new student orientation The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

Welcome to the pack by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu

UNM’s incoming freshmen population is as unique as its fields of study. UNM is the only school in the nation which offers a major in flamenco technique and choreography. UNM Studio Arts program consistently ranks in the top 25 in the nation, and is well known for its photography concentration. University of New Mexico Hospital ranked 4th in the nation for best primary care, according to Med School 100, and its cancer research program is world renowned.

The fields of study at the University are shaped primarily by faculty interests, Wynn Goering, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, said. “What the students study is shaped by what the faculty study — that is, by their research,” he said. “Each curriculum in our 100+ major fields of study is informed by the latest trends and discoveries made by UNM faculty and their colleagues around the globe.” Popular UNM majors include psychology, biology, political science, English, criminology and elementary education, according to the Office of Institutional Research.

UNM’s minority population is also among the largest in the nation, according to the Office of Institutional Research. According to the Digest of Education Statistics, only 13.7 percent of U.S. high school graduates are Hispanic, and only 1.0 percent identify as Native American. In contrast, UNM population is 37 percent Hispanic and 6.7 percent Native American. UNM draws students mainly from New Mexico and specifically Albuquerque. Its top feeder high schools are all Albuquerque public schools. UNM also attracts students from nearby states in the Southwest, the U.S. and abroad.

Professors and future bosses could be one and the same for law students. UNM is the only law school in the nation with an active court system on its campus, the New Mexico Court of Appeals.

Rose Bryan, a 2010 graduate, said the court provides law students with a better opportunity to integrate themselves into the network of law professionals, as compared to other universities. “To graduate and know multiple senior litigators in the community because they taught my classes, and

news@dailylobo.com Websites and local bookstores promise the lowest sale prices on books and highest buybacks, but which one is really the best deal? The UNM bookstore sells new and used books, and offers buybacks at half of the book’s original new price, according to Bookstore Director Melanie Sparks. “We use a national pricing model, so the publisher sets the price for the new book and the used books are priced 25 percent off the new price,” she said. “We have to have the book order from a faculty member and once we get the book order, as long as we need the books, we will buy them back at half of the new price, even if you bought it used.” Sparks said a benefit of the UNM Bookstore is having every instructor-requested book in stock. “I think we bring value to our customers, and we’re right here on campus,” she said. “We take returns back if you’ve changed your class, we offer really good buybacks, and we also carry every single book title, which is really important.” The UNM Bookstore also offers an online book renting program they hope to expand this fall, Sparks said.

LETTER UNM salary book searchable on Daily Lobo’s website Editor, I’d like to inform your readers about a new resource on the Daily Lobo website. Throughout the year, the Daily Lobo has tried to get the UNM administration to release an electronic copy of the UNM salary book. Though the administration never provided what we believe to be a document of public record, we succeeded in creating a searchable and, hopefully, sortable version of the book. Before, the book resided strictly in Zimmerman Library, was available in only print version and could be checked out of the library for only two hours. We’re still working out the glitches, but the important thing is that the document is available on the Daily Lobo website, and it makes accessible a wealth of public information on the compensation of more than 11,000 UNM employees. The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government aided in this effort, along with former Daily Lobo Editor-in-Chief Damian Garde, the Albuquerque Journal and Kara Olguin, the Daily Lobo intern. We created this online version of the book by scanning each page of the printed version and then compiling those scanned images into a Microsoft Excel document. The document will be available temporarily in the online version of this letter, but it will occupy a permanent space on the Daily Lobo website in the near future. The Daily Lobo continues to believe that open government is one thing journalists are allowed to be biased about. We hope that UNM students, faculty, staff and community members will use this resource and offer feedback on how to improve it. The Daily Lobo still encourages the UNM administration to release an electronic version of a crucial public document that sits unread by University constituents, and we look forward to improving the book’s accuracy and accessibility. We hope Daily Lobo readers will agree that this document is of great public value, and we look forward to continue serving as UNM’s independent student newspaper, both in print and online.

