hen I joined the Wildcat staff as a news reporter in the spring of 2018, I had no idea that less than three months later, I’d be taking over as editor-inchief. What was supposed to be an opportunity to build my portfolio ended up being the most rewarding experience of my college career. This year, I’ve worked with some of the most passionate, creative, driven young journalists, who inspired me every day to be a leader they could count on. Being among other students who felt as strongly as I did about the power of journalism was infectious. We built a family around this shared passion and created bonds I’m sure will stand the test of time. I realized very soon into my tenure as EIC that Arizona Student Media was more than a club or resume builder, it is an institution of knowledge and an invaluable asset to the campus. As a 120-year-old institution, the Daily Wildcat has remained a force to be reckoned with at the University of Arizona. We’ve been a dependable source of information, a watchdog and a consistent entity on an ever-changing campus. This is an institution that has produced hundreds of incredibly talented journalists and continues to teach young journalists the importance of truth, accuracy and transparency. So, when we found out Arizona Student Media was being displaced to make room for the the new UA Global Center this semester, our large community of students, staff and alumni came together to make sure the university remembered how valuable we are to this campus. This is a testament to the impact Arizona Student Media has had on every student who had the opportunity to work here. As EIC, I’ve also had the opportunity to learn about our campus community, find new ways to reach our audience and ensure everyone in our community feels represented in our publication. So, to our readers, know we are here for you. I know I speak for everyone at the Daily Wildcat when I say thank you for letting us share your incredible stories and for trusting us as your source of information. As I prepare to graduate and pass the baton to incoming EIC Nicholas Trujillo, I can’t help but feel incredibly emotional about having to leave the place that helped me become the journalist, and the person, I’ve always aspired to be. There are no words to describe how incredibly dedicated the Daily Wildcat staff is and how much I will miss their infectious energy. The Daily Wildcat legacy is yours, my friends. Carry on.

NEWS | UPCOMING CENSUS

Things for students to know for the 2020 census BY LEIA LINN @leialinn24

With nearly 45,000 students on campus, the University of Arizona is practically a city of its own inside Tucson. Adding so many people to the Tucson population has led some to call for students to count themselves as Tucson residents in the United States census in 2020. Congress must conduct a census every ten years to count the country’s population. Every citizen must answer the survey. College students can be hard to count during a census because they tend to use the address they permanently live in rather than where they currently live for school, according to Julie Katsel, senior director of government and community relations at UA. “College students have been traditionally hard for the census to count because many students are unfamiliar with the importance of completing the census survey and don’t understand that they need to be counted where they live most of the time,” Katsel said. If students are not from Tucson, they are still supposed to fill out the census for Tucson if they spend a majority of their time here (at least six months and one day here during the year), 03_April-May_PCC.pdf 1 4/18/19 4:03 PM according to Katsel.

Why is this so important? The census collects data to inform decision-making that directly affects citizens such as apportioning congressional seats, redistricting and the annual distribution of hundreds of billions in federal funds. According to Katsel, this directly benefits students and not just Tucson citizens. She said that the data from the census is used to determine resource allocation for education, healthcare, housing and transportation, as well as determining Title I Grants to local education agencies. Matthew Rein, Associated Students of the University of Arizona executive vice president, said a student partnership with ASUA being led by UA’s Government and Community Relations will help students learn how they can fill out the census and why they should say they live in Tucson. “There is going to be a big push in the next year or so to fill out the census, and we will be doing outreach and going into classrooms and talking about it,” Rein said. “College ambassadors are also reaching out to their colleges and clubs.” More citizens at the UA means more funding from government agencies, so it’s like a communal deficit if everyone doesn’t fill it out, according to Rein.

“According to the federal government, no one goes to UA, and of course that is not true, but the cool thing is that our out-of-state students can still be counted as part of our community,” Rein said. “You as a person want to be counted. It’s like the presidential election, you might want to help make decisions.” According to ASUA At-Large Senator Rocque Perez, the Pima Association of Governments, which oversees governments across Southern Arizona, took interest in the 2020 census campaign. “The potential funding that can come from them goes to higher education, so they thought, ‘Why not reach out to the one university in Southern Arizona?’” Perez said. “So from then on after the meeting, we addressed what the census is gonna look like.” Perez said students who attend UA don’t just have a commitment to the university but to where the university is, which is Tucson. “This is our chance to instill in students’ minds ‘Hey, you guys are talking about my tuition,’ or ‘Hey, why is housing so expensive?’ Well, this is one source of funding that can address the issue,” Perez said. The census will begin April 1, 2020. For more information, check the official census website.

NEWS | SCHOLARSHIP GUIDE

Scholarships: ‘Don’t be discouraged’ BY ALEXIS RICHARDSON & SUNDAY HOLLAND @byalexiscr

Students, add another thing to your workloads: applying to scholarships. Many students rely on scholarships to afford tuition, but not all students know where to find scholarships or how to apply for them. Applying is often seen as a daunting task. The University of Arizona offers four different main types of scholarships. There are merit-based scholarships, need-based scholarships, privatefunded donor scholarships and athletic scholarships. Students can receive a variety of these scholarships at the same time, paired with Pell Grants and loans determined using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSAs are due every year in the spring; they were due this year in the first week of March. Marc Acuña, director of Alumni and Student Engagement at the UA Alumni Association, manages 37 different national chapters and events aimed at raising money for UA student scholarships. The UA Alumni Association awards over $1 million to over 300 students every year, according to its website. “We’re not only awarding scholarships, we’re creating an impact that will connect these students to the university forever,” Acuña said. In total, there are 57 different local and national scholarships available through the UA Alumni Association, which can be found on Scholarship Universe. Scholarships are often based on merit, need, location or area of interest. The multicultural scholarships are all renewable for a four-year program as part of the UAAA Propel U Forward retention program, which aims to increase access to higher education for minority students. Students who are part of the Propel U Forward program have access to dining experiences, guest speakers and other opportunities. So, what can you do to be sure you have full opportunity of being awarded as many scholarships and grants as possible? The best and easiest way to apply to as much aid as possible is via the website or

application Scholarship Universe. Kerry Cowen, the student financial aid and Scholarship Universe project coordinator, said holding back from applying to scholarships is illadvised. “Scholarship Universe should be accessed right away and early,” Cowen said. Meghan McKenney, director of counseling for the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, advised students “apply for any and all scholarships and don’t be discouraged by small amounts.” McKenney said if students consider applying to scholarships a part-time job and just set aside some time to apply every week or month, they will start reaping the benefits. She advised to make a portfolio of essays to tailor and alter for each specific application. “We have invested so much in that resource to help you get money,” McKenney said. “We want you to get the most

money possible.” Cowen echoed that sentiment. “The more you apply to, the better your chances are,” Cowen said. “It’s sort of like when you apply for a job one at a time and just wait to see what happens. If you’re qualified, apply for it! It’s better to turn down offers than to not have any.” To start, students can go to arizonascholarshipuniverse.com and make a profile. McKenney said Scholarship Universe begins filtering criteria to match students with tons of scholarships they are eligible for. The more questions the students answers, the more applications file into their queue. Funds for the scholarships are raised through donors, typically UA alumni, and signature events. Some of these events include the SoCalCats Bear Down Scholarship Brunch, multiple golf tournaments and the OCCATS Angels baseball game. “We also have collegiate license plate, the Arizona Wildcat license plates that you see,” Acuña said. “We get a percentage of that for all the people that do that every year, and we award about $300,000 of collegiate license plate dollars every single year, just from people buying those license plates, which is awesome.” The peak time for applying to scholarships is from November to April, Cowen said. Once spring grades are announced, the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid awards are announced. The external non-UA award postings are announced at varying times, based on the specific donors. “We like to see students succeed. I don’t like to hear when students don’t have enough money to go to school,” Cowen said. “Just apply. We are doing all the work; all you have to do is follow up.”

