Student bodies band together ASUA is bringing Arizona universities together in effort to better serve students
Prepare for Vegas and Pac-12 Tournament, p. 8
BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona is currently in the process of creating the Arizona Student Government Collaborative,
an organization that will bring Arizona’s three public colleges’ student governments together to better serve their students. “We really wanted to put aside the differences and leave the rivalries on the court to bring the student governments together,” ASUA President Manny Felix said. “It’s powerful when you have over 100,000 students working toward a common goal.” Felix said that while they’re proud to say this generated from the UA, the other two universities are on board and excited about ASGC.
.
They approached Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University student presidents about the idea, and the three have drafted ideas and have been discussing the details ever since, Felix said at the first Arizona Board of Regents meeting last fall. They’re making sure everyone is involved and has a chance to give input, but they’re hoping to have something more official established by the next regents meeting in April so they can present it to the board, Felix said.

UA dean off to bigger things BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
The UA College of Architecture Dean Janice Cervelli has been selected as the president-elect of Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana. Cervelli said she was born and raised a block away from Saint Mary’s, so this move is a homecoming for her. “This is the biggest honor of my life; it’s a great school,” Cervelli said. “At the same time, it’s bittersweet because I love Tucson, I love the UA and I love this college.” Cervelli, who has worked at the UA for almost eight years, said the great faculty and students have helped foster opportunities, making the college the largest it has been in its history. She said the biggest challenge in her time here has been handling the reductions in state support and figuring out how they can still provide quality programs to students at an affordable cost. “My proudest accomplishments are the great faculty I’ve been able to help attract, the great students and being able to be a part of this community and helping build what we have today,” Cervelli said. “The work and quality speaks for itself.” Cervelli is looking forward to combining her professional and spiritual life at the Catholic institution, but she also has plans to grow programs and keep the quality of education intact while still facing budget cuts. She starts June 1 on a listening tour around the college to hear everyone’s hopes and concerns. “I wasn’t looking for this—I was perfectly happy as dean here, and looked forward to many more years,” Cervelli said. When she was contacted by a search firm mid-semester last year, Cervelli said she hadn’t even known there was an opening and when she thought deeply about it, she realized she was being called to do this. “I’m at this stage in my career where I have one last meaningful leadership role to play, and I wanted it to be as meaningful as possible,” she said.

candidates will speak with different groups and people around campus, so everyone has the chance to size them up and give their opinion, Comrie said. The search committee will then make a recommendation with the pros and cons of the final candidates, and then a final decision will be made. Comrie said the person chosen not only has to leave their current job, but they will most likely also need to move. Depending on if they have a family or kids, the time frame they need to move could take a few months or even a year, but they try to make it as short as possible. “It seems slow from the outside but that’s because you don’t just say ... you’re going to be the next person,” Comrie said. “This is a nationally competitive search for a high profile college, and you want the very best people who can be recruited that year to be considered as a potential leader.”

She added that she’s not worried about who will become the new dean because the College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture has great leadership in place and she will work with or help the interim dean. “This college is in great shape,” Cervelli said. “I wouldn’t leave this place in a lurch.” Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost Andrew Comrie explained the process of hiring a new dean or person for a senior leadership position. “As soon as we realize that we’re going to have to look for new leadership in a college we usually ... try to find who’s going to serve as the interim dean,” Comrie said. “We want to do a full search for the permanent dean.” Finding a permanent dean is a fairly broad and time consuming process that can take months or even a year, according to Comrie. He added that the interim dean is usually someone internal or a department head because they already have knowledge and familiarity with the college. As soon as they find out someone is leaving he meets with the leaders of the college to get their opinion and discuss the format and process of how they will be finding a new dean. Since the college is fairly small, Comrie had this meeting last Friday with the whole college to explain the format and listen to opinions. Comrie said it may be as soon as the end of March or the beginning of April when he selects the interim dean to take over in May, or it could take longer. The next step is forming a search committee, which they try to make diverse by including voices from senior leadership, students, faculty and staff with a neutral search chair from a different department. Potential committee members are nominated to Comrie and once the committee is formed, they develop the job advertisement and may even hire a professional search firm to help find the best candidates. Once applications are received, the search will eventually be narrowed to typically two to four candidates. Once the field is smaller, the committee will hold public interviews and

Munchies: Not just for pot anymore BY AKSHAY SYAL
The Daily Wildcat
Lack of sleep will make you as hungry as smoking marijuana, according to new research. The study, published in the journal SLEEP, was led by Dr. Erin Hanlon of the University of Chicago. She and her team discovered a relationship between lack of sleep and “the munchies,” or food cravings marijuana users often face after smoking. Fourteen healthy, non-obese subjects were recruited and underwent four nights of either healthy sleep or sleep deprivation. After, they were given meals, as well as access to “palatable, rewarding snacks” such as chips, cookies or candy. They found that those in the sleep deprived group not only admitted to feeling hungrier, but actually consumed over 50 percent more calories than those who got a good night’s sleep. In fact, the group actually ended up consuming twice as much fat and protein as those who slept well.

subject needs 17 calories for each hour of wakefulness. However, the sleep deprived subjects in the study ate more than 300 additional calories, which can lead to eventual weight gain, according to Hanlon. As college students, this issue becomes increasingly relevant given the nature of students’ sleeping habits. For example, a study from 2014 found that 50 percent of college students reported daytime sleepiness, while 70 percent attained insufficient sleep. In comparison, only 36 percent of adults reported daytime sleepiness, suggesting sleep deficiency among college students may be a cause for alarm. To find out if UA students should be monitoring sleep habits, we spoke with Dr. Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the UA, who says those who are trying to lose weight should invest in more sleep. “There were increases in AG-2 that were caused by sleep loss, which were correlated with the changes in hunger,” Grandner said. “The increase in reported desire to eat and

the decreased ability to inhibit snacking started with an increase of AG-2.” Future technology could ultimately measure how 2-AG levels in the body change with fluctuating sleep patterns, sending warning signals to the user that they need to reconsider their sleeping patterns, or they could ultimately end up gaining weight, according to Grandner. So, with the well-documented risks of sleep deprivation, how many hours of shuteye should college students aim to get? Grandner recommended eight to nine hours of sleep per day, which also includes time spent napping. In addition, while he is strongly against pulling all-nighters, Grandner said he understands that many students ultimately have no other choice. In that case, he recommends staying up late before the exam, to combat memory retention issues that go along with pulling all-nighters before a big exam.

