All eyes were on Arizona on Tuesday, watching how the state would vote in the primary preference election that was nationally dubbed as one of the more important votes in the primary election cycle.

All eyes were still on the Grand Canyon state Wednesday night, but this time, they were focused on it for another reason.

After a voting day marred by fourhour lines at the polls, confusion on voter eligibility and a myriad of other issues, national headlines shamed the process and spoke of uncounted votes. State officials called for investigations and the resignations of those in charge of organizing Arizona’s primary preference election.

ASUA court disqualifies Cox

BY SAM GROSS

The Daily Wildcat

Associated Students of the University of Arizona candidate Stefano Saltalamacchia stood in front of the ASUA Supreme Court on March 10 and appealed the reversal of a decision to disqualify his opponent, Sen. Trey Cox from the executive vice presidential election.

That evening, the court ruled to reverse the decision of the ASUA Elections Commission—the body responsible for revoking Cox’s disqualification—and reinstate the original decision of Election Commissioner Diego Alvarez to disqualify Cox. The court had five business days to deliver its decision, but ruled in only a matter of hours.

In addition to their decision to uphold the original decision of disqualifying Cox, the court also ruled there would be a special election to decide who will ultimately hold the seat of ASUA executive vice president.

Cox’s disqualification from the race stems from three separate complaints that ended up garnering him five strikes, or infractions of the ASUA Elections Code. Only three strikes are needed for disqualification.

The strikes levied against Cox included infractions like dormstorming, supplying electronic devices to vote and an incident of alleged hate speech against his opponent Saltalamacchia.

While the ruling has been officially delivered, the court has

Cox confirmed he will run again if given the opportunity.

Vagueness of language in the elections code has been a common source of controversy this elections cycle.

In the March 10 Supreme Court oral arguments, discussion on both the side of the challenger, the defense and the justices themselves primarily focused on the vagueness of the language in a handful of sections in the elections code.

These mostly pertained to supplying physical evidence with a complaint and the definition of evidence.

“I think that the Supreme Court justices, to the best of their ability, worked with a flawed document— the elections code—and I think that they have given the students justice,” Saltalamacchia said about the Court’s decision. “Now that [Cox] is officially disqualified from the former election, there is no arguing the fact that what he did was wrong and that justice was served.”

Saltalamacchia has yet to decide if he will run in the special election.

While the argument within the chambers of the court primarily focused on the hearsay type evidence that Saltalamacchia provided in order to disqualify Cox, Cox said he has evidence on his behalf of a similar nature that was never actually taken into account.

Cox said he has collected numerous testimonies from women in the Kappa Alpha Theta house that also witnessed the alleged illegal campaigning

and harassing remarks. These testimonies, he claimed, explicitley state that he was doing nothing wrong while in the Theta house.

ASUA will open up the candidate packet and signature process for the special election sometime in the coming two weeks—allowing hopeful candidates to garner enough signature to become ballot-eligible, according to Alvarez.

Following that two-week period, there would be a one week period of campaigning followed by the final election.

yet to release its opinion on the case. The court’s opinion will give ASUA guidance on how to now move forward with their ruling and the upcoming special election, and according to Alvarez, may also give them guidance on whether or not Cox is eligible to run again in the special election.

It is currently unclear if he will be able to run, according to Alvarez.

Chapter 10 of the elections code—the portion referring to candidate disqualification—never explicitly states if a disqualified candidate is eligible to run again.

It states that a special election will occur in the event of a disqualification.

Cox said he was blind-sided by the courts decision.

“Like many other people in ASUA, I’m just very surprised,” he said, adding that he is curious to see what reasoning the court used to re-instate the strikes against him. “[It] was a huge shock to me because it seemed pretty clear cut in the code that testimony could not be the sole [evidence].”

Cox added that due to court precident, particularly a case four years ago when candidate James Allen was disqualified and then allowed to run again in the special election, he said the odds are strongly in his favor for being able to run.

The decision on whether or not Cox can run may rest squarely on Alvarez’s shoulders, according to Alvarez. He said he is waiting on the opinion of the court to be released before he makes any interpretations of Cox’s eligibility.

in line, confusion surrounding eligibility and other issues are completely unacceptable,” said Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan in a statement. “My office will launch a full-scale statewide review of county election policies and procedures surrounding [Tuesday’s] election.”

Controversy primarily centered on the amount of voting stations actually open and voters who were registered incorrectly in the polling stations databases being turned away.

Maricopa County, which had projected to see a record voter turnout on Tuesday, slashed the amount of polling stations open.

Only 60 polling stations were available to voters in what is Arizona’s most populous county. Pima County, in comparison, with the second-largest population in Arizona, had 130 polling stations open.

To add to the mess that became of election day, the Pima County Recorder’s Office was evacuated Tuesday afternoon after a bomb threat in the adjacent parking garage. The evacuation left hotlines for voter help left unmanned for the hours leading up to the closing of the polls.

Krista Hansen, a public health graduate student, was turned away at the polls on Tuesday. She was told by a volunteer she was registered as a libertarian and therefore ineligible to cast a vote.

Hansen said that she has never been anything but a registered Democrat since she

first registered as a voter.

“I don’t know what could have possibly happened,” she said. “But I’m so sure that I’ve always been a Democrat, and that I was very clear that I wanted to register as a Democrat.”

Hansen wasn’t the only one turned away from that polling station. There were separate lines full of people with the exact same problem, according to her. She even saw her neighbor in the crowd. Like Hansen, he was a life-long registered Democrat who suddenly was registered as a Libertarian.

Hansen said she left the polling station feeling like she had done something wrong,

GENERAL MANAGER 2016-17 ACADEMIC YEAR

Applications are now being accepted for the position of general manager of KAMP Student Radio for 2016-17 school year. This is a challenging paid position for qualified students with broadcast and management experience and a knowledge of student radio operations. Qualified candidates must be UA students (grad or undergrad). Applicants are interviewed and selected by the Arizona Student Media Board.

To apply, pick up an application packet from the Student Media business office, Park Student Union Room 101 (615 N. Park Ave). The deadline to submit completed applications is 5 p.m. Monday, March 28 and interviews will be Friday, April 1 or Friday, April 8. Candidates are strongly encouraged to discuss their interest with Mike Camarillo, broadcast adviser [(520) 621-8002 or camarill@email.arizona.edu], before applying.

that it was her who made the mistake and actually registered incorrectly.

“I know I registered as a Democrat,” Hansen said. “But of course, you feel like they’re telling you the truth, so of course you felt like there was some sort of fault on your part.”

Shayna Stevens, executive director of the Associated Students of Arizona, said this feeling of having done something wrong is an issue that was widely spread among younger and first-time voters.

Among the hundreds of requests for assistance and calls from students at the

polls, Stevens said a large chunk of them were from people who thought they may have messed up the registration process.

This perception—at least for the majority of people calling the ASA on Tuesday—was untrue, according to Stevens. She knows this because in the weeks leading up to the election, the ASA had been assisting students who are registered largely as independents register with a party whose candidate best represented their views prior to the Feb. 22 cut-off date.

“Everyone is feeling like their vote didn’t matter,” Stevens said. “And at this point, it didn’t.”

Stevens said one underlying issue is that a majority of students going to the polls were also first-time voters, so when they were told they were incapable of voting, they didn’t have the prior experience to challenge being turned away.

The ASA will be going to the capitol next Monday to participate in hearings on the hiccups of Tuesday’s primary and to ensure that the student voice in Arizona is taken into account by the legislature. The organization also wants to fight for the provisional ballots submitted that day that are currently in jeopardy of being counted.

