University of Arizona Police Department Cmdr. Brian Seastone was appointed to the position of chief of police for UAPD on Saturday.

His appointment as chief was announced in a press release from the office of UA President Ann Weaver Hart on Monday.

Seastone previously served in UAPD administration as the UA’s Emergency Preparedness manager and as part of the UA’s Campus Emergency Response team.

He also provides training on the National Incident Management System and Incident Command System for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State of Arizona Department of Emergency Management.

Seastone earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University, according to the press release. In 2003, he completed the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy training course.

Greg Byrne, athletic director, said the committee to find candidates for chief was formed by Hart and James Hyatt, UA interim senior vice president for business affairs and chief financial officer, following former police chief Anthony Daykin’s retirement announcement in August 2013.

Byrne, who headed the selection committee, said that during the selection process, Seastone’s name came up multiple times. Byrne said that each time the committee spoke to Seastone, he was able to communicate ideas to make UAPD stronger. Seastone’s affiliation with the UA was a

ith two weekends of games to go until Selection Sunday, Arizona men’s basketball is sitting pretty.

While the Wildcats clinched the

Pac-12 Conference championship outright with two games remaining in the regular season, they still have plenty to play for.

Currently, Arizona is a consensus No. 1 seed in the Western region in the recent projections by ESPN, USA Today, CBS Sports and NBC Sports.

With two wins this week in the Beaver State, the Wildcats will likely assure themselves of a No. 1 seed. You don’t have to be a math

major to know that the easiest road to the Final Four belongs to the No. 1 seeds.

Arizona travels well: “U of A” chants can be heard pretty much everywhere the Wildcats play. A fan was even spotted on ESPN wearing a Dirtbag’s shirt in Madison Square Garden during Arizona’s Nov. 29 victory over then-No. 6 Duke in New York City.

SUSAN FERRELL was legal services adviser at the UA for 21 years.

University administrators are working directly with students as they begin to create a new model for guaranteed tuition.

Members of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona presented an update on their Guaranteed Tuition campaign at the Faculty Senate meeting on Monday.

ASUA launched the initiative two weeks ago, pushing for a tuition model in which students can expect same tuition for four years.

James Hyatt, UA interim senior vice president for business affairs and chief financial officer, has already started to model this year’s tuition based on the guaranteed tuition model.

Students would likely pay more for their first two years on a set tuition model than on the current model to make up for predicted increases, Hart said.

A set tuition model would help the university’s retention rate and help motivate students to graduate in four years, said Garrett Voge, ASUA government affairs and policy director. Guaranteed tuition would also help students make long-term plans when taking out loans or looking for a job as they start their freshman year, Voge added.

“Tuition prices have been volatile in the past,” Voge said. “We just don’t think that’s fair, if you’ve already been in school for a couple of years that your tuition changes so drastically.”

Northern Arizona University adopted a similar tuition model called PLEDGE, where freshmen who started in the fall of 2013 were guaranteed a set tuition for four consecutive years. The state is also considering fixed tuition as an option for all public university students in Arizona with House Bill 2244, which was introduced in January. Voge said ASUA is not

through communication.”

The memorandum doesn’t change the structure of either organization, Abraham said, but clarifies the powers and duties of both.

“All this does is it strengthens GPSC’s structure and their ability to represent and advocate for graduate students,” Abraham said.

Brooks said the recognition GPSC is receiving from ASUA as the primary advocate for graduate and professional students will improve advocacy abilities for both groups

The Residence Hall Association, the representative body of students who live in residence halls, also voted to support the initiative, and the online petition had almost 1,000 signatures as of Monday afternoon, Voge added.

Hart also updated the Faculty Senate on where the UA stands in its effort to get more

in representing the student body.

“For ASUA, I think it helps give them the absolute best partner they could have in a lot of their advocacy issues,” Brooks said. “We’re dealing with a lot of similar stuff as graduates and undergraduates. …

Together, we need to work on those things.”

The agreement should help students understand the functions of both clubs and how they work for the student population, said Taylor Ashton, a political science junior and chief of staff for ASUA .

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 5 — Play fair or the victory is worthless.

funding for the university in the state budget this year. The goal is to include the UA’s requested $15 million in the budget proposal before the budget is voted on.

