Arbitrator sides with UNM on Pit alcohol

Roybal’s slate, Now, swept every seat in the election.

Roybal elected president On ballot, students vote down funding new student recreation center

by Shaun Griswold and Hunter Riley news@dailylobo.com

Jaymie Roybal is the ASUNM president for the 2011-12 school year.

Roybal, who ran on the Now slate, received 883 votes in the Wednesday’s election, 62 more than her opponent, Tim Mousseau, who ran on the New Day slate. The Now slate swept the election, taking all 10 Senate seats and the vice president and president positions.

“My heart has been in this since October. I can’t describe it,” Roybal said. “I’m so excited. I can tell you that the best 12 candidates were elected. I’m so proud of this slate — over 13 semesters of ASUNM experience combined between the 12 of us.”

In total, 1,858 votes were cast, but some undergraduates abstained from voting in the presidential election. Also, 67 percent of students voted “no” on Amendment 2, which gauged support for a morethan-$100 per semester student fee increase toward a recreation center, Sunny Liu, one of the senators on the Now slate, said he wants to work with New Day slate members to try and incorporate their platforms and ideas into student government.

“I know they will be around, and most of them are actually our friends,” Liu said. “It’s great to know we had a great campaign against each other, but in the end we know that we all, prior to the elections, were really close and were in direct contact with each other on a daily basis.”

Beer and wine might be available for some fans attending UNM football and basketball games next season.

A court arbitrator ruled that the Albuquerque City Council improperly denied UNM’s request for a waiver of state law that bans alcohol sales within 300 feet of a school. The council’s decision prevented alcohol sales to club-level fans at UNM athletic events.

The city and UNM later agreed to binding arbitration regarding the City Council’s decision to deny UNM’s liquor license applications, UNM spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said.

“The University is pleased to have resolved this issue amicably with the city,” she said in statement.

The city is looking into whether it can appeal the decision and will find out later this week.

UNM needed the waiver to process its liquor license request with the state’s Regulation and Licensing Department.

The state will now decide whether the University can sell alcohol at The Pit and University Stadium to fans in club-level suites only. UNM dropped its request to serve alcohol at special events in the Student Union Building, McKinsey said.

In November, the City Council voted 6-3 to deny UNM’s waiver request. Councilors cited public safety

concerns, the need for more officers to patrol surrounding areas after games and unfair treatment toward certain fans as reasons for denying the request.

Court arbitrator William Lang ruled the city’s decision was inconsistent because alcohol is served at Isotopes Park during UNM baseball games. The ballpark is across the street from UNM’s two major sports venues.

“The city had no competent evidence from which it might reasonably conclude that the (University) did not meet its burden in establishing solid grounds for the waiver,” the ruling states.

Council President Ken Sanchez voted in November to turn down UNM’s liquor license bid. He said that he was dissappointed that the city attorney did not notify the council that the issue went to arbitration.

“I think it’s an issue of discrimination,” he said. “Why should elite and those who can afford an upper-box suite ... be served alcohol when somebody who is paying $17 for a ticket will not be able, too?”

Council member Brad Winter supported UNM’s request, and he said the city’s administration should not make the final decision to appeal the decision. He said the City Council should take the measure up again.

For the first time at UNM, two American Studies graduate students were awarded prestigious Ford Foundation predoctoral fellowships.

Gina Diaz and Melanie Yazzi are two of nearly 40 fellowship winners nationwide.

American Studies Department Chair Alex Lubin said it is a big accomplishment for the department and UNM. “It’s evidence of UNM’s ability to recruit the best graduate students in the nation and our ability to mentor students so they’re competitive in national competitions,” he said. “I also think it’s evidence of the level of support that our department and the University can give minority graduate students in particular.”

The three-year fellowships pay $20,000 annually plus tuition support and provides the opportunity to attend the Conference of Ford Fellows, Lubin said.

Diaz and Yazzie entered the American Studies Ph.D. program

in 2009. Diaz worked at the National Hispanic Cultural Center as a curator. There, she got the idea for her doctoral dissertation that the fellowship will fund, Lubin said.

