Four instances of indecent exposure UNM in Zimmerman Library in 2018 waits on

By Kyle Land

@kyleoftheland Libraries at the University of New Mexico are usually thought of as safe places for students to study and access resources. For some students, though, this has been anything but true.

First reported by the Daily Lobo, there have been at least four instances of indecent exposure — individuals intentionally exposing their genitals in public — in Zimmerman Library since the beginning of the semester, only three of which were officially reported. All four of these incidents involved a subject publicly masturbating within the library.

These incidents took place on Jan. 24, Jan. 25, Feb. 11 and April 1, according to a list of incidents compiled by library staff, as well as an interview with one victim conducted by the Daily Lobo.

According to Cindy Pierard, director of Access Services at the College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences, none of these incidents involved any physical contact between subjects and students.

Two of the four incidents may

Zimmerman Library on the evening of April 11, 2018

have involved the same subject.

On Jan. 24, one student, who requested to remain anonymous, said she was sitting at a desk in the West Wing in Zimmerman Library when a man sat down right across from her after circling around the desks for a while.

“I thought he was just looking for a spot to study,” she said.

She described the subject as a balding, middle-aged AfricanAmerican man wearing a large

chain with a picture of Jesus Christ on it. Five minutes after he sat down, the student noticed that the man was touching himself sexually.

“He started to masturbate directly in front of me while looking at me,” she said.

She said she remained at her seat for a while, because she was unsure if she was actually seeing what she thought she was — she noticed that the man was focusing on her the whole time. After a few minutes,

when she stood up to leave, the subject immediately got up and ran out of the building.

She said she did not report the incident to the library or the UNM Police Department, because she was not entirely sure of what she saw.

“I never had a full, clear-on view,” she said.

Despite this, she said the incident still affected her, as she has not returned to the West Wing to study since.

While she did not file a report, the student said she told library staff and security about the incident sometime in mid-March.

Front desk workers told her similar incidents had occurred in the library that semester; however, none of her information was written down by any of the workers, she said.

She also said she mentioned the incident to one of the security guards after she a saw a man who resembled the subject using one of the computers. The security guard also did not write down any of her information when she told him about the incident that occurred in January, she said.

ASUNM

Nuñez responds to concerns about athletics

By Austin Tyra @AustinATyra The University of New Mexico’s Athletic Director Eddie Nuñez answered questions from the Associated Students of UNM during their April 11 full Senate meeting.

Nuñez apologized for not visiting the senators earlier and said, “Things have been a little bit crazy,” but added that he wants to work with them as much as possible continuing forward.

To solidify his point, Nuñez referenced previous conversations he had with outgoing ASUNM President Noah Brooks and said he wanted to be certain ASUNM voices were being heard.

He also said, “(I am) excited to be here more than some of the other places I’ve had to sit in front of recently.”

Before responding to questions by senators, Nuñez said he has “been challenged by the Board of Regents” to deliver a plan to address the athletic department’s accumulated deficit by May 1.

Athletics will present an updated budget to the BOR on April 17, but Nuñez cautioned that the decision on April 17 will not be final.

Following this, Sen. Madeline Kee asked Nuñez about the poor reputation that student-athletes sometimes have with the general student population and what he would like to do regarding issues of misbehavior in athletics.

Nuñez responded, saying athletics already “started a training process last week,” and poor conduct by student-athletes “will not be tolerated.”

Kee thanked the director and said she hopes to “see a better relationship between the student body and student-athletes.”

Sen. Jack Hodge asked about the nature of

the financial restructuring the athletics department is currently considering.

Nuñez said he “did not want to go too in depth, because a lot is depending on the (BOR meeting) next week.”

He also said, “The ultimate question, which I’m not going to speak too much in depth about, is the regents’ request to cut sports.”

Nuñez then took a moment to highlight some of the achievements of student-athletes, specifically mentioning that the UNM ski team’s high GPA. Sen. Rocky Cordova then asked Nuñez about

head football coach Bob Davie’s suspension and how athletics would work to prevent similar conduct in the future.

Nuñez said, “In respect to Coach Davie’s suspension, he served his suspension.”

Nuñez further stated that Davie is also undergoing the training previously mentioned and that he has scheduled meetings with groups, such as Africana Studies.

“I did not want to start the suspension when

athletics decision

By Danielle Prokop @ProkopDani The University of New Mexico community is stuck in a waiting game regarding the Department of Athletics’ accumulated deficit after the Finance and Facilities Committee met on Tuesday April 10.

The nearly three-hour-long meeting held few answers to the athletic department’s full budget, a surprise reduced deficit and an inconclusive end date to resolving the multi-year shortfall.

Pressure has been placed upon the University by the state’s Higher Education Department to present a solution by May 1. If the deadline is not met, HED threatened intervention by either withholding state funding or rejecting UNM’s budget, jeopardizing $181 million in appropriations.

