‘I don’t have a place in my heart for Somalia right now’ BY TORI TOM @DailyWildcat

When ethnic Bantus of Somalia faced genocide during the early ‘90s, 6-yearold Abdirahman Chirango escaped on foot across hundreds of miles to his country’s southwestern border. He remained in a congested refugee camp for more than a decade. Chirango fled to Kenya in 1991 with his maternal grandmother, two aunts, younger sister, an uncle who carried his infant brother and

Abdirahman Chirango escaped violence and lived in a squalid refugee camp for over a decade before reaching the U.S. fellow Bantu villagers in search of security amidst Somalia’s raging inter-tribal wars. Families were forced to abandon their livelihoods because of imminent terrorization from militants who, according to Chirango, plotted to massacre his people if they stayed. As a boy, he helplessly

witnessed the murder of his mother for resisting rape and the branding of his uncle and grandmother for protecting her. Chirango numbly watched as flames engulfed their house. “I can still see my young brother sitting next to the lifeless body of my mom, suckling her breast,” he recalled, “[and] my sister splashing in the

blood of my mother.” Following brief hesitation, Chirango continued his recollection, his 6-foot2 frame tensing in a tidy, vintage, gray suit. “Up to today, I can still smell the smell of burning homes,” he said. As a minority group, Somali Bantus faced vehement persecution by majority clans with Arab roots as a result of their alleged inferiority. Their origin of ancestry comes from countries near the eastern ridge of Africa. Experts say Somali

Teams compete over self-driving car software More than 20 teams from UA and across the globe took place in a three-day competition to test software used in real-world situations BY ROCKY BAIER @profroxy

The Cognitive Autonomous Test Vehicle or CAT Vehicle competition rolled to a stop with the final tests and simulations on Tuesday afternoon in front of Old Main. This competition, hosted by the UA, invited national and international students from Georgia, Missouri, Switzerland and Chile to test their computer programs alongside students from the UA. Judging concluded at 5 p.m., announcing the international robotics masters students Toni Rosiñol, Jen Wei Nian and Lanke Fu from ETH Zürich, a STEM university in Switzerland, as the Best Overall winners for having the most “uncanny representation” of the real world in their simulation. They also won Best Classification for the most differentiation in the objects in their simulation. “I feel like over the last couple of days everyone’s been pretty engaging, so we got a lot of help from Matt [Bunting],” Fu said. “We are a foreign team, but we also got a lot of local help from the teachers here. So we’re like, part [of the] UA as well.” The team cited Rosiñol’s push to have clean code instead of the usual quick-but-sloppy hackathon style, which is good

if you were keeping it tidy from the very beginning,” Rosiñol said. “That is the approach we followed, and I think it really helped us to get good results in the end instead of fast results.” Other winners included

dream that would never come through.” Villagers stepped over piles of their neighbors’ bodies and left emptyhanded, deprived of food and water for nearly a month, relying on tree branches to combat starvation and their own urine to keep hydrated. Though Chirango’s family survived the genocide, most did not. Of the few hundred who escaped 26 years ago, about 40 percent of the group reached Kenya. “Parents and loved ones would have to walk away from their children because they could no longer afford to carry them,” he said. The same militiamen from whom Chirango’s people retreated also occupied their encampment at Dagahaley Refugee Camp, regularly stealing refugees’ sparse food rations from their dirt-stained tents. Contrary to everyone’s wishful thinking, their quality of life did not get better on the other side. In fact, Chirango said their level of subjected marginalization in Dadaab matched the degradation they faced back home. He mentioned that women and girls who ventured into the bush for firewood were raped, whipped and sometimes dismembered. Finding riddled bodies inserted with foreign objects was a common occurrence. Teachers demanded that minority students sit on the dirt floor beneath their peers, intentionally deterring them from attending school. Chirango’s older relatives expected the Somalian conflict to cease, making way for an eventual safe return to their homeland. Yet, they soon realized it was improbable. In the heart of chaos, Chirango withstood physical and emotional abuse, finding clarity and empowerment through learning. “I had a goal, which was to get educated, because the only way I could help my people in the future was with education,” Chirango said. “That was my weapon.”

locally, according to the Somalian Bantu Association of Tucson, with assistance from the International Rescue Committee. In addition to collaborating on the Beyond Fear: Tucson Refugees Tell Their Story project, which is inspired by Chirango’s testimony and sponsored by the UA Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry, Myadar and her colleagues are extending their campus initiative called Dismantling Fear. Migrants complete a series of United Nations and immigration interviews and undergo intensive scrutiny and medical screenings abroad before they are considered for entry into welcoming nations. It is a stringent system with no guarantees. Muridi, Chirango’s younger brother who he last saw 17 years ago, is still awaiting approval in Dadaab. “I believe that general misunderstandings about refugees are primarily due to lack of knowledge about the refugee resettlement processes,” Myadar wrote via email. “Often, refugees are lumped along with asylum seekers and other foreign nationals who come to the country on different visa types.” Together, Myadar and her teammates hope to utilize both projects by generating awareness, support and kindness for the Tucson refugee communities who are now moving on from their shambled pasts. For the time being, Chirango flies across the country for business trips on behalf of his cousin’s grocery store, Safari Market, as the assistant manager. However, he plans to further his education and ultimately become an Arizona Bar-certified immigration attorney. Chirango, whose name means “Servant of God,” regularly tutors youth on how to read the Quran in Arabic at the Islamic Center of Tucson. With five children of his own, Chirango has no intention to revisit his homeland and the lingering trauma it inflicts internally. His life may have started in Somalia, but it continues here. “I don’t have a place in my heart for Somalia right now,” Chirango said.

