President Barack Obama announced his new plan of executive action to tackle gun control in a speech on Jan. 5, 2016, in the White House East Room. His plan includes four main components that were outlined in his speech, which can be found on the White House website. The first component of the executive action requires the licensing of gun sellers and expands background checks on gun buyers, both over the internet and in stores and gun shows. Julian Sharpe, a pre-business sophomore and a member of both the UA College Republicans and Young Americans for Liberty club, sees a problem with this. “He tried to legislate through executive order by saying that anybody who sells a firearm, even if it’s to your family member or to your close friend, that you are now a gun dealer and now you must get a license to sell guns, which means you would have to do background checks for these purchasers through the federal system,” Sharpe, who identifies as a libertarian and runs the Students for Rand club, said. “I don’t think that people are going to be abiding to that, especially if they are criminals.” Sharpe also said that there could be difficulties in regulating private transactions federally. Some think there could be benefits to increased background checks. Ian Winner, an astronomy junior who considers himself an independent who leans on the liberal side, said that increased background

Home thefts down over break BY AVA GARCIA
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona ranked seventh in the nation for the most theft claims in 2014, according to a report released by State Farm Insurance. The report is based on the amount of claims that State Farm received from its customers throughout the year, according to Victor Hugo Rodriguez, a spokesman for the company. Rodriguez said that most of those who file a claim with State Farm also file a police report. “State Farm is the largest insurance company in the nation, so our numbers really represent what the community goes through,” Rodriguez said. Sgt. Filbert Barrera, the public information officer for the University of Arizona Police Department, said that while he would want to know more about whether those claims from State Farm customers were also reported to the police, he thinks theft is “probably one of the biggest problems” on campus. “We have a crop of new students every year and it’s usually their first time away from home,” Barrera said, “so they may not have the life experience to always try to take care of their property and make sure it’s not going to be stolen.” Theft isn’t just a problem on campus. Officer Dan Lucas, the public information officer for the Tucson Police Department, said that patrol officers “deal with [theft] just about daily.” There is a certain time when theft spikes, however.

and December have the highest amount of theft claims, according to the State Farm report. People travel during the holidays and sometimes leave their properties unattended, making them more subject to theft, according to Rodriguez. It is then that people can “figure out ways to figure out if you are home or not,” said Rodriguez. One way in particular is whether the mail being delivered to a residence is being picked up or not. The State Farm report advises people to have neighbors pick up their mail so that it doesn’t pile up and alert potential thieves. Lucas also said the holiday season usually sees an increase in theft for obvious reasons. “Part of that is people get in the holiday spirit. They leave presents sitting in their car and they may or may not lock them,” Lucas
said. “I would encourage people to be especially aware around the holidays that valuables are out of sight and that they’re locking their cars. Pay attention to who’s in the parking lot if they’re walking around and looking in windows— that kind of thing.” There has been a decrease in the amount of theft on campus during the break, however, according to Barrera. It had previously been a trend for theft to increase on campus during breaks, but over the last few years theft rates have gone down. “I think that people are just getting smarter and they’re hearing our message that you need to lock your stuff up,” Barrera said. Even though the amount of theft over break may be decreasing, investigating the incidents of theft that do happen can still be difficult. If the theft happened over break,

it can be hard to tell exactly when it occurred since residents can be gone for weeks without checking on their property. According to Barrera, this can make followingup on the crime more difficult. In order to prevent theft, there are steps that people can take to secure their property. Barrera and Lucas strongly recommend travelers lock their homes’ and vehicles’ doors and windows. “You would be shocked, I’m sure, to find out that probably better than half of the car busts that we have, there is no force. The vehicle was unlocked,” Lucas said. “You have to lock your stuff up.” Lucas also advises people to keep their valuables out of sight and to report suspicious activity while it is happening. Barrera especially recommends recording the serial number of any valuables one owns and taking pictures of the property. When something is reported stolen, the police can put its information into the National and the Arizona Crime Information Center’s database. If the property is found, police officers elsewhere can run the serial number of the property to identify it. If an item does not have a serial number, Barrera advises engraving it or marking it in a way that can identify it as your property. Barrera said that UAPD tries to get these tips out in order to help people protect themselves from theft.

checks could help prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands. “I can’t think of any real justification for quick, fastpurchasing gun options, so I think [increased background checks] will be extremely effective,” Winner said. In order to increase the efficiency of the background check system, the second component of Obama’s executive action plan entails hiring an additional 200 investigators and agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. These efforts will go towards bringing “an outdated background check system into the 21st century,” according to Obama’s. The third component of the plan, as outlined in Obama’s speech, tackles the issue of helping treat those with mental illness and making sure that this information makes it in to the background check system. In his speech, Obama said he plans to “invest $500 million to expand access to treatment across the country.” Mental health records will also be submitted to the background check system. This discussion of mental health issues has been appreciated by both Winner and Sharpe.
we do the same thing for our guns?” Obama asked in his speech. Despite all of the components of the plan, some, like Ashlee Bierworth, a junior studying political science and law and president of the College Republicans, believes the plan will not really change the country significantly. The executive order may even be overturned by the courts because it is unconstitutional, according to Bierworth. “Regardless of the policies set forth, the president completely violated the foundations of our country, states’ rights, and the purpose of the constitution,” Bierworth said in an email. “We are a republic, and have a Congress for a reason. Just because Congress was not passing the laws that the President wished for does not give him the right to go around Congress completely and instill these policy changes.” Sharpe said he believes the executive order violates the Second Amendment, where “it’s very plainly said that in order to keep a well-regulated militia, the right to bear arms should not be infringed.” However, Winner said he sees the executive action not as a violation of the Second Amendment but more of a way to change it to increase safety for the country. “The executive order isn’t being
“Basically, Obama just called out everyone who was using gun violence as an excuse and being like ‘gun violence isn’t actually the problem, it’s the mental illness,’” Winner said. “He’s tackling both and being like this is your time to actually step up and support a bill that will actually help mental illness and at the same time also tackles gun control.” In his speech, Obama mentioned that suicide is behind almost two out of three gun deaths, a fact that Sharpe was quick to point out. However, he said he does not think the executive action will necessarily stop all gun-related tragedies. “I think there is a discussion about mental illness that we do have to have, that we need to be watching more with our family and our friends if we notice something that’s changed,” Sharpe said. “Other than that, I don’t think you can legislate anything that can prevent more tragedies like those in San Bernardino.” For the fourth component of the executive plan, Obama called for the development of safer gun technology in order to decrease incidents of injuries resulting from firearm misuse accidents. “If we can set it up so you can’t unlock your phone unless you’ve got the right fingerprint, why can’t

