother’s home. “[Through] little moments of these fabrics and compositions where us — as the viewer — can experience something similar to that,” Dahlke said. After moving from Wisconsin, where Dahlke earned her undergraduate degree, to Tucson, where she is pursuing her MFA in two-dimensional art, Dahlke wanted to create a visual representation of the memories she held of her grandmother in a modern way. “Just moving and knowing all the objects you own, there’s a certain weight to that,” Dahlke said. She wanted to flip that by creating an environment where objects appear to be floating. This was accomplished with the
use of objects suspended on a steel structure. These objects are clad in bright and ornate fabrics, which were donated to Dahlke by the UA Theatre Costume Department. Dahlke chose to use these scrap fabrics because she wanted to reuse materials. It was important to her that her materials already had a life, whether it was on stage as a costume or part of a friend’s quilt. With her work, she wanted people to question all the waste society produces. Through her use of recycled materials, Dahlke combats this waste. There are two ways artists work, “either questioning things that are going on in the world around us, or they want to make a utopia where people can go and look at the work and escape.” With her installation, Dahlke aims to do both. She not only aimed to bring attention to hoarding and wasteful practices in society, but also wanted to create a place for her viewers to escape with a space that felt like a painting, with beautiful fabrics and intriguing pathways. Kenzie Wells, a first-year graduate student in the UA School of Art, said she was impressed by Dahlke’s ability to find “all these fabrics that have had some past life and then accumulate them and put them in a different circumstance.” Primarily a painter, Dahlke threw herself out of her comfort zone for this project. “I feel like it was just a huge success for her as an artist, artistically and creatively, and in her career as well,” Wells said. Dahlke wanted it to be more intrusive, so she learned how to navigate space with objects. She created a space that allows the viewers to find their way through the art, rather than simply looking at a painting on a wall.
“I thought it was really interesting how it was completely immersive; she created an environment that could be fully experienced instead of something two-dimensional, which I thought was really fabulous,” Wells said. Aside from the work that went into the creative portion of her project, Dahlke also spent this past year researching hoarding and people’s connections to objects in general. “Our resources on campus are fantastic because we have access to so many things research-wise,” Dahlke said. She found that all people have this connection to objects, which is amplified through hoarding. “If we had to leave our house because of an emergency and we had time to grab one or two objects that aren’t your laptop or your phone, which generationally we’re drawn to, what would you take out?” Dahlke asked. Whether it is a favorite childhood toy or a hand-made blanket from their grandma, everybody feels linked to certain objects that hold personal value, she explained. Wells found that Dalhke accomplished this by “making a space in which we have to find our way through the objects” that are not exactly identifiable, but that have some sort of relation to things we know. “I think this creates a space that we can find a thread in, a way to link ourselves to the work, but there’s still that mystery as to what it is, which keeps that illusion alive,” she said. Dahlke’s installation, “The Space Between,” is open to the public until March 22. On that day, a closing reception will be held from 12–2 p.m. in the Lionel Rombach Gallery.

ARTS & LIFE | LOCAL ARTIST
UA alumnus masters the art of movement Nathanael Myers, local two-dimensional artist, musician and dancer, draws passion from his practice in several artistic mediums BY BRIANNON WILFONG @DailyWildcat
Local artist and University of Arizona alumnus Nathanael Myers brings creativity to life in Tucson through his exploration of several artistic mediums and his desire to kindle the notion of conceptual and visual poetry. Myers, who graduated from the UA in 2015 with a degree in fine arts, works in a variety of artistic mediums, including two-dimensional art, dance and music. His passion for artistic creation fuels his current work in each of these platforms. Myers was a proud recipient of the Buffalo Exchange Emerging Artist Award for 2017. This annual award highlights emerging artists in the performing arts and visual arts and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the arts through education, organization and advocacy. “To have acknowledgement that what I am doing is correct, especially not going to school for say dance or performance, that was really rewarding, and it redefined my definition of gratitude for the community that supported me,” Myers said. “I knew that what I was doing within Tucson meant something and it was not just an internal practice.” After starting at the UA in 2010, Myers had a plan to study music and architecture. He immediately joined the UA Pride of Arizona Marching Band, where he continued to develop his skills as a alto saxophone player, which he began playing when he was 13 years old. Despite his love for music, the arts and marching band, Myers actually switched his major to molecular and cellular biology, becoming more detached from fine arts. Myers soon realized, however, that science could not give him the type of push and creative outlet he needed. “[The arts] might be a struggle per say, but I decided I needed to pursue my passions rather than having the necessary financial stability that you don’t normally get in the arts,” Myers said. Myers eventually decided to pursue twodimensional art, which rekindled his passion for artistic practice. “[Pursuing it was about] fueling this love for creativity, specifically from visual art and music,” Myers said. During his undergraduate degree, Myers also worked for the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Tucson, where he pioneered an internship opportunity that catered to both his interests and interests of other fine arts students. This internship is now offered to
“
UA and Pima Community College students, something the museum had never thought of doing before. Myers was offered a job as membership and MOCAShop manager after graduating in 2015. “It was a really great opportunity, and it really expanded my mindset for what art could be,” Myers said. Since leaving the UA, Myers has continued to explore new artistic mediums. One of the newest art forms he has come to love is dance and movement. Myers didn’t begin to pursue dance professionally until he was 23 years old. Coming into dance at an older age was challenging, but he quickly mastered the art of movement and was offered a performing position with
“In that show, I found that I needed to be honest in what I was creating,” Myers said. For Myers, this art exhibition was a physical embodiment of his own experiences regarding the divide surrounding LGBTQ matters, specifically with relational and religious concerns. His two-dimensional and threedimensional art work together in this space to critically analyze the relationship between one’s dogma and an established belief system. The importance of fine arts and the message Myers brings to the art community is that art is able to connect and communicate what words may not be able to. Pursuing a fine arts degree is a courageous thing to take on, and as Myers demonstrates, it is all about passion and the continuation of that passion to persevere in the field of art, whatever medium it may be, to show what art is. “[Art] was my survival tool kit for a really rough period of time in my life, and I know that it speaks wonders without saying anything at all at the same time,” Myers said. Myers will continue to work with Artifact Dance Project through the end of their season and is working on a variety of other projects where he plans to collaborate with artists of different backgrounds. “Take the risk,” Myers said. “Do what gives you goosebumps.” Myers is currently planning to enroll in a master’s program at NYU in New York in August. With help from the Buffalo Exchange Award, Myers is also planning to take several summer dance intensives, allowing him to continue his movement practice and exploration of new artistic mediums.
