ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS

Budget, academics on agenda

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona Board of Regents will be holding its Annual Operational and Financial Review meeting at the Student Union Memorial Center today.

Meetings began Wednesday and will continue today, allowing UA leaders to present on operations, performance and

finances in order to help the board plan tuition and other budget settings.

UA President Ann Weaver Hart and other senior officials will be updating the board of regents on progress made on Never Settle, the UA’s academic and strategic business plan, since it was first introduced last December, according to Chris Sigurdson, vice president of communications for University Relations at the UA.

During the meeting’s call to audience an organizing committee for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences said it hopes to communicate with officials regarding the proposed budget that Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey introduced in January.

“In light of recent budget cuts, a lot of us are going to take this opportunity to respond

The fledgling club funded last month’s trip out-of-pocket while having no coach and lacking the legitimacy of a debate team, so Spooner said he was anticipating nothing but defeat.

“We really expected to go up there and get absolutely murdered,” Spooner said. “But every single judge that saw us voted for us.”

The Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee held a meeting on Wednesday that focused on expanding the UA’s relations with other schools and international organizations.

The committee is doing a series of presentations surrounding three key qualities that members agreed represent the university — sustainability, diversity and global initiatives.

This committee was established to share collective wisdom and make good decisions working as an advisory role to administration, according to Mika Galilee-Belfer, co-chair of SPBAC. A collective group was formed that is a broad representation of all components of the UA, including faculty from various departments, administration and student leaders, like Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Issac Ortega and Graduate and Professional Student Council President Zachary Brooks.

ASUA approves funding for safety fair

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

On Wednesday, the ASUA Senate approved funds for the Student Health Advisory Committees’ 8th annual Spring Break Safety Fair in March.

SHAC requested $1,000 last meeting to make up for the loss of the event’s typical sponsor.

Associated Students of the University of Arizona board members asked Sona Shahbazian, SHAC member and head of the safety programming committee, questions during the open discussion relating to the request.

ASUA Sen. Joey Steigerwald asked where SHAC looked for funding and if it received any.

Shahbazian replied that no funding had been received from Campus Health Service, the Residence Hall Association or the University of Arizona Police

Department.

“Have you guys paid for anything up front or if you’ve already booked stuff that now you can’t [pay for]?” Steigerwald asked.

Shahbazian told Steigerwald that nothing had been purchased as of that moment, but that SHAC is authorized to purchase promotional items. Furthermore, it has yet to purchase T-shirts.

Shahbazian added that SHAC had put in the Facilities Management request and is going to be getting a tent from PRO EM and will be receiving a quote from it soon.

ASUA Sen. Josh Wexler asked Shahbazian whether vendors will be giving promotional materials to attendees. Shahbazian replied that while some of the vendors will be giving out little things like samples of sunscreen, or the UAPD which will be handing out bike helmet lights, nothing will

get all of those perspectives into one room,” Galilee-Belfer said.

Mike Proctor, vice president of Global Initiatives, gave a presentation on the current relationships UA has around the world and how to maintain them.

Proctor began by explaining the significance of the history of the UA and how before it was founded, Tucson was the least hospitable environment for a university, but since then has connected with many institutions around the world, perhaps making it the most relevant and connected university in the world.

“We’re trying to build in our relationships globally with the next generation, and in that process there [were] a lot of new relationships created,” Proctor said.

He specifically mentioned the relationship created with Brazil in the 1960s after the United States Agency for International Development selected the UA to develop agricultural capacity in the city of Ceará, Brazil.

As a result of the collaboration, the Instituto de Inovação Internacional do Ceará was formed.

The current mayor of the city of Fortaleza is UA alumnus — Roberto Claudio, who received a master’s in Public Health in 2002 and a doctorate in epidemiology in 2006. Proctor said this is a direct example of how the region was influenced beyond an agricultural relationship.

“The university is not a university if it doesn’t connect to different cultures and societies,” Proctor said. “The risk of losing the Arizona legacy abroad is heightened with each passing month.”

Ducey proposed a $75 million cut in funding to higher education, which would mean about a $22 million cut to the UA. The budget is so far only a proposal and has not yet been approved by the legislature, but Ducey did have support from the Senate and House at the State of the State address where he introduced the budget.

