Napster inventor starts new cancer research foundation BY AKSHAY SYAL
The Daily Wildcat
Sean Parker, American technology billionaire who co-founded Napster, has begun a new project called the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, a foundation aimed at eradicating cancer. Parker, who invested $250 million in the foundation, will bring together six of the country’s top cancer centers, allowing them to share access to each other’s intellectual property. Upwards of 300 researchers in 40 different cancer research labs will have access to each other’s findings as a result. Cancer is a disease characterized by the abnormal growth of cells in a given area of the body. Cells in the body grow and divide as the body needs them. At the end of a cell’s life cycle—after it is old or damaged— it dies and a new one takes its place. This bodily process is disrupted when one develops cancer. Extra cells can divide without stopping, potentially forming growths known as tumors. If malignant, these cells can invade surrounding tissue and spread to other regions, causing harm to the body. The incidence of cancer has been staggeringly high in the United States. There will be an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer in 2016, according to cancer.gov, the most common forms being breast and lung cancer. About 40 percent of people will get cancer at some point in their lives. It can be treated through methods such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation

therapy, among others. Chemotherapy works to stop cells from growing at a rapid rate by targeting and killing cells that divide rapidly. The issue, however, is that some chemotherapeutic drugs cannot always distinguish healthy cells from cancerous cells. This can lead to side effects such as hair loss, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and more. With Parker’s latest project, more

research will be done to study a different type of cancer treatment known as immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that uses certain aspects of the body’s own immune system to fight disease, according to the American Cancer Society website. Some ways in which immunotherapy can be applied to fighting cancer are by boosting the body’s immune response or by training the immune system to specifically target cancer cells. Some advantages to immunotherapy are it has the potential reach microscopic areas that a surgeon cannot and that it does not always give preference to rapidly dividing tumor cells, like chemotherapy does. As a result, slowly growing or quiescent cancer cells could be treated more effectively. “This initiative in immunotherapy is driven by compelling advances in approaches to immunotherapy on several fronts” said William Chambers, senior vice president of extramuaral research and training at the American Cancer Society. “Focusing on adoptive cellular immunotherapy, checkpoint blockade and on identifying new targets expressed by tumors for T-cell therapy and vaccines covers the current landscape of opportunities and needs. Hopefully this incredible promise will be realized, ... rapidly.”

Newly chosen interim Dean of the School of Architecture, Mary Hardin, poses for a photo outside the school on Thursday, April 21. Hardin is filling in after former Dean Janice Cervelli accepted a position as president at St. Mary’s College, Indiana.
Hardin appointed interim dean of CAPLA BY Ava Garcia
The Daily Wildcat
The College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture recently named School of Architecture professor Mary Hardin as interim dean of the school. She was the associate dean of academic and faculty affairs for CAPLA prior to her promotion. She has been working in the college since 1997. Hardin’s appointment as interim dean was prompted after the departure of Dean Janice Cervelli, who accepted a position as the president of St. Mary’s College, Indiana, according to a statement from Andrew Comrie, provost and UA senior vice president for academic affairs. “I was really honored to be asked to help cover all of the necessary obligations this year while we search for a new permanent dean,” Hardin said. “And I’m hoping I can keep the college going on a real positive course and prepare it to be the best environment possible for a new dean.” The process of selecting an interim dean starts with the provost meeting different subgroups in the college and faculty to receive input from them. The provost then takes nominations from members of the college and makes his decision.

“Mary had widespread support across the college,” Comrie said. “She’s been an associate dean and people recognize that she has both the breadth and expertise, as well as the kind of leadership qualities, that they thought the college would need.” As a professor, Hardin implemented a kind of teaching called design-build pedagogy, in which students learn about architectural design by constructing real buildings and parts of buildings, according to Robert Miller, director of the UA School of Architecture. Hardin plans to continue teaching while serving as dean. She said the dual tolls may present a challenge, but she knows it is possible with the resources of the college. “I’ll ask some of my colleagues to help me with my teaching or co-teach with me and I’ll ask others to help me with some of the dean’s duties so that I can balance it all,” Hardin said. “I think with the atmosphere and collegiality we have in CAPLA, it will work out fine.” Hardin said she is most looking forward to getting to know the college better during her time as dean. This includes getting to know other administrators, understanding the programs of the college on a different level and interacting with students in other disciplines. She said she doesn’t plan to make any big changes as
dean, but will make sure some of the programs are in “good shape” for the new permanent dean. Hardin said she wouldn’t accept the permanent dean position because of her fondness of teaching. She said she will be “happy to pass the baton on” to a person who wants to dedicate themselves to being the full-time dean. To start the process of finding a permanent dean, the provost will appoint a search committee during the next few weeks and will start advertising for the position. The advertising and the application period will probably start early fall, according to Comrie. The process of hiring a new dean can take months. The new dean may not be appointed until January, if the process goes by quickly, or until the end of the school year that semester, depending on how easily the candidate can get here. Until then, Hardin will carry all of the responsibilities of being dean when her appointment goes into effect June 1. “She’s very collegial, she’s even-handed, she’s wise, she’s fair,” Miller said. “We couldn’t have a better person step in to this either as an interim or a full-time dean. She’ll be great.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