In an official press release, Hanlon stated that this type of behavior increased because of the sleeping patterns. “We found that sleep restriction boosts a signal that may increase the hedonic aspect of food intake, the pleasure and satisfaction gained from eating,” Hanlon said. “Sleep restriction seems to augment the endocannabinoid system, the same system targeted by the active ingredient of marijuana, to enhance the desire for food intake.” In this case, the chemical involved in the endocannabinoid system, endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol, better known as 2-AG, was found to be produced in higher quantities in those who were sleep deprived. The study found levels of 2-AG of those who were sleep deprived to be 33 percent higher than those who were well rested, suggesting a possible mechanism for the greater pleasure those who were sleep deprived felt while eating. Hanlon also addressed the argument that those who are sleep deprived simply need more energy by illustrating that a

The real world: Are you ready for it? BY Brice Lennon The Daily Wildcat
Recent college graduates see themselves as prepared to move on into the professional world, however their employers sometimes bring their qualifications into question. Sixty-two percent of recent graduates think they are prepared to effectively communicate in the real world, according to a recent study by the Association of American Colleges and Universities. However, only 28 percent of employers agreed. Eileen McGarry, executive director of Career Services and Student Engagement at the UA, described easy ways students can gain the edge employers are looking for and bridge this apparent gap in opinion. “Preparedness, awareness and confidence are the keys for students entering the job market,” McGarry said. “Around 75 percent of undergraduate students and 40 percent of graduate students take advantage of the resources Career Services has to offer.” Career Services offers resources including career coaching, in which students work on their resumes and practice interviewing skills, and employer information sessions and panels that provide opportunities to explore a variety of career fields. The university established the Institute for Career Readiness and Engagement in 2014. The institute’s goal is to connect students with employers and opportunities, and it receives funding through the Workforce Development Grant program. One resource in particular that focuses on career and leadership development is the Edge program. Open to all sophomores and juniors who register, the Edge program runs for

“It’s important to have the entire student bodies from the three campuses all together and ready to stand up for our universities and Arizona overall,” Felix said. “And this program does just that.” He said there hasn’t been much collaboration between the universities in the past, despite facing the same challenges such as budget cuts and affordable education. Felix added that he’s not worried about the collaborative efforts being lost when Mikey Finnegan, the incoming president, takes over next year because he’s been helping with planning, writing bylaws and working with the policy team. Spencer Bateman, a UA junior studying finance and political science and executive director of government affairs and policy, said the reason they decided to pursue this is because the lack of coordination between student governments in recent years has damaged their efforts at the state policy level.

nine weeks and focuses on research and skills needed to secure coveted internships and careers. For students looking for help preparing, the program is a great place to start. One of the most popular career service activities is the Spring Career Fair, McGarry said. “This spring, the [UA’s] career fair will house over 160 companies from 26 different states,” McGarry said. “These companies are collectively looking to hire 2,000 interns and fill over 3,000 full-time positions, making
this the largest career fair on campus since the recession.” The Spring Career Fair will take place March 8-9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the third floor ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center and is open to all interested students. With employers focusing more on skill and less on majors, McGarry said the key is to be professional and make a positive first impression. More often than not, that first impression is a resume. Boasting a student population of over 40,000 and over 600 clubs
“Instead of going to the legislature with the view of Arizona students, we go in with the view of UA students, NAU students and ASU students,” Bateman said. “It’s better if we have a coordinated student effort behind things, because it allows us to reach more of an audience and gives us a lot more legitimacy and weight.” Vianney Careaga, a political science sophomore and director of civic engagement, said that while everything is still in the works, the three governments have come together and formed the mission statement of ASGC. The mission is “to serve the students of Arizona state’s public universities as the representative student voice at campus, local, state and national levels through education, advocacy and outreach,” Careaga said. Finnegan said they are still in the works of writing bylaws and establishing how the structure will work, but that this will be about representing all students and the three universities fairly. There would be a general assembly that has the opportunity to send
recommendations and resolutions up to an executive committee that will be comprised of the three universities’ presidents. “Every university has one vote, so everything has to be unanimous or it won’t be passed,” Finnegan said. ASU, with its multiple campuses around the Phoenix area, will figure out how its voting process will work to determine its one vote. Careaga said whatever resolutions, recommendations or ideas originate from ASGC will have to be approved through each university’s internal process in place, like the ASUA Senate, to ensure that ASGC is representing every student and each university’s voice. He added that they’re working on writing in the bylaws so that every few years, they have to go through each student government for recharter to ensure they’re still working and are unanimously approved by the schools. As far as ratifying the collaborative itself, Finnegan said they’re going to get them approved by each university’s student government to ratify and recognize it’s existence.
and organizations, getting involved and buffing up that resume at the UA should be the easy part. Resumes and skills are important, but when it comes down to salaries and opportunities, certain majors will always stand apart from the rest. The Georgetown Public Policy Institute published a recent study arguing that not all college degrees are created equal. Science, technology, engineering, mathematics and business majors are at the top of the pay scale for recent graduates, while education and psychology remain near the bottom. However, what some degrees lack in pay, they make up for in job security. Nursing and elementary education majors have the lowest unemployment rates for recent graduates at 4.8 percent and 5 percent respectively. Information services majors show the highest unemployment rates among recent graduates at 14.7 percent. Unemployment in all majors decreases significantly at the master’s degree level or better, as well as when real work experience levels of college graduates increases, according to the study. Seventy-three percent of college students feel that they will be able to find a job when they graduate, while just slightly fewer believe they will find a job that fits their interests and goals, according to the study. “The Professional Development Center has been a big help for me,” said Kelsey Findlow, a business management junior. “This school has a lot to offer, you just have to be willing to work hard.” — Follow Brice Lennon @lennonbrice
Even though the end of the semester is approaching, Finnegan, as presidentelect, said he will continue to work and be a part of ASGC to make sure it happens. “We’re all very committed to this and regardless of who’s in our positions next year, there’s definitely going to be an effort on our part of to see this through,” Bateman said. “This has definitely been the focal point of the policy team this year.” The current policy teams have invited the incoming president-elects to come to a briefing at the upcoming regents meeting to make sure that everyone is on the same page heading into next year, according to Careaga. “For the past four years, we basically haven’t had anyone who represented us as a student voice,” Finnegan said. “Hopefully we will, for not just now, but for a long time.”

