Voters approve pronoun initiative Constitutional amendment gets 81 percent

By David Lynch

At last week’s Associated Students of UNM elections, voters passed a constitutional amendment that will make all pronouns in the ASUNM Constitution gender-neutral.

All pronouns in the constitution will now consist of they/ them/they’re as the primary form of identification.

ASUNM President Rachel Williams said she sees the amendment as a big step towards campus-wide inclusiveness for students who may want to serve in ASUNM to feel more welcome.

“It’s about comfort at the end of the day,” she said. “Should we have a student who does identify as gender-neutral who comes into ASUNM and is participating any way (not feel) like the Constitution is binary and exclusive and they don’t really feel like they’re as much as a part of it as they could be just because a couple of words that are very obviously easily changed?”

Amendments, per ASUNM

policy, require a two-thirds vote by elections voters to pass. That number was widely surpassed as 987 of the 1,528 who made it to the polls voted in favor of the change, while only 225 voted against, amounting to 81 percent of voters who voted on the amendment being in favor.

The amendment was originally proposed in fall 2013 and put on the ballot for that semester’s elections, but it failed. Williams attributed that to the abundance of amendments on the ballot semester, leading to voter fatigue. “(There was) just way too much on the ballot that they didn’t really care,” she said.

Sen. Kyle Biederwolf re-introduced the proposed amendment in February and it passed the Senate.

Frankie Flores, administrative assistant at the LGBTQ Resource Center, attributes the change in student sentiment to growing awareness about the transgender community.

IFDM film project reaches goal

By Lauren Marvin Reaching a goal can cause jubilation, but for some, it can even help pave the road for the future.

The fifth cohort of the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media program is finishing up “Jubilation,” a live-action short film, which has taken more than nine months to complete.

The fifth IFDM cohort raised $3,940, more than any other in the past, by crowdfunding and spreading awareness for the project through social media, as well as talking to businesses and family members.

Aroonsri Khamsamran, a senior IFDM major and director of “Jubiliation,” said she and many other teammates began the project with the intention of being trailblazers.

“So this is an accomplished goal that we wanted to reach, the cohort that every other co-

hort wanted to follow and reach up to us,” Khamsamran said. “We are happy that we met one of the goals and totally kicked butt.”

According to a press release, there were 80 crew members from UNM and CNM working on the project.

One of the struggles they faced, Khamsamran said, was being introduced to the CNM students right before filming started.

“The hard part is that, there are from a different school and trying to build a relationship where there is trust among both crews is definitely a challenge.

But we worked really well with them,” she said.

However, the IFDM program and teachers helped the students by providing guidance, support, equipment and a budget of $500, she said.

Miguel Gandert, director of the IFDM program, said crowdfunding is completely up to the

crew members, but the IFDM program helps the students in any way possible such as building props.

“It just shows how they are really getting into the film industry the way people do in the real world. There’s been whole entire feature films that have been funded by crowdsourcing.

So there are just using the tools that are available to them and I encourage it,” Gandert said.

Producing a capstone film at the end of college will help the students obtain jobs because of the quality of the films and also teach collaboration, he said. The collaboration between CNM and UNM help balance the strengths and weaknesses of both programs.

CNM teaches students below the line jobs in the film industry such as carpenters and gaffers,

Campus guests’ vans burglarized at Soccer Complex

www.gatheringofnations.com

A group of 64 out-of-town visitors left the UNM Soccer Complex with their six passenger vans burglarized, according to a UNM Police Department report.

The report stated every piece of luggage in the six vehicles was stolen. The stolen items included wallets, identification cards, cell phones, iPads, luggage and airline tickets. The police reports were completed and acquired by the Daily Lobo on Monday.

Lt. Tim Stump, UNMPD’s

public information officer, said Monday seven of the bags were found in a trash can near the stadium and all of burglaries are believed to be connected.

Most of the victims were visiting student athletes but the coaches were targeted as well, he said.

According to the report, two of the vans had the passenger side window broken and the others had the passenger side door lock punched out with a tool.

“It seems lately a lot of locks have been punched out. Maybe it’s a new trend or maybe it’s

been going on for awhile and it’s hitting UNM,” Stump said.

There were no fingerprints left on any of the vehicles. According to the report, it appeared as if the suspect or suspects were wearing gloves by the imprints left on the vehicles.

Stump said it looked as if the suspect or suspects had burglarized vehicles in the past but would not speculate further about the possibility of professionals. Also, it is unknown if there were multiple suspects.

“It is unusual. I think some-

one found an opportunity. There were a lot of victims under that one incident. That is unusual,” Stump said.

There were no UNM police officers stationed at the event, he said. However, for more popular events such as football and basketball there are several police officers working the event.

“I hope with events like this people will just be more aware.

