Pima County strikes Monsanto discussion BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
The Pima County Board of Supervisors pulled discussion of a deal with the Monsanto Company from their meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Facing public dissent, Monsanto and the Board of Supervisors withdrew their incentive agreement to bring the international agrochemical company to Tucson. At this point, Monsanto has no obstacles in moving forward with the project other than a lack of tax breaks. After Monsanto’s decision not to pursue tax breaks, public opposition cannot be further channeled through the authority of the supervisors. Before the withdrawal statement on Feb. 15, the supervisors planned to discuss and vote on Monsanto’s proposal, the formation of an agricultural community advisory committee and a memorandum of understanding. After Monsanto’s statement, County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry requested to remove these subjects from the Feb. 21 agenda. This included a memorandum which would have provided quarterly, voluntary and public reporting of Monsanto’s operations. “Monsanto Company remains committed to partnering with the community in Pima County and we look forward to working with you in the future,” George Gough, Monsanto’s director of government affairs, said in a letter to Huckelberry. Monsanto and Pima County began discussions in March 2016 to build a sevenacre greenhouse on part of the 155 acres the company owns in Marana, Arizona. The research facility and farm would be used to develop new corn seed strains year-round. Huckelberry submitted a memorandum in Nov. 2016 to the Board of Supervisors recommending they approve lower property taxes under a Foreign Trade Zone agreement in order to incentivize Monsanto to complete the project. Under FTZ, Monsanto would have paid a 5
percent property tax rate for 10 years instead of the usual 15 percent rate. Even with this lower rate, the county would collect more tax revenue on the land. “The Monsanto proposal serves to expand the tax base and create jobs, while not risking the resident of Pima County’s health, safety or welfare,” Huckelberry said in his memoranda. Monsanto promised to spend $90 million in developing the facility and hire 25 fulltime and 25 part-time employees with average annual salaries of $44,000 and $35,000, respectively. “The proposal brings jobs—there are 50 jobs associated with it—to the community and it increases the tax base,” said Mark Evans, Pima County public communications manager. According to Evans, the deal will also affect the tax rate of Pima County residents since the community can raise the same amount of money at a lower rate with the taxes from Monsanto. One of the major benefactors from the increased tax revenue will be the Marana School District. Monsanto has also pledged to donate $500,000 to the district’s educational foundation, according to Huckelberry. Not everyone in the community supported providing tax breaks to Monsanto or their plan to open operations in Pima County. Megan Mills-Novoa, a member of the leadership council of the Pima County Food Alliance, began a Change.org petition against Monsanto tax breaks, which has garnered 2,076 signatures. “We believe this deal is a threat to our local food system and our recent designation as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy,” Mills-Novoa wrote in her petition. Signatories of the petition reflected MillsNovoa’s concerns of a lack of transparency by the supervisors and the risk of corporate interests overshadowing the local community. “It’s no secret Monsanto’s predatory nature and history of harassment and litigation against small local farmers,” Jennifer Linden, a local Tucsonan, wrote when she signed the

petition in November of 2016. In response to public outcry, the supervisors organized five town hall meetings in order to allow the community a chance to share their voice. Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., shared the opposition to the proposed tax incentives. “Monsanto’s legacy of toxic environmental impacts, heavy-handed approaches to farmers’ reuse of seeds and $80 million in SEC fines for this year alone raise serious concerns,” Grijalva said in a letter to supervisors. Gough responded to the concerns raised by the public in a letter to Huckelberry in December 2016 on behalf of Monsanto. “We welcome a genuine constructive conversation with diverse ideas and perspectives about food and agriculture
production,” Gough said. He described the company’s plans to construct a sustainable facility which utilizes the Arizona climate to its advantage. Gough also provided sources to help assure residents of the environmental safety of the operation and touted its proposed economic benefit to the community. The supervisors’ response to public opinion on the deal was limited by the law. According to a memorandum created by John Moffat, director and Patrick Cavanaugh, deputy director of the Pima County Economic Development Office, the supervisors could not stop Monsanto from buying land or constructing a greenhouse and have limited regulatory authority over Monsanto use of the land.

toys are not cheap. Quality vibrators cost upwards of $200. Lastly, the conversation went in-depth on porn and how people are over-sexualized and fetishized. “Pornography is a very damaging, fucked up, and problematic way of consuming sex,” community member Karlyn Bradley said. “It fetishizes people of color and trans folks and people with certain bodies. It’s also white as fuck. There’s this Eurocentric idea of beauty standards in mainstream porn. On one hand it’s great that we have access to this, on the other hand, what do we have access to? What are the messages that
are being said about specific peoples’ bodies?” Bradley continued to elaborate on how porn is marketed toward white males and questioning what happens if you don’t fit that mold. Desires of other groups are not recognized unless they pleasure men. Overall, masturbation can be a form of self-love and a way to become comfortable with your own body. While the idea is the same for most individuals, the execution is different for everybody. It just depends on how much you want to explore your body and your sexuality. “I think just overall

