candidate on the Students for Students slate, and Ashkii Hatathalie, presidential candidate on the Impact for UNM Student Government slate, were chosen by their respective slates to speak with the Daily Lobo to discuss the demographics of their slate as compared to the whole undergraduate population. The slates are competing for 10 senate

About half the members of each slate vying for ASUNM seats next year belong to fraternities and sororities, while only about four percent of the total undergraduate population is involved in Greek Life.

seats in the April 11 elections, as well as the president and vice president positions.

Daily Lobo: Each slate has a much higher percentage than the general undergraduate population of students in fraternities and sororities.

Hatathalie said students involved in Greek Life are often the students who are most qualified to win senate seats.

“When you look at the types of students who are involved, you realize the people who have really great leadership positions are already affiliated with Greek organizations. I think it’s a testament to the leadership experience it’s been able to inspire,” he said.

Liu said all members on Students for Students involved in Greek Life are also involved in other student

organizations and activities.

DL: Members of both the Impact and Students for Students slates are an average age of about 20, nearly four years younger than the average age of undergraduates, 24.1. None of the members from either slate have children.

Student governments to protest proposed budget

by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu

ASUNM and GPSA are calling on the regents to retract a proposed $77 student fee increase and 3 percent tuition increase. The organizations are co-hosting a protest in the SUB Atrium on Thursday from noon to 1 p.m.

Sen. Caroline Muraida, who is

Inside the

Daily Lobo volume 116

helping organize the protest, said the goal is to give students a voice in the decision. Muraida said the Board of Regents should not have proposed the increase during spring break, while students were off campus.

“The protest is to raise awareness and present a strong unified voice to say that we are not OK that the decision was made without communication with the students and with

the community,” she said. “It is a symbolic gesture to have reached that conclusion when very few students were on campus. It speaks to the board’s perception of what the Student Fee Review Board and the Strategic Budget Leadership Team are capable of accomplishing and recommending. Frankly, it’s disturbing.”

Muraida said she is not

opposed to a tuition increase that is carefully considered by an administration that actively seeks student input, something she said has not happened.

“I understand the need to raise tuition to reflect the current economic climate, but I also think that needs an explanation,” she said.

“I’m not opposed to an increase in tuition as long as it is fair and well

thought out, but (we need to consider) what we will receive from the state. If tuition is going to be increased, we need to see a parallel and equal increase in value added to this University.”

by Jacob Hall

jhall03@unm.edu Wendie Cutcher is not only a student at UNM, but also designs sets for theatrical plays and is a mother of two.

For Cutcher, 43, designing sets means long hours spent at class during the day, and longer hours at night painting and doing construction work. She has two children, ages 13 and 18, who live with her.

“It’s not all the glamour that most people generally think that theater life is,” she said. “You’re usually walking around with dirty hands and wearing an apron

covered with paint. There are a lot of aspects to theater where you have to get in there and just get your hands dirty … you have to really want to do the art.”

Cutcher is pursuing a degree in design for theater performance, which would allow her to design sets professionally. She began in 2008, but has only been attending school full-time since 2010 because she takes care of her youngest son.

“If it weren’t for my husband, Mike, I would never have been able to go and work on the set during these late nights that we’ve had,” she said.

“It’s hard work and it’s weird

hours. I’ve spent the past month working at the University and some days I’m there until midnight.”

Cutcher was the assistant designer for the play “Electricidad,” a transformation of the classical play “Electra.” It ran this past weekend in the Experimental Theatre inside Popejoy Hall. She, along with a small team of designers, constructed the entire set, which included a nearly full-scale house and yard, and Electricidad’s father’s dead body.

She said that while set making is technically challenging and requires computer drafting, it also appeals to her artistic side.

“It’s not necessarily just about designing sets, it’s more about the aspect of art,” she said. “That’s the part I like more than just the actual sitting down and designing a set. I like to be the person who actually paints the set, who’s more the hands-on person who does the scenic painting.”

Cutcher said that when she receives her degree, she hopes either to design sets for local theater companies or for television and film.

She said getting a job with a studio means recurring work.

opportunities for new sets will open up.

“New shows will begin at the studios in Albuquerque, and when they do, they’ll need new sets,” she said. “Everything the actors act in is a set that was designed by someone.

They need scenic artists to paint it, and it would be really cool to work my way up the ladder and become art director of a television show.”

Cutcher said in order to get hired as a set designer for a theater company or a production crew for a television show, she must have a portfolio of work that is up to professional standards. She is working on building her portfolio at UNM.

