Undergraduate tuition and fee increases Tuition and Fees
UNM may undergo more than $4.6 million in revenue reductions, the University is left with roughly $1.9 million in total revenue from tuition and fees. “The Legislature imposes this 3.1 percent tuition credit, so I saw it as a
3 percent tuition increase,” student regent Jake Wellman said. “This, in my eyes, is something I’m willing to pay for — $2 million invested in new faculty members who will really make my education enriching.” Although the Regents’ Finance

The UNM Board of Regents decided not to increase student fees and approved a 5.5 percent tuitionand-fee increase that will raise costs to students roughly $305 next year. Tuition alone will increase 7 percent next year. The regents retracted a proposal to increase student fees by $40 per student, dropping the total tuition-and-fee increase from 6.3 to 5.5 percent. Overall in-state tuition will be $5,810 next year. President David Schmidly praised the regents for completing “the most constructive budget process to ever take place at the University.” UNM expects to make more than $6.5 million in tuition revenue next year, but because of the tuition credit, the state will take more than $3.8 million from the University.

ASUNM passed a resolution March 30 that proposed eliminating one graduate student position and adding three undergraduate student positions to the Student Fee Review Board. The resolution backs a Student Fee Review Task Force recommendation that contends changing the ratio of the SFRB would make it proportional to the student population. The recommendation would change the number of SFRB members from seven to nine. Seven would represent ASUNM and two would represent

“The undergrads already have a majority.” ~Katie Richardson GPSA President-elect GPSA. “It’s purely to create more equitable representation for undergraduates on the SFRB,” said ASUNM Sen. Heidi Overton, who introduced the measure. Last summer, Overton said, the SFRB Task Force examined the board’s process and UNM policy 1310, the Student Fee Review Board Policy, and came up with recommendations, which are in the public comment phase. “One of the things they found was that the undergraduates contribute more money, and that is not in representation of the board,” Overton said. To change the board’s makeup, President Schmidly and the Board of Regents would have to approve it. However, GPSA President-elect Katie Richardson said the task force’s recommendation to change the ratio of the board is detrimental to students, because graduates bring a unique, more experienced perspective to the board, and many graduate students teach undergraduate classes. “Even as the board stands now, graduates need at least one undergrad to agree for any proposal that we make; the undergrads already have a majority,” Richardson said. “I think it’s always about working together as students, and everything we have in common, but I think losing graduate representation is not what is best for this campus.” Richardson said graduates historically try to give more support to the resource centers than undergraduates, and those centers impact all students on campus. “I’m concerned that if we lose

Undergrad ballot to offer rec center vote by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
ASUNM plans to include two questions on its annual election ballot to determine if students are willing to pay for a recreational facility. ASUNM Sen. Greg Golden introduced the bill to add in the questions at the ASUNM full-Senate meeting March 30. “It’s a call to action for students to get the opportunity to give their

perspective of whether or not they are willing to pay (for a new center),” Golden said. In addition to casting votes for next year’s ASUNM senators, president and vice president April 20, the ballot will ask students, “Are you aware that in the academic year 2011 your tuition may be increased by as much as 8 percent ($220.00 in-state) or ($747.00 out of state)?” and “With knowledge of this tuition increase, would you be willing to pay an additional $107.50 per se-

mester in student fees (separate from tuition) for a (bond of 25-30 years) to fund the construction of a new Student Recreation Center on campus?” according to ASUNM’s resolution. Some representatives at the meeting criticized the measure, saying the many students casting their votes in this election will graduate before the recreation facility is completed. Student fees would cover the building’s expenses, Golden said, but
recreation facility plans haven’t been completed. Golden said a bond would initially fund the center. Students would pay back the bond in fees when the center opened. “You’re ensuring that students aren’t giving up the costs for something they can’t use,” he said. Golden said undergraduate students’ interests don’t change much

