Event raises awareness of sexual violence

By Catherine Stringam @cathey_stringam University of New Mexico community members gathered at Cornell Mall Wednesday evening to advocate and raise awareness for sexual violence.

The event, formerly called Take Back the Night, was renamed Survivors Stand. It was hosted by the Student Alliance for Reproductive Justice, a student run group on campus.

Survivors Stand was one of the last events at UNM held during April for Sexual Assault Awareness month.

SARJ President Jasmin Valdez said the group wanted to create a way for student voices to be heard. SARJ invited anyone to come up and share their experiences or writings about sexual violence. There were also had booths with resources, art therapy, music, food and more.

Many women read their own poetry while dealing with different forms of sexual violence.

Reina Davis was one of these poets. She said, “Writing has been a really good way for me to process things, to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite and heal.”

Maria Vielma, a student at UNM, also read a poem, saying she has never been a victim of sexual violence but is constantly afraid she will be.

“I’m scared of becoming a college statistic while walking back from Zimmerman after late night studying,” Vielma read.

More than 15 women stood up and shared their sexual assault stories, and the audience applauded for each one.

According to RAINN, a national anti-sexual violence organization, 1 in every 6 women will

@ProkopDani @Madi_Spratto Cheers from demonstrators filled Scholes Hall Tuesday afternoon after the University of New Mexico Faculty Senate unanimously approved a master’s, master’s certificate and doctoral program for the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department.

Established 50 years ago, the department is now one step closer to achieving their goal of having students pursue advanced degrees in understanding Mexican-American culture, language, identity and history across disciplines.

“We have a deep sense of satisfaction,” CCS Chair Irene Vasquez said between hugs and congratulations after the meeting. “It’s taken a long time and a lot of student and community effort to propel this effort forward — that’s why there’s so much jubilation here.”

While Vasquez said today was a vital step for establishing future programs, this is not the end of the road.

The department’s proposal must go before the UNM Board of Regents Academic/Student Affairs & Research Committee, face a full board meeting and finally go before the Higher Education

“These discussions need to be had, and we need places where it’s okay to have them,” said Payton Hanna, a member of the band playing at the event.

Pamela Cheek, Ph.D. a professor at UNM and member of Faculty for a Sexual Assault Free Environment, said people cannot learn if they do

Cheek said she has been sexually assaulted in both small and big ways, but that what impacted her even more was the rape and murder of her sister. She said she works every day to not let the people who harmed her and her sister have power in her life anymore.

Faculty votes to expand Chicana, Chicano Studies

Department for approval.

The program aims to have an incoming cohort for CCS graduate studies in the Fall of 2019.

Petitions circulated in support for the department in the weeks leading up to the April 24 meeting. Around 30 people — including students, faculty, staff and community members — crowded the second floor of Scholes Hall to support the program. They demonstrated with signs, accompanied with quiet guitar music.

Mercedes Ávila is a Master of Arts candidate in Language Literature and Sociocultural Studies at UNM. She graduated in 2016 with a bachelor’s in CCS. She said the program helped her pursue her master’s degree, and without the department’s support, she would be unable to finish graduate school. “(CCS) provided me a home at UNM,” Ávila said. “It helped me contextualize my history and allowed me to understand my responsibility.”

Moises Santos, a graduate instructor for CCS and a history Ph.D. student, was at the demonstration to show his support. He said he received his undergraduate degree in CCS and the unanimous vote was “incredible to see.”

“It’s a great step forward,” he said. “We’ve been going through the review process and we still have some to go through...and we’re looking forward to those

processes, but this is definitely a positive push forward.”

Earlier this year, Gov. Susana Martinez line-item vetoed $125,000 from New Mexico’s budget that was approved by the Legislature for the CCS Department’s pilot program. Vasquez said the department will lobby for support of the program from the Legislature in January’s session.

Vasquez said support for the program has come from alumni, students and faculty, which has sustained the movement.

“It’s taken a lot of work and

momentum to build to this point,” Vasquez said. “It’s pretty remarkable, because there’s been nothing on the website. It’s all been word of mouth.”

To say that newspapers are struggling is a dramatic understatement.

Newsroom staff numbers are being slashed, subscriptions are dwindling and more publications than ever are moving away from print media, opting to go online instead either because of finances or a shift in culture.

Student newspapers, with an even more limited budget and staff than local and national publications, do not go unaffected by these financial concerns.

On Wednesday, student newspapers across the country made their voices heard. From Wyoming to Florida, these papers published editorials leaving no doubt about how important student newspapers are to their campuses.

The movement, named #SaveStudentNewsrooms, was sparked by the editors at the University of Florida’s student paper, the Alligator. A Twitter thread by the publication’s editor-inchief, Melissa Gomez, states that the publication received a seven percent pay cut, but is still “lucky.”

