THE TUCSON ARTS BRIGADE works to turn graffiti artists into muralists in the Tucson Murals Project. This mural of a woman is on the side of the Julian Drew Block building downtown.
BY SEAN ORTH @seanaustinorth
The “starving artist” is a timeless cliché that both glorifies and belittles the alternative lifestyle of those who creatively express themselves for a living. But where do we draw the line between an occupation as an artist and those who feel an unrestricted need to share visual art, such as a graffiti artist who perpetrates vandalism? The key word is permission, and a local organization is doing its best to stretch that line between vandalism and art to encourage Tucson’s undiscovered artists to enter into the world of public murals.
If you take a walk through downtown Tucson, you’re bound to see at least one of 34 colorful murals that engulf entire sides of old buildings. It may seem like these works of art just arbitrarily appear throughout the city center, but the local organization Tucson Arts Brigade is the force behind these murals. TAB creates public art with one primary goal in mind: to beautify and unify Tucson. TAB has worked to develop and execute community arts efforts since 1996. Over the past seven years, TAB’s Tucson Mural Arts Program has aimed to prove how impactful public art can be. Michael Schwartz, president of TAB, has worked with mural arts

programs for over 30 years. A UA alumnus, Schwartz worked with the city of Philadelphia to coordinate their mural arts program before coming back to Tucson. Schwartz said the program was hugely successful in Philadelphia and Tucson could follow in the city’s footsteps if the whole community got on board. “This is a town where you can solve problems,” Schwartz said. “There’s a great deal of poverty, and we know how to solve these problems. It’s just a matter of funding, which is our biggest issue.” Each mural costs a couple thousand dollars to make, depending on the size and scale. Schwartz claims that thousands
@DAILYWILDCAT
of dollars per month are spent by Tucson Parks and Recreation to paint over graffiti and walls with old paint. TAB finds it hard not to see the benefits of implementing murals instead of incurring continual debts with constant repairs and repainting of graffiti. Schwartz and his fellow artists have tried to expand the Mural Arts Program, but funding always proves the biggest obstacle. Muralist Ignacio Garcia sees a bright future for Tucson muralists but said that funding, among other issues, still prevents the city from becoming an oasis of public art and creativity. It’s just because of the funding

Students protest Wells Fargo, DAPL on UA Mall BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
A group of students and community members gathered on the UA Mall on Feb. 10, chanting “water is life,” to demand the UA divest from Wells Fargo bank, a financier of the Dakota Access Pipeline. “Today we are announcing the launch of a campaign to get the UA to divest from Wells Fargo, to end its contract and end its relationship,” said Magdalena Rios, a member of the Chukson/ Tucson Water Protectors. The campaign, which will involve marches, rallies and teach-ins, plans to show solidarity with members of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation and pressure the Arizona Board of Regents and the UA to end relationships with all organizations supporting damaging projects such as the Dakota Access Pipeline. “Water is life for all of us, and the sovereign rights of Native Americans have been violated, and when their rights are violated mine and your rights are violated,” said Najima Rainey, a representative of Tucson’s Black Lives Matter. Rainey told the crowd the future will need water more than corporations or corporate interests and demanded the UA take a stand. “This isn’t just an institution for people to learn something and leave to get a job,” Rainey said. “This is a place where we shape young people to mean something and bring something

The protests come in response to two recent executive orders signed by President Donald Trump, which grant approval for the construction of the Dakota Access and Keystone XL oil pipelines. The orders directly contrast efforts by former President

crowd, “I stand here with you to continue the fight because this fight is important.” Gonzales wants to fight for clean air and water in order to secure the future for her children and her community. “It is the greed that money brings to people that make them think they are allowed to do this to anybody here in the United States,” Gonzales said of the pipeline. She plans to continue to fight for the rights of indigenous
communities and all Arizonans at the state legislature. “Are you devoted to your students, the future of this country, or are you devoted to money and just the ones who can pay?” Rios asked the UA. Rios remains devoted to organizing a fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline on the UA campus and believes the cause will succeed no matter how long it takes because water does not know time. Michelle Cook, a UA alumna from the gender and women’s studies program, travelled to the protest site at Standing Rock in North Dakota. She said the UA prides itself on being one of the first institutions to offer a program focused on Native American studies. “Now, is the university going to contribute to the destruction of indigenous people by funding a bank that is responsible for gross human rights violations?” Cook asked. Cook described images of individuals covered in bite marks from dogs from her time protesting the pipeline in North Dakota. Cook called on everyone on the Mall to join the resistance and cut off the money funding projects endangering the environment and violating the rights of indigenous communities. The UA also has a relationship with Bank of America, another financier of the Dakota Access Pipeline. JPMorgan Chase, Citi Bank and 14 other banks provided capital for the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Attack ads in ASUA pres. elections spark controversy BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33
Matt Lubisich, one of five Associated Students of the University of Arizona presidential candidates, found dozens of posters attacking his campaign early last Monday, Feb. 6. The bottom of the posters read “Produced by Students for a Trustworthy ASUA,” an apparent campus version of a political action committee. According to Chloé Durand, ASUA elections commissioner, the posters misquoted and attempted to defame Lubisich. She added that “Students for a Trustworthy ASUA” is a not an official organization. “The posters are a violation and were not approved by the elections committee,” Durand said. “After elections are over we will take a look again at the elections code and possibly add more about PACs to the elections code.” The posters were taped to buildings with the most student traffic, according to Lubisich. He found them hung at Highland Market and the Social Sciences and Cesar Chavez buidling bulletin boards and entrances, he explained. A final one was taped to the back entrance of the Daily Wildcat newsroom. Lubisich and his campaign team were able to quickly remove all the posters throughout campus. “Out of my three years at ASUA, they were attacking me on saying no to business cards,” Lubisich commented. “I don’t know and couldn’t tell you who is behind this, but I would love to talk to these students who have this vendetta against me.” Durand added that the ASUA elections committee did not want to make any
assumptions about who may be responsible for the posters. “It’s unfortunate that this type of behavior is happening because we’ve taken steps to remind candidates that it’s an election,” she said. “Unfortunately, that didn’t stick with a couple people and they decided to hang up these posters.” The ASUA election committee’s first course of action was to send out an email to all candidates reminding them that this behavior is not tolerated as outlined in the elections code. “We will try to see if there are cameras around where the posters were hung up,” Durand added. “As stated in the elections code on defamation, if we do find out it was another candidate it would result in immediate disqualification.” Enrico Trevisani, another ASUA presidential candidate and current ASUA senator, defended himself and explained that if he wanted to make any criticisms about Lubisich, they would be open and valid. “If we’re being frank, I think it was one of my opponents directly or people supporting that person,” Trevisani said. Stefano “Salt” Saltalamacchia, another ASUA presidential candidate, declined to comment on the posters early Thursday morning, expressing his distaste for the “nasty side” of ASUA elections. “Advertising this flyer will only perpetuate the message,” Saltalamacchia said. Sources commented on Trevisani’s past use of the word “trustworthy” when referring to ASUA, pointing out the parallel between “Students for a Trustworthy ASUA,” and

