WHO HONORS WHO? 4Former UA Honors College dean alleges a culture of systemic, gender-based pay discrimination 4Male successor’s salary $70,000 more than female predecessor

ormer University of Arizona Honors College Dean Patricia MacCorquodale filed a claim in U.S. District Court Monday for a $2 million collective action lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents, alleging widespread gender pay discrepancies at the UA. The lawsuit, brought under the Equal Pay Act (EPA), “alleges that ABOR dramatically underpaid Dr.
MacCorquodale during her tenure as Honors College dean relative to male deans at the university and to her male successors at the Honors College,” according to the press release. One of MacCorquodale’s attorneys, James Richardson, explained that the suit was brought under the EPA as a collective action because it “allows you to file a lawsuit on behalf of yourself and other individuals who are similarly situated.” That means that other female UA deans who may hold the same sentiment as

MacCorquodale can join and become party to the lawsuit. MacCorquodale, now a professor of gender and women’s studies, began working at the UA in 1978. Her position as Honors College dean ended in 2016 when she stepped down. According to Richardson, MacCorquodale was forced from her position at the Honors College. “She left as a direct result of retaliation by the university,” he said. David Sanford, head of the team

representing MacCorquodale, echoed that sentiment in a press release. “Not only did the university drastically underpay Dean MacCorquodale, it added insult to injury by terminating her deanship in 2016, in retaliation for her ongoing advocacy for pay equal to that of male deans on the UA campus.” Elliott Cheu was appointed as interim Honors College dean when MacCorquodale’s employment was

terminated. According to the press release, his salary was over $100,000 higher than MacCorquodale’s salary in her final year. Terry Hunt, her permanent successor, is now paid $70,000 more annually, despite having considerably less experience than Dr. MacCorquodale. Additionally, the suit claims that in the last three years of MacCorquodale’s term as Honors Dean, she was paid $153,000 in 2014 and 2015 and $162,750 in 2016. During that same time period, male deans’ pay averaged over $300,000 in all three years. The complaint calls out the UA and senior vice president for Academic Affairs and Provost Andrew C. Comrie “as perpetuating ‘a culture that marginalizes, demeans and undervalues women.’” The suit, alleging a broader pattern of gender discrimination, points out that the Dean’s Council, led by Comrie, “is primarily composed of men” and cites the inclusion of only three female deans during the 2017-2018 academic year. It also singles out Comrie for alleged comments made in his capacity as provost. The suit details an alleged incident between Comrie and an unidentified female dean. Comrie allegedly “inappropriately criticized her

PARTICIPANTS OF THE “A Trillion Acts of Love” candlelight vigil hold up candles on Saturday, Jan. 20.
Women’s vigil promotes acts of kindness BY KELLY DORNEY @DailyWildcat
The three organizers, Weis, Donna Sutton and Pam Bickell, befriended one another at last year’s march and bonded over a common objective. Since then, each of them have faced tragedy, ranging from car accident to illness. In response, the women created the Trillion Acts of Kindness movement, hoping that their event would create a space for positive change. “If you were upset that there was no march this year in Tucson, we were too. However, we hope you accept this gift of love,” Weis said. The vigil was a means to amplify the voices of Tucson’s residents. While marches may attract community leaders and established names, the event planners saw the vigil as a platform for individuals to hear from their neighbors and friends. During the event, individuals were given the opportunity to take the stage and share an act of kindness they plan to enact during 2018. The owner of a yoga studio offered up free classes as a place
A year after millions of individuals marched in solidarity for women’s rights across the country, Tucson community members gathered Saturday, Jan. 20 for a vigil to promote kindness and love. The 2017 Women’s March in Tucson, orchestrated after three months of planning, over 150 volunteers and approximately $25,000, brought 15,000 Tucson people together for a historic march. This year, in lieu of that display, three of the march’s organizers came together to plan a candlelight vigil. “A few months ago we got together feeling this sense of grief and anxiety,” said Sheli Weis, one of the event organizers. “We said, ‘we want to do something,’ but we weren’t sure we could march. All three of us are disabled.”
of refuge for those in need, an aspiring politician declared her commitment to building compassion if elected into Congress and a three-time leukemia survivor pledged her support to cancer patients in her community. “I’m unhappy with what I’m seeing in politics, and I wanted to spread happiness,” said Taylor Greene, a local teacher. Greene said she attended the vigil in the hopes that it would be a forum to speak about issues in a positive manner, rather than with negative rhetoric and hate. The vigil was held in Armory Park, adjacent to the Armory Park Senior Center. In close proximity to the center, event organizers pledged to donate supplies to seniors. Additionally, care bags were distributed to homeless individuals in the area after the event. Veterans for Peace, a Tucson volunteer group, provided security at the event. Though not specifically advocating for any particular issue, Veterans for Peace mediated the event and attended with other Tucson residents.

Provost Andrew Comrie steps down BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Andrew Comrie resigned Monday, according to a statement from University of Arizona President Dr. Robert Robbins. He will retain his position of tenured professor in the School of Geography and Development. Comrie, who has been a part of the UA in some capacity since 1992, oversaw all academic programs not affiliated with health sciences since being appointed provost in July 2012. In his statement to the UA community via email, Robbins celebrated Comrie’s time as Provost: “Andrew’s accomplishments include leading a fundamental budget redesign that expanded transparency and implemented responsibility-centered management.” Replacing Comrie will be Jeffrey B. Goldberg, dean of the College of Engineering. Although Comrie’s resignation is immediate, Goldberg will officially be installed “no later than March 5, 2018,” Robbins said. A search for a permanent replacement could take time. “Usually these national searches can take a
while,” said UA spokesman Chris Sigurdson. A few hours earlier, Comrie had been named in a federal class-action lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of former Honors College Dean Patricia MacCorquodale. The lawsuit alleges Comrie was “perpetuating ‘a culture that marginalizes, demeans and undervalues women.’” One of MacCorquodale’s attorneys, James Richardson, said that he couldn’t speak to the particulars of Comrie’s resignation, but that he “didn’t want to speculate why the provost stepped down four hours after the suit was filed.” The two announcements are not tied together, according to Sigurdson. “His stepping down and the lawsuit announcement are not related,” he said. According to both Sigurdson and Robbins’ statement, Comrie’s decision to step down had been in the works for some time. “Comrie informed me just after the New Year that he had decided to step down from his position,” Robbins said. The Daily Wildcat allowed multiple opportunities for comment from Comrie prior to publication of this article. As of publication, he has not responded.

