Legacy of victims burns bright

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

UA students reacted to the Chapel Hill murders by holding a candlelight vigil outside the Student Union Memorial Center on Thursday evening.

“We organized this to remember and commemorate Deah [Barakat], Yusor [Mohammad Abu-Salha] and Razan [Mohammad Abu-Salha,] who were taken away from us,” said Tasnim Zahlan, a global studies junior and member of UA

Students for Justice in Palestine.

“We want to remember their legacy and what they stand for.”

Azba Khan, a senior studying molecular and cellular biology and Middle Eastern and North African studies, is also a member of SJP. Khan said she and Zahlan worked to bring this event together under the name of SJP and added that the two began planning for this event on Wednesday night.

“It doesn’t matter about the size,” Khan said, “as long as

someone came out and feels that their lives were worth remembering.”

The vigil started out with the lighting and passing out of candles to those who had gathered, including sisters Fatima and Amna Chaudhary.

“We came to learn more about them, show our support and just to spread the word about how hate crimes do happen, since mainstream media isn’t really reporting on it,” said Fatima Chaudhary, a civil engineering junior.

Amna Chaudhary, an undeclared freshman, said that despite the lack of media coverage, the murders at Chapel Hill are an important issue.

Both sisters said they are members of the Palestine student association and wanted to come show support for not only the families of those murdered but for the community around them.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re Muslim or non-Muslim,” Khan said. “If you see somebody spreading hate or someone

UA students, faculty and other Sun Tran riders may have to adjust their campus travel plans due to changes in Sun Tran routes and schedules that came into effect Sunday.

Kandi Young, director of marketing and communications for Sun Tran, said the changes are to increase the efficiency of the service and provide more transit options for passengers.

Tucson’s mayor and council approved recommended changes that were made based on the Bus/Rail Interface Report and the Comprehensive Operation Analysis from 2014.

Young said the Downtown Loop free transit route will discontinue service.

The University South Foundation, Inc., and the Consulate of Mexico in Douglas, Ariz., increased the amount of financial aid and scholarships available to students of mainly Hispanic descent attending UA South.

“A couple of weeks ago, we gave out $40,000 worth of scholarships to 11 students,” said Melissa Silva, student services coordinator for UA South in Douglas. She created the Education Unidos scholarship fund after noticing that many students were not qualifying for scholarships. The scholarships are funded by the UA South Foundation, Inc., the Mexican Consulate and fundraising on behalf of UA South.

During her prior work with Hispanic students, Silva suspected that a language barrier might have affected their chances of academic success.

After several failed efforts in trying to help students qualify for scholarships,

UA South gives $40K in scholarships

Active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses have the opportunity to pursue higher education with the aid of scholarships provided by the Pat Tillman Foundation.

The UA is one of the Foundation’s 18 university partners of the Tillman Scholars University Partner program and has already funded about 20 UA students, with eight who are currently active scholars, said Elizabeth

O’Herrin, director of programs at the Pat Tillman Foundation.

The scholarships from the Pat Tillman Foundation are available for those pursuing their undergraduate or graduate careers at a public or private U.S.-based, accredited institution. The application process for potential Tillman Scholars is open for eligible students until March 3. Scholarships are eligible for renewal every academic year.

Cody Nicholls, assistant dean of students for Veterans Education and Transition Services, said that the increasing the number of Tillman

scholars at UA is not about numbers; it is about presenting an opportunity to current and former service members and their spouses.

“The program in itself is about networking and engagement and about those who served for a compelling reason,” Nicholls said. “All of our veterans have a compelling story in terms of why they chose to serve.”

The average amount of financial aid given to each recipient was $14,000, Nicholls said.

Silva reached out to the UA South Foundation, which matched the funds 57 cents to the dollar.

Patricia Leyva, a senior studying government and public service, was among this year’s scholarship recipients. She said receiving the scholarship made her “teary-eyed.”

“I’ve seen the lack of opportunities the Hispanic/Latino culture has; … it’s very expensive,” Leyva said.

Leyva, a full-time mom with a 19-year-old son, stated the scholarship has provided her with a sense of security and personal worth. She also stated she had applied for the scholarship once before and is receiving it for the second time. Leyva expressed her gratitude to her adviser, Silva.

“If I can do it — and I am a 42-year-old single mom — anyone can do it,” Leyva said.

In previous years, the total funds available to Hispanic students amounted to $12,000, Silva said.

UA South Dean Jim Shockey added that they “look for ways to decrease the barriers for students.”

Shockey emphasized the importance of providing accessible, convenient and affordable education for students who enroll at UA South.

“Learning has become one of the greatest passions of my life,” said Alan Manquero, a senior studying organizational leadership and another recipient of the award. “The award gave me hope for the future.”

Manquero is an active member of the Douglas community and is currently employed by the city of Douglas.

“I feel I am a totally different individual from the one who registered at UA two years ago; … I feel like I’m living the life I was destined to live now,” Manquero said.

Total Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes For those familiar with the official Jack Daniel’s Praline Pecans, here’s a recipe to make your own variation at home.

The official product is caked in coating, sacrificing the flavor and texture of the pecan for a heavy Jack Daniel’s flavor that almost makes it like a candy. This recipe makes a coating that is flavorful but doesn’t mask the flavor or crunchy texture of the pecan.

minutes, but all trips travel to PCC East instead of varying trips,” Young said about route three. “This provides more convenience to those traveling to PCC East and will help with overcrowding on select buses due to high school student travel.”

The frequency of service for route four has been adjusted slightly as well. From 6-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m., the bus will arrive every 15 minutes instead of every 10, and during the midday trips, the bus will arrive every 10 minutes instead of every 15, Young said.

