Adjusting to the NBA may seem challenging in terms of size, game play, intelligence of the game or overall athleticism. Yet one of the most difficult challenges for former Arizona forward Stanley Johnson is the amount of free time. “There’s so much free time,” Johnson said. “What do I do with my off days? You have to find a hobby to keep your mind off basketball, but not something too wild, because you still need to think about basketball.” From the outside, it seems that a league player
would constantly be getting shots in the gym, working out or maybe running drills. An athlete’s body needs rest. Some of the ways that Johnson keeps busy is with massages or pedicures; something to stay relaxed on his days off from work. Aside from adjusting to the free time, Johnson is confident that his background at the UA helped him develop and adjust to the NBA. Arizona basketball is a program that concentrates on the team aspect and being specifically A Players Program. When Johnson

The UA College of Education’s World of Words is growing its library and strengthening its literacy efforts by creating a visiting scholar program in Mexico in collaboration with Resplandor International. The program honors Richard Ruiz who died in spring 2015. Ruiz was a former honors college faculty member and head of the UA’s Department of Mexican American Studies. Kathy Short, professor in the College of Education and WOW program director, said the program hopes to bring cultures across borders together. “What’s powerful about this program is it’s a collaboration across so many different groups who are working together to establish a community resource and build connections,” Short said. WOW focuses on building intercultural understanding through global literature with a collection of global books. The book levels range from preschool to 12th grade. The program has a website containing several resources and journals that educators from over 180 different countries have access to, according to Short. She said this collaboration came about because the program aims to do a lot of outreach locally and globally, and Resplandor International had a desire to create a library as a community resource. The library is a way to reach out to children and adults in the community by focusing on literacy. Todd Fletcher, associate professor in the UA Department of Disability and Psychoeducational Studies and director of Resplandor International, said part of the idea to create this program came from his already-developed relationships in Mexico. Resplandor, which was founded in 2009, is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization here in the U.S. Resplandor’s goal is promoting social and economic development through education, according to Fletcher. “The reason this all came about is because of my experience in Mexico,” Fletcher said.

Adderall emergency visits up 156 percent, non-medical use soars
BY AKSHAY SYAL
The Daily Wildcat
Adderall-related emergency department visits went up by a whopping 156 percent since 2006, according to a new study. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that for adults ages 18 25, treatment visits involving Adderall did not change, yet nonmedical Adderall use went up 67 percent. Adderall, a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, is a drug commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Individuals who suffer from ADHD are often easily distracted, have difficulty focusing and have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, among other symptoms. Like most medications, Adderall comes with potential side effects. According to the Food and Drug Administration, some possible side effects of the medication include stroke, heart attack, increased blood pressure and even sudden death in patients who have heart defects. As a result, users of the drug are strongly encouraged to be under

Because of this balancing act, students may increase their risks of alcohol poisoning. Shirazi also said that many of these kids experiment, adding in Xanax in an effort to counter act the severe anxiety they suffer from Adderall. Xanax, a highly addictive drug from the benzodiazepine family, is commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. A recent study published this month found the death rates from overdoses on benzodiazepines increased five-fold in the U.S. since 1996. While there are numerous reports about the rise in nonmedical Adderall use, there are many students on campus who actually need the drug. A UA senior studying economy and industry, who requested to remain anonymous, has been taking Adderall for six years to treat his ADHD, explained how he feels toward the drug as a patient watching others take it. “My biggest issue with them taking [Adderall] is that most of them have no idea how to use it,” the student said. “A lot of kids take way more then they need to, putting themselves in real danger.” The student was diagnosed with ADHD in high school by
his family physician and has been taking the drug under supervision. As a result, his physician was able to monitor his dosage and thoroughly explain the side effects and risks associated with the medication. The student, however, said that he has been approached numerous times by classmates seeking Adderall and often times obliged their requests, though in limited quantities. This case is not unusual, as a 2011 study found that 62 percent of college students prescribed Adderall diverted the medication to someone else. Because of all the potential complications of the drug, many are speaking out against the drug and asking for stricter regulations on the medication. Shirazi, however, felt society as a whole could do much more. “We should also look at how we are evaluating ADHD and how we can treat them with other entities,” Shirazi said. “Such as other coping skills that one can be taught, rather than relying solely on stimulants and chemicals.”

direct physician supervision when on the medication. To find out if the UA had a similar trend in Adderall-related emergency visits, the Daily Wildcat spoke with Dr. F. Mazda Shirazi, associate professor at the UA College of Medicine and medical director at the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center. “We have indeed seen a large increase on stimulant use among college-age kids, both nationwide and at the UA,” Shirazi said. “Specifically, these kids tend to present with severe anxiety, elevated blood pressure and rapid heart rate.” One of the biggest issues, according to Shirazi, is that many children take Adderall in preparation for midterms and because of the increased energy from Adderall, they often go out and celebrate afterward. Because celebration usually comes with alcohol, this leads to serious consequences. Alcohol and Adderall should not be used in conjunction because alcohol is a depressant and Adderall is a stimulant. When mixed, users of the drug may find it difficult to know exactly how much they have had to drink, since Adderall lessens the depressive effects of alcohol.