Rich Rod’s accuser files claim against UA BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie
The woman who accused former Arizona head football coach Rich Rodriguez of sexual harassment and creating a hostile workplace has filed an $8.5 million notice of claim against the University of Arizona, as well as the Arizona Board of Regents, which is charged with overseeing the state’s university system. In her and her husband’s new claim filed on Friday, Jan. 19 by the claimants’ attorney Augustine “Augie” Jimenez, the UA is called “vicariously liable” for the alleged harassment and hostile work environment, according to a report in the Arizona Daily Star. While the new claim includes much of the same information contained in an initial claim made against Rodriguez in December 2018, the new claim offers insight from the claimant about what happened after she left her position at the UA, according to the Star. On Oct. 26, 2017, the claim mentions a call put into the UA by the claimant. The claimant’s daughter was still employed by the UA Athletic Department, and the
claimant called in regard to her daughter working more hours than allowed for students. When the claimant identified herself, she was transferred to speak with an employee in the UA’s Office of Institutional Equity, who informed the claimant that an investigation into Rodriguez’s conduct was underway. The employee subsequently told the claimant she “knew that [the claimant] left because of what Rodriguez did to her,” according to the Star. After first agreeing to meet the employee to discuss her departure from the UA, the claimant instead decided to seek counsel from an attorney, fearing that if she were to participate in the investigation, “heads will roll,” according to the Star. In response to the notice of claim, Rodriquez released a statement on social media denying the claims. “The truth will come out and the plaintiffs’ motives will be plain to see,” Rodriguez said in the official statement. “It is important to remember that there was an extensive investigation into the matter that found no wrongdoing by me.”

UA political classes more than Koch bros. BY TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat
W
hen I tell people that I’m a PPEL major, I get three responses more often than others: first, “what’s that?;” second, “very cool” and the controversial third, “that’s the one affiliated with the Koch brothers, right?” Well, what I know about the details of the answer to the third question is the exact same as any other regular reader of the Daily Wildcat. What I can speak about is my experience so far in the PPEL major—what we learn about, and biases I perceive (of course, you must keep in mind, from my biased perspective). In short, I love my major, and I know that I am receiving an education unlike that I could receive anywhere else. For those still caught at the first question, PPEL stands for Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law. My major classes focus on the intersection of these fields and how these together impact our world. It really makes up for what my second major, economics, lacks. Economics is the study of how people make choices, but it often assumes away many of the things that make people human, like culture, ideology or religion. PPEL teaches us to critically think about the world while keeping in mind the world’s complexity, ethics and morality. This major is helping me fulfill my goal of knowing how to think. I am learning not to take for granted everything I read, how to ask good questions and how to weigh many viewpoints. I’ve learned the importance of understanding myself and what I believe. It’s a beautiful experience. But before the beauty, many see two old men. A major concern, as I understand, of the Kochs donating money to the UA is that they might influence what is taught. In general, though, people do not openly donate money to organizations they disapprove of in order to cause it to change. Rather, they donate money to what they already support. However, this logic does mean that the Kochs probably support what is taught in my major. The Kochs, in general, hold libertarian views. So, do I see this bias in my major? First answer: yes, somewhat. My professors are openly sympathetic
to conservative, classical liberal and libertarian views. In my PPEL 301 course (Intermediate Microeconomics), my professor joked about ‘granola fascists’ and the foolishness of Earth Day. However, when it came to content, he gave us market curves for flat and progressive tax rates, subsidized and unsubsidized wages, and never told us which were better or worse, but only the different outcomes and challenges of both. Any meaning derived from the graphs was up to us to gather. In discussions and tests for other classes, we have never been wrong because of our answers or ideology, but for our reasoning or inability to connect evidence to our conclusions. Professors in this program, though they have their own beliefs, would not pass a student for her regurgitation of an assumed ‘accepted belief’ (which I am convinced there is not one) but for her ability to think critically about the subject at hand. Second answer: of course there’s some kind of bias. Every professor in every major looks through the lens of his or her own studies, and most majors carry their own assumptions. So far, all of my professors specializing in microeconomics have believed in the market’s ability to fix the same societal problems that many political science professors might believe the government has a better place in. My Spanish literature class, which focused on gender and critical thinking, held the assumption that women are, and probably will always be, oppressed by men. However, in order to think critically about the issue, one would have to look at other sides, like the antifeminist side (even if their claims might not be fully justifiable). From my PPEL student’s perspective, I do not see a negative effect of the “Koch controversy” on my education. PPEL is a unique major home to some of the sharpest students I have met at the university. I know I spent a lot of time in this column simply praising the major, but my hope, if you can gather nothing else, is that the major does more than create gripping controversy. It fills me, as it does others, with a passion for discovering the nature of our world. —Toni Marcheva is a sophomore who loves rollerblading and reading works by classical economists.

POLICE BEAT BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @NessaMagnifique
Bag at it again University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call on Jan. 5 from the UA BookStore regarding a male suspect who fled the store with a stolen backpack valued at $65. Officers tracked the man to an empty classroom in the James E. Rogers College of Law building after receiving reports of a man who matched the description of the suspect. The man was wearing a red t-shirt over a red tank top, both with tags still attached, and pajama bottoms. He had the backpack with him. The officers handcuffed the suspect and questioned him about the price tags on his clothing. The man told the officers the shirts were Christmas gifts and he had not removed the tags yet. Inside the backpack, officers discovered a glass pipe with residue on it. A field test revealed that the residue tested positive for crack cocaine. Also inside the backpack was a packet of suboxone, a narcotic that blocks the effects of opioid medication. Dispatch advised the officers that the suspect had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant from Tucson Police Department. The man had five previous theft contacts. UA BookStore staff members positively identified the suspect as the man who had fled with the stolen backpack earlier in the day. Officers arrested the man and gave him a sixmonth exclusionary order. They later escorted the man to Pima County Jail. Rage against the machine UAPD officers arrived at Likins Residence Hall Jan. 8 in response to a call regarding criminal damage to a building vending machine. Officers met with the community director who made the call after he discovered the vandalized machine in the first floor laundry room. The community director told the officers that his dorm is located near the laundry room. At approximately 4:30 a.m. that day he heard a noise coming from the area. When he checked the room at 6:30 a.m., he saw the damage and called UAPD. According to the officers, approximately 75 percent of the machine’s glass display window was broken. Shards were scattered around the floor surrounding the machine. Also on the floor were two of the corkscrew-shaped pieces that dispense the items. The machine’s lock and touchscreen exhibited strike marks. The damage appeared to have been inflicted with a rock, as there were rock fragments left in the machine. A security camera in the laundry room captured footage of the suspect and the activity. Officers and the CD reviewed the footage, but the CD could not identify the suspect. However he told officers he believes the suspect is a Likens resident because the surveillance footage did not show the suspect entering or exiting the property. The officers notified Tomdra, the company that owns the vending machine, of the damage.
Red Cross, vets team up The Veterans Eucation and Transition Services department organized a blood drive after setting a record for blood drawn last year.

