Planned Parenthood declared Tuesday to be National Pink Out Day, and UA students advocated for the organization by hosting a Pink Out event on the UA Mall in response to the 241 House Representatives who voted to defund Planned Parenthood on Sept. 18. UA’s VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood hosted the Pink Out on the mall, providing free items, such as condoms and stickers, and offered ways for students to show their support for Planned Parenthood. Students could sign cards for the local Planned Parenthood in Tucson, take pictures with their signs and hashtags and receive information about Planned Parenthood and its mission. VOX President Anna Keen said that engaging students, advocating for reproductive rights and getting students more involved on campus and raising political awareness is its mission. Keen, who has been volunteering with Planned Parenthood since she was 14, said she’s seen the organization go through a lot, especially with cuts to funding. Planned Parenthood should be supported and not defunded, Keen said, because it is an amazing organization that provides support and life-saving healthcare to millions of people around the world everyday, giving patients everything from cancer screenings to education about preventing teen pregnancy. “Sometimes I get frustrated with the government, but I do believe that we can fight back, that we will stay resilient and that we’re fighting for a good cause,” Keen said. Keen said VOX wanted to advocate as much as possible and show that students vote and care about Planned Parenthood. She said that everyone can support the cause simply by having those important conversations about why reproductive justice is necessary and about their feelings concerning certain

issues surrounding Planned Parenthood. Feminists Organized to Resist, Create, Change, and Empower worked alongside VOX to give support, help people register to vote and give them the opportunity to write letters to representatives. Margot Luna, a sophomore studying political science and French, as well as a FORCE intern, explained why she stands with Planned Parenthood. “I support Planned Parenthood because I don’t think we have a right to tell women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies,” Luna said. “I think to take that choice away from women is to degrade them to the lowest point imaginable.” Margarita Abad, an engineering junior, said she came to the Pink Out event because she believes Planned Parenthood is one of the few clinics that offers affordable quality care, which she believes is critical after her mother was diagnosed with cancer months
after not receiving quality care. Abad said her mom could have received less chemotherapy, had fewer surgeries and spent less time at the hospital if she would have been able to go to a clinic with quality care in the first place. “The reason I’m out here is because I feel like the people who are voting to defund Planned Parenthood don’t really understand the ramifications this is going to have on all women—especially on women with low- income status, who rely on Planned Parenthood services for reproductive and general health,” said FORCE intern Melissa Quiceno, a senior studying speech, language and hearing science. ACommunity organizer for Planned Parenthood, Raíz Melissa Garcia, was also in attendance and represented Planned Parenthood at the Pink Out event on the mall. Planned Parenthood Raíz is a program that focuses on Latino communities by making sure that they are not only aware of the
services the organization offers, but also spurring the community into action. “I believe college students should get engaged with [Planned Parenthood] not only to educate themselves, but to bring awareness on the importance of taking care of yourself,” Garcia said. Garcia graduated from college two years ago and said she relied on basic services from Planned Parenthood, such as education on how to take of herself and know her body, because her parents always thought it was a taboo topic. “I believe that, as a woman, I have [my] own choice of what to do with my body, and I will continue to fight for having that right,” Garcia said. “People should support Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood is there for you regardless of your color, regardless of your status and always cares, no matter what.” — Follow Chastity Laskey @ChastityLaskey

Students set sail in the Caribbean by chastity laskey The Daily Wildcat
Arizona in the French Caribbean is a new study abroad option offered to UA students that wish to travel abroad and earn direct UA credit. This five-week summer program will be offered in Fort-de-France, Martinique, and is a collaboration between the Africana Studies Program and the French and Italian department. Jennifer Donahue, faculty lead and Africana studies visiting assistant professor, said she is very excited for this actionpacked program that will give students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Caribbean. Africana Studies majors will be given preference, but this is an opportunity for students who are interested in the program to possibly receive some extra funding. There are 11 competitive awards of $1,500 available for the program, according to Alain-Philippe Durand, director of the School of International Languages, Literatures and Cultures.

Fort-de-France, Martinique, as viewed from an arriving ship on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. The UA now offers a study abroad program in Martinique.
Donahue said there will be excursions almost every weekend to many different historical sites, including rum distilleries and slave museums, as well as beach tours and hiking trips. “I think going there and seeing some of these sites where slaves were sold and
seeing where people worked in the fields really gives you an appreciation of the past,” Donahue said. Rudo Sandy, Study Abroad Programs coordinator, said this is an exciting program and a great opportunity for students to get general education credits out of the way and
take a year’s worth of French in five weeks. Students who go will be able to earn a total of six units in either accelerated French or in Africana Studies. “Why wouldn’t you want to do your gen eds in the Caribbean? Martinique is a really great blend of both French and Caribbean culture, and you’ll get to learn about the history and literature of the region,” Sandy said. Donahue said students will have the option to choose an apartment or homestay and that the home-stay would be a good choice if taking French, because it will provide a more immersive experience. “I think a lot of people have misconceptions about the Caribbean and think of it as a place of paradise and relaxation, which it is, but it’s so much more,” Donahue said. May 21 through June 25 are the tentative dates for the program. Visit the Global Initiatives website for more information.