The president urged senate members to take any opportunity they have to remind state government leaders of the importance of this funding to the UA as it moves forward with its academic strategic plan, which focuses on research growth and student engagement in the community. The UA requested $15 million to support the strategic plan and has gained the support of the Arizona Board of Regents, which mirrored the request in its funding recommendation.

Sen. Andrew Silverman asked Hart about Gov. Jan Brewer’s stance on adding funding for the UA to the state budget. Since the governor presented her budget proposal, Hart said, she has made it clear that there isn’t any more money to be allocated to the UA. Gaining support from other state leaders to add UA funding to the budget will be key in obtaining the $15 million, she added.

“She was really honest with me about that,” Hart said. “There’s no way we’re going to get … the governor to come out and say, ‘Oops, my budget was wrong; I changed my mind.’”

Ashton said the memorandum will also provide guidance for the organizations on how to do their jobs and effectively work with one another through meetings between the two presidents.

“We both work on our separate projects and initiatives, and I think what it’s going to do is facilitate more room for collaboration,” Ashton said. “Having those meetings periodically throughout the semester is going to allow for us to know what they’re doing and for them to see what we’re doing.”

THE DAILY WILDCAT

The ASUA Senate passed the memorandum unanimously during a recent senate meeting, Abraham said, and the two organizations are already looking to the future.

“It’s important for future years to come … that ASUA and GPSC are working together,” Abraham said, “and they’re both on the same page, and they’re not fighting or bickering or going back and forth anymore.”

UA promotes spring break safety

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

A resource fair reminding students to “Stay Safe, Stay Smart, and Stay Alive” over spring break this March will be held on the UA Mall this Wednesday.

The Spring Break Safety Fair is an annual event to inform students about all of the resources that are available to them while they are traveling during spring break. It will be hosted by the University of Arizona Police Department, the Student Health Advocacy Committee, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Parents and Family Association.

“This event is supposed to connect the student body to the resources available all around campus and their spring break destinations,” said Stephanie Kha, director of SHAC. Everything from general health and wellness advice to emergency contact numbers for the U.S. Consulate will be available. UA organizations that will be present include Campus Health Service and the Women’s Resource Center, which will each have its own table offering information about what is available to students during their travels this season.

“We want to make students aware that there are resources available, and that they have access to them if they need them over break,” said Jose Bermudez, UAPD crime prevention officer.

popular spring break destination — especially Rocky Point, given its close proximity — agencies based in Mexico will be present as well, according to Bermudez. These agencies will include the U.S. Consulate to Mexico, the Office of Tourism and Visitor Assistance in Rocky Point, the Sonoran Department of Tourism and Customs and Border Protection.

In addition to information tables, there will be giveaways, food and beverages at the fair, including pizza, cotton candy,

popcorn and snow cones. There will also be a limited number of “bro tanks” given away for those who arrive when the event starts, said Sherri Freedman, program coordinator of ASUA. Students will also be able to partake in a DUI driving simulation activity. Students will drive a golf cart in a sober state and will then try it while wearing “beer goggles” that impair vision and ultimately simulate driving under the influence of alcohol, Bermudez said.

“That was a positive thing for him, to have an understanding of our university and campus environment, as well as having worked as part of a college police department,” Byrne said.

Taylor Ashton, a political science junior and an ASUA presidential candidate, was part of the search committee.

Ashton said that Hart worked

“We do represent the student body, and we’re trying to make sure that our student body remains safe and responsible through spring break because they are representing the university at all times,” Freedman said. “No matter where you go, you are representing the university, and we want to make sure students are respectful and get home safely.”

Sgt. Fil Barrera, public information officer for UAPD, has worked with Seastone since 1998. He said that students should anticipate improvements to the department. Barrera said that Seastone has more than 30 years of experience and that he has held almost every position in the department.

“He is definitely a leader,” Barrera said. “He definitely knows campus law enforcement. He is also very skilled in emergency management, preparation and recovery.”

As police chief, Seastone will report to Hyatt. His responsibilities as chief will relate to his earlier work with emergency preparedness, as well as participation in the UA Executive Policy Group.

other than “making pamphlets and a website,” she helped the program grow over the past 20 years by meeting with students and helping them work through their problems.