Lute Olson Cancer Center Run raises awareness BY AVA GARCIA
The Daily Wildcat
The annual Lute Olson Cancer Center Run brought in race participants from the Tucson community to raise money for the UA Cancer Center on the UA Mall on Sunday morning. The event featured both a 3-kilometer and 8-kilometer run for participants, as well as booths for event sponsors and an appearance by Lute Olson, the retired UA basketball champion head coach and the man for whom the event is named. The event was initially called Catwalk when it started in 2001, according to Olson. It was started shortly after the death of Olson’s wife, Bobbi, who died from ovarian cancer complications. During its start, the money raised from the race primarily went toward women’s cancer research. Since then, the use of the money raised has been more flexible to allow the Cancer Center to decide where the money is needed the most, according to Olson. “There’s probably not a person in this group that hasn’t had somebody deal with cancer, so it’s like an epidemic and the only way we’re going to be able to find a cure is through money for research, so we’ve been doing this,” Olson said. One hundred percent of the race proceeds go to the Cancer Center, where they are then donated in the Bobbi Olson Fund for cancer research, according to Carter Hoffman, one of three chairmen of the UA Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, the organization that hosts the annual event. The fraternity has been in charge of organizing the event for the past six years after the Fraternity and Sorority Programs office, the original event sponsor, ceased sponsoring the event. “Because Lute Olson is an honorary

member of Pi Kappa Alpha, we decided that it was our obligation to keep it going and sponsor the event that’s in memory of his wife who passed away from cancer,” Hoffman said. Planning for the event started around June, Hoffman said, where much of the work involved contacting sponsors for the event. Sponsors are especially important in raising funds for cancer research, according to Olson. “That’s really where you make the money, rather than just the money from the people
that register,” Olson said. “The Pikes have done a great job of getting the title sponsor.” Participation in the event has nearly doubled, according to Hoffman. “I’m really excited about that. As far as that goes, I just want to see it keep growing, exponentially get better,” Hoffman said. The event also featured booths from other community partners like the Better than Ever Program, a community outreach program at the Cancer Center that promotes cancer research and prevention through weekly walking and running groups. According to Adrienne Lent, the program
coordinator for the Better than Ever Program, participating in the run does more than just raise funds for cancer research. “It’s also a great way for our athletes to get out and get some exercise and participate in the 8k and the 3k,” she said. “Physical activity has been scientifically shown to prevent a lot of common cancers so the more active we can get our community the less of a burden cancer is going to be.” Getting the community involved in the run is something that both Olson and Hoffman said they are working towards. For Hoffman, involvement from the community outside of the UA is especially important. “We’ve kind of strived to make it a Tucson-oriented event, not just a UA event, because the thing is, it’s Tucson company sponsoring a Tucson event that helps fund Tucson doctors and ultimately help cure patients that are Tucson locals,” Hoffman said. “So that’s one thing that we really push for.” For some though, the fact that the race is a UA event is one of the reasons they participate. Mike Bukowski, a race participant and UA alumnus of the class of 1988, said he brought his sons to the race to “[pass] it on” to them and to get back on campus. “We moved out of Tucson probably about 20 years ago,” Bukowski said. “It’s just nice to come home.” The event is a chance to bring the UA and Tucson community together. “A lot of Tucson research is done by Tucson doctors, but also UA students,” Hoffman said. “It’s kind of nice to see it all come full circle and really embody the city of Tucson with a name like Lute Olson. That’s something we really wanted to accomplish.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

Students file a petition for Hart
TOM PRICE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
CAMPUS PREACHER Dean Saxton address a crowd near the Administration building on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Saxton, also known as Brother Dean, made his return to campus, yelling what some deemed “hate speech” toward women, minorities and LGTBQ persons.
BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE The Daily Wildcat
UA students are finding a problem with freedom of speech when it is exercised by campus preachers who wish to spread what some are calling “hate speech” on campus. Recent events led one female student to start a petition on Change.org asking President Ann Weaver Hart to “End Sexual Harassment on U of A Campus.” The petitioner, Ali Cummings, wrote on her Facebook on Thursday, Feb. 18 that she had been sexually harassed by two preachers on the UA Mall. Cummings wrote that one man wearing a boy scout uniform called her a whore, while another man wearing a “You deserve rape!” T-shirt stood nearby with video camera in hand. In her petition, Cummings expressed frustration at the Dean of Students Office and University of Arizona Police Department officers who, she wrote, stood by while she and other students were “wrongly singled out” by the campus preachers. Cummings’ original post received over 1,600 shares and her petition has garnered almost 2,000 signatures. Campus preachers create a tricky situation for administrators and law enforcement officials who are tasked with protecting students, but are also held to the First Amendment and decisions set forth by the Supreme Court. Public universities must allow free speech and may only limit the time, place and manner of speech to prevent interference with the business operations of the university. For example, the UA limits sound amplification to 12-1 p.m., Monday through Friday and 5-7 p.m., Monday through Thursday. What the university cannot regulate is the content of speech because of the Supreme
Court ruling in R.A.V. v. St. Paul, which does not allow the prosecution of speech based solely on the subjects whom the speech addresses. “We cannot impose any restrictions based on the content or viewpoint of the speech offered by an individual, no matter how unfortunate or misguided,” Arizona Board of Regents President Eileen Klein wrote in a recent newsletter. Klein’s newsletter focused on free speech zones, which some public universities created and recent Arizona legislature is trying to do away with. “At Arizona’s public universities, free speech isn’t relegated to a special campus location or zone: The entire campus is a free speech zone,” Klein wrote. The reason UAPD and the Dean of Students Office will often be found watching exchanges between students and Mall preachers is because of complaints they have received. Kathy Adams Riester, assosciate dean of students, director of the Parents and Family Association and the campus safety coordinator, said when this happens, typically a university official will step in. “Someone from the Dean of Students Office, who’s First Amendment-trained, will go out and assess the situation and then determine whether or not they need to do something about it,” Riester said. As an example of a Dean of Students intervention, Riester said she stepped into a heated crowd before to lay down guidelines. “You can’t push people, you can’t touch people, you can’t take people’s things,” Riester said. Riester called UAPD last week on the way to a meeting when she saw a Mall preacher being assaulted by a student. One problem that many students have with the campus preachers is harassment
toward minorities and certain religions, as well as sexual harassment toward women and members of the LGBTQ community. Harassment, as defined in UA’s Discrimination and Non-Harassment Policy, is “unwelcome behavior, based on a protected classification, that a reasonable person would perceive to be sufficiently severe or pervasive to create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for academic pursuits.” When asked whether suing a campus preacher for slander could be an option, assistant professor of practice and former prosecuting attorney James Mitchell said there would have to be an underlying investigation of the speech. “If the guy came up to you and said ‘You deserve rape,’ then we would have to find out why he said that,” Mitchell said. “An opinion is protected, but if he’s making an allegation that can reasonably be assumed to be a factual statement about a particular person, then that person would have an action against him.” The hard part about a slander suit is that the plaintiff has the burden of proof and anyone wishing to sue a campus preacher would need evidence that the claim the preacher is making is false. Mitchell pointed out that proving such speech can be difficult. “The factual assertion is so squishy in there that it’s just awfully difficult,” Mitchell said. Mitchell’s recommendation for combating hate speech is more speech. In 2013, when UA students were facing similar hate messages from campus preacher and then-UA student, Dean Saxton, also known as Brother Dean, the Women’s Interests Collaborative put on an event in which students were given free posters that said “You Deserve...” Students then filled in the posters with what they believed others deserved. One woman, Paola Andrea Gonzalez
Martinez, wrote “You Deserve Love (Mark 12:28-34).” Martinez stood with other students near Brother Dean, sending a counter-message to the student body. The event went on to receive national attention. Martinez, a public health senior, said she believes the event was a success. “I think it was successful because we were finally able to show support of victims of rape and sexual assault,” Martinez said. “Throughout the day, people would come up to me and to other people that were holding signs, that were passionate and they would say ‘Thank you’ because they just, you know, were pretty tired of ... all the hateful comments and signs that [Brother Dean] had had up for like weeks.” Groups at the Women’s Resource Center met Thursday to discuss events to support the student body. Richard Gallon, student director of The Men’s Project and a senior studying communications and sociology, said these could include movie showings and discussions or the opening of another space on campus where students near the preachers could be invited to escape them. Gallon said that although he believes the “You Deserve...” event was effective on the campus level, he learned from his director that the national attention benefited Saxton, too. “The more right-wing extremist people actually started donating money to him so he could continue doing the things he’s doing,” Gallon said. Students can file complaints regarding harassment with the Dean of Students Office or the Office of Equity. Students are encouraged to call the police if they are concerned about their safety. — Follow Michelle Jaquette @MichelleJaquet

