The sound of an ambulance siren rang throughout the UA campus at 12:42 a.m. on a brisk December night. It’s never good news when an ambulance is called, and that day was no exception. University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived to an ominous scene. Outside of 1103 E. Second St., laid an unconscious man. He was breathing but unable to stand, sit up or answer any questions. The signs were all there: red and watery eyes, slurred speech, and a strong smell of intoxicants. The ambulance transported the man to the University of Arizona Medical Center. While he was at the hospital, he wouldn’t respond

Cocaine on campus
Reports of cocaine use are rare on the UA campus. Last year, UAPD records showed only eight citations of cocaine use and possession. In total, 13.3 grams of cocaine were seized. Campus Health Service reported similar findings in their 2014 Health and Wellness survey, with only 2.9 percent of students admitting they used cocaine in the past 30 days. However, the student population has said otherwise,

Rillito Park Racetrack, Tucson’s local horse racing track, will host the historic El Moro de Cumpas race on March 21. The race’s estimated $50,000 purse is the largest amount to ever be offered at the track. Just last year, the racetrack was planned to be torn down. However,
the publicity and popularity of the Race Track Industry Program helped restore the track’s functionality. RTIP is the only one of its kind in the nation and created a partnership with the UA in which students can develop skills in business management of the racetrack, as well as breeding and racing animals.

TUCSON FESTIVAL OF BOOKS
Alum returns to talk historical fiction BY ANNA MAE LUDLUM The Daily Wildcat
UA alumna Nancy E. Turner will join two author panels during the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend. Having authored five historical fiction books, Turner will discuss her experiences and adventure in writing at Saturday’s panel “Historical Fiction — Reimagine the Past” and Sunday’s panel “Women of the Old West.” Turner spoke with the Daily Wildcat about her inspiring ancestors, the publishing process and what writers must do to reimagine history. Daily Wildcat: What was is that initially inspired you to start digging into your family history? Turner: The main thing that inspired the beginning of it all was simply finding out they had lived and ranched right here in the area around Tucson where I was living for the first time. It was
RACETRACK FROM PAGE 1
Students study the mechanisms of racing on campus, and thanks to RTIP, they have the opportunity to experience a racetrack firsthand. The Rillito Park Racetrack began its involvement with the UA when the racetrack’s general manager and UA RTIP alumnus Michael Weiss realized he wanted to make sure students received hands-on experience before starting their careers. “I wanted to make the track a working lab for the students,” Weiss said. “I was told that the students didn’t have many opportunities to get hands-on experience to work in the industry. As an alum, I wanted to make sure that current and future students are able to have an opportunity to gain that experience.”
from wanting to connect to my ancestors, who I had never known, who lived here 100 years ago. I just felt very inspired that they had come here, and I can’t imagine arriving any place in Arizona and thinking, “OK, I’ll just put up a house and dig a well and live here.” They must have been pretty hardy people.
started imagining it to the time it was published was about two years, and it was two more years after HarperCollins bought it before it was on shelves. Are there downsides to skipping the painstaking process of commercial publishing in favor of self-publishing? Well, I would say the downside is you don’t get the services of a professional editor. You can pay people to do things like that, I think in different levels of selfpublishing, but I would say it does flood an awful lot of work in the publishing market that isn’t really ready.
What did you learn about your ancestors when you began researching your genealogy? The biggest thing I learned is that you can’t count much on oral traditions. Oral history is not the most accurate thing, but I did learn that they lived and ranched in Southern Arizona. They lived through some really tough times. They were good and generous people, and that was very nice to know.
What makes for quality historical fiction? I think good historical fiction is well-researched and doesn’t try to change history but instead makes use of what we know of history to make a realistic setting. I think all of the things that make any writing

good writing applies to historical fiction equally well, if not more so. But one thing I really enjoy is when an author [tries] to stay true to the language of the time and the way people spoke.

How can a writer effectively recreate a historical setting? I think the most important thing to remember is that unless [the place] has gone through something dramatic, you need to go to the place and see the setting. Now, of course Boston nowadays is not Boston in 1700, so you have to do a lot of imagining. You can always find something similar. For instance, Tucson has some very old buildings, old maps and things like that. In the end, you can use different resources. You can walk around in the desert and imagine what it must have been like before there were houses.
of librarians being angry, mean and unhelpful, is detrimental to students. “We want to show these stereotypes to students and let them know that we can and want to be very helpful and that we want them to succeed,” Elliott said. “Being aware of them and [realizing that the stereotypes about librarians] aren’t true can improve how well students do at UA.” Pagowsky said a lot of her research the last few years focused on library stereotypes and how women are represented in the field, especially significant since 80 percent of librarians are women. Elliott is particularly interested in how and why these stereotypes have managed to persist over time. She added a lot of this has to do with depictions in movies and books. Manser said she recently watched Ghostbusters. Both librarians portrayed were elderly white women, which is the common

assumption. Manser said she encourages the audience to look at librarians through a different lens in order to realize how much work they really do. Her concerns are about how these misconstrued labels are damaging the profession, because some may feel like they don’t fit the idea of a “typical librarian.” “I think it’s a really great way to reflect on how we categorize people, which, oftentimes, may be really unfair,” said Manser, who added that she hopes people’s views shift. It is important to recognize and understand how librarians are not only diverse but how the work they do is extremely valuable; having people to guide and connect you to information is essential, Manser said.