Andrew Comrie, provost of the UA, said that if the cuts made were in line with those proposed, it would be ideal to take those cuts and rather than freeze everything, see if the UA can make some type of investment while assessing the budget cuts.

This was proposed, Comrie said, for the same reason that the UA told Ducey to refrain from investing in higher education.

“We should walk that talk and keep investing,” Comrie said at the meeting for the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory

Karaman said he hopes the board gives students and faculty transparency in the decisionmaking process when it comes to the budget, because proposed cuts will likely have a significant effect on the quality of life of employees and students.

The agenda for the meeting only gives 15 minutes for the call to audience, and Karaman said he expects at least a few dozen people comprised of faculty, students and committee members to attend the meeting to give their suggestions on a better approach to higher education funding.

“There’s a lot of people who want to have their voices heard and have input to better higher education in Arizona,” Karaman said. “We are excited and curious to hear how [the board] feels.”

Wickizer, Speech and Debate Club president, said he was excited but stressed out when heading to the invitational. Wickizer explained he felt unprepared and ill-equipped to compete against 30-member teams within their junior varsity division.

But utilizing the experience the students acquired together at Salpointe Catholic High School and the UA afforded them their landslide victory, he said.

“We used the skills we learned in high school and the skills that we’ve been practicing since we got to college,” Wickizer said, “and we were able to do a clean sweep of the JV league.”

Wickizer said anticipating the results of their final round was quite the nail-biter. When considering Sacramento State’s skillful team and the UA’s underdog ranking, the win came with feelings of satisfaction and elation, he said.

The club is set to meet tomorrow at 6 p.m. in the Main Library, Room A105, to kick off its weekly casual debate program, which is a noncompetitive open house forum for all UA students interested in practicing basic debate skills.

According to Spooner, the club’s focal practice will be policy debate, which is when teams of two hypothetically advocate for or against a change in U.S. policy.

The amount of research involved in debate club membership is astronomical, but it is one of the best educational opportunities that students can have, he added.

Spooner said this semester he is looking forward to bolstering club membership and potentially competing against Sacramento State from March 6-8.

He said the club left such a prepossessing impact on Sacramento State, it offered to pay for a portion of the competition fees for the UA outfit.

For Wickizer, involvement in public debate is inherently important, so he is attempting to set a solid foundation for the Speech and Debate Club, he said.

Wickizer said any Speech and Debate Club member will sharpen their communication skills necessary for job interviews and can potentially foster their ability to make positive life choices.

“It teaches you how to take a very firm stance on both sides of the issue and think biologically,” he said, “and that allows people to make better decisions.”

Wickizer said that hopefully, the UA will endorse the club so its members can afford to travel and compete nationally, although basic beginnings rooted in education and personal enjoyment will suffice.

“The momentary goal is to start small, get people involved, teach people about debate and have a good time,” Wickizer said.

Eller students relieve stress of taxes

BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat

There will be a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site on campus at the Eller College of Management, hosted by United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, the Eller College and the University of Arizona Accounting Student Association, on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through April 11, excluding Feb. 21.

Reid Lunceford, president of UAASA, said he knows how difficult it is to do your own taxes.

“There are so many complex rules, and it’s so easy to mess something up,” Lunceford said. “I think people are busy, so it’s best to leave it to the professionals. VITA is by far the most well-known tax preparer for lowincome individuals.”

Ken Briggs, senior director of community development for United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, said there will be people at McClelland Hall to directly assist UA students and employees with tax preparation. Briggs said the VITA program is sponsored by the IRS and is all over the country.

“They’ll go through kind of an interview,” Briggs said. “We’ll fill out the forms together and make sure we get it right.”

Shahbazian added that, regardless of the cost of the shirts, the extra money was still needed as the event was budgeted at $3,000.

“You’ve reached out to other organizations for funding requests as well, so if you do end with a surplus, what would be done with that money?” ASUA Sen. Jack Emery asked.

“I think it will be fantastic for the university,” McLaughlin said. “VITA has pretty much always been for the general low-income population of Tucson, but they’ve never directly reached out to the community that is on campus, so it will be a great resource for those who are looking for free tax help.”

A third option Briggs explained was free online tax preparation softwares.

