Student Fee Review Board ends deliberations by Luke Holmen

news@dailylobo.com After nearly 13 hours of deliberations and more than 25 hours of hearings, the Student Fee Review Board decided how to allocate an estimated $11.8 million. The board raised student fees for fiscal year 2013 to $503.20, a $16.71 increase from this year’s fee of $486.49, despite aims to keep student fees low. Following the Wednesday morning deliberations, the fee allocations were given to the President’s Strategic Budget Leadership Team, a team of advisers assembled by the president’s office to evaluate the SFRB’s recommendations. The recommendations can be reviewed and altered by either the SBLT or the SFRB until March 1. The SBLT has final say on fee allocation, but is likely to accept the recommendations.

Athletics Board Chair and GPSA President Katie Richardson said funding an athletics program, specifically a failing football team, should take a backseat to academic concerns. “I question whether we want to have a competitive football program; what if we take the football program down to Division II? Is it that important to the community and the University?” she said. “We have a wonderful basketball team and many other sports, but when I mention Athletics, people think of football and people laugh about it.” UNM Athletics requested $3.5 million in student fees this year from the Student Fee Review Board, up from about $1.9 million it received in fiscal year 2012, but it will only receive $81.75 of the $149.73 it requested. Advisor to the board and Associate Vice President of Planning, Budget and Analysis Andrew Cullen said Athletics could face a more than $1 million deficit next year. During the SFRB hearings, Tim Cass, senior associate director of Athletics, said the large increase in funding from students could propel the University into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), a group of six big-name conferences that generate funds for Athletics, primarily through television deals. Following discussion about the buy-out of former UNM head football coach Mike Locksley’s contract, Richardson said Athletics needs to clean up its act before it can receive more funding. “We don’t have the dean of the libraries punching people,” she said. “Interpersonal violence in headline after headline is coming in about our athletes and coaches … and that needs to (change).” Board member and ASUNM Attorney General Gregory MontoyaMora said students need a voice in future decisions on coaching selections. “I think if we are funding them, we should have a say on the board,” he said. “We should be able to have

a say if we don’t want to hire a particular coach.” Montoya-Mora, whose recommendation for funding Athletics was the lowest of the board at $51.75, said he pulled money from the program to fund organizations that better serve students. Board member and ASUNM Student Court Chief Justice Dylan Hoffman, who recommended funding Athletics at a board high of $85.75, said Athletics is vital to recruitment and retention. “I know when a lot of kids in high school are thinking about going to college, they consider that we have Division I athletics,” he said. “They were surprised that we give free tickets to all student athletic events, and I think that is one of the better things we do with student fees, something not all universities do.” Board member and GPSA Chief of Staff Japji Hundal said a greater variety of athletics programs need to be supported by the administration. “When we look at Athletics, we only ever look at the football team,” he said. “What I want to look at is the other programs. There are other sports, soccer, skiing tennis, cross country, track. All those programs are very important to the recruitment, graduation and retaining of students.” Hundal said sports teach students life skills academics can’t. “The entire amount they are asking for, I don’t think we are in a position to give, but there is some money that they deserve,” he said. “Sports teaches you how to fail and succeed and it teaches you a lot about life. It builds not only champions, but leaders. I am in a dilemma. You can’t tell a researcher their research is not important, and you can’t tell an athlete what they are doing is not important. I don’t want to evaluate this program as just a profit and loss statement.” Board member and ASUNM Chief of Staff Cassie Thompson said Athletics draws much needed donations to the University. “Whenever alumni donate money, generally it’s because of Athletics,” she said. “It’s the experience they get when they come back to the University and I think that funding helps supports other things. Often they donate to Athletics and simultaneously donate to other academic organizations.”