POLICE BEAT BY AMANDA OIEN
The Daily Wildcat
Balancing Act A female UA student was found by a University of Arizona Police Department officer walking along the sidewalk east of the GouldSimpson Building. Despite her arms out to her sides in attempt to maintain balance, the slight angle of the sidewalk proved too much and the student stumbled and began staggering. As the officer approached the student, she asked if she was going to get a minor in possession even though the officer did not yet know her age. The student said she was walking with her three friends from Drachman Street and Adams Street, lost them and was going to walk home. The student’s clothing was disheveled and her white shoes were very dirty, according to UAPD. When the officer asked if she knew where she was going and in what direction, the officer deemed that the student’s sense of direction was compromised. With no money for a cab or Uber to safely take the student home, the officer determined the best course of action was to provide a police transport to the student’s residence. The student had a noticeable sway, lost her balance multiple times, had slurred speech and had red and watery eyes. With obvious signs of alcohol consumption, the student was issued a UA Student Diversion. The student said she drank four shots of vodka at a house and began crying and could not answer any more questions. The student was diverted through the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking.

Is it too late now to say sorry? A University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to the UA Bookstore in response to a shoplifting incident. When the officer arrived, a member of UA Bookstore Loss Prevention was pointing at a man running away wearing a white shirt, shorts and with a pair of red Beats headphones on his head. When the man noticed the UAPD officer, he took the headphones off and folded them into his hand. When the officer caught up to the man with his UAPD motorcycle, the man was breathing heavily and sweating as if he had been running. When the officer dismounted the motorcycle, the man said, “Sorry, I made a mistake.” After presenting his ID and UA CatCard, the officer asked what the student was sorry for. The student replied, “I don’t know.” The student admitted he had purchased an “A” window sticker and walked to the back of the store and took a pair of shorts off a rack and walked back to the front of the store, according to UAPD. The student said he didn’t mean to walk out of the store without paying for the shorts, but forgot. He said when a member of Loss Prevention approached him and asked for his CatCard, he panicked and dropped the bag with the sticker and receipt. The student ran northbound from the bookstore and threw the shorts into some bushes as he was running. The student admitted leaving the store without purchasing the shorts, but said it was an accident and he didn’t mean to steal them. The student was arrested, cited and released for shoplifting.

he 2016 election season has been riddled with tension on all fronts. Whether through memes or “Saturday Night Live” skits; it seems every voter has something to say about the candidates and the candidates have a lot to say about one another. This influx of media, especially technology-centered media, has created a seemingly more interested young-voter base. An important player in every election is the Democratic National Committee. Thousands of Democratic voters look to the guidance of the DNC in primary elections to find the candidate most suited for the job. However, there has been a lot of tension this election season between the DNC and one Democratic candidate in particular. Rumors have swirled about the DNC seemingly going after Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders. Between keeping the Sanders campaign from important voter data after a Sanders worker accessed files from the Clinton campaign last year, to the reversal of President Barack Obama’s ban on campaign contributions by lobbyists in February 2008, there has clearly been disagreement between Sanders and the DNC. I spoke with Joseline Mata, president of University of Arizona Young Democrats, regarding her stance on the DNC’s actions this election season. She pointed out that she believes the DNC was completely justified in punishing the Sanders campaign for its breach in security. She believes since Sanders broke the bylaws of the DNC, there had to be some push back. “If the Clinton campaign had done it, there would have been the same consequences,” Mata said. Many people believe that this is not the case. If the Clinton campaign would have done the same, it is unclear whether the DNC would have responded in the same way—had it noticed at all. The repeated attacks on Sanders’ campaign give the impression that throughout this election, his actions have been viewed under a microscope in a way that the Clinton campaign has not. There
hasn’t been a lot of wiggle room for the “antiestablishment” candidate. These rising tensions, however, came to the forefront once again last week when DNC Vice Chair Tulsi Gabbard stepped down from her role in order to endorse Sanders, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press,” “I think it’s most important for us, as we look at our choices as to who our next commander in chief will be, is to recognize the necessity to have a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment.” This clearly reveals that the DNC is trying to steer voters in Clinton’s direction during this Democratic primary. Whether it has intentionally been going after Sanders the whole election season, a representative making the judgment that the only way she can endorse Sanders is to resign from her post, is rather telling of the internal workings of the DNC. For students going through this election season—especially those who are first time voters—it’s easy to get caught up in the dramatic media narrative being written. There is a clear reason to look to the governing body of your preferred political party for some guidance.

The Oscars need to celebrate film BY GREG CASTRO
E
The Daily Wildcat
veryone’s talking about whether Chris Rock did a good job discussing race at last week’s Oscars, and I’m just over here like: “Why can’t the Oscars be about, you know, film?” That’s not to say the issue of diversity in filmmaking isn’t important to me. Don’t believe me? Go read “Another all-white Oscars shows issue with Academy” published on Jan. 23 about this very issue. But after watching this year’s telecast, I find myself wishing the show could be more about movies and less about celebrities and controversy. How do we get through four hours of broadcast awarding excellence in filmmaking every year, without mentioning the actual filmmaking once? Why are there no video features on how Emmanuel Lubezki managed to film Leonardo DiCaprio being washed down the Canadian rapids in “The Revenant,” or how George Miller orchestrated those magnificent chase scenes in “Mad Max: Fury Road”? Every year, three short films are awarded Oscars in three different categories, and yet most viewers will never have a chance to see them. Why not play these films in front of the broadcast, instead of torturing us with Robin Roberts asking awkward/sexist questions to the nominated actresses on the red carpet? It’s no secret that students—aka young people—rarely tune in to live television. It’s even less of a secret that the academy has been trying desperately the last few years to get more young eyeballs glued to televisions on the awards night. The height of this desperation occurred in 2013, when the show

The DNC knows that it is looked to for such guidance, and therefore is taking advantage of a less established voter base. “The DNC works to create a strong relationship with college-age students knowing that this is a formative time for young adults to develop their opinions and become more knowledgeable,” Mata said. It reaches out through social media platforms and by creating, sponsoring and employing a network of students like the Young Democrats. The DNC is working to shape college students as they learn and
was hosted by Seth Macfarlane, of all people, in an attempt to appeal to the youth that resulted in a generally limp production. Adweek found that young people watch more than double the amount of online video content than they do actual television. Would the academy not be better served by appealing to this trend, filling the Academy Awards broadcast with more short video content and less boring people talking on a stage? Today’s younger generations are more aware of filmmaking as a science and an art form than ever before. They have the ability to make their own films for practically nothing, with truly powerful cameras in their phones and cheap editing software on their computers. They can create their own YouTube, Vimeo or Vine channels and make millions off advertising revenue. Why then, should they care about some stuffy awards show praising rich celebrities doing the same thing, unless the broadcast is meant in part to educate aspiring filmmakers and share how those stars were able to achieve what they did? Again, it’s not that this year’s Oscars wasn’t at all worthwhile. Actually, Rock’s decision to make the entire broadcast about race was rather bold, and if nothing else, led to much more interesting content than in years past. His opening monologue in particular was a welcome change from the usual Billy Crystal musical number. However, simply put, if the Academy Awards wish to continue as a cornerstone of the industry—the golden idol that filmmakers everywhere look up to—then it could stand to return to its roots and remind us all of what’s actually being celebrated: filmmakers and their films.

