EPA seeks to expand increase at UNM regulations on methane By Rebecca Hobart @rjhobart

Reports of stalking made by residents living at UNM’s student housing increased by 33% from 2019 to 2020.
By Annya Loya @annyaloya Reports of stalking made by residents living at the University of New Mexico’s student housing increased by 33% last year, from 9 cases in 2019 to 12 cases in 2020, even though fewer students were
on campus. The rise takes place as stalking has become more virtual, experts said. “A lot of this is a virtual type of stalking where people are being threatened or followed through email communication, text messages or as far as a tracking device on someone's car,” said Matt Suazo, compliance and clery
coordinator of UNM’s Office of Compliance, Ethics and Equal Opportunity. “There’s this sense of anonymity where people are able to engage in this behavior where they’re not able to be identified or confronted.” The total number of stalk-

The Environmental Protection Agency released guidance for tightening methane regulations in early November, proposing a series of protections to mitigate the impacts of the oil and natural gas industry nationwide. This comes due to methane’s critical role in advancing the warming of the atmosphere, with emissions having the potential to trap about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the first 20 years following the initial emissions’ release. To cut down on the methane waste products associated with oil and gas drilling, the EPA seeks to codify actions that would force states to fix leaking production wells and eliminate venting of natural gas for new and existing sites, according to the agency. “The section of the Clean Air Act that the EPA is using — Sec-
tion 111D — requires the EPA to establish these emissions guidelines,” said Gabe Pacyniak, University of New Mexico associate professor of law. “States can choose to either set their own standards which meet the federal minimums or … the EPA has the authority to … set its own federal standards if a state declines to set acceptable standards.” The EPA’s announcement came in conjunction with the Global Methane Pledge initiative, a global pact aimed at reducing methane emissions by 30% by the year 2030. The pledge, which the White House said was the “single most effective strategy to reduce global warming,” was spearheaded by the United States and European Union and launched at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). “These regulations would significantly reduce methane emissions from oil and gas

Infrastructure bill makes investments in local climate, water infrastructure By Rebecca Hobart @rjhobart President Joe Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill was approved by the U.S. Congress in early November. The bipartisan bill, H.R. 3684, is climate-focused and uses a dynamic approach to dispersing funding, with money going to highways, wildfires, electric buses, water and other related projects. New Mexico’s apportionment of the bill is $3.7 billion, which seeks to invest in and address vulnerabilities of the state’s water, highway and bridge infrastructure, among other key ventures. University of New Mexico professor Claude Morelli, scholar of transportation planning and policy at UNM, said the largest cut of New Mexico’s share, $2.5
billion, is going toward highway development. $255 million in the infrastructure package will also address bridge needs across the state as super storms have undermined bridge foundations, causing the collapse of bridges and necessitating more maintenance, according to Morelli. Ben Warner, UNM assistant professor of geography and environmental studies, said the apportionment of funding in the bill is relatively climate-centric compared to past infrastructure bills, including a priority for addressing wildfires and expanding electric vehicle infrastructure. Morelli said intense floods are happening more often due to climate change and threats to road infrastructure are compounded by forest fires, like the 2011 Las

ing incidents reported, including students who don’t live on campus, went down from 45 to 21 last year when most classes were held remotely, according to the annual crime report from the UNM Police Department. LGBTQ Resource Center Director Frankie Flores recently dealt with a troublesome stalking incident in which a student was being stalked and threatened by their ex-partner. Flores said that they created a safety plan for the student, which involved them switching cars and temporarily staying away from home in order

