Bouncers out front of your local bar aren’t the only ones skeptical of your Arizona ID— the federal government is too. Arizona just released a new ID that is compliant with federal standards and is now available to residents. The new Voluntary Travel ID’s were released April 1, and

Arizonans can transfer over to them on an “opt-in” basis until Oct. 1, 2020. After that date, however, the new ID’s will be mandatory for anyone wishing to travel via airplane or enter a federal building, as per the Real ID Act of 2005. The act was implemented following the airline hijackings of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the new ID’s will include a

specific mark denoting them as a federally valid ID. The Voluntary Travel ID will give Arizonans the opportunity “to pass through airport security to board commercial aircraft as well as access restricted areas in federal facilities, nuclear power plants and military facilities,” according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. ADOT said the Voluntary

Travel ID will be valid for up to eight years and will cost $25 to apply. Arizonans can still use their ID to travel until the October 2020 deadline. Residents must apply for the ID in person by either going to an authorized third party driver’s license provider or by making an appointment at their local Motor Vehicle Division

Students, faculty look for trust at task force meeting BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE The Daily Wildcat

Discussion at the UA’s first official diversity task force meeting Tuesday quickly revealed a deep-seated mistrust between students and administration that would take time to overcome. While the first hour of the meeting focused on the structure of the task force, the second hour turned into a discussion between students and faculty regarding trust in the process and the people involved. Students began expressing concern after one of the task force’s three co-chairs, Tannya Gaxiola, the assistant vice president of community relations, shared that some work was already being done by the administration to meet certain demands. “[The orientation team] heard loud and clear that one of the things that’s really important is that from the first interaction that our students have on campus, they need to start hearing from us that diversity and inclusion is a value here at the [UA],” Gaxiola said. The orientation team is already implementing changes for the upcoming new student orientations, so incoming students will be “hearing things differently than they have heard previously,” Gaxiola said. Student representatives expressed concern that they had not been involved in the implementation of these changes and shared that

since they had not gone over their demands with faculty, they did not trust that those demands were interpreted correctly. “When we’re left out of those conversations, we think, ‘well, there’s no standard of competency, like what perspective are they coming from?’” said Trinity Goss, co-president of the Black Student Union. Multiple student concerns prompted Jen Hoefle-Olson, program director for LGBTQ Affairs, to ask the student representatives present what it would take to earn their trust. Hoefle-Olson’s question was the turning point in a discussion that had begun to result in visible frustration for both students and faculty, allowing students to share

the sources of their mistrust. “I’d personally like to see some of the faculty and staff and the senior vice presidency committee actually set foot in our centers and talk to the students,” said Monica Contreras, a senior intern at Chicano/Hispanic Student Affairs. “You know, stop by, have lunch with us, because a lot of this stuff is going on through a hierarchy and an ivory tower and we feel as students our voices aren’t being heard.” Contreras’ feelings were echoed by other students who wanted to see faculty and staff reach out and attend events. Collectively, the task force decided upon eight subcommittees with which to tackle different issues. The subcommittees are: Classroom Experience, Financial Aid and

Admissions, Health and Wellness, Faculty and Staff Diversity, Cultural Competency Training, Spaces and Facilities, Student Experiences, and Student Support. Each subcommittee is based on issues brought forth by students during both the faculty senate meeting and President Ann Weaver Hart’s listening tours, and the Marginalized Students of the University of Arizona’s list of demands. Each member of the task force was encouraged to sign up for one or more of the subcommittees, which will decide on their respective meeting times. The diversity task force will meet once a month. It is the subcommittees’ job to focus on particular kinds of demands and develop feasible solutions, which can then be presented to the diversity task force as a whole. The task force co-chairs will present and advocate for agreed upon solutions to the university’s senior vice presidents. Task force co-chair Gaxiola said she understood the students’ emotions in the meeting. “I thought today’s meeting was really great,” Gaxiola said. “There is a lot of passion about these issues and we need to hear that—we want to hear that.”

Say hello to the UA’s new student regent BY Chastity Laskey

The Daily Wildcat

Meet Vianney Careaga, the newly appointed student regent and voice for Arizona students across the state. Careaga, a political science sophomore and the current Associated Students of the University of Arizona director of civic engagement will appear today before the Senate Committee on Education for his conformation hearing. “I am very humbled and honored at this opportunity to serve my fellow peers not only here at the UA, but also at Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University,” Careaga said. “The student regent gets to have a hand in really shaping the future of higher education policy for the state of Arizona.” Background and experience Careaga has had governmental aspirations for quite a while. “I’ve been wanting to go into public service since the third grade,” he said. He added that a discussion about the legislative branch, senators and the House of Representatives captivated his attention because they have real potential to make a positive difference in people’s lives. “I jokingly say that I changed my career path at that moment, from wanting to be a scientist to wanting to go into public service,” Careaga said. Gov. Doug Ducey praised Careaga and his prowess for leadership in a press release following the announcement of his appointment. “Vianney is a dedicated, motivated and talented Arizona student leader,” Ducey said in the press release. “A sophomore in college, he has established himself as a strong champion for civic engagement and a powerful voice for higher education. Vianney has represented his fellow students with distinction and will be a valuable asset to the Board and to our three excellent universities.” Careaga said he’s been involved with the Boy Scouts of America since 2002, and he spent last year traveling 26,000 miles and visiting more than 20 states as the National Youth Representative for Arizona, Las Vegas and San Diego. “I have experience working and representing not only my fellow peers, but also adults, and being student regent, you also have to take into consideration the needs of the faculty and the staff at the universities as well,” he said. Careaga worked this semester alongside other ASUA student leaders to help formulate the Arizona Student Government Collaborative, where he said he was able to build relationships with many of the student leaders at the other universities. A Tucson native, Careaga graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School located just a few minutes from the UA, where he was made

a permanent member of the high school’s Tucson Alumni Council that meets quarterly. He is currently the alumni secretary and scholarship chairman for his fraternity Phi Delta Theta. Selection After filling out an application, Vianney said the board’s selection committee, comprised of UA faculty and student leaders, called a select number of applications back for an interview. The committee then selected four semifinalists and from there, they were all invited to a semi-finalist dinner to meet with more campus leaders and administrators. After the committee narrowed the field down to three finalists, they were then invited to the governor’s office where they were subjected to further interviews in order to pick the right person for the position. Michael Finnegan, current chief of staff to ASUA President Manny Felix, chair of the student regent selection committee and ASUA president-elect, has worked with Careaga before and said he has no doubt in Careaga’s ability to do a great job. “I think he’ll be an amazing candidate,” Finnegan said. “We’re excited to have a student regent that we can work really closely with. I have the utmost cooperation with Vianney and I’m really excited to work with him in the future.” Looking Forward The student regent has to be an exemplary student, according to Careaga, adding that he will strive to balance his extracurricular activities, academics and his duties as the student regent. “It’s much like being a student athlete,” he said. “You’re a student first and an athlete second.”

