Budget cut rumors arise Arizona Sen. Steve Farley and Rep. Stefanie Mach weigh in on effects and solutions of proposed budget cuts at local Town Hall meeting

BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

UA graduate students met with Sen. Steve Farley and Rep. Stefanie Mach from District 10 in a Town Hall meeting to voice opinions regarding proposed budget cuts, which are rumored to be more than originally proposed.

Lindsey Fera, a postundergraduate student and administrative associate in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, said she is fearful of how

the budget cuts will impact the department and of potential effects on future generations of students.

“I think that college students have a voice, but I don’t think it is as loud as it could be,” Fera said, “and they are definitely not heard as often as they should be or need to be.”

Farley said the problem stems from incredibly low voter turnout by those who aren’t concerned about college students’ futures.

They are looking at what lobbyists tell them about certain bills and

come up with a vision to destroy the government and have individuals take control of their own futures.

“The people who are voting are conservative, incredibly not diverse and old and they are voting for these kinds of legislators,” Farley said. “Since 1990, we have cut more than $4 billion a year in tax cuts from our general fund, and we would have more to spend this year if we haven’t done these tax cuts. We do have the money, and we have always had the money.”

Jasmine Sears is the assembly

chair for the Graduate and Professional Student Council and a graduate optics student.

“I know that college students don’t vote and that we get ignored to some extent when we do talk because we don’t vote,” Sears said.

“I don’t think it is so much that we don’t have a voice as it is that we don’t use it effectively, and we are not using it in a way that convinces people they ought to listen to us.”

Mach said the UA is the state’s largest employer and has more

Charges were dropped against members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, also known as FIJI, stemming from an investigation of Michael Anderson’s death. A freshman and FIJI member, Anderson died last April after falling from the top of Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall.

According to Rebecca Mueller, supervisor of the misdemeanor-unit at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, charges of providing false information to law enforcement officers brought against five members have been dropped by Pima County on Feb. 18.

Mueller added that upon

successful completion of a diversion program, an individual’s charges will then be dropped, which each of those former members successfully finished.

Spencer Shugrue, former FIJI president of the now unrecognized chapter, also had his charges dropped “without prejudice,” pending an ongoing investigation, Mueller said.

Shugrue was charged with being of legal drinking age, occupying the premises and knowingly allowing two or more underage individuals to consume alcohol, also known as statute 4-241, Mueller added.

Student engagement rising

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

UA administrators presented a progress report to the Arizona Board of Regents earlier this month that illustrated how UA student engagement has grown and continues to be a main focus of the university.

Never Settle, the UA’s strategic plan for student engagement, originated after administrators and faculty determined what qualities the UA already had and could further enhance to give students a world-class education and experience, said Andrew Comrie, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.

“The plan is what makes us truly distinctive,” Comrie said.

A presentation to the board of regents outlined a graphic illustrating how in traditional teaching classrooms, students were listening to lecture for 69 percent of their time in class and only answering questions for 14 percent.

style, student listening decreased to 34 percent, leaving 16 percent for answering questions but adding 11 percent of class time to allow students to engage with one another through a group activity.

economic output than they bring in from the state. However, community colleges are only cut by 50 percent, and universities are cut $75 million, Mach added.

All of the university presidents have heard rumors about the budget being cut down even further because of other budget issues, such as the $330 million that is supposed to be going into K-12 education.

“The state of Arizona budget is about $30 billion in total, and most of it is federal money, and on the state side, it is about $9 billon, two of which is the amount we can move with, because we can’t leave jails without locks and there are certain mandates that we need to fulfill,” Mach said.

“Of the budget items that are easiest to take from, higher education is one of them.”

In Arizona, the recovery is lagging from the rest of the nation, even though the tax cuts put into place were supposed to help create jobs.

Farley suggested students should build coalitions of people being “screwed over by these cuts over the last few years” who can appeal to older voters to make changes in funding higher education.

Isoken Adodo, president’s chief of staff for GPSC and a school psychology graduate student, is frustrated that education on any level is considered a discretionary fund, allowing for manipulated numbers that indicate funding issues are with K-12 and higher education.

“College students have a voice, but right now, it is at a whisper, and we need to get it

possible consequences. Mueller said Pima County can re-file charges against him within one year of the original charge, giving it about six months to re-file against Shugrue, who was originally charged in July 2014.

Parker Bellinger, former FIJI vice president, was charged under the same circumstances as Shugrue’s original charge. The trial is still proceeding; Bellinger’s next court appearance will take place later this week.

The charges stem from an investigation by the University of Arizona Police Department after Anderson’s death.

Anderson fell to his death after attempting to climb a 20-foot ventilation structure on top of Colonia de la Paz. An autopsy report indicated alcohol and marijuana were in his system at the time of his death.

During UAPD’s investigation, an email was found that told FIJI members to lie to law enforcement about any alcohol-related activities going on at the house the night of Anderson’s death.

The investigation and charges against members ultimately led to the loss of recognition for the chapter at the UA. The former fraternity house was turned into a student housing lodge called Rawls/ Eller Lodge in fall 2014.

research.”

Kotay said the ONCS wants the UA community to be aware of the opportunities available through the Fulbright Scholar Program.

The ONCS monitors the application process for the U.S. Student Programs at the UA, Kotay said.

“The campus deadline will be next fall,” she added. “However, if students are interested in applying, they should get started this semester working on their applications.”

Last year, the UA’s Fulbright program received 45 applications with 10 awardees; only nine accepted the award and are currently abroad, Kotay said.

She added that UA students tend to gravitate to countries in Latin America, but western Europe is one of the most popular and competitive places to go to.

