The UA administration recently announced a new compensation increase program that will give graduate assistants, faculty and staff a wage increase. This announcement comes one month after graduate students gathered at Old Main to protest the lack of wages being received, where graduate students demanded better working conditions at UA and called for school President Ann Weaver Hart’s departure from the school. Former Graduate and Professional Student Council president, Sarah Netherton, said that with this new program, UA will stay on a high performance level. “I believe one of the greatest benefits of these pay increases will be to our ability to attract and retain the best and brightest to the UA , both faculty and graduate students,” Netherton said. “While we have world-renowned programs, competitive pay plays a large role in recruitment. Increasing salaries and I think stipends will move us everyone toward a competitive wants to be treated position among our fairly, so when peers.” Allison Vaillancourt, people feel their pay vice president of is fair compared to human resources others doing similar and institutional effectiveness, said work, that makes they’re really fortunate them feel good that people love to about themselves. work at UA, but the —Allison Vaillancourt university has not kept up with increasing pay over the years, and being able to pay competitively is critical. “Most of the funds that are going to be used to fund this raise program are going to come from colleges and departments themselves,” Vaillancourt said. “So they’re going to be asked to reallocate monies they might have used for something else and to really focus on investing in salaries this year.” According to UA’s FY 2017 Annual Budget, they are looking to set aside $9.5 million for faculty, staff and graduate assistant salary adjustments to show what they called a focused commitment to their employee’s performance. The UA is currently ranked last out of its fifteen peer institutions for average faculty salary. According to the UA at Work website, beginning with the Sept. 12 pay period, all benefits-eligible

UA looks in to transportation research BY ANGELA MARTINEZ The Daily Wildcat
The UA recently announced the creation of the Arizona Transportation Research Institute (AzTRI), a campus wide collaboration that will dive into creating solutions for modern transportation issues in Arizona. Larry Head, interim director of the institute and professor of systems and industrial engineering, said he hopes the institute improves certain transportation issues such as traffic congestion, transportation safety and vehicle pollution. “We’ve been researching advanced technology in transportation through the college of engineering for a long time, but as we looked around campus, we see lots of other people doing research related to transportation,” Head said. “Transportation issues affect everybody in their everyday lives.” Equipped with faculty from different departments and colleges across campus, AzTRI hopes to use the interdisciplinary expertise to address these challenges. According to Head, the majority of AzTRI’s funding will come from sponsored research projects that different faculty members will submit proposals for. “We submitted some proposals

to the University Transportation Centers, so we hope to get a lot of the funding through that program,” Head said. “A little bit of the startup funding has come from the senior vice president of research office.” Kimberly Andrews Espy, senior vice president of research at the UA, said Arizona is the sixth largest state in the United States, and with that comes a lot of ground to cover. “We are the corridor between

employees who are meeting performance expectations will receive a modest pay increase. According to the website, it has been three years since an institutional-wide pay raise at the UA and faculty salaries are around 15 percent under the national average. GPSC President Zachary Brooks said an important aspect of this new program is boosting workforce morale, which can’t be understated. “Secretaries, program coordinators, people at that level, they don’t make tons of money but they love Tucson, they love UA,” Brooks said. “To be recognized for a wage compensation increase makes them feel good about their decision to be a part of the UA and to do a lot of the work you and I rely on.” Mike Jonen, senior associate vice president of health sciences, said employees at the UA are a talented group and their work for the institution is important. “We are a top-tier university, ranked in a number of areas and you don’t get there unless you have good people,” Jonen said.
many of the things that are manufactured in Mexico, then distributed all across the country and then passed into the world,” Espy said, “So transportation is a huge part of Arizona’s commerce and the fabric of how we do business.” With major interstates and the U.S.-Mexico border, Arizona sees a lot of movement. “In two-way traffic, more than 46 million people, 17 million cars
He said he has confidence this proven system will work at UA. “Merit based pay programs have been shown to be an effective way to retain employees because you’re rewarding them for their performance,” Jonen said. “They feel engaged, part of the community, they represent the university well outside of the office just as much as when they’re inside the office.” Vaillancourt said that the UA administration has been comparing salaries and wages with different institutions locally, regionally and nationally. “I think everyone wants to be treated fairly, so when people feel their pay is fair compared to others doing similar work, that makes them feel good about themselves.” Vaillancourt said. “It makes them feel good about their work and that translates into the classroom.” More details about the Compensation Increase Program will be made available later this month.

and 760,000 trucks crossed the Arizona-Mexico border in 2015,” according to Arizona Town Hall. Sally Stevens, professor of gender and women’s studies, said she’s excited that the UA has a new research institute that will be helpful and informative. “Having a workforce that is more equitable will probably produce better solutions to the problems that we are seeing in Arizona,” Stevens said.
Stevens said her primary focus is to add a gender lens to the Institute and look at how women can contribute. “There are many aspects of the AzTRI that are more technical and will contribute to looking at actual transportation mechanisms, inventions and ways of solving problems,” she said. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, there was a total of 116,609 car crashes in 2015, 811 of which were fatal accidents. They also saw a 6.33 percent increase in accidents from 2014 to 2015. “My greatest hope for the Institute is that agencies like the City of Tucson, Pima Association of Governments and Arizona Department of Transportation come to the university when there is a challenge or problem and view us as a tremendous asset to help them solve that problem,” Head said. “We want everyone in the state of Arizona and the nation to look at us and our expertise.”

