Phishing email brings UA web security to light BY JAMIE VERWYS @DailyWildcat
An email designed to look like it was sent from UA President Ann Weaver Hart was identified as a threat on Jan. 12. At the beginning of the fall 2016 semester, an email sent to some university employees appearing to be from the UA president turned out to be a phisher in Belgium. The UA’s Office of Information Security receives hundreds of reports of potentially dangerous emails on campus every year.
So far, there have been over 30 posted alerts of suspicious emails found in student and faculty inboxes this semester alone. Phishing is a social engineering technique to acquire login information and personal and banking details under the guise of legitimacy. The sender of a phishing email attempts to lure a user into giving up key facts of their digital identity. Information Security Manager Teresa Banks is in charge of online awareness and training at the UA. She said that students are viable

targets for hackers. “Now that campus is more active, students are looking at their email,” she said. “This generation isn’t always keyed in to their email. When it looks like something that could be coming from the university, you’re clicking on it, you’re making sure you know what’s going on and it’s easy to use a few buzz words and trick you.” There are a few different ways a phish attack can snare a victim. Opening the initial email can infect someone’s computer with
@DAILYWILDCAT
viruses or ransomware, which blocks a user from their own data until they pay money to get back in. Opening a link can direct a user to a fake website with malware. Finally, when a person actually submits their information, the logins for their accounts are saved and can be used to phish. Computer Sciences student Andrew Boring said he always feels comfortable opening emails that look like they’re from the university.

UA banned persons list available to public BY JESSICA SURIANO @suriano_jessica
The University of Arizona Police Department has released a list of people that have been banned from campus, or sections of campus, to the public for the first time. Currently 40 men and women are on the list, which can be viewed on the University of Arizona Police Department’s website. The people on the list have been banned from campus under the Exclusionary Order policy created in 2006. “An order is issued as a means of intervention to remove disruptive persons from specific areas or the entire campus, either temporarily or permanently,” the policy states. The policy cannot be applied to university students, faculty or staff. Dean of Students Kendal Washington White said these groups of individuals would undergo different consequences for disruptive, threatening or illegal behavior, such as suspensions. “We were just trying to work out the bugs because they have to go through a process,” UAPD Crime Prevention Officer Rene Hernandez said on why a banned persons list hasn’t been published before. “In the past, we just felt at the time, it was not feasible.” The policy states the university president, dean, director, department head or any other person in charge of a specific location or event may request an exclusionary order. Police may request them under certain conditions. UAPD officers issuing an exclusionary order have discretion in who is receiving one and why, as well as in how long the person will be banned for, according to Hernandez. He said a lot of different behaviors could
warrant an exclusionary order, but some examples would be if someone is a habitual bike thief or if someone is using university library computers for reasons not conducive to an educational environment, such as looking at sites “very graphic in nature and very disruptive.” “We’re an open campus, a public institution, so we have all kinds of people who are on our campus who are usually here for good reasons, but occasionally we have people who come to campus who engage in behavior or activity that may get to a point where we feel they should not be able to come to campus any longer,” Washington White said. She said the length of time people are banned from campus varies depending on what their disruptive behavior was. The policy states the people are banned for a “presumptive six months unless otherwise specified.” An individual who was recently banned from campus for a year after his arrest for kicking a student in the chest is “Brother” Dean Saxton, the street-preacher known for his rants on homosexuality, women’s sexuality and other topics. “Everyone cheers when false claims are made on Christians,” Saxton tweeted two days after receiving his exclusionary order. In the comments of this tweet, one user asked if his statement meant he was denying the assault, to which Saxton replied, “It’s real, but the media is lying.” “When life puts you in tough situations, don’t say ‘why me?’ Just say try me!” Saxton also tweeted hours later. No one on the list has been permanently banned as of right now, and all exclusions will expire at some point during 2017.

SOPHOMORE JOSE GARDEA STUDIES for a final on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016. UA recently announced changes to its grade replacement policy making it easier for students to take advantage and improve their GPA.
New GRO Policy helps students raise GPA BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33
The revisions made to the Grade Replacement Opportunity policy beginning with the Spring 2017 term were sent to UA students via email on Jan. 10. The changes to the policy were made to benefit a larger number of students and clarify the requirements of eligibility, according to Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Gail Burd. As a policy designed to help qualifying students raise their GPAs, get off academic probation or meet degree requirements, GRO is a short-term fix for students who failed and need to retake a class to replace their grade. A UA announcement sent to faculty and instructors stated that the changes were requested by the University Academic Advising Council and approved by the Undergraduate
Council in April, 2016. The new change involves using “earned” units rather than the previously used “attempted” units to qualify a student for GRO, according to the email students received. Students will still need to have 59 or less “earned units” at the time of application to qualify for GRO. The justifications for this change were that the phrase “attempted units” is confusing to students and has required explanation from advisors, as stated in the UA announcement to staff. “The addition to number five, ‘developmental courses,’ is justified because those pre-college courses do not count toward total degree units and do not factor into the GPA. Some students have lost a GRO attempt by repeating a course that doesn’t count toward the grade,” the announcement emailed to staff read. “By moving item number eight closer to the top of the list, students should pay attention to

