Alpha Sig under investigation for multiple counts of Code of Conduct violations

BY JESSICA SURIANO @surianojessica

The Gamma Iota chapter of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity on campus is under judicial investigation by the Interfraternity Council and could lose official recognition pending the outcome.

According to the UA IFC website on standards and accountability, the investigation is focused on allegations of endangering, hazing, alcohol and violation of other published rules in the Student Code of Conduct.

Sergeant Cindy Spasoff and crime prevention officer Rene Hernandez of the University of Arizona Police Department said they could not comment on the details of the investigation or of the alleged misconduct because it is an active case.

Police record is also currently unavailable pending the lead detective’s approval.

The fraternity is currently on interim loss of recognition, which means they temporarily can’t be identified as an official chapter under the UA IFC or take advantage of the benefits that membership standing entails until the accountability process is completed, according to fraternity and sorority programs director Trace Camacho.

“We are currently working with the university, chapter and alumni advisors to address the allegation and believe once resolved, the chapter will be a stronger partner and member of the University of Arizona community,” said Gordy Heminger, president and CEO of Alpha Sigma Phi national headquarters, in an email. “We’ve appreciated the professionalism and collaborative nature of the student affairs team and their commitment to partnering with Alpha Sigma Phi.” President of the Gamma Iota chapter Tim O’Sullivan did not respond to requests

for comment.

The Gamma Iota chapter was already under sanctions from earlier this year for issues in failing to register events involving alcohol with the fraternity and sorority programs office and for “off-campus conduct that a reasonable person would believe may present a risk or danger to the health, safety or security of the Board or university community or to the safety or security of the Board or university property,” according to the IFC website.

The website also states that the fraternity was required to give the executive board a presentation on responsible leadership, assign the executive board to give the chapter presentations on community respect and alcohol safety and obtain signatures from 75 percent of its members recognizing that they were given the presentations by Nov. 25, 2016.

Gov. Doug Ducey’s budget includes a sales tax exemption for state universities in an attempt to provide more funding and the cities aren’t happy about it

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s Executive Budget proposes the redirection of state sales tax paid by Arizona’s public universities towards securing $1 billion dollars in bonds for the universities.

“This plan frees up money for universities so they can reinvest in student programs and grow infrastructure,” said Patrick Ptak, spokesman for governor’s office.

Ptak described the proposal as a fiscally responsible way to grow the universities.

Despite these claims, not everyone is on board with the proposal.

The League of Arizona Cities and Towns sent a resolution to all of Arizona’s legislators opposing the bill, according to Ken Strobeck, executive director of the League.

Arizona uses a tax system where portions of state sales tax revenue are given to cities, towns and counties in proportion with population size.

Strobeck estimates that over the life of the bond, Arizona cities and towns would lose roughly $140 million in revenue, and counties would lose roughly $230 million.

“A significant amount of money,” Strobeck said. “Cities, towns and counties definitely need that money, we have been hit extremely hard by the economy and increasing pension expenses.”

The Arizona Board of Regents

supports Ducey’s proposal as does the UA, according to Vice President for Communications Chris Sigurdson.

“The plan returns sales tax money to the universities and dedicates it to addressing deferred maintenance and funding the development of research infrastructure,” Sigurdson said.

This is money the UA is already spending, and with this additional funding the university will remain below its mandated debt per revenue rate, Sigurdson said.

The UA has $131 million in deferred maintenance costs, which are estimated to reach $1 billion by 2025.

According to Sigurdson, the proposal allows universities to designate funds and borrow favorably, addressing this deferred maintenance and increasing their investments in research.

The regents estimate the five-year economic impact of the proposal to be 2,300 jobs and $1 billion for Arizona’s GDP. The Arizona Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with multiple city chambers signed a letter to the legislature arguing in favor of the proposal.

“This is the kind of far-sighted investment that will promote learning and discovery, spur additional business development, and ensure these world-class institutions remain competitive and able to educate and train Arizona’s future workforce,” the letter reads.

The letter cited that in 2015, state universities provided 102,000 jobs and $11.1 billion in total economic impact.

The regents have cited a statistic that states for every “square-foot of research space, universities bring nearly $350 in research money for [Arizona].”

Ptak said the proposal helps universities bolster their reputation and increase research

further diminish cities’ and towns’ share of tax.

Strobeck suggested that if the universities wanted to secure funding for bonds, they should have the state legislature appropriate the money like they do other state agencies.

“The league is not advocating for nor against funding universities we are advocating for the city money to be untouched,” Strobeck said.

Ombuds office offers dispute dissipation

BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

UA students or employees who have concerns with emails, getting a project together or even an issue with a fellow Wildcat have a place to turn to on campus. Best of all, the advice looks at all viewpoints and comes with a guarantee of secrecy.

The Ombuds program is a campus resource for effective communication, collaboration and conflict resolution, for students, employees and community members who have university-related concerns.

Ombuds program director Caitlan Hendrickson said the program serves a wide spectrum of people and situations, but the one constant is the confidentiality.

“I don’t share anything that folks share with me with anyone else, I don’t even share the identities of those who have met with me, unless I have their request or permission to do so,” Hendrickson said. “The one exception is situations involving imminent risk of serious harm.”

Hendrickson said to maintain confidentiality to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Ombuds program is not an office of notice to UA in terms of legal or formal complaints, and is not an office of record, so she shreds notes after a case is closed.

“We don’t engage in any formal processes, but we do help connect folks to them if they are interested in that,” Hendrickson said.

The program, comprised of Hendrickson and a few trained volunteers, works with people oneon-one or in groups, one time only or for an extended period of sessions, for coaching, consulting, skill building or mediating. Hendrickson said a key tenet is impartiality.

“We can help folks really look at the

situation from various perspectives, analyze it, help them come up with different options to work with the situation in a constructive way,” Hendrickson said. “When we’re in the middle of something that feels stressful or tense, it can be difficult to step outside of ourselves and see it from different angles.”

Carolyn Lukensmeyer, executive director of the National Institute for Civil Discourse, said impartiality is what makes the Ombuds program effective.

