Sustainable campus

could still use work

by Jeffrey Hertz

hertzjeffrey@yahoo.com During the last five years, UNM has made significant improvements in conserving energy and protecting the environment.

While many Universities in the Southwest receive all their energy from the cities in which they reside, UNM produces 27 percent of its own electricity and all of its own water from wells, only paying the city for water during repairs.

One of the main reasons UNM has been so successful at this is because of the renovation on its central utility plant completed in 2005, which allowed the Physical Plant Department to create extra electricity by using waste steam.

Mary Clark, program specialist at the Office of Sustainability, said other Universities in the Southwest region wish they had a central utility system and Physical Plant as up-to-date and sustainability-conscious as UNM does. With UNM rapidly expanding, UNM President David Schmidly signed UNM to the American College University President Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) in 2007. The program works with the Physical Plant

and UNM’s Sustainability Studies Program (SSP) to develop a carbon action plan that would reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050.

Bruce Milne, professor of biology and director of SSP, and his SUST 434 Capstone class helped write the plan.

“My class and I put together an inventory for carbon emissions on campus and came up with a recipe to fix things,” he said. “One of the key ingredients for this was creating a community of practice — a group of students and faculty who have various titles and professions, but come together under a common goal.”

He said by providing a link between organizations such as the Physical Plant and academic programs such as SSP, UNM has become a sort of laboratory for students as well as an opportunity for them to bring awareness to the Albuquerque community.

Since Schmidly signed UNM to ACUPCC and SSP created a Carbon Action Plan in 2007, UNM has made a lot of progress in being more sustainable, but still has room for improvement:

The University Honors Program allows students the opportunity to earn academic distinctions, but according to the dean of the program, 90 percent of students who enroll in the program drop out of it.

Honors program Dean Rosalie Otero said that while the program offers students a unique opportunity to study interdisciplinary topics, few students complete the 24 credit hour program by graduation.

While classes taken in honors count for credit in a variety of disciplines, primarily in the humanities, they do not fulfill degree requirements for specific classes required in most majors. For example, one class offered combines fine arts and biology, although the student receives only “interdisciplinary” credit upon completion.

Students who complete the program receive an honors designation, either cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude, based on their performance, but Otero said the addition of classes that don’t count toward a student’s major can often be too much of a burden. Otero said humanities courses offered through honors are the only ones that can be used for core credit.

“If students have to do all of core, plus the honors requirements, then the classes for their majors and minors, it can get to be too much,” she said.

Otero said she hopes this problem

Photo Essay: Art Installation

Students from Eso Robinson’s Art Practices II class created an art installation Wednesday on the west side of Ortega Hall. The installation consisted of a sculpture made of string with two distinct sides. In an attempt to pick the brain of the student body, the group created a work that encouraged passing students to share their worries and hopes on colored cards.

Worries of anonymous UNM students hang on the west side of Ortega Hall. The installation has two parts: one for worries, and the other for hopes.

What UNM is doing right: Utilities renovation: UNM has reduced 30 percent of its water usage since the implementation of the Carbon Action Plan. Clark said this was partially due to the installation of more efficient sprinkler systems.

In terms of saving electricity, UNM’s renovationonits boiler system enabled the University to start utilizing waste steam in order to create electricity (a process known as cogeneration). The Taos Campus Solar Array has also reduced electricity consumption with its more than 2,700 photovoltaic solar panels generating 500 kilowatts of power on a sunny day.

Energy conservation: According to the 2012 President’s Report on Sustainability, since May 2008 UNM has reduced 17.66 percent of its overall

energy consumption. Clark said this includes all the heating, cooling and electricity used in the buildings and on campus grounds. UNM’s Physical Plant projects avoided costs of $41.9 million through 2018.

Alternative Transportation: According to the report, as of April 2012, 15.2 percent of the UNM community uses the free transit program as its primary form of transportation to campus. Programs such as Transition UNM, sponsored by SSP, encouraged students to find alternative means of transportation to UNM between 2011 and 2012, which has reduced singleoccupant vehicle usage by 5.4 percent in that one-year period.

Recycling: Clark said a recycling program was started on campus about 10 years ago, and that now UNM diverts about 47 percent of its waste from landfill through recycling. dorms just for honors students.

UNM student Katie Lichtie, who is enrolled in the honors program, said she appreciates the academic rigor and interesting subject matter offered, but is frustrated the program does not compliment her major.

