NEWS | A NOISY LIBRARY

Mixed feelings surround library construction

BY TOMMIE LORENE @tommielorene

The chain link fencing, noise and constant activity of construction workers in hardhats at the University of Arizona Main Library and Science-Engineering Library have become familiar sights to most students on campus.

Besides navigating temporary walkways and finding the restrooms, the noise from the construction seems to bother some students more than others.

The library website states, “You’ll hear construction noise during the week, but you can borrow noise-reducing headphones and get free earplugs at our Ask Us desk.”

Some students don’t seem to mind the noise and construction. Jacob Shepard, an agriculture and life sciences student, said he does not feel that the construction is distracting and uses the library to study. “[The] noise issues are pretty much the same, definitely not distracting,” Shepard said.

Others say they are staying away from the library until construction is complete. Jillian Ferre, a freshman prenursing student, said she doesn’t come to the library unless she is going to a club meeting. Otherwise, she finds the construction noise too much to deal with.

“That’s why I don’t study here, because I’m pretty sensitive to noise,” Ferre said.

Peter Schwarz, a library information associate who works at the Ask Us desk in the Main Library, said the noise and

construction doesn’t bother him. He said that it has been great working with the construction company, Sundt. He explained that they have moved most of the noisy construction work to less busy hours.

“Generally, the only complaints are where are the bathrooms now, since we have had to take some of them offline,” said Schwarz.

Michelle Halla, manager of access and information services at the library, said that construction is on track to be completed on time. She said most of the loud construction work was completed this summer.

Construction seems to be progressing on target for the Main Library and is due to be completed in the spring 2020 semester. The Science-Engineering Library is expected to be completed in the summer of 2020, according to Halla.

She also said she believes people get used to the changes caused by construction quickly, mainly from the signage that has continued to be updated.

Halla said most of the questions she hears are students asking where the quietest place in the library is located.

She noted that many students are taking advantage of the free earplugs that the library makes available.

The two libraries are being combined with the Bear Down Gymnasium. These buildings, together with the yet-to-bebuilt Student Success building, will make up the Student Success District. At this time, the technology lending has moved

OSIRIS-REx spacecraft getting closer to collecting asteroid samples During the summer, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft studied the surface of the asteroid Bennu searching for the perfect spot from which to extract samples

BY SYDNEY JONES @sydney_jones21

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft had a busy summer. OSIRIS-REx is currently operating around Bennu, a carbon-rich asteroid in an unstable orbit which may collide with Earth or another planet in 10 million years.

Scientists strive to learn more about its physical and chemical characteristics to understand how planets are formed and evolve over time.

The next phase of the mission took place over the summer by choosing the four potential sites for collecting material samples.

“We chose four sites that we are going to continue to investigate,” said Heather Enos, the deputy principal investigator for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission led by the University of Arizona.

The sites will be examined further in order to select the final two primary and backup sites for OSIRIS-REx to collect the asteroid samples.

“Our goal between now and the end of October is to collect very detailed information on each of the four sites selected,” Enos said.

This is the first time in U. S. history that a spacecraft will collect a sample of an asteroid and then travel millions of miles back to Earth for further study.

OSIRIS-REx has been orbiting Bennu since December 2018 to fully analyze the surface of the asteroid.

“We’re doing very focused observation on each of these sites to get a resolution of material where we can see rocks and such down to the 10 centimeter level,” Enos said.

Getting insight on the physical characteristics of Bennu allows for a higher probability of a successful sample collection on the first attempt.

The first step the OSIRIS-REx team took in determining the potential sites was to evaluate all safety factors.

“We have to do a pretty thorough safety assessment,” Enos said. “We always have to make sure that where we’re intending to perform our collection meets quite a bit of safety criteria that we

have predetermined.”

Scientists look at what they call “hazards” or “boulders” to determine whether or not OSIRIS-REx will be able to collect a sample from the area. The terrain must be suitable enough for the spacecraft to be able to maneuver on the asteroid’s surface.

Finding out what the real surface of Bennu looked like came as a surprise to scientists working on the mission.

“Based on a lot of our ground-based data that we had prior to launch of Bennu, we had an expectation that we would have a lot of beach-like material,” Enos said. “When we arrived at the asteroid, we found that we had a lot more large boulders that could potentially be hazardous for our TAG attempt.”

TAG, or Touch-And-Go, is the method that OSIRIS-REx will utilize when quickly pushing up against Bennu’s surface to collect a sample with an articulated arm.

With so many hazardous features on the asteroid, the scientists found that there was not as much real estate as they expected.

“One of the things we had to do was improve the accuracy and precision in which we will actually be able to maneuver down to the surface,” Enos said.

With the new safety factors in mind, scientists have been able to move forward in the mission to learn more about Earth’s origins.

“Having an understanding of your origins is a powerful thing,” Enos said. “Being able to be part of such an amazing first-time NASA mission for sample return gives us clues into what the solar system looked like billions of years ago and how its progressed.”

The mission of OSIRIS-REx is not only about learning more about where humans have come from, but also where else the species is headed in the future.

“It gives us insight to what was happening,” Enos said. “But it also gives us insight into how, perhaps, we need to understand taking care of our own planet going forward.”