Comedy king crowned at stand-up event BY IVANA GOLDTOOTH The Daily Wildcat
Those in need of a good laugh while sampling the talents of UA’s own student comedians were treated at the Last Comic Standing event Tuesday night. Though this is the first year the event has taken place, Courtney Talak, hiring and retention coordinator for the Student Union Memorial Center and a Daily Wildcat photographer, said that should all go well, the comedy competition will hopefully turn into a yearly thing. The plans for Last Comic Standing began last semester when scheduling the events for this semester were underway. “We were throwing ideas around and we were like, ‘Hey, we’ve never done a comedy event before; we should totally do a comedy event,’” Talak said. The event began with introductions of the comedians followed by introducing the host, Arvin Mitchell. Mitchell opened up the show joking about the stage lighting, saying that it felt like he was a rotisserie chicken being cooked under the dull orange lights. Mitchell said he came to campus despite having a back injury after catching someone as they fell. According to Mitchell,

When she’s not acting a mother of three, wrangling one of her many cats or touring the nation on her latest stand-up tour, Paula Poundstone draws comedic inspiration from the day-to-day happenings of her life. “My style is largely b i o g r a p h i c a l ,” Poundstone said. “My favorite part of my routine is talking to the audience, and in this way, little biographies of audience members emerge, and I kind of use that info from which to set my sails. No two shows are the same, because a lot of what I talk about is often directed by who I’m speaking to in the crowd.” She attributes much of her comedic humor to such comedy greats as George Carlin, Gilda Radner and Richard Pryor. “My parents had 11 Bill Cosby albums, which I stole when I moved away from home,” she said. “‘Saturday Night Live’ started when I was in junior high, and I used to watch that a lot. There were many great comedians around. … Really, all I wanted to be was a hybrid of Carol Burnett, Mary-Tyler Moore and Gilda Radner … all of whom I missed by a country mile.” A high school dropout, Poundstone went on to become one of the greatest and most widelyrecognized women humorists of the 20th and 21st centuries. She claims her role as a comedian, amateur and professional have both been long in the making. “For a long time, I knew I wanted to be a comedian, but didn’t always think I could be one,” Poundstone said. “The first sentence of the last paragraph of the summary letter written by [my] kindergarten teacher was, ‘I have enjoyed many humorous comments about our activities.’ It’s been a really long time I’ve enjoyed the comedy dynamic.” Officially kicking off her comedy career in May 1979 at the Boston open mic scene, Poundstone is now a veteran comic who has worked with such legends as Jay Leno and Rosie O’Donnell. She currently performs as a panelist on the NPR

weekly news quiz show “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me…” and has her own countrywide comedy tour. “One of the great things about ‘Wait, Wait’ is being a part of a panel with a bunch of other people,” Poundstone said. “That’s what makes it really fun. Kindly, they call upon me to [do] what I like to do, which is improv. That’s what I really love about being on the show. It’s really fun to do.” Though she enjoys her time on the road, she always anticipates her return home. “I honestly have the greatest job in the world,” she said. “If I were Mrs. Weasley [from ‘Harry Potter’] and I could just disapparate, then this would be an unbelievably great job. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.” Poundstone’s comedic work draws inspiration from her everyday life, politics and viewers’ biographies. “Some people are so used to being right or assume they’re always right,” she said. “But honestly, I’m so used to being wrong most of the time that it has opened up a huge window of opportunities in my stand-up. I talk these days a lot about electronics addiction. … My son is suffering from it quite severely. I don’t know
anybody who doesn’t have a titch of it.” She encourages those unfamiliar with her style to check her out on Twitter and come see her shows. “I like to tell them: ‘Don’t spend all day on it,’ … but a few minutes checking me out won’t do you any harm,” she said. Bringing her new comedy routine to Tucson, Poundstone performs Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Fox Tucson Theatre. “Paula Poundstone will be great in the intimacy of the Fox Theatre,” said Itzik Becher, UA Presents director of programming and development. “[UA Presents] likes to present our jazz concerts at the Fox, because jazz, like comedy, is best experienced in an intimate setting.” Appreciative for her role in the comedy business, Poundstone said she is lucky just to be able to make people laugh. “I get to be the catalyst of endorphins,” she said. “I get a boost from it as well, and it’s probably the most mentally healthy thing someone will do all year. I consider myself a proud member of the endorphin production industry.” — Follow Elise McClain @DailyWildcat
Only in a Shakespeare play can deception, desperation and distrust beautifully divulge an appalling truth about the human condition. William Shakespeare’s carefully crafted pandemonium in “The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice” will wreak havoc on Arizona Repertory Theatre’s stage through April 5. The play tells the story of Othello, the general of the Venetian army, and radiantly beautiful Desdemona. Othello and Desdemona’s relationship is poisoned by Iago, who is frustrated with Othello’s decisions as general. He plants seeds of doubt in Othello’s mind regarding Desdemona’s faithfulness and loyalty asa wife, sitting back and watching the marriage go up in flames. The play tackles issues that transcend its time. It redefines stereotypes on race and gender, examines the roles of jealousy and manipulation in relationships, and tests love’s ability to withstand human faults. Christopher Okawa, a musical theatre senior playing Othello, said he believes the main purpose of the play was to reverse stereotypical roles on race. “I think the overall theme of the play is encompassed in Iago’s line, ‘I am not what I am,’” Okawa said. “Othello is a black man in [an] Anglican society and perceived to be lesser because of that. [But he] is a heroic and bold and courageous man, whereas Iago is an upstanding member of society and ends up being the most evil of the bunch.” Matthew Bowdren, a post-graduate fellow of the Arizona Repertory Theatre playing Iago, had a similar interpretation on the play’s overall theme. “I think it’s a look at how easily our minds can be manipulated, how quickly someone can be changed,” Bowdren said. Kierna Conner, a musical theatre junior who plays Desdemona, said “Othello” is like a case-study in the “ripple effect.” Conner said people’s actions, good or bad, have consequences that reach far beyond their own personal lives. She added that she is reluctant to call Iago a villain, because a person’s actions stem from their past, painful experiences. “We’re either just hurt, or we’re not hurt,” Conner said, “and we act based on our story. … We can’t really blame anything
that happens on any one person.” Taking on Shakespeare’s acclaimed roles is no easy task. The actors prepared for their parts through extensive research and analysis of the play. In the process, some actors were faced with challenges they had not expected. For Conner, who said she wears her heart on her sleeve, Desdemona’s struggles permeated into her own life. “Delving into the content of this show affected me a lot as a person, which I’ve never really dealt with before as an actor,” Conner said. “I’ve never worked on a piece that has affected my life outside of rehearsal a lot. … [I] would come away from … rehearsals feeling really dark inside. I worked a lot on meditating and kind of remembering that I am who I am, and Desdemona is not me — unless I’m on stage.” Similarly, Okawa had to change some of his perceptions in order to mold himself into Othello. “For me, the real challenge was playing such a mythological character,” he said. “Othello [has] been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and many actors, far better than I could hope to be, have portrayed him. So for me, it was really just filtering him through myself and not playing him so much as the mythical Othello, but as a man who happened to be named Othello that these things were happening to.” Bowdren said he does not believe actors should try to interpret their roles. Instead, he noticed Iago is an improviser who does not have a grand scheme of annihilation like other villains. Because of this, Bowdren said that he tries to improvise and go along with Iago’s judgment as he performs. “I think there’s something about [Iago] that just likes chaos and likes hurting people,” Bowdren said. “He’s a soldier, a warrior and this seems to be one of the first times he’s in peacetime, and he doesn’t seem to know what to do with himself except cause problems. So, there’s almost … a compulsion to manipulate.” The Arizona Repertory Theatre’s rendition of “Othello” will be a must-attend event for Shakespeare lovers throughout the month of March.

