ReporterTraining will be
provided on multiple campuses to teach fac-ulty and staff what
to do if an active shooter situation should happen on campus.
Montoya and Westside campuses will each host two training
sessions which will be similar to the two ses-sions recently
completed on Main campus, APD Patrolmen First Class James Vautier
said.
I loved the turnout for our first session, I was surprised at
how many people attended, he said.
The training pro-vided by Vautier was created using data
col-lected from the NYPD,
the Virginia Tech mas-sacre, APD psycholo-gists and mental
health case studies from past shootings, he said.
Vautiers tech-nique is similar to the Run, Hide, Fight
technique, but focuses more on what a person can do to prevent a
shooting, Vautier said.

A New Mexico chap-ter of the First Tech Challenge Lego Robotics
program is raising money to compete in the FTC World
Championship
next month, dual credit CNM student and team leader Haley Hanson
said.
Hansons team, Dutch 200, which competes against other teams
using Lego Robot kits, has won a spot in the FTC World Championship
on April

she said.
The team is really happy about going to the championship, team
chaperone and Haley Hansons mom, Lori Hanson, said.
Dutch 200 was invited to the world championship after winning
the Inspire Award in the regional competition on March 16, said
Lori Hanson. The teams robot, Hal, won tenth place in the robot
competition, she said.
The team does not yet know what they will do to raise the entry
fee, but will post the details and how others can help on their

English and Cultural Studies instructor Felecia Caton-Garcia
will be reading poems from her newly pub-lished book at a local
bookstore next month, she said.
Caton-Garcia will read a selection of poems from her book
Say That on April 17 at Bookworks on Rio Grande in the North
Valley. This is her first published book, she said.
Its really exciting, more exciting than I expected it to be,
just to actually be able to hold the book in my hands, she
said.
Caton-Garcia said she had been working on the poems for many
years with no intention
of putting them together for a book, but it fell into place.
I have written for most of my life and Ive written seriously and
for publication for 10 or 15 years, so you always sort of have an
idea that youre evolving some-thing, she said.
The poems stem from personal experi-ences with death and family,
including the death of her father and an uncle who died just weeks
before she was born, she said.
Although her poems are based on real events, they show a
fictional outsider perspective of these events, she said.

EDITORIAL CARTOON BY SCOTT M. ROBERTS
Rape culture needs to end and it must start with education.
Questioning what a victim wore or what the victim had to drink
seems natural. Jokes about rape such as the line sung by the men in
Summer Nights from Grease are so common in media that most people
hardly notice.
Rape culture will not go away over-night. We need education on
the subject, without judgment, spin or propaganda.
We need institutions like CNM to add rape culture to the list of
cultural studies classes.
We need professionals to tell us how to handle situations where
rape culture is happening. We need classes on preventing rape
culture like the active shooter train-ing mentioned in Active
shooter training offered on Montoya, Westside Campuses on the front
page of this issue.
We need this because victims should not be afraid to come
forward after a rape. We need this because teenagers think it is ok
to video tape a rape, but do nothing to stop it.
The problem with rape culture is that it blurs the line. It can
make people forget that we live in a world where actions have
consequences.
Major news outlets like CNN have made comment about the recent
guilty decision in the Stubenville rape case that lament the loss
of promising careers of the rapists, and of their lifelong labels
as sex offenders.
What the national news media failed to acknowledge is the
struggle the victim will have.
Images and video of her rape are on the internet forever. Her
memory loss of the night will leave her with lifelong questions
about how things got so out of control.
This case, from start to finish, is the product of a culture
that embraces rape as funny or the victims fault or a common-place
thing that happens all the time.
This is not ok.Last spring, the CNM Chronicle
wrote a special edition paper on sex and violence which included
the story of a male rape victim.
He said his attackers were never brought to justice because the
respond-ing officers did not believe a man could be raped.
His story can be read at
thecnmchron-icle.wordpress.com/overcoming-stigma.
If the police can be taken in by rape culture, we must be
educated in order to combat it.
So CNM, give us the option to learn. There are so many instances
where
people tells us it is ok to think rape jokes are funny, that a
persons sexual history is relevant to a sexual assault and that a
forceful or violent man is somehow sexy.
We need a place to that will help us examine the problem.
Preventing rape starts
with education