A typical day for Ferrell consisted of meeting with around eight to 10 students and advising them on issues ranging from landlord troubles to misdemeanor criminal charges.

“Sometimes, I’ve felt guilty because it’s so easy to feel good just by giving people information,” she said.

According to Ferrell, the most common legal issue she counseled students on was criminal misdemeanor charges due to underage drinking. In underage drinking cases, students must go through a standard process to take care of the ticket. No college student wants to go through hiring a lawyer to guide them through the process, and that is where Ferrell came in.

“I can spend 10 or 15 minutes talking to that student and explaining that process … and they just feel better,” she said.

Ferrell also created an FAQ page on the ASUA website to answer the most common questions regarding misdemeanor charges.

With an office located in the heart of the ASUA offices on the third level of the Student Union Memorial Center, Ferrell also credited her years of success at the university to the UA’s environment of dedicated students.

“When I started working here, I didn’t know if I’d like working with college students because I hadn’t been around them in so long,” Ferrell said. “I was so pleasantly surprised by how involved, smart, hardworking, responsible and creative they are.”

Ferrell said that she cares for each student and that she does feel a bit “parental.”

“It is completely gratifying because I get to sit here and give people advice and make them feel better, for the most part,” Ferrell said.

Ferrell said she is not sure what she will do during retirement.

“I’ve not allowed myself to make any plans because I don’t know what I’m going to feel like doing when I’m no longer working,” Ferrell said.

A sign posted next to the front desk in the ASUA offices notifies students that Student Legal Services will be at a standstill until the university hires a new adviser, making it clear that Ferrell’s shoes will be hard to fill.

“I feel really lucky to have had this job,” she said.

Significant social and health outcomes from bingeing over time may include lost productivity, compromise of academic and relationship success, psychiatric problems, chronic cardiac and liver diseases, increased risk of cancers of the mouth, esophagus, colon and breast, GI problems, neurological conditions, fetal alcohol syndrome, etc.

So, getting back to “casual” binge drinking... yes, you can binge infrequently. However, because you are consuming larger amounts of alcohol over a short amount of time, it is never without risk.

To “casually” binge drink is an oxymoron as the drinking style of binging always increases the possibility of negative consequences.

Therefore, there is nothing “casual” about binging, even infrequently.

The erotic equivalent would be to ask the question, is casual unprotected sex still risky? We can hear the collective, “Duh!” Immediate social and health consequences of bingeing might include violence, drama, drunk-texting, regrets, blackouts, risky sexual behaviors, STI’s, unintentional and intentional injuries, and death.

If you are going to drink, it’s better to “casually” drink and not binge by keeping your BAC% in the “sweet spot” (.05% BAC or below).

Visit the UA Campus Health Service’s Health Promotion and Preventive Services department to get a free Safer Drinking Limit Card to determine your personal “sweet spot.”

According to the CDC, the groups at highest risk for binge drinking are 18-34 years old, males, whites, non-Hispanics, and people with higher household incomes. 30% of binge drinkers are 18-24 years old.

No space, no spots, no service

BY ERIC KLUMP The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s 9 a.m., you have class in 30 minutes at the Gould-Simpson building and a parking permit for the South of Sixth lots. You should have plenty of time to make it to class. Why, then, are you white-knuckling the wheel in stress and anger?

Most likely it’s because, being a UA student, you are all too familiar with parking on campus, and hold little to no hope of making it the 1000 feet to class on time.

You meander through row after row full of cars: No empty spots.

Your only hope of parking in the lot is if you stalk a person walking back to their car.

In the end, you may get a space and get to class — it’s about as likely as having a winning lottery ticket in your pocket. In reality, you’ll probably give up and pay to park in a garage or at a meter.

This is how my mornings run, which leads me to believe that something needs to change.

Parking at the UA, like at any large institution, is not easy. There is a huge number of people that need to be here throughout the day, and the number of spaces available is limited.

It’s reasonable that, once in a while, a lot may be full and you may have to pay for parking in a different location. However, parking at the UA this past year has become the frustrating nightmare described above. Why does it have to be so bad?

Parking and Transportation Services reports that, last year, 880 parking spaces were taken from the South of Sixth, Zone 1 and lot specific parking areas, with only 100 spots added — less than one new spot for every eight demolished.

