Paloma Beamer: Presidentelect, International Society of Exposure Science BY ZACHARY OGDEN @PurplaPanda
Paloma Beamer is an associate professor of environmental health sciences at the University of Arizona and was recently named presidentelect of the International Society of Exposure Science. She is also an environmental engineer by training and received her Bachelor of Science from the University of California-Berkeley and her Master of Science and Ph.D. from Stanford University. She will become the president of the International Society of Exposure Science Jan. 1. Daily Wildcat: How did you first become interested in your field? Paloma Beamer: I got interested as a child because I used to go back and forth between my grandmother’s house in Mexico and my parent’s house in the U.S. I saw a lot of difference in environmental contamination. And then, when I moved to Chile to study abroad, I got to see firsthand really bad pollution. I was exposed there. I was living in a city where there was very high air pollution. And because I was already going to school to be an environmental
engineer, it got me really interested in trying to understand. As an environmental engineer, I was getting frustrated at understanding if the things that we were designing are actually inspecting the problem and if we had figured out how contaminants are getting sourced to the person and why certain people are exposed to higher levels versus others. So that got me more interested in actually trying to make out how people are so contaminated, so that we can design better interventions. DW: What do you think made you an attractive candidate, and ultimately president, of the International Society of Exposure and Science? PB: I think that people connected with my passion for the field. In the overall field of environmental health, exposure science has traditionally been under-funded and underacknowledged and the area that has the most uncertainty. When you look at research for environmental laws and policies, there is nothing. I think in my vision statement, I kind of address my desire to elevate that and also to increase the international membership.
COURTESY GERRI KELLY

DW: What do you think is your best work experience doing what you do? PB: Well, I think part of what made running for the position worth it was actually the support I got from my students. They were super excited. I think that was ultimately what motivated me to run for the presidency, because it was about bringing bigger recognition to our program here at the UA.
DW: What do you hope for in the future? PB: My hope is that we will expand our international membership, particularly reaching developing countries. To continue advocating for increased funding for Exposure Science and make sure people know that it is important to understand how people are exposed.

STUDENT OPPORTUNTIES
UA undergrad makes pitch to Congress As part of a research and development team neuroscience and cognitive science senior Lindsey Chew will head to the nation’s capitol to promote better relationships between politicians and scientists BY RANDALL ECK @Reck999
Lindsey Chew, a University of Arizona neuroscience and cognitive science senior and a 2014 Flinn Foundation Scholar recipient, will represent the state of Arizona at the 22nd annual Posters on the Hill in Washington D.C. The event, hosted by the Council on Undergraduate Research, aims to connect politicians with undergraduate scientific researchers and their work. Chew works in the lab of Rajesh Khanna, a professor of pharmacology and neuroscience in the College of Medicine-Tucson. Chew’s research has focused on furthering the broad goal of the whole lab — to create non-opioid related pain treatments. “The opioid epidemic and the national chronic pain problem have become pressing health matters for the U.S. and the global community,” Chew said. Last year, for example, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey declared a statewide health emergency due to the rapid increase in the number of opioid deaths in the state. Sodium channels are critical to the body’s painsensing pathways. In the past, researchers have attempted to shut them off by hammering in molecules to block them. The Khanna lab takes a different approach. “Our lab has been targeting non-opioid based mechanisms in order to find non-addictive, but highly effective, new clinical solutions to chronic pain,” Chew said. The lab tries to prevent the interaction of a critical targeting protein and the calcium channels. By inhibiting this interaction, sodium channels are removed and the pain pathway dampened. So far in rat models, no addictive properties or adverse learning and memory side effects have been attributed to this treatment. Chew has also studied the effect of a natural compound from desert lavender on specific calcium channels, and how this could relate to the pain pathway. This science could one day provide a critical alternative to opioid pain relievers. During Chew’s time in the lab, Khanna, his wife May Khanna, assistant professor of pharmacology and a member of the Center for Innovation and Brain Science and Vijay Gokhale, a senior research scientist at the BIO5 Institute, teamed up to found Regulonix, a company that promotes and funds further clinical research. “It has been an incredible opportunity to work in the Khanna lab and to see many different sides of science from the grant writing process, to the foundation of Regulonix,” Chew said. According to Chew, her experiences in the Undergraduate Biology Research Program as well as her minors in Spanish and business administration all complemented her pursuit of scientific research.

PHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE PROFESSOR Rajesh Khanna, left, poses with neuroscience and cognitive science senior Lindsey Chew. The duo will head to Washington, D.C. for the Posters on the Hill summit between congressmembers and scientists from across the country.
When at Posters on the Hill, Chew and Khanna will be showing off another important side of that research. “There is a perception that scientists and politicians make strange bedfellows,” Khanna said. “In order to get anything achieved, scientists and politicians cannot be simply divorced from each other. They must work together to understand, manage and improve our lives.” The opioid crisis and, to a smaller extent, Posters on the Hill, offers politicians and scientists an opportunity to start a dialogue and cooperate on issues that could help the lives of millions. According to Chew, much of the value of science lies in the ability of scientists to communicate the importance of their research to the general public. Chew will be working with Office of Federal Relations to do just that. She will be inviting Arizona politicians to her poster presentation on Capitol Hill and discussing her research, the importance of science, and her experiences as an undergraduate with them.
After her trip to Washington D.C. in April, Chew will be headed off to Duke University to complete a dual M.D.-PhD program. During her time in Tucson, Chew volunteered and helped train guide dogs for the local visually impaired community, partnering with Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind down the road from the UA. “Volunteering, I found such a vibrant community of diverse people that came together and really cared about the puppies and each other as well as raising dogs who have a greater purpose,” Chew said. Inspired by her experiences, Chew plans to peruse clinical research in ophthalmology, studying diseases of the eye, and build upon the clinical experiences and interaction with doctors she enjoyed while working in the Khanna lab. Chew will be missed at the UA. “Lindsey is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of student, in a league of her own so to speak,” Khanna said. “I am just privileged and honored that this amazingly talented Flinn student selected my lab to pursue her journey into science.”

