Judge: Professor can keep money UNM to decide in coming week whether to appeal by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
A district judge rejected a University attempt to take back $11,000 in unemployment pay from former English professor Joy Harjo, ruling that the administration effectively forced the Native American author to leave her post. Second District Judge Ted Baca ruled last week that UNM administrators forced out Harjo after she complained about instructor Lisa D. Chavez moonlighting with students on a sado-masochist website. “(Harjo) was no longer able to do her job effectively because of her own mental state and the realities of the program,” the judge’s ruling said. “Harjo legitimately felt humiliated, degraded and concerned for her job.” The University took Harjo to court to have her repay $11,000 in unemployment compensation because UNM claimed she left her position voluntarily. Harjo resigned October 2008. Baca dismissed the claim and said Harjo resigned because a situation existed in which she was unable to perform her job and was forced to leave. He cited testimony that Harjo’s reputation was tarnished within the department. The department chair screamed at her in public, and Chavez threatened to file lawsuits against her, according to testimony. University legal counsel is reviewing the case to determine if it will appeal the court’s ruling, UNM spokesperson Carolyn Gonzales said. A decision should be made by next week. Harjo’s attorney Catherine Baker Stetson said she is ready to defend her client if the University appeals. “I don’t think they’ve been smart so far,” Stetson said. “They’ve caused themselves more trouble than they needed to. Now they’ve created a lot of additional publicity.” The episode began when the English Department received an anonymous letter that revealed Chavez and fellow graduate students posed on a sado-masochist website. At the time, Chavez had been working for the website as a phone-sex dominatrix under the pseudonym “Mistress Jade.” The University reviewed misconduct complaints against

Egyptian student: Don’t forget protesters by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
Student Randa Elbih said she wishes she could join her family members who have taken to the Egyptian streets. Elbih participates in the local effort to support the Egyptian people. She is a UNM Ph.D. student and studies language literacy and socio-cultural studies. She said she regularly attends and organizes protests in the area. “I was feeling like I needed to go and be there, and that there were people sacrificing their lives there for us,” she said. “And I’m not doing as much as they’re doing.” Elbih said she is concerned that the

Sharpton to talk about labor, civil rights by Elizabeth Cleary news@dailylobo.com
Famed racial justice and human rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton will give a free and open-to-the-public speech today at the SUB to advocate for the labor movement. Sharpton’s speech, “The Role of Government,” is sponsored by African-American Student Services and serves as the kick-off event for New Mexico’s African-American Day on Friday. “We need to get labor and civil rights communities to work together to make sure we create jobs,” Sharp-

Sharpton told the Daily Lobo he will discuss the issue with the Legislature in Santa Fe. UNM doesn’t host black leaders of this magnitude often, and Sharpton’s speech will provide a unique educational opportunity, said Scott Carreathers, African-American Student Services director. “I think a lot of our students don’t either grasp or maybe not even care … about the past, but I think that’s so important that you can have an icon like Rev. Al Sharpton here to possibly talk about that, and just the role of the government and how that affects us presently and for the future,” he said.

Backstage: Cameras for kids Editor’s Note: Backstage is a semi-monthly, behindthe-scenes photo column by Photo Editor Junfu Han. It peers into people’s personal and professional lives. The photos were taken by children during a photography class at Amigos en Cristo, a community center in JuĂĄrez, MĂŠxico. Daily Lobo Photo Editor Junfu Han is working on a project in Colonia Anapra, JuĂĄrez, MĂŠxico. His work is inspired by “Born into Brothels,â€? a movie that gave impoverished Indian children cameras to teach them photography. Han visits JuĂĄrez twice a month to give children in Anapra the same opportunity. He hands out cameras so they can take pictures of their world. The projects seeks children’s perspective on drug-related border violence, because as art critic John Berger said, “The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe.â€? Contact the photo desk at photo@ dailylobo.com to learn more about helping Han with his project.