“When I studied there, it was all about building bridges, not walls, between our countries and how we can promote intercultural understanding and greater cooperation in the Americas.” This year will be Fletcher’s 30th year taking UA students to Mexico through a service learning study abroad program called Verano en Mexico. “This is an opportunity to develop relationships with local and regional communities to promote education, to promote literature, literacy and arts,” Fletcher said. The library will be a place where people from different communities can check out books and access computers. “I think that, while we see libraries here in the United States as a free, public resource, libraries are not an available free, public resource in Mexico,” Short said. “I don’t think that we understand fully how important having access to the books and materials are in terms of literacy and building cultural understanding.” WOW and Resplandor launched a fundraising campaign earlier this month in hope of raising $10,000 for a scholar in residence. They already raised $6,000 for Alba Nora Martinez, this year’s Richard Ruiz Scholar in Residence. Martinez, who worked at the UA for over 20 years and was a lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, was not only a colleague of Ruiz’s, but was recruited to the UA by him as well. Fletcher said Martinez is the perfect candidate because she is bilingual and bi-national, and possesses the knowledge and skills to operate in both environments here, as well as in Mexico. The money raised will go toward Martinez’s travel to and from Mexico, the cost of her stay, as well as her payment for working with the community as a scholar, Fletcher said. Martinez will be working at the base for Resplandor in Cajones, 10 miles outside Gunajuato, Mexico, during June and July. She will be helping the surrounding communities. “I feel very honored because without Richard, I wouldn’t be here,” Martinez said. “He brought me to the University of Arizona and this is a way of honoring him.” In terms of a library, it’s one thing to just have one but another to have someone there who can facilitate the process and teach kids how to use the library, as well as the joys of reading, according to Fletcher. He said if kids enjoy reading and are taught libraries can be interesting, they can become lifelong learners. Martinez said she’s thankful for the opportunity to change the lives of children by giving them more opportunities for education and learning about the world. “When I see children with a book, I imagine them having the world between their hands,” Martinez said.

ASUA ELECTIONS
At-large senate candidates talk diversity With recent attacks on the Islamic Center and racist vandalism at a student’s home, candidates share their ideas on making the campus all-inclusive