Club attendance is important to democracy COLUMN

BY TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat

ave you noticed? The clubs across campus are looking a bit thinned out, and not only during this especially busy time. There is evidence of decreasing participation in extracurriculars across the University of Arizona, which is mirrored throughout the United States. This trend should concern us, because its effects reach to the strength of democracy in the United States. This year’s ASUA election made the phenomenon tangible. On February 20, 2019, ASUA’s elections commissioner Marlon Freeman announced the primary election would be cancelled because of low participation. For the first time since 2010, only one candidate was running for student body president. Only one candidate ran for each of the two vice presidential positions. In fact, of all of the positions available, students only had a choice for one: at-large senators. From casual observation and conversation, declining participation

appears to be true throughout campus. However, to inform my opinion, I reached out to 15 clubs on campus, asking about club participation over the last few years. Of the 15 clubs, I received 8 responses, with much stronger information than I expected. A summary: for one club, membership increased, though with low active involvement, for another club, membership was about normal, and the other six, unequivocally, saw decreasing membership. This decreasing membership looks different for the clubs who responded. UA’s Ballroom Dance Club saw no difference in declining membership. However, like we saw at the large level in ASUA, finding leaders has been a challenge. According to the anonymous respondent, “We have had to seek out and ask people to take leadership roles as not enough people are volunteering to take the roles when not specifically asked to do so. We have managed to have someone run for every leadership position, but very few leadership positions have more than one person run.” Other clubs have seen applicants to the club decline.

Finals are coming With the end of the year coming up fast, as well as all of the tests that come with it, Daily Wildcat columnists are sharing advice, tips and tricks they have for studying and ending the semester strong EDDIE CELAYA

You’re studying for finals. That would be your first mistake. You’ve already had about four months worth of classes (which, I assume, you attended for the most part), and you’ve completed numerous assignments. So what are you studying for now? You’ve been doing this stuff for months. Sure, go over your notes, re-do some problem problems or re-read a particularly tricky passage and make sure you get a decent night’s sleep. But for the most part, no five-hour or even long-weekend cram session is going to inject the learning of a subject it often takes months to understand into your brain. What I’m trying to get at is, for the most part, you have all the tools: You know what you know. And if you’ve matured to the point you trust in yourself and your knowledge, you’ve passed a much more important test than any you’ll face here in college. So relax. Take a deep breath. Remember you’re here in college due to the good work you did in high school, and tests only have outcomes of “pass” and “fail.” There isn’t a death penalty if you score too low.

NICHOLAS TRUJILLO

Finals? Finals! You want to talk about finals? As a journalism major my finals come in the form of projects, tears or a small paper. But if you have gargantuan tests that cover what seems like eight-years worth of material, don’t panic. Yeah that’s my advice for finals. It seems like such a little thing to do, but it goes a long way. You have been doing the same thing for the whole semester, so you should already have an idea of what will be on the final. Why let all the knowledge you’ve gained on a subject go to waste? Especially if it’s your passion, or even something you like. However, if this is a required general education class you’re stressing about, I guess hindsight is the only thing that can save you for next time. Take the notes you already know, pay attention to the lecture you’ve heard 1000 times. For next semester’s final, don’t take knowledge for granted, you’ll end up regretting it later. And most importantly, take the time you need for your self. Mental health is something you want to have in prime condition when crunch time comes. Take a nap when you can, eat that ice cream that’s calling you’re name in the night, text that friend you haven’t seen in a minute for some R&R. Being a student is tough, so take the help while it’s here.

Studying and preparing for those final exams can be the hardest part of the semester for some. There are so many tips and tricks you can learn over the years, but I’m going to add one to your list I find most useful. I am very much a visual and audio-oriented learner, so if I sit alone and try to review on my own, I have trouble. So in that case, you should find yourself a study buddy. A friend from class is the best choice, but any friend is also good. They will help you review and ask questions you may know the answer to. That way, you can also cover more areas that are hard to understand. Working with people can help build relationships that can create studying less awkward with people you don’t know. If you decide to take this tip, I hope it works for you. If you don’t, I’m sure you already have great studying skills. With that I wish you a happy testing season.

MARISSA HEFFERNAN

If you want to know what my study style is like, think Hermione Jean Granger in the later Harry Potter novels. While I don’t exactly color-code my classes, I do start studying about a month in advance and also start working on any final projects or papers just as early. I know it seems extreme, but it reduces my stress the week before finals, because at that point, I’ve been studying a little bit every day for a long time. The first week, I study or work on each task for about 15 minutes. With three weeks to go, I up that to half an hour. When it’s the two-week mark, I dig in and start studying for as long as it takes for me to get a handle on the material. Then, the week before finals, I can concentrate on editing and reviewing sections I have trouble with. The week of finals, I give everything a quick once-over and then call it a day. This system really works for me because it’s easy for me to schedule it all out in my planner, but I know this method isn’t for everyone. However, I really do recommend working on things a little at a time, especially when it comes to studying!

NEWS | NOTICE OF CLAIM

Athletes defend track coach BY EDDIE CELAYA @eddieatsalot

A letter from former and current University of Arizona track and field athletes defending the character of embattled head coach Fred Harvey gave the perception of a program that wanted to speak with one voice. Now, some of the athletes who signed their names to the letter are speaking out with stories of support of the coach. They include former Olympians, an NFL player and a current member of the team. “He is the main reason I made it to the Olympics,” said 2012 Olympian and one of Harvey’s former hurdlers Georganne Moline. “If it wasn’t for Coach Harvey and my mom … I would have quit track a long time ago.”

Notice of claim

A $10 million notice of claim filed with the Arizona Attorney General’s office against the UA by William Walker, attorney for former UA track and cross-country runner Michael Grabowski, accused Harvey of assault. Grabowski claims he was bullied and harassed by two “star runners,” whose names are redacted in the notice of claim. He claims nothing was done after he brought the bullying to his immediate coach, crosscountry coach James Li. “You can’t single out the two best runners on the team,” Li allegedly said, according to the notice of claim. Grabowski further claims Harvey summoned him to his McKale Center office for a meeting that also purportedly included Li and assistant cross-country coach Hanna Peterson on Sept. 12, 2018. Associate athletic trainer Ben Crawford also eventually joined in on the meeting and locked the door, and during the meeting, Harvey allegedly informed Grabowski he was no longer a part of the track program. When Grabowski inquired why, “Fred Harvey became irate, approached Mr. Grabowski, grabbed him by the wrists and threw him down. At this point, Mr. Grabowski fainted,” the claim states. The claim alleges Crawford called 911 in response and reported Grabowski had attempted to commit suicide. When police arrived, according to the claim, Grabowski agreed to be transported to Banner University Medical Center — not due to a suicide attempt, but instead because he had fainted. Due to the ordeal, Grabowski names Harvey, along with other coaches and UA Athletics administrators in the claim, as being complicit and responsible in their roles as state employees. In a statement at the end of the notice, Walker addresses the UA, saying he and his

client believe the case, “if not settled, will result in a large verdict at trial.” “We seek only what justice requires,” it said.

‘It’s important that the truth comes out’ Within the pages of the notice of claim, Harvey is painted as an aloof figurehead, unconcerned with reports of bullying. By contrast, the portrait emerging of Harvey after interviews with alumni and current athletes is of a man who cares for his athletes and their goals above all else, not just on the track, but in life. That’s why Gerhard de Beer, former UA discus-thrower and football player and current member of the Green Bay Packers, decided to sign his name to the letter supporting Harvey. It’s also why he choose to speak out himself. “You know for me, it’s important that the truth come out,” de Beer said. “Craig Carte, [ex track coach], went through some things, and I wasn’t about to put my name out there for him, because he was guilty.” Carter, who originally recruited de Beer to UA, was convicted last year of two counts of aggravated assault against a former throwing athlete he was having an affair with. He is currently serving a five-year prison sentence. Since de Beer’s girlfriend still lives in Tucson, and since most of the football staff he worked with in his time at the UA are gone, he said he seeks out Harvey when he comes to workout in McKale Center. “He’s always been excited for me, he was happy to see when I played for the first time

too,” de Beer said, referencing his Packers debut. “He was watching then, and he has always been supportive of my choices.” De Beer said he has talked with Harvey about the accusations, and although they bother him, de Beer said Harvey does not let it seep into how he prepares his athletes or treats people. “Coach Harvey, he’s a man who is placed in the wrong place at the wrong time and is completely innocent in the process,” de Beer said.

‘A big part of why I came here’

For Tiana Bonds-Marshall, a senior hurdler from Las Vegas, Harvey was everpresent before she even got on campus. He also seemed to have a different pitch than other coaches and recruiters. “He was just the most sweetest, awesome guy ever,” Bonds-Marshall said. “And you could tell right away his impact on the team made it kind of a family. I really liked the feel of that, and that’s why I decided to come here.” That family-like atmosphere is also what attracted Moline to the program. Like BondsMarshall, she credits Harvey with getting her on campus. Before Moline met Harvey during a track meet in her senior year of high school, she was planning to go anywhere but UA. “I’m from Phoenix, and I told my mom, ‘there is no way I’m going to UA,’” she said. “I was thinking of SDSU or Florida State.” But then Harvey showed up. Moline said

he approached her promising to focus on her goals and not necessarily the programs. “I want to help you, whatever your goals are, whatever they may be, I want to help you reach those,” Moline recallls Harvey saying. “It was such a different conversation than the other coaches.” Both Moline and Bonds-Marshall echoed how Harvey’s different, personal approach keeps athletes coming back to train even after their UA careers are over. Bonds-Marshall said the bond is so strong, she invited Harvey to her wedding last summer. “Coach Harvey is probably the only person, other than my parents, that never gave up on me,” Bonds-Marshall said.

‘Is a chicken capable of flying across country?’

All three of the ahtletes interviewed expressed extreme doubt about the accusations leveled against Harvey in Grabowski’s notice of claim. According to Moline, Harvey is incapable of such an act. Bonds-Marshall said she had never seen Harvey even lose his cool. From de Beer’s perspective, he said Harvey’s demeanor was much more laid back than another one of his coach’s: exUA football coach Rich Rodriguez. “Is a chicken capable of flying across the country?” de Beer said. “All he does is stream out positivity and work ethic.”

NEWS | CHILD-ABUSE DETECTION

Student engineers create device to date bruises in child abuse cases BY ALANA MINKLER @alana_minkler

Bruises turn all sorts of weird colors over time, from red, purplishblue, greenish-yellow to brown. A group of engineering students created a device to analyze these colors and chronologically date bruises, specifically those in child abuse cases. Alexandra Janowski, a member of the team and a senior studying biomedical engineering, said with further analysis, the device might determine the age of a bruise from its coloration created by hemoglobin and bilirubin as the bruise heals. Physicians could use this device to determine the age of a bruise in scenarios where they can’t necessarily go off spoken accounts. This could be if the patient is nonverbal or there are unclear circumstances. Dr. Dale Woolridge is a professor of emergency medicine, pediatrics and chemistry and biochemistry and the medical director of Southern Arizona Children’s Advocacy Center. He helped sponsor the project to develop the device. “In processing child abuse, one of the things that we try to identify is conflicted injury and/or if we can determine anything about how it was done and how old it might be,” Woolridge said. “A big difficulty they have in forensic medicine is that it’s really not feasible through what is currently known to chronologically date a bruise.” Pre-verbal children might not be able to tell law enforcement what happened, so who caused the injury often can’t be determined because of multiple guardians, Woolridge said. “The individual who doesn’t want to be found out is going to be pointing at the other people,” he said. The device will improve the accuracy of identification by allowing a physician to make an accurate judgment of when the bruise occurred. “Children who die of child abuse, if you look at their medical records, were very often, up to 20 percent of them, seen by a doctor within a

month of their death,” Woolridge said. “So, if you can identify abuse victims, you can remove them from the abusive environment; you can save lives.”

The project’s beginnings

Woolridge brought up the idea for the device to Urs Utzinger, associate department head of biomedical engineering undergraduate affairs, in 2018. Utzinger made a proposal to the College of Engineering to be part of the senior Engineering Design Program. The student engineering group was created by pre-assignment based on individuals’ interests and skills. Samantha Davidson is the student leader of the project and a senior studying biomedical engineering. “I think we were all interested in this project because we knew in the long run it would have a really great impact on children,” Davidson said. Ghazal Moghaddami is another student working on the project. She is a senior studying biomedical engineering. “This was definitely one of my top choices,” Moghaddami said. “It’s just something that’s very important, especially for the kids that can’t speak for themselves, and I think this kind of helps physicians understand a little more in detail about bruises.”

The team

The student team consists of five biomedical engineering students and one mechanical engineering student. The students are from places like Arizona all the way to Tehran, Iran; Chaiyaphum, Thailand; Ciudad Obregón and Sonora, Mexico and Beijing, China. “I feel like I’ve never gotten to really get to know a group of people this well through a project before,” Janowski said. “I learned how to communicate and interact with people that have a different background than me and really just get to learn more, not just about people, but the places they’ve been and the experiences they’ve had. I just got to get a whole perspective on what it’s like to be a woman in engineering through all parts of the world.”

COURTESY SAMANTHA DAVIDSON

A TEAM OF SIX University of Arizona engineering students developed a device to detect how long a bruise has been on a body.

Moghaddami, who is from Iran, said it wasn’t that different from working with other groups — but she felt comfortable. “We made it fun for sure,” Moghaddami said. Woodridge said he hasn’t worked with a lot of engineering students before. “It’s been a lot of fun hearing the back and forth, the problem solving, the discussion of the model, the design, what it would entail,” Woolridge said. “It seems like the students really enjoyed what they were doing.”

The project challenges

Davidson said in the first semester, they focused on planning, and the second semester, they started building in a lab, doing circuit diagrams and finishing touches. All the women interviewed said coding was the most difficult aspect. Moghaddami focused on developing the spectrometer and SD card code. She said coding was the most challenging because most

of the students were unfamiliar with program. “We had our setbacks, and we had problems we faced that we didn’t expect, but we found ways to overcome them by working with each other, reaching out to other people, and we really kind of came above everything that we thought was going to tear us down,” Janowski said. She said a few days ago they thought the micro controller was broken and the whole project was going to fall apart. They spent a late night in the lab and all worked together to fix it. “It’s almost amazing to me that we made it this far and that our project is going successfully,” Janowski said.

Going forward

“We’re really excited to show our device on Design Day, and we’re really proud of how much we’ve learned,” Davidson said. “We didn’t know a lot in the beginning. We only knew what we had learned in our classes, and we finally got to apply it to a real project, and that was really

exciting.” Woolridge said the next step to look at ethicacy, or the medical ethics of using such a device, and if it works and how accurate it will it be. The device will have to go through studies and progress towards working with live patients. Woolridge pointed out studying bruises entails either finding someone who has an actual bruise or having to inflict one. “It’s hard to justify ethically a study in which you are subjectifying your subjects to an injury,” Woolridge said, which is why there will be a progression to a true human model. For her part, Janowski said she was looking forward to the potential this device has. “I’m excited to see how the device is able to take us to the future with that as well as being able to help children in abuse situations be able to kind of have a voice that they’ve never been able to have,” Janowski said.

UA alumna to purr-form in ‘Cats’ in Centenial Hall

Ahren Victory, who graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in Arts, Media and Entertainment, will return to the University of Arizona campus this month — this time with whiskers BY JESSE TELLEZ @jtell27

Victory is performing in the national tour of “Cats,” the Broadway musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which follows the story of a group of junkyard cats. The showing will be in Centennial Hall from April 30 to May 5. The Daily Wildcat spoke with Victory about the upcoming show. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. Daily Wildcat: In “Cats” you play the cat Sillabub. Can you tell me a little bit about that character? Ahren Victory: I do — Sillababy, as I like to call her. She is one of the youngest kittens. She is what Grizabella [a much older and neglected cat] used to be in her youth. She is curious, yearns for adventure and sees all the world has to offer and has a big heart. She is one of the first to accept Grizabella and sings to Griz during “Memory” to renew her sense of fight after she’s fallen. DW: What has been your favorite part of touring the country with the show? AV: One of my favorite things, besides the show itself, is seeing the impact the show has on audiences in every city. Interacting with the fans/patrons and hearing them share how the show has been a part of their lives, or if it’s their first time seeing it and how it has touched them “beyond belief,” is really rewarding and impactful. DW: How long have you been touring with “Cats,” and how long

does the tour last? AV: I’ve been on the tour since it started this past January. The tour is actually open-ended. More and more cities are being added to the tour route. DW: Do you have a favorite musical number you get to perform in “Cats”? AV: This is such a tough question! I love my track, singing with Grizabella during “Memory,” and if I absolutely had to choose, I think the “Jellicle Ball” is my favorite dance piece. DW: What do you hope audiences will get out of coming to see the musical? AV: I hope audiences are able to see themselves in some of the characters. My wish is for audiences to be taken into the Junkyard and be touched in some way. I think everyone can relate to feeling out of place and yearning to be accepted or loved. DW: How does it feel to come perform at the UA after graduating from here two years ago? AV: It’s a bit surreal and very exciting. It’s a full-circle moment for me in a few ways. DW: When you were at the UA, did you perform in any of the Arizona Repertory Theatre shows? AV: I did! I performed in “Othello” and “Cabaret.” DW: How did studying at the UA help prepare you for your career as a performer? AV: Truth be told, the bulk of my prep came from finishing my UA degree while living in New

York. I had the opportunity to attend Joffrey Ballet School’s Jazz Trainee program, and I was able to network, audition and perform in the city all while finishing up my degree with UA.

DW: Do you have any big upcoming plans after “Cats?” AV: Returning to New York! I love the city; it’s home. I’m looking forward to working and performing in Manhattan again.

DW: If you could play any role in a musical next, what would it be? AV: Oh, this is a tough one. Nina in “In the Heights” but “West Side Story” as well, though I’m torn between Anita and Maria.

THE DYNAMIC DUO

CARLOS VILLARREAL Daily Wildcat: When you see yourself at the No. 2 1500-meter spot in the world, what does that mean to you? Carlos Villarreal: It’s honestly pretty crazy, not going to lie. I know it’s early given the world championships are in October. Not like the Kenyans and Ethiopians and a lot of the Europeans that are usually at the top of the world have yet to run all out, because they are waiting around. But just to be at No. 2 right now is crazy. It doesn’t really feel like it, and I know I still have a lot of work to do.

BY ALEC WHITE @alecwhite_ua

One possesses brute strength, the other undeniable speed. Together, they’ve formed a dynamic duo on the Arizona track and field team and are both looking to make history. Thrower Jordan Geist and distance runner Carlos Villarreal have turned into must-watch competitors when they step onto the track, and they are only getting better. Geist ranks fifth in the world with a 21.59-meter shot put throw and Villarreal ranks second in the 1500-meter run with a time of 3:37.22. Both athletes recently sat down with the Daily Wildcat to discuss how they’ve become two of the best in the world in their respective events.

DW: What’s been the training process this season to improve your speed? CV: Once indoor wrapped up, we focused on longer distances. I opened up the season in a 5K run, and that went decent, because I PRed [got a personal record]. Starting out with such a large distance like that really opened up my season to where I can go and run the 800-meter, and that set will be my training for the 1500. My training has come along great, and now it’s about getting ready for the Pac-12 Championships.

DW: You posted a video recently of your kick at the end of a race where you fell down crossing the finish line as you were trying to out-run the runner next to you. What was that finish like, and has that ever

happened before? CV: Yeah that was at the Bryan Clay Invitational. I fell back heading into the final lap and had a lot of ground to pick up with 400 meters to go. So I took off on my kick from there. Three hundred, I went into the next gear, two hundred, I went into the next gear, and then I used whatever I had left in the last 100 meters. Then, 20 meters to go, my legs just give out, and I begin to stumble, but I’m right next to my competitor, and as I try to get the lean in, I just tumbled through the line. That was a crazy experience. That sort of finish hasn’t happened to me before, but there have been some close ones before. I did stumble in the Husky Invitational where a Washington runner went down in front of me and took me down with him. DW: What does it mean to run in the Pac-12 Championships soon in your home state and for your school to host them? CV: The first time I found out I was going to be able to run here in Tucson in the Pac-12 Championships, I was really excited. Being from Southern Arizona, I’ve been a Wildcat fan my whole life, so just to have the opportunity to run and represent the University of Arizona in front of my family while competing for the Pac-12 Championship is just a dream come true.

JORDAN GEIST Daily Wildcat: What goes through your mind when you see your name toward the top of not only the NCAA leader list, but the world leader list, too? Jordan Geist: It’s cool, because I’ve been there before, and I’m comfortable being at the top of the nation. What I need to do now is carry that over and not use it as an arrogance but a chip on my shoulder going into nationals and Pac-12. I know that on a good day, I am the best in the nation, and I just need to keep that mentality the rest of the season. DW: What makes you feel comfortable being at the top? JG: All through high school and even last year, I had the furthest throw. Like, last year I had the furthest throw in the NCAA, and this year, too. It’s not necessarily a comfort, but it helps me knowing I have a target on my back and I have to keep training harder and getting better.

DW: If you’re already one of the best in the world, how do you find ways to improve? JG: The biggest thing for me is to keep focusing on my technique. My technique has been a lot better these last few weeks ever since we gotten to outdoors … now we just have to switch what we’re doing in the weight room and try to get a little quicker now. DW: What has attributed to honing your technique

and achieving new personal records? JG: For the outdoors, just being patient and calm. I would get really worked up during indoors and wouldn’t throw well. That’s why I didn’t do well at nationals. I got fifth, when I was ranked second. Now, I am actually relaxing and executing my throw a lot better, and that’s why it’s going further. DW: What did you do that allowed you to become for patient and calm? JG: A lot of it was just talking to other people, like Darrell Hill; he was an Olympian in 2016, he is from Pennsylvania, and so am I. So we have a bit of a connection, and he was talking to me about when he won the Diamond League Championship two years ago, he was just saying the slower he felt he was going, the further his throws were going. So that’s what I put in my mind and was focusing on. DW: What’s your excitement level at knowing you have the chance to win the Pac-12 Championships in front of the home crowd in Tucson this year? JG: I think it’s really awesome that the fan base we have, we a huge fan base in Tucson, and I think we’re going to get a lot of people to come out. We’re going to see a lot of fast times, a lot of far throws and a lot of far jumps. There’s going to be a lot of families that come out, so it will be cool to be a part of that.

SPORTS | VOLLEYBALL

So far, so good: Safar impresses in first year BY JACOB MENNUTI @jacob_mennuti

Arizona beach volleyball had one of its best seasons in program history with freshman standout Jasmine Safar playing an important role for the Sand Cats this season. Her journey to Arizona, though, did not initially start in the sand. Safar was born in Ontario, Canada, where her first love of soccer was sparked at a young age, until her mentality shifted away from the game. “I originally played soccer and was focused on that, but my mom wanted me to play a different sport to balance out being injured, so I decided to play volleyball,” she said. Safar played both soccer and court volleyball until she was 15. She decided to quit soccer and focus on one sport after issues with her knees prevented her from playing both. Safar then opted to transition from the court to the sand and play beach volleyball. “I touched the ball a lot more, and it was a lot more fun and relaxed, so I decided that I wanted to go down to the states for that,” the freshman said. The recruitment process in high school took off for Safar as her skills developed enough to attract attention from other schools, but her eyes were always set on one place — UA. Her connections with a former assistant coach at Arizona made her determined to come to Tucson. “I sent emails to coach Steve [Walker], sent him my highlight videos, and asked if he could come watch me, since I was coming to California to play and it all kinda started from there,” Safar said. College sports hasn’t been the only place where she has found success, however. This past March, Safar qualified for the FIVB World Championship to represent Canada’s top team for her age group in Thailand this summer. “It’s always unreal to be able to represent your country,” she said. “It’s been a main goal for me, so that was a great victory.” Despite the back and forth of playing for two teams, Safar doesn’t see it as a challenge. She said it’s the people around her that make the extra playing time easier to manage. “The coaches do a really good job of preparing us,” she said. “It’s all volleyball, so if you’re good at one thing, you can transfer it over into something else.” The freshman sensation has found her groove on the sand this season with another fellow first year player teammate Sarah Blacker. The duo played as the team’s No. 4 pair and compiled a 22-3 record with wins against Cal Poly, ASU, Stetson and Stanford. “Sarah is really good at a lot of things. She’s very consistent and level headed,” Safar said of her teammate. “We’ve been playing pretty well this year, and I think a lot of that is because of her leadership.” Safar is one of the four freshmen on the team this year. Her breakout year is suggesting that the future is bright for Arizona beach volleyball.

OPINIONS | BEING AN ALLY

Want to be woke? Stop asking your friends COLUMN

BY SELENA KUIKAHI @selenaaavanessa

veryone wants to be woke — so this is why utilizing Google before your peers is key to your self-serving venture toward allyship. As Audre Lorde onced said “[People of color] are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world. The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions.” Many argue cross-cultural exchanges and transracial learning are what keep the peace and understanding across communities. The issue with this concept is the same groups of people are educating and the remaining are expected to be babied in their ignorance. In the same way those that experience other -isms based on their sexuality, gender, race, disability, background, religion, etc. have vastly different life experiences than others, the remaining groups that have thrived in their “normality” are, and always will be, confined in their

bubble of privilege. This raises the question: How does one who benefits from any said privilege educate themself on the experiences of others? How does one properly come to understand the varying perspectives of their peers without infringing on others’ wellbeing and boundaries? The answers said individual is looking for dwell in a place of self-initiative and apprehension of opposing thresholds. For example, it is not a POC’s responsibility to explicate their traumatic experiences with racism in order to feed into their white counterparts’ “critical thinking of race.” It is from a place of privilege white people are able to use critical thinking as a way into the race conversation without the analyzation of their own privilege. One who is not a person of color cannot completely remove themselves from a realm of privilege in said conversation solely on the basis of inquisition. This isn’t algebra — asking to join the rapport on the premise of “if you don’t teach me how shall I ever learn?” doesn’t PEMDAS your privilege out of the equation. The answer is not “You’ll never learn, then!” Rather, it is a sign to utilize the many other resources available to you before asking for allyship as a result of curiosity. What you are actually asking for is the performance of free emotional and mental labor. It is important to keep in mind that no matter the

domain of privilege one may reside in, said privilege does not necessitate conscious participation in order for the benefits to continue perpetuating. So how can one work toward dismantling the layers of privilege that constantly bury marginalized communities? Education — but not without action. A person cannot become a selfproclaimed ally, that is a title to be earned and honored without irony. There are plenty of people that have put out bodies of work, across all media, in which their sole intention is to share personal stories and educate those who have not and cannot directly encounter them. As a student, utilize your academic assets. If you are not enrolled in a gender studies class, for example, reach out to faculty that can connect you to the content appropriate to your queries. Read a book, watch a documentary, go to a seminar, listen to a podcast — seek out information on your own before turning to your peers for information that may be ill-stated with underlying tones of ableism, homophobia and so on. It is not enough to want to learn if your first step is asking for education rather than pursuing investigation fueled by your own energy. — Selena Kuikahi is a sophomore studying film and television and pre-law at the University of Arizona.

SPORTS | SPRING ROUNDUP

WEEKEND REVIEW

The spring semester is almost complete, and several Arizona sports teams are starting to wrap up their seasons. Some have already hit postseason play, while others close out their regular season in the next couple weeks. Here’s a breakdown of where each sport stands: BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA

Softball

After a remarkable stretch that lasted over a month, Arizona softball’s 21-game win streak came to an end over the weekend against the California Golden Bears. The Wildcats got off to a 16-0 conference record before falling to Cal on a ninth-inning walk-off in the second game of the weekend series. The ‘Cats were still able to win the series in games one and three to improve to 40-8 with six games remaining. As of now, Arizona remains firmly entrenched in the top-10 polls, ranking as high as No. 3 in the NCAA RPI standings. Up next is perhaps the most difficult — and important — six-game stretch of the season, with No. 4 Washington, last year’s Women’s College World Series runner-up, coming to town, followed by a road trip to No. 2 UCLA, a place where the UA fell in last year’s Super Regionals.

