The I-Squared Awards for Innovation and Impact recognized UA faculty and researchers on Thursday who worked toward the improvement of the quality of life through their research and innovation. “Researchers are the lifeblood of the technology commercialization process,” said Douglas Hockstad, director of Tech Transfer Arizona at Tech Launch Arizona. “We wanted to acknowledge the hard work and persistence required by researchers to take innovations through that process to a point where they can have a social and economic impact.” Victor Hruby, regents’ professor emeritus of chemistry and biochemistry in the UA College of Science, was awarded the I-Squared Award for Chemistry. “This award represents that I

have an extremely talented group,” Hruby said. “I’m a lucky man to have such talented people in my group that can look at scientific problems and come up with new solutions together.” Hruby was recognized for the invention of a peptide that aids in the production of photoprotective melanin, which acts as a natural protector against skin cancers. Regarding his award-winning work ethic, Hruby emphasized the importance of active curiosity and asking questions most of his peers never considered. “I just love to learn new things,” he said. “This is what motivates me: to find new ways of thinking about the way our universe works.” The I-Squared Award for Biomedicine was awarded to Eugene Gerner, professor emeritus of cellular and molecular medicine at the UA Cancer Center. Gerner received the award for creating Cancer Prevention

Pharmaceuticals, which is a Tucson-based company that currently has two therapeutic products in Phase 2 and Phase 3 of clinical testing. “Our therapies have the potential to dramatically reduce deaths due to certain cancers in both adults and children,” Gerner said. Yi-Chang Chiu, a UA civil engineering associate professor, was awarded the I-Squared Award for Information Technology. According to Hockstad, Chiu’s research, and the app Metropia developed as a result, “is creating social impact by helping individuals in metropolitan areas take an active role in reducing traffic congestion and [carbon dioxide] emissions by reducing travel time and improving traffic flow. This helps improve quality of life for individuals by reducing stress and transit times, and

An expert in cult behaviors will lead discussions on organizational cult dynamics at the Student Union Memorial Center today. Doni Whitsett, social worker, clinical professor and associate director of faculty development for the University of Southern California, will lead several workshops directed at UA campus and Tucson community members. “You have to distinguish a benign group from a malignant one,” Whitsett said. “There are actual criteria.” Whitsett will hold three workshops in the Union Kiva Room throughout the day. At 9 a.m., she will give a contemporary overview about cult dynamics within organizations for campus and Tucson community members. At 11 a.m., Whitsett will give a more in-depth explanation about identifying concerning behavior in relation to cult dynamics for UA Student Affairs and Enrollment Management staff. At 2 p.m., she will discuss the role of student leaders relating to group dynamics that may lead to cultlike behavior. Whitsett was invited to speak at the UA by university officials; she said she will talk about the criteria and characteristics students and faculty should be aware of when it comes to recognizing cult dynamics. Kendal Washington White, assistant vice president for Student Affairs, said all ASUA clubs and affiliated organizations are invited to come to the student session at 2 p.m. to learn about the role of student leaders in dealing with cult dynamics. White said education about this topic is very important, and she believes strongly in educating the student community in particular. Whitsett said a student who thinks they may be getting involved in an organization that shows signs of cult dynamics should ask themselves a few questions. “I think people should question if they really allow themselves be critical, and to critically think about the group they’re getting into, and if they ask questions and are appreciated for asking those questions,” Whitsett said. “I think education is the key, really, and that’s why we’re here: because education is preventive.” — Brandi Walker @DailyWildcat

Friday marked the conclusion of the McGuire Entrepreneurship Program with the New Venture Competition and Showcase in McClelland Hall. Students and staff viewed the booths of 22 teams that spent the year preparing a product or service and learning how to ready a business venture for pitching to investors. Teams competed for $45,000 in cash and other prizes. “It is the culmination of a year’s work,” said Mat Friedman, a senior studying business management and entrepreneurship. The event was the last chance for the teams to practice pitching their business ventures to students, staff and judges. The day began with a trade show, as Entrepreneurship Program students set up booths to show off the work they’ve done. Each team came up with a unique product or service that may be marketed after the program ends. “From here, those who choose to launch, will,” said Brianne Lieber, administrative specialist at McGuire. McGuire has a history of producing teams that take their ideas beyond the classroom and into the market. Park Genius is a smartphone app that lets drivers pay for parking spaces without the hassle of dealing with parking meters, and MistoBox is a boutique coffee subscription service personalized for each individual subscriber. Both products came out of the McGuire Entrepreneurship Program. After the morning trade show, the teams entered an auditorium to give their “rocket pitches” to a panel of judges. These judges narrowed down the number of remaining teams to six, who would compete in another round of rocket pitches later

Mayor launches Fitness Month

So you want to exercise… The first annual Tucson Fitness Month started May 3 with at least one event scheduled per day until May 30 to promote health and wellness