OPINION
Teachers look to West Virginia after effective strike currently has the third highest ratio of students to teachers and is predicted to be the highest in the country in the near future, a sign of students not being prioritized by the state government. The events in West Virginia might be particularly rough for Arizona teachers to watch; West Virginia is No. 48 in the country for paying teachers, while Arizona is No. 49. The Arizona State House has, in the past, been more likely to support small-scale, low-budget attempts to answer the complaints of teachers. This includes House Bill 2377, which will supply teachers with a $150 tax credit to go toward purchasing school supplies. However, they have been much less interested in addressing the more hard-hitting concerns being raised. As of today, teachers are only granted a 1-percent raise every year to help combat price inflation. The 5 percent promised to West Virginian teachers, however, has inspired a push for education reform and prioritization nationwide. As a matter of fact, the explosion in support for “Red for Ed,” the movement in favor of increasing funding for education and supporting similar movements across the United States, has even caught labor leaders by surprise. “I’ve not see this many teachers this frustrated since I’ve been in Arizona,”said Arizona Education Association President Joe Thomas. But the calls for a strike have not yet come. Thomas followed that quote by avoiding calling on such a direct action, and other grassroots organizations are instead focusing more on raising awareness and opposing specific measures, such as Save Our Schools Arizona, which the Phoenix New Times reported is currently fighting an attempt to transform state-funded public
COLUMNIST ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
F
or nine days, teachers in West Virginia participated in a mass walkout. They were striking against low pay, austere budgets and a state government unwilling to invest in education. After a week and a half of negotiations, the teachers returned to their posts in exchange for a 5-percent pay increase, a surprising victory for the teachers’ union. It seems West Virginia is not the only state up in arms over poor investments in public schools, with Oklahoman teachers outraged when an attempt to give them a higher salary was defeated in the Oklahoma State House. Even Arizona watched the events in West Virginia with bated breath, with Vox reporting, “Thousands of teachers in Arizona showed up to school Wednesday wearing red.” It was a symbol of solidarity with the strike on the other side of the nation. And if we look at the facts, Arizona teachers have lots of reasons to empathize with their West Virginian colleagues. In 2015, the Washington Post listed states in order of funding for education. Third to last was Arizona, with only $7,208 in per-pupil spending, lower than both West Virginia ($11,132) and Oklahoma ($7,672). Even worse for the state, Arizona
schools toward a voucher system. But any optimism from West Virginia will need to be tempered by how different the two states are. While West Virginia has a population of 1.8 million people, Arizona is more than triple that, with around 7 million. A larger population means it’s more difficult to connect the many teachers across the state. That also means it would be easier to replace teachers who strike, should it not be enough to force the state government to capitulate. Part of West Virginia’s success was the smaller-scale nature of the strikes, as there are only 57 school districts statewide, compared to the over 200 in Arizona. As both states are right-to-work states, a term used to differentiate between states with compulsory union membership and those without it, the power of unions is particularly clipped. In order for Arizona teachers to make a difference, they have to strike in unison or risk losing not only their chance at increasing funding for education, but also their jobs. If a compromise can be reached between the teachers’ union and the state government that will prioritize our students and finally remove Arizona’s name from the bottom of the education rankings, then a strike will not be necessary. Our students will not have to miss out on valuable class time, and our state representatives can prove their dedication to rising to the challenge of education reform. — Alec Scott is a sophomore studying political science and German studies who volunteered for the Ron Barber 2014 Congressional Campaign.

