Tuition raises concerns The Faculty Senate expressed concerns over the hikes in tuition

BY ALISHA PERERA The Daily Wildcat

The rise in tuition was the main focus of the Faculty Senate when its members gathered on Monday afternoon for their monthly meeting. Graduate and Professional

Student Council representatives and faculty members brought up their concerns in regards to the future of tuition at the UA, given the budget cuts. During the open session of the meeting, GPSC treasurer Jared Brock discussed his meeting two weeks ago in Washington with five other members of GPSC

and a congresswoman from Arizona. During this meeting, they discussed the difference in interest rates among graduate and professional students and undergraduate students. “The 2013-14 school year was the first time in history that graduate professional students were charged a different interest

Arizona Ambassadors provide prospective students and their families with a warm welcome and some UA history to make them feel more at home on campus during their orientations. The UA organization has existed on campus since 1979. Each ambassador memorizes and recites the facts about the UA’s history for thousands of parents, prospective high school students, alumni and other people interested in the UA throughout the year. Some of the locations on the tour include Old Main, the Student Recreation Center, the Main Library and Bear Down Gymnasium where they sing “Bear Down, Arizona,” the UA’s fight song. They give tours around campus Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with about 17 people in each tour. On Saturday, the tours start at 10 a.m. Haley Berner, a nutritional sciences junior and ambassador since fall 2014, became the ambassador president last November. She is in charge of speaking in the monthly meeting, disciplining the other 128 ambassadors and overseeing the rest of the leadership team. Berner said she believes having a positive person who can express a lot of information about the university in a fun way is key to getting freshmen to become Wildcats. “We make or break prospective students’ decision to come here,” Berner said. “I’ve had so many students come up to me and say, ‘I’m coming to the UA because of you.’ We are a huge influence as to how are university is going to turn out and what kind of people are going to come here.” Sydney Werry, a theatre arts senior, has been an ambassador ever since freshman year and is one of the oldest people, both age- and time-wise, in the club.

DREAMers work to attend college BY JOSEPH D’ANDRE

Arizona Sonora News

Every year, roughly 65,000 children who are undocumented citizens, but safe from deportation, graduate from high schools in the U.S. Of these 65,000 students, only around five to 10 percent continue on to college, according to the Immigration Policy Center. In contrast, close to 3.3 million total students are expected to graduate from high schools in the U.S. in 2015, and of those, an estimated 66 percent will continue on to attend college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This number is such a staggering disparity, because the U.S. government does not offer any scholarships to undocumented citizens, even those that are

immune from deportation under President Barack Obama’s deferred action initiative. These undocumented citizens have become known colloquially as DREAMers. They are immigrants brought to the U.S. at a young age, and protected from deportation by the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. According to the Immigration Policy Center, an individual qualifies as a DREAMer if they are “under the age of 31; entered the United States before age 16; have lived continuously in the country for at least five years; have not been convicted of a felony, a ‘significant’ misdemeanor or three other misdemeanors; and are currently in school, graduated

assistant director for the Fred Fox School of Music, questioned how he will be able to inform future students on the amount of scholarship money that would go toward their tuition in the future when tuition keeps on rising. “In my particular department, I have noticed that often times, the students know what tuition is going to be costing them at other schools,” he said. “We have a hard time letting the students know what part of the tuition is going to be covered by scholarship money, because we do not know what is happening to tuition.” Jane Cherry, the senior program coordinator for the faculty center at the UA, assured Paiewonsky that UA finds out their tuition for the coming year relatively earlier than most other public schools and that only private schools would be able to find out much sooner. She also mentioned that there will be a public, open mic tuition hearing on April 20 in the afternoon. The meeting also saw a discussion in regards to another funding question.

prize money to help her and her family move to Washington, where she was accepted for an internship at Western State Hospital as part of completing her Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Matthew Bronnimann, an immunobiology graduate student, and Nina Patrick, a pharmaceutical sciences graduate student, tied for third place and were each awarded a $1,000 prize. Bronnimann presented his research about human papillomavirus, or HPV, which he said causes 99 percent of all cervical cancers worldwide. Bronnimann specifically studies how the virus penetrates the membranes of cells so that it can infect them.

Patrick presented a summary of five years of her work with valproic acid, a therapy for epilepsy patients. She said her research focuses on identifying the cause of rapid weight gain, a side effect of valproic acid, to make it a better treatment. The $3,000, $2,000, and one of the $1,000 awards were provided by the UA Office of Research and Discovery and the University Libraries.

from high school, earned a GED, or served in the military.” Each year, the U.S. Department of Education awards about $150 billion in scholarships to students according to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. However none of that is available to DREAMers. Additionally, only 18 states allow DREAMers to pay in-state tuition. Otherwise, Dreamers have to pay full out of state or international student tuition, even though they live in the state. This is unfair according to Roberto Rodriguez, an award-winning journalist and a Mexican American studies professor at the UA. “All students should be treated equally,” he said. “They should be free to apply to any scholarship. There should be no impediments going to college either because of legislation or due to financial need.” Opponents argue that if the U.S. government were to give undocumented citizens scholarship it would take away from scholarships available for legal citizens. However, there are paths to college available to DREAMers. There are many specialized scholarships available to them that are funded by private donors. For the first time last year, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund made all their scholarships available to DREAMers. “It was amazing,” said Anahi Godinez a director at the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. “The board approved it and about two weeks before our application deadline we worked with partners to get the word out, and a little over 4,000 deferred action students applied.” Each year, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund awards over 5,100 scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000. TheDream.US has been supplying scholarships for DREAMers since 2013 when the founding board members realized that every year,

DREAMers were applying for scholarships but were being denied despite impressive academic records. TheDream.US works together with partner colleges across the nation to pay up to $25,000 for a DREAMer’s bachelor degree program, and its plan is to supply at least 2,000 exceptionally motivated and achieving DREAMers with scholarships over the next decade. Gaby Pacheco, the program director at TheDream.US, knows all too well what it is like to be an undocumented citizen attempting to attend college. Pacheco immigrated to the U.S. from Ecuador at the age of eight. “I was told by my high school counselor that I wasn’t going to be able to attend college and that I couldn’t apply to any schools,” Pacheco said. “She said I was going to get my family in trouble. She said that I had to realize college wasn’t an option.” Although Pacheco said her counselor told her this with a lot of love and fear, Pacheco could not accept this. She was motivated and a high achiever. “For me, it hurt, but it was what allowed me to feel I needed to prove her and everyone else wrong,” she said. “I went to college, and it was very, very difficult. Many times, I paid the whole tuition, but I did begin receiving scholarships.” However, Pacheco could not have done it on her own. “My whole family and community rallied around me,” she said. Support is one of the most important needs for DREAMers seeking to attend college, and scholarship funds such as TheDream.US and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund supply that. “A piece that is impactful is the access to resources, mentorship and leadership,” Godinez said. Although Obama’s deferred action initiative and DREAM Act is not yet the solution that everyone can agree upon, it has provided undocumented citizens with hope and a path to college and citizenship.