Nonetheless, the bias for who the DNC believes is best suited for the role of commander in chief has been very clear this election season. Its vocal media presence with issues regarding both candidates is its way of shaping and changing young voters’ minds.

Arizona could face CU, Oregon BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
The most wonderful time of the year is usaully during the holiday season, but not in Tucson. The regular season concluded last week and it’s time to catch a first glimpse of the bizarre action of what’s to come for March Madness. No. 15 Arizona (24-7, 12-6 Pac12 Conference) ended the season on a high note with its sweep of the Bay Area schools and will compete as the No. 4 seed with a first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas. The only issue with the craziness that comes with the unpredictable Pac-12 is the Wildcats will have to hold their breath until Wednesday afternoon when Colorado and Washington State rumble in the first round. “You prepare for both teams and especially in conference tournament, anything can
happen,” head coach Sean Miller said in Monday’s press conference. “You don’t have to necessarily be the best team to win, you just have to be the best team on that particular afternoon or evening.” Even though Arizona will be a step ahead in terms of the preparation and focus that will be on both squads, the Wildcats will be salivating for a revenge game against Colorado after the Buffaloes snuck away with a 75-72 win in Boulder. That was due to the efforts from first team All-Pac-12 forward Josh Scott who posted a season-best 26 points. In the Wildcats’ last go-around, Arizona guard Gabe York scored 11 points on just 4-of-14 from the field (28.6 percent) and a pair of turnovers. York wasted no time bouncing back with a grand finale career-high performance, nailing nine 3-pointers against Stanford, tied for most in a single game in UA history with Salim Stoudamire, and tallied 32 points. That was the
follow up performance to when he sunk the game winning 3-pointer that lifted the Wildcats over California just two nights prior. York earned Pac-12 Player of the Week and was topped off by earning second team All-Pac-12 honors. “He earned it especially the way he played Thursday night against Cal and the way that game ended; he put us on his shoulders and rescued us from the dead,” Miller said. Arizona shot 3-of-11 from beyond the arc against Colorado, so if the Wildcats wish to avoid an early upset, relying on York to carry the load on the outside may have to be the go-to plan for Miller. Even if it manages to squeeze by either Washington State or Colorado, Arizona has top-seeded Oregon to look forward to in the semifinals. The last time the Ducks and Wildcats met was when the streak of most consecutive home wins
ended at 49 with Oregon providing the damage by forcing 19 turnovers. The Ducks are another team that is preparing for a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, so an impressive run in Las Vegas could assure the Ducks a high seed. “They have been as consistent from start to finish as any team and they are very deserving to get that coveted one or two seed,” Miller said. There are at least two teams that the Wildcats have lost to this season that are standing in the way to repeat as conference tournament champions. Got to love March. “Part of why we’ll play well in the NCAA Tournament is by how we compete and the things we learn in the Pac-12 Tournament,” Miller said. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
What to do in Vegas, you ask? BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat
With the Pac-12 Conference Tournament having its home in Las Vegas, many Arizona students, alumni and fans will make the sixhour treck north to support their team. Unfortunately, the Wildcats will not being playing the whole time, but there are many quality teams like Oregon, California and Utah that will also provide mustsee basketball. If your friends are going to the tourney and you are just along for the ride, there are plenty of alternatives to make your spring break trip worthwhile. Luckily, many of Las Vegas’s attractions are on the Strip, so you do not have to go out of your way have some fun.
Las Vegas is famous—or infamous—for its casinos and if you want to throw a few dollars in the slots, high-profile casinos such as the Venetian and the Cosmopolitan ensure there is no better place to do it than Vegas. Just be sure not to overdo it, because the odds of you winning big are slim. While there have been few gambling success stories, set a budget and stick to it no matter what. If you are on a tight budget like most college students, free events like rock concerts with wine could be something up your alley. From 6-8 p.m. on Thursdays, the Foundation Room hosts these events at a variety of locations. Who doesn’t love free wine? You can also enjoy free alcohol
at the Venetian as VOM FASS offers events like The Whiskey Experience. Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m., you can enjoy free bourbon, scotch and Irish whiskey as you learn about their differences and the processes involved in making them. Another way to save time and money is by going on a Las Vegas bar crawl. For as little as $40, you gain entrance to multiple clubs with no lines, drink specials and even food is provided. You and your closest friends can experience all of what Las Vegas has to offer instead of waiting in line and wasting precious time. It doubles as a great way to save money as bar crawls are often valued at $100. If you are more of a show
person, Cirque du Soleil is a mustsee, especially “Michael Jackson ONE” where four outcasts go on a journey and must defeat villains in the name of Michael Jackson. Additionally, musicians Pitbull, Billy Idol and Chris Brown will be performing during spring break, so what better way to have a good time than listening to those artists while partying? As we wait for Arizona basketball to continue, there are a multitude of options for you and all of your friends. You can check out the Oregon match, shop at exclusive malls and party with the best Las Vegas has to offer during a spring break you will not forget. — Follow Ivan Leonard @Ivan14bro

