ZonaZoo funding increases from athletics fee ZonaZoo will receive $125,000 per year, up from $85,000 per year, based on the new athletics fee for incoming students to better handle game day operations BY JESSICA SURIANO @suriano_jessica
The athletics department will increase the amount of money it transfers to ZonaZoo from $85,000 to $125,000 due to the increased funding from the athletics fee scheduled to hit incoming students’ bursar’s accounts in the fall. Despite the $100 athletics fee for incoming undergraduate students and an opt-out $50 fee for incoming graduate students, the prices for ZonaZoo and Student Wildcat Club membership will not change, according to Senior Associate Athletic Director Erika Barnes. Current undergraduate and graduate students who choose not to pay the new fee will still have to purchase a ZonaZoo membership for access to sporting events. Associated Students for the University of Arizona President Michael Finnegan said the athletics department expressed they did not believe they had the financial means to lower the cost of ZonaZoo memberships. The money the athletics department transfers back to ZonaZoo does not include additional funding ZonaZoo receives from the department for expenses like the T-shirts for students, according to Barnes. She said T-shirts alone costs the athletics department roughly an additional $25,000 a year given to ZonaZoo. Finnegan said it seems a majority of the revenue from the fee will fund capital improvements in the athletics department. Barnes expressed a similar sentiment and said the fee revenue will be, in part, funding the department’s facilities. “Some institutions feel like it’s right to charge students money and build a hot tub in their locker rooms for their
athletes, etc.,” Finnegan said. “That’s not going to fly here at the UA, and if there’s any sign of, that this fee’s gone–out of the water.” Barnes said UA was previously one of two Pac-12 schools without a campuswide athletics fee, with the University of Washington being the only one remaining. “We have 20 sports, and we want to stay competitive from a program infrastructure and facilities standpoint for all 20 programs,” Barnes said. Barnes said the department is already seeing the benefits of the fee in action; a private donor recently committed to give $5 million after hearing about the passing of the athletics fee. A donation such as this one will allow the department to jump-start seeing the benefits of the fee in action, rather than having to wait until the fee revenue is fully integrated to see real change, according to Barnes. She said athletics administration, university administration and student input will all contribute to decisions of how the fee revenue will be spent, but the department is still in the planning stage of how to incorporate all of these interests into the decision-making process. Finnegan said he made it very clear to new Athletic Director Dave Heeke that students will be watching how their money is spent “very, very closely.” Student leadership was very involved in the discussion about this fee, according to both Barnes and Finnegan. Finnegan said student government’s main goal in the discussion about the fee was reducing it to its lowest possible price and making it optional for graduate students. “I was pretty clear on that this fee is to go toward the immediate necessary

repairs that are vital to our athletics facilities,” Finnegan said. “I think it was a Band-Aid that we could get, and we needed to just solve the issue now. This issue has been going on for far too long.” Barnes said the department hasn’t made any decisions on changing ZonaZoo’s coveted position at the 50-yard line at football games at this point. She said the department is always looking for new opportunities to improve attendance in the ZonaZoo and to have students remain at the games. Finnegan said he doesn’t anticipate a change in student attendance at football or basketball games because of the fee. Game Day Operations Director for
the ZonaZoo Crew Berny Aguirre said the crew allocates its budget from the athletics department every year to different sectors: game day operations, community outreach, programming, marketing, media and communications and branding. The decisions on how to split up the budget into each of these sectors are completely at the discretion of crew members, according to Aguirre. “Our student-athletes really appreciate the support from the ZonaZoo,” Barnes said. “It’s great that the stands are full, but when it’s your peers—your other college friends—I know that’s really important for them and they really enjoy that.”

