Charges not filed against officer

BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ

The Daily Wildcat

The Pima County Attorney’s Office announced it is not pressing criminal charges against the Tucson police officer who shoved three people during the unlawful assembly that occurred in March after the UA’s loss in the Elite Eight tournament.

Kellie Johnson, chief criminal deputy at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, disclosed in a letter to Jeff Brown, a detective for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, that after watching video footage of the unlawful assembly from

March 29, criminal charges will not be filed against Tucson Police Department’s Sgt. Joel Mann. The video footage was from cameras attached to TPD officers’ helmets that night.

According to Johnson’s letter, there is a process the state must go through to prove criminal assault.

Johnson said in the letter that there has to be an intent to cause harm to an individual.

Johnson said based on the video footage of that night, Mann did not show any criminal intent in his actions. According to Johnson, Mann’s use of force was to keep away from the unlawful assembly and protect the back part of the skirmish line.

“It does appear that Sergeant Mann’s use of force in these two situations was somewhat overzealous, and not necessary to accomplish the objective he intended,” Johnson writes in the letter.

One of the individuals Johnson refers to in her letter is UA alumna Christina Gardilcic, whose assault made national news after a video was published of Mann shoving her and knocking her over a bench.

Gardilcic has since filed a $375,000 lawsuit against the city of Tucson.

However, a member of the fraternity may be.

Ives said the dean of students is investigating violations of Student Code of Conduct policies numbers two and 15 at the unregistered event.

Policy number two is about “creating an environment where university community members could be in reasonable harm’s way,” Ives said.

Policy number 15 states that breaking university rules on the use of alcohol is also a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

Ives said someone reported the consumption of alcohol by underage individuals as well as a

UAMC staff members discussed their new protocols for if they should ever need to treat an Ebola patient at a meeting in the medical center on Wednesday.

Dr. Andy Theodorou, chief medical officer of the University of Arizona Medical Center, began the meeting by addressing the auditorium of medical staff about the seriousness of the situation and ensuring them that Ebola preparations are ready.

“This is a big deal,” Theodorou said. “We’re going to be prepared.

We’re going to keep you safe. We’re going to keep our patients safe.

We’re not going to get caught by surprise.”

Dr. Sean Elliott, medical director of infection prevention for the University of Arizona Health Network, discussed the extensive plan UAMC has developed.

According to Elliott, the plan includes the screening process for Ebola, the methods for preventing staff from contracting Ebola from an infected patient and how to treat a patient who is confirmed to be infected.

Elliott said the screening process includes looking at a patient’s travel history “in the last 21 days” to see if it includes West African countries, as well as checking if the patient exhibits any early symptoms of Ebola.

According to Elliott, a patient would be placed in immediate isolation if they came back positive for both of those checks.

Tim Reynolds, a UAHN staff member, demonstrated the nearly impermeable protective suit called Personal Protective Equipment that anyone dealing with a patient in isolation would wear.

The PPE includes an N95 mask to protect staff from fluids splashing into their face, multiple layers of protective gloves, a white plastic suit with a hood, a Stryker toga gown

The violations of the student policy are thought to have occurred as a result of an unregistered event that was held at the fraternity house on Sept. 27, said Johanne Ives, assistant dean of students for Fraternity & Sorority Programs.

The ASUA Diversity program received funding for a conference in Oregon and a textbook exchange platform was discussed at the weekly ASUA Senate meeting Wednesday afternoon.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona diversity director Jose Guadalupe Conchas presented a budget of $2,666 to send seven people to the diversity conference in Oregon in November.

Despite the proposal of a new budget for fewer people, ASUA Sen. Michael Finnegan asked that the proposal be amended so the new revised budget was $1,500.

ASUA Sen. William Box asked why such a severe cut was needed and Finnegan said while he appreciated funding for diversity, he also felt the money needed to be kept aside for the future.

ASUA Sen. Brooke Serack

responded and suggested they cut $280 from the budget for food. Box agreed with Serack, saying the cut to $1,500 was a bit extreme and that it was more sensible to cut the $280 for food.

Conchas told the senate the money would have to come from their line item. Conchas also informed the senate that currently when the cultural centers need money for a project, they go to the diversity office rather than to the senate.

He emphasized that by allotting the extra $700 in the budget rather than making the diversity office pay, it would be an investment for the senate.

Conchas also said the cultural centers would be able to continue to come to the diversity office to ask for assistance for projects rather than coming to senate meetings and asking for more than they need.

The senate asked Conchas if it was possible for the financial burden to be shouldered somewhat more on those

The other two individuals, who were not identified in Johnson’s letter, were also shoved by Mann. Johnson describes in the letter that based on the video footage, the two individuals were on University Boulevard when Mann asked them to leave the area.

They didn’t leave, and the video footage showed Mann shoving the woman and then later shoving the man.

Johnson said in the letter that the evidence she looked through, including interviews with Mann and video footage, indicated Mann did not show criminal intent and the state could not “prove any criminal charge beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Sgt. Chris Widmer, the TPD public information officer, said the criminal investigation was handed to the Pima County Attorney’s Office, but that TPD was still conducting an internal investigation. Widmer said TPD could not release any details until its internal investigation was complete.

In July, the TPD Board of Inquiry found police action during the postElite Eight melee justified, but said Mann’s actions were inappropriate.

Elliott said there are not many people living in Southwest Arizona who originate from West Africa. He also said travelers would not be traveling to Tucson, because Tucson is generally a final destination and not a place where there is a lot of thru travel.

health and safety concern that occurred from the consumption of alcohol.

The fraternity received a notification letter on Oct. 6 regarding the investigation and an interim suspension of all activities that include alcohol was put in place, Ives said.

Ives added that the fraternity is not on full interim suspension, which would mean a total loss of recognition as a university fraternity.

The fraternity is only suspended from anything having to do with alcohol, she said.

Leland Manders, executive director for the Sigma Alpha Mu national headquarters, did not give any comment about the possible sexual assault allegation but did comment on the alcohol violation.

“The fraternity’s response for the alcohol allegation is that the chapter is currently suspended from any social activities until the entire investigation is completed,” Manders said.

According to the Fraternity & Sorority Programs website, there are currently eight other chapters that are under current judicial investigations.

The chapters include: the Alpha Sigma Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Theta Chi and Zeta Beta Tau fraternities and the Sigma Kappa sorority .

These chapters, like Sigma Alpha Mu, are under suspension from activities including alcohol.

According to Ives, the investigation can take three to four weeks, during which the organization has the opportunity to reply to the allegation.

Ives said while Sigma Alpha Mu has not been found guilty of violating any policy thus far, if it was, consequences could range anywhere from loss of university recognition to a warning from the Dean of Students Office and Fraternity & Sorority Programs.

Opinions Anal sex: More than just the butt of a joke

BY Paul Thomson The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s time to talk about butt sex.

Last week, an episode of “The Mindy Project,” sheepishly titled “I Slipped,” depicted a heterosexual couple attempting, failing, arguing about and allaround exploring the idea of introducing anal sex into their bedroom. At one point, the protagonist, Mindy Lahari, calls it “fifth base.” Though the fate of the couple’s uncharted territories is never shown, the couple does come to an important conclusion: Anything is OK in the bedroom as long as it is discussed, agreed upon and consensual.

But this episode, paired with recent articles on Gawker, The Guardian, and Nicki Minaj’s “he toss my salad like his name is Romaine” line from “Anaconda,” got me thinking: Could heterosexual acceptance — nay, embracement — of anal sex be a key to erasing long-standing prejudice against homosexual sex, specifically that of gay men?

It is a widely accepted opinion that, on the whole, heterosexuals are uncomfortable with the idea of anal sex.

Whether this discomfort comes from a Freudian conflict during psychosexual development or a Judeo-Christian condemnation like in Sodom and Gommorah, the truth is that it still persists.

It was only in 2003 — 11 years ago — that the Supreme Court struck down sodomy laws across the nation with Lawrence v. Texas. That’s right. Not only was anal uncomfortable for people to think, talk or act on, but it was also actually illegal in 14 states just over 10 years ago.

“I think the most interesting and important thing to note about anal sex is that while not everybody has a vagina, and not everybody has a penis, everybody has an anus,” said Susan Stryker, an associate professor of Gender and Women’s Studies, about how a depiction of heterosexual anal sex on a popular television show relates to gay equality.

“Consequently, the practice of anal sex helps breaks down the hetero-homo and male-female binaries; it’s not gay sex or straight sex, masculine sex or feminine sex; it’s just anal sex.”

Because anal sex does not fit into the normative binaries patriarchal society is built on, it challenges traditional views on intimacy and, in doing so, subverts what the dominant straight culture considers “normal” — a subversion that could translate into other parts of society. “[Anal sex] confronts us with the fact that our bodies have capacities for pleasure that socialization steers us away from,” Stryker said. “It can be threatening to and disruptive of the very categories through which we produce sex [and] gender inequality.”

Unfortunately, there may be a dark side to this heterosexual endorsement of anal sex. Certainly, “The Mindy Project” is anything but reverent about the topic. The characters range from calling it “freaky” and “slutty” to making comments about it being against God. And this can be problematic.

Adam Geary, associate professor of Gender and Women’s Studies, said “humorous” portrayals of anal sex are just another way of making gay sex — and gay people — the butt of the joke. While the mere fact that anal sex is being discussed in the public forum is transformative, Geary said if this discussion merely continues stereotypes and normative standards, it is not at all revolutionary.

“While I do think that the history of humor contains a history of social criticism, homosexuality as a joke is as old as the public representation of homosexuality,” Geary said. “Humor and the representation of homosexuality go back a long way, and this humor has rarely been a force for liberation and equality.”

Geary added that “there is a difference between anal sex and gay sex.” And, although this is certainly true, anal sex may just prove to be a common ground for gays and straights alike to gain footing as equals. Although in discourse it may appear to be a strictly male practice, anal sex — inclusive of non-penetrative forms like analingus — has the potential to expand acceptance to people of all genders and orientations.

With the proliferation of legalized same-sex marriage across the country, it is important that gay men are celebrated not for their ability to assimilate, but for their own personal choices, sexual or not. However, if all people, whatever their orientation, can come together in agreement over something that was once so taboo, something that clearly both heterosexuals and homosexuals are now open about practicing, then maybe the trek to equality isn’t so long after all.

endorsements

No elephants in the room The Daily Wildcat editorial board offers its endorsements for candidates holding statewide positions Fred DuVal

Felecia Rotellini

Governor

Attorney General

Fred DuVal is a Tucson native with a heck of a résumé: He’s the former Arizona Board of Regents president, he served as an advisor to former Gov. Bruce Babbitt and he was the deputy chief of protocol for President Bill Clinton’s administration.

DuVal’s platform is equally impressive, with a focus on confronting issues crucial for Arizonans: fighting border crime, fixing the immigration system, restoring Child Protective Services and supporting veterans.

But what endears DuVal most to us is his support for education.

DuVal is the only candidate who supports increased funding for higher education and has expressed a desire to restore that funding to the levels we saw before officials took a scalpel (or a machete) to state universities during the Great Recession — an increase of 50 percent per student, if he succeeds. With these changes, many of the tuition hikes that were implemented to compensate for the cuts will no longer be necessary, and we could see tuition and fees decrease.

DuVal has also made a pledge to stop budget cuts to K-12 education, stating that “not another dime, not another nickel, not another penny,” will be taken out of education.

DuVal has emphasized in many debates that improving education correlates with improving the economy. He also has said his economic plan would be to help students to prepare for the workforce through coalitions with universities and other businesses.

Since DuVal has served on the board of regents for many years, he has the upper hand in higher-education knowledge and experience; we trust his judgment.

Doug Ducey’s solution to education, on the other hand, is to tighten colleges’ budgets, maintain current cuts and force schools to spend their money carefully.

One of Ducey’s big points earlier

In the race for attorney general, we’re thankful not to have Tom Horne on the ballot. His scandal-plagued administration of the attorney general’s office will undoubtedly hang over the head of whoever is elected to the post of Arizona’s top lawyer.

Yet, Republican Mark Brnovich and Democrat Felecia Rotellini could both bring years of experience in prosecution to the position, and both have promising, if similar, platforms championing protection of the weak and defenseless.

Brnovich has served as an assistant U.S. attorney and director of the Arizona Department of Gaming, after long stretches specializing in gang and repeat offenders.

Rotellini was a prosecutor for the attorney general’s office and supervised financial services at the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions, going up against loan and corporate fraud.

It’s difficult to compare the candidates on their levels of experience, stacking one legal agency against the other, but it’s fair to note that Brnovich’s frequent claim that Rotellini doesn’t have criminal trial experience is only half true; she has prosecuted criminal cases, but has not argued one in front of a jury.

On the other side of the political attacking, though, we agree with what Rotellini has repeated in debate after debate: We need to get politics out of the attorney general’s office, and Brnovich has too many.

In a fundraising email sent to constituents, Brnovich announced his endorsement by the Arizona Right to Life PAC, and drove home, time and time again, his intention to “respect the sanctity of life

COurtesy of Fred DuVal

Fred DuVal

in his campaign was his desire to, eventually, completely eliminate income tax, which accounts for 40 percent of our state’s general fund — 40 percent less money that could be used toward education or any other state services.

Polarized views aside, DuVal has also managed to find support within the Republican Party.

When the Republican Governors Association ran an ad blaming DuVal for the college tuition increases that occurred when he was on the board of regents, fellow board member Republican Anne Mariucci responded. Mariucci said that when the legislature cut education funds, DuVal fought to increase financial aid, to develop coalitions between four-year universities and community colleges and to open more college campuses in rural Arizona.

“Fred was always the loudest voice in the room to protect students from unnecessary tuition hikes,” Mariucci said.

Clearly, DuVal’s passion for our education extends beyond party lines.

We could go on about how DuVal, as opposed to Ducey, supports the legalization of marijuana, women’s right to choose, the DREAM act and raising the minimum wage and is the only candidate who even believes that climate change is man-made, but we’ll just stick to the most relevant of all these very relevant issues: As college students, DuVal will work in our interests. Ducey won’t.

at every stage,” a sentiment that’s supported on his website, which states that Brnovich will “protect and defend our laws that concern the unborn.”

On the same site, Brnovich states his intention to oppose federal dictates, like those from the Affordable Care Act or the Environmental Protection Agency, which “tramples the Constitution.”

Brnovich will not “miss opportunities to push back against the overreach of the Obama administration,” he wants us to know.

To us, that sounds like an agenda, no matter how many times Brnovich insists he’s not a politician.

This is not to say that Rotellini doesn’t have her own politics, but at least they are clearly realized and defined with laid-out plans to create a domestic violence ombudsman, a business roundtable, a veteran’s military advisory council and a sex trafficking and crimes against children unit within the attorney general’s office.

Rotellini wants to contribute to the office, not to use her time there mainly as a platform for haranguing the federal government, and we’re curious to see the changes she can implement.

David Garcia

Terry Goodard Secretary of the State

State Superintendent

Terry Goddard has a familiar name and a face that we can dig, but he’s also proven he has the managerial chops and Arizonaspecific experience to make him the best secretary of state. His secondary platform of making voting easier with more available polling places and permanent early voting especially are good news for college students on tight schedules or without steady transport.

A four-time mayor of Phoenix and a two term Arizona attorney general, Goddard spent his tenure in the state government system fighting border crime, statewide consumer fraud and foreclosures and ensuring water rights — the types of issues that are crucial for Arizonans specifically and the types of fights that won him the highest possible recognition from his fellow attorney generals.

As mayor, too, Goddard was recognized for his effective, efficient and citizen-engaging organizational style. Goddard has proven he can competently manage the administrative tasks and election overseeing required of a secretary of state.

Goddard’s also proven that — should the unexpected happen — he could fulfill the line of succession and make a fine governor as well. Some of Goddard’s most memorable moves as attorney general were taking a strong early, public stand against the passage of SB 1070 and refusing to file a lawsuit against the federal government over the ACA. Rather than having been primarily motivated by ideology, Goddard cited efficient management of time and funds as his validation;

It’s a well-known turn of phrase: Those who can’t do, teach. Democratic candidate David Garcia, it seems, can do both.

The list of education-related positions showing that Garcia can “do” is impressive in both length and breadth: Arizona state associate superintendent of Public Instruction, director of research and policy for the Arizona Department of Education, research analyst for the state Senate Education Committee and consultant for the U.S. Department of Education. But it’s in filling another role — as an associate professor of education leadership at Arizona State University — that Garcia truly shows us his deep, personal stake in, and knowledge of, Arizona’s educational system.

He’s a teacher who teaches other teachers, an educator who knows the system from the outside and the inside.

And Garcia’s been a student here in Arizona, where he grew up poor and troubled but went on to become the first in his family to go to college.

His personal experience and triumph with our also-troubled school system endows him with more authority than any résumélike list could.

Garcia supports Common Core, or at least a form of it, which has earned him some flack from Republican opponents like Diane Douglas, who seems to be running solely on the platform of “repeal.” But it’s also worth pointing out that Garcia has been endorsed by two past Republican

lots of dollars and a few years later, Goddard’s words take on more wisdom.

In his campaign for secretary of state, Goddard is primarily running on a platform against corrupting influence in politics —”dark money” and lobbyists, which we could all use less of. Goddard has also put his money — or maybe the lack thereof — where his mouth is by running a “clean election” in which he has not accepted money from corporations or special interest groups.

Goddard’s opponent Michele Reagan has a very similar platform, but with several big discrepancies in her political past. Reagan, as Goddard has recently pointed out in debates, voted for SB 1062, last winter’s controversial discrimination-enabling bill, which Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed. Reagan has argued that one vote shouldn’t mar her entire record, but we question whether a candidate who supports discrimination in businesses should be trusted with the responsibility to prevent voter fraud and suppression and all manner of other inequity in Arizona. Goddard, as we’ve seen time and time again, certainly can.

superintendents; he’s used to compromise.

Besides, as Garcia would probably be the first to say, Common Core isn’t the most important issue on his platform. His “Measure What Matters” platform focuses on making Arizona’s student internationally competitive — not just competent according to the state — with initiatives, such as offering more advanced placement classes, teaching computer coding skills and fostering and nurturing not just bilingual but multilingual students as well. Garcia is also sensitive to the needs of those students who would not choose college, emphasizing certifications for technical schools and the pursuit of artistic endeavours just as much as universities.

It’s been 40 years since Arizona elected a Latino to a state office. Now, with our school-aged population consisting mostly of minorities, there’s never been a better time, or a more qualified choice, for state superintendent.

Police Beat IT’S A BY adriana espinosa The Daily Wildcat

Keystone fight

A UA student was arrested near the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house for a minor in possession in body on Friday.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling a date dash at the sorority house when a group of students was dropped off by a bus in front of the sorority house.

One of the students appeared to be upset at someone and was yelling and being held back by a group of men.

The officer made contact with the group and told them to keep moving. As they walked away, he saw the angered student approach another group of individuals and push one of them.

Both groups began pushing and shoving each other, but no punches there thrown, according to the officer.

The student who was originally upset was approached by the officer and asked if he knew why he was pulled aside.

The student told the officer he had been minding his own business when he got pushed by a random guy. The officer told him that was not what he saw.

The student had watery, bloodshot eyes and smelled of intoxicants. He told the officer he had consumed several Keystone Light beers during the night.

The student’s aggressive behavior continued to escalate and he was transported to Pima County Jail.

A UAPD officer was covering the Alpha Delta Pi sorority’s date dash when a member of the security for the event flagged down the officer.

The security officer was accompanied by a UA student who, according to the security officer, had been urinating on the east wall of the sorority house.

According to the UAPD officer, the student had bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and smelled of intoxicants. He told the officer he had urinated on the wall because “he really had to go.”

The student told the officer he had only consumed two beers a random homeless person had given him at the Circle K gas station on Speedway Boulevard and Park Avenue.

The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office and released to his sober girlfriend.

A Campus Health Service employee reported that a UA student was assaulted while tailgating at the UA football games against the University of Southern California on Oct. 11.

UAPD received a telephone call in reference to a report of assault.

The employee reported that a student had come to see her at the Campus Health and told her he had been assaulted.

The student said he was tailgating when he got punched in the right eye while trying to break up a fight. The student said he did not know who hit him, but he said he believed it may have been a USC fan because the person was wearing a USC shirt.

Although the student was not severely injured, the employee told the student a report was made to UAPD and that UAPD would contact him in reference to the incident.

UAPD eventually contacted the student, but he did not wish to proceed with the judicial process.

Biology underlying Adderall usage

BY DARA FARHADI The Daily Wildcat

It’s no surprise some students use Adderall to study for an exam. Let’s turn the tables and study Adderall’s biological effects on us.

According to a survey conducted

by Campus Health Service last year, about 13 percent of UA students admitted to using attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medication like Adderall and Ritalin without a prescription in the year prior the study, while close to 7 percent used it in the month prior to the study.

Dylan, an accounting junior whose name has been changed to protect his identity, is among the 13 percent without a prescription.

He insists his education hinges on Adderall.

“I feel more awake and zoned into what I’m doing,” Dylan said.

“Whether it be homework or tests, I can focus a lot more on one thing and prioritize a lot more.”

Each time Dylan ingests Adderall, it’s absorbed into his bloodstream and eventually makes its way to the brain, explained Dr. Kathy Smith, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry and director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Once there, the drug prevents Dylan’s neurotransmitters — chemicals made by the body that initiate brain-cell communication — from retreating back into the cell.

“Because there are more neurotransmitters available, those neurons are more [effective],” Smith said.

The anterior cingulate cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex and primary

motor cortex are locations of the brain that involve selective attention, sustaining attention and problem solving, impulsivity and hyperactivity, respectively, Smith said. Larger concentrations of neurotransmitters in these locations construct Dylan’s ability to enhance his attention.

“Chemically, Adderall is a mixture of amphetamines,” said David Nix, a professor in the department of pharmacy practice and science.

“There is risk of using the drugs to prolong awake time and focus, and then end up ‘crashing’ during the exam.”

Dr. Noshene Ranjbar, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry, counsels a number of patients who speak to her about their Adderall dependence.

“Because there are addictive qualities to Adderall, people can develop dependence and need more and more,” Ranjbar said. “I try to find the real reason behind their use of Adderall.”

Like Dylan, Alexis Dallas Maytorena, an undeclared junior, requires Adderall to perform well in school. Unlike Dylan, she has a prescription and has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder.

“When I’m on Adderall, it feels normal, and I feel fine,” Maytorena said. “When I don’t take it, I think: Oh my gosh, why can’t I just sit here and listen to the lecture?”

Like most stimulants, the common side effects when taking ADD and ADHD medication are insomnia and appetite suppression, Smith said.

DARAH FARHADI/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ADDERALL IS A DRUG that changes the concentration of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals found in brain cells that are used for communication, in specific regions of the brain. Approximately 13 percent of UA students used attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medications without a prescription in the year prior to a study released last year by Campus Health Service.

Admittedly, Dylan does have a few complaints that reflect the common side effects.

“If I take it too late at night, I can’t sleep,” Dylan said. “It kills your appetite and wake up the next morning feeling groggy.”

These effects may seem minor compared to his complaints that others misuse Adderall to stay up before they go out to drink or just to feel the buzz it provides.

With patients that misuse

Genetically modified organisms safe to eat, scientists say

Adderall, Ranjbar said she tries to educate them about brain and heart functions and shares the experiences of others that have had uncommon side effects like seizures, strokes, hallucinations or heart attacks.

One student-run club understands these possible dangers.

The Student Health Advocacy Committee wants to create a permanent drop box on campus for old or expired medications students

may have, according to Stephanie Kha, the director of SHAC and liaison for Campus Health.

“We are trying to educate students that [Adderall] actually can be very dangerous to your health,” Kha said. “And it’s our hope that we can help reduce the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs.”

UA scientists use data as an art form

BY JOHN MCMULLEN The Daily Wildcat

Transgenic or genetically modified crops have long been a fear for some consumers. However, studies show GM crops are actually highly regulated and can replace or reduce the use of dangerous chemicals in agriculture.

In last month’s Journal of Animal Science, Alison Van Eenennaam and Amy Young from the department of animal sciences at the University of California, Davis, showed that there were no impacts of GM foods on agricultural production animals since their inception in the field in 1996.

Yves Carrière, a professor in the department of entomology, said there are no known negative impacts of transgenic crops on human consumption. The issues surrounding GM crops are social and political, not scientific, Carrière said.

A more important issue for GM crops, especially those that contain insecticides, is to ensure that insect pests do not become resistant and cause more damage.

“There are two main types of genetically modified crops, which REBECCA MARIE SASNETT/THE DAILY WILDCAT are Bt and Roundup Ready,” said KARA WELCH, a molecular and cellular biology instruction specialist, shows how caterpilKara Welch, a molecular and cellular lars are fed in little cups in an incubation chamber located in the Marley building on Tuesday. biology instruction specialist and For her study, she puts caterpillars in food with different toxins to see how the caterpillars will former entomology and insect survive on them. science graduate student. “Bt crops “We are working with [a] pest organic producers did not want produce their own pesticide, while that does not meet any of the resistance to build up,” Frisvold Roundup Ready crops are resistant assumption requirements [for Bt crop said. “They did not want to ruin the to herbicides. … Bt, or Bacillus management],” Carrière said. “Our efficacy of their sprays for organic thuringiensis, is a soil bacterium that goal is to show that there are aspects production.

WENDELL WERNER, left, and Jerri Werner, right, look at different pieces of art at the Art of Planetary Science exhibit on Saturday. Images with subjects ranging from the surface of Mars to a slice of a meteorite were on display at the exhibit.

BY AMY NIPPERT

The Daily Wildcat

For many people, data and art seem essentially disparate.

However, they have more in common than one might think, as exemplified by the Art of Planetary Science exhibit.

Jamie Molaro, a fifth-year graduate student in planetary sciences, organized the event. She said she saw the event as a way to encourage scientists to create art out of their data. She added that scientists see their data in a unique way and, through the exhibit, can present this data in a beautiful way and reach out to the community.

The images range from science to science fiction in a variety of media. Many of the pieces of art were not “art” in the traditional sense, but instead were images taken by the powerful HiRISE camera of the surface of Mars.

These images are important scientifically as they help researchers learn more about the geology of the planet and even decide where to land rovers, but they also have aesthetic value.

“When you look at these images, it’s stunning,” said Ari Espinoza, the media contact for HiRISE. “It’s incredible because you are looking at the surface of another world with its canyons, dust avalanches, dust devils, bedrock, the list goes on.

So, it’s two for one, really: gorgeous vistas of an alien world and things we can find analogues to here on Earth.”

Other scientists used data to create their images. Dolores Hill, a senior research specialist in lunar and planetary sciences, submitted several images from her data on meteorites. She studies chondrites, which are the oldest rocks in the solar system.

One of her submissions shows

chondrites in an X-ray image of a slice of a meteorite. Another shows slices of the moon tree at the UA, which was planted from seeds that had been to the moon and back. A third image gives the composition of a slice from a meteorite shower in Russia in 2013. Each image is art, story and data.

These images, along with many others, provide a connection to the science for the general public.

An explanation is paired with each image, briefly describing the science behind it so that the art also serves as a type of outreach.

“Scientists are, of course, looking at these images with a different approach, but I think there’s a great deal of overlap because these pictures can inspire someone to learn more,” Espinoza said.

The planetary science department does outreach, but much of it is aimed at children. The exhibit provides a way to reach out to a larger community of adults as well, Molaro said.

The artists also often learn more about planetary science, especially those in the International Association of Astronomical Artists, which emphasizes the connections between their art and science, Molaro said.

“The artists love meeting the scientists and the scientists are interested in how the public views their work,” Molaro said.

The images may also inspire people to pursue astronomy or planetary science.

“Lots of scientists often recall memories of seeing an astronomy book or looking through a telescope as their first inspiration, and we think that’s true of our images,” Espinoza said.

Q&A Cross-country Senior Glanz bids farewell

faces Ariz. rivals

BY Brian Peel

The Daily Wildcat

Coming off a disappointing 6-0 thrashing at the hands of No. 1 UCLA last weekend, Arizona soccer will try and rebound this weekend when it hosts its final two home games of the season against No. 4 Stanford and Cal on Friday and Sunday.

Playing at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium for the last time in her Wildcat career this weekend, senior midfielder Julia Glanz gave the Daily Wildcat a few moments to discuss her career at Arizona, her South African heritage, Halloween and the U.S.’s health risks.

Daily Wildcat: This is your final year as a Wildcat; how would you say it has gone so far?

Glanz: It’s been the best one yet. We’ve had our best season since I’ve been here, and honestly, since I was a freshman, it’s just gotten better each year, so it’s been a good way to end so far. tylEr baker/The Daily Wildcat

Being a senior, would you say your role has changed at all this year?

Absolutely. As a senior, you just know the ins and outs of everything, so people look [to] you for questions, so you just have to guide the youngins in the right direction.

Arizona women’s cross-country and ASU women’s cross-country begin a race during the Dave Murray Invitational last season in Tucson. The Wildcats close out the regular season on Thursday before the Pac-12 Conference Championships start next week.

Last year, the team made huge strides in UA head coach Tony Amato’s first season. How would you say this season has been different?

I think we are just building on last year. We’ve accomplished a lot of things we haven’t done in a long time in this program, and we just want to keep moving forward from that.

The Arizona men’s and women’s cross-country teams will try to gain momentum heading into the postseason when they compete at the Arizona State Invitational on Thursday.

While the meet serves more as a practice run than a competition, UA cross-country head coach James Li believes the Wildcats can gain valuable experience as they look toward the Pac-12 Conference Championships next week.

“They just need to believe in themselves,” Li said. “We are really a good group of runners. Hopefully this week, they are going to start showing that.”

Facing elite competition in Wisconsin last week, both the men and women finished towards the bottom of the pack and neither side had a top-50 place finisher.

Going into Thursday, neither team is ranked nationally, although the men are No. 12 in the West regional poll.

“We’re unsure of how good we are right now and of how competitive we can be,” Li said.

Li believes collectively, both the men and women can still accomplish their goal of competing well at nationals, but they need to take the next jump immediately.

“We really need to start moving things in a rapid way,” Li said. “There needs to be greater urgency.”

On Thursday, Arizona goes up

You’re from the Los Angeles area. How was it going home last weekend?

It was nice. I got to see my family and that is always great.

Your parents are from South Africa; what’s their story?

They’ve been here about 30 years now. They came over when apartheid was going on and they’ve been here ever since.

Have you ever been to South Africa?

I actually went last December for the first time since I was 5, and I loved it.

Arizona senior midfielder Julia Glanz (19) drives the ball up field during a scrimmage at Arizona soccer’s practice on Tuesday at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium. Glanz and the rest of the seniors on the team close out their Arizona home careers on Sunday against California.

Do you feel like South Africa is a big part of your life, and do you plan on going back there often?

I want to make an effort to go back there every year.

It’s a little pricey, but it’s so worth it once you are there. It’s so beautiful.

Growing up, what was your favorite Halloween costume? … Probably a cow. I wore a full-body cow costume with like a milk mustache when I was in middle school.

Marker and the rest of the returnees are doing their best to show them the ropes.

“It’s never easy losing so many seniors, especially because they were our leaders, but we are

adapting well,” Marker said. “Our three new girls, Devin, Hanna and Briar, fit in perfectly and they are great additions to the team.”

For many underclassmen, stepping into the role of a leader as a sophomore on a Division I team can be quite intimidating, but not for Marker. She has embraced her leadership role.

“I was so used to looking up to our

four seniors last year as our leaders and my role models, so taking on a different role this year has been an exciting transition for me,” Marker said. “I hope that I can help my new teammates in any way possible like they did for me last year.”

against in-state opponents ASU and NAU. The Sun Devils are ranked No. 22 on the women’s side, while the Lumberjacks men are No. 10.

Li said ASU and NAU will likely not be at full strength since the meet doesn’t hold much sway in national rankings. However, Arizona will be taking down “more people than we planned,” Li said, in order to earn more experience.

On the men’s side, the Wildcats will race nearly all underclassmen, including sophomore Matthew Beer, who has been one of the team’s strongest runners this season.

Also competing in the 4-mile race are freshmen Michael Godbout, Rodolfo Gomes, Patrick Leary and Bailey Roth, sophomore Brendan Tinoco, junior Dylan Hopper and seniors Jonas Legernes and Braden Timpe.For the women, freshmen Chrissy Calain, Kayla Ferron and Claire Green, junior Daylee Burr and seniors Kate Penney and Hanna Peterson will all run in the 3-mile race.

In competitive races, such as the upcoming Pac-12 Championships, only the top-five finishers’ scores get tallied in the team points.

The Wildcats nonetheless need to establish depth for the rest of this season and beyond; the meet Thursday is the last opportunity for many of the younger athletes to run in a competitive setting this season.

No. 15 Arizona volleyball (16-5, 5-4 Pac-12 Conference) couldn’t figure out how to stop the No. 13 Oregon Ducks (16-3, 6-3 Pac-12) as it was swept 3-0 in straight sets in Eugene, Ore., at the Matthew Knight Arena.

Behind a strong offense attack, Oregon cruised to an easy defeat over the Wildcats, winning 25-17, 2512 and 25-19.

Both teams were tied at third place in the Pac-12 rankings going into the match, but it was hardly an even competition.

The Wildcats had just 31 kills, along with 22 attack errors. Overall, Arizona struggled to find any momentum at all, leaving UA volleyball head coach Dave Rubio just shaking his head in disbelief.

Leading the Wildcats were senior outside hitters Madi Kingdon and Taylor Arizobal, who had 13 and nine kills, respectively. Kingdon alone had 11 errors, a rarity for the senior, who did not appear to get in any rhythm whatsoever. On the other hand, sophomore setter Penina Snuka led the team with 14 digs. Although Kingdon has carried the Arizona team throughout the season, she was not effective against the Ducks. The UA had a .049 hitting percentage, which was uncharacteristically low for the Wildcats.

It was the third time in four games

that Arizona has taken on a top-11 team, and that stretch has included one win and two losses.

For Oregon, senior outside hitter Liz Brenner and junior outside hitter Martenne Bettendorf each had 11 kills as the Ducks combined for 42 kills as a team. Additionally, Oregon’s hitting percentage trumped the Wildcats, as sophomore middle blocker Kacey Nady led all players with a .400 hitting percentage. In the end, the Ducks played better in

almost every aspect of the match.

Throughout most of the match, Arizona looked completely lost on defense, which may have contributed to the stretch of four games in seven days, one of the longest trips in the Pac-12.

Oregon has won five of the last six meetings between the teams and is ranked third in the Pac-12 in kills, averaging 14.44 per set.

This season, the Wildcats normally hold opponents to a .184 hitting

mark, but the Ducks made sure that didn’t happen as they posted a .295 hitting percentage mark.

Next up for the Wildcats is Oregon State at the Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Ore., on Friday. The match will be aired on the Pac-12 Networks at 8 p.m.

here is no debating that this freshman class Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller brought in is stellar. Headlined

by Stanley Johnson, the 2014 class has a little bit of everything: a speedy point guard in Parker JacksonCartwright, a skilled two guard in Kadeem Allen, a dominant wing in Johnson, a physical power forward in Craig Victor and a crafty European center in Dusan Ristic.

Johnson figures to start, JacksonCartwright should be the backup point guard and Allen is probably just a bench warmer. Where things get interesting is with Victor and Ristic.

Both are talented enough to receive considerable backup frontcourt minutes, but Miller has traditionally kept his rotations tight, placing a priority on defense and athleticism.

Last year, he often went just seven or eight players deep and didn’t rotate his big men very often. This year, he’ll likely expand that rotation by a player or two based on the sheer depth of the roster. With both Victor and Ristic willing and able to play, Miller has a choice: Play Victor or Ristic.

Victor has more athleticism and is a more traditional Sean Miller-type player, whereas Ristic is a bit softer and needs to learn the intricacies of an elite collegiate defense.

The 6-foot-9, 230-pound power forward not only can bang down low, he is skilled enough to score in the post if need be. Not to mention he can hit an 18-foot shot with consistency.

The biggest difference between the two freshmen is defense. While not elite, Victor is a solid defender now and is only going to improve with playing time. He can take, and dole out, punishment in a major way.

At the annual McDonald’s RedBlue Game this past weekend, Victor was mainly matched up against Brandon Ashley and showcased his inside-out game by scoring 12 points in a variety of ways. In more ways than one, he’s an Ashley-lite.

Miller will have no problem playing Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski the bulk of frontcourt minutes, but when those two need a break, Victor is his guy.

fter his 14-point performance at the annual McDonald’s RedBlue Game, the 7-foot Serbian freshman phenomenon Dusan Ristic proved he deserves consistent playing time this season, even with Arizona men’s basketball’s stacked team.

Returning are starting point guard T.J. McConnell, starting power forward Brandon Ashley, starting center Kaleb Tarczewski and dynamic sixth-man Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who will most likely start this year.

Complimenting those players is a highly touted freshman class.

With Arizona’s emphasis on big men who can shoot, Ristic shot 7-8 from the field in the Red-Blue Game, proving he is not only consistent, but a post-move presence.

Throughout the exhibition game, Ristic shot over Tarczewski multiple times and was not afraid to go up against him. He showed a bevy of post moves including drop steps, hooks over both shoulders and an up-andunder move.

With the supposed starting lineup pretty much set, the Wildcats are looking for experienced big men to replace Tarczewski and Ashley when they go to the bench.

Ristic is the answer.

He has professional experience from playing in Europe, even if he chose not to sign a professional contract with a club. None of the other Wildcats can boast that experience.

Of course, there are other options.

Arizona could replace Tarczewski with freshman forward Craig Victor or senior forward Matt Korcheck. Both those players are talented enough to come off the bench. Ristic brings skill and fluidity, while Victor brings explosiveness and strength.

Ristic was ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 15 center in the 2014 recruiting class by ESPN. One would assume that playing in a new atmosphere and country would get to an athlete, but not for Ristic.

He seems to have fit right in to the team, not letting the language or the intimidation factor of playing for the No. 2 team in the country get to him.

Overall, if the Wildcats are looking to be successful, Ristic needs to be a factor in this offense. He can shoot from the outside, has some wicked post moves and is smart on the court.