It may seem as if someone is “snapping out of it” but in reality there’s no quick, easy way to sober up. Not with coffee, not a cold shower, nor food. Not even if the police show up at your party! If you’re really intoxicated, it isn’t possible. So what’s the effect you’re observing? First, the person may not be as intoxicated as you thought. Not even close. After all, who keeps track of how much someone else is drinking? When in full party mode, you could assume someone was drunk based on their behaviors. But in an emergency (police at the door), the environment demands different behaviors and the person “snaps to attention” to handle the situation. Secondly, even those who drink more than a few are responding to the environment. Let’s say you have the same number of drinks when drinking with your parents as you had at Saturday’s party with friends.

Two very different environments, same number of drinks but we’re betting your behavior wasn’t the same. The research backs up this phenomenon. Many studies on positive alcohol expectancies demonstrate a drinker’s experience is psychological rather than pharmacological and the extent of what you expect when drinking influences your actual experience. In other words we pick up cues from our environment (party) to “act” drunk (someone feels less inhibited so talks more and louder, says things they later regret, appears more outgoing, more energetic, more sociable). Basically, acting in a bigger way than when they are sober. All these variables together could lead an observer to believe they are drunk. But change the environment and viola! Drunk behaviors aren’t positively reinforced around parents and the police! So the take-away here is that you can drink less and still have fun!

Faculty on Hart: ‘What was she thinking?’ BY Leah Merrall The Daily Wildcat

Widespread dissatisfaction in the Tucson community concerning UA President Ann Weaver Hart’s position with the DeVry Education Group has prompted a Change.org petition calling for her to step down from her controversial post. Jake Harwood, a UA professor of communications, created the petition in response to his shared concern with others that Hart’s role is inappropriate. “Ann Weaver Hart’s position on the DeVry board is a direct conflict of interest with her position as [UA] president,” the petition reads. “It conflicts with her ability to focus 100 [percent] on the [UA], and specifically it conflicts because both institutions offer online degree programs, including in similar disciplines. She should resign her position on the DeVry board.” Harwood’s public call for Hart to leave her post isn’t the only one. On Wednesday, in a letter to the editor in the Arizona Daily Star, a group of 17 representatives and four senators from the Arizona Legislature demanded that not only Hart leave

her post at DeVry, but that she resign as president of the university. Hart took the job with DeVry University, a for-profit institution, in February for a $70,000 per year salary plus $100,000 in stock. On the same day, Linda Katehi, chancellor at the University of California, Davis, also took a position. All of this came in the wake of the Federal Trade Commission announcing its decision to sue the DeVry Group for allegedly deceiving students. Katehi stepped down just a few days later. Hart did not. The petition needs 200 signatures to reach its goal, and had 180 as of April 5. Harwood said that once the petition is complete, he will pass it on to Hart so that she can know the feelings of the community. “I haven’t met a single person who thinks that what she’s doing is appropriate,” Harwood said. “Maybe those people exist somewhere on campus, but so far everybody I’ve spoken to, the most common thing I hear is, ‘What was she thinking?’” Harwood added that one of the things that upsets him most about Hart taking this position has to do with the financial aspect. He said

that in the last 10 or 15 years since he has been a professor at the UA, many people have lost their jobs because there is not enough money to pay them. “I think for some people, the contrast for her personally benefiting to the tune of $70,000 from the university’s name, while people on campus who earn $30,000 or $40,000 a year are losing their jobs because we don’t have that money to pay those people,” Harwood said. “I think that contrast—for anybody who sort of values equality on campus—I think that’s sort of grating for some people.” Harwood is not the only person, or faculty member, who feels this way. A wide swath of people—students, faculty, parents of students and even members of the Tucson community— have expressed their opinions and added their signatures to the position. David Cuillier, director of the school of journalism, gave his input. “DeVry is paying President Hart purely for her UA affiliation to provide credibility to their questionable organization,” he wrote in a comment on the petition website. “This cheapens the UA name, hurts the UA. President Hart is personally profiting

courtesy of ann weaver hart

by hurting her employer.” Many others were just as outraged. Melanie Cooley, a UA alumna and employee, also shared her thoughts on the petition’s comment section. “If she is truly concerned about ‘work[ing] toward assuring that higher education is available to a segment of Americans who will never be able to attend universities like the [UA],’ then perhaps she should focus on expanding opportunities for students to attend the UA—and

Pima Community College—rather than throwing in with a for-profit institution with a reputation for taking advantage of those students she claims to be concerned about,” Cooley wrote. The petition reached 100 signatures in just one week.

Harding said one document will prove their legal status in the U.S. with either a passport, birth certificate or immigration documents. The second document will need to be a social security card or W-2 tax form and the other two forms will need to prove their residency in Arizona by providing utility bills or a bank statement. “It gives state residents a choice,” Harding said. “It’s recommended if they travel a lot, but otherwise they can just use a passport if they don’t feel the need to purchase one.” Daniel Pressman, a political science sophomore, said as an Arizonan who’s been to the MVD a few times to get his permit and license, this new law does seem like it could have many negative side effects aside from just having to deal with the long lines at the MVD. “I’ll be turning 21 this summer, so along with receiving my new driver’s license, I’ll try to get the new ID then,” Pressman said. “It will definitely be confusing for many people, as it’ll be difficult for me to find all four documents.

Careaga said he is excited to have received this nomination. He said there’s a lot of work that needs to be done and he thinks that the more discussions he and the regents will be able to have with students, the more they will understand the challenges the student body faces. “I think the No. 1 thing is most students don’t know who their direct representatives are,” Careaga said. “Most of them can probably name their student body president, but I can guarantee you most students, even at the [UA] can’t name who their student regent is.” Student regents serve two-year terms, and there are always two student regents sitting on the board at any given time. The first year of a term is designed to be more observatory and learning-based while the second year, a student regent will be able to exercise the same rights as any of the other regents. Careaga will fill the vacancy made by the departure of current student regent Mark Naufel, who will be completing his term at the end of this semester.

Arizona Board of Regents members gather in Phoenix in February 2016. The regents will visit Tucson this week for their final board meeting of the spring semester.

