UA ranks high as cycling friendly

BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat

The UA has been named one of the top universities in the country for its bike-friendly campus.

Nationwide, universities are ranked as Bicycle Friendly Universities by the League of American Bicyclists. This year, the UA made the cut and received a gold ranking.

The League of American Bicyclists is an organization that protects and educates people on the safety of bicycles and cyclists.

Its mission is to spread awareness of bicycle safety and make the country more bicycle-friendly.

Of the 127 universities recognized by the league, the UA was one of 12 to receive a gold ranking and plans to receive the platinum ranking within the next four years. The platinum ranking is the highest level of achievement, with only five universities taking this rank.

Florence Dei Ochoa, marketing and public information manager for Parking and Transportation Services, explained why the UA has received this ranking in an article for UA at Work.

“The entire region is known for its favorable bike environment,” Dei Ochoa said. “The climate allows for nearly year-round bike riding; on a congested campus, it’s important for students to have other means than singleoccupancy vehicles to get around campus.”

According to UA at Work, to qualify as a bicycle-friendly university, the campus must welcome cyclists of all skill levels and provide the proper tools needed to travel around campus.

Universities are required to inform students and employees about the areas they are able to travel by bike and areas where they can’t.

According to the article in UA at Work, PTS reported that about 10,000 bikes are ridden on campus per day.

Kimberly Henderson, a neuroscience and Spanish sophomore, said she has not had bad experiences biking on campus.

“I really don’t ever get into

The bicycle racks outside Coronado Residence Hall jammed with bikes for the 776 students that live in the dorm. The UA has recently been named as one of the most bike-friendly colleges in the U.S.

complications, but there are a lot of bikers so sometimes finding somewhere to park my bike gets kind of annoying,” Henderson said. “I really enjoy riding my bike to class because the bike routes are well-respected by cars and pedestrians. I always feel safer riding my bike to class because strangers never approach you and [they] just let you be.”

The UA services cyclists with a bike valet and enclosure that allows students and employees to leave their bicycles in a secure area in front of the Nugent building. With the valet, students on campus are able to leave

without having to lock their bike in individual spaces.

PTS encourages students and employees to make suggestions for improving steps toward the next four years in achieving the platinum-level ranking.

Leah Kaplan, a chemical engineering sophomore, shared her experiences with cycling around campus and the all-toocommon crime of bike theft.

“I live on campus, so I don’t have to deal with biking to campus, but I do bike to classes about three days a week,” Kaplan said. “It’s sometimes more convenient to walk if my classes

are close together because there are so many pedestrians and other bikers I have to watch out for, which can be difficult.”

Kaplan said she parks her bicycle in front of the building where her class is.

“A big concern of bikers on campus is bike theft, which continues to happen regularly and I know a few people whose bikes were stolen,” she said.

Ronstadt Transit Center undergoes remodel

BY Nick Johnson The Daily Wildcat

Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild and the Tucson City Council chose Peach Properties last month for a development project on city-owned land.

The 4.7 acres of city land is currently the site of the new Ronstadt Transit Center. The City of Tucson, in agreement with Peach Properties, is planning to turn the land on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Congress Street into a hotel.

Peach Properties recently adopted a development plan that intends to build 256 residential units, a 144 room hotel conference center and a proposed space for commercial and retail sites.

The project proposal indicates that the new transit center and hotel will create approximately 433 direct jobs, 537 indirect and induced jobs and 126 permanent jobs.

Total construction cost of the development project is expected to be $117,252,526.

This includes the construction of the hotel, a north and south building for commercial and residential use, a parking structure, an upgraded transit center and a pedestrian bridge. The total project cost is estimated to be $176,518,572.

According to Peach Properties, several UA departments have shown interest in the downtown location. The most recent proposal is for a UA Arts and Sciences Center building, which is planned to house research and museum facilities for the university.

Zachary Burres, an aerospace engineering junior, explained his view on the project and the construction in Tucson.

“I’ve never heard of the Ronstadt Transit Center, but I would [be] happy to see new development in the downtown area,” Burres said. “Since construction always moves so slowly, I doubt I’ll be able to benefit from it.”

The Peach Properties proposal estimates that the development project plans to open in late 2019.

A pedestrian walks through a crosswalk on Euclid Avenue just south of Sixth Street on Thursday, Sept. 3. The hit-and-run collision on Saturday, Sept. 5, in which four UA students were struck, was close to the newly-lighted crosswalk.

UA drunk driving victims speak out

BY Gaby Mantica and Michele Nadler Guest Contributors

UA drunk driving victims share their story in hopes of making a difference.

On Sept. 5, five UA students were involved in a serious crash on Euclid Avenue near the UA. The five girls were crossing the street when a driver, Gerald D. Taylor, hit four of the five crossing and fled the scene. Taylor turned himself in to the authorities later that night and the crash was determined to be a hit-and-run drunk driving incident.

Out of the five girls, four were directly impacted by the vehicle. All four victims were sent to Banner—Health University Medical Center Tucson for their injuries.

One of them sustained minor injuries, two had serious injuries and one had lifethreatening injuries.

One of the students injured in the crash, Jacqueline Cialdella, described the moments immediately after being hit by the car. She said her heart stopped the minute she saw her lifelong friend, Alyssa Belder, lying unresponsive in the street. Belder had

sustained life-threatening injuries due to the crash.

“I woke up with my cheek against the street and immediately knew that we were hit,” Cialdella said. “I ran to Alyssa and began to pick up her head and shake her to get her to move out of the street. Then I felt the blood from her head running down my body. I ran to the sidewalk and proceeded to throw up until I could catch my breath.”

According to the website for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, about 290,000 people were injured in the U.S. as a result of drunk driving incidents in 2013, and 10,076 were killed. According to MADD, the organization has helped raise awareness and reduced the number of deaths from drunk driving crashes by 55 percent since its founding in 1980, saving over 300,000 lives.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has reported that 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related injuries such as drunk driving.

MADD victim service specialist Katherine Avenetti works with local Tucson families

who are grieving and have been affected by drinking and driving. She said she believes it is important to validate the feelings these families often have and that what has happened to their loved ones is unfair, and should not have happened.

“Drunk driving crashes are 100 percent preventable,” Avenetti said. “This crime does not have to happen and so many people would not be hurt or injured if people simply made one better choice.”

Although the drunk driver did not physically injure the fifth victim, Katie Dufficy, she was still affected by negative repercussions.

According to Dufficy, watching her four best friends get hit by a car has made her lose respect for anybody who chooses to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking.

“Just don’t do it,” Dufficy said. “There are so many other outlets like SafeRide or Uber.”

Dufficy said she feels fortunate that she and her four best friends are all alive after this incident, but said she does not understand why it occurred in the first place.

There are many alternatives to drinking while under the influence of alcohol such as Uber, taxis or other driving services.

Avenetti said she suggests coming up with a plan with your friends prior to going out if you know you are going to be drinking.

She said designating a non-drinking, sober driver is key to ensuring everyone’s safety.

“This incident made me realize that drinking and driving is killing innocent people everyday and needs to be stopped,” Cialdella said. “Simply calling a friend or a taxi can save thousands of lives.”