“Being a pre-pharmacy major, being in the honors program really does not do much for me besides give me priority registration and elective credits,” she said. “I think the current program benefits

Community garden: When Milne founded SSP back in 2004, one of his main goals was to start a community garden on campus. Two years ago that vision became a reality with Lobo Gardens.

Turning everything off: Clark said that as green of a campus as UNM has become, students, staff and faculty need to take more responsibility for their energy use by turning off lights, computers and other electrical equipment when leaving classrooms.

More conscious recycling: Although UNM has diverted much of its waste from landfill, Clark said UNM can still work on its recycling habits. “I see plastic bottles thrown in the garbage or next to the recycling bins,” she

said. “We should also not be buying so much plastic. We need to use water bottles and refill them at the stations in the SUB or water fountains around campus.”

Fewer single-occupancy vehicles: Clark said although more students are using the free bus passes each student is provided through Parking and Transportation Services, there are still too many single-occupancy vehicles coming to campus.

“Alternative transportation and car pooling takes planning,” she said.

“I see students who come to campus around 9:30 in the morning after all the parking spots have already been taken and they will drive around campus over and over again, not being able to find a parking spot.”

More state funding: The recession has caused UNM lot of budget problems, but to add to it the Legislature

has not been funding capital projects on campus for the past two years.

“The cost of our utilities renovations that were completed in 2005 totaled $50 million, but the state was not the one who funded it,” Clark said.

“The campus itself had to issue bonds in order to raise money for these projects.”

More green purchasing: Clark said students and faculty need to ask the University to buy more green products to sell at different locations on campus. While the co-op is one establishment on campus that does support local economies and farmers, UNM needs more of these kinds of organizations. Clark said professors could also start using fewer textbooks in their classes and start issuing more homework online in order to cut down on printing on campus.

humanities major the most, which I am not.”

The University-wide honors program hosts more than 1,000 students from all types of majors each year, offering rigorous multidisciplinary courses with small class sizes to undergraduates. Honors students must maintain a 3.2 GPA throughout their college career, and some achieve GPAs above 4.0.

Otero said the unique atmosphere of the department encourages

student success.

“We only allow a maximum of 17 students in a class, which makes for very lively discussions,” she said. “The faculty really gets to know each of the students, and the students get to know each other.”

Otero also said the classes offered allow students to explore subjects from nontraditional perspectives.

“If you are talking about the environment, for instance, you might look at it from an economic point of view,

perhaps political, perhaps historical and maybe even in terms of literature,” Otero said.

Otero said the ultimate goal of the honors college is to prepare students for the world after college.

“This world is really about globalization and being interdisciplinary — so that means if students have already had that kind of experience, you can move around easily (professionally),” Otero said.

Where there is room for improvement:

will be resolved if the honors program becomes a college.

“We will have more core classes that we can offer, so that students can complete honors and core requirements at the same time, and not have to try and do it all,” Otero said.

Dubious facts and wild claims mar GMO debate Editor, My students and I recently attended the public talks about genetically modified organisms, GMOs, organized by UNM Fair Trade Initiative and Save New Mexico Seeds Coalition. The speakers were Dr. Ignacio Chapela via phone from Berkeley and New Mexico plant breeder Richard Bernard. I was deeply dismayed by the unsubstantiated facts and conspiracy theories presented.

My students also noticed that both speakers used unsupported generalizations and said something along the lines of “trust me.” The presentations would have made a greater impression had they included reactions to findings in the scientific literature about GMOs. There have been extensive results concluding that GMOs do not have adverse effects on human health, on animal health or on the environment. Studies have found that the financial well-being of farmers who grow GMO crops is often improved by yield increase, as is the physical health of those using less pesticide.

This has been especially positive for the developing world. None of this was mentioned.

The speakers would carry much more intellectual weight if they’d argue with data.

Why not debate the studies showing that organic crop yields are not as high as GMO crops, and that organic may not be a solution for feeding a planetary population growing by 80 million people a year? Why not debate the merits or demerits of intellectual property rights for innovation? Why not discuss why 14 million farmers in 25 nations buy GMO seeds, instead of telling the audience that Monsanto has duped them all? Why not debate why Chapela’s work was the only article ever retracted by the journal Nature?

A University’s mission is to teach critical thinking. In my human rights course, we study the activist position in the movies “The Future of Food” and “Food, Inc,” and pieces by Vandana Shiva.