“She has been very interested in studying the politics of museum display, especially from the perspective of Chicana feminist work,” he said. “That’s what she’s proposing to do her research on, in particular what it means when especially queer Chicana feminists display their work in museums.”

Yazzie has a master’s degree in American studies from Yale.

“She came here from Yale, and she’s doing work on Navajo cultural politics and looking at the ways Navajo culture participates in decolonization,” Lubin said.

Students who apply for the fellowship are evaluated by a panel of nationally recognized scholars and judged on more than academics.

Students must demonstrate academic achievement, be committed to teaching and research careers

Listen. That’s the sound of reality sneaking up on you Editor, I hope that after reading this, your day is no less bright or cheery: • It was 366 days ago that the world’s worst environmental accident began. It dumped more than 4 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP has gone unprosecuted for human deaths associated with the corporation’s illegal use of the chemical dispersant Corexin and has hired a team of lawyers and lobbyists to reduce the estimated “number of gallons” dumped by more than 50 percent.

• More than 10,000 Libyans have died since February’s onset of anti-government revolutions.

• Bradley Manning, the hero responsible for Wikileaks’ release of American diplomatic cables, has spent 23 of 24 hours in solitary confinement for the last seven months (and counting) and has been forced to stand naked in front of other inmates.

• The amount of government and private student loans (more than $830 billion) now exceeds the American consumer balance on credit cards ($827 billion).

• If you had $1 in your pocket, you would have more money than the combined federal income tax paid last year by Citigroup, Bank of America, Exxon Mobil and General Electric (the world’s largest corporation).

• The U.S. is $14 trillion in debt, with China being the largest foreign holder of this debt. The International Monetary Fund estimates the U.S. economy will grow by 3.8 percent, as opposed to China’s estimated 9.3 percent.

• For one of its every 100 freedom-lovers, the U.S. has the highest documented percentage of incarcerated citizens of any country in the world. In the last 30 years, the number of inmates kept in prisons that are privatized (i.e., function as businesses) surged more than 4,000 percent. Arizona SB 1070 was drafted by these corporations’ lobbyists.

• The U.S. has been in a continual state of emergency since the Sept. 11 attacks — almost 10 years. The government’s execution, framing, and cover-up of attacks against its citizens opened the door for Bush’s “War on Terror” and left millions of TV-watching Americans blind and unaware of their leaders’ injustices.

Column

Get your head out of the game

by Geoffrey Snider

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist When returning to school as a full-time student, I thought, “How will I ever survive taking 16 credit hours in an eight-week semester?”

I was headstrong and had newfound pride in my abilities — something I had rarely experienced in the past — so I packed as many credit hours as possible into my schedule. A solid round of funding from a writing scholarship put me back in the game. Could I achieve a decent GPA with such a heavy course load?

“At community college,” I remembered, “it’s a distinct possibility.”

As I finalized my class schedule, it occurred to me that a double course load might be too difficult.

Immediately my mind created a catastrophic scenario. I still had a part-time job, a social life, an apartment to take care of, and, of course, there was my busy gaming sched-

ule. If I got out of my sociology class before 8 p.m. on Mondays, I was able to make it to the weekly Warhammer gaming night. If we finished at a decent time, I could make it home for a midnight War of Worldcraft raid. Twenty-hour days like that were exhausting.

After work, classes and gaming, there was little time for rest because I still needed to finish a paper, some assigned reading, or some other pressing project. That was just the beginning of the week, the rest of which often turned out to be even less forgiving.

Fortunately, I had plenty of energy and the willpower to push myself through a rough semester.

My time at UNM has been drastically different.

These days I’m the guy who’s well-rested and bright-eyed in my 9 a.m. class. Everyone else seems to have that glazed-over look — you know, that look that makes me think they polished off a fifth the evening before heading home to read a hundred pages of Descartes.

Finally drowning their exhaustion in a throatburning quadruple-shot Americano, they barely escaped passing out on the south Lot bus before trudging over to Dane Smith Hall.

How did I make the transition from hopelessly sleep-deprived gamer zombie to “real student?”

Somewhere along the line, I became so fatigued that I suffered a stress injury that almost forced me to drop out of school.