Trump’s Cabinet picks generate controversy BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
As of Jan. 16, President-elect Donald Trump has submitted the names of 14 cabinet-level nominees to their relevant Senate committees to receive nomination hearings. He has yet to nominate an individual to serve as his Secretary of Agriculture. Senate committees began nomination hearings Jan. 10. By a majority vote, these committees send Trump’s nominees to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote. All committees contain a Republican majority as a result of the GOP control of the Senate. None of Trump’s nominees can be confirmed until after his inauguration Jan. 20. All Cabinet nominees undergo background checks by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and submit a financial disclosure statement to the Office of Government Ethics. In a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Walter Shaub, Director of the Office of Government Ethics, expressed his concern over Trump nominees receiving Senate hearing without a completed ethics review. “[This] has left some of the nominees with potentially unknown or unresolved ethics issues,” Shaub said. In a joint statement released before the
new year, the ranking Democrats on all 16 Senate committees stated Cabinet nominees should only proceed past committees if both a background check and ethics report are completed. The Trump transition team released a statement criticizing this politicization of the nomination process. “Americans voted to drain the swamp,” the statement read, “This is a disservice to the country.” Senate hearings will continue throughout the coming weeks. After confirmation, Trump’s Cabinet will help shape government policies, including those concerning publicly funded universities, like the UA, and research funding. Department of Education nominee: Betsy DeVos Betsy DeVos, Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Education, advocated for school choice, the expansion of the voucher program and character schools as chairwomen of American Federation for Children. “I believe every child, no matter their zip code or their parents’ jobs, deserves access to a quality education,” DeVos said. She supports high accountability and standards but opposes Common Core in favor of local control. Under the Obama administration, the Department of Education introduced new regulations to shrink the for-profit college
CYBERSECURITY FROM PAGE 1
“I’ve never had problems from my UA email address,” he said. “I know that no security is fool-proof, but I also figure that we’re far enough into the digital age that most institutions have some idea of what they’re up against.” Email scams have evolved and continue to become more sophisticated. Interim Director of IS Gil Salazar has an extensive background in IT security and has been with the university over 30 years. He said bad spelling or other errors used to be the calling card of a phish. “Now they look legitimate, the grammar has gotten better,” he said. “We tend to air on the side of being cautious, and we tell people not to click on links at all. Links are a sure sign of one of the phishing symptoms.” Links inside a phishing email tend to lead to a fake site. Hovering over the URL will reveal the site’s true identity. Attachments are also a sign of phishing, and emails from the university will never ask for login details. Charlie Touseull has worked at the UA for nine years and is currently a library information associate. He has seen phishing attempts go up at the college. “Because of repeated warnings, I have personally never fallen for such an attack,” he said. “However, gauging from the amount of emails that are sent to me by various members of the IT department, many of my colleagues across campus are not seriously heading those calls.” Though Touseull has confidence in the library’s security systems, he said he believes all users must be active in their own digital protection. “Security protocols and firewalls are only effective if all players adhere to a similar level of action and vigilance when it comes to safeguarding data and information,” he said. “This is what hackers do, they seek out the weakest links and attempt at

finding ways to exploit weaknesses within a system.” Information Security posts daily alerts of emails found on campus that might contain cyber threats. Though Salazar has not received a phishing report from a student, it can and does happen. “At the university, phishers are most interested in getting into our UAccess faculty and student systems,” he said. Once they’ve gotten the information, they have access to student grades or financial records. They have the keys to your digital kingdom.” Some of the student scams found by security were fake job offers, illegitimate security and financial alerts and Microsoft support and tax return scams. Finding patterns helps to identify phishing sooner, and Banks has spotted a trend for freshmen. “Somehow during orientation some bad guys get a hold of some email addresses for the incoming freshmen,” she said. “Then, they get these emails saying, ‘I need a personal assistant’ or ‘I need a courier,’ something like that, and their goal is to get access to your bank account, and it has happened.” Salazar said one student in the past spent about $3,500 as a result of supplying personal information for a fake job. While students are at risk of email scams, it is the college faculty and staff most in danger of phishing attacks. “We’ve had instances where they change payroll deposits,” Salazar said. “Money goes somewhere else, they do that. We had a couple last summer that hit hard for faculty and staff.” Any department at the university is susceptible, from Information Security itself up to the president. When an email appears to be from someone or a business that a person knows, such as in the case of the email supposedly from Hart, it is called spear phishing. “You have emails that sound like they’re coming from the university,” Banks said. “Now they have your address, they continue to phish with your address and they’re going for the whale. They’re going for the big money.”
DeVos’s Senate hearings began on Jan. 17. During her first day of testimony, she said several statements causing lawmakers to pause, including advocating for guns in schools “to protect from potential grizzlies.”
TRUMP CABINET, 6
Boring was surprised that phishers are able to mimic the UA. “I probably shouldn’t be because I’m currently in a computer security class, but we also haven’t really covered this stuff yet,” he said. “They probably target students because college is confusing, and uninformed students are easy to confuse or trick, and therefore easy to con.” When Information Security finds a phish, they block the IP address and fake sites from the campus. A student using UA Wi-Fi will receive a message blocking them from any flagged websites. Most often, phishers work from other countries and a lot of login attempts with fake credentials at the UA come from China, Russia and Iran, Banks said. “They can hide and they may not be in this country,” Banks said. “If I can jump from a campus to a campus you can’t tell I’m coming from Nigeria.” Even if someone is blocked for phishing, Salazar said recourse only comes if the phisher is caught using the information they have stolen. They can’t prosecute someone for trying to steal the information. Touseull said that hacking is a profitable business. “Personal information is worth a lot of money on the dark web, and criminals will pay top dollar for that information,” he said. Information Security encourages the UA community to watch for alerts on their website and social media. If someone finds a suspicious email, they should first check to see if it’s been reported, and do so if it hasn’t. Students can sign up for a free double authentication process called Global NetID plus to ensure that if their password is stolen, someone cannot get into their accounts. Phishing will continue to evolve. “This is not a problem that’s going to go away,” Salazar said. “We can block the whole campus from the world, but people internally are poking holes through that. People still respond enough that it’s lucrative.”

