UA launches transgender initiatives BY CHASTITY LASKEY @chastitylaskey
The UA Institute for LGBT Studies will be hosting the first ever international transgender studies conference this fall that will focus on gender, embodiment and sexuality. Part of the transgender studies initiative launched
in 2013, Trans*Studies is a four-day interdisciplinary academic conference that will encompass keynote speakers, panel discussions, round tables, performances and exhibits of visual art. “Part of the reason we’re hosting the first ever international transgender conference at the UA is because we’re creating the first ever trans study program, so
we’re creating a conference to bring people together and draw attention to the work we’re doing,” said Eric Plemons, assistant professor of anthropology and chair of the conference program committee. Plemons said the conference will incorporate perspectives from across multiple disciplines and the globe, with scholars, community activists and people outside the
realms of institutions, who are very knowledgeable about trans history. Around 200 people will be be presenting at the conference and Mauro Cabral, a leading international transgender rights activist and Sandy Stone, the founder of the academic discipline of transgender studies will be keynote speakers, according to

Zoning examiner recommends Main Gate Balcony ban BY SHAQ DAVIS @shaqdavis1
The zoning examiner has given his recommendation to the Tucson City Council concerning the use of balconies on any future infrastructures built in the Main Gate District. In his preliminary report, zoning examiner Jim Mazzocco recommended that all balcony use be prohibited in any future multi-story group dwellings in the area. The seven-page recommendation stems from a variety of safety concerns regarding students misusing highrise housing balconies. Since 2014, there have been multiple tenants evicted from high rise properties in the Main Gate District due to objects being thrown from balconies— specifically at Islamic Center of Tucson and multiple other buisnesses that live in the shadow of the buildings. In his report he stated that the recent student behavior is a problem that should be addressed. “The dangers and nuisance caused by immature student behavior has raised the focus on this otherwise benign architectural feature as a point of community concern,” Mazzocco said. Mazzocco said that future student housing sites should use the same architecture structure as UA campus dormitories. “... the university has set a precedent of not having balconies on its dormitories,” Mazzocco said, “it seems that standard could also apply to future private group dwellings in the same area.” For the structures currently occupied, Mazzocco said the housing managers

UAPD arrests UA student for recent indecent exposure incidents BY LAUREN RENTERIA @ lauren_renteria

A VIEW OF THE Hub on Tyndall Avenue on Sept. 14, 2015. The Tucson City Council is currently considering banning the use of balconies on all future infrastructures built in the Main Gate District.
should engage regularly with neighboring associations and the Islamic Center of Tucson, where many of the past discriminatory incidents have occurred. He added that incidents of tossing objects from elevated balconies and yelling hate speech has already transpired and it would be unfortunate if a person were to lose their life due to immature actions. Before making his recommendation, Mazzocco listened to citizens express their opinions about the proposed amendment at a public hearing on June 16.
At the public meeting the examiner heard speakers’ opinions from the West University Association and the Islamic Center of Tucson, all of whom encouraged the zoning examiner to recommend the proposed balcony ban. His full report, which includes all the documentation presented to the zoning examiner, will be given to the Mayor and city council members to review. The last step in the process will then be a final vote in the council chambers likely held in August.
The University of Arizona Police Department arrested a UA student yesterday tied to two recent incidents of indecent exposure on campus. UAPD announced the arrest of the suspect Friday, June 24 via a Clery timely notice sent to the UA community. UAPD identified Luis Daniel SoteloOrozco as the suspect in the June 10 and June 14 cases, according to the UA Clery warning sent out by UAPD Chief of Police Brian Seastone. The first case took place in the Student Union Memorial Center and the second in the Highland Tunnel under Speedway Boulevard. Sotelo-Orozco was interviewed by detectives yesterday and has been charged with two counts of indecent exposure and a class one misdemeanor. The suspect has also been charged with one count of computer tampering which was part of a separate crime detectives tied the suspect to during this investigation, according to the notice. UAPD has not released a photo of SoteloOrozco and Public Information Officer Sergeant Filbert Barrera said he could not comment on how the suspect was found, as the case is an open investigation.

UA College of Nursing launches the first ever integrative nursing fellowship 11 faculty fellows will spend the next year focusing on integrative nursing, in hopes of bringing the infromation back to their classrooms BY MEGAN JACOBY @DailyWildcat
The UA College of Nursing has launched the world’s first integrative nursing fellowship, which will teach 11 faculty fellows the foundation, principles and potentiality of integrative nursing. Focusing on the health and well being of patients through therapeutic remedies, integrative nursing focuses on the whole person: body, mind and spirit. “The program is meant to develop the expertise of faculty,” said Mary Koithan, program director. “Our program builds on their knowledge from their doctoral programs so that they can implement integrative nursing in the classroom.” Koithan said the main goal of the program is to eventually have the fellows teach nursing students everything they will learn. The program however is not only for the health of patients, but also nurses who spend long days taking care of others. Kim Blumenfeld, one of the nursing faculty fellows in the program, said it’s important for nurses to learn to care for themselves before they care for others. “Personally for me, I want to set a path of well-being for myself,” Blumenfeld said. “It’s very easy to teach this to students, but it’s another thing to live it. Really during this next year, it’s going to be living what I’m teaching.” Blumenfeld said nurses are so great at caring for others and revolving their own lives around their patients that they sometimes forget to live the way they speak of to their patients. Koithan said the program spans over the course of a year and will incorporate four courses, three online that will develop the fellows understanding and knowledge of integrative nursing and a metric practicum as the final course. Koithan said the nurses will change the concepts in courses they are already teaching at the UA and at the end of the year propose a new program or modification to the program they currently teach. Koithan will be teaching the first course with Kelly Mueller, who is a doctoral prepared integrative nurse from Minneapolis. Cheryl

Lacasse, who is currently a part of the UA’s nursing faculty will be teaching the second course. The third course is going to be taught by Cathleen Michaels, who is a UA clinical associate professor. “We have what we call content experts that develop a lot of the content for the actual courses and it is my job to bring it all together,” said Natalie Pool, UA professor and program coordinator, who is currently getting her Ph.D. at the UA College of Nursing. “I work with instructional designers, who bring it to life online on D2L, so I am the middle man between the content and the actual design.” Koithan said this program is the first of its kind in the country and that beginning at the UA they hope to deliver this approach to all the different nursing programs throughout universities everywhere. “We’d like to give our nursing faculty the tools and the knowledge to create some feasible change in our nursing program to better reflect their patient’s needs and desires, so that we’re creating the most relevant nurses that we can,” Pool said.