Rise and shine with UA’s ROTCs BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE
The Daily Wildcat
It was 5:30 on a Thursday morning—by college standards, the middle of the night. Yet, a strange phenomenon took place outside of Bear Down Gym. The midshipmen of UA’s Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps were assembled, equipped with running shoes and workout gear. They may have been tired, but the NROTCs didn’t show it as they grinned knowingly at one another. The rest of the world may have the luxury of sleep, but the NROTCs have something more valuable—discipline. That Thursday morning was physical training. The group of about 142 midshipmen broke into platoons of 30 and headed to different activities. One platoon was doing circuit training on the basketball court next to South Hall. On a whiteboard read a list of all the activities and reps they had to complete, reminiscent of a CrossFit class. The midshipmen dispersed to different stations and immediately began working out. They used rowing machines, did pull-ups, squats and triceps dips. One group of four picked up a large log and went for a jog with it lifted above their heads, while another group took turns tethering themselves to weights and sprinting the width of the basketball court. The routine looked rigorous, but the midshipmen did it with ease. Physical training isn’t to get one into shape; it’s to see how in shape one is. The NROTCs are expected to work out on their own time. Of the 142 midshipmen, about 40 are Marine options. Their physical training requirements are more rigorous, so they have PT three times a week compared to the normal two. Marine option Sean Powell, a junior studying history and philosophy, said the hardest thing about the program is “the extra commitments you have to make outside of school.” General PT is at 5:45 a.m. Monday and Thursday, while extra PT is Tuesday for the underclassmen who are not meeting physical requirements. Wednesday is uniform day and the midshipmen line up at 6 a.m. in full uniform to be inspected and then briefed in the auditorium for an hour. Then, from 7-8 a.m., they march on the field working on precision. Of the four midshipmen interviewed, all were taking 17 to 19 units this semester. Besides classes, many take on leadership roles within the ROTC program, and some, like Cynthia Morton, juggle jobs as well. Morton, a sophomore studying Arabic and political science with a minor in naval science, said that having extra activities all the time can be stressful, but she has learned to manage her time. “I’ve never felt like giving up or like this isn’t going to be worth it,” Morton said. All NROTCs are required to get a minor in naval science. Every semester, they take a three-unit class that ranges in subject matter from introductory naval science to ships, weapons, navigation, the history of the Navy and leadership/management training. “They’re actually pretty easy courses relative to my other classes, but they’re really interesting. … They’re
all taught by our officers, so the officers enhance the course with their past experience,” Morton said. Each NROTC was drawn to the program for a different reason. Some, like Morton, were involved in junior ROTC programs in high school and have military backgrounds, while others, like sophomore Kaitlin Burleson, were attracted by the full-ride scholarships offered by the NROTC. For those who qualify for a scholarship, ROTC programs are a great opportunity to get a college degree and then become an officer in the military, which comes with higher pay and respect than what enlisted members receive. The midshipmen compete nationally for scholarships, contracts and eventually jobs. While many freshmen join the program with scholarships, those who do not have scholarships are allowed to join, but by the end of sophomore year all NROTCs need a scholarship or a contract from the Navy to be able to continue with the program. Scholarships, contracts and job assignments are awarded based on academics, physical fitness and military aptitude, which includes leadership ability as well as the ability to take orders. Alessandro Marafino, a geography senior and Marine option, is referred to by the other midshipmen as commander. As commander, Marafino leads the entire company of NROTCs and is looked to for guidance. The student chain of command, he said, is meant to act as a leader for students before they reach the fleet. There are 15 staff members on active military duty who supervise the NROTC program, but the program is largely student run. One staff member, Lt. Mickey Rhades, said that all the NROTCs here are working toward a commission: appointment by the president. The NROTCs can apply to several different communities within the Navy—aviation, surface warfare, submarine, special warfare like the Navy Seals or the Marine Corps. Of the communities, the submarine community requires the most technical skill. According to Col. Wall, head of the UA NROTC program, all midshipmen with the degree program—math, engineering, physics, etc.—and grades—often 3.8 GPA or above—are screened for the nuclear submarine program. Those who pass the screening are then interviewed by the highest-ranking nuclear officer in the Navy. The officers selected will go on to study nuclear propulsion, as all naval submarines are powered by nuclear reactors. About 80 percent of the NROTC program is male students, so it can be a little tougher for female students. “It’s a little harder to earn the respect of people, especially men,” Burleson said. It may be a lot of work, but the NROTC provides a community for students. When asked to describe her relationship with the other midshipmen, Morton said, “Family. Mostly like brothers. Like having a bunch of goofy brothers that do stupid stuff because it’s mostly guys.” — Follow Michelle Jaquette @MichelleJaquet

Police Beat Compiled by meghan fernandez
Tales from Coronado part I A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from Coronado Residence Hall regarding a very intoxicated female student who needed a medical evaluation. When the officer arrived at Coronado, a student Emergency Medical Services responder was evaluating the unconscious student. She wasn’t replying to questions and spoke incoherently when she could. Another female student, who helped take care of the intoxicated student, said she was at a party offcampus when she found the other female student in a bathroom at the house. The conscious student, after finding the drunk female student in the bathroom, called a taxi for the both of them to return to Coronado. Tucson Fire Department also came to Coronado to evaluate the intoxicated student, and because she was still unresponsive, they took her to the hospital for extreme intoxication. The officer who initially responded to the call came to the hospital to check on the student’s condition a few hours later, and she was still unconscious. The officer could smell alcohol on her. The female student was diverted to the Dean of Students for a minor in possession of alcohol in the body. Tales of Coronado part II A UAPD officer reported to Coronado Residence Hall regarding the smell of marijuana coming from one of the residences. When the officer arrived at the room, he could smell marijuana near the door. The officer then knocked on the door, and a male student answered. The officer asked if he was the resident of the room, which the student affirmed. The student approved the officer’s request to enter the room, and the officer reported an intensified smell of marijuana inside the residence. The student’s roommate was in the shower, so the officer knocked on the bathroom door, letting the other resident know who he was. He asked if the showering roommate could come out of the bathroom to talk. The officer asked the resident who was not in the shower if there was marijuana in the room, and he said they hadn’t been smoking marijuana. The officer followed up with another question, asking what specifically they were smoking. The resident proceeded to show the officer an electronic cigarette that contained a substance the officer identified as marijuana wax. He asked the resident if it was wax—the student confirmed. At this time, the other resident came out of the bathroom. The officer began to read the residents their Miranda rights when the resident who revealed the wax said the electronic cigarette and the wax were his friend’s who allowed him to use them, but didn’t provide any more information about his friend. The officer initially arrested the resident who said his friend let him use the wax for possession of a narcotic drug because it appeared that there was a lot of wax in the cigarette. He was taken to a Pima County jail. After further inspection, the officer found the e-cigarette did not cotain that much wax, and the cigarette was only paraphernalia. The officer had the charge switched to possession of drug paraphernalia. Both residents received Code of Conduct violations and were sent to the Dean of Students.

