The Arizona Board of Regents held an interactive tuition proposal hearing Tuesday night with the three public Arizona universities, live-streaming simultaneous meetings from seven locations across the universities’ multiple campus locations.

The hearing for the main UA campus was held at Gallagher Theater, with the hearing also taking place at the UA South campus in Sierra Vista via live stream. Regent Rick Myers and UA President Ann Weaver Hart went to the hearing to facilitate and listen to student comments, while Arizona State University President Michael Crow and

Northern Arizona University President Rita Cheng made appearances on the live stream. The UA’s current tuition proposal was released on March 18 and projected a change for all graduate students’ tuition. It will also affect incoming resident and non-resident undergraduate students, and

Tech Parks AZ take Germany BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE The Daily Wildcat

A delegation from Tech Parks Arizona will head to one of the world’s largest international technology trade shows in Germany at the end of April with hopes to attract new international businesses to the tech park. The technology trade show known as Hannover Messe is giving center stage to top American universities and technology institutes for the first time in its history this year. Over 20 U.S. institutions, including Arizona State University, will showcase their research, business startups and global partnerships alongside the UA at Hannover Messe 2016. While the UA team will not be bringing any business startups along due to cost, it will showcase key research as well as exhibit its Global Advantage Program, according to Justin Dutram, the director of business development for Tech Parks Arizona. Research will be showcased from the six different areas in which the UA has a competitive advantage, according to the Associate Vice President of Tech Parks Arizona, Bruce Wright. The six areas being: defense and security, health and biosciences, intelligent transportation systems, advanced energy, mining, and arid lands agriculture and water. Wright said the team hopes to target “small to midsize fast-growth technology companies” working in those sectors. Tech Parks Arizona, conceived in 1994, has attracted over 40

businesses to its sprawling industrial park off Interstate 10, and to another location currently under construction off Kino Parkway. Companies from all over the world including Canada, Korea, Mexico, Israel and Germany currently operate on site. Wright said Tech Parks Arizona will continue to market to companies in those countries. “We’re open to companies from wherever they are in the world, it’s just that we can’t be all places and

all things to all people, so we are targeting our recruitment to those countries because we have strong partners and ties to those countries,” Wright said. Aside from the five-day trade fair, the Tech Parks’ delegation will also visit its sister park, Adlershof Science and Technology Park in Berlin, looking to recruit businesses there. Adlershof holds over 1,000 companies and institutions and Wright said he is excited to visit. “When I say recruit, it’s important

to say we’re not trying to steal them away from their park,” he said. “We’re looking for companies that are looking to expand their business operations into North America.” Tech Parks Arizona offers companies a chance to come and test the waters in Tucson at a limited cost as part of its Global Advantage Program. During this time, companies are provided a mentor who connects them to UA research

returners who didn’t opt in for the tuition guarantee. All current undergraduate students who received a tuition guarantee upon entrance to the university will still be asked to pay the same mandatory fees and tuition for all four years, or their remaining years at the UA. Proposed increases for the 2016-2017 incoming resident undergraduate students are 3.2 percent and 7.2 percent for incoming non-resident undergraduates. For resident graduate students there is a 2.8 percent proposed increase, and for non-resident graduate students a 5.8 percent increase is proposed. Student leaders including Manny Felix, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, Sarah Netherton, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, and Ashley Watkins, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona South, were included in tuition discussions with UA administration this year. These talks began taking place right after the holiday break, according to Hart. Both Felix and Netherton expressed gratitude for being included in these discussions at the main campus Tuesday night. “Very few student leaders from other universities across the nation have the opportunity to participate in tuition discussions or to be involved in setting the rate of tuition,” Felix said. “Both Sarah Netherton—from GPSC—and I have had the opportunity to work with our university’s leadership where we jointly recommended a tuition rate [increase] of 3 percent.” Netherton added that beyond suggesting what they saw as a modest tuition increase, herself and Felix engaged in talks with

education or education administration. A total of 12 UA students and faculty members spoke at Tuesday night’s hearing from both the main and south campuses. While much of the criticism from students and faculty was directed at the Arizona State Legislature for its education funding—$99 million was cut from the three state universities in 2015 and Gov. Doug Doucey’s recent proposal passed only $8 million in funding for the coming year—some students also took aim at the regents and the university administration. Karlyn Bradley, a senior studying gender and women’s studies and political science, accused the regents of not standing up to the state legislature for fear of losing their appointed positions. He said the work that both the regents and administrators had been doing was easy and not a creative link to the loss of state funding. “It is easy to say, ‘We have this cost and in order for us to find the money that we need, let’s put it on the students,’ because that is what institutions have always done,” Bradley said. While the regent and university presidents did not have time to respond to the speakers during the hearing, Hart later said the UA is constantly working to find creative ways to get funding. She said that while most of the creative changes made to deal with cuts cannot be seen by students, the administration is working to diversify its revenue. “I understand how it feels but I also think that much of what we are doing has not been visible to the everyday student who is focused on being a good student and succeeding, but I can assure you that we think about this everyday,” Hart said. The board will officially approve tuition proposals at its meeting on April 7.

faculty and students, as well as to partner companies that can help with networking, seminars and workshops. An important selling point of the Global Advantage Program, according to Wright, is the Tech Parks’ connection to Mexico where companies can find partners to do largescale manufacturing. “[If companies] have to ramp up and do large-scale manufacturing, they can be much more competitive if they go into our partners in Mexico,” Wright said. “Mexico’s got state-of-the-art facilities, high-productivity and high-quality manufacturing, so it allows them to produce a product at a very competitive price for the North American market.” The proximity to Mexico is also important, Wright said, because of a growing middle class that could potentially become a large consumer base for companies at the Tech Parks. Tech Parks Arizona is also unique in its offering of a large solar testing site. “We are one—if not the largest—multitechnology solar testing facility in the world that tests solar energy at what’s called the utility or grid-level. The electricity is above 350,000 kilowatts,” Wright said. “There’s a lot of places where you can test an individual panel or an individual system, but this is all at that level—at that higher level—and all the electricity is fed into the Tucson Electric Power grid, so the companies can also see how the technology performs in integrating to an actual operating utility grid which sets us apart from a lot of different places.” The Tech Parks are currently talking with six to seven companies who are in the process of signing client agreements, according to Wright, and the UA delegation hopes to bring seven to 10 companies back from its visit to Germany. The new companies that Wright hopes to announce in fall 2016 would then generate revenue for the Tucson community and could turn into possible research opportunities, jobs and internships for UA students.