BEAR DOWN GYM ON the south side of the UA Mall. The expansion will include a three-story facility.
Bear Down Gym renovates to include 3-story addition BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
The UA is moving forward with a plan to expand Bear Down Gym by combining donations and university funds with an increase in student fees that was approved by the Arizona Board of Regents earlier this semester. Kasey Urquidez, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs advancement and dean of undergraduate admissions, said a three-story building will be added to the back, where there is currently an old swimming pool. The building will house different student and academic success services. “It’s such an exciting thing because we have the services available now, but they’re kind of more spread out,” Urquidez said. “We’re figuring out how to make sure we have things more closely aligned that need to be more closely aligned because it’s going to serve the students better.” Bear Down Gym was repurposed when Old Main was being renovated because more space for offices and Think Tank was needed. “We needed to find some space as things were getting reshuffled on campus,” Urquidez said. “Bear Down Gym, which had always been a gym, got changed into cubical city. It was never intended to stay that way.” The expansion is one part of a larger project, involving the UA Main Library and ScienceEngineering Libraries. A hub will be created to provide greater student support and an atmosphere of success, according to Urquidez. “We really, really want to make sure we’re providing that atmosphere for students,” Urquidez said. “As we were thinking about that, the librarians were also really thinking about bringing their libraries up to the 21st century and beyond, making them more usable for students.” The project is being called the Bear Down Success District for now, though that is not the
official name, Urquidez said. The Main Library and Science-Engineering Libraries will be joined underground, with a connection to Bear Down Gym. “That underground piece will be an awesome place for students to get food, and there will be some retail; there will be a place to recharge your phones, your bodies,” Urquidez said. “You’ll be able to come up the stairs and be in the gym. There could be a yoga class going on, there could be some meditation. Then you walk through to the back, to the south part of the building, and be in the new three-story building.” Urquidez said plans have not yet been finalized, as they were waiting to make sure the fee increases would pass. Now that the regents approved the fees for the two-year project, planning will begin. “Now we’re ready to go,” Urquidez said. “We have a lot of meetings coming up. We’re going to be working with the students to make sure we’re doing everything the right way and also start to do more formal kinds of planning with architects and campus planners.” Student focus groups are currently being developed, according to Urquidez, and there are other discussions and surveys underway to make sure the plans meet the needs of the student population. Although the start and end dates of the expansion are not yet set, Urquidez said students will still be able to access all the services provided in Bear Down Gym during construction. “We don’t want to have any break in services,” Urquidez said. “We don’t want to have a time where students can’t get academic support. We’ll make sure there’s no break in service, no matter what.” The intent of the project as a whole, according to Urquidez, is to improve student success based on the connections between wellness, success and academic support in a way students can easily find and utilize.

Migrant Quilt Project raises border awareness To raise awareness of immigrants dying as they cross the U.S.-Mexico border, the Migrant Quilt Project creates quilts from the clothing left behind by immigrants BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
After learning about migrants’ struggles, Jody Ipsen said she felt compelled to find a way for the community to honor and never forget those who have died crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The Migrant Quilt Project was her response. Volunteers with the project clean up sites throughout the desert along the U.S.-Mexico border where they find the possessions migrants have left behind while crossing. They take the clothes and create quilts embroidered with the names of the migrants to which they once belonged. When they can’t find the name, they simply embroider “desconocido”—”unknown”. “It really spoke to me on a visceral level, like, ‘oh my God humanity is out there in the desert dying without food, water or medical care,’” Ipsen said. When Ipsen was young, her mother would cross the border to take Ipsen and her brother to get braces in Nogales. “We had this back-and-forth relationship with Mexico, and I grew up with a lot of Latinos and Hispanics and befriended them and went to quinceañeras,” Ipsen said. Despite living in Tucson her entire life, Ipsen only started to hear of people dying in the desert while migrating to the U.S. in 2005. The project stemmed from the non-profit organization Los Desconocidos, which Ipsen
started in 2007. Ipsen’s mission is to remember the thousands of migrants who have succumbed to the dangers of the desert since 2000. She said she does this as a way to bring people’s attention to U.S. policies that lead many migrants to their deaths. Sonia Arellano, a UA doctorate student studying rhetoric, composition and teaching English, is one of the volunteers with the Migrant Quilt Project. Her involvement with the project started when her dissertation director told her about the quilt showing at Tucson Meet Yourself in 2014. Initially, Arellano only wanted to see the quilts. She thought to study other quilt projects but ended up just focusing on the work of the migrant-quilt making. Many of the materials they recover are torn and stained with blood. Some migrants even leave children’s clothing behind. “I wasn’t expecting to make a quilt myself,” Arellano said. “I couldn’t understand how a material product could affect U.S. immigration policy. I wasn’t expecting that to show the deeper, real issues that show our immigration policy.” Between 1990 and 2012, the majority of identified undocumented immigrants—82 percent—were of Mexican origin. Guatemalan and Salvadoran immigrants composed 7 percent of undocumented immigrants, and 2 percent were Hondurans, according to a 2013 Binational
THE MIGRANT QUILT PROJECT embroiders into their quilts with the names of migrants who died in the desert of the Arizona-Mexico border. The quilts are made of the migrants’ discarded clothing, and for all the dead who remain unidentified.

