Title IX changes muddy the waters for UNM

Accreditation review to focus on Athletics

By Danielle Prokop @ProkopDani The U.S. Department of Education released new Title IX guidelines last Friday, and it’s unclear how the standards might affect colleges around the country, including the University of New Mexico.

Due to the agreement brokered with the Department of Justice in 2016, UNM might have different standards than other schools regarding sexual harassment and sexual assault investigation and procedures.

The agreement with DOJ mandated that UNM implement training, revise University policy on report to better resolve sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations, eliminate the hostile environment and ensure Title IX state are adequately trained. UNM still has to provide reports until 2020.

Office of Equal Opportunity Director Francie Cordova told the Daily Lobo the new guidelines

currently have “a lot of vagueness” regarding how day-to-day policies may change, especially in the context of the DOJ agreement.

“It’s still unclear how this would affect UNM because of our agreement, which we still have one year on, with the DOJ, and for OEO, we’re still committed to the path we’ve been on.”

The 144-page document focused on Title IX’s prohibition specifically on sexual assault and did not touch on any other forms of discrimination.

In Sept. 2017 Education Secretary Betsy DeVos scrapped Obama administration's “Dear Colleague Letter” which had been in place since 2011. DeVos has previously criticized the Title IX guidance as stepping on due process, and not being fair.

The Department of Education previously released a database in 2018 regarding schools under investigation for sexual assault by the Office of Civil Rights. However, UNM was one of a few schools investigated by the DOJ for their

policies handling sexual assault and harassment.

DOJ wrote at the time that the incidents of sexual assault and harassment “created a hostile environment for affected students they were sufficiently serious that they interfered with or limited students’ ability to participate in or benefit from the school’s program.”

The OEO is in charge of investigating claims of discrimination on campus, based on “protected classes” including, but not limited to, disability, race and religion.

The Student Conduct Officer, Kelly Davis, in the Dean of Students’ Office is described as working with students and visitors who may have violated UNM codes and policies.

The proposed regulations differ from a draft leaked in August, where more emphasis was placed on proof standards.

Currently, UNM uses a “preponderance of evidence” standard.

This means to determine if someone has broken the student code of conduct, weigh the evidence and it

The University of New Mexico is facing an accreditation check next year, and will have to reconcile with past choices made by its most controversial department — athletics.

The Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which grants accreditation to post-secondary institutions across 19 states, will be going through the process of reevaluating UNM’s accreditation. Accreditation, along with securing federal funding, ensures that universities are meeting certain standards of curriculum and services. In other words, it’s what makes a degree worth something in the real world.

In an interview with the Daily Lobo, interim Provost Richard Wood highlighted areas the HLC will be looking at next semester, including advisement, state governance and budgetary issues at the UNM Athletics Department.

Recently,theAthleticsDepartment has faced an extraordinary amount of scrutiny after it was revealed last semester that the department had accumulated around $7.5 million in budget deficits at its peak, doubling

its deficit from the previous year.

That’s more than the total operating budget of the football team, which sits around $6.4 million.

“Clearly (HLC is) going to look at the Athletics budget, they’ve notified us about that,” Wood said.

The Athletics Department, along with other entities at UNM, was the subject of a New Mexico Attorney General’s report released in September that revealed “a disturbing pattern of concealment and deliberate misrepresentation” in terms of transparency at the University. It discusses former Athletics Director Paul Krebs, who is currently under criminal investigation for sending an anonymous check to the UNM Foundation to cover up an unapproved golf trip to Scotland that took place in 2015.

Wood said that because of this report, the HLC may consider UNM “under governmental investigation.” Wood said this is a mislabel.

“It’s not a government investigation of the University, it’s of a particular piece,” he said.

In the report, Attorney General Hector Balderas also mentions transparency concerns involving

FOOTBALL

Lobos finish with worst offensive performance of season

By Matthew Narvaiz @matt_narvaiz

Coltin Gerhart (#11) prepares to pass the ball during the last football game of the year for UNM. UNM football took a crushing blow from Wyoming at Dreamstyle Stadium on Nov. 24, 2018.

The University of New Mexico Lobos finished its season on Saturday afternoon with a 31-3 loss, the team’s seventh straight of the season.

New Mexico finished the season 3-9 overall, 1-7 in conference and 1-5 at home. This season in many ways mirrored 2017 where the Lobos also went 3-9 and finished the season with seven straight losses.

“A disappointing loss, a disappointing season,” UNM Head Coach Bob Davie said after the loss.

“Everything looks negative right now because that’s the lens we’re looking through right now, and that’s why there’s no reason to say

too much or talk too much.”

Wyoming got its running attack going early, with Nico Evans strutting through UNM’s defense for 37 yards. That was quickly followed by a 21-yard touchdown rush from Xazavian Valladay to give the Cowboys a lead just over two minutes into the game.

Meanwhile, the Lobos’ offense was stagnant. In its first two drives, UNM wasn’t able to move the ball forward nor could it get a first down. Both drives resulted in three-and-outs.

Going into the second quarter, Wyoming’s stout rushing attack continued to pound the Lobos. Valladay opened up the frame with a 16-yard rush and was later followed up by an even bigger run by

Evans with a 30-yard touchdown.

Late in the second quarter, UNM was given an opportunity to get into scoring position after Wyoming’s punter muffed the snap and its defense was flagged for pass interference, which put the Lobos at the Cowboys’ 11-yard line. UNM, however, had to settle for a field goal from Andrew Shelley.

That field goal would be the Lobos’ only points of the game.

In the second half, Wyoming’s rushing attack — with Evans and Valladay — was still churning.

By the end, the Cowboys finished with 366 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

Valladay finished with 192 yards and two touchdowns on the

34 yards passing.

The Lobos, having now failed to qualify for a bowl game for the last two seasons, will inevitably face questions about the stability of the program. There will also likely be a great deal of pressure and uncertainty regarding Davie’s future, whose contract with UNM expires in 2021. If fired, the University will have to pay him around $1.3 million.

The attendance for the game

was officially listed at 14,269.

the sports back will have to address Title IX compliance, deficits in Athletics and the academic needs of UNM. He said a plan that addresses all of these factors “remains to be seen.”

“Right now, it’s a discourse, it’s people talking to the press about their commitments,” Wood said in reference to legislators saying they will bring sports back. “That’s great, but at the end of the day it’s got to come down to how it’s done, the hard dollars on the table.”

