100 years of ‘A’ mountain

BY AVA GARCIA

The Daily Wildcat

One of the oldest symbols of the UA celebrates its 100th birthday today.

The bright, whitewashed “A” on the side of a mountain southwest of campus was completed on this day in 1916 as a symbol of UA pride.

Found on Sentinel Peak, the mountain earned its nickname of “A” Mountain following a UA football win against Pomona College in 1914. Football player Albert Condron, a civil engineering student, started the idea of surveying the mountain to find a spot for an “A,” according to a UA website detailing the history of the mountain.

While construction began at an earlier date, the actual whitewashing of the “A” on the mountain was completed on March 4, 1916, according to Jill Hall, vice president of alumni engagement and innovation. It was then that the mountain earned its current name.

After Condron completed the survey and selected Sentinel Peak as the location, students cleared the area of shrubbery and dug trenches for the outlines of the foundation of the “A,” according to the website. After all the work was done, the “A” measured 160 feet tall and 70 feet wide.

The cost of the project in total, including the transportation of the water that had to be pulled up the mountain by teams of six horses, was $397, the website said.

The maintenance of the white

paint on the “A” was kept up in part by a tradition known as “A” Day, which used to occur every fall. According to Hall, each year the Blue Key Honor Society bussed freshman students to “A” Mountain to repaint the “A” on the mountain.

The tradition no longer happens though. Hall said she doesn’t know the exact reason why, but it might have to do with the cost of the event.

“They had to buy the paint to do it, so it might have just gotten too expensive for them to have to do,” Hall said.

The tradition lasted for at least 86 years and was carried out as recently as 2010, according to the 2010 Blue Key National Honor Society OrgSync website.

While the tradition of painting the “A” may not have lasted, the

memories have for those alumni who were able to experience it.

“I think ‘A’ Mountain, to most of the alums, they’ll remember it as part of painting the ‘A’ as a freshman,” Hall said. “‘A’ Mountain is Tucson and that is why I think alumni love it. It reminds them of home and for a lot of them, they painted the ‘A’ as a freshman, which was a rite of passage for them.”

Even though the tradition may be extinguished, the tradition of the lighting of the “A” for Homecoming week still burns bright.

Every Sunday before Homecoming week starts, the pep band, cheerleaders, Homecoming royalty, alumni and others gather atop the Main Gate Garage for what Hall called the “biggest tradition” involving “A” Mountain.

Set against the backdrop of

the sunset, the Bobcat Senior Honorary lights the “A” on the mountain with flares so it can be seen by the viewers on top of the parking garage.

“At a certain point, they’ll turn around because you can see the ‘A’ perfectly and the ‘A’ will start to glow,” Hall said. “It’s really pretty.”

As for the centennial of the mountain, Hall said the Alumni Association has no plans for any party-like celebration for the mountain’s milestone. The association will make posts about the centennial on its social media accounts, according to Hall.

“It’s pretty exciting,” she said.

“It’s kind of neat that things are starting to turn 100.”

asua elections from page 1

be joining Finnegan at the helm of ASUA. Hammond is the current AVP and ran unopposed in this year’s election.

While the race for the presidency and the administrative vice presidency turned out to be cut and dry, the race for the executive vice presidency hit a road block.

Cox appeals the disqualification Following accusations that ASUA Sen. Trey Cox was using illegal campaign tactics and, more notably, making harassing remarks toward his opponent, Stefano Saltalamacchia, Cox was disqualified from the race pending investigation and an appeals process.

No official winner was declared following the closing of the polls.

If the elections commissioner’s decision to disqualify Cox is upheld through the appeals process, then Cox has the opportunity to appeal the decision again through the ASUA Supreme Court.

Cox ultimately had five strikes levied against him. According to ASUA Elections Commissioner Diego Alvarez, only three strikes are required to disqualify a candidate.

In addition to illegal campaign tactics, Alvarez confirmed that one of the strikes against Cox involved the accusations of harassment.

Harassment of fellow candidates is explicitly detailed in ASUA Elections Code chapter 5, section 5-3.01.

The code says: “Verbal or physical harassment or intimidation of other candidates or adherents will not be tolerated. Such behavior will result in a strike or automatic disqualification and referral to the Dean of Students Office …”

This portion of the code was added this year, according to Alvarez.

Cox confirmed Thursday afternoon that he had appealed the disqualification with the ASUA Elections Commission.

The commission had begun its review of the appeal and reached a decision as of Thursday night—however, no information will be made public until 9 a.m. Friday.

The accusations of harassment In addition to accusations that involve the practice of door-to-door campaigning

Executive vice presidential (above) candidate Trey Cox stands in a crowd following the announcement of his disqualification from the general election in the Student Union Memorial Center on Wednesday, March 2. Cox was disqualified pending investigation after a reported five infractions of the ASUA Elections Code.

Newly elected (right) ASUA president Mikey Finnegan is caught shedding a tear of happiness with Chaingang Junior Honorary Caroline Barlett prior to his election in the Student Union Memorial center on Wednesday, March 2.

within campus dormitories and supplying electronic devices with which to vote, it is reported that Cox—referring to Saltalamacchia—told potential voters that a “cross dresser” should not be the executive vice president.

“Given what has happened in the past and given my view toward harassment, I just couldn’t let that slip,” Alvarez said. “So we took the evidence that we had, and we said that this is absolutely unacceptable because this wasn’t just one complaint, it was ... various [complaints].”

While it could not be confirmed where the complaints were coming due to confidentiality issues, Alvarez said that Saltalamacchia did not file all of them.

Saltalamacchia confirmed this, saying that he only filed two against Cox. Saltalamacchia and his team first received word of Cox’s supposed illegal campaign activities Monday evening and reported them to the ASUA elections commission, which then placed Cox and his campaign under review.

The following morning, Saltalamacchia was notified of the alleged harassing remarks.

“He violated the student code of conduct,” Saltalamacchia said, “and I don’t think that the ASUA advisers are going to take that lightly, and I’m happy that they didn’t.”

From the moment the accusations of harassing remarks were first brought against him, Cox has vehemently denied that he ever said anything of the nature.

“Frankly, I don’t even care about the election anymore,” Cox said. “Right now, I just want my name cleared. I never said those things. I never would.”

A video published on Saltalamacchia’s campaign Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon shows Saltalamacchia accusing Cox and his team of illegal campaign tactics, as well as saying discriminatory remarks directed toward Saltalamacchia.

The video outlines the accusations levied against Cox by Saltalamacchia and says that, while campaigning in dormitories and sorority houses, Cox told voters that a “cross

dresser should not be the executive vice president,” according to the video.

In the video, Saltalamacchia said despite the claimed illegal campaign tactics, it is the attack on his identity that is most disheartening.

Without the disqualification, Cox would have won the election, as he pulled in 65.99 percent of the votes compared to Saltalamacchia’s 34.01 percent.

“It sucks for everyone. It’s not right and we’ll see what happens,” Alvarez said. “We’ll let the process uncover, or vindicate or shore-up whatever the underlying truth or sequence of events may have been.”

Study shows how to be a sustainable shopper

BY LAUREN RENTERIA The Daily Wildcat

A UA study gives consumers a new outlook on how to grocery shop like a sustainability professional and highlights the costly effects of throwing out uneaten foods.

