What it means to be a man at UA BY ALISHA PERERA The Daily Wildcat
Healthy Masculinity at the UA: Our Stories will be held for students to share personal stories about how expectations and stereotypes surrounding masculinity shape their lives tonight in the Union Kiva Room. The event will run from 6-8 p.m. The goal of the event is to provide a healthy and safe environment for UA students to break stereotypes and share stories. “At last year’s event, a student told his story about how someone in his family experienced sexual violence committed against them, and he wanted to seek revenge,” but realized aggression is not a productive way to solve his issues, said Tanner JeanLouis, an anthropology junior and student director for The Men’s Project. She explained there are a number of stereotypes men at the UA face. “One big one is body image and the stereotype that a man has to have a lot of muscles and be tall strong and athletic,” Jean-Louis said. “Other stereotypes include the ways men have to behave. Men are supposed to show only a certain range of emotions.” This marks the second year the UA has partnered with Men Can Stop Rape, an organization that aims to help men develop a healthy masculinity and create an environment free from violence, especially toward women. “When people think of men, they think of a very specific idea that is often associated with a white middle-class male,” said Chris Corces-Zimmerman, a graduate assistant and higher education graduate student. “In reality, a lot of men at the UA do not fit into that mold. … There is also a focus on the negative aspects of masculinity, what some people call ‘toxic masculinity,’ instead of a focus on the potential for men to build

Council wants to hear more campus concerns BY AMBER WHITE
The Daily Wildcat
The UA Staff Advisory Council is trying to expand its influence and get its voice heard by other faculty members in colleges with advisory councils on campus. SAC arrived on campus in the mid ’70s to early ’80s to provide links to information and to advise others on policies and procedures. Members want to understand what is going on in different colleges around the university and offer assistance.
Richard Salazar, parking appeals officer and SAC member, said he thinks it is important to combine information, because the councils share common threads and are stronger when they work together. “Our concerns are your concerns,” he said. Salazar said he wants to make the SAC meetings mobile so they can travel to every college at the UA. Tuesday’s meeting was attended by the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences SAC, College of Science SAC and the Arizona Health
Sciences Center SAC, which were asked to voice their concerns and opinions. “If there were no staff advisory council, the concerns people have would never be heard,” said Elena Stauffer, co-chair of SBS SAC group. “You just have to find a way to get people excited or worthwhile to come to the advisory meeting, and then they start to see a return.” In December, the SBS SAC hosted a holiday giving event called “Adopt-a-School” and provided

UA Farmers’ Market returns to campus The Daily Wildcat
For the first time in years, there will be a farmers’ market on the UA Mall. Over the past year, a concerted effort by a variety of clubs, organizations and individuals pushed to bring a convenient market to campus for students, faculty and the community. “Originally, the idea of the [Main Campus Farmers’ Market] came a long time ago,” said Tyler Jensen, a controlled environment agriculture senior and president of the Controlled Environment Agriculture Student Association. “It’s a great idea to bring students and the community together.” This isn’t the first time the UA had a farmers’ market on campus. The last one was active from 2006-2008 and ended because vendors weren’t able to sell enough. It was moved to Main Gate Square on University Boulevard but struggled with a lack of foot traffic. CEASA worked with other clubs such as Students for Sustainability to make the market a reality and bring it back to campus.

Hildi Williams, College of Medicine faculty member and a member of AHSC SAC, said their advising council focuses on staff recognition and professional development. “We need ideas on new and exciting ways to draw in people,” Williams said. Michael Dyckman, chairperson for College of Science Advisory Council, said they are an eclectic group with 14 council members in each department. For professional development, the council gives away small grants several times a year to help people attend events and staff recognition awards. “Every now and then, there is an issue that arises, but it’s really obscure,” he said.

risk management, social media and the vetting of market vendors. “We haven’t overcome the hurdles yet,” he said regarding the difficulties of getting community vendors on campus on a regular basis. Today’s farmers’ market is the first part of a pilot program to gauge interest in it, Kammerer said, as well as determine the frequency of visits, how often the market should meet, what vendors should be included and other ways to improve the market. Vendors will sell a variety of goods, such as handcrafted chocolate, jerky, pretzels, organic popcorn and fresh produce. “Maybe now, the time is right,” said Kammerer, who said he believes the operation could “potentially [become] the largest campus farmers’ market in the state.”