Group’s relief funds staying put by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
The UNM Japanese Language Club tried to withdraw funds it raised from its ASUNM account to give to the Japan relief effort, but discovered doing so would violate of the New Mexico State Constitution. The Anti-Donation Clause, article IX, section 14 of the New Mexico Constitution states that, “Neither the state nor any county, school district or municipality shall directly or indirectly lend or pledge its credit or make any donation to or in aid of any person, association or public or private corporation.” Because of the law, University policy prohibits organizations from donating funds in ASUNM accounts to any charitable or political organizations. George Gorospe, president of the UNM Japanese Language Club, said the club wanted to donate to Japan with money from fundraisers the club sponsored to support itself. He said that the organization wanted
ASUNM
to withdraw funds that didn’t come from the state, but University policy prohibits donating funds in a University account. “The students at the (Student Government Accounting Office) told me very quickly that as a student organization we could not donate our money because of the University’s restrictions,” he said. “We were unhappy that we could not donate our self-generated funds to the New Mexico Supporting Japan Organization.” Every semester, Gorospe said the Student Activities Center holds workshops for student organizations that outline ASUNM account restrictions. But he said he was unaware those restrictions applied to money in organizations’ accounts that they had earned. Yvette Hall, senior accountant at the Student Government Accounting Office, said when student organizations deposit money into their UNM accounts, the money technically becomes state funds and falls under the Anti-Donation Clause.
“So what we’ve told student organizations in the past is that if they are going to have any fundraising efforts for any charitable or political causes that they should arrange it with the charity to have people donate directly to them, instead of funneling it through the student organization account at the University,” she said. However, Gorospe said the group held a separate bake sale that raised almost $1,000, and it plans to sell Japanese sweets and street food at the Office of International Program Studies International Festival on Thursday. Proceeds will go to the New Mexico Supporting Japan Organization.
Before the vote, some ASUNM senators thought supporting the task force’s recommendation might complicate future work with GPSA. In the end, every ASUNM senator voted in favor of the recommendation, except one, who abstained. Sen. Adrian Cortinas said ASUNM should focus on undergraduates’ needs. He said correcting the
misrepresentation of undergraduates on the SFRB is crucial. “We’re not against graduate students,” Cortinas said. “We put up $7 million as opposed to their $2 million. Just because we want to work with them doesn’t mean we need to do everything they say. Think undergraduates first, and then think GPSA next.”
Golden said ASUNM President Laz Cardenas and other ASUNM members will encourage students to vote so that they can get a true representation of student opinions. “The main goal is to get the most
unbiased info possible,” Golden said. “We want to say, ‘Here are the facts, here is what is going to be constructed, and what it is going to cost.’ Hopefully we get a big turnout to speak on this issue.”

LETTER Collegiates need to stick together to make progress Editor, Professor Wilcox’s letter should be circulated throughout the nation. As a fiscal, social conservative, there were many times when I was an undergraduate that I wrote in to critique the ruminations of “entitlement” espoused by some in academia. This response to Gov. Susana Martinez was uncommonly apropos as placed with Matthew Dahlgren’s letter. As a career orator, I could not more eloquently and clearly address the problem of perspective demonstrated by our elected officials. At a federal level, states, local governments, citizens, etc. are being asked to “chip in” or make changes while the sources of financial mismanagement continue to draw high salaries and enjoy unprecedented perks. Concurrently, the value of education is lost if the professional teachers are hemmed in even further. Budgets already strain creative and active teaching methodologies. Dahlgren addressed the essence of formal education’s value in his writing. Many people have found professional success without college. In an information-overloaded society, educational structures of education are immeasurably valuable. These concepts may not be easily grasped by the many tiers of administrators and elected officials who are concerned with cutting costs anywhere but in their opulent offices, but we as citizens and national members of the college-educated community should echo the themes of these two letters.

