Governor lifts state’s indoor mask mandate By Zara Roy

@zarazzledazzle Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced on Thursday, Feb. 17, that the statewide indoor mask mandate would be lifted effective immediately. During the press briefing at the New Mexico state Capitol where it was announced, Lujan Grisham explained that this decision was due to a projection of lower hospitalization rates despite continued high case counts. There has already been a 37% decrease in hospitalizations, which has freed up hospital resources, according to a Feb. 17 press release from the Governor’s office. “Given the continued drop in hospitalizations and the lessening of the burden on our hospitals, it’s time to end the mask mandate. With vaccines, boosters and effective treatment options widely available, we have the tools we need to protect ourselves and keep our fellow New Mexicans safe,” read a statement from Lujan Grisham in the press release. Masks will still be required in health care facilities such as hospitals, assisted living centers and hospice facilities, as well as in correctional facilities, accord-

ing to the updated public health order. K-12 schools’ mask regulations are now at the discretion of the school’s governing body. Privately owned businesses are also allowed to set their own mask requirements. New Mexico was one of the last states to end indoor mask mandates. Only four states are still universally mandating masks indoors: Washington, Oregon, Illinois and Hawaii.

UNM mask mandate pending review The University of New Mexico will maintain its mask mandate until further notice as of time of publication. The school’s mandate is currently under administrative review with no set timeline regarding when a decision will be made as to whether masks will continue to be required, according to UNM spokesperson Cinnamon Blair. “(The administrators) still have to review the public health order and look at the campus conditions that we have, which you can find on the dashboard,” Blair said. Currently, nearly half of the UNM student population has been confirmed to have received their booster shot, according to

the UNM COVID Dashboard. There has been a recent steady decrease in confirmed cases on campus, with the 7-day rolling average dropping from an all-time high of 34.429 cases on Jan. 22 to 3.714 cases on Feb. 19. The University will still be offering free mask options for students as the decision on the school’s mask mandate remains pending. The Associated Students of UNM are still working alongside the Lobo Prevention Pack to hand out masks, and they will continue to provide them to students at various locations on campus, according to ASUNM President Gregory Romero. “I personally appreciate the fact that they’re taking their time with this decision considering UNM is made up of so many different groups of people who obviously want different things and have different needs,” Romero said. Romero emphasized his trust in the University administration to make a shrewd decision on the mask mandate that will have the largest positive impact on students, staff and faculty. “I know that somebody will probably be upset either way but UNM, I think, made the correct decision when they first mandated the vaccine. I think they made the correct decision when they

first implemented masks again, and so I trust our administration to make the right choice here for the health and safety of students here at UNM,” Romero said.

African American UNM to begin grad union Student Services contract negotiations after PELRB petition approval hosts final 2022 Black By Madeline Pukite @maddogpukite Contract negotiations between the United Graduate Workers of the University of New Mexico and the University are in sight as the two jointly filed a petition, which specifies bargaining unit modifications, with the New Mexico Public Employee Labor Relations Board on Monday, Feb. 14. The petition, which clarifies that only graduate students with assistantships are in the bargaining unit, is likely to be approved, after which contract negotiations will begin immediately. If PELRB accepts the petition,

UNM will drop their appeal dating back to November on the board’s decision that gave grad workers the right to unionize, according to UNM spokesperson Cinnamon Blair. Julie Hayes, a member of UGW’s bargaining committee, said the University waiting until the petition is approved to rescind their initial appeal is mostly based in formality and that negotiations are a near certainty. “It's just a procedural thing at this point … They are legally bound to bargain with us and this is the process of them complying with the law,” Hayes said. The University preparing to begin the bargaining process came as a happy surprise to many union mem-

bers. Hayes said members were preparing for a long fight ahead as they thought UNM would continue to appeal the decision. “I think this was a quick, decisive turn in the right direction,” Hayes said. Union members showed up to UNM’s Board of Regents meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 15 to voice their support for the Union in the public comment section. Third-year Ph.D. candidate Richard Maska, present on behalf of the grad worker union, said UNM withdrawing their appeal is the right decision. “I think both UGW and UNM admin should be delighted to be at the