This is in large part due to the expansion of campus buildings like the Student Recreation Center.

The extension — while much appreciated — did away with 484 spots in the South of Sixth zone by eliminating the largest lot there, and zero of them were replaced.

This cut in the number of spaces available really hurts those who, like me, have to balance work and school, or those with a long commute.

“I had to get up at 6 a.m. just to get a spot,” journalism senior Jordan McMahon said, adding that parking strife eventually forced him to buy a garage permit.

Chelo Grubb, a gender and women’s studies junior, has also been inconvenienced by on-campus parking.

“If there is the slightest hiccup in my morning routine, I find it very difficult to find a spot for my morning class, because everyone is looking at the same time,” she said.

I know I’m rarely able to park in my lots, and I often feel that I paid $380 to enter a lottery for spots instead of for spot access. Usually, I am stuck parking in a garage paying between $4 and $8 per day.

I know that the Rec Center expansion and every potential alteration to parking is probably considered before it’s made, but I keep getting the impression that the math used to make these decisions is wrong, as evidenced by the worsening struggle for spaces.

Reducing the number of permits in the lots that lose spaces could be a possible solution to these issues, but that might just increase demand for permits at other lots.

A better solution would be to attempt to replenish more of the spots that are taken, either through creating more lots if room allows or creating more garages for students.

At the very least, the UA should allow permit-holding students to park in garages, but give them a reduced rate, or even — a certain amount of times — make parking free, like they do for students who have to move to garages for weeknight basketball games.

The last thing many of us need is to add paying for garage parking to our list of expenses; having fuel and parking money compete for my attention is my own personal hell.

My hope is that this issue is resolved because, as I near my wit’s end, the idea of buying a tow truck to make my own spaces seems more and more like a viable option.

ew things pull at heartstrings quite as intensely as adorable, loveable animals. Who among us hasn’t cried while watching “Bambi”? And every time I watch Mufasa fall down to the wildebeest stampede below him in “The Lion King,” I sob and sob.

Animals are wonderful, and no one wants to hear about them meeting untimely ends. As a result, it’s easy to be confused by the seemingly failed efforts to repopulate the Santa Catalina Mountains with bighorn sheep.

The Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society has been working in conjunction with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to reintroduce the sheep to the Catalinas. However, the results have not been overwhelmingly positive.

Thirteen of the 31 sheep moved from the Yuma Range to the Catalinas have died since the project began in November.

Mountain lions, the major culprits in the sheep’s deaths, are now being hunted in order to protect the project. In a similar experiment in Aravaipa Canyon, north of Tucson, 43 were killed, while so far only two lions have been hunted in the Catalinas.

As average people and fans of Disney movies, but not necessarily conservation biologists, we

make advancements as well.

Forty-three dead mountain lions sounds disturbing, but in terms of denting the population, the hunting is not significant, according to Mannan. Right now, the bighorn sheep population is much more precarious. Killing lions is certainly unpleasant, but it could be for the best if it means helping the sheep population grow.

Viewing the Catalina mountain lions as Simba’s horribly victimized, long-lost cousins is tempting, but we should refrain from anthropomorphizing science. The project is an experiment, and that’s how it should be viewed.

Reintroducing bighorns to the Catalinas may turn out to be unsuccessful in the end, but we will not know the results until the program concludes.

“We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen,” Mannan said.

“They’ll try it for two more years.

I don’t know what the outcome’s going to be; I don’t know if anybody does.”

The Catalina Sheep Reintroduction Program is still a work in progress. In the meantime, we need to remember to view science objectively. As many a fifth-grade science teacher has stated before, you should only draw conclusions after learning all the facts.

Throwing furniture

Furniture was thrown off of the second-floor patio at the UA Cancer Center sometime between 6 p.m. on Feb. 21 and 11:08 a.m. on Feb. 24.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a report of vandalism at the Cancer Center. An employee said that furniture had been thrown off of the second-floor patio.

A green wire expanded table and three green expanded steel chairs were found outside the Cancer Center.

After noticing two cameras in the area, the officer contacted University of Arizona Medical Center Security. UAMC Security said that the servers for the cameras were down and unable to record during that time period.

