‘Eclectic’ student magazine to launch
BOSQUE FIRE
by Rebecca Gonzales news@dailylobo.com
Juan Labreche / @LabrecheMode / Daily Lobo A member of the New Mexico State Forestry Division monitors smoldering brush after an afternoon bosque fire burned about three and a half acres of bosque and a small bit of private land in the South Valley directly south of Rio Bravo. Heath Weekooty, incident commander at the Bureau of Indian Affairs and captain of the Southern Pueblos Agency, said the fire started when a mattress ignited due to an unextinguished warming fire in a transient camp Monday at around 2 p.m.
Contrary to what the name suggests, “Bound” is a publication in which students are free to say what they want. Senior Jordan Unverzagt is the founder and editor-in-chief of the publication. For her honors thesis in journalism, Unverzagt created a student organization and designed her own independent study course, dedicated to producing, promoting, and editing the publication, with the help of the communication and journalism department. After she graduates next month, she plans to work in the SUB and continue to supervise the magazine, which will be published once per semester. Unverzagt said that Bound is meant to be a “forum for anything,” and that she has encouraged students to submit anything from essays to doodles they draw in class.

UNM committed to ‘proactive’ security by J.R. Oppenheim
assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim Last week’s bombing at the Boston Marathon does not necessarily force UNM to re-examine its security protocols for sports and other public events, but officials said it does reinforce the importance of security, and could lead to reviews of current policies. Three people died and more than 180 were injured when two bombs exploded during the April 15 Boston Marathon, one of the largest and most well-known running events in the country. The explosions and ensuing manhunt for suspects garnered national attention. While UNM does not host events on that scale, UNM Associate Athletics Director Tim Cass said the bombing demonstrates how vital security is for Lobo Athletics and other public events. “I think this is an opportunity to review things. I don’t think it’s an opportunity for us to panic or change,” he said. “I think we’ve been proactive over the years in managing our different events.” Mike Haggerty, UNM’s assistant athletics director for events management, would not discuss specific details about the

University’s tactical procedures in the interest of preserving safety. However, he said those procedures are already reviewed on a regular basis. For football, officials review them before every game; for basketball, every couple of games. For Lobo football and basketball games, which draw the largest crowds, patrons are inspected for weapons and contraband before they enter the game. On a per-game average, 22,299 patrons attended football games and 14,996 attended men’s basketball games during this school year. “Being a university, there is a lot of pressure from the public for the way we search fans for the way they enter The Pit and the football stadium,” Haggerty said. “They’re thinking we’re trying to stop water bottles and soda pop from coming in. But we’re actually doing it for their safety.” UNMPD officer Tim Stump said his department is in charge of security for events, and works in conjunction with the Athletics Department. UNM’s contractual security provider JLS Security & Investigations Inc., and the Albuquerque Police Department are also on hand at events, Cass said. Other agencies. such as the Bernalillo County Sheriff, New

Athletics officials said the bombings at the Boston Marathon last week could inspire UNM to review its safety policies for sporting events. Mexico State Police, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security are involved in planning as well, Haggerty said. “It’s always evolving, but they take precursory measures to make sure,” Stump said. “Ever since 9/11, we’re always trying to make sure we’re on top of this stuff. We’re always trying to taking preventative measures in
every event.” Stump said UNM events are safe for patrons. According to information provided by UNMPD, between January 2012 and April 2013, the department made two arrests at University Stadium. So far in 2013, the department has made one arrest, which was at The Pit during the state high school basketball championships.