“The students who have the time, who don’t have full-time jobs, who don’t have children, are the younger students. (They) become more involved and more aware of the issues happening here at the University,” he said.

Liu said Students for Students supports both traditional and nontraditional students.

“Our team is very diverse and meets other constituencies from the international students program, university honors program (and others),” he said.

average of eight percent.

Hatathalie said this is an advantage, because members of his slate are more involved on campus.

“And students who live on campus are shown to be more involved,” he said. “It provides our slate with a holistic perspective to better understand how it is to live on and off campus.”

Liu said most of the members of his slate have lived on campus in the past, even though only one member currently does so.

“While only one member is currently living on campus, almost all members have lived on campus at one point. Additionally, we have three former, one current, and one pending Residence Life and Student Housing employees on the team.”

underrepresented in the decisionmaking process, and that it’s time for something to change.

“I think it’s something really beneficial for the students to agree on and really unite behind,” he said.

“Nobody wants to pay any more.”

ASUNM scheduled an emergency Senate meeting for tonight at 7 p.m. to discuss passing a resolution on the issue. Montoya-Mora said he hopes the meeting will create official documentation voicing student opposition to the increases.

Muraida said she will push for a strong resolution condemning the regents’ proposal to raise fees over the SFRB and SBLT recommendations.

“I can’t speak to whether everyone

is opposed to (the increases), but personally I have a lot of respect for the process of allocating student fees and I witnessed the deliberation process, and I put a lot of trust in the decision and final outcome.”

GPSA Rep. Matthew Rush said time constraints prevented GPSA from placing a similar resolution on the agenda for its steering committee meeting held Monday, but said representatives could propose an emergency measure for the March 31 meeting.

The Board of Regents has yet to finalize either the tuition or fee increases and will discuss the budget further on March 23 before approving the final budget April 27.

Letters Save the Children reps a misleading nuisance Editor, About once a month when walking to and from classes, I get asked “Do you have a minute to help save the children?” I am talking about the men and women from Save the Children. Every time I see these people, I wonder why they are allowed to stand there and accost students going about their business. Why are they so special?

Each time I have seen other organizations on campus, they are set up at tables and booths in locations where students can approach them, and not all over campus yelling out to students.

Why is this not the same for this organization?

Looking closer at the organization, it claims to have helped 100 million children worldwide in 2011. Its website claims that one in four children in America, about 16 million total, live in poverty.

It states the organization helped 5,012 U.S. children through their Early Steps for School Success program, 59,000 children with its literacy program, and 12,899 children with the Physical Activity and Nutrition program. That adds up to 76,911 U.S. children helped out of the estimated 16 million needing help — a significantly smaller amount than the 99,923,089 children Save the Children claims to have assisted in other countries.

I am not against helping organizations designed to help others, but charity begins at home. This University removed the peaceful protesters of (un)Occupy Albuquerque from campus under the guise of safety concerns, but I would rather walk by a group of peaceful protesters than by these people who yell out to me several times a day.

Give them a few tables and let them set up a booth in a central location and let those students interested in helping approach them, not the other way around.

James Ralls UNM student

Bigger houses make for much bigger problems Editor, I enjoy living in my sunny, bright, 9 ½ foot by 12 foot home — 114 square feet — with six windows. Sunshine warms my home on many winter days. My home is a room in the house of a friend.

I have no right to a much larger home while many millions worldwide have no home.

The bigger the house, the more materials were used to build it and the more stuff bought to fill it.

The bigger the house, usually the more energy consumed to heat or cool it — causing more poisoned air and global climate chaos.

The bigger the house, the more repairs to do and the more time spent cleaning it.

The bigger the house, the more destruction to our environment and the more unfairness to our sisters and brothers who have no decent shelter.

If I were given the most luxurious mansion in this city, I would not keep it. I would be ashamed to live in it.

Column

Art classification is strictly subjective

by Devon Stevens

Daily Lobo columnist How does one determine what is high-class and low-class literature? How does one tell the difference between classy and trashy films or TV shows? What makes music good or bad?

It is all the same question, really, and a crazy-complicated one that I will never have time to fully solve or even discuss in this format, partially because nobody agrees on criteria for highbrow or lowbrow art. I can’t decided for myself if I want to consider things like structure or purpose exclusively or together.

