Former student missing; mother asks for help by Elizabeth Cleary news@dailylobo.com

Photo Courtesy of Barbara Davis Colin Bentley, a former UNM student, has been missing since Nov. 29. His mother, Barbara Davis, said she hasn’t heard from her son since a Jan. 3 e-mail, in which Bentley apologized for not checking in. Davis said she is worried about her son’s mental state.

More lab space, fewer professors Biology resources lag behind enrollment by Kallie Red-Horse kallie69@unm.edu

More students are taking biology courses, but the department doesn’t have adequate support to handle the demand. Biology department Chair Richard Cripps said the department has increased offered credit hours by 376 since last year. He said it’s hard to cope with the increase because of limited instructors, lab space, materials and administration. “We have seen the number of biology majors increase by 500 students in five years,” he said. “The numbers have really gone through the roof.” According to the UNM Fact Book, the percentage increase since fall 2006 of both credit hours offered and enrollment in the biology department both fall around 17 percent. However, enrollment has increased 17.45 percent and credit hours have increased 17.2 percent. A quarter of a percent amounts to about 122 students. Associate Chair William

Pockman said the department increased lab and lecture sections, but it cannot keep up with enrollment. He said the lack of space is alleviated by the new Science and Mathematics Learning Center, but budget cuts could eliminate more teaching assistant positions. “The new center should help in theory,” he said. “Suddenly, we have new lab space that is dedicated to those courses, but at the moment we don’t have enough

The mother of former UNM physics student Colin Bentley has not seen her son since Nov. 29, and she said the state of Bentley’s mental health is cause for concern. Barbara Davis said she last heard from her son via e-mail Jan. 3. Before that, Davis said she spoke with Bentley on the phone Dec. 24, and records show that was the last time Bentley used his cell phone. “Hi mom,” Bentley’s Jan. 3 e-mail to his mother reads. “Sorry I have not replied in mucho tiempo. My phone charger stopped working, and I have been unable to locate a new one in the immediate vicinity.” UNMPD Detective Mariann Wallace said in an email to Davis that bank statements from Dec. 1-31 show purchases were made with Bentley’s bank card at eateries in the SUB, various establishments on Lomas Boulevard, at a Smith’s and a Diamond Shamrock. Wallace said more recent bank statements cannot be obtained without a

wide programs. “In one day, I saw over 15 students trying to get into the anatomy and physiology course,” she said. “We had our students e-mail professors and chairs. Because so many students e-mailed and let them know there were so many students, they added a whole other section to the class.” Student Eric Olivas said he had issues getting into the anatomy and physiology course because of lack of teaching assistants. “It seems like really poor planning and budgeting to consider cutting from a program that is so fundamental in getting people started in a health sciences career in any way,” Olivas said. Student Rachel Mnuk said coordinating the lab component of her schedule was difficult. “The labs are sometimes an issue, because unless you get the priority registration, it can be really hard to get it to fit into your schedule, especially when you get to the point where they are three hours,” she said. “If you bug them enough, you can figure it out.” Pockman said the money available in the biology department will determine if it can hire more TAs. At the moment, Cripps said, the department’s lack of resources is discouraging. “We are at a time where resources are limited, money is limited,” he said. “It has been difficult for us to maintain the level of instruction as we want to do.”

subpoena. Davis said she came from her home in Taos with family members on Sunday to paper the UNM campus with missing person fliers. She said she spoke with one employee from the Sonic at the SUB who recognized Bentley’s picture and has seen him in the past few weeks. Wallace reported in another e-mail to Davis that University records show Bentley either withdrew or failed all of his courses from the fall 2010 semester and that he never registered for courses this semester. Davis said her son is having a mental breakdown. She said Bentley’s hair was slightly longer and that he was 15 pounds lighter when she last saw him compared to the photo in the missing person flier. “He’s the kind of person when you ask him how things are, he’ll tell you everything’s fine,” she said. “He will resist assistance and resist help. ... But he’s not OK. He’s really not OK. He’s not functioning.” The missing person flier says Bentley was last seen living in his car, a gray

1986 Honda Accord hatchback, near UNM Hospital on Dec. 23. However, Davis said Bentley’s car was found near the hospital without a battery and towed. She said she called the towing company Monday and Bentley’s car is still sitting in the Budget Towing Co. lot. She wishes to tell Bentley to come home so she can help him get back on his feet. “He’s brilliant,” she said. “He is a brilliant physicist and mathematician. … We just want to know he’s OK.”