There’s not a lot someone could do if there is nobody watching the van. The only thing people can do is be more vigilant,” Stump said.

The Athletics Department and UNMPD are working to strengthen communication between the departments in order for officers to be more visible during events, he said.

There are no suspects at this time and the case is closed pending further leads.

Williams said that the language in the constitution will

also now be more uniform with the ASUNM Law Book, in which terms like “they” and “the body” are used.

Williams said she’s excited that both governing documents of ASUNM will now be gender-neutral.

“I 100 percent throw my weight behind this and I’m so happy that 81 percent of the

voters agreed that this was something that our constitution needed to see,” she said.

UNM was recently ranked 17th by BestColleges.com for providing outreach and resources to LGBTQ students.

Flores said that the amendment continues to lead that initiative of working towards a more inclusive campus.

“I think that other organizations are going to be much more mindful of making sure the language is as inclusive as possible,” he said.

quality product,” Gandert said.

Every cohort embarks on projects during their senior year.

In the past some students have done animation, films, live-action theater and video games, he said.

Jannell Murray, a senior IFDM major and screenwriter for “Jubilation,” said the inspiration for the film came from a conversation about the existence of paradise.

After three months the script was complete and the crew moved onto the casting then filming, she said.

“Writing a script, most of the struggle comes from just wanting it to be perfect.

Wanting that perfection and trying to keep our minds kind of unbiased and clear,” Murray said.

Working on “Jubilation”

has helped Murray by being a foundational learning experience and has provided a clearer understanding of independent filmmaking and student film making, she said.

Where the course of history changed Visitors take in history during biannual Trinity Site tour

By Timothy P. Howsare WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE — It only happens twice a year.

For one Saturday in April and another in October, the White Sands Missile Range opens its gates to curious out-ofstate tourists and state residents alike who wish to visit the Trinity Site, a barren patch of land about 60 miles northeast of Alamogordo.

Aside from the pyramid-shaped stone monument and what remains of an enormous steel bomb casing called Jumbo, there’s really not a whole lot to see after driving through what seems like endless miles of flatlands on the missile range.

So what’s the attraction? It is the historical significance of the Trinity Site.

This is where the first atomic bomb was exploded on July 16, 1945.

Less than a month after that successful test, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, giving the Japanese no choice but to surrender and end World War II. The bombs killed 129,000 people, and after 70 years, remain the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare.

Those events ushered in the nuclear age and forever changed the course of humanity.

Even after the nuclear disarmament

that followed the Cold War, there are still enough bombs left to annihilate every living being on the planet.

Hundreds of people flocked to the Trinity Site on April 4, many taking selfies or photos of spouses and family members in front of the monument that marks Ground Zero. Jumbo, which ultimately was not used to case the bomb, got its fair share of photo ops as well.

Visitors also got to tour the McDonald-Schmidt Ranch House, the place where scientists assembled the bomb’s plutonium core. The house is located two miles from Ground Zero.

The 51,500-acre area, which includes Ground Zero, the McDonald-Schmidt Ranch House and the base camp where the scientists and support group lived, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.

In 1984, the National Park Service restored the deteriorating ranch house to appear as it did in 1945.

Though the National Park Service has for decades wanted to take the site under its umbrella, the U.S. Army still manages the site, said Sue Taylor, curator at New Mexico Museum of Space History.

Taylor said the Army has not been willing to turn over that much real estate to the NPS. Furthermore, there

are obvious security concerns. The site is located well within the boundaries of a highly classified military installation.

Though visitors can take photos at the site, they are strictly forbidden from snapping pictures as they travel to and from the location.

The Army, which has had visitors to the test site since 1953, has done an admirable job maintaining the site and has a cooperative agreement with the NPS, Taylor said.

The visits used to be in July, closer to the actual date of the test, but it was decided that July was too hot. Now, visitors can come to the site one day in April and one day in October. The next date in 2015 is Oct. 3.

The latest tour started at 6 a.m. when the buses arrived at the museum parking lot. This particular morning was special not just because of the trip to the Trinity Site, but also because a lunar eclipse was visible in the western sky.

For $70 per person, the museum, located in Alamogordo, led a tour to the site that included two chartered buses, lunch and knowledgeable museum staff like Taylor who provided history and background on the bomb test. The museum’s tour was sold out, with 110

Fair features organic, locally grown produce GMOs, chemicals in factory-produced food said to ‘fog the lens of life’

By Kevin Haaf Once in a while, an event takes place that breathes new life into the barren storehouses and broken windows of the Albuquerque Rail Yards.

On Saturday, that event was the Naked Food Fair.

The fair was a market where people brought locally grown organic food for sampling and purchase. More than 20 businesses came together, both local and from out of state, to present their product and give talks on the importance of treating the body right.