“It’s a matter of ensuring that students know their rights when voting,” Stevens said.

“As well as how to defend those rights.”

IT’S A GREAT BIG UNIVERSE OUT THERE.

LEARN MORE ABOUT IT IN TODAY’S SCIENCE Wednesday's SECTION SCIENCE SECTION.

BY Lauren Renteria The Daily Wildcat

Take a look at the programs at the UA and students have plenty to offer after their education at the university. Just last year, graduate student Rachel LaMantia took home the top prize at the 2015 Grad Slam for her plan to create sustainable housing for the Hopi Nation Tribe. That’s only one project that has sprouted from the mind of a UA College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture student.

The UA CAPLA has been working toward making the world a more sustainable place with the implementation of the sustainable built environments track since 2012.

While this specific program works for viable advancements in communities and the design of those communities, CAPLA as a whole is no newcomer to the idea of a greener Earth.

Sustainability has been a strong ambition since the founding of the college in 1964, said Ladd Keith, leader of the sustainable built environments track and director of academic initiatives and student success at CAPLA. “As a college as a whole, [sustainability] is really infused into every aspect [of the] program, whether there’s sustainability in the title or not,” Keith said. “It doesn’t need it in the title because all of our programs involve environment into the classes and just living in an arid region.”

Ideas of sustainable constructions are even visible throughout the design of the actual building that houses the college. Floor-toceiling windows allow for more natural light, saving and reducing the amount of consumed energy, and the vine-enabling lattice structure on the south side of the building provides a place for plants to grow and thrive.

What makes the world within CAPLA so unique is the interdisciplinary tie with a common concentration in constructing viable structures. Recently, the college introduced a college-wide curriculum dedicated to a sustainability-based education. This idea of “sustainable pedagogy,” as dubbed by the college, has been in action for the past two years. CAPLA is the only one of its kind in the country to have this specialized education not just in electives alone, according to CAPLA associate professor of practice Courtney Crosson.

“What’s exciting about the sustainable pedagogy is that you don’t see it in other architecture schools. It’s a holistic implementation,” Crosson said. “Usually what you’ll see at colleges of architecture is that they need to teach sustainability or some form of green design and they’ll offer electives … but what they don’t do is, from very beginning to very end, is actually have it integrated into each and every concept that you undertake as a designer.”

Sam Gross/The Daily Wildcat

Harvested water fills a pond on the south side of the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture building. The building is considered one of the greenest on campus and houses some of the most green-oriented curricula on campus.

Crosson said the idea of this pedagogy, while it is clearly seen in the SBE track, has the overall goal of training students to keep the concept of sustainability in mind throughout all concentrations in the college. She is currently instructing a class that teaches the importance of sustainable design. Students in this class use real world examples on which to base a project on, and with one project in particular, they are able to examine the energy used in buildings on the UA campus and find ways to hypothetically renovate those buildings to be more energy efficient.

Back when this idea of sustainable education first began, assistant professor at CAPLA, Shane Smith, said that the actual curriculum, which tackles focus areas concerning the environment, water, energy, matter, wellness and culturation, sprouted from the task force that helped develop the system in 2013.

“We initially formed ... a sustainability task force,” Smith said. “Our task force consisted of members strictly from within the school of architecture and we went through a very thorough literature review—academic journals, publications and journal articles— on how sustainability is implemented in other architecture curricula. We didn’t really find any to that extent.”

For the students, learning to make the world of architecture a more productive and green place is an important goal. Tynan Hartzell, a senior on the SBE track, works toward sustainable efforts daily. For this Arizona

native, the idea of creating an environmentally viable place comes with living in this desert environment. With water and other natural resources being so scarce, he said the college as a whole has been forced to deal with architecture in conjunction with sustainable thought.

“Just being located in the desert, I think, … causes sustainability to be a core part of the college for a long time, before they ever advertised it, before sustainability was such a buzzword like it is today,” Hartzell said. “You have to mitigate for all the heat coming in from the Arizona sun. You have to create hospitable areas.”

Looking toward the future, Keith said the college plans to continue its curriculum of sustainable pedagogy to combat the growing challenges the earth faces. The program plans to tackle sustainability issues within the next few years.

Regarding social change, Keith and his colleague Michael Esser, coordinator of CAPLA, said those outside the program can also contribute to the fight of a more viable environment.

“Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it is something that we need have,” Esser said. “We need to look at how we live and look at more sustainable ways for the future because we have been living unsustainably.”

POLICE BEAT

BY CHRISTIANNA SILVA The Daily Wildcat

Mama’s boy A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the UA Bookstore for two 13-year-old shoplifters on March 17 at 1:02 p.m.

The officer spoke with bookstore security upon arrival, who said the surveillance camera showed two boys working together in an attempt to steal one pair of $9.99 Skullcandy headphones.

They stuffed the headphones into one of the boys’ backpacks and walked out the main exit of the bookstore. A UAPD officer immediately detained them.

The boys were on a field trip to visit the UA campus and, after lunch, their class went to the bookstore. When the boys were detained, one said he was the only one who put the headphones into his backpack. He was the only one placed in custody.

The officer read him his Miranda rights.

The boy said he did not understand his rights. The officer did not ask him any questions.

The boys’ teacher called his mother, who said she was on her way to the bookstore.

When the boys’ mother arrived, she signed the Parent’s Promise to Appear paperwork and her son was released to her.

He was under arrest on charges of shoplifting for 43 minutes.

The officer placed a copy of the surveillance camera footage into evidence.

Victim rights for UA risk management were completed.

Drunk and Disorderly Two University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Park Avenue to assist the Tucson Police Department with an intoxicated male seen walking in the road on March 16 at 1 a.m. TPD had the subject illuminated with a spotlight.

The subject said he had two outstanding warrants with TPD. While waiting on confirmation of the warrants, the subject became belligerent and began cussing and yelling. He said he was going to fight the UAPD officers if they took him to jail. He then spoke softly and asked for a lighter for his cigarettes. He asked if he could sober up at his house.

The warrants were confirmed and the officers placed the subject under arrest and in handcuffs. One officer belted the subject in the back seat. The subject began to kick the window separating the front and rear passenger compartments. He was not able to deliver any strong kicks.

The subject was transported to Pima County Jail. He sang the whole way from the car to the building. When he arrived, he would not follow directions and punched the booking window. He was ultimately booked to jail.

Phoenix med college dean moves on

BY LEAH MERRALL The Daily Wildcat

The dean of the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix is leaving his position for a similar post in Fort Worth, Texas.

Dr. Stuart Flynn was one of the founding deans of the Phoenix medical school in 2008.

He will start his new position in April as founding dean of a new medical school that will be jointly operated by Texas Christian University and the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

“TCU, the University of North Texas Health Science Center and Fort Worth offer all the ingredients needed to develop a cutting-edge M.D. school with national aspirations,” Flynn said. “I am excited to build this school with valued colleagues, including a nationally recognized osteopathic medical school, a renowned and forward-looking nursing program, excellent pharmacy and public health schools and several other high-caliber colleges at both universities.”

The Phoenix college admitted its first class in 2007 and has grown from an initial class of 24 students to its current class of 80 students.

In 2012, the Phoenix college obtained preliminary accreditation, giving the UA two separate medical schools. The accreditation hit a snag last summer when the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the group

across both campuses. He called working with Flynn “a pleasure” and said he enjoyed the opportunity.