Spiritual healing in the desert Shamanic services, energy medicine and psychic readings are a few alterantive health opportunities in town. Tucson offers a variety of options for those seeking spiritual healings BY SARAH WORKMAN @DailyWildcat
The desert has been regarded as a place of spiritual healing for centuries; the dry climate, natural springs, cavernous valleys and immense mountains attract yoga gurus, landscape worshipers and meditation experts alike. Tucson is an ideal destination for those looking to explore spiritual healing opportunities, including shamanic, energy, reiki, crystal and more. The city is located in the southern part of the state and rests in the middle of one of the most prominent vortices in North America, according to an article on Sage Goddess Online. Tucson offers different places to go when seeking spiritual healing in the desert based off variety and services. Shamanic healing is one of the “alternative healing” options in Tucson. Heartstone Healing Arts: Shamanic Healing and Energy Medicine provides a multitude of spiritual healing services. Owner Celia Blackwood has been practicing reiki healing and shamanism for over a decade. Blackwood offers a variety of shamanic services, such as the illumination process, extraction, soul retrieval, power animal retrieval and psychopomp. She also offers services in property clearing, reiki and flower essences. The fundamental element in all of Blackwood’s services is energy. She said every person has an energetic field that can be hindered by negative experiences. “Energy is really all about frequency and vibration, and when we are carrying or holding or experiencing really intense heavy, dense energies like grief or sadness or anger or worry or anxiety, the frequency and the vibrations of those energies are dense and low enough to get lodged in our system and become crystallized,” Blackwood said. “It begins to feel like a hole that you can’t get out of.” Blackwood’s cleansing services are targeted toward removing these heavy, crystallized energies from a person’s energetic field in order to liberate the individual from these negative sentiments. Blackwood said the majority of her customers are often dealing with a difficult transition in their life, such as disease, loss of a loved one or the end of a relationship. During some of her healing services, Blackwood uses the positive energies of different natural elements, including crystals. Tucson hosts one of the world’s most prominent gem and mineral shows, which began in 1955 as a simple presentation by a small group of geologists, according to Visit Tucson. The event attracts visitors from across the globe, including many alternative and spiritual healers shopping for crystals and minerals for their collections. Tom Spann, a gemologist from Mineral Masterpiece, was one of the many vendors at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. In his experience, Spann said, the customers interested in the metaphysical properties mostly purchase gems, rather than minerals.
“If you look at the literature of things that were preserved from 1,000 years ago, it almost exclusively would be talking about the gems and people wearing them as protection or for health,” Spann said. Spann carries a variety of gems and minerals, including quartz, aquamarine, calcite and the one of the world’s largest turquoise formations. Spann recalls one specific incident when a spiritual healer came in with her own crystal and carefully hovered it above the specimens she was interested in before choosing. According to Spann, spiritual healers often use these pendulum crystals to gain insight into certain situations and decisions by asking it yes or no questions and seeing which way it begins to spin. The crystal works differently with every person. Usually, when it swings in a circle clockwise or counter clockwise, it means yes, and when it swings back and forth, it usually indicates no. Although Spann himself is not interested in the metaphysical properties of the gems he carries, he said some of his best customers have purchased stones for spiritual purposes. Felice DiAnna, another spiritual healer, has been a spiritual healer for over six years. Unlike Blackwood, DiAnna focuses on healing directly between people, without the assistance of crystals or other metaphysical mediums. DiAnna works out of her office located on the east side of Tucson and offers three different types of healing services: reiki, reflexology and massage therapy. Reiki is a type of energetic healing originally from Japan. The process involves a practitioner guiding a customer’s energetic flow to remove negative energy and reduce stress. In comparison, reflexology is one of DiAnna’s more hands-on approaches in which she applies pressure to specific points of a customer’s feet and hands to promote relaxation and healing. DiAnna prefers not to incorporate any inanimate objects into her healing sessions because she believes energy must be transferred from the hand of the healer directly to the customer. All her services are aimed at reducing stress and pain, as well as promoting well being through prayer and positive energy transference. If energy healing is not what you’re looking for, there are also psychic services available in Tucson, including astrology insights, spiritual life coaching and Tarot readings. David Pujol is a junior at the University of Arizona and is studying journalism. Pujol has been practicing alternative healing for over six years. He offers services from crystal healing to tarot cards and psychic readings. Regardless of the type of service, he believes alternative healing has abilities medical healing does not. “I think more people should indulge and explore alternative healing, even if it’s just for something as simple as a headache,” Pujol said. “It helps you heal on a level that most people haven’t really connected with.” Pujol does not have a formal studio; instead he brings his cards and crystals to classes and offers readings to those interested. He does most of his readings at the UA School of Journalism and charges anywhere from $1 to $5 per service. Whether you are a yoga guru, landscape worshiper, meditation expert or simply a visitor looking for a new activity to try, Tucson’s metaphysical world has what you’re seeking.

SCIENCE & RESEARCH
Study sheds light on female-female work dynamics BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @NessaMagnifique
With the national spotlight firmly pointed on the harassment female employees endure in the workplace, a new study reveals that women report a higher level of workplace incivility from other women than from men. The study, entitled “Further Understanding Incivility in the Workplace: The Effects of Gender, Agency, and Communion,” looks closer at the phenomena of women in highstatus jobs discriminating against their female coworkers, also known as “Queen Bee Syndrome.” “We found consistently that women, across the three studies, said that they had more mistreatment from other women than men,” said Allison Gabriel, an assistant professor of management and organizations at the Eller College of Management and one of the co-authors of the study. Gabriel and her co-authors, Marcus Butts from Southern Methodist University, Zhenyu Yuan of the University of Iowa, Rebecca Rosen of Indiana University and Michael Sliter of FurstPerson Consulting, were interested in studying the common incivilities experienced in the day-today lives of employees. “I always had a very strong, negative reaction to incivility, even things as simple as people not saying ‘thank you,’ and wondered if other people experienced the same thing,” Sliter said. The project consisted of three separate studies during which the researchers would administer surveys to employees working in a variety of

female colleagues, as well as report how frequent instances were. The researchers then compared the ratings. Across the three studies a common theme emerged: women reported more incivility from their female coworkers than from their male coworkers. Male employers reported no significant difference in incivility from either gender. The researchers also found that women who acted outside of
In the first study, 422 people were surveyed, with 75 percent of the participants being female. The second study consisted of 608 people, 65 percent of them female. The third study had 410 participants, 53 percent of them female. The first two studies were funded by Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis and the Eller College of Management funded the final study. “I feel like Eller, in particular, has been so supportive of women in the workplace,” Gabriel said. “I feel pretty fortunate that a lot of my research CO-AUTHOR I’ve gotten interested in because it was something I’ve directly experienced … in this case this evolved more out of an interest I was hearing about it in the popular press.” Eller takes specific steps to encourage civility in the workplace. Undergraduate students complete a core management course, taught by Gabriel, that prepares students to enter the workplace.