There will be several workshops, and every old member of SAC will be paired with a new member in attending three workshops, allowing them to monitor the workshops with an executive board member while also taking part in them. SAC also provides an information outlet to the UA community regarding events like the “Stuff the CatTran” event where 14,183 meals were produced with the food donations, according to Christina Rocha, the SAC Executive Vice Chair. “If you could encourage anyone to think of joining the staff advisory council,” Rocha said, “that could be a part of your agenda items when you meet every month.” One of its largest accomplishments this year was adding classified staff to the “Never Settle Strategic Plan,” according to Charlotte Honeycutt, the administrative vice chair of SAC.

The emphasis of the project was increasing student involvement, which was originally part of Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. Ellen Dunn’s campaign platform last year for a campus-based farmers’ market. Dunn’s coordinating effort resulted in the formation of the Farmers Market Coalition, which consists of all the clubs that worked to bring the market to campus. Dunn worked with the Student Union Memorial Center to make sure that the market doesn’t overstep any boundaries. She contacted Jason Tolliver, director of SUMC, and found that a farmers’ market was something he had wanted to do for some time. However, for Tolliver, there were too many hurdles that stood in the way of the endeavor — one being that “external vendors can only sell 16 or so times in a calendar year,” according to Dunn. For the nascent farmers’ market, that means trouble. Clayton Kammerer is a UA alumnus and the owner of FoodInRoot, the third party of the market’s partnership.

$7,500 for proposals from all UA faculty members. Each white paper needs to be between 7,500 and 10,000 words and accompanied with graphics, charts and other illustrations “as needed.” Students can also help co-author the proposals, which are due to the EBRC by May 4. “Our mission is to provide Arizona business leaders, policymakers and citizens with socioeconomic data analysis that can help improve decisionmaking,” Hammond said. In terms of delivering this data, he stressed the importance of keeping economic information both accessible and meaningful, which is one of the primary goals of the MAP Dashboard. A plethora of socioeconomic data on geographies throughout Arizona and the U.S. — including local budgets, job growth, business startups, graduation rates, housing costs, government investment and consumer spending — is shown across the screen in an array of interactive graphs, charts and figures. “The core database that underpins this has over 10,000 time series” or data measurements, Hammond said. All of this data reflects research into six broad socioeconomic categories: economy, education, health and social well-being, infrastructure, quality of place, and workforce and demographics. As for what specific issues the MAP Dashboard wants faculty members to address, Hammond said “it’s an open call.” There isn’t any preference for a specific issue or topic for the white paper proposals to be centered on. “There’s information on the Dashboard website about major economic indicators,” he said. “But other than that, we’re just interested to see what the faculty submits for proposals. It’s a pretty open field.”

Fashion versus culture at Coachella Opinions split whether festival goers adopting fashions like dreadlocks, bindis and hennas is cultural appropriation BY Brenna Bailey The Daily Wildcat
As the weekend approaches, UA students begin to compile the ideal bohemian, free-spirited outfit to wear to one of the trendiest music festivals around. Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival attendees embrace various eccentric festival styles, which range from “interesting, edgy, and less mainstream trends,” to more mainstream “hipster and indie” uniforms, according to pre-neuroscience freshman Kyli McQueen. McQueen said that though most festival fashions are “harmless and expected,” some “trends,” such as wearing bindis, henna or dreadlocks, walk a thin line between being edgy and being cultural appropriation. These controversial styles are all too ubiquitous on the festival scene, affecting different cultural groups in many ways. Some groups feel that wearing culturally significant pieces for the sake of fashion is undoubtedly appropriation, while others see it more as appreciation. McQueen said she personally feels that her culture is appropriated through the dreadlocks trend among non-black people at Coachella. “Being AfricanAmerican, I feel that black culture is appropriated when [non-black] people wear dreadlocks,” McQueen says. “White attendees of Coachella sporting dreadlocks to just ‘look cool’ ignore the struggle of an entire marginalized community. … They were considered a form of resistance toward the standards of beauty imposed by white people during times of slavery.” She added that appropriators of black culture do not realize the damage they cause through their
actions. “Taking advantage of ‘cool’ parts of a culture for personal gain while disregarding and ignoring the rest of the culture and its history is very disrespectful,” McQueen said. Lakshmi Punati, a management information systems sophomore, has a more tolerant opinion regarding the wearing of culturally specific styles by Coachella patrons. “For me, it’s really great to see other people taking in my [Hindu] culture,” Punati says. “When I see people [outside my culture] wearing bindis, it shows me they appreciate [my culture]. … It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s like dressing to a theme.” Bindis have both aesthetic and cultural associations, according to finance sophomore Shivani Patel. “Bindis are often worn as a fashion statement [by Hindu women] or to indicate if a woman is married,” Patel said. “Bindis with heavy detailing are more for style, while simple black and red dots indicate if a woman is married or not.” Patel added that hennas are a primarily stylistic accessory and that Hindu women wear intricately designed hennas at baby showers and as brides for fashion purposes. Like Punati, she said she believes wearing bindis and hennas at Coachella is more of a sign of cultural appreciation than appropriation. “From what I can see, most of the ladies at Coachella have more decorative bindis and simple henna, which is more for fun and style than having any sort of cultural significance,” Patel said. “I think it’s kind of cool when I see someone [outside of Hindu culture] wearing a

