ASUA launches ‘I Will’ campaign The new initiative works toward ending rape culture and encouraging sexual assault awareness around campus
BY CHASTITY LASKEY
The Daily Wildcat
A new student-led sexual assault campaign “I Will End Rape Culture” launches today. The campaign is a student initiative that hopes to raise awareness about sexual assault and promote consent. The campaign defines rape culture as a term used to describe the normalization of sexual violences in
society, such as victim blaming and slut shaming. “We focused on the fact that anyone can be affected by sexual assault and rape culture. It’s something that’s applicable to all identities and so we included as many voices as possible,” said Tatum Hammond, Associated Students of the University of Arizona administrative vice president and co-director of the campaign. The campaign will kick off with “I
Will Week,” which goes from Feb. 1 to Feb. 5. There will be 12 events for students to attend to learn about the campaign ranging from screenings, workshops, a concert and panel discussions. Campaign co-director and ASUA Sen. Matthew Lubisich said he plans to educate students and encourage them to take an active stance on the issue. Hammond said what makes the campaign unique is that everyone is
invited to be a part of the cause. Lubisich and Hammond, along with a board of directors from across campus, have put this campaign together in hopes of changing the atmosphere on campus. The campaign collaborates with University of Arizona Police Department, the Pride Alliance, FORCE, The Men’s Project and many other organizations on campus.

UA studies teen pregnancy BY AVA GARCIA
The Daily Wildcat
Two UA sociology professors recently published a study about the effects of teenage pregnancy on young women’s education attainment and earnings. For the study, the professors used data from the Child and Young Adult Cohorts of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. They looked at the information of women who became pregnant under the age of 18, according to Christina Diaz, assistant professor of sociology and the primary author of the study. The data observed included types of schools the women went to, information about their mothers, behavior problems, academic skills, family structure and parental education. The motivation for the study came from a debate among sociologists about three differing views on the effects of teenage pregnancy, according to Diaz. One view is that a pregnant teenager will have a more difficult time earning as much money as she could if she had not become pregnant until later in life. Another view argues that those women who do get pregnant as teenagers tend to be more disadvantaged and wouldn’t be likely to earn as much money, even without their pregnancy. The third view says pregnancy can be a positive thing for some women, because it “makes them get their stuff together,” according

president of public affairs for Planned Parenthood Arizona. “Less affluent people would experience pregnancy at a higher rate, especially because the most effective methods of birth control are the most expensive,” she said. Once pregnant, young women’s education attainment possibilities can change. “Teen pregnancy is a life interrupter. It derails people from finishing high school. It can mean poverty for a young woman and her child. It diminishes her prospects,” Liggett said. “At that same time, these are folks who need to be supported. Once there’s a pregnancy there, these young women need to be supported in whatever choice they make.” The amount of support a young, pregnant woman has can have an effect on how much the pregnancy itself affects the young

Hammond said it’s the entire campus getting involved with the support of the faculty. With diversity, each group brings different perspectives, but they have made every decision together. Krista Millay, director of the UA’s Women’s Resource Center and assistant dean of students, said she’s proud of all the students’ hard work. “This is a really important issue that needs attention, because we need to get a handle of this on our campuses so that our students can feel safe, can have healthy productive lives, great relationships and a successful college career,” Millay said. From the very beginning, the main issue has always been rape culture and the promotion of awareness of the issue. “At the end of the day, we need to change the atmosphere before we can change the problems that are resulting from the atmosphere,” Hammond said. This campaign is a response to a survey conducted by the American Association of Universities, which highlighted areas the UA could improve on in terms of sexual assault education. The survey showed that 20 percent of women and 23 percent of persons identifying as other then heterosexual report being the survivor of an attempted or completed sexual assault during college. While there are so many different resources available on campus, many people remain
unaware of them, which is why the week is starting off with a resource fair on the UA Mall. In the past, the UA has had different sexual assault campaigns, one example being “It’s On Us.” This new campaign takes a different approach. “I think new programs are important because they get people’s attention and reengage them with the topic,” Millay said. Madison Steinke, FORCE intern and a sophomore majoring in philosophy, politics, economics and law and gender and women’s studies, has sat in on the campaign’s board of directors meetings. Steinke said this is a necessary discussion that has yet to take place. She says many people talk about sexual assault statistics without addressing what contributes or leads to them. “We’re trying to have more of a lasting impression on campus. This conversation starts, but doesn’t end, with this campaign,” Steinke said. Lubisich said that by signing the “I Will” pledge, students will be recognizing rape culture as an issue. “We hope to have events after this week, in the spring and the fall, to hold people accountable and give them the resources to become more informed,” Hammond said. “We’re hoping that students continue to educate themselves and the people around them and their community.” For more information, visit iwillcampaign. wix.com/iwill.

