UA to merge with Banner BY arieLLa nOth The Daily Wildcat

On Monday afternoon, President Ann Weaver Hart sent out an email announcing that the University of Arizona Health Network merger with Banner Health is set to be completed at the start of 2015.

Hart said the expected date for all paperwork to be signed is the week of Jan. 12, 2015 and the closure date is Jan. 31, 2015. She said in the email that this date “provides the time to complete the remaining work.”

This merger was announced in June and a press release said the merger will generate $1 billion in new revenue. The press release also stated that one goal of the merger was to eliminate the debt burdening UAHN, which was estimated to be around $146 million at the time.

“Not only will these dates provide the time needed for our integration teams to complete their work,” Hart said,” but they also will provide time to secure a comprehensive fairness opinion from an outside firm and bring

the best possible agreement forward to the boards of directors and regents of the respective organizations for their approval.

This schedule will also help ensure a smooth transition for employees, physicians and patients.”

The merger will involve the creation of new statewide health care system and new academic programs to benefit medical students, according to the press release. It was also projected that the merger would result in more than 6,000 employees at UAHN’s hospitals, as well as the health plan

and medical group, merging into Banner Health. This would make Banner Health Arizona’s largest private employer, with more than 37,000 employees, according to the press release.

“The proposals under discussion will enable a bright future for medical education and innovation at the UA and top-quality patient care in Tucson and throughout Arizona,” Hart said.

UA engineers received a grant to fund a research project on improving the security of Wi-Fi transmissions

BY ChastitY LasKeY The Daily Wildcat

Two UA engineers are working towards securing Wi-Fi through collaborative research.

Marwan Krunz, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and principal investigator for this research, said in an email interview that Wi-Fi transmissions are much less secure than people think.

“It has been shown that a malicious eavesdropper can infer with 80 percent accuracy the type of online activities of a Wi-Fi user by monitoring the wireless medium for only five seconds,” Krunz said. “This accuracy goes up with the monitoring time.”

A UA instructor has been under fire for recent comments made in an online opinion piece. Musa al-Gharbi, who serves as an academic affiliate at the Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts and an adjunct instructor at the UA, published an opinion piece regarding the U.S. military and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria on the website Truthout.

In the piece, titled “How Much Moral High Ground Does the U.S. Have Over ISIS?”, al-Gharbi writes that the U.S. military is “a greater threat” to peace in the Middle East than ISIS. “Without question, ISIS is an abomination,” al-Gharbi writes. “… It would not be a stretch to say that the United States is actually a greater threat to peace and stability in the region than ISIS.” Chris Sigurdson, the senior associate vice president of university relations, said in an email that al-Gharbi’s writings were not representative of the UA. “Musa al-Gharbi … was not writing for any part of his employment at the University of Arizona,” Sigurdson said. “…

He is a limited-term adjunct instructor who teaches one class at a branch campus and [is] part of a volunteer research collective that receives no state or university funding. I am not aware of any violation of university policy.”

Sigurdson also said the sentiments expressed in al-

The intent of the piece, al-Gharbi said in the email, was to point out that the U.S. needs to focus on its own issues first before entering in a war against ISIS. “The point of the article was to say basically, ‘Before we let our politicians drag us into another ill-conceived and unending war — we have

A company based out of Olean, N.Y., is now making it much easier for students to get good grades and meet deadlines for school by doing their work for them.

Paymetodoyourhomework.com is a business where college students can pay individuals to do their school assignments.

“We can do any work,” owner Jessica Mott said. “We take your complete online class for you. We do all your discussions, quizzes, blog posts, your final exam, your midterm — we can do anything.”

The idea for the site came about three years ago when Mott was earning $30 to $40 by proofreading essays for friends who were attending college and decided to make a business out of it.

“I created the website for about $20, and in about seven days, I had already made about $3,000,” Mott said. “Our revenue right now is over half a million dollars. It’s a neverending clientele.”

Mott said that about 626 people from Arizona view the website per month and 50 to 60 percent of those people end up using the service.

“We get a lot of students from ASU, about 100 inquiries a month,” Mott said. “One-third of those students end up paying [for the service], but that is steadily increasing.”

Since the business began, about 75 to 100 UA students have used the service.