White House defends Iran deal TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — The White House on Monday redoubled efforts to tout a proposed nuclear deal with Iran as a “forever agreement” that comes with unprecedented transparency, a pledge that remains a hard sale to Israel and Saudi Arabia, the two closest U.S. allies in the Middle East. Those two countries, the regional powers most preoccupied with Iran’s nuclear ambitions, offered reactions Monday that suggested lingering skepticism, but neither called for torpedoing the deal. On the heels of an extensive weekend interview with The New York Times, President Barack Obama taped an interview with NPR in which he hammered home the administration’s message that the deal is unmatched in the scope of inspections, is built on real-life restrictions rather than trust and that any sanctions relief could be reversed if Tehran doesn’t uphold its end of the agreement. He also said requiring Iran to recognize Israel as part of the deal would be a “fundamental misjudgment.” “We want Iran not to have nuclear weapons precisely because we can’t bank on the nature of the regime changing,” he told NPR. “If suddenly Iran transformed itself to Germany or Sweden or France, then there would be a different set of conversations about their nuclear infrastructure.” Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, who was among the chief negotiators of the nuclear framework last week in the Swiss city of Lausanne, appeared Monday at the White House briefing to address criticism — from home and abroad — that the framework is long on trust and short on details, specifically about whether international inspectors can examine any Iranian nuclear facility at any time. Israel on Monday listed a set of changes it seeks in a final agreement, including ending research and development work on advanced centrifuges, closing the underground facility at Fordow, disclosing past nuclear developments that could have military dimensions, and

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA makes a statement after Iran and and six world powers agreed on the outlines of an understanding that would open the path to a final phase of nuclear negotiations in the press briefing at the White House on April 2 in Washington, D.C.

allowing inspectors to go anywhere, anytime in Iran to verify the accord. Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s minister for intelligence and strategic affairs, said the changes would fill gaps in the proposed deal that would make it “more reasonable.” But the list of change was especially notable because it fell well short of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s previous demand that Iran’s nuclear program be completely dismantled as an existential threat to Israel. Instead, they appeared designed to counter accusations from Washington that Israel has offered no alternative to the preliminary agreement. Steinitz said that Israel would try to persuade the U.S. and other world powers “not to sign this bad deal or at least to dramatically change or fix it.” Iran’s neighbor and archenemy,

Saudi Arabia, also took a publicly more conciliatory view toward the agreement on Monday, with the Saudi Cabinet issuing a statement that “expressed hope that a final, binding and definitive agreement would be reached leading to the strengthening of security and stability” in the region and globally. The statement seemed to adopt the position that Iran can have a nuclear program, saying the kingdom supports the right of states to pursue the peaceful use of nuclear energy, though it prefers the Arab League goal of a Middle East free from weapons of mass destruction — a repetition of the perennial jab at Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal. The Saudi statement also held implicit messages for Iran about the ongoing sectarian-tinged conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, calling for

a commitment “to the principles of good neighborliness and noninterference in the internal affairs of the Arab countries and respect of their sovereignty.” Saudi Arabia and Iran back opposing factions in all three wars. In Washington, Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir sounded more hesitant about the accord, saying that the Saudis want to “see what happens in terms of the details.” “There’s still a lot of work to be done, as American officials have said, in a number of areas, and it is not a foregone conclusion that there will be a deal in the end,” the ambassador told a small group of reporters at a briefing at Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Washington. “We hope that there will be a deal based on principles that the U.S. government has articulated to us.”

The tentative agreement reached with Iran by the U.S. and five other world powers requires Iran to reduce by about two-thirds the number of its installed centrifuges for enriching uranium. Iran also is supposed to stop enriching uranium at the Fordow facility for at least 15 years and convert it into a research center for peaceful purposes, redesign its heavy water research reactor at Arak so that it won’t produce weaponsgrade plutonium, and allow international inspectors access to its nuclear facilities and supply chain. In return, the U.S. and other nations would lift economic sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy. The parties have agreed to a June 30 deadline for a final accord.

Rolling Stone article receives further criticism TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Rolling Stone fell under continued criticism Monday after the authors of a damning outside investigation refused to blame the magazine’s primary source for a widely discredited rape story, and a University of Virginia fraternity announced plans to pursue legal action. Virginia’s governor even joined in the criticism, calling Rolling Stone’s story an “abject failure of accountability in journalism.” The fallout comes a day after the venerable alternative magazine retracted and apologized for its November exposé about an alleged gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity after an outside review by the Columbia Journalism School found deep flaws in the story. “The report by Columbia University’s School of Journalism demonstrates the reckless nature in which Rolling Stone researched and failed to verify facts in its article that erroneously accused Phi Kappa Psi of crimes its members did not commit,” Stephen Scipione, president of the Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, said in a statement provided to the Los Angeles Times. The fraternity said it planned to pursue “all available legal action” against the magazine. “This type of reporting serves as a sad example of a serious decline of journalistic standards,” Scipione said. Neither police in Charlottesville nor the Columbia University report found evidence that a rape happened at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity as originally reported in the Rolling Stone story. “The abject failure of accountability in journalism that led to Rolling Stone’s ‘A Rape on Campus’ article has done untold damage to the University of Virginia and our Commonwealth as a whole,” Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said in a Monday statement. “More importantly, this false account has been an unnecessary and dangerous distraction from real efforts to combat sexual violence on our college campuses.” At a livestreamed news conference in New York on Monday, the authors

