Jan. 19
On Jan. 19, hundreds of protesters rallied and marched at Civic Plaza during the People’s March in response to President Donald Trump’s return to office. Protesters chanted and carried signs highlighting areas another Trump presidency may impact, including reproductive rights, immigrant rights, environmental justice, affordable healthcare and Palestinian rights.
Politicians and community members spoke to the crowd during the rally, including former United States Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D), Albuquerque City Councilor Nichole Rogers, poet Hakim Bellamy and Albuquerque First Lady Elizabeth Kistin Keller.
“We will need to do the hard work of getting important things done and pushing back against an administration who couldn’t care less about regular people — about people like us,” Haaland told the crowd.
Samia Assed, chair of New Mexico Women’s March, was the lead organizer of the event.
“For us to address the Trump agenda moving forward, we needed to come together,” Assed told the Daily Lobo. “The power of people — the power of mobilizing — is at the core of how we fight for our democracy.”
The march also coincided with a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas after over a year of war in
Gaza. The first phase of the ceasefire deal started Jan. 19 and will last six weeks, during which 33 Israeli hostages and 1,900 Palestinians from Israeli prisons are expected to be released, according to NPR.
“Gaza is very much in the hearts of Americans,” Assed said. “The story of the atrocities that happened has impacted millions of Americans because you had a live stream for 15 months.”
Protester and activist Susan Schuurman said U.S. leadership “needs to catch up” with Americans when it comes to Palestine.
“That was part of what we were trying to do (at the People’s March),” Assed said. “Some may not be comfortable, but it was in their face that Palestine was at the forefront.”
Lucas Batista just moved to Albuquerque and said he was happy he showed up to the march because he wanted to get connected with the community.
“Not only did I get to meet other activists, but I got to hear from local representatives and organizations that are doing a lot of work for women’s reproductive rights, Indigenous rights and freedom for Palestine,” Batista said.
Lori Remillard said she attended the march as a “concerned citizen.”
“As New Mexicans, as minorities, we need to continue to fight for our rights,” Remillard said. “Women’s rights, bodily autonomy and LGBTQIA+ rights. That’s what brought me out.”
Jan. 20
Protesters continued rallying the next day — Inauguration Day — at Robinson Park. The event brought
together local organizations including the Albuquerque Party for Socialism and Liberation, the Peoples Housing Project, the American Indian Movement and the United Graduate Workers of the University of New Mexico.
“Thank you all for coming today; it’s just a model for how resistance to Trump and the billionaire agenda will go forward,” event facilitator Donovan Glasgow told the crowd. “We’re not going to let the ruling class divide us.”
Dom Oddo, an organizer from UGW at UNM, spoke to attendees about unionizing workers.
“We should seek to build a system where workers have all the power,” Oddo said. “When workers are divided, we’re easy to control, but we are more powerful when we unite.”
Local Native American activists with the American Indian Movement celebrated the commuted life sentence of Indigenous activist and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa elder Leonard Peltier, who was sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting two FBI agents in the 1970s, according to NPR.
Peltier’s defense argued that his case contained falsified evidence, according to The Associated Press, and the National Congress of American Indians said the case symbolizes systemic injustice against Indigenous peoples.
Former President Joe Biden commuted Peltier’s sentence so he can spend the rest of his confinement at home after nearly 50 years in prison, according to the AP. Peltier, now in his 80s, was an active member of the AIM in the 1970s.
Cleo Otero, a local Diné chef and
entrepreneur who is part of the AIM, was among those present at Robinson Park.
“This is a monumental day, because it’s not only Martin Luther King Day, but also the freedom of an elder that stood up,” Otero said. “Today, we’re fighting for the people, for all Indigenous lands.”
Governor nominates two new UNM regents
By Addison Fulton @dailylobo
On Jan. 3, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham made 11 regent nominees for eight different New Mexico higher learning institutions. Among these were two new appointments to the University of New Mexico Board of Regents: health care executive Christina Campos and civil litigator Patricia Williams.
The nomination process is rigorous, according to Higher Education Department Secretary Stephanie Rodriguez.
“I know each of these nominees has the quality to earn the trust of the public and the communities they have been nominated to serve,” Rodriguez wrote to the Daily Lobo.
Since 2004, Campos has led Guadalupe County Hospital in Santa Rosa. Under her leadership, the hospital expanded its care, and in 2019 it was named one of the top 20 rural hospitals in the United States by the
Chartis Center for Rural Health, according to Guadalupe County Hospital. In April 2024, Campos received the American Hospital Association Board of Trustees Award.
Using her background in business and administration, she hopes to identify and bolster “centers of excellence within the University and the sciences center,” she said.
Campos hopes to gain wisdom from her colleagues and provide a fresh perspective, she said.
“I think in any organization it’s really, really easy to come from the outside and say, ‘I want this, and I want this, and I want to change that,’” Campos said. “So until you really get inside and you get an idea of how things are being run, you can’t really start demanding change.”
Williams works with all-female law firm Wiggins, Williams & Wiggins, P.C. She has represented the City of Albuquerque and the Navajo Nation in legal matters, according to a press release. She has three degrees from UNM and said she sees her appoint-
ment as an opportunity to give back.
“I don’t see this as an opportunity to personally accomplish anything. I see being a regent as an opportunity to steer the University with policy development and review,” Williams said. “Regents don’t deal with operations — hiring, firing, that kind of thing. It’s just making sure that its policies are current and constitutional and further the mission of the institution.”
UNM must seek funding opportunities to accomplish its goals, which can sometimes be seen as an obstacle, Williams said.
“I’m not someone who looks for obstacles. I’m someone who looks for opportunities,” she said. “I appreciate that the state has decided to invest in educational institutions.”