START HERE

BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat

Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild launched the first ever Tucson Fitness Month on Saturday with the first event lasting from 10 a.m. to noon at Reid Park. Lisa Markkula, communications director for the Office of the Mayor, said the purpose of Tucson Fitness Month is “encouraging people to get more active and see the many positive changes it can make in their lives.” Markkula said did not require people to RSVP because they didn’t know how many people would show up. “There are classes offered every day from May 3-30, at least one class a day and sometimes several classes a day,” Markkula said. “I hope that even if people don’t join us for the launch event, they can still come to some of the classes and find something new and exciting to do to help stay active.” Markkula said the groups providing instructors for these classes are the Tucson Parks and Recreation Department, the Tucson Fire Department, the YMCA of Southern Arizona and the Tucson Jewish Community Center. Markkula said Rothschild began with the Walk 100 Miles with the Mayor initiative, which had many participants. She said that event morphed into Tucson Moves a Million Miles. “We reached that goal,” Markkula said. “So, just continuing along the idea of promoting health and physical activity as a way to improve your health, we came up with Tucson Fitness Month, and again with help from a lot of community partners, the mayor was able to put this together.” Heather Kleeman, program coordinator for Campus Recreation, said as part of UA Finals Survival Week, the Student Recreation Center will offer free fitness classes. “We are having a kick-off event on May 6,” Kleeman said, “and we’ll be offering yoga on the Mall during that event from [noon to 12:45 p.m.].” Kleeman added that Finals Survival Week is something that happens at the end of every semester and gives students an opportunity to get active. “We’re providing events for students during the week to help with stress relief and to make sure that they survive finals,” she said. Some of the free classes offered at the Rec Center include yoga, Warrior Flow, Body Pump, Butts N Guts, Zumba, spin, barre and pilates, Kleeman said. Kleeman also said the free fitness classes are always very popular. She said Campus Recreation will have extended hours during finals as well. “During the weekends, we usually open at 8 a.m.,” she said, “and we’ll be opening at 6 a.m. instead, and closing at 1 a.m. instead of midnight.” Jamie Shindler, a pre-business sophomore, said every day she goes to the gym, she feels like she is saving a few days of her life.

In Brief BY DAVID MCGLOTHLIN The Daily Wildcat

Nepal earthquake relief drive The UA Nepalese Student Association coordinated a candle vigil on Friday in response to the April 25 earthquake in Nepal. Bhuwan Thapa, NSA president, said the event was held in remembrance for the 6,000 deceased victims, which could increase to 10,000 people. It began with a speech from Thapa recapping the natural disaster followed by a minute of silence and the lighting of the candles. The candles were placed on a map of Nepal that was spread across the floor. The ceremony concluded with the signing of the Nepalese national anthem. Rally to support public education UA and community members from across Tucson expressed their dissatisfaction of Gov. Doug Ducey’s recent budget cuts before he spoke to the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at the UA on Friday. According to the Arizona Education Watch website, the budget cuts include: -$99 million cut from all three state universities -All funding to Pima and Maricopa colleges

The I-Squared Award for Engineering was awarded to Linda Powers, professor and Thomas Brown Chair for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Powers worked on the development and commercialization of hand-held sensor technologies capable of detecting and identifying microbes. Joel Cuello, a professor for the

Montoya added that about 50 people participated, but she did not see any UA students. OER Day at the UA According to the UA@work website, “The College Board estimates that the average undergraduate can expect to pay $1,225 for textbooks and supplies in 2014-15” and “seven out of 10 students don’t purchase a required textbook … because of cost.” David Ernst, the man behind the University of Minnesota’s “Open Textbook Library,” shared his knowledge with UA faculty members at three different informative sessions and workshops on Friday at the Main Library. Open educational resources help eliminate the costs of expensive textbooks by providing academic materials that can be copied, shared, printed and customized based on the course.

Cuello’s unique work revolved around the innovation of different ways of growing algae for sustainable biofuel production. Lastly, the I-Squared Award for Campus Collaboration was awarded to the University Libraries Business Intelligence Team for providing business intelligence and research to Tech Launch. Amongst the team is Sandra Kramer, Jason Dewland, Cindy Elliot and Jennifer Martin. The team was awarded,

doyouwant... answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships STDs are widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom. There are even plant STDs that are carried by pollinating insects.

Q

Where do STDs come from?

A. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), as their name suggests, are really just infectious diseases that happen to spread through sexual contact. Where an infectious disease like the flu virus is transmitted through airborne droplets, STDs move from one person to another through skin-to-skin contact or the exchange of bodily fluids in the oral, anal, and genital regions during sex. The mention of STDs goes back to the dawn of recorded history: hepatitis was probably identified as far back as Hippocrates in the 4th century BC, gonorrhea was described by the Egyptians during the reign of the pharaohs, and Moses set forth laws that were intended to curb the spread of venereal disease among the ancient Hebrews.

But what of their deeper origins? Each STD, be it a virus, bacteria or protozoan, has taken a different evolutionary path to its present day existence. Many were likely present in other animals first, later mutating to survive in humans. Once the trans-species leap was made, the proliferation of each disease became tied to a complex array of factors including the movement of people – facilitated by ships, roads, airplanes,

urbanization and globalization – and the sexual practices they brought with them.