like ‘no more guns,’” he said. “It’s just saying we need to take more time as we distribute them to the right people.” Regardless of the differences in reaction to the executive action, the plan has opened a dialogue about gun control in the U.S. “I don’t think anything
statistically will change, but I do think that a conversation needs to be had, whatever side you’re on,” Sharpe said.

Grounded TPD choppers are flying again BY DEVON WALO
The Daily Wildcat
The Tucson Police Department Air Support Unit has been cleared to fly just in time for school to start back up again. After being grounded for over a week, the Air Support Unit is now ready to operate as of Friday at 5 p.m. TPD Officer Dan Lucas confirmed the unit, which contains three helicopters and one fixed-wing airplane, was grounded due to an audit done by the Airborne Law Enforcement Association. The audit categorized the air unit as high-risk because of outdated policies in the unit manual. The audit was voluntary and was requested by TPD, Lucas said. He said that although the policies in the written manual were up-to-date, the unit was operating under the updated practices. It was assumed the Pima County Sheriff’s Department would compensate for the grounded helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, but Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says differently. Nanos was first informed by media reports that the sheriff’s department was expecting assistance from his department. These reports explained that Nanos’ department would be filling in for the grounded aircraft. “No one told me that,” Nanos said. “If we have resources that other departments need

because theirs are extended and they call us, we’re going to help.” Nanos explained that the sheriff’s department is willing to help assist with any units, whether it is patrol vehicles, canine unit, air unit and so forth. Lucas said that it would only be under “extraordinary circumstances” that the TPD would make a call to the sheriff’s department during this time, but Sheriff Nanos said he would gladly support any department in the case of an emergency. Lucas describes the TPD air unit as a very useful supplement control because it allows officers to see a much larger span of ground when needed; however, the unit does periodically go down for maintenance and training reasons. Nanos said the previous TPD Chief of Police, Roberto Villaseñor, whose last call-to-action was the air unit audit, called Nanos to apologize for the lack of communication regarding the compensation of air control. Villaseñor has retired from the job and Christopher Magnus will be filling the position. Regarding the period of time the TPD air unit was grounded, Lucas said that police work went on as usual. — Follow Devon Walo @DailyWildcat

POLICE BEAT BY LAUREN RENTERIA The Daily Wildcat
Homie hook-up On Jan. 7, 2016, a University of Arizona Police Department officer observed two male subjects walking eastbound on the south side of the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. The officer then pulled up next to the men in the patrol vehicle and initiated conversation. Both of the subjects were identified as non-UA students, one of whom had two outstanding warrants for his arrest from the Tucson Police Department for shoplifting and narcotics violation. After the warrants were confirmed, the officer searched and cuffed the man, then placed him in the back of the patrol unit. Upon searching the man, the officer found a capped, used syringe in the back of the man’s left pocket. The syringe contained brown residue consistent with heroin use. The officer then searched the backpack the man was wearing and found a black and silver sunglasses case. Inside the case was a plastic Ziploc bag with pictures of teddy bears in it. Inside the bag were two pieces of brown, tarlike shards, consistent with heroin. The case also contained a spoon with brown and black burn residue, foil with burn residue and a cotton ball with brown and black residue, paraphernalia consistent with heroin use. After being read his Miranda rights, the cuffed man was willing to answer questions. The cuffed man said that the other male subject had handed him matches and the syringe must have been handed to him along with the matches, without his knowledge. The cuffed man also told the officer that his companion had placed the glasses case filled with heroin and paraphernalia inside his backpack prior to the encounter with the UAPD patrolman. The officer then spoke with the other male subject who had been found to have four misdemeanor warrants with TPD. The officer clarified with the second man regarding the ownership of the glasses case. The second man said that the case was not his. The first subject was arrested on charges of Possession of Narcotic Drug, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and the two outstanding warrants with TPD. The second man was arrested for the four outstanding warrants with TPD and both were taken to the Pima County Detention Center and booked for the listed charges.

Presidential campaign 2016: Who’s left? Both sides of the aisle in the 2016 presidential race had a few shakeups over the break. Check out what happened and who is left Donald Trump Trump continues to be the national front-runner and is poised for success within the early voting states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, where he has significant leads. Ben Carson Carson has fallen dramatically in both national polls and in Iowa, where he has fallen by nearly 20 points over the course of a couple of months. He will need to rebound significantly to regain his lost momentum. Rand Paul Paul failed to qualify for the main-stage at the Fox Business debate in South Carolina, but is still heavily campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire in an effort to gain some traction in the race. John Kasich Kasich is very much in the race for New Hampshire, as he has seen a recent rise in the polls. He has spent significant resources in the state and has campaigned there heavily in hopes of getting an early state win.