In front of the crowd, Regent President Doughty consulted University Counsel Elsa Kircher Cole regarding the decision. He then advanced the motion to the full Board of Regents meeting for a vote next Tuesday — without a positive or negative recommendation from the committee.

“I do believe we’ve done it in the past; I’m sure this is appropriate,” Doughty said. “I would recommend that we allow this measure to move forward, because we are on a deadline with HED, but I would recommend that this committee does not make a recommendation at this point until we have all the answers.”

Answers were in short supply regarding the shrinking of the estimated fiscal year 2018 budget deficit. In one month, it shrunk from $2 million — alongside the $1.3 existing deficit at the Budget Summit — to $818,703 presented to the regents Tuesday.

“It was $2 million, but now, you come in here today, and it’s down to $818,000,” Doughty said. “I’m very, very confused by that, and very concerned about that.”

The team explained that the revenues did not include game guarantees, which are also called play-for-pay games. In expenses, a $1.6 million decrease in Supplies/ Services/Fees was “recategorized.”

An additional $360,000 in grant and aid, which are scholarships for athletes, was accounted for twice. The regents are asking for a detailed explanation of deficit reduction in the meeting next week.

“(The security guard) looked at me weird like I was a paranoid person,” she said. “You tell somebody and you expect it to be handled, and I don’t think it was at all.”

According to Francie Cordova, director of the Office of Equal Opportunity, security guards are subject to all University policies when they are hired, even if they work for an outside company.

She said failing to report such an incident could potentially violate OEO policy.

Megan Samora,a freshman who permitted the Daily Lobo to use her name, was studying in the West Wing on Jan. 25 when she experienced a similar event.

She said that a man, whom she described as middle-aged and African-American with a bald spot and large cross necklace, was wandering around the desks. After they made eye contact and smiled at one another, the man sat down at the desk adjacent to the one Samora was sitting at.

After an hour, she said she noticed the man was moving his hand next to his stomach. She said that he must have seen her looking at him, because he then pulled back his shirt, which revealed that he was masturbating.

“I just sat there in horror,” she said. “I couldn’t find the words.”

Samora said she debated whether or not to draw attention to the man to let other people around know what was happening — the library was very crowded that day. Instead, she went straight to the security guard at the front desk and informed them of the situation. When she and the security guard returned to where the incident occurred, the man was gone.

Afterward, Samora gave the security guard a description of the subject. She said she thought a report would then be filed with UNMPD. When she called UNMPD five days later, she found that no report had been filed with the department.

“I was kind of really angry that the police station at UNM had no idea that happened,” she said.

Pierard said no report was filed, in part, because Zimmerman Library never received

the victim’s name.

Samora said she gave the security guard her name and email address after the incident occurred.

On Jan. 30, Samora filed a police report with UNMPD. Officer Patricia Young, an investigator with the Sexual Misconduct and Assault Response Team, was put on the case.

Young said she had a meeting with library staff, where she advised them on how to better handle and prevent such situations.

Young said that if library security, which is contracted through an outside company called Securitas, called UNMPD after Samora reported the incident, it could have led to the apprehension of the subject using the description of the individual.

Securitas is contracted privately through Zimmerman Library. The officers are not allowed to physically remove any subject from the library themselves, according to Ed Padilla, Facilities Services manager.

Padilla said the security officers “are the eyes and ears of UNMPD.” On Feb. 10 a man, who matched the descriptions given by Samora and the anonymous student from the previously mentioned incidents, was seen in the library, according to a list of incidents compiled by the library.

Security alerted UNMPD, but when police arrived, the man had already left.

Samora said the incident greatly affected her and that she was only able to return to Zimmerman Library after discussing it with her therapist.

“I was crying for multiple days afterwards,” she said. “I just felt so dirty, like I had brought it on myself by smiling at him.”

She also said that, at the time, she did not think indecent exposure was a serious enough crime to feel sad about.

“It was around that time when #MeToo was very big,” Samora said. “You would hear all these horrible things that happened to women — I kind of felt like I didn’t have the right to feel as disturbed as I was.”

According to Pierard, there are cameras in the lobbies of each floor in Zimmerman

and no cameras are placed in the rest of the building, including the West Wing. Pierard said the library is currently looking to expand cameras to this area.

Funding has been set aside for more cameras, and the library might receive some in the future, Young said.

Pierard and Padilla also said a roving guard walks through all the campus libraries to see if anything is wrong. Pierard added that student employees at the library walk around the building about once an hour.

Genevieve Romero, a freshman who works in Zimmerman Library, said problems in the library do not only include indecent exposures.

“A lot of us that work (at the library) are women, and we get people up at the desk all the time that are inappropriate or intoxicated,” Romero said.

She detailed an incident that occurred when a man repeatedly attempted to touch her while she was working. She said that, due to these incidents, the library should be closed to the general public, because “a line has been crossed.”