The UA Campus Pantry program, a student-run nonprofit committed to helping students who face food insecurity, now has a new home. The Arizona Student Unions donated a space in the Student Union Memorial Center to serve as Campus Pantry’s new living space. Berkley Harris, the Campus Pantry director of communications and co-founding board member, and a senior studying public management and policy, said that moving to a new location has been a long-time goal. “This move has been one of our hopes for a very long time because we know that being in the Union is great—not only location wise because it’s central, but it also gives us more visibility so that we can show students that we are a service and we’re there to help,” she said. Harris said that one of the biggest issues Campus Pantry has faced has been letting students know about the program, which was first chartered in 2012. Molly Hansen, a communications senior and director of outreach for Campus Pantry, said that while the program has reached a good number of people in past food distributions, she hopes to reach more from moving to a more centralized location. “We’ve distributed about 1,800 pounds of food in the past academic school year to students and staff in need,” Hansen said. “We get about 30 to 40 people per distribution and hope to increase that number now that we are in a more accessible space.” Hansen, who has been a part of Campus Pantry since 2012, said the it has changed and grown over the past few years. “Last year, we had storage facilities in Villa del Puente and Likins Residence Halls,” she said. “We would transport the food to El Portal, the Residence Life office, in shopping carts, and set up the distribution in a conference room. This year, we moved most of our inventory to Babcock Hall. We were located in the lounge and we set up

of food insecurity on campus,” Harris said. “It’s completely anonymous, you just need to show your CatCard so we can make sure there is an affiliation with UA, and then you can take seven or eight items, depending on our inventory. The cost for the new location was minimal since they already had the room, electric outlets, Wi-Fi, painters on staff, a cold storage refrigerator that needed to be repaired and shelving donated by the UA Bookstore, according to Millay. He said they bought new paint for the room, as well as plastic bags and some baskets to get them started, and so they only spent roughly around $100 to $200. Millay said this move was a creative solution and that cost going forward will be minimal since they made better use of a room they already had. The Arizona Student Unions, however, do not own Campus Pantry, and Campus Pantry does not own the space or supplies that have been provided. “I can’t say it’s permanent forever, but as far as I envision, they have a new home here for a long, long time and we welcome and want them here,” Millay said. He said Arizona Student Unions and Campus Pantry do not have a binding contract, but rather a memo of understanding that basically states that as long as the memorandum of understanding is signed yearly, then Campus Pantry will be granted permission to use the space. “We have lots of support from the community and campus, which continues to grow,” Harris said. “It’s really great that the [Student] Union is very supportive of students’ efforts to help out the Wildcat community.” Campus Pantry’s next distribution is Friday at El Portal and the first distribution at their new location will be April 15 from noon to 3 p.m.

the distributions there, but now we’re in the student union.” Harris said last November marked the beginning of meetings with Arizona Student Unions. They surprised her with the new space last month when she was expecting to go into another meeting. Director of Arizona Student Unions, Todd Millay, thinks the program is now better able to handle addressing those with food insecurity in the new location. “We’re in a good position to leverage our relationships and help out the whole community that’s food deficient right now, giving Campus Pantry some new tools to work with,” he said. Millay said when he visited Campus Pantry at Babcock with Students for Sustainability program coordinator Chet Phillips and Michael Omo, the student union’s executive chef, he knew they could help. They found an old storage room which they cleared out, cleaned and painted to be bright and welcoming. “It’s near our loading docks, which is important because now that they have a room that has size and storage capabilities, we can help coordinate logistics of food donations coming in,” Millay said. He said it was important to find a facility that was discreet for those who have food insecurity. They also put a refrigerator that would allow Campus Pantry to store milk and dairy and distributing healthier items. The program receives most of its funding from the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Green Fund, and gets most donations now from the Student Union, Residence Life, Whole Foods, Thai Market, Ishkashitaa, Students for Sustainability, Campus Health and from clubs and organizations who hold food drives, according to Millay. “Now that we have a permanent home, we’re hoping to increase the amount of distributions that we have, reach more people at each distribution, continue providing the diverse food options and increasing the nutrition level while increasing awareness

POLICE BEAT BY Ava Garcia

The Daily Wildcat

The wetspot During an area check of the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage on March 15, a University of Arizona Police Department officer saw a male student disappear behind a wall around the top level of the garage, near the center on the north side. The area was secluded and the male student walked away as the officer drove closer. The officer noticed two water bottles and two damp spots on the ground that could indicate a spitting area. When the officer stopped the student, the officer said he appeared nervous. When asked what he was doing there, the student said he was enjoying the views and had initially been with three friends who then left five minutes prior to the officer’s arrival. The student smelled strongly of marijuana. When asked what residence hall he lived in, the student identified his residence hall’s name, but could not remember his room number. The officer asked the student if he had any marijuana on him, but he said he didn’t. The officer asked the student to empty his pockets, so he took out a wallet from his back pocket. While it appeared he had something in his right front pocket, he said it was medication and would not reveal what was in his pocket. The officer told the student he was free to leave, and after he did, the officer looked around the student’s location in the garage to locate any contraband, but could not find any. The officer contacted the resident assistant in the student’s residence hall and completed an FYI to be forwarded to the Dean of Students. Lightweight A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Coronado Residence Hall regarding a female student who was being evaluated in her room by Tucson Fire Department. The student was vomiting when the officer arrived at the room. The student’s roommate was in the room and expressed concern about her roommate. She said that the one student “is so small, it doesn’t take much to get her drunk.” Tucson Fire Department medically cleared the student and the officer began to ask her questions. The officer asked her where she consumed alcohol and the student said at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. The student said the only thing she remembered drinking was vodka. She smelled of alcohol and her speech was incoherent. The officer arrested the student for a minor in possession of alcohol in the body, but she didn’t go to jail. She only had to sign a citation. The student apologized and said she would make sure that it was the last time something like that happened.

