Nonviolent protesters met with riot police at Turning Point USA-sponsored event

By Maddie Pukite @maddogpukite

Protesters gathered outside the Student Union Building at the University of New Mexico on Oct. 20 to protest “How Men Can Fight For Life,” a speaking event held jointly between UNM char tered conservative political orga nization Turning Point USA and UNM organization Students for Life. The event featured speaker Ian Haworth, a conservative and anti-abortion personality. Pro testers were met by New Mexico State Police in riot gear, despite the rally remaining nonviolent throughout the night.

Many different groups — in cluding the Burque Autonomous Brown Berets, legal observ ers and street medics — were present to ensure safety among protesters. This protest followed a similar one that took place on Sept. 19 where hundreds of students gathered outside the SUB to protest another Turning Point-sponsored event featuring speaker Tomi Lahren whereupon multiple students of color were denied entry.

Earlier in the afternoon on Oct. 20, the SUB announced on Instagram that they would close at 5 p.m., with access restricted to the North Hall for student or see Protesters page 2

2022 Ballot Breakdown: bond measures and amendments

By Maddie Pukite @maddogpukite

Early voting in the state of New Mexico is now in full swing ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8. This year, the ballot includes three state bonds and three constitutional amendments that voters will decide whether to approve or not approve.

Bond Measures:

There are three state bond measures on this year’s ballot. These are projects that are only funded if approved, with the fund ing coming through the sale of public bonds. The bonds would then be paid for by the state us ing property tax dollars; they will not mature until 10 years after their issuance.

Question 1: Senior Citizens Facilities Bond

The first bond question on the ballot seeks to provide $24.5 million in funding to improve 72 different senior citizen centers throughout the state. Voting to approve the bond would provide this funding whereas voting no would reject the sale of the bonds to fund the im provements.

Question 2: Public Libraries Bond

The next bond question deals with the approval of $19.2 mil lion toward funding tribal librar ies ($1 million), public libraries ($6 million), public school libraries ($6 million) and higher education librar ies ($6 million) across the state. The funding would include purchasing things like books, electronics, furni ture and various equipment.

A vote to approve would see the funding’s approval whereas a no would prohibit funding.

On Thursday, Oct. 20th, non violent protesters gathered outside the Student Union Building at The University of New Mexico to pro test the Turning Point USA and Students for Life-sponsored speak ing event “How Men Can Fight

Fight For Life.” Riot police affiliated with the New Mexico State Police were eventually called in despite the gathering remaining nonvio lent. Protesters faced physical force from police that resulted in bruising for some.

Julie Bettencourt said they were bruised in the eye by the riot police while protesting that night. Anthony Wallace, acting president of Afford

able Student Housing UNM, also told the Daily Lobo that multiple students present that night reported bruising to him and shared an image of bruis ing on the Instagram account he runs for ASHUNM.

“I was creating a big human bar rier, walking between the majority of the protesters and the riot police to create a buffer zone for folks. I got see Injured page 2

ganizations and meetings and entrance for the event. This pro hibited protesters from entering the building.

During the protest, students associated with Turning Point’s UNM chapter stood at the door of the SUB taking pictures of the protesters and were met with chants including “you’re on the wrong side” from those gathered at the event.

The protest on Oct. 20, simi larly to the one on Sept. 19, remained nonviolent. While students did move a barricade, there were no reported injuries or damages to the University’s property. Numerous students at the protest voiced confusion

about the need for such a large police presence. Once police in riot gear showed up, protest ers chanted, “I don’t see no riot here, what’s with all the riot gear?” The riot police pushed the crowd, which had decreased in size throughout the event, back from the SUB and toward Popejoy Hall.

Sanaa Crayton, a UNM stu dent, said that allowing speakers like Haworth on campus shows the UNM’s administration’s true values, despite the inclusive im age they project.

Miriam Barba, another stu dent present at the protest, said she has seen the effects banning abortions can have, as she comes

from a school in Texas — a state which has banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy. Barba also spoke about the lengths to which police had gone to pro tect students associated with Turning Point.

Protestors left the area around 8:40 p.m. when the State Police in riot gear retreated, letting stu dents back in front of the sub. Eventually, all the police outside of the SUB retreated inside the building shortly after.

