The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
KUNM celebrates 45 years of eclectic programming by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
KUNM celebrates its 45th birthday this fall. The radio station first broadcast within a three-mile radius from a 10watt transmitter on top of the SUB in 1966. Today, the station’s alternative news and music reaches half of the state. According to Arbitron Radio Ratings and Media Research, KUNM now has a listenership of roughly 115,000.
“If you want to get a well-rounded musical education, you listen to KUNM” ~Mary Oishi KUNM Development director Mary Oishi, who also DJs blues sessions, said KUNM is on the cutting edge of music. “If you want to get a well-rounded musical education, you listen to KUNM,” she said. “If you want to listen to the same 10 songs over and over again you can turn on any other station.” Since the 60s KUNM has been an important voice on campus, said Richard Towne, KUNM’s general manager. The station reported alternative music and viewpoints throughout the 60s and 70s before listeners had the option to search the Internet for viewpoints and content that weren’t available through major outlets, he said. The station broadcast live on NPR during a Vietnam war protest following the Kent State shooting in Ohio. UNM students locked themselves in the SUB to protest Navy ROTC training drills.
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Elaine Baumgartel has been working at KUNM for the past eight years. She has worked several jobs at the station, from phone operator to radio host. Baumgartel currently hosts the Call-in Show and the local Morning Edition. KUNM marks its 45th anniversary this month. KUNM houses the second-largest collection of vinyl in the Southwest, as well as racks of CDs of local and newly released music across all genres. Towne said KUNM is unique because it is not controlled by national conglomerates or music industry interests. “It’s an interesting hybrid of a lot of things,” he said. “We play everything from hip-hop to metal to classical, and we are unusual in that we have
both very good news and very good music where most stations focus on one or the other. We don’t even have set playlists.” Towne said KUNM receives very little funding from the University and student fees and has to raise a lot of its own budget. “We have to raise $1.8 million a year to cover all of our expenses,” he said. “We only get $60,000 from the Student Fee Review Board for funding.”
Towne said 15 percent of funding for KUNM comes from PBS, which could face budget cuts in the next 6090 days and potentially hurt the organization’s ability to retain programs and keep students employed. KUNM currently employs 1520 students per semester and has more than 100 volunteers. Elaine Baumgartel, host of “Morning Edition” and the “Call-In Show” has been working at KUNM for eight
years. She started as a volunteer and has worked on various programs across all of KUNM’s departments. “I love public radio,” she said. “It’s been really cool to start on the bottom level as a volunteer, and you can come in and get trained and learn and get paid to learn and then get skills that are then useful in the work place, and be able to qualify and be eligible to be hired full time. It’s really an amazing place and an amazing experience.”
Obama honors UNM engineer US to bar Palestinian by Chelsea Erven

A UNM professor will be honored in the White House for her accomplishments in the field of engineering. President Obama announced Monday that Dr. Yasamin Mostofi, UNM assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, has been awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. “The PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers,” according to a White House press release. Mostofi’s research involves wireless communications and mobile systems for a digital world. “Dr. Mostofi’s research on mobile multi-agent systems that are cognizant of the dynamics of the wireless environment repre sents an innovative and exciting investigation likely to impact

We are delighted to have a member of our own community being honored by our President.”
Mostofi said her research is highly relevant. “Due to the complex nature of multi-agent systems, the best solutions are not the product of research in one single area anymore,” she said. “Instead, new multi-disciplinary approaches are needed.” Researchers are nominated for the award by 16 different federal departments and agencies. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy selects the finalists for approval by the President. Mostofi is one of 94 awardees this year. “It is inspiring to see the innovative work being done by these scientists and engineers as they ramp up their careers — careers that I know will be not only personally rewarding, but also invaluable to the nation,” President Obama said in a press release. “That so many of them are also devoting time to mentoring and other forms of community service speaks volumes about their potential for leadership, not only as scientists but as model citizens.”

