Nationally, there has been a change in the demographics of people who wish to attend university, and the UA is responding to this trend by launching UA Online.

UA Online would provide a web-based university experience that would allow students to enroll in online degree programs.

“As our economy continues

to demand increased skills that only an advanced degree or certificate can provide, more adult learners will want to have access to the best institutions of higher learning, such as the UA,” said Vincent Del Casino Jr., vice provost for Digital Learning and Student Engagement.

The UA Online campus hopes to recruit approximately 3,500 students, including 2,700 graduate and 800 undergraduate students, in its first year.

The rapid enrollment rate in UA Online reflects an increase in the popularity of online courses. Christopher Impey, a UA professor for the College of Science, currently teaches two online courses with more than 40,000 students. “[UA Online] wants to create learner communities so people feel connected with the other students and see connections between subjects they study,” Impey said.

Rillito Park Racetrack was home to the seventh annual “Happy Minute” memorial race for deceased UA alumnus Pete Selin on Saturday.

The seventh horse race of the day was dedicated to Selin, a UA graduate of the Race Track Industry Program.

On Jan. 27, 2006, Selin passed away due to chronic leukemia. A year later, three of his former classmates set up the “Happy Minute” memorial in his honor.

Richard Scheidt, Scot Waterman and Michael Costanzo wanted to honor him, according to Douglas Reed, director of the RTIP. Rillito Park has reopened this year, after a brief stint being closed. A group of local businessmen started a nonprofit to secure the track and prevent it from being demolished.

The group secured a year contract with Pima County, which has just been extended, according to Mike Weiss, general manager at Rillito Park and a UA alumnus.

Selin was a “second career” student, older than the rest of the freshmen attending UA. He used his degree to become a turf writer at several racetracks around the country.

“He had a passion for horse racing,” Reed said.

Agriculture Center ‘foal’ of horses The Daily Wildcat

A baby horse throws her head and stretches her spindly legs. Her mother has moved a few yards away, in search of green grasses to munch on. The foal awkwardly trots to her mother’s side, still getting used to the sensation of walking. The foal’s birth place? The UA. For the first time, the UA-affiliated Tucson Area Agricultural Centers are now home to 20 Arabian broodmares — female horses kept for bearing baby horses, called foals — as part of its Equine Center. This was made possible by Ruth “Bazy” Tankersley, who passed away in 2013, leaving the UA her Al-Marah Horse Farm in East Tucson. So far, the Agricultural Center, also known as “the farm,” has seven Arabian foals, an expensive and sought-after breed, with three more on the way by the end of May. According to her memorial in Modern Arabian Horse Magazine, Tankersley was born in 1921 and grew up in New Mexico, where she picked up her mother’s love of Arabian horses. Her breeding program grew into the largest and best recognized program in the United States, which she relocated to Tucson in the 1970s.

What makes the horses even more unique is that they come from the prestigious Crabbet line of Arabians, one of the most famous Arabian pedigrees in the world.

“No discussion of Crabbet horses can be conducted without mentioning the role of Bazy Tankersley,” according to the Arabian Horse Association. “It would be fair to say, her [Tankersley] foundation stock set the standard for producing champion Arabian horses, and that legacy continues today.”

Kacee Adams, the barn manager at the Agricultural Center, said they sell the horses in order to “keep [their] doors open.”

The foals are born and raised at the Agricultural Center, and present a valuable teaching resource to students in the Equine Center. As the foals progress to yearlings, they are trained for a variety of tasks, all involving humans as handlers or riders.

“We focus on training them to work with humans,” said Shelby Young, a senior studying agricultural and life sciences. “It is a huge learning opportunity.”

The Arabian foals will be trained for competition in horse shows and most likely sold to private people who compete in a variety of different equine sports.

Tankersley’s endowment provided the center with

the opportunity to switch focuses.

“This is a first for us,” Adams said.

While the Equine Center is no stranger to the breeding of horses for market, it has never dealt with Arabians before. Previously, the center was geared toward producing thoroughbred horses, which are primarily used for horse racing. Why the switch?

“The thoroughbred market in Arizona isn’t as strong,” Adams said.

Years ago, the young thoroughbreds that came from the Agricultural Center were selling for around $7500, though recently would fetch prices closer to $1000, according to Adams. Part of this is due to the recession, though there are other factors as well.

Horse racing in other states is competitive with Arizona, due to differences in gaming laws. While slot machines and other forms of gambling are permitted in New Mexico, for example, they are illegal in Arizona. This greater draw, coupled with breeder subsidies, makes thoroughbred racing bigger in those states, which in turn makes the Al-Marah stables all the more important for the Equine Center and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences as a whole.

While the stables — and the horses — have just become available to the UA, the university doesn’t actually own the property quite yet.

“The official transfer hasn’t happened yet,” said Wendy Davis. “It could be the end of the week; it could be tomorrow.”

As for what the Al-Marah property would be used for, that is still under discussion. Committees have been formed with strategic planning in mind, coming up with the best allocation of the property to further the education of students in CALS, according to Davis.

This is a windfall for the Equine Center and something that Tankersley wanted to happen for some time. She had included this transfer in her estate planning some 15 years ago, Davis said.

“Her intention was not to sell it into development but to keep it an equine facility,” Davis said. “I think Mrs. T would be very pleased that they are being used for education.”

Students will get a chance to work with these prestigious bloodlines for years to come, helping to keep the Equine Center viable.

students who weren’t going home for Thanksgiving to his house for a turkey roast. That’s the kind of guy he was.”

While Rillito was a favorite hangout of his, Selin was also fond of the Buffet Bar and Crock Pot, Tucson’s oldest bar. The bar hosts a “Happy Minute” with drink specials that last a minute. It is for this reason that the memorial race was named, with the race originally set at six-and-a-half furlongs, which thoroughbred horses can run in about a minute at Rillito.