of the Columbia Journalism School report placed the blame on the magazine’s reporting and editorial processes, not on the student, “Jackie,” whose account of the rape failed to hold up to basic scrutiny after Rolling Stone published its story. “This failure was not the subject or source’s fault as a matter of journalism,” Columbia University Journalism School dean Steve Coll told reporters. “It was a product of failed methodology. … We disagree with any suggestion that this was Jackie’s fault.” Sheila Coronel, a dean of academic affairs at Columbia University, said she and the other authors of the independent report decided not to fully identify the student known as Jackie, even though her allegations of an alleged gang rape at a fraternity house have been widely questioned. “There was no reason for us to make known her true identity,” Coronel said. Although Rolling Stone’s systemic breakdowns in verification and attribution mark one of the ugliest blemishes in the magazine’s sometimes storied history, Rolling Stone’s publisher had no plans to fire any of the editors or the writer involved with the story, a spokeswoman confirmed to the Los Angeles Times on Sunday. The Los Angeles Times requested interviews with Rolling Stone’s publisher, Jann S. Wenner, and its managing editor, Will Dana, but through a spokeswoman, both declined to be interviewed. The Columbia report’s authors found no instances of fabrication or lying on the part of Rolling Stone, which requested and cooperated with the Columbia Journalism School’s inquiry. Through a spokeswoman, Erdely declined an interview request Sunday evening, but she apologized in a statement after the Columbia report was published, calling the last few months “among the most painful of my life. Reading the Columbia account of the mistakes and misjudgments in my reporting was a brutal and humbling experience.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MURDER DEFENDANT CRAIG Stephen Hicks, 46, left, listens while his co-defense counsel Terry Alford makes notes during a Monday death penalty hearing for Hicks in Durham, N.C. Presiding Judge Orlando Hudson found that the shooting deaths of three Muslim college students at Finley Forest residential complex in Chapel Hill in February 2015 made the Hicks case eligible for the death penalty.

Death penalty sought for Chapel Hill shooter TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM, N.C. — A judge will allow prosecutors to pursue the death penalty against Craig Stephen Hicks, the man charged in the Chapel Hill, N.C., shootings that sparked global debate about whether the motive was escalation of a parking dispute or a hate crime perpetrated in cold blood. Hicks, 46, is accused of murdering Deah Barakat, 23; his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19. The killings occurred late in the afternoon of Feb. 10 in the Finley Forest condominium complex on the eastern edge of Chapel Hill. On Monday, Jim Dornfried, a Durham County assistant district attorney, provided Judge Orlando Hudson several reasons for prosecutors’ plans to seek capital punishment. Hicks, according to prosecutors, retrieved a gun from inside his home on Feb. 10, then went to his neighbors’ door and had an exchange with Barakat. “He pulled out his concealed firearm,” Dornfried said, shot Barakat and then shot the women who were further inside. The women were still alive, Dornfried said, when the accused shot them again in the head and fired at Barakat on the way out of the condominium.

As news spread quickly and globally on social media about the violent deaths of the three collegeaged Muslims, questions grew about whether the motive for the killings was religious bias. Federal investigators are conducting an inquiry into whether case evidence supports federal hate-crime charges, which are very specific and difficult to prove. In such cases, where religious bias is alleged, the religion of the victims must be the predominant motivating factor for the crimes for a successful prosecution, legal scholars have said. Though Durham prosecutors often push for the death penalty as an option, few Durham juries have been asked in recent years to consider capital punishment. Prosecutors often use the possibility of death to negotiate pleas that avoid the cost, time and emotional strain of a trial. None of the 149 North Carolina inmates currently on death row was convicted in Durham. The homicides happened in a sliver of Durham County that falls within Chapel Hill city limits. Hicks, an unemployed community college student, lived in a secondstory unit at 270 Summerwalk Circle. His wife of seven years owned the condominium when they married. Inside, he had a stash of guns that police seized during their investigation, according to search warrants.

In 2013, Barakat’s father bought 272 Summerwalk Circle, a groundlevel unit on the north side of the building where Hicks lived, so his son, a dental student at the UNCChapel Hill, could live and study there while in school. After a wedding in Raleigh on Dec. 27, Barakat and his new bride made the condominium their home. Razan, the younger sister of Yusor, had driven from Raleigh to Chapel Hill the afternoon of the shootings for a dinner date with the two. Family of the couple said they had taken steps early in the year to appease their angry neighbor, who often patrolled the parking lot with a gun in a holster on his hip. Search warrants from the case show that Hicks kept pictures and detailed notes on parking activity in the condominium complex. It’s unclear what else investigators have discovered in the computers and phones seized in the hours and days after the killings. Since his arrest, Hicks has been in Central Prison in Raleigh, where jailers can keep him isolated from others and in what they describe as “safekeeping.” Family, friends and strangers inspired by the communitymindedness of the victims have worked since their deaths to honor their legacies with numerous charitable efforts.

Women candidates not always pro-woman BY jacob winkelman The Daily Wildcat

W

hile the Democratic Party has an assumed presidential nominee in Hillary Clinton, the Republican Party continues to prepare for what will inevitably be a long and feisty primary battle. More than a dozen Republicans are already presumptive candidates. Yet, until last week, not one of these original presumed candidates were women. This with the announcement by former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina, on “Fox News Sunday,” that she placed her odds of running for president at “higher than 90 percent.” While this still falls short of an official declaration, most pundits now consider Fiorina a candidate for the Republican nomination. Readers should note, however, that Fiorina is probably not going to win it. For one thing, nobody besides political junkies and dedicated viewers of Fox News knows who she is, and those who do don’t support her. A recent poll from Politico showed Fiorina receiving just 2 percent of Republican votes in a hypothetical primary. That puts her ahead of Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina but behind 10 other candidates. So instead of talking about Fiorina’s complete lack of political experience or the 30,000 American jobs she outsourced during her time as CEO, this article will instead focus on another topic, since Fiorina’s presidency is unlikely to ever come to fruition. How will a woman entering the GOP field for president impact the debates, political ads and outcomes of the 2016 election? But first, a necessary caveat. “Most people probably want to see where the candidates stand on the issues that they care about rather than assume they know based on demographics,” writes Patricia Maccorquodale, dean of the UA Honors College, in an email. The above question is not meant to insinuate women will automatically vote for a woman candidate, or that Fiorina’s candidacy will be more centered on stereotypical “women and children” issues. Rather, if past patterns are indicators of future actions, the GOP will use the mere existence of a woman candidate as proof that its platform should appeal to women. Or at the very least, that Democrats have no right to accuse the Republican Party of being anti-women. After all, how can an anti-woman party possibly have a woman candidate? For example, Congresswoman Martha McSally from Tucson ran on an aggressively conservative platform in 2014. She is against legal abortion, with no clear stance on whether she even believes in exceptions for cases of rape and incest; she is against the Affordable Care Act that contains numerous profamily policies, including coverage for maternity leave and family planning; and she is part of a party whose platform is against passing an equal pay for equal work amendment. McSally has an inspiring personal story and history of military service, but simply being a woman or a woman who fought in the military doesn’t make her a champion of women’s rights. Unfortunately, McSally is not an outlier when it comes to womancentered policies in the GOP. The Republican Platform outlines a complete ban on abortions and an application of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to fetuses. (But not, of course, to LGBTQ adults, including lesbians or bisexual and transgender women.) Additionally, Republicans in Congress have blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act four times. Despite attesting to support equal pay for equal work, the actions of Republican leadership sends a different message. From a Democratic perspective, the announcement of Fiorina running for president is not worrisome because she poses a legitimate threat to the presidency. Rather, her candidacy means that the GOP will attempt to distract voters from their inequitable platform with the presence of a female candidate. Hopefully, voters can look past the demographics of the contenders and instead consider the merit of the policies and ideas set forth by each candidate.

