Football: Lobos rush their way to victory against New Mexico State

By Rodney Prunty @rprunty05

The University of New Mexico Lobos battled in a heated football game against crosstown rivals the New Mexico State University Aggies on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Lobos proved too much to handle for NMSU as they dominated on the field with a relentless rushing attack.

The Lobos had a total of 331 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. The defense performed when needed, assisting the Lobos with their first win of the season and defeating the Aggies 50-40.

The first quarter was a feel-it-out quarter for both sides. The Lobos’ defense came out and forced a quick three-and-out, getting the ball to their offense. Their first offensive possession looked to be in jeopardy early, as the Lobos found themselves in a third-and-20.

In a play by the Lobos, quarterback Devon Dampier and the offense maintained control over the field, with Dampier throwing a 44-yard pass to wide receiver Caleb Medford to keep the drive going.

That splash play was huge for the Lobos as they continued to drive into Aggie territory. The Lobos capped off the drive with a touchdown run by running back NaQuari Rogers. NMSU responded to the Lobos’ score as they found the end zone themselves on their next possession, getting an 84-yard run for a score.

The rest of the first quarter was uneventful, and both teams were tied at

7 points going into the second quarter.

Both teams’ first possessions of the second quarter ended up in punts. Following another stop by the Lobo defense on NMSU’s second drive, the Lobo offense found its groove. On the second offensive possession for the Lobos, Dampier zipped a 41-yard pass to wide receiver Nic Trujillo with yet another splash play the Lobos capitalized, and Dampier ran the ball into the end zone to finish the drive.

The next time the defense took the field, it stood tall and forced the Aggies off the field again. The offense

kept the momentum going, as the Lobos drove down the field with ease and Dampier scored another rushing touchdown with under 20 seconds to go in the half.

The Aggies did not go into the half empty-handed, as they stole 3 points just at the end of the quarter. The Lobos led 21-10 going into halftime.

The second half was a scoring frenzy for the Lobos. To start the third quarter, they came out with another scoring drive as Dampier and the offense drove down the field once again. Dampier then found his way into the end zone for the third time in the game.

On the next Aggies drive, the Lobos responded quickly and cut the game to 10. On the following Lobo possession, they extended the lead as they settled for 3. They rode a 30-17 lead going into the fourth.

When the fourth quarter started, no punches were held back by either team. The Aggies scored 3 points right back on their following possession, keeping the deficit within 10. The Lobos responded by finding the end zone again.

Dampier set the Lobos up with another chunk play to Medford and Rogers punched it in for a score. The

by City Councilor Joaquín Baca. He represents District 2, which encompasses Downtown and other parts of Albuquerque.

The bill aims to promote walkability in Downtown by “prohibiting the misuse of sidewalks,” as well as address vacant buildings and “dilapidated” commercial property, O-24-42 reads.

The “No Obstruction Zone” ordinance included in O-24-42 aims to “promote the safe and enjoyable use of pedestrian pathways by regulating sidewalks and footpaths,” according to the bill. The bill proposes a $100 fine or community service for obstructing the sidewalk or pedestrian footpath in a manner that is prohibited under the ordinance.

This prohibited conduct would include “sleeping, sitting, kneeling, crouching or lying down along or across the sidewalk, in a way that infringes upon lawful pedestrian use, unless due to a medical emergency,” according to the bill.

Lobos missed on the extra point attempt but it did not matter, as the rest of the game was a back-and-forth scoring affair.

The Lobos landed the finishing blow up 43-33, with two minutes left to play. Rogers — for the third time in the game — found the end zone, running it in from 29 yards out. NMSU did get a late score, but it was just for show, as the Lobos ultimately won the game.

The Lobos’ victory over NMSU certified head coach Bronco Mendenhall’s first win with the Lobos. Before coming to UNM, Mendenhall had not coached a game since a hiatus in 2021.

A major factor that helped the Lobos get the win was Rogers, who was the workhorse for the run game. Rogers carried the ball 21 times for 122 yards and had three touchdowns to finish the night.

The Lobos’ turnaround in performance can be attributed to confidence, cornerback Noah Avinger said.