fields in the United States. In the first study, they gave only one survey. In the second and third studies they gave two surveys, with a period of a few weeks in between, to see if the reported feelings remained consistent over time. The employees were asked to compare and rate their experience with incivility between their male and
traditional female gender norms, and also acted more assertive and dominant, were more likely to be mistreated by their female coworkers. Conversely, men who deviated from gender expectations and acted more warm, gentle and helpful reported lower levels of workplace incivility. “We were pretty shocked by that finding,” Gabriel said.
Eller also works to lessen the gap between male and female faculty members. “Women in business schools have long been underrepresented,” said Amy Schmitz, assistant dean for Eller’s marketing and communications. “Dean [Paulo] Goes … recognized that this was going to be a crucial thing to focus on, and so really did make an effort to make sure we were recruiting female faculty after they came out of their Ph.D. programs.” The study will be published in the upcoming issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology. Corporations might use these findings to improve their workplace environments. According to Gabriel, workplace incivility leads to lower rates of job satisfaction and decreased performance, as well as an increased likelihood of quitting. Between the lost revenue from decreased performance and the costs of replacing lost employees, Gabriel said workplace incivility can cost corporations an estimated $14,000 per employee. “I think what all of this is signaling is that we just need to be comfortable having very open dialogues about our experiences in the workplace,” Gabriel said.

TECH LECTURES
Local teachers get crash course on tech of future BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
While the final preparations were being made in Centennial Hall for the last lecture in University of Arizona College of Science’s “Humans, Data and Machines” lecture series, a group of local teachers gathered in a nearby classroom to discuss what they learned from the series’ speakers and how to apply it in their own classrooms. These teachers, representing Tucson schools at every level, were led in their class discussions by John Pollard, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry and the interim assistant dean for Academic Affairs at the Honors College. Pollard’s course offered teachers an opportunity to interact firsthand with each speaker during a private Q&A after the talk and also share ideas on how to bring this science back into their classrooms. For Tucson High Magnet School teacher Margaret Wilch, this was not her first lecture series course. She’s been coming since 2006. “I think this year’s course and lecture series has been a fabulous opportunity for our area of teachers to rejuvenate and get their geek on by exploring new ideas and challenging their thinking,” Wilch said. The last lecture in the series married ideas about “big data” and its impact on education — a perfect topic to end the course on. The lecture was given by Vincent J. Del Casino Jr., vice president of Academic Initiatives and Student Success and professor of geography and development. The lecture was his second time speaking at the annual series. Del Casino warned the audience big data cannot solve all social problems. Before the lecture, Pollard’s class found an apt example: While a machine may be able to predict the probability of a successful surgery based on millions of individuals’ experiences, interacting and discussing with a human doctor is still a reasonable expectation for a patient.

JANE BAMBAUER PRESENTS IN Centennial Hall on Feb. 19. Bambauer discussed the ethics behind artificial intelligence and algorithimic decision-making.
Working with machines provides the best of both worlds. Today, our phones and institutions collect thousands of data points. But what are they to do with all of this? Del Casino, who helped jump-start UA Online, wants to create students with interdisciplinary skills to succeed in this emerging complex, multifaceted, machinebased world. “A history major with a little bit of coding and digital marketing is going to do great out in the world, because they have the intellectual flexibility to do the creative analytic work of a historian and they have these other skills that they have built,” Del Casino said. Pollard took a different frame of reference when reflecting on the lecture series. “This lecture series made me realize, at least in learning science and social science, we are entering an era where big data and the intelligent processing of big data is going to have to become an integral part of
our education,” Pollard said. For example, at UA, researchers like fellow lecture speaker Mihai Surdeanu, an associate professor of computer science, are applying artificial intelligence to reading scientific papers for humans and outperforming human capability on a number of other tasks. Jane Bambauer, professor of law at the James E. Rogers College of Law, spent her lecture examining the still-unanswered but pressing question of how machine learning algorithms are going to figure out morality. How will we interact with data and machines in the future? These are profound questions. Yet in the classrooms of Tucson, just as coding is now considered critical, soon so will the statistical analysis and application of big data sets and machine learning systems, Pollard said. Already, students as early as high school can collect thousands of data points of atmospheric or health data using just their
cell phones, and they can interact with machine learning every day. According to Pollard, new pressures and demands on teachers is not something UA can ignore. “We, as an institution of higher education, have to be leaders in helping to support the teachers who are sending students to us, as well as be aware of the changing climate of how we interact with data and think about that with our students,” Pollard said. For Del Casino, the luxury of university life is being able to sit around and think about big questions and problems. To him, it offers the safety to make mistakes in the search for a solution. For UA, that means pursuing research to create machines to solve problems and thinking about their implications. It also means reaching out the community. “People still come to universities when they want an answer to a big question,” Del Casino said. That gives universities a big responsibility to reach out, inform and excite discussion in the broader community. The UA College of Science’s lecture series does just that. Pollard’s part of that outreach is providing local teachers an environment to reconnect with their passion for learning. “Having time to learn for the sake of learning is really valuable,” Pollard said. At times, you have to follow the airliner’s rules and place the oxygen mask on yourself first, Pollard said. “Sometimes, our teachers have to be invigorated by gaining knowledge so they are inspired to go back and integrate some of this content into the classrooms,” Pollard said. For Wilch, the connections she has formed over the years through the course, and the tremendous amount she has learned, filters down to her students in her biotechnology courses. “This year’s lecture series surpassed my expectations,” Wilch said.

