and Andrea Reynolds, a linguistics senior , both said that the issue of hunger in the U.S. is one that is typically overlooked, because of the country’s image of a higher socio-economic status.
“I don’t think it comes up as an issue as much as it needs to be,” Martinez said. “I think pride has a lot to do with it. Most families don’t have the means to provide for their children and don’t reach out for help.”
If people can start out small and address the issue in their own communities, it will lead to a bigger impact in the future, Reynolds said. Although, she has not dealt with hunger-related issues, Reynolds said solutions begin with awareness.
“It’s definitely a major concern, but just like any other issue, it’s easier for people to look away,” Reynolds said. “But, people can start by ensuring their own communities are fed and it will influence others to do the same. It will create a dent toward the larger problem.”
The tour’s next stops will be in California , before starting a new tour on the East Coast next spring.
“It’s really inspiring to see people’s reactions,” Nye said. “A lot of us average people forget that we are considered wealthy in other parts of the world just by being able to … eat a few meals a day.”
UA campus celebrates Earth Day Students will celebrate Earth Day as a
waste-free event this year by demonstrating the composting process on the UA Mall.
Students for Sustainability and ASUA are collaborating to host the Earth Day event on April 22 from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Students for Sustainability will be recycling and composting as much material as possible during the event. Everything from cotton candy cones, plates, napkins and excess food will be recycled or composted to demonstrate sustainable living and an economical method to celebrating Earth Day.
“I would like students to come out here to see what kind of work is being done at the university level, but also see how they can change their lives in order to do one thing different this year that makes a positive impact,” said Natalie Lucas, executive director of Students for Sustainability and a senior studying environmental sciences and philosophy, politics, economics and law.
The event will be more community-oriented this year through interactive activities, displays, food, raffles, art made from recycled items, live music from several bands, a jumping castle and a star party hosted by the UA’s Astronomy Club, according to Crystal Davis, Earth Day project manager for Students for Sustainability.
In addition, an estimated 30 vendors will showcase their businesses to inform students about a more sustainable way of living.
“What we’ll be sharing about is that our choices are what dictate the strength.
We can revitalize U.S. manufacturing, protect the environment, raise awareness about the hunger epidemic in the United States and create action through how we spend our dollars,” said Alok Appadurai, co-founder of Fed by Threads. “The larger point is really to inspire people to really think about making a change. The main message that will come out of this event is that the power is really within the hands of the consumer.”
Fed by Threads is an ethical and sustainable, made-in-America clothing line . The funds from every purchased piece of clothing will pay for 12 emergency meals provided by the food bank. The local business will also help inform students about sustainable living.
“We were thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to interface with the next generation, 18 to 22, who are really good at being in the driver’s seat of making changes,” Appadurai said. “It was a really exciting invitation.”
Some coordinators and collaborators expressed excitement for this year’s celebration of Earth Day, but said it must continue moving forward and improving.
“The U of A is on the forefront of sustainable research and sustainable implementation, but we as a student body should really be pushing that forward,” said Jared Young, Spring Fling executive director and an accounting and finance junior. “It’s good to embrace challenge and
say how can we do better.“I think that’s one of the underlying
themes of Earth Day is how can we, as a student body at the U of A, be more cutting edge; how can we be more sustainable and really preserve our surroundings and make as little impact as possible.”

