A film written, directed and produced by a UA alumnus and filmmaker was announced as Best Arizona Feature at the 2015 Phoenix International Film Festival on Sunday.

“It’s about a filmmaker trying to break into the filmmaking business by making a documentary about classic volkswagens, when life happens,” said Darious Britt , producer, writer and director of “Unsound.” “Essentially, his mom suffers another

psychotic episode, so he’s got to resort to extreme measures to get her to health.”

Britt said he began writing “Unsound” before he graduated from the UA School of Theatre, Film and Television in 2012 . He said the film is about 93 minutes long

and was inspired by true events.

“A month after I graduated from the UA, I started shooting it,” Britt said. “Over the course of the next year, I was still shooting it. It took a yearand-[a]-half to write it, a year to shoot it and I was editing it for about six

Several panelists will discuss the hardships of being women in anthropology, their research and experiences in the field, as well as balancing family and work, today in the UA Main Library at 6 p.m.

Among the panelists is Mary Voyatzis, a UA professor with a focus in archeology, whose research focuses on Ancient Greek classics.

“When I first started at [the University of Pennsylvania], it was a college for women,” Voyatzis said, “so it was something kind of new. … So, if I would have wanted to go to any of these places to study archeology, I couldn’t have.”

Voyatzis described the difficulty of being a mother and archeologist.

“It’s not always been easy,” she said. “… Going out into the field with your children is very difficult … especially when they were little. … That can be a strain on a family.”

Jennifer Roth-Gordon, a linguistics and cultural anthropology professor, has been studying the use of language amongst the lowerand upper-class in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Gordon is working on a book project about “how people use language to interpret social and racial messages about others, and how this then contributes to a larger social and … racial hierarchy.”

Gordon also emphasized that her interest for anthropology stems from

an opportunity to get close to your fellow classmates; it was with them that I made the film,” Britt said. “I also obviously learned a lot about film, about how to make films and how to think critically about them, and how to think critically about your own work as well. So, I guess many of the skill sets that came from UA were mainly how to assess your work and think objectively so that you can get better.”

Victoria Westover, director of the Hanson Film Institute at the UA, said UA staff and faculty helped Britt with the film. She said one of the main actors is a theater professor at the UA, another actor was one of Britt’s film professors, and a UA staff member was the cinematographer for the film.

“Darious had a very clear vision of what he wanted to do,” Westover said. “This was his feature debut, and he really was ready to do it alone and call the shots. The faculty that were working with him were actually being directed by him.”

Britt said he and his team have been on the film festival circuit for about a year, and “Unsound” has won a total of six awards. The film won the Directors Choice Humanitarian Award at the 21st annual Sedona Film Festival and Best Director at the 23rd annual Pan African Film Festival in February, as well as Best Arizona Film at the Prescott Film Festival in 2014.

Britt said a complication he ran into while working on his film occurred when he began to cast the character roles. He said the talent pool in Arizona was somewhat limited.

“It’s not like [Los Angeles] where there’s a ton of actors everywhere,” Britt said. “Casting the lead role, To-Ree-Nee Wolf, was particularly difficult.

I had about three options in all of Tucson, Arizona.

The African-American community here is pretty nil. On top of that, if you’re talking to African-American actors, to get a 50-year-old woman, it’s like looking for a unicorn, practically.”

She said she based her study for her second research project on where her kids were, a private school in the wealthy South Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

According to Gordon, she was able to combine her roles of being an anthropologist and a mother. She said this project could be referred to as “native anthropology,” which is when the researcher shares several similarities with their subjects.

“My perspective as a mother was helpful,” Gordon said. “My research topic helped facilitate my needing to combine work and parenting duties — which is a constant struggle, not only for female academics with children but especially for anthropologists.”

Navajo nation taxes junk food TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

On a weekday shopping trip to the only real grocery store for 30 miles, Ann Neagle paused before a bag of Red Delicious apples, $7 for a dozen, plus a new discount — the Navajo Nation lifted the 5 percent sales tax on fresh fruits and vegetables.

That’s the carrot in the tribe’s attempt to curb rampant obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Next comes the stick: a 2 percent tax on junk food.

That tax, the first of its kind nationwide, will hit one of the most economically depressed areas in the country, where more than 40 percent of people are unemployed. Neagle is worried.

“Less money for fruits is nice, but it doesn’t even out,” she said. “For people on a fixed income, we can’t afford things to get more expensive.”

She’s not alone. About 42 percent of the Navajo Nation lives below the federal poverty line. For many in the tribe, a limited budget and few stores to choose from — the U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared parts of the vast reservation a food desert — mean gas stations and convenience stores are their primary grocers.

For the $7 she could spend on a dozen apples, Neagle, 54, could stretch her dollar further in the prepared and processed food aisles: $7 would buy more than 30 boxes of Maruchan Ramen Noodles or seven Banquet Frozen Dinners and Meals — one of which carried 480 calories and one-third of the daily dietary recommendations for sodium and fat.

The tribe hasn’t set a date for the tax to go into effect. A tribal tax commission still has to give its final approval, but that step is viewed as a formality.

