Panelists talk student debt

Students face a tough decision when taking on debt to get a college degree that may not land them a job. According to a report issued in January by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, the unemployment rate of recent bachelor’s degree recipients is 8.9 percent. But compared to a 22.9 percent unemployment rate for recent high school graduates and 31.5 percent rate for recent high school dropouts, going to college still offers a leg up in the job market. During a panel discussion sponsored by the UNM University Council on Academic Priorities, panelists said students at UNM are over-burdened by student loan debt. U.S. Senate candidate and former Republican Rep. Heather Wilson participated in the discussion with University officials Tuesday in an effort to address the costs of higher education and increase the accessibility of education at UNM. UNM Provost Chaouki Abdallah said the University is not student-friendly. He said UNM focuses on research, but needs to focus on educating students and ensuring that the education provided at UNM prepares students for employment. “For the first time in many, many, many years, more than 50 percent of students cannot find jobs

A swarm of miller moths (that’s miller, not killer) invaded Albuquerque this week after army cutworm cocoons in the bosque and surrounding areas hatched. Albuquerque resident Renee Saavedra said she thought she was in a horror movie after she opened the shed on her property. “I needed to get a shovel for some spring gardening and so I went to my shed that I haven’t opened in a long time and when I opened the door, probably 50 moths went

everywhere,” she said. “I’m not normally the type to be scared of bugs, but it was totally freaky. Take that combined with the fact that the manure I had been storing in the shed got wet and smelled like a dead body, and I think anyone can understand my fear.” But residents need not fear their flying friends. According to the Butterflies and Moths of North America website, moths are members of the butterfly family and are harmless to humans. Moths migrate to cooler temperatures annually, and should leave the Albuquerque area in two to three
weeks. According to an article published by Colorado State University, during this migratory period the moths will not eat. Residents should not be worried holes in their clothing because miller moths do not eat fabric, although they can leave stains. The article recommends closing screens and reducing light in and around your house at night to avoid attracting moths to areas where they could potentially enter the home. Bug zappers can also be used to kill moths around your house, or a bowl of soapy water near a light source can trap and kill unwanted moths.

Director of the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program Kim Eichhorst said this year’s increased moth population was brought on by a warm winter and an early abundance of moisture. “It happens as long as the conditions are right, like when there’s enough rain,” she said. “It’s called an outbreak because there are many more moths here than usual. It happens (every) several years when we have more moisture than usual.” According to the Albuquerque Journal, the last Mothpocalypse was in 2003.

“The ecosystem needs them. They have some function, some role. It is not like I am going to try to go out of my way to harm them. They don’t bug me too much.”
“I am staying indoors. First of all, I cannot have the windows down when I am driving, otherwise I am terrified they are going to come in and swarm my face. I could not park under a tree yesterday, because they were swarming.”

Kasondra Lozano “Moths? I know moths. They are in my room and in my house. I catch them and put them outside. I am not scared of anything. I love them.”
“The moths are terrible. They are like the new version of ‘The Birds.’ I am keeping my doors shut, keeping my windows shut, I am spraying a lot of perfume, I hear they don’t like that. I do not know if that is true. There are a good 12 (in my house) at any given time.”
Senate votes to give $11 billion to Postal Service by Hope Yen
The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Senate offered a lifeline to the nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday, voting to give the struggling agency an $11 billion cash infusion while delaying controversial decisions on closing post offices and ending Saturday delivery. By a 62-37 vote, senators approved a measure which had divided mostly along rural-urban lines. Over the past several weeks, the bill was modified more than a dozen times, adding new restrictions on closings and cuts to service that rural-state senators said would hurt their communities the most. The issue now goes to the House, which