TRANS INITIATIVES FROM PAGE A1
Plemons. “I think engagement in academia largely needs to extend beyond the classroom,” said Mel Ferrara, a gender and women’s studies graduate student who identifies as non-binary and member of the conference steering committee. While Ferrara’s research focus is in transgender studies and intersex studies, they said up until this year the exposure to trans narrative, trans experiences and trans justice has been surprisingly limited. “When you’re looking at LGBT rights you’re not necessarily looking at queer and trans justice,” Ferrara said. “Largely the trans community has dropped off mainstream LGBT studies and rights initiatives.” Ferrara said the conference is a really great opportunity to start having institutional and international dialogue about what trans studies is because there’s not exactly a clear definition available. According to Pelmons, with all the recent international and nation attention being paid to transgender people, their rights and the history and politics of the group, it’s a vital time to be holding the conference. “I think the timing is excellent to bring folks together from a variety of institutions who have been working on these institutions but have not really had a space or a formal conversation,” Plemons said. “The conference is meant to bring those people together and allow some connections go be made.” Spearheading the conference and bringing so many people together has been, Susan Stryker, director of the Institute for LGBT Studies. Stryker who initially came up with the idea to hold a conference has kick started the initial project by bringing multiple people

on board from around the world. “I have been the point person who has pulled most of this together, but I hope to hand over leadership as soon as feasible,” said Stryker in an email, who is currently traveling around eastern Europe. “I remain involved in consolidating what we’ve already started, and feel committed to helping the UA become a leader in this area of study.” Although she is unclear of any future transgender initiatives the UA will create, Stryker said if they will accomplish a lot if they finish what they’ve started. “I think [Stryker] personally has worked for years to get us to this point, but there’s so much work to [still] be done,” Ferrara said. The Institute for LGBT Studies is also currently in the works of a Transgender Studies Master’s Program, which could launch as early as fall 2017. “We don’t yet have the
institutional structure in place to be offering any credentials at this point, so we are actively working to get a curriculum in place,” Plemons said. Depending on what credentials they want to offer, they won’t need Arizona Board of Regents certification, according to Plemons. “There’s been a lot of institutional support given to the trans studies initiatives and so this is a great way for the UA to showcase that commitment and bring more eyes to it,” Plemons said.

After enough sketchy alcoholic beverages have been choked down, it’s time to discuss the purpose of the party, which is …oh, wait. What exactly is it? It could be dancing, but with no room to move or breathe because finding enough room to dance is out of the question. You could stand and wait for a fraternity member to sneak up behind you, harshly grab your hips and start trying to grind with you, but then again, there is about a 10:1 girl-toguy ratio so dancing with a guy is not always feasible. Perhaps the purpose is to meet new people and make new friends? That would be nice, but would also require someone to have the voice of Shia LaBeouf in motivational mode in order to be heard over the volume of the music and the din of girls screaming. So, realizing the lack of purpose and feeling overwhelmed from all the drunk robots everywhere, you decide to go get a breath of fresh air outside. After having to violently shove through avalanches of sweaty bodies, reaching the door is a relief.

You slip past the door-guard, who yells after you that you have to leave out the back door so as not to attract police attention. This makes perfect sense, because, of course, when there is a giant house with blaring music, stumbling girls spilling in and out of it for hours on end, and Uber drivers lining the entire block, one sober girl stepping outside for fresh air is clearly what’s going to catch the attention of the police. As you stand outside, refusing the incessant hounding of the “brothers” to go back inside, it dawns on you that you can’t even hate them, you can only pity them. Some of them genuinely believe their house, their party and their general existence, are God’s gifts to Earth. They cannot fathom it to be any other way. You leave and return home, feeling both emotionally and physically drained, and praying some other sort of party option presents itself next weekend so you can keep a vow to never return to such a cesspool for the rest of your college career.

COURTESY OF COMEDY PLAYHOUSE
THE CAST OF “THE Seduction of Grandma” during the play’s production on Friday, June 24. The show runs at the Comedy Playhouse through July 17.
Review: “The Seduction of Grandma” is a riot’ BY VICTORIA HUDSON @torihudson_
If the name isn’t already enough of a draw, “The Seduction of Grandma” provides audience members with a hilarious comedic performance filled with snarky jokes and family drama, all with a hillbilly twist. Written by Peré Summers and directed by Nell Summers, the show is put on by The Comedy Playhouse, located at 3620 N. First Ave. “The Seduction of Grandma” is a refreshing two-hour escape that keeps the audience in constant laughter. When Grandma Daggott meets Anderson Weatherby III, played by Josh Kent, at a speed-dating seminar, the Daggott cousins believe the two have started to date and would soon be
married. Worried, the Daggott cousins eavesdrop on Grandma and Weatherby’s conversations and decide to background check Weatherby III. Surprised by what they find, the cousins confront Grandma and Weatherby during the last scene of the play. I haven’t spoiled too much—the end of the play takes a surprising turn and leaves the audience in shock. Grandma Daggott, played by Nell Summers, has a strong, outspoken character and completely brings the play to life. Her comedic take on the role of Grandma Daggott may be close to genius and truly original. Almost every line she delivered had the audience engulfed with laughter. The three Daggott cousins—Elle, played by Robin Carson , Jackson, played by Paul Hammack and Wanda Jo, played
by Kristen Keck—appear in most of the play’s scenes and primarily build up the show’s plot. Jackson Daggott, a taxidermist, often leaves dead animals around the living room. This causes Elle Daggott to deliver the memorable line, “this is the living room, not the dead room,” which brought the audience to tears. The Comedy Playhouse uses a large room for the performance that appeared to seat around 50 people. The theater was intimate with only three rows of seats, all of which had a clear view of the stage where the performance took place. The Daggott’s living room and porch made up the set of the stage. The living room portion of the set had portraits of Barbie dolls and clowns on the wall, which added to the plays comical atmosphere.
The set changed into another location only when Wanda Jo and Grandma went to a speed-dating seminar. Ironically, Grandma (under the alias ‘Dolly’ for the evening) ended up with more future dates than Wanda Jo. Exceeding expectations, “The Seduction of Grandma” has extended to run a weekend longer than originally planned. Due to the show’s popularity and success, the play now continues to run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at The Comedy Playhouse through July 17. Tickets sell for $18 for adults and $16 for students, seniors and military. This two-hour long show delivers from start to finish with consistent jokes throughout the production—“The Seduction of Grandma” does not disappoint.