OPINION | CAMPUS CULTURE

UA party culture is for the select few

BY RHAYA TRUMAN @mygrhaya

W

hen I first told people I was going to be attending the University of Arizona for college, I got one out of three reactions. The first was, “How are you going to handle the heat?”, which was usually met with the fact that I grew up in Illinois and was sick of the cold weather. The second was, “That is so far away,” which I was already fully aware of.

And lastly, the most common reaction, “UA is a big party school, can you handle that?”

Ever since I began my research on the UA, I had become aware of that. We are known for the picture-perfect sororities that are on Instagram’s explore page 24/7 and fraternities that know how to throw some parties. This did not bother nor excite me because, in general, I am more of a kick-back type of person. Ragers are fun once in a while, but eventually it gets boring and you get tired of seeing the same frat boy go from girl to girl for three hours straight.

What I did not expect when I got here was how hard it is to actually get into parties. I assumed that the fraternities would want their parties to be as packed as possible and would let any girl in because, well, they are girls. Coming from me, a freshman who was constantly told how much the UA parties, I assumed it wouldn’t take an arm, leg and a neck to get into these big parties I was warned about.

Oh was I wrong.

The UA is exactly what I’ve coined as a selective party school. A lot goes into the process of being able to party and so many steps need to be taken to get in.

First of all, the rise of wristbands has completely changed the party culture here. I know many juniors who don’t even remember wristbands being a thing when they were freshmen. Now, all people care about is having that paper on their wrist.

I see girls on my dorm floor, 90% of them in sororities, struggling to get into parties because they don’t have wristbands. The only way to get a hold of wristbands is to either be in a sorority and also be at the house when they get dropped off, know someone in a sorority or know somebody in a fraternity. And sometimes that doesn’t even get you anything. Partying at the UA is all about who you know, so if you are a freshman who isn’t in a sorority or hasn’t made friends yet, you are out of luck.

Maybe some people are not out of luck because there are unregistered parties. This basically means that you don’t need a wristband to get in and can just walk up to the door. Some

of these are registered, but the majority aren’t.

But in order to get into these parties, you have to look the part. And by that, I don’t mean wear the skimpiest dress, I mean have the correct skin color, hair etc.

One night when my roommate finally convinced me to go to a frat party, it was completely obvious the “ideal” girl these non-wristband frats wanted. I saw many girls of color on the lawn calling ubers and rides because the frat wouldn’t let them in. Not only was it girls of color but girls with short hair, girls who weren’t 120 pounds or less and girls who weren’t dressed “slutty” enough. This completely grossed me out and turned me off to frats instantly.

As a freshman, it seems like the only way you can party is to go to frats. Being an upperclassman, you have apartments and bars you can go to to party. As freshmen who live in dorms where resident assistants are following your every move, it is a little bit harder. This is all coming from someone who has no preference toward partying at all. For some people, frat parties are how they socialize, and to call yourself a party school for all is far from correct.

I don’t have a desire to go to fraternity parties because I feel as if more bad happens there than good, but for people who want to have that choice, it should not matter how short their skirt is or the color of their skin. Frat parties have become about boys letting girls that are their type in just so they can flirt and try to get their fun for the night, and that is what is causing this divide. It’s not about partying, it’s about what the boys can do with the girls after.

If you are an incoming freshman looking to come to the UA, I would highly suggest staying away from frat parties. I understand it might mean missing out on some memorable nights, but all of the stress that comes with trying to find wristbands and “accepting” frats isn’t worth it for the usually weird frat boys and mediocre music.

More importantly, if you are an incoming freshman looking to come to the UA for the party culture specifically, there are a few things you are going to have to do to ensure “Thirsty Thursdays.” You are going to have to do at least one of the following: First, join Greek life, or, second, have a roommate who is in Greek life from whom you can leech your party information. Third, be the skinny white girl they prefer. Fourth, know someone in Greek life. And , finally, fifth, don’t be afraid to show skin at parties to ensure the bouncer lets you in.

Happy partying.

NEWS | OPIOIDS

Easing off opioids for chemotherapy treatment In the midst of a national epidemic, UA researchers are working to find a way to treat the side effects of chemotherapy without using opiods

BY NOAH CULLEN @noahcullen8

Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing a compound that would be used as an alternative to opioids in treating the pain of chemotherapy.

according to a College of Medicine press release.

In an attempt to stray away from the use of opioids to combat pain, Khanna and his team are seeking an alternative.

“So there’s a big push by the country’s governing bodies for research,” Khanna said. “And the way they’re doing it is putting in an influx of money to fund education and research at various levels to educate both physicians and the users about the problems of opioids. But also at the research level, to come up with

numerous challenges with developing these compounds.

“It takes 10-15 years from scratch to the market,” Wei Wang said. “But for drugs targeting the brain, it’s even longer because a lot of molecules cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.”

Wei Wang also stressed the high risk involved when dealing with compounds meant to target the brain.

Some toxicities can take as long as 10 years to be found. This is because previously unfound toxicities can appear when more people are exposed to the drug, according to Wei Wang.

In an email, Wei Wang described the basic overall process for drug development as follows: “1. Target identification 2.

