UA to launch new UAGuest Wi-Fi BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
University Information Technology Services is launching UAGuest, a new wireless network that will require users to make a user name and password, which will expire every five days. Dragana Vasic, UITS assistant director of communications infrastructure development, said the introduction of UAGuest on Friday is just a small part of a long-term strategic effort to increase security enhancements in order to reduce any violations or illegal use of their services. She added that it’s also a way for them to authenticate users, pinpoint if they’re doing anything fraudulent or illegal and also promote the use of UAWiFi. “UAWiFi is a completely secure network that has encryption, and we really encourage our own users, faculty and staff and students to primarily use UAWiFi,” Vasic said. Students use UAPublic because it is sometimes easier to access since there’s no authentication process, or if other Wi-Fi is lagging. Angelica Ortiz, a physiology junior, said she uses campus Wi-Fi frequently—using whichever one gives her the quickest internet. “I really don’t care if it’s secure or not because I need it, and the one that does it faster is the one that I use,” Ortiz said. Vasic said they’ve recently seen around 4,000 people using UAPublic at once, but it’s been as high as 10,000 users—a number she hopes to see continually decrease. Since UAGuest requires you to recreate an account every five days, Vasic said it will now be easier to use UAWiFi, which only requires authentication once. Ortiz said while it may be a hassle to continuously remember your new password and user name for UAGuest, she will still use it if UAWiFi is experiencing trouble. Both UAWiFi and UAPublic are wireless

networks of equal strength and when you see one, you see the other, Vasic said. Neither one should be faster than the other; they have equal connection. She advises anyone having any problem connecting to call the UITS 24/7 hotline at 520-626-TECH. Michael Lewelling, an Information Technology Support Center specialist, said the implementation of the new network is an important step because it will increase security and visibility. “The problem with UAPublic is that pretty much anyone can access it and it isn’t extremely secure,” Lewelling said. “There wasn’t a way for us to monitor what somebody was doing to see if they were creating security risks.” He added that since the university is a big
research institution, it needs to make sure it is doing everything tit can to protect everyone’s information. Lewelling said they’ve been testing it extensively and people shouldn’t worry about it slowing everything down, because it simply is a new network and people won’t see a difference in connection speed or capability. UAGuest and UAPublic, the current wireless network for guests, will remain available in parallel until May 22. After that date, UAPublic will go offline. UITS has provided detailed instructions on how to access UAGuest and asks for those needing assistance to please call the UITS 24/7 IT Support Center at 626-8324. — Follow Chastity Laskey @chastity_laskey

Prop. 123: The good, the bad and the ugly BY Brice Lennon The Daily Wildcat
Proposition 123 is on the ballot for Arizona’s May 17 special election and if it passes, $3.5 billion will be allocated to Arizona’s K-12 public schools over the next decade—largely by dipping into the state’s land trusts. Prop. 123 arose as a compromise between Gov. Doug Ducey and education organizations after the groups sued the state for failing to comply with mandatory inflationary funding for Arizona’s public schools required by Prop. 301, which passed in 2000. If passed, a little more than $2 billion worth of the funding Prop. 123 would allocate to education would come from the state’s Permanent Land Endowment Trust, with the remainder coming from the state’s general fund. The trust is currently required to distribute 2.5 percent of its funds to schools. Prop. 123 would raise the mandatory percentage to 6.9 percent until 2025. Forty-two percent of Arizona’s state budget is currently allocated to education. Prop. 123 would raise the allocation to 49 percent, which has not happened in over 30 years. Supporters of the proposition argue this is the best way to improve funding for Arizona’s schools without raising taxes. “Arizona has about 50,000 teachers, and
teacher pay here is documented to be far lower than national averages,” said Christian Palmer, a spokesperson for Lets Vote Yes for Arizona Schools. “Teachers are leaving Arizona because of salary levels that are far below those offered by other states and other industries.” Opposers of Prop. 123 worry about the longterm effects on education funding and the lapse in liability for state officials. Prop. 301 required education funding to increase every year to keep up with inflation. The state complied until pressure from the recession drove it to default in 2009. The Arizona Education Association and the Arizona School Board Association teamed up in 2010 and sued the state for the funding they claimed they were entitled to. The case made it to the Arizona Supreme Court, where the school board won unanimously. Ducey supported Prop. 123 and proposed the measure as a compromise after a failed attempt at arbitration. Prop. 123 would fulfill 72 percent of the funding schools have lost since 2009. Not all people view Prop. 123 as a solution to Arizona’s education funding problem, though. Morgan Abraham, chair of the Committee Against Prop. 123, said it is just an avenue for Arizona’s lawmakers to continue avoiding their obligation to properly pay into education. “We can fund our schools the right way,” Abraham said. “The state has a $600 million budget surplus in the bank; a portion of that
money should be sent to schools today.” Arizona’s K-12 public education funding ranks last in the nation. The National Education Association ranked Arizona in the bottom five for expenditures per student in 2015, reporting that Arizona teachers saw a 9 percent average salary decline over the last decade. Supporters and opposers of Prop. 123 agree that Arizona’s schools are entitled to and are in desperate need of more funding. They disagree, however, on where the funding should come from and if fixing the immediate problem is worth causing a larger one in the future. Ducey and a multitude of other state representatives have verbalized their support for the Yes on Prop. 123 campaign. On the other side, Arizona Treasurer Jeff DeWit, among others, opposes Prop. 123 because it jeopardizes the principle of the state Land Trust Fund. Prop. 123 will be voted on May 17 and if it passes will amend Article X, Section 7 and Article XI of the Arizona State Constitution. The proposition also includes a clause that protects state funds in the event of another economic downturn. The success or failure of Prop. 123 will determine how the lawsuit between the state and the Arizona Board of Education is resolved. — Follow Brice Lennon @lennonbrice