Vegas puts a spin on UA’s March hopes BY KYLE HANSEN
The Daily Wildcat
Sean Miller and his team will travel to the Pac-12 Conference Tournament in Las Vegas with a different setup than the past two seasons. After two straight regular season championships, the Wildcats will enter this year’s tournament as a No. 4 seed and await the winner of Colorado and Washington State for their first game Thursday afternoon. The Wildcats could end up playing only teams that have beat them this season in Las Vegas. If they win on Thursday, they would likely play Oregon in the semifinals, and then California, Utah or one of the Los Angeles schools in the possible championship game. In terms of RPI, which showcases a team’s strength of schedule, Arizona is ranked by ESPN at No. 26. Oregon is fourth, Utah is ninth and California is 15th. When selection Sunday rolls around, wins over these teams will help push the Wildcats toward a higher seed. “I like to think that we’re in the tournament based on how we’ve performed through 31 games,” Miller said. “Where we’re seeded though could vary dramatically.” Arizona will also need some help around the country in other conference tournaments. In a season ripe with upsets week in and out, the Wildcats could benefit from a few more. Winning the Pac-12 Tournament coupled with other teams losing early would make the possibility of moving up stronger. The Wildcats will need to ride the momentum from a poetic final week of the regular season. Arizona came back from an eight-point deficit to defeat Cal in the final minutes on the back of Gabe York, and blew out Stanford on a complete game effort from everyone, but especially the seniors. “Our team played with great confidence, and that’s something you want to see in March,” Miller said about Saturday’s win over the Cardinal. “A team that believes in what they’re doing and believes in each other.” We caught a glimpse of what this team can
do once everything clicks and continuing that stretch is key in the postseason. “It’s going to be interesting to see if we can carry that confidence and belief into Las Vegas,” Miller said. While Arizona would undoubtedly benefit from a strong weekend in Las Vegas, the pressure for this year’s Wildcats may not be as heavy as it has been in the past. Large expectations have been rightfully placed on the Wildcats because of the history and success of the program. A championshipor-bust mentality is a good one to have, but it can also create added pressure to an already grueling season. “I do think sometimes that if you enter the conference tournament as the conference regular season champion, and you’ve had your way like we’ve had the past couple of years, you try to rev that engine up. But it’s not as easy to do,” Miller said. Not all eyes are on Arizona this year, as Oregon became the new regular season champion. The expectations are still high, but Arizona might be able to fly under the radar a little more this postseason because of a lower seeding. “If you’re not the conference champion like we are this year, you may potentially play a team that just beat you in a crucial game,” Miller said. “I think you have the right mindset going in there to do a better job against them than we just did.” This could be good for a team who did not quite reach expectations during the regular season. The Wildcats didn’t have a bad season by any means, but rather let a few games get away. They have a new goal and a new championship set in their minds as they head toward the weekend. But for now, it’s March. Let the madness begin.

Members of the UA hockey team line up with the AZ Junior Wildcats before playing against ASU on Feb. 19, 2016. The team made it to the second round of the ACHA Men’s Division I National Tournament before falling to Minot State last Friday.
Postseason run marks successful season for hockey BY seth pines
The Daily Wildcat
T
he Arizona hockey season came to a close after the team fell to Minot State in the round of 16 of the ACHA Men’s Division I National Tournament on Friday. While the season may have come to an end for the Wildcats, Friday night marked the beginning of a new era for the program. Arizona accomplished what no prior Wildcat team had done in the past 13 years: win a game in the National Tournament. The Wildcats achieved this feat by beating Western Michigan 5-4 on Thursday night in a game in which they trailed three different times. The team’s performance, coupled with its young and explosive roster, will make it a contender in the ACHA for the foreseeable future. Head coach Chad Berman faced many challenges in his second season at the helm of Arizona following last year’s abysmal campaign when the team went 11-22-3. Things were looking bleak for the team after it started 3-6, but Berman made critical decisions in terms of player personnel to solidify the direction of the team. Berman elected to start goaltender Austin Wilson for the majority of the rest of Arizona’s games and brought in transfer players Brian Schehr and Tyler Griffith to bolster the team’s depth at the forward position. These moves aided in the wins against three top-10 opponents, which helped
catapult the Wildcats into the National Tournament. The team lost to the No. 1 seed Minot State on Friday night for the fifth time this season, but at the same time this year’s squad set a standard to what future Arizona teams should strive for: making a run in the postseason. Given the fact the Wildcats only have one graduating senior, this year makes them a favorite to return to the National Tournament and go even deeper with their returning core of players. Arguably the most important area of any team is the goaltender position and Berman is presented with a good problem to have in deciding which one of his net-minders to go with. Wilson won the job late in the season with his stellar play and back-up Garrett Patrick gave the team solid work in his appearances. Both will return next season for Arizona and will each return stronger and give the Wildcats a chance to win, which they both did numerous times this season. Looking back on the season, it could easily be argued that the team exceeded expectations given its first round National Tournament win and a handful of victories against top teams in the conference. But more importantly, it could be argued that Arizona has reasserted itself as a program that is ready to replicate the success of years past. — Follow Seth Pines @SethPines

York joins program’s top 3-point shooters
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT PHOTO BY: ARIZONA ATHLETICS, ARIZONA ATHLETICS, ARIZONA ATHLETICS, OTTO GREULE JR/ALLSPORT, SYDNEY RICHARDSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT
BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat
In Saturday’s regular season finale, Arizona hit a school-record 18 3-point shots en route to a 94-62 win over Stanford. Led by senior sharpshooter Gabe York’s nine 3-pointers, it was an epic display of long distance connections, highlighted by fan-favorite senior Jacob Hazzard’s three 3s in the second half. This performance had us wondering who the school’s top 3-point shooters were, so without further ado, here are the best shooters in Arizona history. 5. Gabe York It was a toss-up between York and Chris Mills, but York gets the slight edge due to consistency. Mills did shoot 48 percent from 3 his senior year, but all four of Gabe York’s seasons upstaged Mills. York’s efficiency has increased every year and this season he shot a shade under 43 percent, despite receiving more attention.
Usually a player’s efficiency decreases whenever they carry a bigger offensive role, but York has improved his attempts and efficiency despite not having Nick Johnson or Stanley Johnson to draw the attention. 4. Damon Stoudamire While his cousin Salim Stoudamire may get more recognition as a shooter, the 1995 Pac-10 Player of the Year was a force from the arc as well. When he was not driving through the lane or setting up his teammates, Stoudamire averaged 46 percent from 3 while launching eight per game during his senior campaign for the Wildcats. Although Stoudamire left Arizona as the school’s all-time leader in makes and attempts, he is still the second best 3-point shooting lefthanded Stoudamire in school history. 3. Sean Elliot The catalyst for the 1988 Final Four team,
Sean Elliot’s superior 3-point shooting helped him average 19 points per game on only 13 shots. The 1989 Wooden Award winner and twotime conference player of the year averaged two 3-pointers on 50 percent accuracy during his award-winning senior season. During that same season he averaged 22 points per game for the Wildcats. 2. Salim Stoudamire The sweet-shooting southpaw narrowly edged out Sean Elliot in career percentage—45.8 compared to 45.6 percent—and was a terror from behind the arc during his four years at Arizona. While many considered Duke University guard J.J. Redick the best shooter in the country during the 2005 season, Lute Olson was confused by this proclamation. At one point, he asked how Redick was better than Stoudamire despite needing to make 53 consecutive 3-pointers to tie Stoudamire at the time—it’s
hard to argue that logic. While he was notorious for his moodiness, the All-American’s shooting was a huge asset for NBA players such as Andre Iguodala and Channing Frye. 1. Steve Kerr Kerr may be the coach of the NBA’s best shooting duo in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, but he and Sean Elliot were also shredding teams with their shooting at one time. In their 1988 Final Four run, Elliot’s 47 percent 3-point accuracy was a full 10 percent lower than Kerr’s and Kerr was not gun-shy either. At three 3-pointers made per game, he will “drill it in from 3-point land” just like he boasted in the team’s infamous 1988 rap song.

