Vagabond Inn facelift poised to move forward

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com

Despite being struck down by the City Council in August, plans to renovate Vagabond Inn are under way.

Allen Sigmon Real Estate Group developer Lance Sigmon, whose plans for the renovations were denied after the UNM and the Lomas del Cielo-Clayton Heights Neighborhood Association won an appeal for the project, said the current zoning permit for the Vagabond Inn allows him to reestablish it as a hotel.

The Vagabond Inn is located near the intersection of University and Gibson boulevards. The inn was recently stripped of wiring, and has been a rundown building for years.

Sigmon said the zoning permit that the City Council overturned pushed for the construction of a residential area, 25 percent of which would have been reserved for commercial purposes. But he said the building’s existing SU1 zoning code, the zoning code for hotels and motels, means that he can convert the building back to its original function.

“The hotel zoning code is more flexible than for residential zoning uses,” he said. “We are going to use the lot for an extended-stay room

concept. It’s going to be very hightech and innovative.”

According to Sigmon, the extended-stay hotel will provide housing to visitors for a longer period of time compared to normal hotels, although it will still let in short-term visitors. He said he expects visitors to stay for at least a month, which makes the hotel comparable to a residential area.

Sigmon said the company put a fence around the property Oct. 9 to clean up the lot.

Neighborhood association President Lee Graham said the association is not enthusiastic about the new plans, although he said he knew about the existing permit for the property before the association won its appeal to the City Council.

“The neighborhood association is obviously disappointed with the decision, as we were really hoping for a commercial center for the area,” he said.

Graham said he spoke to Sigmon about the project, and that Sigmon is determined to push through with it. But Graham said Sigmon still does not have a permit to officially start the renovation.

“All they’re doing right now is cleanup,” he said. “No permits are issued for the property for any construction. (Sigmon) has not submitted any consistent documents to get that permit.”

In order to get a permit for construction, Graham said Sigmon should submit clear architectural blueprints of his plans to the city’s planning department.

But Sigmon said that because he is making use of the original zoning permit of Vagabond Inn, the City Council has “no jurisdiction over what we’re doing right now.” He said the neighborhood association assumed wrongly that he would totally withdraw his plans to renovate the property.

“They went into an impression that when we lost the appeal, we’re not going to follow through,” he said.

Sigmon said that when his company surveyed 120 residents in the area, 84 percent of neighbors were in favor of the change.

He said that when he learned about UNM’s plans to demolish the rundown building and put a shopping center in the area, he met with President Frank to discuss UNM’s plans.

Sigmon said Frank is already aware of the project and that he was “very kind and appreciative” about it.

Sigmon said that because the 45 acres of land around Vagabond Inn remain untouched by the University, he believes UNM does not have plans to develop the lots.

Aaron Andler / Daily Lobo Although plans to renovate the Vagabond Inn into a residential area were struck down by City Council in August, developer Lance Sigmon said he will move forward with plans make the hotel fully functional. Sigmon said the current zoning permit for the Vagabond Inn allows him to re-establish the hotel.

“You don’t see UNM breaking ground into it, so obviously UNM doesn’t have any plans,” he said.

“There is no demand for commercial spaces.”

Sigmon said the renovation will cost around $5 million. He said his company is currently in the design phase of the project.

Graham said the neighborhood association still looks forward to a commercial center in the area, although the association does not have any concrete plans to appeal

the current project, because it is too early in the process for them to create plans. He said the association cannot do anything about the project at this time, but he doesn’t completely reject the idea of converting the Vagabond Inn back into a hotel.

“Personally, I am not opposed to him renovating it as a hotel because it’s what the original purpose was,” he said. “If he keeps it as a hotel, I certainly welcome him to the neighborhood.”

UNM concerned about cyclists Foundation fosters freshman futures

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com

Because of the growing population of bicyclists and skateboarders on campus, monitoring riders has become a bigger concern at UNM, said Interim Dean of Students Kim Kloeppel.