One-year goals included: integration of resources across Health Sciences’ colleges and medical centers, recruitment of a new Cancer Center director, filling key leadership positions at the College of Medicine – Tucson campus, as well as forming advisory councils in four established areas of excellence to ensure that the institution stays on the right path. “We’ve accomplished every one of these goals,” Garcia said. He then moved on to Health Sciences’ progress on its five-year goals: improving the institution’s biomedical research portfolio, improving Health Sciences’ college ranking in national metrics, competing for the Clinical and Translational Science Award, increasing the number of physician scientists and increasing diversity across the institution as a whole. “I think we have had really, really significant progress in each of these,” Garcia said. He then detailed how Health Sciences has
News •September 30-October 1, 2015 worked to achieve its five-year goals, taking time to outline each initiative and stepping stone that the institution needs to take to meet its own expectations. The goal of increasing the biomedical research portfolio is a fraction of a larger goal set by the Arizona Board of Regents. According to the UA’s Never Settle strategic plan, the Board of Regents challenged Health Sciences to double its 2010 research portfolio of roughly $600,000 to $1.2 billion in 2020. “A pretty unbelievably audacious goal, I would say,” Garcia said. “We had a number of years of declining research revenues, including a pretty dramatic decline from 2012 to 2013. I’m very happy to say that we’ve weathered that decline.” Garcia also noted an increasing trend of research expenditures, moving the institution closer to its $1.2 billion goal. Garcia was able to report improvements in all the areas that goals were set, with the exception of one—increasing the number of physician scientists. “We have just a ton of work to do in this area,”
Garcia said. There is a large demand from researchers for clinical collaborators to assist in their work, a job that is usually filled by physician scientists. Unfortunately, Health Sciences doesn’t have enough physician scientists to go around, which is putting researchers in a tight spot. Garcia’s answer to this problem is to expand the college’s M.D./Ph.D. program, taking a program that in the past has only produced one physician scientist a year and increasing its numbers to eleven this year. This would create the opportunity for an eventual influx of physician scientists in the future. Wrapping up his address, Garcia summarized the Banner — Health University Medical Center merger. The merger, which was finalized in February of this year, was described by Garcia as an absolute necessity. In the years leading up to the merger, the center was operating at profit margin that varied between zero and 2 percent. . In the 2014 fiscal year, the institution lost $41

Scientists study Mt. Graham squirrels BY Pearl Lam
The Daily Wildcat
Imagine standing at the top of one of Tucson’s Sky Islands, 10,720 feet above ground, surrounded by moist, green forests of pines and Douglas-firs. One such Sky Island is Mount Graham, and at the stroke of dawn, UA researchers hop into their vehicles and venture into these forests to collect valuable information on one special endangered animal: the Mount Graham red squirrel. According to Dr. John Koprowski, a professor of wildlife-fisheries sciences and director of the Mount Graham Red Squirrel Project, the mountain has an isolated population of just 300 individuals of the MGRS, a red squirrel subspecies named Tamiasciurus hudsonicus grahamensis. A paper published in the 1960s once declared the MGRS extinct, and UA astronomers began plans in 1988 to construct telescopes in the region the squirrels used to inhabit. In 1972, hikers observed the squirrel before construction of the UA telescopes was complete. “As a result, there was a conflict,” Koprowski said, “because the mountain was both a habitat for a federally endangered species as well as an ideal location for people interested in building telescopes.” The UA instituted the MGRS Project in the 1980s to resolve this dispute, which allowed the scientists to conduct both conservation biology and astronomy research in the same region without invading the territory of endangered squirrels. Insects and forest fires have damaged the MGRS habitat over the years, which has motivated researchers to learn as much about the squirrels as they can. With just 300 of the endangered squirrels inhabiting the highest and currently most

researched elevations of the mountain, Koprowski said we can learn to manage and conserve rare species. “Using both radio monitoring and live animal capture, the MGRS team can observe the population’s growth and decline. In particular, “radio telemetry collects a lot of our animal tracking data because our presence will not influence an animal’s behavior,” said Melissa Merrick, doctoral candidate and wildlife biologist.. This technique allows MGRS researchers to estimate an animal’s location via radio signal such that humans do not impose on
animal territory. After years of observation, researchers found this subspecies is unique for being a “larder hoarder,” which collects things and stores them in single specific locations for future use. “Most squirrels you see in stores or TV commercials are species that collect seeds under a tree and spread them out, which is called ‘scatter hoarding,’ ” Koprowski said. Scatter hoarders, on the other hand, spread out food so predators have a hard time finding it. If anything were to approach the territory of a larder hoarder, such as the MGRS, the squirrel
would show aggressive behavior to protect its resources without hesitation. MGRS researchers say the squirrel’s population fluctuates seasonally between spring and winter, but stabilizes annually. As a single subspecies isolated at such high elevations, however, researchers warn that these animals may be another signal of climate change.