Pierard said she is hesitant to close the libraries to the public, because they are funded by taxpayer dollars. She also said that outside researchers often use UNM libraries for their work.

Both Samora and Romero expressed frustrations that LoboAlerts were not sent out for any of the three reported indecent exposures that took place this semester.

“We get LoboAlerts when women get groped outside the bookstore…How come we don’t get any information when it happens inside the library?” Romero said.

Byron Piatt, emergency manager at UNM, said LoboAlerts are only sent out when there is a “continuing threat” on campus that would disrupt the normal operations of the University. He said the LoboAlert system is not meant to send out alerts for every criminal act on campus.

“It’s not a news service — it’s an emergency alert service,” Piatt said.

Samora said if UNMPD had been contacted

by library security and sent out a LoboAlert, the subject might have been captured.

Romero said outside groups, such as the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico, could assist in making the libraries safer for students.

The Budget Leadership Team, which a member of ASUNM sits on, recommended an increase in tuition, in part to improve campus safety. The tuition increase was approved by the Board of Regents at the Budget Summit on March 22.

According to Noah Michelsohn, director of communications for ASUNM, there are currently no plans to improve safety within the libraries, adding that the extra capital outlay they did receive, around $50,000, will go toward LED lighting in A-Lot and around the Duck Pond.

Michelsohn said ASUNM would look into safety in the libraries “if students are highlighting that as a priority.”

Both Samora and the anonymous student said UNM could greatly improve how these instances are handled in terms of prevention and reporting.

Samora also said the nature of the crime, which was not physical, does not mean that it was not a crime.

“Even though it was just him exposing himself to me, it doesn’t lessen the effect it had,” she said. “I feel that there should be (more) done in order to protect students.”

Pierard said there is no time limit on filing a report, and students are always free to talk to library staff about any issue they may have while in the library. She also said she apologizes if any student felt that their voice was silenced.

they were in the middle of spring ball, but after speaking with (athletes) they did a tremendous job,” Nuñez said.

He later said staff and athletes will be trained on proper procedures and conduct.

Wrapping up the questions for Nuñez, Sen. Nadine Oglesby asked him what he believed is the root cause of the accumulated deficit and which UNM sport is the most profitable.

Nuñez said if revenue is understood in the terms of “butts in seats,”

then “the one sport that generates revenue would be men’s basketball.”

Regarding the athletic deficit within the department, Nuñez said, “All I have done is ask for an opportunity to be successful here.

If we can resolve (fiscal year 2018), there are several or more opportunities for (fiscal year 2020). The biggest concern for this budget for me is if this doesn’t get approved next week it hinders the University, and athletics will not be able to move forward.”

Nuñez eventually left the meeting,

and Theresa Sherman, senior marketing representative for Resident Life & Student Housing, and Wayne Sullivan, director of Residence Life & Student Housing, took the stage.

The duo was present at the meeting to respond to questions from senators regarding the upcoming Fall 2018 freshmen-live-on-campus requirement.

Wayne cited studies used by Resident Life & Student Housing and said, when freshmen live on campus, they tend to have improved graduation rates, grades and retention rates when compared to those

who did not live on campus.

Sherman said New Mexico State University started a similar requirement this year, and it is “not a new concept.”

Wayne also mentioned that $22 million has been invested over the last 11 years to improve residential halls, and Coronado Hall will be renovated this summer.

Students who live within 30 miles of UNM are exempt from the requirement. A list of exempt zip codes may be found UNM housing website.

Before the full BOR meeting next week, the athletic department was given an extensive laundry list of data they need to present: • Learfield multimedia agreement to film games • Ticket sales analysis since 2017 • Fundraising figures from fiscal year 2017-18 • Facility rentals, such as concerts held at the football field • Mike Haggardy’s job description and future plans for facilities • The Pit debt-transfer analysis • The performance of the Athletics Department at a 5 percent vacancy • Personnel expenses and line-item justifications Deficit analysis — explaining the decrease of fiscal year 2018 deficit from $2.2 million to $818,703 in one month A full budget outlining reserve funds of the athletics department encompassing their

Operating budget, Public Services (I&G) and Internal Services budgets President Garnett Stokes said some sports are definitely getting cut, although the specifics are still unclear.

She added that most of the changes could not be implemented until fiscal year 2020.

“Balancing this budget will not be possible without making some extremely tough decisions,” Stokes said.

She is directing recently appointed Athletic Director Eddie Nuñez to make a set of criteria to eliminate sports, with the decision as to which sports are chopped, being slated for July 1, 2018.

“We are better off supporting fewer sports and doing it well than stretching ourselves too thin and compromising the high-quality experience our student-athletes should expect from this institution,” Stokes said.

The plan also requested funding from the land sale of Mesa Del Sol, under the discretion

of the regents. According to Stokes, the money has been previously used to fund baseball field renovations and the rebranding campaign at UNM. The team requested $1.7 million from this account.