MEN’S TENNIS
Alejandro Reguant leading the pack BY DAVID SKINNER @daveyskins_
Alexander the Great once said “I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.” Sophomore Alejandro Reguant is that latter lion. The co-captain of the Arizona men’s tennis team has helped lead the Wildcats to an overall 8-4 record so far, knocking off an undefeated Nebraska team to wrap up a perfect homestand this past weekend — while also staying undefeated in singles play, extending his unbeaten run to eight matches. The sweep of NAU and Nebraska came at a crucial point in Arizona’s season, as they were coming off two straight weekends of trips to Indiana and Iowa, which saw the Wildcats take off from Tucson with a 5-1 record, and return with a record of 6-4. Through the turbulent and revealing two weeks, Reguant never even thought about panicking. “Even though we lost, there are still a lot of positives that we can take away from those two weekends. They were two tough places to play, because it’s just completely different than what we have been training here in Tucson,” Reguant said. “We went to Indiana and Iowa, which are both cold places, and so we had to play indoors. The courts are pretty quick, and the ball doesn’t bounce too much, which is completely different than here, where its hot and the ball bounces a lot higher off the court. I would say it was hard to adapt to the PHOTOS BY STAN LIU | ARIZONA ATHLETICS SOPHOMORE ALEJANDRO REGUANT DURING the Wildcats’ 4-3 win over the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center, Tucson, Ariz. on March 6. different courts, but the overall team effort was good.” Despite coming up short both passion into leadership. make a positive impact in the people nuances that make up the lead role weekends, Reguant and the Wildcats isn’t lost on the Barcelona, Spain “I don’t feel any pressure for myself, around you.

part of being captain I would say.” Reguant appreciates being team captain and enjoys what the role entails. “I like being a captain because I love the team environment, and I love being on the same page as my teammates, but it’s not that hard here because everyone is so goal oriented that I don’t have to worry about that,” Reguant said. As the Arizona men’s tennis team continues to build a contagious culture fueled by youthful energy in the team, the maturity that comes with time and experience will only solidify the foundation currently being set. Even as a sophomore, while still adjusting to life in a brand new country, Reguant has emerged as one of the cornerstones that this young team is built upon. While Reguant settles in to his second season of college tennis, he is looking to pass the lessons he learned his freshman year on to the four other freshman on the team; how to find their feet in a competition that they are not used to — and for three of the freshman, how to adapt to a country that they just moved to months ago. “We are a lot more talented this year than we were last year, but since we have a lot of young guys they need to realize that college tennis is a completely different sport than junior tennis,” Reguant said. “College tennis is all about fighting, and who wants it more is going to win. So I think we need to develop this mindset of wanting it more than the other team, which we are on the right track to do that. As we play more and more the young guys will realize what it’s all about and we are going to do better once that happens.” As the lion-like leadership of Reguant continues to mold this team into its fullest potential, the herd of sheep that has followed him are turning into lions, by watching and listening to his every move. Before you know it, the Wildcats will be a pack of lions, and Reguant will be at the front, roaring for all to hear.

POLICE BEAT
BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @NessaMagnifique
The Tale of the Piñata Thief An Apache-Santa Cruz resident met with University of Arizona Police Department officers again on March 1 after an investigation into a previous incident led to the discovery of further scandals, including a stolen piñata. The Apache-Santa Cruz Community Director met with an officer to report that someone had stolen a megaphone and a multicolored bull-shaped piñata that he kept in his office for nostalgic reasons. He wished to report the stolen items and prosecute. The Community Director found the missing items after talking a student about a different report made against him involving vandalizing doors with vulgar messages written in pink highlighter. With the student’s permission, the officer entered his room to inspect it. On the student’s desk was a pink highlighter, the same color used to write on other residents’ doors. The student showed the officer some index cards and said “my handwriting is like a kindergartner.” The officer told him that the handwriting appeared to match the writing on the doors. The student denied writing on the doors.
He then speculated that someone had framed him, perhaps one of his fraternity brothers. When asked, the student refused to tell the officer which of his brothers it might be or what fraternity he is in as he did not want to “snitch.” The student was wearing a Theta Chi shirt. The officer then asked the student about the piñata and megaphone in the room, the items that the Community Director had reported as stolen. The officer advised him of his Miranda Rights and asked the student for further details. The student assumed they showed up last night but had no memory of it, and he did not know where the piñata came from. When pressed, the student said he brought someone back to his room. He then told the officer he did not want to discuss what they were doing if the officer “caught his drift.” The student insisted the megaphone was not stolen, but that it belonged to his fraternity. He told the officer he’d found it in one of the three garages the fraternity owns. A check of the megaphones at neighboring halls revealed that they were exact matches to the one found in the student’s room. The officer cited the student for theft. The student stated he understood the citation and signed it. The officer then released the student.