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist Yesterday I read an article in the Guardian that exposed the FBI for destroying thousands of files in the 1940s, containing reports of alien spacecrafts (UFO’s) from all over the United States. Well, technically it wasn’t an exposé, since the FBI has made this memo public (along with many others) in their online records database called the “The Vault.” As an “X-Files” enthusiast and conspiracy theory fan, this caught my attention and reminded me of a conversation I had with my friend the day before wherein he noted that I tend to relate something to an episode of “The X-Files” at least once a week. Despite the nerd-factor related to spending my nights watching episode after episode, as the now very popular theme song composed by Mark Snow lulled me to sleep, I’m confident that my time was not spent in vain. And however annoying my references may be, I am certain that I have learned some very important life lessons, four of which I will share with you now:
Always be yourself: Fox Mulder was ostracized, poked fun at, shot at, bullied, led on wild goose chases and was even fired multiple times from his job. But he never strayed from himself, his character or his search for truth. He knew who he was and what he believed in, despite what others said or thought about him. This usually worked out to his advantage. With this strength of character, Mulder was able to easily solve cases. Find your counterpart: Mulder was the conspiracy theorist, the free thinker, the crazy one. Scully, his partner, was a doctor, a scientist and rational thinker. But despite their differences, they complimented each other perfectly, playing off of each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Having a counterpart can be extremely important in helping you open your mind to other considerations. Remember, the simplest explanation is often the correct one. But the most far-fetched ridiculous explanation is often the correct one, too. Find somebody who does this for you. Trying to explain everything logically can sometimes find you an answer, but may often result in not being able to explain anything at all. Sometimes you just have to “go with it.” Find
a balance between over-thinking things and under-thinking things. The truth shall set you free: This is probably the most important lesson you can take away from “The X-Files.” Never stop searching for the truth. Whether it be uncovering the source of a rumor you heard in class, or a deeply-rooted, highly covered-up government conspiracy wherein the military is creating hybrid super soldiers. The truth will never fail you. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to trust no one, that the government denies knowledge, that neighborhood grass monsters, bat people, genies, the flukeman, the jersey devil, and the chupacabra all exist. Also, the origin of our species came from aliens who crashed onto earth in large metal spaceships, on which texts from all the major religions is written (in a Native American language that can only be translated by one guy… who died.) I’d take it to heart. Golinko is a UNM student and Daily Lobo designer.
LETTER I come from an alien planet, and my message is simple Editor, I am a visitor to your planet. I am from a planet located in a distant and much older galaxy than yours. As such, I have a detached, more objective perspective of your planet’s events and the possible outcomes. Your perspective is limited because you’re enmeshed in what’s happening. For the record, I reside on the planet “Reality.” Past generations on my planet have witnessed the events taking place on your planet several times. The sequence of events has repeated over and over again in parts of our universe, and the outcome has always been one of two possibilities because there are only two possibilities. The sequence of events, in summary, is this: A new solar system comes into being; a life-sustaining planet comes into being in that solar system. Primitive life forms come into being on that planet and evolve into more complex, conscious life forms. Eventually, a life form comes into being that
consists of individuals who seek purpose and ask if what they do or believe is truth — if it influences what happens to them in the future. Initially, these ponderings are limited to what might help one individual gain an advantage over another either in the present, the future in this lifetime, or even in what is supposed to exist future lifetimes. This assumption results in a perceived struggle between individuals to establish who is entitled to more planetary wealth and who is not. It causes planet occupants to divide into warring camps and create conflicts that eventually turn into large-scale wars. This happens when planet occupants increase and space and resources decrease. This is your planet’s present situation. And this is the most critical time for you. My ancestors have witnessed history, and it indicates that when planet occupants reach the degree of consciousness that you have reached, and interact with each other and the planet as you do, there will be one of two outcomes: One: You will stay divided into warring camps and fight each other until planet resources are depleted. Then, your species will become extinct and another species will come into being — one that can adapt to the planet in whatever condition your species left it.
Two: Your species will become aware of the first outcome’s eventuality, and they’ll inform others about what lies ahead unless there is a shift in thinking. When the second outcome happens, a species continues to survive because its members work cooperatively and compassionately to ensure survival. Now, you know my purpose for visiting your planet — to inform you about what my ancestors have witnessed and to tell you that how you interact with others and the planet determines whether you will survive or become extinct. I cannot influence the decision you make. That is entirely up to you. In the past, when visitors from my planet have done what I did, individuals of other planets have been about 50-50 when it comes to extinction or survival. As I leave to return to “Reality,” I feel compelled to inform you that whichever choice you make, the inhabitants of “Reality” have felt nothing but compassion for your planet’s and the universe’s inhabitants.