Victoria Ligon, a UA graduate student with a master’s degree in retailing and consumer sciences, conducted a study focusing primarily on the effects of food waste and solutions on how to combat this problem.

Reports show that around 40 percent of the garbage in landfills is wasted food that was once edible. That food made it to the household trash bin completely uneaten.

In Tucson, food waste makes up about 80 percent of the city’s landfill.

Additionally, the average American will toss about 10 percent of all food purchases to the landfill each year, which adds up to $400 per person, or around $1,000 annually, wasted on trashed food for a family of four.

In her study, Ligon investigated why and how these trends are so prevalent in American society.

“If we are throwing half of our food away, we have a lot of room to increase our efficiency before we even address the larger systemic problems in these systems,” Ligon said. “So that’s where I got interested originally.”

Ligon began her the project back in 2011 and finished in May 2015. She is currently working on publishing her study in a research journal.

By the end of her study, Ligon had found that the problem of household food waste mainly comes down to the way people buy food.

“Essentially, the patterns of how we shop are leading us to throw this food away,” she said. “Because when you look at the news, a lot of the attention that gets focused on in food waste tends be focused on things you can do in your kitchen … the fact of the matter is, we are overbuying.”

Ligon found that the tempting practice of hunting for bargains can be a big contributor to how much households waste. She said buying foods in bulk can be wasteful.

“We are overstocking our kitchens and at the end of the day, waste is inevitable,” Ligon said. “Of course, some of those techniques can reduce waste, but what they really do is prevent you from having to buy food in the future.”

In her research, Ligon found that perceptions of food in the American lifestyle led to this culture of overbuying.

“Most Americans shop at around four to seven different stores on a regular rotation.

In my study, for instance, some people buy certain foods from Costco, particular items from Target and maybe they even have a specialty store like Trader Joe’s,” Ligon

.

said. “People hate the experience ... of coming home from the grocery store and realizing they forgot something.”

Ligon said this sort of behavior is not necessarily a conscious decision that consumers make. She gathered different opinions on food waste and found that most individuals carry a “natural aversion” to wasting food. She said she believes that wasteful behavior occurs because people don’t notice the decisions they make are harmful.

“In order to not confront that uncomfortable thing, we minimize, we justify, until over time, we have almost no sense of how much we are actually throwing away and what that value is,” Ligon said.

“Where we have an intense acute sense as to where we got a deal.”

To combat the disposal of food, Ligon suggested shopping more frequently rather than buying all at once. She said if consumers keep in mind how much they need, food waste can be decreased.

Chet Phillips, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona program coordinator for the UA Compost Cats, further weighed in on food waste. Phillips said that food waste not only costs a lot for one’s wallet, but also poses a threat to the environment.

In regards to climate change, food waste is a contributor of green house gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Phillips and a group of undergraduate students work to combat the problem by collecting trashed food and composting it for agricultural use.

“My students and I have had the opportunity to stand shin-deep in a field of tomatoes that arrived perfectly good for human c o n s u m p t i o n ,” Phillips said. “If they hadn’t come to us, they would’ve gone straight to the landfill.”

While Compost Cats has recently made deals with markets across Tucson to gather unwanted food, Phillips said students can do their part by composting at home.

“There are accessible compost bins across campus, like at the Student Union [sic] and Pangea,” Phillips said. “As students use those things more, we can expand and add more compost bins on campus.”

Human Papillomavirus prevalence among females ages 14 to 19 decreased by 64 percent within six years of the vaccine introduction, according to a new study.

The research, published in the journal Pediatrics, was led by Lauri E. Markowitz of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers also found a 34 percent decrease in HPV prevalence among those of the age of 20 to 24 years since the introduction of the HPV vaccine.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States.

Currently, there are 79 million Americans infected with HPV, with 14 million new infections every year, according to the CDC. The CDC stated that HPV is so common that almost all men and women who are sexually active will get it at some point in their lives.

Luckily, in most cases, HPV goes away on its own without many signs or symptoms.

HPV does, however, have the potential to turn into genital warts or even cancer. HPV has been linked to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus or even throat.

As far as preventing transmission of the virus, the CDC said the most important way to prevent transmission is to get vaccinated. They recommend vaccination of all boys and girls at least 11 to 12 years old.

After learning of the decline in HPV prevalence nationwide, the Daily Wildcat spoke with Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health Service, to see if incidents at the UA have been affected.

“We have seen a significant reduction in cases of HPV-associated genital warts at the Women’s Health Clinic here at the UA,” Hamilton said. “This is really exciting because this is a really effective vaccine that can prevent many, many cases of cervical cancer, as well as cases of genital warts.”

Hamilton also said the HPV vaccine is effective against 90 percent of the strains that cause genital warts or changes in the cervix that could ultimately lead to cancer.

For students on campus who wish to get vaccinated, Campus Health offers two different HPV vaccines available in the immunizations office on the first floor, room A104.

“I encourage students, if you haven’t gotten the HPV vaccine, to seriously consider getting it,” Hamilton said. “It’s highly effective and can prevent cancer, genital warts and is conveniently available at Campus Health. Most major health insurances will pay for it.”

J

ustice John Marshall was the longest serving chief justice of the United States, serving from 1801 to 1835. Thirty-four years may be a similar amount of time to the years spent in an average career, but the ramifications of the decisions of the Supreme Court are far beyond those of an average career. It is for this reason that we should do away with life-long appointments in the Supreme Court.

This idea has been circulating for several years, but with the recent death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February, the argument against lifetime appointments

came to the forefront of American political dialogue once again. Scalia had an impressive background of education and employment before his appointment to the Supreme Court and stood firm in his conservative values for the duration of his term. He was one of four justices to vote against samesex marriage in the court’s 2015 ruling. His unwillingness to change frustrated many Americans.

Lifetime appointments are implicitly promised to justices in Article III of the Constitution through the statement that justices “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.” No numerical value is attached to this promise, making justices’ terms essentially as long as they would like to serve.

The judicial branch is the only branch of our government that does not have a term limit. This is a problem that manifests itself in the stagnation of political views and the

limitations of old age.

Scalia was on the bench for 30 years. In that time, more than 20 countries legalized same-sex marriage. In that time, the United States went through the cold war and competed with the Soviet Union in a nuclear arms race. In that time, war broke out in the Middle East. We now face terrorism and a refugee crisis. That is hardly a history to be defined by the decisions of justices unwilling to budge their political views.

American’s political values are constantly changing and the way justices interpret the Constitution should change with that movement. When justices stay on the bench for decades, the Supreme Court quickly falls behind the views of the country and the people they are supposed to represent.

One often ignored issue with lifetime appointments is age. A justice who lives until they’re 100

years old would be able to continue to serve on the court if they chose.

All justices were undeniably sharp in their primes, but we should not deny that at a certain age, the justices will no longer be as capable of making the hard decisions demanded of them every single day.

The constitutional amendment process exists for a reason and, although it’s unlikely we would see this change happen soon, it seems necessary to limit the amount of time justices are able to serve.

Justices should have a term limit or a suggested retirement age to keep political ideology up to date and to continue getting fresh ideas into the Supreme Court so they can help shape the future of our country.