POLICE BEAT BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
Only on the weekends A University of Arizona Police Department officer pulled a vehicle over for driving without headlights at sunset on Jan. 7. The officer discovered that the man was driving with a suspended license. A background check also showed the man had a Tucson Police Department warrant for shoplifting. The officer asked him why his license was suspended; the man answered that it was for a DUI in 2002. When the officer conducted an inventory of the car, he found a glass pipe with white residue in the bowl. Soon after that, he read the man his Miranda rights and questioned him about the pipe. The man stated he might have had some methamphetamine inside the car. The officer placed the man under arrest for the TPD warrant, drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. After placing him in handcuffs, the officer conducted one more search of the car and found a small baggie containing marijuana. The man said he forget it was there and said it was for his mom. The officer concluded there was nothing else in the car until the man stated he wanted to be honest and told the officer there was meth in a small bag underneath the passenger’s seat. He said he bought it from a friend for five dollars and only smoked it on the weekends. The man was arrested for possession of a dangerous drug, possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and driving under a suspended license. A lot of drugs and the fake roommate A UAPD officer stopped a biker for running a stop sign on Jan. 5. The biker immediately told the officer the brown paper bag in his hands contained needles for his diabetic roommate. The officer asked if he could check his pockets and backpack. He then found a small pouch with three small bags containing a white powder residue. He asked what was in the bags and the biker confirmed it was cocaine from a New Year’s party. The officer found two more empty baggies similar to the ones in the pouch and a pencil case with three syringe plungers, a metal tin and a broken methamphetamine pipe. Inside of the brown paper bag were 100 new syringes and two baggies containing heroin cooking tins, tourniquets, alcohol swabs and a book about using heroin safely. The biker also had multiple wrenches and bike parts in his backpack. He was read his Miranda rights and stated he smokes marijuana, uses heroin, cocaine and meth. The man was cited and released for possession of drugs, paraphernalia and issued a civil citation for failure to halt at a stop sign.

DeVos also wouldn’t confirm she would enforce gainful employment regulations, which ensure educational institutions are providing quality educations to students, when pressed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions During his confirmation hearing, Jeff Sessions, Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, characterized Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals as constitutionally questionable and would have no issue overseeing the ending of policy which provides in-state tuition and temporary deportation relief for young migrants. UA professors recently signed a letter in support of DACA students on campus. The Arizona Board of Regents released a more ambiguous statement reading, “The board remains committed to affordable access to higher education for all eligible students. The board is also committed to compliance with state and federal law.” The regents said DACA students with employment authorization and state residency will continue to receive in-state tuition. If the government repeals DACA or prohibits in-state tuition for current DACA students, this policy could change. Sessions was previously denied a federal judgeship under the Reagan administration due to concerns over alleged racially insensitive remarks he made while a U.S. Attorney for Alabama. Sen. Cory Booker, speaking to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, said, “Sen. Sessions has not demonstrated a commitment to a central requisite of the job—to aggressively pursue the congressional

it! Many students have missed the GRO filing period because the deadline is early in the term.” Using earned units benefits students as units that were previously included, such as units for courses with “W” and “E” grades, will no longer be counted in the calculation, according to the email sent to students. “GROing my trigonometry class really helped me out,” said Sophie Meynard, a speech language and hearing sophomore. “A lot of the larger math classes are difficult for students who need individual help, so I think this change is beneficial to students whose grades suffer because of those kinds of issues.” Spring semesters show an increase in students utilizing GRO. “Fall 2016 it was about 384 students who were repeating a math course for GRO, as best I can tell,” said associate professor from the Department of Mathematics Robert Indik. “Spring it was 746 doing GROs.” Meynard explained the process she used to take advantage of the GRO policy. “I ended up taking a 3-week online course during the summer,” she said. “To sign up for GRO I had to go onto UAccess and select GRO for it.” Burd explained that the registrar will identify a

