GR ∑∑K LIFE A look at the increase of Greek Life violating the Student Code of Conduct and being placed under sanctions at the UA BY ELISABETH MORALES The Daily Wildcat
A
s time passes and societal norms change, UA Greek Life will learn that certain behaviors are less likely to be tolerated. With 13 percent of the undergraduate student body at the UA belonging to a fraternity or sorority, Greek Life boasts a huge presence throughout the campus. However, in recent years, this powerful presence has been dwindling. In the past five years, five fraternities have been removed from campus due to violations of the student code of conduct and thirteen out of the 17 fraternities recognized by the Interfraternity Council are currently under sanctions. Anthony Caputo, an alumnus of Delta Tau Delta at the UA and current member of the chapter advisory committee, said that he began to notice a change in Greek Life on campus when he returned to Tucson in the late ’90s and became the chapter adviser of Delta Tau Delta. “The way fraternities functioned and the way they behaved on campus was just different,” Caputo said. “It was a different time, and I think [Greek Life] has continued to change, and I think that there is a greater level of responsibility that is expected.” Last semester, UA fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon was under investigation for allegations accusing the organization of violating hazing and alcohol policies. Within the same semester, SAE was also accused of assaulting members of another fraternity on campus, Alpha Epsilon Pi. Pi Kappa Phi was permanently removed from the UA campus last school year due to multiple violations of the university’s Student Code of Conduct. Whether the cause of this recent spike in fraternities and sororities being under investigation is due to an increase in deviant behavior, less tolerance on the university and national chapter level, or simply an increase in negative publicity is unclear. Jack Emery, president of the Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter at the UA, holds the growing power of the Internet and social media responsible for the recent scrutiny of greek organizations. “I think the media and the negative publicity that finds itself on the Internet specifically really builds on itself,” Emery said. “So, when there is a negative story or

CATS4Critters is a club on campus whose main goal is to promote responsible pet ownership among university students and employees. Susan Miller, a UA employee working for Arizona Research Labs, started the club about a year ago during the spring semester with a few of her friends working at the UA. Initially, it was named CATS4Kitties, but it was changed because the group had an individual representing a dog rescue. The word “Cats” references the UA, and “Critters” is used to signify the club’s desire to help dogs and cats. For dogs, they are looking for people who might want to give a temporary home to a dog in danger of being put down at Pima Animal Care Center. “That would be a good thing for a student to do, because a foster home would probably only be for a month or two,” Miller explains in an email. “We haven’t seen any dogs on campus yet, but who knows,

maybe one day we will.” There are at least a dozen stray cats on campus, but the exact amount is uncertain. The group created a Facebook page, UA CATS4Critters, where people can report sightings of stray animals seen on campus. The group has approximately 25 club members, according to Miller. CATS4Critters is focused on UA students and stray animals that have ended up on campus. “We want students to understand that adopting a pet is a long-term commitment for the life of the animal, and that animals left on the streets or on campus face very harsh conditions,” Miller writes. “Alternatives to adopting are volunteering for a rescue organization or giving a cat or dog a temporary foster home while it is being readied for adoption.” Sherry Jacobs, an associate accountant at the UA since 1989, has been a member of the club since October and joined because she is an animal lover. “I feel like I am doing something

negative thing that happened, not only are the individual greek organizations put under the microscope but I think the university is as well.” Kaeli Johnson, a communications junior and former member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, agrees with Emery. “Much of Greek Life has been scrutinized because of the impact these organizations have on our school,” Johnson said. “The University of Arizona is known for having numerous sororities and fraternities, but they need to be seen as a positive representation.” Caputo speculates it has something to do with a shift in societal norms, as well as a decreased tolerance toward certain behaviors. He said that what used to only receive a slap on the wrist is now closely looked at. “As a society, there were things that used to happen, and examples would be how we treated women, how we used or abused alcohol,” Caputo said, “and at one point in time, it was kind of like a nudge-nudge, wink-wink. As long as you didn’t get in too much trouble or nobody really got hurt, then everything’s OK — and that doesn’t go that way anymore.” Others said they believe nothing has changed over the years regarding an increase of the number of fraternities and sororities placed under a guidance period or permanently removed from campus. Kendal Washington White, the assistant vice president for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, said she believes media hype plays a role. White pointed out that the UA is an institution that chooses to put a judicial report online, which allows anyone to see which chapter violated what policy and what their consequences are. “We do that for transparency,” White said. “We want students and their parents who are thinking about joining a greek organization to approach that with eyes wide open.” Johanne Ives, the assistant dean of students and director for Fraternity and Sorority Programs, said chapters may be lost due to conduct-related issues or that there may not be