UA can’t ignore advantages of ethnic studies

BY JACOB WINKELMAN The Daily Wildcat

L

ate last month, the UA hosted its first ever Asian Pacific American Studies conference. The event, which had an audience of students from across Arizona, was an avenue for discussing the implementation of an ethnic studies program pertaining to Asian Pacific Americans at the UA. The university already has some ethnic studies programs, including: Africana Studies, Mexican American Studies, Latin American Studies, and American Indian Studies. The Gender and Women’s Studies department also offers a Sexualities and Queer Studies concentration. This leaves each of the designated cultural centers at the UA with a corresponding program, save for Asian Pacific American Student Affairs.

Conversations about the issue of diversity and increasing funding for minority and ethnic studies programs have resurfaced across college campuses in large part because of the work of the Black Lives

Matter movement. Institutional support of minority students—or lack thereof— has festered resentment from numerous campus groups, making this a prime opportunity to push for an Asian-American studies program.

Although the complaints and demands from marginalized students at various universities have spanned many topics, including cultural competency training for faculty, an increase in the number of fulltime staff members in the cultural centers, and a commitment to larger facilities for cultural centers, ethnic studies programs are a pressing need that’s often overlooked.

Ethnic studies programs provide a variety of essential services to a university and its students, including those who don’t identify with that specific race, ethnicity, or gender.

Professor Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales of San Francisco State University, the first institution to implement an Asian American Studies Program, presented research in last month’s conference’s keynote explaining how ethnic studies programs improve the retention rates, G.P.A., attendance and self-confidence of minority students.

In fact, a recent study from the Stanford Graduate School of Education on the

impact of high school ethnic studies programs found that “attendance for those encouraged to enroll in the class increased by 21 percentage points, GPA by 1.4 grade points and credits earned by 23.”

Hannah White, a junior at the UA and one of the students on the APASA board of directors, explained why an Asian American Studies program would be beneficial for our campus: “We need an Asian American studies program to help bring awareness about the ethnic diversity of Asian Americans. These issues include: class gender, race, language, religion, class, health, immigration, and more. This will be a first step of many in bringing about cultural competency and the beginnings of eliminating racism.”

Ethnic studies departments not only boast the empirical advantages of higher GPAs and stronger retention rates, but can also give students an opportunity to study culture, significant historical figures, and perspectives that are often left out of traditional (i.e. White) curriculums.

Understanding how Asians, or any other marginalized group, came to the United States, have been historically treated, and have integrated their culture into a broader society, are essential questions for exploring a host of topics in today’s world.

These perspectives are frequently disregarded in traditional courses and can also provide non-marginalized students with valuable information and perspective.

Much of our curriculum emphasizes white authors, white political figures, and white narratives. In addition to Whiteness, these curriculums tend to focus around cisgender, straight, able-bodied and Christian men. Challenging the typical narrative is a beneficial learning experience for all students.

Studying the United States from the perspective of other cultures and identities develops cultural literacy and allows students to understand the modern political landscape and the systemic, institutional barriers that still exist in society today.

The University of Arizona has an obligation to fund ethnic studies programs and give priority to these erased and silenced narratives. The momentum currently exists to make this a reality, so hopefully our university will act as a true representative of the students it serves.

THE NORTH SEA coastline on Holy Island in Northumberland, England. Currently, dulse is sold as a nutritional supplement and in the future may be grown, fried and sold around the world.

Seaweed that tastes like bacon

BY NATALIE ROBBINS The Daily Wildcat

Do you like bacon, but hate the guilt that comes with eating it? If so, scientists at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center may have discovered the solution: Seaweed that tastes like bacon.

The seaweed, called dulse, belongs to the red marine algae family, and it is quickly grabbing people’s attention. When it is

fried, it has a strong bacon flavor, according to Time.

This is especially exciting considering dulse has twice the nutritional value of kale and tastes great, according to an OSU news release.

Dulse grows in the wild along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. There are currently no commercial farms for dulse but scientists see this as a potential up-and-coming industry in Oregon, according to Time.

Seaweed is often enjoyed

as a snack among health-food enthusiasts.

This type of seaweed is already on the market as a health food supplement. With the success of kale chips, which promise a healthier, salty snack, there is a growing marketplace for superfood snacks such as dulse.

Scientists believe that this discovery has the potential to appeal to the vegan marketplace, according to the news release.

Traditionally, dulse was harvested and dried. With this

discovery, there is an opportunity to open a market for fresh dulse that can be harvested, fried and sold. There is also a potential to use dulse as a flavor additive in foods, according to the news release.

With any luck, the bacon lover in all of us will soon be satisfied, thanks to fried dulse.

A blue-footed booby at the Galapagos Islands in July 2015. The booby exhibits some interesting mating displays that focus on their signature blue feet.

Sex in the animal kingdom From snail “love darts” to the four-headed penises of the Echnidas, sex gets wild from species to species

BY lizzie hannah The Daily Wildcat

If you think your sex life is crazy, think again. From fantastic feathered tails, to intricate dances to brute displays of strength, many animal species have mating behaviors that put cheesy pickup lines to shame.

Love slugs The slimy creatures crawling through your garden may not be as innocent as you think. As you are casually planting your tomatoes, certain species of slugs and snails are shooting each other with socalled “love darts.”

Terrestrial pulmonate snails are hermaphroditic, meaning that an individual can produce both egg cells and sperm cells. Of this group of hermaphroditic snails, several species engage in courtship behavior that involves stabbing a dart into the flesh of potential mates. This dart, made of calcium carbonate, is produced by

a species-specific reproductive organ.

The mating ritual commences when two snails begin circling each other, rubbing each other’s tentacles, lips and genital pores. After several hours, the snails’ blood pressures increase to critical levels. This increase in pressure causes one snail to fire a dart into the body of the other. The dart is covered in protein-rich mucus and becomes embedded in the body of the second snail.

Researchers said that “love dart” penetration enhances sperm viability in terrestrial pulmonate snails. Snails that successfully shoot “love darts” during their mating rituals tend to have more offspring than snails that do not.

Excited echidnas Being one of only two mammalian species capable of laying eggs, echidnas are unique in more ways than one. In addition to their spiny exteriors and beaked noses, echidnas have penises with four heads.

A male echidna uses only two of its

four penis heads during mating, while the second pair remains inactive. The two active heads produce semen, which enters the female’s complementary reproductive system.

The next time it has sex, the male echidna uses the other two heads.

Flirtatious feet Travel to Darwin’s old stomping grounds (the Galapagos Islands) and you’ll encounter the blue-footed booby, a species of bird whose feet are as blue as the ocean surrounding its habitat.

The blue-footed booby’s turquoise toes indicate health and fitness. In fact, a bird with bright, blue feet is likely to be stronger and more nourished than one with dull, pale feet.

While you may take your partner’s Nike shoes for granted, blue-footed boobies use foot color to choose their mates. Selecting partners with bold, bright feet gives individual birds a better chance of mating with healthy individuals, making them

more likely to produce successful offspring.

To court females, male boobies perform an intricate dance, during which they present their feet to their potential partner.

Till death do us part Would you die for your significant other?

If you’re a male honeybee, you don’t have a choice.