“With the addition of many students on campus and additional enrollment, it’s more congested on campus because there’s more people who use alternative forms of transportation,” she said. “We are concerned with … making sure the campus is safe for pedestrians.”

According to the University

Business Policies and Procedures Manual, users of “nonmotorized vehicles,” which include bicycles and skateboards, must always yield to pedestrians and people who use wheelchairs. The manual also prohibits the use of these vehicles in areas 15 feet around campus buildings and the performance of “acrobatic maneuvers (and) stunts,” especially on ramps.

Violators of the policy may have their vehicles seized by the University, and might even be subject to arrest.

The policy also mandates that the president of the University has the right to ban any nonmotorized vehicles on campus permanently.

The policy has been in effect since January 2000.

Kloeppel said UNM is looking for a way to make the interaction among pedestrians, cyclists and skateboarders smoother. She said the University aims to adapt a culture known as “Share the Classroom and Sidewalk Responsibly,” in which students get off their bicycles when campus is busy.

But Kloeppel said the University has received complaints from students who have been hit by riders who do not follow the policy.

UNM student Caitlin Brotan said that although bicycles and

news@dailylobo.com About a quarter of UNM freshmen don’t return for a third semester, and a new program launched this year aims to combat that.

First-semester freshman Rachel Riley said she had trouble deciding which classes to take and that she didn’t know how to structure her class schedule. She said if she had more advisement during the registration process, she probably would be having a better experience her freshman year.

“I feel like if that had happened, I wouldn’t have taken some classes at the times I did,” she said. “Other than that, I have had a really great time so far. I’m finally getting the hang of balancing my social and school time.”

At UNM, about 76 percent of students who were freshmen last year returned for a third semester this year. In order to gauge how to improve the freshman experience for students like Riley, UNM President Robert Frank and Provost Chaouki Abdallah adopted the Foundations of Excellence.

Administrators were given $40,000 to fund the program, which officially launched at a Student Success Summit on Sept. 19.

The program includes more than 200 students, faculty and staff members who volunteer to work on the nine dimensions of the program. These include an organization dimension, which will provide a coherent firstyear experience to all students through both curricular and extra-curricular actives, and a transitions dimension, which will outline the University’s responsibilities to students, including support for educational success. It will also communicate clear curricular and co-curricular expectations.

Members of each dimension will meet at the next summit on Feb. 27.

In November, program organizers will issue a survey for freshmen that will include a series of questions related to the dimensions in order to help guide the decisions made within each dimension.

Associate Provost for Curriculum Greg Heileman said that until March 2013, members will assess the reasons behind retention problems at the University and collect and respond to questions that arise from research. He said that after research is completed, an action plan will be developed to improve the freshman experience.

to save money

If you’re in college, chances are you’re broke, or at least close to it.

The Daily Lobo spoke with Thomas Crow, an investment adviser at Crow Financial, to better understand how college students can save money and stay debt-free.

Step 1

Get a bus pass.

Step 2

Cook your own food.

If you take the bus or walk, instead of using your car, you can save the money you would usually spend on gas and postpone maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotation and alignment. Leaving your car at home will also make it less likely to be vandalized or broken into, and you won’t have to spend money on parking.

Crow said that although it may seem easier and cheaper to buy food from the dollar menu at McDonalds, you can grocery shop for much less, especially if you use coupons. He advised deciding which foods are necessary and which foods are not and limiting the amount of unnecessary food purchases you make.

For students who have a meal plan for on-campus eateries, such as La Posada, use the plan to the fullest extent.

Use the meals you’re allowed per semester, rather than eating somewhere else and letting meals you’ve already purchased go to waste.

Step 3

Buy it used or on sale.

Make use of thrift stores or other discount retail stores for home dÊcor, furniture, electronics and anything else that you may need for your dorm or apartment. It’s likely the items you furnish your room with while in college won’t move with you, so it’s unnecessary to invest in things you will probably get rid of within the next few years.

