Grad Slam begins at UA Graduate students compete for $3,000 dollars by presenting research in three minutes

BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat

The UA Grad Slam, an opportunity for graduate students to present their research in three minutes or less for the chance to win $3,000, began preliminary rounds on Monday in the Student Union Memorial Center Kiva Room.

Grad Slam will happen in stages over the course of three weeks from March 23 to April 6, said David Bradshaw, program coordinator for Graduate College Administration.

“Participants in Grad Slam will be rated by a panel of three judges, each coming from different backgrounds,” Bradshaw said.

Bradshaw said that the judges will award points based on three

general areas: presentation, significance and audience. He said these categories are consistent with other Grad Slam events across the country.

“The top two presenters from each of the 10 preliminary rounds will move to the semifinals, taking place on March 31 and April 1, and the top three presenters from each round of the semifinals will

Test anxiety affects the lives of UA students both in their exam scores and self-esteem. Today, a test anxiety workshop is being held in order to help students combat the disorder.

According to the UA Campus Health Service website, one-third of all college students experience test anxiety. This is a type of stress defined as a physical symptom creating nervousness, selfdefeating thoughts and worry during evaluative situations.

Leslie Ralph, a psychologist for Counseling and Psych Services, provides test anxiety workshops each semester around campus for different colleges that request them. This semester, she is providing them for the Transfer Student Center, Honors College and the College of Medicine.

Test anxiety differs from other types of stress that students face, because it revolves around exams and feeling like students are going to be evaluated.

“It is similar to stress because it affects the way students go about their day and their thinking and feeling,” Ralph said. “Many students think exams are the end of the world if they don’t get a great score. It’s very common to see people expecting the worst possible scenario.”

This mainly occurs with “really good students or students who really care a lot about school” according to Ralph. In diagnosing test anxiety as a disorder, she pays attention to whether students are distressed and if the anxiety is interfering with their functioning.

Elle Deagle, a finance sophomore, said she believes she has test anxiety depending on how well she is prepared for the test. She said she usually studies in a quiet room while listening to music with her headphones.

“I just try to take it day-by-day and break it down,” Deagle said.

“There is no point in stressing out over it, because it is going

Shootings focus of Legislature

BY ETHAN MCSWEENEY

Arizona Sonora News Service

PHOENIX — The Legislature is on track to finish its business early this year with this week being the final one for most committee meetings. The goal for legislators is to wrap up the session in the next couple of weeks, but the House and Senate still saw new legislation introduced.

Late changes

Keeping with a promise from his State of the State address in January, Gov. Doug Ducey may be getting an independent inspector general who would report on waste and corruption

in state agencies. The Senate Government Committee heard House Bill 2420, which now creates the Inspector General position “to serve at the pleasure of the Governor and report directly to the Governor,” according to the bill summary.

The deadline for introducing new bills passed weeks ago, but, of course, there’s a way around that. New legislation can sneak in through strikeeverything amendments — also called strikers — to bills already in the pipeline and allows it to circumvent normal hearings and reviews in both houses.

Sen. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, argued the creation of the

Amy Veals, a prenursing sophomore, said she feels that she has test anxiety before an exam.

She said she likes to study with a group or partner,

but if she studies by herself, she plays music.

“The best way to manage anxiety is to leave myself plenty of time to study and time to take breaks in-between to relax or study a different subject,” Veals said.

inspector general position is necessary. He said government is rife with “fraud, waste and abuse.”

Democrats on the committee criticized the move for not allowing the bill enough time to be properly vetted. The bill passed down on party lines and moves on to the full Senate.

The committee approved another piece of legislation introduced late this way. H.B. 2480 got a striker that would dismantle the Department of Weights and Measures and move its duties to different agencies.

Its newly appointed director is former Speaker of the House Andy Tobin, who favors the proposal — which would leave him out of a job, again.

There could be an opening as inspector general.

Police officers

On Wednesday, the House voted to protect the identity of any would-be-Wyatt Earp after a shootout. Senate Bill 1445, sponsored by Smith, would prevent police from releasing the name of a law enforcement officer involved in a deadly force incident under public records law for a “cooling off ” period after the incident.

The House amended the period of post-shootout immunity to be 60 days, down from Smith’s original 90 days, so the bill moves back to Senate for approval as amended.

The bill is meant to protect police officers and their families from any potential reprisals, said Rep. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City.

Rep. Reginald Bolding, D-Phoenix, said withholding the names raises transparency and

nervous, and it affects their performance.

Students subsequently feel worse about themselves and feel more anxious about the next exam.

“It affects each subsequent exam,” Ralph said, “and, each time, you feel more and more [anxious] and less capable of managing it.”

The test anxiety workshop at the Transfer Student Center will take

accountability issues with the police and public trust in law enforcement.

This legislation comes of the heels of national scrutiny on law enforcement following police shootings of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Mo., and Staten Island, N.Y. Phoenix joined the fray with its own shooting of an unarmed black man by a white police officer in December.

The House passed the bill 4413 with 11 Democrats joining Republicans in support.

Gun bills held

Following Wednesday’s shooting spree in Mesa, which left one person dead, Republican legislators pulled a few gun bills from the agenda for that afternoon. Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, held two bills in the Senate Government Committee, one of which would allow guns in public buildings. Another GOPbacked bill that would prohibit cities and counties from placing restrictions on gun sales was pulled from the Senate floor. The House and Senate also took time on the floor to hold moments of silence for the victims of the shooting.

Judicial ruling

On Monday, the Arizona Supreme Court Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee issued a ruling stating judges could not perform only opposite-sex marriages, regardless of their personal or religious beliefs. A judicial ruling legalized same-sex marriage in the state in October.

“Because performing a marriage is a discretionary function, a judge may, consistent with the Code, decline to perform any marriages whatsoever,” the ruling read. “But because performing a marriage is a judicial duty … a judge cannot

called the three-minute thesis this summer while she was researching for her dissertation. She said that she suggested the idea of bringing something like this to the UA to her friend who works for the Graduate and Professional Student Council.

Bradshaw said the Grad Slam is a collaboration between the Graduate College and the GPSC. He also added that the event is supported by the UA Office for Research and Discovery and the university libraries.

“Fun events that showcase the work of graduate students, events like Grad Slam, serve as an important professional development opportunity for students to enhance their public speaking skills,” Bradshaw said.

Kimberly Espy, senior vice president for research at the UA, said the goal of the Office for Research and Discovery is to enable, support and enhance

research capacity on the campus.