For a glimpse into the development of a new STD with worldwide implications, we need only look back as far as 1981, when the Centers for Disease Control first reported what would later be known as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV. Today, there are approximately 35 million people infected with HIV worldwide, a staggering number considering the first human case probably occurred as recently as the 1920s, when a hunter in the Belgian Congo may have come into contact with blood infected with the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, the chimpanzee forebearer of HIV. In the future, old STDs will keep evolving and new ones will continue to emerge, underscoring the importance of their diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control.

Capability imperfectly captured by TCEs BY Maddie Pickens The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s the season of Teacher-Course Evaluations — time for the professor to surreptitiously step out of the room while students exact their revenge for every class delay, harshly graded assignment and stringent cellphone policy. Oh, and they probably evaluate the professor’s teaching ability, too, somewhere in there. Iowa recently incurred national attention after a bill was brought to light that would effectively make the continued employment of professors dependent on these types of student evaluations. The bill is not likely to pass, as it was introduced almost four months ago and has languished in the education committee ever since. However, it has generated national conversation on the role of TCEs when determining professor effectiveness. The sponsor of the bill, Republican Sen. Mark Chelgren, told The Chronicle of Higher Education that the bill was inspired by rising college costs nationwide. “There doesn’t seem to be any [stipulation] where the professor understands that when they leave at the end of the school year, they’re leaving with a couple hundred thousand dollars,” Chelgren said, “but that the students they’re teaching are paying huge amounts of money to be there. … I would say that the professors need to understand that their customers are those students.” While Chelgren appears to be almost entirely ignoring the presence of adjunct professors and graduate teaching assistants — most of whom are hardly leaving each school year with “a couple hundred thousand dollars” — his argument revealed a much more insidious perspective. Yes, students are paying to attend university, and many are paying through the nose. But that only entitles them to a good education, not good grades. For many filling out TCEs, those lines are blurry. While some students may be mature enough to recognize that a harsh grader does not make a bad teacher, others may not be. Professor Philip Stark, a statistics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, published a study about the effectiveness of course evaluations. His team found that, while students can evaluate some aspects of teaching, TCEs are “at best tenuously connected” to evaluating teaching effectiveness. This comes about as a result of various factors: Response rates may be less than 100 percent, making students who are particularly satisfied or upset with a course being more likely to fill out the evaluation. Sample sizes for smaller classes are smaller and more prone to bias. Furthermore, it is not statistically possible for every professor to be “above average,” even if they are a perfectly fine teacher. Student interest in the courses affects evaluations. The fact that freshmen have less experience than seniors affects evaluations. The list goes on. There are new studies being published every year that show that ratings of “effectiveness” can be incredibly subjective and depend on factors such as race and gender. White, male professors get higher ratings, even when all else is held equal. For example, in a North Carolina study where students took the same online course, they ranked a female professor higher when she pretended to be male, and a male professor lower when he pretended to be female. The effectiveness of TCEs can swing the other way as well — from a record that is too harsh to a record that is too soft. “If I knew my course evaluation could get someone fired, I wouldn’t change the way I fill them out,” said Ian Barton, a UA pre-business freshman, when asked whether he would grade more harshly if he knew a professor’s retention rested on his evaluation. “I wouldn’t want to purposefully fire someone.” Some students could go even further than Barton and, in an effort to view tough teaching situations with maturity, sugarcoat their evaluations — making them an even less effective metric. Should teacher course evaluations be taken into account when evaluating professors? Absolutely. But these evaluations should occur holistically. More importantly, the concept of “student as customer” needs to be considered very carefully. Perhaps it’s noble of the Iowa lawmakers to consider students mature enough to balance their evaluations. But, it could also be an incorrect assumption.

Court rule is legitimate judge BY Jacob Winkelman The Daily Wildcat

L

ast week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. The case, the penultimate of this year’s term, could potentially strike down all samesex marriage bans in the U.S. A decision will be handed down in June, but most pundits say it could go either way with Justices Kennedy and Roberts providing the eventual swing votes. Prior to the arguments, most experts assumed marriage equality would emerge victorious after the Supreme Court’s 2012 decision to invalidate the Defense of Marriage Act and the gaining prevalence and popularity of same-sex marriage. This optimism, however, was somewhat dissipated after multiple justices expressed reservations about changing a definition that “has been with us for millennia.” Ignoring this grossly inaccurate statement that discounts hundreds and thousands of years of polygamy, “untraditional” families and multiple civilizations that have had same-sex unions, both proponents and opponents of marriage equality are still

preparing for all possible outcomes. One of the more common tropes seen in media coverage surrounding the case has been the overly simplistic notion that a win for marriage equality would also be a win for Republican politicians. Greg Daniels, co-director of ASUA Pride Alliance, explained how conservative candidates may get an easy way out of their opposition to marriage equality if it becomes the law of the land. Instead of arguing to discriminate against a class of people, who also happen to be voters and donors, Republicans could move on from the issue and stop straddling appeasement of their far-right base and mainstream voters. While this would certainly make life easier for Republicans, this popular sentiment seems too optimistic, since a sizable portion of GOP primary voters still oppose marriage equality. A recent poll from Quinnipiac University found “American voters support samesex marriage 58-34 percent, with strong support from every party, gender and age group except Republicans, who are opposed 59-33 percent.” One conservative politician in particular has already made vocal his commitment to “traditional marriage,” regardless of what the Supreme Court decides. Mike Huckabee, presumed

