The search for the University of Arizona’s next president appears to be winding down, but the Arizona Board of Regents and their specially appointed UA Presidential Search Committee have yet to tell the public anything about the now less-than-20 remaining prospects in the search. This reality isn’t for a lack of trying—the Daily Wildcat has repeatedly requested the names, resumes and relevant information regarding candidates in the search, only to repeatedly be told no. As the search draws to a close and the committee proceeds with what they call “discussions” with “prospects” in the search, the legality of their secrecy is under question. “Obviously, I think that [the regents are] completely wrong on the law,” said Derek Bambauer, a UA law professor. “The
[Arizona] Supreme Court set out the rules for what constitutes a prospect, candidate and finalist, and it’s not up to [the regents] to unilaterally redefine that.” The ruling Bambauer refers to is a 1991 Arizona Supreme Court case regarding the secrecy of a 1989 search for a new Arizona State University president. By the books: Board of Regents v. Phoenix Newspapers As in the UA’s search, the search firm ASU hired recommended names of candidates be kept confidential. Due to the suggestion, the board of regents refused to release the

names of candidates. Regardless, the Arizona Republic and the Mesa Tribune published the names of 17 candidates after an investigation. The board of regents sued the newspapers, arguing that fewer people would apply for the position if their names were made public. In their ruling, the justices determined that once prospects seriously consider the position and are interviewed they become candidates. This is important because this ruling created terms for the regents to use when conducting a presidential search. In Arizona, the public has a legal right to know the name of anyone considered a candidate for the presidency of a public university. The court also said the regents should create rules of procedure for the search process for future reference so it would be clear when a prospect becomes a candidate. According to Sarah Harper, vice president of communications for the board of regents, such rules were never

Latin American studies hosts Brazilian carnival BY DAVID PUJOL @deathlydavid
Dancing, singing and people moving to the rhythmic martial art of capoeira filled the UA Mall as faculty members engaged in the hypnotic beat of samba. Students found themselves moving their hips right alongside community members under the guidance of instructor Bardo Padilla. This was the scene when the Center for Latin American Studies hosted a carnival celebration on the UA Mall Feb. 24 with activities for students to learn more about the Brazilian culture and language. The event began with Marcela Vásquez, the director of the Center for Latin American Studies, greeting the audience and introducing new LAS assistant professor, Antonio Bacelar da Silva, who spearhead for the new initiative for the Brazil studies program. “This is an attempt to build bridges between the departments that have interest in Brazilian culture and language and with the students and faculty in these departments, but above all we want to engage with the community with events like the one we have today,” Silva said. The Center for Latin American studies got a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, as well as contributions from the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the College of Humanities, and this new initiative for Brazil studies is a partnership between the Spanish and Portuguese departments. Capoeira was one of the first events showcased, with live demonstrations by Axé Capoeira Tucson, a capoeira and dance studio in the community. Men and women moved around rhythmically on the Mall while others sang and clapped to the motion. Following that was Padilla who lead the crowd in demonstrations of samba dancing. Everyone was encouraged to stand up and move their hips and feel the motion in their
bodies as the samba music played. Padilla lead students like Kiana Hamilton a French Senior who found the event while walking past it on the Mall. “I was just walking by and I saw it happening and I walked over and joined in on dancing, I have a heart for dancing and I love Latin music and I already had taken a Latin American class, but if there was a dance class in Latin American studies I would’ve taken it,” Hamilton said. Following the samba dancing there was live music and a soccer demonstration where students and community members had the opportunity to kick a soccer ball into a goal to win a Brazilian flag or candy from the country. Edgar Monreal, a father and research specialist at the Center for Latin American Studies brought his children to enjoy the event and festivities. His son proudly walked around with three Brazilian flags in hand. “My children absolutely enjoyed the event because, for us, in Latin American the music, the dance, the food, the culture is so important for the children to enjoy and saturate themselves in the culture.” Monreal said. Psychology sophomore Aileen Cruz attended the event on referral from her Portuguese 305 class. She wants to study abroad and now has more opportunities to do so with LAS receiving this grant. “I don’t know anything about the Brazilian culture. I really like learning about different cultures so this event caught my attention, just like the dancing and the capoeira, and I want to able to be as fluent as some of the people who speak Portuguese here.” Cruz said. Vásquez also hopes to involve more students in study abroad by having student internships in the city of Fortaleza, capital of the Brazilian state of Ceará. “I’m excited for this event and I think this will be the first of many and not just Brazil but more of Latin America, we need

to promote the beauty, the culture, the deep history of Latin American countries through academia and students. This won’t be the last event,” Vásquez said. The Spanish and Portuguese departments are working in collaboration to develop a new online course for Spanish speakers interested in learning Portuguese. On top of developing a Brazilian business component, the departments are working on multiple new projects to enrich UA students with more Latin American culture. “In the end, we hope to establish a program that is not only engaging the university but also the community; there is a large Brazilian community in Tucson that is very disconnected from the university, so we want to bring them in as well,” Vásquez said. These engagement opportunities include creating a film series on Brazil, which will
show at The Loft Cinema during the fall semester. Vásquez hopes to bring producers and other speakers who worked on the films that’ll be shown at the loft. She is also trying to create a Brazil studies network by finding faculty members across the UA who have a interest in Brazil or are Brazilian themselves, and connecting them all to better enrich the experience students have by doing outreach in every department. “I want to tell undergraduate students that these events and this initiative is for them, for undergraduate education and the best way to learn is to see the world and we’re trying to show them a country that is a large part of Latin America,” Vásquez said.

Undocu Angels help overcome legal obstacles In an effort to offer a strong sense of protection to the immigrant community in Tucson, attorney Mo Goldman has initiated Undocu Angels, a strategy to link undocumented immigrants to U.S. citizens for when they are in need of legal assistance. “Over the 17 years I’ve worked in immigration law, I have just seen a tremendous amount of heartache and a lot of ups and downs from my clients, and many times I’ve had U.S. citizens who have come to my office for a consultation with people who are undocumented,” Goldman said. According to the annual Department of Homeland Security report, 91 percent of initial enforcement actions with undocumented immigrants by DHS involved their No. 1 priority: national security. Goldman said because of the way U.S. immigration laws are structured, it’s nearly impossible for his clients to do anything for individuals who are undocumented that are not an immediate relative like a U.S. citizen spouse. Consequently, the majority of people that come to him are not left with many options to help. When President Donald Trump’s executive orders on immigration surfaced, Goldman began to think of logical ways eager U.S. citizens could help.
“Most of the people are not lawyers,” Goldman said. “They would like to help but don’t really have an option. I basically put it out there on Facebook for people to utilize. It’s not a program yet, it’s just the idea that in this time, where people are stricken with fear or anxiety, they need people to lean on and act as a guardian angel.” Becoming an Undocu Angel for undocumented immigrants remains lawful as long as people do not harbor undocumented immigrants or provide legal advice. Participants can only give assistance and advocacy of a person arrested or detained. Since Goldman put forth his idea on social media, he took the next steps to host a question and answer session and clarify his idea where he explained how citizens could legally help undocumented immigrants. “If a person were to get arrested and they need access to legal documents, or if they get taken into detention and they need legal help getting released, maybe that U.S. citizen would be able to help them,” he said. Goldman said he thought the initiative would also help ensure no person would be wrongfully deported or detained. People are already starting to get involved. “I’m concerned about our neighbors about the people who live here, their families being separated,” said Leslie Yerman, a self-employed U.S. citizen interested in the initiative. “It’s
almost to me like having a partner or ally. It’s just pure humanitarian decency to me, and I feel it’s important to be part of the situation.” Yerman added she is in full support of the idea and understands the initiative for more of a one-on-one personal approach rather than a big organization. Knowing they are not alone is important to those caught in the confusion. “I think that from an emotional standpoint there is so much fear and uncertainty right now.” said Lynn Marcus, co-director of the UA immigration law clinic. “Knowing that there is someone in the community who has documents is of some comfort to people and emotionally helpful. I don’t see how it can hurt.” As President Trump’s promises of building a bigger wall on the border of Mexico remain in the works, the focus on national security has intensified. “The recent sweeps that are going on where ICE is going out and arresting individuals are in more unconventional fashions then we’ve seen in past years,” Goldman said. “Locations where people would typically feel more protected or safe are eroding.” Goldman said he believed it is best to have a trustworthy relationship with a person willing to help in urgent moments. “It’s a work in progress,” Goldman said. “If you’re not gonna get ideas out there where everyone is stricken with fear, then you’re not
doing your service. I’m a lawyer first and a human advocate second.”

established and guidelines are created with each presidential search. The guidelines for this search do not clearly specify when a prospect becomes a candidate or even use the court ruling to define the difference between the two categories. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in ‘91 that the public had a justifiable interest in these candidates which was more important than concerns about confidentiality. According to Dan Barr, the attorney who represented the newspapers during the ‘91 Arizona Supreme Court case, the ruling still applies today. “[In] any search for any public official, once the public body interviews these people, and they have this mutual exchange of interest, at that point their resumes become public,” Barr said. Barr wasn’t able to comment beyond his participation in the ‘91 case because he represents the UA in an unrelated matter. Bill Ridenour, chair of the search committee, denied that the applicants remaining in the search were candidates and instead said they were still prospects. “They’re prospects all through the process until their names are forwarded to the board of regents and they determine that they want to be a candidate for the position of president,” Ridenour said.

helpful,” Bambauer said. “I would say their refusal to release the names, in my judgement, runs counter to the binding precedent of the Arizona Supreme Court.” A stifling air of secrecy Confidentiality is nothing new for university presidential searches and is becoming increasingly common across the country. Proponents of confidential searches often refer to “removing the cream off the top” as a consequence of open and transparent searches. They argue that, if the names of candidates get out, and they don’t get the job, it could hurt their reputation or lead to repercussions at their current institution, causing candidates to lose interest. “Public searches are not going to attract the best candidates,” Ridenour said. Despite this assertion, there is no evidence to support the claim that universities won’t get quality candidates without confidentiality. “We haven’t actually seen evidence of any of that,” said Judith Wilde, chief operating officer of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, who has conducted research regarding university presidential search practices. The potential ramifications of being denied these records goes beyond journalists’ ability to report the news.
“Access to government information for the public is fundamental to a representative democracy, which assumes people have the facts they need to adequately self-govern,” Cuillier said. The public may never know what the pool of candidates looked like and, therefore, may never know if the UA community’s desires were taken into consideration. “If you define the word ‘candidate’ too narrowly, you run the risk of the public only ever getting one name,” said Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center. “You’ll have no idea if a diverse pool of candidates ever got considered.” Greg Patterson, chair of the board of regents, is quoted in their latest press release saying the board is “conducting an open, inclusive and transparent search.” Despite this statement, the board and search committee haven’t been willing to release any information about the candidates, even though standing state law puts this information squarely within the public purview. This causes concern for experts and stakeholders alike, and may be seen as chipping away at some of the core values of our democracy. “As citizens, we should be concerned about our government shutting us out,” Cuillier said. “Open government laws and practices are what makes us special in the world.”

POLICE BEAT BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
Bipolar disorder A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the UA Main Library after reports of an angry man walking down the UA Mall from the Student Union Memorial Center on Feb 15. Reporting parties told the officer the man pointed his finger at several of people on the Mall as if it were a gun. When people asked the man if he was OK, he answered loudly with “fuck you” and “what are you gonna do?” Two officers arrived at the Integrated Learning Center, and upon entering several people pointed up the stairs, directing the officers to the disruptive man. As he walked down the stairs with the officers, he yelled profanities until he was handcuffed and placed on a bench. The man told the officer he was aware of his behavior and had a feeling UAPD would speak to him. He explained to the officer he had a bipolar disorder and yelling would help him calm down at times. The man said he is not currently seeking treatment but is speaking with a psychiatrist and agreed he needed to see a doctor. He stated he did not have any weapons on him and had no desire to engage in violence. The man was arrested for disorderly conduct and transported to Pima County Jail. He has a six-month exclusionary order from all UA property. the violation of which would result in arrest for trespassing. Punishment not prescribed A UAPD officer met with a member of Alpha Sigma Phi about stolen medication on Feb. 15. The man said he was DJing when he realized he had not taken his medication. He told the officer he had given a friend access to his room so he could bring him his medication that night. Later that morning, he allowed another friend to go into his room to search for missing keys because his room was already unlocked. When the friend returned, he let him know there was an empty pill bottle, which contained about 26 Vyvanse pills for ADHD. He mentioned that one of the two friends also took ADHD medication. The officer asked if he thought one of his friends stole it and he said no. When the officer asked for the names of both friends, he refused. He stated he needed a police report in order to refill his medication and did not wish to pursue any criminal charges.

President Trump rolls back transgender policies BY LEAH GILCHRIST @leahcgilchrist
T
he issue on bathroom bills has far exceeded the dilemma of allowing people to choose the restroom they feel most comfortable using and has spread into a larger issue of human rights. After a long, turbulent road of government rulings over who can use which bathroom in a public space, the most recent development is not only contradictory, it also shoots us right back to where we started. President Trump announced on Feb. 22 his administration would be withdrawing Barrack Obama-era protections for transgender people that they used to have in public space. In order to do so, Trump overruled his Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, even though she had concerns about how overturning these protections would affect students. Trump’s statement comes almost a year after hem,while campaigning, claimed he would protect transgender people and allow them to continue using the bathroom they identify with. The bathroom issue has been on the table for several years now with the Obama administration working to protect transgender people in public spaces. Under the Obama administration, several states, including California, passed bills allowing transgender people to choose the bathroom they preferred. It comes down
to an issue of human rights. The issue with bathrooms in public spaces isn’t really about bathrooms at all. Sure, it’s part of the issue, but the amount of legislation and going back and forth about whether people should be allowed to use a public bathroom points to an underlying issue. Redacting the current policy would mean people in the transgender community have to use the bathroom that aligns with the biological sex they were assigned at birth. It’s an issue of comfort and acceptance. Ultimately, lawmakers are taking away their right to exist as they want to within certain public spaces. Before any of these issues became a problem for lawmakers, people in the transgender community used whichever bathroom they preferred. Usually, there was no law saying which one they should use, one way or the other, so they carried on doing what they were doing. It’s only recently occurred to lawmakers, especially GOP lawmakers, that we have to suddenly tell a community of people what bathroom they’re allowed to use. People are making this a big issue by making laws that say who is allowed to go where and under what circumstance, instead of just allowing people to behave the same way they always have. Making a big deal about these laws and creating them only to then redact them is toying with a whole community’s right to exist in a public space. For the most part, people only want the public restroom to come in, take care of their own business and get out. This isn’t really an issue of protecting

people from harassment in a public restroom, because many people are fine with people using public restrooms the way they were, as long as everybody has the common courtesy to keep the space clean for everyone who uses it. It’s unfortunate that this is still one of the biggest issues on the table for lawmakers, and that we’re still having discussion on who should be allowed to use what restroom. As part of the American public, people in the
transgender community should feel welcome to exist in public spaces. When we create laws guiding who can use what bathroom, we’re alienating a community from existing as the rest of the public is allowed to. Creating laws that isolate certain communities from basic human rights is what will ultimately divide us as a nation. It’s done no harm so far, so why ruin a freedom that isn’t a problem to begin with?
Rep. Trent Franks warns of nuclear weed BY CHUCK VALADEZ @DailyWildcat
A
rizona Rep. Trent Franks took to his imagination in defending the idea of a border wall on CNN:
“The reality ... is that we have to measure all of the costs, ancillary and otherwise, and make the best decision that we can. But I can suggest to you that there are national security implications here for a porous border. We sometimes used to make the point that if someone wanted to smuggle in a dangerous weapon, even a nuclear weapon, into America, how would they do it? And the suggestion was made, ‘Well, we’ll simply hide it in a bale of

marijuana,’” said Franks to Brianna Keilar on CNN, defending the border wall. This is something an elected official has actually said, and to some on the far Right, I can see how it makes sense. The Trump administration has been coming up with fake terrorist attacks, so you know there has to be a few of his supporters who have some fun conspiracy theories. The far Right is driven completely off of fear. To them, everybody is trying to “take the
freedom away” or trying to wipe us off the face of the Earth completely. This isn’t Frank’s first dance with the idea. In 2012 he made an accusation against Iranians: “Specifically, imagine for a moment, Mr. Speaker, the scenario of Hezbollah, one of Iran’s terrorist proxies, gaining possession of just two nuclear warheads and bringing them across the

Wildcat endorses ASUA candidates The Daily Wildcat endorses the following candidates for AVP and EVP. The presidential endorsement will run Tuesday morning online at DailyWildcat.com along with live coverage of the election results on Wednesday. You can vote online at elections.asua.arizona.edu on Tuesday and Wednesday
ADMINISTRATIVE VICE PRESIDENT
I
LORENZO JOHNSON
t was a tough decision, but we are choosing to endorse Lorenzo Johnson for ASUA administrative vice president. Johnson has a great understanding of the AVP responsibilities and shows leadership potential. He’s a dedicated candidate that will see things through and adapt to whatever situation. Johnson shows appreciation for the role the AVP plays in student lives and the office’s power
to directly impact and improve the UA community through its oversight of the ASUA programs and services, which so many students benefit from. He hopes to raise awareness about what ASUA does and the lack of diversity and inclusivity within ASUA through InformaCats. Johnson demonstrates an understanding of what is attainable through the position with funding in mind. He shows passion for providing a platform for all voices
and supporting students by tailoring each experience in regards to funding programs and services.
Hastings is aware of the flaws currently plaguing the senate—a lack of transparency, a misunderstanding of responsibilities, a weak senate structure, etc. We believe she will prioritize fixing these issues if elected. Hastings wants to better prepare the senators by strengthening and extending the training period they receive before taking office. Her platform focuses on offering programs
and educational modules that will better prepare club leaders to be resources to students dealing with mental health, sexual assault, discrimination and more. She further hopes to make trainings like Safe Zone available to more individuals through universal campus platforms like D2L, making for a more inclusive campus climate.
Editor’s Note: Opinions editor Scott Felix recused himself from the discussion and decision of this endorsement because of his and the candidate’s shared affiliation with Sigma Chi fraternity. Felix is an inactive member and Johnson is currently a pledge.
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
E
EMILY HASTINGS
mily Hastings is real. She understands what is realistically attainable if elected into this position and models her platforms accordingly, and furthermore has a good grasp of fiscal responsibility. While advocating for UA clubs and organizations is a major part of the executive vice president job description, serving as a leader to the senate is equally as important.
SENATE
W
e are choosing not to endorse any senators currently seeking office because, frankly, there is nothing to really endorse. This is an issue. For the second year, following a doubling in the size of the senate and a move to college-specific representation, a wide swath of college-specific seats are uncontested.
The race itself remains largely uncompetitive—nine out of the 11 at-large senate candidates will get elected and all but four college-specific seats have only one candidate vying for office. We challenge the winner of the executive vice presidency—whoever the candidate may be—to fix this.
The current structure of the senate is good on paper— an attempt to ensure that the needs of each individual and unique college be represented—but its execution has thus far been poor. Growing pains are a real thing, and a doubling in size certainly warrants a period of adaptation, but it is time for the EVP to push the senate past that.

border into the United States concealed, say, in bales of marijuana, then transporting them into the heart of two different, crowded, unnamed cities. Then calling and telling the White House exactly when and where the first one will be detonated, and then following through 60 seconds later.” Rep. Franks sure has the imagination to be a far Right politician; the package is perfect for Arizona’s eighth District. The eighth district covers the western and northern part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Maricopa County was infamous for electing Joe Arpaio—the Massachusetts native who got tired of city life and wanted to play old western sheriff in Arizona. Though Rep. Franks has some relatively legitimate theories in far-Right politicking and conservative rhetoric, this theory truly holds no value. For one, cartels don’t want to blow up the United
States, and cartels definitely do not hate America. If America goes, so does a big portion of the cartel’s business. You don’t have to go to the Eller College of Management to figure out that if you blow up your customer base they will no longer be alive to buy more drugs. The second reason this is ridiculous is that it’s incredibly difficult to miniaturize a nuclear weapon to the size of a backpack and then walk it across the border. The only confirmed weapon this small was the MK 54 Special Atomic Demolition Munition system created by the U.S. Military in the late 1960s. Thankfully, the military never actually used that device and today, many counterproliferation experts contend that the threat of a suitcase nuke attack is extremely unrealistic. Rep. Frank’s allegations are fear mongering, plain and simple. The logistics of an attack like the one described by Rep. Franks are so unlikely that they delve into the realm of science fiction.

Science diplomats talk climate UA places Last week’s conference on science and diplomacy spawned an illuminating discussion on climate change BY MICHAELA WEBB @ michaelastoke
U.S. representative Raúl Grijalva said climate change is the greatest danger facing the world right now in his closing speech at the Science Diplomacy and Policy with Focus on the Americas conference in Tucson. Applause erupted from the conference attendees, speakers, panelists and organizers in the audience. The conference was hosted by the UA from Wednesday, Feb. 22, through Friday, Feb. 24, and drew scientists, students, diplomats and others from around the world. The conference aimed to provide a “state of the art” vision for the future in science diplomacy and policy, according to its website. Climate change was a central theme on the final day of the conference. A three-person panel, “Climate Change Challenges for the Americas and the Role of Science Diplomacy,” addressed the issue of climate change from scientific and political standpoints. The panel included researchers Paty Romero Lankao, Diana Liverman and Hem Nalini Morzaria-Luna. Lankao, a senior scientist and head of the Urban Futures initiative at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, began the discussion by explaining three key challenges that scientists face when it comes to climate change: • The challenge of being relevant to society and decision-making • The challenge of being credible • Creating science that is technically sound • The challenge of creating knowledge that does not favor one stakeholder over another Of her work on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, she said many of the questions that need to be addressed in the future are not only scientific questions, but those with social and political consequences. Liverman, a UA regents professor in geography and development and former director of Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute, began her talk by focusing on the implications of climate change for the Arizonan geographical region in particular. She took a critical stance on the levels of commitment made during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in 2015.
“I just want to remind us of what we’re facing in this hemisphere,” Liverman said. “We know that if emissions continue with business as usual the region is going to warm by two degrees by the middle of the century, and by more than four degrees centigrade by the end of the century. That’s the lifetime of our children, and we’re going to be facing sea level rise and more extreme events.” She stressed the need for more serious commitments of reducing carbon emissions in the region and beyond. Even if all commitments made at the Paris conference were fulfilled, it would still mean 3.5 degrees Celsius of continued warming globally, according to Liverman. “That could be five or six degrees in some parts of our region, including Arizona, which is a hotspot in terms of climate change,” Liverman said. “I don’t think any other country has the problems of science communication and public perception that the United States has,” Liverman said. Although global leaders certainly face challenges, Liverman said one way recent science has successfully influenced diplomacy and policy is by bringing climate change vulnerability and adaptation to the forefront of international climate conversation. She said that the scientific community needs to look further into climate change in relation to a more globalized world. “Climate change at the other side of the world can affect food prices and prices that our farmers get for their crops,” Liverman said. Morzaria-Luna, a senior research specialist at the Intercultural Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans, an organization within the United States and Mexico that focuses on conservation, research and education, was the last speaker in the panel. She said climate change will have huge impacts not only on fish populations, but also on the fishers who depend them for their livelihoods. “As climate change affects progress, the importance of science and diplomacy become more important,” Morzaria-Luna said. She emphasized the need for scientists to be ardent and urgent in their responses toward the increasingly apparent consequences of climate change. “You can still do relevant and technically sound science that meets the needs of policy makers right away,” she said.

American Association for Advancement of Science, was science and technology adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State from 2011-2014 and honorary chair for the conference. He stressed that climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. “There are a lot of vested interests related to the issue of our current fossil fuel-based energy system. So it takes a while to galvanize the public and political opinion to deal with them,” he said. “I wish it could’ve been done faster, but at least it’s moving in the right direction.”
“Traditional Indian Medicine: American Indian Wellness” is not your typical textbook. Patrisia Gonzales, associate professor of Mexican American studies and American Indian studies, is not your typical professor. As the granddaughter of Kickapoo, Comanche and Macehual peoples, Gonzales grew up surrounded by traditional healers and spent many years teaching and speaking on local, national and international levels about how traditional medicine and Western health care can work together. Gonzales teaches two classes, American Indian Medicine and Wellness: Traditional and Contemporary Practices of Health and Wellness, and Mexican Traditional Medicine. As far as she knows, very few teach in her style, which pulls from the roughly 500 native tribes in the U.S. She’s also the first to create a textbook on the subject. “I found books that are excellent but no textbooks, nothing with teaching prompts,” Gonzales said. The book is divided into nine sections with topics from mental health to plants, and is divided into units featuring articles from various native and non-native thinkers. “I wanted it to be coming directly from native teachings,” Gonzales said. “It’s nice to see how native thinkers approach this. There are a lot of links to native produced content, like videos.” The book is designed to be used in Gonzales’ classes, which have been full since they began in 2010 but can also be used by an independent learner. “The goal is to make people really understand the values behind the practices, because the practices vary,” Gonzales said. “They’re very much place-based, expressed in all the elements, with an understanding of creation and the creator. It’s the values that endure.” Those values include respect for the Earth, maintaining balance, reciprocity and connecting with others and the environment. “We talk about sustainability, but part of that is not taking too much—reciprocity,” Gonzales said. With the nature of the class, Gonzales is careful to discuss appropriation. “People will often ask about the practices,

but it’s about the values,” Gonzales said. “We want to respect the teachings, not copy the practices. We talk about appropriation. We learn cultural competency.” Two-thirds of the students in the class now are in the health sciences, according to Gonzales. She believes all health sciences students should be exposed to these systems of values before they graduate. Casey Lindberg is a postdoctoral research associate at the UA Institute on Place and Wellbeing (UAIPW), which works to understand the role of the built environment in human health and wellbeing—another integrative view of humans and environment. Lindberg teaches Health and Wellbeing in the Built Environment: A Tour of the Senses and Beyond, and also believes that integrative methods of thinking are vital for students. “I think this kind of course should be required for all design students,” Lindberg said. “It’s not an easy thing. We’re really taking about a cultural change in defining what sustainability is.” That shift means looking at the carbon footprint of buildings and the relationship between the building and occupants, similar to Gonzales’ angle of relationships between humans and environment. “Buildings should be built for people, but often they’re primarily built for aesthetic or art,” Lindberg said. Some elements that can affect health and wellbeing include lack of air circulation, not enough light, too much noise or dangerous chemicals and gasses. “Each of those elements is each its own field of study that’s evolving right now,” Lindberg said. “What the field is evolving into is how to optimize design for health and wellbeing. That could be different for different environments.” For a learning setting, you might want it quiet, with a view of nature—but not too quiet. “Noise can have a negative impact, but sometimes you still want some kind of noise,”
Lindberg said. “Daylighting [using natural light to illuminate interiors] is something that’s been pretty clear for a while that it’s good for you, for your circadian rhythm, but it’s still not done very well.” Lindberg said common issues are many windows, but all on one side of the room, or poor light distribution, making it too bright and hot, causing people to pull down the shades and defeat the purpose. He works to develop office layouts promoting health and wellbeing, using the new technology of wearable sensors that measure heart rate, physical activity, light and noise, among other things. “Before you had to rely on survey data, which is really important and still part of the picture, but having sensor data is the new wave of the future, and we’re kind of leading the way,” Lindberg said. The UAIPW combines expertise from UA units such as the College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture, Eller College of Management, psychology, medicine and the Center for Integrative Medicine, working to improve design students’ scientific literacy for evaluating claims. “Architects and designers are good at knowing a little bit about a lot of things to act as a go-between for different parties, but historically have been lacking scientific literacy,” Lindberg said. “We think it could be a powerful tool in their arsenal.” Lindberg is helping develop a new Master of Science track for architecture, based on health and wellbeing. “It’s growing really fast, here at the University of Arizona, nationwide and worldwide,” Lindberg said. “Talking with current architects, they say this knowledge is a big thing they’re looking for in designers they’re hiring.” Gonzales and Lindberg both foresee the overall trend toward more demand for integrative thinking and knowledge continuing to rise. Gonzales is planning on another textbook, on pre-Columbian medicine, but not for two years, after she’s finished her revisions and tweaks.

Peace fair connects community and justice One of Tucson’s largest gatherings of peace, justice and environmental groups celebrates their 35th year talking justice and activisim BY KIRSHANA GUY @DailyWildcat
Tucson’s 35th Annual Peace Fair and Music Festival took place at Armory Park on Feb. 25, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Peace Fair and Music Festival is one of Arizona’s largest gatherings amongst peace, justice and environmental advocates. The groups present ranged from Planned Parenthood to Showing Up for Racial Justice. The event featured live music, food tents, children’s activities such as face painting and other sorts of entertainment throughout the park. Participants sold items such as T-shirts, rocks, gems, posters and signs that expressed many ways to support the ideas of peace and justice for all. Steve Poe, a Tucson resident, said he was drawn to the Peace Fair because of the theme, “Demilitarization-Solidarity Not Hate; Let’s Stand Together.” He said this idea is something he had been hoping and working on for most of his life. Poe didn’t serve in the military, but he did grow up during the Vietnam War. “My draft number was a major concern, but no, I did not serve,” Poe said. He said that he had a high draft number and did not have to go to war, which allowed him to finish college and move on to teach fifth and sixth grade, which he taught for about 30 years. Poe said that the variety and the number of causes present was great. “We kind of walked around one way; now we are walking back,” Poe said. “We have probably seen about two-thirds of the setups.” When asked about the possibility of donating to the any of the causes while at the event, Poe said that he already donates to some of the programs that were present, like Planned Parenthood. One advocacy group present included Veterans for Peace Tucson Chapter 13. The purpose of the group is “to serve the cause of world peace through non-violent and democratic means,” according their

cards distributed at the event. The current president of Chapter 13, Bob Phillips, shared some of the difficulties faced by anyone trying to recruit veterans to support non-violent approaches to international peace. “With any veterans’ organization, the real challenge we have is that none of us can get young veterans,” Phillips said. “They are just not interested.” One of the issues the group displayed for attendees was encapsulated in an informational packet called “VA Needs Billions for Staff & Facilities, & Better Management – NOT PRIVITIZATION,” by Buzz Davis and Ian Smith. For more
information, you can contact the Veterans for Peace by visiting their website, www. veteransforpeace.org. The Global Art Project was another group respresented at the festival. Karen Phelps, a volunteer at the Global Art Project, hosted a booth on behalf of the organization to contribute an active presence at the peace fair. Phelps said the founder and director of the Global Art Project, Katherine Josten, a local artist, founded the program in 1994. Since then, Josten has reached out to over 130,000 participants around the world. “This is an international art exchange that anybody can be a
part of,” Phelps said. Any individual or group can register to take part, and every other year there is an international exchange of the media that is organized. “Whatever the individual or the group creates, they are matched with someone else,” Phelps said. In the following April, all the products of the participants’ creative works, themed around their vision of global unity, peace and oneness, is given as part of a 1-to-1 art trade with someone else anywhere in the world. According to Phelps, it is exciting that “anybody can get involved.” One does not need to be an artist to spread the message of peace around the world.
“There are a lot of teachers who get their classrooms involved and a lot of individuals that get involved, too,” Phelps said. This project allows for individuals to celebrate and cherish the diversity of the world while simultaneously connecting those individuals. If you are interested in getting involved or attending events like this, visit the Tucson Peace Calendar online for upcoming events and meetings. There you can learn about a multitude of programs available to those in the Tucson community, or donate to the Tucson Peace Center in support of the annual Peace Fair and Music Festival.

Rodeo offers fans an exciting final giddy up La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros,One of Tucson’s most popular events pleases fans, vendors and winners of big rodeo categories and prizes BY SARAH COVEY @sparklyoverlord
With clear blue skies, warm sunshine and a steady temperature of about 67 degrees, La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros, more commonly known as the Tucson Rodeo, started off this Saturday with a more successful start than last weekend when only die-heart rodeo fans were brave enough to stick it out through the rain. Parking lots were full of cars to the point where fans had to park in nearby lots or neighborhoods. The rodeo grounds were chockfull of attendees, security and staff. Excited spectators packed the stands, leaving little room to sit. Many ate hot corn, fry bread, hotdogs, tacos, cotton candy and other rodeo treats. Among adults, silver Coors beer cans were not short in supply, as they were permitted to drink in the stands, so long as they did so “responsibly.” This Saturday, gates opened at 11 a.m. with Ram Mutton Bustin’ and Junior Rodeo events going from 12:30-2 p.m., pro rodeo events continued from 2-4:30 p.m. and the Coors Barn Dance closed the event, holding out until 8 p.m. Events in the pro rodeo competition included bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronco riding, tie down roping, barrel racing and bull riding, with bits of wild west entertainment sprinkled in between. Pistol Preece, 20, a bull riding competitor who came from Troy, Texas, managed to score a whopping 84.5 points, qualifying him for the final round on Sunday. “Today’s rodeo was pretty good, I made some money,” Preece said smiling and referencing his win of $679. “I’m a fourthgeneration rider. I’ve been at this a long, long time. I put a lot of hard work into it during the week, trying to train my mind to focus so I’m ready for anything. I know a lot of guys get amped up or nervous, but my adrenaline just gets going and I have fun.” Between the competitive events, a bumbling rodeo Spiderman, bullfighters and sing-along music like “Sweet Caroline” entertained audience members of all ages, but the event that stood out for 37-year-old Eva Savin and her 2-year-old daughter, Hazel, was the women’s barrel racing. “She loves the horses, and the barrel racing was her favorite,” said Savin, showing her daughter horses through a fence outside the stadium. “I had to lie to her when that one girl fell down, because she didn’t see her get back up. She started crying and I told her the next girl riding was the same girl, and then she was fine.” Savin, in her story, was recounting when barrel racer Callie Van Tassell’s horse lost its balance, sending her to the ground. Van Tassell had to walk along the stadium without her horse, but Wayne Brooks, the Pro Rodeo announcer, managed to get the audience to applaud her twice for her efforts. Vendors at the rodeo were more optimistic this Saturday, displaying their wares to eager customers stopping by for souvenirs ranging from leather boots, pins and apparel to food and drink. Emie Theriot, owner of Pink Lasso, hosted a bright-pink booth on the rodeo grounds, selling cowgirl apparel, ropes and horse-shoe art. She said that sales had went well that day, largely in part to the weather, because she didn’t have to fight the elements to keep her store up. “The weather [last Saturday] was really bad, my booth didn’t make it through because the wind hit my booth and broke one

leg,” said Theriot, “The attendance was a lot lower, from my understanding, because of the weather. Today was great, though. They said it was a sold-out crowd.” Jayme Pribula, a 19-year-old studying nutritional science at the UA, said the rodeo was something she and her friend, Malic Boyer, had been coming for three or four years independently, starting out of high school. “We’re dedicated to it, ever since I’ve been a kid, we’d have that half of a week off,” Pribula said. “It’s a fun culture to be around. I grew up in Tucson, so at our high school we’d have Country Thunder, ... a remake of it, and do country dancing.” Boyer, a 20-year-old also studying nutritional science at the UA, said bull riding was her favorite event. She loved how friendly everyone was, no matter where she and Pribula were. “We were talking to random people in the stands and even at the Coors Barn. Everyone was really friendly,” Boyer said. “Two guys taught me how to dance. I didn’t know how and they were like ‘don’t worry, we’ll teach it to you.’ It’s nice because it’s not creepy, like other parties.” Both students also said the guys were more polite, thanking them after a dance, and shaking hands with them. As the sun went down over the rodeo grounds, families and cowboys alike shuffled out, making last-minute stops at booths and animal pens. Footloose could be heard coming from the Coors Barn where couples, families and event hosts danced together to a live band.

Feb. 25 important day in UA athletics history BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
When it’s all said and done, Feb. 25, 2017, will go down as one of the most memorable and signature days in Arizona Athletics history. Of course the primary focus of Saturday was the basketball matchup with No. 5 UCLA and No. 4 Arizona, but the UA was the hotspot for headlines. From the first top-five battle in the Pac-12 Conference since 2008 to hiring a new athletic director, the final Saturday of February will always go down in history books of arguably the most iconic day for UA sports. College GameDay The most talked-about headline for Arizona was ESPN’s College GameDay coming to town to spotlight arguably the most crucial home game for head coach Sean Miller in his time at Arizona. This wasn’t just the normal conference game, but rather a step closer to the No. 1 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament, as well as the NCAA Tournament. The sun didn’t peak over the mountains before the line of fans waiting to get inside McKale Center was pushing the curb on Cherry Avenue. GameDay anchor Rece Davis said McKale Center was the “most engaging” crowd the show has had all season, but every analyst selected UCLA to win and looks like they were right. Overall it was the third time the GameDay crew came to the Old Pueblo and the college basketball world had its eyes on the Wildcats and Bruins.
New man in charge Shortly after GameDay, when the atmosphere on the UA campus was calm and there was the “downtime” until the basketball game started, Arizona hired Dave Heeke from Central Michigan as the new athletic director, replacing Greg Byrne who left for Alabama and interim director Erika Barnes. “I am pleased and excited that Dave [Heeke] has accepted the position,” UA President Ann Weaver Hart said in a release statement. “He has experience at the highest levels of competitive college sports and he is an acknowledged national leader among NCAA athletic directors. Dave is a perfect match for our Wildcat family.” Heeke has Pac-12 experience serving as an associate athletics director at Oregon for 18 years, handling a $40 million budget. He’s been the athletic director at CMU since 2006 and had a $22.5 million project to renovate the Rose Center where the Chippewas play basketball, volleyball and wrestle. The news broke from the Detroit Free Press just before 1 p.m., and just like that, a new Vice President for Athletics was the second domino to fall Saturday. Arizona football making history Who would’ve thought in February, especially coming off a 3-9 season, Arizona football would be in the news unrelated to spring football. 2017 recruit and defensive end from Tempe
My-King Johnson became the first openly gay scholarship player in Football Bowl Subdivision history. The Arizona Daily Star profiled Johnson and mentioned during his recruiting defensive line coach Vince Amey told him, “We want you to be a Wildcat.” Johnson came out as openly gay when he was 12 years old and always felt comfortable with who he is as a person. As a football player, Johnson will look to play a major role in Arizona’s defensive line next season. Baseball is rolling Arizona baseball is already has the best start under head coach Jay Johnson, going 7-0 after handling McNeese State 12-3.It’s also the best open to a season since 2007 and the Wildcats have scored 78 runs so far this season while hitting .376; however, Arizona has a date with Arkansas on Friday, so maybe the Razorbacks can give the ‘Cats their first loss of the season. For now, Johnson and his staff continue to succeed in the non-conference circuit. Kadeem Allen’s nightmare Miller has never lost on senior night and the last team to lose on the final home game of the season was in 2008—ironically against UCLA. Miller preached about Allen’s leadership and defensive presence he brings to the team all season long. With the game on the line on the last possession for Arizona as they trailed by 3, Allen’s legacy moment was to hit a 3-pointer and send
the game into overtime. Instead Allen’s shot was wide right and didn’t even touch the basket, making the Bruins victorious in Tucson. Unfortunately for Allen, being the lone senior, McKale Center still honored him after the game despite the outcome. “I certainly did not want one game to take away from one of the greatest kids I’ve ever coached,” Miller said. Miller didn’t want Allen to receive flak, emphasizing that he’s still one of the best defenders and overall men Miller has came across at Arizona. From North Carolina to junior college to playing at a blue-blood program like Arizona, Allen took the road less traveled and has become the true leader of the team, no matter what the outcome. “In my mind, he has become a man out here in Tucson,” Miller said. “He is one of the best defenders we have ever had. Our team’s leader, heart and soul.” Softball falls short to No. 1 Florida State The No. 9-ranked Arizona softball team had a recognizable game as the Wildcats took on No. 1 Florida State in the final game of the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic. The Wildcats fell to the Seminoles 1-0 and got their first loss of the season after starting 15-0. Going 0-for-2 at bat, Alyssa Palomino struck out swinging with a runner on second base, so both softball and basketball came down to the wire with a chance to tie it, but neither could execute.

In their last game in McKale Center, seniors Dezja James, LaBrittney Jones, Malena Washington, Breanna Workman and Lauren Evans combined to score 62 of the 67 Wildcats points to defeat visiting USC 67-62 in Sunday’s home women’s basketball finale. All five seniors got the starting nod from Arizona head coach Adia Barnes and subsequently put up 24 points, including a trio of 3s from Washington, to jump out to a 24-14 lead at the end of the first quarter. “I said to myself it’s either going to be awesome or it’s going to be horrendous,” said Barnes when asked why she hadn’t started all five seniors before. “When it’s good and we started good, everyone is going to ask ‘Well why didn’t you start them,’ so I think it’s par for the course, but I think they did a really good job.” Arizona dominated play for a majority of the first half, but then started to falter, scoring only 8 points in the second quarter and allowing USC to cut the lead to 5 by halftime. The Wildcats turned the ball over 11 times in the second quarter and allowed USC 6 points, rivaling the 8 put up in the entire quarter by Arizona. In the third quarter, James put the
Wildcats back on track and scored 10 consecutive points en route to a 14-point, 12-rebound performance. James was one of four Wildcats in double figures, joining fellow seniors Jones, Workman and Washington. “I know Malena [Washington] was looking for me that whole third quarter,” James said. “This was our last game in McKale [Center], I didn’t want to regret anything looking back.” Jones continued her pursuit of placing herself in the top 10 of all-time Wildcats in terms of scoring. She passed Aimee Grzyb for 12th all-time after her 16-point effort today, needing only 26 points to crack the top-10. Jones could be in the top-10 in rebounds, blocks and points to finish her season if she is able to do so. In the fourth quarter, USC put up a fight on the back of Minyon Moore, who scored a game-high 21 points—11 in the fourth quarter alone. Moore kept feeding off of more turnovers by Arizona, finding other Trojans like Courtney Jaco, who hit her only two 3s of the game in the fourth quarter. USC shot 4-for-7 behind the arch to tie the game with just over four minutes left. From that point it was a back-and-forth affair, and it was the senior class that weathered the USC attack and found a way to win. A large part of that was due to Jones scoring 11 points, including the

game winning free throws to secure the victory for Arizona. “We made a couple of mistakes backto-back, which got the game kind of close and so we just knew we didn’t want to lose our last game in McKale [Center] and we all just turned it up a notch,” Jones said.
The win gives Arizona five conference wins on the season, four more than they had last season. The victory also moved Arizona to the No. 11 seed in the Pac12 Tournament this week, facing No. 6 Oregon in Seattle Thursday at 9:30 p.m. MST on Pac-12 Networks.
Baseball sweeps weekend, 8-0 on season BY ROSS OLSON @rossolson95
The Arizona baseball team scored 24 runs in two days en route to a sweep over McNeese State at Hi Corbett Field to improve to 8-0 on the season. The Wildcats won 12-3 on Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday. The UA has no shortage of offensive firepower through the early stages of the season as its scored 86 runs and has five players hitting over .400. “You can’t ignore the offense and the consistent, quality at-bats and a lot of different ways to score,” said Arizona head coach Jay Johnson. “[We’re] still executing the bunting game and the hitand-run game at a high level and hitting a lot of extra-base hits.” While the offense has yet to slow down, the rotation has been a bit of a question mark outside of ace J.C. Cloney who is 2-0 and has yet to allow an earned run. On Sunday, UA used six pitchers. Alfonso Rivas got the nod but only went two-thirds of an inning after
allowing three runs—two of which were unearned—after some bad luck with errors and infield hits. The Wildcats found themselves in a 4-0 hole early on but were able to battle back, an early theme of the UA’s season thus far. “They value that there’s no clock in baseball,” Johnson said. “They do a good job of competing, and I think they value winning. It’s not over until it’s over.” The UA quickly responded by tying the game in the third, thanks to a threerun home run by Jared Oliva, his second of the season, to come within one. The Wildcats tied the game when Rivas walked with the bases loaded. The game was knotted at five until the seventh inning when Arizona batted around in the order and erupted for seven runs. The inning started with Oliva, who doubled to left and moved to third on a bunt by Cameron Cannon. Oliva promptly scored on an RBI ground out by Kyle Lewis. Arizona would not stop there, as Mitchell Morimoto, J.J. Matijevic and

Arizona falls short on national stage vs UCLA BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
The Arizona Wildcats gave up 20 second-chance points off of 14 offensive rebounds to No. 4 UCLA and cost themselves the outright Pac-12 Conference regular season championship, losing to the Bruins 77-72 in McKale Center Saturday. Kadeem Allen had a chance to tie the game at 75, but his last-second attempt missed the rim wide right, bringing his final game in McKale Center to an end on senior night. Sophomore Allonzo Trier led the way for Arizona with 28 points and five rebounds. After the loss, Trier reiterated Allen’s importance to the team: “I told him I love him,” Trier said when asked what he said to Allen after the game. “I appreciate him for everything. His effort, his leadership, everything he brings to the team.” The Bruins tried to push the pace with their up-tempo brand of offense, but Arizona was able to slow them down with made baskets and long possessions. UCLA found success when they strung together defensive stops against the Wildcats. The Bruins went on an 11-0 run after an early Allen 3-point shot, and star freshman Lonzo Ball found his comfort zone early. Ball finished the first half of the game with 11 points, five rebounds and eight assists. The future NBA lottery pick led the Bruins in +/- (12) and impacted the game with a few key defensive plays as well. In a back-and-forth first half, neither team was able to break the game open, and the biggest lead of the half was UCLA by 7 points. Parker Jackson-Cartwright scored 9 points in the first half, with the last 4 of those points earned in the last 14 seconds to give Arizona a 4-point edge at halftime. He finished with 11 points and six assists. The energy both on the floor and in the arena remained frantic heading into the second half, and both teams continued to answer each other. Ball wasted no time launching the second half with a coast-to-coast layup on UCLA’s first possession, as the teams picked up right where the first half ended. Any shift in momentum was met by a made basket on the other end of the floor. While it did at first seem like no team could put any distance between themselves, it was the Bruins who made the second half’s first big run. With UCLA ahead 56-55 and 11:47 to go, the Wildcats went cold from the field and allowed the Bruins to go on an 11-2 run that spanned five minutes. The Bruins

Cesar Salazar all had RBI singles before Oliva hit a tworun double to left to cap off the seven-run inning. Oliva finished 3-5 with a home run, two doubles, two runs and five RBIs. “The results are showing up,” Oliva said. “I’m still focused on the process of things and getting good pitches to hit. I could line out four times and still be happy. The hits are falling and that’s always good and we’re helping the team win, and that’s the biggest thing.” The game was cut short as McNeese State had a travel

connected on three consecutive 3-point shots during the run, and the Wildcats found themselves staring at a 67-57 deficit with 6:47 to go. “They went to their 3-2 zone and we just didn’t execute,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “We had only four offensive rebounds and 4 second-chance points. We lost our purpose [against the zone].” UCLA’s five-minute spurt proved to be the only difference in the game. The Wildcats were in the midst of a run several times in the final five minutes, but the Bruins were able to hit enough shots to keep the Wildcats at bay. Arizona held the ball with under 10 seconds left trailing only by 3 points but were unable to convert after Allen botched a 3 and UCLA subsequently secured the rebound. Arizona struggled on the glass throughout the night, and the Bruins were able to take advantage of the Wildcats’ inability to secure defensive rebounds. The
Bruins snared 14 offensive rebounds, and it led to 20 second-chance points compared to just 4 for the Wildcats. “I think the storyline of winning and losing for us tonight was twofold,” Miller said. “One, you gave up 14 secondshots, 20 second-chance points and 11 of their 14 secondshots happened in 20 minutes. They were the bigger, stronger, tougher more physical team after the ball.” Arizona now sits in a tie for first place in the Pac-12 with the Oregon Ducks, but the Ducks own the tiebreaker over the Wildcats after defeating them Feb. 4. The Wildcats wrap up their regular season against ASU next weekend, and Miller is already looking forward to the matchup. “Tough loss—we’ll put this behind us in some ways,” Miller said. “In other ways to learn from it and a week from today to be better, healthy and ready to go.” The Wildcats wrap up the regular season on Saturday, March 4, in Tempe when they take on the ASU Sun Devils at 2 p.m. MST. The game will be aired on CBS.
curfew approaching. The UA may have found a solid No. 2 starter behind Cloney in the form of Rio Gomez, who has pitched admirably in his two starts. Gomez went 5.1 innings and allowed two earned runs with five strikeouts in Saturday’s 12-3 win. On the season, Gomez is 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA and 11 strikeouts. The team also received solid work out the bullpen by Cody Deason and Austin Schnabel, who combined to allow one run in 3.2 innings of work. Arizona was led offensively by the same faces— Oliva, Morimoto, Cal Stevenson, Matijevic and Nick Quintana—who combined to go 10-20 with five RBIs
and eight runs. The Wildcats will play an exhibition game Tuesday night at Hi Corbett Field against the NC Dinos, a professional Korean team. With the UA playing eight games in nine days, Johnson said the goal of the exhibition game is to explore the team’s depth and get players who haven’t played extensively this season. “I think we’ll use a lot of guys on Tuesday,” Johnson said. “I think we’ll use it as an improvement day for our team in terms of depth. We need to get some guys on the mound; we need to get some guys to play that haven’t gotten a ton of at-bats. There’s plenty of good players so it will be good to create an opportunity for a few guys.”

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies condoms as medical devices to be regulated and manufactured according to national standards.
How often do condoms break? Not very often. Research and testing of condoms indicate that approximately 1-3% of condoms break. Few things in life are perfect, including human behavior. Condoms fail more often due to human errors and omissions such as ripping a package open with teeth, using oil-based lubricants which weaken the latex, trapping air bubbles in the condom while rolling it down the penis shaft, or lack of adequate lubrication (human or water-based). The failure of condoms to protect against STD/HIV transmission usually results from inconsistent or incorrect use, rather than product failure. To achieve maximum protection, condoms must be used consistently and correctly each and every time. Here are some tips: • Don’t buy or use condoms past their expiration date. • Never reuse a condom. • Store condoms in a cool, dry place, not in a glove compartment or your wallet for an extended length of time. • Open the condom packet with care. Never use scissors, a knife, or teeth.
• Follow package directions. • Squeeze the tip of the condom while unrolling. • Use only water-based lubricants, such as Astroglide or K-Y Jelly. Oil-based lubricants, such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, or body lotion can weaken the latex. • If you’re allergic to latex, buy condoms made from polyurethane. A lambskin (“natural” condom) is too porous to prevent the transmission of disease (although it provides excellent contraception). Numerous studies have shown that latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and reducing the risk of transmission of gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. Proper and consistent use of condoms also reduces the risk of transmitting infections which appear on the skin (e.g. genital herpes, syphilis, and chancroid) when the infected area or site of potential exposure is covered and protected.