to help the city of Tucson, because imagining stray cats on campus is something that most people that live in Tucson don’t think about,” Jacobs said. “I can help get the stray cats neutered and vaccinated so we can turn off the faucet.” Some people are aware of the stray cats on campus but don’t know what to do, Jacobs said, so if they know this club exists, people can contact the club for answers. Dionisia Saner, the Clinical Research Informatics Specialist at Arizona Health Sciences Center, joined the UA in June. She became treasurer of CATS4Critters in September. “I have a love for animals, and I saw a stray cat where my office is,” Saner said, “so I looked up the club list and found CATS4Critters.” She emailed the club and said she wanted to help take care of the cat named Daisy by her office. Saner said she likes that the club is dedicated, caring and that it makes room for ideas to be presented in taking care of animals. “We are trying to promote thoughtful adoptions and [TrapNeuter-Vaccinate-Return],” Saner said. “We want to help people understand that adopting an animal is a big decision, and they cannot adopt an animal for six months and then abandon them. It’s not fair.” The club tries to make sure there are no more cats that end up on the street from bad decisions made by people, Saner said.

Judaic studies and co-chair for the Holocaust Vigil, said she thinks the most important part of hosting the 24th annual vigil at the UA is creating awareness. “This is something that happened close to 70 years ago, and a lot of people believe that it never happened to begin with,” Port said. “It’s Hillel’s opportunity to show the campus that the Holocaust did happen and was something that affected millions and millions of lives.” Amalia Mark, director of Jewish Student Life, said the immersive nature of this event is what makes the experience unique. “Having pods out on the [UA] Mall for 24 hours that students can walk into and feel what life was like in

The Daily Wildcat is an independent student newspaper published Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters at the University of Arizona. It is distributed on campus and throughout Tucson with a circulation of 10,000. The function of the Daily Wildcat is to disseminate news to the community and to encourage an exchange of ideas. The Daily Wildcat was founded under a different name in 1899.

Additional copies of the Daily Wildcat are available from the Student Media office. The Daily Wildcat is a member of The Associated Press and the Associated Collegiate Press.
Ann Danowitz, a UA employee working as the server Systems Administrator for research groups Arizona Genomics Institute and Sanderson Labs, is the club’s associate chair. “We want students to adopt pets, because it is a good thing to do but not to abandon them when they leave for the summer,” Danowitz said. “That creates a real hardship for the animals and a problem on campus.” The club tries to improve the lives of feral cats through the TrapNeuter-Vaccinate-Return program sponsored by the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Danowitz said this will help to minimize populations on campus. UA CATS4Critters plans to hold a bake sale this spring along with an information event on the UA Mall. The sales will fund a banner for the club. “Now that we have funds, we can publicize our mission to promote responsible pet ownership on campus,” Danowitz said. “We may also make donations to some of the Tucson homeless pet shelters.” Club members only meet from noon to 12:50 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the UA Bookstore in Room 220, behind the service desk. All UA staff and students are welcome to join. There is a meeting today to discuss another possible bake sale and a spring event on the UA Mall.

Europe before the war,” Mark said, “and the tiny space of being in a cattle car is a really moving and intense experience. Hearing names of [people] who perished in the Holocaust being read for 24 hours straight also heavily contributes to the intensity and full-bodied educational experience of the event.” Port said that she and her cochair have been working to bring awareness about the Holocaust to various groups on campus. “I reached out to the business fraternities who were not involved last year, and we’ve reached out to community service fraternities,” Port said. “Every year, we reach out to different groups so that people get involved.”

TELEVISION REVIEW
Netfix’s latest is an unbreakable joy BY ANNA MAE LUDLUM The Daily Wildcat
Kidnappings, a religious cult and arrested psychological development are wrapped up in a banana yellow sweater and light-up sneakers in Netflix’s new breakout show. Released in 13 binge-ready episodes on March 6, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” is the creation of “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” writing alums Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. It features their signature stereotypical characters who are simultaneously shown to be unique when compared to the rest of society. Kimmy Schmidt, played by rising star Ellie Kemper, has already been compared to comedy legend Lucille Ball. Kemper, with her wide smile, is delightful to watch from frame one and has proven she should no longer be relegated to supporting roles. For 15 years, Kimmy lived beneath a bunker in Indiana with three other women — all kidnapped by the Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (John Hamm) — who were brainwashed to believe the apocalypse turned the Earth into a fiery domain. The scripture he taught included the holy Gosh and his son Jeepers, who had his moped stolen by his brother, Terry. Similar to the women of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints led by imprisoned, self-proclaimed prophet Warren Jeffs, Kimmy and her bunker mates wear pastelcolored prairie dresses and speak sweetly with Midwestern accents, calling one another “sister.” Though brainwashed and only