Stump said many incidents at sporting events involve intoxication, and Cass added that fan-on-fan conflicts also arise. Haggerty said security checks for suspicious packages before games. Security staffing numbers vary depending on the size of

Kent Kiehl grew up on the same street as convicted serial killer Ted Bundy, which sparked his interest in serial killers and psychopaths. “I always wondered why someone could do something like that,” Kiehl said. “When I started to study serial killers, psychopaths, individuals who commit those kinds of crimes, I decided to make a career out of trying to develop ways of preventing those things from happening.” Kiehl is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University, and works at the nonprofit Mind Research Network. Kiehl recently co-authored and published the article “Neuroprediction of future rearrest” in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’ online publication. By analyzing brain activity, he’s investigating

the possibility of whether one can predict the possibility of convicted felons becoming repeat offenders. The study continues to develop, but what he published shows it is possible to predict this, Kiehl said. The study focuses on activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a part of the brain that regulates decision-making skills and impulse control. Whereas traditional impulsivity tests measure brain activity based on observable changes in outward behavior and their relation to theory, Kiehl’s study uses an advanced MRI to scan brain activity directly. “Other measures are trying to understandwhat’shappeninginside your brain, but if you’re directly measuring what’s happening inside their head, you potentially have a better chance of understanding

what systems are conveying risks for reoffending,” he said. The study consisted of a sample of 96 male convicted felons. Each participated in tasks that measured impulsivity while an MRI scanner tracked their brain activity. After each subject was released from prison in 2007, researchers tracked police records for four years, looking for subjects that would become repeat offenders. The results of the study indicate that subjects with lower ACC activity indicated a higher rate of rearrest. Since the study was published, the Huffington Post and NPR wrote stories about Kiehl and his work. “Most people have been very interested — being able to predict who reoffends or who doesn’t, who to give bail, or who to send to prison or who not to, it’s one of the most
important things that our criminal justice system does and so the more accurately we can help those decision makers make good decisions, the better it is for everyone,” he said. Kiehl said he hopes his work can one day help predict and prevent future incidents of crime. “My laboratory uses a one-ofa-kind MRI system, to try to study prisoners who’ve done these type of things, the ones that are the most difficult to work with, and the goal is to try to develop better treatments for them,” he said. “We can hopefully prevent them with treatment that could start when they’re kids or teenagers to try to steer them off this trajectory of criminal behavior.”

She said some submissions she received include graffiti, restaurant reviews, music reviews and advice columns. She said she published almost every submission she received. Other publications on campus, such as Conceptions Southwest and Best Student Essays, are more selective. “(We) didn’t edit much of the content except for things like grammatical errors,” Unverzagt said. “We didn’t want to be too much of a filter. We want people to talk about what they’re doing. I don’t think we turned down anything unless the submission was late.” Bound’s release party is at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the SUB Atrium. The event is for the official release of the mini-mag and website UNMBound.com, which

Unverzagt said the publication accepts all types of submissions from UNM students, and about 60 students contributed the inaugural issue. Unverzagt said its components include an online magazine, which hosts every submission Bound receives, and a fold-out printed mini-mag comprised of photographs and teasers of the online pieces. Unverzagt said that following the release party, free print copies of the mini-mag will be distributed at high-traffic areas on campus such as the SUB, Zimmerman Library and Johnson Center.

Student media is critically important in that. If anyone is going to give students a chance to be published, it should be us (at the school).” Gibson and Unverzagt said they hope the product’s premiere on Wednesday garners attention

the crowd each sport draws, Cass said. Police officers are on-hand for football and basketball, as well as soccer, which Haggerty said is gaining fan interest. Haggerty would not disclose how many security and police officers are on hand, which again was in the interest of preserving security. For uniformed police officers, security, and first responders on scene, Haggerty said UNM paid $41,000 for last year’s home football game against Boise State. He said it usually costs more for games against New Mexico State, UNM’s in-state rival. Football games can be more complicated for security, not only because more fans attend, but tailgate parties are also involved, he said. “In that example, certainly we have a plan in place to monitor the parking lot,” Cass said. “I think security for anyone
hosting public events is of number one concern, the safety of your patrons.”