“It’s like any other tax software that you actually end up paying for, but this is free because you are under the income limit,” Briggs said.

Jesse Lee, a pre-business sophomore and student accountant at the UA Bookstore accounting department, said he thinks the program will be beneficial because he knows a lot of people who are either intimidated by or don’t know how to do their taxes.

“Free online tax softwares can be really helpful for students who would rather punch in numbers on the computer than fill out tax forms and figure out where to send them,” Lee said.

Autism not bad, unlike measles

BY ASHWIN MEHRA The Daily Wildcat

N

ow that it’s the 21st century and people have forgotten how horrible diseases like the measles were, the anti-vaccine movement is working to bring those diseases back — but that doesn’t mean they should simply be allowed to do so.

In 1998, a now-discredited study by Andrew Wakefield claimed that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine was directly linked to autism in children. The study kicked off the rise of the anti-vaccine movement, or anti-vaxxers.

In 2000, measles was officially eliminated from the U.S., yet in 2014, there were 644 documented cases of the disease from 27 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The reason is twofold: Not every other country has eliminated the disease, so a few cases enter the U.S. each year, and the number of people who are not getting vaccinated is increasing, making it easier for those cases to spread. This process is enabled by the fact that the federal government doesn’t require vaccinations.

Instead, individual states are allowed to make their own policies regarding vaccination. While all states require public school students to be vaccinated, many states allow for religious or personal exemptions. The anti-vaccine movement, especially in California, takes advantage of these to not vaccinate their children.

This wouldn’t be a problem if everyone else was vaccinated. As it turns out, however, everyone else can’t be vaccinated. Medical exemptions are given for children who may be allergic to the vaccine or have cancer or other immunological conditions. In addition, children less than a year old can’t receive the vaccine, and some people fail to develop lasting protection.

This means that choosing not to get vaccinated is not just a personal issue — it’s also a public health issue that the government needs to take care of.

Vaccines can’t be truly successful unless everyone is vaccinated so diseases don’t get a chance to spread. When parents choose not to get their kids vaccinated because Jenny McCarthy told them their kids will get autism, they are not only endangering their kids but also large swathes of innocent people and children.

One solution is to end personal vaccination exemptions from public schools.

Schools sometimes ban nuts to protect students with nut allergies, and banning unvaccinated students who can medically be vaccinated is no different. Those students pose a public health risk, and the rest of the school shouldn’t have to pay.

In fact, according to The Washington Post, Mississippi and West Virgina already only allow medical exemptions to vaccine requirements. Both states have had no outbreaks in the last seven years, unlike the rest of the country are increasing.

Some, like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, attest that government must find a middle ground between a parent’s right to choose to vaccinate and the public health. This isn’t legally true, though. In the 1944 Supreme Court case Prince v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court said religious freedom “does not include liberty to expose the community or the child to communicable disease or the latter to ill health or death,” and this decision has been upheld in recent years.

The federal government is in charge of protecting the public health and has the legal power to do so. There is no compelling reason not to do so, except to expose innocent people and children to diseases that can be easily prevented.

Mandating vaccines, though, wouldn’t attack the underlying notion of the antivaccine movement: that it is better for a child to contract a disease that could potentially kill them than be autistic. In an article titled “Vaccine Critics Turn Defensive Over Measles” in The New York Times, one antivaxxer mother asked, “Do you want to wake up one morning and the light is gone from her eyes with autism or something?”

To be clear, no vaccine can cause autism.

But as long as that lie continues to circulate, the only real way to kill the anti-vaccine movement is to spread education and awareness about autism, which does not make someone less human or take the “light” from their eyes. Though more difficult than simply ending personal exemptions, this should be the goal of any movement against the anti-vaccine movement: not just to increase vaccination rates, but to destroy the assumption that autism is worse than vaccine-preventable diseases.

When parents choose to not vaccinate their children, that isn’t the problem itself — it’s only the result of the problem. The problem is a lack of medical awareness about both vaccines and autism, a problem that the government can start to solve with coordinated public health campaigns.

Ending personal exemptions is a good step, but let’s not focus on the symptoms and ignore the disease entirely.

