UA's 2017 commencement speaker: Former NASA admin and U.S. marine BY ELIZABETH QUINLAN @Eliz_quinlan
Former National Aeronautics and Space Administrations administrator Maj. Gen. Charles Frank Bolden Jr. will be the UA’s commencement speaker this May. According to an email from UA President Ann Weaver Hart, aside from the contributions that he has made to the OSIRIS-REx launch in September, Bolden has worked as a naval aviator and spent 34 years with the U.S. Marine Corps. As an innovative leader, Bolden contributed to NASA’s development into a new age of space exploration, which included “decisions to retire the Space Shuttle, enhance public-private partnerships in launches and develop the tools to put humans on Mars,” according to Hart’s email. Surprisingly, Bolden initially never conceived of working at NASA as a goal, and after high school he had no plans to become an astronaut. “There were two things I knew I wouldn’t do: I didn’t want to join the Marine Corps, and I was never going to fly,” Bolden said. After graduating high school, Bolden began defying both notions by receiving an appointment with the U.S. Naval Academy, which he had first seen on TV. Afterward, he became commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps and mentored over 200 officers in his company. Bolden said he saw Challenger astronaut Ronald McNair as a role model in his life and a deciding factor in why he chose to pursue a career with NASA. According to Bolden, they both grew up in the ‘50s and ‘60s with only a four-year age gap between them. The NASA space shuttle astronaut encouraged Bolden to complete flight training school to become a naval aviator, which he did in 1970. When they talked and McNair saw that he was interested, he asked if Bolden would do it. Bolden said even when he said no McNair picked up a pen and paper and made him sign up for an interview. Flying, which Bolden had initially seen as an inherently dangerous and crazy idea, became one of his largest passions.

March is Women’s History Month, bringing many events on campus, locally and nationally recognizing the struggle women have faced. Aurora Sartori, graduate assistant at UA’s Women’s Resource Center and Ph.D. student in language, reading and culture, said in a release on the WRC website that too often, women are left out of historical narratives. “In the ‘official history’ we’re taught in school, women’s roles and experiences, especially those of women of color, are too often relegated to the margins, if they are mentioned at all,” Sartori wrote. “A footnote, a parenthetical reference, perhaps, but they are never the central narrative.” Sartori wrote that this month is a time to shift perspective, “de-center the contributions of those who have been doled out a disproportionate amount of space in the annals of history—mostly heterosexual white men” and focus instead on the contributions and experiences of those who have been so consistently excluded. California started the push for Women’s History Month in 1978, when the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women initiated a “Women’s History Week.” The movement spread, and by 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as National Women’s History Week. By 1986, 14 states had declared March

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH FROM PAGE 2
as Women’s History Month, and in 1987, Congress made March National Women’s History Month permanently. This year, the WRC is showcasing “forgotten and unacknowledged contributions of women” on their Facebook page for the month of March. So far, they have spotlighted: • Ada Lovelace, considered the first computer programmer • Female athletes • Lucy Gonzalez Parsons, founder of Industrial Workers of the World, a labor organizer, a radical socialist and an anarchist • Graciela Gil Olivarez, who served in President Carter’s administration as Director of Community Services, making her the highest-ranking Mexican American woman in his administration Campus events include talks and poetry readings. Friday, March 3 was ‘The 51 Year Diary of Irish Immigrant ‘Mim’ Walsh,’ a talk by diary scholar professor Judy Temple on the life of Mary Eileen “Mim” Walsh at the Arizona History Museum. Saturday, March 4 was ‘‘Poeh-TREE’ Poetry Reading: Emily Dickinson’s ‘Gorgeous Nothings’ at the Campus Arboretum, put on by the UA Poetry Center. Upcoming campus events are a lecture, "Queer Decolonial Femme Perspectives in the Américas" by Macarena Gómez-Barris at the Center for Creative Photography on Thursday,
March 30, at 6:30 p.m. There's also the monthly Censored Series on March 28 at 6:30 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, which will be a discussion on abortion and reproductive rights, and a body positivity fair on the UA Mall on March 22 starting at 9:30 a.m. Sartori wrote this month is all about acknowledging and giving space to different experiences. “Within the category of ‘women’ there is a glorious myriad of diversity,” Sartori said. “We hope that you’ll join us in the powerfully feminist act of recognizing the contributions of women who have been left out of history, reminding us that their achievements— winning a Nobel prize, writing a groundbreaking novel, governing a nation, raising a family, leading a social movement—are not dependent upon one’s gender identity.” Off-campus local events include an exhibit by the Arizona Historical Society Library and Archives at the Arizona History Museum on archived Arizona womens’ papers and a luncheon by the UA Tech Park to celebrate the Tech Park’s women on Wednesday, March 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Arizona Center for Innovation, Suite 1270, 9040 S. Rita Road. The luncheon will include a panel discussion by Christina Orosco from IBM, Mary Darling from Darling Geomatics, Holly Griffin from N.P. Photonics and Molly Gilbert from Tech Parks Arizona, moderated by Kate

The presentation runs from March 1 to April 20 at the Beth Shalom Temple Center, 1751 N. Rio Mayo, Green Valley, and is free to view. Another long-term event is a showcase of films by female directors at Exploded View Microcinema, at 197 E. Toole Ave., Tucson, every Wednesday in March starting at 7:30 p.m. Nationally, USA Today is highlighting one historical woman per day on their website. The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum are also “encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history” with events. A lecture held March 2 called "The Glass Ceiling, Broken or Cracked?” featured a bipartisan group of former congresswomen who talked about their career paths, challenges they encountered along the way and the issues they still need to deal with today. March 8 featured another lecture, “Soundwaves of Feminism: The Women’s Music Movement,” where Bonnie Morris discussed the grassroots feminist and lesbian music recordings and concerts of the 1970s, '80s and '90s. International Women’s Day was March 8 this year and featured many marches to showcase “A Day Without a Woman,” showing how