Migration Institute report at the UA. The report suggests that the undocumented migrant death rate has increased in Southern Arizona, possibly doubling between 2009 and 2011. While Arellano doesn’t think one quilt alone will make a difference, she said the display of the collection of quilts will. “Just like individuals may not make a huge impact, but collectively they do,” she said. She said there’s a huge lack of awareness with the local population about the reality of the border. She’s always shocked when she encounters people who visit or are from Tucson who are unfamiliar with migrant issues. Quilts serve as a material way to learn and interact with the narratives of migrant issues and their lives. Traditionally, quilting has reflected social justice issues dating back to slavery. “It was just by happenstance that I wanted to do something with these clothes in the desert and it occurred to me to make quilts from the desert,” Ipsen said. “Historically they play a significant role in social justice issues as a medium for speaking to the larger
issues on hand.” Arellano’s mother was a seamstress, so she learned some techniques as a child. Arellano later earned a grant to take a quilt class but says she still feels new to quilting. So far, she has completed one small quilt and is working on another for the Migrant Quilt Project. “It’s interesting because it’s not a traditional quilt in any way,” Arellano said. The hardest part is the time and labor-intensive process it takes to piece together what is left from a person whose life ended in the desert. “I never understood the amount of labor that goes into making a quilt, “ Arellano said. “The difficulty is immense. You’re working with blood-stained clothing or self-mended clothing. It’s emotionally exhausting and it’s physically difficult piecing that many things—it’s tough.” The emotional labor was not something Arellano anticipated. Because she is a rhetorician, she carefully thinks about how to construct the quilt in order to send the message she wants. Although her quilt will not
count as part of her dissertation, she recognizes the research that goes into a quilt. One of her dissertation chapters talks about the act of quilting as a research method. The focus of Arellano’s dissertation lies in analyzing the quilts to understand their rhetorical function, in this case, their intended message is to raise awareness about immigration policy and issues. The greatest reaction Ipsen has seen has been from the people who see the quilts for the first time and are moved by the enormity of the quilts and number of names. Each year, approximately 170 to 175 names are on the quilt, according to Ipsen. Through Ipsen’s years as an activist, the shift in consciousness for humanity and how fragile it is, especially to those disenfranchised, is what she has learned the most. “I really feel consciously I have had a major shift in my perception of the border issues and of U.S. policy that has created this funneling of lives to really remote parts in the desert that people succumb to,” Ipsen said.

POLICE BEAT
KICK-OFF
web water park day • ua mall
BY MICHEAL ROMERO @mikerazors
Locked doors A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol around 7 a.m. on April 13 when he noticed a UA student on campus that was currently serving a suspension barring him from UA grounds. The UAPD officer kept visual contact with the suspect as he followed him deep into the campus. The officer stopped the suspect and made an inquiry to the UA Dean of Students Office as to whether the suspect was allowed to be on campus grounds. The former student was in fact not supposed to be on campus grounds as he had been serving an interim suspension for eviction from a UA dormitory. While the officer conducted a pat-down of the suspect, he noticed a clanging of glass in the suspect’s backpack. The officer checked the backpack to find a bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon and a small amount of marijuana. After being read his Miranda rights, the suspect agreed to a line of questions. He admitted to knowing that he wasn’t supposed to be on campus but said that he needed to retrieve personal property in his former dorm. Upon arrival, however, he noticed that the locks had been changed. The suspect was then placed under arrest for second-degree trespassing and minor in possession of alcohol. In order to retrieve his personal items in the future, the suspect needed to contact the Dean of Students Office to be escorted to his former dorm room. Another novelty case A UAPD officer was conducting traffic duty when they encountered a black truck driving 50 mph in a 35 mph zone at around midnight on April 13. The officer conducted a traffic stop on the black truck at the corner of Broadway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue. As the driver handed his license to the officer, the officer noticed another license in the driver’s wallet. The driver claimed that the horizontal Ohio issued license was only a novelty given to them by a friend. A quick call by the officer revealed that the Ohio driver’s license was indeed fake and while having the same name and date of birth of the driver, the birth year made the driver 21 years old. The driver maintained that the license had never been used for entry into clubs or to purchase alcohol. The driver was cited and released with two charges for possession of fictitious license and speeding.

BY CHRISTINE M. FLOWERS PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS (TNS)
I
’ve been asked to speak at various locations for various occasions in the past. I spoke at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall in 2009 when the tea party had a rally. I’ve been a panelist for the Philadelphia Bar Association discussing the media and O.J. Simpson. I’ve gone to the state Capitol to testify about gun violence and the link with mental illness. I’ve spoken at churches, in Spanish and French, trying to keep immigrants from panicking about President Donald Trump’s executive orders. What can I say: I’m an ItalianIrish lady with lots of opinions. I’m amazed that people are willing to listen to them. (They don’t pay, but still.) What I can’t manage to do is get a speaking gig at my alma mater or its brother school. I graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1983, when it was still safe to be a moderate, which I was at the time. Going to Bryn Mawr was a wonderful experience that exposed me to different viewpoints and value systems, and it gave me the courage to come out, so to speak, as a real conservative by the time I put on my graduation robe. While at Bryn Mawr, I spent a lot of time on Haverford’s campus, so I feel in some ways an alum of that leafy, lovely campus too. You can imagine, then, how happy I was to hear from a member of an organization called No Labels in November that they wanted me to come and talk to the community about my life, my writing, my politics and whatever else might have come up during the discussion. I was told they needed to do some planning, which I suppose was a polite way of saying, “We need to make sure the liberal students don’t come for you with flaming torches.” That was fine, and

