SCIENCE

It’s all about the curves in mirror lab

BY NATALIE ROBBINS

The Daily Wildcat

Most people would never guess that housed on the east side of Arizona Stadium is the Richard F. Caris Mirror Laboratory. Funneling into ZonaZoo, students pass by the mirror lab each football Saturday, and many may wonder about the work that goes on at the mirror lab, and about those who work there.

The mirror lab team is made up of experts from many disciplines, including scientists, engineers and technicians, all working on an impressive new way to cast and polish mirrors to be used in telescopes. Sitting on air pads to reduce vibrations from passing traffic or seismic activity, the lab is both a design and manufacturing facility for the lightweight, honeycomb-shaped telescope mirrors.

The polishing team at the lab is continually working on new ways to achieve high accuracy of polishing on the deep curves required for the mirrors they make. For the 8.4 meter mirrors they make at the lab—the largest in the world—the accuracy of the polishing has to be within 100 nanometers.

“Imagine the whole mirror scaled up to the size of continental North America, then the highest bump is 1 inch high,” said Hubert “Buddy” Martin, the project scientist for the polishing team at the mirror lab. “It expands the whole continent, and the highest bump is an inch high and the lowest valley, the Grand Canyon, is an inch deep.”

This polishing precision is especially important for the creation of the Giant Magellan Telescope.

The six outside mirrors of the telescope are aspherical, with a shape designed specially to focus incoming light from the stars.

The polishing process involves two parts: a diamond-generated shaping followed by a trip to the polishing cell, which shapes the mirror at an even more precise scale.

Optical engineer Jonathan Davis was the lead project engineer in charge of rebuilding the diamond-generating machine, which is currently in the final process of the super-fine finish on mirror three for the Giant Magellan Telescope.

“The diamond wheels on this spin at about 1100 revolutions per minute and basically they erode away the glass,” Davis said.

Zooming in Davis has been working at the lab for 11 years.

Felix gives his last piece of advice

BY AMANDA OIEN

The Daily Wildcat

Manny Felix , the current Associated Students of the University of Arizona student body president, gives the presidential candidates some words of advice and initiatives he’d like to see continue after his term.

1. Meet with the current ASUA president

“For the students interested in running for president, it’s very important for them to meet with the current president to get a perspective of what the position entails and get a vision of what they can expect given that they assume the position,” Felix said.

He is excited for the candidates and sees a lot of potential in each person running.

2. Think ahead

According to Felix, it’s important to think ahead and stay focused on the election. He said attending club meetings, speaking to groups and meeting with constituents and explaining why you’re the best candidate can become exhausting and can tempt you to quit.

“It really is time consuming,” Felix said. “It can be very draining, but it’s important for them to always be ready to be active and think two steps ahead.”

3. Focus on you

He advises against candidates consuming their time with trying

to figure out what meetings their opponent is attending and said that finding out what they’re up to just isn’t worth it.

“Don’t worry about [it]. Focus on your own campaign and your own plan. Invest energy where you need it,” Felix said. “There’s no point in focusing on what your opponent is doing.”

a close, he wants to see the collaboration between Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University and the UA continue. The initiative, Arizona Students Collaborative Efforts, plans to help bind the three state universities together.

Collaboration is planned in hopes to spark a conversation about issues affecting all Arizona students, and help student governments work together to

make a difference.

“It’s important to put the rivalries aside so the student governments can ensure that at the end of the day, what we do is for the students,” Felix said.

STIs: Do you know your status?

BY Julian Esquer The Daily Wildcat

While a majority of the UA population admits to using condoms during sex—about 68 percent, according to last year’s UA Campus Health and Wellness survey—a great portion does partake in doing the deed without protection. With many involved in some intimate contact with others, infections are a common occurrence on campus.

Sexually transmitted infections are transmitted via sexual contact. The easiest way to determine whether UA students were aware of these issues was to ask around.

Last year, Campus Health Service conducted a survey chronicling the sex lives of students on campus. The study found the three types of infections that are most common on campus, Human Papilloma Virus, chlamydia and genital herpes.

Each infection is different and can manifest itself in varying ways depending on the person.

One person may experience symptoms, while another may be completely asymptomatic.

Regarding the population that is not using protection during sex, Simon Daniels, a freshman studying public management and policy, said that he is worried about the health of the university.

“I was surprised that many of the friends I made here at the UA were having unprotected sex and not being checked regularly; it scares me,” Daniels said.

Many people, students included, are unaware that by not knowing their status, they are potentially harming not only themselves, but others as well.

A junior majoring in literacy, learning and leadership shares her story about how she contracted an STI and the role peer pressure played in her actions and diagnosis.

“I was at a party and had one too many drinks and was peer pressured into having unprotected sex with a guy,” she said.

The student mentioned that after about a week and a half of indecisiveness, she contacted Campus Health and scheduled an appointment. After her appointment, the student found that she had contracted chlamydia.

“My hope is that by sharing this it may shed some light on how students should be tested and not be peer pressured into having unprotected sex,” she said.

Marianne Weeks, a nurse practitioner at Campus Health, said that it is important for students to get routine check-ups on their status, or sexual health.

“Not many students are aware of their status

and should be checked routinely,” Weeks said.

The following are ways to reduce the risks of being infected, according to Campus Health: • Limit the number of sexual partners you engage with, each additional partner is an increase in the chance of acquiring an STI. • Contraception: while condoms do not provide 100 percent protection, they are the most effective in preventing infection.

• Avoid the use of alcohol or drugs as having a substantial amount of alcohol or drugs in your system can impair your judgment and cause you to do something risky, such as not using protection or engaging with someone you just met.

• Know your body: if something is out of place or out of the ordinary then get yourself checked out. Anything from pain and redness to itching and sores can be signs of an infection.

• Get tested on a regular basis.

Christopher Anderson, a mathematics sophomore, relays his diligence in getting tested, and breaks down the stigma behind STI testing.

“There is nothing wrong with being tested, I get tested at least once a month if not more,” Anderson said.

Mikey Finnegan

Michael Shulby

Hannah White

Mikey Finnegan has been involved in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona since his freshman year when he started out as a member of Freshman Class Council. Just last year, he became a senator in ASUA. Now, Finnegan serves as the chief of staff to the current ASUA President Manny Felix.

Aside from ASUA, Finnegan also spends his time on campus giving tours with the Arizona Ambassadors, participates in the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity and is a part of the Chain Gang Junior Honorary.

Finnegan said he’s running for president to continue ensuring the student voice is heard and represented, especially with the new senate structure that has doubled the amount of senators in office.

“I’m running for president mostly because ASUA has really undergone insanely great changes for students and to make sure that idea does not fade away, that it stays strong and that we can ensure that every student, from every college and every group on campus, is represented,” he said.

For Finnegan, the most challenging part of his campaign is making sure every student is informed on campus.

Finnegan fun fact: “I just love the outdoors and love experiencing everything Arizona’s nature has to offer.”

Michael Shulby, a physiology junior, is from Raleigh, North Carolina.

Schulby is the current president of the Residence Hall Association, and is a member of the National Residence Hall Honorary, which is designed for the top 1 percent of students living on campus.

With his experience representing and advocating for students, Shulby is excited about his campaign and hopes to “continue advocating for and serving” the student body.

“I hope to address and rectify issues concerning all students,” he said.

As president, Shulby said he would focus on student involvement, ASUA accessibility to students and an increase student services.

