‘It’s incredibly unfair’ Move to online classes fundamentally alters courses

By Jake Goldstein-Street and Ash Shah The Daily The UW’s School of Art + Art History + Design’s novel coronavirus policy first published March 5 said the growing outbreak was having only a “modest” impact on instruction in the school. But there was a caveat. “This is an evolving situation, both in Washington and globally, so circumstances could change rapidly,” a message on the school’s website reads. It appears the circumstances did indeed change rapidly for the school after the university’s announcement March 6 to end in-person class meetings for the last two weeks of the quarter. In a message to students shortly after, the director of the School of Art + Art History + Design, Jamie Walker, said grades would be issued on a credit/ no-credit basis based on work already completed “after careful consultation with faculty and staff and attention to fairness and equity.” Credit/no-credit means students either pass or fail the class, but are not issued a numeric grade. It is also noted as such on one’s transcript. Christy, a junior who didn’t want her last name published for privacy reasons, called this decision “incredibly unfair” and noted that it would make her ineligible for the Dean’s List because she wouldn’t have enough credits graded numerically. “I know I’m just one student, but I worked so hard just to be

able to attend this school, so this feels so incredibly insulting to me,” Christy, also a transfer student, said. “In a way, it feels like undermining all the hard work I’ve done to get to this point.” After criticism from students, the school changed its policy to leave grades up to the discretion of individual professors depending if they can be fairly calculated based on work done to this point. This is just one particularly stark example of how the university’s move to end in-person gatherings is fundamentally altering how courses are structured and graded, with many making finals optional and others eliminating them altogether. While humanities and social science classes are feeling less of an impact from the change as their last assignments are often essays or exams more easily made available online, STEM and business classes are struggling more to make that shift. In a unique decision, a finance class is moving forward with its remote final, but doing so using Zoom video conferencing in which students must film themselves taking the test, which some students see as an odd way to enforce anti-cheating measures and as a potential invasion of privacy. This comes after the UW procured a $200,000 license to make Zoom Pro free for all students and staff last week. CSE 143, the second class in the introductory computer

science series with hundreds of students, has canceled its final exam and students’ grades will be calculated based on scores earned so far. Grades in this class play a large role in the admissions process into the computer science department, a notoriously competitive major on campus. “There really are no great options under unprecedented circumstances like these and I considered a variety of solutions,” computer science professor Hal Perkins said in an email to The Daily. “Given that there is a good deal of data about student performance collected throughout the quarter, I decided to cancel the exam.” Perkins said his decision was based on a recommendation from the Allen School’s student advisory council. Professors for several other upper-level computer science classes are making similar decisions to cancel finals. This puts a lot of students who were relying on finals to boost their grades at a disadvantage. For students in MATH 112, the higher of their two midterms scores replaces their final. Students with grades above 2.0 or below 1.0 will be given no further opportunities to improve their grade. “If your grade is between 1.1 and 1.8, then you are in what I consider ‘passing range’ and will have an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the material and pass the course,” Jennifer Taggart, a lecturer in

File photo the math department, wrote in an email to her students. Classes in the introductory calculus series serve as prerequisites to many of the capacity-constrained majors on campus, and due to classes being moved online because of COVID-19, they have been forced to cancel finals. To counteract the negative effect this might have on students’ grades, professors are changing how they curve classes to boost scores. MATH 126, the third class in the calculus series, typically has a median GPA of 2.7 to 3.1. “I know that many of you were hoping to improve your grade by doing well on the final,” a calculus professor wrote to students. “Essentially I’m going to compute grades as if that happened.” The median is being set higher, resulting in more 4.0s being given out and fewer sub2.0s. The move to online exams and coursework raises other concerns given that many students don’t have easy access to the technology needed to do work away from school. Meanwhile, most UW libraries, which house ample tech resources, are operating on reduced hours. “If we go to remote for a couple of weeks, that’s an equity

issue,” ASUW President Kelty Pierce said before Friday’s announcement. “Not all of our students have access to a laptop. Not all of our students have internet at home. Not all of our students can sit around waiting to do their classes online.” One political science professor made the online final untimed and optional because “this is an extraordinary situation and causes significant disruption, uncertainty, and stress.” This means that if students decide not to take the exam, their grade will be based on assignments completed up to that point. “There may be variation in student access to computers and the internet during the exam period,” the professor wrote to students Friday evening. “My goal in making the take-home final optional is to provide maximum flexibility to each student and the ability to make a choice that works best for them given the constraints and challenges they now face.” Editor-In-Chief Mira Petrillo contributed to this article.