Many people fail to take the issue of drunk driving seriously, Avenetti said, because they don’t believe they can ever get caught or harm anyone.

“Drunk driving can and should end in our lifetime,” Avenetti said.

Cialdella reflected on one piece of advice to give to those after the incident.

“You will be glad that you got a safe ride home instead of harming innocent people,” she said.

POLICE BEAT

BY Meghan Fernandez The Daily Wildcat

It’s OK A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall after a resident assistant reported smelling marijuana coming from one of the rooms.

When the officer arrived at ManzanitaMohave, the RA took him to the room where the marijuana smell came from. The officer knocked on the door and a male student answered, informing the officer that he was not the resident of the room. A female student who was inside the room said she was the resident and told the officer he could come inside.

The officer told the resident why he was there, and asked her why the room smelled like marijuana. She hesitated to respond at first, but the male student told her it was OK to tell the officer.

The resident pulled out multiple containers from under her bed and desk that had marijuana residue. She also handed over a pipe with marijuana residue, as well as a grinder.

The officer noticed two posters in the resident’s room that promoted marijuana use. He then arrested and cited the girl for unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Speed Racer A non-UA student was arrested for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia after a UAPD officer pulled her over for speeding.

The female individual had been driving 13 miles per hour over the speed limit.

After pulling her over, the officer could smell marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A second officer was called in and could also smell marijuana.

The responding officer asked the driver why her car smelled like marijuana and she told the officer that she didn’t know.

The same officer asked her to step outside the vehicle and once outside she told both officers that she had marijuana in her purse and possibly in the console of her vehicle.

The second officer searched the vehicle, where he found two plastic bags containing marijuana. He then searched her purse, which had a grinder, a pipe and two plastic bags that smelled of marijuana.

The driver was arrested for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.

COMMUNITY CHATTER MAIN CAMPUS FARMERS’ MARKET On the UA Mall, Wednesday, Dec. 9, 10am-2pm

Caffeine: is it really all that bad?

Caffeine is a mild central nervous system stimulant found in coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa beans, and guarana seeds. Most experts recommend 400mg per day from all sources to get the benefits but not overdo it, depending on your (highly variable) individual caffeine sensitivity.

They also note that the benefits from caffeine are negated by a lot of cream and sugar/syrups. Watch out for those caramel macchiatos and energy drinks!

Mental stimulation. Increases alertness to better perform cognitive tasks (aka school and other work) in non-regular users. Regular users may get few, if any, benefits in their cognition.

As a quick reference, an 8 oz cup of regular coffee contains about 80-95mg of caffeine, tea 15-45mg, 12 oz cola drinks 40-50mg, and energy drinks 80-200mg. Check out this awesome list of the caffeine content of student-relevant foods and beverages at cspinet.org/nah/pdfs/caffeine2012.pdf.

It’s definitely worth a look.

Headaches. Caffeine constricts blood vessels, which are often dilated when you have a headache, alleviating pain.

Referred to as “the world’s most popular drug,” many studies are looking into the potential health impacts. Here’s a summary of what scientists have learned so far:

Getting good sleep. If not used mindfully, you can end up in a vicious cycle of poor sleep, requiring more caffeine to stay awake. Slow caffeine metabolizers can have sleep disruption even when they stop caffeine intake earlier in the day.

CAFFEINE MAY HELP:

Sleep deprivation. Keeps the sleepdeprived more alert by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain, preventing adenosine, a natural sedative, from attaching, thereby delaying or decreasing drowsiness. Regular caffeine users may need an extra boost to get this benefit.

Physical performance. Improves endurance exercise performance (running, biking, etc.), with less effect for weight lifting and sprints, by increasing fat metabolism slightly and reducing the sense of time to fatigue.

The Daily Wildcat took to the UA campus for students to give their opinions on the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado

BY Chastity Laskey

The Daily Wildcat

Last Friday, two civilians and an police officer were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The three victims were identified as mother Jennifer Markovsky, 35; Iraq veteran Ke’Arre Marcall Stewart, 29; and University of Colorado—Colorado Springs police officer Garrett Swasey, 44.

Each of the victims left behind children of their own. There were also 9 others injured in the shooting, including five officers.

The Denver Post reported that the shooting began at 11:38 a.m., and Officer Swasey was one of the first to respond. Both Stewart and Markovsky were each accompanying others to the clinic on Friday.

According to NBC News, the hours-long standoff began when the accused gunman, Robert Lewis Dear, 57, was armed with an AK-style weapon and exchanged fire with police from inside the building. On Monday, Dear made his first court appearance via video hearing. If convicted, he could face a minimum sentence of life in prison or a maximum of the death penalty.

CAFFEINE MAY HURT:

Pregnancy. Research has not been able to rule out that more than 200mg of caffeine per day would be harmful to the fetus.

Mood. Overdoing it can produce anxiety, irritability, and a loss of concentration.

“I feel like this guy not only killed people, but he made a statement and it’s really sad.

I think that this is just a moment for people to step back and think about their choices.

It’s really difficult to just come in and say you should ban all guns or not have Planned Parenthood. This is maybe a representation of the damages people cause when they make decisions so quickly.”

—Ivan Mendez, management and information systems sophomore

“I just think Planned Parenthood should advertise more about what their motive is and not just advertise abortion.

I think it’s important to have these centers open, but conservative people who are older do not understand that. That’s why they’re shooting places up, and I don’t think it’s necessary because it’s not going to make any change or stop any future abortions.” ­—Niharika Piratla, pre-business sophomore

“I think what he did was wrong and there was no reason even if he did have an opinion about Planned Parenthood. There was no reason to ever kill for that.”

Single mothers in U.S. struggle for education

BY Kassandra Manriquez

Arizona Sonora News Service

The absence of on-campus daycare centers, the cost of tuition and a traditional university structure are factors that tend to isolate single mothers attending college and challenge their success.

According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, there are over 2 million single mothers attending college in the United States.

Women with children tend to leave school with more student loan debt than students without children, according to the 2014 study.

According to Lia Pierse, Helping Hands for Single Moms Tucson executive director, who is a single mother and supported herself through college, a college education is a reliable source of economic mobility for single mothers.

Education, however, does not come without its obstacles.

Helping Hands for Single Moms is a nonprofit organization that serves lowincome single mothers and their families. The organization was founded in 2002 to address the obstacles single mothers face as they earn a college degree. The organization, which began in Phoenix, provides stipends, scholarships and other forms of aid to single mothers.

The lack of on-campus daycare centers is one of the challenges single mothers attending college face, according to Pierse and other single mothers.

“The biggest help to most single moms would be having affordable childcare on campus,” said single mother Lirio Dicochea, a Pima Community College student. “It would make such a huge difference to know that they [colleges and universities] want to make sure you can make it there and be there when you need to be.”

Of the three Arizona universities, Arizona State University is the only one that has oncampus daycare centers. While Northern Arizona University and the UA provide daycare vouchers accepted at qualified daycare centers in the city, neither has a daycare center on campus.

Aside from the cost of daycare, which can be upward of $150 a week per child, on-campus daycare centers would relieve single mothers from the added stress of traveling around town to pick up their children after and between classes.

