Former pledge sues Sigma Chi for defamation

BY JESSICA SURIANO @suriano_jessica

A former pledge member is suing the Beta Phi chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity on campus for false defamation.

According to the lawsuit, the fraternity chapter was placed on probation by the UA from Oct. 29, 2014, to Dec. 21, 2015, prohibiting the fraternity “from hosting, attending or participating in any organizational events.”

The former pledge member and plaintiff, Tyler Alev, said the fraternity hosted an off-campus party for its new members and the new members of the Alpha Phi sorority on Oct. 7, 2015.

One of Alpha Phi’s new sorority members, an underage female, became intoxicated by alcohol and cocaine and was later hospitalized.

Alev alleged he had no contact with the sorority’s new member, but active members of the fraternity “agreed or conspired to blame the plaintiff for the drug intoxication of the sorority

Trump economics make AZ's fiscal future unclear

BY NATE AIRULLA @nateairulla

When President-elect Donald Trump claimed the White House in a surprising upset on Nov. 8, many people began to wonder what a Trump presidency might mean for both the U.S. and Arizona economies.

“We are going to make America wealthy again,” Trump said in Bismarck, North Dakota.

“You have to be wealthy in order to be great.”

During his campaign, Trump struggled to raise money in the same way his rival Hillary Clinton did. According to the Washington Post, Trump raised about $795 million as of Oct. 19, while Clinton managed to raise $1.3 billion.

Pre-business student Reece Johnson said he thinks it’s impressive that Trump won the election with less money than Clinton.

“Trump’s campaign managers spent their money conservatively and effectively in accordance with their campaign strategy,” Johnson said. “It was multiple times more effective in gaining voters’ support than Clinton’s campaign.”

When the nation began to realize Trump had a good chance of winning throughout election night, the stock market began to decline. Prices fell several percentage points as it became clearer Trump would take the White House.

UA economics professor Dirk Mateer said this is because the stock market is afraid of what they can’t predict.

“Stock markets fell initially because they were pricing in a Clinton victory,” Mateer said.

“It wasn’t clear who was going to win, and anytime there’s uncertainty in the marketplace, the market tends to react badly to not having good information.”

Despite the initial decline, in the days following the election, the stock market soared to record highs. According to USA Today, the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 3 percent in four days following Trump’s win, exceeding the average 1.4 percent year-end stock market growth following an election.

“The market quickly bounced back because

they’re pricing for a Trump presidency—they’re pricing in for policies that’d be pro-growth here in the short term,” Mateer said.

Mateer said the reason Mexico experienced dramatic drops in the peso—from 5.4 to 5 cents American on election—was because of uncertainty. Mexico doesn’t know exactly how a Trump presidency will affect them, and uncertainty devalues their dollar. One of Trump’s biggest campaign talking points was building a wall to rein in illegal immigration. Trump blamed illegal workers for stealing jobs from hardworking, middle-class Americans.

Curt Prendergast, a reporter from the Arizona Daily Star, has spent years covering the U.S.-Mexico border and feels some of Trump’s policies may not be good for Southern Arizona’s economy.

Prendergast speculates if Trump builds the wall, there’s a good chance the money spent on

the wall will go to far-away big business.

“The big dollars go to the big companies,” Prendergast said. “If Donald Trump does give a big contract to build a wall, more than likely it will be based in L.A., New York or Chicago.

You’d have good-paying jobs, but they wouldn’t be local.”

Stricter border control could bring a number of well-paid, government-employed Border Patrol agents to Southern Arizona, but according to Prendergast, the government already spends billions of dollars each year to protect the border.

“Those are decent-paying jobs and those people could work down here and live somewhere else,” Prendergast said. “So places like Tucson would get more residents with goodpaying jobs and that could dump a bunch of money into Arizona.”

Trump, in his first interview since the election with "60 Minutes," said he plans on deporting

2-3 million people who live in the U.S. illegally.

Mateer doesn’t think that’d make a significant difference for Southern Arizona.

“When you look at illegal immigrants, they do the dirty jobs that people in this country aren’t willing to do,” Mateer said. “The fact that they’re undocumented means that they have no leverage in terms of the wage that they could receive. Those jobs would go largely unfilled or they’d be replaced by technology.”

Trump’s desire to change or get rid of trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement may also impact on Arizona.

Trump hopes doing away with NAFTA will force companies to bring jobs from manufacturing plants in Mexico back into the U.S. “I think his goal would be to bring jobs back to Ohio and Pennsylvania and all those states that have lost manufacturing jobs,” Prendergast said. “If he’s successful in that, then he’s going to pull out all the manufacturing jobs from Sonora, in which case the local Southern Arizona companies depending on that cheap labor would get hurt big time.”

Prendergast believes NAFTA is huge for Southern Arizona. He said if Trump decides to pull out of NAFTA it would “completely redraw the lines of the economy in Southern Arizona,” and it’s impossible to know what would happen in that situation.

“The thing about him [is] it’s very hard to pin down exactly what he’s talking about, so it’s hard to say how everything is going to be affected,” Prendergast said.

Mateer warned that while we may see some economic gains from some of Trump’s policies, it’s possible they may not last. He called Trump’s policies "protectionist" and said, while they’re stimulative in the short run, they will only last until countries like Mexico and China begin to retaliate with tariffs on U.S. products.

“If you thought long-term about the economy you’d say that this is a bad policy,” Mateer said.

“But if you thought, ‘I’m Donald Trump, and I want my presidency to succeed in the first couple years,’ then being protectionist is actually proeconomic growth for our nation.”

UA reacts to reality of a Trump presidency

BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120

Protests and rallies against Donald Trump have spurred up across the country, and students from the UA and members of the Tucson community alike have participated from a variety of pro and anti-Trump angles.

UA students and Tucson community members presented people with the opportunity to voice their thoughts regarding President-elect Trump at a number of protests and community gatherings this past week.

Numerous news organizations including CNN, the Associated Press and the Washington Post declared Trump the winner before Hillary Clinton and her campaign conceded with the election night results.

Arizona became a battleground state in the election and contributed 11 electoral votes to Trump’s 270 after he took the state by nearly 96,000 votes.

After election night, various centers at the UA hosted events where students and Tucson community members were able to express their feelings and opinions regarding Trump's win.

UA political science junior and Associated Students of the University of Arizona Pride Alliance co-director Jacob Winkelman said Trump's win sparked an increase of students visiting the center on the fourth floor of Student Union Memorial Center.

