Gov. Ducey appoints new student regent BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
A student from the UA will fill new shoes this week and be inducted into office as the next student regent. Political science sophomore Vianney Careaga will be the next voice of Arizona students across the state as the new student regent. Careaga, chosen by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey last week, will serve on the Arizona Board of Regents. The director of civic engagement for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona will go through his confirmation process Wednesday, according to Michael Finnegan, chair of the Student Regent Selection Committee and ASUA 20162017 president-elect. The governor picks a new student regent every year on a rotating basis between the UA, Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University. Student regents serve as the voice of students for the board, where many issues and decisions that affect Arizona’s three public universities are made. Student regents serve twoyear terms. Those currently on the board are Mark Naufel for ASU and Jared Gorshe for NAU. Naufel currently has the voting privileges for the board

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will hold a special election to determine who will fill the 11 empty senate seats and the executive vice president position for the next academic school year. Voting will begin Friday at 8 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. for the special election. The election was prompted by a lack of senate candidates and the disqualification of an executive vice presidential candidate in the general election held last month. ASUA Sen. Trey Cox , now running as a special election
candidate for executive vice president, was disqualified by Elections Commissioner Diego Alvarez for illegal campaign practices and the accusation of derogatory and harassing speech. The ASUA Elections Comission, however, overturned the disqualification on the basis of lack of evidence to substantiate one of the complaints. Only three infractions or strikes against the ASUA Elections Code are required for a candidate’s disqualification. Cox received five infractions in the last election cycle, which led to his disqualifcation. The ASUA Supreme Court reinstated the once-overturned disqualification of the executive

vice presidential candidate, calling for the special election. Current ASUA President Manny Felix submitted an advisory opinion to the supreme court, asking for advice about whether a candidate can run in the special election if they were disqualified in the general election, and if the special election was a completely new election or a continuation of the general election. Alvarez said people assumed Cox was already allowed to run again, even before the supreme court announced its decision. Alvarez emphasized he is not the one who made the ruling and that he’s not allowed to talk to the supreme court justices due to a conflict of interest.
For this election, Alvarez said he hopes everyone knows where their facts are coming from and are able to monitor elections from a neutral standpoint. He added the supreme court is separate from ASUA and is full of students from the James E. Rogers College of Law, who are called upon when the need arises. The three special election executive vice presidential candidates are Cox, Stefano Saltalamacchia and Jack Emery. Saltalamacchia said that without his appeal and his going to the supreme court to fight for justice, there wouldn’t

Arizona voter problems finally explained Two Arizona election officials explain what happened after so many voters were turned away for party affiliation during the presidential preference election last month BY Amanda Oien
The Daily Wildcat
While all eyes were on the Grand Canyon State for the presidential preference election on March 22, Maricopa County voters experienced long lines and Pima County voters experienced confusing, incorrect party affiliations on their voter registrations. Voters registered with parties that do not have a participating political party, for example, independents, may not vote in the Arizona Presidential Preference Election. Voters who showed up to their polling locations expecting to vote for their party’s nominees were told they were not able to vote because their party affiliations stated independent or party not designated. These voters insisted they were long-time Republicans or Democrats. They were issued provisional ballots. A provisional ballot is a “safe guard” way of voting, according to Pima County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez. If a problem arises at the polling location that prevents someone from not voting, the voter is allowed to vote by provisional ballot, which will be sent to the Pima County Recorder’s Office to be vetted and to determine whether the voter is permitted to vote and whether the vote will count. Rodriguez said no voter fraud occurred in this year’s elections. “The vast majority of our provisional ballots were issued because voters were sent an early ballot, didn’t vote [with] it, so they showed up to the polling location,” Rodriguez said. According to the Pima County Recorder’s Office’s press release, 1,856 Pima County

voters who went to polls on Election Day were not registered with one of the three political parties participating in the election, which is required by Arizona state law to be eligible to vote in the presidential preference election. Rodriguez said she thinks most people don’t know when they go to the Motor Vehicle Division and update their licenses, they’re also filling out voter registration on the same form. “Unknowingly to them, when they go to a motor vehicle office, the form that they fill out at motor vehicle is also acting as a voter registration form,” Rodriguez said. “If they mark ‘Yes, I want to register to vote,’ and they leave the party affiliation blank, the clerk at MVD will process it as blank.” Rodriguez said once the Pima County Recorder’s Office receives the voter registration form with a blank party affiliation, they
categorize the voter as “party not designated.” “We understand that when the recorders found out about this issue, that when a citizen goes into a motor vehicle office, they’re thinking about a driver’s license issue, not a voter registration issue,” Rodriguez said. Brad Nelson, director of the Pima County Elections Department, said there were 124 physical polling stations on Election Day, 10 of which he stopped into to ensure things were going smoothly. “I spent most of my afternoon around some of the polling places near the [UA] campus and during that time I found some individuals standing in line questioning their party affiliation, saying they thought they had registered to vote as a member of one of the major political parties,” Nelson said. He encouraged those voters who were sure there was a mistake to cast a provisional ballot.
While speaking with the voters, Nelson concluded the majority of voters who had a mistake in their party affiliations had recently been to the MVD to renew a license or update an address. Kindall Gray, a UA adjunct English professor, said she was unable to vote when she went to her designated polling location. “I gave them my name and ID, like usual, and they had me on the list, but told me that I wasn’t registered with a party,” Gray said. Gray said she has always been a life-long registered Democrat. She said the poll worker presumably made a phone call to the Pima County Recorder’s Office and confirmed her as being “party not designated.” “She didn’t offer me a provisional ballot or anything,” Gray said. “She just said I couldn’t vote at all.” Gray said she was disappointed that she was unable to vote in such an important election year. Gray said she renewed her driver’s license in February 2015 and was not aware that, even though she is already registered to vote with a party, she had to mark it again on the form. Working together with the secretary of state to fix the confusion of filling out party affiliations when at the MVD is something Rodriguez said needs to be done. “This election is always extremely confusing and it sends a monkey wrench into our system because of the laws being different on who can vote and who cannot,” Rodriguez said. — Follow Amanda Oien @amanda_oien