James Worthington, a geology graduate student, was one of the students awarded with a Fulbright fellowship this year. Worthington is currently in Freiburg, Germany, working with a research group that he’s been collaborating with for the past few years.

“I’m working in a lab conducting radiometric dating … of rock samples that I collected in the field to constrain the timing and rates of tectonic processes that formed the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan,”

to a roar,” Adodo said. “Graduate students need to pay attention to what is going on around them to ensure situations like this are not occurring.”

Farley said that some other factors that could cause more budget cuts are “revenue projects, school enrollment projections, case load projections for AHCCCS and the governor underfunded the court-ordered inflation funding for our K-12 schools.”

Worthington said.

The Fulbright program offers students the opportunity to do either an English Teaching Assistantship or a study/research grant and also brings international students and faculty to the UA, Kotay said.

Worthington explained that the application process required many steps to be completed, and he stated, “Kotay was a huge help with all of this at every step along the way — I wouldn’t be here without her.”

Additionally, Worthington had the opportunity to visit the Czech Republic, Poland and France. He is planning to take part in a geology research field trip to Croatia and Bosnia in the near future.

“Traveling and seeing new places has probably slowed my research down a bit, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and totally worth it,” he said.

In May 2016, Worthington plans on finishing his doctorate degree once he returns from Germany. He described his plans as “work hard, play hard; explore, meet lots of people and learn.”

Worthington added that “traveling is a temporary and transient phenomenon” where you partly assimilate into a culture, helping to “reevaluate the culture you come from with a fresh perspective.”

The Fulbright Week program is set to hold an information session at the Slonaker House today from 2-3 p.m.

Farley added that, with all of these items combined, “another $5 million” could be cut, which could be a problem if universities were sought after more.

has now been redefined to 10 percent, while they are often individually interacting with groups and students in discussion.

Never Settle focuses on four main pillars: engaging, innovating, partnering and synergy, all of which can be seen at UA right now, Comrie said.

However, a main focus has been to improve student engagement and make sure it is at 100 percent. To make that happen, the UA introduced several student engaging enhancements in attempts to make the overall UA experience distinct.

When evaluating the homestyle, the “stage on stage” teaching and learning approach — which was employed in many UA classrooms — was not found to be the best way for students to retain information, Comrie said.

As a result, more interactive, engaging styles were introduced to professors and students to follow a “100 percent real-time, real-world” experience.

This includes more group interaction between students, as well as focusing on core components instead of attempting to cram too many ideas into one class period, an approach that has seen success, Comrie said.

According to a progress report for the Never Settle academic program, in spring 2014,

internship opportunities have increased by 13 percent, adding more than 400 opportunities for students, such as those that are co-curricular. One new addition is the UA’s partnership with Mister Car Wash, which now provides students with various internships from marketing to accounting all over the U.S., said Melissa Vito, senior vice provost of academic initiatives.

Vito also added that after studying retention rates for students, those who were struggling in math were significantly less likely to remain students at the UA. To help with this, the Schedule for Success program was introduced in 2011 to assist students with math and take the subject at a slower, more personalized pace.

As a result, math success increased by 10 percent from 2011 to 2014, Vito said.

Comrie added that integration between real-world experiences and what students learn in the classroom is key and is something employers look for.

“We ask ourselves, ‘What do we do that makes your education worth even more when you come out of here?’” Comrie said.

Vito and Comrie said student engagement will continue to be a focus in the future and throughout Never Settle’s presence at the UA.

Stuck again on Capitol Hill TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Congress will return to work Monday with only four days left to pass a U.S. Department of Homeland Security funding bill and avert a partial agency shutdown and the furlough of about 30,000 federal employees.

Most of the department’s employees would be deemed “essential” and kept working even if the Congress and President Barack Obama don’t agree in time.

The nation’s airports, borders and political leaders would continue to be protected during a partial shutdown.

But even those who work would be unsure of their paychecks until Congress finds a way to fund the agency beyond Friday, when it runs out of money.

Capitol Hill is “stuck.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has been unable to move a bill to provide the department with $40 billion through September, because of a Democratic filibuster over added language that would reverse some of Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

“The House has done its job under the Constitution,” R-Ohio House Speaker John Boehner said. “It’s time for the Senate to do their job.”

Democrats and a few Republicans in both chambers are pressing for a “clean” bill, without the immigration-

related amendments, arguing that not funding the department when the Islamic State and other groups are committing terrorist acts worldwide would be political suicide.

The White House will try to keep the heat on Congress when Obama hosts a nationally televised town hall meeting on immigration Wednesday in Miami.

Some lawmakers, such as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., think a federal judge in Texas threw Congress a lifeline last week when he issued an injunction blocking Obama’s actions to shield from deportation more than 4 million immigrants who live in the United States illegally.

“It’s not a good idea … to shut down the Department of Homeland Security,” McCain said Thursday on MSNBC. “And now we’ve got a perfect reason to not shut it down because the courts have decided, at least initially, in our favor.”

But instead of softening the debate, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s ruling appears to have hardened both sides.

“Senate Democrats — especially those who’ve voiced opposition to the president’s executive overreach — should end their partisan filibuster of Department of Homeland Security funding,” McConnell said after Hanen’s decision.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that “Democrats’ offer to first fund Homeland Security

and then debate immigration stands. All Republicans have to do is say, ‘Yes.’” Outside groups are pressuring lawmakers to hold the line.

“What we want is for Congress to pass a clean DHS bill and for the parties to come together to pass a comprehensive immigration bill,” said Hector Sanchez, chairman of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda.

Kevin Broughton, communications

director for the Tea Party Patriots, said it was time for Republicans to make good on campaign vows to address Obama’s executive actions.

“The point is that Republicans last fall went hard against executive amnesty. … Now is not the time to lose your nerve,” he said.