How coronavirus affects on-campus employees By Ash Shah and Jake Goldstein-Street The Daily The UW announced March 6 it was ending in-person classes for the last two weeks of the quarter as a means of social distancing amid the novel coronavirus outbreak and the first presumptive positive case of the virus on campus. But what does all of this mean for students employed on campus? The short answer: it’s complicated. There doesn’t appear to be a uniform policy across the many employers on campus on how to handle work for the next two weeks given the range of tasks, from serving food at dining halls to tutoring to tech support. “It’s not like all the folks that are not attending classes are

gonna disappear,” President Ana Mari Cauce said in a press conference Friday. “They are still gonna be looking for ways to fill up their time. Some of them are very high energy folks and we want to be able to continue to provide for them to be able to participate in the campus community.” Many workers remain up in the air about their schedules for the next couple of weeks while also worried about exposure to the virus. Michelle Camber works in Roosevelt Commons West, the building right next to the one housing the staff member who was the UW community’s first presumed positive case of COVID-19. “It is definitely uncomfortable knowing that I may be in such close contact with the virus,”

Camber said in an email. “Although classes have been modified, I wish work operations were modified too... I don’t feel that I’m at any less risk now because I still have to work.” Camber, a student worker who files paperwork and greets guests, said her tasks didn’t change Friday. Before the closure, Housing & Food Services (HFS) was facing internal criticism from employees who felt it should be doing more to protect both staffers and the people they serve. “It’s terrifying being a cashier and having to be in contact with hundreds of people every day, and not only because of our own safety, but because we have the responsibility put on our shoulders to protect the wider community and no one is telling us how to do that,” one employee said on the condition of anonymity as to avoid retribution. When employees sent an email outlining concerns to their supervisor, they were met with calls to wash their hands and ensure food is handled safely. “We are ultimately only able to follow the university’s stance on this,” their supervisor responded in an email obtained by The Daily. Now the HFS-led parts of the HUB will be closed on Saturdays and hours are reduced to 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. starting March 9.

Employees who work after 5 p.m. have had their shifts cut. HUB Games will still be open at its regular hours, but student staff may be reduced to one or two employees at a time. The Commuter & Transfer Commons (CTC), which provides services for students who have transferred to the UW or commute to campus, will close March 9 and remain closed until the start of spring quarter due to the coronavirus. Many other resources are also closing as a precaution. Others, like Student Legal Services, are switching to only providing services remotely. The iSchool IT Help Desk, which consists of eight employees who work on a daily basis, helping students, faculty, and staff with any technology or equipment based problems will switch to a teleworking schedule, troubleshooting problems from home as opposed to coming to work, as professors make the switch to the new online-only format. “This is a pretty significant change in protocol given the fact that there’s usually one or two employees on-site to monitor the status of servers and other hardware,” Jason Xu, a student assistant at the iSchool IT Help Desk, wrote in an email. The dean of the iSchool, Anind Dey, also created a task force that would be responsible in the event of a hardware

failure, disrupting online activity, to come back to campus and fix any problems. The employees on the task force are on it voluntarily. The Odegaard Writing and Research Center (OWRC) will also remain open but will operate on a reduced schedule from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Remaining open alongside our library partners with what limited capacity we, as individuals, feel we can give, is the best option for both supporting writers and supporting tutors in their role as hourly employees who may or may not have the capacity to forego a week and a half of earnings,” an email sent to OWRC staff read. “If this means that there are days or hours where OWRC is functionally shut down because no one can work, then so be it.” Reach Science Editor Ash Shah and News Editor Jake Goldstein-Street at news@dailyuw.com.

PNW blood supply at risk of collapse By Ash Shah The Daily Due to the recent novel coronavirus outbreak, Bloodworks Northwest, a local blood donation center, has seen a drop in blood donations. In the last week, since King County reported its first coronavirus-linked death, there’s been a decrease in blood donors, and many companies have canceled drives. As a result, the blood supply in the Pacific Northwest has hit an emergency level. The increase in blood drive cancellations has put nearly 60% of the community’s blood supply in jeopardy, according to Bloodworks. UW students make up a sizable chunk of Bloodworks’ donating pool, with blood drive trucks parked on campus most weekdays. With the switch to online classes and reduced hours for most on-campus resources, the campus has appeared emptier this past week. However, according to the Bloodworks CEO and president, Curt Bailey, the truck had an extremely good turnout on March 5 and has not yet seen a drop in visitors. Many blood drives, which are usually set up on school or office campuses, have been canceled due to building and school closures. Organizations, such as churches and community groups, often hold drives but, due to health concerns, have been canceling their programs.

“As a result, we’ve lost something like 430-odd donations so far this week,” Bailey said on March 6, a number he expects will rise as more and more cases are diagnosed. Bloodworks confirmed that they are starting to receive help from blood centers across the country. They are sending in shipments to help but it isn’t enough to solve the problem. “Without available blood, doctors will have to make life or death decisions about who receives blood and who doesn’t,” Vicki Finson, executive vice president of blood services, said in a press release. “We know that fears of coronavirus are threatening our blood supply, but even scarier is the idea that we won’t have enough blood for people who desperately need it. We need donors to keep their appointments and for blood drive sponsors to keep hosting drives.” Bailey made clear it remains safe for a healthy, eligible donor to donate blood. The blood centers themselves are extremely clean, with employees constantly wiping down surfaces and practicing rigorous handwashing and sanitation methods. “The blood donation process is completely sterile,” Bailey said. “There is no chance that one can be infected from the process of donating blood.” This refers to the process end-to-end, from donors to recipients. According to Bailey,

Without available blood, doctors will have to make life or death decisions about who receives blood and who doesn’t.

there is no evidence that the virus is transmitted through blood, meaning patients who receive blood transfusions are not at risk of getting the coronavirus through the blood. “Bloodworks would like to reassure the community that its policies and procedures have been developed to assure compliance with the FDA, CDC, and other applicable recommendations related to COVID-19,” Dr. Kirsten Alcorn, Bloodworks medical director of blood services, said in a press release.