COLUMN

A yearning for learning is crucial By Chelsea Worthington Daily Lobo Guest Columnist

Chuck Klosterman wrote an entertaining discourse on popular culture called “Eating The Dinosaur,” wherein he argues that “it is interesting to not know things.” Why do we pursue knowledge then? Why are you on campus, reading a newspaper stuffed with information that various academic folk wish to disseminate across the minds of the Lobos? If it is interesting to not know things, if there is value in a mystery or excitement in

a conundrum, why is it so satisfying to reach the end and say, “This is what I’ve been trying to figure out!” I’ll tell you why: Because it is fascinating to know something simply for the sake of noticing all the years that you didn’t know it. Maybe not just regretting, but feeling the contrast between the emptiness of your mind five minutes before you discovered the meaning behind “The Wizard of Oz” or a particular color that you’ve never seen before. Why do we like to taste foods someone else invented, new flavors of soda or new,

brilliant candies? Not because we want to try this new thing — to discover what we haven’t yet had — but because we want to feel the polarity between knowing and not knowing. This week, while you discover last-minute facts about the history of jumping rope, the invention of LSD, or exactly how many minutes you can be late to your class without the teacher noticing, keep in mind the satisfaction human minds get from discovering unknowns. Worthington is a UNM student.

LETTERS Cutting Johnson Gym’s hours does more harm than good Dear Editor, My fellow graduate students and I are frustrated about the latest spate of closures affecting Johnson Gym. Now that the new schedule is out — covering the interim between this semester and summer school — our frustration has become even more pronounced. Not only is the gym to be closed on weekends, the schedule tells us that the gym will be open only five hours a day on week days: 12-2 and 4-7. The 4,306 graduate students can’t even park without having to pay during the earlier of these time slots. UNM official numbers for last spring had enrollment at 26,098 students. Can the administration expect to serve that many in so short a time period? Given the impossibility of the task, isn’t it fair to ask that the gym be made available? The school has programs through Recreational and Health Services to tell us why we need to take care of our bodies in order to ensure our mental health (not to mention the benefits to our grades). So doesn’t making these services impossible to obtain counter their own stated goals? As someone who takes health and his well being seriously, I rely on the gym for the very reasons the school’s programs suggest. Thecurrentpolicyisforcingmetogoelsewhere, to spend money I don’t have in order to do so and burn gas to get to and from other, private gyms. I have a BA and an MA from other schools, and their gyms were open nearly 24/7. It’s standard operating procedure at most schools, largely because of the benefits it confers to the students in terms of health, happiness and grades. All students pay “fees” to ensure certain services are available to us. Graduate students use few of these, and of the ones we do use, the gym

is at the top of the list. Making the already-crowded gym more inaccessible is robbing us all of a much-needed service, one we have already paid for and deserve to have available. The administration should expand student access to the Johnson Center. Cutting a few hourly positions isn’t a solution to their budgetary issues. Putting restrictions on students’ quality of life shouldn’t be an option. Thanks. John Anderson Hall UNM Graduate Student

PATS takes away parking spaces; raises rates Dear Editor, I would like some clarification from Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) Director Clovis Acosta on the impact of raising rates. I understand that this will be the first time in three years, but in the past three years the staff has not had a raise. Yet, the University has raised our insurance rates and is raising our co-pays. Now PATS wants to chip away at our dwindling paychecks. Then, to add insult to injury on our pocket books, PATS decided to place parking meter machines in already cramped lots. In “B” parking, we have suffered numerous losses in spaces due to new construction. Anybody on the waiting list can tell you that PATS is not issuing any new permits. I had understood that the Yale parking structure was to alleviate some of the congestion. Now it seems, without warning, PATS can take up spaces that we are already charged a premium on. We should get a discount on them if PATS is going to use vital parking spaces for their gain. Also they could save the $1300 they spend on the PATS personalized parking space in “B” lot if in fact they

do charge themselves for that space. I would love to use alternate transportation, but I am not a schedule that would allow good use of public transportation. So I am forced to pay ridiculous prices to park at my place of employment. I would just like to know how PATS can raise parking permit rates and then take parking spaces away? Eric C. Poncho UNM Faculty

