The UA Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows hosted a week of events, including the Peace Corps Fair and a symposium with a panel of alumni and honored speakers, to celebrate 15 years of service last week. “[Volunteering with the Peace Corps] is just a great way to get to live and work in another culture,” said Benjamin Kowalski, a returned Peace Corps volunteer from Ecuador and UA Peace Corps Coverdell Fellow. “It’s two years, so you really become a part of that community, rather than doing a group trip or being a tourist.”

Adjuncts’ roles on rise but not wages

As college costs and demands have increased, adjuncts and graduate students have taken up more duties of instruction, research and teacher assistance at campuses throughout the nation — and the UA is no exception.

Adjuncts and graduate students teach more than 40 percent of UA undergraduate courses. As the duties of adjunct faculty have risen over the years, talks have shifted to increased pay and job security.

The current discussion over payment for contingent staff is being held amid a trend of rising college tuition rates and stagnating instructor salaries. In the last five years, the cost of in-state tuition alone has increased by 70 percent in Arizona, according to a report

by College Board.. However, this hasn’t gone toward increasing the

wages of adjuncts: The average $33,000 salary for full-time adjuncts has remained the same over this five-year period, without any cost-of-living adjustments.

According to Lisa O’Neill, a fulltime, non-tenured adjunct working in the UA English department, the workload for a full-time adjunct in the English department is four full courses a semester, garnering instructors $4,200 for each class.

“We’re pushing for that to be brought up to $7,800,” O’Neill said.

She, along with several other students and adjunct faculty throughout campus, are calling for a “living wage” to meet an increasing workload and standard of living.

“I’d say I make poverty wages,” said John Washington, who teaches upper-tier classes at the UA to English and creative writing students. “The courses I teach are at the highest level for many

students’ majors, and it requires a lot of time and focus for each individual student.”

Along with increased pay, Washington is calling for reduced class sizes and overall better teaching conditions.

“I don’t have an office,” he said, echoing a widespread sentiment that the quality of teaching is at risk because of dwindling pay and priorities for UA instructors.

The problems of stagnating wages go beyond a struggle to pay for living expenses. The outside jobs that both part-time and full-time adjuncts rely on take away from their time to focus on teaching.

“People working as adjuncts end up having to work nights at [businesses such as] Target,” said Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, “which keeps them from

The booths and tables at the Ninth Annual Peace Corps Fair were crowded with students curious about the Peace Corps experience and eager to meet returned Peace Corps volunteers on Friday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

“A lot of students just don’t know anything about the Peace Corps, so they come to me wanting to know what it’s all about,” said Anna SteevesReece, a UA Peace Corps recruiter answering students’ questions at one booth. “Others know for sure they want to apply. So, sometimes, I’ll look over their resume and give them advice on how to reformat it so it better suits the Peace Corps application or whatever experience they need.”

Steeves-Reece holds office hours five hours a week and is flexible to meet with students at their convenience.

Kowalski tabled at the Peace Corps fair and answered students’ questions about his service abroad. He worked in public health schools in Ecuador as an education volunteer from 2012-2014, teaching English and training teachers.

“The fair is a great way for us to be able to share our experiences and talk about what the Peace Corps experience is like,” Kowalski said, “so that students who might be graduating in the next couple of years can think about if it is something they might want to do in the future.”

Ramses Camacho, a pre-public health sophomore, said being away from his family for so long is a hesitation he has about becoming a Peace Corps volunteer after walking around at the Peace Corps Fair.

In order to help fight off hunger throughout Arizona, UA4Food will host its annual UA Faculty & Staff Drive, which kicks off today and ends April 1. Fifteen percent of people living in Arizona struggle with hunger, according to the UA4Food website.

UA4Food hopes to beat last year’s earnings of 22,827 pounds of food and $23,623.32 in donations.

Drop-off locations for food and monetary donations can be found throughout the UA campus. The drop-off locations will be available on the UA4Food website later this week. UA4Food food drives have collected more than 171,827 pounds of food in the past from various events, with the highest amount accumulated from a single event being 35,984 pounds of food during the 2008-2009 school year.

For this event, UA4Food will partner with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to raise and distribute food and money to those in need. The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is a nonprofit corporation that started in 1976 and is approaching its 40th year of providing food for the hungry throughout Arizona. The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona provides over 63,000 meals every day to those in need.

“I love the fact that the food bank can take a dollar and make four meals out of it,” said Sheila McGinnis, the director of Outreach and Community Partnerships at the UA.

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

UA4FOOD, created in 2004, partners with Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to help feed the hungry. Currently, there is a food drive box on the third floor of the Administration building where students and faculty can donate food, such as canned soup from the local Safeway.

She emphasized that some of the most needed food for this event includes peanut butter, cereal, canned soups, canned meat and canned fruit.

“The food collected by the food bank is given to everyone, from the working poor, to the elderly, to children,” said Lou Medran, the Community Food Bank food drive and gleaning coordinator.

Medran mentioned his own personal experience of losing his job a few years ago and the uncertainty it can bring. He explained how poverty and the inability to purchase food

can happen to anyone at any time.

Medran pointed out how food banks are often given more food during the holidays and how crucial it is to give back year-round.

“Helping out the community is important to me, because sometimes, there is nobody out there for them,” said Zach Prunty, a sophomore studying political science and psychology and a UA community relations assistant.