Reject homonormativity in LGBTQ rights movement BY tom johnson

The Daily Wildcat

R

ecently, Alabama was the 37th state in the Union to approve gay marriage. “This is excellent; homophobia is over!” people have begun saying, until they realize that, in 29 states, citizens can still be legally fired from their jobs for being gay or being perceived as gay. In 33, citizens can still be fired for their gender identity. There are several issues more significant to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning rights movement — from the genital mutilation of intersex people, homelessness among LGBTQ youth, access to health care, and the lack of comprehensive and LGBTQfriendly sex education in schools. So, why is marriage still considered the “keystone” issue of the LGBTQ movement by so many? Let me introduce a

little thing known as “homonormativity,” the idea that there is an “acceptable” way to be gay, and that way is to be white, male and upper middle class. Given that there are a bunch of people who are suffering in ways directly contradictory to this image, there is a problem here. One can see visible evidence in transphobic gay “spokesperson” Dan Savage and, though I love them, “mainstream” gay couples like Ellen and Portia, or Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka getting major media exposure, while the darker, poorer and more transgender sides of the LGBTQ community get left out. We could even talk about how our own LGBTQ center leaves out Intersex and Asexual people from its name. While the dialogue has been showing up more and more recently, the concept has been talked about since the 1990s by trans rights advocates angry that their issues have been getting buried. This steamrolls other people who need help under a desire to be “acceptable.” News outlets and blogs such as

Everyday Feminism who call this a “betrayal” of the radical roots of the LGBTQ movement could be dismissed as, well, radicals. But they have a point when so many LGBTQ people are suffering in ways the mainstream gay movement doesn’t touch. Look at the case of Blake Brockington, a black transgender man who was disowned by his family and yet still managed to be a high achiever — an activist, model student and even homecoming king. But, despite all he accomplished, he ended up falling into despair and committing suicide, like so many other trans people. Or look at the case of Jennifer Gale, who was left to die in the cold by the Salvation Army due to their anti-gay and anti-trans policies. Or look at all the cases of doctors mutilating intersex infants’ genitalia without informed parental consent for the sake of making them “normal”. These are not the shiny, photogenic, white upperclass folks the arbiters of homonormativity would call “normal.” No wonder their

stories aren’t told through the media. We need to have this discussion in LGBTQ circles about how to help people like Brockington. At one point, it might have been justifiable to keep this discussion within smaller circles due to the need for “unity,” but that time is past, and we need to further push the circle to open it up to more people. “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it” should not come with an asterisk next to it. Otherwise, we’ll stagnate just like other social movements have. When full marriage equality is achieved — most likely this summer — people will undoubtedly turn to LGBTQ people and ask, “Aren’t you happy already?” But the answer will be no, because married LGBTQ people can still be fired, murdered and turned away from homeless shelters.

Needle exchanges poke at foes BY maddie pickens The Daily Wildcat

I

ndiana Gov. Mike Pence is probably tired of making national headlines. Yet Indiana, amidst controversial religious freedom laws and feticide rulings, is also dealing with a different crisis: the HIV outbreak in the southeastern part of the state. Pence was forced to declare a public health emergency, as 79 cases of HIV have been identified since December 2014. As all 79 cases were linked to intravenous drug use, Pence also authorized a 30-day program allowing drug users to trade in their used needles for clean ones. This is a surprisingly progressive step for a conservative leader who has been very vocal about his opposition to these types of programs. However, the program is fairly limited. For one thing, it’s only authorized for the part of Indiana experiencing the HIV outbreak. For another, it’s authorized for only 30 days, a questionable amount of time for the program to take hold. Given the data on the effectiveness of these programs, it’s truly surprising that they are not being implemented more widely. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the American Medical Association and the World Health Organization are just some organizations

to provide visibility and encouragement for rehabilitation. Arizona laws on needle exchanges, meanwhile, are somewhat ambiguous. While the possession or distribution of drug paraphernalia (including syringes) is banned, the programs can still exist with law enforcement approval. Currently, the Harm Reduction Coalition boasts three needle exchange programs in Tucson. Tom Hill, who runs a homeless feeding program in downtown Tucson, commented on the specific need for these programs here in Arizona, saying “needle exchange programs … are desperately necessary.” “Tucson is in the middle of a huge increase in heroin use and, consequently, a dramatic increase in the spread of blood-borne diseases like HIV, Hepatitis C and MRSA,” Hill said. “According to our latest interviews with guests at our Sunday program, nearly 20 percent are now infected with Hepatitis C. That’s devastating.” In short, not only have needle exchange programs been proven to work, but they are also growing increasingly necessary on a national level. Perhaps opponents of these programs need to acquaint themselves more with the data behind them. In the meantime, Pence should ask himself whether 30 days is really enough time to slow the spread of the HIV epidemic in his state.

