Representatives from the Arizona State Senate and Arizona House of Representatives have issued letters of support to the Arizona Board of Regents for UA President Ann Weaver Hart’s position on the board of the for-profit DeVry Education Group. The first letter, written on April 4, came from Rep. Jonathan R. Larkin, a member of the House Government and Higher Education Committee and a DeVry alumnus. Larkin wrote that Hart will be a great asset to DeVry. She will bring experience and “much needed balance to the higher education community,” according to Larkin. He wrote that her work with DeVry would also help the state by supporting institutions based in Arizona that serve over 4,500 residents. Larkin also wrote that Hart could learn educational practices with DeVry that she could incorporate in her work at the UA. “There are no shortage of innovations that could be used to even better serve the University of Arizona students,” Larkin wrote.

Engineering undergrads get ready to rumble BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
After a full academic year of researching, designing, building and testing sponsored projects, teams of UA engineering students will present their work at the 14th annual Engineering Design Day next Tuesday. The Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Program divided 500 engineering seniors into teams to work on design projects sponsored by faculty, UA clubs and companies like Raytheon, Honeywell Aerospace and Texas Instruments. Ara Arabyan, aerospace and mechanical engineering associate professor, is the director of the Engineering Clinic at the UA and has organized Engineering Design Day since 2009. “This is the biggest event of the year,” Arabyan said. He said the event is a universityindustry partnership—it not only provides undergraduate engineers with a real-life design experience, but also gives companies a fresh perspective from a team of graduating engineers. The engineering seniors will display their work throughout the Grand Ballroom in the Student Union Memorial Center and along the UA Mall for the public to see and for judges to evaluate. Arabyan said there are 130 judges from the industry who are broken up into 22 pods, each of which will have their own schedule of what projects to visit. The pods of judges will then evaluate and nominate projects for the 22 awards before each is randomly assigned to an award, where they will visit the nominated projects and determine a winner. Heather Moore, coordinator for career engagement, said this year there will be 99 projects competing for more than $17,000 in prizes and trophies. For the first time ever, there are students competing from every department in the College of Engineering. “We have some very inspiring projects, including development of a 3-D printer to

print temporary graft tissue, enhancing the launch capabilities for an automated life rescue boat, developing better environmental humidity inside a spacesuit and lots of different biomedical, biosystems and aerospace projects among other topics,” Moore said. Arabyan said this year will bring an all time high of 500 student participants—that’s up from 370 students from last year. Design Day’s new smartphone app acts as a digital guide to the event. The app and the event website both give readers the chance to access a map of the event, schedule, project descriptions and other features. Arabyan said the app—which cost around a few thousand dollars create, update and host on Google Play and Apple App Store— will allow attendees to access Design Day information easier.
He added that the Design Day website, which has a back end for organizers, has cost around a total of $75,000 to maintain over the years he’s run the program. “All of this money doesn’t come from the university,” Arabyan said. “It comes from the companies, they pay for all this.” Although many schools across the country hold a capstone similar to this, Arabyan said that he always hears from judges that the UA’s is the best. “Nobody is as well organized as this,” Arabyan said. “They don’t have the website, they don’t have the app, they don’t have the tools.” — Follow Chastity Laskey @chastity_laskey

For Barrera, he understands that some of the speakers on campus “have a disgusting viewpoint,” but they still have the right to free speech under the First Amendment. “We are just like everyone else,” he said. “We agree that for the most part, when these Mall preachers go in there and they start saying things that are degrading to women and degrading basically to everybody, we still have to protect their right to say these things.” Barrera echoed Riester’s sentiment that students who do not agree with speakers Sam Gross/The Daily Wildcat can ignore them or engage in speech as well, but he also said that engaging with A crowd surrounds a preacher on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe. At the UA, student and speakers is “what they want.” “The easiest way for you to make sure preachers have recently been involved in altercations that that they go away quickly is just to ignore sometimes become physical. their message,” he said. When it comes to ignoring the speakers regulated high school environment to or trying to counter their speech, Rodriguez college as a component in students learning how to address viewpoints different than sees a problem. “They are always out when I have their own. “They see things that might hurt them classes, which is the worst.

The Dean of Students Office and the University of Arizona Police Department remain firm in protecting free speech on campus after two incidents involving student altercations with campus preachers on April 11. Kiersten Rodriguez, a freshman studying political science and French, knocked over the sign of a pro-life preacher while walking by the Student Union Memorial Center where the preacher was speaking, according to a report by UAPD. “They had a poster with graphic images,” Rodriguez said. “So, I tipped over the poster.” She walked away while the preacher followed her and yelled at her to stop walking. The man continued to follow Rodriguez, telling her to stop for around 20 to 30 minutes and the man eventually grabbed her arm, according to Rodriguez. In another incident, a man reported to UAPD that his friend, a pro-life preacher speaking on campus, was out chasing a man who had taken one of the pro-life preacher’s signs. The sign was worth $16 and had the words “repent believe in the gospel” on it, according to a police report for the incident. While the extent of these incidents may be uncommon, the heated interactions between speakers on campus and students happen occasionally. The Dean of Students Office is sometimes called out when people are concerned about the nature of the speech, and they will send out a staff member to interact with the speaker if there are speech-related
issues, according to Kathy Adams Riester, associate dean of students. As far as the speech-related issues go, Riester and the Dean of Students Office can’t regulate the content or viewpoint of the speech, but just the time, place and manner. This means they can regulate when amplified sound is allowed, and public outdoor spaces are fair game as designated public forums. “As long as [the speaker’s] behavior and what they’re doing is not disruptive to other people who are out there and as long as they’re not blocking access and entrances—that kind of thing—that’s about all we regulate with that,” Riester said. In the case of incidents like those on April 11, Riester said the disruption falls on the person who is trying to stop the speech by taking the speaker’s items, because the speaker has the right to express their view. When people do interfere with free speech, depending on their level of interference, they can be arrested. Sgt. Filbert Barrera, UAPD public information officer, said he arrested someone for assaulting a preacher on the mall a few years ago. “I think from time to time we do get some people who come to campus who are looking to kind of stir the pot,” he said. “So from time to time we do get calls of maybe people out there were maybe getting pretty heated and people just kind of want us to be there, but we come from the standpoint when we respond that we’re there to just protect people’s rights for the most part and we want to make sure that everyone has an ability to express their viewpoint.” Riester said she knows students sometimes get frustrated with the speech

