standpoint of public relations, from the standpoint of building community trust and credibility, the thing’s a train wreck.” Amidst assurances that the university and ACC will do everything they can to be good neighbors, Grace Rich, the North University Neighborhood Association president who lives on the east side of the complex’s proposed site, said the development would “basically ruin [her] life.” “My question is—like the question of a lot of people—has this been planned and a done deal for a long time?” she said. Rich said she would rather see the project halted altogether and have resident homes built to strengthen the neighborhood. 90 percent of the homes in the neighborhood are currently rented by students, she said. Kozachik said, “That whenever the university feels like it, they’re gonna put together a memorandum of understanding with a private developer and just bypass the public process.” Dourlein said having the project adhere to city zoning requirements could set a different precedent. Additionally, neither the university nor ACC will have to pay taxes on the property under their partnership—a concern of Kozachik’s, as a half-cent sales tax increase is set to be voted on in May. “I have some questions as to the legality of the whole thing,” Kozachik said. He currently has the development process under review by the city’s attorney. Diana Lett, the preservation committee chair for the Feldman’s Neighborhood Association, threatened legal action against ACC. “The problem is how it’s being done and
Three homes in the middle of the 1000 block on Drachman Street, between Park and Fremont avenues, were at the center of discussion during the third community meeting April 10, which concerned the development of UA’s new honors complex. John and Jenny Sadlouskos, residents of one of the homes, sat in the front row as talk of their imminent plight surrounded them, much as the future parking lot American Campus Communities plans to build would surround their home. But they’re not angry. “You can’t stop progress,” John Sadlouskos, 85, said. The Sadlouskoses said they feel the representatives from ACC are taking their concerns into consideration, but comments during the meeting indicate that other community members don’t feel the same. The topic of discussion for the meeting was to collect suggestions from the community about design implementations to address their concerns, said UA Assistant Vice President for Planning Design and Construction Peter Dourlein. Community members suggested everything from low-light lamps in the parking lot to moving part of the new 1,000-bed facility underground— an implementation Dourlein said would increase costs by three to four times the current amount. “The meeting was a predictable food fight,” said Ward 6 Council Member Steve Kozachik. “Predictable because the way the university is going about this project.

Athletics fee for new students to go to renovations, game access BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
Incoming students enrolling for the fall 2017 semester will find a new $100 athletics fee on their bursar’s account. The Arizona Board of Regents approved the athletics fee in a 7-1 vote at their April 6 meeting. The fee is $100 for undergraduates and $50 for graduate students. Graduate students will be able to opt out. Undergraduate students will not have that option. Erika Barnes, Interim Athletics Director, said the fee is an overall fee to support athletics programs, facilities and the improvement of the student and fan experience,
not a fee for just one project. The estimated yearly revenue, once the fee is fully integrated, is $75 million. “We’ve been pretty fiscally responsible,” Barnes said. “We’ve had a positive fund balance for over 31 years. In the meantime, we’ve also done some critical capital projects that we’ve really relied on private support for.” Earlier this year, Arizona Athletics received a $1 million donation from former Wildcat baseball star and Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona for a new indoor hitting facility for the baseball program. The athletics program is also developing a student-athlete academic center south of McKale Center with a $7.5 million price

where it’s being done,” she said. According to Dourlein, the city’s rezoning process doesn’t guarantee the community’s concerns would be met and could actually open up the possibility of higher density structures being built, such as the student housing towers just south of the proposed honors complex site. Due to the legal threats, ACC representatives said they could not comment. Dourlein said design elements beyond the details of the development, such as an
inner-courtyard to decrease noise pollution from students, are being implemented to make the complex as neighborhood-friendly as possible. “Comments that I made and that other people made pertaining to design issues may—may—be taken into account,” Lett said. “Maybe they’ll pay attention to some of that.” Dourlein said the derailed topic of the meeting highlights the need to continue discussions with community members and hopefully find a compromise for continued development.

tag, courtesy of the Wildcat Club, a group of donors for athletics. This is the first time athletics has been supported by the general student body and not just those who purchase passes or tickets. “Having a new revenue stream will help us in the future in our visions of what we want for our programs, our facilities and to benefit our students and our fans,” Barnes said. One benefit for fans is a plan to improve the Wi-Fi in McKale Center, Arizona Stadium and eventually all athletic venues. Students will still have to pay $175 for a red ZonaZoo pass for access to men’s basketball and football games and $135 for a blue ZonaZoo pass for access to
@DAILYWILDCAT
football games. Barnes said the reasoning behind keeping the passes was due to the valuable social aspect and school spirit the student section provides. According to Barnes, the amount of money transferred from the athletics department back to ZonaZoo will increase from $85,000 to $125,000 as a result of the fee, giving students a greater role in deciding the use of those funds. “We didn’t want to make that decision for them; they get to use their creative juices,” Barnes said. Michael Finnegan, Associated Students for the University of Arizona president, said the original proposed fee was much higher.
A story appearing on Page 1 of the Monday-Tuesday, April 10-11 print edition of The Daily WIldcat about a new mandatory $100 athletics fee for all undergraduate students incorrectly stated the amount the fee would bring in annually. The fee will bring in approximately $3.2 million annually and will allow the UA department of athletics the flexibility to borrow up to $75 million to go toward necessary infrastructure improvements and other costs.