During my recovery I made the decision to put my physical well-being ahead of my gaming priorities (which basically means that I chose sleep instead of gaming). You would think that this sort of decision is a no-brainer, but for many gamers it’s difficult to put away the gamer crack long enough to pick up a book.

Discipline, my friends, is the key. I am am a far, far less exciting person than the one I was a couple years ago. But I have a healthy lifestyle and good grades, which make all the boring nights worthwhile.

I sympathize with UNM faculty member James Burbank, whose letter criticizing the funding of a proposed recreational facility appeared in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo.

Vocal students seem to agree with his concerns as well. After all, in an environment of budget crisis where academic funding is cut and tuition is raised, it seems questionable to propose a $100 increase in student fees to finance a “jock monument” of all things.

UNM is a university, and its purpose is to educate.

However, to thousands of us who live on campus, UNM is also our home. We expect the University to provide us with the things we need, and it, in turn, has a strong obligation to do just that. In my opinion, UNM does a poor job of providing its students with a healthy environment.

Dietary options provided at all of Chartwells’ various establishments are narrow.

While many fatty and sugary foods are readily available, outside of La Posada’s relatively small salad bar, healthy eating is hardly an option.

Still, residents are required to purchase a meal plan. In addition, Johnson Center, UNM’s recreational facility, is constantly overcrowded. Physical

education classes tend to use most of the available space during the day, and in the evening students swarm. I often use south gym, an area of Johnson with basketball and volleyball courts. On some nights, volleyball, basketball, badminton, fencing and ballroom dancing are all competing for the same area. Hopeful students will show up and be forced to leave for lack of space.

I’ll qualify this be saying that most nights it’s not quite that bad. However, in general, Johnson’s facilities seem overburdened by the amount of users.

I take issue with Burbank’s characterization of the proposed center as a “jock monument.” Besides stereotyping supporters, it attempts to write off serious discussion as out of the question. Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and a healthy lifestyle, beside improving quality of life, has been shown to improve cognitive function.

If this is accepted, then a University ought to concern itself with student health for a multitude of reasons.

I am not arguing that the proposal is necessarily a good idea.

Can we afford to raise student fees for this while simultaneously letting our academic departments slip? I’m not sure, but while the cons have been reiterated over and over again, I don’t feel that the merits have been fairly represented.

I’m not ashamed to say that I voted in favor.

Why does archbishop think love is sinful, but not war?

Editor, Archbishop Michael Sheehan says all Roman Catholics having sex outside of heterosexual marriage officially performed by priests are living in mortal sin and should not take communion, as reported in the Albuquerque Journal on April 6.

However, Archbishop Sheehan does not say Sandia and Los Alamos nuclear weapons scientists, war contractors, soldiers, war taxpayers, boxers, boxing fans or war-supporting politicians should not take communion!

Sadly, Archbishop Sheehan, like many religious leaders, is far more at home with violence and war than he is with mutually affectionate, passionate sex outside of heterosexual marriage.

Tragically, most church parents would rather have their son beat and bruise a man in the boxing ring or kill a man in war than for their son to be in love and make love with a man!

As a former Christian preacher, now a humble agnostic, and as a gay conscientious objector to all war and as a war tax refuser for 32 years so far, I strongly reject such grossly immoral madness poisoning much of religion.

VP enrollment lands job in Cleveland

by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu

Carmen Alvarez-Brown is leaving the University to accept a vice president position at Cleveland State University.

Brown begins her employment July 1, Cleveland State announced in a news release Wednesday.

“Carmen is a proven leader with the expertise to promote student success at CSU,” Cleveland State President Ronald Berkman said.

Brown did not respond to an email and calls Wednesday.

Brown has served as VP for enrollment management since April 2008. She oversaw admissions, financial aid and registration, recruitment and other University functions.

UNM’s enrollment went up during Brown’s tenure, but in late January a former employee sent a letter to the Daily Lobo, blasting Brown for her aggressive enrollment tactics. This prompted another employee to write into the paper supporting Brown, and the two letters generated more than 50 online comments.

Brown said in a Feb. 23 e-mail that she was aware of employee discontent.

“I have been aware that there were some employees that were not happy with some of the changes that we needed to make in an effort to become more efficient and effective in delivering our services to students,” she said. “When I read comments that seem ill intended, especially by individuals that are not willing to have an open exchange, I personally give little or no credibility to the source.”

Brown said UNM hired her to improve its enrollment services, which she did by making changes to its location, staffing and operations. She established One-Stop services and the National American Indian Scholars program.

Brown has not announced her departure from the University, and UNM spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said she heard the news from CSU’s release.

“I’m sure she has notified the provost and the president,” she said.

The Provost’s Office did not confirm whether Brown notified it about her departure.

throughout the SUB to wait for the election results to be counted. The New Day slate candidates sat in the bottom level where the announcement was made.

The Now slate candidates and ASUNM President Laz Cardenas waited for the results on the third floor of the SUB. Roybal did not wait for the election results in the SUB atrium with the other slate.

“We didn’t want anything to go down sour, and she really wanted to be respectful in the sense that she wanted to be away from the situation so that nothing bad would come from it,” Liu said. “As a slate, we decided that if our president doesn’t want to be present at the announcement due to personal issues and emotional issues that we would all follow as one cohesive team.”

Cardenas endorsed the Now slate last week, but Roybal said the ASUNM president’s endorsement doesn’t hold as much weight as the student endorsements.

“Every candidate on our slate had more than 18 endorsements,” she said. “We were up at 5 a.m. We were campaigning before the polls opened,

Beer

New Mexico Daily Lobo and we were up until the last polls closed.”

ASUNM Vice President Joseph Colbert said he did not endorse either slate because he felt it created an unfair advantage.

“I also think it was wrong that the previous president was out campaigning,” Colbert said. “He’s the face of ASUNM, and he’s out there trying to pull votes for the next person that’s going to come in. I don’t think that’s right.

There are no rules against it, but I still think it’s wrong.”

Adrian Cortinas, who ran unopposed for the Now slate, won the vice president spot with 1,471 votes.

“We came with a tactic to advocate for the team as a whole, and I think that’s why we all won,” Cortinas said.

“I’m very humbled.”

Mousseau said he was disappointed by the results, but that he would keep working with students and student organizations to advocate for UNM undergraduates.

“We have done a lot for this campus, and we will keep being leaders on campus and keep giving back to the

students,” Mousseau said. “This is one moment in our life, and we are not happy with it, but that’s OK. It’s just a moment. We have a lot more of life ahead of us. We move on.”

Club-level suites account for about 10 percent of the stadium’s seating capacity, said Tim Cass, associate athletics director. UNM ignored councilors’ request to extend alcohol service to all patrons in club level and box suites at The Pit and University Stadium.

Beer taps, which were installed at various club-level locations, could be activated next season.

Winter said selling alcohol will help the University make money.

“It can help pay off the bond debt,” he said. “If you get private dollars to help pay a public debt, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

To the contrary, Sanchez said, it is a problem.

“I just think its the wrong thing to be serving alcohol at a collegiate event where you’ve got 14,500 fans at The Pit for a basketball game, and if the football team starts winning again, 30,000 fans at football games,” he said. “I just don’t think its necessary.”

UNM Faculty Senate president Richard Wood said Diaz and Yazzie should be proud.

When you serve alcohol at Isotopes Park, what safety issues are there that are any different than at The Pit?” McKinsey said UNM would coordinate efforts with city police to ensure fans leave games safely, but concluded DWIs might not be an issue because only a small number of people could receive alcohol service.

JUGGLE JUNKIES Die-hard members infuse old club with new energy

Left to right: Wesley McHaley, Agatha Wetherbie and Bob Liberatore perform different types of juggling at Smith Plaza. Liberatore is the president of the UNM juggling club.

by Nicole Perez

nicole11@unm.edu The sound of balls thudding against rough stone tiles echoes across Smith Plaza.

Two people are juggling in front of skateboarders. The skateboarders talk about how they can’t juggle, and Bob Liberatore, one of the jugglers, offers to teach them.

“Come on. I can teach anybody to juggle!” he said.

The skaters declined and rode off, but Liberatore kept juggling.

“I’ll just harass them later,” he said.