Women’s golf

The quest to defend the title will begin in East Lansing, Mich. After last year’s dramatic finish to win the NCAA national championship, UA women’s golf won’t be sneaking up on anybody this year and heads into the postseason with a favorable draw. After taking home second place in the Pac-12 Championships, the Wildcats secured the No. 2 seed in the East Lansing regional spot, home of the Michigan State Spartans. The NCAA Regionals are May 6-8, and the top six teams from each regional will advance to the National Championship at Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark., May 17-22. Arizona senior Bianca Pagdanganan and sophomore Yu-Sang Hou were named to the Pac-12 All-Conference team for their strong season and will look to carry their momentum in postseason play.

Boasting some of the best athletes in the country, Arizona track and field will host the Pac-12 Championships over the next two weekends. The Multi-Event Championships take place May 4-5, and the Single-Event Championships go from May 11-12. Most recently, the Wildcats hosted the Desert Heat Classic where several athletes set career-best or season-best marks. Junior Justice Summerset set a new high with a 2.25-meter high jump, good for No. 5 on UA’s all-time list. Sophomore Jordan Geist won the discus throw at 56.08 meters, earning him a season high, and freshman hurdler James Smith set the No. 2 mark in school history with a 50.11 time in the 400-meter hurdles.

Beach volleyball

Despite having the best regular season in program history and entering the postseason on a 14game winning streak, Arizona beach volleyball posted a 1-2 record in the Pac-12 Tournament over the weekend, losing to UCLA and Cal. Coming into the tournament ranked No. 13 in the country, the Wildcats needed to make a run to the conference championship match to solidify a spot in the NCAA Tournament where only the top eight teams make it, but they were unable to do so. The Sand Cats’ season comes to a close with an impressive 25-6 record, 13 of those wins coming at home.

Baseball

Arizona baseball has had a rough season, posting a 19-22 record heading into the final month of the regular season. UA’s biggest struggles have come away from Tucson, where the team has compiled a 4-14 record. The Wildcats most recently dropped two of three games in Palo Alto, Calif. to No. 3 Stanford. With not much time to turn things around, head coach Jay Johnson and his team will likely miss the NCAA Tournament for the second-consecutive year. The season hasn’t been all bad for the Wildcats, as junior Nick Quintana continues to try to prove he can play at the next level. Quintana hit his 10th home run over the weekend, marking the first time since 2008 a UA player has hit 10-plus homers in back-to-back seasons.

an endship to the friendship Teamwork makes the scheme work. Two intruders snuck into a student’s room and almost got away with it — until the student woke up. Two University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived at Coronado Residence Hall at around 11:15 p.m. on April 11. They had received word a student awoke that morning to find two women exiting her room. The student reported she had no roommate and had not given anyone permission to enter her room that day. She later received an email from the hall’s front desk charging her for a key they gave her to enter the locked room, a key she had not actually requested. The officers first spoke with the front desk assistant. She told them at around 10 a.m. that morning she gave a key to a woman who she had believed was the student. The imposter had shown a CatCard with a picture that looked similar to the picture of the student in the

computer system. The woman came back about one minute later with both another woman and a suitcase in tow. She returned the key and the pair vanished. When the real student came down later to ask about the email, the desk assistant realized she was clearly not the same woman who had taken the key. The officers then spoke in-person with the student. She told them that, when she awoke, she recognized them as two UA students who were former friends; they recently had a falling out. She said when she awoke, the women were leaving the room with some of their belongings when the student woke up. None of her possessions had been taken. Since the woman had not given permission for them to be in the room, the student wanted to press charges for trespassing and identity theft. She later changed her mind, and told the officers she wanted to deal with the issue without pressing criminal charges. The officers went to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall to talk with the two women. When they found them, the first woman, the one who claimed to be the student, told the officers she went into the room to retrieve her speaker, which she left in there. She said she told the student she was coming, though the student had never responded or given permission to enter. She initially followed behind residents in order to get into the building before going to the front desk and pretending to be the student to get a spare key. She admitted what she did was inappropriate. The second woman confirmed the first

woman’s story. She also said she thought they were all still friends and they often went into each others rooms. The officers informed the women some of what they had done constitutes criminal behavior and could have led to their arrest. The officers filed a Code of Conduct Violation for the first woman and an FYI for the second woman.

circle not ok Relaxing on a front porch drinking a beer at the end of a long day is one of life’s simple joys. Unless, of course, it’s someone else’s front porch, and you have no permission to be there. Then, it’s trespassing. A concerned citizen flagged down a UAPD officer near the intersection of Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard after spotting a man suspected to be intoxicated shouting near Tyndall Avenue on the night of April 11. The officer surveyed the area and spotted a man matching the description. The officer noted the man was not actually causing a disturbance or engaging in any other suspected criminal activity. He tried to speak with the man, who refused and left. The officer watched him enter a Circle K. Shortly after, a second person, this time a UA student, flagged down the officer. The student told him she and her roommates lived in a nearby house. One of her roommates had just told her about a shirtless, unknown man standing on their porch. She asked the officer to investigate.

The officer went to the house and saw the same man from earlier, now sitting on the front porch drinking a can of beer. At his feet was an open case of Bud Light. The officer approached and asked the man if he lived there or had permission to be on the porch. The man answered no to both questions. Noticing the beer, which the man had not had before, the officer asked where he had gotten the beverage. The man said someone gave it to him. While in the midst of their conversation, a Circle K clerk came up to the officer and told him the man had shoplifted the beer from the store a few minutes ago. According to the clerk, the man had walked into the store, grabbed a 24-pack of beer from the display case and walked out. Security footage verified this. The officer handcuffed the man and placed him in his patrol vehicle. He also performed a records check and found the man had a trespass order from all Circle K stores in Tucson, banning him from being on the premise. The clerk wished to prosecute for both theft and trespassing. The woman who had flagged down the officer also returned and confirmed it was her house and the man did not have pemission to be there. However, she also said she did not wish to prosecute the man for trespassing. The officer arrested the man for shoplifting and criminal trespassing. The officer transported the man to Community Bridges, a program that, among other services, helps treat chronic re-offender. The man voluntarily entered into the program.

ARTS & LIFE | MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

Tucson Palooza returns to UA Mall BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs

The third-annual Tucson Palooza is coming to the University of Arizona Mall this Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. — just in time for finals week. The Tucson Palooza is organized by UA’s mental health program, Camp Wellness, and is presented by Arizona Complete Health. Admission to the event is free. Pamela Wagner, lead coordinator for this year’s Tucson Palooza, promises “this is not your typical resource fair.” The Tucson Palooza is a living, evolving mental health awareness event to feature food, games, giveaways and live entertainment for all ages. “Tucson Palooza strives to make mental health an accessible, nonthreatening topic [for] everyone by presenting Tucson’s mental health resources in a festive, family-friendly setting,” said Joanna Keyl, exhibitor coordinator for the Tucson Palooza. Mayor Jonathan Rothschild will kick off this year’s event, followed by live music by local bands and DJs who have volunteered their time for this event, including DJ Clint Pittenger, DUI Squad, The Rifle, CW Tubbs and the Bucket List Band and E.S.P. Student passersby and other attendants can look forward to dunk tanks, duck races, a meditation labyrinth, “living libraries” providing open dialogue on mental health issues and encounters with therapy dogs from the Humane Society. According to Wagner, coordinators are working on acquiring therapy miniature horses as well. “Because mental illness is still highly stigmatized, we need to make sure that people feel as comfortable as possible attending the event and talking about it with their friends, kids and others,” Keyl said. “We do that by emphasizing the festive atmosphere and making music and games a main focus of Tucson Palooza.” This year, the Tucson Palooza is implementing the first ever First Responders Lip-Off Challenge — a lip sync battle between local emergency service departments beginning 11:15 a.m.

NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES STUDENTS KIERSTEN Kunkle, left, and Macie Andrews, right, walk out of the Campus Health Center.

According to Cheryl Glass, the event’s music coordinator and Director of the UA Health and Wellness Center, the Lip-Off Challenge is the experimental brainchild of the Tucson Palooza Steering Committee intended to build a bridge between first responders and the community. “Sometimes people in the community have never had the opportunity to have positive interactions with first responders,” Glass said. “The opportunity to interact with first responders in a different context creates a chance to find commonalities, build positive connections and remind us all that we’re working together for the health and safety of our community.” Getting first responders and the community to have faith in each other is paramount when discussing mental health, and Glass said she believes the best way to bridge that gap is through music and playful interaction. “Music is such a powerful way to build connections,” Glass said. The Tucson Palooza is also partnering with UA Finals Survival Week this year. According to Wagner, the Tucson Palooza spends each year at a new location to spread awareness to all different communities. By hosting Tucson Palooza on the UA Mall, coordinators like Glass hope to reach a broader audience and give students the opportunity

to benefit from this event — through relaxation and stress relief. “We, as a behavioral health community, notice enough swing in resources being needed during this time of year,” Wagner said. “We want to be sure that students have access to those resources.” Glass said the Tucson Palooza is a great opportunity for students to take a break from studying and soak up some Vitamin D. Between the natural light, fun games and cuddly therapy dogs, the Tucson Palooza is a recipe for positivity. “These are all strategies that help people relax and clear their minds, which will improve their ability to concentrate,” Glass said. “These same strategies have a positive impact on mental health. I hope that students remember this for years to come, that when facing tough times or stressful situations, taking a break, getting out and having some fun will help carry them through.” By amassing a following and spreading mental health awareness every May, Keyl said she believes the Tucson Palooza has potential to become a local staple. “I would love to see Tucson become better known for its great mental health resources, and Tucson Palooza could certainly take a central role in that,” Keyl said.

OPINIONS | THE BORDER

Yuma is approaching the border crisis differently COLUMN

BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat

n February 15, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at our border with Mexico, citing the surging illegal immigration numbers and the inability of Border Patrol to control the flow of people into the country without emergency funding. Now, two months later, the border city of Yuma has followed suit, with Mayor Douglas Nicholls declaring the sheer number of migrants dropped off by Border Patrol within the city is overwhelming the resources the city has its disposal. But unlike President Trump’s declaration of a state of emergency to push for harsher border policing and a national wall, Yuma’s declaration is based around a national policy that punishes border cities unjustly. Donald Trump’s focus on the border is his big issue; it is what separates him from previous presidents, both Democrat and Republican. While President Obama oversaw heightened border arrests and increased Border Patrol funding, he ultimately supported the DACA act and attempted to encourage comprehensive immigration reform, albeit unsuccessfully. And President Bush, the most recent Republican president before Trump, attempted to push a path to citizenship for the then-12 million immigrants without documentation through an unsupportive Congress. But when Trump began to face blowback against his campaign for a border wall and a stronger Border Patrol, he took the situation into his own hands and declared a state of emergency to have access to emergency funds to oversee his programs without Congress’ direct oversight. The effect this has had on border cities can be seen in Yuma, where border arrests, community releases and heightened pressure to get on board with national policy is driving cities’ budgets into the ground. Just this month, some 1,000 migrants were detained near Yuma, with Border Patrol telling the

city to prepare for mass-scale migrant interning in the city despite major overcrowding and underfunding. As U.S. Customs and Border Protection said itself, “For the first time in over a decade, CBP is performing direct releases of migrants when ICE is unable to provide bed space to relieve overcrowding,” meaning the hawkish border policy pursued by the federal government is forcing cities on the front lines to face the brunt of costs and consequences. When Nicholls declared a state of emergency this past week, he emphasized, “we are not anticipating large-scale crime issues. We are not anticipating situations that would make Yuma a dangerous place,” highlighting that migrants held or released in Yuma are in family units and have both background and health checks. Instead, the purpose of his declaration was to encourage the state and federal government to step to the plate and provide the funding necessary to oversee their goals while avoiding a mass humanitarian crisis. The pursuit of an intensive and restrictive border policy results in mass detentions, deportations, housing and aid programs, and so far, the federal government has been forcing border cities to foot the bill. At the moment, the Trump administration is manufacturing a greater crisis at the border than existed before and isolating itself from Congress to avoid oversight. As arrests rise to levels now exceeding Obama’s numbers, who Pew reported oversaw the peak of illegal immigration before a slow and steady decline, Trump’s border policies are creating overcrowding, lack of supplies, food shortages and understaffed detention centers. When we look at the statewide financial conditions of the border cities forced to fit Trump’s bill, Yuma’s declaration begins to make sense. The White House has to make up its mind: If it is going to pursue an arrest-heavy, detention-focused and restrictive border policy, it has to provide funding and leadership for local border communities, or we will be faced with a man-made humanitarian crisis worse than anything illegal immigration would have otherwise brought. — Alec Scott is a junior studying political science and German studies.

BY ISABELLA BARRON @bellsbarron

University of Arizona alumna Morgan Larson has felt the art of dance rushing through her veins since she was a child. As a young girl, Larson said she knew she was destined to thrive as a dancer on the West Coast. Graduating from the UA with a dance degree led her to Los Angeles, where she has had the opportunity to perform in movies, TV shows and commercials. “Growing up in Wisconsin, I knew that I was supposed to go somewhere else. At a very young age, I knew that I was western-bound,” Larson said. She began dancing competitively at 11 years old, which she said opened her eyes to the world of dance. She recalls watching music videos as a young girl, which further enforced her desire to pursue a career in dance. Larson said she enjoys dancing in commercial jazz and ballroom styles. “I fell in love with ballroom because I was on Dancing with the Stars, but a blend of commercial jazz and ballroom are my favorite styles,” Larson said. In her eight years of living in Los Angeles, Larson

has performed in movies such as “La La Land”, “Ted” and “Teen Beach Movie.” She has also performed and choreographed on “Dancing with the Stars” and starred in a Virgin America safety video and several commercials. After performing in her first movie, “Teen Beach Movie,” which premiered in 2013, Larson said she fell in love with dancing on film. “That’s where I fell in love with the storytelling that dance can do. After doing stuff on film, dance became really important to me because it was delivering a message,” She said. Larson said UA prepared a for her career in dance and her life as a whole, teaching her perseverance and work-ethic. “You’re not always going to remember every single thing you learned in your classes, but because you finished that class, or that semester, or that year, you have this drive in you that you can apply in real life,” Larson said. Although a good amount of the people Larson dances with do not have degrees in dance, she said she is still proud of the decision she made to study at UA and obtain her degree. One of Larson’s most notable UA influencers is

her former ballet professor, James Clouser, who said he definitely remembers teaching Larson. Clouser recalled Larson as being unusually talented. He said he felt he treated her as he treated his other students, except she was able to learn from him in a special way and applied his teachings well. Ryan Burton-Romero, the director of enrollment management and recruitment in the College of Fine Arts, expressed his pride in Larson’s success, saying she is a “perfect example” of what skills and opportunities the college has to offer. “We are proud of all she has accomplished and what is to come. She is a true Wildcat,” Burton-Romero said. Jory Hancock, the director of the school of dance, also recalled Larson’s talent. “As a choreographer and as a mover, she has a real brilliance. I am really glad to hear that she is doing so well,” Hancock said. Larson is currently pursuing her love for dancing on film and television. Although she has accomplished a lot already, Larson said she still has a strong desire to keep working for her dream. “My run is not over. I have so many things to do, and I really genuinely want to accomplish them. I’m not just saying it, I’m gonna do it,” Larson said.