The UA4Food Faculty & Staff Drive ends on with the “Stuff the Cat Tran” event, where the UA community is able to fill a CatTran bus with canned

“So, I looked around and found this program in Arizona,” she said. “I wrote to the recruitment person at the time at the Eller College of Administration, and he said, ‘Oh look; you’re a returned Peace Corps volunteer. I think we might have a program for you.’”

Marcouiller found a program that could give her in-state tuition, which was important, as she was coming from Minnesota, in addition to an assistantship.

2015 ASUA Candidates

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Elections for 2015-16 positions within the Associated Students of the University of Arizona begin with primary elections on Tuesday, and student campaigns are now underway.

Students are campaigning for positions of president, executive vice president, administrative vice president and senators, totaling about 25 candidates. Primary election voting is accessible through Wednesday at 8 p.m.

There are four students running for president, two for EVP, three for AVP and 16 candidates for senators.

After the primaries, two presidential candidates will remain and head to general elections, as well as two AVP candidates. The two EVP candidates and all of the ASUA Senate candidates will directly advance to generals, which take place on March 10 from 8 a.m. to March 11 at 8 p.m.

ASUA presidential duties include being responsible for the function of ASUA, according to the ASUA Elections webpage. The president also serves as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and designated spokesperson for UA students.

The EVP oversees the senate. The EVP is also responsible for the 500+

clubs on campus and addresses student concerns and opinions within the clubs.

The AVP manages the 11 Programs and Services that ASUA offers on campus. The AVP also serves as the Administrative Chief of Staff and is responsible for releasing a monthly student involvement newsletter.

A total of 10 senators are elected to directly represent the student body and run on their own platforms that they work to carry out if elected. Senators also participate in various committees to ensure they are representing student opinions in every matter.

Students can vote directly online at asua.arizona.edu.

AP History isn’t about patriotism

BY MADDIE PICKENS The Daily Wildcat

A

bout a week and a half ago, an Oklahoma House committee passed a bill that keeps the state from funding the Advanced Placement U.S. History course until the College Board repeals changes to the exam, made effective in fall 2014.

The bill has since generated a (fully justified) national outcry.

After all, let’s forget for just a second the bill requires an equivalent U.S. history curriculum to be written by this fall, on top of new English and math standards that are due for the state by 2016 — both massively impractical deadlines.

Let’s also forget that the new College Board standards didn’t actually change much.

“There is now a ‘bare bones’ or topic tree that teachers are required to address,” said Amy Billings, a local AP U.S. History teacher at BASIS Tucson North High School, “but that is really sparse. … This was intentional, so that teachers would still have a significant amount of freedom to teach events and ideas they found important.”

The real trouble with the bill, then, is the sentiment behind it. Conservatives have denounced the AP U.S. History exam for years, concerned that it’s interfering with students’ belief in American exceptionalism.

For example, the Republican National Convention released a statement last summer claiming the course now “reflects a radically revisionist view of American history that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation’s history while … minimizing positive aspects.”

In particular, the statement claims that not enough attention is given to the Founding Fathers and their ideals, and that it presents a “biased and inaccurate” view of “motivations and actions of … settlers, American involvement in World War II, and the development of and victory in the Cold War.” These sentiments extend to the Oklahoma bill and its major sponsor, Republican Dan Fisher, who was concerned that “the [course framework] emphasizes what is bad about America,” according to Tulsa World.

Well, we can’t have that.

First of all, what everyone in this debate seems to be forgetting is that AP students have presumably had years of history classes, most likely Americacentric ones at that. Most of them have plenty of familiarity with the standards that conservatives would apparently like emphasized more.

The purpose of the AP curriculum is to go deeper than that. Presumably, AP classes are preparing students for collegelevel classes: preparing them to think critically and argue, to analyze bias, and to link details and causes. This was the primary motivation behind the College Board changing the exam curriculum in the first place. “[The new standards] remind the educator that this isn’t just a class about facts and timelines,” Billings pointed out. “It is about interactions, changes in technology, global and domestic affairs, and establishing causal relationships between them.”

It’s also a prime opportunity to introduce students to the subtleties of history. Things aren’t always black and white, as inconvenient as that may be.

Conservatives should take a hint: the “revisionist” version of history isn’t the one that minimizes American exceptionalism.

In fact, the revisionist version is the one that tries to pretend the Founding Fathers were all-knowing gods, the Japanese internment camps of World War II were a minor oversight, and the Trail of Tears was an unfortunate event contemporary — but unrelated to — the fulfillment of Manifest Destiny.

Moreover, U.S. history doesn’t have to revolve around exclusively white men — unlike Fisher’s bill, which presented the types of standards it would prefer by specifying documents it felt were essential to a proper study of history.

Of the 58 documents, only eight authors were not white men. The only three women represented happened to be white. The token contribution from a Native American author was a surrender speech.

If students reach this level of history study, presumably, it would be good to teach them that minority history is just as culturally and socially significant as the decisions of the white, rich slaveowners we know as the Founding Fathers. We should also be teaching them to think critically about their opinions, rather than accept a spoon-fed, watered-down narrative that exists solely to make them feel good about their nationality.

Otherwise, they’re in for a nasty surprise once they get to college and encounter the type of analysis that requires all the facts, not just the convenient ones.

Bibi’s speech is self-serving

BY JACOB WINKELMAN The Daily Wildcat

W

hen the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, addresses a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday, it is unknown just how many members of Congress will agree to attend. Although pro-Israel is the de facto position of every American politician, and Bibi has already spoken multiple times to Congress, this speech is different.