Council members sound off on Broadway widening BY Amanda Oien
The Daily Wildcat
Tucson City Council members voted 5-1 on April 19 to approve an $18 million project plan to begin negotiations and to buy needed properties in order to widen the area of Broadway Boulevard between Euclid Avenue and Country Club Road—a two-mile stretch. The popular roadway was originally going to be widened to eight lanes, but now, it’ll only grow from four lanes to six. The plan will include sidewalks, bike lanes and new landscape and construction is not expected to begin until late 2017-2018, according to the project website. Voters approved a half cent sales tax for a $71 million Regional Transportation Authority Project in May 2006. Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik supported moving the draft into design when the council voted in June 2015, but did not vote to move the project forward last Tuesday. Kozachik said what the council voted on does not reflect the voice of the Tucson community. Neighborhood leaders and business owners gathered two days prior to the vote to protest the expansion. “We’ve heard it again and again,” Kozachik said. “They want preservation, a sense of place, they want destinations. They don’t want to spend $71 million dollars to lay down a bunch of asphalt.” The demographics and trends all indicate that people—including UA students—are

He directly addressed the regents by urging them to support Hart’s appointment with DeVry. “As members of the Arizona Board of Regents, you understand the importance of quality higher education to the success of individual students and to further academic achievement in our state,” Larkin wrote. “Dr. Hart’s appointment to the DeVry Group Board is an opportunity for her to make an impact on these key higher education objectives while adding to her ability to serve the University of Arizona.” The second letter of support was signed by Sen. Steve Pierce and Rep. T.J. Shope on April 12, and included signatures from 11 other Arizona lawmakers. “Achieving Arizona’s educational attainment goals can only happen through collaboration and a steadfast commitment to serve all of Arizona’s lifelong learners which includes support for a diverse array

looking for a more walkable urban environment, according to Kozachik. “We’re building a corridor that the concepts for the corridor are three decades in the rearview mirror,” Kozachik said. “If I hear one more time someone say we’re only doing this because the voters told us to, I’m going to puke.” Tucson City Councilman Paul Cunningham said this was one of the toughest decisions they’ve had on the council and a lot of Tucsonans are divided

It states that collaboration and communication between different educational institutions should be encouraged and “exemplary service to the University of Arizona does not cut off service elsewhere.” “Dr. Hart is a true educator, so let us take the opportunity to support rather than impede progress and base our actions on results rather than political platitudes. Arizona’s students deserve nothing less,” the letter continued. The letters were addressed to some members of the board that may be concerned about Hart’s position with DeVry. In an email from March 10, obtained by the Arizona Daily Star, regents President Eileen Klein wrote that she did not question Hart’s commitment to the UA and that the UA’s brand “hardly will be undone” by her decision to work with DeVry. “While I don’t think a post hoc review of this particular decision

Abramovitz said she believes the widening will benefit UA students and cyclists by using the pathways to connect

However, in a later email on April 9, also obtained by the Arizona Daily Star, Klein wrote that while she doesn’t believe Hart’s job with DeVry will be a conflict of interest with her position at the UA, her decision “clearly conflicts with current public perceptions about her primary role and responsibilities” as UA president. “As much as I stand by [Hart’s] right to make this decision, I cannot ignore that her decision is creating a distraction and a risk, not just to the university but to the system,” Klein wrote. “It is also impacting the public’s perception of our leadership.” Klein wrote she did not want to do anything that would cause the people to lose faith in the state’s public universities. Klein sent out an email on April 11, obtained by the Arizona Daily
to Park Avenue and Tyndall Avenue. “Broadway will now be more walkable and bikeable for the entire section from Euclid Avenue to Campbell Avenue,” Abramovitz said. “Anyone who uses a bike or walks to get around—which is a lot of the college students—it’ll be more conducive for that.” Contrary to Kozachik’s stance on businesses, Abramovitz said the widening will increase traffic, which will increase business growth. “If we don’t do the widening and Broadway gets too congested, people are going to find alternative routes,” Abramovitz said. “They’re going to take Grant Road, 22nd Street or Speedway Boulevard and people will forget that, ‘Oh! That dry cleaner is right there, or that coffee place is right there.’” People aren’t going to fight traffic, according to Abramovitz, and most of the businesses along Broadway Boulevard rely on passing traffic for business. The highly controversial project to widen Broadway Boulevard leaves elected officials, city leaders and the community divided on whether it’s the best decision for the city. The only winners in the widening, according to Kozachik, are “a big bank, a big law firm and a big corporation. The losers are the small local businesses that we say as a council that we value.”

Klein wrote in her email to the board that she thinks Hart’s decision “warrants reconsideration.” Hart wrote she is uncertain why Klein changed her opinion of the appointment with DeVry, in an email statement provided to the Daily Wildcat by UA Vice President for Communications Chris Sigurdson. “I always appreciate her support, and she has mine in turn. We often share the similar challenge of responding to a number of constituencies, most of whom almost never agree,” Hart wrote. “Her key observations have not changed, however. I have followed board of regents policy and I am fully committed to the University of Arizona.

as president, according to Regent Rick Myers, but it also allows her to participate in activities outside of the university such as the DeVry position. “I, and the rest of the board, are committed to working with her to continue to better [UA],” Myers wrote in an email to the Daily Wildcat. “Dr. Hart has continued challenges in meeting the goals of the Never Settle plan and I look forward to her accomplishments along the way.” Even with the discussion over her appointment to DeVry’s Education Board, Hart affirmed she plans to maintain her position there. “[I] view my board membership as a way to contribute to positive outcomes and quality for students in higher education who will never have the opportunity to attend the University of Arizona,” Hart wrote.

The man had asked the manager to use the restroom, but the manager said he couldn’t because the restrooms were locked. The manager started counting money when he saw the man standing behind a pillar. He then walked to the pillar and saw the man standing there with a large puddle of liquid on the floor. Upon review of the video footage for the night, the man was seen walking around the inside the market, walking around bathroom then standing behind the pillar. His posture in the video indicated that he was urinating behind the pillar. The man was arrested for criminal nuisance and taken to Pima County Jail.