Injured from page 1 shoved by one of the riot officers. I currently have a bruise under my eye,” Bettencourt said.

The Daily Lobo spoke to 10 protest ers who were present at the protest, with all of them saying that they dis agreed with the riot police’s presence.

“It was uncomfortable because I don’t think our protesting war rants that much extra security, especially for them — in riot gear, bringing guns — I thought that was very unwarranted and unneces sary. Not only a waste of resources, but the crowd wasn’t violent, so I didn’t really understand why,” Su nandita Santhanam, a student and protester, said.

When asked who requested the presence of the riot police and when, UNM spokesperson Cinnamon Blair said it was a joint decision made after protesters shook the barricades.

“The decision to engage the ERT (Emergency Response Team) was made by the joint command of UNM Police Department and NM State

Police in response to the actions of multiple individuals aggressively moving the barricades and failing to disperse when requested after the event had concluded,” Blair wrote in a statement to the Daily Lobo Bettencourt and Devin Martain, another student present that night, reported not being able to hear calls to disperse. Martain added that the use of riot police forced protesters to stay present.

“The only reason that protesters felt obligated to stay was because the police brought out the riot po lice and they did that show of force … You really have to say, ‘We see this as an escalation. We see this for what it is, and you can’t do that. You can’t do that on our campus with our tu ition dollars against our own student body’,” Martain said.

Several protesters said that the intention behind shaking the barri cade was to cause commotion, but that no property or individuals were harmed that night as a result.

“We just moved the rails to show our power. But the rails are nonhu man,” Leandro Pita, a student and protester, said.

The close proximity of the riot police to the student residence halls caused concern for Ellison Watson, another student present at the pro test. Walton also mentioned that allowing the event to take place on campus was contradictory to UNM’s values.

“I think it directly contradicts what the University stands for, not just (in) the sense of diversity, equity and inclusion. I think it also directly opposes our education because this can provide falsehoods and misin formation … I also think the amount of police presence at a mostly minority-serving campus is really in appropriate,” Walton said.

For Pita, the Turning Point event was an example of white privi lege and utilizing it to try to frame ones’ self as the victim while simulta neously inviting a speaker to campus

who has publicly made misogynistic, transphobic and racist statements.

“Have a conservative speaker: that’s fine. But a conservative speak er that talks badly about a thick black woman like Lizzo because she is, quote-unquote, ‘fat and looks happy?’ … It is an insult to Afri can American Student Services,” Pita said.

Several protesters called for the University to address a distinction between freedom of speech and hate speech.

“I feel like UNM as a campus — even if it has both right-wing and left-wing students who carry opposite ends of the political spectrum — they need to recognize the fine line between what is hate speech and what is just freedom of speech,” Santhanam said.

The following Saturday, Oct. 22, at 2:45 a.m., a Lobo Alert was sent out saying that nine individuals were at tacked and robbed near the Student Residence Center apartments on

campus. Wallace said this was strik ing given the amount of police force used to protect the SUB on Thursday.

“Y’all have the money to bring riot police for a peaceful protest to beat up students, but you don’t have money for passive patrols … There’s no justice. Or there’s no justice for UNM students,“ Wallace said.

Several of the protesters voiced concerns over UNM’s priorities for safety and who the University is protecting.

“The fact that they would bring someone like that onto campus to speak at an event is, again, it’s promot ing the fact that we should just let you know hate speech go on, and present itself or be under the disguise of free dom of speech,” Santhanam said.

Question 3: Public Education Bond

The third bond question deals with $215.9 million to fund im provements for different higher education institutions, special pub lic schools and tribal schools in the state. This includes $45 million to the University of New Mexico. The bill breaks down this funding for several projects at UNM includ ing a new Center for Collaborative Art and Technology, a children’s psychiatric center for the Health Sciences Center and improvements to several of the branch campuses.

Voting to approve the bond would see the allocation of funds whereas a no vote would not.

Constitutional Amendments:

Three constitutional amend ments have been approved by a majority in each house and are now up to a popular vote on the ballot.

Amendment 1: Land Grant Per manent Fund Distribution for Early Childhood Education

This amendment would give funds to support early childhood

education (40%) and public school (60%) through the Land Grant Per manent Fund (Permanent School Fund) — revenue from nonrenew able natural resources like oil. The amendment would put 1.25% of the five-year average of market values from the fund toward those areas.