ASUA senators keep inconsistent office hours BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELL @_eoconnell
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona senators are required to complete a certain amount of office hours, but in a document received by the Daily Wildcat, no senator has successfully tracked and completed their hours. In the public Google doc sent to the Daily Wildcat that spanned the time between Nov. 7, 2016 and Jan. 13, total hours logged by senators ranged from just two to 27 hours. Senators are responsible for completing seven hours in office and five hours outside of the office for a total of 12 hours a week—no senator on the document had reached that 12 hours a week mark. Applicable hours include the weekly senate meetings or board and committee meetings. Since these meetings are held weekly and the office hours document has senators logged for fewer hours than those meetings require, it appears that not all senators filled out their log accurately. Although senators may forget to sign in, Trey Cox, ASUA executive vice president, admitted some senators have not been attending office hours. He said senators should be held accountable for it. “Some of the senators do a really good job when they go to their office hours every week without fail,” Cox said. “This issue only applies to a certain amount of senators.” Office hours give time for senators to work toward their platforms or accomplish goals. Some senators meet with administrators or different ASUA organizations and programs. In that case, the office hours may not be tracked or senators forget to sign in. The process of tracking the senate office hours happens through a sign-in sheet in the ASUA office.

added that anyone not present at ASUA meetings would have a hard time finding the information that was on the posters. “I think it’s obvious that the person who did this saw the meetings that were publicly available and didn’t see how the money was actually allocated,” Trevisani said. “I talk about holding ASUA accountable—not necessarily trustworthy—but that’s something I would support. I can’t stress enough that my campaign had nothing to do with it. It was poorly done and researched.” ASUA presidential candidate Cole Ryan also commented on the situation. “I feel like everyone should have a fair shot, and I don’t think anyone should be undermined,” he said. “Releasing these antiLubisich posters is defaming, and that’s not fair to him.” Christopher Wright, also a ASUA presidential candidate, added that he understands the desire and the need to hold ASUA accountable, but there are better ways.
“It is a super easy set up,” said Senator Enrico Trevisani, who’s logged the highest number of total hours recorded on the sheet at 27. “There is a piece of paper in the office. When you come in the office to do senate work, you sign in and when you’re leaving and you know you’re not coming back, you sign out.” Senator Matthew Lubisich, who’s among those with the lowest recorded hours at 2, said the signin system is a poor way of enforcing the office hours. The senators are looking into a CatCard swipe system for senators to check in. “I think without a doubt we need to have a swipe in, and honestly, office hours in my opinion are not a good measurement of how much a senator does,” Lubisich said. Although Lubisich said he sometimes does not track his hours, he is still in the office or in meetings. “I think reform is necessary,” Lubisich said. “I think office hours are necessary, but we should go about it in a different way.” On the other hand, Trevisani does think the hours are a good representation of how seriously someone takes the job. “I think if students want an indication of how we’re going to do the job we are going for, that actually requires way more responsibility as a full time job, it is some indication of our dedication to ASUA and our dedication to student government,” Trevisani said. Lubisich and Trevisani are both running for ASUA president. The primary elections start Feb. 13 and run to Feb. 15. Cox said the senators do not have a boss or advisor to be their driving force to attend office hours. As elected positions, it is a responsibility the senators have to take care of on their own. Instead of relying on a boss to reprimand them, the senate president and the whip are responsible for the senators. Lubisich and Trevisani are the senate “This is a student election, and this seems a little much to me,” he said. “I myself have not encountered things like this yet, nor do I hope to. I’d wish that we run this race as friends and allies and work for a better ASUA together.” According to Facebook like counts, a psuedo-polling method used by some of the candidates, Lubisich and Saltalamacchia are most likely to win, a source explained. Trevisani follows behind. However, the Facebook likes do not reflect how well candidates’ campaigns are doing, as they are not limited to UA students. Trevisani further defended his campaign, explaining that his relationship with Lubisich is professional. “In terms of our personal relationship, we do not spend too much time together outside our roles as ASUA senators,” he said. “But I’ve never had any reason to be unfriendly.” Lubisich added there is no reason for any candidate to be on unfriendly terms with anyone. “Right now I don’t have any reason to believe it’s anyone,” he said. “I’m just preparing for it to happen again Monday morning before primary elections on Tuesday.”

president and whip. But, this is not the first year senators have not been fulfilling office hours. Before Cox was executive vice president, he was a senator for two years. During his time as senator, the office hours were also a problem. He thinks the easiest way to hold the senators accountable is to publish the hours and make it transparent for all students. Lubisich mentioned how it is hard for some senators to complete their office hours. He gave the example of the College of Education Senator, Anna Reimers. He said Reimers student teaches from 8-5 p.m. every day. He said she has done great job already, but he questioned how she
issupposed to complete her office hours in a timely manner. Trevisani said there is a clear indication of which senators are fulfilling their duties because their presence is seen in the ASUA office. “You could ask anyone from policy or academic affairs, and they know the senators that are usually in office,” Trevisani said. “They recognize us, we have conversations and a lot of senators they hardly see, if at all.” Cox, Lubisich and Trevisani all said the senators need to be held accountable for completing their office hours. The easiest way to do this is through transparency, according to Cox.