No suspects or witnesses were found because of the camera malfunction.

Still under arrest

A student was arrested on a charge of a warrant for possession of marijuana on Feb. 22 at 2:25 a.m.

Two UAPD officers responded to Villa del Puente Residence Hall in regards to a report of the smell of marijuana.

A resident assistant escorted the two officers to room 271 where the faint smell of marijuana was detected. A male student answered the door, and two others were inside the room with him.

The smell grew stronger as the officers entered the room, so they asked to do a search. The students allowed a search, and no marijuana was found.

The officers did a records check on the three students and found that one had a confirmed misdemeanor warrant for possession of marijuana. The student was handcuffed, searched, placed in the back of a patrol car and transported to Pima County Jail.

Check him, not me

March 5–18

Two students were arrested for stealing from the UofA Bookstore on Feb. 21 at 1:36 p.m.

A UAPD officer reported to the bookstore and was told that a male student was observed removing a $3.09 pen from its packaging and then placing it in his pocket. When approached by security, the man told security to check the camera footage for his friend stealing.

His friend was caught on camera stealing a tank top, placing it in his belt under his shirt. Both men were brought inside and identified as UA students.

They admitted to stealing and said they had no reason for doing so. They said they had made bad mistakes in the past and had arrest records.

They were both cited for shoplifting and were advised never to return to the bookstore without the approval of the dean of students.

pring football practice started Monday, giving Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez the chance to see his team in action for the first time since the AdvoCare V100 Bowl game against Boston College.

Spring practice is the first chance players get to showcase their talents and get the upper hand on earning starting roster spots. Rodriguez said it is too early to name players starters and that he doesn’t anticipate that changing.

“There is no rotation, there is no starters and there is no backups,” Rodriguez said. “They’re just all getting reps, so if you’re trying to figure that out, good luck, because I ain’t got it figured out and probably won’t until August.”

Last season’s starting quarterback, B.J. Denker, separated himself from the pack before the season and solidified the position in his senior year. However, Denker is now gone, leaving a void for the seven quarterbacks on the roster to fight over.

Of the seven quarterbacks on the roster, including redshirt junior transfer Jerrard Randall, redshirt freshman Anu Solomon, redshirt senior Jesse Scroggins and redshirt sophomore Connor Brewer, Brewer has one of the stronger chances to make an impact.

Coming out of Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., Brewer was ranked as the No. 7 quarterback and the No. 130 player overall in the 2012 class by ESPN and originally chose to attend the University of Texas over offers from Alabama, Stanford, Texas A&M and Arizona, among others.

However, his tenure at Texas didn’t last long, as he redshirted his freshman year and began his redshirt freshman season in a positional battle. Shortly after dropping down the depth chart, Brewer decided to transfer and picked Arizona as his destination.

Due to NCAA rules, Brewer had to sit out last season after transferring from Texas last July. Having the year off allowed him to learn the complex Arizona offense before taking the field for the upcoming season. Brewer will likely be one of the frontrunners for the starting position and said he is ready for the ensuing competition.

“At least from my area at quarterback, I think we have a lot of great players and a good crop to choose from,” Brewer said.

Arizona’s weekday challenge

FROM PAGE 1

Still, the UA wants to be the No. 1 seed in the West.

In the West bracket, as 1-4 seed, Arizona will get to play its second and third round games in San Diego, regardless of what bracket it is in.

If the Wildcats can stay in that West Regional, those Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games are in Anaheim, Calif. Southern California is packed with UA alumni and is a manageable road trip from Arizona.

Plus, the Wildcats played in San Diego on Nov. 14 and play in the Los Angeles area every year, so those places are familiar and more inviting than the other regions in Buffalo or Memphis.

Arizona’s outstanding resume is the reason bracketologists such as ESPN’s Joe Lunardi as of Monday have the No. 3 Wildcats as the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Quality wins: Duke (in New York City), at San Diego State, at Michigan, at UCLA

The Wildcats have a boatload of quality wins, but the top four are easily among the best in the country. While the Blue Devils, Aztecs and Wolverines are all projected to be high seeds, what will be most impressive to the selection committee is that the Wildcats beat San Diego, Michigan and UCLA on the road. Plus, the Duke game was in New York, which is considered Blue Devil territory.