Tucson ranks high among most affordable living BY BRICE LENNON The Daily Wildcat
The cost of attending the UA is much more than just paying tuition. Housing is one of the largest investments many Wildcats will make. But before we all go joining the Rent is Too Damn High Party and backing Jimmy McMillan’s 2016 presidential bid, let’s all recognize how cheap living in Tucson really is. Tucson actually ranks well among America’s most affordable housing markets. Tucson’s affordability not only appeals to students, but also to retirees. Forbes ranked it among the 25 best places to retire in 2015, citing a cost of living 9 percent below the national average. Rental prices also provide a comparison for trends in house prices. San Francisco makes the top of the list at $940 per square foot. Tucson remains on the more affordable side of the list at just $111 per square foot. The 2016 rent index for Tucson is 21.59, which means it’s cheap. This value means that average rental price in Tucson is 21.59 percent of the average rental price in New York City, according to numbeo.com’s Cost of Living Index for 2016. The index uses the Big Apple as the baseline, meaning the rent index in New
York City is 100. Essentially, the lower the number, the cheaper the living costs in that city. San Francisco tops the index as the most expensive place to rent. The median price for a one-bedroom apartment within 10 miles of the city was $3,096 as of February 2016. The average price of a onebedroom in Tucson is $599, according to rentjungle.com. A person could rent five apartments in Tucson for the price of one San Francisco apartment. Even Las Vegas has a higher average rent cost than Tucson. An apartment within 10 miles of the heart of the Strip costs almost 9 percent more than its Tucson equivalent. The Cost of Living Index provides an average for each city. For Tucson, that average covers quite a spectrum of living arrangements, from the $1,600 luxury penthouse apartments at places like Sol y Luna and the Hub At Tucson, all the way down to $380 apartments located further from campus at places like University Villa Apartments. Rental season causes many people to gripe, but renters should be aware of how low Tucson rent actually is. ZI YANG LAI/THE DAILY WILDCAT

POLICE BEAT BY CHRISTIANA SYLVA The Daily Wildcat
Looks like a Frisbee to me At 10 a.m., two officers responded to a call from the UA Bookstore because two teenagers, 15 and 16 years old, from Tucson High School were tossing a football around the store. The tag had fallen off the football and they continued to toss it. They went to the register and paid for a Frisbee, but walked out with the football without paying for it. The teenagers said they didn’t have to be at school until 11 a.m., so they came to the UA to walk around. One teenager said he meant to pay for the football, but simply forgot. The incident was used as a learning experience for the teenagers and they were sent to school. Don’t feed the preacher A pro-life preacher was speaking to a student on the UA Mall side of the Student Union Memorial Center breezeway on April 11 when he heard one of his a-frame signs fall over in the middle of the sidewalk. He asked his friend what happened, and he was told a female student walking away had knocked it over. “Young lady, you cannot damage my property!” the preacher yelled, before calling 911. There was no damage to his sign. He continued to follow her when he met the University of Arizona Police Department officer. The officer was dispatched to the student union on reference to vandalism. While on route, the involved subjects were walking west on Fourth Street. Officers spoke to the UA student who had knocked the sign over and she said she didn’t want to pursue charges regarding the preacher grabbing her arm. She was more concerned with the fact the preacher had recorded her with his GoPro video camera. The officer explained to her that she was in a public place and could be recorded and that even though she did not agree with what the preacher was saying, he was allowed to say it. When the UAPD officer asked the preacher if he grabbed her arm, he said, “She’s lying, I would never touch a student.” The officer explained to the preacher that regardless of what happens to his signs, he does not have the right to touch a student. The preacher said he understood. Kathy Adams-Riester, the dean of students, was informed of the incident. She told the preacher that the signs were outside of policy and if he wished to use them on campus, he could request Mall space on the grass to display them. The preacher said he had been doing this for 30 years and it’s never been an issue. Adams-Riecher explained the policy again and told him there would be an exception for the remainder of the day, but the next time he returned to campus, he would have to be in compliance with the policy and display his signs on the grass. The preacher replied, “I’m gonna continue to do what I’ve always done.”

Everything you need to know about weed BY AKSHAY SYAL
The Daily Wildcat
April 20 is commonly known as National Weed Day around the country, with festivities like Denver’s annual 420 music celebration in which thousands attend in celebration of cannabis culture. The movement for marijuana legalization has also been gaining momentum. Pennsylvania recently became the 24th state in the U.S. to permit marijuana use in some capacity. Pot, kush, weed Marijuana contains a chemical known as THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, which is part of a class of compounds known as cannabinoids. THC is responsible for marijuana’s psychological effects, among other things. THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream when smoked and is transported to the brain. THC acts on specific receptors known as cannabinoid receptors, which once active, are responsible for the euphoric feeling that goes along with smoking pot. Marijuana, however, can also be used through consumption of food, in which case the effects of THC would be delayed as the
user wouldn’t feel anything for 30 minutes to one hour. This is because the drug has to first be broken down in the stomach before entering the bloodstream. Medicinal benefits Users of marijuana may be thrilled to know that there have been many positive effects associated with the drug. Doctors, for example, are now effectively treating patients who suffer from chronic pain with marijuana. Chronic pain has been associated with diseases such as diabetes, cancer, HIV and multiple sclerosis. This pain is often-times neuropathic, meaning that it is caused by damage to the nervous system. Consequently, it can be very difficult to treat with standard painkillers. Cannabinoids have been proven to contain anti-cancer properties as they have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors, according to a study in the Nature Reviews Cancer journal. Two key components of marijuana, cannabidiol
and THC, have been shown to reduce one of the most aggressive adult cancers, glioblastoma multiforme, a deadly cancer of the brain. Mark Scheeren, chairman of Saint Jude Retreat House, an organization designed to help overcome addiction, gave some insight on potential benefits to medicinal marijuana. “There is great research out there that demonstrates THC being successfully used to treat epilepsy in those with seizure disorders,” Scheeren said. “Marijuana has also been used to help patients with cancer undergo chemotherapy as it helps reduce the severe nausea that the chemotherapy causes.”
The evidence has thus-far been inconclusive on the drug’s long term health effects. A 2014 study by the National Academy of Sciences found that marijuana usage actually causes shrinkage of the brain. Research published in the JAMA Psychiatry journal from the following year directly refuted that claim, stating there was no difference in brain size when users were compared to non-users. “It’s interesting because they’ve done research linking Marijuana to cancer but if you keep looking, you can find one that disproves that link,” Scheeren said. Scheeren, however, said he believes the risks are higher to society as a whole, rather than on an individual basis. “Having marijuana be illegal actually does more harm than good,” Scheeran said. “A lot of the damaging effects of marijuana come from the increased violence associated with a black market item.” Time Magazine reported last year that since the partial legalization of marijuana in the U.S., homicide rates near the Mexican FRONT DESK border haveACCOUNTING fallen.