BioPark hosts Penguin Awareness Day
By Elizabeth Bolke & Jaden McKelvey-Francis @dailylobo
On a day when most other animals chose to be indoors, the Albuquerque BioPark hosted an annual event for Penguin Awareness Day. The event, which took place on Friday, Jan. 24, was in the Penguin Chill building, which mimics the penguin’s typical habitat.
The event offered guests a chance to see three types of penguins that live in Penguin Chill. While the BioPark does host a fourth species, the little penguins are not part of the chilled habitat. The little penguin enclosure is part of the new Australian exhibit, but the colder weather didn’t permit them to be outside.
“The great news about our Penguin Chill habitat is it’s indoors,” said Tori Fox, the science education coordinator for the BioPark. “It’s a great way to add an activity and an engaging learning opportunity for guests.”
The three species in the Penguin Chill exhibit are king, macaroni and gentoo penguins. King penguins are the largest at the BioPark and the second-largest species in the wild, behind the emperor penguin. Macaroni penguins have distinct yellow feathers on the top of their heads, while gentoo penguins have a white stripe that goes across their heads. Other key features include the size and color of the birds’ beaks and feet.
At the event, guests could learn how to identify the species of penguins and were encouraged to try to identify individual penguins by their names. Each bird had a different color zip tie around their wing so that individuals can be identified. There were lists that guests could look at to find the name of each bird.
Visitors had the chance to learn more about the different species from one of the many volunteers who worked at the event, as well as from the many informational plaques placed around the exhibit.
While most of the plaques are permanently placed, the event featured a booth that included more information about the evolution of penguins and the specific features that distinguish the different species.
Guests could also watch the penguins get fed. As the handler scattered squid around the enclosure, the penguins swarmed around before diving into the water to fetch their food. However, as one of the handlers explained, some of the penguins were entering molting season, which decreased their appetites.
The event aimed to encourage conservation efforts, with a board asking people to make a pledge to participate in more sustainable behaviors such as recycling and riding a bike instead of driving.
“We recommend doing research and sharing the knowledge with your friends and family,” Fox said. “We also recommend shopping for sustainable seafood.”
While none of the species of penguins at the BioPark are endangered, the macaroni penguin is classified as vulnerable.
“We assist with a conservation breeding program for a couple of species of our penguins, so that we help maintain the population in human care, which is important for research and population sustainability worldwide,” Fox said.