Information Technologies Information Technologies requested $3 million in student fees for fiscal year 2013, a nearly 1,300 percent increase from this year, but the organization will only receive $16.39 of the $128.84 per student it requested. Deputy Chief Information Officer for IT Moira Gerety, who was present at the deliberations, said

budget cuts in recent years have spread technological resources so thin that students and faculty may not have access to important research databases, equipment and computers. IT took a cut of more than $2 million last year from the administration, a cut Gerety said is not sustainable. Vice Chair and ASUNM President Jaymie Roybal said while funding IT the full amount would serve students, it is not financially feasible. “IT has a lot of great ideas that would serve students, but these ideas add up to $3 million and I’m not comfortable with such a large increase in one year.” But board member and GPSA Chief of Staff Japji Hundal said IT is vital to the success of students who need access to electronic databases and modern technology to complete their research. “It is the backbone of academics and we need to support it to move forward,” he said. Among improvements including increased on-campus wireless, power outlets and updated computers, Gerety said her top priorities

if given funding would be to expand printing for students on campus. “This year we set up the remote printing so students can print from their laptops, and next year we would like to add four additional print locations and expand the (remote printing) program,” she said. Gerety said IT also requested roughly $400,000 in funding from SFRB to purchase additional software for student use. “Right now, we preload the labs with software and only certain computers have certain software, but if I can only afford to buy 100 licenses, instead of sitting down at the computer that has that software, we can stream them from (IT servers) to any computer, including a student’s home computer.” IT provided MatLab free to students this year, and Gerety said, if given the funding, IT could stream programs including Adobe and Microsoft applications, as well as specialized statistics programs. Gerety said student fees pay part of the $10 a year printing allowance, which is good for 280 single-side black-and-white copies anywhere on campus.

$60,000.00

“We set that quota based on an analysis of what students spent over the last three years,” she said. “I think it’s a pretty good estimate, we like to say printing is free for 80 percent of students.” Board Chair and GPSA President Katie Richardson said IT will have to get its funding elsewhere. “While I agree that IT is essential to student success, this is something that the administration needs to pay for,” she said. “I can’t help feeling like students are being asked … unreasonably to pick up the $2 million deficit.”

NMPIRG and Popejoy Hall One of the most contentious funding requests the board addressed was the request of New Mexico Public Interest Research Group (NMPIRG), an organization that lobbies the state and national legislatures on issues ranging from health care to textbook costs on behalf of students. The board voted to fund NM-

Regents decide ACC rent by Nicole Perez

nicole11@unm.edu

The Board of Regents met Tuesday in the SUB to discuss issues ranging from SRC renovations to student tuition and fees. The most important decisions are highlighted below.

Casas del Rio rent: After six months of construction on Casas del Rio with no finalized rental agreement, American Campus Communities’ rent was approved by the Board of Regents. The regents voted unanimously Tuesday to set the ground rent at $478,000 for the first fiscal year, which will be due in August 2012. UNM Real Estate Director Kim Murphy said ACC needed to start the project shortly after the ground lease was approved in May of last year, even though not all of the construction contracts were in place. He said this is why the final rental price wasn’t approved earlier. “The ground lease provided for a formula by which we would calculate the ground rent, depending on where their project costs came in after they got final construction pricing,” Murphy said. He said the amount is on target with the rent expected in the ground lease. The rent will

increase by 3 percent per year until the fifth year, and from the sixth year onward rent will be a currently unspecified percentage of Casas Del Rio’s profits.

Bonds to be re-funded: The regents approved a bond re-funding proposal for $35.2 million to be refinanced at a lower interest rate. Andrew Cullen, associate vice president in the Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis, said this will ultimately save the University money. “What it might enable us to do is issue bonds in the future without having to raise any other monies to pay the debt service,” Cullen said. “We will be able to use the savings to fund new projects.” The bonds, which provide funding to build and update buildings on campus, were issued in 1992 at a 5.25 percent interest rate and will be refinanced at a 3.1 percent interest rate. The bonds are scheduled to be paid back by 2032. Cullen said refinancing will not lower the yearly student facility fee of $516.50.