eaWorld’s agreement to end live orca shows and the captive breeding of orcas marks one of the most critical decisions made since the birth of wildlife parks in the United States. While they were not made as soon as they should have been, these decisions will hopefully fuel a shift in human understanding and respect for the incredible creatures we share this planet with. Likely inspired by the release of the “Blackfish” documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, SeaWorld has felt the pressure from newly enlightened Americans to change its ways. The message the parks recieved was quite clear: Either change your ways or close your parks. While the average person

with a moral compass could hope SeaWorld’s industry-changing decision was mostly sparked by the want to act humane and ethical, other factors were likely still at play in this agreement. Since the release of “Blackfish,” SeaWorld has rightfully experienced a decline in attendance rates and over 50 percent drop in stock price. For this reason, and for the fundamental reason that American corporations tend to be largely motivated by relentless greed, SeaWorld clearly did not make this decision purely out of altruism. Even with this commendable decision, it is difficult to overlook SeaWorld’s past 57 years of deceit and secrecy. One does not need to look at outside criticisms such as “Blackfish” to remember how persistent the company was and still is in defending its old ways; one can simply recall SeaWorld’s own words. SeaWorld stated “Blackfish” is propaganda, not a documentary.

The company is still asserting claims arguing “life at SeaWorld is harmful for killer whales and for trainers working with these animals, and that “SeaWorld has attempted to cover up the facts surrounding the tragic death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010, as well the history of Tilikum, the killer whale involved in that accident,” are totally false. If those arguments about SeaWorld’s lack of morality and compassion really were false, there would have been no reason for this new agreement with the Humane Society of the United States and with the California Coastal Commission. Orcas, and any wildlife kept in captivity for human entertainment purposes, are not inherently murderous toward humans. Instead of taking some of the responsibility for the welfare of both the animals and trainers, SeaWorld placed the blame on the trapped animals rather than the people who threw them into that

situation in the first place. Conditions could only worsen for both the animals and people working with them since animals cannot be expected to magically solve the problems surrounding their own imprisonment. This recent agreement shows promise of a change in that mindset. The people of SeaWorld have realized that humans cannot make life-changing decisions for animals and expect not to be held accountable for whatever repercussions result. Observing and appreciating animals through wildlife parks is more than a privilege. Maintaining and protecting the integrity and morality of them is a responsibility. SeaWorld’s recognition, acknowledgement and acceptance of this responsibility demonstrates promise of better days for wildlife everywhere. — Follow Jessica Suriano @suriano_jessica

UA Career Services really only serve a portion of students’ interests, majors BY Nicole Rochon

The Daily Wildcat

ou can find part-time onand off-campus positions, internships and full-time positions specifically for UA students and alumni, according to the Wildcat JobLink website. What this really means is that you can find positions specifically for some UA students and alumni. A few weeks ago, the UA Spring-Career Days proved the same thing: UA Career Services really only serves a portion of students’ interests. Promised with an opportunity to gain valuable insights about opportunities and obtain leads for post-graduation employment,

bleak for many. A colleague of mine graduating in May with two major areas of study and a great internship was applying to several jobs through JobLink and was given a 100 percent match with a job opening at a pie shop in Phoenix. Two college degrees and the most suitable option offered by JobLink was at a pie shop. Students not in engineering or business are generally underserved by Career Services and given no direction through this service to find employment after college. In the current economy, so many millennials are graduating with no job prospects, forcing them to move back home with their parents. One would presume that the UA would work harder to take a stand against unemployment rates of new graduates.

If no guidance is provided for new graduates in colleges outside of business and sciences, it is far more unlikely these students will successfully begin their careers upon graduating. The trend of the “dead-beat” millennial will only get worse if those millennials are initially led to believe—falsely—by their university that they have prospective careers in their field of choice. Career Services needs to be more forward about the qualifications for the jobs listed or work harder to be inclusive of all majors. No student should have to pay to use the service and get nothing from it when they need it.

Gray skies for Alaska Travel was limited in Alaska on Monday due to an ash cloud that shrouded the skies after a volcanic eruption. The volcano, named Pavlof and located over 600 miles southwest of Anchorage, erupted late Sunday evening. The eruption left a cloud of ash that rose over 20,000 feet shortly following the eruption. The eruption continued throughout Sunday night and into early Monday morning, by which time the ash cloud had grown to over 37,000 feet. Due to high winds in the area—over 50 miles per hour—the ash cloud spans a 400-mile region, covering a large portion of the Alaskan interior in ash and causing several flights to be canceled. “Volcanic ash is angular and sharp and has been used as an industrial abrasive,” according to the Washington Post. “The powdered rock can cause a jet engine to shut down. USGS geologists have compared it to flying into a sand blaster.” The USGS will continue to monitor Pavlof and, in the meantime, has raised its volcano alert to the highest level, warning of hazards in the air and on the ground.