Nailing down what is and isn’t junk food hasn’t been easy. Tribal council members said soft drink industry lobbyists urged them keep soda and sports drinks out of the legislation.

They resisted, and now those drinks join a host of foods designated as “minimal-tono nutritional value food.” They define that as sweetened beverages and snacks high in salt, saturated fat and sugar. In practice, that encompasses predictable items such as frozen desserts, fried food, potato chips and candy.

But the act also targets diet soda, fruit juice, nuts and sugar-free Jell-O. It is up for reauthorization in 2020.

“It’s not going to do anything except make it more expensive,” said Preston Yazzie, 20. “I’ll still buy chips or whatever. But maybe it’ll help some people.”

One mile from the Navajo tribal council chambers, at the Arizona-based chain Bashas’ Grocery on tribal land, most of the items at the front of the store and advertised in the weekly circular would be subject to the new tax.

Shoppers “go crazy for those Hot Cheetos,” a grocery clerk said.

concerned community health advocate Denisa Livingston enough that she led tribal government officials on tours to show the dearth of healthy inventory.

“When people would fly to other places, they’d bring back [nonperishable] food from Whole Foods or healthy places,” Livingston said.

“That was their best access to anything that wasn’t really bad for them.”

The people who live here understand the problem. A Navajo Nation survey found 74 percent of people on the reservation think health problems are caused by lack of healthy food.

“It’s just gotten worse and worse,” Livingston said.

To understand how the Navajo Nation got here, it’s important to understand its relationship with food.

Navajo society was for a time largely agrarian, a fact reflected in part of the Navajo creation story: A starving people from another world were met by a turkey, who shook out four corn kernels from beneath its wings, saving them.

Proponents hope the junk food tax will mark a turning point for the nation’s largest tribe.

Revenue will go into a community health fund to pay for infrastructure improvements on the reservation and educational programming.

Cuba, US discuss human rights TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MIAMI — The latest round in the U.S.-Cuba rapprochement gets underway Tuesday when the two countries meet in Washington to discuss the potentially divisive issue of human rights.

A State Department spokesperson said the two sides will “discuss the methodology and structure of future human rights talks,” so no major developments are expected.

But even getting agreement on the substance for future talks could prove difficult because the two countries have strikingly different views on what constitutes respect for human rights.

Tom Malinowski, assistant secretary for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, will lead the U.S. delegation.

Cuba, which announced the meeting last Thursday — a day before the U.S. — didn’t specify who would be heading its delegation.

The U.S. has long been critical of Cuba’s policy of jailing dissidents and activists for exercising basic civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and assembly, as well as its treatment of political prisoners.

“This preliminary meeting reflects our continued focus on human rights and democratic principles in Cuba,” said the State Department spokesperson. “Human rights are, and will continue to be, a priority.”

Cuba, on the other hand, tends to view human rights more from a prism of quality of life and has said its health activism around the world is an example of its concern for human rights. The Cubans also want the opportunity to discuss the United States’ human rights record and to bring up issues such as excessive use of force by American police officers, poverty and racism in applying the death penalty.

Cuba proposed the human rights dialogue, and when it repeated its call for such a meeting in January, the U.S. quickly agreed. But U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Roberta Jacobson has said human rights “is the area of the most profound disagreement” between the two countries.

“These talks are an indication of Cuba’s willingness to address any topic with the U.S., despite our differences, based on equality and

reciprocity,” Pedro Luis Pedroso, Cuba’s Foreign Ministry deputy director for multilateral affairs and international law, told reporters in Havana.

But at the same time, he said, Cuba is “conscious of our profound differences with the government of the United States in terms of political systems, democracy, human rights and international law.”

The human rights dialogue is part of a process that began Dec. 17 when Cuba and the U.S. announced they were working toward re-establishing diplomatic relations and reopening embassies after a deep freeze of more than 50 years in the countries’ relationship.

There already have been dialogues between the two former adversaries on civil aviation, human trafficking and a telecommunications opening proposal by the U.S. to improve telecommunication and Internet links between the two countries.

A U.S. delegation led by Daniel Sepulveda, the coordinator for international communications and information policy, was in Havana for 48 hours last week.

A senior State Department official said in a briefing Monday that Cuba said its goals were the same as those outlined by the United Nations: 50 percent household Internet penetration by 2020 and 60 percent mobile penetration by 2020.

Cuba isn’t starting from zero in terms of connectivity, but the Cubans know they are behind, said the official. Lack of Internet access is depriving the Cuban people of knowledge, the official added.

Financing telecom equipment from the U.S. could be an issue for Cuba, the official said, who added there is “real potential” for U.S. telecom and Internet companies in Cuba “as long as there is a will on the Cuban side.”

The next step in the process will be the exchange of papers on Cuban and U.S. proposals.

SANAA, Yemen — Apparent aerial bombardment hit a camp for displaced persons near the Saudi border Monday, killing dozens of people, aid workers said, as a Saudi-led coalition pounded rebel positions across Yemen with airstrikes.