Cairns has experienced what it’s like to be dean of a medical school, so he had some thoughts on what the post in Phoenix needs.

“I hope they pick someone who is nationally known who can help take both the College of Medicine – Phoenix, as well as Banner – [Health University Medical Center], as well as [the] UA forward,” Cairns said. “So having someone who is also collaborative and forward-thinking can take advantage of these new opportunities that we have, those unique opportunities we have here in Arizona.”

Cairns also said the new dean will have the opportunity to establish and maintain the independent accreditation that the Phoenix campus is on the path to receiving. He noted there is often confusion between the two schools, so the new leader would have the chance to assert the difference.

“I think the future is bright,” Cairns said.

“But the next leader will be in a pivotal position to determine the future trajectory of the College of Medicine – Phoenix and, frankly, how Phoenix evolves as an academic medicine community.”

Arizona primaries were a mess

BY APOORVA BHASKARA

T

The Daily Wildcat

he Arizona Presidential Preference Election, better known as the presidential primary, took place Tuesday and it was a fiasco.

The issues that happened because of poor planning and potential voter fraud were ridiculous. Hillary Clinton won with 57.6 percent in the Democratic primary and Donald Trump won the state with 47.1 percent among Republican candidates, but are these numbers truly representative of voters’ interests?

The biggest problem was the number of voting places open in Maricopa County in the greater Phoenix area. There were 200 polling locations in Maricopa County in the 2012 primary. There were only 60 locations open this year. That means there was one polling place for every 21,000 voters. Tucson, in comparison, had more polling places with a total of 130 in Pima County.

There was even evidence of voter discrimination and a disproportionately low number of polling places in Latino neighborhoods. Sen. Martin Quezada wrote, “In my district, there is only one polling place. In my neighboring district, LD 30, there are no polling places.”

Some people were lining up for over four hours to cast their votes. That is unacceptable.

Not only is this inconvenient for everyone who came out to vote, but it could have also skewed the demographic of people who were able to cast votes. Arizona had almost 900,000 votes in total, but how many more voters had to leave because the wait was too long?

Those who have busy work schedules, parents who need to look after their children or college students who have classes to attend have to take time out of their schedules to go vote.

Sometimes, it’s just not possible to wait in line for three hours in the middle of the day. These people were forced to leave before casting their vote.

This means that those who were able to cast their votes were the people who had enough time to wait. This group probably consisted of more retired seniors, people without children, people who were not in school and those with flexible job hours.

Bernie Sanders is known for his popularity among young voters—especially college students—and this demographic already has the hardest time voting. In addition to those college students who could not vote because they were registered in a different state or county, any student who had a class to get to or homework to complete would not have been able to stand in a line for an exorbitant amount of time on a weekday to cast a vote.

While these people may not have turned the tables on the election, the primary determines the number of delegates a candidate receives, and a few more votes may have meant more delegates.

Many voters who registered as Democrats were listed as independents at polling places all over the state. Arizona has closed primaries, so only voters registered in a party are allowed to vote in that party’s primary. It is outrageous that some people could have done everything correctly by registering and waiting in line for hours only to be told their votes would not count.

When questioned about the grossly limited number of polls, Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell first blamed the voters “for getting in line.”

Purcell later adjusted her statement to take responsibility for the debacle, but that does not negate her previous opinion. The point of a democracy is to provide every citizen an equal opportunity to cast their vote, and this did not occur in Arizona on Tuesday.

The primary was an absolute outrage. There is no excuse and the legitimacy of the election needs to be investigated.

A petition has been created on whitehouse. gov to “investigate the voter fraud and voter suppression in Arizona 3/22/2016 Democratic Party.” It already has over 100,000 signatures, meaning the Obama administration must issue an official response.

The overwhelming support of the petition shows that Americans are demanding that everyone get an equal chance to vote. This is what our country was built on, and this how our elections must operate.

ARIZONA OUTFIELDER Alfonso Rivas III swings at the ball during Arizona’s 11-5 win against St. Mary’s at Hi Corbett Field on Sunday, March 6. Rivas forced his way into the Arizona starting lineup and has unique ties to head coach Jay Johnson.

blows by Duke 82-68 to head to Elite Eight

Freshman finding his groove at UA  Fresh off receiving Pac-12 Player of the Week honors, Alfonso Rivas III is hitting his stride in a Wildcat uniform while adjusting to college

BY BRANDON JAMES The Daily Wildcat

For freshman Alfonso Rivas III, success is not something that comes easily. Once a young kid that moved to San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico, not knowing any English, Rivas is now a staple in the Wildcats’ starting lineup as a freshman.

Rivas is currently hitting .296, has hit 5 doubles, one homerun, scored seven runs and has 12 RBI’s. It was not easy for Rivas early on though. He moved to San Diego as a young fourth grader.

“I wanted to go back just because I had no friends,” Rivas said. “I didn’t know the language, which was the worst part because I couldn’t communicate with anyone.”

Baseball has been apart of Rivas’ life since he was a young kid in Tijuana. He started playing the game when he was two years old. Rivas said he started playing because of his dad and grandpa, who are both big baseball fans. His grandpa played professionally in Mexico.

Rivas started to enjoy the game when he was around 10 years old.

He said he realized how good he was and that he was better than most kids.

“When you do good, you feel good about yourself,” Rivas said.

“It’s what led me to like the game.”

Rivas did not allow the culture change to stop him from being successful after moving to San Diego. He took summer school courses for seven years to learn English and eventually got into La Jolla Country Day School.

Rivas continued to work hard when coming to Arizona under head coach Jay Johnson and earned a spot in the starting lineup early in the season.

“I wasn’t expecting anything really,” Rivas said. “I just knew that a spot was not going to be handed to me, so I had to earn the job .. So I just got to work, tried to do everything right and I guess it’s been paying off.”

Rivas broke out in the second week of the season when he had the chance to return home to San Diego to play in the Tony Gwynn Classic. Rivas had the chance to play in front of his parents, grandparents and family from Mexico, old coaches and high

school friends.

He did not disappoint his hometown fans, going 9-for15 with seven RBIs, four runs scored, a homerun and a double.

Rivas received Pac-12 Player of the Week honors for his performance.

“I was a little surprised on how well I did; I mean, it was only our second series of the season,” Rivas said. “I just felt really comfortable up there. I just felt like I belonged there. I knew I was good enough to play.”

When transitioning from high school to the UA, Rivas said the biggest challenge has been the schoolwork.

“I would say the biggest transition for me has been the school aspect, because I’ve never really been really good at school,” Rivas said. “So I have to focus a little more time into the school aspect of things.”

Outside of playing baseball and school, Rivas said he enjoys going to movies, going to the beach, spending time in the jacuzzi in the nice Tucson weather and relaxing and taking naps, as most college students tend to do.

Rivas said he enjoys playing

under Johnson, who has known him since his days coaching at the University of San Diego.

“I’m really excited about a few [of ] our freshman on both sides of the ball and Alfonso for sure,” Johnson said. “I knew he was going to be a real good player, having been in San Diego all those years. I was very familiar with him.”

Johnson said he started recruiting him at USD and at Nevada when he was the head coach there.

Rivas credited Johnson for continuing his development as a player. Johnson helped Rivas learn the mental side of the game, different hitting approaches and how to hit college pitching, especially harder fastballs.

“I just like the way we go about things,” Rivas said. “The way we work, the way practices are set up, the way individual work is available to you. I’m really pleased to be here with coach Johnson.”