Regents to set tuition this week The movers and shakers in Arizona higher education policy will convene on the UA campus on April 7 and 8 to set tuition for the upcoming school year

BY Chastity Laskey The Daily Wildcat

Every time the Arizona Board of Regents meets, the regents discuss some of the largest issues facing Arizona’s college students. But this week’s meeting at the UA is one of the most important of the entire year as the regents will set the cost of tuition for the upcoming academic year. Tuition largely dominates the agenda for this week’s meetings as the regents have to approve tuition proposals from all three of the in-state universities. Here are the highlights of UA President Ann Weaver Hart’s tuition proposal for the UA main campus: • 3.2 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for incoming new resident undergraduate students, which is a $366 increase • 2.8 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for continuing

resident undergraduate students who did not opt-in for the tuition guarantee program, which is a $299 increase • 7.2 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for incoming new nonresident undergraduate students, which is a $2,337 increase • 5.8 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for continuing nonresident undergraduate students who did not opt-in for the tuition guarantee program, which is a $1,745 increase • 2.8 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for resident graduate students, which is a $335 increase • 5.8 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for nonresident graduate students, which is a $1,765 increase Also proposed is discontinuing the two and three-year master’s tuition guarantees

that were implemented in a UA pilot program in 2015-2016. The UA is also proposing to increase two existing differential tuition and program fees that create three new program fees for undergraduate students, and eight new program fees for graduate students. Five existing class fees have proposed increases, and there’s one new class fee proposed in humanities. UA undergraduate housing will see a proposed average of a 4 percent increase, which is roughly $275 per year. The incremental gross tuition and fee revenues are estimated at $219.2 million under Hart’s tuition proposals, according to the regents’ executive summary included in their agenda. The agenda stated the breakdown is $191.5 million from base tuition and $27.7 million from differential, program, class and mandatory fees. Of the $191.5 million in base tuition, 72 percent ($137.7 million) is attributed to enrollment

growth and change in the mix of students and 28 percent ($53.8 million) from rate increases. Other big agenda items include the UA asking the board for authorization to: • Sell part of vacant land adjacent to state Route 260, that is currently owned by UA to the Arizona Department of Transportation • Acquire property in downtown Phoenix that is adjacent to the UA’s Phoenix Biomedical Campus from the University of Arizona Foundation for expected future growth The UA is also asking the board to approve the appointments of three new regents’ professors, Renu Malhotra, Ronald Breiger and Frank Gohlke, from the UA for their exceptional achievements. — Follow Chastity Laskey @chastity_laskey

Dean of students: University will not relocate or silence preachers on campus

I

t happens every year. In addition to controversial subject matter displays on the UA Mall, itinerant campus preachers arrive and set up shop near the heaviest pedestrian traffic—Alumni Plaza and the Canyon [walkway by CC’s Coffee House] near the Student Union Memorial Center. Some share messages of inclusiveness while others spew venom at specific members of our university community. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are rightfully offended by what they hear, and that disgust is frequently reported to me. Many argue that these speakers are operating under the “guise” of the First Amendment and must be barred from campus, arrested or otherwise have their speech censured or restrained. I understand the impact the messaging has on us all—it is hurtful, counter to who we are as an institution and community, causes concern for personal safety and distress for targeted groups. However, what the university cannot do is attempt to silence a speaker’s vile message based on a perception that it crosses a line that can neither be readily identified nor defined. Those who insult others do not operate under the “guise” of the First Amendment; they operate under it in

the purest sense. Those who want the university to muzzle speakers based on their messages should remember that one day, they might want to advance a controversial position and may need to rely on the very protections they are seeking to deny others. So, do we have no choice other than to be held hostage by these dispensers of hate? Hardly. To the contrary, the balance of power lies squarely on our side as those who promote inclusivity vastly outnumber those who reject it. In addition, there are multiple strategies for effectively dealing with hateful messages. The most obvious is denying the speaker an audience or changing your route to class or work. Address hateful speech with inclusive speech such as the Women’s Resource Center students countering an itinerant preacher with “You Deserve …” signs. It is a fair question for students to ask why they must move from their comfortable spot on the Mall to avoid offensive speech. The short answer is that you do not have to move. Other options include tuning the speakers out, listening or peacefully engaging. Please be assured that the university will act to curtail conduct that may be unlawful (e.g., hitting and other physical contact,

etc.). It will not relocate or silence speakers who operate within its reasonable time, space and manner regulations because their words are hurtful and unintelligent. That’s our Constitution, and thankfully, we don’t get to choose which parts to follow or reject based on mere convenience or personal preference. My commitment to the campus community is to ensure that we are responsive to the needs of those impacted, and to that end, I invite you to participate in the Fearless Expression: Religion, Politics, and Free Speech at the University of Arizona Forum on Wednesday, April 6 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in Gallagher Theater—Student Union Memorial Center, where a panel of student leaders, faculty and staff will discuss key issues and engage the audience in a conversation. “Our freedom of speech is freedom or death. We got to fight the powers that be.” — Fight the Power by Public Enemy — Kendal Washington White is the assistant vice president and dean of students at the UA

If tuition is going to increase, so should the quality of the university BY Sabrina Etcheverry The Daily Wildcat

A

dministration brings a new tuition plan to the Arizona Board of Regents every year, and rates for incoming students to attend the UA rise. This year is no different. President Ann Weaver Hart has proposed incoming out-of-state students pay $34,967 in tuition and incoming instate students pay $11,769. Not only do tuition increases like these make it increasingly difficult for students to attend the UA, but there is also no explicit explanation of where this money is proposed to be going. It is part of the university’s Never Settle plan, according to Hart.

rising tuition rates, our professors would be well-paid. However, the average adjunct professor makes only $30,709 per year, according to Glass Door. It cannot be truly argued that tuition raises promote student success if most of our professors are incredibly underpaid, while our administrators get hefty raises. The UA is supposedly dedicated to providing educational access to the general population as a land-grant university. However, when tuition costs rise every year, how can we claim to be fulfilling that mission, especially if out-of-state tuition for the nine-month school year is more than the average annual salary of our adjunct professors? If tuition is going to increase every year, there should be a clear push for smaller class sizes, higher-paid professors and a more comprehensive learning experience for all students. — Follow Sabrina Etcheverry @sabrina_etch

Porn is full of damaging effects for viewers BY Scott Baca

The Daily Wildcat

P

orn is everywhere. It’s on billboards, advertisements, television, movies and referenced fairly directly in music. Porn—defined as printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings— is something you will probably encounter, purposefully or not. And at our core, I think most of us would have to admit we like porn. The fact that porn is appealing to the vast majority of people is indicated by the success of the porn industry, in which websites alone grossed $3 billion in revenue in 2014. Those same porn websites also have more

visitors per month than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined. We like porn. But I, probably like many, like porn in the same way I like a deep-fried Oreo covered in chocolate syrup: I know it’s bad for me, it may cause some unpleasant effects and it is not the ideal nutritional snack for my body, but it’s just so freaking good that I can’t help it. And just like sugary snacks, porn is plentiful in today’s world. It is being met with increasing levels of acceptance as normal. It is estimated that 70 percent of men and 30 percent of women watch porn, with both of those numbers rising rapidly. It has become a way of life; an average part of growing up in a world where anything is accessible, just one click away. Now, nothing is normal about portraying women—or anyone, for that matter—as sex objects with no depth or value apart from their physical forms. And I don’t

buy the new “feminist porn” movement. It’s pretty simple: If I’m watching an attractive woman banging a dude, I’m still going to be objectifying her in my mind. Women saying they can be just as shallow and thoughtless as men by gearing porn toward a more diverse range of viewers isn’t going to make things any better. In addition to the many evils that go into making porn, it is also harmful for the viewer. There are a few aspects to its damaging effects. First of all, it’s addicting. Porn triggers a rush of dopamine—a chemical that makes you feel good and is sort of a built-in reward given for when people eat food or have sex—to your brain. This chemical reaction makes you want that dopamine reward again, thus making porn look all the more attractive—as if it needed any help. In addition to its addicting nature, the product that porn

sells—the “everything is about Behavior study, 36 percent of sex” mantra, the notion that women said they equate porn the wilder and hotter the girl with cheating. Even if you don’t is, the more she consider it cheating, is worth—is the psychological It may damaging to effect of knowing our personal significant cause some your relationships. other is looking at Love and unpleasant effects porn probably isn’t sex, in reality, an ego boost. and it is not the require not just Love is real and two bodies, but it is awesome, but ideal nutritional two peoples’ porn is an easy snack for my characters, fix that can cause personalities, more harm than body, but it’s just intellects and good.