Jeff Masters, founder and director of Thunder Mountain Wellness, an organization focused on alternative healing, said the body was the lens of experience.

It is important to know what is going into your body because poor food and exercise decisions could fog that lens and cloud one’s experience of the world, he said. Putting healthy, organic food into the body allows people to purify themselves and to be more present.

“Life is precious and you want be able to get as much out of every moment as possible and if the food that you’re putting in your body is actually muddying that lens and taking away from the vibrancy and the beauty of what you’re experiencing, you want to change that,” Masters said.

Chiraya Fox, founder and director of the Pure Life Expo and Convention, said eating organic food is important for the health of our bodies and the health of the environment.

She said the chemicals put on non-organic food not only get into the body, but

also affect the ecology of animal life and infiltrate our environment.

Everything in the environment is interconnected, she said. When food is grown with chemicals, those chemicals go not only into our bodies but also the soil. From the soil, it pollutes the water and then evaporates to pollute the air.

Bob Grzywacz, owner of Valley Seed, an Albuquerque farm focusing on heirloom seeds, said the term “organic” is a designation with actual regulation. He said that organic foods are foods grown without chemicals such as pesticides and chemicals.

“Why would you want to eat something that’s full of things you can’t pronounce, was mass-produced in a factory, and had to travel hundreds of miles to get to you?”

Grzywacz said.

It’s better to eat something that’s not chemically fed or produced, he said. He recalled an experience where he bought tomatoes at a store because they were perfectly shaped and shaded, but those tomatoes lacked the flavor that he had become accustomed to.

“Once you’re hooked on organic food, I think you’re hooked for life,” Grzywacz said Alicia Webb, resident stage manager for Duke City Repertory Theater, said there’s intersectionality between local and organic.

She pointed out that not all local foods are organic and not all organic foods are local.

“Organic food is great. If you see a tomato, you know you’re getting a tomato and nothing else. I love that. I don’t know what the organic standards are, but if I see the organic label, I get that. It’s important

Constitutional convention unnecessary

By Thomas L. Knapp

Supporters of a national constitutional convention, as provided for in Article V of the U.S. Constitution, have gained the support of 27 state legislatures for the idea. They need 34.

Republicans and Democrats are at war both with each other and within their own parties over the proposal.

Some Republicans want such a convention for the purpose of getting a “balanced budget” amendment.

Some Democrats also want a convention for the purpose of overturning the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and regulating political campaign spending.

Some members of both parties fear that a convention might get out

of hand, producing unforeseen results. History says these Cassandras are correct.

In May of 1787, delegates from 12 of the 13 states met in Philadelphia to propose amendments to the young nation’s Articles of Confederation.

With Rhode Island boycotting and the Articles requiring ratification by all 13 states to amend, the idea looked dead on arrival.

But the Philadelphia convention was, in essence, the first stage of a coup d’etat. Instead of proposing amendments for unanimous consent, the delegates rolled out plans to abandon the Articles for an entirely new system of government, peremptorily re-setting the bar for their new “Constitution.” It would,

they announced, become effective upon ratification by only nine states.

For better or worse, they pulled it off. The U.S. Constitution has been “the supreme law of the land” since 1789.

A new constitutional convention is a bad idea for two reasons, both rooted in our history.

The first reason, as outlined above, is that regardless of the reasons for calling such a convention, it would likely end up recommending amendments above and beyond — or contrary to — those its promoters contemplate. It could even go rogue, as Philadelphia’s cabal did.

The second reason is that, just as the existing Constitution is more honored in the breach than in the

Year Zero

observance, any amendments moved by a new convention and ratified by the states would be similarly treated.

New government powers created by the new amendments would be vigorously used. New limits on government power so created would simply be ignored.

We don’t need a balanced budget amendment. If Congress wanted to balance the budget, it would do so.

If the Constitution requires it to do so and forbids it to borrow money, the politicians will find a way. There will likely be an exception for times of war, so they’ll just declare war and never undeclare it. Or they’ll just print money and give it to themselves to spend, inflating the money in our pockets as a hidden tax.

As far as money in politics is concerned, there’s no chance whatsoever of reining that in.

Money always finds open wallets to worm its way into, constitutions and laws notwithstanding.

If the promoters of a constitutional conventionplacesomuchimportance on the U.S. Constitution, perhaps they should turn their attention to making America’s politicians obey it as it exists. That would be a good start toward meaningful change.

FIVE & WHY What Lobos love to watch with

Pablo Colon

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

There are some fairly violent anime. The main character lives with the people on Earth. He changes from a hardened killer into a human. On Earth he is allowed to enjoy life, have friends and take care of families, free will and choose what to do with life. No individuals, just military units. The people exist to fight against the “aliens.” In real life the military has an important role to play. With how things are right know I don’t know about current things but there’s always a fight somewhere.”