Spotlight

Daily Lobo: So what do you do here in this lab in west Castetter Hall? Tomas Valerio: This is a research lab. It is run by Astrid Kodric-Brown. She is the professor that oversees everything. I think there’s five different species of fish in here, and they’re all from Mexico and sub-tropical regions. And the purpose of the research is behavioral analysis. They look at the behavioral patterns, and they look at the genes that might code for those behavioral patterns, and they see how evolution from this fish may have divulged into what’s next. They look at where those patterns created a new species of fish. DL: What do you do on the daily? TV: I watch behavioral patterns or log them. Most of the time it’s making sure the water chemicals are all right. It’s some pretty basic stuff. DL: What are you major-

ing in? TV: Biology. If I was an English major, it would be a little … I write short stories about the fish! DL: That would be cool. It would be entertaining. TV: That would be cool. It’s pretty entertaining as it is. DL: What year are you? TV: I’m in my third year. DL: Do you have a particular interest in fish? TV: I think I have a particular interest in evolution, and when I saw the posting, I went and read about the professor’s work, and I thought it was really cool where they related behavioral patterns with evolution. DL: How do you like working in a glass building with floor to ceiling windows? TV: I guess it’s kind of ironic, isn’t it? I watch the fish, and people watch me. I guess I try not to be selfconscious about it, because there are plenty of people

who are always looking in. But I guess I just go about it. DL: How long have you lived in Albuquerque? TV: I have only lived here three and a half years. I’m from Taos, so the norte region. I love New Mexico. DL: Do you ever see yourself living out of New Mexico? TV: For certain periods of time. DL: But you think you’ll end up coming back? TV: Yeah, exactly. It’s definitely where I’m from. I’m trying to do a study abroad next semester, actually to Argentina because I really want to learn Spanish. I really want to associate myself with New Mexico, but I feel like not knowing Spanish is kind of disconnect. It’s not really a big deal. It’s just my personal situation.

Water supply company transitions ownership Sun City, Ariz. — American Water Works Company has announced it is selling its Arizona and New Mexico operations for an estimated sale price of $470 million. The company said Monday it is selling its operations to Epcor Water USA and requires approve by Arizona and New Mexico utility regulators. American Water serves about 174,000 customers in Arizona and New Mexico, including the Sun Cities northwest of Phoenix. The company employs 220 people in both states. Epcor says it anticipates employees with American will transition over once the sale is completed. In 2010, Epcor entered into an

agreement with American States Water to purchase and operate the Chaparral City Water Company which serves 13,000 customers in the town of Fountain Hills.

Local woman must pay restitution, judge says A federal judge sentenced a California woman to 37 months in prison and ordered her to pay $856,000 in restitution after she pleaded guilty to mail fraud and other charges.

Website reviewers Biosensors to simplify medical care hopes to decry ACC properties Inventor mass-produce product in by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu

American Campus Communities’ latest project, Lobo Village, will open to residents in the fall, but ApartmentReviews.com users gave nationwide ACC properties negative reviews. Reviewers said they encountered hidden parking and “cleaning” fees, floods, collapses, break-ins and poor management, and warned students to take precautions to avoid unfair charges. “Watch out for any existing damage when moving in,” a review of Nittany Crossing dorm in Pennsylvania said. “Document everything and take pictures because they will try and charge you for damages that were there before you moved in.” No more than 55 percent of users recommended ACC communities, and for some communities, the approval rating was as low as 0. ACC representative Jeff Langen said ApartmentRatings.com is an “unrestricted blog that allows competitors an open forum to negatively market against other properties.”

alcohol poisoning,” a review of the ACC-owned Inn at Auraria in Denver, Colo., said. UNM Real Estate Director Kim Murphy said he has been pleased with ACC and Lobo Village so far. He said ACC was chosen through a competitive selection process that involved touring ACC universities projects and interviewing ACC representatives. “ACC will be required to meet several operational objectives,” he said. “If they don’t, they will be in default of the agreement and UNM can take over the project.” Poor management and frequent partying were also common complaints. Lobo Village plans to allow alcohol for students over 21. Positive reviews cited proximity to college campuses, convenience and amenities, like free tanning beds. “If you are smart, lock your doors, and buy some earplugs. Living here will be very comfortable,” one reviewer said. Langen said he cannot gauge the online review sites’ validity, but ACC conducts customer service surveys to get feedback.

“Two kids were stabbed with hatchets this year. One was beaten with a metal pipe, and a 16-year-old girl was taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.” ~From review of ACC-owned Inn at Auraria, Denver, Colo. The website lists more than 1 million reviews for apartments nationwide, according to the site. ACC apartment reviewers complained about poor quality housing and unsanitary conditions. “Since we’ve moved in, our dishwasher has overflowed twice. Both times it took about four days for them to come fix it,” a Royal Village reviewer said. “We have serious bug problems. The walls are paper thin, and I can hear entire conversations in the parking lot as if they’re sitting in my living room.” Reviewers also said safety was an issue. They reported break-ins, stolen belongings, drug deals and dangerous individuals roaming apartment halls. “Two kids were stabbed with hatchets this year. One was beaten with a metal pipe, and a 16-yearold girl was taken to the hospital for