There are many areas of tension surrounding Netanyahu’s visit, but for American politics, Speaker Boehner’s decision to invite Bibi without coordinating with the White House or Department of State is an obvious slight to President Barack Obama. This type of invitation is unprecedented, and Boehner’s actions without Obama’s approval could anger other countries in the Middle East and thus threaten a possible U.S.-Iranian nuclear treaty.

In terms of what this speech could mean for Israeli politics, Netanyahu is currently deadlocked with the oppositional Labor Party for Israel’s upcoming elections.

It is unclear whether this speech

could bolster Netanyahu’s foreign policy credentials or backfire and cause Israelis to lose faith in a prime minister who can’t maintain positive relations with the U.S. So, who has the most to lose here?

To gain? And how much damage could this do to Israeli-American relations?

First, to address the last of those questions, the U.S. is one of the world’s staunchest allies of Israel.

Despite growing anti-Semitism around the world, both political parties unequivocally pledge to support our ally. Even Obama, who has been criticized by conservatives for not supporting Israel enough, has appropriated billions in aid for Israel, voted against Palestinian statehood and funded the Iron Dome defense system. A future Iranian-U.S. deal could potentially challenge the Israeli-U.S. relationship. This speech will not.

Domestically, however, this speech is a dangerous and rash move by Boehner. Never before has a foreign official addressed Congress without an invitation or without notifying the president. The pros and cons of a possible U.S.Iranian nuclear agreement certainly deserve scrutiny and conversation, but using Netanyahu as leverage is not the way to achieve productive cooperation between Congress

and the president. Subtlety is not Boehner’s strong suit, and anyone can recognize the political underpinnings of this decision.

With that said, Netanyahu is no novice to politics and is certainly aware of the American political drama occurring in the midst of his visit. He knows Obama and other Democrats could be criticized or seen as “anti-Israel” for missing this speech, potentially damaging Democratic chances in 2016.

However, to say that this is a purely political or spiteful move for Netanyahu is also unfair. According to Leonard Hammer of the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies, Netanyahu’s priorities with this speech are twofold.

First, throughout his political career, Netanyahu has consistently maintained his steadfast opposition to any American nuclear deal with Iran. As a country that supports and funds terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Iran poses a legitimate threat to Israel’s security. Whether or not an agreement between the U.S. and Iran harms or helps Israel is a subject of debate. But Netanyahu’s speech to Congress could disrupt these talks and accomplish one of his legitimate foreign policy objectives.

Hammer, like most Israeli and American pundits, is unsure

whether this move will help or hurt Netanyahu’s chances of being reelected in Israel. Certainly Bibi feels that this will make him look tough on national security and Iran, but causing a rift between Israel and the U.S. may not pay off. Favorable to Netanyahu, however, is a general lack of trust for Obama on the part of most Israelis. A 2014 poll from the Israeli publication Sov Hashavua found 70 percent of Israelis do not trust Obama’s positions on Israel.

When Israel holds its elections in a few weeks, Netanyahu’s victory or defeat will likely be at least partially attributed to his decision to accept Boehner’s invitation.

Any action involving Israel is going to be highly contentious for the U.S. It is no surprise that Netanyahu accepted this speech, despite Obama’s misgivings. To Netanyahu’s credit, this speech could benefit him in terms of both foreign policy and political goals.

But Boehner has set a dangerous new precedent in which the U.S. can jeopardize foreign alliances over backhanded moves meant to score cheap political points.

Speak against Autism Speaks condition they target.”

Indeed, it has engaged in work advocating the debunked vaccines/autism “link” as recently as 2009 and helped to block an amendment to the congressional “Autism CARES” act that would have helped increase autistic representation in autistic advocacy and increased aid for autistic adults.

It also lends its support to the Judge Rotenberg Center, an organization that routinely abuses its autistic charges with hideous methods that include electric shocks and whose procedures have been defined as torture by the United Nations.

Its “advocacy” is even more laughable, with an emphasis on how “lost” autistic people are to the world and how much of a burden they are on their parents. In fact, it actually produced a video with Alfonso Cuarón with autism portrayed as a Grim Reaper-esque bogeyman who talks about how having an autistic child will destroy your marriage and cripple your social life.

It also produced another short called “Autism Everyday,” which included one of the former board members talking about considering a murder-suicide of her autistic child by driving off a bridge — while said autistic child was in the room with her.

Hell, their alliance with Google to chronicle the genomes of autistic people takes this to fullblown, creepy, “Gattaca”w-level eugenics.

he organization Autism Speaks, selfdescribed as “the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization,” began using the hashtag #AutismSpeaks10 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Since then, the conversations have gone straight to hell, with autistic people loudly mocking it from all corners of Twitter.

Speaking as an autistic person, now seems like a good time to explain why Autism Speaks is an abhorrent organization, which I hope gets struck by all the 10 plagues of Egypt.

You see, disability advocates have a motto: “Nothing About Us Without Us.” That motto is meant to express the idea that the disabled and mentally ill should have some say in their own care. Autism Speaks does not do this. There are no autistic members on their board. There used to be one autistic person in a token role on an external, ancillary board, John Elder Robison, author of the book “Look Me in the Eye.” He resigned — with his letter of resignation containing such statements as, “The absence of people with autism in governing or oversight roles has crippled Autism Speaks in its efforts to connect with the community.” Not a glowing endorsement by any means.

Additionally, he said that “Autism Speaks is the only major medical or mental health nonprofit whose legitimacy is constantly challenged by a large percentage of the people affected by the

dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a possible cure for autism. … It is our firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle.”

