ith finals week upon us, students and professors alike are preoccupied with the tests, papers and projects that determine the majority of many students’ grades. This stress will cause some students to cheat, violating the UA’s Code of Academic Integrity . “Cheating isn’t new; it’s been around forever,” said Chrissy Lieberman , associate dean of students.

Finals Survival Week relieves stress on Mall BY TERRIE BRIANNA
The Daily Wildcat
Finals week approaches as various UA organizations set up events to help students cope throughout the week. Finals Survival Week’s goals are to educate students on how to take care of themselves, teach them effective ways to study and provide stress reduction programming. The events kick off this afternoon on the UA Mall with a water park until 4 p.m. The water park includes four-story water slides that aim to release stress and provide some fun. Before that, from noon to 2
p.m., there will be yoga, back rubs, therapy dogs, a photo booth, fresh fruit, ice cream and giveaways on the Mall. “The goal isn’t necessarily to distract students; it’s to help students be successful,” said Lynn Zwaagstra, director of Campus Recreation. “Many of the Finals Survival Week programs consist of tutoring support, study support, expanded hours and locations for quiet study time and the like.” Yoga and Spinning are two free fitness programs offered by Campus Recreation. According to Zwaagstra, these

violations of the Code of Academic Integrity , according to data from the Dean of Students Office. The colleges with the top three numbers of violations are the College of Science, with a total of 1,311 violations over the last five years; the college of Social and Behavioral Sciences, with 731; and the College of Humanities, with 655. Cheating can take many forms, from the classic idea of looking at another student’s test to copying a sentence from Wikipedia. Plagiarism is overwhelmingly the most common form of academic integrity violation, according to

“The main purpose of having a group out there helping clean up a site is to support the maintenance staff and report any issues they find,” Hickman said. “We expect them to be observant and report any maintenance issues with infrastructure and equipment on public property. We do not take this lightly, and it is a serious commitment.” Hickman said the groups are required to do cleanups at least once per month for six months and report back to her to receive recognition. Groups must also have at least five people interested in adopting a site for a request to be considered. The UA African Student Association was presented with a certificate of gratitude on May 2 at the Dunbar Cultural Center to honor the club for adopting the street section two years ago from Campbell Avenue to Speedway Boulevard to Broadway Boulevard through the organization Tucson Clean & Beautiful.

Seniors dazzle judges at Design Day BY amanda oien
The Daily Wildcat
A year’s worth of work came together for seniors at the UA College of Engineering’s 13th Annual Engineering Design Day on Tuesday. The Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Program divides engineering seniors into teams, working with sponsors such as Raytheon, Tucson Electric Power and Honeywell. Engineering Design Day consists of project demonstrations, judging and big-day finishes with an award ceremony where teams hope to see their hard work pay off. In a booklet provided by the UA College of Engineering, Jeff Goldberg, dean of the College of Engineering, describes Engineering Design Day as the best day of the year. “This is the day when we show the world how engineers design solutions to societal problems and improve the quality of life,” he writes. Goldberg also mentions how successful Engineering Design Day 2015 has been, describing how “[this] year we have more than 400 students majoring in various engineering disciplines demonstrating nearly 80 completely original engineering projects, some of which will go on to be commercial products.” Ara Arabyan is an associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering. “UA’s Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Program is one of the largest programs of its kind across the nation,” Arabyan said. “Engineering Design Day brings together and projects the Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Program, as well as capstone projects from the aerospace engineering, agricultural and biosystems engineering, chemical and environmental engineering, and civil engineering programs.” The day’s events were held on the UA Mall and in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Grand Ballroom, featuring everything from a recycling lettuce wash water with ozone-

injected mircobubbles to a smartphoneintegrated gunlock. Michel Mora and Jose Luttmann, both mechanical engineering seniors graduating in December, worked with their sponsor, Honeywell, to develop an electromechanical shaft disconnect for generators. Luttmann said throughout the design process, they used analysis by “going back to the books and busting out the equations to really understand mathematically what was going on.” Mora explained that their ultimate goal was to smoothly present the project and win awards, while Luttman added that he was
looking to show off his team’s research. “We’ve worked hard on this and like to see when people say, ‘Wow, that was cool,’” Luttman said. After a long year of research, calculating and building, Mora said the best part of Engineering Design Day was seeing his colleagues and peers getting excited over something he and his team have worked hard on. Arabyan said Engineering Design Day is a great way to showcase the creativity and engineering skills of UA students, not only to the public but to younger, aspiring engineers as well.
“Engineering Design Day represents the culmination of a year of work not only by hundreds of students, but also dozens of dedicated staff, mentors and faculty who all take pride in the outcome of these projects,” Arabyan said. “It is such a great pleasure to be in a place where this tremendous accomplishment is displayed in an exciting atmosphere.”