DANIELLE WELLS SITS IN the chair waiting for the removal of the needle after giving blood. Wells has given blood multiple times before.
BY CORINNA TELLEZ @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona Veterans Education and Transition Services sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive in the Rincon Room at the Student Union Memorial Center Friday, Jan. 19, 2017. UAVETS first began sponsoring these blood drives in 2015 when the American Red Cross reached out to the group to guage interest. Since then, UAVETS has aimed to sponsor two blood drives every semester. “We like to think of ways to serve the community after military service, and giving blood is one way,” said Duan Copeland, blood drive coordinator and student veteran.
Donating blood can often be difficult for veterans because their service; being deployed overseas for a certain amount of time make some ineligible to donate blood. The American Red Cross has a list of eligibility criteria to look over if you are considering donating blood, and goes into further detail about donating after having traveled outside of the U.S. “It’s more difficult for veterans to give blood, but we try to do the best we can and get as many units as we can,” Copeland said. Copeland said the last blood drive UAVETS sponsored set a record. Danielle Wells, a sophomore and a dependent of a veteran, donated blood at the event for the second
time at a UAVETS sponsored blood drive. “I feel like it’s a good way to give back. If you can help, then why not?” Wells said. Wells’ father served in the U.S. Air Force, and during that time was stationed in Germany with his family. Her father, mother and brother stayed in Germany for more than five years, making them ineligible to donate blood. Wells, however, was only in Germany from birth to the age of three, making her the only one in her immediate family eligible to donate. “Nobody else in my family can, so why not me?” Wells said.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
Yeast infections are incredibly common and affect up to 75% of women at some point in their lifetime.
What exactly is a yeast infection? Yeast grows normally throughout the body and is part of the healthy flora for most people; it only becomes a problem when it gets out of balance. The most common organism which causes vaginal yeast infections is called Candida albicans, and when it multiples rapidly a yeast infection can occur. The main symptom of a yeast infection is itching, but other symptoms include an odorless, thick white discharge (resembling cottage cheese), inflammation, and burning. So how does the yeast get out of balance in the first place? Here are some common factors: • Having a weakened immune system - due to an inability to keep yeast numbers at bay • Use of antibiotics - which can wipe out “friendly” bacteria that help control yeasts • Diabetes - since higher amounts of available glucose (sugar) in the body can cause yeast to multiply
• Increased estrogen levels: due to birth control pills or pregnancy An overgrowth of yeast also occurs in a warm and moist environment, so to reduce your chances of a yeast infection keep extra moisture away from your genital area. Change out of wet bottoms (swim or workout gear) as soon as possible, avoid tight fitting clothing, wear cotton underwear, and after using the bathroom thoroughly wipe from front to back. Treatment of a yeast infection involves anti-yeast creams or suppositories which are placed inside the vagina, or by taking a prescribed oral antifungal medication. If you think you may have a yeast infection and/or something just doesn’t seem right down there, make an appointment with a health care provider. To schedule a confidential appointment with our Women’s Health Clinic, call (520) 621-9202.

‘Miranda’s Station Review’ makes a comeback ‘90s creative writing and poetry magazine looks to be revived 27 years later BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves
Miranda’s Station Review, a student-run publication, may not be familiar to most who roam University of Arizona campus today. The free publication — a poetry, art and creative writing magazine — landed on campus in fall 1991. Michael Baker, a nontraditional undergrad, was one of the co-founders of the magazine and is looking to revive the publication in the spring of 2018. Baker, who graduated from high school in Pennsylvania in 1982, started at Pennsylvania State University, unsure of what he wanted to do. In fall of 1986, he found it was possible to major in poetry and transferred to UA. At that time, he was going through an anti-social phase, which caused him to fail some classes. “I didn’t go to any of my classes, I failed four of them and got a ‘D’ in one of them: poetry,” Baker said. So he decided he would come back in the spring and write. He signed up for Introduction to Fiction Writing, taught by David Foster Wallace, who was a graduate student at the time. “I went to the first class and he was very intimidating. The first thing he said was that there were too many students in this class,” Baker said. “‘Some of you don’t belong here,’ [Wallace] said.” Then, because of financial aid issues, Baker had to discontinue his time at the UA. He returned in 1990 to continue his school career. The same year, talk of producing a publication started to arise. The idea, conceived by his friend Shawn Davis and Davis’ roommate at the time, to produce a magazine sparked the interest of Baker. In fall of ’91, Baker returned to campus and Davis was in need of someone to help start the magazine due to Davis’ roommate falling out of the project. “[Davis] said ‘do you want to do a ‘zine with me?’ I don’t think he was really serious, but I was all for it,” Baker said.
Davis got his girlfriend at the time to be the fiction editor. Baker knew Kerry Lengel, a contributor to the magazine, from the previous year at school and knew he had a “literary mindset.” The magazine was a way for Lengel to get his foot in the door. He also worked at the Daily Wildcat, but this production was for the creative writing and arts students to have an outlet to create. Lengel now works at the Arizona Republic. Davis’ girlfriend’s friend, who was an arts major at the UA, did the cover on the first issue, and the magazine was off the ground. “We just posted flyers up wherever we thought creative people would be to see,” Baker said. “We had a difficult time getting submissions, especially at first, but then they picked up.” The magazine wanted to be a healthy mix of literature — poetry, fiction and journalism articles included. “The writing was all handwritten or mechanical typesetting,” Lengel said, which brought a creative flow to the magazine. Like most publications, keeping up with times was tough. Getting submissions and working on a nonprofit magazine was something that was addressed constantly. The magazine got some funding from the UA, though most of the money came from selling advertisements. Yet the magazine still faced problems. The arts editor for each issue was a different person due to a high turnover rate on the position. “We thought of ourselves as the Beatles of the publishing world. Shawn was Paul McCartney and I was John Lennon,” Baker said. “Our art editor was our drummer; we kept having to replace the drummer.” Miranda’s Station Review produced five issues — four while Baker was on staff and one the year after he left. “The first one was a little rough, as far as design goes,” Baker said. “The other issues, I’m pretty proud of what we did, and the