Vertical IDs now valid for alcohol in AZ BY Leah Merrall The Daily Wildcat
The orientation of your ID will no longer determine whether you can buy alcohol in Arizona, depending on when the ID expires. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed House Bill 2031 into law earlier this month, which allows anyone who is 21 with a valid ID to purchase alcohol, no matter the orientation of the identification. Previously in Arizona, a vertical ID would not be accepted by any bartender, server or cashier, even if the purchaser was 21 or older. The Arizona government introduced this statute when it decided to make its IDs for those under 21 vertical rather than horizontal, making them more easily identifiable. A vertical Arizona ID expires 30 days after the holder turns 21. Many other states, however, keep their vertical IDs valid for a few more years, meaning the laws did not align across states. As a result, people 21 and older from out of state, who possessed valid vertical IDs, could not use them in Arizona. The newly signed bill was introduced by Arizona House Rep. Sonny Borrelli, who became aware of the issue when he witnessed a retired Marine get denied being served alcohol at a restaurant because of his ID orientation, even though he was of age and the ID was valid. “The issue was that it was actually bad for business and you’re punishing somebody for having the wrong shaped ID card,” Borelli said. “It made no sense.” The law “modifies the list of acceptable identification required for the sale of alcohol by removing the requirement for out-of-state driver and nonoperating licenses to be reissued after a person turns 21 years of age,” according to the Arizona State Legislature website. Borrelli said one of the main reasons for
implementing this law was the consideration of the Arizona economy. Arizona, a popular tourist destination, can draw in young crowds from out of state. Borrelli said businesses suffered under the old law as a result. “This affected business: restaurants, bars, even retail stores,” Borrelli said. “That’s number one – literally discriminating against somebody because of the shape of their driver’s license or ID card.” The bill included an emergency clause, meaning it would become effective as soon as the governor signed it, Borrelli said. Up until the bill became a law, bartenders, servers and cashiers could be charged $1,000 for selling alcohol to someone with a vertical ID, even if that person was 21 or older and the ID was still valid. Borrelli said he hopes the law will not only help business, but protect those trying to make a living with those businesses. The new law is convenient for those from out of state living in Arizona. Emily Silverman, a Judaic studies junior, turned 21 in January. She had to bring her passport with her so she could be served alcohol on her first night out at the bars. She flew home to Colorado the next day to get a horizontal ID that would be valid in Arizona. “I think it’ll be good for future generations,” Silverman said. “I think it would’ve saved me a lot of money and time, but I like having the physical horizontal ID better.” While everyone who turns 21 will have to switch to a horizontal ID at some point—some earlier than later—now everyone of legal age to purchase alcohol in Arizona will be able to do so without fear of their IDs being the wrong orientation.

This weed is for insomnia University of Arizona Police Department officers found two male UA students in possession of marijuana in a wash by the intersection of East Eight Street and Martin Avenue on April 10 around 12:27 a.m. The officers were conducting a special check of the area when they noticed the smell of marijuana and heard rustling coming from inside the wash. Officers saw a man in the area and spoke with him. The man emptied his pockets and said he was alone and exploring. He had red eyes, slurred speech and smelled of intoxicants. Another man walked out of the wash with a backpack and said he was exploring too and had insomnia. The officers detected an odor of marijuana coming from the backpack. The man had bloodshot eyes. When asked what was in the backpack, the man said a bag, which he later said contained a pipe that was for marijuana. The officers searched the bag and found a bong holder and bowls with burnt residue. The man said he didn’t have a medical marijuana card. After a preliminary breath test indicated the presence of alcohol in the first man, he admitted he had drank four to five beers earlier. The second man was diverted to the Dean of Students Office, while the first man, who was already in the university diversion program, was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol in the body.

The man went over the main entry gate and was with a UA facilities worker. Officers saw the man on the middle of the gate on the plant side, climbing down. The facilities worker inside the plant saw the man climb over the gate from the video security system and went out to meet him. The man climbed over the gate but had not gone anywhere else. The man’s breath smelled of alcohol and he admitted he had been drinking at a friend’s off-campus house. He said he was going home and had climbed the gate because he thought it would be a quicker way home. He said he had no intention of disrespecting campus and that it was a stupid thing to do. The man did not have any injuries and was referred to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct.

Community CHATTER.
What would you do with an extra $366?
BY Chastity Laskey The Daily Wildcat
Earlier this month the Arizona Board of Regents unanimously approved President Ann Weaver Hart’s tuition proposal. While 72 percent of students won’t see an increase because of the tuition guarantee program, all new incoming students will. The board said they are always trying to keep the cost of education affordable. Incoming new resident undergraduate students will see a 3.2 percent, or $366, increase in tuition and mandatory fees.
“With $366 I would buy a bike because it’s practical and I’m tired of just walking everywhere.” – Fernando Corona, sophomore studying information science and technology.