Electric Forest Festival Where: Rothbury, Michigan When: June 23-26

Electric Forest Festival gives its more popular counterpart, Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, a run for its popularity. Electric Forest creates a weekend-long mystic wonderland of electronic music. At night the festival illuminates into a colorful oasis within the deep Michigan forest. This year’s lineup rivals any other electronic music festival with Bassnectar, Major Lazer, Adventure Club and Porter Robinson all performing. There are dozens of EDM artists, but Major Lazer and Bassnectar play three sets each. Electric Forest has several camping sites, and attendees are encouraged to live as an active part of the forest, so there’s no reason to worry about how hot it’s going to be while you wait for your bus back to civilization like you would at EDC.

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival Where: San Francisco When: Aug. 5-7 Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival takes over San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and fills it with a wide variety of music, art and food. This festival captures the freespirited adventurism of Northern California and consistently delivers a solid lineup. This year’s featured artists include Chance the Rapper, Foals, Lana Del Rey and Zedd, among others. Outside Lands incorporates elements of visual art and gastronomy into the festival, showcasing a live painting wall, sculptures and tons of food trucks and breweries.

3

Northside Festival Where: Brooklyn, New York When: June 6-12

Without the wide open areas that West Coast festivals thrive on, New York City has to get creative with its festival spaces. Nevertheless, Brooklyn still reigns as the epicenter of all things “cool,” and Northside Festival is a testament to that. Centering itself on music, innovation and content, Northside Festival is a creative type’s dream. Up-and-coming indie artists and high-tech startups both share the limelight at this culture-forward festival. Questlove, Kacey Musgraves and Brian Wilson all shed some mainstream popularity onto this year’s lineup despite the festival’s primarily alternative scene. The festival place all over Brooklyn, so it integrates the

everyday vibrancy of New York into this cutting-edge festival.

Pickathon eliminates the materialism that festivals like Coachella are starting to see more and more of. Pickathon takes place on a farm just outside of Portland and turns its six stages into unique alternate realities aimed at transporting festival-goers to different musical worlds. The festival consists entirely of indie artists, but rising acts like The Oh Hellos and Yo La Tengo will take the stage this year. Pickathon emphasizes the importance of sustainability and prides itself on being the first festival to be free of plastic bottles and cups—it is in Oregon after all.

5

Lightning in a Bottle Where: Bradley, California When: May 25-30

Coachella meets Burning Man in this transformational festival. Lightning in a Bottle oozes creativity and brings passion for music, food, art and sustainability together in a four-day event. Electronica artists such as Chet Faker, Marian Hill and Grimes lead the musical lineup this year. Don’t expect to rage here though—the content of this festival evokes a chill, psychedelic vibe. Lightning in a Bottle offers fully immersive environments that create a strong sense of community. Interactive play stations, a simulated village and a temple of consciousness and others help turn this festival into a new-age artistic colony. Lightning in a Bottle combines many alluring elements, but it’s a festival that fosters a community much greater than the sum of its parts.

Caffé Lucé barista reveals his worst nightmare By Mariel bustamante The Daily Wildcat

Coffee often seems limited at the UA with only CC’s Coffee House and Starbucks. But if you take the walk down to University Boulevard, you will come across the unique little coffee shop Caffé Lucé. The Daily Wildcat sat down with its manager, Clinton Baker to talk about this student favorite.

, ! HEY BARISTAucé fe Caf

L

Daily Wildcat: How long have you been working at Caffé Lucé? Clinton Baker: I’ve been here [for] I think six years or so. What’s your favorite part about working here? Well, free coffee is a big up. You get to see so many people, like regulars, you see them everyday. We also have a lot of flexibility too, so we get to say what we want to say and do what we want to do to some extent, so that’s nice to have the flexibility.

Darien Bakas/The Daily Wildcat

Caffe Luce manager, Clinton Baker, standing behind the counter to take coffee orders from customers on Wednesday, March 30. The coffee shop is located just north of University Boulevard on Park Avenue.

What’s your least favorite part? Blended drinks. Frappuccinos. I hate making those damn frappuccinos. They’re the worst. It’s my worst nightmare.

So you mentioned regulars, do you have a lot of regulars? Yeah we have a lot of regulars, I’d say probably 70 percent of our customers are regulars and you see them pretty much daily. What’s your favorite drink to make? Honestly it’s a medium latte in a forhere cup because they’re big wide cups and you can pour really nice latte art in them and its my favorite drink to make. So every time someone orders that, I’m happy. Have you found yourself drinking more or less coffee since you began working here? More coffee definitely, but I kind of fluctuate. At one point I was drinking a ton of coffee and then I realized it was kind of ridiculous, so I scaled back. I still drink a lot of coffee, but not as much as I used to. Have you had any weird experiences while working here? We’ve had people try to come in and steal our tip jars. This one sketchy guy came in and tried to steal the tip jar and me and the other barista Kyle were here and he tried to fight us and tried to come

behind the bar because we wouldn’t let him steal the tip jar. So just a bunch of Tucson crazies that come in every now and then. Do you get to control the music here? Yeah that’s one of the perks of working here. We get to play whatever we want. It also depends what we play. We go from like country to hip-hop to summer hits of the ’90s. So it’s really whoever gets to the radio first gets to pick. Last year, Caffé Lucé bought local downtown favorite Sparkroot, but it seems that everything will remain as is at Lucé. “It doesn’t really change my life that much,” Baker said. “My boss is really stressed out, but it doesn’t change our job here [University location] that much. But we can go in there [Sparkroot] and get the hookup now so that’s good.” If you’re ever looking for a new coffee spot that doesn’t scream capitalism, take a walk down University Boulevard to Caffé Lucé and treat yourself to a latte.

No money, no problem: University Boulevard has student discounts BY Tayor Brestel The Daily Wildcat

Student discounts are one of the few perks of being in college. It’s almost worth it to spend thousands of dollars every year on tuition and fees just so you can get 10 percent off in a store you probably didn’t even like anyway. With so many shops on University Boulevard, there’s definitely something for everyone, but does your favorite place have a discount? Restaurants generally don’t have student discounts, or any discounts actually. Sometimes they have coupons, but other than that, you’re on your own. Caffe Luce, Jamba Juice, Campus Candy & Yogurt and Jimmy John’s do not offer discounts to UA students. Some restaurants on University Boulevard, however, like The Fix, Frog & Firkin and Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company take CatCash. CatCash and meal plan money are not the same thing. Meal plans are used to buy food on campus, but CatCash is used for places off campus where you could use a credit card instead.

