Dozens of supporters rally against HB 2281 which bans the Mexican American Studies program in place throughout TUSD

BY SHAQ DAVIS @ShaqDavis1

Outside of the federal courts downtown students rallied to share their experiences with the Mexican American Studies throughout the Tucson Unified School District during a trial concerning the bill banning the program.

The United Non-discriminatory Individuals Demanding Our Studies, or U.N.I.D.O.S., gathered participants near the Evo A. DeConcini Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse to protest against HB 2281.

The trial, which began Monday, June 26, will determine if former Arizona Superintendent Tom Horne and former state Sen. John Huppenthal created HB 2281 with discriminatory intent in 2010.

Denisse Rebeil, a U.N.I.D.O.S member and former UA student said the purpose of the event was not only to give updates on the court proceedings but to encourage Tucson’s Hispanic community.

“We want to empower our community and make sure that they know that we’re going to continue the fight,” she said. “This isn’t the end whatever happens, whatever the results are.”

The coalition’s list of demands includes elimination of HB 2281 from the statutes with no copycat laws in the future, restoration of the M.A.S course and expansion of the education.

After elimination of the law, the state must also

release a public statement acknowledging the racial trauma caused by the bill.

U.N.I.D.O.S. has worked to gather support from other neighboring states like California by visiting and sharing their stories.

“We actually had people who came down from Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley,” said U.N.I.D.O.S. member Leo Herrera. “People that came down here to support not only what’s going down in the court case but also the community here.”

He said people around the country have shown support and understand the struggle they’re going through.

U.N.I.D.O.S organized a “chain in” in 2011 where supporters chained themselves to chairs to protest a TUSD governing board meeting. The meeting was set to make a decision regarding eliminating some of M.A.S classes from the districts’ core curriculum. The meeting was ultimately canceled.

The law, as stated in the statutes, prohibits promoting the overthrow of the United States government, resentment toward a race or class of people, courses that are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group and advocating of ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.

In 2012, the TUSD school board voted to eliminate the M.A.S courses due to a notification that the district could lose up to 10

In a blow to undocumented students, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival students — also known as DREAMers — do not have legal status in the state and therefore are ineligible to receive in-state tuition rates.

For Pima Community College student Erendida (who asked her last name be withheld), the ruling could have dire consequences for her education.

“As soon as I heard about it, I started to cry,” she said through tears.

As a 19-year-old undocumented immigrant, the ruling will have profound financial ramifications.

Erendida is heartbroken over the decision.

“I already can’t afford a full schedule,” she said. “This just makes me getting my education last so much longer.”

Brought to Arizona by her parents at the age of 3, Erendida has a unique window into immigration policy and its effects.

“My younger sisters were both born here, so they are eligible for everything as citizens,” she said.

An Arizona Board of Regents survey in December 2016 found that 45 DACA students attend the UA. Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Matt Lubisich estimated a higher number, perhaps between 60 and 70.

Lubisich said he was taken aback by the ruling.

“Obviously it’s a huge disappointment,” he said. “I’ve been working with DACA students for the last half-semester. This is not the outcome we wanted.”

The appeals court overturned a 2015 ruling by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Arthur Anderson, which determined that DACA recipients were lawfully present in the U.S. and therefore

Colleges explore new approaches to free speech University administrators from around the country spoke about different ideas, policies and programs they’re using to address the First Amendment on their campuses

BY SHAQ DAVIS @ShaqDavis1

On Sept. 26, 2016, Mi-Ai Parrish, Nicole Carroll and Phil Boas stood in front of a live online audience and told them why the Arizona Republic had broken with its traditionally conservative stance — one that had stood since 1890.

“We fielded thousands of angry calls — tens of thousands of angry calls, and emails — and we did lose subscribers and we got death threats,” said Parrish, president of Republic Media.

She didn’t regret the editorial board’s controversial decision to endorse Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for president, and she said she would do it again.

The election brought a greater importance to understanding and publishing different views, Parrish said during her keynote address at the second annual Constitutional Issues in Higher Education Symposium, June 22 hosted by the dean of student office at the James E. Rogers College of Law. The Arizona Republic made it its mission to find pro-Trump columnists to write about that perspective, but the rise of the Republican front-runner still came as a surprise.

“That creates a responsibility for us and for our community to not only understand that point of view and that concern and those issues, but to make sure it gets reflected in our pages and in our opinions,” she said.

The past year brought many learning experiences and valuable lessons, according to Parrish.

“I think that the anger and fear, the frustration, the disconnection, the

divisiveness that we’ve seen in the last year are ignored at our peril,” she said. “I think that those who value democracy, as all of us do, those who have the ability to reflect and to listen and to partner and to lead in a constructive way, I believe we have an obligation — we have a responsibility.”

Parrish’s comments introduced a full-day event on topics of the evolving political rhetoric as it pertains to college campuses. Speakers detailed the efforts of the UA and other college campuses to help encourage and engage students in civil discussion.