I waited to hear back. After a few weeks, I got a text saying that because it was the end of term, they’d put it off until the next semester. Sounded fine to me. I expected to hear something in January, and there was silence. I expected to hear something in February, too, but the crickets sang a lovely version of Handel’s “Messiah.” Finally, after I mentioned something on Facebook about the aborted attempt to speak at my alma mater, I got a text apologizing for the long delay and promising that someone would be in touch shortly. About a week later, I got a text saying No Labels was meeting that evening and would get back to me with dates later that night or the next day. That was three weeks ago. I texted the organizer in one last attempt to see whether this was a
real person or one of those robots that take and send messages and got a text saying, essentially, sorry, but no. I have now resigned myself to the fact that Bryn Mawr and Haverford do not want to hear what I have to say. I could attribute this to a variety of reasons, including that I’m really not that interesting, famous or tall enough to be seen easily above the lectern. All of these are true. However, given what has been happening on college campuses lately, I wouldn’t be surprised that No Labels does, in fact, have one label in its top drawer, which includes the message: “No Conservatives Allowed.” I’m not picking on these colleges, mind you. Bryn Mawr and Haverford are not the only ones that have slid into this valley where the only type of dissent allowed is the type that doesn’t offend, anger, trouble or

delegitimize anyone. That type of dissent is usually called, “Shut up, I don’t want to hear what you have to say.” At Pomona College in California, students of “color,” whatever that means these days, claimed that the truth was really a tool of “white supremacy.” They pushed to have conservative commentators at the Claremont Independent, a campus publication, sanctioned. They have the gall to demand this. This makes sense because so many people of “color” want to feel comfortable in their happy places, like Black Lives Matter meetings where people without “color” (like me, apparently) are barred from participating. The next logical step is to punish people who disagree with them, conservatives who have the audacity to dissent from the liberal, borderline communist
view of the world. And then, there were the protests at Berkeley, where a riot broke out when conservative firebrand Milo Yannopoulos was prevented from speaking and where Ann Coulter originally was told she couldn’t appear because the school is not sure it can ensure her safety, before officials changed their minds. Coulter rejected the rescheduled date, noting that the new date occurs when classes are not in session. As an aside, I doubt school officials really care whether Ann is crushed under a replica of one of those May Day tanks that used to roll through Moscow during the Soviet heydays, but it’s nice to think they actually have a tender side. And of course, we can’t forget the teacher who was physically assaulted by the little darlings at Middlebury, who were protesting the appearance of Charles Murray. No, our folk out here are much tamer. Bryn Mawr and Haverford would not expose me to physical danger; they just don’t want to hear what I have to say about unborn babies, stupid little pink crochet hats, same-sex marriage (they really don’t want to hear that) and sexual harassment, a la Bill O’Reilly. They might enjoy my comments about immigration, but it would be too much to digest that along with the rest of the bitter brew. So, I’m thinking, they’ve just decided to opt out. These are the things that make me glad I actually went to college at a time when people could annoy you, enrage you, excite you and, with that, inspire you. Now, you’re more likely to get a concussion than conversation, more likely to be threatened than intellectually challenged, more likely to be bloodied than informed. I guess I’ll stick to pro-life rallies, where the human casualties haven’t been born yet.

Rock on: Boulder-drilling competition at Old Main UA Mining and Geological Engineering students competed near the doors of Old Main Friday. The goal? The deepest drillhole in a huge boulder BY OWEN ZERAMBO @dailywildcat
On the morning of April 21st, a group of hard-hatted, safetygoggled, (mostly) bearded individuals gather near a 20-ton boulder next to Old Main. Students of UA’s Mining and Geological Engineering department, they’d come to test their mettle and see who could drill the deepest hole into the massive rock—using a drill weighing close to 120 pounds with only two minutes to do it. The Mining and Geological Engineering department competes in the International Intercollegiate Mining Games, which began in Idaho in 1979 as a tribute to miners who perished in the Sunshine Mine disaster of 1972. The competition, which is hosted by mining colleges and universities around the world, features gold panning, jackleg drilling, hand steeling and various other historical forms of mining. The UA team won that first competition in 1979. Next year, the UA mining department will be traveling to England to compete against other international teams for the Sunshine trophy. However, today’s competition has a much more laid back atmosphere. “Today is more for student participation,” said James Werner, assistant director of the San Xavier Underground Mining Laboratory, “this isn’t the legit one. This is just the interdepartmental, fun one.” At 10:35 a.m. the group was given permission to begin drilling. Using a trailer-towed generator provided by Atlas Copco and drilling equipment brought over from the San Xavier mine, the sound of a jackleg drill shattering rock emitted deafening sound around Old Main. Water sprayed out near the tip of the drill bit, to help reduce friction and wet down dust caused by the steel bit pounding against the rock.
IAN GREEN/THE DAILY WILDCAT
JAMES WARNER, OF SAN Xavier Underground Mining Laboratory, measures the depth of Nathan Kraft’s drilling result during a contest hosted by the Mining and Geological Engineering department on April 21 at Old Main. The 20-ton boulder lay on Old Main’s yard as seven UA students competed to bore the deepest hole using a 120-pound jackleg drill.
Back when it was first invented in the 1930s, the jackleg revolutionized the speed and efficiency with which miners could drill shafts for establishing supports as well as blast holes for dynamite. The jackleg is named after the drill’s hydraulic piston, which acts as a support leg for the machine. By adjusting the piston, miners can change the height of the drill as well as provide extra pressure for boring into the surface of the rock. “So, they start from this position,” Werner explained, indicating with the 120-pound jackleg drill on the ground before him. “They have to put the steel [drill bit] in, get the
drill up on their own, get it up to the rock, and start collaring the rock.” Collaring is the term used to describe drilling the beginning of a new hole, and from watching the mining students attempt this, the difficulty of the process became very apparent. Enough pressure must be consistently applied to the steel bit in order to get the hole started. The miner must use their hand to grasp near the end of the drill bit and keep it stabilized on the rock, otherwise the drill will rattle and shake violently. However, once the miner has collared the hole deep enough to insert the drill bit, they will then place the
entirety of their weight behind the drill and lean on the piston leg to help drive horizontally into the rock’s surface. With enough practice, the more veteran participants, such as Werner, can achieve a depth of around 18 inches in just two minutes. With only seven individuals participating this year—almost half that of last year—each participant is given two rounds to drill instead of just one. Their final score is determined by adding together the combined depths achieved in each round, at which point, the winner of the day is ceremoniously tossed into the Berger Memorial Fountain outside the west
entrance of Old Main. The winner of this year’s competition—and oddly enough, the only non-bearded participant—was 22-year old Nathan Kraft, a UA student with a year and half worth of experience in the mining engineering program. With a combined depth of 22 inches, Kraft was able to drill just barely deeper than his competition and win the day. At which point, he was then hoisted onto the shoulders of his engineering cohorts and delivered unto his watery accolades. Truly a sweet victory for Kraft and mining heritage everywhere.

and start regulating and censoring their research because some feel it is better for the economy,” Bruff said. According to Bruff, science has never played a large role in politics. But after years of legislation to protect industry over the environment, science must take a more active role, especially considering the actions of the new administration. Others echoed Bruff ’s sentiment. Teal Brechtel, a UA molecular and cellular biology graduate student, said “Our careers depend on science funding from the government.” The colorful signs peppering the rally reflected Brechtel’s motivation. Signs listed off the diseases science has cured and criticized the new administration for its proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health and other departments. For Luke Kosinski, another graduate student in molecular and cellular biology and statistics, the rally was all about raising awareness. “The more and more people who show up and rally across the country, the more and more attention the cause receives,” Kosinski said. “It then has a greater chance to reach politicians’ ears and convince them to act on the research funding situation and other issues.” One of these other issues is climate change. Signs dealing with climate change such as those reading “Ice has no agenda, it just melts” and “Water is Life” were a common feature at the event. The Arizona chapter of the Citizen Climate Lobby spoke at the event and handed out fliers alongside other political campaigns. The rally also featured a booth selling screen printed lab coats as well as a number of educational booths featuring UA faculty and departments. The event was not sponsored by the UA.
After the inauguration of President Trump, the United States has seen a series of high-profile, nationwide marches for everything from women rights to a perceived Muslim ban. The March for Science draws on similar themes of distrust in the new administration and politicians. “Science is being undermined by our current politicians,” said Jennifer Powers, the mother of a UA student. If the country does not fund and respond to scientific research on our current societal problems, then the nation is further digging itself into a ditch, Powers said. Her opinion was reflected by Nancy Bennett, who attended the rally wearing a sign. “The political climate is ignorant of the facts,” Bennett said. The rally, lasting four hours, was a success in the eyes of Bruff and other attendees. “I am very happy to see so many smiling faces and so many people dancing, holding up signs, buying the t-shirts, and hearing all the great speakers,” Bruff said. Bruff hopes the community of Tucson will rally around the cause and start working to organize a rally for next year and continue to spread the message that science matters throughout the year. For Powers, the diversity of the people at the event stood out most for her. While UA science, technology, engineering and math majors and scientists came out in force, they were not alone. Community members and families also came out to support the value of science and expert scientists in the face of climate change, disease, and the dissemination of “fake news”. “People came to the rally with their own perspectives but they all came to contribute their voice and support the concept of science,” Powers said.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Chlamydia, HPV, and herpes are the three most common STDs at the University of Arizona.
Long-term Effects of Chlamydia Initially, chlamydia may go unnoticed. However, it can lead to health complications for both men and women. Chlamydia may cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if it spreads to a woman’s uterus and fallopian tubes. This can cause permanent damage and affect chances of having a healthy pregnancy. It may make it very difficult, and even impossible, for a woman to get pregnant. It can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy, where the pregnancy occurs outside of the uterus. While men do not have as serious problems, the infection can lead to pain and inflammation in the testicles. Chlamydia (sometimes referred to as ‘the clam’) is a very common STD, mostly in young adults. It can infect both men and women through unprotected vaginal, anal, and oral sex. One of the hardest parts of knowing if you should get tested for chlamydia is that often times, it shows no symptoms. In fact, over four million Americans currently have chlamydia right now and do not know it. If symptoms do appear, they often don’t show up for a
couple of weeks. Some symptoms can include discharge, burning while urinating, pain and/or swelling in testicles, fever, and also rectal bleeding (if one was infected via anal sex). Being infected with chlamydia may sound scary, but there is good news! When it is caught early, chlamydia can be effectively treated and cured with antibiotics. Your doctor may prescribe you a single dose or a week of antibiotics to help treat your symptoms and to get rid of the infection. At UA Campus Health, our pharmacy may provide you an additional dose for your partner, saving them a visit, and preventing chlamydia from “ping-ponging” between you. Sexually active but have no symptoms? Consider getting tested anyway. Campus Health offers confidential testing and treatment for any UA student. And you can bursar it. Protect yourself (and others) by knowing your STD status. Guest Columnists: Judy Cho & Elise Suhre, Senior Public Health Interns
95% of UA students do not drive while under the influence of alcohol. 91% arrange to have a designated driver if they plan to drink. If you drink, have a plan: Call a friend. Call a cab. Stay overnight. Have a sober designated driver. Health & Wellness Survey 2016