New management plans aim to keep the track open year-round, opening it up for use by other sports and activities. In addition to local races, Rillito simulcasts races from other tracks in the country, as well as soccer fields on the north side of the park.

One possible reason for a continuously high ranking, Beeson said, is the shift in focus toward a research-oriented program in the field at the same time that the UA shifted toward being a Research I Institution.

Kristina Valdez, a nutritional sciences sophomore, is one student who has enrolled in online courses at the UA. “The class I took was very beneficial to me,” Valdez said. “It pushed me to work harder, because it was on my own time.”

Valdez, who plans on being a pharmacist, said that her profession requires human interaction, and some online courses can be extremely difficult because of a lack of interaction between instructors and students.

Since the UA is a top-ranked public research university globally, Del Casino said it is important for the university to provide increased access to the UA’s programs.

Impey said he prefers to teach face-to-face, and although online classes are less hands-on, “online is here to stay, so I want to learn how to do it as well as possible. … More and more students have jobs and families, and they want and need the flexibility that online classes provide.”

For the RTIP, this is a valuable opportunity.

“They believed the community needed it, that Tucson needed it,” Weiss said.

He added that because of these close ties, the RTIP is able to use Rillito as a working lab for students.

“It’s a good experience,” said Francesca Le Donne, an animal sciences senior.

There are 15 to 20 students working at Rillito, fulfilling roles in every aspect of operating a race track. As time goes on, there will be even more interaction between Rillito and the RTIP. More students will be exposed to the exhilarating feeling of watching a live horse race. This memorial is both a way to remember Selin, and celebrate the sport he loved.

The history of UA’s powerful women BY jaime odom

Arizona-Sonora News Service

Arizona holds a long list of powerful women who not only impacted their communities but helped better the state and, in some cases, the entire country. Here’s some influential women from the past and some today, all in celebrations of Women’s History Month.

Louise Foucar Marshall

Louise Foucar Marshall changed the college classroom for the state of Arizona when she became the first female professor in 1900, according to UA Special Collections.

She taught in many fields — from botany to four different languages. After teaching at the UA for three years, she moved on to work in business and property development. Marshall created the first suburban shopping center in Tucson known as University Square just at the edge of campus, according to Special Collections. In 1930, Louis and her husband, Thomas, created the Marshall Foundation, the first private foundation in Arizona. The foundation was created to provide scholarships for women hoping to attend college. According to the Marshall Foundation, nearly half of the donations made are to the UA primarily for student scholarship programs.

UA President Ann Weaver Hart

President Ann Weaver Hart is making history at the UA as she is currently the first female president the school has ever inaugurated.

Hart, a Utah native, had previously been president at Temple University and the University of New Hampshire, as well a vice president for Claremont Graduate University, according to information provided by the president’s office. She also spent time at her alma mater, the University of Utah, as a teacher,

dean and assistant to the president.

Since Hart’s inauguration in 2012, she has implemented her strategic plan of “Never Settle.” According to the UA, this plan holds the manifesto that the university will continue to develop and explore all the areas it is capable of. Through this plan, Hart and the University of Arizona Foundation launched the Arizona Now campaign with the hope of raising $1.5 billion to better the university. According to the Arizona Now Campaign website, the donations have reached $1.168 billion as of Feb. 27.

Beyond Hart’s efforts to improve, she holds active positions in the community, as she hold over 12 member positions with organizations such as Southern Arizona Leadership Council,

Arizona State Board of Education and the Tucson Festival of Books, according to the president’s office.

Dr. Nancy Sweitzer, director of Sarver Heart Center

Dr. Nancy Sweitzer, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Cardiology at the UA College of Medicine — Tucson, has made impactful strides in the field of medicine as well as the empowerment of women.

Sweitzer, a Wisconsin native, joined the UA Sarver Heart Center in 2014 and has since taken her passion for research, education and medicine to further develop the already nationally recognized Banner University

Medical Center.

“I am building a clinical research core at the Sarver Heart Center, available to all our doctors and researchers, which will help us work together to pursue important advances in cardiovascular care,” she said.

As the first woman director the Sarver Heart Center has seen, Switzer recognizes the power and potential she has to build on a legacy for women in the field of medicine.

“I hope in my role to show what is possible and encourage young, ambitious women to be deliberate and thoughtful in their career development,” Sweitzer said.

AZ Legislature make last call for bills

BY Ethan mcsweeney

Arizona-Sonora News Service

PHOENIX — The Legislature is well into the homestretch with the goal to wrap up the session before Easter still in its sights. This led to busy days and long nights at the Capitol this week.

Last call for bills

The House and Senate Appropriations committees were the only committees to hold regular meetings this week. This opened many of the bills being heard to strike everything amendments to revive legislation previously killed in the Legislature.

This included legislation to bar most from collecting early ballots for elections, which lost a vote last week in the House Elections Committee. The House Appropriations Committee, however, approved this bill and others in a meeting that started at 9 a.m. and continued after the floor session into the early morning hours.

Sen. Don Shooter, R-Yuma, and other Republicans argue that prohibiting most people from collecting early ballots to take them to polling centers prevents “ballot harvesting” and potential voter fraud. Democrats disagreed, saying the problem of voter fraud is virtually nonexistent and called the bill an attempt at voter suppression.

House Appropriations also managed to squeeze through a bill making Arizona IDs compliant with federal Real ID standards.

Arizonans may find themselves turned away from airports and federal buildings by next year when the standards are set to go into effect.

The cats also came back for another life with legislation removing the minimum period pounds are mandated to hold stray cats. The bill died on the House floor last week when

some members argued that it would harm bird populations by proliferating feral cats.

Abortion reversals approved

Following lengthy floor debate and a lengthier delay in taking up the bill, the House voted to approve an abortion regulation bill which mandates doctors inform women seeking abortions that they can be “reversed.”