Regents meet in Flagstaff this week BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
School may be out, but for those who run the show at Arizona’s three public universities, summer is business as usual. The Arizona Board of Regents and leaders of Arizona’s public higher education system are heading north this week to Northern Arizona University’s campus for their June board meeting. Here are a few of the bigger items up for discussion: FY 2017 Annual Budget Arizona State University, NAU and the UA will be asking the board’s approval of their respective annual budgets. Due to increases in grants and contracts, tuition and fee revenues and state funding, the UA expects total net revenues to increase by $120.2 million. The UA is also looking to set aside $9.5 million for faculty, staff and graduate assistant salary adjustments to show what they called a focused commitment to their employee’s performance. The UA is currently ranked last out of its fifteen peer institutions for average faculty salary. Financing Building Projects UA, NAU and ASU are all asking the board to approve their FY 2017 Capital Development Plans. The UA is asking the board to approve this total project budget of $341.7 million for five already approved projects which include: • $16 million for phase two of a north campus infrastructure, which is currently on hold
• $18.5 million for a south stadium parking structure which will be 282,000 square feet • $63 million engineering innovation building which is also on hold • $79.2 million interdisciplinary chemical science renovation and expansion project that’s currently on hold • $165 million health sciences innovation building which will be 212,000 square feet Revisions, Revisions, Revisions The board is being asked to review a proposed revision to the regent’s requirements to be considered a resident, which would allow those who have participated in AmeriCorps program or the Volunteers in Service to America Program in Arizona for more than a year to be classified as an in-state student. They will also review a proposed revision to their academic credit policy, which would allow certain former and active military to receive academic credit based on their knowledge, skill and length of service. Strategic Plan The UA is asking the board to approve their proposed addendum to its 2016-2017 Academic Strategic Plan. Their addendum is to add two new academic programs—a B.S. in meteorology and a B.A. in world literatures , as well as replace the current B.S. in psychology with a B.S. in psychological sciences.

Banner-UMC breaks ground on tower BY MICHAEL HERNANDEZ The Daily Wildcat
UA hopes to continue its trend of groundbreaking research with the construction of a new hospital tower. Banner — Health University Medical Center broke ground Thursday, May 26 to commemorate the start of a $400 million tower just west of the hospital. The building is set to open in spring 2019. “We’re building not just on ground that had a different purpose, but we’re building on the shoulders of lots of people that have come before us, that have made a difference in the healthcare of this community,” said Kathy Bollinger, executive vice president of Banner University Medicine. Banner will equip the nine-story, 670,000 square-foot tower with new laboratories, operating rooms, diagnostic centers and more than 200 patient rooms. While the building will replace the current hospital founded in 1971 , an additional 75,000 square feet of the existing hospital will be renovated. “We’re going to have a new main entrance, we’re going to have new beds, we’re going to have new services and new locations for some of our existing facilities,” said Tom Dickson, CEO of Banner – UMC Tucson and South. “We are essentially constructing a new hospital
that’s going to serve this community for decades.” These projects are a part of a $1 billion commitment to the UA’s medical colleges in Tucson and Phoenix made by Banner, who bought the University of Arizona Medical Center in 2015. Banner acquired the UA Health Network, which owned the hospital, in 2015 and has worked with the Arizona Board of Regents to sign a 30-year agreement with the UA College of Medicine, establishing a public-private partnership between the two. “The opportunity to bring a world class medical school and world class clinical provider together to invent that future was very exciting to me, but a little intimidating,” UA President Ann Weaver Hart said. “With this team from Banner, we had an opportunity to really make a difference in designing that future.” Tucson mayor Jonathan Rothschild said Banner’s cooperation with the surrounding UA neighborhoods was a testament to Banner as a community partner. “I can tell you that the work that Banner did to work with the neighbors and to continue to partner with the neighbors to improve their neighborhood while making this investment made it very easy for the City Council to give approval,” Rothschild said. Rothschild said he hopes the tower will be

the start of a renaissance in redeveloping and growing the surrounding area. Construction is also underway on a $100 million, three-story outpatient center next to the University of Arizona Cancer Center on North Campbell Avenue and East Allen Road. The center will provide services such as radiation oncology, medical imaging and multi-specialty clinics. Between the two buildings, Banner will be spending over $70 million on state-of-the-art
equipment and computers. “We are very eager to bring all of the new technology and benefits for safety that will really make a difference for our patients,” Bollinger said.
Diversity
Tsosie, who will be both teaching and doing administrative work, said everything worked out for the best, and that she’s looking forward to personally talking to students and working with the provost and different academic units on campus. “Diversity is an important concept because it basically says our institution represents all of the people that are in our society,” Tsosie said. “The challenge of diversity within institutions is making sure the conditions work for inclusion, so people feel a sense of belonging.”

“chief diversity officer”, but instead they hired both of their finalists up for the position. UA Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Andrew Comrie said they’re fortunate because Treviño and Tsosie will be a huge addition to their unit on campus. “What we really have to do is make sure that we have the support services to really advance diversity in all of our units so that people can do it every day, rather than think it belongs somewhere over there in administration,” Comrie said. While the protests and letter from the Marginalized Students of the University of Arizona have put an even bigger spotlight on diversity, they coincidentally had already been looking to fill this senior diversity position since last year, according to Comrie. “Student voices are going to be very, very important,” Treviño said.”They have opened a door, created a window and brought diversity to our attention because there’s momentum on campus.” Treviño said he looks forward to working with Tsosie, the Diversity Task Force and the Diversity Coordinating Council, as well as listening to students. “Inclusive excellence is about bringing everybody to the table and having them make a contribution,” Treviño said. “We want to create an engaged community where everyone is aware of the issues the campus is facing.”

Vaccines, tigers and ancient tablets, oh my! BY Bailey bellavance The Daily Wildcat
Potential HIV vaccine to start clinical trials Oregon Health & Science University has begun recruiting volunteers for the first round of human tests of their vaccine for HIV. OHSU is a university located in Portland, Oregon known for its work in medicine, nursing and for its work with vaccines. As for the HIV vaccine, if trials are successful, the vaccine could take almost 10 years to hit the market, and the cost could be tens of millions of dollars. But the vaccine first needs to be tested before heading to market. OHSU began its search for human volunteers last week via a website created by the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at OHSU. The website has publications on the university’s work with diseases and viruses, as well as information about vaccine studies. As for the HIV study, OHSU is looking for people ages 18 to 60 and in good health. According to their website, OSHU researchers are conducting the study to learn about a virus called cytomegalovirus, “ ... in preparation for future vaccine studies in which CMV is used as part of a vaccine to prevent infections such as HIV and tuberculosis.” Participants in the study will not receive any vaccines as part of the research. The vaccine trials are set to begin next year.

Big trouble in little Thailand Thailand’s ever-popular “Tiger Temple” has been shut down, having all 137 tigers removed by authorities. Last week, 100 tigers were removed followed by the remaining animals taken off the grounds on Saturday—the entire removal operation took nearly a week. In a statement to CNN, Adisorn Noochdumrong, deputy director general of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, said the tigers looked healthy but he and his team will perform background checks to confirm their health. The tigers have been relocated to a government sanctuary nearly 60 miles away from the “Tiger Temple.” The large-scale removal comes just days after 40 dead tiger cubs were found inside the temple last Wednesday, June 1. During a continued investigation of the temple for more suspicious items, investigators also recovered pieces of tiger skin and tiger teeth . Also found were small containers made from tiger skin, usually worn around the neck by the superstitious for the belief they will become invincible. More complaints will be filed against the people in charge of the foundation running the temple, as well as against the chief monk of the “Tiger Temple” for violating the Wildlife Conservation Act. If these people are convicted, they could see four years in prison and a fine of $1,100, according to Noochdumrong.
Ancient writing speaks to the mundane Archaeologists have found some of the oldest handwritten documents in Britain, with a direct reference to London. Over 400 writing tablets were found while a site in London was being excavated. Construction at the site uncovered a trove of Roman artifacts including writing tablets, Roman buildings and 15,000 other artifacts. But the tablets in particular contain a plethora of information. The tablets directly reference, for the first time ever, London in an address which dates between 65 A.D. and 80 A.D.. There were also financial documents which date to 57 A.D., making the document the earliest handwritten document found in Britain. On the tablets are almost 100 names, from slaves, judges and brewers. This information provides historians and archaeologist’s insight to the daily workings on London, from the more ordinary everyday tasks. Prior to this archaeological find, only 19 writing tablets have been found in London, so the discovery of these tablets is valuable in terms of information. Some of the artifacts will be on display at the site, including the oldest handwritten tablet, when the Bloomberg building is finished in 2017. CNN NEWSSOURCE

Bones supposedly belonging to a boy aged 14-19, are arranged on a necropsy table in the medical examiner’s office on April 5. Bones found on the border are taken to the medical examiner’s office, identitified and reunited with families.

and can tell us about that, that is a nice lead.” Many unidentified migrants are not as lucky. At the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, there is only a 65 percent identification rate, down from 82 percent in 2001. For the past two decades, most of the migrant deaths experienced along the borders have been concentrated in Southern Arizona. Although the trend has begun to shift towards Texas, the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner was ground zero for dealing with these types of cases. This proximity has led to the creation of many partnerships and organizations. The Colibrí Center for Human Rights works on the antemortem side, compiling a database of missing persons reports for the migrants and advocating for families and migrants. In their reports, the Colibrí Center compiles skeletal information, any items the person may have been traveling with and any identifying features like tattoos. The ways in which migrants cross has changed in the last few decades along with border security reform. The United States Border Patrol intentionally left open the rough terrain, hoping to use geography as an ally. However, this has backfired, and instead migrants are crossing these dangerous and remote areas, where the risks of extreme weather and injury are high. The likelihood
of finding these bodies is low. “The idea was that once migrants saw what crossing that terrain was like, they would be deterred and turn back,” said Reyna Araibi, outreach coordinator for the Colibrí Center for Human Rights. “While it became extremely dangerous for people to cross this terrain, they still were facing the same things they were facing before in terms of the reasons why they were migrating.” When crossing into Arizona, Phoenix is the ultimate destination for most migrants. Many travel along corridors, but these routes have evolved as the drug and human smuggling operations have combined. While migrants used to primarily travel at low elevations in washes, they are now traveling at higher elevations. “Any place where there are population centers, that’s where they’re trying to get to,” said Gary Christopherson, an associate professor of practice in the School of Geography and Development who works with Humane Borders. The group provides emergency water stations in migrant routes and works to provide geographic information about migrant morality. “You see a lot of [deaths] along the road, and those are usually traffic accidents.” According to data put out by the the Smithsonian in 2014 , there have been over 6,000 border deaths from 2000 through 2014. In Southern Arizona, there have been on average 177 bodies recovered each year from 2002-2013. According to a report put out by Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner in 2013, the highest number of bodies
recovered was 223 in 2010. “There may be reason to believe that 2015 was the highest year on record, Araibi said. “This is in no way a trend that is decreasing and, if anything, it may be increasing.” By the time some of the bodies make it to the examiner’s office they are degraded. However the majority still have flesh of some manner. It is not uncommon for bodies to come in as only sun bleached bones, as partial skeletons, or as mummified remains due to the lack of moisture from the Arizona environment . For bodies which are still in relatively good shape, the first step is to try and identify them through fingerprinting. If they have tattoos, these can be used as an identifier. Often times blue or black ink tattoos can be hard to see through the naked eye, so infrared light is used to decipher the image. “Most of the migrants come from poor communities, most of them have never seen a real dentist, maybe even a real doctor the way we have in the United States, so we can’t just ask the family to call the dentist and send the dental records because they don’t exist,” Anderson said. If the remains are fully skeletal or other identification methods cannot identify the corpse, forensic anthropology comes into play. Any small detail that sets aside a body from the average person can provide an opportunity for identification. If there are no identifying factors, DNA can be extracted and matched with a family reference sample. “The forensic anthropologist is asked to
look at the remains and determine things like age, height, ancestry, sex, the period of time between death and recovery that we called the post mortem interval, which can be very important,” Anderson said. “If it’s one day we only have to look at missing persons reports from yesterday; if it’s two years we have to look at a whole lot of missing persons reports.” Exposure is the most common reason for death, followed by undetermined reasons due to a lack of complete remains to determine a cause of death. “Homicide or any kind of intentional death has remained below four percent consistently,” Araibi said. For the migrant on the table, there is a good chance that he will be identified. The office often works with the consulates to help coordinate with families and gather DNA information. The work that the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner does alongside their partners gives hope back to migrant families looking to find their loved ones. “What he did in his life that makes him different is that he broke his ankle,” said Bruce Anderson, one of the two forensic anthropologists at the examiner’s office, referring to the skeleton laying on his table. “He hurt himself years prior, sought medical attention, a doctor put those two screws in that bone and fixed the fracture, so if the family knows about that and can tell us about that, that is a nice lead.”

For-profit colleges have a place, too BY Jackson Morrison
The Daily Wildcat
F
or-profit schools often spark the ire of the public. There is a conception that these schools prey on the desperate and weak and give them nothing in return. This conception may be baseless. Instead we should view for-profit schools as an evolution of the institution of higher education, and the difficulties the public sees are simply the growing pains of organizations simply trying to provide an education for those who don’t follow a traditional path. Often for-profit schools, such as the DeVry Education Group, are accused of intentionally recruiting the more desperate degree seekers and taking advantage of them. Mark Kantrowitz, senior vice president of Edvisors, writes that 70 percent of all for-profit school revenue comes from Pell Grants and governmental education subsidies for lowerclass Americans. The LA Times also reports that for-profit schools took in $8.2 billion in revenue from the G.I. bill. Figures like these are commonly used as evidence proving that for-profit schools exist as a wolf in the hen house, preying on those who do not see another option. I don’t think this is the case. People should instead remember that these are young men and women trying to take advantage of the American dream by first receiving an education, an
education that—in the cases of some of these men and women— for-profit schools may be better suited to provide. Often individuals will turn away from the more traditional non-profit private and public universities when their academic history doesn’t qualify them for admission or when their situation makes those options impossible. Historically, these motivated individuals have instead turned to community college and usually graduated with an associate’s degree after two years. In the past 20 years private for-profit schools have seen a massive increase in attendance while community colleges have seen a massive decrease. There is a stigma attached to community colleges that is rarely talked about. An associate’ degree from a community college is perceived to be worth very little in today’s professional jobs market. Many community college students have shown they do not consider community college to be a worthwhile endeavor. US News reported on a study that shows one in four community college students drop out after their first year. Students are flocking to forprofit schools because of one simple fact, they think it’s worth it. Critics also commonly target for-profit schools by claiming that they fail to provide a worthwhile university experience. They commonly cite that most for-profit schools have a graduation rate of roughly a quarter, but I do not consider this to be much of a negative.
A degree is valuable because it is difficult to obtain. It’s an accomplishment which shows a potential employer that you are able to see a long and difficult project all the way to a successful conclusion. By providing difficult courses that some may find difficult to pass, they are supplying proof that those capable of earning a degree are worthy of gainful employment. The Atlantic reports that a little more than a third of full time community college students are able to obtain a degree within six years. So if a low graduation rate is a problematic statistic, it is not an issue exclusive to for-profit schools. This is a controversy that has had an effect on the UA community as well.

Hart, the president of the UA, has become a member of the board of the DeVry Education Group. This decision has been met with widespread disapproval and calls for her resignation. There is a segment of the population that believes Hart has “sold out” and is now in bed with the enemy. Those claims are unfounded. It is illogical for these individuals to be diametrically opposed to the notion of forprofit schools and to oppose Hart’s appointment to the board. Eileen Klein, president of the Arizona Board of Regents, has gone on record saying that she does not consider Hart’s affiliation with DeVry Education Group to be a conflict of interest that will negatively affect her performance at the UA. Hart’s appointment to the board of DeVry Education Group will also provide a sense
of legitimacy to the degrees the school gives. If there are improper educational practices at DeVry Education Group, a professional with a distinguished record such as Hart’s, will be able to recognize and resolve them. For-profit schools are not the monster they have been made out to be. While it is important to monitor non-traditional institutions, they provide a desired service to a niche audience. With a trend of wellestablished and qualified educators beginning to work with these universities, for-profit schools are starting to gain an air of legitimacy they haven’t previously enjoyed.

GPSC prez. announces ‘summer of sunlight’
93% of UA students did not get in trouble with school authorities last school year. (2014 Health & Wellness Survey, n=1,941)
What happens if I’m caught on campus with alcohol? It depends... 1) on your age, and 2) who caught you.
This is a timely reminder for new students who want to avoid trouble or possible hall eviction. Here’s what you need to know. If you’re under 21 and found with alcohol in your residence hall, you will likely be sanctioned by a community director to complete an alcohol education class for violating Residence Hall Community Standards. Sanctioning includes a parental notification letter and you will be placed on Deferred Eviction. If you accrue additional violations, you can be evicted from your hall (yet you still have to pay the rent contract for the remainder of the semester). If you fail to complete your sanctions by your deadline, a hold will be placed on your student account preventing you from registering or changing classes until your sanctions are completed. If you are under 21 and cited by a UAPD officer, you will be referred to the Dean’s Office. The Dean’s Office provides a diversion program for first time student misdemeanor cases in the county court system, meaning you don’t have to go to court as the Dean’s Office will assign your sanctions. This can include a fine,
community service hours, and an alcohol education class. Also, if you are under 21, the Dean’s Office will inform your parents of your violation through the Parental Notification Law of 1999. If you have already completed a UA Diversion program (this is a one-time deal), you will be sanctioned for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct AND will also have to go to court. Double sanctions and costs. If you fail to complete your diversion sanctions by your deadline, the Dean’s Office also places a hold on your student account. If you’re really intoxicated and it’s determined that you need medical assistance (possible alcohol poisoning, for instance), paramedics are called to evaluate you and you could be transported to University Medical Center (where you incur additional ambulance and hospital costs). You can view the Student Code of Conduct and other FAQ’s at the Dean of Student’s website at www.deanofstudents.arizona.edu. The Residence Life Community Living Guide, which include all Community Standards, can be found at www.life.arizona.edu (search for “policies and procedures”).

The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona baseball team opened up NCAA Tournament play by going 4-1 in the Lafayette Regional, including winning three elimination games, to earn the Wildcats a trip to the Super Regionals for a best-of-three series against Mississippi State in Starkville, Mississippi. Here’s how the Wildcats’ successful trip to Lafayette, Louisiana went down: Game 1: Arizona 7, Sam Houston State 3 In its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2012, Arizona defeated SHSU 7-3 in its opening game of the regional. Initially an 11 a.m. start time, severe thunderstorms in the area forced a five-hour rain delay, pushing first pitch back until 4 p.m. When the game finally got underway, Arizona would strike first in the bottom of the fourth inning. On an 0-2 count with Zach Gibbons and Alfonso Rivas III on base, Ryan Aguilar hit a three-run homer to right field, putting the Wildcats up 3-0. The next batter, JJ Matijevic, homered to right, extending Arizona’s lead to 4-0. And the Wildcats weren’t done yet. Arizona’s offensive flurry continued into the bottom of the sixth, where it’d score three more runs. Bobby Dalbec homered to center to make it 5-0, then Jared Oliva hit an RBI triple to make it 6-0. Oliva eventually scored on suicide squeeze by Louis Boyd, giving Arizona a comfortable 7-0 lead. Nathan Bannister made the start on the mound for the Wildcats and kept the Bearkats in check. He tossed seven shutout innings, and only allowed four hits. The Bearkats scored three runs off Rio Gomez late in the game, and UA head coach Jay Johnson turned to Bobby Dalbec to close it out and he’d do just that, getting the final outs to seal the 7-3 victory.

Game 5: Arizona 3, ULL 1 Arizona’s game four win meant a rematch against ULL, with the winner advancing to a Super Regional. And once again,the Wildcats defeated the Ragin’ Cajuns, but this time by a score of 3-1. Much like the previous game, Arizona found its groove offensively immediately in the bottom of the first inning. Ryan Aguilar
The Arizona softball team began the 2016 season with the expectation that this was the team that could bring the storied program back to the Women’s College World Series. But it came up just short, losing two out of three to the fourthseeded Auburn Tigers in a Super Regional matchup. The Wildcats’ final record, 40-21, marked the 28th time the program has reached the 40-win mark. The season also marked the third straight year the team won a regional series, but also marked the sixth straight year the program came up short of a trip to the Women’s College World Series . The Wildcats had a promising start to the season, winning their first seven games, including a victory over No. 4 LSU. It looked like the emergence of transfer pitcher Danielle O’Toole could make the Wildcats a perpetual top-10 team for the entire season. However, when the team entered its eighth game—a match-up against unranked Central Michigan—it foreshadowed the theme of its season inconsistency. Arizona lost to unranked Central Michigan, scored a victory over No. 15 UCF shortly thereafter, then lost to unranked Cal Poly all in the same weekend. Early season errors cost the Wildcats games they should of won, including when they committed four errors in their 4-3 loss to then-No. 4 Alabama. The team’s toughest non-conference matchup was a two-game home series against No. 10 James Madison. JMU boasted two of the top pitchers in the nation, and closely resembled the Wildcats’ style of play. Arizona struggled to plate runs in the series, losing both games and teams started to avoid pitching to the top half of the Wildcats’ lineup. Arizona’s lineup was very top-heavy throughout the season and head coach

potent ULL offense, and he struggled from the get-go. The Ragin’ Cajuns scored three early runs and eventually chased Cloney out of the game after just 3.2 innings. In total, Cloney allowed seven runs on seven hits. The Wildcats found themselves down 7-1 through four innings, and they couldn’t claw back. A two-run homer by Cody Ramer cut Arizona’s deficit to 7-3 in the top of the fifth inning, but the Ragin’ Cajuns responded with two runs of their own in the bottom half of the frame, then tacked on another run in the bottom of the sixth pushing their lead to 10-3, which would be the final score. Game 3: Arizona 6, SHSU 5 A second loss would mean Arizona would be eliminated from the regional, but was avoided in game three, defeating SHSU 6-5 on Sunday night. SHSU took a lead in the second inning thanks to an RBI double by Josh Biles. But that’d be the team’s only run until the bottom of the fifth. Meanwhile, Zach Gibbons hit an RBI single to knot things up 1-1 in the third inning. Arizona then took a 3-1 lead after RBI doubles by Matijevic and Cesar Salazar. The Wildcats added three more runs, while SHSU added one of its own to make it 6-2 heading into the seventh inning. That’s where Arizona starting pitcher Bobby
Dalbec ran into trouble, giving up three runs, allowing the Bearkats to make it a 6-5 game. However, the Wildcats were able to prevent any further damage, and held onto to win by that score. Game 4: Arizona 6 , ULL 3 Again needing a win to keep its season alive, Arizona beat ULL 6-3 to avoid elimination. The Wildcats set the tone early in the bottom of the first when Ryan Aguilar knocked in two runs to put Arizona up 2-0. A sacrifice bunt by Dalbec scored Rivas later in the inning to make it 3-0. The Wildcats had a 6-0 lead through four innings, and that was more than enough for Nate Bannister, who pitched seven innings and allowed just three runs. ULL loaded the bases in the eighth inning, but Kevin Ginkel came in and prevented any damage, then threw a clean ninth inning to get a save and force a final, deciding game.

Trier’s development is key for UA basketball in ‘16-17 BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
N
ormally at the end of a season, Arizona head coach Sean Miller prepares to hear a few of his former players names to be called on NBA Draft night, but this year has a different vibe heading into the summer. There is a strong possibility that Miller won’t have a single one of his former players selected in this year’s NBA Draft, making it the first time since 2012 of not having a player drafted. But that’s the least of his concerns right now. An incoming top-3 recruiting class has generated plenty of buzz in Tucson heading into the upcoming season. But another move, Allonzo Trier’s decision to return for his sophomore season, has created even more optimism. As a matter of fact, Trier will be the most essential piece moving forward for Miller and the Wildcats. Trier was on the fence about testing the NBA Draft waters after his freshman season, but ultimately felt he wasn’t ready to make the jump to professional basketball. Instead he made a “mature decision” to stay, according to Miller. “I have to credit Allonzo Trier and his family, they made a mature decision—a wise decision in my opinion,” Miller said. “A lot of guys like Allonzo who have his pedigree and track record tend to want
to prove the world wrong.” As Miller noted, Trier has all the credentials to prove that he’s capable of being drafted. He’s a former five-star recruit, a McDonald’s AllAmerican, a member of the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team and he averaged 14.8 points per game as a freshman, showing that he can get to the rim and score at will. But while Trier may get to the basket with ease against college players, how would his game translate when matching up against NBA talent? If his performance in the NCAA Tournament was any indication, it became clear that Trier wasn’t ready to make the jump just yet, as he scored just 10 points and had four turnovers in the opening round loss . “When you leave school, you want to make sure you have insurance—that you have either [...] a college degree or the opportunity through the right knowledge and resources to be a first-round pick or a draft pick so you can have the longest career you can,” Miller said. “[Trier] wanted to be all-in if he came back, which I think says a lot about his maturity.” Now that Trier is back in the fold, Miller has a proven scorer that will only continue to get better on his roster, not to mention that Miller expects Trier to become a leader of what will be a very young team. Trier will be staying in Tucson this summer, spending time at Richard Jefferson Gymnasium with his fellow returnees as well as the plethora of five-star

doubled to right and Zach Gibbons, who singled in the inning, scored all the way from first on a throwing error. Aguilar, who advanced to third on the error, scored later in the inning on a wild pitch giving Arizona a 2-0 lead. Cody Ramer drove in Louis Boyd with an RBI single in the second inning to make it a 3-0

recruits coming in. That type of camaraderie is a recipe for success, not just for the team, but also Trier’s game as a whole. “Allonzo is going to add to what he already does well and I think he’s going to be a much better passer, he has the chance to become a very good defensive player, leadership and all of the things you want to see in a returning player,”
Arizona lead. Kevin Ginkel started on the mound for the Wildcats and was able to silence the Ragin’ Cajuns’ offense. He pitched 5.2 innings, allowing just four hits and one run. Kyle Clement’s solo homer would be ULL’s only run of the ballgame. Cameron Ming relieved Ginkel in the sixth inning, and would preserve Arizona’s 3-1 lead, allowing just one baserunner in the final 3.1 innings. As regional champions, the Wildcats will
Miller said. “He’s going to embody those qualities.” Talent alone doesn’t equate to success, leadership is equally important.

Mike Candrea structured the bottom of his lineup in a variety of ways throughout the year. Heading into conference play, Arizona knew it would have to hit to survive the brutal Pac-12 Conference schedule. Conference play opened with a threegame series against rival ASU and Arizona got off to a hot start in the conference, taking two out of three games against the team from up north and followed that up with another series victory over Utah. The true strength of the team lied with the pitching staff. Freshman Taylor McQuillin and redshirt junior Danielle O’Toole were dominant throughout the season, and took their games to another level during conference play. However, the team struggled to overcome their thin lineup and struggled against the top teams in the Pac12 losing series to Oregon, Washington and UCLA. Arizona finished the season 36-19 and found itself in an unfamiliar situation—the Wildcats were an unseeded team headed to Knoxville, Tennessee for their regional. Arizona defeated Ohio State 2-0 in the first game of the regional, and took out host Tennessee in game two of the regional, 4-0. O’Toole was nearly unhittable in the first two match-ups, and the Wildcats were suddenly a hot team. They defeated Tennessee 4-3 in the regional final on the back of another fantastic O’Toole performance, and earned a trip to Auburn, Alabama for a Super Regional. After yet another dominating performance from O’Toole, Arizona took game one from Auburn and had themselves one win away from heading back to the WCWS. O’Toole was carrying the team on her shoulders, but it couldn’t be sustained. The Wildcats were unable to generate enough runs in the final two games of the series, and fell to the Tigers in three games. Arizona will lose only one player, senior catcher Lauren Young, and will have the expectation of taking that next step to the Women’s College World Series next year. Individually, the Wildcats had three players make the first team All Pac-12 squad—leadoff hitter Mandie Perez, cleanup hitter Katiyana Mauga and ace O’Toole. Mo Mercado made the second team and freshman Taylor McQuillin made the third team in her impressive rookie campaign. Heading into the 2016-17 season, the Wildcats are a team knocking on the door. They will have one of the nation’s best pitchers, along with one of the top sluggers in the nation in Katiyana Mauga. Mauga is the only player in NCAA history to hit 20 or more home runs in each of her first three seasons. Mauga and O’Toole are potential first team pre-season All-Americans, and together they will have Arizona highlyranked in preseason polls.

Check out our top summer movie picks BY Alec Kuehnle The Daily Wildcat
sexual health mythbusters!
As the infamous wave of 100+ degree heat rolls into Tucson this summer, we will inevitably make our way indoors. After us bored UA students eventually get bored of spending too much time at home and it hits us that this scorching desert offers literally nothing to do, we will flock to the one place that we can always rely on for reprieve: the movies. Luckily, a slew of new movies arrives this summer. Here’s the rundown on the best ones to see in the coming months. “Finding Dory”: On June 17, one of the summer’s most anticipated films will hit the big screen. “Finding Dory,” the long-awaited sequel to “Finding Nemo,” will return to the wonderful underwater world created in the first film, but Dory is the one who gets lost this time (now that Nemo probably learned his lesson). This sequel builds upon its predecessor and breathes new life into the franchise, instead of just coasting on the groundwork laid by the original, as many sequels often do. “Independence Day: Resurgence”: The original “Independence Day” made for a pretty average alien invasion flick in 1996. This sequel isn’t necessary, but nevertheless it premieres in theaters June 24. Director Roland Emmerich will return, along with cast members Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman. Unfortunately, Will Smith will not return. Instead, Liam Hemsworth will take the reins as the leading man. He has nowhere near the star power of Will Smith, but hopefully he can still elevate the film to better-than-average sequel status. “The Purge: Election Year”: The next installment of “The Purge” franchise hits theaters on July 1. These movies are not particularly good, but also not particularly bad. Regardless, they are all wildly entertaining. Each of the three films highlights an annual holiday where for 12 hours, all crime becomes legal—even murder. As expected, chaos ensues with hauntingly entertaining results. “Star Trek Beyond”: Continuing with this summer’s sequel tradition (and further confirming how lazy Hollywood has become), the next “Star Trek” film hits theaters July 22. The first two films in this series are both fantastic, so expectations for this one are pretty high. Most of the cast will return, but director JJ Abrams—who directed the first two “Star Trek” installments—will not, as he stepped away to direct “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Despite Abrams’ departure from the franchise, “Star Trek Beyond” should still deliver. “Jason Bourne”: Matt Damon returns on July 29 in one of the best roles of his career—the
answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
2016 EDITION Since 1995 SexTalk has been answering questions about sex and relationships from UA students. Here are some of the persistent myths that we often hear: MYTH: I heard ASU has its very own STD. Is that true?
MYTH: Mountain Dew shrinks your testicles and lowers sperm count.
FACT: Wildcats get the same sexually transmitted infections that afflict Sun Devils. The top 3 at UA are chlamydia, HPV, and herpes.
FACT: Good news: NO. Bad news: Mountain Dew is not the new male birth control.