“I don’t really know. I feel like there’s a lot of stuff that’s already done for that. I think it would be good if there was some sort of specialist within the university that could answer people’s questions and stuff about it.” — Hayden Nestande, an undeclared freshman
“I would say with sexual assault awareness, ... more available information on how to handle a sexual assault situation, because a lot of people just don’t know where to go or who to talk to about that.” — Victoria Le, an engineering management sophomore
“I would say for programs, just having resources available for kids to go to who don’t feel comfortable ... talking about an experience they had or where their friends were involved in sexual harassment.” — Rachel Bear, a neuroscience freshman
“Making mandatory meetings with the freshmen when they are coming to the UA and doing things on the [UA Mall] and maybe a lot more on social media, just because of how in tune [we] are to social media.” — Ryan Ring, a pre-business freshman

be a special election. “I owe it to myself and I owe it to the students,” Saltalamacchia said. He said he thinks it is unfair for Cox to run again, since the elections commissioner and supreme court found Cox guilty. “Like I’ve said earlier, everything that I was accused of was false,” Cox said. “I already won once and I feel like I won by such a big majority that I would almost be letting the student body down if I didn’t run again, because clearly I was the original choice. At the same [time], I really want it.” Cox said it made sense to him that he is allowed to run again because he thinks the elections code is considerably vague. “I’m going to be running the cleanest election that I’ve ever ran and at the same time, I’m hoping my opponents do the same,” Cox said. “I’m anticipating that I will probably be attacked with who knows what, but I’m hoping that is not the case.” Saltalamacchia, on the other hand, is also looking forward to a fair race for the executive vice presidential seat. “I want the election to be clean, but I think that this election has been drawn out long enough,” Saltalamacchia said. “I think what is most important is that we all, as a student body, do what is right and stand behind one candidate.” Saltalamacchia said he originally ran for executive vice president because he thinks there is not enough cultural awareness or diversity inclusion spanning across the spectrum of race, sexual orientation or identity in ASUA. “When you look at ASUA, you see a big group of students, but you don’t see a diverse group of students,” Saltalamacchia said. Cox said the executive vice president’s main responsibility is to clubs on campus and, while they do chair the senate, he’s really doing it for the clubs. “All of the projects I have worked on this semester as a senator have been for the clubs and it will help me implement them next year and make sure that they’re sustainable,” Cox said. “Most of my platforms revolve around club marketing, club funding and club web services, and those are all things that I’ve almost accomplished as a senator this year. … I want to make sure that every club is able to utilize them next year if I’m [executive vice president].” The third executive vice presidential candidate, Emery, who currently serves as ASUA treasurer, declined to comment.