He also stressed the need for state funds to be recurring, adding that “one-time dollars don’t solve this problem.”

UNM’s last accreditation came in 2009 and was approved for ten years. Wood said that while the HLC approved UNM for accredi-

tation, concerns were raised about advisement and state governance.

According to Wood, the University was hit at the time with around $25 million in state budgetary cuts, due in part to the Great Recession. He also said advisement at UNM has greatly improved since 2009.

HLC will perform a site visit to UNM sometime in March and will produce its final report later in the year.

Cordova said this standard of actual knowledge may change what would happen with mandatory reporters, but again, said it is unclear.

“It’s a legal term meaning the reporters have to have actually experienced or witnessed something,” she said.

This differs significantly from UNM’s LoboRESPECT guidelines for reporting “allegations or potential of abuse.”

Aim to establish new procedures to as “safeguards for the investigation” and consequences of a complaint.

In their shorter rule summary, the DOE describes final determination and “cross-examination” as: “For colleges and universities, a final determination must be made at a live hearing, and cross-examination must be allowed (with rape shield protections against asking about a complainant’s sexual his-

tory) and must be conducted by each party’s advisor (i.e., no personal confrontation allowed).”

Reading into the full-page explanation, this process gets more complicated. There’s a provision — called (b)(3)(iv) — that enables institutions to restrict the role of advisor participation.

It is unclear what would happen in cross-examination the case of limited roles.

At the hearing, each party is permitted to ask party and any witnesses any and all questions, including those challenging credibility.

“All cross-examination must exclude evidence of the complainant’s sexual behavior or predisposition, unless such evidence about the complainant’s sexual behavior is offered to prove that someone other than the respondent committed the conduct alleged by the complainant, or if the evidence concerns specific incidents

Governor-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham and a few state legislators, including Speaker of the House Brian Egolf, have promised to bring the sports back during the next legislative session, which begins in January.

“We’re not exactly sure which option we’re going to select, but men’s soccer is coming back,” Egolf said in an interview with the Daily Lobo on Nov. 6.

If there is one thing that encapsulates the Lobo football team’s poor performance this season, it’s the attendance at Dreamstyle Stadium.

Through six home games, an average of 16,587 fans per game were in attendance, the lowest in the Bob Davie era and the worst for one season at Dreamstyle since 1991.

For some perspective, former head coach Mike Locksley, who only won two games in his three seasons at the helm, drew a larger crowd.

The reported attendance comes from the number of tickets sold before the game, not by how many people actually showed up — meaning there were likely fewer people in the stands than

reported. Turnstile numbers are not made public, if they are even tracked at all.

The Lobos finished ninth in the Mountain West Conference for average attendance, but dead last in conference in percentage of stadium filled at 42 percent.

It was reported by the Albuquerque Journal that, after three games, the team was on track to fall dramatically short of their $1.2 million revenue projection. The Athletics Department has been facing deficit issues in general, which peaked around $7.5 million.

There has been no official comment so far by the team nor the department regarding how attendance figures will be improved in the future.

seems “more likely than not” that the student broke the code, then they can recommend sanctions.

And UNM will continue to use the standard, and will not have to use “clear and convincing” which means a higher burden of proof.

Define conduct constituting sexual harassment They highlight quid pro quo harassment, limiting the definition of sexual harassment to unwelcome conduct that is so “severe, pervasive and objectively offensive” and limits access to education or activities and sexual assault as a crime.

Then there’s the standard of “actual knowledge” thrown into the reporting mix. Actual knowledge is another legal term defined

by Black’s Law Dictionary as “(k) nowledge gained through firsthand observation or experience, as distinguished from a belief based on what someone else has said.”

of the complainant’s sexual behavior with respect to the respondent and is offered to prove consent.”

Either party can request the cross examination in separate rooms as long as it can occur live video chat to see and hear answers.

Finally, if any party or witness is not cross-examined, “the decisionmaker must not rely on any statement of that party or witness in reaching a determination regarding responsibility.” In other words — discard their previous statements.

Fines and Fees The new guidance may also change how institutions may be punished, taking away a sanction power of the OCR. The DOE is prohibiting their own Office of Civil Rights from using money damages when universities violate Title IX. Religious exemptions Finally to become exempt from Title IX for religious reasons insti-

tutions no longer have to submit a written statement. Instead, “the institution may still invoke its religious exemption during the course of any investigation pursued against the institution by the Department.”

Before the regulations will be passed, there is a 60-day comment period for institutions and the Department of Education to engage in discussion about policy and practices. Cordova said before the University can make any real changes to policy a lot of questions need answers.

“So what we’re going to see in the next year is a lot of digesting nationally by legal groups before any final decisions are made,” Cordova said.

MEN’S BASKETball

Lobos take win with explosive second half

By Robert Maler @Robert_Maler The University of New Mexico men's basketball team did not get off to a great start against the UTEP Miners on Saturday, but erupted in the second half to earn an 84-78 victory.

It took nearly four minutes for either team to get on the scoreboard, but UTEP's Kaosi Ezeagu broke the stalemate with a layup at the 16:16 mark to open things up.

The Lobos remained scoreless for over seven and a half minutes before Vance Jackson made good on a 3-point attempt.

A little past the midway point in the first half, more than 11,000 fans at Dreamstyle Arena were likely in disbelief. The Lobos had still managed to score just the lone basket and UTEP sophomore guard Evan Gilyard had stuck a pair of 3-pointers in transition following blocks that gave the Miners a 14-3 advantage.

UNM head coach Paul Weir said he wasn't surprised UTEP started the game with success on defense because it is something the team has been doing, but also pointed out his squad missed some opportunities.

"I mean we had missed dunks, we had missed layups, we were doing reverse layups," Weir said. "We were just doing some stuff around the rim that ordinarily, we're getting to the free throw line (or) finishing."

New Mexico did get to the free throw line with regularity in the first half, and did a much better job than it had in previous games, going 12of-13 from the charity stripe in the first 20 minutes. And although UNM cooled down in the second half, the Lobos were still 75 percent from the foul line for the game.

Keith McGee shoots into the air as he attempts to score for UNM this past Saturday. UNM won against UTEP 84-78.

But the Lobos were an unattractive 23 percent shooting from the floor in the first half, connecting on just seven field goals, and were perhaps fortunate to be down by just five points, 34-29, going into halftime.