has yet to consider a separate version of the bill. “The Postal Service is an iconic American institution that still delivers 500 million pieces of mail a day and sustains 8 million jobs,” said Sen. Joe Lieberman, IConn., a bill co-sponsor. “This legislation will change the USPS so it can stay alive throughout the 21st century.” The mail agency, however, criticized the measure, saying it fell far short in stemming financial losses. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said if the bill became law, he would have to return to Congress in a few years to get emergency help. “It is totally inappropriate in these economic times to keep unneeded facilities open. There is simply not enough mail in our system today,” the Postal Service’s Editor-in-Chief Chris Quintana Managing Editor Elizabeth Cleary News Editor Luke Holmen Assistant News Editor Avicra Luckey Staff Reporters Svetlana Ozden Hannah Stangbye Victoria Carreon Photo Editor Dylan Smith
board of governors said in a statement. “It is also inappropriate to delay the implementation of five-day delivery.” The Senate bill would halt the immediate closing of up to 252 mail-processing centers and 3,700 post offices, part of a postal cost-cutting plan to save some $6.5 billion a year. Donahoe previously said he would begin making cuts after May 15 if Congress didn’t act, warning that the agency could run out of money this fall. The measure would save about half the mail processing centers the Postal Service wants to close, from 252 to 125, allowing more areas to maintain overnight firstclass mail delivery for at least three more years. It also would bar any shutdowns before the November elections, protect rural post offices for at least a year, give affected

communities new avenues to appeal closing decisions and forbid cuts to Saturday delivery for two years. At the same time, the Postal Service would get an infusion of roughly $11 billion, basically a refund of overpayments made in previous years to a federal retirement fund. That would give it immediate liquidity to pay down debt to forestall bankruptcy and finance buyouts to 100,000 postal employees. The agency could make smaller annual payments into a future retiree health benefits account, gain flexibility in trimming worker compensation benefits and find additional ways to raise postal revenue under a new chief innovation officer.

Loans from page 1 in the (degrees they wanted),” he said. According to an Associated Press report, about half, or 1.5 million, of the nation’s college graduates are underemployed or unemployed. According to the Federal Reserve’s Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit, student loan debt in the U.S. is $867 billion, and the average amount a graduate will owe is about $23,000. The report also states that the majority of debt holders are under the age of 30 and borrowers ages 30-39 have the highest average balance at about $28,000. ASUNM President-elect Caroline Muraida said it is important to identify the reasons students earn degrees. She said UNM must understand which factors influence the scope of students’ educational experience before addressing concerns about tuition, financial aid and graduation rates. “We are an academic institution, which is the primary place for intellectual growth, so we have to start at the root of a lot of these issues,” she said. “UNM needs community discussions about what issues are plaguing us as a University, that way we can move forward.” According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 25.5 percent of New Mexicans aged 25 and older have a bachelor’s degree or higher. The national average is 27.9 percent. GPSA President Katie Richardson said if the trend continues, fewer and fewer students will be financially able to pursue graduate and doctoral degrees. “There is a breaking point that I think we’re rapidly reaching in education where it doesn’t actually make fiscal sense to get a master’s or doctorate degree,” she

During a forum Tuesday, Wilson and University officials including Provost Chaouki Abdallah spoke about increasing costs of higher education, and UNM’s role in serving students. said. “And that’s not good for our economy now and in the longrun.” But UNM student Jordan Whelchel said education should focus more on learning and less on getting a degree for the sake of a job. “We were talking about how much we value literature and culture and people really just using education as an end to itself, and that to me is where we ultimately need to go,” he said. “Until we change the profit motive, we are going to keep producing educated people who can’t find jobs to suit their education, which we’re doing now in massive numbers.” Whelchel said the point of a University should be to produce an educated population, not just job-seekers. “Centuries ago that’s not how universities functioned; it wasn’t some place you went to get a job,”

he said. “What I would really like to see is a universal aristocracy of education where every single person has those opportunities to treat the cultivation of their own minds and their own lives as an end in itself.” Whelchel criticized government defense spending and argued in favor of increased spending on education. According to FY 2012 Federal Budget Spending Estimates, the U.S. spent only 3 percent of its budget on education, but spent about 25 percent on defense, 23 percent on health care and 22 percent on pensions, which were the three largest expenditures. About 37 million Americans have outstanding loan debt, and student loan balances are higher than total credit card debt and auto loan balances in the United States, according to the Federal Reserve.