During mating, a male drone bee ejaculates into the queen bee through his endophallus. An endophallus is an internal mating organ. As the bee flies away, his endophallus tears away and his abdomen explodes.

As a result of this abdominal damage, most male honeybees die after they finish mating.

Perhaps the techniques employed by the following animals will prove useful next time you ask your crush out on a date.

Perkins Coie Innovative Minds Challenge

BY HANNAH DINELL

The Daily Wildcat

A PROMOTIONAL POSTER for the Perkins Coie Innovative Minds Challenge.

The challenge gives students the chance to commercialize their innovations with prizes and resources.

Applications were submitted Feb. 27 for the Perkins Coie Innovative Minds Challenge, sponsored by Perkins Coie Law Firm, the Arizona Center for Innovation, Startup Tucson and InnovateUA. This is the second year of the challenge, which gives students the chance to commercialize their innovations with monetary prizes and non-monetary resources.

Students submit applications for their business ideas in February. Selected finalists have the chance to both bring their ideas to life through the InnovateUA Accelerator Program and present their ideas at the Innovative Minds Challenge Demo Day. Zy Mazza, a religious studies sophomore, is the director of accelerator and education for InnovateUA. He said the Minds Challenge began because InnovateUA’s executive director, Justin Williams, wanted to create an incubator, or accelerator, for innovators.

InnovateUA then partnered with Perkins Coie, who

does these kinds of challenges all over the country.

Perkins Coie also sponsors Innovative Minds Challenges at Arizona State University, the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Washington.

“Basically, there are three ways to be eligible for the challenge,” Mazza said. “Through the InnovateUA Accelerator Program, through the McGuire Entrepreneurship Program and the third one is enrollment in a list of qualifying courses.”

Mazza was a competitor in last year’s challenge. According to him, InnovateUA’s programs work as a pipeline.

“At the beginning of this year, we had Pitchfest, which is the first event designed to get people thinking about business ideas,” Mazza said.

“Following this is Startup Weekend, to get people to start thinking about their ideas seriously and following that is the accelerator. The goal of the pipeline is to get progressions, to get students ready to take their idea to the next level, to make them commercially viable and have a business you can rely on that will pay

the bills.”

All of the possible prizes for winning the Innovative Minds Challenge total $25,000. Perkins Coie Law Firm, AzCI and Startup Tucson each have a different selection committee and select winners separately.

Mazza said the different sponsors have prizes that can be won in cash or in fellowships, depending on the prize pool. Mazza’s own business, Agent Sage, was a finalist in last year’s program. His business works to provide home buyers and sellers with an efficient and likeable real estate agent, while also giving agents valuable information that allows them to make home purchases more efficient.

Mazza, InnovateUA and the Perkins Coie Innovative Minds Challenge are working to ensure that student ideas are fostered and encouraged to usher in a new age of entrepreneurship from the UA.

Gabe York had the ball in his hands in the final seconds against California over a month ago in Berkeley. Down 74-73, York’s jumper didn’t quite go, giving the Golden Bears the upset over then No. 12 Arizona.

But the second time around had a much different, more poetic ending for the senior.

York and the Arizona Wildcats found redemption in more ways than one Thursday night after York hit a 3-pointer with 12.7 seconds remaining to give the No. 18 Wildcats the victory against No. 25 Cal in McKale Center.

“I’m not someone who’s always about myself, but for me, this would probably be number one,” York said. “A very hostile team that we lost to last time and I missed the game winning shot, so I had a little bit of a chip on my shoulder.”

Trailing 61-53 with just under two minutes to play, Arizona saw its comeback sparked by York, Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson, three seniors who were playing in their second-tolast home game of their collegiate careers.

“I’ve been in the gym for countless hours every day after the Utah and Colorado losses when I played so poorly,” York said. “I couldn’t get it done for my team and give credit to coach [Mark] Phelps. He texted me everyday and wanted to know what time I wanted to come in.”

Anderson scored on a layup and was fouled, making the free throw and cutting the deficit to 61-56. Cal’s Tyrone Wallace turned the ball over and York responded by hitting a deep 3 to cut the Cal lead to just two.

Cal’s Jaylen Brown fouled out on a charge on the following possession, giving Arizona the ball with 29 seconds remaining.

In the ensuing moments, York ran through a couple of screens, caught the pass from Kadeem Allen well beyond the 3-point arc, and shot. Bang.

Tarczewski grabbed the final rebound after Wallace missed the final shot for Cal. He knocked down two free throws and sealed

ARIZONA GUARD GABE YORK 1 screams victoriously after scoring the game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds of the game in McKale Center on Thursday, March 3. York overcame multiple missed late game opportunities earlier in the season to hit one of the biggest shots of his life.

the victory for Arizona. “[I’ve] never been more happy for a kid than I am right now for Gabe,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “To watch him bounce back from last week’s performance, his own and our team’s, and do what he did tonight in the second half. He had 19 points in the second half against an incredible defensive team. He deserves a lot of credit.”

During a time where college basketball seniors are rare, York and others proved why experience and resiliency are invaluable, especially in March.

They’ve played in big games before and it showed in their late

game run.

With this win, Arizona has more than likely sealed up a first round bye in next week’s Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas. These final two games are about them and they took full advantage of it.

Now, the Wildcats turn their attention to Saturday and the Stanford Cardinal.

Arizona defeated Stanford 71-57 in their last meet in Palo Alto, California, and the seniors will have one more opportunity to shine in front of the McKale Center faithful.

The Cardinal (15-12, 8-8) is sitting at eighth place in the Pac12 Conference. Stanford has the

lowest scoring offense in the Pac12 at 70 points per game, but the third highest defensive scoring, allowing only 69 points per game.

Stanford shoots the ball about 43 percent from the field and 33 percent from 3.

Arizona and Stanford also played on Senior Night last season. T.J. McConnell famously kissed the block A at McKale Center’s half-court and the Wildcats won 91-69.

THE MANY FACES OF SEAN MILLER

TYLER BAKER, SYDNEY RICHARDSON, COURTNEY TALAK, REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

An inside look at how Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller has come from Pittsburgh high school star to renowned Coach of the Year at a perennial powerhouse program

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

Xavier University’s then-second-year head coach Sean Miller breathed a hard sigh of relief.

The Musketeers had just defeated Saint Joseph’s University 62-61 to take the 2006 Atlantic-10 Conference Tournament title, a win that ensured Xavier’s return to the NCAA Tournament after missing out the previous season.

Miller, only 37 years old at the time, entered that year’s Atlantic-10 Conference Tournament fighting for his job. Just a few days earlier, Xavier director of athletics Dawn Rogers was fielding questions about whether Miller would return the following season.

“He was one of the brightest coaches in all of college basketball and the beat guy is asking about job security,” said Mike DeCourcy, Sporting News columnist. “The athletic director said that she would evaluate after the season. I can’t even imagine the pressure that he was under.”

That pressure continued to build. It was seen by players, coaches, fans and media.

“I am telling you, I have never seen more relief from a coach following a victory then I did that night,” DeCourcy said. “That was one of the most important nights of his career, unfortunately. It’s why he is the coach that he is today.”

It’s one of a few defining moments that has shaped the career of a potential hall of fame coach.