UTEP shot a respectable 41 percent and made five 3-pointers, but left some points at the free throw line. The Miners were still up by 10 points in the first half with five minutes to play, but the free throw shooting by Lobos allowed them to cut the lead in half.

Weir said the team was fortunate enough to play solid defense early in the game to prevent UTEP from building a lead that was insurmountable.

And as the game progressed the law of averages balanced out

— the Lobos were as hot in the second half as they were cold in the first.

Senior guard Anthony Mathis was saddled with foul trouble in the first half — picking up two fouls within 10 seconds of each other — and was limited to two points. But he got fire and was nearly perfect coming out of the locker room. He hit all five of his shots in the second half, including 4-of-4 from beyond the arc and was 2-of-3 from the free throw line.

His 16 points helped eventually swing momentum in the Lobos' favor as the team shot an impressive 68 percent in the second half and went 8-of-11 from 3-point land.

UTEP hit a layup in the opening

moments of the second half to take a seven-point lead and maintained that advantage for about the first five minutes or so, leading 47-40 after an Efe Odigie layup with 15:19 to play.

But UNM point guard Keith McGee nailed a 3-point basket and later added a dunk as the Lobos quickly reduced the deficit to two points. The Miners made another push to try to stretch out the lead, but back-to-back 3-balls by Mathis gave the Lobos its first lead, 55-54, with 12:11 remaining in the game — one the Lobos refused to give back.

The Miners tied the game with about eight minutes to play, but New Mexico put together an 8-1 run capped by another long ball off the

hot hand of Mathis to make it 67-60.

Seemingly every time UTEP tried to put together one final run, the Lobos responded with an answer to quell the notion. When the Miners pulled to within two, Karim Ezzeddine connected from long range to create separation. Later, it was Dane Kuiper hitting a big-time shot from deep, elevating his team to a 77-72 advantage with under two minutes to play.

And Mathis removed all doubt, sticking his final 3-pointer with about 20 seconds left in the game to extend the Lobo margin to 82-76 before knocking down a pair of free throws in the final seconds to make it an 84-78 win.

Gilyard led all scorers with a game-high 22 points, while Mathis registered a team-high 18 points for the Lobos. All five UTEP starters ended up in double figures, but it wasn't enough to overcome the second half surge of New Mexico, which saw four players log doubledigit scoring performances.

The Lobos outscored the Miners 37-7 off the bench, which is probably to be expected considering the deep rotation UNM uses. But New Mexico also held a 25-15 advantage in points scored off turnovers and was good on 61 percent of its 3-point attempts to overcome its deficiencies.

Up next, UNM will travel to Illinois to face Bradley in the 2018 Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge. The game is slated to take place Dec. 1 at 6 p.m.

Soccer helps bring people together Editor, At 9 pm Mario, from Mexico, waited to be seen by emergency doctors for an injury to the chest.

His friend Arturo from Colombia had driven him to a nearby hospital — in northwest Germany, this past July. The husband of an elderly German couple waiting in line in front of them could hardly contain his impatience with a young immigrant family whose infant needed treatment. It took that family a long time to get registered. Finally, the couple was seen. Then it was Mario’s turn. He, too, took a long time to get registered. Two hours later, after several x-rays and an ultrasound, Mario and Arturo left the

enrollment issues too myopically.

Consider Bankrate’s July 12, 2018 article concerning the best and worst states to retire. New Mexico is second to last. U.S. News ranks Albuquerque 109 of 125 Best Places to live.

The Albuquerque Journal has written recently about APS’s poor

performance. Numbeo places Albuquerque at a 68.83 crime index, which is considered high. The Daily Lobo recently reported on the high vehicle theft rate at UNM. Also look at the cadavers of bicycles at UNM’s bicycle racks. The football and basketball programs suck. Have you

had the misfortune of visiting an Albuquerque emergency room lately? That’s an eye opener. Avoid ERs on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Prosecutor's office wants additional funds because the caseload is so large. There are many reasons contributing to

UNM’s enrollment decline, and they belong to state and local governments. Basically, Albuquerque isn’t a very desirable place to live.

UNM should revisit to whom they give in-state tuition.

hospital, relieved, no ribs broken, lungs and spleen intact.

While Mario was being examined, Arturo had befriended the impatient husband. When the man discovered that it was soccer that had brought the two foreigners to his beloved hometown of Mönchengladbach, he shared decades of memories of himself and his son, with pictures and anecdotes, as he and his son are part of the legendary history of the Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach. The language of soccer has done its magic and connected people from different parts of the world. As they were leaving, the man wished Arturo and Mario the best in life and soccer.

Life and Soccer — one is emblematic of the other, on many levels, especially here in this minority majority state of New Mexico where Mario and Arturo live. New Mexico does not have a professional team, but at least

there is a team worth cheering for, built both with homegrown players and players from different parts of this country and the world. Not only does soccer bring the world to New Mexico, the Lobos continue to send its athlete graduates into the world as emissaries of country and school. Exemplary discipline, outstanding modesty, accomplishments both in body and mind, pave their way of life.

Not only do these student athletes make their mark on the field. The local community is their home turf too where they work with children and youth to assist and support their growth in the sport and in life at large.

Over many years the UNM soccer school has built relationships with local communities and opened its doors with soccer camps in the summer and training sessions in the winter. Coaches from local clubs

get routinely invited to witness the thought, the energy, the science, the psychology that goes into the growth of a player and student to become successful in life and society.

Student athletes have been among UNM’s best. The discipline of athleticism does not just enlighten the body. Mind and soul grow with dedication, ambition, and vision, solid foundations for a sound human being who enriches the world with a deep sense of responsibility.

Education is everything, since it pertains to everything in life and society.

This has been the mission of Coach Jeremy Fishbein. What has been built over more than a generation, 35 years of sweat, blood and spirit of so countless many, first of all, by the late Craig Robertson, Professor of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering, who came over from Scotland and gave his life and vision to this school and built what has become one of the most enviable programs in the coun-

try, must not be destroyed with the callous stroke of an oblivious pen.

Soccer is the passion of the people, especially in poverty-stricken New Mexico, where children go to school to have breakfast first. Anyone, regardless of body or wallet size, can play the sport. Here no one is privileged. All are equal. The whole world understands this and embraces it as we witnessed this summer in Russia and will have the privilege to witness again in the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026. To prepare for this festival of nations, cultures and peoples as individuals and communities, one cannot destroy, but must build its infrastructure. It’s a mission owed to the people who trust the wisdom of reason and sensibility.