advocating for syringe exchange. The data is not even ambiguous. Needle exchange programs slow and even prevent the spread of HIV and other needletransmitted diseases. So, why are many public leaders — generally conservatives — still against these programs? Perhaps it’s out of a stubbornly misplaced sense of moral purity, or perhaps it’s the idea that drug addicts deserve the consequences of their decisions. Those consequences have great gravity, however, when they involve a case of HIV or Hepatitis C. They’re also more expensive for taxpayers to treat; the Surgeon General reported in 1998 that the cost of treating a someone infected with HIV is roughly three times the cost of funding syringe exchange programs. It’s important to note that HIV is not the only threat to a drug addict; collapsed veins, overdose or a contaminated sample present ample danger as well. Therein lies perhaps the best argument against these programs: They are not addressing the root of the problem but are perpetuating the abuse that causes it. As the Washington Examiner quotes Dr. Scott Teitelbaum, director of the University of Florida-run Florida Recovery Center, “Putting a needle in your arm is not recovery.” However, this is not entirely correct, as studies have also shown that providing sterile equipment to intravenous drug users does not increase their drug usage and actually increases the likelihood that they will seek help for their addiction. Moreover, pairing these exchanges with other state-sponsored treatment programs could be a great way

POLICE BEAT BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

Double trouble

Two men caused trouble at Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall after being asked to leave on March 22 at 10:07 p.m. The resident assistant who spoke to the University of Arizona Police Department officers said the men used to live in Room B112 and were eventually evicted but continued to return, causing trouble. UAPD was called twice for prior incidents, but the men always escaped before officers arrived. A UAPD officer knocked on the B112 room door, and two UA students answered and claimed to be nonresidents. The men said the resident went to Highland Market, and they were unsure when he would return. The officer asked the men if they were alone, and they said yes; two other men were seen in the bathroom. All were asked to step out into the hallway and sit down. Only two men had their identification. The RA identified the unknown men as the two who had been previously evicted and received several warnings not to return to Colonia de la Paz. A check revealed the UA student identified as causing trouble had a UA warrant for failing to appear on another charge he received. The non-UA-affiliated man causing trouble showed signs of alcohol consumption with his red watery eyes, slurred speech and a strong smell coming from his mouth. The officer contacted the Community Director and asked if Residence Life wanted the two men arrested for trespassing. The director called her supervisor, who wanted both men arrested. They were arrested on charges of first degree criminal trespassing. The non-UA-affiliated man was also arrested on a charge of minor in possession, and the student was arrested on a charge of failing to appear for the UAPD warrant. Both were transported to Pima County Jail and booked on charges.

Altoids, anyone?

A UA student was busted by UAPD for smoking marijuana in the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on March 22 at 10:27 p.m. UAPD officers arrived on the scene and were escorted to Room 406 by the RA. They started to smell burnt marijuana around the frame of the closed room door. The officers went around and smelled other door frames in the area to make sure the smell wasn’t coming from another location. An officer knocked on the door, and a UA student who lived in the room answered. Immediately, the officer noticed the man had red eyes, and the marijuana smell became stronger as he entered the room. In the refrigerator, the officer found a red and white Altoids tin box. It contained three plastic cigarella mouth pieces, half of a cigarella and ashes. The student said he mixed marijuana inside the cigarellas and smoked them. He told the officers he bought the marijuana on “the street” from an unknown individual. The man was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of drug paraphernalia. The Altoids tin box and other contents were put into UAPD Property and Evidence.

A

rizona softball did more than take care of business when it travelled to Corvallis, Ore., for a three-game series with the Oregon State Beavers. The Wildcats dominated. Despite battling with rain delays and foggy weather, the Wildcats controlled the series in all aspects by slugging together 38 runs over three games and limiting Oregon State to nothing but a few solitary offensive outbursts. Arizona even set a program record for most runs scored in a road game, when the UA defeated the Beavers 22-3 to close out the series sweep on Saturday. It was the Wildcats’ first road conference sweep since 2011. For a group that has struggled with consistency this year, the sweep serves as an encouraging sign going forward. In particular, the Arizona staff has to be pleased with pitcher Michelle Floyd’s weekend. The sophomore tossed 11 innings total, including a complete game on Saturday in which she gave up just two runs. While Floyd may not fit the prototypical ace role, her improving efficiency on the mound usually puts the Wildcats in a good position to win. Freshman Trish Parks also put together a strong series, earning victories Friday (in relief of Floyd) and game number two on Saturday. With one of the nation’s tophitting offenses behind them, Floyd and Parks don’t have to be perfect every time out. They need to keep Arizona in striking distance, and right now, they are more than fulfilling that role. Speaking of the Wildcats’

offense, it seems like no one in the conference can slow Arizona’s barrage of power hitters. With the help of some poor Oregon State pitching, the UA hit seven homers over the three games. And not only are the Wildcats hitting the ball over the fence, they are also doing so with runners on base. In the series opener, Arizona shortstop Kellie Fox sent out a gametying two-run homer that would propel Arizona to a big rally. In game two, UA catcher Chelsea Goodacre delivered a three-run homer to break things open. Then in the finale, the Wildcats hit not one but two grand slams to cap off the fireworks. The grand slams belonged to Goodacre and UA outfielder Katiyana Mauga, who each have 16 homers on the season. Goodacre also increased her RBI count to 62, the most in the country. Capitalizing with runners in scoring position is still a work-inprogress for the UA, but the power display against the Beavers signals Arizona is in the right direction. Whether the trio of wins proves to be a turning point or whether it was just another beat-down of a much inferior opponent, Arizona looks the part of a Pac-12 Conference title contender — at least when everything is clicking. Currently, the Wildcats are tied for second in the conference standings, three-and-a-half games behind topranked Oregon. The two teams will face each other on the last weekend of the regular series when the Ducks travel to Tucson. Of course, there’s a lot of time between now and then. Things pick back up this weekend when Arizona hosts nationally ranked Washington for a three-game series. SYDNEY RICHARDSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

The Blue Devils won with only eight scholarship players, and their bench outscored Wisconsin’s 18-7. “They showed such grit [Monday] night,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said on CBS. “Our bench was spectacular, and like we said about two months ago, ‘eight is enough,’ eight is enough.” With their highly touted freshmen of Okafor and Winslow sentenced to the bench for a portion of the game, a couple of rookie guards stepped up: Grayson Allen and Tyus Jones, the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player award winner. Allen scored 16 points, 10 in the second half, and Jones scored 23 points, with 19 coming in the second half. “We were kind of dead in the water,” Krzyzewski said. “We were nine points down, and Grayson just put us on his back, and then once he got us in striking distance, we just said, ‘Tyus, run high ball screens and be you.’ That’s great coaching, I guess.” Wisconsin lost despite a doubledouble from Badger forward Frank Kaminsky, who finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds.

