JAMMING OUT
The Daily Wildcat
Far from the exclusive realm of federal organizations like the National Security Agency, intrusive surveillance methods and technology have become standard tools for government groups as small as local police departments and as large as the Internal Revenue Service. The Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Stonegarden is intended to improve border security. It has allowed the purchase of surveillance equipment by local law enforcement agencies, such as the Tucson Police Department, with little control on its use outside of the program.

New technologies Advancements in digital surveillance exploit the expanding role of technology in everyday life. One frequently-cited example is Stingray Surveillance Technology, a type of cell phone tower simulator developed by the Florida-based Harris Corporation. “Stingray devices … [trick] phones in that area into connecting to that device instead of the closest tower,” said Will Gaona, policy director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona. “And that gives law enforcement access to—at a minimum— the location of those phones and provides real-time tracking.”

STEM meets the arts at STEAMworks BY NATALIE ROBBINS The Daily Wildcat
Have you ever wondered if the craters of Mars were accurate in the movie “The Martian” or how a solar-powered hot water heater works? At STEAMworks, these questions and more were only an exhibit away. Students interested in science, technology, engineering, art and math became immersed
at the STEAMworks showcase. From education to research and development, the showcase highlighted the best of STEAM in Tucson on Thursday. STEAM is an altered version of traditional STEM programs, taking the more creative side of innovation into account. Vendors and UA-led clubs, researchers and companies showcased their contributions to the STEAM community. Both high school and college students
were encouraged to attend the more than 50 exhibits on display. Several booths provided demonstrations and there were copious chances for hands-on learning. Students had the opportunity to play with different types of edible optics candies, such as magnifiers and lenses, at the Edible Optics exhibit. These optical objects made items appear

Pride Alliance makes a prom for all BY GABRIELLA VUKELIC The Daily Wildcat
Pride Alliance is giving LGBTQ students and Tucson community members a second chance at prom on April 30 at 7 p.m. Second Chance Prom is not unique to UA; it has become an annual event across the nation. “The concept of Second Chance Prom is to offer students, especially LGBTQ students or nonstudents, a chance to have a really positive prom experience,” said Mary Knudson, co-director of LGBTQ Affairs. “There were a lot of people who were denied entrance into their prom because of who they wanted to go with or they couldn’t get tickets or some people may have wanted to dress a certain way but knew it wouldn’t have been a good idea to do at their prom, and some people just don’t like to dance.” Knudson said Second Chance Prom is Pride Alliance’s biggest event to plan throughout the academic year. She said last year’s event had over 200 people in attendance and this year’s is expected to have more, based on the Facebook event page’s success so far. The UA’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Affairs has an intern team of about nine to 12 people every year. The interns brainstorm themes for the prom and then narrow their ideas to a top-five or less-than-top-five list. They add the top chosen ideas to their listserv to give students an opportunity to choose the event they would like to attend most. The top two choices were a masquerade ball or a 1920s theme, according to the listserv poll. This year’s winning choice was the 1920s Great Gatsby theme. Interns will create the decorations by hand and handle the performance list and catering menu. Kimberly Chong, Pride Alliance’s prom planning committee intern, said they will have food catered by Dynamic Cuisine and will have special performances by drag performer Jenna May, members from Fluxx Studio & Gallery, Boys R Us and potentially the Arizona Swing Cats to reinforce the 1920s theme.

“We offer prom photos as a regular part of prom; we will have one of Fluxx’s DJs, DJ Ladyfingers, who will hopefully play some electro-swing and current music that people like,” Knudson said. “We’ll have a mocktail station to go along with the prohibition theme with a ‘pin an Oscar on Leo’ game and also easy poker and blackjack games.” Knudson said the prom planning committee created a Facebook page for the event on April 11 and within a few hours about 80 people said they were going. The event will take place on the Multi-Activity Court at the Student Recreation Center on campus. Knudson said the event normally takes place in the South Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center, but has been relocated to give students and the community a more promfeeling experience in the gym.
“High school is definitely a different setting for a lot of us. I didn’t like dancing with the other kids at my high school, but it’s different on a college campus,” Knudson said. “So it’s a chance for you to have prom the way you want it to be.” People attending the event are suggested to dress semi-formal, however, it is up to the individuals as to whether they would like to dress up or dress down. “All the interns got assigned to be on the prom planning committee, but we got to choose out of a list our three preferences for working on events and Second Chance Prom was my first choice,” Chong said. “So I’m very excited.”

Grad students demand a ‘living wage’ BY sam gross
The Daily Wildcat
Graduate students staged a universitywide walkout Thursday in protest of graduate student and adjunct professor working conditions. The group is specifically calling for stipends to be raised to a “living wage,” along with the inclusion of free health care and child care. A crowd formed near the steps of Old Main on Thursday. Equipped with a signmaking station and a small group spray painting #walkoutUA on the front and back of T-shirts, the group began to slowly swell as the official start time of the walkout grew nearer. Those who gathered were largely representing graduate students and graduate student teachers in the humanities and social sciences —disciplines the protesters say are devalued in comparison to the UA’s STEM fields. Most doctoral and master’s students are supported through graduate assistantships, which are nine-month, half-time appointments that include stipends, tuition waivers and annual health care assistance, according to a document given to the Daily Wildcat from the Office of University Relations. The document also cites a multitude of scholarships and fellowships that help fund graduate students. While each graduate assistant is awarded a stipend when they are appointed as assistant, the amount they receive is dictated by the discipline they are pursuing. This is the issue, according to those at the walkout. “It’s not that the job is bad,” said Alex Schweig, a graduate assistant teacher in the history department. “It’s that the conditions of the job are bad.” Stipends range from a minimum $9,600 to $28,588 at maximum. Graduate assistants’ pay rates in the humanities and the social sciences are usually on the lower end of the spectrum. Rev. Ben Garren, the Episcopal chaplain at the UA, was adamant about change and

Protesters crowd the steps of Old Main on Thursday, April 14. The group, mostly comprised of graduate students, demanded graduate assistants be paid a “living wage” along with better health care benefits and free child care (left). Alex Karaman, founding member of the Graduate Student Organizing Committee leads a discussion (right).
explained the situations he has seen from the graduate student stipends. “The reality is that we have grad students that are already on food stamps and are starving,” Garren said. “Encountering this regularly in my work makes me want to come out here and makes me want to stand with the grad students and say that this needs to be dealt with on a systematic level.” Nataly Reed, an adjunct lecturer in the English department, was there representing herself and her husband, who’s also a graduate student. Reed said both she and her husband have a difficult time making ends meet with the wages provided to them by the university. Reed said health care has also become an issue in addition to the low wages. The UA covers health insurance premiums for graduate assistants or associates at UA Campus Health. Up until last year, this same
health insurance plan was extended to the spouses of graduate assistants. This year the extended coverage to the spouses was stripped from the plan because of budget cuts. Reed said this has placed an extra burden on her family in addition to their already strained budget. Reed acknowledged there are always budget limitations within the departments, but she said that at some point, the cuts have to stop. While a group congregated near the eastfacing steps of Old Main in preparation for the walkout, it didn’t officially begin until noon and lasted a few hours. Undergraduate students from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano/a de Aztlan stood in solidarity with the graduate student protesters, who took to the UA Mall and Old Main with chants demanding that UA President Ann Weaver Hart step down

from her position at the UA. Alex Karaman, a founding member of the Graduate Student Organizing Committee and one of the organizers of the walkout, led a discussion with a group of speakers during the beginning of the demonstration. The discussion touched upon different issues that affect not just graduate students, but the entire UA student body. “We are trying to draw attention to a range of issues that are very connected having to do with, on one hand, the increasing tuition and fees at the UA,” Karaman said. “We are also trying to bring attention to issues that relate to the support and retention of students of color and low income students, and to draw attention to labor conditions on campus.” — Follow Sam Gross @samzgross