UA professor launches space board game BY Varuska Patni
The Daily Wildcat
Dr. Dante Lauretta, a UA planetary sciences professor, has recently invented a board game called “Xtronaut: The Game of Solar System Exploration.” The game is in its final stages of entering the commercial market and is currently raising money on Kickstarter. Lauretta teaches courses about meteorites and the origins of the solar system to undergraduate and graduate students. He originally began his planetary science path when he received a NASA Undergraduate Research Space Grant in 1992, which propelled his career. Currently, his Kickstarter campaign has met its funding goal
and raised over $20,000. Lauretta plans to use funding from the campaign to improve the graphic art of the game. The board game is a table-top game involving a deck of cards. The objective is to build a rocket and launch a spacecraft somewhere in the solar system. The players earn points for how the spacecraft is built and for the target of where it launched. Players in the game can also use event cards that help them draw more parts for their spacecraft or can sabotage other players. These events, and the board game itself, are based upon Lauretta’s experience with NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. Lauretta is the principal investigator of the mission that is launching in September 2016 to collect a sample of an asteroid called Bennu and return it to Earth. “The board game is a good way to combine my board-game
playing hobby with my education mission,” Lauretta said. For over five decades, the UA has been a leader in solar system exploration, and this game helps to highlight these accomplishments. Lauretta hopes the game will raise awareness about planetary exploration to the Tucson community, and ultimately to a much larger audience worldwide. “Xtronuat” can be preordered on Kickstarter, where customers can purchase exclusive rewards. The campaign ends on Oct. 12, and the game is scheduled to ship in May 2016. — Follow Veruska Patni @DailyWildcat

Udall fellows hope to help environment BY ALEXANDRIA FARRAR The Daily Wildcat
Integrating scientific findings with public policy is necessary to get action underway in an increasingly environmentally aware world, and UA faculty are on top of it. The Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy at the UA has recently announced that its fellows are striving to use their scientific research to inform civic and private policy. The Udall Center tries to achieve its mission by sponsoring “policyrelevant, interdisciplinary research” and “forums that link scholarship and education with decisionmaking,” according to its website. In this case, interdisciplinary means both physics and geography, pooling the talent of physics professor Alex Cronin and School of Geography and Development professor Sallie Marston.

quantum optics to make solar power a more reliable resource. By doing so, Cronin said he hopes to see an increase in solar usage as a source of energy. “I’m most interested in how we can use forecasts to create a policy by which utility companies have the right amount of backup power,” Cronin said. He will essentially try to integrate solar power with efficient backup supply, such as gas, to account for the fact that solar can essentially be shut off by factors such as cloud cover at any time. Cronin said his inspiration came when he was studying the outputs from his own solar panels at his home. “The power supply dropped by half in as quick as three or four seconds,” Cronin said. “That’s happening routinely when clouds pass by individual rooftops. I started studying that because it’s a hobby. I was also fascinated by how partial shade makes a huge impact.” California is estimating that 40 percent of all its power in the future will be solar. Cronin is interested in matching Arizona’s 2025 goal, which is currently estimated at 15 percent

solar power, with California’s high outlook. “There’s a huge growth in wind and solar power for electricity, in Arizona in particular, and all across the world, really,” Cronin said. Marston shares Cronin’s optimism for increased success in environmentalism and cited its impact on personal well-being. She intends to improve the inner lives of students attending low-income schools, where more than 75 percent of the students are enrolled in free and reduced lunch plans. Many of the children suffer anxiety and agitation as a result of monetary stress. “If you can’t sit in your seat because you’re so on edge—because of what happened at home, or because you don’t know what’s going to happen last week [with] fighting, or drug use or whatever it might be—you can’t be present,” Marston said.

Math explains sheep and Mars has water Martian cowabunga No, it wasn’t aliens. NASA’s big announcement on Monday didn’t provide the flash of a science fiction movie, but its discovery was just as aweinspiring. NASA scientists have discovered that liquid water exists on the surface of Mars. This groundbreaking discovery means it would be possible for Mars to sustain life. According to CNN, researchers made use of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to come to their conclusion and find the telltale signs of light waves associated with the planet’s water. The lead author on the study was UA alumnus Lujendra Ojha, who first identified the streaks that absorb light at wavelengths associated with chemicals used to pull water as an undergraduate student at the UA in 2011.
at that blood-red moon, you not only had time to wonder about life and your place in this crazy world, but also maybe asked yourself: just what is going on? Well, here are the answers; everything you’ve ever wanted to know about an eclipse, and maybe more. No promises. The moon turned red because light was bent around the edge of the Earth. That light was reflected onto the moon. Well, there’s the light part, but why red? As that light traveled through our atmosphere, light with shorter wavelengths became phased out, leaving the remaining colors, red and orange, to hit the moon. If you were not one of the many people who flocked outside Sunday night to get a glimpse at the lunar eclipse, you missed your chance until 2033. That’s the next time a lunar eclipse and a supermoon—when the moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit— will fall on the same day.