“The biggest thing was just keeping our confidence high. Just seeing we are capable and we can be consistent,” Avinger said.

This week, the Lobos get to ride high on this victory and rest up. The week after, they have an in-conference meeting with the Air Force Academy Falcons at University Stadium on Oct. 12.

over an hour of public comment, during which a majority of community members spoke against the “No Obstruction Zone” ordinance. They objected to the ordinance because of the impact it could have on the Downtown unhoused community.

Prior to public comment, Baca spoke about the bill to meeting attendees.

“Our most vulnerable neighbors are worthy of our compassion and our support,” Baca said. “But concentrated and visible homelessness hurts businesses and deters customers.”

Two days after the council meeting, community members marched Downtown from Robinson Park to Civic Plaza for a “Right to Rest” rally — initially planned before the bill was proposed. Protesters chanted “Homes, not sweeps” and “It’s not a crime to not have a home.”

Under O-24-42, “carrying banners or signs, upon the sidewalk or footpath which actually causes an obstruction on the sidewalk or foot-

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Bernalillo County’s automated speed enforcement cameras began sending citations to drivers caught speeding.

The cameras were installed nearly a year and a half after Bernalillo County commissioners passed an ordinance to bring a software company to the county to curb speeding, according to the county website.

When the cameras first started operating in August, warnings were sent through the mail to drivers caught speeding. The county was not yet charging fines or sending citations for speeding caught on the cameras, according to the website.

Now, drivers caught speeding in these zones will face a $100 citation or have the option to lower the fine to $25 if they complete four hours of community service with the BernCo Clean Team, the website reads.

The cameras have been placed in the most dangerous intersections in Albuquerque using government data, according to the website.

During a Sept. 23 press conference, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said the city has seen a “dramatic impact” from the speed cameras.

“We really appreciate that the county is joining us and filling in some of the gaps outside city limits,” Keller said during the press conference.

In 2021 alone, 12,330 people in the United States died in crashes where speed was a contributing factor, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

According to KRQE, Albuquerque has seen a 90% decrease in speeding 10 mph or more over the speed limit in the zones where cameras are installed.

UNM first-year student Nicholas Moralez said this choice could be beneficial, depending on where the community service option is located.

“It’s a good thing. It would just depend on where you’re going, like if they put you in an unsafe environment,” Moralez said. “I’m not from here, so if I was to have to do community service here that I don’t feel comfortable in, then that would be an annoyance.”

Moralez said he feels that police officers should still be the ones to hand out the citations because they can use their discretion when citing.

“I understand (the officer) can’t catch everybody speeding, but from that standpoint, I feel like an officer could catch the ones that are doing it bad,” Moralez said.

UNM senior Carldon Pascual said he does not mind the cameras.

“It’s better to just have cameras to track people instead of having an actual officer tracking the traffic,” Pascual said. “I feel like it’s a better use of resources for the officers.”

Every mile-per-hour speed reduction by drivers is a 17% reduction in fatal crashes, Keller said during the press conference.

“This is about safety, and people need to go the speed limit,” Keller said.

The cameras are installed in the following zones:

Northbound and southbound

• Isleta Boulevard: between Montrose Place and Arenal Road — northbound

• Isleta Boulevard: between Brother Road and Sunbeam Road — southbound

and Congress Avenue — northbound and southbound Eastbound and westbound

• Paradise Boulevard and Radcliffe Road — eastbound and westbound

• Bridge Road: between Old Coors Drive and Atrisco Drive — eastbound and westbound Arenal Road: between Isleta Boulevard and Tapia Boulevard — eastbound and westbound

The county has plans to install more cameras at the following locations pending approval from the New Mexico Department of Transportation: Northbound and southbound

• Coors Boulevard: between Gun Club Road and Rio Bravo Boulevard — northbound Coors Boulevard: between Sage and Tower Road — northbound

• Dennis Chavez Boulevard: between Condershire Drive and Coors Boulevard — northbound and southbound

• Tramway Boulevard: between Tramway Terrace Place and San Rafael Avenue — northbound Eastbound and westbound

• Alameda Parkway: between Rio Grande Boulevard and Guadalupe Trail — westbound

On the weekend of Saturday, Sept. 28, the New Mexico Heritage Rail hosted the second annual Railroad Days event, showcasing a restored 80-year-old steam train.