Alum to run 48 hours to fundraise for refugees
A UA alumnus will run for 48 hours around the UA Mall to raise money for a student-run or-ganization that provides services to resettled political refugees.
On April 15, Jerry Schuster, a 58-year-old substitute teach-er for Tucson Unified School District, will run for the Arizona Resource Connection, a student organization that helps refugees in Tucson .
Jerry’s Ultramarathon, orga-nized by Eller students Stephen Dolan, John Grisham, Zach Poll, Elena Urbina and Jinyeong Sohn , will prove to be both a lo-gistical and physical test of en-durance.
“It’s … the idea of going much further than people would ever think about … people can grasp a marathon. A lot of people do that,” Schuster said, “but once you start talking 24 hours and beyond, now you’re getting into a different realm.”
Schuster, who said he trains by putting in miles whenever he can, has completed so many ultramarathons that he’s lost track. Having broken 100 miles four different times in a 24-hour period, Schuster said he be-lieved that , while “prediction is a dangerous game,” he has yet to hit his prime.
While his best times remain
ahead, this ultramarathon marks the third time Schuster has run for the ARC . He said his desire to help the student-run organi-zation began after interactions with resettled political refugees in his classrooms. He observed firsthand the challenges refugees had to overcome.
The team’s goal is to raise $2,500, get 20 additional runners and receive at least that amount of email addresses from peo-ple interested in helping ARC,
according to Poll, a junior study-ing business economics and en-trepreneurship .
As Schuster repeatedly runs a .54-mile loop around the center of campus, only interrupted by bathroom and food breaks, the team will be operating a booth on the Mall, speaking about the ARC, hosting raffles and featur-ing a possible talk from refugee advocate Sahra Hirsi , among other activities.
“All of us have had experience
raising money hosting our own events, but obviously it’s a new challenge since it’s such a long event that goes continuously,” Poll said .
To prepare for the 48-hour challenge, the team has worked hard to advertise, find volun-teers, and get donations prior to the event, according to Grisham, a management information sys-tems junior . They are also look-ing for 20 additional runners to keep Schuster company.
“I am so excited that this event will directly help refu-gees by providing them with goods or services they need,” said Jinyeong Sohn, a business economics junior in an emailed statement.
While Schuster doesn’t have any pre-run rituals or meals, he warmed up with a 12-hour run benefiting the Special Olympics at Tucson High Magnet School’s track last Friday.
As both Schuster and the team of students prepare for the upcoming two-day adven-ture, both are excited knowing the difference their efforts will make.
“Tucson is known through-out the country as one of the hot spots for political refugees,” Poll said. “Which I think speaks volumes about the character of Tucson and what we’re trying to do and what we’re trying to ac-complish.”