Latin classic brought to life BY Chelsea Cook
The Daily Wildcat
The UA Department of Classics will celebrate the work of Vergil today in the Special Collections section of the Main Library through an aloud reading of Book II of “The Aeneid.” The reading marks the fourth annual Lectio Vergiliana. Cynthia White, director of the Basic Latin Program, and Jared Copeland, a Latin teacher for Scottsdale Preparatory Academy, started the event in 2011. The “reading was organized in the Main Library reference room,” White writes in an email, “with the English projected on a large screen behind the readers of the text.” Teaching assistants Elizabeth Del Curto and Stephanie Hutchings will run this year’s event. The two have been awarded two grants in order to run the event — one from the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, and the other from the UA Faculty-Student Interaction Grant. Vergil’s poem is the account of Aeneas’ journey after the fall of Troy. In Book II, Aeneas recounts the destruction of Troy to Dido and explains their quest for a promising new home. “Vergil is at his best in his account of the horrifically tragic death of Priam, as narrated by Aeneas,” UA professor of classics David Christenson writes in an email. “Priam must first watch Achilles’ son, Neptolemus, butcher his own son before he, himself, is executed... The king’s death powerfully marks the demise of an entire civilization — and also the birth of a new one.” Students in upper division and graduate Latin classes, along with those in secondary school certification classes, will take turns reading sections of the book. “In the broadest sense, the lectio celebrates a brilliant language (and literature) that is as alive today as it ever has been,” Christenson writes. “We sometimes forget that hundreds of millions of people speak — and innovate and create — in dialects of Latin today (Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Portugese).” Although Latin is often referred to

as a dead language, the department of classics believes that it is incredibly beneficial for students to continue to study and learn the language. Not only does Latin aid in subjects such as European history, philosophy, literature, religion, and culture but it also allows students to have access to the writings of the Romans, early Christians, and people of Renaissance, early modern and Enlightenment Europe. “People who study Latin gain a deeper understanding of grammar of English, and thus become better writers,” said Robert Groves, a visiting assistant professor of classics. “People who plan to go on to law or medical school will expand their vocabularies by knowing the Latin roots used in many technical terms.” The Lectio Vergiliana brings students, professors and teaching assistants together to listen to and read the work of Vergil. “For students who are in their early semesters of studying and reading Latin,” White writes, “it is exciting to measure their progress by reading the poem aloud in a public setting, as it was meant to be performed.” The reading will run from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. and is open to the public. — Follow Chelsea Cook @DailyWildcat

bindi or henna.” Punati and Patel both call themselves modern Hindus, which they said contributes to their openness of sharing the wearing of religiously significant Hindu fashions. Punati said that though she thinks it’s “really cool” to see celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens and the Kardashians (avid bindi wearers) sporting bindis and henna at festivals, more traditional Hindus, such as her grandparents, may think it is an act of cultural appropriation. “The older Northern [Hindus] would be more strict [about wearing bindis and henna],” Punati said. “It honestly just depends on the person you talk to and how significant
Hindu dress is to them.” Other more traditional Hindus have called out celebrities on social media platforms for appropriating their cultures. According to a CBC News Community Storify, Instagram users commented on photos in which Hudgens was wearing a bindi. “[Her Instagram] photo should alert us to a variety of issues … but most importantly, the fact that it is super inappropriate to wear religious adornments as festival wear,” writes Lauren Duca for The Huffington Post. Users also asked Hudgens to “please stop appropriating other cultures,” as she has done so many
times on her “Try Hard quest.” The same applies to other celebrities, such as Kylie and Kendall Jenner or their sister Kholé Kardashian. People commented on their photos, asking them to recognize and stop their own appropriation of Hindu culture through wearing bindis. Overall, people will wear what they please when Coachella rolls around. However, opinions regarding whether certain festival fashion trends do or do not appropriate specific cultures will depend on who you are speaking with.