The star of the event — held at the Albuquerque Rail Yards and adjacent Wheels Museum — was the ATSF 2926. According to the New Mexico Heritage Rail website, the train was originally built in 1944 and retired in 1956. From there, it was left abandoned in Coronado Park for decades, according to Ed Burggraf, a volunteer with the restoration.

“It was essentially a rust bucket

at the time. So we started out removing the rust, and then had to remove the asbestos that was the insulation on the engine, and paint everything and put it back together,” Burggraf said. “And that has taken us since we bought the locomotive (in) 1999 for $1 from the City of Albuquerque. They didn’t want to pay for the asbestos removal, so we took care of that.”

The train ran “under her own steam power again” for the first time in 2021, Burggraf said. The repair and refurbishment cost over $1 million and was entirely funded by donations from the community, according to Burggraf.

The 2926 is a 4-8-4 steam loco-

Lobo statue found covered in red paint and keffiyeh

On Sept. 13, the University of New Mexico Police Department discovered that red paint had been poured on a lobo statue near Hodgin Hall.

The statue, which stands at the corner of University Boulevard and Central Avenue, was wrapped in a keffiyeh — a symbol of Palestinian identity and solidarity, according to Al Jazeera.

In a statement to the Daily Lobo, UNMPD Public Information Officer

Larry Bitsoih wrote that when a patrolling officer found the statue, the red paint that had been used was placed next to it. There is no information on who was involved, and the case is considered closed, Bitsoih wrote.

Daniela del Mar, a UNM graduate student, described the incident as a “creative intervention.”

“Community and students feel desperate to be seen and be heard

… I think that sense of wanting to be heard is coming out in these creative, public, visible ways,” del Mar said.

Andre Montoya-Barthelemy, faculty member at the UNM School of Medicine, said he was not surprised by the action.

“The administration really hasn’t made any moves toward opening up dialogue for the (Israel divestment) movement, and it makes sense that somebody would try to get (the administration’s) and the community’s attention in a different way,” Montoya-Barthelemy said.

Since fall 2023, some students, alumni, faculty members and community members have called for a ceasefire in Gaza and for UNM to divest from Israeli companies.

In May, UNM President Garnett Stokes told protesters that their requests were “far more complex than (they) recognize.”

In 1985, UNM divested from gold mines in apartheid South Africa.

Ten days before the incident, a similar act occurred at Columbia University, where protesters

path,” would be prohibited.

Legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico Maria Martinez Sanchez said this language prompts First Amendment concerns.

The current language in the bill “would make the city vulnerable to a legal challenge,” Martinez Sanchez said.

On Friday, Sept. 20, Baca told the Daily Lobo he plans to remove this portion of the bill. It was an oversight resulting from adopting similar policies from other United States cities, including Las Vegas, he said.

“We’ll take that out, and we’ll explicitly say that you can exercise your First Amendment right,” Baca said.

James Freeman, director of homeless service provider HopeWorks New Mexico, spoke during public com-

ment and attended the rally. Freeman said the City wants to send several unhoused people from Downtown to the Gateway West housing center 20 miles outside of Albuquerque.

“I actually stayed there for five months when I was homeless, and it’s not a kind place,” Freeman said.

Martinez Sanchez said Gateway West lacks resources unhoused people rely on. Baca said the City is trying to increase the services available at the shelter.

Ilse Biel, a community organizer, said she does direct outreach with the unhoused community.

“Most of the solutions that are offered are a brick-and-mortar little hole in a larger complex. People on the streets have their community. If

poured red paint on the “Alma Mater” sculpture, according to Hyperallergic. College campuses across the U.S. have heightened restrictions on protesting for the fall semester. Some universities have banned encampments, increased security and limited allowable areas and time frames for protesting, according to PBS.