History Month events By Megan Gleason @fabflutist2716

The University of New Mexico’s African American Student Services center has been hosting events throughout Black History Month and is wrapping up this week with “Our Black is Beautiful” on Thursday, Feb. 24 and “Black Grad Mixer” on Friday, Feb. 25. “Our Black is Beautiful” will be a discussion held at AASS led by UNM associate professor of law Sonia Gipson Rankin. She said the event will largely focus on the

term “ubuntu,” which has African linguistic roots based on the premise that “I am because we are” and the connection “from person to person.” “I want us to use this year, the year of 2022, within the Black community to focus on this principle that we are all in this together, that we are all connected to one another,” Gipson Rankin said. Society is at a complex point in time that’s created unclear expectations for college students and graduates in a variety of factors, including concerns related to

forefront of this monumental moment … My main takeaway is just seize this moment because it's not very often you get to be decidedly on the right side of history.” Theodros Woldeyohannes, a Ph.D. candidate in the department of geology and environmental science, said graduate workers are excited to start the bargaining process and hope what they have accomplished leaves a larger im-

pact, providing inspiration for other workers considering unionizing. “I just hope the bargaining process goes pretty smoothly, and we can get a contract set up and then really just start paying people (a) living wage, really increasing our benefits,” Woldeyohannes said. “And more broadly, I just hope … it inspires people and workers in general to just keep collectivizing and really coming together and using their power.”

Before getting to the bargaining table, Hayes said the Union encourages all current members to fill out their bargaining survey. The survey is used to gather union members’ opinions on what they want to see in the first contract with UNM. “We want to make sure that every single member takes their bargaining survey so that we have a really good representation of what they're looking for, and what their

needs are that they want represented,” Hayes said. In the meantime, the Union continues to recruit new members, according to Hayes. “It just shows that when we come together, we actually do have a lot of power, and we're really critical and important to the functioning of the University,” Woldeyohannes said. “So, if we want something as a student body, … through our col-

lective power, we can really make things happen.”

havior and more when around different groups of people. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that nearly half of all Black U.S. graduates “say they feel the need to change how they talk when around people of other races.” “It’s always a beautiful thing to offer people an opportunity of kind of letting down their shield and being their authentic self,” Gourdin said. College students are in various stages of development and deserve safe spaces, according to Gourdin. “However long you stay at the University, it’s time that you’re spending developing your sense of self, developing the patterns that you’re going to take with you once you leave, so the more that we can culturally inform that process, the better,” Gourdin said.

of reestablishing our commitment to ourselves as a community but (also to) changing the world. If someone else benefits from the fact that the world is a place that’s less anti-Black, that’s great. Solving anti-Blackness actually should benefit everyone,” Gourdin said. Gipson Rankin said Black History Month is a “set-aside time to do some inner reflection and encouragement within the Black community” and look at the community’s “history of forward progress of endurance and joy in spite of anything from the outside.” Gipson Rankin reiterated two main principles she learned in her undergraduate education at Morgan State University, a historically Black university in Maryland: you’re able to do anything if you set your mind to it and “when you have arrived where you wanted to get to, you are required to give back.” “What (Black History Month) means to me is that we take some time to focus on our history of excellence, to focus on our history of progress and to remind ourselves that we have come a mighty long way, and everything we need, we already have to be successful at the next stage,” Gipson Rankin said. “And so that’s what it means to me is to really celebrate and remind people, regardless of where they