Review: The Getaway proves the Red Hot Chili Peppers can still deliver BY ALEC KUEHNLE @throwmeanallie
After 33 years of creating Californiainspired music, The Red Hot Chili Peppers continue to evolve their unique sound with the release of their eleventh studio album, The Getaway, on June 17. The album signifies that the Peppers have reached the later part of their career, but it also shows that the band can still make great music. The Getaway marks the band’s first release in five years and the band’s first album in about 27 years without producer Rick Rubin at its helm. Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton replaced the longtime producer for this

record, a big decision on the part of the band, as Rubin helped create their distinct style. The Getaway feels like
Danger Mouse kept the band’s unique style while adding his own input, making for a sound that seems more controlled
and laid back than some of the Peppers’ previous work. The album’s lead single “Dark Necessities” sees Anthony Kiedis attempt to channel something deep, as he screams, “You don’t know my mind, you don’t know my kind, dark necessities are part of my design.” Another standout is “Encore,” a catchy, lesser-known song which once again sees the Peppers worship their home state—Kiedis sings, “Driving down Calexico highway, and now I know the sign for sure.” Danger Mouse’s presence is certainly felt. Everything sounds a little bit softer and more controlled, but this also makes some of the songs seem slower, which
could create a potential problem with a band known for bringing their lively energy into their music. But the band’s style has by no means gotten completely sacrificed. Kiedis still provides plenty of his strange, sometimes nonsensical lyrics, and bassist Flea still has many opportunities for his gloriously unnecessary bass solos. The Getaway doesn’t serve as much of a game changer for the Peppers. It certainly does not reach the heights of albums such as 1999’s acclaimed album Californication, but it most certainly does prove that even though they may have gotten a bit older, they still have what it takes to create a great album.

Wildcats and Chanticleers headed for decisive Game 3 Arizona took the first game of the championship series, but Coastal Carolina won the second game—setting up a final, winner-takes-all game on Wednesday
BY EZRA AMACHER @EzraAmacher
OMAHA, Nebraska — Arizona baseball’s quest for a fifth national championship will take one more game. The Wildcats failed to capitalize on their 1-0 College World Series Finals lead, falling to Coastal Carolina 5-4 on Tuesday night at TD Ameritrade Park. The two teams have split the first two games of the series, and will face off in a winner-takes-all game on Wednesday at 5 p.m MST. A strong seven inning outing by Kevin Ginkel was erased in the eighth by a three-run Coastal Carolina rally, and Arizona was unable to mount a bottom of the ninth comeback. “I’m happy with how I did tonight but not happy that we lost,” Ginkel said. The Wildcats looked business as usual early on. For the fourth-straight game, Arizona got on the board in the first inning, but the Wildcats could not fully capitalize on the early rally. Cody Ramer and Zach Gibbons led off the game with singles to center which gave the UA runners on first and second with no outs. JJ Matijevic failed to advance the runners over when he fouled a twostrike bunt attempt. Ryan Aguilar then walked to load the bases. Bobby Dalbec, Arizona’s top power hitter, was asked to put down a squeeze bunt but couldn’t make contact, putting Ramer in a run down. Ramer was thrown at third base for the second out of the inning. Dalbec salvaged the inning with an RBI single to right that scored Gibbons, putting Arizona up 1-0, but that’s the only run the Wildcats scored in the frame. Arizona’s next mistake of the night came with one on in the top of third, when Ginkel threw a wild pitch that advanced Billy Cooke to second.
Cooke then took third on a sacrifice bunt. David Parrett, Coastal Carolina’s No. 9 batter, next hit a pop fly to left that was misplayed by Louis Boyd. Cooke remained at third while Parrett advanced to second. The Chanticleers took advantage as Anthony Marks hit a two-run single to give them a 2-1 lead. The Wildcats answered back in the bottom of the fifth as Ryan Aguilar scored Ramer on an infield fielder’s choice. That tied the game at 2-2. Following his shaky start, Ginkel looked strong the rest of the night, tossing seven innings and matching Coastal Carolina’s Mike Morrison. In the top of the eighth, Cameron Ming relieved Ginkel and immediately gave up a single. Two batters later, Connor Owings singled in a run to make it 3-2, followed by a double from Zach Remillard. “I just don’t think [Ming] was quite as sharp,” Johnson said. “He didn’t want to come out of the game, which I love about him. He’ll be available and in the mix tomorrow, for sure.” Alfonso Rivas relieved Ming on the mound but to no avail, as Chanticleers designated hitter G.K. Young hit a two-run single to bring Coastal’s lead to 5-2. Arizona responded with two runs in the eighth after loading the bases to start the inning. A Jared Oliva pop out was followed by a Justin Behnke grounder to first that turned into a fielder’s choice scoring one run. An error by Coastal Carolina shortstop Michael Paez allowed the second run of the inning to score. With two outs and two on, Cody Ramer flew out to left to end the eighth. After a quick top of the ninth, Arizona’s 2-3-4 batters came to bat. Gibbons and Matijevic popped out and Ryan Aguilar lined out to end the game.