to talk to her about how they could get more volunteer hours as undergraduate students. “Before we knew it, she was talking about starting a mobile clinic with us,” Good said. “She delegated all the tasks to us. We have a good relationship with her, but it’s a little hands-off.” Good added that the partnership has given them the ability to develop infrastructure, develop the organization and build connections with other people and organizations in the community.
“With $366 I would go on a trip with my family to anywhere close to here or I could give it to my mom, who has always given me money.” – Julia Terrazas, public health sophomore.
“With $366 I would buy 366 pairs of socks from the Dollar Store.” – Sarah Bosch, junior studying neuroscience and cognitive science.
“I would pay my rent.” – Sheldon Shaffer, mechanical engineering junior.
“I would save it for a vacation to Greece.” – Maddie Ryan, pre-business sophomore.
As a pre-med student in a greek organization, Good said there are many business experience opportunities for undergraduate students, but not much in the way of opportunities for pre-med students to get volunteer experience. Mobile MediCats wants to provide those opportunities. Good said the Medicats recently won the Outstanding Collaborative Program award at the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s awards ceremony. “We have now developed [volunteer opportunities] in some of our community ride alongs, which we have fundraised for basic hygiene and health care packages to
give to the homeless in the parks at Stone and Speedway,” Good said. “Those are great because you get direct hands-on experience with the homeless people that we’re trying to help with our free clinic that we are trying to develop.” Mobile MediCats has worked with the Mobile Health Program at the UA, an already-existing mobile clinic run by the hospital, and are now fundraising to start their own clinic. Good said one of their goals is to partner with the UA’s Medical School to offer medical students with elective class credit for volunteering with the Medicats. “We are currently in contact with multiple clinics in Tucson to hopefully partner up
and be able to lead our own shift of clinic hours with licensed positions to serve the underprivileged population in Tucson,” Shah said. The Mobile MediCats executive board meets every Wednesday at 7 p.m. and has general monthly meetings as well. If students would like to get involved or donate to the organization, they can email the organization at mobilemedicats@gmail. com, visit the website at dequenesh.org/ mobile-medicats.html or check out the Facebook page. — Follow Gabriella Vukelic @gabalicious_24

Students need more critical thinking in classrooms BY MICHAEL CORTEZ The Daily Wildcat
W
hen students make the choice to attend college, they choose to further advance their knowledge and cultivate critical thinking skills. Many students, however, do not see such improvement until senior year or, at worst, ever. What exactly is critical thinking? The Critical Thinking Community defines it as a “mode of thinking—about any subject, content or problem—in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing and reconstructing it. ... It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities, as well as a commitment to overcome our native egocentrism and sociocentrism.” “[Forty five] percent of students made no significant improvement in their critical thinking, reasoning or writing skills during the first two years of college. After four years, 36 percent showed no significant gains in these so-called higher-order thinking skills,” according to a study using data from the Collegiate Learning Assessment. The study also goes on to say students devoted less than one-fifth of their time—including
hours spent studying and in class—each week to “academic pursuits.” Students also spent 51 percent of their time—or around 85 hours each week—socializing or being involved in extracurricular activities, according to the study. As a student studying linguistics and anthropology, my fields have cultivated my critical thinking and creativity in a variety of different ways. Linguistics taught me to find patterns within human language and to articulate these findings through writing. Anthropology taught me how to understand diverse cultures and societies through a variety of lenses and to cogently illustrate my knowledge verbally and through writing. Both of these fields are research-intensive and require analytical writing and reading skills in conjunction with reasoning skills. This is also the case with many of the fields in liberal arts, the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences and mathematics. Although many general education courses at the UA may not have an instantaneous impact on our long-standing knowledge, after a while, we may realize they did teach us something. These courses, which lowerclassmen often assume are useless and a waste of time, offer an alternate perspective through which to understand the world. They aid in developing and refining critical thinking skills by illuminating the path to applying knowledge and capacity to form valuable connections to a variety of disciplines. These erudite experiences are occasionally hindered in the classroom. Many classes are too
large to promote critical thinking, leaving many first and second-year students short of their full potentials. In some instances, a professor or instructor will pose a question to students only to hastily move on without giving students the time necessary to form an opinion and provide a well-reasoned response. I recall a time when I was in a course and a student raised her hand to ask the professor if it was OK to disagree with him in her essay. The professor was shocked she asked such a question, he ultimately allowing her to disagree with him as long as she supported her position. Critical thinking and creativity should be encouraged in the classroom. If an instructor or professor degrades such development, what is the point of being in that restrictive environment at all? For critical thinking and creativity to occur in classrooms, students must inspire and push students to reach their potentials through circumnavigating the pervasive group-think mentality. Professors must allow classes the chance to form original, analytical insights on various topics. Students must also work to inadvertently devalue their skills and potentials in favor of those who have already attained expertise in the topic at hand. — Follow Michael Cortez @MicAngeloCortez

Universities should follow UA’s model for accomodating students changing careers BY Marissa Heffernan The Daily Wildcat
Y
oung. Reckless. Unsure of the future. These are the kinds of descriptors that come to mind when somebody uses the phrase “college student.” Perhaps this description matches the typical student, but it certainly isn’t the profile of every student. People are changing careers now more than ever. New York Times columnist Marci Alboher wrote that the reason for these changes is people no longer believe in corporate job security. “We are living and working longer, too, giving us a larger canvas to paint our work/ life dreams,” Alboher wrote. “We also realize that life is short, so we want to feel good about the work we’re doing.” Changing careers can require professionals to go back to college. That can mean taking a few classes or even pursing a second degree. It may also mean