Some schools are not so lucky.

One startling example comes from Southern Methodist University.

The school’s student newspaper, the Daily Campus, will have to re-affiliate itself with the university due to the financial stress on the paper — without independence from the university or other bodies, the strength and purpose of journalism is weakened.

Independence allows journalists to report from a more unbiased, balanced standpoint and have a stronger ability to hold those in power accountable. Independence gives journalists the ability to serve the public in a better way by looking for all angles on an issue and ensuring all voices are heard without feeling restricted by another organization.

The Daily Lobo stands in solidarity with student papers across the world, while using this occasion to remind the University of New Mexico and Albuquerque communities the service this paper provides.

Though our staff consists of students, we still hold ourselves to the same ethical standards that every professional newspaper abides by.

We seek to report the truth, while remaining transparent about our process and always obtaining information in an ethical manner.

Maintaining those standards allows us not only to report on issues

Former EPA admin gives talk at UNM

By Danielle Prokop @ProkopDani The glasses came off and on and no punches were pulled.

Gina McCarthy, the former administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency under President Barack Obama, gave an animated speech to community members at the University of New Mexico School of Law about the concerns of climate change Wednesday evening.

The focus of the speech was reframing how climate change and policy is discussed.

“Stop talking about the health of the planet. The planet could give two — sorry I’ll be polite — the planet doesn’t care if the climate is changing, it remains a planet. We should care, because people might not be living on the planet,” McCarthy said while gesticulating.

Almost 200 people watched the speech from the rows of white chairs set up in the law school’s lobby. The speech was punctuated with bouts of laughter from the audience as she flung jokes from the podium.

However, McCarthy also touched on the more serious concerns of climate change, including air pollution, drought and fears of not producing enough food.

One issue that came up was repeal of the EPA Clean Power Plan, proposed by Scott Pruitt, the current EPA administrator under President Trump. Apple, Google and other companies have publicly condemned the repeal of the policy, a legacy of Obama’s to curb carbon emissions.

Former Obama-Era EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy talks with students after her speech at the UNM law school on April 25, 2018.

Tabling at the event was Tere Baca, an intern with Environment New Mexico. She was representing a coalition of environmental groups collecting public comments on the repeal.

“The period for public comment closes (Thursday) evening, so this is really urgent and timely,” Baca said.

The Clean Power Plan was expected to cut power sector emissions by 32 percent by 2030. Power plants fueled by coal and natural gas are responsible for one-third of the United States’ carbon dioxide emissions, according to the EPA. McCarthy spoke for just over a half hour and dedicated another half hour to answering questions from the audience.

The first question from the audience was about McCarthy’s position on fracking.

She said that inexpensive natural gas changed the economic dynamic of coal and oil based power plants

Helen Maestas, deputy director for Constituent Services at Mayor Tim Keller’s office, also spoke at the event. Maestas said since Keller took office, he has been speeding up the processing of the unsolved sexual assault cases and rape kits at the Albuquerque Police Department.

She added that this week, the mayor’s office started the sexual assault information line (1-866-613-SAIL) where people can speak with professional staff and also track the progress of their rape kits.

There were also many organizations from the community that spoke and set up tables at Survivors Stand Wednesday evening.

Some of these organizations included Young Women United, Indigenous Women Rising, the Albuquerque Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners collaborative and Truman Health Services.

“Students need to know that they have a voice,” SARJ Vice President Isis Lopez said. “There are holistic, intersectional ways to deal with sexual assault. It doesn’t have to come from UNM. There’s so many amazing community partners just down the street to help them.”

Videos of the Survivors Stand event can be accessed on the SARJ Facebook page.

affecting the University, but to do so knowing it was done correctly.

The roughly 65 staff members at the Daily Lobo include more than just reporters.

The staff includes designers, copy editors, advertising representatives, comic artists, photographers, videographers, delivery, accounting and puzzle creators — all with the single goal of creating the best newspaper possible for the UNM community.

Many are unaware that the Daily Lobo is independent from UNM, receiving most of its funding through advertising. Having this independence means we can report on various UNM bodies, such as the Board of Regents and the Associated Students of UNM, without fear of retaliation through the cutting of finances or resources — ultimately censoring the publication in a negative way.

While this allows us complete autonomy in terms of reporting, it can be a hin-

drance to our finances.

In 2015, the Daily Lobo changed its printing schedule from running a print issue every weekday to cutting down to two print issues per week — on Monday and Thursday. With ad revenues dropping, a daily model would be impossible to maintain.