“UNM students have a history of protesting apartheid,” del Mar said. “So if the ways in which we try to make ourselves in our rights as students heard continue to be limited, then what choices do we have?”

Montoya-Barthelemy has observed UNM’s recent actions relating to free speech on campus, he said.

“On a pretty regular basis, they’ve been sending out reminders about the free speech policy on campus … I haven’t noticed any changes, but as much as it’s remained static, it really depends on how the administration decides to employ it and how they decide to enforce it,” Montoya-Barthelemy said.

they move into an apartment, they lose that street community,” Biel said.

Manuel Fernandez, an unhoused person who has been living on the streets of Downtown for 15 years, said he thinks there are more important things for the City to focus on — like getting treatment for the unhoused community. He has had two good friends die “trying to kick the blues,” he said.

“I can’t believe they even let that much fentanyl get on our streets. They should focus on that stuff,” Fernandez said.

According to Fernandez, law enforcement already stops individuals from sleeping on the Downtown streets.

“They’re harassing us. They wake you up at three in the morning.

You’re asleep, and then they say ‘APD, Albuquerque Police Department’ and then make you move your tent,” Fernandez said.

He said he gets meals from a nearby church and from community members who share food at Robinson Park.

“There’s actually good people out here still, you know. They’ll go home and make burritos, spend their money and come and bring them to us,” Fernandez said.

Fernandez said he would like to see more access to water for his community. Public restrooms would also help “100%,” he said.

“We’ve got to live here together. It’s a small world, and we’re only here for a short period of time,” Fernandez said.

As decided by the deferral, council Vice President Renée Grout, who represents District 9, wrote in a statement to the Daily Lobo that the bill and proposed amendments will be voted on during the next city council meeting on Oct. 7.

“It’s hard for me to imagine being able to support this one as it stands now,” Grout wrote.

Suspect arrested in Santa Fe after student was stabbed repeatedly

By Lauren Lifke @lauren_lifke

On Sept. 21, the University of New Mexico Police Department found a victim who had been stabbed at Lobo Village following an altercation at a party. A LoboAlert was issued to the community an hour later.

The suspect and his girlfriend fled to Santa Fe, where the Santa Fe Police Department detained both of them, according to the police report for the incident. The suspect was later taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center, and his girlfriend was released.

At about 11:20 p.m., UNMPD was dispatched to building 17 at Lobo Village in reference to a fight. As the officer was driving, he received a call that somebody had also possibly been stabbed at the scene. The officer arrived and was approached by several people, including the victim — a junior at UNM.

The victim had multiple stab wounds on his back. He told the officer he didn’t know the person

who stabbed him.

Witnesses provided different recounts, but most told UNMPD that there had been an altercation involving the suspect’s girlfriend and the victim. The suspect got involved, witnesses said. Witnesses saw the victim’s friends hit the suspect, who drew a knife and started stabbing the victim, according to the police report.

One witness went outside and saw the suspect with a bloody face after the fight. The witness asked the suspect to give him the knife, to which the suspect refused, according to the police report. The witness started to ask the suspect if he had stabbed the victim, and the suspect ran away.

The witness told UNMPD that he knew the suspect lived in Santa Fe and saw him and his girlfriend leave in a black Toyota.

When the victim was taken to UNM Hospital, police followed to interview him. The victim told the officers that after the altercation between him and the suspect began, he threw the suspect on the ground and the suspect started stabbing him.

After the responding officer went to Lobo Village and UNMH, a “be on the lookout” alert was put out to police for the car the suspect had fled in. It was sent to New Mexico State Police and the Santa Fe Police Department, according to the police report.

SFPD contacted UNMPD “a short time later” and told the department that the suspect and his girlfriend were detained at the suspect’s home in Santa Fe, according to the report. A second LoboAlert was issued at 1 a.m., stating the offender was in custody and there was no longer a threat.

The suspect was taken to a medical center in Santa Fe for his injuries. UNMPD drove there to request that the suspect provide a statement, to which he declined.

The suspect was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center.

