Sigma Alpha Epsilon is under interim suspension of recognition from the UA and has suspended four members for an alleged assault of Alpha Epsilon Pi members on Friday.

SAE is under interim suspension of recognition for violations of the Student Code of Conduct related to endangering, threats, causing harm and discriminatory activities, according to the Fraternity and Sorority Programs judicial website.

Sgt. Chris Widmer, a public information officer for the Tucson

Police Department, said that “20 or so” members of SAE assaulted four members of AEPi living in an apartment at the Hub At Tucson.

Widmer said a member of SAE had gone back to his house with a black eye, which the member told his friends he had received when some members of AEPi attacked him, prompting SAE’s retaliation.

Widmer said the SAE members went up to the door of the apartment where they believed the members lived. They knocked on the door and began yelling “anti-Jewish” slurs.

AEPi is a fraternity that serves Jewish students on campus.

When they received no response,

the members kicked in the door, Widmer said. The SAE members then went inside and found four males whom they began assaulting, but after one of them realized it was the wrong apartment, they left, but not before one of the SAE members took $20 out of one of the victim’s wallets, Widmer said.

In response to these allegations, the UA has placed SAE under an interim suspension of recognition and has launched its own investigation into the allegations, according to a UANews press release from Kendal Washington White, assistant vice president and dean of students.

According to the press release,

SAE “must cease all activity” on UA’s campus until the investigation is complete. It also stated that an interim suspension of recognition is handed down when that organization could still present a risk to the UA community. In the letter to SAE from Christina Lieberman, associate dean of students, telling them about the investigation and SAE’s interim suspension, she described the ramifications of an interim suspension of recognition.

“Interim Suspension of Recognition prohibits hosting, attending, participating and

Transgender individuals shared their personal experiences at a panel on Tuesday

BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

Transgender individuals opened up about their lives and answered questions regarding their identities on Tuesday evening at the “Ask a Trans Person Anything Panel.”

The panelists shared their stories of when they realized they were transgender in some form.

Jai Smith, a gender queer individual, said they began questioning their identity in college, but at the age of 13, was aware they were homosexual.

“I came out when I was very young … as a young gay male, and I was really transphobic,” Smith said. “It was very much like, ‘I like men so I should be a man.’ Any expression of femininity was something I both picked on and tried to suppress as much as possible in myself, and so as a result, I was on the bullying side.”

Smith continued to say that after arriving at the UA, they began to work on the fact they were transphobic.

Jacqueline Larriva, a gender queer individual, said they were lucky growing up because in their family, they were encouraged to be a tomboy, although when treated as a woman, they felt uncomfortable.

“I think there was a moment where

The UA Graduate and Professional Student Council will participate in the National Association of GraduateProfessional Students’ Call Congress Day today.

Graduate and professional students at the UA will join students from across the nation in calling federal lawmakers about the debt and interest rates postgraduate students are now facing.

The event provides postgraduate students with the chance to directly speak to legislators and share personal stories as well as express their concerns.

According to the GPSC press release, the goal of the campaign is to “urge Members of Congress to stop profiting off students, reunify the undergraduate and graduate

rates to reverse the current inequalities and reinstate the in-school interest subsidy for graduate-professional loans.”

Isoken Adodo, GPSC president’s chief of staff, said the common goal for the phone campaign is to make Congress aware of what graduate students do.

Adodo said that despite

the fact the loan default rate for graduate students is much lower than that of undergraduate students, interest rates for postgraduate students are approximately 1.2 percent higher than those of their undergraduate counterparts.

The Office of the Governor recently selected the UA to receive funding to create the UA Institute for Career Readiness and Engagement, a new addition to the 100 percent Student Engagement Initiative.

In an email, President Ann Weaver Hart said that the 100 percent Student Engagement Initiative was announced a year ago with the promise that every student would have an opportunity to gain real-world and hands-on experience in their chosen field before they graduate.

“I think it’s incredibly exciting that we’ve got a workforce grant from the Office of the Governer and the fact that they’re recognizing our efforts toward 100 percent engagement and

The University of Arizona Alumni Association is working to create more job opportunities for UA alumni through its program “Wildcats Hiring Wildcats.”

Susan Kaleita, Alumni Career Services program director, said the Alumni Association is committed to helping alumni throughout their careers by helping them find jobs and build their networks.

“Part of the overall vision for Alumni Career Services at the [UA] is to create a culture of Wildcats hiring Wildcats and Wildcats helping each other out in their careers to create an alumni network,” Kaleita said.

The program has three parts, which include providing career services and resources to alumni throughout their careers, building relationships with employers, and creating opportunities for alumni who network with each other and the students.

“There are 250,000 [UA] alumni out there,” Kaleita said, “so we can’t personally help all of them, but if we can create a network where they can help each other,

Congress instituted the Budget Control Act in 2011, which eliminated subsidized loans for graduate and professional students. These students who need to take out loans must take out unsubsidized loans that begin accruing interest immediately, as opposed to subsidized loans which do not begin accumulating interest until after the student has graduated.

Currently, undergraduate students are still eligible to receive subsidized loans, but Adodo said some members of Congress are interested in taking away subsidized loans from undergraduates as well. GPSC said it plans to fight this.

Adodo said GPSC has promised to make at least 40 calls to nine state representatives and two senators, but hopes to make many more; the goal is to convince Congress members to reinstate subsidized loans for graduate and professional students and ensure continued availability to undergraduate students as well.

According to documents from the NAGPS Legislative Concerns Committee, the average cumulative debt for a master’s degree is $57,000 and $75,000 for a doctoral degree.

The amount significantly increases to $146,000 for a professional degree, such as a medical or law degree.

“One of the things we have come to realize is, often times, there is a misconception at the federal level when it comes to graduate education,” GPSC President Zachary Brooks said.

“One of our modes of advocacy is to help educate Congress people more on what graduate and professional students do and the necessity of graduate education.”

