Students are fuming about a recent change to the art building’s open hours. Because of a change to security guards’ schedules, UNMPD Lt. Robert Haarhues said the building will now close at 10 p.m. instead of 11 p.m. He said security guards used to leave at 12 a.m. but will now leave at 11 p.m. “The problem is that we’re down three security guards,” he said. “We no longer have the manpower, and UNM’s on hiring freeze. We’re not hiring any more people to replace them. We can’t be everywhere.” Angelina Skonieczka, administrative assistant for the Department of Art and Art History, said her department had no say in the open-hours policy. “I’m sure students will be upset by not being able to work as long, but unfortunately we don’t have much control over that,” she said. “If we want our building opened and closed, we have to go by what they tell us.” Student Kira Vanderkolk, who uses studio space at night, said limited hours make it difficult to complete projects. “The thing about an art major is that you can’t do it all at home,” she said. “With oil painting, unless you have ventilation you can’t do that at home. It puts on a time constraint that a lot of other majors don’t necessarily have.” Student Liz Olive said the change is detrimental to students in metalworking classes. During the day, she said, classes occupy the lab space, and the open hours are limited. The work cannot be done at home. “It’s a very time-consuming class, and when you go to lab, you have to be there for at least three hours in order to accomplish anything,” she said. “Taking an hour off of working in the small metals lab is like destroying your whole project.” Haarhues said the police department hasn’t received complaints and expected the impact to be minimal. “I haven’t heard anyone was upset about it,” he said. “That’s funny because there’s nobody in there when we close the building

The AfroAmerican Experience by Eva Dameron

eva.incognito@gmail.com UNM sophomore Jo Ann Smith sang for President Obama in New York once, which is pretty cool by anyone’s standards. And she doesn’t like the N-word. Jo Ann Smith: Nigga is not a good term. I mean I can understand you saying “negro.” That’s black in Spanish. It’s literal. But saying “nigga,” saying “oh my nigga, my homie” — that was used to demean us. We were hung from trees and dragged and beaten and called that constantly. And being belittled. That’s used as a belittlement to even call your friend a nigga. Like, no! Daily Lobo: So what do you think about rappers throwing that word around? JAS: I don’t know if they really know what they’re talking about. Not only are they belittling their own selves and their own race, they’re belittling their own people. Not only that, they’re belittling women. My mom always says this: “You’re going to be really scrutinized and belittled because not only are you black, but you’re a woman.” We’re, like, very last on the food chain. Before we were even allowed to vote, we still weren’t allowed to vote because we were black, you know? Rappers nowadays these days, they don’t know what they’re talking about. I don’t think it’s cool at all.

JAS: I was like, “You can’t just say that stuff because you know me. If you were around any other black person saying that, you would’ve got jumped. I’m just telling you this to save your butt.” You know how they say, “A drunk mind speaks a sober heart?” Well, I was just going off, rattling, rattling, about everything that bothered me in the past. I was calling him racist and stuff. He says the N-word, clearly blond-haired, blue-eyed. I don’t think it’s OK for anybody to say the Nword. I don’t even say the N-word. And I was saying “Cracker!” like loud and I was pretty drunk, but I didn’t care. I was like, “You like that? You like that?” … And then there are the other classes where you talk about racism or slavery or whatever. I remember being in a lecture hall, and we were discussing slavery, and I’m like one of the three black people in class talking about slavery in front of like a whole classroom — about a good 50-60 people of just white people. DL: Did that make you feel weird? JAS: Yeah, they were making it seem like slavery wasn’t so bad. We were talking about the compensation they’re giving AfricanAmericans in the U.S. — $5,000. DL: They’re giving who, exactly, $5,000? JAS: African-Americans. Blacks. DL: When?

Smith said racial tensions exist on campus, but they’re subtle, and while the school may look diverse, the attitude is not diverse. She hails from Los Angeles and wasn’t prepared for the small-town mentality she finds all over New Mexico, she said. One blue-eyed, blond-haired guy called her “Blackie Chan” and she went off on him.

Bob Knapp joined the Air Force in 1954 and signed his duty as a policeman. Between 1960-70, Knapp served three terms in the Vietnam War. He said he took the tough job because other people didn’t like it. He and his family have moved six times. “I don’t think it’s our business to be the peace maker going around the world and giving away democracy,” Knapp said. “If the people want it, they will go get it themselves.

