The UA is looking to step up its government lobbying efforts at the local, state and federal levels. At the moment, the UA is focused on establishing its presence at the federal level in Washington, D.C., said Tim Bee, senior associate vice president for legislative and community relations. The first step involves the UA’s federal lobbyist, Shay D. Stautz, associate vice president for federal relations, permanently moving to D.C. He had previously been commuting between Tucson and the capital. “Our primary purpose is to better enhance our presence in D.C., so we can better compete for the federal research funds and track legislation that affects us,” Bee said. “What we do at the Capitol affects students and the faculty.” In D.C., the UA will vie for funding for research from the

Senate reforms merge process BY STEPHANIE CASANOVA

The Daily Wildcat Faculty Senate members approved an amended version of a proposal that will implement new guidelines for reorganizing and merging academic units at the UA on Monday. After rewording and amending the proposal in the previous two meetings, the senate passed a process for combining departments or schools at the university that requires those who propose a merger of departments, colleges or schools to discuss the proposal with the heads, deans or provosts and non-administrative faculty of the affected parties. A selected planning committee will also work with members of the Faculty Senate. The committee will continuously receive feedback from members of affected parties as it analyzes the impact of merging. The committee will present a draft and hold a

the university’s grievance policy intended to be voted on was tabled at the meeting. The university’s grievance policy calls for tenured professors who have been recommended for dismissal or suspension without pay to go through a process to appeal the suspension or dismissal.

The university’s Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure holds hearings for faculty members who wish to go through an appeal process. While CAFT doesn’t make final decisions on grievance cases, it does make recommendations to Hart. Patricia Hoyer, former chair of CAFT, stood before the Faculty Senate asking them to vote for two gate-keeping steps before a grievance case gets a formal hearing. The proposal to amend the committee’s bylaws suggested the implementation of a Grievance Clearinghouse Committee to review and decide whether the case should be heard by CAFT. Once approved by the new committee, CAFT would meet with the faculty member informally and discuss whether a formal hearing is necessary. Hoyer said the committee proposed the

The Daily Wildcat UA students have the opportunity to “wear the world” this Wednesday and Thursday when the clothing company Serengetee comes to campus for a trunk sale in the UofA Bookstore. Serengetee was co-founded by UA alumnus Ryan Westberg after his semester abroad took him to countries across the world. The Semester at Sea program brought Westberg together with Jeff Steitz, the other co-founder. The two launched the company three months after they returned. “We started buying fabrics from each of the countries we visited,” Westberg said. “We took these fabrics and we made them into pockets on T-shirts, and because we had seen the problems in these countries, we decided we wanted a charitable aspect as well.” The company donates 5 percent of every sale to one of 32 causes currently supported by Serengetee. Each fabric supports a charity that helps the region the fabric was purchased from. Serengetee also supports local artisans from countries around the world by buying materials for fabric weavers and buying the product they make, Westberg said. “We’re empowering people in these countries, but also giving back to charities within the region,” Westberg said. Grant Suman, an operations management junior, said it’s impressive that Westberg and his friends were able to start up a successful company in college. “I think it’s really cool how they’re able to give back, all the while being an entrepreneurial spirit coming from the university,” Suman said. “They graduate and that’s what they’re doing, that’s their primary job.” The company has expanded rapidly in the past

A club on campus is looking to make students aware of the environmental impact of palm oil use. The UA Palm Oil Awareness Initiative was founded by Stacey Tecot, an assistant professor in the School of Anthropology, and Kim Kelly, an anthropology graduate student, when they began looking into the environmental damage caused by palm oil plantations. Tecot originally discussed the subject of palm oil in relation to the destruction of orangutans’ habitats in her primate sexuality course, but she soon learned that there was more to the production of the oil than just deforestation. “More recently, as I started researching a little bit more about palm oil, I found out that it’s not just about threatening endangered species, it’s also about forced child labor and slavery,” Tecot said. “People are being treated really poorly; they’re paid about 2 cents an hour for their work and they’re living in really awful conditions.” Kelly said that the more she and Tecot learned about the palm oil issue, the more concerned they became. “Stacey and I talked about this, and the more we thought our way through this issue, the more we realized that we couldn’t just sit on the sidelines and watch this,” Kelly said in an email. For this reason, Tecot and Kelly

founded the UAPOAI with the purpose of bringing palm oil issues to people’s attention. Tecot said the club believes that it is a relevant issue because the United States is the largest importer of palm oil in the world, as it uses the ingredient in many products. “It’s used in fuels, it’s used in cleaning products and makeup and toiletries and food and all other places,” Tecot said.