Grant hitting new season with full force

BY JUSTIN SPEARS

The Daily Wildcat

TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

Nobody on a weekday afternoon at the Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium has a bigger smile on his face than the man wearing the navy blue No. 10 Arizona football practice jersey.

That’s exactly how UA wide receiver Samajie Grant intends to be from now until the season is over.

Going into his final season at Arizona, Grant is the next man up to become the premier receiver to carry the load.

With Cayleb Jones taking the early exit to the NFL and both David Richards and Johnny Jackson gone, the Wildcats are desperate for a leader. Rather than being the typical player that is going into his final year with a relentless, “me versus the world” attitude to improve his NFL draft stock, Grant is the one coaching the underclassmen.

It’s a mutual relationship, not only between him and the other receivers, but

Two ACL injuries won’t stop Smith

BY Matt Wall

The Daily Wildcat

Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona forward Ray Smith (2) dunks the ball during Arizona’s Red-Blue scrimmage in McKale Center on Oct. 17, 2015. The freshman missed the entire season after a second torn ACL.

For Ray Smith, the moment must have felt like an eternity.

Smith sat out a large portion of his senior season at Las Vegas High School after an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Everything was supposed to be different in Tucson. Things finally turned Smith’s way, as seen in the Arizona preseason Red-Blue Game. Smith finished 3-for-7 from the field, notching eight points, two assists and three turnovers in 20 minutes of action.

Sporting the No. 2 jersey in red and blue, he wowed the crowd, dancing and capitalizing on a top-notch dunk.

Then time stopped on Oct. 24. Smith injured his opposite knee in practice.

It wasn’t long before the 6-foot-8 forward out of Las Vegas was lost to an ACL injury for the entire season, before it even started.

“The year’s been all lifting,” Smith said in February. “Chris Rounds does an amazing job and I’ve taken it upon myself to try to get as big as I can physically.

It’s helped me a lot because my only problem was that I was too little.”

Smith has undoubtedly become a fearsome competitor on the sidelines. He

even became the team hype man in the huddle before games late in the season.

“Watched Ray Smith practice for the first time with UA today,” Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen tweeted. “Buried five straight 3’s [sic] after between-legs dribble, with fall back release. Wow.” While on the sidelines, Smith has seen it all and done a lot of watching.

He watched helplessly as his team fell to Wichita State University in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. He watched his teammates lose eight regular season games. He watched his head coach rip into his team’s starting center.

But all he could do was watch.

“I believe everything happens for a reason and when it first happened, I was down,” Smith said. “It’s really helped me to better my strengths and focus on my weaknesses.”

Those lessons have only pushed Smith to work harder, both on and off the court.

He is ready to guide next year’s Arizona team to greater heights, as he recently vowed to return and not test the NBA waters.

“I just can’t wait for the young fellas to come, show them the ropes, show them how to do things and get this team running and started again,” Smith said to

the Arizona Daily Star. “I’m a young fella, but I’m still pretty mature, so I will try to take this team under my wing, because no one is going to push us harder than someone who sat out for two years.”

Unfortunately, athletes tearing both of their ACL’s is not uncommon. In fact, they usually do suffer another one following the first, according to Dr. James Andrews, an orthopedic surgeon. Some notable athletes who suffered multiple ACL tears include Michael Redd and Sam Bradford.

“Coach really just preaches ‘take care of your business,’” Smith said. “Just get as big as I can. It’s good to be on these road trips to see how things work and different schools.”

Next season, it will be up to Smith to take charge of a team that featured lopsided offensive performances. Losing big men like Kaleb Tarczewski, Ryan Anderson and Mark Tollefsen, it’s time for Smith to take their place.

While it may not have happened as quickly as he may have liked, it’s Smith’s turn to shine. He’s been waiting for that moment for two years.

UA point guards at the helm of forgetful year

BY Matt Wall

The Daily Wildcat

For a school that produced star point guards in the likes of Damon Stoudamire, Miles Simon, Jason Terry, Gilbert Arenas, Jerryd Bayless, Mike Bibby and T.J. McConnell, the point guard spot just wasn’t up to par this weekend.

During most of the season, Arizona struggled to find its floor general and the leader to call the plays. The two individuals who took the reigns were Kadeem Allen and Parker JacksonCartwright.

“I think they did as well as they can with the personnel they have,” said Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen. “If you look at it, Parker Jackson-Cartwright is a heck of a nice kid, but he’s undersized and he’s not overly talented.

He’s probably—if you go back to 1983—the least capable starting point guard they’ve had.”

The Wildcats return a scorer in Allen next year and the speedy Jackson-Cartwright, and will rely heavily on incoming five-star superstar Kobi Simmons.

The position, however, seemed to be a struggle for Arizona much of the season, even with those high expectations and big names.

Arizona guard Kadeem Allen (5) drives the ball past Washington forward Matisse Thybulle (4) in McKale Center on Jan. 14.

Arizona guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright (0) plays defense against California in Berkeley, California on Jan. 23.

Just take a look at the Wichita State game in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

Nineteen total turnovers were the difference in the game, seven of those came from Allen. “[Head coach Sean Miller has] masked an issue at the point guard spot and I think it’s really hard to win at the highest level without a highend point guard,” said ESPN college basketball insider Jeff Goodman. “I think both [JacksonCartwright] and [Allen] have been good at times.

[Allen] is really not a true point guard and I think [Jackson-Cartwright] is really a good guy coming off the bench for a typical Arizona team.”

Goodman has a point. Whether you like it, Allen’s strong suit was to score. He was, after all, named the 2014 National JUCO Player of the Year and scored 25.9 points per game as a sophomore at Hutchinson Community College.

It was evident Allen showed rust early after redshirting, but at times it was evident he was just trying to do too much. In averaging 24.9 minutes of action a game this season, Allen scored 8.4 points per game, along with 3.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds.

At times, Jackson-Cartwright showed flashes of excellence. When the Wildcats needed a

fast basket, he managed to get it. When the UA couldn’t hit a shot from anywhere on the court, Jackson-Cartwright would spot up and hit the 3 or throw the pass that would lead to it.

Yet, he was rarely in the game at crucial late moments for much of the season and struggled to achieve consistent playing time. Overall, he finished with 21.2 minutes per game, along with 3.4 assists and 5.2 points per game.

Without a doubt, the Wildcats missed McConnell; nobody can deny that. His leadership late in the game was key for two integral seasons, as seen in clutch late-game miscues this season.

So what does Arizona have to look forward to? Well at the moment, barring unforeseen circumstances, both Allen and JacksonCartwright return hungrier than ever.

“Knowing that we have a lot of guys coming back, we just have to get back to work,” JacksonCartwright said.

As for Simmons, Arizona notches a crafty guard who has a video mixtape that will blow you away.

At the moment, Point Guard U may be up in the air. But as we continuously learn: Never doubt Miller.

Way, way too early Pac-12 rankings

BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat

1. Arizona — With a trio of five-star recruits in the fold and head coach Sean Miller not going to Pittsburgh, the Wildcats claim the No. 1 spot here. Arizona may not get Josh Jackson, but Allonzo Trier may return and Ray Smith will get a chance to show why he is a Wildcat.

2. UCLA — The Bruins did not make the tournament, but prized recruits Lonzo Ball and T.J. Leaf could be tremendous in 2016.

3. Oregon — The Ducks are losing Elgin Cook and Dwayne Benjamin to graduation and could be losing Dylan Brooks and Chris Boucher to the draft. The door might still be open for you in Tucson, Tyler Dorsey, so keep that in mind.