The legislative finance commit tee estimated $126.9 million for early childhood education and $84.6 million for public educa tion could be anticipated for the 2023 fiscal year. Part of the fund is currently being allocated toward 21 different schools and projects, including UNM.

Amendment 2: Authorizing Funds for Residential Services In frastructure Amendment

This amendment would al low the state legislature to fund infrastructure for residential use, including electricity, gas, internet and water. Current ly, the legislative branch is not able to do so because of the “anti-donation” clause which re stricts aiding individual people, associations and private or pub lic corporations; the amendment

would create an exception.

Amendment 3: Appointed Judge Elections Amendment

If approved, this amend ment would alter the election process for judges: judges who were appointed by the judges’ nominating commission and the governor rather than elect ed during a midterm vacancy would be up for election dur ing the first election following their appointment as opposed to waiting until the second election as it currently is.

Louie’s Lounge, located on the bottom level of the Student Union Building on UNM main campus, will serve as a vot ing site until Nov. 8. Election results will begin to become avail able after polls close at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8.

Local artist flirts with youth, violence and life in the Southwest through cartoon

By Spenser Willden @spenserwillden

The violence of local artist Beed allo’s work is often offset by her charming illustrative style. In her art, adolescents and animals bleed from wounds both seen and unseen: knives, whips, fire and worms. Her work, with its clean primary colors and sharp geometric style, adorns the walls of the Lapis Room art gallery in Old Town, establishing it as part of the contemporary Southwestern move ment, yet bold and original of its own.

Beedallo grew up surrounded by art with numerous Southwestern-

style artisans on her mother’s side.

She inherited a love for illustration from her mother, an illustrator her self, who taught her about art from a young age. Her primary interest, though, was cartoons.

“I always wanted to be a cartoonist. I would watch the ‘Fairly OddParents’ and try to draw the characters. I had some cousins who really liked ‘Drag on Ball Z.’ So, even though I didn’t watch it, I would try to copy the way they would do it. It was all in an effort to be a cartoonist,” Beedallo said.

While she became interested in comic books and graphic novels as a teenager, Beedallo’s ultimate goal was always moving animation. Recently,

however, she’s learned to appreciate comics as a medium of their own.

“(I’ve been) trying to look at comic books as something that’s not just what you’re making before you make the cartoon (or) because you can’t make a cartoon. (I’ve been focusing on) making comic books and taking advantage of the medium. So I’m happy with both,” Beedallo said.

Beedallo, who received her bach elor’s in fine arts for illustration from the Southwest University of Art in 2018, creates her larger works of art, outside of comics, with epoxy, ply wood and house paint, though for smaller pieces she often uses crayon

REVIEW: Taylor Swift’s “Midnights (3am Edition)” is a gorgeous compilation of nighttime thoughts

By Elizabeth Secor @esecor2003

At midnight on Oct. 21, Taylor Swift released her new 13-track album entitled “Midnights.” Shortly after, a “special very chaotic surprise,” as Swift called it, of seven more songs — titled the “3 am Tracks” — were then unsurprisingly released at 3 a.m. Together, the two come to form ‘Midnights: 3am Edition,” a col lection of 20 new songs that are a truly spectacular set of stories representing those nights when thoughts leave you staring at the ceiling.

Anyone looking for the “old Taylor” will find artifacts of her old albums throughout this new one, but “Midnights” truly repre sents how Swift has grown as an artist and a person.

Swift has gone through hell from the media and public per ception of her character, and as a result, the last few years have shown several reinventions of her music from “Reputation” to “Red (Taylor’s Version).” How ever, with the releases of “Folk lore,” “Evermore” and now this album, a steady trend has come

from her music, showing a growth from the jilted love songs of old to a new artist who uses her music to tell stories through shattering lyrics.

While I have been a fan of Swift all my life. “Folklore” and “Ev ermore” were my top favorites, however, they now share the title with “Midnights: 3am Edition.”

The 20 new songs might not beat out my love for “Folklore,” but they prove Taylor Swift’s talent lies not only in her singing but also in her writing.