people have become ill with Legionnaires’ disease recently. These new cases are not related to the summer’s outbreak, which affected 120 people. An investigation into this new cluster has begun, and the city is taking the necessary precautions to combat the problem. So far, the number diagnosed has been low, according to Scientific American. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 8,000 and 18,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized each year due to Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is caused by a bacteria from the Legionella genus. Patients with the disease experience symptoms similar to pneumonia. Snowless in Sierra Nevada It might be common knowledge to some, but the snowpack of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California has been reduced to its lowest point in 500 years. Not only is this concerning, but so is the fact that researches are not optimistic about it being replenished in the near future.
The effects of a hard winter cause a lack of water, which is used in a variety of ways in the spring, namely replenishing streams and reservoirs and providing water for vegetation. As the winter months, which have been abnormally dry, turn to spring and summer, there will be an even greater demand for water in the region. Valerie Trouet a UA professor for the Labratory of Tree-Ring Research said in an interview with LiveScience that humancaused climate change is a potential cause of the severity of the drought. She came to that conclusion after she and her colleagues conducted a study following California Gov. Jerry Brown’s decision to enact water restrictions for the state. Trouet and her colleagues used treering measurements and historical snowfall data to conduct the study. Math finally explains sheep Scientists have come up with an equation that can describe the behavior patterns of Merino sheep while in a herd.
According to a report by researchers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an equation has been made to determine how sheep move. Needless to say, the possibilities with this discovery are endless. Just imagine all the fun young science enthusiasts can have over summer break with a herd of sheep and the power of math. “The results suggest that a herd of sheep may exist in a delicate balance, close to a ‘tipping point’ between dispersing and huddling together,” said Andrea Cavagna, statistical physicist for the Institute for Complex Systems of the National Research Council in Rome, in an interview with ScienceNews. Results gathered from researches showed that a group of 100 sheep slowly began drifting apart while grazing. Then, unprompted, the group would suddenly spring back together — Follow Daniel Burkart @Daniel_Burkart

‘Zero tolerance’ policies taken too far BY Apoorva Bhaskara The Daily Wildcat
N
o butter knives, no leaves and no clocks, according to zero tolerance policies enforced among many school districts across the country. These policies, which began as a way to crack down on drug use, weapon use and general violence, have morphed into a system that unnecessarily punishes innocent children for ridiculous reasons. Recently, a high school freshman named Ahmed Mohamed was suspended and arrested for bringing a clock he had constructed to school after it was mistaken for a bomb by one of his teachers. “While it’s possible Islamophobia played a role in the arrest of Ahmed Mohamed, other
important factors were likely at play as well,” wrote Dr. Maha Nassar, an assistant professor of modern Middle Eastern history and Islamic studies at the UA, in an email. “One is that ‘zero tolerance’ policies at schools in general have been taken to absurd levels in recent years.” Even after the school and the authorities determined that the clock was of no threat to anyone, the suspension was not revoked. Even harsher at times than the judicial system, zero tolerance seems to mean guilty until proven innocent—but even after proven innocent, they’re still guilty. Just last year, a 6th grader in Virginia received a one-year suspension after the school found a leaf in his backpack that resembled marijuana. Even after it was determined that it was simply a Japanese Maple Tree leaf, the suspension still held. After six months, he was allowed to attend an alternative school with students who got into serious trouble in the past, but would have
his backpack searched everyday for drugs. His parents decided to homeschool him instead, since their previously cheerful, gifted and talented student began suffering from panic attacks and depression. How can schools possibly justify the punishment of innocent kids to such extreme lengths? Why is there no reciprocal protocol for rectifying a situation or using common sense to determine whether the child is actually a threat to the school? The reasoning behind these allegations is that zero tolerance policies treat look-alikes as the real deal: toy gun equals real gun. The policy is to prevent kids from issuing threats or distributing drugs, even if they are fake. However, they clearly do not know how to handle situations in which there is no threat, real or fake. A middle school student from Massachusetts was suspended two years ago for bringing a butter knife to school to cut her pear. Any reasonable person could see that she did not mean any harm and would have given her a
warning or simply taken away the butter knife; however, since knives of any kind are not allowed on school grounds, the school suspended her, essentially ruining her school record. In lieu of all the school shootings and violence that have taken place, schools have enacted stricter regulations, but they cast a net so wide that no student is safe from their rulings. While it can potentially stop bullying, how easy would it be for a student to plant a leaf or a butter knife in another student’s backpack and then accuse them of carrying banned paraphernalia? The very rules designed to protect the students are punishing them, and the administrators have left their common sense locked up safely in a vault so far underground that it cannot be reached by the light of day. Let’s dig up our logic and once again make schools places of rational thought. — Follow Apoorva Bhaskara @apoorvabhaskara
It’s about the music, not race in Verdi’s “Otello” BY Graham Place The Daily Wildcat
A
big change has come to the Metropolitan Opera, the country’s most prominent opera company. The company is currently performing a production of Giuseppe Verdi’s “Otello,” based on William Shakespeare’s “Othello.” Otello, the protagonist of the story, is a general in the Venetian military. He secretly marries the beautiful Desdemona, the daughter of a Venetian senator. The antagonist, Iago, attempts to lead Otello into believing his wife is having an affair. In classic Shakespearean fashion, jealousy and manipulation abound, and most of the characters are betrayed by the person they trusted the most.
The Met’s current Otello is played by Aleksandrs Antonenko, a Latvian tenor known for his big, booming voice and dramatic performances. Unlike Othello, Antonenko is white. For over 120 years, the Met has cast white men as Otello, and in an effort to make them look more like Shakespeare’s Moorish character, painted them with stage makeup called Otello Brown. Why not simply cast people of color to play characters like Shakespeare’s Othello? Often, it’s simply not possible. Verdi’s opera demands a tenor lead that has both the ability and the stylistic training to accurately perform the role of Othello, and these men are not easily found. And as it stands, all of them are white. The tradition of “blacking up” white singers has brought forth calls of racism and comparisons to the blatantly offensive blackface performances that stereotyped African-Americans in the 19th

century. “Otello” cannot tell the same story if the main character is white. The marriage between a white military man and the white Desdemona isn’t controversial or even worth noting. Iago’s hatred of Otello no longer has racist undertones, and Otello wouldn’t struggle to navigate Venetian high society as a white man. The themes of racism in the story are important and relevant as we continue to strive as a society to move past our racist history. Art is valuable because it gives us a chance to reflect on who we are and where we came from. If we sacrifice art for the sake of political correctness, we give up the opportunity to learn and grow as a culture. We don’t close museums or burn books because their content doesn’t align with modern thought. We study them, frame them with historical context; and learn from them.