ASUNM passes nine appropriations

German Club to celebrate fall of Berlin Wall

By Marcela Johnson @dailylobo

The Associated Students at the University of New Mexico passed nine appropriation requests, failed one appropriation request and passed six bills during its full senate meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Appropriations

The senate passed nine appropriations. Several of them were for engineering- and building-focused organizations, including appropriations for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Automotive and Motorsports Club, Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers and Society of Automotive Engineers.

The German Club also received an appropriation in part to help celebrate the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall by building a wall in Smith Plaza and breaking it down, according to the club’s form. Organizations that received other appropriations included JIM Club, dance club SLOPE and The American Medical Student Association.

An appropriation for the Pre-Optometry Society did not pass; senators discussed allowing the organization to submit an appropriation of a higher value later in the semester.

Bills

The senate passed the Balance Forwards Bill, which funds the ASUNM government and associated agencies.

The senate also passed the Fall 2024 Budget Bill, which allocates budgets to student organizations for this fiscal year.

The senate passed a series of related bills.

Bill 4F creates the requirement that senators have to send biweekly email updates to their assigned student service agency, resource center and student organizations, according to the bill’s summary. Bill 5F makes the vice president responsible for a template for these emails, and it changes the outreach duties section to reflect the bills. Bill 6F adds template creation to the president pro tempore’s responsibilities as well.

Bill 7F also passed . It clarifies the process of electing the president pro tempore.

Public comment

Several organization representatives came to advocate for their organizations during public comment. These included SLOPE, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers and the Automotive and Motorsports Club.

Associate Dean of Student Wellbeing Greg Golden spoke to the senate about a wellbeing assessment for student needs. He also mentioned the opening of the Lobo Oasis — a student wellness area.

Student Activities Center Director and ASUNM Advisor Ryan Lindquist gave a short report on Silent Lights, estimating that there had been 2,000 people present. He also requested volunteers for the Red Rally event and the Pistol Pete statue that morning.

Lindquist explained a New Mexico state law called the AntiDonation Clause, which prohibits the use of state money for personal gain. This clause applies to ASUNM

and covers materials like T-shirts, according to Lindquist.

ASUNM Student Special Events

Executive Director Andrew Norton advocated for the passing of increased SSE funding for a better entertainer budget.

El Centro de la Raza Director Rosa Isela Cervantes acted as the meeting’s guest speaker. She spoke about El Centro’s history and invited the senate to attend events and spread the center’s resources. She also encouraged attendance at its upcoming symposium on Friday, Oct. 4.

Presidential report

ASUNM President Anthony Tomaziefski reported that about 150 volunteers worked the Fall Frenzy event. During the event, volunteers planted 90 new species of trees, according to Tomaziefski.

He briefly talked about the goals of New Mexico’s legislative finance committee and the alumni association meeting. Tomaziefski also discussed the 95% increase in voter turnout from the spring presidential election to the fall homecoming election this year.

Tomaziefski called for Red Rally volunteers and gave the senate reminders about ASUNM office conduct.

Senate absences

Senators Reese Mitchell and Aizza Rehman were absent. Senators Sierra Dedmon, Adrianna Casaus and Nicholas Romero received their first demerit which earned no consequences.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the 12th annual Albuquerque Film & Music Experience began across several venues in Nob Hill, including the Guild Cinema and the Historic Lobo Theater.

According to the festival’s mission statement, AFMX brings together award-winning and up-and-coming filmmakers and musicians. The event ended on Sunday, Sept. 29. It provides “a platform for education, collaboration, discovery and the sharing of impactful stories,” its mission statement reads.

Festival-goers had three different options for which type of pass they obtained: a full festival pass, a day pass for any of the five days, or tickets to individual screenings and events.

The short films screened during AFMX were grouped together in “blocks.” Categories included “Narrative Shorts,” “Animation/ Music Video,” “Student Films” and “Indigenous Films.”

There were also several featurelength films in the AFMX lineup.

Narrative films included “The Strangers’ Case” by Brandt Andersen and “Tim Travers and the Time Traveler’s Paradox” by Stimson Snead, as well as documentaries like “The Opener” by Jeff Toye and “Goddess of Slide” by Alfonso Maiorana.

Many of the films prominently featured music and musicians in their storylines, bridging the dual focuses of the festival.

On Thursday, Sept. 26, the Guild Cinema presented six narrative shorts. The screening opened with “Two Roads,” directed by Michael Trevino, which showed a man caught between two different career paths — music and accounting.

Four more films followed before

the day’s concluding piece, P. Patrick Hogan’s “Shatter the Glass,” which portrayed a young girl who turns to music to cope with cyberbullying.

One of several AFMX concerts was held on Friday, Sept. 27 at the Nob Hill Stage at Public House ABQ and featured the band Los 33 ABQ. Nob Hill Stage owner Edgar Wonder is its frontman.

Wonder described the band as an “Albuquerque cultural experience.”

Los 33 ABQ took the stage that evening, performing a mixture of original songs and covers. Wonder said the band had not been initially slated to perform that evening, but the original band was unable to make it.

“I have a band that’s just ready to rock, so I said, ‘You know what? If those guys don’t show up, we’ll be there.’ And sure enough, they didn’t show up, so here we are,” Wonder said.

As first-time AFMX performers, Wonder said the festival organizers were easy to work and communicate with.

“We’re more than happy to do this again, and I’d love to see it grow,” Wonder said.

Festival board member Stephanie Becker said AFMX is vital to connect both university and secondary students to it.

“There are many great panels that introduce students to the intricacies of the film industry,” Becker said.

But the music component of the festival, Becker said, sets it apart.

Due to the wide variety of events that AFMX puts on, participants are able to exchange ideas and experiences with other artists, she said.

“They say our city and festival is inviting, collegial and incredibly productive for their work,” Becker said.

The football stadium at the University of New Mexico is located at 1111 University Blvd. It seats 39,224. Why do I tell you this? It’s to distinguish University Stadium from the countless other stadiums associated with universities, because the name isn’t doing that for me.

I start this by confessing that I don’t know a lot about sports. I’ve tried, at several points, to get into basketball, baseball or football, just for the sake of school spirit. No avail. All too often, I find sports confusing at best and boring at worst.

That said, I know about entertainment. I love wow-factor and branding. And, despite my difficulty getting into sports, I have always loved the iconography around UNM sports.

Lobo Louie is hands down one of

the most fun college mascots there is. I could write a whole article on how much I like that wolf — in fact, I practically have. I think the UNM logo is great. I think the UNM cheer is great. Everyone IS a Lobo.

For a team with such great branding in every other spirit sector, why is the name of our stadium just “University Stadium?”

If you travel to Louisiana State University, you’ll see a stadium nicknamed Death Valley. At the University of Florida, you will encounter the Gators playing at The Swamp.

My pitch — wrong sport, I know — is that University Stadium ought to be renamed to “The Wolf Den,” or “The Den,” colloquially. It fits better with the otherwise-strong wolf motif of the University and creates a picture that is both menacing and comforting.

No opponent would want to enter The Wolf Den; they’d know they were in trouble. And yet, it would be

a place where the Lobos instantly knew they were home.

University Stadium has a branding problem, yes. But more importantly: It has an attendance problem.

We haven’t filled all of those 39,224 seats in about 20 years, according to a list detailing its most attended games. The opening game of this season against Montana State University sold only about 12,500 tickets, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Something has to change.

I know a rename may not save us — but hey, it can’t hurt. A new name or nickname can go a long way in shining a positive light on the team and getting fans in those seats. So go Lobos, and see you at The Den. See, doesn’t that have a nice ring to it?

On Tuesday, Sept. 24, the Guild Cinema in Nob Hill screened a new restoration of the 1942 Italian film

“We the Living.” The film, directed by Goffredo Alessandrini, is an adaptation of Ayn Rand’s 1936 debut novel of the same name. Clocking in at almost three hours, “We the Living” is an epic love story set amidst the political turmoil of the post-revolution USSR.

It chronicles the love triangle that forms between three protagonists: Kira, a young engineering student who refuses to let the state mold her values; Andrei, a fellow student who is an ardent communist and a member of the Soviet secret police; and Leo, a free spirit who is wanted by the government.