How the Trump presidency could affect reproductive rights in New Mexico
By Dylan Anthony @dailylobo
During the Sept. 10, 2024, presidential debate, Trump praised himself and the Supreme Court for the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“The states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land,” Trump said in a video he posted to Truth Social in April 2024.
On Oct. 1, 2024, Trump reinforced his stance again, posting on X that he would veto any national abortion ban put through Congress in favor of allowing every state to decide for itself how to regulate abortion.
New Mexico’s reproductive freedoms and gender-affirming care are supported by both voters and the legislature, according to American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico
Reproductive Rights and Gender Eq-
uity Attorney Jazmyn Taitingfong.
“We have laws protecting privacy in healthcare and gender-affirming care,” Taitingfong said. “However,
given the national climate, it’s clear there will be continued attacks on health care decisions, bodily autonomy and gender-affirming care. These are areas we’ll continue monitoring
and responding to.”
In 2021, New Mexico repealed a requirement that a parent or legal guardian must consent to a minor’s abortion, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights.
In September 2024, the health branch of the University of New Mexico began construction on an abortion clinic that will, once completed, serve neighboring states such as Texas and Oklahoma, according to The Associated Press. The project is being constructed in partnership with Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and other groups.
New Mexico’s position as an abortion safe haven was further strengthened by a ruling by the state Supreme Court earlier this month when abortion restrictions from the cities of Hobbs and Clovis, and Lea and Roosevelt counties, were struck down in a unanimous opinion, ac-
cording to the AP.
The restrictions initially attempted to use the 19th-century Comstock Act to prevent opposition to the ordinances, but Justice C. Shannon Bacon wrote in the majority opinion that the state law prevented city or county authorities from regulating abortion access, according to the AP.
New Mexicans, including rural New Mexicans, overwhelmingly support abortion access, according to Bold Futures New Mexico Executive Director Charlene Bencomo.
“The reality is states like Texas have been working for years to limit access to abortion care, so people have been coming to New Mexico for the care they need,” Bencomo said.

How the Trump presidency could affect immigration in New Mexico
By Elliott Wood @dailylobo
President Donald Trump’s campaign was headlined by promises to carry out the largest deportation operation of immigrants who lack permanent legal status in American history. To carry out the deportations, the Trump administration plans to work with local police, targeting those who have criminal records first, according to the 2024 Republican Party Platform.
Working with state and local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws would require a Memorandum of Agreement — or MOA — between the law enforcement agency and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to authorize
and train employees on enforcement techniques, according to the American Immigration Council.
Though there was previously an MOA between ICE and the New Mexico Corrections Department, there are no such active MOAs in the state of New Mexico.
Tom Homan, who led ICE under Trump in his first administration, was announced as the new “border czar” by Trump in a Nov. 10, 2024, Truth Social post.
Homan is known for a policy that separated thousands of children from their families at the southern border in 2018 — a practice that was rolled back by Trump the same year after poor public reception, according to NPR.
Homan is expected to set the agenda for how federal agencies car-
ry out immigration-related policies, according to NPR.
In 2005, New Mexico passed Senate Bill 582, which made it illegal for universities to “deny admission to a student on account of the student’s immigration status” and granted in-state tuition to students who meet certain criteria, according to the bill text.
The University of New Mexico will follow existing federal guidelines, according to a statement from UNM President Garnett Stokes on the Undocumented UNM website.
“UNM police will not contact, detain, question or arrest an individual solely on the basis of suspected undocumented immigration status or to discover any individual’s immigration status,” the statement reads.
Hours after Trump was sworn in,
he signed an executive order called Protecting The Meaning and Value of American Citizenship, which sought to exclude the children of people who lack permanent legal status from being awarded citizenship upon birth.
On Tuesday, Jan. 21, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez and 17 other states responded by filing lawsuits claiming the order was unconstitutional, according to a statement by Torrez.
In 2018, Albuquerque enacted a bill that reaffirmed the city’s status as an immigrant-friendly city, which Mayor Tim Keller again reaffirmed after Trump’s return to office. The bill prohibited the use of any city resources, including police departments, in federal immigration laws.
Anna Trillo, a staff attorney at the
New Mexico Immigration Law Center, said that much of the negative rhetoric surrounding immigrants that persisted through this year’s election cycle began during Trump’s first administration. This language has led to reports to NMILC of immigrants — with and without permanent legal status — unable to feel safe in their communities because of the fear caused by calls for mass deportations, Trillo said.
“We also know that there might be potential deportations of U.S. citizens and people who do have legal status, because there’s gonna be probably a lot of racial profiling involved in these deportations,” Trillo said.