Today’s media is just an arm for the ultra rich and powerful Dear Editor, There was a time, not long ago, when at least a fraction of the readily available media in this country had as its goal to inform common people of what really happens. This was so they could take whatever action was needed to prevent the few ultra rich and powerful from destroying the middle class and making this nation another country ruled by the few at the expense of the majority. Today, it appears that nearly all of the readily available media has aligned itself with the few ultra rich and powerful. The media has become just another element in our society dedicated to the destruction of the middle class and the replacement of the government “of, by and for the people” with a government “of, by and for the few ultra rich at the top of the Military Industrial Complex.” There appears to be no way to prevent this from happening. Since that appears to be the reality of this time in history, it is time to say “goodbye” to any semblance of democracy in this country and “hello” to “corporatocracy.” It was with a heavy heart that I wrote this; but I like to be one with reality, however painful that is at times.

to know that they care about whether or not I succeed, I know I wouldn’t be as happy a lawyer as I am here in this community,” she said. Bryan said students have frequent opportunities to interact with and learn from the judges in the appellate court. Barbara Bergman, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, said the courtroom has two seminar rooms at the back with one-way glass that allows students to watch court proceedings. “You can sit in the rooms, hear the argument, and talk about it without disturbing the case,” she said. “Courtrooms aren’t [usually] designed like that. That was one of the primary motivations for designing the court room like that.” Michael Bustamante, New Mexico Court of Appeals judge, has been at UNM since 1971. He said at the start of his career, the state’s Court of Appeals was located in Santa Fe. In 1991 the court established a new location in Albuquerque, which hears most appeals cases, even though the official seat of the court is still in Santa Fe. The court in Albuquerque was originally located in a tiny building, but in 2009 the court moved to a new, improved and soon-to-be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building on UNM’s north campus. The building is named after former law school professor Pamela B. Minzner. Bustamante said construction on the new building cost about $12 million, which was appropriated to the court by the State Legislature. He said the court provides law students with a wealth of employment opportunities after they graduate. “More than half of this court are UNM alumni,” Bustamante said. “I hire all my clerks from the law school, as do most of the other alumni here.”

UNM is home to the only Law School in the country with a functioning Court of Appeals on its campus. In the court’s stairwell is a moving sculpture by a Japanese artist that is part of an initiative to promote art in government buildings. Zach Gould / Daily Lobo

Bookstore

from page 1

One off-campus option, Campus Bookstore, offers more flexible pricing and buybacks, store owner Wes Strassle said. “We have six book wholesalers,” he said “The wholesalers UNM has, and Samee’s has, and CNM has plus three more, so we have that many more outlets to get books and to buy books back from the students to send back to those people.” Strassle said Campus Bookstore has a system that factors the age of the book, whether it will be needed for future classes, and whether a new edition will soon be released into pricing decisions.

“We have a lot of freedom in our system,” he said. “We look at the book, we can tell if it’s old, we can tell if it’s going to be in session for a while.” Strassle also said Campus Bookstore will buy books back for half of book’s used price. Another off-campus option for books is Samee’s Textbooks. Samee’s sells books 18 percent cheaper than UNM’s bookstore and will buy books back for five percent more, Sam Cohen, of Samee’s Textbooks, said. “We’re cheaper because our overhead costs are cheaper,” he said.

The future is now for the UNM baseball team, despite a disappointing 2011 season. The Lobos have taken a step backward this year in regards to success, but the lack of wins hasn’t affected the young squad’s mentality. Currently the Lobos are 16-36 this season, which is 22 fewer wins than last year’s NCAA tournament team. “It was a little bit different than what I had expected,” freshman starting pitcher Jake McCasland said. “We don’t have that great of a record, but it has still been a good time for us.” In 2010, UNM returned to the NCAA tournament with a 38-22 record. It was the first time in 48 years Lobo baseball played for a national championship. 2011 had been built up to be a repeat performance of what the Lobos accomplished last season: back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances. Despite only one returning starter with infielder Alex Allbritton, UNM and head coach Ray Birmingham hoped to rely on a rebuilt squad — a team full of freshmen.