All in a name-change policy

BY JACQUELYN OESTERBLAD The Daily Wildcat

M

y very first college course was at 9 a.m. on a Wednesday. It was a huge lecture section, and the professor took attendance by passing the roster around the room for signatures.

I vividly remember the student next to me flipping the pages, finding a name and proceeding to cross it out and write a new one before signing. I watched my classmate do this for more than a week before, one day, the roster that was passed around included the right name.

The class was LGBTQ Studies, and I assume one of the teaching assistants finally noticed the problem. I spent years wondering how that student was forced to handle similar situations in other courses — economics, biology, French.

That question got a lot easier to answer at the beginning of this semester.

The UA instituted new guidelines for chosen or preferred names this January.

Now, students who wish to be known by something other than their legal name on their CatCard, in the phonebook, through their CatMail, on their diploma and on UAccess and D2L can make the change, privately and online, in just a few minutes. They can also pick and choose among those options in the way that makes them feel most safe.

For those of us who are, more or less, comfortable with our given names, a policy like this can seem trivial. But for transgender and gendernonconforming students, this is about more than preferring Beth to Liz. Transgender and gendernonconforming people are extremely vulnerable — they are four times as likely to be homeless, 31 percent have been abused or harassed by a classroom teacher, over 50 percent will experience sexual violence during their lives and some reports estimate that as

many as 38 percent have been victimized by law enforcement.

The wrong name on a roster can accidentally “out” a student and make them feel uncomfortable and create an unsafe learning environment. The wrong name on a photo ID like the CatCard can expose students to violence and harassment. In this way, names really do matter.

Transgender and gendernonconforming folks are also at an elevated suicide risk — a comprehensive 2011 survey of 6,450 transgender participants found that 41 percent had attempted suicide, compared to the national average of 1.6 percent. According to recent research done by the Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth and Families here on campus, “The greater number of contexts in which transgender youth can use their preferred name, the less depression and … the safer they feel at school.”

If the ability to change one’s name online is trivial to the rest

The wrong name on a roster can accidentally “out” a student

of us, there’s no real reason to disallow it. And if that policy change can make even one student’s university experience a little bit better, there’s every reason to make it happen.

The new preferred name policy is a common-sense way of saving lives and making sure all students feel safe and welcome on campus, and the UA should be commended for taking this step. I wish the policy had come sooner — NAU has had its preferred name policy since at least last year, and some public universities had simple, online methods of changing names as early as 2009 — but late is always better than never. So kudos to the administration and to the many student and faculty activists who have been advocating for this policy over the past several years.

I still see that freshman-year classmate on campus from time to time, and I think of them when I say that I know at least one person whose life just got a lot easier.

A Muslim won’t kill Jesus

BY JESSICA TERRONES The Daily Wildcat

N

ational Geographic Channel recently sparked controversy when it announced that a Muslim-raised actor, Haaz Sleiman, was being cast to play the role of Jesus Christ in an upcoming mini-series titled “Killing Jesus,” an adaptation of the book

by Bill O’Reilly.

National Geographic is billing the series as a new perspective on “the political, social and historical conflicts of [Jesus’] time, … which have sometimes been downplayed.”

Because Sleiman, as a Muslim, believes Jesus was a prophet but does not agree that he was the son of God, there has been some controversy among conservative Christians about his ability to faithfully execute the role.

“This is one of the most powerful and inspiring stories ever told,” Sleiman said, responding to critics in an interview at the Television Critics Association Press Tour “I’m honored and humbled to be given this gift.”

When asked how he reacted when he was first cast, Sleiman answered, “I called my mother, who said, … ‘bless you for playing Jesus, peace be upon him.’”

Sleiman also argued that if Jesus were still around, he wouldn’t judge him for taking on the role.

“I cannot speak for Jesus, but I can quote his

teachings, and he said, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself,’” Sleiman said. “… How would he react to me playing Jesus? He wouldn’t judge it.”

An actor is an actor and should be able to play any role he desires. It is unfortunate that Sleiman is being ridiculed for his religion and his race by certain conservative Christians.

What’s particularly ironic is that, if anything, conservative Muslims have the foremost right to be outraged by Sleiman’s actions.