One of the more impressive feats of the album is how these new songs perfectly encapsu late the feelings of lying awake at night, feeling lonely and over thinking; then, the next second thinking about all you love. Really any thought that has kept you up at night feels like it’s represented in these songs.

The way the songs are ordered feels like a story in itself, follow ing the trainwreck of thoughts someone can swing between in one sleepless night. The story behind this album is Swift’s own sleepless nights where thoughts kept her awake. As a result, the album feels like a look into her own life. Any listener can find at

the very least one song they re late to, if not multiple, especially when they stop and let the lyrics wash over them.

A good representation of this is my personal top three songs. For once, it wasn’t hard to pick fa vorites because of how strongly I resonated with these three, which speaks even more to how anyone can find a song or songs they re late to at an emotional level. Even for the songs that weren’t in my top list, I was able to pick out lyrics that resonated with me.

For my favorites, though, the lyrics jumped and yelled, “This is you!” Like in “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” with the lyric, “every thing you lose is a step you take;” “Anti-hero” with the line, “when my depression works the grave yard shift, all of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room” and “Dear Reader” with the lyric “never take advice from someone who’s falling apart.”

The songs on “Midnights: 3am Edition” aren’t party tracks like “Shake It Off,” but instead are more like audiobooks that you curl up with under a blan ket with some tea and just soak them in. Upon first listening, it doesn’t sound like a ground

breaking album (although it did break the Spotify record for most streamed in a single day in less than 24 hours). Still, if a listener takes the time to hear the lyrics, they’ll understand the album’s magnificence.

REVIEW: Cate Blanchett is ‘Tár’-iffic in ‘Tár’

By John Scott

@JScott050901

It wouldn’t be a true awards season without talking about the latest film starring Cate Blanchett. In the case of 2022, this happens to be writer-director Todd Field’s “Tár.” After receiving a strong criti cal reaction at the Venice Film

Festival earlier this year, it finally saw a release here in Albuquerque on Friday, Oct. 21, allowing us commonfolk to dig in to the masterpiece that Field has crafted.

This is a film best approached with as little information as pos sible, so I will keep my summary extremely broad: it centers on world-renowned composer Lydia

Tár (Blanchett) who slowly be comes embroiled in controversy during final preparations for a career-setting performance. This summary is extraordinari ly reductive, but part of what made “Tár” most striking is how shocking it is, due in large part to how little I knew about it going in.

Another one of the most strik

ing things about “Tár” is the title. Derived from the last name of the fictional composer the film centers around, one might deduce that the film is actually a biopic based on a real composer that, given the lapse in popularity classical music has seen in recent years, is unknown to the vast majority of audiences. It’s a subtle hint to the somewhat unique approach the film takes

in making Tár feel like a real per son and establishing her as a personality that could exist within our world.

There are two main elements that accomplish this feat. The first is Blanchett’s work in the title role. Of course, if you sit down to watch any film with her in it, you’re prob ably in for a treat; she is easily one

Artist from page 3 and paper.

“My whole thing is I want to make it as cheap as possible,” Beedallo said.

Her childhood in Los Chavez — a farming town between Los Lunas and Belen — influences much of her work, including recurring images and themes of childhood, animal slaugh ter and death.

“There’s a lot of recurring themes in my work like the slaughter of ani mals, because we grew up around farming stuff. Being around death — like recent death — was always a part of my life. And also being an angry little girl. It’s kind of channeling what was around me as a child that I need

Blanchett from page 4 of the best actors working today. And, in typical Blanchett fashion, “Tár” finds her once again surpass ing the already high bar she has set for herself. The way in which she inhabits and breathes life into the character of Tár is truly incredible. Her complete immersion into Tár’s world completely immerses the audience as well.

The second element is the level of detail in the film. Field, whose last directorial effort was 2006’s “Little Children,” may as well have spent the last 16 years conducting research for “Tár”. Every detail — from Tár’s man

to revisit as an adult,” Beedallo said.

These themes of girlhood are re flected in her use of color, inspired by the primary colors on vintage toys as well as her own difficulties with vision.

“Seeing bright colors that are im mediately readable and large is really important for me because that’s what my eyes are most at tracted to. The primary colors are basically something that a child would be able to see very easily,” Beedallo said.

