Cranksgiving combines biking and donating to food banks into a unique experience organized by UA students. The event is held once a year where participants from the Tucson and UA cycling communities travel to grocery stores around the university, buying food to donate to food banks.

The event starts Saturday, Dec. 3, at 1 p.m. at 1400 East Maple Street, directly north of the Highland parking garage.

Jaclyn Mendelson, a plant sciences senior, and Olin Marman, a prebusiness freshman, organized this year’s event.

The serious implications of dying trees

The Electoral College serves all of U.S.

A composite team of researchers from several universities, including the UA, are researching the far-reaching effects of forest die-offs and finding profound results. Reserachers used computer models to simulate the loss of large swaths of forests from specific areas and are measuring the positive and negative implications in forests continents away.

Despite recent calls to nix the Electoral College, it serves a very specific and important purpose. Without it, states with smaller populations like Wyoming and the Dakotas would be drowned out by the larger states of California, Florida and New York.

Internships ensure smooth sailing in careers

BY ALEX GONZALES @AlxandrGonzalez

College is a balancing act, and quite a difficult one at that. It is a decisive time in a person’s life where they must acquire the in-depth knowledge of the given field they would like to enter. Internships are crucially important for many UA students and serve as a stepping stone between the world of academia and the reality many working individuals take part in everyday.

Sylvia Mioduski, internship coordinator and program manager for the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, said she believes internship experience complements academic experiences and gives students a good perspective about potential career options and trajectories post-graduation.

“Positive internship experience is certainly beneficial for the student and ultimately an employer,” Mioduski said. “It is definitely a necessity for students to understand not just the specific work of a company or organization, but how to function successfully in that environment.”

According to Mioduski, the CLAS has approximately 3,000 students enrolled within the college, about 1,100 of which are in the college’s general studies and global studies majors. About 15 percent of those within the majors enroll in internship courses offered by CLAS. There are students, however, who decide to not enroll in these specific courses and in turn complete other external internship programs but do not receive credit from them.

“How the student uses and presents what was learned during the internship is key,” Mioduski said.

UA STEM Career Educator, Farrah Dalal, said she helps in bridging the gap between classroom and career by regularly conducting presentations on internships and job searching for STEM students.

Dalal does not personally help coordinate internships but said coordination is typically the responsibility of administration.

“In terms of finding internship opportunities, we regularly direct students to Wildcat JobLink, our campus job board and counsel on various search strategies such as networking and optimizing usage of LinkedIn,” Dalal said.

Dalal highly recommends students within STEM, as well as those students who are not, to get internships.

“We hear from employers time and time again, that they will offer the job to the student who had an internship or work experience over the student who had the grades from their major alone,” Dalal said. “Why? Because those soft skills, like leadership, ability to work in a team, and effective communications are built through these experiences and are desirable qualities for many reasons.”

Dalal went onto explain that many employers are directly looking at their internship programs to select outstanding and qualified students and offer them full-time positions post-graduation.

for many students could mean a job offer is in hand before graduation,” Dalal said.

Jose Coronado, a junior studying Spanish and retail and consumer science, is currently interning for the Consulate of Mexico and is in charge of distributing documentation and also helps with identity assignment.

“When I first started it was kinda hard for me because I did not know anything about it,” Coronado said. “I thought I wasn’t going to be interested in something political like a government institution, but it’s actually really cool and fascinating.”

One part of his internship that Coronado said he enjoys is community outreach, as well as general communication with the people the Mexican Consulate deals with.

Like many, Coronado understands the importance and significance internships carry and is personally hoping he is offered a position as a result of the work he has done and is currently doing for the consulate.

Coronado realizes that, since he now has experience working for a policy- and governmentoriented organization, his horizons for future potential internships and jobs within that field have widened.

Being a well-rounded person with a college degree who also has some prior work experience and knowledge is something Coronado realizes is becoming more necessary.

GPSC seeks faculty advisor, tables election talks GPSC approves funds to guarantee office hours with Noam Chomsky, hinted at ASUA Supreme Court partnership to resolve election complaints and plans to build closer relationship with faculty

BY RANDALLECK @reck999

The Graduate and Professional Student Council discussed the appointment of a faculty advisor and voted on proposed spending submissions in the Yuma Room of the Student Union Memorial Center at their meeting on Nov. 28.

“We need your energy and engagement,” said Todd Vanderah, the Pharmacology department head to the GPSC members assembled.

Vanderah and the rest of the general council discussed finding a faculty advisor to serve as a liaison between the faculty governing body and the GPSC and offer the members context on certain faculty issues.

He asked the council to provide a list of names of individuals they’d like to have as faculty advisor and said he’d attempt to fill the position and increase coordination between the two governing bodies.

Jim Collins, GPSC treasurer, presented a series of funding appropriations requests for a vote to the general council.

A $500 grant to the GeoClub to provide its members with t-shirts was provisionally approved, pending the submission of a statement adequately explaining why this use benefits all graduate students. All GPSC funds spent are required to benefit the graduate community as a whole.

The council discussed a request made by the GeoClub to have funds awarded last year roll over to this year if not spent. The council didn’t vote on the matter but felt a clear policy should be convened for the future that unspent money won’t carry over to the next year.

The council approved funding for conferences conducted by the English and linguistics departments and the Art History Association. The council voted not to fund a field trip the biosphere conducted by the INFORMS Student Chapter at the UA.

The GPSC approved spending $2,500 to gain an hour of graduate-only office hours and special seating for Noam Chomsky when he comes to campus next semester to teach a seven-week course.

The executive board informed the general council that it plans to put forth amendments to the constitution and bylaws to give the responsibility of resolving election appeals to the ASUA Supreme Court

UA’s high performance computing muscle ‘Ocelote’ and ‘El Gato’ are the UA’s newest additions to its substantial research computing system

BY TOM BEAL THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE)

A couple of cooled “cats” in the basement of a building off Speedway Boulevard are simultaneously recording sea temperatures in the Antarctic and predicting the shape and size of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way—among many other things.

“Ocelote” and “El Gato” are the two most recent components of a highperformance research computing system at the UA that grows and shifts to meet demand and also allows researchers to accept donations of grant funds to buy more processors.