Students can also use CatCash at other locations off campus like Beach Bunnie Tanning. “Basically if you’re a student you can pay with CatCash,” said Jessi Martinez, a Beach Bunnie Tanning employee. “Also, your spray tan is $19 instead of $34.” You can also use your student ID to get a discounted haircut. Both Cost Cutters and Style America offer a 10 percent discount. At Cost Cutters, that’s a savings of more than $1.50 per haircut. Similar to restaurants, most clothing stores don’t have student-specific discounts, but many of the clothing store employees on University Boulevard referenced coupons in the free “Student Insider” book that can be found at many campus locations at the beginning of each semester. The coupon book also has deals for nearby restaurants and places in the Arizona Student Unions, so make sure you grab one when the next batch comes out in the fall. Urban Outfitters and Campus Athletic don’t have any special prices for students— sadly—but if you’re looking for cheaper prices on clothing, American Apparel takes

10 percent off your purchase with a CatCard. Sonoran Cycles, the bike shop on University Boulevard, also offers discounts. “It’s 10 percent off for students and faculty, and we sponsor the UA Cycling Club and the TriCats team,” said Abel Burgos, an employee at Sonoran Cycles. Posner’s Art Store has a discount card, but it comes with some conditions. Employee Dylan Burton explained that each purchase amount is written on the card, and once someone gets to $100, they receive $10 in store credit. “It’s free and it never expires,” Burton said. Ooo! Outside Of Ordinary owner Tom Cassidy said UA students get 10 percent off any purchase. The store has all kinds of things including jewelry, decorations and souvenirs. Remember to bring your CatCard next time you go shopping on University Boulevard, and maybe you’ll be able to take advantage of some of the great deals available for students. — Follow Taylor Brestel @taylorbrestel

Songfacts. This pop rock single was—and still is—considered a greatest hit.

The ’70s, ’80s and ’90s were a musically powerful moment in history where artists like David Bowie, 2Pac, Queen, The Bee Gees and Dr. Dre paved the way to our current modern hits. Here is a list of must have ’70s, ’80s and ’90s music that should always find a place in your music playlist.

6. “Stayin’ Alive” by The Bee Gees (1977) What could be better than the Gibb brothers and disco music? Their hit single “Stayin’ Alive” that would later be known as one of their most recognized songs.

1. “Changes” by David Bowie (1971) “Changes” is arguably one of Bowie’s most well-known songs. The lyrics speak about the movement of time and the legacy we leave for our children and their children. This song is a reminder as time ticks away. It is inevitable for change to occur.

2. “American Pie” by Don McLean (1971) According to the Washington Post, Buddy Holly charted a plane on February 1959 that was meant to fly himself, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, aka “The Big Bopper,” even though weather conditions did not permit it. Unfortunately the plane crashed, and McLean created a tribute with his lyrics, because it really was “the day the music died.”

3. “December, 1963” by The Four Seasons (1975) This catchy dance rock disco number was originally written by The Four Seasons keyboard player and backing vocalist Bob Gaudio and initially was titled “December 5th, 1933,” according to Songfacts The lyrics were essentially commenting on the Prohibition, but were later changed to a nostalgic memory about an affair taking place and the dynamic relationship Gaudio shares with his wife. “Oh what a night,” indeed it was! 4. “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole (1975) The daughter of Nat King Cole had a lot to live up to with her father’s name, but her first original single was nothing short of impressive to say the least. Her father died when she was 15 years old, but the music tells a story of its own. 5. “You’re My Best Friend” by Queen (1975) The bass guitarist John Deacon wrote this hit song for his wife Veronica Tetzlaff, according to

7. “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac (1977) Fleetwood Mac’s keyboard player Christine McVie wrote this song to reflect how she felt after her marriage with John McVie came to an end. This song hit No. 3 on the Billboard singles chart, according to Songfacts. The lyrics are raw and listeners can interpret her struggles as a new chapter marked in her life; but regardless this tune has an uplifting beat, which always reminds us that tomorrow is a new day filled with better things to come. 8. “Always Something There to Remind Me” by Naked Eyes (1983) This song was written in the perspective of a man going through a breakup and his constant struggle of being reminded of her wherever he goes. Naked Eye members Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote this song, and Tony Mansfield produced it. 9. “It Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube (1992) This West Coast hip-hop song is from the album The Predator by artist Ice Cube, who raps about his life and the benefits of his success. Ice Cube’s lyrics reflect the importance of appreciating his past, and acknowledging the hard work and efforts that led him to his future successes. 10. “California Love” by 2Pac ft. Dr. Dre (1995) After 2Pac was released from prison in 1995, he created this hit single that would later be nominated for a Grammy as a Best Rap Solo Performance. The song mentions multiple California hometown cities such as Compton, Watts and Long Beach, and the background beat is so catchy and original that even 20 years since its release, this song is still being blasted from coast to coast.

This Week in Science: rhinos, diodes and intimate robots BY EMILY HEDGES The Daily Wildcat

Diodes made from DNA Researchers have developed the smallest diode using DNA. A diode is a component made of two electrodes that conduct electricity. They are used in electronic circuits to regulate circuit flow. Although diodes are usually made with semiconductors like silicon, researchers from the University of Georgia and BenGurion University created a diode using a single molecule of DNA. The DNA molecule used in the study had 11 base pairs, which is considerably short. The human genome has over 3 billion base pairs. Researchers inserted a molecule they call coralyne into the shortened DNA strand, which increased the current for negative voltage to 15 times stronger than positive ones, thus creating a diode. Researchers also created a theoretical model of the DNA strand to help them better understand why the experiment had the results it did. Making silicon diodes smaller than they currently are is a problem, according to the study’s lead author, Bingqian Xu. “For 50 years, we have been able to place more and more computing power onto … smaller chips, but we are now pushing the physical limits of silicon,” Xu said. Since diodes this small are not able to be made with silicon, this new diode has the potential to be used in creating increasingly smaller electronic devices. Hannibal tracked through Alps The exact path Hannibal took to cross the Alps may have been found by researchers who analyzed 2,000-year-old horse feces. The analysis, led by Bill Mahaney of York University in Toronto, combined microbial genetic analysis, pollen analysis and other geophysical analysis techniques that revealed a deposit of fecal matter thought to be from horses near the site of Col de la Traversette in France. The fecal matter found at the site was dated to about 200 B.C. using carbon isotope analysis. This approximately matches the known date Hannibal crossed the Alps: 218