Zika virus threatening Arizona BY AKSHAY SYAL
The Daily Wildcat
The Zika virus made headlines again this week as lawmakers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began making announcements that the virus may be more severe than first thought. U.S. lawmakers approved a bill on Tuesday that White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest described as “two months late and $1.9 billion short.” The bill will provide financial incentives for companies to develop drugs and vaccines against the virus. Wednesday brought an announcement from the CDC: They deemed the Zika virus responsible for serious birth defects such as microcephaly, a condition where improper brain development results in a baby being born with an abnormally small head. “Never before in history has there been a situation where a bite from a mosquito can result in a devastating malformation,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the CDC, told the New York Times on Wednesday. Arizona saw its first confirmed case of the virus in March, when a woman from Maricopa County, who had recently traveled abroad, contracted the virus. “While this is a first, the risk of this virus spreading throughout Arizona is very low,” said Cara Christ, director for the Arizona Department of Health Services. “Arizona’s public health system has a plan in place and we are ready to rapidly respond.” To gain more insight on the latest information regarding the threat of the Zika virus, the Daily Wildcat interviewed Kacey Ernst, a UA epidemiology professor who is currently in Jamaica working to develop clinical research studies for the Zika virus with the Jamaica Ministry of Health. The Daily Wildcat: U.S. health officials have stated that the Zika virus is now “scarier than we thought.” What has changed in recent months that have led them to believe so? Kacey Ernst: As transmission continues and cases build, more neurological outcomes are being identified as potential complications of infection with Zika virus. Most recently, patients with Zika virus infection were subsequently diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, or ADEM, a condition that presents very much like multiple sclerosis. … It should be kept in mind, however, that other infections can also cause these conditions. For example, microcephaly can be caused by infection with rubella, chickenpox and cytomegalovirus. Does the Zika virus specifically attack cells of the nervous system? Yes, research suggests that [the] Zika virus can proliferate in neural stem cells. A recent study in Science indicates that the virus has a particular affinity for neural progenitor cells and essentially takes over the cell, using it to replicate the virus and eventually kills the cell. This is one of the reasons why it is thought it might lead to microcephaly. Congress sent a bill on Tuesday described as a “small step,” to President [Barack] Obama, that would allow for financial incentives for companies fighting the virus. What are your thoughts on this bill? Is it sufficient? If not, what would you have liked to see included?
The bill will actually grant drug companies who invest in developing treatments or vaccines for Zika a voucher for expediting review of a more profitable drug by the [Food and Drug Administration]. It does not actually provide direct funding to companies. I would agree that this is a small step forward, but it joins several other small steps, including prioritization of Zika virus research for funding from the [National Institute of Health] and [National Science Foundation]. Of course, anyone who is concerned about the pandemic would like to see more direct funding for prevention and control of further spread [as well as] the development of vaccines and treatments and support for countries with high burdens of disease. In addition, more upstream investment in infrastructure and development would help address not only Zika virus transmission but other global health threats. In late March, Arizona saw it’s first confirmed case of the Zika virus. What is the current threat to residents? Should we be taking preventative steps, such as using mosquito repellant, in our homes? Yes, in late March we joined a growing number of states that have confirmed Zika virus in a returned traveler. It is important to understand that this individual was not exposed to the virus in Arizona and currently the density of [Aedes] aegypti, the primary vector of Zika virus, is low. It peaks in Arizona following the monsoon season. There are basic things that one can do, including making sure standing water is removed or covered (in the case of rain water harvesting and other more permanent water sources). This includes vases, pet water bowls and other things that might be inside your house. In addition, offer to help out those neighbors who might not be able to remove their own standing water. In a survey we conducted in Tucson, physical limitations were one of the most common reasons cited that prevented them from taking that action. Other key things are to wear repellent when outdoors, making sure your windows are screened and clearing your yard of containers. Maybe even get a group together to tackle that empty lot down the street.
What is your role in Jamaica dealing with the Zika virus? How are you working with the [Jamaica Ministry of Health] to combat the virus and how did you get involved in Jamaica in the first place? I have been coming to Jamaica to teach at the University of [the] West Indies in their MSc [sic] degree program in epidemiology for a number of years now. We actually originally got a group together from the Ministry and UWI to develop a research plan following the chikungunya outbreak that swept the island in 2014. Chikungunya is another virus transmitted by the same mosquitoes as Zika virus. Two years ago, it was considered one of the most significant infectious disease threats. Almost everyone I have spoken to while I have been here this week had chikungunya during that outbreak. ... During the conversations about chikungunya, the Zika virus was identified as a threat in Brazil and we are working to develop clinical research studies here.

UA Med-Phoenix appoints temporary dean BY ava garcia
The Daily Wildcat
The UA College of Medicine – Phoenix announced earlier this month that Dr. Kenneth Ramos will head up the school while the search for a permanent dean gets underway. Ramos takes the reins of UA’s northernmost medical outpost as interim dean on Monday after last month’s departure of former dean Dr. Stuart Flynn. Ramos is no stranger to working with the Phoenix medical school. He is the currently associate vice president for Precision Health Sciences, a position he will continue to hold as the interim dean. He is also a professor of medicine and director for the Center for Applied Genetics and Genomic Medicine. Two of those positions are with UA Health Sciences, under which both the Tucson and Phoenix colleges of medicine fall, so Ramos has collaborated and partnered with faculty on the Phoenix campus for multiple activities, according to Ramos. Some of these activities included

working with researchers on precision medicine projects on the Phoenix campus, according to Judy Bernas, associate vice president of university relations from the College of Medicine – Phoenix. While Ramos plans to keep his current positions with the college in addition to his new post, he
understands that there could be some adjusting. “During the time of transition, I think we will try to leverage all of those activities,” Ramos said. “Hopefully without interruption and without compromise, and then we’ll reassess as we move forward.” Ramos lectures at intersession courses for starting third-year students and has lectured for graduate medical program residents. Ramos anticipates he will have to travel back to Tucson for his job sometimes, but said it will likely not be a “major shift in operations.” Ramos’ experience in UA leadership is why he was chosen to be interim dean, according to Dr. Joe “Skip” Garcia, senior vice president of UA Health Sciences. In addition to his other positions, Ramos is director of the College of Medicine – Tucson doctor of medicine and doctor of philosophy programs, the co-chair of the College of Medicine – Phoenix Department of Internal Medicine Chair Search Committee and the co-chair of the College of Pharmacy Dean Search Committee.

Garcia appointed Ramos as the interim dean after consulting with the leadership team of the College of Medicine – Phoenix, according to Michael Jonen, senior associate vice president for UA Health Sciences. The department is in the process of putting together a search committee to head a national search to find a permanent dean for the College of Medicine – Phoenix, which will be launched sometime this month, Jonen wrote in an email. The search for a dean, which includes bringing candidates in for interviews, could take at least six to nine months, according to Bernas. Ramos will serve as the interim dean in the meantime, but he doesn’t expect to make any changes during his time holding the position. “The intent is to support the faculty, the staff and the students of the College of Medicine in Phoenix to enable the system to achieve its goals and aspirations,” Ramos said. “My job as a dean is to be a facilitator and an enabler. Hopefully that’s what I will do.” This role as a facilitator may
include being a stabilizing factor for the college during its period of change, according to Bernas. The Phoenix medical campus is still in the final stages of becoming a fully accredited medical school. The college was granted preliminary accreditation, a mid-tier level of accreditation, in February and is hoping to achieve full accreditation by mid-year next year. “Everyone on the Phoenix campus is really excited for him to be up here and work with all of us, and for him to lead the college,” Bernas said. Ramos said he is most looking forward to meeting the Phoenix campus medical students because students are an inspiration for those in academia. “[I am] elated to have a chance to bring closeness between both Tucson and Phoenix since I will know both campuses well,” Ramos said. “That understanding will hopefully serve me well. I’m excited and energized by the opportunity.” — Follow Ava Garcia @dailywildcat

Gaona added that the devices could also allow police to see the content of text messages and other data sent by phones in the area, depending on their use. While this may be useful for tracking a suspect, the technology isn’t targeted and it gives law enforcement the ability to indiscriminately see the information of all cell phones in the area, according to Gaona. Agencies as disconnected from law enforcement as the IRS have used Stringrays according to Derek Bambauer, an associate professor at the James E. Rogers College of Law, who has studied internet censorship and surveillance. The devices are widespread, according to Gaona. Arizona users include the Tucson, Tempe and Phoenix police departments and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. ‘Secrecy to the highest degree’ The prevalence of such equipment impacts the ability of citizens to take part in government, according to Gaona. “The ability to protest, to demonstrate— that’s an important part of participating in our society and in government,” Gaona said. “And when the government tracks and surveils and keeps a list of people that participate in those types of things, it certainly discourages people from that type of participation.” Federal grant programs, like Operation Stonegarden, finance some surveillance equipment used by police departments in
keeping tabs on political demonstrations, including a vehicle-mounted camera system, developed by Tucson-based Strongwatch Corporation, known as Freedom On-The-Move. Maintained by the Department of Homeland Security, the grant program is intended to defray the costs of border security by local law enforcement agencies in states sharing an international or sea border, according to the DHS website. The Freedom On-The-Move system combines an infrared and a conventional camera with a zoom lens in a stabilized housing atop a mast mounted to a vehicle. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department paid more than $200,000 for its border crime unit’s camera system after receiving about $124,000 in funding through Operation Stonegarden, according to documents obtained by the Daily Wildcat. The device has been used by the agency in at least one instance to monitor an anti-Islamophobia demonstration in Tucson. “That’s one way in which government surveillance impacts peoples’ ability to participate in society and in our government,” Gaona said. The Arizona branch of the ACLU is involved in a lawsuit against the City of Tucson, seeking the release of documents related to TPD’s use of stingrays, according to Ganoa. Pete Kraska, chair of graduate studies and research in the School of Justice Studies at Eastern Kentucky University, suggests this lack of transparency is systemic in law enforcement. “I think that the current model of policing … is all about creating a system that values

secrecy to the highest degree,” Kraska said. Beyond the content While many point to the Fourth Amendment as a safeguard against mass digital surveillance, the actual data attached to a communication—known as metadata— is afforded fewer protections than the content itself, according to Bambauer. “What we think of as the way to get information around—telephone numbers, IP addresses, email addresses, URLs, typically called routing information—tends to receive less [legal protection],” Bambauer said. Compiling a clear picture of the user is fairly simple with enough metadata. This concept is known as mosaic theory. “If you get all the email addresses of people who are emailing me, if you are able to track my cell phone as it goes by cell phone towers, you can build a pretty complete record of who I’m talking to, who I’m calling, where I’m going,” Bambauer said. A confusing regulatory structure aids agencies in making their own rules for the collection of digital data. Executive Order 12333 prohibits federal agencies other than the NSA from conducting electronic surveillance that includes content, but doesn’t cover metadata collection and isn’t binding for non-federal agencies, according to Bambauer. The only legal hurdle to clear for government organizations in pursuit of metadata is a subpoena under the Pen Register Act. “[There is] virtually no barrier to getting it,” Bambauer said.
Pushing back Some tools to make electronic communication more secure are growing in popularity along with bipartisan pushback against those advocating for pervasive surveillance. Sarah Erickson, student activist and a junior studying linguistics and Russian, said she uses a proxy server when browsing the internet to make her activities more difficult to track. A popular method of anonymous internet browsing, known as Tor, provides a layer of security for users beyond that of a single proxy but at the cost of a slower connection. The service routes internet traffic through three random, connected computers called nodes, but it is still vulnerable to certain types of cyber attacks. Bambauer provided context for the growing public discontent toward the possible abuse of collected metadata by law enforcement and other government organizations. He noted similarities to historical government monitoring of activists like Martin Luther King Jr. “I think that as we can store more information, as we can index it, as we can search it and as we increasingly start to use artificial intelligence to do some predictive work based on it ...,” Bambauer said. “... I think that the aggregation of data, effectively with no check, is really worrisome from a privacy perspective.”