Senate Bill 1318 prohibits any health exchange operating in the state from providing coverage for abortions as well.

Republican Rep. Regina Cobb of Kingman led the charge during floor debate Monday against the abortion reversal information, which she called “non-evidence based medicine.” Others have also raised concerns that the abortion reversals lack medical evidence, which involves giving a woman progesterone to stop a medication abortion after RU-486 is taken.

“It’s only been out for a short period of time, and the studies are not yet out on this,” Cobb said. “What we don’t know is what we don’t know.”

Cobb then faced off with Rep. Kelly Townsend, R-Gilbert, who added the amendment with the abortion reversal provision, and other Republican colleagues, who argued that there is the potential to save life, so women should be informed of it.

“I believe the disclosure certainly falls with the scope of ethical practice,” said Rep. Eddie Farnsworth, R-Gilbert.

Rep. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, said forcing doctors to inform women of the abortion reversals could open them up to medical malpractice litigation. She, however, supported the bill when it came to a vote. Cobb, too, ended up voting in favor of the bill.

The bill went back to the Senate, which approved it with the abortion reversal provision on Wednesday. S.B. 1318 now awaits approval

from Gov. Doug Ducey.

Board of Education address

Ducey addressed the state Board of Education on Monday morning to lay out his education agenda. He reiterated his opposition to Common Core but did not call for a full repeal of the standards.

Instead, Ducey asked the board to consider reviewing the English and math standards to ensure they will serve students well.

“And in any instance during your review, you find situations where Arizona standards can outperform or improve our current standards, I ask you to recommend replacement immediately,” Ducey said.

At the end of last week, Ducey appointed five new members to the board including Arizona State University President Michael Crow to fill the public university president position on the board.

A bill repealing Common Core standards in the state cleared the Senate Education Committee last week. The Senate delayed hearing it on the floor this week.

Take me to church

Should we all be required to go to church on Sundays? Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, seemed to say as much during the Senate Appropriations meeting late Tuesday night.

While explaining her vote on a bill allowing guns in public buildings, Allen said the gun violence could be blamed on moral decline in the country related to religion being taken out of society.

“Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth,” she said.

On Wednesday, Allen rose on the Senate floor to explain the comments, saying she was

tired when she made them. Allen reminisced of the ’50s and ’60s when she said she and her friend could take a bus and go to the soda fountain and still feel safe.

“It was a different time,” she said. “I think it wouldn’t hurt if we went to church on Sundays to try to bring back this moral rebirth to our country.”

Bill update

The Legislature moved dozens of bills this week in its push to finish the session well ahead of its 100-day limit. Among them: — On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill shielding the names of law enforcement officers involved in deadly force incidents for 60 days, which now moves to Ducey’s desk. Opponents staged a protest outside the Executive Tower that afternoon, urging the governor to veto the bill.

— A bill designed to resolve a constitutional dispute between Ducey and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas failed in the House on Tuesday with a 17-38 vote. House Bill 2184 would clarify authority over members of the Board of Education and it will come back up for another vote on April 1.

— Ducey signed into law H.B. 2128, backed by the conservative Center for Arizona Policy, on Monday, which would give a property tax exemption to properties leased to religious institutions. Former Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a similar bill last year.

— While S.B. 1120, which would exempt out-of-state sales on fine art, died in the final House Appropriations Committee meeting, the exemption made it into S.B. 1133 and now goes back to the Senate. Scottsdale art gallery owners are pushing to eliminate the sales tax, which they say is driving away business.

Americans speak Arabic.

Get over it.

BY MADDY BYNES The Daily Wildcat

I

n the United States, most schools recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily.

But what happens when the pledge is said in a language that, for the past 14 years, has been associated with an enemy?

Those at a school in New York asked themselves a very similar question this month when they said the pledge in Arabic as part of National Foreign Language Week. This recitation resulted in a firestorm, led by the school’s own students and parents, and eventually to a public apology from the school.

Laura Ingraham, a right-wing commentator, compared saying the pledge in Arabic to allowing “skinheads” to say the pledge.

“How about we just celebrate our country?” Ingraham asked. “How about we just celebrate America? Here’s America, here’s our pledge, say it in English.”

But this is America, Ingraham. The school was celebrating our country.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 60 million Americans do not speak English at home. Detroit is a hub for native Arabic speakers in the U.S., according to The Atlantic. In fact, Arabic speakers have increased in the U.S. by 21.7 percent since 2013, according to CNS News — probably as a result of refugees and other people fleeing persecution.

The U.S. was where, in 1620, the Puritans landed at Plymouth to escape religious persecution from an English society that thought they were too radical. From 1880-1920, the U.S. became a home to over 20 million immigrants. These people spoke a multitude of languages and introduced various cultures to America. Without these people, New York wouldn’t have Chinatown, Little Italy, or Carnegie, Ben Ash and Katz’s Deli — a culinary tragedy.

At the turn of the 20th century, Irish, Catholic and Jewish people were treated in much the same way as Arabicspeaking people are today.

English is not the official language of the U.S., nor should it be. The U.S. is home to too many different cultures, and wishing for that to be otherwise is, frankly, un-American.

Sure, our majoritarian culture stresses English as a primary language. Students at the UA are required to take English 101 and 102, or 109H. However, English is not the only language worth speaking, and this belief is reflected in the policy requiring most Bachelor of Science students to study a language to the second semester and Bachelor of Arts students to the fourth.

It’s naive to think English is the only language that benefits the U.S. “The U.S. government has framed [Arabic] as a critical language to its security and has invested significant amounts of resources into Arabic language training programs,” said Tatiana Rabinovich, a UA graduate student and an Arab history instructor.

Knowledge of Arabic benefits the U.S. and should not be looked down upon.

However, Rabinovich said she also sees the lack of respect for Middle Eastern languages.