Hundreds protest Monsanto in Tucson BY HENRY CARSON @DailyWildcat
Protesters gathered early Tuesday morning in downtown Tucson in opposition to the Monsanto Company’s proposed greenhouse project in Pima County. Monsanto, infamous for its controversial agricultural chemicals and genetically modified crops, rescinded its tax cut request from the Pima County Board of Supervisors last week. However, this will not prevent them from developing on the 155 acres the company owns in Marana, Arizona. Rachel Linden, director of GMO Free Arizona and an organizer of the protest, spoke about the environmental concerns of letting agrochemical giant Monsanto set up in Pima County in the context of the agricultural industry. “The industry is moving to harsher and harsher chemicals,” Linden said. “Where are they going to test those? They’re going to test them right here in Pima County unless the citizens band together.” The protest started at 8 a.m. on Feb. 21 outside of the Pima County Administration Building in downtown Tucson. At 9 a.m., the demonstrators went into the board meeting where several speakers, including a molecular biologist and a Vietnam veteran, expressed their concerns about Monsanto to
the board. “I’m a vegan and we only get so many choices as to what we do that affects our lives, and what we eat is one of those choices,” said protester Ashlyn Campbell. Campbell, who lives nearby the location of the proposed greenhouse, wants to keep Monsanto out of Pima County to protect local food sources. “I think that making sure we have options for food that’s healthy and that’s good for us is so important, and a company like Monsanto takes away from those options,” Campbell said. “They make it really hard to get organic, healthy foods.” The proposed seven-acre greenhouse would be used to grow corn and soybeans for research, according to Monsanto spokesperson Christi Dixon. It is unknown what the company plans to do with the remaining 148 acres. Another protester, Clay Morgan, said one important way to keep Monsanto out of Pima County is to focus more attention on local farming. “I think it would be a better example if we showed what happens when we reinvest in local agriculture and what happens when you make food a center point for your community and for your city,” Morgan said. Pima County held several public meetings to discuss Monsanto’s request for a tax break before the company withdrew their

request. Those who spoke to the board at Tuesday’s meeting expressed their dismay at Monsanto’s plans to develop the land, despite rescinding their property tax arrangement. Though the board has heard many concerned citizens express concerns over the possible environmental, economic and public
health consequences, the board has limited regulatory power over Monsanto’s project. “The world is watching what happens in Pima County,” Linden said in a speech to protesters. “They’re looking at us to keep Monsanto out. If we can keep them out here, we can keep them out everywhere.”
UA professors to conduct refugee flow study Alex Braithwaite and Faten Ghosn will study the movements of refugees to determine how they make decisions and their impacts on foreign countries BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
Two UA professors have received almost $1.4 million in a Minerva Initiative grant from the Department of Defense to conduct a threeyear research project examining “refugee flows and instability.” Alex Braithwaite, associate professor in the School of Government and Public Policy, and Faten Ghosn, associate professor in the School of Government and Public Policy and the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies, will conduct their research in conjunction with Shane Johnson, deputy head of the University College of London’s Department of Security and Crime Science. The Syrian Civil War and the conflict’s refugees have become a politicized topic in the United States. President Donald Trump’s now-halted travel ban barred any from entering the country. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, “34,000 people are
forcibly displaced every day as a result of conflict or persecution.” “In general, we are investigating why do refugees flee, where do they go and what impact do they have on the areas they move to,” Ghosn said. The project will be divided into three components, each managed by a member of the team. The majority, 60 percent, of the funding will remain at the UA while 40 percent will go to UCL. The money will be used to bring on graduate students and others to help conduct the research. Ghosn will travel to Lebanon to interview 4,500 individuals, Lebanese government officials and international agencies involved with refugees. She plans to give a survey to 2,500 former Lebanese refugees and 2,000 Syrian refugees living in camps in Lebanon. Ghosn plans to study how an individual’s social network contributes to their decision to flee. She said the decision of a mayor or
prominent figure to flee may explain why some villages in close proximity saw residents flee while others did not. When talking to government officials, Ghosn plans to ask what policies they believe are needed and which have worked well when addressing the implications of massive influxes of refugees in Lebanon. Lebanon is the perfect place to conduct the survey because their 4.5 million civilians contain a number of former refugees from the Lebanese Civil War and their country supports 1.5 million Syrian refugees fleeing the violence. “My team will be collating existing data on global refugee flows between all countries and then collecting our own data on the subnational location of refugee populations globally,” Braithwaite said in an email. Braithwaite will collect data on refugee movements from the years 1990 to 2015 or from the ending of the Lebanese Civil War through the start of the Syrian Civil War. As principal investigator, Braithwaite will manage the project and report results
to the government. Johnson will use the data obtained by Braithwaite and Ghosn to produce probability and forecasting models. “We have over 65 million people considered refugees, displaced and asylum seekers and it is creating a global security issue,” Ghosn said. She hopes the research project will help fill the gaps in information about refugees and positively contribute context to the ongoing policy debate surrounding refugees. Braithwaite added the project will examine “whether refugees are perpetrators or (more likely) victims of violence in their host countries.” Ghosn said the U.S. government helped fund the research because of the potential impact of humanitarian crises on their allies and interest beyond U.S. borders. Minerva Research Initiative promotes international collaboration on research focused on U.S. security. Ghosn said the project falls under one of Minerva’s broad topics of interest dealing with social mobility and decision making.