OPINION: 2025 NFL mock draft — Top five picks
By Izabella Kubiak-Reseigh @kubiakizabella
As collegiate athletes climb their way into the draft, here are five players who I think could be in the first round for their talent.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars: defensive tackle Mason Graham
The Jacksonville Jaguars have the fifth overall pick of the NFL season after a disappointing 4-13 finish. With trouble on the defensive line, the Jaguars should draft defensive tackle Mason Graham from the University of Michigan to patch up holes in the defense. The 6-foot-3-inch, 320-pound player had 3 ½ sacks and
46 total tackles this season, making him a solid pick for the Jaguars.
4. New England Patriots: wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan
The New England Patriots crawled into the offseason with a 4-13 record, finishing last in the AFC East — a whiplash from the Tom Brady era.
The Patriots have had trouble finding a true No. 1 wideout since Julian Edelman. The Patriots should draft wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan from the University of Arizona. McMillan is coming off back-toback years with over 1,300 receiving yards, with a career-best game of over 300 yards against the University of New Mexico. Quarterback Drake Maye needs weapons, and McMillan
could be the answer.
3. New York Giants: quarterback Shedeur Sanders
The New York Giants earned a 3-14 record during the season in the city that never sleeps. The Giants need a strong quarterback after the Daniel Jones deal led to disastrous outcomes, like letting running back Saquon Barkley walk into free agency, where he signed with their rival, the Philadelphia Eagles.
One prospective candidate for the Giants is quarterback Shedeur Sanders from the University of Colorado. Sanders is a hot commodity in
Small bird, big energy: UNM research could help with land conservation causes
By Marcela Johnson @dailylobo
Research from the University of New Mexico biology department could help show how climate and land use change might affect hummingbirds that migrate through New Mexico.
Authored by Shayne Halter, Blair Wolf and Carlos Martinez del Rio, the Jan. 15 study looked at why hummingbirds use torpor — a hibernation-like state. Hummingbirds usually go into torpor at night when
it is colder, and this can help them survive, Halter said.
“They live at a sort of metabolic knife edge where if they don’t get enough food, they don’t get enough energy day to day, they don’t survive,” Halter said. “They have certain mechanisms they can use to ensure they make it, especially when they migrate.”
Hummingbirds rely on different food sources to carry them through migration, according to Halter. With land use change and climate change, there may be more of what Halter calls “nectar deserts,” where the birds
don’t have access to food.
“In this research, we’re defining what some of those limits are, and we’re getting a good idea of how much torpor can actually compensate for energy shortfalls in these birds,” Halter said.
Christopher Witt, a UNM biology professor and one of Halter’s Ph.D. committee members, explained that the research lends some urgency to conservation matters, especially in regard to recent wildfires affecting conservation areas.
“The question becomes much more urgent to understand how increasing temperatures are affecting fat levels in wild hummingbirds,” Witt said.
These future applications may also help with space travel, Witt said. Currently, the physical mechanisms of torpor are still unexplained, according to Halter.
“Imagine if we could understand: What are the mechanisms by which hummingbirds regulate their body mass?” Martinez del Rio said. “If we could understand that mechanism well so that we could apply it for animals.”
the two hypotheses surrounding torpor predicted that it was either used routinely or only in emergency situations. This study shows that the chances of a bird going into torpor can be predicted with precision based on the bird’s percent of body fat and the model, he said.
“This is a really exciting thing,” Witt said. “This shows that the answer all along was kind of simple, we just needed the data on body fat to be able to see what’s happening.”
Martinez del Rio said that before collecting the data, he and Halter created a mathematical model to predict when a hummingbird might enter into torpor.
“He has discovered a rule that tells you whether a hummingbird will become torpid and save energy for the next morning — and not only that, but how long it will be in torpor,” Martinez del Rio said. “Imagine the precision with which these animals are regulating their facilities.”
tion, as hummingbirds are not asleep during this mini-hibernation.
“When a hummingbird is in torpor, it’s unaware of its surroundings and it’s vulnerable to predation,” Halter said.
Witt said the study was elegant and serendipitous. The strengths of each team member led to an accurate model that may be able to help explain energy management systems in animals in the future, he said.
The team took precise measurements on hundreds of hummingbirds in the area of Mimbres, which is in southwestern New Mexico. Halter is currently working on three more papers with the data taken from this study. These papers will look at topics such as hummingbird demographics, using feathers as geomarkers, and the dynamics of torpor.

OPINION: 2025 Grammy awards preview and predictions
By Elijah Ritch @dailylobo
The 67th Grammy Awards will air Feb. 2. Music released between Sept. 16, 2023, and Aug. 30, 2024, was eligible to be nominated for the ceremony. Here is how I think the evening is likely to go.
Song of the Year and Record of the Year are two categories that people frequently get confused. The former goes exclusively to the songwriters, while the latter is awarded to the
artists, album producers, recording engineers, mixers and mastering engineers who have worked on a track, according to the Grammys website. Record of the Year seems poised to go to Beyoncé for “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.” While she currently holds the record for most Grammy wins with 13 wins and 34 nominations, Beyoncé has only won one main category Grammy — Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” in 2010 — but all of that may change this year.
Beyoncé has garnered a leading
11 nominations at this year’s ceremony, and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” has been her most successful lead single in years. The record itself is catchy, well constructed and seamlessly produced. All of these factors have come together to position Beyoncé for her potential first Record of the Year.
Album of the Year is a category that Beyoncé has famously never won. Each of the past three times she has lost have been major upsets, furthering the case that the Gram-
mys have a racial bias when it comes to the major categories. However, the widespread critical and cultural success of “COWBOY CARTER” is undeniable, with the album having a 91 on Metacritic and its Western aesthetic having a massive influence on 2024’s fashion landscape, according to The New York Times.
Another thing in Beyoncé’s favor is the treatment the album has received from other awards ceremonies, including it receiving zero nominations at the 2024 Country Music Awards.
The Recording Academy likely wants to avoid the same backlash the CMAs rightfully received.
Beyoncé’s Christmas Day halftime performance at the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game has continued to keep “COWBOY CARTER” at the forefront of the zeitgeist almost a year after its release. If the Recording Academy decides to snub Beyoncé once again, Chappell Roan and Charli xcx are also strong contenders.

