In her absence, Comrie announced and explained the UA president’s recommendation for undergraduate tuition and fees for the 2015-2016 academic year.

The strategic business portion of the UA’s Never Settle program was used as a guide in the development of the UA’s tuition proposal, Comrie said.

“The UA has already determined not to pass on the full burden of the $28.5 million out-of-thestate funding cut to our students,” Comrie said.

Mosquitoes could carry new troubles to Arizona.

Dengue fever and a second disease, Chikungunya, have started to crop up in areas surrounding Arizona, putting researchers on high alert about the looming threat the diseases could pose to the state.

Both of these viruses are known as vector-borne diseases, carried and passed by mosquitoes. One particular type of mosquito, known as the Aedes aegypti, is a known carrier for both Dengue fever and Chikungunya, and Southern Arizona happens to be within this insect’s habitat.

“These are fairly ornate mosquitoes, and they are fairly aggressive biters,” said Michael Riehle, an entomologist at the UA who researches the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. “They have become a real pest species.”

This breed of mosquito was common in Tucson and Southern Arizona until the 1970s, Riehle said, but then control measures with insecticides moved them out of Arizona. They were reintroduced in the 1990s into Tucson, possibly carried in along Interstate 10 from Texas in nursery plants, Riehle added. They’ve been in Southern

Comrie said the basic elements of their plan are built around five key objectives: 1. To maintain and expand the predictability in tuition for UA students and their families.

2. To meet the state budget cuts through a shared approach. To include not only tuition revenue, but also internal cuts, efficiencies and reallocations.

3. To establish a pilot of several master’s programs as part of the guaranteed tuition program.

4. Examine the UA internal process for approval of course and program

News • Tuesday, April 21, 2015 fees in collaboration with student leadership.

5. Use the Never Settle plan to guide all together in institutional priorities and investment.

Student leaders within the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Graduate and Professional Student Council met with UA administration many times to review all the components involved when discussing budget and fees, Comrie said, and they gave their list of priorities for the upcoming year and following years.

Comrie added that maintaining a shared approach to meeting investments in the institution to ensure the UA can continue to provide a quality education was

one of the student leadership’s top priorities.

Current undergraduate students who did not opt into the guarantee program last year are being offered an opportunity to enroll this year at the tuition and fee rates approved for last year. This will give upperclassmen the chance to sign up to lock in their tuition and not see a rise.

The UA president’s recommendation for the 20152016 academic year proposes a rate of $11,403 for incoming resident students. This is a $446 increase and a 4.1-percent increase from the current rate of $10,957.

Each new incoming UA student will automatically be placed in the guaranteed tuition program, locking

in their tuition and fees rate of their first academic year for four years.

ASUA President Issac Ortega said, fortunately, they face the reality of ensuring that every student that can has access to the university.

“There’s not a single person that enjoys seeing [the] tuition rate go up,” Ortega said, “but we do understand that we have to ensure some quality.

I’m actually proud, and I support this guaranteed tuition proposal for this next year.”

Zachary Brooks, three-term GPSC president, said they support this “as a very practical matter.”

“There’s no way philosophically we can support constant increasing tuition in the state of Arizona,” Brooks said.

Arizona ever since.

Unlike the mosquitoes that normally spread West Nile, the Aedes aegypti primarily feed on humans. When they feed on a person already infected with Dengue or Chikungunya, the virus enters the mosquito’s body. After about a week to 10 days, the virus moves to the salivary glands in the bug, allowing it to move into the next person the mosquito bites, said Kacey Ernst, a UA entomologist who studies mosquito pathogens like Dengue.

Out of all the people affected with Dengue, usually only about 30 percent of the people show any symptoms, which can range in severity. Those who show symptoms can experience an illness similar to the flu, with headaches, fever and joint pain, Ernst said. For more rare and serious cases, the infection can lead to Dengue hemorrhagic fever, where the patient can experience internal bleeding, as well as bleeding from the eyes and nose, Riehle said.

Ram’s research team’s findings will be published in the upcoming special issue of IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics.

According to researchers, this is the first model that targets chronic illness such as asthma by combining data from social media and search engines.

The goal is to not to just treat illness and disease at hospitals but to use this data to anticipate it. As a result, hospitals’ emergency rooms can better equip, staff and prepare for these situations.

Hundreds of migrants feared dead TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Hundreds of migrants are feared to have died at sea after a vessel capsized off the coast of Libya early Sunday morning. Here’s what you need to know about why migrants are crossing the Mediterranean by the hundreds, and what officials are trying to do about the crisis.

Q: How many people are believed to have died in the latest sinking?

A: As many as 700 people may have died in the latest incident, when their boat capsized off the Libyan coast. According to initial reports, the boat tipped over when panicked passengers shifted to one side as a cargo ship, which was arriving to rescue the migrants, drew near.

Officials have rescued only 28 survivors and found 24 corpses from the site of the shipwreck, about 70 nautical miles north of Libya. One survivor told Italian police that as many as 950 people were on board the vessel; other reports put the number much lower at 600 or 700.

About 200 women and 40 to 50 children are believed to be among those dead.