I knew that what I was doing within Tucson meant something and it was not just an internal practice.”
— NATHANAEL MYERS, ARTIST Artifact Dance Project. In this dance company role, Myers has taken the stage in several onstage productions, including a collaboration with The Rogue Theatre in The House of Pomegranates, the production of Judith as King Nebuchadnezzar and Downtown. Myers is now working on the next show for their upcoming dance season. His choreography will be featured in the last show of the season, “New Moves,” from Thursday, May 3, through Sunday, May 6. “That’s going to be a nice challenge to have my visual art be on three-dimensional bodies,” Myers said. In his choreography, Myers will be integrating visual art and sound by working with local sound artist Karima Walker to help bring his vision to life on stage. Some of the natural sounds Myers will be incorporating are the sounds of his own breath and the scraping of his feet on the ground and sand, manipulating those sounds to create original noises to go along with his choreography. At the age of 25, Myers has already been recognized as an a talented emerging performer and visual artist. On of his most memorable accomplishments is his first solo visual art exhibition at the UA Lionel Rombach Gallery in 2017 with a combination of two- and threedimensional art, titled “1.48.116.”

REMEMBERING KOFFLER FROM PAGE 9
Even when he was in his prime as a university administrator, he was very sensitive to the fact that when people retire from the academic world, they need a way to stay busy,” said Sabra Anderson, treasurer of the Arizona Senior Academy, or ASA. “He was always pushing that just because we retire, our minds don’t go to sleep. We need to still be active. He was just a model himself of using our creativity and our talents even in retirement.” Gary Fenstermacher, former UA dean of the College of Education and president of the services division of ASA, agreed. “Henry Koffler believed that a life well lived does not end in retirement,” Fenstermacher said. “He proudly would describe the Arizona Senior Academy as one of his greatest accomplishments.” Koffler also became an artist in the late 90s, and in 2013, he began using an iPad to create works for five different art shows. “When he was 90 years old, he was in the hospital and he started doing digital art,” Anderson said. “He got very good at it, and he had two shows, which is extraordinary for someone trained as a biologist.” His art is all online at henrykofflerart.com and was recently displayed in the Jewish Community Center from January to early March. His art was the inspiration for the “Sacred Aging” series, which explored people’s individual purpose in the modern world. “His art was an inspiration to us, this idea that in his 90s he could pick up a new hobby
and talent and find meaning from it,” said Jennifer Selco, the director of Jewish Life and Learning at the JCC. He also grew the UA’s reputation as a top research facility with its election into the Association of American Universities in 1985. He expanded the general and honors education programs and implemented the first online student information system. “When Henry Koffler came in in 1982, he found that ... there was a lot of work to be done on computer systems,” Davis said. “It may be at that time students were still lining up in long lines to register for classes, which was unacceptable. There was not only a desire on Henry’s part, but a necessity on the part of the UA, to really move into the modern world in terms of student information systems, business communicating systems and the like.” Robbins called Koffler an example to follow in a press release. “I tell people everywhere that we must instill a love of lifelong learning in our students, and I can think of no better example than the way president Koffler pursued new ideas and forms of engagement through his entire life,” Robbins said in the press release. “I know he will be fondly remembered by the Wildcat family for years to come.” Koffler is survived by his wife, Phyllis, whom he met at a concert at the UA. They were together for 77 years, and were married for 71. Wesselhoft said Phyllis is doing well. “She is being overwhelmed with people’s

SPORTS | SOFTBALL STAT ANALYSIS
DEATH, TAXES AND ARIZONA SOFTBALL The ninth-ranked Wildcats are among the most consistent teams in the country BY MAX COHEN @MaxCohen_DW
The 21-2 Arizona Wildcats softball team is led by ace pitcher Taylor McQuillin, and the junior ranks No. 13 in the country with a .75 ERA. Despite her stellar ERA, she started off to the season with a slow start. In her second appearance of the season, which was her first start, she gave up five earned runs in just three innings. Outside of that start, however, she hasn’t given up more than a single run in an outing. In fact, outside of her first start, she has a .42 ERA, which would be good for fourth in the country, just .01 behind Oklahoma’s Paige Parker and OK State’s Logan Simunek. McQuillin actually beat Parker in a 2-0 pitcher’s duel at the Mary Nutter Classic earlier this season. However, Parker has thrown just 69 innings and Simunek has thrown only 34 and 1/3 innings. McQuillin, on the other hand, has thrown 99 innings, not counting the three in her first start. McQuillin isn’t the only Wildcat on the national leader boards. Sophomore first baseman Alyssa Palomino is batting .486. That astronomical batting average is good, however, for only thirteenth best in the country. She’s chasing Kent State’s