are in their life journey, that you can do anything you set your mind to and it requires us taking care of each other to do it.” This month allows Black students opportunities for mentorship, networking and more, according to Gipson Rankin. Gourdin said this month is an excellent time for the University to “found a sense of affirmed identity.” “I think that, in general, students of all different backgrounds come to higher education with wounds from the education experiences before coming to college. Black students, in particular, I think can be ostracized and over-criticized in a way of kind of policing their behaviors,” Gourdin said. The first celebration of Negro History Week, which would later morph into Black History Month, was initiated in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson. Gipson Rankin said since then, there are still “continued pressures in the K-12 education system to eradicate” information on Black history. “Here we are almost 100 years later and there is still a concerted effort to ensure that the Black story is not shared in our schools and in our education spaces,” Gipson Rankin said. Gourdin said many Black students are coming to UNM with

large gaps in knowledge about their communities and history. “Black History Month is an opportunity for us as a community and for the larger communities outside of the Black community to kind of support the work of rectifying Black and African American histories, to tell the stories that we’re missing out on, to highlight the figures that have gone unsung but then also humanizing the characters that we do know,” Gourdin said. Gipson Rankin brought up the concept of Sankofa, which she described as “it is not wrong to go back and fetch that which is at risk of being forgotten.” She said the Black community “can only move forward as a people as we bring the very best of our story along with us.” “The way that the Black journey is portrayed in the media can make one think that there’s no hope, and I firmly disagree with that. I see nothing but opportunity and excellence,” Gipson Rankin said.

degrees, economics, democracy and more, according to Gipson Rankin. In turn, she said this has led to people going against each other. “It has, unfortunately, led many people to turn on each other as opposed to uplifting each other, and so what I’m hoping that this presentation will do for “Our Black is Beautiful” is just to give people a time to be inspired and encouraged to take care of (others) who might be in more vulnerable emotional spaces,” Gipson Rankin said. AASS senior student success specialist J. Gourdin is leading the grad mixer, which will take place at 50/50 Coffee House & Pub, a Black-owned business. Although it is open to the University, Gourdin said, the mixer was designed to provide a space and chance for Black students to come together and feel safe to be themselves. “It’s basically just a mixer, just an opportunity for like-minded folk to engage and interact but more importantly, it’s an opportunity for us to kind of found a sense of belonging for Black graduate students. For some people, they are one of the only in their program or one of the few,” Gourdin said. Gourdin brought up codeswitching, or the act of changing personal factors like speech, be-

LETTER

Climate change must be addressed Climate change is one of the most pressing issues that the world faces today. Since the industrial revolution, the levels of carbon dioxide have been increasing at an alarming rate. Those high levels of CO2 have been affecting the global climate and as such, the temperature has been steadily rising. Most of the world's hottest years have occurred in the last 10 to 15 years. Many facts show that climate change is a real problem that should be addressed. As a result of the ever-changing climate, the world is slowly losing its ice sheets.

The ice sheets in Greenland lost about 197 gigatons of ice in 2019. From 1979 to 2006, (there) had been a decline in the mass of those ice sheets. The glaciers have also been melting before our eyes as the temperature has increased over the years. These glaciers are home to polar bears, penguins, seals, fish, krill and birds, and they live on or under the ice. Their homes, however, are being threatened by the melting of these glaciers due to climate change. The ocean levels have also been rising due to the glaciers melting.

Areas on the coastline are the ones that are most affected by this. When there are storms, the coastline will be the most affected as they will be more intense and powerful. That leads to more damage. The more that we ignore climate change, the more some of the effects will take effect sooner. The temperatures will continue to rise, and this is due to fossil fuels, so cutting back on our usage of those could have a long-lasting effect on the climate. Frost-free seasons will start to become the norm and that can have a bad effect on plants and animals as

well as agriculture and other ecosystems. We could be in for more droughts and heatwaves if the climate issue goes unaddressed. The future regarding climate change now is grim as no one is actively trying to change or reduce the causes of climate change. Greenhouse gases are still being released at a high rate. While there is the Paris Climate Accord, the USA leaving set back the accord by a bit. However, even the Paris Accord is not doing enough to stop the most dramatic effects of climate change. Most critics say that the accord is not enough to save the earth from some of the worst-case scenarios involving climate change.