Student starts fashion business Harry Potter Day

By Shayla Cunico @ShaylaCunico Many students have jobs and small businesses they run outside of their coursework, but one student is redefining what running a small business means to her.

Hendrika Masire originally came to the U.S. from Kenya for her studies, but found herself becoming more and more interested in fashion, eventually starting her own sewing business.

“In Kenya I modeled and made clothes for several local celebrities and was also featured in a couple local TV shows,” Masire said. “I am just taking that experience and trying to make a name for myself here in the U.S.” Masire is a nursing student at Central New Mexico Community College, but also has an interest in fashion design.

“I have always loved fashion and been sewing pieces here and there since I could hold a needle,” Masire said.

When Masire moved to the U.S. she first settled down in Philadelphia, a place where she grew her first U.S. clientele. She then moved to Albuquerque, putting up flyers to advertise her growing business.

Masire said she first began making clothes during a difficult time in her life. Sewing clothes by hand became her release, something that she said could distract her.

“Creating things made me feel like I had a purpose in life,” Masire said. “At first I would hand sew everything until like five in the morning

because I couldn't sleep and because I couldn't afford a sewing machine at the time.”

To save up enough money to buy her first sewing machine, Masire said she started delivering food to make the cash she needed to pursue her craft.

“In about three days I had made exactly $57.37 and had $20 in savings, which I put together to buy the machine that was $70,” Masire said.

Since then Masire has created many different looks, both from scratch and some being redesigned from old garments that her clients bring her, something she said helps keeps her clients within their budgets.

“I actually really like redesigning (making new clothes from old clothes) because most of the seams are already done, which means less work and the possibilities are endless so I can get creative,” Masire said. “I just love creating.”

When getting in her creative space, Masire said she always plays music while she sews. She said she listens to a lot of rap and R&B, with some of her favorites being Dave East, Kur, H.E.R, Sinead Harnett, Drake, Lil Baby, Lil Durk and Brent Faiyaz.

“I also will sometimes play motivational documentaries,” Masire said. ”My fave is Beyonce's ‘Life Is

But a Dream,’ and I also (listen to) a lot of P Diddy's interviews if I need a pick me up.”

Masire’s creative process starts from first envisioning a design, that she then sketches, and brings to life by cutting raw fabric, or fabric that her clients bring in. Other times Masire said she just randomly starts cutting fabric to see where it takes her.

Masire is also a stylist, working with clients on wardrobe makeovers, personal shopping and styling photoshoots, where she gets to lend her hand in the creative direction.

Some of Masire’s designs have been hand sewn, something that she said can cause painful blisters from the friction, but she maintains her love for her craft by expressing her motto, “Anything for the dress.”

Masire plans on opening an online shop where she said her pieces will be up for purchase, with each being completely unique and limited. Her blog is fetu2.wordpress. com, a place where Masire said she can put up all of her creative work including her writing, clothing she has designed, and photoshoots that she has styled and directed.

“Only do fashion if you love it and just cannot imagine your life without it because it can get very tough,” Masire said. “Your love for your craft will keep you going.”

enchants UNM

By Shayla Cunico and Tiffani Watteyne @ShaylaCunico @tiffanirosew

Last week the University of New Mexico was enchanted by the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the University’s annual Harry Potter Day. To get into the wizarding world attendees were served Butterbeer, a drink mentioned throughout the Harry Potter series, while they had the opportunity to decorate cookies and play Harry Potter trivia.

Ryan Lindquist, the director of the UNM Student Activities Center, said that celebrating Harry Potter Day the Tuesday before everyone goes home for the holiday weekend gives students, staff and faculty the opportunity to celebrate together on campus.

“The Tuesday before Thanksgiving was chosen for the day of the event due to the many holiday themes in the great hall of Hogwarts,” Lindquist said.

Many students dress up for the event to represent the four houses of the series; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The representation could also be seen on the pillars of the Student Union Building where banners were hung vertically displaying the the crest of each house.

Students playing trivia could also win the t-shirt that was designed for this year’s Harry Potter Day. The

maroon shirt read “UNM Harry Potter Day,” and displayed recognizable icons from the movie series.

“We see people in costumes, some people bring their children, lots of trivia buffs and people just looking to socialize and find community,” Lindquist said. “Harry Potter Day always has a great turnout, there are almost a thousand people who will stop by during the two hour event.”

Winterfest kicks off the Christmas season

By Alyssa Bitsie @Albitsie Burqueños kicked off the holiday season this year with the fourth-annual Winterfest at Civic Plaza in Downtown Albuquerque on Nov. 24.

The free, family-friendly event was filled with local vendors for everyone’s holiday shopping needs, comfort food and holiday treats.

Winterfest took place the same day as Small Business Saturday. Small Business Saturday is a day when the state suspends collections of gross receipt tax on qualifying items at certain small businesses with 10 employees or less, according to the New Mexico

Taxation and Revenue website.

Santa Claus made an appearance to talk to the kids and take pictures. Guests could also stay warm with hot cocoa, eggnog or adult libations.

Every year in Civic Plaza an ice rink is opened up for the holiday season and this year’s Winterfest featured the grand opening of the Holiday Ice Qube Skating Rink — a synthetic skating rink that is free to the public. Skates can be rented for $3, or guests can bring their own.

The City of Albuquerque provided the synthetic skating rink, which is made of interlocking polymer material panels, along with the Civic Plaza holiday decorations, said the Director of Event Services at SMG-

managed Albuquerque Convention Center, Damian Lopez-Gaston.

Winterfest is meant to start the Christmas season, right after Thanksgiving, Lopez-Gaston said.

“We do this to get people out to the plaza and to get them out, get them into the Christmas mood, the Christmas spirit,” Lopez-Gaston said.

Last year, Winterfest was held on two consecutive Saturdays with about 1,500 people in attendance each day within the first four hours.

Lopez-Gaston said the event is only becoming more popular.

“Obviously it’s so popular I think we’ll go back to two weekends again next year,” Lopez-Gaston said.

Attending as a vendor was Rose Smith, owner of Salveation Skin Healer. Originally from Maine, Smith said she enjoys the people, food and traditions of New Mexico.

“I’m surprised at the early turn out, it’s great, the weather’s gor-

geous — it’s a little windy — but I’m so happy to be here,” Smith said.

Smith said she makes and sells cream and hand lotions to help people who suffer from dry skin in the New Mexico desert.

“It’s my first year and I definitely will be coming back next year,” Smith said.