the forseeable future

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

A team of engineers and biologists from the UNM Health Sciences Center and Sandia Labs created an instrument that will help detect biological warfare agents and expedite the diagnosis of infections. Biosensor lead inventor Richard Larson said national anthrax scares inspired him to create an instrument that aids response teams in identifying a suspicious substance. He said in 2005 the Defense Intelligence Agency granted the center funds to develop the idea, and researchers decided the instrument could have other uses. “It’s a platform that allows us to adapt it to the detection of a lot of different infections,” Lar-

son said. ”When we decided to look for civilian applications and medical uses, we adapted it to a variety of more complex viruses and bacteria.” The instrument has two prototypes, but Larson said his team is working to make the instrument available to health care professionals. Right now, it has two components, a set of molecules that capture the detectable virus or bacteria, and a surface acoustic wave detector, which generates a sound wave when a particle of interest is captured. Steve Casalnouvo, Sandia National Laboratories project manager, said the biosensor will hasten diagnoses, but scientists are debating whether it makes the diagnosis cheaper. “I will tell you that this instrument will certainly simplify medical care,” he said. “It will get results much faster than current approaches. It will allow tests to be done in a doctor’s office or an emergency room without having

to take some sample off to a medical diagnostic lab.” Researchers are now working with Adaptive Methods, a manufacturer in Washington, D.C., to figure out an efficient manufacturing process. Once researchers perfect the process, they will submit it for FDA approval. After that, Larson said, the device will be available to health care professionals. He said his team’s long-term goal is to make the device available for at-home use, but that requires more development. “What we’ve been able to do is develop a process to build one or two of these,” he said. “In order to build a lot of them, you actually have to develop a manufacturing process that is able to produce a large number of them. That scale of process is a pretty significant technological challenge, and that’s our current challenge.”

Popejoy, NMSO out of sync Hall has been ‘unforgiving, inflexible’ about $250,000 debt by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu

To cope with declining returns, Popejoy may book fewer New Mexico Symphony Orchestra concerts in favor of more profitable events, NMSO and Popejoy officials said. NMSO currently rents Popejoy as the venue for its “Classics” and “Pops” series concerts, but the Orchestra owes nearly $250,000 in unpaid rent, which has piled up since 2008. Popejoy Director Tom Tkach said the orchestra will continue using the venue, but has to develop a better business strategy.

“We have been, over the last couple years, trying to help them, and we’d like to see them survive,” he said. “We think they’re important to the community, but they have to work out their own business plan in order to get through this time.” In its recent budget recommendations, the President’s Strategic Advisory Team reported that Popejoy accumulated a nearly $3 million deficit, and only 4 percent of its revenue comes from NMSO. The PSAT recommended Popejoy book more popular events in lieu of NMSO concerts. NMSO Spokesperson Leon Sterling said NMSO performed more than 30 concerts at Popejoy last semester and has more than 20 already scheduled for this semester. He said the orchestra is required to pay full price each time it rents Popejoy, whether it fills the hall.

“They happily talk about our debt, but they don’t talk about the fact that they’re one of the reasons we are in debt,” he said. “For them to point a finger at us and call us a source of bad debt, that is really backwards. It’s the other way around. We’re partly in debt because of how unforgiving and inflexible they are.” Sterling said Popejoy is more interested in booking popular shows, like Phantom of the Opera, and gives the orchestra last priority when selecting show dates. He said UNM is trying to address a $28 million deficit by collecting $200,000 from NMSO. “(Popejoy) changed their mission,” he said. “The original mission was to be a community orchestra venue. They were actually built to support NMSO, and now their mission is to be a profit center.”

Letter Together, men and women improved women’s rights Editor, I read with great interest Jenny Gignac’s column, “Feminism goes beyond gender,” and I thought it would be an informative piece about how men and women historically have fought for the political, social and economic equality of women, i.e. feminism. What I found was the historical erasure and trivialization of feminism’s significance in people’s everyday life. That’s not to mention what feminism has meant for Gignac’s life and world ascendancy, especially when finding herself in male-dominated jobs. Did Gignac know that within her lifetime and within the lifetimes of her mother and grandmother, women and men working together passed legislation or advanced the women’s position so that Gignac can vote, stand for political office, sit on juries, go to school and university and work in a maledominated job while receiving the same pay for that work? She also has the right to not be sexually harassed or discriminated against in the workplace, be protected against domestic violence and voice her opinion without fear of ostracism and recriminations for going outside of her “sex.” As we approach Women’s History Month, I hope that Gignac and other Daily Lobo columnists and reporters will attend some of the events to be held on campus and reflect on the historical meaning and significance of feminism and what it has meant for contemporary America.