“The $1.7 million figure was the amount the team determined necessary to balance the FY 2018-2019 budgets before instating the cost containments,” Blair said. “It’s a bridge. It’s what Athletics is going to have to pay down.”

The plan also asks for a non-recurring transfer from Main Campus of $641,000 to bridge the 2019 budget.

“I do not think it is realistic at this time to expect our athletics department to be fully self-sustaining without institutional support,” Stokes said.

In a press conference, the Daily Lobo asked Nuñez what exactly is getting cut in the sports program to make the $1.9 million budget requirement.

“It’s a combination,” Nuñez said. “It’s personal, it’s staff, it’s support groups, it’s expenses and revenues in regards to the teams — it’s a combination of all that.”

The chairwoman of the committee, BOR Vice President Marron Lee, made a quip regarding the miscalculation of $1 million below the fundraising mark set for 2018.

“Was there something else with LoboClub — a large dying off of donors?” Lee said.

Nuñez told the regents Lobo fans have qualms supporting the department after financial mismanagement.

“There’s been a lack of trust within our department, and a lot of our donors have expressed that discontent by not purchasing tickets,” Nuñez said.

Aggies trample Lobos at Santa Ana Star Field

By Matthew Narvaiz @matt_narvaiz The first matchup this season between the University of New Mexico Lobos and New Mexico State Aggies was a blowout, with the Aggies cruising to a 9-1 victory at Santa Ana Star Field.

New Mexico State (20-13, 6-3 WAC) used a six-run second inning to build a comfortable margin and propel itself to the big win over New Mexico (12-181, 6-9 MW) on Tuesday evening.

It was the Lobos’ sixth straight loss, and pitching continued to be an issue — at least early on — as the starter got roughed up by some solid bats. UNM senior pitcher James Harrington got the start on the mound, but didn’t last long. He gave up eight runs on nine hits in an outing that lasted just two innings.

He started the bottom of the third, but never recorded an out — giving up a lead-off single and issuing a base on balls before being switched out for sophomore pitcher Nathaniel Garley.

The Aggies scored another run in the top of the third off a wild pitch by Garley, adding to their already sizable lead to snag an 8-0 advantage.

UNM head coach Ray Birmingham acknowledged that he took Harrington out too late, but said that they didn’t have anyone ready in the bullpen fast enough to make the switch.

It may not have mattered who was throwing pitches though, as the Lobos struggled mightily on offense as well — stranding nine baserunners. Senior left fielder Danny Collier led off for UNM and was able to get on base with a single in the bottom of the first inning, but was caught stealing second base shortly thereafter.

The Lobos didn’t get another hit until the bottom of the fifth inning when freshman shortstop Garrett Gouldsmith led off the frame with another base hit. Collier was walked later in the inning and the Lobos appeared to be in good shape with runners on first and second base with one nobody out.

But NMSU first baseman Caleb Henderson turned the tide. He extended to make a diving grab, denying Lobo junior Hayden Schilling a potential hit and recorded an unassisted double play by tagging first base to get Collier for a second out.

It almost resulted in a triple play, but Gouldsmith was able to hustle base to second base to narrowly beat the throw by Henderson. But New Mexico State got that third out anyway in the next at-bat, ending what may have been the Lobos’ best chance at a rally.

UNM added hits in the home halves of both the seventh and eighth inning, but was still unable to bring anyone home. The Lobos finally broke through in the ninth inning to avoid a shutout, plating a lone run to pull within 9-1.

Junior Jeff Deimling led off the frame with a single, before he advanced to second on another base knock from sophomore Robby Campillo. Gouldsmith drove in a run with a two-out hit to center field, scoring Campillo and putting runners on first and second base.

But the home team couldn’t mount a comeback as Collier struck out to end the game, capping an impressive win by the Aggies.

Harrington took the loss, dropping his record to 0-2 on the season, while New Mexico State’s Justin Dehn picked up the win, as the right-handed hurler surrendered just two hits

For New Mexico, Gouldsmith was the only Lobos to register a multi-hit game with two hits on the day. He went 2-for-3 at the plate and drove in Campillo, who was the only UNM player to reach home plate.

The Lobos will head Reno, Nevada to take on the University of Nevada Wolf Pack in a three-game weekend series starting Friday at 7 p.m. It will be the second series meeting between the two teams, as Nevada took two of three games when the teams met earlier in the year in Albuquerque.

Trump is a farce of genuine conservatism Editor, Trump rode the slimmest of victories to the presidency only 17 months ago.

He got there through the support of conservatives from the right wing upset about the former president’s policies. In the short time since, the president has managed to increase the federal deficit tremendously.

He has come out for corporate welfare for coal companies. He has come out against legalizing marijuana.

He has come out for civil asset forfeiture in direct violation of the constitution.

Of the many people fired, resigning or asked to resign from his cabinet, most have been accused of grifting, most of them not even making a pretext or an excuse.