bid for statehood by Tarek El-Tablawy The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N.’s political chief said Tuesday that Israel and the Palestinians remain far apart on reaching a peace accord, but insists “now is time for everyone to give diplomacy a chance.” B. Lynn Pascoe told the U.N. Security Council that the main obstacles to setting up a Palestinian state — a bid that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas submitted last week despite a promised U.S. veto — are political, not institutional. He said that the main issue remains the “continuing Israeli occupation and the ongoing Palestinian divide.” The remarks at the monthly briefing on the Middle East came as Israel announced it would build 1,100 more homes
on contested land in Jerusalem. They highlighted the tenuous path confronting not only the Palestinians and Israelis, but also the “Quartet of Mideast mediators” — the U.N., U.S., European Union and Russia. The Quartet has drafted a plan to bring the two sides together for negotiations, with an ultimate goal of achieving a deal by the end of next year. “Resuming negotiations, and making progress, is easier said than done,” Pascoe told the council. With the Quartet’s proposal and the push to restart negotiations, he said, “this would be a moment where the parties would be truly tested in their readiness to make serious proposals that addressed the core concerns of the other.”

Career Paths A weekly peek at unique niches
David Breidenbach is a pastor at the Faith Lutheran Church. He is also Director of Overseas Missions, a volunteer group that works in foreign countries. After completing his seminary education, Breidenbach was ordained in November 2007. He has led volunteer mission teams to Poland, Slovakia and the Ukraine in partnership with East European Missions Network, and enjoys studying archeology and Christian apologetics. Daily Lobo: Have you always been interested in religion? David Breidenbach: I didn’t start out in the Church; in fact, I wasn’t raised in the church at all, and used to think people that went were weak-willed and couldn’t stand up for themselves. I jokingly say I grew up in the church of Jimmy Buffett. But right after my wife and I were married, her mother asked us to sing in a choir for a church and I didn’t want to go, but she convinced me and I sang for a Good Friday service, and that was the first time I had ever heard the scripture. It sounds cliché, but something happened in my heart and it really spoke to me, I went to the Easter service and have been going ever since. DL: So how did you become a pastor? DB: I originally worked in

Mostofi received her Ph.D. in wireless communications from Stan ford University in 2004 and was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology before coming to UNM. “Dr. Mostofi exemplifies excel lence in research at UNM,” UNM Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah told UNM Today. “In the short time since her joining UNM, she has built a world-class research group. She is an example of the caliber of faculty that UNM has been able to attract and hope to retain.” Mostofi and the other PECASE awardees will receive their awards at the White House later this year.
broadcast television. I did a lot of voice-overs and advertising work. I was working on starting my own advertising company and I got out of the TV business, but I needed a little extra money and I felt strangely called to work at a church. So I asked the senior pastor at Faith if there were any openings and he said, “As a matter of fact, our facilities manager quit today.” So I began here as a facilities manager. Eventually my business did really well, but things began to change in my life as I began to watch what went on in this church, and people kept saying I would make a great pastor. DL: How has your background growing up in a nonreligious setting influenced the way you preach? DB: When I teach and when I preach and when I counsel, I try to look at things from how I used to look at it. I can talk until I’m blue in the face, but you’re not going to believe it. So I believe I have a gift to view things from a non-believer’s perspective. I don’t believe that I have some magic words that will make you believe, but I think I can present things from a perspective that people can understand and feel comfortable with. DL: What are some of the hardest things about being a pastor? DB: The hardest thing … a family friend from long ago moved
back to town and he worked for the company that lost the most employees in 9/11, it was like 600 or 700, and he was devastated. Then six months later, his wife died. Having to counsel this man and trying to think of something helpful to say was one of the most difficult. The other was taking a phone call from a mother whose son had committed suicide. As human beings we want to fix things and we want to say things that are meaningful, but sometimes all you can do is be there. DL: What about your family? DB: Christmas morning, I spent four hours at someone else’s house. I’m not complaining at all, it is my privilege, but my family suffers. DL: When the Faith Lutheran Westside campus opens, you will be the pastor of that church. What are your goals as a pastor at Westside Lutheran? DB: We are opening a church on the Westside, and the primary goal is not to pack the pews. It’s service. It’s between a middle school and a high school and we want to provide a safe and fun environment for children to be after school. We are working on literacy programs to improve reading for middle schoolers. It’s not to sell them on Jesus, it’s simply to be there to help and to serve, first and foremost.

North Korea. “We call on all the partners to address these tasks with utmost responsibility,” Lavrov told the world body. U.S. plans to deploy missile defenses aimed at intercepting any attacks by Iran on allies in Europe or the Middle East have proven an extreme irritant in relations with the Kremlin, which has insisted that the installations might also upset carefully negotiated nuclear balance that still exists between the two former Cold War enemies.

Palestine from page 1 Abbas’ insistence on presenting the application for Palestine’s full membership to the U.N. pushed the long-stalled peace process again to the forefront of this year’s General Assembly discussions and sparked a frenzy of last-minute diplomacy to dissuade him from submitting the application. The U.S. has vowed to veto the statehood bid in the Security Council. Abbas said that if it was rejected, the Palestinians could turn to the General Assembly to raise their current status as a permanent observer to a nonmember observer state, and resubmit the application again with the council. The Palestinians have refused to resume negotiations with Israel until the Jewish state halts the building of settlements on occupied land. Israel, however, has rejected the Palestinian demand, with
Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu again ruling out a freeze in an interview published Tuesday. Also Tuesday, Israel announced 1,100 new housing units in east Jerusalem, a move that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized as counterproductive to the peace process. Netanyahu has called for the resumption of peace talks without preconditions. He has dismissed demands that a Palestinian state be based on Israel’s 1967 prewar lines — putting him at odds with the administration of President Barack Obama. Pascoe said the new settlement announcement was “of particular concern,” adding that “we have repeatedly stated that settlement activity is illegal and contrary” to Israel’s commitment to the peace efforts. He also said extremists on both sides should not be allowed
to “inflame the situation,” noting several arson attacks by Jewish settlers on a mosque and a knife attack in Tel Aviv by a West Bank Palestinian on Aug. 29, as well as Israeli reports of a foiled suicide bombing the same month in Jerusalem. The Palestinian request for recognition is to come up at the Security Council on Wednesday. Diplomats said the council president will read a statement saying the Palestinian application has been transmitted to the council committee on the admission of new members, which includes all 15 council nations. The committee is expected to hold its first private informal meeting on Friday at the level of ambassadors, the diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity because consultations have been private.
Listeria linked to Colorado farm by Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As many as 14 people have died from possible listeria illnesses traced to Colorado cantaloupes, health officials say — a death toll that would make the food outbreak the deadliest in more than a decade. The Centers for Disease Control said last week that 55 illnesses and eight deaths were linked to the outbreak. Since then, state and local health departments in Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming have reported six additional deaths that may be linked to the tainted fruit. Nine people died in an outbreak linked to salmonella-tainted peanuts almost three years ago. Deaths linked to the cantaloupes are expected to easily surpass that number.
“People who ate a contaminated food two weeks ago or even a week ago could still be falling sick weeks later.” ~Robert Tauxe CDC doctor Listeria is more deadly than more well-known pathogens like salmonella and E. coli, though those outbreaks generally cause many more illnesses. Twenty-one people died in an outbreak of listeria poisoning in 1998 traced to contaminated hot dogs and possibly deli meats made by Bil Mar Foods, a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corp. Another large listeria outbreak in 1985 killed 52 people and was linked to Mexicanstyle soft cheese. Listeria generally only sickens the elderly, pregnant women and others with compromised immune systems. The CDC said last week that the median age of those sickened was 78. Dr. Robert Tauxe of the CDC says the number of illnesses and deaths will probably grow in coming weeks because the symptoms of listeria don’t always show up right away. It can take four weeks or more for a person to fall ill after eating food contaminated with listeria. “That long incubation period is a real problem,” Tauxe said. “People who ate a contaminated food two weeks ago or even a week ago could still be falling sick weeks later.” On Sept. 21 the CDC reported illnesses in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The agency
said then that four had died in New Mexico, two had died in Colorado and one person each had died in Oklahoma and Maryland. In the last week, state and local health departments have reported higher numbers. Officials in Texas said two deaths are linked to the outbreak, and officials in Nebraska attribute one death to the outbreak. Officials in Kansas and Wyoming said they are investigating three additional listeria deaths that may be linked as well. The CDC has not confirmed those numbers. Missouri and Florida have also reported new illnesses linked to the cantaloupes. The outbreak has been traced to Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., which recalled the tainted cantaloupes earlier this month. The Food and Drug Administration said last week that it had found listeria in samples of Jensen Farms’ cantaloupes taken from a Denver-area store and on samples taken from equipment and cantaloupes at the farm’s packing facility. Tests confirmed that the samples matched strains of the disease found in those sickened. The FDA has not released any additional details from its investigation into what caused the illnesses. The Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupes from Jensen Farms were shipped from July 29 through Sept. 10 to Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. The recalled cantaloupe may be labeled“ColoradoGrown,”“Distributed by Frontera Produce,” “Jensenfarms. com” or “Sweet Rocky Fords.” Not all of the recalled cantaloupes are labeled with a sticker, the FDA said. Unlike many pathogens, listeria bacteria can grow at room temperatures and even refrigerator temperatures. The FDA and CDC recommend anyone who may have one of the contaminated cantaloupes throw it out immediately. Consumer health advocates say those who think they may have had the tainted fruit in their kitchen should go a step farther. Caroline Smith DeWaal of the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest says people should clean and sanitize any surfaces that the cantaloupe may have touched. “Listeria is an environmental contaminant and it is very hardy,” DeWaal said. About 800 cases of listeria are found in the United States each year, according to CDC, and there usually are three or four outbreaks. Most of these are traced to deli meat and soft cheeses, where listeria is most common.
Produce has rarely been the culprit, but federal investigators say they have seen more produce-related listeria illnesses in the past two years. It was found in sprouts in 2009 and celery in 2010. While most healthy adults can consume listeria with no ill effects, it can kill the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It is also dangerous to pregnant women because it easily passes through to the fetus. Dr. Tauxe said the type of listeria linked to the cantaloupes is not one that is commonly associated with pregnancy-associated illnesses, however. State and federal health authorities have not definitively linked any miscarriages, stillbirths or infant illnesses to the current outbreak.

Letters Coaches’ high salaries an insult to educators Editor, I hope the outrageous fact that we pay people six-figure salaries to coach children’s games is not overlooked amid the hubbub surrounding Mr. Locksley’s firing. It is an insult to our educators (and to our students) that the head coaches of our football and basketball teams receive high six-figure salaries while tenure becomes obsolete, classes are taught by horribly underpaid TAs, tuition and fees rise and campus beautification funds dwindle. Our administrators are failing us, and this twoand-a-half-year Locksley debacle is merely a small example of an ongoing epidemic. Alex Curtas UNM student
Daily Lobo should nix anti-Christian rhetoric Editor, I am writing this letter to protest the cartoon in Monday’s Daily Lobo Opinion section. This cartoon is insulting, derogatory and extremely offensive to the Christian community, which has a large student population at UNM. The choice to run this cartoon, along with the other anti-Christian articles the Lobo has been producing (i.e. Duck Pond service not without sin), shows the disdain the Daily Lobo has for Christians. I am asking the Daily Lobo to give Christians the same respect it has shown to the other cultures that get informative and often positive coverage. For the Christian community, I request that future articles and cartoons be reviewed and those that contain explicitly anti-Christian rhetoric not be printed. Thank you. Matthew Buddrius UNM student Editor’s note: “Duck Pond service not without sin” is a column by Jose Flores that ran in the opinion section on Sept. 7.
UNMPD slow to respond in dangerous situations Editor, I am a biology undergrad at UNM. I would like to share a concern with you about our campus police. On Friday there was a man outside of Castetter Hall storming around and shouting. He began to slam on the doors that are kept locked year-round. He seemed to exaggerate this behavior when women walked past on the nearby sidewalk. I called the campus police to let them know that there was a potentially dangerous situation. I was disappointed to find that they took about 12 minutes to arrive, and in that time this man had taken his antics to another level and left toward Centennial Library. I informed the late police officer that the man had left. I wasn’t the only person who called UNMPD and waited for a resolution. I know there were at least three other people who called and waited in the area. I think it would be eye-opening for people to know that they may not be able to get the help or protection they need/expect from UNM police. Daniel Lujan UNM student
Column
Lazy students cheat teachers, themselves By Carrie Cutler
Daily Lobo Columnist Two-inch margins. 13-point font. Your fifth dead grandmother in three months. Plagiarism so obvious that you didn’t bother to change the font or diction when pasting it in. Cheating on tests by pretending to stretch while your eyes dart over someone else’s paper. Pretending to have never gotten an email I’ve talked about repeatedly in class and getting angry when I reference the schedule I gave you on the first day for why I won’t take your paper a month late. Offering me a bribe to pass instead of doing the work. Wadding your homework up and throwing it at me. Doodling the word ‘bitch’ over and over on your paper, which I see as I pass you to write on the other board. Using group work to talk about how ‘lame’ you think I am, despite my asking you to stop using that word because it demeans people with disabilities, people in the same class as you. I try to do my cursing away from undergraduates. I am not always successful. Sitting at my monitor at home, I chew through three languages worth of vulgarity until my partner leans over and says, “Seriously, step away from the screen. I can feel your blood boiling from here.” People who have not taught often ask me why I care. Why would I take personally that students cheat in my class, and not just shrug it off as the cost of being a teacher? I can answer that one quickly: Because it’s me, my class. Passing off something so obviously a cheat means that the student
Editorial Board Chris Quintana
thinks I won’t care or won’t notice. It’s difficult not to be insulted by how stupid the student must think I am, or how little they must think that I care. I also get angry because cheating is a symptom for something else. Sometimes it’s a symptom of the student’s problems managing their time (so many things to do!); sometimes it’s a symptom of what the student believes is the norm in his or her experiences of education. I hang out with a lot of teachers. When we talk about teaching, it’s always with a mix of pride and frustration. We mention our superstar moments, when someone understands a new concept, the expression on their face. We mention the ‘thank you’s,’ the moments when someone tells us what our classes meant to them. The conversation always turns to cheating. The body language of everyone at the table changes. We wince, or look away. Sometimes, one of us will get angry enough to start cursing. We expected all or most of our students to want to learn, which is probably unrealistic. We expected to help students. We expected, foolishly, for our efforts to matter. We end up discussing what to do with students. For the most part, the group I hang out with are realists. There are several high school teachers, a handful of TAs, a physicist, a post-doc or two, a technician, a few retirees and the occasional movie animator. As far as I can tell, we agree that the school system in general is broken. A friend is fond of calling it the “no child left behind” problem: students who have little exposure to reading comprehension, who have been taught that memorization is
how learning occurs. Some of these students are angered when they reach college. Confused and frustrated by a way of learning that is radically different from the way they’ve previously learned, they tend to respond by believing that they’re not invited to participate in the system. They think I’m cheating them by demanding that they write or behave a certain way. I have sympathy with this. Sometimes, it’s the only thing that allows me to be patient, even a little, with a paper when I read the various strategies students use to get around the requirements. I suppose I can’t insist that students have faith in me, or faith in the educational system, but I’d like to put it out there: The difference that undergraduates notice is not always intended to alienate them. In my case, and the case of many of the teachers I know, it’s that we expect more participation than rote memorization. The professional world requires more participation and interaction than that, and learning itself requires more for retention. To put it another way, you lose what you don’t use. Many teachers, myself included, fight a certain bitterness when we don’t get it. It’s not because we hate you, it’s because we are frightened for you and frustrated with the role we’re asked to fill: not participants, but teachers in a high school melodrama. Embittered. Unable to comprehend students. Gatekeepers between students and happiness, which they couldn’t possibly get from learning. Personally, I’m not fond of the costumes.

Dylan Smith/ Daily Lobo Choreographer Desiré Davids teaches Grace Chacon and her dance partner in preparation for Global DanceFest. The piece, “WHO IS THIS…Beneath My Skin?” is showing Oct. 7 and 8 at the N4th Theater.
DanceFest educates performers, audience by Felipe Medina-Marquez famm2210@hotmail.com
For the past 11 years, the Global DanceFest has brought avant-garde international artists to present contemporary dance to residents of New Mexico. This year’s Global DanceFest, which is co-presented by New Art New Mexico and North Fourth Art Center, features artists from Japan, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo who will perform at the N4th Theater. Susanna Kearny, the marketing director for the North Fourth Art Center, said a lot of the work presented is similar what you might see in a larger city like Los Angeles or New York. “It is an eye-opener for some people,” she said. Even though the event does not typically draw a huge crowd, Kearny said the art center hosts this event every year to expose people to experimental and abstract work. “Contemporary dance deals with images,” she said. “It’s not always necessarily a story line.” Performances for the Global DanceFest begin this weekend, with Japanese performers Eiko and Koma, a 40-year contemporary dance partnership that has been heralded by critics all over the country, according to the VSArts website. This weekend, Eiko and Koma will present their retrospective project, “Regeneration.” It features Taos Pueblo musician and artist Robert Mirabal and consists of older pieces of their work that have been updated, Eiko said. “What we do is not dance, because it doesn’t look like any recognizable western form of dancing, but it is movement theater without using any words,” Eiko said. This Saturday the event will feature a fundraiser for the VSA Arts of New Mexico, a school for adults with disabilities.
Desiré Davids, a South African artist performing at the Global DanceFest on Oct. 7 and 8, is teaching workshops to the students at the VSA Arts of New Mexico in the two weeks leading up to her performance. Her show, “WHO IS THIS … Beneath My Skin?,” incorporates students from the VSA Day Arts Program who are part of the Buen Viaje Dance Company. Kearny said even though all artists who perform at the Global Dance Fest hold workshops at the VSA New Mexico, not all of them integrate the students into their work like Davids does. “During the two weeks, we will find ways of pushing them a little bit out of their boundaries,” Davids said. “The main theme of my work is to break out of the boxes, the preconceived boxes, that we are put in daily. We are all somehow prepackaged.” Davids’ show is a multimedia work that features pre-recorded work and live projections onto a screen that are photographed and videographed by Pascale Beroujon. A performance of Congolese dance, pop music and spoken text by Flamme Kapaya and Faustin Linyekula will close the Global DanceFest on Oct. 18. The promotional brochure calls it “a fierce celebration of hope in the face of despair.”

Orchestra mixes in Latin flavor by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu
The warbling voice of a soprano clashes with a trumpeter’s mouthpiece exercises next door. A violinist squeaks through scales and arpeggios as a pianist thunders in a different key, the percussionists steadily keeping their own time. These sounds are typical in the halls between the music department’s practice rooms, but when it’s time for orchestra rehearsal, the sounds unite to create music. The University Symphony Orchestra, which has been around for more than 50 years, encourages student-musicians from all majors to join its artistic mission, said Jorge Perez-Gomez, the orchestra’s conductor for the past 21 years, Its first concert of the season will include a mix of classical styles, from Beethoven’s eighth symphony to a Shostakovich cello concerto to a series of Spanish dances by Manuel de Falla. The orchestra is composed of 60 student-musicians. All students interested in joining the orchestra must audition at the beginning of the semester and be accepted into the program. Students who are not accepted into the symphony orchestra can play in the second-tier orchestra, the Sinfonia. The symphony orchestra performs about five or six concerts per year, and Perez-Gomez said emphasis on Latin American and Spanish music is not unique to its upcoming concert; the orchestra is known for this focus. “In addition to doing traditional Eurocentric repertoire, we try to give the orchestra a special mission with doing music from Spain and Latin America,” he said. “Latin American countries were trying to establish an identity away from Europe to create a special sound with orchestration, with rhythm, with things that will give a certain identity.” Violinist Cory McBride said Latin American classical music is more theatrical and flamboyant, whereas Eurocentric classical music is more subtle. “There’s a lot of attitude when you’re playing Latin American music, and classically there is too, but it’s in a different way,” he said. “It’s not so obvious … You’re getting really loud and there are a lot of accents and there’s a lot of technique that’s there.” McBride, a double major in music and biochemistry, said the orchestra provided him relief from traditional academic work but was