Subway bomber still at large by Yuras Karmanau Associated Press
MINSK, Belarus — The toll in the Belarus subway bombing rose to 12 dead and more than 200 wounded Tuesday and authorities said several people have been detained in what they are calling a terrorist attack. The opposition, meanwhile, voiced fears that authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko would use the attack to launch an increased crackdown on dissent. Belarus’ domestic security agency, which still goes under its Soviet-era name KGB, said it had identified the likely perpetrator of Monday’s explosion at a busy downtown subway station and was searching for him. It described him as a well-built man in his 20s, but didn’t elaborate. Interior Minister Anatoly Kuleshov said the bomb apparently was radiocontrolled and police had created composite pictures of two male suspects using testimony from witnesses. His office said the bomb, which had been placed under a bench at the Oktyabrskaya station, exploded as people were coming off trains during the evening rush hour. Deputy prosecutor-general Andrei Shved said several people have been detained in the investigation of the blast, but gave no details. It was not
at the
clear if those people were regarded as suspects. The Oktyabrskaya station is within 100 meters (yards) of the presidential administration building and the Palace of the Republic, a concert hall often used for government ceremonies. There was no claim of responsibility for the blast and police did not identify any possible perpetrators. Lukashenko told officials that “foreign forces� could be behind the explosion, but didn’t elaborate. On Tuesday, KGB agents searched one of the main Belarusian independent newspapers, Nasha Niva, editor Andrei Skurko told The Associated Press. “They are blockading us in the editorial offices� and demanding the paper turn over videos taken at the blast site, he said. Authorities said 204 people sought medical help after the blast and 157 of them were hospitalized, including 22 in critical condition. Viktor Sirenko, the chief doctor at the Minsk Emergency Hospital, said many victims had lost arms or legs. People streamed to the site to lay flowers as police tightened security at all subway stations in the Belarusian capital. “I went through that hell, I saw that pile of disfigured bodies,� 37-year old Nina Rusetskaya said as she lit a
candle at the site. “I rode a car in the back of the train and only survived by a miracle.� Several hundred opposition activists gathered at the subway station on Tuesday evening. Police left them alone, but the activists said they expected to see more raids and arrests under the pretext of fighting extremism. Lukashenko, dubbed “Europe’s last dictator� by the West, was declared the overwhelming winner of December’s presidential election that international observers said was rigged. He has run the former Soviet nation of 10 million with an iron fist for nearly 17 years, retaining Sovietstyle controls over the economy and cracking down on opposition and independent media. The president took his 6-year-old son to visit the site of the explosion about two hours after the blast. He later ordered the country’s feared security forces to “turn everything insideout� to find the culprits. “The authorities may use the explosion for further limitations of civil freedoms and tightening security measures,� said Anatoly Lebedko, leader of the opposition United Civil Party. Lebedko was released from jail last week after being arrested in a sweep against opposition supporters after the December presidential election.

proposal 5-2 to not increase student fees. Regents Jamie Koch and Gene Gallegos voted in favor of increasing student fees. Gallegos said students can afford the additional fee. “I have a daughter who goes to UNM,� he said. “In regard to a $40 increase, I’m indifferent, but she’ll pop down $50 for a concert.� The majority of the regents thought otherwise. “I think that it represents a budget that the different constituent groups really worked on understanding — that we have the tuition credit we have to deal with. And what is the most minimal amount that we could really come up with to cover some of the increased costs without really doing harm to the students?� Regent Carolyn Abeita said. The tuition credit instituted by the State Legislature mandated a baseline 3.1 percent tuition increase for New Mexico public higher education institutions. “(The tuition credit) kind of the ties the hands of not just decisionmakers, but the regents,� Wellman said. “In order to run a University that is going to be the best in New Mexico, in the Southwest, or in the nation, you have to invest in it and tuition is one revenue source.� Cutting the fat The regents also approved $10.5 mil-

lion in University-wide cuts. The board approved $900,000 in cuts recommended by the Provost’s Office, including provisions to cut more than $167,000 from the Dean of Students by eliminating the senior program manager and merging the Dean of Students and the associate vice president of Student Life positions. “I really think it reflects some hard work, and it will make a tight budget for the administration, but I think it’s something that everybody can live with,� Abeita said. Regents also approved cutting more than $136,000 from the Office of Equity and Inclusion, $100,000 from Athletics, $300,000 from Continuing Education and more than $1.6 million from the UNM Foundation. Information Technologies received a roughly $2 million funding cut, and academic departments across the University will see more than $870,000 in cuts through various cost-containment measures. The Anderson School of Management and the Education Department will take the brunt of the cuts, each amounting to more than $160,000. Public Administration will see more than $8,000 in cuts. Arts and Sciences was exempted from budget cuts. Chelsea Erven contributed to this report.