Like many students, single mothers often rely on student loans to fund their education.

However, unlike most traditional students, single moms also have a full-time job.

Juggling a full-time job with coursework and childcare requires exhaustive time management, according to Jeanette Federico, a single mother and student at the University of Phoenix.

Federico is completing her degree at the University of Phoenix through online accelerated classes—a nontraditional path she believes fits the unique needs of single mothers.

Her hope is that more universities, like the UA, implement accelerated online classes.

In addition to the financial inaccessibility of a college education, single mothers often feel alienated on college campuses, according to Pierse.

“Going to school as a single mom can be a really isolating feeling,” Pierse said. “People are in their study groups or they’re going out.

Moms are just worried about, ‘I have to leave in five minutes to pick up my kid from daycare or else I’m going to be charged.’”

To address the issue of isolation, Helping Hands for Single Moms developed a network called the Single Mom College Community.

This network provides the space for mothers to support one another and participate in professional networking. The network also includes mentorship opportunities and motivational speakers.

From dental care to scholarships, Helping Hands for Single Moms attends to the needs of single moms and their children and has assisted over 450 families since 2002. Efforts, including those by Helping Hands for Single Moms, help financially mobilize single mothers.

In 2011, there were 10 million single mothers with children under the age of 18, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

A 2014 study by the Grand Canyon Institute found that “79 percent of low-income singleparent households are headed by women.”

In addition, “32 percent of all single-mother households are low-income.”

“In Tucson, the face of poverty really is single moms and immigrants,” said Pitot.

According to Pitot, most entry-level job positions do not support a single mother family and instead tend to support a cycle of poverty, which creates a greater need for a college education.

“The cycle of poverty has to do with people getting off public support systems. They get a job, but then they lose all of their benefits. They don’t have good childcare, they don’t have paid sick leave, they never see their kids anymore and they’re still living in poverty so they get frustrated, they quit their job, and they’re back on unemployment again,” Pitot said. “That’s the cycle of poverty because they can never really get ahead.”

YWCA Southern Arizona has developed programming including professional development and mentorship that attends to the needs of women once they locate a job and wish to advance in their career.

For single mothers, receiving a college education is not a selfish act. Rather, it is almost always an endeavor to elevate the lives of their children.

“Everything they’re doing at this point becomes trying to just help their children out and help them have a better quality of life,” Pierse said.

Kassandra Manriquez is a reporter for Arizona Sonora News, a service from the School of Journalism with the University of Arizona.

Just 1% of the world’s water is usable for human consumption. 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers.

Can you get water poisoning?

Just like over-consuming alcohol, drinking a large amount of water in a short amount of time can be dangerous and even fatal. When consuming too much water, the level of body sodium (salt) drops.

This condition even has a name – hyponatremia. It is more commonly called “water intoxication.” In essence, you’re drinking more than your kidneys can process.

The job of sodium is to keep the liquids inside your body in balance.

Drinking too much moves liquids from your blood to inside your cells where they swell. What makes this most serious is when the swelling occurs inside your brain and lungs – which can lead to seizures, coma, respiratory arrest, brain stem herniation, and death.

Other symptoms of hyponatremia: • Frequent urination • Mental disorientation • Headache • Nausea and vomiting

According to Scientific American, death from water intoxication is more common among young people and has been reported in water-drinking contests, hazing episodes, and by athletes who mistakenly over-hydrate while training. Additionally, there have been cases of club-goers taking MDMA (ecstasy) who have died after consuming copious amounts of water trying to rehydrate after long nights of dancing and sweating.

The American Chemistry Society reports that it takes about 6 liters of water to kill a 165 pound person.

Hyponatremia requires immediate attention. ER doctors inject concentrated salt water intravenously to reduce swelling.

The take home message is this: unless you are Aquaman, overconsuming water can be risky.

Dystopia fiction relevant to our generation

by Apoorva Bhaskara The Daily Wildcat

S

everal years in the future, civilization as we know it has all but been destroyed by wars, environmental disasters and a technological uprising.

Technology has skyrocketed but is in the hands of a group of totalitarian rulers. The majority of the population is oppressed by the government and naive to the world outside of its own.

Sound familiar? It’s the premise of most dystopian future fiction for the past few decades. It began with subtle dystopias like in Aldous Huxley’s 1932 book, “Brave New World,” in which society has abolished natural reproduction and babies are conditioned from birth to fit into a specific class and to be “happy” in that class.

The dystopias have been getting more and more distressed, such as in the recent “Hunger Games” series, where children are literally being forced to kill each other.

Many people believe that dystopian novels, TV series and movies are perpetrating a generation of fearful cynics, but these works of fiction are usually just exaggerations of the problems in our own society.

Is artificial intelligence going to break free from human control like in “The Terminator”? Will the earth run out of resources to sustain us, forcing us to find habitation in space like in “Interstellar”?

Can wars and rebellions destroy society such that the “Hunger Games” could actually occur?

Chances are all of humanity’s flaws will not manifest themselves in a single ruling government. But in a way, dystopian fiction is meant to prevent this from happening.

With technology booming and the climate in a more precarious state than ever, our generation needs to be cautious and think about the consequences of our actions.

It is important that in a debate about the genetic modification of embryos, works like “Brave New World” or the movie “GATTACA” are brought up so that we are aware of potential risks.

If you asked people whether bringing back the dinosaurs was a good idea, many people would likely claim that no, it would be a terrible idea, or at least that extreme caution should be taken. Most of them would attribute this conclusion to the events that unfolded in the “Jurassic Park” movies.

While it does not depict a futuristic society, “Jurassic Park” is a perfect example of how dystopian fiction in pop culture can help society become more cautious and skeptical of advances. Instead of rushing into dramatic, new technology, people are more inclined to weigh the options because of the barrage of warnings around them.

In one of the most memorable quotes from “Jurassic Park,” the mathematician character Ian Malcolm argues, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether

“

or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” This can apply to nearly every advancement that society makes. This isn’t to say technological advancements are bad or that we should be afraid of moving forward. In fact, many of the advancements shown in dystopian societies are nothing short of extraordinary, but a healthy degree of skepticism is important to keep us in check.

The dystopian vision is actually really important to our future. It keeps us on our toes and reminds us that our actions can determine the path that society will take.

Many of the advancements shown in dystopian societies are nothing short of extraordinary, but a healthy degree of skepticism is important to keep us in check.”

The Daily Wildcat

A

s more and more women are joining the fight to be considered equal to men, little girls are now also raising their voices.

As The New York Times reported, five girls in California who call themselves the Unicorns are fighting to join the Boy Scouts because their outdoor activities are a better fit for their interests.

The girls were allowed to participate in activities alongside the boys until parents started complaining that the coed program was inappropriate.

No one can blame these girls for insisting on more enriching

outdoor activities that help them become more self-sufficient, but the way in which they are approaching the situation probably isn’t fair to both parties.

“When we get into the real world, we’re going to have to work with other people who are, like, not just girls,” 10-year-old Ella Jacobs said to The New York Times, insisting she should be allowed to join the Cub Scouts.