A MURAL DECORATING THE entrance to the “Woven Through Time” exhibit at the Arizona State Museum. The exhibit contains more than 35,000 baskets and other woven materials from up to 8,000 years ago.
‘Woven Through Time’ art exhibit launches BY TORI TOM @DailyWildcat
The Arizona State Museum opened a new permanent exhibit, “Woven Through Time: American Treasures of Native American Basketry and Fiber Art,” Saturday, April 8, to spotlight Native American tradition in the Southwest. Diane Dittemore, associate curator of ethnology, said the gallery intends to promote education and awareness about the ongoing custom and its significance within indigenous tribal cultures. After extensive consultations with a number of basketry communities across the state, Dittemore said the museum prioritized the inclusion of native languages within displays. “Our goal was to support tribal efforts in keeping language alive,” she said. Terrol Drew Johnson, co-founder, president and CEO of Tohono O’odham Community Action, said weaving is an essential part of Native American culture. Johnson is also an award-winning basket weaver and co-founder of the Tohono O’odham Basketweavers Organization. “We didn’t have Tupperware or pots; we had nature,” he said. “Learning how to pick up twigs, roots and branches to weave them into pieces to hold food was necessary.” Johnson learned how to weave in high school, 30-some years ago, assuring his teachers that he would pass on basketry to future generations. Johnson is now holding true to that promise every Wednesday evening in the Desert Rain Gallery. Although weaving popularity has declined among today’s youth because of the extensive
effort required, Johnson said new people often attend the community’s free weaving circle with an open mind. “Basket weaving is a dying art,” he said. “People are trying to keep it alive within their own communities by teaching younger people.” Ancient and modern art items from the Arizona State Museum’s collection of 35,000 baskets were donations from private owners, unearthed discoveries from anthropology excavations and purchases through the museum’s contribution fund, Friends of the ASM Collections. A $400,000 grant from Save America’s Treasures program was given to the museum in 2001 to preserve their woven baskets and perishable fiber pieces. Funding from the federal government initiative was allocated toward construction of a climate-controlled storage vault, which includes a floor-to-ceiling display window. The implementation of “Woven Through Time” took the Arizona State Museum’s basketry project conservative team and exhibit crew four years to plan, create and complete the present development. Nancy Odegaard, head of preservation at the museum, has worked at the museum for 35 years. To enhance the historical state of the baskets, Odegaard and the conservation lab team examined, analyzed, treated and restored each basket, minimizing deterioration and potential damage. Because of the support from Native American consultants, student interns, numerous sponsors and private contractors, “Woven Through Time” will continue educate the public about this cherished indigenous art and recognize the men and women who continue to weave.

UAPD takes driver’s “novelty gift” A University of Arizona Police Department officer was riding his patrol motorcycle westbound on Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue on March 30 around 3:30 p.m. when he noticed a gray vehicle with an expired license plate. The officer initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the female driver and asked for her license. When the driver opened her wallet to remove her license, the officer noticed a South Carolina driver’s license. The woman proceeded to give the officer a California driver’s license. When asked about the South Carolina license, the woman responded, “I don’t use that.” The officer asked the woman if he could see it and noticed that her date of birth was different on her California license. Police noted the date of birth on the driver’s South Carolina license would make her over 21 years old. The officer believed the South Carolina license to be fictitious, and he conducted a record check on the license that returned with no record found. The woman told police a friend purchased it for her as a novelty gift and that she had never used it to purchase alcohol. The officer cited and released the driver for knowingly possessing a fictitious driver license and an expired registration. The fake license was placed into UAPD evidence. Loitering man with a machete A UAPD officer was conducting a security check of the UA buildings surrounding First Street and Martin Avenue around 10 a.m. on March 30 when he noticed a man lying on the sidewalk near Rawls/Eller Lodge. Approximately two weeks prior, the officer had contacted the same man who had been sleeping on the same sidewalk and warned him for the policy violation, as well as a possible exclusionary order. Police completed a citation for loitering and explained that the man would have a court date and asked the man to sign. The man said he couldn’t because his hand hurt. As police began handcuffing him, he started to argue with officers. Officers finally placed the man into handcuffs and transported him to Pima County Jail. Prior to arriving, an officer asked the man if he had drugs. He responded, “no drugs.” The officer then asked if the man had any weapons, to which the man only looked at the officer. Several minutes later, jail staff took custody of the man and searched him. They found a sheathed machete inside the left leg of the man’s pants. When the UAPD officer questioned the man about the machete, the man responded, “I said no to the drugs.” No additional contraband was found, and the man was booked on a misdemeanor charge of loitering and a felony charge of promoting prison contraband.