view and make movies. The word “Lynchian” has become commonplace in promotional material and reviews for films with the slightest modicum of surrealism, to the point where the term is devoid of meaning.
When I heard that David Lynch died, I simply froze, mouth agape, and stared at the wall for upwards of ten minutes. Obviously he was getting older, and he’d made his battle with emphysema — a chronic lung disease — public in 2024, but he was somebody I imagined would always be with us.
I’m hard-pressed to think of another filmmaker of the past 50 years as influential on both the medium as a whole and specific aesthetic and narrative techniques as Lynch. He has quite literally changed how people both
In the early decades of cinema, films were seen as an escape into another world, but as the art form evolved, that magic was lost. But Lynch understood the innate magic of the movies. His films feel like transmissions straight from the subconscious while being highly grounded in reality.
I was first exposed to Lynch as a young teenager, when my dad showed me his
“Twin Peaks” changed the way I think about femininity and death alike. I first watched it in eighth grade — arguably too young to understand the intricacies, but very into the color pallet and Audrey Horne’s outfits. I rewatched it a year ago, staying up late after editing or doing homework, eyes glued to the television screen. I didn’t want to blink; I feared I’d miss something crucial in the chevron floors and perpetual fog. It’s rare that a male creator develops a tragic
female character who feels authentic. There seems to be a popular concern in sci-fi and horror with ensuring women are saveable — often by men. This isn’t always wrong, but it’s not realistic.
Tragedy is a part of life. Sometimes, there aren’t happy endings.
Seventeen-year-old Laura Palmer is the main character of “Twin Peaks,” but she’s dead before the show begins. Lynch and cocreator Mark Frost weave her life into the storyline through the reminiscences of her family, friends and enemies. The audience sees how everyone in Laura’s life viewed
Snapdragon fundraiser brings awareness to local animal shelter
On Saturday, Jan. 25, Snapdragon Tea, located in the Brick Light District near the University of New Mexico, held a fundraiser for the Roots Animal Sanctuary. This was the second and last weekend the event was held.
Roots Animal Sanctuary, located in Tijeras, is a nonprofit that “provides a safe and loving forever home for those who have come from a difficult background,” according to its website.
The fundraiser was done in the style of Snapdragon’s frequent tea parties, where patrons can indulge in a three-course meal that is specially curated for the specific event. Reservations had to be made online in advance for the full tea party menu, and 10% of the proceeds from the tea party sales and any of Snapdrag -
on’s vegan sandwiches purchased during the fundraiser went to Roots.
Vanessa Vesperman, who is the chef and owner of Snapdragon, said a local artist provided prints of some of the pigs at Roots, which will receive 50% of the proceeds from the sales. A portion of the profit made by a local tea leaf reader at the event will also go toward the sanctuary.
The tea party menu was curated around animals from the sanctuary. Volunteers from Roots provided information about some of the animals’ favorite foods, which is what the menu was based on.
“We have a raspberry tea cake, and that’s because Chad and Jeffrey, who are two of the donkeys, really like raspberries,” Vesperman said.
There were cards organized on the tables with pictures and information about the animals at the sanctuary, as well as QR codes that took guests to a website with more information on each animal. Guests could
find portraits of the animals who inspired menu selections on these cards.
Each animal has its own story. Vesperman said the sanctuary takes in farm animal rescues.
“Some of them come in super overweight, so they help them get down to a weight where they can be mobile,” Vesperman said.
In some cases, their hooves haven’t been tended well, Vesperman said, so care is essential and supported by donations.
Snapdragon has hosted fundraisers in the past, including book drives and events to raise money for local vegan organizations. In regard to how this particular event had been doing, Vesperman said the first weekend of the fundraiser was busy.
“There were so many volunteers from Roots that came to visit and hang out,” Vesperman said.

PHOTO STORY: The World’s Largest Matanza
By Emily Dunham @dailylobo
The World’s Largest Matanza is an annual celebration of New Mexican food and culture that takes place in Belen. Matanza translates to “slaughter” in Spanish. At this event, people butcher — or slaughter — a whole hog and roast its cuts over pits with smoking coals or fry them in big cast iron skillets. Live music was provided during the festivities on Saturday, Jan. 25, with live performances from Peter Vigil & the All Star Band and Black Pearl Band. Several booths competed to be voted the one with the best food.

LETTER: A call to action — engage with textbook affordability
Dear Editor,
I am the Open Educational Resources Librarian at the University of New Mexico, and I am also the principal investigator on a Department of Education grant that awarded UNM nearly $2.125 million to create an OER consortium in New Mexico. One focus of my work is to save students money on textbooks.
UNM has scheduled a virtual Town Hall Meeting from 2-3 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 30 to discuss the fall 2025 implementation of a flat-rate automatic textbook billing program for undergraduate students. I urge all faculty and administrators to learn more about this program.
Some UNM faculty and students are already using Inclusive Access for courses upon faculty request. Inclusive Access provides course