Documents from the Congressional Budget office show that Congress made a $16.7 billion net profit on new student loans in 2014, and $10.1 billion, or 60.5 percent, of that was from graduate and professional student loans.

whether that’s a Wildcat hiring a fellow Wildcat or a Wildcat just helping each other out in their career.”

Kaleita said they want an alumni network that rivals Ivy League schools and to create a network that alumni and students can rely on anytime in their careers. Kaleita added that they want to get students to come here in the first place because they heard about the great network.

Since the Alumni Association cannot do this alone, it relies on Wildcats helping each other out by hiring them or being career resources.

Kaleita said that doing an information interview with somebody and connecting them to someone in their network or answering questions about their industry contributes to building a stronger alumni network to help students and alumni get jobs.

There are many alumni across the country that have created companies and have chosen to hire Wildcats whenever they can to build the network and make it stronger.

Kaleita added that all of these companies are excited about giving career opportunities to fellow Wildcats.

For example, a company called Sinfonía Healthcare, which is run by UA graduate Fletcher McCusker, is a big industry in Tucson led by a team of Wildcats and has a significant relationship with the UA College of Pharmacy.

Kevin Boesen, the founder and CEO of SinfoníaRx and the founder of the Medication Management Center, said that SinfoníaRx is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinfonía Healthcare, and the Medication Management Center is the forerunner of SinfoníaRx. Doug Hockstad, the director of Technology Transfer, said the Medication Management Center was a grand experiment that was successful in helping people that get multiple prescriptions to understand how those prescriptions interacted, and they trained pharmacy students through this practice.

“It was a training ground for U of A pharmacy students that was unique in the industry,” Hockstad said. “To my knowledge, there is not another university that has done something this big.”

UA pharmacy students will rotate through SinfoníaRx as part of their

it was clear that pronouns made me feel uncomfortable,” Larriva said. “Like my mom would be, ‘This is my daughter,’ and I would be like, ‘Ugh, that makes me feel weird.’ Why can’t you just say, ‘This is my kid, this is my child?’ I like those neutral terms.”

AJ Born, the co-director of ASUA Pride Alliance and an agender individual, said that xe didn’t really start questioning xeir gender until xey got to college. Xe said xey had been decidedly a girl because there was no other option for xem prior to college.

“I questioned my gender for maybe a year-and-a-half before I came out,” Born said. “I originally just came out as not a girl, because I didn’t have the language to say what I was, and it wasn’t until later on when I came across the word agender.”

Jaeline Corona, a transgender female, said that after she was adopted as a child, she had issues with the gender roles being forced on her.

“It was really difficult, because at 9, I didn’t really have the language to negotiate what I was feeling, especially in elementary school when everything is very gendered,” Corona said. “It was when I was 16. I saw pictures of — it was either my friends’ prom pictures or her quinceañera — and it clicked for me. Right then and there, because she was in this dress. It wasn’t so much about her being the center of attention [as] it was me being I wanted to wear that dress and for it to be OK.” Aaron Wilson, a transgender male, said another person’s transition was what made him realize that he was not the gender he had been born as.

“My senior year of high school, I had a friend who started to transition,” Wilson said, “and I kind of got to experience what he was going through from a third-party perspective, and I was like, ‘Wow, that makes a lot of sense.’

The woman I was dating at the time, she was like, ‘Oh, well, why don’t we look into this and try a couple of things out?’ So, I changed pronouns and things like that, and as soon as I did, it felt very natural, and it felt very right.”

Wilson also said he had a rather privileged transition, as he was able to afford the hormone replacement therapy, whereas other transgender individuals may not be able to.

Regarding hormone replacement therapy, Larriva said they had never really considered it or gender reassignment surgery, because it just wasn’t something they felt that they wanted and that they were comfortable with their body.

“When I came to the UA,” Smith said, “I started exploring my gender identity and learning more about community and started getting very involved and started exploring my own challenges.”

November celebrates Native American heritage, education

BY Ariella Noth

The Daily Wildcat

Native American Heritage Month is being widely celebrated throughout the UA campus this November.

The National Congress of American Indians defines the month as “a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people.”

Steven Martin, program director for Native American Student Affairs, said he wanted to bring light to what Native American Heritage Month means, and what it means to be an American Indian on the UA campus and on a larger scale.

“Native American heritage month is a time for us to bring fact, to bring truth and to show others … this is what we are about,” Martin said. “We are doctors, we are lawyers, we are educators.”

American Indian students who come to the UA often try to find a place where they belong, Martin said, and the office of Native American Student Affairs’ job is to help those students transition. One way of doing this is by celebrating Native American Heritage Month on campus.

“What Native American Heritage Month does is it allows our Native students to feel connected to the campus,” Martin said.

“When they see these programs, when we bring people to campus, when we do Native American appreciation night it kind of brings a little relief to our Native students who know they are supported here.”

He also said this month is a time to educate others.

“But then we still have to overcome some challenges, such as the Manifest Destiny piece,” Martin said. “You know, there is still a lack of understanding about what it means to be a Native American, and there is still a lot of education that needs to be had, that has to take place. Native American heritage month provides that opportunity.”

organization hosts events to celebrate Native American Heritage Month, including a homecoming banquet. At this event, the American Indian Alumni Club honors its scholarship recipients, which totaled 43 students this year. They collectively received over $75,000.

Marchand also said a Native American Appreciation Night was put on Tuesday evening in conjunction with Arizona Athletics.

“We’ve negotiated this contract with athletics for the past six years,” Marchand said. “This is the first time UA Athletics is actually doing a Native American heritage night.”

Marchand also said that they take part in the Homecoming parade, during which the students that march choose to carry their individual tribal flags. The American Indian Alumni Club’s scholarship cohort has individuals from 13 tribes.

“Our students actually chose to carry

their own tribal flags, and you like to say Native American Heritage Month honors all Native Americans, but it also honors individual tribes,” Marchand said. “A lot of people see us as one group, but we are many identities within that group.”

Martin said the overall meaning of Native American Heritage Month is to bring awareness to others.

“It’s one month out of the whole year, and it’s nice to have that one month out of the whole year, but I try to get people to understand we’re Native American … every day of our lives,” Martin said. “We don’t need to be forgotten about the other 11 months. There still needs to be an appreciation and a level of respect for who we are on this campus. I don’t want that to ever be forgotten.”

“Why should the drinking age be lowered?”

“I mean, obviously, people are going to take advantage of that, but I think that if people are smart

and realize the consequences of drinking, then it could definitely be lowered. I mean, with all of the 18-year-olds allowed to go to war, 18-year-olds are allowed to do so many other things that drinking.”

— Megan McInerney, business freshman

“I’m kind of torn on it ’cause I understand why it is the way it is, but I also have a lot of friends who joined the army when they were 18, and it’s kind of from the point of view that, ‘Well, I’m old enough to join the army but not old enough to have a drink.’”

“I think it’s fine just where it’s at.

I don’t really see why we need to lower it down. I think we’re all pretty irresponsible enough as it is, and I feel like 21 is definitely a set age that it doesn’t need to be tinkered with at all.”

sponsoring any organizational activities,” Lieberman stated in the letter.

Lieberman also said SAE members are prohibited from having any contact with AEPi members, including phone calls, voice mail, text messages, letters, emails, social media, being in the presence of AEPi members, or touching AEPi’s property or the property of its members.

Lieberman said failure to comply or retaliation of any kind would result in additional Student Code of Conduct investigations.

Lieberman said in the letter that SAE should have scheduled a meeting by Tuesday at 5 p.m.

SAE was already under interim suspension of all activities as it was being investigated for violations of the Student Code of Conduct related to allegations of hosting an unregistered event with alcohol, providing alcohol to minors and hazing levied at SAE in September.

SAE has been listed for policy violations on judicial reports 12 separate times since fall 2006, not including the current allegations, according to the Fraternity and Sorority Programs judicial page.

SAE’s national headquarters said in an email statement that the UA’s SAE chapter leadership has suspended four of their members for “conduct that is inconsistent with our values and expectations for members.”

SAE’s national headquarters has also launched an investigation into the incident and might impose sanctions on the UA chapter as well.

“We teach our members to serve as role models in their communities and to live up to our creed, ‘The True Gentleman,’” the statement read. “If members fail to do so, we will not hesitate to take corrective actions or to impose sanctions, as necessary.”

Brandon Weghorst, associate executive director of communications for SAE’s national headquarters, said in an email that he could not provide further comment beyond the statement, but that “as part of our investigation, Sigma Alpha Epsilon will seek to determine the number of members who may have been involved in the incident.”

The UA Hillel Foundation, a center for Jewish life on campus, released a statement from Michelle Blumenberg, UA Hillel Foundation executive director, and Stephen Caine, UA Hillel Foundation board chair, addressing the incident.

“This is a sad occurrence and one that is very uncommon at the University of Arizona,” the statement read. “UA Hillel is here to foster a safe environment for Jewish students and to create a positive campus climate for all students in partnership with the university. Please be in touch if there is any way that we at Hillel might be of assistance to our students and the community.”

Widmer said the downtown neighborhoods crime department of TPD is still investigating the incident and that no arrests have been made.

educational training.

According to Boesen, SinfoníaRx has call center-based pharmacists along with student pharmacists that help patients who have multiple chronic medical conditions that take multiple medications to better manage their medication.

SinfoníaRx uses a software tool to help manage a large patient population to identify patients most at risk for drug problems.

Kevin Boesen has many pharmacists who work for him that are UA graduates.

“The call center is within the College of Pharmacy,” Boesen said, “but we have 20 pharmacists, 30 pharmacy technicians and 150 student pharmacists that are all employed at the center.”

The top goal of SinfoníaRx is to improve the health of patients with chronic illnesses and promote their health, but another big goal of the company is to stay loyal to the university.

“We want to hire as many people from the university,” Boesen said. “We want to create as many jobs in Tucson as we can. We want to really be a successful business model for the city of Tucson and promote jobs for university graduates.”

in working on this and conceptualizing what it would do,” said Eileen McGarry, executive director of Career Services and Student Engagement at UA. McGarry said the goal of student engagement is for students to get real applied experience through multiple channels. She said one method of increasing student engagement and experience is early career readiness programs, which involve making more resources available for students to find out who they are.

“We want students to engage with their career planning process early,” McGarry said.

Hart said in her email that the UA is working with employers to help students obtain work-related skills and get jobs in Arizona.

“We’re going to be proactive in working with employers to build a talent base that answers their future workforce needs,” Hart said, “and we’re going to give students the skills and experience they need to get jobs right here in Arizona.”

A second way to gain real experience is through internship readiness programs.

According to a UANews press release, students will have access to more resources from the UA Internship Readiness Program through the UA Institute for Career Readiness and Engagement.

“I know as students, sometimes you think it’s going to be easy to get,” McGarry said. “But often, we really need to prepare and get comfortable approaching employers or organizations that have key opportunities that are competitive.”

McGarry also said there is a program that takes students out to employers through tours that they will set up with companies and organizations that want to be spotlighted.

This funding for the institute is going to help Career Services expand a couple programs, McGarry said, and things they already do, by adding a whole different dimension to them. She said the start of this institute also includes a full-time position in the Phoenix market to develop the Maricopa employers for exploration opportunities.

Students can get involved in these programs through Career Services.

“We will certainly be working with all of our college departments to outreach students everywhere,” McGarry said, “but Career Services is going to the be the hub of the activities.”

McGarry said they are still in the planning process, and there will be more information on staffing and opportunities in spring 2015. “[The] UA will be able to pursue a unique approach to connecting students with future careers,” Hart said.

Jerks: You do not have right to a platform

BY TOM JOHNSON

The Daily Wildcat

B

ill Maher, smarm-meister and overall unpleasant person, is back in the news cycle yet again with University of California, Berkeley’s, students rallying against his invitation to speak on their campus. The Berkeley students feel that Maher’s “bigoted and racist” beliefs — as the Change.org petition classifies them — should disqualify him from being given a platform on their esteemed campus.

A few, most notably David Frum of The Atlantic, think that this shouting down of someone with anti-Islam beliefs and who’s a supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — not to mention a general major-league asshole — represents a deep and dire threat to free speech.

First off, censorship by the state is completely wrong. Jackbooted SWAT-team thugs should not be able to beat down someone’s door because some Republican legislator doesn’t want them looking at “the hentai” or “the scary movies” again.

This does not mean everyone should automatically have their opinions given a platform. The public debate is like a public pool, and like a pool, there’s always going to be one asshole who takes a giant steaming dump in it, and we should not let those people into the damn pool.

But time and again, the media has failed to do this, falling prey to the idea that both sides need to be given equal time. On issues from climate change to vaccine denialism, this strategy has succeeded in changing the window of reasonable debate toward crazy by successfully legitimizing the crazy.

Listening to all the GamerGate nonsense, one realizes that there’s a growing belief that all offensive speech should not only be allowed but also not criticized, and speakers should not be told to think about the repercussions of what they say based on a similar principle.

But there’s a world of difference between offending people because it undermines their vile grasp on societal power — like white people and right-wing fundamentalists — and offending those who are stomped on by the establishment and who take offense from words that remind them of the traumas they’ve experienced.

Frum and those like him often argue that delineating speech in this way stifles creativity, but, from a scientific standpoint, that is bullshit. A Cornell University study showed that mixed-gender groups told to be more politically correct actually came up with more ideas than ones that weren’t, because — surprise, surprise — people engage and empathize better with others when they’re not being exclusionary.

That doesn’t mean taking away platforms for people we don’t like.

However, both the media and media consumers should be more critical about who receives a megaphone.

They should look at those people are railing against, whether their venom is reserved for the discriminated and disempowered rather than the brutes and bullies in power and whether their arguments rest on lies and fallacies rather than facts and logic. And if they’re pulling for crazy, they shouldn’t be given the license to distort debate.

Because, when those people are given a microphone, or even just not prevented from using one, their ideas are implicitly given weight and permission.

So please, folks at Berkeley, understand that you do not need to give Supreme Douchelord Bill Maher a platform to be seen as promoting “free speech.” And if he doesn’t like it, he can still whine about it on his nationally broadcast cable show.

Hyland provides opportunity for learning about domestic abuse

BY PAUL THOMSON The Daily Wildcat

C

elebrities are rich, famous and influential. They set trends, dole out their “seals of approval” and curate personas that are larger than life. They’re also people.

Actress Sarah Hyland, who played Haley Dunphy, the oldest sibling of the Dunphy family on the TV series “Modern Family,” has recently come out as a former victim of domestic violence/ relationship abuse. Using “The Meredith Vieria Show” as a platform, Hyland discussed her recent break up with actor Matt Prokop, with whom she had been in a relationship for five years.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hyland received a temporary restraining order against Prokop last month after he assaulted and threatened her, ending their five-year relationship and removing herself from the home they had shared for the last three years.

What Hyland’s decisions demonstrate is a renewed sense of self-preservation and protection as she grows up before the American public.

Her decision to leave is vitally courageous. Her decision to file a restraining order is inspiring and important. However, it is Hyland’s decision to “come out” about the entire event that teaches the most important lesson — one that only she can teach.

When Haley Dunphy first appeared on “Modern Family,” she was a 15-year-old sophomore in high school. Now, five years later, the public has watched her grow up in front of our eyes. Because of her status as a nuanced, complicated “American sweetheart,” Hyland’s decision to speak openly about her choices regarding domestic abuse is critical. Though she may not be an Everywoman, she is certainly an Every-daughter, and her experience with relationship abuse is one shared by an obscene number of women throughout the country.

In fact, while speaking on “The Meredith Vieria Show,” host Vieria touched on her own

experiences with domestic violence at a young age. She said, “I related to your story, because I was exactly your age, 23, when I went through something similar,” and later added, “I don’t talk about it a lot, but I did it because in part I wanted people to know that you’re not alone, which is important, and that you can come through adversity and be stronger on the other side. That’s possible.”

The Oasis Program, through Campus Health Service, is a program committed to the safety and rehabilitation of UA students, faculty and staff who “are impacted by sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking.” Among other programs, it provides violence prevention services that deal with situations such as Hyland’s for universityaffiliated people of all genders.

Megan McKendry is the resident Violence Prevention Specialist for Oasis. As someone who encounters relationship violence regularly, she commented on the importance of Hyland’s bravery during this time.

“Relationship violence can be a stigmatizing and isolating experience,” she said, “and

— BigSticksWalkSoftly You kids sound like badasses. I wish you all the best. Much respect.

— Chris Hugh In response to “For-profit colleges shouldn’t be funded,” by Elizabeth Hannah (Nov. 17) Institutional racism is not the answer to excessive tuition and fees and poor student outcomes. Either apply the rule to degree programs and non-degree programs at all institutions of higher education or not at all.

A very large number of graduates at nonprofit colleges have very poor outcomes.

— Joe “While for-profit colleges claim to act in the best interest of their students, there clearly exists a conflict of interest between their mission to educate and their mission to profit.”

It’s more than a “conflict of interest.” It is an irreconcilable incompatibility. The public good and the profit motive do not and cannot mix. Anything you do to maximize one harms the other and vice versa. Corporations will ALWAYS go for maximum profits. (They have to!) So, education is always harmed.

This is not rocket science. It’s obvious.

Wow, Issac, the ASUA president just completely threw both the undergraduate and graduate population under the bus with this one. Why on God’s green earth would you support increasing the cost of education here, which is already barely affordable?

— Joe This fee is outrageous. If anything, students should get a refund back if the class is fully online because classroom space is not required, thus saving on utility and maintenance costs. Online classes also save paper because homework and tests are distributed online.

— Lisa Let’s break down what this will be used for: “Tutoring”: Professors have office hours (even with online classes). No need for extra tutoring, and if you need it, each student individually can deal with it themselves.

“Advising”: I have an adviser, so what is this going to do for academic advising? Reduce wait times? Hire more advisors? Doubt it.

“Tech support”: We already have 24/7 support with UITS. Are they going to hire more people? I know people who work for UITS, and most of their calls have nothing to do with an online class. Not necessary.

“Enhanced electronic learning tools”: And what tools are these? What “portal” are we talking about? We have D2L and Google — what else do we need?

This change was made by UA officials. Why isn’t our student government up in arms and instead is supporting this fee when we do not even know what it is going to be used for?

—UA Student

yet thousands of people are subjected to some form of abuse by an intimate partner every year.

Sarah Hyland’s decision to share her story is a powerful one. She’s helping to counteract the stigma and let survivors know they’re not alone, while also reminding the public that relationship abuse is an alarmingly common phenomenon that demands our urgent attention.”

McKendry is spot on. Because Hyland is a popular figure in our society, her decisions not only affect her and those closest to her, but also an entire generation of young women who, unfortunately, may reach a point in which they are forced to deal with similar abuse.

Julie Bowen, who plays Hyland’s mother on “Modern Family,” recently spoke out about helping Hyland “peacefully end the relationship.” And this is the kind of feminism we need: women helping women to improve the status of women.

Let me get this straight. We need an additional $50 online fee per course, even though the school collects over $5.6 million from the existing technology fee?

That conservative estimate comes from an enrollment of approximately 40,000 students paying $139.20 (a 54 percent share of the existing library and technology fee) to those folks. …

And help me understand how this fee is expected to do all sorts of magical rainbow goodness for instruction when the following systemic problems occur: (1) persistent Wi-Fi drop zones, stalling and failed connections across main campus; (2) sluggish D2L course architecture, featuring clunky navigation and rendering failures across web browsers, which still requires frequent maintenance; (3) a UITS department that can’t handle D2L problems so well; (4) computing facilities that can’t touch hardware at all unless you buy Macs at the Apple Store (hey, iCourse!); on top of (5) a pointless UA home page that brags about what we do but can’t get you the information you need searching within it.

Either Issac Ortega is stupefyingly naive or drunk off of administrative Kool-Aid or both, but let’s not overlook the key problem.

Even IF the school spent every dollar making online education into the functional equivalent of Final Fantasy XIV, how on earth is that going to work for the instructors who actually teach these courses? New software and online platforms require training time.

Course materials may need to be converted into new file types or adapted into new services. Accounts must be made. Audio, video and multimedia don’t come out of the box ready to go. And who exactly is going to have the time to do ALL this stuff and more?

Let’s call it what it is: Somebody, somewhere, blew a big hole in the UA budget, and they’re desperate to fill it. Your online courses aren’t changing one jot. Sorry, suckers.

Police Beat BY ariella noth

The Daily Wildcat

Getting high-ly crafty

A resident of Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia on Nov. 8.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to Apache-Santa Cruz in reference to a smell of marijuana in one of the hallways. A resident assistant escorted the officers to the second floor where they were able to detect the smell from a room.

They knocked on the door and made contact with a man who said he lived in the room. He allowed the officers in. One officer noticed a towel that the room’s residents had placed at the bottom of the door.

The scent of marijuana was much stronger upon entering the room. There were six individuals, and they all identified themselves with driver’s licenses.

The officers explained they were there because of the smell of marijuana.

The officers asked the resident if he had any marijuana or paraphernalia in the room. He said he did. He pulled out a red water jug and said he kept the marijuana in there to keep the room from smelling.

He also handed the officers a pair of scissors he said he used as a grinder to cut the marijuana. He also handed them an opened pack of rolling papers.

Two of the six individuals showed signs or symptoms of marijuana use and both admitted to smoking. However, the resident said the marijuana belonged to him.

IT’S A GREAT BIG UNIVERSE OUT THERE.

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking on Nov. 8.

A UAPD officer was dispatched to the Babcock Residence Hall around 4 p.m. in reference to the report of an unresponsive man.

The officer was flagged down by three people who informed him the man he was looking for was on the second level of the D building. When the officer got to the second level of the D building, he observed a man lying on the ground with a cellphone in his hand.

The man was breathing and had a pulse, but he did not respond when the officer yelled at him or tapped his foot. At this time, Tucson Fire Department arrived and woke him up.

The man told TFD he had been drinking and got tired, so he took a nap but that he was fine now. TFD medically cleared him.

The officer then spoke with the man. His eyes were watery and bloodshot, and the officer could noitced a strong smell of intoxicants from his mouth when he spoke. His speech was also slurred.

The man told the officer, “I’m not going to lie. Yeah, I’ve had a little bit to drink today.”

Another officer asked him why he was at Babcock. He said, “This is where the sophomores hang out. I’m not a freshman anymore.”

He proceeded to tell both officers that he did not know anyone at Babcock, and he went to the second level because “that’s where the cops are.”

One officer informed him that he was there before any police officers got there and then explained the diversion program to the man.

Cats welcome Anteaters

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

In what Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller said will be one of the toughest tests of the season in McKale Center, the UC Irvine Anteaters (2-0) are coming to town. Fresh off back-to-back wins, the Anteaters face Arizona in the Wildcats’ final game before heading to Hawaii for the EA Sports Maui Invitational.

“In my opinion, we’ll be playing one of the best teams that we’ll play in McKale all season,” Miller said. “[UC] Irvine has all of the makings of a tournament team, a team that win in the tournament. They have a [7-foot-6] center, great coach, [they’re] very organized on offense, very organized on defense. We’re going to jump up significantly in terms of the level of competition that we’re going to face.”

The Wildcats (2-0) also won their first two games of the season, with each victory coming by at least 18 points. Despite the high margin of victory, Arizona has struggled in the first 15 minutes of each game, scoring just 23 points against Mount St. Mary’s and 25 points against Cal State Northridge in that span.

Additionally, Arizona is lights out in the last five minutes of the first half, scoring 17 points against Mount St. Mary’s and 12 points against CSUN in that span. Against Mount St. Mary’s, the Wildcats started the game 5-20 from the field for a paltry 25 percent from the field.

That discrepancy is large enough to have the attention of Miller and his staff, something he touched on after the Mount St. Mary’s win.

“We played well in stretches as a team,” Miller said. “There were times where we didn’t, which was expected.”

The Anteaters have five players averaging over eight points per game this season, including a pair of players near 12 points per game.

UC Irvine returns everyone but two players from last year’s team.

Leading the team in minutes played, points scored and 3-pointers made is guard Luke Nelson. However, Nelson is not nearly the most notable Anteater.

That distinction is tied between the Anteaters’ twin towers: 7-foot-2 Ioannis Dimakopolous and 7-foot6 Mamadou Ndiaye.

Having one 7-footer is usually enough to change an offensive game plan, but with two, that requires coaches to completely build the game plan around them.

Luckily for the Wildcats, there’s a pair of 7-footers on their squad, too.

While Kaleb Tarczewski and Dusan Ristic may be just 7-feet tall each, the UA duo has the kind of skill that Dimakopolous and Ndiaye simply don’t have.

Tarczewski is one of the better defensive centers in the entire country, something that Miller has spoken on at length, and Ristic has the offensive skill set to make even Tarczewski look bad, something which he did at length during the

GymCats freshman trio learns ropes from elders

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

Building on an already stacked Arizona women’s gymnastics team is difficult, but freshmen Madison Cindric, Victoria Ortiz and Kennady Schneider bring a new perspective to the table, and UA coaches are confident in the progress they have made thus far.

“They are very diverse and very different, all three of them, but I think that is a good mix,” Arizona assistant coach Meredith Paulicivic said.

“From their gymnastics, personalities to their clothing styles, they are about as different as you can get, but I think that is a good thing. They bring a lot of good balance to the program in a lot of different areas.”

Freshmen students generally struggle to maintain a balance between academics and extracurricular activities.

When you add being an NCAA Division I athlete, it can be quite a challenging transition, some of which is easier for others.

“I was expecting [the transition] to be more difficult,” Ortiz said.

REBECCA MARIE SASNETT/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA WOMEN’S gymnastics freshman Victoria Ortiz practices on the bars during practice on Tuesday in the Mary Roby Gymnastics Training Center. The GymCats have added three freshmen to compete this upcoming season, making an already stacked team even more formidable.

“Just the amount of encouragement is really helpful, and [the coaches] always make sure we are on top of stuff, and if we are struggling, they make sure we get the help we need. So, it hasn’t been that hard of a transition.”

Cindric grew up in

Newark, Del., and said she hasn’t been inside a classroom since the fourth grade because she was home-schooled.

“It was hard for me because I was homeschooled in high school, so it is a big change with school,” Cindric said.

“Gym-wise it is just so different, because in club, you are just by yourself, and here, you have this whole support system around you, and you are all going toward the same goal.”

Paulicivic recognized how difficult the transition can be, especially because she is new to the Arizona program as well. In years past, Paulicivic coached at the club level for 17 years and produced several elite level athletes, so she understands the process.

“Being the female coach, [it’s important] just trying every now and then to pull out the mother card and go, ‘How’s it going?’” Paulicivic said.

“For us to get the most out of them, we have to stay involved in their lives to make sure that transition is going well.”

All three freshmen were highly qualified to be a part of the GymCats due to their competitive natures. In 2013 alone, Cindric was a member of the Junior Olympic team and placed third in the all around at the Junior Olympic Nationals.

Turnovers harm women’s hoops

ate in the second half of Arizona women’s basketball’s 76-72 loss to Cal State Bakersfield, as the Wildcats were in the midst of a 14-0 scoring run, the team coughed up two costly turnovers. What could have been a pair of game-altering possessions turned into easy fast breaks for the Roadrunners.

All Arizona head coach Niya Butts could do was slam her hands on press row, relinquishing her frustration at the Wildcats’ inability to play fundamental basketball.

“We didn’t play well offensively, we didn’t make our shots, we didn’t execute,” UA point guard Candice Warthen said.

Over the course of a game, it’s often the little things, such as an ill-timed turnover or a missed putback that add up and determine the outcome. On Monday, the Wildcats made far too many of those mistakes.

“When you don’t take care of the basketball and you’re not making your field goals when you get them,” Butts said, “you’re going to have a rough night.”

The errors in the second half were accentuated in part because of the hole the UA dug itself in during the first half, when the team committed

PAC-12 POWER RANKINGS WEEK 12

Chaos in Pac-12 South division With several significant matchups in the Pac-12 Conference this week, both North and South Division teams have a lot at stake as the season winds down

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

North 1 No. 3 Oregon (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12

Conference) Having clinched the Pac-12 North in early November, the Ducks are just trying to maintain that playoff spot.

Before the championship game, they have basement teams: Colorado and Oregon State.

Last week: First, Bye This week: Saturday vs. Colorado (2-8, 0-7)

2 Washington (6-5, 2-5)

Once again we have to put a team in the second-place slot. I guess the Huskies had the most respectable loss between UW, Stanford and California, but that 2-5 Pac-12 record is brutal.

Last week: Third, L at Arizona 27-26 This week: Saturday vs. Oregon State (5-5, 2-5)

3 Stanford (5-5, 3-4)

Another week, another flip-flop between the Cardinal and Huskies.

This week, Stanford gets a chance to drop even further when it visits Cal

for the “Big Game.” Very creative, but at least it’s better than Harvard and Yale’s “The Game.”

Last week: Second, L vs. Utah 20-17 2OT This week: Saturday at California (5-5, 3-5)

4 California (5-5, 3-5)

The Golden Bears made their trip to Troy close with a couple of late touchdowns but lost their 11th-ina-row to USC. This week, they get a second shot at bowl eligibility and a chance to reclaim the Stanford Axe by chopping down the Cardinal.

Last week: Fourth, L at USC 38-30 This week: Saturday vs. Stanford (5-5, 3-4)

5 Oregon State (5-5, 2-5)

The Beavers pulled the shocker on the Sun Devils, who were No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings last week. This set off a chain reaction in the South standings, but more importantly, allowed me to put shocker and Beavers in the same blurb.

HOT & NOT

POWER RANKINGS FROM PAGE 7

6 Washington State (3-7, 2-5)

Poor Washington State; it finally escapes the cellar by beating the Beavers, but then OSU beat ASU, sending WSU back to the bottom. The Cougars have the distinction of being last in our football and basketball power rankings. Ouch.

Last week: Sixth, Bye This week: Saturday at No. 13 ASU (8-2, 5-2)

South 1 No. 11 UCLA (8-2, 5-2)

Fun fact: the Pac-12 South has more ranked teams then even the much-loved (and seven-team) SEC West. The Bruins are in the driver’s seat and just need to win out to set up a rematch with Oregon for all the marbles.

Last week: Second, Bye This week: Saturday vs. No. 24 USC (7-3, 6-2)

2 No. 24 USC (7-3, 6-2)

The Trojans still need help to take the division, but they got a big boost when ASU somehow lost to OSU, which had lost to WSU the week before. The Men of Troy take home the title if they win the “Crosstown Rivalry Game” (a much better name than Stanford and Cal came up with) and the Sun Devils lose to the Cougars or their archrivals.

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

It was another rough weekend for Arizona hockey.

The Wildcats needed a shoot-out to beat Division II NAU on Teddy Bear Toss Night and lost 5-1 to No. 7 Minot State.

Arizona women’s basketball opened the season with a 76-72 loss to Cal State Bakersfield. The Wildcats haven’t won a game since Feb. 9.

Arizona men’s swimming and diving lost 182-118 at USC on Saturday. The defeat dropped the Wildcats to 1-3 on the season.

The NFL suspended Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, without pay, for the remainder of the season. Peterson allegedly beat his 4-year-old son with a piece of wood.

Arizona women’s swimming and diving (6-0) remained undefeated with a 172-128 win at USC last week.

On Tuesday, USA Swimming announced that UA head coach Rick DeMont will serve as an assistant coach for the 2015 World Championships for the Americans.

Arizona women’s soccer opened the NCAA tournament by beating Oklahoma State 1-0 last week on the road in 30-degree temperatures. It was only the third win ever for the Wildcats in the Big Dance.

Arizona football beat Washington 27-26 on Saturday to reach eight wins. The last time the Wildcats won eight wins in a row was 1973 to 1975 under College Football Hall of Fame coach Jim Young.

Arizona volleyball swept its series against the Oregon schools last week. The Wildcats beat the Beavers and No. 10 Ducks 3-1.

3 No. 13 ASU (8-2, 5-2)

Not only did the Sun Devils’ playoff hopes die of frostbite up in the cold of Oregon State, they actually gave the North something to brag about in the interdivision rivalry. The North is now 7-14 against their Southern masters, and ASU needs UCLA to lose to win the division.

Last week: First, L at Oregon State 35-27 This week: Saturday vs. Washington State (3-7, 2-5)

4 No. 15 Arizona (8-2, 5-2)

After an uninspiring loss at UCLA, a win over cupcake Colorado and a very close win over Washington, the Wildcats are 8-2, but will they be held to eight regular season wins? To win the South, the UA needs to win out and see UCLA lose to USC and Stanford.

“I hope it’s loud and clear,” Butts said, “you cannot expect to go out and win and be successful when you don’t do things the right way.”

While Butts could have been referring to the game alone, she expanded her message to the team’s attitude in practice and off the court.

“Our focus wasn’t there,” Butts said.

“Our focus hasn’t been there the last five days of practice. When you do that and when you get on the court and the lights come on, you just can’t turn it on.”

With a full, healthy roster, Arizona is no longer handicapped by depth the way it was last season. The issue now is getting

In a season opener against an inferior opponent, there are few excuses for why the Wildcats should have come out of the locker room so unprepared. Maybe if Arizona wasn’t coming off a pitiful five-win season, there wouldn’t be such urgency after a single loss. After all, the Wildcats battled back and did have a chance to win the game in the late-going.

However, Arizona had already plagued itself before the game even started. A handful of players sat out for disciplinary

“That’s something that we’ve lacked in the past,” Warthen said. “Not only me but everybody; we need to make sure we’re having good practices. Being a leader, I know that I need to speak up, but I feel that everybody needs to be on the same page.”

The Wildcats can’t afford to get stuck on one loss, especially with a road game against Texas Tech coming up, followed by a Thanksgiving tournament in Florida.

“The good news is, it’s game one,” Butts said. “We’ve got a lot of games we’ve got left to play.”

When the three first showed up to practice, they said they were intimidated by the gymnasts that many of them had looked up to most of their lives as role models.

Eventually, the upperclassmen welcomed them with open arms.

“When you are younger you look up to them so much and you want to be like them, and being on the same team as them was also intimidating at first, but, honestly, they have welcomed us as equals.”

Making a movie in one week

BY VICTORIA PEREIRA The Daily Wildcat

M

aking a short film can be a long and complicated process, but the world’s largest student film and music festival, Campus MovieFest, challenges college students to produce an entire short film in just one week.

After attending the launch of the festival and being informed of the rules last Wednesday, UA student filmmakers hit the ground running and began developing their films. One of these students was film and television junior Matthew Ramirez.

After competing in CMF last year, Ramirez wanted to try his hand at the challenge again and began developing an idea for a zombie movie.