“The support of someone who is neutral can ensure that the conversation feels safe and able to be influenced by all parties,” Lukensmeyer said. “In a conflict situation that is essential.”

College campuses present a huge potential for conflict, Lukensmeyer said, making them the perfect location for a program like Ombuds, which is common on campuses.

“College campuses, like any large organizations, are very complex and people bump up against each other in many different settings that could definitely call for the role of an ombudsman,” Lukensmeyer said.

Since Hendrickson became director of the program last year, she has focused on raising awareness for the program. In 2015-16, her first year, the program served just over 630 individuals, not counting multiple sessions. That was an increase of 156 percent from the previous year.

“I’ve been noticing there’s a variety of different ideas on campus about what the Ombuds program is, and who we serve,” Hendrickson said.

“It’s an ongoing process of getting the word out.”

Hendrickson also noticed trends from the data about the general topics of concerns. She said in 201516, the number one concern was evaluative relationships, like those between professors and students

or supervisors and employees. The second top concern was peer and colleague relationships.

Within those categories, the top concerns were communication and respect.

“That can be the amount of communication, the type of communication, the style of communication, just any kind of concerns that could come up around communication,” Hendrickson said.

Daily WildCat We’re Super Classy

According to Hendrickson, once the data is broken down to just students, the top two concerns change to evaluative relationships and services and administrative issues, like quality of services and administrative decisions.

“We track the trends in terms of types of issues and situations people are encountering so we can bring those trends to the attention of the administration without

disclosing people’s identities,” Hendrickson said.

Andrew Comrie, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, said besides that function, the program also communicates a vital message.

“I believe it sends an important signal that we have a neutral office that is outside the regular channels that can provide people with assistance in unresolved disputes,” Comrie said.

Mary Beth Tucker, assistant vice president of the office of institutional equity, said it’s the flexibility in services the Ombuds program provides that makes a difference.

“From my perspective, I like the opportunity to offer individuals on campus as many resources and options as possible to address their needs,” Tucker said. “For some people, they want a more official approach, some want a confidential approach.”

According to Tucker, the education and services related to conflict resolution are also key.

“It offers confidential support and services, which is really important to people who are still trying to assess a problem and figure out what they want to do,” Tucker said. “Caitlan can help people respond to others and help them practice and think about how they might communicate with someone they’re having troubling with.”

Hendrickson, who said she took this position because she’s always been a peacemaker, wants to continue working toward a campus with stronger and more positive conflict resolution.

“Conflict is a natural occurrence in human interaction and existence, so being able to harness the constructive and positive aspects effectively rather than having it become destructive is important,” Hendrickson said.

Students explore world with new study abroad

BY PHIL BRAMWELL @pihlbramwellMMA

UA will add more short-term study abroad programs for students starting in 2018 in response to positive feedback from students and instructors alike.

Short-term study abroad programs, which take place over UA’s summer and winter breaks, give students an opportunity to expand their learning experience.

“The world is their classroom,” said Harmony DeFazio, director of study abroad and student exchange.

The Rainforest Biodiversity in Ecuador is one program available during winter break where students visit the heart of the Amazon to discover the variety of plants and animals that live there.

Short-term study abroad programs will also take place in Italy and England and travel to Egypt is currently being discussed. More information on those programs will be available during the fall 2017 semester.

The purpose of the upcoming programs is to open up more opportunities for students involved in other major programs.

“We are seeking to create new, different programs to ensure that for every student interested in going abroad, they can find a program that speaks to their educational and personal interests,” DeFazio said.

Study abroad inspires a level of awareness through hands-on educational activities that may not be addressed

on vacation trips to other countries, according to Katie Van Wyk, who coordinates the study abroad programs in Europe and South America.

“Study abroad is a way of immersing oneself in another country and learning how people from there live life,” Van Wyk said. “A vacation is often experienced only from an outsider’s perspective.”

Prior to departure, students participate in a workshop to better understand the culture of the country they are entering.

For students in the Ecuador program, learning in the rain forest gives students an opportunity to identify environmental challenges.

“Students see and learn about this incredible species richness and also human pressures and if and how impacts can be addressed,” said Hans Herrmann, a UA research scientist who studies plant science and leads the Ecuador expedition.

Students who decide to enroll in a short-term study abroad program complete assignments before and after returning from overseas.

“Students spend time conducting their own research,” Van Wyk said. “Due to limited time, days are long and filled with educational activities from early morning until late in the evening.”

Herrmann said learning in another country is an intense experience for both instructors and students.

“Students and instructors are exposed to new cultures, the elements and are out in the field during the day and at night,” Herrmann said. “It is very adventurous

and also academically very rewarding.”

Van Wyk said UA offers day trips or weekend trips within Arizona, but students gain much more experience from the study abroad programs.

“In contrast, being in the field becomes your lifestyle,” she said. “International students see what they know already, but experience new aspects—most importantly new people with different cultures and sometimes different values.”

Van Wyk encourages students to

explore situations and countries that are unfamiliar. She believes a more global understanding is key to developing solutions to the issues we face as a species.

“If we really care about the planet and nature I think the most meaningful approach is to understand people and their motives,” she said. “Understanding people and environmental challenges on a global scale help to find perspective and ultimately understanding ourselves.”

Tucson Fire captain shoots ex-wife, kills man

BY CAITLIN SCHMIDT, ARIZONA DAILY STAR (TNS)

A Tucson Fire captain shot and killed a man and wounded his ex-wife before turning his gun on himself in a busy Foothills restaurant Friday night.

Frederick Bair, 60, a 24-year veteran of the Tucson Fire Department, worked as an Emergency Management and Homeland Security captain.

“The Tucson Fire Department is heart broken over the news regarding the shooting at La Encantada that occurred Friday night,” department spokesman Capt. Barrett Baker wrote in a news release. “The department extends it thoughts and prayers to the families of this tragic event.”

The murder-suicide occurred at about 7:30 p.m. inside Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a popular restaurant at the high-end La Encantada mall at North Campbell Avenue and East Skyline Drive.

When deputies arrived, they found Bair and another man already dead.