Though much of her work con cerns themes of childhood and reflection, she also works on commission, including previous col

nerisms to the vinyl collection we see her mulling over early in the film — feels painstakingly thought out in a way other films could only dream of. This convic tion to placing the world of the film within the real world gives very little degree of separation be tween fact and fiction in a highly engrossing manner.

This precision carries over into Field’s screenplay and even more so his directing. This is a slow film and it may try the patience of many, but the pacing is deliber ate and intentional — palpably so. Each scene is felt rather than seen,

laborations with bands like Karen and Self-Neglect.

“We started working with Beed allo in the spring of this year … (She) had participated in this year’s (FunA-Day Project at FourteenFifteen Gallery) and we were all very in trigued by her work. For us, she essentially stole the show, and I went back to look at her work sev eral times,” Self-Neglect wrote to the Daily Lobo

The band approached Beed allo with their new album “Miserable/Comfortable” and asked her for illustrations in her style based on her reaction to the album. The final product would become the

allowing the audience to engulf themselves within the world of the film. The slowness of it burns with a fiery tension as the film’s stakes grow progressively, with the plot practically begging Field to speed up. But he never gives in.

The film’s visuals help to aid in the dedication to realness. There’s a real modern slickness to the look of the film: the color palette is dull, yes, but it’s one of few films to make effective use of it. Blanchett’s Tár is often dressed in black and white clothes and surrounded by black and white set pieces, mak ing for many moments that feel as

album cover.

“Beedallo’s work is visceral yet soft and reminds me of that place in be tween daydreams as a child, the place where instinct and wonderment bub ble furiously together and evoke the fresh and naked power of symbols,” Self-Neglect wrote in their announce ment of the album.

Though her work reaches around the world through her collaborations with musical artists Pleasure and Be nee, based out of Australia and New Zealand respectively, Beedallo wants to one day expand even further out side of New Mexico.

“I do think that I have this sort of duty to stay here. At least partially,

if you’re watching a highly satu rated black-and-white film. The dull and drab colors keep the film grounded, even with a few creative embellishments on behalf of Field.

In my attempt to reveal as little as possible, I don’t want to speak too heavily on the plot of the film. That being said, it is another stand out element and, thus, I feel it must be spoken on. It resembles Scors ese’s “Raging Bull” in many ways, but its incorporation of many mod ern themes and ideas keep the film fresh. It’s certainly bound to start a discussion amongst those who watch it — “they’re just blue cur

I’d like to expand outward, but my work is contemporary Southwestern because it’s from here. If possible I’d like to move out, but if I’m staying here, then I’m staying here. I’m proud of the work I’ve done here. If I never branch out, then it’s not too big of a deal for me,” Beedallo said.

Beedallo’s work can be found on her Instagram, with work currently showing at the Lapis Room and A. Hurd Gallery. In May, she will open a new solo show at the Lapis Room.

tains,” anti-intellectuals beware.

Ultimately, “Tár” is one of the best, if not the best film to release this year: a nearly career-best per formance from Blanchett, masterful directing, awesome precision and gorgeously slick visuals all come together in a film that is sure to be imitated, but never outdone. To miss out on it would be to do your self a “Tár”-ibble misservice.

UNM football dominated by Fresno State 41-9 in homecoming game

By Thomas Bulger @ThomasBulger10

The University of New Mexico’s football team played the California State University, Fresno Bulldogs for their homecoming game and lost 41-9. The Lobos are now on a five-game losing streak with a 2-6 overall record and have yet to win a conference game. A win would have kept the dream of a bowl game alive for at least three more weeks, but now UNM will have to win their last four games in a row to end with a 6-6 record.

With the win, Fresno State now has a 2-1 record in conference play. They are tied for first in their division and will be competing for a spot at the Mountain West championship game.

In his second game as offensive coordinator, Heath Ridenour’s of fense was only able to put up 9 points from Luke Drzewiecki’s three field goals. Ridenour and the coaching staff opted to start quarterback Justin Holaday and in his press conference after the game, head coach Danny Gonzales confirmed he will be the quarterback moving forward.

The offense had a disappointing showing, but the defense was able to hold on for the first half only giving up 13 points. But with the offense not able to get anything going through

half of the football game was very competitive, I thought they played really hard … Three years ago, when I took this job, the challenge of fix ing this program was mighty — that has not changed. The sky is not falling in, we are not going back wards … We were competitive in the last four games up until tonight,” Gonzales said.