“The Muslim religious teachings are unequivocally against portraying any prophets and their very close disciples,” said Kamel Didan, vice chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Islamic Center of Tucson. “Our belief [is] that prophets are infallible and portraying them takes from their reverence, especially when one considers the sort of life most actors carry. … Our faith is against idolizing anyone, and portraying a person is a form of idolizing.”

In fact, Didan argued, Sleiman’s decision to portray Jesus on film is similar to the decision of some cartoonists to draw depictions of the Prophet Muhammad.

“Jesus has a very special place in our faith and he is [as] revered as our Prophet Muhammad,” Didan said. “As such, we are equally offended when anyone tries to portray him.”

Still, it is the controversy from Christians, not Muslims, that has forced the National Geographic Channel to defend its casting decision.

“We hired the best actor for all the roles,” National Geographic Channel’s spokesman Christopher Albert told Breitbart News. “That was our one and only criteria for casting this

movie. … We, of course, don’t ask anyone what their religion or any other affiliation is when they audition for a part and certainly don’t discriminate based on religion or anything else.”

National Geographic shouldn’t have to defend its decision to cast an actor — any actor — in a nonfiction, secular film.

“What if a Quaker, Unitarian or even a Mormon played Jesus?” said Konden Smith, a religious studies professor. “Would that be acceptable? Jesus was neither a Christian nor a Muslim; he was a Jew. Perhaps only Jews should play the role of Jesus?”

Smith’s colleague and religious studies professor Julian Kunnie was similarly confused about the controversy.

“The furor again reflects the unwarranted bias against Islam propagated by parochial religious adherents in U.S. society,” Kunnie said. “Prejudice against Muslims certainly is out of step with Jesus’ teachings on love and engagement with diverse peoples.”

Which brings us back to Sleiman’s quote from the Gospel of Mark. If Muslims, whose religious tenets are being violated by this casting decision as much as, if not more than, Christians, can accept it and move on, why do certain elements of the right wing find this so difficult to handle?

Perhaps they should instead start imitating Jesus by loving their Muslim neighbors as themselves.

POLICE BEAT

BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

Well, he’s screwed

A non-UA affiliated individual was arrested on charges of driving under the influence on Jan. 27.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was stopped at a red light on Campbell Avenue and Grant Road when he observed a SUV make a wide left turn onto Campbell Avenue, crossing the centerline of the two northbound lanes.

The vehicle drove in both lanes for approximately 200 feet. The vehicle later failed to maintain its lane south of Prince Road. The officer activated his emergency lights and stopped the vehicle.

The officer approached the driver and asked if he had been drinking. The driver, who had watery, bloodshot eyes, said he had just been to a bar. He had a flushed face and there was an odor of intoxicants coming from the passenger side compartment.

The officer had the driver take a walk and turn test, oneleg stand test and a horizontal gaze nystagmus test, which was conducted by another officer. Each test indicated the individual was impaired. The driver was read his Miranda rights and questions from a DUI worksheet to provide answers for.

He admitted to drinking three screwdrivers at Venture-N and that he had his last drink approximately 10 minutes prior.

The individual was transported to the UAPD station.

Hate waking up early for class?

Lights Out

A UAPD officer noticed there was damage to an electrical power breaker box on the south side of 1046 E. Drachman St. on Jan. 27.

The officer contacted a Facilities Management employee on the phone to ask whether there was electrical work being done on the property. The employee said there wasn’t.

The officer radioed for backup to clear the property before processing and assessing the damage further due to recent criminal activity around the property.

The breaker box was opened with the face plate bent, and approximately 11 cables in the breakers were cut and a dual switch breaker and 12-inch wire were left on the ground. The cuts were fairly recent due to a lack of oxidation on the copper wire along with the un-weathered condition of the wire insulation and the electrical tape wrapped around it.

There were also four cables hanging from the roof south of the breaker box that appeared to not have been cut recently, but it was undetermined whether they were related to the breaker box damage.

The officer met with the employee at 6:05 p.m. and was told there was no electrical power in the building and the breaker box was not “live.”

Photos of the damage were submitted as evidence, and victim’s rights were generated and mailed to UA Risk Management Services.