presidential candidate (although he hasn’t officially announced), had this to say: “One thing I am angry about, though, … is this notion of judicial supremacy. … Some aspirants to the presidency say, ‘Well, that’s settled. It’s the law of the land.’ No, it’s not the law of the land.” And this: “Constitutionally, the courts cannot make a law, they can interpret one and then the legislature has to create enabling legislation and the executive has to sign it and has to enforce it.” And this: “I respect the courts, but the Supreme Court is only that — the supreme of the courts. It is not the supreme being. It cannot overrule God.” First, let’s quickly explain why former Gov. Huckabee is wrong. Courts, and specifically the Supreme Court, have been enabled with judicial review since Marbury v. Madison in 1803. This means the Supreme Court determines the constitutionality of a single law or the correct law in the event there is two or more conflicting laws. If the Supreme Court decides that same-sex marriage is a right under the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause, they are not, in fact, adding to the amendment or creating a law. Rather, they are declaring bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, thus removing any legal barriers to marriage equality.

from promoting ethnic Palestinian history or culture on the basis that such education would constitute a national security threat. Not surprisingly, as former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said, “Palestinian education and propaganda are more dangerous to Israel than Palestinian weapons.” Israel’s ethnic studies ban (labeled officially as Amendment 40 to the Budget Principles Law) is known as the “Nakba Law” because it prohibits state-funded bodies from teaching historical narratives of Palestinian suffering that coincided with the formation of Israel as a settler state displacing the indigenous population. The Nakba, or catastrophe in Arabic, occurred before, during and after Israel’s state declaration in 1948, when armed political militia forces merged to form the Israeli military and conquered three quarters of historic Palestine. The military forces of the new state, rooted in a decades-old, quasi-religious political movement of Jewish nationalism called Zionism, uprooted 800,000 (or 85 percent) of indigenous Palestinians across 1,300 localities (of which 531 towns and villages were completely destroyed), scattering the newly-made refugees throughout the region and beyond. Today, the refugees and their descendants, who number several million, are languishing in UN-operated camps, with four million under a 45-year Israeli military occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and 1.5 million Palestinians living with third-class citizenship within Israel. The truth is often a bitter pill to swallow. In order to make honest assessments of history we must confront — rather than ignore or repress — perspectives that challenge the status quo. — Gabriel Schivone

For some, Israel’s independence day celebrates the ‘light that shines over the Jewish people.’ For others, it perpetuates the country’s colonialism and oppression. When I think of Yom Ha’atzmaut, I think of freedom, independence and survival. It is an important day for the Jewish people because 67 years ago, a long-lived dream finally came true, and Israel was officially recognized as a nation. To me, this day represents everything that Jews have sought after for countless years. On this day, we celebrate how far we’ve come and how much we’ve achieved. Three years after the tragedy of the Holocaust ended, the state of Israel was established. Six million people perished in the most horrific chapter of human history simply because they were Jewish. Yet, after years of suffering, they were finally given a safe haven, a place where Jews all over the world can visit or live and feel at home. Israel is the light that shines over the Jewish people. While visiting Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem, I heard a story about a man living in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. Many people around him did not understand him; they couldn’t comprehend how, after everything he was going through, he was still so happy about his life, always singing and dancing. He simply responded, “As long as I’m alive, I am going to live.” This, in essence, is the spirit of the Jewish people.

So yes, Mr. Huckabee, the Supreme Court is able to settle this issue. Unfortunately for other Republican candidates, Huckabee’s ranting will force marriage equality to remain in the sphere of discourse regardless of the case’s outcome. Each candidate will be forced either to appeal to the base and side with Huckabee, or accept the process outlined in our Constitution and risk losing the nomination. This argument by Huckabee and other extreme Christian Groups isn’t just stupid, it’s dangerous. If half of our political spectrum doesn’t believe in the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, much bigger problems will arise. For Democrats, Huckabee’s actions are a mixed bag. On one hand, forcing Republicans to talk continuously about samesex marriage will only help the Democrat nominee in the general election. On the other, no one wants to see powerful politicians rebuking the authority of government branches for the sake of religion. Which, by the way, has no place in any conversation concerning something’s legality.