The rink will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays, but will be open for skating Wednesdays through Sundays, with weekday hours 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and weekend hours 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Crime briefs for November 26, 2018

Indecent exposure at Popejoy Hall

According to a report by the University of New Mexico Police Department on the afternoon of Nov. 14, a male student came to UNMPD to report an incident. He said he was in the men’s restroom on the basement level of Popejoy Hall about 20 minutes earlier. The student said he was in the last stall when the male in the middle stall began “tapping his foot and moving it in a noticeable way. The unknown male in the middle stall then lowered the lower half of his body to the floor exposing only the lower portion of his torso and legs — thus exposing his genital area,” the report states.

The student said he left the stall quickly, feeling shocked. As he left the bathroom, he saw the male look over the stall, showing the upper half of his face. The student described the suspect as a blonde male with a receding hairline, no visible tattoos and in his early 20s.

The suspect wore rubber-soled brown leather dress shoes. The student said the suspect did not try to touch or talk to him.

Breaking and entering at Hokona Hall On the morning of Nov. 16, an officer was called to the UNMPD station, because a male was caught breaking into a dorm room in Ho-

kona Hall, according to a police report. The lead housekeeper, who went to the room to finish cleaning before new tenants moved in, saw the male inside the dorm room.

The housekeeper called and met the assistant director immediately. The subject was walking down the hall when the assistant director confronted him. The assistant director verbally detained him and escorted him to the UNMPD station inside the same building.

The subject said he used to live in the dorm room he broke into.

He said he removed the screen on an external window then forced the window open. Once inside, he urinated in a trash can and vomited on the floor. “The criminal damage to the apartment shall be

turned over to the UNM custodial services,” the report states. Trash and a mattress were also found on the floor in the room — the male is homeless and has been spending nights in the room.

victims tried to place the patient on the ground. The patient punched the left side of the victim’s head and spat. The saliva hit the victim’s shoulder and cheek. The victim then stopped trying to place the patient on the ground. His face later began to swell.

The other victim forced the patient to the ground, and the patient bit his shoulder, causing bruising and minor bleeding. Due to his behavior, the patient was sedated and placed in restraints. Therefore, the officer was not able to interview him. The victim who was bitten was examined and then released by medical personnel.

Two counts of battery on a healthcare worker at UNM Psychiatric Center On the afternoon of Nov. 16, an officer was sent to the UNM Psychiatric Center, due to a battery, according to a UNMPD report. The officer arrived and met with two male victims. The victims said they are part of the center’s response team and were sent to help restrain a patient. When the patient became violent and personal, one of the

Students to sell art at ASUNM crafts fair

By Shayla Cunico @ShaylaCunico This week from Wednesday to Friday, the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico are bringing back their three day, ASUNM Arts & Crafts Fair.

Local artists, and some from out of state, are bringing their art to the table for students to browse and purchase in the ballrooms of the Student Union Building on UNM main campus.

Gabriella Escarcega, the executive director of the ASUNM Arts & Crafts Studio, said they are bringing over 70 vendors to the fair.

“I think (students) can expect a lot of interesting things,” Escarcega said.

The vendors are each bringing a variety of different handmade pieces, ranging anywhere from wood and metal work, to jewelry and pottery. Escarcega said this year handmade soap and fabric work are to be expected with their popularity rising in recent years at the fair.

“We want to make sure that everything is handmade, and nothing is commercialized,” Escarcega said.

“That’s one of the things we look for.”

This year Escarcega said they are bringing about 10 student vendors and two alumni vendors to the fair.

“I think we got a little more diverse with things,” Escarcega said.

“We have a few regular vendors, but I’m really excited to see all the fresh faces”

Students can expect the price range of the pieces to be anywhere from a maximum of $300 to a minimum of about five dollars. The vendors set their own prices for their work, but Escarcega said that she doesn’t expect too many pieces to reach the maximum price points.

Escarcega said one of her favorite vendors this year is the Curious Goat Works, a shop created by Sophia Torres, a sculptor whose focus is on ceramic dolls.

“I’m really glad that she’s back,” Escarcega said. “That’s one that I can think of, off the top of my head, that I’m excited to see again.”

The vendors take care of their own transactions at their booths as well. Escarcega said she recommends students bring cash to the

fair, and that there is no way to be sure that the vendor students will be purchasing from accepts cards.

Although the ASUNM Arts & Crafts Studio puts on the fair, they don’t make any profit off of the vendors. Escarcega said everything that the artist makes goes right to their pockets.

Student work that will be available to purchase from the fair includes works from the ASUNM Arts & Crafts Studio, Arita Porcelain and UNM Printmaking.

The Department of Fine Arts offers the Atria Porcelain program, which is a historical process of making porcelain pieces, a method that was traditionally practiced in Arita, Japan.

Students in the program will have their works up for purchase at the fair.

Other student work includes pieces from the UNM Printmaking department, also falling under the umbrella of the Department of Fine Arts. Printmaking at the University can include digital, lithography, Monotype, Serigraphy and Relief — with many students pushing themselves to work with different mediums.

“Even if you don’t plan on buying anything, just show up and give (the artists) some support,” Escarcega said.

Small Business Saturday helps local shops

By Justin Garcia @just516garc It’s a brisk morning in Albuquerque’s Nob Hill. The cold autumn wind is settling in just as dozens of small, locally-owned businesses get set to open for day two — Small Business Saturday — of Thanksgiving weekend.

Since 2009, American Express has marketed the day after Black Friday as Small Business Saturday.

During the five-day weekend, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimated that 164 million Americans planned to shop. The NRF survey predicted that about 67 million Americans were planning to shop on Saturday, compared to 116 million on Black Friday.

“It’s kind of an urban legend

or a myth almost,” said Edward Tomaselli, a manager at Mask y Mas in Nob Hill. “People just come out instinctively.” Masks y Mas has been a Nob Hill staple for 15 years. He said during the Black Friday weekend, his shop sees a 10 percent increase in sales.

Off Broadway Vintage Clothes and Costumes manager Kenneth Ansloan said the weekend brings in “a lot of people from out of town.”

Ansloan said in his ten years as manager, the Black Friday weekend typically brings a modest increase of in-person sales.

American Express offers its small business customers a variety of advertising resources during this period. Storefront posters, online images and filters for profile pictures, all uniformly branded in blue and white, are available for free, in

addition to the “Shop Small” television advertisements.

