KRISTINE AMAN sets a piece of her freshly cut hair on fire during her performance piece entitled “Slow Burn” during the most recent installment of the Hey Baby! Art Against Sexual Violence show outside of Studio One on April 24. Aman dipped small portions of her hair in wax, cut each piece off one by one and passed them out through the audience, lighting them on fire, while repeating, “It’s a slow burn.” After being sexually assaulted in 2006 and again in 2010, Aman started to question what it means to define oneself as a woman in today’s world and said she feels that “to walk in this world presenting as a female or feminine is a risk.” Through cutting off and burning her hair in what she refers to as “step 80” of her healing process, Aman said she is shedding a part of her femininity and “trying to explore other ways of being that are truer to [her]self.”

Last night, the UA Hillel Foundation held a special lecture sponsored by Christians United for Israel, featuring Kasim Hafeez. Many gathered, both UA students and Tucson community members alike, to hear Hafeez address one of the most controversial and growing debates: Zionism and Israel as a state. Jessica Marzucco, the Western field director for CUFI on the UA campus, introduced Hafeez with a powerful statement, calling for universal attention of the pro-Israel debate. “Israel is not a Jewish issue, but a human one,”

Marzucco said. Being a firm believer in both Islam and Palestine, Hafeez said he fights for a change of view in regards to how many view Israel. While Hafeez is a strong supporter of Israel and the idea of a homeland for the Jewish people, he did not always follow this ideology. For much of his life, Hafeez said he was extremely anti-Semitic, and he had skewed views of what Israel and its people had stood for. This idea stemmed from an idea of victimization he felt as a Muslim in the Western world, Hafeez explained, and this very victimization is something that still fuels the skewed

The Dean of Students Office and Councilman Steve Kozachik of Ward 6 hosted a panel titled “Free Speech and Civility: Striking the Balance,” which raised several questions on Wednesday regarding protected and unprotected speech. The panelists, including Toni

Massaro, Kozachik, Kathy Riester and former Congressman Ron Barber answered several questions regarding the First Amendment and how it is implemented at the UA. “Freedom of speech, like any other constitutional liberty, is not unbounded,” said Massaro, dean emerita at the James E.

A panel discussion was held last night regarding the movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against the state of Israel and its violations of human rights. Discussions consisted of the history of Israel, U.S. funding and the history of the BDS movement. The people in the panel that were speaking at this event come from a wide range of backgrounds and studies. The panel consisted of Matthew Abraham, a professor in the English department ; David Gibbs, a history and government professor; Miranda Joseph and Sandra Soto, professors in the gender and women’s studies department ; Alex Karaman and Brooke Lober, graduate students in gender and women’s studies;

They all related their diverse talks back to the central theory of BDS. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions refers to a set of tactics including individual and institutional boycott and divestment from companies that profit from Israel’s military and occupational activities. This is intended to isolate Israel and negatively impact its economy. “The practicality of BDS is very different depending on your location,” Karaman said. “So let’s say if you live and work in the United States and shop in the United States, the need to buy Israeli products is lessened because the availability of

content. So does the speaker’s role — what we can say in private, for example, is quite different from what we can say as an employee.” Massaro, who provided a legal perspective in Wednesday’s panel, added that individuals need to remember why freedom of speech is a constitutional right. The First Amendment, according to Massaro, was meant to foster knowledge, political engagement and liberty, not just to protect personal autonomy. Massaro’s role in the panel was to “assure the audience appreciates the First Amendment basics when confronted with especially violent, vulgar or offensive speech that tests the limits of decency.” “We live in a pluralistic society, which values both liberty and equality, among other important interests,” Massaro said. “How do we strike the balance?” Joe Patterson, a UA alumnus, said he decided to attend the panel because he was interested in the First Amendment and violence. “I’m a psychologist, and I’m very concerned about violence and the kinds of things that lead to violence… and our ability to solve problems in some other way,” Patterson said. A friend of Barber’s and member of Kozachik’s Ward, Patterson said that the conversation on freedom of speech and civility is very important. During the panel, Patterson referred to a bumper sticker he has seen around Tucson that implies a support for guns. “We have to find ways to help people, who are civil people, find their voice in ways that can be heard and not be uncivil,” Patterson said. “Beyond that, we have to face a culture that promotes violence. We have movies and television … [and] a culture that says the way that we deal with conflict is through violent action.” Additionally, Patterson said it is important to have a counterbalance to the things we see, using Brother Dean’s protests and controversial signs as an example. “The bigger question is how can we share and express ideas but also make sure that people still feel safe and welcome as part of the campus and Tucson community,” said Riester, associate dean of students. According to Riester, her role in the panel was to provide insight on how First Amendment rights and expressive speech practices are dealt with at the UA. “Disrespectful speech may breed disrespect for the speaker, counterspeech and other quite significant nonlegal costs,” Massaro said. “In the age of social media, these costs can be quite severe.”

products from other companies is large. In Israel and in Palestine alike, the omnipresence of Israeli products — for example, in stores — is so much that sometimes it might be impossible to avoid purchasing those products.” This means that BDS has to take place outside of Israel and Palestine. It’s a way for concerned citizens living elsewhere in the world to express their solidarity with Palestinians, given that the call for BDS came directly from Palestinian civil society in 2005. “A lot of Palestinians work for Israeli companies, so for them to engage in the boycott in every sort of way possible would mean the potential loss of their income [and] the instability for their families,” Karaman said. “BDS takes place very differently in Israel and Palestine, than it does in the [U.S.]” Although the panel was discussing BDS with a focus on putting pressure on Israel, the subject of BDS has a very strong tie to the corporations in America, specifically corporations along the U.S.-