“Unfortunately, many Americans do not know the difference between Arabic, Persian and other Middle Eastern languages,” she said.

9/11 changed the American perspective of the Middle East. The actions of a few led to the discrimination of many.

Not only does Ingraham’s comments highlight the naivete of American citizens, but it goes to show that we are not always the best at bringing cultures together.

About 100 years ago, some of my ancestors would be told to stop speaking Yiddish, German or Russian, but today, Arabs and Latinos are asked to shed their languages and cultures to become more “American.”

Arabic is not an enemy language; many U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states also speak Arabic.

Arabic is the language of the Middle East (and the Islamic holy texts), and it belongs to the region and to all Muslims, not to extremism.

If people want to pledge allegiance to the flag in Arabic, let them. If that’s the language that makes sense to them, it’s better than reciting incomprehensible words without passion or meaning.

“One nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”

Lewinsky can teach us all a lesson about bullying media, gave voice to the voiceless. One of her examples, Tyler Clementi — a college student who killed himself after his roommate surreptitiously recorded him having intimate relations with another man — killed himself as a result of the public shaming and humiliation he faced both in-person and over social media.

The digitization of shame is not infrequent, either. Ever quick to jump on controversy and turn it into a made-for-TV movie or show, ABC Family produced “Cyberbully,” a movie focusing on the contemporary culture of teen shaming. The movie is believed to be partially based on the real-life story of Megan Meier. She was a teenager who committed suicide after another girl, the girl’s mother and the mother’s employee posed as a boy on social media, flirted with Meier and then scorned her.

Lewinsky pointed out the not-so-shocking correlation between cyberbullying and suicide, especially among teenagers, where suicide is the third leading cause of death. She noted she’s still surprised she is alive today.

As a nation, we’re the ones who should be ashamed. The shaming climate never stops: We have paparazzi, the #TheFappening (Sony leaks of celebrity nudes) and revenge porn websites. Each year, we are consuming media depicting the shame and humiliation of others, and we contribute to lining the

e’re lucky to live in the Information Age. With just one click, we can connect to the Internet and the vast wealth of knowledge and information that comes with that privilege — but there is a cost. For some, that ease of access is an egregious and exhausting exacerbation of problems they already have in their offline lives due to the actions of others, namely in the form of bullying.

The most notable victim of what we have since dubbed “cyberbullying” is, of course, Monica Lewinsky, more commonly known as “That Woman” or the girl under Bill Clinton’s desk.

In 1998, Lewinsky, then 22, fell in love with her boss. In not an unusual story of powerdynamics-meets-sexual-tension, the pair entered a sexual relationship. Unfortunately for Lewinsky, her boss happened to be the most powerful man in the world: the president of the United States.

Whether a lapse in judgment, a moment of weakness or just being 22 was to blame, no one deserves the public shame with which Lewinsky was bombarded.

Just last week, Lewinsky gave a powerful talk at the TED2015 conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her talk, which retold her struggle of being the first in a wave of people publicly humiliated and commoditized by the

pockets of those who are willing to sacrifice the mental health and lives of others for their own monetary benefit.

Although laws are being made to prevent the exposition of leaked nudes, such as those from Sony or from the Snapchat third-party leak last year, many others are advocating for their right to post naked pictures of their exes on the Internet for money. Society is cashing in on being an asshole.

I agree with Lewinsky that only compassion for others can prevent a rise in suicides and depression as a result of Internet shaming and bullying.

The Internet is here to stay. But even though your parents warned you about posting anything on your Myspace you didn’t want to stay on the Internet forever, there shouldn’t be an expectation of exploitation.

Lewinsky is a positive example of resiliency, but she is not the norm. We’ll never be able to stop the theft of intimate details or the subsequent exploitation of stolen materials, but we can and should refuse to participate in their consumption.

If we could all go back to kindergarten and treat others how we want to be treated, that’d be great.

Pulse of the Pac Students from elsewhere in the Pac-12 discuss college admissions and professional licensing exams “The right-college mindset,” Adam J. Garzoli [Obsessing] over getting admitted to and attending the right college is both unhealthy and unnecessary. Granted, for the majority of college applicants, this isn’t really a problem, or at least, it isn’t the most pressing one. But it’s enough of a problem that it needs to be addressed. Two issues come to mind.

First, something needs to be done about the rising number of applications per student. Back in 1972, only 7.1 percent of college freshmen surveyed by UCLA had applied to more than five colleges. By 2014, that number had jumped to 45.9 percent. …

In the United Kingdom, almost all undergraduate applications go through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, which limits applicants to five colleges. Extra choices are allowed for students with no offers of admission. By and large, the system seems to work fine — there doesn’t seem to be much pressure on UCAS to remove the cap. And acceptance rates at leading universities in the UK are generally not so intimidatingly low.

Second, binding early decision programs should be eliminated. Such programs perpetuate the right-college mindset (“only apply early decision if you know that college X is perfect for you”), offering applicants an admissions advantage and early notification in exchange for their commitment to attend

if accepted. While most colleges insist that early decision doesn’t confer a significant advantage upon applicants, it’s difficult to ignore that many selective private colleges fill a good 35 to 55 percent of their incoming class through such programs, and that acceptance rates for early decision are much higher than those for regular decision.

Considering that students needing financial aid have a strong disincentive to apply through early decision — it doesn’t afford them the opportunity to compare financial aid awards they might get through regular decision — it’s a disastrous system. …

The right-college mindset raises the stakes of the admissions game to a level incommensurate with the role of higher education institutions in our lives. They’re designed not to identify winners and losers, but to facilitate the pursuit of knowledge and encourage critical thinking. And there are plenty of colleges out there that are capable of doing just that.

