UNM supports students after overturning of Roe v. Wade By Annya Loya @annyaloya Since the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, women and people with uteruses have faced uncertainty across the nation. Since the ruling, 44 states have banned abortion after a certain point in pregnancy, with 17 banning it entirely. For New Mexico, abortion is still legal at any stage

of pregnancy. Resource centers from the University of New Mexico, such as the Women’s Resource Center and the Division for Equity and Inclusion, stated their support for people affected all over the country and UNM students in particular. “We are not interested in debating the critical and lifesaving nature of this human right, but even if you don’t support abortion, we support you. We know

abortions cannot be stopped, but we deserve laws that make abortions safe, accessible and affordable. There is a lineage of women and people who have always made abortions available to one another. If you or someone you know needs an abortion, do not give up,” read a statement from the WRC Instagram page. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published in the

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO New York Times, the majority of people who’ve had abortions are between their early and late 20s. Ages 25-29 represent 29% of abortion patients and ages 20-24 represent 28%. Student Health and Counseling at UNM is also showing its support for students by combining medical services along with mental health and behavioral services, according to Dr. James Wilterding, co-medical director at SHAC. “Of course, we’re paying close attention to the impact this decision has had on the students, the patient population that we serve, and we’re keenly aware this rollback in access to care is a threat to the individual,” Wilterding said. While SHAC does not perform either medical or surgical abortion, they do provide other comprehensive reproductive

health care services, alongside a full range of contraceptive services and counseling, according to Wilterding. SHAC can also help refer students facing pregnancies to prenatal care and help them find proper care. Wilterding acknowledged the influx of patients New Mexico faces, creating challenges for local individuals and longer wait times. To further help students, SHAC is coordinating with the dean of students, the WRC and other resource centers on an ongoing collaboration to lower barriers to care, primarily for students but also for faculty. The WRC supports pregnant people and people that don’t want to be pregnant by conducting an advocacy center which allows individuals to navigate any type of trauma, especially gender-based trauma, and re-

LOBO OPINION REVIEW: ‘Obvious Child’ brings abortion to the rom-com The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895

By Sierra Martinez @DailyLobo Gillian Robespierre’s 2014 romantic comedy “Obvious Child” seamlessly portrays the difficult realities of young adult life, complete with heartbreak, job instability and unplanned preg-

nancy. “Obvious Child,” with its frank discussion of abortion and reproductive rights, earns a solid place alongside other romantic comedies like Michael Showalter’s 2017 film “The Big Sick,” handling serious issues with heart, thought and care, while remaining funny and alive all the while.

The film concerns a young fledgling stand-up comedian named Donna Stern (Jenny Slate), who, after being cheated on, broken up with and informed that the bookstore she works at is mere weeks away from closing, is left to pick up the pieces of her slowly crumbling life. In the midst of a downward spi-

ral filled with booze and light stalking of her ex, Donna meets a man named Max (Jake Lacy), who is kind, considerate and enjoys Donna’s immature sense of humor. After a one-night stand results in an unplanned pregnancy, the film’s direction is set. Sprinkled with heart-wrenching moments, “Obvious Child” is lent a relatability that balances hardship with humor through Slate’s performance as Donna, whose unwavering decision to get an abortion provides much of the film’s emotional core. After her doctor confirms her pregnancy, Donna asks to receive an abortion without hesitation. Even when informed of the availability of other options, Donna’s mind remains unchanged. It is during this scene — as Donna sits in the sterile hospital room, surrounded by infographics, consumed by artificial light and crying over the cost of the procedure she undoubtedly knows she needs — that many viewers have the opportunity to see themselves in Donna. The romantic comedy genre tends to feel saturated with the notion of “happily ever after” and doing all it takes to “make it work,” even as it relates to unwanted pregnancy. More often than not, unintentional or unwanted pregnancies are at first met with shock but ultimately result in carrying the pregnancy to term. The question of “What do you want to do?” is almost never raised and if it is, the immediate answer is to reorient one’s life to accommodate a baby. It is for this reason that Robe-

spierre’s “Obvious Child” is so vital to the genre and to movie watchers alike, as it sets itself apart from the traditional romantic comedy arc. As the country continues to reel from the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade, it is essential that we recognize the importance of choice. “Obvious Child” is a crucial addition to the canon of romantic comedies because it actively works to destigmatize abortion and highlight the support and community available to those who recieve them. This is particularly evident in the recovery room scene, as Donna sits side by side with people dressed in pink hospital gowns, all having made the same choice under varying circumstances. Rather than experiencing melancholy or regret, Donna sips her water and shares a brief and telling smile with a woman across the room, as if to signal a sense of solidarity and hope. While much of the point of romantic comedies is to make the viewer feel good through escapism and unrealistic circumstances, there is a desperate need for films within the genre to bring us that same feeling by showing us that we are not alone in our experiences and that we are each deserving of a happy ending. Lucky for us, “Obvious Child” does just that.