alters the meaning of the work and denies our history. Professor Beth Greenberg of the UA School of Music is directing “The Mikado,” a Victorian operetta that has been in the news recently after being cut from a noted company’s winter lineup due to concerns over racism and the stereotyping of Japanese characters. “Our politically correct world has been super-sensitized to racial bias and hatred,” Greenberg notes. “But this exists in many classic works and informs us of the attitudes of the time, and how the authors wrote the character in his situation. It’s important to understand the context and the origins of racism.” “The Mikado” has racism ingrained within it, but the intent of the performers is not to be racist. Their intent is to perform a work that was created over a century ago, to teach audiences about a culture different than their own and to keep art alive. To address the sensitivities of
audiences that may be offended by the content of works like “Otello” and “The Mikado,” Greenberg suggests that the program notes should include the historical context of the piece and a statement clarifying that the production is authentic to the original. This complicated issue has no easy answer. To choose political correctness is to choose devaluing art. To choose authenticity of performance is to choose embracing racist themes of the past. We need a paradigm shift—a new understanding that art is history. We can learn from it if we contextualize it and understand why its creator made the choices he or she did. We can grow as a society only when we approach art, not with pointed fingers, but with open minds.

Low participation shows complacency on campus BY Genesis Lara
The Daily Wildcat
T
he Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Misconduct, conducted by the Association of American Universities, contained important findings about which groups are targeted the most for sexual assault and how the students felt about security and support at the UA. “Sexual assault and misconduct is a significant issue for the [UA,] and some people are more affected than others,” wrote President Ann Weaver Hart in an email regarding the survey. During the subsequent UA press briefing, Melissa Vito, senior vice president for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and senior vice provost for Academic Initiatives and Student Success, explained that while the survey confirmed what they already knew, it also pointed out key areas in which more effort needs to be placed. According to the survey, students seem able to confide in the services and help provided by the university, but it was the lack of support among students themselves that was reported as an area that needs improvement. Even though the UA had a fairly low survey response rate of 8 percent, Vito explained at the press briefing that the survey “hit right at … Spring Fling and took us to the week before courses ended,” which impacted participation, especially considering the length of the survey. The low survey participation may be excused with the university’s busy schedule during that time period; however, it does not excuse other findings concerning the students’ participation in helping combat sexual assault. Out of 22 percent of surveyed students who witnessed someone acting in a sexually violent or harassing manner, 58 percent did nothing about it, according to the survey. The survey also found that 45 percent of surveyed students had witnessed a drunken person heading for a sexual encounter, but 77 percent of those students did nothing to help. For both of these findings, a small portion claimed to not know what to do about it. Although there wasn’t any given reason for the rest of the students who didn’t take action upon what they witnessed, it shows that we are not taking these situations seriously enough to
“
educate ourselves about it. Imagine all the people students could have saved from becoming sexual assault victims had they actually taken the time to educate themselves about how to help. We expect our schools to be the heroes and magically save us from sexual assault around campus, but we’re not willing to do our part in the effort to combat it ourselves. The school offers a variety of services for victims and even those who feel threatened, including academic accommodations, changes in residence halls and supportive counseling. “Reporting is so important to us because then students have a range of options available to them that they may not just intuitively know about,” said Mary Beth Tucker, Title IX coordinator and assistant vice president for Equity Compliance. Victims aren’t required to press charges against their abusers after reporting, but reporting these incidents is crucial in helping those victimized. Not only do we decide to be oblivious of suffering that sexual assault brings to its victims, but we also actually support it in an indirect manner. There is such a strong stigma surrounding this issue that it keeps so many from reporting their abusers. Instead of shaming those who have committed the crime, we tend to shame the victims by making them feel as if they are to blame for what happened. I’ve heard the phrase “she was asking for it” enough to confirm some people’s ignorance towards the issue. There is absolutely no type of setting and no type of clothing that make it acceptable for a person to make sexual contact with another without their consent. With the advent of the national campaign It’s On Us and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s new I Will campaign, which is still in the works, the resources are there, and we simply seem to be ignoring them. We cannot keep taking these issues so lightly and expect our school to be our hero all the time, and we cannot keep punishing victims for another person’s crime. Instead, we need to educate ourselves and be prepared to be our own heroes, or to be one for someone else who may need a hand.