Snowpocalypse could be costly by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu
Because of bone-chilling weather, UNM kept its doors closed much of last week, but repair expenses and employee overtime will cost the University some cold, hard cash. Physical Plant Director Mary Vosevich said the University should determine the costs of the freeze early next week. She said PPD is anticipating two more cold nights and possibly more damage. “We have staff working at night that normally don’t,� she said. “They’re walking the buildings, looking for problems, and trying to take care of those before they really become a disaster for us.� In response to the emergency, UNM required around-the-clock building patrol and switched its energy converters to run on diesel fuel. The University stopped running on diesel late Friday. Over the weekend, pipes burst outside Zimmerman Library, damaging staff offices and study spaces. Most of the damage occurred in the basement, where PPD placed fans and dehumidifiers to dry water, according to Zimmerman Library’s webpage. Library Information Specialist Kathleen Garcia said staff members with basement offices had to be relocated. She said staff will likely be displaced until next week. “We still haven’t heard how long it take to get everything fixed,� she said. Redondo residents also had
to leave their dorms for about an hour after water pipes broke last Thursday. “The fire department showed up, and you could see water puddles dripping out,� Redondo resident Romilly Tsinhnahjinnie said. Vosevich said PPD dealt with pipe breakage in buildings numerous buildings around campus. The department reported that in addition to damage at Zimmerman and Rodondo, a water line broke in Mesa Vista Hall and a boiler malfunctioned last week. The boiler’s loss led to cooler building temperatures, but Vosevich said damage could not be assessed until the boiler was fixed and heat restored to buildings. “If you’re the person in Mesa Vista Hall where the line broke, you’re not going to think we fared pretty well,� she said. “But when you think of the amount of space on this campus and the things that have happened, they really were numbers that were not so bad.� UNM spokesperson Susan McKinsey said PPD employees’ work minimized damage to campus. “Given the fact that our buildings are old, and the infrastructure is aged, we’re doing pretty well,� she said. Vosevich said PPD prepares for emergencies and knows where to appropriate funds. “Sometimes we have to sacrifice in other areas,� she said. “We get through these periods. We know that things are going to happen. It’s the nature of the business.�

Hosni Mubarak to step down, even though it ordered the Egyptian army not to harm the protesters. “We are not servants or peasants to the government,� she said. Carver said college students need to speak out against human rights violations. “The people who are standing up in the East are a teaching model for Americans as a whole,� he said. Elbih said that people have lost their lives standing up for Egyptians’ freedom. “I know the government is pushing them to go home and go on with their lives as if nothing has happened,� she said. “For them, I don’t think life is going to be the same anymore.�

Chavez but ruled there was no wrongdoing. Harjo, a creative writing professor, demanded the department reprimand Chavez. However, Harjo said she was forced to leave her teaching position at UNM because her work environment grew hostile after she spoke out. Although Harjo hasn’t filed a lawsuit, two other UNM employees, Sharon Warner and Diane Thiel filed suits claiming the University retaliated against their complaints about Chavez. Teddy Warner, Sharon’s husband, filed a third suit against the University, citing retaliation for his wife’s actions. Harjo now makes money doing readings and lectures, but has not found a permanent job since she left UNM. “She didn’t quit to go to a better job,� Stetson said. “She quit this job on a matter of principle.�

LETTER U.S. wants Americans to keep stealing, hogging resources Editor, The United States has deliberately supported bloody, greedy regimes that have robbed, tortured and murdered their own people in dozens of nations: Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Zaire, Fiji, Ethiopia, Rhodesia, South Africa, Pakistan, Brunei, Argentina, Liberia, Honduras, Paraguay, Panama, El Salvador, Indonesia, Taiwan, Greece, Brazil, Portugal, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Turkey, Morocco, Spain, Vietnam, Peru, Philippines, Cuba, Haiti, Chile, Guatemala, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Mexico. If we believe the U.S. empire works for worldwide justice, freedom, democracy and human rights, we have swallowed the abominable U.S. lies and propaganda. We have been terribly deceived and duped. The U.S. empire is the enemy of justice, freedom, democracy and human rights. The U.S. empire’s main goal is to make sure that most Americans, especially the corporations and the elite, keep stealing and hogging the world’s wealth. The U.S. is less than 5 percent of the world’s people, but consumes 25 percent of the world’s resources. Nothing in my life is more important than refusing to pay federal income tax for U.S. wars. No job, no salary, no romantic relationship, no house, no car, no degree, no art, no furniture, no trips, no gadgets … The best way to refuse to pay federal income tax for war, with no fines and no threats from the government, is to live simply — below the taxable level. I lived well for all of 2010 on $4,126 — less than one of the federal income taxable level of $9,350 for me as a single person. I have paid no federal income tax for 32 years. I pledge publicly, at age 65, to live simply, to not own a car and to not pay federal income tax for war for the rest of my life. Don Schrader Community member
COLUMN
It’s not about me; it’s about the group friends better because your friends have learned how to avoid your bitchy spurts. Maybe you’ll be happier working with your friends, but you’re certainly going to learn less in the long run. That’s why, against my better judgment, I think it’s better when teachers assign groups instead of letting students choose their own groups. When given a choice, students are likely to befriend students that represent and echo their beliefs, but in a society that already promotes echo-chamber practice, the last refugee for forced interaction with groups outside your social norm is in the classroom.