REVIEW: ‘Unpregnant’ falls flat in its own storyline By Elizabeth Secor @esecor2003 Rachel Lee Goldenberg’s “Unpregnant,” released in September 2020 on HBO Max, follows a newly pregnant 17-year-old Veronica (Haley Lu Richardson) and her exbest friend Bailey (Barbie Ferreira), as they travel across the country from Missouri to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The duo’s aim is for Veronica to get an abortion without parental consent. The film entertains, but it ultimately falls flat both in cohesion of storyline and in making a statement on abortion. This film could have benefited from being a miniseries — six episodes rather than a feature-length film. Perhaps an expanded version of the story could’ve better explored the emotional depths of Veronica’s decision. The events in

“Unpregnant,” however, unfold episodically instead of flowing into one another. For example, in one scene, two seemingly important characters are introduced to our heroes in Texas, only for them to never reappear. The next scene then sees Bailey and Veronica being kidnapped by a hyper pro-life couple bent on stopping Veronica from getting an abortion — there’s little connection between plot moments other than our two main characters. Another issue with the film is Richardson and Ferreira having no on-screen chemistry. Instead of feeling like ex-best friends brought back together by the pregnancy, they feel like neighbors who politely nod to each other and haven’t spoken in the 20 years they’ve been neighbors. They never seem to grow closer during the movie or

have any interactions that feel like genuine friendship. Even the end where they supposedly reconnect feels forced and awkward. With these two actresses, this feels like a failure on the writer’s part, considering how phenomenal they typically are. I adore Richardson in “The Edge of Seventeen,” and Ferreira is a fan favorite on “Euphoria” for a reason. You’d think “Unpregnant” would rock simply because of its casting, but ultimately, it falls short, even as the actresses give it their all. Richardson does an excellent job of portraying a teen forced to face the decision of having a child or getting an abortion. In one of my favorite scenes, Veronica launches into a fraught monologue about how she shouldn’t have to travel just to get an abortion without her parent’s permission. The monologue was exciting and had the

emotion I wish the writers and director held throughout the entire film instead of just in that scene. One last thing I could have done without is the source of Veronica’s pregnancy. Her boyfriend knew the condom broke and didn’t tell her until she informed him she was pregnant a month later. Though the film acknowledges his actions as wrong, they’re still not treated as seriously as they should have been. Overall, the film was entertaining and emotional, if by the barest

For the upcoming semester, SHAC has also added three mental health counselors thanks to extra funding from the University. Besides providing resources for students, SHAC is also advocating for an equitable health care system that works for everybody. “We have very clear public health data, epidemiological data, that shows a restriction in access to abortion doesn’t actually reduce abortions. It just causes very unsafe situations

that threaten the health of those individuals who may be pregnant,” Wilterberg said. SHAC will also offer emergency contraception at the UNM pharmacy without a prescription from a medical provider for students who qualify. Those who don’t can access an alternative through a clinic appointment. Both the WRC and SHAC offer counsel and guidance for abortion care access to students who wish to terminate their pregnancies.

University lacks support for student parents By Madeline Pukite @maddogpukite The University of New Mexico sold its Student Family Housing apartment complex to Central New Mexico Community College in September 2021 for $1.5 million, leaving limited resources available for student parents at UNM. 26% of students enrolled in universities and colleges across New Mexico are student parents, with 44% being single mothers, according to Emily Wildau, a Research and Policy Analyst for NM Voices for Children. “There’s a constant juggling of time and resources, and there’s often a feeling that there’s just never enough of me, of my time, of my energy and … material re-

sources to go around. There’s always ends that don’t meet and needs that aren’t met.” Melissa Bendt, a graduate worker, student and parent in the American studies program at UNM, said. Only 8% of single mothers graduate within six years despite typically having higher GPAs, according to Wildau. She also mentioned the lack of accommodations available to student parents. “Having spaces for breastfeeding mothers or breastfeeding people to go and just making it clear that like, in a counselor’s office, there’s like kids books or something, you know — things to really just make them feel like they’re supposed to be there,” Wildau said.

present difficulties for graduate student workers. The Office of Graduate Studies policy provides two weeks of paid medical leave, which only the birthing parent can use during that time; any other leave is conditional depending on the department, according to Alana Block, a graduate worker and United Graduate Workers of UNM organizer. One student, who wished to remain anonymous, said her department has allowed her the ability to take as much time off after birth as she wished. Her advisor informed her the time taken off would not be considered positively or negatively in her evaluation, but the lack of a strict timeline to return left the student feeling disregarded. “...