Letters Closing commission would be a step back for N.M. women Editor, It is difficult to believe that the first female, minority New Mexico governor would consider actions that would prevent other women and girls from aspiring to and attaining the office she holds. It is no secret that New Mexico suffers from high illiteracy rates. The New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women’s mission, vision and value statements are devoted to enabling women from all races, and particularly those impacted by the throngs of poverty, to developing skills and educational competencies that will make them productive contributors in their New Mexico communities. At a time when American children rank 31st in math and science, such actions to destroy a proven entity that changed the lives of disadvantaged women and children is not only un-

Make an effort to stop the ‘witch hunt’ before it starts Editor, In a school where advisement errors, scheduling mix-ups, yellow card/wait list systems that nobody understands, and seemingly endless negative Facebook status’ about UNM seem all too plenty, the last thing that we, as students, need is a witch hunt. Recently, ASUNM President Laz Cardenas created quite the stir when he asked a man videotaping the Student Fee Review Board to turn the camera off. Before we go any further, let me make it clear that I am completely aware that this violates the Open Meetings Act, and I do not think that it was the right thing to do. Already opinions about conspiracies have poured into the “oh-so-reliable” DailyLobo.com. Students are saying that Cardenas is hiding something and that transparency is such an issue. You must be kidding me, right? I knew President Cardenas when he was Sen. Cardenas, and I will let you know firsthand that he is one student leader who cares most about students’ rights. He strives for student input and oftentimes goes against the administration’s desires in order to ensure that students have more

thinkable but a huge, historical step backward. Heart Magazine named Gov. Susana Martinez Woman of Year for her advocacy of children’s issues in 2008. Was this award a mistake? Martinez campaigned on the promise of creating more jobs for New Mexico citizens. Was this just a veiled promise? Here lays a commission helping women transition into jobs by providing job-readiness training and other technological competencies for workforce development. America has largely ignored workforce development and is now suffering dire consequences with the advent of baby-boomer retirements and global competition. New Mexico’s future workforce development depends upon programs offered through the commission. I am a woman, educated in New Mexico and a frequent visitor to New Mexico, planning to retire within the state. Having climbed the corporate ladder, serving as the director of HR for Maricopa County, working in several corporate vice president positions and consulting in places as far away as Belgrade, Serbia, I am appalled at the

limited thought behind this type of action. Although, Martinez comes from a “middleclass family,” successful females in public or private sector service rarely achieve positional status without the help of mentors and programs, such as the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women. Just recently Piers Morgan interviewed the former Secretary of State, a conservative Republican who talked about the benefits of coaching and mentoring and not just from family members. The purpose of the commission outweighs political affiliation, and the citizens of New Mexico understand that important factor. New Mexico will limit its possibilities to compete for industry and grow its economy by destroying one of the most successful contributors to a large segment of the population: women and girls. Hopefully, the decision to eliminate the commission can be thwarted. God help New Mexico.

or give less. Even the idea that Cardenas is hiding something to “pull a fast one” on the student body is laughable. This is the same guy who voted against a student-fee-funded recreational center when everyone else, including myself, voted in favor of it. The article in the Daily Lobo paints a clear picture of the events, but I believe that Editor-inChief Pat Lohmann’s opinion does not. It seems to me like Cardenas was simply worried about the rights of students who were attending that meeting . He messed up, but in no way does he need to be called a “future corrupt politician” on the Daily Lobo website. Although I know that the title of “president” comes with a lot of expectation, I urge students to remember that these are learning opportunities; we attend this University to learn, and a lot of time we learn best by making mistakes. Speaking of mistakes, I believe that the professionalism of Lohmann took a hit when he wrote his last opinion piece. I know that he is a student and has the right to voice his opinion, but his title of editor-in-chief comes with a heavy responsibility. He writes the news, and therefore people believe what he writes to be fact. I have worked with Lohmann before when he was a freelance reporter and I was the assistant news editor of the Daily Lobo, and I know he is a bright student with a lot of potential and a bright future ahead of him.

But to write an opinion piece like he did was irresponsible to his title. I will not even comment about Lissa Knudsen and her constant attention-starved attitude or her need to “stir the pot” without actually accomplishing anything for her constituents. Oops. I will say that for ASUNM and GPSA to split the SFRB would be unwise. This collaboration, although not working well right now, has worked well in the past. Former ASUNM President Ashley Fate worked hard to improve collaboration between ASUNM and GPSA, and to lose that would hurt not only the undergraduate students but the graduate students as well. Cardenas messed up. That’s it. He is a student and learning every day. Having worked both within ASUNM and the Daily Lobo, I think it is important for the student body to understand that both organizations are for young adults to learn. To victimize one party or make another seem like a villain is wrong. Can we all focus on more important things, like teachers losing their jobs or departments losing their funding? How about student fees going up and graduation rates going down? So before this witch hunt goes any further, I implore you, stop.