With the fate of the funding bill uncertain, the agency is preparing for a possible partial shutdown. DHS officials said 30,000 employees — about 15 percent of its workforce —

US administration plans for spring offensive TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Barely a week into his new job, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter is seeking advice beyond the Pentagon to assess strategy on the campaign to defeat Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.

Carter, after a two-day visit to Afghanistan, arrived Sunday in Kuwait for a daylong policy review Monday that will bring together U.S. military, State Department and intelligence officials.

Carter’s request for the unusual session involving 25 to 35 people doesn’t reflect concerns about the current strategy, according to a defense official who briefed reporters Sunday on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. Instead, the new secretary wants to better understand its underpinnings and rationale, the official said.

“I’m trying to assess the situation in Iraq, Syria and the region more generally,” Carter said aboard his plane Friday before an announcement of the Kuwait conference was made. “This is a complicated political-military situation, and it’s a regional issue.”

Republicans in Congress have criticized President Barack Obama’s administration for not being more aggressive against the radical Sunni Muslim group that has declared a caliphate, or religious state, in parts of Iraq and Syria.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has called for using more air power in Syria, the creation of a nofly zone and sending arms to moderate Syrian rebels fighting both Islamic State

might be furloughed.

That group would include 5,500 of the Transportation Security Administration’s employees but exclude federal air marshals.

Front-line divisions such as the TSA, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard would continue to operate.

and the Syrian government.

After more than 2,500 airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria over the past six months, the administration is planning a spring offensive with Iraqi forces to retake the city of Mosul, which the Islamic State captured in June.

The U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, outlined plans last week for using 20,000 to 25,000 Iraqi troops to defeat 1,000 to 2,000 Islamic State fighters occupying Iraq’s second-largest city. U.S. advisers plan to train the Iraqi forces before the operation could begin.

Among the issues Carter wants to explore at the strategy session are the strength of the Iraqi army, plans for political reconciliation with Sunni tribes

in Iraq, the status of the air campaign and the program to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels, the official said.

The aim is to add new ideas and energy to the conversation and isn’t expected to generate immediate action, the defense official said.

PowerPoint presentations have been banned to generate open discussion, the official said.

Carter wants to review State Department engagement with the Syrian rebels and to what extent those forces are fractured, the official said.

He will also assess the contributions of coalition allies and their potential for doing more, the official added.

Carter said he wouldn’t visit Iraq during this trip because he needed to review strategy first.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Al-Shabab militants attacked a hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia, where lawmakers and government officials were holding Friday prayers.

Twin explosions rocked the Central Hotel, one suicide bomber attacked the outside gate and the other attacked inside the compound, according to news reports.

Gunmen then stormed the building in a signature attack of al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked group that claimed responsibility for the attack and is fighting to topple the U.N.-backed Somali government.

The hotel is near the Villa Somalia government compound, and the dead include several government officials and lawmakers, the reports said. Deputy prime minister Mohamed Omar Arte was wounded.

“The building was badly hit, the explosion was very big,” police officer Abulrahman Ali told the Agence France-Presse news service. Witness Ali Hussein said he saw 10 dead, according to AFP. Al-Shabab has recently suffered a series of crucial setbacks after losing several leaders in U.S. airstrikes.

It has lost control of key towns and cities but remains capable of carrying out devastating terror attacks in Mogadishu and other Somali communities.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud condemned the latest attack but said it would not stop Somalia from restoring peace.

“We shall continue the anti-terrorism war,” he said in a statement. “This attack makes clear that terrorists don’t have any respect for the peaceful religion of Islam by killing innocent Muslims.”

Abdi Aynte, minister of planning and international cooperation, wrote on Twitter that the militants would not break the country’s spirit.

“Terrorist groups can kill and injure us, but they can never break the spirit of the Somali people,” he said. “We shall overcome.”

Next ‘Daily Show’ host: nobody

BY NICK HAVEY

The Daily Wildcat

T

his great nation suffered a tragedy this last week: Jon Stewart announced he was leaving “The Daily Show,” something that existed before him but that he turned into a powerful political and comedic entity.

In the wake of his departure, fans began suggesting replacements, pointing at comedians and pundits with one hand while wiping away tears with the other.

Who should replace Stewart? No one.

“The Daily Show” is something we millennials grew up with. We laughed, we laughed some more and we even got a little bit of news while watching it. That being said, preferably, it should fade into obscurity — and possibly syndication — with a good memory rather than suffering a long and slow decline. Often, television shows, books and movies hand the reins off to the worst possible jockey.

And let’s face it, reboots suck.

One reboot, though, that I could get behind is moving Jessica Williams from the correspondent’s seat to the chair in the middle.

But unlike Ester Bloom of The Billfold, I hold no illusions about forcefully pushing someone into a role for which they don’t aspire. In her article, Bloom begs Williams to “lean in,” referencing the inescapable book encouraging women to lean into their positions and really get their heads in the game to overcome institutionalized sexism, a call to arms Williams rightfully takes offense to.

“Bullshit,” Bloom writes, in response to Williams’ public assertions that she doesn’t want Stewart’s job. “All Williams needs is a pep talk. Get Luvvie in a room with her, and Jazmine, and Amy Poehler and Lena Dunham. Get Paul Feig in there too, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, and George R. R. Martin. Get her the best Lean In group of all time. She will emerge as from a funeral pyre, naked and coiled in dragons, ready to lead.”

I’m not really certain how that was ever construed as inoffensive. Does anyone really want to be told that they need to be reborn in fire a la Daenerys Targaryen because their current existence is subpar? Probably not.

Bloom’s assertion that Williams’ personal career decisions could reduce systemic racism and sexism within the entertainment industry is well-intentioned, but, in effect, it perpetuates the same problems it seeks to solve.