Students leave UA to fight in Israel

BY Leah CresSwell

Arizona Sonora News Service

Gahl Schuster was a sophomore at the UA when he packed his bags and moved 7,500 miles from home to fight for a country he also calls home.

“Every other hour I thought I needed to be in Israel,” said Gahl Schuster, who joined the Israeli Defense Force to fight alongside other American Jews who felt as equally connected to Israel as he did.

According to statistics from Nefesh B’Nefesh — an organization that provides people with the opportunity to make Aliyah, or immigrate to Israel — there have been 40,000 olim (new immigrants) from the U.S., U.K. and Canada since the group was founded in 2002.

UA sophomore Ryan Armendariz has a similar pull. She has no intention of quitting school but is determined to move to Israel and become a citizen once she earns her political science and Spanish degrees.

“I officially decided I wanted to make Aliyah when I was there in July,” said the Nogales, Ariz., native, referring to the process of getting Israeli citizenship. “I went on Birthright in January and thought it was a great place to visit but not to live. When I went back in May, I completely fell in love with Israel.

Mott said she hears every excuse imaginable for why a student cannot do their online class, study for exams or complete an assignment, but she really does not care about the reason; whatever the student needs will be done.

However, the services come with a price.

Prices range and depend on the deadline of the assignment.

“If you call me one hour before your exam is due, I’m probably going to give you a $200[-plus] price for anything,” Mott said.

“If it’s a discussion or something it will be cheaper, but we ask for 24 hours notice.”

Students can email or call the company to get a quote on how much their school work will cost them and also work out a payment plan to pay for the service. Mott said the company does payment plans for all the clients.

Community Chatter “Do you think Kim Kardashian posing fully nude on the cover of Paper Magazine is an act of feminism or an act for attention?”

“I think it’s definitely an act for attention, because if it was feminism, she probably would be covering up her body versus showing it off for more guys to look at it, because that’s what she’s, you know, always wanted.”

“Probably an act for attention. I mean, she has a nice body and maybe she thought the attention’s going to Kanye [West] or her baby.

Maybe she wants some more attention.”

investigator and an assistant professor in the electrical and computer engineering department, said he disagrees with Krunz on the public awareness of Wi-Fi security.

“I think for the most part, people nowadays are way more aware of the security issues associated with wirelessly accessing the internet,” Lazos said.

Lazos said he recalls when it used to be easy to find a free access point, but now, traffic between devices and access points are encrypted. He said he believes this is a step in the right direction when it comes to remedying security risks.

Although Lazos said it is a good sign that users now are more aware of wireless security issues, he agrees with Krunz that work is still needed to secure Wi-Fi. “There’s still quite a few dangers that

users may not be aware of when they use their wireless devices that cannot be addressed by conventional security measures,” Lazos said.

Lazos said that user privacy can often be violated with identifiers transmitted by a user’s phone, which can help someone discover the user’s whereabouts or identity by utilizing the wireless transmission.

Both engineers said they believe that WiFi security is not where it needs to be and have been working together to remedy that.

“Loukas is a great team partner, and we have been collaborating on securityrelated projects for many years,” Krunz said. “Our expertise is complementary, which makes us work effectively.”

The project Krunz and Lazos are currently working on is funded by the National Science Foundation. The project is called “Leakage of Communications Signatures: Analysis of Eavesdropping Attacks and Proactive Countermeasures.”

According to the National Science

Foundation website, the project “focuses on designing and evaluating privacypreserving communication methods for mitigating information leakage due to eavesdropping.”

Krunz and Lazos will receive a total of $660,000 in funding from the NSF for four years, starting October 2014.

“We do not know yet the full range of adversarial attacks and privacy breaches malicious hackers may attempt,” Krunz said. “Nonetheless, we hope to at least make substantial progress in this domain in the four-year timeline of this project.”

Lazos said they are working toward three main directions with their research. First, they are looking for methods to ensure that data exchanged over Wi-Fi remains confidential and is not being exposed to outside parties. Secondly, they hope to devise certain methods to prevent someone from tracking users and to ensure one can’t identify the communications belonging to a specific user. Lastly, they hope to preserve

availability and not let any attacks render Wi-Fi inoperable.

“We hope to complement existing mechanisms for Wi-Fi traffic encryption with so-called physical layer security techniques,” Krunz said.

He said that implementing techniques at both the application and low level is the best of both worlds.

Krunz stressed the importance of securing Wi-Fi since it is used at home, in offices, on campus, in restaurants and coffee shops, and more.

“The convenience of Wi-Fi, and the fact that they offer a free alternative to 3G/4G cellular communications, makes them so popular,” Krunz said, “and yet from a security point of view, opens the door for various privacy vulnerabilities.”

Swift knew Spotify was trouble, not a love story

BY Nick Havey

The Daily Wildcat

T

his week, I’m feeling a little bit like the cake in Taylor Swift’s music video for her new song, “Blank Space.”

She didn’t stab me or anything, but did she remove her music from Spotify, and I am way too lazy to pirate it.

For those who grew up with LimeWire, iTunes, Grooveshark, SoundCloud and YouTube, it’s really confusing to have to buy CDs. Hell, the last time I bought an album, I did it on my phone at 2 a.m. during finals week when Beyoncé dropped her surprise visual album — I didn’t go to the store to pick up the hard copy.

Unfortunately for artists who generate income from selling tangible copies of their albums, everything has changed (Feat. Ed Sheeran).

Swift’s actions may have been fearless, but were they even necessary? I don’t think so. Swift’s move is the first step in waging a war that’s already been lost.

Swift’s motivations for this removal stem, as she explained in a column in the Wall Street Journal, from the low return many artists see from their participation in streaming services like Spotify.

Those streaming services, however, are the future of music.

In a society that is shifting to purchasing things online — look at Amazon.com Inc.’s stock over the last two years — no one wants to drive to Target to buy a CD that they could just listen to on their phone.

According to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, who is naturally perturbed

by Swift’s actions, this move isn’t striking at the core of the problem affecting artists.

“You can’t look at Spotify in isolation,” Ek writes on the company blog. “Even though Taylor can pull her music off Spotify — where we license and pay for every song we’ve ever played — her songs are all over services and sites like YouTube and SoundCloud, where people can listen all they want for free, to say nothing of the fans who will just turn back to pirate services like Grooveshark. And sure enough, if you looked at the top spot on The Pirate Bay last week, there was 1989.”

The era of the physical album is nearly gone, despite physical copies making up half of Swift’s impressive 1.3 million sales of 1989 in its first week. But while Swift understandably feels that profits from music sales are hers rather than any other company’s, that’s a false choice. Especially for artists smaller and poorer than Swift, their choices are limited to two: seeing the profits from their work split amongst others before reaching their own pockets or seeing their work garner no profits at all. The entertainment industry has just been too crippled by pirating.

More people have seen “Game of Thrones” illegally than legally, if that puts it in perspective.

Uber-rich Swift doesn’t have a problem with low return, but upcoming artists do. Her move to ditch Spotify was an attempt at artist activism, but ultimately, it feels like it comes more from entitlement than actual concern.

Small artists who want to be successful in the modern age are going to have to go digital, and when big artists like Adele and Swift pull their music from Spotify, fewer consumers will pay for the subscriptions that subsidize those smaller artists.

Music is a commodity, and the artists creating it have a right to stand behind their work and hold out their hand eagerly waiting for money to be deposited into it. But demand has shifted. People want to update playlists, not add clutter to their cars in the form of a new CD. I’m trying to shake it off, but I just don’t know if this rash artist activism was the right move for Swift, the industry or consumers.

Sorry, Taylor. Your motives are understandable, but this is a little self-important, so come on back to Spotify now. You belong with me.

Instructor has right to wrong ideas

BY Emilee Hoopes The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s been an eventful year in American foreign policy. From Ukraine to Ebola to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the country has become divided on essential questions about the role of the U.S. in the world.

On the issue of ISIS in particular, the political finger-pointing and indecisiveness exhibited by the U.S. government were enough to make Americans fume with frustration. And then, Musa alGharbi came along and blew the top off of it.

Al-Gharbi, an adjunct instructor at the UA and affiliated academic with the Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts, published a column on the website Truthout titled, “How much moral high ground does the U.S. have over ISIS?” In his column, al-Gharbi argued “that the United States is actually a greater threat to peace and stability in the region than ISIS,” and he claimed that the U.S. military is full of soldiers with ties to white supremacist groups or who have committed acts of sexual violence and torture during foreign campaigns.

Perhaps it’s ironic that al-Gharbi is able to make his comments about the U.S. military precisely because of the sacrifices that military has made for him.

It’s also ironic that those who claim the loudest that their free speech is being compromised in modern America — the rightwing media — were the first to try revoking the free-speech rights of al-Gharbi.

Everyone encounters perspectives they disagree with, and for those who live in the U.S., they have the right to express their disagreement. However, just because they disagree does not mean they can simply have someone fired — or, god forbid, deport them, as so many of al-Gharbi’s opponents were proposing.

Aside from the obvious idiocy of that proposal in al-Gharbi’s case — he was born in the U.S; where would he be deported to? — imagine applying that logic every time someone said something deeply offensive. Where would we all be?

POLICE BEAT IT’S A

BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

What a dick move

A student was pushed inside the lobby of Coronado Residence Hall by a non-UA affiliated person on Nov. 8.

A female student told a University of Arizona Police Department officer that she had been waiting for the elevator, and when the elevator arrived, a second woman exited and gave the student an unprovoked push.

The student said the assailant was visiting her boyfriend and was probably upset because she was having physical relations with the assailant’s boyfriend.

The student said the assailant left Coronado without saying anything to the student. She said she did not know why the assailant was in Coronado, as her boyfriend lives in ArizonaSonora Residence Hall.

The officer checked the guest book and saw the assailant had not checked in at Coronado.

The officer went to the boyfriend’s room in Arizona-Sonora and found the assailant inside.

The assailant admitted to pushing the student but said it was out of instinct as she ran into the student while exiting the elevator.

When asked why she pushed the student, the assailant replied, “She sucked my boyfriend’s dick.”

The officer informed her that was no reason to push the student but no charges would be pressed.

The assailant also said she had entered Coronado with friends who lived there and was not asked to check in. The officer advised her not to return to Coronado or she might be arrested for trespassing.

In hot purse-uit

A UA student’s vehicle was broken into on Nov. 8.

The student informed a UAPD officer that her purse had been stolen from the vehicle. She said she had parked in the parking lot for the Homecoming football game and returned around four hours later to find her right rear window broken and her brown leather purse missing.

The student said her purse had not been visible because it was under a laptop, but the laptop was not stolen. She said the purse contained approximately $100 in cash, a Coach purse worth approximately $400, a bottle of perfume worth about $100 and several make-up items worth about $150.

The officer found no damage aside from the broken window.

The laptop was propped up against the back of the passenger seat, and there were a few smudges around the window frame but no discernible fingerprints.

The officer searched the area for the purse and was unable to find it, and the student was given a case number.

printed.

When guard Elliott Pitts was asked during the postgame press conference on Sunday how his defense was improving, Hollis-Jefferson intercepted the question.

“Let me answer that,” HollisJefferson said. “It progressed a lot because he had to guard me.”

Pitts, who played 16 minutes on Sunday and 17 on Friday after averaging 8.4 minutes per game last year, agreed.

“I was going to say that,” Pitts said. “I mean, guarding him and [forward Stanley Johnson] and [guard] Gabe [York] in practice has definitely helped me over the summer.”

Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez remembers the coldest game he ever coached: a West Virginia-Pitt contest in the mid-2000s where the impossible happened.

The rubber pellets in turf that were not supposed to freeze froze, as did the Gatorade drinks on the sideline.

“Thank god we won, or I wouldn’t even talk about it,” Rodriguez said.

The No. 15 Wildcats (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12 Conference) travel to No. 20 Utah (7-3, 4-3) to face a cold players from Arizona aren’t used to.

As of Monday afternoon, the weather forecast for Salt Lake City, Utah, for Saturday is a high of 38, a low of 23, 13 mph wind and a 90 percent chance of rain.

Rodriguez said he was open to any suggestions for how to deal with the snow or even rain.

“We’ll put wet balls out there and have buckets of balls, and you still can’t simulate rain,” Rodriguez said. “To combine the cold with it, we’re just going to tell our players, I’m not going to hide it from them, they know it anyway. They got to be tough mentally and physically.”

When safety Will Parks, who is from Philadelphia, was asked what he is telling teammates about dealing with the cold, he made a joke.

“I just told them, go out there with no sleeves, look real tough and everything will be fine,” Parks said.

Parks said the key to dealing with the cold is to keep running and moving.

“Just go out there and don’t think it’s cold, think it’s Arizona, you know?” Parks said. “It should be fine.”

Kicker Casey Skowron of Phoenix said getting used to the conditions and a frozen or wet ball will be tough.

“It’s going to be tough; I’ve never played in the snow before,” Skowron said. “It’s going to be really cold. I just have to be ready to keep my feet warm and keep the rest of my body warm and get ready to go out there and perform.”

Last week, ASU, No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings, lost 35-27 in the cold of Oregon State.

“I was pretty in tune to the game,” Rodriguez said. “Again, we’re talking about the Pac-12, playing on the road, in a cold

Arizona men’s basketball forward Rondae HollisJefferson has embraced the sixth-man role, again

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

With a team this deep, Arizona men’s basketball was sure to see some players unexpectedly spend time on the bench, but Rondae Hollis-Jefferson? That wasn’t expected.

While the forward scored 14 points and had eight rebounds in 22 minutes in the 86-68 win over Cal State Northridge on Sunday and 15 points and four rebounds in 21 points in the 7855 win over Mount St. Mary’s, he didn’t start either game.

“He was the best player on our team,” UA men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller said. “When he’s in the game, so many good things are

happening. He’s playing with an incredible energy level. He does it on defense and offense.”

Not only did Hollis-Jefferson, who is projected as the 15th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by Draft Express, say that there’s nothing wrong with coming off of the bench, he seemed to embrace the sixth-man role.

“I’m going to have the most energy in the country when it comes to giving it my all,” HollisJefferson said. “Teams need that in a game, and I feel like I bring that spark every time.”

Arizona hockey concludes home stand

BY ZOE WOLKOWITZ

The Daily Wildcat

The No. 16 Arizona Wildcats finished a nine-game home stand this weekend when the Wildcats beat NAU on Friday night and fell to No. 7 Minot State on Saturday night.

Arizona (6-6-3) jumped up the rankings from No. 17 to No. 16 after defeating the ACHA Division II NAU Ice Jacks 4-3 during a shootout Friday.

Freshman Alex Nespor was first to open, scoring within the first two minutes of the game. Nespor’s goal triggered fans to toss unwrapped teddy bears or stuffed animals onto the ice during the Wildcat’s third annual “Teddy Bear Toss.”

Kyle Griffen scored his third goal of the season to tie the game 2-2 with assists from

environment against a team that’s got some talent, and that’s what’s going to happen in our league.”

Solomon’s struggles Quarterback Anu Solomon had arguably the worst game of his career in Saturday’s 27-26 win over Washington, going 17-for39 for 242 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Solomon has been limited by an ankle injury.

“It’s probably been hurting him more than he’s let on,” Rodriguez said. “He’s been getting treatment, and he hasn’t missed a practice; he’s been running around OK, but he’s probably not 100 percent.”

Rodriguez said hopefully Solomon will get healthier this week, and other than calling less designed quarterback runs, it hasn’t affect their play calling.

“Sometimes when you’re being chased by big, mean guys, you can run a little bit faster,” Rodriguez said. “He was running pretty fast when he was getting chased at times, so he’ll be all right.”

captain Shane Gleason and Jake Campbell.

Assisted by his roommate Brett Fagerheim, Nespor scored his second goal of the night to tie the game 3-3 and head into overtime.

“During the power play, Brett had a really nice shot at the point, and I just got a stick on it and put it back in,” Nespor said.

The Ice Jacks outshot the Wildcats 6-4 during overtime, but both teams remained scoreless and were forced to go into a shootout. This was Arizona’s second shootout of the season. There have also been four overtimes.

During the shootout, Arizona starting goalie Garrett Patrick blocked two of the three shots on net from the Ice Jacks.

“It felt great,” Patrick said. “I could stand tall for the boys and get a win. It was a good feeling. I don’t really think too much during

on Arizona’s opportunity and cut Minot State’s lead to 3-1.

Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Arizona could not stay out of the penalty box.

Uncharacteristically, the Wildcats allowed Minot State to go 2-7 during power plays.

“We need to keep our heads and stay out of the box to beat teams like that,” Patrick said. “We didn’t do that tonight and it kind of killed us.”

Arizona will leave the warm Tucson weather to travel to the chilly east coast on Thursday night to play Rutgers University before competing in a two-game series against Drexel University.

Skowron kicked the 47-yard game-winning field goal as time expired on Saturday. Skowron scored 15 of the UA’s 27 points.

He ran for an 18-yard touchdown on a fake field goal, kicked two three-pointers and made three extra points.

On his touchdown run, Skowron had the option to run.

“I was hoping we wouldn’t have to throw it,” Rodriguez said.

“Casey might tell you he can throw it really well, but I’ve seen him throw a little. He’s OK, but he’s not a thrower: He’s a runner.”

When asked to assess his throwing abilities, Skowron said compared to Solomon, he’s about a two, but compared to an average kicker, about a seven.

Florida not interested in Rich Rod ESPN reported Monday that Rodriguez and Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen will not be considered for the Florida head coaching job.

On Sunday, Florida fired head coach Will Muschamp. He had been on the hot seat for much of the season and Rodriguez, who is from the East Coast, was long considered a candidate to replace him.

This made room for Arizona forward Dylan Carter to shoot and score, giving Arizona a 2-0 record during shootouts.

“I just came down and didn’t really know what to expect,” Carter said. “I looked at the top right corner and shot as hard as I could, and, fortunately enough, it went in for me and got a big win for the team and obviously a good time for the fans.”

Saturday night was not so pretty for the Wildcats as Arizona fell to Minot State 5-1.

The Beavers (11-6-1) jumped out to an early start as Dillion Smith and Nick Zern scored to take a 2-0 lead over the Wildcats.

Get ready for ESPN hoops marathon

BY EZRA AMACHER

The Daily Wildcat

For college basketball fans, ESPN’s Tipoff Marathon might as well be a national holiday. Each year, the network chooses the first Tuesday of the season to air nonstop hoops action for 24 hours.

Technically, the games got underway Monday night when women’s basketball powerhouses Connecticut and Stanford faced off. Gonzaga and SMU followed up with a mid-major showdown.

Pac-12 Conference schools Oregon and Colorado also played on the ESPN networks late Monday. The Ducks, picked to finish eighth in the conference, faced Detroit for a 9 p.m. start, while Colorado students stayed up until 11 p.m. to see the Buffaloes take on Auburn.

Even a game ending at 1 a.m. isn’t too bad for college students, but the fun really takes off with the early-morning matchups.

At midnight PDT, 1 a.m. here in Tucson, Saint Mary’s hosted the New Mexico State Aggies in a game that could bolster both team’s NCAA Tournament resumes.

Next up, Hawaii hosted High Point at 3

On Monday, the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced that Hollis-Jefferson, forward Brandon Ashley and Johnson are members of the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top-50.

It’s a top-five match up between two bluebloods and the first test for a Kentucky team predicted by most to win the national title. If Kansas can pull off the upset, it would put an exclamation mark next to another long-yet-exciting Tip-off Marathon and set the college basketball world into early chaos.

Down 72-70 with 24 seconds on the clock, forward LaBrittney Jones got three looks from right under the basket to tie the game but could not convert on any.

Jones finished the game with 14 points and 13 rebounds, good enough for a double-double.

“I was pretty comfortable around the glass, but I have to do a better job of finishing,” Jones said. “I got a lot of offensive rebounds, but I didn’t finish my shots.”

Bakersfield made its free throws in the final seconds and prevented Arizona from possibly taking the game to overtime.

“Tonight, we weren’t disciplined defensively, we weren’t disciplined offensively and we didn’t make plays,” Butts said. “We got the result we got.”

be cited for having underage drinkers in the car. They will only be pulled over, and potentially cited, if they violate a traffic law (e.g. run a stop sign, have a light out, make an illegal turn, etc.).

If the officer suspects alcohol is involved, all occupants will be investigated. Everyone might be asked to take a breath test. If the DD is not impaired, he/she will not get in trouble for transporting underage drinkers. The drunk people might get cited for MIPs or, at minimum, referred to the Dean of Students’ diversion program.

Q What do I do if I get pulled over and I have been drinking?

A. provide your name, driver’s license, proof of insurance, Be honest and cooperate. You are required by law to

Police officers have discretion about what to do in any situation.

Their main objective is to get unsafe drivers off the road. They might call a cab to get you home safely and have you leave your car where they stopped you. Or, they might arrest you.

It slices, it dices, it plays the radio!

Whether or not you perform a breathalyzer or field sobriety test, or even have a blood alcohol level under the legal limit (0.08), you can still be cited for a DUI based on signs, symptoms, and driving behavior. You can be cited for DUI even if impaired to the slightest degree.

Best choice? Use a designated driver or keep a spare $20 for a safe cab ride home.

by Carl Benz in Germany and ran for the first time on New Year’s Eve 1879.

Film student is rising star in humanities

BY KEVIN C. REAGAN The Daily Wildcat

Tyler Vertrees knew from a young age what he wanted to do with his life: Tell stories.

As a high school student in Bisbee, Ariz., the UA student discovered that the format of radio could challenge his storytelling abilities. Depending on words instead of visuals, Vertrees produced a number of programming specials for KBRP Commnity Radio.

The Arizona Humanities Council has recognized Vertrees’ contributions to the community by bestowing its annual Humanities Rising Star award to him on Thursday at the Cutler-Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center in Phoenix. “[The award] symbolizes not only the hard work I’ve done in the past, but how far I’m willing to go in this field,” said Vertrees, a junior studying film and television.

The Humanities Rising Star award is given to students and young professionals who find innovative, creative ways of communicating humanities topics with the public. Vertrees is the second person to receive the annual award for up-and-coming scholars.

According to Julie Gavin, the assistant executive director of the Arizona Humanities Council, Vertrees was chosen in part because of his extensive involvement with The Copper Chronicle, a KBRP radio program archiving narratives about Bisbee history.

BRITTAN BATES/THE DAILY WILDCAT

TYLER VERTREES, a junior studying film and television, works by the Old Main Fountain, where he commonly comes to study and write, on Monday. Vertrees is the recipient of the Arizona Humanities Council’s annual Humanities Rising Star award this year.

“[Vertrees’] was engaged at all levels with that project,” Gavin said. “… Our awards committee was impressed.”

Since leaving Bisbee to attend the UA, Vertrees has routinely returned to help high school students produce historical documentaries for KBRP. “There is a lot we can relate with

each other through our history,” Vertrees said on the purposes of studying humanities topics.

Vertrees used his interest in history to research the classic tropes of 1940s film noir for his radio drama titled “Fallen Angels.”

Taking place in 1920s Los Angeles, Vertrees’ whodunit story earned him the 2014 Best Radio Drama

award from the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System.

Vertrees said he enjoys the challenge of switching formats when writing radio, film and literary prose. The film student tries to write something everyday.

On days when Vertrees has trouble putting words on the page, he resorts to isolating himself in his

room and rejuvenates his creative juices with lots of caffeine.

Though he puts a lot of himself into his stories, Vertrees said his writing is still influenced by studying art and world history.

“Taking philosophies from different countries has opened me up to a new world,” Vertrees said.

An avid admirer of David Lynch and Charlie Kaufman, Vertrees added that he likes experimenting with his writing projects.

Despite his commitment for the art of storytelling, Vertrees said he was genuinely surprised when his mentor, Ryan Bruce, nominated him for the Humanities Rising Star award.

“Tyler is extremely deserving of this recognition,” said Bruce, the KBRP station director. “He is one of those rare people who understands how to take what he is learning and immediately apply it successfully.”

Vertrees credits Bruce with helping him to grow as an artist.

At first timid about unveiling his writing to the public, Vertrees said Bruce encouraged him to be unafraid about sharing his personal thoughts and ideas with other people.

Upon graduating from the UA next year, Vertrees plans to move to Los Angeles and attempt to acheive his dream of becoming a film or television writer.

“It’s hard to believe, but one day we will need to cook for our families with recipes we have learned, so this class is a good way to learn the basics of holiday cooking without getting stressed out,” Katz said.

The Cooking on Campus class is only $5 to attend, a steal for the amount of knowledge taught in the class. For those heading home for the holidays, taking the class can serve as an introductory course

for learning recipes to use in their postcollege lives.