Kendal Washington White, dean of students, told guests of the symposium the UA is committed to inclusiveness.

“As a land grant institution located on the lands of the Tohono O’odham people, bordering Mexico, we are serious about our responsibility to provide inclusive and accessible education in our work and interactions with the community,” she said.

Here are a few of the ideas colleges around the country are trying to protect free speech on their campuses.

Freedom of preach The UA has dealt with several incidents on campus between students and campus preachers.

Most notably in 2016, Brother Dean Saxton was arrested and banned from campus for a year for kicking a female student in the chest.

Universities continually face the challenge of protecting its students and their learning environment while also protecting First Amendment rights on campus.

UA encourages programs in Prague POLICE BEAT ww

Three students and a professor from UA talked about how they hope to forge a stronger relation with Czech Republic schools

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

PRAGUE — Three students and a professor representing the UA were personally invited to share their experience of studying abroad in the Czech Republic, and to talk about how to bring more students to the country at a Fulbright Conference on June 12.

The event sought to educate Czech university administrators on ways to establish student exchanges, research collaborations and other relationships with U.S. institutions.

Carol Bender, director of the UA’s Undergraduate Biology Research Program and two-time Fulbright recipient, discussed her successes and challenges when developing cooperation plans with Czech universities alongside faculty from Drexel University, Middlebury College and Louisiana State University.

Bender has spent the last three summers at the Institute of Parasitology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Ceské Budejovice, administering and teaching the students in the UA Prozkoumat program.

The program provides UA students the opportunity to conduct 10 weeks of directed research in a laboratory at the Institute of Parasitology.

The Institute shares a campus with the University of South Bohemia and was once a popular destination for students in a since-disbanded Biomedical Research Abroad program, also directed by Bender.

“UA students are looking for the types of experiences Czech universities have to offer,” Bender told the crowd of around 100 representatives from institutions across the country.

She listed “shared values” and “responsiveness” as two key factors in establishing and maintaining these international university relationships.

In fact, “the number of American students studying in the Czech Republic increased by 14.6 percent in 2015-2016,” wrote Kai Armstrong, a member of Fairfield University’s Creative Media Marketing team, in a research study presented at the event.

Armstrong cited the strength of Czech academic programs, proximity to other European countries and its affordable cost of living as the major factors drawing students to the country.

Bender also advised Czech universities to carefully consider the academic programs they offer to students, as this is often the determining factor for students.

She suggested making sure courses in English are easily accessible and transferable.

While Bender said she continues to return to the beautiful country because of

its people and atmosphere, her students only realize the lasting impacts of a summer abroad after they return home.

They return with new experience in international relationships and cuttingedge scientific research alongside their cultural exposure.

“The importance of international collaborations cannot be overstated, particularly in STEM fields where it is imperative that culturally competent STEM professionals work together on issues facing humankind,” Bender told the crowd and wrote in a subsequent press release.

Kimmy Skvarla, Neuroscience and Cognitive Science junior, and Michael Ragone, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Math senior and myself answered audience questions regarding their experience as U.S. students in the Czech Republic.

Skvarla, a student involved in the Prozkoumat program, is conducting 10 weeks of directed research on tick innate immunity in the Laboratory of Vector Immunology headed by Daniel Sojka.

“I have had an amazing experience so far,” Skvarla told the crowd.

She discussed the personal relationships she had formed with her lab mates. Her experience prompted audience questions about the openness of American students to assigned peer mentors and how that helps integrate them into universities and enhance cultural experiences like hers.

The Fulbright Commission also stressed the importance of “cultural exchanges” to “develop mutual understanding” beyond education and research.

At Masaryk University in Brno, Ragone is researching the applications of artificial neural networks for problems in chemistry under Associate Professor Premysl Lubal as part of a five-week internship.

“I miss the diversity of American universities,” Ragone told the crowd, but he also said he appreciated the deep cultural and historical knowledge that his Czech lab mates have introduced him to while in the country.

Ragone stressed the importance of easily navigable and mobile compatible websites for Czech universities attempting to attract American students. Samantha Kaplin, a student of Bucknell University, echoed Ragone.

“U.S. universities believe they do not have enough information about Czech universities,” she said.

Still, organizations like the Fulbright Commission offer help and advice, and the willingness of Czech institutions to develop unique, collaborative programs both during both summer and the semester help forge this relationship.

Bender said she was impressed with the eagerness and willingness of the faculty of Czech universities to develop the types of long lasting collaborations that help train students to tackle the global challenges of our day.

“My experience was more than worth the price of admission,” Ragone said.

Illegal conduct at Illegal Pete’s A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Illegal Pete’s in reference to a man who would not leave the property around 10 p.m. on June 9.

According to the bartender, the man entered Illegal Pete’s already intoxicated and was not served any alcohol.

He began to sleep at a table, ignoring multiple requests to leave.

An officer approached the man, advised he needed to leave and that he was trespassing.

The man stood up to leave and then sat down at a different table, ignoring police.

The man began to exhibit mood swings when the officer persisted that the man needed to leave, yelling, “Who the fuck are you?” to police.

The officer said he was the police and that he was ordering the man to leave immediately.

Despite police orders, the man continued to ignore the requests to leave.

Police began to forcibly remove the man from Illegal Pete’s, grabbing the man’s wrist to escort him out.

Trying to resist, the man fell to the ground, was ordered to stop resisting and was handcuffed without further incident.

The man was arrested and booked into Pima County Jail for criminal trespassing.

These are not the reports you are looking for A UAPD officer was dispatched to the Marshall Building in reference to a suspicious man around 3 p.m. on June 13.

The subject was described as white, in his 40s, tall and with a tattoo on his upper arm.

He approached a UA student, reached out to shake her hand, telling her he had reports that would be good for a journalism student and that he wanted her to come look at the reports in his car.

He pointed to a white car parked in the school’s lot and the student told the man “no,” she did not want to look at the reports.

The man responded, “It will only take three minutes,” and the student again said “no,” and ran back into the Marshall Building.

UAPD is looking into doing a composite sketch on the subject.

student over religion.

Mamta Accapadi, vice president for student affairs at Rollins said it was an inaccurate portrayal of an alleged “radical” Muslim professor oppressing a Christian student in a classroom setting that brought hateful speech towards the administration.

The student claimed he challenged his professor’s tolerance of another student’s views and was reported by the teacher for making threats to the teacher, via email, and being disruptive in the classroom.

The student was suspended and later reinstated. While the college administration found he did cause disruptions, he didn’t actually violate the school’s Code of Community Standards.

Accapadi said the outside attacks were not about the incident, but rather people’s feelings in the world.

“I noticed that people asserted their rights,” she said. “We assert our rights when we do not feel that our journey has been acknowledged with legitimacy. That’s across any spectrum of belief.”

Accapadi said relying on legal interpretations to shape guidelines limits the conversation, and we should use our rules to advance equitable learning experiences that reflect who we aspire to be.

“When did we determine that what we have the right to do was our operating standard of humanity?” Accapadi said. “When did we confuse our legal and legalistic processes to

be just or justice-based processes? They’re not the same.”

She said it’s not just navigating rules, but also being a steward of students’ hopes and dreams on campus.

Interact, don’t react Demetri Morgan, assistant professor of higher education at Loyola University Chicago and Lance Watson, director of student conduct and community standards at the University of Kansas spoke about “Bias Incident Response Teams” or BIRTs and how they operate.

The UA currently has a Behavioral Intervention Team, which assesses and coordinates the responses to student behavior that may require intervention.

Morgan said with the rise of social media there has been more awareness drawn to bias incidents and the need for action.

He said BIRTs were created to respond to incidents that don’t fall within a campus safety category or the conduct process.

“What they’re about is balancing the support of victims that are experiencing these bias incidents with this idea of fostering equitable and inclusive diverse learning environments,” Morgan said.

Watson said BIRTs are not part of the code of conduct process, and there should be a clear separation. He said that the teams should not function as a disciplinary unit on campus.

He also said that the response team’s place on campus is to help foster both free expression and inclusion.

“When we think about the goal of higher education, it is to challenge the status quo,” he

She said the collegiate experience should allow students to learn that a marketplace of ideas is important and is maintained by all people being open to them.

y friend Raymond always asks me, “so, when are you going to upgrade?” when he sees my old sliding Samsung phone.

I don’t think he understands that I don’t want to upgrade.

While I’m a millennial and love using the internet and social media, I also love living with my basic phone.

Do you ever miss old cell phones and the simplicity of life that came with them? Or maybe just that wonderful keypad?

Even in 2017, living with a basic phone has its benefits.

My phone has all the functions I need. I can call, text, save contacts, check the time, set an alarm clock and, if I really want, to set reminders.

For me, the more advanced functions that smartphones offer are superfluous. If most people really thought about it, perhaps they would agree.

My dad often tries to convince me to upgrade, citing the convenience of having the Internet in my pocket.

I’ve never needed access to information that badly. It can wait until I’m at home at my computer or when I find Wi-Fi for my laptop.

It’s weird to think that college students today are among the last group of Americans who were born before the arrival of the smartphone. Most of us

In the excitement of this new technology, perhaps many never stopped to think what they might be giving up when they swapped their old flip phones and sliding phones for iPhones and Galaxies. But living without a smartphone doesn’t limit me; it frees me to enjoy more of life.

Hackers and healthcare: Scarier than shots A duo of UA med school graduates recently led a discussion on medical device hacking— remotely accessing pacemakers and other devices. The prognosis is alarming

BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @willwrock529

Dr. Christian Dameff and Dr. Jeff Tully, graduates of the UA College of Medicine in Phoenix, recently hosted a summit on the threat of computer hacking aimed at hospitals and medical devices. With modern medicine relying so much on technology like insulin pumps, pacemakers and electronic medical records, an instance of malicious hacking could be lethal.

While hackers are often perceived as lone malcontents in hoodies furiously typing away on computers in darkened rooms, Dameff cautioned against applying the stereotype universally.

“In actuality, hackers are individuals who understand the system to such a degree that they can identify weaknesses,” Dameff said, explaining that he identifies as a hacker. “When I was young, one of my friends got a computer, and he started showing me this whole new world, and when I look back now it’s the foundation of why I call myself a hacker.”

The hackers we have to worry about are called “black hats.” They’re individuals with malicious intent who hack things for their own personal gain.

“White hats,” in contrast, hack to expose security vulnerabilities so that computers and networks can be toughened, before being released susceptible to exploitation for nefarious purposes.

Dameff became interested in this kind of ethical hacking.From an early age, Dameff immersed himself in hacker culture and knowledge.

“I lived two lives, where my formal education was in medicine — and because of this, I was able to take my knowledge of hacking and apply it towards medicine,” Dameff said.

A specific incident spurred Dameff’s thinking about hacking and medicine. “I was listening to some 911 calls on cardiac arrest for some of my studies, and I thought to myself, what would happen if 911 went down?”

Dameff and Tully decided to start researching the viability of hacking 911, only to realize it isn’t as difficult as it should be. After presenting their work at DEF CON, a yearly hacking convention held in Las Vegas, Dameff decided to merge his two worlds of hacking and medicine.

Dameff described the difficulty of dealing with instances of medical hacking.

“If measles breaks out in Tucson, the Centers for Disease Control will be there in less than 10 hours,” he said, “but we don’t have any system to determine whether or not medical devices have been hacked.”

We know that hacking of pacemakers and insulin pumps is possible because New Zealand hacker and computer security expert Barnaby Jack demonstrated it.

So, while no hacking of these devices has been reported outside of his tests, we know it can be done. And there have already been other types of medical hacking incidents reported across the globe.

In May, the United Kingdom suffered a ransomware attack that crippled their health care and hospital systems.

A simple virus attached to an email locked critical files and information on computers and demanded $300 in

bitcoin from each user. This simple Trojan horse shut down dozens of hospitals across the country.

The malware used to get into the hospital systems was actually an exploit discovered by the NSA that got leaked and weaponized. Microsoft had fixed the problem in a patch, but many organizations are either slow to apply updates or run their computers on older versions of the Windows operating system.

“This is the case that has received the most attention, but this is not the beginning,” Dameff said.

California’s Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital was hit with a ransomware attack last year in February, eventually paying $17,000 in bitcoin to the attackers. The hospital was shut down for days as a result, and several patients were deprived of health care.

“Health care is fragile, patient care is fragile, because

we rely so much on technical infrastructure” Dameff observed.

Dameff and Tully believe that hospitals need more updated equipment running later and more secure operating systems — as well as experts dedicated to keeping all the technology in check.

“I work at a hospital, and say I need a CT scanner. If I don’t have the money, I’ll buy a scanner that’s 6 or 7 years old,” Dameff said.

These older pieces of technology may run on older operating systems, making them vulnerable to attack.

“I don’t want people to not get pacemakers, not get insulin pumps, and not go to the hospital because they’re afraid they’ll get hacked,” Dameff said. “But we need to raise awareness without being alarmist, and get the attention of policymakers.”

Chinese ruins and space radio Human sacrifice, real tans without the Sun and a signal from the depths of space. Last week brought head-turning headlines to science

featuring ®

Laborers Used in Sacrifice New research has come from a multi-university team led by Canada’s Simon Fraser University focusing on an ancient burial site in the Yinxu region of China. The site has been found to contain the apparent remains of human sacrifice victims.

Although sites like this are not uncommon, the Yinxu site is different because new research has shown that victims were first kept as slaves before being sacrificed. Of particular note were some of the bodies found buried in the Shang Dynasty Royal Cemetery, which have shown evidence that they were not typical of most sacrifice victims.

Researchers conducted isotopic analysis on the bones of a small group of victims in order to determine what made them different from the rest. From the analysis researchers concluded that the victims were brought in from outside of the region and remained alive long enough for the local climate and food to make an impact on their bones. The change is something that would have taken years, not days or weeks.

Whether they were prisoners of war or selected particularly for human sacrifice, the researchers believe that it is a sound basis to conclude that the victims were kept as laborers — why else would their captors bother to feed them for so long?

Sunless tanning A new drug has been created by a multi-institutional team that can supposedly give the user a natural tan without the harmful effects of UV radiation.

Instead of relying on artificial chemicals, this pill will use the body’s own natural chemical reactions to work. It focuses on the protective processes which cause skin to naturally darken under the sun.

In a lab, researchers used the drug on human skin samples and found that it did indeed cause skin to darken by encouraging the overproduction of the pigment melanin. The researchers are hoping that ultimately the drug can be used to help protect against skin damage and malignant cancers.

The drug focuses on protein in the melanin production chain using what are called SIK inhibitors. Once the protein is affected, the skin will begin to gradually darken. When treatment is stopped, the darkness will eventually fade, just as a normal tan might. Although the drug seems to work, the researchers urge cautionary measures be taken due to the risk of cancers that might develop while the protein is being suppressed.

Although the findings were published in June, the research will continue in order to study the potentially harmful effects of the pill, and see whether or not it will be safe for mass production and distribution.

The Wow! signal explained — or not A paper was published early last week by astronomy professor Antonio Paris of St. Petersburg College, FL, who stated that he may have found an explanation for the Wow! Signal.

The Wow! Signal was an unexplained radio signal that originated from space almost 40 years ago in 1977. Scientists at the time were baffled and since then there have been no viable explanations for the origin of the signal, or how it was

transmitted to earth’s radios.

The blip of data was short, a mere 72 seconds, and the signal gets its name from the researcher who wrote “Wow!” next to the incoming data.

Now, forty years later, Paris believes he may have an explanation for the mysterious transmission. Paris claims that the signal matches up with the trajectory of a comet that was unknown at the time as it was passing by Earth. According to Paris, certain comets are capable of emitting radio waves under the right conditions and that the Wow! Signal may have been just that.

Although more research must be done, most other scientists are skeptical of this theory, doubting his scientific rigor and believing that a comet would not be able to produce waves powerful enough to reach earth.

Tipsy Picassos changes the game for art classes UA alumnus sees great success from a start-up business centered around bringing people together through painting and drinks

BY LAUREN GRIFOL @laurengrifol

In Tucson’s art community, Tipsy Picassos is known as an innovative business that brings people together for a common activity: Painting.

The art-class business strives to bring out the Picasso in every participant, welcoming people of all skill levels to grab a brush and create interpretations of the artwork displayed in class.

Tipsy Picassos hosts private parties, group parties and other events. An instructor, all art supplies and a fun, relaxed environment for creativity to expand is provided. All participants have to do is bring their favorite wine and a positive attitude.

Owner Jennifer Johnson, a California native and UA alumna, combined her undergraduate degree in painting and her master’s degree in art education with her business intuition to start Tipsy Picassos. According to Johnson, the business took off two years ago and has been going strong ever since.

“I wanted to make sure it felt more like a social gathering so I decided to have about 20 to 40 people who are excited to paint meet at a bar instead of a studio,” Johnson said. “After playing around with many different names, my sister actually came up with Tipsy Picassos.”

Johnson and her staff make it a point to diminish the intimidation that can be present for beginners by making the atmosphere extremely relaxed.

The canvases used by the participants are often pre-sketched so that they can focus on adding their own artistic flare rather than worrying about the details of the basic shape.

Events are hosted all around Tucson in different restaurants and usually offer a perk just for participating. For example, at the “Desert Sunrise Happy Hour” event at OBON Sushi Bar Restaurant last April, painters had the opportunity to enjoy drinks

and specials such as sushi rolls and cocktails for only $5.

Johnson said that her favorite events are the Harry Potterinspired ones.

“I am a big Harry Potter nerd, and apparently so are a lot of people around Tucson,” Johnson said. “Some of our most popular events are ‘Paint Your Patrones’ and ‘Starry Night over Hogwarts.’”

Tipsy Picassos taps into the student market at the UA by capturing the attention of those involved in Greek life. The business holds events showcasing the fun and stimulating bonding experiences of painting to numerous sororities on campus.

Ariana Alexander, a recent graduate from the UA, participated

in an event hosted by Tipsy Picassos this past February. During Kappa Alpha Theta’s Moms’ Weekend, sorority members and their mothers enjoyed an exciting afternoon of painting and drinking.

“During our hour-long party, we got to enjoy a class where we were painting a jar holding a bouquet of flowers,” Alexander said. “Although it was obvious that some of us were not as good as the others, the instructors always reminded you that there are different interpretations of art and to focus on your interpretation.”

However, for those who really insist on perfecting their work, the instructors will offer helpful advice on improving at the skill of painting.

For Alexander, Tipsy Picassos was a memorable experience.

She said that for those 21 and older, drinking wine during the experience made the realization of their amatuare painting skills a little bit more bearable.

The instructor explained her train of thought while she painted for the participants during the class. Alexander said this was one of the best parts of the experience, making it personal by hearing what was going on in the instructor’s mind while she painted.

When asked if she would recommend this unique opportunity to a friend, Alexander affirmed enthusiastically, and that everyone should get to experience how fun this is.

Tipsy Picassos turns most of their painting parties into fundraising opportunities as well. Ten dollars per participant is donated to an animal rescue organization and to the Alzheimer’s Association. The business has raised $10,000 for these organizations so far, and Johnson only sees that number growing exponentially as the business expands.

With the support or a fun, creative atmosphere and a little bit of liquid courage, anyone can create a memorable piece of art. Grab some friends or family members and book a private class, or head to one of the upcoming events featured on the Tipsy Picassos Facebook page.

Amy’s Donuts makes a sweet arrival in Tucson A donut shop from Colorado Springs is making waves with its new location in Tucson that serves up unique and delicious pastries

IAN GREEN/THE DAILY WILDCAT

AMY’S DONUTS, LOCATED JUST east of Stone Avenue on Ft. Lowell Road, is a novel bakery featuring a myriad of specialty donuts. Amy's has seen enormous success since their grand opening; Tucsonans can't seem to get enough of the unique gourmet creations.

BY SAVANAH MODESITT @DailyWildcat

Amy’s Donuts is home to a smorgasbord of creative and delectable doughnuts. Inside the shop, customers can find around 120 different flavors to choose from, including Amy’s Almond Joy, Nutella Crumb and even Maple Bacon.

The owners of Amy’s Donuts, Amy and Chin Kim, opened their first shop in Colorado Springs four years ago. Since then, they have opened two other shops: one in Columbus, Ohio and a third here in Tucson. Chin named the doughnut shop after his wife, Amy, and the two have been creating doughnuts ever since.

Amy’s Donuts in Tucson officially opened on Saturday, June 24, with a line of waiting customers spilling out the door. The shop has already received heaps of recognition for their delicious doughnut flavors.

“We have pretty much figured out how to put any dessert in a doughnut, and we always encourage our employees and even our customers to come up with new doughnut creations,” Chin said. “Since opening in Tucson, we’ve heard that we should now try to create

a prickly pear or cactus-themed doughnut.”

Kim explained how his shop is able to keep fresh, delicious doughnuts available for purchase despite the high demand.

“Everyone who works here has been working extremely hard and well,” Chin said. “With about 40 employees and a minimum of four decorators at the store at a time, we are able to keep running the 24 hours, seven days a week schedule we’ve always had.”

While Amy’s does offer traditionalstyle doughnuts, the shop specializes in unique creations, with some featuring cereal, marshmallows, or different types of sour candies.

“Our Maple Bacon doughnut, apple fritter and the Over the Rainbow doughnuts seem to disappear the most,” Chin said. “The Maple Bacon doughnut is covered in maple flavored frosting and then topped with bits of crispy bacon. The Over the Rainbow doughnut is layered with blueberry frosting, two dollops of white cream to make clouds, and then a rainbow airhead sour belt candy in the middle of the doughnut to top it off.”

Along with these specialty doughnuts, Amy’s also sells cake doughnuts and lil'

En la frontera: A student’s life between two countries

BY DAVID PUJOL @deathlydavid

Living in a city that straddles two countries is an interesting experience. My hometown of Nogales, Arizona allows me to enrich my life with the cultures of two different nations along with the Sonoran city that shares its name.

The population of Nogales, Arizona is around 20,000 people. Nogales, Sonora has a population of around 200,000.

The streets in Sonora were full of life every time I visited, which prepared me for a life in the city of Tucson, which is more than double this size where I now attend college at the UA. Being born in a border town allowed me to learn the complex history of these two countries from my mother, who is a first generation citizen, and my Nana, who immigrated to Arizona from Mexico. Like most immigrants, my Nana sought a better future for herself and her family, so she left her home country at the age when I was deciding on which college I wanted to attend.

Now that I live in Tucson, I travel frequently to Nogales to visit my family. I spend my breaks from school reconnecting with my roots and recharging my batteries in the town where I was raised.

Traveling to Nogales seemed a lot less complicated when I first moved to Tucson. During my first year here, I would travel back to Nogales every other weekend. But the further I progressed in my academic career, the less frequently I visited. This past semester I only visited Nogales once for a few days during spring break.

The expense of traveling back and forth wasn’t cheap, and this was added to the workload that school demands of a student.

These factors didn’t allow me to balance well between my life in Tucson and my life in Nogales.

Some of my best memories are in either Nogales, Arizona or Nogales, Sonora. No matter how hard I try to make my apartment in Tucson feel more like home, it won’t be. For me, home is where my family is.

It’s the smell of the monsoon, it’s the summers filled with raspados. Home is Nogales and for me it always will be.

COURTESY DAVID PUJOL

MARIA PUJOL, CENTER, POSES for a photo with her daughter Karla Pujol, left, and grandson David Pujol, right, on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2015 in Nogales, Ariz. Maria Pujol celebrated her 80th birthday.

As a child, crossing the border into Sonora meant going to a nice restaurant, visiting various shops, riding the burro, getting my picture taken and, if I behaved, getting to take a toy home with me.

Being in Sonora made me aware of where I lived. The vibrant and beautiful Mexican culture that filled my home came from there.

As an adult, crossing the border doesn’t feel the same. I go to Mexico for vacations and to spend time with family and friends.

When I was younger, I never felt like there was any tension or judgement when I would cross the border into Sonora or cross back into Arizona.

However, in recent times, the toxic nature and unpleasant manner with which travelers are treated is extreme.

Immigrants are so much more than the stigmas that surround them; they are people just like you and I. They have their own stories,

hopes, dreams and souls. But unfortunately, the culture of this day and age has leaned towards intolerance instead of empathy.

Looking back, I have an immense respect for my grandmother. She left her home country as a teenager and created new roots here in the U.S. because she wanted a brighter future. She came to this country legally and she contributed to society for more than 60 years, all the while never being a citizen of the U.S. Everyone wants the best possible future for their children, and my grandmother and mother were no exception to that. I believe that the U.S. should be more accessible. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity for a better life, yet not everyone gets that chance.

I refuse to accept the hostility presented by those in power towards immigrants. Many parents work extremely hard to try and give their children a

better chance at a prosperous life, regardless of which side of the border they reside. My Nana was one of those people, she wanted a better life for her children, and luckily she was able to accomplish that.

Nogales will always be such a big part of who I am. I may not

visit as often as I used to, but that town is who I am. No place will ever feel more like home than Nogales. It is my roots, my history, my identity and my family; I’m so thankful to have been born there. No matter where I live, Nogales will always be with me.

ARIZONA’S LAURI MARKKANEN (10) JUMPS to make a basket over Saint Mary’s defense during the Arizona-Saint Mary’s game on March 18. Markkanen was drafted to the Chicago Bulls during the first round of the NBA draft.

Lauri Markkanen heads to the Windy City

Barring another trade, Lauri Markkanen will start his professional basketball career in the Windy City.

Thursday night, the former Arizona Wildcat forward was selected seventh overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who will trade his rights to the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls acquired the seventh pick as well as Kris Dunn and Zach LaVine from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Jimmy Butler and the 16th overall pick.

It had been a widely held assumption for the past few months that Markkanen would be a lottery pick and that assumption came to fruition after his name was read seventh by NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

This marks the fourth time under head coach Sean Miller that Arizona has had a player been a lottery selection, with Stanley Johnson the most recent selection at no. 8 overall in 2015.

In Markkanen’s first and only season as a Wildcat, the 7-footer led the team in 3-point percentage (42.3%), free-throw percentage (83.5%) and rebounds (7.2 per game). The Finland native also finished second on the team in scoring with 15.6 points per game.

Those efforts earned Markkanen a spot on first-team All Pac-12 and the Associated Press’ third team AllAmerican.

Markkanen called playing in the NBA a dream of his when he declared for the draft back in March.

Now, that dream is now just a few short months away from being fulfilled.

FORMER ARIZONA GUARD KADEEM ALLEN (5) drives past Xavier guard J.P. Macura (55) during the second half of the Arizona-Xavier Sweet 16 matchup Thursday, March 23.

Allen took the road less traveled to the NBA

BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA

Arizona guard Kadeem Allen will have a shot at the big time after being selected by the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA Draft. For much of his collegiate basketball career, this year’s 53rd overall pick didn’t fit the mold of those selected in the draft.

Allen wasn’t a highly sought-after recruit in high school, he didn’t begin his college career at a Division I program, and he wasn’t a oneand-done player when he played for Arizona.

Instead, Allen, a fifth-year senior this past season, paved his own way to the draft with an unmatched combination of effort and leadership which may put him in a position to make an NBA roster.

The 6’3” guard from Wilmington, North Carolina began his five-year journey in 2012 playing for Hutchinson Community College.

In his second season, Allen averaged 25.9 points per game and was named the 2014 Junior College Player of the Year, catching the eye of Arizona head coach Sean Miller.

When Allen transferred to Arizona in 2014, the thinking was that Miller would insert him into the rotation off the bench, giving the guard his first taste of Division I basketball. However, Allen didn’t see any playing time his first year in Tucson and reluctantly redshirted. A year later, though, as a junior, Allen played and averaged 8.4 points per game.

While Allen was known for being a scorer in junior college, his staple as a Wildcat

turned out to be his leadership and physical shutdown defense. In his final year at Arizona, Allen became the true glue-guy of Miller’s squad, earning consistently high praise. Coach Miller heralded Allen as “one of the great leaders that I’ve coached,” and “one of the best defensive guards” in the NCAA. Perhaps the most telling example of Allen’s defense prowess was his performance against Washington’s Markelle Fultz during a game in Tucson this year. The Arizona guard held the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft to just 16 points on 23 shots, one of Fultz’ worst outings of the year.

That game surely stuck in the minds of NBA scouts, and many teams were impressed

by Allen’s energy and physical play during workouts. In his pre-draft evaluations, DraftExpress.com labeled Allen as a player who “has all the makings of a stopper at the NBA level.”

Now, he will get a chance to prove so in Boston, but it won’t be easy.

This summer, and leading into the fall, the 24-year-old will once again have to navigate the more-than-challenging waters to stick with the Celtics.

A roster spot is not guaranteed, and even if Allen gets one, extended playing time will be scarce at first. It’s also possible that the guard will head to the NBA G-League to polish his game, meaning he’ll have to work his up way from the bottom.

Only time will tell where Kadeem Allen lands and how he will fit in. He already knows all of this, of course; he’s been through it before.

Rich Rod looks for a few good football recruits

BY NATHAN SKINNER @DailyWildcat

In the realm of college football recruiting, a lot can change between the end of the regular season and National Signing Day. Head coach Richard Rodriguez and the Arizona football team witnessed those changes firsthand as a highly touted recruiting class disintegrated almost overnight.

The collapse of what was hyped as a program changing collection of recruits is yet another bit of bad news for the Wildcats. There are few future stars in the class of 2021 and stars are exactly what the program needed.

When one looks at a list of the newest Wildcats, Jalen Harris’ name stands out. The physically dominant defensive end rates as the Cat’s best recruit.

Harris, from Mesa, Arizona, should find his way to the field immediately, considering how underwhelming the defense was last season.

Joining Harris in the defensive trenches is Kurtis Brown. Brown, who was rated as the 46th best defensive tackle by ESPN, is a space eater that may need to spend some time in the weight room before he can unlock his full potential.

My-King Johnson and Kylan Wilborn aren’t highly rated by the recruiting services, but have the size and athleticism needed to be factors down the road.

Tony Fields also may have not received a ton of love from the recruiting services, but he may be a solid player at the collegiate level.

Fields was a tackling machine in high school, racking up 93 tackles as a junior in 2015. The spring enrollee will see the field early, due to the lack of depth in the position, and is most likely going to be a major contributor from day one.

Fields won’t be the only youngster manning the second level for the Cats.

Joshua Brown and Jose Ramirez will also have an opportunity to contribute, but they may be a year or two away.

There aren’t any Chris McCallister-level recruits in the secondary; most of the signees are athletes that need time to learn the intricacies of the position.

Rhedi Short and Malik Hausman are both large, athletic corners,

something desperately needed in Tucson.

Hausman, a product of regional power Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, is magic with the ball in his hands.

Short is a versatile player whose best position may be safety or rover, and is the kind of player that defensive coordinators love.

Versatility is the name of the game in modern football. Short will be joining a talented safety class.

Scott and Troy Young were both rated in the top sixty at their position, both bring versatility and ability to the secondary.

Troy was a ballhawk during his time at Mobile Christian High School in Alabama.

Scott was a dynamite hitter at California power Helix, look for him to be a force on special teams.

Quarterback is the most important position on the field, and

Arizona signed two talented signal callers. Rhett Rodriguez is more than Rich Rod’s son — he is a dual threat that should have a unique understanding of the offense.

K’Hari Lane is a polished passer that can make pro level throws and isn’t a statue in the pocket; he has the athleticism to avoid the rush, but he isn’t going to win games with his legs.

Tailback Nathan Tilford is the highest rated offensive recruit in the 2017 class, and it’s easy to understand why. Tilford is a complete back — he can be a factor in the passing game as well as tote the rock, and will be on the field immediately, provided that he masters the playbook.

Another player that may see immediate playing time is tight end Bryce Gilbert. Gilbert is a hybrid tight end that can be flexed

out, and play in a traditional inline position. He was highly coveted with Nebraska, Louisville and Utah, all offering to the star from Higley High.

Brian Casteel is the highest rated receiver in what is a middling group.

Casteel, whose only other Power Five offer came from Washington State, is at his most dangerous in the open field, and on shorter routes. He is a good fit for the current system, that relies on short and intermediate routes to stretch opposing defenses.

Drew Dixon was a quarterback at Sabino High School in Tucson, Arizona, and will most likely be a receiver at Arizona. Dixon has the size to be a redzone threat, but isn’t a burner.

Edgar Burrola is the lone offensive lineman in the incoming

class. Burrola, like most young linemen, is a work in progress and prime candidate for a redshirt.

Kicker Lucas Havrisik will immediately compete for playing time, due to underwhelming kicking specialists.

Havrisik converted on 11/16 field goal attempts last season, with a long of 51 yards. The Norco High School star also punted, and averaged just under forty yards per boot. His kickoffs were almost guaranteed touchbacks for Norco with 94.3% going unreturned.

This isn’t nearly the class expected last fall, but there are some bright spots and some players that will be factors on the two deep this year.

The question is whether there are enough difference makers to change the fortunes of a struggling program.