“Distribution is unlimited.” Since their first app teaching Cherokee came out in the iTunes store in 2009, Thornton says he and his wife have worked with 170 different tribes, representing 70 or 80 languages. For about $22,000 plus the cost of travel, company employees will fly out to a tribe, record native speakers, and program the language into a 500-word or phrase app in about four days. They also can incorporate traditional songs and historical photographs. While many tribes seem to be embracing the technology, the response wasn’t always enthusiastic. “When we started out, there was hesitance to use technology,” Thornton said. “Sometimes people said it was the wrong way to go, that we should go straight through elders.” The company’s next goal is to develop a video game that would require players to use a native language to survive in a virtual world. The first edition would be in Cherokee, which the Census Bureau estimates is spoken by about 12,000 people ages 5 and up. Language revitalization advocates say they applaud the new technology, but note it’s just one part of broader efforts that could include mentorship, classes and a community commitment to using tribal languages in daily life. “It can be a very powerful tool in helping revive or revitalize endangered languages,” said Inee Slaughter, executive director of the Indigenous Language Institute based in Santa Fe, N.M. “What we caution is that these are purely tools, and they do not substitute for a person’s willpower and discipline to study and learn the language.” Slaughter, whose organization holds seminars on tribal language education and researches best practices for teachers, said she’s witnessed a wave of interest in language renewal over the past two decades. “It’s gaining momentum very, very quickly,” Slaughter said of the movement. “It’s growing, and it’s very encouraging.” Experts point to the early- to mid-1970s as the effort’s start, and say it got a boost when the Native American Languages Act, passed in 1990, declared the U.S. was committed to ensuring the languages’ survival. Federal funding for revitalization projects was added in 1992, allowing tribes to apply for competitive grants.

Tribes turn to tech to save languages The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — In a windowless conference room in a Las Vegas casino, about three dozen people are swishing their fingers across iPads, trying out test versions of new apps and screening for glitches. But these are no Silicon Valley techies in town for one of the city’s massive electronics shows. Many are from far-flung American Indian reservations, and their high-tech devices are serving a decidedly old-school purpose: trying to save their languages from the brink of extinction. Experts say a growing number of tribes are trying to revitalize their languages, which in some cases are spoken by only a small handful of people. And increasingly, they’re enlisting technology in the effort. “We’re in a race against time,” said Lewis “Bleu” St. Cyr, 26, who attended the February workshop to scope out the possibility of developing a language learning app for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. “The goal is for younger kids to get interested.” Linguists estimate about 200 Native American languages are spoken in the U.S. and Canada, with another 100 already extinct. In the early 1990s, experts estimated only 11 percent of tribal languages were still being passed traditionally from parents to children. The bulk of the surviving languages were spoken only by tribal members who were middle-aged or older. Today, most tribes across the country are making some type of effort toward a language comeback, according to Leanne Hinton, a Berkeley linguistics professor and board member of the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival. Those efforts include everything from apprenticeship programs that pair a fluent elder with a student to immersion school programs. Many also incorporate technology such as YouTube videos of native speakers or Google Hangout video chats for live, long-distance conversations. Thornton Media is recognized as a leader in the tech side of indigenous language revitalization, developing translation devices, talking toys programmed in native languages and other tools over its 17-year lifespan. But Thornton says the biggest success has been custom apps for iPads and iPhones. “It’s the most flexible,” he said.
employees are not. According to UNM’s contract with JLS Security, the company pays employees roughly $14 per hour to work events. Those positions include ushers, ticket takers, entry control-point monitors, and parking and traffic staff. JLS Security also has a presence courtside and on the field. ASUNM President Caroline Muraida said she has not heard many complaints from students regarding security on campus and that during her one-year term she’s only heard positive things about security at the events. “It’s necessary to point at that we’re a University with school spirit. Students get riled up about our Lobos, whether it be the ski team or our basketball team,” she said. “It’s nice to know we have a strong presence there to protect us if anything goes awry.”