But the young Lobos immediately got a reality check this season. UNM played one of the toughest schedules in the nation, in which the Lobos faced four ranked teams and played more games on the road than at home. Freshman left fielder Sam Wilson said the challenging schedule has made the Lobos mentally tough. “I thought it was a great year in gaining experience,” he said. “You know, we did have one of the top schedules in the nation, but it was a tough year.” UNM is coming off of a four-game sweep at No. 8 Oklahoma. The Lobos were outscored by the Sooners 28-10, which included two 8-3 losses in a double-header on May 14. But there is no negative attitude in UNM’s clubhouse. Wilson said he embraced the difficult opposition. “It’s fun to go out there and, pretty much every series, play somebody that’s top in the nation,” he said. “It’s good to know that we can go out there and play with those guys, especially being as young as we are. I think it’s just building for the future.” And McCasland has had personal growing pains this season, as evidenced by his performance on the pitching mound. He started 13 games for the Lobos this season and mustered a 2-6 record with a 5.55 ERA. In fact, McCasland’s first career start at UNM was at No. 8 Arizona State in the second game of the season. Against the Sun Devils, McCasland went six innings, gave up 10 hits and allowed four earned runs. But like Wilson, McCasland is using the 2011 season as a learning tool. He said the tough schedule shows that UNM will play anyone and anywhere. “You have to go in there and play those teams like you have nothing to lose, and we really don’t,” McCasland said. “We just go in there and just take a few (games) from them.” While the Lobos are struggling, they’ve looked good doing so this season. UNM has played in a state-ofthe-art facility. For the last three seasons, UNM played at Isotopes Park, which is home to Triple-A baseball’s Albuquerque Isotopes. McCasland said that as a freshman, it’s an overwhelming experience playing in a minor league ballpark almost every day. “I’ve played there a couple of times in summer ball, and in two state championships,” he said. “It’s a really nice field and great place to play.”

No glamor in a sports writer’s life by Isaac Avilucea ijavilu@gmail.com

When I still had dreams, sugar plums and all that happy horsesh*t dancing in my head, I, like every young, impressionable child, wanted to be a professional athlete. But it became painfully obvious, if not to me — because I was blinded by my own endearing childish obliviousness — then to my parents that I didn’t have the physical stature or dedication to become one. Oh, they played along. My father allowed me, at 8 years old, to play in the Young American Football League. My mom would

pack up my siblings and haul us around to my games. And my dutiful parents would sit there full of smiles and support. I was decent, but I wasn’t some child prodigy. But I didn’t get it. I watched sports, lived sports, read about sports. One day, my dad decided it was time to burst my bubble. For two years running, I read and wrote my book report on The Emmitt Zone, an autobiography co-written by Hall-of-Fame running back Emmitt Smith. By this point, even my father, an avid sports fan, had tired of my fixation. There are more things, he explained, than sports. And so in that

New Student Orientation 2011 / Page 7

spirit, he forced me to pick another book to write my report on. Not really having a choice, I obliged. I read The Transall Saga, a novel by Gary Paulsen. And I hated every minute of it — it was just some recapitulated story about a 13-yearold survivalist who gets sucked up by a beam of light and ends up on a God-forsaken alien planet. Twelve years later, seeing as how things turned out, you’d think my dad lost the battle, because instead of playing sports, I’ve dedicated my life to writing about them. He didn’t lose — he was right. Sports aren’t everything. There are other more important things in life. But sports are something — something far more important than what people make them out to be. Far too often, athletics — and by extension sports writing — is attached to an unremarkable scarlet letter of being unimportant. For as big of a social institution as it is, sports are often trivialized —

thought to be a distraction from the real-world problems we face on a daily basis. To an extent, they are. Save for the occasional stray athlete who ventures into the political arena, typically they are not who we listen to when it comes to social injustices, human rights violations and national disasters. Athletes usually don’t use their built-in platforms to speak to the masses because they are conscious of their self-worth and how voicing politically charged attitudes could affect their bottom lines. The games themselves, well, fans believe they’re just games — nothing more, nothing less. There’s no need to dissect them and interpret them for their symbolic meaning. Such an attitude is pervasive, and permeates the journalism industry. At papers across the country, sports writers, much like photographers, are considered second-class citizens. It has irked me

throughout my four years writing and editing at the student newspaper. The sports desk is, in many minds, the “toy department” because, supposedly, we don’t cover anything intensive, exhausting and hard-hitting. The common misperception: being a sports writer is an enviable position. Punch the clock. Go cover a game. Jot down some notes. Get a couple interviews. Crank out a story. Easy money. No stress. No bullsh*t to deal with. No politicians. Conventional wisdom holds that sports writers live fanciful lives. We get paid, arguably, to write about a stupid, little, insignificant contest. That’s not to mention the built-in perks — you know, the schmoozing with players and coaches, the media luncheons with buffet-style sprawls fit for kings, the all-expenses-paid mini-vacations to cover

Big dreams for growing team by Ryan Tomari rtomari@unm.edu

Do not attempt to pilot an aircraft vehicle while reading the Daily Lobo. A FRIENDLY PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE

Racquetball is the fastest-growing sport at UNM. For eight years the UNM racquetball club team has practiced and played on the top-level courts at Johnson Center. Ray Gomez, who has been on the

team for three years, said the club has expanded. “In my first year, we maybe had eight people, and now we have around 20,” he said. Since the racquetball team is a club sport at the University, like hockey and rugby club teams, the UNM racquetball club receives little funding. Fundraisers and members’ money support the team. The UNM club is a part of the United States Racquetball Association, which allows the squad to play in national tournaments. Andrew Moser, who has been a member of the club for four years, said that two years ago the USRA set up a five-year plan to have the sport be recognized by the NCAA. “Hopefully within the next three years we will be NCAA-sponsored and become a scholarship sport,” he said. “At that point, (college) racquetball can take things to the next level because right now, we’re very individualistic. Teams are very unique to college.” Racquetball can be played solo or in pairs, but Moser said that at the college level, they play individually and in nationals. The UNM racquetball team com-

No glamor

petes against regional teams instead of Mountain West Conference teams because funding is so miniscule, Moser said. He said that UNM plays Utah, Colorado, Colorado State, Arizona, Arizona State and some Texas schools. “We would try and travel a couple times throughout the year and try and play these teams,” Moser said. “Maybe we would meet in Utah, and Colorado would meet us there to and play a little tournament. That would be pre-nationals and help us out with rankings.” This season the UNM racquetball team took 15th place in the national tournament in April, but it’s just as much an individual sport. The first-place finisher at the national tournament earns a spot on the U.S. National Racquetball Team that competes in the Olympics. Gomez said he lives for the sport, but there are others who play strictly for enjoyment. No matter their skill levels, Gomez said old and new club members have developed a tight-knit relationship. “You just come and have fun and try,” he said. “If you like it, learn to love and just keep working at it. We have people who just love to play and they always show up.”

away games. I don’t want to leave this open for interpretation: being a sports writer is not an enviable position; it’s a thankless profession. If it’s praise you seek, join the priesthood or a convent. Cash rules everything around you? Well, in that case, be advised to major in banking or big business. Is it fame that you fancy? Few, if any, take notice of bylines. More than anybody else, sports writers are misfits — too uncoordinated and unathletic to play professionally, thought to be too dullwitted to cover something more important, like news. Perhaps, at some level, this is true. Maybe I’m deluding myself into thinking that I’m not channeling some part of my youth — that that desire to become a professional athlete never really died as I grew and matured. Maybe I’m just a pseudointellectual who thinks that sports journalism doesn’t have to suffer from dumb-it-down tactics — that there are some fans who want to be challenged intellectually, that sports lend themselves toward

scholarship and philosophy. That Jesse Owens’ triumph at the 1936 Berlin Olympics was a glorious moment worthy of social and political exploration. That Jackie Robinson proved sports are not just “a reflection of the mainstream culture or the society,” as the sports-journalistturned-scholar Robert Lipsyte proclaimed in 1979, but a venue where social reformation can be realized — a place where race, class and gender importance is diminished, if not meaningless. That San Francisco Chronicle reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams brought us sports’ modern-day Watergate when they published Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports, uprooting baseball’s dirty little secret — that sports have farreaching implications outside of just the game. Or maybe I’m still that delusional, little child — full of dreams, sugar plums and all that happy horsesh*t.