Despite classes switching to an online-only format, the blood drive trucks will continue to come to the UW campus to serve students living on or near the school as well as employees who remain on campus. The schedules and locations of the trucks can be found online. Reach Science Editor Ash Shah at news@dailyuw.com. Twitter: @itsashshah

What campus resources are closing and what’s staying open By Ash Shah and Jake Goldstein-Street The Daily With campus set to be more sparsely populated for the final two weeks of winter quarter because of fears surrounding the novel coronavirus outbreak, many vital resources to students are either closing or moving to remote electronic access only. Many resources on campus are being closed as a precaution. The ASUW Bike Shop and Bean Basket in the HUB, for example, will be closed. The ASUW has canceled events and meetings through the end of the quarter and employees are encouraged to work remotely. The ASUW Student Senate meeting, previously scheduled for March 10, has been canceled. The board of directors meeting, scheduled for March 12, will still take place. The Student Legal Services (SLS) office will be switching to an online consultation system. Students can reach out by email to set up an appointment. Part of what’s making this possible at SLS and other offices is a $200,000 license the university signed with Zoom for video conferencing on Wednesday in anticipation. The Odegaard Writing and Research Center is also still open on a reduced schedule from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be closed

Sunday, March 15. The CLUE Writing Center, a late-night drop-in tutoring center, has officially switched to online tutoring for the remainder of the quarter. Disability Resources for Students will be holding all student appointments remotely over phone, email, or video call through March 27. It is unclear how the Q Center and Student Veteran Life will be operating moving forward, according to the HUB, which houses both resources. Starting March 9, Student Financial Aid, Work Study, Veterans Education Benefits, and Childcare Assistance Program offices will all be available by phone or email. In-person advising for most Schmitz Hall departments has been suspended and appointments will be done remotely. The District Market on West Campus has also adjusted their hours in response to business closures on campus. It will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. through March 15 before reducing hours further the following week to close at 7 p.m. All UW recreation facilities, including the IMA, are open with activities continuing as usual.

File photo for International Understanding Through Students are also operating on their typical schedules. Several disciplines, including communications, political science, and computer science, are suspending in-person advising in favor of remote help and will resume with regular meetings when the campus is cleared to return to normal

operations. These precautions are meant to stanch the flow of the coronavirus, which had 79 confirmed cases statewide as of March 6, according to the state Department of Health. “The issue that we’re all dealing with is not only how do we stop this epidemic but also how do we slow it down so our health care system can respond,”

President Ana Mari Cauce said in a press conference Friday. “Some people are gonna get sick, but slowing it allows our health care system to respond.” Reach Science Editor Ash Shah and News Editor Jake Goldstein-Street at news@dailyuw.com. Twitter: @itsashshah @GoldsteinStreet

Local restaurants feel impact as c keep customers home By Estey Chen The Daily When news of the novel coronavirus broke in January, Tak Kurachi, owner of U:Don Fresh Japanese Noodle Station on the Ave and in Capitol Hill, observed that fears of the virus negatively impacted his business “a touch.” A report by KING 5 indicated that concerns primarily impacted businesses in Seattle’s Chinatown International District, a pattern also observed in Chinatowns across the country. But with the first U.S. coronavirus death in Kirkland and a climbing total of reported

for weeks, I definitely see that there’s a significant drop at both of my stores,” Kurachi said. “It is pretty scary for what it means for us in the future here.” And while Kurachi observed a moderate increase in takeout and delivery orders, it has not been enough to cover the overall 15 to 20% decrease in business. U:Don is not alone. Restaurants like Mee Sum Pastry and Portage Bay Cafe also experienced 20% declines. Outside the U-District, the numbers look worse. Citing friends whose Chinatown International District businesses slowed as much as

cancellation of in-person classes starting March 9, that might not be the case for much longer. Meanwhile, Portage Bay co-owner Amy Fair Gunnar described during a March 7 call a 35% decrease in business from the week before at their South Lake Union location. Gunnar credits the drop to neighboring tech companies switching to telecommuting, an unfeasible precaution for those in the service industry. “People are making a calculated decision right now,” professor Thomas Gilbert, who teaches at the Foster School of Business, said. “Both individuals — by not going out to public places — and businesses like Amazon — by not holding big events, telling people to work from home — that we’re better off with this short term pain to contain the epidemic rather than continue business as usual and have a really nightmarish 2020.” That short term pain is all too real for U-District restaurants that ordinarily experience a high volume of customers during finals week and spring break. Nearing spring, one of Portage Bay’s busiest periods of the year due to UW graduation, Gunnar would usually guarantee staffing and Easter reservations. Having owned Portage Bay with her husband, John, for 22 years, the Gunnars felt confident about their future. With rapidly changing

circumstances, however, they must plan one week at a time. “It’s been a very emotional issue for us and all food service people,” Gunnar said. “This is really the first time … we really don’t know what it’s going to be like. I hope that I’m grossly overreacting.” It’s unfamiliar territory for all parties involved. “It’s not that people don’t have the money; the economy is still sound,” Gilbert said. “But people aren’t spending because they don’t want to leave their houses. So no matter what the government does in terms of stimulating the economy, it’s pointless because this is about people’s behavior needing to change to contain the epidemic.” To reassure customers, staff at local restaurants disinfect surfaces like faucets, chairs, condiments, and door handles