Post Office from page 2 Other bill provisions would: —Place a one-year moratorium on closing rural post offices and then require the mail agency to take rural issues into special consideration. Post offices generally would be protected from closure if the closest mail facility was more than 10 miles away. The exception would be cases in which there was no significant community opposition. —Shut five of the seven post offices on the Capitol grounds. —Take into account the impact on small businesses before closing mail facilities. —Cap postal executive pay through 2015 at $199,000, the same level as a Cabinet secretary, and create a system under which the top people at the Postal Service are paid based on performance. The Senate bill faces an uncertain future. The House version, approved in committee last year, would create a national commission with the power to scrap no-layoff clauses in employee contracts and make other wideranging cuts. “This of course kicks the can down the road,” complained Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who unsuccessfully pushed for a commission in the Senate bill. He said the current proposal failed to address longer-term fixes and delayed major decisions. “We’ll be on the floor in two years addressing this issue again, because it is not a solution.” Noting that more people every year are switching to the Internet to send letters and pay bills, Donahoe called the Postal Service’s business model “broken.” The agency has estimated that the Senate bill would only provide it enough liquidity to continue operating for two years or three years.
At stake are more than 100,000 jobs, The agency, $12 billion in debt, says it could run out of money for day-to-day operations as soon as this fall, forcing it to shut down some of its services. The mail agency forecasts a record $14.1 billion loss by the end of this year; without changes, it says annual losses will exceed $21 billion by 2016. On Tuesday, the Postal Service circulated a smaller list of mail processing centers that probably would close under the Senate bill; many in more rural or small states would be spared. For instance, centers would survive in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Missouri and Vermont, whose senators were sponsors of the postal bill or pushed amendments, according to the preliminary list obtained by The Associated Press. A facility in Easton, Md., also would stay open. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., previously attempted to block the postal bill in protest of that specific closure. Also surviving were all four mail processing centers in Nevada, home to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as all eight centers in Colorado and all five centers in Utah. “This bill is a vital first step in pulling the Postal Service back from the edge of a fiscal abyss,” said Art Sackler, coordinator of the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service, a group representing the private sector mailing industry. “It’s now critical that the House follow suit quickly or we risk a shutdown of the Postal Service and an ensuing economic calamity,” he said. The Postal Service, an independent agency of government, does not receive taxpayer money for its operations but is subject to congressional control.

Letter
Divisive rabble-rousing threatens nation’s future Editor, It is very sad that there are so many people in this country today, like Rush Limbaugh, who seem to delight in getting people stirred up and divided, when what is needed most is for us all to calm down and work together to solve all the problems we have. It is even sadder that so many people in this country allow the words of people like Rush Limbaugh to control their words and actions. In my opinion, unless this changes soon, the nation founded to be guided by the principles established by the founding fathers will soon disappear from this planet. Robert Gardiner Daily Lobo reader
From the web In the letter, “Bigotry on Lobo website has become intolerable,” published Wednesday, Daily Lobo reader Abraham Sammy said comments on DailyLobo.com were hateful toward certain groups. Readers on DailyLobo.com responded: by “Sam Duro” posted on Wednesday “I read through those comments and found mostly good sense and considerate viewpoints. Are you sure you were on the correct website?” by “Eugene” posted on Wednesday “…said Mr. Duro, who is a Zionist according to HIS own posts on the very same web site; naturally he thinks Zionist hate rants make ‘good sense.’ You Zionist trolls are too funny.” by “GOTB.” posted on Wednesday “My view of the comments Mr. Abraham Sammy is referring to is very different. I found the comments to consist of a variety, typically from two extreme viewpoints. Most comments were either pro-Israel or pro-Palestine. I would say also that just because Mr. Sammy does not associate himself with the pro-Israel view point; he should not accuse people who do of being bigots. That’s a two-edge sword, and wielding it poorly can cause injury to either side. The rights that people should all rally in support of are the rights that people have NOT to be politically correct. No one should believe that they have the right to control another’s thinking. Discrimination is what we have to fight against, but the fight should not be to tell people how they should think and feel about an issue. Discrimination is an act not a thought.”

Dr. Peg’s Prescription Symptoms, severity of gluten intolerance vary Dear Dr. Peg, I want to know more about having a gluten allergy and how common or serious it really is. A lot of my friends have this allergy and their symptoms are starting to make me suspicious too. -Suspicious of Gluten
by “hill” posted on Wednesday “Why do you think that bigotry has grown on the website? It’s always been horrendous, full of ad hominem put downs, ignorant and vile.”
Dear Suspicious, So gluten makes the news again. It’s happened a lot in recent years and the story changes with time. I’m glad you asked this question, because it gives me an opportunity to share the latest. Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, rye and barley. It is everywhere, not only in the obvious places like bread but also in many cereals, cheese spreads, chocolate milks, beer, dried fruits, other processed and prepared foods and even some medicines and cosmetics. Most people can eat — or wear — gluten without difficulty. Others cannot, due to problems that range along a spectrum from gluten sensitivity to Celiac disease to true wheat allergy. True wheat allergy, more common in little children, causes an allergic type reaction shortly after eating wheat. The symptoms are swelling and itching in the throat, hives, nasal congestion and watery eyes, cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and sometimes anaphylaxis, a serious systemic reaction with

life-threatening trouble breathing. Kids often grow out of wheat allergy by age 5 and it is much less common in adults. Celiac disease is also known as gluten intolerance. It too involves an immune reaction but is not a true allergy. Celiac disease is an autoimmune problem that often runs in families. It is more common in Caucasians and women. Some people have symptoms starting in childhood. Others don’t have problems until adulthood, when the disease might get triggered by a stressful event like surgery, pregnancy, a viral infection or emotional stress. When a Celiac patient eats gluten, their intestines react by creating an immune response, also known as inflammation. This inflammatory response causes damage to the small intestine. The small intestine is normally lined by tiny projections called villi that look sort of like a long shag carpet. Their function it is to absorb nutrients. In Celiac disease, the villi are flattened by the autoimmune response. The damaged intestine can not properly do its absorption job. Because of this, gluten intolerance results in many other problems. If your intestine cannot absorb iron, you can become anemic. Calcium malabsorption can lead to osteoporosis. General nutrient malabsorption can lead to poor growth in children or unexplained weight loss in adults. There are even some cancers, like intestinal lymphoma and bowel cancers, that are more common in untreated Celiac patients, though nobody is yet sure why. The word Celiac comes from the Greek word for bellyache. Typical symptoms of gluten intolerance are abdominal pain, bloating, cramping and diarrhea or constipation, all after eating something with gluten in it. For reasons that are not yet clear, this condition can also cause symptoms that are seemingly unrelated to the intestine. These include canker sores, headaches, seizures, joint pain, discolored teeth, tingling and numbness, infertility and a certain kind of itchy skin rash. There is even some speculation that Celiac disease contributes to mental conditions like ADHD and depression. About one in 133 Americans have Celiac
disease, and more get it every year. Speculation about the cause is widespread. One theory proposes that the rise in Celiac disease is caused by overuse of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications and antacid medications, combined with our low-fiber, high-sugar diet, combined with genetic alterations in gluten proteins by the wheat industry. Celiac disease could be what your friends have, but it is more likely that they have a milder condition called gluten sensitivity. I say milder because although gluten sensitivity doesn’t damage the intestines the way Celiac disease does, many of the symptoms are the same, and people who are sensitive to gluten can be pretty miserable. Diagnosis of gluten problems is difficult. Many people with full-on Celiac disease will have characteristic antibodies in their blood, but not everyone does. People with gluten sensitivity are often diagnosed by removing gluten from their diet and watching to see whether their symptoms resolve. If you think you might have a gluten problem, it is probably wise to see a doctor. Or, if you want to investigate on your own first, you can always give yourself a glutenfree trial. I recommend you stick with it for at least three weeks. Avoiding gluten is harder than you might think. As I mentioned above, that stuff is everywhere, and even a little bit can cause a problem if you are very sensitive. Read labels closely. Fortunately, as awareness about this condition grows, you can find more gluten-free products marked and marketed as such, on the shelves and even on restaurant menus. Go gluten free for three weeks and see how you feel. If your symptoms go away, you may have found the key.