— The Daily Californian, University of California, Berkeley “The Bar Exam tests law students on details, should focus on the practical,” Sabiha Masud Students in fields such as law or medicine know their fates will eventually be sealed by an ominous and inescapable exam. Tests like these decide who will enter the workforce

and who will be forced into another career.

Society has long considered these measures of intelligence as flawless and continues to depend on them — but that time may be coming to a close.

The bar exam all law students are required to take has recently been under scrutiny, as this year’s scores were much lower than last year’s in more than 50,000 students.

The students in question had the lowest exam scores in over a decade, which alarmed various deans of law schools across the country. People began to wonder if the problem was with the test and not the students forced to take it. …

Each of these licensing exams … focuses mainly on memorization. … The tests undoubtedly have their merit and weed out students who have not put in the time and dedication it takes to fully comprehend the intricacies of any given field. But the components of each exam either need to be diversified, or the test itself should be given far less weight. …

For example, things like performance in internships should have a huge part in determining if a student can practice law….

It is much more crucial to test how an individual acts and carries responsibility in the workforce than to test how much they can memorize in a short period of time.

POLICE BEAT

“I’m fine!”

A UA student was lying in a bathroom with abdominal pain at Cochise Residence Hall on March 7 at 7:15 p.m.

University Emergency Medical Services arrived on the scene, where a woman was lying on the floor wearing a bikini top and a pair of swim shorts. According to a University of Arizona Police Department officer, she appeared to be in pain and was speaking incoherently. She also began crying once the Tucson Fire Department arrived. As she was being evaluated, her suitemate and resident assistant helped to confirm her identity.

Everyone helped the woman back to her room as she swayed and stumbled. She stopped on the stairway outside her room and yelled, “I’m fine!” While she continued to walk, her mood changed to cooperative and polite. The student made it to her room and her suitemate agreed to stay with her for the rest of the night.

The officer made contact with the woman, and he could see her eyes were red and watery, and she had a strong smell of intoxicants coming from her breath. She said she drank some alcohol off campus near 435 E. Adams St. Later on, the officer drove to the address provided by the student and saw a small group of women also wearing bikini tops and swim shorts entering and exiting the yard of a residence. He could hear yelling and loud talking as though a social event was occurring.

A UA student diversion form was completed for the sick woman and forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

How many bottles of beer on the wall?

A UAPD officer saw two male UA students walking southbound on Park Avenue trying to hide a Keystone Light box they were carrying on March 7 at 2:15 p.m.

The officer was on a break when he saw the two men set the box on the east side of a short brick wall to his left and sat on the wall facing east. They both looked over at the patrol car and after about three minutes, the officer moved closer to the men. The men walked over to a concrete table under a 7-Eleven canopy about 6 feet away from the brick wall.

A 30-pack of Keystone Light was seen on the wall as the officer walked toward the men. He pointed at the beer and told them he saw them placing it on the wall and walk away from it. One student said he wasn’t sure if it was legal to carry the beer in public. The men identified themselves to be 18 and 19 years of age.

One man said he bought the beer using a fake license. He was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol, misrepresentation of age to purchase and possession of a fictitious out-of-state license. The other student was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol.

OS ANGELES — They say one is the loneliest number, but eight is surely the most depressing when it comes to college basketball.

For the second straight season, Arizona suffered the heartbreak of losing in the Elite Eight and coming up one game short of the Final Four.

It’s like reaching Mount Doom and losing the One Ring before you can toss it in the fire.

On Saturday, No. 2 seed Arizona lost 85-78 to No. 1 seed Wisconsin in the West region’s Elite Eight matchup. The Wildcats have not made it to the Final Four since 2001.

“I didn’t come here to play for second place, third place — I came here to play for the championship,” Arizona forward Stanley Johnson said. “We lost the game and didn’t

get to the championship or the Final Four.”

Arizona (34-4) lost to the Badgers (35-3) in the Elite Eight for the second straight season. The Wildcats led at the half but were outscored 5545 in the second half as Wisconsin made 10 3-pointers in the final 20 minutes.

“I felt like last year, we just left money on the table,” Arizona guard Gabe York said.

However, while Arizona came up short of UA coach Sean Miller’s first Final Four, the Wildcats still had a great season.

“I’m not going to apologize for being 34-4, and I’m not going to apologize for not making the Final Four, and neither should these guys,” Miller said. “There are a couple of them, and I’ll just use these two as an example, that have won 69 games in two years, have won back-toback conference championships, have been in the top 10 for every day that they’ve dribbled a ball at Arizona, and we lost to Wisconsin in two hard-fought battles in the Elite Eight.”

The fact is, Arizona has won 38 games in a row at home, 14 in a row until the Elite Eight, the EA Sports Maui Invitational, both Pac-12 Conference championships, got a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and made it down to the last eight teams.

Probably 99 percent of the schools in the country would kill for a season like that.

“It’s definitely hard to win 30 plus games in college,” Arizona forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson said. “For us to do that back-to-back times and come to back-to-back Elite Eights, I’m definitely proud.”

Yes, Arizona is in the 1 percent, and some UA fans are calling for the 2014 Pac-12 Coach of the Year’s head, but they ran into a buzz saw in Wisconsin, again.

If Arizona was in the terrible East region, whose top two seeds went down the first week and No. 3 seed lost in the Sweet Sixteen, they could have easily made the Final Four.

No. 7 seed Michigan State won that region. The Spartans lost at home to Texas Southern, which UA beat

93-72 in the Round of 64.

After the Elite Eight, Johnson apologized to UA fans.

“We’re going to be back one day and be in the Elite Eight very soon once again,” Johnson said. “Very, very soon.”

While all five Wildcat starters, including Johnson, could be leaving — four for the pros — Johnson’s prediction isn’t that bold.

According to ESPN, Arizona has the second best 2015 recruiting class, and this year’s freshman class was sixth. The Wildcats were so stacked this year, 2014 Junior College Player of the Year Kadeem Allen redshirted.