said. “I have some friends who go to school at Georgetown [University], and they see Serengetee all over the place.” Serengetee is also working to get celebrity sponsors signing up, like Tyler Posey of MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” “[Tyler] was looking for a fun way to give back to a cause he’s passionate about,” Westberg said. Like Posey, Westberg was looking to raise money for the philanthropy of his old fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. Westberg is bringing Serengetee to the UA to raise funds for Saturday’s 13th annual Lute

Olsen Cancer Center Run, which supports cancer research. Westberg said 5 dollars from every item sold at the trunk sale will go directly to the cause. The company’s products can also be charged to a bursar’s account to make buying more convenient for students. Campbell, also a member of PIKE, said that Westberg was happy to help raise money for the fraternity’s philanthropic cause. “He’s still aware of all the stuff that we do,” Campbell said. “It wasn’t so much we had to reach out to him and get him to do it, he was willing to help.” The trunk sale at the UA is the first college sale the company has

held, Westberg said, but there are plans to travel around the country next fall in a tailgate tour to advertise to colleges. Westberg said Serengetee focuses on advertising to college students because of the company message of giving back. “College kids are so passionate,” Westberg said. “We gave them a platform to buy a cool product, but also to create a story with that product, to buy a fabric from around the world attached to a cause you like.”

changes due to the cost of hearings, not just the financial cost but also the emotional cost of the faculty member bringing the grievance and possible witnesses in the hearings. “These hearings are extremely expensive,” Hoyer said. “So it’s really beneficial to cut down on the numbers.” Sen. Laura McCammon said she was concerned about the proposal’s priorities and about CAFT’s focus money rather than faculty members’ rights. Sen. Andrew Silverman said he didn’t understand why there’s a

need for gatekeeping procedures if few cases get hearings, as CAFT only hears two cases a year on average. Some senate members also argued the proposal would make it more difficult for faculty members to be fairly heard. Continuing disagreement led to Sen. Marlys Witte’s proposal to end the discussion and move on to voting on the new department merger process. “We have to look at whether we want to create more obstacles for faculty to grieve,” Witte said. “So I would go against the change in policy.”

Exiled destitute deserve visibility BY Shelby Thomas The Daily Wildcat

fter “complaints of aggressive panhandling and unruliness” drew police attention to Veinte de Agosto Park in downtown Tucson, authorities altered laws pertaining to where in the park homeless people are permitted to sleep. According to an article in the Arizona Daily Star, sleeping in the picnic table area or on the steps at the east end of the park is now off limits. The homeless will also no longer be able to bring more than a sleeping bag or water bottle to the park at night. I felt my stomach turn when I read this article, but not because the law is shocking or unprecedented. In fact, it is repulsively unsurprising. This probably isn’t the first time the homeless have faced restrictions in a Tucson park, and I doubt these regulations will drastically affect the lives of this marginalized community. But that’s the most disturbing part of this situation: This law changes absolutely nothing and simply hides a problem instead of fixing it. Many mainstream members of society are uncomfortable with those “below” them visibly reaching out. Plus, apparent homelessness is bad for business, so let’s just pass a law to keep them out of the way, right? The current stigma that surrounds the homeless suggests that this is an appropriate response. So these men and women will pick up their few belongings and drift to a new location until a new law is enforced and the cycle repeats itself, forcing many to continue living in unsanitary and dangerous conditions. The Center for Problem-Oriented Policies reported that the spread of foodborne diseases, along with dental and skin problems, occurs because of the poor conditions in these encampments. The report also states that there are high rates of childhood and past sexual abuse among the homeless. Worse, the homeless experience heightened levels of violent crime compared to the general population, and the violence will only increase as time goes on. Thus, the passing of this new law barely touches on a much larger social problem and further confirms society’s unwillingness to acknowledge physical, emotional and mental health care needs that are not being met. In the article, Tucson Police Department Captain Jim Webb states that the sleeping homeless will be left alone as long as they leave a 5 foot-wide path on the sidewalk. Webb wants to make sure that nonhomeless people have room to pass, and pass by they will. The nature of this new law reflects a “look the other way” mentality that is all too common in society. If rights of the homeless are truly a concern, perhaps we should be discussing the basic human rights that many homeless people are without, instead of shuffling them around and telling them which pavement is acceptable for them to sleep on. Zach Young, a student majoring in French and pre-neuroscience and cognitive science, said he recognizes this a major flaw in our society. “You can lose your job and have to eat out of a dumpster and sleep in an alleyway,” Young said. “I don’t feel that it’s right that this can even be an option … that this can be a thing that happens. That is a failure.” While Arizona, and the entire nation for that matter, still has a long way to go in reclaiming its lost sense of human compassion, Phoenix recently made significant improvement. The city has removed all chronically homeless veterans from the streets through the construction of temporary residences and the promise of permanent housing for these individuals, according to the New York Times. This accomplishment has brought the U.S. one step closer to the White House’s nationwide goal of ending homelessness by 2020. But the success story can’t end here. Whether by reaching out through volunteer organizations or just by offering up a sandwich, we must stop ignoring the issue. Somehow, society has reached a point where seeing a person — a human being — begging for food, streaked with dirt and down on their luck is OK, normal, acceptable. Let’s not forget the qualities that make us unique as humans: compassion, sympathy and love. No one should be invisible. — Shelby Thomas is a sophomore studying family studies and human development and Spanish. Follow her @shelbyalayne