POLICE BEAT
Located in the
BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33
Out the window University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall around 3 p.m. on Feb. 16 when a resident assistant reported an odor of marijuana coming from the second floor. Police knocked on the door with the strongest odor, heard shuffling and saw shadows through the peephole. When officers knocked again, they noticed the peephole was blocked and heard a voice say, “there are police outside.” Two female residents opened the door and allowed the officers to enter. The residents admitted they had marijuana and when asked where it was, one said she threw it out the window. Another officer went to retrieve the pouch, which held cigarettes and a pipe with residue in the bowl. One resident told officers she contacts her source via Snapchat to buy marijuana but denied having any more marijuana or paraphernalia in the room. Police checked the room and found additional marijuana and paraphernalia. Residents were placed under arrest for possession of marijuana. DUI etiquette A UAPD officer on Feb. 15 observed a white truck approach his cruiser around 2 a.m. in the median with its headlights off. The vehicle was drifting in and out of turn lanes and a Yellow Cab driver flagged the officer down by pointing at the white truck, which was swerving and striking the curb. The officer activated his siren in an attempt to stop the truck while the driver turned into a parking lot, misjudged the turn and hit the curb again. When the officer approached the truck, the driver stuck his hand outside of the window, giving the officer the “peace” sign. The driver told police he didn’t know why he was pulled over and looked shocked when police told him he had been swerving. The officer noticed the driver smelled of alcohol and asked him to turn the vehicle off and hand him the keys. The driver could not pull the ignition key out as the vehicle was still in drive. After multiple failed attempts, the officer told the man to exit the vehicle and administered several field sobriety tests. Police asked the man to do a walkand-turn exercise where nine steps were required. The driver turned and said, “I can take three, but I’m not going to do all nine.” The driver was unable to take three steps and moved onto the 30-second, oneleg stand exercise. He gave up after seven seconds and stood for the rest of the time. The driver failed all administered sobriety tests and when asked if he understood his Miranda Rights, said he had “no idea.” The officer did not ask incriminating questions but placed the driver under arrest for DUI to the slightest degree and cited him for two civil traffic violations.

Tucson shouldn’t appeal the World View decision BY TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat
O
ver the last year, space travel fanatics have been looking to Tucson for several reasons, not the least of which has been the construction of Spaceport Tucson. World View is a company that focuses on developing high-altitude balloons that conduct research in the stratosphere, about 30 kilometers above Earth’s surface. Eventually, the company plans to offer balloon rides into the stratosphere for 75,000 dollars a seat. Not only did the scientific community find interest in the spaceport, but it also caught the attention of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, who saw the spaceport as a potential economic and touristic boon. The Pima County Board of Supervisors is a five-person panel responsible for public policy in the region, especially regarding guidance for economic development. The board pushed World View to locate their spaceport in Tucson, which meant giving the company a good deal to settle here. However, their deal has not gone as smoothly as hoped. In the 2015 bond election, Pima County voters overwhelmingly denied all six measures to fund economic development and tourism. In January of 2016, four of the five members on the board still voted to sell 15 million dollars worth of bonds to build World View’s facilities, a move that some claimed went behind the backs of voters. This got the board in legal trouble; the Goldwater Institute sued the board for violating state law and the state constitution, and won in the Superior Court on all counts. This month, though, the board voted to appeal the ruling. While the spaceport would likely benefit Tucson and the county, the people and the courts have spoken on this issue. Pima County is wrong in appealing the Arizona