The two jugglers are part of the UNM juggling club, a group that meets every Friday at 7 p.m. in front of Zimmerman Library. The sun may set, but the lack of light doesn’t deter them — they just move inside the SUB when it’s too dark.

Liberatore, the club’s president, said he encourages everyone to check it out regardless of whether they have juggling experience.

The club has existed since the early 90s in various incarnations, but Liberatore said he recently rechartered the club because the paperwork lapsed.

The club attracts people for several reasons. Some look for a place to juggle, and others stumble upon it accidentally.

That’s what member Scott Mellos did.

“I was headed to go play pool in the SUB, and I came across the club, and I never made it to the pool hall,” he said. “I’ve wanted to check it out, but every time I’m in the SUB I’m like, ‘I want to juggle.’”

“It’s really interesting the things you accidentally figure out through just teaching somebody.”

“Nobody was doing the paperwork, so I decided to do it and make myself president,” he said.

“I sort of staged a coup. Jugglers tend to be flaky people.”

Liberatore said he was first drawn to the club because it had a more serious attitude toward the art of juggling.

“I’ve always been a technique nut whereas most fire spinners are like, ‘Whee fire!’ and don’t really care,” he said. “So it was cool to meet people who were also interested in what I did.”

~Bob Liberatore Juggling Club President He said the University won’t permit him to juggle fire on campus, so that takes place on his own time.

The club doesn’t just practice standard forms of ball-and-club juggling. It also encourages nontraditional types such as the art of poi, where a ball with a piece of string is attach to the performer’s hand and swung in large arcs.

Contact juggling is another rare form: A long staff, with the capacity to be lit on fire on each end, is rolled across the juggler’s shoulders, torso and arms.

UNM JUGGLING CLUB Smith Plaza Fridays, 7 p.m.

The club is diverse in makeup.

It includes high school students and graduate students, but Scott said they all have common reasons for being there.

“The reason I go is because I get stressed out from school or work Monday-Friday, and I go just to relax, be in a big group of people, and have a good time,” he said.

“It’s more to unwind, and instead of watching TV, get a little active.”

The sense of calm is apparent on the jugglers’ faces as the balls rhythmically fall into their outstretched hands.

The concentration they exert isn’t forced — it is a

Dylan Smith / Daily Lobo product of the club’s laid-back atmosphere. Liberatore’s words of encouragement float across Smith Plaza as the colored balls fall to the ground and are retrieved.

Liberatore said that friendships are enriched by the teaching and learning the club promotes.

“I learn a lot from people who are better than me. I learn a lot from people who are beginners,” he said. “It’s really interesting the things you accidentally figure out through just teaching somebody. I love it. This is my breath of fresh air during the week.”

Club members don’t seem to mind that the meetings are held Friday nights. Most of them continue juggling until the cleaning crew kicks them out of the SUB at midnight.

“We still get a decent turnout, and in that respect, it’s kind of cool because then only the people who really want to do it show up,” Liberatore said. “The people who really appreciate what the club offers come regularly. I think that’s the way it should work.”

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

TEACH ME HOW JUGGLE, TEACH ME TEACH ME HOW TO JUGGLE While you may be intimidated by the thought of juggling, it’s right within your grasp. Literally. Here are a few basic steps to get you on your way to a basic threeball cascade: 1) Start with one ball in your dominant hand, and gently toss it in an arc to the other hand. The arc should not be higher than your head.

2) Then practice the same motion with the ball in your non-dominant hand.

3) Take a ball in each hand, and repeat step one with the ball in your dominant hand. When the ball is past the highest point of its arc, toss the ball in your non-dominant hand with the same motion. Catch the first thrown ball in your non-dominant hand and catch the second thrown ball in your dominant hand.

Practice this motion until you are comfortable with it.

4) Hold two balls in your dominant hand and one in your non-dominant hand. Repeat the motions explained in step two.

award every year since 2003.

“It’s very uncommon, so it’s something really great about our program,” she said.

It’s also rare for a dramatic writing program to offer graduates a full production of their plays, Escobar said. But she said theater is a collaborative art, and it’s essential to learn production because it’s a professional playwright’s job.

“For a writer to move into this new phase of theater where selfproduction is really the way to go, it’s not just us sitting over a screen and typing out words and giving it off to the world,” she said.

Second-year students’ plays are workshopped and rehearsed over the week. Students rewrite their screenplay before, during and after rehearsal, and a director helps them edit. Actors will read the final script to the audience.

This year there are three full productions, Escobar’s “The Ruin,”

Sachdeva’s “La Fea: A FlamenChoreoMyth” and Nic Wehrwein’s “Back Home.”

Chavez’s play “The Story of Caballos Muertos” will be a workshop reading and is free to students. All performances are free for graduate students.

Tlaloc Rivas, director of “Caballos Muertos,” said the festival allows writers to expose their work to theaters, agents and professionals in the business.

“You really want a festival like this to launch them in a way, to launch their work and their voices,” he said. “The festival itself is building sort of a national profile.

We may not realize it, but people know about the festival.”

Wehrwein said being a part of the production process helped him detach from his work, something professional playwrights must do when a director takes over.

“I think there’s more surrender in this, at least for me,” he said.

“You kind of have to step back and go, ‘This is out of my hands now.’”

Escobar said disengaging from her work is difficult, but it’s clear that collaborators are motivated to create the best possible production.

“It’s really showing us a piece of the real world, pairing us up with somebody who does this as a job, because we don’t want to go out there thinking that what we do is not a job,” she said.

Generally, it’s best to avoid fire, but the UNM’s Words Afire Festival is encouraging its audience to feel the burn.

The festival pairs dramatic writing graduate students with internationally renowned directors who transform the students’ screenplays into lively, full-blown productions.

Director Elaine Avila said she brings directors who have national or international reputations because they are bridges for students into professional theater networks.

“I wanted them to find … their tribe of people they are going to work with in their careers,” she said.

This year, three of the four playwrights won awards at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Georgina Escobar won the Theatre for Young Audiences Playwriting Award; Riti Sachdeva won the Quest for Peace Playwriting Award; and Law Chavez won the Latino Playwriting Award.

Avila said the program imports diverse writers and engages them in a rigorous writing and rewriting process. She said the program’s writers have won a major national

Women raise funds to promote science

by Juanita Martinez jmart20@unm.edu

Engineering is not just a man’s game, but the trick is making sure women know that.

The UNM chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is looking to make that known by holding a live auction where people can bid on their favorite engineering student and “geeks” from other majors. Winning bidders earn a picnic date at the Duck Pond after the event.

Amy Wang, a two-year member of SWE and “Geek Chic” auctionee, said SWE’s mission is to combat the belief that the science and math fields are for only men.

“We as women are the minority in math, science and engineering fields,” she said. “We want to break that stereotype of ‘It’s a man’s job to be an engineer or scientist,’ and we want to inspire the younger generation of females so they would also want to be in science and engineering.”

Committee Chair Debbie Nguyen said that Geek Chic is the organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

In addition to promoting

awareness about women in science, technology, engineering and math fields on campus, SWE also does outreach with middle school girls to encourage them to pursue careers in scientific and technologic fields.

Proceeds will fund activities such as interactive “Explora nights” for groups including the Girl Scouts of America.

SWE also helps members network with industry professionals by holding annual regional conferences, which Nguyen said helped many UNM SWE members find a job after graduation.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to go to three national conferences where they hold some of the largest career fairs in the nation, and that’s where I got my internship at Sandia Labs,” she said.

“Without that internship, I wouldn’t be going to MIT in the fall.”

Coachella worth sweat and burns

by Zach Gould

zgould@unm.edu Dehydration and a sunburn cost me about $300.

I can say it was worth it.

This year, 90,000 people attended Coachella, one of the America’s larger music festivals. Taking place in Indio, Calif., it was three days of psychotic amounts of sun, music, and for many attendees, drugs.

It was hysterical and terrifying to watch.

One woman outside one of the electronica tents passed out, and her friend was upset about it. The upset woman’s boyfriend tried to console her and rub her back, but he was obviously on ecstasy. He then started jamming to the music.

So the scene was composed of two paramedics, an unconscious woman, a crying woman and some dude rolling.

Like I said, it was hysterical and terrifying to watch.

The Coachella festival sprawled over huge polo fields with giant, elaborate tents and stages intermixed with psychedelic sculptures that pulse with light to music.

There was even a big Tesla coil in the middle of the venue that fired at random intervals, literally adding electricity to the air. The Tesla coils are a kinetic sculpture by Syd Klinge and featured the world’s most powerful twin coils.

At night, almost everything lit up with multi-colored lights and strobes.

The festival projects big, arched beams of light over the polo fields that connect at the center, creating an impossibly large dome.

The festival was trendy, and celebrities and rich kids from Palm Springs and Los Angeles showed up in droves wearing $500 bohemian shorts.

It created a weird divide between the rich movie stars and look-alikes and all the normies, like myself.

For Burque kids, it was a long drive, but it made sense for out-of-towners to camp. It only cost $50 for a 10x30-foot space that includes your car.

But the four-hour wait for camping was almost unbearable. It was four hours of everyone blasting music and getting sloppy drunk while waiting to have their car, person and bags searched. It was like a giant migrating tailgate party.

Finally, I got a camping spot at about 6 a.m., but it’s was hard to sleep because the sun popped up at about 6:30 a.m. And that’s when the giant interconnected polo fields that housed the Coachella festival and its camping area heated up like a pissed-off demon in hell.

In the morning, you woke up drenched in sweat, so the first thing showering was in order.

The showers were free, but crowded. I went at night after the shows and never waited. Plus, I didn’t get instantly sweaty again because it was cool at night. The concerts from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. featured less popular, more experimental music. But a lot of the time, it was some of the coolest music.

The first day, I lay in some shade and discovered an awesome electronica musician, Brandt Brauer Frick. The artist plays classical instruments and then distorts the sound. The live show sounded like electronica, but it was played with instruments.

After the weird, awesome bands left the stage, Animal Collective, Kanye West, Arcade Fire and all the heavy hitters played. These concerts usually had the highest production value, but the heat was killer.

Any concert before 3 p.m. had to have breaks every 30 minutes so we could run over to the Do Lab, a giant dub-step tent in the middle of the festival. It was always home to some lowlevel DJ and about three women in scandalous outfits spraying the crowd with hoses.

The catch was that people had to dance to get sprayed. It created an intense, cathartic experience.

After braving the day’s heat, I saw the gorgeous sunset on the backs of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The heat exposure made me feel like I was drugged and on a bizarre, unreal trip.

Then a shirtless guy with charred skin ran past me with blinking strobe lights. Then I realized I was among friends and some of the most normal people in the world.

I then noticed a storm-like gathering of thousands of sun-burnt people with blinking strobe lights.

Out of the corner of my ear, I heard the most kick-ass sound. It was the Black Keys, or Chromeo. Burnt to a crisp and with sore feet, I felt the beat in my chest again. And I danced.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

The world is completely screwed.

Human beings are, basically, a parasite on the face of the planet.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re chewing through every reserve of natural resources in existence at a more-than-breakneck pace, meaning that our grandchildren will be lucky if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything more left than a desolate rock.

All of which is to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Earth Day! (Tomorrow!)â&#x20AC;?

The holiday, which began in 1970, was originally conceived as something more than a couple kindergarten classes planting some trees in a lot that will one day contain a treeless Walmart parking lot, anyway.

Earth Day is supposed to be a day where we stand up to industrial interests and demand that they stop destroying our homes.

Not convinced that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we should be doing? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a look at a short list of environmental problems, followed by the Daily Loboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official recommendation of what to do about it.

Problems This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth Day has the dubious distinction of coming only two days after the April 20 anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon spill.

For those of you who have been watching nothing but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jersey Shoreâ&#x20AC;? reruns for the last year, or were too baked last 4/20 to realize anything out of the ordinary was going on, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review what that was, exactly.

The Deepwater Horizon was an offshore oil rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and releasing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf. The oil leak, coming from an underground oil reserve, was eventually plugged, but the damage was done.

It was the worst oil spill in the history of the planet, according to the New York Times. The spill destroyed tourism in the Gulf of Mexico and put thousands of fishermen out of work.

The health effects on the people living in the region are unmeasured, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to assume nothing good will come from it for anyone exposed to the oil.