MEN’S GOLF

UA finishes invitational in ninth place BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona men’s golf team finished Saturday in ninth place at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe. Arizona played three rounds in two days and shot an overall 866 (+26). For the second time this season, Arizona coach Jim Anderson installed four freshmen into the starting lineup and recovered from the horrific performance in Palo Alto, Calif., from last weekend. “We showed a lot of inexperience and immaturity, but we finally started to come together as a team, especially in the second round,” Anderson said. “We played four freshmen, and it’s tough with a lineup like that, but we came together, and I was pleased with our guys.”

The first day was extremely different from the road trip to The Goodwin, and Arizona desperately needed to play solid golf, as the Wildcats are nearing the Pac-12 Championships at the end of April. The Wildcats were lead by freshman George Cunningham, who finished tied for seventh after the opening day and was the only Wildcat to place in the top 20. Cunningham has been the leader of this young Wildcat squad and needed to show that he could compete amongst the cream of the crop in the Pac-12 Conference. Cunningham had to deal with the hype around talented ASU junior Jon Rahm headed into the tournament, considering Rahm is the reigning Thunderbird Invitational winner. Rahm even set a school and tournament record for final score recorded over 54 holes by shooting

21-under-par in 2014. Another Sun Devil that stood in the way of Cunningham winning the event was junior Max Rottluff, who finished in second place behind Rahm at the Duck Inviational in Eugene, Ore. Cunningham carded a 71 on the first round and a 68 on the second round, which boosted the freshman into the top 10 (-1). The other freshmen battled early after Max Donohue and Peter Koo carded a score of 147 strokes (+7) and tied for 52nd place. Senior Brenden Redfern finished in 58th place at 148 strokes (+8) after day one. The second day and final round of the Thunderbird Invitational was all about Donohue, as the freshman carded a 68 (-2) despite the poor opening round of 79. Donohue would go on to finish with his best overall tournament

score as a Wildcat with 215 strokes (+5). He tied with Cunningham in 28th place after Cunningham shot 76 (+6) on Saturday. “I was really happy for Max, and for him to go out and post two rounds of 68 really shows how talented he is,” Anderson said. “He works just as hard as anyone else, so this was a solid tournament for Max.” Redfern shot his best personal score of the tournament by shooting even-par. The first day of the tournament, however, hurt the senior on the individual leader board, and he placed 43rd overall at 8-over-par. Koo and Jacob Kreuz would stay above par as they both shot 8-overpar in the final round. Koo finished with 225 total strokes (+15) and ended the tournament in 68th place, while Kreuz finished in 59th place after shooting 222 (+12).

Kentucky had just lost to Wisconsin in the Final Four, and the Wildcats were at the podium. Kentucky big man Karl AnthonyTowns was asked about Wisconsin forward Frank Kaminsky, and Kentucky guard Aaron Harrison muttered “Fuck that n****” under his breath. That lack of judgment and sportsmanship made national news, and Harrison issued an apology. Not a great way to compound losing with embarrassment.

MLB pitchers

Several up-and-coming MLB starting pitchers have received lucrative extensions in the last few days. Cleveland extended ace Corey Kluber and young stud Carlos Carrasco, Boston gave Rick Porcello four years and Kansas City locked up young ace Yordano Ventura for the foreseeable future. Porcello got the biggest deal at $82.5 million, and Carrasco got the smallest deal of the bunch at $22 million. It pays to be good at baseball.

Those who backed Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats were the odds on favorite to win the 2015 National Championship. Fans were so confident in the Wildcats, they got championship tattoos and even picked Kentucky over the field. Well, things didn’t work out exactly as planned, and it hurt more than just Kentucky fans. According to an ESPN article, it’s estimated that the loss cost retailers as much as $15 million in gear that won’t be sold, and the University of Kentucky as much as $1.5 million in royalty fees. That’s a whole lot of cash not coming the Wildcats’ way.

Paul George

It was just over eight months ago when Indiana Pacers forward Paul George broke his leg in a Team USA scrimmage on national television. Rumors spread of George missing the entire 2014-2015 season and rightfully so. However, George completed his comeback on Sunday, scoring 13 points against the Miami Heat in his season debut. Look for PG13 to make an impact on Indiana’s playoff push.

Anderson said his team has made changes in the lineup many times this season that should help the Wildcats in the long term. “We looked up at the scoreboard, and we knew we’re better than ninth place,” Anderson said, “but that’s the price we have to pay when playing four freshmen in the starting lineup.” The Wildcats will travel to Santa Cruz, Calif., to compete in the Western Intercollegiate on Saturday and Sunday.

9. Washington State (14-16, 3-9) The Cougars have lost 10 of their last 12, but they shocked California on the road to win their last series. Wazzu snapped a nine-game losing streak at Cal, a team that was ranked by at least one poll. Last week: 11th, WWL at California 4-2, 4-0, 6-2 This week: at Gonzaga (15-16, 5-7 WCC) (one game), at Washington (1812, 5-7) 10. Oregon (18-15, 2-7) Remember when Oregon was ranked? That seems like ages ago after it got swept at home by Michigan State (15-14) and lost seven of its last eight. Last week: eighth, W vs. Seattle 4-0, LLL vs. Michigan State 2-1 (11), 9-4, 7-4 This week: at Portland (7-26, 2-10 WCC) (one game), vs. Oregon State (229, 5-4) 11. Stanford (11-17, 0-9) Since beating then-No. 12 Texas, the Cardinal lost 11 of its last 13. It seems Stanford couldn’t buy a conference win. Last week: 10th, W vs. San Francisco 5-3, LLL vs. Washington 4-2, 13-1, 5-0 This week: Pacific (6-23, 5-7 WCC) (two games), at California (21-9, 8-4)

championship game since Carmelo Anthony did it for Syracuse in 2003. The Badgers shot 33.3 percent from beyond the arc, unlike the 66.7 percent they shot from three in their 85-78 win over Arizona in the Elite Eight. They shot 41.2 percent from deep in their 71-64 win over Kentucky. “They played great, great defense,” Krzyzewski said. “If we don’t get stops, we don’t win the game.” The Badgers faced the toughest possible road to the championship after the second round: eighthseeded Oregon, No. 4 seed North Carolina, No. 2 seed Arizona, overall No. 1 seed Kentucky and another No. 1 seed, Duke.