having a partial, middle-school education, Kimmy isn’t pathetic. She proves that in innocence there is strength, resilience and a rebellious spirit. She is a tenderhearted nonconformist who never stopped pushing the Reverend’s buttons during flashbacks to her bunker years. If this sounds like a Lifetime original movie, it isn’t. The sharp and witty series has Tina Fey’s comedic fingerprints all over it.
Sure, Kimmy has night terrors and once awoke in the shower cleaning a knife, but honestly, it is hilarious. Kimmy’s breaking-news rescue becomes an auto-tuned viral video that lands her and the other media-nicknamed “mole women” on the “Today Show” for ambush makeovers. One Spanish speaking “mole woman” is called out for never learning English, despite the three others never learning Spanish, in one of many purposeful examples
of racial discrepancies. Kimmy stays in New York seeking an identity separate from her “mole woman” status. She moves into a basement apartment with unemployed fame-seeker Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess), who tries his best to steer Kimmy away from ’80s and ’90s phrases such as “Hammertime!” Experiencing adulthood with the social awareness of a 14-yearold, Kimmy experiences her first
kiss, her first boyfriend and her first realization that teacher tenure isn’t really beneficial for students. The show not only centers on Kimmy but on her roommate. Kimmy finds a confidant in Titus, who guides her, claims to have written Katy Perry’s “Firework” for Kimmy’s birthday and easily steals each scene he is in. Escaping his small-town southern upbringing to make it on Broadway, Titus is now paid in quarters to wear a quasi-Iron Man costume in Manhattan. In “Kimmy Is Bad At Math!,” Titus gets employed as a werewolf, only to find his interactions with others is absurdly more pleasant costumed than living as a gay black man. His pursuit of show business, thankfully, hasn’t waned, or else his original song “Pinot Noir” would never become the song you never knew you needed. The series features “30 Rock” actress Jane Krakowski as socialite Jacqueline Voorhees, who employs Kimmy as her help. Jacqueline has a secret past, having abandoned her Lakota upbringing, but like Kimmy and Titus, she can’t deny the creeping presence of her secret life. Though many storylines were wrapped up in the season finale, many more were set up, including Titus’ unfortunate viral shame and his abandoned wife. Season two is set to release on Netflix in March 2016 and will certainly be “a fascinating transition. Dammit!”

No need for a Modest Mouse no longer 007 degree to strangers with new album work for the CIA
ALBUM REVIEW
BY VICTORIA PEREIRA The Daily Wildcat
BY KAITLIN LIBBY
The Daily Wildcat
On March 17, Modest Mouse released its sixth studio album, the first to be released in eight years. Fans heard glimpses of some of the songs on Strangers to Ourselves before the release date at live shows, as was the case with “Lampshades on Fire.” Given the length of time between Strangers to Ourselves and Modest Mouse’s last album, We Were Dead Before the Ship even Sank, it’s tempting to wonder how the band’s style might’ve changed in that time. The single for the album, “Lampshades on Fire,” is musically similar to an earlier album, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, particularly in the refrain of “World at Large.” But it is clear even in this first song that what Modest Mouse intends to do with Strangers to Ourselves is expand upon its earlier themes, not merely repeat them. While similar to previous songs, “Lampshades on Fire” thematically expresses emotions that encapsulate The evolution from addressing all of Good News. people’s choices to the consequences The album floated between of their actions can be heard in the melancholy and muted anger, and last half of “Lampshades on Fire”: “Lampshades on Fire” expresses “Hair’s on fire, so we’re moving out. the subtly in its lyrics, moving from Better find another one, ’cause this one party to the next with no regard one’s done.

were musically evolving and experimenting,” Ekstrom said, “which is exciting for fans who like the sound of their earlier albums but don’t want to hear the same sounds repeated over again.” He also pointed this out by comparing the new Modest Mouse tunes to Artic Monkeys’ stylistic change in their most recent album, AM. Even as its musical style and motifs evolve and change, Modest Mouse retains the same spirit it had in 1997. The Lonesome Crowded West, its second album released, contains many themes relating to the desert. “It’s really awesome that Modest Mouse can use desert western themes, like in ‘Cowboy Dan,’ while being from Washington,” Ekstrom said, “because it makes their music so relatable for [us] desert rats.” This is evident in Strangers to Ourselves in not only the early releases “Coyotes” and “The Best Room”; the album cover is an overhead picture of some housing development in Sun City, Ariz. Strangers to Ourselves is but one part of a double album to be released as soon as “legally allowed,” as frontman Isaac Brock put it. Give Strangers to Ourselves a listen; this desert rat wasn’t disappointed.

