Air Force falls, conference title within reach by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu One down, one to go. The men’s basketball team bounced back from two straight losses, beating Air Force 86-56 Wednesday night at the Pit in front of 15,152 fans. The Lobos (23-6, 9-4 MWC) are one game away from capturing their third regular season conference title in four years. “We wanted to get back home and get back to playing at the level that we had been playing at,” head coach Steve Alford said. “I thought tonight we did an awful lot of good things.” One of those good things was freshman guard Hugh Greenwood’s play as he led the rout of the Falcons with a career-high 22 points and six rebounds. In the second half, the Aussie caught fire, scoring UNM’s first 14 points of the period in the first three minutes. “(My) teammates kept giving me the ball,” Greenwood said. “Kendall (Williams) was calling plays for me.” Greenwood went 5-of-5, including four 3-pointers in the stretch. The first half was a contest between Air Force and senior forward Drew Gordon. The 6-foot 9-inch conference preseason player of the year came out firing, scoring 12 of the Lobos’ first 18 points. He finished the half 8-of-9 shooting with 16 points. Gordon didn’t take another shot the rest of the game and finished with his 14th double-double of the season and 27th of his career, with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Gordon and company came out to start the game with a bang defensively. The Lobos held the Falcons to just 29.6 percent shooting in the first half making only 8-of-27 shots. After giving up 71 and 83 points in the last two games, UNM contested almost every shot and kept Falcon guard Michael Lyons in check, holding him to 3-of-11 shooting for nine points — Lyons scored just six points in the previous meeting. “We made shots difficult for them, we took away any kind of transition that they had and we were able to get out and get our transition game going,” Alford said. “We’ve done a really good job on
what I think is their best scorer,” Alford said. “We wanted to make somebody else have to score tonight.” The Falcons finished shooting 36.5 percent from the field making 19-of-52 shots. The Lobo bench outscored the Falcons’ 31-13. Senior guard Phillip McDonald led the bench, scoring with 13 points from 4-of-8 from 3-point range. UNM’s final game of the regular season is senior day on Saturday afternoon against Boise State. “Boise’s going to get a good team on Saturday so hopefully they come prepared, which I know they will, and it’s going to be a good fight,” Gordon said. Before the game, Gordon was one of several former UCLA players mentioned in George Dohrmann’s Sports Illustrated article due to be released on shelves on March 5th. In the article, former teammates’ of the Lobo forward told Dohrmann in an interview that, in 2008, Gordon, along with freshmen teammates Jerime Anderson and J’mison Morgan regularly drank alcohol and smoked marijuana — sometimes before practices. Dohrmann also wrote that Gordon would disrupt practices whenever he was criticized for his play, and mentioned an altercation with then teammate Reeves Nelson, which left Gordon with a black eye. Gordon declined to comment on the matter and said his focus is the Mountain West title. “We have something to accomplish right now,” Gordon said. “I’m not going to involve myself in that situation and that mess over there.” Alford said all he could speak to, is the time Gordon has been at UNM. “All I know is that we’ve had him for two and a half, three years now, he’s been a double-double guy for us, he’s been an incredible for us, he’s been a great person for us, he’s been a great teammate,” Alford said.

Ariz. bans ‘Bless me, Ultima,’ NM students take action by Victoria Carreon vcarreon@unm.edu
An Arizona law that effectively shut down ethnic studies programs at K-12 schools across the state in 2010 has spurred UNM students to build an underground library of banned books. The library is in response to Arizona law HB 228, which states: “public school pupils should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races.” The law also says that programs that “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals” are in violation of the law. An Arizona administrative law judge ruled in December 2011 that ethnic studies programs violated the law. This ruling effectively dismantled ethnic studies programs, such as the Mexican-American programs in the Tucson Unified School District. Faculty members and students discussed the

importance of these programs and the texts that are associated with them at the A Right to Speech=Right to Know event held Tuesday at the SUB. The banned books and programs involve the teaching of ethnic studies in Arizona’s public schools. The banned books include Rudolfo Anaya’s Bless Me, Ultima and Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street, as well as 90 others titles. The UNM community got involved by contributing to the building of an underground library that contains the banned books. The event was sponsored by the Africana, Chicano Hispano Mexicano and Native American studies programs. Dr. Jamal Martin said students and schools need to recognize the importance of these programs. “Ethnic studies programs are essential,” Martin said. “They may have been marginalized, but they have their identity and impact.” Because students in Arizona no longer have access to these programs and books, nonprofit
organizations intend to build a collection of banned works to donate to underground libraries in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. Librotraficante Caravan is holding a book drive to collect the banned books, and students were asked to contribute to the libraries. The Caravan is making its way from Houston to Tucson, starting on March 12 and arriving in Arizona on March 17. The Caravan will be stopping in Albuquerque on March 15. For a schedule of events, visit librotraficante. com. Several of the speakers said the banning of ethnic studies programs reflects racist attitudes. “You think of the Deep South, but get over that,” said John Crawford, a guest speaker at the event who helps publish works by minorities at Weston Press. “There are closer problems.” One speaker said the UNM administration can do more to recognize ethnic studies programs. “We are fighting for precious knowledge,” said Sixtus Dominguez, a Native American student who wants UNM to acknowledge the rights of

indigenous peoples. He said students should call on the University to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, which outlines the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples, including their rights to culture, identity, language, employment, health, education and other issues. He suggested UNM form a college to house the school’s different ethnic studies programs. Native American Studies professor Tiffany Lee said despite the fact that this law is exclusive to Arizona, students should not think that New Mexico’s ethnic studies programs are completely secure. “We can’t think that New Mexico is isolated,” she said. “We need to protect our cultural perspectives and experiences.” Mario Atencio, a UNM alumnus and member of the Navajo Nation, said protecting ethnic programs is crucial to maintaining cultural identities. “An attack on one is an attack on all,” he said.

Sophomore architecture student Brandon Gassaway has been swing dancing for three years. A swing course at UNM piqued his interest and he decided to pursue it as a hobby in 2009. He now performs and competes with a group of six local swing dancers called “Project Sin Nombre.” “The type of dance we do is the Lindy Hop,” Gassaway explains. It is a particular genre of swing dance originating in the mid ‘30s during the Harlem Renaissance. The dance was developed by African Americans as a refuge from the issues of that time. Gassaway finds it both ironic and frustrating that even though the dance style was developed by African Americans, he is one of the few who dance this style nationally. Gassaway had recently held a swing dance workshop and hopes that eventually other African Americans will become influenced by his involvement.