The ecological effects are even worse.

Like the health effects of the spill, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still too early to measure the extent of the devastation, but we can sift through peripheral accounts of specific damages to draw some conclusions.

For example, National Geographic reported that scientists are seeing an unheard-of epidemic of dead dolphins washing ashore. Dolphin die-offs occur every few years, but the difference in this one, government scientists said, is that the die-off was concentrated in neonatal, or newborn, dolphins.

Worse, a recent study suggests that for every dead dolphin that washes up on the beach, 62 more die and never make it to shore.

So, yeah. Thousands of dead baby dolphins. Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really lead to the most pleasant conclusion about the ecological effects of the spill.

But, wait! Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the government save us?

Not really. Less than a month before the spill, the Guardian reported that President Obama opened 500,000 square miles of U.S. coastal waters to offshore drilling. This directly contradicted his campaign promise to not do exactly that. The federal government then failed to punish BP, the oil company that owned most of the rig, in any significant way.

The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression gave the Obama Administration and BP, jointly, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muzzle Awardâ&#x20AC;? for restricting media access to the Gulf in the wake of the spill.

Transocean, the company that managed the rig, gave bonuses to its top executives for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;best year for safetyâ&#x20AC;? ever.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the tip of the oil well, as far as environmental problems go.

The state of Utah is moving forward with plans to mine tar sands for petroleum, based on a model pioneered in Alberta, Canada. This practice is new, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very expensive way to extract petroleum, and only makes economic sense if the price of petroleum is high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going ahead with the project in Utah means gas prices are not expected to go down significantly until, well, ever.

But besides hurting your wallet, this project is another instance of humanity literally consuming the Earth.

Environmental Defence, an activist group out of Canada (note the weird spelling of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;defense,â&#x20AC;?) called the tar-sand extraction in Alberta the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most destructive project on Earth.â&#x20AC;?

The Indigenous Environmental Network called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow environmental genocide.â&#x20AC;?

As for nuclear, remember those reactors in Japan? Tokyo Electric Power Co., the company that runs them, predicts the Fukushima Daiichi reactor will be entirely cooled sometime in the next six to nine months.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note here that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least one nuclear reactor in California (the San Onofre reactor) that sits near the coast and directly on a fault line, just like the Fukushima Daiichi reactor.

To sum up: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty screwed.

What to do about it Organize!

Earth Day was founded in 1970 by former U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson.

(Think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get elected to the Senate with a name like that today?) Nelson was inspired by the student protesters he saw fighting against the Vietnam War and decided we needed a similar movement for the environment.

The first Earth Day was a huge success, boasting more than 20 million participants.

The Vietnam War parallel is an inspiring one. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the widespread activism at home, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d still be over there.

The lack of activism today is the reason weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in Iraq and Afghanistan and have now started a third war in Libya.

So take this opportunity to put down your Call of Duty: Black Ops controller. Gather up some friends. Start a protest. Shut down some intersections.

Or, even better, storm President David Schmidlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and refuse to leave until they stop watering campus grass at 2 p.m. You could remind him that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge waste of water (since it all evaporates), and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal to do in Albuquerque during the daytime, anyway.

But do something. We have too many people sitting around watching reality television instead of taking some responsibility for the world they live in. And that is precisely why the world is in such bad shape today.

What is stepping and step dance?

Stepping is a dance tradition created in the early 1900s by African American college students when the body is used as an instrument to create intricate rhythms and sounds through a combination of footsteps, claps and spoken word. Though stepping is traditionally aligned with college fraternities, the art form is spreading its wings to new venues and participants, such elementary and high schools, church and community groups and Latino, Native and Asian American Greek-letter organizations.

Sponsored by the UNM Student Activities Center, UNM Multicultural Greek Council and ASUNM Student Special Events. For more information call 277-4706.

Workshop Instructor: Jason Nious

Jason is a UNM Graduate (2001, Theater) who has toured internationally with Step Afrika, Stomp Out Loud and his own dance company Molodi. He has also appeared in several movies including Stomp the Yard 2 and Dying To Tell You. This summer he joins the cast of Cirque du Soleil’s new production Zarkana which will debut in New York at Radio City Music Hall.