ARIZONA OUTFIELDER ZACH GIBBONS swings against Coastal Carolina in game two of the championship series of the College World Series on Tuesday, June 28. Gibbons leads the Wildcats in hits this season and has four hits in the championship series.
Game 1 of the Finals went more to Arizona’s liking. JC Cloney tossed a complete game shutout, allowing just four hits while striking out six Chanticleers. Cloney became the first pitcher in CWS history to throw a complete game shutout in the Finals. The senior right hander induced Coastal Carolina into 14 groundouts, relying on a low-placed fastball and changeup.” “We set our defense for our pitchers making pitches,” Johnson said. It was the second dominant performance of the College World Series by Cloney, who threw seven shutout innings in Arizona’s elimination win over UC-Santa Barbara last Wednesday.
Just like Cloney’s last start, the Arizona offense got on the board early. The Wildcats scored in the first inning when Aguilar singled in Ramer, who led off the game with a double down the left field line. Arizona added on to its lead in the seventh inning when Salazar led off with a single, followed by a sacrifice bunt and wild pitch that moved Salazar to third. Ramer reached base via a walk. Gibbons then hit a fly ball to center with enough distance to bring Salazar home. Ramer risked the sure run when he decided to tag up and advance to second, barely sliding under the tag. “It wasn’t the most ideal thing,” Ramer said. “But I saw a little
opportunity when both infielders vacated the bag, and I figured if I got to the outside, slid in, I would be safe, which would get me into scoring position with two outs.” On the very next pitch, Ramer’s risky decision paid off when Aguilar scored him home on a two-out single to left, giving Arizona its third run of the game. But the story of the night was Cloney, who was eager to toss a full game after being pulled early against UCSB. Cloney finished the job this time around, retiring the final two frames and giving Arizona the series lead. However, the Chanticleers’ Game 2 win now means the two teams will be playing for all the marbles on Wednesday night on ESPN.

“
tough to get a good swing on guys like that.” Before Bannister came out of the game early Saturday with forearm tightness, he had struck out 114 batters this season over 142.1 innings pitched. Cloney, who worked as Arizona’s Saturday starter for much of the year, effectively retired batters by working low in the zone, primarily through his fastball and changeup. While Cloney doesn’t possess a knockout pitch, his methodical approach paid dividends in Omaha, where he threw 16 shutout innings, including a complete-game shutout against Coastal Carolina in Game 1 of the finals. It was Dalbec who often looked like Arizona’s most dominant pitcher, even if his preferred position is at the hot corner. The junior righty tossed the biggest—and possibly last— outing of his career on Saturday, when he threw seven innings, allowing just one run to Oklahoma State in a 5-1 victory. Dalbec credited his defense for allowing him to be aggressive on the mound. Through its first six games in Omaha, Arizona had committed just one error. “You don’t feel like you have to be perfect,” Dalbec said. “You can just get after and compete and stay at the ball hard.” Developing their skills in a spacious home ball park like Hi Corbett Field allowed Arizona’s pitching staff to smoothly transition to Omaha’s TD Ameritrade Park, where the Wildcats set the tone on the mound all series.

Omaha is final stop of a ‘great journey’ BY EZRA AMACHER @EzraAmacher
OMAHA, Nebraska — Arizona baseball’s run to the 2016 College World Series started with a collection of phone calls last June. Freshly hired head coach Jay Johnson
couldn’t meet his new players in person, since most of the returning members of Arizona’s 2014-15 team had already taken off to play summer ball. Johnson quickly dialed up the numbers of Zach Gibbons and Cody Ramer, two soon-tobe seniors who had struggled to reach their
potentials the previous season. “He told us seniors he wanted it to be the best last year of our [college] lives,” Gibbons recalled at the CWS. “[Johnson] mentioned to us he had guys on the roster that could play better than what they have,” said Ramer. “He wanted to get the best
version of ourselves.” Gibbons and Ramer took in what Johnson had to say, then decided to give the head coach a chance. Johnson held true to his promise, while

Season in review from page A11
Gibbons and Ramer—two eventual Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim draft selections— led Arizona through the postseason, all the way to the College World Series Finals. Here’s a look back at some memorable moments from Arizona’s 2016 run: Jay Johnson Era begins with series win over Rice Johnson wasted no time testing his team’s abilities, as Arizona traveled to Houston to begin the 2016 season with a road series against No. 24 Rice University. The Wildcats showed their potential at the plate and on the mound early on, winning Johnson’s debut 8-1. JC Cloney started the first game of the year by tossing seven innings and giving up one run. Arizona won the second game of the series before dropping the finale. For Johnson, it was important that Arizona face a tough non-conference schedule not only to test the team but to insure the Wildcats had a strong RPI. “We moved two home series to the road. We added a couple of really good opponents,” Johnson said, “and people were like, ‘hey, you’re in the Pac-12 [Conference], you don’t need to do that anymore.’ But I’m really glad we did it that way because it set us up very good for an at-large bid, potentially to host.” UCLA comeback sparks offense Down 5-1 in the ninth inning of a late-March rubber match to UCLA, Arizona needed to pull off something magical to win. With one out in the inning, two batters reached base via hit by pitch. Ramer then hit an RBI single, followed by an RBI double by Ryan Aguilar and a two-run single from Alfonso Rivas III. Tied at 5-5 with two outs, Bobby Dalbec hit a walk-off double down the left field line. “[We] had really struggled to get any type of offense going for the better part of two days, and next thing you know it’s [single]double, single-double,” Johnson said. “And you would have thought we won the national championship that day.” The ninth inning rally gave confidence to a struggling offense. Utah trip moves Dalbec to the mound—for good With a 3-3 record in Pac-12 play, Arizona headed to the University of Utah hoping to build some momentum. Of the UA’s 27 innings against Utah, Arizona led for 24 of them. Yet the Wildcats managed to leave Salt Lake City with zero wins. Following three blown saves, Johnson knew he needed to make a change before Arizona faced No. 19 BYU the next day. Johnson decided to move Bobby Dalbec, who had been serving as a part-time reliever, to a starter’s role. That Monday, Dalbec went 7.2 innings to lead Arizona to an 11-5 win. Dalbec made seven starts this season, including two stellar outings in the College World Series.