Keepin’ it classy Beats and Beats and Beats and…

on’t try to read the whole course catalogue – it’s waaaayyyyy too long, and you’ll get bogged down in a lot of classes with names like “Radiation Oncology Physics” and “ST: NSMS GAANN.” Instead, let the Daily Lobo guide you through our entirely unscientific survey of the best classes at UNM. Keep in mind this is based entirely on hearsay and anecdotal evidence, and be sure to register quick — you don’t want your geeky friends to take up all the spots in the good classes with the best professors.
The Rising Star John Carr taught his first two classes in the geography department a year ago, in spring 2010. Between the two classes, he had about 15 students. The next semester, there were 120 enrolled in his intro to human geography class. “The word spreads, and for that to happen in this short a period of time is nice,” Carr said.
Brenda Leyba is about to graduate with an English degree, but her heart is still stuck in her hip-hop dance class. She unconsciously moves to an imaginary beat while telling the Lobo about her funkiest class. “It’s not like ass-shaking, you know, kind of club dancing. It’s like real dancing,” she said. “(It’s about) the art of teaching you not only the dancing, but the history of hip-hop. It’s very earthy and comes from African dance.” Leyba said teacher Karen Price helps students bring out their creativity while staying within the confines of a not-so-rigidly choreographed routine. “Our final’s coming up, and whatever she choreographed, you put your own style into it,” she said “It’s kind of like when you’re writing a paper. You can still put your voice into something, even though there’s guidelines.” Students in Price’s hip-hop dance class learn to dance to old-school hip-hop as well as newer R&B tracks. And the best part? It’s the only class you’ll ever take where “groove” is an answer on the final exam.
His classes defy what students might think of as “geography.” There’s no studying maps, or the ethnic makeup of certain regions. Instead, Carr’s students spend their class periods discussing topics like the Seattle World Trade Organization riots of 1999. Across all of his classes, from “TransBorder Cities” to “The City as Human Environment,” Carr encourages discussion among his students about issues like globalization and free speech.
“Tuition prices, the world financial meltdown, whether and where my students can get jobs. I guess that’s one sort of big lump of things I’m interested in,” he said. “And the other sub-theme is that I’m really interested in this stuff. So having the chance to give students the opportunity to become excited and empowered about this is what sort of runs me.”

Ghosts, Aliens and JFKs – Oh My! Bill Dewan is fascinated by strange beliefs. That’s why he teaches classes with names like “UFOs in America” and “Urban Legends.” For the summer semester, he’s adding a conspiracy-theory class. “America is a country where conspiracy theory has really gone mainstream. Culture, politics, everyday conversation,” he said. “These courses are designed to get at how do these beliefs arise, who believes in them, who disseminates these stories, and why do people so readily believe them? I think it’s a very complicated, nuanced topic.” Unfortunately, Dewan’s classes won’t give you a definitive answer to whether the moon landing was faked. “The hardest thing is to get students to move away from that initial question, ‘Are these stories real or not? Are UFO’s real or not? Did this really happen?’” he said. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s an
important question to address. But I think it’s more important to talk about why people believe certain things.” And a lot of students believe these “certain” things. Twenty-five to 30 percent say they’ve seen a UFO, and around 37 percent believe they’ve had contact with a ghost, according to a survey of about 600 UNM students Dewan recently completed. Dewan said these numbers reflect that students will interpret experiences in different ways. “A strange light in the sky, depending on your belief system, could be a satellite, could be a weather balloon, could be a UFO,” he said. Students wishing to explore the more mysterious side of the universe will have to endure a bit of a drive, because all of Dewan’s classes are taught at UNM West. Coincidence? Or is there something someone doesn’t want us to know?