“This competition [is] really a fun way for students to communicate the excitement of their ideas,” Espy said. “We’re really pleased to connect with the graduate school to enable this kind of incentive for graduate students to present their work in this format, and hopefully receive some funds to enable them to even more outstanding work.”

Evan Giomi, a graduate student and Grad Slam participant, said he heard about the event through an email he received from the Graduate College encouraging students to participate.

“I thought they were really neat, and it was kind of a cool concept,” Giomi said. “I will be defending my thesis during my oral defense in a few weeks, so I figured this would sort of be good practice. If I can condense it down to three minutes, I can do it on the big scale pretty easily.”

This comes just a little more than a year after the Arizona Legislature passed the controversial S.B. 1062, a “religious freedom” bill that critics called discriminatory against the lesbigan, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community. It’s unclear now how, or if, the Legislature will react to this ruling, and it’s likely too late for a striker to sneak in this session, at least.

Powdered Prohibition averted

A House panel killed S.B. 1062 this year, which is a far cry from the subject of last year’s bill of the same number. This bill would have prohibited the sale, consumption, purchase or manufacturing of powdered alcohol in the state.

The House Government and Higher Education Committee heard the legislation on Thursday, which was also introduced as a striker from Rep. Bob Thorpe, R-Flagstaff.

Powdered alcohol, marketed as Palcohol, is exactly what it sounds like: a powdered form of alcohol that comes in a package that can be poured into liquid — or sprinkled onto anything, really. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau last week approved Palcohol for use.

The committee shot down the bill by a wide margin.

The wet — or powdered — legislators overwhelmed their dry colleagues 7-2 in dousing the bill.

Powdered prohibition is currently in effect in five states: Alaska, Louisiana, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia, according to the bill summary.

Clinton learns from her mistakes TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

This time is going to be different.

So say members of the skeleton team already working for Hillary Clinton, future staffers preparing to make the move from Washington, D.C., to the expected campaign headquarters in New York, and some veterans of the 2008 campaign. It’s a reflection of what Clinton and her husband want as well as they prepare to launch her candidacy next month: a clear statement that they have learned from missteps and aren’t dwelling on what might have been.

Clinton’s strategy is still being formulated and her total message has yet to be unveiled, but her early staffing choices are seen as a signal that she is aware of the infighting and drama that plagued her 2008 campaign and is trying to change that.

“If she gets in the race, of course this time will be different. And her team will reflect that,” said Nick Merrill, who is currently Clinton’s only on-the-record spokesman.

The expected campaign manager, Robby Mook, values organizing as much as he does data, strategy and messaging. He and campaign chairman John Podesta will be tasked with juggling competing interests and personalities within the campaign and outside of it, from the Clintons on down. Communications head Jennifer Palmieri, who left the Obama administration last week, is seen by reporters and operatives alike as someone who can disagree with those who cover the campaign but will do so respectfully and professionally.

During her last campaign, Clinton’s team was rife with backstabbing, credit-claiming and finger-pointing. Decisions were often put off indefinitely and then made under duress. Her communications staff could be abusive and uncooperative with reporters. For much of the campaign, she was cloistered from voters, reluctant to even hint at the historic nature of her candidacy. And Bill Clinton, at times one of his wife’s greatest assets, was also often huge liability, letting his anger toward Barack Obama show

tribune news service

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addresses the press after attending the annual Women’s Empowerment Principles event at UN headquarters in New York on March 10. The potential 2016 U.S. presidential contender defended her use of a personal email account for official communications, saying it was “for convenience.”

throughout the early months of 2008.

Clinton is expected to announce her next steps in early April. She is in a stage where she doesn’t have to report spending on staff or travel, though she will need to do so retroactively once her campaign launches.

One strategist said that the primary reason people are attracted to working for the Clinton campaign is Clinton herself, but that the team she’s building is also a big draw.

Some joining the team, like pollster and strategist Joel Benenson and media adviser Jim Margolis, have deep roots in the two Obama presidential campaigns. Others, like Mandy Grunwald, have more than two decades of history with the Clintons. But plenty of other staffers have a mix of experiences.

Marlon Marshall worked in the Obama White House and was deputy national field director in 2012. In 2008, he was Clinton’s state

field director in Nevada, Ohio and Indiana.

Mook has a loyal following and was described by two people who have worked with him as the only candidate for the campaign manager job who would have joined the team even if he hadn’t been given that role.

Kristina Schake, Michelle Obama’s former communications director, will be a deputy to Palmieri, while Attorney General Eric Holder’s top press aide, Brian Fallon, will leave his job at the end of the month to join as a press secretary. Other early hires for press jobs include the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Jesse Ferguson, the Democratic National Committee’s Ian Sams and Jesse Lehrich of American Bridge, which has been conducting opposition research on the potential Republican candidates.

Merrill will continue to serve as a spokesman.

“You need an infrastructure and operation in place and one guy can’t do it all,” said Jim Manley, the former top communications adviser to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, referring to Merrill. “They seem to be building that, but we’ll have to wait to see how it runs.”

Lehrich’s hiring is a sign of how much the Clinton/Obama dynamic has changed since 2008. His uncle is David Axelrod, Obama’s political messaging guru.

Just as important to defining the team as who’s on it is who isn’t.

Clinton’s longtime communications adviser, Philippe Reines — who spent the 2008 cycle as her Senate press secretary — will not be on the campaign staff and has told people close to Clinton that he has made a deliberate decision to back away from day-to-day involvement.

Known for his often-aggressive style, his less-central role is viewed as another signal of the Clinton

campaign’s media relations.

What’s not clear is exactly what role those new mid-level staffers will fill.

One future staffer who didn’t want to speak on the record before the campaign launches and his hiring is announced said he felt comfortable leaving his current job because of his trust in the senior members of the team. Mook in particular is cited as someone who is unlikely to allow intramural disagreements between former Obama and Clinton staffers to disrupt the campaign.

The Democratic strategist said that the current team’s organizational chart is a huge change from 2008, when seemingly everyone on the campaign was a senior adviser.

“It’s a different season, it’s a different set of challenges,” Brazile said. “So of course you’re driving with a different set of tires.”

New trials given for subject of ‘Serial’ podcast TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

BALTIMORE — Adnan Syed, the imprisoned subject of the “Serial” podcast series, said his trial lawyer’s failure to interview an alibi witness was worse than many other cases in which new trials were granted.

The brief is the first step for Syed in his effort to overturn his life sentence since the Court of Special Appeals last month granted his request to reopen his appeal after two unsuccessful attempts in the last dozen years.