there was no department of otolaryngology, according to Erman. Sometimes otolaryngologists from around Tucson would come in and cover calls but it was still difficult for patients in the hospital to get adequate care.
“We went from zero otolaryngologists to eight in two and a half years,” Erman said. “There were a lot of patients waiting at our doorsteps. We were immediately very clinically busy. Dr. Chiu really had a vision to make the department what it is now.”
In academic medicine, there are three pillars that are important to an institution: clinical care, research and teaching, Erman said. The addition of the ENT residency program will round out the program.
There are about 103 ENT programs across the country, according to Chiu, and the UA was one of the few top schools that didn’t have an ENT program. Chiu said the addition of the program increases the UA’s credibility, research and teaching opportunities.
“We want to teach a new generation of otolaryngologists,” Chiu said. “That’s why we’re so excited.”
Gruessner said that not only will they be training the next generation of ENT physicians but he also thinks the high quality experience and education from the faculty will lead to the next generation of ENT leaders.
“I think it’s a win-win for the university, for the college department, but foremost for the citizens of Tucson and Southern Arizona,” Gruessner said.
Former British prime minister dies She had a clear vision and a blunt
way of expressing it, and for 11 years as British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher wasn’t afraid to dispense tart advice to successive U.S. presidents.
“This is not the time to go wobbly, George,” she told President George H.W. Bush after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990.
It was vintage Thatcher, a message that was made possible by her cultivation of the closest possible relations with Bush and, before him, Ronald Reagan, in part to shore up her image in Britain and in Europe as the embodiment of what was then a special U.S.-British relationship.
But only she could have gotten away with offering such advice over the telephone to an American president.
Thatcher, who died Monday at age 87, was a towering figure in modern European politics, and her legacy shows the outsize impact that a middle power can have on world
affairs if led by a smart, determined and gutsy person — in this case the first woman to serve as prime minister.
She had a special talent for spotting trends _ predicting the demise of communist rule, which actually happened while she was in office _ and talent, such as when she identified Mikhail Gorbachev as a promising future leader of the Soviet Communist Party. “I like Mr. Gorbachev. This is a man I can do business with,” she said.
And though she despised communism with a passion, she delighted in being called the “Iron Lady,” the epithet given her by the Soviet Army newspaper Red Star in 1976, before she was prime minister. She quickly took it on as her own, telling parliamentary constituents a week later that she was proud to wear a “Red Star” evening gown and serve as “the Iron Lady of the Western world.”
Her trademark was to state her principles and adhere to them, even when they led to direct clashes with
top U.S. leaders, or, early in her time in office, to war. She took on her country’s national coal miners union early in her term, provoking a strike, which ended with the unions losing much of their power.
She also took on Britain’s welfare state and attempted to replace the cradle-to-grave free government services with a more competitive society.
When the Argentine military junta invaded the Falkland Islands (which Argentina calls the Malvinas) in April 1992, she ignored the misgivings of her Cabinet and the lack of support from Washington and sent a British military task force 8,000 miles away to dislodge the invaders.
At the time, her political stock was at rock bottom. But after the task force reclaimed the rocky archipelago, she suddenly became a popular and viable leader.
She took on anyone with whom she disagreed, often dismissing European leaders with thinly veiled contempt, but also on occasion an American president.
She had the reputation of being utterly humorless, but in the European Union, where she attempted to give Britain a unique role and to head off any move that would shed the political sovereignty of Parliament, she traded barbs with her fellow European leaders, who made no secret of their dislike for her.
Peter Gregson, a former Reuters
reporter who covered Thatcher for her final four years in office, recalled that at a meeting to discuss strengthening European central authority, French President Jacques Chirac charged Thatcher with putting her foot “firmly on the brake of Europe.” She shot back, “That’s rich, coming from him. He hasn’t even gotten in the car yet.”
Woman pleads guilty to torturing, starving teenage stepdaughter
MILWAUKEE — A woman accused of torturing and starving her teenage stepdaughter and of keeping the child locked in the basement of their Madison, Wis., home pleaded guilty Monday to two felony counts of child abuse.
The 43-year-old woman, whose trial was to begin Monday morning in Dane County, pleaded to one count of first-degree reckless endangering safety and to one count of causing mental harm to a child. As part of an agreement with prosecutors, four other felony charges were dropped but read into the record. The woman faces up to 25 years in prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
The girl ran away from her home in February 2012 and was found wandering through her neighborhood by a passing motorist. The girl, who was 15, was barefoot, thinly clothed and weighed 68 pounds.
Records obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel showed that the girl had suffered at the hands of her stepmother, father and stepbrother for years, and that officials at various agencies, though warned of her plight, failed to rescue her:
In January 2011, a woman driving past the girl’s home called police after trying to engage the girl in a conversation. The woman said the girl seemed fragile and that her bare feet were purple. Two Madison police officers went to the girl’s home, but left when no one answered the door.
In 2007, police investigated an allegation that the girl had been molested. The girl would not corroborate the allegation.
Records showed that police visited the home 10 times while the girl lived there. Most of the reports that brought police to the home concerned the girl’s stepbrother.
In November 2011, in an unrelated matter, the now 19-year-old stepbrother pleaded no contest to contributing to the
delinquency of a child and two counts of sexual assault involving a 13-year-old girl. State probation officers visited home three times, the last less than a month before the girl ran away.
According to a criminal complaint, the girl was beaten, starved, sexually abused and forced to eat her own excrement.
Shortly after the girl was rescued in 2012, a doctor specializing in child abuse examined the girl and diagnosed her condition as “serial child torture with prolonged exposure to definite starvation.”
Last month, a Dane County jury found the girl’s 41-year-old father guilty of felony child neglect but deadlocked on four other charges. A sentencing date has not been set.
The girl’s stepbrother, charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of child abuse, is scheduled to be tried in June.
To protect the girl’s identity, the Journal Sentinel is not naming the members of her family.

400,000 Arizonans health care. The financial considerations alone seem to have trumped partisanship for Brewer, and other Republican lawmakers in Arizona should jump on board.
Yet many of Arizona’s GOP legislators are far from this step. In March, Maricopa County GOP Chairman and active member of the Tea Party A.J. LaFaro compared Brewer to Judas.
LaFaro has since apologized for his remarks but refuses to resign.
However, the remark isn’t the problem. The problem is that in today’s political climate, you can earn yourself the label of traitor for showing any hint of bipartisanship.
Brewer isn’t betraying the Republican party, she’s trying to take advantage of federal government money offered under the Affordable Care Act. The money will provide insurance to Arizonans and will create jobs in our health care system.
Arizona could stand to gain $1.6 billion
dollars each year when the expansion hits full stride. A recent study by Arizona State University predicted this revenue would bolster the economy by creating 15,000 jobs — far more than any tax cuts could produce.
The plan would be relatively affordable because the federal government will initially cover the full cost of insurance provided to new beneficiaries and it will pay 90 percent of the cost after 2020.
Brewer also worked in a fail-safe so Arizona could back out of the expansion if the federal government’s contribution falls to below 80 percent.
Arizona would only be responsible for paying $256 million, which Brewer plans to compensate for with a provider’s assessment on hospitals. This assessment is supported by hospitals and has worked effectively in other states.
In fact, the whole plan is supported by hospitals who currently treat poor and elderly patients who cannot afford to pay for health care. Why send them to the emergency room for treatment that a primary care physician can provide at a lower rate?
As a result, hospitals are forced to raise rates on paying patients to cover their losses.
As the system stands, people with insurance ultimately pay more on their co-pays and insurance premiums.
The inefficient use of funds doesn’t stop there. Yavapai County Attorney Sheila
Polk said she’s seen a rise in the number of mentally ill people who have been incarcerated since Arizona cut back on its funding for the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, the state’s Medicaid program.
Incarceration is ineffective in treating those with mental illnesses, not to mention costly.
Brewer isn’t betraying anyone by supporting an expansion of Medicaid. She’s reaching out to help Arizonans in need, and she’s putting the state’s interests ahead of politics. There may be no such thing as free money, but this is just about as close as it gets.
LaFaro and other Republican legislators in the Arizona House and Senate have argued the plan will only add to the national debt, yet the federal government is going to start helping other states regardless of whether or not Arizona jumps on board.
It makes sense to collect the spoils now while the offer is still on the table instead of leaving Arizonans to suffer.
It’s the governor’s job to serve the citizens of the state of Arizona, and when presented with a opportunity that will benefit the people of the state, she should seize it. Helping people afford healthcare does not make her a traitor.