In spite of financial difficulties, the Lobo continues to report a variety of UNM issues. Just this year, the publication has covered indecent exposures in Zimmerman Library that security did not report, March for Our Lives in Albuquerque, the athletics department’s struggle with its self-induced debt, DACA recipients, Albuquerque Rapid Transit construction, lectures, fine arts projects, sporting event previews/recaps, student/faculty/staff achievements and much, much more.

Perhaps most importantly, student newspapers allow their newsrooms to gain experience that could only otherwise be

and helped push through clean air regulations, but the industry has to “grow up just a little bit” and adhere to cleaner standards.

“I think that states need to have regulations that are stringent on fracking,” McCarthy said. “You have the same obligations as any other industry standards have. You don’t contaminate the groundwater (and) you don’t release methane, especially when it’s your product.”

Fracking has been a controversial issue in New Mexico. Literature from the industry describes fracking as a method to extract oil and natural gas. The process includes drilling outward from a wellhead injecting liquid at high pressures to force fissures into rocks and boreholes.

According to the New Mexico Legislature, oil and gas typically provides the state around $2 billion in direct revenues.

Advocates say the process is more

environmentally friendly as opposed to traditional vertical drilling into the ground. Critics say the the method is known to create earthquakes, and the EPA reported in 2014 that fracking affects drinking water.

McCarthy also directed her comments to the University students in the audience, saying that college campuses are the future of developing sustainably.

“You are our conscience. You tell us what you need. You are the people we should be working for,” she said.

Some of the attendees included second-year law students of the Natural Resources Journal, a publication that collects policy writings on energy and the environment.

Jimmy Grieco is a co-lead citation editor at the journal and said the speech helped emphasize how important writing about environmental policy is at the University level.

“It’s critical now because of the timeliness of the environmental challenges occurring right now,” Grieco said. “It’s important to do this work at universities, because we are able to bridge the gap between the professionals who write about it and the students who read about it.”

McCarthy ended her speech with a challenge to the audience not to just talk about climate change, but to take action by voting and advocating.

“Pull up your big-girl pants, your big-boy pants or your gender-neutral pants and do something — we’ll all be better for it,” she said.

earned through time at a larger publication.

This is only exacerbated in New Mexico, where opportunities for aspiring journalists can be far and few between when compared to other states.

As members of the editorial board, we can all say that, although we have learned a lot about journalism through consuming media and taking classes, the most valuable experiences we gained have been here, at the Daily Lobo. The independent student newspaper has given us the opportunity to showcase our work as well as teach and learn from others while fostering a tight-knit, educated community.

In the immediate future, though, student newspapers serve the role of not only keeping the University’s various powers in check, but also covering the University community in ways other media outlets simply cannot.

The Albuquerque Journal, KOB, KOAT and other local news services cannot devote 100 percent of their resources to cover UNM — we can.

Autism is no laughing matter

By Kyle Land @kyleoftheland There’s been no shortage of jokes directed toward Facebook’s CEO and co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg, in the wake of the Facebook scandal involving Cambridge Analytica.

While most jokes are tame enough, some jokes are far more pointed and lacking in taste, especially regarding Zuckerberg himself.

A frustrating example of this appears in a recent sketch in “Saturday Night Live.”

On SNL’s Weekend Update, a mock interview between Zuckerberg (played by Alex Moffat) and Colin Jost first portrays the CEO exhibiting some strange behaviors.

For example, Zuckerberg starts the conversation by telling himself aloud to make eye contact and then saying, “2...3...look away.”

Other jokes reference his facial expressions — “Unlike my facial expression, Facebook is going to change” — and his childlike responses to serious questions — “No backsies,” he says when asked if users can now delete their data.

The common thread tying these jokes together is not Facebook or Zuckerberg — they are all symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, according to the National Autism Association and are overly exaggerated for comedic effect.

To be clear, I don’t know whether or not Zuckerberg is actually autistic. However, that’s not the point. The point is that whether or not he is autistic, SNL planted those labels on him, which use the symptoms that

many autistic people struggle with as a source of laughter.

What is even more sickening is how this SNL sketch falls in line with nearly every other awful portrayal of autistic people in television. Truly, it is rare to find a character on the spectrum that is not a genius, emotionless robot who finds themself incapable of understanding the complexity of human interaction.

If these inaccurate portrayals weren’t bad enough, they are played up for laughs from other characters, as well as the audience.

As the saying goes, “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.”

Such distinctions are rarely seen in the media, though.

Characters with autistic characteristics have been featured in some of television’s most popular shows, such as Sheldon in “The Big Bang Theory.”

Sheldon is a case study for autistic people in the media — he doesn’t understand jokes or sarcasm, he obsesses over unusual topics like trains, he is ritualistic in his daily schedule, etc. Again, it is never stated that he has autism, but the creators of the show have no problem sticking these clearly autistic traits on him.