The passengers in this latest attempted passage are believed to have been from Algeria, Egypt, Somalia, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Zambia, Bangladesh and Ghana.

Also last week, at least 400 migrants bound for Europe are believed to have died at sea when a wooden fishing boat capsized, according to the [International Organization for Migration]. A third of those on board are believed to have been women and children. According to reports, the boat is believed to have capsized after the passengers surged to one side of the boat when they saw rescuers arriving. One hundred and forty-five survivors were rescued from that wreck.

In the week before Saturday’s accident, Italian maritime forces and commercial ships rescued about 10,000 migrants attempting the perilous sea crossing, according to the [IOM].

Between April 11 and 13 alone, more than 5,100 migrants arrived in Italy in 18 landings, according to Save the Children.

Q: How many people have died so

tribune news service

A vessel carrying approximately 200 irregular migrants sank off the coasts of Rhodes island in the southeastern Aegean Sea on Monday, local authorities said, and at least three people died in the accident. European Union officials gathered for an emergency meeting Monday, after hundreds of people were presumed dead in what could be the Mediterranean’s deadliest migrant disaster.

far this year?

A: Before Sunday’s capsize, some 900 migrants had already died in Mediterranean crossings so far in 2015.

Q: Are migrant deaths at sea increasing and why?

A: Yes. According to the [IOM], nearly 10 times as many migrants have died attempting to cross the Mediterranean as the 96 who died in the first four months of 2014.

About 3,500 migrants lost their lives or went missing during sea crossings in 2014, according to the United Nations, making it the deadliest year of all.

According to U.N. officials, part of the reason for the jump in deaths is that Italian coast guard ships and patrol ships operating under a European Union mission are not able to reach boats as fast as the Italian navy ships that patrolled

the waters until their mission was scrapped last year.

That mission, named Mare Nostrum and launched in October 2013 by the Italian government, routinely patrolled large swaths of the Mediterranean Sea, including areas closer to Libya’s shores. But with growing opposition to illegal immigration and the $10 million price tag of the mission, Italian officials canceled the effort in 2014, pressuring EU officials to step in.

The EU’s Operation Triton, a lower-cost mission, patrols only up to 30 miles off the Italian coast, and has been called useless by refugee aid groups.

Attempted crossings could also be going up. According to U.N. figures, some 219,000 refugees and migrants crossed the Mediterranean last year, and a record number, about 170,000 of those, landed in Italy:

Budget resolutions discussed among Congress members TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Congressional negotiators began narrowing differences Monday on competing budget resolutions, and although Republicans now control both chambers, experts see little likelihood of starting the next fiscal year with a funded federal government.

The budget resolution being negotiated by members of the Senate and the House of Representatives authorizes appropriations committees to spend an allotted amount in fiscal 2016. This will be a victory for the GOP marking the first time in years that a spending blueprint will be agreed upon.

It’s likely to be a short-lived victory.

Budget resolutions are blueprints. As such, they aren’t subject to presidential vetoes.

Spending bills are, and they must pass Congress and be signed by the president. Since both Republican budget plans are wildly different from President Barack Obama’s own proposed spending priorities, gridlock is all but certain in the months ahead.

Here’s the starting point for budget talks: The two GOP budget resolutions envision deep spending cuts above $5 trillion over 10 years to get to a balanced budget. The president’s budget proposal doesn’t balance, boosts spending on education and infrastructure, and is paid for with a $320 billion tax hike on the rich that will never get past a Republican Congress.

Similarly, GOP plans envision repealing the Affordable Care Act, something the president is sure to veto.

“How disappointing it is to see the budget resolution and process itself has become almost like a presidential budget — it’s just a messaging document,” lamented Steve Bell, a former Republican staff director of the Senate Budget Committee.

There’s another wrinkle. Republicans have deep divisions. Deficit hawks want to slash spending, while defense hawks want more military spending. And there’s a bevy of Republicans lining up to run for president next year, adding political calculations into the mix.

Republicans also must negotiate with Democrats, who are eager to give them a taste of their own medicine doled out when the GOP was in the minority and stifled the budget process.

It’s why some budget veterans such as Bell, now director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, are downbeat about the prospects for actual government funding being in place when the next fiscal year begins on Oct. 1.

Europe by sea.

Q: What other events have spurred mass migration on the Mediterranean in recent years?

A: In 2011, political upheaval prompted 26,000 Tunisians to make the crossing. Many of them passed straight through Italy and headed to find relatives in France. That same year, Libya’s “Arab Spring” and the fall of Moammar Gadhafi’s regime created a void in governance that has allowed traffickers to operate with relative impunity.

Recently, newly arrived migrants have said their traffickers forced them onto boats at gunpoint, despite poor weather, fearing that the passengers could be forcibly recruited by Islamic State fighters taking over Libyan towns.

FASTTRACK IT SUMMER TERM

>

Between now and Sept. 30, expect a lot of politics over funding of the government, warned Robert Bixby, head of the bipartisan watchdog group Concord Coalition.