Reaching out to students and balancing his position as RHA president may be the most difficult aspect of Shulby’s campaign.

“It’s an exciting challenge,” he said. “I’m excited to meet all students.”

Shulby fun fact: Despite being from North Carolina, Shulby is a Denver Broncos fan. He also has three sisters who are all Wildcats.

Hannah White, a junior studying speech, language and hearing sciences and linguistics, is from Scottsdale, Arizona.

White is the current conference administration chair for the National Collegiate Conference, a UA ambassador, an orientation welcome leader and a board member for Asian-Pacific American Student Affairs.

“I feel like with everything that I do on campus, I get a pretty good feel for what could be improved on campus and what the needs of students are,” White said. “So I felt like, with a lot of the work that I do, I wanted to take it to a larger scale and see if I can make a difference.”

As president, White hopes to empower students to feel like they have a voice on campus and know where all of their resources are. She also plans to focus on social justice.

“Not just with minority ethnic groups, but with every group in general,” White said. “I hope to make every student feel like they belong on campus and don’t ever feel like they have to feel afraid of either going to class or not knowing who to talk to.”

White believes the biggest challenge with her campaign will be having a healthy balance between her campaign and her involvement on campus.

White fun fact: “I can play seven instruments and I was also a two-time national dance champion when I was 16.”

Police Beat

BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE The Daily Wildcat

Modern Glass Art On Feb. 4, at 12:15 a.m., two University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to Colonia De La Paz Residence Hall due to a complaint about marijuana odor.

A male student answered the door and allowed the officers in. Two of the student’s friends were also in the room.

The students denied smoking any marijuana prior to contact with officers, until one officer noticed multiple glass pipes along with a small blow torch.

When asked about the pipes, the male student who lived in the room said that one of the bongs was just glass art. Another of the glass bongs contained brown residue and the student admitted that he had smoked, explaining that he had smoked “wax” rather than “flower.”

When asked if he was in possession of “wax,” the student produced two small envelopes that he had purchased on his dorm floor. The male student told the officers which room belonged to the other student, and identified him.

The officers were informed that the student had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for a traffic offense. The student was placed under arrest and taken to the Pima County Jail, where he was booked for the traffic offense as well as possession of drugs and paraphernalia.

Afterward, the officers visited the room that allegedly belonged to the student selling “wax.” The student in question answered the door and allowed the officers in. He did not consent to a search of his side of the room.

‘Cause I Was Drunk On Feb. 3 at 1:58 a.m., University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall on account of an intoxicated male who was said to be throwing chairs and starting altercations with other residents.

Upon arrival, officers found the male lying on a bench outside of the residence hall.

The resident assistant on duty told officers that the student had entered his hall extremely intoxicated. The student seemed to want to fight with several of the students he encountered in the hall.

Officers spoke to a student inside the study room on that floor and were shown a dark scuff mark where the male student had kicked the wall. The student in the study room reported seeing the intoxicated male finishing a medium-sized bottle of vodka earlier.

The student being held by UAPD in the squad vehicle outside the residence hall admitted to drinking half a bottle of vodka. He also admitted to kicking the wall in the study room.

When asked why he had kicked the wall, the student stated it was because he was drunk.

The student then was arrested for criminal damage and minor in possession in the body.

92-million-yearold “big-mouthed” fish were found in England

A dangerous creature Mosquito-borne diseases kill over one million people worldwide per year and cause other types of human distress, according to the American Mosquito Control Association.

Aedes mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of the Zika virus, as well as other dangerous pathogens.

These aggressive daytime biters are most active in the early morning, late afternoon and into the early evening.

Aedes mosquitoes thrive in tropical and subtropical climates with warm, humid conditions to lay their clusters of eggs.

This wet environment is needed for the eggs to hatch into larvae.

Metamorphosis is triggered after significant growth of the larvae, transforming it into a pupa, which is a cocoon-like structure. A new adult completes the life cycle by breaking out of the pupa. The process takes about 8-10 days, depending on temperatures, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Gender plays a huge role of the habits of the mosquito. Male mosquitoes only feed on fruit, whereas females include blood in their diet to help mature their eggs.

Females, therefore, are the primary carriers of this harmful pathogen.

Every mosquito-borne pathogen has a range of species that can transmit a particular virus, depending on “the biology and dynamics of the

Unanswered questions Only about 20 percent of Zikainfected people develop symptoms that last several days to a week, according to the CDC. Symptoms include: headaches, fever, rash, joint and muscle pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes).

The Zika virus was not considered a public health threat until the puzzling increase in the number of microcephaly cases in the northeast region of Brazil during recent months.

Microcephaly is a rare birth defect characterized by an unexpectedly small head compared to other babies of similar age and sex.

This condition correlates with the failure of proper brain development, movement and feeding problems, as well as other health problems, ranging from mild to life-threatening. The reasons for most cases of this birth defect are still unknown.

As of the end of January, there were more than 4,000 cases of microcephaly and other nervous system disorders reported by the Ministry of Health of Brazil, which is at a dramatic increase from the average of 163 per year nationwide, according to the Zika Situation Report by WHO. Even though these cases are associated with the Zika virus through time and location, more research is required to determine and understand the possible connection.

Some countries are even recommending that women delay pregnancy plans for up to two years as a precaution.

The Zika virus is a mosquitoborne pathogen that was identified in humans over 60 years ago in parts of East Africa, according to the World Health Organization. This may surprise some people since serious health concerns surrounding the virus have recently come to light.

Margaret Chan, the directorgeneral of WHO, announced the Zika virus to be a “public health emergency of international concern” in the beginning of February due to the virus’s rapid spread across the Americas and its suspected relationship with microcephaly and other neurological effects.

Active infections have been confirmed in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. It cannot be determined where the virus will strike next.

The mosquito has to survive the incubation period of the virus in its own body before it can further transmit the infection to another organism through its saliva. According to Ernst, it takes approximately one week for the virus to migrate to the mosquito’s saliva glands.

Other modes of Zika virus transmission are still under investigation by researchers around the world, such as sexual contact and blood transfusion.

Fighting food insecurity with drones

BY JULIANNA RENZI The Daily Wildcat

Big companies, sustainable agriculture, Saudi Arabia, the UA and drones have one thing in common: each plays a role in the fight against food and political insecurity.

The UA-Gulf Cooperation Council hosted a panel on Jan. 21 titled “Climate Adaptation, Food, and Water” to talk about this complex relationship. Speakers included UA professors from agriculture and biosystems engineering, hydrology, landscape architecture and environmental science.

The UA-GCC’s innovative projects represent “a cooperation that meets the needs of GCC countries, and meets and advances the education, research and outreach functions of the UA,” said UA agricultural and biosystems engineering professor Dr. Joel Cuello in an email correspondence.

Cuello, an expert in biosystems engineering, was the moderator for the event.

Members of the GCC include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Americans are shown how different life is in the Middle East every day by U.S. news media.

Yet, few Arizonans consider the similarities between the two areas. Both Arizona and the Gulf States must solve the challenge of living

in arid regions and therefore, will face similar natural resource challenges in the future.

Indeed, both areas have dry, hot climates and lack abundant water sources. The need for environmental innovation, along with the friendships built through collaborations such as the UA-GCC, unites turbaned Omani farmers and Yuma farmers bearing Cardinals caps.

The panel began with a general overview of environmental adaptations to the desert: gardens designed around native plants, conservative irrigation strategies, green— or “tan” for deserts—roofs and flood preparedness. However, the talk of “social agriculture” stole the spotlight.