“Our center on the rest of the

week was open every day trying to support people,” Winkelman said. “As a sign of how scared a lot of people are, we were packed all day—certainly more than sometimes we normally get.”

Winkelman said that although Trump hasn’t said anything directly homophobic, the people the president-elect surrounds himself with—including his vice president and forming administration—have clearly demonstrated that under his

administration, LGBTQ people's rights will be at risk.

“I think the scariest thing is just how people on a day-to-day level are going to act with people who are visibly queer or they know to be queer,” Winkelman said.

Grace Kawamura, a firstyear violin performance doctorate student, said it’s an easy way out to think protests accomplish nothing.

“Its great to be here and see all kinds of solidarity from all sorts

of people, different communities and backgrounds—I really feel a great energy,” Kawamura said. “I have family members who voted for Trump, which makes me feel very ignored based on who I am as an Asian-American woman.

My father voted for Trump and he was an immigrant himself, which really makes me very confused, betrayed and ashamed.”

Sierra Mejia, an environmental science sophomore and head desk assistant for LGBTQ affairs,

said she hopes standing and holding a sign in objection will wake people up and make a change.

“We’re all fearful because Trump has started hate crimes," Mejia said. "People that are of color, queer, minorities—we are all terrified."

Mejia said she hopes her community and herself are heard as an outcome of the protests.

She has taken a step to remove all friends and family who support Trump’s viewpoints to stand up in her beliefs and cause a shift in others’ viewpoints.

“I hope Trump fulfills all that he said he’s recently backtracking on from what he had originally said, or gets impeached,” said Fernanda Tavares, a preeducation junior.

Michael O’Connor, a prebusiness freshman and Trump supporter, said he doesn’t think bad change will come in the first two years from Trump’s presidency.

He said that by the end of his college education, there will be more jobs for him and his colleagues created by Trump.

Tavares said she thinks the most important thing she can do in this situation is continue voicing her opinion despite disagreements around her.

“We are all one people, that includes African Americans, Mexicans and everyone else that could be impacted by that,” Katie Walker, a chemistry sophomore, said. “This is all of our responsibility.”

Protesters say Trump 'isn't their president'

BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall

Students and community members gathered at the UA campus on Monday evening to protest President-elect Donald Trump.

Seven students organized the event, called NotMyPresident: College Students and Tucson Community Speaks Up, because they wanted to come together and provide a space for people to express themselves.

The organizers informed the Dean of Students Office beforehand and contacted University of Arizona Police Department and the Tucson Police Department to inform them of the event.

On Facebook, the event was shared with almost 6,000 people, and got close to 2,000 RSVPs. Public health senior Khadra Farah, the primary organizer, got emotional in her opening speech to the crowd.

“Tonight, by being here, you’re showing me that this is what America is all about,” she said. “Let me be clear—this is a peaceful protest, meant to a lot of people that know that we will not stand for any form of hate, whether it be bigotry, misogyny or any other form.”

Farah said that as an African, black, Muslim woman and student, she wanted to make sure she and other marginalized groups could feel safe on and off campus in the wake of the election.

A PROTESTOR HOLDS A sign reading “Trump Eats Small Children” at a #NotMyPresident rally on the UA Mall on Monday, Nov. 14.

“We monitor things—we make sure people are being respectful, we make sure people aren’t feeling threatened,” said Filbert Barrera, UAPD public information officer. “Even though they might say things we don’t agree with, it’s not necessarily illegal. If we perceive that maybe it’s getting a little too heated, we stand there even just as a deterrent to let people know they can express their ideas.”

The protesters marched up campus toward University Boulevard and Fourth Avenue and culminated in a gathering at Catalina Park Inn, where protesters sang and chanted about making a change.

“We must love and support one another,” Farah chanted with the crowd at the park. “We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

THANKSGIVING DINNER $

BY MEGAN JACOBY @DailyWildcat

Suspicious creeper A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call at 1303 E. University Blvd. in reference to suspicious activity on Nov. 8. Upon arrival, a female flagged the officer down. She told the officer a strange male had been following her for the last two weeks.

Upon further inquiry, she stated that two weeks ago as she was leaving the Student Union Memorial Center to go toward the Modern Languages building, she noticed a man following her.

When she turned around, she noticed that the male had increased his speed.

When she made it to the doors of Modern Languages, she turned around and yelled, “Get away from me.”

The male returned by smiling at her and saying, “I am just messing with you,” before leaving in the opposite direction. After that, the female student went inside and didn’t see him again.

On Nov. 8, she said she was leaving Cactus Grill at the SUMC when she saw the same male again as she was walking down the stairs. As soon as she saw him, she turned around and went right back into Cactus Grill where she stayed with two friends.

She called UAPD because she was not sure if seeing him was a coincidence or if she was really being followed.

The male has never harmed or threatened the individual, but he is always seen around the same time on Tuesdays after one of her classes. The female gave the UAPD officer a description of the male, and the officer conducted a search to locate the individual but did not find him.

Found and arrested On Nov. 9, a UAPD officer was doing his usual patrols in Coronado Residence Hall when the desk assistant stopped him and provided him with a wallet he found. While looking for identification belonging to the owner, the officer found a Connecticut driver’s license with the date of birth being in the year of 1994.

The officer also found a California driver’s license with the date of birth being in the year of 1997. Upon further inspection, only the California license returned valid through the records book, while the Connecticut one turned out to be fake.

The desk assistant informed the UAPD officer of the room number that the owner of the wallet was in. Upon arriving to the room, the student’s roommate called the student to contact him.

The UAPD officer met with the male student in the lobby of Coronado. The male student was told of the officer’s findings and was given his Miranda Rights. The student was then placed under arrest for possession of a fake out-of-state license. After receiving a signature from the student, he was released and advised of his court date.

UA Confluencenter brings disciplines together

BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

From film to scientific studies and languages to paintings, the Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry promotes interdisciplinary research and collaboration in order to address serious issues in today’s society.

Formed in 2010, the Confluencenter has thus far given out more than $2.2 million in funding and supported around 250 projects, including the documentary “Focusing the Universe,” a short history of the Steward Observatory created by Michael Mulcahy, associate professor of theatre, film and television, and Peter Beudert, distinguished professor.

Mulcahy said the idea for the film came from the pair’s shared interest in history. They reached out to the Confluencenter because they got funding for a separate film from the center a few years ago and because Beudert was a founding member.