From Agamemnon to George Clooney “The Iliad” might not be the first subject that comes to mind when you think “party time.” But Monica Cyrino’s Greek mythology class will make you love the epic poems of Homer. Cyrino delivers her classes like standup routines, finding humor even in the driest prose of ancient Greece. Oh, and, for no apparent reason, you can expect to see lots of slides of George Clooney. Lots and lots of slides of George Clooney.
Cyrino’s wacky approach to classics proves popular among the students. Greek Mythology is regularly voted “best class” in the Daily Lobo’s Lo Mejor survey. In fact, she took the top two spots this year — her “Big Screen Rome” class took the number two spot and has 461 students enrolled. Oh yeah, and that Greek mythology class wasn’t even offered this semester, and it still won “best class.” How’s that for popular?
Missing novelist contacts family by Rod McGuirk Associated Press
CANBERRA, Australia — A Chinese-born Australian spy novelist who disappeared in China has been contacted and says he is in a hospital, though a friend claimed Wednesday he may be in the custody of secret police. The Sydney-based spy novelist and political blogger Yang Hengjun disappeared shortly after phoning his assistant from Guangzhou airport in southeastern China on Sunday to say three men were following him, said his friend Feng Chongyi, an associate professor in China Studies at the University of Technology in Sydney. He later phoned his sister to give a prearranged signal that meant he had been detained by the secret police, Feng said. Feng said one of his students in Guangzhou was able to phone Yang on Wednesday. Yang told the student he was in a hospital but was healthy and had been out of contact because his cellphone ran out of power. “We have a very bizarre situation now,” Feng said. “It’s my guess that the authorities just want the situation to calm down and then will let him walk away, but he has to deny that he was held by authorities until he leaves China,” he added. Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement that Yang spoke to his family Wednesday “to say he was well.” “We are seeking urgently to speak to him directly to confirm his situation,” the department said. The department said China had
not advised Australia that Yang had been detained. China’s Foreign Ministry has said it has no information on Yang. Feng said he had been unable to contact Yang from Sydney by phone but had been told by the student of the contact by e-mail. The Associated Press was also unable to contact Yang by phone Wednesday. Yang, 46, was an official in the Chinese Foreign Ministry before moving to Australia. His novel, “Fatal Weakness,” deals with espionage between China and the United States and has been published on the Internet in China. He also writes a blog that discusses sensitive issues, criticizing the widespread government corruption and wealth gap that have accompanied China’s rapid growth. His writings also have called for democracy, saying the power to make decisions lies with the people. Yang spends most of his time in China, although his wife and two children live in their Sydney home, Feng said. London-based human rights group Amnesty International on Wednesday demanded that China reveal Yang’s whereabouts. “Yang Hengjun’s disappearance is extremely worrying, especially as it comes during one of the biggest roundups of activists and critics for years,” Amnesty’s Catherine Baber said in a statement. Amnesty said it has logged dozens of arrests, detentions and disappearances of activists, Twitter-users and bloggers since February, when online calls for protests similar to those in the Middle East and North Africa began to circulate.

Not even the royals wait till honeymoon by Gregory Katz Associated Press
LONDON — In 1981, Princess Diana’s uncle made a public statement before her royal wedding to clear up The Question: Yes, she was a virgin. What a difference a generation makes. Today, few people seem the least bit concerned that Prince William and Kate Middleton, set to wed this month, have been living together off and on since their university days. “We live in a modern age and people do all sorts of things before they settle down,� said Keith Morley, 34, an engineer from Birmingham. “It’s probably best that they lived together before making a commitment.� Some historians say it’s about time the royals shed the prudishness they exhibited at the time of Diana’s marriage, which came years after the pill and the Summer of Love made casual sex more socially acceptable even in traditionally uptight Britain. The modern-day tolerance of William and Middleton’s living arrangements, many say, just brings the House of Windsor in line with the times. Part of the change may have to do with the very public infi-
delities that played out in the disastrous marriage of Charles and Diana, which rocked the royal family to its core. “After two decades of scandal, I think it’s the royal family recognizing that to be normal is to their advantage,� said Deborah Cohen, a historian at Northwestern University in Chicago who specializes in modern Britain. “It’s a canny refashioning of the image. There is no longer an investment in being anachronistic, or a public expectation that they ought to be harkening back to a different era of sexual politics.� At the time of Diana’s engagement, the royal family and its advisers expected that she be a virgin, sparking dozens of speculative newspaper stories. It all prompted her late uncle, Lord Fermoy, to pronounce publicly that she was a “bona fide� virgin. The issue of Diana’s virginity wasn’t based on a fixed rule but was part of a set of unwritten conventions governing royal life, a code of behavior that has evolved — slowly — over the centuries as social values change. It is the monarch who sets the tone, so the views of Queen Elizabeth II have prevailed for nearly six decades. Practical concerns, more than
squeamishness about sex, were behind the royal family’s historic concerns over the virginity of a prospective bride, Cohen said. There were fears that a princess could be carrying another man’s child, bringing an illegitimate heir to the throne. This was particularly important before paternity testing provided a scientific way to determine a child’s biological father.
“After two decades of scandal, I think it’s the royal family recognizing that to be normal is to their advantage.� ~Deborah Cohen Historian By Diana’s time, Cohen said, the issue of virginity had come to represent a yearning for lost innocence as Britain was gripped by a perceived social breakdown driven home by its unwanted status of having Europe’s highest divorce rate. “What began as a concern about
legitimacy acquired all sort of connotations tied to social purity,� Cohen said. “Diana’s virginity became symbolic of the possibility of a return to an innocent past for everyone, and now we’re so past that, it’s laughable.� In effect, that liberates the new royal couple to live their own lives without carrying such a heavy weight of society’s expectations. They are not expected to adhere to an ideal that fell out of fashion several generations ago, long before Middleton sauntered down a charity fashion show runway wearing a transparent dress over black lingerie, producing photos that seem destined to live forever on the Internet. In Diana’s day, the risque photos of a likely future queen might have torpedoed any wedding plans. Now they raise a few eyebrows, but nothing more. A spokesman for Prince William, who refused to be identified because of royal policy, said palace officials would not comment on whether attitudes have changed, preferring to leave that role to others. Middleton’s age also offers a partial explanation for the different attitudes toward the two royal brides. She is 29; Diana was just 19 when her engagement to Charles was announced after a brief court-
ship. There was a general expectation that the young nursery school teacher would not have had any lovers before Charles. “There is no rule that the royal bride has to be a virgin, and there never has been,� said Noel Cox, a law professor and royal scholar at Aberystwyth University in Wales. “Obviously it would present difficulties if the heir chose someone who was notoriously promiscuous — that would be unpopular — but they could do that if they wanted to.� Diana’s virginity wasn’t a defined issue, experts say, but the absence of prior boyfriends with embarrassing tales to tell was a big plus from the royals’ point of view. At the time of her engagement, Charles was already in an on-again, off-again romantic relationship with Camilla Shand, who decades later would become his second wife. Charles may well have wanted to marry Camilla, but she was not seen as an appropriate choice because she was known to have had several boyfriends by that time. Some historians and commentators believe this was a major factor in Charles’ fateful decision to marry Diana rather than Camilla, setting in motion a tragic chain of events that culminated with Diana’s 1997 death in a car crash.