Panicked civilians fled Yemeni’s capital, Sanaa, as thunderous bombing runs, answered by antiaircraft fire, shook the city overnight and again Monday afternoon. In the country’s south, rebel Shiite Muslim Houthis fought their way to the outskirts of the port city of Aden, the country’s commercial hub.

Outside Aden, Houthi fighters and their allies for the first time came under naval bombardment as they advanced on the city, the Reuters news agency reported.

Egypt, which last week had dispatched warships to the area, did not immediately confirm whether its forces had carried out the strikes.

Yemen has spiraled into chaos amid the Houthi offensive, which began last year but has sharply intensified in recent weeks. The capital, Sanaa, fell to the Shiite Muslim rebels months ago, and the Houthis launched a major offensive targeting Aden after Western-backed President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi took refuge there.

Hadi was forced to flee the country last week, and most foreign embassies have been shuttered, with some Adenbased diplomats plucked to safety by sea.

In Sanaa, airstrike targets included an encampment of an elite military unit that has sided with the Houthis, located in the hills near the presidential palace, witnesses said. Other strikes took place in Marib province, east of Sanaa and home to electrical installations that power the capital, and in the country’s south, according to officials and witnesses.

In Hajjah province, which borders Saudi Arabia, bombardment hit the Muzraq camp in the district of Haradh, aid workers said.

Casualty counts varied, with some reports saying up to 45 people had been killed.

Mogib Hassan, a spokesman in Sanaa for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, reported dead and wounded numbered in the dozens and said the agency “strongly condemned” the attacks.

A Yemeni journalist in Haradh, Mohammed Kbsi, said he believed the Saudis had mistaken the concentration of displaced people for Houthi forces. The U.N. said it was working to relocate the camp’s inhabitants to a safer area.

With fighting raging across Yemen, Arab leaders meeting in Egypt over the weekend declared their intention to form a joint Arab military force in response to the Yemen crisis and other regional conflicts.

Monday marked the fifth day of airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition.

Saudi Arabia shares a long land border with Yemen.

Though it is the Arab world’s poorest country, Yemen is strategically crucial because of its position at the tip of the Arabian peninsula alongside key shipping lanes.

The Saudi-led strikes have been targeting warplanes, weaponry and airbases that had fallen into Houthi hands, according to the Saudi military. Hadi’s rival, deposed strongman Ali Abdullah Saleh, is aligned with the Houthis, but elements of Yemen’s military remain loyal to the former leader. That has given the rebels access to heavy weapons and bases to use as a springboard, powering their offensive against Hadi loyalists.

Analysts warn that the conflict has already taken on dangerous sectarian dimensions. The Houthis are backed by Shiite Muslim Iran, and Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia is seeking to check growing Iranian power in the region.

Marriage not same as LGBT equality

BY GENESIS LARA

The Daily Wildcat

J

ust as it was beginning to feel like the U.S. was taking a great step toward equality for the LGBTQ community with same-sex marriages, the nation decided to take two steps back: A new law in Indiana allows businesses to discriminate against gay people.

This newly opened window for hate crimes is being justified as a way of protecting citizens’ freedom of religion. But the protection of religious freedom does not consist of allowing hatred and discrimination against a certain group of people.

We always see headlines about new states that have passed same-sex marriage bills, but we aren’t often informed of those events in which a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning person was beaten or killed.

For example, on Feb. 11, the Daily Mail reported that a college football player in Texas murdered his girlfriend after finding out she was transgender. How could it be that such a hate crime did not make headlines across the nation? Was it not important to discuss how the state’s hate crime law did not protect the victim?

According to the Movement Advancement Project, while many states’ hate crime laws now protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, there are still 15 states that only cover sexual orientation and 14 states that don’t cover either.

What kind of message is this sending out to the general public? As a society, we are always striving toward racial equality or women’s rights.

Yet, when it comes to matters of equality among the LGBTQ community, we only practice hypocrisy.

“A lot of people fear that they have to hide who they are,” said Chris Sogge, the LGBTQ Affairs graduate assistant. “It’s like [the] paranoia of living a double life.”

Having friends who are afraid to come out due to the verbal abuse they’ll encounter, it terrifies me even more that they may also become targets for physically violent hate crimes.

It is a relief to know there are pride organizations to help people in the LGBTQ community build resilience toward physical and emotional abuse. However, this just goes to show how normal it has become for the LGBTQ community to suffer from discrimination. So normal, there are hundreds of organizations across the nation that exist to help with these traumatic experiences.

As reported by The Washington Post, there are many countries around the world where homosexuality is still punishable by statesanctioned death, including Iran, Yemen and Mauritania.

“The United States is a big contributor in other cultures,” Sogge said, “but that just means that we have to set a really good standard here.”

With fairly recent accomplishments regarding same-sex marriage, the U.S. is slowly becoming more inclusive of the LGBTQ community, but that is not enough.

We live in a country known for its liberty and freedom; yet, thousands are afraid to express their true identities.

It is time we stop making social norms out of hatred and violence.