Peelander-Z invades Rialto BY Elise McClain The Daily Wildcat
Peelander-Z, the New Yorkbased Japanese action comic punk band, will be making a stop on its 2015 Happee Spring Tour on Thursday at Hotel Congress. Peelander-Z was initially formed by Peelander-Yellow, Red and Blue after meeting in New York City in 1998. In 2008, Peelander-Blue left the ranks, and Peelander-Green joined the band taking his place, creating the contemporary face of Peelander-Z. Finding its start as a concept band, Peelander-Z evolved from novelty to nationwide touring sensation in its tenure. “They’ve become a more focused chaos, as opposed to complete chaos,” said Mike Dickinson, manager and label producer of Peelander-Z. “They’ve become touring machines. The first tour I worked with them, they did 65 shows in 60 days. They just love touring and playing for people; they’re a band full of energy. I believe they’ve played nearly every major city in America at least once.” Returning to Tucson on the heels of its performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas, Peelander-Z will carry its show across the nation until finally returning home to New York City in May. Known for playing to a wide variety of audiences, Peelander-Z band members don colorful costumes akin to the styles found in Japanese animation — strikingly reminiscent of the Power Rangers. Playing anything from children’s to adult venues, Peelander-Z maintains one mission: to have fun. “The appeal of Peelander-Z, for me, comes from the colorful homage to Saturday morning Japanese action shows like Kamen Rider and Power Rangers, coupled alongside the fun, highenergy punk anthems belted out by an elderly Japanese guy in a yellow bodysuit in broken English,” said Shaun Oyakawa, hip-hop disc jockey at KAMP Student Radio, “It is a fun band with a nostalgia factor that appeals to me in many ways.”
Courtesty of Peelander-Z
The colorful members of Japanese action comic punk band Peelander-Z strike a pose. The group will bring its signature energy to Hotel Congress on Thursday.
Appearing at major music festivals, such as Bonnaroo, CMJ and SXSW, Peelander-Z draws on a unique fan base. According to Dickinson, the band has a little something for everyone. Whether you’re interested in Japanese or punk-rock culture, Peelander-Z employs a kind of undeniable intrigue attractive to all sorts. Peelander-Z employs grass root strategies to build on its audience, making very few waves in major marketing networks. “We let the band be the band, because their music speaks for itself,” Dickinson said. “They’re really their own walking marketing team, because they’re out there as Peelander-Z 24 hours a day. They have a lot of viral appeal.” Peelander-Z aims to take popular culture and reflect it back on itself through the band’s filter. Each show guarantees audience participation and the opportunity to perform with the band. “Their mission is ultimately to spread fun and happiness,” Dickinson said. “They play for
people interested in having a good time. Everybody who attends the shows [has] a good time. Their message is inclusion: It doesn’t matter who you are, how old you are or even what you like. People go to be silly and have fun.” With songs like “S.T.E.A.K.” and “Taco Taco Tacos,” Peelander-Z offers the unique opportunity to become involved with performing musicians and cut loose. According to the Rialto Theatre website, PeelanderYellow encourages the audience to “Do human bowling with us. Do limbo dancing with us. Do karaoke competition with us. Hit our cowbell with us. Don’t be shy, give us your smile! We can beat your stress! See you at our show!” Doors for the Peelander-Z show open at 6 p.m., and the show begins 7 p.m. on Thursday at Hotel Congress.