physical activities have proven to reduce stress and increase concentration. Leslie Lopez, a psychology sophomore, said she copes with stress by engaging in physical activity between study periods. On May 12, Campus Recreation is holding a 20-Minute Triathlon, in which students are encouraged to participate in a 150-yard swim, 3-mile bike ride and half-mile run. The Free Late-Night Pancake Breakfast will be held on Thursday from 10 p.m. to midnight at Cactus Grill, Park Avenue Dining and Bear Down Kitchen. “I think [the pancake breakfast] is a good mechanism for [students] to have something fun to do,” said Todd Millay, assistant director of Retail and Contract Management of the Arizona Student Unions. “I’m sure many
of them are studying late at night, and they’d be able to take a break and enjoy a conversation with their friends and free food.” Alex Lambert, an art history freshman, said watching Netflix and working out between study periods helps her deal with stress so she does not become drained. “I do think the events are helpful, because it gives students an excuse to take a break from studying,” Lambert said. As part of Finals Survival Week, there will be a game night with therapy dogs on Thursday on the UA Main Library’s second floor from 6-10 p.m. “This one’s my favorite because I love dogs, and they calm you down,” said Jennifer Hiatt, Residence Life executive director. “The dogs just give you love, and that’s important while stressed because sometimes your friends and family are far away, but dogs are forever.” Hiatt said they brought together a large group of people
to brainstorm events that welcomed participation from all students. She said the Free Late Night Pancake Breakfast has grown in the past few years, and that it is a great time to see faculty, staff and administrators serving students and wishing them good luck on their finals. Zwaagstra added that there will also be several stands on the Mall run by sponsoring departments that will offer healthy snacks in order to help students eat healthier food. Adrian Montano, a freshman studying pre-neuroscience and cognitive science, said he relieves stress through exercise and outdoor activities. “Ice cream socials are my favorite,” Montano said, “because everyone loves ice cream, and it’s a chance for everyone to talk and not worry about school.” — Terrie Brianna @DailyWildcat

the office of academic integrity at the UA, making up 58 percent of violations for the 2013-2014 school year. “What that would tell me is we need to spend more time upfront talking about the proper methods for doing research and citations,” said Paul Melendez, professor of practice in management organizations for the Eller College of Management and founder of the Center for Leadership Ethics. Often, the students found violating the code are freshmen. “It might be [that] freshmen are more fearful of getting bad grades,” said Aleksander Ellis, Nelson professor of management and the research director for the Center for Leadership Ethics.
Understanding why people cheat
“We really shouldn’t be surprised that students are cheating, given the way that we reward students,” Ellis said. He points to the reward system the university has for those who achieve high grades. “We’re rewarding high grades but hoping for knowledge,” Ellis said. “We’re actually creating the structures within the university to promote [cheating].” Students who receive high grades might not only receive more scholarship opportunities, but graduate school and job opportunities as well. “When the stakes are high, people are more apt to cheat,” Lieberman said. Melendez asserted there are three things that are key to understanding how and why people cheat: the individual’s motivation, opportunity and how they rationalize their actions. “Rationalization is what people do when they know they’re about to do something that’s wrong, but they keep telling themselves, ‘Oh, it’s not that bad,’ or ‘Oh, it’ll be OK,’” Melendez said. “People will rationalize.” Some ways that students rationalize cheating is by thinking that everyone else is doing it or by thinking of cheating as a way to balance the playing field in a class they consider to be unfair, Melendez said. Despite steps that some professors take to dissuade cheating through implementing seating charts, having different versions of the test and having proctors, cheating still occurs. “As a student, you have a lot of opportunity … to cheat,” Melendez said. Some students can also be caught unaware that they were cheating if they are not familiar with the policies or make a mistake by forgetting to cite a piece of information. “There’s a problem where a lot of students aren’t aware that what they’re doing is unethical and is actually violating the rules,” Ellis said. “It’s also hard because things are changing so rapidly, and there are all these new options out there to keep up [with] and make sure students are aware what they’re doing is unethical.” Ellis suggests clear

However, it may not be the best time to give incoming students information on plagiarism. “There’s just so much information, too, when you’re first coming that I think if you don’t come here with a strong understanding of what plagiarism is, then it’s just one more thing to manage,” Lieberman said.

