Student government rep declares shenanigans

Art project aims to save homeRundown Las Cruces house attracts ‘Before I Die’ art installation

by James Staley The Associated Press

LAS CRUCES — Unoccupied for decades and left to crumble, an old house sitting on the corner of Hadley Avenue and Tornillo Street shows its age.

Gaping holes in the decom-posing stucco bear adobe bricks, laid there, according to an official estimate, in 1925. A fire 85 years later damaged what was left of the roof and gutted the back of the home.

A group of Las Crucens are hoping to save the deteriorating home in the Historic Mesquite Street neighborhood — one wom-an even set up a heralded, world-wide public art project in front of the house, trying to bring atten-tion to the stressed structure. And

even though the home’s owner has filed with the city of Las Cru-ces an application to demolish it, he said he wants to see it restored.

� e house has been drawing at-tention for the past weeks because it serves as the site of “Before I Die,” an interactive public art exhibit set up to invite “people to share their hopes and dreams in public space,” accord-ing to the website of its creator, Can-dy Chang.

Such chalkboards are set up all over the globe. Lauded as “one of the most creative community proj-ects ever” by � e Atlantic, “Before I Die” boards prompt an array of responses.

Over the past few days, the boards in Las Cruces have inspired people to share personal goals, ranging from sweet — “have a baby” — to fantastic — “sleep with tigers.”

Athletics increase was introduced at the Finance and Facilities meeting. She said the increase was confus-ingly introduced during the budget summit.

“It was very cloudy, the way it was presented, and I think that that is something that we as an institution need to work on,” she said. “It should be clear who is making these sugges-tions and proposals and who is not, and who is ingenious to present one regent’s idea as having come from an entire body.”

But Cullen said he did his best to clarify at the summit that the increase was not a recommendation from the SBLT. He said he believes that

the decision making-process of the regents was transparent, and that the increase was a reasonable move.

“At the regents’ meeting, I tried to make it very clear that it wasn’t the rec-ommendation of the SBLT,” he said. “I think (the regents) are very transpar-ent. Everything was discussed in pub-lic meetings and they were very clear on why it was increased.”

Silva said the University should be more transparent about its decision-making processes.

“UNM needs to work on aligning its processes,” she said. “It’s a problem when the transparency is concen-trated at the bottom with us students, when we all have to be held at a very

high standard of accountability. As you move higher and higher, there’s less transparency.”

Silva said she is upset about regents’ decision to increase the fee for Athletics.

“I think it’s rash to increase stu-dent fees just on Athletics,” she said. “Issuing a 33 percent increase to one applicant is going to be problematic when it comes time to ask students if they’re going to be able to shoulder an additional fee increase to the pro-posed wellness center.”

Recently, the University an-nounced a series of seven pro-posals for possible renovations of Johnson Center and of Student

Health and Counseling facilities, which could result in a further in-crease in student fees.

Associated Students of UNM Pres-ident Caroline Muraida said the re-gents increased the Athletics fee to reflect the average student fee contri-butions to Athletics at other Mountain West Conference universities.

But she said it was not rational to base the increase just on other athlet-ic departments’ averages because the averages did not take into account all relevant information, such as individ-ual universities’ institutional funding, ticket sales, and other related factors.

“Our argument was that their calculation of the MWC was not only

inaccurate but also fairly arbitrary,” she said. “Each of the other universities in the conference has different methods of generating revenue. Just to increase in that sole reason alone is not the wisest business decision.”

Muraida said that in recent years, the regents have upheld or made only minor changes to the SFRB and SBLT’s recommendations — except for those involving Athletics. She said the regents have increased student fees for Athletics drastically during the past three years.

“The regents have a responsibility to maintain a balanced budget to

UNM,” she said. “But as far as the pattern from the last two years, we saw our (Athletics) fees go up from $88 in fiscal year 2010 to $165 per semester. What we’re seeing is a doubling of contribution to one particular applicant without an articulated explanation of what we’re receiving in return.”

According to a transcript of a pre-sentation made during the regents’ budget summit, the regents accepted 25 of the 27 recommendations made by the SFRB this year. In addition to raising the fee for Athletics, the re-gents decided not to fund University Libraries with student fees, but in-stead with Instruction and General funding, which is funding provided by the state.