The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations defines social farming as a “practice that uses agricultural resources to provide social or educational care services for vulnerable groups of people.”

Panelist Dr. Turki Al Rasheed, a distinguished Saudi businessman and UA agricultural and biosystems engineering adjunct professor, described social farming as the intersection of economic growth, food security, minority empowerment and sustainability.

He added that this form of agriculture brings education, jobs and social inclusion to communities, citing the nation of Malawi as a success story and mentioning Saudi Arabia’s

recent commitment to develop similar programs.

Rasheed claims that you do not fight wars with bombs, “you fight them with development.” And indeed, many conflicts throughout history are rooted in natural resource constraints.

Moving forward, the Department of Defense predicts that climate change will ignite additional violent conflict. Proactive investment in sustainable agriculture and water conservation today can help prevent that bleak scenario in the future.

Links between security and the environment do not end there. The final presenter, department of soil, water and environmental sciences professor Dr. Kevin Fitzsimmons, talked about harnessing the power of the private sector for sustainable agriculture and aquaculture in arid regions.

He noted that many large businesses have unfulfilled offset obligations, which can be used to fund international development projects. Companies such as U.S. defense contractor Raytheon, which invested in shrimp aquaculture technology in 2006, can continue using these mandatory offset funds to invest in sustainable agriculture and improved resource technologies—offering an alternative source of funding beyond governmental aid agencies and NGOs.

Cuello opened the panel noting that demand for animal protein in developing countries will double by 2050, and that the world as a whole will need to increase its food production by 70 percent. In arid regions, investment in low-water food sources, such as aquaculture, could provide other sources of animal protein and partially replace highinput food sources, such as cattle.

Additionally, greenhouse-hydroponics systems do not need nutrient-rich soils and can be built in the middle of cities, making them more convenient for workers.

Fitzsimmons further suggested that hightech companies, like Raytheon, could help improve agriculture and conserve resources through donating equipment, such as lowlevel sensors and drones no longer used in the military.

Cuello noted that these collaborations have “a real potential for the UA to make a significant impact in the GCC region” as well as in arid and semi-arid environments in the U.S. There are multiple ways to fight a war and multiple ways to use a drone; it is up to us to choose.

Valentine’s Day is coming… is chocolate good for me?

Research indicates that dark chocolate is a great source of antioxidants.

Antioxidants are substances that help slow down the aging process and help to prevent heart disease and certain kinds of cancer. The antioxidants in chocolate are polyphenol flavonoids, which are also found in tea, red wine, prunes, apples, and other fruits and vegetables.

In addition, one ounce of dark sweet chocolate has 12% of the iron and 33% of the magnesium a healthy woman needs each day, as well as other small quantities of B vitamins and other minerals.

Chocolate is also thought to be a “mood enhancer.” Dark chocolate contains a number of chemicals that impact brain activity (tryptophan, anandamide, and phenyl ethylamine), muscle activity (theobromine), and central nervous system activity (caffeine).

Good-quality chocolate is made with cocoa butter, which contains equal parts of oleic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid. Oleic acid is a hearthealthy monounsaturated fat. Stearic acid is a saturated fat, but acts like a monounsaturated fat in the body and is considered neutral. Palmitic acid is a saturated fat, but is only one-third of

the fat in chocolate. Lower quality chocolates will be made with unhealthy saturated fats, including butterfat (common in milk chocolate), palm oil, and partially hydrogenated oils. Read the ingredient labels for the type of fats used and remember that all fats have the same amount of calories (9 per gram of fat) regardless of the type.

There is currently no established serving of chocolate to get the proposed health benefits, and perhaps several pounds may be needed to reach euphoria. So what’s the bottom line?

Include chocolate in moderation as part of a well-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonfat dairy products and lean protein sources (sound familiar?). Even dark chocolate contains a lot of calories, so balanced the benefits of chocolate with the amount of calories you want to “spend” on it.

Choose a good-quality dark chocolate, for example Dove and those from Belgium or France, and ENJOY! But don’t expect chocolate to prevent heart disease, cancer or anything else. It’s just another part of a healthy lifestyle that includes all things in moderation: food, physical activity, joy... and even moderation.

mirror lab provided a tuition reimbursement for employees. He sent in his resume and ultimately got the job.

“I didn’t really get into school at first, was kind of bored ... not really into the science aspect of it at the time, and then I got right back into it and started my degree at the College of Optical Sciences,” Davis said.

Growing up in Rochester, New York, Davis first expressed an interest in astronomy around age 11, however after his telescope broke, his interest waned.

A few years later, astronomy piqued his interest once again, and he became involved with the Astronomy Club in Rochester. He then started building his own telescopes. This eventually let to him starting his own business creating equatorial mounts to hold telescopes.

“So here I am, in high school, making these telescope mounts,” Davis said. “Turns out that really helped solidify my studies.”

The unique type of work that Davis is able to do at the mirror lab is a part of why he enjoys it so much.

The United States has “a window of opportunity right now,” Ernst said, “because of the cooler temperatures compared to the tropical climate of South America to prevent the spread of the virus into the country [and] prepare for it to cross the U.S. border.” “[There is] a nice dip in mosquito populations in the United States,” Ersnt said, which helps control these mosquito-borne pathogens.

For Davis, his passion for astronomy transcends his day job. He is also an avid astrophotographer, and enjoys seeing the parallels between nature on earth and astronomy in the universe.

“Going out and doing astrophotography and catching photons that were created from some nuclear property billions of years ago, and it went from there and traveled all the way across the universe and now its on my detector registered as a bit on my computer, and then all those bits line up and you get an amazing image,” Davis said.

Mosquitoes are a difficult organism to control.

Programs rely on community participation to eliminate habitats for eggs to hatch, such as standing water in pots or tires.

Adulticide, a pesticide designed to kill adult insects, not their larvae, can be sprayed in the early morning hours to prevent mosquito bites.

Genetically modified mosquitoes are also a potential control technique. This technique creates sterile male mosquitoes in the laboratory still capable of mating with wild females. The key is the eggs laid by the wild female cannot mature, reducing the number of new mosquitoes able to transmit the virus.

There is currently no cure or vaccine for the Zika virus. The CDC has issued travel warnings for travelers to Zika-infected regions until further notice.

For now, bug repellent is your best friend.

Does alcohol cause cancer?

According to the lyrics by English hipster and singer-songwriter, Joe Jackson: “Everything gives you cancer.”

It appears that carcinogens are everywhere - in our food, air, beauty products, and according to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, possibly even in our cellphones.

YOUCH! However, according to meta-analysis of over 200 studies compiled by the National Institutes of Health, alcohol itself does not cause cancer (i.e., is carcinogenic). YAY! But don’t start celebrating with those Jell-O shots just yet. : ( Those same studies indicate that alcohol still increases the risk of cancer, especially for heavy drinkers. Alcohol is linked to cancers of the oral cavity, esophagus, larynx, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, female breast and ovaries. And, The International Agency for Research on Cancer has opposing evidence and classifies alcohol as a Group 1 carcinogen. DOUBLE YOUCH!

Even the style of how you drink can have a significant effect. Binge drinking leads to more adverse DNA damage than moderate drinking.

So, what’s the take away from today’s column? A long life is deserved by all, experienced by most, and shortened for some.