Arizona Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake have both publicly endorsed Session’s nomination. Previously, Sessions voiced criticism over the Individuals With Disabilities in Education Act, which provides special needs individuals appropriate classroom resources, arguing it results in impunity for children to disrupt classroom learning. As Attorney General, Sessions will lead the Department of Justice’s prosecutions of higher education institutions failing to comply with federal law, either anti-discrimination provisions or otherwise. Secretary of State nominee: Rex Tillerson If confirmed, Rex Tillerson, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State, will control the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, a subsidiary of the State Department. The State Department funds the Fulbright Scholarship Program and also oversees cultural-exchange programs for college students wishing to study abroad. Tillerson, a former Exxon Mobil CEO, has been criticized for his close ties to Russia. He was previously awarded the “Order of Friendship” by Vladimir Putin. During his committee hearing, Tillerson said, “Russia today poses a danger, but it is not unpredictable in advancing its own interests.” He also acknowledged their support of a Syrian regime which has violated the law of war. In the face of conflict-of-interest concerns, Tillerson announced he would recuse himself course on a student’s schedule and notify them about any GRO opportunities. “A student must have earned a C or below to use the GRO for that course,” she explained. “Only 3 GROs are permitted.” The number of students utilizing GRO has generally been consistent in recent years. “I believe when I first learned of it [GRO], students did not have any restriction in terms of the number of units that they had taken already,” Indik said. “Some years ago a restriction was added that the students would not be able to GRO once they had attempted 60 units of UA classes.” In the last 16 years, the amount of students using GRO has increased, according to Indik. “I think this is mostly in proportion to enrollment,” he said. “The people who know more about the effect on students are the students themselves and their academic advisors. As teachers we are mostly unaware.” The changes made to the policy are good news, according to Meynard. “This will hopefully help a lot more students increase their grades by a little bit,” she said. “Now that the policy has been revised, I think students should be more aware of them.” Indik agreed that overall, the changes made to the GRO policy are a good thing. “However, students often think that it accomplishes more for them than it does.

sensible. However, if it were up to me, I would not restrict the GRO option in terms of credits taken at all. I like the idea of redemption, and I do not think the risk that students might just blow off a class grade as a result is significant.”

Trump is the unpresidential president-elect The president-elect’s late-night Twitter tirades and digital feuds with various heads of states and public leaders needs to come to an end—he owes more to the office he’s assuming
BY LEAH GILCHRIST @leahcgilchrist
I
f Donald Trump continues with his campaign trail and post-election behavior, it will continue to normalize his erratic words and actions. When the term president comes to mind, many Americans think of an individual who exhibits strong leadership and has an overall appeal to the American public. Someone who values family, who parents want their children to look up to. It’s a position of respect, and many Americans have great respect for their nation’s leader and the values exhibited while in office. This last election season has been, at best, unusual. Many Americans are uncertain about the future of the country and the man about to be sworn into office. President-elect Trump’s behavior on the campaign trail and following the election is reason enough for concern. Statements and actions made by the president-elect lie outside the range of qualities the American public usually expect to see from their president. In the months post election, Trump’s strange and erratic behavior has continued to trickle into the transition to the White House. It’s a difficult situation to put the public in. Arguably, the media attention given to Trump’s wild statements give him more exposure than necessary and potentially threw the election. On the other hand,
how would the public feel about their president-elect if his strange behavior hadn’t been covered at all? As Americans, we are now forced to walk a thin line in order to keep from normalizing the behavior of our soon-to-be president. In a strange way, giving Trump’s odd statements too much attention is similar to the mistakes some parents experience when raising their kids, where giving them too much attention will encourage them to act badly. Trump is no stranger to the Twitter verse. We might have thought and silently hoped the strange, middle-of-the-night threads of Trump lashing out at people he believes are attacking him would come to an end following his election, but we were wrong. Trump continues to lash out at the media, various politicians and celebrities. If we give him more attention for this, it encourages him and makes his behavior normal. If we don’t call him out on it, he’ll continue to slip under everyone’s watch. It’s a beast only tamable by those keeping a close eye on him. Aside from what he sees as counter attacks, his recent feud with John Lewis is only another recent case of Trump’s rash and charged language. This is not the first time Trump has run head to head with a public figure, and it very likely won’t be the last. Trump recently took to Twitter to counterattack actress Meryl Streep following her speech at the Golden Globes. At this point, gawking at Trump’s charged behavior only

encourages him to continue doing it. We’re now stuck in a cycle where when he says or does something shocking, the media covers it, people are shocked and disgusted and it’s forgotten. Repeat the cycle. At this point, his behavior is already becoming normal. When we look at the news, it’s another day, another public figure feuding with our president-elect. He’s an experienced reality TV star. He knows how to put on a good show, and above that, he knows people will watch it out of morbid curiosity.
The Daily Wildcat Editorial Policy Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.
It reveals not only the president-elect’s ignorance to those who lead their lives differently from his own, but it also reveals that he is prioritizing his own image above America’s. As Americans, allowing his behavior to occur, or even brushing it off as just another incident, normalizes the behavior. It’s something we shouldn’t encourage in Trump, and we shouldn’t allow his behavior to tarnish the image of the executive position. Allowing him to get away with long Twitter threads and
publicly making statements with charged language normalizes the behavior for the American public. It will create the idea that if the president can get away with it, it must be OK. We want the position of the President of the United States to be one which young people look at as a respected and legitimate position. Trump will be in the spotlight as the president, and he should take great care in making sure the impression he leaves on the public is one of dignity.