could learn this future technology. “Most of the programmers who know how to program self-driving cars are only at Uber and Google,” D’Souza said. “If you think about it, you want these guys to be at the auto companies, not at the software companies. Our tools have always been toward auto companies and aero companies without programming backgrounds.” MathWorks, a mathematical computing software company, hosted the competition. Students use MathWorks programs MATLAB and Simulink, which is designed to help nonprogrammers code better and quicker “There are definitely a lot of jobs out there, and there is a massive vacuum in the auto industries for engineers who know about these algorithms,” he continued. “That’s why it’s important. We need more people in the industry; it’s as simple as that.” Over the course of one to six months, the nearly 20 teams worked to create a computer program using MATLAB and

In this [competition] you’re taking a real thing and trying to turn it into 3-D space.” Mentor and graduate student Matt Bunting was astounded to see the results some of the groups made, saying it was better than he could’ve imagined. He predicted that the class he helps teach connected to this competition will continue to be about self-driving cars for at least a couple more years. “We did teach how to program apps because that was the hot, new thing when the class started in 2008,” Bunting said. “But now the hot topic is autonomous vehicles, so right now we’ll stay on that until the next new thing comes up.” Dr. Jonathan Sprinkle, professor for the class, made this competition possible after 18 months of planning and work. He hopes the students participating in the competition leave with a sense of accomplishment.

‘History Lab’ shares stories from around Tucson The exhibit’s first set of stories will detail Tucson’s beer history, prominent black historical figures and offer research perspectives from grade schoolers and UA students BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

The Arizona History Museum is opening a new exhibit, called “History Lab,” on Friday, April 28, at 5 p.m. Les Roe, Southern division director of the Arizona History Museum, said while museums don’t like to use the word “permanent,” this exhibit will be around for a while. “This is long-term,” Roe said. “It’s less of an exhibit and more of a program. We’ll continually be creating new stories, and it’s safe to say the current batch will be up until the end of this calendar year.” The inaugural set of stories are curated from Betty Cook on the history of beer-making in Tucson, Bernard Wilson on prominent black figures in Tucson history, Agua Caliente Elementary School fourth grade class on the Agua Caliente Park and a UA history capstone research class, according to Eric Gonzales, of the Arizona Historical Society. Roe said the idea of curating stories from the community is a new way of approaching history.

“These are big history stories, but they’re done in a very compact and small way,” Roe said. “Because the exhibits are standardized, almost the way you might think about making a Model-T Ford, it makes it easier to work with community scholars.” Roe said not only will the exhibits be updated regularly, but they are also easily portable and inexpensive, due to the standardization. “It allows people to tell a story they’re interested in, in a way that’s affordable and easy to reproduce,” Roe said. “These exhibits are much more accessible, and one of our next steps is to take this batch of exhibits and put them out into the community.” While the location where the community exhibits will go is still being decided, Roe said schools, libraries and local businesses are ideal options. Overall, the goal of this program is to update the way both museums and the public look at history, Roe said. “It’s ultimately to change the face of the museum and change the conversation that, as museum professionals, we’re the experts, telling people what they should know,” Roe

said. “It’s turning that over to the community members and allowing them to talk about what they think is important.” Roe said he hopes people will care more about history, especially local history, when they can help decide how

to tell the stories. He said having the “History Lab” as a dedicated, physical space should help that goal. “The physical space is where the stories are created,” Roe said. “It’s literally, not figuratively, a lab of history.”

11AM-1PM

Wall ball gone wrong A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling near the Main Library around 11 a.m. when he noticed a male repeatedly throwing a ball against the wall and catching it. The officer approached the male, asking to speak with him. “Yeah, what is the problem?” the man asked. The officer responded that he wanted to ask him a few questions and see his ID. The man said he had a paper ID but the officer asked him for verbal identification. The name and date of birth the man gave the officer came back with no match. Police finally looked at the man’s paper ID, which had a different birth date than the man originally claimed to have. Dispatch advised the man had two active warrants and the man was placed under full custodial arrest. As police walked him to a patrol vehicle, the man repeatedly called the officer a “fucking asshole” and claimed harassment. When police searched the man’s belongings, they found needles, a blue glass pipe with burnt residue and broken up crystals inside. The crystals tested positive for methamphetamine, and the man’s belongings were transported to UAPD. The man was taken to Pima County Jail, where he was booked for possession of drug paraphernalia and on three confirmed warrants with the possibility of additional criminal charges. Egg on their face A UAPD officer watched two speeding vehicles run a stop sign and red flashing lights around 1 a.m. on April 10. The officer noted it looked as if the two vehicles were chasing each other and proceeded to perform a traffic stop on the second vehicle. The driver immediately told the officer they were trying to flee a third vehicle that was throwing eggs at them, which cracked the car’s windshield. The car had three additional occupants, one of whom had egg residue on them. The occupants said they did not know who was throwing the eggs but that the vehicle in front of them was also trying to get away from the subject throwing the eggs. The subjects who were throwing eggs were in a separate vehicle and went to an unknown location. A passenger showed the officer that the eggs were filled with confetti. A man on a bicycle came up during the stop visibly upset. He had egg residue on his shirt and said someone threw eggs at him and his friend as they were riding their bikes. The man said he wanted to prosecute if the subject throwing the eggs is located, but no arrests were made.

Total Frat Move projects misogony of Greek Life BY TALYA JAFFE @Talyaj4

FM—Total Frat Move or Total Fucking Misogyny? The latter option is indeed the case, which is pretty easily discernible if you visit any of their social media pages or their website. They hide under thinly veiled attempts at “humorous commentary,” but in reality, they support and encourage not only misogyny but general disrespect toward any group of human beings who are not as shallow, privileged and arrogant as they are. The toxic culture of TFM oozes into the UA atmosphere, as this campus is highly infiltrated by Greek Life. Let us stick to the hook of this article first and shed light on the misogyny of TFM. TFM’s social media accounts are plastered with pictures of college women’s bodies, with sections of their site devoted to things like “Babe of the Day” and a plethora of videos of blackout drunk girls doing things I am sure they would prefer not be on the internet for eternity. Yes, I know the “rush boobs” girls (supposedly) consented to being put on the internet, but why is that even a thing? Why do frats feel the need to literally “brand” girls with the frat’s letters? If a girl feels comfortable posting pictures of her body, there is nothing wrong with that; I am in no way trying to shame any girls for being proud of and comfortable with their bodies. It just seems strange and disconcerting that frat boys are trying to show their “property” via branding, as if these girls’ breasts are material items. Even if, for argument’s sake, we say “rush boobs” are not problematic, where is the line drawn? I have personally watched UA frat boys at campus pool parties tug on girls bikini strings or tug on their nipple-covering hands while these “rush boobs” pictures are being taken. The boys will laugh and pretend they are kidding, but they are not. Many of them truly believe females are there for male entertainment and sexual pleasure, and thus show no respect to the female body or the female as a human being. If a girl already has the name of some festering boy cult written on her boobs, isn’t that enough?

JUNI NELSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE POPULAR SITE TOTAL Frat Move creates content catering to Greek culture on college campuses across the nation. Many of the articles on the site provide commentary on women and the culture that surrounds Greek life.

Do frat boys really need to be even more disrespectful toward her body and try to push her to show more than she is willing? After the “rush boobs” section, keep trudging through TFM’s little site of horrors and you will find articles such as “The Overbearing Fraternity Girlfriend,” which calls frat boy girlfriend’s “bossy.” Have you ever heard a man get called bossy? No. That is because that word does not exist as an option for adjectives to describe a male, as it has been replaced with “good leader” or “commanding,” complimentary words which TFM fails to attribute to any female, ever. The rest of the article continues being condescending as all hell, concluding with a paragraph addressed to “ladies”—as if any self-respecting females would actually take these frat robots (“frobots”, from here on) advice on how to be a better, less “bossy” girlfriend. I, too, have had the pleasure of being called “bossy” (and a “bitch”) by multiple frat boys on a few different occasions. One prime example was on a night last year that I spent searching for a missing and in-distress friend. Most of the frat members who I asked about my friend’s whereabouts were entirely apathetic, and upon my pursual of the topic,

they quickly became defensive, telling me to stop being such a “bossy bitch” and to “get off of their property”. The hunt is not over yet. There are still gems to find, like “18 Ways to Anger Feminists,”an article written by someone with the temperament of a belligerent 2-year-old who isn’t getting his way. The column is paired with a picture of a girl who would never be deemed “worthy” of the frobots’ “Babe of the Week” honor holding a sign that reads “this is what a feminist looks like, ”as if to not-so-subtly drive TFM’s point home that not only is feminism irrelevant and deserving of mocking, but so are the people who identify as feminists. This particular misogynistic TFM column is great because as the next generation of leadership of this country, it is vital to our success that half the population shun and mock the other half of the population, simply based on the desire of one part of the population to be treated as equal to the other. If you can wade through the pictures of faceless boobs and butts with Greek letters on them and the proclamations of blind devotion to America, beer, Trump and blonde college females, you will find a

prime example of TFM expanding beyond misogyny and scampering right across the ladder to racism, classism and utter obnoxiousness. The website recently published an article regarding the United Airlines scandal where an Asian male doctor was physically dragged off of an overbooked plane. The article on TFM brutally shunned United Airlines for issuing an apology for the incident, saying, “apologizing is a sign of weak leadership.” It goes on to rag on the victim (alluding that the Dr. was asking for it—sound like a familiar argument?), asking what a doctor was doing in coach anyway and calling him pathetic and psychotic (interesting that TFM has the qualifications to make a medical diagnosis!). This site and their associated social media pages are revered in the Greek world, especially on UA’s campus, and that is simply egregious. After college comes the real thing, as in, there is no more constant partying and messing up “allowed.” If all you have done for four years is disrespect humanity, namely women, how are you going to just shake that upon entering the “real” world? You aren’t, and therein lies the problem. The UA has a societal obligation to produce well-rounded, respectful, educated adults, but sadly, those are not the words that come to mind when I think of how I’d describe UA frat boys. No more “boys will be boys;” these are adults we are talking about, and there is no excuse for their culture of misogyny, homophobia and general elitism. When I’ve brought this up to other people on UA’s campus, they often dismiss TFM and the whole frat culture on the grounds that college is a time to have fun, don’t kill their vibe, etc. I just don’t see it as “vibe-killing” to point out the issues with a website that is vile enough to say things like “Donald [Trump] has a stranglehold on the best segment of women: the hot ones.” Shouldn’t we try to make our university better than this degrading, misogynistic and disrespectful frat culture? I think yes, and that starts with each individual Wildcat on this campus. End the trend, UA. Boycott TFM, boycott dangerous and disrespectful things that our Greek life does (you’ll have a hard time finding the things not to boycott under those guidelines), and if you have been, stop feeding into this vile frat culture that poisons not just us, but colleges across the nation.

Geoscience field course celebrates 25th anniversary UA course Sense of Place has taken countless students out to experience nature. The course recently celebrated its 25th birthday and 100th field trip BY REBEKAH ULMER @DailyWildcat

Last Saturday, UA students and faculty celebrated the 25th anniversary—and 100th field trip—of a beloved geoscience field course. In a modern classroom setting, it is almost unheard of for a class to be comprised mostly of field trips. Enter GEOS 195D, Sense of Place. The class was originally created by geosciences professor emeritus Bob Butler from the geosciences department. When the class first started in 1993, the UA was experiencing an unprecedented freshman dropout rate and administrators were desperate to raise retention rates. In lieu of a face-to-face discussion with students about faculty research, Butler suggested field-based instruction instead. The course is designed to utilize the combined knowledge of two professors, each with different skills and perspectives. Currently, the class is taught by Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research dendochronology associate professor Paul Sheppard as the ecology specialist and adjunct lecturer Gary Huckleberry as the authority on geology. The class meets once a week for several hours before a weekend field trip to discuss what aspects of nature they will be focusing on and learning about. There are four day-long trips over the course of the semester—one per month, each exploring a different aspect of Tucson’s natural surroundings. The current trips travel to the Santa Cruz Basin, Hohokam archaeological sites, the Tucson Mountains and Mt. Lemmon. Students keep detailed field journals with notes and sketches describing the things they observe, then turn in a summary of their trip that integrates everything they learned together with a larger focus on how all these different aspects collectively form a particular place. Each trip is designed to give students a different perspective, and the class as a whole is meant to help students translate all those different perspectives into one complete representation of Tucson. The course is open to all students and every major is welcome. The content attracts native Tucsonans, international and out-of-state students alike. “I’ve really liked this class because I wanted to learn more about Tucson,” said astronomy and physics undergraduate

Emily Walla. "I’m not from Arizona; I’m not from the Southwest at all, and being able to come here and learn all the history that I’ve learned about my home in one course is incredible." Students in the course have an opportunity to not only learn about how Tucson was formed in terms of physical elements but also about past cultures and how they survived and lived in this desert region for so long. On a few of the trips, students have the opportunity to taste local foods, such as mesquite pancakes and saguaro blossom tea. “I really like how it combines geology and archaeology, and almost like sociology too; you’re learning a lot about where you live, which is super cool because you don’t get that sort

of personalized learning experience anywhere else,” said Laura Vargas, a physiology undergraduate. The course’s main goal is to help students develop a sense of place in Tucson and beyond. “They take you to these places that you wouldn’t really think to look around, to get a feel for Arizona and the Tucson area, but you get to see these cool little niches that really give you a better feel for the desert and the ecosystem, really just things that you wouldn’t think about, but it makes living in Tucson more endearing,” said engineering undergraduate Allan Chon. Along with the appeal of a field tripbased class, students said it is partially the enthusiasm of the professors that really makes the class worthwhile.

For the past 13 years, Sheppard and Huckleberry have taught the class together. They have developed relationships with students that transcend the boundaries of the classroom, in part due to the intimate nature of the course. “In the field, there’s a different type of bonding that takes place,” Sheppard said. The class is designed so students have unique access to their professors and the scientific knowledge they bring with them. It is also a goal for Huckleberry and Sheppard that students have an opportunity to bond with their peers over the course of the semester and hopefully create lasting friendships. “The one credit is not a motivator for the course; it’s a matter of taking these trips,” Huckleberry said.

Rooftop garden teams give final presentations BY CHANDLER DONALD @chandlerjdonald

Awards for the Rooftop Garden Competition will be presented Thursday, April 27, at the Student Union Memorial Center fourth-floor terrace. Gallagher Theater hosted the finalists of the Student Union Rooftop Garden Competition last Thursday, April 20, as the teams presented their final presentations. Teams were given 15 minutes to present the entirety of their garden, followed by a five-minute question and answer with the judging panel. The final six teams came from an original lineup of 24 groups of five students representing a range of departments and schools around the UA. Students from agricultural sciences, engineering, business and design all brought their perspectives and expertise to the planning of the SUMC rooftop garden. At the beginning of the semester, SUMC administration created a competition for students to team up and design an allinclusive development and production plan for a garden built on space allocated by the student union. Competitors were free to get creative as they liked as long at the garden produced food for the Campus Pantry and union restaurants. Decisions had to be made about every aspect of the garden, including labor scheduling, harvest planning and nutritional analysis. Each group brought different perspectives to the choices in front of them.

When it came to choosing a growing technique, teams had limited options. The two prominent choices were a soil-based garden or a hydroponic garden. The latter relies on a nutrient-rich irrigation system passing through the roots at all times. However, one team included a method of gardening that judges didn’t expect to see. Team 2, made up of Chetan Bafna, Alex Garcia-Ramirez, Maria Marzano and NaRayah Runyon, designed a “fogponics” greenhouse. Fogponics takes advantage of a soilless system like hydroponics, but by exposing crop roots to a nutrient-rich fog, gardeners can use 70 percent less water than the already low-water hydroponics approach. “Fogponics is relatively new,” said GarciaRamirez, a senior studying biosystems engineering, mathematics and mechanical engineering. “We would be conducting research in this garden”. One aspect of the garden that saw many different approaches was labor scheduling. Teams were told to design the garden with a budget of $50,000, including the first year’s labor and maintenance cost. While most teams chose to create two or three student part-time positions lead by a gardening expert, Team 13 proposed a different solution. Team 13 was made up of members from UA’s Students for Sustainability organization. They described their labor plan as “student led, student fed,” conscripting volunteers from SFS and other environmentally conscious organizations.

Movies of recent past celebrate five years this film provides great historical reference and certainly heightens appreciation for one of our most famed presidents. Lincoln had to overcome a great deal in a time that was challenging for our country. This is a history lesson that won’t be accompanied by a test; you can watch this film on Hulu or with a Showtime subscription on Amazon.

BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat

Five years ago, movie theaters were full of cinematic, modern-day classics that have become audience favorites. We were presented with the action-packed superhero film “The Avengers” and stories of breaking and healing in “Silver Linings Playbook.” With summer around the corner, look no further for films to watch or re-watch to celebrate the semester’s close. “The Avengers” Earth is under attack by Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, an Asgardian. To defeat this new enemy, SHIELD director Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, launches the “Avengers initiative” in hopes of effectively combatting the new threat. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) all must learn to work as a team, despite their different ideas on how to approach and overthrow Loki, and save the day to return safety and order back to the world. Aliens from outer space, a psychotic god from another planet, explosions, missiles and wormholes with a celebratory meal of shawarma are all in a day’s work for Earth’s mightiest heroes in this 2012 superhero film gone wild. Envision kicking ass by renting this on Amazon or skyrocketing into the unbelievable with Netflix DVD. “Silver Linings Playbook” Bradley Cooper plays Pat Solitano Jr., a man diagnosed with bipolar disorder and recently released from a psychiatric hospital. Pat returns to Philadelphia to live with his parents, hoping to better himself in order to reconcile with his ex-wife, Nikki, played by Brea Bee. In the course of this, he meets Tiffany Maxwell, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who is struggling with her own problems after unexpectedly losing her husband. Because Nikki has a restraining order against him, Pat cannot make direct contact with her, and his family members refuse to help. Tiffany agrees to help him communicate with Nikki

on the condition that Pat be her dance partner in an upcoming competition. Raw, vulnerable and unexpected, Pat and Tiffany find that working together heals them and guides them to their silver lining. Find your silver lining with Netflix DVD or by renting on Amazon. “Hotel Transylvania” This animated feature details Dracula’s, voiced by Adam Sandler, desperate attempts to keep his 118-year-old daughter, Mavis, voiced by Selena Gomez, at home and prevent her from going to see the world, as well as falling in love with a human. Dracula runs a hotel for monsters in Transylvania where they can safely be themselves without having to hide from humans. All the monsters are invited for Mavis’ birthday party, but to Dracula’s dismay, a traveling human man named Jonathan, voiced by Adam Samberg, also makes an appearance. Dracula must now hide the fact that a human is in a hotel from all the monsters or else face the end of his business while simultaneously preventing Mavis and Jonathan from a ‘zing,’ otherwise known as a connection. You can watch this film

with Netflix DVD or on Amazon. “Chasing Mavericks” This film, starring Gerard Butler as Frosty Hesson and Jonny Weston as Jay Moriarty, is an adaptation of the life of real-life surfer Jay Moriarty. After Frosty saves Jay from drowning as a young kid, Jay becomes fascinated with surfing and decides to pursue the sport. Flash forward a few years and 15-yearold Jay reconnects with Frosty and learns about gigantic swells known as mavericks. Reluctantly, Frosty agrees to teach Jay how to surf these massive waves and the journey begins, evolving into a tale of hard work, dedication, love, friendship, mentorship, chasing dreams and mavericks. Chase the waves yourself with Netflix DVD or by renting on Amazon. “The Vow” Starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum as young married couple Paige and Leo Collins, this film will take you on a heartwrenching journey that shows just how far one couple will go until death do they part. One night, Paige and Leo are in a car accident

on their way home. When Paige, who experienced the worst of the accident, awakens, Leo is distraught to discover that she has no memories of the last few years and, most importantly, no recollection of Leo. Leo does his best to help her remember, but the strain it places on them both leads to Paige returning to the home of her wealthy parents, where she resumes the life she left behind while Leo struggles to move on. Nonetheless, this young couple made a vow, and in the end, love finds a way through; sometimes, you just have to look beyond what’s in front of you to have a new beginning. Make a vow to watch this film with Netflix DVD or by renting on Amazon. “Lincoln” This historical drama will deeply move you as it details the struggles in the final months of President Abraham Lincoln’s life just before his assassination in 1865. Daniel DayLewis portrays the unforgettable President, fighting to keep the Emancipation Proclamation in place, as Lincoln fears the courts will disregard it following the end of the Civil War. Angst is not spared, and

“People Like Us” Sam Harper, played by Chris Pine, is facing trouble in his career and with the law when he finds out from his girlfriend that his estranged father has died. Sam reluctantly returns to L.A. from New York to attend the funeral, and through a series of events, he finds out he has a half-sister through his father. Sam gradually becomes friends with his sister Frankie, played by Elizabeth Banks, and her son Josh, played by Michael Hall D’Addario. Yet, Sam does not reveal who he is to Frankie for quite some time, and when he does, she explodes in anger. This is a story that will tug on your heartstrings and make you realize the importance of family whilst juggling past hurts and forgiveness along the way. People like you can watch this film on Hulu or on Amazon with a Showtime subscription. “This Means War” Tom Hardy and Chris Pine star as CIA agents and best friends in this romantic comedy. The two compete to earn the affection of Lauren, played by Reese Witherspoon, whom they both initially start dating without realizing she is seeing both of them. Unaware of their true profession, Lauren is oblivious to their antics and misuse of spy skills in order to impress her and make sure the other isn’t sleeping with her. Get ready for an amplified version of the unexpected when it comes to online dating and know that this means war. You can view this film with Netflix DVD or by renting on Amazon. The year 2012 boasts many more films worth viewing. Check out “Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” “Magic Mike,” “Parental Guidance,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Brave,” “Life of Pi” and “21 Jump Street,” to name a few.

Stop by our nutrition tables on the mall during Finals Survival Week Kick-Off, Wed., 5/3 from 11am-1pm, and pick up some essential nutrition swag to get you through finals!

Three Diets That Sound Healthy But Aren’t Changing how and what we eat is often driven by a desire to either lose weight, gain energy or improve overall health. As appealing as some diets may seem, they can be frustrating to follow and results may be temporary at best. Here are three popular diet approaches that sound healthy, but have the potential to do more harm than good. Detox Diets. Preying on fears that toxins are collecting inside our bodies, detox diets generally claim to flush out the bad stuff and revive health by way of fasting, juicing or by eating only fruits and vegetables. The more restrictive the plan, the more temporary this diet is because it’s extremely low in calories and nutrient-poor, which can lead to low energy, low blood sugar, and even vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Fortunately, it is the natural function of our skin, liver, kidneys, lungs and digestive system to do all the detoxifying our bodies need. Avoiding Carbs. Removing all carbs can help eliminate high calorie sugary soft drinks and junk foods like candies and pastries, but it also knocks out

several nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains (like oats and whole wheat), beans, and dairy. Eating mostly plant-based carbs will supply the body with essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that keeps us feeling full and satisfied after a meal. Carbs are the body’s primary source of fuel needed for exercise and for proper brain and organ function, so choose wisely for maximum health and energy benefits. Clean Eating. A deceptively simple concept: eat more wholesome foods that are closest to their natural state, and eat less highly processed foods with lots of added ingredients. Problems arise when this perception of eating healthier becomes a fixation about food purity that can ultimately lead to disordered eating habits. If eating “clean” equates to a diet with more plant foods and less fast foods, cooking more and eating out less, and drinking more water and less sugary beverages, then you’ve nailed a lifestyle concept that can help keep you healthy for years to come!

UA DANCE ENSEMBLE MEMBER Jada Pearman will be in “Jump Start: Student Spotlight” dance show. The last showings take place April 27 and 29.

UA Dance showcases experiences on stage BY SAVANAH MODESITT @DailyWildcat

The UA’s dance school is one of the top in the nation and has expanded in students and talent throughout the years. From April 20-29, student dancers and choreographers are showcasing their talents on stage at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre. The “Jump Start Student Spotlight” features 13 short dances, all choreographed and performed by UA students in the program. Tanner Boyer, a senior dance major, choreographed two pieces in the show. The first piece he preforms, called “The Process,” is a solo for his senior capstone. The second piece he choreographed, “Breakfast Burritos,” has 27 dancers. “It’s very enjoyable to be on stage performing,” Boyer said. “In the moment, you are representing the meaning of the dance or the artists behind the choreography. Sometimes it’s hard to get out of your head, but in the end, it’s always worth the great experiences.” Joe Novak, a senior in dance, performed alongside his friend, Boyer, in “Breakfast Burritos.” “Tanner doesn’t usually perform his own choreography, which is why this ‘Jump Start’

show is really special because he performs his last solo as a senior,” Novak said. Novak said being part of a 27-person dance piece like “Breakfast Burritos” has had an impact on his college dance career. “Being on stage is really fun when you dance with friends, which is why I like doing student shows like Jump Start,” he said. “Dancing with your friends is something you share and experience with all of them, which can be fun and emotional all in one.” Each student performance has a theme and message of its own, making the concert personal for many of its dancers and choreographers. Another student choreographer, Ross Freeman, is a dance and linguistics major. He was featured as one of the original choreographers for a piece called “Foreground/ Background.” “Its about having your time to shine and getting to showcase your own unique talent,” he said. There are only two “Jump Start” performances left in the semester, Thursday, April 27, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday April 29 at 1:30 p.m. For more information on the “Jump Start Student Spotlight” or to purchase tickets online, visit the School of Dance’s website.

TREND brings fashion to UA catwalk BY LAUREN GRIFOL @laurengrifol

A line showcased on a runway is not just a bundle of clothes being randomly displayed. It has precision and tells a story of the designer’s inspiration. TREND Fashion Club at the UA is a witness to that chronology and decided to expose it further by creating a fashion week on campus. The club hopes the event will bring knowledge about sustainable fashion, wearable technology, DIY, vendors and the use of creativity, style and vintage. The event is going to feature brands like Fed by Threads, Last Ones Left Apparel, J.J. Bikinis, American Monarchy and Pitaya. Among the people that brought this event to life are Gabriel Nakovich and Jenna DeMaio. Nakovich is a junior majoring in retailing and consumer science and minoring in fashion. He hopes to use his passion to become a creative director for a fashion company. DeMaio is a sophomore also studying retailing and consumer sciences and minoring in fashion with hopes of using her determination and creativity to “make a difference in the world of fashion,” according to her. Since both are inspired by the creative process, they recognized the hard work and dedication it would take to make the upcoming event happen. “In the summer of 2016, I was in a meeting with my president to discuss how to give TREND a lasting legacy here at the UA and to put TREND on the map,” Nakovich said. “I knew that the Miami University in Ohio threw their own fashion show and I was inspired by them.”

Nakovich is the vice president of TREND and said, without his executive board and the club members, fashion week wouldn’t be possible. “My Eboard and I came up with committees for members to get involved,” he said. “Each committee allows members to do what they’re passionate about. I believe my members do it because they realize the potential that fashion week holds for the future of the club.” DeMaio is the event coordinator and explains how it’s her duty to come up with events for the club. She wanted to use her extensive fashion background to bring more fashion to both the Tucson and UA communities and leave the club with a legacy. “Promotion is key,” DeMaio said. “We sold out of the show in weeks by promoting on the Morning Blend, greek row, all throughout campus and so much more. We got a lot of people to participate by making it a big event.” The show has already reached its full capacity and is completely sold out. With the launch date quickly approaching, Nakovich and DeMaio are looking forward to the outcome. “I am really looking forward to my dreams and visions becoming a reality,” DeMaio said. “Also, I am really looking forward to making fashion lovers in Tucson happy.” Nakovich said he is most excited to see the reaction from parents, students and teachers. “It’s going to be an extremely rewarding event because UA Fashion Week has allowed for my members and myself to grow professionally and creatively,” he said. “It’s all about attitude, because if you have the right mindset and attitude, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.” UA Fashion Week takes place this upcoming weekend, April 26-29.

A few weeks back in the Red Cup Q&A, we asked UA STUDENTS what they wanted to change about their drinking style, if anything. When we asked, “What’s in it for you?” here’s what they said: “I get to avoid all the bad side effects but still enjoy nights out with friends.”

“My friends won’t have to take care of me and I won’t embarrass myself.”

“Feel better the next day.”

“I’ll be happier and more social.”

“Keeps me in the buzz zone.”

‘‘

“Not blacking out.”

“I’ll have more fun if I can remember stuff.” “Won’t be annoying and obnoxious.” “I can get more done.”

“I can be more productive during the week so I am free all weekend.” “I won’t get too drunk to the point where I am sick or blackout or can’t control what I say or do.” “I’ll keep myself in check and won’t risk getting out of hand.”

’’

“Staying out of trouble.”

“Less embarrassment and better health.”

“Save $$ – less recovery time – better GPA!!”

“Using money for something productive.” “Being smart leads to a more pleasant experience.” “It is better for me and I will enjoy myself at parties a lot more.” “No hangovers, cheaper, no blackouts, no puking, more control over myself.” “Feeling better about myself.” “Have fun longer.”

doing the hard things. Being a quiet leader.” Appearing in 61 total matches, she finished with four goals and five assists. She even managed to score the first goal of the season this year and leave the UA as a member of the winningest senior class in UA history. Most recently, she was named the Giant Steps Award Winner by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports. She first heard of the award from CATS Academics counselor Jennifer Mewes. The award honors a student-athlete who overcame obstacles and made outstanding achievements in athletics. “One day, I was just chilling in biochemistry and I found out I was one of three finalists,” Selman-Richards said. “She called me and said congrats and that I had won. I didn’t really understand the merit of this award. I feel really honored to have won it.” For Selman-Richards, the honor represents all those who are still fighting their own cancer battles. “It helps me with all I’ve been through,” Selman-Richards said. “I had a lot of friends when I was going through treatment. One of the last ones who was still fighting actually passed away in October this past season. Winning this award makes me think of them and how much they helped me get here. I just want to be an example to all those fighting cancer that they can make it.” Benjamin Richards said that Selman-Richards is approached often about speaking to families whose children were recently diagnosed with cancer. “She will get a phone call or a message every couple months from somebody who has a child who recently was diagnosed with cancer,” Benjamin Richards said. “She is always willing to talk with the parents and go meet them in person. While she does downplay her experience, the empathy she demonstrates toward others shows you how big of a challenge it was in her life.”

With the diagnosis came more and more perspective. The little things just didn’t matter anymore. One thing that does matter is the support system she received throughout her fight and collegiate soccer career. While in the hospital, she received visits from her club team, coaches from the UA, neighbors, friends, extended family and everybody in between. “I knew I needed to focus on getting better,” Selman-Richards said. “Soccer would come back, but I was in the fight for my life.” While soccer has brought good memories, it has also brought pain. Like in the first 12 minutes of her junior season when Selman-Richards tore her ACL. “She lives by [doing hard things],” said senior teammate Hannah Stevens. “Especially going through her ACL injury, which is a huge thing to go through as a female soccer player. She just went through it so quick and with a good attitude, especially after everything else she has gone through in life.” It’s what has allowed her to serve as a mentor to the two freshmen who tore their ACL this past season. “I was just trying to be an example,” SelmanRichards said. “It’s one thing to talk, and then it’s another thing to watch someone come back from an ACL injury and play. I just think about how far I’ve come.” From meeting NBA eight-time All Star Steve Nash in the hospital to sharing her Make a Wish in Hawaii with her family, Selman-Richards feels lucky to have overcome so many difficult obstacles. “I think what’s great about her is that she doesn’t feel like she is special in any way,” Benjamin Richards said. “She feels lucky, but she looks back at the people who were fighting cancer at the same time, and in some ways, she feels almost like undeserving. They had just the same right to live as her.” For Selman-Richards, her future may not include soccer anymore, but it will surely include more trials and tribulations. The whispers will continue. Hard things await.

Women’s golf unlikely to win Pac-12 Tournament BY IVAN LEONARD @ivan14bro

After two days of the Pac-12 Women’s Golf Championship, No. 13 Arizona is in fourth place heading into the final day of competition. No. 5 UCLA leads the tournament with a -1 after shooting three under Tuesday. Arizona shot 22 over after two days of work, good for a combined total of 598, 23 shots behind the Bruins This year, Arizona hosts the conference championship, with Sewailo Golf Club as the site of the match. “We placed better, however, it is still not good enough, but we made progress,” said Arizona head coach Laura Ianello. “Hopefully we can keep up momentum. ... We’re not chasing UCLA; let’s just go out and post a good score; let’s just take care of Arizona.” Southern California is the defending Pac-12 champion after last year’s win at Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton, California. The Trojans aren’t likely to repeat as champions after shooting 31 over, including a 15 over at the end of Tuesday. The Wildcats ended day one in fifth place but moved up one spot thanks to solid performances from Haley Moore and Krystal Quihuis. Moore shot three under Tuesday after a slow start Monday and has given herself a puncher’s chance at the individual title at 10 strokes behind leader Lilia Vu from UCLA, who is currently at seven under for the tournament. “Haley would have to go really deep to catch Lilia [Vu],” Ianello said. “The fact [Vu] is seven under through these crazy conditions tells you how good she is.”

Vu is four shots ahead of teammate Bethany Wu and five ahead of Andrea Lee from Stanford. The three appear to be in the best position to secure the individual championship, but with inconsistent winds, that isn’t a certainty. “The wind has been rough to deal with for sure,” Ianello said. “Usually in the morning the wind is pretty calm, so I thought we could make up some ground today. But at eight this morning, it was howling; it has been awful.” Krystal Quihuis had been battling an illness leading up the tourney but is second for Arizona and 11th in the tourney with a 148. Wanasa Zhou is coming off a tendinitis injury and has shot a 160 so far, placing her 48th out of 55 golfers. After winning the Mountain View Collegiate last month shooting a 13 under, Zhou couldn’t keep the momentum going and has struggled to find accuracy during the first two days. “I don’t think the injury is a factor; she is not injured anymore,” Ianello said. “She is just not swinging the club her best, but she’s battling.” With a 20-stroke deficit separating Arizona from firstplace UCLA, it is unlikely the Wildcats will overtake the Bruins in one day. Tee time for the final round is 8 a.m. with the teams teeing off first to be determined. For stats and live updates, results.golfstat.com has score updates for the conference championships with scores of the first two days. After this, the Wildcats prepare for NCAA regionals starting on May 8 and lasting until May 10.

Beach volleyball hosts Pac-12 Championships BY NIKKI BAIM @nikkibaim22

The Pac-12 Beach Volleyball Championships are coming to the desert this weekend, and the timing couldn’t be better for No. 3-seed Arizona. Arizona’s first match will be Thursday against their most recent opponent, No. 6-seed Cal. Last weekend, the Wildcats swept the Golden Bears at home in what Arizona head coach Halli Amaro called the team’s best performance of the season. “Last weekend was one of the very first times we played good all together, so I think the tournament comes at the right time,” Amaro said. “The only thing that can hurt us is not giving it our all.” The tournament features the pairs bracket in addition to the team tournament. Arizona’s top pair, Madison and McKenna Witt, were seeded fifth and will play the 12th seed, Washington Huskies Cassie Strickland and Courtney Schwan. Arizona’s No. 2 pair, Olivia Hallaran and Olivia Macdonald, are the 10th seed and will play Stanford’s seventh

seed, Kathryn Plummer and Jenna Gray. “We have nothing to lose and everything to gain,” Madison Witt said. “Everyone’s just ready to compete and excited to compete at our home facility. We know to get to the finals we’re going to have to beat anyone. We’re focused and just really excited to compete.” The advantage of hosting the tournament is invaluable to the Wildcats, who, according to coach Steve Walker, may need to win the whole thing to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The tournament will also bring the nation’s top two teams, USC and UCLA, to Tucson. Arizona lost on the road to both teams but will challenge them to play away from the comfort of the West Coast beaches. “I think it’ll be interesting to see a lot of teams who don’t play in the desert come out here,” Amaro said. “It’s interesting to see how other teams have adapted and if they can adapt. I think that’s in our favor.” Arizona’s match against Cal is at 11 a.m. Thursday. If the Wildcat’s advance, they will play the winner of No. 1 UCLA and No. 7 Washington.

‘I can do hard things’

COURTESY ARIZONA ATHLETICS/LEXE SELMAN-RICHARDS/DAILY WILDCAT

Lexe Selman-Richards was on the verge of death; doctors had given up hope, but she held on and now lives in the present, providing hope to others

BY MATT WALL @mwall20

After her third round of chemotherapy, the hospital doctors had some unfortunate news to share with Lexe Selman-Richards and family. The cancer fight was over. “The doctors told my parents to say goodbye and that I wasn’t going to make it,” Selman-Richards said.

Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia cancer at the age of 17, Selman-Richards would not give up. Just months away from beginning her freshman soccer campaign at the UA, the dream was thrown out the door. She would just keeping telling herself: “I can do hard things.” “My mom used to whisper it to me when I was in the ICU basically on my death bed,” Selman-Richards said. “She just kept telling me, ‘you can do

hard things.’” Four rounds of chemotherapy total would be the difference as SelmanRichards now approaches five years of being cancer-free in May. She still remembers that routine checkup on April 20. “The day before I had gone in for a doctor’s appointment to see if I was immune to chicken pox,” SelmanRichards said. “I just did a blood test.” The blood came back with

abnormal levels, prompting doctors to send her to the hospital. A few hours later around 3 p.m. she was notified of the cancer diagnosis. “You get two seconds to digest it,” Selman-Richards said. “It was very surreal. I was going to start soccer for the UA that July. I was so active that I thought it can’t be me. I knew right away that it was going to be a battle.” Soccer came easy to SelmanRichards. The Draper, Utah native

played club soccer for 11 years and committed to the UA during her junior year of high school. “I can remember starting as a kid when everybody was in the huddle, I just had to be the person to lead the huddle,” Selman-Richards said. “I loved scoring.” She spent four years in the program giving back and playing hard and
