New Gov. chops budget In-state universities at risk of losing $75 million if Ducey’s 2016 budget approved

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Gov. Doug Ducey announced his 2016 fiscal year budget proposal on Friday at the State of the State address, in which he proposed a 10-percent cut

in funding to higher education which could mean nearly a $22-million cut to the UA. Ducey announced a budget plan that would cut funding to Arizona’s three state universities totaling about $75 million, leaving Arizona State

University with a $40-million cut and Northern Arizona University with a $13-million cut.

The funding to state universities would be given based on student enrollment at each university, as outlined in Ducey’s Executive Budget Summary.

Shortly after Ducey announced the proposed budget on Friday, UA President Ann Weaver Hart and Arizona Board of Regents President

Several UA colleges received national recognition from various organizations, ranking them highly alongside similar top programs from across the country.

The UA’s College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture, College of Nursing and Eller College of Management received national rankings for 2015.

“This kind of result cannot happen by virtue of a few people,” said Robert Miller, director of the UA School of Architecture. “It is the result of students, faculty and staff working together to develop a strong culture of critical practice, then, by having our graduates take their skill and knowledge out into practice and make a difference.”

The UA undergraduate architecture program is ranked in the top 20 programs of 2015 nationwide by America’s Best Architecture Schools 2014.

Since 2010, this marks the third time that the School of Architecture has been in the top 20 out of 154 programs.

“It shows that our graduates are well and competitively trained and that they are recognized as such by architecture firms across the country,” Miller said.

According to the U.S. News and World Report, UA’s College of Nursing was ranked 36 in the country for Best Online Nursing Schools & Master’s Programs 2015, which means that the UA has the highest ranked online nursing program in the state of Arizona.

The program offers three advanced degree programs: Doctor of Nursing Practice, Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing and Registered Nurse to Master of Science in Clinical Systems Leadership.

“The online program is great because our staff and faculty are really committed to making a program for working nurses. … They can take classes all over the country and the world, even,” said Janelle Drumwright, Communications Manager at the UA College of Nursing.

The program’s first graduating class graduated in 2014.

First conference attracts large crowds

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

The Black Life Matters Conference was held at the UA last week in hopes of impacting communities locally and nationally.

“I think that the conference itself has been amazing,” said April Petillo, a member of the Black Life Matters Conference planning committee. “The turnout has been amazing. The conversations have been inspiring, uplifting, challenging, loving, hard hitting, everything you expected and nothing you expect all wrapped up into one big ball of good things.”

The open-forum, interactive discussion addressed disparities, “Global Blackness,” sexuality, criminalizing black lives, violence

in black women’s lives and immigration.

“The idea was to talk about the fact that there are these systems out there that contribute to the demise of black people in multiple ways,” Petillo said. “We just needed a space to really talk and keep it real.”

Petillo is an American Indian Studies program graduate student and the community facilitator and graduate assistant for African American Student Affairs.

“To be in a room full of people who are passionately thinking about these issues and thinking about them creatively — likeminded but also with sort of different ways of seeing it, is just incredibly nourishing,” Keynote

Law program shows decrease in enrollment

BY Holly Halstead The Daily Wildcat

Student enrollment into law school has declined across the country, including at the UA’s James E. Rogers College of Law. “There was a 10-percent decline in applications last year and another 10-percent decline again this year,” said Marc Miller, the Dean and Ralph W. Bilby Professor of Law at the UA’s College of Law. According to the American Bar Association, applications to law schools across the country are down 37 percent since 2010, and the firstyear class of 2014 could be the smallest class in the last 40 years.

American law schools face a dramatic drop in applications nationwide. Applications were once as high as 100,000 a year and are now down to about 50,000.

“No one is immune,” Miller said.

“We aren’t.”

Recent reports have surfaced online stating Law School Admissions Test scores have dropped in recent years and that it is now easier to get into law school than it has been in the past. According to Businessweek, the UA is among a laundry list of schools who have experienced a drop in LSAT scores from 2010-2013.

Although this is technically true, the data does not accurately represent the majority of students taking the

LSATs, as it only accounts for the 25th percentile of scores.

“The 25th percentile [of LSAT scores] is really an incomplete picture unless you look at the median and 75th percentile scores as well,” said Nancy Stanley, the Assistant Dean of Advancement for the UA’s College of Law. Although the UA’s 25th percentile LSAT scores were down 6 points, the median score has remained virtually unchanged.

According to research conducted by the Law School Admission Council, it seems that not as many students are attending graduate school as in recent years; they seem to be pursuing nonprofessional careers, which do not

core mission while also maximizing the benefits of the state of Arizona.

“These tough decisions will not be easy, but it is not easy for anyone,” Hart said in an email statement sent to students and faculty. “We all understand and appreciate that these tough decisions cannot be without consequences. This will alter our course and reduce the field of liberty in which we make decisions about the future structure and operations of the University of Arizona.”

Issac Ortega, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said that the decreasing state support for our universities is surprising in some ways but not in others. He said that he understands Arizona is in a tough position and is still recovering from the Great

Recession.

“I’m disheartened to see that our state is really divesting in our universities,” Ortega said. “It’s tough to see because we are doing so many great things on all three campuses, particularly [the] UA, that we do nationwide for our state, city and all around.”

Ortega said that ASUA will work to stay in conversation with as many people as possible to figure out what needs to be done to maintain the quality of education at the UA. In Klein’s statement, she said this is a turning point as far as higher education in Arizona goes, and while delivering a balanced budget comes with complex issues, defunding our universities is not a proper solution for the state’s economic struggles.

Klein said that only a quarter of Arizona’s three state universities’ funding comes from the state and that tuition funds the majority of

operating budgets for each school, noting that the Arizona Board of Regents’ relationship with the state is “dramatically” and “rapidly” changing.

Throughout Arizona’s economic troubles during the Great Recession, higher education cuts took a huge toll on Arizona’s university system, in areas such as workforce reductions, furloughs, closed academic programs, schools and campus sites and more, Klein said.

“Tuition also increased because of the deep cuts,” Klein said. “Arizona leads the nation in funding cuts and tuition increases.”

Klein stressed the importance of the bachelor’s degree, stating that two-thirds of Arizona jobs will require a bachelor’s degree by 2018.

Perry is a professor at Princeton who teaches students how to investigate African-American experiences and culture using different methodologies.

“It’s important to have those times when you’re in conversation with people who care about the same kind of issues as you,” Perry said. “Who all are trying to think about what the next step is, where do we go from here and how do we imagine differently.”

Will Thornton is originally from Flagstaff but now lives and goes to school in New York.

He came down to visit friends and family, learned about the conference and changed his plane ticket so he could stay longer and attend.

“I’ve gone through a lot of emotions,” Thornton said.

“Sometimes it was really sad and moving, and other times I got really angry, but for the most part, it’s been really inspiring.

I’ve gotten really good ideas that I think will help me be a better organizer when I go back to New York.”

“I think the range of approaches to talking about the question of where to go and how to move forward had been really impressive,” Sloan said.

When Sloan spoke, she asked the audience to be silent for more than four minutes as a way of re-envisioning a riot.

“It’s been a wonderful experience being here,” Perry said. “To be completely honest, Arizona gets a bad rap on a lot of these issues. But my experience being here is that there are so many wonderful people here who are really committed and dedicated.”

Perry said she is excited to be addressing these complex “racial issues through the lens of class, sexuality and gender.”

“I want to see that people are understanding that it’s not about just talking across, but it’s about talking to your own,” Petillo said.

“Black people reminding black people we got this, and we got each other.”

The entire conference was streamed live via the conference website. Petillo explained that, Thursday alone, they received 7500 views from 2000 unique visitors.

Although those being trained in the profession are fewer in number, careers in the law sector are continuing to grow at a steady pace. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is a projected 10-percent growth from 2012-2022, which is about as fast as average for all occupations.

require additional schooling.

In order to combat the decline in applicants, Miller explained that the UA’s law school is focusing on maintaining the quality of their classes; as a result of the smaller number of applicants, they are able to offer smaller class sizes.

Another way the law school is making up for the loss of applicants is by increasing the number of international students in the JD program.

“A typical class now is probably 105 U.S. students and 29-30 international students,” Miller said.

The fees are too damn high

BY Jessica Terrones The Daily Wildcat

W

hen three random students were asked what the UA student fees were, their responses were either they didn’t know or that they were just more charges. These fees are included in our tuition and charged to our bursar’s accounts.

The Bursar’s Office website gives a very brief and unclear description of each fee listed.

Every student is charged for an Arizona Financial Aid Trust Fee, Health Fee, Information Technology/ Library Fee, Media Fee, Recreation Center Bond Fee, Recreation Center Program Fee, Student Services Fee and Wildcat Events Board Fee. Freshmen are charged for a “Freshman Fee.” Students are charged every semester without being informed of what fees mean or include.

When pre-architecture freshman Tiana Hernandez was asked to describe the contents of these fees, she responded, “Isn’t that just another thing the school charges us?”

Science education freshman Mckenzie Seeley stated she perceives they’re required but doesn’t “know what they’re used for.”

The Information Technology/Library Fee charges students taking seven or more units $240 a semester to “upgrade and expand the University’s capacity to provide this essential operating environment.” When Hernandez was shown this description of the fee, she said she still wasn’t sure what her money was being used for.

How can the university expect students to pay mandatory fees when they have no clear understanding of what they’re paying for?

“I think that if the fees had a better description on UAccess, then students would be more understanding of the fees,” prephysiology freshman Katie Christopher said.

For other fees, though, a deeper understanding can lead students to be less understanding. Consider the Health and Recreation Fee that charges students taking seven or more units $150 a semester. The fee is intended to “provide funding to sustain student health services … as well as support operational, maintenance and service costs for the Campus Recreation Centers.” The Recreation Center Bond and Recreation Program fees charge students for the funding of the recreation center.

Firstly, why do students taking more than seven units get charged more? What does a student taking more units have to do with how much they use the facilities?

Why should students who don’t visit Campus Health Service and don’t use the Student Recreation Center have to pay for these facilities’ funding?

It makes sense to assume students will use these services and to charge them accordingly, but can’t students who address their needs elsewhere opt out?

“I know a lot of people who work out at other gyms,” Christopher said, “so why should they have to pay?”

Access to a gym and a pharmacy aren’t integral to the university experience; students should be able to purchase an education without being strong-armed into buying additional services. However, it is possible to opt out of certain fees.

“Some of the opt-out fees include the Recreation Center Fees and the Wildcat Events Board Fee,” said ASUA Sen. Elena Gold, a member of the Student Services Fee Board, “but others, such as the Student Services Fee, are mandatory. … These fees are essential to provide services that the student body needs.”

If the services provided by these mandatory fees are so important for funding the university’s expenses and scholarships, they should be absorbed into tuition. The arbitrary distinctions feel dishonest. An additional “fee” should denote an additional service, and additional services should be optional.

But the opt-out system Gold describes is useless. If a student wishes to opt out of a non-mandatory fee, they can write a letter to the organization behind that fee and ask for a refund, and the organization will determine if it is justifiable. That’s a lot of time, effort and waiting.

After hearing a breakdown of the fees, Hernandez, Seeley and Christopher were still confused about what they were paying for and why they were paying for services they’ve never used.

The fee descriptions on the Bursar’s website are unclear. Perhaps if they gave a line-by-line breakdown of each fee’s implementation, the university could avoid fights with students about mandatory fees. But even then, an opt-out possibility for non-academic fees needs to be more approachable.

School isn’t cheap. Asking students to pay blindly for things they don’t understand or to finance others’ services is unreasonable.

Students should be able to explain their student fees when asked about them. Instead, they only seem confused and overburdened.

Editorial: University cuts are irresponsible, unfair

BY Editorial board The Daily Wildcat

L

ast year, while explaining the Daily Wildcat’s endorsement of Fred DuVal in the gubernatorial race, the editorial warned that “Doug Ducey’s solution to education … is to tighten colleges’ budgets.”

Well, that wasn’t a lie. One of his first ideas to tighten the budget was to do just that: cut college funding.

Still, we were hopeful that a new governor would bring new policies, not lead us further down a dangerous path of taking away needed funds for education.

Before Friday, Arizona already had the highest post-recession cuts to higher education in the country. Inflationadjusted tuition has risen 80 percent, and per-pupil spending is down 48 percent.

New Mexico’s public university tuition, by comparison, has only risen 25 percent since 2008.

And on Friday, Gov. Ducey released a budget proposal that would make those numbers even worse.

The governor’s budget proposal for the fiscal year that begins July 1 includes a 10 percent funding cut to state universities, $75 million total. $22 million of that will come out of the UA’s coffers.

Community colleges are hit even harder: Pima, Maricopa and Pinal county colleges will see their state funds cut in half.

Someone should tell Ducey that selfishness is not a governing principle and

admirably wants to funnel more funding into K-12 classrooms, a goal for which we commend him. Primary education deserves to be well-funded in order to prepare future university students who will become part of an educated workforce; however, this should not come at the expense of another educational institution.

Ducey meant to draw attention with his statement to the budget’s $134 million increase in K-12 classroom funding. But Ducey’s budget also cuts $113 million from non-classroom school funding, $10 million from charter schools and $24 million from the bonus fund for successful schools, meaning that K-12 schools will see a net reduction in funding. Moreover, Ducey’s budget doesn’t implement the courtmandated $331 million increase in schools’ funding, a defiance that is sure to cost the state more in the long run.

In short, all schools suffer under the new budget proposal.

We’re tired of having this conversation every year as we watch more and more of the UA’s state funding erode away. This has to stop.

It’s time for our politicians to stop bandying phrases like “tough decisions” and “shared burdens” before turning around and picking on the easiest population to target in this state: the youth.

If we keep digging this hole, the sand is going to collapse in on us eventually.

that public universities are infinitely more vital to the state budget than, say, prisons — which receive an increased slice of pie under Ducey’s plan.

In an attempt to cover a $533 million budget shortfall, Ducey tried everything — except, of course, raising taxes. The proposal slashes higher education, doubles the prices of vehicle licenses, reduces highway fund and cuts employee health care, but Ducey doesn’t ask citizens to pitch in even a dime.

The best part is that the budget doesn’t even balance unless we reach a level of job growth and income increases that the state hasn’t seen since 2007.

University students are tired of bearing the brunt of bad economic policies that were enacted before we were old enough to vote. It’s time that this state began to value education, and good value comes at a cost. As ASU President Michael Crow said on Friday, “[This budget is] just out of alignment to me.”

Surely even Ducey can see the imbalance in a proposal that aims to improve the state economy by cutting the state’s primary sources of skilled labor. And surely the state legislature can see the unfairness in asking students alone to shoulder over $10,600 a year (the base tuition for UA main campus undergraduates this year) for an education that our entire state economy relies upon.

What’s interesting is that Ducey’s speech waxed poetic about how his plan “sets priorities, and it will also protect vital commitments like … classrooms.” Yet these priorities ignore half the problem. Ducey

Cosby allegations ruin work

BY Tom Johnson

The Daily Wildcat

I

could dance around the matter, but I’ll just get straight to the point and say this column is about Bill Cosby being a rapist.

Well, technically an “alleged” rapist, but given how many women have come forward, his plausible deniability is nil, like a fig leaf on a landfill of Jell-O pudding pops, rotting and melting in the sun.

A variety of conversations arose in the wake of the Cosby scandal, from discussions about the way women are not given the benefit of the doubt in these situations to debates on whether the idea of sex as a “game” to be “won” by men in our society creates horrors such as these.

But, there is another question this situation brings up: What do we do when artists we admire turn out to be complete scum?

I mean, we have an easier time acknowledging it when they’re dead. Nerd

We cannot let them still stand as cultural icons because of the people they hurt, but we cannot dislodge the memories of the good they did for our souls.

Perhaps this is why The Death of the Author theory was invented: to keep the love of what a creator makes from being tainted by who the creator is. But as long as a creator is still around to make money from our support, we’re ultimately ethically obligated to be good consumers who put our money where our mouths are.

So, you can keep watching “The Cosby Show” — but only if you pirate the episodes.

god H.P. Lovecraft was a huge racist, and, to ruin your childhood, Roald Dahl was a big ol’ anti-Semite. But they are gone, so we can feel isolated from their prejudiced views while we enjoy their work.

But then, what of the ones who still live? My father is a huge Led Zeppelin fan, even though Jimmy Page reportedly kidnapped and raped a 14-year-old girl. I used to love the writer Chris H. Wolf and video maker Jon Jafari, until I got more and more disgusted with their reactionary politics.

Ignoring it all and just following their work without supporting them may work for some. But for others, the cognitive dissonance drowns out the good of their work, like finding out that most vanilla flavoring comes from beaver rear glands.

A non-UA-affiliated individual was arrested on Jan. 9 after being found lingering among the bike racks on the west side of the Steward Observatory.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the call after a UAPD police aide had seen a man walking around the area.

When the officer approached, the man said, “I’m not doing anything wrong.”

The officer then asked for identification and realized that the man already had an active warrant with UAPD until June 2015 for trespassing.

When the officer asked the man why he was on campus, he said he needed to get care from the University of Arizona Medical Center for a cyst on his chest.

He began pulling up his shirt to show the officer the cyst; however, the officer did not notice any physical problems.

The man told the officer he was aware of his exclusionary order, but he did not think walking through campus was a direct violation of the order.

When the officer was searching the man, he found two marijuana pipes, a napkin with marijuana in it and three credit cards with different names on them.

The individual was arrested for trespassing and was booked into Pima County Jail.

Just arrest me already

A non-UA-affiliated individual was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol on Jan. 10.

A UAPD officer was driving toward the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Third Avenue when he noticed a vehicle swerving in and out of lanes and going 45 mph in a 35 mph zone.

The officer made contact with the driver and asked him to show his identification, vehicle registration and insurance.

The officer noticed that the driver had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, and the officer asked the driver if he had been drinking.

The man replied, “No, I’m the drunk driver.”

After running the man’s information, the officer noticed that he was under the legal age of 21 and asked him to step out of the car.

When the man exited the car, the officer noticed that he had trouble walking straight and was swaying back and forth before eventually falling.

The officer attempted to do more sobriety tests on the individual. However, he was unable to complete them and said to the officer, “Fuck, man. Just arrest me. I’m a fucking idiot. I drove drunk, and I shouldn’t have. Just arrest me already.”

When the officer took the man to the station for breath samples, the individual said he would like to have his blood drawn instead of using a breath sample.

While the officer was looking for a phlebotomist, the individual got sick and vomited in a nearby trash can, passed out and was unresponsive.

The officer called Tucson Fire Department to evaluate the individual.

TFD determined that the man did not need medical attention, and he was taken to Pima County Jail where he was booked for driving under the influence.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Arizona moves up to No. 7 After dropping to No. 10 overall after losing to Oregon State, the Wildcats have climbed back up in the national rankings

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Fresh off back-to-back wins over Colorado and then-No. 8 and now-No. 12 Utah, the Arizona men’s basketball team has jumped from No. 10 to No. 7 in both this week’s AP Top 25 poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll.

The two dominant wins, combined with losses for then-No. 6 Louisville, Utah and then-No. 9 Kansas, allowed Arizona (16-2, 4-1 Pac-12 Conference) to climb higher in the polls. The Wildcats are just 54 points behind No. 6 Wisconsin and hold a sizeable 173-point margin over No. 8 Notre Dame.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller said he’s not really worried about rankings or outside noise.

“For us, it’s trying to really stay with the process,” Miller said. “Practice matters, coaching these players matters, improvement, how much better can our team get, not really being distracted by what people are saying about us, good or bad.”

Regardless, after starting out the season at No. 2 overall, Arizona has a great chance to jump back in the top five with big road games against Stanford and California looming large this weekend. Not to mention the road trips to Washington and Utah still on the schedule.

As a side note, Arizona has now been ranked in the top 10 of the AP Top 25 poll for 31 consecutive weeks.

T.J. McConnell passes and shoots to win

Freshman standout Stanley Johnson has been named the Pac-12 and NCAA.com Player of the Week for his performances in victories over Colorado and Utah this past week.

Johnson averaged 20 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.0 assists for an Arizona team that won both games by double-digits.

This is the second time this season Johnson was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week, as he earned the award on Dec. 1 for his performance during Arizona’s Maui Invitational championship run.

“We have this saying, ‘All in,’ [and] he’s just really bought into that,” Arizona point guard T.J. McConnell said. “In the beginning, it was tough for all of us, playing with new guys.

Stanley has really bought in and been all in, and it shows by the ways he’s been playing and the way the team’s been playing.”

Johnson joins Cal’s Tyrone Wallace as the only two players to win more than one Pac-12

GymCats learn from pair of meets

Butts, ’Cats drop sixth straight Pac12 contest

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

The No. 22 Arizona women’s gymnastics team earned first place at its first home meet of the regular season in McKale Center on Friday in what coach Bill Ryden called a “learning experience” for the team.

The GymCats earned the first-place victory in the quad meet with a final team score of 195.250 against University of Illinois-Chicago, University of WisconsinStout and Sacramento State.

“It was a good learning meet for us,” Ryden said. “It’s real obvious we have young kids that are still trying to figure it out. We made a lot of little ticky-tack errors tonight. Considering all that we have overcome — and, honestly, feel we are still coming back from that stuff — I think it was a good step forward.”

The GymCats started the meet off on vault and earned a team score of 48.775 behind a 9.875 score from junior Shelby Edwards.

On bars, the Wildcats finished with a score of 48.875. On beam, senior Shay Fox had the highest score for Arizona with a 9.850, contributing to the total team score of 48.500.

Arizona finished the meet on floor with a total team score of 49.100 led by senior Allie Flores, who scored a 9.875.

The meet was also the first opportunity for three freshmen to experience competing in front of a home crowd of 1,902, and they did

not disappoint. Freshman Madison Cindric contributed scores of 9.575 on vault, 9.750 on beam and 9.825 on floor, Victoria Ortiz added a 9.875 on bars and Kennady Schneider had scores of 9.475 on beam and 9.825 on floor.

“Just hearing our chants

and our names being screamed out just pushed us further and inspired us to do it for our fans,” Schneider said. “They are the ultimate reason why we love this sport.”

GYMNASTICS, 7

Arizona women’s basketball continued its slide over the weekend when it traveled to the Bay Area to take on Stanford and California. The Wildcats lost both matchups, falling to 7-10 on the year and 0-6 in conference play.

On Sunday, the UA put up a tough fight against Cal before eventually losing 68-56 at Haas Pavilion.

Down by as much as 17 points, Arizona rallied all the way back in the second half to claim a two-point lead with 5:47 to go.

However, Cal took command from there, outscoring the Wildcats 19-8 in the final five minutes.

The game followed an all too familiar pattern for Arizona this season. The UA has continuously fallen behind early before making a valiant comeback, only to see it fall short.

This time, the rally was sparked by the Wildcats’ ability to get to the charity stripe.

As a team, they knocked down 19 of 23 freethrow attempts.

Arizona played with a more aggressive attitude in all areas, whether it was attacking the Bears on the offensive end or going after rebounds and loose balls.

The UA crashed the glass better than it had all season, winning the rebounding margin 45-42, including 18 offensive boards that translated into a number of secondchance opportunities.

Point guard Candice Warthen led the Wildcats with 14 points but only made 5-20 field goal attempts. UA guard Charise Holloway and forward Breanna Workman also reached double digits, each scoring 12 points.

In the final minutes, with the game in the balance, Arizona just couldn’t come up with enough baskets to keep pace with the Bears.

Player of the Week award this season.

In McConnell they trust

Even from the outside looking in, McConnell’s value to this Arizona team cannot be understated.

The fifth-year senior holds season averages of 9.1 points, 5.9 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 steals and has an assist to turnover ratio of 3.12.

McConnell has taken up a score-when-necessary role, as he often scores when the Wildcats need it most. Just look at the first half of the Utah game.

McConnell put up 12 points and easily made up for the combined four points from Johnson, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and the entirety of the bench.

As McConnell put it, his play is a combination of the coaching staff telling him to be more aggressive in taking what the defense gives him.

“It’s a little bit of both — coach Miller has told me to be more aggressive,” McConnell said. “He’s telling me to be aggressive, and I’m just letting the game come to me. We were a little stagnant on offense in the beginning [against Utah], and I saw my opportunity to give us a little spark. It worked out for us.”

As the season progresses, having a version of McConnell who can both pass and shoot should be a deadly weapon for Miller and his staff to make use of.

It was a good learning meet for us

EXTRA SPECIAL NEW YEAR’S EDITION! Why drinking less may be the best resolution you’ll make this year

If you’re like us, you’re probably over New Year’s resolutions by now – yet for some reason we keep reading articles and posts about them. Hope springs eternal, right? Make no mistake, change can be a pain and old habits die hard. But should you muster the time and energy to do something different this year, our advice is to pick a goal that offers a big return on investment and is actually doable.

Looking for something that fits the bill? Consider drinking just a little bit less in 2015, no matter what kind of drinker you are. You can do this by setting a limit on the drinks you’ll have each night, avoiding/cutting back on hard alcohol, pacing yourself, and sticking to beer over liquor and mixed drinks, since beer typically has less alcohol by volume.

Take the Red Cup New Year’s Challenge by shaving off a few drinks each night and see for yourself.

HERE’S WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU: The Sweet Spot – In the paradoxical world of alcohol, less is more.

Having fewer drinks will help you maintain your social buzz longer and avoid the pitfalls of overindulgence (e.g. drama, puking, regrets, blackouts, hangovers, MIPs).

Calories – As in less of them. Curbing your alcohol intake may be the easiest way to cut empty calories and help you maintain a healthy weight.

GPA – You don’t need a 4.0 to know that as drinking goes up, grades go down. If you’re looking to bump up your GPA and finish the year strong, this is the resolution for you.

Moola – Alcohol can be pricey, and that’s before any potential alcohol-induced legal trouble. Scale back and keep more of your hard earned cash.

Mojo – According to Urban Dictionary, mojo “means a charm or a spell, but now more commonly means sex appeal or talent.”

Drink less and stay in control if you want mo’ of it.

Tucson GETS JAZZY Tucson’s first-ever Tucson Jazz Festival livens up downtown

BY Victoria Pereira The Daily Wildcat

T

he first annual Tucson Jazz Festival is bringing big names and local beginners together in a 13-day downtown concert series.

After over a year of advertising, scheduling, booking, promoting and general festival preparation, the Tucson Jazz Festival opened the doors to their first concert last Friday at the Fox Tucson Theatre. Stretching from Jan. 16-28, the festival includes 16 concerts featuring jazz musicians of all different styles, eras and walks of life. From the high school students that make up the Tucson Jazz Institute Ellington Band; to the duo of Gabriel Espinosa, a Mexican bassist, and Hendrick Meurkens, a German harmonica player and vibraphonist; to the partnership between the UA Jazz Sextet, the Jeff Haskell Trio, and clarinetist Dave Bennett — there is something for everyone.

“This is a historic event that will go on for a long time,” said Henry Barajas, the community engagement director for the festival. “This is put together by people who appreciate jazz on every kind of level.”

The festival was born in January 2014 when Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild and local lawyer Elliot Glicksman approached Yvonne Ervin with a question: Did she think she would be able to put together a massive festival of jazz music for next January?

Ervin had been a big part of the Tucson jazz scene for years. As a true jazz lover, she ran the Tucson Jazz Society for nine years and volunteered for eight before that, awarded scholarships to up-and-coming jazz musicians as a part of the Tucson Jazz Music Foundation and is the current editor of popular jazz magazine Hot House.

“If we can raise $100,000 in six weeks, I’ll quit my job at the university, and we’ll do it,” Ervin told Rothschild and Glicksman.

They began going to people for sponsorships, and every organization they talked to said “yes,” showing how much community support was behind the creation of a jazz festival in Tucson. Ervin and her team were able to find sponsors to cover $200,000 of the festival, and, after switching to part-time at the UA, she became executive director of the festival.

Ervin and her team wanted to create a festival for everyone, and they definitely succeeded. With all of the different styles and experience levels represented, there is something for every jazz lover. On Monday, in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there were two free outdoor concerts at the MLK and Connect Stages downtown featuring 12 performances by local jazz artists that stretched from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

One of the stand-out performances of the first few days of the festival was

Members of the Dmitri Matheny jazz ensemble play a set titled “Jazz Noir” at Hotel Congress during the Tucson Jazz Festival on Sunday. The first of its kind in Tucson, the festival runs until Jan. 28 and features music from local and out-of-town jazz acts at different venues throughout the city.

Dmitri Matheny’s group. Matheny is a flugelhornist and former Tucson resident whose career began with a scholarship from the Tucson Jazz Music Foundation.

With the money, he attended college and honed his skills, and now he’s come back to return the favor.

Matheny led a six-person band in a concert on Sunday night at the Hotel Congress Copper Room. The venue was small, with only 140 seats total, but almost all were taken and the limited space gave the performance an intimate atmosphere.

The concert, titled “Jazz Noir,” was a collection of music influenced by or taken from classic film noir.

“It’s that feel of the cop on the beat, the hardboiled detective,” Matheny told the audience. “It’s a saxophone under a street lamp in the fog.”

The band was made up of Matt Rollings on piano, T-Bone Sistrunk on bass, John Lewis on drums, Andrew Gross and Charles McNeal on saxophone and Matheny on flugelhorn as the band leader.

They played various selections. Some

were classic staples of the jazz noir collection such as “Stormy Weather,” while others were original pieces, such as the title track on Matheny’s new album, “Sagebrush Rebellion.” Each piece was unique in style and flavor, and audience members could never guess what was coming next.

