(un)Occupy crosses street to hold meeting by Chelsea Erven and Greer Gessler news@dailylobo.com
UNM Police Department blocked off Yale Park, the former camp site of the (un)Occupy Albuquerque movement, Wednesday afternoon and told protesters they could not hold their general assembly meeting there. The protesters, who hold the meetings at 6 p.m. each day, instead met on the corner of Harvard Drive and Central Avenue. The protesters dispersed after the meeting ended. On Tuesday night, UNMPD and the Albuquerque Police Department were called in to permanently kick the protesters
off campus, and 22 people were arrested for defying orders. University spokeswoman Karen Wentworth said the protesters were in violation of their expired permit and policy no. 2220 of the UNM Business and Procedures Manual, which states: “The University recognizes that the exercise of free expression must be balanced with the rights of others to learn, work and conduct business. Speech activity that unduly interferes with the rights of others or the ability of the University to carry out its mission is not protected by the First Amendment and violates this policy.” Protester Benjamin Hansen said he thinks the administration’s decision isn’t about the protesters’
expired permit, rather that it is an attack on the protesters.
“The park doesn’t close until 10 p.m., so I feel they’re targeting us,” ~Benjamin Hansen protester “The park doesn’t close until 10 p.m., so I feel they’re targeting us,” he said. “I’m not sure if they don’t like our message or what they don’t like about us, but they’re definitely
targeting our rights.” Hansen said he doesn’t think the protesters have been disruptive. “I’ve never occupied a faculty building or locked doors or tried to stop people from going to class, so, quite literally, I’m not disrupting anything,” he said. “Just talking isn’t very disruptive unless it’s the things we’re talking about they consider to be disruptive.” Wentworth said UNMPD is prepared to keep protesters out of Yale Park but doesn’t anticipate largescale arrests. “We’re just going to advise them of the policy that their permit to assemble is not renewed and go from there,” UNMPD spokesman Sgt. Trace Peck said. Protester Larry Kronen is a
lawyer who said he is working with the American Civil Liberties Union to file an injunction against the University. “I believe that we do not need a permit to exercise our First Amendment rights, even though University policy says we do,” he said. Protester and Peace Studies professor Desi Brown said the University’s disregard for the protesters’ rights might not be in its best interest. “There could be serious repercussions for the University if the community and faculty and students stand up against this most basic abuse of rights,” he said. ~Elizabeth Cleary contributed to this report
Police stay civil, but jailers rude (Un)Occupy Albuquerque protester relates night of defiance and arrest by Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com
Juan Labreche / Daily Lobo A State Police officer escorts student and (un)occupy Albuquerque protester Brittany Arneson from Yale Park in zip cuffs Tuesday night. She was on of 22 protesters arrested for remaining on UNM’s Yale Park after University administration ordered the protest off campus.
Brittany Arneson, a UNM student who has become an increasingly visible face of the (un)Occupy Albuquerque protests, said she experienced both kindness and callousness from law enforcement during her arrest and incarceration at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center on Tuesday night. Arneson was one of 22 protesters who voluntarily risked arrest in an act of civil disobedience when State Police, Albuquerque Police Department, and UNM Police Department officers arrived at Yale Park to enforce the expiration of the protesters’ permit for the park. Arneson said she and 12 other arrested protesters were held at the scene in a police transport van for nearly two hours before being taken to the detention center. “They kept us in there for several hours,” she said. “Then they took us down to the jailhouse and we went through the booking process. A lot of us were let out on our own recognizance.” Items such as identification cards, pens, lighters and other pocket items were confiscated from them upon arrest, she said. When they arrived at the detention center, items such as belts, scarves and jewelry were also removed. She said men and women were put in separate cells, and that the protesters weren’t grouped with more serious offenders. “We could see each other sometimes,” she said. “We were specifically told not to talk to each other.” Arneson said she was charged with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor, while others may have been charged with resisting arrest. She said she was the first person to be released, and was out by about 10 a.m. Wednesday. She said some officers were rough with the protesters, but most were sympathetic. “Overall, I would say that the police officers were
very kind to us and respectful,” she said. “They did use unnecessary force with some people — not me. I did watch them pull people up aggressively, but that could also be because the police felt (those people) were more aggressive.” She said the jail staff acted “ridiculous,” and said four female protesters ended up with missing items upon their release, including shoes and jewelry. She also said staff was hostile on several occasions.
“We got more respect from the people who arrested us than from the people who were containing us.” ~Brittany Arneson protester “They said that we weren’t taking this seriously enough … the fact that we were protesters and we were still doing our chants and singing while we were in the paddy wagon. … On several occasions we were called stupid. They said many things that led us to believe this is pointless and that we don’t have a justice system anyway.” Arneson said protesters were teased and sworn at. “We got more respect from the people who arrested us than from the people who were containing us,” she said. She was released on the conditions that she not violate any federal, state or local criminal laws and to notify the court of any address change. Arneson said the punishment for her criminal trespassing charge will be decided in court next month.
Top education officials discuss student loans by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
During a conference call Wednesday, White House education representatives spoke about the Obama administration’s new efforts to help student loan borrowers manage their debt. The Daily Lobo talked to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council Melody Barnes and Special

Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Raj Date about a new proposal from the Department of Education. Duncan said the proposal will contribute billions in loan restructuring for students to help them secure jobs. “Young people today are struggling,” he said. “They are struggling to find a good job and they are struggling to find a job at all. We are increasing Pell grants and
funding students by $40 billion over the next decade.” Duncan said funding would come from redirecting bank subsidies toward student loan funding, and would not require additional taxes. Barnes said a “pay as you earn” plan will help Americans manage student loan debt by capping monthly payments at what each individual can afford: 10 percent of the individual’s monthly income.

“Ensuring that every student has access to a quality, affordable education has been a priority for the president,” she said. “While college is an excellent investment, (the president) also knows that those costs are high. Some may be discouraged from entering education or other lower paying jobs because of loan debt.” A similar bill passed by Congress lowering the repayment cap from 15 to 10 percent is scheduled to go into effect in 2014, but the
current proposal will accelerate the change to 2012. Additionally, students would be forgiven remaining debt after 20 years, rather than 25. Barnes said the plan would help about 1.5 million borrowers. She said the conference call was an effort to reach more students about the new plans. “Three hundred and sixty million borrowers are out there, only 450,000 are taking advantage of

the current plan, which caps payments at 15 percent,” she said. “We are really hoping that as we have this conversation with the nation … people will take advantage of this.” The Daily Lobo asked if the Department of Education considered tying federal loan amounts to predicted student success by degree, or creating student loan incentives to funnel students into the most hirable jobs in a struggling economy. According to a list compiled by Time magazine, those who enter career fields including counseling, psychology and early childhood education are much less likely to secure jobs, high-salary jobs especially. This could mean borrowers from those degrees would be unable to repay loans, while those in high-demand fields such as engineering would be able to repay loans much more quickly, and fill some of the most needed high-tech positions. “We have not tied incentives to more hirable jobs,” Duncan said. “What we are trying to do is make these payments contingent upon how much you are making, and so where folks are in a very lucrative profession, they will pay more on absolute basis, not on a relative basis. Folks that are doing great work in a less profitable position
… will pay less (monthly).” Duncan said consolidating existing loans from multiple agencies will help remove confusion when paying bills. The plan would consolidate $400 billion in Federal Family Education Loans with newer Direct Loans in one bill this January. “We are consolidating this all into one bill, making it easier to understand,” he said. “Without multiple bills, students are less likely to default.” Date said a third goal of the proposal is to provide consumers with better information about college loans. The administration created the “Know Before You Owe” financial aid shopping sheet, which will allow students to view the costs and risks of student loans and various financial aid packages from multiple universities before making decisions. “We believe student lending should be about making life better, not making life worse,” he said. “Right now the financial aid process is complex and confusing, and it’s confusing in three different ways: One, financial aid letters are full of jargon, it’s hard for students to compare offers from different schools; Two, the award letters don’t explain the different types of financial aid …; Three, students can’t easily determine how much
debt they are taking on, and how much debt is too much debt.” Prior to the conference call, President Barack Obama spoke to students Wednesday about his plan to lower student loan debt at the University of Colorado in Denver. “I’ve been in your shoes; we did not come from a wealthy family,” Obama said during the speech. The president said he and the First Lady paid off nearly $120,000 in debt incurred from student loans.

Opinions vary on exactly how many, but the firm estimates that the nation will need an additional 1 million each year by 2020 to sustain its economic health. That would mean increasing today’s annual total—2.5 million—by 40 percent. As of the fall 2011 semester, full-time tuition at UNM is $2,904 per semester, according to the Office of Institutional Research. UNM’s tuition has risen by $13.35 per credit hour since spring 2011. OIR records shows tuition has risen by about that amount every semester for a decade. McKinsey & Company found a correlation between degree-completion rates
and high tuition: The report said universities like UNM must simultaneously attract additional students, increase the proportion of those students who complete a degree, and keep a tight lid on costs in order to keep tuition from going through the roof. UNM also has had a flat completion rate of 44 percent for the past 10 years, according to the OIR. Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah asked the UNM community to consider McKinsey & Company’s report in an Oct. 9 University-wide email. “As we start our academic planning discussions this year, it is important to firmly establish the mission of UNM while also focusing on building a sustainable funding model to support our goals,” he said.