TRACK AND FIELD
WILLIAMS STRIVES FOR SPEED
BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKAllDay1
U
majesty Williams is less than a year removed from high school, but his performance on the track would make you think otherwise. The freshman sprinter from Scottsdale, Arizona has spent his first official indoor season setting
personal records and getting familiar with the extra turns around the track. Williams hasn’t allowed his inexperience to hold him back, instead he’s used his excitement to represent the Wildcats as a tool to keep running faster. Williams committed to the University of Arizona late in his senior year, but that didn’t prevent him from showing up on day one
prepared and ready to go. Perhaps he can attribute that readiness to the nonstop coaching that he receives from his toughest critic — his father. Williams says that his dad, who also ran track, has served as his mentor and impacted his performance in many ways. “He continuously pushes me, to the point where I feel like I’m dead, but then he shows me that I can keep

going.” Williams said. Williams admits that his dad is the hardest coach that he’s ever had, but that he appreciates the non-stop support. He knows that without it, he wouldn’t be where he is today. On Jan. 19 at the Larry Wieczorek Invitational, Williams posted a 21.88 in the 200-meter, a time that head coach Fred Harvey called great for a freshman. But for Williams it wasn’t fast enough, as he plans to run sub-21 this outdoor season — and the goals don’t end there. Williams doesn’t have trouble staying motivated. Continuing to strive for bigger things, Willams and fellow teammate Zakee Washington always push each other to succeed. “Zakee, who is typically my roommate when we travel, and I are always talking; we’re really trying to do something big here. We always push one another,” Williams said. While constantly being surrounded by competition and refining his craft, Williams spends his time thinking about all that he wants to accomplish as a Wildcat. “I’m after that freshman record in the 400-meter. I want to help my 4x4 relay team qualify for nationals, and I want to break 21 in the 200,” Williams said. “As long as my work ethic helps elevate the people around me, I’ll be happy with what I’ve accomplished.” For most freshman these would be career achievements, for Williams they’re more or less things on his todo list. The start of the outdoor season is quickly approaching, and Williams is looking forward to continue turning heads, but the freshman sprinter has one secret to his success. “I just go out there each time and try to go Super Saiyan on all my challengers, like nobody can stop me,” Williams said. Despite being a young freshman sprinter, there’s no denying that he’s having fun with it, and has still managed to lead by example and will continue to do so as his years as a Wildcat. He has burst onto the national radar, and his potential seems limitless. Now, Williams works to keep getting faster.

CAMPUS CLUB
Creating public relations professionals BY RYANE MURRAY @DailyWildcat
The Arizona Student Public Relations Society (ASPRS), which was established in spring 2017 at the University of Arizona, provides opportunities for students to gain real-world experience and skills in the public relations field. UA accommodates a wide variety of clubs and organizations, which provide small communities for students to identify with, as well as skill-building opportunities that help members land jobs after graduation. According to the ASPRS website, the club “was created to offer students a chance to learn about and engage in the industry of public relations as a potential career path.” UA junior and president of the organization, Talia Sabbath, joined because of her interest in developing leadership skills and to ensure the continuation of the club, and she intends to bring ASPRS to a national level. Sabbath is a marketing major and has held the position of president since fall 2017. As the club grows and develops, she hopes it will become part of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). PRSA National researches, tracks and speaks out on current issues impacting professional

practice, principles and reputation. PRSA advocacy also focuses on three core areas: the business value of public relations, ethics and diversity within the profession, according to its website “Right now, since we are a fairly new club, we
are wanting to get more involved in real-world projects involving public relations and connecting with other organizations,” Sabbath said. The UA does not currently offer a public relations major or minor, therefore limiting the opportunity for public relations career
experience for students. For UA students, ASPRS is an opportunity to explore the field of public relations by making connections and learning from professionals in the field. A public relations minor is currently being developed at UA in the Department of Communication with the assistance of ASPRS club adviser Julie Armstrong. Regarding current club activity, Sabbath said ASPRS is enhancing skills and informing its club members on what public relations can offer them. “We have guest speakers who have a career in public relations come speak to our club members and give more insight to public relations and what it entails,” Sabbath said. “We also have had a couple of press release workshops to help build people’s skills when writing press releases.” According to Sabbath, there are also plans for a kind of “public relations field trip” to the agency Caliber Group. Caliber is a brand-marketing, public relations, interactive firm based in Arizona, representing clients across the U.S. and internationally. ASPRS meets every other Wednesday in the Emil W. Haury Anthropology building, located at 1009 E. South Campus Drive, from 6–7 p.m.