Trump needs to get over his media disdain It’s time for Donald Trump to quit his repeated attacks on the news media and frequent cries of “fake news” every time something is published he doesn’t like—it’s time to move on
BY AURORA BEGAY @DailyWildcat
P
resident-elect Donald Trump has continuously criticized the work of journalists since beginning his run for presidency. He has tweeted condescending and unfiltered opinions about the work of journalism and other controversial topics such as immigration, the work of President Obama and many more. In a 2005 interview with Billy Bush, previously of “Access Hollywood,” Trump was recorded on video basically bragging about inappropriately touching women and how he can get away with it because he’s a celebrity and that celebrities can get away with anything. This might be why Trump doesn’t like journalists. He probably doesn’t like that

hateful words. Many famous people have their moment in the spotlight where heavy gossip and news coverage of them occur. Most of them handle it professionally and with grace. Trump is a narcissist who loves having the attention on him. Journalists could cover him as accurate and thoroughly as they can, and he will still find something to attack them on. The attacks toward journalists are getting old. Trump repeats everything he says. He’s always using accusations of “FAKE NEWS” to degrade journalism. He holds a stubborn grudge and when you turn on the news, there’s always coverage of the same topic on how Trump said this or that. Enough is enough, Donald Trump. It’s time for you to focus on things that matter like climate change, the money that we owe China or a plan for dealing with ISIS. Sadly though, I don’t think Trump will ever stop antagonizing journalists.

Do you want to see history in the making? The UA is in the process of casting the mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), which will be the largest telescope in the world once completed. Don McCarthy, astronomer and astronomy lecturer at the Steward Observatory, said the lab has already cast four of the seven total mirrors for the GMT telescope. These mirrors, which measure 8.4 meters in diameter and are the largest single pieces of glass in the world, are currently undergoing stages of polishing and construction, according to McCarthy. A tour of the mirror lab will include a brief video and talk by a Lunar and Planetary Laboratory docent, followed by a visit to the casting and polishing labs. On any given day people might see something quite different due to the fact that mirrors are frequently moved to other areas of the lab as they advance through the construction process, according to McCarthy. “In fact, that’s actually a reason to go more than once.” McCarthy said. Tours began Jan. 18 and continue until April 13. Tickets range from $10-20, making the tour studentbudget friendly. The mirror lab is also closer than you think. Located underneath the football stadium, it’s within easy walking distance from anywhere on campus.

Undergrad research opportunities for new year BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @DailyWildcat
The UA offers plentiful opportunities for undergraduates to get involved in research. Many professors offer individual research opportunities to students who show interest and to those they believe capable of taking on the responsibility. In addition, a number of formal opportunities exist for motivated students. Summer Research Institute: The SRI offers research opportunities in multiple different fields, primarily for underrepresented and first-generation students, whether they are from the UA or not. Students who apply and are accepted are paired with a professor in their major field to conduct research and gain experience. One of the main goals of the program is to prep participants for graduate work at the UA. Undergraduates must have a cumulative 3.0 GPA, the time to work 40 hours per week and U.S. citizenship, or permanent residence or refugee status. In addition, applicants must have been enrolled in an accredited four-year college in the past year and must be a junior or senior with 85 units toward a bachelor’s degree. The last chance to apply is Feb. 1. Those who are accepted receive a stipend of $4,000, 10 weeks’ worth of research between June

Students will also get the opportunity to do coursework, workshops, outreach and the opportunity to share their research with several other undergrads from across the states. Undergraduate Biology Research Program: The UBRP is similar to the Maximizing Access to Research Careers because both are geared toward medical fields. The UBRP, however, does not require students to be of a minority group. In the UBRP, students work as fulltime researchers over the summer, in a number of biology-related labs and groups around campus. The deadline for applications is Feb. 1. Students who do well in the program are eligible to return during the rest of the academic year. Multiple programs are available in the this program including the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Summer Research program, the Environmental Health Sciences Transformative Research Undergraduate Experience and the Native American Cancer Prevention Program.