material that we published is actually pretty decent.” They passed out the magazine to students at two parts of the school and increased print numbers every issue, starting at 400 and rising to 1,000 by the last issue. Interest in the publication was not as keen as they hoped it would be, but there was some interest. Persona, an undergraduate literature magazine produced at the UA, was one of the only other magazines that ran on campus. “They were the official voice of undergraduates, and we were the unofficial voice and we embraced that,” Baker said. The magazine’s fourth issue resembled the Beatles’ White Album. Both the album and the magazine were doubles, meaning two releases. “Mike was pretty much the person that was pushing it creatively,” Lengel said. “He brought a sort of fun indie spirit to it.”
The creative flow of the publication continued through 1993. Baker dropped out of school before May of ’92 just before graduation due to personal reasons. He did not see the magazine run its final issue. In the last few years, he has been through, according to him, a sort of enlightenment. In the last few weeks, he has looked through the old magazines and wanted to bring it back. He resided in Tulsa, Oklahoma and wanted to go back to school. He got a hold of an UA adviser and asked if his credits were still good. They said yes, but he would need to take five classes. “I saw that professor Chomsky was having a class and was upset that I wasn’t in Arizona so that I could take the class,” Baker said. “So, I started thinking and there wasn’t anything that was keeping me in Oklahoma, so I came out here for my last semester.” This is Baker’s third time at
the UA. He will graduate in May with an undergraduate degree in creative writing, with a focus on poetry. The magazine was a part of his experience at the UA in the ‘90s, so he wants to bring it back and pass it on. It was a way for students to get creative and produce content. “It seems that in 2018, a digital magazine would be the natural way to provide the sort of outlet for students,” Lengel said. Baker is ready to train the next generation of staffers at the magazine. He has reached out to some classes, yet wants this to be something independent and student-run — something that can be passed on. Baker is reaching out to the Poetry Center to get connections, but he also wants student involvement. To reach Michael Baker, email him at mebaker2525@email.arizona.edu

THE UA CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE, located at 1215 E. Helen St., hosts the first concert of the series on Jan. 25.
UA celebrates ‘Year of the Dog’ with concerts BY RYANE MURRAY @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona is gazing into the Year of the Dog with a Chinese New Year celebration, put on by the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra (SASO) with the Tucson Sino Choir on Thursday, Jan. 25. This free cultural exhibition, sponsored by the Confucius Institute of the UA (CIUA), takes place at 7:30 p.m. in Crowder Hall. According to the CIUA website, the institute strives to “become one of the 50 Model Confucius Institutes around the world.” They will accomplish this goal by “featuring innovative integration of traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, culture, performance art, ancient history, humanity, education and language.” This is the first year that four concerts will be presented, including vocalists Hua Xu and Xuanshu Jiang, plus instrumental soloists Jing Xia on the guzheng and Fangyuan Liu on erhu. Both the 21-stringed guzheng, also known as the Chinese zither, and the erhu, a Chinese two-stringed fiddle, originally had strings made of silk. Both instrumental soloists are graduates of the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing and currently teach at the UA. Program Director for the Confucius Institute, Larry (Xiaoming) Lang, said
the significance of the event to Tucson lies in the fact that the city truly is a center for culture. Lang, the artistic director of the Arizona Chinese New Year Festival and music director of the Tucson Sino Choir, has performed with many different orchestras, including SASO. “Tucson is an international, cultural melting pot; it comes with all kinds of culture and, especially, music,” Lang said. This New Year celebration allows the community of Tucson the opportunity to be involved in sharing, and experiencing, a small part of Chinese culture. The event encourages diverse exposure outside of people’s own culture, while still being strongly intertwined in the atmosphere of Tucson. This cultural immersement is made possible specifically through musical pieces and traditional Chinese instruments. Lang has been bringing this kind of rich, Chinese music to Tucson for almost 10 years, with all the concerts being well-received by the community. “Great Wall Capricio” will be performed by erhu soloist Liu and the orchestra. Guzheng soloist Xia and the orchestra will perform “The Tale of Rainbow Clouds.” This free event will be held Thursday, Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m. in Crowder Hall.
PEOPLE MAKE THEIR WAY toward the Arizona State Capitol as part of the “Women’s March to the Polls” march in Phoenix Sunday, Jan. 21. The Phoenix Police Department estimated between 20,000 and 25,000 people participated in this year’s march, similar to last year’s Phoenix march turnout.
Women’s movement marches forward BY ALY CANTOR @DailyWildcat

rom Los Angeles to Dallas to Washington D.C., there were Women’s Marches taking place all over on Saturday, Jan. 20. These marches were organized to protest not only the oneyear anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, but Trump and his administration’s stance on issues including healthcare, immigration, women’s rights and more. Trump acknowledged the marches with a tweet, per usual: “Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!” He wanted the marches to be in celebration, not despair. Protesters marched around with clever signs and outfits pushing for equality and concerns about sexual harassment. Many men also attended these marches, fighting for fairness as well. The #MeToo movement was widely recognized at the marches, with guest speakers such as Viola Davis, Natalie Portman and Whoopi Goldberg. These actresses used their platforms to raise awareness of the sexual misconduct happening not only in Hollywood, but all over the world. Viola Davis issued a powerful statement at the Los Angeles rally.
“I am speaking today not just for the MeToos, because I am a Me-Too,” Davis said. “But when I raise my hand, I am aware of all the women who are still in silence. The women who are faceless, the women who don’t have the money and who don’t have the constitution and who don’t have the confidence and who don’t have the images in our media that gives them a sense of selfworth to break their silence that’s rooted in the shame of assault.” The best way to make a change is to make your voice heard. Famous people using their platform in the public eye is a great way to make an impact and keep the subject popular. Communities gathering together is vital to keeping one another strong, especially through hard times. The #MeToo movement has helped many women open up about their horrifying experiences and has given them an opportunity to grow stronger while having support from a large community. In Tucson on Saturday, there was also a movement to make women’s voices heard; the planning team from last year’s march, which had over 15,000 attendees, planned a candlelight vigil to launch their new movement, A Trillion Acts of Love. It is a simple, yet powerful, way to spread kindness around the community despite the darkness some have been feeling because of our current administration. Attendees were encouraged to bring a candle and share their individual pledge on how they plan to support the community. — Aly Cantor is studying pre-journalism and information science and eSociety.