When you work at a museum, you’ve got to dance The UA’s many museums contain far more than famous photography, works of art and state artifacts. Inside are staff, guests and students ready to bust a move BY KIRSHANA GUY @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona Museum of Art, Center for Creative Photography and the Arizona State Museum teamed up to compete in the fourth annual Museum Dance Off, hosted by the blog, “When You Work At a Museum.” Maggie Guzowski, operator of When You Work At a Museum, said the competition had its start in 2014. “It started in 2014 when Indiana State Museum sent me a video,” Guzowski said. “It was of their staff dancing through their museum to Pharrel’s ‘Happy.’” Guzowski shared the video on her blog and other videos began to flood in from museums all around the country. “Before you know it, we had a dance off on our hands,” Guzowski said. Museums from all around the world pick a song for everyone from staff to visitors to bust their best dance moves to in front of a camera before uploading it online. According to When You Work At a Museum’s website, this year’s competition is based on regions. Groups are competing in the regional championships for a chance to bust a move at the Thunderdome. According to Guzowski, there were approximately 41 teams that submitted videos. These videos were submitted by March 31, and voting for some regions began on April 17. Voting for Arizona began April 24 at 8 a.m. The videos can be found on When You Work At a Museum’s website. “Many of us on staff at the various museums follow the blog and have been aware of the dance off for a few years,” said Gina Compitello-Moore, the marketing manager for the UA Museum of Art and Center for

Creative Photography. “We’ve talked about entering before, but this is the first year we actually got it together,” Compitello-Moore said. “We thought it would be fun to enter as the three museums together so we could show off more of the museum awesomeness on campus.” The first Arizona museum to compete was The Phoenix Museum of Art in 2014. Since then there have been no Arizona submissions until this year. It appears that the UA’s museums were one of few groups that entered as a team collaboration between museums. However, there were video submissions that included local colleges, such as New Hampshire Telephone
Museum’s collaboration with Northeast Catholic College. To vote, visit whenyouworkatamuseum.com to view the competing videos. After watching, select your favorite and submit. Voting is open until 5 a.m. on April 25. Individuals can also vote for their favorite video using the hashtag #MDO4 on Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook. After the voting polls close, the winners will be announced the next morning. There will also be a new round of videos available to vote on. The group with the most votes from April 24-25 will advance to take on the winner of the first Western U.S. regionals, the Mob Museum, on May 3. The winner of that round will then take on the Eastern U.S. champion for the chance
to advance to the international Thunderdome final. “The museum that wins is the one that gets the most votes, and you can vote as often as you like,” Compitello-Moore said. “We’re hoping that the UA community can help support its museums to beat out the other three competitors that day.” The UA museums are competing against the Thanksgiving Point Institute, Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma. “This contest is a great way to showcase the people who make the museums what they are,” Compitello-Moore said. “We have staff from curatorial, education, library, exhibition prep, registration, marketing, membership, development,
research and more in our video.” In the videos, the individuals highlight the many art pieces found throughout the museums. “We get to show off our pretty amazing collections, exhibitions and behind the scenes spots,” Compitello-Moore said. “And it’s always fun to see fellow museum geeks from around the world dancing.” Compitello-Moore said that Brigette Villasenor, a film major and student employee at the Center for Creative Photography, partially filmed and completely edited the video submitted by the UA museums. Visit the website before April 25, at 5 a.m. to vote for your favorite video for Arizona’s region. Also, don’t forget to share the fun, dance off videos with others.