‘Cats hold off USC, stay perfect in conference play BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—The Wildcats have found their groove over the past few weeks—it’s from behind the three-point line. Arizona came out firing and freshman Rawle Alkins connected on two early deep balls to give the Wildcats an early edge against USC. No. 14 Arizona improved to 17-2 (6-0 Pac-12) with a 73-66 victory over the USC Trojans. Freshman Lauri Markkanen led the way with 23 points and eight rebounds. The Trojans were able to find their footing after Alkins’ 3-point shots to keep the Wildcats from pulling away early. They struggled shooting from the field starting the contest 4-14 from the field and 0-5 from three-point range. The referees were letting the two teams battle each other, and it took until the 7:31 mark of the first half for the first free throw attempts of the game. Arizona attempted no free throws in the first half. Arizona head coach Sean Miller called the Wildcats’ ability to get to the free throw line “key” in the second half. “Overall, we were tentative against their zone,” Miller said. “In the first half, we were tentative about throwing the ball in the low post, and we didn’t offensively rebound as well as we would have liked, but that picked up in the second half [and] ultimately put us at the line.” Arizona’s defense took advantage and held the Trojans to 26 percent (8-31) from the field in the first half. The Trojans went 1-10 from 3-point land, and it allowed the Wildcats to gradually build their halftime lead. The Wildcats opened the second half on a 7-0 run that was capped off by a Kadeem Allen 3-point field goal. The quick start forced USC head coach Andy Enfield to burn an early timeout in the first two minutes of the half. The Wildcat’s clearly looked to be more aggressive inside and get to the foul line early. At the 15:50 mark of the second half they had already gotten to

the stripe four times. They would end up attempting 22 free throws in the second half. The Trojans simply could not find consistency on offense. Their struggles carried into the second half, and turnovers became an issue. Arizona was able to stretch their lead out to as much 23 points thanks to an efficient second half from beyond the arc. USC would go down swinging, however. After junior Dusan Ristic missed a pair of free throws with 10 minutes to go, the Trojans connected on two straight deep balls and went on a 22-8 run.
They were able to get it as close as 3 points with 1:03 to go, but it would prove to be too little too late. Arizona has struggled all season closing teams out in the second half, and Miller emphasized that the issue with the comebacks has to do with effort. “I think we need to keep playing hard the whole 20 minutes of the second half, that’s the key,” Ristic said. “Play hard until the end of the game.” Arizona’s young core has struggled with letting opponents back in to ball games this season, but it was a freshman who helped seal the Wildcats’ victory. With under a minute to play,
Markkanen found himself with the ball at the top of the key with six seconds left on the shot clock. He pulled up for a contested 3-point bomb that found the bottom of the net, putting the dagger in the Trojans. “Lauri is a terrific player,” Miller said. “He really sealed it for us with that off-balance bank shot in the closing minute. It was a great shot, and we are lucky it went in for us.” Next up for the Wildcats is a matchup with the UCLA Bruins. They head to Pauley Pavilion on Saturday for a 1 p.m. MST tip-off with the Bruins. The game will be aired on CBS.

News on Allonzo Trier’s failed drug test hardly a surprise BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
When the season began for the Arizona Wildcats on Nov. 1, during their exhibition against the College of Idaho, Arizona fans’ worst fears became a reality. Sophomore guard Allonzo Trier didn’t suit up for the Wildcats and the rumors that had been swirling all around Tucson, were apparently the truth. Rumblings that the sophomore star would be unavailable for Arizona at the beginning of the season began swirling around in midOctober, and Arizona fans began to worry. He participated in the Red/Blue game but missed Arizona’s two exhibition matchups and did not travel with the team for their opening game in Honolulu against the Michigan State Spartans. Since then, there have been a myriad of press conferences beginning with the nowfamiliar words from the program “we still cannot comment on Allonzo Trier’s status” along with many false reports regarding his eligibility this season. If you were one of the many Tucsonans to hear rumors surrounding Trier, you’ve been hearing them for three months now. If you hadn’t heard any rumors, you probably weren’t listening. Finally, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman broke news yesterday that Trier sat out the Wildcats’ first 18 games this season due to a failed drug test. Goodman’s revelation is just a piece of the puzzle, as the situation is ongoing. Trier failed the test sometime in September, according to ESPN’s sources, and the basketball program
was notified in early October. The program then filed an appeal that lasted for nearly a month until Trier was cleared by the NCAA to travel and practice. The NCAA added that he would be cleared to play contingent on the drug he tested positive for being completely out of his system. Per the NCAA rules, there is a HUGE difference between failing a test for a performance-enhancing drug and an anabolic steroid. Don’t assume that what Trier has in his system is HGH or some other drug you would typically hear about in baseball. A performance-enhancing drug can range from a supplement for pain relief to a substance as accessible as Adderall. The timing of the announcement is anomalous. The program has been mum for three months and decided to reveal the information on the night before the biggest two-game stretch of the Wildcats’ season. The news confirmed the worst-kept secret in Tucson, and many are questioning why this tidbit of information was not revealed earlier. The program will say it’s due to student privacy issues, but if the NCAA cleared Trier in November, why not announce it then? It seems like the program is controlling the message for the second consecutive year. After last year’s Elliot Pitts debacle, the program didn’t improve in the damage control department regarding this situation. Keeping the fans and the media in the dark only propagates rumors and continues to overshadow the players who are actually playing on the court. Trier released a statement following the reports by ESPN yesterday stating that he unknowingly took the substance. Well, we certainly didn’t learn anything about the substance stuck in Trier’s body or why he is having trouble flushing it form his system. So what did we learn?