A special bal ot init ative is cheduled to be introduced at he February Council and to be voted on at he March Council meeting.

president Robert Frank. Abdallah said his selection will not bring any changes in his policy as provost. “It doesn’t affect anything with what I’m doing,” he said. “I was acting as the provost and I’m still acting as the provost.” Abdallah said he will continue developing an academic plan for the University as his primary goal. “To try to do an academic plan, to try to work with the deans on long-term planning, to try to work on student advising and student success, all of those are things I started before and I’m going to continue doing,” he said. Abdallah was the only candidate for the permanent provost position, he said.

LETTER Reader demands more integrity, fewer typos Editor, Wow. The Lobo never fails to impress me with its lack of journalistic integrity and lousy grammar and spelling, but this time it’s personal. Today’s headline implies that the College of Fine Arts is scrambling to fill a void left solely because Dean Linnell was injured over the winter break. In fact, a dean search began at the start of the fall 2011 semester, and currently Acting Dean Gilbert is doing a smashing job, thank you very much. I mean, really. I’ve seen more professional writing in middle school newsletters, but why should I be surprised? The Lobo isn’t a newspaper — it’s an embarrassment. Oh, and nice spelling over the candidate photos. Glinda Wyndorf College of Fine Arts Editor’s note: This letter is in reference to “Candidates vie to replace injured fine arts dean,” which appeared in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo.

COLUMN

Dr. Peg’s Prescription Forgiveness is the best revenge by Dr. Peggy Spencer Daily Lobo Columnist

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” -Hindu Prince Gautama Siddhartha, aka The Buddha, 563-483 B.C.E. This is National Random Acts of Kindness week, kicked off by Valentine’s Day. Everyone is smiling, opening doors and handing out hugs and chocolates. Want to join in and do something kind? Try forgiving someone who has hurt you. Not only will you feel better, your health will benefit as well. “Forgiveness has a way of cutting through anger, anxiety and depression, and restoring emotional health,” according to Robert Enright, Ph.D., psychologist and academic pioneer in the study of forgiveness. There are whole forgiveness institutes and projects designed to foster and spread this charitable act for the betterment of individuals and society. See, for example, TheForgivenessProject.com What does it mean to forgive someone? Forgiveness is not the same as condoning, excusing, forgetting or even necessarily reconciling with the offender. When you forgive an offense, that doesn’t mean you are saying what happened was okay. It doesn’t mean you forget about it or pretend it didn’t happen. It does mean that you decide you are not going to obsess about the event or the person, and that you are not going to let the story of the painful event play constantly in your mental background and ruin your

peace of mind. By forgiving, you refuse to let anger and resentment prevail. As a result, you feel happier and calmer. It is about healing yourself. Fred Luskin, director and cofounder of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project, has written a wonderful book titled “Forgive for Good.” In it he describes how sometimes when we get hurt, we end up holding onto the hurt or anger and getting stuck in a place of unhappiness and resentment that is unhealthy. He believes that this happens for the following reasons: We took something too personally. Much as we might like to, we can’t control what other people do, and usually what they do is far more about them than about us. If we acknowledge this, then what others do is less likely to harm us. We continue to blame the other person for how bad we continue to feel. If we choose to keep thinking about what happened, to dwell on it and let it get us down, that is our own responsibility. They hurt us, yes, but we control our own minds and thoughts, and we have great power to shape our own experience. We created a grievance story. This is our wounded version of events, in which usually someone else is entirely responsible for our experience. We are the injured and helpless victim. We tell this story to anyone who will listen, most of all to ourselves, over and over, like a broken record. And like a broken record, it keeps us from moving forward in the music. Luskin defines forgiveness as “the feeling of peace that emerges as you take a hurt less personally, take responsibility for how you feel and become a hero instead of a victim in the story you tell.”

He recommends evicting the renters in your head that are taking up so much real estate, and he describes some simple and proven methods for helping move past the hurt. If you are having trouble forgiving someone in your life, I recommend his book. I said you’d be healthier if you forgive. It turns out a “change of heart” is exactly that. Letting go of resentment and anger lowers blood pressure and pulse, decreases the physiologic stress responses and frees up more positive emotions. Not only that, forgivers sleep better, are more energetic, have fewer physical symptoms and use fewer medications. So do it for your health, if for no other reason. Finally, don’t forget your own flawed self when you are looking for people to pardon. Self-forgiveness can be the hardest of all, but admit it: Nobody is perfect. You do your best, and sometimes you mess up. Welcome to the human race. So while you’re handing out hugs this week, lay one right where it counts — on your own sweet heart. “A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.” -Samuel Johnson, English author and scholar, 1709-1784 Dr. Peggy Spencer is a student-health physician.