Some may argue that featuring autistic characters on television, no matter how exaggerated they may be, can only be a good thing, because visibility leads to a discussion, which then leads to acceptance.

While this could potentially be true, the way other characters respond to these autistic traits prevent that from ever happening.

In an early episode in the series, Penny, another main character, sits

audience can sympathize with him.

Of course, there are a number of shows, such as “Community” and “Bones,” that portray characters with autistic traits in more nuanced and realistic ways. However, these shows still fail to do one very important thing — say out loud that these characters have autism spectrum disorder.

There are those who argue that attaching this disorder to these individuals will only isolate them more, making them targets for future bullying.

But labeling disorders does matter. It puts a name to a face, a light on an issue and an identity to afflictions faced by millions of people.

Shows like “The Big Bang Theory” merely use these symptoms as props for their comedy, like a banana peel or a mischievous dog. And SNL helps

the situation even less.

As someone on the autism spectrum, it actually is wonderful to see more people on the spectrum portrayed in cinema. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry every time I saw the “Imitation Game.”

And yes, there are shows out there that actually label certain characters as autistic. However, at the same time, “The Big Bang Theory” awaits its 12th season and SNL mocks a disorder without any sort of justifiable reason — and unlike “Parenthood,” they’re both still on TV.

in Sheldon’s “spot” on the couch.

Like many individuals on the spectrum, Sheldon is very particular about how certain things are arranged and insists that he can only sit on that part of the couch He proceeds to go into a longwinded rant about why only he can sit on that spot on the couch, citing factors such as wind gusts and angle of the head relative to the television to justify his claim.

Instead of seeing that their friend is clearly distressed and accommodating him, the other characters mock and ridicule him. At one point, Leonard, Sheldon’s roommate, yells at him to sit down, which makes Sheldon extremely uncomfortable — laugh tracks persist throughout this entire scene.

Imagine watching such a scene without a laugh track, in real life.

All of a sudden, the sight of someone being coerced into doing something that makes them upset becomes far less hilarious. It actually feels quite sad.

Sheldon’s autistic traits do not serve to enlighten the audience about those who struggle with these socially debilitating symptoms. Instead, it converts them into jokes, where the rest of the characters and the audience are encourage to point and laugh — more specifically, to bully.

Portraying a certain type of character does not instantly create acceptance. The context that character is put in matters and greatly dictates the perception the audience gains of that character and whatever specific traits they may hold.

“The Big Bang Theory” fails to put Sheldon in a context where the

LETTERS Just when you thought “Russiagate” couldn’t get sillier Editor, April 20 is cannabis culture’s high holiday, and the Democratic National Committee celebrated it with fervor this year: blaze up, get silly, file a bizarre lawsuit accusing the Russian government, Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and transparency activist group WikiLeaks of conspiring to steal an election.

The suit confirms that after more than a year, special counsel Robert Mueller still hasn’t amassed the evidence required for a successful criminal prosecution, requiring proof “beyond a reasonable doubt.” A civil suit lowers that bar to “a preponderance of the evidence.”

But even that’s a long shot. The only credible evidence produced so far implicates

No human being is illegal Editor, I strongly support full human rights for all immigrants.

only the Trump campaign, not the other two defendants, and only to the same extent that it likewise implicates the Clinton campaign.

That is, both campaigns admittedly tried to tap “Kremlin-connected” sources (defined as “anyone who’s ever been in Moscow”) for dirt on their opponents. Donald Trump, Jr. met with a Russian lawyer in hopes of getting the goods on Hillary Clinton. The Clinton campaign commissioned a British former spy to work his Russian regime sources for salacious tidbits on Trump, the elder.

Central to the suit’s claims is alleged “Russian hacking” of the DNC’s servers, followed by an embarrassing release of emails showing, among other things, attempts by DNC to rig the 2016 primaries in favor of Clinton and against her main opponent, Bernie Sanders. Problems with the case: First, the DNC refused to turn those servers over to the FBI for forensic analysis, and has murdered millions of people. The U.S. government routinely and deliberately sides with the filthy rich to rob and oppress the poor. Many immigrants would prefer to stay in their native countries if living conditions there greatly improved.

The U.S. invaded Mexico in 1848 and murdered many people. The U.S. stole from Mexico most of what is now the U.S. Southwest, including New Mexico. Later, U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant said the Mexican-American War was “one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger nation against a weaker nation.”

instead hiring a friendly cybersecurity firm to announce the results it wanted announced.

Secondly, metadata in the “hacked” files released by “Guccifer 2.0” indicates transfer speeds consistent with an internal source at DNC copying the files directly to a USB drive rather than an external hacker accessing the servers.