B.C. Researchers found that more than 70 percent of microbes found in the fecal matter are from the Clostridia groups. These bacteria can survive for thousands of years when deposited in soil. Because the fecal matter dates from around the same time, it is being used as evidence that Hannibal traveled the Col de la Traversette route across the Alps. The site is also thought to be the place Hannibal crossed because it fits physical descriptions of the location the general passed through. More research still needs to be done to determine for certain whether the bacteria came from horses or humans, according to Chris Allen, senior lecturer in environmental biology at Queen’s University Belfast. Rhino’s death causes alarm Najaq, one of the last known Sumatran rhinos, died Tuesday. Najaq was captured in a pit trap in March and rescued in the Indonesian part of Borneo. The rhino was around 4 or 5 years old at the time of her death. Sumatran rhinos were previously thought to have been extinct from this part of Borneo until camera evidence spotted a scant few rhinos in 2013. Before Najaq was found, a Sumatran rhino had not been encountered in the Indonesian part of Borneo for about 40 years. Najaq suffered from a leg infection after she was rescued, leading to her health deteriorating and, ultimately, to her death, according to Indonesia’s environment minister, Dr. Siti Nurbaya Bakar. It is believed the infection was caused by a wound Najaq received from an earlier poaching attempt, according to Arnold Sitompul, conservation director for WWF Indonesia. Sumatran rhinos are poached in the wild because their horns and appendages are highly prized and are sold on the black market. Only around 100 Sumatran rhinos are thought to still exist today. “Our hearts are saddened by this devastating news from Kalimantan,” wrote the International Rhino Foundation on its Facebook page.

with robots may not be in your future after all. New research found that humans are uncomfortable with touching robots in so-called intimate areas. A team of researchers are developing robots meant to serve as teachers and companions for humans in the future. Researchers chose to investigate different forms of robot-human interaction to supplement their research. “Touch is a powerful form of communication between people that is rather understudied when it comes to robots,” said Jamy Li, social scientist at Stanford University and lead author of the study. Li’s team experimented with a robot that can walk, recognize objects and react to commands, among other things. Researchers programmed the small, humanoid robot to verbally instruct human

volunteers to touch its mechanical body in certain areas. The humans wore sensors that measured their emotional responses, such as sweating, when they followed the robot’s directions. Li’s team found the humans experienced higher emotional responses that indicated discomfort when touching the robot’s crotch and buttocks, compared to touching other parts of the robot such as the hands or neck. “One participant simply didn’t touch the robot at all in the intimate areas,” Li said. The research suggests that people respond to robots in primitive ways, which could aid in developing robots to interact with people. — Follow Emily Hedges @theemilyhedges

Future of San Pedro aquifer at risk BY Jordan glenn

Arizona Sonora News

A massive new housing development proposed in Benson, Arizona, could empty the San Pedro River Valley aquifer, impacting agriculture, ranches and wildlife from Mexico to Winkelman, Arizona. The builder, El Dorado Housing Inc., plans to build a Tuscan-style complex of 28,000 homes over 12,324 acres along the San Pedro River. Complete with an 18hole golf course, parks, recreation center and nature trails, the development looks to reinvent the desert community. The project would more than double the rate at which the town pumps its water now. Often times, if water is drawn out of aquifers too quickly, there will be little time for the pool to recharge and other water sources in the area, such as the San Pedro River, will run dry as well. “The planned pumping will significantly increase the rate of depletion of the deeper aquifer beneath Benson and potentially other locations along the San Pedro River as well, with negative impacts to both municipal and agricultural wells,” wrote Norm Meader, co-president of the Cascabel Conservation Association in a letter to the Benson City Council.

In a recent lecture at the Benson City Hall, Jim Leenhouts, a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, helped explain aquifers and their importance to the land. “One way to look at an aquifer is as a storage mechanism, like a bank account,” Leenhouts said. “The recharge to the aquifer—that’s what’s coming in from the rivers—is like your income. The withdrawals you take out, either from wells you pump or natural ground water flowing out of the basin, are all expenditures of your bank account. You don’t want your bank account going to zero.” If the villages are built with the proposed water pumping permissions, residents downstream believe it could have devastating results. The Upper San Pedro Basin contains 19.2 billion gallons. The project wants to pump an additional 3.9 billion gallons a year on top of the estimated 7.1 billion gallons that Benson already uses. That would be 11 billion gallons. Each year, about 5.2 billion gallons recharge the storage from seasonal rains. In the worst-case scenario, the aquifer could have no available water in five years. If that happens, environmental activists predict problems for the sensitive area, particularly downstream. “Nearly twothirds of all North American bird species

nest along the San Pedro during migration,” according to UA Water Resources professor Mark Apel. Running 140 miles from south to north, the San Pedro River provides a fertile oasis in the dry sea of the Sonoran Desert. Hundreds of species inhabit the area, including several on the Endangered Species List. Earthjustice, an environmental law group based in San Francisco, along with the Tucson Audubon Society, Maricopa Audubon Society, Sierra Club, Cascabel Conservation Association, and the Lower San Pedro Watershed Alliance announced in early March they would sue to delay the plan until the water issue is resolved. “This is a bigger development than the ones we’ve dealt with in the past so it has the potential for much greater impacts on stream flows,” said Chris Eaton, an associate attorney for Earthjustice. “If steps are not taken to protect the river from excessive human water use and ground pumping, we are going to lose a really impressive ecosystem.” Matt Clark, conservation analyst with Tucson Audubon Society, echoed Eaton’s comments. “If we are going to have development, then it needs to be done very cautiously and carefully, especially in proximity to the San

Pedro River since it’s a very sensitive area,” Clark said. “This is a globally important area for birds and wildlife. If we treat the San Pedro River like we treated the Santa Cruz River, then there’s going to be a sad ending to this story.”

The UA is world-renowned for its success in research. From biology to physics, each branch of science makes significant contributions to UA’s research community. Graduate and undergraduate researchers in geological sciences were given an opportunity to showcase their work at the 44th Annual Geodaze Symposium last week. The UA Department of Geosciences hosted the public colloquium, which ran from Thursday to Friday. Geodaze highlighted the travels and research that students and faculty completed over the past year. Students were able to share their research and receive feedback from the attendees. Participants presented on a wide variety of research topics, including economic geology, climate, paleoclimate, geophysics, geochemistry and plate tectonics. Geosciences senior Jordan Abell was one of the undergraduates who presented his geochemistry research titled “Evidence of Urine in a Neolithic Tell in Relation to Animal Domestication.” Abell and his team explored the domestication of animals at their study site, Asıklı Höyük, Turkey. Abell and his group investigated ion concentrations in a 10-meter mound, composed primarily of trash, from the Neolithic period. While the team attributed some of the ion buildup in the mound to rain, wood ash or human urine, over 75 percent of the ions were not accounted for. “Inventory of nitrate, sodium and chlorine concentrations can be accounted for by caprine and human urination,” Abell said.