When I stepped off the plane after landing in Israel, I felt different. I couldn’t explain why, but I have spoken with many others who have gone to Israel and experience a similar feeling. It is a feeling of warmth, a feeling of belonging, a feeling of coming home. Israel is the symbol of the Jewish people, the symbol that we will live on through it all. After visiting this holy land, I now chose to live my life by the words I heard at Yad Vashem: “As long as I’m alive, I am going to live.” Throughout all that we have endured, even through the most tragic times, we will survive. Israel means so much to us as a people because it is our past, our present and our future. By staying strong and holding onto what we believe in, the Jewish people have earned their place in this world, in the beautiful land of Israel. This is what we celebrate on Yom Ha’atzmaut. — Leah Cresswell For the Palestinians of Israel and Palestinians in the occupied territories and beyond, Israel’s “independence day” means continued military occupation and colonial settlement of their indigenous lands. Hardly a cause to celebrate. In fact, like the state of Arizona, Israel officially outlaws Palestinians (or anyone, for that matter)

Police Beat BY amber white

The Daily Wildcat

Tobacco bong

A University of Arizona Police Department officer investigated the smell of marijuana in Villa del Puente Residence Hall outside of Room 315 on April 14 at 7:11 p.m. The officer asked the occupant if he knew why there was a marijuana smell coming from his room, and he said he did not. He claimed to live in the room and consented to a room search. There was a small amount of marijuana inside a metal grinder. A glass bong present did not have any marijuana. The student said he used the bong for smoking tobacco. The officer told the student he would be diverted through the Dean of Students Office. The grinder and marijuana were kept as evidence, and the bong was stored as given-up property.

Work for fire

A UA employee in the Arizona Student Unions operations department was catering an event in the Grand Ballroom when she noticed her phone was missing on April 16 at 4:30 p.m. The woman she set her phone down inside the ballroom at 12:30 p.m. and noticed it was missing at 1:40 p.m. None of her coworkers saw her phone or knew where it went. The officer was informed that the operations department hired 13 temporary employees through the staff agency Allstaff Services. The woman told the officer she had a tracking device on her phone, but it was turned off. When the phone was turned on again, the tracker showed the phone was at the intersection of Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard. Two employees from the same department went to the area and said they saw a man hired by Allstaff Services walking out of the Circle K with the woman’s phone. The woman said her phone was a Samsung 3 worth about $150. The two men retrieved the phone peacefully from the man who took it. The woman did not want to press charges but said the suspect was not going to work at the student union anymore.

’Cats need extras to take series over WSU

BY JUSTIN SPEARS

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona men’s golf ended its 2015 season on Wednesday in Pullman, Wash., after finishing in ninth place (+46) in the Pac-12 Championships. This season wasn’t in Arizona’s favor by any means. But fortunately for third-year coach Jim Anderson, there were a few bright spots to build from. There were individuals who made the most out of the season despite it being classified as a down year for the Wildcats. The biggest concern going into the season was how Anderson would coach players who played in two different eras before he was hired in 2012. Making the transition from Rick LaRose, who coached 34 years at Arizona, to Anderson was a courageous step for players such as seniors Brenden Redfern and Alex McMahon. Anderson’s squad had a group of freshmen highlighted by Cunningham to complement the veterans. The scenario was very similar to the Arizona men’s basketball program going from hall of fame head coach Lute Olson to a young Sean Miller. Like Miller, Anderson is known for his success on the recruiting trail and brought in a group of eager golfers highlighted

Arizona baseball won Sunday’s rubber match in a dramatic fashion to take the three-game series at Washington State. The Wildcats (27-18, 1113 Pac-12 Conference) beat the Cougars 2-0 in 11 innings to win their first series since March. After losing five in a row and 11 of its last 13, Arizona has won three of its last four games. With the series tied 1-1, Sunday’s cat fight was tied 0-0 going into the 11th inning. The Wildcats scored the two runs on a dropped fly ball by Cougar center fielder Cameron Frost. In the home half of the 11th inning, Washington State loaded the bases with a pair of singles and a hit batsman before UA closer Tyger Talley (5-0) produced a ground out to get the win. Talley went three innings, giving up just three hits and one walk. Utility player Bobby Dalbec pitched eight innings, giving up five hits and one walk and striking out six. Dalbec and shortstop Kevin Newman scored Arizona’s two runs, but the Wildcats were held to four hits and no UA player had a multi-hit game. Wazzu evened the series

TRACK AND FIELD

Troy, Eastern Kentucky and Youngstown State. The bracket is a favorable field of play for Arizona, considering the Wildcats just won the 2015 Pac-12 Championship last week against teams such as No. 1 USC, No. 3 UCLA, No. 6 Washington, No. 16 Stanford and No. 19 ASU. If Arizona can win in the best conference in golf, the Wildcats should be able to contend against the teams in the Notre Dame regional. “They deserve to be that No. 1