Art events in the U-District What’s canceled, what’s moved, and what’s still happening

By Armon Mahdavi The Daily As in-person classes end and campus facilities shift their hours, the novel coronavirus has further impacted numerous events on and off campus. “We recognize that the situation with COVID-19 is an evolving one, and that it may impact your plans for participating in events,” a banner on the Arts UW website reads. While a high number of events have been canceled altogether, others have been postponed until further

A few larger concerts and performances at the Meany Center have not changed their plans. “All Meany Center Visiting Artist’s events are currently proceeding as scheduled,” an update published on the Meany Center website March 6 reads. “However, we encourage patrons who are not feeling well, are at high risk or are uncomfortable attending public events to stay home.” Here is a rundown of some events that have been canceled and postponed, as well as a list of events that you can still attend to satisfy your arts bug.

• All remaining performances of the School of Drama’s “The Women of Lockerbie” • The Studio Jazz Ensemble and UW Modern Band concert March 9 • Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir and Julio Elizalde concert at the Meany on March 9 • Poet Lisa Robinson’s Critical Lecture on March 12 • UW Symphony with combined UW Choirs concert March 13

did not notice a dip in visitors compared to previous Husky Saturdays, the first Saturday of the month when UW students may receive $2 in Farm Bucks to spend at any vendor.

International District businesses slowed as much as 50% over the last several weeks. Caviar notified users in emails March 6 of a new “no-contact” option. The longer this continues, however, restaurant owners may be forced to adopt more drastic measures like laying off staff. “Everyone’s important at our small shops,” Fong said. “But if [business] drops by 50% like what people are saying, you couldn’t do that for a long time. We’ll hold off as long as we can to make sure people are okay.” Still, there are reasons to be optimistic that the community will rally to support local food businesses when possible. Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Market staff deliberated whether to open their markets and decided, after meeting with King County Public Health and vendors, to continue with additional hand-washing stations and the discontinuation of samples.

An hour after the market opened at 9 a.m., baked goods vendor Salmonberry Goods had run out of several products and, by end of day, sold out. And though Gunnar feels unsettled by her business’s

uncertain future, she encourages friends planning to order takeout from the International District. “Where our businesses are being hit, the businesses in the [International District] are being hit harder,” Gunnar said, alluding to xenophobia and racism toward Chinatown businesses reported by the Stranger and Seattle Times. For now, restaurant owners engage in a waiting game for the promise that warmer weather will bring an end to flu season. “That’s the only thing we can do really, is hope,” Kurachi said.

Space debris is complicated How space law is working to solve it

By Isabelle Yang Contributing writer Often, when people imagine Earth from space, the image of a cloudy blue marble surrounded by a sea of stars comes to mind. However, the reality is quite different. Hundreds of thousands of satellites, other space equipment, and what is collectively known as “orbital debris” float around the Earth at all times. Although space remains a great frontier for human exploration and scientific achievement, it is also the setting for a potential threat to national security and a new horizon for international tensions that pose a great risk for the future of humanity’s space endeavors. Orbital debris ranges from a fleck of paint to discarded fairings from satellite launches and, according to NASA, can travel up to 18,000 miles per hour. These pieces gather in low Earth orbit (LEO) where around 6,000 tons of material has collected to form a space junkyard. According to professor Kristi Morgansen, co-director of the UW’s Space Policy & Research Center (SPARC), the problem of orbital debris isn’t solely limited to increasing the likelihood of collisions in space, which inevitably contribute to more debris build-up. Orbital debris is complicated heavily by policy issues

surrounding the question of who owns space debris and what should be done with it. “Some countries feel that you shouldn’t touch anything that they claim as theirs even though it may be considered a hazard by another country or company,” Morgansen said. “So how do you work around that policy side of things and what do you do technology-wise while being aware of those policy perspectives?” This is where new developments must be addressed by space law and policy. The aim of SPARC is to address these issues and, according to its website, advocate for a cross-disciplinary approach that “convenes resources and knowledge to meet the emerging challenges and opportunities of expanding human interest and exploration in space.” Professor Saadia M. Pekkanen, who co-directs SPARC alongside Morgansen, initially began her research in space law in 2004. According to Pekkanen, although orbital debris is a prominent issue, it is one of the three obstacles that not only pose a problem to humans trying to traverse outer space and conduct scientific research, but also to our national security, generating political tensions. Given the recent push toward 5G and new telecommunications technologies, companies like