PIRG at $0.50, a decrease from the $2.26 the organization received last year, and the $4.84 it requested this year. GPSA President and SFRB Chair Katie Richardson pulled 100 percent of her funding ($6.42) from Popejoy Hall, and redirected it to NMPIRG, spurring a round of criticism from the board. “I feel like there are five zeros on NMPIRG and we need to have a discussion about this,” Richardson said. “You say Popejoy contributes to the college experience, I believe the same is true of NMPIRG.” Board member and ASUNM President Jaymie Roybal said Richardson was undermining the board. “I think it’s incredibly irresponsible of you to raise fees to offset a majority opinion,” she said. “You undermine one department to be a super hero to the other. You funded them more than CAPS, which you championed. You are cutting from Popejoy undeservedly.” Richardson retracted her adjustment after the board made several comments questioning her decision. The board voted to fund Popejoy at $4.93. Board member and ASUNM Attorney General Gregory MontoyaMora said NMPIRG advocates for issues that aren’t supported by all students. “I don’t support funding a political organization,” he said. “My recommendation is a zero for the board and for them to charter as a student organization (and they can get funding) through that means.” Board member and ASUNM Sen. Angelica Gallegos reminded the board that NMPIRG funds a number of national staff who have never visited New Mexico. “They hire professionals, many of whom are not located in New Mexico and aren’t available to students on UNM Campus.” According to NMPIRG’s budget, the organization has no paid student employees. Vice Chair of NMPIRG Kymberlee Boettcher said staff aren’t available because of their unique position nationally. “We are the only organization that works in D.C. on student issues,” she said. (National staff ) spend 100 percent of their time lobbying for us in Washington, D.C.” Boettcher, who was present at the meeting, said she flew back early from a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with National Staff on behalf of NMPIRG to attend the SFRB deliberations. She said Roybal has been unresponsive to NMPIRG despite calls over the course of the last two weeks. Roybal said she was unavailable due to a death in her family. Richardson argued strongly in favor of supporting NMPIRG. “NMPIRG provides a voice in the political (world) which no one else can contribute,” she said. “They are absolutely a department and program on campus with professional staff and are eligible for student fee support. (If they were chartered as a student organization), there is no way GPSA could afford it. Can ASUNM fund it as a student organization?” Non-voting board member and GPSA Rep. Matthew Rush said cutting an organization’s funding is unfair. “Clearly this organization does a lot of work on campus,” he said. “We can fund (specific initiatives), but cutting support for an organization completely is questionable.”

PATS The Student Fee Review Board allocated conditional startup funding toward an initiative to create a bike share program on campus. The board agreed to a one-time allocation of $50,000, conditional

on raising the remaining $250,000 needed to fund the program through sources other than student fees, including donations and advertising. Vice Chair and ASUNM President Jaymie Roybal, who has supported the bike share since her term began, said she hopes to raise the remainder of the funding by the end of her term in May. Board member and ASUNM Attorney General Gregory MontoyaMora said conditionally funding the program means students will only contribute the $50,000 if the program is successful in its fundraising efforts. “We can’t lose this gamble, we only (pay) if we (get the funding).” Non-Voting board member and GPSA Rep. Matthew Rush raised concerns that the number of students who would use the program is unknown. “We need to go out and ask students how many are actually going to support it when we are looking forward and funding it,” he said.