The only way to prevent those worst-case scenarios would be to be proactive concerning the climate. We need to migrate our carbon footprint, especially those of the wealthy as they have been said to have a carbon footprint that is at least 175 times bigger than that of a low-income family. Implementing a carbon tax on various industries could force them to look toward more clean energy to use. These are just some of the things that can be done to help ease the burden of climate change and give us a fighting chance in the future. Tino Muneri is a student in the school of engineering

@JScott050901 Writer and director Joachim Trier’s “The Worst Person in the World” finally received a wide-release in the United States on Feb. 4 after dazzling movie fans and critics alike at its premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. After having the chance to watch the film for myself, it’s no surprise why Trier’s slick, stylish and subversive film has won over the hearts and minds of so many viewers. The opening montage thrusts the audience into the chaos and confusion that is confronting our main character, Julie, and many other 20-somethings all around the world. Initially, Julie is studying to become a surgeon. She pivots to psychology after realizing that surgery is too precise, but she quickly loses interest in that and decides to become a photographer. In the midst of all this, we catch some brief glimpses into Julie’s love life, whether it’s breaking up with a long-term boyfriend or hooking up with a photography client. Renate Reinsve, who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes for

her performance, makes the character of Julie feel distinctly real and immediately human. Her naivete about the world around her combined with the fear of getting old and becoming an adult make Julie instantly relatable. We seem to find some stability, though, once Julie meets Askel, a grounded and mature character played by Anders Danielsen Lie. Julie and Aksel have a significant age gap (15 years), but, unlike another film released in 2021 with a notable age gap between its main characters, this gap serves a narrative purpose. Askel has a steady job and wants to start a family whereas Julie, who is working part-time at a bookstore to supplement her photography business, still doesn’t quite know who she is and certainly doesn’t want to have kids anytime soon. Of course, the film demonstrates this divide in other ways. Following their initial meeting, we jump forward in time to Julie and Aksel spending a weekend at Askel’s parents house. Julie feels alone and out of place in an environment filled with older adults whose lives seem entirely put together. Trier subtly and elegantly builds a quiet tension within this first chapter (the film is told in 12

chapters, a prologue and epilogue) that sticks with you for every subsequent interaction between Julie and Aksel. But this wouldn’t be a romantic comedy without a love triangle, and Julie’s restless nature eventually leads to her meeting Herbert Nordrum’s charming and stoic Eivind. At the time of their meeting — at a party that Julie has crashed

— both Julie and Eivind are in a relationship, and neither one wants to cheat. So, the two engage in alcohol-soaked conversation and strange and intimate acts of affection, like smelling each other’s armpits or watching one another go to the bathroom. You can’t help but laugh and secretly hope that these two might share a kiss. It’s the moments like these that

hit on what makes “Worst Person” so successful. Trier’s ability to take the framework of a tired genre and a series of character archetypes and imbue these things with stylish visuals and a “La La Land”-esque musicality makes the film a delightful watch. There’s also Trier’s ability to incorporate a large amount of cynicism and meta-commentary on things like cancel culture, neoliberalism and the film industry that never feels as if it’s advocating for problematic behavior, but simply asks the viewer to think critically about art and artistic value. Ultimately, “The Worst Person in the World” eloquently demonstrates how every component of a film works in tandem to create a wholly unique experience, even when working within a given framework. The cinematography, the score and the Oscar-nominated screenplay all coalesce and combine into one conglomerate cohort under Trier’s singular creative vision, and what a vision it is.