Pass: The UA’s Student Recreation Center was ranked No. 17 in the “25 Most Amazing
Student Recreation Centers” by Best College Reviews. This is actually more important than it seems.
A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found “the taste for academic quality is confined to high-achieving students.”
While the UA may compete academically, it certainly is not among the elite colleges in the nation. That makes amenities like having nice dorms, or having the 17th best recreation center important for attracting future students, to the university.
Pass: The James E. Rogers College of Law will see a 10.6 percent decrease in resident tuition and an 8.2 percent
decrease in non-resident student tuition next fall.
In a time where tuition keeps rising, it’s a relief to see tuition going down, even if it’s for just one college.
The nicest part of the decrease is that the school was able to do so by using revenue from non-Juris Doctor programs.
By attempting to find alternative ways to fund the program, the law school is showing that it’s trying to provide affordable education without cutting the quality.
Fail: Rutgers head basketball coach Mike Rice was fired last week for abusing players.
There was video footage of
Rice throwing basketballs at his player’s heads and both physically and verbally abusing them.
Since Rice has been fired, athletic director Tim Pernetti resigned and the president, Robert Barchi, is now facing calls for his resignation.
The situation was handled poorly.
When Barchi was informed of a problem last year, he should have asked to see the videotape. When Rutgers Board of Governors member Mark Hershhorn viewed the video tape in December, he should have done something.
Rutgers officials fail for not taking immediate action.
Fail: Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., is now allowing concealed weapons in their classrooms under two
conditions: The student must hold a concealed carry permit and have permission from campus police.
This is a very bad idea. Solutions for gun control have
ranged from arming teachers to, well, allowing students to carry guns on campus.
The actual likelihood that students need will need to defend themselves from a shooter is rather small; it’s far more likely that a gun-related accident will happen.
But if someone starts shooting on campus, at least there will be people to shoot back.

“An article by Stanford’s Joel Brinkley, a Hearst Visiting Professional in the Department of Communication, illuminated the problems that occur when an institution of higher education offers a diversity of class subjects without an accompanying diversity of professors. In his article, Professor Brinkley demonstrated his lack of knowledge about the lived experience of Southeast Asian students, using his intellectual position to demean the region’s peoples without considering how his argument might be offensive and harmful to many Asians around the world, let alone the Asian-American students on this campus.

“How do we ‘measure’ who has it harder in
2013?” by Andrea Flores
“Things like the formation of ‘race,’ segregated schools, redlining, the prison system, environmental racism, whiteness as property — these are all things we are still dealing with today. These things have trickled down and formed our present reality, however different from more ‘apparently racist’ times they may seem.
There doesn’t have to be segregated counters or ‘No Dogs or Mexicans’ signs like the ones that were so prevalent in the 1950s and ‘60s to understand that there is still racism everywhere in America.
When our realities differ, we might never truly understand what it is like to walk in another’s shoes, but the least we can do is talk about it.”

“But today’s elite college students couldn’t care less about religious, spiritual or moral arguments against casual sex. And it’s not just that we are less religious than older generations. Educated Millennials have a distinctively libertarian social outlook.

“It is remarkable technology, but requiring a prescription makes it almost useless to the age group that arguably needs it the most.