ARTIST JUDITH CHAFEE WILL be honored with a UA library exhibit, showcasing her lifelong works. The exhibit will run through July 2018.
Tucson artist honored with UA library exhibit Lifetime works of Judith Chafee displayed to show how artists evolve over time BY ZOE CROWDUS @DailyWildcat
Hidden in the Catalina Foothills is a $2.5 million home surrounded by nearly nine acres of land. Although this is one of the largest parcels of land in the Foothills and a pricey piece of real estate for the Tucson market, the immensity and price are not the most impressive parts of this home. Built in 1975, the “Ramada House,” designed by Judith Chafee, earned its name from the extensive wooden ramada that provides temperature control and shade to the entire home. The Ramada House, along with other artifacts from the life and work of Chafee, will be featured at Special Collections in the University of Arizona Main Libraries this January through July, with its debut event on Jan. 22. “[Chafee] didn’t get the kind of recognition she deserved,” said Bob Diaz, an associate librarian who worked to put this exhibit together. “She was a genius as far as I’m concerned.” One of Diaz’s goals with this exhibit is to showcase how Chafee evolved as an artist while also incorporating her personal life and time in Tucson, before her death in 1998. “I wanted to bring out her art because I don’t think people realize how an artist can expand and grow and change and move in different directions,” Diaz said. “But she certainly found her niche; architecture was her life.” After growing up in Tucson, Chafee moved to Connecticut to study at Yale University and begin her career. “She started with painting and art and furniture designs,” Diaz said. “She designed a chair that she patented, so she owns a patent on a really cool swivel chair. She moved into both interior design and architecture, but after she was known as an architect because of the stunning treasures that she created.” Chafee moved back to Tucson in 1970 and built a variety of private homes, always with the specific needs of her clients and the desert in mind. “She built some incredible buildings that were in tune with the environment. She used a lot of solar energy when that wasn’t as popular as it is now,” Diaz said. “Having grown up
in Tucson, she was very aware of the importance of having shade and things like that, but she also was very attentive to the needs of the clients. She had very few public buildings but some incredible private homes that she built.” Diaz described Chafee as not only being a strong architect, but also having a strong and vibrant personality. “She had a conscious, active stance on the environment and a liberal attitude toward things,” Diaz said. “She was not conservative; she drank and she smoked and she cussed.” Chafee also maintained her own high standards and opinions on beauty and excellence that caused her to clash with others. One of her most notable buildings, Blackwell, is remembered more for the controversy than the architecture. “Blackwell wasn’t so much a gem as it was controversial, and probably the best-known house because of the controversy,” Diaz said. “It was in the Tucson mountains and there was a fight between different county administrators and the bulldozers showed up one day and it was gone.” UA Libraries began acquiring Chafee and other’s architecture work in the 1980s, like blueprints, photos and models, but the work was transferred between institutions before returning to the university in 2011. “The college of architecture had a big collection they started it in the ‘80s. It was called the Arizona Architectural Archives, but with budget cuts and all, the collections got transferred here and there and ended up with us in 2011,” Diaz explained. “Since then, we’ve been steadily working on getting it organized and making it available to the public.” After organizing her work for seven years, the department of architecture and UA Libraries are excited to share Chafee’s art with the public. “This is the bringing out of the collection we acquired in 2011. It has taken this long, but at least we’re there,” Diaz said. “This is going to be huge. The community just loves architecture, and there’s a huge interest in her in particular.” The exhibit debut has already received over 150 RVSPs and is expecting an enthusiastic turnout. Chafee’s work will be on display in the Special Collections hall next to the UA main library until July, and is free and open to the public.

Mental health issues affect athletes, too BY SAMANTHA MARKS @samimarks98
Arts 4C
C
ollege athletes, no matter what division, have a tougher time in college. They have practice up to three times a day, weightlifting sessions multiple times a week and mandatory study hours. They miss countless classes to go to other universities and compete. Some professors are understanding and show compassion, while others do not. All of this stress and no free time can push an athlete over the edge. My first semester of college, I was a Division I athlete. My days consisted of class, weights, practice and no time for lunch. I ate a big breakfast around 9 a.m. and then didn’t have a chance to eat until 6 p.m. I couldn’t be late to practice or to weights just to eat. I hated being a Division I athlete. One of my classes required me to go to three seminars on campus throughout the semester for 15 percent of my grade. These seminars always conflicted with my practice and travel meet schedule. My professor wasn’t the most understanding about this conflict and it caused a lot of stress for me. I know a lot of my teammates have often thought about quitting because of the time commitment and the stress that came with being an athlete. Some people don’t feel like they can handle being a student and an athlete. When I quit my sport, I felt a lot of pressure from my coaches and my parents to stay an athlete, even though it wasn’t something I wanted to do anymore. For other athletes, the pressure can be too much. The suicide rate in college athletes is high, and from my experience, there are little to no resources provided. With the recent suicide of Washington State University’s quarterback Tyler Hilinski, experts are wondering what needs to be done to prevent these tragedies. During my semester as an athlete, I was never told about the mental health resource center on campus. Even if I had been provided this valuable information, I wouldn’t have had time or felt comfortable going.
College athletes have an image of being stronger and more elite than the regular student. Going to a therapy session on campus holds a lot of negative stigma and isn’t something most people feel comfortable doing. The issue of time also plays a role. After class and practice were over, it was usually pretty late in the evening. Then there’s also study hall. At my previous school, six hours of study hall were mandatory every week, or you couldn’t practice or compete. After practice, my best friend and I would sit in a small room with no windows and swipe our ID cards. We would sit and stare at a wall for an hour every night — even if we had no homework to do. When study hall finished, some athletes may still have some homework to do. Or they may just want a break and to finally have some time to themselves. This doesn’t leave them a lot of time to go talk to someone about their stress, anxiety or other mental health issues. With so little free time, it feels wasteful to not relax when there’s finally a break. Being a student athlete is a once-ina-lifetime opportunity and provides wonderful life experience. I’m still so close with the girls on my team, even though I live across the country now. I’m grateful that I had the chance to be an athlete, but I know I would be miserable if I still was. Every single athlete from my club diving team who attended the University of Arizona as an athlete quit and transferred after their freshman or sophomore year. The athletes here have just as few resources as they did at my old school. There needs to be somewhere athletes can go and talk about the pressure and the stress that comes along with being a Division I athlete, and time needs to be set aside to do so by teams, coaches and other officials. The pressure from coaches and the entire school, especially for a quarterback at a big football school, can be too much. Without anyone to talk to, it can feel like suicide is the only option. Something needs to change before another talented individual takes their life. — Samantha Marks is a sophomore who likes to spend time with her family and friends.