On Saturday, authorities identified the victims as Eliot Cobb, 65, and Mary Jo Bair, 57, Bair’s ex-wife. She was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries described as not lifethreatening.

Detectives had to interview dozens of witnesses, who were rushed out of the restaurant after the shooting, said Deputy Cody Gress, a Pima County Sheriff ’s Department spokesman.

David Hardin was celebrating his grandson’s 18th birthday when they heard gunshots in the main dining room.

“We hit the deck,” Hardin said. People hid under tables before being ushered out of the building. “It was pretty startling, surreal actually,” he said.

Hardin said he was impressed by how quickly sheriff ’s deputies and other personnel arrived and how many came.

Sheriff Mark Napier arrived, as did

representatives from Victims Services, to help calm people down and hand out information, Hardin said.

Paul Hallums was walking across the courtyard in front of Firebirds with his wife and two children when a crowd of people came “crashing” out of the restaurant’s front doors.

“Many were screaming as they ran in all directions. One man was running, carrying a highchair with his young child still in it,” Hallums told the Star. “We didn’t hear any shots, but we could hear crashing sounds like furniture being knocked over as people poured out the front door.”

Although the situation seemed to begin to calm down, people continued to run from the area for several minutes, Hallums said.

Friends and colleagues expressed shock and disbelief in posts on social media after Bair was identified as the shooter Saturday.

Bair’s younger brother, Frank, died Monday of diabetes-related complications, according to a post on the Rincon High School Alumni’s Facebook page. Services and burial were held Thursday, an obituary notice said.

Pima County Superior Court records show that Frederick Bair’s divorce was finalized in September.

Mary Jo Bair is a Pima County court reporter, according to her Facebook page.

Over the years, the Arizona Daily Star published several photographs taken by Bair at Tucson Fire Department incidents.

The most recent accompanied a story in October about a man who was rescued after getting stuck in the chimney of his home near the University of Arizona.

In 2011, Bair crawled through a home filled with heavy smoke to rescue a mother of two who was trapped inside.

After she recovered at a hospital, the woman presented Bair with a bouquet and hugged him, the Star reported.

POLICE BEAT

BY MICHEAL ROMERO @mikerazors

Difficult times A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a welfare check on a woman near the CVS on University Boulevard April 9.

A friend of the woman in distress made the call to police at 12:23 a.m. after she received concerning text messages from the woman that referenced suicide.

The police officer canvassed the area surrounding the store, but did not find the woman.

Upon calling back the woman’s friend, the woman was found near the water fountain in front of Old Main.

When the officer arrived, the woman appeared to be in better condition and explained to the officer that her suicidal thoughts had subsided.

The woman denied being under the influence of any intoxicants or other substances at the time and when sending the messages.

She agreed to speak with a member of a community health association who had confirmed that the woman was not a harm to herself at the moment.

The woman ended her night in the company of a friend and continued to walk around campus to ease her mind.

Partied too hard A UAPD officer responded to a call from the Cochise Residence Hall April 9 to assist the Tucson Fire Department with a female UA student who was vomiting in the front lobby.

The UA emergency responders tried to render aid to the woman, but the student continued to dry heave and speak incoherently.

The woman was emitting strong intoxicant odors and needed to be transported to the hospital.

The UAPD attempted to contact a family member responsible for the female’s well-being, but the woman explained that her family situation was complicated.

Her mother could not be located, and the woman mostly resided with her sister in Queen Creek.

Because the woman did not have her phone, her sister also could not be contacted.

The woman told the officer that she had arrived at a party on Greek row and entered because it looked fun.

She assured the officer that all the alcohol she had consumed for the night was by her own free will.

The woman could not remember which fraternity she had visited and was diverted to the UA Misdemeanor Diversion program for underage drinking due to being only 17 years old.

Student seeks ride home, finds discomfort Can a woman just get a safe ride home without feeling creeped out?

BY TALYA JAFFE @TalyaJ4

I

n the past two weeks I have had not one, not two, but five different middle-aged male Lyft drivers who all managed to (possibly unintentionally) say or do things that made me notably uncomfortable for the duration of my ride with them.

As a student whose sole form of transportation is my bike, in order to avoid the dangers of riding home alone in the dark on the nights I stay late in the library or for a review session, I take a Lyft or Uber home.

From time to time, I become more lax on this policy of mine, when I can’t spend the money or when I stupidly forget that I am a constant target, simply by being young and female. But then something happens, and I am reminded of just how real the terror is of being alone, outside, in the dark.

So, usually I find my best course of action to be taking a Lyft or Uber home. Last week, I had a Hebrew test on Monday, a law and morality test on Tuesday, a neuroscience test on Thursday, and a chemistry test on Friday; hence, I spent nearly every night in the library until the wee hours of the morning.

The first night of last week I took a Lyft home, my driver instantly asked about my religion and nationality as soon as I got in the car. That is no crime, though it was unusual and made me feel a little strange. Had it then proceeded to normal chit chat, it would have been a fine ride.

However, then he asked me what I studied, and upon finding out, told me “oh! You don’t seem like the type of girl to study neuroscience and philosophy.” “Oh?” I ask, “What type of girl had you stereotyped me for?” “You seem like the type of girl who just likes to have fun, you’re too smiley and friendly to be studying those things!”

So apparently, for anyone who was not yet aware, having fun and being intelligent are actually mutually exclusive. Be careful, you wouldn’t want to try to live a well-balanced life. Either be stoic and smart, or be smiley and dumb, those are your options.

The next morning, a different Lyft driver picked me up from my house to take me to campus. I slid into his car and he asked if I was

going to school. I responded yes, and asked him to please take Park Avenue. He began to drive as he turned to me and told me to keep being a good girl and stay in school.

A “good girl”? Can you imagine an adult male telling a 20-year-old guy to “be a good boy and stay in school”?

While I am sure he meant no harm by the comment, it resonated with me as I thought about how demeaning some societal norms are, like calling adult women “girls” or telling adult women to be “good.” It is a blatant double standard, as I don’t see adult men being called boys (except as an insult), nor do I see other adult men (or women) instructing them on how to act

to please society or individuals.