Mike Bruck, assistant director for research computing at UA, prefers the term “high-performance computing” to describe what his arrays of processors do. He reserves the word “super computer” for the giant banks of processors put together by the National Science Foundation at eight university and institute sites across the country.

Those truly super computers contain 200,000 to nearly 1 million processors. The research computers at the UA have about 10,000. “Ours are pretty super, but they’re pretty small compared to the big NSF computers,” Bruck said.

When chemist Steve Schwartz moved his research group to the UA in 2012, he could have bought his own computers with the startup money he received, but he knew he would have to set up and maintain them.

He instead bought into the university’s first foray into research computing.

When that system was upgraded for a second time this year, he used $200,000 in leftover startup money from the Arizona Board of Regents Technology Research Initiative Fund and a $200,000 match from the National Institutes of Health to “buy” 1,500 processors on the UA’s new “Ocelote” system. The Ocelote cluster adds nearly 10,000 cores and 60 terabytes of memory.

“I don’t actually ‘own’ anything,” Schwartz said, but his group has first dibs on using his processors.

It’s needed, he said. His 13-member group, which does theoretical and computational studies of complex systems, has

projects that require a good deal of computing power.

Schwartz is trying to figure out the physical process that allows enzymes to speed-up chemical reactions and is examining the physical properties of surfactants, the molecules that make detergents work and put the foam in beer.

In partnership with his wife, UA medical researcher Jil Tardiff, he is also researching the physical mechanism that leads to heart failure in young athletes.

“We’re studying how mutations in your heart cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,” he said.

Schwartz said his wife “brought me kicking and screaming into this with very tiny pieces of cardiac thinfilm filament.”

“Now we study the entire cardiac thin filament—all the atoms and all the water molecules, over 4 million atoms. That’s a very big system and you need significant computing power for that.”

Schwartz said his group can now spend all its time on research, instead of maintaining and fixing computers or writing grants to get on the NSF’s supercomputers.

Schwartz had his own bank of processors when he and his wife were researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

“In New York, I owned my own cluster. If something broke, one of us had to go over and figure out what to do about it,” he said. He arrived at UA as the university was ramping up its research-computing facilities.

“Out of my startup money I bought a nice chunk of that first computer.

It was getting turned on the day I walked in the door,” he said.

Bruck said the benefits of central research computing are many.

A team of technicians keeps things running in the basement of the University Information Technology Services Building. The computers are cooled by radiators fed by the university’s chilled water supply.

Redundant power feeds from Tucson Electric Power are backed by banks of batteries and a diesel generator on the building’s south side.

You don’t have to buy processors to used the research computers, Bruck said.

The main funding for the UA’s highperformance computers comes from the Office of the Chief Information

WILL FERGUSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ADAM MICHEL, A SYSTEM administrator for UITS, leads a tour of the Research Data Center at 1077 N. Highland Ave shortly after its opening in 2012. “Ocelote” and “El Gato” are the UA’s two newest high-performance computing machines.

Officer and the Office for Research and Discovery. They are available to anyone doing research on campus and used by more than 120 research groups, he said.

When Schwartz isn’t using his processors, they become “windfall” time for projects with lesser priority.

Schwartz said he made use of that windfall time on the “El Gato” system, the 2012 upgrade made possible by grant money from the UA’s Department of Astronomy.

Schwatrtz said the heart muscle work required visualization and El Gato was outfitted with 140 graphics processing units (GPUs), the kind of computing needed for video games.

The astronomers use them to simulate astrophysical phenomena.

Feryal Ozel and Dimitrios Psaltis, the husband/wife team that is preparing the theoretical basis for an attempt to image the black hole at the center of our galaxy, have fed all of the data about black holes and all of Einstein’s theories into El Gato to produce animations of what that image should look like if current theories of relativity are accurate.

Oceanographer Joellen Russell was an early proponent of highperformance computing at UA. The advances of the past few years have allowed her to make the UA the computing center of an international

effort to sample the biogeochemical content of the Southern Ocean.

Russell, an associate professor of geosciences, is a principal investigator for the NSF’s Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling project. The project is run

by Princeton University and the floats deployed by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Currently, the project has deployed 57 of 200 “floats” in the Antarctic. The floats are missile-shaped tanks that submerge to gather data at the 1,000and 2,000-meter level. The data is available within eight hours, she said.

That data is combined with atmospheric observations to create a more complete picture of the effect of a warming world on the world’s climate.

The Southern Ocean absorbs half the world’s carbon production and most of its heat, Russell said.

Measuring it is important but difficult.

Research cruises are expensive and can only be undertaken during the southern summer.

“The Southern Ocean is the hardest to observe, because it is so far from ship-enriched countries.

It has incredibly bad weather. The westerlies are 30 percent stronger and they beat you to death with icebergs, massive waves and wind.”

The floats deployed by SOCCOM

provide data yearlong. It will allow scientists to see how much the ocean is warming and what affect that has. “We’re actually watching the acidification of the ocean in real time,” she said.

The data collected will also serve as a check on treaty promises to reduce carbon emissions and help predict our climate future, Russell said. “We don’t have any crystal ball except math and supercomputers,” she said. “This is the new picture of oceanography. It’s a revolution. We’re going to change the world.”

Russell said the work could not have been done at the UA 10 years ago, but the computing power and speed has grown exponentially in the past few years.

Russell, who recently resigned as chair of the Research Computing Governance Committee, said the computing center generates $200 million a year in grants.

“It’s shocking really. This is one of those ‘Stone Soup’ things where everyone brings their good stuff to the table. And this happened during the recession. It’s the best thing about being here. We know we’re not Harvard. We know someone is not going to give us $200 million to buy a supercomputer. We’re all basically chipping in to support the university,” Russell said.

POLICE BEAT

BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120

Who put the coke in there?

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was informed of a lost wallet carrying a fake Mississippi driver’s license and a small bag containing a white, powdery substance, believed to be cocaine, on Nov. 9. The wallet, found in Second Street Parking Garage, contained seven debit and credit cards and other people’s identification.

The officer contacted the owner of the wallet who wasn’t aware of her missing belongings until receiving an email notifying her.

The female told the officer she purchased the fake ID last year with several other females in her dorm, paying $20 to $40 for it.

When the officer asked about the cocaine, she denied it was ever hers and said she had no idea how it got there. The officer didn’t charge her for anything because the cocaine could have potentially been placed in her wallet while lost.