The Badgers’ run was much like Duke’s run in 1991, except for the end result. After UNLV spanked the Blue Devils 103-73 in the 1990 National Championship game, Duke ended the Runnin’ Rebels undefeated season in the 1991 rematch. “We beat a great team, a great program and one of the best guys in coaching, in Bo Ryan,” Krzyzewski said about Wisconsin and their coach. The game was tied 31-31 at halftime, the first time the National Championship game has been tied at halftime since 1988. There were five ties and 16 lead changes. While the Badgers had a nice lead, they just didn’t have enough to finish off a third straight top-two seed in a row, missing seven of their last nine field goals and letting the Blue Devils

close the game on a 12-5 run. “My teammates and my coaching staff, they’ve given me confidence and they believed in me and trusted in me all year, and there’s never been a moment where they doubt me,” Jones said on CBS about his second half. Duke had some help from the referees but won Krzyzewski’s fifth national title, second only to former UCLA coach John Wooden. “Man, I love these guys; I love being a part of this program,” Duke captain Quinn Cook said. “It’s been the best four years of my life, a true blessing — and dreams come true and all work pays off, and this is an example.” TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

would be better described as “binge bellies” since how you drink plays a significant role in where you gain weight. A University College of London study found that binge drinkers were not necessarily heavier than those who did not binge – they just had more belly fat. Similarly, research on almost 30,000 people in Russia found that drinking large amounts of alcohol in a single session is the likely cause of an expanding waistline, particularly for women, rather than more steady drinking over time. In men who binge drink, there is a general two inch increase in waist size. Women, however, are prone to gaining about four. But for both sexes, it’s not just the volume that leads to weight gain, it’s the pattern. Excessive drinking results in weight gain. Our body converts alcohol into acetate which is used for energy. The problem is that when acetate is being used for energy, fat is not. Therefore, the more alcohol you drink, the more acetate your body will have to burn, the less stored fat you use, and the more you will accumulate fat. Utilizing acetate also causes blood sugar levels to swing, which can trigger hunger and a desire to eat more. By lowering our inhibitions, alcohol can further lead to weight gain. It is safe to say that if you’ve seen significant weight gain in the abdominal region from drinking alcohol, you may want to consider moderating your intake. So what can you do? The obvious answer is reducing the amount of alcohol you drink. Become aware of the empty calories of your favorite beverage. A twelve ounce bottle of light beer contains 100-110 calories compared to 150 or more in regular beer. A four oz. mojito is about 200 calories less than a four oz. margarita. A five oz. glass of wine has 100 calories. There are 179 calories in one Red Bull and Vodka which would take you 30 minutes in generalized activity at the gym to burn off. After moderating alcohol intake, cardio activity is the second most significant thing you can do to reduce unwanted belly fat. Reducing the amount of calories coming in is more efficient in reducing belly fat than doing a zillion crunches.

HBO doc ‘clears’ up Scientology Prison camps and dubious taxexempt status of church put on blast BY Mia moran

The Daily Wildcat

W

hen Scientology is brought to the attention of many people, the image that comes to mind may be an elitist, Hollywood-driven fad that celebrities embrace just like dried placenta pills and steaming one’s vagina. But the perception that only rich eccentrics subscribe to the religion is false. As seen in HBO’s latest documentary, “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” the major cult in popular culture isn’t the fictional apocalyptic mole women of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”: It’s Scientology. The story of Scientology is the story of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Essentially, Hubbard’s success comes from his ability to turn his science fiction and fantasy novels into a marketable religious practice. He created a system called Dianetics, a self-help cure-all for all mental health issues from anxiety to claims the therapy could “cure” homosexuality and drug addiction. With an addition of spirituality to the Dianetics doctrine and the goal of curing all ails of the mind to reach a higher plane of existence, the Church of Scientology was founded in the 1950s. The adoption of Dianetics into Scientology turned into a process called “auditing.” Members of the church are required to go into sessions where they discuss their problems with trained “auditors,” who take notes of the person’s responses and the E-meter, or the Hubbard electropsychometer. The E-meter claims to measure people’s “reactive mind” by forcing the person being audited to repeat a memory or issue until the meter

Courtesty of Prometheus Pictures

The Pacific Area Command Base of the Church of Scientology, referred to as “Big Blue” due to its exterior color, is located in Los Angeles. “Going Clear,” the new documentary from HBO, holds the organization and its questionable practices under the microscope.

doesn’t register a reaction. The goal is that, after years of auditing sessions, the individual will become completely clear and achieve the status of “Operating Thetan,” a free spiritual being. Fair enough. One can see why people would seek out this philosophy in hopes that their conscience would be clear and rise to another level of being, even if the science behind it is no more than the pure invention of its founder. The many former Scientology members interviewed in the film explain this is what initially attracted them to the religion (along with rumors that members of the church could perform magic and sorcery, of course). But moving up the spiritual and hierarchical ladder within the Church of Scientology comes with its costs. Several of the former members interviewed in the film claim that

once they reached “OT3” status, they received confidential information that explained the true meaning behind Scientology’s practices — and that’s when they began to question the thousands of dollars they were paying for their auditing sessions. If you have yet to hear the story of Scientology, brace yourself. Hubbard claims a galactic overlord named Xenu ruled over Earth 75 million years ago, in a world very similar to that of 1950s America. The planet was vastly overpopulated, so Xenu sent the people of Earth in spaceships to be dumped into volcanoes that were destroyed by hydrogen bombs. The souls of the dead, referred to as “thetans,” which attach themselves onto the bodies of newborns, are what must be eliminated through auditing sessions until they are all gone. Yeah. But ridiculous pretense aside, it’s

not the beliefs that the documentary hopes to expose. It’s the way the church has made an incredulous amount of money by being granted religious exclusion from the IRS; it’s the underpaid Sea Organization workers who do menial tasks for the church who staff the church’s cruise ship; it’s the prison camp known as “the Hole” where outspoken church members are beaten by upper level church members; and it’s the acknowledgment of anyone outside the church as “suppressive persons,” who church members are forced to “disconnect” from, even if those people are members of their own family. The list goes on and on, supported by former church leaders and interviewed members who shared their stories. The current leader, David Miscavige, and Scientology celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta refused to

be interviewed for the film. “Going Clear” is a documentary that will shock you with its examination of Scientology, past and present, and the emotional testimony of interviewees whose lives were changed by the brainwashing of the church and the danger they faced if they dared to leave. The film successfully convinces viewers of its subtitle, that the religion is “a prison of belief” for those who follow. It’s a documentary that makes you believe that cults still exist in hidden forms in our own seemingly safe society and, perhaps, that one’s own faith may not be exempt from this indoctrination.