Students have a chance to get acquainted with what Native American writers, poets and novelists have to offer today and Friday. Kathleen Washburn, professor of Native American literature, said the book festival familiarizes students and community members with Native American literature. “I think whether you’re specifically interested in indigenous literature or not, it’s always interesting to see young writers and young filmmakers and to see creative people who are making their way in that field,� she said. Organized by the Institute for American Indian Research, “Claiming the Word� recognizes Native American month. Keynote speaker Leslie Marmon Silko, a prominent contemporary indigenous writer, poet, essayist and memoirist, will talk at a luncheon and present a public reading of her memoir at SUB Ballroom C. The public is invited to attend.

Lloyd Lee, an assistant professor in the Native American Studies department, said indigenous literature is a communication vessel that breaks down cultural lines. “Their writings have brought to the literature world a distinct North American indigenous perspective on the creativity of the written word,� he said. “This creativity helps people all over the world understand a North American indigenous person’s perspective, thought and way of expression.�

After performing for Obama, she decided to stop singing and focus on being a pre-med student. Then she took Kristen Loree’s performance art class at UNM and realized her true self, so she decided to go into pre-law and minor in entertainment communications. She sang naked onstage for her end-ofthe-semester performance. “When I did that performance arts class, that really opened up my eyes,� Smith said. “Not a lot of people know during that time, that was a really hard time for me. I was going through a break up. It was for me showing the purification of myself to people. Showing that side of myself that nobody knows on campus. Nobody knew that I sang. That’s one reason why I performed it nude. What better way to show your true self to people than just being pure? Who you are? And being nude, you know? So, I mean, that really opened up my eyes to just free myself and become more open.�

JAS: I don’t know. There’s a rumor going around from the government. And they were talking about how we shouldn’t really deserve it ’cause it doesn’t really affect the new generation, and I’m like “Well, I get your point right there. You know, cause I didn’t go through slavery.â€? But because of slavery, I can’t go back to my great-great grandmother because I don’t know who they are because they got sold off, you know? I don’t know completely who my family is. I can’t go back and trace my roots. You can clearly go up to your family and go back to Europe or Asia and clearly see your family’s past.

From the web In Tuesday’s article, “City Council: Alcohol in Pit a bad idea,” Councilor Rey Garduño said having alcohol available in select areas at The Pit is detrimental to the public from a health and safety standpoint. For this reason, Garduño said, the council denied UNM’s liquor-license waiver. Online readers offered their thoughts: by ‘Sweet’ Posted Tuesday “Ha! UNM tries to say the law doesn’t apply to it, and the council says, ‘Well actually …’ So UNM spent $60 million of our money and now wants us to pay it back. How’s that kick in the balls feel, Krebs?” by ‘City Councilors with Brains’ Posted Tuesday “Thank goodness six of the nine city councilors had their brains with them at the meeting. The other three were drinking the UNM Kool-Aid! Those $40,000 season-ticket holders need to drink at their favorite restaurant or bar before they come to the game. Let’s not perpetuate New Mexico’s DWI problem by allowing these special citizens preferential treatment. They don’t have to sit with the rest of us common folk anymore, and I’m glad not to have their stinking a**es next to me.” by ‘Stupid’ Posted Tuesday “You really have smart logic, ‘City Councilors With Brains.’ You say that we shouldn’t perpetuate New Mexico’s DWI problem by allowing these people to drink at UNM games, and instead they should get their drinks at restaurants or bars before the game and then drive to the game … Sounds like smart logic.” by ‘KC’ Posted Tuesday “I commend the city council for seeing through UNM’s unfortunately condescending presentation at (Monday’s) meeting. If UNM pursues this in court, then it will give a black eye to the whole state — and threaten legislative funding to the University. I can see the headlines: ‘State flagship University sues because city council won’t allow it to disregard state ordinance about serving alcohol near schools.’” by ‘Alumni’ Posted Tuesday “Glad this didn’t fly. We can’t successfully hire a football coach, much less successfully manage his off-the-field shenanigans. How is UNM Athletics going to successfully manage liquor sales? The resulting lawsuits from improperly selling to already-impaired patrons would have Ron Bell camped out in front of The Pit in a tent with a lawn chair.”