It’s like, it’s affecting me if you don’t take that into consideration and act like it doesn’t happen,” she said. Because of that, the student only wound up taking four weeks’ leave before returning

to work, fearing the perception that her absence meant she wanted to quit or leave. Since then, she has also not had child care and has been on the UNM Children’s Campus day care waitlist for about a year. Currently, the UNM Children’s Campus waitlist is made up of 40% students — predominantly graduate students, according to UNM spokesperson Cinnamon Blair.

Women’s Resource Center provides support, advocacy

By Sierra Martinez @DailyLobo Since its inception, the Women’s Resource Center at the University of New Mexico has worked tirelessly to create a space that makes individuals feel less alone on the busy UNM campus and continues to adapt to the needs of all students. The WRC prides itself on accessibility and inclusion, in addition to continuously evolving to better serve UNM students. One of the most well-known and unique services provided by the center is confidential advocacy, according to Michelle Dugan, a campus advocate at the WRC. “If a student came to talk to us about something related to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment — we don’t need to report that student’s name. We can help them figure out next steps, get support, access resources, and we don’t need to report their identity to

the University. That’s unique,” Dugan said. The WRC also offers other services under their mental health collaborative, including social work and free counseling, to staff and students. The counseling service, which is overseen by Ivette Acevedo-Weatherholtz and consists of several graduate student counselors, will continue to expand this year in partnership with El Centro de la Raza and will be offered in Spanish in addition to English, according to WRC Interim Director Áine McCarthy. Although UNM does not have a social work program, social worker and program specialist Miquela Ortiz-Upston oversees a team of graduate student interns from Highlands and New Mexico State University that is accessible to UNM students. This team assists with case management, resource navigation, applying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, getting public benefits like food stamps, electronic benefit transfer, Medicaid and child care assistance, ac-

cording to McCarthy. Dugan noted the importance of the social work team, as they are able to support students through a variety of processes. “Maybe folks are looking for housing options … setting up a bank account, looking into whether they want a credit card, applying for health insurance, finding a doctor … checking why disability benefits suddenly are not coming through in the way they were,” Dugan said. The WRC is also home to UNM’s campus grant from the Office of Violence Against Women. This grant has helped to fund the work of the Coordinated Community Response Team whose job is to expand prevention education around campus regarding sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and dating violence, according to McCarthy. With so many resources available to students, both McCarthy and Dugan highlighted the WRC’s commitment to centering students by listening to their feedback, needs and ideas for the future. If a student is in-

terested in providing feedback, Dugan suggests joining the Coordinated Community Response Team Student Advisory Board. “[It’s] a group made up of students because we don’t want to be making programming or updating programming without student input,” Dugan said. Although the WRC oftens acts as a hub of resources to people in crisis, the staff members at the center strive each day to inspire community, joy and a sense of belonging among people who want and need it. One of the fun initiatives created by the staff is called “crafternoons” which gives students an opportunity to build community, listen and be listened to while participating in a fun activity, according to administrative assistant Gisell Cereceres. “We try to make this place like home for students and anyone who comes in … There are sometimes people that come in and they just need to be listened to,” Cereceres said. On a day-to-day basis, the center also offers students free

History of abortion legislation in New Mexico By John Scott

that another good reason to allow us into the Union?’” Withycombe said. A subsequent law in 1919 altered the 1907 law, changing abortion to a felony punishable with a fine between $500 and $2,000. An abortion resulting in the death of the mother, however, would still be considered seconddegree muder, according to an article from a 1970 issue of the Natural Resources Journal written by Jonathan B. Sutin. With the 1950s, states throughout the U.S. began to retool their abortion laws to allow for “therapuetic abortions,” but these still came with their own roadblocks, according to Withycombe. “(A therapeutic abortion) might be to save the woman’s life or to prevent any sort of illness or injury to a particular woman. But in most states, what they do is they set up these hospital boards. So a pregnant person has to appeal to this board … and prove to these — all white men, by the way — that their life or health is in danger. And, usually, the board said no,” Withycombe said. New Mexico wouldn’t alter their law until 1964, however. The new law would establish “criminal” and “permissive” abortions. Criminal abortions would be punished as a second-degree felony and criminal abortions resulting in the death of the mother as a fourth-degree felony. A permissive abortion allowed abortions in the case of preserving the health of the mother in consulation with two physi-