And, just because you drink in college doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get cancer. But, what we put in, do to, and do for our bodies can have short and long term consequences whether it involves alcohol, nutrition or sex.

Party on. But party wisely. : )

Being youthful may make you feel invincible to cancer because it is rare that any of your peers have it. Cancer happens mostly to older people. But, it is important to see the future from the present and understand that actions you choose to take today can have profound effects later on. This is particularly true when it comes to cancer as it may take roughly 20 years or more for a normal cell to go to a clinical diagnosis of cancer.

n a hypocritical—but unsurprising—decision, Jerry Falwell Jr. of Liberty University endorsed Donald Trump for president last week. As president of Liberty University, an evangelical Christian institution of over 110,000 students, Falwell stands as one of the key figures in the modern evangelical movement.

His prominence as an evangelical leader and commitment to life-long Christian values makes this endorsement puzzling to say the least. Many pundits expected Falwell to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz, who announced his candidacy for president from Liberty University. But those who expected Falwell to endorse Cruz fail to recognize the priorities of self-proclaimed “moral majority” and the base of the Republican Party.

It’s not a stretch to say that Trump is the least observant and devout Christian within the Republican primary. He consistently misquotes the bible, whether it was “never bend to envy,” a line that doesn’t exist, or referring to “Second Corinthians” as “Two Corinthians” during his Liberty University endorsement speech. He’s also openly stated that he’s never

Provide accurate info before advising women

BY NICOLE ROCHON The Daily Wildcat

P

ro-life or pro-choice? Should Planned Parenthood be banned because they offer abortions? Should rape be legalized on private property?

The rights of women are constantly being questioned and a new suggestion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention questions those rights even further.

The CDC has stated that all sexually active women between the ages of 15 and 44 should not drink alcohol to avoid putting infants at risk of fetal alcohol syndrome or other birth defects that can result from alcohol consumption while pregnant.

This suggestion by the CDC was made with good intentions—some birth defects can be extreme and can even result in miscarriage— but the generalization of all women proves that this advice was only given to inhibit women’s choices even further.

The first questionable part of the CDC statements was its understanding of a woman’s access to birth control. The CDC advised a woman to “stop drinking ... if she is not using birth control with sex.”

Condoms are readily available as an overthe-counter form of contraception, and are one of the only forms of contraception that is available to all women. This being said, they are not 100 percent effective, as with all other forms of birth control. Pairing condoms with the pill proves to be nearly 100 percent effective.

In order to have access to birth control, most women need to be screened yearly by their doctor; and with the future of Planned Parenthood up in the air, this accessibility could soon drastically reduce for many.

TRUMP ENDORSEMENT FROM PAGE 10

leaves many on both sides of the aisle pleading with evangelicals and other Christians to shift their support.

Since Trump’s support has held steady, pundits and politicians alike should take heed that many of these voters want—instead of an evangelical Christian—a Trump, an authoritarian candidate who has built a sizable and formidable lead by appealing to hateful xenophobia of Muslim, Black and Hispanic communities while crudely insulting anyone who disagrees with him.

Politicians should notice voters are interested in a man who shows no regard for treating all people with respect and dignity and whose idea of loving thy neighbor entails

Limiting alcohol consumption to those who have access to birth control already discriminates against women with limited healthcare access.

Several forms of contraception have negative effects on women. Birth control alters the hormones already present in the body and can thus cause weight gain, change in breast size, a shift in sex drive and mood swings or depression. Saying a woman should not drink when not on birth control is potentially punishing them for making a choice that is better for them, physically and mentally.

What does the CDC recommend for women with low fertility? About 10 percent of U.S. couples are affected by infertility, and many women do not take birth control as a result.

Yet, the CDC, in its over-generalization of women, would apparently still discourage any woman not on birth control from drinking alcohol.

The CDC’s guidelines are insulting to women who are sexually active—whether intended to conceive or not. It suggests that women are incapable of monitoring themselves and their bodies. A missed period, or physical and mental changes are enough to make women test themselves to see where the irregularities are coming from.

A sexually active woman is responsible enough to know her own body and take the necessary steps to take care of it without the CDC suggesting that all women drink essentially no alcohol.

Instead of creating an all-or-nothing scenario and placing unrealistic expectations on women, the CDC should be more concerned with providing accurate information about the limitations of birth control and the concerns of alcohol consumption, so that women can decide how to live their own safe, happy lives.

Let’s not fool ourselves. Voters are entitled to vote for who they want and endorse who they want. But, instead of treating the Christian right as a representation of Christians everywhere or as a set of voters based on tangible, Christian values, let’s call them as they are.

Those on the Christian right who support Trump—and certainly there are many who don’t and who fiercely campaign for other candidates—want a candidate who can match their xenophobia, authoritarianism and offensive rhetoric. Like Falwell’s endorsement, their support for Trump has nothing to do with Christianity.

OFFICIAL STILL from the movie “How to be Single,” starring an all-women cast, which is set to release Friday, Feb. 12. The film explores single life in New York City with many laughs along the way.

Wildcats in Hollywood: UA alum shows us “How to be Single”

BY ALEX GUYTON

The Daily Wildcat

The producer of “How to Be Single” is, of all things, recently married. John Rickard, a UA alumus, married in December while the film was in post-production.

“The movie got made, and I’m no longer single,” Rickard laughed.

“How to Be Single” plays at an advanced screening at the Century 20 El Con theater Wednesday before the film makes its wide release on Friday. I spoke with Rickard about his experience working on the movie and how he got to where he is today.

“How to Be Single” centers on Alice (Dakota Johnson, “Fifty Shades of Grey”), a young woman fresh out of college, and novice to both New York City and the single life. She meets Robin (Rebel Wilson), who shows Alice exactly how much fun NYC nightlife can be, in addition to how fun and important it is to discover your personal identity when given room to bloom. The supporting cast includes Alison Brie, Leslie Mann and Anders Holm.

Of course, Rickard didn’t start off producing major Hollywood films

with A-listers. He grew up in Santa Barbara, California, but ended up attending the UA where he graduated in 2001 with a degree in business management.

Even though he wasn’t involved with student film while on campus, Rickard always possessed interest in working with movies.

“I learned a lot by doing, instead of learning about it in school,” Rickard said.

“In hindsight, it would have been nice to know a little bit more about the cameras and the process before I stepped onto set.”

The “doing” that Rickard speaks of occurred when he took a semester off from school to be a production assistant on the film “Wonder Boys,” an experience that would set him up post-graduation.

Rickard finished his degree, and through connections he made on set, ended up working for bigwig Hollywood producer Scott Rudin for a year. He then worked as an assistant to Brett Ratner, the director and producer well known for the “Rush Hour” series.

Through these experiences, Rickard became familiar with New Line Cinema.

He saw a career opportunity for those who worked under New Line Cinema’s boss Toby Emmerich, and when the chance presented itself, became Emmerich’s assistant. After Rickard worked three years, the reward finally presented itself: a chance to produce.

Rickard served in a producing capacity on the 2010 remake of

Release: Friday Director: Christian Ditter Genre: Rom-com Starring: Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann Runtime: 110 min

“A Nightmare on Elm Street,” the “Horrible Bosses” series and “Jack the Giant Slayer,” among others.

To those outside of the film industry—and probably even to some within it—the term producer bears ambiguity. The screenwriter writes, the director directs and the producer … produces? Proof of the position’s importance: producers of a film are the ones that go on stage to accept the award for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Rickard explained the responsibilities of the role, which finds its origin in the Hollywood days of old.