Make sure you know how your bank works.

Crow said every bank is different and some banks may have special policies. Some banks put extra money away in reserve funds each time you make a debit card purchase, and then give you the extra money back once the transaction is processed. For example, if you purchase gas with a debit card, your bank might take $100 out of your account even though you only spent $80. The bank will then credit your account $20 within a couple of days.

Banks also offer different types of accounts, such as checking and savings accounts, so you should choose an account that best suits your needs.

Crow said to pay attention to banks’ processing fees for services such as checks, cash withdrawals and money transfers. He said some banks may limit the amount of money you can withdraw or spend and the amount of transfers or withdrawals you make.

Crow advised comparing credit cards to see which bank offers the lowest interest rates before opening or using a credit card. He said that although a credit card may occasionally be necessary, fees or interest charges may apply and need to be taken into consideration with every purchase.

Step 5

Be careful about credit cards and loans.

Step 6

Save money the Lobo way.

It’s important to set aside money each month to avoid using a loan or a credit card if you’re in a financial crisis and emergency money should be used for emergencies only. Although credit cards and loans can be useful, it’s an easy way to incur debt and interest that you may not be able to pay back.

skateboards are useful methods of transportation for students, they can often harm students. She said she has almost been hit by a bicycle multiple times.

“It’s kind of obnoxious,” she said. “I think it’s annoying sometimes, when they’re riding in and out of heavypopulated areas with students.”

Brotan said cyclists and skateboarders have been damaging furniture in some buildings.

“I live in the new (Casas del Rio) dorms, and they just put new patio furniture outside,” she said. “They’re starting to ruin it.”

Brotan said that although the University is trying its best to enforce the policy, she thinks the administration’s efforts are weak.

She said the University should designate areas and hours for people to use their vehicles and monitor riders more closely.

Thursday, October 18, 2012/ Page 3

“Actually, I’ve never seen anybody monitor it,” she said. “But I’m sure they’re doing the best that they can.”

UNM Police Department Lieutenant Bob Haarhues said it is not UNMPD’s responsibility to enforce the policy because it is not a formal law in New Mexico.

“We don’t enforce policies; we enforce laws,” he said. “There’s no law about bicycling and skateboarding, only policies.”

Instead, Haarhues said the Dean of Students Office is responsible for enforcing the policy.

Kloeppel said the Dean of Students Office has been cooperating with other campus departments, including Parking and Transportation Services and the Accessibility Resource Center, to ensure enforcement of the policy.

She said UNM has implemented “Be Kind,” an initiative which

provides more signage on buildings and asks students to confront other students when they notice riders who disobey the policy.

Kloeppel said the initiative has been going on for eight years.

“We are trying to make the campus safer,” she said. “This is a problem that we have been working on, and we’re very aware of it.”

Kloeppel said the University is planning to hire two to three students to patrol the campus, an effort which will be funded by Student Affairs. Although she did not provide a particular start date for the program, she said it will take place soon.

“We like to have more monitoring, but we would like to have more personnel to do that,” she said. “We know this is a problem, and we want to create a culture on campus where everybody gets along.”

from page 1

“The retention is a byproduct.

We want the first-year experience to be meaningful here, to be world class,” he said. “This is a research one institution that is flagship in the state; this should be an unbelievable experience for freshmen coming in. We need to make it better and so that’s what we want to get out of this.”

UNM student Zachary Trevathan said that because he had to commute to campus his freshman year, he was less involved on campus than other freshmen may have been. He said the University should provide a program that ensures students become involved with the University.

“I feel like I missed out on some cool opportunities,” he said. “I wish there had been an outreach program for kids who had to commute.”

CORRECTION In the article “Hospital approval delayed,” published in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, the article states that “according to the New Mexico Hospital Association, the occupancy rate at UNMH is 63 percent.” The article should state “New Mexicans for Equal Health Care Access spokeswoman Kim Moss said in a press release that according to the New Mexico Hospital Association, the occupancy rate at UNMH is 63 percent.” The error was made in reporting.