Low-bar Bechdel Test projects perpetually 2-D film females BY MAURA HIGGS

The Daily Wildcat

left the theater exhilarated after seeing “Frozen.” It was totally fulfilling and yet not a traditional love story — focusing on sisterly love rather than the romantic kind. But unfortunately, such multi-layered portrayals of women are far and few between. In the film and feminist communities, there’s already an accepted set of criteria to address this problem. The Bechdel Test, created by cartoonist Alison Bechdel in 1985, sets three guidelines for better female representation in movies. First, the movie has to have at least two named women in it. Second, the women have to talk to each other. Lastly, that conversation has to be about anything other than a man. The Bechdel Test provides some decent basic guidelines for the representation of women, but it is simply not complex enough. Briefly treating women like they are human, giving them names and

a few lines is not enough proof of realism. With such simple guidelines, the test seems to set a very low bar, suggesting that most movies could easily surpass them. In fact, only about 24 of the top 50 grossing movies of 2013 passed the test at all, and several of those 24 just scraped the bar. While 17 of the movies, including “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and “Elysium,” definitely passed, the other seven — including “Iron Man 3” and “The Great Gatsby” — were considered questionable due to the nature of the dialogue between the women. The truth is that women are simply underrepresented in the entertainment industry as a whole, both on screen and off. Of the top 50 grossing movies from 2013, only one had a female director. Her codirector was a man. While women purchase half of the movie tickets sold in the United States, only 30.8 percent of the actual speaking characters in films are women. A third of the women shown on screen are scantily clad. Female audiences are expressing their desire to see this change with their cash. Of the top 50 grossing movies last year, the 24 movies that passed the test collectively grossed

a whopping $4.22 billion at the box office, while the 26 movies that didn’t pass made a total of only $2.66 billion. $1.56 billion is not a difference for companies to shake their heads at. If more filmmakers begin to recognize the financial incentive to pass the Bechdel Test, we might begin to see more passing films. Sweden is actually incorporating the Bechdel into its ratings system. But even if all filmmakers start using the test as their final guideline for defining whether their movies are female friendly, we’re going to keep seeing onscreen exclusion. Even Bechdel believes that her test addresses concerns from 30 years ago. “I just can’t seem to rise to the occasion of talking about this fundamental principle over and over again, as if it’s somehow new, or open to debate,” she wrote. Movie audiences agree. “It’s way too vague to be an accurate test for how gender is portrayed in a work,” Karen Cruz, a history and neuroscience sophomore, said. She’s right: good female representation means giving us characters of different races, different backgrounds and different sexualities.