U.S. to Mexico: Fight cartels By Bradley Klapper The Associated Press

GUANAJUATO, Mexico — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged Mexico to stay the course in an admittedly “messy� war against drug cartels, saying Monday that the Obama administration will help with new controls on the flow of American guns across the border. Clinton gave strong support for Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s battle against the country’s entrenched drug trafficking organizations. And she offered continued U.S. assistance from policing to improving Mexico’s judicial system. More than 34,600 people have died in drug-related killings in Mexico in the four years since Calderon launched the offensive against the cartels. The death toll spiked 60 percent last year. Mayors, police commanders, judges and journalists have been gunned down. Civilians are increasingly being killed and numerous areas remain lawless. The war has only mixed support. Clinton said there was no alternative to confronting the cartels

won’t bother me.’ But a president cannot do that.� With its cobblestone streets and colonial churches, the setting for Clinton’s meeting with Espinoza contrasted sharply with the drug war raging in other parts of the country, particularly along the U.S.-Mexican border and western coast. The U.S. has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in support and will deliver another half-billion in equipment and training this year. It has helped train thousands of policemen and sent helicopters and other crime-fighting technology. Clinton has been frank about the shared American responsibility for the drug problem. Stubbornly high U.S. demand drives the trade, and firearms smuggled from the United States are involved in much of the violence, an issue reinforced by a small group of protesters who greeted Clinton’s arrival with chants and signs saying “No more U.S. guns.� Toeing a sensitive line meant to address Mexico’s concerns while avoiding a fight with firearms supporters in the United States, Clinton said the administration “was committed to doing what could be

can government can rout the cartels quickly. It faces numerous challenges from sentencing criminals to stamping out corruption in its police ranks. Clinton previously has compared the fight to Colombia’s decades-long battle against drug gangs and compared Mexico’s criminal groups to “insurgencies.� Harsher critics even have described the country as in some ways resembling a failed state — an assessment that causes Mexican officials to bristle.

“The drug traffickers are not going to give up without a terrible fight.� ~Hillary Clinton Houston

Secretary of State head-on. “It is messy. It causes lots of terrible things to be on the news,� Clinton said after meeting Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa in the postcard-perfect central Mexican city of Guanajuato. “The drug traffickers are not going to give up without a terrible fight. And they do things that are just barbaric — like beheading people,� added Clinton, who was to meet later Monday with Calderon in Mexico City. “It is meant to intimidate. It is meant to have the public say, ‘Just leave them alone and they

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives asked the White House for the requirement last month, and the move is likely to face stiff opposition from gun rights advocates. Clinton said the bureau should have “additional tools� shortly, but said officials were working to ensure that any regulation “isn’t challenged and it is sustainable.� Few hold out hope that the Mexi-

Let your fingers do the banking.

Frank Melcori’s “Playboy of the Western World” has been a special kind of hell. Albuquerque is dirty and bursting with community theater — the kind of theater you do for free, the kind you do for fun. Those who populate it are usually lawyers-turned-songand-dance men, students led or ruled by a hobby and retired bodies looking for new labors. “Just try it,” our director, Frank, would repeat again and again in rehearsal. “Just see how it feels.” “Playboy” is a 100-year-old Irish play — three acts, split with slang and words from the actual Irish language. What English there is doesn’t really sound like English. It makes learning Shakespeare sonnets look like repeating Dr. Seuss books when you were 3, pretending you could read. Its premiere auspiciously spurred Dublin to riot, which makes for a pretty compelling backstory. “You have the lead in this show and have the most work,” Frank told me repeatedly in personal e-mails. “You are the leading man in a difficult role.” This was not only information that did not help me or my potential performance, but something I didn’t want to hear from the man who was supposed to be my leader. Frank was an odd but harmless bunch of scattered mumbles when I first met him — a grown up Charlie Brown with conniption fits. He muttered weird, inappropriate things like that tipsy, creepy uncle everyone has at family reunions. There was an early rehearsal before I really knew the man, where Bridget S. Dunne, playing my character’s romantic interest, and I met at Frank’s house. It was uncomfortably intimate, but nothing too strange until Frank interrupted our dialogue to tell us a story about how he was watering naked in his garden one morning before being caught by his neighbor. He fled inside. Then we attempted to transition back into pretending we were star-struck lovers all under Frank’s close, careful gaze. Our rehearsal schedule constantly changed. His emails to the cast resembled attempts at communication, but were filled with contractions, poor grammar, misspellings and liberal ellipses. There is a job in any play that is more vital and more work-intensive than the largest part and even the director. This is the stage manager. Every prop, every costume, every actor, every light cue, every line, from the smallest detail to matters of the most imperative importance, are all the responsibility of the stage manager. But we had no stage manager to speak of for all but the last week of rehearsal. This is unheard of for every play ever done at any level of professionalism for a reason — nothing will destroy a show faster than removing the techs. Frank would insist on specific, nonsensical blocking for the actors — things that everyone but him would see as lacking logic. “Just try it,” he’d say. “Just see how it feels.” I would talk to Frank away from everyone else as things got worse and worse, as he began the first week of rehearsal to give me line readings, speaking my lines out loud for me to parrot. I cannot imagine a more damaging cardinal sin in directing, but Frank leveled with me.