RAWLE ALKINS 1 PUSHES the ball up the court against USC on Thursday, Jan. 19. The Wildcats won 73-66.
Rawle Alkins’ polished game crucial for ‘Cats in crunch BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—How did No. 14 Arizona open up the game against USC Thursday after the Trojans jumped out to a 2-0 lead? Simple. With a Rawle Alkins block and back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Wildcats a 6-2 lead that they held on to the rest of the game. One lead change was all Arizona needed to take over from that point, and that’s all thanks to the tone set by Alkins, which normally is set by Dusan Ristic. If Ristic had to pick one word to describe Alkins, it’s energy. “No matter if he makes threes or not, he always gives 100 percent energy,” Ristic said. “On the glass, defending the ball—he’s a really tough guy and I’m really glad he’s my teammate.” The recent trends are Parker JacksonCartwright’s ability to facilitate, Ristic’s presence in the paint, Kadeem Allen’s leadership and Lauri Markkanen’s polished all-around game. Even with the other young players like Markkanen, Alkins and Kobi Simmons, the instinct is to automatically install Markkanen as the leader. The argument is valid considering he’s scored 53 points combined in the past two games, including a clutch three-pointer with under a minute to play to fend off USC. Although Markkanen is an NBA Draft lottery pick, the player that is starting to get over the hill in terms of production and what he brings to the Wildcats is Alkins. Head coach Sean Miller said Arizona’s success is all due to the product Alkins puts on the court every game. “We wouldn’t be 17-2 without him,” Miller said. “[Markkanen, Alkins and Kobi] are almost
not allowed to be freshmen. You have to treat as if they’re a senior, because their role they have on this team is of that.” Just looking at Alkins’ 6-foot-5, 220 lb frame, some would compare him to former Wildcat and Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson, but even he doesn’t compare to Alkins. Johnson played with arguably Miller’s best team and showed freshman characteristics while a player like Alkins’ late in games shows traits of a veteran. Plus Johnson never molded into the main option for Miller until February. Johnson only played 14 of 37 games with more than 30 minutes during the 2015 season, while Alkins is averaging 30 minutes this season and played 13 games with more than that—it’s only January folks. Alkins is a bruiser and he can consume minutes like that, but he’s also hurt teams in multiple ways throughout the year. From early November to the beginning of December, Alkins went seven consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer. Then of course every now and then Alkins isn’t scoring, but he is making up for it with his energy and hustle in other aspects. Against ASU back-to-back alley oop dunks set a spark, as well as his ability to get hands in the lane. “Personally, I’m just doing whatever it takes to win,” Alins said. “There’s nights where I’m scoring the ball a lot and doing really well on offense, and there’s some nights where if I’m not scoring the ball on offense, I’m doing other things like rebounding. I just try to be an allaround player and not one-dimensional.” Alkins is a Swiss army knife of a player, and as the Wildcats prepare for No. 3 UCLA, his role will have to elevate to new heights.

Q&A 23 years as Dillinger: Jonathan Mincks brings infamous gangster alive
BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro
As for my craziest stunt, you don’t get much crazier than doing a 25-foot-high fall for six months twice a day at minimum wage at a stunt. This was at a theme park, and I was the only person who could do it, so that is my craziest stunt.
Dillinger Days, an annual event that marks the capture of John Dillinger in Tucson, hits Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson this weekend. Jonathan Mincks, also known as Johnny Hotshot, Mad Mincks and a list of other names, will be starring in the event’s re-enactments as Dillinger, a role he has played for 23 years. He sat down with the Daily Wildcat and discussed his career and what has helped him make it this far.
DW: When you are not acting, what do you do for fun? JM: I teach. Well, for fun, I do a lot of different jobs. I teach a desert survival and backpacking specialist class and teach at the Arizona Hiking Shack. I teach AHS hikes and educational hikes and lead education hikes and I like getting out into the wild. And I am pretty much a gear nut, so I like playing with gear and modifying gear and equipment. That is not a good answer! For fun what do I do? Games baby!
Daily Wildcat: How did you get into acting? Jonathan Mincks: I started performing on the street when I was 10 years old, performing magic on the street. I was taught by a guy named Peter Rabbit, a magician. I started performing professionally on Fourth Avenue in front of an old bar from way back in the day called Cho Chos, later called the Night Train. I started performing magic, and I knew when I was making people laugh and they were giving me money. I figured out then what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life.