Holly Speers, who’s hitting .579. Palomino hasn’t hit well all season, either. She got off to a slow start, and was at the Mendoza line, a .200 batting percentage which is the lowest a defensiveminded player should hit, at one point. Palomino isn’t the only one putting the bat on the ball. Sophomore shortstop Jessie Harper leads the team in home runs with 10. Harper is only six back from the nation’s home run leader, Madison Cathcart, and only nine back from her career high. Both Palomino and catcher Dejah Mulipola are tied for second on the team with eight round trippers each. Harper hits third in head coach Mike Candrea’s lineup, which is a prime spot for RBIs. She leads the team with 31 runs driven in, which qualifies for tied for 24 nationally. She chases Tennessee’s Meghan Gregg, who holds the first place spot with 49 RBIs in 31 games. Arizona’s team offense is also top ten or fifteen in every meaningful offensive statistic category The ‘Cats stand out in runs per game, but have a wide range. They’ve been shut out, but only once against Minnesota. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the ‘Cats’ season high for runs scored is 14. That came against Bryant in the Hillenbrand Invitational.

Exploring the impact of a global religion UA Department of Religious Studies and Classics aims to inform and engage campus on culture and impact of Hinduism around the world BY LEIA LINN @DailyWildcat
Students at the University of Arizona have oppertunites to experiance different cultures here on campus. The department of Religious Studies and Classics offers insight into countries from around the world through events, classes and lectures. During a recent communty talk, Vasudha Narayanan, a University of Florida professor of religious studies, spoke about Hindu culture around the world at the Fred Fox School of Music on March 13. Narayanan is a former president of the American Academy of Religion and has written and edited seven books, in addition to many articles and encyclopedia entries, about world religions. She wore a turquoise traditional Indian silk outfit and gave a brief history of the Hindu culture, using pictures of ancient statues and temples from all around the world. Following her talk, Indian dancers filled the stage wearing traditional Indian silk costumes and jewelry. “It’s not simply the Hindu religion, but many of us should be literate about religions around the world,” Narayanan said. “The religions are not out there in different parts of the world, but they are right here in our backyard.” According to Narayanan, understanding our own traditions and cultures first then learning about other traditions and cultures allows humans to understand one another better. “To understand Hinduism is to understand our own history slightly better and to understand other cultures also,” Narayanan said. Narayanan recalls seeing a sign in the hallway reading, “one voice can make a song,” comparing the one voice to a small number of people in a culture. The small group contributes to culture in the larger mosaic of American traditions and cultures. “We’re human beings; we connect more than just professionally,” Narayanan said. “We connect through our entire beings and to know each others culture and world views.” Kalashri Asha Gopal, the owner of the Arathi School of Dance in Phoenix , brings Indian culture to the desert through teaching Indian American children the art of traditional Indian dance. She comes to Tucson every week to teach a class and has earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for graduating the most girls from her dance school. Traditional Indian dance is over 3,000 years old and tells a story about the gods and goddesses, according to Narayanan. Children begin lessons

VASUDHA NARAYANAN, A DISTINGUISHED professor of religion at the University of Florida, speaks about Hinduism traditions in UA’s Holsclaw Hall on March 13. The lecture, named “Angkor to Arizona,” presented not only on the traditions of hinduism but on the presence of the Hindu community in Arizona.
when they are 5 years old in order to master the disciplined art form. “The dance is very rigid,” Gopal said. “It’s the only style which has a textbook of its own where everything is written down.” Dancers must incorporate footwork, facial expressions and hand signals in order to tell the story. The costumes are hand woven and stitched by special tailors in India who have been in the costume making business for generations, according to Gopal. With many ancient traditions to learn about, there are many ways students at UA can study Indian culture. Caleb Simmons, a UA religious studies professor, said students can get involved in Hindu and Indian cultures by taking classes offered on campus or joining the Indian Students Association. “[Students can] always, more broadly, leave campus and go to the Hindu temples,” Simmons said. The Govinda and Swaminarayan temples are some near the UA that Simmons suggested visiting. Inside the temples are welcoming Hindus who are willing to teach visitors what they believe and what they do,
according to Simmons. Aside from having a “really cool” culture, Simmons said he believes students should learn about India and Hinduism because India is one of the most populated countries in the world and is thus emerging as a powerhouse on the world market. “If you look at a lot of global industries and global technologies, like Microsoft, their CEOs are Indian or coming from that background,” Simmons said. UA faculty is expected to expand South Asian studies by starting a center for Southeast Asia on campus, according to Simmons. “If you’re interested in South Asia, Hinduism or India, there are resources here,” Simmons said. Simmons said he wants to help students expand their intellectual horizons by not only studying the various assets of Hindu religious thought and tradition, but by taking them directly to the source of his research. In addition to offering courses on the religions of the world, the UA Department of Religious Studies and Classics regularly presents lectures, talks and film screenings on topics related to global religions.