Cops nab 28 alleged traffickers by Russell Contreras The Associated Press
Federal agents and local police have arrested 28 suspected gang members and associates in New Mexico as part of a national roundup of gang members linked to drug and human trafficking. Officials with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations announced Wednesday that members and associates affiliated with the South Side Locos and Brown Pride gangs in Albuquerque, southern New Mexico and the Four Corner’s region were in federal custody following a quick probe of the area. Authorities also seized heroin, cocaine and meth with a street value of close to $300,000. In addition, federal agents and local authorities seized more than a dozen or so illegal firearms and two expensive vehicles. “This was a coordinated effort that resulted in the arrests of a number of high ranking gang members,� said Dennis Ulrich, Homeland Security Investigations Acting Special Agent in Charge of West Texas and New Mexico. “We believe they were involved in drug trafficking and human smuggling.� The roundup was part of a national operation known as
“Project Nefarious� which nabbed more than 600 gang members with outstanding warrants across the country. The arrests also come after law enforcement agencies around New Mexico have asked federal officials to assist cash-strapped departments in battling gangs, drug trafficking and weapons violations. But as federal authorities have moved into places like Roswell and Las Cruces, violent drug cartels have increased their presence in the remote area of northwest New Mexico that borders Arizona, Utah and Colorado. “Not only do we welcome (the federal presence), we’re asking for it,� said San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christesen, whose territory includes the areas in the Four Corners bordering the large Navajo Nation. Because the Navajo Nation is so isolated and large, Christesen said the area is a popular route from Phoenix for drug traffickers and human smugglers who use the reservation’s many remote roads to distribute throughout the region. “It shouldn’t be left to the local law enforcement agencies to fight a national problem,� Christesen said. According to Ulrich, most of those arrested in New Mexico were

living near Farmington. Five of the 28 arrested were women linked to the gangs, Ulrich said. Federal authorities said that by getting involved and charging criminals in federal court, they can increase the amount of prison time. In recent months, Homeland Security agents assisted local law enforcement agencies in more than 20 criminal investigations that will be prosecuted by U.S. attorneys, said Ulrich. The federal government can seize criminals’ money and possessions when they are convicted. Since 2009, Homeland Security Investigations has added around 60 new agents to New Mexico and helped formed a number of joint task forces and multiagency groups aimed at tackling rural gangs, political corruption, drug and gun trafficking, child pornography, and human smuggling. The beefed-up presence has resulted in a string of recent highprofile arrests, federal officials said. In March, for example, the mayor of the border town of Columbus and its police chief were among those arrested in a drug and weapons raid following a federal investigation into firearms smuggling from the U.S. to Mexico. The mayor and police chief later pleaded guilty to federal charges.

LARP
Live action role-playing helps participants conquer real-world fears
by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Half-human “changelings” who try to regain their humanity and fight evil forces came to life in the minds of members of the Mind’s Eye Society on April 14th. Members of the society’s UNM chapter met in the SUB, but the characters they play met at the Alvarado Hotel, which is accessed by portals behind the Alvarado Transportation Center. The characters are part of “Changeling: The Lost,” one of two live action role-playing (LARP) games hosted by the Mind’s Eye Society at UNM. Group member Amber Griffis said LARP is similar to imaginative tabletop games like “Dungeons and Dragons,” except LARPers incorporate acting and movement into the game. “You get up, you move around, you can wear costumes,” she said. “When you’re table-topping, you’re not always in character, you’re just kind of reacting to what the storyteller tells you, whereas in a LARP, a lot of the experience and joy of gaming comes from interaction.” Costumes are optional but many players wear them. One woman wears a hat with a giant fake peacock and carries a cane, offering butterscotches to everyone. Another wears a revealing, black leather shirt, the straps of which attach to a studded collar around her neck. A man wears a three piece suit and sunglasses for the indoor game. The Mind’s Eye Society at UNM formed in 2005, and the “Changeling” game, along with many of its players, has remained the same since the group’s beginning. LARPers begin the “Changeling” game and sit around a large table, discussing various threats from Santa Fe that could jeopardize their safety. One character says she has intimate knowledge of one of the issues. “I seduced that girl, as well as a few others, not necessarily women, mind. I have an in with each of the four big bads,” she said. Griffis said her character sleeps with anything that looks at her twice. As the game progresses, voices get higher and the content becomes more emotional. A woman is forced to recount her husband’s death, and her arms tremble as she shrieks in protest, face reddening. Griffis said the characters are revisiting a traumatic event characters experienced than three years ago. Players create characters with various skills, then act out those characters with guidance from the storyteller, who has formulated a basic plot for the evening. Group member Evan Prieskop said the rules can be accessed online via his iPhone. The rules the players follow were created by White Wolf Publishing, the creator of the “Changeling” game
and the other game the group plays, “Vampire.” The company creates new games every 10 years. Once a new one is created, players typically discontinue playing the old one. Players often keep the same character throughout the span of a game. Griffis said she has played her “Changeling” character for six years. This means that players develop intimate relationships with their characters, but per game rules, characters’ lives depend on the roll of a die. When a character dies, the LARPer cannot play it anymore, but can create a new character. “When you are fully immersed in your character, you get attached and it’s not just dots on a piece of paper,” she said. “You live and breathe and you think like those characters, you’re trying to be them. So when you kill a character, of course they’re sad and upset. If they killed my character tonight, I would be kind of devastated, but I wouldn’t cry and never come back.” Griffis said players draw from personal experiences to create their characters, but they also choose characters that have very different qualities from themselves. She said sometimes people act out fears they have, which can help them overcome those fears. “One of the players plays a character who is a mustache-twirling villain who likes to pontificate at people, but the player himself has trouble speaking in public,” she said. “He’ll come into LARPs and be able to speak and ramble on ... He’s been doing this for 100 years. There are personal challenges you can work on.” Griffis said she came to Mind’s Eye Society looking for a larger social network in Albuquerque. Through Mind’s Eye Society she met her boyfriend, whom she‘s been dating for more than five years. “I used to be really shy, like I don’t want to talk to people, stranger danger,” she said. “When I came to do the LARPs, I tried to play characters that were more outgoing than I was. In order to do that, I had to put myself out there and consequently, six years later, I’m loud-mouthed and pushy.” “Changeling” storyteller Irene Zaugg said LARP is just a type of social interaction, not a nerd fest. “Some people have knitting or quilting groups and we have a social group around role-playing,” she said. “I don’t think we’re any more exceptional than another nerd out there. We show up to IHOP still wearing our costuming. We look a little weird, but there isn’t a hostile reaction to all that. There’s actually more acceptance.”
Rebecca Hampton / Daily Lobo James Bronaugh improvises a story as part of the live action role-playing (LARP) game “Vampires” Saturday in the SUB. LARPers often tell questioning bystanders they’re an improv theater group to avoid explaining the complex rules.
The story of “Changeling” The live action role-playing game “Changeling: the Lost” is based on mortals who were stolen by evil gentry to be slaves in another world. The gentry leave behind a fake human in their place, so nobody realizes the mortal is gone. “They take you and, in traditional myth, then they leave behind what’s called a fetch, a thing made of strings and bobbins and half-eaten cheese sandwiches that lives your life, is you, so that nobody actually knows you’re missing,” LARPer Amber Griffis said. The mortals escape at some point and try to regain their humanity while surviving away from the gentry. These are the characters LARPers portray when they meet in the SUB to play “Changeling.”