LGBTQ Resource Center Alma Rosa Silva-Banuelos, the only professional staff member of the LGBTQ Resource Center, lost her salary and will have to appeal to the administration for pay next semester. All other resource centers receive funding from the Instruction and General fund and the administration to pay employee salaries. GPSA President and SFRB Chair Katie Richardson asked LGBTQ to find similar funding for Silva-Banuelos, and said the board will lend their support in discussions with the administration in achieving that end. Silva-Banuelos, who was present at the deliberations, said she is concerned about the loss of her salary, but believes the administration will fund it at the request of the board. “I trust that as the SFRB removes the professional salary, that they will work with the administration to guarantee I & G funding for professional staff for the LGBTQ Resource Center.” “LGBTQ is 100 percent funded through student fees,” she said. “LGBTQ needs to find some portion from the administration to fund staff salary.” The board voted to fund LGBTQ at $3.82, which is the center’s requested amount of $4.06 minus the amount spent on staff salaries.

UNM Libraries A vote to fund UNM Libraries at $33.45 passed six to one following nearly 40 minutes of debate. GPSA President and SFRB Chair Katie Richardson argued against increasing funding for UNM libraries, citing rising student fee support from $170,000 in FY 2005 to $675,000 this year. “Student fees cannot continue to support electronic journal inflation at this rate.” But Board Member and ASUNM Attorney General Gregory Montoya-Mora said supporting a 24-hour library is a top student priority. “From talking to students about this, one of the biggest issues for them was “give me the 24-hour library back,” he said. After a vote on an amendment requesting the administration to match an increase of $9.41 failed, and a vote to fund the libraries at the full request of $40 per student failed, Montoya-Mora transferred $20 from the amount he voted to allocate to Athletics to the library,

raising the total average of all of the board members’ votes to $33.45. The board then passed the libraries at that average.

Recreational Services Recreational Services requested $34.70 in student fees to maintain current recreation facilities at Johnson Center. In order to restore weekend hours to Johnson, Recreational Services said the organization would need $37.96 per student. Advisor to the board and Associate Vice President of Planning, Budget and Analysis Andrew Cullen recommended the board split the cost of weekend hours with the administration by adding $2.54 to bring the group’s average to $33.69, conditional on a match of $2.54 from the administration. “With a thousand new beds coming on campus, I think many students and parents would like a place for students to go, like a gym, on the weekends,” he said. Board member and ASUNM Chief of Staff Cassie Thompson said keeping the gym open weekends will keep students on campus. “If we can keep students on campus maybe they will go to the library after they go to the gym, and I feel that it really enriches the college experience,” she said. Board member and GPSA Chief of Staff Japji Hundal said departments who use Johnson, including the College of Education and the Athletics Department, need to contribute additional funding to the center. “If the College of Education is using the facility, I want the funding dollars coming from them,” he said.

Cullen said faculty and staff currently contribute $339,000 to the center in the form of payroll taxes.

at UNM The production, a part of the ‘V-Day’ campaign, empowers women and men to oppose violence against women

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

The UNM production of “The Vagina Monologues” — a series of performances about vagina-related topics such as masturbation, pubic hair, menstruation, rape and female genital mutilation (FGM) — will include men. Director Rachel Leos said at the first production meeting she suggested including a few “manologues.” Including men in the show, she said, would show that violence against women affects men, too. “The sooner that men realize they can’t really function without women, the better,” she said. “Sticking up for women’s rights is a big thing, and I think it’ll really hit a man when he’s got a daughter or a wife, or if something happens to his sister or mother.” “The Vagina Monologues” is performed throughout the year as part of the V-Day campaign, which was started by the monologues’ author Eve Ensler in 1998. V-Day is the global campaign to stop violence against women and girls. Audri Roybal, member of the V-Girls Action Team, said V-Day is not a specific date and can be celebrated year-round. “V-Day started out focusing on women and people who have been through struggles and who have taken the initiative in their own lives and grown from their struggles,” she said. Since it began, the campaign has branched out with groups such as the V-Girls Action Team. Roybal said this is a team of girls from across the globe, aged 14 to 21, that visits young girls to hear their problems and help empower them. “They’re so accepting because they haven’t been tainted by what society has got for them, so that’s why you have to catch them before they move into society,” she said. V-Men is another subset of the campaign, a group of male allies in the fight for women’s rights. Leos said she hopes involving men in the production will demonstrate that men can show emotion without violating their masculinity. Stephen Armijo, a theater major, is performing a “manologue,” which is what Leos calls the male monologues. Despite the stigma, Armijo said he feels manlier because of it and was interested in being involved before he knew male parts were available. “For too long, this has been something that just girls have been saying. ‘This is wrong and needs to be stopped,’ and the guys have always just kind of been on the sideline,” he said. “But it is our place. From my perspective, it would be a travesty to not say something.” Performer Cari Neill said the relationship between men and women has improved since the monologues were first performed, but she said there is still a long way to go. “As a man-friend of mine recently said to me, men typically see women on three levels,” Neill said. “First is the man’s mother, who is above all else. Second is his wife, who is slightly above useless other than for sex. Last are all other women, who are useless other than for sex. Unfortunately, men don’t seem to look at other women and realize that they are mothers also.” Roybal said she experienced this herself when she met with high school administrators about the V-Day campaign. A male administrator, upon learning she was pregnant, asked how she was going to be involved in the campaign and be a mother at the same time. “That was the biggest slap in the face to me, because I went to high school and worked my ass off to be in student government, to be a part of V-Day and V-Girls and be involved in my community, and he has the right to say to me that I can’t do it because I’m