The FDA gave its approval for the drug long ago, and the zero reported deaths and few complications shine in comparison to the physical and emotional side effects of a teenage pregnancy.”

Mystery spotsA UA manager reported what he believed to be semen stains
on the walls in the Psychology building at 8:40 a.m. on April 4. During a building check, the reporting party noticed stains
on walls that ran down to the floor. The man perceived them to be old, since the stained spots on the floor were brown, but said upon observation it appeared someone had ejaculated on the walls.
A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the building and met with the reporting party. The officer then looked at the stains, which he said appeared to be from urine.
Photos were taken for evidence and a custodial worker was notified.
Greedy thiefA UA student reported that an Xbox 360 and two backpacks
containing numerous items were stolen from his room in the Theta Chi fraternity house at 7:17 p.m. on April 4.
The student said the incident happened earlier between 11:30 p.m. and 12:15 a.m., when his door was unlocked. A UAPD officer dispatched to the scene to meet with the student after he reported the stolen items. Other stolen property included two MacBook laptops, an iPhone 4, a graphing calculator, Audi car keys, Ray Ban aviator sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, a wallet and Toyota car keys.
The student didn’t have serial numbers for any of the missing property, but said he wanted to pursue criminal charges. There are currently no suspects or witnesses.
Keep calmA non-UA affiliated man was arrested outside of Arizona-
Sonora Residence Hall at 9:36 p.m. on April 4 for failure to appear in court, stemming from criminal trespassing charges.
A UAPD officer observed the man near the north side of the dorm talking to himself and walking back and forth “aimlessly.” Upon the officer’s contact with the individual, he seemed “frantic” before calming down. The man told the officer he was walking to an urgent care office and “looking for cigarette butts.”
The officer had contacted the man the previous day about “bathing in the restroom” at the UA Visitor’s Center. A records check then showed the man had a criminal misdemeanor for trespassing and he was arrested and placed in handcuffs.
“I’m going to kill myself, take me to the hospital,” the man said.The man was taken to Pima County Jail and given a mental
health evaluation.

Adjusting to the cavernous dimensions of Hi Corbett Field and the speed of college baseball has been a struggle for most of the freshmen on the Arizona baseball team.
According to head coach Andy Lopez, the answer is simply bananas — metaphorically speaking, that is.
“The bananas are green right now,” Lopez said about his freshmen. “The bananas aren’t ripe. Last year’s team was ripe; there wasn’t a green banana to be found in the bunch. This year there’s some green bananas out there.”
Freshmen like Zach Gibbons (team-high .491 on-base percentage) and Kevin Newman (.342 batting average), have already ripened into productive ballplayers. Others, like outfielder Jackson Willeford, are still maturing.
But, it’s not something Lopez said he’s shocked about. In fact it’s something he completely expected.
“Sometimes we forget … It takes a young guy awhile to get adjusted to playing in this park. It really does,” he said.
“This park is designed for a [certain] offense. It’s taken us awhile, longer than I wanted, to be very candid with you. But I shouldn’t be too upset because it took a junior class last year about four weeks. Four weeks into the season we were really sputtering, and then it clicked.”
Even with three of Arizona’s top six leaders in batting average — Gibbons, Newman and Cody Ramer — being freshmen, the eight newcomers are batting .286 on the season. The returning players are batting .334.
The deep fences at Hi Corbett turn the outfield into a graveyard for fly balls. And one of the biggest offenders is also one of the greenest bananas — Willeford.
“He’s just a fly ball waiting to happen in right field,” Lopez said. “In any other park, he’d probably have three home runs already.
“He’s going to be a good player. He just has to understand this is your home yard. This is what you have to do. What you have to do is have an offense here.”
In addition to the normal hurdles a freshman faces, Willeford also dealt with a bout of mononucleosis and a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament, which is known better as a “Tommy John” injury.
Since he’s a field player, Willeford can avoid the worst effects of the “Tommy John” injury by being a designated hitter. The mono has passed but his batting hasn’t recovered, though.
Willeford is 1-for-22 on the year and has yet to find a groove at the plate since being inserted in the lineup at the start of the Utah series.
While he started four straight games, he missed the final two of the Cal series.
Willeford said it’s important to take every at-bat one pitch at a time, and while the speed is much faster than he’s used to, things are finally slowing down.
“I feel like every day we come out [to Hi Corbett Field], it gets slower and slower,” he said. “[Coach] does a good job making sure the game doesn’t jump up on us.”
In his seven games this season, he’s recorded four RBI but only has a weak infield hit at the shortstop to show for it. But, power isn’t what Willeford lacks; he just needs to make better contact.
“He’s trying to hit a nine-run home run,” Lopez said. “He’s trying to knock that wall
completely down and maybe hit one of the planes in the landing
pad; that’s his goal right now, instead of just get a hit.“He wants to do so well, so soon, but he’s got to ripen up.
You can eat that banana green, but it’s not going to taste as good.”
Willeford said his journey has been a “humbling experience, to say the least.” Considering his battle with mono, a partially torn UCL and his decision to turn down an offer to join the Kansas City Royals’ farm system after being drafted in June, he’s not underselling anything.
He’s also not alone. Regulars Ryan Koziol and Scott Kingery are both hitting under .240 this season. And even a ripe banana in junior Johnny Field had to adjust to the college game.
“I remember freshman year, when I came in, the game’s a lot quicker than it was in high
school,” Field said. “But the quicker that you