“The film was what the Confluencenter had always been excited about,” Mulcahy said. “Now you had one unit, Peter and me, reaching out across colleges. Even though Peter and I are in the same school, he’s theater and I’m film, so that’s bridging a gap.”

That connection is what the Confluencenter aims to facilitate.

Their mission is to support interdisciplinary collaborattions, foster research and creative

activity and allow faculty to make connections across colleges.

Mulcahy said the center truly promotes creative synthesis and work “in big and small ways to bring people together.”

“They’re more than just giving out money,” Mulcahy said. “They’re trying to stimulate an environment in which people can meet each other to see what comes of it, because faculty members can get stuck in their own discipline. I would certainly want to work with the Confluencenter again.”

“Focusing the Universe” will be shown on KUAT-TV in the spring.

Mulcahy said it might be picked up by other member affiliate stations as well.

That hits another important aspect of the Confluencenter’s mission—community engagement.

Confluencenter Director Javier Duran said products like film, art exhibits and concerts all help engage the public, because they fall outside of what’s typically considered research.

“We feel that fine arts are often left out of research,” Duran said.

“We provide equal space. This is the challenge, because all the work is equally important.”

Equality is a central idea at the Confluencenter, which Duran said is “recognized as a center that promotes diversity and inclusion on many levels.”

“Our researchers are poets, scientists, artists, psychologists,”

SIGMA CHI FROM PAGE 1

Alev alleges defendants Kyle Frattali and Kyle Gunderson told the group he was the fraternity member the Alpha Phi new member had identified.

In the complaint Alev filed on Oct. 7, he alleged this was a “calculated falsehood” designed to damage his reputation. Since the fraternity meeting, Alev has been removed from the fraternity and said his friendships and relationships have suffered.

Alev also alleges he was selected to take the blame by active members because he was one of the few Hispanic members of the chapter.

The full list of defendants includes the president of the Beta Phi chapter of Sigma Chi, Brian Kewin, and members Frattali, Gunderson, Stills, Tyler Rice, Luke Treffers, Daniel Benita, Matt Senger and Caden Williams.

Kewin had no comment and Michael Church, executive director of Sigma Chi Fraternity Headquarters, said he does not comment on active litigation.

In addition to suing for reputational damages, Alev also said he has suffered from damages of

Duran said. “We use creative inquiry as an umbrella to create that intellectual space for people trying to reach out of their discipline.”

Funding for the Confluencenter comes mostly in the form of state money from the Office of the Provost, though there are some private donations as well.

The Confluencenter also focuses on co-sponsorships and partnerships, especially those reaching the community.

“Many people don’t come to campus that much,” Duran said.

“Community engagement is an important part of our mission. So, if them coming here is a challenge, why not just go to them?”

To that end, the Confluencenter has worked with the City of Tucson, the Mexican Consulate, the Loft Cinema and Playground Bar and Lounge, along with many different colleges and groups on campus.

Jamie Manser, Confluencenter communications and events coordinator, said they host a monthly “Show and Tell” at Playground, where attendance has grown with each session.

“The show-and-tells are chosen by which researchers have the time and ability to report and have things to talk about, like a project near completion,” Manser said.

“All of the outcomes are more than what just one researcher could come up with.”

Mulcahy agreed, saying the best part of the process was

mental distress.

William Risner, Alev’s attorney, declined to comment.

Associate Professor of Law Jane Bambauer said suing for defamation requires “publication,” meaning the defaming statement must be spoken to at least one other person. If it can be proven the defamation was done maliciously, a plaintiff may collect punitive damages.

Alev is not only alleging the defendants committed all these acts, but also the acts were done with an “evil mind as defined by Arizona law,” according to the lawsuit, which would enable him to collect these punitive or exemplary damages, should the Court agree with him.

According to UA Fraternity and Sorority Program’s website, Sigma Chi is facing a $3,050 monetary sanction, as well as University Probation until Dec. 1, 2018.

The website states probation means “any violation of the prohibited conduct items in the Student Code of Conduct, including failure to comply with these sanctions, will lead to further disciplinary action which could include loss of recognition.”

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

the collaboration.

“I don’t normally have enough money to collaborate with people all the time,” Mulcahy said. “It’s nice when you’re not the only one shouldering all the weight. [Beudert] and I could go back and forth on an idea and make it stronger. It was really very enjoyable.”

Duran pointed to those feelings to showcase how well the Confluencenter has been received.

He said the Confluencenter will go under its yearly review soon, and he’s sure the outcome will be positive.

“We’re new,” Duran said. “We don’t have alumni. It takes time to build things, but we’ve got a wide

range of possibilities. To sustain this, it’s going to be a mix. We’re going to have to seek large grants and it’s clear we’re also going to need some philanthropy.”

The Confluencenter’s 2015-2016 annual report showed they gave out $815,263 in seed money and saw a six-to-one return on their investment, as their researchers were awarded $5 million in external investments.

Duran stressed that money isn't the center's focus.

“It’s not all about money,” Duran said. “Sometimes we end up with a publication or a film, things that are really interesting, really informative and really cool.”

In abortion fight, no one side is more right

BY JACKSON MORRISON @DailyWildcat

W

e live in an age without reasonable discourse. Rather than engaging in active thought, most would rather accept whatever ideology those around them have accepted and then defend it fanatically.

This has led to the elimination of discussion on issues such as the legality of abortions.

As a result, many pockets of society have accepted the “right opinion” on many complicated issues and believe that anyone who hasn’t “drank the Kool-Aid” is either a bigot or uninformed.

We are all guilty of this to some extent.

We might believe—quietly or otherwise— that those who oppose abortion misunderstand the fight for women’s rights. Or, we’ll think that those who support stronger immigration controls are xenophobic bigots, and while we’d like to think that our opinions on this matter come from a stance of intellectual detachment, in reality, it likely comes from how you were raised and who you associate with.

For example, there is a strong correlation with youth and liberalism, just as there is a strong correlation between wealth and conservatism. Our political ideologies are so strongly linked to our demographics that many campaign managers will completely ignore one demographic or another, accepting that they will lose the demographic’s vote no matter what.

It’s human nature to adopt the ideology of those around us; it’s human nature to lash out against those who directly oppose our ideology. This tribalistic tendency has quelled all reasonable discourse, as anyone who has posted anything political online can likely tell you.