BY NICK JOHNSON The Daily Wildcat
With the recent incident regarding Nicollette Buckle, a black UA graduate student whose mailbox was defaced earlier this semester by vandals with racist remarks, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate candidates talked diversity, race and preachers on campus. ASUA Senate at-large candidate, Trinity Goss, is trying to promote diversity on campus and alluded to the racism seen at the University of Missouri, during which the UA Black Student Union held a protest in solidarity with the UM students. “I’ve been really involved and active in trying to promote diversity in an effective way,” Goss said. “An example of that is my club, the Black Student Union, held a demonstration and, as a result, the faculty held tours of each of the cultural centers and resource centers.” While this act of racism at Buckle’s home shocked students and faculty alike, racist sentiments against the Muslim community at the UA is nothing new to the Islamic Center of Tucson,
LORENZO JOHNSON
located off campus on First Street. The vandalism of the ICT by residents of the Sol y Luna apartments has been a reoccurring problem the past two academic years, the most recent incident occurring in January. The last incident prompted a meeting between the apartment’s management and ICT administration, which resulted in eviction of residents. Joey Steigerwald, another ASUA Senate at-large candidate, discussed the vandalism of the Islamic center. Steigerwald addressed the growing problem of prejudice against Muslim students and the Muslim community. “Islamophobia is becoming a real issue and, unfortunately, that’s not something we’re immune to even though this is a place of higher education,” Steigerwald said. “If I was elected, I would try and help make an environment that’s more accepting and understanding of different cultures; maybe have different events on campus that highlight cool things in other cultures.” In light of recent events, there are many resources on the UA campus that promote diversity, but some think that these resources are kept in the dark.
JOHN OLIVER
SHANNA NELSON
Senate at-large candidate Lorenzo Johnson feels these resources are under-represented and wants to find a way to make students more aware of the centers available to them. “A lot of students don’t [know] about the resources offered by the Martin Luther King Jr. Center,” Johnson said. “If elected, I would work on making students more aware of the resources available to them on campus.” John Oliver, senate at-large candidate, spoke specifically about campus preachers who directly obstruct students’ welfares by telling women they deserve rape and speaking negatively about homosexuality. “I really disagree with what Brother Dean is doing. I believe that we, as students, have a right to freedom of speech. We have that right to express our views how we want,” Oliver said. “But as soon as those views infringe on the rights of others, then that’s a problem.” Oliver also expressed his support of the petition that strives to remove these preachers. Diversity remains a topic high on the list for the ASUA. The candidates have some ideas on how to make the UA a

more diverse campus. ASUA Senate candidate Shanna Nelson agrees with her opponents that the UA can improve in diversity. She wants to include more students from different ethnicities in hopes of making the ASUA all-inclusive. “There is a lack of diversity in ASUA. I think by making ASUA more available to other students who aren’t involved with it, we could create more diversity and allow people to get more involved on campus,” Nelson said. “My plan for that is to have office hours on the mall and have town hall-style meetings.” Matt Lubisich is a current ASUA senator running for re-election. He said there is reason to take a look at campuswide diversity. “There are voices that are speaking out, specifically within the cultural centers. There’s definitely a reason why they’re speaking out,” Lubisich said. “As an ASUA senator, I feel it’s my responsibility to come to them and see what issues they have with the university and talk about it.” — Follow Nick Johnson @dailywildcat
Here are the shows to say hello, goodbye to on Netflix BY ALEC KUEHNLE The Daily Wildcat
March has begun, which means we’re officially in the heart of the semester. Exams, papers and midterms are here, making some of us want to scream and pull our hair out. If, however, you’re one of the lucky few with some time on your hands during this hustle and bustle period, then the multitude of brand new March offerings on Netflix is here for you. Even if school does have you at your wit’s end, take some time to chill out and watch some Netflix. After all, there is no better remedy for stress than some Netflix and chill. Television has become the focus of the streaming website, made clear with the absurd amount of shows that come to Netflix each month. Netflix streams both Netflix original shows and those belonging to other networks. It sometimes decides to add a movie here and there as well, but that’s just not what it is known for anymore. This television focus is evident in the new month, especially in terms of original programming. For the dramatic politicians... Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) returns to the White House on March 4 for a brand new season of the veteran Netflix original series “House of Cards.” Spacey stars in this darkly

brilliant and thrilling political drama about the rise of a house majority whip in Washington as he eventually takes over the presidency. Seasons one and two were extraordinary, but season three didn’t quite live up to expectations. Even at its lowest points, however, Spacey is brilliant as Underwood and his phenomenal Southern accent alone make the drama worth watching. Now, season four is here. Let’s hope it gets the show back on track with another great set of 13 episodes. Hopefully you’ve gotten your Spacey fix by March 18, because that’s when season two of another original series hits Netflix.
For the Marvel fans... “Marvel’s Daredevil” defied all expectations last year in its rookie season, providing a much darker and very welcome chapter to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Daredevil”stars Charlie Cox as blind lawyer Matt Murdock who moonlights as a crime-fighting vigilante. The team behind “Daredevil”keeps the show fresh, well-written and entertaining. Any superhero fans beginning to become slightly sick of the “Avengers”-type fare typically seen in the MCU need look no further. Just in case you’re not yet sold, the new season will also feature Jon Bernthal (“The Walking Dead”) as The Punisher.

“Groundhog Day,” “Scarface,” “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn,” “Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland”

“The Characters,” season one
For the “Arrested Development” nostalgia... Netflix never stops, as it churns out title after title. Surprisingly, most of it is of high quality. Let’s hope this commitment to quality extends to the new original series “Flaked,”premiering March 11. The comedy series stars Will Arnett as some sort of self-help guru. It reunites Arnett with producer Mitchell Hurwitz, the driving creative force behind veteran sitcom “Arrested Development.” Hopefully this show incorporates more of the quirky characters and unique storytelling that made “Arrested Development” so good. It should be worth a look. Television. Television. Television. That seems to be the Netflix mantra. How it is able to offer such a large amount of quality content at such a great price, we may never know. Regardless, now you’ve got three original T.V. seasons to enjoy for your binging pleasure. If you are able to breeze through all of that in a mere month’s time, you should seriously re-evaluate your study habits. But if you ultimately decide that Netflix and chill is more important than schoolwork, check out some of these other noteworthy Netflix additions. — Follow Alec Kuehnle @ThrowMeAnAllie