Joe Previte, a senior majoring in global and intercultural understanding, and his friend Jordan Mishlove, a student at San Diego State University, plan to ride 7,700 miles across the country this summer. Previte and Mishlove will bike the entire trip to raise money and awareness for the Outdoor Outreach charity. Previte and Mishlove have been friends since third grade and decided to take it to the next level by biking across the country for a cause after their graduations. They partnered with Outdoor Outreach, an organization that “use[s] the outdoors to inspire youth to see possibility and opportunity in their lives,” according to the charity’s website. Previte also said they are partnering with Ben’s Bells, a local nonprofit focused on spreading kindness. Two of the biggest barriers between urban youth and the outdoors are transportation and financial requirements, according to Previte. When children have two working parents, it’s hard to find time to do activities such as hiking or camping. Activities like
rock-climbing require special equipment that can cost a lot of money. “Hiking is free, but if you’re in a big city and want to get to a national park, it’s a long way out,” Previte said. The bike ride plans to address this by raising awareness about the issue and fundraising for Outdoor Outreach along the way. The two have already raised more than $500 so far. The cross-country journey will begin in Maine. The cyclists will ride across the northern U.S. before veering down the west coast, over to Colorado and finally finishing in Phoenix . “We wanted to end in Phoenix because that’s where we’re both from,” Previte said. “This is a big chapter in our lives, this bike trip, so we wanted to end where we started it.” Both of them will depart June 6 and estimate the trip will take four months. They plan on raising awareness by speaking at nonprofit organizations and summer camps along their route. Previte said he thinks it’s important to teach urban youth about the environment, especially
with fun activities, such as those about environmental consciousness and reducing one’s carbon footprint. Previte and Mishlove will certainly be living environmentally consciously on their trip. The duo plan to ride between 45 and 75 miles day and camp at night. The two will use a solar panel to charge their electronic devices and reduce water by showering and doing laundry less often. The inspiration for this trip came from another cyclist, Jedidiah Jenkins, who took a 16-month bike ride from Oregon to Chile. Previte followed Jenkins’ travels on Instagram and wanted to do something similar after graduation. “I have a passion for traveling and I feel one of the best ways you can see the world is by bike,” Previte said.

Pancake Power: Ranking Tucson’s IHOPs BY MONICA KOTHE
1. 1500 W. Grant Road
The Daily Wildcat
Winner, winner, pancake dinner! It’s no surprise that the IHOP closest to all the hotels is the best IHOP in Tucson. No matter how busy this one gets, it seems the hosts will cut that estimated wait time in half . Because it’s always bustling, your food is bound to be brought out before you can say “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” But don’t think that other factors suffer just because it is speedy. The servers are still attentive to your needs and charming. The food was delicious, with hash browns that were almost unmistakably a golden, sunset color. The classic pancakes are so light and tasty you may believe you are paying to eat flavored air. “The people were really nice, the service was fast and it was very clean,” said Camila Suarez, a freshman studying neuroscience and French. Clearly, this IHOP wants to be considered more than just your average restaurant. With multiple praises on everything this IHOP has to offer, it is no wonder why it is ranked number one on the list.
These thoughts have no doubt plagued everyone’s mind at one point: Which IHOP should I take my significant other to? Where should I go for that midnight snack of a dozen pancakes? How will I know which restaurant I should take my visiting grandparents to? Worry not, because the Daily Wildcat took on the burden of traveling to four of the closest IHOPs to campus in order to settle the heated debate once and for all:
Overall impression: A+
Which International House of Pancakes is the best of the best in the city of Tucson.
2. 4187 N. Oracle Road
Here is where the scoring gets tough. Ultimately there were a few things that held back the IHOP on North Oracle Road from first place, but man, did it put up a good fight. “IHOP definitely came in clutch,” said Aaron Burnett, a physiology freshman, about this IHOP. The hash browns were the color of your favorite golden ring that you just realized was a plastic knockoff. The pancakes melted in your mouth, which is exactly the feeling you should imagine when thinking of IHOP. “It was only $12 for my meal, but I got pancakes, eggs, hash browns, bacon, toast and lots of water,” Burnett said. This establishment captures the IHOP spirit of decent breakfasts at decent prices. The best part about this IHOP is its character. We couldn’t help but feel the full blast of the air conditioning freezing us into an ice age when we sat down. We complained and the server told us the people who previously sat there were rude, thus the best passive aggressive action to take was not to spit in their food, but to blast the air conditioning in that one little booth. This can either be taken as a pro or con, depending on what kind of patron you are. The only downside was the fact that before entering the restaurant there was a suspicious roach scurrying across the sidewalk directly outside of the door. You may want to look into this restaurant’s health inspection history to make sure it possesses a clean atmosphere. Overall impression: A-
3. 5101 E. Grant Road
This IHOP was okay. There was nothing that made it stand out, but nothing that made it a disappointment either. The food was average and not memorable. The hash browns were not quite on par and were ever-so-slighty undercooked. The eggs were simple, something even a college student with no cooking experience could make. The server was a little sassy, attempting playful banter with his customers. Failing to commit to his act, however, this server came across as awkward. He did make great food recommendations for customers who were not sure what they wanted, which was a redeeming quality on his part. “They were fine,” said Courtney Olds, a computer science junior, about the restaurant. “It was the day after Halloween and we went in dressed up as cats. They didn’t treat us like we were crazy, which was nice.” One warning is if you are using hot sauce on any part of your meal, double check to make sure there is a stopper. One customer present did not recognize its absence and made the mistake of flooding their eggs and potatoes with hot pepper juices. The customer may have also lost a whatare-the-odds bet to eat those drenched potatoes. And yes, he may have shed a tear. Overall impression: C
4. 7945 E. Broadway Blvd.
Good thing the worst IHOP in Tucson is the one farthest away from campus. First off, the hash browns were the color of the goldand-white dress that was quite the controversy back in 2015, and burnt like a double-toasted bagel from Bagel Talk. Be wary when ordering items on the side, as the conditions in which they arrive may be enough to send them back. For example, when asked for chocolate chips, they brought out a tiny bowl full of chips that had already begun to melt, making the strategic placement of such chips on those plain, buttermilk pancakes a savage spread of chocolate goo. Perhaps the greatest failure of this IHOP was its extreme stinginess in refilling water. Even as customers made obvious attempts to drink air and play with the two ice cubes left at the bottoms of their glasses, no servers saved them from their ailing throats. Overall impression: D