Bad losses: none

UA fans may hate the idea that the Wildcats lost to ASU, but the Sun Devils have a good RPI ranking (28). California (51) is also an NCAA bubble team.

Bad losses are to teams with very low RPI. The UA just needs to avoid a loss at Oregon State (102 RPI) and possibly in the

quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament, and it won’t have any bad losses. Oregon is No. 33.

Last 12 games: 10-2

The Wildcats have been outstanding their last four games and seem to have moved past the loss of Brandon Ashley.

The committee looks for how well a team does without key players, and if the Wildcats continue to play like they did on the Rocky Mountain road trip and at home against the Bay Area schools, their road to Dallas and the Final Four will go through California.

Arizona’s résumé:

RPI: 1 Record: 27-2 Conference: 14-2 Road: 7-2 Neutral: 2-0 Home: 18-0 RPI: 1 Strength of schedule: 7 Record vs. RPI 1-25: 4-0 Record vs. RPI 26-50: 6-1 Record vs. RPI 51-100: 6-1

Fresh off an undefeated weekend, the Arizona softball team has a quick turnaround and plays Ball State in a double-header today at Hillenbrand Stadium at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

The Wildcats played most recently on Sunday and defeated Indiana 9-1 in their final game of the 2014 Wildcat Invitational.

The Wildcats finished the invitational 3-0 and outscored their opponents by a combined 26-2.

Leading the offensive charge in the middle of the batting order were junior shortstop Kellie Fox and junior catcher Chelsea Goodacre. The duo hit third and fourth in the batting order and are the top two home run=hitters on the team.

However, Ball State provides a different challenge than recent opponents, as the Cardinals are 12-2 on the season and defeated the No. 3 ASU softball 3-0 on Sunday in Tempe, Ariz. The Sun Devils were held to only six hits by Ball State sophomore pitcher Nicole Steinbach.

“They’re a good team, and they’re very competitive,” UA head coach Mike Candrea said of Ball State.

Arizona is averaging 8.3 runs per game average, and Ball State comes into today’s matchup averaging 6.9 runs per game. Interestingly, the Cardinals have only scored above 10 runs three times this season.

After a slow offensive start to the season, the ASU game is the only game in Ball State’s last seven games where the team has scored fewer than seven runs. Spearheading that offensive attack is senior pitcher/ outfielder Jennifer Gilbert. She leads

Johnson’s NBA talks are getting louder BY evan rosenfeld The Daily Wildcat

tyler baker/The Daily Wildcat

Nick Johnson (13) holds the PAC 12 championship trophy after Arizona’s 79-66 victory over Stanford in McKale on Sunday. Johnson’s NBA stock has been on the rise this season.

Arizona junior shooting guard Nick Johnson may have played his last home game in McKale Center on Sunday night.

When asked about the possibility, Johnson said that he’s not thinking about that right now. He said that it’s too far in the future and that currently, he’s only focusing on his current team’s goal of winning the 2014 NCAA National Championship.

“I really believe that we have the best fans in the country; they support you night in and night out,” Johnson said. “[Arizona] has been a great experience for me, and McKale has been really good to me in my years here.”

This year, Johnson has helped carry the No. 3 Wildcats to a Pac12 Conference title and No. 1 RPI ranking. He is currently under consideration for the Pac-12 Player of the Year and Oscar Robertson trophy award. He also stands as one of 10 Naismith trophy semi-finalists.

“To me, I would think Nick Johnson would be the leading candidate to be the Pac-12 Player

of the Year,” Miller said. “Being very realistic and respective towards him, he has had a phenomenal season. What he does on defense; he’s one of the best defensive guards in college basketball.”

Miller went on to say that from an offensive perspective, his impact is irreplaceable. Johnson is the team’s leading scorer and ever since Brandon Ashley’s foot injury, he’s played three different positions for the Wildcats and guarded a variety of different opponents.

Miller also praised Johnson’s basketball intelligence, calling him one of the team’s coaches on the court. Even when Johnson is on the bench he can been seen coaching the players on the court.

“I think it’s just growth and maturity,” Miller said “One of the things that has really changed with Nick’s game is he has the ability to score in the middle.”

Miller explained Johnson’s growth as once being a slasher and occasional 3-point shooter.