There are many things I hate in this world — Axe body spray, zombie spiders, AT&T’s desperate, “Please don’t leave us for Verizon” iPhone campaign — but few I feel as conflicted about as classroom group work. On one hand, group work sucks. It really sucks. I mean Dyson vacuum-level sucking. You either get put into a group that does no work, terrible work, or the wrong sort of work. On top of it all, your grade suffers, and there’s nothing you can do about it except scream and run around in circles while cursing at the troublesome group member. Except that seems to be frowned upon the more often you do it. The best thing you can hope for, supposedly, is getting into a group with your friends, who share the same mindset as you and screw around with them until everything is done. But you miss something when that happens. Chances are, your friends like you, and if they don’t like you, they are at least nice enough to not tell you how much you suck to your face. Furthermore, your friends are less likely to challenge your opinions because these are likely people who agree with your opinions, or have heard your thoughts about the Middle East enough times to never want to hear them again. In this sense, you get along with your
DL
The point is simple: Classrooms don’t need to be another place to hear your own echoing voice. Just think about it for a second. You choose the restaurants where you want to eat, the places where you hang out, and for the most part, the people you interact with. And this is just in your normal life. For the left-leaning, MSNBC tells you everything you want to hear, and for the rightleaning, Fox has your back. If you don’t care about politics, there are plenty of channels to placate you as well. Comedy Central is for the so-called comedy lover, Lifetime for women, TBS for high school drop-outs, and the WB for the radioactive mutants in the sewers. It’s even worse online. Every website you go to is a website you are OK with. Unless you accidentally stumble onto a different site, the URLs you visit reverberate and correspond with your sense of humor and personal values. If they don’t, you leave the site. Simple. The world is now set up in such a way that you can find an echo anywhere you’re

looking for it. In essence, you never have to be wrong because you can always find a voice telling you are right. This practice, accordingly, can lead people to thinking they are always right, which in turn makes them unbearable to be around. And this is where working in groups with people who suck comes in handy. The stakes are often low, usually just a grade for a class, but important enough where you’ll have to try and work with one another. Maybe that Republican is actually really good at drawing with pencils, or that leftist is actually a good leader, or maybe that radioactive mutant is even good at expressing human emotions and working in a group (though it will still eat you given half a chance, so watch it). But more importantly, these people don’t like to or have to spend lots of times with you, which means they care much less about hurting your feelings. They won’t echo your demented viewpoints ad nauseam because, they, unlike you, think you are wrong. And maybe you are, but you would never know it stuck in the echo chamber. The point is simple: Classrooms don’t need to be another place to hear your own echoing voice. And if you think they are, stop. Please just stop. You make things unbearable for everyone, and no one likes you, your face, or your shoes. Especially your shoes. I am losing control again, and I apologize for it. I have had some of the worst and best learning experiences in groups. I’ve learned how to manage unresponsive and lethargic group members. I’ve learned to work with bossy know-it-alls who know nothing at all. And I’ve met plenty of people that I would have never met otherwise had it not been for the intervening hand of a random teacher’s group assignments. And I have learned things that I would never learn otherwise. I have learned that I am wrong, which is one of the best, yet most disgusting and painful, lessons a person can learn. Which means I’m right.