UNM is doomed to constantly raise tuition and student fees in order to survive, according to a global management consulting firm. A report entitled “Winning by degrees: The strategies of highly productive higher-education institutions,” written by McKinsey & Company, said conventional state universities, such as UNM, are “ripe for disruption.” “Due to decreasing state support and increasing costs, higher education tuition and fees rose by 439 percent between 1985 and 2005,” the report said. “By comparison, health care costs rose by 251 percent during the same period.” McKinsey & Company acts as

Save NM’s natural chile plant from GMO Editor,
As some may know, October has been declared Local Food Month. Of course, this means nothing without events to inform and involve the public about the importance of not only local food, but also the bettering of our entire food system. Thus, October seems the appropriate month to announce the beginning of UNM Fair Trade Initiative and Save New Mexico Seeds’ campaign to keep New Mexico’s chile pure and stop genetically engineered chile. The genetically engineered chile pepper, which is being produced by New Mexico State University and funded by the New Mexico Chile Association, is scheduled to come into the market some time in the next year. Our campaign hopes to stop this action by shutting down the market for the genetically engineered chile in New Mexico through asking local businesses not to purchase the chile when it is released. Although there are many arguments against the genetic modification or engineering of any crop, it seems the most straight-forward one, for this situation, would be that to New Mexicans the chile is a thing of pride and tradition, and with the genetically modified chile pepper comes a great threat to this most beloved food. To officially begin this campaign, these two groups will be holding an event on Saturday, Oct. 29th at 4 p.m. in Woodward Hall. This will be a lecture with such prominent speakers as Dr. Vandana Shiva, physicist and author who has written a number of books about biodiversity and bioethics; Percy Schmeiser, a canola farmer and seed breeder who has, for years, fought Monsanto over contamination of his crops; and Dan Ravicher, a lawyer who has filed a lawsuit against Monsanto on behalf of organizations such as the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association. This issue is one that affects all New Mexicans, and I hope that together we can keep our chile pure. Will Thomson UNM student

Editor’s note: This letter references a comment posted on DailyLobo.com on the story “Woman dies at Camp Coyote,” published in Tuesday’s paper. Editor, I would like to pay my condolences to the friends and family of Stephanie, who passed away at Camp Coyote on Saturday night, as well as to the (Un)Occupy Albuquerque community. Losing a community member is always a devastating occurrence on our campus that is both tragic and heartbreaking. Yesterday, I was informed that I was erroneously quoted in the online comments of the Daily Lobo website. My name has been used in an entirely fabricated quote. While I feel that the comments section of the Daily Lobo is an excellent way for students to voice their valuable opinions, I would like to stress that actual quotes and comments from me are available through official press releases from the GPSA office, on the GPSA website and in official interviews with reporters. I hope that my peers and fellow Daily Lobo readers will understand the nature of the false accusation, and I look forward to continuing to work together to strengthen the UNM community.