Locals need rights over state BY Jacob Winkelman
The Daily Wildcat
A
small but important lawsuit was filed earlier last month in the Maricopa County Superior Court that could have far-reaching implications if successful. The case, submitted by the Flagstaff Living Wage Coalition, argues that the Arizona State Legislature illegally passed a law prohibiting any cities, municipalities or counties from setting their own minimum wages. Arizona’s minimum wage is currently $8.05 per hour. Flagstaff has one of the highest costs of living in the nation. The push to raise the wage in Northern Arizona ran up against the 2013 ban on wage increases, prompting the lawsuit. While the case may seem complicated, it’s actually quite simple. In 2006, Arizona voters passed Proposition 202, which says that cities “may by ordinance regulate minimum wages and benefits within its geographic boundaries” as long as they are not lower than the state’s minimum wage. The Arizona Constitution directly prohibits the state Legislature from repealing or changing anything passed through a voter referendum without a supermajority, and even then, any adjustments to a law passed by voters can only be for the purpose of furthering the original intentions of the proposition. This is not a difficult decision: The 2013 law passed by the state Legislature does not further the intentions of Prop 202. It goes directly against the will of the voters and was not passed with a supermajority. Eva Putzova, Flagstaff City Councilmember and chair of the Flagstaff Living Wages Coalition, said the intention of the coalition is to clarify this situation for voters. Smaller communities want to set the minimum wages as they deem appropriate, and the law passed by the state Legislature only prevents what voters have already decided. Unfortunately, this situation highlights a troubling and ironic trend in Republican state legislatures across the country. As anyone who follows politics will know, however remotely, the Republican Party loves to describe itself as the party of small government. One can hardly go an hour of watching Fox News or listening to conservative radio stations without hearing some mention of illegal executive actions, President Barack Obama’s tyranny and other horror stories about the federal government’s ever-increasing size. And while every national and local Republican legislator will endlessly discuss why smaller, localized governments are better, their actions seem to contradict this dogma. Small towns across the U.S. have started adopting the more liberal and popular policies their states have refused to pass. Whether it’s raising minimum wages, instituting legal protections for the LGBTQ community, controlling firearms, protecting the environment or increasing access to women’s health care, small cities have passed or discussed passing popular policies — only to see their state legislators take those decisions away from them. Arkansas prohibits cities from protecting LGBTQ people, Alabama does not require communities to implement paid sick leave, Pennsylvania disallows any government other than the state government from setting gun restrictions, and many other Republican-led states have identical or similar legislation. When Republicans say they favor “small government,” it’s clear from their actions that they only favor governments that fit their conservative agenda. As soon as a “small government” starts passing laws Republicans disagree with, the bigger, state government suddenly knows best, and power is usurped from the local community. It’s hypocritical, undemocratic and repugnant. The state and federal governments exist to set the general guidelines, or the bare minimums, for how people and businesses must act. If local communities want to expand government in their own lives through higher minimum wages, more gun control, more protected classes of citizens, bans on fracking or bans on plastic bags, then they have a right to do so. Hopefully the courts, at least in Arizona, will restore power to the people. — Jacob Winkelman is a sophomore studying political science and English. Follow him @JacobWink94
Addicts, not criminals BY Cooper Temple
The Daily Wildcat
L
ast week, Michael Botticelli was appointed to the position of Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. This agency is important because, according to The New York Times, it “devises and controls the budget for national drug policies, assists the State Department and Drug Enforcement Administration in dealing with governments of countries from which drugs are exported … and works with domestic health and law enforcement officials on strategies to stem the supply and abuse of drugs.” Botticelli’s new role is significant due to his experience. He is the first recovered addict to hold the position, following in the footsteps of previous directors who had only police or military backgrounds. And, because of his past, he is more understanding of the horrors that accompany mental illnesses such as addiction, as well as the perseverance required to overcome them. “Locking people up for minor drug offenses, and especially people with substance-use disorders, is not the answer,” Botticelli said, as reported by The New York Times. “It’s cruel. It’s costly. And it doesn’t make the public any safer.” Botticelli’s stance is spot-on. In the U.S. between 2001 and 2013, drug convictions represented the sole offenses of over half of the people serving
more than one year in federal prison. Nearly 100,000 prisoners are currently serving time for drug-related crimes. Of those on parole or probation, over 30 percent were still using illicit drugs, which is a higher rate than adults who aren’t on parole. And in 2013, the Obama administration requested $25.6 billion of federal spending for the drug war, most of which went to law enforcement. Imprisoning drug users — especially those charged with minor possession — is costly, ineffective and unhelpful. Using a punitive system of justice with addicts is not only pointless, but often exacerbates the situation by attaching a felony label to those who are convicted. Once released, employers will not hire them, and they often must return to selling drugs in order to survive. The solution is to develop a method that focuses on recovery rather than criminalization. It isn’t only the method that must be altered; the cultural perception of addicts must change as well. “Sadly, addiction for the most part is seen as a choice in this country versus a disease process,” said Liana Condello, director of assessment and referral for Sonora Behavioral Health Hospital. “In my experience, the only choice addicts make is to try [a drug] for the first time, and then the downward spiral begins.” Botticelli’s appointment represents an essential step toward shifting the focus away from America’s prison-first attitude and onto solutions that will actually help solve the problem. Elsewhere in the world, more reasonable tactics are already proving to be effective. “Look at Portugal, for instance,” Condello said.
“They decriminalized all drugs of abuse several years back. They offer treatment versus jail time for abusers and addicts. Now, studies are finding a large decrease in drug use among minors. The government is actually helping control the problem. So, my opinion is that the largest problem we have in America when addressing addiction is the hypocrisy with how our government views it.” Addiction is a mental disability and should not be met with ostracization from society. Alternative pathways exist that are more effective and cost-efficient. In 2014, the average cost of treating addiction was $11,000, while the cost of imprisoning someone for one year ballooned to over $30,000. The issue does not lie with the cost of treatment programs or questions regarding their success rates, it is with the stigmas many Americans hold against those who become addicted to drugs. If the money spent on imprisonment and intense drug regulation was instead reallocated to treatment, addicts’ lives would be saved, and communities would become safer. Addiction does not need to carry a prison sentence, and Botticelli’s appointment will hopefully help to spark a change in an antiquated way of thinking.