POLICE BEAT BY MICHEAL ROMERO @michealbromero Cutting corners A University of Arizona Police Department officer was conducting rounds when he noticed a disheveled man on the east side of the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall with a bike and no bike lock at 3:33 a.m. on Feb. 6. The UAPD officer noticed the man had something tied up to the front of his bicycle by a piece of clothing. The officer began walking toward the suspicious man and the man tried to hide himself after unsuccessfully trying to enter the residence hall without his CatCard. The officer caught up with the suspect and began a field interview that revealed the man was not a student of the university. The man claimed he was looking for a cousin who attends the UA and that he had talked to him 30 minutes prior to his encounter with the officer. The officer inquired as to how the call might have been made after he noticed the suspect had no cell phone. The man had no explanation. A radio call to dispatch revealed that the man had two warrants under South Tucson police jurisdiction and the UA officer arrested the man for those charges. As the officer searched the bike, which the man confirmed was stolen, he found bolt cutters, channel locks and a pipe cutter for heavy gauge pipes. Gone pro A UAPD officer was dispatched to meet with a UA student regarding a stolen GoPro camera and its return on Feb. 7 at 7:41 p.m. According to the student, she was at the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity house at 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 6 for a Super Bowl party and was taking selfies with a friend in front of the house. She put down her GoPro camera and used a cellular phone for the selfies and, when she was done, the GoPro was missing. A friend of the student noticed that another UA student had made an Instagram post with the caption “low-key stole a GoPro,” and contact was made. The student in the post advised the owner that she had given the camera to another friend and provided the friend’s name. When the owner contacted that person, she also claimed she had transferred the camera over to another person and provided contact information as well. This person was a member of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity and was contacted by the responding UAPD officer. The officer arranged for a meeting between the two parties and the camera was returned. The owner was satisfied with the camera’s return and declined to press charges.

Collins accuses Sears of ‘backdoor impeachment’ BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
Graduate and Professional Student Council treasurer Jim Collins accused administrative vice president Jasmine Sears of attempting to prevent him from serving in the GPSC by introducing retroactive terms limits after a general council meeting Feb. 6. This follows an attempt last semester by Sears to impeach Collins. A special subcommittee, chaired by Sears, produced two recommendations on term limit amendments for the council to discuss and vote on. The first limits individuals to “a maximum of five elected terms in any combination of Representative and Executive Board positions.” The second proposal limits individuals to serving three terms on the executive board. The council debated and voted to approve both with a simple majority. It was unclear whether or not the motions gained enough votes to amend the elections code. Daniel Kasper, GPSC assembly chair, told the council he will look at the governing document and determine if the motions received the necessary support to take effect. A motion by Collins to not retroactively enforce these measures was tabled by a council vote and will be discussed at the next general council meeting. During a Dec. 6, 2016 council meeting, the council began a heated discussion on the possibility of implementing term limits. Ellen Stark, a GPSC representative for the College of Law, proposed a motion asking whether or not representatives supported term limits in any form. The motion passed with 15 in favor and 13 opposed. Two years ago, the GPSC voted down a proposal for term limits, according to Collins. He believes Sears, with the support of other GPSC members, is attempting to remove him from office following a failed impeachment because of his age. Collins is the longest serving member of GPSC in its history. Sears said she supported term limits two years ago in order to allow more students opportunities to obtain the experience which the GPSC provides. She plans to reach out to

diversity organizations on campus to fill GPSC’s current vacant seats. At the council meeting, Jude Udeozor, GPSC president, accused three members of the executive board of allowing personal conflicts to affect their ability to represent students. Udeozor strongly supported the second term limit recommendation in order to prevent future executive board members from experiencing frustration like he has faced or resigning from position like his predecessor. Collins has pointed to the fact almost no other graduate student governments impose term limits and to the string of unopposed and vacant seats within the GPSC when voicing his opposition to term limits. Danielle Blalock, now GPSC executive vice president, proposed a committee be formed to discuss the question further in order to align with Stark’s motion and not further occupy the council’s time.
Dueling proposals Sears scheduled a meeting of a Term Limits Committee on Jan. 30. The meeting was attended by Udeozor, Collins and Mariia Khorosheva, GPSC treasurer, as well as representatives invited by both Sears and Khorosheva. Neither of these proposals limits individuals from serving as an appointed GPSC representative, rather, they limit representatives from being elected. Outside of the committee, Khorosheva sent GPSC members a third proposal which limits an individual from serving in the same executive board position for more than three terms. “It appeared to me the only purpose of the meeting was to create a sham ‘recommendation’ for creating term limits, specifically to exclude me from the organization,” Collins said in an email to Chrissy Lieberman, UA associate dean of students. Khorosheva, the chair of the Governing Documents Committee, initially scheduled a Feb. 2 meeting
for the Term Limits Committee. “Sears unilaterally canceled the Thursday meeting,” Collins said to Lieberman. Collins believes she did so without any authority and conducted the meeting contrary to the spirit of Stark’s motion. Two members raised concerns over not being able to attend the rescheduled meeting because they did not receive adequate notice. During the meeting, Collins said Sears offered the committee only proposals which would exclude himself and Khorosheva from serving in GPSC. Proxy votes Following an attempt by Khorosheva to utilize proxy votes during the committee meeting, Udeozor said, “I wanted to officially warn you to refrain from sending misguided information to representatives and to stop soliciting proxy [votes] from representatives,” in an email to Khorosheva. “This email is an example of Udeozor’s irresponsible abuse
of authority which is part of a continuing pattern of harassment and bullying spanning almost two years,” Collins said. During the council meeting, Raul Iturralde Gonzalez, a GPSC representative, said he believed the GPSC should facilitate graduate students obtaining a degree and not remaining at the university indefinitely, especially for the sake of GPSC. Collins said he remains at the university not only to help serve fellow graduate students on GPSC but primarily to continue his non-degree seeking educational experience at the UA, a land grant college created to serve the community. Currently, Collins is exploring a claim of age discrimination, which he believes to be one basis for his attempted impeachment and these term limit discussions, as a result of comments made by Sears to such effect. GPSC will continue the discussion of term limits in the coming days.