ARIZONA FRESHMAN JACKSON WILLEFORD rounds the bases in this weekend’s sweep over Cal. Willeford is 1-for-22 at the plate this season, and one of the freshmen who head coach Andy Lopez says is still adjusting to the speed of the college game.
Softball looks to extend its winning streak
The No. 19 Arizona softball team (26-13, 4-5 Pac-12) will travel to Las Cruces, N.M. to conclude non-conference play and take on New Mexico State (26-13, 8-1 WAC) in a doubleheader on Tuesday at the NM State Softball Complex. The Wildcats hold a 22-8 record in non-conference play to date.
The Wildcat will look to extend their three-game winning streak and upset the Aggies who are in possession of their own 10-game winning streak.
New Mexico State has not lost since March 22 and most recently swept UT Arlington over the weekend.
Arizona is coming fresh off of explosive offensive performances this past weekend, which highlighted a pair of mercy-rule victories over UCSB.
“At this stage of the game we have to keep executing,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “If our offense comes out like it did this [past] weekend, we keep our composure defensively, and go the distance in the circle, then we will be happy with the results.”
In their previous matchups, the Wildcats lead the all-time series with a 48-4 overall record against New Mexico State.
In their most recent duel last March, Arizona fell to the Aggies in the first game, 9-5, but rebounded, taking the second game of the double header 6-3.
“I’m looking forward to helping our team maintain the same drive and success this week that we had during our games last weekend. We are going in with momentum and everyone is eager to produce,” freshman Lauren Young said.
Young had a stellar game last weekend against UCSB and compiled three hits, two of which were three-run homeruns, and collected 7 RBI.
Freshman Mandie Perez also looks to contribute after finding her groove with a grand-slam homerun this past weekend.
Swimmers introduce notesharing platform
The pressures of being a student athelete — daily practices, constant traveling, and competition — means that sometimes classes are put on hold.
While attending the UA, Wildcat alumnus Nicholas Cuevas, Adam Small and current senior swimmer Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or came up with an idea to help student athletes excel in their studies as well as their athletic performances.
Bar-Or, a two-time Olympian, 10-time All-American and a school record holder in the 400-medley relay, is a general studies senior who founded ClassBuster, LLC, an online platform where students can share files, exchange notes, find tutors and utilize study guides.
When a student finds themselves unable to attend classes, ClassBuster provides an opportunity to prepare for tests and papers virtually through actual classroom materials and work through the credit-based system. Students can purchase credit and use to to buy documents or generate credit by selling documents themselves.
“ClassBuster was an idea that I came up with when I was attending high school,” Bar-Or said.
“The company is an online academic marketplace between students and serves as a way for people who miss class for various reasons to catch up. It also gives students who are physically in the classroom a way to make money by doing simple things like paying attention in class, taking notes and then uploading the notes for sale on
the site.”Bar-Or said he knows
the problem well. As the current record holder and champion for Israel in the 50, 100 and 200- freestyle events, he spent a lot of time traveling to meets across the country, unable to partake in his regularly scheduled academic studies.
He said he needed a way to combine his athletic performance and academic needs successfully.
After transferring the beginnings of his business from his high school to the UA, Bar-Or paired up with Cuevas after the two became friends in their economics class.
“We began collaborating together, and that is when the plans for ClassBuster really began to take off.”
Cuevas, who earned his degree in engineering management in 2009, possesses the titles of CEO and president of ClassBuster.
“Collaboration is beneficial for students and it is okay to rely on your friends,” Bar-Or said. “Our platform shows students and athletes that they can help each other and prepare for classes through working together.”
Last year, things began to move more rapidly when Small, a 2012 marketing graduate from the UA, showed signs of interest in revamping the company’s platform and offered his marketing and sales skills in exchange for a partnership.
He currently operates as the sales and marketing director for ClassBuster.
Small, a 12-time All-American, Olympic Trials finalist (7th) and school record holder in the 50-freestyle event, said he immediately saw the potential in what Bar-Or and Cuevas were trying to do.
“We have had some great outreach from department heads,” Small said. “We want to work with the school. We don’t want to be

You heard right. Tylenol + alcohol = potential liver damage.
Tylenol (known generically as acetaminophen) is a popular pain reliever that is effective in reducing fevers and quellingmild to moderate pain.
Emergency rooms have recently seen an alarming increase in liver toxicity, caused by the interaction of alcohol andacetaminophen. In fact, it’s estimated that 39% of all liverfailure is caused by acetaminophen. If you have 3 or moredrinks daily, and take acetaminophen, the combination canprove toxic to your liver (which works to process toxins for you),even with short term use. The recommended maximum dose isno more than 4000 milligrams of acetaminophen a day.
Signs of liver trouble include dark urine, yellowing of the eyesand/or skin, persistent nausea and/or vomiting, abdominalpain, and excessive tiredness. This combination of symptomsshould lead you to seek medical care ASAP.
Over 600 products contain acetaminophen. Common “over-the-counter” (OTC) medications with acetaminophen include Alka-Seltzer Plus Liquid Gels®, Dayquil®, Excedrin®, Midol®, Nyquil®,Robitussin®, and Theraflu®. Acetaminophen is also found inmany prescription drugs, including Vicodin, Percocet, and orcourse, Tylenol #3. It’s important to know what you are putting in your body, since any drug can have negative side effects.
Is there an alternative to acetaminophen? Yes! Aspirin,ibuprofen, and naproxen work well for pain, and, although some people experience stomach irritation, these OTCs are not associated with liver toxicity.
Best hangover cure? Lots of water and time. And,read labels carefully if you need to take pain meds.
A.
I heard that you shouldn’ttake Tylenol for ahangover. Why not?
Many believe that the word “beer” got its name from the Latin verb “bibere” which means “to drink.”

Baseball climbing back in Pac-12 race
After starting the Pac-12 conference schedule alone in last place at 0-6 , the Wildcats are right back in contention for the conference crown.
Arizona won its sixth game in a row Sunday as it swept California to improve to 6-6 in conference play and tied with rival Arizona State for fifth place in the standings .
In the first six games of the conference schedule, the Wildcats struggled to score, averaging just 2.8 runs per game . But during their current six-game winning streak, Arizona has amped up the offense, averaging an impressive 7.0 runs per game.
Granted, the first six games were against nationally ranked opponents in Oregon State and Oregon, where as the most recent six games have been against unranked Utah and Cal . That being said, the offense still has clearly shown improvements and is definitely on the upswing.
In their previous six games, the Wildcats’ offense saw the biggest improvement from the
bottom half of their lineup, most notably freshman first baseman Ryan Koziol and sophomore right fielder Joseph Maggi . During the six-game win streak, Koziol has gone 6-of-18 with four runs scored . Koziol was hitting a team-low .207 before the winning streak, but since then has increased his batting average to .239, still one of the lowest on the team.
Maggi might be the team MVP for the last six games, as he has gone 8-of-16 at the dish with six runs scored and three RBI . Prior to the winning
streak, Maggi had posted the team’s second lowest batting average of .215 but has raised his average to .272 in the last six games. Head coach Andy Lopez said he attributes hard work in practice for the recent success by Koziol and Maggi.
It only took a couple of weeks but many experts’ prediction of Stanford to win the Pac-12 conference are right back in the heat of things as they took two out of three from USC this past weekend . After a slow start to its season, Stanford has won five of its last seven.
Ace pitcher Mark Appel (5-2) has almost single-handedly brought the Cardinal back in the conference race by posting All-American numbers. The 2012 No. 8 pick in the MLB draft has the eighth lowest ERA in the nation for any pitcher with over 40.0 innings of work (1.13) . Appel’s .77 WHIP is the eighth lowest in the nation . Opposing batters are hitting a dismal .170 against Appel, as the senior has struck out 71 batters this season , fourth in the nation.
No one was taking Arizona State lightly this season, but after taking two of three from first place Oregon, ASU has shown is has the talent to compete until the very end. ASU Saturday pitcher Ryan Kellogg (7-0) might be the leading candidate for Freshman of the Year. The Canadian lefty has a team-best 2.19 ERA and a .187 batting average against .
Kellogg was a 12th round draft pick out of high school and has already thrown a no-hitter against Oregon State this season .
The Sun Devils will travel to USC before they head to Hi Corbett Field for their only game in Tucson of the season.