Truth is, smoking tobacco is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States, responsible for 480,000 deaths per year. However, the jury is out on a definitive answer for vaping because it is a relatively new phenomenon. Vaping has only been around for about ten years so we do not have long-term studies on whether its use can lead to lung cancers and other conditions which typically take decades to emerge.

Konopka just keeps swimming ...
[... all the way to championship races]
BY IAN TISDALE @Iantisdl
Katrina Konopka may not lace up track spikes in the spring or put on shoulder pads in the fall, but one thing is certain: She’s fast. The junior swimmer is one of the best freestyle and backstroke swimmers in the country, if not the world, and in three years at Arizona, she has already left behind an impressive legacy. In 2016, Konopka swam the 50-meter freestyle in the Olympic Trials and placed fifth against former medalists and some of the best swimmers in the country. “I remember feeling so relaxed before that race,” Konopka said. “Like right before the start, I mean there were 20,000 people in the stands, but I just heard a few people in my team and it helped me calm down so much.” Konopka was only two places and 0.4 seconds away from going to the Olympics in 2016, in what she said was the “best race of her life.” Instead of going to Rio, however, Konopka represented Team USA last year at the World University Games in Taiwan in the summer of 2017 and won a bronze medal in the 50-meter freestyle. Taiwan wasn’t Konopka’s first experience swimming internationally; She’s been swimming for Team USA since 2014, when she was on the Junior National Team. In 2015, she helped set a junior world record in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, aside from finishing second in the 50-meter freestyle at the Junior National
Championships and winning a YMCA national championship with her YMCA swim team from Greenville, South Carolina. Konopka made her first connection with the University of Arizona in the YMCA program through former Wildcat swimmer and three-time NCAA champion Margo Geer. “I remember when I was younger I used to swim for the [YMCA], and Margo held all of the national records,” Konopka said. “So I was always chasing Margo, always trying to beat her times. And then I finally got to race with her, and swim with her, and it was super cool. We’re actually really good friends now.” Geer was, and still is, one of Konopka’s biggest influences in the swimming world. She also specialized in the 50-meter freestyle, like Konopka, and continues to train with the Arizona swim team. With Geer’s help, Konopka has changed drastically as a swimmer since she first came to UA. She used to swim in long-distance events before college, too, so one of the biggest things in reforming her stroke was learning breath control. “My stroke went through a major change,” Konopka said. “I used to breathe a lot, and now I for sure don’t breathe as much. We definitely cut out a lot of air.” Konopka still has a lot of time, and some unfinished business, left at Arizona before she leaves after next season. The junior swimmer qualified for the NCAA Championships in seven events last season, but has yet to win one. However, even with the NCAA and the Pac-12
Championships both taking place in under a month this season and expectations placed upon her, Konopka said she wasn’t stressed or worried about winning any races. In fact, her goals for this season were rather selfless in what might be one of the most competitive individual sports. “Yeah, I of course want to set some personal bests and improve my times from last season, just like anybody,” she said. “But, more importantly, I want to know that what I did was for my team.” Konopka is the definition of a team player. She has a habit where, before every swim, she looks at a teammate to help calm her down. “There’s no better feeling than having someone on the sideline cheer for you,” Konopka said. “So when I swim, I always want to be there for them.” Positivity is also huge for Konopka to keep her motivated in swimming and in everyday life. She enjoys going to class and excels in chemistry, her major, one of the most difficult departments here on campus. “I actually like it,” Konopka said, smiling about her inorganic chemistry lab later that afternoon. “Trust me, it’s way better than physics.” Emphasizing the good in things is how Konopka swims and how she lives. “Always find something positive in life,” Konopka said. “In every race, at every practice, you had to do at least one thing right, even if it was just showing up on time, and if you focus on the positive, it makes college swimming a lot more fun.”