Trump tops republicans in eastern primaries BY Mark Z. Barabak and Michael Finnegan The Los Angeles Times
Donald Trump swept to victory in five states Tuesday, winning primaries in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island. The Manhattan business mogul always figured to have a good day when voters in the five Eastern states went to the polls. Just how good may determine whether he wraps up the GOP presidential nomination by summertime, or has to fight all the way to the Republican National Convention in July. Starting the day, Trump had 845 delegates. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, with 559, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, with 148, forged a tenuous noncompete agreement this week to try to stop the front-runner and wrestle the nomination away at the Cleveland convention. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination. With no chance of gaining enough delegates to win outright, the only hope for Cruz, Kasich and the forces aligned against Trump is to stall him short of clinching on the convention’s first ballot and throw the floor open to alternatives in subsequent rounds of voting. Their last best chance to thwart Trump’s momentum may come next Tuesday, in Indiana, which offers 57 delegates and stands as arguably the most closely matched
and also the most complicated. Of the 71 delegates at stake, just 17 will be required to vote for the winner on the first ballot of the convention in Cleveland. The rest, elected by congressional district, can support whomever they choose, though many said ahead they would support the candidate who carried their district. Trump continued Tuesday to decry the nominating system, which is based on the delegate count in Cleveland rather than the popular vote in contests across the country. “The whole delegate system is a sham,” he said on Fox News. For his part, Cruz always faced a difficult road Tuesday, given his cultural conservatism and religiosity in a region that tends toward neither. For the last several days he has focused on Indiana, where a sizable evangelical population and buttoned-down Midwestern sensibility offer a better political fit. Lauren Renteria/The Daily Wildcat On Sunday night, his campaign announced Presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a rally at the Tucson Convention Center on March 19. Trump an alliance with Kasich, in which the governor topped the primaries with victories in five states on the April 26 Super Tuesday. would essentially cede Indiana in return for contest in the remaining six weeks of the GOP Island as well as Pennsylvania—offered a Cruz standing down in primaries in Oregon, combined 172 delegates. presidential race, which ends June 7. which votes May 17, and New Mexico on June There was only one pure winner-takeCalifornia, which votes that day and 7.

Action Bronson’s lyrics shouldn’t create unsafe space BY SCOTT BACA
The Daily Wildcat
I
’ve refrained from passing judgement on the “safe space” issue on college campuses for a while now. If a student feels they need a safe space or feels threatened in any way, especially if that person is a minority, then maybe safe spaces are warranted. It’s really not my place to say. It’s not affecting any people adversely, so even if I personally think it’s a bit much, it really doesn’t matter. But college kids wimped out too hard with this latest stunt. Student protesters at Trinity College started a petition last week that removed the peculiar but critically-acclaimed rapper Action Bronson from performing at their Spring Weekend event. Bronson is a chubby, bearded rapper from New York with an affinity for food—he used to work as a chef—and obscure sports references, which are often mentioned in his songs. He uses clever rhymes and often
some shocking lyrics to deliver a pretty nice flow. He’s a mid/major player in the rap game today. He’s not a superstar, but he’s fairly highprofile and loved by many who like his laid-back style. The specific reasons for his dis-invitation that the protesters highlighted were his violent lyrics and the fact he “is infamous for violently assaulting people at his concerts.” They also claimed that bringing Bronson in would produce a “drastically unsafe space for women, LGBTQIA+ students, and survivors of sexual assault.” Really, one musical performer could do all that? To disinvite him to your school based on a few lyrics in his songs is a showcase of immaturity and a missed opportunity to watch an awesome show. Even the assault accusation is a little out of context. The instances being referred to are times that fans rushed Bronson on-stage, and he either pushed them off or body-slammed them and let security deal with the problem. I’m fairly sure if you charge a famous performer on stage you’ll get assaulted by
security. The petition read, “It only takes one person to drunkenly (or soberly) upset Action Bronson by getting on stage, or in his way, for him to violently assault someone.” If you are climbing on-stage and running at a performer at a campus event, you are the problem, not the performer. Just the idea that a dude rapping on a stage would be an affront to students and may be physically harmful for them is dripping in so much overbearing fragility that it’s difficult to read the petition without laughing. College is a pretty sweet time where opportunities are at a premium and the responsibilities of the real world have not fully hit us. That sugary mixture gives way to some very fun experiences. Trinity College, why not take advantage of one you have right now? No one is forced to go to the concert and the petitioners really screwed it up for anyone who was excited about going. To criticize Bronson for being misogynistic and violent is to criticize every popular rapper in the game right now. I’m not saying it’s right, but rap culture
is far more liberal in celebrating violence and using derogatory terms for women, and it doesn’t necessarily mean the people who are saying these things are speaking in literal terms or even condoning the actions portrayed in their lyrics. College students, who often claim to be the most openminded of people, flipping out over a rap concert is just sad. I thought we could handle a few F-bombs and vulgar jokes. So, while Trinity gets ready for its spring concert—which is now probably headlined by Josh Groban, who I am certain won’t unleash a reign of terror over the campus as Bronson surely would have. Let’s think about this issue. Truly threatening behavior that compromises safety shouldn’t be tolerated on any college campus, but there is a 3-foot long, bold red line between threatening behavior and some throwaway lyrics at a rap concert. And Mr. Bronson: You are welcome at the UA anytime. — Follow Scott Baca @ scott10baca

‘Bill Nye an actual Science Guy’ The Daily Wildcat
E
arlier this month, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gave a speech contesting the effects of human activities on the Earth’s climate. She claims that Bill Nye, who has been adamantly trying to convince the public that global warming is a very real threat, is “as much of a scientist” as she is. She went on to say, “He’s a kids’ show actor; he’s not a scientist.” This could not be further from the truth. While Nye is best known for his children’s educational television show, “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” what most people don’t realize is that he earned a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Cornell University and worked as an engineer at Boeing for several years before creating his TV show. He developed hydraulic pressure resonance suppressors that are still used in Boeing 747 airplanes today.

challenged Nye to prove the connection between carbon dioxide emissions and climate change and to predict a trend for future years. Nye took the challenge and raised the stakes by betting Bastardi $20,000 that 2016 would be in the top-10 hottest years recorded and the decade 2010-2020 would be the hottest decade ever recorded. Does Bastardi trust his beliefs more than the entire scientific community enough to bet that kind of money? Politicians can call global warming a conspiracy theory all they want, but that does not change the fact that this threat is backed by solid scientific evidence. Palin seems to be putting a lot of weight on her opinion that Nye is not a real scientist, but what about the hundreds of real scientists who have done research to prove climate change exists? Nitpicking at one person’s credentials will not strengthen your argument, and will not lessen the gravity of the situation.