Pao drew attention to inequality in STEM BY Hailey Dickson The Daily Wildcat
I
t comes as no surprise that the science, technology, engineering and mathematics industry largely remains a boys club. In fact, according to Jill Williams, director of the Women in Science and Engineering Program, the machismo culture is even expanding. “The overall number of female partners in venture capital firms has decreased to just 6 percent,” Williams said, “down from 10 percent in 1999.” No matter a woman’s skills or aptitude, it is exceedingly difficult for her to permeate the male-dominated field and attain the success she deserves. Everyone loves the story of the underdog. We secretly crave their success in overcoming whatever adversity has been working against them. The story is a little different for women, though; when the female underdog speaks out, she often receives an unprecedented backlash. It appeared the trial of Ellen Pao, an underdog venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, couldn’t have been timelier. Pao decided to speak out about the discrimination she allegedly faced at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers — one of the largest venture capitalist firms in Silicon Valley — through a highprofile lawsuit. When Pao explained her grievances, Silicon Valley and the rest of the country was eager to listen. The experiences Pao detailed in court — being excluded from all-male excursions, suffering through talk of porn stars during business trips and being invited to a partner’s home for dinner when his wife was out of town — resonated a little too well with women in tech throughout the country. So, when Pao alleged that these subtle, cumulative forms of discrimination led to her lack of promotion to partner and eventual termination at Kleiner Perkins, it seemed reasonable that a jury could put two and two together. Unfortunately, this was not the case: The jury sided with Kleiner Perkins on all counts. To those who say Pao simply wasn’t the right spokeswoman to get the gender equity movement off the ground, to say this is to imply there is a one-size-fits-all formula for a woman to ascend the ranks in STEM. To say this completely contradicts the movement for workplace diversity in the first place. To those who speculate that this simply wasn’t the right time for a case like this to succeed, this is true. The right time for women to attain equity in tech fields was decades ago. While unfortunate, the case’s outcome is not as important as the number of eyes that were on it. Thanks to Pao, women in tech are rallying to keep the conversation going, while other Silicon Valley tech firms are racing to amend their recruitment and discrimination policies, thankful it wasn’t them in the hot seat for perpetuating similar hostilities. This may be the case that demands employers address gender discrimination at a deeper level than that of boasting about their binders full of women. Hopefully, this case will call tech firms not only to re-evaluate their recruitment of women but to enact policies that make the workplace an environment free of discrimination or harassment. Williams elucidates the importance of this. “Things like unwelcoming office environments and a lack of mentorship have been shown to compel women to leave fields in which they are underrepresented,” she said. San Jose Mercury News reported that Christine Tsai, founder of the seed fund and accelerator 500 Startups, thinks the wheels are already in motion. Since the Pao case, she “has seen startups with just 10 to 20 employees asking about how to create a harassment policy — considerably earlier in their development than they would have in the past.” Though change can’t be expected to happen overnight, hopefully, as perceived barriers to entry in tech are chiseled away, young women will be more comfortable embracing their passions for tech at an undergraduate level and beyond. “Even if there are not any formal barriers to a woman in STEM, it can still be very intimidating to look around you and realize there isn’t anyone else like you there,” said Jeannie Wilkening, treasurer of the UA Society of Women Engineers. With continued dialogue and collaboration, tech fields won’t appear so homogenous to innovative young women who dream of finding their niche in Silicon Valley and elsewhere. Ideally, tech firms will embrace the gender equity movement for reasons beyond checking a box or covering their corporate backsides. This is a huge opportunity for STEM companies to act in accordance with the spirit of innovation they are founded upon.

But the legislation to bring the tax breaks back has a long road ahead of it. “All the Tucson and Southern Arizona legislators have supported our motion picture incentive bills in the past,” Hall said. “But there is a small, very vocal minority, some of whom hold the most powerful positions in our House and Senate, who have blocked the bill from getting a hearing by not assigning it to a committee.” These organizations include the wonkishly conservative think tanks of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club and the Arizona Tax Research Association. So, if anyone wants to send large quantities of pizzas and black faxes to these jerk-offs, it’s unlikely anyone would judge. While this is a start, we need the film tax credit if we are truly going to become a filmmaking state. Keep in mind that a filmmaking state is also a money-making, tourist-attracting, well-off state.
But she also noted that an impact study done by the local industry indicated “the program brought money into the state.” “I heard on the radio this morning that Arizona came in dead last of all 50 states for construction jobs,” Hall said. “Just one TV series would easily employ 100-200 construction workers to build and maintain sets for several months every year.” Putting Hall’s statement about the advantage of film tax credits into effect, New Mexico reportedly gained $90 million of film production spending injected into its economy, New York had $7 billion pumped into its state, and the number of film jobs in Louisiana quadrupled. Even a study in Maryland, which is actually considering axing its own, said the state was receiving $1.03 for every dollar put into the program. You’d think Arizona would want a slice of that cash pie. Of course, it would help if Arizona had a state film office to even negotiate with the small quantity of productions that do want to film here without a tax credit. The old state film office was another thing axed with the recession in 2009, which makes it an awful pain to coordinate shooting, though state legislators like Carlyle Begay are trying