A convention won’t heal wounds in our nation Arizona calls a for a constitutional convention as a solution to the issues in our nation. However, a convention won’t fix these issues and may even make them worse.
BY TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat
G
overnor Doug Ducey has called for a convention of the states, but the issues our nation faces run much deeper than a consensus from a constitutional convention. Last week, Gov. Ducey signed two bills from Arizona’s Congress calling for the first-ever convention of the states. Though many Arizona Representatives claim it is just to create a balanced budget, others, including the Ducey himself, see the potential for much more, such as federal term limits and judicial reform. This type of convention has the potential to turn into a full-fledged re-writing of the document. After all, our constitution was only supposed to be a revision of the Articles of Confederation. The U.S. has not seen a constitutional convention since 1787, despite Thomas Jefferson’s idea that a constitutional convention should be held every 19 years. The time to have one may finally be upon us. Written into Article V of the U.S. Constitution is the ability to change it when necessary. It requires two-thirds of Congress or a convention called by twothirds of the states to propose an amendment. The amendment then must be ratified by threefourths of state legislatures or their conventions. I have always agreed with Jefferson’s idea to revise the constitution to keep it relevant. However, a constitutional convention
may not work with the current division in our country. The major issues our nation cannot be solved with a convention. The convention may, in fact, perpetuate the problem to a point where the problems can no longer be fixed. People have a greater awareness of the democracy that surrounds them; therefore, there are many institutions set in place by the constitution that seem undemocratic. The Electoral College has served as a primary example of this idea, as it is a process that serves to facilitate indirect representation. While this is not the place to argue for or against the Electoral College, it is clear that it has caused a lot of division in the American people. A constitutional convention will deepen this wound. A convention of the states is even further separated from the people than the Electoral College. While the Electoral College attempts equal representation by dividing influence based on the number of representatives that each state has, a constitutional convention only requires a vote of state legislatures. Therefore, California’s legislature has as much pull as Wyoming’s. Threequarters of the states hold less than half of the population, so a new national government can be passed without representing most of the country. The conversation is polarized, with one half on the side of the constitution and states’ rights, and the other on the side of the people and equal representation. As our nation has divided over the recent election; many do not view President Donald Trump as having been legitimately elected. If an even more state-centered
PARESH NATH, THE KHALEEJ TIMES, UAE
process changed national law, the two sides would not be able to reconcile with each other. Those whose states disagree with the new national laws might not view a new constitution as legitimate either. Part of the issue the division in the country faces is the polarization of our political parties. Over the last few years, the Democratic and Republican parties have hardly been able to agree or compromise on issues. This would also cause tension with a convention because the states who have recently called for a convention have done so primarily on Republican ideals, including the hope to return power to the states.
The Daily Wildcat Editorial Policy Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.
It would be unwise to call for an overhaul of national law if the two sides are unable to compromise. Thirty-two state legislatures are controlled by the Republican Party, three are split and 14 are Democrat. Thirty-eight state legislatures are needed in order to ratify a change, which means the Republicans can almost pull a ratification. If the two sides cannot compromise, a convention could result in a document that portrays Republican ideals. Independent of political parties, it would do no good creating a new government that isolates an entire group of people based on their beliefs. If one side
feels completely unrepresented by this new government, the supporters would have no motivation to stay bound to it. In our time of intense partisanship and lack of compromise, a constitutional convention could make many of the problems we see in government worse, to the point where our government might not be able to stand at all. Before moving forward with a constitutional convention, the people and politicians need to learn, to listen and to compromise with each other. Then, the government might be able to handle the renovation, which according to Jefferson, is long overdue.

A Mars mystery: Where did all the water go? Researchers at UA are working to answer an extraterrestrial question: Where did Mars’ water go? The answer might involve the red planet’s atmosphere BY REBEKAH ULMER @DailyWildcat
The red planet has been featured in the news quite a bit recently as technology improves and new discoveries are made. Mars has fascinated readers and scientists for years because of the possibility that long ago it may have had liquid water on its surface and may, at one time, have had the potential to support life. Mars is smaller than Earth and cooled much faster than our planet after it was fully formed. This rapid cooling made for a lack of magnetic field to protect mars from intruding solar winds and radiation, which may have helped strip the atmosphere even faster than previously thought. Recently, UA experts have collaborated with NASA to investigate how exactly Mars lost its atmosphere and how it has affected the features of the planet over time. Roger Yelle, a professor in UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, has been working with NASA in studying how particles and gases leave Mars’ atmosphere and how this effect may have turned Mars into the chilly, lifeless, desertlike scene it is today. “The general picture is that right now Mars can’t support liquid water because the atmosphere is too thin and it’s too cold, but a long time ago, 3.8-4 billion years ago, it seems like it did have liquid water,” Yelle said. Mars is remarkably similar to Earth in many of its features. However, Mars’ atmosphere is nothing like Earth’s. Part of the reason our planet is able to support life is because of the fact that the surface can sustain high volumes of liquid water, which is in part due to Earth’s protective atmosphere. “So the question is what
happened? Why did [Mars] have water then and not have water now, and why has the atmosphere changed?” Yelle said. Mars has an extremely low-pressure atmosphere. According to Yelle’s recent research, the atmosphere most likely escaped over time. The loss of protective gasses and elements would have had a profound effect on the climate and landscape of Mars over time. The question then becomes: Did enough of Mars’ atmosphere escape to cause the change in landscape and water retention and to cause the relative thinning researchers see today? “It’s something that all atmospheres do. The Earth’s atmosphere is escaping to space; every atmosphere is escaping to space at some rate,” Yelle said. Mars is thought to have an internal, metallic core which separated from the rest of the planetary materials during its formation. Before the planet cooled completely, there was magmatic activity under the surface, made evident by the largest known volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons. There is also evidence for past tectonic activity—another signifier of a hot interior—in the form of the largest known canyon, Valles Marineris. Mars doesn’t have any recent tectonic activity, although there is speculation that, early in its life, the planet may have had two slow-moving tectonic plates. Due to the loss of gasses and the subsequent atmospheric thinning, the planet core cooled, halting these life-sustaining processes. The magnetic field of Mars has been weak for the past 4 billion years. On Earth, the magnetic field, which helps protect the atmosphere from solar winds, is caused in part by the constant,
GLOBAL MOSAIC OF 102 VIKING 1 Orbiter images of Mars taken on orbit 1,334 on Feb. 22, 1980. Mars today is devoid of tectonic activity.
slow-moving convection of the molten mantle, which also helps drive the tectonic movements. Because of the early cooling, Mars has no global magnetic field to protect the planet from solar winds. It is possible that the atmospheric loss of Mars is partly from solar winds coming into contact with upper atmosphere. When the solar wind hits the upper atmosphere of a planet, there are variety of things that are associated with that which
can cause the atmosphere to escape. “... We call [one of these effects] sputtering, and it’s kind of like throwing a basketball into a swimming pool,” Yelle said, “you make a big splash and some of the water escapes.” So when the solar wind hit Mars’ upper atmosphere, some of the atmospheric molecules may have escaped. This and other processes have been stripping Mars of its atmosphere for millions of
years. Studying the potential effects of solar winds on Mars’ atmosphere could help researchers predict how Earth might interact with solar winds over time. At this point, it is hard to pinpoint the exact cause of the thinning of Mars’ atmosphere, but the answer may be a combination of multiple factors.

UA partners to develop weed-spraying bot BY HANNAH DAHL @hannah_dahl715
UA is currently working to develop a camera-based spray system that will improve the accuracy of chemical applications to agricultural crops across the country. The goal of the project is to develop a high-tech spraying system that will apply precise amounts of herbicides to weeds without contaminating any of the crop plants, said Mazin Saber, a post-doctoral research associate specializing in agricultural engineering. One of the many benefits of the sprayer system is its ability to reduce the quantity of herbicides that come in contact with the environment. “Basically, we try to deliver the minimal amount of chemicals that can do the job without any extra dose to the soil [or the] water,” Saber said. In order to accomplish this, the spray system utilizes a camera-based imaging system to identify and target weeds. “It utilizes a precision sprayer to target individual weeds, and our goal is to have it work at the centimeterlevel scale of accuracy,” said Mark Siemens, UA associate professor and specialist of agricultural and biosystems engineering. As the spraying machine travels through the field, a camera mounted within the assembly takes pictures of the ground, Saber said. The processing program then transforms the picture into a grid cell, just like placing a transparent grid over a photograph. Saber added that each cell measures a centimeter
square in size. Once the camera has mapped the ground into tiny squares, it will send a signal to the sprayer to hit only squares containing the leaves of the weed. However, the camera doesn’t just need to be used to identify harmful weeds in the field. According to Siemens, it could also target the crop plants in order to spray insecticides. “Since the system will know where the crop plants are, in addition to the weeds, you could target a specific insecticide to the crop plant and that would save a tremendous amount of insecticides,” Siemens said. Saber is currently working to find the perfect combination of the solenoid valve, or sprayer assembly, and the amount of herbicide released. Imagine if you have weeds growing very close to the crop plant but you only want to target the weed, Saber said. The challenge is to find the right formula that will release enough herbicide to kill the weed but not come in contact with the plant. “If you have something you spray, it can splash on the plants close by,” Saber said. “So we want the right formulation that can help to reduce that splash on the plant.” If the herbicide were to end up on the crop plant, it could have severe effects. Not only would it kill the plant, but it could contaminate the soil and runoff water. Unlike traditional methods of herbicide application, such as hand or broadcast spraying, this new machine will greatly reduce the likelihood of that happening, Saber said. According to Siemens, the camera and spray system

are enclosed in a five-sided box with an open bottom so that the images are not affected by wind or light. The machine also provides artificial lighting in order to create consistent, high-resolution images, Siemens added. Besides the benefits to the environment, the new spraying machine will provide a much-needed solution for farmers in large-scale commercial agricultural production. “With the cost of labor increasing and stricter immigration policies, the industry is facing a higher cost and labor shortage,” Siemens said. Many of the growers employ laborers to pick the weeds by hand because herbicides haven’t been developed yet to specifically target crops such as lettuce, broccoli or cauliflower, Siemens said. Addressing the problems farmers are facing in regards to labor has been a drive for the development of this sprayer system. “Basically in the long run, the machines will be more profitable for the farmers because first the machine never gets tired, it’s faster and more accurate to do the job,” Saber said. UA is partnered with University of California Davis and Washington State University on the project. Though the machine has not been tested yet, this summer the team plans to integrate the spray system with the vision system, which is being developed by UC Davis, Siemens said. The project is in its third year of development and is sponsored by a $2.7 million U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture Specialty Crop Research Initiative Grant.

UA presents perspectives on cinema, stage and TV The UA School of Theatre, Film and Television’s symposium will touch on everything from classic Hollywood to television’s reflections on culture BY KIRSHANA GUY @DailyWildcat
The UA’s School of Theatre, Film and Television (TFTV) will be holding its fifth Undergraduate Research Symposium on Thursday, April 13, and Friday, April 14. This annual event presents the original research of Bachelor of Arts students in a panel format. According to Jessica Maerz, an associate professor at TFTV, the works presented at the symposium are from upper-division courses through TFTV. “Faculty members can nominate essays by forwarding them to a jury of faculty members,” Maerz said. “The jury then selects the best eight works from each area—theatre and film and television— to be presented at the Undergraduate Research Symposium.” Lisa Pierce, director of marketing and Development at TFTV, explained that there are four parts to the Undergraduate Research Symposium. On Friday, two guest speakers will present their special talks. Dr. Alison McKee, associate professor of radio/film/television at San José State University, will lead the talk, titled “I’ve Kissed You Through Two Centuries: Love and History Among the Film Archives.” McKee will be speaking about her own research on classical Hollywood cinema from the 1930s to the 1960s. McKee’s research focuses on 1940s American films. Her work is based on textual analysis of film, which allows her to “ground them into their historical moment of production,” McKee said. Therefore, the textual analysis of film allows her to connect the readings and interpretations of the film to the larger social and cultural history going on during the time of the film’s production. McKee explained she became interested in film after taking 12 electives in film at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she earned a BA and MA in English. McKee said the symposium exposes some interested students to the process of peer review, since their work must be vetted and selected to be a part of the symposium. “When I read the theatre papers and watched the critical essays, I was very excited and impressed by the students,” McKee said. “I am very impressed so far with the way the program has been laid out.” The second guest speaker of the Undergraduate Research Symposium is

Dr. John Cameron, professor of theater arts at the University of Iowa. Cameron will lead the talk titled, “Repeating History: My Altered Approach to Socially Conscious Theatre.” The guest speakers’ talks will be held in the Center for Creative Photography’s auditorium at 1030 N. Olive Road at 4 p.m. on Thursday. Following the talks, on Friday in Old Main’s Silver & Sage room at 1200 E. University Blvd., four students will present “Screen Studies 1,” from 10-11:15 a.m. “Screen Studies 1” focuses on the industries of screen studies. For example, the first speaker will be presenting their research on “The Live Event Phenomenon: Televisions Reflection of
Cultural Values.” There will also be research presented that focuses on the research of Amazon Prime videos and their branding issues and solutions. The second set of research presented is titled, “Theatre and Culture 1,” which begins at 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Bachelor of Arts students will present their research on classical theatre, western and non-western, while others present their research on Kalidas, commonly referred to as the “Indian Shakespeare,” a poet and dramatist in classical Sanskrit literature, before taking a break for lunch, 12:30-1:30 p.m. The second half of the event will begin with “Theatre and Culture 2,” where the
students will present their research on modern and contemporary theatre, which focuses on texts and narratives. Lastly, the students will close the event between 2:45 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., with further research presented in “Screen Studies 2,” which includes a video essay submission titled, “The Sounds of Obsession.” The Undergraduate Research Symposium is a free event open to the public. There will be parking available in the Second Street Garage, located west of Cherry Avenue on the south side of Second Street. If you have special needs for parking, contact UA Parking & Transportation Services at 520-621-3550.

DYLAN BROWNE, ALSO KNOWN as Bansheebeat, laughs while being interviewed at the UA Main Library on Monday, April 10.
Bansheebeat: turning lectures into electro BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro
For many students, getting paid to do what they are passionate about feels like only a pipedream. For Dylan Browne, it is his past, present and future. A UA junior and music major, Browne is a Tucson native and a musical artist under the name Bansheebeat. The independent electronic artist is inspired by Super Nintendo and Toonami, and Bansheebeat has been Browne’s primary musical project for years. Music has been a staple in Browne’s life since he found himself needing a hobby. “In elementary school, I needed something to do and I had tried chess and tennis but did not like it,” Browne said. “I tried band and played bells, which was kind of lame, but then I got into drums and piano.” After getting more involved with music, he began to write it. “I started writing music for various small bands I played in, and once I got to high school I played an ensemble band called Chubbish Rubbish,” he said. “It was all written and produced by one guy, and I liked how he could make crazy sounds without other people.” Browne has kept his passion for music throughout college and said majoring in music has aided his career as an artist. “I am a composition major, so that is writing, but one class that helped was Careers in Music,” he said. “[The class basically said] ‘Hey, you are a musician, here are tips on advertising yourself, branding, meeting new people and so on.’” On March 27, Browne released an EP, titled “Techno Deluxe,” that is available on iTunes, SoundCloud and Spotify to stream and purchase.
“My last album was a slow-burner. I loved those records a lot, but I cannot play it at a club to hype the crowd,” he said. “I wanted to put those two kinds of listening situations together so it could be listened to while riding in your car or on a walk.” Many cities, Los Angeles in particular, have been instrumental in helping Browne craft his style. “Lately, much of my music has been informed by the independent club scene in cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York,” he said. “I took a lot of cues from my DJ friends in L.A. and put parts of that into my own music.” Browne also cites the artists he works with as inspiration for the music he makes. “At the moment, I collaborate with a lot of independent electronic musicians throughout the country and internationally,” he said. “We bounce ideas, and I find more inspiration through that than when I first started hearing records.” Despite rap not showing up that often in his music, Browne is a huge fan of the genre. “A few years ago, I established Flying Lotus’ ‘Cosmogramma’ as my favorite album of all time, but J Dilla’s “Doughnuts” is a solid runner up,” he said. “I really liked the new Lil Yachty tape and that he sampled DAOKO for one of his tracks.” When Browne is not making music, he often spends time buying and listening to new and old albums. “My consumption of music varies to the point where I will buy 20 new albums or not hear new music for a year,” he said. “My goal is to write music for a living that can connect my message with an individual listener and have it resonate.”

The student-athlete personified BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
What defines a senior? Is it the composure they show when everything else is crumbling around them? Is it the drive to succeed and the development they go through budding from a teenager to a fullblown adult? Or is it the character they demonstrate day in and day out— unflappable confidence no matter the situation that surrounds them? In the case of seniors of Lauren
Evans from the women’s basketball team and Kadeem Allen from the men’s basketball team, it is all of the above. Perhaps it was an extra year in the journey or the extra time to to mature as an adult, but both Wildcat basketball players have represented their teams as best they could, and while doing so, set the bar for studentathlete professionalism. Evans and Allen have taken two distinctly different paths toward their final year at the UA, but both roads have them ending with a degree and
future prosperity. Evans was a recruit from Hamilton High School and signed with Virginia Tech straight out of high school. She was rated a four-star recruit by ESPN Hoopgurlz and was the Arizona high school player of the year in 2012, in addition to being named defensive player of the year in 2010, 2011 and 2012. During her freshman campaign, Evans started 28 of the 30 games for the Hokies, off to a strong start that included six games in double figures. But life has a funny way of not working
out quite how you think it will. In her ensuing sophomore season Evans played very little; in fact, she didn’t start a game at all. “It was kind of a rough period,” Evans said. “I had a lot going on at home, and I thought it would just be best to go back home.” Former Arizona head coach Niya Butts sold Evans on the opportunity to play in Tucson and come back to her home state. Though there were several reasons as to why she committed to the Wildcats, the two that stood out were family and the view of a program
trending upward. The latter hasn’t worked out for the fifth-year senior. Heading into her redshirt junior year, Evans was part of a struggling women’s basketball program fighting for relevancy. That season the Wildcats went 13-19, winning only three conference games during the regular season.However, the rejuvenation that new head coach Adia Barnes brought back into the program helped guide Evans down a path toward success for both her and

Protein Shakedown Do you really need that protein shake after your workout? Probably not.
Recent research shows consuming 20-30 g of protein as part of a meal or snack every three to four hours is more effective than consuming one large dose after your workout to generate new muscle fibers. There’s no doubt protein is an important part of the recovery process after an intense workout, but if you’re an average gym-goer who exercises for an hour or so a few days a week, that protein shake isn’t going to do whole lot for you. In fact, drinking a protein shake may cause you to take in more energy than your body needs, storing it as fat, and defeating your overall efforts. Instead, active gymgoers should eat protein-rich meals and snacks throughout the day/evening. Examples of protein-rich meals and snacks: • Protein Packed Pancakes recipe below (good anytime!) • Two eggs and oatmeal made with milk • Grilled chicken with vegetables and rice • Black beans, salsa and low-fat cheese wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla • Snacks: Greek yogurt, string cheese, cottage cheese, edamame, peanut butter, almonds, milk Bottom line: If you’re looking for
convenience, protein shakes can be a good option, but they certainly aren’t magical. Consume high-quality protein throughout the day/evening, not just after your workout!
RECIPE: PROTEIN PACKED PANCAKES Preparation Time: 10 minutes Recipe makes: 4 pancakes Serving Size: 2 pancakes Ingredients: • 1/2 cup rolled oats • 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 4 egg whites • Cooking Spray Steps: 1. Put egg whites in a blender. (Separate egg yolks from egg whites or use egg whites purchased in a carton.) 2. Add oatmeal, cottage cheese and vanilla to blender and blend. 3. Spray skillet with cooking spray (or use a non-stick skillet without spray) and heat pan. 4. Pour a little less than ¼ cup into the pan for each pancake and cook until brown on one side. Flip and cook the other side until brown. Nutrition facts per serving: 160 calories, 17 g carbohydrate, 17 g protein, 2.5 g fat, 2 g fiber

COURTESY TUCSON ROADRUNNERS
ROADRUNNER ALTERNATE CAPTAIN CHRIS Mueller looks for a pass while being covered by San Jose Barracuda captain John McCarthy on March 26. The Roadrunners conclude play Saturday in Stockton, California.
Roadrunners look to play spoiler in season finale BY TANNER HARRIS @tanner_harris8
The Tucson Roadrunners head to California after officially being eliminated from playoff contention on their last road trip through Winnipeg, Canada. The Roadrunners gave up 9 goals to the Manitoba Moose, while only scoring 7 themselves, although they forced overtime on Friday, getting them 1 point. Goaltender Marek Langhamer played on Friday after starter Adin Hill was pulled in the second period. Langhamer was the starter for the game on Sunday, where he allowed 4 goals, including a late one in the third. The Roadrunner alternate captain, Chris Mueller, officially made his first season in Tucson the best in his career when he picked up 4 points in the game Friday. Mueller had 2 goals and two assists on the night, brining him to 62 points on the season, which bested his former career high of 60. The Roadrunners, now in California, look to end a four-game losing streak against the Pacific Division best, San Jose Barracuda. Tucson earned a shootout victory against the Barracuda in their last meeting at the Tucson Convention Center, where the Roadrunners exploded for 4 goals in the second period against San Jose. Barracuda leading scorer Daniel O’Regan received his first taste of NHL
action over the weekend with the San Jose Sharks; there is a chance that he will not be playing for the team, still being part of the NHL affiliate. The Roadrunners finish up with San Jose Thursday, before traveling to Stockton, California on Saturday for their final game of the inaugural season against the Heat. Stockton currently holds the last playoff spot in the pacific and have won eight of their last 10 games. The Roadrunners have played well against Stockton this year, posting a 4-20 record in the six games played. Tucson will look to continue that success against the Heat and attempt to play spoiler and keep them from making the playoffs. Chris Mueller had an exceptional weekend with 3 goals and three assists in two games against Manitoba, bringing his point total to 64 for the year. Mueller now sits third in the points race, one behind Chris Terry who is in second. Fischer still sits atop the Roadrunners for goals scored with 19; Mueller has 18 and Laurent Dauphin has 17. The Roadrunners currently have a record of 26-31, good for seventh place in the AHL’s Pacific Division. The puck drops in the last game of the season for the Roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. MST from the Stockton Arena.

her teammates. This is evident by the Wildcats winning five conference games on the year and an overall record that hovered around .500. “I really think that coach Barnes set us up for success,” Evans said. “She has a way of words with the players and she gets everybody going, and I think she is really going to build this program up. I just think she is a really great person.” Allen, on the other hand, has not experienced the same lack of success on the court with Arizona. Instead, his pressures are on the opposite side of the spectrum: trying to lead one of college basketballs more recognizable programs. Allen was the 2014 Junior College player of the year at Hutchison Community College and has a total record of 51-13 during his time with the Wildcats. He was a largely underrated prospect but has more than made up for the limited press with his work ethic and maturity, which is similar to Evans’. The fifth-year senior came to the UA looking for a primary role; instead, he was asked to redshirt, a proposition that many in his position would scoff at, but not Allen. “Kadeem is one of my favorite players I’ve ever been around, as a teammate, when I played, assistant coach, head coach,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “He has overcome tremendous odds. He’s what college sports is all about. To come in and accept a role as a redshirt and then to watch his development over the past three years, I don’t know if I have been more proud of a kid.” Evans and Allen bleed red and blue. Each one of their coaches rave about the work ethic, character and overall attitude they both have. Miller even reached a point where he seemed emotional when speaking about his beloved pupil in front of a capacity crowd following the Wildcats last game against UCLA. “In all of the years that I’ve coached, I’ve never seen anybody grow up more than this guy,” Miller said. “… And I am very, very certain of this:
He’s going to continue leading our team to the promise land.” While Allen couldn’t quite get the Wildcats to it on the court, his legacy in terms of leadership will leave an impact on players for years to come, not to mention exceeding the expectations of those closest to him, like Miller. All of the accolades and pats on the back are nice, but these two understand that their success is not driven by the score on the board but rather the content of their character. Each one is meticulous in their approach, both approachable. Evans can be seen across the campus with a smile that, as former ESPN broadcaster Brent Musberger once said about Magic Johnson, “Lights up a television screen from here to Bangor, Maine.” Her attitude is infectious. Evans has been steadfast in her approach to basketball this season. You’d never know what the status of the team or game is based on her attitude because she is always the same: bright and full of life. It is not an overstatement to say she is a positive person; in fact, it would be the contrary.A picture of Evans’ demeanor is her attitude after both ASU games this season—one a win, the other a loss. In both instances you’d never know what happened in the game—well, outside of a slight twinkle in Evans eye due to the fact that she did hit the shot that sealed the game for Arizona at home against the rival. The same can be said about Allen: stoic, matter-of-fact, composed, all a testament to his character. Allen’s picture-perfect moment came in his last game in McKale Center. In defeat, Allen stood on center court and soaked in the atmosphere one last time. Approaching him was easy; he simply smiled as questions were asked about his thoughts and even took a photo holding that weeks copy of the Daily Wildcat that had a foldout poster of him. Cheesy? Maybe. But after a heartbreaking loss, his professionalism shined no matter what emotions were moving through his body. Evans and Allen are the epitome of what it should mean to be a Wildcat. Solid, young people who have an eye toward the future and are influencing the people around them in the best way possible.
You may be surprised that just 2-4 drinks in one hour will land most drinkers above .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). An individual’s BAC depends on four factors: weight, gender, time, and strength of the drinks. While you can control how much and how fast you drink, weight and gender aren’t changeable in one evening. A standard drink is 12 ounces of beer or 4 ounces of wine or 1 ounce shot of 80 proof liquor (40% ethanol). Every standard drink that a 140 lb. woman consumes will raise her BAC .032. So, 3 drinks x .032 puts her at .96, which is over the legal DUI limit of .08 for those 21 and older. Every standard drink that a 180 lb. male consumes will raise his BAC .02. Four standard drinks would put him right at .08. To see how weight and gender affect BAC, see the tables to the right.
WOMEN BAC/ drink 100 lbs. .045 140 lbs. .032 180 lbs. .025
MEN
BAC/ drink 140 lbs. .026 180 lbs. .020 220 lbs. .017
Why such a big difference in how alcohol affects men and women? Weight is a big factor. Females generally weigh less than men and have about 30% less alcohol dehydrogenase (the liver enzyme that metabolizes alcohol) than males. Men typically have more muscle mass than women – which helps dilute alcohol in the blood stream. To stay safer when drinking alcohol, it’s recommended that women limit themselves to one standard drink an hour and men limit drinks to one or two drinks per hour. With moderate drinking, you likely will have better times, better memories, and fewer regrets.

Arizona men’s tennis puts on clinic for BYTE BY NOAH AUCLAIR @noahauclair
After a long weekend of matches, the UA Men’s Tennis team hosted BYTE, the Border Youth Tennis Exchange, for an afternoon of tennis and fun on Sunday. According to BYTE’s Director of Youth Engagement Charlie Cutler, BYTE is an after-school youth development program from Mexico that uses tennis instruction and academic enrichment classes to inspire and connect children across the border in Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora in Mexico. After eating lunch in the stands
and watching the match vs. Oregon, the kids got to partake in a clinic with Arizona head coach Clancy Shields and players from the team. “We all started, like these kids did, with somebody who got us interested in playing and got us engaged in the sport,” Shields said. “There is not one guy in my locker room that didn’t at some point fall in love with the game, and it started off because of people like the BYTE foundation or people who donated their time to letting kids come out and do special things like this. All it takes is for a kid to get the bug and fall in love with it, and you never know, maybe they’ll be playing here in 10 years.”
The kids participated in drills with hands-on instruction from players like freshman Andres Reyes, with even coach Shields getting in on the action. The kids were taught technique and were given other tennis tips, but when asked what the most important lesson the players could teach the children, junior Trent Botha kept it simple: “Really just to enjoy themselves,” he said. “Tennis is such a social sport and to just go out there and enjoy yourself, tennis is obviously very competitive too, but for me it’s just to go out and enjoy the game, and for them to go out and have fun with their friends, it’s the biggest thing.” After the clinic, the kids got to
take a tour of the UA Main Library, where they visited the 3D printing lab and took part in a 3D computer design activity, led by a UA program administrator. In Nogales, Arizona, BYTE operations take place at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Cruz County and in Nogales, Sonora, they operate at a girls orphanage called Casa Hogar para Ninas Madre Conchita. According to Cutler, Sunday was the first day that the two branches had been brought together to meet in person. They coordinated with the American Consulate, as well as the administrations of Customs and Border Protection and the Port
Authority to secure one-day passes for 11 of the girls in their program. They crossed the border early Sunday morning, where they then took a bus ride with the Arizona students to Tucson. While the kids had a great time learning from the best of the best when it comes to tennis, the players say it was just as much fun for them. “Oh, it’s so much fun,” said Botha. “It’s such an honor for me to come out. I know they’ve come such a long way, which just adds to it, getting the visas to come watch us, to get all their support, it’s the least that we can do, play with them, give them a little bit of our experience, it was a lot of fun.”