Cut it out: FGM is its own issue BY HAILEY DICKSON The Daily Wildcat
I
f knives are to be held to a child’s genitals, a thorough discussion better take place first. The dialogue about female “circumcision” — or genital mutilation — has amplified over the past few years. Recent figures released by the UK’s Health and Social Care Information Centre show that nearly 500 women and girls were hospitalized for treatment of FGM in England in January alone. This data indicates how the dangerous practice, often only associated with non-western countries, has moved into Europe and, according to Newsweek, the U.S., with the “number of women and girls at risk for [FGM]” more than doubling in the last decade. As the issue moves closer to home for westerners, numerous political and media movements have arisen to ban the practice on an international scale. But whenever news media attempts to have a conversation about FGM and the need to eliminate its practice, there are always readers who ask the questions: What about male circumcision? Doesn’t it deserve the same media attention and legal treatment? Huffington Post article “Men Break Down Watching Footage Of Female Genital Mutilation, Vow To Speak Out Against Practice” contains no mention of male genital cutting, yet many of the top comments focused on male genital circumcision being equivalent to FGM. This is not an argument for or against male circumcision. That debate certainly needs to take place; it just needs to happen in a different forum than that of FGM. To combine debates about male and female genital circumcision on medical or ethical grounds is unjustified and misleading. Yes, FGM and MGC both involve the cutting of genitals. But the similarities end there. Male circumcision most often involves partial or complete removal of the foreskin, which serves to cover the glans of the penis. The foreskin is said to be anatomically homologous to the clitoral hood in females. Some FGM procedures remove only the clitoral hood, but most additionally remove the clitoris, cut out part or all of the labia minora, and stitch the labia majora together, leaving only a small hole for the excretion of urine and menstrual fluid. When it comes to anatomy, most cases of FGM are more comparable to a full penectomy than to male circumcision. If baby boys’ penises were being lopped off around the world, then we could have a discussion about MGC being equivalent to FGM. Of course, given the publicity surrounding the 2014 case of an Alabama man whose entire penis was removed during a routine circumcision gone bad, a tradition of infant penectomies wouldn’t even get off the ground. Unfortunately, there’s no similar outrage about the epidemic of baby girls suffering an equivalent fate. Moreover, the most commonly cited reasons for male circumcision are religious requirements, cleanliness, aesthetics and reduced transmission of STIs. For women, the most commonly cited reasons are tradition, preservation of virginity and better marriage prospects. Most importantly, the practices differ vastly in their short- and long-term health impacts. According to a 2013 article published in BJUI International, circumcised men face issues such as desensitization and painful erection or urination. Circumcised women, on the other hand, usually encounter pain and bleeding during intercourse, permanent inability to orgasm, blocked menses and urinary tract infection. Furthermore, nonprofit PATH states that those “who have undergone FGM are twice as likely to die during childbirth and are more likely to give birth to a stillborn child than other women.” According to Mary Koss, UA regents’ professor at the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, “The U.S. has the highest rate of [male] circumcision for nonreligious reasons in the world.” The mortality rate for U.S. male circumcision was found to be 1 in 566,000. In Sudan, the country with the fifth highest FGM rate, the mortality rate is estimated to be as high as one death for every three girls. Of course, any death resulting from a procedure performed on a child is one too many. But in a world with limited resources, it makes sense that female genital mutilation, the more fatal practice, is considered the more timely issue receiving more political and media attention. Debate about circumcision, both female and male, is highly necessary and should be encouraged. But, given the differing medical, social and ethical implications of the two practices, it doesn’t make sense to compare the two issues on political grounds. To do so would dilute arguments against either practice and hamper efforts to gain global attention for both.