In foreign policy he has enacted tariffs that would have booted anyone else from the conservative camp.

He has damaged the free world market set up after the fall of the Soviet Union, possibly beyond repair, as the domino effect of protectionism and tariff/countertariff is splitting the world into “Us” and “Them.” He is also tucking his tail and running from Syria leaving dictator Assad in power and Russia firmly in control of the Middle East.

His family has been enriched by his position, as have many of his personal friends — and himself. Again, there has been little pretext and little excuse. They seem hellbent on milking the country for everything it has before inevitably being forced from office.

The Trump regime is everything the conservatives of the past 50 years dreamed liberals were. The ideals of Reagan, Goldwater and Taft, all to be sacrificed on the pier of his cult of personality, should the two differ.

America should not act rashly in Syria Editor, Praise be to God that the ugly war in Syria seems to be nearing its end.

The secular, Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad has recently liberated the last major urban stronghold of the ISIS and Al-Qaeda affiliated rebels in Eastern Ghouta.

All that being said, it’s more than a little suspect that mainstream media outlets in the West are now accusing the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against civilians.

Moreover, there seems to be an odd pattern developing where every time the Syrian government is on the verge of delivering a major defeat to the terrorist rebels, they suddenly succumb to the urge to use chemical weapons on civilians, which inevitably provokes an backlash from the U.S. government. If we are going to seriously investigate this crime, then let us start by asking ourselves who benefits from

this latest attack, because whoever stands to gain the most from this new development will more than likely be the perpetrator.

Back in 2013 the American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed something quite shocking about the rebels fighting to topple the government of Assad.

Hersh wrote, “The American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports...citing evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaida, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity.”

According to Hersh, the rebels are in possession of chemical weapons — and isn’t it true that desperate people do desperate things?

Wouldn’t the rebels have a strong motive to try and pin a chemical attack on President Assad in order to provoke a U.S. attack on Syria in order to save their hides?

At the moment the world is on edge waiting to see if President Trump is foolish enough to fall into the trap that these terrorists in Syria have set for him. If President Trump succumbs to the pressure of those calling for military action to be taken against the Syrian government, then it will be a colossal

blunder with tragic consequences.

As former Vice President Joe Biden and current Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard have both pointed out, there are no “moderate” rebels fighting in Syria, rather President Assad is fighting ISIS and Al-Qaeda. God willing the United States government can practice restraint in this crucial moment so that the Syrian Arab Army and their allies can finish off the remaining terrorists causing trouble in their country.

Spirit Program

A glimpse into the life of Lobo Louie

By Alanie Rael and Rober Maler @AllyRael @Robert_Maler The University of New Mexico’s Spirit Program members log countless hours practicing cheers and routines to meet the physical demands of performing tumbles, flips and other feats on game day.

Now imagine doing all of those things while having limited vision and mobility and being weighed down by a heavy, bulky suit. That is the case for those who transform into the Lobo Louie and Lobo Lucy mascots that fans see at so many sporting events.

Louie has been a University of New Mexico icon since the early 1960s, while Community Relations and Spirit Coordinator Madison Baumann estimates Lucy was introduced as a mascot sometime in the mid-80s.

Some may think Louie and Lucy are a couple, but that isn’t the case.

Baumann said the two are actually brother and sister.

Sometimes there are multiple students that earn the chance to become the Lobo mascots, but that hasn’t been the case lately. Lobo Lucy was a rare sight for fans this past season, as no one was able to take on the role full-time.

While the responsibility of the other iconic figure rested on the shoulders of a single student — a figurative and literal lone wolf — to keep the role of Lobo Louie going.

Baumann said very few people know the identity of the man inside the suit, and there shouldn’t be a face or a voice attached to the mascot.

She cited autonomy as something that is necessary to preserve the continued viability of Lobo Louie and mascots in general, because someone with a new face and voice won’t be far behind.

“Any of our mascots have to be extremely careful not to ruin that persona,” she said. “Obviously, most students graduate in four to five years and then they move on.”

Baumann said she reached out to the student who eventually became Lobo Louie, thinking he would be a good fit once he came out of his shell. She said she believed he possesses all the characteristics to be successful and overcome obstacles.

Of the many challenges that come with the job, the anonymous student said not being able to speak while in character is one of the harder ones.

“I’m very vocal...and I’m very loud, so it’s definitely a struggle,” the student said.

He said he has had to find creative ways to get his message across using non-verbal communication.

Louie is typically led around by a cheerleader who stays by his side on game day. He demonstrated the way he puts his fists together and separates them, simulating the act of breaking something — this alerts his handler that he could use a break.

But there are plenty of other challenges beyond the sensory deprivation that accompany the gig.

The student said he has to dedicate a lot of time to practice and exercise to be in shape to perform while wearing the garb.

Some of the other responsibilities that come with the job are similar to those that student-athletes are tasked with. He must maintain a certain GPA and attend practices and games, all while engaging and performing in front of fans.