All Lives Matter activists are naive BY SCOTT BACA
The Daily Wildcat
A
ll lives matter: a statement all sane individuals can get on board with. All lives do matter and should be valued. So why does this statement invoke such emotion and opinion today? Why is there a crowd of people shouting this phrase from the rooftops of the Internet, complete with an assortment of hashtags and tweets? And why is there an equally large group of dissenters? It’s because the All Lives Matter movement is unnecessary. Yet, its proponents can’t seem to grasp the complete
narrative of social justice in today’s world. The disconnect between groups has fired up the controversy involving All Lives Matter and its equally—if not more—polarizing counterpart, Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter came across to some people as a movement to put the needs of black Americans above those of everyone else. Whether there are inherent flaws in that logic, I believe those who buy into the All Lives Matter movement believe their crusade is intended to unite all sorts of people. But they miss the whole point. If you can open your eyes and attempt to impartially survey the current social landscape, it’s pretty easy to see that minorities, on average, have it worse in the U.S. The deaths of Trayvon Martin
and Michael Brown, whether they were racially charged, served to highlight that fact. Thousands came together as a response to these injustices to form Black Lives Matter and cried out for those who have lacked a voice for many years. But many people took these voices raised for equality as a threat to the white majority or as an over-emphasis of the needs of only black people in America. They countered that all lives matter, not just black lives. All lives do matter, but those people did not realize that in asserting that opinion, they were invalidating a group with a goal of wanting to be thought of and treated as equals in this country. By ignoring and trying to usurp Black Lives Matter, that invalidation is exactly what they were fighting for. But contrary to a common
sentiment among Black Lives Matter activists, these socalled counter-activists aren’t expressing blatant racism. They think their cause is just and unifying. As bad as the naivety that defines All Lives Matter is, the lack of understanding from Black Lives Matter and its unwillingness to see things from the opposing view is equally as damaging. There needs to be concession from both sides for any progress to be made. Communication is essential to any conflict. If these two activist groups see from each other’s viewpoint, communication and understanding will be greatly improved.

omen are present in the workforce now more than ever before. Yet, the wage gap between men and women persists despite all the hard work women are putting into their jobs. The statistic is shocking: On average, women only make about 76 cents for every dollar a man makes. Look at that number through the context of 40 hours of work—a typical week’s worth of work—at a $10 perhour job. A man will have made $400, while his female counterpart will only have made $304. This is one of the greatest examples of gender discrimination that still exists in the present day and it’s an issue affecting some of the most well-known women in the country: the members of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. Five members of the team are suing U.S. Soccer’s governing board on allegations of wage discrimination. The USWNT is the best team in the world, as decided by the 2015 World Cup. The tournament’s entire prize pool was worth $15 million and the U.S. women earned only $2 million for their victory. In contrast, the U.S. men’s team, which was knocked out in the first round of its most recent World Cup

their sport is less popular just doesn’t hold up. While it may be true in other sports that women don’t draw as much viewership as their male counterparts, women’s soccer currently seems to be more popular in the U.S. than men’s. If you think it’s all about popularity, you’re going to need a new argument to justify paying these women drastically less. No argument proposed as a defense for U.S. Soccer and its wage gaps is justifiable. Americans have never tuned in to watch the men’s team like they did the women in 2015, yet men are paid millions of dollars more. It’s absolutely unfair. It’s absolutely discrimination. Women have been fighting for equality for centuries. Even when a female does something with a higher degree of success than a male, there are people who refuse to acknowledge them. There will always be people who think the most successful woman is worth less than the least successful man. If a woman is going to go out there, put in the education or effort that it takes to excel in life and excels, she should not be paid less than a man who does the same. If a woman like Carli Lloyd is going to score a goal from midfield and help bring her team to victory in the World Cup, she deserves to be paid a wage at least equal to that of a male soccer player. It’s as simple as that. — Follow Rhiannon Bauer @rhiannon_bauer

appearance, took home $9 million of the $576 million pool. So, why exactly is the women’s team, who out-performed the men’s team, being paid so much less? A lot of people toss the word “revenue” into the argument. Since men bring in more revenue—over four-year World Cup cycles— than women do, perhaps that justifies the wage gap. But the women’s World Cup win made them the real breadwinners of 2015, or at least it should have. If one employee was securing more customers than another employee and making more money for his or her boss, wouldn’t the employee deserve some sort of reward? Maybe, but this isn’t actually the case in all sports. In figure skating, a sport in which women bring in more revenue than men, prize money is distributed equally among the genders for the sake of fairness. The sport’s pay isn’t determined by revenue differences between genders. U.S. Soccer should have treated the USWNT the same way—if not better— because the women out-performed the men. Popularity is another argument against the women being paid. Since sports have historically been viewed as a male activity, men’s teams often have larger fanbases than women’s teams and should benefit monetarily. The 2015 Women’s World Cup, however, broke the record for most-watched soccer match in the U.S., for men or women. The argument that women get paid less because
mericans have a very materialistic culture. We accumulate, we buy, we store and we seem to have a strange opposition to anything second-hand. This tendency reveals itself in the form of over-stuffed closets and dressers, the drawers of which won’t shut anymore. Even when we don’t need or want an item anymore, there can be a pull to hang on to it simply because, at one point, you spent your hard-earned money on it. Hoarding clothing presents a space problem for students living in dorms or small apartments. College students are often just as short on money as they are on space. This means they might want to hold on even more to items they bought. Luckily, there’s a solution with a win-win result that many students may not even think of: secondhand and thrift stores. Secondhand and thrift stores are not only
a great place to buy clothes for less, but you can also make some money by selling your clothing. Not only does that leave you with more cash, it cleans out your closet as well. The UA held a clothing swap event on March 24 called UA Wear and Share. Organized by sustainable built environments senior Zola Zermeño as part of her thesis, the event allowed students to exchange their unwanted, gently used clothing for something new—new to them, that is. Zermeño said she chose to hold this event to bring awareness to the huge environmental toll that fast and cheap clothing production has. “[I’m] always thinking of ways we can come together as a community to be more sustainable,” Zermeño said. This kind of recycling is better for the environment. Zermeño said Americans send around 10 million tons of clothing—about half of what is bought—to landfills every year. That number seems completely feasible when walking into any Goodwill or secondhand store. The amount of clothing others have donated seems so vast that you might think we never need to make another
piece of clothing ever again. Yet, we just keep on producing. As most of our clothing is produced overseas, this damaging production doesn’t always directly benefit the U.S. economy. That’s only one of the many problems that overseas manufacturing leads to. In addition, workers are often treated badly and quality and environmental production standards aren’t upheld. For those reasons, we as a community should follow Zermeño’s lead and try to be better about what we buy and what we throw away. If you need a new pair of jeans or a warmer jacket, try checking out shops like Goodwill, Plato’s Closet or Buffalo Exchange in Tucson before heading to Target. How Sweet It Was Vintage and Desert Vintage are even closer to campus, residing on Fourth Avenue. Not only is shopping at these places better for the environment and your wallet, it’s also better for the community, as Zermeño pointed out. It’s better to wear it and share it than to buy it new. — Follow Marissa Heffernan @mheffernan

Kids connect science, art with LEO project
BY NATALIE ROBBINS The Daily Wildcat
When many people think about science, they often think about graphs, tables and data. But science can lend inspiration to art as well and can help students express themselves in ways they may not have otherwise been able to. Through a partnership with the UA School of Geography and Development, Biosphere 2 and several local grade schools, elementary and middle school students are now able to use their scientific observational skills to create unique artistic interpretations of what they are learning. Students also get the chance to visit Biosphere 2 and connect with the scientists working at the Landscape Evolution Observatory through the Mini-LEO program.
At Biosphere 2, students interact with real scientists and are a direct part of the LEO project. Students develop an ecology project to help provide data on potential plants that can be used in the observatory. “The biggest connections are around what a scientist does and what a scientist looks like,” said Greg Barron-Gafford, biogeography professor in the UA School of Geography and Development. “In their first visit to Biosphere 2 two years ago, one student that had spent the whole day with us asked, ‘When do we get to meet a real scientist?’ Wow—what a telling question. They hadn’t seen anyone in a lab suit and even though I had kind of crazy hair, I didn’t fit their mental image.” Michelle Coe, the Mini-LEO program director, works with several UA interns throughout the school year to teach students at
the school’s science lessons, which they later translate into art. Some of the lessons that lent themselves to artwork included the process of photosynthesis and an artistic interpretation of several micrographs. “Students look at plants or soil under microscopes and that new perspective can really capture a student’s imagination,” BarronGafford said. “And I believe that reinforces interest in the science they are doing.” Students at Mansfield Middle School were shown several micrographs that were of both living and non-living materials to create the interpretive artwork displayed at ENR2. They were then were given the opportunity to recreate what they saw in their artwork. “It’s just a different way of understanding and it touches on students’ different abilities and
interests,” Coe said. “Students might not enjoy writing in their journals about what [they are] observing, but they might love taking all those pieces and collaging things or drawing.” The student artwork was showcased in two viewings. The first was at Biosphere 2 on April 2 and the other was April 8 in the new ENR2 building. Student artwork from Borton Magnet and J.B. Wright Elementary schools was showcased at the Biosphere 2 show. Artwork from students at Manzo Elementary School and Mansfield Middle School was showcased at the ENR2 gallery showing. The UA community and school garden program is helping to sprout young artists and young scientists. — Follow Natalie Robbins @natpatat11