In a battle of two Pac-12 Conference heavyweights, UCLA delivered a decisive blow to Arizona softball’s chances of hosting an NCAA Regional, sweeping the Wildcats three games to none in Los Angeles. The three losses move No. 16 Arizona to 37-15 overall and 12-9 in Pac-12 play heading into the final weekend of regular season play. With the sweep, the UA faces an uphill battle of earning a national seed for the postseason as No. 2 Oregon looms this weekend. Facing its toughest conference competition thus far, the Wildcats could not keep up with the No. 7 Bruins, who opened the series with a 9-1 run-ruled victory Friday evening. The Wildcats grabbed a secondinning lead on a home run from outfielder Katiyana Mauga, but that would be the UA’s only offensive production of the day. Arizona could not break through against UCLA’s pitching, stranding seven runners on base, five of those in scoring position. The Bruins, on the other hand, did break through with a seven-run fifth inning rally that ended with a walkoff walk. Michelle Floyd started on the mound for Arizona and allowed two runs over two innings before handing the ball over to Siera Phillips, who also pitched a pair of innings while giving up three runs. Trish Parks closed out the loss for the Wildcats and fared no better than her counterparts, allowing four runs over .2 innings. In the second game of the series on Saturday, Arizona again struggled on the mound and at the plate in a 6-3 defeat. Similar to game one, the UA took an opening lead on a homer, this time a three-run first inning shot by catcher Chelsea Goodacre. Those would be the first and last runs of the game for the Wildcats. Arizona’s lineup, which entered the weekend with the highest batting average in the country, was held to four hits the entire game. The Bruins’ first three runs also came off homers. First a solo shot in the opening inning and then a game-tying, two-run blast in the third. Floyd allowed a pair of walks that started a UCLA rally in the fifth inning. Floyd, the starter, was relieved by Parks, who then gave up a two-run single to make it 5-3 in the Bruins favor.

with a 5-3 win on Saturday and stopped Arizona’s two-game run of scoring at least 14 runs. Washington State second baseman Shea Donlin hit a single with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh to score two and break a 3-3 tie and lift the Cougars to victory. Second baseman Scott Kingery, Newman and catcher Riley Moore, in his 200th start for Arizona, went 0-for-10 combined. Moore is the first Wildcat to make 200 starts since Brad Glenn had 213 from 2006 to 2009. Dalbec cut WSU’s lead to 2-1 with a solo home run in the second. In the seventh, UA outfielder Jared Oliva hit an RBI double and then tied the game up when he ran home on a Cougar error. Nathan Bannister (6-2) took the loss after giving up five runs on 11 hits in 6.2 innings of work. Kingery’s 19-game streak of safely reaching base came to an end. On Friday, the Wildcats beat the Cougars 14-5, thanks to 15 hits and a season-high 10 walks. All nine starters on offense got a base knock, six had multi-hit games, four scored at least two runs and three had three RBIs. The 14 runs were the

Wildcats’ most in a conference game since 2013 against USC and the most on the road in a Pac-12 game since they dropped 14 on Oregon State in 2009. After going down 2-0 in the first inning, the Wildcats responded by scoring 10 runs spread out over the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings to take the lead. Cody Hamlin (5-3) pitched eight innings, giving up four runs on 10 hits and one walk to earn his first win since March. In the fifth, Moore started a five-run inning with an RBI double. After Dalbec got hit by a pitch, designated hitter Michael Hoard drove in Moore. J.J. Matijevic hit a home run over the wall in straightaway center, his second long ball in as many games and his 10th RBI in those two games. Moore hit two triples and had three RBIs, right fielder Zach Gibbons drove in three runs, Hoard scored three runs and Matijevic also hit a double, scored twice and had three RBIs. Up next for the Wildcats is Washington this weekend, their last Pac-12 home series.

early Sunday by scoring four first-inning runs, all off Arizona’s Parks. Another run in the second made it 5-0 Bruins. The two teams traded a pair of runs in the third inning to make it 7-2 UCLA heading into the fourth. That’s when the Wildcats broke out for five runs, including a game-tying grand slam by shortstop Kellie Fox. The redshirt senior began her career at UCLA before transferring to Arizona.

by George Cunningham, who was ranked as the second-best golfer in the country, according to Golfweek and the American Junior Golf Association. The Wildcats opened up the 2015 season at home at the Sewailo Golf Club in late January for the Arizona Intercollegiate and left with a bitter taste in their mouths after ASU and Max Rottluff came in and stole the show. Rottluff shot a 203 (-10) and won the individual tournament while the Sun Devils would go on to win the event. The following week, Cunningham received the opportunity to play alongside former Wildcat and current PGA golfer Jim Furyk at the Northern Trust Open Collegiate Showcase in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Cunningham shot 72 strokes (+1) in the individual competition. Cunningham teamed up with Furyk in the team competition along side athletic director Greg Byrne and Wildcat Club member Peter Evans. The group finished in 11th place just before Cunningham had to take off for Hawaii and the John Burns Invitational. The Wildcats were in search of a motivating win as the month of March hit. Anderson made the call to install four freshmen into the starting lineup to go along with McMahon. The lineup for the Lamkin Grips San Diego Classic in Chula Vista, Calif., consisted of freshmen Cunningham, Max Donohue, Jacob Kreuz, Peter Koo and senior McMahon. The Wildcats saw progression after the young lineup was able to place seventh in that event. Anderson maintained that lineup for the remainder of year, considering it will most likely remain the same for the next three seasons. The Wildcats’ chances of postseason play after the Pac-12 Championships were nailed shut in April.