UA PRESIDENT ANN WEAVER Hart addresses the Arizona Board of Regents at the UA Student Union on Nov. 19, 2015. Hart has proposed a 1 percent tuition increase, student service fee increases and a new athletic fee for incoming students and current students not under the university’s cost guarantee program to the board.
Hart recommends tuition, fee increases A new $100 athletic fee amid proposed changes, but a majority of current UA students will not see increases due to cost freeze guarantee BY ANDREW PAXTON @Andrew_AzP
As student loan default rates continue to soar, incoming UA freshmen and current students not under the cost freeze guarantee offered by the university can expect to pay hundreds more in tuition and fees compared to last year. According to a recent memo from UA President Ann Weaver Hart to the Arizona Board of Regents, the university is proposing a 1 percent tuition increase for both resident and non-resident students, in addition to the new and increased student fees. A new fee, a $100 charge for undergrads and $50 for graduate students is proposed "to support facilities and ongoing operations and programmatic services for athletics,” according to the memo. Graduate students will be able to opt out of the plan, which provides free admission to UA sporting events, excluding men’s basketball. Undergrads will not have an opt-out option and will also not have football tickets covered. The health and recreation fee paid by students will increase nearly 50
percent, from $300 to $425, while the IT/library fee will increase $55, to $535. The student services fee will more than double, from $70 to $150. Combined with the increase in tuition, new students enrolling for the 2017-18 school year can expect to pay $458 more than this year’s rates for residents and $690 more for non-residents, according to the university. Current resident undergraduate students who are not in the guarantee program will see an increase of $452 from last year, with a $658 increase for non-residents. Resident grad students will experience a $414 increase, while non-residents will see a $612 jump. Grad students will now be eligible for the tuition rate guarantee for the first time, which was one goal of student leaders who took part in the discussions with university officials. “Student priorities included expanding predictability for students by including graduate students in a guarantee for mandatory fees and, when setting the guaranteed tuition and fees for incoming students, keeping the tuition increase as low as possible to counter the impact of increases to

POLICE BEAT BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
Nugget of marijuana A University of Arizona Police Department officer stopped a red Pontiac for driving without headlights on Feb. 24. The officer identified the driver and passenger by their Arizona drivers licenses and immediately caught the scent of fresh marijuana coming from the car and questioned both about the smell. The passenger admitted to the officer he had marijuana on him. The officer interviewed both and, while searching the car, found a marijuana grinder in the center console. He collected the Ziploc bag with marijuana. The passenger stood up while the office spoke to him. He had a “nugget of marijuana” stuck to his pants. He claimed possession of both the grinder and marijuana. The officer also asked about the marijuana found on his pants, which he claimed ownership of as well. The passenger was arrested cited and released. The female driver was not responsible for the marijuana or paraphernalia and was released. “Check my Twitter” A UAPD officer responded to the police station in reference to harassment on March 1. He met with the reporting party who identified herself with an Arizona drivers license. She explained to the officer she had a three-year relationship with a male she identified through Facetime. She explained they both met though Twitter when he responded to a message she had posted. As time went on, her relationship with the male became unstable and problematic. When she tried to end the relationship, he would threaten to ruin her career by posting photos of her nude on social media and threatened to commit suicide. She showed the officer messages he had sent saying “Check my Twitter,” and when she would, he had posted sensitive pictures of her but removed them after about 20 minutes. She did not wish to press charges but wanted him to stop all contact and stop posting pictures of her on social media. The officer provided her a case number, advised her not to contact the male and requested her to send copies of the text messages.

CHARLES BOLDEN SPEAKS AT the NASA Centennial Challenges Recognition Ceremony in 2010.
COMMENCEMENT FROM PAGE 2
“Once I began flying, I became convinced that this was something challenging and enjoyable,” he said. Throughout his career, Bolden has loved everything, especially his time within the Marine Corps. “I spent three to four years being around marines and functioned as the one percent of the American public defending the nation,” Bolden said. Within NASA, Bolden worked as administrator during the Obama administration and facilitated evolution within NASA’s programs, creating a broad portfolio that included “fostering a journey to Mars, advancing aviation with new aeronautic advances and taking care of our planet and people.” As NASA’s administrator, Bolden worked with the Executive Office of the President, press and Congress to convince people in the White House and Congress to fund programs. Human spaceflight is entering a new era utilizing the airspace industry and academia to create “cleaner, quieter and more efficient spaceflight,” according to Bolden. Bolden said that he expects five new planes to be released in the next 10 years that will introduce science to a new realm of space flight. Bolden hopes one plane will change the way supersonic flight is restricted on airplanes by using acoustic energy to surpass the speed of sound with the only after-effect being a mild rumble. A plane with that much power could fly large distances in a drastically short amount of time, such as from Singapore to New York in less than five hours. Another plane may use solar energy to power a configured electric engine. With a new wide-body concept, Bolden said that, although it may look like a roll of paper towels, the plane will cut down on consumption, noise and pollution by 50 to 60 percent. In coordination with the UA, NASA launched
OSIRIS-REx to collect a sample of the asteroid Bennu and return it to Earth, which Bolden described as “awesome.” Bolden said it is “mind-boggling that a satellite flying for months can reach a target with such precision.” He said he appreciates the committed people who worked on this mission and thinks this story, like a piece of science fiction, is making advancements in science possible. OSIRIS-REx is expected to collect samples of the asteroid’s surface and return to Earth in the year 2023, landing somewhere in the Utah desert. The next big collaboration between the UA and NASA will come when they create a highwave gamma ray spectrometer, one of the many project that the UA has played a key role in facilitating with NASA. The UA has had a long relationship with NASA. Bolden said when he was asked to be this year’s speaker, he accepted immediately. “[President Hart] became a champion of NASA,” Bolden said, primarily because of her efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. Bolden said he was impressed by Hart and her staff and is proud the UA is a partner of NASA because of its positive affiliations and impact. “I could not have asked [to work with] more energetic people,” Bolden said regarding the OSIRIS-REx launch. Although Bolden does not have a permanent speech planned out yet, he knows that caring for other people is of critical importance to him. Bolden learned from a young age that taking care of others is the key to success. “If you can’t take care of other people, take care of yourself,” he said, and expand your horizons to learn and gain new opportunities. Parents are a large part of this goal to become a more diverse and exceptional student body, as they inspire belief that “we can do what we do” and give students the opportunity to do whatever they want. Bolden is proud to see that the UA is an expanding, innovative university that encourages diversity within its students. He said he looks forward to delivering his commencement speech at this year's ceremony on Friday, May 12.