In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Nov. 21, 2024, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham called some immigration policies endorsed by Trump “unlawful.” Lujan Grisham also said that she and other governors from across the
materials, textbooks and courseware on the first day of classes. Students are charged through their student account, and they can choose to opt out.
Publishers like McGraw-Hill have published case studies that illustrate positive outcomes from students who participate in Inclusive Access programs. Still others report that Inclusive Access and Open Educational Resources both have been shown to increase student savings and improve students’ experience in the classroom.
While Inclusive Access is administered on a course-by-course basis at the request of an instructor, flatrate automatic textbook billing is administered campus-wide regardless of the courses a student takes.
UNM uses RedShelf for Inclusive Access, and RedShelf may also be
political spectrum would not cooperate if the Trump administration put these policies into action.
Sophia Genovese, an NMILC spokesperson, told Source NM on Friday, Jan. 24 that the NMILC was not aware of any raids on workplaces or
used to implement their flat-rate automatic textbook billing program called Equitable Access.
The program would deliver course materials for one price, including textbooks and courseware, to the whole student body through Canvas. The single price tag is often an average of what all students pay: students in fields with expensive course materials will save money, while others will pay more than they used to. Currently, the price is slated to be $279 per semester. Student bursar accounts would be automatically charged, and students could opt out.
Automatic textbook billing grew out of 2016 federal regulations that govern how student financial aid should be used. The Department of Education’s Rule 164 states that the cost of books and supplies can be included as part of tuition and fees as long as they are below competitive market rates and students can opt out. An antitrust lawsuit followed, and a district judge ruled in favor of Inclusive Access.
At first look, this model might seem fair because students are being charged below-market-value prices; however, textbook publishers have inflated the value of their materials. Between the 1980s and early 2000s, textbook prices increased at three to four times the rate of inflation, creating the textbook affordability crisis.
other locations in New Mexico since Trump’s inauguration, but that “communities need to remain vigilant.”
The NMILC does not foresee any large impacts on state-level protections for immigrants and their families, Trillo said, outside of initiatives regularly pro-
By giving students discounted access to already-inflated materials, publishers can create the appearance of savings without undercutting their profits. The Public Interest Research Group voiced concern over textbook publishers having unclear pricing terms and mandated quotas in their 2024 report.
More research is needed to confirm that a flat-rate, campus-wide automatic textbook billing program would support positive student outcomes before UNM commits to increasing fees for many students.
For example, one large-scale pilot of Inclusive Access that included over 47,000 students across 141 courses at 13 community colleges found no statistically significant difference in the success rate for students overall, nor for students classified as nonwhite, Pell-eligible, or adult learners over the age of 25.
By contrast, an OER study that examined withdrawal rates of more than 78,000 students across 11 studies found that courses with open textbooks had withdrawal rates that were 29% lower than courses with commercial textbooks. For more OER research, check out the Open Ed Group’s Review Project.
Regarding the student experience with flat-rate automatic textbook billing programs, one small scale survey
posed in state and local governments.
“I think if anything, (New Mexico is) just gonna keep adding to those protections and continue helping the community,” Trillo said.
funded by the Michelson 20MM Foundation gathered data about students who were automatically charged for their textbooks. The survey found one in five students did not know they could opt out, and over half of students did not believe automatic textbook billing saved them money — they chose not to opt out because it was easier. These findings are similar to a different 2024 study at a small public liberal arts college.
A letter-to-the-editor* is not enough space to cover all the points surrounding flat-rate automatic textbook billing programs. We owe it to UNM students to research these programs fully before we commit to implementing them. A good starting point is inclusiveaccess.org, which is maintained by SPARC, an organization first developed in 1998 by the Association of Research Libraries to promote open access to scholarship.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Jordan