There is no denying that Jacobs has a point, but we should focus on teaching girls to work with each other rather than against each other. This situation is creating

“

competition, not only between opposite genders, but also among girls.

The point of both organizations is to provide children and adolescents with a bit of friendly competition, and more importantly, to teach them how to work as a team.

The separation from the Girl Scouts is implying the girls cannot overlook their different interests and have, instead, decided not to deal with one another.

It makes sense that these five girls want to participate in activities more similar to the

We should focus on teaching girls to work with each other rather than against each other.”

boys’, but that also doesn’t give them the right to criticize the activities that other girls are interested in, such as selling cookies or learning to sew.

It is also in no way fair to attack Boy Scouts about discrimination, when in reality they are simply trying to embrace boys’ quality time.

On the contrary, the Boy Scouts offer the coed program, Learning for Life, which allowed these five girls to participate in their activities without being formally considered scouts.

I am a believer that girls should be allowed to do the same things as boys and not be thought of as the weaker sex, but this doesn’t seem to me as a fight for equality.

It rather appears more of an attempt to prove that girls can be stronger, not just equal.

This brings to light the worry of many parents of Boy Scouts.

As The New York Times reported,

parents feared that, since girls already outperform boys in several areas, they would take over the entire Boy Scouts program.

No one in this debate is saying girls cannot do the same tasks as boys can. If parents are so worried about the girls participating in activities that match their interests, they should petition for the Girl Scouts troops to add a wider variety of activities to the program.

Girl Scouts troops are just as capable of including lessons on how to light fires, how to set up a tent or how to do archery. All it takes is five girls willing to stand up and raise their voices for those with different interests and desires than the rest.

Uber screening process flawed, unsafe

BY Jessica Suriano The Daily Wildcat

U

nlike Arizona, Uber drivers in Colorado are still not required to complete the same FBI and BCI background checks as other regulated transportation, such as limousine and taxi drivers. Instead, Uber can use a private business’ background check process.

This discrepancy has grown as an area of concern for residents in states such as Colorado and others, where passengers have reason to be a little more cautious about calling an Uber.

According to The Denver Channel’s news report on Nov. 20, one of two Uber drivers recently arrested in Colorado was accused of attempted burglary of a passenger’s home and the other was accused of sexually assaulting a passenger. The two incidents spurred a revitalization of complaints originally filed in December 2014 by the Los Angeles and San Francisco district attorneys.

These district attorneys are claiming that Uber failed to produce comprehensive

background checks of 25 of its drivers who all had some sort of criminal record.

Had these records originally been made available, the chances of these drivers still getting hired would have undoubtedly been reduced from slim to none.

One of these 25 drivers, for example, is a felon convicted of perpetrating “lewd or lascivious acts” against a child under 14 years old and has since given 5,679 rides for Uber, including ones to “unaccompanied children,” according to Steven Musil of CNET. As more and more of these criminal records that have apparently slipped through the cracks have come to light, it is easy to see why people living in states with looser regulation for Uber drivers are becoming hesitant to trust the company’s screening process.

Uber’s screening process is less thorough than taxi and limousine companies’ because in states such as Colorado, where no new regulations have been

“

enacted, drivers are not required to submit fingerprints. Because of this, the prosecutors pushing the complaints against the company have argued that it is too easy for drivers to use a different or fake name to evade an unwanted criminal record from popping up to their prospective employer.

The prosecutors are also reasonably arguing that running the fingerprints through federal databases would have immediately found these criminal records before the drivers in question were hired.

Because of the lack of fingerprints, Uber also has no fool-proof method of tracking that its rides are being given by registered Uber employees in its system. In other words, a random driver could easily pose as someone else on the Uber system when a passenger orders a ride, regardless of whether or not they have undergone even Uber’s less thorough, private background check.

And this is exactly what prosecutors also found. According to Laura Nelson of the Los Angeles Times and the prosecutors, they

have found three unlicensed drivers posing on another driver’s account to drive for Uber so far.

Fortunately for Arizona residents, Gov. Doug Ducey’s signing of House Bill 2135 now requires Uber and Lyft to perform criminal background checks, as well as conduct vehicle inspections and require its drivers to have $250,000 of liability insurance while a passenger is in the vehicle—the same expectations of taxi drivers.

If Uber is providing the same service as taxis and limousines, its expectations and rules should be the same as well. If Uber is unable to rise to these expectations— in every state ideally—the company should not be able to guarantee the same standard of safety as taxis and limos to its prospective consumers.

While the rapid availability of Uber rides is much appreciated, especially to us busy college students, sacrificing the convenience of Uber for a safer alternative may be the smarter choice for those in states that still have yet to enforce elevated expectations of Uber drivers and its employers.

Cooking up anthropology Outside Winslow, Arizona, UA students and faculty are excavating villages that were occupied almost a millennium ago. Some of their most enlightening finds are the cookware because we are what we eat

BY Emily Hedges

The Daily Wildcat

Archaeologists at the UA School of Anthropology and the Arizona State Museum are cooking up something big for their next project. Researchers are using utility-ware pottery and cookware to learn more about migration patterns at the Homol’ovi Hopi pueblo sites.

The Homol’ovi Research Program began in 1985 as a collaboration between the UA School of Anthropology and the Arizona State Museum.

Originally, the project involved working on Hopi pueblos at Homol’ovi State Park near Winslow, Arizona. The project later shifted to focus on the Chevelon Pueblo, the third largest pueblo of the Homol’ovi villages, which are believed to have been occupied from about 1280 to 1380.

According to UA anthropology Dr. E. Charles Adams, the UA School of Anthropology is currently working on Rock Art Ranch, a petroglyph site located near Homol’ovi. The UA School of Anthropology hosts an archaeology field school at Rock Art Ranch every summer that is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The field school teaches students archaeological excavation techniques including survey techniques, excavation procedures and artifact identification and analysis.

“I really like the social part of it,” Adams said.

“The thing I most enjoy about it is being out ... with a whole group of people and getting to know each other and then being able to work together collaboratively to accomplish really great things like, you know, doing excavations and surveys.”

One of the problems encountered at the Homol’ovi site is looting of artifacts, according to Adams. Pottery hunters, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will remove artifacts from archaeological sites without documentation.

When it comes to archaeology, “context is really everything,” said Claire Barker, an anthropology graduate student and research assistant.

Without context, it is difficult for an archaeologist to analyze an artifact and determine its significance.

“Archaeology done properly is not exciting and it’s not sexy. I mean, people don’t care and that’s unfortunate,” she said. “I think that there’s a lack of understanding, and if people really knew, less people would do it.”

Barker uses utility-ware pottery from the Homol’ovi site to study social identity. According to Barker, studying utility ware is a more stable

way to look at social identity.

“Your cooking pots like what you actually cook with are not something that you really think of as part of who you are, but that’s also fundamental to who you are,” Barker said.

In a time before pre-made pots and pans, prehistoric peoples used different pottery recipes to make their own cooking ware, according to Barker. Generally, people of the same family groups used similar recipes.

“So by looking at these recipes ... you can look at relationships between people, and you can see uniformity or diversity,” Barker said.