Clinton has a lot to learn from Sanders on education BY Martin Forstrom
The Daily Wildcat
P
erhaps the most significant move leftward for Hillary Clinton since her 2008 campaign has been her endorsement of making highquality preschool available to all Americans. This is a part of her broader “Zero to Five” plan that also includes home visits by nurses for all “at-risk mothers” during pregnancy and the first 18 months of their child’s life; this “has been shown to be effective in improving children’s and mothers’ outcomes,” according to the New America Foundation. Her plan would also triple enrollment in Early Head Start (for low-income children up to age three), increase enrollment in Head Start (publicly-funded preschool) by 20 percent and increase funding of the Child Care Block Grant. This is an important development coming from the overwhelming favorite to win the Democratic Party’s nomination. If one had to
choose between sensible early childhood education policy and sensible policy for the other 17-orso years that many Americans will spend in school, quality early childhood education would be the victor. According to a study in the journal Child Development, early childhood development aids in positive social and “cognitiveacademic achievement” decades later in life. This would be more beneficial than focusing on our woefully inadequate system of support for children and their parents during the first five years of life. Especially coupled with Clinton’s support of universal paid family leave, this is, indeed, very strong policy. However, it is not necessary to choose between sensible early education policy and sensible policy for the rest of Americans’ education. There is one candidate who has voiced his support for making free education through graduate school a right of citizenship: Bernie Sanders, Independent senator from Vermont. “Individuals in power should recognize that offering qualified students an education will help

boost the United States’ economic competitiveness on the global stage,” writes the Huffington Post, paraphrasing Sanders. Sanders points to Denmark as a model, where college at every level, including medical school, law school and Ph.D. programs — even for foreigners studying abroad at Danish schools — is free. He sees this as an issue of priorities, of political will and of economic patriotism and social justice. “The folks who control politics in America, the people who control the media aren’t particularly interested in that discussion,” said Sanders to the Huffington Post, commenting on why the issue is not discussed enough publicly. “They’re doing just fine. Ninety-nine percent of all new income being generated is going to the top one percent. The top one tenth of one percent own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. ‘What’s your problem? Things are going just great.’” He is absolutely right that it is an issue of priorities. According to Slate Magazine’s Jordan Weissmann, we spend more on loans and grants — which disproportionately go to forprofit schools — than the total cost
of public college tuition every year. This is not the kind of policy that one will ever hear Clinton back. The New Republic notes that, while arguably a bit to the left of President Barack Obama’s asinine education reform policies, Clinton has “been a steady backer of charter schools.” Sanders, on the other hand, is one of the strongest supporters out there of the teachers’ unions and of public education more generally. He strongly opposes any effort to turn our public education system into a system of coupons for charter schools that perform no better on average than public schools and exist mainly for ideological reasons. This is a debate that needs to happen within the Democratic Party during the primaries, and Sanders is certainly the man to challenge Clinton from the left on education. As college students, perhaps more than anyone else, we have a vested interest in seeing Sanders ask these tough questions of Clinton and hopefully move her to the left on the vital issue of college tuition. — Martin Forstrom is a senior studying sociology and Latin American studies.

Manchesthair United v. Alkabeer
Two UA students were stopped near Vine Avenue and Drachman Street by a UAPD officer for showing signs of intoxication while walking in the roadway on May 3 at 12:40 a.m. The officer believed both men were drinking due to the smell of alcohol coming from their mouths, their red, watery eyes, and the way they were walking. One student said he and the other were at all three fraternity houses located to the north of the UA campus for parties. He told the officer they drank three or four shots of alcohol at the Villa del Puente Residence Hall before going out. “I don’t know what kind,” he said. “It was there in someone else’s room.” The other student said they both drank at Villa del Puente with some friends. “I had five or six shots of vodka,” he said. He also said they were at his frat party but did not drink there and indicated they “are just going home now.” The men were referred to the UA Misdemeanor Diversion Program for drinking underage and were warned not to walk where traffic goes.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the Student Recreation Center to investigate a fight that occurred with two soccer teams on May 3 at 2:47 p.m. When the officer arrived, he did not see any fighting going on, so he spoke with the Intramural Soccer Supervisor. He said there was some pushing and some punches thrown between two teams, but everyone involved already left. A soccer game between Manchesthair United and Alkabeer started at 2 p.m., according to the UA staff member and supervisor. At 2:44 p.m., a player from each team got into a verbal argument. The staff member said he saw the player from Alkabeer try to punch the Manchesthair United player but didn’t know if the punch hit anyone. Then, he saw the player from Manchesthair United throw a punch, as well as a third player. He said the altercation ended quickly, and both teams left the scene, but the Manchesthair player walked away with a bloody nose. The staff member said he would discuss this matter with his supervisor to decide whether both teams will be allowed to continue playing in the league. An information form was completed for the Dean of Students.

Hot wheels
A non-UA-affiliated man was walking around the Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall carrying two bicycle wheels on May 3 at 9:07 p.m. The man was described as a 30-year-old Caucasian with balding short hair and wearing a black T-shirt, shorts and red backpack. When a UAPD officer approached him, he said the two wheels belong to his two bicycles he owns at his house. He claimed to be on his way to the Metro Wildcat gas station to put air in the tires. The officer could see the two tires were flat and asked the man if he had bolt cutters or tools in his backpack, and he said no. When the backpack was opened, the officer saw a set of small black handle bolt cutters, and the man said, “I always have those with me.” The officer did a check on the man and found out he had two warrants for his arrest, one from the Arizona Department of Public Safety that was non-extraditable and the other from Pima County Sheriff’s Department for writing a bad check. The man was taken to Pima County Jail and booked. His backpack, bolt cutters and two bike wheels were taken to UAPD Property and Evidence.

Job growth wanted in Arizona BY ROSIE DE QUELJOE
Arizona Sonora News Service
During the recession, Arizona took a bigger hit than many other states. According to Dr. George Hammond, director of UA’s Economic and Business Research Center, jobs in the state declined 12 percent while the national average declined at about 6 percent. “The problem is that Arizona has yet to replace those jobs,” Hammond said. “We are still digging our way out and trying to create more jobs.” Dr. Dennis Hoffman, professor at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, attributes this to Arizona’s slower recovery than the rest of nation. “We are progressing, but at a much slower rate than most states, and we are not used to this slow rate,” he said. “We got hit hard by the recession, and we’re still picking up the pieces.” Hoffman added that recoveries vary across the state. “Pima County is recovering at slower rate than Maricopa County,” he said, “and the surrounding counties are even slower in recovery regarding job growth and employment rates.” According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Arizona had an unemployment rate of 6.5 percent in February 2015, one of the highest in the nation. The national
average of unemployment sits at 5.5 percent. Yuma remains to hold the highest unemployment rate in the state. But the state should expect to see a hopeful horizon. Approximately 295,000 new jobs were created in February, according to the BLS Arizona at a glance data report. Many blame the lapse in recovery to lack of jobs in the construction industry. “We are growing at a slow but steady rate,” Hoffman said, “but the construction industry has yet to make a comeback.” The lack of a rebound in construction has caused Arizona job growth to slow significantly. While there have been steady gains in professional, business, and leisure and hospitality services, manufacturing and construction jobs have yet to see improvement. According to the Arizona Office of Employment and Population Statistics, manufacturing lost 400 jobs over the year. Construction added 1,400 jobs over the year. In a State Monitor report from BMO, senior economist Robert Kavcic said the U.S. economy is prepared to maintain solid momentum through 2015, and Arizona is poised to see aboveaverage growth over the next two years. He stated that as the housing recovery continues, tourism industries excel and the aboveaverage population growth will

support growth in Arizona’s economy. Kavcic said that even though the unemployment rate is still trending downward, encouraging job growth and unemployment rate trends disguise an “underlying softness in the labor market.”
According to Hoffman, although the path to recovery is slow, Arizona is putting one foot in front of the other, “which is exactly what you have to do when your on the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon.”

release. ASA’s main mission is to provide children in Africa with the funds to help pay for their school fees. Eka Toussaint B. Chibasa, a UA senior studying philosophy, politics, economics and law (foreign affairs) and French, is the current ASA president. “It was a great experience being recognized, but everyone in the club should get an opportunity to give back to the community,” Chibasa said. “We might not have a lot to give back, but the little that we do is appreciated.” The club goes out twice a month in the morning with between eight to 12 members for two to three hours each time. Chibasa said the club totaled about 200 hours of community service. “In the beginning, our area usually had plastic cups and paper, but now we find it to be a little bit cleaner each time we go there,” Chibasa said. “I like the fact that Tucson Clean & Beautiful gets to touch so many people by having them volunteer and clean the community.” He said he enjoys motivating other people to give their time and energy to benefit their community. “It’s amazing how different cultures come to America and want to help give back more than the Americans do,” Hickman said. The University of Arizona Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society will also be receiving a community service award from Tucson Clean & Beautiful on May 6 at 5 p.m. in the northwest corner of Speedway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue. Jerry Drake is an engineering management senior and president of Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society. “We want everyone in our club to participate at some point to get exposure to volunteering in the community,” Drake said.

UA softball hosts top-ranked Ducks BY MATT WALL
The Daily Wildcat
Fresh off a disappointing threegame series against UCLA, Arizona softball has quite the challenging weekend ahead of it as it hosts topranked Oregon for senior weekend. UCLA swept Arizona for the second consecutive season in Los Angeles and exposed Arizona’s pitching woes. The Wildcats put runs on the board in each game but couldn’t keep the Bruins offense from putting up numbers. For the Ducks, they have the opportunity to claim the Pac-12 Conference regular season title with a sweep over the Wildcats, as they currently hold a one-game lead over UCLA. Oregon’s success offensively is quite similar to the Wildcats’, as the Ducks boast a team batting average of .370, which is second in the nation, compared to the UA’s .364. The real difference between both teams has been the consistency of the Oregon pitching staff. Oregon’s pitchers hold a team ERA of 2.34 compared to Arizona’s 4.09. The Ducks have won 14 straight games and will match their longest winning streak in six seasons if they add one more win to that mark.
Individually, many of the Ducks stand out. Freshman Jenna Lilley is second in the Pac-12 with a .550 on-base percentage and fourth in the conference with a .441 batting average. Janie Takeda follows Lilley in the batting average category with .439. Freshman Gwen Svekis ranks second in the conference with a .843 slugging percentage. Oregon pitcher Cheridan Hawkins ranks eighth in the NCAA and leads the Pac-12 with a 1.18 ERA, boasting nine shutouts and 9.4 strikeouts per seven innings. The senior class the Wildcats will face is Oregon’s winningest, one that has won 195 games over the past four seasons. The Wildcats will honor the team’s four seniors in catcher Chelsea Goodacre, first baseman Hallie Wilson, shortstop Kellie Fox and utility player Chelsea Suitos. There will be a senior ceremony following the second game of the series. Fox has had quite a successful senior campaign, going into the series with the highest team average of starters with a .403 batting average and 13 home runs in 159 at-bats. Suitos has a .365 average and has stolen 17 bases on 17 attempts

this year. Goodacre is tied for team leads in home runs at 22 and RBIs at 79 with Katiyana Mauga, and Wilson is hitting .388 and was drafted by the USSSA Pride in the NPF College Draft. The Wildcats and Ducks are no strangers on the field. Arizona leads the all-time series record 81-23, but the Ducks have won the last four series. The last meeting between the two teams came last May when Oregon beat Arizona 14-3. The Ducks clinched their second straight Pac-12 title last season after routing the Wildcats. Arizona’s offense will have a tough battle ahead of them, as Oregon has not allowed more than three runs in a game over its last seven outings. If the Wildcats want to prove they comprise an elite team, they may have to start with their pitching. By finding outs on the mound, the Wildcats will prove they can compete and pitch against some of the nation’s finest. All three games will be aired live, with the first two on the Pac12 Networks and the finale on ESPNU. — Follow Matt Wall @mwall20
Arizona baseball will host Washington in a crucial three-game series, coming off a much needed series win over Washington State. The Wildcats are 27-18 overall, 11-13 in Pac-12 Conference play and could desperately use a series sweep to keep their postseason hopes alive. Washington enters the series at 24-21 overall and 9-15 in conference play. Arizona outscored Washington State 19-10 over three games and finished the series with a bang, scoring two runs in the top half of the 11th inning of the final game to pick up the series victory. The Huskies may not have that kind of confidence boost fresh in their minds, but they did play their last home game in front of the largest crowd at Husky Park in program history, as 2,360 fans showed up to watch Washington fall 4-1 to Oregon State. Coming into this weekend’s series, Arizona and Washington sit at sixth and ninth in the conference standings, respectively. While the two schools are close in the standings, their season stats show they specialize in different areas: Arizona in hitting and Washington in pitching. Arizona leads the conference in team batting average at .305, runs at 306, team slugging percentage at .439, triples at 20 and is tied for first in hits with 476. The Wildcats are also second in the conference in total at-bats, RBIs, walks drawn and stolen bases. Second baseman Scott Kingery and infielder/pitcher Bobby Dalbec lead the way for the Wildcats offensively. Kingery is first on the team in batting average at .416 and runs at 49, and second on the team in both RBIs (35) and slugging percentage (.619). Dalbec leads the team in home runs (14), RBIs (46), slugging percentage (.642) and stolen bases (17). On the flip side, Washington is third in the conference in team ERA, second in complete games and saves, and third in shutouts and innings pitched. The Huskies have had seven pitchers start a game this season, with Tyler Davis leading the way at 12 starts. Davis has allowed 34 runs, 23 walks and struck out 78 batters in his team leading 92 innings pitched. He also holds an ERA of 2.93 and a 6-5 record for the Huskies. Not far behind Davis is Noah Bremer at 5-2 overall with a 2.10 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 64.1 innings of work. Essentially, something is going to have to give this weekend. Either the Wildcats’ bats will come out strong, or the Huskies’ arms will cut down those bats.

Women’s tennis trio prepares for NCAA tourney BY STEVIE KATZ
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona’s women’s tennis team concluded its regular season with three players being selected to participate in the NCAA Championships in both singles and doubles, despite the team as a whole finishing in eighth place in the Pac-12 Conference at 13-8 overall. Sophomore Lauren Marker will play in singles, while senior Briar Preston and junior Shayne Austin will play in the doubles competition. Marker is ranked No. 55 in the country, while the Preston and Austin tandem is ranked No. 27 heading into the tournament. The NCAA Championships begin on May 20 in Waco, Texas. “I was so excited and can’t even explain, but I was lucky
enough to be with my coaches and close friends when I got the news, which made it even more special,” Marker said. “Making it to NCAAs individually has been a huge goal of mine since before coming to college. Reaching this goal of mine has made me want to work even harder to reach my other goals.” Marker also played in the tournament as a freshman when the Wildcats took on Florida State in the first round of the team event. She said she hopes to keep improving on her tennis and fitness before traveling to compete in the tournament to make sure she is completely ready. Marker was also named an AllPac-12 Honorable Mention. “It’s always nice to be recognized by the conference,”

Track readies for Pac-12’s BY BRANDON JAMES The Daily Wildcat
Arizona track and field officially kicks off the championship season with the Pac-12 Multi Championships this weekend in Los Angeles at UCLA. Harrison Ivie and Pau Tonnesen will compete in the decathlon, which features the 100-meter race, long jump, shot put, high jump and the 400-meter race on the first day; the 110-meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and the 1500-meter race will be on the second day. The last decathlon they competed in was during the Jim Click Shootout in April, where Tonnesen scored 7783 and Ivie scored 7198. At the time, Tonnesen’s score was the best collegiate score in the country. Ivie said he feels confident going into the weekend and hopes to tally a score of 7400. He performed well in the Duel in the Desert against ASU, setting an outdoor personal
record in the pole vault. “The personal record in the pole vault has boosted my confidence going into the Pac-12 Championships,” Ivie said. He has worked on his throws and the 1500-meter race, areas he hopes to improve on from the Jim Click Shootout. Ivie has had a lot of time to rest this week, something he thinks will help him perform better. “I’m going to be able to perform a lot better resting,” Ivie said. Tiana Bonds and Alyssa Thompson will compete in the heptathlon, which features the 100-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put and the 200-meter race on the first day. The long jump, javelin throw and the 800-meter race will be on the second day. In the Jim Click Shootout, Bonds totaled a 5242 score, and Thompson scored 5320. Thompson said she has good meets leading up to this point, setting a personal best record in the javelin last weekend. She said she’s
peaking at the perfect time. She said it will be important for her to do well in the 100-meter hurdles and the high jump so she gets off to a solid start. Thompson said she wants to take momentum from the first two events into the high jump competition and throughout the rest of the meet. In order to qualify for nationals, Thompson will have to improve her best heptathlon score by about 100 points, something she said she hopes she can do over the weekend. The four athletes will head for Los Angeles at the end of the week and will compete in the multi events on Saturday and Sunday. The following weekend will be the individual Pac-12 Championships, which will take place at UCLA as well. SYDNEY RICHARDSON //THE DAILY WILDCAT

This is the first and only series of the season between these two teams and is a chance for each to assert itself before postseason play. For Arizona coach Andy Lopez, it’s the last time his team will have a Pac-12 series this season in the friendly confines of Hi Corbett Field. Despite losing seven straight games at home in April, Arizona is 18-11 at Hi Corbett Field this season and will look to make its last stand there. First pitch of game one of the series is slotted for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, with game two set for Saturday at 7 p.m. and game three scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m. All three games will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

Finals are a zoo, relax at Reid Park BY MADISON SCAVARDA The Daily Wildcat
With finals week fast approaching, many students overwhelmed with stress wish they could escape to a haven far away from the world of academics. Thankfully, such an oasis exists about 10 minutes from the UA campus at Reid Park Zoo. With its beautiful landscapes and plant life, the zoo offers more than just a few animal exhibits. And the animals that do call Reid Park Zoo their home each have their own unique personalities, making every trip exciting and worthwhile. “We have over 100 species on exhibit — totaling over 400 animals,” said Jason Jacobs, Reid Park Zoo director. “We’re most famous for our herd of African elephants. We have six of them, including Nandi, who was born in August of 2014. She’s the first elephant ever born in the state of Arizona, so it’s very significant. And we have other large animals like giraffes and rhinoceros, lion and tiger. But really, every species has a story to tell.” The Tucson community seems to have fallen in love with Nandi’s story. The Arizona Daily Star kept tabs on her growth and posted some information provided by the zoo’s elephant manager, Sue Tygielski, on its website. “For her 6-month birthday, Nandi got a taste of the good life,” the Arizona Daily Star webpage said. “The zoo threw her two birthday parties, where she had a

grand old time whacking ‘piñatas.’” The Reid Park Zoo website estimates that it will take visitors only about two hours to meander through the entire park. Its smaller size is favorable for students who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of a larger zoo. Two hours is also the perfect amount of time
for students to rejuvenate before hitting the books. “I think a lot of people like [Reid Park Zoo] because we’re not a huge zoo, but you see a lot of animals, and we’re laid out very well in that you’re not walking a lot of distance between the animal exhibits,” Jacobs said. “A lot of
our exhibits allow you to get very close to the animals. For instance, in our lion and tiger exhibits, we use a combination of woven mesh and glass viewing caves, so that you can get very close to these animals.” For Sarah MacKenzie, a junior studying speech, language and
hearing sciences, the pathway leading through the park allows her to relax and reminisce. “What I like about the Reid Park Zoo is, I guess for me, the familiarity of it,” MacKenzie said. “I grew up going to it, and it’s somewhere I can go, and it’s just kind of like solace, [because] there’s memories of where I’ve been, but … you never know which animals are going to be out.” MacKenzie’s favorite animals include the elephants and the grizzly bears. She also said she loves the exhibit featuring the Andean bears. “Their exhibit is covered in wildflowers in the spring, and that’s my favorite time to just go and get quiet time or hang out,” MacKenzie said. “You can just sit and watch them play and wander. It’s really tranquil there, especially when there aren’t school kids.” MacKenzie agreed that the Reid Park Zoo provides a home away from home for university students in need of a therapeutic atmosphere. “It is a great place to go to get away from finals stress,” MacKenzie said. “You’re reminded that things exist outside of school. … It’s a really good way to just get out of that focus and that tunnel mentality that we have during finals week. You can really sit and think about something else or think about nothing at all and just enjoy some beautiful creatures.” — Follow Madison Scavarda @DailyWildcat
‘HIPSTER REVIEW’

AN AERIAL VIEW of Hotel Congress during 2nd Saturdays. For students looking to take a break during finals or seniors moving leaving Tucson after graduation, this weekend’s event downtown offers entertainment for all.
Destress during 2nd Saturdays downtown BY BRENNA BAILEY
The Daily Wildcat
Though downtown certainly hustles and bustles less than its bigcity counterparts, unique Tucson eateries and artists of all sorts assemble once a month to enliven the city in a bombastic, mystical affair on 2nd Saturdays. As denoted in the occasion’s name, every second Saturday of each month, a huge gathering of local Tucson makers and artists transpires, spanning on Congress Street from Fifth Avenue to Stone Avenue, between Broadway and Pennington. Restaurants on Congress such as HUB Restaurant and Ice Creamery and Cafe Poca Cosa, along with venues such as the historic Rialto Theatre — with various street performers and vendors sprinkled in-between — all open their doors with specials to supplement 2nd Saturdays. However, the real kicker of 2nd Saturday is the performances the coordinators of the self-proclaimed “urban block party” book to showcase to the Tucson public for absolutely free. “It’s meant to be unlike a lot of other things you pay to get in for and then you have to pay for every single thing,” said Sandy Mellor, 2nd Saturdays’ director of community relations. “It’s an event that if you don’t have a penny in your pocket, you can come down to, walk around, still enjoy the music, see the free entertainment — and there’s a lot of free entertainment — so it really is a good bond with the whole community.” This Saturday will be the last opportunity for many students to experience and embrace 2nd Saturdays shenanigans until the start of the fall semester. Performers and musicians, including the Domingo
Degrazia Band, Belly Dance Tucson and Sunduster, will grace the stage during the raffle for a donated 2015 Ford Mustang. All the money raised through selling raffle tickets will go straight back into the 2nd Saturdays budget, which is sustained through donations and sponsorships. “I like 2nd Saturdays because I get to eat local food at the vendors while listening to music that I otherwise would never have heard,” said Brenna Wagy, a Spanish interpretation and translation junior. Downtown venues including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Borderlands Brewing Company and Artful Living Gallery and Studio will also host special exhibits and performances to commemorate the May installment of 2nd Saturdays. The downtown bar scene will heighten with the influx of 2nd Saturdays attendees as well. Mellor said the Board of Directors always attempts to keep each event original and alluring, incorporating new performers and vendors to collaborate at each event. “We are always looking to keep the entertainment fresh, so we want to make sure that if people are out there and they want to be part of [2nd Saturdays], we allow them to interview and send a video or a CD or something we can check out,” she said. “Or, if we hear of a really good band or some really good street performers, then we’ll go and try to check them out. We try to keep it high quality, ’cause that’s what we think keeps people coming.” Mellor said the affair has vastly expanded since its commencement in 2010. Originally only hosting 4,0006,000 attendees, each 2nd Saturdays now attracts between 16,000-20,000 people each month. She said the Board of Directors has diligently worked from the event’s conception
to morph 2nd Saturdays into a unique community experience in which vendors and performers actively seek to participate. “Some [students] come down just to do the bar scene, and that’s OK. … I think a lot of people from [UA], if they’re under 21, the drinking is not what they come for,” she said. “They come for the street vibe, the music, the entertainment — just seeing other people, seeing your friends. Just that good feeling.” Mellor said she thinks the most alluring and crucial aspect of 2nd Saturdays is the very atmosphere throughout downtown during the event. It incorporates the beautiful diversity many Tucsonans overlook. “[The entertainers] are all kind of in their own place: separate,” she said. “But as you walk by, you feel all this excitement and magic. … You might see guys with bagpipes marching up and down, or you might see the guy who juggles, or you might see this beautiful girl, who’s about 8 years old, playing violin. You might hear beautiful Spanish guitar or classical guitar. It’s amazing. It’s kind of mystic.” As it is the last month of the school year, Mellor urges students who have yet to experience 2nd Saturdays or downtown in general to meander through the cultural event this weekend. “I would encourage everyone to come,” Mellor said. “You can walk around for two hours for free and just enjoy the vibe. It’s just a downtown, urban vibe, and then 2nd Saturday just adds on to it. … It’s kind of exciting, and the quality of entertainment is just amazing.”

AN OVERHEAD view of Espresso Art Cafe on Thursday. Espresso Art offers caffeine, alcoholic drinks, hookah and a convinient place to study.
Espresso Art See how your favorite cafe stacks up in the Daily Wildcat’s hipster ranking from one to five hipsters BY JACQUELYN OESTERBLAD The Daily Wildcat
Be sure you can stand the smell of hookah smoke before deciding to spend any period of time in Espresso Art Cafe — the place reeks. It’s a small, windowless space with apple-flavored water pipes every 3 feet. There’s barely room to find a seat during busy hours, and the overflow easily fills the patio on University Boulevard, too. But we all know hipsters like to smoke, and thus I ventured in. Espresso Art has a kind of worn, sagging feeling. It’s pretty chill, but it’s definitely the place you go to decompress after a big exam, not to cram for it. The coffee is only so-so. Though, their liquor-based coffee drinks offer a welcome alternative to the other cafes near campus. Why have a latte when you can have a Baileys latte? It’s the nectar of the hipsters: espresso beans and booze. The best part by far, though, is the bar in the back. It’s all worn brick and warm wood and old books and dim lights and Grecian busts. The cushy chairs and low tables are more suited to taking a hookah and a book than a coffee and laptop. It’s the place for the carefree hipster, the guy who has no classes — or at least none he puts any effort into. It’s the place to avoid during finals season when you have
Menu: Hookah (one flavor) : $12.99 Chai Latte: $3.99-$4.99 Caffe Mocha: $3.99-$4.99 Espresso: $2.99 Brewed Coffee: $1.99-$2.85
an urge to murder anyone who appears to be having fun. But when your own finals are over and it’s time to have a drink and a smoke in a warm, cozy bar, Espresso Art is the place to go. You’ll have to share space with hookah-sucking bros and basic girls, but there’s plenty of space for three hipsters to make themselves at home.