There are a lot of things that go into making a story or an essay or a column or music — things like structure, purpose, audience, style and more. Questions of low art versus high art seem quickly solved if I decided to eject all of these things except one. I could say, “Class is what you get when your story has a complicated and coherent structure.” But complications arise almost immediately because Harlequin Romance novels are clearly on the side of trash and are often more structured than many literary novels.

I could say that the author’s purpose is what determines the difference. If he is writing to elevate us, then it is high-class art. If he is writing to entertain or make money, then he is making low-class hack work.

But this can’t be right either, because you run into people like Anthony Trollope who wrote purely for money, and he was open about it. And if entertainment is low class, then Shakespeare is as low class as they come because his characters say repeatedly that all they wish to do is entertain.

I could say that the audience is the thing that determines what class of work is in. If it is written for the educated or elite, then it is classy.

If it is written for the poor, it is low class. But that’s incredibly insulting and we must then discount pretty much every novel written after 1890 and a great deal before. No Moby Dick, for instance.

None of these simple, singular approaches is enough to determine what is classy or not.

We almost universally can call a modern-day action flick trashy. “It has no redeeming value.”

“It’s too violent.” “They swear.”

However, if we want to discount lurid, violence-ridden sexual filth from the hallowed halls of art, then we must reject the works of Homer and Chaucer. Can I or anyone else say that “South Park” isn’t art because of fart jokes? Fifty years from now, it may be remembered as emblematic of our times and as one of the turn of the century’s greatest pieces of satire. Even an artist like Ke$ha might be remembered in ways far different than what we imagine.

Or great works that everybody praises might not be remembered at all. Will Infinite Jest be remembered? How could it, if most of the people on the street have never heard of it? There appears to be no true way to determine what is good and what is not except by majority vote.

I can’t stand Moby Dick. I find it tedious, the sections on whaling distracting, and the love the author has for theme, metaphor and allegory overwrought and pretentious. Yet most people who have sat down and read the thing agree, over my objections, that it is a masterpiece. The key here appears to be personal preference. I know people who would put Stephen King far down on the scale of respectability. I would rank his works higher: still lowbrow but increasing in respectability — depending on the story, of course.

When a large number of people agree that something is good, it gets put in the classic section. If a large amount of people hate it, it gets put in the bargain bin and forgotten about. If two groups disagree, then you get Twilight.

If personal preference is the only thing that determines what is classy and what isn’t, then why have these distinctions at all? Or is there more to it? I don’t have the answer. But I welcome any and all opinions on this subject. Except from you.

You know who you are.

Letter Fluke’s unconstitutional plea provokes backlash Editor, When I think of all the things a person could say about a woman that would be considered misogynistic, calling one a “slut” is definitely one of them. However, as I read the column “Attacks on Fluke sign of US misogyny” by Jason Darensburg, and then went on to watch the video clips of both Fluke and Limbaugh, I have to say that this is hardly a sign that our country is a place where women are oppressed.

Limbaugh and others like him who share his “special” way with words make a living by being over the top, and a lot of the comments they make are meant to draw an audience. The statements that Fluke made in front of the congressional panel were the right fuel for their fire.

Without sharing his flair, I have to agree with Limbaugh that the statements she made about not being able to afford contraception, and that it should be provided to her by her school’s health insurance plan, are absolutely ridiculous.

There would not have been such a firestorm had she only presented the medical reasons without the recreational ones for using contraceptives.

Another reason for the backlash was that her plea to have a religious institution provide her with contraceptives is just plain unconstitutional. It infringes on the right to religious freedom of such organizations.

As an active Catholic, I would in every way be opposed to such a law because it goes against the Church’s belief of “natural law,” or the design of God built into the human race.

Religious freedom was one of the foundations upon which this country was built and it should not so easily be violated.

Fluke riled up a lot of people with her

comments and people responded harshly not because they are women haters but because part of her argument lacked significance.

Seriously, to say that the cost of birth control was causing a financial burden on her was just not very convincing.

Long jumper takes NCAA title

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Floyd Ross competes at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational in the triple jump Feb. 10 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Ross finished 8th place the NCAA National Championship in Nampa, Idaho.

by Nathan Farmer

sports@dailylobo.com Earning first place was not on UNM long jumper Kendall Spencer’s mind going into the national indoor championship track and field meet on March 9.

But Spencer, a sophomore, won the event with a leap of 26 feet, 3.5 inches at the NCAA Championships in Nampa, Idaho and was named a first-team All-American. “I had no idea I was going to have a big enough jump to win it,� he said. “All I was trying to do was make it to the finals.�

Junior triple jumper Floyd Ross and senior distance runner Sarah Waldron joined Spencer on the firstteam All-American.