Muraida said that she was in fa-vor of using I&G funding for Univer-sity Libraries. But she said the regents

failed to consider the students’ inter-est when they approved the Athletics increase.

“We ask them to respect the Stu-dent Fee Review Board process by honoring the integrity of our policy and allowing students to have the first say in recommending allocations in funds,” Muraida said. “We can only hope for a better process next fall.”

Muraida said the SFRB and the SBLT are communicating with the regents about the increase. She said that although the increase seems to be final already, the board will still discuss it at its next meeting in May.

Muraida said she urges students to be more vocal about this issue.

“I think the more the students know, the more they can be in-volved,” she said. “And the more we’re involved, the more we’re heard.”

meet its goal by soliciting donations via mail. He said the station doesn’t usually have to do this, and tries to make it a rarity to preserve its pub-lic image of fiscal responsibility.

“Given the magnitude of the deficit and debt, it’s always going to be an issue,” he said.

Towne said funding for public radio has gone up or down 1 percent every year since 1996, but sequestration cuts were a more dramatic reduction than he is used to.

“When (presidential) candi-date (Mitt) Romney was running, he took a swipe at Big Bird, and he got pounded about it. People support public broadcast, so even though it’s a target, Congress ends up hearing from constituents, ‘No, don’t cut it.’” he said.

Dennis Hamilton, director of consulting at Public Radio Capital, said government funding for public radio will always be volatile, regardless of economic conditions.

The key, he said, is for radio stations in the same area or market to get creative about how they can cooperate and collaborate in the interest of making the most out of limited resouces.

“The long-term success for public broadcast is finding business models and service models that operate with-out government subsidies. Now that’s a big challenge. But our responsibil-ity as stewards of these channels is to preserve and protect them.”

The game of securing government funds has nothing to do with the rel-evance of radio in modern times. Ac-cording to the Arbitron Radio Today 2012 Executive Summary, “about 93 percent of consumers aged 12 years and older listen to the radio each week.”

“Radio listening has stayed really steady,” Hamilton said. “People have this assumption that just because there’s new technology out there that this legacy technology will fail. That’s not the case.”

Editor’s note: This letter refers to an article published in the Daily Lobo April 1, “Despite Lobo contract, Alford bails for Bruins.” The arti-cle was about former Lobo men’s basketball head coach Steve Alford’s decision to go to UCLA rath-er than sign the 10-year contract with UNM to which he had agreed that week.

Editor’s note: This is in response to the ar-ticle “‘SlutWalk’: Sexual assault is not the vic-tims’ fault,” published in Monday’s Daily Lobo. The article was about “SlutWalk Albuquerque,” in which about 200 people arrived Saturday to speak and hear about rape culture and the ob-jectification of females.

Editor,

Let me see if I understand: the straightfor-ward message of SlutWalk is that perpetrators, not victims, are to blame for rape. Maybe inar-guable propositions didn’t always need pro-active PR, I don’t know, but from what I can tell SlutWalk is all about blame, and not about prevention.

“You misogynist dolt, if you got your propa-ganda from an outlet that flatters your intelli-gence, instead of The O’Reilly Factor, you would know that denouncing rape culture is square one in preventing sexual assault.” Agreed. So who is likely to cast aspersions on a scantily clad young lady? Well, largely, other women. “But attitudes can only precipitate rape when they originate from a potential rapist, i.e. a man.” In that case, culture has somewhat less to do with rape than is being claimed. “Well, people can’t expect to never be judged on their appearance. What you wear partially reflects who you are.” Oh great, that’s a relief. For a second there I thought I was

Editor,

I write this letter with slight trepidation, but with a sincere appeal to our sense of com-passion, human love and understanding. For as I reflect on the vast array of gaiety that the month of May offers, I am overwhelmed by clouds of social discord.

When I think of the Lord of my creation and see the attendant mental, physical and cultural anomalies that mark the wholeness of my being, I think, “A loving God created me, but not with 100 percent perfection.” When I see my lovely brothers and sisters of kindred spirits limited by genetic or con-genital defects, I think, “A loving God (deity) shaped that person, but not in the natural pattern of social expectations.”