The UA College of Medicine – Tucson on Sunday, April 3. The college received 6,458 applications during its last cycle, with a total of 115 students being chosen for the Class of 2020.
How to apply for UA med school BY Akshay Syal
The Daily Wildcat
The Association of American Medical Colleges reported that over 50,000 people submitted an application to a U.S. medical school last year to fulfill their dreams of becoming physicians. Of these applicants, approximately 20,000 were admitted to a medical school in fall 2015. The UA College of Medicine – Tucson received a whopping 6,458 applications for its Class of 2020. Only 520 students (8 percent of applicants) received an interview for a final class size of 115 students (less than 2 percent) enrolling fall 2016. With the applicant pool continuing to grow each year, students are finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish themselves from other applicants. To gain insight on how students can successfully navigate the admissions process and stand out as applicants, the Daily Wildcat sat down with Cassandra Votruba, program coordinator for the UA College of Medicine – Tucson and doctoral candidate in the public health and pharmacy departments. Daily Wildcat: What are some of the biggest mistakes that applicants make every year? Vortuba: One of the biggest mistakes that applicants can make is a lack of clinical exposure, as well as failure to demonstrate that exposure if they do have it. When evaluating clinical experience, we take into consideration clinical volunteering as well as shadowing hours. It can’t be 20 or 30 hours; it needs to be much larger than
that. We want to see you have that exposure so you know what you are getting yourself in to. Students will also apply when they don’t meet the minimum GPA and MCAT published on our website. It’s simple: If you don’t meet the requirements, don’t apply. You’re wasting your money. What extracurricular activities, besides clinical exposure, can students get involved in to distinguish themselves as applicants? Students should seek to involve themselves in leadership experiences that demonstrate they are willing to serve as a leader. Doctors are leaders. They are the ones who take initiative in patient treatment and we want students to demonstrate they are capable of doing so. We also like to see passion that doesn’t necessarily relate back to medicine. We want to see what unique perspective you can bring to your cohort in school. For example, if you love dogs, volunteer at an animal shelter. Not all of your experiences should be in the medical realm. One thing that we also see a lot is really strong applicants who wait to submit their primary applications until the deadline. We are a rolling admissions school, so students are strongly encouraged to apply early, as they then have the potential to be looked at multiple times in the process. Can you describe the process for getting an interview here at UA? You first submit your primary application, which is essentially reviewed to see if you meet the MCAT and GPA minimum. If you do, you receive a secondary application which, once
submitted, will be assigned a numerical score by two different secondary screeners. That number for your secondary plays a big part in getting an interview, so you need to have a really strong secondary application. We often see applicants cut and paste generic answers to our questions that don’t fully answer our questions. That being said, we use a complex algorithm that takes into consideration secondary applications and certain aspects of the primary application for interview invites. Are reapplicants looked upon with a blank slate or are their old applications evaluated as well? We look at reapplicants with a fresh set of eyes. When we pull up their application, we only see the application for the current cycle. Occasionally, however, the admission committee might look at old applications for any red flags and what you have done to address that. Our biggest concern for reapplicants is we want to see what you have done in your time off. On our secondary application, we have the question, ‘Are you a reapplicant and, if so, what have you done in the past year?’ This question is huge because we want to see what you have done. Were you sitting at home on your couch? Or were you growing and expanding your application with the assumption you may not get accepted? My suggestion for all reapplicants is to also rewrite your personal statement. You should hopefully have a whole new year of experiences and we want you to write about them. — Follow Akshay Syal @AkshaySyal

and will be graduating in the upcoming year. The voting privileges will go to Gorshe next year and to Careaga the following year. Finnegan said they’re all excited that one of the three candidates the committee sent in was chosen. “The fact that [Gov.] Doug Ducey decided to cooperate with students is a big step in the right direction,” Finnegan said. “The most important thing is the students got a say in their student regent, as opposed to previous years.” Finnegan said Careaga will appeal to the Education Committee on Wednesday. The committee will then appoint Ducey’s appointment and the Arizona Senate will also need to confirm the appointment. Finnegan said the committee submitted its paperwork before Thanksgiving, about a month ahead of schedule, and was hoping to get a quick turnover, which didn’t happen. “We just wanted to make sure that the governor’s office was looking really closely into the matter and making sure he reviewed all the candidates,” Finnegan said. “It does take some time and we know he is busy.” Daniel Ruiz, director of Media Affairs at the Office of Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, said there’s a lot that goes into appointing someone to a position and they take every appointment seriously. “That means we want to interview all the qualified candidates and vet thoroughly to make sure we’re selecting the most qualified applicant,” Ruiz said. Finnegan said that in the past, the leaders of the College Republicans or the Young Democrats have been chosen based on party affiliations, but that the committee looks at candidates in a bipartisan way. “I do hope that in the future, it continues to go on, this tradition of the governor picking candidates that were picked by the students,” Finnegan said. “Instead of picking candidates that appeal to that governor’s party.” — Follow Chastity Laskey @ChastityLaskey

Main Gate Square shopping options are just too pricey BY Rhiannon Bauer The Daily Wildcat
M
ain Gate Square is a popular destination for students, Tucsonans and tourists alike, with restaurants, cafes, accessories, a pharmacy, a convenience store and pretty much anything else you could need. University Boulevard is constantly packed with college kids doing homework and hanging out. It’s a little slice of Tucson and its proximity to campus essentially renders the street Wildcat territory. It’s convenient and time-efficient for students to get some shopping done during their free time on campus and the stores along University Boulevard are especially useful for students who live on or around campus. Why commute miles off campus to shop when there are stores just a hop, skip and a jump away from home? Well, here’s a compelling reason: Those stores are complete rip-offs. University Boulevard is riddled with high-end chains like Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, pricey boutiques where you pay more for the brand name than the clothes themselves. It’s common knowledge that these designer stores don’t sell inexpensive clothing. At the time of writing, the Women’s Best Sellers category on the American Apparel website lists jeans that range from $78-$94. The