Letters Schools should focus on anti-bullying policies to protect homosexual students Editor, I read the sad news that another gay teenager killed himself. Fourteen-year-old Brandon Bitner ended his life Nov. 9 by walking into the path of a speeding tractor-trailer when he could no longer deal with the taunting he received from his peers at Midd-West High School in Middleburg, Penn. Gay teens suffer suicide rates three times that of their straight peers. Judging just by what I read in the Daily Lobo and comments posted online to Daily Lobo stories, some of you reading will feel sadness and sympathy while others will feel glee. A few days ago, before Bitner killed himself, I read an opinion piece written by APS Superintendent Winston Brooks in response to the six teens who were goaded into committing suicide by words of hate — mostly from their peers. I applaud Brooks, other education leaders and lawmakers across the nation for creating zero-tolerance, school-based, anti-bullying policies and laws. I know they mean well and have the best interest of our youth at heart, but anti-bullying strategies at schools are but a Band-Aid on a problem that is more deeply rooted and widespread than schools: Intolerance and hate is taught at every turn. I need go no further than the Nov. 9 Daily Lobo front page. Above the fold, the headline said: “Demonstrators condemn homosexuality, Islam.” According to the article, a “visiting Christian group” spent some time

Educational Retirement Board wants to to change guidelines Editor, Everyone contributing to the Educational Retirement Board (ERB) should take notice. The UNM Staff Council sent out one of its usual e-mails Tuesday, and the first paragraph alerts people about changes that the ERB is making. While the e-mail did not outline specific details, a quick look at the New Mexico ERB site (nmerb.org) shows the proposed changes. From the NMERB main page, you can click on the link “NMERB Plan Design Proposals – DRAFT” to view the pro-

on the north side of the SUB spewing hate and intolerance. The article quotes group member Kent Fleck as saying, “We are not here to be effective; we are here to be biblical.” What Fleck meant was that he’s not responsible for the actions of others after he’s filled them with hate for homosexuals and Muslims because he’s only preaching what he believes the Bible says, not asking anyone to commit a crime. Does this argument sound familiar to anyone? It’s the same argument given by anti-abortion groups who publish wanted posters of doctors who perform abortions. Those posters include the doctors’ photographs and home addresses, but those groups claim no responsibility when those doctors are murdered by the groups’ followers. It’s the same with these so-called Christian groups that preach hate. They may not have pushed Bitner into the speeding truck, but with their hate speech they certainly lay the groundwork for others to feel no guilt when making the lives of people like Bitner so painful that they feel they have to take their lives and end the pain. If you feel saddened by Bitner and the six other gay teens’ stories, please do your part to spread tolerance. Please be understanding of people whose sexual orientation is not the same as yours, and please don’t allow others to use pejoratives. If you are glad to hear that another queer is dead and feel hatred toward homosexuals, Muslims or others, please find help. Your poisonous way of thinking is getting innocent people killed.

posal. Read it if you can. It’s interesting. Make no mistake, people: This will affect many New Mexicans. Everyone who works in public schools, junior colleges or universities will be affected by this change. If you are eligible to retire, it seems that now would be the time, otherwise you will have to crunch the numbers. Under the plan, you will need to work for 35 years, or 30 years if you are 60 years old. If you have less than 22 years of service as of June 30, 2011, these changes will apply to you no matter what plan you are under (Tier 1 or Tier 2). I would strongly urge you to start contacting your politicians and voicing your opinion. The ERB contracted Research and Polling Inc. to conduct surveys regarding the proposed changes. This gives the appearance that mem-

bers’ input is valuable, but I don’t recall being informed of the Nov. 8 meeting in which the proposal was approved. I only found out when someone else brought it to my attention. The ERB is supposed to modify the proposal and vote on the final set of recommendations on Dec. 10 at 9:30 a.m. Right now, I am planning to attend the meeting, and I am also crossing my fingers. The NMERB meeting will be at the Albuquerque office at 6201 Uptown N.E., Suite 204.

much for writing this. The Lobo should run it over and over again, and then maybe enough people would see it. I’ve been awake for a few years now — yes, I was one of those “brain-washed political zombies” you referred to. During elections, I think my time would be better spent marching on Washington with a pitch fork and torch. There’s a great little book called The Citizens Rule Book, and you can get your copy at

Daniel Hulsbos / Daily Lobo Artwork pieces, like the one seen in this photo, are found at Cellar Door Gifts and Gallery. Owner Jessica Duverneay said she prefers to sell creepy art instead of mainstream pieces.

THE ONE-STOP MACABRE SHOP Where the weird, local artists can find each other by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu Jessica Duverneay is satisfying morbid curiosities with lurid loot. To be her own boss, Duverneay started the Cellar Door Gifts and Gallery a month ago. Some of her creepy collections include fetus candles and insect-infused jewelry. She said small business inspires creativity and provides space for local artists who are professional and dark, but not vile. “I was sick of working with stupid people, and I wanted to do something cool that was communitybuilding, because I thought artists were going to come here and start meeting each other and feel like their work had a home,” she said. The shop’s oddities challenge societal attitudes toward innocent figures like babies and animals, Duverneay said. She said she has a penchant for the macabre — things that acknowledge life’s unsavory side. “We can choose to be like, ‘It’s part of life,’ and if there’s something we have to confront that’s dark and scary,” she said. “If we can see the lighter side of it or the universality of it, then it becomes a little more acceptable and easier to handle.” Artist Chip Simons’ work is featured at the shop. One of his pieces depicts two human-sized rabbits carrying a large carrot. He said the animals mirror other shop pieces. “Somehow it makes it more surreal and fantastic,” he said.