Assay development and hit identification 3. Structural modification/structure-

The ongoing opioid crisis has recently been brought to light when Purdue Pharma L.P., the makers of the prescription painkiller OxyContin, filed for bankruptcy in September of this year, according to a report from the Associated Press.

The pharmaceutical company filed for bankruptcy days after a tentative agreement was made with suing state and local governments.

Lawsuits asserted that Purdue Pharma purposely sold “OxyContin as a drug with a low risk of addiction despite knowing that wasn’t true,” according to the same report.

Rajesh Khanna, professor of pharmacology at the UA College of Medicine – Tucson, described how opioids become problematic.

“Opioids have a slew of problems,” Khanna said. “So, you take some and get some relief. You take more and get relief, but after a while, you develop tolerance and dependency. So you need to take more to have the same pain relief, but also, in some cases, it also exacerbates and elicits upon opioidinduced hyperalgesia, which just means basically opioid-induced pain.”

Khanna is also the co-founder of Regulonix, the company that received a grant of $341,528 to pursue this research,

new drugs that are bypassing this opioid pathway so you don’t need opioids and can have the same amount of pain relief with something else, and this is where our research in the lab, and particularly through our company called Regulonix.”

According to Khanna, Jun Wang, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicinal chemistry-pharmacology and toxicology, came to him with a series of early leads that eventually became the series of compounds they are currently working with.

“So we have a compound that is selected for a particular kind of channel that is a hot target for Pharma.

It’s called the T-type calcium channel,” Khanna said. “We have shown efficacy in pre-clinical rodent studies, showing reversal of pain by these molecules in a rat model of chemotherapy-induced pain.”

Dr. Wei Wang, co-director of the Arizona Center for Drug Discovery and professor of pharmacology and toxicology, described one of the

activity relationship (SAR) study 4. Preclinical studies 5.

Phase I clinical studies 6.

Phase II clinical studies 7. Phase III clinical studies 8. Approval and launch.”

Some faculty in the department of pharmacology have compounds within Phase I clinical trials.

Some are still in earlier stages. Wei Wang’s team, along with Khanna’s, have come up with around 10 compounds, according to Wei Wang.

Wei Wang pointed out the necessity for more medicinal chemists to speed up the process.

A possible idea from Khanna suggested the combination of their drug with a certain level of opioid that doesn’t yield toxicity or side effects.

“You take a lot of opioids, you have

a lot of problems. You get pain relief, but you also get many bad side effects,” Khanna said. “What if you decreased your opioid intake to a level where you don’t get any side effects but you also don’t get any pain relief? Not a good thing. But now you add a little bit of our compound with a subtherapeutic dose of morphine and now you have pain relief.”

Within the context of the opioid crisis, research like this becomes more and more necessary.

“Despite the numerous side effects associated with opioids, they surprisingly continue being approved,” Khanna said.

“Now, until we come up with another class of drugs that are non-opioid in nature, this is going to continue … unless we as a company [Regulonix] and we as a pain group at the University of Arizona discover a new class of drugs that bypass the opioid system.”

Adoption event sheds light on different kind of wild cat

BY HANNAH CREE @hannahcreenews

Prepare yourself to meet some cute and cuddly creatures at the Tucson Shelter United Adoption Weekend on Oct. 18-20.

The Humane Society of Southern Arizona, Pima Animal Care Center and Hermitage Cat Shelter, a no-kill shelter, are offering discounted adoption fees, raffles and other pet-related festivities at each of their facilities over the weekend. In celebration of National Foster Appreciation Day, Hermitage Cat Shelter is also offering an additional informational session on cat fostering on Oct. 18, plus the chance to meet former foster cats.

However, before you rush into picking up your furry pet, this upcoming adoption event sheds light on a problem that the University of Arizona has dealt with for many years: stray cats making the campus their home.

According to David Bishop, UA College of Pharmacy building

manager and former board member at Hermitage, stray cats are on college campuses across the country.

Bishop reports that the best strategy to combat stray cat overpopulation is to trap, neuter and release.

“Volunteers will trap them and neuter them so that they can’t reproduce and then return them to their calling,” Bishop said.

Although he has helped stray cats on campus find homes through his connections at Hermitage, Bishop said that adoption or relocation is not always an option. In that scenario, Bishop claimed that having a controlled colony is the best thing.

Cat lovers at the UA also have ways to get involved.

According to their website, the CATS4Critters club is dedicated to “improving the lives of stray animals on the UA campus and in the Tucson community.”

Susan Miller, the deputy director for Cyber Infrastructure Research at the Data Science Institute and club coordinator for CATS4Critters, said that

part of the CATS4Critters purpose is to also inform possible pet owners about the responsibility of owning an animal.

“We do try to educate students about

the fact that if you get a pet, it’s a 20-25 year commitment,” Miller said.

twist and shout

GRAPHIC BY AMBER SOLAND | THE DAILY WILDCAT

Some people seem to develop completely different personalities when they drink and one University of Arizona student apparently embraced his inner brawlin’ sailor.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a reported fight brewing at Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall at around 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 5.

The officer spoke with a resident assistant who led him to the bottom of a staircase inside the dorm. There, two students were sitting on the steps.

The officer noted that one of the students had a significant amount of blood on his chin, arms, legs and clothes. He began to speak with the student, but found him to be incoherent.

The student then began to act aggressively, according to the officer’s report. He attempted to stand but immediately lost his balance. The officer instructed him to sit down for his own safety.

Continuing his aggressive behavior, the student started shouting at people nearby.

The officer asked bystanders to leave the area and wait in the lobby due to safety concerns.

Another officer arrived to help the first officer try to get the student to cooperate, though he continued to disregard their orders. The officer ultimately handcuffed the man.

When emergency medical service workers arrived, they asked the man for his

medical information, but he did not appear to want their aid, as he kept pulling away from them, according to the report.

The student then began to yell obscenities and threats at the emergency personnel on scene. The first officer told the student to lower his voice, but the student continued to yell.

The first officer reported that at this point he noticed that the student smelled like alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and swayed when he stood.

Tucson Fire Department workers arrived on scene and ultimately decided it was best to take the student to the hospital. They attempted to put him on a gurney, but the student did not cooperate and began to kick and scream. The workers eventually got him on.

The officer put a spit sock, a lightweight, translucent hood designed to prevent spit from hitting emergency workers, on the student.

The student was taken to Banner — University Medical Center, cursing all the way, according to the report.

Later that day, at around 9:30 p.m., the officer returned to follow up with the student. The officer spoke with the student in his room. He admitted that he had drank “a little too much alcohol” that night, approximately seven shots of vodka.

The officer cited the student, who was under 21 years old, with minor in possession in body.

pushing it

He suspected they had stolen it from the UA. A second witness near the Honors Village reported a similar sight, though he told officers one of the men had been pushing the wheeled generator and the other had been walking two bicycles.

One of the officers quickly found the generator sitting on the sidewalk on Drachman Street. He noted that one of the identifying labels looked like it had recently been damaged. An employee associated with the company that manages the generators late confirmed that a generator had been taken from an on-campus construction site.

A second UAPD officer located a man matching the description of one of the suspects walking up Park Avenue pushing two bicycles. The officer detained and handcuffed the man.

The general maintenance employee positively identified the detained man as one of the men he had seen pushing the generator.

The man said he could not remember where the generator had been taken from, according to the officer who interviewed him. The officer suggested they drive along the route the man thought he took, as it might jog his memory. The man agreed.

He ultimately said that the other man had taken it from a construction area west of the Main Library. He also denied taking anything himself or knowing his friend was planning to steal the generator.

The second man was found by an officer near Park Avenue and Adams Street. The man admitted to the officer that he and the first man had stolen the generator from the construction site near the library.

The officers spoke with the construction site’s project supervisor, who identified the stolen generator and said that the construction company would press charges for burglary.

The men were arrested, transported to Pima County Jail and booked on charges of third degree burglary.

The burglary of a generator at a construction site ended up generating police activity all over campus, from the Main Library to the Honors Village.

UAPD officers responded to the area near Mabel Street and Santa Rita Avenue after receiving a report about two unknown men pushing a generator at around 5 a.m on Oct. 2.

The officer spoke with the reporting party, a UA general maintenance employee, who told them the men had been pushing a large, industrial-level generator on wheels.

Student death at Posada San Pedro

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique

The University of Arizona Police Department is still investigating the death of a student at Posada San Pedro Residence Hall on Oct. 11.

As of Monday, Oct. 14, officers are still in the midst of the investigation and did not have new information to release.

“We’re still reviewing all the evidence and doing any other needed follow-up at this point,” UAPD public information officer Jesus Aguilar said.

This includes talking to witnesses.

The student died after falling off a walkway at Posada San Pedro early Friday morning.

Emergency personnel responded to the scene and attempted lifesaving measures before transporting the student to Banner — University Medical Center. According to a UAPD media release, he reportedly had injuries consistent with that of a fall from a great height.

The student was pronounced dead at 6:13 a.m., according to the media release.

The family was notified of the death the same day. Authorities have not yet released the student’s name.

Anyone with information can call the UAPD’s non-emergency line at (520) 621-8273 or (520) 621-8477.

Counseling and Psychological Services is available for students struggling with this news. Employees looking for aid may contact Life & Work Connections.

ARTS & LIFE | ANIMAL EVENT

CAT EVENT FROM PAGE 7

Bishop partly attributes UA’s stray cat issue to the students who can’t take their pets with them when they graduate or return home for the holidays.

“Letting an animal go just because you’re tired of it or you can’t take it with you is not the best option,” Bishop said.

Holly Simon, Hermitage’s Adoptions Coordinator, said that she tries her best to prevent that problem of irresponsible adoption.

“Whenever I get a college student who wants to adopt, I kind of grill them a little bit,” Simon said. “It’s not just a four-year commitment, it is going to be for the next 20 years of their life.”

For a college student considering adopting an animal, Simon recommends considering future plans beyond the four years at a university.

“Are they willing to relocate with the animal? Are they going to be moved overseas? Are they going to have a transient type of job where they could be traveling a lot?” Simon said. “That’s the kind of things that they need to consider, not just for the time that they’re here.”

According to the event’s Facebook

page, the three shelters are looking to find a home for 600 pets. By offering half-price adoption fees on adult cats, Simon said she hopes Hermitage can go above and beyond.

“Those animals are so appreciative of a second chance and ... they really do make the best pets,” she said.

Shelter employees like Simon also recognize the big picture of no-kill animal shelters.

“Whether you’re going to Pima Animal Care Center, you go to Maricopa County or you go to the Humane Society, it doesn’t matter,” Simon said.

“We’re all working for the same goal.”

THE PIMA ANIMAL CARE Center is a no-kill shelter and most animals stay less than 30 days before being adopted. The center also spays, neuters and provides microchips and vaccines.

Modern styles through the art of thrifting This week’s Around the Corner features a thrift shop on Fourth Avenue that brings vintage back into style. The Tucson Thrift Shop was established in 1979 as a way to give back to the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, Calif. that saved the current owner’s father from cancer

A RACK OF VINTAGE clothing inside the Tucson Thrift Shop on Fourth Avenue in Downtown Tucson. Tucson Thrift Shop was established in 1979.

Tucson Thrift Shop stands as a colorful relic in the heart of Fourth Avenue, with shades of blues, yellows, pinks, purples, oranges and greens covering the exterior of the building.

Inside, the store embodies the vibes of a walk-in closet, with articles of clothing of any size, type and style from princess tiaras to denim jackets.

The store was established in 1979 and “continues to provide a marketplace for creative shoppers seeking their own personal style,” according to the Tucson Thrift Shop’s website.

Nadia Hagen, an employee of Tucson Thrift Shop, describes the shop as a “fun, funky costume, vintage type of store.”

“Back in the day, you could really find vintage, you know, if you went to Goodwill or any of those places, but now it is rarer and rarer to find vintage,” Hagen said. “This is what makes this store really special.”

For Tucson native and owner Arlene Leaf, the original inspiration for the store came through her retired father, whose original intention was to benefit the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, Calif. that saved his life from cancer.

After his passing, Leaf continued the operation of the store and switched locations to 319 N. Fourth Ave. After the move to the bigger location, Leaf would go out and buy staple items, like different kinds of sunglasses, trying to build the kind of store she wanted.

As far as shopper demographic goes, the Tucson Thrift Shop has seen a multitude of people from different walks of life over the last two decades.

“The consciousness and awareness level has changed, which I really have got to experience first-hand,” Leaf said.

“The people today, they have a very fine appreciation for the old. They understand the tactile nature of the whole thing, it has got its old vibrations … they really have a sense of what it all means and the piece of our history that it represents.”

According to Leaf, Halloween is the busiest time for the business, so they gear up for it all year long.

“We see a lot of University of Arizona students who come in for all sorts of reasons, from date dashes, parties and such,” Hagen said. “For a lot of them, since the Halloween season is looming near, this is when they discover us. They come in flocks and we try to hook them up with the best.”

According to Hagen, the shop provides “through the age” themes from different eras.

“With each passing year, the interpretation of ‘eras’ have brought different ways of bringing them to life, and so we have to keep evolving in order to look through the eras through different eyes,” Hagen said.

The UA community is not the only community that is involved, a lot of surrounding businesses also participate in Halloween in their own way.

“I have gotten some Halloween costumes there. They are awesome and they have always taken really good care of me,” Barrow said. “I have always had really great experiences there.”

Barrow mentioned that he recognizes how the Halloween season helps the store thrive.

“I know for a fact that it is their busiest month,” Barrow said. “They kind of hate [being the] only place in Tucson where you can get really authentic costumes. Not those plastic costumes, they are real and authentic.”

He compared the shopping experience to be like old record albums in the sense that the trend had “died” but then suddenly came back into style.

“That’s how it is with thrifting,” he said. “People like to thrift.”

Siyyid ‘Alí-Muhammad took the title of "the Báb" (meaning “Gate” in Arabic) and said the one whose coming He foretold would be the universal Manifestation of God sent to inaugurate an age of peace and enlightenment as promised in all the world’s religions Bahá’ís consider the Báb to be both an independent Messenger of God and the forerunner of Bahá’u’lláh (“the Glory of God” in Arabic), who is the founder of the Bahá’í Faith. The Báb set in motion a spiritual movement. Stories of the Báb's Cause and the heroism of those who followed it spread to the East and the West. His life and teachings captured the imaginations of numerous Western writers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bahá'ís around the globe are preparing programs for this special occasion. On October 19th, Tucson Bahá’ís, together with their neighbors, families, and friends, will commemorate the births of these Twin Luminaries.

NEWS | AGRIVOLTAICS

Construction of rooftop agrivoltaic units delayed

BY JAKE TOOLE @JakeToole4

In November of last year, the Office of Sustainability, along with student organizations such as the Students for Sustainability, presented a plan for an agrivoltaic unit to be built on the roof of the Environment and Natural Resources 2 building.

The plan combined solar paneling and green roof and was originally planned to start construction earlier, but according to Trevor Ledbetter, the director of the Office of Sustainability, it was delayed due to a lack of funding.

Ledbetter said they were still trying to figure out how to fund both parts of the project.

According to Ledbetter, the solution came through meeting with Tucson Electric Power and incorporating the project with the 100% clean energy deal agreed to earlier this year.