Williams has been a favorite addition to “The Daily Show” cast of witty and accomplished political comedians, and her work has frequently been a testament to the problems that Bloom thinks her promotion could solve; she’s tackled issues such as white appropriation of black hair and gender bias in the workplace.

But Williams is a boss and therefore knows what she wants, something she politely made known on Twitter in response to Bloom’s piece.

“I am a black woman and I am a feminist and I am so many things,” she wrote. “I am truly honored that people love my work. But I am not yours.”

Her proclamation, “I am not yours,” talks back to the trend of insincere affirmative action within the entertainment industry. No one wants to be a charity case hired for their color or gender rather than their merit, and while Bloom may have thought she was doing Williams a favor in endorsing her, her article read more as an indictment of white guilt.

Besides, this promotion isn’t necessarily a great step for Williams. Her star is rising, and the position would be a challenging encounter with expectations for any successor. Stewart left behind a legacy that anyone, experienced in the position or not, would find difficult to follow. So, why are we asking anyone to do so?

While Jimmy Fallon might have worked out on “The Tonight Show,” I think we can all agree that we want to punch Piers Morgan in the face whenever he speaks. Sometimes, a legacy is too easily ruined.

So, don’t try to replace Stewart, Comedy Central. Let “The Daily Show” die in peace. Let its reruns be artifacts on late night TV, always there to serve as an especially funny and relevant but inappropriate citation for a class paper.

That’s the message that countless Native Americans have been confronted with when trying to access their Facebook accounts.

Social media is the new hub for introductions and conversations alike. In this new forum, the standard introduction generally involves scanning a new person’s profile for their name.

For most, establishing an online identity is as simple as providing a full name and a few other personal details. No one suspects the information of being fraudulent; from then on, staying connected with news, friends and family becomes as easy as logging in.

For many Native Americans, however, things aren’t so easy.

Facebook’s “real-name policy” ­— which aims to prevent and

deactivate fraudulent accounts — has backfired. It has determined that many Native American names are inauthentic. This error often arises in cases when a traditional Native American name contains a combination of adjectives and nouns. Users whose names are flagged by this policy are suspended from their accounts until they provide multiple, invasive sources of documentation such as birth certificates, driver’s licenses and tribal IDs to validate their preferred names.

Others are forced to change their online names entirely.

According to interviews with the Washington Post, Facebook users such as Shane Creepingbear and Dana Lone Hill — both reported for their surnames — have publicly decried the policy in response to being suspended from their accounts multiple times.

To add insult to injury, the suspension occurred to Creepingbear on Columbus Day, otherwise known as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. “Try again @Creepingbear apparently my family name does not meet @facebook standards.

Way to go #ColumbusDay #facebook,” Creepingbear tweeted.

Another user, Oglala Lakota

Lance Brown Eyes, provided Facebook with the requested forms of ID upon being suspended. After the situation had been processed, however, Brown Eyes logged into his account to find that Facebook had permanently changed his name to “Lance Brown.”

Public dialogue raises the question: Are these policies careless oversights on behalf of Facebook’s fraud detection algorithm or a form of racism requiring that social media users adopt more traditionally Anglo names?

Because only a select few Facebook users are required to prove the validity of their names, it’s obvious that Facebook’s policy reflects not just the goal to promote authenticity but a desire to manipulate users into adopting names that better fit into America’s accepted spectrum of “familiar” names.

Donna Swaim, a recently-retired faculty fellow of the UA Native American Student Affairs, agrees she “would attribute [Facebook’s] inappropriate reaction to Native American names to narrow perceptions of ‘normal’ naming.”

Native Americans face scrutiny that the John Smiths and Mary Johnsons of Facebook will never be forced to encounter. This is, in part, because the “real-name

It has determined that many Native American names are inauthentic

policy” relies on community reports to deactivate “suspicious” accounts. Any user who comes across a name they think could be fake has the power to report that person to Facebook.

This means that the number of people negatively affected by the “real-name policy” is directly correlated with the cultural awareness of other Facebook users. Those with limited knowledge or those who are culturally insensitive toward nonEuropean names are more likely to falsely report Native Americans.

If Facebook won’t rescind its policy, the best way to counter it is to promote the idea that a person’s usage of their preferred name is entirely their choice. Even if that name seems foreign or unreal, it’s not for others to decide whether it should be accepted or not.

After all, it would be better for a few misguided, fraudulent accounts to slip by on Facebook than for hundreds or thousands of people’s authentic names to be degraded and treated as jokes.

Whether or not the subjugation of its users was Facebook’s intention in establishing the policy, it is certainly the impact.

Facebook has developed the most effective and damaging way to marginalize a group of people: Strip them of an essential part of their identities.

EDITORIAL

Arizona aims low on standards In order to graduate, an Arizona high school student must spend four years studying math and English, but they no longer need to pass a basic test proving that those classes have taught them how to read a passage and interpret a graph.

This disconnect comes as a result of an emergency bill signed into law on Friday

by Secretary of State Michele Reagan. High school juniors and seniors who hadn’t yet passed all three sections of the Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards were set to retake the test today. This law spared them from having to earn their diploma by first proving that their four years of study have actually taught them something.

It’s always been clear that four years of math courses in the Amphitheater School District can look very different from the same set of classes at the Sunnyside School District. The quality of education a student receives can change radically depending on the school in which they enroll, often a result of the United States’ policy, unique among developed countries, of tying education funding to local property taxes — the richer the neighborhood, the better the schools.