York added that Miller told the team to keep their heads up after the game.

“He just said, ‘Hold your heads up high and understand that we will be back again,’” York said, “‘and the next time, we will push through.’”

UA ends ASU series on high note Despite winning the final game of the series in convincing fashion on Sunday, Arizona softball lost the series to ASU 2-1 over the weekend

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

Arizona softball lost two out of three games against ASU in a home series this weekend.

The No. 14 Wildcats (29-9, 3-3 Pac-12 Conference) fell to their rivals on Friday and Saturday before salvaging a victory on Sunday.

Arizona defeated No. 21 ASU 11-1 (five innings) in the series finale behind strong pitching and four home runs, including a walkoff three-run shot from Katiyana Mauga.

“The one thing you don’t want to do is get swept at home,” Arizona coach Mike Candrea said. “No. 2, you don’t want to get swept by your freaking rival. So, there was a lot on the line.”

After struggling the first two games of the series, UA pitchers Michelle Floyd and Trish Parks combined to allow just one run on six hits.

Floyd pitched into a few early jams but never allowed ASU to cross the plate.

“I trust my team,” Floyd said. “I love my infielders and outfielders, so I knew that if I give them a pitch, my team will defend it.”

Floyd left the game after three innings and was replaced by Parks, whose only blemish came in the top of the fifth.

Arizona’s lineup provided the pitchers plenty of insurance. The Wildcats scored three runs in the second and one in the third to establish an early lead. Two more runs in the fourth gave the Wildcats a comfortable lead before Mauga delivered the walk-off homer the next inning.

Chelsea Goodacre, Hallie Wilson and Mandie Perez also hit homers for Arizona.

“With Goodacre and Fox, the seniors stepped up big time,” Candrea said. “In rivalry games, that’s what we need.”

Arizona took a one-run lead into the seventh inning in the Friday night series opener before the Sun Devils struck for five runs to earn a come-from-behind 8-5 victory.

The defeat marked Arizona’s first home loss of the season.

The rivals traded a handful of home runs over the final innings, including a Lauren Young solo shot in the bottom of the sixth that gave the UA a 4-3 lead at the time.

Floyd could not close the door on the Sun Devils in the last inning, as ASU’s Chelsea Gonzales hit a grand slam off the sophomore to turn a one-run deficit into a three-run lead.

With Parks in for relief, ASU scored another run to push the deficit to four heading into the bottom of the seventh. The Wildcats managed to answer with a run but could not pull off a rally to extend the game.

Arizona softball catcher Chelsea Goodacre (77) runs home to greet her teammates during Arizona’s 11-1 win over ASU at Hillenbrand Stadium on Sunday night.

Goodacre and the Wildcats lost the series to ASU 2-1 over the weekend.

Floyd, who did not allow a hit through 4.2 innings, picked up her fifth loss of the season.

What ended as a slugging match began as a pitcher’s duel, with Floyd and ASU starter Breanna Macha trading scoreless frames in the early going.

The teams combined for just a single run through four innings, which came off a firstinning RBI double from Mauga.

Arizona outhit the Sun Devils 11-8, led by a 2-3 appearance at the plate from leadoff

batter Hallie Wilson.

The UA’s struggles on the mound continued Saturday afternoon in a 9-4 loss in which the Sun Devils built an early lead and never let go.

Parks gave up seven earned runs on seven hits over three frames, including a four-run third inning that broke open the Sun Devil’s lead.

ASU capitalized off a pair of two-run doubles, after grabbing a 1-0 lead in the first, to expand the lead to 5-1 through three innings.

Arizona’s Siera Phillips replaced Parks and offered two innings of scoreless relief. Floyd then relieved Phillips in the sixth inning and gave up two more runs.

The Wildcats will head to Corvallis, Ore., on Thursday for a series with Oregon State.

Arizona baseball sweeps Oregon to improve to 22-6

BY Rose aly valenzuela The Daily Wildcat

This weekend called for another series sweep for the Arizona baseball team after the Wildcats took down No. 18 Oregon to improve to a 22-6, 7-2 Pac-12 Conference record.

“Obviously, that’s a good weekend,” Arizona coach Andy Lopez said. “I was really pleased with [Xavier] Borde today; he did a marvelous job.”

Borde earned the save for Sunday’s game, pitching 3.1 innings while allowing no runs on one hit and recording six strikeouts.

Cody Moffett earned his first win of the season.

“I thought Moffett did a good job, and Borde was a plus,” Lopez said.

Leading the offense were second baseman Scott Kingery and right fielder Zach Gibbons.

The win marked the sixth straight for Arizona. The Wildcats recorded their first back-to-back conference sweep since 2013

and swept Oregon for the first time since 2009.

Lopez has a different mentality than last year with six straight conference wins.

“I’ve never had a team not play hard, and last year was such a disaster, so that was the mission for these guys: to play hard,” Lopez said. “They can take a punch, and they can gather themselves and rally back and deliver a punch.”

Kingery started his first game of the weekend on Saturday after sitting out during Friday’s game with the flu. Kingery hit a home run over the scoreboard in his first at-bat back to record the first run for Arizona in the bottom of the first.

“It was good to get back out there,” Kingery said. “I definitely missed playing with the team on Friday night, but I’m glad they came out with the win. It just felt good to get back out there and finish off the sweep.”

Kingery hit 3-for-5 during the final weekend game, despite still feeling ill.

Lopez said the team has gotten more consistent in the offense throughout the

lineup.

“It’s fun when it evens out,” Lopez said, “because you kind of hate to throw the burden at the two guys at the top, Kingery and Newman, but that’s good now.”

Arizona had 11 hits as a team and beat the Ducks 9-5 for the series win on Saturday.

Pitcher Nathan Bannister got the win after allowing three hits and one run in three innings, improving to 5-0 on the season.

Kingery explained what has been working for this year’s team compared to last year’s.

“Our offense has done a great job on jumping on people early and in the middle innings,” he said. “Just being relentless out there, and we never get complacent. We just keep trying to tag on more runs, and the pitching has been doing really good at keeping the run total low, so that’s all working together right now.”

It was a difficult and competitive weekend for the Arizona men’s and women’s tennis teams, as they both faced the challenge of having to play powerhouses California and Stanford in the same weekend.

The men made the trip to Berkeley and Palo Alto, Calif., to face the Golden Bears and the Cardinal, while the women hosted both teams at home at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

The women began their match on Friday against No. 3 Cal with a lot of momentum, taking two out of the three doubles matches to get the important doubles point before going into singles play. The Wildcats played Cal competitively in the singles competition, but the Golden Bears ultimately came out on top in all six of the singles matches and won the match 6-1.

Arizona lost 6-1 to No. 13 Stanford on Saturday. The Wildcats almost won the doubles point with another win by their No. 1 team Briar Preston and Shayne Austin, but Laura Oldham and Devin Chypyha lost in a wellfought battle to Krista Hardebeck and Lindsey Kostas, 8-6. Inge Hendrikx won the lone match for the ’Cats at the No. 6 singles position, defeating Kostas in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.

When asked about how she felt her team played against two powerhouse programs, Arizona coach Vicky Maes said she liked the way her team played against Cal but felt her team came out flat against Stanford.

“The [Stanford] match was a bit of a letdown,” Maes said. “We need more of a battle in singles. We rolled over in many situations.”

Maes said it is important that her players convert on more opportunities

moving forward, because opportunities are scarce against dominant teams, and it is essential to take advantage of them when they do come.

The most impressive performance of the weekend came from the Wildcats No. 1 doubles tandem of Preston and Austin. They won their doubles matches both against Cal and Stanford, taking down two teams that are ranked in the top five in the nation. Maegan Manasse and Denise Starr of Cal were the fifth-ranked doubles team in the country, and Taylor Davidson and Carol Zhao of Stanford were ranked No. 2.

Preston and Austin said they believe they will have more confidence going into future matches and said they feel they can make the NCAAs as a doubles team. They went into both of the matches as aggressors, making sure they attacked their opponents before their opponents had an opportunity to attack them. They were happy that they were given the chance to finally prove the high level of tennis they can compete and win at, and they have shown they are

capable of beating anybody.

The weekend became even more of an uphill battle for the men when they received the surprising news that their No. 1 player, Naoki Takeda, would be unable to play due to arm and elbow issues. The ’Cats were unable to win any matches, falling 4-0 to Cal on Friday and 7-0 to Stanford on Saturday.

“Whenever you lose your No. 1 guys, it’s a challenge,” Arizona coach Tad Berkowitz said.

Everyone had to move up a spot with Takeda missing the weekend. Berkowitz said he thought his team fought hard and that it was a great experience for his team to play two great schools but said he felt his team pressed a little too much and committed too many unforced errors.

“No matter who we step on the court with, the guys need to trust their game,” Berkowitz said.

The men will head to Los Angeles this weekend, where they will face off against UCLA and USC. The women will be hosting USC and UCLA this weekend at home.

Q I am 21 years old and have had sex a few times. I

recently bought a vibrator to stimulate my clitoris, and I get off pretty fast. But when I have sex, although it feels good, I don’t reach orgasm. I would really like to experience an orgasm through sex. What can I do?

A. This is a very common concern. Like you, many women enjoy the intimacy that sex brings, but feel they lack the intensity of an orgasm. In fact, estimates show that 40-60% of women in your age group do not typically reach orgasm during sex. The primary reason for this is often a relative lack of sexual experience in both themselves and their partners. With time and experience, however, women find that they become more aware of, and comfortable with, their bodies, and are better able to reach the big “O.” By figuring out what feels good to you through masturbation, you are taking an important first step. After all, it’s hard to communicate

what you enjoy to your partner if you haven’t found out for yourself. It’s also no coincidence that you seem to “get off” through clitoral stimulation, but not through intercourse.

The clitoris is a highly sensitive bundle of nerve endings whose sole purpose is pleasure.

In fact, 70% of women need their clitoris stimulated in order to have an orgasm.

Fortunately, there are many ways to involve the clitoris in lovemaking, thereby increasing your chances of climaxing during sex. Some options include oral sex, manual stimulation with a vibrator or finger, or using positions which better stimulate the clitoris. Take the time to show your partner the where’s and the how’s of what you like, and remember – communication is the foundation of great sex.

THEATER REVIEW

Tenacious, top-notch ‘Othello’

BY ANNA MAE LUDLUM The Daily Wildcat

“Othello” is the tale of a man devoted to his new bride, who is unknowingly influenced by Iago, the very extract of evil. It is a story of love ultimately poisoned by cruel company.

UA artistic director for the Arizona Repertory Theatre, Brent Gibbs, directs the Shakespearean drama with such exquisite execution, it is a wonder the university has managed to hang on to this rare talent.

Staged within the Tornabene Theatre, the audience is seated on either side of the area reserved for the performance. The actors exit and enter from behind the sets and audience, creating a 360-degree immersive experience.

The nearness of the actors allows the audience to be in the midst of their celebrations, but it is also an uneasy experience akin to hiding in a closet during private disclosures. It is especially discomforting when Iago speaks directly to the audience, including them in his schemes; it adds a sense of complicity, helplessness and unshakeable guilt for the impending tragedy.

Iago, Othello’s trusted comrade, has been cited as one of the most evil characters in fiction. Matthew Bowdren’s enthralling interpretation of Iago solidifies this reasoning as he schemes to destroy Othello and all outranking him. Bowdren’s Iago is the serpent in the garden, the evil that rotted the portrait of Dorian Gray. He is the devil’s apprentice and is so unsettling, it is difficult to be shut in a theater with him.

Chris Okawa’s first entrance as Othello answers any inquiry as to why he is a distinguished general in the Venetian army.

His composure commands a room, and his authority is respected. Okawa’s Othello is a triumph from his introduction as the model of military integrity, to becoming ruthlessly consumed by the green-eyed monster and his fatal end.

Kierna Connor’s Desdemona is similar to Melanie Wilkes in “Gone With the Wind,” but

with gentle humor. Her Desdemona is rich with emotional complexity in her innocence as she hauntingly sings “The Willow Song.”

The supporting actors, including Lauren Bardon, Ethan Kirschbaum, David Hentz, Bryn Booth, Keenan Larson and David Weynand, were each superb in their performances and brought the atmosphere to life.

Though the play is set in Venice and Cyprus, the Civil War-era clothing captures the work’s inescapable racial hostility, especially when Desdemona’s father sends a lynching mob of hicks with shotguns and pitchforks after Othello elopes with his daughter.

Once a soldier bound to the duty of the greater good, Othello’s mind is poisoned

by Iago until he no longer recognizes what is good and who speaks truth. The seed of doubt Iago plants in Othello, calling into question his wife’s fidelity, quickly escalates as he spends less time with his wife and more time in the company of a man determined to destroy him.

Othello was accused by his father-inlaw of using drugs and witchcraft to induce Desdemona’s affection, but it is Othello who seems to be the recipient of the dark arts by Iago. Once Othello enters an all-consuming fury from which he cannot return, he strikes Desdemona in front of his officers and friends, calling her a whore. The violence is not downplayed.

The production in no way implies that abuse could ever be a symptom of love.

Arizona Repertory Theatre’s “Othello” doesn’t shy away from the themes that made the play controversially famous, and it doesn’t make excuses. It does show that, with the right cast and creative team, “Othello” can be seen for what the play is: a powerful piece of literature.

“Othello” can be seen until April 5 at the Tornabene Theatre.

IAGO (MATT BOWDREN, TOP RIGHT) plots against Othello (Chris Okawa) and his love as he plants the idea that Desdemona (Kierna Conner) is having an affair with Cassio (Ethan Kirschbaum) in William Shakespeare’s “Othello.” The play runs until Sunday at the Tornabene Theatre.

No weeping, only happy tears at guitar competition

On Sunday, the Fred Fox School of Music held its 27th Annual Leonard and David Schaeffer Memorial Guitar Competition.

With funding from the Leonard and David Schaeffer Memorial Endowment, the competition featured four exemplary undergraduate students performing solo guitar.

The Fred Fox School of Music is world-renowned for its guitar program and just received a $2 million grant to benefit it.

Tom Patterson, director of the guitar program, opened up the program. The goal of the competition, he said, was to encourage undergraduate students to play and participate in musical competitions traditionally reserved for more experienced students.

“I can say without doubt that there are only two places in the United States that have two competitions that solely cater to undergraduates,” Patterson said, speaking to the strength of the program.

The finalists competed for cash prizes: $800 for first place, $600 for second, $400 for third and $250 for fourth. The four students participating each presented about 30 minutes of a classical guitar composition by various composers.

In addition, there was a special encore performance

by Jing Xia, a world-renowned visiting scholar from China who played the guzheng, a stringed traditional Chinese instrument

that resembles a cross between an American guitar and a piano.

Ignacio Mondaca, 18, from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, won first place for his performance of “Three Spanish Pieces: Fandango, Passacaglia, and Zapateado” by Joaquín Rodrigo. The three were fast-paced, rhythmic pieces that showcased Mondaca’s talent for rapid music. Mondaca received enthusiastic cheers from the audience. Although his music was complex, Mondaca seemed relaxed during his performance, nodding his head to the rhythm of the music.

Joshua Taylor, a chemical engineering sophomore, said Mondaca was his favorite performer. “It was killer,” Taylor said. “Him hitting the rhythm with all the intricate notes was just amazing.”

Matthew Hart, a mechanical engineering senior, agreed. Hart said he came to the competition to check out the renowned music program.

The other performers also delivered high-quality performances. Sam Fernandez, from Phoenix, won second place for his moving “Les Soirees d’Auteuil” by Napoleon Coste and “Otro Tango, Buenos Aires” by Jorge Morel. Fernandez started out with medium tempo for his first piece. His shining moment was his moving, slow rendition of Morel’s composition, which received a strong reaction from the audience.

Third place was given to Noah Weig-Pickering from Albuquerque, N.M. WeigPickering, 18, performed a soulful

rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Sarabande” and “Tempo di Bourrée” from “Violin Partita No. 1 in B minor,” as well as “Fantasia sobre Temas de ‘La Traviata’” by Francisco Tárrega.

Stepping out in pantaloons, knee-high purple socks and a blue sarong-like scarf to hold his guitar was Graesyn Spiers from Tucson, who won fourth place. Spiers performed four pieces: “Fortune My Foe” by John Dowland, “Prelude from Lute Suite No. 2 in C Minor” by Bach, No. 2 from “Douze Etudes” by Heitor VillaLobos and “Sonata No. 1, Op. 7”

by Ferdinando Carulli.

Spiers’ performance featured medium-tempo pieces that showcased thematic repetitions.

Closing the performance, Jing Xia performed an expertly crafted rendition of “Yi Dance.”

Getting a standing ovation from a cheering crowd, Xia performed a traditional song that transitioned seamlessly into rock with classical Chinese overtones.

Blanca Garcia, an audience member, said she came “because [her] grandson [Mondaca] was a finalist in the show.”

The performance brought together classical guitar students of all different styles and nationalities, and showcased their talents and individuality in an exquisite, two-hour performance.

The annual competition was certainly not one to be overlooked.