Sitting lakeside on Pluto Recent data collected by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft suggests that, in addition to frozen oceans, Pluto may have had and will continue to have lakes on the surface. Considering Pluto is in orbit at an average of 3.67 billion miles away from the sun, the dwarf planet never reaches temperatures warm enough to have lakes made of water, but could possibly have lakes of liquid nitrogen. The temperature on Pluto is now around negative 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Its atmospheric pressure is very low, having been nearly 10,000 times greater in the past. This could be why there are currently no lakes on its surface. Computer models show that when Pluto’s atmospheric pressure is high, conditions may support liquid nitrogen, according to “Discovery News.” Given the current state of Pluto’s atmosphere, liquid nitrogen would be impossible to sustain on the surface. In time, the surface could become a vacationer’s paradise again, covered in placid lakes of liquid nitrogen.

unicorn in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan. Elasmotherium sibiricum, colloquially known as the Siberian unicorn, was thought to have died out 350,000 years ago, but the discovery of a fossilized Siberian unicorn skull is now making experts think the Siberian unicorn last lived on Earth only 29,000 years ago. The skull, which had a single horn protruding from the forehead, was radiocarbon dated and found to be around 29,000 years old, making the Siberian unicorn much longer-lived than was thought before. “Most likely, it was a very large male of very large individual age,” said Andrey Shpanski, paleontologist at Tomsk State University, in an interview on Phys. org. “The dimensions of this rhino are the biggest of those described in the literature, and the proportions are typical.” The Siberian unicorn measured up to 6-foot-6 and nearly 15 feet in length, weighing in at 8,000 pounds, according to U.S. News. These dimensions make E. sibiricum closer to the size of a wooly mammoth, rather than its closest modern analog, the rhinoceros.

whales that washed ashore in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, resulted in a startling discovery. Plastic car parts and fisherman’s netting were found inside the whale’s stomachs. The netting was over 40 feet long and the plastic car part was roughly 28 inches in length. All of the whales that washed ashore were male, aged 10 to 15 and averaged 16 tons—much less than average for a sperm whale. Storms in the northeast Atlantic caused the whale’s food source to move into the North Sea, and the hungry mammals ventured into shallow waters, leaving them stranded, according to iflscience.com. While it was found the whales died from cardiac and circulatory failure, not the foreign matter in their bellies, this find is still a stark reminder of our impact on the environment. “These findings show us the results of our plastic orientated society,” said Schleswig-Holstein environment Minister Robert Habeck to The Daily Mail. “Animals inadvertently consume plastic and plastic waste which causes them to suffer and at worst, causes them to starve with full stomachs.”

Body Smart Discussion: HOW CHILDREN DEVELOP BODY IMAGE. Wednesday, 3/30 @ 5-6:15pm at UA Campus Health. (3rd Floor, SW corner, Room B307)

Alternative Protein Sources– What Are My Options? Protein is part of all body cells and is vital to the growth, maintenance and repair of body tissue. Proteins are made up of amino acids arranged in different combinations to carry out their specific jobs. Of the 20 amino acids that make up the proteins of the body, 9 cannot be made by the body fast enough to meet its needs for growth and maintenance. These are known as essential amino acids (EAAs) and must be obtained through the food we eat. When a food contains all 9 EAAs, it is referred to as “complete.” All animal-derived and some plant-derived protein sources are complete. Eating a variety of plant-based protein daily (whether or not “complete”) can supply all the amino acids needed for health and activity. Combining certain foods with others to achieve a complete protein at each meal is no longer believed necessary. To estimate your daily protein needs, multiply your “protein activity factor” by your body weight in pounds: • Recreation/Sedentary: 0.4 grams per lb. of body weight • Moderate Daily Muscle Use: 0.5 grams per lb. of body weight • Runners/Heavy sports: 0.6 - 0.9 grams per lb. of body weight

Here are some plant-based protein sources that can help you keep your amino acid pools filled. Read labels, as protein content may vary depending on the specific product.

Science, humanities collide at conference

BY exene anderson The Daily Wildcat

The UA Department of German Studies will host the third annual Oceans and Deserts 2016: Charting Transdisciplinary Currents in Environment and Culture on Friday and Saturday. This is a conference for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty who wish to share their environmental humanities research. By examining the relationship between culture and the environment, this conference bridges the sciences and humanities to understand how these two subjects are related and how they influence each other. Additionally, the conference encourages inclusivity and strives to break down institutional boundaries, which promotes the reversal of the disciplinary isolation that currently divides the humanities and the sciences. Organized by graduate students in the German department, there will be a number of presentations covering topics such as politicized perception of alien species in Poland, environmental culture in China, and the National Park history in the U.S., according to Dr. Joela Jacobs, an assistant professor of German studies and the conference’s faculty sponsor. Jacobs explained that the program “shows what humanities research can contribute to the way we think and talk about the environment and the challenges we are facing in this context.” “We wanted to bring together fresh research from many different areas in the humanities to tie

into existing conversations here at the [UA], and to broaden our horizons by finding out what kind of research is done around the world,” Jacobs said. Keynote speaker Dr. Sean Ireton, an associate professor of German at the University of Missouri, will also give a talk titled, “Towards a CrossCultural Environmental Ethics: From Germany to Arizona.” Executive Director of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Craig Ivanyi, will give a special tour of the Desert Museum on Sunday morning, in addition to Ireton’s speech. There will also be an oceans and deserts themed Fisch Out of Water event on Friday evening. Fisch Out of Water is a monthly event hosted by the Deutscher Studenten Club that encourages and celebrates the uniqueness of native tongues, and how these “quirks” alter the foreign languages that one learns. This special themed event will focus on environmental issues and the interconnectedness between environmental studies and the learning and development of languages. The conference will take place Friday and Saturday in the Environmental and Natural Resources II Building, room S107. The event is free and open to the public, however, it is appreciated if individuals wishing to attend the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum tour register in advance. — Follow Exene Anderson @exeneanderson