We also read opposing evidence in books such as “Whole Earth Discipline: Why Dense Cites, Nuclear Power, Transgenic Crops, Restored Wildlands, and Geoengineering are Necessary,” “Mendel in the Kitchen: A Scientist’s View of Genetically Modified Food” and “Just Food: Where Locavores Get It Wrong and How We Can Truly Eat Responsibly.” We read that in a summary of 81 separate scientific studies conducted over a 15-year period, all financed by the EU rather than private industry, research on GM plants and derived products so far developed and marketed has not shown any new risks to human health or the environment.

A Union of German Academies of Sciences and Humanities report states that “food from insect resistant GMO maize was probably healthier than from non-GMO maize due to lower average levels of the fungal toxins that insect damage can cause.” On a “fact sheet” handed out at the event, however, GM foods were implicated in “a whole host of cancers and other diseases” without data supporting the claim.

Another statement is negative about hybrid seeds without acknowledging that organic farmers use them. Public debate about these issues is essential. There are problems with biotechnology. However, when these issues get confused with conspiracy theories, constructive inquiry is thwarted. Ignoring evidence cannot advance the truth nearly as well as debating it can.

Dr. Peg’s Prescription Avoid dangerous doses of UV radiation Isn’t the sun lovely? Don’t you want to just go bask in it? Strip down and soak it up? Tempting, isn’t it? In fact, I can see some of you right now.

There’s a guy playing Frisbee, his fish-belly pale chest flashing in the sun. There’s a gal lying on a towel with her bare back slowly turning pink like a lobster on the boil. I wince. You’ll both be sorry tomorrow.

People have worshipped the sun from the beginning of time, assigning it the status of a god and creating myriad myths around it. The sun powers our planet, turns leaves green and grows trees tall. It can uplift your mood, bake out a cold or give you that healthy pink glow. But there can be too much of a good thing. Dangers of excess sun exposure range from sunburn to skin cancer, with premature skin aging in between.

Sunlight has three kinds of ultraviolet light in it. UVA is the major player. It can penetrate human skin and is responsible for most skin damage. UVB is mostly absorbed by the ozone layer over the Earth, and what gets through doesn’t penetrate us as deeply as UVA, but it can still be damaging. UVC is killer stuff but fortunately does not get through the ozone.

So when you are looking for sunscreen, find one that says “wide spectrum” and protects from both UVA and UVB. A Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 is recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology for daily use.

Sunburn is painful, whether it is just redness (first degree) or blisters (second

degree). Short term effects, usually starting the next day, are tenderness and pain at the site. You with the Frisbee: try aloe vera gel on that burn tomorrow.

A late effect of blistering sunburn, up to decades later, is an increased risk of skin cancer.

There are three types of skin cancer, based on three types of skin cells: squamous cells, basal cells and melanocytes.

Squamous cells make up most of the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. Squamous cell cancer looks like a rough, skin-colored or reddish raised patch. This kind of cancer is usually not fatal and can be stopped by destroying the cancer locally.

Basal cell cancer is a cancer of the layer of cells just under the squamous cells. Basal cells make up the base of the epidermis. This cancer looks like a firm, pearly grey bump, sometimes with a dimple or blood vessel in it. It is treated by surgically removing it.

Melanoma is the big, bad, ugly of skin cancers. It is named for the cell type from which it arises, just like the others. Melanocytes produce melanin, the compound that gives color to our skin. Melanocytes are tucked in between basal cells in the epidermis, and a bunch of them together is called a mole.

Melanomas often arise in already existing moles. A melanoma can dive deep and spread, and can be deadly. This cancer is the reason we tell you to keep an eye on your moles. If a mole changes color, shape or size, it could be undergoing a malignant transformation from mole to melanoma.

Sun can damage your eyes, too. It can cause photokeratitis, which is basically sunburn of the eyes, a painful but thankfully temporary condition. Too much UV exposure over the long haul can be much more dangerous, causing cataracts, retinal damage and cancer of the eyelids.

It can also cause an unsightly buildup of tissue in the corner of the eye, called a pinguiculum or a pterygium.

If you are going to be out in the sun, protect your eyes with sunglasses and a hat.

Ophthalmologists recommend sunglasses that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation, screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light and have gray lenses for

proper color recognition.

Tanning beds are not a safe alternative to sunbathing. They mostly emit UVA and have all the same risks as UVA from the sun. They can cause burns, cancer, premature skin aging and eye damage. Injuries from tanning beds and lamps account for more than 3,000 emergency room visits every year. Furthermore, I have seen some yucky fungal infections from improperly cleaned tanning beds. The FDA advises against tanning beds and lamps altogether.