Easy and healthy recipes for you Here are some easy and healthy recipes you can add to your culinary resume. Pour yourself and your dinner guests a nice glass of wine and don’t be afraid to get creative. Happy cooking and bon appétit! BY HANNAH DJAVADI The Daily Wildcat
Baked Rosemary Broccoli Servings: 4 Here’s what you’ll need: • 4 whole heads of broccoli • 1 stalk rosemary • salt and pepper • 3 garlic cloves • 3 tablespoons olive oil Directions: This is the easiest, and yummiest, broccoli recipe ever. It can be a side dish for fish, steak, pasta or even eaten on its own. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash the broccoli and dry it completely. The key to success when it comes to preparing this recipe is making sure you cut the broccoli pieces very fine, because it absorbs the flavor better and creates a better texture. Once the broccoli is finely cut, put it in
Sweet Glazed Carrots Servings: 2 Here’s what you’ll need: • 1 1/2 cups carrots cut into small pieces • 1/3 cup butter • 1/2 cup soy sauce Directions: Before you begin, lightly steam the carrots so they are still under-cooked. Once the carrots are somewhat steamed, slice them into bite-sized pieces and put them to the side. Heat your stove to medium heat and
Garlic Butter Herbed Side Potatoes Servings: 2-3 Here’s what you’ll need: • 2 cups baby potatoes cut into small pieces (I use different kinds of potatoes, but you can stick to one kind if you prefer) • sea salt and pepper • 2 garlic cloves • 1 stalk rosemary • 4 tablespoons butter • 3 tablespoons olive oil Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash and chop the potatoes. Make sure they are not cut too fine, because they will burn, but don’t leave them
a big mixing bowl. (It may seem like there is too much broccoli, but it will become even smaller as you begin to bake it). Then, finely chop the garlic and rosemary. You can add more or less rosemary depending on your taste, but make sure they are both finely chopped. Add olive oil to the broccoli, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Make sure to put oil on the pan, or else it will burn, and nothing smells more terrible than burnt broccoli. Add the mixture to the pan so it is evenly dispersed and bake it for 30-45 minutes or until the broccoli becomes golden-brown and crispy. Every 5-10 minutes, take the pan out and move the broccoli around so it doesn’t burn. In general, when it comes to cooking, remember you can always add more ingredients, but you can’t take out ingredients. I suggest under salting at first, because broccoli absorbs oil and salt. If you over salt the broccoli, it will ruin the whole dish, which will definitely give you something to be salty about.
add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. If the heat is too high, the butter will burn. Once the butter melts, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the pan. You may want to add more butter or soy sauce depending on the mixture, but you’ll know the proportions are correct when the sauce is a golden-brown color. From there, continuously stir the sauce as the mixture turns into a glaze. Add the carrots and continue to mix until the carrots become a crisp, golden color. Make sure there is enough butter mixture so the carrots don’t dry out, but not too much mixture where the carrots cannot absorb the flavor.
too thick, or they’ll take five hours to cook. Once the potatoes are chopped, melt the butter (45 seconds in the microwave should do the trick) and put the potatoes in a mixing bowl. Finely chop the garlic and rosemary. Again, you can put more or less of a seasoning depending on your preference. Add the melted butter, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper to the bowl and stir them. Add olive oil to the pan. Put the potatoes in the pan so they are evenly dispersed and bake the potatoes for 45 minutes to an hour or until the potatoes are golden brown. Every 10 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and stir the potatoes around so they don’t burn.

Homemade Pasta Pomodoro Servings: 2 HANNAH DJAVADI/THE DAILY WILDCAT
HOMEMADE PASTA pomodoro, made by arts and life reporter Hannah Djavadi. Djavadi provided four recipes for college students to experiment with.
Here’s what you’ll need: • 2/3 Linguine pasta bag • 8 Roma tomatoes, or 6 heirloom tomatoes (you want to buy the tomatoes riper as opposed to just ripe or under-ripe because it makes the sauce sweeter). The type of tomato you use doesn’t change the flavor, it just has to do with different proportions. • 3 garlic cloves • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (do not use butter as a substitute in this recipe) • salt and pepper • 6 fresh Basil leaves either chopped or whole • Any additional vegetables or shrimp. When I make this recipe, I use Kalamata olives and broccoli, but these ingredients are optional. If you are using shrimp, make sure it is prepared with no tail. Directions: The first thing you want to do is cook the pasta (and make sure the pasta isn’t overcooked). Once the pasta is cooked, set it aside; you will be adding it to the sauce later. Wash and chop the tomatoes and garlic cloves thinly and do not discard any excess juice from the tomatoes. In a big pan, sprinkle olive oil and lightly sauté the garlic (do not put it on a high heat because once the garlic is burned, there is no turning back). Add the tomatoes, and any leftover tomato juice, and bring the heat to a low simmer. It’s important to consistently stir the tomatoes because they will burn and harden if you don’t. If the sauce is burned, you will either have to remake the sauce or maybe just order a pizza instead. After five minutes, you will start to see the tomatoes almost melt together in a sauce. If you do decide to use any other vegetables or shrimp, add them to the sauce at this point. Add salt and pepper accordingly and fresh basil as well. You can either chop it up finely or put in it whole. From there, take the pasta and slowly add it to the sauce. It is important to not put it all in the pan at once, but add some pasta incrementally and mix it around. Continue this process until all or almost all of the pasta is included. If you add too much pasta, the sauce will become dry. I’ve always had success using six heirloom tomatoes or eight Roma tomatoes, but feel free to experiment when it comes to this sauce because it is impossible for it not to taste good.