VINYLS ON DISPLAY AT Wooden Tooth Records on Seventh Street on April 22. The store was one of many around the country celebrating Record Store Day.
Tucson tunes in old school at this record store BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro
Music fans across the world turned off their Pandora playlists this weekend and tuned into their favorite songs in a different way. This past Saturday, music fans everywhere celebrated National Record Store Day. Inaugurated in 2007, Record Store Day occurs every year on the third Saturday in April. The idea was to help spread the word about 1,400 independent record stores in America and thousands across the world. Today, there are record stores on every continent on Earth, except for Antarctica. Music fans across the globe celebrate the distinctive culture of records with festivities including cook-outs, performances, meet and greets and other events. Many Tucson record stores celebrated this occasion, including PDQ Records, Zia RecordsSpeedway and Wooden Tooth Records. Kellan Fortier, co-owner of Wooden Tooth Records, helped bring in the special occasion at his store. An avid music fan himself, Fortier has over 1,200 records in his personal collection. Located at 416 E. Seventh St, Wooden Tooth Records has music from local artists along with classic records, such as “All Eyez on Me” by Tupac and “Midnight Marauders” by A Tribe Called Quest. Wooden Tooth Records also celebrated their third anniversary on Record Store Day. “We opened up earlier than usual and had all of the exclusive record store day releases,” Fortier said. “We put aside hundreds of records for people to dig through and also had free coffee and doughnuts.” Despite the emergence of Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming services into the music industry, music fans still like to turn
back the clock on how they enjoy their music. “I think there is something more tangible than just an MP3, you are getting a piece of art instead of a file on a computer,” Fortier said. “If you have the right sound system, I think vinyls sound much better than digital music.” Despite streaming websites and digital files, records have seen an increase in sales over the past few years. Known as the Vinyl Revival, vinyls have had an uptick in popularity since 2007, after being replaced in the 80s by CDs and by digital downloads in the 2000s. “People going back to purchasing things instead of illegally downloading them is supporting the artist,” Fortier said. “It allows for artists to continue making music.” Fortier said that Tucson had a decent-sized fan base collecting vinyls at the time, some even collecting them exclusively. “I would say quite a few people in Tucson are collecting solely vinyls at the moment,”Fortier said. “People do not buy CDs anymore.” Since its inauguration three years ago on Record Store Day, Wooden Tooth Records has seen its customer base grow. “We have grown every year and Record Store Day proves this every year,” he said. Tucson was not the only location celebrating Record Store Day in southern Arizona; stores in Phoenix were also celebrating the occasion. “Some friends in Phoenix with a record store are having live music and going all out,” Fortier said. While few things beat a great Spotify playlist, owning a record of one of your favorite musical acts might top that. Vinyls are more expensive than CDs and streaming services, but they provide a different sense of ownership. Wooden Tooth Records is open from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Baseball swept for first time at Hi Corbett BY ROSS OLSON @rossolson95
The Arizona baseball team got swept for only the second time this season after falling to Utah 4-2 in the series finale Saturday night at Hi Corbett behind an outstanding completegame effort by Utah left-hander Josh Lapiana. The UA offense struggled for the second consecutive game as it was only able to score two runs on six hits. The Utes wasted little time getting on the board as DaShawn Keirsey Jr., who led off the game with a single, came around to score on a double by Dallas Carroll. Utah added two more when next batter Hunter Simmons singled to center. After Wade Gulden bunted Simmons to second, Rio Gomez was relieved by Michael Flynn after recording only one out. The Wildcats got out of the inning after right fielder Alfonso Rivas threw out Simmons at the plate and tracked down a deep fly ball in right center. The Utes tacked on another in the second when Keirsey walked, stole second then scored on a single by Oliver Dunn to make it 4-0. The Wildcats, who lead the Pac-12 in batting, struggled to get the offense going for the second consecutive game. UA threatened in the fifth when Rivas led off with a single and moved to second on a ball in the dirt with one
down but the Wildcats were unable to bring him in. UA again threatened in the sixth when Mitchell Morimoto singled with one out and went to third on a Jared Oliva single. J.J. Matijevic promptly drove in Morimoto with a sacrifice fly to decrease the deficit to three. After the tough outing by Gomez, UA relievers did a terrific job of keeping Utah hitters at-bay. Flynn went 4.2 innings while allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts. Robby Medel followed Flynn’s lead by throwing four solid scoreless innings with two strikeouts. “They take good at-bats and don’t swing at very many balls,” Medel said. “I had good intent and good conviction on my pitches and was able to execute.” UA stranded a runner in scoring position again in the seventh when Rivas led off with a double off the right center field wall and advanced to third on a sac fly by Cory Voss. Next batter Ryan Haug lined one to the left side that looked as if it would fall for a hit but Utah shortstop Ellis Kelly made an outstanding leaping grab to rob Haug of an RBI hit. Coach Jay Johnson then brought in Cal Stevenson to pinch hit for Cameron Cannon, but Stevenson flew out to center to end the frame. The Wildcats simply could not figure out Utah starter Lapiana who threw a complete game while only allowing two runs on six hits

with six strikeouts. “It started with their [Utah] pitching staff, they were really good,” Johnson said. “They played extremely good defense. I’m going to tip my hat to them. We are going to make
some adjustments from a development and personnel standpoint and go back to work on being prepared to play on Tuesday.” The Wildcats will now host New Mexico State on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Hi Corbett.