All items were placed in evidence and a further investigation commence.

Best of Police Beat, April 20, 2011: Drunk and deceitful On April 15 a UAPD officer, patrolling Euclid Avenue, noticed two women in a parking lot north of the Aggie House.

One of the women was squatting next to a brick pillar and appeared to be urinating.

As the officer approached her and shined his vehicle’s spotlight on the woman, she immediately stood up and fixed her clothing.

When the officer asked for her identification, she gave her name and said that she didn’t have a license.

She also said she didn’t have an address because her parents had moved from California to Phoenix.

A records check on the name and information given to the officer showed no result.

The woman then admitted that she had given false information.

When she told the officer her real information, the results indicated that she was underage.

The officer then arrested her for minor in possession, criminal littering and false reporting.

She was cited and released on scene.

Mexico’s ambassador: We’re ready to ‘modernize’ NAFTA

BY GABRIELA RICO THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE)

Mexico’s new ambassador to the U.S. says the country is prepared to “modernize” the North American Free Trade Agreement and wants to restart a guest-worker system that could address concerns about illegal immigration.

“There is no need to fight each other,” Carlos Manuel Sada said during a private meeting Monday with political and business leaders at Hacienda del Sol Resort. “We are working together in order to compete with the rest of the world.”

In response to the U.S. presidentelect’s criticism of NAFTA and calls for a renegotiation, Sada said Mexico realizes the benefits of the agreement have not been properly recognized in either country.

“The battle of public opinion, we have lost so far,” he said, adding that both countries must educate their citizens about the agreement.

Efforts such as renaming the agreement or a campaign to promote its benefits could ease tensions about NAFTA, he said.

“We need to emphasize the data, the job growth in the U.S. because of NAFTA,” Sada said. “We complement each other.”

What is the history of Cranksgiving?

OM: Cranksgiving is an event started in New York City by bike messengers. If someone wants to start an event where they live, they’re welcome to. Over the last few years, the events have really gained popularity because of the fun involved.

How can UA students get involved?

Students register with us and bike from grocery store to grocery store buying food.

The route will be between five and 10 miles. We want them to collect as much food as possible.

Where does the food come from?

OM: Participants are competing in the event. Each individual will spend 15 to 20 dollars buying food for the event. People don’t have to spend a lot of money, or they can spend all the money in the world, but participants go from grocery store to grocery store buying food to donate.

Where does the food go?

Mexico now has trade agreements with 46 countries and is negotiating with Turkey and Jordan.

There is about 40 percent of U.S. content in Mexican exports. Auto production, for example, requires the movement of components across the border up to eight times during the manufacturing process, he said.

“We don’t just buy and sell from each other,” Sada said. “We produce together ... and compete with the rest of the world.”

He said as part of modernizing NAFTA, the movement of workers across the border must be reinstated.

He said many expatriates have expressed a desire to return to Mexico and maintain their homes and families there.

“The circular migration of the past was broken and that’s when the problems began,” Sada said.

“We need to re-establish the movement.”

Dennis Minano, chairman of the Sun Corridor Inc. Board of Directors, co-hosted the ambassador along with Mexico’s Tucson consul, Ricardo Piñeda.

Minano called it a “high honor” that Sada chose Tucson as the first city to visit on his U.S. tour.

The ambassador expressed his delight with the recent successes in Tucson recruiting and expanding businesses, such as Home Goods, Caterpillar and Raytheon, Minano said.

“He sees the potential in Tucson’s new economic model,” he said.

Sada was expected to visit Nogales Tuesday to see the Mariposa Port of Entry, which he last visited 20 years ago.

OPINIONS The Electoral College is for all of America Wednesday — Thursday Nov. 30 — Dec. 1 Page 7

Editor: Scott Felix opinion@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579

BY CLAUDIA DRACE @claudiadrace

T

he Electoral College is rejected by many U.S. citizens because it either seems pointless or unfair, but it plays an important role in making elections more fair for a broader area of the country.

At first glance, it is easy to see how the Electoral College is a roundabout way to pick a president when they could be chosen based on the popular vote. It only seems fair, right? The candidate who won the majority gets to be the next president.

But, just like most governmental systems, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye.

This year’s presidential election was the fifth time in history that the president elect did not win the popular vote.

This may make the Electoral College system seem obsolete, because it normally it’s perceived to have very little effect on the outcome of the election, and when it does have an effect it doesn’t seem like the reasonable solution.

However, while the outcome may not be perfectly fair, the system itself gives a greater voice to the American people who would not have a voice in a fully democratic system.

One reason why some people disagree with the Electoral College is it’s distribution of electoral votes.

For example, California has the highest population in the U.S., with 38.8 million people, and 55 gets electoral votes. That means that for around every 705,454 voters in California there is one electoral vote.

Wyoming, on the other hand, is the least populated state in the U.S. There are only 584,153 people who live in Wyoming.

This means that because Wyoming has three electoral votes, the ratio between electorates and people is one vote for every 194,717 voters.

Still seems unjustified doesn’t it? Why does the Wyoming voter get more of a say than the California voters?

The system is skewed for a reason, because without the Electoral College, the voters in Wyoming would be very unimportant in deciding election

outcomes. Candidates might never even have to visit the state, or any other small state for that matter.

Even though in the current system the people of Wyoming have around 3.6 times the voice of the voters in California—based on the population example—because of its large size California cannot be overlooked in the election.

There are 29 states in the U.S. with less than 10 electoral votes a piece. Without those electoral votes, which are worth more in this system than in the popular vote system, the candidates would have no reason to campaign in any of those 29 states, because they could win solely based on the big states.

In a popular vote system, not only would

big states be targeted, but big cities would especially be targeted.

Even though cities have a large impact on the state’s vote already, the state’s concerns are ideally being addressed as a whole. A candidate in the popular system could cater their campaign to the largest city in a given state and still have a successful campaign.

If cities are the only ones that the candidates campaign for, then rural voters are completely disenfranchised.

These voters still have the right to vote of course, but there is no incentive for a candidate to represent them, which would potentially hurt the livelihood of rural voters all together because the election would have hardly any bearing on them.

The Electoral College also prevents

regional candidates. In our current system, the candidates have to branch out to the other states in order to get votes, especially in the swing states.