Bipartisan fashion: best and worst dressed at the debates BY ERICA SZPYLCZYN
Hiro, Baymax and
BEST
The Daily Wildcat
Television viewers have seen the presidential candidates battle it out verbally for the coveted spot of presidential nominee for months, and along the way have worn outfits that are at times appealing and at others off-putting. While what candidates say may be the most important thing to get elected, their attire plays a larger role in getting elected than many would like to admit. Dressing well—or poorly— nonverbally communicates a message from each candidate. After all, bizarre outfit choices can send their own message to voters. For the Republican candidates, Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina
are business people known not only for their memorable campaigns, but also their fashion choices. Like his fellow Republican party candidates, current frontrunner Trump always has the tailored suitand-tie look down to a science. That being said, the elephant in the room remains: that hair. Most often, it looks like someone used the blur tool on Photoshop to rewind the aging process for Trump’s hairline. The frankenhair and off-orange skin tone make Trump the worst fashionably savvy of the Republican debates. On the other end of the spectrum is Fiorina. Before bowing out of the race, the former CEO of HewlettPackard was best dressed of the Republican candidates for the simplicity of her style.
Fiorina always kept her outfits clean and simple with a nicely tailored pencil skirt and matching blazer. The subdued colors of the skirt and blazer combination went well with her short, powerful bob style haircut. Looking at the Democrat candidates, having only two candidates makes this an easy choice. As Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders make their trek toward the Democratic nomination, their political ideologies and outfit choices are strikingly different. Clinton may have good taste in fashion on most days, but during the Feb. 11 debate, her outfit choices land her as the worst dressed Democrat. Clinton’s banana-colored, kimono-esque blazer paired with
dark black dress pants created quite the eye sore. Sanders wins the best dressed Democrat. The senator from Vermont wore a quirky, polka-dot tie with his black suit and glasses, adding a personal flair to an ordinary outfit during the Feb. 11 debate. Sanders likes to accentuate his suit with patterned ties, making the ensemble more interesting. While most candidates have decent style, some are more prominent—for better or for worse—than others. Whoever wins the election has work to do as leader of the free world and unofficial style ambassador to millions. — Follow Erica Szpylczyn @ericaszpylczyn

breakdown later on in the song. Omnia’s “Immersion” does this to great effect.
Trance first rose to popularity in 1990s Germany. As technology advanced and the proliferation of electronic music became more widespread, trance became a regular feature at dance parties around the world. With similar tempos to common rhythmic motifs, DJs could easily transition from one song to another, creating a seemingly endless stream of music. Generally, trance songs are constructed more similarly to classical music than pop songs, which results in their extended duration and complex rhythmic and harmonic schemes. Trance songs are usually composed of an intro, development, breakdown, recapitulation and finally, an outro.
Light & Wave—“Feeling The City (Sunset Remix)” Remixes have a strange place in trance music that differs from the traditional world of music. Because so many basic elements of trance music are shared between artists, it’s actually harder to find an original mix of a particular song than its remix. Sunset’s remix of Light & Wave’s inspirational hit “Feeling the City” is a prime example of this practice.
Temple One—“World Beyond” “World Beyond” by Temple One is a perfect example of the musical recipe described for traditional trance songs. From its atmospheric harmonies in the breakdown to its uplifting rhythmic projections throughout, “World

Beyond” is a great introduction to basic trance. Omnia—“Immersion” Frequently, trance songs provide a perfect opportunity to settle into the rhythm of a new song before introducing its main melodic motifs, usually eliminating the need for a

Photographer—“Airport (Original Mix)” If you like Linkin Park at all—even if it’s a guilty pleasure—you will recognize the chords beneath Photographer’s “Airport (Original Mix).” With its progressive bass and wicked beats, this is truly a traditional trance song. Amir Hussain & Robert Nickson—“Nevada (Original Mix)” Look no further than this song to witness how trance has transcended—pun intended— national boundaries. Hailing from Bahrain, a small island country in the Middle East, Amir Hussain collaborated with Dutch composer Robert Nickson to bring “Nevada (Original Mix)” and all of its sweeping synths and stuttering beats to life. — Follow Kincaid Rabb @kincaid_rabb

Delivering slapstick comedy and over-the-top dramatization, William Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” at the Arizona Repertory Theatre provides carefully rehearsed eccentrics in a delightful performance. The production features two sets of identical twins: one pair the sons of a merchant and the other pair servants to the first. In a series of unfortunate events, however, both sets of baby twins are separated in a shipwreck, along with their parents. “The Comedy of Errors” picks up over 20 years later in the trade city of Ephesus when the brothers have grown up with separate lives and separate servants, having no knowledge of the other’s whereabouts. One pair of twins, Antipholus of Syracuse, and his servant Dromio of Syracuse search for their long-lost twins and Antipholus’ mother Aemilia. The other twin, Antipholus of Ephesus, is a married merchant in Ephesus with no knowledge of his brother. As if this confusion wasn’t enough, Antipholus of Syracuse and his Dromio arrive in Ephesus just in time to wreak havoc on his twin brother’s life. The cast was well rehearsed and prepared for their cartoonish, larger-than-life roles. The casting department did great work, considering the compact pool of fine arts acting majors at the UA. Both Antipholus characters (Ethan Kirschbaum and Kasey Caruso) and Dromios (Zackry Colston and Keenan Larson) appeared alarmingly similar in appearance. For a production such as this one, the similar looks of the two leads plays a big part in creating a convincing story for the audience. This attention to detail added to the compelling nature of the performances. The top-notch set design deserves credit, as the play created an entire city within scarce square footage. This set was creative and detailed. The quality of cast performance can be judged on its own merits, but a great set enhances any performance 10-fold. The costumes and numerous accents, however, did seem carelessly inconsistent. Both Antipholuses and Dromios wore light sports suits, like traveling businessman in the 1950s. Most everyone else in the show, however —most notably Antipholus of Ephesus’ wife Adrianna, and her sister Luciana with their long cloth dresses—were dressed for biblical times. The chemistry was as authentic as could be expected from a play full of ridiculous situations and corny jokes. The interactions between the Dromios and their Antipholuses shined the brightest. The relationship between Antipholus of Syracuse and his Dromio played out as the most charming, despite some violence inflicted upon the poor slave. This relationship held more light humor than the other pair of estranged twins due

to their better luck in the play’s sequence of events. Proper technical execution of Shakespeare is daunting for any actor, regardless of experience and professional status. This cast took the challenge and embraced each role. The actors demonstrated great commitment to the moment throughout the play—an essential aspect for creating an atmosphere of comedy and tension without losing grip on reality. Even for such a ridiculous farce as “The Comedy of Errors,” the element of reality keeps the audience invested in the eventual outcome of the story and engaged with the actors. Overall, this show came together well and put on a natural comedic and charming performance. It was evident that the cast put a great deal of work into giving the best portrayal of these characters who, perhaps with the exception of Antipholus of Syracuse, lacked depth or intrinsic motivation. This kind of obvious comedy sometimes proves difficult to produce naturally and organically. Because of the nature of farce, not every actor can pull it off. Despite the difficulty of the source material, the Arizona Repertory Theatre’s rendition of “The Comedy of Errors” proves itself worthy.