SpaceX are in the process of launching thousands of small satellites to build a “mega constellation.” These satellites are highly difficult — if not impossible — to deorbit and will inevitably lead to more orbital debris. Adding onto private, profitorientated space ventures with little or no governance, a multitude of new countries are now entering the arena of space, further complicating the potential for cooperation and increasing the likeliness of political conflict. For example, in 2007, the deliberate destruction of Chinese spacecraft sent more than 2,000 pieces of debris, each 10 cm or greater in size, into the growing space junkyard. These forced destructions of space property not only add to orbital debris build-up but also represent the possibility of a “counter space race,” according to Pekannen. “When we think of the ‘space race,’ we think of science exploration,” Pekkanen said. “What we’re seeing right now is a ‘counter space race,’ where we are using our space assets to counter the assets of our rivals because we think that they’re somehow going to have a destructive impact on your own space assets.” A series of treaties collectively called “International Space Law: United Nations Instruments” exist, but its lack in breadth

Greta Enloe @frickoffgreg of governance may make it inadequate to deal with the new aggression and activities that take place in space. In response, policymakers and educators alike are now focusing on bringing issues of space policy to the awareness of federal governments in order to craft a cohesive, bilateral solution. Like all places that humans have at one point inhabited, they have left their mark, and space is no exception. The problem of human operations in a place not secured by the laws and boundaries of just one sovereign nation poses problems. In ensuring that space remains a place safe for human activity and the safety of the humans below on Earth, a discussion about international collaborative efforts are the focus of space law and policy. What remains the greatest

challenge and goal of SPARC is bringing the right people together to get on the same page about the latest technology and policy. With no end in sight to the build-up of orbital debris in space and the impending launch of thousands of satellites as the world, coming up with solutions that cover both the STEM and policy aspects while addressing the needs of a multitude of countries will be imperative. “We need to think about building platforms people can come together on, and that’s what we hope SPARC will be able to do,” Pekkanen said. “People in other countries are just as passionate as we may be here in Seattle, and I think that’s the challenge of our time.” Reach contributing writer Isabelle Yang at science@dailyuw.com.

Golden Hour The best time for a selfie (scientifically) By Hannah Krieg The Daily

Snapchats fall into two camps around sunset. The first: a truly unique shot of the sky, probably with a geotag to remind everyone the photographer is in Seattle or a sticker that says “vibes.” The second: the coveted golden hour selfie: glistening cheekbones, flawless complexion, and the perfect flush of warmth to the skin. It’s like a natural filter. “The one word that I would use would be ‘perfect,’” senior and fashion blogger Yasmeena Ghazal said. “When it comes to golden hour, everything is one shade, it’s one palette.” Ghazal has amassed an impressive 12,000 followers on Instagram and is no stranger to the magic of golden hour. “Even if you see a picture of someone on vacation in, for example, Greece, if it’s not golden hour, it’s just Greece,” Ghazal said. “But, if it’s a golden hour sunset and I see the view, and the sky is pretty, it just gives a different effect.” Ghazal even notices more comments on Instagram when she gets that perfect golden glow in a photo. “Golden hour is definitely my go-to,” senior and photographer Shadrak Musafiri said. “The way the light softens someone’s face, it’s kind of unreal.” Shadrak and Ghazal both attribute the success of golden hour to heightened warmth and an even wash of light. “It makes me look tan,” Ghazal said. “It makes me look like I’m on vacation.”

As magical as the sunset may appear through a camera lens, just as science can explain why the sky is blue, it can also explain golden hour lighting. Kazumi Tolich, a senior lecturer in the physics department, may not be a selfie expert — nor an active Snapchatter — but she did break down the science of our favorite photo-op. Basically, the sunlight carries the full “ROY G. BIV” spectrum and then a couple of extras: infrared and ultraviolet, the latter of which gives us sunburns. “When the sunlight travels to earth through the atmosphere, [all the colors] travel along, but when the light interacts with the particles in the atmosphere,” Tolich said. “They scatter in sort of random directions.” This scattering occurs most often in shorter wavelengths. Violet wavelengths are the shortest, then blue, then all the way to red, which are the longest. Sunlight carries far more blue light than violet, so the sky appears blue rather than violet. At midday, the sun is positioned directly overhead, but as the day progresses, the angle of the sun changes and the distance the light has to travel increases. “When the sun is setting, the sunlight has to go through [a] longer distance in the atmosphere, so there’s more chance for the light to scatter; more particles to interact with,” Tolich said. “The shorter wavelength light tends to scatter

a lot more than the longer wavelength light. The blue ones are shorter, therefore blue ones have scattered before the light reaches you.” After shorter blue wavelengths scatter, the longer orange and red wavelengths are left and travel to the eye, creating the colors of the sunset that translate to the ideal, golden hour selfie lighting. Beyond the warm tones, golden hour also helps to eliminate those pesky pictureruining shadows. “I do a lot of portrait work, so with portraiture, having somebody’s nose cast a shadow on their cheek kind of distracts

from the photo,” Musafiri said. “Having an even balance of lighting is really important and that’s what golden hour gives you.” As the angle of the sun changes from directly above to lower in the west, the lighting changes. “If the sun is above your head and it’s beaming down, it’s going to cast a small shadow on your lip,” Musafiri said. “And if it’s more toward 3 p.m. and the suns lower, if I’m looking [forward] and the lighting is hitting [from the right] the shadows going to hit on the left side of your cheek, but if the sun is down, it just evenly shines everywhere.”

The last minutes of golden hour illuminate Red Square.

Lack of shadow and that warm hue can easily take a four to a 10. Add a fun caption and a quick VSCO edit and you are social media ready. Whether you are a photopro, an Instagram aficionado, or just a little bit of physics fanatic, golden hour is a pretty fascinating time of day. Plus, it makes you look hot.

is a little problematic. Sorry, I like ruining things. On a surface level, the term is just gross. “Body count” usually refers to the total number of people killed in a particular event. When someone asks about another person’s body count, they are almost definitely not referring to the number of kills, but the question might spark a desire to increase that number by one. I love a good analogy as much as the next dork who wants to be a writer, but comparing sex and violence, especially violence that results in death, is not cute. It makes something healthy and natural sound deadly and grotesque. Maybe I’m alone in this, but I actually don’t want to think of my sex partners as dead bodies; just a little “you are a human being and I respect you” thing. A man might think a “high” body count earns him a silk robe fit for Hugh Heffner (women don’t get robes, they get slut-

shamed), but it just kind of makes you sound like a serial killer. And not to kink shame, but I really hope you’re not into serial killers. Personal qualms about necrophilia aside, the question of body count often catalyzes a conversation about what “qualifies” as sex. Body count is the number of people you have had sex with, but often people don’t include encounters sans penetrative sex in this census. A heterosexual person might have a pretty clear, pretty penis-powered idea of what constitutes as sex, but penis-in-vagina sex is not a comprehensive or inclusive definition of sex. Heteronormativity just in: We put too much stock in the cock. For queer people, sex might look different than penis-invagina sex, and that’s okay. The presence of a penis is not the legitimizer of sexual contact. There is no such thing as “full sex” or “proper sex” or “real sex.” The sex you are having,

regardless of the parts and the acts involved, is just as “full” and “proper” and “real” as any other consensual sex. Count accordingly. So, body count has gross associations with death and also can exclude queer people. If that’s not enough to inspire a different get-to-know-you question, consider this: Body count doesn’t matter. You’re not really learning anything new. At least when you ask someone’s favorite color, you can better pick out a pair of socks for their last-minute birthday gift. What are going to do with a body count? Get them a pair of socks for every partner? No. You’re going to react, and I can’t imagine that reaction being unproblematic. When a man runs out of fingers counting up sexual partners, he’s high-fived. When a woman does the same, she’s shamed. We use body count as an unfair and unequal assessment of character. We’d be better off judging each other

based on zodiac signs. So rarely does a single number work as an accurate composite for an entire person; not weight, not grades, and certainly not body count. Find more interesting, less problematic questions to get conversation flowing. Ask me about my career goals and how they are influenced by capitalism. Ask me about my favorite meme and the way humor changes from generation to generation. Ask me about history and what lies I learned in school. Ask me what different emojis mean to me and how digital communication has affected my relationships. Ask me about my first love, or better yet, ask me about my friends; you won’t be able to shut me up. I love to talk, and I love to talk about just about anything. Just don’t ask me about my body count. Reach columnist Hannah Krieg at wellness@dailyuw.com. Twitter: @Hannah_krieg

Information deficiency is a barrier to opioid treatment in prisons and jails By Aliyah Musaliar Contributing Writer Medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) — methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone — have been linked to lower mortality rates. But despite their effectiveness, they are currently underutilized for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. Because of this, American prisoners lack avenues to recover from opioid abuse, which has devastating effects on the communities who are most often incarcerated. Nonviolent drug offenders constitute a large portion of the U.S. prison population, largely due to the “War on Drugs.” This campaign, started by President Nixon in the 1970s, functioned to incarcerate those with substance abuse disorders under the guise of reducing the proliferation of illicit substances. Almost half a century later, the prohibition of illegal drugs has objectively failed in its goal to reduce the expansion of such

drugs while placing vulnerable populations at disproportionate health risks. A study led by researcher Caleb Banta-Green at UW’s Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute explored potential ways in which intervention in opioid substance abuse could continue for incarcerated individuals after their release from prison. Participants in the study who went through the “treatment decision making intervention” (TDM) were more likely to take medication for OUD upon release. TDM is a process in which trained researchers and accompanying staff facilitate discussions with a patient surrounding potential avenues of care, whether those be through medication, social support, and/ or outpatient and inpatient care. Mandy Owens, a research scientist at the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute, notes that the present study addresses the need to move beyond an abstinenceonly detox structure. Being isolated through incarceration

often means that someone will have negative long-term health outcomes. “Most jails are not providing our front-line treatment for opioid disorder,” Owens said. Not only has isolation-based practice been shown to not be effective in addressing public health, its maintenance can produce dangerous results. Providing medicated opioid treatment addressed some of the dangerous results. “The importance of providing the option for these treatments in these facilities is because of the high rise of overdose when people get released home,” Owens said. Former inmates are 10 times more likely to die during an overdose than individuals who have never been incarcerated. There is overwhelming evidence in support of medication-based treatment for OUD, so why hasn’t it been implemented on a wide scale? Stigma. There is no requirement for those who are in positions of