Our one method of ascertaining that a high school diploma meant something concrete was the state-wide standardized AIMS test. It was our tool for ensuring that

even the worst, most underfunded schools in the state were providing their students with some baseline skills. Students were required to pass the test in order to graduate, though there were always alternatives: good grades could lead to up to a 25 percent bump in AIMS scores, and students could earn a score of 420 on the SAT or 16 on the ACT for the corresponding section of the AIMS. For comparison, the ACT considers a score of 18 in English and 22 in Math and reading to be “college readiness benchmarks,” the scores that suggest a student would have a 75 percent chance of earning a C in a firstyear college course. Colleges classified as “open,” or colleges that consider it their duty to educate all high school graduates, average a cut-off composite score of 17.

The AIMS standards are not overly difficult.

The new law doesn’t even require students to pass the new AzMERIT test, which will replace the AIMS in 2017. It simply forbids any standardized testing requirement from being implemented before 2018 — other than Gov. Doug Ducey’s new civics test law. This means that Arizona high school graduates will have to prove they have knowledge of the constitution but not prove that they can read it.

Passing some sort of standardized

baseline test should be required of all students in order to graduate high school.

Whether that test is aligned with state standards, national expectations or some combination of both, a test must be in place.

It shouldn’t be unreasonable to expect a student who has taken 12 years of school to pass a test proving that they understand the basic math, reading comprehension and writing skills they’ve been taught.

It’s common sense to ensure students have acquired the skills they’ll need in higher education settings, professional jobs and even in their daily lives. If no test or standard holds high schoolers accountable for their education now, who will do it when they have graduated?

A high school diploma simply illustrates a skillset of knowledge. Without a fair and impartial measure of the ability to use those skills, a diploma is just a piece of paper.

Smell you later

A non-UA-affiliated individual was reported for being unwanted at the Main Library on Feb. 11 at 7:59 p.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer spoke with a library information associate who pointed out an individual using a computer who was asked to leave twice in the last four weeks for violating the user code of conduct regarding hygiene.

The officer asked the man if they could speak outside. The individual said he recently had an exclusionary order from the library for hygiene issues but said he corrected his problem.

The officer explained this was his third incident in violating the policy. The individual said he had been using the computer since 8 a.m. to complete his GED. He said he did not receive any complaints from others around him. The officer explained how to request a review of his exclusionary order. A six-month exclusionary order was issued for all the libraries on the UA campus. He was given a copy of his order and left without issue.

Car jam

A UA student called the UAPD to report an accident on the south side of the Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall on Feb. 11 at 2 p.m.

The officer met the woman next to a Toyota Prius with damage to the front end of the vehicle. She told the officer she was its authorized user, but her parents own it. The car was parked in the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage since 7 a.m.

A man drove the vehicle that morning. He said he parked the Prius on the third-to fourth-level ramp on the south side of the garage. He backed into the parking space so the front end was facing outward. He said he returned to the vehicle just before 2 p.m. and relocated it to the alley where it was parked with the damage.

According to the report, there was severe damage to the front of the car, center of the hood and passenger side. The front passenger tire was also flat with indents in the rims.

The man said he had not noticed the damage or flat tire, because he approached the vehicle from the driver’s side. When the officer questioned him about driving three floors into the garage and not noticing the flat tire, he said the vehicle “floated” when he drove it. The officer did not locate any vehicle or debris in the garage that could have been associated with the damage.

The authorized driver wished to participate in further judicial proceedings but waiver her victim’s rights. Photos were placed in UAPD Property and Evidence.

RICE TAKES THE CAKE Arizona baseball may have won Saturday’s game in exciting fashion, but No. 17 Rice took the three-game series 2-1

BY NICOLE COUSINS The Daily Wildcat

The rally caps were on for Arizona baseball this weekend, but it just wasn’t enough to overcome the overwhelming hitting power of No. 17 Rice.

Arizona (6-2) lost the series 2-1 after losing Sunday’s rubber match at Hi Corbett Field.

The Wildcats rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the seventh inning to tie it up and push extra innings, but Rice (5-3) took advantage of a throwing error in the 10th to win the game 6-4.

Arizona first baseman Sawyer Gieseke committed the throwing error off a sac bunt by Grayson Lewis. He tried to connect with shortstop Kevin Newman at third to tag out Rice’s Ryan Chandler, but the ball ricocheted off the ground and into left field, allowing Chandler to score.

“It was a good one to win, tough one to lose,” Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said. “If Rice would have walked in here hitting .210 and averaging four or five hits a game, then I would have been concerned … but that’s a good hitting team.”

Arizona starting pitcher Tyger Talley pitched just 3.1 innings, giving up nine hits, four runs and recording three strikeouts.

Relievers Cameron Ming, Bobby Dalbec and Xavier Borde combined to give up seven hits and two runs and prevented Rice from earning a run in the fifth through ninth innings.

“This proved to us that we’re never out,” Newman said. “It’s

hile Arizona men’s basketball had a Thursday and Saturday to remember last week, and have won four straight, it’s time to rain on its parade.

No. 7 Wildcats (24-3, 11-2 Pac-12 Conference) beat UCLA on Saturday 57-47 to win their fourth straight game by at least 10 points, but it came after stressful starts to each half.

Arizona’s starters played like benchwarmers, as, once again, it seemed like the Wildcats overlooked an opponent.

“Our starters basically got punched in the face to the tune of 20-0,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said.

On Saturday, the Wildcats didn’t score their first points until 6:05 had passed. After the UA recovered and built a 14-point lead, it went another 6:51 without scoring to open the second half, blowing its 14-point lead in the meantime.

When asked what happened, Arizona point guard T.J. McConnell admitted the Wildcats’ nasty habit had returned.

“You probably could say we took them lightly in the beginning,” McConnell said.

“Then, we had that lead in the second half and probably took them lightly, and they made us pay … and when you do that to a team like UCLA, they’ll do what they did.”