WE MAKE IT FRESH WHEN YOU
Voted #1 Sushi! Check it out on our Outdoor Patio. Robert Maes / Daily Lobo “Que Feo,” an exhibit exploring themes of violence, sexuality, racism and exploitation of women, is in the LGBTQ Resource Center until the end of March. The exhibit is presented by Vistas Latinas, an artists’ collective that recently transferred to Albuquerque from New York.
Gallery offers pretty ugly art by Andrew Beale abeale@unm.edu
Apparently this really happened: During World War II, pinball machines in family restaurants exhorted players to “Kill The Jap.” How ugly, indeed. The Que Feo exhibit is a collection of artwork previously displayed at the 105 Art Gallery and created by artists’ collective Vistas Latinas. It has taken up residence in the LGBTQ Resource Center until the end of May, and the pieces pull no punches. Regina Araujo Corritore’s “WWII War Toy,” for example, features a caricature of a Japanese soldier and the aforementioned words of “encouragement.” A plaque next to the painting explains that it’s based on an actual pinball machine Corritore saw as a kid, and it draws connections to modern war-themed video games. Corritore, the exhibit’s curator and an art instructor at UNM’s Valencia campus, said the Vistas Latinas collective formed in New York City in 1992 as a reaction against the annual tradition of Columbus Day. “They were doing a lot of artwork and exhibitions around Columbus, and we wanted a more indigenous, more grassroots point of view about the colonialization of America and the conquest. We wanted to tell a different side of the story, so we decided to do our own exhibition and it was called Adios Columbus.” Corritore and several other members of the collective recently moved to Albuquerque and decided to continue their provocations against mainstream culture. She said they
got the idea for the theme of the first exhibit from the “ugliness” they perceived in sexualized advertisements that degraded women. The group decided to undermine the advertisements by placing stickers on them that read “Que feo,” or “How ugly,” Corritore said. “Any cigarette or liquor ads, any overly sexist advertisement, like when Lobo Louie and Route 66 got together, and they started doing really sexually offensive imagery, we put a ‘Que feo’ sticker on that,” she said. “And also, you know, with all these racist and homophobic advertisements going around, you know. The way they’re going after immigrants. Any time we see any stuff like that, we put our opinion on it. Sort of like an urban guerrilla graffiti kind of thing.” The group decided to put together the exhibit as a commentary on rigid cultural standards for beauty, Corritore said. “We decided that women are so beat up about beauty, you know, and feeling bad about themselves and being told what is beautiful and what is not, that we decided that we were going to take ownership of it. We decide what’s beautiful and what’s ugly,” she said. Many of the pieces feature a combination of violence and sexual imagery, like Justine Ortiz’s “Cat Show (2).” The oil painting depicts a woman with the head of a cat, holding her severed legs at a suggestively spread angle to the viewer. Ortiz said the piece reflects the hidden darkness at the root of sexual symbolism in mainstream American culture. “When you get closer, you don’t
get what you see from afar… She’s got her legs spread up, like in some kind of typical stripper-joint kinda place,” she said. “But when you get closer you see that her legs have been cut off and, like, did she cut them off? It’s the idea that you think you’re getting one thing, and you think you’re attracted to it because of the typical idea behind it. But then when you get close you see what it actually is, is something violent and ugly, which again points back to the objectification of women in that kind of environment, strip shows.” Alma Rosa Silva-Bañuelos, the Program Coordinator for the LGBTQ Resource Center, said she hopes the exhibit will encourage students to express themselves through art. “I think a lot of these pieces also have some great messages and also are part of healing. And I feel like that’s something we want our community to be able to access: how to be creative, how to use art in a way to help them with their own identity, but also how to express themselves through the struggles and successes of their life. And then to be inspired to actually show their artwork here at the resource center,” she said. Corritore said Vistas Latinas is encouraged by the success they’ve had so far in Albuquerque, and the collective appreciates the opportunity to display its work on campus. “We’re really happy that Alma Rosa and the people from the Resource Center brought our show there, so we wanted to thank them,” he said. “It’s really good to meet and dialogue with different communities and different people. That’s what it’s all about, is the dialogue.”