Neurology professor inspires sophomore to pursue her dream BY LIZZIE HANNAH

The Daily Wildcat

This semester, in a conscious effort to recognize women for their contributions to science, the Daily Wildcat is running regular profiles of UA women who hope to change the world through their passions for knowledge. Some of the women to be featured are only just beginning their careers in research or medicine, while others have already impacted the decisions of aspiring young scientists through teaching and mentorship Each woman in the series was asked to discuss another female scientist who influenced her decision to enter her chosen field. Like the role models they discuss in their profiles, each of the women featured this semester will go on inspire girls and women to follow their hearts into the sciences. We continue our series today with a profile of Lindsey Chew, a sophomore studying neuroscience and cognitive science, who one day hopes to earn a doctorate in pharmacology and work as a pediatric neurosurgeon. Lindsey Chew has always had a passion for science and medicine. As a high school senior at Hamilton High School, Chew began a program called Operation Origami at Chandler Regional Medical Center. Chew folded paper cranes for patients and their families, and offered to pray with them in an effort to raise the spirits of sick patients. Chew estimated, in an interview with the East Valley Tribune, that she folded more than 12,000 paper cranes during her high school career. Chew began her journey as a scientist at the UA upon graduating from high school and receiving a Flinn Foundation scholarship in 2014. She is already making an impact on the UA’s scientific community, having participated in the Undergraduate Biology Research Program and performed clinical volunteer work in South America with a program called Vive Perú. Chew currently works in the lab of Dr. Rajesh Khanna, an associate professor of pharmacology who specializes in neuroscience and pain research. “My work in the Khanna lab aims at investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the hypersensitivity of cells that respond to pain and migraine,” Chew said. “In the future, I’d like to pursue an M.D./Ph.D. in pharmacology and work as a pediatric neurosurgeon in an academic medical institution.”

Is “breaking the seal” a real thing? You’ve heard this one before, right? You’re out with friends. After a beer or two, someone gets up and announces they are heading to the bathroom. What’s the phrase most likely to be thrown out? “Breaking the seal” is so overused, many of us believe it’s a real thing. It’s the idea that once you urinate that first time after drinking, you’ll have to “go” more often once the “seal” is broken. But the truth is, “breaking the seal” just doesn’t hold water (or anything else). There’s simply no physiological basis for it.

Chew hopes to one day adopt an African grey parrot, in addition to pursuing a future in science. Chew described her role model, Dr. Anita Koshy, an assistant proessor in the UA’s Department of Neurology. “My favorite woman scientist is Dr. Anita Koshy, who works in BIO5 and is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology. She is certainly a role model to me as both a physician scientist and mother. Balance is so important for professionals, and she does a particularly incredible job, as she divides her time between clinical and research hours, home with her family, and work with manuscripts or grant applications. I certainly admire the success that she’s had in navigating both the academic and filial realms. Her work as a neuroscientist encourages me to pursue any scientific aspirations I dare to conceive. Her work as a clinician is a striking example to me of compassion and excellency in patient care.”

That being said, there’s no denying alcohol’s diuretic properties, which stimulate the kidneys and lead to frequent urination. Alcohol decreases the secretion of vasopressin, a hormone which helps retain water in the body. Less vasopressin means that water is more likely to be flushed out through your bladder. If you drink, you’ll wind up releasing more water than you put in. And if

The good news is that by staying in your “sweet spot” – generally a BAC of .05 or under – and drinking plenty of water, you can avoid dehydration, headaches, nausea, and other hangover symptoms. Savvy drinkers make drink spacers (anything non-alcoholic, but water is best) part of their routine to keep hydrated and stay in the sweet spot longer. By alternating with spacers after every beer, mixed drink or shot, you’ll find that you enjoy a social buzz longer, too. While “breaking the seal” isn’t real, that’s not reason enough to stop saying it when you are out with friends. Next time you head to the bathroom ask someone to grab you a water while you’re away. Better to break the seal than to break a perfectly good buzz.

All-American Simmons eager to get on campus BY GIA TREVISAN

The Daily Wildcat

Kobi Simmons will join an exclusive list when he puts on his McDonald’s All-American jersey Wednesday night. Of all the great players that have come through the Arizona basketball program, only 20 have previously donned the honor of McDonald’s All-American. The most recent Wildcats to play in the game include Aaron Gordon, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Brandon Ashley, Stanley Johnson and Allonzo Trier. Simmons, a 6-foot-5 point guard from Alpharetta, Georgia, is next. He holds the all-time scoring record at St. Francis High School and is considered a consensus fivestar recruit. But Simmons has already set his focus on joining the program in Tucson. “I’m looking forward to just getting ready to play and being a Wildcat, and seeing how far we can take our team into the national tournament,” Simmons said in an interview with ESPN earlier this week. Simmons knows Arizona basketball has immense support in Tucson. However, there are always positives and negatives to picking a school that is just right. “You have the positives of knowing that everybody in Tucson is behind your back, and you got everybody supporting you,” Simmons said. “But then you have some people that say, ‘You should’ve went to Kentucky or wherever else.’ I just made the best decision for me and the Arizona coaches are making sure I’m doing well, and it’s great.” Tucson’s community and fanbase was an influence on Simmon’s decision to commit to the UA. McKale Center is home to a loyal fan base and known to be a difficult venue for visitors because of the level of noise and the intensity of the fans. “When I came on my visit, I was taking pictures with people in restaurants,” Simmons said. “After the game, I was signing autographs. I feel like I’m already a part of the family. The fans are crazy, I love it.”

KOBI SIMMONS, a freshly committed five-star UA basketball recruit, stands with head coach Sean Miller and assistant coach Emanuel Richardson on Sunday, Jan. 17. Simmons will compete in the McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago on Wednesday, March 29.

Simmons looks forward to wearing No. 2 at Arizona and playing alongside players with whom he already has a great relationship. He is also eager to start playing under Arizona head coach Sean Miller, who already knows Simmons well after watching and recruiting him throughout high school. Even though next year’s Wildcats will have plenty of new pieces, Simmons already feels like he is a

part of the team and established good relationships with the current players. In particular, Simmons remains in constant communication with Rawle Alkins about playing at Arizona next season But before Simmons finishes his senior year and arrives at Arizona, he has one more major milestone to knock out: the McDonald’s AllAmerican game. The game takes place at the United Center in Chicago and

will tip off at 6 p.m., Wednesday, televised on ESPN. “This experience will show me where my game stands, playing with players that will all be in college next year, and competing on the highest level,” Simmons said. “It feels crazy to be a McDonald’s All-American. It’s a blessing.” — Follow Gia Trevisan @g_trevs

Freshmen deserve patience from fans Arizona men’s basketball is one of the few programs that consistently lands top recruits. But have fans taken five-stars for granted?