The Central Intelligence Agency is dedicated to the collection, analysis and protection of foreign intelligence, and its looking for some new recruits. Two CIA representatives, one an IT Project Manager and the other a National Clandestine Service Officer, visited the UA on Tuesday to talk to interested students about the many occupations available in one of the largest and most advanced intelligence-collecting organizations in the world. Students majoring in everything from foreign language to psychology to architecture can find a job that matches their skills and interests. “I always say it’s A to Z,” the NCS officer said. “From anthropology to zoology and everything in-between.” The CIA has over 100 different types of positions in a number of departments. Job opportunities at the organization’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., are extremely diverse, and the CIA is looking for people with varying skill sets to make up its team. For those majoring in an applied science or the engineering field, the Directorate of Science and Technology is always looking for intelligent, driven people. Job descriptions range from developing new technology to be used by overseas officers, to researching and improving surveillance methods in foreign countries. Materials analyst, data scientist, and research scientist are just a few occupations listed geared toward applicants in the science, engineering and technology group. Another large part of the CIA workforce is composed of analysts. As part of the Directorate of Intelligence, these officers analyze information collected by overseas officers, interpret this information and write about it. Their work goes to the various policymakers in the U.S. government, including the president, who receives a briefing each day about the agency’s research. These people are tasked with finding the pieces of the story that aren’t featured in the paper or on the nightly news and come from
diverse academic backgrounds. Each analyst specializes in a certain field; there are economic, military, counterterrorism and political concentrations, to name a handful. Since the different positions vary widely, the main things the DI is looking for in applicants are strong critical thinking and writing skills. The CIA is known throughout the media world as a top-secret government organization that employs spies to defeat foreign threats. While the secretive aspect holds true, the overseas officers in the CIA don’t exactly go on the same missions that James Bond does. That isn’t to say these officers have unexciting jobs. National Clandestine Service officers collect foreign intelligence while protecting classified U.S. activities and information in countries all over the world. To be an NCS overseas officer, one must be able to live abroad, handle crisis situations and have excellent communication skills. Foreign languages are usually helpful and sometimes required, but any and every college major can be an officer abroad if they are dedicated to the profession. Despite its notoriety, the CIA is a business just like any other at its core. For jobs that don’t quite fall into the previous categories, there is the Directorate of Support. From real estate agents to accountants to security officers, these people are the employees who keep the CIA up and running and without whom the agency would be unable to function.

Bisexual stereotypes need to go bi bi bi BY NICK HAVEY
The Daily Wildcat
H
ollywood has been slowly coming out in a big way with greater acceptance of lesbian, gay and transgender individuals in television and film. With shows such as “Orange is the New Black” and “Transparent,” LGTQ stories are being voiced at a greater volume — but where is the “B”? Why is bisexuality shied away from or, at best, vaguely alluded to? If you haven’t caught up on the third season of “House of Cards,” you’re missing out. (You should also stop reading now to avoid spoilers.) Not only was this season more stressful and better than before, it also furthered the plot line on Frank Underwood’s probable bisexuality. Although the internet was inundated with a deluge of “Is Frank Underwood gay?” think pieces after the events at his alma mater, and again during the infamous threesome with Meechum, season three seemed focused on explicitly developing a plot that pointed to his bisexuality with a storyline in which Frank has an emotional, but not sexual, relationship with another man. The show, which has some Shakespearean parallels, also draws on medieval England’s nuanced views on sexuality. While the Underwoods play a mean Team Macbeth, plotting to kill their king, the nuance surrounding Frank’s sexuality is reminiscent of a time when it was just understood that men and women could like other men and women. It’s strange, then, to think that in the hundreds of years that have passed, that concept has become incredibly taboo. There are abundant cases of bisexual erasure. A simple Google search of the phrase “gay men who married women” results in hundreds of articles and listicles citing “gay” men who have had healthy, long-term relationships with women at some point in their lives. Nowhere is it considered that these men might be bisexual. In one case, actual and definite bisexual Alan Cumming was listed in one of these articles. That’s like listing in an article about celebrities who you might be surprised to learn are black, someone who explicitly says he’s not. Similarly, Alan Cumming isn’t gay, and he’s explicitly said so. Even in “Orange is the New Black,” where the main character, Piper, has relationships with both men and women, the people she dates often worry aloud whether she will “go back” to being straight or gay and thus leave them. In their thirst for representation in media, bisexual people often turn to “shipping” characters in television or movies. Shipping refers to audiences wanting characters who are not together or aligned romantically in canon to get together. One prominent example of this is in Nickelodeon’s “The Legend of Korra.” In the very adult show marketed to kids, female main characters Korra and Asami are one of the main “ships” often discussed online; their “ship name” is referred to as Korrasami. On separate occasions, both have previously been in a relationship with another character, Mako — establishing that they have feelings for men. However, in the series finale, Korra and Asami are depicted ending the show together, embarking on a journey hand in hand with definite romantic implications. It happened: Nickelodeon has bisexual representation in a cartoon. Not only did the creators openly confirm that the ending was intended — and Korrasami shippers aren’t just reading too much between the lines — a ton of artwork has been created and sold to benefit LGBTQ suicide prevention. This is important. Shows such as “Legend of Korra” and “House of Cards” are important. Creating spaces where bisexual people, and others, can see bisexual people’s lives being represented rather than being explained away is important. Hopefully, the success of shows that have taken this bold step will inspire other showrunners to embrace a little sexual diversity, rather than just play it straight.