4. USC — The Trojans could return their top 10 scorers next year, as all of them have at least one more year of eligibility. With so much turnaround in the conference, they could be ranked again next season.

5. Washington — A team that missed the tournament will also lose its top freshmen to the draft.

6. Utah — The Utes will likely be without Jakob Poeltl next year, but they do have reinforcements in Jayce Johnson and Devon Daniels. Although neither will likely have the impact of Poeltl, they could still do damage in the Pac-12 Conference.

7. Oregon State — Gary Payton II is gone, but Tres Tinkle should be able to pick up the

slack. The team also has a couple of three-star recruits, so they could reach 20 wins next year.

8. Stanford — The Cardinal lost its coach but gained four-star recruit Kodye Pugh and three-star recruit Trevor Stanback.

9. California — The Golden Bears are losing Tyrone Wallace and will likely be without Ivan Rabb and Jaylen Brown, so next year could be miserable for the Golden Bears. The stars were supposed to align this year and we saw how that worked in Berkeley, California, this past season.

10. Colorado — The Buffaloes are losing star big man Josh Scott to graduation, so 2016 may be an uphill battle. The Buffaloes have three players signed, but only one is at least three-stars. It could get rough for the Buffs.

11. Arizona State — Bobby Hurley brought in four-stars Sam Cunliffe and Jethro Tshisumpa to the Sun Devils for 2016. This team is primed for a Cinderella NIT run, so watch out.

12. Washington State — The Cougars have not done much recruiting wise and finished last in the conference this season. They might improve from last year, but there is no concrete evidence that would say otherwise.

Relive the top Wildcat moments Although Arizona’s season ended earlier than many Tucsonans had hoped, there were many nail-biting, exciting games. While the last couple of games were upsetting, there were some moments that stood out this season

5

Early season win against Santa Clara

Santa Clara’s 44 points from Jared Brownridge were not enough, as Arizona won a nail biter in overtime at the DirecTV Wooden Legacy with a 75-73 win.

Gabe York was clutch at the freethrow line, while Santa Clara turned it over as Arizona escaped an early season upset.

The veteran frontcourt led the charge with seniors Ryan Anderson and Kaleb Tarczewski combining for 29 points and 19 rebounds, while Mark Tollefsen added 13 off the bench.

Revenge win over rival ASU

In a back-and-forth match with the Huskies in February, Arizona capped off a dominant week with a game-sealing offensive rebound and free throws to win 77-72.

After a 31-point outing against Washington State University, Ryan Anderson posted 22 points and 15 rebounds and earned Pac-12 Player of the Week for his performances against the Washington schools.

2

3 After tumbling in Tempe the previous two seasons, Arizona got its revenge in a 94-82 victory over ASU. The second half involved a barrage of Gabe York 3-pointers and a Bobby Hurley suit spike, which led to his ejection.

ASU’s “curtain of distraction” was not enough to compensate for its team as the Wildcats showed them who the powerhouse in Arizona was.

4

Anderson leads Wildcats over Washington

1

Second-half surge against Gonzaga

Gabe York’s 3-pointer against Cal

Like last year’s overtime thriller in McKale Center, Arizona clawed out a tough 68-63 win over Gonzaga after trailing a good portion of the game. After falling behind by double digits in the first half, the Wildcats stormed back with York and Allonzo Trier leading the charge.

York scored 14 points in the second half while Trier was relentless to the basket for his 14 points. Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis combined to score 51 points for Gonzaga, but the Wildcats held their teammates to only 12 points and forced 16 for the win.

After falling to California 74-73, another heartbreaking loss to the Golden Bears seemed inevitable until York stepped up. The Wildcats defeated Cal 64-61 with an 11-0 run to take down the Bears.

York hit two 3-pointers in the last minute, including the game winner, with 19 seconds remaining to avenge Arizona’s loss to Cal earlier in the season.

WILD ABOUT Where in the world is Ezra Amacher?

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

There’s not a whole lot to do in Pullman, Washington, on a Wednesday night in early February. Sure, Bill Walton likes to claim the Pac-12 Conference has no truck stops, but Pullman—the home of Washington State University—comes pretty close to resembling one.

That’s where the Arizona men’s basketball team was sent in the middle of this conference season and I was crazy enough to follow them there. Not many people seemed eager to join us.

A half-hour before the Wildcats tipped off against the Cougars in Washington State’s Beasley Coliseum, the arena with more them 11,500 seats was mostly empty.

Eventually, a handful of people made their ways over to the arena, including a good number of Arizona fans.

Yes, even in the corner of southeastern Washington there exist plenty of Wildcats supporters who crave the chance to see their team play in person.

If any singular observation arose from a year of covering the team in Tucson and on the road, it’s the incredible popularity of Arizona basketball on the West Coast.

When Arizona took the court at schools like Stanford University and USC, the team was cheered on by a split crowd.

And at California, Washington and UCLA—not to mention Arizona’s mammoth December meeting with Gonzaga University—home fans arrived in droves expecting to see the West Coast’s next-best show outside the Golden State Warriors.

Arizona, for its part, usually showed up to play.

The Wildcats displayed particular fondness for the state of Washington, where they went 3-0.

When Arizona erased a double-digit halftime lead at Gonzaga and closed out a win in the final seconds, the team ran off

the court to a chorus of “U of A” chants.

The celebration continued in the locker room. In the underpass of McCarthey Athletic Center, ESPN broadcaster Jay Bilas waited to chat with a team that had hopes of putting together another dominating season.

But some things don’t go as planned.

A month later, Arizona traveled to Los Angeles hoping to start the Pac-12 season off on a strong note. Instead, the team was delivered a pair of heartbreaking losses.

Bryce Alford’s last-second shot did the Wildcats in at Pauley Pavilion before USC topped Arizona in an epic four-overtime affair.

I don’t think any Arizona player looked as crushed all season as Gabe York did after Arizona’s loss to UCLA. Standing outside the opposing locker room, York refused to make eye contact with the half dozen or so media members. His voice was barely picked up by iPhone recording apps.

When Arizona closed out its regular season travels with road trips to Boulder, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, the team’s excitement of playing in tough, opposing venues had waned.

After a close loss to Utah, all Kadeem Allen could do was shrug and point forward to the postseason, as if the magic might come back once the calendar flipped from February to March. Instead, Arizona’s final two trips of the season were abrupt ones.

The last Wildcats games I covered at the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas featured a team lacking the confidence of a group destined for a deep run in March. When Arizona defeated Colorado in the first round of the tournament, the UA locker room post-game resembled a morgue. No one wanted to talk.

I AM THE

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Top recruiting class in the cards

W i l dcat y l i a D Name: Jacqueline Mwangi

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

Arizona still in the mix for top recruits Is Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller on the verge of adding to the Wildcats’ highly ranked 2016 recruiting class?

Quite possibly.

Terrance Ferguson, a five-star shooting guard out of Dallas, was in Tucson on Thursday for an official visit. “#BearDown see you tomorrow,” Ferguson tweeted Wednesday.

Thursday morning, he tweeted, “I’m Here.”

Ferguson is a 6-foot-7 wing who decommitted from Alabama at the beginning of the month. He is ranked the No. 15 overall player in the class of 2016, according to the recruiting website 247sports.com.

Ferguson already knows Miller well, having played for the Arizona head coach this past summer for USA Basketball.

If Ferguson commits to Arizona, he will become the fourth five-star recruit to join the Wildcats’ 2016 class.