One of the questions Barker said she seeks to answer with her research is: where did people

move to Homol’ovi from? By looking at the composition of the pottery, researchers can determine whether it was locally produced or not. Barker uses the composition of utility-ware recipes from local groups of immigrants to see how many immigrants there were, where they migrated from and if they maintained a diversity of traditions after the migration.

“The moment you get into a new social climate, there may be pressure to adjust the way you decorate pottery,” Barker said. “But this stuff, the frying pan you use, is still probably not going to change.”

According to Barker, after she has finished analyzing the pottery, she will use the statistics

from the analysis to look at diversity between sites and see if there is a disjunction between the decorated pottery and utility-ware pottery analyses.

“That’s when things get really interesting,” she said.

Meanwhile, Barker will be working on her new Blockbuster hit: “Indiana Jones Discusses Archaeological Context.”

SCIENTISTS ARE CURRENTLY RESEARCHING bacteriocins as an alternative to the use of antibiotics within crops.

Bacteriocins are naturally created by some bacteria to prevent the growth of other surrounding bacteria.

EARLY BIRD RATES!

Fighting bacteria with bacteria

BY PEARL LAM

The Daily Wildcat

Before paying extra for that organic apple, consumers should know antibiotics, mainly streptomycin and tetracycline, are commonly applied onto farm fruits and veggies still organically certified. Because antibiotics are widely used throughout agriculture, the movement toward promoting organic farming may not even be as ideal as it seems.

Through random mutations in their DNA, bacteria develop resistance against these antibiotics rendering those antibiotics useless over time. Antibiotic resistance may even arise in the absence of antibiotics.

A study last year led by microbiologist Jo Handelsman from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, found bacteria in manure from antibiotic-free cows helped soil bacteria gain resistant genes against betalactams, a class of antibiotics that includes penicillin.

What happens, then, if bacteria still generate antibiotic resistance without antibiotics? A class of toxins known as bacteriocins may be the solution. A team of microbiologists led by Dr. David Baltrus at the UA are studying if bacteriocins, or bacterial toxins that kill other bacteria, can explain the “killing abilities” between communities of bacteria on different leaves of a single plant.

Bacteriocins create an antibiotic-like effect.

“If we can make connections about which bacteria kill other bacteria, we can apply them to various plants like Bermuda grass and alfafa, which are feed for farm animals,” said Aretha Raiwe, a veterinary science and Africana studies junior who works in the

Baltrus lab.

According to Raiwe, using bacterocins as an alternative to antibiotics may reduce the cost of producing and storing crops and feed by curtailing antibiotic resistance.

The difference between bacteriocins and antibiotics is target specificity, according to Kevin Hockett, a post-doc in the Baltrus lab.

“Bacteriocins are relatively more narrowspectrum than antibiotics meaning they kill very specific strains or species of bacteria,” Hockett said.

Antibiotics, on the other hand, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics such as streptomycin and tetracycline, affect not only the target bacteria but also the surrounding bacteria that were never involved in the outbreak or infection.

Antibiotic resistance could then arise from both the target and the surrounding bacteria, leading to what are known as drugresistant strains. As antibiotics are often used interchangeably in agriculture and medicine for the same target bacteria, antibiotic resistance leaves both crops and patients vulnerable to infectious bacterial diseases.

Bacteriocins have massive potential.

Already utilized in the food industry is nisin, a well-known bacteriocin additive in processed foods, including meats and cheeses, that prevents spoilage and bacterial contamination.

“It has been used for decades and licensed in over 50 different countries,” Hockett said.

“So let’s try translating what they’ve done there into agriculture.”

We all love to drink it, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to make.

Brewing requires a healthy dose of science to get it right

BY GENEVIEVE PATTERSON The Daily Wildcat

N

ext time you grab a six pack with friends, you should consider the microorganisms that made your beverage.

There is no better way to get introduced to the complex process than to head over to one of Tucson’s hip new craft breweries and talk with L.J. Combs, brewer at Pueblo Vida Brewing Company, a brewing company in downtown Tucson that just celebrated its one-year anniversary on Nov. 14.

“Everything starts over here, this is called the brewhouse,” said Combs, pointing out different pieces of shiny steel brewing equipment. “Basically, everything starts off by making this giant vat of oatmeal. So you fill this with crushed grains … and then you steep it at like 150 degrees and that converts the starches into sugars that the yeast can then consume later in the process.”

After a series of boiling and cooling periods, the resulting mixture is transferred to a fermenter with yeast.

“It’s in [the fermenter] for like two weeks or a month and a half, depending on what kind of beer it is,” Combs said. “Then it goes into the bright tank, which is where it’s carbonated, and then into kegs and then people’s mouths.”

The process of brewing is a chain of events in which each step needs to be done exactly right and in order for the next one to work out. Subtle variations at different stages are responsible for the wide range of flavors seen in different types of beer.

The first step in the process of brewing is malting the grains.

After the grain is harvested, it is steeped in water and allowed to germinate for four to six days. The enzymes produced by the grains during germination, such as alpha-amylase, are essential for later elements of the brewing process. Then the grain is kilned to stop the germination. Depending on which flavors are desired, the length of time the grain is kilned can vary.

“The longer it’s kilned, the more bitter it is and the more chocolatey dark flavors attach,” Combs said.

“Stouts use a lot of those.”

The next step in the process is to mill the grain, which is cracking off the husk so water can access the starches. Then the grain is mashed. At this stage, the two most important enzymes are alpha-amylase and beta-amylase.

“They function best at different temperatures,” Combs said. “One functions best at 140 degrees to 149 degrees, the other one is 150 degrees to 167 degrees, so most people will mash at like 150 degrees—a good compromise between the two enzymes.”

These enzymes break down the starches in the grain and produce the sugars maltose and sucrose.

During fermentation the yeast consume those sugars and convert them to alcohol and carbon dioxide.

Given how many steps there are in this process, there are many ways to mess up, which could ruin the taste of the resulting beer.

“Throughout the process, there’s like 12 different off flavors that can be created if you do things wrong,” Combs said. “If you ferment a couple degrees higher than you wanted to, then you create these buttery flavors and things that people don’t want to drink.”

The fermentation process is very important for creating the variety of different flavors found in beer.

Esters and fusels are flavor compounds produced during fermentation that depend upon the type of yeast used. They result in a variety of flavors like banana, clove, apple and cherry among many others.

“If you ferment at a higher temperature you release more esters and more fusels so you can get more fruity flavors,” Combs said.

The amount of yeast pitched, or added to the fermenter, is another factor that influences fermentation. Over-pitching the yeast leads to leftover sugar in the beer and poor fermentation.

Under-pitching the yeast stresses the yeast and creates sulfurous flavors.

Hops are also an important aroma compound in beer that offer a range of flavors like grassy, fruity or piney flavors. If hops are not kept at the right temperature or are not fresh enough they can also result in off flavors like cheese or wet socks.

The flavor of the beer is not only influenced during the brewing process. Many factors can influence the taste of beer when it’s being stored and served. If beer is not kept at a consistent temperature it can ruin the carbonation and the flavor. Bottled beer in clear or green bottles can get skunked since light can cause reactions that lead to off-flavors. Also tap lines that are not frequently cleaned will develop protein build-up, which causes a buttery flavor called diacetyl.

“If you go to a dive bar and you get Coors Light that’s been there and the lines haven’t been cleaned for, you know, 60 years it tastes super buttery and really gross,” Combs said.

How does someone get involved in brewing?

Combs got his start home brewing in college and then apprenticed at Pueblo Vida for three months before getting hired—a standard process for those looking to becoming brewers.

If you are intrigued by the science of brewing, there are ways to get involved in home brewing through student clubs, such as the Arizona Home Brew Club.

“It’s kind of a club for anyone who is interested in making their own alcoholic beverage,” said Aidan Blum, a chemical engineering senior and president of the Arizona Home Brew Club, “We also do cider and wine and we actually just did a club mead fermentation … Our big thing though is obviously the beer as the brewing name suggests.”

The club’s general meetings include discussing the science behind home brewing including the alpha-amylase binding sites on different starches and the types of cereal crops that can be used.

“Brewing is probably actually the most complicated out of all the fermented products that we deal with,” Blum said. “What you have to do though is take the starches that are located in the endosperm of most cereals and turn that starch into sugar, which is what your body does—it’s what your saliva does actually.”

Combs said his favorite part of brewing comes from the final product.

“My favorite part is smelling and tasting the finished beer and looking for off flavors,” Combs said. “There are so many different off flavors you can have and once you know what they are, you find them in a lot more things than you would expect.”

420 arriving in the 520 Although the debate about recreational marijuana blazes ahead, Arizona voters might have a vote in the near future. Experts weigh in on the details of legalization

BY Genevieve Patterson The Daily Wildcat

By this time next year, if you are a registered voter in the state of Arizona, you will probably be able to vote yes or no to legalizing retail marijuana.

The initiative is backed by the Marijuana Policy Project, the same group behind the initiatives in Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Washington D.C., and it seems very likely that it will be on the ballot in November 2016.

The group already has over 100,000 of the needed 150,000 signatures with a goal of collecting 230,000. The law would make it legal for adults over the age of 21 to purchase marijuana in a licensed marijuana retail store, the total number of which would be capped at 10 percent of the total liquor store licenses in the state, and would allow adults over the age of 21 to posses up to 1 ounce of marijuana and consume marijuana in private.

It also would allow adults over 21 to grow up to six cannabis plants in an enclosed space within their residence. It would not change existing penalties for impaired driving, public use and unlicensed sale.

“A part of the opposition’s argument is that we’re trying to radically change the way we are doing things and we are,” said Carlos Alfaro, Arizona political director for the Marijuana Policy Project, “In a way, we are ending prohibition that has been in place since the 1930s, but it’s not going to look anything like they’re saying. They’re saying there is going to be a marijuana store on every corner and that it is going to be unregulated and that’s just not the case.”

The law would also enact a 15 percent tax on retail marijuana sales, which would be used to fund the implementation and enforcement of the law with any additional revenue going toward education and public health.

Of this additional tax revenue, 40 percent would go toward K-12 education—specifically teacher salaries and new buildings—40 percent would fund all-day kindergarten programs and 20 percent would fund public health education programs regarding the risks associated with marijuana and other substances.

Of course, as with any controversial legislation, in the time leading up to the vote both those supporting and opposing the initiative will present a barrage of data, some of it skewed to present or support a specific

agenda.

“One of the things that I think we’ll miss as part of the debate will be the discussion in the middle,” said Will Humble, the former director of the Arizona Department of Health Services and the current division director of health policy and program evaluation at the Center for Population Science & Discovery at the Arizona Health Sciences Center, “Because the country prosecutors and law enforcement will be making the argument, they’ll pick and choose the data that make it look like this is the worst thing that could ever happen to have a retail marijuana law.

And then the advocates who believe the other extreme will say that no harm is ever done by marijuana ever to anybody. The

truth is in the middle.”

However, as with any legislation with a significant potential impact on public health, it is important to look honestly at the data regarding teen use, hospitalizations, impaired driving and the impact of criminal prosecution.

The current felony convictions in place for marijuana possession carry a large public health impact for an entire group of people, influencing how employable they are, their potential income and ultimately the health status of their families.

“On one hand, you have the fact that marijuana does have a bad impact in the community in the sense that it does cause accidents as the result of people using it and

driving,” Humble said. “On the other side, you have to look at it from the perspective that here is something that people are being given felony convictions for that carry through the rest of their life.”

This initiative will not be Arizona’s first encounter with legalized marijuana. The state currently has a medical marijuana program that was also created through a voter initiative passed in 2010.

“In Arizona, … we have a voter initiative process, so things that would never get a hearing at the state legislature, like this, can bypass the state legislature and get directly on the ballot and once voters approve it, it becomes state law,” Humble said. “Medical

Students rally for Paris climate conference

BY Natalie Robbins The Daily Wildcat

In an effort to support the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, known as COP21, students rallied on the UA Mall on Nov. 23 by placing their handprints on a banner displaying the message “UA Supports Climate Change.”

The banner was created by the Students for Sustainability Energy and Climate Committee. This effort comes on the heels of President Ann Weaver Hart’s signing of an environmental agreement called the Second Nature’s Climate Commitment along with other university presidents.

The conference will be held in Paris and is expected to host almost 150 world leaders, all hoping to agree on an international solution to the climate change issues affecting nations worldwide. Ideally, leaders would like to create an agreement that would limit greenhouse gas emissions. According to the COP21 website, the U.S., China and India—the three largest greenhouse gas emitting nations—are all scheduled to attend.

The banner is going to be sent with Diana Liverman who is attending the Paris Climate Talks on behalf of the UA, along with several graduate students.

“We’re eagerly awaiting a picture of the banner in Paris amongst world leaders,” said Madeline Ryder, a developmental practice graduate student and the committee chair of the Students for Sustainability Energy and Climate Committee.

The U.N. Conference on Climate Change will last from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. The UA holds a vested interest as it is one of the leading research universities regarding climate and environmental science, according to Ryder.

She said she hopes the university can find a way to connect this research to the practices seen on campus.

“We have some world-renowned faculty members that are addressing climate change in a meaningful way on a national and global scale,” Ryder said. “However, our group wants to see that excellence turned towards the institution itself. We want to see some, if not all, of the major technological, research and policy achievements coming out of the UA applied to the UA.” The banner event allowed UA students to demonstrate their support for climate action

and they participated for a variety of reasons.

“This is the biggest problem that faces our generation, and our children and their children beyond that, so it is irresponsible for our leaders and us as a people not to address it now and pretend it doesn’t exist,” said Alexander Prescott, a hydrology and mathematics senior.

practice graduate student, “We are all affected in interconnected ways, and we have the duty to unite and address the challenge of global climate change.”

Support for climate action is important for students of all ages, according to Ryder.

“The younger the student, the more likely they are to be affected by climate change impacts,” Ryder said. “This doesn’t mean agreeing with whatever agreement comes out of Paris. Instead, it means staying informed, taking responsibility for your individual

“In other words, the old Department of Health Services medical marijuana dispensaries become retail stores with no action on the part of the dispensaries,” Humble said. “So if you have a hostile executive who doesn’t implement the law and create the agency that is designed to be created if the voters approve this, there are some automatically

implementing components that the authors put into the statutes.”