Growth of prison labor harms small businesses

by Will Thomson

Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com After some struggle, the minimum wage increase will be on the ballot in November.

This measure would increase the minimum wage from $7.50 an hour to $8.50, increase the tipped minimum wage to 45 percent of the regular minimum wage and also keep this minimum consistent with the rising cost of living. After dealing with the frivolous issue of a small typo, the ballot initiative was passed through the state Supreme Court four weeks ago and will appear on the ballot.

Some have raised the criticism that this increase would crunch small employers and make it hard for unemployed youth to find work. However, small businesses and the unemployed today face much tougher and more complex problems than a reasonable minimum wage increase.

One of these challenges is the increased use of prison labor in the United States. While historically prisons have been only a small part of the manufacturing sector, making things like license plates, recent legislation such as the Prison Industries Act has allowed incarcerated workers to manufacture a larger variety of things, and also provided for the sale of these products to the private sector. Indeed, prison labor has been greatly expanded to produce such a wide variety of things as military uniforms, solar panels and even processed meats, such as chicken patties.

While this perplexing trend may only seem to be a problem for the prisoners involved, it also has had a great impact on small businesses and unemployment. The use of this very cheap and ethically murky prison labor undercuts small employers and also takes away jobs at a time when unemployment rates are high and finding a job is difficult.

One example of this practice is Unicor.

This company operates inside 83 federal prisons nationally and makes an annual revenue of $900 million. This company employs prisoners at wages between $0.23 and $1.15 an hour to do a variety of tasks ranging from call center and help desk support to the making of military apparel and solar panels. With unfair competition from companies such as Unicor, other businesses that manufacture these items, such as Tennier Industries, American Apparel and American Power Source, all had to lay off hundreds of employees. While this is only one example, the trend seems to be on the rise.

Like the effects of outsourcing, increased use of prison labor also raises unemployment, as private sector jobs are taken away and given to companies using this cheaper labor source. On this issue Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, commented, “It’s bad enough that our companies have to compete with exploited and forced labor in China. They shouldn’t have to compete against prison labor here at home.” This practice is indeed one that threatens small businesses and works against Americans trying to find employment.

This seems to be only one in a long string of practices that cut down American service and manufacturing workers, who have already had a hard enough time as it is. This example is one of the many that endanger small businesses and workers alike. Looking at large economic structural problems facing small businesses today, I feel that a sensible increase in the minimum wage is one of the last things small businesses have to worry about.

Obama too mum on ammo purchases

by John Tyczkowski

Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com Transparency is one of the most important things sought from the government, especially at the federal level. One of Barack Obama’s election promises was to increase government transparency and keep the American people more aware of what the government does. However, heading into the election, Obama has wasted a major opportunity to deliver on that promise.

Recently, various government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, have been listing purchase orders for large amounts of ammunition. In August, 174,000 rounds were requested by the SSA, 46,000 rounds were requested by NOAA and 450 million rounds of hollowpoint ammunition to be provided over five years were requested by the DHS. Well, these are government agencies that each have their own law enforcement arms. And each of those enforcement arms needs rounds for its officers to train with and to shoot the bad guys with.

So why are these ammunition purchases a matter of concern?

First, some information about the bullets. Hollow-point rounds flatten and fragment upon impact, so they do not penetrate the target. For this reason, they are used by law enforcement in situations in which collateral damage is unacceptable, such as on crowded streets or on airplanes in flight.

However, these rounds are one of the most deadly types out there, because the flattening and fragmentation causes massive in-

ternal damage that usually results in death for people hit by these bullets. They also are one of the most expensive ammunition types. Even so, the purchase of the ammunition may easily be dismissed as part of the routine and necessary operations of keeping our government law enforcement arms functioning in order to keep Americans safe. Indeed, there are many ways to rationalize these purchases, ranging from the reasonable to the paranoid.