ARTS & LIFE |THEATER
Curtain call! Cultures showcased through the arts Centennial Hall displays romantism and modernism in showcase of ‘The King and I’
The Arizona Repertory Theatre discusses social issues through a Shakespearean dramedy BY SYDNEY JONES @DailyWildcat
REVIEW BY BAILEY ALLEN @DailyWildcat
The Arizona Repertory Theatre (ART) kicked off its spring season with a rendition of “The Merchant of Venice,” a Shakespeare play that comments on hard-hitting issues such as discrimination and anti-Semitism. The play follows interactions between a Jewish man, a Protestant merchant and their serious money loan agreement. When things go south paying back the loan, the merchant must be prepared to give the money to the Jewish man. Although the dramedy does not solely focus on religion, the show frequently calls into question the amount of mercy each man is able to demonstrate in order for a life to be spared or changed forever. Director Brent Gibbs says he feels this show is a wonderful opportunity for students to work on a play that deals with serious issues, but incorporates beautiful language and inspires revelatory thought regarding the dignity of human beings. “It’s a good show to put on in our current [political] climate,” Gibbs said. “It has a lot of resonance in many issues we still have around today … People who like to see material handled in a professional way will love this show.” Connor Griffin, who plays the character Shylock, said he felt honored to play this role. “Getting to work on this text in this environment is such a blessing,” Griffin said. Griffin had to ease into a role that was so vengeful. Playing a character that is so grounded in religiosity can be difficult to present in a non-discriminatory way. Because Shylock is Jewish, many other characters in the play looked down on him, causing Shylock to channel resentment toward others. Kelly Hajek, who plays the character Portia, said she appreciated the opportunity to work with the complexities of the characters. “Finding Portia’s own sense of mercy towards Shylock was the challenging part to me,” Hajek said. The whole cast expressed their love for working on this show in its entirety, from the first casting in November to finally performing on stage this month. “We’re so lucky to have such a hard-working and dedicated group of people around us,” Hajek said. “Without that work ethic I don’t think it would be possible to put on this show.” The ART hosts one Shakespeare play per year. Producing such classic shows for students and the public draws people in to see how the material will be handled. Getting to work on complicated texts in a learning environment helps students expand their acting range for a stronger portfolio and greater opportunities in future shows. Although it may be difficult at times to work through the language differences and slightly discriminatory innuendos, actors are rewarded with experience. “We almost cut out one of Portia’s lines because it’s racist,” Hajek said. Not excluding certain facets of the show helps keep audiences aware of real issues instead of just ignoring them; exploring issues present during Shakespeare’s time proves to not be so different than today. “Shakespeare still speaks to us after all these years,” Gibbs said. “[He] can still instill a sense of wonder.”
UA Presents and Broadway in Tucson present “The King and I,” an intricate performance of high quality and creative innovation that transports audiences through time. The show, which was performed in Centennial Hall last week, is a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical and based on a novel by Margaret Landon. It recounts the unconventional relationship between the King Mongkut of Siam, located in modern day Thailand, and Anna Leonowens, a British school teacher. Derived from Leonowens’ memoirs in the 1860s, audience members were transported into a world of the past, with a view on modernism like no other. This is a story of romanticism, modernism and the opportunities people have to create change in life. Anna, who is brought to Siam to teach the king’s children, learns more about life than she ever expected. The musical captivates people of all ages. Its catchy songs and creative story line stole the audience’s heart and brought tears and laughter all in the same moment. The striking part of this production is the music itself. From the beginning, the musicianship brings the audience into Anna’s world and enhances an emotional story line. “As a musician myself, the music made me connect deeply to the story line and the struggles of the characters. The music captured the emotions of each character in a way words never could, ‘etc. etc. etc.,’ as actor Jose Llana would say,” said Grace Heffernon, a freshman and biomedical engineering student at the UA. Conductor Gerald Steichen said the people who make this possible are “a combination of local musicians and those who travel with the cast permanently,” which is quite a feat, as the local musicians only arrive the day before and practice right before the first show. A production of this size and stature is a fantastic opportunity for local artists to play and be a part of the set in a delightful and whimsical way. “We only have four permanent musicians that travel with the cast and play — the rest we invite from the community of talented artists where we go,” Steichen said. The symphony is the heart of this performance. Using voices that captivate, however, the cast also does a phenomenal job bringing the story to life. With a voice that can be compared to Julie Andrews and talent that goes without saying, actress Laura Michelle Kelly becomes a character with whom the audience can truly fall in love. She and actor Jose Llana, alongside the rest of the multitalented cast, pull the audience in, leaving them breathless at the depth of their musical talents. “This will be Laura Michelle Kelly’s last performance with the cast. After this, she will be leaving for another tour,” Steichen said. Actress Elena Shaddow will take over the role of Anna starting March 20. With a total of 480 shows, the production’s rotating cast will continue on their tour beyond Tucson, to delight audiences around the country. This Tony Award winning musical is definitely one to remember.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Don’t throw free speech in the garbage pile GUEST COLUMNIST
ALEXANDER SCHAFER
I
love littering. Rolling down the window and tossing out empty cans, receipts or maybe even some cigarette butts — what a fast and thrilling way to tidy up my car! Dumping my debris onto the street satisfies my desires immediately, easily, costlessly ... well, costlessly at least for me. But here’s something I don’t love: other people littering. A broken bottle in the bike lane can really deflate my morning commute. Ideally, no one would litter ... well, except for me. Another thing I love is confirmation of my own opinions — especially political ones. I like spaces where I’m free to express my views and listen to others express those same views. But what I really don’t like is when I, or speakers that I agree with, face obstruction when attempting to express beliefs and opinions. Ideally, no one would be allowed to block the free expression of ideas ... well, except for people whose opinions are the same as mine. Almost everyone enjoys the freedom to express themselves. We also enjoy the confirmation of our opinions. Yet, certain viewpoints or expressions offend us, and even if not offensive, opposing viewpoints cause feelings of discomfort.