Arizona didn’t really have any business winning the game and was helped tremendously

by UCLA’s lack of depth. Only eight Bruins played, despite three fouling out, and only one UCLA player scored more than 11 points : the coach’s son, Bryce Alford, who had 22 points on 13 shots.

Arizona’s starters only scored 30 points. Forwards Stanley Johnson was 1-for-9 from the field, Brandon Ashley was

“It’s really almost impossible to win when three players that you count on like that go 4-for25,” Miller said about them.

Fortunately for the Wildcats, reserve guard Gabe York scored a team-high 13 points, and backup center Dusan Ristic was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field for 12 points.

We took them lightly in the beginning — T.J. McConnell, Arizona point guard

Arizona women’s basketball’s road woes continued over the weekend as the Wildcats traveled to Los Angeles, Calif., and were swept by USC and UCLA. The two losses moved the UA to 9-18 on the season and 2-14 in Pac12 Conference play. Since defeating Wake Forest in early December, Arizona has dropped 10 consecutive road matchups.

Arizona held its own for much of the first half on Friday night but fell 77-51 to USC at the Galen Center. Arizona point guard Candice Warthen led the team with 14 points and brought in three rebounds.

The Wildcats got off to a 10-4 start in the opening minutes and tangled backand-forth with the Trojans throughout the first half. USC eventually added some distance and took a 33-26 lead into halftime.

Arizona struggled to maintain pace with the Trojans out of the locker room. USC shot 55 percent from the field in the second half. McKenzie Calvert led the home team with 14 points, including three makes from the outside.

USC beat the Wildcats in nearly every area, including the paint, where Arizona gave up 46 points. The Trojans won the rebounding battle 40-31 and also forced the UA into 16 turnovers.

The Wildcats were unable to find any sort of groove on offense, as they shot just 34 percent. Keyahndra Cannon stood out with 10 points, while LaBrittney Jones added in nine more off the bench.

Arizona did improve on its freethrow shooting by connecting on 11 of 13 attempts. USC, meanwhile, went 8-17 from the charity stripe.

The Wildcats closed out the trip on Sunday afternoon by falling 75-41 to UCLA at Pauley Pavilion.

UA guard Malena Washington knocked down a trio of 3-pointers en route to a team-high 15 points. No other Wildcat scored in double figures.

Arizona put together one of its worst shooting displays of the season by making just 26 percent of its attempts from the field. Aside from Washington,

SOFTBALL

Arizona alternates wins, losses

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

It’s not an understatement to say Arizona softball had a weekend full of highs and lows.

The No. 13 Wildcats hit the road for the first time and alternated wins and losses, going 2-3 at the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs, Calif. The Wildcats faced four ranked teams over the five games and moved their 2015 record to 11-3.

Arizona’s most recent game had the chance to end the weekend on a positive note. However, the Wildcats suffered a 2-3 defeat at the hands of No. 18 Missouri on Saturday night.

The Tigers jumped out early with two runs in the first inning off Arizona pitcher Michelle Floyd and held off a late UA rally in the home half of the seventh inning. Shortstop Kellie Fox was one of just four Wildcats to record a hit against Missouri and had the only Arizona RBI of the game.

Arizona was down 3-1 heading into the seventh inning and needed a seemingly improbable rally to tie things up. After a wild pitch scored a run, the game ended with the tying run on third base, and the Wildcats were left wondering what could have been.

Friday was a bit more fruitful for the Wildcats as the team defeated Northwestern 7-6 but lost to No. 14 LSU, 4-3.

LSU jumped out against Floyd and picked up the early lead, much like the Missouri game.

The Tigers put up three runs through the first three innings and chased Floyd from the game

the UA went 0-17 from behind the arc.

UCLA did not shoot the ball well itself but had enough offense to pull away early on.

After the game was tied at 9-9 after eight minutes, the Bruins went on a 15-4 run to provide some distance.

The lead had grown to 40-23 by halftime in favor of UCLA. Kelli Hayes led UCLA with 12 points, while Monique Billings added 10 more.

Arizona went six minutes without a point to start the second half while allowing the deficit to grow even larger.

The Wildcats would go on to make only five field goals in the entire half.

after four innings of work.

Arizona put up three runs in the sixth inning to make it a one-run margin but couldn’t come up with a seventh inning rally to tie the lead.

Floyd, a sophomore, suffered the first two losses of her collegiate career by losing to LSU and Missouri.

The matchup with Northwestern ended the day on a positive note, as the two teams of Wildcats battled to a 7-6 Arizona victory.

Arizona jumped out to a five-run lead through the home half of the fourth inning and looked to be well on the way to a big win.

However, Northwestern put up five runs in the fourth inning alone and chased Arizona starter Trish Parks from the mound.

Parks gave up four earned runs in 3 2/3 innings and struck out seven on 50 pitches.

Arizona came up to bat in the top half of the seventh inning with a chance to grab the lead after each team added a run in the sixth. The UA snagged the go-ahead run on a Northwestern wild pitch, and Floyd closed out the bottom half of the inning to end the game.

Arizona catcher Chelsea Goodacre went 1-2 from the plate with a two-run home run against Northwestern. The home run was Goodacre’s 50th of her Arizona career.

Thursday’s matchups saw Arizona take on No. 11 Kentucky and No. 3 Oklahoma. The Wildcats split the matchups, losing 5-2 against Kentucky and defeating Oklahoma 5-4.

Arizona opened the classic with a Thursday morning game against Kentucky and Parks

Arizona was once again sloppy with the ball, committing 21 turnovers, which led to 26 UCLA fast-break points throughout the game. The Wildcats came down with 32 total rebounds compared to 50 by the Bruins.