one and only Jason Bourne. This film marks Damon’s fourth time playing the character, and hopefully it will elevate the series back to greatness after 2012’s mediocre “The Bourne Legacy,” the only Bourne film that didn’t star Damon. A disappointing installment of the franchise will leave fans empty and longing for more, so let’s hope for the best. “Suicide Squad”: Will Smith may not star in “Independence Day: Resurgence,” but his fans can still get their Fresh Prince fix thanks to the villain ensemble film, “Suicide Squad.” This action-packed film premieres on August 5, and those who enjoy unique takes on superhero films smiliar to “Deadpool” will likely enjoy this one as well. If superhero action flicks aren’t your thing, Jared Leto’s Joker performance alone should make the film worth watching. “Sausage Party”: “Sausage Party,” opening August 12, aims to break new comedic ground. The animated ensemble comedy takes a look at the horror felt by different types of food after they get brought home from the grocery store and realize the fate in store for them. The premise sounds a bit ridiculous, but the preview looks funny, so hopefully the film will provide some laughs. These films alone are enough reason to take a trip the movies this summer. Whether you want to escape from the unbearable heat, or just the equally unbearable monotony of life, make sure to check these movies out.
MYTH: If I go to Campus Health for birth control, my parents will find out. FACT: If you are 18 or older, your medical records are confidential and protected. Your parents cannot access them without your written permission.
MYTH: Peeing after sex keeps you from getting an STD. FACT: Sorry, urine won’t prevent herpes, chlamydia, HIV, or other STDs. Peeing after sex might help avoid a urinary tract infection, so it IS a good idea to take a trip to the bathroom after sex.
FACT: Fertile females get pregnant in all kinds of positions (read the Kama Sutra for ideas).
MYTH: Anal sex isn’t really “sex,” so it’s safe, right? FACT: Anal sex increases your risk of sexually transmitted infections like hepatitis, syphilis, and HIV.
MYTH: You can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex. FACT: First time, tenth time, 100th time – it doesn’t matter. Young adults and teens are at their peak fertility.
UA Campus Health offers many sexual health products and services: STD testing and treatment, condoms, the “morning after pill,” HPV vaccine, birth control, etc. And, Campus Health protects your privacy – if you Bursar any charges, your statement will simply read: “Student Health Charge.”

Catch these June concerts in the Dirty T BY Brenna Bailey The Daily Wildcat
If you’re reading this you—like our crew over here at the Summer Wildcat—are living your summer in Tucson. That’s a ballsy move, reader. You’ve taken a real risk here, seeing as Tucson summers—in their 100-plus-degree-heat glory—appear overtly mundane. We get it. But trust us, your summer in the Dirty T can be loads of fun, thanks to tours from local and national musicians and bands alike. Without further ado: here are our top 10 Tucson concert picks for the month of June (and be sure to stay posted for our upcoming July and August picks, too).
1 2 3 4 5
ASIAN FRED ASIAN FRED is a funky local group. Groove to the four piece’s beachy, psychedelic tunes for only $5. Just don’t forget to rip your bong a couple times before heading to The Flycatcher. Tickets are available off The Flycatcher’s website and at the door. • When: Saturday, June 25 • Where: The Flycatcher
LOS LONELY BOYS June 11 will be #ThrowbackSaturday at the Rialto thanks to the mom-approved Los Lonely Boys. Come on—you know “Heaven” was your 7 year-old self’s jam. Cop your tickets for 34 to 47 bucks on the Rialto’s website. • When: Saturday June 11 • Where: Rialto Theatre
GOOD OLD WAR Remember when iTunes would give you a bunch of mediocre songs for free just for purchasing an iPod? Good Old War’s “That’s Some Dream” was one of those, but it’s actually good. The indie two-piece should put on a chill show that will inspire you to hug a stranger. Get your tickets off Club Congress’ website for $15-$17. • When: Sunday June 26 • Where: Club Congress
BAD SUNS Bad Suns bring a funky brand of Los Angeles alt-pop reminiscent of Two Door Cinema Club and Metro Station, and it will make you want to shake it. Buy your tickets for 18 to 20 bucks a pop on the Rialto website. • When: Thursday June 30 • Where: Club Congress
THE RECEIVER Kscope described The Receiver as a “symphonic dream-prog duo,” and after listening to “To Battle an Island,” I think I agree. Think of Linkin-Park-meets-Kevin-Parker vibes. Admission is free. • When: Saturday June 11 • Where: Sky Bar
Manifesto Records

ROGUE WAVE Lo-Fi. Indie rock. So chill. These all describe Oakland-based Rogue Wave’s classic California-brand, guitar-driven tunes. If that’s your cuppa—tickets range from $18 to $20 on the Rialto website. • When: Wednesday June 15 • Where: Rialto Theatre
CURREN$Y Do you like Ne-Yo? R-Kelley? General early 2000’s soft R&B? If yes, you will probably dig Curren$y’s upcoming Rialto show. Tickets are $23-26 and available on the theater’s website. • When: Sunday June 12 • Where: Rialto Theatre
THE DESERT BEATS Support the Tucson born-and-raised group The Desert Beats. Their “desert garage rock-and-roll” tunes should be pretty interesting. Best part about the show? Admission is free. • When: Saturday June 11 • Where: The Flycatcher