86% of UA students drink one night or less per week. (2015 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,705)
Why do people get the spins and how can you make it stop? The “why” and “how” are frequently asked questions and while you can find many causation theories out there, there is no evidence beyond good guesses as to why drinkers get the spins. For those readers who’ve never experienced this, it’s best described as feeling as if the room is spinning uncontrollably, leading to feeling nauseous and likely followed by vomiting. Think of it as an extreme hangover symptom. People who have experienced the spins have nothing good to say about it. Drinking too much can lead to room spins but researchers are not 100% sure how the process works. A common theory (simplified here) involves tiny, tiny hairs in the swollen inner ear that send an electric signal to nerves – which in turn signal the brain, creating a sense of motion. You experience it as a spinning sensation. Another theory is that tiny eye muscles convulse with excessive alcohol use,
The other part of the answer is that there is no “cure” or way to make it stop once the spinning starts, as time is the only answer to getting back from this abyss. In other words, waiting for your high Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) to lower will get the spins to stop. Some sufferers have offered suggestions that help them but there’s no evidence to support they work. The Red Cup Q&A offers them in the event it helps you feel a bit better: drink water, sit down, or lie down with at least one foot on the floor to ground yourself, and don’t look at the moving ceiling fan! And stop drinking (actually, you’ll be too sick to accept further drink offers). Anecdotal evidence from drinker selfreports indicates they experience spins when they drink too much or more than usual. It’s your body’s way of saying “enough.” Prevention is definitely the way to go on this one.

Injuries continue to plague ‘Cats BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
T
here’s an old phrase in Tucson, “When it rains, it pours.” This is due to the infamous monsoon season every summer in Southern Arizona, because Tucson is as dry as a bone 10 months out of the year, and the rainy season puts the Old Pueblo under water. This phrase can also describe the plague of injuries on Arizona’s football squad. The Wildcats’ heads were soaring in the clouds heading into Saturday’s matchup with UCLA. ESPN’s College GameDay was in town and Arizona was under the microscope on a national level for its first test of the season. It was Arizona’s game to lose as All-American linebacker Scooby Wright III was making his return from a lateral meniscus tear suffered in week one, and Myles Jack was absent for the Bruins. Arizona received a grade-A beating from UCLA, and the injury bug found its way back to the
program. Head coach Rich Rodriguez broke the news in Monday’s press conference that Wright will be out several weeks with a right foot sprain. So, with Wright out again, it’s back to the drawing board for the middle linebacker core. “His knee was fine, and he ran around well and got back into it,” Rodriguez said. “He landed on his right foot at some point in the game and sprained his right foot. We were concerned it might have been more than that, but the MRI results came in and Scooby will be out several more weeks with a foot sprain.” Just when there seemed to be hope of recovery for this Arizona defense with its ringleader’s return, it turned out to only be a tease for the Wildcats. The linebackers are struggling to stay healthy, and Rodriguez added that linebacker Derrick Turituri is questionable for the first road conference game against Stanford. “I don’t know if [Turituri] can play. He’s a little bit banged up so we’re hoping he’ll have a good week of recovery,” Rodriguez said. “This is not a good team to be short on linebackers.”
The defense is extremely slim heading into Stanford, and that’s bad news bears for Rodriguez. Stanford’s reputation for having the best offensive linemen in the country while running a double tight end set will give Arizona’s defense nightmares, considering the Cardinal’s offensive front averages out at 6-foot-4 and around 300 pounds. Stanford is a physical team that runs between the hashes, and with the declination of Wildcat linebackers, the replacements will have their work cut out for them. The Wildcats’ monsoon wasn’t just on the defensive side of the ball. Rodriguez briefly talked about quarterback Anu Solomon’s concussion suffered during the first half Saturday. According to Rodriguez, the sophomore phenom will be day-to-day heading up to the showdown with Stanford. “Anu went out with a concussion,” Rodriguez said. “As normal protocol, the doctors and trainers will make that decision and evaluate him every day.” Now it’s either Brandon Dawkin’s or Jerrard Randall’s turn to take the

UA volleyball hosts heavyweight Stanford BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat
Alex Mcintyre/The Daily Wildcat
Arizona setter Penina Snuka (20) sets the ball during the Wildcats’ sweep of Oregon on Sunday, Sept. 27 at McKale Center. Snuka is second on the team in digs.
With Pac-12 Conference play underway, Arizona volleyball continues its gauntlet of a schedule on Wednesday when it hosts No. 8 Stanford at McKale Center. The Wildcats come into this matchup 11-3 and, after starting off conference play with a defeat at the hands of No. 6 ASU, they returned home to sweep No. 22 Oregon on Sunday. “One of the reasons we were more successful on Sunday in the Oregon game is because we had more people involved offensively, and that helped our ability to be successful,” said Arizona volleyball coach Dave Rubio. Five different Wildcats had at least six kills as Kalei Mau led the charge with 15 kills, and Nikki Attea chipped in with 10 kills on .429 hitting to go along with three aces and a block. Penina Snuka set up her teammates successfully, as she tallied 36 assists to go
along with six digs. The Wildcats currently lead the conference in assists and kills per set and can hopefully execute efficiently against the defending Pac12 champions. “I am a little bit surprised by that, but I think that is a product of our defense, because our ability to dig the ball is going [to] provide the opportunity for assists,” Rubio said. “I like the fact that we are doing that, and that may be the first time ever that we have led in that category.” Stanford is 7-3 in the season so far and 1-1 in conference p lay, including a five-set defeat Sunday at the hands of No. 3 USC. Last season, they made it all the way to the Final Four before losing to eventual-champion Penn State, 3-1. The Cardinal are led by All-Pac-12 Conference honorable mention and Final Four All-Tournament participant Brittany Howard. The outside hitter currently has a hitting percentage of .301, averaging 3.08
kills, 1.89 digs and 3.69 points per set coming into the game. A few other key players for the Cardinal attack include senior setter Madi Bugg, as she is in the top 10 in assists and aces, while All-American second team member, Merete Lutz is ninth in the Pac-12 in blocks. The Wildcats will hope to end their losing streak against Stanford, as they have lost the last 17 meetings. The last time the two teams tangled, Arizona lost to a top-ranked Stanford team in a hard-fought match 3-2 in Palo Alto, California. The game is at 7:30 p.m. at McKale Center and will also be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks. After playing Stanford, the Wildcats host the other Bay Area school, the California Golden Bears, on Friday at 8 p.m.

Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon (12) attempts to recover a fumble during the Wildcats’ loss to UCLA at Arizona Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26. Solomon suffered a concussion in the loss and might be unable to play Saturday against Stanford.
Congratulations to Week 1 winners!!
News and notes: Rich Rod confident in backup Randall By Ezra Amacher
The Daily Wildcat
The last time Arizona met Stanford on the gridiron, Wildcat quarterback Anu Solomon was a 16-year-old high school student who had committed to the UA only a few months earlier. Receiver Cayleb Jones and cornerback DaVonte’ Neal were playing at Texas and Notre Dame, respectively, and Scooby Wright III was nothing more than an offthe-radar high school senior. All of that is to say that much has happened in the three years since the Cardinal defeated Arizona in a 54-48 overtime thriller. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said he didn’t remember much from that game, other than the obvious: it ended in a Wildcat loss. “We struggled in the first half offensively [and then] kind of hit a groove,” Rodriguez said. “What I do remember is that [UA quarterback] Matt Scott was on fire. Probably as impressive a throwing performance as I’ve ever had. But we got beat.” Scott threw for 491 yards and three touchdowns in the high-scoring showdown, while Ka’Deem Carey ran for another 132 yards and three touchdowns of his own. The Wildcats would surely love to borrow some of that offensive explosiveness this Saturday. Rich Rod ready for Randall With Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon
likely out of practice all week after suffering a concussion against UCLA, backup Jerrard Randall is expected to take over first-team duties. While Arizona won’t confirm its starting quarterback for Stanford until Thursday at the earliest, Rodriguez sounded upbeat about the prospects of Randall starting Saturday. “He’s not an 18-year-old kid. He’s been around a little bit,” Rodriguez said. “So, I think he’ll be alright. He’s a strong, athletic kid, and he’s one of the strongest kids pound-for-pound that we have on our team.” Randall had his first breakout game this season when he ran for two touchdowns on three carries in Arizona’s 77-13 victory over NAU. Randall added another rushing touchdown in the UCLA loss. It’s not the quarterback’s legs that are in question; rather, it’s his right arm. Randall’s passes come out like a 98 mph fastball. While there’s always a lot of zip on his throws, sometimes there’s a little too much. “We’ve been spent a year and a half on relaxing it, getting a little touch on it,” Rodriguez said. “He’s ripped through a lot of receiver gloves.” Randall, who began his college career at LSU, has completed just under 32 percent of his completions this season.

PAC-12 POWER RANKINGS
NORTH 1
Stanford—The sons of NFL greats put on a rushing clinic as Christian McCaffrey and Barry Sanders Jr. combined for over 300 yards and two scores Friday at Oregon State. Now the Cardinal is the favorite in the Pac-12 North after things looked bleak three weeks ago.
2
California—Don’t look now, but both Bay Area schools are ranked after the Golden Bears beat Washingon 30-24 over the weekend. This potential Pac-12 Conference Cinderella gets one more softball in Wazzu before threestraight ranked opponents and then Oregon; so we get to see if Cal is for real or just paper tigers.
3
Oregon—Giving up 42 points to FCS school Eastern Washington should have raised red flags to how bad the Ducks’ defense could be. Their two wins came against FCS schools and two losses came to top-10 opponents, so Oregon’s season could go either way.
4
W a s h i n g t o n —T h e Huskies’ two nail-biting losses came against ranked opponents, which is fair; but their two wins came against FCS schools. Their upcoming USC, Oregon, Stanford, Arizona and Utah quintet could leave them losing until lateNovember.
5
Washington State—The Cougars were idle last week, so they briefly moved out of the cellar with Oregon State’s loss. Wazzu might be underdogs in every game from here on out, so its stint as the No. 5 team in the Pac-12 North might be short lived.
6
Oregon State—The Beavers move to the bottom of the Pac-12 North with their loss to Stanford. They have a bye this week, so they might move up to fifth with a Washington State loss.

SOUTH
1
UCLA—The Bruins are in the Pac12 driver’s seat after demolishing Arizona 56-30 on College GameDay. Their run defense is spotty with Myles Jack’s absence, so their Stanford matchup in two weeks could be a concern.
BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat
4
Arizona—The only thing worse than getting embarrassed on national television when GameDay comes to your city is doing so and losing your best player. If the passing game doesn’t get back on track Saturday against Stanford, Scooby Wright III’s absence won’t matter.
5
ASU—The other Arizona school was also destroyed by a Los Angeles team, as USC thrashed the Sun Devils 42-14 in Tempe. Luckily for ASU, Arizona was the one on prime time, so it was too late for the rest of the country to see Sparky get spanked.
2
Utah—With wins over Michigan and Oregon, the overlooked team of the Pac-12 South is off this week, but will look to take another victory next week over Cal. It would be the Utes’ third victory over a ranked team this season.
3
USC—Cody Kessler threw his first interception of the season, but he was otherwise flawless as he threw five touchdowns to forward ASU’s conference title aspirations.
6
Colorado—While the Southern California teams beat up on the Arizona schools and Utah destroyed Oregon, Colorado quietly shut out a winless Nicholls State team 48-0. Its reward is an extremely ticked off Oregon team, because life is not fair.