Thirdly, while the subsequent announcement by the U.S. intelligence community of its conclusions claims methods and IP addresses “consistent with” Russian state hackers, those methods and IP addresses are also “consistent with” every other type of hacker on Earth.

Fourthly, and probably decisively, the DNC makes the mistake of dragging WikiLeaks into the matter. The next time WikiLeaks gets caught making a false statement will be the first time.

On the other hand, the leaked emails themselves demonstrate that the DNC lies constantly and without hesitation. When it comes to credibility, No human being is illegal! All immigrants are our sisters and brothers. I write in memory of Jose — an immigrant from Mexico, with whom I was in love years ago.

I thank and compliment those six members of the city council who supported the April 16 resolution to commit Albuquerque to be a welcoming, safe place for refugees and undocumented immigrants.

Don Schrader

WikiLeaks is the gold standard, and the DNC is something one tries to wipe off the bottom of one’s shoe before entering a respectable household. WikiLeaks says no, its source was neither the Russian government nor any other state party.

This lawsuit is simply the latest version of what the DNC has been doing since 2016: trying to fob blame for its loss of an election it should have won in a walk off onto someone, anyone, but itself and its insanely poor choice of presidential nominee.

It’s very a risky move. In civil suits “discovery” runs in both directions. We’re about to learn a lot more about how the Democratic Party really works behind the scenes.

Institute for Medieval Studies holds lecture on sacred objects

By Ariel Lutnesky @ArielLutnesky The Institute for Medieval Studies hosted its 33rd Annual Spring Lecture Series this week.

Speakers came from many different universities around the world to talk about elements pertaining to this year’s topic: “Sacred Objects and Places of the Middle Ages,” according to Timothy Graham, director of the Institute for Medieval Studies and regents’ professor at the University of New Mexico.

“We’re...examining that concept of sacred objects and places through four different religious and cultural traditions: the Western European Latin Christian tradition, the Greek Orthodox tradition, the Hebrew tradition and the Islamic tradition,” Graham said. “The individual lectures are going

to be talking about particular revered books within those traditions, buildings or locations.”

The speakers included Bernard Meehan from Trinity College in Dublin, Jennifer Pruitt from the University of Wisconsin, Janina Traxler from Manchester University, Annemarie Weyl Carr from Southern Methodist University and Adam Cohen from the University of Toronto.

Cohen said he thinks his talk went very well.

“I discussed some aspects of the sacred as expressed visually in several illuminated Hebrew manuscripts of the Middle Ages,” Cohen said. “I emphasized how these books communicated the ideas of the makers/users that their actions as Jews in the Middle Ages were part of a timeless continuum of past, present and future.

In specific, I focused on a handful of

books, including the Sarajevo Haggadah, the Birds Head Haggadah and the Kennicott Bible.”

Meehan gave two lectures in this series — his talk on Monday was about the Book of Kells, “the most famous medieval manuscript in the world,” according to the lecture series program. “(Meehan) did one thing after he got his Ph.D., which is that he was the keeper of manuscripts at Trinity College Dublin...and that meant that it was his responsibility to look after the Book of Kells, because it’s in that library,” Graham said. “This is a priceless object.”

The poster for the lecture series featured a picture of a page out of the Book of Kells, Graham said.

“It’s a book that was made around the year 800 by Irish monks who were probably in a monastery just off the west coast of Scotland

on the island of Iona,” Graham said.

“It’s got all kinds of magnificent artwork and penwork in it.”

The second lecture Meehan will give happens Thursday — “Irish Manuscripts before 800 A.D.” — which was followed by Carr’s “Watching the Birth of a Holy Object: The Icon of the Kykkotissa on Cyprus.”

“I’ll be looking at the emergence and development of the cult of a great miracle-working icon of the Virgin Mary on the island of Cyprus,” Carr said. “The icon has been in the Monastery of Kykkos on Cyprus for all of its known life and is nicknamed after the monastery as the Kykkotissa: the Lady of Kykkos.”

Carr added that no one really knows how the icon gained its veneration as a miracle worker, which will be something that she explores in her talk. She said she looks forward

UNM student invents plastic bag compressor

By Hazel Simmons @hazsimmons Mostafa Peysokhan, an international student studying optical science and engineering at the University of New Mexico, is not willing to stand by and watch plastic bags pollute waters and harm marine wildlife.

In February of this year, Peysokhan came up with an idea that could potentially change the impact of plastic bags on our world.

He designed a device that can compress up to 50 plastic bags and, by using heat and pressure, will turn them into a small compact disk.

“The idea just came to me, and I went home and got a rough design done of it in one night,” Peysokhan said.

An estimated 100 million tons of plastic bags are in the ocean, 1,500 pounds of which come from

one average American family each year, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.