@JScott050901 On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court released their opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The opinion overturned both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, two landmark cases which affirmed the constitutional right to an abortion. For people in every state across the country, including New Mexico, the decision raises questions as to the legality of abortion for where they live. Abortion laws in New Mexico date back all the way to 1907 with the criminzalization of abortions performed after “quickening,” or when a woman would first feel motion from the child — generally around the fourth month of pregnancy. Abortion would be punishable under a charge of second-degree murder, according to Shannon Withycombe, an assistant professor of history who specializes in history of women’s health and reproduction. The law could have been passed in an attempt to further support the argument that New Mexico should become a state, as it was repeatedly denied statehood mainly due to its large Hispanic and Native American population, according to Withycombe. “I think it’s quite possible that this abortion (ban) was one of those things to be like, ‘Look, we’re just like everyone else … We are banning abortion, isn’t

cians licensed in New Mexico, according to Sutin. The problem with the 1964 law, to Withycombe, comes down to the physician input, leading physicians to rely on factors like their relationship to a woman’s husband or a woman’s race. “They might actually say no to a white woman because, they’re like, ‘There’s too many non-white people in the state. We gotta start tamping down on that. We want white women to have more babies, so we’re not gonna let you have an abortion, but we will say yes to maybe, a Hispanic woman having an abortion.’ So both of those things could happen, depending on who those physicians are,” Withycombe said. Shortly after the 1964 law was passed, a 1969 statute would expand the medical scope of permissable abortions, making it illegal for a provider to perform an abortion except in cases of rape, birth defects or to preserve the health of the mother, according to the Las Cruces Sun News. This expansion to include more specific medical determinations, though, played into the other “trap laws” present in the statute — along with requiring accreditation for hospitals to perform an abortion, consulting physicians had to now work at a hospital and could not simply be licensed in New Mexico as with previous laws, according to Withycombe. Four years later, this statute would become unenforceable when Roe v. Wade was decided in January 1973. However, the stat-

ute still remained law and could have become enforceable again if Roe was overturned. In March 2019, there was an attempt to repeal the statute, but the bill failed in the House on a 24-18 vote, acording to the same Las Cruces Sun News article. There were no other attempts to repeal it until February 2021 in which Senate Bill 10 would pass into law, repealing the long-standing ban. Historically, abortion bans have been linked to white supremacy and the supression of minority populations. New Mexico represents a unique position when looking at its bans through this lens, according to Withycombe. “That argument didn’t reach the same levels in New Mexico. Not to say there’s no white supremacists in New Mexico; that’s not the truth. But, because there’s this much longer tradition of non-white people having highplaced political power positions, it doesn’t quite work the same way … I think that’s sort of in the background of all of these laws, actually,” Withycombe said. The culture in New Mexico also represents a unique position for those in support of abortion. Withycombe specifically mentioned her time at other institutions and the difference of attitudes between students here and elsewhere. “There is this sort of assumption, a much more quicker assumption, by people who live in New Mexico, that the person sitting right next to you is going to have a completely different life experience than you … So it’s sort of harder to push these laws in New Mexico … because New Mexicans are more liable to be like, ‘Well I don’t know what their situation is’ … which is one of the reasons why some of

these anti-abortion laws have not worked in the past decade,” Withycombe said. No other legislation has come since 2021 to either affirm or restrict access to abortion in the state. On June 27, 2022, Lujan Grisham signed an executive order which prohibits the executive branch of the state government from cooperating in any investigations or legal actions surrounding abortion in the state and for the State Regulation and Licensing Department to “work with boards of professional licensure to protect abortion providers from out-of-state sanctions,” according to the Center for Reproductive Rights. As a historian, Withycombe has studied the effects of abortion bans and emphasized that these types of laws do not reduce the need for abortions, but only increase the amount of abortionrelated deaths. Withycombe also noted other reasons for these bans being passed. “The first wave of criminalization of abortion that happened in the late 1800s was about sustaining white supremacy, and I don’t think we should ignore that this round,” Withycombe said. “As much as anti-choice people talk about this being about the life of babies, I think we have a lot of examples of how there’s all kinds of other legislation that you could pass that would actually help the life of babies once they’re born. Because those aren’t around, then maybe we need to look at other reasons why this (antiabortion) legislation is being pushed and is successful.” John Scott is the editor-in-chief at the Daily Lobo.

Abortion to play key role in November elections By Madeline Pukite @maddogpukite

As election day nears, abortion rights are primed to remain a hot campaign topic. Even in states like New Mexico where there are no restrictions on the medical procedure, candidates can count on voters taking their stance on the issue into consideration, according to University of New Mexico political science professor Gabriel Sanchez. “Local elected officials using this as a mechanism to win votes: that’s the reality. Because typically, to be honest with you, abortion has not been a top voting issue for a large segment of voters in New Mexico as long as I’ve been tracking … That might change in November because the Supreme Court decision just made it much more of a big topic,” Sanchez said. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) holds a narrow 3% lead over Republican opponent Mark Ronchetti as of June 20, according to the New Mexico Political Report. Ronchetti is opossed to abortion and has made campaign promises to limit access in the state. Erica Davis-Crump’s, the cofounder of the NM Black Central