In other words, we autistic people are diseased, not different, and, if possible, should be changed. In an ideal world, autistic people would not exist.

Unfortunately, most people and businesses who wish to donate to causes to help autistic people end up supporting Autism Speaks. It’s cultivated partnerships with everyone from Toys”R”Us to Sprouts, and the Autism Awareness ribbons you see on cars are made by Autism Speaks.

But, there are several organizations that actually do help autistic people, such as the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, the Autism National Committee and the Autism Network Internation. If Autism Speaks’ corporate partners are actually interested in advocacy on behalf of autistic people, they should shift their sponsorship toward one of these other organizations.

The organization that speaks the loudest about autistic people should not be one that loathes their very existence, and it’s time we made a pushback that says as much.

Stolen master key

A UA staff member reported tools being stolen from a UA vehicle on Drachman Street and Cherry Avenue on Feb. 12 at 6 a.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer came into contact with the UA employee, who said he parked the white 2001 Dodge Ram pickup truck at about 2:35 p.m. the day before and came back in the morning.

According to the report, the man unlocked the vehicle and got into the driver’s seat when he saw broken glass on the front passenger and rear passenger seats. Tools in the vehicle were stolen through the broken rear passenger window.

The employee said the tools were hand tools, power tools and electric testing tools worth about $400. He also said the UA master key set located in the vehicle’s console was missing.

The man did not know the tools’ brand names or models and agreed to notify the UAPD if he found that out. He told the officer he would notify the associate director of Facilities Management regarding the UA key set.

The vehicle had no other damage to it when the officer searched it. Photos were taken at the scene and placed in Property and Evidence. Victims’ rights were issued to the UA Department of Risk Management Services.

A little too tipsy

A UAPD officer responded to a call on 1557 E. Sixth St. about a sick person on Feb. 14 at 8 p.m.

Tucson Fire Department paramedics showed up on the scene just as the officer came. They made their way toward the third floor and in the restroom of the residence hall. A UA student was found sitting on the floor in front of the toilet.

“I got a little too drunk,” she said.

She vomited on her shirt, and her eyes were watery and bloodshot. When she spoke, her words came out slurred.

The student told paramedics that she was at the Next Level apartments on 1020 N. Tyndall Ave. at “some sort of party” where she drank Four Loko and “some other kind of drink” given to her by a man.

She was unsure about all the events that took place but remembered her roommate found her outside puking and got her back to the residence hall. The woman did not want to go to the hospital, so the paramedics took her to her room down the hall.

Her roommate said she would keep a close eye on her.

The officer explained that she would be diverted for minor in possession of spirituous liquor, and if she didn’t complete the diversion process, she would be under arrest. A Dean of Students referral was completed and sent to the Dean of Students Office.

high nine strikeouts in her final performance. Her Wildcat starting counterpart Trish Parks pitched 13 and 1/3 innings, giving up just three earned runs and throwing 10 strikeouts during the tournament.

“I just went out there and pitched,” Floyd said. “I just go out there and try to give it my best every chance I can. It doesn’t matter who we’re playing. Just go out there and do my best.”

In Arizona’s first two games of the tournament, the Wildcats defeated Colorado State 6-3 and UTEP 9-1 under mercy-rule on Friday night.

Goodacre went 2-4 in the game against CSU and hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Arizona left fielder Chelsea Suitos was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate against UTEP while leading the Wildcats with two RBIs and three runs scored.

Arizona added another two runs

It was cats versus dogs in Starkville, Miss., over the weekend for Arizona baseball. The Wildcats faced the No. 15 Mississippi State Bulldogs and Samford University Bulldogs in a four-game road trip and ended the weekend 2-2.

The Wildcats (10-4) swept Samford (3-7) after rallying back from a first-inning, three-run deficit to win 12-5 on Sunday but came up short both games against Mississippi State (11-0).

Second baseman Scott Kingery paved the way offensively for the Wildcats, going a perfect 5-5 at the plate on Sunday, which contributed to Arizona’s 17 hits.

He is 30-61 with a .492 batting average so far this season.

Arizona was trailing 4-1 after the first inning but opened the second with a solo home run by designated hitter Tyler Krause, his first of the year. Later in the inning, catcher Riley Moore hit a bases loaded pop fly to shortstop, but Samford’s Frankie Navarrete dropped the ball, yielding an error and two unearned runs for the Wildcats to tie the game.

Navarrete’s error was one of three for the Bulldogs, all which resulted in unearned runs for Arizona. Kingery scored off a throwing error in the first inning, and Bobby Dalbec reached home on a fielding error in the sixth.

Arizona also committed three errors, and one resulted in a run for the Bulldogs.

Zach Gibbons ignited Arizona’s momentum in the fourth inning, hitting another solo home run to grab a 5-4 lead. The Wildcats have hit eight home runs in their 14 games this season, tying the total number of homers they hit in 2014.

The Bulldogs recorded 16 hits but left 14 on base, including ending two innings with the bases loaded.

All of Samford’s runs came off of starting left-handed pitcher Xavier

The Daily Wildcat

After finishing the Mary Nutter Classic in a disappointing fashion, No. 15 Arizona softball bounced back to go 6-0 in the Wildcat Classic at Hillenbrand Stadium over the weekend and improved to 17-3 on the season. But the main story of the Wildcat Classic was Arizona coach Mike Candrea securing win No. 1,400 against UTEP. “It means I’ve been in the game a long time,” Candrea said. “Had some good players, good coaches, and it’s definitely in today’s world; the longevity factor is not always there. I’m just blessed that I have been able to be at Arizona for over 30 years and been able to coach some good players and some good teams.”