Starting next year, all AZ IDs are fake IDs to opt out of these Real ID regulations is that the government could be attempting to establish national identification cards, which collect data from every person who holds one. This is an avenue of data mining not unlike Internet activity monitoring and the NSA. Yet, the Real ID is not the datamongering monster some fear it to be. The verification process to get the Real ID is just more rigorous in an attempt to make it harder for fraudsters to get fake IDs. It also requires drivers to update their photos every eight years, an annoying process by anybody’s standards. (Who really wants to wait at the MVD to get their picture taken?) What is more important to you: the annoyance of updating a “Real ID” to appease the federal government or the restriction of your movement by that same government? Arizona, Maine and Louisiana, whose MVDs have not yet conformed to the law, could have its citizens limited in the ways and distance they might travel. Freedom of Movement is governed by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which states, “The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in

A students often complain about the new state law requiring drivers’ licenses to be flipped from vertical to horizontal within 30 days of turning 21 before they can be used to purchase booze. The exclusion pertains to liquor stores and club and bar entrance. What is less discussed is what the horizontal ID will do for you after 2016 — little else, apparently. Arizona is a state whose IDs don’t meet federal “Real ID” guidelines. Starting as soon as January 2016, all drivers’ licenses will be useless to enter a government building or fly out of state. In short, your Arizona state license will do less than what you need it to. Established after 9/11, The Real ID Act sets criteria for identification, prohibiting boarding planes and entering federal buildings if said ID doesn’t chalk up. The concern that Arizona state legislators expressed when they chose
the several States.” Should Arizona choose not to buy into Real ID regulations, our rights to travel nationally may be affected in ways not protected by our laws. In a world without borders, as the Information Age has often been declared, to restrict a person’s movement is wrong to the umpteenth degree. The obvious workaround is to acquire another form of identification, such as a passport. Around 30-40 percent of Americans currently possess one, and it’s unlikely the same statistic is replicated in each of the states without the correct ID regulations. Given the obvious limiting factors and the ridiculous claim that a Real ID could put a citizen in any more danger than current data mining on the Internet, what is the real harm? The only harm is what would come if Arizona does not conform to the Real ID Act.

Letter from the President
Your Views In response to “Fighting for final votes,” by Adriana Espinosa (March 10) Any student with the passion to apply to a position has the ability to do it! ASUA experience is not necessary. In my view, if you have “ASUA Experience,” it means that you are normalized to the cliques within the organization and are also more open to allowing HATEFUL, RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC and ANTI-SEMITIC language, among other things, with no regard to students around you. — StudentsDeserveRespect
In response to “Speak against Autism Speaks,” by Tom Johnson (March 2) We have a 3-year-old with fine motor delays, nonverbal, ADHD, non-potty trained but very loving toward adults. We love him [to] no ends, but he drives us nuts. It is EXHAUSTING. We are constantly worried what his future holds with his delays and if he has a low IQ. Do I wish he did not have delays and was developing with his peers? Absolutely! And if someone is trying to bring awareness to his issues and fund research which can detect/alter such conditions, kudos to them. Without Autism Speaks, we would not have so much awareness and help. — nid15
In response to “Two words: ‘Nap center,’” by Editorial Board (March 10) This is everything that is wrong with these two institutions! We need people in these positions who recognize that there are so many issues and changes that need to be made in ASUA. By electing your normal FCC, Sophos, Chain Gang “know everything about ASUA,” they are blind to what the perception of the organization is outside their bubble. ASUA is not a welcoming place for those that were not “brought up” into it. — Frustrated ASUA member

[The] dysfunctional biochemistry [exhibited by people with autism] is not healthy. It shortens lives and lowers the quality of life in many cases. We need talented people who will investigate it, and I hope more scientists do. To the extent Autism Speaks funds research that investigates … ways to ameliorate its undesirable effects, I believe that [its] actions are laudable and deserving of support. It also doesn’t matter to me if the people studying this biochemistry or funding studies on it have autism or not. To be clear, we should celebrate the lives and successes of those with autism as well. In other words, pursuing scientific investigations on … ways to ameliorate autism’s undesirable effects does not and should not take anything away from the accomplishments of people with autism. — Seth Bittker
In response to “States fight LGBTQ-friendly city laws,” by Maddie Pickens (March 10) An IDENTICAL bill was introduced by Republicans here in West Virginia. It was under the guise of making West Virginia’s civil rights laws more “uniform,” thus improving the state’s business climate. But it was really about punishing LGBT West Virginians for being granted the right to marry last November. … [This] goes to show how truly vindictive the GOP is. — Chuck Anziulewicz

POLICE BEAT BY AMBER WHITE

Joint custody
A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Coronado Residence Hall to investigate a report about the smell of marijuana coming from Room 560 on Feb. 25 at 12:08 a.m. The officer knocked on the door, and a woman answered claiming to be one of the occupants. When the officer questioned the smell coming from the room, she admitted smoking marijuana earlier that day somewhere off campus. She let the officer in the room so they could talk. She said she smoked marijuana with a glass pipe and pointed to a small, blue glass pipe lying on her roommate’s desk, who was currently in the shower. The woman also said they both owned the pipe and used it to smoke marijuana together. The roommate exited the shower and said the pipe was purchased at a smoke shop, and neither woman said where they got the marijuana. Both were diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of paraphernalia. The pipe was placed into evidence.

