Coach Davie files to appeal 30-day suspension

By Robert Maler @Robert_Maler

The University of New Mexico announced last week that it would be suspending its head football coach, Bob Davie, for a period of 30 days — but Davie has quickly countered by filing an appeal.

University of New Mexico Interim President Chaouki Abdallah released a statement on Thursday, detailing the finding and recommendations of some recent investigations — as well as news of the suspension and additional measures that were outlined.

The following day, Davie released a statement saying he was appealing the decision. As the head coach pointed out, there was no specific reason given for his suspension.

“None of these three investigations determined that I had violated any University policy,” he said in the statement. “I have appealed the suspension imposed

by Interim President Abdallah to the Board of Regents.”

Independent journalist Daniel Lidbit of NM Fishbowl broke the news last fall that Davie and the athletic program were the target of an investigation and that UNM had retained former federal Judge Bruce Black to look into some specific allegations.

Q&A with Vista Kicks

UNM ranked best law school for Hispanics

By Colton Newman @Coltonperson

If you attended last year’s Fiestas at Johnson Field, you probably were drawn into the wild party that the Northern California band known as Vista Kicks threw. Just one year later, they are planning on making yet another stop by the 505 on their Booty Shakers Ball Tour. They took some time to give the Daily Lobo a quick email interview — answers are by the band members Sam Plecker and Nolan LeVine, written as joint statements.

Q: It’s been close to a year since you have played at the UNM Fiestas. Between then and now, you’ve released your first full-fledged album and are set for a long tour.

What other news should your fans be filled in on?

A: We love Albuquerque. Stoked to be back. Our first full-length has been received nicely. Our shows are getting bigger every time we go out on tour...We can’t complain. We got off the road in December 2017 and went straight into the studio after the new year and recorded another record. Expect it this summer.

Q: I noticed that your Albuquerque show openers included Treehouse Basement and Eugene, both also played at the 2017 UNM Fiestas. Was this a friendship that

developed at Fiestas? If not how did you get in touch?

A: We didn’t get a chance to talk to them all that much, but we enjoyed their sets. When we figured out we were coming back to Albuquerque, we thought, “Those guys definitely have to come play the show with us.”

Q: Between “Chasing Waves” and “Booty Shakers Ball,” what kind of audible change can listeners expect from the band’s sound?

A: “Chasing Waves,” in a completely awesome way, is a little more adolescent. We recorded it before going on tour in our

hometown of Roseville, California, up by Sacramento...“BSB” has a maturity in song writing and structure. A lot more raw, honest and organic...with pulp.

Q: What kind of goals did you set out to accomplish with your new album, “Booty Shakers Ball”?

A: We wanted to make a feelgood album that showed our fans and other musicians that you can make a record on the cheap side, recorded by yourselves. We didn’t go spend all this money at a fancy studio — Sam tracked the record at

The University of New Mexico’s School of Law has been ranked the nation’s best school for Hispanics in the preLaw magazine. “(The) University of New Mexico ranks first, thanks to (the) mix of Hispanic students and faculty, plus strong student services,” according to the magazine.

The magazine’s study was based on three variables — student enrollment, faculty and student services — to identify the best schools for Asians, Hispanics and African-Americans.

Student services includes bar exam prep programs, student support groups, mentoring programs, employment workshops and minority affairs offices. Half of the total score in determining the ranking was allotted to the percentage of minority students in a school of law. The number of minority faculty and the quality of student services both applied to the remaining half of the total, 25 percent each.

The magazine used data from the American Bar Association to determine the number of students

and faculty, and it collected data from the schools themselves to determine student services.

Sergio Pareja, the co-dean of the School of Law, said this year they have been very fortunate to have a string of good news so far from — what he referred to as — a “wonderful” bar passing rate, to having one of the largest classes in years of entering law students and a strong student body.

“When you start getting some recognition, which we have got this year, it does happen that you have some degree of pressure and responsibility also lying underneath your happiness,” Pareja, who identifies as Hispanic himself, said.

Robert Gandara, a second year Hispanic UNM law student, said the UNM School of Law offers support geared toward minorities in general, and Hispanics in particular, that help transform students into “confident, agile and active attorneys of the future.”

The law firm, Hogan Marren Babbo & Rose, said Black identified a couple of matters surrounding the football program that required further investigation, which were included as part of its scope in the follow-up probe.

The final report released by Hogan Marren Babbo & Rose indicated that the firm was unable to conclude that football coaches or staff members interfered with criminal investigations surrounding players on the team, nor was it able to substantiate claims of physical abuse to the players.

Similarly, the UNM Office of Equal Opportunity released its findings and stated there was a lack of evidence to support multiple al-

legations. However, the report did cite “environmental concerns” and “failure to follow civil rights reporting protocol and policy” and made multiple recommendations in its investigative summary.

The absence of any clearly defined proof of wrongdoing was apparently all the cause Davie needed to set his appeal into motion.

Lidbit recently released on nmfishbowl.com the nine-point petition for appeal that Michael K. Kennedy of Gallagher & Kennedy submitted on Davie’s behalf.

Among the nine points listed in the appeal was the assertion that no violation of University policy, NCAA principle or Davie’s employment contract has occurred.

The petition estimated the investigations’ cost to the University of New Mexico to be approximately $100,000 and claimed that the investment of significant time and money resulted in an “undisputed unanimous conclusion” that Davie did not violate University policy.

Additional points outlined in the appeal include: the Interim President did not have the authority to modify, vacate or reverse the findings in the OEO report, Davie was deprived of his right to fair or due process and a final claim that the sanction is excessive.

Davie was present for the football team’s first spring practice on Friday. He did not answer questions relating to the suspension or

his decision to appeal it.

However, the head coach did mention in his statement that he cooperated fully regarding the investigations. And although some of the allegations were disturbing, Davie seemed vindicated by the verbiage in the final report.

“I fully cooperated in every respect and met multiple times with the investigators but was never asked to meet with or prove information to Hogan,” Davie said in a statement. “In fact, the Hogan Report reads, ‘Given the lack of specific evidence that he or his staff engaged in criminal obstruction or retaliation with respect to these three incidences, we also determined that

it was not necessary to interview Coach Davie or conduct a further review of additional police, OEO and medical records.’”

There was no mention of the effective date of when the 30day unpaid suspension was set to begin or when the appeal will be heard. But for now, it appears Davie will be able to continue engaging in day-to-day activities.

ize and whose influence we draw from: James Brown, Black Sabbath, Otis Redding, Neil Young, Chance the Rapper, Bahamas and Sam Cohen to name a few.

Q: If there was a specific incident or moment that inspired a song, what was the song and what was the moment?

A: “Giuliana” was a song we were really wrestling with lyrically during the writing process. We had this really rad groove and melody and the name of Derek’s soon to be niece, Giuliana, but we were struggling with everything else. Luckily

Giuliana popped out before we had to track it — Derek finished the lyrics that night. The rest was a breeze.

Q: Are there any interesting tour stories that you can share?

A: We play a game called What Are the Odds while we’re on the road, and it tends to be the cause of many good stories. If you’ve ever played, you know what I mean.

Q: If the band was to have any featured female artist, alive or dead, featured on a song, who would that artist be?

A: One hundred percent Amy Winehouse...or Joni Mitchell...or

Etta James.

Q: What is each of the band member’s favorite song of their new album?

A: It changes every time we listen to the record. It just depends where you’re at mentally, but right now our favorites are: Sam — “Work For Me” Derek — “Love and Paranoia” Nolan — “Please Don’t Make It Harder” Trevor — “Giuliana” Q: Lastly, what can fans expect from Vista Kicks’ newest tour?

A: Fans can expect to have the

time of their lives, shaking their booties like they’ve never shook their booties before — and that’s a Vista Kicks guarantee.

Vista Kicks will be performing with Treehouse Basement and Eugene on Feb. 17 at the Moonlight Lounge. The show is a 21 and over event and tickets are $8.

mention the things that we have recently added (was) with the help of a huge grant of $2.65 million that we have received from W. K. Kellogg Foundation.

Pareja said he has a long list of new services, because the school has used that fund for variety of things including: • Hiring James Simermeyer, an assistant director of diversity

and public interest • Creation of a child and family justice scholarship • A Korean fellowship • Admissions travels ambassador program Pareja said the child and family justice scholarship is tailored toward students who demonstrate that they have ambitions to serve underserved and underrepresented

populations after graduation.

He said the Korean fellowship is a two-year, post graduation program, and the ambassador program is designed to have current students reach underserved minority populations in order to increase representation.

Her talk, “Real Hope, Real Transformation, Real Victory,” at the Student Union Building Luminaria room Thursday afternoon was part of the Real Sex Week, a week of events with topics ranging from birth control to human trafficking to feminism.

Pro-life organization Students for Life began hosting the Real Sex Week in 2016.

John Valdiviez, the organization’s vice president, said the idea

behind the Real Sex Week was to counter the annual Sex Week, which he said has inappropriate messages about abortion. He said the Real Sex Week is also “more serious” than Sex Week and offers information that is more important for students.

Students for Life President Emily McGowan said the Real Sex Week aims to provide students with alternatives to the information provided during Sex Week.

Frock was popular at the last Real Sex Week hosted by Students for Life — she not only

serves as a local resource, but she also has an important message, McGowan said.

During her talk, Frock discussed the impact and acceptance of sexual assault, choices sexual assault survivors can make and how to respond to someone speaking out about sexual assault.

Throughout the presentation, she asked the audience questions and later opened the floor for a Q&A. When it comes to healing after sexual assault, Frock said it is also important to understand the mental and physical components

that come with experiencing sexual assault.

When humans sense danger, they have three options: fight, flight or freeze, she said. However, it is easy for someone who experienced sexual assault to start thinking about what they could have done differently.

“When you start that process of ‘should’ve, could've, would’ve’...that’s toxic,” because adding that logic could stunt the healing process with negative thoughts Frock said.

Construction of new interdisciplinary center underway

By James Goodman @DailyLobo The Physics and Astronomy Department plans to have a new home by Fall 2019.

The construction is hard to miss. The new building will be the former site of a city water reservoir adjacent to the Center for the Arts, the Art building, Castetter Hall and Marron Hall. The reservoir has been unused by the Albuquerque Water Utility Authority for years.

Projected to cost upward of $65.7 million, the Physics, Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science Center, or PAIS, is the largest construction project currently underway at the University of New Mexico, according to a project status report from the Planning, Design & Construction Department.

Construction crews are now clearing the debris from the reservoir’s demolition, which began in November of 2017, to make room for the foundation and basement.

The status report said the projected end of construction is July 18, 2019.

When completed, the new building will cover 139,100 square feet, according to the report. Originally planned to extend to Central Avenue, closing part of Redondo Drive, it has since been scaled back.

Even without that expansion, the building will be the largest classroom building on campus and will greatly increase the Physics and Astronomy Department’s research capabilities. It will also be a major upgrade from their current facility,

said Amy Coburn, University architect and director of the Planning, Design & Construction Department.

Built in 1951 and located on North Campus, the current Physics and Astronomy building is beginning to show its age, Coburn said. Issues with ventilation and space increasingly hinder the department’s ability to conduct high-level research.

The main goal of PAIS is to bring advanced research capability to the University. Coburn said the new building will be able to support the academic mission of both the Physics and Astronomy department and the University at large much better.

The research won’t be limited to the department, whose name the building bears. Apart from classrooms and offices, the PAIS Center will become a major center of interdisciplinary studies at the University.

Research is all, to an extent, interdisciplinary; using knowledge from multiple fields in a single study. It is the hope of the University that PAIS will provide a venue for high-level STEM research in multiple fields, concentrating the University’s research efforts into one building, Coburn said.

This construction project comes at the same time as the renovation of Smith Plaza, the construction of the McKinnon Center of Management and the recently completed Farris Engineering Center. Soon, Johnson Center will undergo renovation as well, according to a status report on the PDC website.

These are all made possible by the

General Obligation bonds approved in the last general election, in 2016.

Called Bond Issue C on the ballot, the bonds went toward the development of higher education in the state of New Mexico.

Benefitting both the main and branch campuses, the GO bonds have allowed the University to pursue its recent and continuing program focused on campus renewal, Coburn said.

The bonds will cover about $27,000,000 of the building’s $65,746,710 price tag, according to the status report.

The recent renovation of La Posada was not financed by the bond, as the operating company is a separate entity from the University, said Rachel Stone, community outreach specialist for Institutional Support Services.

In an example of the student body taking an active role in their University’s development Stone said the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico had a hand in the project’s inception and initial planning in 2015 and 2016. ASUNM also helped to assign bond funds to this and several other projects.

For many students, PAIS will be the center of their class schedules — for some graduate students and faculty, it will also be the center of their research efforts, Coburn said.

She said the building presents a substantial upgrade to the University’s research capability.

“It’s a wonderful example of the University investing in high research,” Stone said.

LETTERS Recent DACA cartoon in ABQ Journal lacks journalistic integrity Editor, I was appalled when I saw that the Albuquerque Journal published an offensive cartoon a few days ago, depicting Dreamers as MS-13 thugs assaulting a conservative couple at gunpoint. It was particularly offensive to me, because I fit into the same demographic as the Dreamers: I was

Ordinary people can improve their communities with kindness Editor, It’s hard to turn on the news anymore and not have a feeling of helplessness about the amount of crime in our state and the safety of our citizens.

While it’s nice that Albuquerque is ranked as the nation’s kindest city (Whisper app, 2016), it’s equally disturbing that we are also ranked as one of the highest places for crime in the nation.

The good news is that Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and Interim APD Chief Michael Geier have made combating crime and ensuring our citizen’s safety a top priority. However, the mayor and police chief can’t do it alone, and while as citizens we may have

brought to the USA from Mexico by my parents as a little 7-year-old boy in pursuit of a better future. I grew up and graduated from UNM with my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, became a U.S. citizen prior to graduating from UNM and I have always been a productive member of American society.

Not only does that cartoon reflect a lack of professionalism, but also a poor judge of character from the editors of the Albuquerque Journal. What were they thinking when they decided to publish something

that would offend nearly half of all New Mexicans?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the mission of a journalist to report the hard facts? This cartoon was very distasteful, insensitive and had no journalistic value at all.

Since the editors of the Albuquerque Journal and the cartoonist seem to be oblivious to the facts about DACA recipients, I would like to list them here.

In a 2017 Center for American Progress survey of roughly 3,000 DACA recipients, nine-tenths of

respondents said they had jobs.

Furthermore, their average hourly wage was $17.46 per hour, up from $10.29 before receiving DACA. Thirdly, about 72 percent of respondents attended colleges and universities. After getting DACA, nearly 80 percent of respondents said they got driver's licenses, and half became organ donors.

Most importantly, the Center for American Progress estimated that the U.S. economy would lose about $460 Billion in GDP over the next 10 years without DACA.

Finally, more than 1,800 governors, attorneys general, mayors, state representatives, judges, police chiefs and other leaders signed onto a letter supporting Dreamers and DACA recipients.

If the editors of the Albuquerque Journal fail to provide fair, balanced content to their readers, then they deserve to lose many subscribers in the very near future.

a feeling of helplessness, that shouldn’t stop us from doing the things that we can to help prevent crime and promote safety.

One of the most important things we can do is be kind. Kindness includes taking time each day to be spontaneous, and engaging in random acts that can change the world in some small way. Give someone a smile, a compliment, or offer words of encouragement.

Connect with a friend, or stranger, to offer support. Say “thank you” to a veteran, first responder or elected official. Send a “thanks for a job well done” card to a coworker. Volunteer or donate to the food bank or your favorite nonprofit organization.

The University of New Mexico is doing its part to promote kindness through the BeKind UNM team made up of students, staff, community members and faculty who want to encourage kindness, civility, respect and safety. The

team promotes kindness all year long, but puts the majority of its effort on several free, fun events during Random Acts of Kindness Week each year in February.

This year’s celebration is Feb. 11 through 17 (studentaffairs.unm. edu) and just as in years past, the team is collecting stuffed animals to donate to the Albuquerque Police Department to give to children to provide some comfort in traumatic or stressful situations.

Stuffed animal donations can be made through various locations on campus, during the Lobo women’s and men’s basketball games on Feb. 10 and 14, and during the Kindness Carnival on Feb. 12.

Additionally, every day, the UNM Police Department reaches out to students, staff, and faculty to provide resources and support. UNMPD is proactively doing more community policing on campus, especially in the residence halls, to ensure that

student’s questions regarding safety are answered and making sure that students are aware of the officers’ sincere concern about their safety.

Their community policing provides assistance to ensure that problems can be addressed before they turn into emergencies.

There are several other ways we can use kindness to prevent or respond to crime when it happens including the Neighborhood Watch and Crime Prevention program.

This program provides numerous educational safety resources and suggestions on how to organize neighborhood associations to prevent crime, theft and burglaries.

Get to know your neighbors and work together to promote safety and combat crime: cabq.gov/police.

Also, take time to donate your time and talents. Not sure how to do this? Go to cabq.gov/abq-volunteers for opportunities. We can all be alert, aware, and attentive each day

and “keep our eyes wide open” to observe possible situations to deter crime and encourage safety.

Be proactive. When crime does occur, when possible assist the person in need. Provide comfort and reassurance. I have seen the evidence of Albuquerque being a kind city — we see stories on the news every day of people helping others who have suffered a loss or are in need. Let’s strengthen the community through what we do and how we treat people. Let’s all make a difference and make time for kindness.

“By each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.”

Exhibition connects art and politics

By Megan Holmen @megan_holmen The Albuquerque Museum currently has an exhibition that focuses on politics through the lens of art.

“Art of Politics” is an exhibition put together by Benjamin Masemen in collaboration with Albuquerque Museum Assistant Curator of Art Titus O’Brien. The exhibit displays various forms of art including photographs, drawings and protest signs.

The exhibit contains a variety political views and sentiments, said O’Brien. The art depicts antimilitarism politics, contemporary politics and identity politics. It also includes civil rights politics, international politics and Chicano politics.

“Art has the potential to break down political boundaries. It doesn’t always, but it certainly can break down boundaries or redefine them,” O’Brien said.

Two of the pieces featured in this collection were painted by Raychel Stine, a fine arts professor at The University of New Mexico.

These paintings are on pieces

of cardboard from the 2017 Albuquerque Women’s Rally.

The first sign depicts Lady Liberty’s torch and reads, “Truth.” The second piece reads, “No Ban. No Fear. No Wall. Love All.” These protest signs were made from acrylic paint, glitter and ink marker.

UNM alum Charles Hyder took a photograph in 1986 as a part of a anti-nuclear weapons protest.

That piece can also be found in the gallery.

Engaging in political art allows people to think about politics and social issues in a new and different way, Maseman said.

His vision for this collection was inspired by recent political events, which helped him start to think about the way art can be used to express opinion and allow people to thoughtfully approach uncomfortable topics, he said.

“I’m hoping anyone to who takes the time to engage which this selection of images will be able to leave with some new perspectives on race, violence, protest and the role art can play in political discourse,” Masemen said.

“Art of Politics” included three pieces of art, from two different

artists that are propagandistic as well.

O’Brien and Masemen included these pieces because they see propaganda as a type of art. As an art curator, O’Brien sees how politics impacts art, but also sees how art impacts politics, he said.

“There is an art to politics. Often you have propagandistic images with clear standpoints and with a clear position of critique. A lot of political art is more ambiguous.

But some signs are more propagandistic, and propaganda is often defined as art with a message.

This is a kind of art,” O’Brien said.

“Art of Politics” includes everything from politically neutral or ambiguous art to overtly political pieces that come from clear viewpoints.

Masemen went through a careful selection process for each of the pieces included in exhibit, he said. He conducted research about each of the pieces, the artists and the story behind all of the artwork.

This was important, because as he was able to select a variety of pieces that expressed political, social and personal views, Masemen said.

Colton Newman / Daily Lobo / @cnewman101

A sign used in Albuquerque protests named “Truth,” made by Raychael Stine, hangs in the Albuquerque Art Museum on Feb. 2, 2018.

“Of course people are bombarded with mediated messages, and all media is art,” O’Brien said. “We don’t have any political ideas or views that aren’t impacted by the media and art we are consuming. I think art is continually and perpetually impacting politics. Art can be a cultural symbol and a transformative thing. Art can give something for people to rally around.”

“This installation addresses a lot more than just art and artists.

All the work on display is exciting aesthetically, but it also introduces some important questions about identity, war and American history,” Masemen said.

“Hostiles” excellent modern take on Western

By Timber Mabes @timbermabes Set in the year 1892, “Hostiles” follows the dramatic and treacherous journey taken by a dying Cheyenne war chief’s family and an American Army captain back to the chief’s home in Montana.

“Hostiles” offered an incredibly intense and heart-wrenching story that revolved around hate, race, family, time and Earth’s cruelty.

The movie also centered around the developing relationship between Army captain Joseph J. Blocker and Cheyenne Chief Yellow Hawk who are brought together from groups with a history of hate

for each other and must learn to work together.

Released to theaters on Jan. 26, the film was both written and directed by Scott Cooper and stars Christian Bale and Wes Studi, as well as Rosamund Pike.

Beginning their journey in Fort Berringer, New Mexico — two decades before the state gained its

statehood — President Benjamin Harrison directed Captain Blocker to escort Yellow Hawk and his family back home.

With an R rating, this was an extremely difficult film for me to watch in theaters and is definitely not a film for the faint of heart.

While the Western did feature intense violence and examined

suicide, the film also did an amazing job of exposing true human dignity with sincerity.

Bale did more than surprise me with his superb acting, transforming completely into an 1890s Army captain, a role I have never seen Bale come close to before.

Lapeyrolerie leaves game, Lobos still win

By Matthew Narvaiz @matt_narvaiz Putting the ball in the hoop, for most of the game, was a problem for the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team. But a strong fourth quarter effort, and a key 4-point play from senior guard Laneah Bryan, willed the Lobos to a tough victory over Air Force, 5749, at the Pit on Saturday afternoon.

Bryan, who played 26 minutes off of the bench, sunk a 3-pointer while also getting fouled. She drained it, as well as the free throw after, to put the Lobos (19-7, 7-6 Mountain West) up 50-48 with 5:25 left in the game — a lead they wouldn’t relinquish either.

The Lobos shot just 32.1 percent from the field, while also only making two 3s, both of which came by way of Bryan. But it wasn’t just the Lobos’ missing shots as much as it was Air Force (2-21, 2-10) locking down on defense.

“This is what you get when you play Air Force,” head coach Mike Bradbury said. “Since we played them at Air Force, every game they’ve played since then has been

just like this one. Their record, by no stretch, indicated how dangerous of a team they are. They’re really, really, really good defensively.

“They guard you. They make it tough to get good shots. A lot of the times we didn’t get very good shots, but when we did it seemed like we rushed them a little bit.”

Junior post Jaisa Nunn started the scoring in the game after being fouled, as she sunk both of her subsequent free throws. The Lobos had a 4-1 lead, too, before Air Force went on a 7-0 run to make it 8-4 a little over four minutes into the first quarter. The Lobos’ struggles continued over the frame, and the Falcons jumped out to a 16-10 lead entering the second quarter.

But the Lobos picked things up in the second quarter, scoring the first three points of the frame on a free throw from freshman guard N’Dea Flye and a layup from senior guard Tesha Buck, to bring the game within three points, 16-13.

UNM faced another problem, though. At the end of the first quarter, senior guard Alex Lapeyrolerie appeared to have injured her left knee, as she fell down on a non-contact play on defense and grabbed at it screech-

ing in pain. She was carted up the Pit ramp and into the training room.

Speaking to media after his team’s win, Bradbury said that he had no update on Lapeyrolerie’s injury.

Nunn, who picked up two fouls early in the first quarter, finally came in a little over three minutes into the second quarter and tied things up at 19 points apiece on a layup. Again, Nunn struck a few possessions later to make it 23-21 in favor of the Lobos — their first lead since early in the first quarter. At the end of the frame, both teams entered halftime tied at 25 points apiece.

The Lobos were fortunate to be tied at the half considering they shot a measly 20.8 percent in the first half and went 0-for6 from 3. Air Force wasn’t much better, as they shot 38.5 percent in the first half while also not making a single 3-pointer.

Both Nunn and senior guard Cherise Beynon took charge in the third quarter, scoring six points and five points, respectively, though Air Force still kept it close.

Entering the fourth quarter, though, the Lobos had a 42-39 advantage. And by the end of the game,

after a crucial four quarter in which UNM outscored Air Force 15-10, the Lobos walked away victors, 57-49.

Nunn led all scorers with 25 points — her fourth straight game of 20 or more points — and Beynon finished with 15 points. Nunn also had eight rebounds, two shy of her fifteenth double-double. Beynon, on the other hand, had five assists.

The Lobos slightly won the rebounding battle, 38-37 behind Nunn’s team-high eight rebounds.

Beynon finished with seven boards.

Up next for UNM is a road match against Utah State on Wednesday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.

What New Mexicans can expect from current drought

By Megan Holmen @megan_holmen For anyone who has lived in New Mexico their entire life, or even just a few years, hearing the word, drought, is no surprise.

The current statewide drought is severely impacting the water levels in the Rio Grande and the aquifer levels.

According to John Fleck, professor of practice in Water Policy and Governance and Director of the University of New Mexico Water Resources Program, there are two types of drought — short-term and long-term. There are differences between the way the two types impact communities, the Rio Grande and the aquifer.

Short-term droughts impact the vegetation and landscape, while

long-term droughts drain reservoirs, Fleck said.

“There is no question that it is warmer in Albuquerque and in New Mexico and the mountains in the north...There is less water than there was 50 years ago,” he said.

Most of the water in the Rio Grande comes from snowpack in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, San Juan Mountains and Chama watershed in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. The snowpack acts as storage for the water that eventually ends up in the Rio Grande.

Albuquerque is currently experiencing both a long-term drought and a short-term drought. This means that levels in the Rio Grande come spring will be extremely low. It also means agriculture in the Rio Grande Conservancy District will have to rely on water stored from previous years making farming and other agriculture difficult, Fleck said.

The Rio Grande Conservancy District stretches from below Cochiti Dam to Bosque del Apache, south of Albuquerque.

“We have been in a drought since 2000, 2001 partly due to a fundamental shift caused by climate change,” Fleck said.

UNM Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences David Gutzler said, levels of water in the Rio Grande are relatively normal at this time due to last year’s heavy snows up north. This year’s snowmelt is nearly nonexistent, and this will have big impact on flow levels in the Rio Grande starting this spring, he said “We are far below normal, and the prospects of making up the snow deficit before warmer temperatures arrive in the spring are getting worse by the day,” Gutzler said.

One of the concerns with having both a long-term drought

and short-term drought occuring at the same time is that New Mexico forests are at higher risk of fires when spring and summer months come.

“We are at risk for a very bad fire year. For two reasons, the first that we are in a drought. The second is that last year was a wet year. So there was a lot of fine fuel, grasses and now they're all dried out so they can burn more easily,” Fleck said.

The forests in New Mexico are at risk for turning into something else altogether, he said. Climate change has been causing increasingly high levels of drought.

This constant drought has been causing juniper and piñon trees to die off.

According to the NRCS National Water & Climate Center, the water levels in the Rio Grande are projected to be 21 percent of

the average flow in cubic feet per second. Fleck said the projection this year could be the lowest year on record.

The people in Albuquerque will be fine, because of groundwater in the aquifer. Albuquerque has been successful in conserving water.

In fact, Albuquerque's per capita water use is essentially half what it was 20 years ago, Fleck said.

Still, Gutzler said Albuquerque residents need to be careful with their water consumption in upcoming months, especially once summer comes around.

UNM hosts self-defense training session

By Anthony Jackson @TonyAnjackson For 90 minutes on Friday, nine female college and high school students learned self-defense using jiu jitsu in one of the Student Union Building ballrooms.

Female students learned how to diffuse situations, break holds, block punches and subdue attackers.

The event was the last part of the Real Sex Week, hosted by pro-life organization Students for Life. Other events included seminars about sex trafficking and healing after a sexual assault.

Bonifacio “Sonny” Garcia led the introductory class, utilizing his

Healing

from page

eight years of jiu jitsu experience.

Garcia said it is best to know hand-to-hand self-defense to “save yourself from a bad situation.”

“If you don’t really know what you’re doing with a can of mace or pepper spray, then you end up putting yourself in more danger,” he said.

Griffin Woolery, a junior studying population health and political science, said she came to Friday’s training to gain a “sense of self” and learn self-defense.

She said she feels okay on campus, but nighttime is the worst for her.

“I think it’s kind of terrible that... as a woman I feel like I have to do this even though I haven’t faced anything,” she said, adding that

“the possibility could be out there.”

Garcia started the class by saying people with self-defense experience have a 90 percent chance of fighting against a possible sexual assault.

Asking the class what their biggest concern was, a student answered, “Walking by myself.”

Garcia told the class they must “pay attention” to their surroundings and discouraged walking with headphones in.

“Always be aware of your surroundings,” he said. “Even when you walk around a car...stay away, three to four feet from it.”

Garcia suggested students park in well lit areas and demonstrated how to use keys as an impromptu weapon.

“I hope that nobody has to be in that position. Hopefully, you can get saved or diffuse the situation,” he said.

Attempting to pick up his partner, Janice Barela, from behind, Garcia said to offset the attacker’s balance by wrapping a leg outside theirs and creating enough space to elbow them, then swiftly kick the groin.

“Don’t be nice about it, you don’t want them to reproduce,” he said.

Garcia told students to “break their arm if you have to” in order to defend themselves.

After demonstrating six techniques, Garcia told the class there is one important thing to take away from the program.

“The key to any of this, no matter what situation is, even if you have no idea what you’re doing is...confidence,” Garcia said.

“The louder you get, the more they’ll back down.”

Woolery said the program was “a nice introductory course” and wants to continue learning jiu jitsu.

“I thought it was very in-depth, but still not too much to teach on the first time,” she said, adding that “it was a positive environment.”

accusatory way, she “could have magnified the demon,” she said.

It is important to avoid commenting or giving advice to someone who opens up about sexual assault, because that person may never tell anyone again just because of what someone else said, Frock said.

“We can not forget the power of words...Keep in mind, you speak life over people or speak death over people,” she said.

When it comes to healing, people who have experienced sexual assault should: approach a fact, have healthy thoughts and be willing to change prior beliefs, she said. There is no right or wrong way to do it, but the key to healing is approaching the facts.

Believing good things happen to good people and that sexual assault could not happen are two toxic thoughts, because when they are applied to someone who has experienced sexual assault, they can diminish self-worth, Frock said.

It is important for someone who has experienced sexual assault to change their mind by “giving yourself permission to be human,” she said.

UNM student Jacelyn Sweeney attended the event. Although she said she was familiar with most of the information Frock discussed, these are topics that need to be heard.

For Sweeney, one of the best takeaways from the talk is Frock’s

point about negative thoughts.

Being impacted by negative thoughts is something that can happen to people in a variety of situations, not just sexual assault, Sweeney said.

Frock said 1 in 4 females and 1 in 6 males are sexually assaulted in their life in New Mexico.

Svetlana Mylnikova, a UNM student who also attended the event, said the figures Frock presented are alarming.

Valdiviez said he hopes people walk away from Frock’s presentation, knowing that healing is possible and resources are available — someone affected by sexual assault does not need to keep it to themself.

“You cannot carry this

alone...I’m all for empowerment, but we were meant for connecting,” Frock said, encouraging those affected by sexual assault to speak about it with people they trust. “Tell someone, you are never alone.”

“No matter what happens in life, no other person gets to define your worth,” Frock said.

Clients should be in control of their therapy session. Although there are various methods of moving forward, it is critical that people who have been sexually assaulted are not told what to do, because they may feel they are being controlled. Feeling controlled may make them resistant to therapy, because the assault was also a moment of losing control, Frock said.

“Verbal darts” accusing the person speaking about sexual assault of being in the wrong should be avoided, she said.

She gave an example of a client who illustrated her feelings by drawing a demon lurching over a person.

If Frock spoke to the client in an

@MikhaelaSmith18 A study by University of New Mexico Health Science Center researchers was recently featured in the Journal of Immunology for their work which examines the sex bias of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, or MRSA. The findings indicate females are less susceptible to MRSA than males.

MRSA is a type of Staphylococcus, or staph, bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics. About 1 in 3 people carry Staphylococcus in their nose without any illness, and 2 in 100 people carry MRSA. MRSA is most often known for its ability to cause skin infections; however, it can also cause pneumonia and lead to sepsis if left untreated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Their study titled, “Innate Sex Bias of Staphylococcus aureus Skin Infection Is Driven by Alpha-Hemolysin,” was conducted in the lab of Pamela Hall, Ph.D., an associate professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the UNM College of Pharmacy. Hall’s lab focuses on research-related to skin infections and the host’s innate response to Staphylococcus.

Hall said this research has been a few years in the making.

“This research was started by a graduate student in my lab back in 2014 or 2015,” she said. “It was a collaborative effort between graduate students, technicians in my lab, as well as investigators in the departments of: Cell Biology and Physiology, Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine in the UNM School of Medicine.”

Hall’s team became interested in investigating the sex bias of Staphylococcus after noticing a difference in the way male and female cells responded to the bacteria.

“We noticed that if you take cells in the lab and test them for killing Staphylococcus, female cells are better at killing the bacteria,” she said.

In addition to the team’s interest

Hostiles

in understanding the sex bias nature of Staphylococcus, the National Institutes of Health, which funded Hall’s work, asked researchers to conduct their study in both male and female cells, or animal models, in order to understand the differences in how they respond.

“There is a vast difference in how the innate immune system of males and females responds to things,” Hall said. “This is known epidemiologically, but we need more basic science studies to really understand the mechanisms.”

Hall’s team began their research by isolating neutrophils — a type of white blood cell that helps fight off infections caused by bacteria — from male and female mice and incubating them with Staphylococcus.

By lysing — breaking down the cell membrane — Hall said researchers were able to count how many staph bacteria were still alive.

“We found that there were fewer staph bacteria alive in the cells that had been incubated with the female cells,” she said. “This means that female cells were better than male cells at killing staph.”

Hall said the difference in immune response between males and females can be attributed to the presence of estrogen in females.

She said she hopes future research will lead to a better understanding behind this mechanism and ultimately help advance therapies.

“We need to figure out which estrogen receptor is moderating the protection,” she said. “There are different estrogen receptors, and they can behave differently in different cells. It’s very complicated, but in the end, we would like to use this information to improve therapies.”

Hall said being published in this journal is a step in the right direction for reaching this goal and advancing future research.

“We are very happy to be published in the Journal of Immunology,” she said. “It’s a good journal that reaches a lot of people. We hope to build collaborations and advance this work as quickly as possible.”

Sex bias is important for understanding and treating MRSA, and it is also pertinent to a variety of other infections.

Kimberly Page, Ph.D., professor and chief of epidemiology, biostatistics and preventive medicine at the UNM Health Sciences Center, said understanding sex bias has been a crucial part of her research with Hepatitis C virus, or HCV. “Sex differences can be manifested at multiple points in the natural history of infection and disease,” she said. “From my own work on HCV, we know that women may be more susceptible to acquiring HCV. This is in association with both social and biological factors.”

Page said understanding sex bias is important, but the mechanism behind it is still not understood.

“Sex differences between females and males has been seen with respect to several infections, including influenza, or flu virus...

The mechanisms underlying differences in physiology and disease are not well studied. There is a growing appreciation for how females and males differentially exhibit immune responses to pathogens, not just in association with hormones, but also sex chromosome genes,” she said.

When doing research people often focus on sex differences, but Page said social and environmental factors can be at play as well.

Much like Hall, Page said she also hopes a growing understanding of sex bias will help improve the lives of patients.

“It’s always illuminating to see... how some people control infections better than others,” she said.

“These differences give us clues to designing new vaccines, therapies and disease monitoring systems.”

As for my theater experience, there were many tears, to say the least.

Growing up watching Westerns, “Hostiles” offers a fresh and modern try, but falls short when it comes to a surprising and mindblowing plot.

This movie is like many other Westerns in the plot, but differs in its depth, as it digs much deeper than I have ever seen another Western do before.

Because of modernity, the film also featured incredible cinematography and showcases the Earth in a way that older Westerns could not, with breathtaking landscapes that make the film much more relatable and believable.

The cinematography adds greatly to the movie, showcasing both the beauty and the cruelty of the land in the 1890s and helping add to the movie’s strength.

For those who like (and can handle) Westerns, this film will offer a fresh take on antiquity and is definitely worth the watch.

For those who don’t like Westerns, this film is still worth the watch, as it offers a look at pride, honor, love and race in ways not usually displayed in theaters.

UNM to work hard for next season

Monday, february 12, 2018 / Page 9

Project for New Mexico Graduates of Color Feb 15: Black History Month Read-In 12-1:30 PM, SUB Atrium

By Matthew Narvaiz

March 1: Graduate School 101 4-5 PM, SUB Trail/Spirit

@matt_narvaiz Blue-collar. That’s how senior Danny Collier described this new-look team, which features 17 freshmen as well as a few new transfers, marking a much different team than a season ago.

“It’s always blue-collar,” Collier said. “We come out to the yard everyday, work hard, and that’s all you can do. What happens on the field happens on the field. But the work, the preparation that you bring to the table each day, that’s what’s gonna get you there.”

The Lobos have lost the likes of Luis Gonzalez, Carl Stajduhar, Andre Vigil and Jack Zoellner — all who played integral roles at the plate and in their respective positions. And making up for those losses means working harder as a collective unit.

Still, the University of New Mexico poses a plethora of power on the offensive end. Junior Jared Mang, who led the Lobos a season ago in batting average at .373, is back this season, while Collier (.328) and junior infielder Hayden Schilling (.317) are also notable returnees whose bats played an integral role.

“This team you got to be patient with because there’s 20 new faces on a 35-man roster,” UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said. “This team’s a championship team.

This team has a chance to get to Omaha, but we got to be patient.”

Notable positions that need to be replaced this season are first base, third base, right field and center field, as well as the starting rotation.

Gonzalez and Tyler Stevens, as well as Johnathon Tripp and Carson Schneider, who both graduated, were regulars as far as UNM’s starting pitching went last season.

Pitching overall, though, is the big question mark for this new UNM team. But Birmingham, even though he said that his pitchers are still growing, isn’t all too worried.

He said that if his pitchers can “hit the mitt” and have command over their pitches, his team can reach Omaha.

The Lobos still pose one of the best closers in the Mountain West.

University of New Mexico head baseball coach Ray Birmingham sits against the wall of the home dugout at Santa Ana Star Field during the Lobos’ annual media day on Friday, February 9, 2018.

The Lobos open the season Friday against Oregon State.

Spring, Texas, led the conference in saves a season ago.

Tripp said that padding his stats with a bunch of saves isn’t what he’s looking for. Fitting, being that the team’s identity is “blue collar,” working day-in-and-dayout as a collective group, and less so as individuals.

Instead, Tripp said his main focus is helping the team in any way he can, and if those saves add up and his stat line looks nice, so be it — he’s just not all too worried about the flashy numbers.

As far as who will start on the mound for the Lobos’ season opener come Friday, Birmingham spoke highly of junior Chad Smith, who is from the Albuquerque area, where he played for La Cueva High School.

“What we’re known around the country for in baseball here in Albuquerque is our swagger,” Birmingham said. “Alex Bregman. Lobo baseball. We think we can. People don’t know how hard and how much you have to work to be great, and how mentally focused you have to be. Watch Chad Smith, watch what he does, because Chad Smith is the poster boy for that.”

Birmingham said that the entire infield “will be new,” while also saying that starting positions aren’t necessarily solidified. Instead, he said, he doesn’t want his players to get complacent.

“It’s gonna change, it’s gonna change, it’s gonna change,” Birmingham said on whether positions are set in stone. “I want them

to know that every day they need to try to earn the job. I want you to be comfortable and relaxed, but I want you to compete to keep it because there’s a guy sitting on the bench that wants your job.”