Monologues from page 6 going to be a mom at the same time?” she said. Coproducer and Interim Director of the Women’s Resource Center Summer Little looked around the rehearsal space and said she would bet that one of the 30 women in the cast had survived sexual assault. “One in three women will be beaten or raped in her lifetime,” she said. “That’s huge. One in four college women get raped while they’re in school. That’s in the U.S. So these issues are real in our lives. People are still so moved by it because it speaks truth to the range of women’s experiences.” Just as some monologues deal with global women’s issues, one of the “manologues” addresses violence against women in the Middle East. Jose Castro, who is performing this “manologue,” said he hopes

Mortar Board someone will hear this performance and be inspired to change or help someone else change. “I am of Middle Eastern descent, and I see their practices of how to treat a woman as being flawed,” he said. “I wanted to try and spark a change in the mind of people that are practicing these terrible acts. It is a flawed culture in respect to the treatment of women, and it should change.” Despite stubborn societal norms, Roybal said the movement is growing. “Now is when we find our strength because we find strength in numbers, and our numbers are growing. But first, we have to find strength in the rejection,” she said. “If Eve had listened to everybody who said, ‘You can’t say vagina,’ she probably would never have made it out of Brooklyn.”

Last of her kind (almost) by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

The director of “The Vagina Monologues” is of a dying breed — she will be one of the last students at UNM to pursue a directing concentration within the theater department. Rachel Leos said she switched from theater education to a directing concentration in the theater program two years ago. Shortly thereafter, the six concentrations in the theater major were eliminated. Leos said she was told the department did this so theater students could be well-rounded, and because they didn’t have enough staff to head each of the concentrations and teach classes. Leos was allowed to continue with her degree because she started before it was eliminated, and Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance William Liotta said UNM still has several students in the directing concentration. Now the department offers a general theater major as a replacement. Leos said she directed a play as a senior in high school, which piqued her interest in the subject. “The Vagina Monologues” is the only fulllength production she’s directed since then. She said she spends 31 hours a week in rehearsal. “When I think about it, as stressed out as I am, there’s nothing else I would rather be doing,” she said. “Like that day I was in rehearsal from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., I could be doing that all day every day, and I would be fine.” Leos decided to include some “manologues” in addition to the exclusively female monologues. Actor Stephen Armijo performs one of the three “manologues.” He said Leos’ simple, straightforward directing style has drawn great