when I came up from my kneeling position and asked, “Do I get the part?” the stuntman said, “Just get back in line, hotshot.” DW: Do you have any favorite actors who you look up to? JM: I tend to like Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Lon Chaney, Bruce Lee, Robert Conrad and Barney Rubble. Lon Chaney has an incredible way to project emotion and feeling and to basically be unrecognizable from role to role. Douglas Fairbanks just uses his abilities to make everything thrilling and fun. Bruce Lee is dedication and perfectionism, not just in acting but in stunt fights and detail. And Barney Rubble, because who can beat Barney Rubble? DW: You are also a stuntman. Have you ever gotten injured doing a stunt? JM: There have been some bumps and bruises along the way but nothing too drastic that I would take back, I think. Injuries during stunts are only because you work up to it or practice enough to make it safe or you went too fast. Ninety percent of the time, it is the actual stuntman’s fault.
DW: When you are rehearsing or acting, what is your mindset? Are you more focused or laidback, or how do you attack roles? JM: I find that every role is different and requires different things. Sometimes it may be a simple physical thing that just clicks at some point, where a simple physical thing makes that character work. Sometimes I have to go much deeper into creating and studying that character, and it might be a play or a film script. You have to make sure you are in tune with the director so you are going in the right direction. But beyond that, it is study and you have to figure out that character. There is how they were raised, where they were raised. People walk differently when they were raised in different places. You put somebody from Tucson and somebody from Minnesota in a field and tell them to run in bare feet, and they are going to run different. That person from Tucson is going to be looking for stickers everywhere. It is just little things that change everything about us. Those are environmental things, those are social things, to make a character different ... When I was 5 years old, I was playing Spider-Man in my backyard and I was shooting webs and punching the Green Goblin. What I do today is the same thing; I am still playing Spider-Man but there is an audience. Nobody has to know what is going on but me. I made my career out of letting my audience know what was happening and that is the difference.

Hotel Congress celebrates Dillinger Days BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
Dillinger Days weekend has arrived. For two days, Hotel Congress transports itself back in time to mark the Tucson Fire Department and Tucson Police Department’s capture of John Dillinger, a gangster and thief in the 1930s. All of the events are centered around the time period of Dillinger’s capture in Tucson, starting Friday, Jan. 20, with the Dillinger Speakeasy, a 1930s-style experience complete with whiskey tasting and live music. Saturday, Jan. 21, the schedule is packed with historic walking tours and re-enactments of the capture of Dillinger. The history of Hotel Congress, which has hosted the event for 28 years now, intersects with that of Dillinger. The notorious figure and his gang were caught in Tucson after staying at Hotel Congress under aliases. On the night of Jan. 22, 1934, a fire broke out in the hotel’s basement and spread to the third floor, where
Dillinger was staying. Dillinger and his gang requested that the firefighters who came to the hotel retrieve their luggage, and the firefighters did so. The firefighters later recognized Dillinger and his gang in True Detective Magazine, resulting in the capture of the men later at a house on North Second Avenue. Now, 83 years later, Hotel Congress still celebrates Tucson’s role in Dillinger’s arrest. “It represents a part of our history and culture around the Tucson Police Department and Tucson Fire Department and the fact that they actually captured John Dillinger, which was tried in vain by the FBI and federal government for quite a few years,” said Todd Hanley, general manager of Hotel Congress. Hanley said the event is about celebrating the Tucson fire and police departments. Part of that celebration includes giving a portion of the Dillinger Days’ proceeds to the Greater Tucson Fire Foundation, a foundation that promotes the health and wellness of firefighters. The foundation and Hotel
Congress have been working together for five years, said Mike McKendrick, chairman for Greater Tucson Fire Foundation. During the Dillinger Days events, the Fire Foundation’s restored 1923 American LaFrance fire truck, which was at the 1934 Hotel Congress fire, will be on display, McKendrick said. As much as the event celebrates history, it also embraces the technology of the future. While the re-enactments of Dillinger’s capture don’t change much from year to year, this year, the way people watch them might be different. Hanley said the reenactments will stream live on Hotel Congress’s website this weekend, so people who are not at the event can still experience the shows.
From morning to late afternoon, Hotel Congress is offering a packed schedule of family-friendly activities. The day starts off with carnival games and arts and crafts activities, concluding with the opening of local artist Danny Martin’s Dillinger Days Art in the lobby. Throughout the day, there will be three Dillinger re-enactments, two historic walking tours, a variety of talks and live music. The events are free, but front-row seats for the Dillinger re-enactments cost $30 each and include a nonalcoholic drink, a brunch entrée and a 2017 Dillinger Days gift.

throughout the Tucson community,” Barroero said. “It is essential for all serious music students to pursue performance opportunities outside of their immediate network.” On April 6, Barroero will be performing a solo percussion recital at the Bloom Music Center at the St. Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church. He will be displaying his instrumental range as a percussionist by performing works for solo marimba, multipercussion, electronics and snare drum. Barroero was first invited to be a part of the UA Musicians on Tour program in the summer of 2016. Gibson reached out to Barroero and extended the invitation to join the prestigious traveling musicians program. In his efforts to participate in as many public performances as possible during his last year as a UA student, Barroero said he
believed joining the program would help him achieve this goal. “The program has also fervently supported my personal performance endeavors,” Barroero said. In just the last few months, Barroero has performed in Russia with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra and in Athens, Georgia, as part of the trio “Lineage Percussion.” While these performances were not facilitated by the UA Musicians on Tour program, Barroero said the program was in full support of his travels. UA Musicians on Tour will be featuring undergraduate and graduate solo pianists at their next concert at the Green Valley Recreation Center on Feb. 5. The concert begins at 2 p.m. and tickets are available at the door.