The Lobos open up their season with a four-game tournament over the weekend in Surprise, Arizona.

Their first opponent? That’ll be Oregon State, who is ranked No. 2 in the nation, according to D1Baseball.com and Baseball America.

That game is on Friday at 1 p.m.

But Birmingham doesn’t want it to be too easy for his team.

That’s why his teams have played the best of the best “for the last 10 years,” he said. And that’s why they’re playing Oregon State in their season opener.

Facing the second best team in the nation, though, doesn’t faze this team.

“Blue-collar again,” Schilling said, with a sense of swagger to his words. “We’re gonna be blue-collar for the next 10, and we’re gonna be blue collar for the next 30. We go into every game (thinking) no one is going to beat us.”

Hard work, dedication and a will to win. This Lobo team has that.

Protestors denounce ABQ Journal cartoon

By Madison Spratto and Kyle Land @Madi_Spratto @kyleoftheland Demonstrators took to the streets Thursday evening to protest a controversial cartoon published by the Albuquerque Journal that depicts a white couple being robbed at gunpoint by members of MS-13 with the caption, “Now, honey…

I believe they prefer to be called ‘Dreamers’...or future Democrats…” in reference to DACA recipients The cartoon was created by Sean Delonas of the syndicated Cagle Cartoons website.

“They say it’s an opinion — we say it’s hate speech,” said Bex Hampton, an organizer with the Act Now to Stop War & End Racism Coalition.

Hampton said the demonstrators are asking for the paper to “actually apologize” — referring to a statement published Thursday by the Journal’s editor-in-chief Karen Moses as “ingenuine.”

Debra Haaland, a University of New Mexico alum and Democrat who is running for Congress in CD1, said she felt perplexed about the publishing of the cartoon, calling it

“a tremendous misrepresentation of who Dreamers are.”

“If they wanted to provoke conversation on the issues of immigration and Dreamers, I think it could’ve been achieved without a racist cartoon,” Haaland said.

The protesters took part in chants, such as “Racism is not okay in the Burque” and “Karen Moses must go.”

Protesters eventually made their way across the street, stopping oncoming traffic, as they marched to the front of the Albuquerque Journal building. Several Journal staff members stood outside watching the protest.

“These are everyday (citizens) making their voices heard on the issue of race,” said Zackary Quintero, UNM Law student and president of Young Democrats of New Mexico, who was part of the protest.

Protesters held a myriad of different signs with slogans, such as “ABQ Journal: Mouthpiece of racism,” “I’m a proud NM immigrant” and “ABQ Journal: Racist and Decisive.”

Protestor Chloe Mathers, a sophomore majoring in education, said that the Journal’s editorial board

should step down, echoing the sentiments of many other protesters.

“It’d be a start,” Mathers said.

“These are the kind of things they need to do.”

In her extended statement about the cartoon, Moses said it appeared “on one level” to ridicule President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric by showing a Republican couple making false generalizations about Dreamers.

Later in the statement Moses said the Albuquerque Journal does not condone any form of racism or bigotry.

“In hindsight, instead of generating debate, this cartoon only inflamed emotions,” Moses said.

“This was not the intent, and for that, the Journal apologizes.”

Moses ended her statement saying the paper does not agree with many opinions featured on the editorial pages, which are designed to encourage debate. She said the editorial board makes decisions on what to publish on editorial pages, which are separate from the newsroom and reporters.

Democratic U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall as well

Madison Spratto / Daily Lobo / @Madi_Spratto

Protesters gather outside the Albuquerque Journal on the evening of Feb. 8, 2018, speaking out against a recent political cartoon that was published in the paper.

as Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller also expressed their sentiments about the cartoon on Twitter.

On Twitter, Keller called the cartoon “deeply racist and offensive” and said Albuquerque’s diversity and deep multicultural roots are what make the city great.

Protesters said this would not be the last time the Journal heard from them.

Sandia Labs and Anderson create new degree program

By Amy Byres @amybyres12 A new symbiotic degree program is underway, connecting the University of New Mexico’s Anderson School of Management and Sandia National Laboratories. This program aims to give UNM graduates job opportunities at Sandia National Laboratories and the education to succeed.

The two parties signed a memorandum of understanding for project management education and professional development on Jan. 31, according to a press release.

This agreement creates a Master

of Science degree in project controls, project management and program management, as well as new internship possibilities at the laboratories.

Tristan Walters, the manager of the corporate project management office and UNM alumni from Anderson School of Management, was the key negotiator in this collaboration from Sandia National Laboratories.

This program provides a better understanding in skills practiced at Sandia National Laboratories and will help better prepare students coming into the job field, he said.

“I came to Sandia without a project management background, and then...I became very passion-

ate about (it) once I came to Sandia, and so I had to learn a lot of those skill sets as I went through my career,” Walters said.

Walters said he used his experience to help create this new degree program that is applicable to real life job practices.

Over the last several years Sandia has experienced an increased demand in project management skills, said Craig White, the dean of Anderson School of Management.

He said Sandia National Labs is providing advice that could better the program and resources for students to have better job opportunities.

“There is a huge need at the labs, Sandia and Los Alamos, for this

skill set, which is understanding how to implement projects, how to budget properly (and) how to keep budgets on track,” White said.

This degree program is a process and is going through the steps to be approved, he said. It has to be approved through the Anderson faculty, then it goes through the University Faculty Senate curriculum committee. From there it goes to statewide review and finally goes through the statewide process.

It is estimated that this degree will be available in about one year to one and a half years, White said.

Despite the ongoing process, Walters said several classes have already begun.

He said students can begin to work towards a master’s certificate in project management and eventually put those credits earned toward the Master of Science program once it is formally accredited.

“There are not a whole lot of universities across the country that even have a project management program,” Walters said. “So I think this is really cutting edge.”