C Stats say Arizona driving ain’t great BY Emily Homa
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona was recently ranked No. 6 in worst drivers and third in most careless drivers in the nation by insurance company website Car Insurance Comparison. The rankings were made using statistics on fatal car crashes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2015, according to an article by Fox News Sports. The categories were split based on drunken driving, careless driving, speeding, failure to obey the law and fatalities statistics. Each state was ranked with points in each category, one point being the worst and 51 being the best. The points given to each state were added up resulting in the final rankings. In response to the ranking, several UA students were asked what their opinions about the study and their personal experiences with drivers in Arizona were.

Tech Launch reflects on successful year BY Chastity Laskey The Daily Wildcat
Tech Launch Arizona is looking forward to a bright future after winning Innovator of the Year. Established in 2012, Tech Launch Arizona is a unit within the UA that works to commercialize inventions created during university research. “We had an outstanding year and we look forward to continued success,” said David Allen, vice president of Tech Launch Arizona. He said the organization is about helping, working and engaging with faculty and researchers about the commercial application of their work and encourages faculty to give the organization a call. Tech Launch Arizona has managed to raise their numbers each year, and is hoping for continued growth in years to come. “I think there’s considerable head room within the UA community and we’re setting our goals to increase by roughly 10 percent in every category,” Allen said. “If you do a 10 percent
increase over a few years you’ll have some major changes.” They measure their success by looking at the process and breaking it down into individual components. The organization then measures the activity throughout every step of the way, according to Allen. According to Tech Launch Arizona’s 2014 annual report, the organization received 188 invention disclosures, executed 39 licenses and options and registered 11 new companies by the end of the fiscal year. During the fiscal year 2015, those numbers grew to 213 invention disclosures, 45 licenses and options, and 12 startup companies. “I think we’re on a good trajectory for continued growth, but it’s not easy to continue a growth pattern, sometimes you hit a plateau,” Allen said. “We want to make sure although that might happen, we can recognize it and see what kind of changes are necessary to break through that.” He said it takes a number of factors for emerging technology from the university to
make it in the marketplace. “To be successful, usually there’s a team of people that has you come together that can really be as one and act as one,” Allen said. Paul Tumarkin, marketing and communications manager who has been with Tech Launch Arizona since its beginning, said he’s excited about the success and being able to contribute to it. “I think David Allen’s leadership has really been the key element, because he’s had a very clear vision for Tech Launch Arizona and has been very effective in building a very talented team of individuals to execute that vision,” Tumarkin said. Allen said the success of their operation is due to many different factors. “President Ann Weaver Hart’s administration and whole team is very supportive of technology commercialization and we have been woven into the Strategic Academic and Business plan Never Settle,” Allen said. People are stepping up, moving in and supporting them in ways they haven’t in the
past. “I think we have a good base of resources and financial resources to do what were doing, and I think we have an outstanding team,” Allen said. “If you put all these things together, you have a very positive environment, with people who want to see something happen. There’s great ideas to work with and a community that wants to pitch in. It’s hard to ask for more.” According to the annual report, $4.7 million in revenue was brought in royalties, patent reimbursements for intellectual property and a one-time settlement payment. This represents a 45 percent increase over last year’s amount of $1.6 million. “In the longest term, something that many people are interested in is how much money we create for the [UA},” Allen said. UA Tech Park also has a $3.12 billion impact on Arizona’s economy, according to the report. “What we do is continuously evolving, this is not a one-size-fits-all kind of service operation,” Allen said. “Technology doesn’t stand still.

If a woman becomes pregnant as a teenager, how will that affect her education?
“I think young women who become pregnant in university are much further deterred from finishing their education because they have this decision to make and they have moral obligations.” —Megan Tsong, public health freshman
“I think that when a girl gets pregnant as a teenager, she might get discouraged to go on in school because I think that’s the norm that girls just drop out and give up. But it’s doable and if you try you can get through it.” —Maddison Donnelly, prebusiness freshman
“I think it definitely will deter their education. It’s possible, but it’s definitely tough to find that balance. Now you have this responsibility of a child and pursuing your education. It’s definitely possible but I think it’s really difficult.” —William Brinckerhoff, sophomore studying English
“If she goes through with the baby and wants to take care of it, it will be hard with the education because she’ll have to take care of it unless she has a parent that can help her out. But if she’s alone, I don’t know if she can juggle two things at the same time.” —Michael Sleutz, finance freshman
“It will create a lot of roadblocks for her. It will be harder for her to focus and to stay motivated on school because she has all of these other things happening in her life.” —Veronica Nogueda, criminal justice freshman
“She probably would have to either drop out or [complete] less education than she would have before.” —Dax Jorgenson, prebusiness freshman

f you’re anything like me, you should probably be doing homework right now. You’re currently racking your brain for an excuse to avoid the endless abyss that is studying. Good thing the answer to that question only requires either $8 a month or your roommate’s password. A brand new month is here, so avid binge watchers, get ready to blaze through this month’s collection of new releases. “Better Call Saul” It goes without saying that if you haven’t seen “Breaking Bad,” you need to stop what you’re doing and binge watch all five seasons before you even think about doing anything else, because season one of “Breaking Bad” spinoff “Better Call Saul” just hit Netflix. The series tells the backstory of lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) as he tries to make it as an up-and-coming lawyer before his days in the drug world with Walter White. Odenkirk brings his wit and clever sense of humor to the character, much like he did in “Breaking Bad.” Of course, the series never quite reaches the high that its predecessor did, but it’s absolutely still worth watching. Other noteworthy additions “Charlie’s Angels” will give you a helping of mindless action and fun. “Sin City” will give you plenty of gruesome violence and striking visuals. British spy comedy “Johnny English,” starring Rowan Atkinson as a hilariously incompetent secret agent wasn’t very popular in the U.S., which is why you’ve probably never heard of it, but it’s coming to a screen near you.

COURTESY OF AMCT
A STILL from the trailer for ”Better Call Saul,””an AMC prequel to the show ”Breaking Bad.” The second season premieres at 8 p.m., on Monday, Feb. 15.
intelligently written TV dramas of all time: “Mad Men,” ended after seven seasons and luckily for us, the second half of season seven will be available Feb. 5. The series stars Jon Hamm and takes a look at an advertising agency in 1960s New York, while exploring the personal and professional lives of the employees and their families. This series depicts the time period in such glorious detail that you won’t be able to turn away. It’s absolutely beautiful, so make sure to watch season seven and also binge watch the first six seasons if you haven’t already. You’ll probably have finished all of this by mid- February, but it’s a good thing Netflix keeps them coming. On Feb. 16, you can watch critically acclaimed period drama “Atonement”, starring James McAvoy and Keira Knightley. It’s the story of how one seemingly innocent lie from a child can lead to the destruction of several different lives and it’s beautifully filmed, while also bringing out the
best from the actors involved. Although hard to watch at times, and definitely very sad, it deserves to be in your queue. Netflix has a tendency to find things that you forgot about and revive them, in a sense. This is pretty clear in February with Netflix original film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny,” which will be released Feb. 26. I could be wrong, but I don’t think there have been too many die-hard “Crouching Tiger: Hidden Dragon” fans begging for a sequel since the original was released in 2000. The first one was pretty good though, so this one should also be promising. That same day, you’ve got a brand new series for which fans are holding their breath. Feb. 26 will also give life to Netflix original series “Fuller House,” the sequel to “Full House,” which has been off the air for about 20 years. Therefore, “Fuller House” needs to prove itself with its own comedic merit to be successful. The generational gap is just too big for it to completely rely on the “Full House” name. Most of
the original cast is returning though, so it should be worth a look. Bye-bye favorites As we usher in the new month, we have to say goodbye to some titles as well. You better quickly watch “The Hurt Locker,” “The Terminator,” “Rain Man,” “The Firm” and the entire “Doctor Who” series,before he jumps into the TARDIS and departs—although you’re probably too late to catch up on all of that if you haven’t started yet. See you in March Hopefully this will keep you busy, at least until March. A complete list of everything coming and going in February can be found online. It’s important to unwind every now and then with some binge watching, so keep these titles in mind next time you want to invite your crush over to Netflix and chill.

Spoon University brings new chapter to UA campus, students A new food resource coming to the UA teaches students easy recipes, simple hacks to save money on food and new places to eat on campus BY Casey Aldava The Daily Wildcat
Put Tapingo down for a second and pick up a pan because Spoon University is making a new home at the UA. Find healthy alternatives, late night munchies or the best bagels on campus. Learn how to order at Starbucks without breaking the bank and still feeling satisfied or make a banana loaf with only three ingredients. Read detailed recipes, scroll through mouth-watering snacks, dinners and drinks or watch quick and entertaining video tutorials. You can do all of these things from the convenience of Spoon University. “[Spoon University] is this everyday resource that is created for college students to make food sense,” said nursing sophomore Daniel Mathias, cofounder and assistant community manager of the UA chapter of Spoon University. “Through campus recipes, campus hacks, the best places to eat, just anything of that nature.” While it may not be very old, Spoon University is creating a place for college students to go to learn about food as well as discuss and share original ideas. “I think it’s really just an awesome place for any student to find recipes, but also kind of learn what’s around campus and on campus whether it’s cheap, expensive, happy hour, like any range of things,” said Sydney Cohen, a senior studying information science and esociety. Cohen is the community manager and cofounder along with Mathias. “I mean I’ve already learned so many little hacks and stuff from other campuses that still could apply to the [UA].” Spoon University is targeted towards college students by college students, with over 100 chapters all over the country. “It’s how to get through college with food,” Cohen said. You can join the group or add your own. The national company unites colleges in states hundreds of miles apart online. “There’s that kind of college student vibe,” Mathias said. Cohen emphasized its goal is to “build a community on your school of people who truly enjoy food and talking about food.” The club hopes to have at least one event a month for talking, learning and having fun with food. Some events will be for the entire school to participate in and some will be just for the club members. “It’s food and anyone can talk about food,”

A fresh burger from Spoon University. The everyday food resource is starting a chapter at the UA, which will go live Friday, Feb. 19.
Mathias said. “There’s no degree; if you think that something tastes good, then talk about it.” While there is no event currently planned for next month, the two agree that as the club takes off, more events will be on the agenda. The new chapter at the UA already boasts 25 members of writers, editors, photographers, videographers, social media coordinators and event planners. If one of these positions looks appealing, you can email Cohen at sydneycohen@email.arizona. edu for a UA chapter application. The club is always looking for new members who share an interest in food to join the team. Until then, best dishes and happy spooning.

Can Harvard fix broken admissions process? BY JESSICA SURIANO The Daily Wildcat
T
he college admissions process is as stressful as ever for prospective students, even for the most affluent of the bunch. Recognizing the unintended growth of competition in the admissions process, the Making Caring Common Program of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education released a report named “Turning the Tide.” The report outlines how even the most prestigious universities should consider applicants for personal growth in areas outside of just their academics and meritbased success. The increasing concern over how ominous the college admissions process has become inevitable, mostly for high school seniors. It seems that enrolling in all advanced-placement classes and getting involved in as many extracurricular activities as possible does not give students an edge over others. If anything, that has become the bare minimum. The consequences of how debilitating the pressure of the admissions process has
become is arguably one of the reasons a substantial amount of children have lost the ability to communicate effectively in social settings and have started to suffer from health concerns. In her article in Stanford Medicine, Ruthann Richter wrote that “the pressure on teens to succeed is intense and they must compete with a growing number of peers for college slots that have largely remained constant.” The pressure has become so intense that a recent national poll by the National Sleep Foundation reported that more than 87 percent of U.S. high school students get far less sleep than the recommended amount. This problem, which the American Academy of Pediatrics called “a public health epidemic” in 2014, has been proven to actually worsen students’ grades. Other physical side effects of sleep deprivation include: “an inability to concentrate … drowsy-driving incidents, anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide and even suicide attempts,” according to the same Stanford Medicine article. To abate the emphasis on purely academic overachievement in college admissions, “Turning the Tide” said that “the admissions process should both clearly signal that concern for others and the common good are highly valued in admissions.”
If students lack the social skills and ability to be personable with their peers, teachers and future employers, the scores they receive on their standardized tests are essentially useless. They still will not be hired for the job if someone else can combine a charismatic personality with the same academic achievements. In the most exaggerated cases, our society could arguably be raising some of the most brilliant minds this world has yet seen— minds that may also just happen to resemble unfeeling robots. Some would argue that students who pad their resumes and applications with extracurricular volunteering or community service must be compassionate. A survey conducted by Richard Weissbourd, a senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, demonstrated that empathy for others is not as common in prospective students as their applications may lead admissions boards to believe. Over 10,000 middle and high school students took the survey and when asked whether high individual achievement, happiness or caring for others was most important, 22 percent chose caring for others. Considering this survey indicated that approximately onefifth of all the students surveyed saw more value in benevolence than intellect, Harvard was right
to call for a change in admissions expectations. Competition is healthy. It drives people to work harder to achieve their goals and make a difference in the world. But people have never made a positive impact on the world by only thinking about themselves. Although they are unintentional, the unrealistic expectations of college applications may be encouraging an unhealthy level of egocentrism and selfishness in the people who are supposed to be our next great leaders, inventors, doctors and visionaries. Leaders will not be great unless they act in the best interest of as many people as possible. If more and more schools begin embracing the progressive ideas of Harvard’s “Turning the Tide,” perhaps the quality of extracurricular activities will be encouraged over the quantity of them. Hopefully in the near future, the college admissions process will inspire students to be excited about learning again and remind them what they are passionate about in the first place, rather than depriving them of the ability to showcase their own individuality.

Sanctions on Greek Life backfire BY STEPHANIE SHAW The Daily Wildcat
T
hirteen percent of UA students on campus are involved in Greek Life. While that number may seem low to some, Greek Life’s presence cannot be ignored when actually walking around the UA. The sorority backpacks, the fraternity T-shirts and tank tops : It’s a prospering world of its own.
As a member of UA Greek Life, I know firsthand what a house can provide to an individual. While some—including my former self—roll their eyes at the mention of a “home away from home” and “lifelong friends,” Greek Life really does set students up with optimal resources for achieving college happiness. But what happens when, in search of such college happiness, basic morality and visions of the future become hazy? Pun intended. Fraternities are a beacon of parties and excitement on college campuses. They provide
everything a college girl could ask for: alcohol, boys and something to talk about with friends in the morning. However, hazing and disorderly conduct go unmentioned during those gabsessions over grande lattes. It only takes a few seconds to Google the houses on campus and see what kinds of sanctions they’re currently under and why. These sanctions are penalties greek houses face when they break the rules listed in UA policy and codes of conduct. Though the language in these documents can be vague, most likely to prevent freshman boys’ mothers
from having aneurisms, the message is clear: Their various monetary fines for “hazing” and “alcohol” are listed numerous times. The listings show that there are currently eight UA fraternities that are under “loss of recognition,” meaning that by the technical definition, they are not UA fraternities at all. However, their former members don’t just disappear after the first conduct violation. Instead, off-campus parties and more secretive modes of party-going are employed,

Grow up, gamers! Video game fan base immature BY greg castro
The Daily Wildcat
V
ideo game fans are the most hostile, negative fan community out there. They bully other fans and creators alike, exhibiting a level of entitlement not seen among filmgoers or book readers. The year 2015 saw a wealth of AAA video game releases, many of which received high marks critically but absolute vitriol from the fan base. On Metacritic, “Fallout 4,” for PC has a critics’ score of 84/100 but a users’ score of 5.4/10. “Star Wars Battlefront,” for PC has a critics’ score of 72 and a users’ score of 3.4. “Call of Duty: Black Ops III,” a 73 and 2.7; “Batman: Arkham Knight,” a 70 and 2.1. That level of disconnect between critic score and user score is extremely uncommon on Metacritic’s music and film pages. Yet on the site’s video game section, it’s commonplace. Follow any of these games on Facebook and you’ll find histrionic comments like this one from a recent “Arkham Knight” post: “This sucks. I hope they remaster the old games because they were a lot better than this.” Or this one from the “Rise of the Tomb Raider,” page: “It’s as disappointing as Tomb Raider 2013, a new low in my personal gaming experience.” This goes beyond gamers simply being hard to please. Polygon published an indepth report on the topic in 2013 with revelations that employees from companies as large as Microsoft and Bioware have stepped down from development positions after receiving significant amounts of hate
mail. Large amounts of gamers simply hate the today’s video games and they hate the people making them even more. What are their complaints? Pricing models come up quite often. Most games retail at launch for a price of about $60 with an optional “Season Pass” of additional downloadable content, usually priced between $30 and $50. Season passes are especially controversial, with some fans complaining that they are equivalent to charging the price of another full game using content that should have been included in the initial game release. While this may seem expensive initially, consider that new Sega Genesis or Nintendo 64 games in the 90s could retail for as much as $70—significantly more today with inflation taken into account. Also consider that games offer the greatest dollarto-hour value of any entertainment medium, with the average game offering about 40 hours of playtime. It’s also worth noting that if a $60 game, or $50 season pass, is enough to bankrupt you, perhaps you simply need to accept that your current budget does not allow for video games as a hobby. With the cost complaint then being largely unfounded, the other main criticism of the “angry gamer” is one of performance, or games that are released with glitches and bugs. Occasionally, this criticism is justified, though it hardly merits emailing death threats to a game developer. When “Fallout 4” was announced and its trailer was released in June 2015, plenty of gamers were quite excited, though many others immediately took to online forums
“
to complain that the graphics—which were actually quite beautiful—were lazy and lastgeneration. The reality is that video games have the potential, through a combination of time investment and story immersion, to impact the consumer more so than any other medium. This is especially true for those who play video games when they are young, and those for whom video games serve as foundational, coming-of-age experiences. As these gamers age, they are disappointed to find that new games, especially sequels and remakes of classic games, don’t live up to their memories of the originals. While there are some instances where the new games actually just aren’t that great, there are many more that live up to expectations or even surpass what came before in terms of technical and artistic achievement. But gamers refuse to recognize this because the games still just don’t seem as amazing as they were when the gamers were teenagers. Therein lies the problem: New games can’t possibly hope to match the nostalgia of grown-up gamers. I was never going to enjoy “Fallout 4” as much as “Fallout 3,” because I will never again be a 15-year-old on Christmas Day getting his first-ever “Mature” rated video game. Other gamers would do well to come to similar realizations themselves rather than spewing hate all over the Internet. To put it another way: these gamers could all stand to grow up.
New games can’t possibly hope to match the nostalgia of grown-up gamers.”

creating a rebellious—and oftentimes more appealing—nature to a house under “loss of recognition.” The school’s recognition might have an effect as far as funding and on-campus access goes, but the basics of party life essentially go unscathed. Girls patiently await the month until recognition can be granted and shirts representing the houses are still worn with pride throughout campus. If a house has not quite completely disregarded the rules, however, and only breached a few clauses in the code of conduct, it gets put under a variety of different sanctions. Some of these include the aforementioned monetary fines, while others might include prohibition of holding certain events or more public displays of distancing the university from the house. These houses get the most attention as they are still allowed to host certain functions and keep their charters and houses, usually easily accessible on campus; little can be done to shut them down forever. This gray area created by the sanctions is dangerous. The mysterious, rebellious vibe that is created when a house is kicked off campus is even stronger when the house is under judicial trouble. Parties are still thrown when the sanctions are removed. There is no right or wrong way to discipline, as long as the rules are clear and the judicial board is fair. The system of sanctions hardly seems effective. If real change and real accountability are to exist at UA, houses must either be more severely punished or more properly educated about the severity of their actions. Most importantly, women attending events promoted by these houses should educate themselves about the nature of each individual chapter and consider whether they want to promote the disrespectful and harmful nature of some houses. It’s a serious problem, but it’s on us, as college females, to remain vigilant, educated and aware. — Follow Stephanie Shaw @dailywildcat
Home losses sting for UA fans For Arizona fans, winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. McKale Center faithful didn’t know how to react following their first home loss in years
BY KYLE HANSEN
The Daily Wildcat
T
he clock was winding down in McKale Center, but everything was quiet for the red and blue. Instead, players draped in green and yellow were jumping around in celebration with a small patch of fans celebrating behind their bench. It was 2013 the last time Arizona fans witnessed something like this. Oregon freshman Tyler Dorsey, who was originally committed to Arizona, flexed in celebration. Dillon Brooks was jumping up and down in triumph. The Arizona players somberly lined up to shake their opponents’ hands. For 49 games over almost three years, McKale Center was a haven that saw its tenants amass a nation-leading home win streak. “I just want, on behalf of the team, to apologize to the fans and especially the players and coaches that have come before us,” forward Ryan Anderson said. “All of the guys that put work into this streak. The players that gave us all the beautiful facilities that we have. These last two games, we haven’t lived up to the standard that is held here at Arizona, especially effort-wise and attention to detail.” The streak was not only an incredible feat, but also served as a reminder that losing is a part of sports. “I was devastated, but I mean, I love my team and I’m always going to support them no matter what,” Jordan Ingram said Saturday. Ingram, who graduated from Arizona last year, was dubbed the “King of McKale” for his role as the leader of the UA Pep Band and his work in pumping up the ZonaZoo during home games.
Ingram said he has seen the Wildcats lose even bigger games in person while traveling with the band, most notably two Elite Eight losses to Wisconsin. “When we don’t win, it is a sad thing, but losing is a part of the game,” Ingram said. “We had some pretty bad losses last year and still made it to the Elite Eight. So anything is possible.” Ingram summed up what it feels like to be an Arizona fan: Despite adversity, there is always the belief that things will get better. “The expectation is you always win here,” Arizona fan Rick Browne said. “It seemed like we were out of sync in so many different ways, that it was kind of a painful game to watch. I don’t think they were off track, but rather, I think it was just an off night in a lot of ways.” Rick Browne graduated from Arizona in 1978 and his wife Melody attended Michigan State, another monster program in college basketball. Rick’s family has been season ticket holders for 40 years. Him and Melody both said missing players was also a key factor in the loss to the Ducks. “We didn’t have the matchup with the 6-foot5ers,” Melody said. “There was no [Allonzo] Trier and no [Elliot] Pitts. Those were the guys that would have been able to hang with that size and we didn’t have them.” Prior to the Oregon loss, seniors and grad students were the only students to see Arizona lose at home. Juniors at the UA had enjoyed two full seasons of undefeated home play. The rich basketball program that had been built over many years had raised fan expectations. With players like Steve Kerr, Andre Iguodala and legendary coach Lute Olson coming through Tucson, the traditions of winning and exceptional play have been staples at Arizona. In
short, fans just aren’t used to seeing Arizona lose, especially at home. “There’s a stronger tradition, sure,” Rick Browne said. “You get people that want to come here because of McKale [Center]. The arena is always full.” Melody Browne recalled a time last season when an opponent’s parent applauded the toughness of McKale Center. “We met a parent last year from Utah and she was one of the player’s moms and she said, ‘I love to come here. No other place in the Pac-12 [Conference] is like this place,’” Melody said. According to Jorge Barrera, who has been coming to Arizona games for 10 years, the Wildcats have a unique case here in Tucson. “Like I tell the players, living in Phoenix you have your Suns and all these professional teams and all we have here in Tucson is the Wildcats,” Barrera said. “This is the only thing we live off of. It’s hard for us to see a loss because we’re not used to losing as much.” And while losing is to be expected at all levels of sports, it’s tough to expect a program that won 49 games straight to drop one in front of the McKale faithful. “He’s a Lombardi guy,” Melody Browne said of her husband, laughing. “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” “Ultimately, it’s just a game,” Rick Browne said. “We’re blessed to see a lot more wins here than losses. We went through some pretty sad years of football, and the rally cry was well, at least there’s basketball.” There will always be Arizona basketball.

MY OWN EXPERIENCE BY KYLE HANSEN
The Daily Wildcat
TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE OOH AHH Man stands and expresses his anguish during the game against Oregon in McKale Center on Thursday, Jan. 28. Fans saw their home team lose in McKale Center on Thursday for the first time in almost three seasons.
I currently stand as a senior at the UA, but this is only my third year here at this school. I didn’t know much about Arizona basketball until my junior year of high school when I first watched Derrick Williams. His performance against Duke in the Sweet Sixteen reigns as my earliest memory of Arizona basketball. This is my first year covering Arizona as a reporter. Two years ago, I was a fan in the ZonaZoo,
and last year, I covered them as a photographer. I traveled to Las Vegas and watched them win the Pac-12 Conference Tournament and, like many others here, had not seen them lose in person for the longest time. My first in-person experience of seeing them lose happened this season, on the SoCal trip. Seeing them lose in general is weird, but something about seeing it in person was even stranger. The players and coaches react differently to a loss and because the losses are so infrequent, it’s something fans and the media don’t see too often. It’s an odd experience seeing them lose one in person, especially in McKale Center.

ONE NATION, UNDER SQUAD
Arizona cheer and mascots inspire the community to always bear down
BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
F
rom 6 a.m. workouts to 11-hour football game days, the UA Cheerleaders and Mascots program takes its dedication to a whole other level. While many spend their college careers overwhelmed by academic work and involvement, these Wildcats have courtside seats to every basketball game and are on the football field to inspire their teams to bear down. “It was just something totally new,” Arizona junior cheerleader Brett Hill said. “There’s nothing natural about putting a girl above your head and holding her there with one arm and her flipping and spinning above your head. It was just a whole new sport and world to learn.” From the desperation catch against California in football to the overtime game against Gonzaga in McKale Center, Arizona’s cheerleading has been there through it all and has managed to give back to the Tucson community along the way. “I do it because I’m never going to get to do this again,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember this for the rest of my life and that’s motivation enough to do it for your teammates and to do it for the experience and the adventure.” The team was looking to make
more of an impact in the direction walk. During his high school graduation, he was able to walk of helping the community. “Being able to see the impact without his wheel chair to receive we are having on the community his diploma.

She said the smiles at Wilbur were the biggest she had seen in a very long time. “They couldn’t stop thanking us, and I don’t think people should be thanking us,” Nguyen said. “That’s what we are there to do; we are there to put pride into people, even when they are at their lowest. That’s probably the best thing ever.” It’s an understatement that this team has become a family. “As any team is, we are a family [and] we have ups and downs,” Hill said. “At the end of the day, we support each other, we talk about it, we hang out, we laugh. You tell yourself that we only have four years to do this really incredible journey—that’s your motivation. My best friends are on the team and they are my family.” Nguyen echoed Hill’s point about being a family, highlighting one of the team’s mottos: “One nation, under squad.” “Anywhere we perform, there … are so many eyes on us,” Nguyen said. “We do it and we get through it because we do it together. Honestly, without my team, I wouldn’t even know what to do. It’s exactly like a second family.”

Continue honoring Sean Miller’s process BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
A
rizona head coach Sean Miller has always preached, “honor the process” and has always made defense a priority; but it might be time for the Wildcats to prove they still have an identity. No team in the nation could compare to the home court advantage Arizona displayed since its last home loss almost three full seasons ago. “We know we are going to get everybody’s best when they play us,” forward Ryan Anderson said. “It’s a sign of respect. It’s their Super Bowl.” The Wichita State Shockers took over the title with 42 straight home wins and the Kansas Jayhawks moved to second with 37. Think about what a crazy ride Arizona’s 49 straight wins were. Every team in the Pac12 Conference feared the beast that McKale Center had become. “This is the program that has set the standard in the Pac-12,” Oregon head coach Dana Altman said. “It’s not even debatable.” But there are a few things to consider, and a few things to gain, as the Wildcats began a new streak with a win over Oregon State on Saturday. For the first time in a while, Arizona fans had abandoned their team and left McKale Center before the final buzzer. To the fans that united in the game’s final seconds to chant “U-of-A, U-of-A,” I applaud you. It’s not easy to see your team lose at home for the first time in three years and the crowd that saw the Wildcats blow past the Beavers in the second half Saturday know that home losses won’t become commonplace. Many have antagonized Miller over his treatment of center Kaleb Tarczewski after he pulled him in Thursday’s loss. “I don’t care what it’s perceived like,” Miller said. “I have a great relationship with Kaleb and he has a great relationship with me. I’m myself, I’m a coach. I’m going to push our team to be the best we can be. I’m going to push each of our players to be the best they can be. I’m going to love them.

Oregon schools sweep UA women on road Arizona women’s basketball will take on both UCLA and USC, following losses on road BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
Swept by Oregon schools It was a weekend to forget for the Arizona women’s basketball team. The Wildcats lost to both Oregon State and Oregon Friday and Sunday, respectively. Neither game was particularly close either, as Arizona lost by a combined 50 points. Despite the pair of one-sided losses, Malena Washington was a bright spot for the team. She had eight points, four rebounds and two assists against Oregon State and followed that up with a career-high 23-point performance against Oregon. The Wildcats have now lost four games in a row and seven of their last eight. Their record now stands at 11-11 overall and 2-8 in Pac-12 Conference play. 3-point discrepancy The 3-pointers were flying early and often against the Wildcats this past week. Oregon State hit nine of its 18 3-point attempts, seven of which were made in the first half. Oregon made nine 3-pointers against Arizona as well. Meanwhile, Arizona’s perimeter shooting has been non-existent. Against the Oregon schools, the Wildcats made just seven 3-pointers. Being outscored from 3-point land has been a reoccurring theme this season. In 10 Pac-12 games, the Wildcats have made just 26 3-pointers. Yet they’ve allowed 62 in that same time frame.
L.A. schools come to town The Wildcats will look to break out of their losing ways this week when they host the Los Angeles schools this weekend. First up on the schedule are the USC Trojans. With the Wildcats’ tallest rotation player, A’Shanti Coleman, standing at 6-foot2, it could prove to be difficult for Arizona to slow down USC’s leading scorer and leading rebounder, Temi Fagbenle, who stands at 6-foot-4. The Wildcats have lost seven in a row against the Trojans. That game will tip off Friday at 8 p.m. in McKale Center. The No. 15 UCLA Bruins will then make their way to McKale Center on Sunday. The Bruins boast the conference’s best offense, averaging 77.8 points per game. They feature the dynamic backcourt duo of Jordin Canada and Nirra Fields. Both are averaging over 16 points per game this season. UCLA is also the conference’s best rebounding team, as they average 45.2 rebounds per game. The Wildcats are 8-3 at home this season, but the Bruins have beaten them in five straight games. Tipoff is at 1 p.m.

Gay Palestinians have been caught in the middle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They have been attacked by militant groups and sometimes tortured by the Palestinian Authority. The easiest place for them to flee is often Israel, where they are refused the right to have their cases heard because of their nationality.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships By some accounts, the vibrator was the fifth domestic appliance to be electrified, after the sewing machine, fan, tea kettle, and toaster.
What is the average # of students that have sex @ UA? OK, so it’s no secret that college students are having sex – but the numbers on who is doing what (and with whom) at the UA may surprise you. How do we know? Students like you told us – anonymously, of course! Each spring semester, the UA Campus Health Service conducts the annual Health & Wellness Survey, which is administered to a random selection of undergraduate classes at the UA. Here are some of the results from the 2015 survey, which had 2,705 student respondents: Among all UA undergrads, 71% reported having vaginal or anal intercourse within the past school year – meaning 29% did not have intercourse in that timeframe. Of those who had sex, most (59%) reported having just one partner in the last school year, 16% had two partners, 17% had 3-5, and 9% had 6 or more partners. What about the types of sex that students have ever had? According to the survey, 74% of UA students have had oral sex, 70% have had vaginal intercourse and 23%
reported having anal intercourse. As you would expect, these numbers are lower for freshmen than they are for seniors. To sum things up, even though 7 out of 10 UA students are “doing it,” about 3 out of 10 aren’t. So chances are, no matter what your choices are in regard to your sexual activity, you are in good company here at the UA. Interestingly, many of the sexual health numbers listed above have been very consistent from one year to the next. But there is one key statistic that has changed over the years: condom use. In 2015, 68% of students reported usually or always using a condom – an increase of 19% over the past 10 years. Speaking of condoms, have you heard about Free Condom Friday yet? Yes, a free sample pack of condoms could be yours, each Friday from 12-2pm during the semester. Stop by the Health Promotion office (3rd floor, NE corner of UA Campus Health/ Highland Commons Building) to pick one up!