The three protagonists’ intense passions and clashing values only escalate, until the film’s tragic conclusion puts an end to the cycle of secrecy and betrayal that has been

created by the fraught political climate the characters exist in.

The new restoration of the film was presented by producer Duncan Scott, along with Henry Mark Holzer. The latter, along with his late wife Erika Holzer, was an associate of Rand and rediscovered the film, leading to its American premiere in 1988 — almost four decades after its original Italian release.

“Scott devoted 2 ½ years to removing dust, scratches and other flaws” from the original film negative, according to the film’s rerelease website.

Rand came of age during the Russian Revolution, and her opposition to the Bolsheviks formed her steadfast belief in the rights of the individual, according to the Ayn Rand Institute.

In 1926, Rand emigrated to America, where, over the next several decades, she became a renowned writer. Rand wrote the seminal epics “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged” and developed her own philosophical system called Objectivism.

The core tenet of Objectivism is that it is “based not on religious faith

or on majority opinion, but on the factual requirements of human survival,” according to the Ayn Rand Institute.

Produced during World War II, “We the Living” was the highest-grossing film in Italy in 1942. While the film was made in line with Rand’s vehement anti-communist ideology, it also takes a stance on another contemporary political issue: Italian fascism and the leadership of Benito Mussolini.

The film conveys the idea that totalitarianism is wrong, no matter which side of the political spectrum it falls under. Thus, “We the Living” exists in a unique space in which it is both a conservative and progressive work.

Due to the film’s anti-fascist stance, it was banned and ordered to be destroyed by Mussolini, according to the film’s rerelease website. When required to submit the film’s negatives to the government, the filmmakers handed over different negatives, and instead hid “We the Living” — condemning it to obscurity for decades.

After the film, Scott and Holzer held a Q&A session with audience

members. Holzer, who was also a visiting professor of law at UNM in 1993, provided a deeper look into the decades-long journey to introduce “We the Living” to American audiences. He described how the original negatives were rediscovered by him and his wife: An employee at a film studio near Rome opened the trunk of a Fiat where there were film cans that held nitrate film, Holzer said. Nitrate is a highly flammable type of film stock that many early films were shot on. It was a big deal in cinema until the 1950s, Holzer said.

A recording of the entire Q&A session has been uploaded to the official Duncan Scott Productions YouTube page. Thanks to the hard work of Scott and the Holzers, film lovers can now experience “We the Living” how it was meant to be seen: on the big screen, restored to all of its original glory.

It was the donut order heard

‘round the world: On Aug. 22, JD Vance arrived at a donut shop in Valdosta, Georgia. He placed his order in the strangest manner imaginable — at one point ordering “whatever makes sense.”

His behavior immediately became the topic of internet ridicule, but it got me curious. Who is Vance,

and why is he so weird?

I decided to go straight to the source. In 2016, Vance published his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” I thought if anything was going to help me make sense of this man, it’d be his book. I steeled my nerves and read it.

“Hillbilly Elegy” details Vance’s upbringing, from his childhood to graduation from Yale Law School. He lived mostly in Ohio, but he spent a lot of time in rural Kentucky with his grandmother, “Mamaw.” His whole family struggled with financ-

es and cycles of abuse. His mother struggled with addiction and was a serial divorcée. I went into “Hillbilly Elegy” expecting to hate it from start to finish. And, in many ways, I did. But bizarrely, as a storyteller, Vance had his moments of geniality. In moments when I forgot who he’d become, I liked him.

And then I remembered his declaration that women without children shouldn’t vote, and I shuddered in horror. What happened?

There’s a strange dissonance read-

ing about sweet little JD and watching the work of vice-presidential candidate Vance. As mentioned, Vance spends a lot of time relaying stories about his strong Appalachian grandmother.

He tells the story of her marriage and pregnancy at just 14 years old.

The baby died.

“Today I often wonder: Without the baby … would she have run off with Jim Vance to foreign territory? Mamaw’s entire life — and the trajectory of our family — may have changed for a baby who lived only six

days,” Vance wrote. According to his account, Mamaw wanted to be a family lawyer that protected children, but because of the unexpected and unhealthy baby, she was unable to.