However, by the second day of the competition, Ramirez encountered what was almost a fatal problem in the making of his film. In the script for his original zombiethemed short, there were three parts, one of which had to be played by a young girl. The girl cast as the character informed Ramirez on Thursday that she would be unable to participate in the film. At the same time, Ramirez was having difficulty finding crew members to assist in production. Juan Ruiz, his high school friend and a fellow film and television junior, had begun working with him as a sound designer, but he still needed actors.

“The one-week time frame for CMF isn’t really a big deal,” Ramirez said, “but the fact that there’s so much other stuff that we have to deal with for other classes.”

It was clear that if they wanted to compete in CMF, Ramirez and Ruiz would have to come up with a new idea. Within a day, Ramirez penned a new story, “Edge,” created a complete storyboard for the film and coordinated shooting for the following day.

“This is a film about a man whose life has led him to abandon all hope,” Ramirez said, “so his only way out, he feels, is to kill himself.”

Right when the man is about to plunge himself off a cliff, a hiker comes along to talk him down from the ledge. Informing him of life’s wonderful beauty, the hiker convinces the man not to jump. Before the man gets a chance to thank the random hiker, he mysteriously disappears.

In order to bring this short film to fruition, Ramirez elicited the help of senior film and television students Gabe Oropeza and Tad Sallee to play the main characters.

During their day of filming, the fourman crew travelled up to Mount Lemmon to a spot they had previously scouted. A cliff overlooking the shorter parts of the mountain and valleys below provided a breathtaking backdrop, and the midday lighting shone perfectly on the area. It took the team a little under five hours to shoot the less-than-five-minute film, ensuring every shot was exactly what Ramirez pictured it to be and each line was delivered in just the right way.

They encountered some problems while filming, including noise pollution from nearby campers and exceptionally chilly weather. But, overall, the day was a success, and Ramirez was able to begin postproduction later that day.

Midday on Sunday, Ramirez and Ruiz travelled back up the mountain in order to collect some finishing touches. The two spent about an hour collecting authentic sound from the location and getting shots hanging over the cliff face.

“It’s for the shot,” Ramirez said jokingly after being warned to be careful overlooking the gigantic drop. No detail was too small; Ramirez and Ruiz took countless recordings of shoes sliding on different parts of the cliff

in order to recreate the sound of the man almost falling off the cliff.

There are multiple awards given at the final CMF screening on Thursday, and each winner gets the chance to compete at the CMF Hollywood festival in June. Ramirez and Ruiz are trying to make “Edge” one of the selected shorts.

Ramirez finished the rough cut of the film late Sunday night and spent Monday putting on the finishing touches. The films were to be submitted on Tuesday, and the winners will be chosen today by the CMF judges.

No one, including the contestants, will find

out which films won until Thursday night’s finale in the Student Union Memorial Center’s South Ballroom at 7:30 p.m., which is open to non-contestants as well.

“When you’re making a film, you should really make it relatable, because you really want your audience to engage with the story,” Ramirez said. “I feel like I’m doing this very well with this film, but it’s still a competition, so it’s anybody’s game.”

maturity, Rossi generalizes most public universities as descending into profit-hungry corporations eager to commit students to a lifetime of debt. With the evidence Rossi supplies, his argument is disturbingly valid.

It may seem there is no reason to hope with the way Rossi characterizes higher education, yet in the final hour, he presents community college as the saving grace for society. Presumed as a second-class, poor man’s education, the innovative changes community colleges are making in class structure and online resources rival their morerenowned counterparts.

With its images of students ambushing college offices and public protests outside the White House, “Ivory Tower” is a perhaps a harbinger for greater grumblings accumulating among milllenials.

Rossi makes apparent that college is not worth what it used to be, and, therefore, something will inevitably have to change. The question is who will make the first play in this high-stakes chess game.

Bisbee was transformed from a haunted desert city into a lively local music showcase over the weekend. The third annual Sidepony Express is a three-day music festival bringing over 80 bands from around the state to play 16 venues in this historic area.

Every bar and cafe, and even nontraditional locales such as hotel lobbies, became stages for musicians of all genres. Though it may have seemed like an unusual spot for a music festival, Bisbee was an ideal hub for this free, allages event. The town already has an undoubtedly unique vibe due to its rich mining history and 19thcentury architecture. The presence of current bands bringing in a modern sound created a perfect harmony of old and new culture.

Bisbee residents are primarily artists, which made for an extremely eclectic crowd throughout the weekend. The city is also known for its haunted nature, but instead of ghosts wandering the streets, it was the sound of live music echoing into the early morning.

All the bands I was able to catch this weekend were undeniably talented. However, there were a few in particular I found to be especially noteworthy. The event’s host band, Treasurefruit, is a threepiece from Phoenix with a lead vocalist that will melt your face off.

reminiscent of Shannon Shaw from Shannon and the Clams, but with a more soulful and sultry attitude.

Freeze Ray Vision, a newly formed Phoenix group, should definitely be on your local-artiststo-watch list. Their set ranged from downtempo, hypnotic arrangements to a banging upbeat cover of “Sunny Afternoon” by The Kinks, which was certainly a crowd favorite. One member of the audience even noted that Freeze Ray Visions’ drummer was reminiscent of the famed jazz percussionist, Steve Gadd.

I was also able to catch some of The Hill In Mind’s set in the tiny lobby of The Silver King hotel, home of Arizona’s smallest bar.

These indie rockers filled the room with beautiful, atmospheric melodies, and I was impressed with their musicality and thoughtprovoking compositions. Another Phoenix band by the name of The Woodworks headlined the first night of the festival. They’re a little bit rock ’n’ roll, a little bit funk, a tiny bit trash and a whole lot of fun.

They do a cover of Prodigy’s “Take My Picture” that will blow your socks off.

This music festival was a refreshingly original spin on local music festivals. If you missed out on the event, be sure to check out its website or like it on Facebook to stay updated for next year.