“They’ll pass a budget resolution — which would be an accomplishment in and of itself — but with an acknowledgment that it might not be feasible to pass the appropriations bills at those levels, that they might be too low,” he said. “You might find the president vetoing appropriations bills and we wind up with another continuing resolution” to fund the federal government after Oct. 1.

Others are more optimistic.

“The budget process seems more on track than we’ve seen in quite some time,” said Maya MacGuineas, who heads the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget, which advocates balanced budgets. “Outside the budget process, there will be some things that will have to be addressed.”

And those aren’t small things. They include whether lawmakers will use gimmicks to shift some defense spending into a broad overseas contingency fund, effectively using smoke and mirrors in order to boost spending above agreed-upon budget constraints. A large number of tax provisions — so-called extenders — have expired and need to be restored and presumably paid for through cuts elsewhere or be allowed to add to the deficit.

There’s also the problem of the Highway Trust Fund, the source of about 80 percent of highway spending. It is scheduled to run out of money in less than two months. The fund continues to spend more than it takes in through federal gasoline taxes, and lawmakers are struggling to figure out how to fund this in light of budget talks and promised deficit reduction.

If the recently passed bipartisan “doc fix” is any indication, lawmakers might just punt on how to pay for it.

Since the late 1990s, the “doc fix” restores annually Medicare reimbursement payments to doctors who, absent congressional relief, stand to lose them. Medicare is the government health system for the elderly, and lawmakers of all stripes hailed the April 15 deal that put this funding on a permanent footing.

At a cost of $200 billion, lawmakers offered no plan to actually fully pay for it. Obama signed it into law the following day.

“I think it sets an unfortunate precedent, because you have all sorts of people heralding it as a big bipartisan success,” MacGuineas said.

So far this year, 23,500 have landed in Italy, and experts believe crossings — which peak in the summer months — could be on pace to break last year’s record.

Q: Where are the migrants from and why are they fleeing?

A: Last year, the majority of the refugees fleeing to Italy were Syrians trying to escape civil war there.

Now, many Syrians are trying to cross into Europe through Greece, and most of the migrants on the Libya-to-Italy route are largely hailing from Eritrea, where thousands of citizens are trying to flee forced conscription, and others are fleeing from oppression and poverty in Somalia, Ethiopia, Mali, Gambia, Nigeria and Guinea, among other countries.

Most are embarking from Libya, which has become the jumping off point for migrants trying to reach

Rape of an Alzheimer’s patient is still rape

hen we watched Nicholas Sparks’ famous bookturned-movie, “The Notebook,” we believed in the idea of sharing such a deep, passionate love with a person with Alzheimer’s disease that their sickness wouldn’t even matter. At least, that’s how 78-year-old Iowa ex-legislator Henry Rayhons justified his last lustful moment with his wife, Donna, before she died. Unfortunately, not everyone believes his story to be as romantic and innocent as a Nicholas Sparks novel.

As it was reported by The Des Moines Register last September, Rayhons is being accused of thirddegree sexual assault for having sexual relations with his wife, who was living in an assisted living facility at the time and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. While Rayhons argues that the act was out of love and occurred during a lucid moment, the home and Donna’s daughter are arguing that Donna was not in the right mind to consent to having sex. In fact, Rayhons was warned in an official meeting with a judge, Donna’s daughter and the nursing home staff that any sexual activity would be considered nonconsensual.

Before her death, Donna’s illness had caused her to wash her hands in dirty toilet water and forget how to eat a hamburger. It is easy to assume that consenting to sexual relations would have also been a problem for someone in these conditions.

However, when told by the nurses that Donna was not in the right mind for consenting, Henry Rayhons responded saying, “That is not a problem.”

Some may argue that Rayhons deserves the benefit of the doubt in a case that involves his wife’s love for him. But how can he be considered innocent when everything points to him being guilty of sexual assault, and his only chance of clarifying that it was an act love died along with his wife?

“There’s nothing about being cognitively impaired that means that you wouldn’t necessarily appreciate being connected with other people through both nonsexual means and sexual means,” said Dr. Tia Powell, director of the Montefiore Einstein Center for Bioethics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in a report by the New York Magazine.

Would there actually be such an ongoing debate if the two people involved had not been married? Of course not — had the man been a lover outside of marriage, he would have already been considered guilty.

Since when did love consist of taking advantage of a sick woman’s short moment of clarity?

We used to not believe that men could rape their wives at all — thankfully, marital rape has been recognized as a crime in the U.S. since the late 1970s. So why are people still using Rayhons’ marriage as an excuse?

When dealing with murder cases, the court simply looks at the facts that are given and discovered — the court does not consider whether the victim was affectionate towards the murderer or not. It would be nonsense to simply rely on this man’s declaration of his love for his late wife, rather than the facts indicating that lust got the best of him in that particular moment.

There is no definitive way that one can prove whether Donna Rayhons consented to having sex with her husband, but it is clear that her husband went against the nurses’ orders and warnings. This case should be treated just as all the other cases in which young women were too intoxicated to make decisions — by looking at the clear facts.