What does it cost per ton to recycle paper? What chemicals are used to recycle paper versus converting a tree to paper? Which is safer? Why is a kilowatt hour produced by solar so expensive — 2 to 3 times the cost — compared to that produced by natural gas or coal? How can that cost be equalized? What chemicals are used and released in the environment in the manufacturing of a solar panel versus an electricity-producing power plant for the same kilowatt hour of electric? How many windmills would have to be placed on campus to provide 10 percent of power usage? Because wind and solar are not constants, how do you justify the cost of dual power generation systems when wind/solar cost 2 to 3 times the cost per kilowatt hour of coal generation?” To join the conversation, go to DailyLobo.com

Editor’s note: Online readers responded to the letter “Green fund would aid campus sustainability,” published in the Daily Lobo on April 16. The letter was written by Jacob Wellman, Office of Sustainability coordinator and former student regent, in response to the article “ASUNM proposes ‘green fund,’” which was published in the Daily Lobo April 15. Wellman was one of the students who proposed that UNM President Robert Frank form a committee of various UNM representatives to develop a proposal to create a student-governed “green fund.”

Rapists are incorrigible, women must live in fear Editor’s note: This is in response to Anthony Damron’s letter “Victimization of women is systematic in rape culture,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo Editor, Damron, like your letter, SlutWalk promotes a paradigm whereby every male is inherently suspect. In contrast, effective prevention would require cognizance of injustices that have no recognizable solution or perpetrator, i.e., that women are generally more vulnerable than men, a physical reality that no amount of agitprop will change. Further indignation over a crime all decent people already oppose won’t dissuade someone who isn’t already dissuaded by the prospect of a decade behind bars. What will? Bear mace, perhaps. More realistically: basic precautions, like a buddy system and designated sober friends on a night out, or not letting someone you feel wary of buy you a drink. Does that place even one iota of responsibility on women? Of course, but that’s distinct from victim blaming, not least because we’re talking about people who are far less likely to be victimized in the first place if we agree to realign the conversation this way. If we take the SlutWalk message to its logical limit, even women’s self-defense classes are asking too much of women, unless women are doing the asking. What about male friends and relatives? I call discrimination. And your well-intended solidarity is condescending. Seriously, who still thinks that men are in full control of reproductive rights? Of the advertising industry? Women are full partners in the marketing of sexuality, theirs as well as men’s. And if I knocked up my girlfriend, I would have absolutely no say in whether a child sees daylight, nor would I expect to. So let’s readjust this discourse to present realities. The concept of innate guilt is primitive and beneath us both, and you don’t deserve to feel beholden to declaim yours or anybody else’s.
My letter contained none of your pronouncements regarding women’s rights, because they’re inarguable, not because I disagree with them. But there is a far more urgent issue at stake here: doing something practical to prevent rape, as opposed to merely talking. The bulk of your movement’s emphasis is on expressing moral opprobrium and stoking a sense of righteous victimhood. While those sentiments have their rightful places, in the case of SlutWalk, this approach is not only detrimental to prevention, it disempowers women. You say that the purpose of SlutWalk “is not to discuss who trash talks whom.” Actually, SlutWalk was initiated in Canada in 2011 in reaction to a Toronto police spokesman who, when asked what women could do to prevent rape, uttered the horridly obtuse admonishment: “Don’t dress like sluts.” So from its inception, SlutWalk has been heavily focused on who is talking trash about whom — an entirely relevant issue in this context. Yet the objection you level against my comments is that I pointed out the female role in denigrating women’s fashion choices. This is highly revealing — no pun intended — and of a piece with your claim that I “understood the message (of SlutWalk) yet looked for a way to denounce (my) part” in rape culture. I’m actually denying that I have any role in it. Aaron Cress UNM student
False accusations typical for anti-Muslim media Editor, Hats off to you for having presented a seriously underreported side effect cruelly imposed on innocent bystanders of bombings, such as the one in Boston. Thus the false aspersion cast on student Salah Eddin Barhoum by the now backpedaling American media is but the tip of the iceberg of frigid hatred of brown-skinned Muslims in America, even of those of us who may look “Muslim” through
the narrowed blinders of outright racists of the religious type. What Barhoum now faces for the rest of his life, given the irrevocable memory of the Internet, is not just damaging to his reputation as a top-notch athlete — his very life will likely remain in danger. It is therefore imperative that he be given round-the-clock police protection for a good, long time, not just to make him feel more like a prisoner by telling him to make his social life even more constricted through some superficial decrease on access to his Facebook. Furthermore, the New York Post and CNN need to announce very publicly that he and his friend Yassine Zaime are the wrong men, not make excuses for their premature announcement just in order to be the first to scoop up an exclusive. Last but not least, one or more American lawyers need to sue any and all parties responsible for this discriminatory defamation on his behalf. This is the only way to send a message that will get the attention of a mainstream populace being fed false leads by the media. A similar paroxysm of paranoia already happened back when the media kept harping on the mere sighting of a “Middle-Eastern looking man” who just happened to be in the vicinity of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma right after it was bombed, only to discover in short order it was the doing of a white, homegrown terrorist. Arun Anand Ahuja UNM student