AZ deadly force bill is worst possible reaction to Ferguson

BY MADDIE PICKENS The Daily Wildcat

T

he Arizona state Legislature recently passed a bill that would keep the names of police officers involved in the use of deadly or excessive force secret for 60 days. All that remains for Senate Bill 1445 to become law is for the governor to sign it.

The argument made by proponents of the bill is that it would essentially provide a “cooling-off” period to prevent potential tension against police officers from interfering with the justice process, and to keep defenders of the law safe.

However, this purpose doesn’t make sense for several reasons.

On a local level, Arizona already has legislation in place to deal with the issue of identifying officers who have used deadly or excessive force. Officers’ home addresses and telephone numbers are already exempt from disclosure under state public records law, making it easier to

defend officers and their families.

Additionally, the decision of whether or not to withhold the name, and for how long, is left up to the discretion of the police chiefs located in the area where the incident occurred.

This policy actually makes a lot of sense. Leaving the decision up to local authority means that individuals making the decisions are intimately familiar with the area and could recognize if releasing the name would endanger the officer.

However, the new law would limit this power on both ends. If for some reason the police chief believed the release of the name needed to be restricted for more than 60 days, S.B. 1445 would remove that power. NBC News quotes the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police as opposing the bill, because it takes this control away from department heads.

Perhaps more importantly, however, the bill mandates that officer names be concealed, regardless of whether this is technically necessary in the context of the situation.

In most — if not all — cases, in fact, the concealing of the

name is not necessary. House Representative Charlene Fernandez explained her decision to vote “no.”

“This bill was designed to protect an officer and the officers’ family,” Fernandez said. “However, there is not one documented case of officer vandalism to his home or harassment to his family after an incident relating to deadly or excessive use of force. … This bill was clearly a solution to a problem that does not exist.”

This bill will bring Arizona out of line with national standards, and it will interfere with the goals of Arizona’s law enforcement leaders. Yet, that is in no way the most problematic part of the bill.

The decision of a police officer to harm a civilian is one of incredible gravity. It represents an irreversible expression of government power. Transparency should be the name of the game — not policies that will hinder checks on the power of law enforcement agencies.

After all, the authority figures given the legal right to take a life should be the ones held to the highest standard of public

accountability, not the lowest.

Moreover, this bill seems almost laughable in the face of the current wave of instances of unnecessary deadly force.

Whether or not police officers are abusing their power, cases such as the Ferguson shooting and Michael Brown’s strangulation are instances where that boundary was sketchy at best. Taking away the aspect of transparency provided when releasing the names of the officers involved is a surefire way to reduce public trust in law enforcement and lead to further corruption and abuse of power.

Frankly, S.B. 1445 won’t improve the safety of officers, because reducing the public’s trust in the police reduces their legitimacy. Jeopardizing the public’s trust of the police ultimately reduces everyone’s safety. We should be working to restore this trust, not block it with fancy legislation.

US has right not to endorse Confederacy speech law.

“Free speech doctrine is especially concerned about ‘viewpoint discrimination,’” she said. “So, if the state allows one message, it cannot deny access to another on the same subject matter that expresses a different viewpoint.”

But if the government, or a government entity, is the one making the speech, then certain guidelines are legally allowed to be in place. This comes from a distinction between “public forum speech,” which rarely allows for the limiting of speech, and “limited forum”/“government speech,” which carries much different rules.

Speech appearing on license plates, whether or not the government pays for it, still appears to be endorsed by the government. License plates are government issued, therefore making any messages that appear on them implicitly supported by the government.

The Supreme Court needs to hold up the distinction between speech from a government entity and speech from a private citizen or business.

The Confederate flag, although historic, carries a racist significance obvious to many Americans. It represents an institution that supported the legal enslavement of AfricanAmericans and purported a philosophy of racial hierarchy in every facet of society.

The state of Texas — or any government — has a right not to promote a message that evokes racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or other hateful speech. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, then any group including neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan or

lthough a seemingly simple and agreeable issue, freedom of speech has proven itself to be a tricky conundrum for governments and citizens alike. The latest complication stems from the Sons of Confederate Veterans, who wish to fund and sponsor a Texas license plate with the Confederate flag. The United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments last week in the case of the Texas Sons of Confederate Veterans suing for this right.

The case began when the Sons of Confederate Veterans approached the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles with a design for a Confederate flag specialty license plate.

Citing offensive public association with the symbol, the Texas DMV denied the design.

The Sons were outraged and challenged the DMV’s refusal as an attack on their freedom of speech.

On its surface, one may be inclined toward legal support for the Sons of Confederate Veterans’ position. If the group is paying for the license plates and requires no government appropriations, then why should it not be allowed? Although we may disagree with the message, who are we or the Texas DMV to determine what can and cannot be on a private citizen’s car?

Speaking with Toni Massaro of the James E. Rogers College of Law, however, revealed some crucial distinctions in the field of free

other extremist groups should have the legal authority to draft their own license plates as long as they pay extra fees.

These groups should have the right to express their views, but the government also has the right to reject putting these sentiments on official state speech.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the State of Texas, other political and controversial license plates may be recalled.

For example, Arizona allowed pro-life license plates in 2009 in a similar debate.