While the Bechdel Test checks for the existence of women in movies, it does not judge the complexity of their portrayals. “Gravity,” for instance, had a complex, real woman on screen for its entire run-time, but didn’t pass the Bechdel Test. “American Hustle,” which strongly sexualized its female characters, does. We can improve this by asking more of our movies. Do the women in the movie overcome some obstacle that is not related to their love life? Do the women form relationships other than romantic ones? Are the women diverse? I want to see all types of women. I want to see women I can aspire to be and women I can relate to. I want to ask myself when I come out of a movie if I’ve seen women I could be friends with or even just respect. We can pick our own questions, create our own tests and support movies that pass with our cash. Hopefully, that way, we can all have more “Frozen” experiences. — Maura Higgs is a neuroscience and cognitive sciences sophomore. Follow her @maurahiggs

Opinions columnists get back to basics with Q&A on hot-button issues Hermione Granger: Team Ron or Team Harry?

Kat Hermanson

Brittany rudolph

Harry Potter is a book series and nothing more to me. I read it and I enjoyed it. I moved on with my life; I don’t understand why others don’t.

I’d have to go with Team Harry, just so I could see J.K. Rowling write a sequel titled, “The Real Chamber of Secrets: Harry and Hermione’s Extramarital, Middle-Aged Affair.”

Hermione should be with Ron, of course! For Emma Watson, however, Team Kat all the way.

Which is the best building on campus?

KH: The Gender and Women’s Studies building is the most unique building I’ve seen at UA. It’s a converted motel, complete with colorful courtyard furniture and bathtubs in the genderneutral restrooms; a perfect place to bask in the sun and read.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, what?

What’s the most important thing you read this week?

Kh: Just angsty enough, just

Kh: “The ceiling isn’t glass, it’s a very dense layer of men.”

handsome enough, just a bit too hairy.

BR: He has doe eyes, which

makes him less scary than probably appropriate. But I routinely skipped comic books 101 in elementary school, so I’m no expert.

BR: The Poetry Center! It’s a beautiful, quiet

space to either experience poetry or just to sit and study. I just wrote about it, but it deserves the attention!

KS: I don’t really like Jesse Eisenberg’s

actually really captivating. Thinking about how the story has survived thousands of years is mind-blowing and really speaks to the power of literature to connect us to the past.

Police Beat BY JAzmine foster-hall

The Daily Wildcat

Ashtray

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested in the courtyard of Coronado Residence Hall on Jan. 28 at 4:15 a.m. for possession of drug paraphernalia and an outstanding warrant from the Tucson Police Department. While patrolling Euclid Avenue, a University of Arizona Police Department officer noticed a man with a flashlight near the bike racks in the courtyard of Coronado. As the officer approached, the man was picking cigarettes out of ashtrays. The officer spoke to the man, who identified himself. The officer told him he couldn’t go through dumpsters or ashtrays on UA property. The officer then performed a records check and found that the man had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant from the TPD. The officer handcuffed the man and asked if he was carrying anything the officer should know about. The man said he had a marijuana pipe. The officer searched him and found a pipe with marijuana residue in the man’s jacket pocket. The pipe was placed into evidence. The man was then taken to Pima County Adult Detention Center and booked for the TPD warrant and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Hot dog break

A window was broken in a hot dog stand near the Nugent building on Jan. 28 at 7:26 p.m. A UAPD officer was dispatched to the hot dog stand, owned by Common Grounds Espresso Co., after reports of a broken window. The officer located the broken window, which was part of a refrigerator door. The window was double paned, both of which were shattered, and had an insulating sheet that was found across the counter. The officer noticed no latent fingerprints or trace evidence. The officer interviewed two witnesses, who said they saw two men at the hot dog stand. The first was a short white man with long black hair. The witnesses said he punched the window and shattered both panes, then ripped out the insulating sheet and threw it, but did not take any items. He then ran westbound with the second person a tall, husky white man. The second subject did not damage anything, but accompanied the first subject. Staff from the Student Union Memorial Center arrived to take the food products from the stand for temporary storage. The general maintenance mechanic on duty arrived, unplugged the broken machine and put caution tape around it, due to the broken glass. The officer took photographs of the damage for evidence.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Adjusting to life without Ashley UA could play the four remaining starters more and/or give minutes to reserves to fill void left after Brandon Ashley’s season-ending injury