Blackout Theatre Corner of 2nd and Gold Street The Box is just a little too far from campus to be considered a short walk from campus (though we’re not stopping you. That’s why we like you — you’re hardcore.) The trek is worth it, because The Box houses Blackout Theatre, by and large the most prolific and most exciting theater company in Albuquerque. The artistic core is composed of UNM graduates, each with the considerable drive and creative aptitude to make incredible shows from a technical, visionary and performance standpoint. The Box also occasionally houses “The Reptilian Lounge,” a debaucherous late-night cabaret filled with new acts every time and audience participation. It is, hands down, the single best recurring performance event in all of Albuquerque. The fun you’ll have at anything else pales in comparison. They also have local micro beer brought in on a portable tap. Of course, you need to be 21 to partake, but what you do beforehand is none of the Daily Lobo’s business.

“The fun you’ll have at anything else pales in comparison ” Aux Dog 3011 Monte Vista Blvd. NE Aux Dog is the closest off-campus theater. It’s located east (toward the mountains) from the back lots of the dorms past the Taco Hut/Pizza Bell on Monte Vista, that weird little caddy-corner street that zips southeast from the Girard and Central intersection. Aux Dog strives for exciting theater that challenges the concept of theater being a lame activity for freaks and fogies. They’re always looking for new blood, and you don’t need to be an “actor” to think that this manner of thing is for you. Aux Dog’s upcoming shows include, but are not limited to, “Corpus Christi,” a play in which Jesus and the Apostles are gay men living together in modern-day Texas, and “Bat Boy: the Musical,” which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

Popejoy Hall Center for the Arts (on campus) The best way to deal with UNM’s Theatre and Dance department is to not feel like an outsider. Or if you do, don’t be intimidated by it. They’re people just like you, only sillier. The best information about UNM shows, auditions, even local film (student and professional) is found deep in the bowels of the Center for the Arts building — so deep, in fact, they say it transforms into the “Fine Arts Center.” But for you freshmen that don’t long for the chance to peek at the labyrinth’s minotaurs, there is a shortcut. On the west side of Popejoy is an open lot area and steps that lead up to double doors. Head through them and — BLAMMO! On the right hand side the Green Board awaits, and it’s packed with various tidbits on all manner of UNM excitement. Shows for which to audition, volunteer or just plain see include, but would hardly be limited to, Christopher Marlowe’s “The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus,” (or just “Faustus,” if you prefer) and “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Theatre X, SCRAP and Tricklock Center for the Arts (on campus) SCRAP Productions is UNM’s student-run theater company, more-or-less autonomous from the department, mostly interacting with it in a series of Kafkaesque precedents set by the faculty. Theatre X is located in the basement of Center for the Arts, where much of the SCRAP or Tricklock productions are housed. Tricklock is the “resident theater company of UNM” and its members spend much of their time experimenting and inventing new ways to challenge people’s sensibilities. The Vortex Theatre, 2004½ Central Ave. SE Although tied more to the CNM experience, the Vortex is close and classy, and has served up slick theater in Albuquerque for many years. It is squarely set just south of Central on Buena Vista, three blocks east of University Boulevard and within sight of the Pita Pit. This summer they perform a second annual festival of Shakespeare plays, including a post-apocalyptic “Romeo and Juliet.” You don’t necessarily need to glue feathers to your gimpy leather jackets and football equipment to go see it, but if you do, The Daily Lobo will bring the Thunderdome.