BREAKTHROUGHS JULIANNA RENZI/THE DAILY WILDCAT
KOH PHANGAN, Thailand, in the village of Chaloklum during spring 2015. An exposé by the Associated Press resulted in the release of over 2,000 enslaved fishermen in Southeast Asia.
It’s time we think of sustainable fishing BY JULIANNA RENZI The Daily Wildcat
T
he air was cool but humid as members of the Center for Oceanic Research and Education and I stepped onto the sand of a gently sloping beach on a small island in the Gulf of Thailand. We were starting work early, but we were not the only ones—a young man was getting up on a boat and stretching in the morning light. My boss leaned over to me and said, “I hope that’s not one of the trapped fishermen.” He went on to explain that a number of the fishermen surrounding the island were sold into slavery and forced to stay on their boats indefinitely, fishing without release. We looked out across the water every evening and watched as little green lights popped up while the sun sank below the horizon. The little green spots came from a myriad of squid boats, all using the light to attract squid. In that moment, the little lights went from a familiar sight to an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was reminded of the young man stretching in the morning light when the Pulitzer Prize Board announced the 2016 prizewinners on April 18. The award for public service went to the Associated Press for its exposé on Southeast Asian slaves, who are
sold and taken to work in seafood markets that feed demand in nations like the U.S. Over 2,000 slaves have been rescued from eastern Indonesia since the AP’s article, three classaction lawsuits have been launched, the Obama administration has put pressure on suppliers to step up antislavery protections and a massive fishing company has been shut down in Thailand and Indonesia. These men faced brutal conditions prior to their rescue. Many survivors reported vicious beatings, relentless forced labor, dangerous working conditions, mental distress and deaths of fellow fishermen. Part of the danger for these enslaved fishermen is simply that they are forced to be fishermen. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ranked fishing as one of the most dangerous occupations in 2013, second only to logging workers. Over 70 fishermen died for every 100,000 employed in 2013, vastly outnumbering the number of construction workers, mining machine operators, police officers and firefighters killed on the job. Drowning, rough weather on the high seas and heavy equipment all pose a threat to the lives of fishermen. The first step in righting this wrong is making sure U.S. markets source seafood from sustainable fisheries that observe fundamental human rights laws. In the long run, it may also mean reforming the way we harvest the ocean’s bounty. In most of the commercial
world, the days of non-recreational hunting expeditions are gone. Instead, industry has maximized fishing efficiency by creating highly controlled and regulated environments, whether those are in the form of farms, ranches or feedlots. Fishermen, however, still risk life and limb to harvest a large enough supply of seafood to meet growing demand. As companies and countries race to harvest more fish than competitors, global stocks plummet, decreasing the next year’s fish quantities. Fishermen consequently increase their fishing capacity by investing in better detection and capture technologies. Fishery scientists call the amount of time and materials needed to catch a certain level of fish the “catch per unit effort,” or CPUE, of a population. CPUE is used as a metric for the relative amount of a species left in a region, with the logic following that if technologies used to catch fish are held constant, the proportion of fish caught should remain relatively constant for a population. If a fisherman sits on a boat every day for one year and catches 20 tuna, but the next year does the same thing and catches only 10, and the next year only catches three, it is reasonable to assume there are less tuna in his fishing spot. Global CPUE has been declining since the late the 1900s, along with fish stocks. The only thing increasing is fishing technology. Today, the global
fishing fleet has enough capacity to fish Earth’s seas four times over. But what if there was a different way to harness that technology? Fishing does not need to be the second most dangerous job in America; rearing terrestrial livestock, after all, certainly is not. While initial aquaculture projects were criticized for their non-sustainable approaches to domesticating the sea, there is a growing movement to create integrated multi-trophic aquaculture projects that allow fishermen to raise stocks for human consumption, while simultaneously removing some pressure from wild populations. These systems reduce the impact of farming operations on neighboring ecosystems and allow for a diversified yield. Wild stocks simply do not have the capacity to feed the world’s hunger at the rate they are harvested. The dangers fishermen face on a daily basis are real, and part of what made the AP exposé so impactful was the dangers the enslaved fishermen in Southeast Asia were forced to face at sea. It may be time for nations to stop thinking about seas as the final wild frontier, but rather, start thinking of new sustainable ways to harvest fish without destroying the remaining wild populations left in the ocean. It is worth considering, for the sake of fish and fishermen alike. — Follow Julianna Renzi @jollyrenzi

Exam-Time Eating Strategies When studying for exams, many students rely on energy and coffee drinks, vending machine snacks, or fast food just to save time. However, these items do not provide the fuel your body needs to focus over the long haul. Try adding these smart snacking strategies to your study plan to keep you energized and (most importantly) help you ace your tests! Eat at regular intervals - Include snacks in between meals so that you eat every 3-4 hours to keep your blood sugar levels up, keeping your mind alert. Practice portion control - Choose items that are already packaged in individual servings. If you are buying in bulk, measure out one serving in a separate container or plastic bag to prevent overeating. Don’t fear the carbs - Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for the brain. Include complex carbs (100% whole grains, whole wheat, fruits, or vegetables) instead of processed carbohydrates (chips, cookies, candy, sugary beverages, and white bread). Include protein and healthy fats Combining protein and fats with carbs will stabilize blood sugar levels for longer lasting energy and concentration. Stay hydrated - Nothing tanks concentration quicker than dehydration. Use non-sugary options most of the time: water, tea, flavored waters. Keep food safety in mind - Foodborne illnesses will side-line your study schedule. Choose non-perishable foods or keep perishable foods cold with an ice pack
in an insulated container. Plan ahead - Stock up on healthy options at the grocery store. Use the lists below to combine complex carbohydrates with good sources of protein and healthy fats for snacks that provide longer lasting energy. Complex Carbohydrates: • Fruit (all fresh/canned in own juice/dried) • Baby carrots • Celery sticks • Bell pepper, cucumber slices • Any vegetable, really • Oatmeal • Whole-grain breads/cereal/crackers • Bars - grains/nuts/fruit • Pretzels • Popcorn Protein and Healthy Fats: • Low fat Milk (regular/soy) • Low fat yogurt (regular/Greek/Soy) • Cheese (string, Baby Bell, Laughing Cow) • Cottage cheese • Hard-boiled eggs • Peanut butter and other nut butters • Nuts • Hummus • Edamame (soy beans) • Deli meat (chicken, turkey, ham, roast beef) For more information, including snack combinations and vending machine options, read Smart Study Snacks at www.health.arizona.edu/handouts.