when I was here as a student, advised and mentored … I can’t actually believe you can get paid to do this,” Mendoza said First-generation college students are at a higher risk of dropping out of college due to a lack of cultural capital, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Cultural capital refers to an understanding of university expectations and requirements provided as generational knowledge. First-gen students from lower-income families face an even bigger challenge. A study from the Pell Institute found that “lowincome, first-generation students were nearly four times more likely … to leave higher education after the first year” when compared to students without these risk factors. In an attempt to keep students

from dropping out, Aim to Achieve is an initiative where UNM will pay for the final semester of first-time freshmen who graduate in eight regular semesters. Aim to Achieve allows for potential savings of nearly $40,000 for out-of-state students, according to its website. It also says the potentially lessened burden of tuition is meant to serve as motivation to graduate on time and reduce debt for students, contending two issues prevalent for first-generation students. The University also provides many resources, including free tutoring, mentoring and career-related guidance, through Student Support Services-TRIO, a federally-funded program aiming to increase UNM’s retention and graduation rates. As the majority of students serviced through SSS-TRIO are

first-generation, these provisions are targeted to alleviate stressors unique to first-generation students, according to SSS-TRIO’s website. The website says the process begins with assistance applying for enrollment and financial aid and ends with advocacy through the transitional period between graduation and career entry. “College has been difficult and navigating it as a first-generation college student hasn’t been easy at all, but I’ve made it this far with the University,” Franco said. “I’m only halfway through it but I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Natalie Jude is the culture editor at the Daily Lobo.

UNM Art Museum opens ornate exhibition ‘Mysterious Inner Worlds’ By Natalie Jude @natalaroni

In her first solo exhibition in New Mexico, Anila Quayyum Agha started showing “Mysterious Inner Worlds” on Friday, Feb, 18 at the University of New Mexico Art Museum. With a unique combination of Islamic architecture and personal concepts about sacred spaces’ patterns, the exhibit has four sculptures that are all activated by light. The installation is comprised of works of paper, beads, metal and light, with Agha’s designs being guided by traditional Pakistani artistry and made to convey feelings associated with her experiences with religion, gender, culture and danger, according to the UNMAM gallery guide. Many of the pieces use the sewing techniques taught by her mother as well as beads and papers sourced from Pakistan, according to the UNMAM gallery

guide. The UNMAM website says Agha draws from her experiences as a woman and immigrant; she moved to the U.S. from Pakistan in 2001. “Agha’s approach to her two-dimensional work comes from her childhood in Pakistan as well as her training as an artist. Agha’s mother taught her to sew when she was five years old,” the gallery guide reads. Agha’s work ranges from “monumental installations to intricate embroidered drawings,” according to the UNMAM website. The website says she studies textile design and “treats drawings like textiles by embroidering paper with thread and beads sourced from her native Pakistan.” “Agha’s work engages more broadly with the dynamic and contradictory relationships among immigrant experiences as well as the intersectionality of gender, religion, labor and social codes,” the UNMAM website reads. The largest body of work, “In-

tersections,” is an award-winning laser-cut steel cage of light. It casts intricate shadows across the largest room in the gallery, creating an interactive opening piece and priming viewers for a series of 10 more pieces. Other works are meant to evoke sentiments of inherent belonging despite socio-economic exclusion, according to the UNMAM gallery guide. “Mysterious Inner Worlds (Gold)” represents the suppressed, often unrecognized resilience of women in Pakistani society. “While the materials of her pieces often appear fragile, Agha describes them as ‘resilient, hardy, even stubborn,’ serving as a symbol for women in repressive societies,” the gallery guide reads. The exhibit will be showing at UNMAM until July 2. Natalie Jude is the culture editor at the Daily Lobo. She can be reached at culture@dailylobo.com and on Twitter @natalaroni

Local tattoo artists navigate effects of COVID-19 By Madeline Pukite & Mackenzie Schwartz @maddogpukite @mackenzid3 While the COVID-19 pandemic ramped up factors of cleanliness around the nation, many tattoo shops in Albuquerque were already adhering to these standards. Now, however, artists are navigating woes in their own safety factors, increased supply chain prices and a changed social atmosphere in their shops. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, artists had to be extremely careful regarding sterilization, according to All Is One Tattoo artist Bianca Sanchez, so the increased sanitation wasn’t anything new to her. “It's not too different, just because everything's already pretty clean … We have to sanitize (tools) out of sight and everything like that so, really, the only difference is masks,” Sanchez said. For Statut St. Louis, a tattoo artist at Cheeky Monkey Tattoo, the COVID-19 pandemic made him realize how unsanitary tattooing without a mask actually is. “Now, even if we're not required to wear masks, if I'm tattooing, I'm wearing one because you're right on top of a person,” St. Louis said. “And the cleanliness factor of not breath-