Syed’s main argument was that his attorney in 2000, M. Christina Gutierrez, was ineffective because she failed to investigate an alibi witness that could have cleared him. Syed also argues that Gutierrez didn’t look into a plea deal, which he said he could have considered knowing that his lawyer was ignoring his strongest defense — the alibi.

The court filing alleges that Gutierrez’s “complete failure to investigate was not an innocent mistake; it was a complete failure to follow her client’s wishes, a decision to lie and a decision that any reasonable attorney would know could very well cost the defendant his case — precisely what happened.”

Gutierrez died 12 years ago amid health and legal problems.

No case in recent memory has generated as much public debate as Syed’s because of the worldwide popularity of “Serial,” a podcast that was downloaded more than 40 million times. In 12 episodes, “This American Life” radio producer Sarah Koenig parsed over hundreds of pages of court documents, hours of police interrogations and court testimony and conducted fresh interviews to re-examine the 1999 fatal strangling of Syed’s ex-girlfriend and Woodlawn High School classmate Hae Min Lee, 18.

Prosecutors alleged that Syed, then 17, killed her because he was jealous and ashamed that she was dating someone else.

Syed, who had no prior criminal record, was found guilty of firstdegree murder, robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment, despite a lack of physical evidence on or near Lee’s body that matched him.

No eyewitness saw the killing, and a medical examiner could not determine where or when Lee had been killed.

Key to Syed’s conviction was the testimony of his former classmate Jay Wilds, who said he helped Syed bury Lee’s body in Leakin Park.

Syed’s filing pointed out that Wilds repeatedly gave inconsistent testimony to investigators and even acknowledged lying about details.

Syed argues that another Woodlawn classmate, Asia McClain, has never wavered from her account that she saw him at the public library next to campus after school on Jan. 13, 1999, the same time prosecutors say Syed killed Lee. McClain has maintained her story in two letters she wrote to Syed after his arrest, two sworn affidavits and an interview she did with “Serial.”

Syed’s court filing said “there is a reasonable probability that the jury would have believed that person over Wilds. At the very least, there would have been reasonable doubt.”

McClain first stepped forward with her alibi the day after Syed was arrested. She wrote him a letter in jail that said, “I’m not sure if you remember talking to me in the library on Jan. 13th, but I remember chatting with you.”

She wrote him another letter the next day along the same lines.

Syed told Gutierrez and her law clerk about the letters and, in a later meeting, asked if Gutierrez had contacted McClain.

The attorney told him, “I looked into it and nothing came out of it,” the filing said.

But McClain has said in two affidavits that no one ever called her. In January, McClain offered in a sworn statement that she is willing to testify for Syed if she is called.

Worried about his prospects without an alibi, Syed said in the filing that he asked Gutierrez to get him a plea offer.

Syed said Gutierrez agreed and later told him, “They’re not offering you a plea deal,” he said in his brief.

Prosecutors have said in previous court hearings that Gutierrez never asked for a plea deal.

U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Loretta Lynch testifies during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Jan. 28 in Washington, D.C. Lynch will succeed Eric Holder to be the next U.S. Attorney General if confirmed by the Senate.

Delay for Loretta Lynch’s attorney general confirmation TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — U.S. attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch probably won’t get a Senate confirmation vote until at least midApril, five months after she was nominated, because the chamber plans to spend this week debating its budget proposal.

“Budget all week,” Don Stewart, a spokesman for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, said in an email Monday when asked whether the Senate would vote on Lynch before taking a two-week spring break until April 13. President Barack Obama said Nov. 8 he was nominating her to replace Attorney General Eric Holder.

McConnell, R-Ky., backed off a plan to consider her nomination last week amid a partisan fight over an anti-human-trafficking bill that is stuck in the Senate. Democrats are blocking a vote because they object to Republican language in the bill to ban abortion funding. McConnell said Lynch’s confirmation won’t come up until the human-trafficking dispute is resolved.

Obama and other Democrats have accused McConnell of holding Lynch’s confirmation hostage for political reasons. The delay also has a downside for Republicans because Holder, widely criticized by members

of that party, is still on the job.

“The continued delay is unconscionable,” Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said Monday during a press briefing. “While she waits for her confirmation, Attorney General Eric Holder continues to work very diligently in that office to advance the cause of justice and to use every lever in that office.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Lynch’s nomination Feb. 26 on a 12-8 vote. Three Republicans, Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona, joined all nine of the committee’s Democrats in favor.

Republicans have controlled the Senate 54-46 since January. The backing of Hatch, Graham and Flake plus Susan Collins, R-Maine, means Lynch needs at least one more Republican — or Vice President Joe Biden to break a tie — if all 46 Democrats back her as expected.

Holder, who has said he will stay in the job until Lynch is confirmed, has clashed with Republican lawmakers over issues including a law enforcement operation to crack down on gun smuggling on the U.S.Mexico border, as well as Justice Department challenges to states’ voter-identification laws.

“For those in my caucus who have been upset with some of the

decisions made by Attorney General Holder, as I have been, the sooner he can be replaced by a career prosecutor, the better off our country will be,” said Collins in an interview, who plans to vote to confirm Lynch.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W. Va., said it is “in the best interests” of the country for Holder to leave the attorney general job as soon as possible.

“But I think there are other things at stake here,” she said in an interview in the Capitol last week.

The trafficking bill is “something we should be able to agree on,” and if Holder needs to remain on the job a little longer to advance the legislation, she said she is fine with that.

“I want to see the Senate work,” Capito said.

Lynch, who has served twice as U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, would be the first black woman to serve as the nation’s top law enforcement official.

Some of Lynch’s backers have suggested a racial component to the deferred vote. Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat in the chamber, said in a March 18 floor speech that she “is being asked to sit on the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar.”

Mexican tourism safer than most think

BY JACOB WINKELMAN The Daily Wildcat

S

pring break — a week of relaxation, sleep and, for thousands of Arizonans, Mexico. Just a few hours south of our state is a sandy paradise with looser alcohol laws and freedom from mainstream, college-town police officers.

As someone who took a trip to Puerto Peñasco last week, I feel reasonably qualified to inform a future traveler of the hazards that come with such a dangerous excursion.

Despite what the reader may be thinking, I’m not talking about the cartel or ubiquitous travel alerts that caution Americans about kidnapping drug lords.

And don’t lose sleep over thoughts of gunfights or gang wars. The typical spring breaker should, instead, be prepared to have other grievances.

Regardless of the city — Rocky Point, Cabo San Lucas or Cancun — anyone traveling to Mexico will have to face swaths of worried friends, relatives and colleagues. For some, it’s too risky, others too dirty and most are unable to resist mentioning cartels, drugs, guns or theft.

With the news always cycling through stories of border violence and listeners obsessed with stereotypical Mexican narratives, one can’t help but feel a knot of apprehension as they cross the border. In fact, international news sources disproportionately covered Mexican violence compared to other countries of the Americas, according to a 2014 report

by Kimberly Heinle, Octavio Rodriguez Ferreira and David A. Shirk of the University of San Diego.

It’s no surprise that fear of travel to Mexico seems much higher than many other American nations.

“According to FBI crime statistics, 4.8 Americans per 100,000 were murdered in the US in 2010,” writes Robert Reid, travel editor for Lonely Planet. “The US State Department reports that 120 Americans of the 5.7 million who visited Mexico last year were murdered, which is a rate of 2.1 of 100,000 visitors.”

Although this subject deserves more research, this should still encourage Americans to reconsider some of their preconceived notions.

This is not to make light of crime in Mexico or to refute that certain states of Mexico are dangerous. The Mexican murder rate, according to a United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report, is a concerning 18 per 100,000.

Nor is this a denial of the tragic crimes that have happened and will inevitably happen again to some foreign visitors.

But, maybe the fear most American travelers have of Mexico is rooted more in sensationalist news stories and xenophobic dialogues pertaining to Mexican people than facts.

Although Mexico regained the status of “Travel Warning” from the U.S. Department of State in December 2014, that travel warning calls out particular states and cities, none of which, interestingly, include the most populous spring break destinations. In fact, the Department of State site makes mention of the thousands of American visitors who travel safely to Mexico every day.

Despite the majority of Mexican states having no “Travel Warning” from the Department of State, the UA’s own travel policy and procedures requires extensive extra steps to receive approval for a trip anywhere in Mexico. This means groups must plan much earlier than other, non-travel warning destinations, even ones thousands of miles away, and could be rejected through multiple means. Of course, scrutiny by the school is warranted, but maybe proximal locations that are known for their American tourism can be treated with the appropriate nuance.

In reality, the average American tourist has few reasons to fear travel in Mexico.

The same basic safety procedures we expect from anyone in an American city are the same behaviors travelers should expect to use.

Don’t travel to unfamiliar places late at night, don’t travel alone, and don’t make wealth or valuable possessions painfully obvious to strangers. Be rational, and everyone from your crew can expect to make it home.

Instead of focusing a Mexico Spring Break discussion around the “dangers” of any trip to Mexico, we should instead discuss the more substantial threats of binge drinking, illegal drug use and fighting — all known to be widespread during spring break wherever it’s celebrated.

Getting into your dream school can be a nightmare

BY MADDIE PICKENS The Daily Wildcat

I

n 2014, Columbia University in the City of New York — an Ivy League school — received about 26,000 applications from high school students around the country. In 2015, that number jumped by almost 10,000. It’s no wonder that their acceptance rate dropped significantly, from an already-competitive 9.2 percent to a mere 6.9 percent.

Columbia is not unique in this increase, though its was certainly the most drastic. From 2014 to 2015, every school in the Ivy League experienced a spike in their applications. In a similar fashion, all but one, Princeton University, saw their admissions rates become more competitive.

Students are resorting to drastic measures to be accepted to these top-tier universities. In 2009, Lipman Hearne published a study showing that 26 percent of socalled “high achieving” high

school seniors hired a private college counselor. The industry continues to be lucrative, with at least three professional organizations currently offering affiliation for private counseling. These services could run a family upwards of several thousand dollars, all for the lofty promise of navigating through the waters of the college admissions process.

Meanwhile, families are also paying hundreds of dollars for prep courses for standardized tests, such as the SAT, which can ostensibly raise a student’s chances of being accepted to a “better” university.

They’re also using options like Early Decision admissions, which supposedly raise a student’s odds but also force the student to attend the university if they are accepted.

In the case of the Ivies, again, every school experienced a jump in early applications over the past two years.

The question then becomes: What are the effects these shifts are having on the most invested party — the students themselves?

In short, it’s not good.

College admissions in America are changing. The focus is

moving away from practical factors such as cost and location and instead on an elusive “perfect fit” and “dream school” that will supposedly provide university students with a top-tier education.

In other words, students are putting their self-esteem on the line for a decision that, ultimately, is more about celebratory Facebook posts and neighborhood bragging rights than it is about an actual “perfect fit.”

“I had a hard time my senior year,” said Jennifer Wong, a UA freshman studying physiology and classics. “I felt like where I went to college would define me. I was stressed all the time.”

The stress is starting to show.

Fifty percent of high school students identified as suffering from some kind of mental illness, with depression and anxiety the most common.

Worryingly, suicide is now the third leading cause of death among young people from ages 15 to 24.

While college admissions are obviously not the sole factor influencing this increase in mental health issues, it’s certainly not helping when we put incredible amounts

of pressure on young people, making their self esteem central to a decision that is almost entirely out of their control.

This is no kind of pressure to put on a young person.

Other forms of health are being affected as well. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported sleep deficiency as a public health epidemic, which other studies have shown can also lead to depression and suicide. In their race for a perfect resume, high school students are missing out on sleep during a time when it’s crucial for their development.

As college acceptances begin to trickle in, society needs to think about the pressure it is putting on its seniors. With more and more students believing that a university education is the key to unlocking their future, it’s important to ensure that they don’t burn out before they even get there.

Planet has no vote, but you do

BY TREY ROSS

Y

ou walk into a voting booth, and you have choices. You can vote according to your socioeconomic status, views on marriage equality, or preference on war or marijuana legalization — because you are a person, and these are the qualities, identities and opinions that side you with a political party.

But clouds, trees, water and endangered animals do not get to enter a voting booth. So, why should we vote to decide on whether we should conserve the environment?

Climate change should not be political, and it should not be ignored. This is a bipartisan issue that continues to take the backseat with all political parties, despite the fact that it has begun to negatively affect everyone.

Yes, everyone.

Recently, controversy has sparked in Florida over rumors that Gov. Rick Scott banned the word “climate change” for government employees.

Neither confirmed nor denied by any specific group of people, this struggle

The Daily Wildcat Editorial Policy Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

brings to light the political side of climate change.

The New Republic published an article that explained some more background into the situation.

“Several ex-state employees, as well as contractors, researchers and volunteers, have come forward to say that they were told not to use the terms ‘climate change’ and ‘global warming’ in any official communications, reports and emails,” Tristram Korten writes.

This also confirmed that, since Scott was elected in 2011, references to climate change in Department of Environmental Protection reports and documents severely declined.

So, we should ask ourselves, why does climate change have a political motivation?

Is it because large companies that do not support clean energy back politicians?