“The frequency switched, because ridership numbers indicated more passengers needed route four service during midday hours,” Young said.

Daniel Abert-Cota, an animal sciences junior, said he takes route four to campus every weekday. “[These changes] will make using the Sun Tran for transportation outside of school or work less efficient or more difficult,” Abert-Cota said.

Young also said route six will no longer serve the Tucson International Airport but that passengers can switch to or continue to use routes 11 or 25 to get to and from the airport.

Route 15 also no longer terminates at the UA, Young said.

Instead, the route ends at the Tohono Tadai Transit Center and 22nd Street.

Marilyn Sheck, a seasonal Tucson resident, said she and her husband ride the Sun Tran almost every day. They take route 15 to get to the UA Cancer Center on Campbell Avenue.

“It will be harder for us to get to the cancer center from downtown,” Sheck said. “We’ll probably have to take a route that goes to a point that intersects with the 15 somewhere and transfer to the 15 for the rest of the trip.”

Jack Daniel’s Candied Pecans

Preheat your oven to 325 F. Over a medium heat source, combine the sugar, instant coffee/cocoa powder, cinnamon and Jack Daniels into a skillet/frying pan. Using instant coffee over cocoa powder results in a more robust flavor.

Mix these ingredients thoroughly; a whisk works well. Bring the mixture to a boil; you only need to see a few bubbles.

Mix in the pecans, and stir until they are evenly covered with the mixture. The pecans won’t be heavily coated in the mixture; the amount of ingredients results in the pecans having a nice glaze.

Put the coated pecans in the 325 F oven for 10 minutes until the coating has dried. At this stage, monitor very closely. It is surprisingly easy to over shoot by just a few minutes and over cook them.

Let them cool, and enjoy!

15K students explore time and space

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

Around 15,000 students from more than 170 different countries enrolled in “Astronomy: Exploring Time and Space,” a new online course taught by UA professor Chris Impey that launched Sunday.

The course is offered in a partnership with UA and Coursera, a for-profit online education company that began negotiations with the UA in 2013. Impey teaches a similar but less rigorous online astronomy course through Udemy, another online learning platform that has about 23,000 students enrolled.

It’s neat that we now have a university partnership with Coursera and are able to do this as an official outreach from the UA said Matthew Wenger, an educational technologist in astronomy who has worked closely with Impey. “I think [it] is really exciting, and to try this new, learning platform is going to be a really nice opportunity to test out some of our course curriculum ideas.”

Impey said he is looking forward to engaging with Coursera’s demographic.

“The average age is around 30, and 50-60 percent already have a degree,” he said. “This isn’t a typical demographic of a class I might teach here. I am looking forward to a high level of exchange.”

Students can take the class for free or buy a verified completion certificate for $49. Impey said the revenue raised from the class will

be split evenly between Coursera and the university.

Impey also currently teaches the Udemy course.

“I just want to keep learning how to … teach online better,” Impey said. “The data from astronomy comes from space and telescopes, so working on the Internet is pretty reasonable. Most of what we do face-to-face can be done in some version online.”

Impey said he will continue the course on Udemy, because it continues to gain about 1,000 new students a month and is fairly low maintenance.

The main difference between his two courses are the content and features available.

“Udemy is sort of the ‘cool topics’ of astronomy for someone who just wants to know about black holes, dark energy and exoplanets,” Impey said. “The Coursera course is a more rigorous flow throughout astronomy.”

Carmen Austin is a general studies senior who has worked with Impey for three years. Austin not only helps with the production of videos but also manages social media accounts and moderates live discussions.

“Coursera is such a different platform than Udemy,” Austin said.

“Coursera is much more academic and has a larger user base. I think it’s a better fit for what our course is.”

Wenger said the videos comprise the primary course materials and are “developed from scratch.”

“We ended up developing and

making eight more hours of new video content for the course,” Wenger added.

Other than the video lectures, Impey said that there is more to do with Coursera compared to Udemy, because there are more evaluations, pedagogies, quizzes, writing assignments and activities.

“I’m really excited to see how things turn out,” Austin said. “Since this is our second time doing this, we have a slightly better course prepared for the students.”

Impey said that, every year, he teaches a mini astronomy class to NASA engineers and also goes to North India to teach Buddhist monks cosmology. He said they challenge him and are incredibly engaged learners.

“I think that what’s helped me teach online, strangely, is the all the teaching I do outside the university with … widely different groups of people,” he said. “So, it teaches me different ways to engage with learners of any age and background.”

He also added that other than learning how the new partnership functions, the course also plays a role in spreading the UA’s brand, as his videos are filled with things happening in Tucson.

Impey said with his two classes totaling around 40,000, in the end, it may also provide an outreach push for the university.

Cervantes said. “It’s been a huge part of transitioning out of active duty into being a fulltime student and still having the responsibility of raising a family.”

There is huge growth for personal and professional development within the scholar program, Cervantes said. He said the most humbling experience he had was attending the annual Pat Tillman Leadership Summit in Chicago, where he was able to be around a community that was driven and selfless — framing the way he thought about life and service. He added that, even if money was not offered, he would have been honored to be a scholarship recipient.

“The money you get will be gone tomorrow,” Cervantes said, “but who you become and who you strive to become as a result really impacts your life.”

Abortion protestors use false arguments

BY Elizabeth Hannah The Daily Wildcat

J

ustice For All, a radical anti-abortion group, made its annual appearance on the UA Mall on Thursday. This year, in addition to the usual cohort of volunteers that preach extremism and ignorance under the guise of “life-saving dialogue,” JFA brought a large sign depicting human embryonic development. Written above the pictures of a growing fetus were the words, “Where do you draw the line?” Targeted at unwary students and faculty, the sign ostensibly asked passersby to identify the developmental stage at which a fertilized egg becomes a human.