Failing out of CNM was a major wakeup call for 4 On Your Side
Investigative Reporter Gadi Schwartz.
Schwartz enrolled at CNM right after high school while also
working more than one job. He spent less time studying because he
thought he could breeze through, he said.
I thought I could make it on my own, but that def-initely did
not work out so well, Schwartz said.
Graduating high school while still slacking off left him
unprepared for the more challenging col-lege life, he said.
Even though he left after failing a single term, Schwartz said
he felt that CNM is perfect bridge for students because the options
are so diverse.
I wish I would have utilized it more because failing out was a
swift kick in the butt or a wakeup call of sorts, Schwartz
said.
It was the mirror that said, Look, this is where
you are in your life and you need to pull your act together and
do something with yourself. I am probably where I am today because
of the butt kicking I got from CNM, Schwartz said.
Gadi Schwartz may be a well-known face on TV now, but before
that, it was his father who was the local celebrity.
Sergio Schwartz, Gadi Schwartzs father, was a beloved
broad-caster for Univision.
Sergio Schwartz began as a weatherman on the Spanish news
channel, but eventually went on to report on bigger stories, he
said.
I remember when he would come to my school and surprise me by
taking me out of class to go and work on a really cool story with
him, we would have these really awesome adventures together all the
time, he said.
Gadi Schwartz said his dad would take him along to cover stories
like the Roswell alien con-vention, the pilgrimage to Chimayo, the
burn-ing of Zozobra and the
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, he said.
I am now covering the same things as a pro-fessional reporter
that I used to do with my dad as a kid, said Schwartz.
At first his goal was not to be associated with his father
professionally, but now the respect and honor that has grown for
him is undeniable, he said.
His father, who grew up in Guatemala, accom-plished everything
he did without the education or opportunity that might have been
presented to someone growing up in the United States, he said.
My dad always tells people, Look at my son, he is following in
my foot-steps and I always have to say, Wait, hold on. You are a
weatherman and I am a serious investigative journalist and that is
a big difference. It is all in
good fun though, because I am very thankful to my dad for
allowing me to have a passport into the people and tra-ditions of
New Mexico, Schwartz said.
While Schwartz has become well known and respected for his
investi-gative work at Channel 4, his long-term goal is to become a
war correspon-dent, he said.
War is an issue that is hard to understand, but it is important
that jour-nalists dig deep into what is happening and share it with
the public, he said.
And much like, inves-tigative reporting, conflict reporting
would give him more time to develop the story to make sure the
public gets as much infor-mation as possible, he said.
Every single story I have ever had has not been complete in my
opinion because there are so many unanswered questions or
incomplete informa-tion that I want to get the answers to, said
Schwartz.
For Schwartz though, it all comes back to CNM and the importance
of education.
When it comes to education and find-ing a passion, people
really need to take the time to self-reflect and realize what
their jobs in the world will be and just go for it, he said.
The important thing is for students to commit to what they want
and to stay focused on those goals, he said.

Actors Ed Chavez and Alicia Lueras Maldonado share an intimate
scene during the rehersal shoot.
The gleefully foul-mouthed play, The Motherf**ker with the Hat,
is coming to Albuquerque for the first time later this month.
Motherf**ker will open on March 22 at the Vortex theatre and run
for three weekends.
The play is a chal-lenging, well-writ-ten and very funny
examination of the choices we make about love. In many ways a
coming of age story, the play is raw, yet deeply familiar and
human, Director Leslee Richards said.
The play is set in a blue-collar Puerto Rican community in New
York City and is an intense verbal cage match about love, fidelity
and a mis-placed hat, she said.
Elliot Stenzel, who plays antagonist Ralph, said the life-like
char-acters struggle with problems that are familiar to most
people.
We all have f laws in our personality and how you manage
those throughout life can dictate how well you do, he said.
The off-putting title and the show itself is a reflection of
modern American life, he said.
Efrain Villa, who plays supporting char-acter Julio, said the
play will strike a differ-ent chord for everyone because it touches
on many topics like fear, loneliness and addiction.
In many ways this play is about how people can get stuck in
really bad cycles and how difficult it is to pull yourself out of
that cycle, he said.
The 2011 play was written by Stephen Adly Guirgis and was
nominated for six Tony awards. It centers on Jackie, a former drug
dealer out on parole, and his relationship with his long-time
girlfriend Veronica. When Jackie finds another mans hat in his
girl-friends apartment, he is convinced she
has been cheating and swears to find the motherf**ker who owns
the hat.
There is a content advisory for the per-formance, which is for
ages 18 and over.