‘High-value’ prisoner takes plea by Ben Fox
The Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A former Maryland resident pleaded guilty Wednesday to helping al-Qaida plot attacks from his native Pakistan, reaching a plea deal with the U.S. government that spares him from a potential life sentence in exchange for helping to convict fellow prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Majid Khan, making his first appearance in public since he was swept into secret government confinement in 2003, appeared calm and confident as he was questioned by the judge to make sure he understood the plea deal. His lawyers said that he teared up at times as the case against him was reviewed and that he regrets his actions. “He is remorseful,” said Army Lt. Col. Jon Jackson, his Pentagon-appointed defense lawyer. “He wishes he had never been involved with alQaida, ever.” Khan, 32, is the first of what the military calls its “high-value” detainees to plead guilty and his cooperation could provide significant help to the U.S. as it seeks to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attack, and other accused terrorists held at the U.S. base in Cuba. Khan’s lawyers have alleged he was tortured while in CIA custody before he was transferred to Guantanamo in September 2006. He faced up to life in prison if convicted at trial on charges of conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, spying and providing material support for terrorism. Prosecutors said Khan plotted with Mohammed to blow up fuel tanks in the U.S., to assassinate former Pakistani President
Gen. Pervez Musharraf and to provide other assistance to al-Qaida. Under his plea agreement, the Convening Authority, the Pentagon legal official who oversees the Guantanamo tribunals, has agreed not to approve a sentence that exceeds 19 years as long as Khan fully cooperates with authorities. If prosecutors determine he has not fully cooperated, the sentence is capped at 25 years. His sentencing has been postponed for four years, to give him time to cooperate, and he would get credit for time served until his sentencing, but not for the nine years he already spent in custody. The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, told him there was nothing in the agreement that specifically prevents the U.S. from continuing to detain him after he completes his sentence, though there are no indications that would happen. “I am making a leap of faith here, sir,” Khan said. “That’s all I can do.” Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor, said the sentence is appropriate because Khan was not a terrorist mastermind or leader and has shown remorse. “When you put this into context, I think you see a very credible result that fits, that is justice, and that is an appropriate holding of accountability,” Martins said. Khan is the seventh Guantanamo prisoner to be convicted of war crimes, the fifth by plea deal. The U.S. now holds 171 men at the base and officials have said about 35 could be prosecuted for war crimes. Andrea Prasow, a Human Rights Watch lawyer who was at Wednesday’s hearing as an observer, said Khan’s plea bargain is a victory for the government, which gets a conviction without having to address
allegations that he was tortured. She expects similar deals to come. “There is a stronger incentive to plea bargain in Guantanamo if you have no idea how long you will be held or if you will ever be released or if you will ever get a fair trial,” Prasow said. Khan moved to the U.S. with his family in 1996 and was granted political asylum. He graduated from Owings Mills High School in suburban Baltimore and worked at several office jobs as well as at his family’s gas station. Military prosecutors say he traveled in 2002 to Pakistan, where he was introduced to Mohammed as someone who could help al-Qaida because of his fluent English and familiarity with the U.S. Prosecutors say that at one point, Khan discussed a plot to blow up underground fuel storage tanks in the United States. Prosecutors say Khan later traveled with his wife, Rabia, to Bangkok, Thailand, where he delivered $50,000 to the Southeast Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah, an alQaida affiliate, to help fund the Aug. 5, 2003, suicide bombing of the J.W. Marriott hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. The attack killed 11 people and wounded at least 81. An American woman who was injured in the attack, Pat Pond, was an observer at the hearing and said she was satisfied with the outcome. Pond, a resident of Park City, Utah, who was on a business trip for GE at the time of the Jakarta attack, said she was burned and damaged her hand in the blast and contracted HIV from a contaminated needle while being treated for her wounds at a hospital in Singapore. “I don’t feel any anger or any need for vengeance,” she said.

American Spring, not elections, will save US by Achim Oberst
Daily Lobo Guest Columnist
If elections could change anything in this country, they would be declared unconstitutional, undemocratic and officially abolished. After Obama, it should be clear to anyone even only slightly politically conscious that all that change may do, will be only cosmetic, never substantial. Among the political cosmetics we are allowed to choose are a higher degree of skin pigmentation when it comes to the selection of the president, or the replacement of the traditional presidential Y chromosome with an additional X chromosome. Although such changes ought to be considered trivial and of no political value at all, they are in this country officially embraced as revolutionary — however, only to forego the true revolutions necessary to implement peace and justice on every level of society. Occasionally there may be an anti-pollution act to prevent starving hope from dying completely. Starved hope is essential to the illusion of democracy. Had Obama kept only half of his campaign promises, he would have met John F. Kennedy’s fate. He is smart enough to know this instinctively. His survival instinct trumps universal reason. There is no other way to explain why someone of his intellectual caliber would act against reason and the people to listen to his corporate donors from the insurance, oil or nuclear industry. It is common sense that only with universal health care and free education a people can be considered wealthy. Yet this country is unable to approach these goals with minimal steps. Despite Obama’s failures, Bush was by far the better puppet. He was much easier to manipulate, without a conscience and without any principles whatsoever. His stupidity allowed him to lie with a straight face and ignore or “misremember” what was said a minute before. Here is the only chance left to the Republican candidates, as they compete for the nomination with the only asset left to them: the complete decadence and desolation of their total demoralization. Martin Luther King, Jr. called this fatal state “spiritual death.” We have long reached the point of history where there is dire need for an incorruptible, political saint who stands by the principles of peace and justice religiously in order to change the fatal course of destruction for the promise of a continued future — and who does so in the face of likely death. John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Robert F. Kennedy or Fred Hampton serve as silent and silenced warning signs not to mess with the political mafia. To circumvent lucky — and consequently, tragic — accidents of history, systemic and fraudulent provisions are set in place to protect the status quo. Too many assassinations would dispel the illusion of democracy. Hence, media, courts, commissions and financial lobbyists carefully exclude the more principled and hence threatening candidates from debates, caucuses and primaries, and select candidates the people are allowed to “elect” to ensure that elections remain effectively abolished. Should this manipulation threaten to go wrong, the vote will then be rigged electronically, as happened in 2004. The