NEW STUDENTS
UA offering new campus tours in Spanish BY MEKAYLA PHAN @DailyWildcat
University of Arizona sophomore and student ambassador Jorge Mata Ochoa gives campus tours to prospective students and their families who are interested in learning about UA — though he didn’t have the chance to take the tour himself when he entered the school, as his Sonoran parents cannot speak English well. In recognition of these kinds of language barriers, especially being situated so close to the border, the UA is offering campus tours in Spanish to accommodate a more diverse audience. The new initiative was started late January of this year by the Office of Admissions, housed in Old Main. The 90-minute tours are similar to any other general campus tour for prospective students, families and guests who want to learn more about the Wildcat student life, and now native Spanish-speakers will be able to join and follow along. The UA Information and Visitor Services Coordinator, Dan Kellish, said that this was something the university always wanted to do, but was not set in motion until he took on the project, which took six months to complete. “We made sure we weren’t leaving any stone unturned in making sure that this will be a complete campus tour experience — just in another language,” Kellish said. Kellish helps oversee all of the campus tours and works as an Arizona Ambassador honorary advisor, organizing a group of 125 student ambassadors that give the tours. Spanish tour ambassadors like Ochoa, who out of the 125 other ambassadors, was one of five who was bilingual in Spanish,
were on board with the new initiative. One of the reasons why the project required six months to launch, despite having an existing tour to work with, was due to some parts of the translation process. The admissions did, however, have the help of the University of Arizona’s National Center for Interpretation. The center shared their carefully-selected and certified freelancers to translate documents, emails and general information needed to launch the initiative. The center’s translation coordinator, Holly Silvestri, was not in term to work on the project, but was still willing to represent and speak about the benefits. “Universities are reaching out more and more to international student bodies,” Silvestri said. “We can’t ignore that 57 percent of the Tucson public school audience is of Latin descent, or Latin themselves, if we are not addressing that we will be losing out on some potential student body numbers.” Silvestri said that it is not evident when families take the tours that all of them speak the same language, understand fully what the tour guide says or are able to ask questions; and that due to the high cost of attending college, parents deserve to know where they are sending their children and what is offered to them. Which is why, according to Silvestri, she thinks that it is “admirable” that the university has this opportunity to provide more options. “This program barely started, so not many families know about it, but I’m sure when they do, more of them will sign up for it and their children will come to the university to take tours,” Ochoa said. Since tours are now offered in Spanish, people like his mother can finally come take the tour, understand what is being said, and not feel left out.

OPINION
Language event highlights communication barriers COLUMNIST TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat
R
ecently, I was asked “should English be the official language of the United States?,” by a volunteer for a booth at the International Mother Languages event on the University of Arizona campus. I answered “no,” based on logic. From the experience, though, I learned how much more conviction that ‘no’ has when it is based on people. When making political judgments, we should all act on the cliché and “step into another person’s shoes.” My task at the tent was simple — I had to fill out an application for school. Max handed me the paper, and I scanned through it. I smiled in disbelief. The application was in the Tohono O’odham language — there were dozens of black lines preceded by words I couldn’t understand. At first it seemed like it wouldn’t be too difficult. I had filled out applications just like it numerous times in my life, and I could guess where certain information was supposed to go. Like at the top — I knew that’s where my name went. But I realized I still didn’t know what to do. The first blank said “M-ce:gik.” Did that mean a first or last name? Or the whole thing? I looked up at the volunteer. He smiled at me and began
speaking in Tohono O’odham. He sounded like he was trying to help me, but it didn’t get me far. At the end of his sentence, he pointed to himself and said “Max.” Thank goodness I knew his name, or I would have just thought he was making more gestures. If his name wasn’t familiar to me, I still might not know whether it was a first name, or last name, or something completely different. We made it all the way through the application. I figured out how to put in my birthday, my phone number, and even my address with the help of index cards with little cartoons on them. I felt fulfilled for the moment. The experience was fun. That was the closest I had ever come to being unable to complete a task because of a language barrier, but this is how many Arizonans feel on a regular basis. But even this was so far from reality. Most people do not have a kind volunteer equipped with notecards to help them through paperwork. Some do not even know about the resources they miss out on. Spanish is widely spoken in Pima County. At least 63,000 Spanish speakers here speak English at a level lower than “very well,” according to statisticalatlas.com, a website which compiles U.S. Census information. For that reason, many organizations, including the Community Food Bank, try to provide the same information in Spanish and English. Yet, when I volunteer, I am often surprised at how little Spanish speakers know about programs that will greatly help their families. Information is still less accessible to them than it is to English speakers. For languages less prevalent than Spanish, inaccessibility becomes even more of a problem. In Arizona, it is estimated that
there are about 15,000 Tohono O’odham speakers. About 1,200 speak English “not at all” or “not very well,” and about 6.5 percent of these 1,200 are children. United States law tries to be inclusive of people who speak native languages. The Voting Rights Act, for example, requires polling locations in some counties to provide interpreters for some Native languages. However, the inclusivity is far from guaranteed. The Pima County Superior Court provides interpreters for many African, Asian, European and Middle Eastern dialects, though no options seem to be present for speakers of native languages. Our influence over law is often limited, though we can change the way we think about our language privilege and how we treat others in light of this knowledge. Many English speakers (me included) expect English to always be present while in the United States, and some of us don’t handle the situation well when it is not (I don’t hear the end of it when we run out of English pamphlets at the Community Food Bank). Perhaps instead, we should remember that we are fortunate that most of the information available to us is understandable to us. Not everyone in Pima County can sign up for school, nor read this opinion piece, without assistance. Let’s not forget why English isn’t our “official” language. Let’s not forget that just because we can understand, it does not mean that everyone can. — Toni Marcheva is a sophomore honors student majoring in philosophy, politics, econ and law.