Today, as I ponder why my brothers and sisters are being condemned by society for being who they are — different, but humans nonetheless — my spirit groans within me. Public discourses surrounding same-sex marriage should not bring out the worst in us. Rather, the light of human kindness should shine its brightest as we give thought to the realities of our contradictions. Same-sex marriage might defy the laws of God in certain religious camps. It does not diminish reproductivity or drain the human pool; countless infants are born yearly without the traditional structures of family settings. In fact, the abusive nature of some parental

households inflict more harm than good upon innocent children. In citing certain biblical principles, is it not true that the first child of our “Father” Abraham was not born within the bounds of a marital union?

I do not advocate for same-sex marriage because of my fleshly choices. I do, however, advocate for common decency, respect and broader thoughts toward those who desire to be coupled with others of their ilk, out-side traditional matrimonial frameworks. We might be able to broaden our worldviews when we acknowledge that those partners just might be our own offspring. May our spiritual minds lead us toward open-mind-edness in dealing with this sensitive issue.

contributing to rape culture. Look, if victims are hesitant to report an at-

tack, it has as much to do with practical, im-mediate exigencies as it does with shame and misplaced disapprobation. If I report a theft or a nonsexual assault, I’m piling the inconve-nience and the (not necessarily, or even usu-ally, malicious) scrutiny of a cold, impersonal bureaucracy on top of my misfortune when all I want is a cup of hot cocoa (or a bottle of vod-ka) and a bath. Quite often people with seri-ous medical problems (recent victims of rape included) refuse to see the doctor for similar reasons. And a rape victim reporting a rape is as likely to not be taken seriously by other women as by men, especially if she looks bet-ter in what she puts on every morning than they and their progeny and the other deni-zens of the snark pow-wows where they con-sole themselves.

As for the facile, self-congratulating XY sol-idarity at SlutWalk, it’s as likely to be genuine (“Yay me, I ain’ts uh raper”) as it is to come from a sub-rosa DP throat-assault porn addict who’s creepin’ while you’re sleepin’ (“I’m not a rapist, I swear. Stop looking at me”). In any case, because I’m awesome just the way I am — cock, balls, heteronormativity and all — I refuse to be shamed for nothing by ineffec-tive, moralizing, bandwagoning PC busybod-ies any more than I would condone anyone’s being shamed for a legitimate lifestyle choice, including sexual assault victims.

(alleged rape) incident in Iowa City on Sept. 6, 2002. The University of New Mexico didn’t care, welcoming him for a desert exile long enough to fade too many memories. None of it appears to matter to UCLA, either.”

-Chicago.CBSLocal.com/2013/03/31/bernstein-ucla-hired-a-scumbag/

My question to you, Daily Lobo, is why are we only hearing about this now from someone in Chicago?

Instead of focusing on who signed what con-tract when, et cetera, we should be grateful Al-ford left for UCLA. Do you want to be associated with someone like Alford?

I suggest the Daily Lobo look into the new basketball coach/millionaire we are hiring. He’s an Alford man, after all.

Otherwise, the cover story on the April 1, 2013 issue of the Daily Lobo will be spot-on about the quality of your journalism abilities.

Band of Horses was trim, but tame

by Annie [email protected]

Band of Horses gives me mixed feelings. Seeing it in concert last week affirmed that, unfortunately. Don’t get me wrong — its unique brand of folk-indie-rock has warmed my being on multiple occasions. But the band on stage did not resemble the genuine and raw impression I once had of it.

The technical aspects of the show were spot-on. In spite of the less-than-optimal acoustics at the Sunshine Theater, the sound was good and clear. In the middle of the song “Infinite Arms,” from its third and most acclaimed album of the same title, the band used a subwoofer that lit the room with reverberation. I felt the vibrations running through my diaphragm and out my throat, and I liked it a lot.

The set and lighting were impeccable, depicting a wooded scene of naked aspens below a colorful and ever-shifting sky. The show, not surprisingly, sold out for this internationally acclaimed band. The musicians played with such precision that it might as well have been playback.

Four of the band’s members dressed in cowboy boots and western shirts while the drummer, Creighton Barrett, sported an authentic dirty tank top. The music has a certain southern twang; the getup and

woodland scenery gave it the air of an outdoor festival in the Carolina backwoods. Ben Bridwell, lead vocals and face of the band, sported a fitted black cap and a slightly scruffy beard that made him look like a real good ol’ boy.