Still from the first trailer for Disney’s “Zootopia,” released Friday, March 4. The film, set in a world of anthropomorphic animals like protagonists Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, is a modern Disney classic.
“Zootopia” a modern Disney masterpiece BY casey aldava
The Daily Wildcat
A thriving metropolis filled with anthropomorphic mammals of all walks of life is a place where “anyone can be anything”—for the most part, at least. Disney’s newest animated motion picture “Zootopia” tells the story of Judy Hopps, the first bunny to ever join the Zootopia police department, and Nick Wilde, the sly con-fox who begrudgingly becomes Judy’s co-detective on a case to find 14 missing mammals. The assertion that anyone can be anything takes on discrimination and profiling, positing that judgment based on outward appearances is not only hurtful, but inaccurate. No stereotype is universal, and labels only serve to divide and create hostility. “Zootopia” demonstrates in its own subtle way that all mammals have equal capacity for good and evil, and what is important is this is a choice everyone must make, regardless of who—or what—they are. The star-studded cast boasts Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps, Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde, Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Shakira as Gazelle and many others lending their voices to these complex mammals. The actors’ voices bring a humanoid sense that bridges our two worlds and makes these characters relatable. Details like an iteration of the iPhone, futuristic modes of transportation, disgusting apartments and a Department of Motor Vehicles run by sloths bring the city of Zootopia to life. This fully realized world feels both familiar and original, with an atmosphere reminiscent of human cities like Los Angeles or New York City. Sandy, secluded Sahara Square plays home to camels and other desert loving mammals, and the snowy, glacier-filled Tundratown is a habitat for cold climate creatures. The Rainforest District might remind viewers of a cross between the Amazon and Portland, Oregon.
Littlest—but not least—is Little Rodentia, the tiny town touting the smallest mammals. All of these districts come together to make Zootopia not unlike the collection of cities surrounding most modern metropolises. Amidst hilarious references to “The Godfather,” “Chinatown” and the amorous reproductive habits of rabbits, the film manages to make its most suspenseful and serious scenes the funniest. The film shines when it touches on real-world adult problems, such as political corruption and secrecy, and also kid-centric issues like childhood bullying. The level of complexity and humor imbued to these issues can be surprising, such as when Judy Hopps explains that it is OK for one bunny to call another bunny “cute,” but not for other animals to do it. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde shine as fully developed characters. “Zootopia” gives the audience characters fully fleshed out with back stories that support the characters’ polar opposite philosophies on life, despite being a relatively short movie. The movie begins with each character rooted firmly in their own perspective, and by the end of the film, we see a much more balanced stance in each of them—the true mark of a welldeveloped character. The movie ends on a note that not only moves the characters, but also the audience. “Zootopia” is the best Disney movie since “Frozen,” and possibly even better. “Zootopia” is an animation masterpiece, and a creative gift to the world, with hilarious characters, real-world relatability and a perfect underlying message. It is easy to predict the film will go on to be a huge box office sensation, and become the next iconic Disney classic.

SPECIAL SPRING BREAK EDITION! Let’s face it, not everyone will be partying in Cabo or Lake Havasu this spring break. Each year, more students are exploring alternative options that give them a chance to give back to a community in need or offer a chance to build their resume. Many more are dreaming of sleeping in and the comfort food that awaits them back home. But if your spring break happens to include an exotic locale and partying, the Red Cup Q&A is here to help. Use these tips to get the most out of your spring break and make it one you can remember: 1) STAY IN YOUR SWEET SPOT - Savvy spring breakers know that the week is a marathon, not a sprint. Use a BAC calculator app to figure out how many drinks per hour you can have to stay in your “sweet spot” – generally .05 BAC or under. 2) GET CONSENT - It’s the Wildcat Way. Consent can’t be given if someone is
incapacitated due to drugs or alcohol, and sex without consent is rape. Best bet? Always ask for consent, and make sure your partner is sober enough to say “yes” when they are feeling it... and “no” when they’re not. 3) PROTECT YOURSELF - Whether you plan to hook up or not, bring condoms just in case. Your goal is to bring back good memories, NOT a sexually transmitted infection (STI). While you’re at it, bring a hat and use sunscreen to avoid getting fried after long days in the sun. If you are driving to your spring break destination, hit the road well rested, buckle up, and don’t text and drive – it can wait. 4) BUDDY UP - Stick with friends you know and trust, especially when you are far from home/campus. Having a sober friend can help the group steer clear of sketchy situations; they’ll also have the skills and presence of mind to step up if someone needs help.