“The majority of the problem is the fact that the volume to surface ratio of a plastic bag is really high, so I thought compressing them would be the greatest solution,” Peysokhan said.

He said he designed a device that is both compact and cheap, making it accessible for people to use in their homes.

This April, Peysokhan submitted his idea to the Rainforest Student Pitch Competition. In this competition, each contestant is given 90 seconds to impress the judges with their invention, he said. He landed among nine other finalists and was later compensated for his innovative idea.

“It is such a special opportunity for international students. It gives us the chance to speak in front of a lot of people. It gave me a lot of confidence,” he said.

Lobo Rainforest, the dorms located in Downtown Albuquerque, provided resources to assist with this idea.

“This invention would not be possible without UNM, (and) Lobo Rainforest is a really good place for innovation. They were all so supportive of me,” Peysokhan said.

Powered by STC.NM, formerly known as the Science and Technology Cooperation at UNM, the new dorms and the Rainforest Student Pitch Competition were started with a vision of innovation and economic development.

“All of the initiatives in the Lobo Rainforest...are designed to stimulate a robust environment of innovation and entrepreneurial activity,” said Lisa Kuuttila, the CEO of STC.NM. “We foster the innovation through programming, but it also occurs from ‘collisions’ as people interact in the building informally.”

Stanly Schug, a close friend of Peysokhan and his family, said,

“They truly are such great representatives of their culture — they are smart and kind. Something really needs to be done about plastic bags and he (Peysokhan) is really trying to make it happen.”

Students win second place in business ethics competition

By Catherine Stringam @cathey_stringam Earlier this month, a team of students from the University of New Mexico Anderson School of Management won second place at the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Case Competition in Denver, Colorado.

The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative collegiate program was established in 2009. It includes 10 different business schools from across New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

According to the Daniels Fund website, the purpose of the ethics

initiative is to “deliver principlebased ethics education and reinforce the value of ethical business and personal conduct.”

In the case competition, students are given a company facing major ethical and/or structural issues. The students must act as a consulting firm and give recommendations based on the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Principles.

These principles include integrity, trust, accountability, transparency, fairness, respect, viability and the rule of law, according to the website.

Student Sofia Lucero was part of the UNM team. She said, the

case given to the UNM team was the pseudo-company Healthy Kids Playground Equipment. The students had a month to prepare their case and then traveled to Denver to present to a panel of judges.

After giving their recommendations, students were given the second part of the case in which something went wrong, she said. The team had to work together to analyze problems, present solutions and respond to questions from the judging panel.

Lucero was one of six students who traveled to Denver to represent the Anderson School of Man-

agement. Her teammates included John Algermissen, Kelly Allred, Colin MacCosbe, Anand Macherla and Julianne Sanchez. They were led by Professors John Reed and Harry Van Buren.

Macherla said the competition challenges students to consider the complications of ethical business leadership and equips them to deal with some of these issues, should they encounter them in their future business careers.

Lucero said UNM hosts a similar ethics competition in the Fall semester, which helped the team practice for the regional one in the Spring.

She added that the competition was nerve-racking for her, but all the team’s preparation helped her feel a little more confident.

“I was nervous and stressed going into the competition,” Lucero said. “But it was so fulfilling, and I enjoyed every second of it.”

The UNM team placed second overall in the case competition, beating out eight other schools and coming up just short of the University of Utah. Lucero said the team was overjoyed by how well they did, adding that even placing

in the competition is a very prestigious accomplishment.

According to Lucero, placing was not the only good part of the competition. She said she developed great relationships with

her teammates and professors along the way.

“Nothing will beat how proud Dr. Van Buren looked when our name was announced,” Lucero said.

She added that the majority of

this year’s team was seniors, so next year will be a rebuilding year for the UNM team, but Lucero says she is looking forward to it and she wants to keep competing year after year.

“It will be interesting to see how

we grow,” Lucero said. “I’m excited to welcome new team members and have them hopefully love it as much as I do.”

Movie Review

“Final Portrait” is an intellectual treat

By Timber Mabes @timbermabes Released on March 23, “Final Portrait” tells the story of artist Alberto Giacometti as he paints a portrait of his old friend, James Lord. Sitting for the painting was only supposed to last Lord a single day, but the process slowly turned into three weeks.

The film was adapted from the 1965 memoir Lord authored, detailing his experience and interactions with the pessimistic and selfish artist Giacometti. Lord’s memoir is titled “A Giacometti Portrait.”

Like the memoir, the film is set

in Paris, France in 1964 and follows Lord’s perspectives and everchanging feelings of Giacometti’s lifestyle, thought process and work.

As one could imagine, Lord, who is an American critic and writer, was strongly inconvenienced by sitting for a portrait for three weeks, and his feelings for Giacometti changed greatly throughout the process.