Nitro Circus flies into Tucson
BY Monica kothe The Daily Wildcat
Get ready for an exciting Saturday night as Nitro Circus Live, a crazy collection of action sports, comes to the Tucson Rodeo Grounds for the beginning of its North American tour. Nitro Circus began with a couple of extreme athletes, most notably Travis Pastrana, making YouTube videos and DVDs about the dangerous stunts they were performing in Pastrana’s house. From there, action sports exploded onto the scene, eventually leading to the creation of Nitro Circus as a live performance. The circus tours across the world for fans who were more than excited to witness the complete insanity of these athletes live. One of Nitro Circus’ motocross performers, Javier Villegas, said there is no one part of the experience at Nitro Circus that is more outstanding than another. “Everything is pretty ridiculous,” Villegas said. This action-packed tour offers everything from athletes doing backflips with 200-pound dirt bikes to skateboarders and bikers performing tricks more than 30 feet in the air. It even includes a brave man doing more twists than you can count on a scooter. “Everything we do is equally insane,” Villegas said. Villegas highlighted the fact that he is one of those athletes who can let go of his bike midair, do a flip and still somehow manage to land back on the bike as it hits the ground. So, what makes these athletes do such reckless things? “It’s really hard to explain,” Villegas said. “The simple answer would be: I don’t see myself doing anything else in the world.” Don’t fret if your explanation for getting your degree falls in the same line of reasoning, because you can become someone like Villegas, who is living out his dream of doing something he loves, despite the danger involved.
“You get the chance to do something that no one else will do,” Villegas said. Despite the fact that action sports are dangerous, Villegas said he has been injuryfree for over a year. “It depends on how much you push your luck and how much you take care of yourself,” Villegas said. He added that taking care of his health is one of his top priorities. Although these athletes are always pushing themselves to improve their old tricks, they do know their boundaries—so you most likely won’t see anyone injured Saturday night. They are professional death-defiers, after all. Much like it was a decade ago, when Nitro Circus became a live performance, action sports and motocross are only increasing in popularity from both an athletic and an audience perspective. “It’s becoming more accessible for people to try,” Villegas said. Even if people are not necessarily jumping their dirt bikes at a ridiculous height, an increasing number of riders are able to master some of the more basic tricks and smaller jumps. “It’s become more of a science now,” Villegas said. “We know what we have to do to get these tricks.” Villegas said after years of perfecting his craft, the tricks are not only easier to perform, but safer as well. The best part of Nitro Circus is the crowd itself, according to Villegas. “Seeing all the people going crazy and cheering your name and asking for more even though we’re already done; That has to be my favorite part,” Villegas said. “You go home thinking, ‘What can we show them next?’” Interested in going?

How to get out of going to the fair BY Alec kuehnle The Daily Wildcat
Super Cool News is a Daily Wildcat feature that shares the, yes, coolest news happening around town and around the country. Try not to take what its writers have to say too literally. Well, everyone, it’s that time of year again: The Pima County Fair has arrived and only about a week after Spring Fling, because it obviously makes sense to have the two biggest annual carnivals in the Tucson area occur within days of each other. With the fair here, we all know what that means: Your darling significant other will soon start begging you to take them. And why wouldn’t you want to, honestly? Well, maybe it’s because of what’s available at the fair. There’s the option to eat disgusting food, wait in ridiculously long lines for rides that last a matter of minutes and embarrass yourself in front of your partner when you fail to win that huge, stuffed dog. Most importantly, there’s the chance to spend too much money. To you—the reasonable one in the relationship—this all makes sense. You can see the fair for what it really is. Unfortunately, your other half will prove not nearly as easy to convince. Better find a way out ASAP. You can always pretend to feel sick. Take a trip to Taco Bell the night before or simply lie. Remember, use apologies as your best friend. Say things like: “I’m sorry, babe. I just don’t think I’m going to be able to make it. I feel terrible though. I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Memorize this phrase. It may become your only hope. Some folks are not so fortunate, like one student who recently admitted to making plans that involved taking his girlfriend to the fair this weekend. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” he said. “It seemed so far away at the time. Now we’re only a couple days out. I need an excuse badly.” That poor, poor soul. This student wished to remain anonymous, just in case his girlfriend reads the Daily Wildcat. You probably took your significant other to Spring Fling the other weekend, but please forgive yourself for that. We all have our weak moments. Luckily, using this as an excuse at the right time with the right amount of guilt thrown in may prove just enough to avoid going to a fair all over again. The too-much-homework excuse may prove another solid option for some. The fair becomes the only time during the entire semester where you rejoice over having a test that week. Just tell your special someone you really have to study this weekend. Hopefully he or she will take the hint. This may prove hard to hear, but some may actually have no choice but to go to the fair. If your relationship is on the line, you should probably just go to the fair (although that is not an easy call to make). If it looks as though you really can’t escape the peril, just bear down and try your best to get through it. But for God’s sake, at least go on wristband night.