But I wasn’t convinced. The band didn’t bring the Southern comfort; it brought a cold professionalism that did not translate to the audience’s excited anticipation. The only band member who performed with energy was Barrett, who killed on drums with at least an animated accuracy.

After the show I spoke with Blake Hutson, a music major who had traveled up from Las Cruces to see Band of Horses. He has been drawing inspiration from them as an avid listener since the band’s first album, “Everything All The Time,” came out in 2006. He loves Bridwell’s unusual voice, and the band’s unique indie-folk sound. We agreed that it was a well-composed show and that the band played cohesively as a group.

However, the band played mostly music from their last album, “Mirage Rock,” which has a distinctly forgettable mainstream feel. We both agreed that we would have rather seen it three years ago in a less polished, more personal and passionate scenario that left the mirage rock out of the picture.

‘Horses’ show was more dressage than rodeo

Where can you speak to avid fans of cartoon shows in between a ramen-eating contest and a Japanese rock concert? Where else but Sabaku Con?

Last weekend, Sabaku Con (Sabaku is Japanese for “desert”) brought anime and video game fans together for a three-day celebration of nerd-dom. The convention drew in more than 900 attendees for its inaugural event. Convention Chairman Greg Fennell, who has directed similar conventions in Arizona for the last five years, said the local reception was better than expected.

“The excitement factor of a new con really stood out,” Fennell said. “Since we have well-established anime cons here in Arizona, it was nice to see a crowd so energetic for a new convention.”

Sabaku Con, held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, featured guests Troy Baker and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, voice-over actors with credits in “Naruto” and “Ghost in the Shell,” respectively.

Sabaku Con featured nonstop programming Friday and Saturday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 a.m. On Sunday, the convention closed at 6 p.m. The convention’s events included a costume contest, a Japanese fashion show, a rock concert, a rave dance, an exhibitor’s hall of artist and retail booths, a maid café and dozens of fan-hosted panels. Panel topics ranged from educational (“Breaking into the Industry,” “Know your Japanese Meme”) to competitive (“Amateur Voice Acting Competition,” “Anime Jeopardy”) to ridiculous (“Ramen Warrior,” “Whose Line is it Anime?”)

Costumed attendees crowded the hallways during convention hours, stopping every so often to pose for photographs. K’Dawn Butler, one such attendee, made — from scratch — a different costume to wear for each day. Butler said cosplay, short for “costume play,” where fans dress up to represent fictional characters, makes the convention that much more fun.

“You can just prance around in your costume that you worked so hard on and someone will say, ‘Oh

that’s my favorite character,’” Butler said. “And you can just talk with them about that character or series for God knows how long.”

The exhibitor’s hall featured several local and out-of-state vendors offering anime-themed merchandise. In addition, dozens of artists in all different styles had their art and craftwork available for purchase.

James Perry II, a former Albuquerque denizen, was at Sabaku Con this weekend to sell his artwork and promote his original manga “Orange Crows.” Perry also had a collection of prints for sale featuring fan art inspired by anime shows “Cowboy Bebop” and “Adventure Time.” Perry has been attending conventions for the past two years.

“You get to meet a lot of people with similar interests,” Perry said. “It’s a nice escape from the outside world.”

UNM student Kenya Musegades spent most of Sabaku Con as a host in the Tsuki Mochi Maid Café. The café offered patrons coffee, tea, and desserts. The maids also performed choreographed dance routines and skits each session. Musegades said there was never a dull moment at the convention.

“I go to cons because I love cosplaying and getting into character,” she said. “I also enjoy all the awesome people I meet. I’ve met lifelong friends from going to cons.”

During the closing ceremonies, Fennell announced that Sabaku Con will be returning next year around the same time. Attendees were ecstatic at the news.

“On our way out, I was stopped about a dozen times by people thanking me for putting on the show and showing their excitement for coming back next year,” Fennell said.

Sophomore, Kenya Musegades, 20, poses for a portrait in full costume as “Yoko” from the Japanese anime television series “Gurren Lagann.” Musegades said Sabaku Con, a conference held in Albuquerque last weekend for anime and video-game fans, was the seventh convention she had participated in.