The Daily Wildcat
Artists, scientists and bored college students on the Internet have something in common: They are all explorers. If you consider yourself one of the above, you can have your very own artwork sent to space as part of the #WeTheExplorers campaign for the OSIRIS-REx mission. The UA leads this NASA mission, which aims to collect a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth. Public art will be loaded onto a drive that will catch a ride on the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft that takes off for the asteroid Bennu in September. Through the #WeTheExplorers campaign, NASA hopes to encourage people to reflect on what it means to be an explorer in any area of life. The project brings public attention to how creative scientists must be to answer questions about our solar system’s origins and the possibility of future collision of the asteroid Bennu with Earth—issues the OSIRIS-REx mission aims to address. As the leader of the OSIRIS-REx mission, the UA boasts a team of scientists—or explorers— who work on everything from developing analysis software to making chemical sensor instruments. “We are in the planning stages of the mission,” said Dr. Ellen Howell, senior research scientist in the spectral analysis and sample site selection working group. “We are taking laboratory measurements of materials that we think the asteroid might have on the
surface, and ‘practicing’ [the analyses with original software].” Howell de-bugs software and makes plots, yet she still sees lots of space for creativity. Howell said she and her team are often discovering new ways to look at the data or combining different types of data to help tell them more. “Science requires a lot of creativity. It is basically solving puzzles,” Howell said. “The public should be involved and share the excitement of what we find.” Howell believes the #WeTheExplorers is a great way for anyone to participate in cuttingedge science. Dr. William Boynton, mission instrument scientist for OSIRIS-REx, said he “suspect[s] that most people do not appreciate how creative science can be.” Boynton oversees the design, building and testing of all the instruments on board. “The best scientists need to be very creative,” he said, adding that even he has recently had to exercise creativity. “[I’m] finding novel ways to change our plans so that we can do a much better job of pointing the instruments … to provide much better quality data.” The UA Museum of Art is also participating in the #WeTheExplorers campaign. The museum hopes to send some pieces by Robert McCall up to Bennu. McCall was an artist for the NASA Art Program who died in 2010, so it seems appropriate to send his work to space. Traveling beyond the fringes of Earth’s atmosphere won’t be a first for McCall’s work.
He designed postage stamps that flew to the moon on Apollo 15 in 1971. “McCall had a front row seat to some of the greatest moments in space exploration history,” said UA Art Museum archivist Jill McCleary. McCall has artwork on patches for NASA missions and was the creative force behind some NASA space center murals. Members of the public can view McCall’s work from March 26 through Nov. 6 at the art museum’s exhibit titled “McCall at the Movies: Selections from the Archive of Visual Arts.” All art forms will be accepted to travel on OSIRIS-REx, from poetry and pictures to short movies and music, according to the #WeTheExplorers website. Members of the public are invited to submit artwork online with the hashtag #WeTheExplorers, and they must tag @OSIRISREx on Twitter or @OSIRIS_REX on Instagram. When you submit your masterpiece, remember to make sure that your account settings allow public access to your submission. No matter whether your preferred artistic medium is natural dyes, fluorescent microscope images or the latest memes, you can express your inner explorer by submitting your art online before March 20, at 11:59 p.m. PST, or before the drive is full. — Follow Alison Comrie @DailyWildcat

Even though WIMS is one of the newest additions to the UA club roster, it has wasted no time in publicizing its existence and organizing events for its members and community. WIMS, along with Women in Science and Engineering, has organized an outreach activity for local high school girls to introduce them to science as a career. During the activity, students will test the vitamin C concentration in different fruit juices, using the everyday act
of selecting a beverage to demonstrate the vast opportunities open to women in medicine and science. “WIMS will be a great place for young women to figure out the different steps that need to be taken in order to be prepared for further schooling and advancement in their intended career,” said Devan Arkley, recent UA psychology graduate and WIMS’ treasurer. “I just remember wishing there were other women in an organization I could surround

There is a new club for women in premedical and other health-focused programs at the UA. Women in Medicine and Science was formed with the goal of providing women interested in medical careers with support and encouragement. Neuroscience junior Eleni Moschonas founded the organization after interviewing a practicing female neurologist, who said she would have loved to have a club supporting women in medicine in college. “I thought, ‘Well, this has to exist at the UA,’” Moschonas said. “This is such a big campus; there’s so many pre-med students here, and there wasn’t [a club like this].” It is critical to support women during their undergraduate education, Moschonas said, since women who are in medical school or are already in the workforce have many similar organizations to join. Since pre-med students feel pressure to participate in as many activities as possible to get into medical school, without personalized experience, women in pre-med can often feel lost. WIMS’ mission is to encourage female students to continue on their pre-med path, as well as to empower women who are returning to the workforce by providing them with the
myself with that helped me gain knowledge about the things I would need.” While the name might make WIMS appear to only be open to female pre-med students at the UA, students of all genders are welcome to join, provided they carry the requisite 3.2 GPA and a passion for healthcare. “We need men as well as women to support women in medicine,” Moschonas said. While the application period for WIMS for the spring is over, the WIMS application for next semester will open in the fall. Moschonas hopes that WIMS will attract more like-minded students who are passionate about medicine in the next year and will continue to work to change the way women are perceived and treated in medicine. “I want WIMS to be a chapter promoting support, camaraderie and education for women,” Arkley said. “This group will be purposeful and successful, because we will be the support and the people you need to know with the contacts to help you succeed and look amazing on paper and reach the goals to make you a professional.” With its vision, passion and focus on specific important issues, WIMS can surely make a mark on the UA medical community.

Top UN climate official to step down in July BY MADDIE PICKENS The Daily Wildcat
Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, announced her plans to step down from her post in July. Figueres has served in the position for six years, most notably overseeing the talks in Paris this winter on climate change. Figueres will most likely be succeeded by someone from a developed nation, like her predecessor Yvo de Boer, who was from the Netherlands. Her successor will have their work cut out for them as they will be responsible for implementing the Paris agreement that Figueres successfully wrangled. “Christiana Figueres was instrumental in getting the international climate change negotiations back on track after a disappointing outcome in Copenhagen [Denmark] in 2009, and helped set the stage for the successful agreement that was reached in Paris last year,” said Elizabeth Baldwin, an assistant professor in the UA School of Government and Public Policy. “Her leadership helped bring both developed and developing countries to agree to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.” The Copenhagen talks were disappointing
for a number of reasons, according to Baldwin. They notably ended in distrust between economically vulnerable countries and more developed powers like the U.S. The talks barely managed to define the scientific case for bounding temperature rises. The Paris talks, meanwhile, were more successful as 195 nations agreed to shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energies with the ultimate goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2100. The progress was due in large part to the work of Figueres, who focused heavily on building trust between nations with definitively different interests—from superpowers like the U.S. and China, to smaller island nations concerned with rising international waters. Whoever follows in Figueres’ footsteps will need the diplomatic finesse to continue carrying out this ambitious agreement, while simultaneously convincing world leaders that expansion of the goals is necessary. Enforcing the agreement could prove difficult, as it is based entirely on voluntary commitments of countries. Over the course of the next few months, countries will have the opportunity to name potential successors to Figueres, who will eventually be vetted by the U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. He also elevated
the post from the position of executive secretary to undersecretary general, which underscores the support for environmental issues that the secretary general has shown throughout his tenure. It also ensures the open position will likely attract top talent, given that its prestige has been elevated in the U.N. hierarchy. In her publicly available resignation letter, Figueres stated, “the Paris Agreement is a historical achievement … it has been an honor to support you along this path over the past six years. We now move into a phase of urgent implementation. The journey that lies ahead will require continued determination, ingenuity and, above all, our collective sense of humanity and purpose. I know that together you will again rise to the task.” Figueres’ resignation comes at a turning point for climate change negotiations. Not only do the Paris agreements need to be carried through, but other key figures have been resigning—like French foreign minister Laurent Fabius, the main host of the Paris summit. Only time will tell what the impact will be. UN CLIMATE CHANGE CC BY 2.0