Uncovering the mechanism of aging
BY priyanka hadvani The Daily Wildcat
The body’s immune system has the unique ability to evolve over one’s lifespan by developing a “memory” for pathogens it encounters so a person can be protected upon a repeated, secondary infection. This is the basis for protection conferred by vaccinations. Understanding how protective immunity works and is maintained throughout the lifespan is the focus of two researchers in the UA’s Department of Immunobiology: Dr. Michael Kuhns and Dr. Janko Nikolich-Zugich. Nikolich came to the UA to pursue his passion for research on aging and its effect on the immune system. He is a professor and immunobiology department head, and he is a co-director of the UA Center on Aging. “[The] UA gave me twice as much as I hoped for, in both immunology and aging,” Nikolich said. “Also, I am able to mentor undergraduates and it is more rewarding than I imagined.” Inspiration for Kuhns’ research came from his early days of taking apart and rejoining equipment at home. “Our research is largely reverse engineering,” said Kuhns, an assistant professor in the immunobiology department. “If you know how a machine works, you can build a better one.” Kuhns hopes to engineer new therapeutic methods by picking apart the body. “The ultimate goal is to figure out how evolution has designed the immune system’s molecular machinery to see if we can build new ones that will redirect T-cells so we can get them to do what we want them to do,” he said. Kuhns explained his research by defining the big picture: The immune system is full of mobile cells. Their job is to survey the tissue and determine how they should respond to it. Kuhns and his team study CD4 T-cells, that function to coordinate the immune response. Kuhns carries out his research by mutating
a protein to see how it performs. The team tries to infer how that mutated region would function normally. “It is basically a test to see how the puzzle pieces come together to make a picture,” he said. Kuhns’ research at the UA since 2010 has led him to multiple discoveries about the immune system. “For one, we found what we call a mechanical switch to explain how information gets from the outside to the inside of a cell,” Kuhns said. “It involves some kind of conformational change.” The big idea is to understand how the pieces fit together to make the molecular machinery function. Kuhns also collaborates with NikolichZugich. Their team studies the impact of aging on T-cells. “Aging affects CD8 T-cells differently than it affects CD4 T-cells. The rules change and that may have to do with the environment in your body,” Kuhns said. Nikolich explained the relevance of studying aging effects on the immune system. “We study the most compelling human condition imaginable,” he said. “Everyone is going to age.” There are more than 500 million people in the world over the age of 65, and research on aging will increase health spans globally. Infectious diseases are one of the top-10 killers in the older adult population. “With aging there is also increased inflammation in the body that makes all chronic diseases—cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, etc.— worse,” Nikolich said. “Using mechanisms discovered by researchers like Dr. Kuhns and myself will help us improve defense against infection and control unwanted inflammation in aging.” — Follow Priyanka Hadvani @priyankahadvani

From using physics to analyze the movements of microorganisms, to creating complex mathematical algorithms that predict movements in the sky, different fields of science constantly rely on each other. These interdisciplinary partnerships can present challenges, however. Jan Wehr, a UA professor in the Department of Mathematics, has always been interested in mathematical physics, which usually involves pure mathematical problems that are motivated by physics. Recently, however, he has been exploring other areas of math. “More recently I have been moving into applied math and physics—you are still solving math problems, but you are more directly motivated by the applied problems,” Wehr said. “Mathematics is just a tool.” Some of Wehr’s most current research, which was featured by the American Physical Society, focused on the ways in which sensory delays can control robot swarming. The team tested a group of small robots that each emitted a small light signal and came equipped with a light sensor. The robots were programmed to change direction a little bit every second so their directions were randomized, and to move closer to a light signal they sensed from a neighboring robot. They could also be programmed to have either positive or negative sensory delays. A positive delay meant the robot did not react to the measurement of light until after given time period, and therefore would have time to randomly change direction before its reaction. A negative delay meant the robot extrapolated past light measurements to predict future light intensity. The researchers observed that when the signal was positively delayed, the robots moved toward each other and formed clusters. With negative delays, they dispersed to find lower-light conditions. This research has applications in many different fields. The robots, for example, could aid in search-and-rescue missions by splitting up, searching an area and then aggregating back together to share their data. The team that conducted this research was composed primarily of experimental physicists—perhaps an odd group for a trained mathematician like Wehr to be working with. “I did take a fair number of physics courses; I even taught physics for a year at Princeton,” Wehr said, elaborating on his time working with the group. “I would say I’m still learning to think and speak like a physicist … you can’t work from the sidelines. You have to really

become a part-time physicist.” Working across fields can often be difficult. The very language and mindset of scientists can vary, depending on their training and background. “There are two separate things that lead to that effect: the more sociological problem is the lack of communication between the two fields, but the deeper, more fundamental problem is that the communities simply think in different terms,” Wehr said. “Mathematicians think of reality in terms of their mathematical model, while the primary reality for physicists is the physical phenomena they observe.” When asked about his future plans, Wehr said that he would like to keep on doing what he is doing. “The physics problems I am interested in now get more exciting from year to year. … I was waiting for the field-crossing to happen, and now that it’s happening, I feel it’s easier,” he said. “It’s never going to be instantaneous, but I’m much more confident now that when I talk to a scientist, a biologist, a physicist, that we can understand each other and do something together.”
The desire to belong and conform to one’s peer group is very powerful and does not stop after high school. In college, when students experience a time of transition and social freedom, peers continue to play a strong role. Peer pressure is frequently cited as a cause for excessive drinking among college students. It comes as no surprise that students entering college show marked increases in alcohol and drug use compared to those who continue to live at home or get jobs following graduation from high school. Regarding alcohol, research describes peer pressure as a combination of three distinct influences: overt offer of alcohol, modeling, and social norms. Overt offers of alcohol range from polite gestures to intense goading or commands to drink, like during drinking games. Modeling occurs from direct imitation of another
However, there is good news about being a college student embracing adulthood. You have arrived at an age, time, and place where you can demonstrate greater ego strength as you try on new identities and behaviors safely. You can differentiate yourself from others and not get wasted in order to party or have fun. Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who party in moderation and create your own positive peer pressure circle of friends. Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A reporter was interviewing a 19 year-old woman: “And what do you think is the best thing about being a self-assured 19?” the reporter asked. She simply replied, “No beer pressure.”

student’s concurrent drinking behavior. Perceived social norms serve to make excessive drinking appear common to student expectations. Many view college as a place to drink excessively, in a time-limited fashion, before assuming responsibilities of adulthood. Combining all this with easily accessible alcohol-based social opportunities can make navigating around peer pressure challenging.

UA Museum of Art exhibit opens doors to ecology, sustainability BY natalie robbins The Daily Wildcat
Each day countless doors are opened and closed, whether it be to go to class, to make it to an appointment or to retire at home after a long day. Aside from being opened and closed, at the “Opening Doors” exhibit at the UA Museum of Art, doors are being used as a medium for ecological art. The “Opening Doors” exhibit was the main feature of the art museum’s Earth Day event, which was sponsored by Students for Sustainability and MUSE—the art museum’s student affinity group. It will be displayed outside the entrance to the museum until the end of the school year. “It’s called ‘Opening Doors’ and I hope that people will see it as an open door to the museum and come and see more,” said Gina Compitello-Moore, the marketing manager at the art museum. “Opening Doors” features art created on recycled doors, which were donated to the
project by Habitat for Humanity. Stephanie Choi, the committee chair of the Students for Sustainability Arts Committee, first conceived the idea after visiting Northwestern University for a student summit. “I was walking around their library and there were these doors up, and during this time I was thinking of forming the Environmental Arts Committee too, and all the doors were on different topics of sustainability,” Choi said. There are four doors on display: three created by students artists and one door created by Students for Sustainability. Each door features a unique ecological theme. UA alumnus Nathanael Myers’ door focuses on makes up the door. “Utilizing the door as a piece of material in itself, I was able to articulate the composite materials that construct a door of current day, and understand the creation of an object,” Myers said.
“Through the lens of sustainability, I sought to bring the inside out, exposing the elements of production and the reality of the architecturally common.” Student Shelly Weasel’s door features her depiction of Demeter, the Greek goddess of harvest and fertility. It shows Demeter in a ruined landscape, incorporating ideas about deforestation. “I chose this as the subject for my door because I want people to feel as deeply as I do that the way we humans are treating the natural world will soon result in a dead and dying planet Earth,” Weasel said. “I hope to make people share that same anguish and hope to make them to think about the future of the planet.” The final student artist door was created by Megan McKay. It depicts an endangered elephant with a smoke stack coming out of its trunk as a critique toward industrial emissions and their effect on the environment. The Students for Sustainability’s
Art Committee’s door emerged from a partnership with the organization’s Greening the Game Committee. They used water bottles collected from one of the basketball games to create a door that depicts how plastic is made. The door has plastic bottles splattered with black paint to represent the large amount of oil required for plastic production. “The idea is to think about where plastic comes from,” Choi said. “So plastic and oil together and on the other side its kind of a blue color slashed on against a black color so that it contrasts.” With the “Opening Doors” exhibit, Students for Sustainability and MUSE have created a space for ecology within the artistic community.

Find your second home at Wooden Tooth Records’ new location BY SEAN ORTH
The Daily Wildcat
Walking into the new Wooden Tooth Records feels like entering someone’s home whose purpose is to share the gift of good music. The store sits between a marijuana dispensary and a metaphysical supply store just off Fourth Avenue where its vinyl record sign hangs as a beacon to the music lovers of downtown Tucson. As I entered, co-owner Kellen Fortier chatted with a customer about the recent loss of one of music’s greatest, Prince. Fortier’s musical knowledge shines through the conversations he has with customers. Casual but with substance, these conversations reflect the type of environment Fortier hopes Wooden Tooth Records fosters—an environment that differentiates it from other stores.
“Some record stores feel dusty and cold, and so when we opened up we wanted to make customers feel at home,” Fortier said. The store is intimate, there’s a love seat in the back accompanied by a vinyl listening station. Friendly customers come in and out, browsing through CDs, vinyls and tapes spanning a multitude of genres. “We try to be pretty diverse in the genres we carry.” Fortier said. “We have a lot of mainstream artists but we try to carry obscure titles as well.” Wooden Tooth Records has an impressive collection of independent artists, but its selection of local artists make the store stand out as an independent record vendor. “We have a decent amount of local bands, but we’re really excited to have our first album release as a record label,” Fortier said as he pulled out a small 45
record from the local artists’ vinyl rack. The album, Follow You Home, was by Tucson-based alternative rock band Katterwaul. The band debuted as the first of many local acts Wooden Tooth Records hopes to create a relationship with. Wooden Tooth Records’ recent relocation came quickly. It originally opened almost exactly one year ago. After splitting from its joint-cooperation with Café Passé, the record store is finding its new stride. Wooden Tooth Records has gained a lot of local support within the past week at its new location. “We opened on April 16, which was Record Store Day, and the turnout was amazing,” Fortier said. “We had a line out the door.” Building on the amiable community that Wooden Tooth Records has already drawn in,
Fortier wants to bring even more of a neighborhood feel to his store. “We’re going to start doing a thing with Wooden Tooth Records coffee mugs where if you buy one—we usually have a pot brewing—you can come in and get a cup of coffee whenever you’re here,” he said. The new-and-improved Wooden Tooth Records fits right in with the casual and comfortable vibe of Tucson. Its expansive selection of albums can impress any music collector, but the familiar spirit of this record store makes the average shopper feel like they’re a part of something bigger. If you’re on the search for a second home, be sure to visit Wooden Tooth Records on Fourth Avenue. — Follow Sean Orth @SeanAustinOrth

One of our biggest goals is not to promote our coffee shop, but to promote the coffee scene, so people can know and become aware that specialty coffee is important and why where your money goes is important as well. So the past two weeks, we focused on two countries and talked about political strife and social strife and what coffee means to their industry. As a barista, what’s your favorite drink to make? I love cold brew. It’s absolutely one of my favorites. I love doing an iced pour over, and that’s the Japanese method of making iced coffee. So instead of a regular pour over, you split the water weight between iced and hot water and there’s a series of chemical things that happen; but essentially, the molecules slow down once they hit that ice, so you’re preserving that flavor but without diluting it. This place is beautiful. How important is aesthetic? As with any business, what you present is what people can expect from you. But especially here, our owner was a graphic

designer before he got into the coffee world and he was very good at it, but there was one thing he missed, which was social interaction. So I think it’s really cool that it [has] come through this business, that design forward is very important to us. Again, going back to awareness, making people in Tucson realize that there are bigger things in coffee and coffee is growing and it’s a community and you can become a part of it.
Do you have any regulars? We do. We’re starting to build them. It kind of took a while I think because of our location, because people are driving on First Avenue to get to work, but we’re starting to get more people. These Tuesday cuppings have been able to do more and more stuff because a lot of the same people are coming, so we have to do fresh new stuff for them. But we do get a lot of walk-ins, people who just Yelp or Google “coffee” in the area and say, “I never knew this place existed.” Are the Tuesday cuppings for anybody? Yeah, it’s free. We start at 10 [a.m.] so you might want to show up a minute or two before. I always give the low down and tell you exactly how it goes down, so it’s never that you need to know anything before [you] come. It’s pretty easy. We’re laid back and we just want to have fun and drink coffee. Next time you’re on the hunt for a place that loves coffee as much as you do, Presta Coffee Roasters is the place to be.

Tucson is home to cute, quirky little coffee shops that have been favorites to locals for years. There is, however, one coffee shop you might have missed on your way to work or school. Presta Coffee Roasters is disguised in a detailed and welldesigned building that could pass as a fancy office building or studio. Located on North First Avenue and East Alturas Street, this unique shop has been roasting beans from all over the world and serving locals for three and a half years. I walked into this shop mesmerized by the detailed windows, patio and coffee bar. I talked to barista Jacque Brackeen about Presta Coffee and what they’re about.

Album artwork for Beyoncé’s latest album Lemonade, released April 23. Queen B’s visual album explores vulnerability after allusions to Jay Z’s marital infidelity.
When Beyonce gives you lemons . . . BY mariel bustamante The Daily Wildcat
T
he long anticipated short-film and visual album Lemonade is finally here, and it comes with a lot of baggage. Despite the amazing production from Jack White, Diplo, Ezra Koenig and guest appearances by Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd, Lemonade attracted more publicity with its personal nature. Beyoncé has always been one to keep her personal life out of the media, with the noted exceptions of creative Instagram photos of Blue Ivy. The past few years for Beyoncé have been stellar with her sold-out world tour in tandem with hubby Jay Z. This visual album, however, took everyone by surprise. Beyoncé shows herself as a human being who has ups and downs in life just like the rest of us. Her sister, Solange, is a wonderful artist with a powerful voice. However, she is most famous for stealing the limelight in 2014 for a recorded video of her hitting Jay Z in an elevator. Speculation across media arose, mostly surrounding the simple question: why? Many theories circulated and among the most popular was the rumor Jay Z cheated on Beyoncé, and thus her sister took it into her own hands—literally—to defend Queen B. With Lemonade, we learn that this was true all along. Who would cheat on Beyoncé?
Lemonade is dedicated to this dark part of ’Yonce’s life. Beyoncé makes listeners think she is leaving Jay and that Lemonade is her suave divorce announcement in the first half of the album. We realize that is not the message Beyoncé intends. She mocks Jay Z’s side chicks, and the ever-so-famous “Becky with the good hair,” which fans have since been trying to track down. “Don’t Hurt Yourself feat. Jack White” is a song that gives the direct message that Jay Z did this to Bey: “This is your final warning, you know I give you life. If you try this shit again, you gon’ lose your wife.” Despite this song being completely different than a normal Beyoncé song, with heavy use of crazy guitar and alternative sounds, its powerful message shines through. Don’t mess with Bey, she isn’t your average chick. Only Beyoncé could have delivered this message in such a powerful way without being awkward or cheesy. She is giving her side of the story her unique way. She answers all questions the Beyhive might have had and still disses the media and tabloids one track at a time. The conclusion is an age old truth: Beyoncé is incredible. She delivers the difficult subject at the heart of Lemonade with grace while taking pride in her vulnerability. Lemonade is available to stream exclusively on Tidal but available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon. — Follow Mariel Bustamante @mabeldelrey

rizona safety Will Parks is one of three Wildcats projected to be taken in the 2016 NFL Draft. A projected lateround pick, Parks may well end up being an undrafted free agent. Don’t be fooled by his late round status, however. Parks was a bright spot on a terrible defense last year. In fact, the defensive struggles might be why he is so overlooked. He can play in space, roam the field and he is a sure tackler. Not only does he have that, but he can also deliver big hits. Remember his hit against Oregon State’s Jordan Villamin? Imagine that on Sundays. Topping his play on the field might be his attitude. The Philadelphia native has a great personality, making for a fun teammate to play alongside. If his play isn’t seen as enough, his leadership and effort will stand out among the rest. One of Rich Rodriguez’s hardest workers and funniest guys, Parks should have no trouble finding a home in the NFL whether he is drafted or not. Keep an eye on him later this week.

ven though Cayleb Jones already possesses an NFL-caliber body, he is going to need to fall into the right situation to succeed. Jones’ 2015 season may not have been as prolific as his 2014, but he and the other receivers were dealing with a hampered quarterback situation. Jones has the talent and the hands to be a solid possession receiver and his long frame allows him to be dangerous in the red zone. Where Jones lacks is top-end speed as he may struggle to beat corners vertically at the next level. One team that could take a chance on him is the Seattle Seahawks, due to their history with undrafted receivers. Both Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin were undrafted Pac-12 Conference wide receivers who made heavy contributions to Seattle. Neither Kearse nor Baldwin has great speed, but Kearse’s superior ability to catch in traffic and Baldwin’s topnotch quickness have made a respectable tandem. Jones could also be a solid fit on teams like Carolina or New England where the majority of their receivers are drafted in the mid to late rounds, if at all. — Follow Ivan Leonard @Ivan14bro

cooby Wright III will most likely be the first Arizona Wildcat selected in the upcoming NFL Draft, but don’t bank on the former All-American to be selected in the first round. Wright has the potential to be one of the best players in the draft given what he showcased at Arizona. However, he does show many red flags, especially with his physical traits. His height and weight aren’t ideal for a middle linebacker, but an entire offseason with the right team can mold him into a physical specimen. His 40-yard dash was timed at 4.90 seconds, so Wright’s speed isn’t quite polished to keep up with NFL-caliber players. His instinct showed in his sophomore season, though, when he racked up 163 tackles, 14 sacks and 29 tackles for loss. Formerly recruited as a two-star prospect, Wright plays with a motor that can force him off his feet, but he will be a steal on either the second or third day of the draft. Judging Wright from a stopwatch is extremely naive and whatever team selects him will take a diamond in the rough. “I just want to go play ball,” Wright said. “I’ll be 21 years old playing in the NFL living my dream, so I’m excited for it to be honest.” — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

Pac-12 producing plenty of NFL talent BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
E
very year, the NFL draft rolls around and a new buzz and excitement is filled for those teams who struggled the previous season. Players will begin their new lives in the pros as they aim to help struggling or successful franchises. The SEC has led all conferences with 246 draft picks in the last five years, including 54 from last year alone. The ACC has 185 over the past five seasons and the Pac-12 Conference is third with 160. The Pac-12 had 39 draft picks last year, nine of which came in the first round to tie the ACC for the most on day one. Washington saw three first-round picks, while Oregon and USC each had two. The Arizona Wildcats, meanwhile, failed to get a single player drafted. Players like Scooby Wright III, Cayleb Jones and Will Parks are all hoping to change that trend this year. “I think Scooby is going to be a great pro,” head coach Rich Rodriguez said.
rebecca noble/The Daily Wildcat
Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez scowls inside Arizona Stadium on Sept. 19, 2015. Rodriguez’s Wildcats haven’t found much success in the NFL Draft, but the Pac-12 Conference is another story.
“Wherever they project him and whatever club takes Scooby, he’s going to wind up being, I think, an 8-10 year veteran.” While Arizona lacks in the draft department, the Pac-12 has seen some talented players make their way in the NFL.
Marcus Mariota from Oregon was the second overall pick last year and he turned in a successful rookie campaign with the Tennessee Titans. Leonard Williams from USC was widely regarded as the most talented player in the draft and was taken sixth overall by the New York Jets. Shaq
Thompson, the 25th overall pick from Washington, saw substantial time as a linebacker with the Super Bowl-bound Carolina Panthers. The Pac-12 has the potential to make another big splash in the draft this year. Jared Goff, from California, is the consensus No. 1 pick to the Los Angeles Rams among seven analysts from NFL. com. UCLA linebacker Myles Jack and Oregon defensive lineman DeForest Buckner are seen as top-10 picks as well. Had Wright not suffered injuries throughout his junior year, the AllAmerican linebacker might have been a mid-first round pick. If he stays healthy, Wright, a now mid-round prospect, could end up being one of the steals of the draft. Jones and Parks are both projected in the later rounds or as undrafted free agents. So while Arizona’s draft talent has been scarce, the Pac-12, as a unit, has produced some incredible talent. Keep an eye on those later rounds, though, as those Wildcats among others might surprise you if given the chance. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_hansen42

Tucson native returns home to UA BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
Head coach Sean Miller isn’t done on the recruiting trail just yet. Miller and the Arizona Wildcats nabbed two more players for next year’s roster as Lipscomb graduate transfer and Tucson native Talbott Denny will play his final year for his hometown Wildcats. Two-star shooting guard Jake DesJardins also announced he will walk-on for Arizona next season. These two will join a talented group of incoming freshman that gives Miller one of the best recruiting classes in the country. Five-star players Kobi Simmons, Terrance Ferguson, Rawle Alkins and Lauri Markkanen along with Talbott and DesJardins, cap a strong offseason for Miller and his staff. Denny, a former Salpointe Catholic standout, announced over Twitter on Monday that he will be joining the Wildcats next season. Denny played for three seasons at Lipscomb in Nashville, Tennessee, before only playing in one game last year due to a torn labrum, according to Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star. “Happy to announce I’m coming home
for my 5th year,” Denny tweeted. “Officially signing with Arizona.” In his three years at Lipscomb, the 6-foot6 guard averaged 4.3 points per game in 90 games played. Denny averaged career highs with 5.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game his junior season. DesJardins will walk-on as a freshman for the Wildcats. After leading Coronado High School to one of the best seasons in school history, the 6-foot-8 Henderson, Nevada, native will add even more depth for the Wildcats next season. “Extremely blessed to announce that I have committed to play basketball at the University of Arizona next year,” DesJardins tweeted. After only having a commitment from Markkanen by the end of 2015, Miller has been on a recruiting spree since 2016 rolled around. This crop of newcomers bodes well for Miller. Though the guard position is filled to capacity for the Wildcats, Denny will bring a senior leadership and voice that will be crucial for a team that just saw five players leave due to graduation. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_hansen42

Could Luke Walton be headed to the Lakers? BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
T
Dan Honda/Bay Area News/TNS
The Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry (30) confers with interim head coach Luke Walton against the Denver Nuggets in the first half of a preseason game at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2015. Walton is a candidate for the Lakers’ head coaching vacancy.
he wickedness of the Los Angeles Lakers’ season took an expected turn with the firing of head coach Byron Scott on Sunday, after posting two of the franchise’s worst seasons back-toback. Los Angeles is desperate for a head coach, but fortunately for the front office, there’s an aspiring young coach by the name of Luke Walton waiting for that vacancy. Lakers fans may feel like they’re taking a blast to the past six years ago when Walton was riding the bench during the back-toback championship run in 2009 and 2010. Walton wasn’t posting attention-grabbing statistics, but sometimes the student that studies the teacher’s craft ends up becoming a better teacher. Walton played under Hall of Fame head coach Lute Olson at Arizona, Phil Jackson in Los Angeles and is currently the assistant coach under Steve Kerr with the Golden State Warriors. Three notable coaches who groomed Walton to enter the big stage prove maybe this coaching thing is perfect for him. Walton comes off as inexperienced, but he also led the Warriors to a 24-0 start, the best start in NBA history. On the flip side, how much of that was actually Walton coaching when Kerr was in his ear off the court and arguably the best shooter in NBA history in Stephen Curry is in his prime? Bleacher Report’s Kevin Ding told ESPN 710 AM in Los Angeles that Jackson thinks Walton is capable of being a head coach, even though some outsiders may disagree. “He’s sharper than people think,” Ding
VOTE
said. “He’s not necessarily top of the line and he does have limited coaching experience, but by the same token, a guy like Phil Jackson would not endorse him as basketball savvy if he was not—he just wouldn’t.” Jackson has 13 rings combined as a player and a head coach, so he’s been around the block a few times and his insight is more credible than the average NBA figure. Walton going to the Lakers is written on the wall, especially with the new era of franchise players stepping up to the plate after Kobe Bryant rode off into the sunset. “There are so many pieces that fit perfectly to have Luke come to the Lakers,” Ding said. D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and Larry Nance Jr. are the four young core players the Lakers. Of those four, the oldest players are Nance and Clarkson who are both 23 years old. With a youthful coach like Walton taking insight from previous coaches, especially Jackson, there isn’t a better fit for Los Angeles. “He’s just such a great fit for the Lakers family—it shows respect to the past in regards to Phil [Jackson],” Ding said. “The guy is 36 years old and can relate to these millennials that are on the Lakers’ roster. It makes so much sense to me and whatever concerns people have, I think that it might be valid to some extent, but who else out there is going to give you so much in one package?” For now, Walton is enjoying Golden State’s quest for back-to-back titles. But the Lakers’ general manager is menacingly rubbing his hands for any chance to talk to the former Laker and the potential captain of the ship that is one of the premier sports franchises in the world. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