CAMPUS CULTURE
Korean studies expand with new minor BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves
The University of Arizona’s Department of East Asian Studies offers a variety of focuses for their majors and minors, including Chinese and Japanese language or culture, and is now expanding to include a minor in Korean. Korean classes have been available at the UA, but the department has not offered any higher-level courses until now. The College of Humanities originally offered a Critical Language Program (CLP) that includes Korean language classes. It gives Korea the attention it needed, according to Albert Welter, head of the Department of East Asian Studies. Welter, also the associate director of the School of International Languages, Literatures and Cultures, oversees the new programs and courses offered and said that the Korean minor gives them “the recognition and acknowledgement they deserve.” “Korean popular culture is extremely popular throughout the East Asian region,” Welter said. “We have a lot of students here who are interested in Korea as well.” The new minor aims to have both a language focus and a cultural focus, and students who want to use Korean as their foundation language for their East Asian studies major can now do so. The interest for Korean classes through the College of Humanities has climbed with undergrad students, according to Margaret Camp, assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies and undergraduate adviser in the department. “We have students who are taking Korean and critical languages who kept coming in saying that [they] wanted to use Korean as part of their East Asian Studies major,” Camp said. “That’s why we started talking about bringing the Korean language courses over to our department.” The College of Humanities noticed an increased interest in the few Korean classes they previously offered. By moving the study program into the Department of East Asian Studies, they allowed for an increase in courses and staff to come. At the end of the 2017 fall semester, the department had 326 students minoring in their programs: 190 in Japanese, 110 in Chinese and 26 in general East Asian Studies, according to Camp. The East Asian Studies major and minor will also include a Korean language concentration and a Korean culture
concentration instead of just the Japanese and Chinese concentrations, according to Sunyoung Yang, an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies with a focus on Korea. “I’m the first Korean specialist in our department and have been developing Korean culture courses,” Yang said. She has been teaching Korean courses for two years at the UA, and many students have come up to her asking about the Korean major and minor. “I have at least seven students who are planning to claim the Korean minor, and if we have a Korean major before they graduate, they want to do that, too,” Yang said. Critical Language Program Director Jieun Ryu has helped coordinate the transition of the Korean classes from CLP to the East Asian Studies department. “I’ve modified and developed the curriculum of CLP Korean courses to mirror East Asian Studies language course models,” Ryu said. “I hired Korean language teachers to work with me.” The transition hopes to bring more diversity to both departments, according to Camp and Ryu, and this movement “will have departmental support to invest more on development specific to Korean language.” “It’s special and unique to our department because our languages are so hard that each one is five credits,” Camp said. Students can also get a cultural minor with 18 units — nine of those being upperdivision courses — yet the department doesn’t have many upper-division Korean courses, according to Camp. The new Korean minor will add those upper-division classes for students, hoping to bring in more instructors and culture to the department. “Korean is the third language studies program that has been really developing and growing in the department,” said Alain-Philippe Durand, dean for the College of Humanities. Durand said he is excited about the new minor and looks forward to the increase in the number of Koreanfocused classes offered. Camp and Yang both expressed their excitement in the new minor offered to students as well. “I think we are going to have to start actively promoting it,” Camp said. “We already have allowed seven [students] to declare the brand-new minor.” Yang and Camp have gone around to the different classes and promoted this new minor to try to get students interested and enrolled. The new Korean classes are expected to begin in the fall 2018 semester.

OPINION
UA Poetry Center stanzas above the rest COLUMNIST SAMI MARKS @DailyWildcat
T
he University of Arizona offers a wide variety of ways for students to get more involved within their community and within their majors. One of the College of Humanities’ main attractions, the UA Poetry Center, is often overlooked or forgotten. The state-ofthe-art center, located a little off campus, is a valuable resource that more students should engage with. As a creative writing major, I have had the pleasure of visiting the Poetry Center twice and plan to go much more throughout my college career. The first time, I was given a tour of the space. Inside, it is similar to a public library. There are shelves filled with poetry books and places to sit and read. There is also a children’s section that is redecorated every year to inspire children to get more involved with reading. Local Tucson elementary schools take field trips to the Poetry Center and learn about famous poets and get the opportunity to hear some of their poems, which makes the Poetry Center a great
resource for promoting children’s literacy. The center also features a computer and recording system that allows students to listen to poetry read aloud by the poet themselves, offering a completely new way to interpret the poem. The Poetry Center also invites authors and poets to come on Thursday nights to read their work to audiences. There is a room used for the reading, but the overflow guests are welcome to sit and stand in the open courtyard between the reading room and the center itself. The open space allows for the audience to engage freely with the author. I have been to a reading and, even though I sat outside in 50-degree weather, I had a really great experience. My creative nonfiction professor requires my class to attend readings throughout the semester and write about our experience and how hearing the poetry and seeing the author in person changes our perspective on the piece. Going to a reading with authors I have never heard of and never read before the class is an educational experience. I learn a lot about the author before I even read or hear their work, and I also get a sense of their personality. I heard Dorothea Lasky read and speak on a panel about her poetry and autobiography and could tell the difference in her professional voice versus her more casual voice.
When she read, she sounded composed and rehearsed, and when she spoke, she was relaxed and comfortable. This allows the audience to get a sense of who she is as a person and interpret her work differently because of that. They don’t make assumptions based on what has been written about her on the inside flap of the book. The reading series put on by the Poetry Center expands the knowledge of the people in attendance but is not talked about frequently enough. The Poetry Center remains something that is utilized for the most part by students in the College of Humanities and adults living in the Tucson area. Even I would not have known the Poetry Center existed if I was not required to go for my creative writing courses. This resource is vital to the university and needs more recognition. The readings are free and open to anyone who wants to come. You can arrive and leave whenever you want, and the staff are incredibly talented and passionate about their work. There are readings most weeks, and the calendar of readers and lecturers can be found on the Poetry Center’s website. This is a valuable resource to the UA’s campus and should be more well known among the students. — Sami Marks is a sophomore majoring in creative writing and English.