Lax laws result in govt. corruption BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN
The Daily Wildcat
A
2015 Gallup poll revealed that 75 percent of Americans think corruption is widespread in our government. Is that number misguided? Spiro T. Agnew failed to report $29,500 that he received as kickbacks as governor of Maryland in 1967. He then went on to become vice president to Nixon and continued to receive kickbacks. Agnew resigned after the corruption was discovered and he was sentenced to three year’s probation and a $10,000 fine. J. Dennis Hastert, who was Speaker of the House from 1999-2007, confirmed last week that he molested four teenage boys in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. While the statute of limitations has passed for charges of sex crimes, Hastert was recently charged with illegally structuring bank withdrawals. It turned out those withdrawals were being used to pay one of those boy’s hush money, so judges are expected to take the accusations into account when they sentence Hastert.
The New York Times predicts Hastert will receive a sentence ranging from six months in prison to probation, as he is 74 and in poor health. It would appear that those polled by Gallup last year were not wrong. Even worse, when politicians are discovered to be involved in illegal activities, the repercussions tend to be lax. Agnew was simply put on probation and had to pay a fine that was roughly a third of what he received illegally. While Hastert hasn’t been sentenced yet, it appears it will be equally lenient. How can we trust politicians to make our country’s laws and policies when they are allowed to get off with a slap on the wrist for their transgressions? This inconsistency cripples our judicial system in multiple ways. First, it means that any laws created may be weak to begin with— since politicians know they might be the ones eventually sentenced under a law. They will want to make the consequences slight, just as a precaution. Weak laws are completely ineffective and in reality, almost as bad as having no laws at all. Second, if the politicians making our laws don’t follow them, nobody will. Their blatant disregard undermines the authority of the judicial system and of the U.S. government. When leaders set a
bad example, it’s natural for the crowd to follow, and these criminals are the politicians that lead our country. The fact that Agnew and Hastert, two politicians who held such prominent roles, could commit crimes and receive the slightest of punishments showcases the deep flaws in our politics. The historical scope of these two cases shows that it’s not just a modern problem— corruption and a lack of consequence has been a part of our government for a very long time. It’s ridiculous that lawmakers who break our laws are allowed to participate in lawmaking at all. It completely goes against common sense. Politicians who break laws should not get off so lightly. Perhaps, as makers of laws, they should receive more severe punishments, as they know the ins and outs of laws far more intimately than the general public. Blatant criminal activity and a lack of consequences feeds into the corruption of our country’s government. There should be real punishment and consequences for politicians who break the laws, or else the laws they make will be rendered meaningless. — Follow Marissa Heffernan @_mheffernan

It’s important you complete that TCE BY Apoorva Bhaskara
I
The Daily Wildcat
t’s that time of year again. No, not Coachella. This is Teacher-Course Evaluation season. TCEs are anonymous surveys students can fill out to rate the effectiveness of their professors, courses and departments—as most UA students already know. They let students comment on what they liked and didn’t like about specific classes, and how they can be improved in the future. Many students, however, undervalue the importance of these evaluations. There are some smaller courses and labs that still hand out paper evaluations during class. However, this is becoming obsolete, as most of the surveys are now completed by students on their own time—online. While this is more convenient for teachers who do not want to take time out of their class schedules, and for administrators who do not have to print tens of thousands of evaluations, students are less likely to fill out the evaluations if they have to take the time to do it themselves. Many teachers offer bonus points if a certain percentage of the class has completed the evaluations,
but then students simply fill in random answers to receive the extra credit. This is not helpful for anyone. TCEs are used to improve courses and by giving useless answers, students could be hurting future classes. While “no exams” would be great, it is simply not going to happen, and answers like that prevent courses from improving year to year. “Everyone should have full confidence in the purpose and consequences of the TCE evaluations,” wrote Dr. Fulvio Melia, a physics professor at the UA, in an email interview. “They may be far more important than many students recognize, because they have a meaningful, tangible impact on everyone involved in the process. The evaluations are taken very seriously by the faculty and their departments, producing changes to the syllabus (when necessary), altering the examination structure and generally improving how teachers conduct the class.” TCEs are one of the best—and only—ways students can have a say in how the university structures its courses. While it may not affect the student directly, as they have already finished the course, the TCEs filled out by previous classes have affected the courses they are currently taking. The general departmental questions could promote positive change in all courses. Many students may not realize this, but they also have access to TCE results. Students can log into UAccess Analytics, select “TCE-Teacher Course Evaluation” from the dashboard’s drop-down menu, click on “TCE
Student Report,” and search any class or professor to get a summary of their TCE results. Sites like RateMyProfessors.com are biased since students only go on to rate teachers they loved or despised. TCEs, however, have the potential to be very helpful—especially if students take the time to fill them out carefully. These evaluations not only help future classes, but “also have a considerable impact on the other side of the ledger,” Melia wrote. “Professors’ promotion decisions are based in large part on how the students respond to their teaching. And the TCE evaluations are also used to select appropriate teachers for the courses.” So next time you get the reminder email from the TCE Administration, take the few minutes to fill out your teachers’ evaluations.