With better access to healthcare and support, Vance’s beloved Mamaw could’ve had the life she wanted. But now, Vance is pushing other women down the same dark path, when it doesn’t have to happen that way. It made me think about a term I’ve

motive, according to attendee and train enthusiast Buzz Lenander. This means it is powered by steam and has four smaller guide wheels in the front, four trailing wheels and eight drive wheels — each of which are 80 inches tall, Lenander said.

Another volunteer, Nathan Phillips, explained that trains like the 2926 are becoming increasingly rare. Thirty of them were initially built, and now only six remain, according to Phillips.

heard thrown around a lot: “reactionary conservative.” Reading “Hillbilly Elegy,” I thought about it almost constantly. I could almost draw direct lines between the stories from his childhood and his policies now.

At times in “Hillbilly Elegy,” Vance is right about the struggles that lower-class Americans face. However, the conclusions he comes to about the origins of and solutions to problems are bizarre, and at times, cruel.

Many of Vance’s policies fixate on

stored them,” Phillips said.

The event also featured food trucks, vendors and cab tours of the 2926.

Burggraf emphasized the importance of preserving trains like the 2926 to help share the history they were a part of.

“It’s important people recognize the past and learn a little about history — not only what people did, but what companies and transportation systems did for this country,”

Burggraf said. “We like to point out that this engine probably pulled a

faith effort to listen to their community, their constituents, the students and the faculty who overwhelmingly support this divestment,” MontoyaBarthelemy said.

The red paint incident is listed as “criminal damage/graffiti” in the UNMPD daily crime log.

“The reporting officer checked

marriage, family and parenthood. His absent, sometimes-neglectful mother led to a fixation on the idea of motherhood. He is strongly anti-abortion, anti-divorce and pro-natalist. Vance has an obsession and hatred for women in his policy, but in his book, he seemed to revere them — his grandmother and sister particularly. However, much of this admiration was admiration of their struggles. Now, he seems to want to force all women to suffer the way

lot of Hollywood stars, from Chicago to Los Angeles and back. It’s just important that children see something like this — something they may never see again.”

Lenander noted that the parts to restore the 2926 couldn’t be bought; they had to be made.

“They had a hard time finding some of the things like bearings and seals and things like this for this engine. They had a hard time getting those made … but they were able to do it and bring it back to life,”

security cameras in the area and found no evidence of the unknown offender(s) committing the unlawful act,” Bitsoih wrote.

Del Mar is from Chile, where graffiti is not viewed as negatively as it is in the U.S., they said.

Lenander said.

Doyle Caton, one of the founding members of the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society, outlined how trains and transportation technology have shaped New Mexican culture.

“It’s New Mexico’s history. New Mexico has been a crossroads of human travel for centuries,” Caton said. “That’s been proven archaeologically with seashells in the Rockies and turquoise on the Gulf Coast ... It has been a crossroads

forever — probably the most multicultural state in the union, believe it or not.”

the women in his life suffered, rather than protect women from suffering.

Conservatives love to brand progressives as overly sensitive; they posture as though their opponents are political crybabies, governing from knee-jerk emotional reactions. I don’t think that’s true, but even if it was… Pot, kettle, Vance.

I don’t want it to seem as though I’m claiming Vance is a traumatized little boy and attempting to absolve him of his cruel and regressive policies.

No. Vance is traumatized, but more than that, he’s a sellout. His book opens with the line: “I am not a senator, a governor, or a former cabinet secretary.”

Oh, how that would change. That wouldn’t be the only time a line in Vance’s book turned out to be a lie. Vance talked about his disgust for rapists, liars, cheats and rich men. Now, he works for someone who is all of the above.

All I can say is apparently you

can take the holla — a nickname for the wilds of Appalachia — out of the boy, if you dangle enough money and power in front of his face. Vance has forgotten all of the principles he seemed to hold so dear in “Hillbilly Elegy.” Mamaw would be ashamed.