BY KYLE HANSEN

The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona men’s basketball season has been finished for almost two weeks and talk of next season might be hotter than that when the actual basketball season was unfolding. Head coach Sean Miller is well on his way to a Kentucky-esque recruiting class. Three five-star recruits are on their way to Tucson while two more in Josh Jackson and Terrance Ferguson are strongly considering the Wildcats. This news has been a blessing to Arizona fans, who after the de-commitment of fivestar big man T.J. Leaf, were desperate for any signs of life for the class of 2016. Now, the question to be asked is: Have Arizona fans become spoiled with five-star recruits? The high expectation that comes with the Arizona basketball program is fair in

large part due to its storied and successful history. The founding fathers, both players and coaches, created a culture that demands excellence. It’s the same way at Duke, Kentucky, Syracuse and Michigan State, among others. If those before you won, then you better win too. But a certain line is crossed once a fan base expects certain things to happen. What if the Wildcats hadn’t gotten commitments from Lauri Markkanen, Rawle Alkins or Kobi Simmons? What if Jackson and Ferguson weren’t strongly considering Arizona? Would fans be as excited for next year, or would it be seen as a lost cause? This past season is already in the rearview for many fans. Yes, the Wildcats were ousted quickly, but moments within the season shouldn’t be overlooked, particularly the completion of the accomplished college careers of Gabe York and Kaleb Tarczewski. Fans need to appreciate what they have while it’s there. Five-star or not, you never know for certain what the outcome will be. The Wildcats experienced that early Monday morning. Four-star freshman guard Justin Simon announced he is transferring

from the Arizona basketball program after completing his first and only season. Having seen time in 24 games throughout the season, the guard averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds per game while averaging about seven-and-a-half minutes per game. Simon’s departure was to be expected. Most of the recruits Miller is bringing in range from the 1-3 positional range and it was difficult seeing him getting additional playing time in the near future. When he arrived, though, Simon had arguably as much hype as any other big name recruit who steps on campus. A 6-foot-5 point guard who is athletic and plays defense just as Arizona was losing its starting point guard of two years? People get excited just like that. After seeing his sole season end up on the bench, Simon didn’t quite live up to the expectation. Is all of it his fault? No. Some of this season was in his control and some was not. That’s sports. But now that he’s gone, fans are moving on as if he never existed. It’s not that he didn’t exist; his situation just didn’t allow him to prove himself. Even former five-star forward Grant

Jerrett, whom some of you may be too young to remember, never blossomed into a star. In his lone season for the Wildcats, Jerrett played in 34 games in the 2012-2013 season—starting in only two—and averaged 5.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, before bolting for the NBA. Not everyone works out as planned. Fans should be excited about these recruits. There’s enough highlight videos of these kids circulating that it’s impossible not to feel the fresh idea of a deep tournament run for next season, and the Wildcats have a strong potential to do just that with this class coming in. But Arizona fans need to appreciate what they have regardless and can’t forget those who came and went so easily. It’s difficult to not enjoy being spoiled with some of the best recruits in the country year in and year out. But enjoy everyone and don’t move on so quickly. If this season taught us anything, it’s that you never know what the future will hold. — Follow Kyle Hansen @k_hansen42

Women’s basketball coaching search drags on BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

It has almost been a month since the Arizona women’s basketball program parted ways with former head coach Niya Butts, but the program has yet to hire her replacement. “Despite a hectic couple of weeks, the search for our next head women’s basketball coach has been at the top of my priority list and I’m excited to let you know the process should be coming to a close within the next few weeks,” Vice President of Arizona Athletics Greg Byrne wrote in his Wildcat Wednesday blog. The job has generated plenty of interest and the program has interviewed a wide variety of candidates, but is in the process of zeroing in on its best option. “We’ve been really pleased with the level of interest and we did want to be respectful of those coaches still competing,” Byrne wrote. “But, we’re getting to the point where we’re narrowing in on our choice.” It is not known specifically who the candidates are, but two candidates thought to be in the discussion are Julie Hairgrove and Todd Holthaus. Hairgrove, the granddaughter of Arizona men’s basketball coaching legend Lute

Olson and a UA alumna, is currently an assistant coach for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury. She has been on the Mercury’s coaching staff since 2005 and was a four-year starter on the Arizona women’s basketball team before that. “I grew up in McKale Center, being a ball kid,” Hairgrove told The Arizona Republic. “I was out on recruiting trips, in people’s houses. I was always around. So I think that had a huge part—all I knew was basketball.” Holthaus, meanwhile, is the current head coach of the Pima Community College women’s basketball team. He has been in the position for nine seasons, compiling a 194-98 overall record and turning Pima Community College’s women’s basketball program into one of the top teams among junior colleges. “Pima Community College’s rise as a national power in women’s college basketball is no longer a novelty,” wrote Greg Hansen of the Arizona Daily Star. “It’s almost taken for granted that the Aztecs will win 20 or more games in the [Arizona Community College Athletic Conference], which is probably the nation’s top juniorcollege basketball conference.

Before arriving at Pima, Holthaus was an assistant coach for the Arizona women’s basketball team from 2005 to 2007, where he was responsible for post player development, recruiting, scouting and floor work. Nonetheless, it’s possible that neither Hairgrove nor Holthaus will be Arizona’s next women’s basketball coach. The program was expected to search far and wide for the next women’s basketball head coach, trying to find the perfect candidate, and it’s very possible neither will get the job. Regardless, a resolution should be reached shortly. “We hope to make an announcement soon,” Byrne wrote. The Arizona women’s basketball team finished with a 13-19 record in the 20152016 season and has not had a winning season since the 2010-2011 season.