He also needs to prepare for certain interactions with fans, he said.

“Mentally, you have to prepare yourself to handle certain situations where people are in your space, because you are the mascot,” he said.

While in character, there have been people who got a little handsy or grabbed at him, he said.

Lobo Louie poses for a picture in Dreamstyle Arena on April 3, 2018.

Additionally children, armed with either curiosity or maybe some mischievousness, have pulled at his tail or poked at his eyes to test how realistic Louie is.

But he said he has mastered the art of patience and has always kept his composure. This remained true even when some of the pain was self-inflicted.

He recalled an incident in which he carried a flag onto the basketball court at the recent Mountain West Tournament. The court at the Thomas & Mack Center during the

tournament is elevated, and Lobo Louie tripped while running onto it — taking a hard fall onto the hardwood. Both he and Baumann laughed as they recalled how he played it off with the crowd and turned what could have been an embarrassing moment into something fun.

The student said he has definitely been able to step out of his comfort zone and has learned how to have fun while being in the suit.

Football games are probably his favorite sporting events to perform at, because there is a lot more space to move around, he said.

One thing Louie doesn’t have to worry about is the costume itself. Baumann said the equipment managers have been fantastic about keeping the suits, which she referred to as “furs,” clean and available when needed.

She said there are a variety of furs that are catered to the particular sport the mascot will be attending, along with four tops — two in the form of Louie and two of Lucy.

The biggest personal accomplishment was becoming proficient at tumbling while in the costume, he said.

He performed some of the moves after a quick wardrobe

change, culminating in a series of flips near half court at Dreamstyle Arena, even though there were no fans in The Pit to appreciate it.

He said portraying Lobo Louie has allowed him to grow, and he has appreciated the opportunity and looks forward to continue playing the part again.

Official tryout forms for playing Lobo Louie or Lobo Lucy

must be submitted by Monday, and the mascot tryout will be held on April 21. For tryout times and location or any other additional information, students can email unmspirit@unm.edu.

Ethnic studies hope to expand curricula

By Tasawar Shah @tashah_80 Chicana and Chicano Studies and Native American Studies are looking to add a master’s and doctorate degree to their curricula.

Africana Studies is currently looking to earn departmental status, but hopes to add a master’s and doctorate degree to their program in the future as well.

Africana Studies Africana Studies at the University of New Mexico is currently a degree-granting undergraduate program that offers majors and minors for students in Africana Studies but is looking to become a department, according to Africana Studies Director Dr. Charles Becknell, Jr. “We plan to complete a proposal for department status by the end of this summer and moving into the 2018-2019 academic year,” Becknell, Jr. said.

“Department status is our initial goal, and our future goal is to offer a graduate program — and the reason behind this is that many of our majors and minors

want to stay at UNM after they complete their undergraduate degree. But unfortunately, we do not have a master’s program, so we are losing students to other universities who offer graduate degrees. So, it makes a common sense and fiscal sense to offer an M.A./Ph.D. program where we can retain students.”

When discussing the importance of ethnic studies programs and departments at the University, Becknell, Jr. said, “(UNM) cannot live up to its potential or promise, or its claim, to be a diverse institution without establishing vibrant, stable ethnic studies graduate degree-granting departments.”

Chicana and Chicano Studies The Faculty Senate Curricula Committee approved the creation of a master’s and doctorate program for Chicana and Chicano Studies in 2015.

Irene Vasquez, a professor and the chair of Chicana and Chicano Studies, said the committee supported the department’s proposal without opposition.

“We have left no stone unturned, as (we have) gone through

a very careful methodical process of developing a very strong rationale in the proposal,” she said.

“(UNM) cannot live up to its potential or promise, or its claim, to be a diverse institution without establishing vibrant, stable ethnic studies graduate degree-granting departments.”

the department and dozens who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the department, Vasquez said.

Vasquez said the department has an incredible community that showed support, and Chicana and Chicano Studies launched a social media campaign to help.

She said the department has a very strong, distinguished awardwinning faculty who will be part of the master’s and Ph.D. program.

If the proposal is passed through the academic Senate, Vasquez the next step is for it to go through the state’s Higher Education Department, which could take up to a year.

“We are very confident about that level of review, because we already have about a dozen legislators who are supporting us, and five of them have recently sent a letter to President Stokes asking for her support for the master’s and Ph.D. program,” Vasquez said, adding that she is optimistic UNM will approve the new program.

Moises Santos, an instructor for the department and a Ph.D. student in the history department, said the idea is great, and he is happy that the application form was approved by the provost’s office.

“I’m very excited, because it’s a great pathway, especially for undergrads like me,” said Lucy Honorato, and online Chicana and Chicano Studies student, adding that she is looking forward to the potential of being able to apply to the M.A./Ph.D. program in the future.

Native American Studies Department The master’s and doctoral degree pathways at the Native American Studies Department have not been finalized.