suspects or advocated publishing the names of every individual under surveillance. Instead, they argued that the sheer mass of data collection unconstitutionally done by the government was too extensive and that more data collection was not addressing the root causes of insecurity. Snowden said the data collected by the NSA did not dramatically drop the number of terrorist attacks, although he did note times where sexually explicit photos from private citizens were intercepted and passed around the NSA, times where the data was used for the monitoring of human rights organizations like Amnesty International and instances when it monitored the pornography watching habits of non-violent, radical thinkers. When O’Connor brought up the recent attacks in San Bernardino, California, and Brussels, the panelists suggested increased surveillance is not the answer to preventing future attacks. Greenwald pointed out that in all of the hubbub following the Brussels attacks, he had not seen a single TV reporter ask why the attacks happened. Not one person asked why people were willing to trade their lives to destroy Americans. There are other democratic, non-Muslim countries that are not the focus of terrorist attacks. Greenwald said the explanation lies in a 2004 report issued by the Defense Science Board Task Force, which noted the root cause of terrorism is not a loathing of America’s democracy or religious preferences. Rather, it is based on the perception of the U.S. in the Arab world, which is overwhelmingly negative because of the U.S. government’s past actions: keeping tyrannical regimes in power, promoting one-sided support for Israel and occupying the Middle East. This public attitude was cited as one of the most important “underlying sources of threats to America’s national security.” Both Greenwald and Chomsky argued that if we want to stop terrorism, the answer is not to broaden surveillance programs, but rather to lessen the desire for terrorism and address the root causes of what drives people to violence. Judging by the timing of audience applause and the standing ovation for Snowden, the crowd in Centennial Hall was largely pro-privacy. Yet they all allowed their private bags to be searched on the way in to the talk without a fuss. There is clearly a trade off between security and individualism: Some privacy must be sacrificed to allow the U.S. government to keep Americans safe. That said, citizens should have a say in how much privacy they are willing to trade for security. If citizens are concerned about stopping terrorism, the debate must go beyond privacy. — Follow Julianna Renzi @jollyrenzi

Deaf studies students work closely with the community BY VICKY PERIERA The Daily Wildcat
The UA offers a variety of different language and culture programs, from German to Spanish and everything in between, including the special education and rehabilitation major. This major offers a variety of different tracks for students within the major to pursue. One of these is a concentration in deaf studies. This College of Education program gives students the skills needed to work with people who are deaf and partially deaf in their post-graduation careers and pursuits. Students come from all walks of life to pursue deaf studies and often find their passion for the subject through taking an American Sign Language course or having a friend or family member who is deaf or partially deaf. “I picked deaf studies because it’s unique and something that called to me when I was first introduced to the deaf community,” said Breyden Main, a sophomore studying special education and rehabilitation with a concentration in deaf studies. “I took ASL in high school and … at one of my track meets the Arizona State Schools
for the Deaf and Blind was there and I decided I wanted to sign with them.” Main is pursuing a degree with an emphasis in educational interpreting, an emphasis within the deaf studies concentration. Educational interpreting is the most popular topic for students to pursue, according to Cindy Volk, an associate professor of practice in the department of Disability and Psychoeducational Studies. While all students in the deaf studies program must take four semesters of ASL and become proficient in the language, those with an educational interpreting emphasis continue to work on their abilities to communicate through sign in intensive ASL classes and interpreting courses. Interpreting emphasis students are required to do a practicum in a classroom with deaf or partially deaf children over the course of three semesters to develop their skills in real-world settings. Students observe the workings of a typical classroom with a deaf student and interpreter and discuss how the process works and how learning and interpretation changes depending on
the student for their first practicum course. The second semester of practicum pairs up interpreting students and sends them to classrooms without deaf or partially deaf students so they can practice educational interpretation with each other without the pressure of interpreting for a person who is deaf. In their third semester, students are placed in classrooms alone as interpreters for students who are deaf and provide translations the students need to understand their courses. This experience gives graduates an opportunity to pursue careers in interpreting, whether it be in a classroom, at events or in other situations and fields. “There’s such a need for interpreters around the U.S.,” Volk said. “Most kids are mainstreamed into public schools—over 90 percent of them are—so all the deaf kids in the public schools need an interpreter.” Both of Volk’s parents are deaf, so she grew up fluent in both English and ASL, and has always been close with the deaf community. The UA program is closely connected with the deaf community
in and around Tucson as well. Besides the practicum courses, all of the program’s students are matched up with a deaf mentor in the community, which helps them with their ASL proficiency and knowledge of deaf culture. “Everybody in the deaf community is really helpful,” said Rebecca Reiter, a sophomore studying special education and rehabilitation with a concentration in deaf studies. “It can be really difficult when learning a new language to follow a conversation in that language and use it with those people, but they’re all really helpful and patient.” Reiter is pursuing an emphasis in educational interpreting and hopes to interpret in classrooms for deaf children after she graduates. Students in the major are not only close with the deaf community, but with each other as well. “I enjoy being part of a program that is composed of individuals that truly care not only about their work but also about the community as a whole,” Main said. — Follow Vicky Periera @vguardie917