One of the most interesting pieces Matheny’s group performed was “Crime Scenes.” An original composition, “Crime Scenes” was a story told in pieces by music and narration working in sync. It was the story of the dark side of San Francisco, Calif., where criminals and police roam the streets, each trying to get rid of the other. The story progressed through the tempo changes and different melodies in the music, and in each segment, Matheny would poetically narrate the actions taking place in his tale. It was definitely unique, with mystery, suspense, thrills, danger and justice all packed into one new-age piece that felt classic.

Through “Crime Scenes” and the entire concert, Matheny’s group mixed

the old with the new, the somber with the suspenseful and the fun with the reflective.

With the outpouring of artistic talent, incredible community support and dedication from the people behind the scenes, the Tucson Jazz Festival has positioned itself to become a staple of January in Tucson for years to come.

play review

‘Women and Guns’ shoots blanks

BY Anna Mae Ludlum The Daily Wildcat

“W

omen and Guns,” an original production from The Tucson Alliance of Dramatic Artists playing at the Temple of Music and Art Cabaret Theatre, attempts to tell the unheard stories of American women deployed into combat.

Experiences of women in the military should be told but not through this play. Too few women and too few examples of military life mislead in the production’s title.

The play, selected from a national playwriting contest won

by Steve Gold, struggles to find a consistent voice and theme.

It is unclear whether it is a psychological analysis of gender and war or a love story with a pinch of post-traumatic stress disorder.

The scenery is minimalistic with a chain-link fence, ragged barbed wired and burlap sandbags. A single bench, a car parts and a couch are shuffled onto the stage, depending on the scene.

The show has many faults.

Elbows bent 45 to 90 degrees, palms up, awkward blocking and line recitation cast a pall over the production.

The excessive number of scenes featuring two inconsequential male characters, played by Nowell Kral and Eric Everts, reciting amateurish dialogue removes any opportunity to flesh out the lead actress’ character.

Actresses Denise Blum (left) and Bebe Fischer perform in the play “Women and Guns” by Steve Gold. The play addresses the various issues modern-day military women must face.

Military Police Officer Tiffany Hansen, who is set up on a blind date by her cousin before September 2001.

Tiffany’s background story involves an abusive, drugaddicted mother. Sadly, this does not make her character interesting, lead to any emotional investment or factor into later scenes.

Chemistry between Fischer and her character’s love interest, Bobby (Everts), is awkward. Each physical contact between the actors fails to convince anyone that an emotional connection

develops between them.

“The world would be a better place, don’t you think?” Tiffany says, her clunky justification preceding a random declaration for marriage equality.

Bobby concedes and apologizes for asking Tiffany if she was a lesbian. The playwright seems to think it’s offensive to ask your date if they have the similar sexual preferences.

On leave from Baghdad, Tiffany visits Bobby. Her dazed expression and inability to convey her war experiences sidestep the anticipated

illumination of a woman’s distinct perspective on the casualties of war.

It is a misstep to present Tiffany as the lead when it is her fellow Marine, played by Denise Blum, who pushes the limp story forward.

Valerie (Blum), a wife, mother and Explosive Ordinance Disposal Technician, is the real gem of the show.

Blum confessed during the post-show discussion to not having time to research the play’s subject matter, as she was cast 10 days prior to opening night. This

admission shows her ability to invest emotionally and physically in her character with ease. In the play, Blum’s simple yet natural gestures are consistent with her character’s brusque vulnerability. A stretch of the leg, a single touch of the tip of a gun and change of posture in civilian clothes indicate technique others in the production lacked. The minimal tension slumps into the climactic scene, used as a means to bypass any original insightful observations in favor of a predictable and quick ending.

“Women and Guns” is frequently interrupted by a silhouetted George W. Bush giving snippets of real speeches on the progression of the war.

Bush is voiced by director Mike Sultzbach without the usual exaggerated Texas accent, but the inclusion is still unnecessary.

The post-show discussions led by TADA!’s co-founder and producer, Sheldon Metz, offered veterans in the audience a chance to tell their stories and offer production advice.

A few Vietnam veterans relayed their connection between their untold stories and experiences of being cast aside to that of current military women returning home with little accolades, trapped in political debates on the merit of the war they fight. Women veterans and long-ignored Vietnam veterans deserve to have their stories told — just not like this.

“Women and Guns” will be at the Cabaret Theatre until Jan. 25.