What and other emojis really mean BY BAILEY BELLAVANCE The Daily Wildcat
Have you ever sent a text to your boss and accidently used a winky face instead of a smiley face? That moment of sheer panic after you pressed send probably had something to do with how your boss perceives you. Now there’s science to back that feeling up. Emojis have invaded all forms of communication from texting to Facebook Messenger. When you send a smiley face, you’re saying more than you may realize. Sure, you may send an emoji after the dreaded “K” message to let your recipient know you’re not being passive aggressive, but you’re also telling them about your personality. Students were asked to describe their personalities and record their emoji usages in a 10-minute conversation over Facebook Messenger, in a study by Helen Wall and Linda Kaye of Edge Hill University, and Stephanie Malone of Australian Catholic University. The study found there was a correlation between people who generally found themselves pleasant and likeable to higher emoji use on social media. It also found people who were not concerned about how other people perceived them were more likely to use sad emojis. Researchers found a strong connection between the real world and online communication. People who are agreeable tend to use social cues to help communicate with other people, such as smiling
more often and using encouraging words. This mirrors the behavior of online communication of agreeable people, who may use emojis instead of these cues. Researchers are led to believe virtual environments, such as Facebook, stimulate these agreeable people who may use social media sites to convey the more likeable part of their personalities with emojis. Likewise, people who were less concerned about how people think of them said they felt more comfortable displaying all of their emotions, especially sadness. Sending sad faces may be indicative of a lack of concern with other people’s opinions. Other findings from the study show emojis were used more frequently on some social media than others. Emails are more correlated with professional communication than other forms, such as text, so emoticon use in emails is seen less often than in texts. The study found that when a stranger read a conversation between two people, more emojis indicated that someone thought the participant was agreeable, conscientious and open to new experiences. So next time you want to send your crush six winky faces and a cry-laughing emoji, think first about what kind of impression you want to make. — Follow Bailey Bellavance @WCbellavance

Proper language is crucial to the scientific community. It helps answer questions and convey big ideas to the general public. Often, though, specialized scientific words have very specific meanings and many times get misused. When scientific words get diluted through frequent misuse in everyday language, it can bog down the original science and potentially change the research’s meaning. A study performed by Scott Lilienfeld in the department of psychology at Emory University looked at 50 common psychology terms that could be avoided. These terms are often misleading, frequently misused, ambiguous, oxymoronic or are pleonasms— phrases that use more words than necessary to explain something. Lilienfeld explained why the words were problematic and suggested new words to use in place of those frequently misued. Some commonly misused terms Lilienfeld
identified were “brainwashing,” “steep learning curve” and “fetish.” The problem with the term “brainwashing” is that the idea of it—altering someone’s attitude—doesn’t use techniques any different than standard persuasive methods used today. There is a lack of evidence behind alleged brainwashing that says the technique may not even permanently change someone’s attitude. The phrase “steep learning curve” could be considered an inaccurate or misleading term as well. It is commonly used to imply a task is difficult to learn, by both psychologists and the general public. Yet the phrase, “steep learning curve,” or a curve with a large positive slope, can suggest a task is rather easy to learn. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines a fetish as “a psychiatric condition marked by persistent, intense and psychologically impairing sexual arousal derived from inanimate objects or non-genital body parts.” “Fetish,” however, should not be used to describe generic

preferences for specific objects, ideas or people, wrote Lilienfeld. The media can be part of the problem when it comes to misusing scientific terms. News sites will often describe someone who is violent and a criminal as a “psychopath.” But in actuality, a psychopath is someone who shows relatively little remorse and may act aggressively. Misusing scientific words frequently can do a disservice to everyone, not just scientists. The misuse of these words could allow people with power to manipulate others who may not necessarily understand the language. So next time you want to use a scientific term, make sure you know the meaning or find a new word. For a full list of the 50 most misused words, check out dailywildcat.com.

Women underrepresented in computer science major BY lizzie hannah The Daily Wildcat
The field of computer science is rapidly changing the job market. From Google’s apps and electronics to unmanned aerial vehicles operated by the United States Department of Defense, computer programming has become an integral part of the modern era. As society becomes increasingly digitalized, those with degrees in computer science will become more valuable assets. Statistics show that current college students recognize the value of computer science degrees and the value they bring to the job market. Post-secondary institutions awarded 2,388 degrees in computer and information sciences to students in the U.S. in 1971. This number exceeded 55,000 by 2014. Blatant displays of gender disparity have accompanied this rise in computer science education during the last 40 years. Of the computer science degrees awarded in 2014, less than 20 percent went to women. The number of women per year who earn computer science, math or engineering degrees has declined in the last 10 years. In a country that claims to be a bastion of equal opportunity, the clear gender gap that exists in the field of computer science—and how to fix it—should be a source of national debate. “As a female computer science student, while I have never personally experienced sexism or anything of the sort, it is a very male-dominated environment,” said Prajakta Sirasao, a computer science sophomore. “That is ... easy to see.” Why are female computer scientists few and far between? Why do we immediately think of a man staring intently at his computer screen when we think of