A UAPD officer entered the Circle K at 1610 E. Sixth St. when he noticed a college-aged man standing in front of the store, apparently waiting for another man, who was buying a 12-pack of beer on Feb. 26 at 11:13 p.m. The two men met up outside the Circle K, and the officer followed them to Seventh Street where they started running westbound while the officer continued to follow them. He finally caught up with them west of the Student Recreation Center. Both men were asked for their identification. The two were both under the age of 21. One of the men gave the officer a fake ID, which was used to purchase the beer. They claimed to have purchased the alcohol to drink together in their residence hall. The man who purchased the beer said he gave the Circle K cashier his fake ID and debit card, which he provided to the officer. The other man said he was aware of all this happening and was part of it. The beer was poured out in the nearby dirt area, and the cans were thrown away in a garbage can. Both were diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession of alcohol.

COCAINE FROM PAGE 1
suggesting cocaine use is more popular than the data suggests. “It’s more common than people think; if I wanted a gram of cocaine, I can get it delivered to me within half an hour,” said Michael Grey*, a UA student. “In fact, I’ve never gone to a person’s house to get the drug. I’ve actually only had it delivered. That’s how socially available it is.” When asked to give an estimate, he supposed cocaine use is five times greater than the data Campus Health suggests. At any given party, 10 to 20 percent of those in attendance are using the drug, Grey said. “That is a lot lower than what I expect for the school,” said Zach Hamm**, a UA student. “More than 2 percent of the people I know have tried it.”
The experience
Sometimes, curiosity gets the best of everyone. For Hamm, the call of cocaine came from his search for new experiences. “I guess I was interested in trying [cocaine], because it was a different state of mind,” he said. “It was something that I hadn’t done. So, I was interested in how it affected me.” Hamm first tried the drug at a party when he ran into someone who did cocaine in the past. Hamm said he knew the risk he was taking. “It was something that I had known was bad for you, and I was … I guess of the mindset that it was something that I would try, just because I was curious,” Hamm said. Minutes later, he did his first line of cocaine. Since then, he’s used cocaine a total of three times. Today, he said he doesn’t feel compelled to use it anymore, citing the heart issues that come with heavy cocaine use. The first time Grey tried cocaine was his freshman year. As with Hamm, it was at a party. “Basically, when I became involved with the Greek Life, it was sort of socially accepted, and it was just brought,” Grey said. Peer pressure was absent. No one pushed him into doing the drug. “It was so nonchalant that it was no big deal,” Hamm said. “I just went into a room and did a line, and that was the first time.” At certain times in his college career, he did it every other weekend. “When I was using it, I wasn’t concerned about my health; I was only using it when I was drinking,” Hamm said. The price for a gram of good
News • Wednesday, March 11, 2015 cocaine runs at about $50, according to Hamm. “You can definitely tell [the quality of the cocaine],” he said. “When you use it, it’s the numbness that you get. You get a numbing sensation throughout your mouth and your face sort of. Mostly in your mouth.” The number the sensation, the more pure the cocaine. Grey has since stopped using cocaine. He said he’s older now and the drug is more appealing to younger college students looking to experiment with drugs.
Cocaine facts
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, cocaine is a “powerfully addictive stimulant drug made from the leaves of the coca plant native to South America.” It can be snorted, injected or dissolved. The drug affects the central nervous system, flooding the brain with dopamine — a hormone that produces the feel good “high” of cocaine. In a stressful environment like college, it’s easy to see cocaine’s appeal. “It’s just a really strong head rush, and you feel very powerful,” Hamm said. “It’s a strong sense of euphoria. You’re very up and energetic. It’s a cheap high. You’re very elevated. You feel very confident, up and powerful I guess, and really excited. But it fades very quickly.” Grey had a similar reaction to his cocaine use and said that it makes the user more energetic and outgoing. “You’re tuned in,” he said. “When you’re drunk, it kind of sobers you up a bit.”
The dangers of cocaine
Cocaine also comes with a number of dangerous side effects. In particular, it increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Lynn Reyes, a prevention specialist and substance abuse counselor at Campus Health, said cocaine increases “heart rate and blood pressure. It can take away and suppress appetite or sleep.” It can also “cause headaches and gastrointestinal complications, such as abdominal pain and nausea,” according to the NIH. Kelly Irving, the director of Women’s Substance Abuse for CODAC, worries students aren’t taking the effects of cocaine and the possibility of addiction seriously enough. “When people start using drugs, they don’t realize that they are addictive, and it can become a problem,” Irving said. “‘Oh, I can do it; I’m not going to be like that. I can control it,’ type of thing.” She said some addicts experience
major life problems before they realize it “is actually a problem.”
The evolution of cocaine use
Irving has good reason to be concerned. In the UA party scene, cocaine use seems to be extremely casual. In fact, it’s been labeled by some as a social drug. “It’s so socially accepted, and I mean, you see other people doing it,” Grey said. “Normally, you get into a room. They chop up a bunch of lines on a table, and about five or six people do a line and they go back out and party like it’s no big deal.” Both Grey and Hamm said that cocaine and alcohol seem to go hand in hand. “I was only using it when I was drinking, and it was normally Saturday morning when I was hung over and we were having a day party,” Grey said. “That’s how I would use it — to get me amped up for the party.” Cocaine mixed with alcohol produces a chemical in the liver called cocaethylene. Cocaethylene “prolongs the effects of euphoria.” It’s dangerous, because cocaine users can drink considerably more than their body can tolerate. As a result, they become oblivious to the damage they’re inflicting on their own body, according to an article in The Guardian. Cocaine’s withdrawal effects are intense. They include “fatigue, lack of pleasure, anxiety, irritability, sleepiness, and sometimes agitation or extreme suspicion or paranoia,” according to the NIH. However, students have found a shortcut around these withdrawal symptoms. “The comedown on it is extremely bad,” Grey said. “You get very anxious thoughts. Typically, I’ve seen a lot of guys purchase Xanax for the morning after to chill them out.” Irving stressed that mixing cocaine with Xanax is not a solution. “Xanax and alcohol are both depressants,” Irving said. “And so you’re putting a depressant into your system as well as a stimulant. That really messes up your body. They don’t even out each other.”
Moving forward
Cocaine use comes with a number of complications. For example, it’s hard to identify whether an individual is on cocaine or not unless you actually see them do it, Reyes said. There’s also no easy way to treat addiction. “There’s no medication to help with the cravings or addiction to the drug,” Irving said. “Not like methadone would be for heroin