What about vitamin D? asks the woman on the towel. Isn’t the sun on my back making vitamin D, and isn’t that good for me? Yes and yes, but read on.

Most of us are deficient in this powerful vitamin that does everything from improve immunity to fighting cancer. We can make it in our own skin, with the help of sunlight. Unfortunately, the amount of sunlight that is needed to make enough vitamin D is, in most cases, more sunlight than is safe. Ask your doctor about vitamin D supplements.

If you want to know how dangerous the sun is on any given day, you can look up the day’s UV index. This is a number that the Environmental Protection Agency has come up with as a way to predict the risk from ultraviolet radiation. This value will vary from place to place and day to day.

The numbers range from 1 to 11+ and higher means more radiation. For example, in Albuquerque yesterday, the UV Index was 10, a severe rating. You can find the daily UV Index at www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvindex There is no nicer feeling than warm sun on an upturned face. I’m not suggesting you become a cave fish. Just be careful. For maximum protection, use sunscreen with SPF 30, wear a hat and clothes to cover and avoid the time of day when the sun is high.

If you see changes on your skin, come in to the SHAC and get checked, or call 277-3136 for an appointment.

Family reclaims lost painting

by Gary Fineout

The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — U.S. authorities ended a more than 70-year-old art drama Wednesday when they returned a 16th century masterpiece to the heirs of a Jewish man after they sought for years to reclaim the painting wrested away during World War II. A grandson of Federico Gentili di Giuseppe listened in via teleconference from London as American authorities signed the documents transferring over the Baroque painting titled “Christ Carrying the Cross Dragged by a Rogue.”

“You did right a wrong and we are very grateful for that,” the grandson, Lionel Salem, told U.S. officials assembled in the federal courthouse in Tallahassee.

U.S. officials had seized the painting last fall while waiting for a federal judge to rule on the ownership of the painting. After signing over custody on Wednesday to the family, the painting was given to representatives of Christie’s, the art auction house.

The family announced that Christie’s would sell the painting at an auction this June, saying the art house has estimated it could fetch as much as $3.5 million.

Federico Gentili di Giuseppe, an Italian of Jewish descent, purchased the painting by Girolamo Romano, an artist also known as Romanino, at a 1914 auction in Paris. The painting, which is believed to date to 1538, depicts Christ, crowned with thorns and wearing a copper silk robe, carrying the cross while being dragged

along by a rope.

The man amassed a large collection of paintings that he displayed at his home in Paris. But he died of natural causes a few weeks before the Nazis stormed into France in 1940, which forced members of his family to flee the country.

The work is believed to have been among more than 70 paintings from Gentili di Giuseppe’s collection auctioned by the French Vichy government in 1941, court records indicate. But members of the family who fled the occupation have said the sale was illegal and had sought the painting’s return.

Court records indicate that some of the paintings auctioned off were allegedly bought by “straw” purchasers on behalf of Nazi officials.

The famed Pinacoteca di Brera museum in Milan, which is owned by the Italian government, acquired the Romanino painting in 1998 but had refused to return it to the family.

Salem said Wednesday that a Christie’s auction house employee who visited the Milan museum last year saw the painting had been lent out and called him. That triggered an investigation that involved Interpol, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Attorney’s office.

The painting was one of some 50 works lent to the Mary Brogan Museum of Art & Science in Tallahassee for an exhibit.

The museum, which had been struggling financially, has since paused daily operations involving the general public.

Arrests in schools spur debate, lawsuit

by Jeri Clausing

The Associated Press

A New Mexico teacher asked a 13-year-old girl to stop talking with her friend and move to another seat. The girl refused. The teacher called the police.

The case is among thousands across the country fueling a longsimmering debate over when educators should bring in the police to deal with disruptive students. A 6-year-old Georgia kindergartner became the latest test case last week when she was hauled off in steel handcuffs after throwing books and toys in a school tantrum.

“Kids are being arrested for being kids,” said Shannon Kennedy, a civil rights attorney who has filed a class-action lawsuit against Albuquerque’s public school district and its police department on behalf of hundreds of kids arrested for minor offenses over the past few years, including having cellphones in class, destroying a history book and inflating a condom.

Police were put in many schools across the country in the 1990s in response to zero tolerance policies and tragedies like the Columbine High massacre. But many overwhelmed teachers and principals began turning to those officers to handle disciplinary issues that in years past would have landed students in detention.