After more than two years of dormancy, the Math League is
available once again to students who love math, need help with
their home-work or are just inter-ested in learning a little more
about the often dreaded subject.
The chartered stu-dent organization meets every Saturday on Main
campus and is open to students at any math level, said Engineering
major and club President Myra Villalobos.
Its not a competitive group. You dont have to be a math
all-star; we just want you to come and do your math, she said.
Studying at meet-ings has helped all group members improve their
math skills, Villalobos said.
We realized how dif-ferent each one of us is and how helpful it
is to
study together. We have different strengths and weaknesses, she
said.
The group re-formed during the fall 2012 term with four members
and an adviser. The club now hosts about 20 stu-dents per meeting
and a STEP-UP tutor is pres-ent to provide help if the group gets
stuck, she said.
We want to get people from the lower levels in math show up for
help so they understand that it really is a process and that we all
go through it, she said.
The groups home-work model has become popular, and is now being
used for both a Physics and a Biology club, Villalobos said.

Students with an urge to try their hand at working in
televi-sion can learn the ropes through U-public, the operators of
Albuquerques Public Access channels.
The non-profit organization offers classes through
meetup.com/upublicans which range in price from free to $10 and
teach things like how to develop a show concept, how to use
production and recording equipment and how to make money through
programming, said U-public Director Toby Younis.
The program has offered 75 classes and trained 138 volunteers
since July 2012, and has 35 more classes in the works, he said.
Since U-Public began operating chan-nels 17, 26 and 27 in the
city, it has offered seven in-house productions
and 18 independent productions. More than 30 more are in various
stages of pro-duction, he said.
We have been working on bringing in all types of content to
public access, from shows such as an online web-series, to
educa-tional and local based content, as well as sports broadcasts
such as Womens Liberal Basketball, Younis said.
Theatre major Shelley Carney said U-publics vision of training
and support-ing budding TV pro-ducers has done a lot to bring
public television back into the public forum in Albuquerque.
U-Public has suc-ceeded in changing the face of public access
television with educa-tional and local com-munity based
program-ming, and U-Publics main focus is to
produce shows with quality content that add value to the
com-munity, she said.
Carney, who pro-duces a local talk show called New Mexico Media
Makers on U-public, said the con-tent on U-public is
education-driven and locally-based, which has made it valuable to
the public.
We have a show that educates on how to deal with the death of a
loved one emotionally and financially, a show that gives legal
advice on many common scenarios from legal experts and we have
productions that show-case local community media, Carney said.

That prompted her to consider how to recognize the artis-tic
growth that takes place between the writing process, during and
after publi-cation, and the present moment, she said.
I am choosing to
see it as a snapshot of that particular time and place and who I
was as a writer right then, and the next one will also not be who I
am when it comes out, she said.
She credits Say That with helping her evolve
her writing and bringing her to where she is today, she said.
She hopes that by reading her work, others will be inspired by the
imagery or ideas in the story.
Ideally, thats what art does; art changes you. The act of making
art
changes you, she said.Caton-Garcia said
she would like for readers to feel inspired by her work.
Say That is avail-able at the UNM bookstore through
unmpress.com/books and can be ordered
wherever books are sold for $17.95.
Bookworks is located at 4022 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Caton-Garcia
will be reading her poetry from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday,

Lori Hanson said.Haley Hanson said
she learned about robotics when she was 11 when she and her
brother joined a team in the junior league of the same
organization.
We build our robots
to complete a certain challenge each year that is released in
September, and challenges consist of game like competitions for
children to better under-stand, such as this years form of a
three-dimen-sional vertical Tic-Tac-Toe, taking objects from one
point to another in a
specific pattern, she said. The FTC and the
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and
Technology) organization work to get kids from Kindergarten through
grade 12 inter-ested in learning about science and technol-ogy
through robotics
challenges, she said.It is a fun way to
learn about new technolo-gies, as well as teamwork and strategy,
with a very unique sports model, she said. It also teaches
gra-cious and ethical profes-sionalism at an early age, Haley
Hanson said.
Dutch 200 works
with several chil-drens organizations and schools, such as the
Albuquerque Sign Language Academy, the Albuquerque School of
Excellence, and the Pruitt Reservation, teaching students about
Lego robotics, she said.
Our team has
mentored over 60 First Lego League and First Tech Challenge
teams in our five plus years with the FIRST organization, she
said.
For more informa-tion on Lego robotics and competitions visit

Vautier believes that getting people to be aware without being
paranoid is the best way to ensure
that someone will spot a shooter before anyone gets hurt, he
said.
I want people to have an idea of what to look for with a
person
who may need help, but I also want them to know what to do in
case an active shooter event was to occur on campus, he said.
Deaf Services Coordinator Faith Timm, who attended the Main
campus session, said the training could have been more focused
specifically
on active shooters on col-lege campuses, but still felt it was
helpful.
I thought the training was good and worth my time
and I would recom-mend that all staff and faculty make it to the
training if they can, she said.

Magazine release party announced
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JONATHAN GAMBOA
Previous issues of the Leonardo Literary Magazine.
By Adriana AvilaManaging EditorThe 2013 edition
of Leonardo Literary Magazine is scheduled to be released next
month, said Leonardo adviser and Full-time Creative Writing
instructor Patrick Houlihan.
The release party for this years edition will be held at the
Main campus Student Resource Center on April 5 where stu-dents will
have the opportunity to share their works during the festivities,
he said.
Its a celebration of whats in it. Anyone who is published in it
can stand up and read their stuff and pick up copies, share them
with friends, he said.
Leonardo is funded by through student activ-ity fees and prints
only 250 copies of each edition, which are free, he said.
With the increase of student interest,
Leonardo has grown from tabloid size to an actual magazine
length, he said.
Its grown and sta-bilized over the years to where its now a 50
or 60 page magazine full color and student activities has been
great at funding the
increase costs. Paper and ink took a huge jump about five or
seven years ago, he said.
Being published is a big step for people and it helps a great
deal to write it on resumes, he said.
Its a wonderful resume line to say Im a published author or
artist selected, Houlihan said.
English major and Leonardo editor Shaya Rogers said it is a
privilege to review student works because this years submis-sions
were impressive.
Giving students the opportunity to share their creative work is
a positive aspect of the CNM community and I am so happy to support
that, Rogers said.
Rogers, who also works as the features reporter for the CNM
Chronicle, has three nature photos and two poems featured in the
magazine: one about her challenges with monog-amy and the other an
ode to her sister who commit-ted suicide when she was a teenager,
she said.
Business and Communications major and layout designer Jonathan
Gamboa, who also works at the produc-tion manager for the CNM
Chronicle, said he enjoys designing the magazine because it
gives him the opportunity be creative.
I think its fun. Since I am the only one designing, it allows me
to have more freedom in producing the magazine, Gamboa said.
This is Gamboas second design year and his role for Leonardo
extends further profes-sionally from the mouse and screen, he
said.
I really did get pro-fessional experience doing it the first
year because I was having to stay in touch with the printers and
coordinat-ing the release party with the editors, along with
setting my own deadlines to finish the magazine, he said.
Houlihan said Leonardo used to be a semester project for the
Business and Graphics department, but the magazine became the work
of volunteer stu-dents after the pro-gram was cut a couple of years
ago.
Submissions for Leonardo for 2014 are now being accepted and
deadline for works will probably be in early January 2014, he
said.
Houlihan hopes to
continue the works of Leonardo because of the communitys great
reviews and the benefits
students receive when published, he said.
Its a nice repre-sentation of us to the
community and Id hate for it to disappear, Houlihan said.