Farm-fresh food delivery by JosĂŠ M. EnrĂquez

New Student Orientation 2011 / Page 13

Daily Lobo Mini Coups

jenriq01@unm.edu

There may be a way to support local farmers, eat better food and avoid the â&#x20AC;&#x153;freshman 15.â&#x20AC;? The answer is fresh, local and healthy food, and thanks to Community Supported Agriculture programs (CSAs) it can come directly to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors. With CSAs, people pay a fee to a farm and buy shares in its production. As a return of that investment, supporters will periodically receive a box of fresh, locally grown, high-quality food. Jesse Daves of Amyo Farms graduated from UNM in 2000 and has been farming for 10 years. This is the second year Amyo Farms has been a CSA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone can live like a king,â&#x20AC;? Daves said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I feel that everyone can eat like a king.â&#x20AC;? Daves said eating higher-quality foods leads to a higher quality of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You develop that taste for really fresh, good food and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to carry you through a life time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be healthy, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to feel better, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to enjoy your life more.â&#x20AC;? Molly Waters, an intern for Los Poblanos Organics, one of the larger CSAs in the state, said that purchasing local food helps students become more independent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying a box every week almost forces you to use items,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just having a box of fresh produce at your house there for you to grab and cook. You learn how to cook kohlrabi because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the box, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something new to try.â&#x20AC;? Getting your food from a local source also allows you to see where the food comes from, said Christine Chavez, of Valley Flower Farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here locally, you can come to the farm and you can view it and you can see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on at the farm,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know where your food is coming from.â&#x20AC;? Becoming a member of a CSA typically costs $25-30 per week, or $600 dollars for a 24-week season. This is to cover the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses during the growing season.

Ikebana and the nature of fleeting beauty

Zach Gould/Daily Lobo Yayoi Tamida arranges flowers as part of an Ikebana ceremony. Ikebana is a Japanese art form in which temporary, organic sculptures are created and then thrown away.

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

Rooted in Shinto and Buddhist traditions is an art form based on the fleeting beauty of flowers. Ikebana (pronounced ik-uhbahn-uh) is the Japanese art of floral arrangement. Mary Burnett de Gomez, owner of Hanayagi: The Japanese Garden Shop, said the practice fundamentally differs from the Western conception of NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

flower arranging. “That’s kind of a Germanic, Western feeling that if you create something, it’s not going to have any value unless it lasts forever,” she said. “But the Japanese don’t think that way. In this particular art form, it’s more the doing of it.” The form and materials used to create it depend on whether the artist studied with a traditional or contemporary school, she said. Burnett de Gomez, who studied

with a contemporary school and teaches an Ikebana class at Hanayagi, said contemporary schools free students from the standards and boundaries implemented in traditional schools. Students are often inspired by the arrangement’s container, the natural materials that are in season and the environment the arrangement is to be admired in, she said. The practice of Ikebana is inspired by the life cycle of the cherry blossom, which symbolizes death to the Japanese, blooming every spring and departing suddenly with the spring winds, she said. “It’s a symbol of how short, but how beautiful, life is and to think of every moment as being precious,” she said. “It’s the same thing in Ikebana. The students are taught to enjoy this beautiful arrangement for just a short time.” Tomoko Parry, one of Burnett de Gomez’s students, said that while composing the arrangement (a process that takes about an hour), students focus on the simple allure of nature. “It puts you in a serene place where you can feel yourself breathe in and breathe out,” she said. “It gives you a moment of peace in a modern, hectic lifestyle.”

Burnett de Gomez said Ikebana — as with any art form — is an ongoing learning experience for the artist. The notion of an endless journey filled with finite moments of unmitigated beauty is what motivates Parry to continue honing her craft, she said. “It is not something you can learn overnight,” she said. “‘The Way of the Flowers’ is the road without end. That sounds challenging, but everything worth doing is challenging, isn’t it?” Once students have a grasp on basic design principles like color, texture, line, form and shape, they can begin creating arrangements. Typically, the arrangements are asymmetrical, Burnett de Gomez said, and it’s also common for elements of all life stages to be integrated in one arrangement. “In Ikebana arrangements you see elements that are very new, like a bud that hasn’t opened yet,” she said. “You will see a fullblown flower, and then you might also see something that’s aged like a dried piece of driftwood or a leaf that’s dried.” Similar to drawing, the artists are instructed to consider both empty and filled space, and imperfections are not discouraged.

“Maybe a leaf that’s a little bit torn or has a hole in it, a Western arranger would throw that out as being not perfect,” Burnett de Gomez said. “But to an Ikebana artist, that brings a thought that maybe a cricket came and ate that leaf. So there’s a little bit of poetic thought going on.” Students will spend time photographing or drawing their completed arrangements after Burnett de Gomez has critiqued each of them. After a brief appreciation period, the arrangement is disposed of, teaching students how to let go. “They are taught to enjoy this beautiful arrangement for just a very short time,” she said. “But then they have learned how to make another one, and so it’ll go away and to let go of it and then they can create another.”