Toothless Bosnian Gypsy wins best actor in Berlin by Aida Cerkez

what’s happening on campus today...?
DAILY LOBO
POLJICE, Bosnia-Herzegovina — People in this Gypsy village say they will never forget the night they almost fell off their chairs two months ago. Did they really hear the elegant woman on TV correctly? Could she really be talking about their neighbor, the toothless man who passed his days selling scrap metal? The camera switched to a frightened-looking Nazif Mujic. Yes it was him. THEIR Nazif — who had just left Matt Damon and Jude Law in the dust to win the best actor award at the Berlin Film Festival. Suddenly, he was clambering onto the stage, receiving congratulations from the presenters and kissing his Silver Bear. The nearly illiterate 42-year-old Gypsy trembled as he squeezed out a few words of gratitude to “my best friend Danis Tanovic” — the director of “An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker,” in which Mujic played himself. Back home, old and young poured out of their shabby homes, chanting “Naze! Naze!” — Mujic’s nickname — dancing in the snow and making plans to roll a red carpet over the muddy road and roast a lamb in honor of their homegrown movie star when he returned home. “Everybody was glued to his TV that night,” said Ismet Beganovic. “But then everybody ran outside and started screaming in the middle of the night.” The movie is a fictionalized account of Mujic’s real-life struggle to save his wife’s life after she had a miscarriage. Doctors refused to treat her because the couple had neither health insurance nor the 500 euros demanded for the surgery. A newspaper article about their struggle drew Tanovic’s attention and inspired him to shoot the film. “I hope his life will change forever,” the Academy Award-winning director told reporters after Mujic’s stunning win. It certainly changed instantly. While the Berlin awards party dragged into the night, Mujic

The food was good, he remembers, and everybody was pretty and pleasant — except for one annoying guy who followed him around wherever he went. “I would step out to smoke a cigarette, he would come after me,” Mujic recalled. “I would go to the bathroom, he followed me again. Where ever I went, he went.” Convinced that the huge man was interested in his statuette, Mujic said he resolved that next time he went to the bathroom he would turn and say: “Here, take the damn Bear, but let me do my business in peace.” He didn’t need to. Festival organizers explained that the “stalker” was his personal bodyguard — and that all of the stars got one. Now, two months later, next to porcelain figurines of a roaring lion and a sitting dog, the Silver Bear statuette decorates a shelf in Mujic’s living room. Nazif still takes apart old cars and refrigerators in his front-yard to sell as scrap, but he also cruises Roma settlements and gives speeches on the importance of going to school. Mujic has received a thousand-euro donation from the municipality and a few piles of brick for a new house — reward for the glory he brought to
the community. Perhaps the biggest gift: a decent set of dentures, paid for by a Sarajevo butcher. They’ll be ready later this month. Would Mujic consider a career in movies? Yes, he said, “except in porn.” “It was a fairytale,” Mujic said, sipping his coffee and watching his 4-year-old daughter Sandra driving the Silver Bear — which she named “Teddy” — around the house in her plastic doll stroller. Mujic’s wife, Senada Alimanovic, watched the award ceremony on TV back at home, but finds the whole story about her movie-star husband less romantic. “What did Teddy really bring us?” she asked while holding the couple’s youngest child, an 8-month-old boy name Danis, after the director, in her lap. “The fridge is empty. I have never been rich and I do not need a fortune but just normal living conditions for my children,” she said. “Maybe less of a dump of a home.” “Slowly,” her husband replied. “When Danis sells the movie, he said we will get a share and we will move somewhere.” “He would never lie.”