Does Lord really consider Giacometti an old friend? Is Giacometti a respectable artist? Is he just crazy and mean? Is Giacometti wasting Lord’s precious time for a sub-par painting?

These are all questions Lord finds himself asking throughout their time together.

The strong fluctuation of Lord’s emotions and the chaotic mess of Giacometti’s life made for a film that called me to question my own relationships and evaluate how I view and treat other people.

The film also called me to look at the purpose I have for my life. It was intellectual and inspirational and made me call my daily actions into perspective.

Giacometti is a very messy artist who lives a life that is far from normal and has a mind that works in a way I would consider far from average. The movie called me to evaluate if I am living my life in a normal way and if the way I live my life today is worth the outcome.

The film was both written and directed by the well-known actor Stanley Tucci and received an R rating for its use of adult language, sexual language and nudity.

Giacometti was played by Academy Award-winning actor Geoffrey Rush, who has also received a Golden Globe and Australian Film Institute Award for his work.

Lord was played by Armie Hammer, who is best known for his position as the title character in the 2013 film “The Lone Ranger.”

Overall, the two men did an amazing job portraying the developing and rocky relationship between artist and critic, and Stanley Tucci did

an incredible job at making a seemingly average story breathtaking.

Not only does the film provide the audience with a new outlook on art and the artistic process, but also on the mind of the late artist Giacometti and the life he lived.

I would suggest viewing “The Final Portrait” to anyone who is in the mood for a movie that allows them to question their own experiences.

The film was most definitely worth the price of a ticket.

Guest Column

BioBlog — Can ant robots help humans go to space?

By Maria Oroyan

Editor's Note: This piece was originally published online in the UNM BioBlog on March 16, 2018, written by Maria Oroyan.

This is part of our project to help connect the Daily Lobo audience to more members of our community.

Imagine it’s a rainy day and you step into a relatively deep puddle.

You’re moving along at a brisk pace, minding your own business, when something goes squish beneath your foot. Not knowing what exactly could make the kind of squish you just now experienced, you look down curiously at a clump of hundreds of fire ants clinging together in the water, using their tiny little bodies to stay afloat.

Putting aside all of your fears of insects, you think with relative wonder, “How fascinating!”

Then you further think in confusion, “But why is this so fascinating?”

You’re not the only one to ponder this question. Researchers worldwide are studying the behavior of ants, and the above scenario is just

one example of an interesting application that ants have to our mechanical world: when hundreds of ants cling together — such as in the presence of water to stay afloat — they begin to act collectively like a fluid. This collective, swarm behavior is one of the many reasons ants are the subject of current research in engineering, advanced technology and robotics.

Here, at the University of New Mexico, members of the Moses Biological Computation Lab, led by Principal Investigator Melanie E. Moses, Ph.D. study the swarm behavior of ants and even cells within our immune system. The primary goal is to build efficient robot swarms that mimic the natural and collective organization of large insect societies. Humayra Tasnim is a Ph.D. student working in Moses’ lab to study the intersection of biology, statistics and robotics.

“I mainly do statistical analysis and mathematical modeling on the biology side,” Tasnim said and further explained how a quantity measurement called mutual information applies to T cells within our immune system. Mutual information is the measure of mutual dependence between two random variables, and observing how

T cells interact in this sense could help us understand and further develop the capabilities of simple robots within a swarm.

The Moses Lab primarily focuses on the behavior of insect societies to complete complex tasks using peer-to-peer interactions, especially in ants. Matthew Fricke, a Ph.D. student in the group studying computer science at UNM, describes it as being a decentralized model.

“There’s no leader in the system, there’s no top-down hierarchy,” Fricke explained.

The questions the lab group is asking include, he further added, “How do T cells solve problems collectively within the immune system? How do you coordinate that many cells (which are essentially billions of cells) into finding a pathogen without the system getting so clogged up?”

These are the fascinating questions that engineers and computer scientists studying swarm intelligence challenge — how do we mimic the peer-to-peer, simple relationships between hundreds of simple characters such as those in ant societies and essentially make them work in our robotic systems and algorithms?

How is this technology being used to send us to space?

UNM organizes a nationwide competition called the NASA Swarmathon, funded by the NASA Minority University Research Program and hosted in collaboration with 24 other institutions. The program is designed to encourage students to collaborate in teams and design algorithms that could one day be used in NASA’s future missions to Mars. Swarm robotics is especially relevant in this domain of research when considering how to stockpile iced water and other resources before sending out humans to the nearby planet, and the algorithms and mechanical robots used are both inspired by ants.

So the next time you see an ant colony and decide to squish it, or accidentally do so...remember how much those little critters are helping out in human engineering, robotic designing and going to outer space.