Studying abroad is more affordable than you think it is, if you play your cards right BY jessica Suriano

ollege is one of the rare times when students have the chance to travel internationally while still continuing their education by studying abroad. The difference between going abroad now versus later in life is that in college, most students do not have the responsibility of looking out for anyone but themselves, making international travel easier than it will likely be in the future. Students often cite financial reasons for why they wouldn’t take advantage of this opportunity, but studying abroad is far more possible than many realize. Scholarship Universe is one easy-touse source for study abroad scholarships. Scholarship Universe is a website that lists the applications for UA-supported and non-UA-supported scholarships
There are still other ways for students for just about any topic or department not in the Honors College to receive imaginable. financial aid to study “Wildcats have brought in over [$2 million] each abroad.

studying abroad is well worth the hassle. It is an important venture for students because it opens their minds to new perspectives, lifestyles and cultures they might never see otherwise. Americans are undoubtedly sheltered because of their many luxuries and privileges. Studying abroad opens students’ eyes to how privileged Americans are, compared to those around the world who still have yet to gain political or social rights equal to ours. If students have the opportunity to see what the rest of the world has to offer, they should take it without hesitation. The availability for Americans—and especially American students—to go to foreign countries is yet another luxury not everyone in this world is given. So stuudents should take advantage of it as much as possible. They can be granted passports for a reason; don’t wait to use them.

This Week in Science: trains, brains, boats BY LIZZIE HANNAH The Daily Wildcat
Boaty McBoatface Britain’s Natural Environment Research Council has invested over $250 million in the construction of a new, state-of-of the art research ship. The enormous vessel, which stretches 128 meters in length, will carry teams of scientists to both the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans to carry out their research. NERC hopes the boat will commence its maiden voyage in 2019. In an effort to generate public support for its project, NERC created a poll that allowed Internet browsers to vote for the name of the completed ship last month. The name Boaty McBoatface won overwhelmingly, beating out the second place finisher by nearly 90,000 votes. However, while members of the general public may approve of Boaty McBoatface sailing the seven seas, NERC remains reluctant to bestow such a
tongue-in-cheek name upon its sophisticated ship. The poll officially closed on April 16, but according to sciencealert.com, the council will announce its final naming decision “in due course.” Neural engineering Doctors reported on April 13 that a quadriplegic man regained control over his hands and fingers via a surgically implanted brain chip. Ian Burkhart, an Ohio resident, became paralyzed five years ago after breaking his neck during a horrific diving accident. He opted to undergo experimental brain surgery, allowing doctors to implant a computer chip in his brain. After extensive recovery and rehabilitation, the computer chip helped breathe movement back into Burkhart’s limbs two years ago. Wearing a special sleeve connected to the chip and to a computer, Burkhart successfully stirred with a straw and played “Guitar Hero.” While the new technology
only allows Burkhart to regain mobility while he is connected to wires in the lab, his successful surgery represents an important advancement in neural engineering. Invisible trains Japan, already a world leader in locomotive engineering, announced its plan this week to construct an “invisible train.” Seibu Railway Co. intends to redesign both the interior and exterior of one of its current engines, effectively making the train entirely transparent. The company will conduct the project under the guidance of Pritzker Prize laureate Kazuyo Sejima. Futurism.com reports that Sejima and her team will plate the train’s exterior with mirrored panels, allowing it to reflect its surroundings and blend in with the environment. Not enough paper towels In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology answered
a deceivingly simple question: Why do puddles of liquid stop spreading? Until now, the mathematical formulas that have been used to model the behavior of liquid puddles have been flawed. The old models suggest that puddles grow infinitely large, a conclusion one can prove to be false by simply observing a puddle of water. “The classic thin-film model describes the spreading of a liquid film, but it doesn’t predict it stopping,” MIT graduate student Amir Pahlavan told phys. org. Pahlavan explained that the forces responsible for stopping the spread of puddles only appear at the molecular level; they cannot be studied through a macroscopic lens. Next time you spill a glass of milk, at least you can be grateful that it won’t spread throughout your entire house.

UA marine biology students, along with instructor Dr. Katrina Mangin, director of science education and outreach for the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, went on a field trip to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, on April 8-10 to experience marine life. The Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez, is considered a hotspot of biodiversity by conservation organizations across the globe. It is one of the most active seas in the world and many endemic species live in the northern part of the gulf. It has one of the biggest tides in the world, so visitors can see various species without actually having to snorkel. The UA is the closest American university to this diverse area. Students explored tide pools, observed sea slugs and even witnessed sea hares laying eggs on the first night. The group went to Cholla Bay, an extensive sand flat, on their second day. Visitors can walk half a mile or so out to the middle of the bay during low tide to see octopuses in empty shells. Students also visited a peaceful estuary site and witnessed flowering plants that live in salt water. Students also had the opportunity to go to town for meals and see
the fish market. Students had the chance to see an octopus hold onto her eggs and watch the baby octopuses hatch and change colors. Some crawled and some even inked. Sightings like these made the marine ecology experience come alive. “It is important to have that hands-on experience with the real habitat to see animals and the ocean when you are in a marine biology course,” Mangin said. “We are only five hours away from the ocean so it seems really worth it.” For many students, the trip highlighted the importance of conserving the environment. Upon actually seeing the marine life, people understand the importance of environmental protection efforts. “Marine conservation is important because it supports a huge diversity of life, provides a large amount of oxygen and absorbs harmful carbon dioxide for our planet,” said Nicole Fischer, a graduate teaching assistant for the course. In addition to leading a field trip to Mexico, Mangin directs long-term study abroad programs in marine ecology, including a summer trip to the Galapagos Islands. — Follow Varuska Patni @varzi1010

Biochem students shine at poster fair BY exene anderson The Daily Wildcat
The UA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted its annual poster fair Monday. The fair provided opportunities for seniors in both the chemistry and biochemistry majors to present their senior capstone and thesis research projects. Non-major students who have been working in chemistry and biochemistry labs were also encouraged to present. The poster fair allowed the department to showcase its many diverse research opportunities that are available for undergraduates at UA, as well as answer any questions undergraduates had about the fields of chemistry and biochemistry. This event has been occurring for more than 10 years and offers an opportunity for students to get experience in presenting their research in a professional setting before graduating. “This event combines students in CBC that are completing their senior research thesis, which is required for a biochemistry B.S. and honor students in chemistry,” said Olivia Mendoza, senior program coordinator and adviser for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “This is a chance to bring the UA community [members] that are interested in science research to see what CBC students are doing their research on.”
Research topics ranged from honeybees and mosquito wingspans to spectroscopy and litium-sulfur batteries, from biomedical implants and activity in ant brains to pancreatic and lung cancer and bone degradation. The poster fair not only showed that current students have undertaken and completed impressive research projects, but it also demonstrated the students have become competent, innovative and creative young scientists who have tackled an impressive task successfully. As an additional way to recognize students on their exceptional research, the chemistry and biochemistry department offered a number of prizes in different categories to account for the many diverse projects being presented. Prizes were awarded for emerging research, accomplished research—which is research conducted for more than two semesters—and senior thesis research. Additionally, all of those categories were divided into physical or life sciences. First and second place winners were awarded a monetary prize. Faculty members from the chemistry and biochemistry departments, as well as graduate students from the department judged the research projects.
We spoke with a veteran UAPD officer and this is what we confirmed: a sober designated driver (DD) will not be cited for having underage drinkers in the car. They will only be pulled over, and potentially cited, if they violate a traffic law (e.g. run a stop sign, have a light out, make an illegal turn, etc.).
What do I do if I get pulled over and I have been drinking? Be honest and cooperate. You are required by law to provide your name, driver’s license, proof of insurance, and car registration. Police officers have discretion about what to do in any situation. Their main objective is to get unsafe drivers off the road. They might call a cab to get you home safely and have you leave your car where they stopped you. Or, they might arrest you.
Whether or not you perform a breathalyzer or field sobriety test, or even have a blood alcohol level under the legal limit (0.08), you can still be cited for a DUI based on signs, symptoms, and driving behavior. You can be cited for DUI even if impaired to the slightest degree. Best choice? Use a designated driver or Uber it home safely.
Got a question about alcohol? Email it to redcup@email.arizona.edu
www.health.arizona.edu — Follow Exene Anderson @exeneanderson
If the officer suspects alcohol is involved, all occupants will be investigated. Everyone might be asked to take a breath test. If the DD is not impaired, he/she will not get in trouble for transporting underage drinkers. The drunk people might get cited for MIPs or, at minimum, referred to the Dean of Students’ diversion program.

ARIZONA PITCHER Bobby Dalbec (3) winds up to pitch to an Eastern Michigan University batter on Feb. 15, 2015. Dalbec has a 2.96 ERA in 16 appearances this season.
Bullpen struggles keep UA baseball in a jam BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
A
rizona baseball entered the season with its pitching as the biggest question mark. It was an inexperienced group of arms, though Arizona head coach Jay Johnson was encouraged by the number of options he had. “I think the strength in our pitching staff is probably in our numbers,” Johnson said before the season. He was constantly shuffling his starting rotation to find the right mix at the beginning of the year, and it didn’t take him long to find an effective trio. Nathan Bannister, JC Cloney and Bobby Dalbec have become a force to be reckoned with for the Wildcats, allowing the team to go toe-to-toe with any pitching staff in the Pac-12 Conference. “I’m very proud of those guys,”
Johnson said. “I feel like we could line up—we will line up—against some really good teams, and I feel good about how we’ll match up.” Bannister has a 2.92 ERA in 62.2 innings pitched, Cloney has a 2.72 ERA in 53 innings and Dalbec has a 2.96 ERA in 48.2 innings. They’ve been dynamite. Add the starting pitching’s success to the fact Arizona’s offense leads the conference in hits and runs scored, and the Wildcats should figure to be one of the top teams in the Pac-12. Yet, they sit at No. 7 in the conference standings with a 7-8 conference record and a 22-14 overall record. The reason? While the Wildcats’ starting pitching has been solid and the team’s offense consistently produces, their pitching late in games has sputtered. The Wildcats held a 5-1 lead against the Stanford Cardinal heading into the eighth inning Sunday. Dalbec pitched into the eighth, but fatigue got the best of him as he gave up three runs,
allowing the Cardinal to cut the defecit to one. The Wildcats were able to hold onto the one-run lead heading into the ninth where they would allow two more runs, which wound up costing them the game and a chance at a sweep in a series they dominated. “There’s a lot of disappointment in this thing, there’s no getting around it,” Johnson said after the loss. “We dominated the series for 26 innings or 25 innings [out of 27].” Outfielder Zach Gibbons added, “It’s a great one to win, but a tough one to lose. I feel like we came out and played great baseball.” The Wildcats found themselves in a similar situation against Utah two weeks prior; and not once, but three different times. Arizona led all three games of the series against the Utes until at least the seventh inning in each game. But the Wildcats gave up six runs in the seventh inning to lose 6-3 in game one. The Utes scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth en route to a 7-6 walk-off victory in
game two. And in the series finale, the Utes scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth to erase a 2-0 Wildcats’ lead. In other words, had Arizona’s pitching been able to close those games out, it could have—or should have—swept Utah. The Wildcats instead left Salt Lake City with three losses—a significant swing. Add those losses to the one the Wildcats suffered Sunday, it drops them to a 7-8 conference record and seventh in the standings, when they could very well be 11-4 and at the very top of the conference, instead. Considering the Wildcats were picked by the media to finish 10th in the Pac-12, seventh isn’t bad. Overall, the team still has exceeded expectations and put together a solid season. But, given the wins the team has let slip away in the final innings, you can’t help but feel as though it should be more than a seventhplace kind of year. — Follow Ryan Kelapire @RKelapireUA