Slow Pokes can’t mount furious finish by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
After seeing its coach fired with enthusiasm, Wyoming entered the Pit fired with enthusiasm. Without head coach Heath Schroyer, who was dismissed early in the week, the one-conference-win Cowboys gave the UNM men’s UNM 68 basketball team all it could hanWYO. 57 dle. Too bad for the Pokes, it wasn’t enough, and the Lobos employed late-game, full-court press to close Wednesday’s contest, 6857. “The bigs were banging. The refs were letting it go,” UNM center Drew Gordon said. “It was basically just a matter of who was going to end up with the ball who wants to put the ball in the basket.” Physically, UNM was too much down the stretch. Up three late in the game, the Lobos forced four straight turnovers, cashing in with three wideopen transition dunks. The Lobos improved to 17-7 and 5-4 in the Mountain West Conference. For a half, Wyoming outplayed the Lobos. The Cowboys darted through screens, bumped through open lanes and frustrated UNM to take an early 11-7 first-half lead. Wyoming’s Amath M’Baye headed to the bench midway through the first half having scored his team’s 11 points. He finished with 19 points, but the Lobos used that four-minute stretch to pull away. Down five, head coach Steve Alford called a timeout to calm his team, and after the break, Gordon led UNM’s surge. On their first possession after the
timeout, Dairese Gary found Gordon for a quick basket. Gordon finished with his seventh double-double, 16 points and 18 rebounds. It was the most rebounds by a Lobo in a regularseason game since Kenny Thomas did it in 1998. “Everybody was playing in their spots, and my team was spacing well, running the offense and then boxing out, and the ball just kinda ended up in my hands,” Gordon said. The first half had nine ties and 12 lead changes, and throughout the second half, it remained a seesaw affair. UNM, working its transition game, found guard Tony Snell on multiple occasions for uncontested 3-point shots. Growing comfortable being the Lobos’ deep threat, Snell hit his first three long-range attempts. He was 5-of-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 19 points. “My confidence came back up,” Snell said. “At the beginning (of the season), I was kind of lost, but now that I know the system, my confidence is back, and I know what I have to do.” Despite Snell’s early play, the Lobos were still down with minutes left in the first half. Late in the half, Alford went to a five-guard set, and Gary took an inbound pass from guard Kendall Williams to mid-court, then hit Phillip McDonald who rushed the basket with a two-handed dunk to end an authoritative fast break. The Lobos dominated the second half with heavy inside play from Gordon and kept the Cowboys on their heels with full-court pressure and light-speed transition offense. “It was a good win for us,” Alford said. “Those are never easy. “In a night where we didn’t make a lot of shots, we found a way.”

Feel the love with a little effort V-day for broke blokes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Thanks to overwhelming displays at Walgreens and commercially planted expectations, Valentine’s Day has been all but ruined by overly high expectations. This year, toss out ideas about buying expensive jewelry, chocolate and fancy dinners. Personalize your plans and think about what your date will love. Still drawing a blank? Here are some ideas to get on a love train of thought: Long-term relationship For such a sentimental holiday, nothing could be better than reminiscing about the past with your sweetheart. You could go to the place you met or do what you did for your first date. If you decide a gift is appropriate, you could make the wrapping paper yourself. Collage plain paper with images that illustrate your relationship’s history, heart-melting moments you experienced together — anything that you associate with your relationship. Student Thomas Morgan, who has been in a relationship for two and a half years, said as long as you’re with the person you love, nothing else matters. “Valentine’s Day to me isn’t about going and doing things, or spending
money, or buying gifts or any of that,” he said. “It’s about being with the person. Anything else just seems to me really superficial, just completely unnecessary.” Short-term relationship If you’ve been steadily dating someone, but aren’t quite so serious about the relationship, do something that will bring the two of you closer together. The best part about casual relationships is that Valentine’s Day doesn’t require an elaborate effort on either party’s part. Student Sydney Hodge said the ideal date for a green couple would be to share a fun experience. “I would like to go do something different,” she said. “Rock climbing, go somewhere random for weird adventures and just talk a lot. Picnics are cute, too.” Something fun might be to ride just outside the city for some star gazing. This can be a light-hearted adventure and even inspire memorable conversations. If you’re low on cash, hop on a bicycle, venture around town and explore the natural beauty New Mexico has to offer, especially right around dusk. Romantic date Regardless of how long you’ve been dating a person, you can use this day to take the relationship to a more inti-
mate level. Student Michael Shoemate said figure out what love means, and find a way to manifest those ideas during a date. “Love is innocent and fragile,” he said. “It’s falling asleep watching a movie together and helping each other when you’re sick. Love is sexy. Love is real, but the best thing about love is that it’s all of those things and whatever else you want it to be.” Either party can be successful by creating a homemade gift. Possibilities are endless. Cards are easiest. Even if you don’t consider yourself much of an artist, your girl or guy will cherish your attempt at expressing affection through poetry, drawing, or painting. The fact that you tried says more than any cliché Hallmark card could ever convey. Just met You got lucky and landed yourself a date on Valentine’s Day. Since there are no issues, like struggling to please with the perfect way of saying, “I love you,” you can spend this day just getting to know each other. You can venture into the mountains on a hike, make a dinner together and maybe have dessert, watch a terrible chick flick and have fun bashing the corniness, or double date with another new couple.

Being broke sucks on Valentine’s Day. As adults, we have to realize digging a half-eaten Snickers from between the couch cushions just isn’t going to cut it anymore — I don’t care if that’s what your dad got your mom for their anniversary three years in a row. The Daily Lobo is proud to present three great, free Valentine’s Day ideas. Keep in mind that some of these ideas could actually become quite expensive if you factor in your bail bond. Sex in a public place This is sure to rejuvenate your boring sex life, because, after all, what’s more romantic than getting down in the bathroom of a Carl’s Jr.? Remember, the grosser and more public, the sexier. You can mix the two — a sewage drain is plenty gross, but there’s really no chance anyone else is going to come down there. On the flip side, if you do it in your own front yard, the whole neighborhood will be sure to notice, but your yard probably isn’t sufficiently dirty, unless you live in the student ghetto. Ideal spot: a McDonald’s kitchen at lunchtime. Completely disgusting and filled with people. Robbing a jewelry store We know — you’re reading a free student newspaper, which means you’re
too poor to afford a copy of the Albuquerque Journal, so you can just forget about hitting the Uptown Shopping Center to pick up something shiny for your sweetheart. So, just steal something. Much like sex in public, the thrill comes from the chance of getting caught, but the advantage of robbing a jewelry store is that you’ll have a perfect Valentine’s Day diamond necklace to give to your true love afterward. Or, if shopping for a guy, stick up a Game Stop. Either way. Voyeurism Yeah, your Valentine’s Day is going to suck. Accept it. You’re broke, and you’re a slob, and assuming you go to UNM, you also lack a basic education. But there are other people who are having nice Valentine’s Days. You can alleviate some of your personal misery by heading out with your girl/guy friend and watching these other people. Get some binoculars to safely see into people’s windows from a distance, especially if you plan on observing a sex life that’s better than your own. Remember that most people having good Valentine’s Days in New Mexico are probably doing it in Santa Fe. If you’re willing to hide in the bathroom the whole way, you can get there for free on the Rail Runner — and while you’re in there, remember that it’s gross and public enough for some seriously hot sex.

40th anniversary
New Mexico Daily Lobo
It is very fast-paced and very New Mexican. Friendly service and great environment make Frontier different from other restaurants. ~Chandra
I’ve been coming to Frontier about as long as I’ve been living in Albuquerque. I moved when I was 10 or 11. All my friends, we just kind of kick it here. ~Khalid
I’ve been coming to the Frontier since I was six. Just chillin’, always. I used to come here and play chess with my pops every Wednesday. They had a chess thing in the back room. A bunch of heads coming together to play chess and compete against each other. It’s pretty cool. ~Miguel
My favorite food right now is the Frontier burrito. You eat it—it’s delicious! ~Maximilian
What makes Frontier different is definitely the way we run the counter system with just cashiers—we crank the food out in like 5 minutes. It gets out there really well. ~Bryn
Happy Birthday, Frontier!

Country crops in urban spaces Fourseason garden beds allow urban dwellers to grow food or flowers yearlong. The beds were built by Urban Store owner, Chuck Alex. Zach Gould/ Daily Lobo
by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
Yogurt and cheese make Chuck Alex’s life fulfilling. The founder of Veggie Growers, now called the Urban Store, makes the products himself. He said the store moves people toward selfreliance. “Gardening, composting, catching rainwater, making yogurt and cheese, all make my life much more rich,” Alex said. The Urban Store will have its grand opening Saturday and Sunday and features small presentations on urban chicken keeping, guerrilla gardening and LED lighting, to name a few. For about five years, the store was known as Veggie Growers, until December when renovations began. Alex added a business partner, Kathy Isaacson, and they decided to expand the store in square feet and products. “Veggie Growers was as much a store as it was a workshop,” Alex said. “It was dirty and dusty, and in some ways, that was fine for a garden shop. But the vision for Urban Store is that it would not only have more products and services, but that it would be a beautiful and inviting space.” During renovation, the shop knocked down the wall for the neighboring unit and took advantage of more space by adding a couch, coffee tables and book shelf. Alex also carries yogurt-and-cheese-making kits that students could easily use. “You can make yogurt at home, or even in a dorm room,” Alex said. “You can do it for a relatively little bit of money, and small amount of space.” Alex’s gardening experience reaches beyond Nob Hill. The New Mexico Alliance for Children is using Alex’s four-season garden box as the model for children in the state’s Boys and Girls Club. Julia Price, the alliance’s director of education, said Alex made gardening easier and more
interesting for children. She said the alliance has 12 garden sites throughout New Mexico. “I think children are much more likely to be willing to taste something they’ve grown themselves,” Price said. “And it helps them to understand the whole plant-food connection and to have better associations with natural foods.” Alex’s expanding store will bring other facets of gardening to children who already enjoy it, Price said. “I would love to get the full gardening experience where there is a rainwater catchment system setup and a composting area,” she said. “We really would love to have children learning all of that so that they understand it’s more than just putting the plants in the ground.” Alex said the store is a space where people can buy items, such as rain barrels, but also attend workshops and get information through talking to staffers. “The philosophy is that we’re not trying to get everybody to be 100 percent self-sustainable, off-the-grid,” he said. “We want to help anybody and everybody who’s interested in taking one small step towards sustainable.”
URBAN STORE OPENING 3211 Silver Ave. S.E. Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Sales show bulk seeds are the Urban Store’s most popular item.