Rather than coming together to answer tough questions—like how much immigration control we should have, how we should combat climate change and how taxes should be collected and

distributed—we have instead decided that our opinion about the issue is the right one and those who disagree are wrong.

There are, obviously, some beliefs which are categorically wrong and easy to dismiss: Those who believe the Earth is flat, the government is using fluoride to control us or world leaders are actually lizard-men in human disguise—yes, there are actually people who believe each of these things—can easily be ignored in the realm of reasonable discourse.

The majority—thankfully—doesn’t adhere to any of these easily dismissed beliefs. Everyone likes to think their beliefs are based in reason.

respond to these issues depends not on the outcome we hope to see, but rather how we choose to interpret facts. As is the case with the abortion discussion.

While 29 percent of people support abortion in all circumstances and 50 percent support it in certain circumstances, the supporters accept the unpleasant nature of an abortion as a necessary evil for a greater good.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during her 2008 presidential campaign that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare,” which is a common mantra for pro-abortion activists. This mantra recognizes that the costs of forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term is detrimental to both the potential mother and society as a whole.

Those against abortion in all instances

will often recognize the strength of the pro-abortion camp. However, they believe that the fetus is actually a person who has yet to be born and should be recognized as such, and as a result, they should have all the protections, both legal and moral, that an infant would have.

The defining issues between the proand anti-abortion camps doesn’t come down to what the societal costs are of forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term. It comes down to what type of societal standing a fetus should have.

Unfortunately, this debate is ultimately impossible to solve, for it comes down to a moral issue which each member of society must answer individually.

Whatever you choose though, remember the other side is just as “correct” as you are.

Inspiration, future of Rustic Candle on 4th Ave. Fourth Avenue is full of motivated, independent self-starters. Meet Rustic Candle founder Monica Cota

BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR @notsowild_cat

Rustic Candle on Fourth Avenue has been around for 14 years, and Monica Cota, it’s owner and founder, remains humble and hopeful.

Cota was inspired to try candle making after visiting a small store similar to her own while on a road trip. After graduating college, she dove in without any business knowledge and has steadily built up her product and process.

Cota is assisted by two part-time employees but the store has mostly remained her own. The enjoyment she gets from her work is palpable, as is how much care she puts in the production of her candles.

“I have to say the dirt candle [is my favorite],” Cota said. “I wish I could show you one right now, but we’re sold out of it. I love it because it’s just such a novelty fragrance. It’s just in a pillar style ... It smells exactly like fresh, wet dirt after a rain or if you were gardening. It’s a very earthy, rich, wet Earth smell.”

Though the seasonal scents are also beginning to re-emerge now that the weather is finally cooling off, Cota’s shop still holds some Calavera candles made yearly for All Souls’ Day. The varying shapes of candles are created with plastic molds, but the majority of the candles found in the shop are basic pillars.

With noted customer interest, Cota plans on selling her first jarred candles by 2017.

This doesn’t mean she will quit creating the iconic free candles, though, a style which inspired the name of the store.

“I knew that they weren’t going to come out perfect, and I liked that they look hand-made and funky,” Cota said. “Once I had started making them and knew that I liked that hand-made, rustic look, I started making them to look rustic on purpose with a whitewash finish on them. I just decided rustic should be the name since they look unperfect.”

The perfectly imperfect candles are accompanied for sale with other crafts from local artists and objects from around the world, such as incense. The most local supplier in that regard is from Sedona, according to Cota, supplying her with white sage, resin incense and palo santo.

She also sells her candles to Swindlers on University Boulevard and to a store in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

One last unique feature of Cota’s store is her wax recycling, which encourages customers to save their wax melt to be exchanged for store credit. This wax is then used for candles created out of a colorful hodgepodge of the remelted and filtered wax, which makes them fun regardless of not being able to buy them for a specific scent, and they are about $3 less than regular candles of the same sizes.

“The great thing about wax is it doesn’t really expire,” Cota said. “It can be reheated, repoured, recycled, reused. So we actually do have a wax recycling program with a 50 cents store credit per pound of wax ... It’s fun because no two of these candles are ever the same.”

De-stress with help from local yoga studios Relax and renew at these four places to get your yoga on near campus

BY BRIANNA DARLING @bdarlingarizona

From essays to student jobs to your weekly phone call with mom, finding a moment to relax and de-stress from the hustle of student life can be challenging. With its plethora of physical, mental and spiritual benefits, yoga is an activity that more and more young people practice to let go of dayto-day anxieties.

With so many affordable options near campus, it can be hard to choose a studio to practice. A few of the yoga studios nearer to campus include YogaOasis Downtown, 4th Avenue Yoga, Session Yoga and classes at UA’s Student Recreation Center.

YogaOasis — 245 E. Congress St. YogaOasis has multiple locations across Tucson, but the one closest to campus is its downtown location. The studio is home to many Tucson yogis, including Jessica Luse, who works at the front desk.

“I think that it is a different kind of atmosphere, definitely,” Luse said.

“There’s something special about YogaOasis. It’s the teachers—their passion and their creativity, and then their alignment and safety and their willingness to get students to really want to be here. They lead by example and they’re dedicated.”

There are a few different types of classes offered at YogaOasis Downtown, including yogahour, expanding, Love yo’ Body and more.

Yogahour is the studio’s cheapest offered class, at $5 each. It is marketed toward anyone interested in an hour of practice, no matter their skill level. The expanding class is more advanced and more expensive.

“When I was a student, I did a work trade,” Luse said. “I would clean the studio for two hours a day and trade for free yoga.”

YogaOasis also offers a student discount of $10 off a monthly pass for students interested in unlimited monthly yoga.

4th Avenue Yoga — 413 E. 5th St. 4th Avenue Yoga is a very popular studio among Tucsonans looking for great classes at cheap prices. Nychole Reilly, one of 4th Avenue Yoga’s many teachers, said the studio is one of the best in town.

“We have tons of styles of yoga,” Reilly said. “Our teachers are very eclectic—we all come from different backgrounds, and just the community we’re in is the best.”

Reilly believes that because of 4th Avenue Yoga’s friendly atmosphere and welcoming teachers, students tend to leave the studio having made new friends. She said that many times students will end up doing activities together outside the studio as well.

Every class offered at 4th Avenue Yoga costs $5, no matter the style of yoga being taught. It offers both a 10-class pass and an unlimited monthly pass.

“We don’t do student discounts just because we’re already $5 and we’re the most affordable in town,” Reilly said.