“I realize everyone’s schedules are getting screwed up,” he told me. “I realize it’s not easy. It’s not easy for me too, you know. My personal life is surely getting f***ed up because of all this. I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but since you’re the lead —” These conversations never went anywhere good. I saw Frank more than my family, the sheer size and difficulty of my part consuming my life. I thought I was reaching my breaking point, so I reached out to Frank in an e-mail. “If you don’t let us help you put this play together, it will fall apart,” I wrote. “What the cast needs is direction, structure and purpose, but this clusterf*** is driving us all mad. I know it can’t be easy on you either, so we need something structured and solid as soon as humanly possible so we can all help you do our part.” Frank didn’t like this much. He wrote me back, and the first half of the e-mail started like the rest of his weird, rambling e-mails, but in the middle, his tone suddenly shifted. “Oh, and one more thing.” he wrote. “Don’t ever send me an e-mail like that to me again. It was abusive and disrespectful.” He finished, “Remember, a lot of people are doing a lot of things to allow you to inhabit this great role. You owe them your respect.” So he was lashing out — in a bizarre, childish way — but I backed off. I apologized. Better to swallow my pride for the sake of the show than to convince a man he didn’t know how to lead. But he got worse. When addressing the whole cast, he would make catty, passive-aggressive snipes at me. He would separate the actors as “young” and “old,” creating a split in the cast none of us wanted. This split was spelled out in a general e-mail he sent detailing a meeting he’d conducted with the “old” that read like a confession: “I also thought about how our meeting gradually turned into a gripe fest with each of us and, lamentably, myself included taking potshots at cast members, young and old, and blaming actor’s inadequacies and inconsistencies when it’s myself (is it me?) that is ultimately responsible,” he wrote. “I’m afraid the only asshole in that group, mentioned or otherwise, was myself. A director can’t betray his show or throw his cast members under the bus.” Just before we opened last Friday, he wrote me one last e-mail. “I think you’re a pretty immature kid who has an overly inflated idea of his talent and his opinion,” it read. “You really don’t have any respect for the process unless it flows from your point of view.” “Your Christy is not what I have in mind …” he wrote, “and I’ll have to accept that.” But the play is good. It is good not because of Frank, but in spite of him. Despite Frank’s attempts to sabotage the play from the inside, it has turned into something powerful, interesting and unique — solely because of the actors’ considerable talent. I’m glad I’ve had the privilege of working beside them. It’s Frank’s name that is on the front of the program and plastered over every flier. But this is not his play. It’s ours.

Cryptic messages written on the sidewalk. Vaguely unsettling black-and-white pen sketches. Strange things found with the daily newspaper. These things fall under the purview of “The Handshake Drug” creator Jeffrey Hertz. Hertz created the pamphlet (known as a ’zine) that features his poetry, drawings and short essays, and is distributed, without permission, in Daily Lobo newspaper boxes. “I thought it was almost like a statement to put them in the Daily Lobo boxes, like an independent voice rising up,” he said. “Rather than constantly being subject to an objective approach through the Daily Lobo or some kind of daily newspaper, I wanted to hear somebody taking a stand on things.” This was not Hertz’ first distribution method choice, but he found it to be the simplest one. “I’d rather have distribution personal, rather than sticking it in a box and having people pick it up,” he said. “I’d rather give out 10 to a person here, 10 to a person here, and have that person give out 10, and have that person give out 10, so it’s always hand-to-hand and always face-to-face. I really believe in that contact.” The ’zine is promoted through a guerrilla-marketing style that’s somewhat intentionally bewildering. Hertz chalked the ’zine’s title all over campus, with no explanation of what it is or where to find it — just “The Handshake Drug.” “I’m not saying, ‘Pick up The Handshake Drug.’ It’s almost like subliminal messaging,” he said. “I keep seeing people walking around, and they look down, and it’s almost like they keep looking down, and

they’re not necessarily completely soaking it in, but that name, ‘The Handshake Drug,’ is slowly being drilled into their head.” Hertz said he got the idea to write these mysterious messages around campus from spray-paint art around Albuquerque, and especially 516 gallery’s StreetArts festival at the end of last year.