Ted Cruz Cruz continues to lead behind Trump in Iowa in what is looking like a very competitive early state race between the two candidates. He is wellprepared to carry any potential Iowa momentum into Super Tuesday states where he has spent significant time and has invested many resources.
Marco Rubio Rubio trails behind Trump in New Hampshire and will have to continue to fend off challenges from other establishmenttype candidates such as Chris Christie, John Kasich and Jeb Bush, who are also heavily invested in New Hampshire.
Chris Christie Christie is surging in New Hampshire, where competition between himself, Rubio, Kasich and Bush has created a bottleneck amongst these men who are vying for the role of the traditional Republican establishment-type candidate.
Jeb Bush Bush, between his campaign and super PAC, has spent the most money of any candidate, but has started to focus most of his resources in New Hampshire where he will have to succeed in order to gain his lost momentum as the former front-runner.
Carly Fiorina Fiorina has performed well in the prime-time debates, but has struggled to build upon that momentum in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
Mike Huckabee The 2008 winner of the Iowa caucuses and a strong social conservative has failed to win over the voters of Iowa thus far and will likely need a tremendous comeback in the state to have a chance in the race.
Rick Santorum The most recent winner of the Iowa caucus has also struggled to resonate with voters this time around and would likely need to see tremendous gains there in order to build momentum.

BY SEBASTIAN LAGUNA The Daily Wildcat
Over the past month, the race for the White House has entered a new phase as many early state primary voters are beginning to pay serious attention to the candidates. With only 18 days remaining until the Iowa caucuses and 28 days until the New Hampshire primary, the media frenzy surrounding the candidates has only grown stronger. While the fortunes of Republican candidates like retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Florida governor Jeb Bush have floundered in the past weeks, those of Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have continued to rise. In addition, over the past weeks candidates Lindsey Graham and former New York governor George Pataki, have dropped out of the presidential race after struggling to gain traction. For the rest of the Republican field, the national front-runner continues to be Donald Trump, as he maintains a strong lead nationally and holds the lead by a large margin in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire. In the latest RealClearPolitics national average amongst Republican primary voters, Trump continues to lead the field with 34.5 percent of the vote while Cruz remains in second place with 19.3 percent. With voting starting in Iowa in less than three weeks, it appears likely that it will become a two-way race between Trump and Cruz, as many recent polls have shown both men exchanging narrow leads in the state. Two more debates remain for the Republicans until voting begins in Iowa. The next debate will take place this Thursday and will be hosted by the Fox Business Network live from North Charleston, South Carolina. For the Democrats, the front-runner continues to be former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is capturing nearly half of national Democratic primary support with a 48.3 percent average, according to RealClearPolitics. Her nearest challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, trails behind Clinton nationally by roughly 8 percentage points, but has gained ground in critical early voting states such as New Hampshire, where he currently has a 6.2 point lead. One more debate remains for the Democratic candidates and it airs on Sunday by NBC News and will also be held in Charleston, South Carolina.

An elderly group votes on the most prestigious awards in film every year while elsewhere, everyone argues about its decisions. Half the fun of the Oscars is rooting for your favorites while amping up some faux rage to unleash when predictable candidates take home awards. There was public outcry when the academy snubbed Ava DuVernay in the best director category last year for her film “Selma.” People this year are upset for similar reasons—a white-washed group of acting nominees. Among the crop of potential ethnic nominees were the strong, largely black casts of films “Creed,” “Straight Outta Compton” and “Beasts of No Nation.” In particular, Idris Elba was considered a leading candidate for Actor in a Supporting Role for his part in “Beasts of No Nation.” An overlooking of qualified nominees is one thing, but this also speaks to the lack of films featuring minorities in prominent roles. There’s always next year; but part of Oscars’ tradition is implementing a “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy when it comes to issues such as these. One positive takeaway from the nominations is “Mad Max: Fury Road’s” 10 nominations, the second most of any film. The academy and its voters tend to award the same type of films year-in and year-out, but “Mad Max: Fury Road” is not the typical Oscars fare. An Australian post-apocalyptic action that functions as a twohour chase scene is not the film that comes to mind when thinking of the Oscars. Winning and being nominated are two different battles and “Mad Max: Fury Road’s” awards fate will be one storyline to watch heading into awards night. Netflix made waves in 2015 with its first purchase and distribution of a feature length film. The movie,
“Beasts of No Nation,” which chronicles the journey of a child soldier in Africa, garnered zero nominations across all categories. Whether this is a message being sent from the Academy to Netflix as a rebuke for messing with their racket is debatable, but it’s impossible to get less recognition than zero nominations. Children’s movies, particularly those helmed by Pixar, have had a stranglehold on the best animated feature award since its inception in 2001. This year, a new contender has emerged in “Anomalisa,” a realistic stop-motion feature from Charlie Kaufman, the mind behind “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “Being John Malkovich” and “Adaptation.” The award figures to be a two-horse race between “Anomalisa” and Pixar’s yearly movie offering “Inside Out.” Best cinematography looks to be a loaded field this year. The favorite here is Emmanuel Lubezki for his work on the film, “The Revenant,” but the rest of the category is filled with excellent candidates. “The Hateful Eight,” the latest film from Quentin Tarantino, was shot on 70 mm film, a throwback that is rare in the digital age. Industry veteran Roger Deakins picked up his 13th nomination for his work on the border thriller “Sicario”. “Mad Max: Fury Road” also landed one of its 10 nominations in this category. Expect Alejandro Iñárritu’s film “The Revenant” to clean up on awards night. Iñárritu, fresh-off his best picture and best director wins for “Birdman” last year, looks to take this year’s awards by storm as his film “The Revenant” received the most nominations of any film with 12 nominations. After sweeping the Golden Globe Awards by winning best director, best motion picture—drama and best actor for leading man Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Revenant” appears to be the favorite to receive the most calls to the stage on Feb. 28. — Follow Alex Furrier @badjazzmaverick

Music in the pipeline for new year BY THEA VAN GORP The Daily Wildcat
The new year has just begun and 2016 already looks promising for music. We’re currently experiencing a very exciting moment in music history for many reasons—technology has advanced to the point where we can make music by pushing a few buttons, songs can be shared from all over the world and people are becoming more creative and experimental with their means of creating a tune. This year has the potential to be one of the most innovative years in music. So here’s to 2016 and a sneak peak of what is to come.
BIG NAMES: These are some of the artists we have come to know and expect new music from. We hear them on the radio all the time and, whether we want to or not, we know most if not all of their lyrics. Their songs are catchy, simple and definitely get stuck in your head easily.
ALTERNATIVE/ INDIE ROCK: This genre seems to be a conglomerate of genres. These artists are thrown together into one genre because no one knows where else to put them. Some of the most experimental or new-age music is classified as alternative, which makes it an exciting genre to follow.
Ariana Grande — Relatively new to the pop scene, Grande’s music career has taken off with top hits like “Focus” and “Break Free.”
Ra Ra Riot — The indie-rock band from New York has remained almost dormant for a couple of years, but is making its comeback in 2016.
Christina Aguilera — Aguilera takes on many roles in the entertainment scene, but is mainly recognized by her incredible voice with a never-ending range.
Elton John — We all know Elton John and, generally, what to expect from his new album. He is a classic but who knows? Maybe he’ll surprise us.

Get fit with furry friends The humane society Jog-a-Dog program is offand-running and a UA study plans to join in on the fun. It’s about that time: New Year’s resolutions are going go into full effect. If your New Year’s resolution has anything to do with working out and getting in shape, however, you have a chance to help another’s life. The Humane Society of Southern Arizona will have orientation for its Jog-a-Dog volunteer program Saturday. “It’s an informational session so that people know what they are getting into and how the program runs, no pun intended,” said Aaron Fisher, volunteer manager of HSSA. The one-hour orientation will compose of an overview on HSSA followed by a lesson on basic dog-handling skills such as learning how to read and respond to dog behavior. The orientation consists of a one-time orientation fee of $15, which covers liability insurance for volunteers and includes a HSSA volunteer T-shirt. Although the orientation will have information primarily about the Jog-a-Dog program, those interested in more volunteer opportunities are encouraged to take the two-hour volunteer orientation class, according to Fisher. “Despite our best efforts, [the dogs] are still kenneled the majority of the day,” Fisher said. “So if they can have a productive, well socialized outlet for their energy— running with a person, getting some extra love and extra exercise—it only helps them because they show better and as a result are more adoptable.” The current window for volunteers to jog the dogs is Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7:30-10 a.m. However, HSSA is currently working on coming up with more afternoon times, which are expected to start at the end of this month. While the program establishes a fun way for volunteers and dogs at the shelter to engage in an active and fun way, there may be a scientific reason to the program’s benefits. Researchers at the UA will begin studying the potential effects that increased activity in shelter dogs can have on their adoptability. The study will start later this month and is currently offering volunteer opportunities for those interested. David Raichlen, a UA anthropology associate professor, Stacey Tecot, a UA
anthropology assistant professor and Evan MacLean, senior research scientist and co-director of the Duke Canine Cognition Center at Duke University, will conduct The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Stress and Behavior in K-9 Living in Animal Shelters study. MacLean will start as a UA assistant professor in the fall semester. The study envisions that during the HSSA’s Joga-Dog program, the jogger will pick up dog feces to be brought back for analyzing in an endocrinology lab. No scientific background is required for the volunteers who wish to be involved in the poopscooping process. “We will start looking at cortisol, it is a hormone that indicates the movement of energy in your body to deal with a stressor,” Tecot said. According to Raichlen, the study plans to see if higher levels of exercise provide a greater improvement to dogs’ stress and anxiety levels than low intensity walking or no exercise at all. “Our involvement is basically to help provide the scientific expertise to collect stress data from dogs and compare the running dogs with walking dogs and to see whether we can help figure out what level of exercise gives the best improvement in overall temper, behavior and mood,” Raichlen said. Tecot added that the ultimate goal is “making their lives a little bit better in the shelter and hopefully decreasing their time to adoption.” The researchers hope to include a variety of data over time, from statistics to other behavioral measurements. It will start by looking at the physiological markers of stress, an area in which Tecot specializes. “For students, for those of us with busy lives, exercise can only have a positive effect,” Fisher said. “If we can do that with shelter dogs and do some volunteering at the same time, then I think we have combined a number of positive ingredients all in one.” The Jog-a-Dog orientation will take place Saturday from 2-3 p.m. at the HSSA, located at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd., in the north conference room. For more information on the Joga-Dog program and other ways to get involved, visit hssaz.org/get-involved.

Someone is Looking for You ! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” — and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/ needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:710, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15)!
Crisis meets catharsis in new Daughter BY ALEX FURRIER
The Daily Wildcat
Much of life is made up of things we refuse to talk about—loneliness, heartache, fear and all those other emotions most people feel constantly but refuse to express outwardly. It takes courage to wear vulnerability as armor, and Not to Disappear, the latest album by London, England trio Daughter, wears its vulnerability well. Daughter has been dormant since its debut album If You Leave in 2013. Nearly three years later, the band presents the aftermath of what happened when the figure from the title of their debut album left. The two albums bookend a life crisis in GLASSNOTE RECORDS the form of a messy breakup. Bad breakups make the world feel like Disappear flow together seamlessly, it has come to a standstill. As if a constant stitching together a journey that begins of life has been ripped away and suddenly with “New Ways” and concludes with all of life is spent walking on thin air. This “Made of Stone”. feeling pervades Not to Disappear from “New Ways” sets the premise for the its opening track “New Ways” to the finale album: finding a new way to live without “Made of Stone.” In between is a journey that other person.

Edgar Allan Poe celebrated under the stars BY VICKY PEREIRA The Daily Wildcat
Of all the great writers from the past, there is one whose poetic horror stories are known better than any other: Edgar Allan Poe. Even today, his stories of haunting scenarios filled with tortured souls get readers’ hearts hammering in their chests. Poe and his work will be the subject of the event Moonlight, Starbright, Poe Night this Friday at the Steward Observatory and Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium from 5-8 p.m. The evening, which is being presented by Literacy Connects, will focus on the connections between Poe’s literary works and his interest in cosmology. From a telescope viewing to a planetarium show backed by music from Chamber Lab, the night will also include readings from Poe’s work and theatrical performances by students from Catalina High School. Poe Night is open to the community and is an event unlike any other in its combination of the wonder of the cosmos and the beauty of literature. In honor of Poe Night, here are a list of some of Poe’s most memorable, beautiful and haunting quotes:
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” – “A Dream Within a Dream”
“The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.” – “The Cask of Amontillado”
“True!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?” – “The Tell-Tale Heart”
“Arousing from the most profound of slumbers, we break the gossamer web of some dream. Yet in a second afterward, (so frail may that web have been) we remember not that we have dreamed.” – “The Pit and the Pendulum”
“I had walled the monster up within the tomb!” – “The Black Cat” “We loved with a love that was more than love.” – “Annabel Lee” “During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.” – “The Fall of the House of Usher”
“To the tolling of the bells—Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells—To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.” – “The Bells”
“I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.” – “The Tell-Tale Heart” “Quoth the Raven ‘Nevermore.’” – “The Raven”

ever grocery shop at Fry’s Food and Drug alone. For some reason, there seems to be a perfect hurricane of sketchiness that culminates on the corner of Grant Road and First Avenue. A parking lot scattered with trash and stray dogs paired with vehicles that seem equipped for a Tucson street-art-style apocalypse really isn’t the way to attract local customers, but my roommates and I are cheap, so we shop there. On my first trip back to the post-apocalyptic wasteland, I ran into a common situation: a homeless man begging for money. “Could you spare any change at all?” he said, voice weak. “No, sorry man, don’t have any. Have a good day though,” I

Pima Collaboration to End Homelessness statistics, there were 2,110 homeless in Tucson in 2014. As college students living here, we will probably run into a few homeless people. We have control over whether to help another person in need and when it comes down to it, that is all we should worry about—what is in our control. A homeless person could buy drugs, but that’s their decision to make. Ours is, simply put, to help or not. So as a long-time homeless skeptic, I’m going to try to give as much as I can, which is not a lot considering I’m in college and I still shop at Fry’s. And since I didn’t have a New Year’s resolution before, I guess this will be it now.

At UCLA, housing is already cramped and overpriced. Despite budget increases, the impending enrollment expansion poses a huge threat to students who already struggle to find and afford housing close to school. Although the enrollment increase aims to benefit California residents, no one will benefit unless housing options and housing prices also reflect the budget increases and begin to compensate both existing students and the future thousands. — The Daily Bruin, UCLA

Expanding grocery options on campus is a cheaper, healthier solution for students BY Martin Forstrom
The Daily Wildcat
T
he majority of people at the UA and the overwhelming majority of underclassmen eat out for almost all of their meals. Yes, there are a few healthy options in the dining hall at both the Student Union Memorial Center and the Park Student Union, but let’s be honest, they are a small minority and straight-up fast food like Burger King, Papa John’s, Panda Express make up, on average, probably two meals a day for the average UA student. I’m sure the university sees a pretty penny from this arrangement. Doubtlessly, there is some reason they have chosen
“meals” are probably healthier and certainly much cheaper than their fast food alternatives—and much faster, even. A box of off-brand macaroni and cheese from Safeway, along with the butter and milk for which the recipe calls, cost a little over a dollar, cooks in half the time it takes to get to McDonald’s, is less disgusting and will feed a small family. That’s not exactly health food, but it’s definitely less toxic and several times less expensive than it over the traditional all-you-can-eat buying everyone a couple of items from cafeteria-style setup many schools use, the dollar menu. even the large ones, but instilling healthy Potatoes plus salt plus butter makes lifestyles in their students and promoting mashed potatoes and all of those good health during their stay at the UA is ingredients are dirt cheap.

one of the student unions. This could be accomplished simply by expanding Highland Market, Park Avenue Market and U-Mart’s selections and making their prices a bit more reasonable. This would likely pay for itself as students would no longer feel the need to go to Safeway for their several-times-lower prices. Healthier graduates would learn the essential lesson that cooking healthy meals at home saves both money in the short-term, and one’s health in the long-term. I’m sure they don’t really need to charge $2 for a Yoplait yogurt when Safeway sells them for 50 cents. That might seem an audacious prediction, but the differences in life outcomes between a student who leaves school with a Burger King addiction and one who leaves having learned how much better it feels to stock up on fresh food to cook is surely quite significant in terms of health and happiness. Investing in an attractive grocery alternative on campus is the right thing to do morally, and likely financially, for the UA. Students would take advantage of the myriad of benefits of outgrowing the wasteful, toxic fast-food lifestyle.

Good to be back, McKale BY KYLE HANSEN
The Daily Wildcat
After a tough trip to Southern California last weekend, the Wildcats were reminded of one thing Thursday night: It’s good to be home. Three weeks removed from their last game in McKale Center, the No. 18 Arizona Wildcats dominated the Washington Huskies 99-67 for a convincing Pac-12 Conference victory and their 48th straight home win. Ryan Anderson lead all scorers with 21 points and added nine rebounds for a Wildcat team that saw five players reach double-digits in scoring. Kaleb Tarczewski added 16 points and 13 rebounds and Mark Tollefsen scored 11 in place of the injured Allonzo Trier. “Coaches just told after the last game that everyone has a bad game,” Anderson said. “[They told me] get back to what you do best, play hard and try to rebound the ball. My teammates found me early and energy is contagious. Once we got off to that start, I think at halftime we really found ourselves defensively.” After Washington took a 39-36 lead late in the first half, Arizona outscored the Huskies 28-8 to take a 64-47 lead with 11:55 to go. Overall, Arizona outscored Washington 5526 in the second half. The Wildcats played smooth basketball coming out of halftime,

going on a 12-4 run to start. After leading by only three points at halftime, Arizona found its largest lead at 35 late in the second half after getting a three from Dusan Ristic and two dunks from Chance Comanche. “Tonight was a real test. Now we‘re down again another player,” head coach Sean Miller said. “Once we left halftime, our defense went to another level. Our offense was really good in both halves. When we get out in transition off of misses, we’re a harder team to defend.” Washington’s Andrew Andrews came in as the leading scorer in the Pac-12, averaging 21.6 points per game. Kadeem Allen and Parker Jackson-Cartwright hounded Andrews all night, forcing him to 3-for-11 shooting with three turnovers. Andrews finished the night with nine points and eight
assists. Noah Dickerson led the Huskies with 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting. Jackson-Cartwright also led the game with 11 assists. Arizona as a unit outrebounded the Huskies 4328. “We got a lot of defensive rebounds and I think [JacksonCartwright] is at his best when he is pushing the ball,” Miller said. “We pushed the ball a lot in that segment, and when [Parker] is in the open court he really looks to pass, push it and play with confidence.” After both teams shot 52 percent from the field in the first half, they went in different directions from there on. Arizona shot 70 percent from the field and 78 percent from beyond the arc in the second half, while Washington shot the ball 30 percent from the field and 16 percent from deep.
Arizona’s defense has come into question this season, especially after back-to-back losses last weekend. Tonight, the Wildcats forced the Huskies into 15 turnovers. The Wildcats allowed the Huskies to score just 15 points in the paint. “It’s amazing how many easy baskets you get off of your defense,” Miller said. “In the second half, I would have to say 20 of our 55 came off of a great defensive stop, and we did a great job of sharing the ball.” Arizona did a better job of getting to the line tonight, shooting 20-for28 compared to Washington’s 7-for11 at the charity stripe. The Wildcats will take on the Washington State Cougars Saturday at 7:30 p.m., in McKale Center. Pac12 Networks will have the coverage. — Follow Kyle Hansen @k_hansen42

Sean Miller believes the Pac-12 Conference is America’s new “beat each other up league.” On Thursday, Arizona
men’s basketball handed league leader Washington a total beat-down. After dropping two close games in Los Angeles, on top of a month-long hand injury to Allonzo Trier, Arizona responded Thursday with a dominating 99-67 win over the Huskies, a victory that should pacify any great
concerns coming off the Wildcats’ road trip sweep. Yes, these star-crossed Wildcats lost their leading scorer over the weekend, but Arizona’s backcourt adjusted seamlessly to the loss of Trier. Parker JacksonCartwright embraced a greater role at point guard, dishing out a career-high
11 assists, while Kadeem Allen limited Pac-12 leading scorer Andrew Andrews to a season-low nine points. The Arizona front court, meanwhile, finally profited from its major size advantage. Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson attacked
repeatedly throughout the game, combining for 37 of the team’s 99 total points and racking up 22 rebounds together. More importantly, Arizona’s defense played perhaps its best second half of the season after struggling in the opening 20

Who will be the next QB for UA? With Spring Ball on its way, Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez now makes the tough decision on who will lead his offense next season by matt wall
The Daily Wildcat
As spring ball approaches for Arizona football, the Daily Wildcat takes a look at the quarterback position for the Wildcats and who can potentially grab the starting job. The Wildcats will have just three scholarship quarterbacks with the return of two and the loss of one. Anu Solomon Every Arizona football fan knows when to love him and when to hate him. But one thing is clear: Solomon has succeeded on the offensive side of the ball when it counts. Injuries have derailed the quarterback out of Bishop Gormon over the past two seasons, many of which have come due to concussion. Over the past two seasons, Solomon has thrown for 6,460 yards and 48 touchdowns. Is it Heisman Trophy potential? No. Yet at the same time, Solomon has continued to improve in his two seasons in the starting role. All one has to do is look at the Arizona quarterback position. In two seasons, former Wildcat B.J. Denker threw for just 2,775 yards and 19 touchdowns. But over time, Solomon has begun to improve his running abilities and somehow finds ways to make big plays when they count. Although Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez told Arizona Daily Star reporter Michael Lev that Solomon is viewed as starter, Brandon Dawkins is expected to get plenty of reps. Khalil Tate The four-star, dual-threat quarterback out of Gardena, California officially arrived on the Arizona campus just a few days ago as a midyear enrollee. Unlike Devon Modster, another four-star recruit in his class who decommitted from the Wildcats just a few weeks ago, Tate has embraced his experience at Arizona and seems ready to take on the challenge of leading Arizona’s system. In his high school senior season, Tate compiled 2,036 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. With his feet, he added 2,130 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns. According to Scout.com, Tate is considered the No. 16 overall athlete. “Tate is talented enough to compete with Anu Solomon and Brandon Dawkins for the starting job as a true freshman,” wrote Arizona Daily Star reporter Zack Rosenblatt. “Even if he doesn’t win that, Tate has the athleticism and running ability for a Jerrard Randall-esque role.” Tate and the Wildcats would hardly disagree. Rodriguez always talks about spring ball positions being pretty wide-open so Tate most certainly has a shot. Brandon Dawkins
Zi Yang Lai and Tyler Baker/The Daily Wildcat
Arizona quarterbacks Brandon Dawkins (13, left) and Anu Solomon (12, right) are two of the four quarterbacks on the UA roster in 2016. Solomon is expected by many to get most of the reps during spring ball.
Dawkins surprised many in his impressive performance against ASU after riding the third string quarterback role for most of the 2015 season. But when Solomon was out with a concussion and Randall was simply not cutting it, Rodriguez put in Dawkins. In the game, Dawkins completed 16 of 30 passing attempts for 305 yards and two touchdowns. Although Dawkins was picked off a couple times against the Sun Devils, he proved to Arizona fans that he could handle the heat of the rivalry.
In terms of toughness, Dawkins definitely deserves the award. Against the Sun Devils, he would throw up on the sidelines due to illness and then throw a touchdown. That’s determination. Zach Werlinger The highlight of Werlinger’s career was surely his rushing touchdown against NAU during the third game of the season. Besides that, Werlinger rarely saw the field and served as the fourth string backup. Werlinger is not a player
on scholarship according, to 247 Sports. With all of that in mind, Rodriguez surely has a lot of options with which to lead his offense next season. With so many questions still needing to be answered on the defensive side of the ball, Rodriguez can take a breath of relief when it comes to the quarterback position for now. — Follow Matt Wall @mwall20

Wildcats regroup and hound Huskies Despite two significant injuries to Trier and Tarczewski, the Wildcats keep finding ways to get it done as a team
BY Matt wall
The Daily Wildcat
Last season, I asked Rondae Hollis-Jefferson what it meant to be a teammate on this team. “We preach [as a] team, together everyone achieves more,” Hollis-Jefferson said. “Before we can roll out a basketball on the court, we have to be a family.” This statement resonated with me as I watched Arizona men’s basketball claw back from all the hate and disappointment that came from their road trip through Los Angeles. Sure, the Wildcats lost two straight: two games that in past seasons they almost certainly would have won. In all honesty, this team appeared to be down and out. Throughout most of the week, many Arizona fans had lost faith. Could the longest home-winning streak in the nation be cut short due to injury? In Thursday’s blowout victory over the Washington Huskies, Arizona men’s basketball managed to become that family Hollis-Jefferson preached about last season. Through all the nitty-gritty, this Arizona team has faced a ridiculous amount of adversity. Their win against Washington was needed, to say the least. On what planet would Arizona head coach Sean Miller predict that his two best players would go down for extended periods of time? But that’s exactly what happened. It’s the story of losing, and then single-handedly crushing, opponents. After losing to Providence and Kris Dunn at the DirecTV Wooden Legacy, the Wildcats defeated Boise State for the second time in one season by nine points. After two straight losses, we all saw Arizona beat the Pac-12 Conference leading Washington team by 32 points. That’s 32 points of heartbreak and anger after two straight losses. The team finally understood what Miller had

been preaching. Kaleb Tarczewski was out from November to January. Within that time, the Wildcats managed to regroup without their star center and players all around stepped up, including the nowinjured Allonzo Trier. Dusan Ristic stepped up. Gabe York hit clutch 3-pointers. Ryan Anderson grabbed rebounds and excelled with putbacks. And through all that, Arizona won seven games straight without Tarczewski anywhere in the lineup. The same can now be said of Wildcat favorite and explosive scorer: Allonzo Trier. After suffering a hand injury, Trier did all he could for Arizona while sitting on the bench in street clothes. He screamed. He shouted. But he was unable to play in the game. His presence wasn’t needed.

minutes. The Huskies’ three leading scorers heading into the night—Andrews, Dejounte Murray and Marquese Chriss—shot a collective 20 percent in the second half. “Tonight was a big night for us,” Miller said after the game. “It’s nice to be home.” It took a while for Arizona’s homecoming party to heat up. Washington hung with Arizona
for the entire first half and the Huskies actually took the lead with about two minutes to go before intermission. But an 8-0 Arizona run heading into halftime spurred the Wildcats the rest of the night. Arizona broke the game open in the opening minutes of the second half as the defense buckled down while Jackson-Cartwright continued to create opportunities inside for the
Tarczewski, Anderson and York collectively outrebounded the entire team of Washington 28-26 by themselves. More than that, Arizona continued the longest home-winning streak in the nation with 48 games. Every UA starter finished in double figures in points scored. Parker Jackson-Cartwright finished with a career high of 11 assists. “If we want to be the best team we can be, we have to have that type of effort through a 40-minute game,” Miller said. “I think when we do that, that’s when we really have a chance to jump up.” In the middle of the second half, Miller actually sat down for once. Sure, his jacket came off a few times, but Arizona may have just found the rhythm it has desperately been seeking. Miller was finally able to take a deep breath as Arizona’s defensive intensity finally showed. The
big men. Washington’s Murray and Andrews, who had each dropped over 20 points in the Huskies’ past two games, could find few open looks against Arizona’s perimeter defense. The Wildcats’ big men did their job on the glass, outrebounding Washington 43-26. “I think our defense revved up to another level,” Jackson-Cartwright said. “We go defense to offense and it shows.” Arizona’s defense even featured a
same defense Miller called “terrible” held the conference’s leading scorer to single-digit points scored. Miller worked his magic. “I don’t question anything coach Miller does,” Anderson said. “He’s one of the best coaches in the game.” You can take one man down, maybe even two; but you can’t take out an entire family that has put its heart and soul into the sport it loves. Arizona’s new motto of the season should probably be: regroup and conquer. It seems to be working for a team that has been battle-tested and just keeps finding ways to win.
new sprinkle: zone defense. Miller, a strong adversary of zone dating back to his days at Xavier University, said that the Wildcats will need to rely on it going forward to compensate for the sudden lack of guard depth. “I don’t think we have a choice,” Miller said. “We don’t have a deep enough team. So as long as we’re playing with great effort, it could be something that is good for us. I look at that as being part of what we do from this point on.” The change worked, as

Washington never found a shooting touch in the second half, hitting just 30 percent from the field and 2-12 from outside. The Wildcats would go on to outscore Washington 55-26 in the half. “Once we left halftime, our defense went to another level,” Miller said. “The better defensive team we are, the more that fuels our offense.” — Follow Ezra Amacher @ EzraAmacher

Fork in the road awaits Wildcats’ season BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
Coming off two double-digit losses in the Pacific Northwest against Washington State and Washington, the Arizona women’s basketball team will return home and look to rebound against the Utah Utes and Colorado Buffaloes. The Wildcats (10-6, 1-2) have lost three of their last four games, but they have fared well in McKale Center. “We want McKale to be a tough place to play in and we want to make sure our fans leave the arena feeling good about that,” Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. Arizona is 7-1 at home this season, including a win over the California Golden Bears, who were ranked No. 21 at the time. The team’s lone loss was to the Stanford Cardinal who are ranked No. 11 in the country. Despite the home success, however, the Wildcats’ recent struggles have led them to a 1-2 Pac-12 Conference record throughout the first couple weeks of conference play. Only Oregon and Colorado have a worse record and it has dampened what was a historical start to the season for the Wildcats. It also makes this upcoming home stand critical for Arizona. Two wins could move

Yim leads GymCats to new heights BY matt wall
The Daily Wildcat
A new aura has most certainly shined on the Arizona gymnastics program this season. Although the actual roster of gymnasts has most of the same faces as those from the past few seasons, with of course a few exceptions, the GymCats boast an impressive coaching staff with a wealth of experience. Leading that staff and the team’s transformation is head coach Tabitha Yim. When Yim was hired by athletic director Greg Byrne in May, who could have predicted the success and preparation the team would have gone through in just nine months? It starts with the rankings. Arizona is ranked No. 10 overall nationally. While it is nothing new to see the team rank in the top 25, top 10 is one of its highest rankings in the past couple of years. While gymnastics is normally thought of as an individual sport, this team has shown a whole new mental attitude about teamwork. All one has to do in order to believe that statement is read through the GymCat Feature Friday articles on the Arizona Athletics website and read through what made Arizona stand out. “The girls on the team were so fiery and enthusiastic when I visited Arizona.” “The atmosphere and the bond that everyone had on the team.” “The girls on the team are absolutely amazing inside and out.” You get the picture. Yim’s ability to coach her gymnasts and athletes through struggles is one of the main reasons she was hired in the first place. “When I was watching Stanford compete, I watched Tabitha and her regular interaction with her student athletes and the way they responded to her and the coaching she was giving them,” Byrne said when Yim was hired. “It was very positive and they were constantly learning and being taught and thought this is something that would make sense for the UA.” At the first meet of the season, Yim proved exactly that and I was able to watch it all first hand. In warm ups for the third event, freshman Skyler Sheppard seemed to struggle and had fallen off the beam a plethora of times during practice runs. Before Sheppard actually competed, Yim spoke to her on the sidelines and coached her through each movement she was about to make. Through the coaching, Sheppard earned first place overall in the event with a score of a 9.825. “Providing that development for young leaders to use those skills after college and do everything with integrity and heart [is] something that I really value,” Yim said back in May. It’s easy to see why her gymnasts listen to every word she says. Yim lives and breathes success. As a collegiate

conference record, which means they are tied for second in the Pac-12. It’s also the best start for the program since it joined the conference. They are led by Emily Potter, who averages a double-double with nearly 17 points and 12 rebounds per game, and

gymnast, Yim was a 14-time All-American, the most in Stanford history. Additionally, she competed for the U.S. National Team and won floor exercise at the U.S. Championships. But it’s been her community involvement which helped her break GymCat attendance records at the season opener against Michigan State. Yim and the GymCats hand-delivered season tickets to fans in the Tucson community. But even more so, it has been the social media videos grabbing all the attention. From the “Whip/Nae Nae” video with Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez to the “So You Think You Can GymCat” videos, it’s easy to see why this team can walk with a little pep in their step during meets. Probably the most underrated part of the coaching staff is their own ability and experience together. Anchoring Yim on the coaching staff are assistant coaches John Court and David McCreary.
guards Paige Crozon and Katie Kulok. Kulok leads the conference in threepoint shooting with a 46.4 three-point percentage, while Crozon is seventh in the conference in scoring, with 15.8 points per game, and has shot 39 percent from behind the arc. Potter, plus the team’s effectiveness from the perimeter, gives the Utes a formidable inside-outside attack, which has been a major reason for the team’s unexpected
Court has been with the program for 18 years and has served as the lead recruiter. McCreary, on the other hand, is also new to Arizona like Yim, but he brings top notch Pac-12 Conference experience as well. He previously coached at Washington and Oregon State. Rounding out the coaching staff is volunteer assistant Randi Acosta, who is an expert on floor choreography. Sometimes change is necessary and, for the Arizona gymnastics program, it has only been positive thus far with Yim leading the charge.