Celebrity Guru donates $15 million to UA center

Dr. Andrew Weil founded the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine 25 years ago. This year, he donated $15 million, which brings his total donations to the center up to $20 million BY QUINCY SINEK @quincymccllelan

Philanthropist, author and physician Dr. Andrew Weil committed $15 million to the UA Center for Integrative Medicine on March 12. The center was renamed the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine in Weil’s honor. Weil is a celebrity doctor known as a “guru” of alternative medicinal brands. He founded the Center for Integrative Medicine at UA 25 years ago and has made previous donations to the center, totaling $5 million. The Daily Wildcat spoke with Weil on his contributions and his hopes for the center. Daily Wildcat: You recently donated $15 million to name the UA Center for Integrative Medicine. Why did you decide to give a donation of that size? Andrew Weil: Well, the program needs to be on solid financial footing. For a long time, we’ve needed a physical building to bring together all of our people who are now scattered all over, and we needed some endowed professorships. This is really part of the commitment to grow the center, and the university is going to find matching funds for all these things that we’re doing. DW: What do you hope they do with the money? AW: Well, first we want a building, and the building has to reflect the philosophy of integrative medicines, so the planning and design of the building will be consistent with that philosophy. We hope to have a demonstration kitchen and gardens and spaces for people to reflect. We may see a few patients there, but in addition, we’re going to be opening a clinic with Banner Health. It’ll be separate from the university. DW: What led to you founding the Center for Integrative Medicine in 1994? AW: You know, I really felt there was an urgent need to change medical education, and we started off as a relatively small program. We trained four fellows a year, we developed a curriculum in integrative medicine, and then, after a number of years, we expanded that to a distributive learning format and began training many more people. We’ve just grown steadily and became a center of excellence and now are quite a large and growing part of the College of Medicine. DW: What are your hopes for the future of the Center for Integrative Medicine? AW: I really hope that — first of all, I think we already

are the world leader in education in this field — we’d like to see a really robust research program as well. We want to offer clinical services, and we are gonna try to develop new models of clinical care that can be the way of healthcare in the future. Because we really feel that integrative medicine can produce better outcomes at lower costs than conventional medicine and the most common conditions that now absorb most of our healthcare dollars. DW: You’ve now donated a total of $20 million to UA. What led you to start donating to the school? AW: For a long time, we were really pressed for money. We never got money from the state of Arizona. We got some federal funds, and we have become self-sustained through tuition, but we’ve never had enough money to grow and add faculty. A long time ago, I donated my salary back to the university to go to the center.

DW: You’re a physician, author and spokesperson. You’ve been on covers of TIME magazine and have received multiple awards and high rankings for your work. What’s been the highlight of your career so far? AW: Really, I think at this moment, having the university finally acknowledge that we are a very valuable asset and commit to raising funds to give us a physical presence on the campus and support the growth of integrative medicine, that’s been really gratifying to see that happen. DW: Do you have anything to add? AW: I think a lot of this has happened because Bobby Robbins became president and really, I think, is the first president of the University of Arizona who really understood integrative medicine and saw its value. So it’s his commitment to it that has led to all these developments.

OPINIONS | CLUBS

CLUBS

FROM PAGE 7

club that provides 5-7 minute stress-relieving backrubs, said, “we have seen a significant decrease in the number of applicants for the Stressbusters free backrub program over the past two years. And, volunteers seem to dwindle more quickly as the school year comes to an end.” However, as was the case with most of the clubs who responded, there is “a small core of very committed volunteers who are fantastic!” For the UA Fish and Wildlife Society, decreasing membership has changed the personality of the club. Its president Sandy Slovikosky said, “I would say club participation and membership has generally declined over the past several years. It is harder to find committed members who are willing to take on leadership positions. Overall, the personality of the club has changed from being spunky and energetic to more laid-back with less interest.” An anonymous member of the Secular Students Alliance, or SSA, pointed to a hard truth about declining membership around campus. The trend reaches to people who would not have left the club otherwise. “Around my freshman and sophomore years, there were regularly 20 or more people at meetings, with a full classroom and taking twenty minutes just to get through the weekly short introductions, but the meetings earlier in the fall this year, the last few I attended, were down to less than 10 members, and these were generally the regulars. It just made me less inclined to take an hour out of my week when it didn’t have the same social aspect it

used to.” Matthew Minor, president of UA’s College Republicans, said participation in the club has increased over this school year. However, regarding dedication to the club, he says, “I believe it is hard for any club to find dedicated members since we as students all have to focus primarily on our education.” This statement may point to one of the deeper problems we are facing. The Essential Report found more than half of Americans are not involved in community clubs because they have no time outside of work and home responsibilities. College students might just be too busy for strong extracurricular involvement. According to HSCB, a banking and financial services company, students daily spend more time working than going to lecture, studying or visiting the library. About 85 percent of college students work, 57 percent out of financial necessity. These numbers are higher than ever. This busyness undoubtedly contributes to students having less time to participate in extracurriculars. However, others think it is a trend in attitudes. The other half of respondents in the Essential Report claimed they just aren’t club joiners. According to John-Paul Flintoff, writer for The Guardian, most of the barriers to joining clubs are in our heads. Economist Robert D. Putnam wrote about declining participation in his 2000 book “Bowling Alone.” He found lower community involvement made collective problems harder to solve, business transactions harder, lowered trust, lowered awareness of mutual connectivity, decreased the flow of information and decreased health and happiness. There are also effects on our democracy. Robert Reich,

Bill Clinton’s former Labor Secretary, said a society not active through organized structures is a vulnerable society. According to the Atlantic, the “countervailing power” to balance corporate fundraising machines and powerful politicians came from the large populace engaged in their communities. Losing this means losing bottom-up power to affect policy. Others still say this is already threatening American communities and making us more divided. These trends across America can be perpetuated or reversed at our university level. According to Reuters Health, those who were most active in school tend to stay engaged as they age. However, declining participation in UA clubs is unmistakable and threatening. I wish I could just ask every student to be involved in one of the more than 600 clubs on campus, but something deeper is affecting us. More research should be done to find out why people aren’t joining or sticking with clubs and organizations and students aren’t taking leadership positions. The problem and the consequences are so much larger than our campus. I will conclude with a quote from Slovikosky. She is optimistic she can combat this trend, and perhaps she is right in that all we need is more dedication. She says, “I also think this can still change. A huge part of it is setting a friendly, welcoming and lively atmosphere at the start of the semester and providing fun opportunities for people, particularly new students, to hang out and bond with other members.” — Toni Marcheva is a junior majoring in philosophy, politics, economics and law.