“Even though they’re kind of innocent and playful, they’re very kind of macabre. It’s postapocalyptic, yet it’s very much like a family photo album.” She has a basket of local zines such as The Nightly Noodle Monthly and the pre-Chicago-based-but-nowlocal Proof I Exist. The shop also carries pieces from Jennifer Angel. Angel met Duverneay at a crafts fair and was

invited to bring her work to the shop. She said she creates “happy bones” figures and shadow boxes that place skeletons in everyday situations. “It’s basically Day of the Dead, but in a cheerier attitude,” she said. “I think it was because it was different and humorous at the same time, so I took something that could be potentially really dark and made it funny.” Duverneay said the shop’s do-it-

yourself starter projects and literature, like voodoo dolls and mix tapes, encourage those who aren’t typically creative. “If you are artistic, you see this stuff and you’re like, ‘Oh, I could maybe make that. I’m going to try and make that,’” she said. “Or if you aren’t artistic, but you really can appreciate the darker, funnier, weirder things you can’t find anywhere else.” Duverneay said she selects

handmade merchandise and purposely tries not to appeal to the masses. “You pay a premium for things that are handmade with love,” she said. “It’s not mass-produced in China by a 12-year-old who’s not making a livable wage. Those are the kind of products that I’m trying to avoid. I don’t want to be part of mass consumer culture. I don’t want to be part of disposable people problems.” Cellar Door Gifts and Gallery, at 147 Harvard Drive S.E., opened in September. Daniel Hulsbos Daily Lobo

Queer community gets art space by Andrew Beale abeale@unm.edu A new gallery at UNM focuses on LGBTQ community art. Alma Rosa Silva-Banuelos, the center’s program coordinator, said the gallery is Albuquerque’s only permanent showcase for non-hetero artists. “I think there’s a different appreciation when the LGBTQ community comes out to see art that is created for and by the queer community,� she said. “It reflects the LGBTQ perspective in art, and really it showcases another aspect of our culture that normally you don’t get to see, because we get diluted amongst other artists.� The gallery’s first exhibit, “Gender: Transgression and Identity,� was provided by the Harwood Art Center. It’s located inside the LGBTQ Resource Center. Silva-Banuelos said the gallery showcases LGBTQ artists once a year to coincide with the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. “Since the Harwood had already curated such a fabulous exhibit and not everybody got to see it, we wanted to bring it over to the University campus to create more access and let the student population have access to come and see it on campus,� she said. “Now it sparked the idea for us to

showcase LGBTQ artists and allies monthly.â€? The exhibit’s centerpiece is a large DĂ­a de los Muertos altar in honor of several LGBTQ youth that have committed suicide this year, Silva-Banuelos said. “It’s a pretty powerful altar this year, because when you really see (the) seven youth up on our alter, all of the end dates are 2010,â€? she said. “And we wanted to make sure that those young people that took their lives for being bullied for being gay or being perceived as gay weren’t forgotten.â€? In honor of Transgender Day of Remembrance, Silva-Banuelos said the center will host events today, Friday and Saturday to note transgender people’s struggles. The resource center will debut an exhibit every month, although December and January will feature the same exhibit because of winter break, Silva-Banuelos said. The December exhibit will feature UNM student Debbie Alarcon’s work. “I do a lot of strong women figures. A lot of goddesses,â€? Alarcon

said. “Right now I’m working on Frida Kahlo. But I also do nature. I think every artist is individual in what they’re trying to give and what they’re trying to express as an artist. Now that the center’s open, I think it’s a great opportunity for them to put that out there.� Silva-Banuelos said LGBTQ artists are showcased in galleries around Albuquerque, but they often don’t have exhibits dedicated to them. “I know there are a lot of LGBTQ artists that get mixed in with different installations, and what we’re trying to do is really draw those artists out of those installations to give them a focused location to be able to exhibit their art,� she said. The gallery is currently accepting submissions from artists, whether LGBTQ-identified or not, and Silva-Banuelos said they expect to have a flourishing gallery once submissions roll in. “I think once we really get this call out, we’re going to be booked through the next couple years — 2011, 2012 and beyond,� she said.