A public statement would go far in putting the fears and unease of the American public to rest regarding civilian agencies possessing such massive firepower.

But that’s just the point. All we have is many explanations and theories as to why the government is stocking up on hollow-point ammunition. Given the scale of these purchase orders, it’s very easy to conclude that the government is preparing for massive civil unrest, or to use these rounds against Americans. But it’s just as easy to conclude that the government is simply making bad fiscal decisions and is overspending by buying too many expensive rounds that will most likely only see use in target practice.

While those in the SSA and NOAA have issued statements saying these rounds are standard for target practice and normal operations — while saying little else — they have not said whether such large purchases

are the norm. In addition, the DHS has outright redacted large sections of its ammunition purchase orders with no explanation, and offered no insight into the reasons behind the size of its purchases.

This is a perfect example of how Obama’s commitment to transparency could be put to good use. A public statement would go far in putting the fears and unease of the American public to rest regarding civilian agencies possessing such massive firepower. Not issuing informative statements or clarifications only encourages speculation, which has generated theories ranging from one that proposes these purchases are a disinformation campaign to ferret out anti-government dissidents in preparation for a martial law crackdown, to the DHS preparing to defend American citizens from an imminent terrorist threat courtesy of sleeper agents within the United States, to an attempt by the executive branch to usurp power by creating a paramilitary force that is loyal to the current administration, as a counterbalance to the Constitution-loyal military.

I want to be clear that I’m not advocating any of these theories, and in the end, it may all just be a case of poor communication causing needless suspicion and alarm.

What I am advocating is that Obama, either directly or through White House press secretary Jay Carney, needs to head off the dangerous speculation. Otherwise, the situation has the potential to escalate into a major problem that could put Americans at risk, through civil unrest stemming from the current record number of gun sales combined with the growing number of circulating rumors and theories, and the lack of facts to counter them.

Lobo Culture Culture editor / Nicole Perez / @PerezNicoleM

The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895

Bless Me, Ultima’s move to the big screen

A cart filled with green chile bounces down a dirt road; an owl soars over the Sandia mountain peaks; a mother leads her lace-clad children to church.

“From the heart of the land that is our land, from the heart of the culture that is our culture — comes the controversial book that was banned, forbidden and burned.”

So begins the movie trailer for “Bless Me, Ultima,” Rudolfo Anaya’s New Mexican masterpiece turned film. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the novel’s publication, and the film that took six years to complete premieres in Albuquerque on Friday.

Author and former UNM professor Rudolfo Anaya, often considered the father of Chicano literature, said the story’s popularity never ceases to amaze him.

“I never even imagined it would sell 10 copies,” he said. “When I was writing it, I was trying to stay in the zone on creativity and pay attention to the story I was developing. The future was just something else.”

He said the story was based on his experiences as a child working on his grandfather’s farm in Puerto de Luna, near Santa Rosa, N.M. “The theme is learning from a mentor, the elder,” he said. “The history of the people and the land, the history of the plants and how they use them for good, and I think people respond to that relationship.”

Anaya said he was approached by an independent film production group about six years ago to buy the rights to the book. A representative flew to Baja California, Mexico where Anaya was vacationing, just to convince him to sell the rights. From there, the director and writer contacted him for assistance adapting the story for the screen.

A few significant changes were made to the story in the adaptation process, but Anaya said the movie stays true to the heart and spirit of the novel.

“As the author of the novel, I have to remember that the entire novel cannot be put into a two-hour film,” he said. “It’s almost like a novel becoming a short story. The screenplay writer has to pick and choose a narrative line of development, what makes the story work on the screen. And that’s completely different from how the story is working in a book that you’re holding in your hand and reading.”

“Every time ‘Bless Me, Ultima’ got banned somewhere, my fellow writers would call me and say ‘,Hey, how can I get my book banned?’” ~ Rudolfo Anaya author Actor Benito Martinez grew up in Albuquerque’s South Valley and has acted in notable films and shows such as “Sons of Anarchy,” “The Shield,” “Burn Notice” and “24.”