“We do offer workshops and stuff like that throughout the year.”

4th Avenue Yoga also partners with various charities around town, including Tucson’s Cause for Canines and a community food drive. The food drive is currently accepting donations for Thanksgiving.

can’t just come in here and ask for a job—you need to really love yoga and have a passion for the lifestyle.”

Session Yoga prides itself on the atmosphere its creates inside the studio. Lucas ensures her teachers are as welcoming as they can be by putting post-it notes behind the front desk with reminders to keep the discussion healthy and centered on the yogi lifestyle.

Classes at Session Yoga cost $7 with cash or $8 with credit card. It offers both a 10-class pass and an unlimited monthly pass, which is $25 cheaper if set up on automatic payment. Each month, Lucas chooses a local charity to donate the proceeds fundraised through her Sunday karma class.

Campus Recreation — 1400 N. Highland Ave. Another great yoga spot is the UA’s very own Rec Center. Yoga classes of all sorts of styles are offered, including Yoga Sculpt, SUP yoga, Power Yoga and more.

A group fitness pass, which costs $59 on the Rec Center’s website, admits students to any class throughout the semester. Halfway through the semester, passes become half off, making regular yoga sessions at the Rec Center an awesome deal.

Session Yoga — 123 S. Eastbourne Avenue Session Yoga is a little farther away from campus than the previously mentioned studios, but is just a short drive away via Broadway Boulevard. Owned

by Chelsea Lucas, Session Yoga has been around for five years.

“This place is really, really special to me,” Lucas said. “I am really very picky with my yoga teachers. People

Q&A BFA student talks life as a student actor classes—it’s a big reason why I picked the program.

In her third year now, Marissa Munter is pursuing a degree from UA’s Bachelor of Fine Arts Musical Theatre program. The actress, singer and dancer currently stars in the UA Repertory Theater’s play “Born Yesterday.”

The talented student talked to the Daily Wildcat about her journey so far as a UA BFA student.

DW: How long have you been acting? Have most of your roles been involved with musical theater?

MM: I started acting when I was 10 years old and performed mainly in musicals. I acted in one play (not a musical) before I came to college.”

Do you enjoy the UA’s BFA musical theatre program and what it offers its students?

I love it. I mean, it’s why I came here. I have about 16 people in my class. It’s definitely a competitive program but it’s nice to have small

Who are your favorite actresses and how do they inspire you?

My three favorite actresses right now are Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and Tatiana Maslany. Chastain is a huge role model for me because I think her body of work is so cool and she does everything. Emily Blunt I think is an incredible person, she seems so down to earth and is a really smart actress. Maslany is a really awesome actress and also has a great body of work.

What has been the hardest role you have taken on so far in your career?

The one I’m doing right now. Her name is Billie Dawn—she is a blonde bombshell from Brooklyn, so not me at all. The character Dawn [is] the hardest for me because of her accent—[I] didn’t come in with a Brooklyn accent so I had to learn it.

In the beginning of the play she’s kind of known for being a little dumb—the story is she gets smarter as the play goes on. We did a lot

of voice work in terms of how her voice is in the beginning and how it changes by the end.

How do you balance rehearsals, auditions, schoolwork and a social life?

Its hard. It’s a lot of just time management, I guess—as cliché as that sounds—but it really is.

What is the most challenging thing about being an actress?

I think the vulnerability of it, because the nature of our job is to be vulnerable on stage and that’s kind of scary. Even though you’re playing a character, the character is still you, so that can be hard depending on the content you’re doing.

Also the nature of the business, hearing “no” a thousand times before you hear a “yes,” is difficult.

What is a fun fact that people would be interested to know about you?

I can’t smell skunks. I can’t smell them at all. Any time there is a skunk around I never smell it. It’s very odd, but I’m not complaining about it.

Political polls: A user’s guide in uncertain times Last week’s election upset cast the validity of political opinion polls into doubt. A UA statistician gives insight into how predictions are made

BY CHANDLER DONALD @DailyWildcat

In the wake of last week’s election, many are questioning the accuracy and utility of public polling for elections in the U.S. Donald Trump’s victory, alongside many other surprising victories, came as a shock to the millions who had seen repeated polls showing Clinton as the favorite, consistently, until Election Day. By way of example, an informal online poll done by the Daily Wildcat had Trump’s chances coming it at a mere 34 percent.

Online polling is still in its infancy, but polling for politics is certainly not a new practice.

While political researchers undoubtedly gauged the climate of voters for centuries, accurate professional polling didn’t arise until the formation of the Gallup Organization in 1935.

Theory and methodology have changed, but the heart of polling has remained the same since the 1936 election.

“Most professional polling, as opposed to internet polling, involves calling phones and asking people a couple of questions and hoping they don’t hang up,” said Katherine Barnes, a professor of law and assistant professor of economics at the UA. Aside from a doctorate in law, Barnes has a Ph.D. in statistics and is a member of the UA Statistics Graduate Interdisciplinary Program. The Statistics SGIP is an organization providing advanced statistical training and research for M.S. and Ph.D. students focusing on the intersection of mathematics and biological sciences.

“The main issue with this is representativeness. Polling companies have gotten better over the years, especially with the inclusion of cell phones into the mix, but polls have

a hard time getting in touch with certain demographics of people, particularly the younger generation,” Barnes said.

In order to counteract these issues, data analysts apply a certain weight to pieces of their data. In essence, examining the demographics of the data sample means that the response of some people will count more than others in order to attain a representative set of data.

“One problem with polls is that after getting the information, they see that it is not demographically accurate so they need to go and adjust for it,” Barnes said. “Part of the

problem is, how do you do that?

That’s why conducting this kind of research is as much of an art as it is a science.”

While there are some commonly accepted best practices, the art aspect of polling has contributed to polls frequently disagreeing, according to Barnes.

“Even the people who took the polls and made them into models disagree over time, and so we’re all seeing choices they made about what the reasonable conclusions were.”

Certainly, there is plenty of room for error in the current way polls are done, but there

will always be a demand for this type of statistic.

“I have colleagues in local elections who aren’t polling,” Barnes said. “I think polling is important, but I don’t think it’s everything. Polls matter, they are important, but I think it’s easy to discount polls you don’t like and believe polls that you do like.”

The Gallup organization remains the gold standard for polling in the U.S. Their standard for accuracy has come under fire in recent years as they failed to predict the winner of the presidential election this year, as well as in 2012.