that he finds powerful. “It’s that idea of passing on, the exchange, from a handshake,” he said. “I love the image that it strikes up, ‘The Handshake Drug’ … I find hands to be a very powerful symbol and a handshake to be a very powerful embrace.” Hertz’ interest in human contact led him to delete his Facebook page,

“I consider Facebook to be a drug. Anything addictive in quality and manipulating your behavior can be a drug. In an ironic way, I want this to be a drug.” ~Jeff Hertz ’Zine Creator “I really wanted to make the world my canvas,” he said. “Obviously through these ’zines, I’m limited to a certain amount of space. So I want to expand my art to a bigger canvas. I was trying to find a way to do that that wasn’t illegal.” Contact is a major theme in Hertz’ work, beginning with the title of his ’zine. The name “The Handshake Drug” is taken from the title of a Wilco song describing a drug deal, Hertz said, but he felt the phrase had wider implications. “I feel like anything could be seen as a drug,” he said. “That’s everything that you put into your body, anything that you can read, anything that you see on television. I consider Facebook to be a drug. Anything addictive in quality and manipulating your behavior can be a drug. In an ironic way, I want this to be a drug.” The title has a second implication for Hertz, conjuring an image

and he said the social-networking site is one of the things that bothers him in today’s culture. “My biggest pet peeve is definitely Facebook,” he said. “I saw people abusing it, as a social-networking tool. I kept seeing people hiding behind a computer screen and poking each other, with that tool that they have, poking each other rather than sitting down over a cup of coffee, or actually having a handshake.” This ties in to the theme of “The Handshake Drug’s” third issue. Each issue revolves around a particular theme, most of which would be considered “radical,” politically speaking. The third issue, “Wanna Know the Meaning of Your Life? Google It,” deals with themes of alienation in a high-tech society. Other themes include environmentalism, addressed in an issue, “Just Because the World Itches

their own art or comment on “The Handshake Drug,” and he said his goal with the work is to get more people to express themselves. “I feel like so many UNM students, maybe, they struggle, feeling more like they’re a number than they’re a name,” he said. “And that’s what you go through going to a major university. I think now I’ve done that. I’ve taken matters into my own hands, and I’ve stepped out from being a number, and I’m being a name. … I’m trying to encourage people to step out with a voice, and step out from the crowd, and try to do something. Try to say something.”

Doesn’t Mean We Need To Scratch It,” and fast food, in an issue called, “We Don’t Eat Just To Shit.” Hertz addresses the consumerism of the Christmas season in the most recent issue, “When Capitalism Fingers Your Wallet, You Can’t Help Splurging.” “Right before the holidays, I kept hearing my friends and family saying, ‘Oh, I’ve gotta go get this for this person. I’ve gotta go get that,’” he said. “It’s like this feeling, this obligation, that you’ve gotta go to the store and buy something for your loved one in order to prove that you love them. I thought ‘Gosh, I’m sick and tired of hearing people say that.’” This motivated Hertz to find an alternative (and free) way to express his feelings during the holidays. “I wrote poems for my friends, my family, and they appreciated it more than any other gift I’ve ever given them in the past,” he said. The ’zine, although distributed at UNM, has spread to other parts of the city, Hertz said. “I hear from somebody that, ‘Oh yeah, I saw your ’zine at a house party down in the South Valley on somebody’s fridge,’” he said. “ …. I’m striving for these things to spread and to make their way through the world, but hand-to-hand.” “The Handshake Drug” accepts submissions from anyone who wants to contribute, although the four issues have been produced exclusively by Hertz.

Chile is the spice of life by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu

After a six-month study abroad session in Chile, I learned a lot about the mysterious, unknown South America. Here are some of my findings: The earthquake Evidence was visible everywhere. The sidewalk tiles are broken, have holes and random drop-offs, and when it rains, it all turns into puddles that are easy to fall into. Several 20-story buildings have broken windows, and the roof and/or walls have giant cracks that span six feet or more. The food In Chile, food was a mixed experience for me. The popular food that all the university students eat is a completo (hot dog). And this is no ballpark hot dog. This is a 12-inch boiled hot dog, in a bun slathered with mayonnaise, avocado (which I am always in favor of ), diced tomatoes and onions, some ketchup or mustard, and probably some more mayonnaise. I will remember some Chilean dishes fondly, such as a parrillada (mixed grill). It’s a cast-iron bowl brought out steaming with freshly cooked meat and potatoes. Under the bowl is a pile of coals to keep it warm. The tabletop barbecue includes chorizo, pork chops, flank steak, blood sausage, a chicken leg and three boiled, skinned potatoes. The avocados in Chile were always ripe, and you never had to leave them out for three days to eat. The onions in Chile are so big I had a hard time picking one up with just one hand. And when I went to the fería (open-air market) I would come back with a 15-pound bag of potatoes for only $2. The fashion and music Chile, in some manners, exists in a time warp. Chilean fashion is similar to American fashion in the 1980s. The mullet is popular, and it comes in all shapes and sizes. The mullet with a single dreadlock in the back is one example of how they elaborated on the timeless hairstyle.