to avoid the ex. It’s possible that more reports of stalking could be evidence that outreach efforts are working, according to Suazo, Flores and Caitlin Henke, program specialist at the UNM Women’s Resource Center. “I’d like to think people are more aware of the resources available to them, and they’re not afraid to come forward and file a complaint,” Suazo said. Suazo said his office and the resource centers on campus have made students more familiar with stalking and increased rec-
ognition of the problem. “A lot of interpersonal and gender violence is really underreported,” Henke said. “(If people are reporting it), it’s a sign that people trust the institution and trust that we’ll do something about it.” Last year, fewer than 3,000 students were living in UNM housing, according to UNM student housing. This academic year, there are more than 5,000. UNM students living in the dorms have reported more than 20 crimes, including one stalking report, since the start of the
semester, according to UNMPD’s daily crime logs. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to “report campus crime data, support victims of violence, and publicly outline the policies and procedures they have put into place to improve campus safety.” Students who have experienced stalking, sexual harassment or assault can make an official report to the Office of Compliance, Ethics and Equal Opportunity or UNMPD. Students can also seek confidential help at the LoboRespect
Advocacy Center, the Women’s Resource Center and the LGTBQ Resource Center, which are not required to report such incidents to campus authorities or the police. “The (Women’s Resource) center is really open to everyone, and people often think we don’t serve all the students but we do,” Henke said.

infrastructure,” Pacyniak said. Prior to the EPA’s intervention, state production of methane was largely an autonomous process, which upheld a loophole in how methane emissions were recorded, according to William Stanley, professor of political science at the UNM. Stanley said one way that this loophole was taken advantage of was through some producers measuring their emissions by individual tanks rather than by the collective conglomerate of tanks, which were consequently unlikely to exceed production thresholds. “If no one of those exceeds the threshold, they don’t have to take any action,” Stanley said. “Under the new rule, there would be a lowered threshold both for individual tanks within a complex, but also for the complex as a whole.” Natural gas, which is the key contributor to methane emissions, is oftentimes a natural byproduct of drilling for petroleum, according to Tim Korte, communications manager for the New Mexico Gas Company. “Methane is more potent ... in that it absorbs more infrared

Conchas Fire in the Jemez, which strip areas of their vegetation and capacity to withstand flooding. He said rainfall in New Mexico is infrequent but intense and abundant when it does fall. “The nature of our soils and the lack of vegetation means that there’s no way that the ground can absorb the rain,” Morelli said. On the federal level, Morelli said a lot of money has been spent on highways, which is partly due to the lack of publicly funded rail network or bikeway infrastructure resources, though this bill is novel in its commitment to funding electric vehicle charging stations and improving

radiation and, therefore, heats up the atmosphere more for the same concentration of methane relative to CO2,” Zachary Sharp, director of the UNM Center for Stable Isotopes, said. Sharp said there’s a large concentration of methane emissions visible by satellite above New Mexico’s Four Corners region due to continued emissions across production facilities in the San Juan Basin. “There’s some potential methane issues that will come up in the next coming decades that could be really devastating to the world’s climate,” Sharp said. Methane emissions and their 100-year warming potential is nearly thirtyfold that of carbon
dioxide, which has long been the focal point for many discussions of greenhouse gases, according to Stanley. “Even the best plans that these countries (at the COP26 summit) are offering are insufficient to reduce the (greenhouse gas) buildup in the atmosphere from having really catastrophic climate effects in this coming generation,” Sharp said. In the event of well leaks above the given threshold that would necessitate action, the EPA’s proposal suggests that the producer should then capture the gas and set up a flare to burn it off, according to Stanley. Pacyniak said combusting methane produces carbon dioxide, which is “a lot
less potent than methane.” “It’s proven to be very hard to reduce CO2 emissions because burning fossil fuels is so integral to so many aspects of our economies and methane emissions are widely viewed as kind of a lowhanging fruit in trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions overall,” Stanley said. Sharp said approximately 20% of the atmosphere’s warming could be attributed to methane, with the remainder largely accounting for carbon dioxide and some water vapor. Though methane makes up a smaller percentage of the atmosphere’s greenhouse gases, its ability to trap heat makes it a formidable threat for climate change, according to Sharp.
“We’re already seeing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage annually, from fires, floods and hurricanes, and it’s like ... at this point, (we need to) just sort of say, ‘Okay, let’s see how we can live with this problem,’” Sharp said. Stanley said the proposed regulations will be “a long process” and anticipates the actual regulations won’t be released until next year.
just having to kind of spend a lot more money to harden our infrastructure,” Morelli said. Morelli said if a bridge or highway, especially those in rural areas, was to get washed out, the roads would be out of service for some time and would really affect the people living in those areas. Catron County, a rural area in New Mexico, experienced the obsolescence of their roadway infrastructure firsthand due to severe flooding in 2013. “Water has been really decentralized so that the responsibility has been pushed almost entirely to communities in the water sector,” Warner said. “The state bears no responsibility, for
the most part, with respect to water infrastructure.” Warner said he expects, based on past decisions, that the funding will largely go toward “shovel-ready projects,” which are projects in which the planning and engineering has been completed. He said these types of projects often neglect poorer communities that don’t have the cash to complete that preliminary contract work. “The state government does not really play a role in the building and managing of water infrastructure,” Warner said. “It’s left to small towns’ communities that don’t have much administrative capacity to actu-
ally manage the building and maintenance of these systems and that’s pretty problematic.” Warner pointed to a grantfunded municipal water treatment plant initiative in Chama, New Mexico, which didn’t have adequate operators or the long-term resources to manage the plant and “broke down, failed and (the village) no longer had access to drinking water.”

1 public transportation. Warner said the question of who will maintain infrastructure developed during the next five years of this bill remains unknown. Of New Mexico’s apportionment, $355 million of the bill will go toward funding water infrastructure projects. Warner said he’s worried about the allocation of project money if small communities, who rely on volunteer staff to manage water, are not set up with adequate resources to manage and maintain the infrastructure. “We didn’t do anything about climate change 30 to 40 years ago when we really could’ve prevented things and now we’re

UNM boasts depth in win against Northern New Mexico By Matthew Salcido @baggyeyedguy
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team beat Northern New Mexico College 96-40 on Friday, Nov. 12 at The Pit. Though largely uncompetitive, the game gave UNM a chance to field some of its younger players. Guard Vianè Cumber started for the first time as a Lobo and shot 7-10 from the field, including 3-5 from three. Cumber scored 17 points — the most on the team — and showcased her ability to shoot while moving. Still, after the game, she said she feels most comfortable catching and shooting stationary. Cumber is the only UNM player from Albuquerque and was eager to start in The Pit. “I was really nervous, but I was really excited,” Cumber said. “I’ve been working. But overall I was just happy and proud that my family was there to see it, and that was really big for me.” Guard LaTascya Duff saw the court much sooner than expected after a non-basketball-related surgery in August that was expected to keep her off the court until conference play started. Duff played four minutes in the second quarter and made a three from an assist by her twin sister, LaTora. After the game, head coach Mike Bradbury said Duff hasn’t been able to practice very much and

that he and the team only found out that she would be able to play recently. Duff isn’t expected to play again for several more weeks to allow her more time to practice.

Freshman guards Mackenzie Curtis and Rebeka Renczes also saw their first minutes of the season. Curtis’ shot technique is smooth and one-motion, and she
scored 12 points. She is still largely only shooting off of kick-outs, signaling that she needs to improve her ability to shoot on the move and look up before trying to drive.
Renczes is not yet able to create her own shot and had three turnovers, which is not unusual for a freshman point guard but still in need of improvement. Center Nevaeh Parkinson was able to dominate the tiny Northern New Mexico, grabbing five offensive rebounds and shooting 3-4 from the free throw line to finish with 11 points. Kath van Bennekom continued her rebounding fervor from the game against Lamar University that happened a couple days before, grabbing three offensive boards in just over 12 minutes of play. Northern New Mexico did not play last season due to COVID-19 shutdowns and were 7-19 in the 2019-20 season. The Lady Eagles were able to make some tough shots in the first quarter to stay within 11 points but, ultimately, their lack of size and experience did not give them a good chance to succeed in this game. Bradbury said he was glad his bench got a chance to condition on the court; he wanted to rest his starters before the team’s next two games. UNM will play again at The Pit on Monday, Nov. 15 against Prairie View A&M University before heading to Houston to play the Cougars on Saturday, Nov. 20.