Before these instances, Gallup

successfully predicted all but two U.S. presidential elections since 1936.

“So the underlying question of ‘how much do you trust polls?’ is to remember that they are useful data that provide useful information, but you have to take them with a grain of salt, in general, because they aren’t necessarily representative and each group does their processing differently based on what they think is representative,” Barnes said.

“People disagree on the best way of doing things and they end up making a difference in the end.”

UA researcher snags Air Force grant UA physicist John Schaibley won a major military grant to develop ultra-fast transistors that use light waves

BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @DailyWildcat

UA Physics Department professor, John Schaibley, has received a $360,000 grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to study plasmonic amplifiers. He is one of 58 scientists to receive the grant, with a total of $21 million handed out between them.

Schaibley’s work focuses on using light waves, or plasmonics, to create ultra-fast transistors. The grant was given out for two reasons: To keep the U.S. at the forefront of technology and as a way to fund the next generation of graduate students still in need of experience.

Schaibley currently has two grad students working with him.

Transistors are small chips that act as both switches and amplifiers. They can halt electrical currents as well as increase total output. Transistors are essential to electronics and are used most everywhere.

According to Moore’s Law, every year the number of transistors per square inch is doubled. By minimizing distance between transistors, overall speed and processing power increases. The less distance for an electron to travel, the faster it can reach its goal.

“Modern electronics is based on manipulation and flow of charge through wires,” Schaibley said.

What he hopes to do is build computer processors using optics and photons.

Plasmons are confined light waves coupled with electronic charge waves. The study of plasmonics itself is not new; researchers in the 1980s used light waves to excite and energize electrons on conductive metal surfaces.

The goal of this research is to bring photons onto a chip. With traditional storage methods, we can only contain a single light wave, which is about 500 billionths of a meter, or 500 nano meters.

By sandwiching the light waves between a conductive metal and a dielectric, some of the energy can be stored in the metal, allowing for smaller storage.

Dielectric is a word for insulator,

AIDEN VENS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

JOHN SCHAIBLEY EXAMINES A laser being set up by Michael Fink of the Coherent company with two of his graduate students, Matthew Klein and Christine Mucciant, on Wednesday, Nov. 15, in Schaibley’s lab in the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building. Schaibley was recently awarded a military grant to research transistors that could increase computing speed by thousands of times over.

something that doesn’t conduct electricity well, like glass. By putting these things together it creates an interface for the light waves to travel through.

The average computer can send messages at around the speed of a nanosecond. Plasmonic transistors, however, have the potential to got 1,000 to 10,000 times as fast.

In order to mimic the switching behavior of standard transistors with optics, two lasers are needed.

One laser will pump energy into atoms and excite them, which will then determine whether or not the second laser beam will be absorbed or reflected.

“You can use this to mimic the switching behavior,” Schaibley said.

Naturally, as electrons are transported through conductors, they lose energy through a process called ohmic loss. They lose energy by bumping into the metal components and heating them up. Since no perfect conductors exist, there will always be a loss in energy. The challenge is to overcome this loss.

In order to overcome the energy loss, Schaibley is using an ultrathin semi-conductor material, only three atoms thick. The material is made of graphene, and it has the conductivity of thick copper. The material itself is actually only one atom thick, but Schaibley is using three layers. In fact, it is so thin it’s essentially two-dimensional.

“These electrons in these ultrathin semi-conductors react very well with light,” he said.

By layering it between the metal and the dielectric, he hopes to simulate and improve upon the switching and amplifying behavior and overcome the loss in energy.

“The key here is that it’s a nonlinear interference effect between the propagating surface waves and the electrons in this 2-D semiconductor that allow it to take energy out of one wave and pump it into the other,” Schaibley said.

In a linear medium, light waves do not interact with each other. By inserting the semi-conductor, the system becomes non-linear, the waves begin to interact, one wave

will control the other and they share energy.

By combining light and electronic charge waves, the plasmonic waves can be stored on nano-scale chips. As mentioned before, however, there will be an ohmic loss in energy as the structure is heated. By introducing the excited electrons from the semi-conductor, Schaibley seeks to amplify the output and overcome the loss.

This is primarily a proof of concept experiment. Schaibley is starting off with only one plasmonic transistor. But if it can be successfully done with just one, it can be duplicated and then multiplied.

ARIZONA FORWARD KEANU PINDER (25) jumps to block a dunk by CSU-Bakersfield forward Jaylin Airington (11) in McKale Center on Tuesday, Nov. 15. The Wildcats beat the Roadrunners 78-66.

sometimes they got a second shot and that turned in to a three-point shot or a foul. Our big guys have to do a great job of rebounding; all good teams they don’t give you second shots.”

Miller spoke of the effects of not having the on-and-off the court leader in Allen, and how badly

Arizona needs to stay healthy.

“He might be our most important player based on what he does on offense and on defense,” Miller said. “We got our fingers crossed that we can get a good stretch of health.”

The Wildcats still had enough sheer talent to hold off

CSU-Bakersfield without their senior leader Allen, but hope to have him back soon.

Arizona will face Sacred Heart on Friday at 8 p.m. in McKale Center.

The game will be televised on Pac12 Networks.

Adia Barnes off to an

BY RYAN KELAPIRE @RKelapireUA

The Arizona women’s basketball team started its season this week, defeating Western New Mexico in an exhibition Tuesday before opening the regular season with 74-59 win over Alcorn State on Sunday afternoon.

Head coach Adia Barnes, a UA alumna and the program’s all-time leading scorer, made her highly anticipated debut with Arizona.

“As a coach, you can only control so much. So there was adrenaline, excitement, it’s new, it’s fun and you get to see your work put into place,” Barnes following Tuesday’s game.

“I was excited to see how they were going to respond. It’s funny because the team was really nervous. … They want to impress, they want to do the right things.”

UA senior forward LaBrittney Jones classified Barnes as a laid-back coach, and it showed in her coaching style.

Rather than standing and pacing on the sidelines like many coaches do, Barnes was sitting down, occasionally yelling directives at her players.

“I’m not a real yell-the-wholegame type of person,” Barnes said.

“Everybody says it’s different when you move over [to the head coach’s seat]— it’s only 18 inches—and it is different, but it’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s your team.”

Barnes isn’t sure if that easy-going demeanor on the sideline will last.

“When I brought a little bit of intensity a couple times, they went out and played a little better,” Barnes said.

“So [I’m] figuring out what buttons to press for my team … figuring out that style and how to do it and every player you have to coach differently.”