New hire Barnes steps into rebuilding mode Arizona women’s basketball head coach Adia Barnes will likely need a few years to implement her presence. Once she does, there are no limits to the program’s success BY Saul Bookman The Daily Wildcat
T
he University of Connecticut took a chance on hiring a journeyman assistant coach from the University of Virginia in 1985, in hopes of making something of its women’s basketball team. Seventeen Final Fours and 11 national championships later, Geno Auriemma has made the UConn women’s basketball program the standard by which all other programs are measured—men or women. Arizona Athletics Director, Greg Byrne, is hoping for the same stroke of luck in the hire of alumna Adia Barnes. “We hired her because she is a great coach, great in skill development, wonderful in recruiting and if you talk to the studentathletes that played for her, they loved their experience,” Byrne said at Barnes’ introductory press conference on April 5. “She cared about them athletically, academically and socially.” There is a process to everything, and Barnes will undoubtedly have hers as she embarks on her new journey as Wildcat head coach, but what will it take to turn this underachieving program around? Barnes seems to have the idea of how to do it when she speaks about her experience at the University of Washington. “I know where we need to be as a program and how the bar is set and I know it’s possible because in five years, we did it,” Barnes said. First and foremost, she will have to assess what assets she is inheriting. Barnes is off to a head start with a top facility at her disposal. The difficulty comes in properly breaking down what tools she has to work with on the court and how to best utilize them— something her predecessor, Niya Butts, struggled with. The Wildcats’ play throughout the season left a lot to be desired. It wasn’t uncommon to see the players trickling out of the locker room after being down at halftime in a lazy, “I don’t want to be here” kind of way. So, was it the

coaching or the players themselves? Assessing this year’s squad may be difficult for Barnes with having to decipher between effort and ability. Barnes’ credibility as a player will undoubtedly give her an advantage over her predecessor. Barnes played at every level including the WNBA; she has also played every role in her career from standout to the end of the bench. Her ability to relate to players will be key in turning this program that has bathed in the soil of apathetic play for far too long. Barnes appears to be dealing with this complex issue by wiping the slate clean and letting the performance of those around her speak for itself. “The most important thing is to take care of
my team, the players and giving opportunities; it’s a clean slate,” Barnes said. There is only one departing senior in Keyahndra Cannon this year, so on paper, there doesn’t seem to be much wiggle room for additions. However, if you’re looking for Barnes to make a quick splash on the recruiting trail, don’t hold your breath, as only three of the top-100 women in the country haven’t committed, according to ESPN’s Hoopgurlz ratings. Next season could be the tone-setter for this program as the Wildcats will have six seniors. Losing that many team members gives the Wildcats an advantage in recruiting a multitude of players.
In addition, Hoopgurlz has 17 of the top-60 recruits in the country hailing from the West Coast or Texas. The ability and freedom to bring in that many individuals can set the team up for success in the long term, and one of the more intriguing aspects of hiring Barnes is her ability to branch out worldwide to recruit. Sean Miller, on the men’s side, has done this several times with recruits like Kyryl Natyazhko, Dusan Ristic and Lauri Markkanen. Barnes will look overseas in hopes of scoring a premier player and her experiences within basketball. In addition, her husband, Salvo Coppa, should help with that. Coppa is a coach as well with his family roots overseas and has several years of coaching experience in stints with the Seattle Storm of the WNBA, Montana State University and the Thailand national team. It is not known at this time if Barnes will add Coppa to her staff. One option Barnes may take advantage of is bringing back Charise Holloway, who sat out last season. Holloway could be used for her redshirt year and bringing her back as a redshirt sophomore would be a start, provided she remains focused. Holloway averaged 6.6 points per game as a freshman and hit several big shots during the course of her first year, including a gamewinner against Oregon at home. Her addition would lighten the pressure of having to find a player on the recruiting trail to make a similar impact. The road for Barnes will be filled with many potholes, but the payoff could be huge. Tucson saw a turnaround similar to what Barnes is trying to orchestrate years ago when a tall, slim white-haired gentleman by the name of Lute Olson flipped the script of a fledgling program in the desert. That seemed to work out pretty well. — Follow Saul Bookman @SaulBookman

Rich Rod sounds off on satellite camp ban Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez is not a fan of the new NCAA ban on football satellite camps. Rodriguez commented on the new ban at a press conference on Monday—held at Arizona Stadium—to introduce Arizona football’s new marketing campaign. “I don’t see how it’s that detrimental to the game of college football, so we use them,” Rodriguez said of the satellite camps. “If they say, ‘you can’t use them,’ it’s not as if it’s the end of the world for us.” The popularity of satellite camps— those hosted by college football coaches outside the radius of their university—has risen drastically in the past couple years, particularly in the Big Ten Conference. Proponents of satellite camps argue that they allow athletes an opportunity to work out in front of coaches who usually wouldn’t
be able to see them compete up close. However, coaches in the SEC and the ACC have argued that satellite camps give some schools an unfair recruiting advantage; both the SEC and ACC have rules in place limiting how far a college can host camps off its campus. “If it’s been overwhelmingly more good than bad, they shouldn’t change the rules,” Rodriguez said. “A few squeaky wheels got the thing changed that quickly? I think it’s silly and disingenuous. I understand if we table it and look at it for a year, but to table it because a few SEC or ACC schools don’t want to have it is not fair to a lot of coaches, a lot of programs and more importantly, to the student athletes.” Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne also commented on the rules, suggesting the NCAA will soon re-evaluate the topic.

Allen could return to his natural spot off the bench as a shooting guard, and Ferguson or Alkins could find their way into the starting lineup at some point thanks to their scoring abilities. The lineup can be shifted into a smallball look or Miller could choose to go big with Ristic at the center. The possibilities are truly endless. Because these options are so prominent, Miller needs to even out his minutes more so as to get a better idea of what this team is capable of. Players like Alkins, who is listed as 6-foot-5 and a swing two-three, need this time to find out where they fit. By evening out these minutes, Miller would keep players fresh as well. John Calipari, the head man at Kentucky, normally platoons his lineups, keeping certain players together at all times and giving them an even amount of rest. Miller might want to take a look at this option early on, but he shouldn’t be afraid to mix and match players, either. There will be a lot of young talent to move around on the team next season, however, each player will need a fair amount of time to find out where they will work best. Miller has plenty of time before now the start

joined in the frontcourt by Lauri Markkanen and Ray Smith, who is returning from an ACL injury and can play either the three or the four spot. This 10-man roster is deep and has the potential for a deep run in next year’s NCAA Tournament. So, how should Miller give minutes to his young, talented players? Miller will experiment early on, as he does every year when the team is new. The incoming team has more depth than he has had in seasons past, so Miller should think about utilizing this depth and giving more minutes to the bench players as well. Arizona has seen its starting five receive most of the minutes during the end of Pac-12 Conference play, the conference tournament and the big dance. A couple of players, like Gabe York two years ago, would get a strong bulk of minutes off of the bench, but others see the floor for only a few minutes during the game. Next year’s starting lineup could take a while to figure out because of how versatile all of its players will be. A lineup of Simmons, Trier, Smith, Markkanen and Comanche gives Miller a strong group of athletes.

Ianello, Radley work as yin-yang tandem BY Saul Bookman The Daily Wildcat
Every successful coach would admit to the necessity of having a staff behind them that helps the team trend in the right directions. Arizona women’s golf head coach Laura Ianello is no stranger to that thought. Enter assistant coach Derek Radley. “The important thing about a coaching staff, in my opinion, is that the two coaches have to be a team for the team,” Ianello said. “You really have to make sure a coaching staff gets along, can work well together, have good communication, and coach Radley and I— we do just that.” The attitude the two share is infectious and it is one of the reasons why the Arizona women’s golf program is one of the best in the nation, currently ranked No. 11 according to the Golfstat top-25 polls. The dynamic between these two coaches that makes them unlike other coaching duos is there is no good guy, bad guy method to their madness. You won’t see a Sean Miller-style scolding followed up by a Book Richardson cuddle. Ianello says she and Radley are extremely focused on evening each other out positively. “Coach Radley is left-brained, I am rightbrained and we complement each other so
Radley brings the technical approach while Ianello brings the game mentality, as a former professional who played for Arizona herself. For this reason, Ianello believes Arizona offers potential golfers something most other programs can’t. “I feel like Derek and I together as a team can help any prospective student-athlete come to Arizona and get better because of what both of us have to offer,” Ianello said. “Whether it’s mentally or technically, coach Derek and I feel like we are the mom and dad away from their moms and dads—that’s what we always say.” The yin and yang fabric of this coaching tandem is evident outside of golf, as Ianello said she has given life advice to Radley when he and his wife experienced the birth of their first child. “I have had two babies in the last two years, so us getting older a little bit and having families has really been a fun experience we have enjoyed together,” Ianello said. A harmonious coaching staff and success to go along with it is a rarity in today’s dogeat-dog sports world. These two seem to have the right mindset and genuine love for the program they continue to build.
very well,” Ianello said. “Derek and I, we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we can roll with the punches. If we’re not playing well, we’re both extremely positive individuals. If one of us is down, we can pump each other up.” This overall positive approach will be key as the Wildcats embark on the treacherous journey that is the Pac-12 Conference tournament. The tournament began Monday and runs through Wednesday. The loose style of coaching Ianello and Radley employ will play a big role in the natural tendencies to get tight in key moments of the tournament. Monday’s start to the end of the conference season will have the Wildcats seeking backto-back championships at Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton, California, one of host California’s regular practice courses. Ianello also says Radley brings a valuable dynamic to the program coming from his previous stint as a professional coach with his wife and LPGA tour professional, Sara Brown, for two seasons. “Coach Derek was her swing instructor and he is a certified PGA instructor. … So really, it’s good to have a coach on staff that the girls can go to for techniques and help with that side of golf,” Ianello said. The balance the two have is a complement to an already stellar program.

Barkeep appreciates hidden part of downtown H e y, Bark eep!
BY Kelsey Ropte
The Daily Wildcat
The Daily Wildcat caught up with bartender Sarah Cutlip at Barrio Brewing Co. to get the behind the scenes action of bartending at a downtown joint. Barrio Brewing Co. is located off of South Euclid Avenue and E. 16th St. Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending? Cutlip: I have been bartending for about six years now.
Sarah Cutlip
Barrio Brewing Co. Carmen Valencia/The Daily Wildcat
Bartender Sarah Cutlip making drinks for her customers at Barrio Brewing Co., located at 800 E. 16th St., on Friday, April 15. Cutlip enjoys serving customers in a bar downtown.
Why did you decide to work here? The atmosphere, it’s such a fun place. I mean it’s cool because it’s right downtown and a part of everything, but it’s almost hidden. You kind of feel away from all the other bars [and] all the other restaurants. It’s just really neat and I love the atmosphere— the rustic feel. It’s just a really cool spot and the people here are awesome. You look around and it looks like everyone is having fun who [is] here.
spicy. I feel like those are really good, especially in Tucson ... in summertime— nice and refreshing. What’s your least favorite drink to make? I would probably say any of those fruity cocktails—actually anything with a blender. That’s why I am really glad we don’t have one here, because those are usually the ones that have tons of ingredients. Do you have any strategies when it comes to bartending? I just look at the bar and I see what I can do from the one side to the other and get done. Take a look around before you start and you are so much more productive and you get a lot more done, I think, when you just kind of watch everything instead of focusing in. What sets this bar apart from other bars? I think the friendliness and the staff. It feels like you are at home, there are so many regulars here. Everyone knows what’s going on, they are saying, ‘Hi,’ and you call them by their first name. It’s a pretty cool place.
What is your favorite drink to make? My favorite drink to make would probably be a Michelada because it’s got the beer, it’s got the tomato juice—a little

The people surrounding her blur as unidentified rhythms and pitches scorch through her ears. Her heavy eyelids cover three-fourths of her bloodshot eyes and her head begins to slowly bob with the bass of the music. She is stoned and says the music sounds like waves. “It’s like I could feel the sound waves,” she said, slowly, with her eyes closed. “It reminds me of being close to an ocean.” Rebecca Bybel* is a 20-year-old UA sophomore who has been playing music for 14 years. This is her first time listening to music while stoned. “You just pay attention to things that are kind of simple or minor in any other circumstance,” Wiz Khalifa told Buzzfeed about smoking marijuana while listening to music. “When you’re high, you zone out on whatever’s important to you.” Marijuana affects how its users perceive reality and allows them to hear music in new ways. But how does it affect the actual musician? Jackson Hadid*, 22, a UA senior, has been playing and preforming music in Southern Arizona for 12 years and only recently began casually smoking marijuana. “A barrier goes down and you’re playing more honestly and from a better place,” Hadid said. “During shows, I feel more connected to the audience.” Hadid said it makes him think of things he normally wouldn’t. There’s a reason he thinks so. The tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in marijuana causes the body to release more dopamine. Dopamine is the hormone that makes people happy when they’re high and can lower artists’ inhibitions while they’re playing. It causes them to pretty much let go, or as Hadid says, “play more honestly.”
One study by the University College London found that marijuana heightens the brain’s automatic semantic priming abilities. “Under the influence of cannabis, users showed increases in both automatic semantic priming and schizotypal symptoms [anxiety, paranoia] compared with controls,” the study showed. Basically, as Hadid says, the drug might make musicians think of things they wouldn’t normally if they were sober. However, the idea that marijuana and music intercept is widely debated by both scientists and musicians. “I swear I’m a good musician,” said Audrey Welman*, a UA junior. “Until I pick up my guitar after I’ve been smoking, then I can’t focus and it feels like all my talent is gone. I don’t know how people do it.” One study by researchers Ryan Holt and James Kaufman showed that while marijuana might increase creativity, it isn’t a necessity and definitely doesn’t work for everyone. “It seems reasonable to conclude from the scientific research that any connection between drug use and creativity is largely manufactured in the drug user’s mind,” the study found. “The actual creative work is likely not impacted.” Many musicians use marijuana to unlock their creativity. But that’s exactly what it does: unlock creativity that’s already there. Louis Armstrong, one of the world’s best jazz trumpeters, said, “[Marijuana is] a thousand times better than whiskey—it’s an assistant—a friend,” according to thesmokersclub.com. A musician is not made by ganja and a guitar. Skill, dedication, hard work and intelligence make the person who might use dope to draw inspiration for their next gig. As Bob Marley famously said, “When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.”

Looks of the week: ‘Cats layer up BY EricA Szpylczyn The Daily Wildcat
There are some pretty stylish students all around campus who can show their true fashion sense during or after their school day. Since spring break is long gone and finals are just around the corner, temperatures are shifting back and forth from cold to hot. In the changing Tucson temperatures, shorts, dresses and skirts accompanied by jackets and cardigans are becoming very popular. These three students have shown their true style while trying to challenge the ever so changing weather. Gabrielle Copeland, a global studies sophomore, sported a laid back and cozy look with a gray ribbed dress, accompanied by a cream knit cardigan. The accessories were minimal yet polished with gold and silver necklaces and strappy black sandals. She purchased the entire outfit at Charlotte Russe. “I just love [to] wear comfortable clothes that are kind of different,” Copeland said of her casual outfit. “Even though I work at Charlotte Russe, my favorite store would have to be Forever 21 because I love the futuristic looking clothes and all of the clothes are cheap.” Kali Guzman, a psychology sophomore, sported a bohemian chic look with a purple wave patterned T-shirt underneath a denim
jacket and over white shorts, all from American Eagle Outfitters. For accessories, Guzman wore sunglasses from Express and flip flops from Rainbow Sandals. “I’m from California so my style can be described as very boho and beachy,” Guzman said of her relaxed and laid back look. “I love to go to American Eagle because all of the stuff fits my boho look and there’s always good things on sale.” Shivani Patel, a junior studying electrical and computer engineering, sported a simple yet chic look with a maroon top from Express, rose patterned shorts from Brandy Melville and white Converse. “Literally my entire closet is from Spain, so I would say that my style is a little more European,” Patel said of her Brandy Melville shorts she bought in Spain. “I would have to say that Zara is my favorite store to buy clothes because the stuff is unique and I love the European stuff.” Shorts, dresses and layering are the theme for this week. Cold temperatures in the morning and warm temperatures in the afternoon force locals to put on a jacket and accessorize the outfit to match the changing weather. — Follow Erica Szpylczyn @eszpy

he height of Beanfest is not at the top of a mountain, but around the campfire with 50-plus climbers of varying ages, recounting or meeting for the first time, discussing their achievements, secrets and future plans. It’s a fairly small community. The climbers are the real ones who like to get dirty and dangerous and conquer every rock in and around Tucson. This year’s biannual climber celebration of the spring took place over the weekend. The first Beanfest—though before the moniker—took place in Bear Canyon, located in Sabino Canyon, according to Mountain Project. It was the ’70s, a time of recovery as well as
suspense, and great things were born all around, including the mountain climbers of Tucson’s new ritual. You do not need to know anything about climbing to understand the point of Beanfest, which is a call for community in a select group of people who tend to only have a few partners they generally climb with. At its conception, a nasty rainfall interrupted a routine camping following climbing, and this group of climbers passed around a bottle of tequila to stay warm and ease their annoyance. Yes, at first, they just happened to be eating beans, then one of these guys embraced a tequilainspired spiritual awakening and began anointing his friends with them. The small group was skeptical at first, but today, everyone at Beanfest already does—or should—know and expect what is to become of the magical fruit. There were only a couple of runners and hiders from the beaning, and once you get beaned, you are not to
wipe it off. If you do, well, you’ll just get more edible goop to your forehead immediately. The fest is held every year at Cochise Stronghold, and alternates sides of the mountain range from spring to fall Beanfests. Each one is led by a Bean Master, who would have been appointed by the prior master at the last Beanfest. This year’s Bean Master Austin Sobotka, a philosophy senior, stuck to his goal of the weekend: just keep everyone alive and, of course, have fun and carry on this tradition that’s history he made available to everyone attending. He said there’s not much expected of participants; climbing is not even required as long as you show up with some food or drink to share with the fellow climbers ready to party, and as long as you are willing to submit to the beaning. “I had an awesome time at my first Beanfest, climbing and meeting some of the community,” Jack Lusk,
a Raytheon employee, said. “I’ll definitely come to the fall one and drag my friends along, too.” It’s silly, it’s fun and the games that come about after a few rounds of tequila may seem risky to an outsider, but you must remember these people live on the edge, scaling mountains for fun, and that the Bean Master is there to make sure no one gets too stupid. What began as a campfire antic grew to a full weekend away from the real world for this community, and it is likely to keep going for another 40 years, until all of Cochise Stronghold is taken over by people with handfuls of beans and everyone else knows not to come near. What better place to be hungover than a beautiful reserve far from all your worries, with lots of other people stumbling around with dried beans on their faces? — Follow Gretchyn Kaylor @notsowild_cat