Last year, JFA arrived on campus with a graphic display of aborted fetuses and genocide victims. The group constructed a massive, elaborate display of posters that compared abortion to the American Indian Genocide and to the Holocaust. It erected signs informing us that aborting fetuses is as immoral as executing citizens under the death penalty or testing products on animals. Aside from being uninformed and disgustingly offensive, JFA’s display created an irritating roadblock for pedestrians on their way to work and class.

Compared to last year’s presentation, this year’s singular sign almost seemed modest.

It tried to lend JFA the credibility it does not deserve, and tried to make us forget JFA only has one goal: to criminalize abortion.

Although JFA presented its message as a question, in reality, the question was rhetorical. According to JFA, there is no “line” that separates an embryo from a living, breathing human. The organization contends that abortion should be outlawed under all circumstances, because life begins at conception.

In addition to “engaging students in conversation,” JFA volunteers spent their time on campus passing out informational packets filled with provocative statements such as, “When fertilization is complete, a unique genetic human entity exists,” and, “Science has a very simple conception of man; as soon as he has been conceived, a man is man.”

The first statement is frightfully misleading, and the second is blatantly false.

True, a fertilized egg has a complete set of genetic information. So do skin cells and liver cells. In fact, practically every cell in our bodies contains exactly the same DNA. Gene expression, as opposed to genetic differences, differentiates muscle cells from brain cells. Possessing a full genome is a necessary but insufficient condition for a living organism to be considered “human.”

Just because my liver is a “unique genetic human entity” compared to your liver, it doesn’t make my liver a viable human person.

Moreover, science does not have a “simple conception of man,” and it probably never will. The question “When does a fetus become a human?” has no objective answer; rather, it prompts a debate guided by emotion and subjectivity. Neither of these things should be used to determine the legality of abortion.

In an effort to counter JFA’s anti-choice propaganda, UA VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood set up a table to educate students about sexual health.

“Obviously, we don’t agree with their stance on abortion,” said Georgia Behrend, VOX secretary and treasurer. “However, they have a right to be there, so we wanted to have a presence as well in order to explain the necessity of keeping abortion safe and legal.

Our table was all about explaining why we should trust women to be able to make their own decisions about their bodies.”

Behrend noted that by teaching women about safe sex and contraception, we can prevent them from having to choose abortion in the first place.

JFA and other pro-life extremists ignore a critical fact in their crusade against women’s choice: the legal status of abortion does not affect its continued existence. Abortion has existed as long as women have been giving birth, and it will continue to exist regardless of whether the U.S. government deems it “legal.”

Illegal abortion roughly translates to unsafe abortion. In 2006, the World Health Organization estimated that nearly 70,000 women across the globe die each year from either self-inflicted abortions or abortions carried out under dangerous, unsanitary conditions. Most of these deaths occur in developing countries with highly restrictive abortion laws.

In a perfect world, all pregnancies would be planned, mothers would never experience medical complications and women would never get raped.

But we don’t live in a perfect world.

No woman wakes up in the morning hoping to terminate a pregnancy.

Unfortunately, circumstances sometimes make that the best option, and propaganda from groups such as JFA should not be allowed to endanger the lives of women who are forced to seek out abortions.

Don’t let lies beat out truth

BY Tom Johnson

The Daily Wildcat

W

hen the global warming apocalypse comes and if any of us are still around to see it, we should eat the Koch brothers first. David and Charles Koch are one of the main funders of global warming denialism, so they should be held culpable/delicious for what comes, along with GOP political message-gimp Frank Luntz, who practically wrote the book on Republican global warming denial. And who we should also consider eating first.

While I joke about the cannibalism, there are people spreading ideas today that are producing demonstrable harm — not just global warming denialism but also the anti-vaccination movement and the misogynist, right-wing, Christian Quiverfull movement. When a lie is repeated often enough, psychology shows us that people begin to believe

it’s true. All of these movements rely on this tactic to spread their falsehoods and influence culture.

And yet, none of the people behind these lies face any repercussions for their wicked deeds.

One does not see Jenny McCarthy held accountable for the lives lost to preventable childhood disease.

Michael and Debi Pearl, who wrote a manual for the parents of the Quiverfull movement called “To Train Up a Child,” which recommends beating children into obedience and submission using tools like “plastic plumbing tubing” and “willowy branches,” have been linked to the deaths of three children from 2006 to 2011. The

book continues to sell copies.

Certainly, thanks to freedom of speech, they cannot be punished by the state.

“The First Amendment requires ‘breathing room’ around our political speech, even when it teeters on false or may inflict significant emotional distress,” said Toni Massaro, a UA constitutional law professor.

Her solution?

“The remedy, according to Justice [Louis] Brandeis, is to engage in counterspeech,” Massaro said, “and allow the ‘marketplace of ideas’ act as the crucible, rather than government sanctions.”

This reminds one of an old Mark Twain quotation: “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

There are people spreading ideas today that are producing demonstrable harm

And indeed, as evidenced by the examples above, there can be horrible monopolies in the marketplace of ideas, even when those ideas are terrible and have the potential to kill children. But, we have to do the best with what we have, and that means we the people need to push the those who are dangerous out of the market.

We need to be loud about it. When somebody you know regurgitates anti-vaxxer talking points, call them on it. When somebody you know is reciting points from one of these scumbags, tell them why that person is an asshole. When people endorsing vile sentiments are given a platform, call the platform-givers out.

Because, ultimately, discrediting them is the only power we have when it comes to repercussions for these liars.

Extremists not reflective of religion

BY Maddy Bynes The Daily Wildcat

L

ast week in Chapel Hill, three Muslims were shot.

The shooter, Craig Hicks, is an atheist — or, as religion scholar Reza Aslan described him to NPR, an anti-theist, which goes beyond run-of-the-mill atheism to “virulent opposition to the very concept of belief.”

Vicious debate has ensued on news and social media alike over whether Hicks’ beliefs were a motivating factor in the murders.

The overall argument has followed the narrative driving the recent American story — a narrative that links extremist terrorism to the peaceful religion of Islam.

Of course Islam has motivated terrible acts before, people say. The only question is whether atheism can play or has played a similar role.

Islam is a religion many people do not understand. In fact, in the week prior to last, President Barack Obama made a comment at the National Prayer Breakfast explaining that Islam is not the only religion to experience extremism. With that, he opened the floodgate to hundreds of critical comments.

horrendous acts of terror, especially in the South. But most Christians deplore using the name of Christ to legitimize these acts.

Obama’s message should be similarly framed: This is not Islam. This is a faction of extremists who have twisted words of peace into words inciting fear in the hearts of others.

Just as we recognize Christianity to be a peaceful and loving religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, we should know Islam as a peaceful and loving religion based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.

The KKK is no reflection of Christianity, and Islamic State is no reflection of Islam.

Let’s be honest about history when we are criticizing Obama’s speech.

Religions of all kinds have been used for sowing goodness and greatness.

They’ve also been used to further evil. The latter shouldn’t poison our opinion of the former, and the latter certainly shouldn’t be laid at the feet of Islam alone.

In October 2001, “The West Wing” aired an episode shortly after the 9/11 attacks in which Josh, an advisor to the president, wrote an analogy on a white board: “Islamic Extremist is to Islam as the KKK is to Christianity.”

Obama is not alone in asserting that Islam is not the only religion to have extremism in its history. Virtually every religion — Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism — has its extremist sects.

The fact is that the U.S. has created a culture where only Islam is synonymous with terrorism.

Though Obama was correct in his assertion that terrorists hail from all religions, races and ethnicities, he failed to make his argument without attacking others. Instead of criticizing equivalent acts of terror in Christianity, he should have mentioned that many modernday Muslims denounce worldwide acts of terror. He should have focused on the fact that, while all religions have their terrorist entities, the majority of every religion’s followers denounce its forms of extremism.

His message was muddled because Americans became defensive of Christianity. The Ku Klux Klan did claim to be a Christian organization and did commit

Every religion … has its extremist sects

LUCKY DAY!

Can’t stop, won’t stop

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was notified of a non-UA-affiliated individual in a 2015 gray Kia failing to stop at a stop sign at Second Street and Park Avenue on Jan. 26 at approximately 8:33 a.m.

The officer activated his emergency lights to stop the vehicle in traffic. The car made a right turn on Second Street and proceeded east to Olive Road before stopping.

The officer advised the driver why she was stopped and asked for her license, registration and proof of insurance. A check on the driver’s license revealed that it was suspended.

She was cited and released for driving under a suspended license and for failing to stop at a stop sign. Her vehicle was impounded.

Tucson Wrecker Pool towed the car, and the traffic stop was recorded on an L3 camera.

Shower threats

A UA student contacted UAPD about threats she was receiving while in the shower at Posada San Pedro Residence Hall on 601 N. Highland Ave. on Jan. 27 at approximately 11:15 p.m.

The UAPD officer that responded to the call initially made contact with the resident assistant in the building.

The RA said that he was told by a female tenant that she heard another tenant being threatened inside the shower.

The threat was made during quiet time by one of the girls living in Room 337.

Some girls were in the shower singing on the third floor when another girl came into the bathroom, opened the shower door and told them to keep it down, since she was sleeping.

The tenant heard one of the girls saying, “Quiet, or I’ll beat your ass.” She told the officer that she did not see the incident take place and just heard it from inside her dorm room.

According to the report, she did not want to press the issue because of fear of retaliation from the girls in Room 337.

The officer had no luck locating the girl who was threatened but received word that the students in Room 337 were loud and disturbing. The officer was aware that this room doesn’t cooperate well with the police due to prior contacts.

The officer went to the room and spoke with the girls, who were uncooperative at first and dodged questions.

The girls claimed they were talking with each other inside of the shower room and that there weren’t any threats being made.

They admitted to being loud and playing music inside the room and agreed to lower their music and not be loud during quiet hours.

The officer advised them that tenants on the third floor were afraid of them, and they couldn’t understand why.

It was determined that no criminal acts were committed.

They said they would cooperate with UAPD and RAs in the future.

of the game later that inning after a wild pitch by Michael Marsinek.

“For me, it feels good again,” Arizona coach Andy Lopez said.

“They look like they want to compete, which is the big thing.”

Arizona outscored the Eagles 16-3 on Saturday, thanks in large part to Scott Kingery, who went 5-6 from the plate and was a double short of a cycle.

Kingery’s weekend resume included four runs and five RBIs, three of which were on Saturday.

He also hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the second inning on Saturday night and finished 7-13 at the plate over the weekend.

“Scott Kingery had a great weekend offensively,” Lopez said.

“But a few other guys did, too.”

With Arizona men’s basketball leading 46-19 with 2:20 left in the first half, Arizona coach Sean Miller angrily called a time out after Washington State scored back-to-back field goals.

The message was clear: Miller won’t tolerate the kind of lapses that led to shocking defeats at lowly UNLV, mediocre Oregon State and ASU men’s basketball. With that intensity, the No. 7 Wildcats (22-3, 10-2 Pac-12 Conference) dominated Washington State 86-59 on Sunday.

Since losing to ASU, the Wildcats have routed Washington 86-62 and then Washington State, improving their road record to 6-3. Arizona didn’t hold the Cougars to 25 points again, but the win was mighty impressive.

How often do you get to play the walk-ons in back-to-back road games?

The Wildcats were the walking wounded, playing without backup point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright and backup center Dusan Ristic. Plus, point guard T.J. McConnell looked a bit off, guard Gabe York looked a little dazed and forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was shaken up.

Plus, the Washington trip is absolutely brutal. Arizona had to fly across the country, then take a bus ride across the state to remote Pullman, Wash.

However, the Wildcats beat the Cougars so bad, they were out-scored 40-33 in the second half and still won by 27.

Assuming McConnell and Hollis-Jefferson are OK, the Washington State win was exactly what Arizona needs. The Wildcats emptied the bench and gave their starters a little rest before this short week begins. We were able to make a bunch of jokes on Twitter about Washington State’s struggles, and Miller got more ammo to improve the Wildcats’ fatal flaw.

Arizona has a problem with focus, evidenced by its embarrassing losses and its reaction. After losing to UNLV, the Wildcats beat ASU 73-49.

Arizona baseball opened the season with a three-game series sweep over Eastern Michigan

BY NICOLE COUSINS The Daily Wildcat

Arizona baseball completed a three-game sweep of the Eastern Michigan Eagles Sunday, closing out the afternoon game 6-2.

Backed by strong pitching and big batters, the Wildcats (3-0) proved they are back in 2015. Starters Austin Schnabel, Robby Medel and Tyger Talley combined for 21.2 innings and 17 strikeouts over the three games.

“I think it’s big that our starters could go really deep in the games this weekend,” said Talley, who contributed nine of those strikeouts.

Talley, who typically pitched five to six innings last season, went for 7.1 innings on Sunday and retired 13 straight batters before Bobby Dalbec took over in

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball was swept on the road this weekend

by Oregon and Oregon State. The two losses drop the Wildcats to 9-16 overall and 2-12 in Pac-12 Conference play.

Arizona traveled to Corvallis on Sunday afternoon where it fell 73-48 to No. 8 Oregon State.

The story of the game was found on the glass, where the Beavers outrebounded the UA 48-22. No Wildcat player had more than four boards.

Arizona, nonetheless, kept the game competitive in the first half with the deficit never reaching double digits until 6:40 remained.

Oregon State opened up on a 12-4 run to solidify the lead in the second half. The Beavers also started to lock down defensively, holding Arizona to under 22 percent from the field in the half.

Arizona forwards LaBrittney Jones and Alli Gloyd each scored a team-high 10 points to lead the UA offensively. Meanwhile, Arizona guard Candice Warthen’s nine points moved her to No. 16 on the school’s all-time scoring list.

Arizona couldn’t do enough to slow down Oregon State on defense.

the eighth. Talley also recorded 72 strikes in 102 pitches in his three-hit appearance.

Eastern Michigan took an early lead on Sunday, responding to the Wildcats’ one-run first with a solo home run by Mitchell McGeein in the second inning.

The Eagles scored again in the third inning off a fielder’s choice and held Arizona to one run through the fifth.

The Wildcats capitalized on a pair of throwing errors from Eastern Michigan pitcher Jake Andrews in the sixth inning.

Kevin Newman, Tyler Krause and Dalbec all reached home plate to go ahead 4-2.

SOFTBALL

Arizona improves to 9-0 over weekend

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Six games in four days didn’t faze No. 12 Arizona softball, as the Wildcats won all six games to improve to 9-0 on the season.

Winning all six games wasn’t really the news of the weekend, either; it was the way the Wildcats won.

Arizona defeated Drake twice, Loyola Marymount, Wright State, San Jose State and Loyola Chicago to finish the 2015 Hillenbrand Invitational unscathed.

The Wildcats outscored those five opponents by a remarkable tally of 61-6, including 32 total runs coming on Friday alone.

Arizona’s most recent matchup saw the Wildcats matched up with Drake for the second time over the weekend. Arizona defeated Drake 8-0 in five innings, led by pitcher Nancy Bowling’s complete game performance.

Arizona outfielder Katiyana Mauga hit two home runs in the game, with the second being of the walk-off variety. Mauga’s tworun bomb in the bottom of the fifth inning put the Wildcats up by the maximum eight runs to end a game after five innings.

“I was excited just because I got on base, actually,” Mauga said.

While Mauga paced the Wildcats

offensively, Bowling did the same on the mound. The junior pitched five innings of shutout ball and gave up just five hits and two walks, lowering her ERA to 1.17 in the process.

In her first extended action of the season, Bowling said the defense behind her played a big part in her success on Sunday.

“I love it; it’s beautiful,” Bowling

said. “When you go out there and you’re pitching, say, for instance, there’s a hit. You’re like, ‘Whatever.’

You don’t care if the ball gets hit, because you know you have the best defense behind you.”

Saturday’s action was much of the same as Arizona took down San Jose State 9-1 in six innings

Women’s tennis gets ‘tough’ win

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 6

Dalbec cleared the fence to lead off the eighth inning on Saturday as well, making it the first time in almost two years that Arizona hit two homers in one game. The “jack-of-all-trades” also pitched a perfect 1.2 innings to close out Sunday’s game.

Arizona featured a handful of new names in its lineup over the weekend, including freshman first baseman J.J. Matijevic, who doubled in his first at-bat as a Wildcat.

“It’s been an experience like nothing else,” Matijevic said. “The atmosphere on Friday, that first start and first hit was awesome.”

Matijevic traded off time at first with San Francisco transfer Sawyer Gieseke, who chipped in a hit and two runs in Saturday’s victory and a run and RBI on Sunday.

The opening series included three of what will be 19 games in 23 days for the Wildcats. They host 10 in a row, seven after this weekend, then head to Starkville, Miss., for four games. They will then return home for five more before the Pac-12 Conference opener against Utah on March 13.

“It’s important, for one, because you get to play a lot of people,” Lopez said. “Practice is nice, but practice is practice. You need to play games and need to find out who wants to play when the lights go on.”

Arizona returns to Hi Corbett Field Tuesday at 6 p.m. to host North Dakota State.

The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s tennis team has been on a tear for the past few weekends. The No. 38 Wildcats played a tough, physical match against No. 65 Brigham Young where they battled to come out on top 4-3. Arizona has been consistently working on its doubles game lately, and it showed when the team started out 2-0 against BYU. “We did a really good job today in the doubles,” Arizona women’s tennis coach Vicky Maes said.

“BYU was a tough team, [and] we knew they were going to be tough, but I felt they played better than even I expected.”

Playing any team is a new experience for Arizona junior transfer Briar Preston, as this is her first year as a Wildcat.

“Especially me being a transfer, I’ve never played these girls before, so I don’t really know what I’m going to get, and I prefer not to see beforehand,” Preston said.

“I just like to go out and do my thing and play.”

Preston said she noticed she needs to work on her serves and become more consistent.

“I personally need to work on my serves,” she said. “It comes in and out, and it’s really frustrating.

So, it’s just something I need to work on.”

Maes said she knew BYU was going to be a tough team to play and enjoyed seeing her team fight as hard as it could to get such a big win.

“I told the girls before singles started that they were going to

be battling it out — and they did, and we gave it right back to them,” Maes said. “I think this was a really, really good win for us.”

The Arizona men’s tennis winning streak came to an end this weekend, as the Wildcats were defeated by No. 70 Nevada, 5-2. The men struggled from the start as they lost two doubles matches.

Arizona junior Jason Jaruvang went into three sets but ended up falling to Fernando Sunago.

“On my return game, I wasn’t

The Beavers shot 48 percent for the game, including seven 3-pointers from guard Sydney Wiese, who scored a game-high 20 points.

The Wildcats once again took care of the ball by committing only eight turnovers while forcing 15 from Oregon State. Warthen led the team with three steals.

After getting off to a quick start on Friday, Arizona fell behind and never recovered in a 75-61 loss to Oregon.

Jones came off the bench to lead the UA in scoring with 14 points, while Arizona guard Keyahndra Cannon added 12 points. Gloyd was the leading rebounder with seven boards and also added eight points of her own.

The Wildcats aggressively attacked the paint in the early going and led 1911 with under 12 minutes to go in the first half. However, Oregon ended the half on a 23-8 run to go up by seven points at the break.

The Ducks quickly grabbed control of the game in the second half as the lead expanded to 20 points with 15 minutes to go. Arizona made a late run to cut

and Loyola Chicago 6-2. Arizona head coach Mike Candrea’s squad came up big in several scenarios, including Arizona catcher Chelsea Goodacre’s three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Arizona stole five bases in the Loyola Chicago game alone and 16 bases over the six weekend games.

Arizona is a perfect 20-20 on stolen base attempts this season after finishing last season 24-28.

Candrea said the team’s depth has contributed to the high number of stolen bases.

“If you take [Chelsea] Suitos and [Mandie] Perez and Eva [Watson] and [Alexis] Dotson and Ashleigh Hughes,

mentally confident in my shot, so I just kept backing off of it,” Jaruvang said.

Jaruvang fought and did what he could against Nevada but said, mentally, he could have been better.

“Practice is fine; my strokes are good and everything,” Jaruvang said. “It’s just on me at this point.

My whole mental game needs to get back on it.”

Arizona men’s tennis coach Tad Berkowitz said he liked what he saw and knows never to doubt his

into the deficit, but the hole was far too deep to dig out of.

Oregon forward Jillian Alleyne led her team with a dominant 19 point and 17 rebound double-double.

Alleyne’s efforts on the glass were a main reason why the Wildcats got outrebounded 41-34.

The Ducks also shot the ball with precision, making 49 percent of their attempts, including 10 3-pointers.

Arizona, meanwhile, was held to 2-9 from the outside and shot 38 percent overall.

Warthen has usually been the Wildcats’ top scoring threat this season but was held to a 2-13 outing. Warthen, however, did have a team-high four assists.

If there was a positive for Arizona in the loss, it was the turnover battle.

The Wildcats committed a seasonlow seven miscues, while Oregon was forced into 14 turnovers.

they all came in and did a pretty damn good job,” Candrea said. “We have a lot more depth than we’ve ever had, [and] that depth is speed.”

The Wildcats put up 10 runs against Loyola Marymount on Friday before piling on 22 runs against Wright State in the double-header. Four Arizona players hit home runs, and three Wildcats had four or more RBIs in the Wright State game, with Goodacre leading the team with five RBIs. In fact, Loyola Chicago was the only team to put up more than one run against Arizona over the weekend.

Looking forward, Arizona is off until Thursday when the team hits the road for the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs, Calif.

team’s effort.

“The thing with these guys, I never doubt [or] fault their effort,” Berkowitz said. “They always give 100 percent. We’ve been doing a great job kind of earning the victories and taking it to guys, and [Saturday,] we just got a little bit passive early on, and Nevada took advantage of it. But … I’ll never fault their effort and attitude.”

MEN’S HOOPS FROM PAGE 6

After falling at Oregon State, they won six in a row, and, after the Sun Devils, they laid waste to Washington’s Pac-12 teams.

Arizona obviously has the talent and drive to be 25-0 right now, but the Wildcats have a nasty habit of overlooking opponents, playing down to their level and losing focus.

With how they played in the second half, Miller can push the Wildcats and realistically find faults with a 27-point win on the road.

In the first half, Arizona raced out to a 53-19 lead, but in the second, the Cougars resembled a Pac-12 men’s basketball team. After shooting 26.7 percent in the first half, Wazzu shot 63.6 percent in the second frame.

In the first, WSU shot 9.1 percent from three and improved that to 66.7 in the second half. Washington State forward DaVonté Lacy scored one point in the first and 17 in the second, and guard Dexter Kernich-Drew scored three in the initial period and 17 in the second.

UA played about the same on offense in each half, shooting 59.5 percent in the first and 53.8 percent in the second — but as the old saying goes, “Defense wins championships.”

The Wildcats had a good day at the office when it came to offense, as three Wildcats scored 17 points each, and six Wildcats were above seven points.

Getting enough sleep each night improves ability to manage stress, boosts the immune system, sharpens concentration and memory for studying, and enhances overall physical and emotional health.

Arizona used to be called the “Valentine State” since statehood was granted on Feb. 14, 1912.

Q

I heard that syphilis is a problem again. Is that true?

A. For a small number of people, it could be a big problem, with dangerous complications.

The Pima County Health Department has seen a surge in cases the past 3 years. Of the recent syphilis cases, 90% are in males who report having sex with a male partner (MSM). It appears that technology may be facilitating the recent increase, since in 63% of MSM cases of syphilis, patients report that they used a mobile dating app to find a partner.

What does it look like? Lesions (usually on the genitals) are the first stage of syphilis infection and typically appear 10-90 days after exposure. Syphilis sores usually appear as single, painless ulcers in the mouth, genitals or anus. Sometimes the lesions may appear in groups or, they may not be visible at all, which is why regular testing for sexually transmitted infections is a good idea for some people at higher risk of exposure.

Even without treatment, the sore may heal and disappear. However, the syphilis bacteria

can still circulate throughout the body and lead to a rash on the torso or in unusual places like the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. There may also be fever and body aches as well as swollen lymph nodes during the second stage of infection.

Is there a test for syphilis? There is a very specific blood test that can confirm if syphilis is in the body.

How is it treated? Because it is a bacterium, syphilis can be quickly cured with antibiotics when detected in the early stages. If left untreated, it can spread to organs throughout the body and cause serious and irreversible damage. Fortunately, most people seek treatment before then.

How can I avoid getting it? Several ways.

Don’t have unprotected sex. Period. Get tested with any potential partner(s). If you have a penis, put a condom on it when you have sex, especially if it’s with a male partner.

Where can I learn more? Call the Pima County Health Department at (520) 724-7676 or visit www.cdc.gov

Learning to shimmy, shake

Everything’s coming up Swift

Despite going home empty-handed at the Grammy Awards last weekend with “Shake It Off,” her only nominated song, Taylor Swift has continued building on the success of her latest album, 1989. The album has spent 11 weeks at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, tying her previous record with her second album, Fearless.

Style, the most recent single off 1989, has recently made its way onto the radio, and the music video for the song was released on Friday. What the music video lacks in story makes up for a dreamy aesthetic that can only be called stylized. The video features Swift and actor Dominic Sherwood, who joins the legion of attractive men starring alongside the singer in her music videos.

Barack and BuzzFeed go viral

BuzzFeed has a video for everything, from guys trying on women’s lingerie to blindfolded taste tests featuring name-brand and generic cereal. One of the website’s latest videos, “Things Everybody Does But Doesn’t Talk About,” features none other than the POTUS himself. President Barack Obama unleashes his humorous side in the video that features him making faces and checking himself out in the mirror, using a selfie stick and doodling a picture of his “crush,” First Lady Michelle Obama. The video was used to promote the fact that Sunday was the last day to enroll in government health care, but regardless of your political stance on the Affordable Care Act, the video is worth watching just to see Obama say the classic, “Thanks Obama,” as he attempts to dunk a chocolate chip cookie into a glass of milk that is just too small.

Fifty shades of green

For a film based on a book that was originally written as “Twilight” fan fiction, it’s no surprise that the “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie was an equally impressive box office success. The movie grossed $45 million in presales on Fandango, making it the fourth-highest ranked pre-sale for the site. The film then earned $30 million during its opening on Friday, beating out the previous record-holder for largest opening in February held by “The Passion of the Christ,” which earned $26.6 million in 2004.

The studio estimates the film made $81.7 million between Friday and Sunday, easily making “Fifty Shades of Grey” the largest Valentine’s Day weekend opening of all time. The film also had a large presence internationally, earning an estimated $158 million overseas and making it the largest international opening for an R-rated movie.

“Saturday Night Live” turns 40

In honor of the show’s 40th anniversary, “Saturday Night Live” aired a special show on Sunday that not only paid homage to the show’s greatest moments but was a throwback to the pop culture phenomena over the past four decades.

Many famous “SNL” alumni made an appearance, including Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy. Many bromances and gal pals reunited, with Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler attending the red carpet in pairs. And if you missed Sarah Palin in politics, good news: The former governor of Alaska was also at the “SNL” special.

COOPER TEMPLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

A BURLESQUE CLASS, led by Fanny Galore, practices in front of the mirror at Animas Center dance studio on Feb. 10. Galore has been performing burlesque since 2008 and teaching since 2009.

The studio describes burlesque as an opportunity to “get in shape and have fun while expressing your inner thoughts and feelings.”

Animas Center dance studio and instructor Fanny Galore make learning burlesque a possibility for people of all ages looking for a different kind of fitness MADISON SCAVARDA The Daily Wildcat

Get ready to put on those fishnets and heels and strut to the Animas Center in the River Center Plaza to take a confidenceboosting burlesque dance class.

On Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m., people of various ages can take the class focused on gaining self-esteem and being comfortable in their own bodies.

“This is a class that you really just do for your heart, for your soul,” said Becca Franks, owner of the Animas Center. “It’s just about having fun and getting more confidence.”

Fanny Galore, the burlesque instructor at the Animas Center, defined burlesque as “the art of the tease.” She emphasized the interpretative aspect of burlesque and encourages her students to stylize the movements as they please.

“Generally, for a burlesque dance class like this, it will be a lot of bumps, grinds, shimmies and shakes,” Galore said. “In terms of stage performance, it will be

the art of the tease. There will be some sort of clothing removal.

There are no rules of how much, what kind [or] if you have to actually show skin.”

Seeing a lack of formal instruction in the burlesque style, Galore, who has been a dance teacher in different styles for 17 years, decided to make the art form more accessible to people who wanted to learn. Galore received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance performance from Arizona State University and has taught this dance style for the last year.

Galore said that while some who take the class are shy and initially feel out of their comfort zone, they end up having fun and really loving the style.

“There are always the uncomfortable giggles,” Galore said. “Some people are just very shy. For the most part, people seem to really like it. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.”

One of Galore’s favorite techniques to help people feel more relaxed is to make them laugh.

“It definitely can be

uncomfortable,” Galore said. “So, if I get them laughing first, then they loosen up a little bit.”

She also doesn’t want her students to get caught up in the technicality of the steps or the choreography.

“For the most part, burlesque is a solo art form,” Galore said. “So, if your steps don’t look exactly like my steps, it’s OK. [It’s] really important for my students to understand that whatever they are doing is valid and good.”

Galore’s burlesque class is one of the many classes offered at the Animas Center. Beside burlesque, Animas provides postural and barre fitness classes, stretching and dance classes, yoga, pilates and many others — all of which are designed to help open up the body and relieve pain. Since its inception in April 2011, the Animas Center has provided clients with classes that are designed to make one’s body feel its best.

From warming up the hips and shoulders with shakes and shimmies to seductive choreography at the end, Galore’s burlesque class pushes many to

break out of their shells and adopt new, more empowered personas.

“I feel that the class was a fun, unique and liberating experience that I would recommend to women of every age,” said Brianna Bartos, a sophomore studying English and creative writing. “I enjoyed the variation of the steps, the encouraging teacher and the smooth music.”

After being a dancer and suffering some injuries in the art, Franks, owner of the Animas Center, turned to pilates for healing. Since then, she has developed an appreciation for pilates, and said that it felt natural for her to open up a studio that combined both of her passions. “[Burlesque] is such a positive class,” Franks said. “‘Animas’ itself means … your soul or spirit — what you’re passionate about. I wouldn’t say that I’m passionate about stripping, but I do think that it is a great thing to feel good about yourself.”

‘Girl on the Train’ nearly ‘Gone Girl’

BY MIA MORAN

The Daily Wildcat

It’s hard to compete in the thriller genre with “Gone Girl” still lurking on bestsellers lists, but “The Girl on the Train” nearly succeeds in matching Gillian Flynn’s mastery.

Paula Hawkins’ debut thriller tells the story of Rachel, a desolate, depressed alcoholic w h o s e m a i n activity, other than drinking, is riding the 8:04 train from Ashbury to Euston e v e r y morning.

The train ride that she once took to her job in London has become a morning ritual, and she takes solace in observing the people who reside in the houses across from the tracks.

At the train stop mid-ride, Rachel observes a couple she dubs Jess and Jason, whose brief encounters on their terrace she sees from afar remind her of the perfect marriage — the one she lost after her ex-husband, Tom, left her for his mistress, Anna.

Rachel’s life is the repetition of riding the train, fantasizing over Jess and Jason, pining over Tom and going back to the

bottle. The story is told like a journal entry, with the dates set apart by morning and evening time markers. Her life follows this pattern until she notices Jess with another man, and her solace is once again shattered.

The repetition would seem monotonous if the only point of view was Rachel’s, but, thankfully, Rachel’s sad, self-destructive narrative is broken up by other women in the novel. The other primary narrator is Megan Hipwell, whose story comes after her mysterious disappearance that makes the papers and eventually makes its way to Rachel, who may have some clue regarding what happened to Megan (aka “Jess”).

Her clues come from the discovery of Megan’s affair but also the hazy remnants of a drunken night that left Rachel with several cuts and bruises — and the suspicion that something terrible happened in those several blank hours of her memory.

Those hours coincide with the same time and location of Megan’s disappearance, and the rest of the novel is spent desperately trying to piece together what happened to everyone that night.

Rachel’s constant drinking and unintentional drunk

None of the characters can be trusted

dials to Tom and Scott, Megan’s husband, devolve into an annoying pattern.

Though, it is necessary to moving the story along.

Cathy, Rachel’s roommate, goes from irritated to infuriated watching Rachel’s behavior, and it’s hard not to sympathize with her discontent. But it’s also hard to ignore Rachel’s pain and her need to soothe it away, as the things she has lost are continually thrown back in her face during her own private investigation into Megan’s disappearance.

Like most psychological thrillers, none of the characters can be trusted, even when the reader is inside their head during different dates of the narration. Each of the women who get their oneon-one with readers are emotional wrecks, and the men in their lives only add to their psychoses.

The story becomes a tug of war between believing the women or believing the men, when in reality, the truth is a complex piecing together of all the narratives.