“The role of the original producer back in like the 30s and 40s with the whole studio system … was to be a buffer between the creative director and the studio, and make sure both sides [were] getting what they need out of the movie; but, primarily, the producer’s job is to protect the whole film,” Rickard said.

Rickard further elaborated on the responsibilities of a producer, “A director gets caught up in the day-to-day of what they’re shooting, whereas a producer can have a little bit of an arm’s length distance … versus the studio, who probably

What’s your major: Race track industry

how to be single from page 12

BY Victoria Pereira

The Daily Wildcat

Hundreds of universities have English departments, fine arts colleges and various STEM programs, but only the UA can boast that it offers a degree in the animal racing industry.

In the early 1970s a group of executives in the horse and greyhound racing business decided that they wanted more educated people running the unique sport, gambling and entertainment venues across the country, and began looking for a college to start their program.

The UA took the plunge in 1974 and the Race Track Industry Program was born.

“There are hotel management schools and casino management schools … and that’s what we are, but for the horse racetrack industry,” said Doug Reed, director of the RTIP. The program offers both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees and features a mix of traditional four-year students, two-year transfer students and adults with a bachelor’s degree returning to school. The program teaches students to succeed in both the business and animal sides of the industry while offering two degree tracks.

Students in the major receive a foundation in all aspects of the industry.

Reed elaborated on how racetracks are such large, multifaceted ventures to run because they combine a sporting event with gambling, food and drink services and all the upkeep and security necessary for such a large facility.

Because of the betting aspect and the high importance of athlete and animal safety, RTIP students must take classes that specifically address the rules and regulations associated with horse racing. In addition, other required classes include horse breeding, care and training so that students get a well-rounded understanding of all facets of the business.

“What we want is to give a student a broad-based knowledge of the industry,” he said. “When they come out of here, they know a little bit about everything.”

Students take more in-depth classes and become specialized

Horses graze in the fields of the Campus Agricultural Center. Students in the Race Track Industry Program with the equine management emphasis care for, train and eventually sell horses raised at the Equine Center as part of various courses offered in the major.

in one side of the industry based on which degree track they choose. The business path features courses on track management, while the equine management track requires classes in which students work with live horses.

The RTIP has access to horses at the UA Equine Center on Campbell Avenue and Roger Road. Students help raise, train and sell the horses in different equine courses. The opportunities available for the students to further their education and experience don’t stop there though. All the professors and faculty in the RTIP pride themselves on possessing real experience in the business and sharing those experiences with students.

“I came here because I was interested in horse racing and all things horses when I was in high school,” said Wendy Davis, associate coordinator of the

program and primary student adviser, who has owned a training farm, worked in animal health and is still actively involved in the racing and horse showing industries.

Reed said he fell in love with racing while attending the Maryland State Fair as a child.

When he first tried to break into the industry, much of it was locked up by family ties and a “who-you-know” mentality.

Reed started working in maintenance at the same Maryland fair track and worked his way up the ranks by working as a racing official, secretary and multi-facility operator before coming to the UA. The faculty also puts together events and holds an annual international conference of industry professionals to assist students with networking opportunities. If the UA alumni are any indication, the program is overwhelmingly successful

at finding employment for its students.

Among the UA RTIP alumni is Bob Baffert, the famous racehorse trainer known for his training of American Pharaoh, the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.

Other program alumni include track owners and operators around the world, presidents and vice presidents of racing organizations and trainers and breeders abound.

The list is quite impressive and supported by the multitude of trophies in the Marshall Building where the program is headquartered.

Who knows, maybe the trainer of the next Triple Crown winner is somewhere on campus, studying for their next exam.

has too high up of a view of it and forgets about what the importance of a scene is.

Somehow, you have to find a way to make sure that those lines of communication are open between director and studio, but also not so that it hurts the movie in any sort of way.”

For “How to Be Single,” Rickard found that the film presented its own unique set of producing challenges. For one, German director Christian Ditter, whose second language is English, was directing his first film in the American studio system.

“A lot of it was making sure he was guided down the right path, and knew what to expect and how it works, so he can find his creative vision through the system,” Rickard said. “You want to promote creative environments for the creative people on your set to do what they do best.”

Up next on the docket for Rickard are films “Midnight Sun,” “Fist Fight” and “Rampage,” the latter an adaptation of the old video game series in which a giant gorilla, werewolf and lizard pulverize cities into rubble. Although he has a slate of movies ahead of him and a list of movies behind him, Rickard finds particular excitement in the early screening opportunity for “How to Be Single” among the student community.

“I’m very proud of all the movies I’ve made, I feel like this particular one really nails a different tone of romantic comedy that is going to speak very well to the students of the University of Arizona,” Rickard said. “It’s made for everyone, but at the same time, it will speak to these younger folks … This is an R-rated comedy, true-tolife version of the dating world and what it’s like to be out there now.”

Rickard lives the dream of a true-to-life Hollywood professional, and you can catch his latest film “How to be Single” in wide release starting this Friday.

Everyday a runway: UA’s best dressed

BY Mariel Bustamante The Daily Wildcat

The UA is unstoppable when it comes to basketball, the ZonaZoo, school spirit and academics; but we rule the world of student fashion. Wildcats in the Dirty T possess wardrobes so creative, classic and unique, that every day is a runway at UA. I went around campus to find the best-dressed Wildcats.

Sasha Hawkins, a creative writing sophomore, rocks a cute turtleneck sweater with leggings, Dr. Martens, round-circled sunglasses and a round top hat. Hawkins embraces new trends by incorporating the back-in-style turtleneck with her badass and ever-classic Dr. Martens. In short, Hawkins’ style is just as creative as her major.

Aimee Harvey, a nursing freshman, sports Air Jordan 1’s and stays true to the sneaker trend that many girls have embraced.

Incorporating a sneaker into a cute outfit like this striped T-shirt dress and throwback denim jacket with fur makes it both sporty and cute.

Adidas Superstars, Adidas Stan Smiths, hightop Vans, New Balances and Superga sneakers populate the campus.

Who said the staff at UA couldn’t dress well?

Robert Jaime, who works within Arizona Public Media’s Art Direction and Graphic Design, wears a white T-shirt, blazer, slimmed trousers and dress shoes that makes the perfect modern work and play outfit. If you see a professor dressing like this, compliment them.

Adidas has been huge this past year in collaborations with Stella McCartney, Urban Outfitters and Kanye West.

Agriculture business sophomore Melissa Bustamante models a unique Adidas tracksuit that we just could not resist taking a picture of. Go down to University Boulevard and walk right into Urban Outfitters where you can find a tracksuit similar to this and other apparel by Adidas.

Bustamante will turn heads with this awesome piece.

What’s better than white T-shirt and jeans? According to Corde Sweets, an architecture freshman, almost nothing. Yeezy Boost 350s, a pair of shoes on everyone’s wish list, accentuate Sweets’ goto look. This stylish dude encapsulates the definition of cool and made the perfect model for our photo shoot.

With trends and original looks, the Wildcats have fashion on lock at the UA. The takeaway: get creative, stay true to your style and you will always have the best look around.

St. Philip’s Farmers Market a weekend oasis

BY Michael Decindis The Daily Wildcat

tyler baker/The Daily Wildcat

Rich Crest Farms is one of the vendors that attends the weekly farmers market held on Sundays in St. Philip’s Plaza. Every week, dozens of vendors attend to sell various goods to Tucsonans.