Dylan Smith / Daily Lobo Pitcher Rudy Jaramillo cocks back to unfurl a pitch in this March 27 file photo. The Lobos lost 4-1 to Texas Tech on Tuesday, marking their ninth consecutive loss. One year after making the NCAA tournament, UNM is just 10-23 overall.
Texas exploits missed signals by Ryan Tomari
rtomari@unm.edu If it’s not hitting, it’s pitching. Oddly enough, neither of those things plagued the UNM baseball team on Tuesday. The Lobos out-hit Texas Tech 11-6 — and for much of the afternoon — had solid pitching. They couldn’t get any runs. Meanwhile, TTU centerfielder Barrett Barnes hit a two-run home TTU 4 run in the top of UNM 1 the fifth, and the Red Raiders outdueled UNM 4-1 at Isotopes Park. Head coach Ray Birmingham said he’s dealing with inconsistencies throughout the lineup. “That’s pretty hard to just score one run on 11 hits,” he said. “… I tell a guy to swing the bat, and he’ll look at three (pitches) and get a drink. I tell a guy that they’re pitching him away, and he’ll try and pull it, and I’m telling a guy he’s pitching him in, and he tries to hit it the other way.” First baseman DJ Peterson was a home run short of hitting for the cycle, but the Lobos have yet to break out of a vicious losing cycle and have dropped nine consecutive games, bringing their record to 10-23 overall. One of the few bright spots, Peterson has been a staple of consistency, and he’s batting .310 with 39 hits and 14 doubles. Peterson has usually

been batting out of the three or four spot, but Tuesday he was dropped in the order to the No. 7 spot. He said that was the first time that happened all season. “I got some pitches up (high), and I was able to square them up to get a couple of base hits,” he said. “I wish things could have went a little different for us.” Instead it was more of the same. The Lobos didn’t give their young pitching staff run support, leaving them to fend almost entirely for themselves. And for awhile, the staff did just that. UNM freshman starting pitcher Sam Wilson had a strong outing, save a handful of pitches early on. Wilson gave up a second-inning solo shot to Stephen Hagen and Barnes’ deciding two-run shot. He worked five innings, giving up five hits and four earned runs, and punched out six batters. Birmingham said his pitchers need to be consistent. “Wilson … made a couple of pitches to guys who hit home runs, and they hit home runs,” he said. “But other than that he pitched really well. So, too, did Cory Maltz, UNM’s right-handed reliever. Maltz entered the game in the sixth inning, striking out three and giving up only one hit and no runs. Birmingham said his postgame speech was to the point because there was no energy for on the field
from either team. “I said, ‘We have a game today. It counts. We’re wearing uniforms and I felt like we were in the morgue.’ But they’re tired, they’ve been on the road and have a hard schedule. Today neither team had any enthusiasm. I think the only guys I heard yelling were me and the coach on the other team. And we’re both in our 50s.” With the Isotopes’ season in full swing, the Lobos have split time at the ballpark. They had batting practice at Lobo Field before walking over to play the Red Raiders. Right after the game finished, UNM gathered its equipment and departed the stadium because the Isotopes had a game slated for 6:30 p.m. Birmingham said it was a weird day for baseball. “You have to walk into the ballpark, and all the things that I have to fix were evident today with all of the surroundings. Does that make sense?” he said. “We’re playing at noon on Tuesday when hardly anybody can come (see us).”