Cassidy Pearson @cassidypearson power within law enforcement, who shape treatment in jails and prisons (or the lack thereof in many cases), to have education on evidence-based treatment methods [CQ-interview]. Owens provides training to facilities and works to break down the information gap between medical professionals and law enforcement actors. Translating statistics to action involves communication, according to Owens.

“We’ve been doing a number of training with jails and prisons, and there’s just something about having a face-to-face conversation about it,” Owens said. “We can’t just show people the data and expect it to change.” This isn’t unique to OUD treatments within prisons. Safe injection sites continue to face barriers, despite research suggesting they promote positive health outcomes. READ MORE AT dailyuw.com

From the Archives By Josh Kirshenbaum The Daily

A history of pandemics at UW

The front page of the Oct. 4, 1918, edition of The Seattle Star featured what’s known in the newspaper business as a hammer headline, declaring in massive, all-caps letters: “Austria Rocks!” to accompany the following pages of content on World War I. On the left side of the page, below the hammer, in letters much smaller, sat another headline: “Spanish Flu Takes First Victims Here.” The next day, above the hammer, above even The Star’s own name, there was an urgent update about how mayor Ole Hanson ordered theaters, schools, and churches closed as “sudden spread of Spanish Influenza forces city officials to take drastic steps.” Over the coming days, that space of the front page seemed to be reserved for influenza updates. By Oct. 10, the top of The Star’s front page was given to instructions from the National Conference of Army, Navy, and Civilian Doctors, including a 10step process of what to do if you were sick. Influenza had come to Seattle through the UW. As September ended, a train of cadets from Philadelphia — one of the cities hit hardest by the disease — arrived at the naval camp that had just been set up on the shores of Lake Washington, en route to Camp Lewis in Tacoma.

In the first week of October, George Dewey Allain became the first to die on campus. With the specter of the Great War hanging over all facets of life, many newspapers had to deal with censorship, including reporting on the pandemic. At the UW, which briefly became as much of a naval base as it was a college, The Daily didn’t print anything about the disease until Nov. 7, when it ran the headline “[UW] wins fight with ‘flu’ on campus.” The article credited quarantines for beating the virus. Lewis and Clark Halls, which at the time were women’s dorms, were converted into impromptu hospitals; the Nov. 18 edition of The Daily featured pictures of the building with the headline: “We’re in the army now.” The university did its best to keep cadets on campus and all students off it, asking noncadets to stay home, canceling non-military classes, and posting armed guards at campus entrances to keep visitors out. According to the piece, out of 1,700 cases of influenza, there were 33 deaths, “as far as is known one of the smallest death rates among the training camps in the country.” It was also more than a little premature. The Nov. 18 paper also ran an article about how there wouldn’t be any dances scheduled to limit the spread of the disease. On Dec. 4, the paper ran a reminder: “Those with

By that point, though, the wave of pandemic was slowing down as quarantines took effect. Lewis and Clark went back to being dorms for students by the spring. Ninety-one years later, another pandemic flu came to Seattle in the form of swine flu.

Before fall quarter started, there were two confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus at a sorority, and WSU saw the largest outbreak on a college campus in the nation. As school began, the university began handing out “student flu care kits,” plastic bags with Tylenol, disposable thermometers, throat lozenges, and hand sanitizer. As a vaccine for H1N1 was developed, Campus Health Services ordered enough doses

OPINION

The Daily Opinion // 11

Editorial Coronavirus is cause for concern, not chaos By The Daily Editorial Board Last week, the UW administration made the decision to cancel in-person classes and exams for the remainder of winter quarter due to growing concerns about the novel coronavirus outbreak. The UW is the first major university to take such action due to COVID-19. As coronavirus spreads rapidly across Washington state, students and others in the UW community must be aware of the true public health concern that the virus causes. Washington state has reported the most cases in the United States, putting our university at the epicenter of the outbreak. Research has shown that young people are not considered high-risk; we have been told that we do not need to be worried because the likelihood of collegeaged individuals contracting a serious case of COVID-19 is low. However, our campus community is composed of more than just young, healthy students. People over 60-years-old are considered high-risk and have the highest reported coronavirus death rate. Immunocompromised

individuals, or those who have a weakened immune system, are more likely to contract a serious illness. There are students and staff who have both visible and invisible factors that have the possibility of compromising their immune systems, such as diabetes, cancer, and other chronic health conditions. Certain medications may also impact how one’s immune system functions. It is our responsibility to create a safe environment for everyone during this scary time. It must be made clear that there is a health threat in the air right now; however, this is not the zombie apocalypse. We have a tendency to try to categorize actions and reactions as black or white, terrifying or nonthreatening when, right now, we are experiencing a pandemic that is somewhere in the middle. The amount of media attention that the coronavirus is receiving can make us feel bombarded with pessimistic information. Coronavirus is a buzzword, but it is justified considering the impact it is having on our community and the world at large. Pay attention, but don’t let it overwhelm you. While there are plans to begin spring quarter March

Abigail Dahl @abigailgracedahl 30 as scheduled, this is subject to change based on how the coronavirus progresses over the next few weeks. As we head into spring break, wash your hands and cover your coughs as you travel home. For more information about what campus resources will be available during the campus closure, please refer to this article.

If you have confirmed or are suspected to have COVID-19, please follow the suggestions given by Seattle and King County Public Health.

Menchavez: Risk the coronavirus or fail a class?

UW’s response to coronavirus didn’t prioritize students’ safety

By Andre Lawes Menchavez The Daily Editor’s Note: Living in today’s world as a queer person of color has made it clear that spaces are dominated by and fundamentally for white folks. In an effort to reclaim power and uplift marginalized communities, this column acts as a step to holding institutions of power like the UW accountable. Last week, students were pushed to decide between risking their health and wellbeing by attending class or staying home to protect themselves, missing critical information for finals and losing participation points. I was forced to go to campus for a mandatory in-person submission of my midterm paper. This meant that as a commuter student, I had to risk my own health and take public transit in the midst of a virus outbreak in order to get a grade. This is an issue.

The student body received emails early last week from President Ana Mari Cauce and vice provost and dean of undergraduate academic affairs Ed Taylor addressing student panic regarding the novel coronavirus or COVID-19. However, there was no decision to close campus despite the rising rates of COVID-19 diagnoses in our county. It wasn’t until a UW staff member tested positive for COVID-19 that the UW decided to take action. This reactionary decision-making has put students at risk. Prior to the campus closure, many students expressed fear about the lack of precautionary measures taken. “I feel more and more unsafe with the UW not taking any actions, especially when we have to go to big classes with hundreds of people,” freshman Angelia Cao said in an email. “You never know. Anybody could be a potential carrier of the virus

and if they don’t wear masks, then more and more people will get infected.” Regardless of this fear, students still felt pressured to attend classes. “Being a first-year student in fairly competitive classes, I definitely had a lot of worries about going to class,” freshman Lorenzo DeLeon said. “Most of my classes had ways to keep track of participation, and I was conflicted over whether to maximize my points and learning from classes or to prioritize the health of myself and others.” Some students considered this lack of action as a disservice to students and the community in regard to decreasing COVID-19 exposure. “UW should do all the things they can to help students avoid the risks, or they are condoning the possibility of tragedy,” freshman Wenyi Qiu said in an email last week. “I really worried about missing the important parts of my classes that may show up in my finals. It pushed me to go to class, even though I was worried about the coronavirus every single second.” Cauce spoke to the student senate last week and discussed how she wanted to ensure there were no “incentives to come in [or] for there not to be any kind of ‘punishment’ if they don’t come in.” However, allowing the campus to continue running and not enforcing a strict policy from faculty and staff gives too much room for error. Students were

forced to possibly sacrifice their health to keep up with the fast pace of the quarter system. Faculty and staff were also not complying with Cauce’s orders. When I asked sophomore Regent Su if her professors altered the course last week in the midst of the virus outbreak, she said only one of her three classes were moved online. “The other two classes have mandatory attendance, which made me need to go to classes with around 50 to 80 other people,” Su said in an email last week. “There are people in my classes that cough without covering and that stresses me out considering the situation right now.” Although students are not the age demographic most affected by this virus, faculty and staff needed to ensure the safety of their students and consider the virus on a broader scope. Junior Anna Lee, a neuroscience major, agreed. “Some professors are simply in denial,” Lee said. “Like if they don’t see symptoms, then the outbreak won’t happen or others think that we can’t contract it because the undergraduate population is of younger people. I, as part of the young population, could still give the disease to a friend, who could give it to her immunocompromised mother, or I could give the disease to a friend without health insurance. Grades can be made up. Health can’t.” The decision to cancel campus operations on Friday

a week after the outbreak is reactionary and irresponsible. As students panic about whether or not they have been infected as well, there is only now an increased possibility since the COVID-19 positive staff member worked at Roosevelt Commons East right next to campus. “From my perspective, the reason why my home country of Taiwan can control the spread [of the coronavirus] is that once they noticed the outbreak in China, everyone was alarmed and knew that we had to protect ourselves and others,” freshman Abby Chiu said in an email last week. “I think UW is just waiting until something is really serious or for someone to be tested positive to take action.” Chiu was right. As in-person classes are canceled for the rest of March and the coronavirus continues to spread, it’s important that we take note of this instance as yet another time student safety was not prioritized. Students spend massive amounts of money to be here and deserve to have the UW be responsible for the students it profits off of. No student should fear coming to campus and no student should have to sacrifice their wellbeing for a grade. Reach columnist Andre Lawes Menchavez at opinion@dailyuw.com. Twitter: @itsjustdrey