In the popular system, if a candidate is liked enough by one area of the country, then it is likely possible for them to win based on that one region. Even though that candidate may be beneficial for a specific area of the country, it doesn’t mean they are good for the rest.

This isn’t an argument that the Electoral College is a flawless system, but it does play a more important role than most might think. There are plenty of other ways that the U.S. could vote besides the Electoral College, but the popular vote shouldn’t be one of them.

Campus zombies: Get out of your bubble

BY JULIAN CARDENAS @DailyWildcat

O

ne sees many things while walking around a university campus. A college is home to people of all ages and nationalities, beautiful buildings, tall trees and green grass. We’re lucky that our college campus is as beautiful as it is. We’re lucky that our college campus is as intricate, diverse and special as it is. As a college student, something I am particularly fond of is the ability we have to encounter various people on campus. We encounter people every day that are vastly different from us.

We aren’t secluded to one way of thought or only one particular type of person while in college. We work, study, party and learn with people who believe differently than us, were raised differently than us and are interested in different topics than us. Diversity is the essence of a college campus.

However, if we’re all so different, what is the one thing that 99 percent of all college students do? What is the unifying factor in us all, if there is one at all? It’s something we see and never quite notice, something that seems

so normal to us: we’re all plugged in. ambitions and needs on a constant basis.

I love being able to communicate with others on the phone through headphones while doing something else like walking to class or doing homework.

But I also like hearing the sound of the leaves on big trees when there is very strong wind.

I love listening to birds sing exotic songs, even when they sometimes just sound like annoying shrieks. I love listening to other people’s conversations, yes I know, this is shamed upon, but still.

College allows people the ability to share a space with highly intelligent educators, students and intellectuals. When else can we say we’re completely surrounded by some of our world’s most intelligent? Shouldn’t we embrace our surroundings then, at all times?

Shouldn’t we stop trying to block them out?

We shouldn’t be mindless zombies. We shouldn’t be dependent on brightly-lit LED screens. We shouldn’t just do things because others are doing them. We should be our own individuals selves. We should strive to go against the norm.

Making it on reality TV becomes a reality UA graduates will serve on the Inside Track panel, produced by Film Tucson and The Hanson Film Institute for students and members of the Tucson community looking to break into reality TV

BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917

Some viewers hate it, some love it and others consider it a guilty pleasure, but there’s no denying the popularity of reality TV. For students and members of the community looking to find employment opportunities in the world of non-scripted television, Film Tucson and The Hanson Film Institute are collaborating to hold another Inside Track panel all about breaking into reality television.

It has been a booming subsection of the entertainment business for the past couple decades. Audiences have been captivated by reality shows ever since they began chronicling and dramatizing the daily lives of interesting subjects.

“I always watched ‘Real World,’ ‘Cops,’ all that stuff that kind of started reality TV,” said Ryane Belafsky, a reality television producer. “It made sense to go into it because I loved it so much and I watched so much of it.”

Belafsky is one of the featured Inside Track panelists and a UA media arts alumus. After graduating in 2008, she worked a handful of different jobs in the entertainment industry, including an associate producer at Country Music Television, before taking a leap of faith and going into production.

After a little less than five years of production work, Belafsky has an impressive resume that includes producing episodes of “Last Comic Standing,” “Face Off” and “Are You the One?” to name a few. She is currently working on “OutDaughtered,” a new program on TLC about parents with a set of quintuplet daughters.

Belafsky has made some lasting connections with her cast through her job and the various programs she has been a part of.

“You’re in these people’s lives every single day and they need to trust you,” Belafsky said. “Even after shows are cancelled, you still keep in touch with people.”

Belafsky hopes her experiences and advice on producing nonscripted television will help the Inside Track attendees in their

efforts to break into the field. She advises those looking to break in to start at the bottom and be willing to work hard to rise through the ranks.

“You just learn things you can’t learn in school,” Belafsky said.

“It’s fast, I would say especially to women, and you have to work hard and smart.”

While Belafsky specializes in production, Nir Caspi is bringing his experience as an non-scripted television agent to the panel. Caspi, a graduate of UA’s Eller College of Management, found his way into reality television after spending several years developing phone apps with a friend.

Caspi said he originally wanted to work his way up to being a talent agent when he first got a job in the talent agency’s mailroom.

But when a desk opened up in non-scripted television, he snagged the opportunity.

“Really quickly I fell in love with the business,” said Caspi, a William Morris Endeavor nonscripted agent. “I kind of fell into this department, but I’m glad that I did. I always say that if I was in another department, I may not be here today.”

As a non-scripted agent, Caspi represents production companies, producers and talent that creates all kinds of nonfiction programs.

While reality shows are the main focus of the Inside Track panel, non-scripted agents like Caspi work in everything from game shows to documentaries.

Caspi is working with reality television production companies like GRB and Screening Fleet that produce “Intervention” and “Hoarders,” respectively, and also represents documentary filmmakers like “Amanda Knox” filmmaker Brian McGinn.

Caspi also helps bring together clients in order to create packages for nonfiction ideas to be sold to networks.

“Right now, I represent a filmmaker who just did a documentary and I’m partnering him up with one of our bigger production companies to develop a concept for television to take out to the market,” Caspi said. “We try to add elements here internally to help

10 Steps to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain 1. Be realistic. Instead of trying to lose weight over the holidays, concentrate on maintaining weight.

2. Move!!! Whether a daily walk, a drop-in yoga class, or a short term membership at your local gym, get out most days and exercise.

3. Calories add up. Fifty here, fifty there and you can gain a pound or two. Think before popping one of mom’s cookies in your mouth every time you walk in the kitchen.

4. Take smaller amounts. Eat thoughtfully. Enjoy your food, but not in a mindless quantity. Put some in the freezer so you can bring some of your favorite things back to school to enjoy later in January.

5. Fill your plate: first vegetables and fruit, next protein (poultry, meats, fish, eggs, beans, soy foods). Then take much smaller amounts of starchy carbs, or just pick your most favorite (stuffing, potatoes, rice, rolls, etc.). Go easy on butter, nuts, chips, dips, salad dressings, candy, fudge, cookies, cheeses, whipped cream, sour cream, salami and sausages.

6. Wait a while. You’ll enjoy dessert more at least two hours after a big meal. Bonus: this will replace the

additional 700+ calorie snack of leftovers you might usually have.

7. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and only moderate amounts of caffeinated beverages. Limit high-calorie beverages: regular sodas, punch, eggnog, and fancy coffee drinks.

8. Limit alcohol. You’ll avoid the calories from the alcohol itself, as well as the additional calories you are likely to eat from its appetitestimulating effects... not to mention limiting risks associated with having too much alcohol.

9. Cut your stress. Our society focuses on material things, but you can make a conscious effort to fill your break with thoughtfulness, balance, and leisure. Many of us have expectations that will never be met. Focus on what is good, doable and present, rather than what is missing or impossible. Stress can drive any of us to mindless, unending feeding frenzies.

10. Get some rest. Lack of sleep can bring emotions to the surface and create a short fuse. Also, we tend to eat more if we’re tired. Be sure to get your zzz’s.

Happy, peaceful holidays to all of you!

ESPRESSO YOURSELF

EVENT ADVERTISEMENT FOR MANZANIAMOHAVE Resident Hall’s event Espresso Yourself on Friday, Dec. 2.

Espresso Yourself is an artistic event where attendees can perform, create art, eat pastries and drink coffee.

Keep calm and Espresso Yourself

BY ELIZABETH QUINLAN @eliz_quinlan

Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall’s Espresso Yourself is the perfect chance for students to perform, be a part of a gallery or just sit back with a cup of coffee and some pastries and watch as peers and local performers make art through music and painting.

The campus-wide program is happening outside this year, with both a wooden and rug stage for performers, canvases for painters and other seating for attendees, according to Gabriella Viera, a physiology senior on the Hall Council. There will be food for all dietary needs, with coffee being served throughout the night alongside tea, lemonade and more.

Manzanita-Mohave, which is the Arts District Theme Community according to Residence Life’s website, encourages students to express themselves freely through their art while also having a fun time snacking on pastries and coffee.

Espresso Yourself gives venues and students a chance to advertise their talents with performances like UA’s Black N’ Blue Hip Hop Crew, Dolce Voces A Capella, Amplified A Cappella and UA students.

Vi Ramassini, a microbiology sophomore, is most excited for the free coffee, but thinks “the performance aspect just seems very interesting” and that this event is a good opportunity for her to connect with members of Residence Hall Association.

Delaney Thomas, a sophomore studying art education and psychology, plans to perform a poetry piece that she wrote.

“I have always enjoyed writing poetry and am a published author for it, actually,” Thomas said. “Recently over the past year though, I have loved performing slam poetry.”

This is truly a chance for students to express themselves in a new and unique way that not only includes performing on a stage, but painting on canvases, too.

“Essentially to me, I think the fact that there really isn’t anything like it on college campuses … makes it really special and beautiful,” Ramassini added.

The hall council station will be providing students with all the required materials to paint something for themselves, including one canvas per student, according to Viera.

“We also have room in our gallery if you would like to showcase drawings, fashion designs, architecture designs, etc.,” Viera wrote on the event’s Facebook page.

If creating isn’t your style, sit back and enjoy the performances with a nice cup of coffee. Espresso Yourself provides alternative options for people with dietary needs, including iced tea, tea, lemonade and hot cocoa.

The pastries will be catered for by Costco, Dedicated, AJ’s and Beyond Bread and covers all dietary needs, including sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan, according to Viera.

The event is also promoting sustainability and urges students to bring their own mugs or cups if they can to minimize the waste from this event.

Espresso Yourself will take place Friday, Dec. 2 from 8-11 p.m. and has a Facebook page and google doc for people who are interested in performing or featuring their art in the gallery.

NETFLIX; AMAZON; UNITED ARTISTS

PROMOTIONAL IMAGES FOR NETFLIX’S “Barry,” Amazon’s “Mozart In The Jungle” and Francis Copolla’s “Apocalypse Now.” These shows and movies will start streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video and Hulu, respectively, in December.

Amazon, Hulu give Netflix competition this month

BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie

A

s the winter weather settles in and the stress of finals makes its way to the surface, many students will find themselves on the verge of a mental breakdown. Luckily, we have streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime to help us try and relax.

Netflix still reigns supreme of the available online streaming services. A fair amount of quality content will hit the site in December, so make sure to check it out—even if the offerings may not be quite as strong as some months prior.

Netflix One of the biggest hits of the month will likely come in the second season of the Netflix original series “Fuller House,” which will begin streaming Dec. 9. The first season of “Fuller House” had massive shoes to fill as the sequel series to “Full House,” one of the most beloved family sitcoms of all time.

Did it fill those shoes? Not really. But hopefully season two does a better job at carrying on the “Full House” legacy.

Dec. 9 will also make way for science fiction film “Spectral,” starring Emily Mortimer and Bruce Greenwood. Anyone in the mood for mindless sci-fi action should feel right at home.

The Obama era of America will soon end, but anyone feeling nostalgic toward good old Barry O. will enjoy the drama film “Barry” when it streams Dec. 16. The film takes a look at Obama’s college years and has received mostly positive reviews so far.

Marvel fans will have something to look

forward to when “Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War” becomes available Dec. 25. “Civil War” was one of the strongest entries yet into the Marvel canon, pitting Captain America and Iron Man against each other in an ultimate superhero showdown—every comic book geek’s ultimate dream.

Netflix may seem like No. 1, but we still can’t forget about the other streaming options out there. Hulu cannot compete with Netflix in terms of original content, but it definitely holds its own in terms of movies available.

Hulu Great movies like “Pulp Fiction,” “Apocalypse Now,” “American Beauty” and “The Truman Show” will all become available on Dec. 1. Ironically, “American Beauty” becomes available on Hulu the same day that it becomes unavailable on Netflix.

“Apocalypse Now” is quite possibly the greatest war film of all time, and “The Truman Show” showcased one of Jim Carrey’s best performances to date. Hulu has some great movies here, so definitely check them out.

Amazon Prime Instant Video Amazon also has some good stuff to add to its streaming repertoire come December.

This includes several movies and plenty of original content.

Two of Amazon’s most highly acclaimed series will get new seasons next month. Dec. 9 will see season three of the Amazon original series “Mozart in the Jungle,” and Dec. 16 will make way for season two of Amazon original “The Man in the High Castle,” an alternative history series loosely based on the novel by Philip K. Dick.