UCLA also capitalized off a major discrepancy in bench points by outscoring Arizona’s bench 38-19.

The Wildcats now return home where they hope to end the regular season on a positive note. Arizona faces Colorado on Friday before playing Utah on Sunday for senior day.

looked like a freshman for the first time in her collegiate career.

Kentucky scored two runs in both the second and third innings to knock Parks out of the game after just three innings of work. Only four UA players recorded a hit, with outfielder Eva Watson putting up three of the team’s seven hits on the game.

Parks recorded the loss for the first defeat in her collegiate career.

Thursday’s night cap with Oklahoma wasn’t too different from a hits perspective, but the result was night and day compared to the Kentucky matchup.

The Wildcats jumped out on the higher ranked team by putting up four runs over the first five innings of the game and holding the Sooners scoreless. However, Oklahoma’s star first baseman, Lauren Chamberlain, hit her 79th career home run in the sixth inning to cut Arizona’s lead to 4-2.

After the Sooners added two more runs in the top half of the seventh inning, everything changed. Fox came up to bat and belted a walkoff solo home run to give Arizona a stunning 5-4 victory.

Looking forward, Arizona is off until Friday when Colorado State and UTEP come to Hillenbrand Stadium for the first two of six weekend games for the Wildcats.

offense, and we really didn’t run very good zone offense,” McConnell said. “But, [York] made some big shots, and he’s the key reason we won.”

Arizona’s depth was impressive. How many teams can still beat a potential NCAA tournament team with their stars playing so poorly? But, they can’t rely on bench players to get wins that often.

Arizona keeps overlooking opponents, a habit that has stuck it with three bad losses and dropped its road record to 6-3 when it should be 9-0.

After losing to RPI No. 96 UNLV and RPI No. 83 ASU, the Wildcats pledged to

focus and bounce back — and they did.

After losing in Las Vegas, Arizona pounded ASU 73-49. After being upset at Oregon State, it won six in a row. After getting shocked at ASU, it won four in a row.

However, the win over UCLA showed chinks in the Wildcats’ armor. Sure, last week they retired Jason Terry’s jersey, beat USC by 30, hosted ESPN College GameDay and beat the Bruins. But if they follow their current modus operandi, they will lose to Colorado (12-14, 5-9) on Thursday or to California (16-11, 6-8) at home.

How many times do the Wildcats have to learn their lesson? Realistically, they should be undefeated.

At least on Saturday, the Wildcats showed it’s all hands on deck, making it look a little less likely that they will fall into another trap game.

In fact, after Miller ripped off his suit jacket on Saturday, he was tempted to help.

“I wanted to jump in there and start playing, but I couldn’t, so that was my best [move],” Miller said. “I probably looked like an idiot, but it won’t be the last time.”

Arizona men’s golf team spent the weekend in Lihue, Hawaii, at the John Burns Invitational, and the Wildcats nearly mirrored their performance from the Arizona Intercollegiate in late January. Arizona finished in seventh place and shot a total of 865 (+13) in the Arizona Intercollegiate, and finished in seventh place and shot an 884 (+20) at the John Burns Invitational.

“We improved a lot as a team this event, and we took a few steps forward as a team,” Arizona men’s golf head coach Jim Anderson said. “I liked the way our team played overall in the tournament.”

Freshman George Cunningham had a fulfilling week while taking a detour to Pacific Palisades, Calif., to compete for the Northern Trust Open Collegiate Showcase on Feb. 16.

Cunningham recorded a one-over 72 and tied for second place along with Jim Furyk, a former Wildcat and Professional Golfers’ Association icon.

Heading into Hawaii, Cunningham acquired a few helpful tips and compliments from Furyk.

definitely good to know we can compete with anybody.”

Newman went 2-5 with an RBI on Sunday and scored on a game-winning walk off steal on Saturday to even the series.

Rice jumped out of the gate early on Sunday with a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

Rice’s Ford Stainback reached home first, but was ejected at home plate after a tangle with Arizona catcher Riley Moore.

Arizona’s seventh inning rally came after Gieseke was hit by a pitch. Scott Kingery then hit a single that allowed Gieseke to beat out the throw at home plate. Kingery took off to second following the throw home, and Rice catcher John Clay Reeves overthrew second base to center field, allowing Kingery to round the bases for a two-run at-bat.

“I knew that as soon as I hit it, [Gieseke] would score,” Kingery said. “If they made a throw, I knew I would have to get into scoring position for Newman. When they made a bad throw and I saw the shortstop jump over me, I saw the ball rolling to the fence, and I just kept running.”

“George is more confident than ever after having a great round in Pacific Palisades,” Anderson said. “He also took some notes from Jim, and it really helped George with his game.”

Cunningham entered the final round on Friday tied for the lead after shooting 68 (-4) in the first round and 70 (-2) in the second round. The freshman was also in the lead among Pac-12 Conference opponents.

Cunningham fell in the final day after shooting a 74 (+2) and finished tied for fourth place with a final score of 212 (-4). The final score Cunningham posted was also the second time in a week that he finished in the top five of an event.

“George played [phenomenally] the entire tournament, even though he double-bogeyed early on in the final round, but he picked up and finished fourth,” Anderson said. “He is a true competitor and stayed relax.”

Alex McMahon finished tied for 17th place after shooting a total score of 220 (+4).

McMahon collected five birdies and recorded a four-under-par on Friday, jumping from being tied for 45th place on Thursday.

“Alex played tough and competed well on the final round,” Anderson said.

McMahon adds experience and credibility to the team after winning the Mayfair Award for the top amateur golfer in Arizona. McMahon doesn’t have all of the experience that Furyk has, but he mentors underclassmen such as Cunningham.

“Alex adds experience to our team that can help us later in the season, and he’s a quality leader that is extremely valued,” Anderson said.