Senior distance runner Ross Millington and junior distance runner Josephine Moultrie were named to the second-team All-American.

To be named an All-American firstteam, players must finish in the top eight of their respective events and between ninth and 16th place for second team. Head track and field coach Joe The University of New Mexico Student Publications Board is now accepting applications for

Best Student Essays Editor 2012-13 This position requires approximately 10 hours per week and entails supervision of a volunteer staff.

Franklin said it’s great for the program to have five athletes be recognized. “Those three being first-team All-American is pretty special and impressive,� he said. “Obviously the second-team is impressive and a great job, but the first-team is obviously a step above and Kendall Spencer being a national champion is very rare.�

Spencer is the first national champion at UNM since 2010, when former Lobo, Lee Emanuel, received the title back-to-back in the mile event. Spencer’s jump at the national championships was enough to give him a UNM and MWC record.

Spencer was dealing with injuries during a majority of his time as a Lobo, but Franklin said the hard work he put in during rehab helped him as everything came together in the final meet. “Once his injury got better this year, he started to see the benefit of all of the consistent work that he did while he was injured,� Franklin said. “The odds are so minuscule to be a national champion and the accomplishment is so immense, it’s just incredible.�

Ross and Waldron have similar

stories and were both lucky to even be competing after qualifying on March 3 in a last-chance meet.

The last-chance meet was created to give athletes one final attempt to make the time to qualify for the NCAA championships.

Waldron qualified for the championships in the 5,000-meter race, and Ross made the cut on his final triple jump of the day.

The same luck was with them in the national meet with Ross jumping 51 feet, 10.5 inches on his sixth and final jump to seal eighth place.

Waldron narrowly finished in eighth place as well with a time of 16:07.04 in the 5,000-meter race.

Millington earned his secondteam All-American for the second straight year with his 13th place finish in the 3,000-meter race with a time of 8:08.73.

Franklin said Millington was expecting a higher finish. “We need to make sure we put him in a position where he can accomplish what he wants to,� he said. “I know he wants to be better than what he was last Saturday night.�

MWC champion earns All-American

by Thomas Romero-Salas

Erickson said her improved mental toughness, along with her dedication in training, fueled her.

“My attitude this year I think, in all, was really good,” Erickson said.

“I worked really hard for everything that I’ve gotten at the end, so I’m pretty proud of myself.”

Before coming to UNM, Erickson took a few years off from diving to pursue gymnastics.

Looking back, she said she can’t believe how strenuous her early days of diving were.

“It was really hard,” Erickson said. “I guess I didn’t really realize how hard it was then, but looking back on it, and knowing, it took a lot of guts to do those dives.”

Sanchez said Erickson grew not only as a diver, but as a person, throughout her years at UNM. “She’s more mature, she definitely has a better head on her shoulders,” Sanchez said. “It was great to see her finish this way.”

Erickson said Sanchez helped her grow into the person she is today, and he is more than a coach to her.

“He’s been like another parent to me,” Erickson said. “I’ve grown up so much since I first came in as a freshman and I don’t know if any other coach could have done it, because I was that bad.”

In her final season, Erickson said she paid her respect and thanks to her coach with her performance.

“I feel like my accomplishments weren’t just for me this year,” Erickson said. “I really did do a lot because I wanted to make him happy and proud of me.”

tromeros@unm.edu

Student Ashlee “Gabby” Erickson accomplished something no Lobo diver has done since 2005 — she earned All-American honors.

In the senior’s first NCAA championship, Erickson placed 16th overall in the 1-meter board category and lasted to the final round of 16. Erickson is UNM’s first All-American diver since Becca Barras.

Lobos head coach Abel Sanchez said making the NCAAs is an achievement in itself, but gaining All-American status is a confirmation of everything that Erickson has gone through this season.

“It was an amazing feat, she did really well just to get there,” Sanchez said. “To end up 16th was a testament to her hard work, dedication and it was a great feat for not only her but for the University, the team — so everyone won.”

At the start of the season, Erickson said she didn’t consider the possibility of becoming an All-American because she didn’t know what the award was.

“It wasn’t one of my goals,” Erickson said. “I think I came into diving collegiately pretty unaware of how the sport works and how athletics in general work.”

All-American status wasn’t the only thing Erickson accomplished this season. She also won the Mountain West Conference 1-meter and 3-meter board events, along with MWC Diver of the Year award.