Women’s golf to host Pac-12 Championships Wildcats hope that home course advantage gives them the upper edge toward securing a confernce championship BY IVAN LEONARD
@Ivan14bro
Arizona women’s golf will host the Pac-12 Conference Championship for the first time since 2006. Tee time is slated for 8 a.m. on Monday, April 24, at Sewailo Golf Club at Casino Del Sol in Tucson. The Pac-12 alternates hosts every year to a different Pac12 school with Utah being the exception. “It is definitely a little harder on our home course because we are expecting so much,” said sophomore Haley Moore. While the Wildcats have high expectations of themselves, they
also know the advantages their home course has. “Ball placement and knowing where to hit on the greens are advantages we have,” said Moore. “And if the wind picks up, we know how it affects the course.” Heading into the conference championship, Arizona is No. 13 in the country according to Golfweek. “I think we started off slow this season, but we have definitely got our lineup going heading into post season,” said sophomore Gigi Stoll. “We have a good momentum heading into this tournament and into postseason.” While Arizona plays at courses across the Tucson area, the Wildcats home course is at Sewailo Golf Club and is a factor they can
use to master their game plan. “We have played the course a lot more these past two weeks just to get our own individual game plans,” Stoll said. “The coaches have helped us out with where pins might be and good spots to be on the course.” Despite having home course advantage, the Wildcats are not taking the competition lightly. “The Pac-12 is probably the hardest golf conference,” Moore said. “UCLA is playing well along with USC and our rivals up north so it is anyone’s game, but we have home field advantage.” Led by Arizona State at No. 2, six Pac-12 teams placed in the top-25 including three in the top-five. USC won the conference championship
last season and checks in at No. 10 in the rankings. Haley Moore leads the Wildcats with an average of 70.67 in eight tournaments this season and won the All-State Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate in February. Senior Wanasa Zhou also won a tournament for the Wildcats at the Mountain View Collegiate. Zhou’s posted the best score in Wildcats history with a 13 under par in that match. Zhou missed the Ping Arizona State Invitational with tendonitis, but she will still play in the conference championship. “It is that time of the year and it is very unfortunate to get injured, however, I had two weeks in between to get ready,”
Zhou said. “I just have to start back slow, not push myself too hard and try my best.” The Wildcats are confident in their ability to pick each other up if someone has a bad day on the course according to Moore, which give them another advantage against the competition at this point in the season. While there are numerous nationally ranked teams coming to Tucson, Arizona still expects to win this match. “I know Stanford has played pretty well but honestly this is our home course,” Zhou said. “I think we are the team to beat.” For live updates, Golfstat.com is providing scores for all teams and players.
MAUGA CRUSHES HER WAY TO HISTORY After topping the Arizona charts, the new queen of crash sets her sights on a new mark: The NCAA all-time home run record
BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
At the start of 2017, it seemed like it was only a matter of time. After hitting at least 20 home runs in each of her first three seasons at Arizona, Katiyana Mauga needed just that to tie the all-time Arizona home run record. A sure thing had turned into a big question mark by the end of March as Mauga struggled, but 10 home runs during the month of April has put her all alone atop the Arizona record books. Mauga slugged home runs number 87 and 88 over the weekend against the Ducks, the latter of which broke Stacie Cambers’ Arizona record. Mauga is also alone in third place in the NCAA record books, just two behind UCLA’s Stacey Nuveman for second all-time. “It was very special, it was a special moment,” Mauga said when asked about breaking the record. “I
was just proud of myself. I wanted to do it for my coach, myself and my parents.” NCAA record holder Lauren Chamberlain broke Nuveman’s record of 90 during her senior year, but it came late in the season in May and it didn’t always look as if the Oklahoma slugger would be able to pull it off. The pressure of the chase is something that Chamberlain felt all season. She broke the record with only a few games to go for the Sooners, but when the pressure was finally off, she hit four home runs during the postseason. “I think the pressure of it along the way and the highs and lows, especially the lows, have made this moment so much sweeter,” Chamberlain told ESPN in 2015. “I think I’m able to celebrate [after breaking the record] and kind of breathe a little bit and just relax and play softball.” Chamberlain would end her career with 95, a number still in Mauga’s sights. Mauga felt that same pressure early on this season. Late in March, Mauga was batting just .297 and had 11 home runs. Her numbers were all lower than her averages from her first three seasons and the constant questions about the record caught up to her. “It definitely took the fun out of the game for me,” Mauga said. “I struggled and it showed so I think that pressure screwed with my head.” That pressure is gone now after hitting ten home runs this month, and now that she has broken the Arizona record she still has a chance to become the NCAA all-time leader. “I feel like I’m getting back to who I am as a person and who I am as a player,” Mauga said. “Definitely maturing a lot and after GCU and this last month I feel a lot better about myself. I don’t think the NCAA [record] is as much pressure as the Arizona [record]. I’m just focusing on the team and focusing on what I can do to help the team. Just looking forward for postseason.”