Helmet effectiveness questioned

BY LAETH GEORGE The Daily Wildcat

Biking is a common method for both recreation and transportation in the U.S., Tucson in particular, and helmets are the standard for protecting bikers’ heads from injury. However, research done by trauma surgeons at the UA shows that helmets might not have the protective power they are believed to confer to bikers.

Dr. Bellal Joseph, a trauma surgeon at the University of Arizona Medical Center and an associate professor of surgery, recently published a paper analyzing the level of protection a bicycle helmet offers its wearer in the event of an accident.

“We showed that [the helmet] does protect you against the scrapes, scratches or bruises from a fall, but they make no significant difference for bleeds inside your head,” Joseph said.

The study, published in the European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, analyzed 709 patients over a four-year span between 2009 and 2012. The study included 300 patients who were wearing a helmet at the time of injury and 409 who were not.

While the results may be surprising to some, Joseph said he believes this is a result of ineffective helmet design.

“Just to be clear, we think helmets make a difference,” Joseph said.

However, Joseph said it won’t make a big difference when it comes to internal bleeding.

“It’s a good finding that we know for a fact that these helmets can protect against these minor injuries and scratches to the head,” said Dr. Bardiya Zangbar, an international research fellow in the Division of Trauma, Critical Care, Burn and Emergency Surgery at UAMC. “It’s better to see if there is a way to prevent

something, to protect against intracranial hemorrhage, which seriously affect patients’ outcomes.”

One of the goals of the trauma team at the UA is to promote its research to educate the public and effect change.

“People in the U.S. are more aware of the threat that come out of these injuries, and one of the reason is the community — the trauma community, the medical community — they focus on these issues and publish literature that tells people about these injuries,” said Dr. Mazhar Khalil, also an international research fellow in the Division of Trauma, Critical Care, Burn and Emergency Surgery at the UAMC. With this study out in the public view, Joseph said he believes it should help different parts of the university and community and people who construct and develop helmets.

“When they see the clinical outcome or the impact of their devices by publishing something like this, that’s what we hope — that this noise leads to the development of better helmets and better research,” Joseph said.

The study has generated a lot of noise, Joseph said, and ultimately, he said he hopes to have this be a catalyst for change in helmet design, leading to improved safety and outcomes.

“We’re not saying that helmets are bad,” Joseph said, “but they’re not made to protect you against the scratches and bruises. The helmet is truly there to protect you against this [intracranial] bleeding, and if that is not being seen, then we need to question not whether or not we should wear helmets, but rather how our current helmets are developed.”

Tucsonans to learn healthy heart habits

DAILY DOSE Wellness entrepreneur answers questions about her self-published cookbook, offers tips for good health

BY KIMBERLIE WANG

The Daily Wildcat

Heart-shaped chocolates and balloons should not be the only kind of hearts at the forefronts of our minds during this time of year. This February marks the 51st anniversary of American Heart Month. Recognizing the importance of public education on this number one killer of Americans, the Sarver Heart Center is presenting the Healthy Heart Day event this Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. at the University of Arizona Medical Center.

“Much of heart disease burden is attributed to our lifestyle,” said Dr. Nancy K. Sweitzer, director of the Sarver Heart Center, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Cardiology. “We thought we would take this opportunity to further our goal of educating the people of Tucson about a heart-healthy lifestyle as well as an optimal lifestyle for treating heart disease.”

The event includes blood pressure and glucose screenings, breathing assessments, medication consults with College of Pharmacy students and presentations about the latest heart-health information given by the center’s experts.

According to Dr. Charles Katzenberg, clinical professor of medicine and cardiologist at UAMC’s North Hills Physician Offices Clinic, the risk factors for coronary heart disease include smoking, hypertension, diabetes, lack of regular exercise, obesity and stress.

Furthermore, Katzenberg explained that studies show that young people who live with high cholesterol levels for long periods of time are at the highest risk for developing coronary heart disease.

“When you’re young, get your cholesterol checked,” Katzenberg said.

“Get your triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein and glucose levels checked in your 20s. I think a lot of people just

walk right past that and don’t think about it.”

Katzenberg also noted that people have common misconceptions about coronary heart disease. People believe that genetics dictates whether or not they will develop coronary heart disease, but the risk factors play a much more significant role.

“You’re not genetically doomed to have coronary heart disease if you pay attention and are preventative,” Katzenberg said.

Another misconception, Katzenberg said, was that young people believe they are immortal.

“They think they can smoke and eat fast food for a while and then straighten up, but heart disease develops over decades,” Katzenberg said. “Autopsy studies of young people in their 20s show that 50 percent or more have evidence of plaque in their arteries. So it starts young. You can’t start prevention too early.”

Healthy Heart Day also includes a presentation from Ruth TaylorPiliae, an associate professor in the College of Nursing. Taylor-Piliae will be presenting her research on using

tai chi exercise to improve physical function and quality of life in stroke survivors.

“Falls are a really big problem for all older adults, but particularly for stroke survivors,” Taylor-Piliae explained.

“When somebody has a stroke, their balance equilibrium is off due to the damage that is done in the brain. There are several key features of tai chi that can help stroke survivors with their balance.”

Healthy Heart Day attendants are able to experience tai chi themselves, as well as laughter yoga and a hearthealthy walk.

Many center experts hope that the interactive nature of Healthy Heart Day will encourage individuals to continue being mindful of their heart health after American Heart Month passes.

“Everyday should be healthy heart day,” Katzenberg said. “You can’t remind yourself enough. We need a healthy heart lifetime.”

DW: What types of recipes can be found in your cookbook?

Harrington: My philosophy is to seek out foods that are nutrient dense, which means the food is high in micronutrients versus macronutrients. Micronutrients are bioactive compounds, such as vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, that are required in small amounts for proper metabolic function, but they are not major sources of energy. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, which equals calories.

You obviously need calories, but they aren’t enough to make you a vibrant organism. As a result of this simple way of eating, almost all of my recipes are vegetarian, and many vegan, but not all. Most of my recipes also require only a few main ingredients that are affordable.

What would you say to the college student who claims he is too busy to cook regularly? In general, what do you think are the most frequent barriers that prevent students from cooking for themselves?

Sometimes, there really aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done and take care of yourself. Fatigue is another huge factor that makes it difficult for students to allocate energy for the procurement and preparation of quality food. And of course,

cost. Here are some of my recommendations: Keep some staple items on hand that are both inexpensive and have high nutrient value.

I really like black beans, sweet potatoes, almonds, bananas, dried cherries, dark chocolate, tempeh, olive oil, lemons, almond milk, tuna, frozen berries, frozen rice or barley and a high-quality plantbased protein powder for a quick shake or smoothie with some almond or coconut milk. These foods can keep for awhile, but of course, go buy fresh produce and eat as you go.

You need to stress your body, acutely. Stress, just like inflammation, isn’t inherently bad, it just depends on the dose.

Acute stress is a good thing for the body. I’ve become a master of the 10-minute yoga study break. Doing little things like this throughout the day help keep my energy levels up and are perfect for small spaces. Eating well is awesome, but it’s important to train the other side of the metabolic coin. Physical activity improves blood flow, activates hormone-sensitive lipase for fatburning, and helps you deal with the chronic stresses of your life.

While National Signing Day is almost starting to become a national holiday with all its festivities, Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez praised the lack of drama for the Wildcats.

Arizona welcomed a 28-player class on Wednesday, the first day for 2015 recruits to sign a National Letter of Intent.

Of the new Wildcats, there are 11 offensive players, 12 defensive players, three athletes and nine that enrolled this semester. The other players will start during summer school.

“A lot of these guys have been committed for quite some time,” Rodriguez said. “There was really no drama [Wednesday], probably the least amount of drama I’ve ever experienced as a head coach on National Signing Day, so it was a good day all around, and we already started working on the future of course.”

Rodriguez said the Wildcats hoped to restock their offensive and defensive lines and safeties and get faster with this class.

They added five offensive linemen , five defensive linemen, two safeties and three athletes — players who don’t have a position yet.

“We had some immediate needs that we tried to fill, and I think we did with this class,”

Freshman could make instant impact

BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Daily Wildcat

In less than two weeks, there will be 11 players on Arizona’s baseball roster experiencing a college baseball game for the first time. Last season, Arizona also had 11 true freshmen on the team, and two of them got to make their debut during the season opener.

This season, while there are some positions still open, Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said there are people who are making the push to be key players in the program.