Miller has racked up a 306-106 overall record. He has taken teams to eight NCAA Tournaments, six Sweet 16s and four Elite Eights. He is a coach who has seen seven players walk across the draft stage to shake the NBA commissioner’s hand.

Miller’s uprising move to Arizona When you walk through McKale Center’s doors near the south ticket office, you see frames of Arizona men’s basketball coaches along the left wall. Fred Enke, with a win percentage of .611 and 10 conference titles, appears first. Next is Fred Snowden, the first black head coach at a major university.

As you walk along, a large frame of the smiling Lute Olson,

Arizona’s beloved champion head ball coach, appears. Then the wall turns blank.

Soon, Miller’s photo and frame will sit right next to Olson, the coach whose footsteps he followed since his start at Arizona.

“He is the Thorion standard of excellence in the Conference of Champions,” said Bill Walton, ESPN television analyst.

“It’s not a coincidence that ... he just happens to be here.

He has continued the legacy of a hall of fame coach literally overnight. And that’s not easy to do.”

In his time at Arizona, Miller has racked up a 186-59 record. He has brought Arizona to the brink of the Final Four three times. He has managed to rebuild a program that regularly decimates Pac-12 Conference opponents who treat a matchup with his team like they are playing in the Super Bowl.

“Sean Miller is in the group of elite coaches that are going to take the place of those greats,” said Jeff Goodman, ESPN college basketball insider. “It’s just a matter of time before he breaks through and gets to a Final Four. You have to remember what he took over and had to rebuild at Arizona. It was a disaster when he took over. He rebuilt it and has been able to sustain it.”

Miller’s path to one of the top-tier head coaching gigs in the game of college basketball wasn’t the prototypical route.

“While everybody else was playing Frisbee or Wiffle ball, he was dribbling the ball around the block,” said Doug Tammaro, Miller’s childhood friend. “His work ethic was always above everybody else’s.”

Miller attended Blackhawk High School, where his father coached. The school’s biggest rival was Ellwood City, where Tammaro played.

“It’s kind of overlooked how good of a high school player he was,” Tammaro said. “He was a guy that when he crossed half court, we double teamed him. We made him give up the ball.”

In his playing days at the University of Pittsburgh from 1987-1992, he averaged 10 points per game along with nearly six assists. Miller was known for his famous assist on the backboard-shattering “Send it in, Jerome,” dunk in 1988 and

was the Big East Rookie of the Year in 1987.

Miller then served as an assistant coach under then-Xavier head coach Thad Matta, then-Miami University, Ohio head coach Herb Sendek and then-Pittsburgh head coach Ralph Willard, before taking over the Xavier head coach position after Matta left.

The person who gave Miller his start in coaching was none other than the person whom he would see as his biggest rival in the Pac-12 Conference: Sendek.

“I’m really proud of what he’s been able to do and the way he’s been able to do it,” Sendek said. “When you are competing, I never looked at it as me going against coach Miller. He was coaching his team and I was coaching my team. We were both trying to put our teams in the best position to win.”

Sendek and Miller had much in common before their coaching days. Both grew up in Pittsburgh and their fathers were both star basketball coaches.

“Sean Miller is the complete and total package,” Sendek said. “He is [a] great CEO of a basketball program, he’s a tremendous recruiter and an outstanding coach. If you want to break down the coaching further, he does a fantastic job of developing players as well as preparing his team and putting them in the best possible position to win.”

DeCourcy has known Miller for nearly 40 years. He saw Miller for the first time as an adolescent. At the age of 11 or 12 years old, Miller performed his ball handling and shooting exhibition at halftime at a high school all-star game and then made 12 to 15 long jump shots in a row.

“It was staggering to watch,” DeCourcy said. “He was just a little kid.”

That same little kid would showcase his basketball dribbling talents on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” at the age of 14.

Emotions on the sideline For Miller, the 2015-2016 season has been a roller coaster ride and he has been known to always speak his mind to players, coaches and referees.

“I remember watching him in a game as a head coach for

the first time, and I did not see that coming,” DeCourcy said.

“When he got angry, I did not know he had that in him. I knew he was going to be a terrific coach. He was too smart and too determined and worked too hard. When I saw that, I was even more convinced that he would be extraordinary.”

Arizona fans will always remember the infamous words “he touched the ball,” the court storming tirade and the Kaleb Tarczewski fiasco. There’s little question that intensity is reflected in his coaching style.

“It’s from his playing days,” Goodman said. “He can’t turn it off. I was talking to his brother Archie and he said that he can’t talk to Sean after a loss.”

This coaching style means Miller demands “competitive toughness” from his players both on and off the court.

“Sean’s core values, if you look at his time at Xavier and at Arizona, the first thing that comes up is that you are going to play tough,” DeCourcy said. “That’s not changing and that’s not negotiable. That is the core of who he is as a coach: competitive toughness. That’s reflected in sometimes him pushing hard like he did in Kaleb in the Oregon game. He’s not backing off just because it’s convenient for you.”

Much of Miller’s conservatism and privacy toward the media stems from his father’s practices.

“I think he is protective of what he will and won’t say,” DeCourcy said. “That idea comes from his father. Being careful about what you say and when. He has a point to make, he makes it [as] clearly as possible so there isn’t any room for interpretation.”

A Player’s Program The phrase “a player’s program” means something different to each player that walks on to the floor of McKale Center.

In 2011, Miller’s mantra became that of Arizona men’s basketball to reflect the past, present and future.

Former walk-on forward Eric Conklin, who transferred after his freshman season, described Miller’s persona on the sidelines as the “best competitor in the gym.”

“He holds his players to such a high standard. You have to bring your A-game to every practice or else you get exposed

and you get taken care of by coach Miller,” Conklin said. “You come in and you work your butt off until you can’t work harder. ... He demands a lot of respect from you, but where he differs from other coaches is that he gives you that respect.”

Former Wildcat and Detroit Pistons small forward Stanley Johnson credits Miller and his time at Arizona for his success in the NBA today.

“Even though I was already a talented player, he challenged me to get better every day, despite my short time in Tucson,” Johnson said. “Team-wise, I had to learn how to play the right away, emphasizing the defense concept.”

That team attitude and toughness is what Miller is all about. Longtime Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen noticed it after Arizona’s two straight losses on the road against Utah and Colorado late in Pac-12 play this season.

“He was more upset than any of the fans were,” Hansen said. “He was more upset than any of the players. I think that, to me, is what’s most strong about the future. The standard is so high.”

During Thursday’s matchup against No. 25 Cal, Miller turned to his stand-out senior Gabe York to hit the gamewinning 3-pointer. Miller then turned to the crowd and threw his hands in the air to signify the victory.

“It’s just a great mind like coach Miller that can drop a play like that in 25 seconds,” York said.

The season has had its ups and downs, but Miller still challenges each player to consistently get better.

“He doesn’t have any empty boxes. You get to check them all,” Sendek said. “Other coaches may excel in one or a few of those areas. Rarely do you meet somebody that really excels in every aspect of our profession.”

THEIR FINAL GOODBYES

BY JUSTIN SPEARS

Senior Night is upon us as the Wildcats prepare to take on Stanford before heading to Las Vegas for the Pac-12 Tournament

The Daily Wildcat

Jacob Hazzard

Take one look at Jacob Hazzard with his flat-top fade and you’d think you just bumped into New Orleans Pelicans point guard Norris Cole. Hazzard, however, isn’t just known as a Cole doppelganger.