Wildcats by committing five of the team’s six errors, including a pair in the bottom of the fourth. UCLA capitalized on Arizona’s fielding mishaps to score eight runs in the frame, all unearned, giving the Bruins a commanding 15-7 lead. With the lead at eight, the Wildcats needed a run in the fifth inning to continue the game but could not muster any more production. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher

Arizona placed ninth in the Pac-12 Championships by shooting 46-over-par over the course of four rounds, which concluded the regular season for the Wildcats. Cunningham was placed on the All-Pac-12 second team, and the freshman could hear his name called for the NCAA Regionals. Arizona will lose McMahon and Redfern, but the core of the four soonto-be sophomores and another solid recruiting class for Anderson could be the recipe for success come next spring.

seed after winning conference this year and beating out USC, UCLA and Washington,” Ianello said. “We looked at the competition that is going to be at this regional. We sized it up.” The Wildcats will rely heavily on the insight of Weaver, and the junior is looking forward to prove that she transferred from Notre Dame to Arizona to win a national championship. Weaver transferred from the Fighting Irish after her freshman season. Weaver’s success at Notre Dame was off the charts, as she was named Big East Freshman of the Year and was placed on the All-Big East First Team along with being the No. 1 ranked golfer in the country at the end of the fall season. “I’m excited to go back to Notre Dame,” Weaver said. “I do know that the course

can get pretty hard, and the greens are sometimes tricky, but I think I will be able to give my team some helpful tips heading into regionals.” The Wildcats will play match-play rather than stroke play at the NCAA Regional. Match-play is scored between only two players, and whoever has the best score on the hole wins the hole. “Coach Laura and coach Derek [Radley] have prepared us well by doing match-play drills out at practice,” Weaver said. “A lot of us have experience playing match stroke, so I feel like we will be well ready to head into nationals.” Arizona will have to adjust accordingly, but at this point in the season, championship squads adjust on a dime. The NCAA Regionals begin Thursday.

“Age of Ultron” > “Age of Adaline”

To the surprise of no one, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” dominated the U.S. domestic box office, bringing in over $187 million. The next closest film? “The Age of Adaline,” with over $6 million. However, the sequel to 2012’s “Marvel’s The Avengers” fell $20 million short of its predecessor, which made over $207 million in its first weekend. Although having the second-highest opening weekend of all time, the forecasts were actually much more optimistic, with many expecting “Avengers: Age of Ultron” to gross north of $200 million. Some actually suggest that part of the reason for the diminished box office is due to another major entertainment event from this weekend: the Saturday night boxing bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Viewers might have been pulled away from their local cinemas, opting instead to watch the fight at a bar or at home.

Mayweather beats Pacquiao by unanimous decision

The fight that’s been years in the making finally came on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Mayweather, undefeated at 47-0, faced off against Pacquiao, who came into the fight largely as the fan favorite, for the welterweight world championship. To begin, Jamie Foxx performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” with several riffs and capped the song with a couple of “hallelujahs.” The interpretation of the national anthem saw some online backlash. The fight went all 12 rounds, and, to the boos of the crowd, it was announced that Mayweather had won by unanimous decision. Not only did Mayweather improve his record to 48-0, but he took home just shy of $180 million dollars for participating in the fight. That’s just $7 million less than the entire opening weekend take of “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Breaking it down by the minute, Mayweather was making nearly $5 million dollars for every minute in the ring.

Royal baby is born

The U.S. may not have a monarchy like our predecessors from the U.K., but nonetheless, the excitement over the British royal family reaches into the hearts of people worldwide. Nearly two years ago, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton gave birth to Prince George, who became third in line for the crown and the first child of the newlyweds. On Saturday morning, the future King and Queen of England added another addition to their family with the birth of a baby girl. Various social media outlets celebrated the birth of the royal baby, including an exclusive Snapchat story dedicated to the announcement. Though the girl’s name has yet to be announced by the royal family, the most popular contenders are “Alice,” “Charlotte” and “Diana.”

No “Seinfeld” for you, Netflix There’s no question that networks and streaming services will pay a pretty penny for exclusive rights to popular TV shows, and Hulu just joined the game with a huge acquisition: The company bought rights to stream all 180 episodes of the ’90s sitcom “Seinfeld.” Aside from the box office success that was “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the sale may have been the most mind-boggling amount over the past week. It’s estimated that each episode was sold between $700,000 to $1 million each, bringing the total in at around $180 million. Luckily, Hulu subscribers won’t have to fork out millions to watch their favorite episodes of “Seinfeld,” which is set to hit the streaming service in June. — Compiled by Mia Moran

STUDENTS STUDY and work out equations together in the Main Library on Thursday. The library is one of many locations on campus offering solutions to help de-stress during finals week.