“This project came up and I was like ‘Oh my God, I cannot believe it,’” Martinez said. “I was a little bit skeptical, and then I read the script and it was so true to the book, I thought ‘Oh, I have to do this.’”

Martinez, who plays Gabriel, the main character’s father, said the script alone convinced him to participate in the movie.

“If it’s not on the page, it’s so much work to try to fix it when you’re on set,” he said. “So this is one of the best scripts I’ve ever come across, because it stays true to the original material. Some of it was cut out, but what was in there was very true to the heart of the story.”

Martinez said he has had a variety of acting experiences. His head was chopped off in “Supernatural,” he was hung in the air by a tree in “Mandrake” and he beat people up in “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” But he said there’s always more to learn.

“In ‘Bless Me, Ultima,’ Gabriel is a lot like my father,” he said. “My father is originally from a ranch near Santa Fe, he grew up with horses, he was very much about the earth and the soil and his family ways and his group of friends. I remember when I left home how hard it was for me to leave my dad, and there’s a scene where the boy is leaving and I’m so sad. I remember those moments, and I’m now seeing them through my father’s eyes.”

“Bless Me, Ultima” has been banned from many public schools across the nation, but Anaya said it doesn’t worry him too much.

“Every time ‘Bless Me, Ultima’ got banned somewhere, my fellow writers would call me and say ‘Hey, how can I get my book banned?’” he said. “It creates publicity, it creates an interest and people want to know what could be so terrible about this simple story of a mixed boy growing up in New Mexico in the 1940s with a curandera. Ban a book and people will rush to read it.”

Anaya said there are only a few major films dealing with Mexican-American topics, and he hopes the film will inspire filmmakers to delve further into these types of stories.

“I think it comes at an important time in our history, and I only hope that it gets enough attention so that other producers can begin to look at our lives and our stories and say ‘There’s a lot of good stuff here for movies. We don’t have to do car crashes all the time,’” he said.

Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Michelle Otero plays the part of Ultima at a rehearsal for “Bless Me, Ultima” at the North 4th Art Center on Tuesday. This year is the 40th anniversary of the award-winning novel’s publication, and the play adaptation comes to the KiMo Theatre Friday and Saturday. they passed away, so they couldn’t see me, so I’m really honored to have this role in their memory,” Silva said.

Michelle Otero plays Ultima, a curandera, or traditional healer, and she said she almost turned the part down.

“This was the one that I couldn’t say no to,” Otero said. “Every small town in New Mexico has an Ultima figure, every family has one, and it’s maybe the tía who never got married or the woman who lives alone and you’re kind of afraid to approach her, and yet she has all this wisdom. It’s Ultima, she’s a big deal.”

Otero, who is also a writer and storyteller, said Anaya’s work has shaped her in profound ways.

“Even if I had never read ‘Bless Me, Ultima,’ I would still be influenced by the book,” she said. “Rudy gave all of us permission to write about our grandmothers and our families and to throw in those crazy nicknames the kids in our classes had and to write

about making your first holy communion in a small town in New Mexico.”

She said she hopes New Mexicans see themselves in a new light after watching the play.

“I hope the play does what the book did, in that it gave a lot of New Mexicans an experience to see themselves reflected in all their complexity,” she said. “It’s not like every character in the book is virtuous and good, it’s really like a portion of life in this town, post-World War II, the good the bad and the ugly.”

A live performance of the critically acclaimed novel “Bless Me, Ultima” hits the stage the same night as the movie premiere in Albuquerque. And it’s a complete accident, according to director Liz Chavez.

The Vortex Theatre produces an edited version of Rudolfo Anaya’s script for stage at the KiMo Theatre this weekend, and Chavez said the production subtly differs from the book and film.

“That’s the great thing about theater: it can bring to life different imagery that the book doesn’t embody,” Chavez said. “The book definitely captures the spirit of New Mexico, but you have a main character that in the book is literally an animal owl. In the play we bring her to life through dance, and it can really connect emotionally to the audience. It’s so much more visually stimulating.”