mandatory fees,” said the memo. The announced plan for increases comes just days after the non-profit Consumer Federation of America research organization announced that “as of the end of 2016, 42.4 million Americans owed $1.3 trillion in federal student loans. "These figures exclude borrowing through private student loans, credit cards and home equity loans to finance the growing costs of college,” said the organization's report. According to the report, the average amount owed per federal student loan borrower is more than $30,000. More than 1 million borrowers defaulted in 2016. All of the UA fee increases are to support the university’s “Bear Down Student Services District,” a multi-faceted student success hub that stretches across the Main Library, Bear Down Gym, the Science-Engineering Library and the Integrated Learning Center. “The District integrates academics, support services, research, engagement, recreation, wellness and a host of other factors that influence student success,” according to the board. “In building this unique national model for student success and cross-campus partnership, the District is not just an inventive approach to redevelop and re-imagine the campus core; it also points the way forward for university libraries as those institutions redefine their roles on campuses across the country.” If the new student fees are passed, this would translate to a more than
$10 million increase in funding for the District annually after four years, based on 2015 enrollment figures. Students will also be providing millions each year for the university’s athletic facilities, many of which have housed and/or been named after famous professionals from across the sporting spectrum. The increases will not affect the approximately 92 percent of current UA students enrolled in the tuition guarantee plan. “We are proud that this plan promises zero tuition and fees increases to current students enrolled in the tuition guarantee for the duration of their four years and that it also extends that 0-percent increase guarantee in both tuition and fees to all incoming resident and non-resident undergraduate students at the new rate,” Hart wrote. The regents have set a public meeting for Tuesday, March 28, from 5-7 p.m. in the Education building, Room 102, to discuss tuition and fee rates from all three state universities. Public comment will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The university presidents will then present their proposals during a tuition workshop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 30. The regents are then expected to set tuition and fees on April 6. To submit a comment to the regents, e-mail the board at tuition@azregents. edu, by mail at 2020 N. Central Ave., Suite 230, Phoenix, AZ 85004, or by fax at (602)229-2555.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
TIPS
FOR
(2016 Health & Wellness Survey, n=3,113)
What is the average amount of calories you can burn during sex?
Reliable data on these types of measures is scarce as you might imagine, but one study estimated that a 175-pound individual would burn around 150-200 calories during 30-45 minutes of intercourse. To put this in perspective, that’s roughly half the calories that same person might expend during 30-45 minutes of bowling. In short, healthy sex has many
benefits, but burning calories isn’t necessarily at the top of the list. In addition to fostering intimacy, research shows that healthy sex can have a positive effect on stress, sleep, the immune system and self esteem. Here at the UA, there is no shortage of other ways to stay active outside the bedroom. See the list below for some other general examples of energy expenditure. These values are calculated based on an 150-pound individual at a leisurely pace for one hour (if you weigh more you burn more, if you weigh less you burn less): • • • • • • • • •
Frisbee............ 216 calories Yoga................ 252 calories Biking ............ 264 calories Walking .......... 324 calories Ping Pong ...... 444 calories Basketball ...... 570 calories Swimming ...... 636 calories Running.......... 667 calories Racquetball.... 726 calories

The short answer to your question is “it depends.” Just as with any type of physical activity, duration, intensity and body weight are all variables that will make a difference in how many calories are expended during sex. But if you are thinking about skipping your daily bike commute or regular workout at the Rec Center in favor of more “sexercise,” keep in mind that the non-coital forms of physical activity tend to burn more calories per unit of time.

Trump’s wall will impact border biodiversity BY CLAUDIA DRACE @claudiadrace
I
f a wall is put up along the U.S.Mexico border it would have extremely detrimental impacts on the migration patterns of animals. There is already an 18-foot-tall steel fence that spans 650 miles from California to Texas, and 50 other miles of fencing along the border. The U.S.Mexico border is 1,900 miles long, spanning California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Trump’s proposed wall would span 1,000 miles across the border, with the remainder being protected by natural obstacles. Animals, however, do not recognize borders, and building a wall would undoubtedly affect animal migration and mating patterns. Mountain ranges are referred to as sky islands because each mountain ecosystem represents a diverse “island” of life with vastly different ecosystems residing in the lowlands between the mountains. The mountain range that spans across the American Southwest and northwestern Mexico is called the Madrean Sky Islands. This area is known for plant and animal biodiversity. There is fencing that spans across the Madrean Sky Islands, but Trump plans to build a wall that is much larger and more secure, making it even harder for animals to migrate. The Madrean Sky Islands are comprised of 57 mountains that are littered with pine and oak trees and 7,000 different species of plants and animals. The spaces between the mountains are made up of desert or grasslands that isolate the Madrean Sky Island ecosystem. To put the biodiversity of the Madrean Sky Islands into perspective, on the United States side of the Madrean Sky Islands, most of the land is a part of the Coronado National Forest.

The wall would have extremely negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity of the southern United States and Northern Mexico. The concept of a wall to prevent the entrance of illegal immigrants from entering the U.S. is theoretical at best because if people are motivated enough to make it here, they will find their way around a wall. Animals do not have these same luxuries. The only thing the wall may do is prevent the migration of animals, which would decrease biodiversity in the United states.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Grad fees: Regents, students need common ground
BY JUDE UDEOZ0R GPSC PRESIDENT
Dear Graduate and Professional Students, After several weeks of long and in-depth discussions with student leaders from ASUA, UA South and GPSC, the University’s Senior Leadership Team has proposed tuition and fee increases for the 2017-2018 academic year pending ABOR’s final approval. In line with our promise of accountable leadership to you, we wanted to share the proposed increases with you. While the outcome of these discussions may not be what everyone would have hoped for, we believe it was in the best interest of students and our University’s future. Unfortunately, there is no single solution to fee and tuition increases at this time as a result of low state funding for higher education in Arizona. If the UA is to remain respected among its peers and continue to attract and provide outstanding services to its students, we must be willing to find a common ground. We recently conducted a survey to get a better sense of graduate students’ perspective on mandatory fees. We also made every effort to ensure that every proposed increase is modest, justified, and has direct benefits for graduate students. There will be a 1% increase in tuition to account for inflation. This will be one of the lowest increase in more than 10 years. Mandatory fees will increase by $301.16 per year for graduate students. Our efforts led to a $110 decrease to the originally proposed fees. Part of this fee increase, $99 total, will go towards the proposed new Bear Down Student Success District project. The Bear Down Student Success District will reimagine Bear Down Gym, the Main Library, the Science-Engineering Library and the Integrated Learning Center into a unified hub that employs innovative spaces to deliver and blend the UA’s world-class academics, research, student support, and success services seamlessly into the student experience. The District will serve as a foundation for the university’s approach to student achievement, and as an engine for achieving recruitment and retention goals by putting students on the path to collaborate, innovate and graduate from day one (1,2). Here is a breakdown of the proposed fee increases as they apply to graduate students: Health and Recreation Fee—$125 Increase: $40 of this fee increase will be used for debt service for new rec facility north of Speedway, $18 will be used for debt service in relation to the Success District, $29 will be used to fund the increase in operational expenses of campus recreation facilities, programs and services, while $63 will help provide additional counselors and expand Campus Health programs and services. In response to the proposed increase, we asked for the removal of the current Health & Rec summer and winter fees for students. Students enrolled during the previous spring semester will no longer