No amount of respectability will prevent racist attitudes BY JESSICA TERRONES The Daily Wildcat
A
nother incident involving a young African-American man being severely injured due to police brutality occurred over spring break, on St. Patrick’s Day. It seems as if these stories come right after the other these days, but this particular case is different than most, considering the young man who was injured (not killed, for once) was actually quite “different” from others who have made headlines, such as Michael Brown or Eric Garner. The young man, Martese Johnson, is a University of Virginia junior studying Italian and Media Studies. Johnson is also a member of UVA’s Honors Committee and the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Surprisingly, Johnson is one of the first young black men we’ve seen in these incidents who hasn’t been portrayed in the media as a “thug” or “criminal.” Johnson, who was trying to get into an Irish Pub on St. Patrick’s Day evening, was denied access due to the bar manager assuming he was using a fake ID. (It was later discovered that the ID Johnson provided was real.) After being turned away, Johnson simply put his ID away and walked on, leaving the pub. Just moments later, the Department
of Alcohol Beverage Control officers had immediately handcuffed and detained Johnson, causing him to fall to the ground and bash his head on the concrete, at which point he began to bleed severely. He was arrested for “public intoxication and obstruction.” Images portray Johnson being held down by the officers as his face is gushing blood. The officers never eased up or helped Johnson with his severe face and body injuries, which resulted in 10 stitches. The pub owner put out a statement claiming that Johnson didn’t appear to be under the influence at all, which then brings up the question of why these ABC officers claimed otherwise. Even still, if Johnson were to be publicly intoxicated or defiant, is an injury resulting in 10 stitches to the head really necessary in such a circumstance? What if he was white? The problem in this case wasn’t about a young man being publicly intoxicated or obstructive. After all, how many cases have you heard about a minor using a fake ID or someone being publicly intoxicated that resulted in stitches? No, this is clearly a case of racism, where Johnson was read by the officers as being inherently dangerous, despite evidence to the contrary. Tani D. Sanchez, associate professor of Africana studies, said Johnson’s case is “not surprising. It represents part of [a] larger systemic issue that dates back to the foundations of America and to its political,
social and legal history.” It is astonishing how even black people who are doing the “right” things and getting college educations are still subject to racism and discrimination. First, African-American victims of police brutality are discriminated against by being immediately stereotyped as “thugs,” as in the cases of Brown and Trayvon Martin. Now, we have a young man who is ambitious and intelligent, doing what is “right” by society, presenting himself in a way that absolutely cannot be construed as “thuggish,” and even he cannot escape racism and the fate of black men who come into contact with the police. “While it is satisfying to know that some of the past has changed, a look at economic, enforcement and other statistics show the outcomes and consequences of our history are still with us,” Sanchez said. She added that believing racism doesn’t exist is denying that “corporate racism, housing discrimination and being followed in stores doesn’t exist.” Many are convinced the stories running in the media aren’t any different from reports on white criminals’ encounters with police. But stories like Johnson’s aren’t about criminals, but rather young, unarmed men being subjected to police brutality — with their health, dignity and, at times, lives taken as a result. — Jessica Terrones is a journalism freshman.

American colleges need to be free BY MARTIN FORSTROM
The Daily Wildcat
I
n most of the developed world, quality public higher education is considered a right of citizenship — or even, as in Germany, all of Scandinavia and much of the rest of the world’s richest countries, a human right. This means that international students can also access it for free, alongside native citizens. The model of free tuition and, in some cases, room and board represents a core, fundamental element of the national characters, missions and economies of some of the most highly developed, happiest countries on earth. Austerity policies have seen some countries with previously nominal or nonexistent college fees, such as the U.K., Australia and Canada, increase tuition fees. Still, the fees in these countries pale in comparison to the cost of American universities. It is not an issue of quality. Many public and for-profit
American universities cost more than Cambridge, Oxford, McGill University or the University of Toronto, let alone private schools that generally cost over $60,000 yearly with room and board or the mediocre and supposedly cheap for-profit colleges. For-profit schools have been criticized for preying on veterans for their G.I. Bill benefits in exchange for the privilege of attending a substandard school from which they will almost certainly fail to graduate. For-profit colleges are collecting a disproportionate amount of money in the silly system of grants and loans by which we ineffectively try to expand access to college for working- and middle-class students. This is profoundly important because, contrary to popular belief, the problem isn’t that the U.S. doesn’t have the money for free college. That money is there — we’re already spending it. A report from the State Higher Education Executive Officers found that the combined tuition revenue of all public universities and community colleges in fiscal year 2013 was $61.8 billion. Meanwhile,