The case was ensnared in a six-year legal battle, but if this ruling goes against the Sons of Confederate Veterans, there could be renewed efforts to disallow a license plate with barefaced political speech.

This is a difficult tightrope to walk. Either way, advocates could make a slippery slope argument. We don’t want a government that can limit free speech, but we don’t want obviously offensive messaging on government forums.

Although this dilemma is complicated, the court can and should rule in favor of Texas. Government-sponsored speech has a right not to publish text it deems offensive to groups of people within society, but it cannot limit private speech.

“Our constitutional values here collide,” Massaro said. “We care deeply about free speech, but we also understand it is not absolute in all contexts.”

POLICE BEAT

BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

King of the hill

A UA employee observed a suspicious man on Tumamoc Hill on March 7 at 1:45 p.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was told by the employee the man was involved in an incident the day before.

He said he and another employee were working late in their lab on the hill. The other employee left at about 7:10 p.m. She sent her coworker a text message warning him of people on the hill. One man banged on her vehicle hood and yelled at her to slow down.

After receiving the message, the employee heard pounding on his office door. When he got up to answer, the man began yelling and screaming to tell the “idiot” in the white car to slow down and that they were driving too fast down the hill. The two men argued for a few minutes, because the employee kept telling the individual to leave.

The individual eventually left, and the employee contacted the other to find out if this man was the same person that banged on her car.

The officer asked the employee if his office was locked when the man bursted in, and he said it wasn’t. He encouraged him to lock his office even when working normal business hours. The officer also advised him to contact UAPD if there were any further concerns or issues.

Suspended

A vehicle was seen speeding at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and Sixth Street on March 7 at 6 a.m.

A UAPD officer was traveling southbound on Euclid Avenue when a 1993 gold Saturn car began to accelerate once the light turned green. The vehicle was going 45 mph in a 30 mph zone.

The officer stopped the car west of Euclid Avenue and 10th Street.

The non-UA-affiliated man in the vehicle admitted to speeding while the officer asked him for his license, registration and proof of insurance.

“I’m going to be honest with you,” he said. “I know I was speeding, but I’m just trying to get to work.”

He also said his license was suspended and handed the officer an Arizona ID card.

He told the man his vehicle needed to be impounded for 30 days. The man said he had his vehicle impounded before for having a suspended license. He gave the officer his car key before the tow truck arrived.

The man was cited and released for driving with a suspended license and for speeding.

UA looks for Wilson’s backup

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football has seen plenty of running back Nick Wilson, so they’re auditioning for his backup.

Wilson ran for 1,375 yards on 236 carries, an average of 5.8 yards per attempt, as a true freshman last season. He scored 16 touchdowns.

The Wildcats are limiting Wilson’s touches this spring as he recovers from 2014 and while they try to build more depth.

“We know Nick,” said associate head coach Calvin Magee. “He had a long, successful year; we know what he can do. So, we wanted to look at the other guys.”

The eligibility of Terris Jones-Grigsby, Wilson’s backup, ran out. JonesGrigsby ran for 567 yards in 121 carries, a 4.6 average, and three touchdowns.

Behind those two on Arizona’s 2014 rushing chart were two quarterbacks, including last season’s thirdstringer, Jerrard Randall, who

only played in five games and rushed for 110 yards on 15 carries.

Jared Baker is the returning reserve running back with the most yards. He had 99 yards on 25 attempts and two touchdowns last season, after tearing his ACL in 2013.

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said Baker has probably made the biggest strides.

Magee, who coaches running backs, said Baker has had a phenomenal spring.

“I’ve been pleased,” Magee

said about the running backs.

“In the spring, you want to see improvements and some of the smaller details stuff, and I feel like the backs, as a group, have done that. They’ve improved every day, and that’s what you want.”

Only four running backs had rushed for more yards than kicker Casey Skowron last year, who ran the ball once.

“We always just want to show what we can do,” redshirt freshman running back Jonathan Haden said.

t’s now safe to say that last year’s season is in the past for the Arizona baseball team and coach Andy Lopez. The Wildcats had only won twelve games at this time last year, and the season outlook was bleak.

The Wildcats this season have already reached the total win count from last year and have finally cracked into some rankings.

Arizona ranks No. 13 in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll, No. 22 in the USA Today/ESPN poll, No. 25 in the latest d1baseball.com rankings and No. 25 in the NCBWA poll after sweeping the Oregon Ducks over the weekend.

Arizona started its season unranked, but the Wildcats are finally receiving recognition for what they are now and not what they were last season.

Sympathy was the theme for the Arizona squad last year, considering it only won two conference series.

“It’s what I’ve been comfortable with in my lifetime,” Lopez said. “I have a saying with our guys, ‘Sympathy will kill you.’”

It’s not a dumb thing to say.

Sympathy is out the door this season with the way the team has responded.

“Sometimes, you need a good swift kick somewhere,” Lopez said.

Arizona is currently tied at second place with ASU and Cal in the Pac-12 Conference standings.

Lopez said he would make changes when the season began, so they wouldn’t have the same season as last year, but who realistically expected them to be this successful this soon?