be required to pay the summer fee, which had previously been as high as $50. Information Technology/Library Fee —$55 Increase: $27 of this proposed increase is expected to be used for debt service in relation to the Success District. The additional funds will enable the office of the CIO to provide improvements to a variety of technological services, such as providing highdensity wireless across campus, and allow the library to expand technology and online services. Student Service Fee—$70 Increase: A $70 increase was proposed to the student services fees which currently funds several student programs, including but not limited to, the UA Think Tank, Student Legal Services, Scholarship Universe and some GPSC services such as Travel Grants. $54 of the proposed increase will be used for the Bear Down Student Success District, while the remaining $16 will help meet the growing needs for outstanding student initiatives which have been rejected or partially funded due to insufficient funding. New $50 Athletic Fee—OPT-OUT: UA Athletics has introduced a new Athletics Fee that, pending ABOR approval, will be instituted in Fall 2017. The proposed fee is a campus-supported solution to assist Intercollegiate Athletics’ fund urgent infrastructure needs. Our fee survey showed
that about 20 percent of graduate students are willing to pay an athletic fee between $1 - $50. However, a majority, 77 percent of respondents, were opposed to any athletics fee. Consequently, we advocated for a $50 Athletic fee with an OPTOUT option for graduate students in order to accommodate both opinions voiced in the survey. This will allow students opposed to the fee to be refunded. The fee will come with significant benefits for graduate students, including access to EVERY home sporting events aside from Men’s basketball as well as a 50 percent discount on season tickets to all sporting events for immediate family members. New Graduate Students Fee Guarantee: As a response to the proposed fee increases, GPSC successfully advocated for a four-year fee freeze/guarantee for all graduate and professional students. Hence, current graduate students will not pay the proposed fee increases, including the proposed Athletic fees, and any increases that occur within the next four years. While incoming students will be assessed the new fee rates, they will also have a 4-year fee guarantee starting from the year of their enrollment. We have also asked for increases in compensation to account for the increase in fees. We welcome you to attend two events related to tuition and fees setting: The March 28 Tuition Hearing in College of Education building, Room 102 from 5-7p.m. and the ABOR meeting on April 6 and 7 at the University of Arizona.

Softball sweeps Beavers to open Pac-12 play The Wildcats won their first conference series after getting big performances from the usual suspects and continue to prove they’ve overcome their late game woes BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
After taking down the defending national champions on Tuesday, Arizona softball rolled into their first Pac-12 Conference series against the Oregon State Beavers. The Wildcats swept the Beavers and improved to 29-1 (3-0 Pac-12). Last season, the Wildcats struggled to come up with big hits late in games, as well as committing uncharacteristic errors in big moments. Whether it was giving up four unearned runs in a 4-3 loss to then-No. 1 Alabama, being shutdown at home by BYU’s McKenna Bull or being outmatched by longtime rival UCLA, the Wildcats were missing that “it” factor last season. Fast forward to this past Tuesday and forget about all that. After a walk-off win against Oklahoma, the Wildcats had overcome their close game woes. After opening Pac-12 play on the road at in-state rival ASU last season, the Wildcats had an easier start to 2017. The Beavers entered the series after being shutout at home by No. 7 Minnesota and were 15-8 overall. After rain postponed the first game on Friday, the Wildcats wasted no time wrapping up the series all in a day. The Wildcats found themselves in a tight one against the Beavers, but for the second straight time, they came through in the clutch. Down 2-1 in the sixth inning, senior Katiyana Mauga crushed a one-out home run to centerfield to knot things up. Freshman Alyssa Palomino singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh, and Mauga followed that up with her ninth home run of the season, a three-run shot that gave Arizona a 6-2 lead. Senior Danielle O’Toole picked up her 14th win of the season and, outside of one mistake, she was her usual self. The Beavers were able to take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of

the fourth when Tucson native Sammi Noland took O’Toole deep for a two-run homer. O’Toole settled down after the home run, allowing just one hit over the final three innings. After five innings of play in game two, the scoreboard was almost the exact same as it was in game one, but this time the Wildcats were ahead 2-1. Sophomore Taylor McQuillin (8-0) wouldn’t end up needing any insurance runs, but she sure got them. The Wildcats scored five runs over the final two innings to wrap up their first Pac-12 series victory. It wasn’t the big bats who got it done, either. Mauga, Palomino, Mandie Perez and Dejah
Mulipola combined to go 0-11, but the Wildcats’ lineup depth was once again a huge factor. Freshmen Jessie Harper and Reyna Carranco each had two hits and two RBIs. Senior Mo Mercado went 2-4 and increased her average to a team-high .444. With 14 more strikeouts, McQuillin finds herself comfortably within the top 10 in the nation for strikeouts per nine innings. She came into the game averaging 10.7 strikeouts per game, and if it were not for an injury keeping her out of a few starts during the Mary Nutter Classic, she would likely find herself in the top 10 in strikeouts overall. Game three of the series looked like it would be another easy
Wildcats’ win after O’Toole took a no-hitter in to the fifth inning, but it turned out to be a nail-biter after the Beavers tied things up in the bottom of the seventh. O’Toole recorder her 100th strikeout of the season in the first inning, her first of the day, and she had a career-high 10 strikeouts during the afternoon. Her no-hitter was broken up in the fifth by a bunt single and Arizona head coach Mike Candrea opted to enter McQuillin. McQuillin cruised through the rest of the fifth and sixth innings, but after allowing a couple base runners in the seventh. Natalie Hampton came up to the plate. Hampton hit a game-tying
three-run homer, and the Wildcats’ streak of good play late in games looked like it was coming to a halt. But after making a gamesaving catch after the home run in the seventh, Ashleigh Hughes drove in Jessie Harper on a ground out to shortstop. It put the Wildcats ahead 5-4, Mandie Perez’s fourth home run in six games stretched the lead out to 7-4 and McQuillin locked it down in the eighth. Up next for Arizona is their home opening Pac-12 series against the No. 6 Washington Huskies. The three-game series begins on Friday, March 24, at 5 p.m. MST. All three games will be aired on Pac-12 Networks.

Miller just two wins away from getting over tournament hump BY SAUL BOOKAMN @Saul_Bookman
SALT LAKE CITY—Head coach Sean Miller has seen this movie before; this time he hopes it comes with a different ending for Arizona men’s basketball. In each of Arizona’s past three trips to the Sweet 16, the Wildcats have experienced a crushing fate. You wouldn’t wish the outcomes Arizona has experienced in each of the eliminating games on your worst enemy. From Ohio State to a double helping of Wisconsin, the boys in red and blue have had their fair share of heartbreak. Perhaps this time around will finally be different. It sure is lining up to be. The Wildcats will not have a foe that slows it down and methodically picks you apart like Wisconsin; they overcame that hurdle Saturday by defeating Saint Mary’s College, a team that ranks near the bottom in possessions per game, slowing it down past the point of paint drying. The next obstacle is a familiar opposition, especially to Miller. The Wildcats will be taking on Xavier in yet another Sweet 16 matchup between the two teams, the last coming in Los Angeles in 2015 resulting
in a 68-60 win for Arizona. This time around, the game sizes up to be just as close and definitely just as important. The name of the game is to survive and advance, it doesn’t matter how you do it, just that you do it. If the Wildcats can navigate through the next two games, it will place Miller into the Final Four for the first time in his coaching career, shedding the moniker of best coach to never make the Final Four. “I’m very excited. ... We’re just happy we’re in the Sweet 16, and now we just have to get ready for the next opponent: Xavier,” said freshman Lauri Markkanen. In the coming days, the question will be asked of how important this is to Miller and the team, but this trip to San Jose feels like it has more on the line. It is arguably the more favorable route to a Final Four that anyone could’ve asked for, and is important to the legacy of not only Miller but the Arizona brand as a whole. “It is an amazing feeling,” said freshman Rawle Alkins. “With everything we have been through as a team, from us not having a full team of being healthy and having tragedies, I am honored to be a part of this team.” It has been 16 years since the Wildcats have made it to college basketball’s ultimate stage. Usually programs that go that long between stints fade away, but Arizona has found itself in the national spotlight time and time again. This time they need to take advantage of it. Perhaps this is the team to get Miller over the hump, we shall see.

Trier bounces back, sparks another Arizona victory BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
SALT LAKE CITY—Allonzo Trier may have had his worst half of this season, and at the worst possible time. The Wildcats’ leading scorer was held scoreless in the first half against Saint Mary’s College on Saturday night. The sophomore went 0-4 in the first half, and it was a big reason the Wildcats struggled offensively in the first. After winning the Most Outstanding Player award in the Pac-12 Tournament, Trier struggled from the field against North Dakota on Thursday and it carried over to Saturday. Trier scored 18 points on 4-for-11 shooting against North Dakota but went 9-for-10 from the free throw line. He couldn’t manage to get to the stripe one time in the first half against the Gaels. With Trier struggling, Rawle Alkins has been someone the Wildcats can count on to make big plays. But he fractured the index finger on his shooting hand in the first half and the Wildcats seemed lost on the offensive end. “I think midway through the first half, especially when Rawle got injured, we lost our confidence for a little bit; we really did,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “I think Allonzo, he wanted to play well so bad that today, and this really isn’t his makeup, but today he didn’t have the confidence that he

usually has, and a couple of things went bad.” But as any elite scorer does, Trier just kept shooting his shot in the second half. He stepped up when the Wildcats needed him the most, dropping 14 points in the
second half and went 5-for-6 from the free throw line. He has become Arizona’s go-to free throw shooter in the clutch, and he hit three free throws in the final two minutes to help seal Arizona’s spot in the Sweet Sixteen.
“No game is going to be easy; it’s not going to be exactly how you want it,” Trier said “If we stick to doing the things that we’re supposed to do and let that carry over, we believe that more times than not we’ll come out on top.” Trier said from an outside perspective, watching someone go 0-4 makes people assume “he’s forcing, he’s off his game,” but that it happens to anybody. “I know that if my number is called in the second half I have to be able to answer the bell,” Trier said. Answer the bell he did. Trier scored all four of his second-half field goals on jumpers and created plays in the paint for himself. Trier, along with the entire Wildcats team, was able to get to the paint in the second half, and it helped get the Gaels into foul trouble. “Whether it be Rawle [Alkins], Kadeem [Allen], Allonzo—I think those guys really got fouled and delivered on those drives,” Miller said. As Arizona looks forward to No. 11seed Xavier next Thursday, Trier will be as important as ever. Their streak of hot offensive play in the second half continued tonight as a direct result of Trier’s big half. In Trier’s mind, Arizona just needs to keep battling to move on in the tournament. “We stick to doing what we do and we grind it out. That’s what makes us a great team, a great program,” Trier said.
Beach volleyball struggles against nation’s elite BY NIKKI BAIM @nikkibaim22
Not everyone went to Cabo over spring break; the Arizona beach volleyball spent their week off in Honolulu, Hawaii, where they went 2-3 against some of the nation’s top competition. No. 7 Arizona eased into the Outrigger Hawaii Invitational on Friday morning with a 3-2 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Wildcats’ top pair of Madison and McKenna Witt helped with a 2116, 21-17 victory to start off a great weekend for themselves, in which the duo went 4-1 overall and dropped only two sets. Following the battle with the Cornhuskers, the Wildcats found themselves in another competitive match with No. 4 Florida State. Finding themselves on the wrong side of St. Patrick’s Day luck this time, Arizona couldn’t contain the Seminoles and lost 3-2. This season, Arizona has not performed well in decisive third sets. At home, the Witts forced a
third set against Hawaii to only fall short in a 15-11 loss. They had the same misfortune against ASU in both matchups this season. The inability to finish strong hurt the Wildcats again in Hawaii. Against Florida State, Arizona’s No. 4 pair of Hailey Devlin and Sam Manley couldn’t close out the third set and lost, which gave the Seminoles the match. After going 1-1 on Friday, the Wildcats faced No. 1 USC and No. 5 Hawaii in a tough back-to-back matchup. USC was unforgiving against Arizona. Four of Arizona’s pairs failed to score more than 15 points against the Trojans. Manley and Devlin were the only pair to push past the Trojans in two sets. The Trojans took the match 4-1. Four matches into the weekend may have fatigued any team, but the Wildcats came out ready for a fight against Hawaii. Two weeks ago, Hawaii swept Arizona in Tucson and gave the Wildcats a reminiscent feeling of when the Rainbow Warriors knocked them out of the NCAA Tournament last year.
With a chance to even up this year’s series, Arizona’s Halli Amaro and Brooke Burling competed through extra points with Hawaii’s Norene Iosia and Hannah Zalopany to earn the first win of the match. In the top matchup of the Witts and Hawaii’s Morgan Martin and Mikayla Tucker, the Witts got their revenge. They blew past the Rainbow Warriors, only giving Hawaii 6 points in the first set and fifteen in the second. Only one more pair needed to outlast the Rainbow Warriors, but the rest of the Wildcats couldn’t handle the Hawaiian courts and lost. With a “Groundhog’s Day”-type feeling, the Wildcats took their third consecutive loss to Hawaii 3-2. The Wildcats concluded the tournament with a 5-0 sweep of Utah to make the 12-hour flight back to Tucson a little more bearable. From the beaches of Hawaii, Arizona heads to the Texas plains for the TCU Tournament next week. The Wildcats play the hosts, TCU, and will be tested against ranked competition for the sixth time this season when they take on No. 8 LSU.

Canine cognition center preps to open The Arizona Canine Cognition Center plans to study the minds of dogs and how dogs interact with humans. The full launch is almost here BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
UA’s Arizona Canine Cognition Center (ACCC), located in the Emil W. Haury building, is almost ready to open its doors. Evan MacLean, assistant professor of anthropology and lead researcher at the ACCC, said the center is currently running a pilot study and is not yet fully open, though he hopes it will be soon. “I’d say maybe a month from now,” MacLean said. “There are a few things that are beyond our control. Our
website and database—as soon as that’s done then we’ll be going.” So far, the website and database have been the only obstacles. The two wall-mounted cameras, the tripod camera and the multiple televisions used to monitor the experiments have all worked perfectly, MacLean said. Right now, there are three students working in the lab, which is a “pretty small crew,” according to MacLean, but after the center is fully operational he hopes to add more. “It all depends on how many students are in the
lab and what’s going on, but eventually there will be multiple studies going on,” MacLean said. “There’s lots of things on the radar.” Daniel Horschler, a first-year student in the biological anthropology Ph.D. program, is in charge of the pilot program. He got interested in canine cognition while an undergrad at Yale University. “I was studying human memory and human cognition, and I got curious to know if other animals think in the same way humans do,” Horschler said. “I did an internship at Yale’s Canine Cognition Center and

Conference supports young latino engineers The Advancement of Latinos in Engineering and the Young Latina Forum offered high schoolers mentorship, challenges to prep them for college and beyond BY HANNAH DAHL @hannah_dahl715
Thanks to the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), high school students are getting a leg up in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. On Thursday, March 2, 200 Latino high school students from around Tucson traveled to the UA to participate in an event titled The Advancement of Latinos in Engineering and the Young Latina Forum (ALE/YLF)—a day filled with workshops, engineering challenges and keynote speakers. “For Latinos and women as a whole, we’d like there to be a movement to know that they have the option to be an engineer, that it’s not just a field available to the majority of people but also to the minorities,” said Michael Sveiven, vice president of Advancement of Latinos in Engineering for SHPE and a senior in biomedical and electrical and computer engineering. ALE/YLF has been reaching out to underprivileged communities and minority students for the last 10 years. The program gives students an idea of what life at a university is like, as well as providing them with valuable opportunities to interact with other engineering students and clubs, Sveiven said. “A lot of these students come from underprivileged communities, so sometimes they don’t even think college is a possibility,” said Karina Palomares, SHPE’s vice president of the Young Latina Forum and a junior in chemical engineering. UA alum James Valenzuela is a living example of the benefits that come from receiving an education in one of the STEM fields. “Being an engineer pulled me out of poverty,” said Valenzuela, now a senior industrial engineer at Raytheon and one of the opening speakers for the event.

STUDENTS WORK ON A hands-on engineering project. The recent conference at the UA offered practical and mentorship opportunities to Latino high schoolers interested in pursuing engineering.
“I grew up in a poor part of town, both of my parents were immigrant workers and there were no engineers in my family.” He went on to add that becoming an engineer prepared him for life and helped him to grow professionally and overcome many challenges. Growing up, Palomares never thought she would become an engineer, she said. Coming from an underprivileged high school in Southern Arizona, she was one of only a few to pursue a degree in a field as challenging as engineering. “I think the role of Latinas in an engineering field is just to create and innovate and become something bigger than what they are expected to be, at
home or culturally or by society,” Palomares said. A key goal of ALE/YLF was to show the students that an education in STEM is accessible to them as long as they are creative, resourceful and willing to work hard, Sveiven said. “One of the barriers for students is the bias and misconception people hold that Latinos may not have the academic ability to succeed in a career such as engineering,” said Guadalupe Waitherwerch, the Hispanic-Serving Institutions STEM program manager at Pima Community College and longtime contributor to the event. Waitherwerch went on to add that students need to see
first-hand other people who look like them that have been successful in STEM fields and can serve as role models. Being a member of a club like the SHPE will also help students find community and support among their peers, Sveiven said. “There’s a lot of things you gain when you put the effort into being a part of a club and when you find someone that really fosters that sense of community, because not all clubs do,” Palomares said. Part of the day included a club fair before the opening ceremony, where students met with various STEM clubs and university admissions. Following the opening ceremony, students spent the majority of the day
in engineering challenge workshops. These workshops were focused around a problem: using engineering principles to develop a cure for a sickness affecting an island. First, students explored chemical engineering by creating a “nanoparticle cure,” Sveiven explained. Next, they built a mechanical car to transport the cure, complete with a motor and solar-powered batteries. Then, using civil engineering skills, they constructed a bridge out of Popsicle sticks to carry the car and the cure to the island. Once the car arrived on the island, the students designed an

and do the same thing.” The pilot study tests both the working memory of dogs and dog-human cooperation. Horschler tests working memory by seeing how long a dog can remember where a treat is after it’s hidden under one of several cups. “We’re trying to see if they’ll go right for it or if they’ll forget,” Horschler said. For dog-human cooperation, Horschler is testing if dogs understand cooperation the same way humans do, using a wooden box with a plexiglass door. The dog has to learn to slide the door open with their nose. Then a step is added: A human has to lift another piece of plexiglass for the dog to reach the door. “The human will eventually stop lifting it right away to see if the dog will attempt to reengage the human,” Horschler said. “We’re trying to see if reengagement is unique to humans.” The pilot has been going well so far, Horschler said, though sometimes it takes a while for dogs to warm up to the space. “They’re still a little wary sometimes of interacting with some new random person, and it kind of looks like the vet’s office, kind of sterile,” Horschler said. “We’ll definitely end up changing some things but overall it’s going well. We’ve been getting good data and today’s session was really good.” That session was with sharpei-pitbull mix Alice, brought in by first-semester nursing student Rachel Colley. Colley heard about the pilot study from another UA student who volunteers at the same recuse, In the Arms of Angels. “I like learning new things, and I bring my children over to the other study, so I thought why not?” Colley said. “I’ll keep doing these experiments as often as they ask me to come in.” The likelihood of dogs being invited back is high, according to Horschler. “Hopefully we can have them come back for multiple sessions, and then as we get more people in the lab and they run their own experiments, we’ll be able to invite people back for new stuff,” Horschler said. This study will likely last until the end of the 2017 fall semester. “I won’t be here over the summer, so we’ll probably finish it in the fall semester of next year if we can get enough participants,” Horschler said. “The goal is as quickly as possible, but [it will take] probably another semester at least.” Horschler himself will be at the UA for at least another four years, as his Ph.D. program is five years long. He plans to remain at the ACCC and

would like to run a study on theory of mind, which is related to the way animals think about the minds of others. “Humans have this ability to understand that other humans have thoughts and emotions and feelings that are distinct from their own, and that’s a big topic of study in non-human primates,” Horschler said. “There’s some new evidence for this in non-human primates, but evidence for this in species other than humans is pretty limited.” Horschler said that’s tested with false belief tasks, which children are able to pass around 4 or 5 years of age. “Dogs will watch me watching some food get hidden, then my view will be blocked, so I don’t know what’s going on, then the food moves somewhere else,” Horschler said. “We try to test whether or not they have an expectation that I’m going to look in the place that I saw it or if they think I’m going to magically know where it went.” MacLean said the ACCC could see upwards of seven dogs a day when it is running at full capacity. “It ebbs and flows a little bit,” MacLean said. “If we have a study going, a busy day, we might see six or seven dogs; there might be some days where we see no dogs. It’s little spurts of activity.” Until the website is up, the ACCC will continue to run just the pilot program.

Both Sveiven and Palomares acknowledge the support of their respective committees and generous sponsors in launching the event. “Our sponsors do give us substantial financial support, and it’s worth noting that it’s not just us that cares about this, like the surrounding professional community, these engineering companies give quite large sums because they know that it’s important and because they appreciate the hard work we put in and the relationships they get out of this,” Sveiven said. As a former member of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Valenzuela is impressed by the efforts of the current chapter. “They have continued the mission of giving back and being good stewards of their profession and everything else they do, so I’m very proud of them,” he said.

Nrich market has fresh take on student meals BY KATHLEEN KUNZ @kathkunz
Nrich Urban Market just opened its doors before spring break at the Student Union Memorial Center. The Pinkberry replacement boasts a new design and claims a focus on providing healthier options for students and staff at the UA. Nrich’s new menu features fresh-pressed juices, natural ground-nut butters, infused waters, brewed teas and botanicals, frozen yogurt, healthy to-go snacks and a supply of fresh seasonal produce. The market also displays vertical gardens set up throughout the space that showcase the unique methods used to grow wholesome fruits and vegetables. The Daily Wildcat caught up with Christine Carlson, registered dietitian and assistant director of nutrition at the Arizona Student Unions, to find out more about the inspiration behind opening Nrich Urban Market.
“Nrich is actually our nutrition philosophy; I had developed the philosophy and it lived for about six months or so, and it really wasn’t getting anywhere,” Carlson said. “We decided to make Nrich Urban Market, which would be an area that would highlight that nutrition philosophy.” This nutrition philosophy is based on the value of including in one’s diet whole grains to increase fiber and nutrients, incorporating healthy monounsaturated and omega-3 fats and seasoning food with fresh spices and herbs in order to cut down on the excessive use of salt during preparation. Nrich works to provide locallysourced, plant-based meals and create a truly transparent menu so students can see exactly where their food is coming from. The food students will see at Nrich is exclusively created by the Student Unions’ executive chef and registered dietitian with the purpose of continuing to emphasize the significance of

The movies of ‘90s kids turn 20 years old KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat
With all the hits produced, 1997 was a great year to spend in the movie theaters. The list notable films we know and love includes “Titanic,” “Liar Liar,” “Fools Rush In” and “Con Air,” among plenty of other classics. Read on for a throwback to the late 1990s, when the Spice Girls and “Seinfeld” were all the rage. “Titanic” Set in 1996, the late Bill Paxton plays treasure hunter Brock Lovett, who is searching the wreckage of the Titanic for a necklace bearing a rare diamond, the Heart of the Ocean. This leads him to Rose Dawson Calvert, a Titanic survivor, and she launches into her epic tale of love and tragedy aboard the doomed vessel. The audience is then taken back into 1912, when Rose was 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater, played by Kate Winslet. Rose boards the ill-fated ship along with her mother and fiancé, Cal Hockley; Rose is stuck in the engagement due to her family’s financial situation and is gravely unhappy with her life. This leads to her fateful meeting with Jack Dawson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who saves her from an attempted suicide by jumping from the ship’s stern. Poor, lower-class Jack is frowned upon by Rose’s upper-class mother and fiancé, and though she initially rejects his advances, Rose comes to realize she cares for Jack and forms a kinship with him, which eventually evolves into love.
Be prepared to cry as you watch Rose and Jack fall in love, struggle with their differences and ultimately experience the terror, distress and tragedy that everyone aboard the Titanic suffered. You can watch this film by renting it on Amazon. “Liar Liar” Liar, liar, pants on fire! In this screwball comedy, Jim Carrey plays Fletcher Reede, a busy lawyer who loves his son Max but has a bad habit of breaking promises and compulsively lying to him. When Fletcher breaks a promise to attend Max’s birthday party, a heartbroken Max wishes that, for just one day, his father will be unable to lie. The wish comes true, much to the horror of Fletcher, who is trying to work his way up on the corporate level and win a very important case for his firm, which requires lying. Hilarity ensues as Fletcher tries to win the case, keep his ex-wife and son from moving to Boston and make it through the day with his sanity intact. Fletcher suffers the misfortunes of blurting out painful truths to strangers and co-workers and even inadvertently participates in a “roast” involving his superiors, but he ultimately finds that the truth may not be such a bad thing after all. You can view this film via Netflix DVD or by renting or buying it on Amazon. “Con Air” This is one flight you don’t want to be on. Nicolas Cage stars as Cameron Poe, a man who was
sentenced for murder while defending his wife. Eight years later, Poe is paroled and catches a ride back home on a transport prison aircraft. Unfortunately, dangerous criminal Cyrus the Virus, played by John Malkovich, is also aboard. Cyrus and his band of fellow baddies cause anarchy and take control of the plane; Poe pretends to cooperate while secretly working against them. In this action, Poe winds up working with U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin, played by John Cusack, who aids Poe and makes efforts to end Cyrus’s tyrannical reign of the plane. Poe juggles this, alongside with hiding his real identity as a former soldier and current parolee, while just trying to make it home to his wife and the daughter he has never met. This movie is perfect for action-adventure lovers or fans of Cage. Whatever the case, “Con Air” will certainly not con you out of your time. You can watch this film via Netflix DVD or by renting or buying it on Amazon. “Fools Rush In” Never was there a more beautiful and entertaining love story between a man and woman of entirely different worlds. Alex Whitman, played by Matthew Perry, is an architect from New York sent to Las Vegas, where he meets creative photographer Isabel Fuentes, played by Salma Hayek. Alex and Isabel spend one passionate night

incorporating good nutrition decisions into daily consideration. “It’s all registered dietitian-approved food,” Carlson said. “We try and make sure that it’s very clean-label, nutrient-rich and also tastes good. We really wanted to make sure of that, because if it doesn’t taste good, it doesn’t matter how good for you it is.” Another key feature of the market is its accommodation of those with food allergies, especially celiac disease and its
provisions of a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options. This is important for many students and faculty members who may have trouble finding food on campus that fully meets their dietary needs. Since Nrich is a tangible application of the Nrich nutrition philosophy. The restaurant makes a point of promoting the Student Unions’ upcoming nutritional classes and workshops that help students and faculty members reach their health goals. Many of these resources are provided through Campus Recreation and can be

Soon, he finds old feelings resurfacing after encountering his high school sweetheart, played by Minnie Driver, while simultaneously evading another killer and two NSA agents pursuing him, having been tipped off regarding the contract hit Blank was ordered to undertake. The running joke of this film happens to be Blank’s old classmates continually asking him what his profession is, to which he honestly answers, only to find that everyone believes he’s kidding. You can stream this film with Netflix or rent or buy it on Amazon. If you’re going for a themed binge-watching experience, 1997 would be a great year. Other notable 1997 films include, but are not limited to, “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” “George of the Jungle,” “Men in Black,” “Air Force One,” “As Good as It Gets,” “Dante’s Peak,” “Hercules” and “Good Will Hunting.”
found on their website at rec.arizona.edu. “I think the feedback has been really great,” Carlson said. “Students, faculty and staff are very excited about the options that we have; so I can see [Nrich] continuing to thrive and being seen in other areas as well. We try to highlight the healthier options, but I think people don’t really see it unless it’s in their face.” Nrich has been advertised around campus in the months leading up to its grand opening, which has increased the response from community members who want to find a healthy place on campus
where they can consistently rely on the availability of healthy foods. “Our team was the one that created the look of [Nrich], and it was approved through Christine,” said Neysha Aguilar, marketing and communications manager for the Student Unions. “We’re really pushing for businesses to be aware of this awesome gem that opened up, and social media has been doing a great job at that.” For more information about the nutritional advancements being made by Nrich and other programs at the UA, visit nutrition.union.arizona.edu.

The new slackers on campus BY ZOE CROWDUS @DailyWildcat
If you’re walking on campus near the corner of University Boulevard and Park Avenue, you’ll likely find a few shirtless men balancing on a slack rope strung between two trees. These men are students with a variety of backgrounds who all share one thing in common: Their love of slacklining. Slacklining is an activity where you balance and walk across a length of rope fixed above the ground and stretched just enough to leave a slack in the middle. Students Harry Kleiman, 21, and Brad LoStracco, 19, discovered slacklining a little over a month ago and have been hooked ever since. Kleiman is a foreign exchange student from London who previously studied geography at the University of Bristol. He has been at the UA since the fall semester. When he saw people slacklining outside of the psychology building, he was immediately intrigued and ordered a slackline off Amazon. LoStracco, a freshman pre-nursing major, had heard of slacklining before meeting Kleiman but had never tried it until Kleiman bought his own. Although the two are relatively new to the activity, they are already able to walk the full length of the line and are working on mastering new tricks. LoStracco admits that his first time slacklining was a challenge. “But after five days of doing it consecutively, I was able to walk the whole length,” he said. Now he is working on turning around while walking. Kleiman said that his favorite trick to practice is raising the slack line and then stepping on with one foot to immediately turn around and walk backwards. He recalls that it took him about a week until he was able to walk the length of the rope.
“Once you do that, it is such a steep learning curve and you can pick it up so much easier,” he said. On average, the two slackline five to seven days a week for a few hours each day. The majority of their slacklining is done in the park on campus, but they each have goals for heights and locations they want to slackline in the future. After seeing videos of people slacklining at extreme heights in Joshua Tree National Park and Yosemite National Park, Kleiman set a goal to go high lining, but noted that he needs a bit of practice before then. He was able to accomplish one of his goals earlier this month when he and LoStracco took their slackline to Tanque Verde Falls. “We went to Tanque Verde Falls, took the slack line with us and did it over the water there, which was really cool,” Kleiman said. “That was my first goal. The two aim to slackline over an even larger body of water.” “So, we can do it and then if we fall we will just fall into the water,” LoStracco said. When slacklining on campus, the men receive a variety of reactions from people walking by. “You always see people looking over and as soon as we fall off they look away,” LoStracco said. “Some people walk up to us and want to try it and other people just want to watch.” Kleiman said one of the best parts about slacklining is the social aspect and the opportunity to constantly meet people who either already slackline or want to learn. “It’s quite cool,” Kleiman said. “Whenever we do it, more or less every time, someone comes up and says, ‘Can I have a go?’ or some guy said, ‘Oh I slackline as well’ and he brought his slackline so there were three of us slacklining next to each other.” LoStracco said one of his favorite parts about slacklining is unwinding from the day. “It’s really relaxing and to be able to go outside for an hour or hour and a half and just forget about everything from the school day,” he said. Kleiman also said he loves the chance to get outside and enjoy slacklining. “It gets you outside, is a distraction from work and is something different,” he said. “I haven’t picked anything new up recently, and it’s quite cool because it’s really hard but once you get something it’s really rewarding.”