The play runs in conjunction with the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library System’s Big Read program and features 10 cast members, many of whom play multiple roles. The play is only an hour long because Chavez wants it to tour through Albuquerque Public Schools.

Chavez said she hand-picked her cast and chose actors that she knew would care deeply about the project.

“New Mexicans view ‘Bless me, Ultima’ as a stepping stone for us — it began Chicano playwrights, Chicano authors — and Rudolfo Anaya gave us that step,” she said. “The people I chose were people I knew would take pride in it. I didn’t want people to just come in and get a paycheck.”

Ben Silva, the 13-year-old who plays the main character, Tony, has played a munchkin in a production of “The Wizard of Oz” and Flick in a production of “A Christmas Story.” But this is his first lead role.

Freshmen find a voice at annual writing showcase

by Antonio Sanchez culture@dailylobo.com

Professor Christine Reyes Garcia wants to offer a platform for what she says is the least represented community at the University: freshman writers. “A lot of times you look at freshman writing as not beneficial, but the majority of kids that go through UNM go through a core writing course, so if anything, it’s the biggest community out here,� Garcia said.

Friday marks the fourth annual Celebration of Student Writing, a showcase of student writing from 100-level University courses. This year’s event features the work of 40 different classes, ranging from Freshman Learning Community writing courses to Chicano Studies. Each class will be set up throughout the Student Union Building’s three ballrooms, and the work will be displayed at tables, through multimedia displays and spoken word presentations. The student gathering marks the end of the Dean of Students Office Freshman Week. A banner reading “Class of 2016� will be dropped halfway through the event.

Garcia, who is a coordinator of the event, said this year’s celebration features writing samples from students from a wider range of classes than in previous years. She said the event offers a medium through which freshman writers can present their work.

“When you’re an upperclassman, there are forums for you to present your writing. But as a freshman writer, those forums don’t exist; this is the hole that this is filling,� she said.

Garcia has participated in the event since it began in 2009, working to help support the celebration as she began her Ph.D. program at the University. Garcia, now an English 101 professor herself, said the event helps show students their connectivity with the rest of the University community. “It shows students that what they’re doing is not just applicable for me as their teacher in the classroom. They’re a part of this larger community where they come to educate themselves, and one of those basic elements are writing, and it’s happening across the University,� she said.

Ceramic Seduction — Garcia’s FLC ceramics-meets-English 101 class — will participate in this year’s event. Garcia said that because the two subjects rarely mix, her class often delves into abstract writing. Her class is currently creating clay containers; consequently, her students are writing about “what it means to be contained.�

Garcia said the different approach of her class to writing is one of many at the event. “There’s an element of civic duty here, where it shows writers how many elements of writing there are — it’s not just pen to paper,� she said. “There’s all kinds of forms that writing can take. The ways

Juan Labreche / Daily Lobo Students in Anna Knutson’s Freshman Learning Community class, Classic American Literature and Cinema, prepare for this year’s Celebration of Student Writing by compiling a “Burn Book� — in the manner of the movie “Mean Girls� — containing characters from various novels they have read this semester. The Burn Book is part of a matching game and is paired with a list of haikus which are clues to the characters featured in the Burn Book.

This year’s Celebration of Student Writing will display work from 40 different writing courses and will feature the “Class of 2016� banner drop. people conceptualize it demonstrate that.�

First-year professor Clare Jennifer Russell is in charge of marketing the event. With her first semester teaching English 101 halfway done, Russell said the celebration will help her learn what her students have taken from her course.

Russell said that as important as it is for young students to have a platform, this year’s celebration should help students look forward to their future careers. “It’s important that we focus on our first-year

students so that they continue to use writing in ways that benefit their future careers and future studies,� Russell said. “I think that it’s important that if we recognize their work early on, they’ll be motivated to continue their work as exceptional writers.�
