Hart to leave UA presidency President Ann Weaver Hart has decided that she will not ask Regents to renew her contract after 2017-2018 academic year
BY CHASTITY LASKEY AND BRENNA BAILEY The Daily Wildcat
UA President Ann Weaver Hart announced she will not be asking the Arizona Board of Regents to renew her contract as president of the UA, via an employee-wide email and a regent’s press release on Friday, June 10.
“I have always believed that women and men of good will can disagree on a number of issues and still work together with vigor for a common purpose. That purpose would be the success of the University of Arizona and everyone who studies and works here,” Hart said in an email interview. Hart’s contract doesn’t end until 2018, leaving the board two years to find a qualified applicant to take
her place. “I have always planned to assure that the UA gets the benefit of a careful and measured presidential succession that does honor to the incredibly talented people who work and lead here,” Hart said. Michael Finnegan, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said Hart has accomplished a lot for the university, and just because she’s
leaving doesn’t mean she’s not going to enact change or fight for students. “When it comes to picking a new president, it will be really cool to see who’s going to be coming next and how a new president can address the issues that have been hot topics in the last few years,” Finnegan said. “We’re just going

Wipeout On April 10, University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center when the motion detector alarm in the pool area activated. An officer saw a man jump over the wall, land on the roof of a UA golf cart and then jump to the ground. A second man followed him, but slipped and landed on his face on the golf cart. He stood up and another man jumped over the wall onto the golf cart as well. The three men, who are not affiliated with the UA and at least one of which was a Tucson High School student, were fully clothed and dry, but without shoes. The three men said they had gone to the UA campus that night to attend Spring Fling then later went to get pizza. When they were getting pizza, they heard people inside the pool and climbed over the pool wall gate to see a different group of men jumping off the diving board into the pool. They saw officers arriving and jumped over the wall where an officer saw them. The three men were cited for trespassing. Darien Bakas/The Daily Wildcat
Arizona Regent Greg Patterson engages in a discussion during the Arizona Board of Regents meeting in Tucson on Thursday, April 7. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled in favor of the Arizona Students’ Association in their lawsuit against the board.
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules on ASA’s lawsuit against ABOR BY Lauren Renteria The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona Students’ Association had a victory in their larger lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents on June 1, when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the organization’s argument that the regents had infringed upon their First Amendment rights.
About the Wildcat
The ruling comes after a lower district court dismissed the ASA’s original complaint against the regents, stating that Arizona’s higher-ed policy makers had immunity from being sued for monetary damages. The higher circuit court, however, disagreed—ruling that the ASA could continue with the lawsuit after the group appealed the lower court’s decision in 2013. The three-year-long court dispute between ASA and the board began in 2012, when the student organization allocated $120,000 of

But, I really have to pee... University of Arizona Police Department officers went to Highland Market on April 10, where a man not affiliated with the UA had urinated. The man had asked the manager to use the restroom, but the manager said he couldn’t because the restrooms were locked. The manager started counting money when he saw the man standing behind a pillar. He then walked to the pillar and saw the man standing there with a large puddle of liquid on the floor. Upon review of the video footage for the night, the man was seen walking around the inside the market, walking around bathroom then standing behind the pillar. His posture in the video indicated that he was urinating behind the pillar. The man was arrested for criminal nuisance and taken to Pima County Jail.

to see how much student involvement we can get in the process—hopefully more than ever before.” Hart said the regents are in control of the selection process, as well as who will be involved and when. The regents expect to conduct their comprehensive nation-wide search for her successor sometime in the fall, according to their Friday press release. “I made clear to them during our private conversations over the past several months that my desire is to take maximum advantage of the opportunity to be thoughtful and measured while planning during the 2017-2018 academic year,” Hart said. “This also will give those doing the search the maximum opportunity to talk to a wide variety of potential candidates.” In early March, Hart accepted a $70,000 position on the DeVry University board, DeVry is a for-profit college that is currently being sued by the Federal Trade Commission for allegedly deceiving consumers about the value of a DeVry degree. Since accepting, Hart has received heavy national backlash that has sparked petitions and protests questioning her commitment to UA. “Service on private boards has been a part of the professional life and expanded knowledge of university presidents’ lives for decades in the U.S.,” Hart said. “This particular board service became controversial in California and then in Arizona, but I had begun planning for this transition months before, so it played no role.” Hart said her plan is to throw herself fully into academia and become more involved in other boards and organizations after she is no longer president. Adding that she has already begun the process by talking to leadership at the UA Center for the Study of Higher Education. “This decision gives me the freedom to focus like a laser and work with the leaders within the
university and the Arizona Board of Regents to complete or substantially complete many wonderful initiatives,” Hart said, referring to her current plans and projects already in motion. Hart added that if she had to be involved in contract extension negotiations she would not have the opportunity to focus or be honest about her own professional aspirations. Hart’s email said she has four key priorities to accomplish: • Complete the major changes encompassed in the Never Settle Academic Plan • Shape a new vision and renewal for the UA honors program • Solidify and strengthen the Academic Affiliation Agreement with Banner Health University Medical Center while maximizing the growth and quality of each of our two medical schools • Complete the Arizona new $1.5 billion fundraising campaign, setting the stage for the success of the new president in advancing philanthropy at the UA. Hart said UA’s future holds a bright prospect of excellence and leadership. As far as the timing of when a new president would start and whether or not Hart will complete her contract, she said that it will depend on what’s best for the institution. “With a carefully planned process and the new president identified, final decisions can be made about the best process that respects the new president’s need to finalize existing commitments, while preparing the most orderly and productive hand-off here at the university,” Hart said.

semester student fee that students were able to opt-out of. Shortly after the group used money received from the student fees to support the failed proposition, the regents changed the way the organization receives funding. At first the regents suspended funding all together, then forced students to opt-in to paying the fee instead of opting-out, which made gathering funds much more difficult for the group. Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, said he has seen the effects of the policy change in the way the three public universities communicate. “Students at the three campuses work together less, and that’s probably not good for students,” Brooks said. “The craziest thing to me about this is the fact that this is a group of students that came together and said that ‘we want more money in the state budget for higher education,’ and the Arizona Board of Regents worked against students, it’s just really bizarre to me that [the board] worked against students to get money for higher education.” Stephen Montoya, attorney for ASA, said that the group has lost out on “hundreds of thousands of dollars,” since the policy change. His hope is that the policy can be reversed and funding can be collected as usual. “They haven’t gotten any money since the lawsuit was filed,” Montoya said. But, the case isn’t just about money.
News • Wednesday, June 15-Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Montoya has argued that the board acted in retaliation to ASA’s actions; he feels that this is a constitutional issue, and on June 1 the U.S. Court of Appeals felt the same way. “The panel held that the Students’ Association adequately alleged that it had engaged in the kinds of core political speech that trigger the First Amendment’s highest levels of protection. ... The panel held that the collection and remittance of funds is a valuable government benefit, and a change in policy undertaken for retaliatory purposes that results in the deprivation of those funds implicates the First Amendment,” said the court in its ruling. The decision allows the once dismissed lawsuit to be taken to court again. There is not a set court date for the coming hearing, but Montoya said that this will give him and ASA the opportunity to prove retaliation from the board. “It was a huge win for us and it’s a win that will reverberate ... throughout public education because it really did make it clear that—if it wasn’t already clear—that the government cannot take away any type of benefit in retaliation for free speech,” Montoya said. A representative from the board did not get back to email requests for comment by press time.

The Dean of Students Office is hosting a symposium next week that will focus on the role higher education plays in encouraging free speech and expression. On Wednesday, June 22, the first ever Constitutional Issues in Higher Education Symposium will tackle issues concerning the First Amendment and college campuses. “First Amendment issue[s] are very interesting and complicated for a college or university where we value free expression and critical discourse, but we really value that engagement,” said Seva Priya Barrier, co-chair of the symposium planning committee and senior associate dean of students. Barrier said the symposium will look at largescale issues such as academic freedom, student dissent, what threatening speech looks like and how speech affects others, in order to inform and educate people about what can and can’t be regulated. The right to have free speech has always been a hot topic for discussion and source of controversy at the UA, which is a campus that sees student engagement and expression often in forms of protests at Old Main, walkouts and preachers on campus. “I think one of the broad complications of free speech is that there are broad protections, but just because we need to ensure a person’s right to speak, doesn’t mean that we’re not cognizant and realize the impact that that speech has on individuals,” Barrier said. While the planning committee was formed earlier this year, the idea for the symposium came from Dean of Students and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, Kendal Washington White in 2010 soon after she started working at the Dean of Students Office in 2009. “When you work in this office you really have to be grounded in the federal laws governing
higher education, so First Amendment, Title IX, FERPA, all these different laws that exist whether federal or Arizona state law, because they play a huge role in how we engage with our students and address different issues on campus,” White said. White said on a day-to-day basis she is on the phone with the Office of the General Counsel, which provides legal council to UA. “We’re pretty much a city within a city and we need legal advice, so we have attorneys who specialize in employment law, higher education and risk management,” White said. Although symposium registration is full, Barrier said those who are interested can email her to get on a wait list and that there are still spots available for the keynote speaker, Erwin Chemerinsky. The symposium and keynote are free for the UA community. White said since it is their inaugural year, they started small to test the waters, but hope to expand the symposium each year. “At the UA we’re always on the cutting edge, we’re always wanting to push the limits and be the best,” White said. “I saw the symposium as a way to provide education and opportunity for students.” Mitchell Turbenson, member of the planning committee and recent graduate of the James E. Rogers College of Law, said his primary role was to get students more engaged and work on programming that people would be interested in. “It’s all become so much more of a pervasive topic with the recent protests over [UA] president Ann Weaver Hart and other issues,” Turbenson said. “Understanding your abilities as a student to protest at the university is important.” Turbenson said as a student you’re growing and learning in this environment and open speech should be the goal for the administration. “It’s important for people at the UA to just have the information and education about what

Downtown Vigil held for Orlando BY Lauren Renteria
The Best of the Bars You’re standing in line at Highland Market and want to grab a snack bar at the checkout before heading to class. Do you go with something chocolately or something fruity and nutty? You want to make the healthiest choice but there’s no time to look at food labels or google “healthiest snack bars,” so you grab the one that looks the tastiest before rushing off. With so many snack bars available, it can be tough trying to figure out which are best, especially if you’re not sure what makes a bar a good snack option in the first place. Many people compare snack bars by looking at how many calories and/or grams of sugar and protein are listed on the food label. Many people think “less sugar + higher protein= healthy!” While that’s not
necessarily a bad way of comparing snack bars, another way is to look at the bar’s list of ingredients. Generally speaking, a healthier bar will contain ingredients that you are familiar with and can pronounce. Ingredients are listed on products in descending order. This means that the first ingredients listed are most prevalent in the product. Your best bet is to choose a bar with either a whole grain (oats, brown rice, bran, millet, etc.) or source of protein (soy, nuts, seeds, etc.) listed as one of the first few ingredients, and sugar (or words for sugar like syrup, honey, fructose, maltodextrin, sucrose) farther down the list. Because it can be time consuming comparing food labels, we’ve done the work for you! Here’s our list of some healthy bars you can find on campus:

In the wake of the deadliest modern mass shooting in U.S. history, one of Tucson’s most prominent LGBTQ bars held a candlelight vigil in the downtown area in conjunction with the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation to honor those who were lost, wounded and their families. Early Sunday, June 12, gunman Omar Mateen opened fire in a gay night club in Orlando, Florida as patrons celebrated the club’s Latin night theme. The perpetrator carried in an assault-type weapon and a handgun killing 49 and wounding 53 others, according to reports from CNN. After a three hour long hostage situation, SWAT team officers broke into the club with an armored vehicle, eventually gunning down Mateen. The attacker is known to be a U.S.-born citizen who has been investigated by the FBI in 2013 and 2014 for possible terror links, but no charges were filed. After undergoing questioning from FBI, Mateen was able to legally purchase at least two firearms, according to the Los Angeles Times On the evening of Sunday, June 12, hundreds of Tucson locals gathered outside of IBT’s to remember the victims of the attack that happened earlier that day. As the evening grew darker, the crowd began to swell with vigilgoers flowing onto Fourth Avenue. The vigil prompted support from members of the LGBTQ community, straight allies as well as Tucson religious communities. Rev. Matthew Funke Crary, a Unitarian, was just one of the many religious leaders who came to speak out against gun violence. “I’m here to express my grief and to stand with the families, both in Orlando and all across the United States,” Funke Crary said. “[The vigil] reminds me of how Tucson has been through this is a similar way, with Gabrielle Giffords and the shooting—how Tucson comes together.” For others in attendance, the tragedy hit very close to home—Daniel Hernandez, the former governing board president of the Sunnyside Unified School District and current candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives has been through this kind of violence before. Hernandez was an intern for the former Arizona Representative the day of her assassination attempt. “As a survivor of the shooting that happened

in 2011 and as an open LGBT elected official, this really hits close to home,” Hernandez said. “For me ... it’s a real wake up call—that we cannot keep letting elected officials make bad choices and we really need to have these conversations now, because if now is not the time, then there will never be a right time.” Arizona congressional candidate Victoria Steele also believes that this tragedy should help jettison talk about possible gun reform, however she also thinks that this is a time to recognize the discrimination that members of the LGBTQ community still face. “People that I love are hurting and it breaks my heart to see what happened and what continues to happen,” Steele said. “We may be allowed to have gay marriage, you can still get married today to your same-sex partner and tomorrow, but you can lose you house, get evicted, you can lose your job, just because of who you love. That has to change.” After the crowd made its way to the parking lot adjacent to Creative Ventures on Fourth Avenue, speakers from varying platforms took the stage to express their condolences to the victims’ families. Speakers at the vigil also encouraged the crowd to express love towards the Muslim community. Executive Director of the Tucson Interfaith HIV/AIDS Network, Scott Blades called for an understanding about the Muslim community as he addressed the crowd. “We must remember, ISIS is not a religion,” Blades said. While most of the ceremony was centered around the remembrance of the victims and those wounded in the attack, the event was not without a handful of anti-police activists. One young woman jumped on stage and demanded to address the crowd as soon as Tucson Chief of Police Chris Magnus was introduced on stage. The woman on stage was wearing a shirt that read: “Queers hate cops” and was accompanied by shouts from other anti-police protesters that were in the crowd during the vigil. With the woman still on stage, Magnus began addressing the crowd. Soon, other officers escorted the woman off the stage and pulled other members of the group from the crowd. Magnus spoke out against all violence, especially that which targets individuals for sexual orientation. — Follow Lauren Renteria @lauren_renteria speech with other speech, disempower speech by not paying attention or stage their own protest to simply say what they want to as well. “I think once you know the rules and regulation around speech it can be very empowering for individuals and students,” Barrier said. — Follow Chastity Laskey @chastitylaskey

Summer students need to eat, too BY SCOTT FELIX
The Daily Wildcat
I
f you’re looking for a place to grab a snack or get office supplies on the UA campus this summer, you’ll find yourself working a little bit harder to find an open shop. The UA Dining Services has closed up many UA-ran shops and shortened the hours of the ones that are still open. From the university standpoint, the decision makes sense due to the reduced campus population during the summer, but it does make life as a summer student just a little bit more difficult. In many areas of campus, the dining services should keep a few more shops open. Certain parts of the campus still have a lot of foot traffic through them. A good example would be the Park Avenue Market which will be closed down all summer, according to the
Arizona Student Union’s online dining guide. Many of the restaurants open on campus currently are the ones inside or near the Student Union Memorial Center. For the UA staff and students working or studying farther from the student union, it can be a bit of a trek to take advantage of those shops and restaurants. With every shop at the PSU closed for the summer, the UA is missing out on the chance to provide good dining and shopping services across the entire campus. The PSU is in an area near four residence halls and a street away from the East University Boulevard bar scene. Summer students and Tucson natives use the volleyball courts and grass-covered courtyards outside the PSU building to take time off from studies and get exercise all throughout the summer. From my perspective, it would make sense business-wise to keep the Park Avenue Market open for limited hours through the summer. With the Highland Market and the Park Avenue Market open, students would have
opportunities to shop at UA convenience stores across a much greater area of the campus than is currently available. No offense to the Dunkin’ Donuts/BaskinRobins shop on University, but I’d rather purchase my morning cup of coffee or yerba mate through the UA shops I love. The great part about shopping on the UA campus is supporting the UA and the student employees that work at many of these shops. There is a strong sense of community that comes from the experience of shopping with your fellow Wildcats. The feeling disappears a little when you need to buy your Gatorade from the CVS Pharmacy instead of the Park Avenue Market. It may sound a bit whiny, but I see no reason why being on UA campus during the summer can’t be as convenient as it is during the regular school year session. The UA should try to provide as close to the same services as possible during the summer session. The campus has done a good job of striving for that with many important parts of the campus environment staying in business.

The problem with private healthcare BY JACKSON MORRISON The Daily Wildcat
T
he worst problems of the American health care industry will never be addressed until health care stops being a private commodity and becomes a public good. We continually hear rhetoric about how health care is far too expensive in America, not enough Americans have access to health care and pharmaceutical companies have far too much influence in the type of health care a patient in need will receive. Many Americans believe that the American health care system is broken to the point of tragedy. The U.S. pays a total of $650 billion, according to Diana Farrell of McKinsey and Company Management Consulting. This
is more than reasonable, given our level of wealth and development. Roughly twothirds of the $650 billion goes to outpatient care, while the remaining third of the money is spent on pharmaceutical and administration costs. Unfortunately, these costs do not result in a real improvement in health care. The U.S. is ranked 26 out of 34 in the OECD countries for life expectancy ranking, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It’s clear that our health care system is broken and the reason why is simple— corporate profits seem to be more important than the financial security of patients. Within a developed nation, there is no reason why one person is allowed to die while another is given medicine to live simply because one makes more money than the other. There are some services that are necessary to empower the very concept of human dignity. There is no debate over the right to access

clean water, or the right to eat, or the right to breath. All of these are viewed as rights that one should have by virtue of being human, and the justifications for keeping those public goods cheap and easily accessible are self-evident. Yet the right to be seen by a health care professional when you need it the most is not. The right to be viewed as more than just a commodity, beholden to increasing the wealth of the already superwealthy, is regularly challenged in the United States. The issue of providing health care to all who need it, not just those who can afford it, is well beyond the scope of an economic issue. This is a humanitarian issue and we need to restore human dignity to those who have been denied it. Affordable healthcare is an especially relevant issue to the community of Tucson. Banner Health University Medical Center, the largest private health care company in Arizona, purchased the University Medical Center in June 2015. Within the pages of
the deal, they promised to provide over $1 billion in benefits to the UA, ranging from paying off old debts, to providing funding for academic medical research and a promise of $500 million in new capital. The benefits in the deal proved to be great enough for the Arizona Board of Regents to sign the deal. I do no mean to belittle the Banner Health organization. They have done amazing work as a nonprofit and seem to be legitimately interested in helping the Arizona community receive professional health care, but institutionally their business model is a problem. As long as private ownership of hospitals and other means of health care exists, there will be those who look to make a profit off of it, and therefore some who are denied access or affordability.

UA needs more support for interdisciplinary studies BY Talya Jaffe
The Daily Wildcat
T
here is no superior reason to go to college, but many students go out of a desire to expand their minds and learn about the world outside the bubble they grew up in. Interdisciplinary study is a crucial step in allowing students to do just this. For the majority of students — I hope — at least one of their main college goals is to become educated. Being educated means knowing at least a little bit about a lot of stuff. Being extremely knowledgeable in a very specific subject is no easy feat, and should not be looked down upon, but the whole world is not comprised of one subject and being well-rounded can only have a positive effect on your life. The rigidity of UA not allowing nonmajors into certain courses—without
having to jump through a myriad of timeconsuming hoops—is a practice that’s not in the best interest of students. We are here to learn, we are here to be educated, we are here to explore our interests and possibilities. When you’re locked out of classes simply because they aren’t in your major or focus area, it’s counterproductive to the university’s duty to provide Arizona with a fresh batch of intelligent, well-rounded and capable citizens. If I were a computer science major, there is no way I could justify that a theater course would be relevant to my major. But perhaps theater is a passion. Or maybe I know nothing about the world of theater and I want the chance to get into it and learn about it. Unfortunately, gaining entry into an upper-division theater course as an upperclassmen computer science major is difficult and infeasible. The pressure is immense for people between the ages of 18 and 22 to decide what they are going to do with the rest of their lives. Many of us can barely decide where to eat lunch — there is no way all of us
are capable of picking a very specific subject area and sticking to it for the rest of our lives. If we do not take a few courses that are outside of our specific areas of study, we are closing ourselves off not only from being well-educated members of society, but also by limiting our options for a future career switch. Students seem to feel trapped in their major. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard a comment such as, “Oh yeah, I think architecture is so interesting, but I can’t take a class on it because I’m a creative writing major.” Don’t limit your students, UA. Make being well-rounded a better option, and create enough sections of each course to allow non-major students to take courses in subject areas besides their own. College ought to set students free to explore not one, but multiple interests. UA often makes double-majoring and/ or partaking in interdisciplinary studies unnecessarily difficult. As a double major student in neuroscience and philosophy, I am often asked how those two areas could possibly be related. In reality, they could not
be more related. The cognitive science track in the neuroscience program includes many studies of the philosophy of mind, while the ethics track in the philosophy degree is highly intertwined with the medical ethics that must be studied to become a respected neuroscientist. It is difficult to double dip, coordinate courses and earn both degrees in the most efficient way possible. If interdisciplinary studies were more publicized, less difficult to take part in and had greater support from multiple departments across the UA, a new door would be opened for a plethora of students looking to broaden their horizons by delving into a multiplicity of studies. As of now, that door is cracked open an inch or two, but with increased cooperation between all the different departments, the door could easily be pushed wide-open and increase the quality and value of education UA students are receiving.

Nestlé has recently proposed building a bottled water plant in Phoenix. This proposal has raised concerns throughout the Arizona community about whether constructing a water plant in a drought is a good idea.
A bottled water plant in the desert? Plans for a Nestlé bottled water plant in Phoenix have residents upset amid a 20-year drought that has plagued the Southwest
BY Natalie RObbins The Daily Wildcat
Many Arizona natives may not remember a time in which Arizona was not experiencing a drought. Since the mid 1990s, the Arizona Department of Water Resources has reported that Arizona has been experiencing a long-term drought. However, a recent proposal by Nestlé to create a bottled water plant in Phoenix has many Arizonans confused, considering the possibilities of future water shortages around Arizona.
Phoenix currently receives most of its water from the Central Arizona Project, the Salt River project and groundwater supplies. Some of the water they receive from these sources is pumped down into the earth to recharge the groundwater supply. If all goes to plan, the plant will consume roughly 35 million gallons of water from the Phoenix supply, according to the Arizona Republic. That’s a about 264 million half-liter bottles. In the grand scheme of Arizona water usage, though, 35 million gallons is not a large amount. “Collaborative estimates place
the actual water used in Arizona at between 7.25 million and 7.75 million acre-feet annually,” said Kathy Jacobs, the director for the UA Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions. “That’s about 2.4–2.5 trillion gallons a year.” Since the CAP is fed by the Colorado River, issues with water shortages in the future along the river have been a concern for cities that rely on Colorado River water. “Given the current conversations about future shortages on the Colorado River, all Arizona cities should be
working to maximize the amount of water available that is stored underground for the long term,” Jacobs said. “But every city in the state has a different water supply portfolio, and Phoenix is in good shape compared to many others.” Economically, the proposed bottling plant would bring 40-50 jobs to the area, according to the Arizona Republic. “We should continue to bank it to make sure we have enough for decades to come and encourage people to conserve,” said Bret Fanshaw, solar program coordinator for Environment America. “I would hate for us to
look back 50 years from now and think about what we could have done with the water besides give it to Nestlé.” Nestlé has tried to build bottling plants in other states, most notably Oregon. A proposed plant in Hood River County, Oregon was recently shot down by voters, according to the Republic. “Many would argue that it is not a good image for Phoenix to be serving a new bottling plant that has been controversial in other states,” Jacobs said.

Professor Galina Khitrova, 57, passed away June 4. Khitrova worked with the UA since 1986 and made major contributions to quantum electrodynamics as a pioneer in the field BY Varuska Patni The Daily Wildcat
Optical sciences professor Galina Khitrova passed away June 4 in her Tucson home due to chronic health issues. She is known for being a brave experimentalist and for her unique partnerships. Following obtaining her Ph.D. in physics from New York University, Khitrova came to the UA Optical Sciences Center as an assistant research scientist in 1986. Khitrova is internationally known for her significant contributions in semiconductor optics, nonlinear optics of quantum wells and dots and cavity quantum and electrodynamics. One of her most profound contributions includes her 2004 paper published in Nature titled “Vacuum Rabi splitting with a single quantum dot in a photonic crystal nanocavity,” for which she received 1,259 citations.

THE ARIZONA BASEBALL TEAM celebrates on the field immediately after freshman catcher Cesar Salazar’s game-winning RBI single in the 11th inning secured Arizona’s Super Regional victory over Mississippi State, as well as a berth in the upcoming College World Series. Arizona’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament—and the CWS—came in 2012, when the Wildcats won the program’s fourth national championship.
Arizona swept Mississippi State on the road in Super Regionals, earning a trip to the College GAME ONE: World Series for the first time since the program won the National Championship in 2012 Arizona vs. Miami BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
The Wildcats are heading to the College World Series for the first time since winning the National Championship in 2012. After winning the first game of a best-of-three Super Regional series against Mississippi State on Friday, the Arizona baseball team needed
just one more win to earn a trip to Omaha, Nebraska—and it got that win on Saturday in walk-off fashion. With the bases loaded and two outs in the 11th inning, Arizona catcher Cesar Salazar singled to right, scoring the game-winning run to cap off a 6-5 comeback victory. “I try to pride myself on knowing what to say,” Arizona head coach Jay Johnson said. “But right now I’m just
speechless.” The Wildcats were trailing the Bulldogs 5-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Ryan Aguilar belted a three-run homer to right field to cut Arizona’s deficit to 5-4. The blast put Arizona within striking distance and gave the team an edge it needed in the late-innings. “I think that after I hit that everyone believed more than ever we could
win that game,” Aguilar said. “It just gave us that extra boost of confidence we needed to pull it out.” After Aguilar emptied the bases, the Wildcats were able to get two more runners on base in the inning, eventually putting the tying run on second base with nobody out. However, three Wildcat batters

struck out in a row, keeping the one-run deficit intact heading into the ninth inning. Arizona left-hander Rio Gomez prevented MSU from adding to its lead, pitching a perfect ninth inning, and Arizona second baseman Cody Ramer started the bottom of the ninth with a double to left-center field. Two batters later, Alfonso Rivas reached for a pitch off the plate and hit a flare to shallow left-center field. The ball landed on the outfield grass, scoring Ramer from second and knotting the game at 5-5. Later in the inning, the Wildcats loaded the bases with one out for Bobby Dalbec. Dalbec threw a gem on the mound in game one, but would not be the hero this time as he’d go down on strikes for the second out. With the bases still loaded, it was now up to Salazar to bring home the winning run, but failed to do so. He grounded out to end the frame, sending the game into extra innings. But the freshman would get a chance to redeem himself in the 11th inning in an identical spot—bases loaded with two outs— and this time he’d come through, slapping a slider from MSU’s Blake Smith through the right side of the infield, scoring the winning run and punching Arizona’s ticket to Omaha. “I wasn’t trying to think about my last atbat,” Salazar said. “I was trying to see a ball that I could hit hard through the infield. I knew he was throwing a lot of sliders ... I got my pitch and executed.” Initially, it looked like Arizona would have to try again on Sunday to get its second win of the series. Nathan Bannister started on the mound for the Wildcats and fell behind early, giving up an RBI single to Brent Rooker in the top of the second inning. Dalbec hit a moonshot solo homer to left to quickly tie things up at 1-1 in the bottom of the frame, but the tie didn’t hold for very long. Gavin Collins hit a sac fly in the third inning to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead, and then Rooker homered in the fourth inning to put MSU up 3-1. The Bulldogs didn’t stop there—they tacked on an unearned run against Bannister in the seventh, making it a 4-1 MSU lead and Bannister’s night was done. He pitched six innings, and allowed five hits, four runs (one unearned), while striking out five. Then Rooker, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, homered again in the eighth off Cody Deason, giving MSU a late 5-1 lead. But the Bulldogs, the champions of the stacked Southeastern Conference, couldn’t withstand Arizona’s late surge and the Wildcats, a team that was picked to finish ninth in the Pac-12 Conference, will be the ones heading to the College World Series. “I am so proud of these guys,” Johnson said. “I thought I knew what toughness was, competitiveness, heart. And then I met them. Greatest moment of my life.”

ARIZONA BASEBALL HEAD COACH Jay Johnson waves to the crowd upon his arrival back to Tucson after winning the NCAA Super Regionals in Starkville, Mississippi. The firstyear coach has led the Wildcats to a spot in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
UA baseball quiets doubters The Wildcats, who were selected to finish ninth in the Pac-12 Conference before the season started, are one of just eight teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament BY Ivan lEOnard The Daily Wildcat
In just his first season at Arizona, head coach Jay Johnson has the Wildcats headed to Omaha, Nebraska for the program’s 17th College World Series appearance. Despite being routinely looked over in the preseason, the Wildcats find themselves a few wins away from playing for a National Championship. Many publications had Arizona picked near the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference and D1baseball.com left them off of its preseason field of 64 altogether. But here the Wildcats are—winning the Lafayette Regional and sweeping the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the Super Regionals in front of over 13,000 intense Bulldog fans. “To me the story is Nathan Bannister, Ryan Aguilar, Cody Ramer, Zach Gibbons, Justin Behnke, all these guys that people had given up on,” Johnson said. Despite the outside perception of his team, Johnson believed in his talent and it has paid off in a big way. “I had a person from pro baseball tell me that Cody Ramer was not a division
one baseball player, that Ryan Aguilar should be cut and that Zach Gibbons was a fourth outfielder at best,” Johnson said. Each of those players have earned spots on the All-Pac-12 team this season and have been indispensable for Arizona this year. Despite trailing for most of game two in the Super Regional, Arizona never gave in and kept fighting until the final pitch. After the Bulldogs were up 5-1 in the eighth inning, things looked bleak for Arizona but it remained focused, and eventually came back to win with 6-5. It was all started by a three-run homer by Ryan Aguilar in the eighth inning to bring Arizona within a run. “Right when [Aguilar] hit his three-run home run, we knew that we were going to win that game,” said Cody Ramer, who plays infield for the Wildcats. “That just was a dagger in the heart to them.” The Wildcats scored a run in the ninth to tie it and then eventually won the game in 11 innings to punch their ticket to Omaha. While reaching the College World Series was surprising to some, it’s exactly what freshman catcher Cesar Salazar told
Johnson would happen before the fall semester started. “He came in my office before school started and shut the door and he goes, ‘Coach, I am going to get you to the College World Series’,” Johnson said. To back up his promise, Salazar was the one to deliver a walk-off hit in the bottom of the 11th. “I tried to look for my pitch, I got my pitch and I made sure I wasn’t going to miss it,” Salazar said. Now the Wildcats, who many thought wouldn’t be playing at this time of year, will shift their focus to the Miami Hurricanes—their first opponent in a double-elimination round-robin style series this weekend. The Hurricanes boast the nation’s best winning percentage, and are deemed the favorites to advance, so the Wildcats will have to defy expectations yet again if their season is going to continue.

Basketball community mourns loss of Sean Rooks BY JUSTIN SPEARS
The Daily Wildcat
COURTESY OF ARIZONA ATHLETICS
Dealing with a death is a tragic and emotional state, especially when an inspirational figure dies at a younger age than expected. Former NBA player, assistant coach and UA alum Sean Rooks died Tuesday evening in a Philadelphia restaurant just hours after meeting with the New York Knicks for an assistant coaching job. The cause of Rooks’ death is officially undetermined, but USA Today reported that he likely died from heart disease. Rooks, 46, played four years of college basketball at the UA before spending 12 years in the NBA. He was also a teacher of the game—coaching for nearly a decade after his playing career ended. Rooks’ death shouldn’t be remembered by how sudden the end came, but the impact he left on the basketball world. Rooks was originally from New York, but attended high school in Fontana, California and took his talents to Arizona in 1988 to play under Hall of Fame head coach Lute Olson. Playing four years under Olson in Tucson, Rooks bloomed into a true post presence, averaging 16.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game his senior year—good enough to earn All-Pac-10 Honors. Rooks stood at 6-foot-10 with a 250 pound frame, which is why he earned the nickname “Wookie”. He was the kind of player where he would put someone on a poster and do it with a smile on his face, because he just loved to play the game of basketball. It was his combination of positivity
and production on the court that molded Rooks into a player that everyone wanted to be around. “Sean was such a wonderful young man with a great disposition,” Olson said in a statement released by the UA. “During his time at Arizona, he was always one of the most pleasant individuals to be around.” Rooks continued his dominance at the professional level after he was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks at No. 30 overall in the 1992 NBA Draft. He’d spend two seasons with the Mavericks, and then landed a spot on the up-andcoming Los Angeles Lakers in 1996, serving as a reserve for star center Shaquille O’Neal. But while Rooks and the Lakers were pursuing an NBA championship, he was also focused on making an impact in the community—especially with those linked to the UA. Rooks made his impact through the game he loved most — basketball. Former Wildcat Corey Williams, who spoke to KAMP Student Radio Wednesday to talk about Rooks, witnessed his love for the game firsthand. Williams recalled a time when Rooks, despite being an NBA player, would show up to pick-up games in midtown Los Angeles. Williams frequented the pick-up games himself and usually dominated the action, but that changed when Rooks showed up. “I asked him what he was doing here and he said, ‘Oh I come down here and play all the time’,” Williams said. “This was the middle of the season and he was with the Lakers and he was coming
to play pickup ball whenever he wanted to.” But to those that know Rooks, it wasn’t a surprise. Williams said Rooks always kept a pair of basketball shoes in the trunk of his car and whenever there was basketball being played—no matter who was playing or where the game was taking place—he laced up his sneakers to play. “If there was a basketball bouncing, he was playing,” Williams said. “That’s just the kind of guy he was.” Even when Rooks’ playing career ended in 2004, he took to coaching so he could stay around the game and transfer his passion to younger players. He served as an assistant coach in the NBA Development League for nine years before becoming an assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014. Rooks, being the basketball junkie he was, thrived as a coach. “Sean was with me for two years and helped our young players and coaching staff by sharing his experiences in such an endearing way,” said Sixers head coach Brett Brown in a statement. Rooks never made superstar money and won’t be a Hall of Famer, but the contributions he made to the game and the passion he had for it are why he won’t be missed in just the Old Pueblo, where he starred as a college player, but in the basketball community as a whole. “He meant so much to so many people,” Brown said. “We are all deeply saddened by his loss ... He will be missed.” — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
Six Wildcats selected in 2016 MLB Draft BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
Six UA baseball players were selected in the 2016 MLB Draft this week, with junior third baseman Bobby Dalbec as the first Wildcat off the board, being picked by the Boston Red Sox in the fourth round at 118th overall. “It’s pretty cool,” Dalbec said after Arizona’s win over Mississippi State University on Friday. “I got to play out there for two summers, and got to do those workouts in Fenway [Park]. It’s people’s dreams to play in Fenway, so this is obviously a step closer to that.” Dalbec, selected as a positional player, pitched 8.2 shutout innings for the Wildcats on the same day he was drafted, helping the team advance to the College World Series.
Dalbec only needed one word to describe the eventful day. “A whirlwind,” he said. Dalbec, who is among the team leaders in several offensive categories, has seven home runs this season, along with 39 RBI and a .270 batting average. On the mound, he has compiled a 2.92 ERA in 80 innings of work. Joining Dalbec as draftees were senior outfielder Zach Gibbons, senior second baseman Cody Ramer, junior left-hander Kevin Ginkel, senior right-hander Nathan Bannister, and senior first baseman Ryan Aguilar. Gibbons and Ramer were selected in the 17th round and 19th round by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, respectively. Meanwhile, Ginkel was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 22nd round, Bannister was chosen by the Seattle
Mariners in the 28th round and Aguilar was chosen by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 31st round. Eight signed Arizona recruits were also selected in the draft, as well as Arizona football wide receiver Trey Griffey, who was selected in the 24th round by the Mariners. Griffey, the son of Hall of Fame outfielder and former Mariner Ken Griffey Jr., was an honorary selection and will not be pursuing a career in baseball. The newly-selected Wildcats will return to action on Saturday when they face the Miami Hurricanes in Omaha, Nebraska as part of the College World Series. First pitch is at 5 p.m. and the game will be aired on ESPN2.

Summer days speed up at the Student Union BY Victoria Hudson The Daily Wildcat
The UA—more than just a learning environment, it’s filled with cool places for fellow Wildcats to make a buck. The Student Union Memorial Center serves as a popular place to work on campus, a busy and lively spot throughout the school year. Many students here at the UA work at the student union. Employment at the student union offers an easy way to maintain a job due to the union’s location directly on campus. Inside its doors exists a multitude of businesses to find a job, including Starbucks , On Deck Deli and Cactus Grill. A typical summer day for a SUMC employee tends to be slow and for the most part boring. During the summer, the campus has the feel of a ghost town with the exception of freshman orientation days. Due to the lack of customers, student union employees have more time to deep clean their work areas and get to know their fellow co-workers better. Isabellyana Dominguez, a

physiology junior, has worked in the student union for two years at On Deck Deli. On a typical summer day, Dominguez said she cleans a lot and talks to her coworkers during any downtime. “I start cleaning like a maniac,
but when you’re done cleaning, that’s when [time] is dragging and that’s when it becomes annoying, Domiguez said. “You have more time to do things that you usually don’t in the year.” Dominguez said that freshman
orientation days are the only busy days during the summer. “It’s endless, that’s how I put it. Three hours go by and you are still going at it. We have to prepare mentally [for the long lines],” she said. Dominguez, a student lead, feels that during the summer her responsibility decreases due to her manager constantly supervising at On Deck Deli. Managers appear out on floor less during the school year. “Now, in the summer, it’s like you’re not a lead at all, because your manager is always there. It’s like you’re kind of a lead but you’re not,” Dominguez said. “Everyone is learning and doing the same thing because we have so much time. At this point, everyone is doing what they can do to, to past time and make time go faster, it’s very different.” Jordon Aguilar, a neuroscience senior, has worked in the student union for three years at the Starbucks in the UA Bookstore and can confirm the orientation fervor. Starbucks, like the rest of the student union, feels painfully slow during the summer
but extremely busy on orientation days, according to Aguilar, . “Orientation day is busy all day, I worked all day and made a good amount of money. When I was on register I loved it. You meet someone new every day, especially in the summer, it’s a different experience every time,” Aguilar said. “You get to know a little bit about who is coming here and if possible you get to make their day even better. On slow days, I cleaned and watched YouTube videos.” Student union employees will continue to clean like maniacs for the remainder of the summer and work hard on those hectic orientation days. Even on slow summer days, student union employees always strive to provide great customer service.

Take advantage of Netflix’s June releases BY Alec Kuehnle The Daily Wildcat
Jobs, classes, internships, hiding from the scorching heat—all things that add unwanted stress during summer breaks. The summer months can sometimes become as stressful as the school year and students must always find a way to unwind—what better way than with some good old fashioned Netflix and chilling? The streaming giant continues to release all sorts of new and interesting content each month. Critically acclaimed Netflix originals as well as this years best picture winner come into the lineup this month. In between doing those not-so-fun summer activities, check out the best new content on Netflix. Anyone eagerly awaiting the upcoming sequel to “Jurassic World” will get to satisfy their prehistoric appetite because the first three “Jurassic Park” films hit Netflix at the beginning of this month. That’s right, “Jurassic Park,” “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” and “Jurassic Park III” are now all streaming on Netflix . Of course, the original still remains—and probably always will— the best of the series, but don’t dismiss the sequels so easily. Throw yourself a dinosaur party and check out the timeless trilogy on Netflix this month. Comedian Bo Burnham’s new special “Make Happy” hit Netflix June 3. Burnham

began his career by gaining a large following on Youtube and Vine, and now he releases stand-up specials on Netflix. Burnham’s natural comedic talent and his willingness to talk about intellectual subjects not always represented in stand-up comedy make him a favorite among fans. Burnham fills his specials with hilarious songs and will have you quoting him for days after watching. June 17 will bring the most highly anticipated new release of the month. Netflix has become known for its original content within the past few years, and one of the site’s most popular original series’ will soon
return. Fan-favorite “Orange Is The New Black” is back for its fourth season. The show takes a look at life inside a women’s prison and also explores relevant topics such as transsexuality. The show has amassed much critical acclaim as well as a devoted fan base during its first three seasons. And don’t worry, binge-watching the new season is a completely acceptable reason to call in sick to work on June 17. It’s not every day that Netflix gets oscar winning films, but on June 22 best picture winner “Spotlight” becomes available— the most recent film to win the prestigious award. “Spotlight” tells the story of a team of journalists as they investigate allegations of sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church. The film has a riveting ensemble cast that includes Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton and Rachel McAdams, to name a few. Paul Rudd fans also have something to look forward to this month when the Netflix original film “The Fundamentals of Caring” starts streaming June 24 . The film stars Rudd, Craig Roberts and Selena Gomez and tells the story of a disabled boy and his caregiver as they suddenly decide to embark on a road trip. It seems to have all the ingredients necessary for a perfect indie film, including this years’ most unlikely costars—Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez. That just about does it for June. Enjoy the new additions on Netflix, but also make sure

A Musical Oasis: The Santa Cruz Summer Winds BY Kincaid Rabb
The Daily Wildcat
Even in the blisteringly hot summer, Tucson is a vibrant place for art and music. One such opportunity to enjoy music in Tucson is the Santa Cruz Summer Winds, founded and directed by April Brennan, a local bassoonist with big ideas and the attitude to make them happen. The Daily Wildcat had an opportunity to sit down with Brennan and discuss the current season for the Santa Cruz Summer Winds. Daily Wildcat: How would you describe the role of SCSW in Tucson? April Brennan: The role of the Santa Cruz Summer Winds is to provide an opportunity for musicians, amateur and professional alike, to come together and maintain their performance skills in Tucson over the summer. The group attracts members from all walks of life to play engaging, fun and challenging music. DW: What year did the SCSW start? AB: The Santa Cruz Summer Winds was founded in 2013 . DW: How has the SCSW grown since 2013? AB: Well, our first year we only had one concert, and we had virtually no resources (we borrowed music and equipment for other groups in town). This year, in 2016, we have expanded to becoming a nonprofit known as the Santa Cruz Music Groups of Southern Arizona, which includes the Santa Cruz Summer Winds, the Santa Cruz Jazz Collective, and the Santa Cruz Chamber Ensembles. DW: How far into your season are you and what do you have planned for the rest of the summer? AB: We’re about halfway through our season this year. We have a concert on June 18th, which will include Johan de Meij’s “Gandalf” from his “Symphony No. 1 The Lord of the Rings”, Gunther Schuller’s “Tribute to Rudy Wiedoeft” and Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures
at an Exhibition” . We have another concert on July 2, which will feature patriotic music, as it is so close to Independence Day. On July 4, we’ve been invited to perform for the town of Marana, Arizona at their Star Spangled Spectacular, which is huge opportunity for us, as it’ll be a gigantic audience. In July, the Santa Cruz Summer Winds is going on tour to southern California. We’ll be opening for the Huntington Beach Concert Band, as wells as seeing the sights and visiting Disneyland. DW: How do you choose music for SCSW and what kind of audience do you try to appeal to? AB: Well, we choose music for ourselves first, and then based on marketability for the summer. A lot of our audience is an older generation, so we play wind ensemble standards and a ton of patriotic music. A lot of our music is for an audience with a a more mature age and nature. I listen to a lot of music in my spare time, and I’m inspired by music made by the Wind Ensemble at the Fred Fox School of Music, the Army Band and the Eastman Wind Ensemble. If there’s a piece my directors and I think would be a good fit, we include it in our programs. DW: Where do you perform? AB: The Santa Cruz Summer Winds performs at the Community Performing Arts Center down in Green Valley, Arizona . DW: How can readers get involved with the Santa Cruz Summer Winds? AB: Rehearsals take place from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in room 170 at the Fred Fox School of Music. If readers are interested in getting involved with the group, they should contact me at manager@scswinds.net.
We receive a lot of questions about female orgasms from our readers. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions and their answers. What is a clitoris and where can I find one?
How long does it take for women to orgasm?
Also known to many as the “joy button,” the clitoris is a part of the female genitalia and is usually the pleasure center for most women. It is located just under the upper vaginal lips and is about the size of a pea. It has around 8,000 sensory nerve endings which is double the amount compared to the penis! Stimulating the clitoris has been proven to be the most likely way for women to orgasm. The type of satisfying stimulation (pressure, motion, speed, etc.) varies from person to person.
It depends. On average through masturbation, women can reach orgasm in less than four minutes. Reaching orgasm during foreplay and vaginal intercourse is another story. On average it may take 10-20 minutes to reach orgasm, or it may not happen at all. For college-aged women, estimates show that 40-60% do not typically reach orgasm during sex. How long it takes also depends on how and what is being stimulated. To find out what arouses your partner, all you have to do is ask!
Is the G-spot real? Where is it?
Any tips for getting women to orgasm?
The existence of a G-spot has been debated among both researchers and women alike. The G-spot is believed to be a very sensitive area behind the front wall of the vagina. For some women, stimulating this area may lead to orgasm, for others it will not.
Communication, patience, foreplay, and practice. Ask her what feels good, have her show you, and do it! Keep in mind women may have different erogenous zones, but the most common way women achieve orgasm is through clitoral stimulation.

Tucson’s Warehouse Arts District This low-key district just south of downtown has attracted dozens of local artists and works to fend off gentrification
BY Sean Orth
The Daily Wildcat
Tucked between the Southern Pacific Railroad and Sixth Street sits a collection of old warehouse buildings speckled with creative signs and street art. The area, called the Warehouse Arts District, is Tucson’s only designated arts district. Santa Theresa Tile Works, one of the district’s many studios, is hidden in the back of one of the warehouses off of Sixth Avenue. The small entrance opens up into a storefront and leads into a vast open space in the back. Several artists work on their own ceramic tile art while studio owner Susan Gamble helps a customer choose the right tile-making products. “I have a different style of doing things—non-artists can come in and create a piece of art on their own,” Gamble said. “I want to give them access to the arts world—an experience, the process of creating something.” Gamble started working as an artist in Tucson 30 years ago in a dilapidated adobe building—it had holes in the ground, but it was “affordable.” She decided to move her studio to the Warehouse Arts District back in 1998.

The Tucson Murals Project commissioned eight murals with a $50,000 grant from the Tohono O’odham tribe to cover up graffiti in the Tucson Warehouse Arts District. This mural is done by artist Rock Cyfi Martinez on the Tucson Warehouse and Transfer Co. building downtown.
Since moving to the district, Gamble has worked to foster a sense of community among local

artists and patrons. She said the area’s affordable rent allowed her to live and work comfortably as an artist. Arts districts around the country function to offer artists affordable access to facilities where they can create and sell their works. The problem that eventually arises in many of these artistic enclaves is a debated issue of the ages— gentrification, a process where wealthier people move into and develop poorer areas, which simultaneously drives up property prices and displaces the area’s poor residents. Similar to Tucson, downtown Phoenix’s arts community has flourished in recent years, largely thanks to downtown cultural hub, Roosevelt Row—nicknamed RoRo by locals. The area’s arts district, like the Warehouse Arts District, has also begun its battle with gentrification. Many historic buildings in the
area are not protected from demolition, and high-income housing has inched its way into the neighborhood. Roosevelt Row gallery owner Wayne Rainey told the Arizona Republic that “artists are almost universally pushed out of arts districts due to gentrification,” and that this isn’t a new concept. Gamble said that while gentrification is more prevalent in larger artistic communities like Brooklyn’s Williamsburg or San Francisco’s Mission District, smaller hubs like the Warehouse Arts District are not immune to the process. “I think it’s a possibility,” Gamble said. “Organizing [the Warehouse Arts Management Organization] in 2004 was the first step to stop that from happening and we’ve taken many approaches to make sure it doesn’t happen.” WAMO is an artist-run nonprofit that works to maintain the
historical and artistic integrity of the Warehouse Arts District. The group purchased two warehouses— which would have otherwise been demolished for the Downtown Links roadway project—after local artists began to face eviction from their studio spaces. The Steinfeld Warehouse, one of the original warehouses purchased, now serves as a community arts center where artists can show their artwork in a large public space. E. Michael Contreras, owner and exhibitor of downtown’s Contreras Gallery & Jewelry, said this sense of community drives the passion behind the Warehouse Arts District. “The more artists that come in it becomes kind of like a local hub— people can gather and visit. The artists aren’t scattered around the city,” Contreras said. Contreras’s eponymous gallery has occupied a part of a warehouse on Sixth Street for four years and said the art created within the space reflects the culture of Tucson and the Southwest. “We’re around all the other artists —it helps us find inspiration,” Contreras said. “Artists come and go constantly—they want to be here.” Gamble said that despite obstruction from the Downtown Links project, artists continue to flock to the district to live and work among other artists. Gamble said Steinfeld was fully occupied at WAMO’s last open studio tour—a welcome change compared to two years ago, when the warehouse only had one tenant. If Tucsonans embrace the Warehouse Arts District and preserve its past and present as WAMO aims to do, the community’s future should be bright, according to Gamble. “Squeezing artists out would change the whole flavor of downtown Tucson,” Gamble said.