Mexican border. This means that what is going on in Tucson has an effect in Israel, and many of the same companies being targeted by BDS activists are also targeted by immigration activists in the borderlands. “If you follow the money trail, you can follow it up to the same corporations,” Vasquez said. “And when you follow the money after it’s made in the corporation, it generally goes to politicians. This is a phenomenon known as the military industrial complex.” This is a very big situation that also affects the UA. “In the [U.S.] there have been 24 really major campaigns where students actually focus on the investments of their university,” Lober explained. The campus-based move for divestment may be coming to the UA next. For example, the UA has major research and financial ties with Raytheon Missile Systems, one of the targets of the BDS campaign. Raytheon does testing at the UA Science and Technology Park, meaning that everyone who pays money to the school indirectly allows for new missiles to be

views of Israel today. “An idea that was taught was that of victimology, that as a British Muslim, you were a victim to Western society,” Hafeez said. One of the main problems Hafeez addressed was the ideas that he was exposed to during his time in university. He said he fears that students are still receiving the same exposure to the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic ideas that he did. With the recent attack in the Jewish marketplace in France earlier this year, as a Western European, he explained that the antiSemitism situation is a very real problem that still exists today. Even during his time in university, Hafeez said he became further immersed in anti-Israeli ideas. He said he now travels to various college campuses in hopes of eradicating the skewed views that he once held in his college years. “I became more involved in [Muslim] extremist ideas,” Hafeez said. “I found that there were strong anti-Israel messages in university.” Hafeez encouraged university students to reject skewed views of Israel that are all too popularized, stressing, “It is easier to hate a symbol than the individual,” and, “Without Jewish people and Judaism, there would not be Christianity or Islam.” After the lecture, Hafeez took audience questions and provided answers, sometimes

After the lecture, Daniela Tascarella, president of CUFI and a senior studying Judaic studies and political science, gave her thoughts on Hafeez’s message and what change she thinks it can bring. “I really liked his message,” Tascarella said. “It’s encouraging to hear that people can really learn and hear the truth about Israel, that opinions can change and that there’s hope.” Hope is exactly what Hafeez and CUFI both said they have in university students. Hafeez said he hopes to create a stronger discourse about Israel in college students and reject the misrepresentations many are faced with. While biases have been present for many generations, there is still a long way to go in reaching a resolution, Hafeez said as he explained that this resolution begins with the youth and new generations. Hafeez concluded his lecture by explaining the importance of young adults on college campuses and the change they can bring. “Campuses have become the battleground for Israel’s reputation, and that’s why you guys are the most important,” Hafeez said. “You guys are standing on the front lines. You guys have a voice. You guys are standing up for a country that values human rights.”

METHODS OF SURVIVAL Survivors of sexual assault reflect on the unique ways they found to cope at the end of Sexual Assault Awareness Month

rebecca noble/the Daily Wildcat

TOP: Jasmin Hayes sways to “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac, her favorite band, in her home on April 23. After being sexually assaulted shortly before her high school graduation six years ago, the song has become a “safe zone” for her and something that is “always going to be there for [her] when [she] needs it to be.” This song about growing and changing has remained a constant in Hayes’ life and an unwavering source of comfort over the years from which Hayes said she has found strength to heal. UPPER MIDDLE LEFT: Kristen Nelson reads an original poem at Casa Libre en la Solana on April 25. After multiple experiences with various forms of violence throughout her life, Nelson said she found solace in writing poetry and publicly speaking out against sexual assault with her writing. In 2003, Nelson founded Casa Libre en la Solana, a nonprofit community writing center offering a multitude of classes, workshops, readings and community events. LOWER MIDDLE LEFT: Yola Gómez annotates an email exchange between her ex-girlfriend and her alleged rapist as a piece of performance art entitled “In the Margins” during the most recent installment of the Hey Baby! Art Against Sexual Violence show at Studio One on April 24. The 11-page exchange was how Gómez found out that she was raped years ago, as she said she has no recollection of the night in question. Through publicly naming her rapist at the event, Gómez asserts that she is “taking the power back, saying that [she’s] not afraid,” and is announcing to the world that she is “willing and ready to do battle with anyone.” MIDDLE RIGHT: Ramone “Rambo Reza” Duarte reclines on his couch in some of his favorite clothing with a gold cross stage prop used in one of his burlesque acts and a stuffed cat in his home on Wednesday. Duarte began doing burlesque with The Manly Manlesque show shortly after he was sexually assaulted in 2013 and said that “burlesque has been a vehicle for [him] to explore being vulnerable and male” and has been a “constructive and healing experience.” An avid listener of punk rock since the age of 12, Duarte thinks of burlesque as “the punk rock of the performing arts.” BOTTOM: Alee Schwarz reviews a photograph of a model and her completed denim art reading “DON’T RAPE” at Denim Day Tucson on Fouth Avenue on April 25. After being sexually assaulted upon entering college, Schwarz quietly struggled with the trauma until becoming involved with anti-sexual violence organizations and meeting fellow survivors who were able to provide the understanding she needed. Now, Schwarz said she takes comfort in designing flyers and photographing events to help spread support for survivors like herself.