The saga continued that night, with another middle-aged male driver who inquired about my studies. “Oh, so you wanted to have the smarts and the beauty, huh? One wasn’t enough?” he asked, chuckling to himself.

It may seem harsh to complain about someone for giving a “compliment,” but when it is a compliment aimed at a woman you’ve never met before, who is in a confined space with you, who is at least 25 years younger, a “compliment” like that can be very unsettling.

It’s not to say any of these men are bad people, nor to say they necessarily even had bad intentions, but the fact of the matter is there is a

problem in this world if I, and every other young female, cannot figure out a way we feel truly safe getting home after a late night of studying.

How ironic is it that we take Uber or Lyft to avoid the dangers of walking or biking alone at night, and yet those same uninhibited, entitled men could be our drivers? Even if some of these drivers mean no harm with their abrasive, sexist commentary, how am I supposed to know that?

I have been trained to always have my defenses up with men I don’t know, and I don’t think it is asking too much that I be able to get a ride home in peace, without having to fear the fact that a strange 45-year-old man who hit on me now knows where I live.

UA to launch Antarctic balloon for NASA NASA mission GUSTO aims to send a telescope and sensor suite high into the Antarctic sky. The goal? Discover new galactic secrets

BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @willwrock529

NASA selected a new space mission to be led by UA astronomy department and Steward Observatory professor Christopher Walker in late March. The 100-day mission will require a lot of GUSTO to succeed. The mission aims to study interstellar gas and star formation in the Milky Way galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud using a balloonlaunched upper atmosphere observatory.

The Galactic/Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory (GUSTO) project will use a longlasting balloon to take a telescope and suite of chemical sensors high into the sky in Antarctica in 2021.

The goal of GUSTO is to further our understanding of the origins of the universe.

NASA selected the GUSTO out of two finalists and eight total mission submissions. The selection procedure—part of the NASA Explorers program—was highly rigorous.

“Then they have a whole bunch of engineers, technicians, program managers, accountants and scientists go through it very critically and come up with strengths and weaknesses,” Walker said. “And then 30 people fly in to your university for a site visit. We had an all day meeting and interrogation on our project that lasted from sunrise to sunset.”

The selection process continued beyond the site visit.

“It’s usual that you’ll have to propose a couple of times before NASA selects it because it gives you time to decide if you really want to do it, if it’s technically possible, or can it be done with the cost cap that you’re given,” Walker said.

The total cost for the GUSTO mission is $40 million.

The research started with a high altitude balloon launched in Antarctica in 2012 and later in 2016. In the first flight, helium gas leaked from a container due to the loss of pressure and heat as the balloon rose into the atmosphere.

The team tried again in 2015, with heaters and more precautions to prevent a leakage, but faced weather issues.

The researchers left the payload in a hangar in Antarctica before being invited to try again in late 2016. Both the 2012 and 2016 launches primarily measured carbon atoms.

“The good thing is in that four-year period, the radio detectors we were using got much better, meaning we got more science done,” Walker said.

The payload consists of a gondola frame with antennae, a telescope and a device used to measure and record carbon atoms. The telescope was reused between the two missions, but the gondola itself had to be rebuilt. Using the telescope, the team is able to manually aim towards the specific area they want to research and evaluate.

“We were there from October to January and we got some good results, and now we’re working on GUSTO, which is a fancier version of this,” Walker said.

GUSTO is unmanned and autonomous, with antennae attached allowing for communication via satellite. The device will record carbon, nitrogen and oxygen through radio waves.

“You can use those three atoms to trace the components and phases of the interstellar medium,” Walker said.

“And those atoms act like little radio transmitters which, by themselves, are too faint to detect, but with billions

gathered together, they become detectable.”

For example, the researchers will be able to learn if a supernova occurred by measuring patterns in the atoms.

GUSTO will map a large chunk of the Milky Way, and swing 180 degrees around to map the Large Magellanic Cloud over the course of 100 days.

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way with the characteristics of a young galaxy not too long after formation, making it ideal for studying star formation and the origin of the universe.

“The Milky Way is an example of a more evolved galaxy, so by comparing them, we can understand how star formation changes over all cosmic time,” Walker said.

The balloon will be launched in the Antarctic summer to provide constant solar power for the payload. Other reasons for the chilly launch site include favorable wind

patterns that will aid in payload recovery and the lack of overflight restrictions in Antarctica, allowing for freedom in flight and retrieval.

Antarctica is also a place of high elevation and therefore little water vapor.

“Water vapor in the earth’s atmosphere is what sucks up these high-frequency radio waves that we’re trying to detect,” Walker said. “And up there we have 95 percent transmission, which is just as good as going into space and much cheaper.”

GUSTO will help make strides in our understanding of the universe and how it was created.

“The point I like to make is that 4.7 billion years ago we were all the interstellar medium, and the planets and everything on them are a by product of the star formation process,” Walker said.

Gallagher Theater brings movies to campus The theater, located in the Student Union, shows a variety of films for students on campus and on a budget

BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat

Wildcats, we have a venue for one of America’s favorite pastimes right under our noses. Most of us pass by it each day. The Gallagher Theater is located conveniently within the food court in the Student Union Memorial Center; its posters outline both current and upcoming showings of a variety of films, and on movie nights, the unmistakable scent of popcorn lingers in the air from the box office.

The theater has been showing movies Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday this semester, while in the fall semester movies will be shown Thursday, Friday and Saturday, according to Christina Partica, the sales coordinator at the Student Union who also manages the Games Room, Gallagher Theater and the union art galleries.

According to Partica, these movies are chosen as part of a collaboration between herself and the students who work in the space.

“We have a couple of student leads that run the Games Room and Gallagher Theater, and their input is taken into account, as well as the hourly students, the leads, and the employees both contribute to the decisionmaking,” Partica said.

Partica said the movies are also based off of what is popular at the moment.

“This month we’ve been showing a lot of Oscar films, because the Oscars just wrapped up, and also just what seems popular on campus,” she said.

“Horror movies are always a big hit; it’s just kind of what’s going on, on campus, what the students feel [is] the most popular. There’s not really an equation or a formula, it’s kind of based on demand.”

The theater also hosts movie theme months. Partica said Gallagher’s most successful themed month was Monster Movie Madness month in October. Students can look

forward to this themed month in the fall semester, as Partica said they will bring it back again.

Partica said the theater tries to center themed months around holidays; for instance, in February they did a Valentine’s/ anti-Valentine’s theme where one week they had all romantic movies and then the next week it was all anti-love movies, followed by mushy romantic films.”

Gallagher also features Foreign Film Fridays. “The Dressmaker” and “Skiptrace” will play April 21 and 28, respectively. “[The theater has] generally diverse film choices,” said Catherine Weibel, a freshman majoring in math and physics.

Partica said she thinks the

theater provides affordable entertainment for students oncampus. Tickets at Gallagher Theater are $3 each.

“The movies are really expensive; I went to one myself last week and I was like, ‘wow, this really adds up,’” Partica said.

“It saves students a lot of money, it’s right here on campus. You can use CatCash. It’s a convenient, safe, easy, affordable—all those adjectives—type of location for students on campus.”

The theater is also used for classes. Zachary Graves, a freshman with an undecided major, said he’s never seen a movie in the theater but has been there for a class.

“I enjoyed the class in there;

it’s a very comfortable place,” Graves said. “It’s probably one of my favorite classrooms out of the whole university, next to Koffler.”

Partica said the Gallagher Theater has found great success in the past year by printing tiny flyers that list all the movies they have for the entirety of the month.

These flyers are handed out at Park Student Union and Highland Market.

Of course, Gallagher Theater also advertises their showings with the movie posters in front of the theater and with ads on the centerpieces found on tables in the Student Union Memorial Center.

One of the next upcoming films the theater will show is Marvel’s

“Doctor Strange.” The film will play on April 20 at 5 and 8 p.m., April 22 at 2 p.m., and April 23 at 2 and 5 p.m.

Following “Doctor Strange” is the John Hughes classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” which will play April 27 at 5 and 8 p.m., April 29 at 7 p.m., and April 30 at 2 and 5 p.m.

Partica said Gallagher Theater takes suggestions at the box office. Feel free to leave a request or email recommendations to SUGallagherTheater@email.arizona. edu and see if your requests come to fruition on the big screen.

A GROUP OF PEOPLE paint the cistern in the UA Community Garden on April 15. The cistern collects rainwater to be used to water plants in the garden and surrounding area.

UA community garden paints cistern

BY LEAH GILCHRIST @leahcgilchrist

Students for Sustainability hosted an event in the UA Community Garden on Saturday to paint a mural on the side of the garden’s rainwater cistern and to come together as a community.

Students for Sustainability, the SFS UA Community Garden Committee and the SFS Environmental Arts Committee planned the “Painting the Cistern!” event as a way to celebrate the community’s hard work to get a cistern into the garden. The 20,000-gallon cistern was brought to the garden through student funding and planning through Students for Sustainability. The cistern is one of the first rainwater harvesting cisterns on campus. It collects water from the top of the Highland parking garage, and the water is used to irrigate the garden and other surrounding areas.

“It’s been going on for so many years now, I think three or four years now, and finally this year is the first year that it was functional.” said Jackie Mendelson, the UA Community Garden manager and a senior majoring in plant sciences. “It’s a testament to student initiative and student commitment to water harvesting.”

At Saturday’s event, SFS aimed to bring the community together to celebrate the work the garden has done this year.

“It’s an opportunity for people to come and interact with the garden space.” said Erin Scott, a member of the SFS Environmental Arts Committee, head of planning the Painting the Cistern! event and a freshman majoring in studio art.

The team created the design for the mural on the side of the cistern. They wanted to create a mural design representative of the garden and community, deciding on a desert scene with the Santa Catalina Mountains, cactuses, native plants and desert wildlife. The

mural took up just a few panels of the cistern, as the Environmental Arts Committee decided it would like to annually add to more of the panels of the cistern. The committee decided on a paint-by-number system to paint the mural to make it easy.The 10 a.m. event brought students out for music, food and painting in the garden. It was an event open to all in the community to join in and paint the cistern.

Sigourney Sanchez, a member of the SFS Greening the Game Committee and a junior majoring in general studies, came out to help paint the cistern on Saturday morning.

“I’ve always had a love for painting and art in general, and it really relaxes me,” Sanchez said. “After this week I kind of just needed to breathe and I feel like this is a very zen atmosphere.”

Sanchez wanted to come out to support the UA Community Garden Committee with their event while taking a moment to enjoy the nice weather and clear her mind with painting.

She said it was important for her to come and help because she knows looking back she can say she had a hand in painting the cistern.

The high turnout in the garden meant many hands helped paint the mural. The mural was completed with just a few small details to go in about half the time expected. The Community Garden was vandalized earlier in the semester, and with that loss still in the back of the minds of many members of the program, they look to host peaceful events in the garden as they rebuild.

“These last couple of months we’ve been in the process of rebuilding since the vandalism, but having a beautiful mural on our cistern is just something we really need right now.” said Feibien Cheah, a garden intern with Students for Sustainability and a junior majoring in optical science engineering.

The students hope to expand on the mural in the future and to add panels of inspiration for years to come.

Master Gardeners Presentations For anyone with a not-so-greenthumb, help is here for you. All month long, the UA Pima County Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners program is giving free talks at local libraries about various topics in agriculture. This Tuesday, April 18, the Master Gardeners are offering two presentations.

Burlypicks performers take stage for competition

BY KIRSHANA GUY @DailyWildcat

Sixteen performers competed in the 2017 Arizona Burlypicks Regional Competition, a burlesque faceoff featuring a variety of performances such as singing and lipsynching, on April 15 from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. in The Screening Room.

Mr. Exotic World 2015, Matt Finish, is credited with bringing Burlypicks to Arizona.

Finish hosted Saturday’s Burlypicks event, where performers competed for 10 awards between various categories. All awards except two were chosen by judges. Winners will have the chance to represent Arizona in their category at the World Championship in Denver August 25-26.

Cherry Charming and Desire d’Amour competed for “Master of Amazement.”

D’Amour, while performing her routine, lit the end of her tassels on fire and continued her performance.

A handful of the performers competed for the title of “Master of Improv.” The Master of Improv performances, however, were different than the rest of the show. The catch of these performances was that Finish chose the songs, based on the time periods selected by the four competitors for the title, and the performers had approximately two-and-a-half minutes to woo the audience and judges.

Nikki Riot, a local performer, chose the 1950s. The song chosen was none other than Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue.” Second up in the run for “Master of Improv,” was Charming, who chose 2010. Finish chose PSY’s “Gangnam Style,” and Charming embraced the themed song and threw in some of the actual dance moves that had once been so popular.

Mone’t Ha-Sidi, from Sacramento, California, also competed for “Master of Improv” and chose the 1990s.

The last performance for “Master of Improv” was Primrose Path, who also performed to a 1950s song, “Mr. Sandman.”

Ha-Sidi and Path tied for “Master of Improv.”

“Master of Tassels” was a mini competition between Maxi Millions, Miss Brawling Beauty and d’ Amour. This competition was determined by audience applause.

The performers had 90 seconds to impress

the crowd, who would then select a winner.

The music started, the women tasseled their hearts out and the crowd went wild.

The winner of “Master of Tassels” was d’Amour.

Another mini competition judged by the audience was “Master of Assels.” This short competition also included tassels, but instead of their normal location over the nipple, the tassels were placed on the butt.

Riot and Ms. Lavender Bitters competed for “Master of Assels,” and Bitters won.

There was more to come for the evening.

Finish introduced “Master of Singing,” contender Jake von Karnas as “the voice of Tucson.” The crowd soaked up Karnas’s voice as he sang “Be Prepared” from “The Lion King” soundtrack. The “Master of Singing” title later went to Ivana Schtupp.

The competition also featured several “Master of Comedy” acts, including performers Irma Gerd, Alan Wrench, Taryn Garters and Stormy Leigh.

Leigh started performing burlesque in 2006 in Tucson. Leigh said she always had an interest and that she took ballet but found it very limited.

“I was petrified,” Leigh said about how she felt about her first performance. “I didn’t have the self-confidence.”

Charming shared a similar recollection of how she felt during her first performance, saying she was “kind of nervous.”

“I performed in high school in marching band, so I was kind of used to it,” Charming said. “I was nervous because I did a solo my first time and there was a bigger adrenaline rush, but it was a lot of fun.”

When asked how she became interested in burlesque, Charming said she went to a show in Flagstaff, Arizona. This was a show that featured Finish and Fanny Galore.

As the competition came to an end, the three judges tallied up the points to declare the winners. During this time, there was a solo by Galore. One of the three Burlypicks judges was Mia PiaCherrie, a member and founder of BurlEscapades.

“I was thrilled to be a judge,” PiaCherrie said. “It was really hard, but it was so much fun.”

Macdonald makes her mark halfway around the world Olivia Macdonald hails from Piopio, New Zealand and finds herself on the other side of the globe in Tucson. She has made quite the impression on, and off, the sand

BY NIKKI BAIM @ nikkibaim22

Olivia Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O … and then she somehow ended up playing beach volleyball on the opposite side of the world.

The UA’s 6-foot junior blocker grew up in Piopio, New Zealand, a city with more sheep than people. Literally. Piopio’s population is estimated to be around 400 people, while Macdonald’s farm alone has around 500 sheep, among other animals.

Macdonald’s childhood role was as a caretaker for her animals, bringing them milk each morning and feeding them in the evenings, but she moved out of the house at 11 years old to attend boarding school.

“It’s not a bad thing to stay [in Piopio], but I never really wanted to stay,” Macdonald said.

A few years later, at New Plymouth Girls’ High School, Macdonald became an allaround athlete, playing basketball, cricket, field hockey, volleyball and netball. That one unfamiliar sport, netball, was the one she was planning to take to a professional level.

“That was my main sport,” Macdonald said. “That’s what I thought I was going to do the rest of my life.”

Indoor volleyball was just one of Macdonald’s hobbies, but her success led her to high school nationals, then the New Zealand Under-17 Indoor Team. She competed nationally for New Zealand, but the opposition revealed that indoor wasn’t the right fit for her.

“We played in China against the women’s Japanese team and the Chinese team,” Macdonald explained. “Those girls are like 6-foot-9 and it was the scariest moment of my life. Me, playing middle against these 6-foot-9 women. It was scary, so much fun, but an experience where I was like, ‘Yeah I’m definitely not playing indoor volleyball anymore.’”

Then, a bench coach inspired

ARIZONA BLOCKER OLIVIA MACDONALD (5) kneels for a dig during Arizona’s 4-1 win against Santa Clara at Beardown Beach on Friday, March 31.

Macdonald, who was a high school graduate at this point, to try out for an under-19 beach volleyball squad.

“I had no idea what I was doing with my life,” Macdonald said. “I’d already graduated high school. I was done.

I hadn’t even applied to university in New Zealand; I was just chilling. I was living and working at a bar.”

Unexpectedly, the dirty blonde, bright blue-eyed Kiwi found herself recruited by Arizona’s head coach Steve Walker and previous assistant coach Claire D’Amore at a college exposure tournament in Huntington Beach, California.

Macdonald stood out among

100 teams for her outstanding athletic ability, but Macdonald misled Arizona’s recruiters.

“She was wearing a UCLA T-shirt,” Walker said. “UCLA had just received a verbal commitment from a prospective student athlete from the country of New Zealand. I thought Olivia was her. I was disappointed to find that she would be going to UCLA.” But D’Amore, who played on the New Zealand pro tour, stepped in and spoke to Fiona Scrimshaw, Macdonald’s club director, and learned that another athlete was going to UCLA, not Macdonald.

Arizona would be where Macdonald was to spend her

next four years.

After seven months of working and paying her own rent, Macdonald moved back into a dorm and lost her driving privileges because, if she got behind the wheel in America, her New Zealand license would have her driving toward oncoming traffic.

“It was the biggest culture shock of my life,” Macdonald said. “I got here and I felt like everything was pulled out from underneath me.”

Additionally, Macdonald couldn’t find comfort on the sand volleyball courts. She said she was a foreigner and had only been playing the sport for three months and was thrown into a

program that had barely begun.

“I did not feel good enough at all,” Macdonald said. “I was so scared to be playing with who I was playing with because they had already been playing for years. When I was a freshman, we didn’t have upperclassman that really helped us out.”

After starting in the sixth seed her freshman year, Macdonald has seen tremendous growth in her game and has accomplished a 29-9 record over two seasons.

However, there were even challenges for Macdonald this year, when she started off as the third seed instead of second.

“I thought we’d worked a lot harder than that,” Macdonald

Baseball takes final two games, series over Ducks The Wildcats were sparked by the return of ace J.C. Cloney on Friday night and they were able to come back after dropping game one

BY ROSS OLSON @rossolson95w

After falling in the opener Thursday night, the Arizona baseball team responded with two straight wins over the Oregon Ducks on Friday and Saturday at Hi Corbett Field to take the series. The two wins moved the Wildcats to 26-9 in the season.

The UA won 5-4 on Friday behind a solid performance from ace J.C. Cloney during his first start back from injury. The Wildcats also got some help from the Oregon defense, which committed five errors.

Cloney lasted only one batter in his previous start last weekend against Washington State before leaving with a bicep injury.

The lefty ace did not make his usual start in the series opener Thursday night, but he reported that he felt fine after throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday.

“I felt great,” Cloney said. “It was nice to get back out there.

We wouldn’t have put [me] back out there if I didn’t feel normal. Once the bullpen [on Wednesday] went well, it was a no-brainer to start today.”

Cloney went six innings while allowing three runs with five strikeouts in his seventh win of the season.

The Wildcats got off to a hot start in the first inning when they loaded the bases with one out for Mitchell Morimoto, who grounded into what looked like an inning-ending double play, but Ducks’ second basemen Morgan McCollough threw the ball away allowing two to score for the UA. The UA took advantage of another costly Oregon error in the fifth when Morimoto singled to right with runners on first and second.

Arizona head coach Jay Johnson held up Cal Stevenson at third, but Oregon catcher Tim Susnara tried to back pick Stevenson, causing the ball to sail into left, allowing Stevenson to score and give the Wildcats a 3-0 advantage. Nick Quintana

followed it up with a two-out, two-run single to the left to make it 5-0 UA. The Ducks showed signs of life in the seventh when they were able to scrap three runs together with a double and two sacrifice flies off Cloney and Cameron Ming, who came on in relief.

Ming was able to hold off the Ducks until the ninth when they narrowed the deficit and nearly came back.

After Ming hit Kyle Kasser, Jake Bennett drove him in with an RBI double to right center. Cody Deason came in to shut the door, and did so after getting Gabe Matthews to flyout and pinchhitter A.J. Balta to ground out.

The Ducks lead the Pac-12 in ERA, but Johnson called his staff “comparable” and said that they were a big reason the Wildcats

were able to take game two.

“They have a really good pitching staff over there,” Johnson said. “They just seem to make pitches, and I’m really proud of our hitters. We finally got the barrel to the ball with runners in scoring position.”

The Wildcats’ offense exploded on Saturday in their 18-4 victory over the Ducks.

Like Friday’s game, the Wildcats got off to a fast start with three straight hits from Stevenson, Alfonso Rivas and Jared Oliva, which loaded the bases for J.J. Matijevic with no outs. Matijevic came through with a single to left center to score Stevenson and gave the UA a 1-0 lead.

Morimoto followed it up with the fifth-straight single of the inning to score Rivas. After Nick

Quintana popped up, Cesar Salazar hit a two-run bloop single to center to extend the lead to 4-0.

The UA added another one in the second when Rivas doubled to left and went to third on an error. Oliva drove in Rivas with a sacrifice fly to make it 5-1. They tacked on another after Matijevic singled, stole second and scored on a double by Morimoto. Then Quintana launched a two-run home run to left to open the flood gates and make it 8-1.

The carnage did not stop there as Matijevic doubled in the fourth then scored on a questionable play at the plate after a single by Quintana. The Wildcats added another in the fifth courtesy of a Matijevic RBI single giving UA a 10-1 lead. The junior was 4-4 by the fifth inning.

The Wildcats offense exploded again in the seventh inning for six more runs to make it 18-4.

Rivas finished 5-5 with four runs and two RBIs. The UA has now scored 18 or more runs six times this season.

Rio Gomez gave the Wildcats an efficient start as he went 6.2 innings, allowed four earned runs on nine hits and struck out three.

“The readiness of the team is what I was most proud of today,” Johnson said. “There was no doubt about who was going to win the game today from the first hitter of the game. The offense was relentless with quality at-bats.”

Up next for Arizona baseball is a three-game set against the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City that begins on Thursday, April 20, at 6 p.m. MST.

Softball no longer chasing history after series loss to Utes

BY NOAH SONNET @texaslad32

Arizona softball made their way to Salt Lake off to one of the best starts in school history, riding a 26-game winning streak. By the time Arizona had finished its three-game set with Utah, neither of those streaks remained intact, as the Wildcats dropped the last two games, resulting in their first series loss of 2017.

Game 1 – Arizona 5, Utes 1 As she has done throughout the season, Danielle O’Toole shut down the opposition’s lineup Thursday night, allowing only five hits and one earned run, which came in the final inning of the senior’s complete game performance that moved her to 22-1 for the season.

A Tamara Statman RBI triple in the second inning was the only thing separating the No. 2 Wildcats and No. 14 Utah early on. In the fourth, things began to come together for Arizona, and again it was the bat of Statman producing a double that drove in two runs for the Wildcats. Statman would finish the day 2-3 with three RBIs. Game 2 – Arizona 3, Utes 6 In the blink of an eye, everything can change, and that’s exactly what happened to the ‘Cats’ chances at history on Friday in Salt Lake. The 6-3 loss ended the team’s 26-game winning streak and marked their first loss in the

said of third place. “I was like, ‘No, no.

I’m a No. 2. I’m going to do it. I was going to make it to that two spot.”

And she did it, with her partner Olivia Hallaran.

“She’s super, super bubbly and always super energized,” Hallaran said of Macdonald’s personality. “She’s a super positive person; I don’t think I’ve ever seen her down at all.”

Macdonald has a unique strategy for intimidating rivals: smiling.

“I get into my head a lot,” Macdonald said. “For me, smiling is the way for me letting it out. So, when I’ve shanked a few balls and they’ve scored a few points on me, I just smile at them. I’m like ‘bring it.’

This is my intimidating face right now. I don’t look scary. I’m just smiling at you; I hope you feel weird about it.”

Macdonald’s energy is also influential on younger athletes. With D’Amore, Macdonald helps coach Tucson’s beach volleyball club team, Desert Sand Volleyball.

“She’s a natural-born coach,” D’Amore said. “She’s the positive one. It always helps just listening to her talk; she never has anything negative to say. To hear her

Pac-12 Conference.

Utah became the first team to score more than four runs on the Wildcats, as Taylor McQuillin (13-1) was shelled for six runs in 3.2 innings, ending the sophomore’s perfect season.

The Utes Miranda Viramontes did a phenomenal job all game in the circle, and despite allowing Wildcat base runners throughout, she came away with her 11th victory of the year.

Dejah Mulipola was the lone bright spot for the Wildcats as she went 4-4 with a double. Mo Mercado and Katiyana Mauga were the only two Wildcats to record an RBI. Game 3 – Arizona 2, Utes 3 Needing a win to avoid losing their first series of the year, the Wildcats had ace O’Toole (22-2) out in the circle.

The senior did what she could, going the distance and striking out eight. But her performance was in vain, as an RBI single by Alyssa Barrera in the bottom of the seventh gave the Utes a walk-off victory.

Arizona has now lost back-to-back Pac-12 Conference games for the first time this season and will have to pick themselves up as they face a top-ranked Oregon team this coming weekend.

The Utes appeared to be unphased, consistently pressuring the highly ranked Wildcats all weekend.

Arizona’s offense struggled to produce, scoring a total of 10 runs throughout

accent gets people’s attention. She’d been a positive influence on our club.”

Following her career at Arizona, Macdonald said she would like to play a fifth year of indoor at a school on the East Coast. She’s in no rush to return to New Zealand and aspires to live out her travelling pursuits as long as possible.

“I love to travel; I just want to see the world,” Macdonald said, specifically pointing to Europe as one of her dream destinations.

If Macdonald does ever find herself ready to settle down, she has plans to put her bachelor’s degree in Sports and Society into action through a startup that encourages kids to play sports and be active.

“A lot of little kids just aren’t playing sports,” Macdonald said. “I’d love to make a program which kickstarts that into the old days. When we were younger, we used to run around and play all sports 24/7.”

However, that is a long-term aspiration for Macdonald.

“I’m not ready to start the career thing yet,” she said. “I just want to work so I can travel right now.”

She has potential to play volleyball for years to come, according to Walker.

“No one burns as hot as Olivia,” Walker said. “Olivia works as hard as anyone

three games. Considering the team averages close to eight runs per game and scored over 40 last weekend, it’s fair to say the offense did not pack the big bats for their trip to Salt Lake.

Saturday’s 3-2 loss marks the first time O’Toole has lost since mid-February.

Utah themselves struggled to produce runs in game three, yet at the end of the day, their winning result is all that matters for a team that has now won

nine games against ranked opponents this season. The Utes now move to No. 2 in the Pac-12 and trail Arizona by just three games.

The Wildcats will face New Mexico State in Las Cruces, New Mexico on Tuesday in a double-header. Arizona returns home after that for a threegame series against the Oregon Ducks beginning on Friday, April 21 at Hillenbrand Stadium.

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA BLOCKER OLIVIA MACDONALD (5) goes for a tip during Arizona’s 4-1 win against Santa Clara at BearDown Beach on Friday, March 31, 2017.

we’ve had in the program. Olivia’s someone who could continue to get better well into her 30s. There’s no reason in a country as small as New Zealand why she can’t represent them in some shape or form internationally.”

Currently, Macdonald is living in the moment at Arizona, and while the fear of senior year’s rapid approach is creeping up on her, she’s said ready to “bring it on” and move up to the Wildcat’s No. 1 team next year.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

TIPS

FOR

(2016 Health & Wellness Survey, n=3,113)

Male Condoms 101 Here are the answers to some of your most commonly asked questions about male condoms: Yes. “Double wrapping” does not provide double protection. In fact, using two condoms at one time causes friction which may cause condoms to rip and tear. Keep it simple and effective and use one condom with one penis.

What is the best brand of condom?

All condoms, regardless of brand, are regulated by the FDA and go through rigorous quality control testing during each step of manufacturing to ensure that they are safe and effective. The brand of condom, as with any product, is usually chosen based on marketing, hearsay, and personal preference.

Is pulling out as effective as using a condom?

No. Condoms are 82-98% effective in preventing pregnancy and provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The withdrawal method is 78-96% effective in preventing pregnancy

but does not provide STI protection.

The range of effectiveness rates represents typical to perfect use.

Is there such a thing as a one size fits all condom?

Penises come in different sizes and so do condoms. Contrary to popular belief, condom sizes are based on the circumference or girth of the penis, not the length.

There are generally three different condom sizes: snug fit, regular, and magnum. It’s important to get the correct size because condoms that are too tight can break and restrict blood supply to the penis; condoms that are too big can slip off during intercourse. There should be a little bit of extra space at the tip for ejaculate.

Where can I get free condoms?

At FREE CONDOM FRIDAY – which happens every Friday from 12-2pm (Fall & Spring semesters) on the 3rd floor of UA Campus Health in Health Promotion and Preventive Services.