Weezer’s ‘White Andrew Bird is Album’is a timely back, seriously ode to summer Loma Vista
BY Alec Kuehnle The Daily Wildcat
A
merican rock band Weezer has held a place on music lovers’ lists of favorite bands for over 20 years. Despite experiencing ups and downs over the years, the band’s pleasant, poprock melodies such as “Island In The Sun” and “My Name is Jonas” have brought success and critical acclaim. The band released its 10th studio album Friday, a self-titled album referred to as The White Album, which offers more of the familiar sound fans have come to love. This record marks Weezer’s fourth self-titled album, following The Blue Album, The Green Album and The Red Album. The band may need to work on picking better album names, but luckily it saves that creative energy and puts it back into the music. Weezer created its new album as a concept album. It revolves around an old-fashioned theme that college students can relate to: summertime fun. This concept translates well, as you can easily imagine jamming out to these songs while relaxing on the beach. Album opener, “California Kids,” has a pleasant feel that will inspire a longing for California during the summer. The catchy guitar work and strong vocals, courtesy of frontman Rivers Cuomo, work well here, with a contrasting sense of hopeless optimism on display. The album continues with songs such as “Wind In Our Sail,” where Cuomo mentions Charles Darwin sailing on the HMS Beagle, and “Thank God For Girls,” a song about a girl and a cannoli.
Let’s not forget “Do You Wanna Get High?” a tune with self-explanatory content. Throughout the song, Cuomo simply asks the question posed by this track’s title. “L.A. Girlz” and “Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori” come off as the album’s strongest songs. “L.A. Girlz” has an anthem-like feel to it that will make you want to get up, take out your lighter and slowly sway to the music. “Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori” has a catchy chorus that will remain in your head long after the album is finished playing. The last song on the album, “Endless Bummer,” veers off into a change of tone. All the other tracks are fun and upbeat, while the ending song takes on a slower, less optimistic point of view. Cuomo, or at least the narrator for whom he sings, questions summer before finally articulating that he just wants it to end. This acoustic track ends the album on a high, albeit somber, note. Listening to The White Album at only ten songswill not take up too much of your time, but its primarily fun and upbeat sound makes it an enjoyable listen. Cuomo and the rest of Weezer have created another high-quality album, on par with some of their stronger earlier work. The album lacks a wow factor. The summertime theme works, but no particular song grabs the listener’s attention. This album may be forgotten after the hype of summer ends. Nevertheless, this release could not have come at a better time with the summer fast approaching. Hopefully it will become a summertime favorite; a perfect soundtrack for chilling by the pool or relaxing on the beach.

t’s been more than two years since Andrew Bird last blessed the world with his cryptic, detailed song writing. His new album, Are You Serious, explains why in a nihilistic retelling of his recent relationship struggles. Bird’s storytelling is slightly less cryptic this time around. In an interview with NPR, he talked about having to encode his emotions in analogies in an attempt to preserve his romantic relationships. “You’re sitting on the couch and you know it’s not going to last, you might … have to … encrypt … things,” Bird said. He said he no longer had to do that with Are You Serious. The album opens strong with the blues and garage-rock-flavored instrumentals of “Capsized.” Within the first minute, Bird has jumped into his depression-riddled relationship history. He describes his disenchantment with his partners and cyclical habits, in which he always manages to find unhappiness in short-lived relationships. The album continues to describe his rocky romantic life through intricate vocals and uplifting melodies saturated by heavy effects. It moves forward in waves of folk and garage rock with Bird’s iconic, Theremin-like whistle playing gently throughout. Bird’s songs tend to focus more on
the abstract and the atmosphere. In his interview with NPR, he described the process of creating an atmosphere and writing for it, rather than focusing on music theory or voice leadings. This may be why the album more closely resembles a catalog of individual landscapes rather than a collection of stories. Each song seems to gently guide its listener into its own uniquely synthetic world, characterized by blends of rock n’ roll, the Old West and folk. Perhaps the attention-grabbing quality of these worlds is “Left Handed Kisses,” a duet with singer Fiona Apple. The song highlights Bird’s finding love in spite of his nihilism through a dialogue with Apple. While Bird sings of his wishy-washy nature and reluctance toward falling in love. Apple sings, almost pleadingly, as the song ends “If you hesitate, you’ll hear the click of the receiver.” Bird’s last song, “Bellevue,” breaks through the darkness with a happy acoustic violin melody, typical of his less bitter years. He sings about finally reaching the shore and overcoming his nihilism. He ends the album with “I think I found someone.” It’s hard to not find yourself content in pessimism while listening to Are You Serious. The happy instrumental melodies and harmonies will lift your spirit only to drop it in apathy. The end result, however, is contentment.