addiction.” It’s hard to determine how big the problem of cocaine use is on campus. There’s a strong possibility it is underreported; not many students will admit to using the drug in fear of arrest. There’s also a strong possibility of a vocal minority. It is possible cocaine use is rare on campus, just as UAPD and Campus Health reports. “I hear anecdotally that people are feeling like a lot of people are using it; I think it depends on where you are and your perspective,” Reyes said. “If you’re hanging
around with groups that use a lot of drugs or use a lot of cocaine, you’re going to believe that everyone is doing it.” Editor’s note: The names of Michael Grey* and Zach Hamm** , both UA students, have been changed to protect the identities of the sources.

THE ARIZONA MEN’S basketball team rejoices after winning the Pac-12 championship and beating Stanford 91-69 in McKale Center on Saturday. While Arizona does not need to win the Pac-12 tournament to make the NCAA tournament, several teams from the middle to bottom of the conference need successful weekends to get in.

The Pac-12 Conference’s men’s basketball’s regular season came to an end last week with a few surprises and another championship for Arizona. Tonight, the quest for the Conference of Champions’ automatic berth into the NCAA tournament begins for the bottom eight teams, all of which seemingly need to win the tourney to make it to the Big Dance. No. 1 seed Arizona (28-3, 16-2 Pac-12) Arizona beat No. 2 seed Oregon by 18 and 34 points and went 5-0 against the Ducks, Utah and UCLA. Plus, it’ll be pissed off that it lost Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. First tournament game: winner of No. 8 California and No. 9 Washington State DW odds to win the tournament: 2/1 No. 2 seed Oregon (23-8, 13-5) The Ducks started from the bottom (three players were kicked off the team for allegedly gang raping a female student, who is
suing the school), and now they’re here. Apparently impressed by how UO dealt with the scandal, Pac-12 coaches even gave it Coach of the Year and Player of the Year awards, truly a black eye for the league. First tournament game: winner of No. 7 Oregon State and No. 10 Colorado DW odds to win the tournament: 5/1 No. 3 seed Utah (23-7, 13-5) The second best team in the conference all year long, the Utes let Oregon slide into the second slot by losing late in the season to the Ducks, Arizona and Washington. The loss to the Huskies was an absolute stunner, as UW had lost 13 of 14, only beating lowly Washington State. First tournament game: winner of No. 6 Stanford and No. 11 Washington DW odds to win the tournament: 4/1 No. 4 seed UCLA (19-12, 11-7) According to ESPN’s Bracketology, and everyone knows Joe Lunardi’s picks are the word of God, the Bruins are currently out of the NCAA tournament. Good
thing UCLA plays well in Las Vegas, Nev., as it won last year’s Pac-12 tournament. First tournament game: winner of No. 5 ASU and No. 12 USC DW odds to win the tournament: 8/1 No. 5 seed ASU (17-14, 9-9) The Sun Devils shockingly rose to the fifth seed by winning five of their last seven after starting Pac12 play 0-4. ASU took Oregon to overtime and beat Arizona, UCLA and Stanford, but it’s 2-9 on the road and 0-2 on neutral courts. First tournament game: No. 12 USC (11-19, 3-15) DW odds to win the tournament: 20/1 No. 6 seed Stanford (18-12, 9-9) Once the third-best team in the conference, the Cardinal limped into the postseason and gave away its at-large spot in the NCAA tournament. Stanford is talented, but it’s lost five of its last seven. First tournament game: No. 11 Washington (16-14, 5-13) DW odds to win the tournament: 16/1
No. 7 seed Oregon State (17-13, 8-10) If the Pac-12 tournament was on campus, like the first two Pac10 tournaments, and at OSU, the Beavers would be a favorite. However, since it’s not in Corvallis, Ore., Oregon State, which was 2-9 on the road and 0-2 on neutral courts, is out of luck. First tournament game: No. 10 Colorado (14-16, 7-11) DW odds to win the tournament: 20/1 No. 8 seed California (17-14, 7-11) The Golden Bears’ renaissance was impressive. They climbed out of the basement after losing six in a row and eight of nine, but their tournament stay will likely be brief. They’ve lost five of their last six games. First tournament game: No. 9 Washington State (13-17, 7-11) DW odds to win the tournament: 25/1 No. 9 seed Washington State (1317, 7-11) The Cougars surprised everyone by starting conference play 3-1, including a win over Oregon, who

It’s hard to believe that a year ago, Arizona baseball was on the road to anywhere but Omaha in its worst season of the Andy Lopez era. March 8 marked one year since the 2014 team voted to indefinitely suspend then-starter Joseph Maggi for allegedly showing up to a game intoxicated. The then-junior outfielder sat out five games before returning to the lineup as a substitute. That was the tipping point for how the team’s season would pan out. Before then, Arizona had endured a five-game losing streak, getting swept by Seton Hall and Long Beach State. Players also had to readjust to coach Andy Lopez, who had been out all fall after undergoing quadruple bypass surgery. Arizona won the Pac12 Conference opener against Washington State when Maggi, a starter on the 2012 national championship team, was reinstated but fell into an eightgame losing streak after.

It’s on track to put up the same number it did in last season’s flop, when it left 450 on. But conference play is something those on the confident team say they need and are ready for, starting with this weekend’s Pac-12 opener against Utah, one of two conference teams Arizona won a series against last season. “We don’t come here to Arizona to play these other teams; we come here to play in the Pac,” Kingery said. “We’re excited, we’re ready to get after it and we’re going to see what we’ve got.”

MEN’S GOLF
UA finishes in seventh place in Chula Vista BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
Arizona men’s golf took an early spring break trip out to San Diego for the Lamkin San Diego Classic in Chula Vista, Calif., and the Wildcats finished in the middle of the pack at seventh place on Tuesday. The Wildcats were one of three Pac-12 Conference teams to compete in the event, joining Oregon State and Washington. The Wildcats were coming off of, arguably, the worst performance as a team last weekend in Tucson for the National Invitational Tournament, when the Wildcats had to deal with tough, windy conditions at Omni Tucson National, and finished in 12th place. A win before spring break would have been ideal for Arizona coach Jim Anderson’s club. “I feel like we did much better as a team, and we were able to get the shots that we wanted [in] the final round,” Anderson said. “We had some costly mistakes on the first day, which hurt us on the leader board, but we progressed and had a much better final day.” The two-day tournament contained three rounds. Two of the three rounds were held on opening day, much like the Arizona Intercollegiate spring opener in January. As a team, Arizona has been in a stalemate all season and hasn’t been able to get over the hump to get a team win. Anderson put the Wildcats in an interesting situation by implementing a younger lineup that consisted of Peter Koo, George Cunningham, Max Donohue and Jake Kreuz. Each player in the lineup, other than Alex McMahon and Ricky Lee, were freshmen. “I gave our team a new look this week and decided to add four freshmen into our lineup, and I thought our young guys played well,” Anderson said. “All of our guys are extremely competitive, so it didn’t surprise me that [they] played well.”
The Wildcats teed off for the first round on Monday and once again hit a plateau, finishing in sole possession of eighth place. Arizona shot 295 (+7) as a team, and Cunningham was the only player to place in the top 10, being tied for seventh place after shooting a 70 (-2). Cunningham was strong in the opening round, tallying three consecutive birdies on the back nine, before bogeying the 18th hole during the first round. He also caught a spark in the second round, despite making two bogeys, and ended tied for fourth place at 3-under-par after the second round. Cunningham would go on to finish the tournament shooting a 2-under-par, which was good for eighth place. Kreuz has progressed throughout the season and finished the first two rounds tied for 18th place (+1). He earned an eagle on the second hole par 5 on the first round. “Jake has been great for us all season, and he’s a true competitor, which is why he’s consistently in our lineup,” Anderson said. Kreuz had costly mistakes on the front nine in the final round, which consisted of a double bogey and three bogeys, but recovered on the back nine with two birdies. Despite picking up the pace on the back nine, Kruez would fall on the individual leaderboard and finish tied for 23rd place at 3-under-par. “The front nine, I wasn’t getting the shots placed where I wanted them,” Kreuz said, “but I felt like not only myself but the team played good compared to last week.” The Wildcats will take some time off before traveling to Stanford for The Goodwin on March 26 for a three-day event.