His role on the Arizona team is more than meets the eye.

Hazzard is a walk-on who has been a part of some of the most iconic Miller squads. He made a run to the Sweet 16 his freshman season and had two Elite Eight appearances.

To think everyday in practice for four years he matched up with Mark Lyons, Nick Johnson, T.J. McConnell, Gabe York or Kadeem Allen—not too shabby a list of players.

“He has really fulfilled his role as the best we could ever hoped when you bring somebody to your program in a non-scholarship way,” Miller said. “There are many, many days he practices two and a half hours harder than anybody because he’s a part of the scout team and the red-blue group.”

Gabe York

York didn’t see much playing time his freshman season. He averaged 5.8 minutes per game and less than three points.

Rather than taking the easy way out and transferring, the combo guard honored the process at Arizona. York finally received the leadership role he’s been holding his breath for and has averaged 14.3 points per game in his senior campaign. York is also shooting a career best 41 percent from the 3-point line.

“Guys like Gabe York don’t become seniors in one program anymore, because they had it so tough at the beginning, not playing, that they don’t stick it out, they leave,” Miller said. “You look at him now as a senior, again an all-conference type of player having the best year of his career.”

Mark Tollefsen

Tollefsen is arguably the most notable player to come out of the University of San Francisco since Bill Russell in 1956.

Actually, Russell will probably remain the guy to come out of USF, but Tollefsen’s transferring to a program like Arizona allowed him to finally blossom into a role that Miller needed after losing four players to the NBA. “Mark’s done a great job for us, he really has,” Miller said. “He’s been key in several big wins and one of the keys moving forward is to get more out of him and let him play with more confidence because he has such a versatile game and helps us in a lot of different ways.”

Kaleb Tarczewski

Tarczewski will take the floor one last time in McKale Center Saturday and has a special place in head coach Sean Miller’s heart. In the final stretch of the season, Miller pushed Tarczewski to leave behind a memorable legacy.

This season, Tarczewski averaged nine rebounds per game compared to 5.2 rebounds last season. If Tarczewski plays his cards right and the Wildcats make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, he will go down as the all-time winner at Arizona.

“I have a hard time believing that there won’t be a team out of the 30 in the NBA that wouldn’t love to have him in that role that he can bring to the table, and that is an intelligent, big guy who is a great defensive player, a physical rebounder and the ultimate winner,” Miller said. “We’ve butted heads for four years, but in a way, it’s what also brings us together because we have a lot of similarities ...”

Ryan Anderson

The Boston College transfer proved his presence with the program in a timely manner. In his last season, the forward posts double-doubles like he’s working at In-N-Out Burger. Anderson averages 15.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.

His scoring is tied for eighth with UCLA’s Bryce Alford and his rebounding is second in the conference behind Washington State University’s Josh Hawkinson.

“I used ‘God send’ the other day and I really mean it,” Miller said. “I don’t know where our team would be without him … his leadership on and off the court is invaluable.”

highlight. I was just playing and I didn’t even know what was going on,” Hazzard said. “The reaction from my teammates was hilarious and all the texts and stuff I got was crazy.”

For his team moments, beating Duke two years ago at Madison Square Garden ranks among the top for Hazzard, as well as the road victory over Michigan that same season.

“We were the No. 1 team in the country at the time and being down the whole game and finally coming back in the last five minutes,” Hazzard said. “I was stressed.”

As Hazzard’s final games in McKale Center approach, he has been reminiscing about some of the great games he was a part of here, including the Wildcats’ victory over Florida three years ago after a Mark Lyons layup at the buzzer.

“I’ll go back on YouTube now and watch a game from two years and be watching the bench and look at myself and think ‘I’m going nuts,’” Hazzard said. “It’s always fun to look back.”

When he does get a couple minutes of playing time, Hazzard said it can get a little nervewracking.

“Especially if it’s been awhile, I’ll be like, ‘I’m about to go in for the next two minutes. Am I in shape to run up and down right now?’” Hazzard said. “... I think about all the little things. Don’t mess up. Don’t turn the ball over. Once I get in the game I’m fine.”

Through all of these memories, ups and downs that he has experienced during his time at Arizona, Hazzard said he can’t complain about what he’s gotten to see and do.

“I’m going to look back and always remember these games and times. It definitely makes me appreciate the game in a totally different way,” Hazzard said. “It humbles you because you don’t play as much and still being a very good team and getting as far as I’ve gotten without playing is kind of surreal and remarkable.”

And as his career in McKale comes to a close, everyone wants to see JaKobe freed once again.

“The dopest thing would be if I got to be in the [introductions].” Hazzard said. “Get my own little thing, see my highlights on there would be sick, just because I’ve never seen it before.”

R

With about 10 minutes to go in Arizona’s blowout victory over ASU on Feb. 17, the Wildcats were already up 29 and a certain buzz was making its way through the crowd.

There was one thing on everyone’s mind that seemed to outweigh the massive victory coming Arizona’s way: Free JaKobe.

JaKobe is the nickname of Jacob Hazzard, the flat-top rocking hype man and fan favorite who h a s been a key component to the Arizona men’s basketball team since he first stepped on as a walk-on four years ago. He got the nickname after shooting about 30 times during one of the first open gyms with the team.

“I was trying to prove myself,” Hazzard said. “I wasn’t making all these shots and everyone was like, ‘Who is this dude?’ and it was hilarious. So ever since then, they called me ‘JaKobe.’”

The 22-year-old from Los Angeles played basketball at Loyola High School. He started playing three years on the varsity squad and averaged 12.3 points a game his senior year. He also played alongside current UA point guard Parker JacksonCartwright.

Coming to Arizona as a walkon wasn’t the easiest transition for Hazzard because he was so used to starting and playing in high school.

“My freshman year I definitely had some tough times, especially in the first couple of months,” Hazzard said. “You think you can always earn your playing time and maybe work your way into getting some minutes. When you come here you realize that’s really not going to happen because the talent is so high and so competitive here.”

Hazzard joined the team

the same year as Kaleb Tarczewski, Gabe York, Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett. This was one of Arizona head coach Sean Miller’s most impressive recruiting classes.

Hazzard’s time on the team has been spent as a member of the scout team. According to Hazzard, the team runs through the opposing team’s sets for about 15 minutes before each practice to give the players an idea of what it looks like. Throughout practice, they run drills against players and simulate what could happen in a game.

“Jacob has been invaluable to all four teams he’s been a part of,” Miller said. “He has really fulfilled his role as best as we could ever hope when you bring somebody into your program in a nonscholarship way.”

With this scout work, Hazzard learned an incredible amount of plays and sets run by other teams.

“It’s crazy how many plays I know,” Hazzard said. “I’ll be watching other teams on TV and know they weren’t running that two years ago.”

Hazzard never had to look far to find his idol growing up. His grandfather, Walt Hazzard, was a former NCAA champion for the UCLA Bruins and NBA All-Star in 1968 for the Seattle Super Sonics. His uncle, Rasheed Hazzard, is currently an assistant coach for the New York Knicks.