ing on their open wound has been a real insight for me through this.” Elvis Shirley, a local tattoo artist at Stay Gold Tattoos, said the nature of tattooing forces a close proximity between the artist and the client, which is nerve-wracking when you don't know how cautious the client is being. “It's been difficult because you're always afraid that you might contract (COVID-19) because you're dealing with so many people and it's hard to keep track of how many

of those people were doing things,” Shirley said. St. Louis said he is dealing with frustrations from customers because of price increases at his shop, which has added another layer of difficulty to his work. He said there has been an increased cost of supplies, such as paper towels and gloves, due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues. “As artists, our supplies is tripled in cost in a lot of places. And so that's had to kind of drive up

our minimum setup costs and stuff,” St. Louis said. Oshun Rappa, who first got into tattooing during the pandemic and works at Ace Tattoo, sees the COVID-19 pandemic as somewhat of a blessing in disguise. Being forced to not work and receiving unemployment gave her the opportunity to shift careers out of the service industry. “It gave me a lot of time to focus on (art), because I literally wasn't able to work. And before now, I was

always balancing working in the restaurant industry with apprenticing, or before that I was in college,” Rappa said. There has also been a change in the atmosphere of his shop, mainly due to fewer people in the parlor at any given time, according to Shirley. “It's definitely changed a lot of the way we interact with each other and even with clients. You know, before (the pandemic), a tattoo shop was lively,” Shirley said. Some people have just been excited to get back into tattoo shops for therapeutic relief and to reconnect with people after living in a pandemic for so long, according to St. Louis. “(To) get to talk to more people and hear their experiences and share our different experiences with COVID and shutdowns and different losses and gains that we all had through, it has been definitely therapeutic for a lot of our clients and for us too,” St. Louis said.

Lobos women’s basketball stomps Boise State on Senior Night

John Scott / Daily Lobo / @JScott050901

The 2021-22 UNM women’s basketball team pose for a photo while they celebrate Senior Night and their win against Boise State on Saturday, Feb. 19 at The Pit.

(TOP) Lobos forward Shaiquel McGruder (#13) goes up for a ball. (BOTTOM) Lobos forward Antonia Anderson (#32) looks for passing options.

By John Scott @JScott050901 The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team celebrated a big win against the Boise State Broncos on Saturday, Feb. 19, defeating them 89-62. The win comes after a previous win at home against Utah State on Wednesday, Feb. 16 and puts

the Lobos at 13-3 on the season. The larger focus on the court, though, was on seniors LaTascya and Latora Duff and Shaiquel McGruder and “super seniors” Jaedyn De La Cerda and Antonia Anderson as the team celebrated their Senior Night. The game was De La Cerda and Anderson’s last game at The Pit. The COVID-19 pandemic created a unique situation for the Duff twins

and McGruder, though, as they will be returning to play for UNM next season. De La Cerda seemed to channel her emotions into her playing, putting up 20 points and two steals for the game. Anderson had an easier time on the defensive side of the ball, picking up five rebounds and two steals. Boise State’s Dominique Leonidas scored the most baskets for the Mus-

tangs, getting her team a total of 18 points. Abby Muse put up a solid 11 rebounds for Boise’s defense, but the team just couldn’t find their rhythm in the first or second half. The Lobos currently sit at second in the Mountain West conference, only behind the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. To be tied for the top spot, the Lobos would need to win both their upcoming away

PINK

games against California State University, Fresno on Wednesday, Feb. 23 and San José State University on Friday, Feb. 25, while UNLV would need to lose at least two of their last three matches.