“Now, he almost has everything covered,” Miller said. “He has a floater, runner, pull up; he’s very good from two, is a better 3-point shooter and is very talented from

the basket. From an offensive perspective, he’s added something to what he does every year.”

Despite all the positive news, Miller doesn’t want to see any of his players leave for the NBA draft if they aren’t going to be a first round pick.

On Sunday, Miller brought up former Wildcat and current Indiana Pacer Solomon Hill, who returned to Tucson for his senior season in 2012 and saw his draft stock rise.

“The Pacers are invested in Solomon,” Miller said. “He’s set for at least 10 years.”

Miller said once the season ends he will help his players make the most informed decision they can make. But until the games are over the best thing he said the players can do is win and show a competitive nature.

“Johnson really had an outstanding year and really deserved in my mind to be Pac12 Player of the Year,” Miller said.

“More than anything, he is the natural leader of our team.”

Slowing down the Ball State offense will fall upon an Arizona pitching staff that has allowed only 12 runs all season, which translates to .63 runs allowed per game.

With redshirt senior pitcher Kenzie Fowler taking the circle Sunday, the burden of stopping the Cardinals will likely be placed on sophomore pitcher Nancy Bowling and senior pitcher Estela Piñon.

The duo is 7-1 on the year and has a combined 15 appearances.

“Coach just told us to make sure we’re ready,” Fowler said.

“This is kind of the midpoint of the season, and we have really good competition with Ball State coming in.”

the Arizona offense backs up the pitching staff and provides confidence when they’re on the mound. Having confidence in the team’s offense should provide Bowling and Piñon with a bit of an energy boost, knowing they have some leeway if things go wrong early.

Looking forward, Arizona will have two days off before heading to Fullerton, Calif., to participate in the Judi Garman Classic over the weekend in the team’s last nonconference action before Pac12 play begins.

“We’re just going to come out composed and excited to play the game,” Fox said. “We just need to keep on competing and stay together as a team.”

“Everybody can do something a little different.

I’m excited to go out there and compete every day and show the coaches what I can do.”

Shortly after Brewer decided to transfer to Arizona, his Texas teammate Cayleb Jones also decided to transfer and had Arizona on his shortlist. Jones ended up choosing Arizona in August of last year, over East Carolina and Oklahoma. The duo came into Texas together in the 2012 recruiting class and essentially came to Arizona together.

“Having Connor [Brewer] here is really one of the main reasons why I’m here,” Jones said. “He makes me comfortable on and off the field. There are things I don’t know yet and I’m still learning, so it’s nice to have him in my back pocket to teach me.”

Despite rotations not being set, both players are expected to be factors in what should be a different-looking offense this season. The departure of running back Ka’Deem Carey to the NFL and the newfound depth at quarterback

“It definitely motivates you, especially with all these quarterbacks,” Brewer said. “Coach is always watching, always critiquing, every time. I think it’s going to be a great competition and I’m excited and just here to separate myself.”

It may only be spring, but the Texas duo realizes Rodriguez is paying close attention to both of their positions and that they have a rare chance to make an impact early. Rodriguez finished up his post-practice comments by talking about the changes that will be seen throughout spring and fall practices.

“We thought Ka’Deem [Carey] was the best running back in the nation, so we’re going to miss that for sure,” Rodriguez said. “The intensity and enthusiasm is pretty good here. … I’m just looking for effort and execution more than anything else.”

LUNAFEST inspires women through film

BY Camille Carlin The Daily Wildcat

LUNAFEST, a showcase of short films directed by women, takes place at the Loft Cinema today.

LUNA, maker of a nutrition bar for women, created the film event in 2000 in order to raise awareness about women’s issues, highlight female filmmakers and bring women together as a community.

Proceeds from the event go to benefit the Breast Cancer Fund.

The festival travels all over North America, hosting over 150 screenings each year. LUNAFEST has featured 110 filmmakers and has raised nearly $1.9 million since its first event. The series of films is meant to inspire and entertain all audiences, even though it’s based on women’s issues and the role women play in the film industry.

“The purpose of the film festival is to highlight women filmmakers, which really isn’t done,” said Leigh Spencer, the program coordinator for the Women’s Studies Advisory Council. “It provides a well-rounded, different view of the world and covers every facet of life.”