BY EVAN ROSENFELD

The Daily Wildcat After losing a key piece of its offensive puzzle, its first game of the year and its No. 1 rank, the Arizona men’s basketball team will try to recompose itself. Freshman forward Rondae HollisJefferson will become the Wildcats’ new starting forward, while reserves sophomore guard Gabe York, junior forward Matt Korcheck, senior guard Jordin Mayes and freshman guard Elliott Pitts will also receive more minutes for No. 2 UA. “Adversity seems to strike all teams at some level in a long season — sometimes it’s more severe than others,” head coach Sean Miller said. “We all recognize we lost one of our key players.” Arizona lost sophomore starting forward Brandon Ashley to a season-ending foot injury in the opening minutes of the UA’s 60-58 loss at Cal. “It sucks, but we’re going to have to move on,” point guard T.J. McConnell said. “Guys are going to have to step up and people are going to have to play more minutes. We feel bad for Brandon, but as a team, we’ve got to move on and get ready for Oregon.” McConnell said that, coming off a loss, practice would be tougher this week but that the team is eager and ramped up to play. Sophomore center Kaleb Tarczewski said that while it’s obviously disappointing to lose a key player like Ashley, he thinks the whole team could look at it as an opportunity for those who haven’t had much playing time to get a little more, and for those who are playing to have a bigger role on the team. “I think if we stay focused and work hard this week in practice, that we will be fine,” Tarczewski said.

TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

FRESHMAN FORWARD Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (23) and sophomore forward Brandon Ashley (21) pressure a Ute. Hollis-Jefferson will move into the starting lineup since Ashley suffered a season-ending foot injury on Saturday.

Miller said that nobody on this year’s squad has averaged more than 31.5 minutes per game, but each of the team’s current everyday players is willing to play more to fill the gap left by Ashley. There are 13 players from eight teams in the Pac-12 who have played more than 32 minutes a game. “If we did nothing different other than just give the players that have played, minus Brandon, more of an opportunity, that’s [already] part of our solution,” Miller said. Miller said that Korcheck and a dual threat comprised of Pitts and Mayes could be used when starters become fatigued or are in foul trouble. Korcheck, who redshirted last year, has waited for this opportunity, and Miller praised him for his hard work and physical play.

“When he’s out there for spot minutes or short-term opportunities, physically, we don’t lose much because he defends, he’s physical, and he plays hard,” Miller said. “Pitts, like Matt, has practiced hard everyday, and Jordin Mayes has played a lot of basketball in his career; [although] maybe not as much this year.” Hollis-Jefferson is the final and most important piece to the puzzle for a deep tournament run. The former sixth-man will eat up the bulk of the minutes left by Ashley and has already carried his weight this year offensively and has averaged 8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game over an average 23.5 minutes in 22 appearances and two starts. “Those guys will be part of the solution, but I think the biggest part [will be] Rondae [Hollis-

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Jefferson], for example, who played 23 minutes a game — there’s no question he’s capable of playing 30,” Miller said. “I think the first guy you’ll notice playing more is him.” With only nine games remaining of the regular season until the postseason begins, Miller is confident that Arizona will still be as competitive as ever. “A lot of basketball is behind us,” Miller said. “We are fortunate that we have been relatively healthy from start to game 21; it’s just game 22 changed quickly. “That’s what makes team sports in particular so dynamic. With this, we have to make up for his loss in a number of different ways, and I have no doubt that we can do that.”

The Daily Wildcat After losing two more Pac12 conference games, the struggling Arizona women’s basketball team has the chance to make a quick turnaround after playing ASU tonight. The Wildcats (4-17, 0-10) travel to Tempe, Ariz. to take on rival No. 11 Arizona State (19-3, 8-2) at 7:30 p.m. The Wildcats haven’t won since December, having lost all 10 of their conference games so far and have yet another tough matchup with the Sun Devils. The game will be on the Pac-12 Networks. ASU comes in to the game near the top of the conference in several major statistical categories such as points per game (third with 75.3), field goal percentage (second with 43.9 percent) and assists per game (third with 15.55).