Organizing Committee, biggest fear in the upcoming election is Ronchetti, who is a familiar face to many and has “been in their homes for years.” “The biggest concern that I do have is people voting off of name recognition and not knowing what the other people, you know, stand for … People be like, ‘Oh it’s the weather man,’ and not knowing he’s a monster,” Davis-Crump said. Other factors that come into play in the state’s election is the large pro-life, Democratic, Catholic voting block in the state. In states like Colorado, Catholic churches have formally taken stances in elections, and while that hasn’t happened in New Mexico, it is something to watch, according to Sanchez. “We don’t think of (churches) as elected official stakeholders, but in reality they think they have a lot of sway,” Sanchez said. Other elections aside from the Governor’s race to pay close attention to are county races. “I mean, the question is, what can a county do? You’re already starting to see those battle lines, right, on other issues: voting rights, gun rights,” Sanchez said. “The history of New Mexico conservative counties doing all they can to just be a

The discrimination faced by student parents is another reason Bendt said she is calling for the University to agree to the United Graduate Workers’ nondiscrimination clause, citing that the education system itself is built on colonialist, racist ideals made by and for men. “The University refuses nondiscrimination language in the contract, which of course hurts parents and particularly mothers and women of color, specifically. Rather than offering institutional supports against discrimination, they’re actively fighting to maintain policies that can intentionally hurt student parents,” Bendt said. The stigma around being a student parent also has a negative effect, according to Bendt. She described a few negative experiences with peers over being a student parent, like receiving side-eyes from peers when having to leave class to care for her kid, the difficulties group projects present and a feeling of general isolation, along with the toll it takes on her child. “It’s hard on kids to, you know, get dragged to evening classes … Evening child care can be particularly expensive. (It) means that then, kids can’t participate in regular kid activities. When kids

see that there isn’t flexibility for their parents, then they start to question the value of education,” Bendt said. Finding adequate housing can also present tremendous roadblocks for student parents. At many universities, students with children are not allowed to live in dormitories, which can present unique challenges, like satisfying a freshman residency requirement, according to Wildau. Bendt wishes there were more university family housing options. “I think having more options and also having an understanding that, for students who have children and families, a onebedroom or a studio apartment is already expensive, and you can’t fit a family in a studio apartment,” Bendt said. Heightened expenses also come from adding dependents to the Student Health Plan, which costs anywhere from $880 to $2,053 depending on the time of year. The accumulation of all of the expenses can lead to student parents dropping out. “A lot of times, if you have a student who’s a parent, or even just really low-income students, if a car breaks down or their laptop gets stolen, that’s when they will drop out of school because that extra expense is just too much. They have to make other

decisions to recover from that,” Wildau said. Wildau said universities could provide more services for students on campus and encourage a more welcoming environment on campus for families by including flexible office hours and degree plans that may better fit their schedules. The importance of education and support for student parents is something that Bendt said is quintessential to the community. “When student parents are left out of education, it also impacts the wider community in terms of people not having access to education and to gaining skills,” Bendt said.

kind of impediment to Democratic government. So I would anticipate that happening here in New Mexico.” Commissioner races specifically are something to pay attention to as abortion, while historically may not have been a key issue in these elections, will be now. “I can imagine a conservative county commission maybe finding ways to limit funding as it relates to abortion. Taking more, probably symbolic than anything, stances on this issue, just trying to win political points,” Sanchez said. Rural counties in the state have the most limited abortion access, which specifically impacts people of color, queer individuals and people of lower socioeconomic status. “(Barriers to access) will be exacerbated as people from other states are forced to seek care even farther from their homes. Despite the favorable political landscape, broad network of providers and rich supportive culture in New Mexico, actual access to abortion care outside of Bernalillo county has been difficult to access for years,” Angelique Karnes, communications associate for Bold Futures, wrote to the Daily Lobo.

Davis-Crump mentioned candidates like Gabe Vasquez (D) who are looking to flip the 2nd Congressional District in order to protect access. Davis-Crump is consolidating most of her concerns, though, to the governor’s race. “If there’s any changes whatsoever (to the governor), where we leave more to the GOP of New Mexico, we’re fucked. But if we can maintain — like putting Gabe Vasquez in CD two — if we can flip the seats that need to be flipped … if we can keep this up, I think we’ll be alright. But if this goes in any other direction, we’re gonna be messed up,” Davis-Crump said. The effects of the GOP winning would be felt by people beyond New Mexico, as many individuals are coming to the state to seek care. “(For many Southern states), the closest place to access is us. So, we can absolutely not afford to lose this election. And so the progressives, the left-leaning, they have to show up (to vote),” Davis-Crump said.