Frustrated teachers aren’t getting enough support from above to deal with increasingly extreme student behavior, from sexual harassment in elementary school to children throwing furniture, said Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque teachers’ union.

“There is more chronic and

extreme disrespect, disinterest and kids who basically don’t care,” Bernstein said.

Experts and educators point to a number of factors that lead to the arrests: Some officers are operating without special training.

Some teachers fear that their physical intervention could lead to lawsuits. School administrators are desperate to get the attention of uninvolved parents. And overwhelmed teachers are unaware that calling in the police to defuse a situation could lead to serious criminal charges.

“I have had some concern for a while that the schools have relied a little too heavily on police officers to handle disciplinary problems,” said Darrel Stephens, a former Charlotte, N.C., police chief and executive director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

There is little national data to back those assertions; no numbers are tracked nationally on how often police are called in to arrest students. Whether the children are actually charged and saddled with criminal records varies by case and jurisdiction. Some youngsters are charged with felonies. Some are freed without further incident.

Others receive tickets.

In Milledgeville, Ga., a city of 18,000 some 90 miles from Atlanta, Salecia Johnson was accused of tearing items off the walls and throwing books and toys in an outburst Friday at Creekside Elementary. Police said she also threw a small shelf that struck the principal in the leg, and jumped on a paper shredder and tried to break a glass frame.

Police didn’t say what set off

see Police page 6

Last September, U.S. Attorney Pamela Marsh ordered the Brogan museum to hold the painting instead of returning it to Italy, saying the federal government believed it rightfully belonged to the man’s family.

A judge subsequently granted Marsh’s request for agents to seize the painting and it was taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and held at an undisclosed location.

A federal judge in February ordered the return of the painting to the family after no one else came forward to dispute its ownership.

The Milan museum and the Italian government have declined past requests for comments.

Marsh said that the quick resolution was somewhat unexpected, noting other ownership disputes have dragged on for years.

“This result happened only because people were courageous and willing to step up and do what they knew was right and good,” Marsh said.

The direct descendants of Gentili di Giuseppe fled to Canada and the U.S. during World War II, although other family members died in concentration camps. Salem said there are now six living heirs and that proceeds from the sale will be divided among them.

A lawyer in France who represented the family has said the heirs have managed to recover 20 paintings in the past 15 years, but there are at least 55 paintings collected by their ancestor that they are still seeking.

“I think it will be taken up by my children and my grandchildren,” Salem said.

the tantrum. Baldwin County (Ga.) schools Superintendent Geneva Braziel called the student’s behavior “violent and disruptive” and said the police were needed to keep the student, other classmates and the school staff safe.

Salecia was handcuffed and taken away in a patrol car to the police station, where she was taken to a squad room and given a soda, police said. She won’t be charged with a crime.

Her aunt, Candace Ruff, said Tuesday the girl had complained about the handcuffs; “she said they really hurt her wrists,” she said. The department’s policy is to handcuff everyone arrested regardless of age for safety reasons, police said.

In Florida, the use of police in schools came up several years ago when officers arrested a kindergartner who threw a tantrum during a jelly bean-counting contest.

A bill was proposed this year to restrict police from arresting kids for misdemeanors or other acts that do not pose serious safety threats.

In Connecticut, court officials began tracking student arrests after becoming concerned about referrals for minor offenses. Since last March, nearly 1,700 students were arrested, almost two-thirds of them for breach of peace, minor fights and disorderly conduct.

In Texas, a December report from the nonprofit Texas Appleseed, a public interest group, says more than 275,000 non-traffic tickets are issued to juveniles each year. While it is unclear how many are written at school, the group says the vast majority are for offenses most commonly linked to incidents like disrupting the class and disorderly conduct.

Texas Sen. John Whitmire said educators and police need to

Don’t worry... it kinda looks like you’re taking notes.

better distinguish between who they are afraid of and who they are mad at.

“If you are afraid of someone because they bring a gun or drugs, of course we come down hard,” Whitmire said. “It’s the kids that just make you mad that you don’t need to make a crime.”

In Albuquerque, which started tracking arrests after noticing more minor cases coming from schools, more than 900 of the district’s 90,000 students were referred to the criminal justice system in the 2009-2010 school year.

Of those, more than 500 were handcuffed, arrested and brought to juvenile detention, officials said. More than 200 were arrested for minor offenses, including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, refusing to obey and interference with staff.