according to the New America Foundation, Washington currently dedicates $67.7 billion to grants, education tax breaks and workstudy money. In short, as Jordan Weissmann recently wrote in Slate, “If you took the money out of the private sector and put back it into the public sector, it could cover all of today’s undergrads, and then some.” Screw the private sector. If it wants to survive, it should figure out how to compete with the tuition-free public universities that our country needs and could so easily have. Germany recently tried implementing small university fees of about $630 per semester, but the population largely found it to be unjust and unfair to students from poor and working-class backgrounds, not to mention bad economic policy. Fees were quickly abandoned state by state, with Lower Saxony abolishing the last remaining fees late last year. Likewise, in Chile, massive student protests rocked that country for nearly half a decade in protest of its privatized education system. Chile’s Minister of Interior, Rodrigo Peñailillo, according to
TeleSUR, has announced that the country will implement free tertiary education by 2016. If Chile has the resources, surely the U.S. does, too. The only activism on college campuses these days about which one hears are campaigns to institute more trigger warnings and safe spaces and cancel speeches by controversial figures. American college students should be getting outraged about the cost of education. No issue affects us more than the $1.2 trillion we owe in student loans. It is ruining young peoples’ lives. It is ruining the housing and automobile markets, as millennials can no longer afford these luxuries. If it takes years of massive protests and strikes, as it did for Chilean students, so be it. Literally nothing is more important for students and the country as a whole — or for reclaiming the meritocratic nature of the American dream.

POLICE BEAT BY AMBER WHITE
The Daily Wildcat
Lane bouncer
A non-UA-affiliated individual was driving a blue Ford Taurus on top of the lane dividers between the No. 2 lane and the No. 3 lane on Feb. 27 at 2:12 a.m. The woman was driving eastbound on Speedway Boulevard approaching Cherry Avenue. The woman’s license plate had an M.I. suspension on it when the officer looked it up. A University of Arizona Police Department officer made contact with the woman, explained his reason for stopping her and asked for her driver’s license, registration and insurance. The officer found her license was suspended. She said she did not know why her license was suspended but said she believed it was because of a ticket she received prior to this stop. The officer said her vehicle was going to be impounded for 30 days due to the suspension. The officer took inventory of the vehicle while waiting for the tow truck. The individual gave him the key to her vehicle, and it was towed by Tucson Wrecker Pool to 1926 W. Price St. The woman was cited and released for driving with a suspended license and plate.

A UA student was struggling to maintain his balance on the southwest corner of Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall on March 6 at 1:30 a.m. A UAPD officer was driving on Highland Avenue when he saw the man being held upright by three women. When the student saw the two officers approaching him in the vehicle, he started running northbound on the sidewalk. He was stopped by an officer at the west entrance of Colonia de la Paz. The officer observed the man swaying from side to side and was concerned he would fall over. The student had red watery, bloodshot eyes, a flushed face, unkempt clothing and had a strong smell of intoxicants coming from his body and breath, according to the officer. The student attempted to walk away from the scene and go into the residence hall, but the officer grabbed the man and handcuffed him behind his back, because of his suspicion the man was drinking underage. While in police custody, the officer noticed a laceration on the bridge of the man’s nose. He told the officer that someone punched him, but the officer who chased him down earlier spoke with a passerby that said he had fallen over while attempting to jump over a wall. The intoxicated student was given his Miranda rights. He claimed to have drunk two Bud Light beers but could not remember where he had consumed the alcohol. The Tucson Fire Department said he did not need further medical attention after evaluating him. The student was arrested on charges of being under the age of 21 with spirituous liquor in body. He refused to sign a promise to appear in court. He was transported to Pima County Jail and was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation.

he 1980 film “Field of Dreams” featured the famous line, “If you build it, he will come,” and something similar applies to college basketball. If you schedule Arizona, they will come. Having been blessed enough to travel to El Paso, Texas, Las Vegas, Nev., twice, Tempe, Salt Lake City, Utah, Portland, Ore., and the Pac12 Conference tournament and NCAA Tournament, I can tell you that Arizona men’s basketball fans certainly travel well. CBS Sports analyst Doug Gottlieb puzzled many on Selection Sunday when he said Arizona playing in the second and third rounds in Portland, Ore., was a “virtual home game.” Those who are well versed in the ways of geography (or know how to use Google Maps) know that Portland is almost 1,500 miles from Tucson and about a 22-hour drive. Of course, people on Twitter joked about it, but the funny thing is, Gottlieb was right. Although Eastern Washington and Utah are closer to Portland, and the Utes were making their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2009, Arizona fans outnumbered everyone in the Moda Center and in Portland. Even outside of the Northwest, Arizona dominated the old Rose Garden. On Saturday, the Moda Center’s Twitter account asked, “Which red team do you think will win?,” and Arizona got about five times as many votes as Ohio State. This came a week after Arizona fans flooded Las Vegas for the Pac-