This Week in Science: giraffes and dinosaurs BY bailey bellavance The Daily Wildcat
Roll with it, ancient aliens A 1,500-year-old stone sphere was found by Bosnian archaeologist Semir Osmanagic. Osmanagic made the discovery in a forest outside the city of Zavidovici. The sphere had a roughly four-and-a-half-foot long radius and a very high iron content. This is proof of an advanced civilization dating back to 1,500 years ago, according to Osmanagic. There used to be more spheres found in the region, but many were destroyed in the 1970s after rumors spread that they contained gold. This isn’t the first time Osmanagic made bold claims about Bosnia’s prehistoric history. Osmanagaic found a cluster of hills in Bosnia in 2005, which he concluded was the site of ancient pyramids linked by an extensive underground tunnel system below the surface. Several scientists have stepped up to refute Osmanagic’s claims. Amanda Edwards, a lecturer at the University of Manchester in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, told MailOnline that the rock may not even be man-made, but may perhaps be formed by the precipitation of natural minerals in the sphere, known as concretion. Whale vomit that costs more than your degree A couple in Lancashire, England, made the find of a lifetime while walking on Middleton Sand beach. The couple, Gary and Angela Williams, stumbled upon a lump of whale vomit known as ambergris, weighing just under three and a half pounds. The ambergris is thought to be worth around $77,000 and the couple is already talking to prospective buyers in France and New Zealand. Ambergris is an ingredient used in perfumes to make scents last. The material is rare and is secreted from sperm whales’ bile ducts and intestines to help pass hard objects the whale might have swallowed. “It feels like a rock-hard rubber ball,” Gary Williams said. “Its texture is like wax, like a
candle. When you touch it, you get wax sticking to your fingers.” Harvesting ambergris doesn’t necessarily harm whales, but several countries have banned the trade of the substance in an effort to stop the exploitation of the animals. The United States and Australia are among those countries. Cretaceous grave robbers The black market for stolen dinosaur fossils is a booming business and one paleontologist from Florida knows it. Eric Prokopi was charged with smuggling after he excavated a late Cretaceous-period dinosaur skull and smuggled it into England in 2012. The Tyrannosaurus skull was found in the Gobi Desert and, thanks to Prokopi, ended up in America. U.S. attorney Preet Bharara filed the case in 2012 with hopes of returning the fossil to its native land, Mongolia. Prokopi pled guilty to smuggling fossils from Mongolia in his hearing. He was sentenced to just six months, only half of them in prison. Baharara and his office announced Wednesday they were returning the latest recovered fossil to Mongolia. “We are gratified to add the skull of another Tyrannosaurus Bataar to the roster of fossils returned to Mongolia,” Baharara said. Oh, baby! Giraffe that is A male Masai giraffe was born Sunday in the Sacramento Zoo. Weighing in at 163 pounds and over 6 feet tall, the baby has spent the days after his birth bonding with his mother, Shani, a 6-year-old Masai giraffe. Masai giraffes are the largest subspecies of giraffe and are typically found in Kenya and Tanzania. The Sacramento Zoo houses six giraffes, three reticulated giraffes and two Masai giraffes. The Sacramento Zoo has seen the birth of 19 giraffe calves in total as of Sunday. Sacramento zoo via facebook

Exploitative marine fisheries run on less-than-sound science, nonselective fishing technologies, extensive governmental subsidies that lead to overcapacity, high catch rates and nontransparent fishing policies. These are all components of the decline. Fish are taken from the oceans at a faster rate than they can reproduce. We have built a fishing industry capable of fishing the global ocean four times over. The 1.2 billion people that depend on the sea for their livelihoods and protein would be hit first, but the ripples would affect everyone, regardless of whether they live in a desert or along a coast. Through buying sustainably caught seafood, learning about marine conservation through local events like the one at Biosphere 2 and supporting fishery reform, Arizonans can make a difference. — Follow Julianna Renzi @Jollyrenzi

Imagine a nature hike in the Sonoran Desert. There is a cluster of alligator junipers providing shade for two sleeping javelinas and, a little farther away, a few deer dart across the trail. At the end of the trail there is a watering hole with a coyote and its pup. A pygmy owl rests in a lone saguaro. Now imagine coming back five decades later and finding nothing but one skinny javelina, and almost all of the native animals gone. This is what is happening in the ocean, an even bigger ecosystem that comprises 99 percent of Earth’s habitable space. A 2003 study in Nature found that humans have depleted 90 percent of large fish stocks in global oceans during the past 50 years. These changes may seem far off for desert dwellers, but the oceans provide half of the world’s oxygen and take up 50 percent of all carbon
ocean acidification, and Biosphere 2 gave special tours of their ocean environment. The Fin Foundation, a local nonprofit that teaches marine science to classrooms throughout the Southwest, set up a display featuring jaws of great white sharks, shells of giant snails and even a walrus tusk. Founder and CEO of the Fin Foundation, Shaun Pipes, said there is a disconnect between the importance of the ocean and the desert. The ocean gives us the air we breathe, the climate we need to survive and the food we eat, according to Pipes. “We sometimes forget about it, but the ocean does so much for us,” Pipes said. Particularly large predators, like sharks and tuna, are disappearing from the oceans. Pipes said predators keep marine populations in balance. Without them other species could grow out of control. Overfishing is the number one cause for the shocking losses witnessed over the past half century.

Edible Optics is working to revolutionize the field of scientific education through the use of these lollipops, and is hoping to make their inventions commercial soon. “You’re also able to align the lenses in a way to make telescopes and microscopes,” said Sarina Sedgwick, a chemical engineering senior. Sedgwick started Edible Optics along with another UA student, Jasmine Sears. Students interested in learning more about mining had the opportunity to do so at the Modern Mining booth. The booth allowed students to investigate the impact of mining on Arizona’s economy and to explore the changing nature of mining as they embrace sustainability. “Arizona has 0.25 percent of their land used for mining,” said Alyssa Hom, Engineering Ambassador and a senior studying mining and mineral engineering. “Mining has such a big impact on our lives. Without mining, you have no electricity and no vehicles.” There were also several exhibits highlighting sustainability and renewable building products. Students learned how hot water is heated using a solar hot water heater at the Renewable Energy exhibit . Antifreeze, which is mixed with water, is heated by the sun and pumped through a coil submerged in water to create hot water. Solar hot water systems like the one on display are efficient alternatives to traditional water heaters in Arizona. “If you do the energy analysis, this system will pay for itself, depending on behavior, within three to five years,” said Juan Cuadra, professor at Pima Community College. “I would love to see the day that we can get a system [so] that energy will cost 10 cents [per] watt.” Cuadra teaches a class on solar water heaters at PCC. At the Unraveling Martian History with Machine Learning exhibit, images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment were used to create 3-D models that showcased the crater topography on the surface of Mars. Craters on Mars are used as indicators of the planet’s history. Scientists are using them as help to figure out if there was ever life on Mars, and to understand how the environment changes with every meteor collision. For anyone who has seen the movie “The Martian,” the area where the crew landed is accurately represented in terms of the number and types of craters that are currently seen on Mars. “[‘The Martian’] is actually very accurate,” said Rodrigo Savage, an electrical computer engineering doctoral student. “The reason why it is accurate is because they used images from HiRISE, so they used real images of Mars.” From sustainability to astronomy and from mining to optic lenses, the STEAMworks showcase provided new learning opportunities for all interests and helped add steam to the cogs of young minds. — Follow Natalie Robbins @natpatat11

DO DIFFERENTLY years, Dr. George Vaillant, was asked “What have you learned from the Grant Study men?” Vaillant’s response was, “That the only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.” Put even more succinctly, “Happiness is love. Full stop.”
In 1938, Harvard University began what would become a 75 year study on the factors that make for a good life, happiness chief among them. Called the Grant Study, due to its original patron W.T. Grant, it studied 268 Harvard sophomores and followed them in the years and decades after graduation and into old age. While the study had its limitations, namely that all of the subjects were males (and let’s face it, they were all from Harvard), it remains important based on its long lifespan. So what did those many years of followup interviews, questionnaires, and investigations yield?
According to the findings, having positive connections with family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and mentors is vital to our emotional and physical health, which in turn shapes our outlook on life and capacity for empathy. And even if those relationships didn’t exist for some of the men in the study while they were growing up, the research shows that it is never too late to change course. Perhaps the study’s best example of this was the case of Godfrey Minot Camille, who had a grim childhood, yet adapted and found redemption in the family and friendships he had cultivated later into adulthood. When the study’s director for over 30

SMART
FITNESS GOALS By Delaney Rader, Student Marketing Assistant, Campus Recreation
We all know how important it is to set goals for the things we want to achieve and fitness is no different. Following the SMART goal strategy can help you reach your objectives: Specific. Create a clear and concise goal. Instead of writing down “I will work out more often,” get specific and write “I will spend 30 minutes at the gym, five days per week, by blocking the time out on my schedule beforehand.” Measurable. Establish criteria for determining if you have met your goal. Are you trying to limit your sugar intake? Keep a food diary to measure what you’re eating. Be specific in your measurements, and write it all down. Attainable. Know what you are willing and able to do when you’re creating your goal. If it’s a big goal, try setting short-term goals that will lead you to accomplishing the longer-term one. Realistic. You’ll be more motivated to work towards a goal that you truly believe you can achieve. Be honest with yourself and know what you are capable of doing. Time-bound. Set deadlines for short- and long-term goals. This will give you a clear target date for you to achieve your goal.

With all of the demands on our time, many of us resort to multitasking. While multitasking may seem like a good idea, it actually divides our attention, slows us down, increases mistakes and stress, and even hurts our relationships. Follow these tips to accomplish more by doing less:
Treat yourself after completing a task. Facebook,
Take a tech break. Technology allows us to be connected 24/7 but that doesn’t mean we have to be. Whether you’re socializing with friends or studying, be present in the moment and put away tech distractions (cough your phone). This will allow for more meaningful conversations and rela-
texting, hunger, socializing, and other distractions make for a great incentive to get tasks done. Allow yourself to have short breaks after checking off a task on your to-do list. This will help you focus your energy and be more productive on the task at hand.
Exercise. From going for a walk, lifting weights, taking a fitness class, and practicing yoga there are lots of ways to be active. All of these activities reduce your stress, boost your mood, increase your energy, and help you sleep better!