Looking toward the offseason, he commented on how it might be a struggle to keep some players on the roster.

“Here is going to be the biggest challenge, is getting them to stay here with the day of the transfer por tal and all those things. Some will have other opportunities. I think we have a really strong core of young kids and we’re going to continue. Then obviously trying to replace the ones you lose in recruiting, to give yourself a chance. We still have a lot of things going in the right direction,” Gonzales said.

The Lobos will go to Logan, Utah for their next game against Utah State University on Saturday, Nov. 5. The Lobos play their last home game of the season against San Diego State University on Friday, Nov. 18.

Ask the Editors: Hair-raisinghorror recommendations

By Editorial Staff

@DailyLobo

With the end of October comes the celebration of Halloween and, along with it, an endless amount of books, movies and games to select from for your spooky pleasure. Here, four Dai ly Lobo editors have compiled a list of some of their favorite terrifying titles sure to keep you up at night.

Spenser’s Pick: “The Wolf of Snow Hollow” (2020)

Equal parts horror and black com edy, Jim Cumming’s follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed “Thunder Road” concerns a hot-tempered po lice officer struggling to bring an end to a series of werewolf-related kill ings in his small town. The werewolf plot, however, is secondary to the of ficer’s personal struggles concerning questions of masculinity, authority and alcoholism.

What makes this movie work is the balance of the human and hor ror elements in the central character, played by Cummings. The officer is not likable, but he’s captured so viv idly that you can’t help but watch as he ruins his own life and works to get it all back. Though the script has some pacing issues and takes itself to places it doesn’t quite earn, the film itself is worth watching for Cumming’s performance and the magnificent special effects in the rendering of the titular wolf.

Zara’s Pick: Climax (2018)

Though not a horror movie per

Ask the editors graphic by Joseph McKee. se, Gaspar Noe’s “Climax” is guar anteed to make everybody at any given social function think a little less of you for putting it on — that is to say, the perfect horror movie, in the minds of some. Following a dance troupe rehearsing in an aban doned school after their sangria is mysteriously spiked with LSD, “Cli max” succeeds most in its noxious blend of Noe’s usual shocking ma terial paired with dizzying visuals and soundscape.

Much of the film is shot in just one take, making it feel all the more excruciating as we follow our main character Selma (played by an excep tional Sofia Boutella) through varying degrees of anguish and chaos. Allin-all, as far as hair-raising thrills go, “Climax” might be the perfect con

tender for your viewing displeasure.

Thomas’ Pick: Until Dawn (2015), Resident Evil: Biohazard (2017), Resident Evil Village (2021)

I don’t watch many horror movies, but I love horror video games. Until Dawn is a 2015 choose-your-ownadventure game where you juggle playing as eight different characters reunited at a ski lodge in the moun tains a year after two of their friends went missing at the lodge. With a kill er on the loose, you do your best to keep the group together — and keep everyone alive.

Another favorite of mine is the Resident Evil series. You can’t go wrong with most of the games in the series, but Resident Evil 7: Bio hazard and Resident Evil Village are

great entry points. In Biohazard, you play as Ethan Winters as he tries to find his missing wife in the swamps of Louisiana. You play as this same character in Resident Evil Village, set in Eastern Europe, where you face vampires, werewolves, creepy dolls and more while you try to make your way to a castle so that you might save your family.

John’s Pick: “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” (1989)

If you’re studying film, chances are you’ve heard this title thrown around by a number of annoy ing film bros in your introduction to screenwriting class in a desper ate attempt to separate themselves from your other classmates. In most cases, this would be enough reason

to completely disregard the film, but 1989’s “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” more than earns its spot on any cinephile’s watchlist this October.

I recommend going into this film knowing little. What you’ll find is some immaculate body hor ror, astonishing practical effects, over-the-top acting and a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Clocking in at only 1 hour and 17 minutes, the film makes for a quick watch at any Halloween party and is sure to leave your friends looking at you just a little bit different by the end.

With these recommendations in tow, we hope that you’ll spend less time on the horrifying task of mak ing a decision and more time just being scared.