Is it due to religious reasons? But most importantly, what is this doing to America’s freedom of speech?

Derek Bambauer, a professor of law at the UA, agreed that this is an interesting issue.

“Normally, of course, government cannot ban speech,” he said. “Content-based restrictions undergo strict scrutiny and almost always lose.” Bambauer also added that it looks like “viewpoint discrimination.”

Just because Scott might not be the No. 1 fan of climate change does not mean that he should attempt to silence the issue

statewide. The climate will keep adapting and changing and affecting our lives, no matter the permitted language.

Bambauer said he thinks this is a deeply problematic topic, also bringing up the fact that most of Florida is within a few feet of sea level, making this issue crucial for the state.

However, Bambauer said he doesn’t think that this would be considered unconstitutional when the First Amendment debate is brought to the table.

“We ought to rethink how much leeway we give the government as an employer to restrict speech,” Bambauer said.

So, as many Floridians and other American citizens search for the truth in this situation and gear up to fight this bizarre ban, just think how this could affect our entire nation if the government was given enough power to become our employers.

As all political parties will continue to fight one another on money, social and climate issues, don’t forget that our environment is the only faction that is unable to speak for itself.

Mother Nature might be unruly, but she sure isn’t as brutal as politicians these days.

Dropping the ball

A Rawls/Eller Lodge desk assistant called the University of Arizona Police Department in regards to an unwanted person in the hall’s walled basketball courtyard on Feb. 27 at 1:38 p.m.

The assistant knew the unwanted UA student was evicted from Residence Life. She said he was a white man with a tattoo on his forearm, and he was wearing a white T-shirt.

The officer called out his name on the basketball court. He said he had been evicted from Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall about three weeks ago for breaking a chair, but he was still allowed in other UA halls. Residence Life had given him several pieces of paper in reference to the eviction, but he never read them. He didn’t have the papers on him, either.

The UAPD officer explained to the student that he needed to read and abide by the terms in the eviction order. An officer said he would be placed under arrest for criminal trespass if he violated the order again. He left the area, and the case information was given to the Dean of Students Office.

Unknown brother

The UAPD was called to the Kappa Alpha fraternity to check on a 19-year-old UA student who appeared to be extremely intoxicated on March 6 at 10:38 p.m.

Upon arrival, an officer saw the Tucson Fire Department and University Emergency Medical Services assessing a man in the rear seat of a car. He spoke with two female UA students, who saw the man standing outside the Hub at Tucson apartments as they were driving away and leaving the Hub. They said the man was only known to them by his first name, because he asked them for a ride to Kappa Alpha where he lived. The women could see he was “drunk” and needed to get off the streets.

When they arrived at the fraternity with the man in the car, he wouldn’t get out due to being severely intoxicated.

The student vomited inside the car and he was not able to stand or walk. The two women called 911 out of concern for him.

TFD concluded that the student needed to be transported to the hospital due to extreme alcohol intoxication. The officer said that the man couldn’t speak in complete sentences, and he was mumbling in the car’s back seat.

He was also unable to hold up his head and needed to be supported by a TFD medic. An overpowering smell of alcohol came from the man’s breath while he was being transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center emergency room by a Southwest ambulance.

The fraternity president went to the hospital to identify the man, because he didn’t have any identification on him.

He told the officer that the man was no longer a member of the fraternity and also may not be a UA student anymore.

A series of tests were done on the individual. The officer needed to verify his status as a student in order for him to be diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor with alcohol in the body.

FOOTBALL

Tight ends to be bigger factors

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football did not complete a pass to a tight end all last season, despite having four tight ends on the roster. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez instead chose to shift wide receiver Austin Hill from out wide to line up tight in a hybrid role.

Hill succeeded for the most part and ended his final collegiate season second on the team in receptions (49) and third in both receiving yards (635) and receiving touchdowns (four). The coaching staff got Hill to bulk up, and he helped fill in from a blocking standpoint, too.

Now, Hill is gone, and there is a gap at tight end from both a blocking and receiving standpoint.

A lack of understanding of the playbook was one of the reasons why Hill lined up as a tight end, and guys like Josh Kern and Trevor Wood didn’t see much time outside of special teams.

“As a player, you’re going to be upset when you’re not in the game,” Kern said. “But you know why they were doing it: We weren’t ready to play, and Austin was ready to play. So, you can’t really complain too much about that.”

There are five tight ends currently on the 2015 roster, with Kern, Wood and redshirt freshman Alexei Oro remaining from the 2014 team.

Newcomers Darrell Cloy Jr. and Matt Morin comprise the rest of the position’s depth.

“I think Josh is ready now to fully play at that position,” Rodriguez said. “Then you’ve got Trevor Wood and Darrell Cloy [Jr.] and Matt Morin. There are at least four guys there that will get a lot of reps. That’s going to be fun to see what we can do with them.”

Of that five, Kern and Wood look to be the most likely candidates to help fill the void at tight end.

Kern, a former quarterback, is listed at 6-foot-5 and 229 pounds and Wood is listed at 6-foot-5 and 251 pounds. Each player accounts for different ends of the tight end spectrum as Kern is the second smallest tight end, weight wise, and Wood is the second biggest.

Both say their work in the offseason to get bigger, faster and stronger mentally has put them in a position to make an impact next season.

“It’s all about the offseason,” Kern said. “Trying to gain weight, get stronger and learn the

MEMBERS OF THE Arizona baseball team huddle up before the start of their 10-5 victory over Utah on March 13 at Hi Corbett Field. Pac12 Conference play starts to heat up this week as the Wildcats take on Oregon.

Conference play gets underway in force

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

1. No. 8 USC (19-5, 2-1 Pac-12 Conference) After opening the season 12-0, the Trojans have gone 7-5. But 19-5 is still a mighty good mark, right?

USC opened conference play with a series win over Washington State.

Last week: L vs. Fresno State 147, LWW at Cal Poly 5-4, 13-0, 9-2 This week: vs. Pepperdine (1114) (single game), at Washington (13-10, 1-5) 2. No. 9 UCLA (17-5, 5-1) The Bruins have won six of their last seven and four in a row since the weekend they lost to USC, TCU and Vanderbilt. UCLA is tied atop the Pac-12 standings.

Last week: WWW vs. Utah 14-2, 3-0, 11-2 This week: at San Diego State (19-5) (single game), at Washington State (12-11, 1-5) 3. No. 11 ASU (15-7, 4-2) The Sun Devils’ record is as almost as ugly as their color combination of maroon and yellow, but they have some big wins. They opened Pac-12 play with a pair of series wins over

Oregon State and a ranked Oregon.

Last week: W vs. New Mexico 4-3, WWL at Oregon 7-6 (10), 2-1, 5-1 This week: vs. Stanford (9-11, 0-3) 4. No. 21 California (18-5, 5-1) The Golden Bears have not lost a series this season and sit atop the Pac-12 standings. They traveled to Seattle last week and picked up three W’s at Washington.

Last week: L at San Francisco 3-1, WWW at Washington 3-2, 3-2, 12-2 This week: at Fresno State (1411) (single game), at Utah (7-15, 2-4) 5. Arizona (19-6, 4-2) The Wildcats opened spring break with a shocking home series loss to lowly Utah, their first defeats to a cold weather team. However, they bounced back to get their first ever road sweep of Stanford.

Last week: WWW at Stanford 6-5, 6-4, 6-0 This week: vs. No. 22 Oregon (158, 2-4) 6. Oregon State (18-5, 4-2) The Beavers rebounded from losing a series to ASU by sweeping

Washington State. However, like football and men’s basketball, the Cougars aren’t the toughest team to beat.

Last week: WWW vs. Washington State 5-2, 3-0, 2-1 (11) This week: vs. San Jose State (716) (two games), vs. Cal Poly (7-13) 7. No. 22 Oregon (15-8, 2-4) The Ducks have lost six of eight.

Sure, four of those were against Cal and ASU, two of the top teams in the Pac-12, but two were to San Francisco — and we’re talking about the Dons, not the Giants.

Last week: LLW vs. ASU 7-6 (10), 2-1, 5-1 This week: at UC Riverside (1013) (two games), at Arizona (19-6, 4-2) 8. Utah (7-15, 2-4) The Utes came back down to Earth after shocking Arizona. They were swept at UCLA to end a threegame winning streak.

Last week: W vs. Utah Valley 9-3, LLL at UCLA 14-2, 3-0, 11-2 This week: vs. BYU (11-12) (single game), vs. No. 21 California (18-5, 5-1)

BASEBALL, 7

Arizona women’s golf teed off at home for the first time of the spring season and finished in second place behind the top team in the country, Southern California, at the Wildcat Invitational. The ninthranked Wildcats shot an 845 (-19), which set a school record over 54 holes.

The previous record was from the 2012 Wildcat Invitational when the Wildcats shot 851 strokes (-13).

Finishing in second place in front of the home crowd at Sewailo Golf Club (Par 72) would also continue a streak of placing a top-five finish as a team of the spring season.

Junior Lindsey Weaver earned a runner-up finish after the struggling second team all-American shot under par for every round of the tournament.

Weaver shot 67 strokes (-5) on the first day and was tied for first place with fellow Wildcat Wanasa Zhou and a pair of USC players.

Weaver would finish the final two rounds five-under-par to finish the home event at 206 strokes (-10). Weaver’s score is tied for second all-time in program history behind former Wildcat and Ladies Professional Golf Association great Lorena Ochoa.

“Lindsey has had a very mediocre spring season, and I say that only because of the potential that she can play at being a second team all-American,” Arizona coach Laura Ianello said. “So, the way she performed at Sewailo was great for her confidence. We’ve had success this spring with our other players. So, having an experienced player like Lindsey perform well is definitely a good attribution moving forward.”

Freshman Krystal Quihuis has had the most impressive season for Arizona after finishing fourth at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate and tying for sixth place at the SunTrust Gator Women’s Golf Invitational, which helped the Wildcats win back-to-back events in Florida.

Quihuis placed another top-10 finish in ninth with a 214 (-2) and carding rounds of 74, 70 and 70.

Zhou finished in eighth place after shooting 212 strokes (-4). Zhou was in the hunt and tied with Southern Cal’s Kyung Kim and Karen Chung for first place.

TRACK & FIELD

Wildcats open outdoor portion strong

BY BRANDON JAMES

The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona track and field team began the outdoor track season in the Willie Williams Classic on its home field at the Roy P. Drachman Stadium, starting off the outdoor track and field season on a high note.

Competing against Grand Canyon University, Central Arizona College, Glendale Community College, Pima Community College, Edsonora, Paradise Valley, Arizona Christian University and Western New Mexico, the Wildcats took home several first-place finishes on both the men’s and women’s sides.

For the women, Gia Trevisan finished first in the 400-meter dash event with a 54.98 time, followed by second- and third-place finishes by her teammates Jasper Gray and Tatum Waggoner. Gray, Waggoner, TraciLynn Hicks and Savaughn Christman teamed up in the 4x100-meter relay race to place first.

Gray, Elizabeth Smith, Katelin Warren and Bealoved Brown won the 4x100 relay. Hanna Peterson clocked a 4:38.61 time to finish first in the 1500-meter run, also with secondplace finishes by teammates Molly Callahan and Kristina Aubert, and Stephanie Bulder placed first in the 5000-meter run with a time of 18:05.73.

“It was a pretty good effort for the first outdoor 5K,” Bulder said.

Bulder said she was able to keep a consistent pace throughout the event and said she believed working together with her teammates in the event for a large portion of

the race, Kate Penney and Daylee Burr, was important in achieving her first-place finish.

On the men’s side, Collins Kibet finished in first in the 1500-meter run clocking a 3:50.89 time, followed by second-, thirdand fourth-place finishes by teammates Samuel Macaluso, Kevin Bierig and Michael Godbout.

Kibet, Blake Eichler, Bryce Houston and Pete Lauderdale teamed up to win the 4x400 relay race.

Thomas Valente placed first in the 5000-meter run with a 15:12.97 time. Pau Tonnesen cleared 4.45 meters in the pole vault to win that event, and Erik Mensendiek threw 61.34 meters in the javelin throw event to place first, followed by a second-place finish by teammate Jonathan Giess.

Mohammad Alhasan clocked a 10.41 time in the 100-meter dash to finish atop that event.

Going into the meet, Alhasan said he was confident to begin the outdoor season. He made technical adjustments and said his sprints were strong going into the 100-meter dash. Alhasan also competed in the 4x100meter relay race, where his team placed third, and said they are working to build their strongest team for that event going forward.

Several Wildcats said they saw this event as a strong starting point to the outdoor season because they can see where they are at and how they can improve. Senior Steven Scarvelis, who missed all of last season due to injury, was satisfied with how he performed after a long absence.

“I picked up right where I left off two years

Arizona cools down over break The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona men’s tennis team hasn’t been hot this spring season, as the Wildcats have endured several heartbreakers to other teams. The team played four matches and went 2-2 while Arizona students had down time for spring break.

The Wildcats traveled to Fresno, Calif., on March 18, to compete against Navy and had a long overdue 5-2 victory. However, the celebration didn’t last long, as the next day, the team played Fresno State and lost, 4-3.

The team traveled to Boise, Idaho, for Saturday and Sunday matches against Boise State and Cal Poly. The Wildcats found themselves competing until the very end against Boise State on Saturday.

Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they fell short 4-3. The energy Arizona came out with to start the matches seemed like there was going to be hope for a bounce back performance, as they won the doubles points on court one and three after falling on court two.

Junior Matt Dunn and his doubles partner junior Jason Jaruvang on court three outdid their opponents Brian Foley and Toby Mitchell. Dunn and Jaruvang had their teammates, No. 118 ranked senior Sumeet Shinde and No. 45 ranked junior Naoki Takeda, to back them up and score the second doubles point to put Arizona in the lead over the Broncos.

The Wildcats’ momentum stayed throughout singles, as Jaruvang took down his opponent Foley in only two sets, 6-3 and 6-1, on court four to allow Arizona a 2-0 lead. Things quickly went down hill from there, as freshmen

David Mushayev was defeated by Mitchell in two sets on court three to allow the Broncos to now be up on the score board.

The Wildcats then allowed the Broncos to tie things up 2-2, as freshmen Shoki Kasahara lost in two sets (6-4 and 6-4) to Boise State, Abe Hewbo. There was still plenty of time for the Wildcats to rally in the victory as three courts were still playing their matches.

Sophomore Will Kneale did just that as he won on court five by defeating Lewis Roskilly 6-4 and 6-3 to put Arizona back up on top 3-2.

Arizona was close to securing the team win, but the two ranked players, Takeda and Shinde, were both defeated by their opponents in a long three sets, with each winning just one set out of the three. Boise State Thomas Tenreiro clinched the point against Shinde to let the Broncos celebrate their victory On Sunday, when the Wildcats played Cal Poly, the team was able to celebrate a 4-3 win. Cal Poly is ranked 65th, further cementing the up and down week.

Cal Poly came out strong as they quickly snagged the doubles point on courts one and two.

However, the Wildcats started up their momentum in the singles as Takeda, Mushayev, Jaruvang and Kasahara all helped their team to victory. Takeda, in the No.1 spot, defeated Ben Donovan in just two sets, as well as Mushayev rapidly grabbing that victory.

Although the Wildcats went 2-2 for their matches played this week, ending on a high note should give plenty momentum to the team in coming matches.

playbook.”

The last Rich Rodriguez tight end to have a solid impact was Terrence Miller in the 2013 season.

Miller hauled in 40 receptions for 467 yards and one touchdown in his senior season and at 6-foot-4 and 233 pounds, was able to help out from a blocking standpoint, too.

Much like Hill, Miller was listed on the roster as a wide receiver but played the majority of his snaps inside and was recruited as a wide receiver out of high school.

Rodriguez said that he expects natural tight ends to have a bigger role in the upcoming season.

“Last year, we didn’t have any [tight ends] that we thought were ready,” Rodriguez said. “This year, we’ve got at least four guys that will rep and even a guy returning like Josh Kern, who’s had a great offseason.”

With eight more spring ball practices to go, Rodriguez and his staff should have plenty of time to get an even better look at who could get regular season reps at tight end for the Wildcats in the upcoming season.

finish after the first day in which Arizona had a three-stroke cushion over the No. 1 USC squad.

“USC is number one in the country, and we showed the rest of the country that we are capable of competing for not only the conference but the NCAA Championship,” Ianello said. “Our conference is very strong, and I am pleased with the pace we are playing at.”

Arizona is rolling right now and is on track to have a season to remember, especially with Weaver posting a score tied with a player as talented as Ochoa. The promising underclassmen in Zhou and Quihuis mixed with veterans such as Manon Gidali and Weaver makes Wildcats eligible to compete in May. Arizona will take a few days off before getting back into the groove and competing at the PING/ASU Invitational in Tempe from April 10-12.

“We’ll take a few days off, but we’ll hit practice hard and get ready for a big tournament in two weeks at ASU, Ianello said, “and we’re going to get back at playing good golf.”

alcohol. No amount of caffeine (coffee, soda, energy drinks) will make the enzymes work faster. Time alone will sober you up.

While your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can rise quickly, BAC goes down at a slow and predictable rate. The average body will metabolize between .015 and .020 BAC per hour (that’s 4-5 hours to zero for someone at .08).

The following charts show the number of hours it takes to reach zero BAC (no alcohol in the blood stream). Each chart factors body weight and number of drinks. Using these charts, you can manage your drinking and plan ahead to be completely sober for your next exam or work shift. Remember: One drink = 12 oz. of beer, 4-5 oz. of wine or 1oz. of liquor.

Solar café by day, Sky Bar by night

BY CHELSEA COOK The Daily Wildcat

S

tudents walking down Fourth Avenue may have noticed an odd-looking restaurant that has solar panels coating its roof and neighboring parking lot. This unique building is known as Sky Bar, which serves as a café by day and an astronomy bar by night. The restaurant has nightly astronomy shows, where they display deep space images taken from their own telescopes.

“If the weather is clear, we put [the telescopes] out on our patio for customers to view the stars and planets,” employee Devon Duhart said.

The restaurant is home to three different telescopes that reside on the top of the building and a stargazers’ patio where patrons can sit outside and look up at the night sky as they enjoy their meal and drinks. All bartenders at Sky Bar are briefed on how to run the telescopes, but there are also three resident astronomers who deal with the more complicated aspects of the machines.

Sky Bar was created with a specific environmental purpose in mind.

Wanting to minimize its carbon footprint as much as possible, it was made to run by solar power.

“Making it revolve around astronomy simply came from the concept of imagining going out with friends and family and being able to see Jupiter or one of the moons of Saturn,” Duhart said. “Sounds pretty unique and amazing, right?”

Sky Bar hosts multiple events each month, with most occurring weekly.

One of the more popular events is the Open Mic Night, held every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to midnight.

“The best local and traveling talent

flock through our doors for their chance on our main stage to show everyone what they are made of,” the Sky Bar website states. “Our host, MC 3D, welcomes our participants and helps them set everything up from solo acoustic acts all the way to full on bands.”

Occasionally, several big bands will begin the night, acting as a sort of

lead-in to Thursday night’s live music lineup. Open Mic Night is free to the public, and all styles of music are welcome.

Other common events at Sky Bar include game nights, pool tournaments, team trivia, family evenings and live bands.

“This unique Tucson café and bar is 100 percent solar-powered and is

outfitted with powerful telescopes, so you can observe the cosmos after dark,” USA Today’s 10Best article states. “Plus, there are even DSLR photography nights where you can bring a camera and snap amazing pictures of the night skies.”

Since Sky Bar is located in close proximity to the UA, and because it becomes a bar at night, it shows UA

basketball and football games, in addition to all other major sporting events, such as the World Series or the Superbowl.

Be it day or night, there’s always something going on at Sky Bar.

NEW SEASON TO-DOS

BY PATRICK O’CONNOR The Daily Wildcat

Architecture is just about the last thing that some want to hear a 30-minute lecture on, and the facts suggest that UA students may agree. Of the 6,494 degrees awarded by the UA in the 2013-2014 academic year, only 46 were from the College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture. A podcast called “99% Invisible,” though, makes architecture and design the source of some of the best storytelling online.

One would think that architecture and design is an overly specific topic that would cloister the producers into mundane topics, but “99% Invisible” has a surprising new topic every week. It has produced stories on everything from a university professor building his own spacesuit to how to ethically design prisons.

A new 10- to 30-minute episode is released weekly and usually features a nonfiction story narrated by one of the show’s four producers.

The show was created by Roman Mars, and his soothing voice can often be heard interjecting throughout their stories. Mars is perhaps one of the few podcast hosts that could be described as charming.

His childlike fascination with design m a k e s stories more engaging and complicated topics feel digestible. “ 9 9 % Invisible” often features architecture or design experts, which is easy for the show because it shares an office with an architecture firm in Oakland, Calif.

One of “99% Invisible’s” recent episodes, titled “Guerilla Public Service,” tells the story of Richard Ankrom, a man so frustrated with the Los Angeles freeway that

REGAN NORTON / THE DAILY WILDCAT

Spring in the desert: fresh air, sunshine

BY MADISON SCAVARDA The Daily Wildcat

99% INVISIBLE PODCAST

he decided to do his own maintenance.

Ankrom kept missing the same freeway exit and realized that there were not adequate signs telling drivers to exit.

As an artist, Ankrom found the handbook of standards from the California Department of Transportation and recreated the necessary traffic sign that looked identical to a standard one.

He even spray painted the face of the sign with a hazy grey paint so it blended in with the old, dirty signs.

A group of friends filmed Ankrom as he installed the sign himself at sunrise on a Sunday morning.

Even with scheduled maintenance happening a few exits a w a y , A n k r o m s a f e l y installed the sign and escaped unnoticed.

The sign stayed up for over eight years, even after the secret had been leaked to the California Department of Transportation and the national media.

“99% Invisible” is one of the few shows you don’t want

‘99% Invisible’ is one of the few shows you don’t want to skip through the ads for

to skip through the ads for.

Mars often has help during his sponsored messages from his two young sons who make the advertisements part of the show.

However, not all of his money comes from advertisements.

Since starting “99% Invisible” in his home office, he has become one of the most successful crowdfunded journalists in the U.S. Mars raised over $500,000 for “99% Invisible” with a Kickstarter campaign and used a second campaign to raise over $600,000 for a network of 11 podcasts called Radiotopia.

“99% Invisible” gets its name from a quote from architect Buckminster Fuller, who said, “99 percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.”

Architecture and design is built upon this same principle.

We tend to only notice bad design; if something is designed well, it blends into the background and becomes invisible. “99% Invisible” is dedicated to sharing the stories behind these designs and giving a spotlight on how it affects our choices and behavior.

You can listen to “99% Invisible” by streaming or downloading its episodes for free from its website.

The dark days of winter are over, and spring is finally here. March 20 marked the beginning of one of Arizona’s finest times of the year with its moderate temperatures and beautiful, natural landscape. The UA campus manifests all the wonder and charm of spring; scattered amongst the old buildings, trees are transforming into colorful pieces of art.

But spring shouldn’t just mean longer days and warmer temperatures. As life revitalizes the nature outside, it can also invigorate students as they finish up the end of their semester.

Spring is a time to reflect on the beauty of the outside world and to be invigorated with new life. Spring calls for new perspectives. It invites everyone to live in the moment and experience more joy and laughter.

Here are some simple ways to usher in the beauty of spring.

Brighten it up

Sometimes, even the simplest acts can make a day feel brighter. For example, painting one’s nails a bright pink or mint green can help develop new confidence for springtime. Another way to gain some inspiration for the new season is to fill up a dorm room or apartment with flowers. Not only can the colors brighten up a space, but the sweet fragrances will leave any area smelling fresh.

Enjoy the outdoors

Spring in Arizona may

be the only time that it is possible to take a hike and not pass out from a heatstroke, so take advantage of the weather. Find a quiet area on campus, and spread out a blanket. There is no better way to take a breather from school stresses than sitting under a blossoming tree and reading a book while a gentle breeze takes all thoughts of homework, projects and finals away with it.

Get out the camping gear, and pitch a tent on Mount Lemmon for a night or two.

Immersing oneself in nature is the only way to truly experience and cherish all that spring has to offer. For those that can’t make the trek up to the mountain, set up a hammock on campus.

Breathing in the fresh air can give you the energy you need to start some homework.

Make memories

Springtime is best experienced with others, so set aside a few moments for friends and family. Pack a picnic, and go for an adventure. Ride bikes on a secluded trail, and enjoy time together — making memories and sharing laughter.

Start planning for the summer

Now is the time to start arranging plans for the long summer away from school. It’s a good idea to start researching summer internships to gain experience in your field.

Spring is also the perfect time to start brainstorming summer vacation ideas with friends and family. Having a

guaranteed room in a hotel overlooking the beach for some much needed rest and relaxation after finals will be much appreciated when the time comes.

Students and spring

Lauren Malm, a freshman studying English, shared some of her traditions and favorite things to do during springtime.

“I cheer on my Wildcats every March — bear down,” Malm said. “I love to enjoy the bright spring sunshine with a good book. Springtime, for me, represents new beginnings, and the beautiful Arizona weather really helps give me a new outlook to make it through the end of the school year.”

Jessica Mardis, a prebusiness freshman, also expressed her feelings toward spring.

“I love the colors of spring and how, out of nowhere, Arizona changes from having deserted mountains and dead grass to having flowers and green hills,” Mardis said.

“It is my favorite time of the year to go outside, as long as I [take] my allergy medicine.

I also have my birthday in spring, so that always makes it a fun time of year. I’ve had my share of Easter egg hunts at birthday parties.”

Spring is not the time to lose momentum. Rather, it is a time to be inspired and invigorated by the beautifully changing world around you.