The Black Friday tradition, or urban legend as Tomaselli put it, has its origins deep in American history. One of the earliest uses of the phrase was in 1869.

According to University of Delaware professor Kenneth Ackerman, a conspiracy to corner the gold market nearly sent the U.S. into an economic depression. Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, both railroad executives, secretly bought millions of dollars of gold, while Abel Corbin, Grant’s brother-in-law, convinced the president to leave the U.S. gold supply alone, allowing the price to reach unprecedented heights.

Grant eventually became suspicious that Corbin was involved in the rumored “gold ring.” On Friday, Sept. 24, Grant ordered the Trea-

sury Secretary to flood the gold market by selling-off $4 million of the U.S. gold supply, effectively ending the conspiracy. The move bankrupted several firms. Fisk and Gould escaped prosecution, never spending a night in jail.

About 100 years later, Philadelphia reporter Joseph Barrett recalled that he and colleague Nathan Kleger “put together a front-page story for Thanksgiving and we appropriated the police term ‘Black Friday’ to describe the terrible traffic conditions.” That article was published in The Philadelphia Bulletin in 1959.

As the phrase relates to merchants “getting into the black,” The Wall Street Journal linguistic columnist Ben Zimmer tracked down the origins to the 1980’s.

Zimmer said “the ‘back in the

black’ explanation was clearly a way to rebrand Black Friday with more positive connotations.”

Charles Owen, store manager of New Mexico Look on Central Avenue, said in 2018 “we’ve been trained that you have to go out and do christmas presents.” He added that he didn’t think it was a bad thing. ‘What would happen if you showed up and you said ‘mom I’m sorry, I decided I’m not buying you a christmas present?” Owen said.

From Thanksgiving to Christmas, the National Retail Federation expects American consumers to spend over $700 billion.

Climate change: Southwest becoming dangerously dry

By Justin Garcia and Danielle Prokop @Just516garc @ProkopDani This is the first in a series for the Daily Lobo about the fourth executive summary report on climate change and its effects on the lives of people of the United States. The focus for these articles will be limited to the Southwest.

Water, food and human health are becoming less secure in the Southwest as the slow-burning effects of climate change continues to warm the area, and exacerbate drought conditions according to The Fourth National Climate Assessment.

The report recommended that if significant steps were not taken, the American economy could be reduced by up to ten percent by the end of the twenty-first century.

The NCA surveyed academic articles, news stories across the U.S. and broke their analysis into geographic regions.

The Southwest in the report is comprised of California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.

The report said that one the biggest challenges in the Southwest is water and how agriculture and city populations will be able to “balanc(e) declining supplies with greater demand.”

Rising temperatures have wors-

ened droughts in the Southwest region, especially in the Colorado River Basin, according to the report. According to a 2012 study, the Colorado River and tributaries directly provide water for more than 40 million people.

A drought affecting the vital area has reduced the volume of water of the two largest reservoirs — Lake Powell and Lake Mead — by over half.

New Mexico has experienced both warming temperatures and increased water usage from previous years.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Lobos pull ahead in double-overtime thriller

By Cameron Goeldner @Goeldfinger It took two overtime periods to finish the job.

The Lobos led for much of the game, though never by very much, with the largest lead coming in the second quarter at 13. Familiar faces led the attack for the Lobos, as Aisia Robertson recorded a quadruple double in points, assists, rebounds and turnovers. Jaisa Nunn, fresh off a performance against Hartford that earned her a Mountain West player of the week award, recorded her second straight double-double, finishing the day with 21 points and 12 rebounds.

UMN struggled to hang on the ball against a high pressure attack from the Cougars, coughing up 34 turnovers, 13 of them from Robertson, but all eight of the Lobos who saw the court had at least one. UH forced the majority of the turnovers thanks to 22 steals.

“The way they play will make you a little crazy,” UNM coach Mike Bradbury told the Albuquerque Journal, “and we did some crazy things at times. But this game was honestly about what I expected, back and forth between two really good athletic teams. Our players battled and battled and battled to come out with a win. I’m proud of them.”

Nearly all of the Lobos production came from the starters, as the bench only contributed 6 points in very limited minutes. Antonia Anderson had the most minutes of anyone off the bench with 14, and provided the largest contribution as well, scoring five points and pulling in three rebounds.

In the final moments of the third quarter, the Cougars were able to tie up the game, and the Lobos struggled to regain separation in the fourth. Houston pulled within 67-66 with less than a minute on the clock, but Nunn put the Lobos up by two thanks to a free throw.

ten seconds left to tie the game and force the second overtime at 76-76.

In the second, Robertson took control of the offense for the Lobos, scoring eight of the 13 points for UNM in the period, including a three pointer that broke an 84-84 tie. Everett would ice the game from the line on a pair of free throws to achieve the final score of 89-84.

The Lobos return to the court at Dreamstyle Arena on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. against the University of Oklahoma.

The Cougars had an opportunity to end the game on a look from three in the final seconds of the game but missed the shot, however the Lobos were whistled for a foul that sent Angela Harris to the line for three shots. She converted on two of the three to force overtime at 68-68.

In the first overtime period, UNM came out hot, opening the

period on a 7-0 run that opened on pair of free throws from Robertson before the freshman took over. Jayla Everett hit a three and then Ahlise Hurst, who earned her first start of the year, converted a layup. However, the Cougars answered with an 8-0 run of their own shortly after and took a one point lead with 31 seconds left in the period. Robertson split a pair of free throws with

Africana creative writing class takes unique approach

By Veronica Apodaca @veeapodaca As the end of the semester approaches students at the University of New Mexico begin to plan their class schedules for the spring, with each semester bringing new classes for students to take advantage of.

In the Africana Studies Program, a new creative writing class called Introduction to Black Creative Writing, offers students the chance to explore the work of black authors as well as expand their own writing skills.

Taught by Naima Yael Tokunow, the class includes not only fictional prose, but also nonfiction, poetry and drama in order to give students a well-rounded view of black authors and their work.

These works will extend from slave narratives to the writings of

contemporary black authors. Tokunow said she hopes that this wide range of writing in the readings that she has chosen will appeal to students who connect to various types of literature.

“I wanted to put together works that spoke to each other in some way, that either were agreeing with each other or disagreeing with each other or talking about the same thing in different ways,” said Tokunow. “So not only would we be having conversations with each other as a class, the texts would be the catalyst for those conversations.”

Students will also have the opportunity to write for each of the different genres studied in the class in order to improve their writing skills in these genres.