New Conceptions editor-in-chief plans bold strides for prestigious magazine

By Spenser Willden @spenserwillden

On April 23, the University of New Mexico Student Publications Board selected senior Sierra Martinez as the new editor-in-chief of literary arts magazine Conceptions Southwest. Martinez brings editorial experience, refined taste and a bold vision for the future to the historic magazine. Beginning in 1978, Conceptions Southwest is UNM’s premiere annual fine arts and literature magazine that accepts submissions from all members of the UNM community, including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and alumni. Conceptions takes submissions in poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, visual art,

photography and open media, an open-ended category that ranges from short films to sculptures — anything otherwise difficult to publish. Martinez, a fifth-year student majoring in English and women, gender and sexuality studies began her time with Conceptions her second year of college, right before the University closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, she has served as a staff member and managing editor on Scribendi, a national fine arts and literature magazine centered out of the UNM Honors College, and as a staff member on 2022’s issue of Conceptions under Editor-in-Chief Zoe Perls. Her prior experience with Scribendi has been essential in preparing her to edit on the 46th edition of Conceptions, according to Martinez.

“I learned how to be a leader, and I learned how to be a resource to people who weren’t as knowledgeable about the way that certain things work in the publication process,” Martinez said. “Good leadership is giving the people that you’re in charge of the space to cultivate their own skills and their own path forward and to make the experience fun and interesting, even to people who decide this isn’t for them.” Martinez hopes to expand the reach of the magazine, which has predominantly received more submissions from the undergraduate English department than any other area. “There’s a lot of untapped potential across the University. Students, faculty and staff, everyone has their hobbies and their interests

that might fall in line with what we do at Conceptions … (I want to) get the word out to the STEM people because, while maybe they’re not pursuing a degree in something relevant to the publication, a lot of them still have interests outside of school, whether that’s art or writing or whatever else,” Martinez said. Martinez also looks forward to encouraging new staff, welcome from any department, alongside returning staff members, in their UNM publications journey. “My primary goal is to extend the reach of the magazine, not only in terms of contributions, but also people being interested in partici-

pating as staff and future editors. It’s a really great opportunity that people just don’t know about,” Martinez said. Perls, who has known Martinez since kindergarten and worked above her as editor on both Scribendi and Conceptions, praised her organization, warmth and ability to work with a diverse group of people. “She has this attention to aesthetic and detail that is very pointed. She has this need to make things beautiful, both in a harmonious and aesthetic sense, but also in a people-existing sense,” Perls said. “She cares a lot about (publishing), and she knows a lot about it … She’ll

bring inclusivity and warmth to teaching these skills to a new staff.” Outside of Conceptions, Martinez is involved at Zimmerman Library and the Arita Porcelain Studio. In her little spare time, she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, specifically her two dogs, Ruby and Blossom, and finding artistic inspiration in her publishing work. After graduation, Martinez plans on combining her publications experience with her degree in women, gender, and sexuality studies to make the publishing sphere a more equitable space for women and gender-nonconforming artists. Martinez hopes to highlight their work in her piece selection along with other outward advocacy efforts. Students wishing to get involved with Conceptions Southwest can stay updated by following them on Instagram @conceptions_southwest and keeping an eye out for information regarding the first meeting, staff applications and this year’s submission deadline. Copies of last year’s edition can be found in Marron Hall and the UNM Honors College. Spenser Willden is the culture editor at the Daily Lobo.

Zara Roy selected as new editor-in-chief for Limina: UNM Nonfiction Review By Spenser Willden @spenserwillden Zara Roy has been hard at work preparing Limina: UNM Nonfiction Review for the new semester since her selection as editor-in-chief for the magazine’s upcoming 35th edition. An incoming junior studying psychology and theatre, Roy brings over three years of editorial experience to

the role, which she looks forward to taking on amongst her other responsibilities. Limina: UNM Nonfiction Review is an annual nonfiction publication that accepts submissions from undergraduate and graduate students alike, including academic essays, memoirs, photo essays, research papers and journalistic stories. Previously known as “Best Student Essays,” Limina changed names in 2020 to better reflect their content, which they view

as transformative for students and readers. Roy first became involved with Limina as a freshman, when she read about it in a departmental listserv. Since then, she has worked under two editors-inchiefs and served as managing editor for the most recent edition under Indica Simpson’s term. Having worked with Simpson and prior editor-in-chief Ally Weisel, Roy has seen firsthand

how best to approach running the magazine. “They were really good at connecting the team and delegating people out, and finding people’s strengths and allowing them to flourish in certain aspects of the job, which I think is a necessary leadership quality that I hope to develop,” Roy said. Managing editor Marcela Johnson, who joined the staff in

Fall 2021, agreed, viewing Roy’s people skills as one of the qualities that made her best suited to the role. “She’s definitely a quiet leader — not unassertive, she can take charge when she needs to — but she does it in a way that doesn’t make you feel like you’re being bossed around. She’s very guiding and very helpful,” Johnson said. Working as managing editor has also helped prepare her for the challenges and updated responsibilities she expects to face this year, according to Roy. “I was able to see a lot more of the behind-the-scenes that I wasn’t seeing as a desk editor, more of the ‘this is what’s going on, this is the budget for the magazine, where it’s at in the process, what we need to do —’ deadline stuff,” Roy said. “It put me in that more substantial leadership position that was certainly a new challenge.” In addition to working on making the magazine, Roy hopes to use this year to digitize Limina’s backlog. “We have a lot of really cool articles in the archives that still, even if they’re not relevant, serve as really interesting time capsules that I’d love people to be privy to,” Roy said.