Whether we attend them or not, the fact that a local farmers’ market exists in our community restores a bit of faith in humanity.

People take the time to create an experience where everyone can appreciate honest craftsmanship, and present a major change of pace from a highly populated urban environment Despite this, not many people know about the St. Philip’s Plaza Farmers Market on Campbell Avenue and East River Road. The Santa Catalina Mountains simply seem more alive at St. Philip’s Plaza under the desert air on a weekend morning. Every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., St. Philip’s becomes the heart of north Tucson when hundreds of locals trickle in and out of the plaza.

To put it another way: People say time is money; but time spent

at St. Philip’s Plaza puts true value in perspective. The market offers community and creativity, two things of which there can never be too much.

St. Philip’s Market has grown in size and popularity over the last few months. The entire forum flows with vendors throughout the morning and into the afternoon.

The sea of white tents entices those driving by to stop and check out the market.

The plaza now features such a vast array of different goods and services that St. Philip’s has become the place to go on the weekends.

Creativity comes in all different forms under the white tents.

St. Philip’s features a spectrum of craftsmanship that includes massage therapy, photography and jewelry making; and the food scene offers everything from packaged beef, to salmon, to peanut butter.

St. Philip’s consistently hosts

local music talent.

Ivan Mendez, a guitarist and UA senior studying entrepreneurship and management information systems, plays at St. Philip’s most weekends.

“What’s most fulfilling about playing at the market is the sense of community that the people foster with their attitudes?” Mendez said.

During the semester when things get busy, a sense of community outside of the university offers a valuable grounding effect for students.

The success of St. Philip’s speaks to its value in the Tucson community. Within a few moments of being there, the faces of the visitors give away the atmosphere guests are about to encounter. The market doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, so take a trip to St. Philip’s this semester.

Peach aims to fill social media void The Peach social media app launched just a month ago, but is it already struggling to keep up with other social norms?

BY Casey Aldava The Daily Wildcat

Facebook is fun, Twitter is tight, Snapchat is super, Instagram is innovative, Tumblr is terrific, Vine is vibrant and Pinterest is perfect.

But don’t you ever feel like your online social presence is lacking something?

Peach launched Jan. 7 from Vine co-founder Dom Hofmann, and became an overnight success. However, some say the new social media app is already dead after having fallen drastically on the iTunes app charts.

Peach, which is currently only available on iOS devices, “was fun for the first few minutes, but then it got boring because there’s not a lot of users I know,” said Neha Kwatra, a physiology freshman.

Kwatra recently downloaded Peach and has already noticed the reason for the decline of the once-popular app.

“It’s very easy to use, but it was boring because there isn’t much to it,” Kwatra said.

Because the app is new and already going downhill, there aren’t many users, and as a rule social media necessitates mores user in order to promote interaction between friends.

Shiv Kanth, a computer science graduate student, has been a Peach user since the day it was launched. “It’s beautifully designed, simple and clean,” Kanth said.

One of the unique features on Peach are the “magic words,” which are keywords that act as commands within the app.

“If I hit the letter ‘s’ Peach prompts a ‘song: what’s playing’ option,” Kanth said.

Like the Shazam app, this listens to music currently playing, recognizes it and gives an option to post it in just one click. There are many magic words the user can find in a page of the settings of Peach. Sharing about his use of magic words, Kanth said, “‘m’ is for sharing the distance I walked today, ‘d’ for draw, etc.”

With so many other popular social media sites around already, Peach isn’t as original as one might hope. “It seems to me like a mixture

of Snapchat and Twitter with some Facebook elements,” Kwatra said.

Unlike Twitter and Facebook, Peach does not have a live feed of friends’ posts, and instead users can select who sees each update. “That’s the biggest weakness. Who needs another social media app? There are so many already,” Kanth said.

A completely stand alone app, Peach possesses no option to add friends through Facebook or Twitter. Users want to connect through social media, not feel separated on an island.

“With no way to share my Peach posts on Twitter or Facebook and my friends activity declining, it looks like an uphill battle for Peach to stay in place,” Kanth said.

When reached out to for comments about certain criticisms of the app, and predictions for the future, the Peach app headquarters failed to comment.

Will Peach be the next Twitter? Or will it fall by the wayside with all of the other failed social media apps? Time will (quickly) tell.

Basketball in search of high quality wins

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi earns the bulk of his salary during this time of year.

As America’s foremost bracketologist, Lunardi provides weekly and eventually daily NCAA Tournament seeding projections.

In Lunardi’s latest bracket, which came out Monday, he placed Arizona, Kentucky and Duke in the same region.

Most years, those three bluebloods would snatch up the top seeds of whatever region they were designated.

But 2016 is not like most years.

Instead, Lunardi labeled Kentucky a four-seed, Arizona a five-seed and Duke a six-seed.

Wouldn’t that be a fun region to watch play out?

Across the internet, CBS Sports’ resident bracketologist Jerry Palm listed the UA as a six-seed.

Given Arizona’s overall lackluster resume, those projects seem to fall right into the ballpark of the Wildcats’ likely seeding for the NCAA Tournament.

Yes, plenty can change between now and Selection Sunday— approximately a month away—but Arizona would need to go on quite a run to dramatically improve its seed standing.

According to CBS Sports’ RPI Breakdown, Arizona ranks No. 29 nationally in RPI and No. 85 in strength of schedule.

The RPI is a formula which factors in a team’s winning percentage, its opponents’ winning percentage and its opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage.

It’s an inexact science, sure, but the RPI along with strength of schedule still serve as the main criteria used by the NCAA Selection Committee when assigning seeds.

Arizona’s numbers aren’t bad, per se, but they don’t represent the makeup of a top-seed, either.

Looking further into Arizona’s resume, the Wildcats are 0-2 against opponents with a top-25 RPI and just 1-2 against teams with an RPI in the 26-50 range.

Translation: Arizona is lacking quality wins.

Beating Gonzaga on the road and UNLV at home both appeared to be marquee victories at the

time, but neither West Coast program has lived up to preseason expectations—certainly not UNLV, whose head coach was fired in early January.

The Wildcats won’t get much credit for hanging tough with Providence at the DirecTV Wooden Legacy, nor their close losses to UCLA, USC and most recently Oregon.

Fortunately for Arizona, there are still enough opportunities to pick up some resume-bolstering wins.

The first one comes this Sunday, when USC arrives in town.

The Trojans rank No. 15 in the RPI, second in the Pac-12 Conference behind Oregon, who ranks third nationally.

It may be a surprise to see USC rated so highly, but the Trojans played a solid non-conference schedule.

In conference play, they’ve knocked off Arizona in quadruple overtime and swept rival UCLA.

“When you use the words depth [and] parity, a lot of times you’re just talking about USC,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “They’re a team that when you draw them in the NCAA Tournament, you start to watch them on that Sunday night, it won’t be a good feeling.”

If Arizona can beat USC on Sunday, that’ll give the Wildcats one top-25 RPI win to show off to the selection committee.

Two more such wins could come on Arizona’s next road trip, as both Utah and Colorado rank in the RPI top 25, as improbable as that may seem.

With a Rocky Mountain trip, Arizona could add a few fine strokes to its resume before it’s fatefully examined on Selection Sunday.

Professional basketball paychecks could easily be used to buy vehicles, jewelry and designer clothes. It takes generosity and selflessness to utilize that money by donating to charities instead of spending on personal possessions.