“Within that project, which of course sources 100% of our grid-based electricity from renewable resources, we also wrote in an agreement with Tucson Electric Power

to create two solar demonstration sites on campus,” Ledbetter said. “One of those being the ENR2 agrivoltaics project and the other being off-district.”

According to Ledbetter, construction of the green-roof portion of the project will start in November and will be completed at the end of February. He said it will include the setting of supports for solar panels, installation of the green roof and irrigation.

Stanley Wong, a co-director of Students for Sustainability, said there have been meetings to discuss the beginning of construction.

“We have been finalizing the plans for soil depth and layout of plots on the roof to give to the contractor,” Wong said.

Ledbetter said that conversations are continuing with TEP about when the solar portion of the project will be built.

He said that based on a previous timeline, TEP is expected to put the solar panels into the unit by the end of summer 2020, which would mean that the entire agrivoltaics project would be finished by August 2020.

ARTS & LIFE | RAMBLERS HIKING CLUB

Explore Tucson with the University of Arizona’s oldest club

BY CLAUDIO CERRILLO @cloudycorduroy

With countless hikes available within an hour of the University of Arizona, scores of students that share a passion for the outdoors would group together, forming what would eventually be touted as UA’s oldest club.

Known as the UA Ramblers Hiking Club, this student organization exists for a simple reason: the desire to get out and about, both in Tucson and beyond.

For a club that has been around since 1946, the formula has remained fairly simple. According to Jon Hollister, the vice president of the Ramblers Hiking Club, there isn’t much to it. “[There’s a] lifetime fee of $20,” Hollister said. “Even when you graduate, you can come back and do hikes. With that, too, you get the shirt and access to all of our gear.”

Access to the gear is a beneficial perk, as you are able to check out all the essentials, including backpacks, sleeping bags and tents. However useful gear for the hikes is, the real heart of the club comes from the community fostered by those actively participating.

According to Hollister, members setup hikes via the club listserv or Facebook page. In the announcements, there will be basic information about the upcoming hike, including trail location, length and difficulty, and there is always a note detailing how much water to bring.

Carpooling is provided, adding to a sense of all-around inclusivity that club president Peter Vollmer recalls feeling when first joining the club.

“I went to one of the meetings, thought it was pretty cool and so I started showing up to hikes,” Vollmer said. “It was really good for me because I didn’t have a car at the time, and we carpool to everything. It was really easy for me to go out and explore Tucson with other people.”

With over 50 active student members and still growing, the club is large enough to foster an assortment of hiking styles and trips for members to choose from, according to Vollmer. This variety is one aspect that appealed to Mya Long, a UA graduate that still participates and even leads hikes in the ramblers club today.

“I really enjoy how anyone can lead,” Long said. “Let’s say I like Jon’s hiking style, I will stick to Jon’s hikes.”

For many, including Long, being a part of the ramblers club means progressing in experience as hiker and a leader.

“I led my first camping and hiking trip last weekend and that was a whole new experience,” Long said.

She went on to speak about the club’s collective experience that allowed her to improve as a hiker.

MEMBERS OF THE UA Ramblers Hiking Club rest along the trail from King’s Canyon to Wasson Peak on Sept. 15. Any student in the AZ Ramblers can organize a hike based on difficulty and experience.

“There’s so many people that know what they’re doing, and now that I’m experienced, I love that I can share my knowledge with new people,” Long said.

Legacy is another trait associated with the University’s oldest club, a factoid frequently touted and often accompanied by a quick chuckle by members like Long and Hollister. University alumni frequently keep in contact with the club, allowing those with decades of hiking experience to connect with students that are just taking up the hobby. Sometimes the connection goes beyond expected.

“I once wore a ramblers t-shirt to one of my distant family get-togethers. I didn’t even know this but somebody in my family said, ‘Oh! I was a part of Ramblers went I went to college,’” Long recalled, laughing.

If you have some experience, no experience or just want a group of people to join a challenging trail with, the Ramblers Hiking Club may be just the group for you. “[It’s a] very welcoming community,” Long said, commenting on the club’s inclusivity.

The Ramblers Hiking Club meets every other Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the Forbes building, Room 307. For up-to-date posts on the hikes a leader.

OPINIONS | FEES

Differential tuition and program fees have to go

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999 I will have paid $8,000 in program fees and differential tuition alone to graduate from the University of Arizona with Honors and a double major — and I am not unique.

Program fees are different from the suite of mandatory fees UA students pay because they only apply to students in a particular major or pre-major. Similarly, differential tuition is paid by students within a particular college in addition to their university tuition.

Around 12 years ago, the nation faced an economic crisis and Arizona began the largest cuts in state funding for higher education in the country. Many UA programs and colleges turned to students in the form of new program fees and differential tuition to stay afloat, even as the UA raised in-state tuition by more than 20% three years in a row.

In 2019, the UA no longer faces the existential crisis of campus-wide layoffs, deferred maintenance and shuttered academic programs.

Yet these new costs for UA students remain and continue to grow.

These fees have become part of a set of policies that insulate UA’s administration from criticism, preventing the development of proposals to keep higher education affordable for Arizona students.

The groundwork that set the stage for the proliferation of program fees and differential tuition was laid in the aftermath of 2003.

The Arizona Board of Regents, which governs Arizona’s three public universities, voted to raise UA’s in-state tuition by almost 40%. A group of students sued the board in 2003 for violating Arizona’s constitutional requirement to keep university tuition “nearly as free” as possible.

While the board won a victory at the Arizona Supreme Court, it went on to formalize differential tuition rules in 2006 and oversaw the rapid expansion and introduction of mandatory fees linked to campus facilities. This trend can be traced to UA’s recent and contentious introduction of an athletic fee.

UA’s former president Peter Likins argued the introduction of these fees helped the UA keep tuition increases for the majority of current and new students as low as possible. The fees allowed the university to align student tuition with the individual costs of education within individual programs.

This free-market approach, though, creates higher barriers to entry that can drive students from disadvantaged backgrounds away from programs with additional fees, hurting access and diversity.

While all program fees are required to provide some fee waivers, the bar to obtain one is high. By only examining unmet financial need according to the FAFSA, many students in need fall through the cracks.

When Likins argued in favor of these fees, he had in mind UA’s business, engineering and architecture programs, which generally offer students high-salaried employment after graduation.

Today, UA’s program fees and differential tuition affect many more students, from journalism and political science juniors to neuroscience and cognitive science freshmen.

Not all these subjects offer the same guarantee that Likins saw for engineers.

I briefly served on the School of Government and Public Policy’s Student Governance Board, which helps oversee the the spending of SGPP’s student program fees.

SGPP’s fee revenue primarily paid the salary of some professors. Before SGPP received the fee revenue, the UA collected a portion of the fee as part of an administrative service charge.

UA programs and colleges are limited on how they spend student fee money and must link their requests to higher costs of educating students because of the need to access special equipment, technology, key personnel expenses or other market conditions.

Counter to the free-market argument, the potential salary of program graduates or their job prospects are not necessarily considered.

Altogether, the broad expansion of these fees has reduced pressure on UA’s administration to provide adequate funding to academic programs and boosted its revenue from students. This has helped enabled the UA to slow the growth of instate tuition and offer students a four-year tuition guarantee.

While at face value this may seem beneficial, these policies have obscured the changing cost of attendance for students and dramatically reduced incentives for large-scale organized student protests against tuition and fee increases that found success in previous decades.

While an increase in higher education funding from the state legislature will help lower Arizona students’ real cost of attendance, it will not impact the structural shift that has occurred at the UA — a shift that has transformed UA’s spending priorities and what a university should be.

If UA students and Arizonans want to keep university degrees as affordable as possible, they should no longer allow the UA to obscure its true costs from scrutiny by expanding program fees and differential tuition. Students should no longer be bearing the burden of a financial crisis that has long since passed.

SPORTS | COACHING SPOTLIGHT

Cross country coach teaches body-mind connection James Li has been a member of the Arizona cross country coaching staff for 17 years. Originally training in Bejing, China, Li was the head manager of the Men’s USA Team for the 2008 Olympics

BY JOHNNIE MITCHELL @johnuiemitchh

For every parent who has instinctively put their kids in sports just to keep them out of trouble, University of Arizona’s associate track coach James Li shows how far that simple instinct can take a kid.

In the hot China summers during the 1970s, there wasn’t much to offer a kid for entertainment, so Li’s mother influenced him to really start running when he was a teenage boy.

However, Li started to stand out a little bit and continued to run in college at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education and went on to be one of the top 10 middle distance runners in China between 1980 and 1982.

Shortly thereafter, he began coaching in China and hasn’t stopped because running had taken hold of him ever since.

“Always trying to run and run fast through the effort, the determination,” Li said. “The mental aspect of things, in addition to physical things, is always such an attractive thing to me.”

Because Li knows that it takes extreme mental and physical strength to be a talented and fast distance runner, he looks for these traits and tries to instill them in his runners.

Being halfway through this cross country season, Li’s runners are really starting to show that.

“I think the season is going well,” Li said. “More so in the women’s side, I think. The women look a lot more solid.”

Arizona’s women’s cross country team has seven to eight girls that are all running consistent and solid races, which was one of their goals going into the season. The women that went to Notre Dame this past weekend made personal records and still believe they can do better. The big hope is for the women to be knocking on the door to qualify as a team to go to nationals this year.

“Our men are a little more of a challenge right now,” Li said. “We are better than what we have shown, so hopefully, in this next race, we will make some improvement, because this last race, it was Carlos [Villarreal]’s first

and, for most of our guys, it was their first time running in that high power of a race.”

Li also had this to say about why it’s difficult for freshmen to get used to college running.

“Cross country is really challenging for the freshmen men because, in a matter of months, they have to go up in distance,” Li said. “They go from 5k to 8k, and a lot of times, you just have to wait another year for them to really actually develop, because if you do too much too soon, you risk them getting injured.”

With cross country’s men’s team being a bit younger right now, the goal for the men is good improvement. The hardworking spirit that Li empowers them with will make that goal very achievable. And with Arizona’s Carlos Villarreal helping the team and being a role model for all of the new runners, Arizona should be in good hands.

Whether it be in cross country races, mid-distance track races or the Olympic Games, athletes can expect to perform well if they’re under Li. His decorated background in coaching in China, Washington State, Arizona,

having been the head manager for the US Olympic team in 2008 and having gone to five Olympic Games with his own athletes proves that his love for running loves him back. Who knows, maybe coach Li can be spotted alongside an athlete in Tokyo this summer.

According to Ledbetter, UA students have still been a part of the planning and meetings throughout the process.

“So, we’ve still been working with students out of Students for Sustainability,” Ledbetter said. “And we’ve been working with the co-directors for Students for Sustainability as well as the chairs for the Energy and Climate Committee.”

Wong also said that students have continued to be included in the project.

“Students are still a part of the planning and process of the projects,” Wong said.

“We are invited to the meetings and our opinions are considered.”

Ledbetter said that the agrivoltaics projects being a part of the much bigger project, which is the UA and TEP deal, will continue to show the UA’s commitment to sustainability.

“So, these two projects really serve multiple purposes,” Ledbetter said. “One, to really continue to show U of A’s dedication to renewable energy and environmental stewardship, but also to improve research using campus as a living laboratory to ground the overall deal to a space that can help people understand what we are doing.”

NEWS | EMMA GOODSTEIN

Medical resident recieves national award for community service Doctors work hard to serve their patients, and one family and community medical resident has been acknowledged for going above and beyond in her service

BY CIARA JEAN @ciara__jean

Dr. Emma Goodstein, a family and community medicine resident at Banner — University Medical Center, has been honored with a national award for her work in community medicine. Goodstein received the 2019 National Community Service Recognition award from the Association of American Medical Colleges.

AAMC presents this award to the resident who has given to the community beyond what their residency requires. It “recognizes those who have made contributions above and beyond the rigors of residency training to improve the local communities surrounding their training institution,” according to the AAMC website.

“I actually didn’t know what it really was when I got it because my program director nominated me,” Goodstein said.

Dr. Sommer Aldulaimi, associate professor of family and community medicine and associate residency program director, nominated Goodstein for working hard during her time of residency at the Arizona Asylum Network Organization.

“Dr. Goodstein is passionate and cares about her patients tremendously,” Aldulaimi said in her letter of recommendation for the award. “She has gone above and beyond to advocate for her patients, and her patients love her.”

Goodstein contributes most of her volunteer hours with refugees and asylum seekers who come across the U.S.-Mexico border.

During her residency with the Arizona Asylum Network Organization, she has planned a multidisciplinary workshop to train physicians to perform medical forensic examinations for asylum seekers. She has also found a way to offer Continuing Medical Education credit to providers who have completed the training.

“Being a medical resident is grueling and often means working 80 hours a week, but Emma always finds time for community service,” said Dr. Claire Lamneck in an email. “Not only does Emma perform forensic evaluations to strengthen an individual’s asylum case, but she also helps to train and inspire other medical providers to do the same.”

Goodstein volunteers at Casa Alitas, a shelter program for asylum seekers. The program services migrant families who have left their homes due

to violence or poverty. She performed medical screening exams for asylum seekers who were dropped off by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She also writes training for physicians on how to perform medical evaluations.

Other community service she has done in the past includes the Latino LinQ/GLADLY study, where she tested for HIV at nightclubs; the South Georgia Farmworker Health Project, where she provided medical care to migrant farmworkers through mobile clinics; and Clarkston Community Health Center, where she directed a weekly student-run, free medical clinic for refugees in the Atlanta area.

“Even though she is doing so much in terms of service, Dr. Goodstein has been elected our new chief resident for next year,” Aldulaimi said.

This year, Goodstein has also won the Resident Achievement Award from the University of Arizona South campus and was a nominee for the Arizona Association of Family Physicians Brazie Award for Outstanding Second Year Resident.

Goodstein is originally from Portland, Ore., but graduated in 2010 from Wesleyan University with a bachelor’s degree in history. She decided she wanted to go to medical school at the end of college.

“I didn’t really have a lot of purpose and I wanted to do something useful,” Goodstein said.

It was during her post-bacc year and her experience in 2012 working with Partners in Health in Chiapas, Mexico, that she knew she wanted to do family medicine.

“I was working with these doctors that worked in these little tiny clinics where they had no interest or cell phones and basically just had their brains,” Goodstein said. “I thought that was super cool, and that’s when I decided I wanted to go into medicine.”

In 2013, Goodstein attended the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Ga., where she got her M.D. The UA College of Medicine South campus was her first choice when picking a residency because it was close to the border, where she wanted to work the most. Her newly wedded husband also matched at the UA in emergency medicine.

To help with her volunteering and job, Goodstein is now an official bilingual health care provider after taking the test this year. She has been practicing her Spanish since she was in grade school, but she didn’t feel comfortable speaking Spanish until she went to Chiapas and was the only English speaker, she said.

Goodstein will be recognized at the AAMC annual meeting in November, where she will be awarded $1,250 to give to a non-profit charity of her choice.

She chose to donate to Casa Alitas.

She said she encourages everyone to get out there and volunteer, doctor or otherwise, because there are a lot of people who need help.

In her free time, when she is not with her residency and volunteering, she likes to ride her bike around Tucson, garden and read science fiction.