Barnes is still learning some of the ins-and-outs that come along with being a head coach, but at this point, it’s the “small things,” like determining where team managers stand and how the team’s pre-game shootaround will be conducted.

Plus, making decisions. A lot of them.

“Everything else I was really prepared for and thought of, but one of the adjustments is the stuff every day, like making decisions,” Barnes said.

As a whole, being a head coach has been “rewarding,” according Barnes.

“What’s really cool about it is you get to implement things and see what works and see what doesn’t work, so it’s really rewarding,” she said. “I think the girls are having a great time.”

Building a culture The Arizona women’s basketball program has had just one winning

encouraging start

season since 2005, and Barnes’ goal is to replace the losing culture with a championship culture.

One way to do that is to increase accountability. Starting guard Malena Washington, for instance, came off the bench Tuesday for disciplinary reasons.

“You have to make decisions.

I have to make a decision about Malena because she was one of our best players,” Barnes said. “I have rules and I’m going to hold people accountable, and that’s going to be the way it is because I’m looking at the big picture. I’ve been in championship cultures, I know what it looks like, and I know what’s important and you can’t sacrifice early, so that’s really important to me.”

What does that culture look like on the court? More cohesiveness.

“I think we’re playing more together; that was one of the biggest differences to me,” Jones said. “We shared the ball more. We just work on us and work on our culture that we’re trying to set for this year. We’re trying to run fast and get going.”

Washington added, “I think this year we have more confidence and trust in each other. It’s easier to play with each other knowing that we have each other’s backs and knowing that we can count on each other.”

Barnes still tweaking rotations In the win versus Alcorn State, 12 different Wildcats saw the court as Barnes is still looking for lineup combinations that are effective.

“I think initially, especially early in the season, what you’re trying to do is you’re trying to work through different combinations and see what’s the most efficient lineup, who plays the best together, so you’re trying different things,” Barnes said.

Arizona has used two different starting lineups in the first two games.

Lucia Alonso learning quick While the lineups are constantly shifting, freshman point guard Lucia Alonso’s presence has been consistent.

The Spaniard has started in both games, running the team’s offense in the process.

“Lucia has done a great job stepping in and she came in and didn’t speak a ton of English. She’s learning, she’s picking it up, she’s learning the plays fast,” Barnes said.

Alonso had 10 points, six assists and four rebounds in Sunday’s seasonopening victory.

“She’s a very smart point guard and she can shoot, she can score and she knows where the open pass is,”

ARIZONA FORWARD LABRITTNEY JONES shoots upward for a field goal during Arizona’s 7459 win against Alcorn State on Sunday, Nov. 13 in McKale Center. The Wildcats go on the road for their first road game against George Mason on Friday.

Washington said. “So I think that takes some pressure off the rest of our players because her basketball IQ is very high.”

Lauren Evans doing all the little things well Another constant in Arizona’s starting lineup thus far has been Lauren Evans. In Arizona’s first two games, the senior forward made a minimal impact on the stat sheet—she scored two points and grabbed one rebound in 14 minutes in the season opener—but an absence in the statsheet isn’t indicative of her impact on the court.

“And the reason why is because she’s one of our best on-the-ball defenders.

She’s one of our best at doing all of the little things that I really like—that bluecollar type player that I love,” Barnes

said of Evans on Sunday. “Tonight just wasn’t a great night for her because, at times, she wasn’t visible. But I think that that’s not normal Lauren and that hasn’t been Lauren in practice; she usually brings us so much.”

Barnes is still finding a way to put Evans in a position to succeed moving forward to the bulk of the schedule.

“I know I can get more out of her,” Barnes said. “She can go to the basket; she can hit pull-ups; she can hit setshots, but for her it’s just confidence, but she’s going to be a valuable piece to what we do.”

Arizona returns to action Friday when it travels to Fairfax, Virginia, to take on George Mason. Tipoff is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Veg Out Nutritiously Many college students have learned the hard way that cutting animal products from their diets is not the magic route to health or weight loss. While plantbased diets are associated with lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and obesity, a poorly executed vegetarian diet can result in vitamin/mineral deficiencies, fatigue, unintentional weight loss (or gain), and overall poor health. If you’re planning to make the switch to a vegetarian diet, here are a few things to keep in mind before taking the plant-based plunge.

Don’t forget the veggies and fruit. This might seem like a no-brainer, but many vegetarians’ diets lack veggies and fruits and instead include nutritionally empty, calorie-dense foods. After all, a diet of pizza, French fries, Oreos, and Pop Tarts is considered vegetarian! The healthiest vegetarian diets have a lot of colorful fruits and vegetables.

Avoid highly processed vegetarian foods. Focus on whole foods and products with short and simple ingredient lists.

Focus on these nutrients. If not wellplanned, going vegetarian can result in deficiencies in protein, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and/or

vitamins D and B12. Here are some plant sources of each: • Protein: beans, lentils, nuts, and soy products (i.e. tofu, tempeh).

Eggs and dairy foods, if including these foods.

• Iron: fortified cereals, oatmeal, beans, spinach, tofu, nuts • Zinc: legumes, soy products, cheese, nuts, grains • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: walnuts, walnut oil, flaxseeds, chia seeds • Calcium and Vitamin D: - Calcium: tofu, leafy greens and fortified fruit juices - Vitamin D: fortified breakfast cereals - Both: fortified dairy products or milk substitutes • B12: naturally found only in animal products (like dairy and eggs, if including). Vegans can get B12 from nutritional yeast, fortified breakfast cereals or soy products.

Like any eating pattern, the key to a healthy vegetarian diet is to include a variety of foods. If you need guidance on a plan that’s right for you, meet with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist like the ones at UA Campus Health!

STAN LIU/ARIZONA ATHLETICS

ARIZONA BASEBALL HEAD COACH Jay Johnson waves to a crowd upon his arrival back to Tucson after winning the NCAA Super Regionals in Starkville, Mississippi. Johnson and the baseball team was just one win shy of its fifth national championship.

Jay Johnson excited about 2017-2018 recruiting class

BY ROSS OLSON @rossolson95

Following the conclusion of the National Signing Period that began on Wednesday and ended on Thursday, Arizona baseball head coach Jay Johnson announced UA’s recruiting class for the 2017-2018 season.

After reeling in a top-10 class for the upcoming season, Johnson is excited about the potential of next year’s class of 14 that consists of 11 high school products and three junior college transfers.