Arizona heads to 29th Arizona back on straight NCAA regional track in big way
BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona gymnastics made history on Monday by qualifying for its 29th consecutive regional competition. The Wildcats finished the regular season with a 10-4-1 record and a team RQS score of 196.445. “This is our 29th straight year, which is a department record and makes us very proud that we keep that going,” Arizona gymnastics coach Bill Ryden said. The No. 18 GymCats will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to compete against No. 6 Michigan, No. 7 UCLA, No. 21 Central Michigan, Kentucky and Ohio State on April 4. Arizona will hold the No. 3 seed in the regional. Michigan has qualified for the NCAA Championships 21 times and is averaging a team score of 197.143. UCLA has won 20 NCAA regional titles and is averaging a team score of 196.768. Central Michigan averages 195.110 this season and has made the regional competition for the 12th straight season. Ohio State will be making its 37th NCAA regional appearance and average 195.169. Kentucky earns its 11th straight NCAA regional berth and its 27th appearance, averaging 195.468. The road to the championship will be a difficult one for the Wildcats. The championship bracket consists of 36 teams and 30 all-around competitors. A total of 12 teams will advance to the national championships. Arizona will be without its senior leader and captain Allie Flores. “We can’t take that lightly, because there are so many good teams in the country, and now we are down to 36 and everybody else is gone,” Ryden said. “The Columbus regional is obviously going to be a very high level of gymnastics, but I feel good about what we’ll do and feel very confident about how this team competes.” One of the teams the Wildcats will have the opportunity to compete against is one they know quite well.

season, and the two teams share a close connection. UCLA gymnast Jordan Williams competed for Arizona for three years before transferring due to an injury. “No different than it’s been before,” Ryden said. “We’re a performance sport, so there’s no offense; there’s no defense. It’s not about who’s on their team or our team; we just have to do our job. For this team, they haven’t been fazed by anyone or anybody, that’s for sure.” Adversity and overcoming challenges has been the story of the GymCats’ season. When one gymnast goes down, the next one steps up and takes her place. Just take a look at freshman Madison Cindric. She was forced into allaround competition after Flores’ injury. But the real story is how well she has performed in the role. In just her first-ever NCAA collegiate appearance in the all-around competition and on the uneven bars, she nailed a 9.950 routine. “It’s awesome to compete
in all-around as a freshman,” Cindric said. “I just knew that I had to do what the team needed and step up since what happened to Allie and just do the best I could for the team.” Also stepping up late in the season is junior Jessie Sisler, who is coming off a 9.950 floor performance that won her a share of the Pac-12 Conference Floor Championship. The feat was made more impressive as she tied with an Olympian, UCLA’s Samantha Peszek, and Utah’s 10-time All-American, Georgia Dabritz. “We really don’t care because the ceiling on the scores are 10.0, and we can do 10.0 gymnastics,” Ryden said. “This is not about the resume. This is about the routine and the moment, and we can do just as good gymnastics as anybody else in that meet.”

fter struggling to score against top nonconference opponents earlier this month, there was reason to be concerned that Arizona softball’s offense might take a step back from past years. A group that has broken all sorts of NCAA scoring records failed to do any damage against highly ranked teams like Florida, Baylor and Auburn. Those three top-25 schools held the Wildcats to a total of three runs. But, over the past two weeks, it looks like No. 17 Arizona is returning to its explosive ways at the plate. In the last six games, the UA is averaging around 10 runs and has knocked out 14 homers in a single game. Over the weekend, Arizona put on a hitting clinic at New Mexico State, where the Wildcats swept a two-game series 14-2 (five innings) and 11-6 (eight innings). The extra-inning win was a perfect example of the UA’s offense coming up with clutch and timely hits, as Arizona had to battle from a four-run, seventh inning deficit. Small-ball allowed the Wildcats to put runners in scoring position before Chelsea Goodacre and Trish Parks delivered key two-out hits. In the eighth inning, Arizona’s top power hitter Katiyana Mauga hit her 13th homer of the season to seal the lead. The dramatic comeback overshadowed the earlier win against the Aggies, in which Goodacre hit three homers and drove in five runs. Arizona’s two victories signified everything that can go right when the UA receives production from everyone in the order.