Former Arizona Wildcats basketball player Kyle Fogg is one of those athletes who wants to deliver some of his earnings from the game to those aching for help.

Fogg is a name UA fans haven’t heard much since his departure from Tucson nearly four years ago. At a blue-blood program like Arizona, anyone who doesn’t immediately make it to the NBA can be somewhat forgotten.

Fogg’s dreams of immediately playing in the association ended when in 2012, the shooting guard signed with the Houston Rockets but was waived less than a month later.

This allowed him to grow as a role player in the NBA Development League for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, where he averaged less than seven points in just 18 minutes per game.

While Fogg won a D-League championship in his lone season with the Vipers in 2013, he would soon take his talents overseas to Finland, playing for the Lapuan Korikobat.

For the first time in his life, Fogg was forced to battle with more foreign players than the token Eastern European on Arizona’s team, Kyryl Natyazhko.

“

I want to help build a school in Ghana. ... With the help from other people including my friends and family, I’m glad we’re making a difference.”

Power rankings: Ducks, ‘Cats on top

BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat

Through six weeks of league play, the Pac-12 Conference is still up for grabs.

But Oregon and Arizona are strenghtening their positions at the top

1

Oregon— The Ducks are playing tremendous basketball since January and are third in the country in RPI with the nation’s toughest schedule. Let’s see if Oregon falls victim to its own hype or can push its way into the top 10.

2

Arizona— Gabe York went 7-21 while Allonzo Trier fouled out after scoring only seven points and Arizona still beat the Washington Huskies. The Trojans come to town this week, and California schools have not been friendly to the Wildcats. However, Arizona has to keep its head up and perform.

There is no way around it.

3

USC— The Trojans visit Arizona on Valentine’s Day for a lovely battle in McKale Center. They get to feast on ASU two days before, so they should have fresh legs when they face off against the Wildcats.

THE DAILY WILDCAT

BECAUSE IT’S BASKETBALL SEASON AND...

BECAUSE THIS DOMESTIC CAT TOLD YOU SO...

4

Washington— While their performance against Arizona was entertaining, all those dunks were for naught. Luckily, dunks are only worth two points, or Arizona might have lost by 15.

5

Oregon State— The Beavers might have saved their season against Utah in a bizarre ending last Thursday. This team still lost to ASU a month ago, so that might be seen as an unforgivable blemish to the pollsters.

6

Colorado— Although they were swept this past weekend on their trip to Oregon, nobody will notice because the Broncos won the Super Bowl. Any good the Buffaloes do now is a bonus, so they have little to worry about.

7

Utah — The Utes decided it would be best to foul a shooter from half court against Oregon State and surprisingly, it was a bad decision. Anybody surprised by Utah’s incompetency needs to look no further than how the Utes almost blew it against Duke.

8

California— Cuonzo Martin and the nation’s fifth-ranked recruiting class have one month to solidify their spot in the tourney. They are only one game better through 23 games than last season, which makes absolutely no sense.

9

UCLA— In the Bruins’ last four games, they have lost every game where Bryce Alford takes more than 10 shots and won the game where he only took five. The only UCLA game in 2016 where he scored over 20 points and the Bruins won came against your Arizona Wildcats, so that’s wonderful.

10

Stanford— With a loss last week at the hands of rival Cal, the campaign for Christian McCaffrey to join the basketball team picked up some steam.

He does not even have to be effective, but he would still sell tickets, so why not give it a shot Stanford?

11

ASU— Bobby Hurley and the Sun Devils got a statement win last week against the Cougars to avoid the bottom spot. The Sun Devils improved from 12-12 to 13-11 this season through 24 games, so Hurley has to be considered a godsend in Tempe.

12

Washington State— The Cougars would have overtaken ASU had they beaten them in the toilet bowl last week but were unable to do it. Now their spot in the cellar might be solidified.

Question marks aplenty at start of spring practice

BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat

Return of the running game Arizona had a three-headed beast at the running back position last season behind the efforts from Nick Wilson, Jared Baker and Orlando Bradford.

Wilson came off a historic season his freshman year, rushing for 1,375 yards, but a knee injury in 2015 kept Wilson from finding much consistency. Jared Baker is gone, which means Bradford will slide up the depth chart to the No. 2 spot behind Wilson.

Head coach Rich Rodriguez received a couple of running back prospects in the 2016 recruiting class, and one player to look forward to in the offseason is J.J. Taylor.

“He is probably one of the most dynamic players in Southern California,” Rodriguez said on National Signing Day. “I liked him on film. Everyone says that he is small—no he is short, he is not small, there is a difference. He is a well built, extremely competitive, makes a lot of plays, played at a high level at a very competitive program that won a whole lot of games.”

New year, new ‘D’ Not seeing Scooby Wright III run out of the tunnel and make plays at Arizona Stadium will be tough for Arizona fans, but first-year defensive coordinator Marcel Yates will kick up the defensive intensity. Yates hails from Boise State, where his 4-2-5 defensive scheme exposed the Wildcats in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl.

Without the All-American Wright, the focus will go even further into the secondary.

Cam Denson will switch to wide receiver, but DaVonte’ Neal, Sammy Morrison, Jace Whittaker and Jarvis McCall Jr. will return.

For the safeties, Tellas Jones and linebacker hybrid Paul Magloire Jr. returns, so the leadership in the secondary won’t be an issue, but how they respond to the newcomers hungry for playing time should be interesting.

The Wildcats signed six defensive backs including a trio of three-star safeties who are all over 6 feet tall, so Arizona should be getting longer and more athletic in the secondary.

“We’re looking for taller, rangier safeties,”

Former Arizona guard Kyle Fogg (21) drives toward the hoop in McKale Center on Feb. 9, 2012. Fogg currently plays for Eisbären Bremerhaven in Germany.

Fogg swiftly made his presence felt in Finland, averaging 26.11 points and just fewer than five assists per game as a point guard.

The 2013-2014 season would be the year of Fogg, as he was not only the scoring champion, but also earned the Finnish League MVP award.

“I felt comfortable playing in Finland because I already had experience obviously playing at Arizona and then in the Summer League, as well as D-League. So getting adjusted to overseas wasn’t that big of an issue,” Fogg said. “I enjoy playing in Europe and even though it’s not the NBA, I have a bigger impact over here because I am that big fish in a little pond as opposed to me riding the bench in the NBA.” Returning to the NBA always lingered in the back of his mind after posting eyebrowraising numbers overseas.

But taking on a star role in a professional basketball league, even if it’s overseas, is an opportunity Fogg will always value.

“My agent and I talked about getting

Arizona running back Nick Wilson (28) carries the ball downfield at Arizona Stadium against NAU on Sept. 19, 2015. Wilson and the Wildcats begin spring practice Friday.

Rodriguez said. “Those guys can grow into playing other positions and that’s the biggest thing for us is that we have to have the ability to have guys to have multiple position players.”

No spring game Usually the entire buzz for Arizona football truly kicks in once the Wildcats have their annual spring game. It’s a chance to see the progression of Arizona and where they stand as a team.

Rodriguez allows a fan to call a play and it’s all fun and games for the spring game.

However in order to focus on fundamentals

back and playing in the NBA, but I like staying over here and making a difference for my team,” Fogg said. “Like, sure, I want to go back and play in front of my friends and family, but I got a good thing going on over here and I’d rather show out overseas than to sit on the bench in the NBA.” It wasn’t just Fogg’s performance on the basketball court that was MVP worthy, but his contributions to those suffering in Africa.