Preliminary numbers indicate arrests have fallen 53 percent since the class-action lawsuit was filed in 2010, prompting law enforcement officials to order more caution.

Albuquerque school officials have declined comment on school arrests, citing the pending litigation.

But juvenile advocates and parents say first arrests could lead to more trouble.

Annette Montano says her 13year-old son was arrested at a middle school for burping in gym class. The tension between him and school officials led to several more run-ins, she said, including a strip search after he was accused of selling drugs.

In Georgia, Salecia’s family said the girl has been suspended for the school year.

Her aunt said, “We would not like to see this happen to another child, because it’s horrifying.”

The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

The hip-hop culture sprouted music potent enough to provoke social change and awareness. Since then, it has been watered down to a warped version of what it was originally about, said solo MC Melvin “Jungle1” Mayes.

Mayes said that when he was growing up, artists had realized what a powerful tool of communication hip-hop was.

“I remember being in the fourth grade — every magazine is telling your kids not to listen to this. I learned about Operation PUSH (People United to Serve Humanity) from (the rapper) Ice Cube, I learned about abortion, I learned about welfare; all those things I learned from hip-hop,” he said. “It changed the entire direction of life, my whole way of thinking — as opposed to now: you have these monosyllabic guys who are rapping about their jeans and their cars. The youth aren’t learning anything from that.”

Since then, the music people call hip-hop has changed dramatically, from talking about social and political issues to clothes and cars, Mayes said. Everything rappers talk about these days insults what hip-hop was supposed to be about, he said, but Albuquerque artists have maintained an organic sound, something that comes

The Albuquerque hip-hop group 2bers began in 1999 with the goal of staying true to their underground identity, MC Collin Troy said. The group’s name is inspired by that goal — tubers are vegetables that grow underground. Since then, he said they have grown past that mentality, which now seems amateur to them.

“It had to do with the underground, and it was so important that you were underground, which, as we’ve matured, is just so ridiculous,” he said.

When the band first formed, the hip-hop community in Albuquerque was just developing as well and there were hardly any local acts performing.

The technology at the time was just beginning to be user-friendly enough for people to create their own beats.

“It was so low-tech. I mean, you got to remember this is before people had personal computers,” he said. “The way we were producing, the means in which we were producing and the format we were producing on — the first show we literally showed up with a tape deck with our beats on tape.”

The tape didn’t work at the show, but fortunately a reggae band that happened to be there laid down the rhythm. The band didn’t intentionally use live music until 2005, and even then, it was one of the few bands using live accompaniment, he said. He said that now the band’s sound has come to incorporate so many different genres and influences that it’s hard to call it hip-hop anymore.

“At the end of the day, we’re rapping to beats, so it’s hip-hop; but really, some songs are very reggae, some songs are very jazzy, some songs are more rock-based,” he said. “Now we have more of a pop sensibility, in a strange way. It’s more pop music than it is rap music … I don’t think people

Rebecca Hampton/ Daily Lobo Collin “Eph Sharpe” Troy sings during a hip-hop performance April 7 at the Historic El Rey Theater. The 2bers have been performing since 1999, but it wasn’t until 2005 that the band was accompanied by live instrumentation rather than recorded beats. would like to hear that, because we’re still real, but it’s a strange journey to have taken, and I think for us it’s really interesting how it parallels with the journey of hip-hop as pop music.”

2bers DJ and UNM student Adam Page said live accompaniment elevates the quality of the music without making it sound too organized.

“It’s like an organized disorder,” he said. “When you’re just a touch off, that’s how the flavor is made, so I think the live band adds that seasoning.”

2bers had its CD release party for its album “Dig” two weeks ago at the El Rey Theatre. Collin said although the sound has changed throughout the years, there is still substance to the lyrics.

“We almost want it to be emotive and powerful, more like the song-

Hip-Hop

writing of rock ‘n roll in the ‘60s — something powerful, something political, emotional — and that’s our ideology,” he said.

Page said what sets the group apart is that it not only expresses observations and perspectives of the world, but also provides an explanation in the lyrics.

“People will bitch and complain but they won’t have an educated outlook on it,” he said. “The 2bers, when they do present their songs, they’ll give examples … When people give a reason behind the situation, it kind of makes it easy to embrace and also gets the audience listening and thinking.”

from the soul, instead of trying to meet the industry standard.

“To me, it’s like a throwback to the ‘90s, which some consider the golden age or era of hip-hop,” he said. “Every artist had their own unique identity, their own persona, their own sound; everyone was trying to break ground and being original was the underlying motive of doing hip-hop — as opposed to now.”