Director Rachel Leos sits in the back row taking notes. performances from a cast made up of mostly non-theater majors. “I think at the end of the day, you can tell who knows what they’re talking about, and what they want out of their actors,” he said. “I’ve seen shows where the performances are good, but they seldom will go below the surface. I feel like we all really believe in what we’re saying in the show, and that’s ultimately why it’s so successful.” Leos said her directing style is hands-off, compared to some who try to control all that happens onstage. Her style is apt for this production because the monologues are traditionally performed with scripts in hand, she said. “Letting actors explore and discover things and then acting off of that: That’s more my style,” she said. “It’s more organic.” Leos said she is not sure what she wants to do after graduation. She said she might teach high school theater, but has also explored theater therapy for children

with autism. “For certain autistic children, being present in the moment is hard enough, especially when there’s all these distractions going on,” she said. “When you lay a script in front of them, it’s something for them to focus on and to love and really get into.” Regardless of her work helping troubled youth, she said her experience with V-Day, the campaign to stop violence against women, and “The Vagina Monologues” has prepared her for the issues she could confront in her future career. “It’s doing something for me and the people I know who have gone through some kind of gender violence, whose families have gone through some kind of gender violence,” she said. “I think it’ll help me because I want to work with troubled teens, and this kind of experience, this kind of exposure, I’ll take with me and use it to teach them.”

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Divinity sans denomination by Avicra Luckey aluckey@unm.edu

On Tuesday evenings, the Alumni room in the SUB is filled with prayer, dance and song. But this isn’t church, synagogue or meditation. It’s a hybrid of all three and then some. Cofounder of the UNM Spiritual Seekers Club Melissa Hobbs said the group’s mission is to provide a space for people to learn about, share and experience different spiritual practices. The club welcomes even those who don’t consider themselves particularly religious, Hobbs said. “We use the term ‘spiritual’ because it’s not specifically religious,” she said. The group begins the meeting seated in a circle facing inward. They turn on a plastic votive candle and place it on a circular platform in the middle of the circle. “We light each candle to represent the presence of our individuality that we bring to the group,” Hobbs said. After some progressive muscle relaxation led by a YouTube video — it is only their second meeting, after all — the meeting begins. UNM student Elvis Recinos said spiritual seeking is more than learning about different belief systems. “A lot of it is not necessarily spiritual in nature,” he said. “I’ve always been on a path of seeking knowledge, and that’s what spiritual seeking is to me.” At one point in the meeting, they engage in “Heart Talks.” This

is when members of the club share their experiences with religion and spirituality. Jonathan Baca, cofounder of the club, said that as a teenager he rebelled against his Catholic upbringing. He used drugs in college as a way to gain deeper understanding of the world around him, but he said eventually they took over his life. “It got to the point where I was so screwed up by the drugs that I had no connection with any sort of spirituality,” he said. “I just could not have spiritual experiences or feelings or anything.” He said taking on a spiritual 12-step program helped him work through his addictions, but it also forced him be honest with what he did to himself and other people. “What I’m trying to do right now is look outside myself,” he said. “With my addictions, it had been all about me; I was my higher power.” Hobbs said she was raised in a Christian family and was very devout. She said she remembers attending Bible study and feeling like there was an “us against them” attitude. She said she wasn’t able to reconcile her feelings with what her church said was correct. “It just didn’t fit any longer,” she said. “I couldn’t continue looking at the world in such black and whites.” Recinios said he used to be a dedicated Muslim, but now he selfidentifies as a cultural Muslim. This means he identifies with the culture but not the religion, he said.

“I really do not believe that my life should be dictated by what I see as this mode of social control,” he said. Club member Ronnie Garduño said that he doesn’t seek for just his own benefit. “A major reason I learn different faiths and philosophies is to communicate with people,” he said. “It seems like if you don’t understand someone’s ideology, their actions are indistinguishable from those of a crazy person.” Hobbs said her reason for starting the Spiritual Seekers Club was to gain a sense of the community she lost when she stopped attending her church. “It’s a really powerful and uplifting experience to meet other people who can understand where you’re at, even if they are not the same religion as you, or even if their life story is completely different than yours,” she said. The meeting ends with a Navajo dance that Hobbs said blesses the Earth, and they sing, “We are all one with the infinite sun forever and ever and ever.” [box] Spiritual Seekers Club Spiritual Seekers Club Next meeting Tuesday, Feb. 21 6-7 p.m. Next meeting SUB Alumni room