BY JOEY PUTRELO The Daily Wildcat

f you’re the kind of sports fan who wants to watch the game alone, it’s a tough life in the UA Residence Halls. Especially because ESPN, ESPN 2 and FOX Sports 1 aren’t a part of your channel listing. According to Dana Robbins-Murray, assistant director of marketing for Residence Life, the cable in the residence halls was just upgraded to digital, and the sports packages were taking up 40 percent of the cable expense. Residence Life conducted a survey asking students what they watch, and the poll showed students weren’t watching sports in their dorm rooms. Residence Life was unable to provide the actual numbers of the survey, and Robbins-Murray said she was never given the information. Without ESPN or ESPN 2 in their rooms, students are missing extremely popular informative programs such as SportsCenter and prime-time college football and basketball, NBA and MLB games and Monday Night Football. No FS1 means never being able to tune in to FOX Sports Live, a slightly different spin on ESPN’s SportsCenter. There are 13 regular season men’s basketball games on ESPN, ESPN 2 or Fox Sports 1, and potentially three more on FS1 during the Pac-12 tournament. UA Residence Life at least carries ESPNU, CBS Sports Network, the Pac-12 Network and the NFL Network on its cable list. Regardless, it is impossible to satisfy the full needs of a sports fan here without making ESPN, ESPN 2 or FS1 available to watch. Students living in the dorms have an option to watch ESPN, ESPN 2 and FS1 on at least one television in every residence hall. “I think students like watching the games in the TV lounges rather in their rooms because it makes it more of a community event,” Robbins-Murray said. But that is definitely not always the case. “It’s upsetting that my friends and I have to go out and watch the games [on ESPN and ESPN 2] with a whole bunch of people instead of just watching it with a few in someone’s room,” said Pranav Balaji, a pre-physiology freshman living in

MEN’S BASKETBALL

UA still tops Pac-12 power rankings BY LUKE DELLA The Daily Wildcat

1. No. 2 Arizona (21-1, 8-1 Pac-12 Conference)

A last-second, buzzer-beating road loss to a good California team won’t drop Arizona that far. However, losing Brandon Ashley for the season could. The Wildcats are fortunate enough to be able to slide Rondae Hollis-Jefferson into the starting rotation and have enough depth to where they can still go big or fast, depending on the situation.

2. California (15-7, 6-3)

Despite knocking off the No. 1 school in the nation, we can’t forget that the Golden Bears still have lost three of their previous four games, which included an eight-point loss on the road at USC and an 11-point loss at home in overtime to ASU. Teams who always play up or down to their competition should be in question as fakes.

3. UCLA (17-5, 6-3)

If it weren’t for the Golden Bears defeating Arizona, the Bruins would be in a better place for second-ranked team in the power rankings. UCLA has the talent on offense to finish the conference with the best record — it’s a shame it will only play Arizona once this season.

4. Stanford (14-7, 5-4)

The Cardinal was just a shot or two away from defeating Arizona three days before California. Head coach Johnny Dawkins has his team playing its best basketball as the season progresses. The team has put together a nice résumé, but will it be able to keep it up with an increasingly challenging schedule?

Marshall in the lineup — the 6-foot-4 guard didn’t play against the Wildcats on Jan. 16 due to an injury. If they can stay the course and take advantage of an injured Arizona team on Feb. 14 at home they might sneak their way into the tournament.

6. Colorado (16-6, 5-4)

Without Spencer Dinwiddie the Buffaloes appear to be a middle of the road conference team. Xavier Johnson said after the loss to Arizona on Jan. 23 that Colorado would beat the Wildcats the next time they played on Feb. 22. Maybe if he stepped up his own game, Colorado wouldn’t have to be worried about getting payback.

7. Oregon State (13-8, 5-4)

The Beavers don’t have many super stars on their team, but the name Langston Morris-Walker is one to keep in mind. MorrisWalker is an underrated defensive player who is on the rise.

8. Utah (14-7, 3-6)

Can the Utes win a road game? Utah is 14-1 at home but 0-6 on the road.

9. Oregon (15-6, 3-6)

The Ducks are in dire need of a big win to turn the season around, Thursday at No. 2 Arizona is an opportunity.

10. Washington (13-9, 5-4)

C.J. Wilcox is an All-Conference shooter. Shawn Kemp Jr. is a huge disappointment.

11. USC (10-12, 1-8)

They beat California; Washington State didn’t.

12. Washington State (9-12, 2-7) Cougars have an OK defense.

5. ASU (16-6, 5-4)

This is where the conference takes a dramatic downswing. The Sun Devils are an above average team, especially with Jermaine

BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA

The Arizona men’s basketball team lost its first game of the season Saturday night when California defeated the Wildcats 60-58 on a last-second fadeaway jump shot. Arizona lost its status as one of the three undefeated teams in Division 1 and dropped down to No. 2 in the AP Top 25 poll. Syracuse now holds on to the No. 1 spot. Arizona starting sophomore forward Brandon Ashley went down with a foot injury in the first half of Saturday’s game against California and will be out for the remainder of the season. Arizona women’s basketball lost to Oregon State 64-50 on Sunday at McKale Center and now has a 10-game losing streak. Tonight it faces ASU, a team it has lost to five games in a row. The Arizona swimming and diving teams lost to Texas on Senior Day on Saturday at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. The Texas men defeated Arizona 194-153 and the Texas women defeated Arizona 196-157. After strong doubles, the Arizona men’s tennis team was not able to defeat No. 44 Boise State on Sunday. The UA lost 5-2 and dropped to a 5-5 record on the year.

The Daily Wildcat No. 14 Arizona hockey defeated No. 1 ASU on Saturday in Sun Devil territory. The Wildcats won 2-1 to end a 37-game winless streak against ASU. It is the first time in UA hockey history that the team has defeated two top-ranked teams in one season. Arizona had not beat ASU since February 2009. No. 13 Arizona gymnastics defeated the GymDawgs 196.500195.175 on Saturday night. The Gymcats scored its highest beam score of the season, 97.950. Arizona junior Shay Fox led Arizona with a score of 9.875, tying for first place in her first career title. Senior Lawi Lalang won the men’s 3,000-meter race when the Arizona No. 8 men’s and women’s track and field teams competed in Seattle on Saturday. Lalang finished with a time of 7:44.20, which is the No. 1 time in the country for the year. Lalang is the NCAA Champion in the event. Arizona women’s tennis team swept New Mexico State and San Francisco during its home double header on Sunday. Three Arizona baseball players, senior pitcher James Farris, sophomore infielder Kevin Newman and freshman infielder Bobby Dalbec, were named Top 50 prospects for their class by Baseball America.

Can cops tell that you are drunk by looking in your eyes?

A. of alcohol intoxication that police look for such as Oh, yeah! People have many presumptive signs

the smell of alcohol on someone’s breath or skin, being unusually passive or aggressive and/or having glazed or bloodshot eyes.

However, there is an even more definitive field sobriety test that police can administer that focuses on your eyes. This test is called Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN). HGN is one of three standardized field sobriety tests developed by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration to identify drunk drivers.

The Daily Wildcat is looking for student cartoonists and illustrators. To apply, email a resume and samples to Editor in Chief Sara Precup at editor@wildcat.arizona.edu

The Daily Wildcat

Nystagmus is a technical term for an involuntary jerking of the eyeball. And, a horizontal gaze nystagmus is a lateral jerking movement when a person looks towards the side. It occurs when there is an irregularity in the inner ear or because of a problem affecting motor control of the eye. Alcohol, inhalants and PCP are drugs that affect the brain’s ability to control eye muscles. The higher the alcohol content in the blood, the greater the nystagmus is. Research has shown that this test is very reliable in detecting blood alcohol content (BAC) levels of .10% or higher. However, HGN can also be used to detect lower BAC levels – as low as .05%. When an officer asks you to “follow their finger or a pen” as they move it from one side to the other of your face, they are looking for HGN. You can still be given a citation without having to blow a .08% – just by failing field sobriety tests alone. In conclusion, while it has been said that the eyes are the “gateway to the soul” they can also be the gateway to being busted.

Goes great with your morning coffee

The average person blinks 12 times/minute. At 0.3 seconds/blink, that comes out to 30 minutes/day.

ridiculous. Abbey Blackwell (Bass): I was reluctant at first because I had just woken up from a nap, but it was great. The last one I didn’t do a bird or dog, but I did a deformed platypus. MLP: It was a good one to end on. That is so ugly we can’t go any further. Describe the smell of your tour van. AB: Banana-y. MLP: Coffee. SC: Just a little bit like trash. What’s been your most “This is Spinal Tap” moment? SC: Every time we get a sort of confusing back room, I think about the scene where they get lost backstage because I’m really

bad with directions anyway. AB: Sometimes I feel that way about the amp scene. I’m kind of learning about amps right now. I just bought a new amp. What’s next for La Luz, especially now that Abbey is leaving the band? SC: We’re touring down to SXSW, and we’re playing shows down there and on the way back. When we get back, we’re home for just a couple days and then we go to Europe for almost a month. Then we hopefully start recording an album in the fall.