With all the content offered from these streaming sites, even the most dedicated binge watchers should find themselves satisfied in the month of December.

How many times can you get caught with alcohol in your dorm before you get evicted?

According to UA Residence Life policies, residents may be evicted for repeated use or possession of alcohol (meaning the second time you are caught you could be out). If you are in possession

of large amounts of alcohol, whether you are underage or over 21 years old, you can be kicked out. The policy also states that students can be evicted for a first offense.

Is it legal to walk around with alcohol if you are over 21?

Laws vary from state to state. In Arizona, it’s illegal to walk around in public with alcohol. If you are on private property or in designated areas (such as football game tailgating areas or homecoming

tents), it’s allowed. About 20 cities in the US (Las Vegas, New Orleans, Sonoma, CA, etc.) allow public drinking in most or all areas. Some states allow it in specially designated “Entertainment Districts.”

Is the punishment for getting caught with beer the same as for hard alcohol?

Yes. It doesn’t matter how strong your drink of choice is; what matters is that your drink contains alcohol. So, if you’re under 21, a Keystone Light,

a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, or Jägermeister are all grounds for an MIP (Minor In Possession).

What advice to you have for beer drinkers only?

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Life is too short to drink cheap beer”? The Red Cup recommends “quality over quantity” every time. Actually, beer drinkers may remember their nights better because they are more likely to reach lower Blood Alcohol

Concentrations (BAC) than drinkers who pound shots of hard liquor. So, enjoy the extra time it takes to drink a 12 ounce beer, compared to a quick one ounce shot or “handle pull.”

Finding your sweet spot is all about moderation.

SCIENCE EM Drive: Space travel revolution or distraction?

Wednesday — Thursday Nov. 30 — Dec. 1 Page 12

Editor: Logan Nagel science@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579

BY HANNAH DAHL @DailyWildcat

NASA’s peer-reviewed paper on the revolutionary Electromagnetic Drive— colloquially known as the EM Drive—has finally arrived, and it’s created quite a stir in the scientific community.

NASA’s Eagleworks Laboratory, the group that tested the EM Drive, released evidence claiming the EM Drive really does work, challenging Newton’s third law in the process.

“It’s an interesting story in that it seems to be an inexplicable technology development; nobody can really explain why it works,” said Tom Jones, former NASA astronaut and UA alumnus.

The EM Drive is a propulsion system which produces 1.2 millinewtons of force for every kilowatt of thrust.Propulsion normally works in concordance with Newton’s third law, meaning that for every action there is a reaction, said physicist Giorgio Torrieri, UA Ph.D. holder and professor at the State University of Campinas in Brazil.

For example, a rocket expels exhaust in order to travel upwards. But this isn’t the case with the EM Drive.

“What [the researchers] claim they have found is movement without a reaction,” Torrieri said. “They found that with [applying electromagnetic radiation to a chamber of ] a particular sort of shape, you get a movement without needing to burn any fuel. This violates conservation of energy and conservation of movement.”

According to Torrieri, the electromagnetic propulsion aspect of the EM Drive is not what causes it to defy the laws of physics. While electromagnetic propulsion may not be uncommon, the downside is it produces a small reaction and acceleration, making it much weaker than chemical-fueled rockets, Torrieri said.

Propulsion systems can be ranked based on efficiency, starting with chemical propellant, moving on to more efficient electrical propulsion and ending with nuclear electric propulsion, Jones said. The EM Drive falls under a more exotic category, alongside systems such as solar sails and magnetohydrodynamic propulsion.

“Assuming [the EM Drive] actually proves to be physically possible, it would fall into the category of a very efficient engine that could be used for very low thrust attitude control,” Jones said.

Torrieri explained that, while the EM Drive may not need propellant, the

amount of thrust it produces is very small. Though this may mean the thrust is weaker, the proposed electromagnetic propulsion could run for months. “You wouldn’t be able to leave Earth, but if you start from space, you’d be able to accelerate to very high velocities because you’re constantly accelerating.”

While this low level of thrust may not be able to send humans to the Moon, it could potentially be used for a communications satellite, reconnaissance satellite or weather satellite, Jones said. The drive’s ability to stay on for long periods of time could also open up areas of the outer solar system that were previously out of reach for chemical-propelled rockets.

“This engine might fit into robot spacecraft powering around the inner solar system, to go and explore the planets,” Jones said. “And then if we develop a nuclear power source for use in orbit in space, then you could take that same technology and apply it to the outer solar system.”

In addition to thrust, energy efficiency is another issue to take into account when

thinking about space travel.

“The biggest drawback seems to be that it eats up a lot of electricity for not a lot of thrust, and when you’re dealing with spacecraft powered by solar panels, electricity is not easy to come by,” Jones said. “So at this point, the demand seems to be a more robust power system.”

According to Jones, the key to developing this power system is nuclear power. And while nuclear propulsion has long since been a proposed route for space exploration, NASA is hesitant to experiment with it. Both the cost of development and the fact that the reactors would have to be tested here on Earth has caused NASA to be very reluctant in pursuing this, Jones said.

“Maybe the developers will be able to make this more efficient in terms of power and more productive in terms of thrust,” Jones said. “Then over time they’ll develop a more practical engine that might be able to deal with larger spacecraft masses and real mission profile needs.”

Torrieri explained that from a physics

perspective, scaling up the EM Drive so that it could power larger human-sized spacecraft is not the priority.

“I would say that before talking about spacecraft, one has to really make sure beyond reasonable doubt that this isn’t an experimental error, which it very likely is,” Torrieri said. “Physicists should be focused on finding every possible explanation for why this could occur without violating the laws of physics.”

Both Torrieri and Jones agree that the EM Drive needs to be tested further before its efficacy can be determined.

“There are these people who claim they see an effect, but considering how revolutionary it is, you need amazing evidence, and at the moment I don’t think this evidence is there,” Torrieri said. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary measures.”

Jones remains more optimistic. “If this thing goes from a crude, experimental device to something practical in 20 or 30 years, even 10 years, then we might revolutionize the way we can explore the solar system.”

SPORTS Arizona football’s five offseason needs Wednesday — Thursday Nov. 30 — Dec. 1 Page 14

Editor: Saul Bookman sports@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

I

t is a quiet Monday morning on campus, but dozens of players in the Arizona football weight room are prepping for next season.

Understandably so—the team was at the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference the entire season, saving face with a win over rival ASU. Saving face locally—yes; nationally—no.

The Wildcats went from the penthouse to the cellar really quick and, until the last game of the season, showed no promise for the future as they became one of the laughing stocks in college football. Alas, the future is here and these are a few ways the football program can rebound both next season and long term.

1

Recruiting Make no mistake, this year is as important as there ever has been for UA football.

Coaches Marcel Yates and Donte’ Williams were brought in to not only improve the defense, but make waves in recruiting.

Head coach Rich Rodriguez finally realized that you can’t go after two- and three-star players and miss; the drop off is too severe.

So, they are rectifying it by bringing in a top-25 class headlined by star athlete Greg Johnson, quarterback Braxton Burmeister and running back Nathan Tilford. In addition, only one recruit in the class is listed as a twostar prospect.

Burmeister is the interesting prospect for Arizona fans. He is a dual-threat quarterback and is widely believed to make a push for immediate playing time, especially after the inconsistent year at the position this season.

Tilford is another piece that could reap immediate dividends for the Wildcats. He is tall at 6-foot-2, but his stride and power resemble that of former Alabama running back and second-round NFL draft selection Derrick Henry. USC, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Nebraska also heavily recruited Tilford, the No. 14 player at his position.

This year’s signing day will be one of the more anticipated in some time, and if things hold strong, it will be a good one for the Wildcats.

2

Texas Why Texas? Though it probably won’t happen, the Wildcats need to go back to this state for recruits in a desperate way.

When asked if he had given any thought to recruiting in Texas, Rodriguez said, “Why, because everything is bigger in Texas?”

Well, yes, coach. Yes it is. This is something that former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops knew and took advantage of on several occasions, bringing in guys like Earl Mitchell.

It is too close in proximity to ignore, and the size and type of linemen desperately needed on both sides of the ball can be found in Texas.

It is worth taking a look. The program literally passes up this giant state to get to Louisiana, where it has had success. Can’t it make a pit stop in Houston, Dallas or San Antonio?

Programs like Houston rise up because it finally took advantage of the talent that was in its backyard. The same could be said for Arizona if it chooses to look that way.

3

Fans There is no other way to put it than finding a way to bring the fans back. The ZonaZoo was a ghost town the majority of the season. The rest of the stadium, mostly the newly renovated north endzone all the way to the southwest corner, was desolate.

Perhaps the solution isn’t to pump up the crowd on a continuous basis thus becoming so repetitive that no one is truly enthusiastic about any of it. It’s tiresome and played out.

Fans aren’t going to get pumped up for a second down and 30 in a game their team is down by 40. There is too much of an attempt to manufacture excitement, and it isn’t playing well with students.

4

Slogan The football team was bad, yes, but a case could be made that the #OurHouse motto was even worse. The theme itself made no sense; it was seclusive and made fans feel that it was a privilege to come watch one of the worst seasons in recent memory. It also seemed very arbitrary. Was there no other option? Perhaps next season they will go with “Make Arizona Great Again.” Just a thought.

People get paid to make these decisions and come up with creative ways to engage fans, and this slogan was step one in a series of missteps that led to a decline of butts in seats at Arizona Stadium. This is something that has to be rectified immediately for an athletic department seeking funding for renovations.

5

Development This may be the more concerning issue when it comes to Rodriguez and his staff.

Are they capable of taking a talent and making them NFL-worthy?

Thus far, the answer has been no. Ka’Deem Carey was a Stoops recruit and Scooby Wright III is on the practice squad for the Cleveland Browns, leaving Will Parks as the only Arizona Rich Rod recruit to see legitimate playing time in the NFL, ever.

So is it a matter of the player or the program?

Both. The type of player that has come through the Arizona football offices has left a lot to be desired—senior wide receiver Samajie Grant has said as much.

No passion, no work ethic and no drive to be the best is a recipe for a failure of a program.

Rodriguez says he cares, says his staff cares and says his players care, but all the care in the world doesn’t do a thing if the work isn’t being put in.

Gonzaga set to challenge Wildcats yet again Arizona basketball faces the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Saturday for another installment of this blossoming West Coast rivalry. Can the Wildcats come out on top a fourth straight time?

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

Arizona basketball travels to Los Angeles to face No. 8 Gonzaga at the STAPLES Center in the Hoophall LA game presented by the Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday.

These two programs can always promise a close, hard-fought game. Arizona won the last two matchups by a total of eight points.

Despite the close games the two schools have had, both had nothing but positive things to say about the other during the Hoop Hall conference call.

“We have had a great relationship with the UA,” said Gonzaga head coach Mark Few. “I think Arizona is one of the most amazing at building and sustaining success. They’re versatile and athletic and [Arizona head coach] Sean [Miller] always has them as one of the tougher defensive teams in the country.”

Despite not being in the same conference, Arizona and Gonzaga seem to match up every season. Arizona and Gonzaga will face off for the fourth year in a row, with the Wildcats taking the last three matchups.

Former Gonzaga stars Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis are both in the NBA now, but Gonzaga is still a force to be reckoned with.

“They always have a tremendous frontline and they know how to put you in

foul trouble,” Miller said.

With the blossoming rivalry set to resume Saturday, we take a look back at some of the more notable games in the series history.

2003

Arizona won this double-overtime thriller 96-95 in the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament.

Wildcats Jason Gardner and Channing Frye each had 22 points while Luke Walton added 16 points, nine assists, six rebounds and three steals. Walton went toe-to-toe with future Los Angeles Laker teammate and Bulldog Ronny Turiaf and helped the top-ranked Wildcats get the win over Gonzaga.

2011

“

that saw the Wildcats go 23-12 and miss the tournament. This was also the last time Arizona missed the tournament in Miller’s tenure.

[Gonzaga has] had a great relationship with the UA. I think Arizona is one of the most amazing at building and sustaining success.

They’re versatile and athletic and [Arizona head coach] Sean [Miller] always has them as one of the tougher defensive teams in the country.”

—Mark Few,

2014

Topseeded Arizona met Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in March and beat the Bulldogs handily to the tune of 8461. Arizona’s freshmen phenoms Rondae HollisJefferson and Aaron Gordon led the way as both contributed 18 points to stuff the stat-sheet.

Gordon had six rebounds, six assists and four steals, while Hollis-Jefferson had five rebounds, five assists and four blocks in the win.

half in what was a seesaw affair in McKale Center. Byron Wesley had three free-throws to extend the game to double overtime but wound up missing all three in a 6663 loss to Arizona, just a day after Oregon demolished the Wildcats in the Pac-12 Football Championship.

2015

Much like this year’s Michigan State game, Arizona fell behind early and looked on the verge of being blown out. The Wildcats battled back in the second half before beating Gonzaga on the road 68-63. Every time it looked Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer put the game out of reach, Gabe York or Allonzo Trier responded with baskets of their own.

Arizona erased a 14-point lead and came out on top in a tough win at Gonzaga.

GONZAGA VS. ARIZONA

2014

Arizona In Gonzaga head coach freshman Nick Johnson what was the game of had 13 points and six the year for Arizona, 40 assists in what was a minutes was not enough rare loss to Gonzaga. Elias Harris had to determine a winner in this December 25 points in a 71-60 win over Arizona. matchup.

Pac-12 basketball power rankings: Lonzo Ball leads Bruins to top of conference

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

1. UCLA

2. ARIZONA

Lonzo Ball has been balling out so far for the undefeated Bruins.

If they can defeat Kentucky on Saturday, we still might not even know if they are for real. UCLA beat Kentucky and then missed the tournament last year.

Having only eight players receive minutes can really tire out your team. If only Lauri Markkanen could play the whole game, then the Wildcats would not have to worry.

3. OREGON

4. USC

Dillon Brooks is back from his foot injury and is shooting poorly like all of Oregon’s wing players. Tyler Dorsey is the only one shooting above 40 percent from the field, which is bad, not good.

The Trojans are picking up votes in the AP Poll and could make their way into the top-25 fairly soon. UCLA may be the Pac-12 darling at the moment, but its crosstown rival is certainly flying under the radar.

5. COLORADO The Buffaloes face Colorado State and Portland before a tough matchup with No. 7 Xavier at home next week. Their football team has already shocked the Pac-12, so why can’t their basketball team do the same?

6. UTAH Butler is on a mission of Pac-12 demolition after it beat Utah. Maybe replacing the conference Player of the Year is not an easy task? The Utes should still be a solid team come tournament time, however.

7. CALIFORNIA

8. STANFORD

The Golden Bears have what looks like an easy schedule before facing No. 6 Virginia at home near the end of December. Just like last year, the Golden Bears will likely fluctuate in and out of the top-25 all season.

Football season is coming to an end, so Nerd Nation must eventually turn to basketball. And by basketball, I mean the Golden State Warriors because why would you watch the Cardinal?

9. WASHINGTON

10. ASU

Markelle Fultz is averaging 23 points, five rebounds and six assists per game for a 4-2 Huskies team. Watching Washington implement the “pass the ball to Will” offense is must-see basketball.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Kentucky demolished the Sun Devils. The fact they went through with that game is either brave or irrational on their part. They still have potential to be a Cinderella NIT squad.

11. WASHINGTON STATE With the injury to Oregon State forward Tres Tinkle, Washington State might not end up being the worst team in the conference.

The Cougars won one conference game, so this year’s goal of two conference wins is much more attainable now.

12. OREGON STATE Tres Tinkle could miss two months, so the Beavers’ season might already be over. Oregon State might not make another tourney bid until another Gary Payton comes to the program. The last time the Beavers made the tournament without a Payton was back in 1985.

The No. 1 song in America was “Can’t Fight the Feeling” by REO Speedwagon and Michael Jordan was a rookie.

WILDCAT HEATHER NEWBERRY/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA LIBERO LAURA LARSON focuses on a bump during a match against Stanford on Saturday, Nov. 19 in McKale Center. The Wildcats will take on Cleveland State in the first round of the NCAA tournament this Friday at 3 p.m.

NCAA tourney beckons Arizona volleyball for fourth straight season

BY NIKKI BAIM @nikkibaim22

Arizona women’s volleyball is going dancing for the fourth consecutive season.

The Wildcats will face Cleveland State (25-5, 14-2 Horizon League) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday at 3 p.m., in East Lansing, Michigan.

The match will be hosted by the No. 9 seed Michigan State. If the Wildcats advance after Friday’s match, they will face the winner of Michigan State and Fairfield.

“I’m looking forward to making the trip over there to East Lansing,” Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said on a Twitter video by Arizona Volleyball. “Michigan State and Cleveland State are both great opponents, and we’ll play Cleveland State and give it our best shot.”

The draw for Arizona is not an easy one, as it’s part of the bracket features a virtual murderer’s row of competition, placing Nebraska and Penn State—winners of eight out of the last 10 national championships— in the Wildcats’ region. To make matters more difficult, the Wildcats may have to face fellow Pac-12 Conference foe Washington in a potential Regional matchup, already having lost to the Huskies twice this season.

The Pac-12, considered the second best conference behind the Big 10 this season, will also feature Washington State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah and Oregon in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

The No. 1 seeds selected in the bracket are Nebraska (27-2), Minnesota (25-4), Texas

(22-4) and Wisconsin (25-4). Arizona has only faced one of the four No. 1 seeds this season, getting swept by then-No. 4 Wisconsin in Hawaii early in the season.

“You feel like what you’re going to face in the tournament is something you have already dealt with and already expereienced in the conference like the Pac-12,” Rubio said. “We feel pretty confident that what we faced in the conference is going to prepare us for what we’re going to see against Cleveland State.”

The NCAA is previewing a new format for the tournament this season which omits predetermined regional sites. The seeded team of each region will host the first and second rounds, meaning if Arizona advances, both matches will be played in East Lansing.

Arizona finished the season on a sour note by losing at rival ASU, and the Wildcats ended with an 18-14 overall record and 1010 in the Pac-12.

This is the 19th time head coach David Rubio has taken the Wildcats to the tournament and 28th appearance in school history. Arizona has one Final Four appearances in 2001, but is yet to advance further.

The senior starters will be looking for the program’s first national championship this year, on their fourth and final trip to the tournament.

“They certainly have a lot to play for,” Rubio said. “I’m really proud of those girls and how they led the team throughout the season and we’ll just see how it comes throughout this week.”