The UA already has pledges from Finnish center Lauri Markkanen, along with guards Rawle Alkins and Kobi Simmons. Alkins committed earlier this month.

Miller alluded to the importance of adding to the Wildcats’ already topranked 2016 class following Arizona’s first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Wichita State.

“It’s an important recruiting class and I think for us to be able to hit it out of the park in the next month is big,” Miller said. “Hopefully we can do that.”

Arizona is still in the hunt for Josh Jackson, a small forward who is considered by many to be the top overall recruit in the class. Jackson is down to Arizona, Michigan State and Kansas.

A McDonald’s All-American selection,

Jackson would arguably be the highestranked recruit to ever commit to Arizona.

The Detroit native is playing his senior season at Prolific Prep in Napa, California.

In an interview with USA Basketball earlier this week, Jackson provided a bit of insight into his selection process.

Jackson named trust factor and style of play as the top two factors in his decision, saying that he wants to play “under a coach who is going to push me and not just kiss my butt, because I am who I am or they want me so bad. Push me to get better.”

Jackson also implied that weather could play into his choice. “… Being from Michigan, I hated the cold,” Jackson told USA Basketball. “I hated the winter. Shoveling snow all the time. To come out here and live in this weather, I’ve really enjoyed it.”

Miller in Pittsburgh rumors clarified Even after Miller tweeted that he had no interest in the University of Pittsburgh head coaching vacancy, rumors that Miller may have traveled to Pittsburgh and met with school officials persisted.

Rich Walsh, a reporter for Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA, insisted Miller was in town to discuss the job.

“Why do I keep getting asked if Coach Miller was in Pittsburgh yesterday?

Is that still really a thing…,” tweeted Ryan Reynolds, director of Basketball Operations at Arizona.

Reynolds put those reports away for good on Wednesday.

“I was sitting with Coach in his office in McKale [Center]as the report of him ‘being’ in Pittsburgh was released & I saw him send the tweet, lol,” Reynolds tweeted.

A deeper look into our universe The Near Infrared Camera on the James Webb Space Telescope aims to look at early star and galaxy formation after the 2018 launch

BY STEVE PRESTON The Daily Wildcat

The upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will allow astronomers to peer deeper than ever before into the history of the early universe, according to Marcia Rieke, principal investigator for the Near Infrared Camera of the Webb telescope.

As principal investigator, Rieke is responsible for overseeing the construction of the NIRCam, which entails working alongside the engineers who built the camera as well as making sure that the project is completed on time and within budget.

Rieke said the Webb telescope

is currently undergoing testing at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The NIRCam was built at Lockheed Martin in Tucson.

Brenda Frye, assistant astronomer in the Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory at the UA, said the Webb telescope will be unlike any other space-based telescope to date.

“It’s larger than anything we have had before, more sensitive than anything we have had before and with far better instrumentation and technology,” Frye said.

Working with infrared allows astronomers to observe more light than the human eye has the ability

to detect.

Don McCarthy, an astronomer at the Steward Observatory who worked on the NIRCam for the Webb telescope, said any mass that has heat emits its own light in the form of infrared.

This means Earth’s atmosphere glows in infrared light even at night, which drowns out much of the starlight behind it. This makes it difficult to use an infrared telescope to the best of its ability when stationed below the atmosphere.

That is why the Webb telescope is planned to launch into orbit around the Sun, about 1 million miles away from Earth’s orbit.

Occupying an orbit of that distance

from Earth will make it impossible for any repairs to be made once the telescope is in space.

“I think the single biggest thing is figuring out how to make this all work without you ever touching it,” Rieke said.

While the Hubble Space Telescope is kept at about 76 degrees Fahrenheit, Rieke said the Webb telescope will maintain a temperature of around 40 degrees above absolute zero. This is to ensure that it can optimally capture faint and distant light in infrared wavelengths without disturbances from any unnecessary heat signatures.

The Webb telescope will allow

Fighting malaria with genetically modified mosquitoes

BY CHEYENNE MERRICK The Daily Wildcat

Summer is quickly approaching. With the heat and the monsoons on their way, the arrival of mosquitoes will soon follow.

Aside from being pesky creatures that leave itchy, red bumps, mosquitoes also host many human diseases, including West Nile virus, dengue fever and malaria. Yet, researchers at the UA have genetically modified a mosquito that is essentially Malariaproof.

STEVE RINGMAN/THE SEATTLE TIMES/TNS Michael Riehle, associate professor of entomology in the College MOSQUITOES RAISED at Seattle BioMed cling to fabric of Agriculture and Life Sciences, in December 2014. Mosquitoes like these will hopefully be collaborated with researchers and unable to spread malaria and other harmful diseases. mosquitoes that are doing most of the entomologists at thr UA and University of California, Davis to genetically modify disease transmission,” Riehle said. “Our a species of mosquito known to carry initial thought was if we could reduce the the parasite that causes malaria: the life span below that incubation period of a couple days, we could stop the disease Plasmodium parasite. transmission from occurring.”

The research is being done on To the researchers’ surprise, after the mosquito species Anopheles feeding the genetically modified stephensi, a species found in the mosquitoes malaria-infested blood, Indian subcontinent that is a common none of them became infected with the vector for malaria.

Riehle and his colleagues modified Plasmodium parasite.

The study concluded that the the mosquitoes’ genes to affect certain metabolic functions. The modification genetically modified mosquitoes was originally designed to affect the were immune from transmitting mosquito’s growth rate and lifespan, the parasite to another host after therefore affecting their susceptibilities their lifespans were shortened. Yet, this new discovery did not come without of carrying the Plasmodium parasite.

Because the Plasmodium parasite obstacles.

“We now had a malaria-resistant, but takes about 12-14 days to complete developmental stages within the unfit, mosquito that wouldn’t compete digestive tract of a mosquito, the in nature at all because we shortened its mosquitoes transmitting the disease are lifespan,” Riehle said. “We’ve been trying to figure out how the malaria parasite those near the end of their lifespans.

“Only about 1 percent of mosquitoes was killed and rectify our issue with the live to 14 days, so it’s only these geriatric short-lived mosquitoes.”

Riehle and his team were busy studying ways to manipulate the mosquito’s lifespan and metabolic functions to create a malaria-proof mosquito that would also be capable of surviving in the wild.

“With all of these genetically engineered mosquito strategies, the idea is to replace the wild population with the malariaresistant ones,” Riehle said. “We’ve been making other genetically engineered lines that have either an increased lifespan or increased reproduction. We are basically trying to create a more fit mosquito and then we are going to couple that with the malaria resistance and hopefully have a strain that is resistant and could survive in the wild.”

Riehle and his team are looking at ways they can apply this research to other species of mosquitoes to prevent diseases found here in the Southwest.

“We are also working on a project, trying to understand how dengue has come into southern Arizona and what the risk is for the virus coming in,” Riehle said. “The same mosquito that transmits dengue also transmits Chikungunya and Zika viruses. We are going out into the field in Mexico and Tucson, where dengue is endemic, and trying to figure out if mosquitoes are living longer there.”

The advancements being made with mosquitoes and disease prevention are occurring in controlled labs here at the UA, but one day, we may see a new generation of mosquitoes living in the wild that are incapable of carrying and transmitting human diseases.

astronomers to observe objects within our universe at greater distances than before. “[The mirror is] 6.5 meters across instead of only 2.4 meters across,” Rieke said. “So the diameter is almost a factor of three different and that means that the area, if you go through the numbers, collects about eight times as much light.”

This powerful new telescope will attempt to fill in some of the missing pieces of the cosmological time line concerning how the universe evolved, from the point of the big bang to the formation of the first stars and galaxies.

“We know that we go from these clumps of hydrogen to these things that look like baby galaxies and so the goal is to fill in those details,” Rieke said.

Astronomers also plan to study the composition of these young stars and galaxies which formed early in our universe’s history.

“It will be very interesting to see what we measure from those very young galaxies, in terms of how much carbon, oxygen, nitrogen they have compared to what we see now,” Rieke said.

Identifying these early stars is possible because they possess a different compositional make up than those that formed later on. It is thought that the first generation of stars were composed almost entirely of hydrogen, helium and bits of lithium.

Heavier elements beyond that are created and dispersed throughout the universe when stars die in the form of violent explosions known as supernovae.

“When [stars] blow up, they deposit lots of heavy elements out into space, which are then incorporated into the next generation of stars and planets,” Rieke said.

The Webb telescope should be able to answer many questions surrounding the early stages of evolution within our universe.

The telescope is scheduled to launch in 2018.

Plates on display at the opening reception of “Plating the Desert” on Tuesday, March 8. The plates were designed to showcase local foods and food we should be putting on our plates.

UA art connecting students with local foods BY natalie robbins The Daily Wildcat

At a time when food systems are increasingly clogged with processed and fattening foods, it may seem hard to eat healthy and locally.

Thankfully, a new art exhibit at the UA Student Union Memorial Gallery, titled “Plating the Desert,” aims to help students reconnect with the local foods in and around Tucson.

The exhibit officially opened March 8 and will run until March 25.

It was put on by the environmental arts committee within the UA Students for Sustainability. Funding for the project came through the UA Green Fund. To make the exhibit

possible, Students for Sustainability partnered with Tucson Magnet High School, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, the UA Community and School Garden, the UA community garden class and the UA Ceramics Class.

Hand-crafted pottery plates line the gallery, each representing the relationship between the desert environment and food. The plates were created by UA students in UA professor Aurore Chabot’s ceramics class and students from Tucson High Magnet School’s ceramics class taught by Jill Bennett.

“It ended up boiling down to working with one of Jill’s classes and one of Aurore’s classes to craft plates thinking about using the plate as a medium for ideas of what we should eat and what should

go on our plate,” said Stephanie Choi, committee chair for the Environmental Arts Committee.

Along with the plates, the exhibit features illustrations, photographs, paintings and student work from classes within the UA community garden class. Collectively, the exhibit brings an arts and literary perspective to the environmental movement.

The elements of local food featured in the exhibit transcend the boundaries of both science and art. The culture and community associated with food ties in the project from an artistic standpoint.

“To paraphrase the folklorist Maribel Alvarez, food is more than just the food item you consume,”said Moses Thompson, community outreach coordinator

for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. “Food carries with it a sense of place, colors, textures, stories and traditions.”

Meanwhile, the agriculture and soil behind foods ties them into science. Eating locally can decrease the amount of miles the food in the fridge travels to make it there. It can also mean lower emissions from trucks carrying the food.

“When you are growing local in community gardens, the soil is better and you are treating it better,” Choi said. “You can also control for water. .... A lot of the community gardens have their own cisterns and do their own rainwater collection.”

Nutrition is also tied into eating locally, especially in low-income communities.

“Local foods are typically

unprocessed, healthy foods,” Thompson said. “All of the schools we work in have substantial numbers of kids who live at or below the poverty line and come from communities over-represented in diet-related illness. If the local food movement is about community transformation, local food has to be available to our community’s most vulnerable.”

Tucson is a recently recognized United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization World City of Gastronomy. “Plating the Desert” provides a way for students to reconnect to their local food systems in Tucson.

Grad Center hosts healthy living lecture series

BY CASEY ALDAVA

The Daily Wildcat College is hard.

Between classes, work, extra curricular activities and a social life, there’s barely enough time left for basic personal hygiene and maybe a couple of hours of sleep.

This chaos causes students to often leave their health on the metaphorical back burner, if it’s even on their minds at all. The UA’s Graduate Center understands this problem better than anyone.

The center designed a six-part lecture series about healthy living based on scientific research to help combat unhealthy habits.

The series is currently running and emphasizes a different aspect of healthy living in each installment, with topics ranging from psychology to the importance of sleep and nutritional health.

The most recent segment of the series, which featured on Tuesday, focused on positive psychology—a newer branch of psychology that prefers to study the beneficial habits of healthy people—rather than the detrimental habits and symptoms that lead to disease and disorders.

Students are in the homestretch to finals and the end of the year.

Adopting healthier lifestyles can help students survive until summer and then prepare for school again next semester.

Michael Strangstalien, a mental health clinician and counselor at UA Counseling and Psych Services, made the most out of the lecture’s designated hour by covering a wide range of material about positive psychology and how to incorporate it into your life or, as he put it, how to “flourish.”

One of the biggest themes of the night stressed not trying to figure out how to stay happy all of the time or how to avoid setbacks. Instead, Strangstalien emphasized that the healthiest way to live is by embracing your setbacks and learning how to bounce back from them. It’s healthy to acknowledge unhappy events, but he encourages students to strive to keep moving forward.

Strangstalien also encouraged people to find ways to be enthusiastic about life, even the parts of it that aren’t necessarily thrilling all the time, like when

POSTER FOR Healthy Living Lecture Series put on by the UA Graduate Center. The next series installment is on Tuesday, April 5.

his dogs are overjoyed to go on the same walk every day.

“Really where it came from was thinking of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and people in those kinds of situations that are under that kind of stress, but you know all of us are,” said interim faculty director of the Graduate Center and speech, language and hearing sciences professor Jenny Hoit.

“Everybody’s under stress and how can we deal with this, how can we have the most fulfilling life possible?”

Many of the themes from the talk have connections to branches of philosophy and the recurring idea that a most desirable you exists somewhere, living your most desirable life. These fields, including positive psychology and some branches of moral philosophy, are designed to try to figure out the best way to get there.

“The cool thing about this series is that it’s all research-based approaches to healthy living, which is really important … to hear these different ideas that are

research-based that have actual findings associated with them and results that are verifiable,” said Program Coordinator for the Graduate Center David Bradshaw. “Everything you’ll hear in this series is verifiable by studies done by the speakers.”

While living, working and learning in such a fast-paced culture where everyone is doing something and no one is doing nothing, it is easy to get swept up in the bedlam. Hoit advised students to always keep an open mind about what they’re doing

and to never let a generic, cookiecutter template control their lives.

“You’re the only one who really knows what you need to do for yourself and where you’re going,” Hoit said.

This advice applies to dealing with individual health as well. While everyone handles stress, anxiety and depression differently, it never hurts to take a step back and think about how you’re treating yourself, because nothing is worth sacrificing your health and well being.

This lecture series has something everyone can benefit from.

“We’re talking about diet, we’re talking about exercise, we’re talking about the brain, we’re talking about positive psychology, resilience,” said Hoit.

“A lot of graduate students have a lot of stress, ending up in a lot of medical problems, psychological problems, physical problems and I see it all the time.”

Students may not consciously realize the destructive ramifications of habits that have become commonplace in a competitive academic environment. Making just a few small changes can help.

One change that can help is meditation.

“We don’t have to shave our heads and get a brown robe,” said Strangstalien. “Neuroscience has shown 10 minutes of being able to focus in the moment has an effect.”