Arizona is making a statement with six wins in a row in a strong conference.

“It’s the [Pac-12]; I don’t care what anybody says,” Lopez said. “It’s a really good conference, so I’m very happy with them.”

Anyone who covered the Arizona squad last year knows that everything

Kingdon and Leary lost an exciting third set, 15-12, to Nebraska’s No. 1 team that secured the Huskers’ win over the Wildcats.

“The block was a lot bigger than we are used to seeing,” Kingdon said. “Not being able to shoot when we’re used to hitting, so shooting is something we need to work on more.”

Arizona coach Steve Walker said the loss was a reflection of Arizona playing the other team’s brand and style of volleyball, which he says will be a message to the team moving forward.

The day was not over yet for the Wildcats, who faced off against Cal State Northridge later on Saturday. The dominance Arizona has shown most of this season returned, as they took down the Matadors 5-0.

The crowd at the courts was loud and large throughout the tournament. Several players said the home atmosphere in Tucson is the best to play in front of. The community involvement appears to be increasing, with every game drawing a larger crowd.

“We have the best kept secret in Tucson going, and we have an outstanding venue,” Walker said. “Every visiting team that comes is envious of what we have, and I think slowly but surely our crowds are getting a little bit better. I definitely want to see that trend continue.”

is different this season.

The players’ attitudes, Lopez’s attitude, the atmosphere at Hi Corbett Field and everything else varies.

“I like suiting up with guys that play hard, and they do; they play hard,” Lopez said.

USC is Arizona’s next opponent. The Trojans are 4-2 in the Pac-12 after starting the season with a 12-game win streak.

One could say USC was a threat for Arizona earlier in the season.

Both teams won their last conference series, so the matchup this weekend should be a solid one to watch. Luckily for the Wildcats, it’s a home series for them.

Arizona gathered a seasonhigh 3,609 fans in Hi Corbett Field during the Oregon series opener on Friday.

Lopez pointed something out after Sunday’s game: the improvement in the offense and the tangibles it has showed this season.

The offensive leaders for Arizona continue to be Scott Kingery and Kevin Newman, but Lopez said the burden has divided while guys such as Zach Gibbons, Jared Oliva and Ryan Aguilar have stepped up to help the offense.

He even gave credit to Cody Ramer, who played second base when Kingery was out with the flu during Friday’s game.

didn’t really have to use him at running back with the emergence of Nick, and we still had Jared come in a little a bit,” Magee said. “Terris did such a good job last year that we didn’t have to use Haden, but now he’s back to where his love is.”

Rodriguez said Jonathan Haden was doing well in the spring until he was limited by an injury.

Still, he is excited to be back at running back.

“It’s great,” he said with a laugh. “It feels great being back in my element. It just feels way more natural, and I can do what I’ve been doing my whole life now.”

Magee said he’s excited for him, that he’s doing really well and that part of the reason they recruited him was his versatility.

Jonathan Haden and Magee said that playing receiver helped him learn the offense as a true freshman.

He comes from a famous football family. Three of his brothers, Joe (Florida), Josh (Boston College) and Jordan (Toledo) played college football.

Joe Haden is an All-Pro cornerback for the Cleveland Browns and signed a five-year $68 million contract last year.

“Every day I talk to them, I call them, tell them how excited I am to be back at running back,” Jonathan Haden said, “and I just feel like this season is looking really good.”

The Arizona Wildcats’ basketball team went home empty-handed this weekend in the Elite Eight on Saturday in Los Angeles while the Arizona men’s golf squad teed off for The Goodwin in Stanford, Calif. Stanford hosted the event, and the Wildcats shot 878 total strokes (+38).

The rounds in the NCAA Tournament have nifty titles attached to them, such as the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight or Final Four. For Arizona golf this weekend in the Bay Area, the Wildcats finished in the Round of 32 in 23rd place. The only problem is that there were 24 teams in the event. It’s safe to say that Arizona coach Jim Anderson and company have hit rock-bottom this season.

“Yeah, this was a very rough tournament for us from the start, and we couldn’t set ourselves up to get the shots that we wanted in the final round,” Anderson said. “We couldn’t place the right shots to set up for birdies, and that really hurt us all weekend.”

In early March, Anderson made changes in the starting lineup in San Diego by using four freshmen and the lone senior, Alex McMahon. Arizona then finished in seventh place and held a promising future with a Fab Four.

The only freshmen that competed for Arizona this weekend were George Cunningham and Peter Koo. “We went with more experience this weekend, but if we have to compete with youth after qualifiers for ASU, then we’ll do that,” Anderson said.

“We’ve made a few changes already this season, so we are definitely capable of doing more.”

The Wildcats got off to a mediocre start in the event when they shot 11-over-par, giving them a share of 22nd place at the end of day one. Senior Brenden Redfern carded a 70 (E) and was tied for 36th place.

Cunningham finished the first round tied for 92nd place after shooting a 74 (+4). The positive notes for Cunningham were making an eagle and two birdies, but there wasn’t any momentum gathered from those key shots. Koo shared 103rd place after shooting a 75 (+5).

A similarity between the Wildcats’ performance at The Goodwin and the National Invitational Tournament was that they played worse each round.

“We struggled throughout the tournament and really lost focus,” Anderson said, “so we were in a funk, and we just didn’t play our best golf.”

Cunningham had an uplifting second round after the freshman posted a score of 67 (-3). He was the only Wildcat to score under par this weekend, and the only other Arizona player to come close was Redfern. Cunningham would card a final round of 1-over-par, with four birdies, to finish tied for 39th place (+2).

Redfern finished tied for 80th place (+8). Koo would go on to have his best round of the tournament in the final round, shooting a 74 and finishing in 115th place.

The conditions never looked good for Arizona and competing with ASU this weekend couldn’t of came at a worse time.

“We have to regroup, and we’ve had soul searching times like this before, but we’re going to have extremely competitive qualifiers for ASU and get back to work,” Anderson said. “We have our work cut out for us at this point, and it’s only going to get more competitive as we’re nearing the last stretch of the season.”

Arizona will compete in the ASU Thunderbird Invitational on Friday and Saturday with a 7:45 a.m. tee time in Tempe.

Q Does drinking water

while drinking alcohol have any benefits?

A. hangover or not. Here’s why.

YOUR POTENTIAL. UNLEASHED. ENROLL IN SUMMER SESSIONS

It’s amazing how quickly the semester flies by. With classes winding down, finals will be here soon. Why not pick up some course credits and keep those brain cells active over summer?

Choose from hundreds of online and in-person courses. We offer everything from general education to upper-division, degreespecific courses.

Alcohol is a diuretic which means it causes a greater loss of fluids than you gain when you drink it. Simply put, when drinking alcohol, coffee or caffeinated soda the body receives a signal to release water (that’s why people who drink have to urinate more frequently). And no, the frequent urination while drinking is not getting the alcohol out of the body faster.

ARIZONA

With this excessive urination comes the loss of electrolytes and minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium.

You are now officially dehydrated. This is caused by fluid loss or not drinking enough liquids. In a dehydrated state, your body does not have enough fluids to function properly. Symptoms of dehydration can include a dry mouth, headache, dark yellow urine, low urine output, a lack of tears, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and a general lethargic state. You may know this as a hangover.

There’s less to think about when The Daily Wildcat

has you covered

The cure is to replenish the fluids your body lost the night before from drinking. Drink water. You might be tempted to have coffee the next morning but that’s another diuretic so go with water or other non-alcoholic, non-carbonated, non-caffeinated drinks.

Avoid taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) if you’ve been drinking because combining acetaminophen and alcohol can have harmful effects on the liver.

Also, you are in need of pre-party planning to avoid the repeat nuisance of a hangover. That part’s easy; drink less and pace your drinks throughout the evening.

A tip to consider when drinking alcohol is to consume water before, during and after drinking. If you find yourself urinating a lot while drinking alcohol, consider it a signal to consume some other fluids, perhaps skipping a round of shots and replacing it with water. It is better to be proactive before and during alcohol consumption then to be reactionary the next morning.

Taylor Swift’s desert double

BY MADISON SCAVARDA The Daily Wildcat

I

t would seem that every persona Taylor Swift takes on starts a new trend among her generation. From cowgirl chic to elegant, young woman, Swift always receives adoration from her fans for her charming styles. Teenage girls and young adult women alike covet Swift’s iconic look, but few have ever come as close as Morgan Jensen when it comes to replicating her image.

For Jensen, a graphic design junior at Northern Arizona University and mega fan of Swift since the eighth grade, March 22 meant the last day of spring break. However, that night turned out to be much more exciting than she anticipated. Jensen’s idol reposted and commented on one of her photos from spring break in which she mimicked Swift’s look.

“I was on spring break, and I hung out with my friend, Kasey,” Jensen said. “She’s a big Taylor Swift fan, too, and we were making cookie recipes that Taylor Swift had given Kasey, [because] Kasey has met Taylor. So, we were baking Taylor Swift’s cookies, and we decided to, like, put red lipstick on me and take a bunch of pictures, [because] why not?”

As a tall, slender blonde, Jensen resembles the pop singer. But with the added red lipstick and some sunglasses, the two look almost identical. Of course, social media took a major part in allowing Jensen’s world to collide with Swift’s.

“Kasey posted all of the pictures all over her Tumblr and Instagram and everything,” Jensen said. “I posted a couple, too. … Taylor Swift saw them, and, so, she reposted it and commented, ‘lol I thought that was me.’”

Jensen said she had no idea that Swift had reposted the picture of her and her friend Kasey Andrew until she took a break from her homework to check her phone, which had exploded with messages of excitement from her friends.

“I checked her blog, and I saw my face, and I was just super confused for a while,” Jensen said. “And then I couldn’t focus for, like, the next two days.”

Since then, Swift’s nonchalant post launched the news media into a frenzy to get more details on the artist’s look-alike. Jensen said she has interviewed with a variety of different media organizations, including AZCentral, ABC15, KMLE Country radio in Phoenix, BBC Radio in London and some others.