computer programming? The statistics relating to gender and computer science are of great concern and do not make sense in the context of higher education as a whole. The number of women enrolled in undergraduate degree programs has exceeded that of men since 1982. Beginning in the 1990s, women began earning more than 50 percent of all bachelor’s degrees. In the life sciences, specifically including biology, chemistry and agricultural sciences, women typically earn at least half of all degrees. The experiences of female undergraduate students reflect these numbers. “Oftentimes, I have been one of maybe two or three girls in a coding class or lab,” Sirasao said.
Many people do not know a woman wrote the world’s first computer program. Mathematician Ada Lovelace helped Charles Babbage design a programmable computer in 1842. Although the machine was never built, Lovelace wrote an algorithm that the computer would have been capable of carrying out. Today, experts widely credit Lovelace with being the first-ever computer programmer. “Gender disparity definitely does exist in the field,” Sirasao said. “The way to fix it would be to start getting girls interested in STEM topics from an early age, when they are more impressionable and influenced by outside factors other than school.” — Follow Lizzie Hannah @ehannah10

Bearizona offers unique experience BY patrick o’connor The Daily Wildcat
As Tucson blazes headlong into the sweaty mess we call summer, both animal and human residents are taking shelter from the extreme sun. For those looking to escape the heat and travel up north, the Bearizona Wildlife Park has an abundance of animals and welcomes visitors to intimately meet them perched in the cool mountains of Northern Arizona. Bearizona is mostly a drive-thru experience. While this may be off-putting for some, Bearizona’s animal inhabitants are desensitized to the traffic and get incredibly close to your vehicle. This leads to some intense moments, like mountain goats trying to open the passenger door or American bison napping in front of your car. Animals are separated by cattle guards into sprawling exhibits, and the journey through is self-paced. The drive-thru nature of the park can have its downsides. It is nearly impossible to pass a car on the road, so it is easy to get stuck behind a large vehicle that blocks the view or drives at a frustratingly slow clip. Visitors can drive through the trail as many

times as they like, but it may be difficult to stay in most of the exhibits for long because of the constant traffic behind. After winding turns featuring roaming black bears and snoozing arctic wolves, visitors can find themselves outside the wooden walls of Fort Bearizona. The fort is the first time visitors are able
to exit the car during the Bearizona trip. The fort features restaurants, gift shops and other animal attractions, serving as a starting point for the Wild Ride Bus Tour. The tour goes on the same drive-thru route but is led by Bearizona staff who explain the history of the park and some details about the different animals. The bus

Fort Bearizona is also home to a bird of prey show and keeper talks where visitors can learn more about the animals and the conservation efforts of the park. The most popular attraction at Fort Bearizona is the bear cub exhibit. If the cubs aren’t out playing or lounging in the exhibit, they might be perched up high in the trees. The cubs are accomplished painters. Their paw-drawn work is available for purchase in the gift shop. “It’s really fun to see wildlife—like bears—this close,” said Phoenix resident Simon Cobb.

Dawkins, Solomon set for fall QB battle BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
A
t this point in the year last spring, Arizona football was riding high and mighty coming off a Pac-12 Conference South division championship and a Fiesta Bowl appearance. Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon also had a secure job and was viewed as a returning leader. This year, the quarterback role is a smidge different, all thanks to the late impressions from redshirt sophomore Brandon Dawkins. Head coach Rich Rodriguez now has a true issue on his hands. Who should he choose as his starting quarterback? It’s equivalent to asking a parent whom their favorite child is. After Dawkins threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns and ran 78 yards for a touchdown against ASU with a stomach illness, it would be ignorant for the coaches not to give Dawkins a chance at taking over the keys of the Arizona offense. It’s the potential of Dawkins in one corner against Solomon’s experience in the other.
The quarterback competition may be more intense than years past. “It’s truly open,” Rodriguez said. “It’s not because Anu slipped. It’s because Brandon Dawkins has gotten better and Anu knows that, and so does Brandon.” To Solomon’s advantage, the experience isn’t just the lone factor for the competition. His relationship with Rodriguez is a factor as well. Monday was the last day for player meetings, according to Rodriguez, and his conversation with Solomon touched on always having the ability to “prove yourself.” Rodriguez said he’s always been attracted to Solomon’s competitive edge, even though it doesn’t show at times. “I’ve always been able to have really good frank conversations with him and I appeal to his competitiveness,” Rodriguez said. “Sometimes he doesn’t show that. He’s more of a competitor than sometimes he shows.” Solomon is coming off a forgettable sophomore campaign in which he threw for 2,667 yards with 20 total touchdowns. On the flip side of the coin, he also dealt with two concerning concussion injuries that kept him from playing at both Stanford and ASU. With an entire injury-free offseason, the freshman ghost of Solomon may return to Arizona Stadium.