Spring 2011

Zach Gould / Daily Lobo An old Volkswagen Bug sits idly on the street in Valparaiso, Chile. Valparaiso is known for its art culture, hills and stray dogs. Acid-washed jeans are popular, as well as floral-print tights and leggings. Music seems to be stuck in the 1980s as well; A popular band in Chile is Guns N’ Roses. When people aren’t jamming out to some hard rock, they are doing karaoke in a bar with friends. Stray dogs There are more stray dogs in Chile than there are places to order a breakfast burrito in Albuquerque. On every block, you see a dog running timidly up behind someone to sniff a hanging hand. Dog shit is everywhere. I was walking around for three hours and snapped a picture of every stray animal I saw. At the end of the three hours, I had about 50 pictures of dogs sprawled around the city. The nature Most stunning in all of Chile was the nature. The Atacama Desert, in the north, has no record of rain in the last 400 years. Throughout the country, there are beaches, forests, mountain ranges, pastures, and each is stunning in its own way. The most incredible beach I’ve ever seen is on an island called Chiloé. The water, a mix of sea and river water, was freezing, but it felt good on tired feet. In my last week in Chile, I went

down to the southern tip, near Antarctica, and did a seven-day tour of Patagonia. That was one of the best weeks in Chile, because I was active everyday, hiking The W in Torres Del Paine, as well as horseback riding on a sheep ranch through herds of llamas. The people Overall, it was the Chilean people who I connected with most. In the beginning, Chileans are not the most outgoing people. They are not going to start talking to you if they’ve never met you. But once you have any sort of connection to what they are talking about, or a friend in common who can introduce you into the group — you’re in. The people were curious about why I had chosen to study in Chile, and what life was like in New Mexico. I think one of the most valuable aspects of traveling is when your stereotypes are proven wrong, and your worldview is broadened. South America is often thought of as a dangerous place where there is only poverty, corruption and crime. But the same things exist in the United States. I think that they are just harder to see here because we have based our nation on the idea that everyone is treated equally, and freedom is a door-prize.

Fractals basis of curiosity Fractal competition will teach kids math skills

The Fractal Man’s vision of future learning will coincide with a celebration of a newly designated historic building. The Fractal Foundation’s annual Fractal Challenge invites Albuquerque elementary, middle and high school students to manipulate already-existing formulas in the computer program Xaos to generate their own fractals. Jonathan Wolfe, the executive director of the Fractal Foundation, said the exercise incorporates math, science and art, and it changes the way students view participants. “There’s been this unfortunate situation where the kids who like math and science are not necessarily the most popular kids in the school,” he said. “That was my experience. We’re changing that because now the cool kids are the ones who are winning the Fractal Challenge.” This year’s top places were awarded to three Monte Vista Elementary School students, and large-scale reproductions of their fractals will be on display on the building’s exterior. The work will be unveiled Monday, as well as a plaque from the National Registry of Historic Places commemorating the school’s anniver-

sary. The installation, which Wolfe estimated costs $7,000 to $8,000, was paid for by the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, an organization that helps fund nonprofits and cultural organizations. Monte Vista teacher Jeff Tuttle said he suggested the school participate to help beautify the school’s bare walls and give students a unique learning experience. “When you take a kind of surreal vision of something like that and make it real, imagine that from a kid’s perspective,” he said. “It’s excellent that our school celebrates our kids to that degree, and this program allows for that kind of celebration.” Wolfe has been visiting schools and educating students about fractals for the last six years. So far, he said, he has taught more than 26,000 students. Tuttle said the challenge caters to inquisitive students. “They have no compunctions about exploration, which is what school is supposed to foster — that curiosity,” he said. “This is exploring the infinite horizons of possibilities, and the notion that they are maybe seeing something new that nobody else has seen or explored in the fractal software.” Fifth-grade winner Ryan King said she was intrigued by fractals. “I was introduced to them in third grade,” she said. “It seemed really cool, just the way they are. They never end, and they’re never the

same, either. There’s just a whole bunch of different ones. It’s just fun to find them.” Third-grade winner Elisabeth Christensen-Brown said the program allows users to visually manipulate an existing fractal to create a new image. “You could just kind of do it, zoom in and make it how you want it, but you didn’t have to type in numbers,” she said. “It was easy.” Wolfe said incorporating fractal learning into school systems will build on an already-growing interest in fractals. “I want to fractalize this program all over this world so there are little copies of the same thing happening everywhere, inspiring people,” he said. “Albuquerque students are doing amazing, cutting-edge things that honestly no other city in the world is doing. This is very much the next generation of how we’re going to teach math and science.”