a weaker quarterback class. He had 37 touchdowns and over 4,000 pass yards, and he could prove to be the missing puzzle piece for the Giants as quarterback.
2. Cleveland Browns: cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter
The Cleveland Browns have the second-highest pick in the draft after going 3-14 in the regular season. The Browns need versatility on their roster, which could come with drafting athlete Travis Hunter.
Grammys from page 4
of the Year could go to anybody. Shaboozey tied the record for the most weeks — 19 — at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the nominated “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Grammy darling Billie Eilish could win for a record third time for “BIRDS OF A FEATHER,” which has become one of her most successful songs.
“Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars has been one of the biggest songs in the country for several months — the period during which Grammy voting has taken place. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is the definition of a cultural phenomenon.
1980 film “The Elephant Man.” I was immediately awestruck by Lynch’s ability to find beauty in people and scenarios that others would normally be repulsed by. He understood that the beautiful and the grotesque are inherently intertwined, as are sex and violence.
Hunter successfully played cornerback and receiver with the University of Colorado, putting up over 1,200 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. Defensively, Hunter racked up four interceptions and only allowed 22 receptions. Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy after an outstanding season, and he could help the Browns start to climb to glory.
Sabrina Carpenter would stand a better chance if she were nominated in this category for “Espresso” instead of “Please Please Please,” but the latter song is unfortunately bested by most of its opponents by general popularity. And of course, Beyoncé could always win here, too. However, the most deserving song in the Song of the Year lineup is Chappell Roan’s breakout success “Good Luck, Babe!” The track is brilliant from a lyrical standpoint and has been the figurehead of a massive year for Queer musicians, according to Rolling Stone. A SOTY win for “Good Luck, Babe!” would cement

1. Tennessee Titans: quarterback Cam Ward
The Tennessee Titans boasted a 3-14 record and finished last in the AFC South. The ailing Titans offense suffered under quarterback Will Levis, and the team should draft a new quarterback.
Roan’s hit as one of the most important pop songs in recent memory.
This year, there are two artists at the forefront of the Best New Artist race — Carpenter and Roan. The former’s breakout success has been with her sixth album, but this Grammy goes to someone who has “achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness and notably impacted the musical landscape” during the previous year, according to the Grammys website, thus making Carpenter eligible. The fact that Carpenter has been steadily building industry recognition over the past decade will surely benefit her in this category.
One player with potential to turn his team around is University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who had 39 touchdowns and only seven interceptions this season. Ward plays exceptional offense and would add flavor to a dull Titans offensive scheme.
Roan, on the other hand, has had an unprecedented breakout year. She charted seven songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, according to Billboard. Her performance at Lollapalooza in August 2024 drew what is estimated to be the biggest crowd in the history of the music festival, according to CNN. Dozens of high-profile musicians have expressed support for Roan during her tumultuous first year of superstardom, according to Rolling Stone. She has garnered the same amount of industry recognition as Carpenter — if not more — in just a year.

Thus, Roan is the likely frontrunner for this year’s Best New Artist. If the Recording Academy decides to reward an artist from another genre in a year dominated by pop, rapper Doechii and country singer Shaboozey both stand a sizable chance. A full list of nominations for the 67th Grammy Awards can be found online.

Over the next several years, I delved further into Lynch’s world. I rarely “got” one of his works upon my first watch. I deeply enjoyed films like “Eraserhead” or “Mulholland Drive” when I originally saw them, but I didn’t know what to make of them. However, as time passed and I was able to sit with specific works, they revealed themselves to me.
His films remind me of the fact that moviegoing is an intrinsically

communal experience. In order to truly grasp his work, you have to watch and discuss it with other people. Seeing “Lost Highway” during its theatrical rerelease, viewing “Mulholland Drive” in a film history class and rewatching “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” with a friend a few days after Lynch’s passing have each allowed me to understand these films in a new light.
I can only hope that Lynch’s passing will inspire established fans to revisit his work and those who are unfamiliar with him to experience the work of a true genius — a man who possessed a once-in-a-lifetime artistic vision.

“I really appreciate that they frequently do fundraisers for other organizations in the community,” she said.
Maxon also said Snapdragon curates a unique experience by brewing pairings of tea that go well together, and by steeping it for the right amount of time.
Can’t we all relate to that in some way?
The other characters and subplots of “Twin Peaks” are entertaining and heavy and genius. Lynch writes people who are strange and sympathetic, tropey and unique. He subverts every norm.
Thank you, David. Love makes the world go ‘round.
“It’s like happiness in a cup — which is how I feel every time I come here,” Maxon said.