Superior Court’s ruling. The appeal, first of all, probably will not move the County’s deal forward. When the case was discussed at the Superior Court, the Honorable Catherine Woods ruled that public expenditures had to be for public purposes and that “general economic development” did not fall under the category of “public purposes.’” Pretty explicitly, the board violated the law by giving millions of dollars to a private company’s purposes. Even if the county were to win on this count, the Goldwater Institute also previously looked to sue based on the county’s violation of the State Constitution’s Gift Clause, which states that the county cannot give or loan credit to a corporation. The deal as it stands necessitates mortgaging county buildings and loaning nearly 20 million dollars of

county money to World View, again fairly explicitly violating state law. Importantly, the county does not even need to win the appeal to work with World View. In fact, the Goldwater Institute said that if the county simply followed the proper procedure to lease the land, they could renegotiate the lease, legally. For the county, this would mean getting the spaceport building appraised, holding a public auction and setting the rate for the lease no lower than 90 percent of its value. These requirements were originally ignored. Now, though, the county can follow these stipulations and legally work with World View. World View will also likely stay in Tucson despite losing this particular deal with the county. In response to the ruling, the company told NASA that “Our commitment is to continue to work closely
with Pima County, the City of Tucson and the State of Arizona to fully realize the vision of a thriving spaceport and aerospace corridor in Southern Arizona.” The economic benefit to Tucsonans would not diminish if the county doesn’t appeal the case. Although the money that World View uses will likely have to come from its own company or through loans, this would protect Pima County voters in the end. The previous deal did not have any protections if World View defaulted on its end of the deal. Therefore, if it pulled out of the project, Pima County would lose millions of dollars and the taxpayers would be required to make it up. Renegotiating the deal will leave World View accountable only to itself and the county accountable to its voters. This is likely the best and only feasible option for moving forward with the spaceport.

Performance drugs in sports: A quiet reality Because of its prevalence and health risks, performance enhancing drug use is a global challenge BY MALIK SHELP @malikshelp
For weeks news of Allonzo Trier’s run-in with performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) dominated the collegiate sports headlines and occupied commentators around the country. From college basketball to the Tour de France, PEDs pop up no matter what sport you follow. The Mayo Clinic estimates that 1 in 20 teenagers uses steroids to aid muscle growth. But when penalties range from temporary suspension to being removed from future competition and stripped of awards, it would be fair to ask why doping is worth it. The answer can be broken down into two areas: First, the benefits that athletes can gain from PEDs outweigh the risks in their mind. Second, the supplement market is so poorly monitored that access is very easy. Dr. Farshad “Mazda” Shirazi, emergency medicine associate professor and medical director of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center, explained; “the supplement market is not regulated and is over the counter so what you buy could be tainted with performanceenhancing drugs.” Pharmaceutical companies can get away with including trace amounts of performance enhancing drugs because they are not federally regulated and it boosts the company’s image that their product works better than the competitors—even if for an illicit reason. If you buy protein powder that is laced with a performance enhancing drug such as anabolic steroids, you would see much better results than with that of a protein that is clean of PEDs. Because the supplement market is not federally regulated, it is up to the public

to demand the regulation of supplements to maintain the integrity of our athletes’ performances and everyday fitness needs. Despite the high profile of the Trier episode, PEDs are usually not a huge issue within collegiate sports. In fact, they are more challenging with high school athletes. While governmental regulations may be lax, universities often issue strict regulations and consequences for athletes who consume PEDs. This is why universities frequently have teams of sports nutritionists to make sure that all supplements are not tainted in any shape or form.
Shirazi noted with high school athletes there is a pressure to perform at an exceptional level to obtain scholarships to play at a university. But most high schools are not equipped with full sports nutrition staff and lack the background to properly educate their students on supplement use. The Daily Wildcat attempted to contact four representatives of UA Athletics to learn how they deal with the issue of PEDs, but two refused comment and two did not return our messages. It was not only administrators that refused to comment.
UA athletes themselves are prohibited from discussing the motives or perspectives on PED use. While PEDs can ruin careers and affect the integrity of a sports department, the potential health damage from long-term use of these largely unregulated substances cannot be overstated. Although one-time use may not have many harmful effects, Shirazi explained “in men, anabolic steroids can cause skin changes such as zits and pimples, increase a male’s natural testosterone and can even affect the temperament of individuals. In women, it
can cause them to grow hair and become increasingly more masculine.” Students should wary of what supplements—such as protein powder, pre-workout formula and vitamins—they are ordering from Amazon, because without conducting their own laboratory testing, the only option is to trust the manufacturer’s word. However, given proper nutrition, hydration and multivitamins, most people can achieve their fitness goals without resorting to more unsound substances. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

‘Forgiven, as long as it never happens again’ On the 75th anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066, the Japanese internment camps of America’s past still stir up emotion and a desire to learn from history BY VICTOR HERRERA @DailyWildcat
Feb. 19 marked the 75th anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066, which lead to the internment of thousands of JapaneseAmericans living along the West Coast of the U.S. during World War II. The Tucson Desert Art Museum held a “Day of Remembrance” featuring guest speakers, as well as an exhibit featuring photographs by Paul Kitagaki, Jr. Among the guest speakers was Susie Matsunaga, whose mother was held in an internment camp for a number of years. She described what conditions were like for her mother and the others who were held in the camps. “The barracks were less than minimal,” Matsunaga said. “It was a makeshift room that was put up real quick; families had to live in one room. It didn’t matter how big the family was ... they had as many single beds in that room so that they could live in it.” Matsunaga said that her mother’s experience inside the camps helped Americanize her and many others who were also interned. She said their experience inside the camps was the first time many of them became exposed to American food. While there were some elements of Japanese culture present at the camps, it was a far cry from the culture they were able to express at home. “It was wrong, it was an injustice and it affected a lot of lives and it actually handicapped a lot of people.” said Terry Matsunaga, husband of Susie Matsunaga. Many innocent lives were changed when Order 9066 came into effect. The order forced many to leave their jobs and homes, and some even had to drop out of school or were expelled. “My father started at a community college; he had to withdraw after his first semester because he was taken to camp,” Terry said. Although all those who were placed in internment camps were eventually released, many had a difficult time adapting back to the life they once had before the camps. “My father was a little bit inhibited; he never liked to socialize outside of his own circle of friends who happened to be more of his own ethnic origin,” he said. For those who had originally attended college prior to being held in internment camps, returning to college or university simply wasn’t an option. They had lost years of their lives living in the camps, and those who did return to school found their task much more difficult in the years after the war. “What I found was that for some, and for many, it was a very difficult transition to come back to society,” Terry said. For him, the photos presented in the

exhibition ultimately bring forth a much more pressing question. “What would life have been like had they not been incarcerated for three-and-a-half years?” he asked. Some were able to find success once they were released from the camps, and despite what had happened, many tried to make the best out of a bad situation. “It made them that much more determined to make things better for themselves and especially for their children,” Susie said. There were also others at the event who saw a reflection of what happened a little more than 70
years ago in the current political environment. “There are things happening today where people are using other peoples’ religion, their ethnicity, their sexual orientation or their sex as reasons to discriminate,” said Dick Keil, who attended the event. Keil said it is important for young people to attend events such as “Day of Remembrance” so they can understand and learn from the past. “It gives us an opportunity to learn from other people’s successes and mistakes,” he said. Kail also stated that the same social prejudices and injustices which led to the internment of thousands of
Japanese-Americans in the 1940s are still active today against other groups of people. He said that putting people in jail for their race or ethnicity is frightening. “If we don’t learn [from the past], we are being unfair or untrue to our own country’s values,” he said. After all that has happened, people are still willing to forgive the events of the past. The idea of forgiveness was echoed in both those who spoke and attended the event. “They are able to take the high road and forgive as long as it never happens again,” Terry said.

Eating Disorders – Are You Aware? Food and body image thoughts can impact relationships, what you attempt to do, how happy you feel, and even how you take care of yourself. Eating disorders are mental health issues with specific psychological diagnoses. They are at the far end of the continuum of food and body image thinking that progresses from wellminded to concerned, to preoccupied, then obsessed, and finally disordered. It is a varied path to becoming truly disordered, but the sooner you are aware of the direction you are heading and get help, the quicker you are on the road to recovery. Truly regaining control over your life will bring peace with your body and give you freedom to engage in your treasured relationships and goals. At the National Eating Disorders Association website, search for “7 Signs That You or Someone You Care About May be Struggling with an Eating Disorder.” Also, under the “Learn” tab, you will find a wealth of information for those who are suffering, their friends, families, treatment providers, educators, and coaches.

THE FRED FOX SCHOOL of Music on Tuesday Feb. 21 evening. The school is hosting the 2017 Graduate Student Music Conference.
Musicology conference melds scholarship, activism BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
The Fred Fox School of Music is hosting its 2017 Graduate Student Music Conference, “Musicology Across Boundaries,” on Feb. 24 and 25. The conference, organized by a committee of eight graduate students and their adviser, will feature a keynote address, workshop and 14 presentations on musicology and related scholarship work. This is the School of Music’s second graduate student conference using DR. TAMRA LEVITZ funds from the Daveen Fox Endowed Chair for Music Studies. The idea for this year’s conference was to incorporate all areas of scholarship and focus on innovation and cross-disciplinary expansion, according to Kathy Acosta Zavala, a Ph.D. candidate in musicology and the chair of the conference’s planning committee Dr. Tamara Levitz from the University of California, Los Angeles, will give the keynote address, titled “Academic Musicologists as Civil Rights Activists: Facing a Trump Presidency.” Acosta Zavala said the keynote address will include a discussion of effective activism in musicology and a history of musicology in activism and scholarship. In addition to the focus on crossdisciplinary expansion, the title of the conference also plays off of the topic of Levitz’s keynote address. “[The title] was also reflective of what we knew she was going to be bringing to the table, which is actually not only innovative
but so, so important for us, especially musicians, all kinds of artists in general,” Acosta Zavala said. “Where do we fit in in the new political environment and what can we do to contribute?” Levitz will also hold a workshop at the conference titled “‘The Role of the Public Intellectual’: A Critical Workshop on Public Musicology.” The workshop is about how to effectively bring together scholarship and activism. “She’s just such an amazing scholar and so open to students,” Acosta Zavala said of Levitz. While the workshop is open only to registered conference participants, anyone can attend the other presentations, which are divided into five panels by topic. The presentations range from covering the Americas to discussing music and technology. “It’s really immersing the current scholarship and innovation in our own university and giving all the students here the opportunity to see this research first hand,” Acosta Zavala said. The conference will talk about scholarship that ties in the contextual upbringing of the music in addition to the music itself. “I think the main thing that we want the students coming to this conference and the community to realize is that we are activists in our own way,” Acosta Zavala said. The first panel will start at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 24, in Room 146 in the Fred Fox School of Music. Students from the UA Bolton Guitar Studies Program will perform a concert at 4 p.m. in Holsclaw Hall before the keynote address at 4:30 p.m. Panels four and five will start at 9:40 a.m. and 3 p.m., respectively, on Saturday, Feb. 25, in Room 146. The workshop will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday in Room 146. The conference is open to the public with free admission.

Movies from 1987 celebrate dirty 30 BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat
The year 1987 produced an amazing lineup of films we know and love today. Familiar titles such as “Lethal Weapon,” “Fatal Attraction” and “Three Men and a Baby” are among some of the classic hits that were released 30 years ago. “Lethal Weapon” Starring Danny Glover as Roger Murtaugh and Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs, this movie is a buddy cop film that portrays a mismatched partnership between an older, more experienced cop and a younger cop turned suicidal following his wife’s untimely death. Filled with plenty of action and humor, this film was, and remains, a massive hit that is worth watching, whether it’s your first or hundredth time. These two polar opposites work to solve a case that also allows the men to bond as Murtaugh becomes a friend to Riggs, who simultaneously begins to heal and turns away from his suicidal tendencies. Who can forget the scene with Riggs leaping off a building with a mortified jumper reluctantly in tow? These two form a friendship that transpires over the course of the film, which also produced three sequels. A spinoff show of the series recently premiered in 2016. “Lethal Weapon” is available to watch on Hulu, along with its three sequels and the rebooted show. No one is too old to watch this “stuff.” “Stakeout” Continuing with the buddy cop genre, “Stakeout” was also released in 1987. This film starred Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez as detectives Chris Lecce and Bill Reimers. Set in Seattle, these two detectives are unwillingly assigned to the night shift as they watch over the ex-girlfriend of an escaped convict. Through a series of circumstances,
Dreyfuss’s character falls for the ex-girlfriend, Maria McGuire. Hilarity ensues as Dreyfuss’s character suffers the misfortune of juggling two identities to keep his cover while simultaneously avoiding the consequences of breaking police ethics. This film produced a sequel, “Another Stakeout.” This film is available to rent on Amazon. “Three Men and a Baby” This is a comedy starring Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg as three roommates in New York that are suddenly faced with unexpected parenthood in the form of a baby girl. Danson portrays the baby’s father, who happens to be away filming in another country the morning the baby is left on their doorstep. Selleck and Guttenberg’s characters are left to deal with the baby’s needs initially as Selleck struggles to find the right kind of baby food and Guttenberg tries to calm the crying infant. In a whirlwind of events, these three men inadvertently become involved with drug dealers, attempt to evade the police who watch them for suspicious activity and realize that they cannot live without the baby in their lives when her mother suddenly returns to take her to London. This comedy will warm your heart and offer an inside look into unexpected parenthood and its results. A sequel is also available. This movie can be rented via DVD on Netflix or rented on Amazon. Of course, this only brushes upon the films released in 1987, but they’re just enough to get you started. Take a break from the everyday routine and opt for watching or re-watching these films. While you’re at it, take the opportunity to look up other 1987 films such as “Mannequin,” “Baby Boom,” “Adventures in Babysitting,” “Full Metal Jacket,” “Wall Street,” “Less Than Zero,” “Overboard” and “Over the Top,” just to name a few.
I don’t drink every day and I don’t need it to start the day, but when I party I like to party hard and I don’t turn down an opportunity to drink. A friend told me I might be an alcoholic... am I? Maybe, maybe not. We don’t have enough information to make that determination. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a medical professional to start answering your question. One simple option is to use the CAGE self-assessment: • Have you ever felt you should Cut down on your drinking? • Have you felt Annoyed by others criticizing your drinking? • Have you ever felt bad or Guilty about your drinking? • Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover (E ye opener)? One “yes” answer signals a possible problem, and more than one means check-up time. This may be a case of alcohol abuse vs. alcohol dependence. So how can you tell the difference? The following comparisons can help you determine this.
Substance Abuse Indicators: • A pattern of use with negative consequences and multiple incidents
• Using despite knowledge that use causes or contributes to problems • Use in situations that are physically dangerous • Moderation possible
Substance Dependence Indicators: • Tolerance • Periodic loss of control in terms of how much you use and/or behavior • Persistent desire or unsuccessful effort to cut down • Substance use despite knowledge that use causes or contributes to problems • Substance use criticized by family members or friends • Moderation doesn’t work People who abuse alcohol can limit the amount they drink when the consequences become severe enough. People who are truly dependent on alcohol cannot do this. If you are still wondering, then check it out. Don’t delay.

National stage set for ‘Cats and Bruins Wildcats will need a big weekend to take the first step toward Final Four BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
After 28 games, a slew of injuries and a little drama for good measure, here we are, on the doorstep of the biggest weekend for Arizona basketball in quite some time. The regular season Pac-12 Championship hangs in the balance, ripe for the Wildcats plucking—sorry for the Bill Waltonism. Assuming Arizona can take care of business against USC at home Thursday, the evil empire awaits on the other side in the form of the UCLA Bruins. A program steeped in tradition, a college basketball relic because of the John Wooden days and, most importantly, every bit as good as Arizona on paper. Take away the environment and the fans, these two teams would still battle each other to no end. This is how it is supposed to be. Sure Oregon is good, but traditional power they are not. They don’t belong in the conversation yet; two years of quality play doesn’t place you at the big boy table; it takes years to build those legs and attain the standard of excellence by which UCLA and Arizona live. There are those who will try and take away attention from this match up. Lavar Ball, father of UCLA’s Lonzo Ball, has done his damndest on the Pac-12 Network by claiming his son is better than Stephen Curry. What Ball failed to realize is that the Wildcat tradition extends well beyond just those who have donned the red and blue, it encompasses all that are within its glory. So as Steve Kerr coaches Steph Curry, he does so knowing that the ZonaZoo will unleash the fury on a kid barely old enough to drive, let alone be compared to a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player. The matchups Saturday are endless—Kadeem Allen vs. Ball, Bryce Alford vs. Allonzo Trier, Lauri Markkanen vs. T.J. Leaf, Sean Miller vs. Steve Alford and on and on. Every position is a must-see battle. Great games have many
different levels to their greatness, but this one is set up before the game has even started. An Arizona win means the Wildcats would have just ASU left on the road in Tempe. Assuming Oregon doesn’t falter, the Wildcats would be in line to win the Pac-12 regular season championship in the house that Sparky built. Pretty sweet considering all the court storming in the recent past. The Wildcats would also avoid having to go through both UCLA and Oregon to win the Pac-12 Tournament, instead leaving it up to those two to battle it out. And if that wasn’t enough, there is a very real scenario that could place Arizona as the No. 1 seed in the west, despite Gonzaga being undefeated. If the Wildcats can beat UCLA this week and avenge a loss against Oregon in the Pac12 Tournament, they will be
providing a much more fanfriendly route to Glendale for this year’s Final Four. For every great scenario, there is an unpleasing series of events that could work against the UA as well. Should Arizona lose to UCLA on Saturday, they almost guarantee a second seed in the Pac-12 Tournament and would also lose out on the Pac-12 regular season championship by virtue of a head-to-head tiebreaker with Oregon. The Wildcats, as of today, are one of the favorites to land the No. 1 seed in the South, according to Andy Katz of ESPN, but losing twice in the last two weeks, including the tournament, would prevent that. Arizona could go from No. 1 seed all the way down to a No. 3 or 4 seed if they should falter twice, especially to UCLA or Oregon. Watercooler talk has already run rampant with scenarios
of not only where Arizona could go but where UCLA and Oregon will end up, which could affect where the Wildcats are placed based on performance. And then there is a Gonzaga argument, which will be saved for another day. So much on the line can almost cloud a person from seeing what really matters and that would be the home finale in McKale Center and Senior Day. Kadeem Allen will be playing his final game in an Arizona uniform at home; it reeks of drama, doesn’t it? Arizona’s lone senior in a home game against a top-10 team— something could be in the air. The story virtually writes itself, but the Wildcats realize there are no fairytales if they don’t show up to play against a Bruin team hungry for revenge after losing at Pauley Pavilion just a few weeks ago.
In addition to Senior Day, a.k.a. Kadeem Allen Day, the Wildcats will host ESPN’s College Gameday Saturday morning. The chaos of so much going on in a weekend will be something for both teams to manage, and making the game bigger than it needs to be can put a lot of pressure on teams, but Arizona head coach Sean Miller has a plan for it—to ignore it. “There is really no preparation for that,” Miller said. “… If you talk about it, it’s a negative. There’s enough at stake when you play the game. Then when you start to play games within your own mind and you add things of an anxious nature it doesn’t help performance.” Miller’s out of sight, out of mind mentality should suit the Wildcats perfectly. The weekend is almost here. Buckle up, it should be fun.

ARIZONA’S KADEEM ALLEN 5 TAKES a shot between Trojan defenders in the Galen Center on Thursday, Jan. 19. The Wildcats face USC this Thursday in McKale Center.
Wildcats wise to not overlook USC BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
In what is expected to be the most crucial weekend for the No. 4 Arizona Wildcats taking on No. 5 UCLA, don’t look forward to Saturday just yet. It’s difficult to shy away from focusing on the first top-5 matchup in the Pac-12 Conference since 2008 and the highest ranked opponent to come into McKale Center since Florida in 2012, but there is still the matter of USC before we get to that matchup. USC comes in on a two-game losing skid against fellow Pac-12 superiors at home versus Oregon and embarrassed by 32 points on the road against UCLA. The Trojans are hungry and are at the point in the season where every loss matters. USC sits in fifth place of the Pac-12 and is currently a projected No. 10 seed in the East bracket of the NCAA Tournament, but its seed is dropping, according to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi. What better way to improve that bubble resume than to have a road win against an Arizona team that will most likely be a top-3 seed. The last time Arizona and USC met was a month ago in Los Angeles when the Wildcats nearly gave up a 23-point lead. Lauri Markkanen banked in a 3-pointer off the glass with 33 seconds left to secure the win, and the Wildcats narrowly avoided disaster. Since then, Markkanen went on a five-game slump shooting 5-for-25 before scoring 45 points and gathering 24 rebounds last weekend against the
Washington schools. Markkanen was crucial for a wounded Arizona team who lost Kadeem Allen with a dislocated pinky and Dusan Ristic with a level-one lateral ankle sprain. “[Markkanen] was big this week, because we were shorthanded, because we played two road games. We’re late in the conference season and he was terrific in both games,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. Miller expects Ristic to return against USC. Allen’s injury was more complex because the skin was broken through. Miller said the bone popped out of his finger in practice, which required seven stitches. However, Allen should be “full-go” against the Trojans, according to Miller. “We have a pretty good gauge on his health. There’s nothing structurally wrong with his hand or finger,” Miller said. So Arizona is expected to be at full force against USC, but both teams have two different players that didn’t play against each other the first time around. Allonzo Trier didn’t play against the Trojans, and USC forward Bennie Boatwright returned at the beginning of February after missing 15 games. Since Boatwright’s comeback, he’s scored double figures in every game and came off his first double-double performance of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds against UCLA. The Trojans are 21-6, and four of their losses were against ranked opponents. Don’t sleep or the Trojan horse will invade the almighty McKale Center and spoil Arizona’s extravagant weekend.