Dr. Peg’s Prescription Seize victory with visualization techniques
“Everything you can imagine is real.” – Pablo Picasso Well, maybe not everything. If that were the case, you could just imagine a passing grade on that upcoming midterm and go have a beer. And if you have seen Picasso’s work, you might wonder about his perception of reality. But still, the man has a point. Imagination is a powerful tool. Visualization is one way to wield it. Have you ever reminisced about a good time? Or wished you were somewhere else besides right here? When you do that, you are using your imagination. You can almost see the beach and hear the waves, right? That is a kind of visualization. We all do it. Turning it to our own advantage to improve our lives is just a step beyond simple daydreaming. Gerald Epstein, M.D., in his book Healing Visualizations, points out quite reasonably that “though Western medicine (and Western science) is reluctant to accept that the mind can alter the body, it already firmly believes the reverse — that the physical can affect the mental — and it regularly utilizes this connection. Tranquilizers, antidepressants and anesthetics are all examples of this.” He challenges us to consider that the reverse is true as well, that the mind can affect the body, and that we can use the untapped power of our own mental energy to heal ourselves. Jack Niklaus, arguably the best professional disenfranchisement of millions, most of them blacks and ex-prisoners, remains a tradition fixed in the system. The ultimate safeguard will always be the Supreme Court, as the 2000 elections taught us, when the justices appointed George W. Bush to the presidency after it was clear he had lost Florida. To change this, the Occupy Movement must grow into an Arab Spring whose revolution won’t be co-opted or stolen. All, involved or uninvolved, must heed the dire warning of the late John F. Kennedy: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
golfer in history, visualizes every shot before he takes it. Other accomplished athletes do the same. Many big league sports teams have special visualization coaches that teach players how to use this technique. The players imagine the move, the shot, the play as if they were actually doing it. They not only picture what the move would look like, they imagine what their body will feel like as they make the successful play, even to the emotional rush of victory. Why? Because it works. Rehearsal in the mind leads to success in the game. “The Secret” of the best selling book by the same name is that if you imagine what you want in life, it will come to you. It is called the Law of Attraction. I happen to believe getting the life you want involves a fair amount of elbow grease as well, but beginning with the mind makes sense. We create our own reality with our minds, and if you expect health and success you are more likely to experience them than if you expect misery and failure. Visualization as a technique has entered the medical mainstream. Research supports it, scientists write about it and everyone from actors to yogis to the guy next door practices it. Medically speaking, visualization is a mind-body practice where mental images are used to focus energy on relaxation or healing. You can use visualization techniques to help you manage stress, pain, addiction and many
other health problems. The basic technique is to sit quietly and comfortably, take a few breaths and focus on an image in your mind. For example, you could imagine your pain as a pile of snow and watch it slowly melt. Or you might see your high blood pressure as water through a hose and imagine that you are turning the water down. Maybe your stress is a huge black cloud that, as you observe it in your mind’s eye, is slowly but surely dissipated by sun and wind. All that snot in your head? A flock of birds that flies off into the sunset. Pick your own picture. Use a still image or turn it into video. It’s your mind, your choice. Harness its power. To learn more about visualization, read Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain or Healing Visualizations by Gerald Epstein, or harness the power of the Internet. And now, go take that midterm. But first, visualize the graded exam with a big red “A” on top. Hey, it’s worth a try.