“You’re going to see a revived Anu that’s ready to compete and start this fall,” Rodriguez said. It’s not necessarily Solomon’s job to lose, however. If that is the case, then the coaches would have a tendency to either give him more reps with the first team offense or reveal preferential treatment. Rodriguez made it clear he doesn’t use that method. This could be good for Solomon. If he received that returning starting quarterback treatment, it could have applied extra pressure on him and he could have slowly lost his mojo. “I think when you have somebody’s job to lose, it’s almost like he has to screw up and that’s not the case,” Rodriguez said. “It’s an open competition everywhere and I’ve always been like that.” Solomon and Dawkins are on the same plateau, but the starting quarterback saga will continue as long as both of them are wearing an Arizona uniform. “I think [Solomon] is going to have a great summer and we’re going to have a great competition between him and ... Dawkins,” Rodriguez said. “That may be ongoing throughout the season.” Is it September yet? — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

Wildcats prepared for fierce UCLA series BY Chris Deak
The Daily Wildcat
A
fter a weekend sweep of the Stanford Cardinal, the Wildcats have their sights set on Pac-12 Conference rival UCLA. The two are widely considered to be the two most historic softball programs in the nation. The rivalry is also regarded as one of the fiercest matchups in the sport. UCLA holds the all-time advantage of 74-55 over Arizona. The Bruins took 11 of the last 13 games. The Wildcats will head to their biggest six-game stretch of the season on the heels of their eight-game winning streak. After their three game home set against the Bruins, the Wildcats will travel to Eugene and take on Oregon. The No. 5 Ducks are the highest-ranked team in the Pac-12 and lead the conference by one and a half games. Taking a series from the Bruins before making their way to Eugene, Oregon, is vital for the Wildcats. It starts this weekend against the Bruins
and will certainly limit their walks. After another solid week from the lineup, it seems like they may have found their stride. If the Wildcats’ bats can take advantage of the weak UCLA pitching staff, they can get hot at the right time. A series win and confidence boost in the UCLA series would bode well when the team hits the road next weekend. After Oregon the team wraps up the season with two more series at home against Oregon State and California. Both OSU and California are unranked and competitive teams that could easily move in to the rankings if the Wildcats slipped up. Katiyana Mauga and Mo Mercado continue to lead the way for the team and each has more home runs than strikeouts. Mauga has 15 home runs to 14 strikeouts, while Mercado has seven bombs compared to four strikeouts. Freshman Joelle Krist was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week and has established herself as the everyday first baseman. Candrea is pleased with where his freshman is at. “I think [Krist] has really come in to her own in conference, she’s playing good defense, and she’s running in to some pitches,” Candrea said. “Her hits have been
and Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said he believes his team is ready for the challenge. “It should be a great [series] for us that we kind of feel like, back in the day U of A and UCLA were softball, so it’s a good rivalry,” Candrea said. “I respect what they’ve done, I hope that they respect what we’ve done. It’s a good match up.” A series victory over UCLA would mean a move in to the top 16 in the national polls for Arizona, as well as a move into second place in the conference heading to Oregon. The matchup between the UCLA pitching staff and the Arizona lineup is the key match up in the series this weekend. UCLA is next to last in the Pac-12 in ERA, strikeouts and opposing batting average. Arizona is seventh in the conference with a team average of .307. If the Arizona bats can take advantage of the Bruins’ sub-par rotation, their dominant pitching should be able to keep runs off the board. The Bruins lead the conference in walks and on-base percentage. They have a productive offense that generates runs from drawing walks, stealing bases and playing the speed game. Danielle O’Toole and Taylor McQuillin should give the Bruins’ lineups problems

Boyd finding success in transfer after overcoming head injury BY Ivan Leonard
The Daily Wildcat
With baseball season past the halfway point, the Wildcats will look to gain momentum for a possible postseason bid in Omaha, Nebraska. One player they will need to rely on is shortstop transfer Louis Boyd. The transfer student from North Vancouver, British Columbia, has helped the Wildcats baseball team accumulate a 23-14 record in his first year in Division I and is batting .234 with 18 hits and three triples so far this season. The shortstop grew up idolizing New York Yankees player Derek Jeter for his even-keel demeanor and his reliability in any situation. Like Jeter, Boyd wants to be relied on for his confidence and ability to come through for his teammates. “I like to bring a lot of energy to the team and make sure that in … tough circumstances there’s someone standing there saying, ‘We can do this,’” Boyd said. After graduating from Sutherland Secondary in Vancouver, British Columbia, Boyd missed the 2013 season after a groundball to the head gave him a concussion and nearly stopped him from playing altogether. “I was told I wouldn’t play again during that redshirt year, so I did not think about baseball at all,” Boyd said. “I got a lucky appointment and I was able to get cleared and trained with my high-school coach.” Boyd attended Cochise College in Douglas, Arizona in 2014, and would take the league by storm. There, he lead the team in batting average with .343 while also compiling 38 RBI’s and 52 runs. When he is not battling with Pac-12 Conference opponents or honing his craft at Hi Corbett Field, Boyd maintains a 4.0 GPA, despite the crammed schedule he has. He says school is the easiest transition

from junior college to Division I, and he’s handling that well, too. “School does come pretty easy to me, but definitely the busier schedule here takes a toll on the homework and staying on top of academics,” Boyd said. Boyd notes the lack of time a D-1 athlete has is the hardest transition, but he is handling the condensed schedule so far. “I had a lot more free time at junior college, [but] it’s important to understand
you have an awesome opportunity to get a degree at a great school,” Boyd said. While he has been handling the transition well, his teammates have helped make the process easier for him to come in and perform. “A lot of the seniors, guys like Nathan Bannister, just seeing what he does and how he handles his business, [he] is a great guy to look up to,” Boyd said. Boyd lives by the motto “Good players
VOTE
work until they get it right, great players work until they cannot get it wrong,” and attributes his talent to superior work ethic. “I may not be the most talented guy in the world, but as long as I’m working as hard as I can, I can perfect any skill,” Boyd said. — Follow Ivan Leonard @ivan14bro