However, March 22 was not the first time Jensen has been mistaken for Taylor Swift. She gave some details of another occasion in which

her similar appearance to the artist caused a riot among fans.

Jensen said she traveled to Nashville in 2013 to see her favorite celebrity perform in the “RED” tour. Clad in a Swift T-shirt, sunglasses and red lipstick, Jensen definitely made an entrance. As Jensen made her way to the venue, fans kept stopping her and wanting their picture taken with Swift’s look-alike. Although Jensen made it clear that she was not Swift, the fans still wanted photos with her.

“When we got to the outside of the venue, it was even worse, [because] that’s where all the fans were, so it was just madness,” Jensen said.

“It was mostly little girls and their moms being like, ‘Can we please have a photo?’ … And then this circle formed around me, and people were trying to jump in and get photos kind of like at Disneyland with the characters. Then my friend just yelled out, ‘Line up if you want a picture,’ and this huge line formed.”

Even though Jensen’s friend made everyone aware that the person they were waiting in line for was not, in fact, Taylor Swift, the fans remained persistent to get a photo with Jensen.

Jensen added that the scene had also caught the attention of Swift’s security team. The team told Jensen that they would be interested in hiring her for double work for Swift.

Many people are amazed at the resemblance between the pop singer and Jensen. Rebecca Rose, writer for Cosmopolitan magazine, said in her article on Jensen, “I am convinced she is an actual DNA clone of Taylor. She has to be.”

Even though the chaos that has ensued since Swift’s comment put Jensen in the limelight, Jensen’s true goal is not fame. Her close friend, Laurie Lipscomb, a computer science freshman at NAU, attested to that.

“I just really hope that through all of this, she gets to meet Taylor Swift,” Lipscomb said, “because, to her, she literally doesn’t care about anyone knowing her name or being famous.

She just really wants to meet Taylor Swift.”

Lipscomb will attend the “1989” concert with Jensen in August. Jensen hopes that at the concert, she will get to meet Swift — someone that she has admired as a person and as an artist for years.

“It’s rare to find artists who continue to make such high quality things, and she’s such a good writer and just pours her heart out,” Jensen said.

“I just really hope I can meet her and thank her for everything she’s done for me.”

ALBUM REVIEW

Sufjan Stevens’ new album is a ‘rare accomplishment’ with its raw vulnerability

H

umans are hardwired to choose “flight” over “fight” when it comes to trauma and grief. Something about the human condition desperately wants to avoid pain and irreconcilable loss, which makes Sufjan Stevens’ newest album, Carrie & Lowell, a rare accomplishment.

Named after Stevens’ mother and stepfather, the Carrie of the title died in December 2012, fueling the album’s creation. Carrie & Lowell chronicles the pain and fallout that accompanies losing a loved one.

Carrie & Lowell returns to the folk roots of fan-favorite album Michigan and song “Chicago,” along with the quiet intensity that powered Seven Swans. It is a departure from the more recent electronic and eccentric The Age of Adz and All Delighted People.

Carrie & Lowell strips away every unnecessary element until the only remnants are those of the broken, raw and personal. Gone are the orchestral bands composed of 10-plus members, instead replaced with duets between Stevens’ quiet voice and his acoustic guitar or soft piano. At the peak of this lo-fi theme is “No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross,” a track recorded by an iPhone in a hotel room with a whirring A/C unit audible in the background.

Such a deeply personal album strikes each listener in a unique way. Initially, it feels wrong to share such an intimate

record in the company of other people.

This appears to be a common response with other listeners, as well as the curious fact that no two people seem to share the same favorite song.

For some, it is the ominous “Fourth of July” with its haunting refrain, “We’re all

gonna die.” Others voice favor for tracks such as “All of Me Wants All of You” or “Eugene.”

The most logical standout track is “No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross,” a heartbreaking song that hammers home the themes of grief and sorrow. To Zach

Neal, a Judaic studies junior, the song epitomizes all of Carrie & Lowell. “‘No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross’ feels middle-aged, like youth beginning its degeneration,” Neal said. “The song maintains elemental Sufjan. The youth.

The ‘Casimir Pulaski [Day],’ the ‘Chicago.’

It has received the revelation of Seven Swans, it has lost sanity in The Age of Adz. … Carrie & Lowell is not simply another album; it is a progression in the Sufjan Stevens odyssey, a stretching further into the darkness enveloping the human experience.”

The greatest strength of Carrie & Lowell reveals itself in its brutal vulnerability.

Stevens allows the listener into the deepest and darkest corners of his grief, past the barbed wire piercing his heart to the center of raw emotion and human experience. These bleak times in Stevens’ life are laid bare throughout the album, from the contemplation of suicide in “The Only Thing” to a plea to drugs and sex for respite from pain in “No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross.”

Stevens captures the idea that to be vulnerable is proof of life. Humans live for struggle and pain; although the path is difficult, through stumbling and crawling, we make it to the other side. Carrie & Lowell is proof of this. If you have enough courage, listen. It will leave you a better person.