Protesters ignite fires in Spain by Joseph Wilson
The Associated Press
BARCELONA, Spain — Tens of thousands of students protested education spending cuts in big cities across Spain on Wednesday, and the demonstrations turned violent in Barcelona as angry young adults clashed with police. Riot police charged a crowd outside the stock market in Barcelona, Spain’s second largest city, after protesters who broke away from a peaceful rally numbering thousands threw rocks and other objects. Video in Spanish media showed protesters setting plastic garbage containers alight with flares, causing a blaze that destroyed at least one car. They also hurled rocks at the glass front door of a bank branch. Some students made their way to
the University of Barcelona and took refuge from riot police in a plaza inside the campus, denying that they started the violence. Student Pau Bronsoms, 22, said police used batons to hit protesters and fired rubber bullets. “We did not expect this degree of repression,� he said. “Nobody broke anything until they charged.� A regional police official in Barcelona declined comment on tactics used to break up the demonstration, speaking on condition of anonymity because of department policy. Spain is in the midst of a deep economic crisis, with the unemployment rate for people ages 16-24 at nearly 50 percent. Many young adults fear they have no future in the country and are angry at the new conservative government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, which is enacting widespread austerity cuts to prevent the country from being forced

into a bailout such as those taken by Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Large protests also took place Wednesday in Madrid and Valencia, but there were no reports of violence. The Barcelona protesters regrouped late in the afternoon and marched to the sprawling convention center hosting the Mobile World Congress, an annual cell phone trade show event that is the world’s largest. Authorities prevented demonstrators from getting close and shut down the main entrance and exit just as thousands of convention attendees were preparing to leave, forcing them to take circuitous routes back to their hotels on the third day of the four-day event. At least one protester was detained outside the site of the cell phone convention, according to an Associated Press photographer at the scene.
Egypt plans first free election by Maggie Michael The Associated Press
CAIRO — Egypt on Wednesday set a May date for its first-ever free presidential election, a much-anticipated vote that would bring to an end the rocky transitional period that followed the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising a year ago. The ruling military has pledged to turn over power to civilians after the presidential election, which would mean an end of six decades of authoritarian rule where secretive generals pulled the strings of power from behind the scenes. The elections begin May 23 and 24. If no candidate wins 50 percent of the vote, a runoff between the top two finishers would take place June 16 and 17. For the first time in Egypt’s modern history, the name of the new president will remain unknown until June 21, the day set by Election Commission to announce the winner. There were no such mysteries during Mubarak’s 29-year rule. Massive vote-rigging turned Egyptians away from elections, as they knew that results were determined beforehand — Mubarak and his party were always assured of clear victories.
The military took control after Mubarak’s exit and at first pledged to hand over power within six months. That was too quick a timetable for reformers, who insisted they needed more time to prepare for elections. Since November, voters have picked the two houses of parliament, dominated by Islamist parties, while the military is still firmly in overall control. The new parliament’s main task is to pick a 100-member panel to write a new constitution for Egypt. The military has come under stiff criticism for its handling of the transition period, scarred by frequent violent protests and continued economic malaise. Leaders of the uprising have charged that the military is employing the harsh, repressive tactics of the Mubarak regime against them. Scores have been killed in anti-military street protests and clashes over the past year, and the military is accused of torturing detainees and putting at least 10,000 civilians on trial before military tribunals. With the transition period now stretched out to nearly 18 months, some are fearful of last minute maneuvers by which the military may decide not to hand over power at all. For decades the military has not only been a kingmaker of all of
Egypt’s presidents, but also has given key government posts to generals after their retirement, including serving in the Cabinet, as heads of government departments, provincial governors and mayors. The new president could define the future role of the military. Two of the top of the presidential hopefuls, former Arab League chief Amr Moussa and former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, have warm relations with the generals. Shafiq is a former pilot in the armed forces. Two other strong presidential hopefuls, ultraconservative Hazem Abu-Ismail and moderate Islamist Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, would be likely to try to deprive the generals of a significant political role. The ruling council also said that the formation of the panel that would write the constitution has been set for March 3. That is seen as a setback for revolutionaries and activist groups, who have been pressing the military to relinquish power before the constitution is written. They fear that if the army is in control when the document is drawn up, the ruling generals will manipulate the process to ensure the military keeps its pre-eminent position and remains above civilian oversight.