“Because I knew someone in my family had made it to the NBA, it made it seem kind of possible,” Hazzard said. “Basketball in my family was very prominent. Those two especially kind of pushed me to play basketball and I’ve been around it my whole life, so it came naturally.”

ASU was the last matchup in which Hazzard saw playing time. He appeared in six games this season and scored in four of them.

Hazzard is studying arts, media and entertainment, and has considered going into sports journalism in the future, as well as finding a career in coaching.

With a résumé that includes a Sweet 16, backto-back Elite Eight appearances, two regular season conference championships and a Pac12 Tournament title, Hazzard’s list of favorite moments is a long one. His favorite personal moment was against Colorado two years ago, when he scored five points and dished an assist for a Matt Korcheck dunk.

“That would definitely be the personal moment

Wildcats upset Ducks in tourney

BY Ryan Kelapire

The Daily Wildcat

The No. 11-seeded Arizona women’s basketball team will live to play another day as it upset the No. 6-seeded Oregon Ducks 74-68 in the opening round of the Pac-12 Conference Tournament.

“It’s March,” Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. “Anything can happen in March.”

LaBrittney Jones scored a season-high 26 points, while Malena Washington and Breanna Workman each had 14 points of their own, as the Wildcats withstood a fourthquarter Oregon run on the way to the victory.

“They did it together,” Butts said. “They stayed together even on the bench, even when Oregon made their run and so I’m proud of this group.”

After outscoring the Ducks 22-7 in the second quarter, the Wildcats held a 12-point lead heading into halftime. After Jones scored eight of her 26 points in the third quarter and Workman hit a 3-pointer right before the buzzer, Arizona’s lead would remain the same heading into the final quarter.

The Ducks, however, would heat up in the fourth quarter, scoring 28 points, and would slowly chip away at Arizona’s lead.

A layup and two free throws by Maite Cazorla would cut the Wildcats’ lead to 67-

62 with three minutes and 13 seconds left.

Jacinta Vandenberg would then tack on another pair of free throws a minute later to make it a 67-64 game.

The Wildcats had trouble closing out games this season, blowing a five-point lead with a minute to go on Senior Day a couple of weeks ago. That wouldn’t be the case this time, however.

“Me, [Jones] and [Washington] stayed calm for the rest of our team,” Workman said.

“We didn’t get too frantic or worried about it. [We] kept running the offense, keep doing the things we needed to do, keep pushing at them.”

The team hit five of its six free-throw attempts down the stretch and got the stops it needed to seal the victory over the Ducks.

“We did it with our defense at the end,” Butts said. “We were able to make enough plays and we were able to get some production offensively. I’m so proud of our group for playing tough today.”

It was announced Tuesday that Butts won’t be returning to the program next season. The players found this to be a perfect opportunity to show their gratitude for their soon-to-bedeparting head coach,and they capitalized.

“She did a lot for us and that’s the best way to show our appreciation is to get this win,” Workman said.

Jones also said since the team is aware this is the coaching staff’s last time, the team “wanted to give it our all for them.”

For Butts, it was her chance to thank the UA. “I’m happy to be here for as long as I can,” Butts said. “I want to take this opportunity where I have a national audience to say thanks to everybody at Arizona, from our fans, to the [athletic director], to administration. Those people have been fantastic to me and I am so grateful, extremely humbled and blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of something special. … I will tell everybody that will listen to me that it’s a great place.”

Meanwhile, the season will continue for at least one more game: A matchup against the No. 3-seeded UCLA Bruins on Friday at 3 p.m.

“The idea in March is to win the game in front of you,” Butts said. “We took care of Oregon today … we get the opportunity to play against UCLA and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”

UCLA beat Arizona when the two teams squared off earlier in the season but, as Butts said, anything can happen in March.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE PLANTS Discover UA’s secret plantry: the Arboretum on campus offers tours highlighting the variety of plants on campus

BY TAYLOR BRESTEL

ARTS & LIFE

March 4-6, 2016 • Page 17

The Daily Wildcat

You won’t be-leaf how many neat plants you can see on campus.

While spring may not officially begin until March 20, campus plants are springing into action early. Most people don’t know that many edible plants grow on the UA campus.

The Campus Arboretum began in 2002 and “was established to preserve, curate and enhance this extensive collection,” according to the arboretum’s website.

The arboretum gives tours throughout the semester, including a tour of the edible plants on campus. Carol Brown, who has worked for the arboretum for about a year, gave one of these tours to a group of students.

“There’s lots of things in the desert to eat,” Brown said.

The first edible plant we came across was the Prosopis alba, commonly known as an Argentine mesquite, across from the Social Sciences building.

At first glance, it looked like a regular tree, but people can grind the pods up to make mesquite flour.

The wood can also be used to add flavor while barbecuing.

Another plant, Moringa oleifera, or the horseradish tree, grows between the Forbes building and Herring Hall. The leaves contain vitamin C, calcium, vitamin A, potassium and protein.

“It’s kind of a miracle species because almost every part of the plant is edible,” Brown said.

There’s only one problem with growing this plant on campus: It’s frost-sensitive. Brown told the group that in 2011, a frost nearly killed many campus plants, and almost killed the horseradish tree.

If you’re ever trying to determine whether to eat a plant, check the fruits.

“Fruits and flowers are our main way to identify plants because they’re unique to the species,” Brown said.

Many different types of plants find their homes in the Women’s Plaza of Honor and the surrounding areas.

One of them is a eucalyptus tree, which towers over the buildings.

Eucalyptus originated in Australia.

According to Brown, it is the largest family of trees in the world.

HUMANS WEREN’T the only ones who made it to the moon and back. The seeds of this Sycamore tree, called the Moon Tree, were taken to the moon by astronaut Stuart Roosa.

“There are Eucalyptus that fill almost every niche in a forest,” Brown said.

The most interesting part of the tour was when everyone got to taste an edible plant. Calamondin trees, also found in the Women’s Plaza of Honor, produce small orange citrus fruits. Although it is difficult to reach them because the trees are several feet tall, the rewards proved worth it.

The small fruit is eaten whole by simply popping it into your mouth.

While the initial taste is sour, the flavor grows on you after eating a few.

Brown described the taste of the Calamondin as “a cross between a lemon and a kumquat.”

One can also not forget the olive trees that incessantly drop olives on the sidewalks of James E. Rogers Way. They are European olive trees

and are edible on their own, but they can produce olive oil as well.

For more information on campus plants, look for the little signs under the plants and check out the interactive online plant map and arboretum.arizona.edu/tree_tours for more info.

Explore Arizona’s greatest views with these five hiking locations

BY ERNESTO FIERRO-LAREDO The Daily Wildcat

One of the things that makes our state unique—other than the unbearable 90-plus-degree temperatures—is the fact that Arizona possesses some of the best hiking destinations in the Southwest.

“Though it sometimes gets written off as a monotonous desert, Arizona is an extremely diverse state with fantastic and surprising natural wonders,” said Connor Swanson, a nursing junior.

From steeply inclined locations such as the Grand Canyon to more beginner friendly destinations like the Atascosa Mountains, Arizona possesses a geographically diverse area with hiking destinations suited for every individual.