Surviving finals week BY CHELSEA COOK The Daily Wildcat

The most dreaded time of the year has arrived — finals week. Students are now starting to buckle down and study for their exams, as the first finals begin Friday. In preparation for the hard days ahead, Student Affairs and Enrollment Management has put together a “Survival List” of activities to help students through this stressful time. Each day, from Wednesday until May 14, events geared toward relieving stress from final exams will be held across campus. Throughout the week, there will be pancake breakfasts, visiting therapy dogs, coffee breaks, free snacks in the Campus Health Lobbies, extended tutoring hours at the Think Tank and free massages. The events list with dates and times can be found on the Student Affairs and Enrollment Management website. The Main Library is one spot on campus that is only growing more crowded as the week goes on. “We looked at the gate counts for our libraries this past week compared to the first week of March, which was selected to represent a typical week,” said Travis Teetor, operations manager for Access and Information Services at the Main Library. “We discovered that we had 75 percent more people pass through the gates at the entrance of all our libraries.” Teetor said he believes the library has recently become a popular place to study because there are so many different locations

where individuals can settle down, such as group study rooms available for reservation and the new silent study room on the third floor. Throughout the day, students from an array of majors flock to the library and ask for assistance finding books. Teetor said because of the large amount of students the librarians interact with, it is difficult to pick out the majors or classes that frequent the library most often. The Think Tank is another location on campus where it is obvious that finals time is rolling around. “There is always a highlighted sense of anticipation in the Think Tank as finals approach,” said Dorothy Briggs, Think Tank director. “Finals are the culmination of a semester of hard work.” Students come to the Think Tank throughout the year for help on everything from homework to larger exams, but finals are what bring in the largest numbers to the tutoring rooms. “Students are anxious about finals for many reasons,” Briggs said. “Certainly, there is concern about how they will do and about how to best prepare, but there are positive reasons to be anxious, too. The positive reasons include excitement about being one step closer to realizing a major goal and anticipation of summer jobs, classes or internships.” In order to help students in the next two weeks, the Think Tank has organized many events that will aid students with taking finals, including a finals preparation workshop, a writing palooza and extended math tutoring hours.

Life in the dorms is also becoming more hectic and quiet, as students are beginning to buckle down and focus on their studies. The Residence Hall Association is another organization that regularly supports students during finals. “We try to offer programs that are both relaxing and reflective,” said Lysette Davis, community director for the Residential Honors Experience. “The resident assistants work hard to plan events and programs that are engaging and meaningful to wrap up the year.” The semester’s finals are not only a test of all the knowledge that students have acquired over the past semester, but also represent this academic year coming to a close. For some, that may be frightening, while others may be excited. Either way, Residence Life tries to create events to make this transition period easier for students. Davis, who is also a UA graduate student, offered a piece of advice for students aiming to ace their finals. “Change your Netflix password; get off of Facebook and Snapchat,” Davis said. “If you can practice focusing for periods of time without technology, it will help you for those long finals. For residents living on campus, be courteous to your neighbors who may have a big presentation or paper due by reducing noise volume.”

John Green’s ‘Paper Towns’ delivers adventure with a side of wisdom when he shows up to school the morning after, the mysterious Margo has become even more mysterious as she disappears without a trace. It’s all fun and games as Q and his friends try to piece together Margo’s missing person case, until the trail of bread crumbs Margo has left seems to lead to nowhere. Every piece Q seems to put together reveals more about the girl he only knew from afar. In a cross-country hunt, Q is once again in the minivan chasing after Margo’s hijinks. But when the Margo mystery resolves itself as less than miraculous, Q’s imagined notions of her inner workings turn out to be just that — imaginary. “Paper Towns” explores more than the romantic, idealized versions of people who we only pretend to know. As Q puts it, “The idea is not only wrong but dangerous. What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person.” Meeting Margo may not have been Q’s miracle, but thankfully for readers of “Paper Towns,” their relationship creates an effervescent, thoughtprovoking story that goes far beyond the boy-meets-manicpixie-dream-girl dynamic.

BY MIA MORAN

The Daily Wildcat

The manic pixie dream girl: a trope of the unattainable quirky girl coveted by the male protagonist of fictional works, most often in young-adult novel and romantic comedies such as “(500) Days of Summer.” While watching the trailer for the July-premiering “Paper Towns” movie, another John Green book-to-movie adaptation, one may assume this is the same theme present in both the book and the film. After all, the trailer opens with protagonist Quentin “Q” Jacobsen (Nat Wolff ) calling his neighbor Margo Roth Spiegelman (Cara Delevigne) his “miracle.” “The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle,” Q says. “My miracle was this: Out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.” But while Green sets up the book with this premise in mind, he spends the rest of the novel disproving this trope — and taking the reader along Q and Margo’s adventures. For those who may only be familiar with Green through the book or movie version of “The Fault in Our Stars,” or his 2005 “Looking for Alaska,” they may have come to expect at least one thing from his works: tears. Luckily for fans of his work who want to read the author without requiring a box of tissues as a reading companion, “Paper Towns” offers a welcome respite from his more emotional fare. Simply put, “Paper Towns” is a road-trip novel that includes not one but two important road trips at the heart of the

PENGUIN BOOKST

story. The novel begins with Margo inviting Q on a longwinded quest for revenge, employing Q as the getaway driver of his Chrysler minivan. Their quest takes them around Central Florida, stopping at stereotypical road-trip locations such as Wal-Mart and 7-Eleven, and venturing

to more uncommon spots, such as when they sneak into the SunTrust building and SeaWorld after hours. After having an exhaustive, exhilarating night of revels, Q expects things to change with Margo, who has gone from being just his neighbor to his partner-in-crime overnight. But