The writing assignments and readings for the class set it apart from a traditional creative writing class by extending the curriculum

to genres beyond fiction, something that Tokunow said she hopes will make it appealing to students who do not usually find fiction writing appealing, whether they are reading it or creating it themselves.

The use of different types of writing is also an invitation for

students from various departments all over campus to take the class and learn more about what Africana Studies has to offer.

Recently, the university announced that it will be offering a Master of the Arts and PhD. Degree program in Chicano and Chicana Studies, and the Africana Studies Program is currently in the process of petitioning to become a department within the university.

Dr. Charles Becknell Jr., the director of the Africana Studies Program, has been an avid supporter of adding the new class and hopes that it will promote the spirit of inclusivity found in the program.

“When we look at creative writing from the black literary tradition, we’re looking at an opportunity where other units across campus who have an expertise in this area,” Becknell said. “They can learn and they can grow from

including perspectives from the black experience.”

He also hopes that the class will be a place for students to experience individual growth both by reading the works of others and through their writing. The curriculum shifts the focus away from the Eurocentric literature that most students experience in English and creative writing classes, and instead allows students to focus on different narratives in order to expand their perspectives of literature.

“I want students to come away with a stronger sense of self and a firmer understanding of the world that they live in,” Becknell said.

Special Olympic athlete inspires others daily

By Elizabeth Sanchez @Beth_A_Sanchez Editor’s Notes: This article was originally published by New Mexico News Port under the title “Special Olympic Athlete Inspires Others Daily” on Nov. 13, 2018.

Earlier this semester, Lucinda Ciddio walked into Santa Fe High School for a Homecoming assembly. She and her son, Santos Leyba, 18, were feeling nervous before the announcement of this year’s king and queen, she said. Basketball players helped Leyba prepare by jumping, chanting and huddling.

Then, Leyba’s name was called.

“It was a big deal,” Leyba said. “To me, it was like winning an Oscar. It was nerve-wracking, because once I found out a guy from ROTC was running, I was like, ‘Oh man.… ’ I can’t even explain how excited I was.”

The students gave him a standing ovation, and his friends from the basketball team walked him to the throne, Ciddio said.

“I was off in the corner bawling, because I thought that they felt the same way about him that I do,” she said.

Whenever they leave the house, Leyba, who is developmentally delayed, tends to always know someone, she said. While he was running for king, some of the cheerleaders from Saint Michael’s High School helped him make his campaign posters. The SFHS Homecoming queen, Marielena Fernandez, was always helpful when attending different events for Homecoming court.

“He just brings out something in people,” Ciddio said.

When asked what makes him happy, for Leyba, the answer is simple.

Climate

from page

“Practically anything,” he said.

“Being around people, being around friends, being around family. Pretty much anything makes me happy.”

And he appears to spread that happiness around through his many roles.

Leyba is a senior at SFHS, Ciddio said. He is also the manager of the SFHS boys’ basketball team and recently participated in the Best Buddies Friendship Walk.

The spring of 2019 will be his third season with the SFHS track and field team, where he competes in meets, running against other high schoolers who have disabilities — he has gone to the state meet twice. He is also an active athlete through the Santa Fe branch of the Special Olympics.

The Special Olympics works with about 5.2 million athletes worldwide, according to the 2017 Special Olympics Reach Report.

Some sports are considered “unified sports,” Ciddio said.

Meaning, an athlete will have a “partner” while they participate.

The minimum age for athletes is 8 years old, she said, adding that the oldest athlete for the Santa Fe branch is 77 years old.

Athletes are allowed to compete at the state level to earn gold, silver or bronze, she said. They are also placed into various categories for competition: skills, learning a sport or game play. In Santa Fe, athletes are divided into two teams for game play, but other regions may have more teams.

Ciddio said she enrolled Leyba in the Special Olympics about four years ago because his older sister and younger brother played club sports, but he could not participate. Since then, Leyba has participated in poly hockey, bocce, volleyball, flag football,

golf, softball and bowling.

Ciddio’s role in the Special Olympics has also grown. She initially participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run as a member of the U.S. Marshals Service. Later, she became a parent of an athlete and a softball coach. Today, she serves as a local coordinator for Santa Fe, she said.

Leyba said the Special Olympics is “like a second family.”

He said the program has taught him how to be competitive and connect with others through sports, adding that he has also gained a lot of memories along the way.

“This whole program is about fun memories, and that’s what we do,” he said. “It’s really cool that this program has still been here, and it’s so much fun.”

Leyba’s bowling team recently participated in the State Bowling Tournament from Nov. 9 through 11 at Starlight Lanes. His bowling coach Magdalena Romero said she has been coaching bowling and bocce through the Special Olympics for over 20 years.

She said Leyba bowls pretty well and described him as a “really mellow, sweet, sweet young man.”

“He’s a hugger,” Romero said.

“He likes to give hugs to everyone.

Very soft spoken.”

Bowling seems to be one of the most popular sports with the Santa Fe branch of the Special Olympics, because it can be pretty fun, Romero said, adding that athletes are also given the opportunity to use ramps while playing.

If the Special Olympics did not exist, “it would be devastating for these athletes as well as the coaches,” she said.

Ciddio said without the Special Olympics, a community of athletes, families and caretakers would be at a loss. But, ultimately, it helps people look beyond the limitations of people with disabilities.

The Special Olympics have given Leyba “a sense of pride and accomplishment,” Ciddio said.

“He’s proud, and it’s something that he does.” He recently bowled a 183.

Leyba and Ciddio both encouraged the community to be involved in the Special Olympics.

“I am hoping more people can come out and participate for Special Olympics,” Leyba said. “I think everybody should have this kind of

Las Conchas fire— occurred in 2011. It burned 161 square miles near Los Alamos, or an area the size of the Island of Barbados.

The NCA report highlighted a California policy that limited water use and banned practices like watering after a rainfall. Water usage was reduced by 25 percent from 2014 to 2017.

Drought and high temperatures also affect food production. 10,000 jobs were lost because of a California drought while $900 million was

lost in uncultivated land, according to analysis by University of California, Davis.

“Food production depends on reliable surface and groundwater supplies,” the report said.

Farmers in New Mexico’s Gila river basin have switched to groundwater pumping when surface water supplies dwindle, leaving them more vulnerable as plants are unable to change with the climate.

Higher temperatures have also

lead to an increase in heat-associated deaths and illnesses.