Detractors of Iranian deal probably haven’t read it

BY MADDIE PICKENS The Daily Wildcat

I

n a landmark deal, preliminary negotiations in Geneva between the so-called P5+1 — the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany — and Iran actually came to fruition.

Surprisingly, the fact sheets released about the negotiations contain detailed and specific information about the potential accords, which gives the American public the opportunity to actually debate them.

However, it’s worth noting that the announced deal only establishes the basics. The rest of the framework should be laid by the end of June, but until then, a lot can change, particularly given the resistance of — ahem — certain members of Congress, as well as the fickle nature of Iran’s regime.

Part of what has made the released terms so revolutionary is the extent of Iran’s concessions. The P5+1 is getting almost everything it wants in terms of the number of centrifuges and nuclear facilities Iran is permitted, the timing of regular inspections and the amount of enriched uranium they can have

in their stockpile.

Essentially, these sanctions serve to limit what nuclear proliferation experts refer to as “breakout time” — the amount of time it would take Iran’s regime to build a bomb.

Currently, breakout time for Iran is a mere two to three months, but the time is estimated to increase to a year with the new restrictions.

For all detractors who are concerned about Iran’s newfound ability to possess nuclear technology — Iran already does.

Now, the copious inspections provided for by the deal will make it harder for Iran to act on this technology and make it nigh on impossible to develop secret nuclear facilities.

Meanwhile, the concessions the U.S. has made are actually fairly minimal — while they are removing some sanctions, they are not removing those that were in place due to human rights violations.

The sanctions that they are removing can only help the Iranian people, the majority of whom support improved relations with the U.S. “No wonder they celebrated the news of the deal in the streets of Tehran by dancing, honking and cheering,” said professor Kamran Talattof of UA School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies.

“This deal and the loosening of the sanctions … will provide them with

a better opportunity to participate in social processes which [are] necessary for civil society building.”

The deal is, however, imperfect, as Republican Congressmen in particular are quick to point out.

First of all, it could fall apart uncomfortably quickly. Specifics of the timetable still have to be worked out. Regional instability, including suspicion and lack of trust between Sunni Arab states and officially Shia Iran. Domestic sales pitches in the U.S. could alienate Iranian leaders.

Most importantly, Republican leaders have made their opposition extremely vocal — so vocal that 47 senators signed an open letter to Iran declaring that any deal struck with the Obama administration would be discontinued under a Republican president.

It’s not just Republicans who want control, either. This week, the Senate passed a bill that would essentially give them a final vote in any deal that is struck with Iran, narrowing the chances that it might pass.

The pros of this deal still far outweigh the cons. Iran now has a defined set of restrictions that will prevent them from developing a bomb. Regular inspections will keep them honest. Removing some of the economic sanctions will hopefully allow the general populace to improve their way of life.

More importantly, part of what has kept economic sanctions effective against Iran has been the combined efforts of multiple countries. If those same countries watch the U.S. bungle a potential deal, they could lose faith and pull out, weakening the sanctions Republicans are supposedly trying to protect by opposing this deal and making our eventual bargaining power much lower.

This deal might also be the best we can get.

“We missed an opportunity to resolve this issue in 2003 by refusing to negotiate, and as a result we are in a much more difficult bargaining position today,” said associate professor Faten Ghosn of the UA School of Government and Public Policy.

In short, Congress — and by extension, the American public — can do much better than to reject this deal on principle. Rather, they should consider the real meaning of the terms contained within it.

If nuclear proliferation experts are celebrating the extent of Iran’s concessions worldwide — and they are — perhaps that testimony should be taken to heart.

This land is our land. Don’t sell it.

BY ASHWIN MEHRA The Daily Wildcat

T

here have been few U.S. conservationists as great as Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican president who created the United States Forest Service and once said about the natural wonders and resources of the U.S., “Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” Yet, modern Republicans seem to have no problem doing just that.

A few weeks ago, almost every Republican in the U.S. Senate — and not a single Democrat — decided to pass Senate Amendment 838, an addition to the 2016 budget. The amendment allows the federal government to transfer control of any federal land “that is not within the boundaries of a National Park, National Preserve or National Monument.” This includes wildlife refuges and national forests.

This seems innocuous enough — until you look at recent efforts regarding federal lands in certain Republican states. In fact, there’s no need to look further than Arizona, where the (largely Republican) Legislature passed two bills requiring federal lands to be returned to Arizona.

To Gov. Doug Ducey’s rare credit, he did veto them last week, though he also established a committee to study whether this is a good idea.

Spoiler alert: It isn’t.

According to the Arizona Capitol Times, the Republicans wanted to use those lands to make money for Arizona, probably to make up for the money Ducey keeps throwing at private prisons that give him and his party donations.

Instead, Ducey prefers to gut education and, in Roosevelt’s words, skin the country of its beauty and riches.

How will the land be used to make money?

The goal is to turn it over to private companies to be stripped of its resources. Similar older bills in Arizona and Utah were, according to The Associated Press, endorsed by the American Legislative Exchange Council, which is funded by companies like ExxonMobil and the Koch brothers, which stand to benefit from being sold those lands.