Wildcats salvage Oregon series, embark on postseason After dropping its first two games in Eugene, Oregon, Arizona baseball all but eliminated itself from the Pac-12 title race. But the Wildcats battled back that Sunday, winning the final game of the series 5-4. “I just had a feeling after that we survived and won the Sunday game,” Johnson said. “It was like, okay, we’re about ready to go off, and we’re going to play with great confidence and we’re going to attack this thing this the last week of the season and hopefully into the NCAA Tournament.” That’s just what Arizona did—winning its last five games against Abilene Christian University and University of Hawaii, Manoa before watching the NCAA Tournament selection show in the Denver airport. The Wildcats were rewarded with a No. 2 seed in the Lafayette, Louisiana Regional. Postseason heroics Arizona’s trip to Omaha followed the script of every classic championship run. Playing as the underdog in foreign, hostile environments (Lafayette and Starkville, Mississippi); overcoming factors out of your control (long rain delays in Lafayette); reaching the championship series thanks to one memorable play (Cesar Salazar’s 11th inning walk-off single against Mississippi State University). Arizona needed every ounce of energy to fight through everything from Southern humidity, to six-hour bus rides and raging fans. “I couldn’t wait to get to Omaha. It’s like we’re not going to have 14,000 people calling me a short guy or a midget or something,” Johnson joked. “And I think it prepared us well for here, and it’s been a great journey and one I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
Simply. Honestly. Optimistically. And sooner, rather than later. Although news about a sexually transmitted infection won’t usually be met with joy or a fist bump, it’s important to have the discussion with that “someone” before you are sexually intimate. Here are a few suggestions for making the conversation go as smoothly as possible: • Pick a comfortable, private place without many distractions. • Choose a time when you are both fairly relaxed and in a good frame of mind (not rushing off to class or at the end of a long day). • Stay positive. Your attitude can greatly influence how your message is received. • You might start out with, “I really enjoy being with you and that’s why I want to share something with you...” instead of “I have some bad news that really sucks...”.
• Be well-informed about your infection, including how it’s transmitted, the signs and symptoms, how it’s treated, and ways to prevent it from spreading from one person to another. You might want to have some printed information to share. • Be prepared for their initial shock. They are entitled to their feelings of disappointment, fear, etc. • Give them time to absorb the news and ask you questions. • Don’t apologize. You can’t change the past. Stay focused on what you can do. You may be surprised at the reaction you get. Your “someone” may not think it’s a big deal at all. They might be scared off. Or, perhaps they have some news for you, too. However they respond, you will know that you did the right thing. Reference: American Social Health Association (ASHASTD.org)

UA LGBTQ Affairs shifts their purpose BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
Since their establishment, the UA LGBTQ Affairs has shifted their purpose to supporting, preserving and strengthening their community rather than just educating it. “Our main goal is for social and community support for LGBTQ identified students, in whatever capacity that looks like,” said Kat Hermanson, lead graphic designer for the LGBTQ Resource Center. Although educating people remains important, Hermanson
believes their resources can be best spent supporting LGBTQ people, mainly due to the variety of information online and Safe Zonea program which educates those identifying differently. In 2007, the UA established the Office of LGBTQ Affairs after 20 years of urging proposals from faculty, staff and the LGBTQ community. Jen Hoefle Olson started her role as director of Office of LGBTQ Affairs in 2009. Olson highlighted the importance of their visibility on campus adding that they have grown over the years and that the
LGBTQ affairs office keeps track of their impact on campus through attendance numbers. According to the LGBTQ data point summary that Olson shared, they saw a 22 percent increase in the number of unique students using the resource center from the assessment year 2013-2014 to the assessment year 2014-2015. In Assessment year 2013-2014, LGBTQ affairs held 68 events with a total of 3,986 attendants. The following year, only three more events were added and a total of 6,157 people in attended. “Having a hub, a space, a sign
and place where people could come - the traffic has just increased every year,” Olson said. “I would say that since we got a center, the last three years have just been an upwards trajectory,” The ASUA Pride Alliance was established about twenty years ago while the LGBTQ Resource Center was created in 2013 in order to have a designated safe environment. Both are housed in the Student Union Memorial Center. The center has diversified and grown out of just being centered around gay issues, but also

UA students describe their experiences of coming out BY SEAN ORTH @seanaustinorth
The process of “coming out” for LGBTQ individuals is often portrayed in a singular fashion. An individual finding self-acceptance by publicly proclaiming their sexuality or gender identity can conjure images of warm hugs and waving of the pride flag, but not every coming out experience ends in a Diana Ross song. In reality, coming out is a complex process that is unique to every individual. In honor of LGBTQ Pride Month, several UA students have decided to share their coming out experiences. Because it is such a personal and sensitive process, the authors of these stories will remain anonymous. “So I had gone out on my first date with my now fiancé. I got home the next morning at 5 am. We sat in my truck and just talked for over five hours. I was walking on clouds. My mom was sitting on the couch watching something on TV, but not really paying attention. I went into the kitchen to see if there was coffee in the pot, and as I was walking past the couch to the hallway to my room, I said ‘mom, I need to tell you something.’ She asked what, to which I replied, ‘I went on a date with a boy last night.’ She said ‘okay’ and looked back to the TV. Three days later she runs up to me crying and hugs me, asking me why I didn’t think I could tell her, all of that sort of thing. It took three days for her to realize what I had told her. It was hilarious.”
“I pulled my parents aside and said something like ‘well actually there is one thing we’ve been talking about in therapy, can you guys get out of the car for a second.’ They did and before I knew it they were both standing in front of me. I stumbled on my words at the beginning but eventually it came out ‘I’m gay.’ My parents were visibly shocked and immediately asked ‘Really?’ and ‘are you sure you’re not bi?’ To which I answered ‘no I don’t think so ...’ Regardless, I told my parents at the time that I was 100 percent gay and into dudes and only dudes. I made sure that I told them that I didn’t expect them to just suddenly be cool with it; I knew they would need time.
“I came out in freshman year of high school, which wasn’t hard because I went to a very liberal arts charter school. My sister outed me to my parents in my junior year because she was getting questions from her friends about my sexuality. My family has advised me to swear secrecy to the rest of my family. If I had my choice in coming out to my parents, I’d have waited until it was more relevant in my life (I didn’t date seriously until college), but life usually doesn’t work out the way you plan it. In many ways, I envy the people who stay in the closet, for they never have to deal with changing the way they live. I hope that we’re heading in a direction as a society that is profoundly accepting of people of diverse sexualities and genders, but we’re not there yet, and I can’t really explain the shame I feel in sacrificing my freedom of expression to maintain family dynamics. I hope someday that I don’t have to hide and plow on.”
“Coming out as bisexual was a bit tricky. I slowly came out to multiple friends and then my siblings and although I’m not sure it’s clear to everyone I’ve ever met that I’m bi, it shouldn’t matter and I don’t think I should ever be defined by my sexuality. I feel like bisexuals are constantly marginalized by either end of the spectrum, demanding that we pick a side. A lot of that is starting to disappear and I’m glad that understanding of fluid sexuality is developing, but unfortunately it wasn’t a concept my parents could readily grasp. I didn’t think I was ready to tell my parents because their view of sexuality was so narrow-minded. It finally happened when my mom said while referencing a friends’ daughter who had come out, ‘if one of you turned out to ALI ALZEEN / THE DAILY WILDCAT be gay—’ I stopped her right there and said ‘Mom, you know I like girls too, right?’ She was taken aback at first but then realized she saw it coming. She told me I had always been unconventional and I guess being bisexual was just another part of the enigma. Although there’s still some tension with some people, I’m lucky to have family and friends who can see past my label of sexuality.”