Collin Troy, one of two MCs for the 2bers music group, said he got into hip-hop around the time gangster rap was becoming popular.

“When I first got turned on to hiphop as a kid in the early ‘90s, I was ashamed. I’d hide it from people — my friends, my family — because I didn’t want to be called a ‘wigger’ and I didn’t want people to think differently about me,” he said. “And I’m serious; I was insecure about it even though I liked it and I really identified with it.”

UNM student and MC Isaac “Sexual Intellectual” Flowerday said the music became whatever the artist needed it to be because there are no rules to define it.

“People will come up to me and try to tell me, ‘This isn’t real hip-hop. This is this, that is that,’ but I’ll talk to people 40 years old, people who were young when hip-hop was starting up, and we just bond and just vibe on it … it’s whatever you want it to be,” he said.

Hakim Bellamy is Albuquerque’s first poet laureate and one of two MCs that make up Urban Verbs, a local rap group. The music is not just

unique in the kind of sound people create, he said.

“Being an autobiographical art form, it’s as unique as the individual that’s writing it,” he said. “Everybody talks about where they’re from to a certain extent, but I think New Mexico has the benefit of not being kind of a city with this long history of hip-hop. I think Albuquerque’s hiphop is one of originality. It’s about being different. We have a clean slate and we can kind of create our own way, which makes a really unique, individual style of music.”

Despite the fact that anybody can be part of the general hip-hop culture, it’s not as easy as listening to Ludacris on the radio, Bellamy said. The culture in Albuquerque is almost intentionally exclusive, he said. This makes it difficult for the artists to be financially successful.

“You can only sell so many records to your family and friends,” he said.

But he said it preserves the culture here by challenging people who want to be a part of it.

“You don’t know until you’ve gone to an event or a block party where you see people dancing, you see people painting, you see people laughing, see them doing HIV/AIDS tests there, see them passing out condoms there, see them cooking out, see kids my son’s age — he’s 4 — all the way up to people who are 70 at Breaking Hearts. Now you’re seeing a community, not just something you can buy on a CD in a store,” he said.

Eclectic energy charges graduates’ exhibition

by Nicole Perez

nicole11@unm.edu

Stereotypical American imagery such as a couple kissing under a rainbow combines with metaphors of sexual orgasm such as exploding fireworks in graduate student Jamie Kovach’s art.

Two of Kovach’s paintings were selected out of more than 100 UNM graduate art submissions for the 18th annual Juried Graduate Exhibition, curated by David Pagel, an art critic from Los Angeles. The exhibit of 17 pieces is in the UNM Art Museum and includes ceramics, mixed media, paintings, lithographs, video projection, photography and sculpture.

Kovach said her paintings were inspired by paint-by-number projects sold in the ‘50s, and she said she aims for a coloring-book style.

“There’s the very phallic Eiffel tower and then there’s the female reproductive system roller coaster and there’s rocket ships exploding and volcanoes and all that good stuff,” she said. “But a lot of it is because I really am drawn to that imagery, and I paint it because I want to feel like it’s OK to love really tacky things.”

Pagel was invited by the Graduate Art Association, of which Kovach is the vice president. In selecting

pieces to include in the exhibition, he said he looked for those with a strong sense of individuality that spoke for themselves.

“I wanted something that I hadn’t seen before, that was sufficiently developed to go beyond itself,” he said.

“I didn’t want something that was perfectly resolved, perfect masterpieces, but I wanted to show someone with enough of a focus to be building something of their own.”

One of the pieces is an entire workspace scene, every part of it made with a felt-like cloth. A cloth sewing machine sits on the cloth coffee-stained table and a cloth package of chicken flavored ramen lies crumpled in the cloth trash can on top of cloth lined paper. Another piece emits low whale recordings from the ends of two copper-engraved logs.

Graduate artist Stephanie Brunia, whose photograph of a scarred man’s torso was selected for the show, said the criteria for judging depend on the juror, and she said this year’s show is very eclectic.

“I know some people who get in every year and some who don’t get in at all,” she said. “It just is what strikes the fancy of whoever is judging. I really like the show because everything seems so disparate, yet it somehow makes sense together in its disparity.”

Pagel said juried art shows are

Courtesy Photo UNM graduate student Jamie Kovach’s painting “Willy’s World” was one of 17 pieces selected for the 18th annual Juried Graduate Exhibition: “Reasons, Excuses, Alibis & Non Sequiturs.” Kovach says she was inspired by paint-by-numbers kits, and the painting combines typical Americana images with themes of sexual orgasm. uncommon at universities, and he said it requires the artists to take risks.

“They throw themselves into a bucket, and someone comes and picks a few of them out, and every year they willingly do it,” he said. “I think there’s something more daring about this, in the hopes that something interesting comes out of it.”

Pagel said choosing curators from outside UNM was important to the project’s success because many teachers struggle to make unbiased decisions about their students’ work. He said the students were absent when he toured the studios

examining pieces.

Often in art departments “the faculty gets close with the students and it’s awkward,” he said. “I teach in a graduate art program and I would never choose a handful of my artists and skip other ones for a show.”

Pagel said UNM’s art programs are well developed and are at a similar level to others across the country.

“To me, the level is really comparable in terms of seriousness, focus, commitment, dedication, experience, talent. The programs are at a pretty high level,” he said.

Experimental films offer a nuanced view of reality

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

The cinematic stars Americans love to chase and idolize are intended to represent reality; however, the reality is that there are many exceptions to that standard, said Bryan Konefsky, artistic director of Experiments in Cinema.

Basement Films and the Department of Cinematic Arts put on Experiments in Cinema, an experimental film festival, every year. Konefsky said in the early ‘90s, people were touring their experimental films, but that waned about 10 years ago. At that time, he said Gov. Bill Richardson was fostering the Hollywood film industry in New Mexico, which narrowed down the perspectives being portrayed in films.

“The conversation around what a film is started to get sort of anemic,” he said. “We thought if we initiate a festival, that might open up that dialogue a little bit, add a different kind of voice.”

To engage the audience in discussion, there is a formal questionand-answer session after each showing and an informal reception after that, he said. Additionally, there are workshops and talks throughout the festival about alternative filmmaking methods, such as different ways of exposing film for visual effects and putting plant life directly onto film and pressing it.

Konefsky said cinema is a mirror of

the human experience. Because mega stars are acting out unrealistic stories, the general audience becomes conditioned to think this is what is expected of them, that this is reality. Experimental films are more nuanced, capturing a broad range of experiences as unique as the people making them, he said.

“We look to these characters and believe in them, but falsely, because Brad Pitt is not me, Angelina Jolie is not you — who cares about these people?

But when you have these individuals who are us telling their personal stories, and we can relate to it and there is that mirroring, it’s a much more real kind of experience, and I think you can relate to these films really much better, even though we’ve been socialized into thinking we’re all the same as Brad Pitt and such.”

This has classically been the case with women’s portrayal in films, said Michelle Mellor, a six-year volunteer for the festival who double majors in cinematic arts and theater arts at UNM. “The representation of women in narrative films, usually Hollywood and also the media, is really poor and harmful,” she said. “A lot of female characters are not even developed: they’re just objects of desire, they’re to be looked at, maybe they have a few lines.”

Konefsky said about 50 percent of the films at the festival are female-

produced. Because the festival doesn’t rely on corporate funding, the content is more personal to the filmmakers and the selection is much broader than the sliver of content people can see in movie theaters, he said. Conversely, experimental filmmakers know there is very little chance of making a living off their work, he said.

“You don’t have boardrooms of marketing execs asking, ‘What’s going to sell best at the Cineplex?’ and then sort of bringing everything down to this lowest common denominator,” he said. Experimental films are “films that take a chance, and the chance that they take is, ‘I want to tell my story from my perspective and that’s it, no apologies,’ not trying to necessarily reach a large audience.”

Konefsky said experimental films are not accepted in mainstream media because the people in charge of the industry have a vested interest in keeping the status quo, while art should always be questioning power and social and cultural norms.

“I think it’s art’s goal, art’s mission to raise questions and to challenge us to think about ourselves in different ways. I think that is a scary concept because it means that we are actually thinking,” he said. “Thinking human beings are dangerous because they’ll question power structures,” he said.

It’s difficult for Americans in particular to challenge these structures,

Konefsky said, because they’ve been so constrained and dumbed down that the possibility of imagining the world in a different way does not occur to them. Experiments in Cinema is an opportunity for the general public to get a taste of what’s possible, he said.

“If you’re not given the opportunity to imagine, if the idea of imagination is not even in your reality, then how do you even consider that concept,” he said. “But given the opportunity … I find that people rise to the occasion in a heartbeat and really love the challenge.”