“They’re really working hard right now and they’re all fighting for a spot,

so I think that’s really good,” Arizona infielder Scott Kingery said. “Having that competition out there is good for us because they’re getting ready to perform in the [Pac-12 Conference].”

Handsome Monica, a catcher from Mandeville, La., is one of the guys who has an opportunity to be in the lineup for Arizona. Lopez said Monica has been making the jump to be a designated hitter or a backup catcher.

Much like other baseball players, Monica expected to be drafted right out of high school in last year’s draft.

That plan didn’t work out, however. His name wasn’t called, but now he has the opportunity to be a

key contributor for an Arizona team looking to make the postseason for the first time since 2012.

Joining Monica, some of the other young players who stand out for Lopez are Kale Morton, Cameron Ming and JJ Matijevic.

On the other hand, Matijevic, who also waited on the draft, was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 22nd round but chose to continue his baseball career at Arizona instead.

After that decision, he has a chance to be a key contributor on offense for the program.

“Monica and Matijevic have the chance for some big bats for us in the lineup,” Kingery said.

Ming and Morton are both lefthanded pitchers and two of the six left-handed batters listed on the roster. Their importance is that much more, considering Tyler Crawford will be out this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

With first base available and the outfield not set, the freshmen have less than two weeks to show who wants the playing time.

“They’re all in the mix for competing for some spots,” Lopez said. “Those are the ones who stand out right now, but things can change.”

Houston, if it and Gonzaga were both to pull off No. 1 seeds.

Regardless of whether or not you think Texas is God’s gift to the U.S. or America’s armpit, a western team should want to go to LA, so while the No. 1 seeds all face 16 seeds in the first round, their road to the Final Four could be a lot smoother.

CBS Sports, ESPN, USA Today, Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report have Gonzaga as the No. 1 seed in the west, but they’re wrong.

Arizona has a better RPI (No. 4 vs. No. 8), a better strength of schedule (20th vs. 57th) and a better nonconference RPI (No. 4 vs.

No. 39).

Gonzaga is 1-1 vs. the RPI top 25, 3-1 vs. the RPI top 50, 7-1 vs. the RPI top 100 and 13-1 vs. the RPI top 150. Those are good numbers to be sure, but Arizona’s are better.

Arizona is 2-0 vs. the RPI top 25, 4-0 vs. the RPI top 50, 11-1 vs. the RPI top 100 and 16-2 vs. the RPI top 150.

The only knocks against Arizona are its two bad losses: at RPI No. 83 Oregon State and at RPI No. 105 UNLV. Gonzaga doesn’t have any bad losses. Its only loss came against a very highly rated team, which was — drum roll, please — RPI No. 4 Arizona.

ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi actually said that Gonzaga has a better body of work than the UA, because its one loss, to the UA, is better than the UA’s two losses.

Head-to-head isn’t everything, of course. No one would suggest UNLV or Oregon State is better than Arizona, perhaps because the Wildcats just beat the Beavers by 23 points. But when all other major

measuring sticks say the UA has a better resume, it looks like it has a better resume.

Plus, ranking one team below another team because it has worse losses is so negative. That’s not “this glass is half empty.” That’s interrogating people to find out who drank half your beverage.

The Pac-12 is bad this year and it looks like it will only get three NCAA tournament bids, but Gonzaga’s West Coast Conference is worse. It’ll only get one bid unless the Zags zig out of their conference tournament early.

The Pac-12 is sixth in RPI and has an out-of-conference record of 105-41. The WCC is ninth in the RPI and has a nonconference record of 62-43.

The reception also holds a personal meaning for Butts.

“I lost my aunt last year to cancer, and obviously numerous folks I know have been affected by it,” Butts said. “It’s just a nasty, ugly disease, and we certainly need to do everything we can in terms of research to help fight cancer.”

However, to quote another Disney movie, let it go.

Giving it a No. 1 seed would be a waste. Gonzaga hasn’t made it past the Sweet 16 since 1999.

Every year, it loses early, like in 2014, to — drum roll, please — Arizona.

The Arizona women’s basketball site has a link for guests to reserve their spot.

In continuing the day’s theme, the first 500 fans in attendance will receive free pom poms and sneaker keychains.