In addition to her new role as Limina editor-in-chief, Roy also works for student publications as the Daily Lobo copy editor. With her extremely limited free time, she enjoys performing and experiencing film, theatre and music and has recently taken up learning the guitar. Still, though, Limina is a priority to Roy. “The whole process of making the magazine and watching it come to life is really magical. It becomes your baby by the end of it. It’s really special to work with a team and have such a meaty collaborative process,” Roy said. Students interested in Limina can find copies in Marron Hall and the Honors College. Students looking to stay updated on the magazine can find information on their website, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook (@limina_unm). Staff applications are currently open.

balance of bringing that modern talent in with our history and it just being a focal point for all of the amazing talent we have here in a very high-end way,” Natassja Santistevan, creative director for Iconica, said. So far, the team has released two issues, selling around 50 for their first issue and selling out their second issue, nearly tripling the first issue’s numbers, according to Santistevan.

tor and communications creative manager for Iconica. “Our mission statement is that it’s open for all ages … all races, all sexualities, orientations. We wanted to not just be a platform for people to show their art, but we’re starting to even have it be a social networking platform for, not just artists here in Albuquerque, but we’re broadening up towards Santa Fe and Taos,” Ward said. The magazine accepts a variety of submissions, including photography, written works across a plethora of styles and open media, among others. In their third issue, expected to be out this fall, readers can anticipate an even larger magazine with a more edgy, punk direction and a focus on fashion, according to Ward. Santistevan is also hopeful that the quality will only increase with coming issues and is expecting the next issue to be a “showstopper.” The duo has been reaching out to Indigenous designers and artists for their upcoming issue — Ward hopes that with each issue, the sprawling, rich Indigenous tradition and culture in New Mexico is represented. “We’ve been reaching out to designers in Albuquerque … we’re reaching out to native designers from Santa Fe and showing our people who this land is for, you know. Kind of reaching back to our ancestors. I’m from Isleta, so I definitely wanna always stick to my roots about whose land we stole,” Ward said. Ward first set her sights on developing the magazine her junior year at UNM through her work at the Daily Lobo and a series of photography classes which ignited her interest in writing about and photographing fashion and arts. She then met Santistevan at a

bakery where they were working as an event coordinator. Bonding over their shared love of style, Ward approached Santistevan about collaborating on Iconica after speaking only a handful of times. “We were pretty much strangers, but I thought Natassja was probably a good match; we’re both very organized and go-getters,” Ward said. Moving forward, Santistevan hopes to further shape the magazine in the direction of other high-end publications that they are inspired by, such as BRICKS and Pop magazines, to further bring cutting-edge art and fashion to New Mexico. Both Santistevan and Ward hope to expand their magazine to become a place for networking between local artists, models, contributors and potential employers. Already, they have started connecting venues and galleries with contributors. “Our goal is just to really broaden Iconica. We want it to not just be open to our local scene, but get connected with our elders and get connected with our local mentors, and so we want it to be a platform where we help each other … just building each other up and building each other’s portfolio; we all wanna be known for something,” Ward said. The third edition of Iconica magazine is currently available for pre-order; those interested can keep up with them on Instagram @iconica.magazine and inquire about submitting works at iconicathemagazine@gmail.com.

Women’s fall sports preview By Thomas Bulger

@ThomasBulger10 Fall sports are right around the corner at the University of New Mexico and there is a lot to be excited about. This year’s women’s fall sports feature dominant and competitive teams that deserve attention and are looking to build on previous successes and continue to be a force in the Mountain West. Cross Country The women’s cross country team finished third at the NCAA finals last season and will continue to dominate the Mountain West with their 14-year winning streak in the conference. Last season, Lobo athletes swept

all seven All-Mountain West firstteam spots, with only two of them being seniors; one Lobo athlete also made second-team. Amelia MazzDownie was also awarded with the conference’s cross country Women’s Athlete of the Year award last season. Last year’s team also had three All-American athletes — Emma Heckel, Gracelyn Larkin and Stephanie Parsons — who had times of 19:45, 19:47 and 19:58 and finished 18th, 21st and 36th, respectively. Head coach Joe Franklin won the conference’s Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year award last season and will continue to lead the team in the upcoming season. The team will have a lot to look forward to this season, as they will be competing for the NCAA title

once again. You can catch the cross country team at the Lobo Invitational, an all-day event starting at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. The event features both collegiate and high school teams. Volleyball The UNM volleyball team had an impressive turnaround season last year, finishing 20-10 and going to the quarterfinals in the Mountain West tournament. They look to continue their success with the addition of UNM volleyball alumnus Carly Beddingfield as the new director of volleyball operations. The team also added Dan Corotan, who will act as the team’s offensive coordinator and assistant coach. For the roster, the Lobos acquired setter Anilee Sher from Rider Uni-

versity via transfer as well as seven incoming freshmen. The team has maintained last year’s successful core of top scorers: Kaitlynn Biassou, Uxue Guereca and Kali Wolf. The team will need to improve on defense after being first in the conference in opponent hitting percentage and opponent service aces. An improved defense, combined with their high scoring offense, should be enough to push them over the edge to earn some more conference wins after already having a good 2021 season, being 11-7 in conference play. The team will look to repeat last season’s success and contend in the Mountain West. They start their season in an exhibition game against New Mexico Highlands University at The Pit on Aug. 20 at 1:00 p.m. Soccer UNM’s women’s soccer team won the Mountain West last season with a 14-5-2 record, the first time they won the conference since 2011. They also had an impressive 6-1 home record. The team led the conference in scoring average with 1.905 goals per game and held their opponents to just 1.29 goals per game, the largest margin in the conference. On the roster they have Jaydn Edwards, who led the conference in scoring with 11 goals and was second in assists with nine. Zaria Katesigwa was second in the conference in scoring, earning 10 goals on the season. Goalie Emily Johnson graduated though, so the team will look to freshmen Callie Droitsch and Alli Davis to fill in that spot on the roster. Head coach Heather Dyche will lead her eighth season as head coach and will now be joined by volunteer assistant coach Beth Lebel, who has previous head coaching experience at Colby College in Maine. The Lobos will host this year’s

Mountain West tournament, which will take place over Nov. 1-5. The team will start play versus Rutgers at the Lobo Invitational on Aug. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Golf The women’s golf team finished second last season at the Mountain West Championship and participated at the NCAA Albuquerque Regional. The team consistently finished in the top half of teams at courses and will try to build off that success as they head into the 2022-23 season after winning the conference in the 2021 season. The team is led by seniors Lauren Lehigh and Jenny Lertsadwattana. Lehigh led the team in average with 74.03 and tied for third in the conference championship, being even with par. Lertsadwattana had her best game last season at the Branch Law Firm/ Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque where she finished an impressive seven under par, securing third place. The team has been consistently honored with the All-Scholar team GPA award, having earned it four years in a row. The roster had an impressive combined GPA of 3.961. They are led by head coach Jill Trujillo who won the conference coach of the year award in 2021. She has been the head coach since 2007. The women’s golf team will play at the Dick Mcguire Invitational in Albuquerque over Sept. 12-13. UNM will be well represented this season throughout these different sports in the Mountain West.

A bicycle lies on a rack outside of UNM’s Johnson Gym.

By Zara Roy @zarazzledazzle With summer still in session and the weather ripe for cycling, the University of New Mexico has kicked off a series of bicycle mainteinance workshops specifically targeted towards women, trans and nonbinary people, and allies. The goal is to create a comfortable space for femme people to learn the mechanics of their bike. The free program, which takes place at the UNM Outdoor Adventure Center, runs from 5-7 p.m. every Tuesday and Wednesday from July 13 to Aug. 14. The unique workshops cover a variety of different aspects of bicycle mechanics over the course of a month. “Throughout the series our mechanics cover everything you would need to know to do an advanced tune up on your bike and add in a fun shop ride midway through the series.

begin with a basic lesson, or two, each session, expand upon that based on individual needs and allow time toward the end of each session to cover any bike issues that participants may be experiencing,” Charles Gwinn, outdoor program manager for UNM Recreation Services, wrote to the Daily Lobo. The workshops were first started by UNM alumni Caroline Heitman in spring 2022 before being expanded this summer. The most recent workshop on July 13 and 14 taught community members all about maintenance of their bike chain as well as the different mechanisms of the chain. During this week’s sessions on July 27 and 28, the group will be riding to the Days in the Park celebration, a community-organized series of events where local vendors and musicians visit parks across town. “The origin comes from a former staff member/UNM graduate, Caroline Heitman and a friend of hers. They wanted to create a space

where folks could come together and learn about bikes in a comfortable setting. I couldn’t be more thankful for the foundation they created,” Gwinn wrote. Gwinn emphasized that as well as teaching practical skills, the workshops are also an opportunity to foster community among like-minded folks in an inclusive, safe environment. “We want to make bike maintenance/education and riding more accessible to everyone. We are proud to be able to create a space that encourages community, open mindedness and gets more people riding bikes,” Gwinn wrote. A full calendar and description of weekly events can be found on the UNM Recreational Services Instagram page. Zara Roy is the copy chief at the Daily Lobo.