His players could not agree more and celebrated with the second winningest NCAA softball coach of all time after their victory.

Wildcats split final home stand

“It’s kind of a big honor,” Arizona catcher Chelsea Goodacre said.

“Coach is a big guy in the softball world so to be apart of this program and just one of his players is a great honor.”

The rest of the tournament provided the Wildcats with the confidence boost they needed after their poor hitting performance in Palm Springs, Calif. The Wildcats were able to win by mercy-rule in four of their six games.

“We finally started turning things around at the end, but we still aren’t quite where we need to be,” Candrea said after Friday’s two victories.

“Each week is kind of like a test for us. We got through it today; we have to get through it tomorrow.”

The highlight for Arizona on the mound throughout the tournament was pitcher Michelle Floyd.

She pitched 16 and 2/3 innings throughout the weekend, recording 20 strikeouts and giving up just one earned run. She threw a career-

Candice Warthen’s last game in McKale Center was preluded with flowers and a framed jersey in commemoration of Senior Day. Warthen gifted the Wildcats her own personalized goodbye package in the form of 23 points to lead Arizona to a 64-41 victory over Utah on Sunday.

“I’m proud of Candice and the way she’s responded,” Arizona coach Niya Butts said. “She’s had a rough patch shooting the ball, but today she was right on.”

Warthen connected on 10-13 attempts in what was one of the Wildcats’ best all-around shooting performances of the season.

The UA shot 52 percent from the field, including a perfect 7-7 outing from freshman JaLea Bennett.

“They did a really good job of using screens, getting deep into the paint and they finished well,” Butts said. “Anytime you’re finishing, that’s going to give you a little bit more momentum.”

Arizona jumped out to a quick 16-7 start before a scoring drought allowed the Utes to climb back. The Wildcats regained their touch to close out the first half with a 35-29 lead.

It was the UA’s defense that broke the game open in the second half. Arizona held Utah to 12 points the entire half on 13-percent shooting.

“We really wanted this win today,” Warthen said. “We knew that we had to get stops and that they were a team we could defend very well, so it was a conscious effort.”

Arizona split the final home stand after falling to Colorado 66-51 on Friday night.

The Wildcats ended the season 1019 and 3-15 in Pac-12 Conference play.

A

n opportunity opened for a team to grab one of the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament when Gonzaga lost 7370 to BYU on Saturday night. ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi had Gonzaga firmly in line for the No. 1 seed in the West region but changed his mind after the Zags lost.

Lunardi moved up Villanova from the No. 2 seed in the East region to the No. 1 seed in the West region.

Meanwhile, instead of moving up, Arizona stayed as the No. 2 seed in the West after defeating Utah 63-57 on Saturday night.

Arizona has names such as T.J. McConnell, Stanley Johnson, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Villanova is a bit more unknown, with Darrun Hilliard II and Ryan Arcidiacono leading the way.

The two team’s resumes are so similar, Lunardi could easily go either way.

Villanova has neutral court wins over VCU and Michigan, home wins over Syracuse, Georgetown, Butler, Xavier and Providence, and road wins over St. Johns, Butler and Xavier. One of those teams was ranked in the top 15, with six total teams being ranked in the top 25.

Arizona has a neutral court win over San Diego State, home wins over Gonzaga, Michigan, Utah, Oregon and UCLA, and road wins over Oregon, Stanford and Utah.

Four of those teams were ranked in the top 15, with two of those teams ranked in the top 8.

ARIZONA FORWARD Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (23) attempts to dunk during Arizona’s 63-57 win against Utah at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday. The Wildcats are one of many teams now competing for the No. 1 seed in the West after Gonzaga lost to BYU on Saturday.

2 in the nation and Villanova No. 4 in the nation. ESPN has Arizona at No. 5 in the nation in BPI and Villanova at No. 6 in the nation.

One big difference between the two teams is that Arizona started the preseason ranked No. 2 in the nation, and Villanova started at No. 12. Essentially, this means people were higher on Arizona at the beginning of the season.

Arizona fans will put the numbers together and say the UA should be the No. 1 seed in the West . In reality, Arizona’s losses are looking better than Villanova’s — but not by much. ASU and Oregon State have climbed into the RPI top 100 at 82 and 97, respectively, and UNLV is ranked 89th in the RPI. Villanova has two losses, both

of which came to teams ranked higher in the RPI than Arizona’s losses. Seton Hall is at 70, while Georgetown is 24th.

So, when Lunardi puts Villanova above Arizona, fans should see the reasoning behind this and come to terms with it, knowing full well how much can change before the regular season is over.

Of course, this is before even considering teams such as Wisconsin, Kansas and Gonzaga, all of which are firmly in the No. 1-seed discussion.

As March kicks off, it’s clear that the madness is on its way.

Arizona gymnast Lexi Mills performs her floor routine during Arizona’s 196.475-196.100 win against California in McKale Center on Saturday. After a fall on floor, Mills and the rest of her floor teammates completed five routines in a row to edge out California at home.

“The beam team did a great job,” Ryden said. “It wasn’t the cleanest I’ve seen, but they really fought hard. They didn’t let little mistakes turn into big mistakes, and they were able to hold onto the lead.”

Arizona finished the meet on floor and earned its highest total team score of the night with 49.350. After starting the event with a fall, Arizona countered with five strong performances in a row to capture the victory.