ucson is a cinematic town. The retro lanes of Congress Street, the winding hills of Oracle Road, the great eerie washes. It’s a shame, then, that this state doesn’t have a film tax credit to draw filmmakers here. Yes, while New Mexico supports productions like “Breaking Bad” and “The Avengers,” we are stuck with no such incentives. We formerly had one, attracting productions like “Rio Bravo” and “The Outlaw of Josey Wales,” but it got the axe like so many other tax breaks in 2010 thanks to the Great Recession. Tucson film director Shelli Hall mourned the loss. “The [U.S.] Department of Commerce, where the program was housed, did a study a couple years into the five-year program that said the incentive program cost the state money,” she said.

What are you into? Better sex BY Nick Havey
The Daily Wildcat
F
or many, college is a period in our lives when we are the most objectively attractive. Alongside that objective attractiveness, hormones rage, and it might seem like there will never be more sexual options than there are now. With this perfect storm for getting off, there is still a shockingly wide gap in sexual satisfaction: On average, women experience about one orgasm for every three orgasms a man experiences. This is in part due to the fact that it’s way easier for a man to orgasm, but it’s also because clitoral stimulation is an afterthought for a lot of men. Like with all other facets of a relationship, the answer is simple: communication. And straight people could learn a lot from how same-sex partners are entering into their pillow talk. It feels like everyone is still just running off the information they got from the sex talk their dad gave them while they were trapped in the car at the McDonald’s drive-through or the one they received from that horribly ill-informed, and not-so-sexually experienced, gym teacher that involved a disturbing PowerPoint about human genitalia. There might
have been a box for dropping uninspired questions afterward, although most questions were “better left for your parents to answer.” The lack of candid and open dialogue about sex persists into adulthood and leads to really lame sex for all involved. But you know who isn’t having bad sex? Same-sex couples. Dan Savage, renowned sexual columnist and gay rights advocate, argued that in a traditional, genderrole-conforming straight relationship, a simple assumption is shared among all parties: the girl is going to get fucked. The dude assumes he is going to be satisfied in the good ol’-fashioned, American way — vaginal intercourse — and that’ll be the end of it. For gay couples, it’s not so easy. Although there are still some rapid, judgmentbased assumptions that lead to misunderstandings and awkward sexual encounters among same-sex couples, the fact that penetrative intercourse is not the end-all and be-all leaves the conversation open. The “what are you into” conversation prevents any awkward sexual incompatibility. While some straight men generally just put their penises in their female partners’ boxes without so much as complimentary foreplay, gay male partners have plenty of options to discuss. Penetrative anal sex, for one

thing, can go both ways. But not everyone is going to want to engage in anal, and some people simple don’t enjoy oral sex. “We are compelled to communicate with each other,” Savage says in an “Ask Anything” video. “Who’s going to do what to whom cannot be assumed.” And there’s a reason there are so many jokes and Internet pages centered on the question, “How do lesbians have sex?” They have sex in lots (and lots) of ways. With no default to fall back on, pre-coitus conversation is impossible to avoid. For Jordon Belton, a biochemistry junior and self-described “total top,” it’s important to ask his partners those questions ahead of time to ensure the sex is good for everyone and not just him. While Belton prefers to top (the penetrator), gay stereotypes and physical profiling could lead to other men assuming he was a bottom (the receiver). Belton, like many, is eager to make that clear before he goes on a date or gets into bed with someone. Relationships and sex are largely about communication.
When you forego explicitly asking your partner what they are into, you risk reducing your sexual satisfaction by not revealing all of the weird things you like to do in bed, and you sacrifice your partner’s potential happiness by not fully understanding that they like to get spanked a little. (But maybe not too hard.) The facts don’t lie, either. Communication between sexual partners leads to an increase in condom use and STI prevention, according to a 2006 study from the University of Kentucky. It also results in an increase in both sexual and relationship satisfaction, according to a Temple University study of 101 heterosexual relationships with an average age of 22. Frankly, if you’re not willing to talk about your likes and dislikes and those of your partner, you shouldn’t be having sex in the first place.