Spencer has been hosting LUNAFEST since she first started working with WOSAC almost eight years ago.

WOSAC has hosted the showcase for the past nine years, and its LUNAFEST is one of the top 10 largest in the country.

The film shorts being showcased this year include international pieces such as “Date With Fate” by Venetia Taylor, a filmmaker from Australia, “Flying Anne” by Catherine van Campen of the Netherlands and “Running Dry” by

Claire Rifkin,

journalism sophomore What are you wearing today?

Today, I’m wearing this leopard print romper with gladiator sandals, a Balenciaga handbag, a vintage hat that I got at this vintage store in Portland and some costume jewelry.

How would you describe your personal style?

My personal style is a mix between really chic and clean things with a rocker edge. I love pairing a really feminine pink blouse with a really rugged, leather biker jacket.

Jennifer Lafleur plays Sam Cabbage in the 2011 film “Tiny Miny Magic,” which will be featured in the traveling film festival LUNAFEST. The film focuses on an ongoing gift exchange turned romance.

Dimitra Nikolopoulou from Greece.

Covering a variety of genres and topics, nine films in total will be presented at the festival. For example, the film “Granny’s Got Game” promotes doing what you love at any age, while the prominent theme in “Sidewalk” is learning to accept and love yourself and “Tiny Miny Magic” is about finding love in unlikely places.

The film festival last year had a turnout of more than 300 people. This

year, Spencer hopes that LUNAFEST will attract at least 500 guests this year.

The festival is from 7-9:30 p.m. and will include free LUNA Bars. Tickets cost $5 for students and $10 for general admission.

How to stay safe in Mexico

BY ANDREA THOMAS The Daily Wildcat

With spring break looming, it’s important to keep safety issues in mind. For those traveling to destinations south of the border, the U.S. Consulate has several recommendations.

The foremost suggestion is registering with both the website StudentsAbroad. state.gov and with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.

“No, this isn’t Big Brother tracking you,” the Students Abroad website says. “[STEP] makes it possible to contact you if necessary, whether there’s a family emergency in the United States or a crisis in the country you are visiting.”

If something does go wrong on a spring break vacation, such as an accident, a lost passport or a lost friend, the information provided when enrolled on these websites makes it easier for the consulate to assist with the situation, said Megan Phaneuf, consular chief from the U.S. Consulate.

“Even though Mexico is “It doesn’t happen very often, but in cases when it does on our backdoor and we’re happen it’s good for them to be neighbors, it is a different able to get that information,” country and we need to remember it has different Phaneuf said.

Students Abroad stresses the rules, different laws there,” importance of knowing what is Phaneuf said.

It is also important to be legal and what isn’t in different countries. Travelers need to be aware of who you conduct aware of legal drinking ages business with. Despite the and local laws that could be seemingly good deals offered, it may not be wise to get involved different than those at home. in business Students w i t h Abroad warns someone that something It is a different who could as American country and be taking as joining we need to advantage of in a public remember it spring break demonstration has different travelers. can be “What we dangerous rules.

businesses; that would be a good key as to somebody reputable enough to do business with.”

For taxis, look for more than a light on top of the car. Taxi cars should be registered and licensed. If in doubt, ask an established business to call one for you.

It’s also important not to wander off alone. This includes when your friend annoys you or you’re the only one who wants fish tacos; stick together and stick to the tourist areas.

If car trouble strikes, Ángeles Verdes provides roadside assistance in Mexico via highway call boxes come spring break.

If there is an emergency while in Mexico, the equivalent of 911 is 066, and the U.S. Consulate can be reached after hours at +521 (631) 318-0723.

Are you excited to change your style now that it’s warmer out?

No, I’m sad! I have a terrible tendency to go to Goodwill to buy out all of their vintage coats during this time of year when people tend to get rid of them, and I’m sad I have to wait another eight months to wear them.

I’m wearing a floral print dress from Forever 21 and a denim jacket that I wear basically every day from Forever 21. I wanted to be comfortable, so I wore my Rainbow flip-flops and to class up the outfit, I decided to wear my gold watch.

Who is your fashion inspiration?

I love Macklemore’s style.