Mapping Q gives artistic voice to LGBTQ youth BY SEAN ORTH @seanaustinorth
The UA Museum of Art and the Tucson Museum of Art have teamed up to present Mapping Q, a community arts education program aimed toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. In previous years, the UA Museum of Art ran the program but the TMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson, the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation and the University of Arizona School of Art have come together to expand the program. Mapping Q started as a way to project the marginalized voices of the LGBTQ youth. “The goal of the program was to create a space/program/exhibition
where the voice of LGBTQ youth was privileged,” said Chelsea Farrar, assistant curator of education at the UAMA. The program aims to build confidence through artistic expression for the LGBTQ youth, a group that is often plagued by suicide and depression. LGBTQ youth who may have been doubtful of their abilities have found assurance as artists through the Mapping Q program. One of the participating artists, James Gutierrez, expanded his understanding of art through the art that he created about himself. “Mapping Q changed the way I looked at art,” Gutierrez said, “it gave me a new perspective.” Along with helping the artists express their own confident individuality, Mapping Q serves
as a space in the museums where LGBTQ voices can be proudly displayed. Marianna Pegno, associate curator of education at the TMA, sees this program as more than just an exhibit—it helps shifts the scales of the art world. “It is an opportunity to be critical of and question the predominant heteronormative narratives that permeate displays and institutional structure,” Pegno said. Artists are not limited to creating traditional forms of art and can utilize a variety of mediums to convey their stories and emotions. Pegno said that some of the mediums the program offered this year included video, installation, painting, sculpture and collage. “Because there is not ‘one

The importance of straight allies BY RHIANNON BAUER @rhiannon_bauer
M
ore than a week after the tragic mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, millions are still grief-stricken for the victims and their families. In particular, much of the LGBTQ community is pained, having lost forty nine of their own. In times like these, it's important to come together and support each other in order to heal. But the simple five-letter acronym doesn't account for a group of people who could offer security and greatly influence the future of LGBTQ activism: heterosexual and cisgender allies. Rightly so, allies don't exactly belong to the community, as they don't share the same sexual preferences, gender identities and other traits that set LGBT apart. But for that reason, allies serve very unique— and potentially critical—functions for the community. For example, allies are incredibly empathetic sources of support and understanding to those who are struggling with identity issues. Straight people have all of the rights they need, with little to no judgment in regards to their sexuality. Any straight person could easily turn their back to a suffering gay person, dismissing the situation as someone else's problem or something from which they couldn't benefit by helping. Allies are inherently compassionate and selfless, as they want to help the LGBTQ community regardless of whether they gain anything for themselves. Many LGBTQ individuals find security in knowing that even outsiders understand and support the battle for an equal and judgment-free environment, for a world in which gay and transgender people are not targets of hate crimes. Not only can allies provide unique emotional support, but they can assist with furthering the fight for equal rights and acknowledgment. While members of the community are willing to fight relentlessly for themselves, their battle can still be ignored by their opponents. To reference Orlando once more, at least 16 Republican senators or House Representatives failed to acknowledge the LGBTQ community as the target of the Pulse nightclub shooting Roll Call reported. This unfortunate ignorance exemplifies how easy it is for those anti-LGBTQ individuals to turn a blind eye to those who desperately need to be seen and heard.
Perhaps allies could have more success at communicating these issues, especially to homophobes and transphobes who have no desire to listen to the LGBTQ community itself. Allies have also proven that they can help to bring about progress for the LGBTQ community. Take Susan Collins, for example. The Republican senator from Maine has shown support for LGBTQ both in statements and with her votes against the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy and discrimination in the workplace based on sexuality. Collins's allegiant support "has played a pivotal role in advancing support for [LGBTQ] equality," said Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin. LGBTQ allies—even those not connected closely to the government—are capable of effecting serious progress to the fight for equal rights and treatment, especially if they find strength in their numbers. The portion of the United States population which identifies as LGBTQ is something around 3.4 percent according to Gallup polling. While even a relatively small fraction of the population can make a difference by themselves, the overwhelming majority of the population— the people who do not identify as LGBTQ— could still contribute greatly to the cause by identifying as allies and doing what they can to aid the community. The relationship between LGBTQ people and their allies could be massively successful when both parties fully work together and accept one another, despite identity differences. Allies should remain informed about what's going on in the community and contribute whenever possible. A person should be proud of their identity as an ally and clearly show their support to the LGBTQ community – a closeted ally doesn't aid the cause, emotionally or politically. In turn, the LGBTQ community should be welcoming of its heterosexual and cisgender allies and help them to understand the issues being faced. To exclude allies would be to hypocritically mimic the behavior of those who exclude LGBTQ individuals. Allies are there to help, and it's the job of LGBTQ community to show them how they can. In light of the Orlando tragedy, it seems there is still a long road ahead for the LGBTQ community. Hopefully allies can continue their invariant support and love, making the journey just a little more bearable for those traveling.