There is, then, an ever-present urge to apply a double-standard, to stifle opposition while retaining our own freedom to express our point of view. This particular urge has become rampant on college campuses — including at the University of Arizona, where protesters have attempted to block speakers on both the left and right. In fact, they have succeeded in doing so on multiple occasions. Despite the temptation, there are serious problems with acting on this urge, problems with — as the analogy to littering will illuminate — practical and moral consequences. Who wants to be the only person following the alleged rules when no one else seems to think they’re important? Indeed, field studies and laboratory experiments have revealed that rules achieve compliance only when individuals believe others are following them. Seeing others openly violate a rule leads one to question if it really is a rule after all. Consider the right to free expression as a rule: When we silence opposing viewpoints, others come to believe it is acceptable to silence ours. The rule of tolerance is undermined by the very act of ignoring it. As one group ceases to tolerate opposing viewpoints, so do others. Free expression on college campuses withers under pressure from all sides. The list of disinvited campus speakers includes, for example, George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice, but also Hillary Clinton and Michael Moore. Suppose, however, that I could litter with impunity. Maybe I’m the town sheriff and nobody else can hold me accountable for my actions. In this situation, the practical issue of others mimicking
my intolerance is assumed away, but a moral problem remains. When deliberating about rules, a basic moral requirement is that the rule be fair; in other words, you could endorse the rule regardless of your particular situation. A rule that allows me and only me to litter is unfair. To make and enforce unfair rules — even if I, the sheriff, can get away with it — is an abuse of power. This principle clearly extends to free expression. If one finds themselves in a position to cleanse their environment of opposing or offensive viewpoints, and only those viewpoints, it’s wrong to do so — even if one possesses (for the time being) the requisite power. Yet, those who advocate for speech restrictions and who protest with the goal of silencing opposition often maintain the moral rightness of their cause. According to these restrictionists, they know what’s right and true, and there is nothing wrong with silencing wrong and evil viewpoints. If you strive to silence them, they will likely strive to silence you. And even if you can get away with it, we must ask: Isn’t there something problematic about asserting your own right to express your vision of the true and the good, while denying others that same right? If you answered “no,” don’t be surprised to find piles of wrappers and banana peels in your favorite spaces. And don’t be surprised to realize that you deserve it. — Alexander Schaefer is a graduate student at the University of Arizona.

Japanese archery club aims for student engagement BY RYANE MURRAY @DailyWildcat
Gaining the skills of concentration and persistence while also experiencing ancient Japanese cultural traditions is the main focus for the University of Arizona’s Kyudo club, the first of its kind on campus. The UA Kyudo club consists of both undergraduate and graduate students who share an interest and dedication to the technical Japanese art of archery. Said to date back as far as 500 BCE, Kyudo and the use of the bow and arrow evolved from a weapon used on the battlefield to a competitive and even meditative sport. Kyudo is one of the oldest martial arts in Japan and translates as “the way of the bow,” but is commonly called ‘Japanese archery,’ according to the Arizona Kyudo website. The equipment required for Kyudo is a yumi (bow), ya (arrows), a yugake (glove) and a gi (uniform including a white top with black hakama and belt). There are eight steps that Kyudo practitioners must master when shooting their arrows. These steps are how students begin to truly grasp the importance and necessity of concentration in the sport.
Bill Savary, sponsor and head instructor for both the UA Kyudo club and Arizona Kyudo Kai, writes that the skills members discipline themselves to use will also “discipline the body and mind to better cope with issues.” The university Kyudo club was founded by UA alumnus James Moxness, a previous member of Arizona Kyudo Kai, in 2000. “The University or Arizona Kyudo Club is, to the best of my knowledge, the first university kyudo club in the U.S.,” Savary said. There are national seminars held at various universities and colleges around the country, and several kyudo groups in the U.S. have used university facilities for practice locations, but “this is the first actual school kyudo club in the country,” according to Savary. Students participating in Kyudo may do so recreationally, competitively or purely as a cultural pursuit. The skills they establish are transferable to their everyday
“
lives and may be applicable to dealing with stress or anxiety. “When a student enters a dojo, they are supposed to leave all external worries and distractions outside the door,” Savary said. “They are supposed to set aside all the anxieties of the outside world and focus only on kyudo.” The need to “concentrate on your actions” is unending, and paradoxically,
The UA Kyudo club partners with Arizona Kyudo Kai to study and practice Kyudo every Sunday from 10 a.m. until noon at Rhythm Industry, 1013 S. Tyndall Ave., or at the Ina A. Gittings building, 1713 E. University Blvd. Weekly emails are sent out with the meeting location. The UA Kyudo club will take part in a ceremonial Japanese archery event on Saturday, March 24, at the Yume Japanese Gardens of Tucson. This event will highlight the art of Japanese archery and will discuss the basic elements of kyudo, show the standing and kneeling forms of the hassetsu, and will also be opened to audience participation afterwards. The program will be done two different times: 10 a.m. to noon and noon to 2 p.m. Admission is $15 for the event and includes entrance to the gardens. For more information, visit the events page on the Yume Gardens website.
You have to learn to drop the ego if you are going to perfect your skills.”