Local band leader talks history, future of band BY KINDCAID RABB The Daily Wildcat
The hazy, plush red booths, low, leather chairs and luminescent yellows of Fourth Avenue’s Flycatcher bar welcomed sweetly passionate tones of piano, drums, strings and the voice of Steff and the Articles on March 25. Known for sweeping melodies, the band has masterfully combined jazz, blues and piano-pop into a lovely and unique sound. One Daily Wildcat reporter had the chance to talk to lead singer, pianist and founder of the group, Steff Koeppen, after the show to talk about what shaped the band and how it plans to continue making music in Tucson. Daily Wildcat: What got you into music? Koeppen: When I was a little girl, my dad was a singer-songwriter. I took up the violin when I was 7 and hated it, but then I took up piano at 8 or 9, realized I liked singing and put them together at some point. Once I started learning pop songs that I could sing and play together, it made me want to start writing some of my own. You’re a graduate of the UA, right? What did you get a degree in? I was a communications major with minors in music and Spanish.
How did Steff and the Articles come together? In 2009, I felt like I [wanted] to start a project more based on my personal songwriting. Tom [Beech] and I went to high school together. Chris [Pierce] found me on Myspace. Alex [Tuggel] went to a nearby high school and we had mutual friends, and Jess [Muiseke] joined really recently when Alex went out of town for a year.
How would you describe the genre of Steff and the Articles? That’s a hard question, but we’ve always described ourselves as progressive piano pop. It’s jazzy and indie in all the right ways. Who are some of your influences? I’m influenced by a lot of indie-pop bands like Ben Folds [Five], Rufus Wainwright, Eisley, Feist and also more vintage styles of jazz and blues like Etta James. The rest of the band has a lot of classical background and a great jazz background. Do you have any favorite venues? We mostly play Club Congress [sic] and The Flycatcher, and if we can play at The Rialto [Theatre], we love having the opportunity to put that at the top of this list. What is the creative environment of Steff and the Articles like? We rehearse at Chris’ house off Fourth

[Avenue] and squish into his living room. I usually come with the skeleton of a song and the boys help me flesh that out. More recently, I’ve been trying to jam on some more individual ideas to see what we can come up with. The girls are really good about thinking up their own additions to the skeleton that we’ve put together.
I saw that you sang with Decker, who was one of the bands who opened for you. Do you do a lot of collaborations outside Steff and the Articles? Yeah, I do a lot of vocal collaborations. Over the past year I’ve been in the studio a lot, collaborating with other artists from around Arizona. I was featured on Copeland’s most recent record and I also have done a lot work as a backup singer. What do you think of the original music scene in Arizona? I get to experience the Phoenix scene and the Tucson scene equally. Phoenix has a great pop scene, but Tucson’s more geared toward rock and Latin. It’s a unique situation for us as a pop band putting together successful bills here. There’s a lot of musical diversity in the bands in Phoenix, but that’s just because there’s a lot more people and venues there. That being said, there’s been a recent wave of electronic pop coming through Tucson.
Where do you see Steff and the Articles in the next couple years? We’re working on a record, we’re trying to find a more efficient way of touring and we’re trying to play more festivals. Playing more and having new music to release is the basic idea for what we want to do. — Follow Kincaid Rabb @Kincaid_rabb

The dogs of UA are out and about BY Taylor Brestel The Daily Wildcat
The UA seems like the perfect place for our four-legged friends to play and run around, even though dogs aren’t allowed in the dorms. The Mall has plenty of grass, an infinite number of things to sniff and a lot of people eager to pet dogs. We found Marge, an American Black Labrador Retriever, waiting patiently with Nikki Chapman, an animal science senior in the Student Union Memorial Center near the fountain. Marge is 3 years old and is no ordinary dog. “She’s trained to be a guide dog for the blind,” Chapman said. “But she didn’t pass her certification test because she went potty when she wasn’t supposed to.” Marge knows commands like “sit,” “lay down” and “stay,” and she’s rewarded with a treat every time she does something right. Friday was a special day for Marge: She participated in a study for one of Chapman’s classes. The study will determine which dog breeds people are more likely to stop and pet. Chapman taped signs on the table where she sat, letting people know Marge was friendly. “She’s the second breed. The first was a
pit bull,” Chapman said. “We were thinking the black lab was going to win, but 80 people stopped in an hour to pet the pit bull. She’s got some competition.” Chapman wasn’t Marge’s owner, but she knew a lot about the lab, saying how friendly and excited Marge got about everything. “She loves everything on the earth,” Chapman said. “Dogs, cats, kids, adults, old people, inanimate objects, she loves it all.” Louie, a 9-year-old cockapoo—(cocker spaniel and poodle mix)—took a walk with his owner Deborah Kinne on University Boulevard Friday morning. They both enjoyed their Starbucks—Kinne had a drink for herself and Louie had a cup of ice water. Unfortunately, both Kinne and Louie just lost someone close to them. Kinne’s other dog, Annabelle, died recently. “His friend just died last week, so he’s sad,” Kinne said. “He lays around the house in random places, he’s never done that before.” Kinne lives near campus and takes Louie on walks around the area often, though she said the walks get shorter the older they get. She said he likes to walk and bark at people passing by. Louie also enjoys the holiday season. “He loves Christmas,” Kinne said. “He has Christmas sweaters and little bells to wear
around his neck.” But Louie’s best quality, according to his owner, is his loyalty. Kinne said whenever she goes out to the yard, no matter how hot it gets outside, Louie joins her. He likes to lie in the shade and doesn’t care about getting dirty. “He gets dirty from the bottom up,” Kinne said. — Follow Taylor Brestel @Taylorbrestel

Laxcats find new mentality on field Arizona lacrosse, currently ranked No. 7 in the nation, has seen success this season under head coach Derek Pedrick BY IMANI SMITH
The Daily Wildcat
You can find the Arizona men’s lacrosse team out on the field on a Tuesday night running drills, watching film and preparing for its next game. The Laxcats, led by head coach Derek Pedrick, have performed well this season, coming in at No. 7 in the country on the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association polls this week. “The guys have been working hard and have really good attitudes,” Pedrick said. “The culture is continuing to change.” The culture Pedrick mentioned is something he wanted to change when he came to Arizona back in 2013. He wanted to make sure his athletes remained serious, focused and competitive, while also having fun throughout the process. Senior goalkeeper Tanner Knego couldn’t agree more with his head coach.
“The mentality change, you “Defense is strong; there aren’t can tell right away ... is just that a lot of goals given up,” Pedrick we’re here to win games.” Knego said. “Tanner is a first-team said. “I think when it’s best All-American and returning shown this year is when everyone three-year starter.