learn to kind of grow up and accept that you’re going to be a guy on the team and accept the role as a freshman, the easier it gets.”
Field won the Pac-12 batting title last season and this year has an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.988, the second best OPS on the team. But he too struggled as a freshman, hitting .297 on the year .
“I think our [freshmen] are doing a great job with that right now — accepting that they’re going to need to take a big responsibility for us this year and trying to get old as quick as possible,” Field said.
labeled as a back-alley cheating hub.”The company has reached out to the community and
caught the attention and support of some professors. “Originally, our site was pretty similar to sites like
Notehall, ” Small said. “We figured that we needed a unique component to distinguish ourselves, so we created Group Share.”
Group Share is part of the ClassBuster platform and is a cloud database that allows student groups to share
and profit from documents uploaded by members of the group.
“We are the first company to make something that involves both Notehall ideals plus something like Google Drive to give college students exactly what they need,” Small said.
Staci Rodriguez and Amber Olive who are hitting .325 and .428 respectively, will lead New Mexico State’s offensive attack.
Rodriguez poses the greatest threat to Arizona’s pitching as she has 13 homeruns, eight doubles, and 42 RBI on the season . Olive has three doubles, four triples, 19 RBI and can also be a danger for the Wildcats.
The Aggies are led in the circle by their ace, Alex Newman who possesses a 2.09 ERA with 60
strikeouts in 124 innings pitched . Junior Shelby Babcock will
attempt to lift the Wildcats to their fourth consecutive victory. She leads the Arizona rotation and possesses a 3.18 ERA with 85 strikeouts in 110 innings pitched this year.
Babcock and Newman will faceoff in search of their 14th win of the season .
“I want to see us carry everything over into this week,” Babcock said. “We are going to keep rolling with what we have been doing and hopefully I’ll get the run support that I’ll need to lead us to a win.”

Chalk Art Festival brightens up TucsonThe sidewalks at Park Place Mall were transformed
this past weekend into kaleidoscopic canvases open to artists of all ages. What is normally an outdoor area of benches and potted plants became a lively chalk art museum visited by hundreds of spectators, with cordoned-off spaces for both professionals and children wanting to try their hand at something more than sidewalk graffiti.
The Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, an organization that works to engage people in local art culture, hosted the second annual Tucson Chalk Art Festival.
Funded by supporters throughout Tucson, 11 artists were selected to complete 8-by-6 foot chalk art murals for two days. The chalk art canvases stretched from the Total Wine and Sears entrances to the front of Macy’s.
“Well, we’re all artists, but none of us are really chalk artists; we’re all artists in different mediums,” said Michael Schwartz, who was selected to participate in this year’s festival. “You’ve got a bronze sculptor here. You’ve got a muralist here. So each of us are in different mediums. This is just something we know how to do … I’m at that stage of ‘Why do you create art?’ — it’s
to create beauty, to bring beauty into the world and to share that with people.”
The festival gave each artist the opportunity to create a piece that exhibited his or her own style of work. Themes of these drawings varied from adoption awareness to Mexican culture and even the pop art-like stylings of a bright, yellow flower with stems that resembled octopus tentacles. Using only chalk, spray bottles and a few brushes in varying sizes, artists
created expansive and temporary works of art that pleased the masses.
“It was great. It was a chance to see the other artists work. I did water and brush work onto mine and some of the other artists were like, ‘Oh, that’s cool,’” Schwartz said. “And that’s what part of being an artist is about — sharing, right? And, you know, challenging onto each other. And it’s nice. It’s nice to see that.”
The Kidzone stirred creativity and imagination for children, including
a considerably detailed chalk drawing of Santa Claus choking the Easter Bunny. As the weekend continued, Park Place Mall became the exhibit for a community-oriented mural. These single-theme illustrations developed into an overall complex street mural by the festival’s participates.
The chalk art murals can be viewed at Park Place Mall off of East Broadway Boulevard.