And how confident do those at the Marijuana Policy Project feel about the voters passing a retail marijuana law?

“I have seen poll numbers anywhere from 55 [to] 58 percent approval,” Alfaro said. “It’s a presidential election year so of course there is going to be a lot

The fall of Zeus Leader of the Wildcats no more. Here’s how Arizona might cope without the fourth-year Wildcat in the starting lineup

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

S

enior center Kaleb Tarczewski came into this season with high expectations and a chance to finish off his collegiate career as the winningest player in Arizona history.

Unfortunately, those plans have to be put on hold.

Tarczewski will be sitting out for the next four to six weeks with a stress reaction and strained muscle in his left foot, which he sustained in the second half of Thursday’s overtime victory over Santa Clara.

The fourth-year Wildcat sat out Arizona’s second round loss to Providence and third-place victory over Boise State with the hope he would be able to return soon.

“Anytime you have a guy like [Tarczewski] that has won so many games, and is such a physical presence for us, it’s definitely different out there without him,” Arizona forward Ryan Anderson said after the loss to Providence.

Tarczewski’s presence will undoubtedly be missed during the December and early January stretch of the season. The 7-footer has averaged eight points and seven rebounds in 24 minutes

per game this season.

“Our big guy unit is all about playing hard, crashing the glass and being physical,” Anderson said. “It’s something we pride ourselves on. With or without Kaleb, that’s something that we tried to do [against Providence], rebounding especially.

Obviously it helps just to have [Tarczewski] in there with us, though.”

Tarczewski’s injury puts head coach Sean Miller in a difficult predicament. After having Tarczewski as a consistent face in the starting lineup the past three seasons, who will be next to step up for Arizona?

Sophomore backup center Dusan Ristic is the most likely option. Throwing Ristic into the spotlight and giving him an early chance to step into the starting role could go a long way in his development.

Ristic has experience in big games and the new role of a starter could help him in the long run for both this season and his collegiate career. The 7-footer was given the start against Providence, where he logged 18 minutes and shot 3-for-5 with six points, five rebounds, two assists and two turnovers.

Tarczewski’s fall could possibly give freshman center Chance Comanche a chance to see an increase in minutes as well.

Through seven games, Comanche has played in five and has only logged 18 total minutes, having yet to make a bucket.

Another option, which Miller experimented with during the

Miller placed Elliott Pitts in the starting role for the Boise State rematch, and Pitts logged 28 minutes and scored four points. Ristic played only nine minutes against Boise State.

Guard Allonzo Trier, who is a natural scorer, could also be placed into a smaller sized lineup. Trier is averaging 10 points per game while shooting 45 percent from the field.

It’s time to let Miller work his magic

BY Matt Wall

The Daily Wildcat

G

ive Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller credit where credit is due. He has managed to

work his magic yet again.

This weekend’s tournament was brutal for Wildcat fans to swallow. Arizona suffered a loss in November—something that hasn’t happened since 2011.

But Miller in no way, shape or form has given up on his team and neither have his players. In fact, it appears the loss will only make them stronger.

The tides were against the Wildcats during Sunday’s matchup against Boise

State in the third-place game of the DirecTV Wooden Legacy.

Arizona had just lost to Providence after nearly losing to a winless Santa Clara in overtime, and Kaleb Tarczewski was out after suffering a foot injury two games prior. Come the second half, both Mark Tollefsen and Ryan Anderson had fouled out. With only Dusan Ristic available in the post, Miller implemented a five-guard lineup. Although it was shaky, Arizona still

came out on top.

Allonzo Trier stepped up yet again, as it appears he truly thrives with the pressure.

The freshman finished the night with a team-high 13 points in 26 minutes.

That’s exactly what Miller does: he gets the job done.

Despite 21 turnovers against Providence, Arizona lost by only four points on a horrific shooting night.

Pac-12 Power Rankings: Men’s hoops 4

1

California —The proclaimed up-and-comers out West now find themselves unranked after two early-season losses.

On a side note, Tyrone Wallace is building a solid case for player of the year with his strong outings, averaging 18 points, five rebounds and four assists per game.

Washington State — Surprisingly, the Cougars are one of two undefeated teams left in the Pac-12. They face Gonzaga on Wednesday, so we shall soon see if Washington State is fool’s gold or a legitimate threat.

Oregon — The No. 15 Ducks find themselves as the only undefeated ranked team left in the Pac-12 Conference and already boast a solid resume win over then No. 20 Baylor. The only logical explanation is that Joe Young was holding this team back from reaching its potential last year.

5

Arizona — An overtime victory over Santa Clara and a tough loss to Providence at the Wooden Legacy knocks the No. 19 Wildcats down from the top spot. With a game against No. 13 Gonzaga on Saturday, Arizona better get its head in the game if it wants to come out victorious.

6

Colorado — After beating Northern Colorado on Sunday, the Buffs’ basketball team has already won more games than Colorado’s football team. Basketball head coach Tad Boyle has them off to a quietly impressive start, while football head coach Mike MacIntyre’s mouth writes checks that his team cannot cash.

3

Utah — Their 90-66 loss at the hands of Miami knocked the Utes out the top 25, but they responded by winning their next two games. Matches against Wichita State and No. 7 Duke in the next two weeks will be a great measure of Utah’s potential this season.

USC — Although the Trojans lost to Monmouth on Sunday, the victor’s bench celebrations made it a victory for the rest of us.

USC’s win over then No. 20 Wichita State was supposed to be a resume booster, but the Shockers are shocking everyone in the wrong way this year. A loss to then No. 23 Xavier also dampens the Trojan’s young season.

ASU — The Sun Devils are 4-2 on the season and look to keep improving as the year progresses.

It shouldn’t be hard after that opening night loss to Sacramento State, but Bobby Hurley has them thinking they could be dark horse NIT contenders in Tempe.

11

Stanford — While nerd nation may be the conference’s savior on the gridiron, the Cardinal are the bottom of the barrel on the hardwood. With the Cardinal still having an outside shot at the College Football Playoff, it can wait until next month to start complaining about its basketball team.

Washington — After losing to Gonzaga by 16, the Huskies do not face a ranked opponent again until they head to Tucson on Jan. 14. Andrew Andrews is quietly having a great season, averaging 21 points and seven rebounds per game, but he will need wins to gain proper recognition.

UCLA — The Bruins are barely above .500 at 4-3 early in the season and face No. 1 Kentucky this week. UCLA is hoping it doesn’t have flashbacks of last year’s 83-44 demolition at the hands of the top-ranked Wildcats. Who would have thought having your son, Bryce Alford, lead the team in shots and minutes would not be a strong game plan?

Oregon State — A tough loss to Valparaiso puts the Beavers at 4-1 on the season with No. 4 Kansas looming over next week.

Maybe Oregon State’s basketball team can help Beaver fans forget football season and look forward to over 20 wins.

Amaro and ‘Cats tournament ready

BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat

Arizona volleyball received the news Sunday evening that it will be competing in the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year and the 27th time in school history. The Wildcats will take on No. 20 Western Kentucky in the first round on Friday at 5 p.m. in Provo, Utah.

Arizona head coach Dave Rubio will be making his 18th trip to the big dance in his 24 seasons at the Wildcats’ helm.

“We’re certainly excited to be invited back to the NCAA Tournament,” Rubio said. “We feel like getting a chance to go to Utah and staying in our own time zone is a benefit for us.”

The Wildcats earned a bid after defeating rival ASU 3-1 in their last regular season match of the season Friday. Halli Amaro, senior middle blocker for the Wildcats, expressed the importance of that win to get into the tournament and what it meant to get a win in her final home game as a Wildcat.

“The night, overall, was just perfect for me,” Amaro said. “I had my family there, I had some friends come and surprise me from back home. … Ultimately, I think that win did help us get into the tournament, so I think getting that win was an emotional one for me just because … getting into the tournament relied a lot on what happened in that game.”

Western Kentucky, victor of the Conference USA, will be no easy match for Arizona. The Hilltoppers dominated their conference with a

15-1 record.

“When you play against a ball club that’s used to winning as much as those guys have, they’re not going to be intimidated by the moment by any means,” Rubio said. “They’re certainly not going to be intimidated by us.”

Rubio will use this week to prepare for a different style of play than his team is accustomed to. Normally, the Wildcats play big, physical teams in the Pac-12 Conference; Western Kentucky is the opposite of that.

“We’re used to seeing big, giants kids,” Rubio said. “These guys, they’re smaller, quicker, faster; … Their setter puts a lot of pressure because when she’s front row, she has a very offensive mind in terms of her own attacking ability and setting ability. We’ll certainly have to do some things and make some adjustments that we haven’t had to make in the past.”

Rubio said Arizona will not be looking past Western Kentucky, though a Wildcat win would put them up against the winner of Ohio and 13 seed BYU. Facing BYU would present a rematch of last year’s second round match, where Arizona fell in four sets to the Cougars.

BYU ended up going all the way to the finals, something setter Penina Snuka described as “catching lighting in a bottle.”

Snuka said the team that gets hot at the right time will have the best chance to go as far as BYU did last year, and is confident her team is heating up at the right time.

Outside hitter Kalei Mau—who was third in the Pac-12 in kills—and libero and defensive

specialist McKenna Painton, may be out against Western Kentucky.

Both players were out against ASU and Rubio said it will be day to day for each of them leading up to the first round. Rubio is hopeful they will be able to play by Friday, but said back ups Kendra Dahlke and Elizabeth Inch will step up as they did against ASU.

“I think we got our hands full with Western Kentucky,” Rubio said. “I’m not looking past them because I know they’re going to give us everything we can handle that night.”

Takeaways: Enter the fiasco that is the CFP

BY Noah Sonnet

The Daily Wildcat

The college football regular season is down to its final week: championship week. This season has easily produced some of the most amazing storylines and with conference championships on the horizon, many punched tickets while others submitted themselves in the Heisman race.

But folks, there is still so much more to be played for, so don’t blink an eye before this season gets out of control.

The wild Midwest Entering the final weekend of Big 12 Conference play, the conference title was still up for grabs with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Baylor all having a chance to take the crown.

Baylor played host to rival TCU on Friday night, needing a win in a complete downpour that halted both teams’ high-powered offenses and

caused plenty of turnovers. It took double overtime for TCU to prevail 28-21 over Baylor, ending any chance of the Bears making it into this year’s College Football Playoff.

In the Bedlam rivalry between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, the winner would not only be given the conference title, but take a huge step to claiming a spot in the playoff.

Oklahoma literally ran away with the Big 12 title as the Sooners rushed for over 300 yards and may have become the first team to clinch a playoff spot, as the committee simply cannot overlook the Big 12 champs.

Trojans rise above When rivals UCLA and USC squared off Saturday, more than just rivalry pride was on the line as the winner would get a chance to face Pac-12 North champion Stanford in the conference title game.

The Trojans ended their three game losing streak to the Bruins with a 40-21 victory. This puts USC where it imagined it would be at the

start of the season. The Trojans had to overcome so many detours and obstacles that they really do deserve high praise.

Losing a head coach is never easy and the way the Trojans lost one makes it even harder to get back into the swing of things.

But USC remained set on its goal of a Pac-12 championship, and they will have a chance to fight for one Saturday. As of Monday morning, interim head coach Clay Helton lost his interim status and will take over full responsibilities of the job for next season and beyond.

Exit the Irish Stanford took down then No. 6 Notre Dame 38-36 in what was one of the best games of the year. The game presented a matchup of two teams on the outside looking in at a playoff spot.

Both offenses went back and forth all game with Stanford winning on a field goal as time expired.

For the Irish, it’s a crushing loss

Maya Dondonyan/Daily Trojan

USC quarterback Cody Kessler (6) prepares for a snap against UCLA in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, Nov. 28. After a 3-3 start to the season, Kessler led the 8-4 Trojans to the Pac-12 South crown and will play Stanford in the Pac-12 Championship on Saturday, Dec. 5.

and no doubt eliminates them from playoff contention. The Cardinal kept its playoff hopes alive and likely made an impression on the committee with a win over a top ranked team, but may need to win

the Pac-12 Football Championship Game to ensure its spot.

HOOPS

FROM PAGE 16

Who has stepped up the most may not come as a surprise. It was none other than Anderson in the weekend’s games.

The Wildcats looked lost without their leader Tarczewski. Anderson surely did all he could, but one player won’t carry a team in Miller’s offense. His 27 points against Providence only carried them so far.

“We’re not where we were a year ago,” Miller said.

Of course they’re not. Four of their five starters are different from last year.

T.J. McConnell, the guard who controlled the floor and the passing game last season, has been “replaced” by a two-guard system of Kadeem Allen and Parker Jackson-Cartwright. The duo has combined for 24 turnovers this season.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, the defensive minded forward who kept future NBA Draft second pick D’Angelo Russell to nine points last season, left for the NBA . In his place, Elliott Pitts has suddenly taken over the role of defensive stopper.

Trier and Tollefsen have stepped in for the No. 8 NBA Draft pick Stanley Johnson this season. Both are projects in the making in Miller’s system, and could very well step up later in the year.

Furthermore, Anderson has replaced Brandon Ashley at the four spot. The senior transfer from Boston College has done the best job as captain for the Wildcats, averaging 16 points per game.

With so many valuable players lost, this team is clearly still a work in progress.

Miller has been preaching that since the start of the season and the Wildcats surely have a long way to go.

The Wildcats’ next test without Tarczewski will be Saturday against No. 13 Gonzaga.

Miller recently lost a game in November for the first time since 2011.

Will there be some bumps in the road?

Absolutely. Will there be more losses to come? Almost definitely.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if Arizona wins the Pac-12 Conference, it will be by far the best coaching job of Sean Miller’s career,” CBS Sports College Basketball Insider Jon Rothstein wrote on Twitter.

Take a deep breath and let Miller work his magic, Wildcat fans. I promise something good will come from it.