Opera singers discuss technique, training and the rigors of rehearsal
by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Although opera is an artistic endeavor, the mechanics behind it are not. “Anything that starts to happen physically goes straight to your voice. It’s the smallest little muscle there in your body,” opera professor Sam Shepperson said. “Opera really is like an athletic endeavor because it’s so physical; it’s part of your body.” Shepperson said the physical strain is at its peak this week as UNM’s opera singers rehearse two operas every night for their upcoming show “Till Death Do Us Part.” The double feature includes “The Beautiful Bridegroom” written by Dan Shore and “I Pagliacci” written by Ruggero Leoncavallo. “The Beautiful Bridegroom” is a farce where a woman dressed as a man is set up to marry an older widow whose daughters are in love with “him” too. “We don’t need any men at all,” the six women exclaim as they line dance in the spotlight. They narrowly miss tripping over their vintage English hoop dresses complete with trains, bustles and corsets. “I Pagliacci” is an Italian tragedy where a theater actor finds his wife cheating on him and kills her and her lover. Although “I Pagliacci” is more than a century old and written in Italian, vocal student Grant Garrison said it isn’t difficult to develop a personal relationship with the opera. “You feel the music, you feel the emotions in the music and it’s not music written down on paper anymore,” he said. “Whether it was written in 1890 or 1990, that doesn’t matter so much. It’s not old. It’s brand new because we’re doing it right now.” Garrison, one of the only undergraduate lead characters in “I Pagliacci,” said he started his studies as a pre-med student. He shifted to singing and developed a taste for opera. The difference between typical pop singing and opera singing is like night and day, he said. “When you’re singing all poppy, it’s different. Your whole body’s not involved, you don’t have the same kind of support,” he said. “In opera you have to, otherwise it’s not going to sound operatic at all. It’s really hard to get that balance of having enough air, having enough push, putting your mouth in all of these certain positions that make the sound go forward or back or sound like you’re anxious.” Garrison said it is difficult for instructors to describe miniscule physical changes singers should implement, such as changes to vowels and breath speed. So they often use metaphors in an effort to make their students sing correctly. “You get lost in ‘Breathe in like you’re smelling a rose,’ and you end up with all these little ideas of what this could possibly fit into as far as technique,” he said. The production involves about 100 students, from light technicians to chorus members, and includes a

Youth performers relish roles in ‘intricate’ opera by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu The opera “I Pagliacci” specifically calls for a group of children. For the UNM production, the music department called upon the UNM Children’s Chorus, and for many of the young performers, singing in operas is nothing new. But 10-year-old Sophia EllisYoung said this opera is more intricate than anything she’s done before, and she said she gets to act instead of just singing. “We each have our own stage friends which tend to be our real friends, and we interact with them,” she said. “It’s really just like life. I think the definition of a chorus, at least for me, would be group singing. This isn’t that.” Zachary Butler, also 10 years old, said the acting is his favorite part. “My stage brother and I — after the first opening note — we run down that ramp up there, we look around excitedly,” he said. “I turn around and ram into him on accident. It’s just really fun. It’s above and beyond what we do as a regular chorus.” The kids are members of the opera’s chorus, so they sing in Italian along with UNM’s voice students. Butler said opera cured his
fears of performing, and he would recommend that others try it. “I had pretty severe stage fright,” he said. “In band I kept sweating even though I wasn’t doing anything really important. I tried opera once and now I don’t have stage fright anymore.” Butler said although the opera is fun, it’s physically demanding. “I’ve been staying up until nine or 10 recently and I normally try to go to sleep at nine or 10,” he said. “All because of this opera, I’m exhausted. But it’s totally worth it.” The children are surrounded by college students and adults every night; Butler said he’s learned college students are interesting, unpredictable and crazy. This is a new experience, Ellis-Young said. “My stage parents keep forgetting they have kids,” she said. “They either start texting or talking about anything under the sun.” Both Butler and Ellis-Young said they enjoy listening to classical music in their spare time, and Ellis-Young said she also listens to Celtic music, LMFAO and The Clash. Butler said he doesn’t usually like popular music on the radio. “Mostly all I hear is Justin Bieber and I don’t like him,” he said. “I don’t want to sing like those people on rock-and-roll stations.”

adds some emotional flavor into things instead of just having the dayto-day drag,” he said. “Okay, I’m brushing my teeth, going to school, going home, eating. It provides a little variety in my day.” Rebecca Brunette, a junior and a lead in “The Beautiful Bridegroom,” said she was originally drawn to opera because of its flashy visual elements. “Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I get to dress up for a living? That would be rad,” she said.
Alexandra Martinez, a junior in vocal performance and a lead in “The Beautiful Bridegroom,” said people are always surprised when she tells them she sings opera. “First it’s like, ‘Really? You can sing opera and you’re that tiny?’” she said. “Everybody’s like, ‘Can you sing something for me?’ And I’m like, ‘No. Come to a show and you can hear me sing, but I’m not going to sit here in the SUB and sing for you.’”

It’s a Teddy Ruxpin bear, a popular toy in the ‘80s, when she was growing up. The piece represents human frailty and aging through a piece of technology that is now obsolete.

When characters visit the past in sci-fi flicks, they know not to change anything; otherwise they risk drastically changing the future. “The Butterfly Effect” art show is all about how people in the present can change the future. The Harwood Art Center hosts “The Butterfly Effect” this Friday. The show features art inspired by everyday objects, said Vashti Moss, director of Youth Arts and Education. The butterfly effect refers to how a small variable can alter the course of your life, Moss said. The show is a chain of inspiration to continue long after the show. “The idea is that it’s young artists and extraordinary artists showing their work together so they can be inspired by each other and inspire the audience,” she said. Moss said the event features music from the Swamp Cooler Magnets and a movie made from old films layered onto each other. Attendees can also learn about fractals, or infinitely repeating patterns, from Jonathan Wolfe, “the Fractal Man,” Moss said. He’ll be projecting fractals as well as leading “fractivities” for people to create fractals of their own. Moss said some homemade fractals will be hung in a mural to be completed by the end of the evening.

“It’s really like this whole cycle of what the artist’s life is,” she said. The gallery space is divided into two shows, “Musings” and “Iterations.” The six artists in “Musings” range in experience from a M.F.A. candidate to internationally renowned artists. “Iterations” features elementary and middle school artwork from Escuela del Sol Montessori students. Moss said the idea is to show everyone’s work as unique and equally valuable. Rachel Cox, a graduate student featured in “Musings,” said she often uses toys and photographs in her art. She collects toys to tangibly preserve her memories and personal history because she doesn’t have any brothers or sisters, she said. “When you have those added members of your family, they can help you recall memories and talk about stories from the past,” she said. “I don’t have any of that. I’m remembering these things on my own, so I get help from toys and photos and things like that.” Cox said she grew up in the ‘80s when toys increasingly had electronic components. The Teddy Ruxpin bear was one of them, and she said she began obsessively collecting the bears from eBay a few months ago. She altered the bear so the tape deck and other innards spill onto the floor. She said the technology has literally died, which reflects the
death of childhood. “By portraying these inevitabilities of age, fragility and decline through something as seemingly innocent as a toy, it helps me deal with these truths more easily and hopefully allows others to as well,” she said. “The Butterfly Effect” is not just about inspiring people to nurture their creative spirit, Moss said. It shows how every part of our life affects us; everything counts no matter how small, she said. “Every little something could have these massive effects down the line,” she said. “If you think about them as beauty, I think that’s what we’re looking at: all the different ways that people are creative in their lives, the ways that can affect the world and, I think, make it a better place.”