In 2006, a heat wave in California was responsible for 600 deaths, according to an article published in the International Journal of Public Health.

by Congress and released by the White House.

experience. It’s a really fun program.

Everyone that joins has fun. I just hope more and more people join.”

He said he would like those with disabilities to know that a program is available to them.

“It is important for people with disabilities to know that they have the chance to play sports,” he said.

“This program was created for people with disabilities.”

Leyba will be graduating in the spring of 2018, but it is unclear what the future holds.

He said he would like to attend the Santa Fe Community College and hopes to one day work with films, specifically in costume design.

Although she is guiding him along the way, Ciddio said Leyba will be the final decision-maker along his path. She hopes he might participate in the KIVA program, and she also plans on contacting the Santa Fe Opera to ask if he might be able to volunteer or work with the group.

When asked what other hopes she has for her son in the future, she said, “Just to live his best life.

I will do everything that I can to make sure that that happens, not to settle for whatever society may think the way he should be.”

She said some of his dreams include working at Disneyland and moving to Hawaii.

“I tell him, once my youngest son graduates, we can do what he wants,” Ciddio said. “I’ll figure it out. I want to give him the opportunities to do whatever he wants, to live his dreams.”

Artists spoil albums by releasing too many singles

By Colton Newman @Coltonperson There’s no other experience like waking up on Friday morning and seeing a new album from an artist that I like to listen to. Sometimes I know they’re coming, there’s been promotions, ads, and usually a single leading up to it, sometimes it’s a complete surprise and for the most part I’m dying to consume all the new music that has been released into the world.

However, a disturbing trend amongst artists has begun. They have developed a habit of releasing an overflow of singles that spoils the first listen to their new albums.

This sacred moment of experiencing a collection of new music for the first time is under fire as artists feel the need to release half of their new albums in the form of singles, thus robbing fans of the magical experience that is an album first listen.

Now I know that I could just not listen to the singles until the whole album is out but, seeing a new song from someone is the equivalent of someone handing me a free slice of chocolate cake, and there is absolutely no way that I can turn that away.

Recent sinners include but are not limited to Lorde, Troye Sivan, The 1975 and G-Eazy. The long four years wait that many fans painfully drudged through during the release of Lorde’s “Pure Heroin” and “Melodrama” was broken when the

single “Green Light” was released.

“Green Light” was a great single and would’ve supplied enough anticipation alone to garner “Melodrama” the attention it needed to be successful but it’s unclear if it was her label’s choice or Lorde’s own that led to the seeming weekly release of song after song off “Melodrama.”

By the time her album had rolled around into the public’s headphones, singles “Green Light,” “Sober,” “Liability,” “Perfect Places” and “Homemade Dynamite” had all been released. Almost half of her album was out before the full product hit the shelves.

Both the intro and outro songs off of “Melodrama” were singles and left no surprise for how the al-

bum was going to open or close. It’s as if with every single release her album was left out on the kitchen table slowly spoiling in room temperature and by the time it’s full form was released it was already chunky and sour.

The 1975 are currently on a steady streak of overflowing the music world with singles off of their next album “A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships.” Their next project is slated for release next week on November 30, and at this point they have shoveled out five singles, “Give Yourself A Try,” “Love It If We Made It,” “TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME,” “Sincerity Is Scary” and “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You).”

At this point over 18 minutes of

their album is already released.

Is it their worry that no one is listening, their worry that they’re not getting enough attention or is it something else that is making these artists seemingly double or more precisely quintuple text their fan base with single after single?

All I know is that I’m sick of it. Just release your promotional single and then let the world judge your album. Can we go back to the day when a single was really a single and not half the freaking album?

Top five tracks to enjoy this holiday season

By Megan Holmen @megan_holmen Thanksgiving weekend is over and everyone is back to their usual bustle and hustle. However, the holiday season is upon us with Hanukkah and Christmas fast approaching. This is a collection of holiday tunes from a variety of genres and artists to suit your holiday mood.

“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy A swing take on the song “You’re a Mean One,” iconic to the book and movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss. The song describes the Grinch who is the least holiday spirited Who of Whoville. In this rendition of the sound saxophone, trumpet decorate the swing beat.

The middle of the song features a saxophone solo backed up by soft piano chords. The singer in the

song has a deep masculine voice, singing in a standard jazz style.

dren adding another dimension of innocence to the song.

“Lumberjack Christmas” by Sufjan Stevens

“Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah”

by Glee

In true Stevens style “Lumberjack Christmas” features banjo, violin, base and harmony.

The song also features a synth solo that sounds something like an alien invasion warning with gentle piano progressions in the background.

Like many holiday spirited songs it would not be complete without the background jingle of sleigh bells. It is unclear what Stevens means by this song, as one of his lyrics is “No one can save you from Christmases Past,” a darker lyric to accompany the upbeat tone of the song.

A fast tempoed reel to celebrate the eight nights of Hanukkah, leads with heavy percussion and guitar strumming. It then proceeds to half tempo while the lead singer describes the lighting of the menorah.

The song also breaks into an accordion solo during which clapping can be heard in the background. It is a bop.

“Happy Xmas (War is Over)”

by John Lennon Only John Lennon can combine anti-war song with a christmas carol.

Lennon’s unique and easily identifiable voice, combines with christmas

Collage includes images of artists from Glee, Sufjan Stevens and Mariah Carey.

caroler backup singers saying “war is over, if you want it.” Meanwhile Lennon sings “Happy Christmas, I hope you have fun.” while throwing in a wish for peace between racial groups too. While this song takes a slower tempo than other classic holiday songs the message behind the song is peace and harmony. The back up singers in this song are clearly chil-

“Greensleeves” by Mannheim Steamroller Greensleeves is a well known winter song and all sorts of renditions can be found.Depending on the source it is rumored that is rooted in both traditional Christian music and also traditional Pagan music that dates back to the 1500s. This take on the song is classic with oboe, clarinet, harp, flute, chimes and many stringed instru-

ments. Greensleeves is traditionally a slow tempo song and in this rendition there are no lyrics.

“All I Want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey Do I have to explain myself?

“Last Christmas” by Wham!

If you enjoy throwback hits than this is the song for you. Although this song has been remade dozens of times it originally came out in 1984. This Christmas song tells the story of heartbreak when the singer “gave you my heart but the very next day, you gave it away.” The song features percussion, guitar, harmonized lyrics and organ chords.