UA baseball can build off UCLA series victory BY ROSS OLSON

The Daily Wildcat

P

ac-12 Conference play is just getting rolling, but the Arizona Wildcats baseball team has made it known that it will be a force in the league for the rest of the yearn. The Wildcats may not have shown it in the first series of conference play against Washington, where they lost two out of three despite accumulating 24 runs over three games against the Huskies. However, they sent a message to the rest of the Pac-12 this weekend against then No. 23 UCLA. The Bruins are known for always being competitive in the Pac-12 with a replenishment of high-caliber recruits and a coaching staff that knows how to get the best out of its players. In particular, the Bruins have top-notch pitchers who know how to pitch effectively and strategically—a trait that stems from head coach John Savage, who led the Bruins to a national championship in 2013. This season is no different as the Bruins’ rotation consists of three above-average arms that will almost certainly be signing professional contracts in the near future. The Wildcats got the best out of Thursday night starter Griffin Canning, tagging him for six runs on 10 hits over 6.2 innings of work. It didn’t hurt that Arizona ace JC Cloney only allowed one run in a complete-game effort, while striking out seven and walking only one. “[Cloney] had all four pitches working: fastball, changeup, curveball, slider and he was in and out when he wanted to be,” Arizona head coach Jay Johnson said after Friday’s win. “It was a great performance.” The lone loss of the series for the Wildcats

came Friday night against one of the toughest pitchers in the Pac-12, Grant Dyer, who went the distance in his outting against Arizona. Dyer gave up two earned runs while striking out seven in the complete game. Johnson did not hesitate to acknowledge the kind of pitcher Dyer is. “I will just say he’s the best pitcher we’ve seen to this point,” Johnson said. “And we’ve seen some good ones.” The highlight of the weekend, however, came in a miraculous comeback victory Saturday afternoon in which the Wildcats were down four runs in the ninth and came back to win the game thanks to a walk-off double by third-basemen Bobby Dalbec. The Wildcats played with heavy hearts that Saturday afternoon as they honored 17-yearold Josh Weaver who passed away from cancer before the season began. Weaver grew close to the Wildcats baseball program prior to the season. Arizona paid tribute to him by displaying a special pregame video made by the players before his dad threw out the first pitch. It was only right that the Wildcats won in improbable fashion on the day where they honored their friend who made an impact on everyone in the program from top to bottom. “I don’t know what to say,” Johnson said after the game. “I’ve been a part of a lot of good wins, that’s about as special as they get.” The Wildcats will travel to Salt Lake City to take on Utah this weekend in what should be another competitive Pac-12 series. The Utes are coming off a series win over ASU and have not lost a Pac-12 series yet, as they won two out of three against Oregon in the first series of conference play. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday night in Salt Lake. — Follow Ross Olson @RossOlson95

The inside scoop on D.C. news What is it like to work in D.C. news? The Daily Wildcat spoke with two employees of the news organization POLITICO to get the inside view

BY Sammy Cherukuri The Daily Wildcat

Journalism has long served as a gateway to the public, offering endless communities information through newspapers, television and other avenues. Understanding the different positions, challenges and experiences of current experts from a department of a major news corporation, POLITICO, can help UA students of all majors learn the importance of journalism and the media world. POLITICO is based in Arlington County, Virginia, and covers all aspects of politics, including the people, current events and the U.S.’s global role. POLITICO produces online content, plus content for television, radio and a magazine. This modern company has built a reputation on breaking away from traditional, “old-school” journalism and offers audiences Internet-accessible features such as the POLITICO Playbook, and connection through social media via Facebook, Twitter and Google+. POLITICO, like any other major news corporation, possesses a colorful and diverse staff team. Many people presume that a job in journalism only entails reporting or editing. In truth, behind all of the writing, business, marketing and advertising play a major role. The Daily Wildcat spoke with two employees of POLITICO who explained their diverse roles and experiences. First up is Meredith McPhillips, the managing director of business development at POLITICO. McPhillips said she enjoys incorporating an agency perspective within the media arena. She currently collaborates with clients and agencies in order to build strong communication relations and journalism advocacy programs through the use of the web, newspapers, magazines and major events.

Daily Wildcat: What steps could prospective students, like UA journalism majors, take in order to get their foot in the door? McPhillips: “For me, gaining well-rounded experience became my strategy. It might also prove beneficial to visit the old school newsrooms and gain that mental picture. I interned at CNN, and I was trying to understand the TV and news broadcasting field. I wanted to see how it all worked. It is always helpful to have a foundation in something that is considered old school. Leveraging internships are also a great way to grasp some of that much needed experience.” Nick Yaeger, managing director at POLITICO, expressed his enthusiasm for his contributing role within the corporation. Yaeger aids in the management of POLITICO FOCUS, a brand journalism and data studio that strives for innovation. What qualities does it take to emerge as a leader in the news industry? Yaeger: “Empathy … It’s really important on the business side, but also very important on the internal side. If you’re a reporter or a salesperson, your ability to understand and really appreciate the pressures, constraints and opportunities that you find exciting can make a difference. Being an empathetic leader within a media company is huge, it makes you relatable. You cannot place yourself on an ivory tower, and our industry has a history of ivory tower mentality and of leadism. Corporate executives looked down on the lower offices. As an effective leader, you have to sit across the table from someone, look them in the eyes and understand the many different elements that make that person, that person. Then, and only then, can you start to take your vision and relate it to them in a way that’s authentic.”

U.S Navy Photographer

Aerial view of the Washington Monument with the Capitol in the background. POLITICO is a news organization that frequently reports on stories in the D.C. area.

Both McPhillips and Yaeger exhibited a passion for their roles within the company. With thoughtful answers and years of experience, McPhillips and Yaeger act as a portal between the corporate side of the news industry and prospective UA students. Journalism, along with its marketing and advertising, has been branded as a shrinking field due to social media and Internet outlets.

Media corporations such as POLITICO strive to fight against this by working with the changing times in order to keep journalism alive and well. To learn more, visit www.politico.com

Time to analyze the candidates’ walk-up anthems BY CHRISTIANNA SILVA The Daily Wildcat

As much as many would like to believe political races are all about politics, branding is just as important to win that seat in the oval office. President Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can” set a fire through his supporters and no one can look at an “H” and an arrow without thinking about Hillary Clinton’s current campaign. Just like major-league baseball players heading to bat, every presidential candidate has a walk-up song.

WARNER BROS. RECORDS

ATLANTIC RECORDS

Bernie Sanders

Sanders is quite possibly the candidate with the best branding. His walk up song is “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps because of its repeating “B[e]rn Baby B[e] rn.” The song reinforces his supporters “feeling the Bern” and sets in stone the idea that supporting him is setting a fire for a political revolution.

Hillary Clinton

Clinton’s current campaign is all about branding her femininity, drilling in the fact that, if elected, she would be the first woman president. Clinton jams out to “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan as her walk-up song. Just like every candidate this election, Clinton has attempted to separate herself from the political establishment, and utilizing her womanhood is her best shot to do so.

ONE day of no-holds-barRED FUN!

REPRISE RECORDS

Donald Trump

Trump has faced obstacles with his walk-up song. When he first announced his candidacy, Trump used “Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young, a well-known liberal activist who was not happy with his music being used to support Trump. Young demanded Trump stop playing his music before offering it up to Sanders for use. Later, Trump tried to use Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” and “Skyfall”, only to have her demand Trump stop using her songs. R.E.M. and Aerosmith also joined the ranks in denying Trump access to their music. At his rally in Tucson, Trump walked-up to “Space Jam” by Quad City DJs.

UNIVERSAL/REPUBLIC RECORDS

Ted Cruz

Cruz wears cowboy boots and talks about his country roots, so it’s no surprise that he continues his country branding with “Wave on Wave” by Pat Green. The song was also used by George W. Bush in his re-election campaign—a safe choice for the Republican candidate.

FUELED BY RAMEN

John Kasich

Kasich is currently using “Stressed Out” by Twenty One Pilots, which couldn’t describe his campaign better. Kasich received less votes in Arizona than Marco Rubio, who had already dropped out of the race by the Arizona primary. While not a great branding technique, it might be Kasich’s way of reaching out to young voters.

Coffee fix: Where’s the cheapest place to get coffee on campus? BY TAYLOR BRESTEL The Daily Wildcat

Most college students run on coffee. The lines at the library Starbucks stretch out the door in the morning, the afternoon and the evening. There seems to be no end to the amount of students buying lattes and iced coffee and trying to stay awake in class after a long night of studying—or binge-watching “The Office.” The Student Union Memorial Center has several different coffee shops: Starbucks, Einstein Bros. Bagels, CC’s Coffee House and even Burger King. But which of these options is the cheapest? While each venue offers a variety of different options, like a frappuccino from Starbucks or a frozen hazelnut mocha at Einstein’s, they all have one thing in common: iced coffee. Price per ounce will be used to determine the cheapest coffee on campus because a cheaper price per

Einstein Bros. Bagels: Iced Coffee Medium – 16 fluid ounce, $2.09 = $0.13 per ounce

ounce means cheaper coffee overall. It’s not surprising that the large coffees had the best value and possessed the smallest price per ounce. As you can see from the results below, it’s clear that the winner of cheapest coffee on campus goes to Einstein’s, although Burger King is not all that far behind. Comparing medium sizes, Einstein’s cost $0.13 per ounce, $0.14 per ounce at Burger King, and $0.18 per ounce at Starbucks and CC’s Coffee House. For those with spare money to burn, Starbucks and CC’s Coffee House remain the most expensive across all sizes.

Seven Falls Trail in Sabino Canyon takes hikers on a journey through the rugged and natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Nestled at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, the entrance to Sabino Canyon takes only 30 minutes to reach by car from campus. Sabino Canyon and the foothills in northeast Tucson overlook the city and possess a lush desert environment—a refreshing change of scenery from urban Tucson. “I had no idea a waterfall like this existed in Tucson,” said Nick Carrera, a public health sophomore. “[It’s] definitely one of the best hikes I’ve done in Arizona.” Relatively flat and long, Seven Falls is about eight miles round trip, but taking the tram from the

parking lot to the trailhead can cut off half of the length. Many locals flock to Seven Falls, so don’t expect to hike alone on the weekends. The other hikers don’t distract though, as the hike allows for plenty of offtrail exploration. Seven Falls takes at least three hours to conquer, but has no major inclines or rocky paths. Freshly bloomed flowers illuminate the trail and a bountiful amount of saguaro cactuses, among other unique desert plant life, surround the entire area. The Catalina Mountains serve as a majestic backdrop for this breathtaking hike. Unlike some of the hikes closer to the UA and the city center, Seven Falls takes hikers to a picturesque oasis that proves Southern Arizona is much more than tumbleweeds and trail dust towns. Although it’s fairly dry right now,

after big rains and during monsoon season the creeks return. Since the trail doesn’t require much rigorous hiking, most visitors move at a casual pace. The hike develops into a long single path of twisting turns and hidden creeks following the trailhead. A series of switchbacks meets hikers with half a mile left until the end of the trail. These switchbacks lead up to the base of a series of seven waterfalls, the crown jewel and namesake of the hike. A narrow path takes hikers up to the cascade of stones that with enough water, turn into flowing waterfalls gushing down from the top of the mountains. The falls descend down into several pools of water. Other hikers often populate the area around the falls, exploring and jumping off rocks into the pools. Despite the fervent human

energy buzzing around the water, the secluded area around the falls creates a tranquil environment. Even on a busy weekend at the falls, the open spaces provide hikers the opportunity to lay down on the rocks, relax and listen to the sound of running water. The falls only had a light flow of water this time, but after a heavy rain, a powerful flow of water rushes down them. Since the hike has no major inclines, the return doesn’t feel like a steep descent and gives hikers more opportunities to explore. Seven Falls at Sabino Canyon is a quintessential Tucson hike that caters to any level of experience.