Column
Regent sheds light, urges input by Jacob P. Wellman
Student Regent Daily Lobo Guest Columnist
An assortment of opinions about the Board of Regents exists within our University community — positive and negative, informed and unfamiliar alike. Through a series of periodical letters, I hope to shine some light on who the regents are and what we do as the governing board of this University. New Mexico may be called a poor state by some measures, but we are incredibly wealthy in higher education. Our state has more institutions of higher education than many of our neighbors. We offer high school seniors a robust tuition-assistance program through the Lottery Scholarship and sustain a gifted faculty and talented student body with diverse backgrounds and interests. At UNM we boast more than 25,000 students from around the world, thousands of faculty conducting worldclass research and some of the best studentathletes in the nation. The state’s flagship University also requires a budget upward of $2 billion and partnerships with local, state, federal and international government organizations. The direction of this flagship institution is entrusted by the New Mexico constitution to a board of seven regents appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. As the student appointee (the state constitution
Non-alcoholic beer a smart alternative Editor,
Alcohol plays a major part in the upcoming holidays. Even those of us who are not supposed to imbibe often do so because we want to fit in. It doesn’t take too many drinks for one to do or say something dumb, especially for us “lightweights.” To this end, I would recommend that anybody who feels the urge to drink at a party consider buying a six pack of non-alcoholic beer and drinking that instead. Ten non-alcoholic beers have the alcohol content of one regular beer, so a person would need to drink a keg to feel anything, and who’s going to do that? The advantages of drinking commercial non-alcoholic beers at a party are plentiful: The beer tastes and looks almost the same. Even the label is practically identical. Best of all, you are guaranteed to fit in, and you will be able to drive a car without being stopped by the police.
requires one seat to be filled by a student), I was vetted and recommended by a student government committee, University leaders, Gov. Susana Martinez and the state’s Senate Rules Committee, and finally confirmed by the New Mexico State Senate. Our regents are leaders in areas important to this state: education, law, business and policy, among other disciplines. As the governing board, the regents make critical decisions, among which are creating UNM’s strategic direction, setting tuition and fees, approving annual budgets and hiring the University President (more to come on these roles in future letters). Regents govern through committee work, set annual goals for the President and represent UNM to the state community and policymakers. We must balance the needs of the University and its varied constituents with the role that UNM should play in the context of the state of New Mexico. Of course, every action must be evaluated for its immediate impact as well as the effect it may have far into the future. Our job description is challenging and unique, especially so for the student regent. In my role, I find it important to act from the perspective of a current student, to stay abreast of what issues are important to students and other constituencies at UNM and to maintain the inclusion of student input in University decisions. In my eyes, keeping up a continuous dialogue with constituency groups is an important way to

UNM should celebrate, not shut down, protest Editor,
The Occupy Wall Street movement has been a historical event for my generation. As the youth, it is important that we stand up for what we believe in. We are the ones who need to be in charge of our future. In the 60s, colleges were prime spots for change and protests. Some may have gotten out of control, but Occupy Wall Street has yet to see any violent acts from protesters, not just in New Mexico but throughout the United States. Universities and colleges are supposed to be institutions of change and growth for every
stay accountable and maintain communication with the University community. Speaking regularly with student government leaders helps me identify opportunities for the University to act in students’ best interest. I encourage every student interested in their own education to do the same, but I realize that is not always enough. The regents value public input at committee and board meetings, and I personally welcome your questions and appropriate feedback. When not in class or meetings, I am available in the Office of the Student Regent off the SUB Atrium, or around the clock at stregent@unm.edu. If you have any other topics that merit thorough explanation in this format, please send in your suggestions. As my colleagues do, I hope to provide leadership to help UNM become the best university for our state and our students. In order to be successful, many hands must help us improve. Just as it is important to be civically engaged by voting in every election, it is well worth your time to weigh in on issues that are important to you at UNM. Speak with ASUNM or GPSA, and if you have something important to say, bring it to the regents. This is your education as well as mine that we are working to better; let’s do it together. This school year promises to be exciting and transformative for present and future Lobos. It is my pleasure to serve, and I look forward to working with many of you around the University in the next year and a half.
individual, as well as places for students to come and learn who they are and what it is they stand for. Occupy Wall Street, like I said before, is a historical event that needs to be celebrated. How many people have seen such a huge gathering for change? It started as a small idea and has grown into something that will never be forgotten. It will be something I tell my children about. It is a movement supporting every forgotten voice in America. Why would the University want to shut down such a movement? UNM is also the core of the city of Albuquerque and they are not only shutting down our students, but also the community that supports and stands behind this institution. Everyone deserves a voice and to be heard. Let us support our community and our students to stand for something and be a part of a nationally historical movement. They are not just protesting for themselves or the person next to them or the community, but also for you. Safiyya Archuletta UNM student

GOP embraces flat taxes by Stephen Ohlemacher The Associated Press
CLASSIFIEDS Find your new home!
Nati Harnik / AP Photo In this Oct. 22 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain discusses the flat tax in Des Moines, Iowa. This type of tax faces tough opposition in Congress because it tends to favor the rich at the expense of others. for those at the top trickle down to the rest of the population. “This idea of lowering taxes on high-income people and somehow middle class people will benefit has been there for a long time,” said Chuck Marr, director of federal tax policy at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. “Obviously, it hasn’t worked very well.” Flat tax plans by both Cain and Perry have provisions to protect lowincome families from tax increases, but that raises questions about who will be left to pay the tab, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank. “If you exempt the low-income people from higher taxes, if you cut the taxes for the wealthy, getting the same amount of revenue means the middle class are going to pay more — a lot more,” Williams said. The federal income tax currently has six marginal tax rates, also known as tax brackets. The lowest rate is 10 percent, and it applies to taxable income up to $17,000 for a married couple filing jointly. The top tax rate is 35 percent, on taxable income above $379,150. “Taxable income” is income after deductions and exemptions, which can greatly reduce the amount that is taxed. There are also many tax credits that can further reduce tax bills. In all, nearly half of U.S.
households pay no federal income tax because their incomes are so low or because they qualify for so many tax breaks, according to the Tax Policy Center. Households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 pay, on average, 7.2 percent of their income in federal income taxes. By contrast, the top 10 percent of households, in terms of income, pay more than half of all federal taxes and more than 70 percent of federal income taxes, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Cain’s plan would scrap most of the current tax system. He would eliminate the payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare, and replace the progressive federal income tax with a flat 9 percent tax on income. He would lower the corporate income tax from 35 percent to 9 percent, and impose a new 9 percent national sales tax. The tax on capital gains would be eliminated. The only income tax deductions allowed under Cain’s original plan were for charitable contributions. He has since said people living below the poverty line — $22,314 for a family of four — would also be exempt from income tax. Perry’s plan would impose an optional 20 percent flat tax. Families could choose between the current tax structure and a new 20 percent tax on income, presumably picking the one that taxes them the least.

WASHINGTON — The flat tax is making a comeback among Republican presidential candidates, but it faces tough opposition in Congress because it tends to favor the rich at the expense of other taxpayers, renewing an old debate about trickledown economics. Most of the top GOP contenders — Mitt Romney’s an exception — offer a variation of the tax plan in which everyone pays the same rate. Businessman Herman Cain has his 9-9-9 proposal, and Texas Governor Rick Perry unveiled a 20 percent flat tax on income this week. Even Romney foresees a flatter tax system in the future, though he favors something closer to the current setup in the short term. The idea of a flat tax has long been championed by conservative politicians as being simple and fair. Publisher Steve Forbes made it a centerpiece of his Republican presidential campaigns in 1996 and 2000. Forbes has endorsed Perry, calling his economic plan “the most exciting plan since (Ronald) Reagan’s.” “American families deserve a system that is low, flat and fair,” Perry wrote in his tax plan. “They should be able to file their taxes on a postcard instead of a massive novellength document.” Conservative economists argue a flat tax would promote long-term economic growth by lowering taxes on the people who save and invest the greatest share of their income: the wealthy. Lowering taxes on the wealthy, however, could prove politically difficult, especially now with protesters around the country occupying public spaces and calling for the rich to pay more. President Barack Obama and many Democrats in Congress also want higher taxes for the highest-earning Americans. “It’s all about political rhetoric,” said William McBride, an economist in the Tax Foundation, a conservative think tank. “The inevitable result of shifting the tax burden away from saving and investment is that you reduce the tax burden on the rich.” Liberals and many moderates complain that a flat tax is a giveaway to the rich, renewing an old debate over whether the benefits of tax cuts

Don’t just settle for your typical toothy jack ‘o lantern: We’re pushing you to bring out your creative side this halloween. Ever seen those intricately designed pumpkins depicting sculptured realistic faces, leaping animals and castles in relief? Follow these steps to carve out one of these pro-looking pumpkins of your very own. Scott Cummins, a Texas pumpkin artist, lists these pointers on his website, Pumpkingutter. com. The Daily Lobo tested out his methods in hopes of making all the mistakes you might have made despite having followed the instructions with care. His instructions are as follows, with some supplementary pointers we found useful along the way. Items you will need: Ribbon tool (or other flat blade to remove rind, such as a potato peeler), Knives: a range of sizes for different levels of detail. Sharpened melon baller, ice cream scoop, or simply your hands. Whatever you prefer to gut a pumpkin with. Stiff-bristle brush. Because we did not have all of these specialized tools, we used a vegetable peeler instead of the ribbon tool and a Brillo Pad instead of the stiff-bristle brush. SELECTION Choose pumpkins that are relatively heavy for their size, because this is an indicator of a thick rind. A thick rind is ideal, for it will give you more room for error. You can use any tool to gut the pumpkin, or even leave the guts intact. Whatever you do, remember that maintaining the rind’s thickness is
crucial to a successful end result. When cutting an opening, angle the blade inward, pointing it toward the center of the pumpkin.
carved the basic features, sans detail. We can’t emphasize this enough: When in doubt, cut off less than you think. The peeler was also helpful in this stage for shallow removals.
CONCEPTUALIZING For those who are not so artistically inclined, Cummins writes that the carving-the-rind method is the most forgiving. For any amateur, he suggests that you don’t bite off more than you can chew (figuratively, though consuming large pumpkin chunks is probably a choking hazard). You can have an idea in mind or a drawing to go off of, but Cummins suggests you allow yourself to depart from your original plan if necessary. He writes that he has done so for each of the hundreds of pumpkins he has carved and has yet to ruin a single one. First, skin your pumpkin. Use a ribbon tool or any kind of flat blade that could peel off the thin skin layer. This is very straining on your hands if you are using a simple vegetable peeler, as we were. Sometimes it is helpful to switch off with a knife.
DEFINE Now that you have something resembling a face, you can add in the preliminary details. Cummins suggests having reference material handy, a face carved by nature to inform your manual creation. For this step, use smaller ribbon tools or others conducive to carving small features, such as X-Acto knives. Preliminary details include outlining the nose and forming the general slopes and nostrils. Carve mouth details like teeth if you wish, and if your pumpkin is to have eyebrows, Cummins advises you to leave them protruding and carve away the surrounding areas. This step caused some difficulty for us. When adding basic details, make sure you have a clear picture of what every cut will do to the flesh.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS You will then carve out the general features. Keep in mind that details will come later, so you should exercise caution to keep the rind fairly thick. You can always go back and carve deeper, but you can’t add flesh back in if you go too deep. In this vein, you will want to determine which features will be more prominent. Leave more rind in these areas, carving facial depressions around them. Cummins recommends you start by gouging out eye sockets with your ribbon tool or suitable substitute. Place them anywhere you want, but remember to leave a nose bridge in between. Work your way out from here until you have

REFINE Use your stiff brush to clear your pumpkin’s emerging countenance of any debris. Then, use the scouring pad or other mildly abrasive tool to polish away roughness. Because this is an easy step, Cummins writes many novices are apt to overdo it, effectively rubbing the character off. Your fresh-faced pumpkin is now ready for finer touches such as hair and wrinkles. The scouring did not seem to do much except moisten the carved surface, so perhaps a stronger variety of steel wool is necessary. We did not have any smaller tools to add the very last details, so we considered the carving finished after polishing it.

Science emulates the supernatural at local hackerspace event by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu
Zach Gould/ Daily Lobo Fluorescent liquids like club soda bubble over a UV light in front of Quelab President Gregory Moran. Moran worked on a pumpkin last Sunday that will be lit withLEDs (light emitting diodes) as part of Quelab’s Haunted Lab Saturday. Participants will be able to make their own pumpkin LED kits with customized blinking and color schemes at no extra cost.
At one Albuquerque group’s Halloween festivities, nothing is left up to the supernatural, for technology rules. Quelab, a “hackerspace” where jacks of all trades, ages and professions meet to build anything from LEDs (light-emitting diodes) to magnetic silly putty, will host an event Saturday demonstrating a variety of gadgets applicable to all things Halloween. Gregory Moran, Quelab’s president, said demonstrations and activities will include ghost costumes crafted from cellophane and clear packaging tape, LED bugs out of egg cartons and pipe cleaners, brains made from silicone caulking and diluted highlighter ink and, perhaps the creepiest, a human-sized dark brown skeleton made from shrink-wrapped plastic grocery bags. He said the audience will be able to interact with everything featured at the event. “The haunted lab theme is going to be part learning and part teaching,” he said. “So we’ll have everything set up as hands-on demonstrations, and then a part of that will be to actually build something.” Moran, an Air Force program manager for satellite systems, said Albuquerque’s Quelab is one of around 200 hackerspaces around the world. The concept was conceived in Europe 15-20 years ago, and caught on in the United States around five years ago, Moran said. Adric Menning, co-founder and board member of Quelab, said this hackerspace is only one year old and relies on member dues to sustain itself, but it also uses events such as this one to generate revenue. “One of the reasons we do our big public events is to pay our rent and keep the lights on while we’re still building membership up to a level that can sustain the whole place,” he said. “But even if we get to that level of membership, we want to keep doing (these events) because, when we drag people in, I see excitement in their eyes, and that is a beautiful thing.” When the group isn’t putting on events, Moran said it serves as a place for members or non-members to experiment with new projects and ideas, fix broken electronics for practical use, do business work online and meet up with friends and other likeminded people. He said people can make just about whatever they like in Quelab’s small downtown space. “The purpose of the space is to make things,” Moran said. “In
the big picture sense, there’s few places where you can really play, so this will help inspire that in others. Once you learn something, the space is also set up to be able to help you teach. The learning part is important, and to us the teaching is just as important.” Walter Duran, a UNM employee and vice president of Quelab, said he learned how to fix his pair of broken speakers with Ray Finch, an electronics technician and Quelab board member. “They were just $50 speakers, not super expensive, but I just felt stupid going out and finding another $50 pair of speakers when I could just fix it for, like, $1,” Duran said. Menning, a network operations technician for a local Internet service, said many of the members got involved with Quelab because they didn’t have a workshop space of their own, but that this was not his motivation for participating. He said he was most attracted to the group collaboration aspect of Quelab. “I don’t believe hackerspaces are inventing, because that’s been happening since the first person bashed a rock into another rock,” Menning said. “But I do think that one thing places like this really foster is collaboration on your ideas. Halfway through (a project), you’re talking to somebody else and they go ‘Oh, that would be really awesome hanging from the bottom of a helicopter.’” He said modern innovations do not just come from large corporations such as Google or Apple, but are originated from individuals, and this is why a hackerspace is so valuable. “This is how new inventions come about,” he said. “This is how new Edisons and things like that work. … Either you can believe that they all come from big corporations, or you can believe that the individual can have neat ideas, and maybe not even a super-profitable idea, but one that’s super fun.” Regardless of whether the next Edison is at the haunted lab this Saturday, Moran said he guarantees it will be a lot of fun.

Beginning writers make words jump off page by Amanda Gray a.gray.amanda@gmail.com
The Celebration of Student Writing gives beginning English students a chance to express themselves visually, as well as through their writing. The event encourages participants to use skills acquired beyond the classroom by giving them the option to write through art, music, video and interactive art installations, said Genesea Carter, a graduate student in the English department. Carter said she started the first event at UNM in 2009, and this year’s project includes work from nearly 900 students.

Audience members can participate at the event by interacting with the students or simply by leaving commentary on note cards offered at each exhibit, said Anna Knutson, event volunteer and teaching assistant for English 101. “It is an intellectual exercise in the ways we can encourage and empower our students,” Knutson said. In Marie Landau’s English 101 class, students prepare their projects by working in subgroups to bring new ideas to the whole class. One of Landau’s assignments during the semester was for each student to write a short memoir, so for their
Celebration of Student Writing project her students decided each of them would create his or her own aphorisms based on their memoirs, which they will present in an interactive piece on Monday. Audience members must try to match the individual aphorisms, which are printed on separate note cards, to the memoirs that they describe. As for the visual part of the project, the students decided to focus on one particular aphorism taken from the Greek philosopher Heraclitus: “You can never step into the same river twice.” Ari Gomez, a freshman in Landau’s class, said she is enthusiastic about the event.

who among them would take on responsibility in order to complete the project. Gomez said the decision-making process was new to many of the students. “At first we were skeptical. We’re used to the structure of the class, and we always go into groups to be creative and get feedback,” she said. “But with this project we had to create our own structure, which at first was weird for us, but I really liked it and think the others did, too.” Carter said in past years students have transformed their writing into a variety of mediums such as graffiti art, six-word memoirs, and a 6-foot paper

“It’s a cool experience to see writing in a different way rather than just writing an essay, and to have this experience at a young age is really positive,” she said. At first each group was relatively quiet, but it didn’t take long for them to start coming up with a variety of ideas to visually represent the words of Heraclitus. Some students decided to have the words of the philosopher written along the edges of the river, while others wanted to stick with the Halloween theme and incorporate a skeleton walking near a tombstone that displays the definition of the aphorism. Eventually the students agreed on an image and decided

You can get schooled in all things zombie before taking them on next week for the first Humans vs. Zombies game at UNM. Matt Mogk, author of “Everything You Wanted to Know about Zombies,” is presenting his talk, “What You Don’t Know Could Eat You!” at UNM this evening. Mogk said his early interest in zombies led him to pursue a master’s degree at the New York University Film School with a concentration in horror cinema and to write his thesis on zombies. He then formed the Zombie Research Society. “I realized that I was never as scared watching any zombie movie as I thought I would be in a real zombie outbreak,” he said. “That’s really how Zombie Research Society got started. I simply asked the questions, ‘If a zombie were to show up at my front door, what would it look like? What would it smell like? How would it hunt? How would its brain work?’ By asking those and other questions
to real experts in a variety of fields, ZRS was born.” The talk covers zombie history, pathology, anatomy and survival, according to the Student Special Events flier. Mogk said the society’s current work includes composing fictional essays in a collection that chronicles a zombie outbreak in real-time. “Zombie Research Society is dedicated to advancing zombie scholarship and respect in the arts and sciences,” he said. “Our advisory board is made up of leading scholars and authors from across the country. The board has published upward of 20 zombie books in the last two years, both fiction and nonfiction.” George Romero, also a ZRS board member, essentially created the modern zombie with the 1968 movie “Night of the Living Dead,” Mogk said. “The concept caught on because zombies mirror our understanding of infectious disease and catastrophic, man-made and natural disasters,” he said. “We’re all concerned about the end of the world — global warming, nuclear
disasters, economic collapse, terrorism — and zombies serve as a metaphor for these more common threats better than any other popular monster.” He said through his research he has received such significant feedback from renowned virologists, specialists who study viruses and the diseases they cause, that he no longer questions the possibility of a “zombie” pandemic. This is why the society works so hard, he said. Because researchers have yet to learn a lot about zombies, he said formulating adequate strategies is difficult. “One thing we can all agree on is that people make zombies,” he said. “Without people there can be no zombies. So the number one piece of advice I can give about surviving a zombie outbreak is stay away from people.” Box: “What You Don’t Know “WhatCould You Don’t Know Could Eat You” Eat You” SUB Ballroom SUB Ballroom Today,Today, 7 p.m. 7 p.m. Free

First UNM zombie game small, yet promising
You Voted
Find out who won on Nov. 14th!
When the spooks resume their posts in the supernatural world on Halloween, the undead will have just begun to infect the campus. Mark Gorski, organizer of UNM’s first Humans vs. Zombies Game, said he recently graduated from the University of Iowa where one game would often have more than 600 participants. He said this inspired him to start something at UNM
when he moved to Albuquerque. “I consider this playing out a fantasy, but other players may take it differently,” he said. “Everyone plays differently. Part of what makes the game so great is the large number of players and strategies.” The game divides those who register online at unm.hvzsource. com into two groups. At the start, all but one person are humans. The original zombie (OZ) is randomly chosen from a list of volunteers. All players are marked with bandannas — humans wear them around their arms, zombies around their head. It is a basically a massive game of tag, but Gorski said the folks in Iowa took it seriously, getting creative with weaponry and strategy. “People made creative sock weaponry, ammo belts and the like,” he said. “There were even separate forums for human and zombie players to organize. Players would organize to try and either escort fellow humans from class to class or large zombie groups to outnumber the human players.” Gorski said UNM doesn’t have quite enough people for this
Writing
kind of complexity, but hopes the enthusiasm of this year’s participants will act as a catalyst for the growth of next year’s game. As of now, he said some goals include putting a game on every semester that utilizes Nerf blasters and a more formal structure with officer positions. Also he said he’d like to expand participation as well as the game itself to include missions, objectives and rewards for completion. He said his longterm plans are more vague. “I’ve already begun to plan next semester’s game,” he said. “I really am hoping for more people to join next semester’s game. I’ve got a few surprises in the works for future games depending on the level of interest. Maybe prizes — who knows?” Box: First UNMvs. Zombies First UNM Humans Humans vs. Zombies Game Game Infection breaks out Oct. 31 at Infection breaks out 12:01 a.m. Oct. at 12:01 a.m.6 at Game 31 ends on Nov. midnight Game ends on Nov. 6 at midnight Register at unm.hvzsource. com Register at unm.hvzsource.com

mâché tree. Knutson said she has been working all semester with her students on projects to display at the event. Although it takes many hands to coordinate such a large event, Knutson said the Celebration of Student Writings is essentially student-run. “The goal is for the TAs to give their students room to come up with ideas and implement them into the greater structure of Celebration of Student Writing, and it is also about empowering them and giving them a chance to have their voices heard,” she said. Celebration of Student Writing kicks off Freshmen Week, and it couldn’t be more appropriate because it is atypical for students to display their work so early in their academic careers, Knutson said. Celebration of Student Writing incorporates this event into the curriculum as a way to encourage
students to participate and become part of a community. In this respect, Knutson said it becomes a bridge between freshmen and the larger learning community at UNM. Carter said she recognizes the importance of building a community for undergraduate students to display their work and hopes to expand the project. “We really want to move this project outside the English department and invite teachers from other disciplines,” Carter said. “I also wanted to bring it here (to UNM) for retention rates, but students say, because of CSW, they feel that they have agency.”