“At the anchor, I kind of feel like I have to really hold my own,” Flores said to the Pac-12 Networks.

“No matter if there’s a fall or not, I got to do my job, got to get up there and hit and do what I practice.”

Mills earned a career high of 9.925, followed by Sisler, who scored a 9.900. Flores and freshman Kennady Schneider both scored 9.850, and sophomore Selynna Felix-Terrazas added a 9.825.

The Think Pink Meet was especially emotional for Arizona assistant coach Meredith Paulicivic,

Borde, who went 4.1 innings, gave up eight hits and struck out six. Arizona utilized the bullpen, using five pitchers, including freshman Rio Gomez, who gave up two hits in two innings.

Arizona’s two losses to Mississippi State on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning stemmed from tough battles. The Wildcats lead Friday’s game 1-0 until the third inning, when starting pitcher Austin Schnabel hit Ryan Gridley with a pitch to start the inning, and proceeded to walk three more Mississippi State players, giving up two runs in the process. Schnabel was retired after less than three innings and replaced by Nathan Bannister.

who has close family ties with cancer.

“I’m really proud that I didn’t tear up,” Paulicivic said in a press release. “It was a devastating day when we found out my mother had cancer, but, luckily, everything went well, and it’s been 3½ years that she’s been cancer-free. It’s huge to have something that big strike our family and be able to overcome it. Having my mom and family here tonight was great.”

The meet proved that the GymCats are not going to back down against top-25 opponents, especially Pac-12 Conference foes. Up next, the Wildcats will travel to Lansing, Mich., to compete against Michigan State and Eastern Michigan on Friday.

Arizona will head to Denton, Texas, on Sunday to face Texas Women’s University.

Arizona and Mississippi State were tied at two apiece through the fifth on Saturday before the Bulldogs tallied four runs in the sixth with Cody Hamlin on the mound after Robby Medel exited with two runners on base.

Hamlin gave up two hits and two runs in the inning, including one unearned run off a wild pitch that led to the Mississippi State 6-2 win.

The Wildcats made national news for the second consecutive weekend on Saturday when center fielder Justin Behnke made a diving catch that debuted at No. 1 on ESPN Sports Center’s Top 10 plays.

The Wildcats are back at Hi Corbett Field for a twogame series against New Mexico State on Tuesday, with the first pitch at 6 p.m.

Arizona faced UC Riverside and UT Arlington on Saturday, defeating both 10-2 by mercy-rule.

The victories displayed Arizona’s impressive hitting performance.

Suitos once again led the Wildcats offensively against UC Riverside, finishing 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. Third baseman Lauren Young finished 2-for-3, capped off by a solo home run.

The UT Arlington game showcased close family ties between Kellie Fox and UT Arlington coach Kristie Fox, who is her sister. Kristie Fox was also an All-American for the Wildcats and a member of one of Candrea’s National Championship teams.

First baseman Hallie Wilson went 3-for-4, while second baseman Mo Mercado and Goodacre went 2-for3 each. Goodacre added her fifth home run of the season as well.

The Wildcats finished the tournament by defeating Bryant twice on Sunday, 6-5 and 18-1, respectively.

Arizona capitalized on extra base hits in the first game and scoring four runs in the fourth inning.

Wilson went 2-for-3 on the day with a double and two RBIs. Left fielder Mandie Perez hit her first home run of the season in the bottom of the sixth, which winded up being the difference.

Bryant came just one run shy after a grand slam off relief pitcher Nancy Bowling in the seventh inning. Parks came in to shut the door and earn her first career save.

In the second game against the Bulldogs, Kellie Fox hit a double to score two, and Mauga hit a three-run homerun to anchor the seven-run second inning. The game quickly got out of hand after an eight-run fourth inning that led to the mercy-rule win in the fifth.

“It just shows how strong we are on offense,” Mauga said, “and even with two outs, we just pull through for ourselves and just have to work hard.”

Moving forward, the Wildcats will face UNLV at home for a pair of games on Wednesday at Hillenbrand Stadium.

After falling behind in the early minutes, Arizona went on an 8-0 run to claim an 11-9 advantage with 13:27 to go in the first half.

Colorado’s shooters quickly heated up, giving the lead back to the Buffaloes right up until intermission, when the Wildcats tied the score heading into the locker room.

The back-and-forth play continued in the early minutes of the second half, and the score was knotted up at 39 with 13:35 remaining.

Over the next six minutes of action, Colorado’s defense stifled Arizona’s opportunities as the Buffaloes embarked on a 10-2 run to break the game open.

The deficit had grown to 14 points with three minutes to go, a margin far too great for the Wildcats to overcome.

While Arizona’s bench outscored Colorado’s 22-5, the Buffaloes shot 47 percent from the field. Colorado’s Jen Reese led the team with 20 points and added four assists.

Arizona now has a few days to prepare for the Pac-12 Conference Tournament in Seattle, Wash., where they will be matched up against UCLA in the first round.

No. 20 Arizona gymnastics earned a key victory Saturday night by defeating the No. 19 California Golden Bears 196.475-196.100 at their annual Think Pink Meet. The meet supported and honored breast cancer survivors, as the Wildcats uniforms were pink and showcased the breast cancer ribbon.

The GymCats began the meet on the vault, totaling a team score of 48.950. Arizona gymnasts Jessie Sisler, Allie Flores and Shelby Edwards highlighted the event, all scoring a 9.825. Freshman Madison Cindric and sophomore Gabby Laub added scores of 9.750 and 9.725, respectively, for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats then moved to bars, where they were able to pick up their momentum. Leading the Wildcats were Laub and freshman Victoria Ortiz, who both tallied scores of 9.900 with their routines.

It was Laub’s career high and the second meet in a row that Ortiz was able to produce such a number.

“This team has really helped my gymnastics, and everyone on the team is just so encouraging,” Ortiz said to the Pac-12 Networks. “I love Bill’s coaching, and I love just being able to show everyone what I can do and what I’ve been training for.”

Sophomore Krysten Howard finished her floor routine with a 9.875, contributing to their team score of 49.350. Overall, coach Bill Ryden seemed pleased with his team’s performance in the event.

“I’m proud of our bar team,” Ryden said in a press release. “This team competes so well, though. I’m so proud of this team, and they’re such a fun team to coach. They never get intimidated or nervous after mistakes, and I’m just so proud of that.”

The Wildcats gained just enough on the beam to take a .125 lead over the Golden Bears, making the margin very close heading into the last event.

Edwards and junior Lexi Mills both scored a 9.850, which marked a season high for Edwards. Cindric produced a strong routine and earned a 9.825.

Q

Is it weird to be a virgin coming to college?

A. Not at all! In fact, quite a few seniors are still virgins, too. We know this from asking thousands of students in our anonymous, annual Health & Wellness Survey.

Take a look at last year’s data, gathered from 1,941 UA students in Spring 2014: When asked, “Have you ever had vaginal sex?” here’s the breakdown: • Freshman: 64% • Sophomores: 71% • Juniors: 77% • Seniors: 79% “Have you ever had oral sex?” The numbers are very similar to vaginal sex: • Freshman: 68% • Sophomores: 76% • Juniors: 81% • Seniors: 83%

“Have you ever had anal sex?”

The numbers are much lower: • Freshman: 16% • Sophomores: 15% • Juniors: 28% • Seniors: 30% While the majority of students report having had oral or vaginal sex at least once, we know that not everyone at the UA is having sex. There are a lot of reasons that people cite for not having sex: religious or cultural beliefs, fear of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy, and waiting for the right person. Some people choose other, lower risk ways to enjoy sexual pleasure, such as making out, dry-humping, mutual masturbation, “hand jobs,” and so on.

For all the virgins out there, you are not alone. And you probably won’t regret waiting until you are ready or the right person comes along.

Live long and prosper

Leonard Nimoy, the actor most renowned as Spock from the “Star Trek” series, died on Friday at the age of 83. The beloved actor was famous for his role on the Starship Enterprise and for coining the signature Vulcan salute used as a greeting symbol for Trekkies everywhere. He played Spock in the original series and reprised his role in the J.J. Abramsdirected reboot.

The actor has been mourned by fans and friends alike, including President Barack Obama who, in a memo, said, “I loved Spock.” Nimoy’s last tweet was an unknowing but fitting goodbye: “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP.”

#TheDress

The Internet is a breeding ground for controversies both big and small, and nothing proved this more so than the viral photo of a striped dress that was debated being either black and blue or white and gold.

Pop culture sites were overwrought with articles, quizzes and memes about the dress, and figures from Taylor Swift to Kim Kardashian West to Sen. Christopher Murphy of Connecticut all weighed in on their different perceptions.

The photo was originally posted by musician Caitlin McNeill and has proven to be the biggest Internet sensation since the viral video posted hours earlier of llamas running loose in Sun City, Ariz.

Mother Monster joins “American Horror Story”

With the reveal that the fifth season of the horror hit “American Horror Story” will bare the subtitle and theme of “Hotel,” it was also unveiled that Lady Gaga would be starring in the upcoming season.

While the “Hotel” theme gives some clues to the next season’s show, the addition of Lady Gaga looks promising for viewers and ratings.

The announcement comes after Jessica Lange’s exit from the show and the recordbreaking “Freak Show” premiere in October. The announcement also came after the death of actor Ben Woolf on Feb. 23 after he sustained injuries from a car accident.

The gown was found

Lupita Nyong’o may not have been nominated for any Academy Awards at the 87th Oscars, but the “12 Years A Slave” actress definitely won best dressed for the evening.

The custom-made Calvin Klein dress sported 6,000 white pearls and was estimated to be worth $150,000, according to Fortune magazine. On Wednesday, the actress reported that the dress was stolen from her Los Angeles, Calif., hotel room, initiating a manhunt for the celebrated dress.

An anonymous tip to TMZ reported two of the pearls had been brought into a jewelry store and confirmed as fake, but there has yet to be confirmation on the legitimacy of these claims. As of Saturday, LA police reported the dress has been recovered, supposedly having been found in a bathroom of the same hotel the dress had been stolen from.

Lasers more than meets the eye

BY CHELSEA COOK The Daily Wildcat

Ever wonder what it feels like to be James Bond and navigate your way through a web of lasers? Community members gathered at Laser Fun Day to do just that in a demonstration of the College of Optical Sciences’ research regarding laser and light technology on Saturday.

The college put on its fifth annual Laser Fun Day, an event composed of different displays and demos — all run by student volunteers — to show the different optics sections.

“We put on Laser Fun Day to show the community that optics is so much more than lasers and glasses,” said Benjamin Cromey, a senior studying optical sciences and engineering.

“Plus, even if the kids at our event don’t decide to major in optics one day, we hope that the cool science we show them will encourage them to pursue a STEM field.”

The most popular attraction at Laser Fun Day is always the laser maze.

This year, the college was able to completely redesign the maze thanks to a grant from the International Society for Optics and Photonics. Other features of this year’s event included the sophomores’ discussion of optics and its impact on health, the junior class showing how optics can help reduce and make energy, and the seniors showing off different lightbased communication technologies.

The optical sciences program at the UA is uncommon, as most universities around the world do not offer the option for a major, said Dawson Baker, an optical sciences graduate student and president of the Student Optics Chapter.

“This year is special, because the UN has designated 2015 as the International Year of Light,” Baker said. “We’ve gotten special funding through SPIE to emphasize the ways

ELLIOTT KWAN, an optical sciences graduate student, demonstrates how the human eye works and the effects as humans age during the College of Optical Sciences’ Laser Fun Day in the Meinel Optical Sciences building on Saturday. The event brought attention to the different applications of optics.

in which light and lightbased technologies serve society.”

This year’s event theme is based on the UN’s designation, and many of the event’s features were tied to that concept. Event attendance was around 1,000, and the number of attendees increases each year.

“The event is geared mainly toward kids to get them interested and thinking about optics,” said Xander Deputy, a junior studying optical sciences and engineering, “but I have seen high school kids, interested adults with small infants, and enthused adults who think optics topics are cool and want to check out the demos.”

The event changes and grows each year, which seems to help bring in more interested guests. All of the demos become more in-depth as the years go on, because the students delve further into optics.

“The past few years, I have volunteered to present demos to the people that attend Laser Fun Day,” Deputy said. “The first year,

I talked about a Fresnel lens, and the second year, I was on a demo explaining how lasers were involved in everyday objects we use.”

With the events varying from the laser maze to indepth demonstrations, there was something for people of all ages.

Additionally, the Laser Fun Day events served as demonstrations of optics sciences’ practical opportunities available for those who choose to enter the field.

“I chose to study optics because it provides a window in the unknown,” Baker said. “Optics has consistently provided humanity with the tools it needs to discover new and interesting things. Beyond correcting bad eyesight, it has shown us the existence of bacteria, the structure of matter and the vastness of outer space. It has been a major enabler of modern technology, and all signs at present indicate that it will continue to be.”

Wildcats spin at DJ competition

BY VICTORIA PEREIRA The Daily Wildcat

A handful of the UA’s best disc jockeys and electronic dance music producers competed Thursday at the Rialto Theatre in the Campus DJ competition.

Campus DJ is an annual musical competition designed specifically for students whose laptops and sound mixers serve as their main instruments. The competition travels around the country and makes stops in places such as Washington, Texas and New York along its search for the most talented student DJs out there.

The tour is further broken up into different regional segments; after the university winners are chosen from their regions, they duke it out against each other to find out who the best DJ really is.

In order to compete, each interested DJ had to post a sample of their work to the competition’s website, along with a small profile about themselves. Site visitors were then able to listen to their samples and vote for the DJs that they wanted to see advance to the live competition, and the top four DJs were given spots in the competition.

The UA’s portion featured DJs Anthony Natoli, James Christian, Izzoh and Le Phan. Each was given 10 minutes to perform and showcase their talent, which was a bit of a challenge for some of the contestants.

For Le Phan, otherwise known by his real name Stephan Salas, a pre-computer science sophomore, Campus DJ was his first competition.

He said that having such a short time to present his skill set and show the judges everything he could do felt limiting.

“Normally, a DJ plays for an hour, two hours, and that’s your typical set,” Salas said. “So, 10 minutes is very little time.”

Izzoh, whose real name is Rifat Assour, also found the time limit restricting. A general studies senior, Assour has been practicing and

tinkering with DJ-ing for almost his entire four years of college, and Campus DJ is just one of several DJ competitions that he has been in.

In a previous competition in which Assour opened for the popular EDM artist and DJ Arty, he was given an hour and 15 minutes to perform, which he said he believed gave him a better chance at exhibiting his talents.

After each DJ’s 10-minute set, they were judged in four different categories. The first three were the traditional parameters of originality, technicality and stage presence, but the fourth was based on the audience’s reaction to the DJ through social media.

Campus DJ partnered with several large sponsors, one of which was Tinder, the popular matchmaking app. For this last category, Campus DJ had each DJ create a Tinder page before the competition began. While they were performing their set, fans

could go on Tinder, find the artist and like them. Each of these likes would translate into one point going toward the final judging category.

Campus DJ often has famous guest judges from the world of EDM and DJ-ing, and Arty was the UA’s.

Originally from Russia, Arty began producing his own music at 19. Since then, he continues to make music, create remixes of songs from various genres and performs live around the world. He also has had his own radio show and podcast.

After the judging and set performances were complete, Salas was announced as the winner of UA Campus DJ. “This is a memory I’ll keep for the rest of my life,” Salas said. “There were over 1,000 students at the Rialto that night, and everyone was going crazy. It was quite an experience.”

As the winner of the local competition, Salas moved on to the regional stage that took place at

Arizona State University on Friday.

He didn’t win the competition but said the ASU venue was much less inviting than the Rialto Theatre and had a smaller crowd.

Although it’s been a short time since the competition, the contestants are already receiving a large amount of publicity from the event. DJs such as Salas and Assour often produce their own music as well, so finding people interested in helping distribute that music is important.

“I just want more and more people listening to my music,” Assour said.

Assour also had advice for students interested in DJ-ing and producing.

“You’ve just got to keep trying,” Assour said. “It’s not a fast process, and it definitely takes a lot of hard work.”