6 places to travel during spring break BY MICHAEL DECINDIS
change of pace from what we usually encounter in Tucson.
The Daily Wildcat
4
The spring break season is upon us and whether you decide to head home or head to a beach, the break is long enough for students to get creative with time away from studying. Taking advantage of well-earned time off can be rewarding in the midst of the semester. Despite this, couch lock often rears its ugly head halfway through these mid-semester breaks and students run out of fulfilling sources of recuperation. Some of the following ideas will hopefully help you figure out where to go or what to do this spring break season.
1
If you’re not looking to travel far over break, explore Tucson. Check out all of Tucson’s historic neighborhoods around the city. Nationally recognized architecture, some of the oldest neighborhoods in the Southwest and a little bit of imagination will help you reconnect with Tucson’s past. Some of the streets are named after a few of the most important figures in Tucson’s history. There are some interesting characters.
If you’re looking to do something out of the mainstream, pull up a map of the U.S. and look for eye-grabbing geographical regions. Make the trip out there and maybe you’ll find it was worth the price of not knowing exactly what you would find.
5
For those who are nature people or want to try camping, there are some beautiful campgrounds all over Arizona that range from the forests of Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. This doesn’t break the bank over the break either.
sydney richardson/The Daily Wildcat
The Grand Canyon on Nov. 20, 2015. The Grand Canyon is a great place for students to visit without having to travel too far if they want to get away from campus over spring break.
2
If you’re craving some beach time but don’t want the crowds that come along with it, check out the beaches between Monterey Bay and San Jose, California. You may have to do some hunting, but these beaches are not close to the populated cities of California.
3
For a more active spring break trip, there are some great places to snowboard in the states around Arizona like Utah or Colorado. Snow is hard to come by for Arizonans and snowboarding could be a cool
6
If you’re looking for a show, watch the Golden State Warriors in California. In the midst of a historic season, and perhaps the best basketball show in the NBA, it likely won’t disappoint.

Blanco’s bartender gets advice for drinks BY KELsey ropte The Daily Wildcat
In this week’s edition of “Hey, Barkeep!” Blanco Tacos and Tequila bartender Sierra Caley gave the Daily Wildcat the inside scoop on what it takes to be a bartender, her tricks behind the bar and her favorite drinks to make. The Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending? Sierra Caley: Two years. How did you decide that you wanted to bartend here at Blanco? I have been working at Blanco for about five years and I started serving here. I wanted to get away from like the whole university area and work in more of the upscale part of Tucson. They have a nice atmosphere. It wasn’t something that was super formal, to be able to be casual with guests and not being proper with people. What’s best thing about being a bartender? The money definitely is good, obviously, but the casual with the guests and being able to interact with them, really getting to know people when they sit here and get a drink and you get to chit chat with them. And you get to know a lot of people and honestly I have gotten a lot of advice. With the older people that come in, they want to give you all this life advice. I have learned so much.
What is your favorite drink to make? Oaxacan Shandy or Martinis. Do you have any memorable customers? Yeah, several actually. A lot are my regulars and then there are the few that I don’t really know personally too well but ... they will sit at the bar and make out the entire time and just like in your face. Or like rude people, but definitely the regulars that come in during lunch hours. At night it’s not too frequent that we get many regulars.
, y e H keep! Bar
How do you handle the stress of being a bartender? Drinking. Just kidding. I don’t know, as soon as I am done I just sit for an hour and ... not do anything. I go to the gym when I’m not here, that helps. Basically, [I] do anything non-bar related to help me distress, but other than that, it’s not really too crazy back here. Is there a certain strategy you use to make your drinks as fast as possible? Always making sure you’re using both hands when doing something instead of just pouring with one. You’re always trying to think two steps ahead. You get a little OCD back here because you want everything in its certain space, that way you don’t have to look and you’re just flinging things around, making sure things are right where they need to be.
Blanco
Sierra Caley tom price/The Daily Wildcat
What do you think this bar gives that sets it apart from other bars? Probably the hospitality that we give. Always trying to go over the top for people. Definitely the use of fresh ingredients, like every day we juice. Every morning we juice cases of limes, grapefruit juice and orange juice. The time we put into making the drinks shows
the difference. ... If anyone wants something obscure we will, like, run to the store and make it for them if they are really adamant about it. We just go over the top. — Follow Kelsey Ropte @kelseyropte

Gender studies majors connect community BY VICTORIA PEREIRA The Daily Wildcat
What is gender? How does the gender one is assigned at birth affect his or her life? How has gender and sexuality played a role throughout history and in society today? These are just a handful of the big questions that students in the UA Department of Gender and Women’s Studies endeavor to answer. The department is one of the most interdisciplinary on the campus. Professors come from all types of backgrounds and bring varying perspectives that give students a wellrounded view of gender and sexuality in the context of human rights, social justice and political issues. “I believe that we need to look at gender and sexuality and their constructions to understand the world surrounding us,” said Jadwiga Pieper Mooney, head of the gender and women’s studies department. “I am a historian, but I am a gender historian also, who takes seriously that gender is a useful category of analysis and is a methodological tool that is indispensable.” As a historian, Pieper Mooney specializes in Latin American studies and uses the analytical lenses of gender and sexuality to learn about and teach the history of this area. She has written about the violations of women’s rights in forced sterilization campaigns in Peru and
ARIZONA
North Carolina, and in Chilean society. While Pieper Mooney’s focus is on women’s rights violations, every student and faculty member in the department specializes in their own interest and brings a new perspective. Harrison Apple, a graduate student in gender and women’s studies, is focusing his research efforts on the queer community of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While working on his bachelor’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University, Apple became interested in the history of the underground queer society of Pittsburgh between the 1950s and the 1980s. “I began an oral history and media archive project about gay and lesbian social classes and underground discos and bars,” Apple said. Apple is working to create a more complete case study of his research through his graduate program at the UA and enjoys taking classes that allow him to think about his findings from different perspectives. “It’s one of those majors that really helps people understand how it is that they learn and what they have learned and ways that it guides our thought,” Apple said. “It’s an amazing major for understanding how knowledge production happens.” Because of its universality and applicability to many different fields, gender and women’s studies majors are able to follow a number
of paths after graduation. Some, like Apple and Pieper Mooney, decide to remain in the academic part of the field and pursue master’s degrees, teach other students or continue their research. Those who begin careers after completing their undergraduate degrees go into everything from the legal system to health care. Double majoring in gender and women’s studies along with other majors is common and encouraged. Gender and sexuality is ever present in our world and a background in the field can be applied to practically any sort of career or situation. The gender and women’s studies major has also been building up a transgender studies program and is continuing to develop it for students who are interested in exploring the intricate and interesting history of the transgender community. Educating the community is another large component of the gender and women’s studies department mission. “We are trying to connect, especially the transgender initiative, to active community learning where we build connections, not only to community groups, but also to business interests, health interests, legal interests,” Mooney said. The department has a strong connection to many local organizations, the efforts of which