Alternative Protein Sources– What Are My Options? Protein is part of all body cells and is vital to the growth, maintenance and repair of body tissue. Proteins are made up of amino acids arranged in different combinations to carry out their specific jobs. Of the 20 amino acids that make up the proteins of the body, 9 cannot be made by the body fast enough to meet its needs for growth and maintenance. These are known as essential amino acids (EAAs) and must be obtained through the food we eat. When a food contains all 9 EAAs, it is referred to as “complete.” All animal-derived and some plant-derived protein sources are complete. Eating a variety of plant-based protein daily (whether or not “complete”) can supply all the amino acids needed for health and activity. Combining certain foods with others to achieve a complete protein at each meal is no longer believed necessary. To estimate your daily protein needs, multiply your “protein activity factor” by your body weight in pounds: • Recreation/Sedentary: 0.4 grams per lb. of body weight • Moderate Daily Muscle Use: 0.5 grams per lb. of body weight • Runners/Heavy sports: 0.6 - 0.9 grams per lb. of body weight

Q& A
Kat Hermanson, LGBTQ Resource Center’s lead graphic designer
BY MICHELLE JACQUETTE @MichelleJaquet
Kat Hermanson, the lead graphic designer for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Resource Center and a senior studying gender & women studies, has been with the LGBTQ Resource Center for three years and is excited to begin her fourth. Over the years, Hermanson has watched the resource center’s mission shift from an education-based effort to inform the campus about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning needs, to an effort to provide a safe physical space for LGBTQ students to find and build a community. Hermanson said the main resources that the center provides students include the physical space, social events, counseling referrals and emotional support for students who come into the center in crisis. The Daily Wildcat sat down with Hermanson to talk about the center, the aftermath of the Orlando shootings and what the university could do better to support its LGBTQ population: Daily Wildcat: After the tragedy in Orlando, did activity change at the resource center? Are you doing any different programs? Are people reaching out with different needs? Kat Hermanson: Mainly during the summer the center is pretty minimally staffed because the school way under funds us. We don’t have enough funding to hire as many people as we need to keep more community on campus, which is a really big problem. What’s happened since the Orlando shooting is we’ve had a lot of people in the center who are from the other resource centers or the Common Ground Alliance or other centers for diversity on campus who will come into the center. And [they’ve] been there to help create a more energetic and supportive atmosphere than we could provide with just a few people. So that was the week after and that was really important and also in the week after we had

method’ or technique, there is no wrong way to make an art project during Mapping Q,” Farrar said, adding that they encourage artists to find the medium(s) that work best for them. She said many of the previous participants return to the program
a forum—I think the Wednesday after—we had an open forum for the community that had around 35 participants. It was a really important day for a lot of people to decompress from what had happened. Those are the big things—things have calmed down a little now, especially with it [the Orlando shooting] being on the other side of the country. It just becomes sort of routine dealing with the residual feeling of tragedy, and I feel like everyone in the community is more on their guard now - a lot more worried about safety - and I think especially with just general public opinion around gay and lesbian populations. Public opinion has shifted a lot in the past few decades, and so when something like that happens it removes the blindfold of like, ‘oh things are getting better’ and it becomes more obvious to people who may have not been thinking about it as much that there is still a lot to be looking towards. DW: You said the center doesn’t get enough funding to support enough staff members? Hermanson: Yeah, we only actually have one full-time staff member and it’s Jen Hoefle Olson, the program director, and it’s supposed to be her job to pretty much run everything. We have between 8-12 interns a semester that run student programs through Pride Alliance and then we have two graduate assistants, but we only have one full-time staff and she is supposed to single-handedly do all the administrative work, be a support counselor for students who come in [to the center] in crisis (which happens pretty much everyday), as well as support the Safe Zone program, write grants and figure out funding, support the intern team in Pride Alliance and all the other student organizations on campus involving sexual orientation and gender identity. She’s only one person and it’s not enough and that’s [for] all the cultural resource centers — everyone is stretched really thin. DW: In an ideal world, how many full-time staff members would the center have?
with new ideas and ways to visually express themselves. After events like the Pulse night club shooting in Orlando, the validity of “safe spaces” for LGBTQ individuals has become more questionable. Farrar said that although Mapping Q could never eliminate that feeling of violation that continues to exist, the program can help change societal views. “What [Mapping Q] and other
Hermanson: A lot of our peer institutions have two or three program directors and a lot have a full-time counselor that stays in the center. Also it’d be nice to have another grad student, so ideally we would have twice as many staff as we do now. DW: I believe that your group sent representatives to the Diversity Task Force meetings that were going on before summer, is that true? Hermanson: Yes, that’s true. A lot of the student leaders from the centers have been involved in the Marginalized Students of the University of Arizona’s attempts to initiate conversation, and people over the summer are still going even though not a lot. Like two or three people [from the LGBTQ Resource Center] over the summer are still going to the Diversity Task Force meetings. So yeah that’s ongoing, but it looks like there will be some good changes. It’s unclear if more funding and more staff will be part of those changes. DW: Any specific changes you are hopeful for? Hermanson: I don’t know if there’s been publicly much [said] yet, so I’m not sure how much of it is speculation and what’s been approved or not because the process is rather tedious ... but I know two of the things we are really excited about and seem like they are going to happen are more gender-neutral restrooms throughout campus as well as clear signage describing the university policy that you are allowed to use whatever restroom matches your gender identity regardless of how you’re presenting or your assigned sex. As well as I’m pretty sure there is going to be some improvements for preferred names and pronouns in class but I’m less sure of what that is going to look like. DW: What is an idea for how someone could show which pronouns they want to be used for them in class? Hermanson: What a lot of universities do
LGBTQ programs in community spaces like museums can do is work to realign a cultural system that privilege one identity over another,” Farrar said. Art, as a reflection of society, cannot rely on a one-sided perception of reality and Mapping Q helps inject these marginalized narratives into the mainstream. Solidarity is crucial to the confidence that LGBTQ artists

is list them [preferred pronouns] on the class rosters, which has worked out well in other places and right now we have the preferred name policy. On UAccess you can change the name that appears on the class roster and you essentially type in a name and as long as it’s not like something that’s a joke ... your preferred name gets approved within 24 hours and that’s the name that shows up on your D2L page, your email, your class rosters and that’s already a policy so I think that part of the hope that the students have is that pronoun usage could go through a similar kind of system and appear on the class rosters.
need to comfortably produce their art, and programs like Mapping Q can build confidence and foster creativity among artists. “It can give [the artists] the much needed space they need to feel safe and provides a space [for] hanging with other LGBTQ youth,” Gutierrez said. The exhibition spans three venues—the UAMA, the TMA and a video screening at MOCA.
There is a collaborative poem written by all of the artists that is shared between the UAMA and the TMA. Farrar said that each museum offers a unique experience but visitors have to go to both museums in order to see the entire exhibit. The collaborative exhibits run at the UAMA and TMA until July 31.