THINGS TO
DO IN BED
By Lee Ann Hamilton, MA, CHES
Right now we’re talking about the most important thing you do in bed: sleep! So, how can you get enough sleep to help you manage stress, enhance your emotional and physical health, boost your immune system, and increase your energy? Follow these steps:
In Bed Use your bed for its intended activities (sleeping and intimate encounters). 1.
Keep regular waking and bedtime hours as much as possible. This takes self-discipline but the rewards are worth it.
2. Don’t eat, work, watch TV, or study in bed. Associating your bed with other activities can making sleeping more difficult. 3. Sleep in a dark, quiet room without screens and/or monitor lights
Out of Bed
aglow. Use a sleep mask and/or ear plugs if you have roommates or live in a noisy environment. It may feel weird at first but you’ll likely adapt. 4. Be the boss of your phone. Use the “do not disturb” function and set it for the hours when you usually sleep (e.g. 11pm-7am). This way, you won’t get texts or calls that (really!) can wait ‘til tomorrow. If you have FOMO, never fear: if someone calls you twice, it WILL ring through.
WILD ABOUT
1.
Stay physically active - you’ll sleep better if your body moves daily.
2. Avoid late-day caffeine & nicotine as these stimulants work against falling and staying asleep.
Bonus Tip Keep naps short (45 minutes or less). Ironically, lengthy naps can leave you feeling lethargic and disrupt your sleep routine.

It’s all in the facts: Mid-day breaks help to enhance creativity and innovation. 50% of workers who took regular breaks increased their performance more than 33%. 15 minutes of a light workout will kickstart the cardiovascular system and give the brain a boost to enhance performance. When looking at a computer screen, it is important to take a 15-minute break every 2 hours to reduce eyestrain. The most productive people work for 52 minutes, then break for 17 minutes. Mid-day breaks help with the mind, body, and attention span through decreasing boredom and increasing concentration and the blood flow through the body.

All you need to do is show up with a positive attitude and work hard.

Group exercise inherently keeps you more accountable. When you have a friend or group waiting for you at class, it makes it more difficult to simply skip your workout. This support system is key in sticking to a workout plan and seeing results!
Variety: Are you tired of coming to the gym and running on the same tread-
mill for an hour or following the same strength training workout you’ve been doing for months? Group Fitness classes are a great way to try new and exciting workouts! With classes including Urban Bootcamp, Tires N Ropes, Cycling, Zumba, Yoga, and so many more, you’ll never get stuck in a rut again with your workout routine. There is always a new format to try. Even if you stick with the same format, instructors are always changing up their routines, giving participants a new experience and challenge every class!
80/20 ?
DO YOU EAT By Gale Welter Coleman, MS, RDN, CSSD, CSCS
The 80/20 Rule frees you up from having to be perfect or overwhelmed by food choices. You can live without obsessing about social gatherings, holidays, or giving in to cravings. You may also be encouraged to eat well more consistently without feeling pressured. And, we need the 20%. It’s fun! Putting the 80/20 Rule into practice: • In one meal: make 80% of your meal “clean,” meaning lean protein, lots of color (code for vegetables and fruit), healthy fats, whole grains. Make the other 20% a treat item (high in fat, sugar, salt).
The 80/20 Rule with food says: Eat healthy foods 80% of the time, then don’t worry about the other 20%.
•
In a day: if you eat 3 meals a day, for 21 meals a week, then 17 will be clean and 3 will be treats. Or think ahead and save your 20% for the time of day when you will enjoy it the most. Eat clean foods throughout the day, then have a treat at one meal or snack.
•
In a week: It’s your best friend’s birthday this weekend. Keep it clean all week, then celebrate throughout the birthday, which may include several meals/snacks/party food.
Using 80/20 thinking, you can get the nutrition you need to stay healthy and energized while still enjoying a balanced life.

to a Fitness Plateau
BREAKTHROUGH By Delaney Rader, Student Marketing Assistant, Campus Recreation
Finding a workout routine that you can stick with is great! Sometimes, however, it’s hard to meet your fitness goals by doing the same workout every day. Check out these tips to see results:
1
Increase the weight you use
2
Add a new move to your routine.
3
Up the intensity of your cardio
and decrease reps.
EMBRACE Your Body Type By Gale Welter Coleman, MS, RDN, CSSD
We all want to look good, but there is a big difference between rocking what you’ve got and trying to make your body into something it cannot be. Embracing your body type is a matter of changing your perception instead of changing its appearance. Although it’s not easy, especially if you’ve been criticizing yours for some time, here are some steps to help. Accept. You inhabit the sum of a million tiny reactions: a miracle, really. Write down every positive aspect of your body. Include all the things you can do with it and all the things it does for you...24/7. Appreciate. Develop a habit of positive self-talk, as if your body were your best friend. Try this for a day: every time you do X (like pass through a door), say something positive about yourself. Make the connection that your self-talk affects the way you treat yourself and the way you let others treat you. Celebrate. Build a practice of kind, compassionate self-care: feed yourself wholesome foods; move your body in ways that you enjoy; attend to your personal hygiene and grooming regimen; indulge yourself with friends and activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. As Oscar Wilde put it: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

Ways to avoid injury
BEST WAYS TO STAY (OR BECOME)
BODY POSITIVE
By Gale Welter Coleman, MS, RDN, CSSD
College can challenge positive body image, regardless of gender. Try these if you’re feeling the strain: Practice imperfection. No one is perfect, yet we think others are and we’re not. Perfection is an exhausting illusion that doesn’t give us much life satisfaction anyway. Let it go… you are enough. Figure your triggers. Certain people, places, and activities may lead you to feel more negative about yourself. Minimize your exposure to them. Pay attention to where you feel the most attractive, comfortable, and confident and build on that. Embrace the human race. Notice that there are all types of bodies in all shapes, sizes, and skin tones. What
you see in the media is not a representation of the human race. Appreciate the differences you see around you and your own individual looks. Skip the scale. Actually, get rid of it! The earth’s gravitational pull should not determine your self-worth. Retrain your brain. You have a choice about how you think about yourself. When you’re being self-critical, stop and pay yourself a compliment! Kindness is powerful. Talk kindly to yourself and to others as well. Promote the positive. Say positive affirmations daily to focus on you as a whole person. To quote Oprah from a Starbucks cup sleeve, “Live from the heart of yourself. Seek to be whole, not perfect.”
By Delaney Rader, Student Marketing Assistant, Campus Recreation
while working out
When you’re working out, it is important to keep safety in mind. It’s hard to meet your goals if an injury is holding you back! Avoid these fitness mistakes:
1 2 3
Improper Technique – have a skilled professional show you the ropes before trying that new machine or exercise.
Too Much Weight – know your limits and only push them when you’re ready.
Skipping Warm-Ups – don’t forget to spend 5-10 minutes preworkout doing some light cardio to get your muscles ready to go.
4
Not Stretching – after your warm-up and again after your workout, make sure to stretch out muscles to help prevent strains and minimize soreness.
5
Bad Spotting – for lifts like squat and bench press, you need to have a spotter in case you miss a rep.

Top to Keep Your Ways Stress Level Low
Living Wild! • B7
3 FOOD MYTHS
You Swallowed By Sarah Marrs, RDN
By David Salafsky, MPH
OK, so while nothing can take your stress level down to zero (some stress is good, remember?), we all have to find ways to keep it in check. Here are the top three ways to get there:
1
Breathe
While we don’t have control over everything in our lives, breathing is one very important thing that we can regulate anywhere, anytime. Try the 4-7-8 relaxing breath technique listed here to calm yourself. Once you learn it, you’ll have an indispensable tool to ease stress and anxiety on a moment’s notice.
2 3
Keep Perspective While this is always easier said than done, try a reality check. Bad days happen, expectations rarely match reality, and occasionally, life throws you a big, fat curve ball. The important thing is to try to stay resilient when things go wrong (see the next tip for ways to help). While it’s easy to focus on the bad, the truth is most of us have many more things in the good column than we often recognize.
Take Your “Medicine” You just can’t bottle the benefits of physical activity, laughing, un-plugging, or getting enough sleep, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t among the most powerful remedies we have to combat excess stress. Keep in mind that a little bit of planning and time management go a long way, too!
breathe here now. WANT TO: CALM YOURSELF? REDUCE STRESS? Try the FALL ASLEEP?
4-7-8 relaxing breath exercise:
{
It takes almost no time, requires no equipment and can be done anywhere.
}
Do not do more than four breaths at one time for the first month of practice. Once you develop this technique by practicing it every day, it will be a very useful tool and natural tranquilizer for the nervous system that you will always have with you. Adapted from www.drweil.com
Place the tip of your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth, and keep it there during the entire exercise. completely through your 1 Exhale mouth, making a “whoosh” sound. your mouth and inhale 2 Close quietly through your nose to a

mental count of 4. Hold your breath for a count of 7. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a “whoosh” sound to a count of 8. This is one breath. Inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.
If you eat late at night, you’ll gain weight. If you eat late at night, your body won’t burn those calories and you’ll gain weight. Makes sense, right? The truth? Weight gain happens when you eat too much, period, regardless of the time of day. Still, there are reasons to be cautious about nighttime eating. We usually eat late at night for reasons that have little to do with hunger (boredom, stress, etc.) and they add up to extra calories if you’ve already had dinner. If you’re going to eat after dinner, choose a light, portioncontrolled snack (100 calorie packs, low-fat yogurt, serving of popcorn, string cheese, and fruit).
Eating smaller, more frequent meals promotes weight loss. Research shows that increasing meal frequency does not promote weight loss or increase metabolism but may help control your energy level and appetite. Bottom line? Eating regularly will help to avoid energy slumps and eventual “catch up” overeating, but frequent meals aren’t the secret to weight loss.
Carbs make you fat.
www.health.arizona.edu
This statement may be true if it had the words “too many” in front of it. Too much of anything, whether it be carbs, protein, or fat, can make you gain weight. Rest assured that there’s nothing inherently fattening about carbs.

WHAT RESILIENT PEOPLE DO DIFFERENTLY By: Gale Welter Coleman, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS
Resilient people take setbacks and adversity in stride. It’s not that they have less misfortune; they just cope more effectively and bounce back faster. How do they do that? We can all become more resilient, regardless of our upbringing or current circumstances. A few factors that contribute to resiliency are:
Build and nurture relationships with family and friends; create a support network.
Develop a sense of purpose and related goals; focus on the big picture; make every day meaningful.
Challenge assumptions. Negative or inaccurate thoughts about ourselves, others, or the future keep us stuck. Learn from experience. Develop flexibility as you learn. Practice kindness, to yourself and others. Develop positive self-talk. Take care of yourself, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Daily habits

MINDFULLNESS
By Jenny Kuzmic, Fitness Coordinator, Campus Recreation
THE ANSWER WITHIN Would you like to be more focused, more productive, less stressed?
A “Taste” of Mindfulness Exercise:
By: Marian Binder, Ph.D., Director Counseling and Psych Services (CAPS)
Most of us spend a lot of time and energy rushing through our day, worrying about what’s coming up, thinking about what happened last night (or a few minutes ago), and not paying attention to what we are doing in the present moment.
There are many techniques that you can learn, such as breathing exercises or gentle movement. You can also bring mindfulness into your life in activities that you do every day; walking, eating – even typing your passwords. Prove it to yourself: pick an activity, slow it down, focus, and breathe before you start and while you are doing it. Notice how different you feel, almost immediately.
This sadly gets us a lot of stress, makes us think less clearly, messes up our sleep, makes us more likely to get sick, and diverts our brain so we don’t remember things as well.
know something about it: Mindfulness. It’s a particular way of paying attention with purpose, without judgement, and with relaxation.
The good news: Help is right there in your own mind and you may already
Research shows that mindfulness training makes the brain work better,
How will mindfulness help me?
The last time you ate a bag of chips or some trail mix, chances are, you grabbed a handful, tossed it in your mouth and didn’t even remember chewing or swallowing. Next time, treat yourself by doing it “mindfully.” Begin by stopping for a moment and noticing the food in your hand. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Now, take one small piece of the food and place it in your mouth. Feel, smell, and taste the food before you begin to chew. Then, chew slowly and deliberately. Notice that your whole body slows down and you not only notice new aspects of the taste and texture of your food, but you feel calmer.
TOP 10 WAYS TO
PASS ON A DRINK
Whether it’s your turn to be the designated driver or you’re just looking to stay in the sweet spot (BAC .05 or below) to avoid the pain of overindulging, there are plenty of perfectly good reasons to skip out on a drink
6
“(Friend’s name here) is grabbing me one”
5
“(Cheap vodka joke here)”
Here are a few ways to help you pass on one like a pro:
4
“I’m doing a detox diet”
(Drum roll please...)
3
“I’m in the sweet spot”
2
“Look – squirrel!”
1
“No, thanks!”
10
“I’m the DD tonight”
9
“I’ve already got one, thanks”
8
“I have a paper to write” or “I have a test tomorrow”
7
“Uh, I’m feeling sick” (acting skills here can quickly curtail any potential push-back)
Of course, there is no shortage of other indirect ways to avoid a drink as well. These include dumping the drink in the nearest drain, toilet, or thirsty desert plant (preferably outdoors). We’ve also heard of fake handle pulls, where no alcohol is actually con-
sumed, as well as the shoot and spit, where a shot is taken but the alcohol is spit back into a red cup, etc., when you “chase” the drink. Use your imagination, but by all means, stay in the sweet spot. We just can’t be held responsible for houseplants that are killed off in the process. Have a question?

Get tested if you are sexually active – Yes, you can have a sexually transmitted disease without signs or symptoms, so getting tested is the only way to know without a doubt. Testing is available at Campus Health and in the Tucson community through Planned Parenthood and the Pima County Theresa Lee Public Health Center. Added bonus: knowing your STD status may actually help you sleep better.
Practice safer sex – Only abstinence and masturbation are truly “safe” sex – if you are including a partner, start with communication, then be sure to use condoms, latex dams and contraception to reduce your risks.

Ferguson brings outside touch 2016 shooting guard Terrance Ferguson committed to the Arizona men’s basketball team, bringing length at the two-guard spot and a deadly outside shot that will make opponents fear him

T
here was more to the basketball madness Wednesday than Kobe Bryant’s retirement and the Golden State Warriors’ breaking the all-time regular season wins record. The 2016 five-star shooting guard, Terrance Ferguson, committed to Arizona. Even though the buzz about his commitment faded away and he didn’t have the bells and whistles that Josh Jackson carried, Ferguson may be one of the most important pieces to the class. He adds size to the perimeter and provides the range that Arizona hasn’t witnessed in quite some time. Every recruit has a reason to commit, whether it’s the player personnel, the weather or even the food. Ferguson’s reason was solely Sean Miller and the run-and-gun pace that he enforces. Ferguson is a system player and his ability to get in the lane defensively with his length and a quick shooting trigger is different. He is a unique athlete and he’s capable of honoring the process of the player’s program. “I have a lot of trust inside coach Miller,” Ferguson told Scout Hoops. “I love the style of play, and I just love coach Miller.” Standing at 6-foot-7, Miller is receiving the longest two-guard since taking over at Arizona, so determining where he should play could face a challenge especially with the returning players. But Ferguson and Miller have history. The player-coach duo was together last summer for Team USA in the U19 World Championships. Miller already has a leg-up in terms of getting familiar with Ferguson and his tendencies. Even if those tendencies are bad habits, Miller can elevate Ferguson’s game another notch before the season even starts. On top of that, Allonzo Trier was Ferguson’s teammate on Team USA. So with the guard returning and looking to be the leader of the young Arizona squad, having chemistry won’t be an issue. Chemistry is key for any player coming into a program and with game experience from Trier and Miller, the team should have that element. Ferguson will undoubtedly appear raw at some points throughout the season, but he will also play like a veteran. His future teammates and five-star All-Americans Kobi Simmons and Rawle Alkins are also familiar, according to Ferguson. “I’ve known Rawle and Kobi for a while now, probably since freshman year at different camps,” Ferguson said. “Me, Kobi and Rawle have been talking about [playing together] for a while and they recruited me heavy.” Ferguson didn’t necessarily stand out in the McDonald’s All-American game thanks to Josh Jackson, but his performance at the Nike Hoop Summit showed why he’s capable of being one of the best threats from 3-pointer. Ferguson tallied 21 points while shooting 7-for-11 from beyond the arc. Ferguson’s performance broke the record for most 3-pointers made. Nike Hoop Summit has been active since 1995 and Ferguson was the player who proved he was the best shooter to come out of the world all-star game. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Dirk Nowitzki, Harrison Barnes and Jabari Parker are just a few former players of the all-star game whom Ferguson outshined. Ferguson’s verbal commitment to Arizona was swept underneath the rug with other basketball festivities Wednesday, but when it’s all said and done, Ferguson will make the best of his first year in Tucson. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

Greg Byrne’s five best hires in his tenure as Arizona Athletic Director BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
Greg Byrne was named Athletic Director of Arizona in 2010 after a previous stint at Mississippi State. Besides being beloved by almost everybody in Tucson, the man has done his fair share of coach recruiting and bringing integral parts to the athletics department. Without Byrne, who knows how the $72-million-dollar construction of LowellStevens Football Facility would have been completed, or the addition of two new video boards, one being the largest in the entire Pac12 Conference. Not to mention the $80-milliondollar renovation to McKale Center during the past few years. Speaking of coaching hires, here are Byrne’s five best hires from his time with Arizona.
4
2
5
No. 5 Adia Barnes While the news is just a few weeks old, Adia Barnes ranks No. 5 on the list because of her credentials and Byrne’s ability to make the unthinkable happen. Barnes is arguably the greatest women’s basketball player in Arizona history. With the program’s running amuck under former head coach Niya Butts, Byrne brought youth and intensity back into a topnotch program. While Barnes will likely see some rough patches at the start, she knows basketball and brings tremendous upside to a program that had become an embarrassment.
1
No. 1 Rich Rodriguez Many questioned the decision to bring high-profiled coach Rich Rodriguez to the Arizona program. While he has seen his fair share of ups and downs at other programs, Rodriguez brought new energy to the Arizona football team. During Rodriguez’s tenure, the Wildcats have scooped up the Pac-12 South Championship, competed in the Fiesta Bowl and in a bowl game every season during Rodriguez’s time holding the Wildcats reins. That much can’t be said of his time in Michigan. Rodriguez continues to be the heart of recruiting and knows when to make the tough calls, his most recent being huge changes to his staff.
No. 4 Tabitha Yim Any time you take over a program that has been coached by the same man for 25 years, it will be a challenge. Tabitha Yim embraced embraced the challenge from the get go, leading leading the GymCats to regional success in in her first year as head coach. Yim was Byrne’s choice for a variety of reasons, including her relationships with students and her ability to compete at the highest level. Yim was one of the most highly decorated gymnasts in Stanford University history and she is a big reason why senior Lexi Mills recently qualified for the NCAA Championships on the balance beam. A feat like that hasn’t been accomplished in years.
3
No. 3 Jay Johnson Jay Johnson took over the Arizona baseball program after coaching Nevada for two seasons. Johnson was hired in June 2015 and has been able to continue the Wildcat legacy once held by Andy Lopez. This season, the Wildcats boast a record of 20-13, an impressive feat for a coach in his first season in the Pac-12. Johnson already brought a lot of tremendous talent to the Wildcats in just a few months. It’s easy to see why this was one of the top hires for Byrne during his tenure at Arizona.
No. 2 Tony Amato During his three seasons at Arizona, Tony Amato has been able to get the job done for Arizona soccer. Introduced back in in December 2012, Amato brought life life back to the Wildcats program. This This season the Wildcats finished with an overall record of 14-6-2 and were bounced out in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, the baseball equivalent of the Sweet Sixteen, against Stanford. In 2011, the Wildcats recorded just one victory the entire season. Under Amato, there have been many more; a huge turnaround for a program that had seen downs for many years.
Honorable Mention Laura Ianello Laura Ianello is a UA alumna who has seen great success during her six years at Arizona. The Wildcats won the Pac-12 Championships in 2015, the eighth in program history. Not only that, but the team finished No. 5 overall at the NCAA Championships, a remarkable feat. Ianello is a former LPGA professional and continues to lead the women’s golf program to new heights.

ARIZONA BASKETBALL head coach Sean Miller directs his team on court in McKale Center while playing against California on March 3. With the recent recruiting class, Miller has developed Point Guard U into Wing U.
UA becomes Wing U after commitments BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat
A
rizona men’s basketball adopted the nickname “Point Guard U ” for its superior point guard play, but the attention might shift to the wings next year. With the inclusion of Terrance Ferguson to the 2016 team, Arizona now has a number of options to man the wings. Ferguson was the highest-rated available recruit and this acquisition leapfrogs Arizona’s recruiting class to third behind only Duke and Kentucky. Although Duke and Kentucky dominate the top 10, Arizona’s deep, versatile class more than makes up for that. While Josh Jackson ended up at Kansas, Arizona still boasts the second—and third—highest ranked shooting guards in this year’s class in Ferguson and Rawle Alkins. Let’s not forget about Allonzo Trier : The second-ranked shooting guard of 2015 is returning for his sophomore year and averaged close to 15 points last season. Incoming five-star Kobi Simmons could man the point guard position and allow Arizona to overwhelm teams with size, length and athleticism. Part of the reason Simmons chose Arizona is because of pace, and few guards can push the tempo quiet like Simmons. Simmons could start right away or learn from returning point guards Kadeem Allen and Parker Jackson-Cartwright while he
adjusts to the college game. The case for Kadeem Allen will be interesting as he is a natural shooting guard so he could earn more minutes off the ball while Kobi runs the offense. With these players dominating the wing positions, five-star forward Ray Smith could possibly see minutes at power forward to maximize the talent overload at Arizona. Smith missed all of last season with an ACL injury, but he did bulk up from the 180-190 range to 210 while recovering. His athleticism and defensive potential could become a problem for opposing teams. Having Smith at the power forward spot also gives Arizona someone athletic enough to combat Oregon’s Dillon Brooks. Oregon’s success this season, with 6-foot-7 Dillon Brooks and 6-foot-6 Elgin Cook as forwards, shows this style can work in the Pac-12. Arizona has the personnel to adapt to that style. Next year will be interesting because Sean Miller does not typically have so many freshmen ready to contribute. Usually one freshman—like Stanley Johnson or Aaron Gordon—has a leading role while other freshman play spot minutes. Dividing up the minutes could get interesting next year, but this is a great problem for Miller. All these acquisitions, along with the 2017 Final Four occurring in Phoenix, mean the stars might be aligning for the Wildcats to turn Phoenix into McKale Center. — Follow Ivan Leonard @ivan14bro

Wildcats approach homestretch of season BY Chris Deak
The Daily Wildcat
A
rizona softball is in the homestretch of the season. Its five remaining series all come in Pac-12 Conference play and will go a long way in determining the Wildcats’ position when they begin postseason play next month. Arizona moved up to No. 17 this week in the USA Today NFCA Coaches Poll, one spot outside of the top 16. The top 16-ranked teams at the end of the college softball season get to host a regional, a huge advantage for the home team. If the Wildcats get hot and manage to sneak in to the top eight, they would host a regional and have a chance to host a super regional if they won. With the toughest stretch of Pac-12 Conference play ahead of the team, head coach Mike Candrea stressed the importance of the final five series. “From here on out, you’re just kind of fighting for the ability to stay in the top 16 to host a regional, which is a big thing,” Candrea said. “In softball, it is pretty clear cut and dry. If you’re in the top eight and you win your regional, you’re

going to host a super regional, so you’re playing for a lot right now at this stage of the game.” With games remaining against opponents Oregon and UCLA, ranked above them, the Wildcats can certainly make a late surge in the rankings. A road series victory in Eugene, Oregon, in the last weekend of April could go a long way in determining if there will be postseason action at Hillenbrand Stadium this season.
The pitching remains dominant. Both Danielle O’Toole and Taylor McQuillin looked sharp in the Wildcats 5-0 week. Arizona is second overall in the Pac-12 with a 2.47 ERA. O’Toole is second overall individually with an ERA of 2.04, which would be the lowest mark in the program since 2010. O’Toole proved herself against top-ranked competition this year with shutouts against No. 11 Louisiana State University and No. 15 Tennessee. McQuillin had fewer opportunities at such opponents, but she has still faced the likes of No. 4 Alabama and No. 7 James Madison. With plenty of big games to go, the duo will get plenty more looks against top competition. After a solid week of nonconference play for the offense, it is time for the Wildcats to even out their production or suffer the consequences of an unbalanced lineup. The offense was alive throughout the week and showed a more balanced attack against their non-conference opponents. Candrea thought it was an important week for the lineup. “It was a matter of gaining confidence again. We were struggling to get some production one through nine,” Candrea said. “I thought we were getting decent production one through four, one through five sometimes, but truthfully at this time of year you need production one through nine.”
The top of the lineup remains red-hot and the Wildcats made it a fifth week this season with a player being recognized by the Pac-12. Mo Mercado won the Pac-12 player of the week after batting .599 with a home run and eight RBI in the Wildcats perfect week. Katiyana Mauga now has 15 home runs on the season and is at 61 for her career. Mauga is an incredibly productive player who has showed a major change in her approach this year. She has 33 walks on the season and leads the team in OBP at a .493 clip. Mauga is one of the most feared hitters in the country and she has proven how good she is by adjusting to the approach her opponents have. For any fans of sabermetrics out there, Mauga currently has an absolutely ludicrous 1.303 OPS. The Wildcats know this is the part of the year that will define the season. Just like Candrea stressed the importance of the scheduled games left, Mauga knows right where the teams needs to be as well. “We need these wins,” Mauga said. “Especially because we’re at 17, 18, we need to get in to the top 16 so we can host regionals.” The Wildcats head to Palo Alto, California, this weekend for a three-game series with Stanford, which begins Friday at 5 p.m. — Follow Chris Deak @chrisdeak12

The Daily Wildcat • A17
BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona women’s soccer team will finish up its spring season this weekend on the road against the University of Texas, El Paso in El Paso, Texas. The team had three games on its spring schedule, and it has already played two, beating New Mexico in Sante Fe in early March, then defeating Grand Canyon University this past Friday in Tucson. The Wildcats won both games by a score of 3-0. Arizona is coming off one of its best seasons in program history. It finished the season with a 14-6-2 record while advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. Unlike the regular season though, the spring season isn’t necessarily about winning. The spring games are essentially glorified scrimmages, so Arizona head coach Tony Amato is mainly using them to get to know the ins and outs of his roster— one which will see its fair share of change. “It’s two separate seasons,” Amato said. “You have such a big gap in the middle from now until then and we’re going to have 10 new players in, so everything changes. So right now, we’re asking them a lot of questions. Who can fill what roles, what formations, what can we do, so that when the offseason comes for the summer before we start up in August, I’ll have some answers.” Six players from the team’s 2015 roster are set to graduate and five of them were key contributors. As a result, Amato is looking to see which of the returning players can fill their void, especially the rising sophomores. “For the freshmen that are rising sophomores, our strength and conditioning coach is a big believer in that it takes a full year to get Pac-12 [Conference] fit,” Amato said. “So in that sense we are with the younger players that didn’t get a ton of time in the fall and don’t really know what it’s like to be Pac-12 fit, they’re getting that right now.” For the more experienced players, the spring season provides an opportunity for them to fine tune their games or learn a new position, while the ones that didn’t play a whole lot during the regular season can try to earn playing time. “Getting better,” said senior defender Laura Pimienta. “Obviously we’re always trying to get better and the coaches are trying to answer questions here. We’re
trying to get some of the younger girls to step up and kind of have a more solid role on the team, especially those that didn’t really have that last year.” The team is also set to add 10 incoming freshmen once the fall semester begins. Since they have yet to join the team, Amato isn’t quite sure what to expect of them. He said he believes that some of the incoming recruits are “elite” players, but he’s trying his best to temper his expectations. “We always have ideas, but more and more it feels like you’re rolling the dice,” Amato said. “You have some ideas and you hope they’re good, but some of the players out there tonight, like Laura [Pimienta], who’s now a senior leader doing a good job, coming in as a freshman, no one would have said that she would be doing as well as she is, so you get some of that. And then there are other players that you think are going to light it up, and it takes them a year or two, so I’m done predicting with it, but I have ideas in my head that some of the players should be able to help us sooner rather than later.” Amato’s expectations for the incoming freshmen might be tempered, but the expectations for his team as a whole have risen substantially, making the spring season as important as ever. “I think we’re just trying to work hard and see how we’re doing in the spring to see how well we’ll do in the fall,” said goalkeeper Lainey Burdett. “And hopefully again get to the NCAA Tournament, but spring is all about working hard to help us move forward. It’s always about moving forward.” Arizona soccer has moved forward since Amato took over as head coach prior to the 2013 season. It had seven losing seasons in a row from 2006-2012 and Amato said there was a losing culture surrounding the program when he first arrived in Tucson. That culture, however, has changed immensely since. The team has compiled a 34-21-8 record, including two NCAA Tournament appearances, during Amato’s first three seasons at the helm. “We do have a pretty high standard now,” Amato said. “And something that I mentioned is that I’m pretty proud of the team in the sense that they’ve learned how to win … now it’s a winning culture and that’s what the new standard is.” — Follow Ryan Kelapire @RKelapireUA

Why did you decide to go to the UA? McGill: The culture, the people, the sun, the professors, the energy … My first time touring campus as a junior in high school, I felt alive and excited. I knew this was the school for me. What are some tips or advice you can give to the graduating class of 2016 as they face their last couple weeks of college? Rosenfeld: Be tenacious, never stop networking and building up your contact base. Landing a job or at the very least moving toward the job-hunting process before you graduate makes the transition into adult life much smoother. Connections are super important. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t land your dream job at first and don’t stress out if you haven’t figured out exactly what you want to do yet. What are some major changes graduates may face during life after graduation? Freeman: You’ll miss your friends and the lack of responsibilities you had when you were in college. You may think you have responsibilities in college, but you don’t. Enjoy that while you can. Just know the first year out of college is the worst and you miss everything. It gets better and you grow a lot as a person in the first year. What are some things you miss the most about being a Wildcat? Cheatham: What don’t I miss? Every aspect of that school is magic … I even enjoyed my classes. Greek life, football and basketball games, seeing my friends everyday—don’t take that for granted— and just being on campus. It’s a vibe and a rite of passage you can’t describe. Are there certain opportunities you didn’t take advantage of during your time at the UA? If so, what were they? What would you do differently? Rafacz: I would have done more with International Outreach. My parents were pretty tight-reined, but that is one thing I

miss. Once you start a career, you don’t really have the opportunity to pick up for a semester and travel somewhere totally new. What were some things that made you nervous about graduating? Rosenfeld: The lack of structure was definitely scary. Nobody’s on your case about getting things done. It’s all about self-motivation. Landing a job, in my case, was the top thing on my mind. The most important takeaway is to not be afraid to jump in and try a new career. Worse comes to worst, you’re not going to like it and you’re going to move on and try again at the next job until you find something that clicks with what you enjoy doing. Doing what you love is the most important thing. If you could go back and change something about your college experience, would you? McGill: Yes, I wish I gave myself less pressure and more confidence. The future isn’t scary if you believe in yourself. What advice can you give to soon to be graduates in regards to maintaining college friendships? Cheatham: It’s work. You don’t realize it, but friendships are relationships. It sucks when one person puts more effort in than others. However, remember that everyone is getting acclimated to their new [lives], so don’t take offense if you don’t hear from them as often as you used to. But make the time. … These are your life-long friends, the people who will be in your wedding and [who] will watch your kids grow up. What are some things soon-to-be graduates would want to know before graduation? Carton: Although there are of course exceptions, many employers won’t take candidates seriously if they don’t have a
local address. If you’re applying to a job in a big city, consider getting a furnished sublease for the summer. That way, you’ll have a local address and can go to interviews until you land your first gig. In what ways did the UA help you grow as an individual? Rosenfeld: In every way imaginable. College is a time for screw-ups and learning through past experiences. It’s about maturity and expanding one’s intellectual prowess. I learned as much about myself as I did information wise. What are some things graduates can look forward to in regards to life after graduation? Rafacz: A chance to take what you’ve learned to the next level and, if there is something you are unhappy with, a chance to reinvent yourself. How do college and professional environments differ from one another? Freeman: Don’t be inappropriate (or too drunk at work functions) until you know your co-workers. You’ll be left with a reputation that you don’t want as a professional. What was your favorite class you took at the UA? Sanchez: Introduction to global change. It inspired the path I took professionally. What is your favorite part about your life now? Cheatham: I feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be. I have an awesome apartment in Old Town Scottsdale, my career is on the verge of taking off, I bought a new car, I’ve made great friends postcollege and I really have zero complaints. — Follow Hannah Djavadi @DailyWildcat

‘Alice Isn’t Dead’ kills the podcast game BY Vicky Pereira The Daily Wildcat
“Alice, I … I want to start by saying—oh shit,” is the first line spoken by the narrator of the new podcast “Alice Isn’t Dead,” as a car cuts her tractor trailer off on the highway. If that isn’t something to hook a listener, nothing is. “Alice Isn’t Dead” is a new fictional podcast from the Night Vale Presents network and writer Joseph Fink. The podcast chronicles a female truck driver’s trip across the country in search of her wife, whom she once thought was dead, but now believes to be still alive. The narrator, voiced by Jasika Nicole, records her day-to-day journey through her CB radio, made evident to listeners by the static that cuts off the feed every few minutes. While the search for her missing wife is strange enough as it is, Fink makes it clear that this isn’t your average missing person case. From the start, the narrator comes across frightening, nonhuman creatures, passes through unsettling towns and finds herself in situations that would make even the strongest-willed listener check over their shoulder at night. Fink’s incredibly detailed writing gives the

podcast an extra touch of uniqueness. You can’t exactly call it creepy, but there is something almost hypnotic about the narrator’s words. This style of highly detailed and poetic language is a staple of his and is what made him famous in the world of podcasts. Fink and co-creator Jeffrey Cranor premiered their first podcast, “Welcome to Night Vale,” on June 15, 2012. This podcast featured their lyrical writing style and quirky subject matter. Set up as a radio show from the fictional

desert town Night Vale, the podcast’s host, Cecil Gershwin Palmer (voiced by actor Cecil Baldwin), delivers the daily news and updates listeners on town events in a city that is unlike any you could ever imagine. “Welcome to Night Vale” is strange, funny and downright charming, and has met overwhelming success, so there were high hopes when Fink first announced “Alice Isn’t Dead” as his newest project. While Fink’s new project stays true to the established writing style and eccentric feel of “Welcome to Night Vale,” the creepiness has been kicked up a notch. The narrator’s cross-country journey isn’t something out of “Paranormal Activity,” but it will unsettle listeners who are used to less frightening tales. The story keeps listeners on their toes, always waiting for the narrator’s next line, always wondering what bizarre situation she may find herself in next. There’s always hesitation when describing “Welcome to Night Vale” as horror, but “Alice Isn’t Dead” definitely belongs in that category. Fink allows the new podcast to stand on its own with the extra amount of creepiness rather than be a spin-off of “Welcome to Night Vale,” which was a common fear among dedicated fans. “Alice Isn’t Dead” also enjoys toying with time and the concept of linear storytelling. The narrator will often be speaking, usually recounting some event that happened,
and suddenly she will be cut off by static, sometimes right in the middle of her sentence. When she returns, it is as if the listener is picking up her CB radio signal from another place and time. She’ll be discussing something completely different, often addressing Alice directly. The static will return once she’s done and sometimes the listener will return to that moment before the static interrupted and it will be like no time passed. Other times, there will be things missing—a sentence, a few words, an entire scene—and the listener has to fill in the blanks. The nonlinear storytelling increases the mystery of the road trip and makes the listener wonder exactly how they are able to hear the narrator’s story at all. Is this story taking place in real time or did it already happen? Is this somehow being recorded or can we hear the narrator’s CB radio feed? Where has Alice gone and why did she have to leave? Who is our narrator, besides being a truck driver and Alice’s wife? The questions are endless and some may never be answered. But listeners can always hope as they wait for the next episode, documenting the strangest road trip ever taken.

Tucson Jams: A jam session with Deacon BY CHRISTIANNA SILVA The Daily Wildcat
ALEX MCINTYRE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
DAVE MICK strums his guitar and sings during Deacon’s jam session at Chicago Bar on Tuesday, April 12. Other performers at Tuesday’s jam session inculded Yamica Peterson, Paul Kalmen, Ricky Lee and Bryan Dean.
The evening started as it ended: inconvenient and confusing. The entrance to Chicago Bar is around the building and through a crowd of smoke and outdoor guests. Don’t expect a reward for your efforts. Deacon, who didn’t want to reveal his last name—because everyone knows him by Deacon anyway—led the jam session. “It’s amazing the talent you get out of here,” Deacon said. He then quickly defaulted to insulting the bar, calling it an “upholstered toilet.” The music started playing and instantly each musician struggled to take the lead, hungrily turning up their personal volumes at the expense of the group. Dave Mick, a guitarist and singer, stepped to the front and yelled out chords when the changes arrived, but each musician selfishly fought for the spotlight, so the chords sloppily changed over three or four measures. They were aiming for a bluesyrock, but landed somewhere among pimply-high-schooler-buys-a-guitar-
and-amp-to-unsuccessfully-wooother-pimply-high-schooler. Mick, wrapped in a tight, stained Marilyn Monroe tank top and garnered with a puka shell necklace, fell out for a few measures to fiddle with the settings on his amp. “I don’t like coming to these things,” Mick said, with beer-fueled spit flying out at each consonant. Mick doesn’t like being paired with people he doesn’t know or, as some musicians call it, attending a jam session. Deacon stepped up after a few songs and directed a new group to take the stage, alleviating the audience from the noise of jam session number one. But the audience was granted a few moments of respite. Yamica Peterson and Paul Kalmen individually took the small stage and filled the room. When they began singing with the bands, they become seamless and played together as they should. Sadly, neither Peterson nor Kalmen stayed long. In the midst of the music, a man walked in front of my chair, spread his arms wide and “cawed” like a bird. Ten minutes later, Ricky Lee was singing on stage.
Lee later told me I’m “pretty cute for a he-she,” smoothly melding the worst aspects of “creep” and “offensive jerk.” Lee quite incorrectly referred to himself as “the King of rock ‘n roll” multiple times throughout the night. The second group of jammers almost made up for the terrible company and tunes that arrived that evening. Bryan Dean, local musician from the Bryan Dean Trio, sat down on a stool and helped carry the group. The group sounded smooth, professional and the members sounded like they were having fun. It turns out this gig is completely hit-ormiss and the bar has a few jam session fans. Jean Rojo comes every Tuesday night to dance. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Rojo said. “I love the talent and I like the vibe.” And what is this so-called vibe Rojo talked about? “Smoke dope in the parking lot, make music in the building,” Deacon said. — Follow Christianna Silva @DailyWildcat

Past, present coexist in poignant ‘Only Yesterday’ THE REEL DEAL
WITH ALEX GUYTON
With “Only Yesterday” revolving around reflections on the past, it almost seems too perfect that the 1991 animated film from Studio Ghibli (“Spirited Away,” “My Neighbor Totoro”) should never see a release in the U.S. until now, 25 years later. In its native Japanese, its title, “Omohide Poro Poro,” roughly translates to “memories trickle down.” Watching this movie felt as if I was watching a memory trickle down from a time gone by. It’s 1982 and Taeko (Miki Imai) is a 27-year-old woman living and working in Tokyo. She’s single— “You’re not getting any younger,” her sister portends over the phone—and doesn’t care for her job. To break up the staid rhythm of her stasis, she decides to take a brief holiday to the countryside to help her brother-in-law’s family harvest the safflowers, the petals of which are the main ingredient in blush. It is during her preparations for the trip that she first recalls her youth, immersing the audience in a flashback to when Taeko was a 10-year-old girl in the mid-1960s. These recollections of her past are prompted by cues in the present and form one half of the story. For example, as Taeko packs for her trip, she can’t help but relive when she was a frustrated girl whose classmates all got to go somewhere special during school breaks, while she was stuck at home. Like most young people, school holds dominion over a large part of Taeko’s memories. As young girls who are brushing up against adolescence,