2. “Darker than Black” directed, created and written

by Tensai Okamura “The story structure goes to subsections. The art-style fighting sequence is well choreographed.

The ending for the second season was confusing. If I was a contractor, my power would be able to absorb force and repel it back on my enemy. The price would be writing papers.”

“Puppy love is what the entire show is about. All animated. The coolest thing in the world when I was a kid. My favorite character is probably the grandpa. Funny guy. I personally like the fighting relationship with the characters. Most important aspect is the relationship between the main characters. Better than any of these shows. The end is pretty good and you know where their relationship is going. I’m here for a romantic sort of conclusion. I don’t want to be left hanging. Offer me a carrot then rip it away.”

4. ”Baccano!” written by Ryogo Narita “Probably if you aren’t paying attention you have no idea where you are. Not a linear story, really confusing. I like the voice acting with people talking in Brooklyn accents. Doesn’t feel right when you listen to it in Japanese. My favorite character is Rail Tracer.

He protects the passengers and kills the bad guys, which makes

him a hero despite being a psychopathic killer. The couple that becomes immortal is in ‘Durarara!’ It makes sense that they would be in another show since they are immortal. It was made by the same people as ‘Baccanno!’ The show has two stories: On the train and then in New York. The immortality is a special kind of hell to see everyone you know die slowly.

Immortals have to be eaten by another Immortal. There are so many characters the show is mentally engaging and forces you to pay attention. Any other show would be hectic and long, linear.”

5. ”RahXephon” written by Takeaki Momose “Many people say that is a copy of ‘Evangelion.’ It’s kind of not normal. The Mecha are claybased and the main character makes music to make the world better. He is called an instrumentalist. The main character uses RahXephon to change the world for the better. I watched it when I was five or six, and I watched it again recently. It is 1999 based artwork, but it was all hand drawn and there isn’t any CG. CG clashes with art and looks bad. Some are done well and others are not effectively done. The main character think he’s growing then he messes up.

He is supposed to merge with the spirit of RahXephon. My favorite character is the old guy. For most of the show he is the wise one that is playing a game or doing calligraphy. My favorite part was when RahXephon reveals himself. He looks like a big person with face wings. When I first saw it I thought it was so cool.

The first three episodes were a blur for me. The main character is teleported into an egg. The bad Mecha try and get him but ends up having his face melt. It’s awesome. I saw it again recently and still enjoyed it.”

people reserving all the seats on both buses.

From the museum parking lot the two buses traveled to Tularosa High School, where they met up with other buses and 140 cars filled with people who also were traveling to the site. The plan was for all of the buses and cars to travel together in one long caravan.

Everyone’s ID had to be checked. Usually, the museum staff said, the caravan would begin its journey by 8 a.m., but because so many people had showed up in cars the caravan didn’t leave the parking lot until 8:30 a.m.

The museum staff attributed the large turnout to 2015 marking the 70th anniversary of the test.

While in the parking lot, the Daily Record spoke to a man from Portales who said his father, Lt. Col. John M. Banks, had worked with scientists at the site.

“I remember him telling us about the testing,” Tom Banks said.

Banks said this was his first time visiting the site.

Though there’s nothing funny

about bombs blowing up, Banks did recall a story his father told him and his sister that ended up with a somewhat happy ending.

A guided missile that was launched on the testing range went out of control and crossed over the border into Mexico.

Banks’ father with his crew in the bunker knew that when the missile fell back to earth, it would go kaboom. They all figured they’d have an international incident on their hands. (“Sorry Mr. President. We didn’t mean to attack Mexico.”)

As predicted, the missile crashed, exploded and bodies were scattered everywhere.

But all of the bodies were already dead, as the missile crashed into a cemetery and not a single living person was killed.

As the caravan pulled out onto the roadway, a group of protesters know as “Downwinders” held up signs.

The Downwinders claim that ever since the 1945 test took place, generations of their families have suffered from cancer caused by the radioactive fallout.

While the federal government has compensated uranium mine

workers and test site workers who became sick from radiation exposure, only a handful of civilians living near test sites have ever been compensated.

Although no information was released on the Trinity test until after the bombs were dropped in Japan, people in New Mexico knew something big had happened.

The shockwave broke windows 120 miles away and was felt by many at least 160 miles away. Army officials told the public that a munitions storage area had exploded on the testing range, which back then was called the Alamogordo Bombing Range.

When the bomb was detonated at 5:29:45 a.m., the light flash was so bright that a blind girl traveling 50 miles north of the site with her family said she “saw” the blast.

On the morning of July 16, 1945, the “sun rose twice” and destiny was forever changed.