Johnson’s second class at Arizona is focused heavily on pitching, with eight of the 14 players being pitchers—five right-handed, three lefthanded. Of the six position players, three are outfielders, two are infielders and one is a catcher.

Here are a few standouts from the class: The headline of the class is Matt Sauer, a righthanded pitcher from Santa Maria, California. The 6-foot-4 righty went 10-3 with a 0.83 ERA and 103 strikeouts in 84.1 innings as a junior at Ernest Righetti High School.

Sauer, a member of the 2015 USA 17U National Team Development Program, has what Johnson called “tremendous arm strength and a wipeout slider.” But it’s Sauer’s intangibles that stood out to Johnson.

“I think the separator is—and we talked about this last year with our run and our team—the guys that pitch at the front end of the rotation or at the end of the game in the most important innings have to have special character, competitiveness and makeup,” Johnson said. “That’s what seals the deal for me the most with [Sauer].”

The Wildcats are very familiar with infielder Travis Moniot, who started 53 games at shortstop for Oregon last season and tied the Ducks’ freshmen record for home runs with five.

Moniot, a 34th-round pick by the San

Francisco Giants out of high school in 2015, will play for Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California, this season. Johnson raved about his high ceiling and fit in the program.

“Unlimited potential, unlimited ability,” Johnson said. “When you look at the guys on our roster, the dynamic of what he can do offensively and defensively fits in extremely well. Anytime you get a player with Pac-12 [Conference] experience, team USA experience, that’s a real positive. So we’re excited about Travis.”

Johnson compared infielder Jacob Blas to a former UA standout and fan-favorite who is flying through the Pittsburgh Pirates’ organization.

“He is a San Diego county guy and we had Kevin Newman here before I was here,” Johnson said. “I think defensively and athletically, that is a very good comparison. He may not be the physical, offensive player Kevin evolved into as a college sophomore and junior, but that’s why he’s coming to Arizona: to close the gap.”

Blas is coming off a remarkable junior campaign in which he hit .402 with two home runs, stole 16 bases, knocked in 19 RBIs and scored 33 runs in route to a CIF Championship a season ago for San Marcos High School in Carlsbad, California.

To top it off, the former member of Team USA was named Avocado East League MVP. Johnson said he is excited about the caliber of the players he recruited and believes this class will fit into the culture he’s creating in the program.

“I think this group will complement the program extremely well to help us keep pushing forward in a very competitive environment,” Johnson said. “Something that I’m always drawn to are high-level performers. I want guys that [are] pitcher of the year in their league or state player of the year because it shows a successful playing experience. I think we did a nice job with that.”

Markkanen, Alkins finding groove early The four factors affecting BAC are body weight, biological sex, amount of alcohol consumed, and time over which consumption takes place.

Can men outdrink women?

ALEX MCINTYRE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA FORWARD LAURI MARKKANEN (10) dunks ahead of CSU Bakersfield forward Matt Smith (0) against CSU Bakersfield in McKale Center on Tuesday, Nov. 15. Markkanen had a career high 26 points in the Wildcats’ 78-66 win.

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

The Arizona men’s basketball team won in a closer game than most people expected, 78-66, against CSU-Bakersfield on Tuesday night. Here are some of the takeaways from the game.

Lauri Markkanen is a pro Markkanen’s ability to hit shots from every spot on the floor is amazing, yet simple. He doesn’t do anything other worldly, but he does do everything so great it makes everyone else look average.

The Finnish freshman led the Wildcats with a career-high 26 points and 8 rebounds on an evening where the team only dressed seven scholarship players.

“He is a great shooter,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “He is one of the best players in college basketball.”

Alkins finds groove Rawle Alkins has struggled shooting the ball this season, but tonight was a breakout game behind the arc. Alkins connected on 4-for-6 3s, including three in a row to begin the game. If he can put together his driving skills, avoid offensive fouls and continue to hit from the outside, it will take this offense to another level.

“When his feet are set it is a great shot for our team,” Miller said. “He only took one

bad shot tonight so I like where he is at.”

Lineups, lineups, lineups Miller toyed with a variety of lineups tonight including playing all four big men at one time on the floor with the point guard being Kobi Simmons. It was viewed as more of a necessity to give guys a breather due to the short bench but also a way to see if certain lineups stick by happenstance.

With Kadeem Allen out nursing a knee injury with unknown return date, the Wildcats might have to keep adjusting.

Miller might be forced to eventually play walk-ons such as Paulo Cruz, who saw several minutes in Tuesday’s game.

Have you seen Dusan?

Dusan Ristic has been quiet so far this season, too quiet. In two games, he has yet to hit double figures and hasn’t produced the way others in the lineup have with the minutes each of them are getting.

His minutes dwindled toward the end of last season and players like Chance Comanche started seeing increased time. Ristic could be vital to this team or just a footnote, but he still has time to turn it around.

“I’m not worried about him,” Miller said.

“Dusan starts for a reason, but we do have to get more out of him rebounding the ball.

I thought he played better tonight than he did against Michigan State.”

There are plenty of perfectly good ways to get competitive out there, but drinking contests might not be the best option, unless you are OK with a case of the Brown Bottle Flu the following day. Yes, anyone who disregards the consequences can choose to drink more than the “other guy” (or girl). But the fact remains that when it comes to the sexes, alcohol does not provide a level playing field.

Many people think guys can outdrink women solely because they tend to weigh more. And while it’s true that heavier people will have lower blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) compared to lighter people drinking the same amount of alcohol – that’s only part of the story. Compared to women, men also have more of the enzymes that metabolize alcohol. More enzymes mean a lower BAC for the same amount of alcohol consumed.

There’s another important difference as well: men have

a higher percentage of water (by virtue of more muscle mass) compared to women, which helps dilute the concentration of alcohol in their bloodstream.

So, can men outdrink women?

If you’re asking who can drink more and have a lower BAC, all other things being equal, the answer is yes. But if you are looking for a good time, who really cares? Most of the positive effects of alcohol happen after the first few drinks, not the last few. Look on the bright side: women and people who weigh less need fewer drinks to get the positive social/fun effects of alcohol. In other words, they can drink less and still have a good time.

Let’s face it – anyone can overdrink, but underdrinking requires skill, practice, and discipline. Do you have what it takes? For more info on your BAC, and to figure out how many drinks will keep you in the sweet spot, check out www.health.arizona.edu/echeckup