Fogg is a part of a nonprofit organization called Pencils of Promise. The group has been around since 2009 and its goal is to build schools in developing nations.

Pencils of Promise has built 330 schools and Fogg is in the process of building a school in Africa.

“I want to help build a school in Ghana,” Fogg said. “I know I’m not going to make a huge difference, but with the support from other people including my friends and family, I’m glad we’re making a difference.”

Fogg is matching any donation to his Pencils of Promise page and has so far raised 29 donations of $2,685. However, he is still short of his ultimate goal of reaching $25,000.

and not getting injured, Arizona will no longer set up a spring game for the time being.

“We are not going to have a spring game; the reason is just because I really don’t want one. I would rather just teach them and coach them,” Rodriguez said. “A lot of spring will be nontraditional. We still have to teach and coach fundamentals and the scheme. We are trying to really focus on specific things and teach a new defense this spring as well.”

— Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

His giving doesn’t stop at Pencils of Promise though.

In 2015, Fogg spent the summer in New York playing for the Overseas Elite squad that played in the million-dollar tournament known as “The Tournament.”

Fogg’s team went on to win the championship. An $87,000 paycheck came his way.

Fogg pulled the Rondae Hollis-Jefferson card and purchased a house for his mother in Chino Hills, California, so she could be closer to Fogg’s sister.

No, Fogg doesn’t have the money to provide athletic facilities to his alma mater like Richard Jefferson, but the former Wildcat is intent on being unselfish.

Right now, Fogg is still a professional basketball player, but he wants to be known for something much bigger than basketball.

“I love the game of basketball and have been passionate about it my entire life,” Fogg said, “but to me, I’ve been blessed with this talent to use the game to help others.”

Softball set to open 2016 campaign behind loaded pitching staff

BY Chris Deak

Finding someone to protect Mauga in the lineup will be key.

Freshman Alyssa Palomino seemingly was going to fit this role perfectly, but suffered an ACL tear on the first day of fall practice—an injury that will sideline her for the entire season.

Nonetheless, there are plenty of options for Candrea to choose from, including senior Lauren Young.

“Lauren Young is going to have to step up and give us some more consistency,” Candrea said.

The Daily Wildcat

The 2016 Arizona softball season is set to begin this weekend when the UA hosts the Hillenbrand Invitational at Hillenbrand Stadium.

The tournament gets underway Thursday evening and continues through Sunday afternoon.

The Wildcats open the season ranked No. 13 in the nation and were picked to finish third in the Pac-12 Conference.

New season brings different look The team will have a much different look than in previous years when the offense carried the team and lit up the scoreboard.

The losses of All-Americans Chelsea Goodacre, Kellie Fox and Hallie Wilson have opened up plenty of space in one of the Pac-12’s best lineups from last year.

Instead, the Wildcats will look to end their five year Women’s College World Series drought behind a bolstered pitching rotation.

The team had a school-worst 4.34 ERA on the season last year and emphasized building a stronger rotation for the 2016 campaign.

Instant improvements The recruitment of highly rated lefthander Taylor McQuillin has immediately improved the quality of the Wildcats rotation. McQuillin comes to Tucson with some very high praise from head coach Mike Candrea.

“She reminds me a lot of a ‘Cat’ Osterman, someone who really spins the ball well,” Candrea said. “No pitch she throws is the same.”

In addition to McQuillin, the team will get its first sight of redshirt junior transfer

Arizona Athletics

Arizona outfielder Katiyana Mauga (34) steps back to catch a fly ball at the NCAA Regionals on May 15, 2015.

Mauga is expected to lead the Wildcats’ lineup this season.

Danielle O’Toole.

O’Toole was one of the top pitchers in the Mountain West Conference in the 2013 and 2014 seasons,before sitting out last year.

O’Toole is also left-handed, giving the team two top of the rotation lefties.

Veterans taking over Last year’s ace Michelle Floyd returns this season along with Nancy Bowling,

who missed all of last season due to injury.

Another freshman, Tamara Statman, rounds out the five-woman rotation.

Even with the departures of their top offensive players, the Wildcats still have a powerful lineup, led by USA Softball Player of the Year watch list contender Katiyana Mauga. The junior is already one of the most prolific home run hitters in school history, smashing 46 homers in her first two years.

Setting the lineup Hillary Edior and Bowling should also add some middle of the lineup punch, but the top of the lineup could be a strength as well.

Mandie Perez will take over the leadoff role, replacing Wilson. Perez had a fantastic fall, according to Candrea, and is expected to be among the team’s most consistent batters.

The defense will see a lot of turnover as well.

Mauga will move from right field to third base this year, and Mo Mercado will move from second base to shortstop, where she was originally recruited to play.

Meanwhile, Young will move behind the plate—a new position for her.

The team may very well have nine new starters defensively on the diamond.

Arizona’s reshaped roster takes the field Thursday at 6 p.m., when the Wildcats host Southern Utah.

Wildcat Gymnastics, football RoundUP and women’s golf

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

Gymnastics falls to Cal Arizona gymnastics dropped a road meet to No. 21 California on Monday night by a score of 196.825-196.00.

The GymCats received a handful of solid showing, but could not hang with the Golden Bears through the four events.

Selynna Felix-Terrazas and Gabrielle Laub were the high scorers on the uneven bars, while Shelby Edwards and Jessie Sisler were the top vault scorers.

During the floor routine, sophomore Kennady Schneider tied a career-high with a score of 9.90.

Arizona ended with a season-high score on the balance beam.

The GymCats return home this weekend to face Stanford for a 7 p.m. matchup on Saturday.

Swimming and diving ends regular season with ASU split

Women’s golf struggles in Palo Verdes

The Arizona men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs competed in their last duel meet of the season this past weekend at ASU. The women cruised to a 208-88 victory over the Sun Devils, but the men dropped their meet by a score of 168-132.

Arizona women won 12 of the 16 events.

In the women’s 200-yard medley relay, the “A” team of Annie Ochitwa, Emma Schoettmer, Mackenzie Rumrill and Taylor Schick placed first with a time of 1:38.06.

Ochitwa, a freshman out of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, also took home first place in the women’s 50-yard freestyle and the women’s 100-yard butterfly.

In the final event of the day on the women’s side, the team of Katrina Konopka, Bonnie Brandon, Ochitwa and Schick won the 200-yard freestyle relay with a 1:29.35 time.

For the men, January Pac-12 Conference Diver of the Month Rafael Quintero placed first in the 1-meter and 3-meter.

Quintero is a senior diver looking to earn his fourth consecutive All-American honors later this spring.

The men’s and women’s teams now have a few weeks off to prepare for the Pac-12 Conference championships, which will be held in Federal Way, Washington, beginning on Feb. 24.

Arizona women’s golf, ranked No. 10 nationally according to Golfweek, found itself in 10th place heading into the final day of the Northup Grunman in Palo Verdes, California.

Competing against a handful of the country’s top teams, the Wildcats could not find a groove through the first two days, placing a score of 35 over par after the second round.

Football spring practice gets underway Friday Arizona football will get to an unusually early start to spring practice this year when players suit up for the first time this Friday.

Spring ball wraps up on March 25.

Last week, Arizona head football coach Rich Rodriguez said the team would not host a spring game this year.

The Wildcats are coming off a 7-6 season that ended with a 45-37 victory over New Mexico at the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