Hide and seek
A University of Arizona Police Department officer spotted a UA student on the first floor stairwell hallway of a residence hall and smelled marijuana coming from him on March 22 at 10:38 p.m. The officer was finishing rounds with the resident assistants when he spotted the student through the hall door window. The student immediately turned and stood behind the corner trying to hide something in his pocket. After following the student back into the hallway, the officer asked him why he smelled like marijuana. The man denied having any and claimed the smell must be coming from someone else. The student was read his Miranda rights. When asked to answer questions, he said, “It depends; go for it.” He denied having any drugs but showed the officer a 3-4 inch black and narrow “one-hitter” pipe containing marijuana residue in his pocket. He turned out all of his pockets to show the officer he had nothing else in them. The individual was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of drug paraphernalia. The pipe was taken into UAPD Property and Evidence.
Just chilling
A UAPD officer was driving around on Park Avenue and Second Street when he saw a male UA student playing with his shorts near the Arizona History Museum wall on March 24 at 11:47 p.m. The officer put on his sirens and parked his vehicle near the museum to approach the man and ask what he was doing there. The UA student said he was “just chilling.” Another man then came walking up to them. The officer noticed both men had red watery eyes, lack of balance and the smell of alcohol coming from their bodies. They admitted to drinking “a little bit” at the Hub At Tucson apartments. While admitting being under 21 years of age, the officer noticed a 12-ounce Stella Artois beer bottle in the non-UAaffiliated man’s back pocket. He handed the bottle to the officer. Both said they just got some food at the nearby Jack in the Box after drinking and were going to get a ride share service back to where they lived at The Retreat. Each was cited and released for possession of alcohol as a minor. The UA student first seen facing the museum wall was warned for urinating in public, and the other man was warned for minor in actual possession of alcohol. They both left on foot. The beer was poured out, and the bottle was thrown away in a nearby trash can. The student was also given a Code of Conduct through the Dean of Students Office.

A
reporter asked me during the third round of the NCAA Tournament in Portland, Ore., if Arizona men’s basketball was better than when it beat Gonzaga in early December. I said yes and that coach Sean Miller shifted the starting lineup to insert forward Rondae HollisJefferson to start the Wildcats’ best five a few weeks after the win over Gonzaga. The reporter was shocked — first, that someone as good as HollisJefferson was a reserve, and second, that someone as good as him would volunteer to come off the bench. That was Hollis-Jefferson in a nutshell for Arizona: a Swiss Army knife that was willing to do whatever the team needed. Now that Hollis-Jefferson has declared for the NBA Draft, whichever team that picks him will get just that, and he will be hard to replace. Miller said Hollis-Jefferson is unselfish and is a leader. “To me, that’s his greatest gift, and that’s what people in the NBA will love, because he doesn’t bring one skill to the table; he brings amazing versatility,” Miller said. “We huddled

However, he also said he will continue his classes online in order to graduate in the future.

MLB’s Opening Day was Monday, and it gave several former key Arizona baseball players another chance to keep playing the game at the next level. Two former Arizona Wildcats have already worked their way up the managerial level of the Major Leagues. Terry Francona, Arizona’s 1980 College World Series MOP, is the former manager of the Boston Red Sox and current manager of the Cleveland Indians, while Chip Hale — who currently holds 17 batting records at Arizona — manages for the Arizona Diamondbacks. But Arizona has alumni making plays on the field as well. Here are the ones most likely to make a difference in 2015. REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

Stanley Johnson could use more seasoning BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
E
verybody knew Stanley Johnson would only be at Arizona for one year. At least, that’s what most expected. He would be the next “one-and-done” a la Aaron Gordon. But ever since the Wildcats’ loss in the Elite Eight to the Wisconsin Badgers, something doesn’t seem right about Johnson leaving to the NBA. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him stay another year; he would probably even be better than he is now. Would Johnson be an NBA lottery pick this upcoming draft? No doubt. Would he earn millions of dollars? Certainly. Most NBA mock drafts have him going in the top 10. But imagine the experience and growth he could gain from another year under Arizona coach Sean Miller. Look at NBA-bound Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, for example. The forward from Chester, Pa., improved in almost every single statistic from his freshman campaign, including minutes, points, assists and field goal percentage. Imagine what Johnson could do with at least another year under his belt. CBS Sports reported on Monday that Johnson is “torn” on whether or not to enter the NBA Draft. That’s one word to describe it. I would be, too. Johnson was at the top of his game and seemed to have figured out how to implement himself into the Arizona offense. That was, until he was injured against Wisconsin and scored just six points in 25 minutes. His freshman season was average. He averaged 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 28.4 minutes per game in a Wildcat uniform. He started 37 of 38 games and was third on the team in total minutes. You could see Johnson’s immaturity on the floor, despite his success, throughout the season. Johnson struggled to put it all together in games — whether it was his last-second turnover dribbling