Humans won’t go past the moon with private space travel BY APOORVA BHASKARA The Daily Wildcat
T
he excitement of the space race in the 1960s and 1970s led to astronomical advancements in technology that allowed humanity to send people to the moon for the first time. NASA led space exploration in the U.S. for almost 60 years, but with new, low government budgets, many wonder if the task would be better left to the private sector. While private companies do have the potential to fund certain projects involving space travel, space exploration is simply too large a feat for any corporation to take on. The terms space travel and space exploration are often used interchangeably, but they are not synonymous. While space travel can refer to any journey outside the earth’s atmosphere, space exploration is about pushing boundaries and expanding our knowledge of the universe. Many private companies already have satellites and use them for everything from navigation to weather forecasting.
The private sector has played a larger role in space travel in the past few years with companies planning missions to send supplies and satellites into space. NASA has been working with a private space company, SpaceX, to send supplies to the International Space Station. SpaceX was recently given five more cargo missions from NASA to deliver supplies to the ISS in the next few years. Virgin Galactic is another major factor. It is trying to make a business out of space travel. Virgin Galactic’s craft, SpaceShipTwo, is designed to one day take civilian tourists into space. These companies could leave the atmosphere and maybe even reach the moon, but should these corporations become the pioneers of the final frontier? Private companies are driven by shortterm goals with foreseeable profits. Space travel is a risky business that investors are hesitant to put their money into. Those that do are more inclined to support wellresearched technologies and previously attempted missions, such as ferrying supplies and making short trips outside the atmosphere. While they may have the money, these businesses do not have the motivation to explore space beyond what mankind has already achieved.
Former space shuttle astronaut Charles D. Walker, who currently resides in Tucson, recently wrote a piece in the Arizona Daily Star defending government-run space exploration. “Only a nation can marshal the long-term funding and pioneering vision needed to ‘boldly go where no one has gone before,’” Walker wrote. “In fact, nearly every great exploration in history has been governmentfunded or guaranteed, from Magellan’s trip around the globe to the Lewis and Clark expedition. NASA’s own history reads as an improbable list of ‘firsts.’” NASA recently accepted applications for new astronauts and received the largest turnout ever, with over 18,300 applicants applying for just fourteen coveted positions. Some of these new astronauts may even be chosen for a mission to Mars in the early 2030s. These are the men and women who will explore space and go where no man has gone before. It’s expected that it will take around two decades for NASA to launch a Mars mission. Getting to Mars would take eight to 10 months and the astronauts would have to stay on the foreign planet for about two years until the planets were aligned in such a way that the return trip would be possible.

SpaceX has claimed it will send colonists to Mars before NASA, but with such a large time frame, high margin for failure and few immediate profits, the chances of follow through are little to none. “We should not be content to do what we’ve done since the 1960s, only a little cheaper—or to stake our most important space-exploration goal on the whims of the market,” Walker wrote. Going to Mars is essential to our future as a species. There may come a day when Earth is no longer inhabitable. Pollution,
nuclear holocaust or even a large asteroid could wipe out our home planet. We like to consider ourselves much different from the dinosaurs, but if we don’t figure out interplanetary travel soon, our species may face a similar extinction. Private companies cannot be expected to operate with long-term thought processes and will not spend money on risky exploration projects. Corporations may take some of the small steps for man, but we still need organizations like NASA to take the giants leaps for mankind.

As March Madness looms, UA still has chance to make a statement BY Ezra amacher The Daily Wildcat
After Arizona men’s basketball fell to Utah 70-64 Saturday, Arizona head coach Sean Miller delivered a plain assessment. “We’re not a great team,” Miller said. Few would argue with Miller, especially with the Wildcats coming off a pair of close losses to the Rocky Mountain schools. Arizona now stands at 22-7 overall with a 10-6 record in Pac-12 Conference play. According to the latest NCAA Tournament projections, the Wildcats are slated for a five or six seed, depending on the diagnosis of your go-to bracketologist. With only two games remaining on the regular season schedule—a pair of home matchups against the underachieving California and Stanford—the Wildcats don’t have much of a chance to bolster their postseason resume before competing in the Pac-12 Tournament. Even if Arizona was to win the conference tournament, it still wouldn’t do much to budge the Wildcat’s tournament seeding. Not with an RPI in the 20s and a strength of schedule in the mid-80s. So that part is settled. This Wildcats won’t be in contention for a top national seed, nor will they be the office pool favorite to reach the Final Four. But in this college basketball season of chaos, does it take a great team to potentially make a deep run in the Big Dance? Probably not.
Just this past weekend, 10 top-25 teams lost, with five of those losses coming against non-ranked opponents. Duke, Maryland, Oklahoma, Iowa and Kentucky were just some of the victims. When No. 5 Xavier fell to Seton Hall on Sunday, it ensured that every major conference team would enter March with at least four losses. According to ESPN Stats and Info, since the NCAA Tournament began seeding in 1979, only twice have all four top seeds had four losses. This isn’t a normal year. Amid all the parity, it’s not unreasonable to think Arizona can carve a hole in its region and make it to the second weekend of the tournament, if not farther. Despite seven losses, the Wildcats were competitive in each of those defeats. Most recently, Arizona found itself in striking distance against Colorado and Utah before folding in the final minute. A key turnover and missed 3-pointer haunted the Wildcats in their loss to Colorado. Against Utah, Arizona could not come up with a key rebound in the final minute, leading to a dagger 3-pointer by the Utes’ Brandon Taylor. “We have the ability to be right there, especially on an away court,” Miller said after the Utah loss. “You have to make a play.” In March, those plays separate who advances and who goes home. While Arizona cannot overcome some of its deficiencies, if the Wildcats can put themselves in a position to win down the stretch, it might be that it takes this year to catch a hot streak in March. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher

Defense and fundamentals the main focus points for Arizona spring football BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
Arizona football is still adjusting to the fundamentals and basic drills included with the spring football package. Like always, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez refused to release any information in regard to injuries or anyone who’s climbing the depth chart. According to Rodriguez, there isn’t a depth chart and Arizona football will be under wraps until September. Rodriguez and company may have a few tricks up their sleeves, which may not be on the offensive side of the ball. Defense was a focus over the weekend. Let’s dive into the progress of the return of Desert Swarm defense. Starting with the basics The goals for Arizona this offseason are to focus on the basics that they couldn’t accomplish last season because, after all, the Wildcats were ranked No. 113 in the country in total defense. Safeties coach Jahmile Addae is going head-on into his first year coaching defensive. His previous work with the program was in the film room as a defensive analyst. Being a former player of Rodriguez’s at West Virginia Univesrity, his intensity has shown, but the goal is still to teach the ball hawks the basics of coverage sets and how certain defensive sets function. “What we’re trying to do again is take our personalities and me, personally, I’m more of an up-tempo-energy type of guy and I hope it will rub off on my room,” Addae said. “In terms of the technique, we’re going to work that. We’re going to work the basics, we’re going to work the fundamentals.” Mystery behind the middle linebackers First year defensive coordinator Marcel Yates will have his hands full when it comes to choosing which players are going to be

the two who fill the middle set in the 4-2-5 defense. Fortunately for Rodriguez, he gives Yates options to choose from. “[There’s] Carrington Vaughn, who’s really a promising freshman walk-on, who can really play inside and outside, … Cody [Ippolitto], Jamadre Cobb, … Marquis Ware, … John Kenny, Matt Stagg,” Rodriguez said. “There’s a whole host of guys. I don’t even know what a depth chart is or position chart is.” Rodriguez didn’t even mention returning linebacker Derrick Turituri, who is still
reportedly dealing with injury. The linebacker duo will be a work in progress, but it may be worth it for the new defense. Breaking old habits Changing positions isn’t a task that can be done overnight. Going into last season, cornerback DaVonte’ Neal made the transition from wide receiver to defensive back and said the only issue was changing the footwork from “running forward to running backward.” But it’s more difficult to switch sides of the
ball rather than position. Jarvis McCall Jr. is transitioning from cornerback to safety and now, rather than hoping for help, he’s the good neighbor providing the insurance. “When I played corner, I used to wait on the safety like ‘OK what am I supposed to do?’” McCall said. “Like, I’m counting on him and now he’s counting on me, so it’s vice versa.” Arizona’s spring practice is Friday, March 4 at 6 p.m. and will be open to the public. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

played at Mater Dei High School, it was clear that he was a superior athlete. “In high school, I was able to get to the rim with ease,” Johnson said. “When I got to Arizona, it was different, especially in the NBA. I had to develop a mid-range game.” Because of Johnson’s foundation at Arizona, he was able to improve his game and earn playing time. The beginning of development in Tucson came from Arizona head coach Sean Miller’s coaching style, which helped Johnson learn how to quickly adjust to the NBA. Miller concentrated on having players get better every day. “Even though I was already a talented player, he challenged me to get better every day, despite my short time in Tucson,” Johnson said. The physical development came quickly during the one season Johnson was at the UA. The mental development also helped him. Miller taught him how to do things correctly and efficiently, even on a bad day. “There is no intro to the NBA,” Johnson said. “There is no walkthrough. You either know it or you don’t. And if you don’t, you don’t play. Sometimes my job becomes like a template: city, hotel, leave, go
Sports • February 29-March 1, 2016 home and over again. You have to change your mindset to grind it out and also make it fun.” Any type of athlete who advances to the next level of his or her sport may experience the difficulty of not playing, not starting, lacking the knowledge of the game or lacking speed or physical ability. These aspects, however, can all be obtained with sacrifice and dedication to the particular sport. “I play because I wake up and think about basketball,” Johnson said. “I want to play, regardless of if I get paid or not. It’s like a love and compassion for basketball. I know I have a burning passion for it.” Johnson has a passion for basketball and he doesn’t think twice about the sacrifices he makes to play. “I think about going in and getting better, to be the best that I can be. I want to make the Pistons fans proud,” Johnson said. “I came into the league with an open mind.” Halfway through the NBA season, Johnson’s open mind helped him set new goals for next season, such as being a better shooter, making better decisions, being a reliable player in the league and being able to make a major stride in his game. Johnson plays for more than just himself. Johnson’s mother, Karen Taylor, who was inducted into Jackson State University’s Hall of
Fame in 2009, died in summer 2015. The imprint that Johnson’s mother left for him gives him another purpose to play. “She taught me how to play the game,” Johnson said. “I strive to know that going to work, I go with a purpose. It’s bigger than just today or tomorrow. ... Everybody can’t be on an all-time greatest list, so when I work at basketball, it’s like working extra to be one of the greatest to ever do it.” After Johnson’s mother’s death, the NBA rookie showed only strength through the process. After his first year at Arizona, he was a top 10 draft pick. The Pistons are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference standings. Johnson averages 23.9 minutes and nine points per game. “Nothing compares to the league,” Johnson said. “You are always with the best players in the world. You play against the best players in the world.” Though Johnson had the time of his life at Arizona, the NBA is also something special for him. “Arizona was for me,” Johnson said. “I picked to go to Arizona and I had the time of my life. Regardless of who the coach or staff is, I am always going to be connected to Arizona. It’s family.”