Stop with the ‘Cinco de Drinko’ nonsense BY Martin Forstrom The Daily Wildcat

hose of us of Irish heritage already have to endure the bastardized so-called holiday that is St. Patrick’s Day every March. I do not participate in the festivities, but I do watch my people be humiliated by a day filled with shameless, mindless hedonism that is ostensibly justified by wearing green and drinking green beer and other superficial celebrations of the culture. Of course, the vast majority of St. Patrick’s Day celebrators do very little or nothing at all to learn about or respect the actual culture of Ireland, which has much less to do with alcoholism than one might assume based on what has become, unfortunately, our most famous holiday. Cinco de Mayo, sadly, is also being degraded and turned into a day of drinking and casual racism. We need to stop this. Proud Chicanos, in particular, should absolutely not call such a sacred day “Drinko de Mayo” and should refrain from allowing the day to become chiefly about alcohol. In fact, I urge Chicanos and all UA students in general to refrain from drinking entirely (yes, it is possible to go an entire day, even a holiday, without imbibing alcohol) on this important holiday and to instead celebrate Mexican and Chicano culture and, of course, the Mexican victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo does not, as some erroneously believe, mark Mexican Independence Day, which is the most important Mexican holiday and is celebrated September 16. However, it is, perhaps, even more important for the U.S.: Napoleon III had planned to make Mexico a vassal following his presumed victory in this battle and thus use Mexico as a base from which to support the Confederacy in the American Civil War. The Confederacy could well have won the war had the Mexican Army not managed this heroic and unlikely victory. For that, we, as patriotic Americans, owe Mexicans and Mexican-Americans a day of celebration of their unique and beautiful culture — and, yes, of sobriety. Heavy drinking and a lack of effort to understand the culture being celebrated (often, for instance, whilst wearing a sombrero and speaking broken Spanish) tends to produce casual racism and cultural appropriation. If cultural appropriation is ever an important or relevant concept, it is when drunken college students don sombreros and fake moustaches and drink tequila in a spectacularly failed effort to appreciate Mexican culture. Adding an “o” after every noun is not speaking Spanish. Dressing like a stereotypical Mexican is not showing your appreciation for the culture. Instead, make an effort to learn about the history of the day and about Mexican and Chicano culture generally. Eat Mexican food. Attend a respectful celebration with actual Mexicans and Chicanos, not a faux Mexicanthemed “Drinko de Mayo” celebration. And, again, never call it that. It should go without saying, by the way, that “drinko” is not a Spanish word. Even if you cannot find a suitable celebration or do not have the time, simply refraining from drinking this May 5 is one way to do your part to help fight back against the St. Paddyization of the holiday. The Huffington Post reports that the bastardized holidays have even been mashed together; in 2013, an Irish Pub in Sacramento hosted “O’Drinko de Mayo,” “complete with $3 margaritas, $2 tequila shots and the decidedly non-Irish staple of $2 tacos.” However, it also reports that there is a strong backlash among the entire Latino community and an increase in events that specifically bar alcohol. An example of a better alternative to such moronic celebrations of “Drinko de Mayo” is Roberto Rodríguez’s class’s Cinco de Mayo Sobriety 5K Run. It will feature authentic, healthy Mexican food, a discussion of the history of the event, and, of course, no alcohol. The event begins at 8 a.m. at the John A. Valenzuela Youth Center on May 2 and is open to the Tucson community. “Cinco de Mayo, for Mexican-Americans, is something sacred; it was an attempt by a foreign power to take over the country,” Rodriguez said. “The battle was victorious, and nowadays, it’s been converted into a drinking holiday, which is very insulting and degrading — especially when you consider that there are very high rates of alcoholism in our [Mexican and Chicano] communities. In effect, the beer companies have hijacked [the holiday]. … So, that’s what this run is about: to raise consciousness of issues that need to be resolved.” Do your part by attending the Sobriety Run or one of the many similar events that are popping up around the country — or at least avoid making a fool of yourself and insulting such a beautiful culture and such an incredibly important day in our and Mexico’s history. — Martin Forstrom is a senior studying sociology and Latin American studies.

Survivors will always have support from us As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to an end, we reflect on our ongoing responsibilities as allies to sexual assault survivors

exual assault is a problem at the UA. It has been a problem for many, many years and it will continue to be one for many more — this can not and must not be denied. As on all other campuses in this country, the combination of many institutional misunderstandings and, sometimes, willful institutional negligence has silenced survivors Today, Sexual Assault Awareness Month ends, but our consciousness of these systems must be heightened for longer than just 30 days. On many campuses, it’s the efforts of student journalists on the ground that have extended this consciousness, that have broken the story of sexual assault, that have been responsible for exposing institutional inequities in all arenas. Now, activism at Columbia University in the form of carried mattresses and projected mantras is covered in national newspapers, but, at first, outrage began as a

two-part investigation by Anna Bahr in her blog “Bwog.” In Boston University’s The Daily Free Press, just two days ago, a letter to the editor from a survivor of the reporting process was published. These student-run papers and websites have served as forums for disclosing, for venting, for rallying. Of our studentrun paper, readers should expect nothing less. On our campus, though, the Daily Wildcat’s relationship to the topic of sexual assault throughout the years, throughout many editorial boards and throughout many graduating classes has been, at times, just as fraught as the university’s. Mistakes have been made; ignorance has sometimes overshadowed

experience. Even as our own understanding of the issues evolves, even though our paper changes hands from staff to staff every semester, each with different experiences and outlooks, we cannot expect our unclean slate to be blanked out so often. It follows that survivors, already often betrayed by institutions, have lost faith in us as an outlet through which to tell their stories, do not trust us to represent their trauma with accuracy and objectivity. We cannot adequately express how much we wish to repair that relationship. Reporting on the welfare of students and whatever may threaten it is our top priority. As students, journalists, friends of survivors and, for some