The program has a long history in Tucson, dating back to the 1960s. The Laxcats were only the second sanctioned collegiate program in the western U.S., following suit after the Air Force Academy, according to the Laxcats website. As the season nears its end, the team is focused on continuing to get wins against their next two opponents, Grand Canyon University and ASU. “As cliche as it sounds, the little things are going to get us in positions to take care of these games,” Pedrick said. “Every team we play is a top-ranked team, so understanding the right mentality is important.” — Follow Imani Smith @DailyWildcat

The big spectacle of college recruiting BY Matt Wall
The Daily Wildcat
I
had a tough decision choosing between four prestigious universities as an 18-year-old high school senior. I remember sitting at the dinner table with my mother, father and brother, going over the pros and cons of each school. It was overwhelming, to say the least. Just three years removed from my decision, I remember the process like it was yesterday, but I did not have hundreds of thousands of people awaiting my decision, watching my every move like a hawk. The spectacle of college basketball recruiting has been blown completely out of proportion. April Fools’ Day was an excellent example of why. Five-star recruit Terrance Ferguson tweeted in the afternoon he would be making his college decision via video at 6 p.m. In the meantime, Ferguson retweeted every mention of his name. When the clock hit 6 p.m., Ferguson posted a video along with the caption, “April Fools.” The internet went ballistic. All the tweets have since been removed from Twitter. But that’s not the problem at hand. Ferguson was just trying to have a little fun. Instead, he received backlash and hateful comments for hours. Arizona recruit Kobi Simmons supported Ferguson and played along with an April Fools’ joke of his own: a fake commitment to the University of North Carolina. Simmons himself has been at the hand of much of the recruiting drama as of late, especially with the top recruit in Josh Jackson. Simmons posted a video on Twitter alongside Jackson during the McDonalds All-American game in which Jackson says, “UA Wildcats, you already know.” The game of recruiting has become absurd. Media outlets have analysts who specifically focus on recruiting and spend every waking moment following prospects on Twitter and Instagram. While it’s not necessarily a new concept, it’s just too overwhelming for recruits. Jackson is the perfect example. For the past few months, analysts have predicted the front runner over and over again, flip flopping pretty much every day. In fact, it seems like everybody is a recruiting analyst these days. This may be the result of Twitter, as you can see if you search his name. In this digital age, don’t expect it to stop anytime soon. Recruiting web sites such as Rivals and 247 Sports implemented items such as the crystal ball to predict which schools

the recruits will attend. The percentage numbers change almost every single day. Recruiting has become a spectacle and the pressure can be seen on athletes. Ferguson and Jackson, two of the highestprofiled Arizona targets, have each received 13 offers, still remaining uncommitted. UA commits Simmons and Rawle Alkins received 24 before committing to Arizona. “You should begin your basketball recruiting process in the seventh or eighth grade,” according to NCSA Sports. That should be the most ridiculous statement you see all day. The University of Miami football program offered a scholarship to eighth-grader Harrison Bailey in February. Michael Robertson Jr., an eighth-grade running back out of Georgia, received a scholarship offer earlier this year from the University of Georgia. Eighth-grader Chris Lewis was offered scholarships in 2012 to play college basketball at the Universities of New Mexico and Memphis. Lewis recently committed to Harvard University in January 2015. You get my point. Let them make their own decisions and give recruits a break. Try playing in the limelight in front of thousands of people with your career on the line while making a decision that will effect the rest of your life. It can’t be fun. — Follow Matt Wall @mwall20