— BILL SAVARY, HEAD INSTRUCTOR OF UA KYUDO CLUB the need to not worry about it is also necessary at every step, according to Savary. “You have to learn to drop the ego if you are going to perfect your skills. This is in itself a balance of concentration and meditation,” Savary said.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Berry Divine offers heavenly delectables COLUMNIST
SAMMY MINSK @DailyWildcat
S
ocial media has got me hooked when it comes to food porn. I’ll spend hours scrolling through Pinterest looking at beautifully presented foods like chocolate drizzled crepes, hamburgers with cheese oozing out, and pink and white sprinkled donuts so vibrant it would be a shame not to take a picture. As savory as the pictures may look, I’m a reasonable person when it comes to junk food, meaning I can’t even look at carbs. And that’s OK because there’s an amazingly healthy new restaurant in downtown Tucson with food that looks both delectable and Instagram-able. The açaí bowls at Berry Divine, located at 245 E. Congress St. Suite 159, are a fast and healthy meal bursting with antioxidants, fiber and healthy fats. The açaí berry boosts energy, maintains youth, lowers cholesterol, assists in weight loss, helps in digestion and promotes skin health, according to Berry Divine’s website. All the bowls have a base of frozen organic açaí berry pulp, either blended the traditional way or soft serve. The traditional way is hand blended with an assortment of frozen fruits, whereas the soft serve is mixed with apple, beet and lemon juice, along with organic cane sugar. You can’t go wrong with either option, but depending on your time and taste, the soft serve is slightly sweeter and completed about five to six minutes faster than the traditional way. Berry Divine has nine different açaí bowls, which are generously topped with different fruits and hemp seed granola. Gluten-free granola is available upon request. The Sedona Bowl is “your basic b*wl,” topped with strawberries, banana, hemp seed granola and honey. There are a wide variety of toppings you can add to your bowl, such as bee pollen, goji berries, lemon zest and shaved chocolate, as well as blended add-ins like protein powder and kale. Berry Divine boasts dairy-free ingredients and vegan and gluten-free substitutes. The deep magenta açaí berry blend is topped with colorful fruit bits, making each bowl a mouth-watering masterpiece. If you are into frozen yogurt or sorbet, this is an
excellent alternative because of its similar consistency and sweet taste. The soft serve bowls range from $8 to $10 and the traditional from $9 to $11.50. If you’re more of a drinker, Berry Divine offers açaí smoothies with gluten-free liquid such as coconut water or almond milk. Rather than using ice fillers like Jamba Juice, Berry Divine’s smoothies are packed with frozen açaí berries and other delicious fruit. All items on the menu were created by the owner, Todd Shreve, who has an extensive background in the culinary field after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America. The location is small and intimate with a few tables and a bar. This isn’t a place to do homework and spend extensive time at, but rather a quick bite with a friend or a post-workout meal. There’s no parking, so be prepared to look around for metered parking on nearby streets. I tried their classic Sedona Bowl made with soft serve açaí berries, the Volcano Bowl, made traditionally, and a Rio smoothie. I enjoyed the traditionally blended berries better because of the creamy texture with a subtle, natural sweetness. The Volcano Bowl had coconut oil, strawberries, kiwi and hemp seed granola on top. I froze the leftover bowl and ate it the next morning and found it surprisingly tastier after the granola marinated in with the other ingredients. But don’t disregard the smoothies, because they too are fantastic. The Rio was intriguing because of the veggie/fruit combo of spinach, kale, mint, ginger and mango. The liquid was a mix of coconut water, lime juice and an Amazonian soda called Guarana. With just the right amount of sweetness, the flavors masked the sourness from the kale and the bitterness of the spinach. I’m impressed to say that whatever item chosen on the menu will be inordinately delicious. The fruit combinations look immaculate, the flavors were delicious and it definitely beats frozen yogurt any day. There are two other locations in Tempe and Sedona, so if you find yourself craving something cold and healthy when you aren’t in Tucson, you won’t be out of luck. Rating: 4.5/5

ARTS & LIFE | STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Medieval and modern worlds collide The College of St. Felix expresses renaissance culture on campus. With a focus on historical accuracy, this club aims to bring the middle ages to the UA BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves
In the Highland Commons Bowl stands a group of students, known as the “current Middles Ages” or The College of St. Felix, with their knight armor and swords ready for battle. The College of St. Felix is part of the The Society for Creative Anachronism SCA, an international organization dedicated to researching and recreating the arts, skills and traditions of pre17th-Century Europe. If it was done in the Middle Ages, you’ll find someone in the SCA interested in recreating it. With a range of educational backgrounds, this group of individuals meets every Thursday night to pursue a shared passion and explore all the Middle Ages has to offer, according to Aaryn Pemberton. Pemberton, a junior studying physics, is the seneschal, or the president, of the organization and makes sure the club is well-represented on campus through club fairs and activities the SCA puts on during the year. “We are a living history,” Pemberton said. “The SCA is 100-percent audience participation. There are no actors; it’s all volunteer, and if you don’t participate, you won’t get anything out of it.” The SCA highlights all things Middle Ages, from fighting to calligraphy to beer brewing and wine making and even blacksmithing. The organization allows club members to dive into the past and learn all this history outside a classroom. The SCA provides awards for the different activities that members complete during their time with the organization, according to Pemberton. The club really focuses on the learning experiences members gain throughout their time with the SCA, aiming to be historically accurate and gaining skills that other organizations on campus cannot offer. “We try to do everything as close to the Middle Ages as it was done,” Pemberton said. “It’s actually really helpful for anthropology majors, history majors, medieval literature majors and anything like that.” Many of the club members are there for that sense of belonging and to