‘Having fun is the big winner’ by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Although live action role-playing (LARP) games are based on improvisation, there is still a storyteller who mediates the action. Each game has an elected storyteller who holds that position for a year and is in charge of coming up with plot lines and leading players through them. But the plot is never definite — everything is improvised, which makes it interesting, Robert Cravens, former storyteller for the Mind’s Eye Society at UNM, said. “Some people don’t like being a storyteller because it does take a lot of extra time to come up with all sorts of things and plot what’s going to be happening,� he said. “You could have this awesome plot in mind, and you start to play it out, and it goes in a different direction. If you’re not ready for that, then you can get a lot of stress.� Cravens, a PetSmart warehouse manager, said he really enjoys storytelling because he gets satisfaction from helping to entertain others. “My favorite part of being a storyteller is at the end of the night if everyone’s smiling and saying, ‘Oh, I did this and I did that,’� he said. “It makes you feel
good about the story you created.� But group member Evan Prieskop said people’s preference between playing a character and being a storyteller depends on the type of game. “James is the storyteller for the other game, he’s quite happy in that role,� he said. “For this game, he wouldn’t run for that role for all the money in the emperor’s vault. No matter who you are, storyteller or player, there’s a lot of improvisation involved. That’s largely the point: thinking on your feet.� The storyteller is also in charge of having a basic knowledge of the rules, and Cravens said rules are rarely broken. If they are, he said it’s usually by accident. “And very rarely do you get somebody who’s just out there to cheat and ruin somebody’s day, but if it does, it’s taken care of pretty quickly,� he said. “People come to have fun. They don’t come here to be angst about other people.� Like most imaginative games, he said there is no winner and no goal besides creating a story. “There might be a winner of the evening, but the next game, you’re right back on the bottom,� he said. “Everybody wins and everybody loses at some point, but having fun is the big winner.�

This time of year is rife with preparations — prepping the garden for planting, your mind for finals and your feet for summer sandals. Try these easy recipes to naturally soothe and polish your skin and get a handle on stress as you go into the final two weeks of the semester. The Sweet Citrus Body Polish is fabulous for working off the rough edges of winter skin, especially on feet. I use it a couple of times per week in the shower all over my body. Whenever I finish yard work, I wash my hands and then scrub them with the polish.
Sweet Citrus Body Polish: 1 large lemon 1 1/2 cups sugar (granulated or sanding) 1/2 cup olive oil Juice the lemon and mix it with the olive oil and sugar, pulp and all. Add a little extra oil if your lemon isn’t very juicy. The polish should be easy to rub on your skin. If it is too abrasive, add a little extra oil, and if it is too runny, add a little more sugar. Keep it at your sink or in the shower and use whenever you feel the need. Rinse off and apply lotion. Lavender is naturally calming and the honey and milk in the Lavender-Honey Cream Soak will do wonders to moisturize winterweary skin. I like to soak my feet
and hands before a home mani/ pedi or I’ll add it to the bath for a post-work soak. Lavender-Honey Cream Soak: 3 tablespoons dried lavender flowers 1 1/2 cups of cream or whole milk 1/3 cup honey In a blender, process the dried flowers until they form a powder. In a bowl, mix the lavender powder, cream and honey until well blended. This can be used as a milk bath to soothe and nourish the whole body, or it can be used as a foot or hand soak. Rinse off the mixture and pat dry when you’re done. Store any leftovers in a jar in the fridge.
Find your new home! Powwow celebrates old, new by Antonio Sanchez

The Gathering of Nations is the world’s largest powwow, drawing indigenous tribes from around the world, but event co-founder Melonie Mathews said the event doesn’t just reinforce old cultural ties, it creates new ones.

“We have had a couple weddings, one well-known dancer from Oklahoma and his bride-tobe was from Taos, and they decided that the only place where all of their families and friends would be at is the Gathering of Nations,” she said. “Sure enough, we had a full-blown wedding in The Pit before the powwow. That was a really special moment, so every year they spend their anniversary at the gathering.” The event draws more than 2,500 performers and 800 artisan vendors to the event, with tribes hailing from as far away as Canada and New Zealand. This threeday powwow features traditional and nontraditional forms of dancing and singing, along with food and jewelry vendors. The event is open to the public and allows people of all ages to dance and participate, Mathews said. “It really has become a catalyst for young people to keep involved in their own culture, their own tribe, their own powwows,” Mathews said. Mathews said she grew up alongside the event because she and her father, Derek Mathews, had the idea for the event. Her father watched her perform at other powwows when she was a child, and she said they noticed that many of the events were poorly judged. This is where the idea for Gathering of the Nations was born. Mathews said all the money received goes directly back into the event to cover facility rental fees, staff, insurance and other expenses. “We are a nonprofit organization. It’s not like we’re a for-profit trying to gauge and make money,” she said. “This event is literally for the people, about the people, not about us and not about making money.” This year’s head man dancer, Kenny Pratt Jr., said he’s wanted to perform and compete at the gathering since he was a child. “They’re the who’s who of dancers, they’re all there to compete,” Pratt said. “Just the aspect of going to one of the biggest powwows, it makes you feel good that you’re there celebrating dance, you’re celebrating your lifestyle, you’re celebrating life.” Pratt has been a dancer for the past 22 years and said he learned
how to dance when he was 5 years old. He said he dances to please his elders and those who don’t have the ability to dance. While performing at the Shelton Powwow in Washington state earlier this year, Pratt said he was approached by a few elders who offered him money because they liked his dancing. “It gives good feeling to them, puts a smile on their face, and they’re like, ‘Wow, he’s really good. I like the way he dances,’” he said. “The way I was brought up, that was instilled in me, to dance for the elders that are there, because that’s who brought up the way of life, kept the powwow going, the spirituality going, so you honor them while you’re dancing.” This year’s event will also provide contemporary, mostly indigenous entertainment such as musicians, performers, comedians and magicians, said entertainment coordinator Melissa Sanchez. This year’s performing artists range in genre from rock and hip-hop to country and reggae, providing an opportunity for bands to broaden their fan base, Sanchez said. “The artists that come in are not only of the highest caliber, but this particular opportunity is to be a part of the Gathering of Nations powwow,” she said. “There’s a prestige that comes with it because not everybody is chosen to be on the stage.”