How hormone therapy changes a body BY BAILEY BELLAVANCE @WCbellavance
Being transgendered means that someone doesn’t identify the gender they were assigned at birth. Transgendered people can choose to transition in a variety of ways, whether it be only socially, hormonally or with hormones and surgery. Transgendered men and women can go through hormone replacement therapy using androgens for trans men and estrogen for trans women. This changes a person’s secondary sexual characteristics to match with their gender identity. Hormones can be administered in many different forms. Testosterone can be injected, come as a transdermal patch or gel, orally and small pellets placed under the skin. For trans women, HRT can begin with an antiandrogen, commonly called a T-Blocker or testosterone blocker. Estrogen and progesterone may be administered and come in pill form, as skin patches and as creams, gels and sprays. But what’s going on to the body
of someone who is transitioning? While HRT is different for everyone, transitioning with hormones can be seen as a second puberty. For males
transitioning to female, hormones typically change everything, from skin to fat. Over time, body hair will diminish, sometimes disappearing
completely from the arms, chest, legs and shoulders. However, hair in the pubic region and armpits does not diminish as significantly as other body hair, and facial hair at the start of HRT will remain. Skin will also change, becoming softer and more translucent during treatment. More long term, over one to two years, subcutaneous fat will redistribute and muscle mass will decrease, with most fat being localized in the thighs, buttock and hips. The more expected changes caused by HRT affects the genitals and prostate as well as fertility. Testes and the prostate will diminish in size and testosterone production will be reduced.Continued use of estrogen will most likely result in infertility. One thing unchanged by hormone therapy, however, is voice. HRT will not change the pitch or inflection of someone transitioning. HRT for individuals transitioning to male also has varying affects. For trans men, HRT will change the voice, causing it to become deeper. Facial and body hair will also
begin to grow thicker and in more areas. Some induviduals may also experience male pattern baldness. Due to a redistribution of fat, breast tissue will also shrink and muscles will see further development, especially in the upper body. Veins will become more prominent and skin will coarsen and acne, mainly during the first few years of transitioning, will occur more often. As expected, ovulation and menstruation will cease, but red blood cell count will also increase as therapy continues. Some may also experience a growth spurt during the course of treatment. While physical changes that occur because of HRT are noticeable, psychological changes that come with the therapy are often harder to observe and define. After starting HRT, many trans men reporting feeling more energetic and confident with an increased sex drive. Increased aggression, while often associated with high levels of testosterone, is not noticeable in most trans men who are taking testosterone as part of HRT.

Out and proud in STEM fields UA LGBTQ LGBTQ scientists are often underrepresented, but thanks to the triumphs of these openly gay scientists, the future looks encouraging
BY NATALIE ROBBINS @natpatat11
Before the release of the movie, “The Imitation Game,” in 2014, Alan Turing may not have been a household name. The movie follows Turing, who worked to build a machine that could crack the German enigma code during World War II, who was also gay. Turing is only one of many famous mathematicians and scientists who represent the LGBTQ community. Perhaps one of the earliest and well-know gay men in science is Sir Francis Bacon. He has laced science textbooks everywhere, and is credited with creating the scientific method—which has been deemed essential to scientists through several disciplinarians. His work has lived through the test of time. Writings by Bacon’s colleagues have revealed that he was gay, according to the Brookhaven National Laboratory. In a more modern context, Alan Turing is credited with various mathematic and computer science triumphs. One of his most well know feats was cracking the enigma code, which Nazi Germany used to communicate during World War II. Turing’s accomplishments have lead to many universities across the globe dedicating schools, art, and acclamations in his honor. At the UA, a 1997 Math Awareness Week project dedicated several online pages to Turing’s biography and life’s work. Of special note was the Turing Test, which he created to test the intelligence of computers. Finally, Sally Ride, the first American woman to enter space

incorporating issues from the larger LGBTQ community, according to Hermanson. “People really define what the center is,” Hermanson said. “It really becomes so much more about the personal and political identities of the people who are inhabiting the space. There’s a lot more diverse identities here than there was my first semester.” Lex Salas, a neuroscience sophomore and Pride Alliance internsaid the Pride Alliance helped her build inner confidence and find a safe and free place in which she could

Salas said she feels the need for a bigger space where the LGBTQ community can interact, rather than just the one room they have. “I would really like to work towards working with the UA administration to try to get more funding to try and get a bigger
serving as a shining example of the LGBTQ community. A quick internet search of LGBTQ scientists, however, does not show as many recognizable names as a search of famous LGBTQ artists. This has not gone unnoticed. STEM, a UA LGBTQ student organization works to encourage LGBTQ involvement in the sciences. Although there may not as many famous LGBTQ scientists, STEM member Austin Reed has found many peers within his major, chemical and environmental engineering, which are a part of the LGBTQ community. “My class at the moment stands at about 80 people, and I’ve met a few that are openly part of the LGBT community,” said Reed, a junior studying chemical and environmental engineering. “I didn’t have high expectations going into it, but I was actually pleasantly surprised.” Even though Reed has met more members of the LGBTQ community in his major than he expected, he also believes that there is some truth to the fact that there are less LGBTQ students pursuing STEM careers. “I feel like there’s a big issue about underrepresentation within certain fields,” said Reed. “While, yeah, LGBT individuals make up a less than [a] proportionate [number] of the STEM field, I think it’s important to be encouraging, but not forceful.” Ideally, with encouragement and the recognition of already accomplished LGBTQ scientists, more LGBTQ students will be ushered into STEM careers.
center to have it be more accessible,” Salas said. Salas, Hermanson and Olson all mentioned that one of their biggest issues is limited space. “On a campus of this size, in a state like this-there is a lot of inward facing care that needs to happen for the community and there is there’s a lot of outward facing education that is necessary,” Olson said. “Part of the challenge is limited capacity; which students have characterized as a lack of institutional support”.