ARIZONA MEN’S BASKETBALL coach Sean Miller argues that a UCLA player touched the ball during a press conference after Arizona’s 66-64 loss against UCLA during the 2013 Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas, Nev., on March 15, 2013. Miller and the Wildcats have struggled to perform in Las Vegas, a trend the team hopes to reverse this season.
BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 7
having won the outright regular season championship in backto-back seasons, but history says the Wildcats will lose the Pac-12 tournament. Arizona is just 3-2 in the Pac-12 tournament since it moved to Sin City. It’s only beaten No. 5 seed Colorado in 2013, No. 8 seed Utah and another fifth-seeded Colorado in 2014. So, why does the Pac-12 tournament matter? The Wildcats already won the real Pac-12 Championship. Sure, a tournament title means an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. But Arizona needs to win the Pac-12 tourney to keep its hopes of getting a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance, because it’s had bad losses, the most heinous being a continuation of the Las Vegas curse. The Wildcats lost 71-67 at UNLV on Dec. 23. The Runnin’ Rebels lost to Utah by 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, just three days before that, and by 22 to ASU when the Sun Devils were still trying to figure things out. Arizona is 1-8 in Las Vegas against UNLV, and UA coach Sean Miller is 0-2 versus the Runnin’ Rebels in Sin City. The Wildcats’ only win in Las Vegas against UNLV was in 2007. The Runnin’ Rebels were good before any of
the current players were born, and pretty good a few years ago, but Arizona should certainly have a better record than 1-8 against them in Las Vegas. The conference tournament moved to Las Vegas in 2013, which figured to give Arizona a big advantage, but the Wildcats have yet to win the championship there. By all accounts, Arizona fans paint the town red. The UA had a team that made it to the Sweet Sixteen in 2013 and a team that made it to the Elite Eight in 2014, but they still came home empty-handed. The Wildcats lost to UCLA 66-64 in the semifinals in 2013. Arizona lost because of a technical foul called on Miller when he complained about UCLA guard Jordan Adams touching the ball, causing Arizona guard Mark Lyons to dribble again. The Pac-12 officials missed Adams touching the ball, and probably fouling Lyons, too, and called Lyons for a double dribble. “He touched the ball,” Miller said. Afterwards, Miller was fined $25,000 by the Pac-12 for
confronting conference officials after the game, and it was revealed that (soon to be former) Pac-12 coordinator of basketball officials Ed Rush offered a reward for whoever gave Miller his first technical foul of the season. All ball touching aside, Arizona was the four seed, and UCLA was the top seed, so that loss makes sense. However, last season, the Wildcats lost to the Bruins again, this time in the title game, 75-71. Arizona was the No. 1 seed and had beaten UCLA 79-75 in Los Angeles, Calif. The UA is tied with UCLA for the most Pac-10/Pac-12 tournament championships with four but hasn’t won since 2002. Arizona has had as much trouble in Sin City as the Hangover’s wolf pack — only there’s no obvious choice as to who gave them the roofie. Will this season finally be the one when the Wildcats reverse their Las Vegas curse?
By all accounts, Arizona fans paint the town red

First tournament game: No. 8 California (17-14, 7-11) DW odds to win the tournament: 30/1 No. 10 seed Colorado (14-16, 7-11) Once considered a threat to Arizona’s repeat championship, the Buffaloes fell hard after two of their big three, Askia Booker and Josh

First tournament game: No. 7 Oregon State (17-13, 8-10) DW odds to win the tournament: 18/1 No. 11 seed Washington (16-14, 5-13) The Huskies started the season 11-0, matching the best start in UW coach Lorenzo Romar’s stint in Seattle, before losing seven in a row and 10 of 11. Washington capped the season with a shocking upset of Utah, which gave it some hope. First tournament game: No. 6 seed Stanford (18-12, 9-9)
Fresh off the toughest weekend of the season, Arizona softball saw its national ranking drop from No. 13 to No. 18. The Wildcats went 2-3 at the Judi Garman Classic, including their worst loss in program history against Auburn in a 20-2 blowout. Arizona’s record dropped to 21-6 after the Wildcats lost to three teams ranked in the top15 of the latest USA Today/ NFCA Division I Top 25 Poll. Arizona softball coach Mike Candrea said the weekend was “tough” for the Wildcats and didn’t go as well as it could have. “We let these games get out of hand. … We have to be able to swing the bats, and we just did not swing the bats well,” Candrea said. “I don’t think we had a really good plan when we walked up to the plate. We got some things that we have to work on to be able to beat good teams.” Arizona is in much of the same boat as last season. The team had its sixth loss of the season on March 17 against UCLA and had won 23 games previous to that. This year, Arizona won 20 games before suffering its loss. It’s not the end of the world, but Candrea is certainly not

thrilled with how the season has gone so far, especially with how his team approaches opponents with different talent levels. “Right now, we play a lot different when we play a team we know that we can beat, and then we play differently when there’s a team that is going to challenge us,” Candrea said. “We just haven’t met the challenge, but I feel like this team will do that.”
Parks suffers injury
Arizona freshman pitcher Trish Parks was injured over the weekend at the Judi Garman Classic and was not at the team’s practice on Tuesday. According to Candrea, Parks was injured while sliding into third base, and it’s uncertain what the extent of her injury is. “Just a slide at third base, [and] a kid came down and hit her head,” Candrea said. “We’re kind of watching her right now.” Parks has started all 24 games she’s participated in during her freshman season and is fourth on the team in batting average at .386, third in home runs with five and fourth in RBIs with 18. CATS Medical Services assistant athletic trainer Bruce Johnston said he could not release any information regarding Parks’ injury or the

I’ve been with these guys since I was 18. I miss training with them, you know?
timetable for her return to the field. “I don’t have her release to talk to you about [the injury],” Johnston said.
Wildcats preparing for long road trip
Unlike fall sports, there is a week period of class recess for spring break. Instead of heading to a festive location, Arizona softball will be on the road playing five games before March 19 and two more road games on March 21. With those games coming over spring break, players such as sophomore pitcher Michelle Floyd said that it’s easier knowing the players will not have school work to make up when they return. “It’s kind of nice that it’s during spring break, so it’s not like we have to miss school or anything,” Floyd said. “That takes a lot of pressure off, actually. It becomes a lot more stressful when you have to [make] up classes and you’re on the road.” The Wildcats don’t have another home game until March 27 when ASU comes to Hillenbrand Stadium to open the home portion of the conference season. — Follow Roberto Payne @HouseofPayne555
We’re like a big family. So, it was nice to be back, seeing everyone again.” Up next for the former Wildcats are personal workouts, but Hill said he’s excited for the chance to relax a bit after seeing his friends post poolside photos on Instagram following their pro days. “I’m going to go find a pool and post a picture as soon as possible,” Hill said, laughing.