The vote on S.A. 838 shows that this is no longer just an issue confined to a few western states or a matter of extremist local politics.

Mainstream Republicans voted yes, including Arizona’s own Sen. John McCain, giving in to the greedy interests Roosevelt warned of.

And it’s not like their constituents support these measures. The Colorado College State of the Rockies Project, which conducts a yearly conservation poll, found 70 percent of Arizonans in January opposed selling public lands to reduce the budget deficit. In fact, Arizona voters defeated Proposition 120 in 2012, a ballot measure to give Arizona sovereignty over its national resources, including public lands.

Even if Arizona voters had passed Prop

120, these measures are still unconstitutional.

Arizona gave up its claim to federal lands within its borders when it became a state, as defined in its constitution.

This makes the S.A. 838 vote all the more troubling, though, as the federal government would be able to grant those lands back to individual states under the guise of states’ rights.

If S.A. 838 becomes law, the government could just hand over the almost-300 thousand square miles of national forests to states, which can then auction it all off to private companies. And those companies, as a thank you, will probably donate some of the profits to the Republicans.

It’s time for the GOP to look past the excuse of states’ rights and the simplistic notion that government is bad. It should instead stop letting private companies do whatever they want. Public lands are an important part of this country’s heritage, and the Republicans used to understand that. It was them, after all, who created the beautiful system of national parks and forests in the U.S., the system that they are now working hard to destroy.

Perhaps Republican lawmakers should step outside and look at this country’s beauty, riches and romance. If they end up having their way, they’ll be the last generation that gets to do so.

POLICE BEAT

BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

Hands up, down on the ground

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was stopped at a red light on Speedway Boulevard when he heard several screams coming from a woman at UA Lot 2025 on April 6 at 4:56 a.m.

The officer stuck his head out of his car window and saw a man getting physical with a woman. He turned his vehicle around to investigate and saw the man shove the woman into a car. They were given orders to stop, put their hands up and get on the ground; the woman complied. The man did not. The man continued to ignore the officer’s orders, getting closer to the car’s open door.

As a result, the officer pulled out his weapon. The man finally dropped down on his knees with his hands up. When another officer arrived on the scene, he saw a second man in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. All three individuals were handcuffed.

The woman said she and her boyfriend were both evicted from the Oasis Motel and were now homeless and down on their luck; they were also expecting a baby.

An argument started, so they pulled into the parking lot, and the woman decided to walk. Her boyfriend did not want her to leave, so he was trying to get her back into the car.

Despite the screams the officer heard, the woman denied any abuse. When the man was questioned, his story matched his girlfriend’s, but he tried to make it seem like no big deal. As he was seen holding his girlfriend against her will, the man was arrested for assault and disorderly conduct and taken to Pima County Jail. The driver of the vehicle gave the woman a ride to her friend’s house.

Where’s my bike?

A UA employee reported her bike was stolen from the corner of the Life Sciences North building on April 7 at 4:34 p.m.

The employee said she last saw her bike secured to the bike rack near the building at 8 a.m., and it was missing eight hours later. She claimed the silver road bicycle was a “Dolce” model and it was “specialized” with white “Bontrager” wheels each worth about $400. The entire bike was reportedly worth about $3,000.

The woman said she secured her bike by removing the front tire and then running a “Kryptonite KryptoFlex” cable lock through both tires and the frame. When she returned, the lock was cut and left on the ground.

According to UAPD, the bike was not registered with UA Parking and Transportation Services, so the woman could not give them the serial number immediately, but would be able to supply them with more information at a later date.

The employee was sent a victim’s rights form and told authorities she wanted to be included in any further action taken.

Arizona drops Oregon State series on road

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona coach Mike Candrea offered some foreshadowing intuition before Arizona softball traveled to Utah and lost two of three games over the weekend.

“In this league, with the way the hitters are right now, you have to be pretty special to sit out there for seven innings,” Candrea said.

Over the three-game series, not one Wildcat pitcher stayed out on the mound for all seven innings.

Not even close.

The longest outing was by Michelle Floyd, who twice made it through 3.2 innings, recording roughly half of Arizona’s outs.

In fact, all three games featured appearances from all three Arizona pitchers — Floyd, Trish Parks and Siera Phillips. The trio combined to allow 20 runs, 18 of them earned.

So long are the days when Candrea could hand the ball over to a Taryne Mowatt or Alicia Hollowell — two Women’s College World Series winning pitchers — and expect a seven inning performance.

In 2003, Hollowell led the UA with 44 starts and 38 complete games. More than three-quarters of the way through the 2015 season, the Arizona staff has produced 19 complete games collectively.

“All over the country you’re seeing more teams that really need a pitching staff than the one or two horses that we used to have,” Candrea said.

That change in mindset is the result of a fundamental shift occurring in the sport of college

Wildcats drop down power rankings again

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

1. No. 2 (USA T o d a y ) UCLA (28-8, 14-4 Pac-12 Conference) The Bruins improved to 6-0 in midweek games with a win over local rival Cal State Fullerton. Then, UCLA beat NorCal rival California twice to stay in first.

Last week: first, W vs. Cal State Fullerton 7-2, LWW vs. Cal 2-0, 7-1, 2-1 This week: vs. UC Irvine (23-13, 10-2 Big West) (single game), at Stanford (16-21, 4-11) 2. No. 7 USC (29-10, 10-5) The Trojans rebounded from their series loss to UCLA by winning

three of four last week. Up next, they travel to Oregon State, leaving Southern California for the first time in eight games.

t’s been awhile since I wrote a column and, unfortunately for the Arizona baseball team, it’s also been a while since its last Pac-12 Conference series win.

It seemed like the team was unstoppable after the Wildcats swept Oregon at Hi Corbett Field near the end of March.

The team has definitely been stopped.

The USC Trojans visited Tucson the weekend after the Oregon series and completely brought the brooms out.

Arizona then lost the series against ASU and Oregon State.

The Wildcats had a pretty good shot at playing in June, but now that shot looks questionable.

Arizona cracked in some top-25 rankings after sweeping the Ducks, but lost that privilege after losing three conference series in a row.

Next up for Arizona is a home series against California, after facing ASU on Wednesday.

Cal is above Arizona in the conference standings, with just one more Pac-12 win, and will visit Tucson coming off a series loss against UCLA. Putting things in perspective, Arizona has lost seven times in nine games.

Sure, the team has already surpassed last year’s total wins, but that’s not enough for the guys who seek to play in June.

What does Arizona coach Andy Lopez and his team have to do to bounce back and win a series? They can start by working on their pitching.

4.

Oregon State (25-12, 8-7) The Beavers rebounded from their series loss to Oregon to beat fellow middle-ofthe-Pac team Arizona. OSU is 2-1 so far on this home stand, with a series against USC to come.

TRACK & FIELD

Elvin Kibet sets school, personal record

BY BRANDON JAMES The Daily Wildcat

Over the weekend, Arizona track and field sent its distance and throwing teams to Walnut, Calif., to compete in the Mt. SAC Relays, and its sprint team to Louisiana State University for the LSU Alumni Gold Classic.

In California, Collins Kibet placed in fourth in the “A” section of the 800-meter run at the Mt. SAC Relays, running the second best time of his career with a time of 1:47.23.

Collins Kibet, who also competed in the 1500-meter run, said he thought his 800-meter race went pretty well, but also said he still

thinks he improved and can do better in events going forward.

In the 5K run, Collins Kibet’s sister, Elvin Kibet, set a new school record and a new personal record, finishing in 15:36.08. She finished fourth overall in the event and had the best time amongst all the collegiate competitors. Her time was also the fourth fastest in the country this year.

In the discus throw competition, Gerhard de Beer tossed a mark of 58.95 meters, a personal record and the 10th best mark in the country this year. Molly Callahan ran the 3000-meter steeplechase for the first time in over two years, and she was able to clock a mark of 10:49.87, the eighth-best time in the UA’s history.

When evaluating his team’s performance at LSU on Saturday, Arizona coach Fred Harvey said he felt his team could have done better.

“I thought we had an average meet with some standout performances,” Harvey said in an Arizona Athletics video.

Of the standout performances, Harvey said Tatum Waggoner stood out the most. In the “B” section of the 400-meter dash, Waggoner placed in third with a time of 54.09, beating her previous time by a second-anda-half, Harvey said in a press release.

Waggoner had already set personal records in the 200-meter race, Harvey said, but she was struggling in the 400-meter dash

until her breakout performance on Saturday.

“She’s the most complex athlete I’ve ever had the chance to be around,” Harvey said.

Other standout performances included the men’s 4x400 relay team consisting of Blake Eichler, Bryce Houston, Pete Lauderdale II and Miles Parish. They placed in second with a 3:07.04 time, and they set the second-best 4x400 time in UA history.

The women’s 4x400 relay team took sixth and featured Waggoner, Jasper Gray, Katelin Warren and Gia Trevisan, running a time of 3:44.08.

In the women’s long jump, Aleah Hurst finished in third place and set

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 6

Although the pitching was more consistent during the OSU series than the ASU series, there’s still some room for improvement on the defensive end. The main reason for the losses is what’s happening on the mound.

The team is pitching to a 4.07 ERA, which stands at the bottom half of the Pac-12 pitching rankings, just above Stanford and Utah.

A talented and deep offense has been the reason why Arizona hasn’t been as bad as Utah and Stanford this season, as the Wildcats lead the conference with a .313 team batting average.

You can start by looking at Bobby Dalbec’s recent performances at the plate.

The sophomore is leading the Pac-12 with 12 home runs on the season; and let’s make it clear that the Wildcats probably would have left Tempe on the wrong end of a sweep, against their rivals, if it wasn’t for his

a personal best mark of 6.02 meters, and Harvey said he believes she can improve on that mark even more if she gains more confidence in herself.

Parish ran a time of 52.10 in the 400-meter hurdles and finished in third, and Harvey said he was very satisfied with his performance in that event.

This coming weekend, the Wildcats will again split up their squad, with some athletes going to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, and others competing in the Triton Invitational in La Jolla, Calif.

second bomb of the game during the last game of the ASU series. Arizona needs to capitalize on both ends now after changing the pitching rotation once again.

Lopez has pegged Cody Hamlin, Nathan Bannister and Dalbec as his weekend starters now.

Bannister squeezed his way into the rotation and got his first win as a starter to improve to a 6-1 record.

If there was ever a time for Bannister’s arm to get hot, it’s now.

The junior led his team in last year’s Cape Cod Baseball League summer season, and now, Arizona could surely use Bannister’s hot arm more than ever.

Lopez talked about the pitching talent he had this season before the year started. So far, that hasn’t been the case.

The time for the guys to show that talent is now, while there’s still enough time for the Wildcats to redeem themselves.

Delightfully Awkward by Elizabeth Robertson

Q

No Experience Required by Will Zandler

What are the delirium tremens?

A. known as the DTs, is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal.

The delirium tremens (Latin for “shaking frenzy”), also

Individuals who experience the DTs usually have either stopped drinking, following a period of very heavy alcohol use, or suffer from alcohol dependence. Symptoms often show up within 72 hours of the individual’s last drink and may include body tremors, irregular heart rate, seizures, and a host of other mental health-related issues, from agitation and confusion, to anxiety and depression.

Treatment for the DTs is comprehensive in nature and may be necessary to save a life. In the short term, hospitalization and medication are often needed to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. In the long term, counseling and support groups may be recommended to help achieve total abstinence from alcohol.

According to one study, 6% of college students met the criteria for alcohol dependence, though 31% were described as using alcohol to the point of abuse. While those numbers are still too high, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that the majority of students either don’t drink or drink moderately most of the time. Alcohol use is often described as a spectrum – beneficial or casual on one side, moving to problematic and chronic use on the other.

While any amount of alcohol may be risky for some individuals, the renaissance physician Paracelsus said it best: the dose makes the poison. Limiting your alcohol use to no more than 14 drinks per week for men or 7 drinks per week for women is the single best way to take advantage of the social benefits of alcohol while minimizing alcohol’s negative effects.

These include Counseling and Psych Services (CAPS) at the Campus Health Service (621-3334) which offers individual counseling with trained substance abuse professionals, as well as the Friend-2-Friend website, which offers students practical advice on how to reach out to a friend in need.

Between Thursday and Friday, the film world was given several teasingly savory treats. Two megafranchises, one a sci-fi odyssey and the other a superhero showdown of immense proportions, as well as the next film in the library of a modernday auteur, received trailers that had everyone talking, either in real life or online. To cap off the weekend, another superhero reboot revealed new footage.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (Dec. 18,

2015) — The first trailer on Thursday started things off with a bang the size of an exploding Death Star. The premiere full-length trailer for the new “Star Wars” film arrived in the morning, and set the film world abuzz and ablaze.

A slow pan tracks a far-off vehicle that speeds against a backdrop of massive sand dunes. In the foreground is a Rebel X-Wing, halfcapsized in sand. As the camera moves from left to right, one of the

ridges of the sand dunes is revealed to be a colossal, crashed Imperial Star Destroyer. The old guard of the series, both the good and the bad, has given way to time and to something new.

What follows the shot of the downed ships in the sand is the caved-in, charred helmet of Darth Vader, almost unrecognizable compared to its characteristic imposing black sheen. There were plenty of throwbacks to the previous films, which culminated in the final nostalgia-gasm: Chewbacca and, by his side, a gray-haired Harrison Ford as Han Solo.

“Chewie, we’re home.”

Of course, the trailer did not solely rely on throwback value.

First seen in the teaser trailer, stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley) and ace pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), the main heroes in the film, are given more screen time.

That’s not to say that the villains were shirked screentime, either. The masked face of Kylo Ren, the Sith owner of the blood red lightsaber outfitted with the crossguard that sent many Internet denizens into a tizzy when it was first revealed in the teaser trailer, was finally

revealed, as was the new, sleeker design of the Stormtroopers.

After only five days, the trailer has over 40 million views on YouTube.

“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” (March

25, 2016) — As if one hugely awaited trailer wasn’t enough for one Thursday, the last 20 seconds of a trailer, which saw Batman and Superman facing each other down, surfaced online in the form of shaky cellphone video. Then, further into the day, the whole bootlegged trailer was up online for the world to see. Virtually faced with no other choice, Warner Bros. Pictures officially uploaded the trailer the next day.

Multiple cryptic voice-overs speak to the effect of what happens when a God-like being (Superman) descends to Earth and interacts with humanity.

One of the most notable lines came from Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, who says, “We know better now, don’t we?

Devils don’t come from hell beneath us; they come from the sky.”

There was also the first glimpse of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman, whose iteration of the Caped Crusader looks quite a bit buffer than Christian Bale’s.

The climax of the trailer showcased

the moment that the title revolves around: Batman against Superman.

Superman hovers above Batman, who asks the Man of Steel, “Do you bleed?

You will.”

Unfortunately, the earlier release of the trailer undercut the studio’s plans, as it was originally meant to premiere at special IMAX screenings yesterday. To make it up to fans, those who showed up were promised new footage and a poster.