for Brandon Ashley, Stanley Johnson and Kaleb Tarczewski on whether they will join HollisJefferson as early entrants to the 2015 NBA Draft. Miller said there’s no timetable for each to decide and will let them take time to announce their decisions. “We want them to take their time and make their decision, … and once the decision is made, it’s easy and better for all of us to clarify,” Miller said. “We’ll start with Rondae, he’ll lead us off and we’ll go from there.” Reports have surfaced over the past couple days that Ashley will declare, Tarczewski is leaning toward staying, and Johnson is torn between heading to the NBA or staying a Wildcat. No concrete evidence has come out yet, but Miller said Ashley could be the next to announce his decision. “Brandon is probably the next closest, and I think, hopefully, in the next couple days, he’ll

He was named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Year, first-team All-Pac-12 member, USBWA Freshman All-American, NABC third-team All-American, EA Sports Maui Invitational MVP and a finalist for the Julius Irving Small Forward of the Year Award. Now, compare Johnson to Gordon. The Orlando Magic forward has not had the rookie year that he would have liked. Whether it be injuries, inconsistencies or just a plain adjustment from the college to NBA game, his rookie season has left much to be desired. Johnson doesn’t want that.

Preseason expectations The 2014-2015 college basketball season may have just ended, but that hasn’t stopped sports media sites from already picking early top-25 rankings for next season. ESPN has Arizona ranked 12th, Bleacher Report has Arizona ranked eighth and NBC Sports has the Wildcats ranked 10th. And that’s with the entire starting lineup projected to leave. It may be way too early to speculate, but it seems Arizona is in a good position to be ranked in the top 10 of preseason polls yet again.

at a high mark. He averaged 25.1 points per game, 8.1 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 3.3 assists during his senior season at Mater Dei. He was a perfect 70-0 in his final two years in high school. Six points against an elite Wisconsin team just is not good enough and something Johnson likely cannot live with. An NBA scout told Daily Wildcat sports editor Roberto Payne that Gordon wasn’t ready last season and that Johnson could also use another year of seasoning before entering the NBA. The saddest part is how Johnson supposedly guaranteed Miller a trip to the Final Four. If he stays another year, it would probably happen. Regardless if he stays or goes, Johnson could use an extra year before he makes his way to the next level.

He also led the Pac-12 Conference in free-throw attempts and was eighth in the league in defensive rebounds (4.8 per game), 12th in offensive rebounds (2.0) and field goal percentage (.502), and 14th in steals (1.2). One thing that made HollisJefferson so good isn’t really reflected in the stats: his defensive prowess. He was counted on to shut down the opponents’ best offensive weapons game after game, like Pac-12 Player of the Year Joe Young and likely top-five NBA Draft pick D’Angelo Russell. Hollis-Jefferson said he hopes to defend the team’s best offensive players in the NBA, and when he gets there, his focus will be on defense. He added that he will work hard on his offense, though. Hollis-Jefferson is hardly a oneway player. He worked hard over the summer to improve his offense.
Arizona athletes and coaches alike have reiterated that point all year long. Specifically, members of the football and men’s basketball teams have voiced their support for the ZonaZoo. At his press conference announcing his decision to depart early for the NBA, Arizona men’s basketball forward Rondae HollisJefferson said he will miss the fans and the atmosphere in Tucson that he had during his two years as a Wildcat. “I would just like to say thank you to the city of Tucson and our great fans over the last two years,” Hollis-Jefferson said. “The love you guys have showed me has been overwhelming.

After scoring a career-high 23 points against Texas Southern in the NCAA Tournament, Hollis-Jefferson said he didn’t really care, that he was bummed he didn’t play well on defense. “I don’t know that I’ve ever enjoyed coaching a player more than I’ve enjoyed coaching Rondae,” Miller said. Arizona went 67-9 with HollisJefferson. Draft Express projects HollisJefferson going to the Portland Trail Blazers with the 23rd pick and getting a salary of $1.11 Million.

I think he’s always someone that had time to approach him.” Miller said the greatest compliment that coaches give is that they look for guys like him in recruiting. “You’re on the hunt for the next Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, because you know … that type of person, that type of competitor, that type of player, translates into a lot of great moments.”