The lecture was not without a few old, tired cliches, like being your own cheerleader, finding “luck” by proactively putting yourself in lucky situations and, of course, the pinnacle of positive psychology: the famous and debatable pyramid of selfactualization. The interesting and applicable aspects of the talk were worth a few eye rolls overall.

Part four of the lecture series, given by Patricia Haynes, an associate professor in Health Promotion Sciences, will discuss why sleep matters. Haynes is a clinical psychologist with expertise in sleep psychology.

The lecture will be held on April 5 at 5:30 p.m. in room 103 of the Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch building.

‘Cats take on the heat in looks of the week BY erica szpylczyn The Daily Wildcat

Post-spring break blues are upon us, which means it’s time to put away the basic dark colors of our winter wardrobes and replace them with spring and summer styles.

Tucson skips spring and goes straight to summer, with temperatures back in the 80s and 90s, bringing back shorts, tank tops, dresses and skirts to campus.

“I am from the University of Alaska at Anchorage visiting my friend, so the weather is very different here,” said Sage Allen, a nursing sophomore. “It’s a little

too hot in Arizona, but at home I usually wear leggings and a sweatshirt, so this is a nice change. I’m wearing a skirt for the first time since the fall and I love it.”

The visitor sported a white ribbed H&M crop top, an H&M floral circle skirt and navy blue Vans. Allen said her favorite store is Nordstrom because of the variety of different brands.

Dresses are another campus warm weather favorite. Sundresses and dresses that aren’t tight are popular choices in Arizona’s dry heat.

“I like to chill and relax. I hate clothes that are too tight, but I also hate clothes that are too short,” said Natalie Gutierrez,

a pre-business freshman. “I like to buy my summer clothes at Brandy Melville or Anthropologie. [I like] Brandy because the looks are laid back and nothing’s extravagant, while [I like] Anthropologie because it’s simple.”

Gutierrez wore a red, box-like T-shirt dress, white Nike socks, maroon Vans, metallic Ray-Ban sunglasses, a Lululemon tote bag, Alex and Ani bracelets and Pandora rings.

Shorts, a hot commodity, are also making a comeback.

“I totally prefer shorts over pants,” said Alicia Evard, a junior studying chemistry and studio art. “I like to wear a solid

colored shirt with some patterned shorts and cute sandals. That has to be my go-to outfit in the morning.”

Evard wore a basic gray v-neck tee, navy striped Forever 21 pants, white Converse sneakers and metallic, rose-colored, circular Ray-Ban sunglasses. Her favorite store is Forever 21 because of the good prices, she said.

The top looks of this week definitely show that Wildcats are ready for spring.

The rule to creating the optimal walkingto-class outfit has to be: “Less is more.”

Dogs of UA are ready for spring

BY TAYLOR BRESTEL

The Daily Wildcat Summer is coming, bringing longer days and higher temperatures, which means more dogs playing on campus. One dog could be found on or near the UA Mall Tuesday evening and one other was found after a thorough search of the grassy areas.

We found Sawyer lying on the ground next to his owner Whitney Mohr at a table near CC’s Coffee House. Mohr works at the UA as a community director for Babcock, Pima and Rawls/Eller Lodge Residence Halls. She has had Sawyer since August 2014.

Sawyer is a rescue dog. Mohr says he’s probably 3 or 4 years old, but she doesn’t know for sure. He wears a Superman collar and lies calmly on the concrete until it’s time for pictures.

Sawyer is not an ordinary dog. He’s registered as an emotional support animal, which means he can travel on a plane with his owner. Mohr said Sawyer loves to travel and she often takes him with her to visit her parents in Iowa.

“His favorite toy is his stuffed squirrel, because there aren’t any [real] squirrels here,” Mohr said.

Sawyer is originally from North Carolina, where squirrels are much more common, according to Mohr. Sawyer lives in Pima with his owner, who takes him for walks every day, usually around the Mall.

“He likes to people watch,” she said. “He

likes to go sit somewhere and just observe and hope people come to pet him.”

Everyone thinks his or her dog is the best dog, including Mohr.

“There’s so many things that are special about him,” Mohr said. “He’s just all-around a perfect dog.”

Another dog was found playing on the lawn outside of Yuma Residence Hall. Luna, a miniature American Eskimo, ran around enjoying the nice weather. Her owners, Mallory Baker, a general studies senior, and Corey Suzukawa, had taken her for a walk around campus.

Luna, like Sawyer, comes from out of state.

Her owners got her from a breeder in San Diego, Suzukawa’s hometown.

The American Kennel Club describes miniature American Eskimo dogs as perky, playful and smart, and Luna definitely fits the profile.

“We usually take her on four or five walks a day,” Suzukawa said.

Luna liked to lick everything, including the notebook, the camera and the other people around.

“She’s a hyper dog,” Baker said.

Luna lives in the Sol y Luna apartment, although she had the name first. She’s nine months old. Baker and Suzukawa have had her since she was a puppy.

Luna isn’t fully trained yet, but she can obey commands like “sit,” “stay” and “lie down.”

“She loves people, especially little kids,”

TAYLOR BRESTEL/THE DAILY WILDCAT

LUNA, a miniature American Eskimo, poses for a photo on Wednesday, March 23. The dogs of the UA enjoy being on campus in the springtime.

Suzukawa said. “She likes other dogs too.”

During the interview, Luna was playing with her favorite toy, a squeaky tennis ball. Her owners said she had more of those at home and she loves them all.

“She’s a cuddly little snowball,” Baker said.

Wooden Tooth Records is your new go-to place for music, chill hangouts

BY MARIEL BUSTAMANTE

The Daily Wildcat

Looking for new music or a cool new place to hangout? Wooden Tooth Records is your new go-to place.

Just inside a hard-to-find café lies a hidden gem called Wooden Tooth Records. Wooden Tooth is a small, independent shop that opened in 2015. Located inside Café Passé, this store holds a variety of music, from 1960s Japanese Pop-Bossanova to the Smiths.

The music it carries isn’t like most record stores.

“We try to carry stuff like all over the board,” said Wooden Tooth employee Kellen Fortier. “We don’t really carry so much of the modern pop stuff. We feel like other places can do that better than we can, so we just want to fill more of a niche for like cool, obscure things and open peoples eyes to new music.”

Genres at the shop include rockabilly, classic rock, old school country music, underground rap and

local favorites.

The shop is connected to Café Passé’s backyard, which has a beautiful patio filled with wooden chairs and tables and string lights. More importantly, it has a wooden stage where local bands and artists come to perform, thanks to Wooden Tooth Records. Besides hosting small concerts, the shop does a variety of things like host vinyl listening parties and have cool giveaways. The

alternative feel that the shop has to offer ties in perfectly with the coolness of Café Passé.

Wooden Tooth is unlike any cliche record store, with the grungy feel and the extremely filled capacity that these stores have. The owners decorated it in such a way that local art and music are incorporated.

“We opened this place because there was really a void of record stores

in Tucson and we just wanted to be able to provide like cool music at a good price,” Fortier said. “Basically what I love about working here is that I get to hang out and listen to records all day. I meet awesome people from all locks of life and I really can’t complain about it.”

Neither can we.

Wooden Tooth Records is the hidden gem of the Dirty T, with no other place like it.

This hidden gem won’t be hard to find for much longer. Wooden Tooth is moving to its own storefront location and is planning its grand re-opening for April 16, which happens to be Record Store Day. You can find its new home at 416 E. Seventh St. The store will give away free stuff and put out new records for the grand opening. Go and give this rad place some love and see why we love this hidden gem.