be part of the fun activities the SCA holds. Kota Flemming, a graduating senior studying anthropology and bioarcheology, is the art and science minister and the chatelaine or “new person greeter” of the club. She handles most of the outreach and club activities. Flemming was introduced the same time Pemberton was, at a club fair, and both were unsure about joining the organization before discovering their passion for it. “We really found out that this was something we were super interested in,” Flemming said. “We both love history and are both nerds, and this is really bringing that fantasy world of the medieval era to reality.” The SCA on campus is part of a bigger “kingdom” known as the Kingdom of Atenveldt, which covers most of Arizona, including the Tucson chapter, the Barony of Tir Ysgithr. The Barony, currently led by Earl and Karen Billick, the baron and baroness, was founded in 1973 from the UA chapter and has “flourished throughout the years with talented armored fighters, skilled artisans and tireless workers,” according to Earl Billick. Like the chapter of St. Felix, the Barony of Tir Ysgithr

Being part of the SCA is something the Barony encourages because it “provides a social atmosphere” for those interested in history or reinactment, according to Earl Billick. “Before we [Pemberton and I] stepped in, they [St. Felix] were kind of segregated from the Barony, and we wanted to interact with them more,” Flemming said. “We go to their practices, we talk to them and we hang out with them.” Flemming make it clear their chapter is its own separate unit that belongs to the bigger unit, giving the UA chapter its own sense of power. The club continues to open itself up to the community through the various events it holds. The next event, “Sable Knight,” will be held at Himmel Park on April 1. The overall theme of the event is that Sable represents all that is holding a student back from enjoying what they want, whether that be deadlines, midterms, homework or stress. “The spirit of [the event] is to fight back against all those things that keep you from doing what you really want to do,” Pemberton said. There will be other activities at the event, including April Fools’ Day activities, Easter activities, arts and science showcases and more. “We proudly support the university group,” Earl Billick said. For many of its members, the SCA is a place for community, learning and family.

OPINION
Music festival reveals social media hypocrisy COLUMNIST TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat
D
id any of you see any of the fun pictures from the Bear Down Music Festival? Chances are, they were fake. Too often, millennials use social media to create images of themselves that don’t match up with reality. The first half of the Bear Down Music Festival was a perfect people watching grounds for this phenomenon. The first of the two main performers was an Electronic Dance Music artist who looked surprisingly similar to professor Michael Gilbert in the math department. The festival didn’t do a great job telling us who he was, but I think he said his name was Chuck. For purposes of this piece, I will call him EDM Chuck. Anyway, EDM Chuck was all right, though his music was a bit too slow to really pump up the crowd. Twice, I almost felt it, but the feeling died almost as soon as it started. It never moved me into a dance that got both of my feet off of the ground (and my threshold is pretty low, too; I love dancing.). The music was still enjoyable, though. I don’t want to criticize EDM Chuck as much as I want to criticize the crowd. They weren’t having it. And I’m not even making a bold inference. They were literally moaning about how boring the music was, how weird EDM Chuck was and how little fun they were having. The group next to me was full of particularly bad offenders. In between their complaints, though, they posed for pictures for Snapchat. From where we were, those pictures must have looked amazing. The goodsized crowd stood almost entirely ahead of us, the colorful and brightly lit stage was clear and, of course, the people in the picture displayed their big smiles. What did their friends see when looking at Snapchat? Those beautiful pictures. They did not see, however, how little fun that group was actually having. Isn’t that break between the reality and the image at least a little bothersome? Because the music wasn’t particularly enthralling, I spent more time looking around than usual. A couple of times, I saw some people adopt the experience at the music festival for social media
without actually partaking in it. One person walked onto the UA Mall, took a selfie and left. Now, I can only imagine what her caption said, but from my experience as a millennial, my guess is not “I didn’t really go to this, but I’m taking a selfie anyway!” So often, when we look at social media, we compare ourselves to the images we see. We see that picture of the person who wandered off the path for a minute to take a picture and think, “Wow, I really missed out!” Or, we see the group of friends and think, “I wish I could have fun with my friends like that.” But so much of what we see is not reality. Here’s a quick reality check: According to the General Social Survey, the most common response when people are asked about the number of “confidants” (really close friends) they have is zero. About 70 percent of pictures women ages 18–35 post on social media are edited. Psychologists don’t believe we can have any kind of relationship with more than 100–200 people. So, before comparing yourself to someone who has 3,000 Facebook friends, remember: That number does not reflect reality. Neither do the always-pretty pictures or the always-happy faces. The crowd looked pretty lifeless at the end of the performance, until, in his second-to-last song, EDM Chuck pulled out his phone to take a selfie-video. I don’t know if it was a reflex or what, but the crowd suddenly went wild. People screamed, jumped and waved their glowsticks. But what if we all just stood there, dead-eyed, and looked at him? That would be reality. And probably, it wouldn’t be worth posting on any social media account. The question is then, why are millennials so afraid of reality? Why can’t we show ourselves having a so-so time? Do we not have the confidence? Or is it just better for us if everyone believes we have all the fun all the time? One of the biggest problems we have on social media today is misrepresenting ourselves and comparing ourselves to others’ misrepresentation. We can’t stop others from posting their greaterthan-life pictures, but we can remember that we have no reason to think that we are the only people in the whole world who aren’t always having fun with other people. — Toni Marcheva is 19 years old, yet doesn’t really understand social media.