Lincoln look-alikes converge for convention Abes, Mary Todds get together for speeches, a play by Mitch Stacy
The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — John Cooper’s obsession with being Abraham Lincoln began one score and five years ago. Its beginnings were humble. Tall, lean and bearded, the Ohio man already bore a passing resemblance to the Rail Splitter, or so he was told. One Halloween he donned a frock coat he found in his mother’s attic, and his wife fashioned a stovepipe hat out of cardboard. A little spray paint on his beard, and he was ready for trick or treat with the kids. He was so convincing that before long, he was invited to come to schools in costume around Presidents Day. Then people started paying him to show up at their events in character to talk
about the 16th president. The rest is history. But honestly, this is a huge weekend for the 62-year-old Cooper, who is helping to host a gathering of impersonators of the Great Emancipator in Columbus. The 19th annual convention of the Association of Lincoln Presenters has attracted around three dozen Abes in chin beards and full regalia, along with 30 or so Mary Todd Lincolns and various other Civil War-era figures, including Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. “I tell people I think we hold this convention just so we can run around in our costumes all weekend,” says Cooper, a retired Defense Department parts manager. In Columbus, the Lincoln impersonators will walk where he walked — and where he lay in state after he was assassinated in 1865. Lincoln gave speeches at the Ohio Statehouse in 1859 and 1861, and his casket rested in the

“I grew the beard, and I looked in the mirror and I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is my destiny. This is who I am!’” ~Robert Broski Abraham Lincoln impersonator On Friday morning, Jerry Payn, a Lincoln from Wooster, Ohio, stepped to the podium in the Ohio House chamber and delivered word-for-word the
speech given by Lincoln in the same room just before his inauguration in 1861. Payn, a 74-year-old retired junior high school science teacher, has been playing Lincoln since 1999 and does as many as 100 gigs a year. He says the key to being a great Lincoln is gaining in-depth knowledge of his life, speeches and writings. “When I first started, I’m ashamed to say I was one of the dumbest guys there ever was about Abraham Lincoln,” says Payn, whose wife, Marilyn, has become a Mary Todd Lincoln impersonator. “At this point, I can talk about anything about his whole life.” The Lincolns have a certain spring in their step this year, thanks to a wave of attention brought by the Steven Spielberg movie “Lincoln,” which earned an Oscar for Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of Honest Abe. Some of the impersonators say the excitement has led to more

work for them. They can fetch several hundred dollars and up for appearances. On Friday night, all the Lincolns planned to go to a high school in suburban Columbus to see a student production of “Our American Cousin,” the play Lincoln was watching when he was shot at Ford’s Theater in Washington on April 15, 1865. Organizers said the crack of a snare drum would mark the exact moment in the show when the shot was fired, and a student portraying Lincoln’s wife would add a scream for dramatic effect. One of the Abe impersonators in town for the convention, Robert Broski, 60, who lives near Los Angeles, looked so much like Lincoln — even without the whiskers — that he was persuaded to portray him in an independent film about five years ago. “I grew the beard, and I looked in the mirror and I said, ‘Oh, my

gosh, this is my destiny. This is who I am!’� says Broski, who works at a Home Depot. He has parlayed that into a couple of Lincoln gigs a month, including appearances in a few gags on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show. The Lincolns all seem to agree that one doesn’t really have to be blessed — or cursed, some might say — with a great physical resemblance to the president. The Abes in Columbus range from well under 6 feet tall to Lincoln’s actual height of 6-foot-4. Some are barrel-chested, some slight. There are gray beards and black beards, and one beardless Lincoln. The costumes vary greatly in extravagance. “We’re presenters. We’re not impersonators, necessarily,� Broski says. “You don’t have to look like Mr. Lincoln. But if you take a beard, a top hat and a frock coat and put it on, people instantly know who you are. What’s important is getting across his character, his honesty, his integrity.� Members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters visit a Civil War mural on their way to the Ohio Statehouse on April 12 in Columbus, Ohio. About three dozen Abraham Lincoln impersonators from around the U.S. convened in Columbus for their 19th annual convention to compare notes and costumes and tour some Aberelated historical sites.