Fashion Q&A
by Chris Quintana
WARNING!
Highly readable content. Though we appreciate your dedicated readership, please use caution when attempting to read the Daily Lobo in unconventional situations.
Bethany Nichols, Archeology, Junior
Rafael Reyes, Biology, Freshman
“You caught me on a cute day. I usually don’t care.”
“Sitting in a suit is a different feeling than sitting around in trunks. What you wear affects you and the people around you.”
Scarf: Walmart, $4 Jacket: Delias, $86 Jeans: Gift from sister Boots: Mitchell’s, $40
Top hat: Mall, $7 Suit: Thrift store, $15 Tie: Gift Shirt:Target, $10 Shoes: State Street, $30
Bethany sports a snug, yet stylish look, perfect for windy and wintery New Mexican days. The Alabama native she said she never needed to buy a jacket before she came to study at UNM. She said that in her home state, people wear more makeup and a lot more flip-flops compared to the boots she dons here. Her favorite color is lime green because it’s warm and makes her feel good. Favorite Clothing Trend: Peacoats with double-breasted buttons. They are slightly military, but still fun. Least Favorite Clothing Trend: I hate jeans with holes. I will never put them on myself. It’s just not nice.

In his swing-era clothing, Rafael demands attention. He said he likes the 40s look because they weren’t all about comfort, but focused on a classy, tailored look. And while he just dressed up for a public speaking class, he has enjoyed watching people respond to his outfit. He said it’s good to look different than everyone else. Favorite Clothing Trend: All black coats. They are still classy, but still laid back for our times. Least Favorite Clothing Trend: Ripped jeans. Like ones that deliberately have holes. It’s the exact opposite of what I want. Advice to Fashion Defunct Friend: Don’t worry about what everyone else is wearing. Wear what defines you, and if you dress like that, people will notice it.

40th anniversary
New Mexico Daily Lobo / Page 9
...celebrating the students, families, faculty, and staff that make up the Frontier family. Their tortillas are way good. Everything is pretty much homemade, that’s what I like about it. ~Eric
Larry and Dorothy pause for a photo with Tony Hillerman behind the Frontier.
What makes Frontier different is the history behind it. I mean, it’s been open for almost 40 years now. It’s kind of a landmark here in Albuquerque. Everyone knows the Frontier. You know, it’s a staple.~Kelsey
I’ve been coming to Frontier my whole life. I love the culture. It has so much of what New Nexico is and what college is here. ~Reed

I usually have the huevos rancheros. And the sandwiches are great—all the food they have is great; I love it. Anything you order off their menu is excellent. It’s quick; you don’t have a long wait. And everybody’s friendly. Just the set up that they have is perfect. The owners are absolutely wonderful to students— I mean, their prices are great! Struggling students can find something to order that they can afford.~Ersilia
The green chile cheese fries, which I try to stay away from, are definitely my favorite. The stuff I get most is the breakfast burrito and the vegetarian burrito. There’s a couple things that make Frontier different. One, the artwork. Two, the social quality of it. You find people that you know here. Three, the food is really good. ~Maggie
We’ve been coming to Frontier for 10 and about 12 years. Definitely the breakfast burritos are the best thing on the menu. There is a very eclectic group of people that come here. You get everything from college students—I’ve seen buseness people, firemen, police officers... ~Christopher and Jeremy
The number one thing that makes Frontier different is the atmosphere. It’s relaxed; it’s obviously a college atomsphere. The second thing are the prices. You get a great deal of good food for reasonable prices compared to other places. ~Anthony