Learning ‘How to do Everything’ From marshmallow Peep jousting to marathon gaming sessions, NPR’s podcast is a potpourri of variety BYpatrick o’Connor The Daily Wildcat

A new podcast from NPR can teach you everything from how to outfit your truck into a cozy living space to how to be a cricket farmer. Inspired by survival manuals, Ian Chillag and Mike Danforth created NPR’s “How To Do Everything” three years ago. The 10-30 minute weekly podcast is centered around three to four pressing questions that range from practical, like how to travel with your baby, to the absurd, like how to bathe your T-Rex. Chillag and Danforth are producers on the popular news quiz show “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” and are using their comedic talents to tackle questions submitted by fans. Chillag and Danforth started off last year’s Easterthemed episode, titled “Peeps, Dolphins and Video Games,” by giving their viewers advice on what to do with all of those old Easter Peeps that are cluttering their kitchen. The show introduces listeners to the honorable sport of Peep jousting, which only requires toothpicks, a microwave and Peeps ready to do battle. “How To Do Everything” segments usually feature Chillag and Danforth talking to an expert of some kind and making periodic jokes with the expert about their question. One of their guests on the show was an Ohio man named John Salter, who played an arcade video game called “Armor Attack” for over 85 hours. Chillag and Danforth talked to Salter about the logistics of playing a game for that long and the amount of entertainment he was getting for 25 cents. Salter, who took naps while the game was still running, experienced hallucinations during the marathon run but ended up breaking two world records at the same time. “How To Do Everything” is

incredibly interactive. Fans are able to submit questions to the show using their website, and Chillag and Danforth often call these fans during the episodes to answer questions. The show also features breaks between segments that are dedicated to listeners who told the show when and w h e re they listen. T h e s e 15-second bits are usually humorous a n d feature a song that relates to the l i s t e n e r, such as w h e n the show played J u d a s Priest’s “Breaking the Law” for a law office intern scanning legal documents. In general, this podcast is funny and informative, but it sometimes falls short in its advertisements. Chillag and Danforth usually try to incorporate some kind of guest during their ad reads to make the sponsorship less boring for the listener. They

often do this by making a play on words with the sponsored company and the guest. For example, they were sponsored by an email marketing service called Emma one week, and their guest was an English professor who studies Jane Austen’s novel “Emma.” They read the advertisement for the company while asking the professor if Austen’s “Emma” had anything to do with email marketing. Sometimes this works and the advertisement is funny, and the guest makes jokes with Chillag and Danforth. More often than not, though, the guest sounds really awkward during the questions. You can listen to “How To Do Everything” by streaming or downloading its episodes for free from its website.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The buzzwords were many, issued from the stage throughout last week’s curiously memorable and well-covered media event announcing the new Tidal music-streaming service: notions of revolution, of changing the status quo and upending the system. As rhetoric regarding the “future of music” rang from the podium, a billion-dollar club of Tidal stakeholders-artists including Beyoncé and husband Jay Z, Jack White, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Rihanna and Madonna stood side-by-side onstage in New York. Flanked by Daft Punk members in their robot costumes and Deadmau5 donning a giant mouse head, singer Alicia Keys stated with furrow-browed gravitas that with the launch of Tidal, we were witnessing “a moment that will forever change the course of music history.” Purchased by Jay Z with minority owners including three major labels (Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group) and undisclosed others, Tidal was born as a Swedish highfidelity streaming company called Aspiro. The rebranding puts it as the newest player in a field occupied by competitors including the market leader Spotify, which has 15 million subscribers and 60 million users. All these services offer a nearly identical product and seek the same goal: to convince a generation of music fans that has never paid for music and whose ears are used to densely compressed music files that they’re insulting both the artist and the art. Tidal’s declared aim: to deliver high-quality sound, exclusive music, inventive playlists and editorial content to music fans. Tidal must convince at least a fraction of the 97 percent of consumers who don’t pay for a streaming service that subscribing to a premium $20-a-month platform (or $10 basic plan) is the ethically responsible thing to do. The content providers (also known as rights holders or “musicians”) earn a fraction of a

penny per spin. According to Spotify Artists, a website that explains the company’s payment system, the most recently calculated average “per-stream” payout to rights holders was between $0.006 and $0.0084. That’s not much, which is one reason why Taylor Swift pulled her music from Spotify and penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal at the end of 2014. “Music is art, and art is important and rare,” she wrote. “Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for.” Despite her music’s presence on Tidal, Jay Z’s declaration of significance is outlandish. It’s also unsupportable. Tidal, which boasts only 500,000-plus subscribers, is hardly yet worth paying for, even if the sound quality is indeed remarkable. The reason: Tidal streams rich, CD-quality sound through a lossless audio format. On the right system, the difference is obvious. Still, it’s hard to fathom anyone other than wealthiest 1 percent — or those of us with expense accounts to pay for such luxuries — buying in. As such, Tidal isn’t a revolution in anything other than artistic chutzpuh. Or, as another Twitter critic described the service as it is now, “Tidal is just a Spotify copy for rich people.” In fact, a true artist-friendly revolution would involve an action more substantial than investing $56 million and holding a press conference. For example, how about financing a Kickstarter-type service for musicians seeking funding, one owned and operated by successful artists interested in furthering the development and bank accounts of their less-fortunate peers? The skepticism prompted by the propaganda at the podium turned out to be warranted. Behind the curtain, the language of upheaval was less fiery. “We’re working alongside the labels; we’re not looking to try and pick fights,” Vania Schlogel, chief investment officer at Roc Nation, told Billboard after the news conference. As the service’s industry liaison, her tone was in stark contrast to Keys’. It was also more honest.