SAND VOLLEYBALL
’Cats continue to make strides BY JORDYN OWEN The Daily Wildcat

rizona sand volleyball is already making a name for itself in the sand volleyball community in just its second year as a program. The Wildcats started off their second season ranked 16th in the first-ever DiG Collegiate Sand Volleyball Poll. In the three weeks since their season began, the Wildcats have climbed the ranks to the 11th spot while remaining undefeated. The success of this Arizona team has a lot to do with the recruiting of athletes solely dedicated to sand volleyball, as opposed to last year’s roster, which was made up of mostly athletes competing in both indoor and sand volleyball. This season, only four of the 14 athletes on the roster compete in both indoor and sand volleyball for the Wildcats. Arizona coach Steve Walker has done a phenomenal job bringing

in McKale Center the last two seasons and have won 38 straight homes games. Then, the UA went 3-0 in Las Vegas with considerable support this season, begging the question: Should those wins be added to the home winning streak? “We have one of the great home courts in the country, and they made Vegas our home court here for three days,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said after the Pac-12 Championship Game. Arizona so thoroughly took over Las Vegas, there were signs that said “McKale North” and “McKale Northwest.” But based on location, and with so many people, wasn’t Portland more like “McKale Northwest?” It should probably be simplified. How about calling the MGM Grand Garden Arena “McKale March” and whatever stadiums Arizona fans invade “McKale (city names)?” However, to channel another movie, “There’s no place like
talented athletes to the program, some of which include Arizona’s No. 1 pair of Kaitlyn Leary and Madi Kingdon. This is in addition to partners and twin sisters Madison and McKenna Witt, who are in their second year with the program and made up half of last year’s sand-only athletes. Leary comes from an indoor volleyball background, previously playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes before coming to Arizona this year to join the sand volleyball program. Transitioning from indoor volleyball to sand volleyball is a huge challenge; as Leary said, they are two entirely different games. Luckily for the Wildcats, Leary seems to be transitioning just fine. Kingdon is in her second season with the sand volleyball team but played four years with the Wildcats as an indoor volleyball player. Although Kingdon is a multi-sport athlete, she has the talent and dedication is required to succeed in both sports. The Kingdon/Leary duo has helped the Wildcats dominate their competition so far this season.
home.” While Arizona fans were plentiful in Las Vegas (at UNLV, too) and Portland, and had surprisingly good representation at UTEP and Utah, they weren’t quite up to par with the McKale Center faithful. The fans at the Pac-12 tournament and the Big Dance, especially in Portland, were more reactionary: cheering for good plays but generally being quiet before them. McKale Center enthusiasts will sense the Wildcats need a little boost when an opponent goes on a run, something that’s been mostly absent the last couple of weeks. Thankfully for Arizona fans, they have another chance this weekend to recapture the McKale Center magic. Wisconsin, North Carolina and Xavier aren’t in reasonable driving distance to Hollywood. So, let’s see if Arizona fans can make the Staples Center “McKale LA.”

The pair even took home the victory at the recent Cal Poly Pairs Tournament after winning a close championship match over the Witt twins (21-17, 17-21, 18-16). Another athlete making the switch to sand from indoor is Emily Kiser, who played both indoor volleyball and sand volleyball for the Wildcats last year after transferring from Sacramento State. This season, Kiser has decided to become solely dedicated to sand in her final year of eligibility, and she has already played a role in the Wildcats’ success while aiding in the sweep of Concordia last week, alongside partner Olivia Macdonald, to win 21-12, 21-10. Having a roster of mainly sand-only athletes has clearly benefitted Arizona, which is 6-0 so far this season. Walker, as well as his athletes, agree that having a nearly full roster during fall practice has been a huge contributor to their success this spring. SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT
ARIZONA SAND volleyball player Kaitlyn Leary (13) sets up to tip the ball over the net during Arizona’s 5-0 win against Tulane at Jimenez Field on March 7. Leary and the Wildcats have climbed to a top-10 ranking in just the program’s second year.

SOFTBALL FROM PAGE 6
By Arizona coach Mike Candrea’s design, the Wildcats have a lineup mixed with sluggers (Mauga and Goodacre) as well as contact-hitters like Hallie Wilson and Lauren Young who set up rallies. But only until recently has the lineup worked the way Candrea wants it. Now, Arizona hopes to seep in the fruition. The UA currently ranks fifth in the country with a .370 batting average. To give that mark some context, as of now it stands as the highest team batting average since 1998. Arizona also boasts a slugging percentage ranked No. 13 nationally and is 20th in the country with 1.35 homers per game. While that’s quite not as dominant as the offense of last season, those are the kind of numbers the Wildcats need if they want to stay in the hunt for a Pac-12 Conference title and
compete for a national seed. The grind of conference play picks up this weekend when Arizona hosts nationally ranked ASU for a three-game series. In the coming weeks, the Wildcats will also face Pac-12 powers like Oregon, Washington and UCLA. The boost in competition inevitably means tougher matchups at the plate. With a young pitching staff still settling in, Arizona’s offense has to produce enough runs to keep the team in high scoring affairs. This isn’t a team that can rest on 1-0 or 2-1 scores. If the Wildcats are going to make the Pac-12 championship and end their College World Series drought, it will be with consistent SALLY LUGO/THE DAILY WILDCAT production from top to bottom ARIZONA softball utility Katiyana Mauga of the order.