Without further ado, here are the top five hiking destinations in Arizona:

1. Grand Canyon At number one is no surprise: the Grand Canyon, the first location that comes to mind for tourists and Arizona natives alike. Stretching over 277 miles with an average depth of 6,093 feet, the Grand Canyon is one of the most challenging hiking destinations, even for the avid hiker.

Options vary for those who want to hike during the day.

The Rim trail offers great views of the inner canyon and is suited for those with little to no hiking experience.

The Bright Angel trail, on the other hand, stretches for more than 12 miles all the way to the Colorado River. The Grand Canyon National Park advises that visitors and hikers do not attempt hiking down to the river and back in the same day.

2. Humphreys Peak

3. Camelback Mountain

An article regarding the top five hiking destinations in Arizona would not be complete without acknowledging the tallest mountain in the state. At 12,633 feet, Humphreys Peak remains the highest natural point in the state of Arizona. The main trail, known as Humphreys Peak trail, leads to the summit and follows a gradual climb before turning into a more strenuous and difficult hike. Along the trail, hikers will come upon flowercovered meadows before reaching a dense forest. The trail length is approximately 4.5 miles to the summit, and hikers are advised to only attempt this trail during the months of June to October. The winter season generates low temperatures and heavy snow on the trail.

Camelback is one of the most moderate hiking areas in Arizona. Located in Phoenix, Camelback Mountain is a popular destination for urban hikers who want to admire the beauty overlooking the sixth largest metropolis in the nation. An average of 300,000 hikers climb Camelback Mountain every year. Since the mountain offers four different trails with varying levels of difficulty, hikers will have an easier time ascending the summit.

4. Mount Wrightson Located in southern Arizona in the Santa Rita Mountains, Mount Wrightson is one of the most popular hiking regions in the Tucson vicinity. At 9,453 feet, Mount Wrightson stands out to desert dwellers and local hikers. Two main trails lead to the mountain summit. The Super trail follows a 14-mile journey to the summit and has a south-facing slope. The other trail, Old Baldy, follows a steeper but shorter route to the top, making it the more popular option out of the two trails.

5. Picacho Peak Located between Tucson and Casa Grande, Arizona, Picacho Peak is the most unique destination in Arizona because of its isolated desert peak. Unlike the previous hiking locations, Picacho Peak does not have a traditional route to the summit. Along the way, hikers rely on the use of steel cables and handrails for hand-over-hand climbing.

Despite such a treacherous hike, the summit offers a stunning 360-degree view of the Sonoran Desert.

Information about these and other trails in Arizona can be found at luxeadventuretraveler. com.

Get inspired by these trendy Wildcats

BY MARIEL BUSTAMANTE The Daily Wildcat

March comes with things college students love most, such as March Madness and spring break.

I went around to check out how my fellow Wildcats transitioned their winter outfits into fun, springtime attire.

Bruna Messeder, an undeclared freshman, sported a striped T-shirt dress with white hightop Converse. She accented the outfit with a top-knot bun, a two-toned tote and bigrimmed lilac purple shades. The purple and white in Messeder’s outfit made it a perfect transition outfit because it stayed true to winter with its black coloring.

Michelle Sanchez, a communications freshman, and Alina Andrade, an art education freshman, knew just how to welcome the

spring weather with their cute and casual outfits.

Sanchez rocked a simple, black V-neck tee with high-wasted, lightwashed shorts and black Birkenstocks. Birks, a wardrobe essential, offer an array of styles beyond the classic Arizona style.

We couldn’t resist taking a picture of Andrade’s unique outfit.

Her dark-washed overalls reflected winter colors, as did her threequarter-sleeved shirt, but her spunky hat and shoes stress the creativity spring has to offer.

Max Sheff, a freshman studying urban and regional development, and Calvin Murnick, an undeclared freshman, were spotted hanging out at the Student Union Memorial Center, looking fly in their casual

spring outfits. Sheff wore a faded gray T-shirt with dark jeans and St. Laurent shades, which added the perfect touch to his outfit.

His Comme Des Garçons Converse made a great addition to the overall style.

Murnick also looked cool with his white crewneck tee, black skinny jeans and Adidas Stan Smiths. This go-to outfit is perfect for either spring break or a casual day at the UA. Ali Blank, a communications sophomore, wore a rustic, orange dress with brown Arizona-style Birkenstocks. Blank accentuated her outfit with a cute, half-up topknot.

This effortless outfit turned heads with its aesthetic and simplicity. All you need for a todie-for spring closet is a variety of dresses,

BECK KID CUDI

cute sandals and sneakers like Vans or Adidas Stan Smiths.

As usual, UA students never fail when it comes to dressing cute while in school.

Getting dressed in the morning doesn’t have to be a hassle with spring essentials like dresses, sandals, sneakers and a statement piece.

Dressing is an art that expresses personality through style.

Don’t be afraid to be original, Wildcats.

UA students support Frank Underwood for Prez

BY CHLOE DURAND The Daily Wildcat

Acclaimed political drama and Netflix original series “House of Cards” officially returns Friday.

The end of season three left viewers with a cliffhanger, which revealed that Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) had left her husband, Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey), in the midst of his presidential campaign.

Simultaneously, Frank’s chief of staff, Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly), murdered Rachel Posner (Rachel Brosnahan), a former prostitute linked to one of Frank’s season one schemes.

Unlike previous seasons that showcased Claire and Frank manipulating their way to the top of the political system, season three centered around the dissolution of the Underwoods’ marriage. All this while Frank also dealt with opponents during his bid for the presidency. His main adversary was his Democrat primary contestant Heather Dunbar (Elizabeth Marvel).

Many of his former allies, such as previous chief of staff Remy Danton (Mahershala Ali) and House Majority Whip Jackie Sharp (Molly Parker), no longer support Frank after growing tired of his manipulation.

Leading up to season four, Frank relied heavily on others to do his dirty work for

him. After continually burning bridges left and right, it will be interesting to see how he maneuvers now to fulfill his goals. A key plot line to look out for in season four is who will become Frank’s new political henchman on his path to power.

Many students across the UA are excited for the return of season four. They’ve been

eagerly anticipating the Underwoods’ return since season three premiered Feb. 27, 2015.

“I can’t wait for season four for ‘House of Cards,’” said Matthew Rein, a political science freshman. “The show is an absolute masterpiece and it will be a pleasure to see Kevin Spacey resume the role of Frank Underwood for another season. #FU2016.”

The #FU2016 Rein mentioned is the marketing strategy for season four of “House of Cards.” Netflix’s marketing team even released an advertisement for Frank Underwood featuring the #FU2016. While Frank’s initials are “FU,” the initials also underscore Frank’s absolute “FU” attitude toward everyone in life. His official campaign video features classic American patriotic symbols including sweeping landscapes, military veterans and the American flag.

While the marketing campaign was a hit, many students watch the show because of the immense entertainment value its corrupt politics offers. “‘House of Cards’ turns the political system and gives us the real side,” said Marlon Freeman, a freshman studying nutrition and Spanish. “Even though fictional people get caught up in the story, [I] feel like their political twist and turns are actual strategies real political figures use.

The show is always entertaining and there is a great balance of drama and politics.”

Whether you tune in to root for or against Frank, be sure to catch the fourth season of “House of Cards,” available for streaming now on Netflix.