“Nitrogen isotope data supports the sourcing from animal waste.” Abell’s group concluded through extensive data analysis that the site showed evidence of early domestication of animals. Simon Stickroth, another Geodaze participant and a geosciences graduate student, presented his tectonics research: “Tracking Exhumation of the Himalayan Fold-Thrust Belt from U-Pb Monazite and Zircon Thermochronology of the Miocene Foreland Basin, Dumri Fm., Western Nepal.” Stickroth and his team aimed to understand the development of the Himalayan fold. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide and rise up into jagged mountains at the boundary of the collision. Geosciences graduate student Kathryn Metcalf focused on a different aspect of earth science research altogether by developing a new approach to organizing and plotting chronometric ages using Matlab, a computer programming language. “Matlab came out of the problem of data management,” Metcalf said. “As we improve our methods, we have doors to better analytical methods, more analytical facilities and increased publications.” Matlab is a powerful and customizable tool for organizing and plotting chronometric ages, according to Metcalf. The eventful Geodaze symposium ended with a keynote address, by Dr. David Bercovici, a professor of geophysics at Yale University, on “The Origin of Plate Tectonics.”

Dr. Michael Worobey, head of the UA Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, recently presented research at the annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston. The CROI website describes this conference as an event that “brings together top [scientists] from around the world to share the latest studies, important developments and best methods in the ongoing battle again HIV/AIDS and related infectious diseases.” The research presented by Worobey, which is in the process of publication, revolves around the movement of HIV to New York in the 1970s and builds on research that disproves the idea that Gaëtan Dugas is “Patient Zero” for HIV in the United States. This research also adds to work already published by Worobey, which concluded the virus came to the U.S. by way of the Caribbean several years before researchers initially thought. The UA researchers acquired eight samples of blood from bisexual and gay men taken in 1978 and 1979, then isolated the virus from the blood, allowing them to restore the HIV genomes. Science magazine states the researchers used a technique called the “molecular clock,” which allowed researchers to assemble a phylogeny of various genetic isolates from the virus and place them in time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention originally labeled Dugas as Patient Zero for the virus in the 1980s because he was connected to a number of the original AIDS cases reported in the United States. The CDC believed they identified Dugas, a flight attendant who worked for Air Canada,

as the individual who brought the HIV virus to the United States from Europe. Dugas was subsequently made infamous in Randy Shilts’ book “And the Band Played On,” published in 1987, as a promiscuous spreader of HIV. Though this misrepresentation of Dugas as Patient Zero has since been refuted, the research recently completed in UA labs offers a greater understanding of the migration of HIV to the United States. The age of the blood samples used in the study made it difficult for the researchers to recover the HIV genetic material necessary to carry out their experiments. However, techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction can make it possible to recover extremely low concentrations of DNA from old biological samples. “PCR allows the amplification, or production in large amounts, of a specific piece of DNA, like a gene,” said Dr. Nadja Anderson, director of the BIOTECH Project. “The technique is powerful enough to analyze whether an individual has a genetic disease from a single cell. Most every laboratory uses PCR for their research or diagnostics.” The results of the study found HIV-1 to show a great deal of genetic diversity in 197879 in the United States, especially in New York City. The authors write in their abstract that by 1970, HIV-1 arose from a founder virus, which came from an older and more diverse subtype of the virus in the Caribbean, concluding there is no evidence that the primary case in the U.S. was Patient Zero. The virus moved to the mainland U.S. through New York City in 1970, placing HIV in the states before Dugas. — Follow Hannah Dinell @hdinell6

ondays are generally regarded as the worst day of the week. The weekend comes to a close and everyone has to go back to work or school. While it might not be everyone’s favorite day of the week, it’s sure becoming the most eventful day of the week for Arizona’s basketball offseason. Exactly one week removed from the news of freshman guard Justin Simon transferring, freshman star Allonzo Trier announced he is returning to the Wildcats for his sophomore season. Trier, an All-Pac-12 Conference Freshman Team selection, played in 27 games this season for the Wildcats, starting in 21 of them and averaging 14.8 points and 3.3 rebounds. His return continues the saga of preparations head coach Sean Miller has been making for next season. Trier took a few games to get settled in at Arizona, but once he did, he ran with the opportunity as a dynamic scorer that could spot up and create his own shot off the dribble, while also possessing a strong ability to drive to the basket. “I am really excited about the quest to become a more complete player,” Trier said in a statement to Arizona Athletics. “I am also excited to develop as a leader and to lock arms with my teammates while competing for championships.” His defense noticeably improved as the season went on. Some work is needed to stop opponents from driving, but his ability to shut down the perimeter improved. Trier’s return also keeps depth at that 2-3 spot the Wildcats have been loading up on recently. With five-star recruits Kobi Simmons and Rawle Alkins already bound for Tucson, Trier will have another season in the desert to blossom. “I am ecstatic about Allonzo’s decision to return to school for his sophomore year,” Miller said.

ARIZONA GUARD Allonzo Trier (11) shoots over a USC player in McKale Center on Sunday, Feb. 14. Trier announced Monday that he will return to the program for his sophomore season.

“I believe he will become one of college basketball’s elite players next season.” While it may seem silly to some that he passed up the NBA , Trier returning for his sophomore year couldn’t be a bigger blessing to the Wildcats. Arizona will be one of the youngest teams in the country next season. Having graduated five seniors this year, Kadeem Allen and Trey Mason will be the only seniors next season. Parker Jackson-Cartwright and Dusan Ristic will be the only juniors. The squad will be young, but a returning Trier brings some much needed experience into

the roster. He has hit big shots at clutch moments for Arizona, most notably against USC with a broken hand, and he knows the sting of the early exit from the NCAA Tournament. If anyone will have something to prove next season, it’s Trier. “During our conversations, Allonzo shared his desire to be a leader on a championship team and to improve his overall game,” Miller said. “By doing so, he puts himself in the best position possible for a very successful NBA future. I have not been around a player that works harder at the game or loves it more than he does.”

Had he had a full healthy season, Trier might have been an even more impressive scoring threat for Arizona. With a full offseason to work on his game, he could be one of the most dynamic scorers in the Pac-12 and even college basketball next year. Trier has a common interest widely shared around Tucson. “I love being at the [UA] and can’t wait for next season to begin,” he said. Neither can we, Allonzo, neither can we. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_hansen42

Softball seeks answers to offensive woes BY Chris Deak

rizona dropped its series to Washington this weekend, winning only the first game. Washington is a top-10 caliber opponent and facing the Huskies on the road was a tough draw for the Wildcats. After winning the series’ opening game, it felt as if Arizona had a chance to take that next step forward with a big series victory over the Huskies. The offense was explosive in the first game, and with their dominant pitching staff, the offense will be the Wildcats’ key element that determines their succes for the rest of the season. However, the offense cooled off in the second and third games and Washington was able to shut down the Wildcats and generate enough runs for two victories. The top of the lineup continues to be the only source of production for the Wildcats offense. Freshman Joelle Krist has stepped up and become an everyday starter at first

base for Arizona. She has now started 10 games with the bulk coming over the past two weeks. Krist is only 6-28 (.214) this season, but three of her six hits have gone for home runs and have provided much needed power at the bottom of the lineup. Starting at the top of the lineup with Mandie Perez (.363), Katiyana Mauga (.326) and Mo Mercado (.378), the Wildcats lineup is as dangerous as any team’s in the Pac-12 Conference. Perez and Mercado have remained consistent throughout the year and have combine for 13 homeruns. Mauga continues to be the focal point of the offense, but was slowed this weekend by the Huskies pitching staff. The second spot in the lineup has seemingly been awarded to Ashleigh Hughes, who is batting .289 and has improved over the last two weeks. When junior Eva Watson makes her full recovery, though, she will likely resume the role. The bottom half of the order remains inconsistent. Junior Alexis Dotson is batting .327, but is last on the team in both RBIs and on-base percentage. Dotson does follow Mauga and Mercado in the order, so it is possible

Philosophy Politics Economics L aw

Dotson could have more RBIs if they didn’t clear the bases before her. Dotson needs to get on base at a higher clip to help support the lineup after her. Krist, Lauren Young, Tamara Statman and Merrilee Miller have a combined average of .234, all following Dotson in the lineup. Getting on base is the most important aspect of the bottom half of the lineup. The ability to earn walks and generate runs with the short game could provide a boost to the top half of the lineup and get them more at-bats. The pitching continues to dominate as Danielle O’Toole and Taylor McQuillin are in true mid-season form. They are at 2.13 and 2.91 respectively in terms of ERA. Even after a tough weekend in Seattle that saw both pitchers have to leave starts early, the Wildcats will lean on the duo for the rest of the year. Consistency from the bottom of their lineup and continued dominance from their pitching staff can get them to Oklahoma City in June. With 20 games to go, the time is now for the Wildcats to find their rhythm. Darien Bakas/The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona men’s and women’s track and field team will be competing in the Jim Click Shootout this weekend. The competition will be coming to the Wildcat as the meet takes place at Roy P. Drachman Stadium in Tucson. Head coach Fred Harvey is happy to host the meet for two reasons: the level of competition and the home-field advantage. “The big significance of the Jim Click Shootout is that the university and Jim Click have allowed us to bring in some of the top conferences in the country,” Harvey said. “In track and field, it is always important to match up with the best competition in the country.” Among the competition this weekend will be Oklahoma State, which features some of the best distance runners in the country, giving Arizona’s own a chance to test themselves. Meanwhile, the Arizona hurdlers will face competition from Iowa and TCU, 9t good times this season. • who have boasted hS na trthe eet •meet ntaking The advantage of rizo place Tucso , A in Tucson is huge, according to Harvey.

“Pau is doing real well this season,” Harvey said. “He will be competing in his first decathlon this meet and we expect him to continue his push forward.” Harvey expects a push forward from Tonnesen, as well as the rest of the team as the outdoor season moves on. “The goal is to continue to get personal bests,” Harvey said. “Overall as a team, the goal is to be in the top five of the conference on both the men’s and women’s side and to finish in the top 20 on both sides in the NCAA outdoor championships.” The women’s team currently sits inside of the nation’s top 25, demonstrating Harvey’s goals for the season are attainable. Look for the Wildcats to continue their transition from the indoor season to the outdoor season with a strong showcase at the Jim Click Shootout on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Competition starts at 11 a.m. on Thursday.

Arizona legend Adia Barnes back to lead women’s basketball BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

Get to know the new Arizona women’s basketball head coach, UA alumna Adia Barnes. Barnes was officially introduced as the program’s head coach at a press conference at McKale Center on Tuesday. Collegiate career Barnes was recruited out of high school by then-Arizona head coach Joan Bonvicini, and ultimately cemented herself as one of the program’s greatest players of all time—if not the best. Barnes was a four-year starter for the Wildcats, a three-time all-conference selection and, after all was said and done, became Arizona’s all-time leading scorer after accumulating 2,237 points in four seasons. She is also the program’s second all-time leading rebounder (921), and ninth on the Pac-12 Conference’s all-time scoring list. The 5-foot-11 Barnes was seen as an undersized post player, but that didn’t stop her from dominating at the college level. “Adia just has a knack for scoring and boarding,” Bonvicini once told the Tucson Citizen. “You can say the same thing about [Charles] Barkleyor whatever. But you put people where they get the job done, and she gets the job done.”

Barnes averaged 15.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game her freshman season, earning a spot on the Pac-10 All-Freshman First Team and being named the conference’s Freshman of the Year. Barnes increased her scoring average to 17.4 points per game her sophomore season, grabbing an average 7.4 rebounds in the process. She helped lead the Wildcats to a Women’s National Invitational Tournament championship, and was named as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. She earned her first nomination to the Pac10’s All-Conference First Team that season, a feat which she would accomplish in each of her final three years at Arizona. Barnes helped lead Arizona to its first NCAA Tournament appearance and win in program history in her junior season. She again increased her scoring output, this time averaging 19.3 points per game, and reeling in a career-high 8.2 rebounds per game. The improvement continued through to her senior season. She scored 21.8 points per game—the most ever by an Arizona player in a season—which led her to be named as the Pac-10 Player of the Year. She is the only Wildcat to ever win the award. “When I first came here, we were not good,” Barnes said. “But then we became a Sweet Sixteen program by the time I graduate.” Arizona finished with a 23-7 overall record,

and a 14-4 conference record. The Wildcats earned a 3-seed in the NCAA Tournament, where they’d advance to the Sweet Sixteen— the farthest the program has ever advanced. Barnes was later inducted into the UA’s Sports Hall of Fame, and is one of four women’s basketball players in the McKale Center Ring of Honor. Professional career Barnes was drafted by the Sacramento Monarchs in the fourth round (32nd overall) of the 1998 WNBA Draft, becoming the first Arizona women’s basketball player to ever be selected by a WNBA team. Barnes played 132 games in the WNBA with four different teams, averaging 3.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in seven seasons. She won a WNBA Championship with the Seattle Storm in 2004. After that season, Barnes played overseas for multiple years with stops in Israel, Turkey, Russia, Italy and the Ukraine. Post-Playing Career Barnes played professionally for 12 seasons, and once her playing career was over, she became a broadcaster. She covered the Seattle Storm, working as TV analyst for NBA TV and FOX Sports Northwest, while also serving as the color commentator for the team’s radio broadcast.

Barnes joined the Washington Huskies’ women’s basketball coaching staff in the 2011-2012 season, specializing in player development. After three seasons with the program, she was promoted to recruiting coordinator, where she managed all aspects of recruiting. During her tenure in Seattle, the Huskies won 20-plus games every year, and in 2016, won 26 games and made it to the Final Four. “She had incredible experience in recruiting, incredible experience in managing budgets,” Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne said. Personal Barnes, 39, was born and raised in San Diego and attended Mission Bay Senior High School. There, she starred as a frontcourt player, blocking a California-record 1,112 shots in her high school career from 1991-1994. She is married to Italian basketball coach Salvo Coppa and is the mother of one son, Matteo.