“The Hateful Eight” (Fall

2015) — It’s a testament to the prestige of the other two previews that new information regarding Quentin Tarantino’s latest film was buried. Although not earth-shattering, the high-definition version of the teaser trailer of the auteur’s latest Western was released.

The trailer previously surfaced online last summer in the form of a low quality bootleg.

There is no actual footage of the film in the trailer, but it is nevertheless just as highly stylized, and bloody, as one would expect from Tarantino.

The graphics create a white, windswept blizzard that gives way to blood. “On the edge of the American frontier, sometime after the Civil War, eight strangers were stranded by a

blizzard. They soon discovered they shared a deadly connection.”

“Fantastic Four” (July 30,

2015) — This trailer was released on Sunday after the hubbub of Thursday and Friday died down.

The reboot, starring Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as The Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as The Human Torch and Jamie Bell as The Thing finally gave more insight into the science-fiction-y origins of their superpowers. Not only were the flaming powers of the Human Torch and the rock exterior of The Thing on display, but the first glimpse greenhooded arch-nemesis Dr. Doom was revealed. Another sight that drew attention was that of actor Reg E. Cathey, who plays Dr. Storm in the film, but who viewers will recognize as Freddy from “House of Cards.”

PODCAST CORNER

Internet-centric ‘ReplyAll’ explores weirdos on web

BY PATRICK O’CONNOR The Daily Wildcat

In her book, “Digital Citizenship: The Internet, Society and Participation,” Karen Mossberger defines a digital citizen as someone who “uses the Internet regularly and effectively.” “Reply All” is a podcast about the Internet and the dark, tragic and hilarious corners its citizens populate.

The podcast is hosted by Alex Goldman and PJ Vogt and produced

by Gimlet Media of “StartUp” podcast fame. Their 20-30 minute weekly episodes uncover some of the strangest stories of how the Internet intersects our lives. Since November 2014, Goldman and Vogt have introduced listeners to Internet scammers, the man who invented the pop-up and the most popular dog on Instagram.

In an episode titled “The Writing On The Wall,” Goldman introduces listeners to Melissa Melendez, a student at Colgate University.

Colgate is a small, liberal arts college in Hamilton, N.Y., and when Melendez entered as a freshman, she experienced racist stereotypes and remarks from other students every day. Only 12 percent of Colgate students are African-American or Hispanic compared to UA’s 24.5

percent.

Melendez formed a support network of other minority students at Colgate, which eventually morphed into the Association of Critical Collegians. The ACC hosted sit-ins to protest the racist attitudes on campus, and the administration responded by trying to improve its practices.

Online, the sentiment was drastically different.

C o l g a t e students took to the anonymous social networking app Yik Yak to counter-protest the ACC. For months, Colgate’s Yik Yak was filled with racist, violent posts targeted at the ACC that were up voted by almost 100 students, which is drastic when you take into account that Colgate has less than 3,000 students. Dozens of minority students moved off campus because they felt threatened.

To combat this, a group of professors began to post mundane and cheery Yik Yak posts signed

with their own names. These posts drowned out the racist posts and showed minority students that they had the faculty’s support. While this hasn’t eliminated the problem, all the minority students who left last spring returned in the fall semester.

In another episode titled “This Proves Everything,” Vogt tells listeners the story of Keith Calder, a film producer with an unfortunate last name. Two years ago, Calder began receiving hundreds of tweets asking whether he had a sister.

He discovered that he shared the same last name as Eleanor Calder, One Direction band member Louis Tomlinson’s former girlfriend.

Keith Calder had been discovered by a large group of One Direction fans who believed that not only was Tomlinson gay, but that he was secretly in a relationship with his also publicly heterosexual bandmate, Harry Styles. These fans believe that One Direction’s record label has

forced Tomlinson and Styles to hide their relationship from the public eye in a corporate conspiracy to sell more records.

To mess with them, Keith Calder posted a tweet saying that he could not confirm nor deny any rumors about One Direction, and this firmly cemented him into the conspiracy’s lore. For Keith Calder, this shaped his online image. Every few weeks, he was hit with a wave of hundreds to thousands of tweets when there was new One Direction news or when that news was translated into another language. When Keith Calder meets new business partners, he often has to explain his nonexistent association with One Direction.

Like other Gimlet Media shows, “Reply All” tries to make its advertisements funny and interactive. Goldman recently had a son and had not seen Vogt since he left on paternity leave. Goldman decided to shame Vogt into meeting

his newborn son by using a sponsor’s service to create a website that displayed a timer with the amount of time since his son was born.

While “Reply All” may be about the Internet, it’s not a technology show.

Goldman and Vogt instead highlight the people who use it. A resounding theme of “Reply All” is that the Internet is a tool that connects people and allows them to communicate more easily. In celebration of this, Goldman and Vogt are starting Email Debt Forgiveness Day on April 30 to give everyone a clean conscience to send those awkward emails that you have been putting off sending for months.

You can listen to “Reply All” by streaming or downloading its episodes for free from its website.