Llyod Lee, an associate professor in the department, said he supports and appreciates the decision to make Native American Studies a department. He said UNM should also approve Africana Studies’ departmental status, as it is long overdue and the faculty for all ethnic programs are “well-known and excellent.”

“Universities all over the U.S. should recognize these kinds of programs,” Lee said.

Marjorie Goldstein helps finance medical orgs

By Amy Byres

@amybyres12 Editor’s Note: This is part of a series of five profiles on women associated with the University of New Mexico, who have been recognized

by Albuquerque Business First as women of influence in New Mexico.

The University of New Mexico’s Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer at UNM Medical Group, Inc. Marjorie Goldstein said she considers herself to be a humble person that has had success due to her strong financial capabilities.

She helped raise $143 million in financing to open UNM Sandoval

Regional Medical Center, according to Albuquerque Business First.

Goldstein serves as a treasurer on two different boards: the New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance, which helps make clinical trials available to patients throughout New Mexico, and the Albuquerque SANE Collaborative, which provides sexual assault and domestic violence victims with specialized care she said.

“For me it’s just been a matter of seeing more of what goes on out in our community; it just helps you grow as an individual, helps you appreciate the diversity of our community,” she said. “Over time, for me at least, I’ve become more and more confident in my abilities, in my skills and be able to bring that to others, like in the non-

profit organizations for the boards on which I serve. It is just nice that I can help make a difference.”

While working on the New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance board, the organization grew even closer to Goldstein’s heart when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and later became a cancer survivor, she said.

“I’ve had members of my family who have had (a) cancer diagnosis or have died from cancers, so it's (serving on the New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance board) always had some meaning but it became even closer with my own diagnosis,” Goldstein said.

Goldstein’s life experiences drive her and help her listen to others — serving with the Albuquerque

SANE Collaborative she has heard stories that have moved her through the years, she said.

A few years ago at a fundraiser celebrating 15 years of the Albuquerque SANE Collaborative, one of their past patients spoke and her story moved her, Goldstein said.

“She spoke beautifully, she talked about her experience with domestic abuse and the experience she had under the care of the SANE nurse, and it was so incredibly touching, and it just helped you understand why we do what we do,” she said.

Goldstein also finds happiness at home.

“I have two daughters both adopted from China who are just the light of my life,” she said.

Her daughters are young women in college right now, and they are a big part of what has transformed Goldstein over the years beyond the work that she does, she said.

“I enjoy having fun. I love being with my family. I enjoy going to musical theater. I mean, that makes me so happy,” she said Amy Byres is a news and culture reporter at the Daily Lobo.

Men’s Tennis

Away split puts Lobos 2-2 in conference play

By Matthieu Cartron @cartron_matt

The University of New Mexico men’s tennis team split their second pair of Mountain West conference matches to go 12-9 on the season and 2-2 in conference play.

The first of the two fixtures was away to San Diego State. Last season, UNM lost to SDSU on a couple of occasions. One loss came in Mountain West play, while the other occured in the Mountain West tournament.

With last season’s disappointing results in mind, the matchup proved to be a potential benchmark for the Lobos, a measure of progress for a squad largely unchanged from the previous season.

It was close, but UNM found a way to break its recent SDSU stint.

In doubles, UNM’s Dominic West and Sean Baklini fell 6-4 at the No. 2 position to freshman Jan Kirkoff and junior Raul de la Torre. After the initial loss, the pressure fell on the remaining two UNM doubles pairs to win their matches.

But the Aztecs ended any hope of a UNM doubles resurgence after SDSU sophomore Arnaud Restifo and sophomore David Hough ousted Ricky-Hernandez Tong and freshman Stepan Holis 6-4 to seize the doubles point for the Aztecs.

Despite the early setback, the Lobos reasserted themselves in singles play.

At the No. 1 position, UNM senior Bart van Leijsen leveled the

score with a 6-1, 6-1 win over SDSU’s Ignacio Martinez. Holis and Hernandez-Tong, at the No. 5 and No. 2 positions respectively, then put the Lobos up 3-1 with back to back victories, bringing UNM within one point of winning the overall match.

But at the No. 3 position, UNM’s West lost to SDSU junior Sander Gjoels-Andersen 7-5, 6-1, and SDSU’s de la Torre soon followed up with a victory over Baklini, tying the game 3-3.

Fortunately for UNM, senior Jorge Escutia was able to clinch the overall victory, beating sophomore Rafael Gonzalez Almazan 7-6, 6-4.

“The Mountain West Conference is really competitive, so a road win at SDSU is great to get,” Dunbar said in a release. “It’s also good to taste

winning here because the conference tournament is here in two weeks.”

Despite the important road win, the Lobos were unable to build momentum two days later. UNVL, 13-7 on the season and on an impressive run of form, took the game to the Lobos.

The Rebels clinched the doubles point through freshman Clayton Alenik and junior Richard Solberg, and in singles, senior Alexandr Cozbinov beat UNM’s Van Leijsen 6-2, 6-1 to put UNLV up 2-0.

The Rebels, closing in on the overall victory, went up 3-0 through Solberg, who defeated Holis 6-2, 6-2 at the No. 5 position.

Despite the onslaught from the Rebels, the Lobos continued to fight, and even for a moment looked as though they might pull

off what would have been an impressive comeback.

West picked up a victory for the Lobos at the No. 3 position, and Baklini edged freshman Jordan Sauer 7-5, 7-6 at the No. 6 position, but Escutia, the hero of the previous match, came out second best to sophomore Eric Samuelsson, who won 2-6, 6-1, 7-6.

The Lobos will continue conference play this Friday, taking on Utah State at 5 p.m. MDT at the McKinnon Family Tennis Center.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

Alum credits the Lobo for journalism skills

By Elizabeth Sanchez @Beth_A_Sanchez Editor’s Note: This is part of a series of alumni profiles of former Daily Lobo contributors, in an effort to connect current readers and contributors to the past and present.

Continue to follow the Daily Lobo for more.

Damian Garde started his career in journalism at a young age.

He was 15 when he started writing for the Youth Express page for the Albuquerque Journal. Upon starting college in 2006, he knew he had an interest in journalism and decided to apply for the Daily Lobo, he said.

Garde worked at the Lobo throughout his time at the University of New Mexico. He started as a culture reporter and later worked as deputy culture editor, copy chief, managing editor and editor-inchief. During his last year at UNM, he held the positions of both copy editor and columnist, he said.

James Montalbano was the writing coach at the Daily Lobo while Garde was part of the staff.

As a reporter, Montalbano described Garde as diligent and thorough, and as an editor, Montalbano said, “I think he’s about as smart as they come.” He also said he is one of the funniest people he knows.

Jim Fisher, the business manager at the time Garde was a staff member, also described Garde as incredibly intelligent and one of the most humorous people he’s met.

Both Montalbano and Fisher said the newsroom functioned well during Garde’s term as editor-in-chief.

Garde was great at asking the right questions and putting things into context, Fisher said. Additionally, he said Garde could “push the envelope” at times and “take things to another level,” all the while being fun to be around and work with.

“Even though (Garde) may have been the smartest one in the room a lot of the time, he (rarely) acted like it,” Montalbano said.

Immediately after graduating from UNM in 2010 with a degree in political science, Garde began looking for work. “(I did) whatever I could do to make money,” he said, adding that the Albuquerque Tribune had closed, so many journalists worked at the Albuquerque Journal or a TV station.

Instead, Garde freelanced at the Alibi and held other jobs elsewhere.

After a few months, Garde found a job at patch.com, an online publication that aimed to place reporters in towns where there was not a lot of journalism coverage, he said. Later, he worked as a writer and copy editor for Fierce Biotech, a publication that covers pharmaceutical and biotech industry.

In 2015, the Boston Globe launched STAT, a publication covering medical and health sciences. Garde began working there in 2016 and has worked there since, he said.

Garde still credits the Lobo for some of his success as a reporter.

“The Lobo was always there...

We always had each other’s backs.

It was as sloppy and occasionally idiotic, as anything run by 20-yearolds can be, or ought to be. But that was the most formative education I got...If I am a (good reporter), it is

almost entirely a credit to the Lobo for giving me a chance,” Garde said.

Speaking about his role as editor-in-chief, he said, “The terror of you being the final say on things balanced with the incredible exhilaration of you being the final say on things,” has helped him learn a lot in terms of both confidence and humility.

“In all of my memories of the Lobo, I’m not alone for any of them...You’re only as good as your ability to work with the people you’ve selected to do the job you can’t do,” Garde said.

Fisher said Garde would likely shudder at the idea, but he would like to see him “be an effective political leader.”

Montalbano said he hopes Garde feels fulfilled in what he is working on currently.

“I hope (what he is doing is) challenging enough and interesting enough...I really do think he could do just about anything...I kind of don’t think of him as a reporter. I think of him as a writer, a thinker, a social critic. And he may be just punching the clock and paying the bills, doing what he’s doing, and he might have three-quarters of a great novel done, I don’t know. We’ll see,” Montalbano said of Garde.

As far as advice goes for anyone interested in becoming a journalist, Garde said, “At every stage, you just have to do the work. You have to read everything. You have to be realistic about what you’re good at and what you’re not. You have to do the reporting...You just have to be the best at what you do to the best of your ability with the experience you have...The one thing

you can control is whether you did more work than someone else.”

When asked about roadblocks, Garde said immaturity could result in someone having preconceived notions — you can do something wrong and have a tantrum or you can move on.

“The more you learn, the more you’re exposed to things, the more you fail at things,” he said. “You just get a little bit better and become a little bit less of a jerk, and eventually, hopefully, you become a good journalist.”