It’s tough to have a heart of gold in Tucson BY NICHOLAS LEON @DailyWildcat
A
t this stage in life I can’t afford to be a charitable person consistently, but when I am, the question of why did I just give my hard earned cash away always pops into my head. Then, while on the cusp of falling asleep the thought of what exactly this person did with the money I gave them forces me awake for another hour. When giving charity, the fear of going through a sad, self-reflective journey makes me take the long way around just to avoid denying the request of a particular corner’s inhabitant while I’m on my daily route. Avoiding the homeless still leaves the hollow feeling of moral failure in my stomach every time I pass by. So instead of trying to bury the feelings in the already rim full trash-basket which is my guilty conscious, I decided to take some time to reflect on the dilemma of giving charity to the homeless. I suppose your view on the subject comes from your upbringing. My mother was always the one giving money to those in need while my father would give on rare occasions spread across many years. My parents provided me with two different outlooks. My mother was the one who would give out of compassion and religious beliefs while my father would usually contribute to the realists’ point of view on substance addiction and enablement. These two influences from my childhood have impacted me since. I’m my mother when I give and my father when I take the long way around. My parents also enrolled my siblings and I in catechism during our youth. Some of the lessons they teach there are to “give to those in need” or “what would Jesus do?” After years of pondering on what church and society teaches about “giving,” I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone gives in order to receive. I think giving charity to the homeless is always a

touchy subject for this reason. Life is full of decisions where one gives with the expectation to receive. Some give to prove they are good enough to get into heaven. Some give themselves in a relationship with the expectation of sexual or mental satisfaction. I’m giving all my money to an institutionalized college with the hopes of receiving a piece of paper I’m worthy of bringing in an above average income. The list goes on and on, but the main point to remember, is that people who give all the time are not always as selfless as they seem. Videos clutter the internet of people giving to those who are less fortunate. Those people don’t post their videos online to make you jealous of their

generosity, they post them so their like ratio on Facebook can soar through the roof in order to further convince themselves of their own good nature. Churches fill everyone’s heads with guaranteed spots in heaven if you dump money into their baskets and feed the homeless on Thanksgiving. Non-givers tend to be labeled as selfish. The real heroes out there are those you will never hear about. These individuals give not out of religious belief or with the expectation to receive something mentally or physically, but give because they see another human being in need. Helping a stranger without any expectations of receiving, as if they were like family, holds more value to it than
someone posting themselves giving charity online. The reason I avoid the person on the corner isn’t out of guilt, it’s because I’m receiving nothing from it. Realizing this, the process of understanding and changing oneself can begin. Some days I give charity to the corner inhabitant and some days I don’t. Either way I try not to regret my choice. Knowing my flaw and understanding why it’s there allows me to see past the awkward situation, to the person who just spent the night sleeping on a slab of sidewalk. Giving ultimately comes down to the individual and their reasoning behind the action. Charity is always good, just make sure you’re not giving to yourself.

Charm school 2.0: The science of love Before Valentine’s Day, read up on the brains behind the heart with these five tips for a dreamy holiday. BY HANNAH DAHL @Hannah_Dahl715
Some people seem to have Valentine’s Day down to a science. They send thoughtful love letters, chocolates, and even remember to post something swoon-worthy on social media before the day is over. Meanwhile, the rest of us struggle to plan a date night that doesn’t involve Netflix and takeout, or worse, we forget about the holiday all together. But is there really a science to the feelings we celebrate on February 14 every year? Katalin Gothard, UA professor of physiology, explained a few facts about the science behind common phrases associated with love and relationships. Gothard studies the mechanism of the human and nonhuman primate brain that supports emotional and social behavior. Hopefully these tips will help up your dating game this year. At any rate, you can impress your date with some of these interesting science facts if the conversation starts to lag. Love At first sight The phrase may sound cliché, but it turns out eye contact does play an essential role in establishing a connection with someone. “A prolonged, loving eye contact actually can induce in the body a state of arousal that is not the kind of arousal that you feel when you are uncertain or fearful or apprehensive about something, but the kind of arousal you feel when you are expecting something good to happen,” Gothard said. Gothard went on to explain this is due to the parental attention we received as a baby, especially from our mothers. Prolonged eye contact taps into the ‘learned intimacy’ we experienced as an infant and can cause feelings of excitement and comfort. A stomach full of butterflies We’ve all heard the term, but have you ever wondered what those ‘butterflies’ actually were?
The butterflies are actually a form of autonomic arousal, Gothard said. The autonomic nervous system activates reactions in our bodies without our control. It also regulates our internal organs, such as our heart, lungs, blood pressure, sweat and salivary glands. Gothard explained this can be the cause for other symptoms such as flushed skin, sweaty palms, and dry mouth. For example, trying to make a good impression or craving positive feedback from someone we care about triggers the autonomic nervous system, because the brain labels such situations as being of high importance, Gothard said. Once this happens, our bodies may feel and do things that are outside of our control. My heart skipped a beat There are many clichés about the most important muscle in our body. ‘My heart skipped a beat,’ ‘someone tugged at my heartstrings’, and ‘feeling heartsick’ are just a few examples. Our heart rate can be in or out of coordination with our breathing, Gothard said. The autonomic nervous system also plays a vital part in this; when we’re around someone we’re attracted to, the brain labels the situation as one of high importance, similar to an emergency. “The heart gets an extra jolt, and you feel it in your chest wall,” Gothard said. “We feel that the heart contracts more vigorously and fills up more with blood.” The right chemistry Skip the love potion and go for the oxytocin this Valentine’s Day. Oxytocin has been labeled as the ‘cuddle hormone’, but Gothard explains it’s more than just a love hormone. “It’s a hormone of social bonding,” Gothard said. “A secretion of the hormone is favored

by cuddling and holding and touching, but it can also manifest in how attentive and attuned you are to somebody, even if that person is shown on a video.” Gothard explained it doesn’t necessarily have to be bonding between humans, as other species secrete this hormone as well. When you cuddle a pet, the hormone levels increase in your brain, but they also increase in the brain of the pet, Gothard said. So yes, your dog or cat can be your valentine this year. In addition to aiding bonding,
high levels of oxytocin can lead to protectiveness and even aggression, as seen in the way mother bears protect their cubs, Gothard explained. “It [oxytocin] makes you very protective of people who you’re bonded to, but makes you less attuned and less interested in the outsiders who you’re not attuned to,” Gothard said. Science will only get you so far When it comes down to it, the best way to prepare for love and attraction is to build relationships
with everyone, not just our romantic interests, Gothard said. “The ability to feel compassion and empathy is basically the cornerstone of every good relationship, and that is not dependent on a hormone or a particular brain area, that is dependent on practice,” Gothard said. Hopefully these tips will help you out in the love department this year. If all else fails, just remember a little chocolate goes a long way—and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

LAST WEEK IN SCIENCE
Zika, penguin chow and prehistoric horses
BY MALIK SHELP @MalikShelp
If midterms have you down, take a break from studying and check out these four groundbreaking science stories from last week. Horse evolution doesn’t run as wild as we thought Analyzing how animals evolve and develop over time can tell us a lot about the environments they lived in, but sometime species develop so rapidly it is hard to develop a timeline. In the process of “adaptive radiation”, animals evolve from a single ancestor species into a myriad of new forms and adaptations. In horses for instance, researchers have long held that rapid evolutionary diversification was accompanied by major changes in teeth. New research appears to challenge that. Paleontologist Juan Cantalapiedra of the German Museum für Naturkunde natural history museum was able to reconstruct the evolutionary tree of horses, which dates back 18 million years and includes 138 unique species. Out of these 138 different species, only 7 still exist today. Cantalapiedra and his team found that the animals adhered to only three distinct body sizes and all had similar teeth. Their reasoning is straightforward, arguing that North American grasslands would have been rich in resources, enough so that major adaptations to gain a competitive advantage may not have been necessary. Malaria molecules entice mosquitoes While you may choose where to get a burger through the review site Yelp, mosquitoes appear to have a similar strategy. The malariacausing parasite Plasmodium falciparum contains a molecule known as HMBPP which, when released into the bloodstream, creates additional carbon dioxide. While investigating HMBPP, biologists Noushin Emami and Ingrid Faye from Stockholm University found that mosquitos feed on malaria-infected individuals at a higher rate, and also consume more blood on average. The researchers believe that the extra release of CO2 from the HMBPP molecule helps attract more mosquitoes, since the insects use carbon CO2 as a marker of potential food. African penguins face challenges hunting Young penguins in Africa rely on a few environmental hints to find food. Specifically, the birds are thought to be able to sense stress chemicals emitted by phytoplankton being eaten by sardines—the penguin’s food. However, ecologist Richard Sherley of the University of Exeter Environment and Sustainability Institute has found that human impacts such as climate change and overfishing have turned the once-helpful cue into what is called an ecological trap. Often seen on land but a first in the ocean, ecological traps draw animals in but do not offer the

implied food source. In this case, researchers believe that the phytoplankton have begun to emit stress signals based on environmental quality, not fish predation. Adult penguins have adapted to overcome this challenge by moving their hunting grounds. Zika falls back to primates causing concern A zoonotic disease is one that is transmitted from animals to humans. From rabies to influenza, these illnesses leave a legacy of suffering. Transmission from humans to animals is also a possibility. Led by Barbara Han, an ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in New York, a recent study focused on the possibility of the Zika virus transferring back to primates — which could make it near impossible to truly eradicate the virus. If the virus does “spillback” into primates they would act as a host for the virus, spreading the infection between other primates and humans. Black-striped capuchin monkeys and common marmosets have already been identified to carry Zika in Brazil. If these animals infect their wild populations as well, spillback will be complete.

Stravinsky lives through UA dance and music BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917
Igor Stravinsky is widely known as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, and one of his revolutionary ballets is coming to Tucson to honor the 100-year anniversary of its creation. The UA School of Dance and Fred Fox School of Music are collaborating to perform “Les Noces,” a story of marriage told through dance and music. “Les Noces” is a cantata, which is a piece of music written for vocals and instrumental accompaniment that contains a narrative. The work, which translates to “The Wedding,” tells the story of two lovers getting married and each leaving their families to start something new and beautiful. While Stravinsky originally wrote the piece as a ballet, it is rare for a performance to include dancers. While an orchestral performance of the piece can stand on its own, the work was meant to be listened to and watched. More than 50 music students and 26 dance students are working with three professors to put on this unique ballet. The project has been in the works for more than two years now, according to Bruce Chamberlain, associate director of the School of Music and the conductor of “Les Noces.” “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tucson to see a Stravinsky ballet danced with live music,” Chamberlain said. “Stravinsky wrote a series of four ballets that have changed our approach to music and music-making in a very significant way, and ‘Les Noces’ is the most unusual of all four of those.” Stravinsky was known for pushing the envelope with his music and challenging the norm with his compositions, but the strangeness of “Les Noces” can be seen even before the first note. The music is solely performed by a choral group, pianos and percussion instruments, without a stringed, woodwind or brass instrument in sight. Chamberlain said he has always been fascinated with Stravinsky’s work, and when he first came to the UA he was determined to collaborate with the School of Dance to bring one of Stravinksky’s compositions to life. “When I realized we have a world-class school of dance on our campus, I went to work trying to find the opportunity that we could perform this ballet cantata together,” he said. Elizabeth George-Fesch and Tamara Dyke-Compton, associate professors in the School of Dance, heard about Chamberlain’s mission and wanted to take part, so the two became cochoreographers for the performance. While both choreographers are versed in various styles of dance, Dyke-Compton specializes in modern and jazz, while GeorgeFesch focuses on ballet. When approaching “Les Noces,” they wanted to combine their specialties and take inspiration from traditional performances of the piece to craft something new that honored the original. “We talked a lot about concepts and themes we wanted to explore and we started to make some phrases together with that in mind,” Dyke-Compton said. “We made up little phrases on our own as well but we manipulated each other’s, so in the middle of a section Liz might have started choreographing it and then I finished it.” The collaboration between George-Fesch and Dyke-Compton gives the ballet’s choreography a seamless flow and exemplifies the different styles present at the School of Dance. The UA’s program focuses on ballet, modern and jazz styles, all three of which DykeCompton believes can be seen in this performance. “’Les Noces’ is more of a ballet but it does have touches of contemporary movement in it,” Dyke-Compton said. “I think it captures what the School of Dance has to offer.” “Les Noces” will be performed in the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre

MURALS
FROM PAGE 1
and the city—it’s a slow process,” Garcia said. “I don’t think there are enough murals that [people] can have an attraction to. You want to have art that people want to flock to, and there’s not enough exposure or education in murals.” Garcia painted the mural of Pac-12 basketball commentator Bill Walton riding a jackalope on the side of The Rialto Theatre, something Garcia describes as “very Tucson.” The downtown murals have helped spark tourism and brought more people to the city center, but downtown is just the first step. Awareness of the importance of art is an incessant issue in any community. Garcia said funding for the arts seems to always take a backseat. Education and awareness are necessary to build a strong art community, and local governments ultimately have the most direct power in supporting the arts with taxpayer money. So far, the city of Tucson has not shown much financial support for the program. “We have not been able to find one elected official who has gotten behind us,” Schwartz said. “The city of Tucson decided to compete with us, got a $50,000 grant from the [Tohono O’odham] nation and then eventually handed it over to the Mural Arts Program.” While there’s no doubt that Tucson has a buzzing art scene, it has yet to reach its current potential despite the money that’s here. Schwartz said that in mid to large American cities, the budget for museums of contemporary art tends to be around $2-3 million. The wealth is here, but the city’s demographics often prevent funding from flowing into the right avenues. Wealth disparity in Tucson is an issue within itself, but the more involved the community becomes with public art, the more funding and support TAB could receive. In order to get the community involved in supporting muralists, people need to see the vibrancy that completed murals bring to their neighborhoods. TMAP’s small-scale mural site, the Bronx Wash, is a great solution to this frustrating paradox. The narrow wash on Fourth Avenue and Linden Street sits in the center of the historically black neighborhood of Sugar Hill. Several mural sites have already been completed by a variety of artists, including a local graffiti tag artist that Schwartz helped convert to a muralist. Artists just starting out with murals paint their work on the walls of the wash before moving on to larger murals. The Bronx Wash is just a mile and a half from campus, and Schwartz encourages UA art students and artists to take advantage of this opportunity. Art education freshman Emma Bayne did just that, and after going to an event advertised through her UA email, she found a way to integrate her passion for art with serving the Tucson community. “If I hadn’t opened that email and gone to that event, I wouldn’t be doing this,” Bayne said. “Take every opportunity given to you by the [UA].” Bayne compares the texture of the Bronx Wash wall to that of an English muffin but enjoys the challenge it brings her as a painter.

THE TUCSON MURALS PROJECT commissioned eight murals with a $50,000 grant from the Tohono O’odham tribe to cover up graffiti in the Tucson Warehouse Arts District. This mural is done by artist Rock Cyfi Martinez on the Tucson Warehouse and Transfer Co. building downtown.
She said working with Schwartz and TMAP has taught her more than any UA class ever did. She said there’s so much untapped potential for new artists to learn here in Tucson that it’s essentially an entire city of unpainted canvas. “Stop saying you have talent and just start painting on walls,” Bayne said. “I want to see more people experiment with things and test the waters. Always question authority.” Of course, questioning authority comes with its own parameters. Bayne agrees with Schwartz that creating murals can chase away graffitists in a positive way. “If you paint a mural over graffiti, the graffiti artist will respect it and possibly want to learn how to make one themselves,” she said. Garcia said that murals could give many graffiti artists a sense of direction and serve as positive representations for their artistic voices. Funding still remains the biggest issue from all angles, but more artists involved with the program could lead to more fundraising efforts and, ultimately, more murals. Schwartz continues to try and lobby for support from the city of Tucson but said that the inefficiencies and questionable motives in our city government lie at the root of the problem. UA students interested in art can really make a difference by both joining TMAP and raising awareness about the program and the importance of public art. TMAP has meetings once a month downtown at Shot in the Dark Cafe, with the next meeting happening Feb. 15 at 6 p.m. TAB is also organizing an international art project in Ajo, Arizona, where artists from all over the Southwest, and many from other countries, will meet to paint murals, play music and camp for a

week in the town. United Way was going to offer TAB $20,000 for murals to be painted in Tucson but withdrew the money when it found out every mural has to be designed by independent artists, according to Schwartz. Though there have been some generous contributions from private parties and organizations, funding in Tucson arts programs is still an issue. Artists aren’t always revered as heroes of the community, but the starving artist who can
unite a community with the stroke of their brush can certainly make meaningful change, whether it be immediate or delayed. “My goal is to inspire the artists behind me,” Garcia said. “I want to see talent that’s better than me, and I want to influence raw talent because I know it’s here.” For more information on the Tucson Mural Arts Program, visit its website, tucsonmuralartsprogram.blogspot.com.

I heard I don’t need a Pap test every year. Really? It’s true. Pap tests are no longer recommended as part of every woman’s annual visit, based on recommendations by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, and the American Cancer Society. Cervical cancer screening should begin at age 21. Women ages 2129 should have a Pap test every 3 years. After age 30, women should have a Pap test and a DNA test for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) every 5 years. Depending on their medical history, some women may need to have a different (or more frequent) screening schedule. Women who have been vaccinated against HPV should still follow the screening recommendations for her age group. Why the change? The 2012 recommendations are based on studies that showed yearly Pap testing is not necessary to prevent a significant number of cancers. In the past, many women with abnormal pap tests incurred the expense (and anxiety) of unnecessary advanced testing.
HPV infection is very common, found in up to 80% of people. Most infections will clear up, without treatment, in 1-2 years. Young, healthy, non-smoking women’s immune systems are particularly good at clearing HPV – similar to the way viral cold symptoms resolve. But couldn’t waiting be dangerous and lead to cervical cancer? Not for the vast majority of young women. HPV takes years to develop into cancer. Most cases occur in women who didn’t follow up after an abnormal Pap test, never had a test, or who have gone long periods between tests. What if you do have an “abnormal” Pap test? Best advice: stay calm. “Abnormal” doesn’t mean cancer. It indicates a need for further testing to find out what is happening on the cervix. Mild cervical dysplasia is almost always caused by HPV and will often get better without any treatment at all. Of course, medical follow-up is important for any abnormal Pap.
Getting enough sleep each night improves ability to manage stress, boosts the immune system, sharpens concentration and memory for studying, and enhances overall physical and emotional health.
tips for better sleep • Minimize sleep disruptions with a dark, quiet bedroom (try ear plugs and a sleep mask) • Avoid caffeine and nicotine in the evening • Keep regular bedtime/waking hours • Keep up with schoolwork • Exercise regularly

Jones moves up all-time list in Washington BY MACKENZIE SWANEY @itsthewatergirl
It was a topsy-turvy weekend for Arizona women’s basketball during their Washington swing, splitting the road trip in dramatically different ways. On Friday the Wildcats lost 91-55 to host No. 10 Washington Friday night. By the end of the first half, the Huskies out-rebounded Arizona 2314. Washington went on 24-4 and 21-0 scoring runs, which put the host Huskies up 51-20 at halftime. Washington outscored Arizona 30-4 in the second quarter alone. It was also Arizona head coach Adia Barnes’ first visit to campus since leaving for Arizona. “It was interesting because I’d never been to the visitors locker room,” Barnes said. “A lot of love there, so many friends there … they gave Lex [Arizona Graduate Student manager and former Washington Husky Alexus Atchley] and I a standing ovation, so that was nice. The hardest thing for me was that we played so bad.”
Arizona senior LaBrittany Jones had 18 points, five rebounds and three assists in the game, but the leading scorer from Washington, Kelsey Plum, was unstoppable with 22 points, five rebounds and seven assists. Turnovers again proved to be an issue for Arizona. The Huskies scored 17 points off of Arizona’s 11 turnovers. The turnovers continue to haunt the team, however, against Washington State the Wildcats would be able to overcome the self-inflicting wounds in a win on the road, despite incurring 25 of them. The Arizona women’s basketball team beat host Washington State 70-62 Sunday, putting an end to their sevengame losing streak. The Wildcats were a little sloppy. Washington State scored 6 points off of four Arizona turnovers in the first three minutes of the game. The Wildcats somehow found a way to stay close despite the early deficit, and by the third quarter, Arizona was back in the game. Senior Malena Washington drained a 3-point shot to tie the game midway
through the third, helping Arizona outscore the Cougars 21-14. Senior LaBrittney Jones had 22 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in the game and was sound down the stretch in key moments. Jones’ performance Sunday resulted in several moves up the alltime lists in school history. Jones moved past Elizabeth Pickney for third in alltime blocks, passed up Kim Conway and Krista Warren to move to eighth in alltime rebounds and passed Natalie Jones for 14th on the all-time scoring list. “It’s just a great feeling to be a senior and be able to be in the record books late in the year and leaving my legacy here at Arizona,” Jones said. “It’s been tough coming here not having winning seasons, but I’ve grown so much as a player and an individual outside of basketball, and I think I’ve done that here at Arizona.” Malena Washington scored 13 of her 21 points in the first seven minutes of the third quarter, compared to the 11 Washington State had as a team in that same time. Washington, Jones and the 11
rebounds of senior forward Dezja James were the reason the Wildcats could overcome 25 team turnovers, the Achilles heel this season. Turnovers made this game much harder for Arizona; the Wildcats had more turnovers than points in the first quarter, which contributed to their large deficit. Washington State scored 25 points off of 25 turnovers in the game, compared to Arizona only scoring 15 points off of 16 turnovers. “In the first half they had like 20 points off of turnovers, I was like I can’t believe we’re not down by 30 at that point,” Barnes said. “We were still able to find other ways and that’s why I was so proud of this team.” Arizona moves to 12-13 on the season after securing their third Pac-12 win of the year, two more regular season wins than a year ago. The Wildcats will be back in McKale Center on Friday, Feb. 17, to take on their rival ASU and then travel to Tempe to face ASU on Sunday in a rare back-toback set of matchups for both programs. Tip-off for Friday is set for 7 p.m. MST.
Markkanen-Rabb fail to live up to the hype BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
The matchup between Ivan Rabb and Lauri Markkanen should’ve been one of the great head-to-head battles of the season, instead it was similar to an online dating profile gone horribly wrong. The beauty of the numbers each player came into the game with was marred by the unappealing play they displayed in front of the capacity crowd in McKale Center. However, the beauty inside this matchup was that the two did, in fact, guard one another on more than one occasion. It wasn’t ideal, but the two future NBA prospects did manage to guard each other effectively enough to at least put questions about their defensive abilities to rest, if there were any. Markkanen came out and tried to snap his now four-game ice-cold streak, but to no avail. He couldn’t find the rhythm and struggled throughout the night despite making a concerted effort to take the ball to the basket. Markkanen is now averaging 6.5 points and 4.75 rebounds per game in his last four outings—hardly lottery pick numbers. “He had a tough night, but he competed though,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “We have to find a way to help him out on offense ... Ivan Rabb was in the same situation; he couldn’t get going as well.” Ivan Rabb on the other hand was double-teamed seemingly all night long,
and when he wasn’t he was met with bothersome one-on-one defense by Markkanen and Chance Comanche. Rabb’s shooting numbers were colder than Markkanen’s, but make no mistake about it, the two young dynamo’s are clinging to the headboard in an icy cold ocean of futility hoping not to let go of a promising season. “[Rabb] is one of the best players in the country, so we focused a lot on blocking out this weekend,” said Arizona senior guard Kadeem Allen when speaking about not giving Rabb second chance opportunities. Markkanen finished the evening 1-for5, ending with just 6 points and four rebounds. Rabb was even worse, finishing with 4 points and three rebounds on 2-for7 shooting. Neither player could get it going, but both were engaged the entire way, especially on defense. The physical challenge throughout the game seemed to get the best of both superstars on the offensive end because of the amount of effort by both teams on the defensive end. “If you score on Cal you’re a really good player,” Miller said. “I have the utmost respect for their defense. They’re organized, they’re tough, they’re big and physical—it’s difficult to score on them, it really is.” For his work, Rabb finished with two blocks and affected countless Arizona shots with solid help defense. Markkanen,

who Miller was not pleased with after finishing with just two rebounds against Stanford, was far more active than the four rebounds he hauled in would indicate. Markkanen was in great position multiple times to double-team Rabb when he caught the ball on the low block, forcing Rabb to pass out of the double
team or turn the ball over, which he did three times. For both players moving forward, the key will be to stay with the process and trust better offensive days are ahead. You don’t exactly see the same two teams every game, which is a good thing for both players.

Wildcats sweep Hillenbrand Invitational BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
Arizona wrapped up the 21st Hillenbrand Invitational on Sunday with a 10-2 (six innings) victory over the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes. The Wildcats won all five games they played this weekend, moving their all-time record in the Hillenbrand Invitational to 107-3. Arizona 10, Tulsa 2 (six innings) Danielle O’Toole earned her third victory in as many games this season, and Katiyana Mauga added her fourth home run of the weekend in another dominant Wildcats performance. The Wildcats’ second consecutive run rule victory started off quick when Mo Mercado belted a three-run home run to center field in the bottom half of the first inning. They added runs in the second and third innings, putting Tulsa on the ropes, but the Hurricanes were able to get to O’Toole for a pair in the fifth, and the Wildcats ended things in the bottom half of the sixth inning. Of all the things that went right for the Wildcats this weekend, Arizona head coach Mike Candrea still pointed out that his team needs to learn how to keep their foot on the gas for seven innings. “I think we got to six runs and then I thought we kind of lost it for a couple of innings,” Candrea said about his offense in the fourth and fifth innings. “But we got it right back. We just need to keep getting better.”
THE ARIZONA SOFTBALL TEAM huddles together before taking on the No. 21 Baylor Bears at Hillenbrand Invitational on Saturday, Feb. 11. The Wildcats swept all five games of the season opening tournament improving their record in the event to 107-3 all-time.
Arizona 8, Fordham 1 The Wildcats’ season began on Thursday night in a manner almost nobody expected. With senior O’Toole in the circle, it was expected that she would shut down the Fordham Rams en route to an easy season opening victory. At least at the start,things were rocky for the Wildcats’ ace. The Rams kicked off 2017 inside of Hillenbrand Stadium with three consecutive singles off of O’Toole, taking an early 1-0 lead. Last year, there was no guarantee that the Wildcats’ lineup would have been able to respond. This season, the Wildcats’ lineup is deeper, more balanced and every batter in the order is a threat for opposing pitchers. They responded with three runs of their own in the bottom of the first inning and would proceed to win the game 8-1. Senior Katiyana Mauga belted her first home run of the season in the game, and took the weekend to get a head start on her home run chase. Mauga hit four home runs throughout the weekend, putting her at 70 for her career. She is only 16 away from tying Stacie Chamber for the UA record (87) and 24 away from catching Oklahoma’s Lauren Chamberlain atop the all-time NCAA record books.
Arizona 6, Cal State Northridge 0 The newest Wildcats made a big impact in Arizona’s game against Cal State Northridge on Friday, proving that this year’s Arizona team can create runs from anywhere in the lineup. Freshman Jessie Harper came to the plate with two outs and no one on, but smacked a line drive up the middle for a single. Fellow freshman Reyna Carranco drove in the game’s first run with a double off the top of the wall that scored Harper from first base. It was Carranco’s first career hit as a Wildcat. Arizona needed the likes of Harper and Carranco to come through because they struggled throughout the afternoon against Northridge’s Taylor Troost. Troost was able to limit the Wildcats offense throughout the afternoon, but in order to shutdown the Wildcats for a complete game, a starting pitcher will likely have to go the distance themselves. The addition of the freshman instantly caused differences in the Wildcats’ lineup from last season. Candrea operates his team on the notion that anyone can play at anytime, and that playing time is earned through producing. “The bottom line is we are performance-based,” Candrea said. “That’s kind of the way athletics are at
PEARL DIXON/THE DAILY WILDCAT
this level. By no means is what you saw this weekend going to be the same as it might be at the end of the year. I think that’s the sign of a good team that has some depth.” Harper added her first career homerun in the fifth, and Palomino added a twoRBI triple as the Wildcats proved to be too much for the Matadors. Taylor McQuillin began 2017 in striking fashion. The sophomore struck out a career-high 17 batters against the Matadors, going the distance in a complete game shutout. Arizona 4, Baylor 0 In the weekend’s marquee matchup, Arizona outlasted Baylor in another pitcher’s duel. O’ Toole was back in the circle for the Wildcats, and she continued her fast start in 2017. She tossed a complete game shutout, allowing five hits and striking out seven. The game remained scoreless until the fourth inning when Mauga hit her second home run of the season, a solo shot that gave the Wildcats’ a one-run lead. It was all O’Toole would need. The senior avoided any trouble throughout the entire game, and was able to get out of a jam in the sixth inning. With two outs and runners on second
and third, O’Toole faced Baylor’s Ari Hawkins who was able to hit a sharp ground ball in between third base and shortstop. Mauga was able to snare it out after the first hop and throw it across the diamond for a huge third out, keeping the Bears off the board. “That play, I honestly did not see the ball,” Mauga said. “I just stuck my glove out and reacted to the ball. I was really happy because it saved some runs.” No matter how dominant the Wildcat pitchers are inside the circle, they know how important it is to have a defense behind them. “I’m a ground ball pitcher; I don’t strike people out,” O’Toole said. “So I’m going to need the defense and I know they’re always there. Kati flashed the leather and I was like ‘OK, you got it, thank you’.” The Wildcats added three more in the bottom half of the inning wrapping up their biggest victory of the weekend. Arizona 11, Northwestern 3 (five innings) The Wildcats duo of O’Toole and McQuillin was able to string together 22 consecutive scoreless innings inside

the circle to begin the season, so when Northwestern was able to break the streak and chase McQuillin from the game in the third inning, it was natural to question if the rotation went any deeper than its top two aces. Enter Nancy Bowling. The senior entered the game with the bases loaded and no one out, but she struck out two in a row before getting a pop out to end the inning. It was yet another display of Arizona’s depth, and they finished the game on freshman Alyssa Palomino’s double that plated two. The No. 10-ranked Wildcats surely will not be moving down this week in the national polls, but with most teams in the top-10 taking care of business, its safe to assume they will be at No. 10 next week when they host the Wildcat Invitational. That’s just fine by Candrea. “I like the depth, I like the young kids that we’ve got and I think some of our seniors stepped up [this weekend] as well,” Candrea said. “Right now we’re right where we need to be.” Arizona begins the Wildcat Invitational on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 5 p.m. MST when they take on the Drake Bulldogs.
