Laurel Wilkening, former dean of sciences, dies at 74

BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11

Laurel Wilkening, former head of the University of Arizona’s department of planetary sciences and director of the Lunar & Planetary Laboratory, died on June 4. Wilkening’s passion for science led her to not only contribute her knowledge to the UA, but to the world.

Born in Richland, Wash. Wilkening went on to earn a bachelor’s degree at Reed College as well as a Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego.

Wilkening joined the UA in 1973, where she was a professor of geological chemistry. Eventually, Wilkening became the director and department head for UA’s LPL, serving from 1981 to 1983. She also was the first person to serve as the

dean of sciences at the UA and spent time as the dean for the graduate college.

After her time at the UA, Wilkening became the first woman provost at the University of Washington and the University of California Irvine’s first woman chancellor, all before she retired in 1998.

In addition to her teaching and administration roles, Wilkening made her mark in various space programs serving as vice chairwoman of Ronald Reagan’s National Commission on Space.

Adding to her long list of accomplishments, Wilkening had an asteroid named after her. In 2013, the International Astronomical Union announced that an asteroid discovered in 1999 would be named in her honor.

Not only did Wilkening accomplish

many different things in the science world, she also contributed to the creation of the UA’s department of gender & women’s studies and helped with the campaign to build the Women’s Plaza of Honor.

According to the Carrillo’s Tucson Mortuary website, she is survived by her brother Wes and Mary Wilkening and niece, Whitney Wilkening.

WHILE SCHOLARSHIPS MAY BE changing, students can always find help in the Student Transfer Center on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center.

Transfer scholarship changes coming to UA

BY JON KRESAL @DailyWildcat

One of the big reasons for people to come to the University of Arizona is the scholarships offered. The Transfer Tuition Scholarship brings many students from community college to finish their degree and helps transfer students finish their degrees.

However, it comes with some specific criteria in order to receive it and get it renewed.

This two-year scholarship offers $3,000 per year for residents who have a 3.0 GPA and $5,000 for nonresidents who have a 3.5. One needs to have completed 36 units and no more than 80 when applying.

While many transfer students receive this scholarship, keeping it is another issue. In order to renew it, one must complete 30 credits by the end of the first award year.

“I didn’t even realize you needed 30 credits and was scared that I might lose it,” said Mathew Filkins, an employee at the Transfer Student Center and a transfer student himself. “A reason I came to the U of A was this scholarship.

I applied to ASU, and U of A just gave me so much more money.”

Filkins said a coworker “took 20 credits a semester to try and graduate on time and keep her scholarship, and I just saw how stressed out she was throughout the year.”

Now when transfer students come to the center, they are told about the credit minimum, so they know that they need to complete 30 credits.

The Transfer Student Center offers services like free printing, coffee and a place for transfer students to work and hangout.

Chris, another transfer student who requested his last name be withheld, talked about how he wasn’t eligible for this scholarship since he attended another major university 32 years ago.

“I was unaware that that had anything to do with anything,” he said. “I was a Phi Theta Kappa scholar at Pima and I was under the impression that I was getting this scholarship.”

However, there are a few ways to aquire the needed credits.

“It can be stretched out — requirement for full-time is 12 units,” said Akhtar Parvez, the Associate Director of Scholarships. “Students can enroll 12 in fall, 12 in spring. That’s 24 and they can complete their 30 units with a winter class or Summer One or Summer Two.”

ARTS & LIFE | MUSICAL HONOR

UA Director of Bands recognized at Carnegie Hall Chad Nicholson, the University of Arizona director of bands and conductor of the UA Wind Ensemble, has been chosen as one of the nationally recognized guests at Carnegie Hall. The Daily Wildcat sat down with Nicholson and talked about hosting workshops for multiple ensembles that will perform in Carnegie Hall’s Symphonic Series on June 17

BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11

Daily Wildcat: How long have you been performing?

Chad Nicholson: This is my 23rd year as a conductor, so I have basically conducted at every level from middle school, high school, college, professional, orchestra, band, jazz, marching band, musicals and pretty much everything you can think of.

DW: What has been your most memorable performance?

CN: I’ve been conducting this professional ensemble in China for a few years now. First time I did that, I walked into the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing during the warm-up, so it was just the ensemble and myself in this big empty hall. To be able to prepare for this on my side, learn the Mandarin language, learn how to communicate with these folks and to work with these professional players as well as to be held to the highest expectation because they expect the highest level of world class performance was absolutely exhilarating.

DW: Tell me a little about being one of the nationally recognized guests at Carnegie Hall.

CN: On the Carnegie Hall website, they do what they call the Symphonic Series for bands and orchestras.

They invited the orchestra conductor from Michigan State University and me to come out and work with all of these ensembles and help get them to their peak performing level for Carnegie Hall. When they perform at Carnegie Hall, we will be giving them additional musical comments and feedback, so it highlights these great ensembles but also has an educational element.

It feels pretty special to me, I have never gotten to do anything musically at Carnegie Hall before. It is special to go and basically help these performers reach the highest level that they possibly can.

DW: How did it feel to learn that you were one of the two chosen to be a nationally recognized guest at Carnegie Hall?

CN: In a way it’s hard to believe that a place that I have always heard about has my name on their website, it does feel really special. I was brought up in a very small town in Oklahoma on a race horse ranch, and the whole idea of even going to New York City one day, much less being in Carnegie Hall working with ensembles, was not something that I ever expected. I appreciate the opportunity because I realized that it’s one of those things that you work hard, try to do the best that you can in everything you do and you try to

be a kind person and help people, so sometimes when these opportunities come up, you have to take a breath and say, “Wow, this is one of those special things I never thought being a band director would lead to.”

DW: Are you excited to be providing private workshops for the ensembles?

CN: I am extremely excited to work with them. A lot of what I enjoy about being an ensemble conductor is the people because the people make the music, and we don’t teach band, we teach people. When people talk about college and high school students, they tend to get a bad rep, and I find them to be energizing, hopeful, intelligent, driven and creative. When I get to interact with these people, it allows me to create a personal connection with them and with the music.

When I actually get to spend time providing the private workshops for the ensembles I want to give them something they can use forever, whether it’s in the rehearsal room or in life.

DW: What are you most looking forward to?

CN: I would say getting the chance to see these students through the process and then watching them go onstage at Carnegie Hall. As a musician and performer, I frequently get to do things that are exciting and unusual, but for these students, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and to see how it all comes together for them is going to be the most special part.

DW: What advice would you give a UA music major who might want to be in your shoes someday?

CN: The best way to achieve at the highest level is to make sure that you are achieving at the most fundamental level every single day no matter what it is you’re doing. For me, teaching the middle school kids at my very first job definitely gave me the tools and foundation I needed to be able to build upon. You have to be extremely proficient at the very fundamental level every single day. That is what leads to the other types of high level performances and opportunities.

Welcome Diner, a local favorite, offers colorful cuisine, vintage-meetsmodern style and an inviting staff, which is no wonder why the diner is quickly becoming a Tucson hot-spot.

The Tucson diner is the second location for the Welcome Diner, with the original based in Phoenix.

“The Diner features the California birthed Googie architecture of Mr. Ronald Bergquist. It expresses a modernism and optimism straight outta 1964, the year the diner was built,” according to the diner’s website.

Welcome Diner is located in the former Chaffin’s building, which underwent remodeling in 2016 when it was bought and has been in operation since.

“The restaurant has a really cool appeal and aesthetic; it’s a perfect mix of retro and modern,” said Joseph Felix, a Welcome Diner regular. “The building has a classic feel but updated and modern to the times.”

It is also located in a prime Tucson location, near the Broadway Boulevard underpass that connects the road to downtown.

“As a college student, I’m always near campus or downtown,” Felix said.

“The restaurant is in a really good location where my friends and I like to come and eat or even study at. It is in a great area of town for students but also people who are wanting something to eat while downtown.”

When it comes to dining, the menu features a wide variety of cuisine from classic breakfast diner food, such as biscuits and gravy, short-rib chilaquiles and a vegan Tikki burger that includes a spiced potato patty.

The menu is sure to appeal to a wide array of tastes. If comfort food is your thing, you’ve come to the right place.

One featured item on its menu, the “No Way Jose” burger, is a favorite to customer Angel Soto.

“I think they have one of the best burgers in Tucson. They have different types of burgers that they serve and they all are really good, but the best has to be the ‘No Way Jose’ burger,” Soto said. “But you really can’t go wrong with anything you order from

New tool helps predict dust storms

BY SADIE CRUZ @DailyWildcat

Dust storms are common during summers in Southern Arizona. They are a dangerous natural occurrence that, according to the World Meteorological Organization, happen “when strong winds lift large amounts of sand and dust from bare, dry soils into the atmosphere.”

Although dust storms happen often in Southern Arizona and all around the world, they are unpredictable, but research being done in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona could be key in cracking the unpredictability of dust storms.

Ruby O’Brien-Metzger, a mechanical engineering major, is part of a team that is using a unique tool to calculate the wind speeds where dust begins to pick up.

“We call it the portable dust generator,” O’Brien-Metzger said. “The main component kind of looks like a big kitchen pot but it is upside down and the bottom part is open. The open part is placed on the soil, and an annular ring acts as a fan inside of the chamber and it blows a known wind speed onto the surface of the soil.”

O’Brien-Metzger said the portable dust generator then creates a miniature dust storm.

“There is also a sampling outlet that connects to a DustTrak, which monitors the dust concentration inside of the chamber,” O’Brien-Metzger said. “With those two main pieces, the known wind speed and the known dust concentration, we can see which wind speeds produce dust.”

The device O’Brien-Metzger and her team use in their research was designed right here at the UA. Its design was based off the Desert Research Institute’s PI-SWIRL machine.

Another factor of dust storms that O’Brien-Metzger and her team are researching is humidity.

“When an area has higher humidity, it has a higher soil moisture,” O’BrienMetzger said. “Areas with higher humidity take higher wind speeds to produce dust.”

O’Brien-Metzger and her team have tested the soil in different parts of Tucson and the surrounding area. Their biggest test subject has been Picacho Peak area and the adjacent section of I-10. They’ve found that soil that has been disturbed requires a lot less wind speed to be picked up into the air than undisturbed soil does.

ANA BELTRAN | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THIS PORTABLE DUST GENERATOR was designed here at the University of Arizona. The main goal for the generator is to predict the probability of dust storms forming in a certain areas.

Of all the areas they’ve studied, O’Brien-Metzger says that she and her team have concluded that the Picacho Peak area is more likely to generate dust storms than others.

“The soil [in the Picacho Peak area]

is really loose due to a lot of agriculture and a lot of agricultural fields that have been abandoned,” O’Brien-Metzger said. “The soil is barren and unhealthy and it takes very little wind to create dust.”

With their research, O’Brien-Metzger and her team hope to solve the puzzle of dust storms and make the roads safer.

Dust storms are notoriously

dangerous to be caught in while driving. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s 2017 Annual Crash Facts Report, 83 collisions were reported to have happened during a dust storm.

Doug Pacey, a spokesman for ADOT, says that the number one danger of driving in a dust storm is visibility.

“Visibility can drop to zero very quickly,” Pacey said. “It can be pitch black and you could be driving as if you’re blind.”

Pacey advises drivers that if they come across a dust storm while driving, they should avoid driving into the dust channel as best as they can. If drivers cannot avoid it, Pacey says the safest thing to do is: “Pull Aside, Stay Alive.”

“Pull Aside, Stay Alive” is ADOT’s official slogan for what to do if you are caught driving in a dust storm.

“If you are caught driving in a dust storm and can’t get off the road, the first thing you should do is pull as far to the right as you can,” Pacey said. “Then, you need to turn off your lights, turn off your car and take your foot off the break.”

Pacey says the safest thing for both you and other drivers to do is to hide yourself.

“By turning off your lights, you’re keeping other cars from anchoring to you and causing collisions,” Pacey said.

OPINION | WARM WEATHER

The heat is real in Tucson

BY SAM BURDETTE @samburdette4

E

very year 240 Americans die from heat-related illnesses, according to American Family Physician.

It’s something every University of Arizona student should be aware of, especially given the city we live in.

According to the National Weather Service, Tucson hit 100 degrees for the first time this year on Sunday, June 9, and it’s only going to get hotter from there.

As of Wednesday, June 12, the Tucson Fire Department has already had 23 calls involving heat-related illness, and those were just the instances initially categorized as such. It does not include people who called for a specific symptom and were eventually diagnosed with a heat-related illness, said Jessica Nolte, who works in public information and community relations at the Tucson Fire Department.

As temperatures continue to climb, it’s important to remember the heat is not something to be taken lightly.

Living in the desert, you have to learn strategies to protect yourself from the dangerous effects of exposure to the

scorching temperatures.

Sun Burns Sun burns may seem like an obvious consequence of summer, but in Tucson’s high temperatures, protecting your skin from the sun is increasingly important.

Even if you remember sunscreen, you may forget some vulnerable areas of the body. Director of Health Promotion & Preventative Services David Salafsky said that people often miss the nose, ears, back of the neck and the top of the head.

If you’re out in the sun long enough, you may get a scalp burn. In my own experience, I have been burned many times in the part of my hair.

“The best course of action is to cover up,” Salafsky said. “Wear a hat, wear a little bit longer clothing, loose-fitting clothing that’s still going to breathe.”

Heat Exhaustion While being exposed to intense heat, heat exhaustion may occur.

Heat exhaustion happens when the body’s temperature begins to rise above normal and its cooling system starts to be overwhelmed, according to Chris Don, captain of Fire Station 21.

“There can be a whole myriad of symptoms depending, but if you’re outside in the sun and you start feeling … tired, that’s when you want to get water, get out of the environment,” Don said.

According to Don, symptoms can include perspiration, headache, dizziness, high body temperature and tiredness.

Campus Health usually treats people for heat exhaustion during the summer months, especially during the hottest parts of the day, according to Salafsky.

When it comes to heat-related illnesses, “heat exhaustion is probably the most common thing [treated at Campus Health],” Salafsky said.

In terms of avoiding heat exhaustion, both Don and Salafsky stressed the importance of staying in the shade as much as possible GRAPHIC BY AMBER SOLAND | THE DAILY WILDCAT

and drinking water.

“It’s all dependent on the water,” Salafsky said.

Heat Stroke If heat exhaustion is not dealt with, it may turn into heat stroke.

“The mechanisms of your body that compensate for the heat have stopped working,” Don said, “and then you get into the heat stroke.”

While you might be able to deal with heat exhaustion without medical treatment, if heat stroke sets in, you will likely need a trip to the hospital.

Heat stroke shares symptoms with heat exhaustion, but “with heat stroke, a lot of times you’re not going to notice because you’re going to be out of it … you might be a little too far gone to notice anything,” Don said.

According to Don, once heat stroke sets in, loss of consciousness or delusion can occur. One may also stop sweating as their body’s cooling systems start to shut down.

“When you start to have [heat] exhaustion is when you’re going to be able to notice it and take steps to stop it,” Don said.

Strategies to stop heat stroke include drinking water, getting out of the heat and/or putting a cool rag on the neck, Don said.

It’s important to be smart about the local heat.

If you’re going on a hike, take lots of water and avoid setting out between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., and a cool morning does not mean a cool afternoon.

On Thursday, the day started at just 75 degrees, yet it went on to hit 107 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Additionally, if you have a preexisting condition, it may make you more susceptible to heat-related illnesses or make heat-related illnesses harder to recognize, according to Nolte.

High-rise student housing causes concern

BY NATHAN GOSNELL @DailyWildcat

Student housing developments have become a standard part of Tucson’s landscape in recent years. Aspire Tucson is being built on Tyndall Avenue next to Sol y Luna, another luxury development.

This process began in the 1990s when developers began looking into creating off-campus housing developments for students. Tucson has recently seen a growing number of these types of developments around campus, with high-rises becoming a mainstay in the immediate area.

“We’re in the path of progress, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be progress for people that live in the barrios,” said Brian Flagg, who works with the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen and the Barrio-Neighborhood Coalition in South Tucson. “If you look at how gentrification works in cities around the country, a whole bunch of people around here will get displaced.”

Off-campus housing developments, especially luxury ones often advertised in University of Arizona’s off-campus housing guides, typically feature rent prices 30-40 percent higher than average housing.

With the opening of the Honors Village in fall 2019, there will be approximately 7,540 student resident slots offered through the UA. Rent in the dorms typically ranges from $6,390 to $12,930 depending on which residence hall and the type of dorm room. These costs break down to around $700 to $1,500 a month, with the average prices reaching similar levels as the offcampus developments.

Steve Kozachik, the current council member for Ward 6, which encompasses a large area around campus, said that developers should “build within the campus footprint.”

Developers would instead work with already existing dorms or within campus grounds to build student housing developments.

“It alleviates the stress on surrounding neighborhoods,” Kozachik said.

The university rarely overhauls entire dorms to update them for affordability or to more recent standards and similar quality as the off-campus developments.

“If you did something like demolish [the Apache-Santa Cruz] dorm, which is a concrete bunker that’s about 60 years old, and build one of these things down that footprint, seems to me it makes more sense,” Kozachik said. “Student housing developers, the private sector, they can still make their cash off of something like that.”

The Honors Village is set to cost $137 million, but little has been said about other forms of potential revitalization programs.

The project is partnered with American Campus Communities, a developer and manager of student housing, to finance, construct and operate the new dorms, forming a public-private partnership and potential model for future developments moving forward.

“So, the model exists, but the reason they’re coming is that there is money to be made and they do not believe that they’ve reached saturation,” Kozachik said.

While routes for citizens do exist, Flagg criticizes that they aren’t listened to and said developers should instead be appointed by neighborhoods and have real power.

Student housing developments require a group dwelling designation, which requires specific zoning to be built. Often the process to rezone can be time-consuming, a recent case being the Benedictine Monastery, where developers decided not to build student housing after community push-back and are now going through the rezoning process.

The Honors Village development also avoided the rezoning

processes required in normal circumstances, exemplifying a key aspect of where and why high-rise developments are built.

By working with the American Campus Communities on a ground lease, the area became state land and thus exempt from city zoning laws, which, according to Kozachik, angered a lot of residents, as they bypassed the processes typically required.

“Bill Viner spearheaded and worked with [Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild] to completely redo a huge overlay zone over properties west of the U of A to allow properties to be rezoned for high-rise student housing,” said Jim Marian, a real estate agent at Chapman Lindsey who has worked on several student housing developments, including one of the first high-rise developments around campus. “[Student housing developments] are some of the only properties that there’s an overlay zone in place to do it.”

The overlay zone was adopted on Feb. 28, 2018 and established an urban overlay district within the West University area called the Main Gate District. This ordinance allowed for various height increases for certain parts of the district, reaching 14 stories at the highest point, but the zoning required at minimum 0.5 parking spaces per unit, circumventing typical parking regulations and allowing for high-rise residences with minimal parking.

By building within the campus footprint, Kozachik stated that it would alleviate stress both in rezoning processes and for the neighborhoods surrounding the campus.

The streetcar has discouraged construction of parking spaces as well, Marian said.

According to Marian, the streetcar’s construction allowed for “the ability to build high-rises where you didn’t need to meet parking requirements due to the availability of ‘walkability’ and public transportation. If the streetcar wasn’t there you’d probably have to put in five or six stories of parking garages before you could put a unit that would generate an income.”

According to Flagg, the UA is “investing in trying to get

students who can pay out-of-state tuition and who can ride the city-funded streetcar.”

Despite increasing amenities downtown and the surrounding high-rise student housing developments, these residences and new portions of downtown are inaccessible for a large portion of the Tucson population. The median household income of Tucson is $39,617, according to census data taken from 2013 through 2017. This leaves many of the developments to be housed by out-of-state students, who made up 33.2 percent of the fall 2018 enrollment numbers, typically paying $34,967 for out-of-state tuition, compared to $11,769 for in-state.

There are differing opinions on the abundance of high-rise developments. Some, like Marian, say that the benefits for downtown, especially from the streetcar, have contributed to Tucson.

“The University market is its own market,” Marian said. “It’s not going to impact Tucson and the Tucson market is not going to impact that much.”

This would leave the greater Tucson market primarily unaffected by the discrepancies in rent costs between average housing and the student housing high-rises.

Flagg also criticized governmental incentive programs like the Rio Nuevo and GPLET for offering assistance to private developments that don’t benefit the community.

“Immediately adjacent to or right in the middle of a residential area, the impacts [of student housing developments] in terms of traffic, in terms of noise, in terms of just the added density to the surrounding area is difficult for people who’ve made long term investments in their property,” Kozachik said.

“What happens 20 years from now when the demand recedes?”

There are many stakeholders involved in the process, and as developments are built, the conversation will continue from residents to government and private developers.

“People have roots in the neighborhood around here,” Flagg said. “For me, it’s not an intellectual thing, it’s a real thing.”

ARTS & LIFE | VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Helping the community, while staying close to UA

BY JAY WALKER @jayelizabethw

Volunteering is a great way for students to stay engaged in the Tucson and the University of Arizona communities over the summer.

Knowing places on and near campus can help keep the spirit of Tucson alive in you and the area.

Banner Hospital Banner — University Medical Center offers a variety of volunteer opportunities at all of its locations.

From main campus to south campus, there is an opportunity for everyone.

Cassandra Peel, senior manager of volunteer resources, guest services, retail operations and spiritual care, has overseen the volunteer program at the center for two years and ensures that there is a fit for everyone.

“We have a pet therapy program, we have a [Newborn Intensive Care Unit] cuddling program, guest services,” Peel said. “If someone has experience with oncology, we have a cancer center where we love to have people who have experience be a part of. [South campus] is our behavioral health center, so we have opportunities for behavioral health, public health education, diabetes education.”

From helping patients navigate the hospital and learning people skills to helping run the gift shop and attaining retail knowledge, Banner offers volunteer opportunities for everyone, not just prospective med students. According to Peel, the current volunteer body spans five generations, allowing for people to interact with others outside of their usual demographic.

Banner offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities for all interests.

To get involved with volunteering at the center, email bmucvolunteer@ bannerhealth.com.

Ben’s Bells Project Spending a day in Tucson without seeing the words “Be Kind” or the token green flower that usually accompanies them can be difficult, showing how integrated Ben’s Bells is in the Tucson community.

According to the Ben’s Bells website, the organization focuses on educating the public about the effects that kindness can have and encouraging people to be kind to everyone.

Volunteers can help educate and encourage others through one of two options.

Firstly, volunteers can shape and paint clay Kindness Coins, or tokens that represent kindness, at their Main Gate studio without a reservation.

Another option is to help out at the Downtown studio on Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. and help by cleaning and maintaining the building and assembling and painting ceramic items.

William Felix, resident assistant student coordinator and chair of the Community Action Through Service committee for New Start, enjoys coordinating events for New Start through Ben’s Bells because of the positive message and environment that this non-proft creates for the Tucson community and for the students who participate in New Start.

“Little acts of kindness can be what helps someone get through the day,” Felix said. “The message of ‘Be Kind’ is just really meaningful and really powerful and fun for everyone.”

Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity Tucson strives to build housing and a welcoming atmosphere for the Tucson community. According to the Habitat for Humanity Tucson website, the organization and volunteers come together to build and repair houses to help create decent and modestly priced housing for those in need.

The homes created by Habitat for Humanity are sustainable in a few senses of the word. The website explains how they are environmentally sustainable through its use of green appliances.

Homes built by the organization are also meant to be sustainable in regards to everyday life. Habitat for Humanity homes are designed to be long-lasting and comfortable enough to live in for a long time, giving people the stability they may not have had otherwise.

Julius Vellutato, Habitat for Humanity volunteer and a senior majoring in physiology at the UA, is planning on spending his summer helping the organization with building homes.

Vellutato likes to volunteer because it helps to get to know the community through action.

“I’ve remodeled for years, and I just wanted to volunteer so it made sense to me to be able to help the most [at Habitat for Humanity],” Vellutato said. “[Service] helps you get to know the community a lot better by being active.

You see more than what you would on a day to day basis.”

OPINION | REC-CLIMBING

Woodchips are going to hurt COLUMNIST

BY JON KRESAL @DailyWildcat

The Student Recreation Center has a lot of great options for people to get in shape. One of the coolest is the bouldering section. Bouldering is climbing short walls usually no more than 15 feet and is traditionally done with no harness. The Rec Center has two different boulders with changing routes so new challenges can be tackled by those looking to climb.

When looking at the bouldering area at the University of Arizona, we see that breaking peoples’ falls is nothing but wood chips. Most Bouldering Gyms have large pads for people to fall on, and when people go outside to boulder, they bring crash pads and set them under the area they are climbing.

I find the use of wood chips to be very dangerous since people fall in all sorts of weird ways when climbing. Climbing can force you to go inverted or have your feet out to side, meaning falls would have people hitting their back or chests even. This problem is furthered since holds sometimes can get loose or slick due to use and people can lose their grip on things they thought were solid.

It’s not just falling feet first and hitting a surface like this is going to hurt.

People who have bouldered before are taught to land and roll back so that the force is transferred evenly across the body and their back. This means people are slamming their backs into the wood chips and hurting themselves.

This area is also frequented by people who have never climbed before, and so proper falling and climbing technique are not shown. This can lead to them hurting themselves even worse than an experienced climber. You also see nonexperienced climbers using athletic shoes instead of climbing shoes, which makes them even more likely to take a weird fall.

This area would greatly benefit from some crash pads being set out for people to arrange so they can hit something safer. I think replacing the wood chips with something like sand would also be beneficial since sand can conform to a wide variety of falls. I really like that climbing is available at the UA, but the high risk of injury in an area like this can harm students but also people’s view of climbing overall. The fact the falls may be dangerous keeps certain students from climbing, so having these safety improvements would encourage more people to try climbing and maybe love it.

Local art is closer than expected

BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla

The University of Arizona students and faculty have a whole neighborhood of opportunity to buy local art in shops and restaurants around town.

Espresso Art Café 942 E. University Blvd.

This bar, café and hookah lounge fosters creativity through the display of local artwork.

“You can be here for hours, and still not see the amount of stuff we have here,” said Jessica Sweeney, manager of the café.

The artists decide the prices for their art, so there is a huge range for what pieces could be.

“Every time I see someone new come in, they are always in awe of what we have on the walls,” said Leon Whisenant, employee of Espresso Art Café.

The diverse café is a hotspot for finding art of all kinds.

Epic Cafe 745 N. 4th Ave. Epic Cafe has art in all forms from tipping teacups in the windows to the giant canvases that hang on its walls.

They enable local artists to show their work off to Tucson and tourists that walk Fourth Avenue.

Epic Cafe stands out because they also support charities through the sale of artwork.

“A lot of times, we have them pick a charity that is meaningful to them and then we take the commission and donate it to charity,” said Kimberly Flagg, owner of Epic Cafe. “Or, quite often, a lot of the artists are selling their work in honor of a charity.”

The blank, gray walls open up endless possibilities for artists to fill the space.

Sol Art is a vibrant space that defies a normal gallery. It’s a new addition to University Boulevard that offers a look at several mediums of art.

The owner, Barrett J. Sulkowski, opened up the gallery in May. He attended the art school at the UA and sells his work at the gallery.

“We try and market it towards more student-based,” Sulkowski said. “A student can’t drop $600 on a painting.”

Artists range from start-up,

Pop-Cycle 422 N. 4th Ave. With an eclectic array of Tucsonthemed trinkets and gifts, Pop-Cycle embraces the practice of sustainable materials in most of its handmade goods.

Locals and visitors can come in to experience art in many forms, such as jewelry, paintings, sculptures, knickknacks and even clothing. About 75-80 percent of the goods are made by local artists.

“You are buying something that is so unique that consumers are changing their mind and kind of going back to handmade and sustainable and things like that,” said Libby Tobey, one of the owners of Pop-Cycle.

Pop-Cycle stands out as a return to local buying and local art that you can’t find anywhere else but Tucson.

Brooklyn Pizza Company 534 N. 4th Ave. Brooklyn Pizza gives its customers a taste of Tucson by displaying art from local artists inside its shop.

The curator of art at Brooklyn Pizza Company, Peg Wilmore, ensures that the art rotates every three to four months so that the artists can get seen by any foot traffic and make more revenue. Art is on the walls at all times.

“I always tell my artists not to price anything over $300 because its a street venue and it’s a pizza joint, and people aren’t looking for art when they go in there,” Wilmore said.

Brooklyn Pizza Company has a variety of local art at affordable prices.

OPINION | RIDE-SHARING APPS

Which is better: Uber or Lyft?

BY MIKAYLA BALMACEDA @KaberMikayla

F

or college students without cars, it can often be hard to get places. Uber and Lyft are heavily relied on as a means of transportation, especially in college towns like Tucson.

Uber was originally founded as UberCab in 2009 and Lyft debuted in 2012 when Uber was already an international brand, according to rideshareapps.com. Uber and Lyft have become two of the strongest ridesharing companies, both founded in San Francisco, Calif. And between these two brands there has been a constant game of trying to one-up the other with better offers.

The companies, for the most part, are very similar. They both operate on an app from a person’s phone, where they can hail a ride. The basic service prices are also roughly the same. And finally, according to Ridester, both Uber and Lyft have similar customer acquisition marketing strategies.

This means whenever Lyft introduces a new driver promotion, so does Uber, or when Lyft offers new users huge amounts of free credit, Uber does the same.

The main thing most people look at when considering which app to turn to is the price surges. Price surging means that the fare prices go up during times when rider demand is greater than normal, according to Ridester. Uber calls it a Surge and Lyft calls it Prime Time.

In Tucson these surges usually occur on Thursdays and Fridays, normally from around 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. The surges obviously depend on what’s going on in town, but for nightlife in Tucson during these surge times, I normally turn to Lyft.

When there’s a large ride demand, Uber adds a surge rate multiplier on standard fares. According to Ridester, “The surge multiplier changes based on location and come up to 1.3x or 2.1x to the base, time, and distance fare.”

Lyft charges the surge fee in the form

of a percentage that gets added to the original ride amount.

Another factor that sets the two apart are the vehicle options. Uber normally caters to businesspeople and professionals and has a lot more vehicle options to choose from compared to Lyft — six versus four.

Uber has UberPOOL, which is their cheapest ride option, allowing riders to share rides with others that are on the same route.

There’s UberX that is an everyday car with room up to four people. UberXL is an SUV with up to six seats.

There’s also UberSELECT, which is a luxury sedan that seats 4 passengers.

Fianlly, there is UberBLACK and UberSUV, Uber’s original car services which offer high-end luxury and SUV vehicles that sit either four or six passengers. Lyft has basically all of these options as well, minus the luxury vehicles.

For college students, though, I think mostly pricing is what should be considered, and for students going out at night during those surges, I’d definitely recommend Lyft.

KATELYN KENNON | THE DAILY WILDCAT

LYFT VEHICLES ARE EASY to notice due to the pink mustaches attached to their bumpers. Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Thursday that would have implemented regulations for ride-sharing networks such as Lyft and Uber.

NICHOLAS TRUJILO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE UBER DRIVE APP lets you view all the reviews you have obtained from previous riders. Nicole Ochotorena, aka Mama Bear, has a 4.96 out of 5 stars on the Uber rating system. According to her, it is one of the highest ratings in Tucson.

NEWS | AFFORDABLE PROGRAM

Micro-campuses create affordable study abroad option

BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla

The University of Arizona is expanding the microcampus program to multiple regions throughout the world in to provide an education to students from a multitude of backgrounds.

It all began at Ocean University of China in 2015. This was the first micro-campus partnership with the UA and it currently offers a Bachelor’s of Arts in law from the UA and a Bachelor’s of law from Ocean University.

“We plan to launch 20 micro-campus locations by 2025, creating opportunities for students around the world to earn UA degrees,” said Cristina Castañeda, senior director of global locations at UA Global in an email. “At the same time, these locations create affordable and seamless study abroad options for students in Arizona.”

According to Brent White, vice provost of global affairs, UA Global is also looking into the possibility of expanding to Australia, Spain, South America and Northern and subSaharan Africa.

When determining locations, a variety of factors aid that decision.

“We consider student demand and the availability of suitable partner institutions in the area,” said Lisa Turker, director of Arizona Abroad Locations via email. “We consult with faculty who are regional experts to determine potential partner institutions. UA Global then assesses

each potential partner to ensure that it is the right fit for the UA.” A common goal for UA Global is to provide a U.S. education to international students who are not able to travel to the U.S. to obtain a degree.

“The fundamental goal here is to provide access to an international education to students who otherwise would not have access,” White said.

The prices of micro-campuses include UA tuition plus living costs, which in a place like Phomn Penh, for example, are much lower than Tucson. This makes micro-campuses an affordable option that is not only aimed toward wealthier students, both domestic and international, but makes room for anyone looking to earn a U.S. education.

“The micro-campus model is financially self-sustaining and revenue positive, funded by the tuition paid by students at micro-campuses,” Castañeda said.

White also elaborated on the model and discussed how the use of technological learning has impacted the program. Students can watch lectures online and then collaborate in the classroom, which drastically reduces cost while simultaneously generating revenue that circles back to the UA. Students at the UA looking to travel abroad can do so through the micro-campus program while also staying on track for a four-year degree.

With competition from already established worldwide

universities, as White said, UA is putting its foot through the door of global education.

“Our vision is that soon, as the network grows and we expand programs, that a student will be able to earn one UA degree in four different locations in four years,” White said.

Current locations in the program include: -UA Ajman at Gulf Medical University in the United Arab Emirates -UA Amman at Princess Sumaya University for Technology in Jordan -UA Jakarta in Collaboration with Sampoerna University in Indonesia -UA Phnom Penh at American University of Phnom Penh in Cambodia -UA Qingdao at Ocean University of China in China Upcoming: -UA Hanoi Law at Hanoi Law University in Vietnam -UA Lima at La Universidad Peruana de Ciencias in Peru -UA Manila at De La Salle University in the Philippines -UA Mauritius at University of Mauritius -UA Sulaimani at the American University of Iraq Sulaimani in Iraq

ARTS & LIFE | MOVIE REVIEW

‘Booksmart’ and ‘Pokémon Detective Pikachu’ bring humor to big screen

BY JAY WALKER @ jayelizabethw

With several big movies hitting the box office this summer, it’s important that we don’t overlook other noteworthy movies that have been released, such as “Booksmart” and “Pokémon Detective Pikachu.” Though they are leaving theaters, check them out as they enter stores and hit streaming networks.

“Booksmart” This film is a female-lead, queer, female directed, coming-of-age film that follows best friends Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein) as they embark on their last night as high school students. Exploring how two girls who were all work and no play in high school dip their toes into the party scene the night before graduation, “Booksmart” manages to capture how the next generation is emerging into the world.

This movie is one of the first I have seen where there is a lesbian protagonist whose main trait was not being gay and it was refreshing. Amy was portrayed as a studious kid and supportive best friend who just so happened to be gay.

They treated Amy’s love story like they

H

would a heterosexual one, causing it to stand out from most other gay-lead films. It didn’t hit you over the head with her coming out and she wasn’t seen as the one gay character.

Slut-shaming and being complicit in it is something that has been prevalent throughout my life and my generation. Recently, I have seen media try to move away from slutshaming and instead encourage women’s sexuality, as promoted by UNESCO and its empowering women in media focus.

“Booksmart” points out how slut-shaming directly impacts one of the teenage girls.

Spoiler alert: In the end, the character nicknamed “Triple A” reveals that being called this degrading nickname — referring to prior sexual experiences — hurt her feelings, especially when other girls like Molly also called her that nickname.

Molly’s feeling regret for calling the girl Triple A and apologizing for being mean helps to support the idea that women should empower and support one another, especially when others are trying to put them down.

Along with promoting women supporting women, “Booksmart” captures a healthy female friendship that exudes platonic love. I always find it refreshing to watch a movie featuring a female friendship and was pleasantly surprised by Molly and Amy’s

“Pokémon Detective Pikachu” Light-hearted and witty with an important message, “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” follows Detective Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) and Tim Goodman (Justice Smith ) as they solve Pikachu’s amnesia and Tim’s father’s death.

Tim is the only person in the movie who can understand Pokémon, specifically his father’s Pokémon Pikachu.

This movie deals with friendship and loneliness in a way that isn’t daunting for kids.

Tim had been alone in the world, even before his dad died. Throughout the movie, he finds friendship in Pikachu and another Pokémon trainer, a reporter named Lucy Stevens (Kathryn Newton).

“Pokémon Detective Pikachu” shows that people can always find a friend, even with someone unlikely. By delicately addressing the concept of loneliness, this film gives hope to those who watch it that they are not always going to be lonely and can find their person.

Family is another theme that “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” explores, as Tim learns

about his estranged father’s life by investigating his supposed murder.

Spoiler Alert: When Tim discovers that his father was merged with Pikachu the entire time, he realizes that he was able to get even closer to his father than he planned.

This message of family instills the idea that people should never give up on those who mean a lot to them, which can be important to younger kids. The underlying message of “never give up on family” is presented lightly and brightly, making it easy to observe.

“Pokémon Detective Pikachu” may be a kids’ movie, but the messages and humor it contains are for everyone.