Wildcats finish fourth in Regionals, Lexi Mills heading to NCAA’s BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona gymnastics team concluded its season at the Athens Regional, placing fourth overall with a team score of 195.900. The mark put them above Michigan State and George Washington University but just a tenth of a point shy from tying No. 3 with Pac-12 Conference foe Oregon State. The meet took place at the University of Georgia in the Stegeman Coliseum. Southeastern Conference powerhouse programs LSU (197.300) and Georgia (196.850) will move on to Fort Worth, Texas, to compete in the NCAA Championships. Beginning the first rotation on a bye, the Wildcats managed a team score of 49.025 on floor. Jessie Sisler led the way with a 9.875 in the event. Krysten Howard hit her floor routine with a 9.850 while Kennady Schneider and Selynna Felix-Terrazas both finished with scores of 9.775 in the rotation. The UA then moved on to vault, an event in which the team has struggled to find consistency throughout the season. The Regionals were no different, as the Wildcats finished with a 48.775. Maddy Cindric and Shelby Edwards had the highs for the Wildcats, each with 9.800. After another bye rotation, the Gymcats combined for their highest team score of the night on the uneven bars with a 49.100. Lexi Mills hit a 9.875, followed close by Howard with a 9.825. Felix-Terrazas and
Gabby Laub both finished the rotation with 9.800. The balance beam was the final rotation for Arizona. Mills placed first overall in the event with a 9.900. It was Arizona’s only first, second or third place individual finish in the meet. Cindric added a 9.850 and was Arizona’s only all-around competitor. She finished the evening with a 39.175 overall in all four events. Danielle Buchanan was placed into the beam lineup for the first time this season, finishing with a 9.825. Although Arizona will not move on, Mills will be competing in the balance beam event at the NCAA Championships in Fort Worth on April 15-16. “We are so proud of the team’s effort and the resiliency they showed on the floor this afternoon,” Arizona head coach Tabitha Yim said. “This team has a lot of heart and they fought for every skill, landing and routine. It was a great experience for our staff and team, and we are thrilled for Lexi to finish out her senior season in Dallas.” While as a team, Arizona failed to make its way to the NCAA Championships, the Wildcats remained in contention the entire way. Arizona kept pace with some of the top teams in the country with a first-year head coach in Yim. — Follow Matt Wall @mwall20

Troubles in bullpen hurt Wildcats in Utah BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
N
o matter which relief pitcher Arizona head coach Jay Johnson put in the game against Utah, the results weren’t
ideal. Bobby Dalbec, a usually dominant reliever, was tagged for three runs and didn’t record a single out, as he blew the Wildcats’ 3-0 lead in game one. In game two, Cody Moffett allowed two runs and Austin Rubick allowed three, as the Wildcats’ four-run lead vanished in the ninth inning. Finally, in game three, starter Cody Deason
was pulled in the eighth inning and replaced by Cameron Ming after Deason surrendered the lead. With the game still tied at 2-2, Ming had a chance to get the game to the ninth with the tie intact, but he couldn’t stop the bleeding. Ming allowed a two-run double to give Utah a decisive 4-2 lead. Arizona’s bullpen was solid this season until the Utah series. Johnson can only hope the struggles don’t become a trend. While the bullpen had trouble closing games out, Arizona’s starting pitchers were excellent against Utah. Nate Bannister held the Utes scoreless until the sixth inning in the series opener Friday and finished with a final line of 6.2 innings, eight hits, three runs, a walk and four strikeouts. JC Cloney, who was supposed to start Friday, but had his start pushed back after an illness, followed it up with a stellar
performance of his own Saturday. He pitched 7.1 innings, allowing just five hits and two runs. Deason held the Utes scoreless for the first seven innings in the series finale and retired 13 straight batters at one point. In the eighth, though, the Utes finally got to him and scored four runs en route to the comeback victory. Still, Deason shut down Utah for most of the game and certainly put the Wildcats in a great position to win. That was the theme of the weekend. The starting pitchers turned in exceptional outings, but Arizona just couldn’t close out. The Wildcats return to action Monday in a one-game showdown against BYU in Provo, Utah. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
Free STD testing, condoms, and give-a-ways at the “Get Yourself Tested” Resource Fair! Wednesday, 4/6 • 10am-2pm • UA Mall
I don’t know if my girlfriend has ever had an orgasm when we have sex. What’s going wrong? We often hear from women who aren’t having orgasms during sexual activity and may be faking it to make their partner “feel better” or at least stop the sex when it’s not feeling so good for them. Men often think that deep penetration will drive their woman wild. Sometimes it does, but many women do not achieve orgasm through penile-vaginal thrusting alone. The fact that you’re concerned is a good sign and the first step toward success. Show her that you care without putting pressure on her. Ask her what feels good. Where are her erogenous zones? Has she ever masturbated to orgasm? Ask her what she wants you to do. Then do it! Ask her things like, “do you like it this way? What feels good to you now? What can I do for you?” Listen carefully. Encourage her to show you what feels good to her. Physiologically, men become aroused more quickly than women. When it comes to sex, it seems that men are like microwaves and women are like crock-pots. They both get cookin’ but sometimes at very different speeds.
This is why foreplay is important. While you may get hard just looking at your girlfriend, she probably needs more time to become aroused. Take time to talk and romance her. Light some candles. Whisper sexy things to her. Take a shower together. Ask what turns her on. Slowly excite her with a gentle massage (use oil in her favorite scent). Warm her up with sensuous caresses and kisses. Help arouse her by licking and gently touching the sexually sensitive areas of her body – breasts, neck, nipples, or back. Some women will orgasm just from the right amount of manual stimulation to the inner surfaces of the labia minora, the head and shaft of the clitoris, and the first inch and a half of the vagina. Sexual fulfillment happens in many different ways and at different times. Few couples have simultaneous orgasms from intercourse alone (unless it’s in a movie or romance novel). Communicate. Take turns. Have fun. And remember to make your sex safer with condoms, lube, latex dams and/or birth control.