UK nobles fuss over titles by Sylvia Hui
The Associated Press LONDON — Viscount Timothy Torrington’s story reads like a real-life version of “Downton Abbey,” the hit period drama about the family of an earl who has no direct heir to inherit his title. Like the fictional character Lord Grantham, the aristocrat has three daughters but no sons. In order for his title to live on in future generations, the 69-year-old has no choice but to pass it to a distant relative abroad, someone he has not even met. “It’s a sadness in life that my wife and I never had a son,” said the viscount, who lives with his wife in the countryside west of London. “But I suppose I would rather someone inherit it than have it dying out.” “Downton Abbey” may be set in the early 20th century and its characters may be fictional, but the effects of a centuries-old rule that puts boys before girls are very real to Torrington and hundreds of hereditary peers in modern Britain. It’s still a man’s world when it comes to inheritance among Britain’s peerage, an archaic system of feudal class and power. The titles — earls, viscounts, barons, marquesses and dukes — no longer indicate great wealth. But for many they’re still a mark of prestige and social status more impressive than anything money can buy. These days, holding a hereditary title comes with no stipend or property from the state. Most hereditary peerages are bestowed by royalty and can only be passed to sons not daughters — based on the rule of “male primogeniture” — a principle as old as the peerage system itself. If a peer dies with no son, the title will go to a male heir like a cousin or uncle, and if there is no
male heir to be found a title could become extinct. There are exceptions: Some women, like the late Baroness Margaret Thatcher, become “life peers” by the monarch’s appointment, not by inheritance. She cannot pass her title on to her offspring. Torrington’s title isn’t one of them. His eldest daughter, Hatta Wood, has just had a baby boy — but he, too, is locked out of inheriting the title because male primogeniture excludes the entire female line of the family tree. The nearest male heir is a distant cousin who lives in Toronto.
“Noble titles are more of an oddity now — there’s perhaps a fascination, but it’s a curiosity rather than something people look up to anymore.” ~James Gray anti-monarchy campaigner “It’s unfair to my son,” said Wood, 35. “When he was born, it suddenly felt like I could keep (the title) going down the family line … but it’s going to go to somebody else, a guy in Canada.” Wood admits that she values her father’s title for its “sentimental value more than anything else.” Most noble titles are now just that — a form of address, not necessarily tied to fortunes or estates. Some hereditary peers still
wield political influence in the House of Lords, but most were kicked out after reforms in 1999. Still, the tradition of bypassing women just because of their gender jars with current thinking — especially when even the monarchy is getting rid of sexism in the succession to the throne. That means that if Prince William and Kate have a girl first, she will become queen, and no younger brother will be able to jump the line and get ahead of her. Those changes have prompted many to ask: Why not take the reforms to the aristocrats as well? The short answer is that it is much easier said than done. Some conservatives fear change and tinkering with age-old tradition, and many argue that the rules involved are too complicated to reform. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said he was “sympathetic” to extending the royal reforms to titles, but the government has indicated it isn’t going to act soon to tackle the issue — not least because few Britons are likely to rally behind moves to preserve the nobility. James Gray, a campaigner for the anti-monarchy group Republic, concedes that the international success of “Downton Abbey” may signal a widespread fascination with the lives of blue bloods, but that doesn’t mean people at home admire or want to emulate a crusty upper class. He raised another point: Since monarchy and aristocracy are inherently unfair and discriminatory, some may see achieving gender equality in those institutions as redundant. “I think most people accept that hereditary power is wrong,” Gray said. “Noble titles are more of an oddity now — there’s perhaps a fascination, but it’s a curiosity rather than something people look up to anymore.”

‘The Menu’ serves up poetry, spoons by Graham Gentz
culture@dailylobo.com Do you ever feel like you’re the only one in the room not in on the joke? The opening night of “The Menu” was like stumbling into a party you weren’t invited to. Normally, Theatre X is filled with young and exuberant local theater people, those making a conscious effort to support budding artistic pursuits. But this opening night, UNM’s Experimental Theatre was packed with muckety-mucks in such an array of fancy dress that it seemed more like the Adobe Theater or Albuquerque Little Theatre — two playhouses with a rabid if not older and more conservative fan base. After a thunderous ovation for the show, which involved everyone in the room standing except a thin, older gentleman in the very front and this dreadfully confused reviewer, it became assuredly clear that my jig was up. I try to go into plays as ignorant as possible of what I’m going to see, so I can have a fresh perspective and no expectations — sort of like avoiding movie trailers. In this case, it sort of backfired. This, of course, didn’t preclude post-viewing research and investigation — almost like this is in a newspaper or something. As it turns out, the gentleman in the very front was the playwright, Jim Linnell, a longtime and now retiring theater professor at UNM and founder of the Words Afire!
Festival. The genteel geriatric gala was intended for him. So how fared this farewell? “The Menu” is essentially recited poetry, supplemented with a bit of dance for good measure. The poetry comes from Linnell and is performed by Tricklock Company, which has about a dozen or so performers moving about, playing with the set and taking turns at the slam mic. The various monologues are connected by common themes about life and love and perseverance and memory, but it’s best not to focus too much on these. It’s abstract for a play, and poetry can do what it damn well pleases. The set looks like a modest, folksy café. Small, old, round tables topped with eating utensils — these become quite important later — and chairs litter the stage. The performers have an antiquated look to them as well, very much like American frontier settlers of yore: The women wear clean, long, white dresses, and the men, in matching vests but without shoes, exhibit an earthtoned Tom Sawyer fraternity. Bookending the performance are scratchy vinyl recordings of a man, who I can only assume is Linnell, explaining why life is a big metaphor for table settings. This explains the Americanatype diner setting as well as why the program credits are on a single, wide piece of paper. Casey Mráz, Tricklock’s music director, took up residence in the back corner and drifted banjo tones over it all.

New Mexico Daily Lobo
David Torres / Courtesy photo Performers act out a scene from The Menu, produced by the Tricklock Company as part of the UNM Words Afire! Festival. The show was a dramatic reading of the poetry of James Linnell, a UNM professor who is retiring after 38 years in the College of Fine Arts. Many of the performances are a bit on the yell-y side. “I’M EXPRESSING MY EMOTIONS!” they often seemed to bellow, as you try to discern why they’re so upset. The performers also seem to have a deep fascination with spoons: touching them, caressing them or flailing them around in unison. Maybe they all just really like the battle cry of the Tick. While the presentation is largely the job of an amorphous chorus, there are many small details to notice and enjoy. Hannah Kauffmann and Alex Knight take center stage as the format allows, acting as a nucleus for the similar poems and images orated by the others. One of their subtle, periodic-movement sets
expresses a cyclical loving and breaking of two people together. Hayley Mervini and Alexandra Piña-Ceja share moments of avidity. Why Diana Delgado keeps pouring water, I have no idea. However, like the spoons, it doesn’t really need a reason. “The Menu” is short, clocking in at around an hour. With this and the lack of continuity, it’s effectively there and gone before you know it. It would be beneficial, perhaps, to see the work without a crowd, specifically for the presence of the playwright, to see it for its own merits and judge whether the context for the piece is the end-all. No one really wants to be spoon-fed.

Mr. Calvert will review important court cases that bear on this area of public education and will expose the fallacies and misrepresentations concerning First Amendment law that influence educational policy all across America. He also exposes the crucial error made by Judge John Jones III in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District in which Judge Jones found that it was a violation of the First Amendment to criticize evolutionary theory and that intelligent design is religion, not science.