ARTIST’S by Andrew Beale abeale@unm.edu Playing the euphonium can take you places. Taylor Mitchell’s skill has taken him from coast to coast. He played Bluecoats Drum, Bugle Corps and Spirit Drum, marching-band organizations that travel the country performing music. Daily Lobo: When did you start playing the euphonium? Taylor Mitchell: I started when I was in third grade. It was a baritone, so a euphonium with three buttons instead of four. It was a hand-medown from my grandma. The serial number dates it at about 1950. DL: People would say large, bass instruments like the euphonium are less expressive. TM: I completely disagree with that. The euphonium really doesn’t get the recognition it deserves in being a virtuosic instrument. It’s absolutely expressive. It’s kind of in the mid-range between the tuba and the trombone, so its sound is very smooth, sweet. “Euphonium� in Latin actually means “good sound.� DL: Do you get to play a lot of solos, then? TM: In drum and bugle core, yes, there are solos. I personally haven’t played any solos in drum corps. I’ve played solos here at the University with the wind symphony. I’ve been the principal in the wind symphony since 2008. So I’ve gotten to play

some solos here and there throughout the pieces. Every music major here is (also) required to play a solo every semester for a jury, for all the brass staff. It’s essentially your final for playing your instrument. DL: So you’ve traveled the country playing in marching bands. Where’s your favorite place you’ve traveled to? TM: Upper-state New York, definitely. Mostly because the weather up there is perfect. When you’re with a drum corps, you will rehearse and perform from 12-14 hours a day — 12-14 hour days all summer long, to places like Texas, the South. “The Swamp Tour,� we call it. It’s just gross. I mean, it’s awful. But upperstate New York was very temperate. DL: So what do you want to do with this, with your euphonium

by Ioan Belovarski ibelovar@unm.edu

playing? What do you hope to do as a career after you graduate? TM: I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s in music education with an instrumental focus. My plan is to be a band director some place. I love teaching. I love the look that people get on their faces when they get something and they understand it. I’m helping out West Mesa High School and Manzano High School right now, just sectionals and stuff. I plan on going out of state for my master’s in euphonium performance. Make some connections, get really good at my instrument. And after that, I mean, having a master’s definitely gets you a pay boost as a teacher, or I may go for my doctorate. I’m not sure. But for right now, teaching is the plan. I love it.

Some professors change the way students see the world. For many at UNM, that professor may be Stephen Alley. As the psychology department’s only full-time lecturer, Alley forms meaningful student-teacher relationships at the University, student Carolina Ortega said. She said Alley encourages students to contact him often. “He goes above and beyond what is needed to teach,� she said. “He takes the time to interact and get to know his students on a more personal level.� And with Alley’s class load, that is not an easy task. On any given week, Alley works with nearly 500 students. A small group often clusters by his east-wing office at Logan Hall, waiting to chat about class concerns. To demonstrate his open-door policy, Alley often humorously places a welcome mat outside his office, said Jane Ellen Smith, the psychology department chair. “That is my favorite,� she said. “Not only is he a good instructor, knowledge-wise, but also he’s passionate about what he does. He’s very welcoming, (and) he’s such a unique person.� Faculty members share these sentiments, said Ronald Yeo, the former chair who hired Alley as a full-time lecturer four years ago. “Having a lecturer in the department has been very beneficial,

particularly because it’s Steve,� he said. “(He) is perhaps the most naturally gifted teacher I’ve ever run across.� Still, Alley has his detractors. One of Alley’s former students, Corinne Lykins, said the professor is approachable and concerned with his students, but his teaching style is overrated. “He wasn’t the worst professor I’ve ever had, but I don’t think he really deserves a lot of the praise he’s been getting,� she said. “If you love Carl Rogers and the softer side of psychology, which some people do, then he’s your kind of professor.� Yet for a lot of students, Alley is their kind of professor. This past year, Alley’s commendations include Best Teacher at UNM (by UNM Student’s Choice 2009), and he was the spring 2010 psychology department graduation speaker. The latter was a task Alley said challenged him. He tailored the speech to his audience, just like his lectures. Doing so required him to e-mail hundreds of soon-to-be graduates and find out what they believed is important to their undergraduate success. Alley said he plans to provide students with an enriching educational experience. “I love applying the knowledge that other people are generating,� he said. “I love teaching, and look forward to teaching. (In the next five years), I would like to be doing exactly what I’m doing now, and I’d like to be doing it even better.�
