Beneath bright fluorescent lights, beakers clatter and sweat drips. A student hesitates before stepping over a line of yellow duct tape on the floor. Before doing so, he or she goes through a list of required items: lab coat, goggles, gloves and close-toed shoes. Check, check, check and check, the student verifies with a sigh of relief. Missing any of these items could lead to dismissal from the
lab. Organic chemistry labs are high stakes because the experiments are ridden with toxic and hazardous chemicals. “It’s not like we try to do everything with toxic chemicals,” said Dr. Hamish Christie, a lecturer and organic lab coordinator in the department of chemistry and biochemistry. These toxic chemicals may sometimes be avoided with alternatives. For many majors at the UA, chemistry labs are required
coursework. According to the UA Green Fund, nearly 2,500 students cycle through general chemistry labs and 1,000 students take part in organic chemistry labs each semester. Such high numbers of students create liability issues by producing large amounts of hazardous waste products at the end of each lab. In 2013, Christie consulted the UA Green Fund in an effort to receive a grant that supports greener chemistry lab. He proposed limiting the use of toxic
metals, recycling byproducts and reducing the amount of chemicals used in the first place. Science is progressive “As chemists, we’re always interested in trying to do a better job,” Christie said. He and his colleagues realized that by revamping their experiments, the chemistry department could reduce the UA’s carbon footprint and make the department more

Tragic news broke during the holidays of UA sophomore Zoey Zalusky’s death due to an unknown cause. She was a pre-nursing major and a member of the Zeta Omicron chapter of the Sigma Kappa sorority on campus. Zalusky was found unconscious on her bathroom floor in the Hub at Tucson apartment building on Dec. 15. She was taken to the Banner— Health University Medical Center Tucson, and was placed into a medically induced coma to prevent further damage and swelling to the brain. She remained on life support through the duration of her medically induced coma, and on Dec. 23, she was pronounced brain dead. Zalusky died on Dec. 24. Sigma Kappa president, Taylor Brown, said doctors are unsure of the cause of death, but believe it may have been caused by a blood clot found in her lungs. There were no drugs or alcohol involved. Jordan Gaylor, a junior studying retail and consumer sciences, is Zalusky’s big sister, or mentor, within the sorority. She explained that Zalusky had a doctor’s appointment the morning she was found. “She told her parents she wasn’t feeling well the day before, so her mom made her a doctor’s appointment for the following morning,” Gaylor said. “They hadn’t heard from her so they sent her sister over to go look, and the Hub [employees] let her in.” Mariah Zanotti, a family studies and human development sophomore, was one of Zalusky’s roommates, and has since moved out of the unit after Zalusky’s death. “It’s barely starting to feel real,” Gaylor said. Gaylor explained it was difficult to grasp because she usually wouldn’t see her during break, but it

became more real when she went to send Zalusky a text or snapchat. “It’s just been really hard for everyone to cope with it; it’s even hard to talk about it right now for some of the women,” Brown said. “I think we are going to grow from it eventually, because I know it is hard right now, we have seen tragedy in the past, but I feel like we will be able to take this situation and turn it around from such a tragic event.” Zalusky’s closest friends have set up a donation site through Tilt to raise money for the family’s medical bills. The women of Sigma Kappa have helped promote the Tilt fund, as well as send flowers and support cards to the Zalusky family in Texas. “I noticed a lot of fraternities have donated to the Tilt that we made,” Kory Baez, an engineering freshman, said. Zalusky added Baez to their Sigma Kappa family as her little sister this past semester. Over $5,000 has been donated to the fundraising site, and Brown explained that the greek community has been extremely supportive.
Students across campus have mourned the loss of their friend and sister, but Zalusky, nonetheless, left an impact on those who had the pleasure of crossing paths with her. Zalusky was able to saves lives through donating her liver, heart and kidneys to three people on Christmas Day. Baez, Gaylor, and Zanotti all chuckled to each other when asked how they would describe Zalusky. “Sassy,” Baez said immediately. All friends made it known that Zalusky was always in charge of the music, and it was very apparent that she would be the DJ of the night. “She was loud,” Zanotti added. Memorial speeches were filled with memories of their time with their dear friend. Zalusky’s grandparents, older sister and hundreds of students gathered to remember and celebrate her life. Tears were shed, laughs were had, but as Wildcats, they stand together. — Follow Devon Walo @DwaloWalo

Ducey gives financial plans at state address Preceeding the final State of the Union address President Obama gave last Tuesday, Ducey provides plans for Arizona’s financial future BY DAVID MCGLOTHLIN
Arizona Sonora News Service
Gov. Doug Ducey’s State of the State address on Monday touched on concerns shared by both parties who now wait to see if he is going to offer up the cash. The question regarding funding will not be answered until his budget is released Friday. Ducey mentioned education, child safety, sexual assault, public safety and border security. “At the end of the day, it boils down to details and I did not hear a lot of details,” said minority whip and Democratic District 27 Rep. Rebecca Rios. While Democrats questioned the lack of specifics in his address, Republicans showed optimism and support for Ducey’s agenda. The reaction of District 20 Rep. Paul Boyer was “nothing but positive, so glad our governor is our governor,” he said. Democrats were surprised by the large scope of Ducey’s agenda for the session. “I was amazed to hear about all the social service issues he is concerned about,” Rios said. “I hope he puts his money where his mouth is.” The money Democrats and Republicans are eyeing is a surplus of $218 million in on-going funds, and $1 billion in cash on-hand in the general and rainy day funds. Ducey is guarding the punchbowl. Everyone is asking the governor for a taste. Friday will reveal his serving sizes. Education Ducey was quick to praise Arizona’s three
public universities, but failed to mention if any of the former director to address the reported of the $99 million cut to higher education last 16,990 children in out-of-home care as of September 2014. year would be restored. The funding did not help, as the number “Universities are great but no details on how to fund them,” assistant minority leader and today has grown to nearly 19,000 children. “I commend him for Democratic District 9 Sen. mentioning that but Steve Farley said. question to whether he will Friday’s budget proposal I was amazed follow through,” Rios said. should reveal answers. “Improvements to DCS to hear about At the K-12 level, will require investment and bipartisan support for all the social service resources.” education is apparent On the other hand, this session with Prop 123 issues he is concerned District 16 Republican being the poster example about, I hope he puts Rep.

funding instead. The Department of Public Safety budget currently funds the operation but additional personnel, equipment and resources were requested. They want more troopers, vehicles, surveillance gear and communication equipment. Ducey’s budget should reveal how much he wants to give them. Arizona Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit Task Force An executive order signed by Ducey before the address established the Arizona Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit Task Force to tackle the backlog of more than 2,300 untested rape kits in Maricopa County alone. According to endthebacklog.org, a program of the Joyful Heart Foundation focusing on shining a light on the rape kit backlog in the country, “on average, it costs between $1,000 and $1,500 to test one rape kit.” Ducey promised his budget would allocate dollars to start the process of clearing these backlogs. The minimum cost to test the backlog of rape kits in Maricopa County totals $2.3 million. That cost does not include Arizona’s 14 other counties, or the cost of prosecution and further investigation into the cases after testing.

New progress made in Border Patrol case BY Ava Garcia
The Daily Wildcat
The American Civil Liberties Union and three unnamed plaintiffs are proceeding with their lawsuit against the federal Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security for having unconstitutional conditions in its Tucson sector facilities. The lawsuit seeks to change these conditions because they “violate standards of decency in any civilized society in violation of the due process clause,” according to Dan Pochoda, senior counsel at the ACLU of Arizona, and one of the attorneys on the case. The lawsuit focuses on six to eight facilities in the Tucson sector where undocumented immigrants are detained. According to the court documents of the defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit, the facilities are made for the short-term holds. “Border Patrol stations are not designed for long-term care or detention; rather they are short-term facilities, and every effort is made to promptly process, transfer or remove those in custody at the stations as quickly as is appropriate and operationally feasible,” the government attorneys said. However, Pochoda said many detainees are there anywhere between one to five days. In these facilities, detainees “have been packed into overcrowded and filthy holding cells with the lights glaring day and night,” according to the plaintiff’s complaint detailed in court documents. Pochoda also said that detainees do not have beds and instead are given foil blankets, they also have to sleep in the same room where the toilets are located.
Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat
The Mexico-U.S. border fence can be seen by visitors to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Border Patrol is being sued due to inhumane and “unconstitutional conditions” in which detainees are allegedly held.
“They’re just deprived of basic necessities of life, and are run in an unconstitutional manner. They don’t provide the minimums required to meet constitutional standards that are there for people who are detained by the government,” Pochoda said. “In any civilized society you can’t just do that to people. That’s unacceptable on a human level and also on a constitutional level.” Pochoda said he and the other plaintiffs are looking for “injunctive relief,” so that there is a change in the conditions of the facilities, rather than damages. He said that none of the plaintiffs will receive money from this lawsuit and counsel is working without being paid. However, if they win the lawsuit, according to Pochoda, they can receive “monies pursuant to the statutes from the federal government.” Two recent court decisions have shaped the
case so far. Last week, the court did not approve the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. According to Pochoda, the defendants believed that the individuals on the plaintiff side— those who were detained in the Tucson sector facilities—could not maintain the lawsuit because they aren’t in the facilities now. Further, the motion to dismiss the lawsuit states that those detained were apprehended and believed to be “unlawfully present in the United States.” The court ruled that the plaintiffs were in the facilities at the time the lawsuit was filed. “If the standard was if you’re not around and subjected to the wrongs that you’re complaining about for the entire time in the litigation, many things would go without the possibility of
judicial review,” Pochoda said. Second, the court granted the plaintiff’s request for class certification, which would let the plaintiffs represent all people currently detained, people who will be detained in the future and themselves. “It makes a significant difference on the scope of any remedy,” Pochoda said. “The potential for harm [in these facilities] is there for everybody.” This kind of class certification can be difficult to get the judge to allow, according to Derek Bambauer, a UA professor of law who is not part of this lawsuit, but has worked with the ACLU on another suit against Border Patrol. “It’s a mark of success for the ACLU at this point,” he said. Though this may be a success for the ACLU now, the lawsuit process is just starting. Pochoda said that the lawsuit is “nowhere near trial” and right now they are in the process of gathering information. In the meantime, the ACLU has requested a preliminary injunction in order to make changes to the Border Patrol facilities while the lawsuit plays out. “I think that clearly it’s the sort of thing where the injunction should be granted, but courts are sort of wary about this type of thing,” Bambauer said. “Even if it’s the right call legally, the ACLU has a little bit of an uphill battle in terms of getting the injunction granted.” During the writing process, the reporter reached out to the defendents and they did not provide a response at this time. This story will be updated as more information is released. — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

POLICE BEAT BY LAUREN RENTERIA The Daily Wildcat
Don’t trust the police Two University of Arizona Police Department officers noticed a student walking unsteadily, so they parked the patrol vehicle near the Park Student Union to observe him. The student was leaning against a van that was parked by the Coronado Residence Hall. He stood there for a few minutes, then proceeded to punch the side view mirror into the locking position. The two UAPD officers drove to the student and instructed him to take a seat while they investigated the situation. The officers could smell alcohol on the student and noticed his watery, blood shot eyes and slurred speech. When the officers asked the student’s age, he responded with 17 years old, then 18 and eventually 19 years of age when an officer obtained his drivers license. While the officer was inspecting the punched vehicle for damage, the student sat breathing heavily. The student said that the van had belonged to his aunt, which she had lent to him. However, the van did not belong to his aunt. The student admitted to drinking earlier that night, but did not say where. When asked if he had ever been contacted by UAPD prior to this time, the student replied with “no,” and told the officers that he did not trust UAPD. The student said that he didn’t trust the officers because he thought he was going to jail and didn’t want to get his friends in trouble. An officer explained that he didn’t plan to place the student in jail and that his friends were not involved in the situation. The officers gave the student a ride home after explaining to him the student diversion process for minor in possession.

You got that OG Crush? Two University of Arizona Police Department officers got a call reporting the smell of marijuana in the Posada San Pedro Residence Hall. One officer could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from a particular room in the dorm. After knocking twice, a male student and resident of the room allowed the officers to enter, where they smelled marijuana. The officers explained to the resident the reason for the call and asked if he had any marijuana in the room. The student said he didn’t have marijuana in the room, but had smoked earlier that day off campus. The student presented the officers with marijuana paraphernalia, which included a grinder and two prescription bottles. One of the prescription bottles smelled of marijuana and was labeled as “OG Crush.” The officers asked if the student had a medical marijuana card, which the student responded that he did not. They found green shavings in the grinder, which later tested positive for marijuana and weighed 1.2 grams. The resident was then diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of drug paraphernalia.

UA looks at Obama’s cancer hopes BY Amanda Oien
The Daily Wildcat
In President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address on Jan. 12, Obama called for an initiative for the U.S. to cure cancer. “For the loved ones we’ve all lost, for the family we can still save, let’s make America the country that cures cancer once and for all,” he said. Dr. Andrew Kraft, director of the UA Cancer Center, manages all major scientific, clinical and administrative elements at the center and has been director since September 2014. There are currently 45 comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute, and the Cancer Center is the only one of its kind in Arizona. “Cancer research is a little like a car going down a hill. It continues to pick up speed the more we learn. The more we learn, the more novel things we can do,” Kraft said. “Part of it is clearly technology driven so we’re able to, for example, sequence the whole human genome in a matter of days.” Although there are many aspects to cancer research that are demanding, Kraft said the most challenging one is funding. “Any basic or translational research takes outstanding funding and in the present State of the Union, [Obama] talked about committing himself to curing cancer,” Kraft said. “That was first began by Richard Nixon with the ‘War on Cancer’ and we’ve continued, but clearly we continue to need additional funding to make that promise a reality.” The Cancer Center tackles fundraising in

Andrew Kraft, director of the UA Cancer Center, sits in his office in the Arizona Cancer Center on Friday, Jan. 15. Kraft has been involved with planning a run to raise money for cancer research.
several different ways including donations from prominent members of the community who want to support cancer research and events that involve the community. “People have to be motivated to see the cure for cancer and that’s everyone, it’s not only the federal and state governments, but it’s you and I,” Kraft said. Kraft explained that cancer can be treated with local therapy, which can be surgery or radiation. “We are curing many patients up front, so early diagnosis is very important,” Kraft said. “Many times, the smaller the cancer, the easier it is to cure with local means.”
Kraft also said the prevention of cancer is just as important. Advances have been made to prevent cancers from reoccurring by using different therapy methods including chemotherapy and antibodies. Gavin Young, a UA graduate student seeking a master’s degree in electrical engineering, spent four years working at the Cancer Center as a laboratory technician conducting research on mostly lung and colon cancer. “The overarching goal that [Obama] threw out there, I think was quite optimistic to say that we’re going to cure all of cancer,” Young said. “It’s not too much to say that it is probably one of the hardest medical endeavors we have ever
undertaken as a society.” Young said it would have been better for Obama to have made curing a specific cancer, such as colon cancer, his goal rather than all cancers. Young says this is an extremely large and broad umbrella. “When you say, ‘let’s cure all cancers’ as an overarching umbrella term, there are so many different kinds of cancers for different organs, but also different tissues within the organ and then when you’re talking about the different tissues, there’s different kinds of cancers within those tissues,” Young said. “So it’s a huge variety of different cancers that can occur and each one has its own pathologies as well as its own specific treatments.” Young said that during his time at the Cancer Center, he enjoyed the tight-knit community and surprise results the most. “When you run a test and expect to get answer A and you end up getting the opposite of A, that’s really exciting,” Young said. “And more often than not, it leads you down a bigger path in your research than what you originally sought out to show.” Kraft said the future for cancer research looks very bright. “We are learning new things every day,” Kraft said. “We are discovering a lot of genetic causes of cancer, as well as environmental causes and learning much more about potential public health hazards leading to cancer.” — Follow Amanda Oien @amanda_oien

Artists to breakout in 2016 BY KORI HAZEL
The Daily Wildcat
Another year means another wave of new artists hitting the scene. Oftentimes, the music these rising stars create defines the year—or at least how we hear it. What would 2014 have been had Hozier not bulldozed through America with his seminal hit “Take Me to Church”? How would 2015 have sounded had Fetty Wap not taught the world the importance of a “Trap Queen”? While it’s nearly impossible to predict the next viral song, there are plenty of indications who the next inescapable hit may come from. Furthermore, here are the predictions for the sound of 2016. Kiiara If Tove Lo is the embodiment of self-destructive tendencies, then Kiiara represents the refusal to acknowledge them. After releasing the infectious “Gold” in the summer of 2015, as well as the rapidly rising “Feels,” 20-year-old Kiiara is poised to dominate 2016 with her mix of detached electropop and vulnerable vocals.

Stephen Combining a raucous mix of rock and EDM, Stephen bridges the gap between digital and physical mediums. None more apparent than his bombastic cover of Adele’s “Hello” and his original “Crossfire,” it’s very likely that Stephen can bridge the gap from the underground to the forefront of mainstream stardom in 2016. RÜFÜS DU SOL On a similar wavelength as labelmates Odesza, Australian band RÜFÜS DU SOL puts a refreshingly alternative spin on dance music. With the band’s new album Bloom being released Jan. 22 and a packed festival circuit, RÜFÜS DU SOL will no doubt be blowing up in the coming months.

Vic Mensa With co-signs from the likes of Skrillex and Kanye West, and a freshly inked deal with Roc Nation, the Chi-town rapper known as Vic Mensa is probably the most wellknown artist on this list. After numerous delays, his debut album Traffic is set to drop in 2016; and if 2015 was a taste of what’s to come, 2016 is shaping up to be a buffet.

t’s the middle of January and practically every facet of the entertainment industry is smack dab in the middle of awards season, and the music business is no exception. The 58th annual Grammy Awards is on Feb. 15, and the nominees have been chosen. With some obvious choices and a handful of less overplayed-onthe-radio tunes getting hat tips, the night is sure to be an interesting one. The eligibility period of these 2016 Grammy Awards was between Oct. 1, 2014 and Sept. 30, 2015, and during that time, no one could stop talking about Taylor Swift’s 1989 album. Swift is up for seven awards this year, including Record of the Year
and Song of the Year for “Blank Space” and Album of the Year for 1989. With all the hype surrounding the former country singer that embraced her edgier pop side, her list of nominations don’t come as much of a surprise to anyone. Swift may not win every category she is up for, but it’s safe to assume she’ll make it out with at least three or four of those little gold gramophones. The Weeknd is also up for seven awards for his Beauty Behind the Madness album, the ever-popular single “Can’t Feel My Face” and his contribution to the movie soundtrack world with “Earned It.” Swift and The Weeknd may each have a handful of nominations in this year’s Grammy’s, but they’re nowhere near this year’s frontrunner: Kendrick Lamar.
The hip-hop and rap artist released his newest album To Pimp a Butterfly in 2015 to wild success, which earned him nominations for Best Rap Album and Album of the Year. His single “Alright,” which was also released on his new album, is nominated for four awards on its own and is competing with another song that Lamar wrote for Kanye West titled “All Day” for Best Rap Song. Lamar has four other nominations for songs he collaborated on with other artists, giving the 28-year-old 11 Grammy nominations in total. With so many nominations, he’ll undeniably be walking away with his hands full. Every genre has its own award or two, but the four general field awards of the night cross all genre lines and are what most people look forward to. Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year
and Best New Artist nominations can come from literally anywhere on the music spectrum, and this year’s showcase all kinds of talent. This award show’s Best New Artist category includes Courtney Barnett, James Bay, Sam Hunt, Tori Kelly and Meghan Trainor. For an artist to be considered new, they must have released “the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist,” according to the Grammy’s nomination list. With three singersongwriters and a country artist making up four of the five, it seems like honest melodies and a solid guitar is what the Academy is interested in this year. Besides Swift’s, Lamar’s and The Weeknd’s spots on the Album of the Year nomination list, alternative rock band Alabama Shakes got a nod for their Sound & Color album as did Chris Stapleton’s Traveller, a country and bluegrass album.

‘Making a Murderer,’ did he or didn’t he? BY Casey Aldava
The Daily Wildcat
“The truth always comes out, sooner or later.” These are Steven Avery’s last words as he sits in a Wisconsin prison with a life sentence and no possibility for parole for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. The big question on everyone’s mind is, did he do it? Or was he framed by the Manitowoc County Sheriff ’s Department? The Netflix original docuseries follows the 1985 imprisonment of Avery for sexual assault, his exoneration in 2003 with DNA evidence after 18 years in prison, the subsequent $36 million lawsuit against the county and then-sheriff and district attorney, Tom Kocourek and Denis Vogel, and finally his arrest and trial for Halbach’s murder. The series is made up entirely with real-time footage, recorded audio and traditional documentary-style interviews all taken over 10 years by filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi. The pace of the show is slow, almost painfully so at times, to capture every detail, every piece of the puzzle that led Avery to prison; and at other times the careful steadiness adds a realistic, nail-biting suspense. The nature of the show makes deciding to watch it seem like how it is when you’re deciding to go for a long run—you don’t necessarily want to at the start because you know it will be difficult and exhausting, but once you get going, you can’t stop. “Making a Murderer” puts the American justice system on the stand, and while the show is clearly not without bias, the results are still unsettling. How could an innocent man spend 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit and, even worse, when the evidence was clearly pointed at another
man who went on to commit even more sexually violent crimes while Avery was in prison? Many people believe—and what the basic principles of our justice system and political system would like us to believe— is that any person who is truly innocent has nothing to worry about because you can’t be found guilty of something you didn’t do. But this show disproves this belief, definitely once and arguably twice, making it one of the most disturbing aspects of the show. As one of Avery’s defense attorneys Jerry Buting puts it, “We can all say that we’re never going to commit a crime, but we can never guarantee that someone will never accuse us of a crime, and if that happens, … good luck in this criminal justice system.” The blatant, gross corruption of the Manitowoc County Sheriff ’s Department exposed in this show is chilling, to say the least. The way so many people rather cover it up than address it is even worse. This must have resonated with a few people because since the show aired, there has been an unbelievable response—it would seem that when it comes to “Making a Murderer,” whatever you believe, you believe it strongly. And whatever your opinion, this show does one thing in particular very well: it demonstrates that there is no set good guy and bad guy in real life, there is only the truth. All we can do as citizens and possible future jurors, lawyers and even police officers is seek the truth, no matter what it might be.

WORKOUT WITHOUT LEAVING HOME

BY CASEY ALDAVA The Daily Wildcat
With syllabus week over, a new semester is officially upon us. As the semester goes on and everyone gets busy and back into old routines, it will be tempting to replace going to the Student Recreation Center with sleep, Netflix and excuses. As you feel yourself beginning to drift toward ease and convenience, don’t forget that the freshman 15 can be gained at any time and now that the weather is starting to warm back up, swimsuit season is just around the corner. We can all sympathize with homework demands, burdensome classes and work schedules, but who says you can’t have fitness with convenience? Don’t let a busy schedule keep you from making your health a priority. Here are seven simple exercises that require no weights or gym equipment that anyone can do in the comfort of their room. All you need is your sweet self and a killer playlist.
Plank
Bicycle crunches
It’s a staple for a reason. Planking helps tone your core better and faster than any gym machine could. Start by holding it as long as you can and then add 10 to 15 seconds each following time you do it. Do the same for both your right and left sides every day and you’ll be seeing and feeling the results all throughout your midsection.
These crunches give your whole body a workout. Begin by lying on your back with your legs bent and your hands behind your head. Then as you crunch up, move your legs in a bicycle motion and twist your torso so your elbow touches your alternate side’s knee. Continue to alternate your legs and arms as you crunch. Do these in reps of 15 to 20.
Leg raises
Lie on your back with your arms by your side and your legs extended. Slowly raise your legs up and then back down, just hovering without letting them actually touch the ground. Keep your legs straight; you should feel it in your core. Do these in reps of 12 to 15.
Jump squat/ Plié squat
You can choose from these two forms of squats, or do both. The jump squat is a simpler option. After squatting down, jump up and then repeat. For the plié squat, start by crossing one leg over the other, then squat down and keep the crossover leg’s knee over that leg’s ankle, trying not to let the knee go out. The back leg’s knee should be within the bend of the back of the front knee, or touching the back of the calf. You should feel it in your butt and your inner thighs. Do these in reps of 12 to 15.
Wall sit
CASEY ALDAVA/THE DAILY WILDCAT
UA FRESHMAN Marissa Heffernan works out in her dorm room at Arbol de la Vida Residence Hall on Monday, Jan. 18. Many exercises can be done from the convenience of a dorm room.
You can do this easily against any flat wall surface in your room. Sit so that your knees are at a 90-degree angle, and hold it as long as you can. Each time you do it, add 15 seconds.
Lunge twist
Here’s a fun twist on the typical lunge. After lunging, alternate twisting your torso to the right and left. Add an extra challenge by grabbing something heavy such as your backpack or a couple of textbooks and holding them as you lunge. Do reps of 12 to 15.
Push-ups
You can do any version of push-ups that you know. In order to be sure you’re getting a 90-degree angle at your elbows, you can grab a few textbooks or notebooks and try to touch the tip of your nose to them when you go down. These can be done in reps of 12 to 15, or as many as you can.
Do this whole routine in three to five sets every day and don’t feel bad about getting that chocolate chip cookie with your morning coffee. You can use this workout as a study break or to wake yourself up in the morning. Do it with friends or alone, add some yoga stretches into the mix or shake things up afterward with a healthy fruit smoothie. No matter what you do, you will be surprised how an extra 30 minutes of exercise everyday will make you feel healthier, happier and more balanced.

The Rogue stuns Tucson with ‘By the Bog of Cats’ BY Cera Naccarato
The Daily Wildcat
I
find myself seated in The Rogue’s tiny blackbox theatre, silently staring and analyzing the set for the Irish play “By the Bog of Cats” written by Marina Carr. The set is nothing extraordinary; it’s brown and barren with prosaic bog-like platforms, whose eerie and arid tone stand complementary to the tragedy of the “Medea” adaptation. With the ghost of Medea running through the script, the play centers around a gypsy woman named Hester Swane whose traveling and loose nature is rejected by everyone around her. Her ex-lover Carthage, with whom she has a daughter, has recently rejected her for a larger dowry. As a result, she must leave the only home she’s ever known—a tiny caravan on the bog of Cats. On top of this, Hester is told by a Ghost Fancier, a soulcollecting spirit, that she will die today. I expect to bawl my eyes out. My focus is pulled from the set and onto Jake Sorgen—the musical director who is seated house left, playing soulful but yet downright jiggy tunes on his guitar. Samantha Bounkeua skillfully and quite delicately accompanies him on the violin. As the house manager prepares to thank patrons and donors, I search my bag for my notebook in order to take notes of the performance—because that’s what writers and reviewers do, right? I pull out my notebook and shift uncomfortably in my seat and prepare myself for everything that is about to unfold. I tell myself I can do this. I realize I forgot a pen. The lights in the house begin to dim. I frantically search my purse. I have lipstick. Can I take notes for my first column in NARS Cruella shade? It is technically a lip pencil. I see an usher with a pen and think to ask her for it. The older women to my left give me dirty looks. Out of nowhere, I realize I stole a York Peppermint Patty from the front desk without donation. And then, Marissa Garcia claimed the stage
Grammy noms from page 8
It seems as though the eternal question that surrounds Grammy nominations and the awards is the distinction between Record of the Year award and Song of the Year award. Whereas Song of the Year honors the songwriter(s) who wrote the year’s most incredible music, Record of the Year recognizes the performer(s) of the song and the recording team. For Song of the Year, Swift and Lamar’s melodies will compete against Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” and Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See You Again.” The winning song’s writers will be the ones receiving the
and subsequently for two and a half hours, I am not thinking of notes or reviews or (mint) thievery. Instead, I am completely hypnotized by a story of hate, love, passion, obsession, redemption (or the lack thereof) and, in a way, pragmatic mindsets that we maintain in order to justify destruction of ourselves and others. Garcia embodies Hester with every fiber of her being. From her impressively natural Irish dialect, to her malleable and versatile physical life, she became a lowly gypsy woman with a childhood stunted from the mother that abandoned her. While the character of Hester is difficult to sympathize with, she is akin to Medea, after all—Marissa’s ability to full-heartedly commit to her needs and desires compelled me to want to engage in her story as much as she does. There was not a moment in which I could look away. A large cast of equally incredible actors accompanies her. Patty Gallagher, for example, managed to make the vicious Mrs. Kilbride a joy to watch despite the character’s inability to recognize her grandiosely gross nature. David Greenwood gave a powerful example of the strength in stillness—only choosing severe reactions when his character Xavier Cassidy finds his land threatened. And Ryan Parker Knox, whose character Carthage rejected Hester for a larger source of income and traditional marital life, provided a window into a conflicted and grieving man through nuance and clarity. I sat in my seat for several minutes following curtain, overwhelmed with the power of the performance and unsure of the steps to take next. All I know is this: The Rogue provided a riveting piece of theater that touched upon dark depths of the human condition and a pen for notes was completely unnecessary. I collect my things and scattered wits off the floor and leave that catharsis behind me. But not before snagging another peppermint patty. — Follow Cera Naccarato @ceraceratops
awards which, depending on the song, may or may not be the artist themselves. And, of course, for Record of the Year, Swift, The Weeknd, Sheeran, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’s “Uptown Funk” and the lesser-known “Really Love” by D’Angelo and The Vanguard will be crossing their fingers for that gold gramophone. Now that the nominations are out, predictions can begin to be made about who’s guaranteed to win, who could get snubbed and what outrageous performances will grace the stage this February.

artin Luther King Jr. Day became a federal holiday in 1986 to honor and remember King’s invaluable life’s work as an advocate for civil rights. In three of our nation’s states, however, this holiday shares the spotlight with the recognition of another key figure in American history—Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama opted to share the celebration of King’s life with Gen. Lee’s years ago. This year, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is supporting a law that would separate the two holidays. “It’s important that that day be

anyone want to celebrate a figure who supported such an ignorance-fueled “heritage,” or even celebrate the Confederacy in general? The Confederacy stands for values that are not only unethical, but also simply unAmerican. There is no fault in wanting to understand and recognize whatever “ancestry” one may think they come from; but there is fault when that “ancestry”—which represented some of the darkest and most shameful times of our country’s history—is celebrated rather than acknowledged with the intent of learning from the mistakes of the past. That’s what the Confederate States of America was—one enormous, depressing and quite frankly, embarrassing mistake of America’s past. With that said, according to a Reuters article, the fairly recent

his year, it is predicted that over 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. Cancer is one of the top leading causes of death in our country, second only to heart disease. During his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama discussed a new initiative to “cure cancer” in a moonshot. He announced that he was giving “mission control” of this project to Vice President Joe Biden, who recently lost his son to brain cancer. While this is a noble goal, the idea that cancer can be cured is oversimplistic and outdated. In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a similar “war on cancer,” in an attempt to
get rid of the disease. This led to public expectations that it would be a quick process and that a single breakthrough could permanently defeat cancer. Americans were promised that cancer would be cured by 2015, but this is obviously not the case. Unlike polio or smallpox, cancer is not a single disease and therefore does not have a single cure; but many Americans, politicians included, still don’t understand this. Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of mutated cells, which can metastasize and spread to other areas of the body. It is broken down into hundreds of different diseases based on the area of the body affected, the mutation that caused the cancer, or the characterization of the abnormal cells. Brain cancer is treated differently than leukemia. Even for the same exact type of cancer, treatments can vary. In

shooting of nine black worshippers in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in June 2015, has sparked another flame for the discussion of racism still prevalent in present-day America. Why? Because the suspected gunman was known to be a white supremacy supporter, as evidenced by his social media site, which was embellished with Confederate symbols. Opponents of Hutchinson’s push for the separation of the holidays have argued that, aside from the risk of disregarding southern “heritage,” there is no financial basis of why the separation should be passed. According to an article in The Times Picayune, opponents would often argue in committee hearing rooms last year that, “there was no proof Arkansas had lost any economic projects because it commemorates Lee and King on the same day.” However, in the same article, supporters of the law have argued that, “the combined holiday hurts the state’s image and its efforts to attract business.” It is reasonable to believe that implying that the dual celebration of the two men is supported in Arkansas would lead to a hesitancy to participate in economic activities of Arkansas, much less to a hesitancy to associate with a state with that mindset at all.

fact, a great deal of the research being done today is focused on personalized medicine and how to target a specific type of cancer in a specific patient. Cancer is so much more complex than the general public is led to believe. We need to stop using the phrase “cure for cancer,” because there simply is no single cure for cancer. Even after a cancer patient has gone into remission, they are not considered “cured” until they are cancer free for five years. Despite some of the problems in presentation, the moonshot plan has great potential and will provide steady funding to research
of the law in question, told The Times Picayune, “I thought in that particular case we were creating an issue where there wasn’t one.” The fact that Confederate symbols, flags and reverence in present-day America are not regarded as “issues” anymore by some is—at the very least—unsettling. Miller’s statement demonstrates the complacency that the tolerance of Confederate support is approached with by some nowadays. The continuation of attitudes like this will only breed unwanted consequences in our country’s future. Of all the passionate and virtuous leaders of the civil rights era, Lee has no place sharing a day of remembrance with King. Juxtaposing the celebrations of the two men every third Monday of January implies an equal weight to both men’s constructive contributions to what the nation is today. King’s heroism during the civil rights era reigns supreme compared to Lee’s contributions to the time. If desired, states should still retain the right to acknowledge Lee’s military leadership, but it should be held on a different day. The two men’s lives can be recognized separately, but the contributions of the two should not be considered equal in nobility. After all, the concept of “separate but equal” has proven to be unsound in America before. — Follow Jessica Suriano @DailyWildcat

Summer internships for every major BY JULIANNA RENZI The Daily Wildcat
The school year can be intense, filled with exams, extra-curricular activities and work. However, there are multiple ways to spend the summer like lying on a beach with a fresh coconut in one hand and a good book in the other. For aspiring scientists, summer is the perfect chance to make a meaningful contribution to a research project; handson experience is the most effective way to explore what students are passionate about and—perhaps more importantly—learn what students are not passionate about before committing to a career. For science majors today, research experience is becoming less of a privilege and more of an expectation. Most jobs and graduate schools expect applicants to have had some form of experience in their field, regardless of how many courses they take each semester. The good news is research experiences for undergraduates are becoming more widespread and accessible. For aspiring marine scientists, there can be more to a summer and a beach than a good tan—it’s an opportunity to build experience, prepare oneself for graduate school, apply textbook theory in the field and make connections. The same concept applies to all majors. There are paid programs to research astronomy in Puerto Rico, biology in San Francisco, computer science in Florida and geophysics in Antarctica. The National Science Foundation offers funding for a prestigious set of summer projects, called Research Experiences for Undergraduates. Students who are interested can apply to affiliated national and international sites from a myriad of disciplines—transportation, housing and a stipend are all included in the award. “REU programs are fantastic opportunities for students to get exposed to, and involved in, cutting-edge scientific research,” said Dr. Jessica Tierney, a UA professor in the department of geosciences. “You’ll find yourself working with leaders in the field and you’ll get a real hands-on experience, whether that’s in the field or in the lab.” She added that the experience strengthens an applicant’s competitiveness when applying for graduate school. Countless other opportunities for paid research are accessible online, including the George Melendez Wright Young Leaders in Climate Change internship, the Dr. James A. Ferguson Emerging Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program that is run through the Centers for Disease Control, the Public health Leadership and Learning Undergraduate Student Success Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hollings Scholarship. For those less inclined to travel, paid summer research opportunities are available right here on campus. Programs like the Undergraduate Biology Research Program

offer UA students the chance to connect with university faculty and gain experience by working with a mentor on a research project through the summer and following school year. Even though summer is still a semester away, most paid programs have applications due in the winter and require personal statements, transcripts and letters of recommendation. However, even if students miss the deadline for nationally competitive scholarships, there are still opportunities to gain hands-on experience in their field of interest, including independent research stations that offer unpaid internships, which are less expensive
than study abroad programs. These internships offer more flexibility and are often located in around the world: Students can study marine science in Thailand with the Center for Oceanic Research in South East Asia or biology in Namibia with the Cheetah Conservation Fund. Although research is becoming more necessary for undergraduates to succeed in science fields, it is also becoming more accessible and varied. There is nothing left to do but to apply. — Follow Julianna Renzi @ jollyrenzi

One grad’s goal to diversify STEM BY Bailey Bellavance The Daily Wildcat
Geology has long been one of the least diverse STEM fields in the U.S., and one UA graduate student is trying to find out why. Phil Stokes, a graduate student in the department of geosciences, has been researching factors that compel students to study geoscience. Stokes developed interview questions for current and future geoscience students to determine critical incidents— significant events that positively or negatively impacted a student’s life—that steered them toward pursuing a degree in geosciences. Thirty-one students were asked about different times in their lives, from primary school through university, as well as time outside an academic setting. The goal of the interview was to compare the critical incidents of white men, white women and Hispanics. Stokes found that there was variation in critical incidents between both gender and race. “One of the big differences [Stokes] found was that for Hispanic students, there were a lot more conversations about their choice of major in their families than there were among Anglo woman or Anglo men,” said Dr. Karl Flessa, a professor of geosciences and Stokes’ adviser. “Those conversations sometimes were negative

attractive to students and parents. “It’s our responsibility to provide an educational experience that’s safe,” said Mark Yanagihashi, the instructional lab manager and prep-room manager for the university’s chemistry labs. Yanagihashi and Christie both believe integrating greener experiments will have positive impacts. Each experiment begins with a prelab lecture by a teaching assistant. The TA lectures the students on the experiment itself, but also explains the broader significance of what they are doing. Some key points include going over the procedure, safety precautions and requirements for the lab report. For green experiments, the TAs may tweak their lectures to inform the students on how they are dialing back their waste. “As a [TA], it is our duty to relate chemistry to things that we see in everyday life,” said Edon Vitaku, UA chemistry graduate student. Vitaku is currently an active TA for the organic chemistry labs. Vitaku worked with Christie to make green experiments a reality. Both believe that green chemistry is an effective way to represent the positive side of the bad media that “mad science” has gotten in the past. The first step came when Vitaku and Christie both noticed Yanagihashi scaling back some of the first and second semester general chemistry labs.
in Hispanic families. People were uncomfortable with a student’s choice of geology as a major so [Hispanic students] got a little more scrutiny from their family.” Stokes also found that white students had more outdoor experiences during childhood, such as hiking, camping and visiting national parks with family, than Hispanic students did. “The hypothesis here is that those childhood experiences make you enthused about being outdoors and appreciating landscapes and nature, and may make you more inclined to become a geoscience major than if you hadn’t had those experiences,” Flessa said. Research carried out by Stokes also found a difference between academic experiences for both men and women. A statistically significant number of women were found to have had more negative experiences in non-geoscience courses. At this time there is no hypothesis as to the cause of this finding. His research may help increase diversity in one of the least diverse STEM fields in the U.S. Outreach programs and research in geoscience are helping to heighten awareness about the major and help engage underrepresented students earlier in their academic studies.

Safe and cheap: Chemistry labs begin to have green explosions In the general chemistry labs, Yanagihashi realized it was time to stop using beakers and replace them with smaller vials. “Each student generates waste from his or her products, and waste can accumulate over time,” Yanagihashi said. “Students can find trends in their data when they use less liquid during an experiment because the smaller measurements leads to finer precision in the process.” In the meantime, the department has found a creative way to cut back students’ overall end waste. “We reduced our waste by more than 90 percent,” said Dr. Anne Padias, director of academic services for the chemistry department. Using fewer materials in lab saves the department money. So far, the organic chemistry labs alone have managed to save up to 17 percent of the cost of maintaining the labs, according to Padias. In the past, students threw out a cleaning material, acetone, after washing lab materials. With these grants, chemists have put recyclers into the organic chemistry labs to reuse the liquid instead of incinerating it. Even experiments that are not entirely green can cut some waste by scaling down the amount of solvent. Not all experiments will be able to eliminate the use of toxic materials, but less waste means the university has to pay less during disposal. “[Students put] a little more thought into

what they’re doing,” Yanagihashi said. “When students use less material, they become more aware of their precious resource.” Sometimes, TAs will ask the students to form groups to share the material. “The feedback was really positive,” Vitaku said. Going green is also making the labs safer for students. “I think safety and greenness go together,” Yanagihashi said. His general chemistry labs were some of the first to cut out chromium and mercury, two chemicals known to cause cancer. Upon seeing the success in the Yanagihashi labs, Christie started considering ways to cut these materials out of his organic chemistry labs. He proposed replacing chromium reactants with bleach to the Green Fund in his grant application. Bleach is a much safer material that students can flush down sinks. “Because everything is safer to handle, it’s usually easier to do,” he said. The labs are separated into sections for majors and non-majors. After he tested the experiment on the smaller group of students in the major’s lab first to check if it would run smoothly, Christie was able to move the experiment onto the lab benches of second semester general organic chemistry students. Using a less-corrosive material like bleach is not only safer, but it also gives students the hands-on experience of applying household objects to their experiments.
“We’ve tried to relate it to something [students] most likely have at home,” Vitaku said. Chemistry could spark fire for sustainability in students Changing the labs puts sustainability in the curriculum. Sustainable experiments remind students that chemistry has had a historically toxic relationship with the environment, one that they should seek to avoid in their future careers. When students use less material, they become more invested in getting it right the first time. “Hopefully it will open their eyes,” Padias said. She believes Christie and Yanagihashi are both taking baby steps in the right direction. “We’re really just starting,” Christie said. “The important thing is we’re making a move in the right direction. It’s not going to change overnight.” “We need to initiate the spark,” he said. Vitaku hopes that at the end of the day, students will walk home having learned how to cut back on their scientific experiments. Students may have to worry about remembering their goggles and proper pipetting techniques. The stakes in the chemistry labs are still high, but the anxiety is not as it used to be. These days, the only explosions that happen in chemistry labs are the push to go green. — Follow Sarah Rose Vining @DailyWildcat

Memorizing the elements just got tougher BY Elizabeth Hannah The Daily Wildcat
While UA students were sleeping until noon and eating holiday treats, recovering from a long first semester, chemists around the world were hard at work making ground-breaking discoveries. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry announced its approval of four new elements. Scientists from the U.S., Russia and Japan received credit for the discovery of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118—all of which have yet to be given a formal name. The periodic elements are the building blocks of the natural world; without them, life as we know it would not exist. Changes to the periodic table receive international attention and scientists who discover new elements win Nobel Prizes. Each of the four new elements, formally approved on Dec. 30, are synthetic. None of the four are naturally occurring and even the synthetic versions exist only for an instant before decaying. Odds are you won’t conduct any experiments with the newbies in your organic chemistry class. Every chemical element carries its own unique history, shaped by the scientists who discovered it. Some elements have names associated with the places they were discovered, while others are named for ancient myths or
legends. Still, more elements are named in honor of famous scientists or after their unique chemical properties. Elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 will be named in the upcoming months, and we can only speculate what they will eventually be called. Below is a list of suggestions for the newly approved elements, inspired by the names of elements that already exist. Perhaps we’ll see these names appear in the periodic table in the near future. • Researchers synthesized Berkelium (Bk) in 1949 at—you guessed it—the University of California, Berkeley. Element 113 was discovered by a team from Japan’s RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science. With this in mind, “Rikenium” seems an appropriate name for Element 113. • Einsteinium was named to honor the great Albert Einstein, a German physicist who changed the world of science with his revolutionary theories. Element 115 could therefore be named “Darwinium” after the famous Charles Darwin, whose studies in evolutionary biology were made possible by the elements that compose the periodic table. • The Scandinavian god of thunder,

Thor, provides the inspiration for Element 90: thorium (Th). Scientists predict that thorium will eventually replace uranium as the key component of nuclear reactors. The discovery of Element 117 involved a nuclear physics concept known as “island of stability,” which brings to mind water and oceans. In recognition of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, it might be called “Poseidium.”
• Some elements, like chlorine, are named for their properties. “Chloros” is the Greek term for pale green, and gaseous chlorine is also green. Therefore, Element 118 could be named “Polarizabilium,” since it is predicted to be the most polarizable of all previously discovered elements.

National President Barack Obama gave science a starring role in his State of the Union address on Jan. 12. In between the standard dialogue about economics and foreign policy, Obama stressed the need to develop clean energy sources, devote federal money to medical research and innovate new technologies for the future. In an article published on Cell on Jan. 14, geneticists at the University of Washington investigated DNA fragments floating freely in human blood samples. They observed that free-floating DNA in healthy individuals primarily came from nucleosomes, while free-floating DNA in cancerous individuals often came from cancer cells.

Can alcohol make you look older faster? Unfortunately, yes. Lots of things contribute to looking older and alcohol is on the list. And not in a good way. Most people are familiar with the negative effects over-use of alcohol can bring to our internal organs but may not be aware of how it looks on the outside (besides the beer belly, of course). Look no further than the face. How does that work? Alcohol is notoriously dehydrating – it increases the rate at which the body excretes water and limits the absorption of nutrients vital for healthy skin. The dehydrating factor causes your kidneys to pump out more water which is why you’re urinating more when drinking. One way to minimize this effect is to drink plenty of water before, during and after drinking alcohol. Actually, it’s a good idea to drink water, period. Because the drier your skin gets, the more wrinkles you get. Also, alcohol is a vasodilator, meaning it causes the small blood vessels in the face to widen,
Don’t forget the sugary alcohol drinks some of us like. As you may already know, our bodies convert sugar to glucose which attaches to skin proteins. What does that have to do with looking older? Well, the more sugar we consume, the more our body’s collagen and elastin, which help maintain our skin’s firmness and elasticity, get compromised. Bottom line: too much sugar eventually leads to sagging, wrinkled skin. Of course, these effects are a process and don’t mean an overthe-top Friday night will result in extra wrinkles Saturday morning. With moderation of alcohol, sun, diet and no smoking, your skin will look better longer.

Miller’s recruiting back on track BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
S
aturday was one of those feel-good days for Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller. His Arizona Wildcats toppled Washington State after Miller received a verbal commitment from five-star point guard and McDonald’s All-American Kobi Simmons. The Alpharetta, Georgia native from St. Francis High School became the seventh McDonald’s AllAmerican player in the Miller era. As Simmons became the second recruit to give Miller the nod to play in Tucson next season—in addition to blooming big man Lauri Markkanen—this recruiting momentum could lead to more eyeopening players joining Miller’s 2016 recruiting class. “I’ve said it and I’ll say it again tonight—that we’re just getting started,” Miller said in Saturday’s press conference following the win against Washington State. “I believed that this year’s class would be a good one. We’re going to point towards the spring where all the chips will fall and the answers will be here.” Miller also mentioned he would like to add at least four or five more players. One of those has to include another McDonald’s All-American in 6-foot-7 small forward Josh Jackson, who is the No. 3 prospect in the ESPN Top-100 rankings.
If Simmons’ decision to play for Arizona convinces Jackson to play in Tucson, Miller’s recruiting could take the Wildcats to newer heights. “We are very active recruiting,” Miller said. “When you look at our front line and who we lose, that will really jump out at you.” Miller already has a loaded backcourt especially with the strong possibility of Allonzo Trier coming back, but Simmons will look to make an immediate impact as soon as he steps foot on campus. With his size and skill set, Simmons is already one of the most unique point guards in the 2016 recruiting class. And with a name that is a homonym to NBA legend and fivetime champion Kobe Bryant, he will instantly will be placed under the microscope, and respectfully so standing at 6-foot-6 with a lengthy frame. It’s not official yet that Simmons will arrive in the Old Pueblo. Remember that once upon a time in 2015, McDonald’s All-American power forward T.J. Leaf gave Miller his word and backed out while jetting to UCLA to play with his former teammates. Thus, Miller was unable to comment on Simmons’ future of the program without a national letter of intent. With that said, a player like Simmons can highlight any team’s recruiting class with his type of length and athleticism. He has the ability to get to the bucket at will, much like Trier, and also has crafty ball handling skills to get around defenders with ease.

Griffey steps away as ‘Cats split Arizona women’s basketball split its pair of games against Utah and Colorado last weekend, but lost scorer Taryn Griffey to a leave of absence BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
Griffey takes a leave: Following Arizona women’s basketball win against Colorado, it was announced that redshirt freshman point guard Taryn Griffey would be taking a leave of absence for personal reasons with an unknown return date. “She’s just taking a leave of absence for personal reasons, and she’s obviously still a part of
our basketball team and we look forward to having her back,” Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. Griffey has started in 14 games this season and is averaging nine points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. She also leads the team in 3-point field goal percentage (43.3 percent).

Arizona men’s basketball has proven its home dominance time and again this season. But winning on the road? That’s a different story. The No. 12 Wildcats will try to let go of their road woes when they travel to the Bay Area to face Stanford on Thursday night before playing California on Saturday evening. At 3-2 in Pac-12 Conference play, Arizona (15-3, 3-2) can ill afford another league road sweep if it wants to stay among the top of the leaderboard. The Wildcats dropped games to UCLA and USC on their last road trip to The Golden State. Arizona’s prospects of beating Stanford (10-6, 3-2) look encouraging after the UA clobbered Washington State and Washington at home last weekend. Point guard Parker JacksonCartwright was the star of the homestand, who dished out a career high 11 assists against Washington State before dropping 13 points including a trio of 3-pointers against the Huskies. The pair of strong outings served as a morale booster for JacksonCartwright, who was coming off a rough homecoming trip to Los Angeles. “A lot of it is confidence,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said at his weekly press conference Tuesday. “Sometimes a miss affects a player differently. If Allonzo [Trier] misses a three, it’s irrelevant. But sometimes a guy misses, and the reason he’s not that type of shooter or scorer is mindset.” With Trier out for at least another few weeks due to a broken hand injury, Jackson-Cartwright’s uptick comes at a good time for the Wildcats. The sophomore should continue to see an increase in minutes at the one position, along with point guard cohort Kadeem Allen. On Thursday, the duo’s job will be to navigate through a Stanford twothree zone that Miller called as “active a zone as we’ve faced.” “Defensively, although they’re not a pressing team, they force more turnovers than any team we’ve played in our conference,” Miller said. Indeed, the Cardinal rely on a more deliberate pace of play than the
Wildcats are used to. According to kenpom.com, a site that provides tempo-adjusted analytics for college basketball, Stanford’s tempo ranks last in the Pac-12. In short, the Cardinal like to limit possessions as much as possible. Arizona, in return, will need to make the most of its offensive opportunities. Because of Stanford’s tendency to play zone, the Wildcats will need to kick the ball down low and rely on the size of Kaleb Tarczewski, Dusan Ristic and Ryan Anderson. Stanford’s rotation features three 6-foot-9 forwards, but the Cardinal lack a true big man, giving Arizona a potential decisive advantage in the paint. But if the Wildcats can implement an inside-outside attack early on, it will force Stanford’s swingmen to choose between guarding the perimeter and staying in the post. Meanwhile, Arizona’s defensive mission will consist of preventing Stanford from reaching the free throw line at will. The Cardinal are among the nation leaders in free-throw attempts. “They get to the foul line as well as any team we’ve played against,” Miller said. “They do it by driving at four positions, sometimes five positions.” Given that Arizona already lacks depth as it is, the Wildcats cannot afford to get into foul trouble. The Cardinal’s Rosco Allen and Marcus Allen , not related, have both scored double digits in each of Stanford’s past three games. In Stanford’s 77-71 win over rival Cal last week, each Allen recorded a double-double. Reid Travis, Dorian Pickens and Michael Humphrey all also average double digits. “I think Johnny Dawkins and his coaching staff and their team are playing really together,” Miller said. Tip-off for the Stanford game is slated for 8 p.m. local time and will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.

Football lands key defensive hires BY kyle hansen
The Daily Wildcat
H
ead coach Rich Rodriguez and company made a splash Monday with the announcement of hiring Marcel Yates as the Wildcats’ new defensive coordinator. Rodriguez also hired Donte Williams as a defensive assistant. Williams served as the secondaries coach for the San Jose State Spartans over the past three seasons. Yates comes to Tucson via Boise State, where he guided the Broncos to one of the better defenses in college football. In 2015, Boise State ranked No. 24 in yards allowed per game, as well as No. 26 in points allowed per game. The Wildcats defense has consistently been at the bottom of the college football world, ranking No. 106 in points per game allowed and No. 114 in yards per game. In short, Yates will be tasked with fixing the weakest link on this Arizona football team. While the defense did struggle, Arizona had several impact players who made a difference, but will be gone next year. This includes AllAmerican linebacker Scooby Wright III, who left for the NFL Draft one year early.
Safeties Will Parks and Jamar Allah will also be gone, as well as defensive lineman Reggie Gilbert. One common enemy Arizona and Yates had last season was the University of Washington. Boise State faced Washington the first game of the season. The Broncos defense held the Huskies to only 13 points and 179 of total yards on offense. However, Arizona’s outcome was a little different. The Wildcats were blown out by the Huskies, 49-3. Washington’s offense ran wild, as they racked up 468 total yards on offense and averaged about 7.7 yards per play. Yates and Williams have been praised as smart hires and it’s hard to argue against that. Both are considered bright, young coaches with recruiting connections in California. Yates grew up in the Los Angeles area and has experience coaching at big schools, as he coached at Texas A&M before he went to Boise State. Williams also has experience working in the Pac-12. According to the San Jose Mercury News, he spent time under Steve Sarkisian as a graduate assistant at Washington. Another major question surrounding these hires is what defensive scheme Arizona will run next season. Under former defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel, Arizona ran a 3-3-5. Yates ran a 4-2-5 defense with Boise State. This

defensive strategy relies on good pressure from the lineman who are spread out wide while also keeping safeties roaming to protect the deep ball, but close enough to help in run stopping. Only time will tell what option he chooses to use. As for recruiting, both have some interesting talent to work with as they come in. Despite losing a bunch of players, Arizona will retain this
year’s defensive standout in Paul Magloire. The Wildcats will get a chance to work with a few three star defensive recruits, including linebacker Kahi Neves, London Iakopo and local Tucson player Justin Holt; and there is still plenty of recruiting to be done.

GymCats move to 2-0, No. 5 UCLA next BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona gymnastics team improved to 2-0 on the season Sunday, as the Wildcats defeated Texas Woman’s University 193.475192.450 in Dallas. Arizona showed some inconsistencies that weren’t apparent in the team’s first meet of the season. Although the GymCats earned better team scores in three of the four events, five of their individual performances were uncharacteristically low. “There were a lot of highlights and moments of brilliance,” Arizona head coach Tabitha Yim said in a press release. “It was nice to see some new faces in the lineup. We had some uncharacteristic performances and gained valuable experience and lessons from our time in Denton. We look forward to getting back to work and for our next home meet on Saturday.” Those uncharacteristic performances came from Lauryn Mattson, Krysten Howard, Lexi Mills and Maddy Cindric, where the Wildcats especially struggled on beam, having to count multiple falls. Arizona combined for a total team score of 48.925 on uneven bars to open the event. Gabby Laub walked away with the second highest score in any event for either team with a 9.825. Selynna Felix-Terrazas also impressed in the event with a score of 9.800.

The GymCats then moved onto their second rotation of vault, which three Wildcats tied with scores of 9.675. Jessie Sisler, Shelby Edwards and Cindirc led the way for Arizona. Moving onto the third event with the floor rotation, Kennady Schneider led the way for the second straight week with a 9.800 to take first place. From there, three Wildcats added scores of 9.750 to finish with a team floor score of 48.775. On their final rotation, the GymCats were forced to count two falls, but still managed to walk away with the victory. Sisler scored the highest number between the two teams in any competition with a 9.850. Arizona will face off against Pac-12 Conference opponent UCLA in McKale Center on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks. The No. 5 Bruins are coming off a second place finish against No. 3 Florida, a meet in which they managed to earn a total score of 196.925. Senior Danusia Francis is coming off a 9.95 score on beam, from which UCLA earned six career-high marks. UCLA has historically given Arizona much trouble over the past few years as the Wildcats have lost both meets against the Bruins in the past two years.

Cardinals rebirth leads to deep playoff run Ivan Leonard
The Daily Wildcat
Though the Arizona Cardinals are experiencing a run of success, it is easy to forget the direction this franchise was headed three years ago. Larry Fitzgerald was coming off his worst season since his rookie year, Carson Palmer was coming off of a forgettable stint with the Raiders, and the Cardinals as a whole were only 4-12. Enter Bruce Arians, an offensive coordinator with the Colts who become an interim head coach in 2012 and led the Cardinals to a 9-3 record to finish the year at 11-5. He would win Coach of the Year that year and his success earned him the Cardinals coaching job. Under Arians, the Cardinals have improved every season with a 10-6 record in 2013, an 11-5 record and playoff berth last year and this season, the Cardinals won the NFC West with a 13-3 record. In their playoff opener, the Cardinals seemed to be cruising to a victory up 20-13 with under a minute left—until Aaron Rodgers happened. After the reigning MVP converted on both a fourth and 20 from his own 2-yard line and a Hail Mary to send the game to overtime with

heaves to their fifth-string receiver, it seemed bad, but the Cardinals remained composed. Larry Fitzgerald added another deep play to his playoff highlight reel with a 75-yard catch and run and then the game-winning score a few plays later.

the way she is, and we need her to do that. She gave us a huge lift.” The Wildcats now sit at 11-7 overall and 2-4 in the Pac-12 Conference, which puts them ninth in the standings. Rivalry week: The team will now get set for two matchups against No. 10 ASU this week—the first being in Tempe on Friday at 7 p.m. and the second in Tucson on Sunday at 5 p.m. ASU, which has won 12 games in a row, is a perfect 6-0 in the conference and 15-3 overall. It also has won eight of the last nine matchups against Arizona, but the Wildcats did come away with a victory just two seasons ago in McKale Center. Both games will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.

Carson Palmer rebounded from his second knee injury by putting up an MVPcaliber season with over 4,600 yards and 35 touchdowns to only 11 interceptions. After going 12-28 from 2010 to 2012, he has flipped the switch and gone 29-9 since coming to
Arizona, including 25 out of his last 30. Fitzgerald earned a trip to his ninth Pro Bowl with 109 catches for 1215 yards and nine touchdowns, but just like old times, he saved his best for the postseason. Over the span of eight playoff games, Larry Fitzgerald has recorded 53 catches for 912 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 114 yards per game is a whole 42 yards more than his regular season average. In case you need a reminder, the Cardinals only recorded eight first downs and 78 yards of offense with the team losing the lead after halftime. The only thing standing between them and a Super Bowl berth is a Panthers team featuring likely-MVP Cam Newton and possible Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly. This year’s game will not be any easier, but with Carson Palmer playing lights out this season, this could be the game of the year. This season has been a revival for Palmer, Fitzgerald and even the Kangol hat. All that is missing is a return to the Super Bowl.