REVIEW
‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ exceeds soaring expectations By Emma Trevino @itsemmatr
Taylor Swift has been teasing the release of her second rerecorded album, “Red (Taylor’s Version)”, for months. On Nov. 12, the 30-song collection finally arrived, and it’s everything that I could’ve hoped for. What makes the album unique from the original are the exquisite “From the Vault” tracks — songs Swift had written for the first version of “Red” but ultimately had to chop when piecing together the final cut. Swift’s first rerecording venture was April 2021’s “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” and there were really only two vault tracks that I continue to listen to. However, “Red (Taylor’s Version)” has several vault tracks worthy of repeat-button notoriety, including the 10-minute version of fan favorite “All Too Well.” Swift has said time and again that “All Too Well” is her favorite song on “Red,” and now, the fans get to hear the uncut, full version as it was originally written. The extra five or so minutes add on gritty, cheeky lyrics
that elevate the song from really sad to truly devastating. The extra time also allows Swift to dive into story details further, with one especially heartbreaking lyric detailing the death of love: “And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?/ Just between us did the love affair maim you too?” The other “From the Vault” tracks touch on different kinds of heartbreak than “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault).” Two of them have been released previously through different avenues but have never been on any of Swift’s albums until now: “Ronan (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” and “Babe (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault).” “Ronan (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” tells the story of a young boy who died of cancer through the perspective of his bereaved mother. The song is based on the true story of Maya Thompson and her son Ronan, and since its original release as a charity single in 2012, “Ronan” has been dubbed by many fans as Swift’s saddest song. In the song, Swift takes a shaky breath seconds
after the bridge, and I can imagine the tears in her eyes. “Babe (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault),” on the other hand, lets us in on the intimate desperation of asking a lover how they could cheat. Even though “Babe” was written for “Red,” Swift ended up giving it to country duo Sugarland, who released it in 2018 with Swift as a background vocalist. Although the lyrics are almost identical, the songs are completely different. Sugarland’s lead vocalist Jennifer Nettles has a vibrant country twang, but Swift’s added echoes of “What about your promises, promises?” throughout the song turn it into a classic “Red” album track. The original 2012 album was a toss-up of songs I liked and didn’t like (looking at you, “Starlight”) and the rerecord didn’t change that. However, whether I’m a huge fan of every song on this album or not, one thing is consistently outstanding: Swift’s vocals. Swift was nine years younger when “Red” was released and, along with her ever-evolving sound, it’s not surprising her voice sounds different

and more mature on “Red (Taylor’s Version).” The amazing thing is that she was able to replace the shakiness on the high notes with powerful and supported vocals, and the re-created songs don’t lose the rawness and sincerity Swift is known for. Sure, the previously released songs might’ve gotten an extra snare or a new backing echo, but for the most part, production was re-created as close to the original as possible (minus a weird electro-pop reimagining of the acoustic song “Girl At Home”). This replication serves to help the fans relive a defining moment for Swift — her first true crossover from country to pop. If you didn’t like the original album before, chances are you won’t like the rerecord now. If you want
to give it a chance, though, I’d recommend listening to the first three songs previously endorsed along with “Treacherous (Taylor’s Version),” “Nothing New (feat. Phoebe Bridgers) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” and the spunky pop anthem “Message in a Bottle (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault).” The runtime of 2 hours, 10 minutes feels excessive, but I see it as an album meant to be consumed slowly. Take it one song at a time and you’ll be sure to find easter egg after easter egg, the decoding of which will keep me busy for the foreseeable future.

‘Eternals’ marks needed change for Marvel Studios By Elizabeth Secor @esecor2003
“Eternals,” the third film installment in Marvel’s Phase 4, recently came to theaters and marked a nice change in the studio’s traditional releases. Going into “Eternals,” I was feeling apprehensive due to the poor critic ratings, but the film’s diverse cast and engaging plot signaled a new and better era for Marvel. The film follows a group of eight extraterrestrial beings known as the Eternals, lead by Gemma Chan as Sersi. Each has their own unique powers, who have sworn to protect the Earth from the Deviants (alien monsters who are trying to eat all of
human life). Now that I’ve seen the movie, I can say that these critics — who gave “Eternals” a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — are pretentious assholes who can’t handle not having their straight, buff, XY chromosome superhero dominating the screen. This movie is full of diversity and plot that goes beyond the same old, same old of past Marvel movies. Director Chloé Zhao (director of the award-winning film “Nomadland”) incorporated her unique way of storytelling into the movie, making it a new take on Marvel projects. In addition to the consistently delivered action-packed scenes, the movie also explores the relationships between characters, crafting a
storyline that portrays the love and friendship of the Eternals, with more struggles than just right versus wrong. The film did a magnificent job crafting multi-dimensional characters, giving each of the eight Eternals personalities and depth. This is achieved through the use of flashbacks throughout the movie that helped expand the cinematic universe in the story. Marvel did a brilliant job portraying Eternal Makkari (Lauren Ridloff), who is deaf and communicates solely in sign language. The directors made sure that Makkari holds more personality than just being deaf. The technical details surrounding being deaf were also addressed and it was fantastic to
see actors facing her directly so she could lip-read. Toward the end of the film, her facial expressions, gestures and more made her personality shine, and she is definitely one of my favorite Eternals. Marvel did a similarly good portrayal with Eternal Phastos, who is married to a man. This presentation of an LGBTQ+ character that isn’t just in the background and is allowed to kiss other characters on-screen signals a much-needed change in Marvel’s LGBTQ+ representation. Even more so, Phastos and his husband reject the conventionally queer achetype of difference as they experience the same struggles customarily seen with straight couples in Marvel movies.

UNM volleyball turns around losing streak, beats San Diego State By Annya Loya @annyaloya The University of New Mexico volleyball team beat San Diego State University 3-0 in their last home match of the season at Johnson Center on Saturday, Nov. 13. The Lobos had suffered three losses in a row prior to Saturday but turned it around against the Aztecs, making their record now 18-9 and 9-7 in conference play. “It was a challenging week for us … We had to go through some adversity,” head coach Jon Newman-Gonchar said. “Every time you go through some adversity you learn who you really are, and what you really value. It was great
to see them (work) together (to beat) this very good San Diego State team. I’m just very proud of our group.” UNM badly needed this win to hang onto the sixth seed in the Mountain West Conference and to consequently keep their season going into the conference tournament. Newman-Gonchar was emotional about his team’s season so far. “I think we had an amazing season. I think everyone started (strong) from day one. The commitment of these athletes turned out to be something special this year,” Newman-Gonchar said. “You take wins; you take losses. The fact is we’re going to get better each and every day and we’re pretty proud of ourselves. That’s what happened this year.”
San Diego State managed to keep the first two sets close, with the Lobos just winning 25-23 both times, but UNM completely took over the third match, winning handily 25-13. The Aztecs averaged a .123 kill percentage while the Lobos averaged .302 by the end of the match. Outside hitter Uxue Guereca took over with 12.5 points, a .545 kill percentage and seven digs against San Diego State. Alongside Guereca, middle blocker Avital Jaloba scored 11.5 points with a .833 kill percentage and three total blocks. “We saw a lot from Avital, from Uxue, a lot from Kate (Biassou). You can’t just do one — our setter got better; our libero keeps growing. The whole team keeps getting better and better,”

Newman-Gonchar said. Outside hitter Biassou, who has been a critical player all season, ended the game with 8.5 points and a -.103 hit percentage. She has a total average of .254 kill percentage for this season so far. Biassou praised her team and said it was every player’s contribution that led to their big win. Regarding the season overall, she said the Lobos win against Colorado State University in October stood out amongst the rest of the matches as CSU had come into the match as the No. 1 team in the Mountain West Conference. Although they expected an easy win, the Lobos proved them wrong. “Beating Colorado State (was my favorite moment),” Biassou said. “They’re a really big school
and a big program. I feel like we came in with so much energy and confidence and we wanted to win. I think everyone underestimated us a little bit.” The Lobos have two more away games to finish their regular season. They play the United States Air Force Academy on Nov. 16 and California State University, Fresno on Nov. 20. If they hang onto the sixth seed or better in the Mountain West Conference, they will continue their season at the Mountain West Women’s Volleyball Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada from Nov. 24-26.