Tucson’s ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ marks 40 years The Loft Cinema hosts the longest-running performance of the show in the U.S. BY BREAGH WATSON @breaghwatson
“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has been playing with a live cast at The Loft Cinema for 40 years, making it the longest-running live performance of the movie in the United States. The movie-musical follows Brad and Janet, a newly engaged couple who get a flat tire in the middle of the woods. After walking in the rain to a nearby castle, they meet Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite about to reveal his new creation, among other strange inhabitants. At the time of its release in 1975, the film was universally criticized, according to online magazine The Artifice. However, its sexual progressiveness led it to achieve longevity, and it still plays in theatres throughout the world. “As a piece of film, it is not, perhaps, a shining example of cinematic achievement, but what it lacks in cinematic finesse it makes up for in social relevancy,” The Artifice wrote. “As a sub-culture touchstone, it reigns as king of the cult movies, and there is no denying its staying power or fan base.” “Rocky Horror” has played with a shadow cast at least once a month at The Loft Cinema consistently since 1978. To celebrate the anniversary, there will be a Halloween sing-a-long performance in addition to the scheduled October show. The current shadow cast, called Heavy Petting, performs “Rocky Horror” at The Loft on the third Saturday of each month. Heavy Petting is a diverse group full of talented and energetic individuals that make the experience at The Loft truly unique and widely beloved. “I really love the cast; they’re such a tight community,” said Madz Smith-Ledford, who has seen The Loft’s performance more than 10 times. “The Loft itself — I don’t come here just to watch films. I come here to interact with people who are likeminded.” Heavy Petting’s performance is complete with the traditional pre-show ritual for “Rocky Horror” “virgin sacrifices.” The hilariously uncomfortable ritual forces new audience members to do things like take body shots off complete strangers or fake an orgasm for the entire audience. It is a great way to get in the mood for the sexually free and bizarre cult-classic film. “It’s always fun coming here,” Smith-Ledford said. Once the pre-show antics are over, the curtain opens for the movie. From the iconic red lips to Brad and Janet crawling through smoke, Heavy Petting never misses a beat. They have both impressively precise mimicry of dance moves and singing mixed with a fun amount of the cast’s own improvisation and personality. Their real-life connection shines through their shadow performance on stage. Dianna Diaz, a Heavy Petting cast member and second-generation “Rocky Horror” performer, has been with the cast for the last three years. “I’ve been coming since I was old enough to buy a ticket, so it’s been something that’s been involved in my life,” Diaz said. “Everyone’s accepting of all your insaneness.” The Loft’s showing is full of “Rocky Horror” fans who lead the audience in traditions like throwing toast, dancing the Time Warp and screaming “asshole” whenever Brad’s name is said. “I love that you can just come as you are, no matter what, and you can be crazy and let go,” Diaz said. The audience is just as diverse and eccentric as the cast itself. Many dress up as characters or in similar fashion, complete with fishnet leggings and high heels. However, whether a long-time fan or a virgin, every member has got at least a little affinity for the odd. Buck Robertson, an audience member dressed in gold Rocky shorts and broad Brad glasses, has seen “Rocky Horror” live at The Loft three times, and many other times elsewhere. “I love the culture. It’s just crazy. You can just do your own thing and be as wild as you want with it,” Robertson said. There’s a reason The Loft’s “Rocky Horror” has been running successfully for 40 years. Besides the cultural phenomenon of the film, large audiences are drawn each month by the culture of Heavy Petting and The Loft environment. Some audience members have been attending for years, and new virgins are initiated each month. Heavy Petting honors the traditions of the live show while also making it their own. Their performance does what the film always called for: celebrating the weird.

Courtney Cowles flips the script Sophomore GymCat Courtney Cowels is balancing athletics and film making BY SYRENA TRACY @syrena_tracy
Three, two, one … action. Arizona gymnastics sophomore Courtney Cowles makes the lights and cameras in McKale Center more than a competition floor; she makes it the set for her aspirations of becoming a female film director. Cowles was inspired to start gymnastics at a young age by her older sister, Kaitlin. Cowles enjoyed the sport and followed in the footsteps of her sister, who helped her reach her goals and develop her skills. With intense training and competition, Cowles qualified four times for the Junior Olympics, 2011– 2013 and in 2015. “In the beginning of high school, I did have elite goals, and I was looking to work toward … the Olympics, Worlds or even be on the National team,” Cowles said. “But as I got older and I got more injuries, I decided to focus on college. Halfway through high school was when I committed to Arizona and all my effort was going to be toward college.” Injuries came often for Cowles, and it was rare for her to have a season without one. She had to have an ankle surgery and three shoulder surgeries. Despite it all, Cowles’ focus wasn’t only on gymnastics; she grew a passion for directing and producing films. Starting out making little films and music videos with her friends when she was younger, Cowles eventually recognized her talent behind the camera and decided to take a film class in high school. “When I took a film class in
high school I realized that this was something I could do for a living. This was a passion of mine that I could pursue and do something with,” Cowles said. “I continued to take classes and went to a separate film school during my senior year.” Cowles took her talent to Florida Film Academy, where she expanded her knowledge and experience with other high school students. There she was given the opportunity to direct and act in a film called “Miss Wittington,” which took first place at the Miami Beach Rising Star Film Festival. “Miss Wittington” was played in the movie theater before every movie for a month after the festival. During her time directing, Cowles was still training at Brandy Johnson’s Global Gymnastics Academy and eventually began to look at colleges to attend for both gymnastics and film. Many colleges reached out to Cowles, but after visiting the University of Arizona, she knew she belonged as a GymCat and canceled all other college visits. She showed what she had to offer for the ‘Cats on the balance beam during freshman year, but she also showed what she had to offer by directing videos for the team. Now in her second year as a Wildcat, Cowles continues to video the GymCats during inter-squads, meets and traveling. “I’ve always tried to take aspects of my life and make them into films or things that interest me,” Cowles said. “I spend most of my time in the gym with my teammates and competitions, so I got the idea while we are together to

turn it into a hype video for us [Arizona gymnastics] and for other people to see what we are doing. I also do it for self-experience because it is really good practice for me.” Cowles hopes to one day be a director in the movie industry, but she knows that being a female in a maledominated industry can come with challenges. She looks at Patty Jenkins, American film director and screenwriter for “Wonder Woman,” as inspiration to be a part of the film industry. “I am very aware of the problem with unequal pay and the industry being male-dominated, but there are a few female directors that are breaking through and standing up,” Cowles said. “I think it’s very important for more
females to get into the industry and make themselves present. I see a lot of females in my film classes, which is really exciting to me.” While enjoying her time as a GymCat, Cowles has competed in every meet since arriving to Arizona and was able to earn season and career highs of 9.800 on beam and 9.725 on vault during the 2017 season. Unlike many sports, gymnastics comes to an end after college, but Cowles is getting set for what is in store. “I am looking to move international after college,” Cowles said. “I am a intercultural studies minor, so I am learning about other cultures and other languages in hopes to move to Europe and be a film director there, or even go to a film school there.”

Arizona hosts inaugural Unity Game Over 600 t-shirts and bracelets were handed out to fans and other UA athletes to support the team

ARIZONA’S JALEA BENNETT (33) DRIVES into the key and past Colorado’s defense during a game on Friday, Jan. 19.
BY TEAGAN RASCHE @teaganrasche
The Arizona women’s basketball team hosted the first Unity Game on Friday, Jan. 19, when they played the University of Colorado. The Unity Game is a result of Arizona’s recent partnership with the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE). RISE was founded by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross in 2015. It consists of “professional sports leagues, organizations, athletes, educators, media networks and sports professionals using sports to bring people together to promote understanding, respect and equality,” according to their website, risetowin.org. Many Arizona student athletes attended the Unity Game as fans to see the spectacle. “I think it’s awesome that RISE teamed up with women’s basketball to hold this event,“ Arizona gymnast Lauryn Mattson said. “The whole point of RISE is to bring people
together, and we were able to come together as a team, along with other teams, to support women’s basketball. It was a great way to support our school and women’s basketball team.” Members from Arizona’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) handed out 600 t-shirts and bracelets to fans before the game on Friday. Many fans were excited about being part of the Unity Game. “The opportunity to interact with RISE again was an opportunity of a lifetime,” said Sammy Morrison, an Arizona football player and co-president of SAAC. “Their inclusion in not only our athletic department, but also our school community truly shows how much they care about equality.” Morrison also said it gave him a chance to connect deeper with the Tucson community. “I was able to sit next to athletes who I’ve never spoken to and cheer on our Wildcats as a united front,” Morrison said. “By passing out shirts before the game, my fellow student athletes and I were able to interact with people of
the community in a way I’ve never done before.” RISE also provided a photo booth for fans to take pictures in, with signs that said “Wildcats For Equality” and “Arizona Wildcats United We Stand”. Two employees from RISE came to Tucson to help run the photo booth for the day and organize the Sideline Racism Challenge, which was started by members of the Detroit Pistons the same day of the game. The Pistons encouraged people to run back and forth, from sideline to sideline, on any sports playing surface and to take a pledge to end discrimination. After the run and pledge, participants named other people to do the challenge and posted their videos online. During halftime, Arizona student athletes Olivia Macdonald (beach volleyball), Malcolm Holland (football) and Travis Thorne (cross-crountry) participated in the challenge and were joined by school mascot Wilma. RISE has also partnered with USC, and its women’s basketball team will be hosting the next Unity Game on Sunday, Jan. 21, when the team plays UC Berkeley.

After a very disappointing end to its 2017 season, Arizona softball is looking ahead to the 2018 campaign. “I think our team is super excited,” said junior pitcher Taylor McQuillinsaid at the team’s annual media day. “This last month leading up to season is the most crucial part of the season itself, so just getting prepared and ready to go for Feb. 9, our first game.” The team looks to advance farther than last year after losing in the NCAA Super Regionals to then-No. 17 Baylor in a bestof-three series. In the crucial game three, the Wildcats saw a 5-3 lead disappear in the top of the seventh inning as they let up three runs that proved to be the difference in the 6-5 loss. Wildcats players still haven’t forgetten about that night. “I think it still sits there, in everyone’s mind,” McQuillan said. “But it’s in the past now. We gotta move forward from it.” Every year brings a new team, and because of their deep roster, this year’s team has the ability to be one of the more versatile in the nation. “I’m toying with a few things right now,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “The one thing about this team is that we have 23 kids on our roster right now, and so we have a lot of different options, and if I told you who was going to start the first game of the season, I would be lying to you right now.” The ‘Cats will be welcoming seven freshman to the team, and the only seniors returning are Robyn Porter and Ashleigh Hughes. Candrea was also able to land two transfers from Louisiana-Lafayette, senior Aleah Craighton and sophomore
Alyssa Denham. Craighton is a two-time All-American outfielder, while Denham, a right-handed pitcher, is the reigning Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year. When asked what she thought her role would be, Denham replied she was open. “I’m not exactly sure yet,” she said. “But I’m going to do whatever they ask me to do, whether it’s play or support; I’m going to fill every role.” While the new recruits and transfers offer several boosts to the roster, one that Candrea is especially looking forward to is the boost in speed. “I think the thing you’re going to see this year that we have added is a little more overall speed,” he said. “I like that because speed never goes into a slump. It’s usually something you can count on each and every game.” One new face to keep an eye on as the season nears is outfielder Jenna Kean. Out of Los Alamitos, California, the freshman, who was lauded by Candrea for the speed she brings, was ranked at No. 44 in her recruiting class by FloSoftball. According to Arizona Athletics, she had a .600 hitting percentage to go along with five RBIs and seven stolen bases as a high school senior. “She brings someone who is legitimately a 2.7, 2.8-[second] runner down the line, which makes her tough to throw out if she hits the ball in play,” Candrea said of Kean. The “new year, new us” mindset seemed to reign supreme in the minds of all the players on media day, as they tried to put last season in the rear view mirror. More importantly, they’re just excited to get this year rolling. “It’s a new year now, and I’m excited to see what this team has made for us,” said sophomore infielder Jessie Harper. “It should be an interesting new year.”

Instant Replay Arizona men’s basketball will be taking on Utah and Colorado for the second time this season. What’s different from when they first met?
SIMON ASHER/ THE DAILY WILDCAT COLORADO MEN’S BASKETBALL HEAD coach Tad Boyle (left). Arizona’s Dusan Ristic shows emotion after a teammate completed a 3-pointer (middle). Arizona’s Dylan Smith, 3, jumps to lay in the ball past Utah’s Gabe Bealer, 30 (right).
BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
Bad Boyle Following a week-long sweep of the northern California schools, the Arizona men’s basketball team is preparing for a matchup with the lone team to beat them in the Pac12: Colorado. As you may or may not have heard, Buffaloes head coach Tad Boyle doesn’t appear to be a fan of Arizona, specifically their involvement in the FBI probe within college basketball along with USC. When asked if the win over Arizona on Jan. 6 meant more because of the investigation, Boyle’s response was not subtle. “Hell yes, there’s extra satisfaction. I’ve got great respect for Sean, hell of a coach. I’ve got great respect for [USC head coach] Andy Enfield. But to answer your question: hell yes,” Boyle said. Arizona head coach Sean Miller had no such enthusiasm when asked about it during Monday’s press conference with the media. Instead, Miller chose
to point out that every game is important and that they look forward to playing the Buffaloes. “You know, my focus is just on coaching our team, and that’s the thing that you learn, being able to take a group from one game to the next,” Miller said. “We have to be a better team this time around, more ready for the game than we were last time, and that’s my focus.” On the other hand, Enfield mentioned Boyle’s comments following the Trojan’s win a week later over Colorado. In fact, he called a timeout with just seconds on the clock and USC in full control. Boyle wasn’t amused and said the Buffaloes wouldn’t forget that moment. We’ve seen that movie before and may just see it again. It’s the storyline fans have grown to expect from Miller. Just last season, Miller retaliated with his own “organized” timeout as the Wildcats were beating UCLA in the Pac-12 Tournament, a move that was payback for the same action in McKale Center as the Bruins were on their way to victory two weeks prior.
Ristic’s Rise Dusan Ristic has been on the other end of the criticism spectrum often. However, the seven-footer from Serbia saved Arizona with clutch, timely baskets versus Stanford and is perhaps playing the best basketball of his career. With so much attention focused on the lack of bench production, one has to ask: Is it really a factor if all five guys are pouring in double-digits on a routine basis? Ristic appears to have taken a note out of the Deandre Ayton book of “take no prisoners.” His toughness has come through inside and manifested itself from what used to be turnovers to much-needed points. A major coup for Arizona, especially when Ayton and Ristic play well together. “Just playing against [Ayton] in practice helps me a little bit more; I am just trying to be more physical,” Ristic said. “I don’t think I have shown my best yet, but I am just trying to be that type of player now.” At the onset of the season, the two appeared to have difficulty
figuring out how to play with each other. Faced with different types of zones, the duo seems to have figured out how to navigate the multiple defenses by use of elbow jumpers, fundamental footwork and a nice touch. Perhaps they have only scratched the surface. Arizona hopes so. Smith’s subtle contribution Dylan Smith is not afraid. At least it doesn’t appear so. This has resulted in a mixed bag of production early on in the season. But as the Wildcats passed the halfway mark of the college basketball year, so too did Smith. His production and effort against the Bay Area schools resulted in two wins, but each game was highlighted by different outputs, each impacting the game. Versus Cal, Smith was on fire from three — 4-for-4 to be exact — as he replaced Rawle Alkins, who was out with an injured foot for precautionary reasons. The perimeter-shooting Smith provided was essential to Arizona blowing out of a downtrodden Golden Bears squad.
Against Stanford, Smith was quiet until the game reached its lowest point and the Wildcats were facing an 11-point deficit with just over nine minutes to go. During a stretch that saw Arizona battle back, Smith had a baseline jumper, corner three and a big offensive rebound, which led to a no-look pass to Ristic for two. “Recently, I would say the last three or four weeks more so than any other time, Dylan has shown some growth in those things we are really asking him to embrace as a member of our team,” Miller said. “We’re not just judging him on shooting or how many baskets he’s scored … [We’re] trying to really make sure he knows that, on this team, in his role, those things that sometimes are chalked up to be little are really big.” Smith’s one nemesis has been a penchant for turning the ball over. However, as the season has progressed, it appears he has moved past all others as the main man off the bench for a team with limited production off the pine.

Speak up!
Following national women’s marches across the country, the women of the Daily Wildcat sports desk share their perspectives as female sports journalists
One of my many dreams is to be an NCAA hockey coach, and later a pro coach, so naturally I took a position teaching a similar sport, lacrosse, to elementary school kids. The second I introduced myself to the students as their coach, I was met with frowns and displeased grunts of “we can’t have a girl coach; girls don’t know anything about lacrosse.” It was then it became painfully obvious that a stigma surrounding my biology was still real. Somehow, someone might think the presence of a uterus (among other things) could affect my decisions on what players I scratch, what systems I implement and what players I recruit. It was an odd moment, because I’d never been stopped for my gender before. I’d always been the best in my field. I’d never been stopped. But truthfully, I wasn’t actually stopped by these elementary kids and their stone-aged thinking. I was still smarter, more skilled — and their coach. What they say and think is only their perception of what I am, not what I actually am. Six-year-old boys and 60-year-old men can complain all they want about a girl knowing more than them, because I know I do, and they can’t stop me.
— Rachel Huston, sports editor
Being a woman in sports journalism comes with many challenges and obstacles, with it being such a male-dominated field. There is the impression that since I am a female sports reporter I may not know as much as my male counterparts, and I therefore have to prove myself a little more. For the past four decades, women have continued to aim for equality and to be taken seriously, and although women have taken steps for change, there is still much to be done. Yes, men may have had more opportunity to play sports growing up, but I enjoy the challenge of learning about sports and telling the stories of the athletes. For me, being involved with sports journalism at the University of Arizona and the opportunity to cover sports for the Daily Wildcat has given me the learning opportunites and strength to enter the field professionally as a woman when I graduate. — Syrena Tracy,
senior reporter
As much as some of us would like to believe that sexism is hardly prevalent anymore, or that gender stereotypes don’t affect people on a daily basis, the fact remains that sexism can be found in everyday conversations, even if it doesn’t overtly present itself as such. As a woman pursuing an engineering degree, I’m definitely in the minority. While I haven’t faced any obvious sexism in any of my classes here at the University of Arizona, I have definitely received some surprised faces in response when I tell people my major. When I tell people I aspire to go to medical school, I often find myself explaining why I wouldn’t rather be a nurse instead. While I definitely don’t let my female identity stop me from participating in activities or from striving toward my goals, it’s also not my main motivator. I’m not in engineering just because I’m female, and I’m not a sports reporter just because I’m a girl. I’m a STEM major because I truly love science, and I’m a sports reporter because sports have always been a big part of my life. Realizing that there is much more to our identity than male or female is an important step in eliminating strict boxes, boxes we either force ourselves into or let others put us into. — Kelly McCarthy,
beat reporter

COMMENTARY
Add gender distinction to men’s sports competitions to level playing field SPORTS
BY MAX COHEN @MaxCohen_DW
T
he NCAA, PGA, FIFA and the NBA all favor male athletes. These athletic institutions have their marquee championships like March Madness, the World Cup or, in terms of leagues, the National Basketball Association. Then they have Women’s March Madness, the Women’s World Cup and the Women’s National Basketball Association. The verbal distinction of gender for the women’s versions, but no distinction for the men’s competitions, shows that there is the regular, main championship, and then there’s the “other” event. In a “60 Minutes” special on American soccer star
Christian Pulisic, it was mentioned that the U.S. has never won a World Cup. Twitter was quick to correct this possible error. The U.S. Women’s National Team won the World Cup three times. Was the statement accurate? Did the WNT win the World Cup, or the Women’s World Cup? And if the latter is true, what’s the difference? Sports Illustrated soccer writer Grant Wahl responded to that Twitter outrage by tweeting, “Think it’s time that we print folks start calling the tournaments ‘men’s World Cup’ and ‘women’s World Cup’.” Wahl received a mixed response for taking ownership, along with his colleagues, for creating the social change. There were many positive comments, including several that advocated for referring to the tournaments by simply the year. Others remarked how unnecessary they felt the changes would be. Finally, one man commented on
how inferior he feels women’s soccer is to men’s. “why? LETS ALL PLAY TOGETOHER Only reason we watch is women world cup is to see boobs,” @ jackshelton1981 replied to Wahl’s tweet. Possibly the best response to the initial tweet was from Jeff Rothermitch, who pointed out how big the difference in competition is between the two senior national teams. “Why don’t we just call it ‘the soccer event the US men hope to make’ and ‘the soccer event the US women hope to win’,” Rothermitch suggested. The distinction of “women” simply lets fans know how much less coverage, funding and excitement the event gets compared to the competition without the gender in the name. Adding the gender to the name of men’s competitions is at least a start to changing the disparity between the sexes in sport. — Max Cohen is the women’s soccer and softball beat writer for the Daily Wildcat.