To survivors we offer this message: We support you

of us, as survivors ourselves, we have a vested interest in justice and accountability around sexual assault. We do not seek to contribute to a culture in which survivors are discredited or silenced — in which these patterns prevent them from coming forward. Instead, we would like to amplify the stories of survivors who wish to share, to ensure that they can’t be ignored any longer, to guarantee that change will occur. Navigating a large institution alone is terrifying; together we are strong. So to survivors we offer this message: We support you. We believe you. We’re here for you, and we will be here, patiently waiting.

Letter to the editor alternative. The Arizona Center for Judaic Studies supports students who wish to study in Israel and neighboring countries, as well as those who wish to undertake internships at Israeli businesses, nongovernmental organizations and other private and public entities for academic credit. Unlike the proponents of BDS, and as scholars of Israel and Judaica, we do not see our role as that of advocates or detractors of any society, regime or political cause, let alone of Israel and of Zionism. Our primary interest is in understanding Jewish culture. We want to know how, like all cultures, Jewish civilization, one of the oldest and most diverse in the world, is put together; how it changes; how it can (and sometimes has) come undone; how it addresses various challenges; how it interacts with other cultures; how others interact with it; and how human beings make sense of it all. We try hard not to conflate political advocacy and analysis, much less allow our political, moral and aesthetic values to dominate our scholarship. Political orthodoxy and the free pursuit of knowledge are incompatible. Universities should be places in which scholars inspire students to cultivate the latter, and not the former.

are trying to politically disempower Israeli Jews. One alternative to limiting the free exchange of ideas, entrenching the regional conflict to which Israel is a party and seeking to disempower a people is exploring what Israel and Jewish culture are all about, in their multilayered, multiethnic and multireligious complexity. A key to this alternative is learning about Jews and Israel from experts (of various political leanings) in those subjects. Experiencing Israeli society firsthand as students in cosmopolitan Israeli institutions offers a unique, close-up view as well. Such an exploration can go a long way toward fostering a nuanced understanding and expose students to a wide array of relevant voices — especially to the voices of those Jews and Arabs who have a direct stake in Israel’s functioning (and malfunctioning) as a democratic society and political community. Numerous study abroad programs — including one sponsored and run by the UA — exist in order to realize that very

University students can find a myriad of interesting and dynamic opportunities for addressing the crucial subject of human rights. We find it disconcerting, though, that several American colleges and universities have been platforms for proposals, now echoed by a small cohort of UA faculty, to boycott, divest and sanction the state of Israel and Israeli society. As UA President Ann Weaver Hart has officially noted, academic boycotts run contrary to the free flow of ideas that is basic to academic freedom. In particular, BDS is discriminatory because it seeks to limit the free expression of Israelis (Arabs, Jews and others), and only them. Notably, it seeks to do this at a time of massive human rights violations across the world to which the BDS advocates pay comparatively little, if any, attention. Indeed, the BDS approach only inflames conflict and does nothing to illuminate the thorny and complex dilemmas that undergird conflict. As a prominent supporter of BDS as a tactic has noted, many BDS proponents are not really trying to bolster anyone’s human rights. Rather, they

POLICE BEAT BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

Barking mad

A male individual reported an incident of assault at Tumamoc Hill to the University of Arizona Police Department on April 15. The individual who reported the assault said he saw a man walking two dogs along the gas line into UA property. The individual said he made contact with the man and informed him that dogs were not allowed on Tumamoc Hill. The individual also informed the man that the area in question was closed to walkers at that time. The man ignored the reporting individual and continued to walk along the gas line. The reporting individual proceeded to take out his phone and tell the man that he was going to call the police. The individual said that as he was holding the cellphone in his hand, the man pushed down on the phone, causing it to leave the individual’s grip. The individual said that he had caught the phone before it had reached the ground. The individual stated that during the encounter, the man made several incoherent statements. These statements consisted of the man stating that he was a Vietnam veteran and speaking about God. The man also told the individual, “God help you if I see you again.” The individual told the UAPD officer that he felt threatened by the statement. The officer made contact with a retired professor doing research with the reporting party who said that he had not witnessed the incident. However, he said that he had been involved with the man in a separate incident shortly after the original. He said that he too had informed the man that dogs were not allowed on Tumamoc Hill and that the man began yelling incoherently and continued to make his way down the hill. The reporting party said that he wished to prosecute if the man was located. The man was not found near the property at the time of dispatch.

IT’S A GREAT BIG UNIVERSE OUT THERE.

It was actually Tom Hanks

A UAPD officer was dispatched to Roy’s Place, an extension of the UA BookStores, in reference to a shoplifting incident on April 15. The reporting party informed the officer that an individual wearing a baggy blue jersey had concealed items within the store that were held for sale and proceeded to leave without paying. The individual had made contact with two other subjects, one wearing a pink shirt and the other wearing a dark grey shirt, within the store. The officer noted that they appeared to be friends. The surveillance video showed that the individual in the pink shirt had turned away from the individual in the baggy blue jersey as the latter concealed two shirts under his own. A moment later, the same individual proceeded to conceal a hat in his left pocket. He then left the store with the other two individuals. The reporting party informed the officer that the individuals in the pink and grey shirts were across the street. They had gone inside a library and the officer waited for them to come back out. The officer made contact with the two individuals. The individual in the pink shirt identified himself and provided guardian information. He said that he only knew the individual in the baggy blue jersey from downtown and knew him as “Big.” He did not know anything else about him. The other individual was uncooperative with the officer. Both were released as there was no evidence proving that they had any connection with the suspect.

Public education support rally BY Brandi Walker The Daily Wildcat

A rally will be held tomorrow to support public education at the UA campus. Gov. Doug Ducey will be giving a presentation at the Student Union Memorial Center on Friday, and the group plans to meet and begin to rally at the corner of Second Street and North Mountain Avenue at 10:45 a.m. “We’ve got about a year to go before the state Legislature reconsiders the funding into public education in Arizona, and we want to make sure that they know that we are watching,” said Nancy Montoya-Iljams, executive producer for Media Source America. “… Nothing can be done to impact the budget right now, for public education, and you know about all the cuts.” Montoya-Iljams said the governor will not answer phone calls and does not respond to letters, but that they know he hears them. She said they know the governor will arrive between 11-11:30 a.m., so the group wants to get there before he does. “It’s a peaceful demonstration, but we’re pissed,” Montoya-Iljams said. “We want to let the governor know that it’s not okay that he comes onto our university after cutting funds to the university. It’s kind of hypocritical.” Montoya-Iljams said she does not know how the turnout will be, but that the group has a mailing list of about 450 people in Tucson who provided their phone numbers and email addresses to find out what is going on in Tucson. Montoya-Iljams said a rally was held

earlier this year, during the Tucson Festival of Books. “We started at Tucson High, and there were about 150 people,” Montoya-Iljams said. “We marched from Tucson High to the university and held a rally there, and then marched within the festival … and picked up a lot more people who just kind of joined in.” Sarah White, a biology sophomore, said she thinks the budget cuts in Arizona are absolutely absurd. “The way in which a society spends its money is a direct reflection of that society’s priorities,” White said. “Arizona — well, Doug Ducey — has made it very clear they view the funding of a private prison over education as more important. That is illogical and irresponsible.” White said she feels that to better a society and a community, you have to educate them. She said this would ultimately lead to better decision making and, as a result, would reduce incarcerations in the long run and stimulate Arizona’s economy. Laura Hacker, a pre-physiology sophomore, also said she thinks the budget cuts are ridiculous. “There should be no shortage of funds when it comes to getting a good education,” Hacker said. “If anything, there should be more money being given to educational programs.”

ASUA supports DREAMers tuition BY Chastity Laskey The Daily Wildcat

At its last meeting of the year, the 2014-2015 ASUA Senate class unanimously approved a DREAM Act Resolution in support of allowing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivalsapproved youth to have increased access to higher education. The resolution offering resident tuition rates to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivalsapproved students was drafted by Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Issac Ortega and was discussed last week. ASUA Sen. Michael Finnegan said Ortega is out of town in Washington working with senators. In his absence, Finnegan said Ortega was telling him about how the Arizona Board of Regents will be voting on a DACA resolution to give students 150 percent residential tuition. Currently, the resolution drafted by Ortega says they support 100 percent of residential tuition, but Finnegan said, “He wanted us to change ours from saying the same price as residential students to a 150 percent.” Finnegan said they thought this would be the best way to increase cooperation with the board of regents. The ASUA Senate then made a formal amendment to change the wordage of the last paragraph of the resolution to now say,

“Therefore be it resolved that the Associated Students of the University of Arizona support[s] offering a 150 percent of residential tuition rates to ensure that DACA-approved youth have greater access and affordability to the University of Arizona.” In response to ASUA Sen. Joey Steigerwald’s question of what the chief arguments against offering reduced tuition rates to DACA students, ASUA Sen. Joe Zanoni said, “I can play devil’s advocate.” Zanoni said that although these are not his personal statements or opinions, the main counter arguments include that in-state pay more into the system than undocumented migrants do, such as taxes, and that technically, their parents or someone broke the law. The senate unanimously approved the DREAM Act Resolution and also killed its first bill of the year. Last week, the senate had discussed a Homeless Bill of Rights Resolution that was written and sent in by a community homeless activist. Many senators voiced their concern over the resolution and the strong ambiguous language used throughout the bill at the previous meeting, which may have affected the passage of the bill. Executive Vice President Jordan Allison said that, due to personal reasons, Finnegan, the original sponsor of the resolution, had

expressed his interest in rescinding his sponsorship for the bill. With no objections from any other senators, Finnegan removed his sponsorship for the bill; therefore, the bill was dead, Allison said. With Wednesday’s senate meeting being the final of the year, many senators took the time to say thank you to everyone in the room for the hard work they’d put in over the last year. “You guys have done a really good job this

year,” Administrative Vice President Daniel Douglas said. “You all have worked very, very hard, and that’s very clear in the work you’ve done. You’ve actually accomplished things; a lot of you have done platforms, and it’s been really cool to see.”

College athletes will have the opportunity to shine in the limelight and make their way up to the next level in the upcoming 2015 NFL Draft at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago. Many have worked their entire lives for this moment. Unfortunately, some might not even hear their names called between tonight and Saturday. In most of the latest NFL sevenround mock drafts, no Wildcats are predicted to be called. It might not come as a surprise since, “no team in the country has won more games over the past three seasons with fewer NFL [Draft] picks than the Arizona Wildcats,” according to The Arizona Republic. Three Wildcats heard their name called last season: Ka’Deem Carey,

Shaquille Richardson and Marquis Flowers. Flowers made appearances in 16 games for the Cincinnati Bengals as linebacker, while Carey played in 14 games for the Chicago Bears and rushed for 158 yards. Austin Hill is perhaps the most notable prospect amongst former Wildcats who may hear their name called in one of the seven draft rounds this year. The 6-foot-2 receiver from Corona, Calif., played four seasons for Arizona and suffered an ACL injury in 2013. Many analysts thought he might be a top-50 NFL prospect after his 2012 campaign. According to Dane Brugler from CBS Sports, Hill is a “solid-framed athlete with adequate height and length for the position.” But Brugler lists his weaknesses as “leaner than ideal, lacking preferred muscle and bulk for his frame.”

Analysts have consistently said they are afraid of Hill’s injury history and that he hasn’t fully recovered to his pre-injury form. NFL.com predicts Hill to be a round-seven selection or priorityfree agent and compared him to the San Diego Chargers’ wide receiver, Austin Pettis. Hill had a solid pro day back in March, finishing with a 4.57 40-yard dash and a 36.5-inch vertical jump. Plus, he has proven he can make big plays — remember the Hill Mary? Mickey Baucus, one of the most consistent members of Arizona’s offensive line and a four-year starter, is predicted by NFL.com to go undrafted. The 6-foot-8 Baucus was dependable throughout his Wildcat career, but NFL scouts don’t believe it will translate to the next level. According to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, Baucus “[doesn’t] appear to have the traits or talent to make it

All had pretty impressive senior seasons and could make a name for themselves overseas or in the Arena Football League if they are not drafted. No matter what happens this weekend, athletes should rest easy. Stars like Kurt Warner, Jeff Saturday, Wes Welker, Antonio Gates and Warren Moon all have one major theme in common: None of them were drafted. In fact, Arizona Cardinals’ hero Warner was stocking shelves at a grocery store and took his route to the NFL by starting in the AFL.

ooking back at last season’s team, there’s no doubt the new pieces added to Arizona baseball have made an impact on this year’s team. Start off by looking at TCU transfer Robby Medel and freshman J.J. Matijevic. These names were mentioned way before the season started, and now we have an idea why. If you had asked me, Arizona coach Andy Lopez didn’t look like an individual who gave second chances. He sure proved me wrong. Medel was moved from his spot as the Saturday starter after getting himself into a tough situation when the USC Trojans came to town. Sure, Medel had a bad outing, but let’s think about how much USC dominates and how many runs the Trojans scored that weekend. Maybe Medel needed one more shot as a starter to bounce back from that. Medel went to Lopez asking him for an opportunity to pitch after Arizona lost to California on Sunday. Medel got that second chance to prove he could get the job done in Tuesday’s game against ASU. He didn’t get the start, but after Cody Hamlin had a rough first inning, Medel took over and pitched 6.1 innings while allowing just one earned run. “It felt good to do my job,” Medel said after Tuesday’s game. “Coming out of the pen has taught me a lot. It helped me get my confidence back.”

Men’s Golf

UA finishes ninth at Pac-12 Championships BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat

Arizona men’s golf teed off Monday for the 2015 Pac-12 Championships in Pullman, Wash., hosted by Washington State. The Wildcats were looking to match the women’s team that won the Pac-12 Championships last week but ended up finishing in ninth place at 46-over-par. Arizona has had a quiet last couple of weeks, even with the regular season’s end and championship’s approach. The Wildcats haven’t had the same amount of success this season as women’s golf. The Wildcats were

looking to become the dark horse in the respected conference, but the task of finishing atop of the Pac12 Conference proved too much to accomplish. Like the women’s team, the men competed in arguably the best conference in golf, considering there are seven teams ranked in the top 25. Those teams include No. 4 ASU, No. 8 Oregon, No. 13 Stanford, No. 14 Washington, No. 15 UCLA, No. 16 USC and No. 25 California. The first day of the Pac-12 Championships was a forgettable day for the Wildcats, as Arizona finished the first two rounds in 10th place and shot 736 total strokes (+36) as a team.

Arizona used the young lineup of freshman George Cunningham at the one spot with senior Alex McMahon, redshirt freshman Jacob Kreuz, senior Brenden Redfern, freshman Max Donohue and freshman Peter Koo rounding out the rest of the lineup. This was the first time competing in the Pac-12 Championships for a handful of the Wildcat players. The Wildcats were led by Cunningham, who made his debut by posting scores of 71 (+1) and a 70 (E) in the first and second round. Cunningham would go on to share 14th place after Wednesday’s conclusion. Cunningham had a field day on the par-3 holes, shooting 1-under-

the worst way, so getting Ray here should fit nicely.

Lopez mentioned how going to the bullpen has been an issue all season because that’s when things go wrong, but maybe that’s because he’s bringing out the wrong guys. Yes, I’m saying he needs to bring Medel out more often. So it seems that not only the pitching but the offense was off as well during the last Pac-12 Conference series. But after Tuesday’s game, Arizona’s offense looks to be back, and there’s one player in particular who has been a big part of that: Matijevic. First base was up for grabs before the season started, and Matijevic took the spot. It’s now safe to say he’s busted out of his midseason slump. His bat got hot during the Cal series when he reached base during all three games. “I’m starting to get the hang of it and starting to see the ball well,” Matijevic said. “I’m really adapted to the game now.” The freshman hit his first career grand slam against the Sun Devils on Tuesday. Arizona has a three-game series coming up against Washington State in Pullman, Wash., this weekend, and the series will make or break the Wildcats’ season. The team still talks about making the postseason, and now, it’s actually time to prove how much they really want to play in June. Medel and Matijevic could be two of the key pieces to the success the team wants if given the right opportunities.

9 New York Giants select DT Leonard Williams (USC) This is quite a drop for the prospect whom many draft analysts list as the No. 1 guy available, but since I’m not mocking trades here, it’s not a surprise Williams falls. New York gets a steal at No. 9 in Williams. 10 St. Louis Rams select OT Brandon Scherff (Iowa) St. Louis needs offensive line help in the worst way at right tackle, and it just so happens the highest-rated tackle in Scherff is available at 10. 11 Minnesota Vikings select CB Trae Waynes (Michigan State) The Vikings just drafted Xavier Rhodes but could use another corner to line up on the other side. Waynes fits the mold of bigger CBs coveted in today’s NFL.

par over the course of 10 holes at Palouse Ridge Golf Club. Even though golf is an individual sport, the scores posted by other teammates play into the overall score. Cunningham would be the only Wildcat to finish in the top 20, and the only other Wildcats to come close to cracking the top 20 were Kreuz (+10) in 34th place and Redfern (+14) in 44th place. The Wildcats never picked up the pace on Tuesday or Wednesday while Cunningham picked up where he left off, shooting scores of 2-underpar and 3-under-par and finishing the tournament tied for third with an overall score of 276 (-4). Cunningham also made an eagle

on the 18th hole of the third round. Kreuz came in second place amongst Arizona players by shooting a 10-over-par, while Redfern was in third place amongst the Wildcats with 294 total strokes (+14). With Arizona falling in the bottom half of the Pac-12 Championships, postseason play for the Wildcats will be a question. However, head coach Jim Anderson will only lose McMahon and Redfern next season while returning a promising group of underclassmen in Cunningham, Koo, Donohue and Kreuz. — Follow Justin Spears @Twitterhandle

13 New Orleans Saints select DE Randall Gregory (Nebraska) Gregory failed a drug test at the combine and has since dropped down draft boards. However, his talent says top 10, and New Orleans could really use an infusion of talent on the defensive line. 14 Miami Dolphins select WR DeVante Parker (Louisville) With the Mike Wallace experiment failing horribly, there is a need in Miami for a receiver, and reports have Miami in love with Parker. They get their man here. 15 San Francisco 49ers select CB Byron Jones (Connecticut) This is a definite reach, but San Francisco simply has too big of a hole at corner. Jones should bring size and physicality to a 49er defense in need of secondary help. 16 Houston Texans select RB Todd Gurley (Georgia) Gurley is the undisputed top RB in the draft, but I was hesitant to put him here since the Texans have Arian Foster. Houston’s needs of linebacker and corner can’t really be addressed here, so they go safe with Gurley. — Follow Roberto Payne @HouseofPayne555

Where’s the ‘I’ in narcissism?

First Genetically Modified Human Embryo

Researchers at the Sun Yat-sen University in China have genetically modified a human embryo for the first time. Using a technique called “germline editing,” they attempted to modify a segment of DNA to prevent the development of a potentially fatal blood disorder, betathalassaemia. While this raises ethical questions, the experiments were conducted on a “nonviable” embryo — meaning the embryo is not suitable for live birth — fertilized by two sperm cells. Still, some fear the implications of tinkering with heritable genes because they don’t know how future generations will be affected. Others contend that this is an opportunity to eradicate diseases before even leaving the womb.

Artificial Photosynthesis Turns Carbon Dioxide into Fuel

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, along with the Department of Energy, created artificial photosynthesis using a genetically modified version of Escherichia coli bacteria and semiconducting nanowires. So far, this system can turn carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into small amounts of base components for an anti-malaria drug, a biodegradable plastic and biofuel. While the implications of this new technology are exciting, the yield of these byproducts is still low. However, it seems to be a first step in the right direction to combating climate change.

NASA Has Stumbled Across Faster-than-Light Travel

NASA’s development of the electromagnetic drive has led to observations of faster-than-light travel. While shining a laser beam through the resonance chamber of the EmDrive, researchers at NASA observed that some of the photons of light were in fact traveling faster than their constant speed. Faster-than-light travel is supposed to be unattainable due to the laws of general relativity laid out by Albert Einstein. However, the EmDrive seems to have created a “warp bubble” that keeps the EmDrive stationary while contracting the space ahead of it and expanding the space behind it. This may mean that sending satellites into orbit could be much cheaper and interstellar travel could be attainable.

Supernovas Discovered by Citizen Scientists

The Zooniverse platform, run through the University of Oxford, allows citizens to participate in sorting the astronomical amounts of data collected by the SkyMapper telescope. About 40,000 citizen scientists have sorted through about 2 million images and discovered five new supernovas. Those participating were asked to compare different images of the same patch of sky and note any changes. Supernovas die in a bright explosion that, while potentially not visible from Earth, can be detected by telescopes like the SkyMapper. Anyone can participate in this citizen science project by signing up online and using the Zooniverse platform. — Compiled by Mikayla Mace

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

AN UNDERGRADUATE student takes a selfie. Unlike the use of personal pronouns like “I,” research has shown a connection between men who frequently take selfies and narcissistic traits.

Contrary to popular opinion, UA researchers find that the use of personal pronouns like “I” is unrelated to narcissism BY CONNIE TRAN

The Daily Wildcat

Your boss, roommate or relative who always talks about “me, myself and I” might not be a narcissist. Research by UA psychology researchers Matthias Mehl and Angela Carey has shown that first person pronoun use is unrelated to narcissism. Mehl, an associate professor of psychology, and Carey, a psychology graduate student, have proven through a study with over 4,000 subjects that the use of first person pronouns, labeled I-talk, is not related to narcissism. Narcissism is a personality disorder where individuals have an inflated view of themselves and are prone to grandiose behaviors. Previously, researchers and laypeople intuitively believed that I-talk and narcissism were related. This belief was supported by a study published by Robert Raskin and Robert Shaw in 1988 that stated there was a correlation between I-talk and narcissism. However, the sample size of Raskin and Shaw’s study

was merely 48 compared to Carey’s also fun, process,” Mehl said. sample size of over 4,000 participants. To collect that much data, the study “On a methodological level, our required collaboration not only across study stands out in that we made universities but also oceans.

[participants] to describe themselves to a group,” Carey said. “Some of them required the participant to be alone and to write in a stream of consciousness manner, which is, ‘Just write anything that comes to your mind.’ So they really did vary a lot, which is why we thought it was a great opportunity to break them apart into context with the idea that narcissists, perhaps, maybe they’ll use I-talk maybe more in a private setting than a public setting or a private versus a public or with others versus alone.” The study has wide implications for the future of research on narcissism. “I-talk seems to be so simple, and it’s intuitive as a marker for narcissism,” Carey said. “And now that that’s not there, the question that everyone seems to be asking is, ‘Well, if it’s not I-talk, what is it? Is there something else in language?’ So we’re currently conducting some follow up analyses and we’ll hopefully get the answers to our questions.”

Meme inspires scientific redo by undergraduates BY JULIE HUYNH

The Daily Wildcat

UA students in an evidence-based medicine class are trying to replicate the experimental results their peers from a previous semester found, where having a woman on a man’s lap while he bench pressed allowed him to do more repetitions. The inspiration behind the original experimental project was a circulating Internet meme that claimed women helped increase testosterone levels in men, which led to the increased repetitions. However, there was no data to back up the claim. The goal of the former students was to test the validity of the meme, and they found positive results; the goal of the current class is to follow up and test the validity of those results. “If you can’t reproduce results, you can’t tell if they are true or not,” said Samantha DiBaise, a senior studying molecular and cellular biology, physiology and Spanish, and the leader of the project. “You can’t say anything about it.” Reproducibility is a major issue in science today, said Joanna Masel, an associate professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary COURTESY OF SHAINA HASAN biology and instructor of the course. For example, Masel cited the work of John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, who A PARTICIPANT bench presses while Maggie Phillips, a student in the evidence-based took a set of research studies and looked to see whether they had been medicine course, sits on his lap. Students in the course are trying to reproduce data collected reproduced and what happened if they had been. What was found was by their peers in previous semesters that claimed men could bench press more with a woman a lot of the studies could not hold up — the results of the study could sitting on their laps. not be reproduced or had smaller effect sizes than what was originally However, reproducibility is not a new concept; it has always been claimed. “The academic culture of science has created an incentive to be the there, Masel said. She noted that the difference now is scientists recognize to what extent they haven’t been first one to publish something which convinces doing enough of it. people wrongly that reproducing an effect is The scientific community has been trying not a valuable pursuit,” said Parris Humphrey, to remedy this. For example, there are an a graduate student studying ecology and increasing number of journals, such as PLOS evolutionary biology and teaching assistant for ONE, where scientists can publish anything the course. that is methodologically sound. In the past, it was difficult for researchers “It doesn’t have to meet some editor’s to get published in a good journal if they only concept of what is or isn’t interesting,” reproduced a study, Masel said. Masel said. “If you got the same thing a second time, There has also always been some awareness people say they already knew it, and if you didn’t of it in medicine. For a drug to get approved get it, that doesn’t help either,” Masel said. —Parris Humphrey, a graduate by the Food and Drug Administration, there But one study that achieved statistical needs to be results from two clinical trials to student studying ecology and significance and found an important result is support it, Masel said. evolutionary biology not enough for that result to be true.