Prof lectures on abundant universe Big Brothers

Big Sisters holds bowling fundraiser

By Annie Edwards @annie_ce18

On Tuesday night, Patricia Henning, Ph.D. of the University of New Mexico’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, spoke about solar systems, stars and other elements of the universe, while also touching on her own research.

She gave a lecture titled “Our Abundant Universe” as part of the New Mexico Philharmonic’s series, “Discovering Abundance.”

Held on the third floor of Hodgin Hall, Alexis Corbin, operations coordinator and personnel manager of the New Mexico Philharmonic, introduced the lecture.

Regarding the series, Corbin said, “We hope to create the idea of the whole community coming together around a topic and really addressing these big ideas together, making those connections — it all just widens our community.”

“Discovering Abundance” provided the opportunity for attendees to “view a broad topic through many lenses and from many angles,” Corbin said in her opening remarks.

Before Henning began her lecture, Corbin introduced a surprise performance by two members of the New Mexico Ballet Company as a visual approach to understanding abundance.

Following the performance, Henning began her presentation.

“Tonight’s lecture does not assume any astronomy background,” Henning said.

Her first slide, projected on two screens behind her, was titled “Your Cosmic Address.”

“Not only are you in the universe, but I’m going to argue the universe is in you,” Henning said.

Among other topics, she spoke about other solar systems and about the recently launched Transiting

Exoplanet Survey Satellite. She also discussed color variation in stars and their life cycles.

“You are made of the abundance of the stars,” Henning said later in the lecture.

Henning then spoke about her own work, which revolves around discovering new galaxies. Her research targets the dark spaces that can be seen in many photographs of galaxies, including the milky way.

She said she and her fellow researchers use radio telescopes to discover planetary bodies behind the dark material that optical telescopes can’t see. Henning has worked using the Parkes telescope in Australia with collaborators among others, and is currently using the Arecibo radio telescope in in Puerto Rico.

“What we’re doing is discovering galaxies that nobody’s seen before.

You can’t see them in the optical, in the other words in the wavelengths that your eyes work at. You need to use radio telescopes. And those radio telescopes are able to map out galaxies that are hidden, that you

can’t see in any other way. We can see them in three dimensions, how they line up with other structures we know about — we can figure out how they’re pulling the Milky Way around. So it really gives you a sense of what the cosmos around you is like — the whole map of the universe in all of the directions around you,” Henning said.

Kevin McKeown, who contributes to the Albuquerque Journal’s Sky Watch, was in attendance. He has attended other talks given by Henning in the past, he said.

“This was more directed toward the general public,” McKeown said.

“It was really great.”

Henning concluded the event by encouraging the audience to go to the UNM Campus Observatory, which is open to the public on clear Friday nights during the school year.

Big Brothers Big Sisters will be hosting the 35th Annual Bowl For Kid’s Sake this Saturday at Isleta Fun Connection.

Each year, the University of New Mexico works in partnership to help put on Big Brothers Big Sister’s largest annual fundraiser, said Meredith Chapman-Doborski, the development associate of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The event will start at 9 a.m. and continue until 9 p.m. Each team will have a two-hour slot to bowl, Chapman-Doborski said.

Teams can register online at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kid’s Sake website.

Each team can consist of five people, and Big Brothers Big Sisters has set the goal for each team to raise $625, she said.

“This year our goal is to raise $102,500. We are currently 80 percent (of ) the way there to our goal,” Chapman-Doborski said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors students in the community. Often these students are disadvantaged and come from low socioeconomic families. The mentors provide support for individuals between ages six through 18, she said.

“The goal is to help the kids get through life. It is academic skills and life skills...The idea is to be there for the kid when they most need it,” Chapman-Doborski said, adding that the mentorship programs foster resilience and create meaningful, long-lasting friendships.

All of the money raised at Bowl

for Kid’s Sake will go directly to these mentorship programs, she said. The cost to organize and run the event has been covered by local businesses. This means every penny raised will go directly to the programs, she said.

The University is involved in recruitment for Bowl For Kid’s Sake. Big Brothers Big Sisters completes a significant amount of recruitment at UNM, Chapman-Dobroski said. Each year, Greek life is involved, along with other on campus groups.

Mark Reynolds has been a mentor at Big Brothers Big Sisters for two years. This year, he became a board member and is a team captain for one of the bowling teams. Reynolds has been working at UNM for the past 15 years and is the associate director for IT Voice Communications.

He is currently mentoring a student at South Valley Academy.

Donating to Bowl For Kid’s Sake allows Big Brothers Big Sisters to continue to support, encourage and care for children in our community, he said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters empowers youth in the community, and the money raised by teams helps Big Brothers Big Sisters continue to make a difference in students’ lives, Reynolds said.