As a team, Arizona said finished in seventh place and shot a 20-over-par. Cunningham emerged as a reliable player for Anderson.

He played two tournaments, which included four total rounds of golf, and finished in the top five.

The next event for the Wildcats is the National Invitation Tournament, which will be hosted at the Omni Tucson National.

The Wildcats host the NIT from Feb. 28 to March 2.

“This road trip was great for the guys, but now it’s time to get back home and build off of what we accomplished today,” Anderson said.

The second baseman also made a great defensive stop in the ninth inning off a grounder up the middle by Rice’s Charlie Warren. He flipped the ball back to Newman who had his foot on the bag to force out Connor Teykl, but the umpire ruled that Newman trapped the ball and called Teykl safe.

“It was tricky, because I was on top of the ball and the ball was in my mitt,” Newman said.

“The umpire thought I was trapping it on the ground when the runner touched the bag, and I wasn’t.”

Rice ended Sunday’s game with 16 hits, contributing to their 43 total on the weekend.

Rice’s Reeves went 5-6 with three RBIs in the afternoon matchup.

“That Reeves kid can hit,” said Dalbec, who recorded the decision loss. “They’re a tough team to pitch, and a tough team to beat.”

The Wildcats trailed 3-0 before scoring in the third inning in each game of the series. Arizona takes Monday off before returning to Hi Corbett Field to host Oakland for a two-game series on Tuesday.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships 47% of UA students are single/not dating, 13% are casually dating, 34% are exclusively dating one person, and 4% are engaged or married. (2014 Health & Wellness Survey, n=1,941)

Q

If it’s illegal to pay for sex, how do porn stars get paid?

A. The short answer is that while prostitutes are paid for sexual gratification, porn stars are paid to act.

Believe it or not, this is the slight distinction that makes porn legal, unlike sex for hire.

According to the law, actors who engage in pornography are actors first – the fact that sex is part of the role is incidental. The First Amendment protects free speech, which over time has been extended to include the freedom of expression and a wide range of “artistic” pursuits, including films that depict graphic sex.

In fact, the law has even shaped where porn is produced. Just as California is home to Hollywood and the motion picture industry, the 1988 California Supreme Court ruling of California vs.

Freeman afforded additional protections in the Golden State, thereby leading to the proliferation of adult films there. In the case, Harold Freeman, an adult film producer/director was convicted of pandering (pimping) while hiring adult film actors, but appealed the sentence. When the

California Supreme Court overturned his conviction on the grounds that the purpose of the film was not for the sexual gratification of himself or the actors involved, the charges were dropped on the basis of rights afforded by the First Amendment. Arousal on the part of the film’s consumers, however central to its production, was not deemed relevant to the case.

An attempt to appeal this decision to the United States Supreme Court was denied, allowing the 1988 ruling to stand, and with it, the open production of pornography in California. Porn purveyors outside of California have, in turn, viewed the ruling as evidence that they face little risk of prosecution, and so far this has largely gone unchallenged.

The Freeman case was not the first to address pornography and will not likely be the last. Back in 1964, the topic of what constitutes porn yielded perhaps the most famous quote ever uttered by a member of the Supreme Court, when Justice Potter Stewart acknowledged the subjective and elusive definition of obscenity, by simply stating “I know it when I see it.”

THE 87TH ACADEMY AWARDS Neil Patrick Harris brought out his signature humor and magic for the Oscars, where “Birdman” won big

BY ALEX GUYTON

The Daily Wildcat

“Birdman” soars, “Grand Budapest Hotel” checks out, “Boyhood” stunted

Both “Birdman” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” rounded out the evening with four awards, with the former taking home both Best Director and Best Picture.

“Boyhood,” which many slated to be the biggest competition to “Birdman” (or, as some said, “Birdman” was the biggest competition to “Boyhood”) only took home a single award.

According to plan

The four awards in acting went as many predicted. To no surprise, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Best Actress in a Leading Role went to J.K. Simmons, Patricia Arquette and Julianne Moore, respectively. Michael Keaton’s performance in “Birdman” versus Eddie Redmayne’s in “The Theory of Everything” was a narrative that was being pushed leading up to the ceremony, but Best Actor in a Leading Role never seemed to belong to anyone other than Redmayne.

Year of the speech

The numerous memorable speeches were the highlights of the evening. The tone was set when Pawel Pawlikowski, director of Best Foreign Language Film “Ida,” literally talked over the orchestra that was attempting, in vain, to play him off. Both Redmayne and Moore drew awareness to ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which afflicts professor Stephen Hawking, who Redmayne portrayed. In a heartfelt moment when he revealed that he had attempted suicide when he was 16,

Graham Moore, recipient of Best Adapted Screenplay for “The Imitation Game,” encouraged everyone to “stay weird, stay different.” However, the speech that started making rounds around the Internet as soon as it was televised was Arquette’s, who passionately advocated for wage equality. “To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights,” Arquette said. “It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”

Singing the praises

Music was the big spectacle at an awards show for film. Early on, Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island, along with a myriad of colorful extras that included Will Arnett in a Batman costume, performed “Everything Is Awesome” from “The LEGO Movie.” John Legend and Common, with a choir at their backs, performed “Glory” from “Selma,” which would go on to win Best Original Song. In a tribute to the 50th anniversary of “The Sound of Music,” Lady Gaga sang a medley of four tracks from the film. Julie Andrews met an emotional Gaga after her performance on stage.

Gone and, sadly, forgotten

Though always impossible to respect all of the influential people in the film industry that had passed away over the past year, there was one very notable exception this year: Joan Rivers. Other than appearing in numerous films, Rivers wrote and directed the 1978 “Rabbit Test.”
