UNM to confront mental health issues Regents discuss budget, DOJ

By Elizabeth Sanchez @Beth_A_Sanchez

“More than 43 million adults in the United States struggled with mental illness in the past year. Half of us will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition at some point in our lives, and one quarter by the age of 14,” said SHAC Public Information Representative

Maya Trujillo, citing the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

In the wake of such high statistics, this Thursday, University of New Mexico will be hosting free, annual mental health screenings from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the SHAC on Main Campus and at the UNM Law School on North Campus.

Open to all UNM students, the training includes a written self-assessment and a one-

on-one meeting with mental health professionals. Anyone who appears to need additional assistance will be referred to other local services.

The self-assessment forms can be filled out online or on-site at various tables. Students also have the option to pick up the forms, take them elsewhere and return them later that day, Trujillo said.

Trujillo, a graduate student study-

ing public administration, helped promote and coordinate the event.

“Some studies suggest that there is an increasing number of students who struggle with getting treatment for their mental health issues in college,” said UNM Children’s Campus Education and Development Manager Lisa Ortiz. “It has also been noted

New report assesses UNM’s pay gap UNM Main Campus salary of full, associate and assistant professors in percentage, women v men in 2004-05

UNM Main Campus salary of full, associate and assistant professors in percentage, women v men in 2014

Percentage of what women earn compared to men

91.8%

By Jonathan Natvig @Natvig99 Much has been said at varying levels about the pay gap between different genders and ethnicities in certain industries, but when factoring in rank and field of study, women and minority faculty are almost paid equally to men at UNM. However, according to a report analyzing base pay of faculty from the Office of the Provost, men are more likely to be promoted to full professorships, while salaries for women and minorities become less “competitive over time.”

In 2007, the UNM Economics Department conducted an analysis of faculty compensation for the Office of the Provost and found that — on average, without looking at rank and field of study — women faculty earned 87 percent compared to the salaries of white, non-Hispanic men.

Yet, when rank and field of study are taken into account, the gap becomes much smaller at 1.7 percent.

The 2007 study reported, “Human capital and department affiliation account for most – but

94%

Wage gap

not all – of these raw gaps. After controlling human capital and department affiliation, a gender gap of 1.7 percent remains, and a 4.4 percent gap opens for African American faculty at the University level.”

In addition, the 2016 Provost’s report “contracted the Bureau of Business and Economic Research to assess” pay gaps based on race and gender.

The research found that, when faculty salaries are averaged across the board without looking at rank and field of study, women faculty members at UNM make about 15 percent less than men.

Meanwhile, when rank and field of study are included, “women faculty of any race” have salaries that are .7 percent higher than white, non-Hispanic males in 2016.

Carol Parker, UNM’s senior vice provost and author of the preliminary report cited above, said that looking at salary averages without taking into account other variables can be misleading.

When averages are examined — without accounting for rank, field of study and overall head count —

it becomes very hard to measure progress and understand what factors are causing discrepancies.

Moreover, having accurate data is critical for making the right moves forward, Parker said.

“Holding consistent factors, such as academic field and years since terminal degree, salaries of female assistant and associate professors are 1.2 percent higher than those of white, non-Hispanic males of the same rank, while salaries of female full professors are 1.4 percent lower than those of more numerous white, non-Hispanic males,” the 2016 report states.

Parker said the data from last year suggests that women and minority faculty are not promoted as often as white male faculty, and UNM may need to look more closely at how minorities and women are promoted to see if a double standard exists.

According to the 2016 report, male professors “are more likely than female faculty to have ranks of full or distinguished professor (39 percent male vs. 22 percent female), reflecting a legacy of the 1980s and earlier.”

The 2016 report noted that a trend of males being overrepresented at the full professor level has begun to reverse.

“One of the problems we know we need to address is the fact that if somebody starts out at an uncompetitive rate, it becomes very difficult to move them up over time because of our fiscal challenges,” Parker said.

The data from the Provost’s report makes it clear that it cannot be assumed that minority professors always make less than their white male counterparts.

In fact, the compensation picture is very complex, containing many variables, and averages do not accurately portray faculty compensation discrepancies.

For instance, according to the 2016 report, at all ranks the “very small number of black faculty” are compensated between 1.6 and 8.1 percent more than white male faculty, yet Hispanic males and females make between 1.2 and 4.7 percent less than white men.

Moreover, “Best illustrating

Search begins The search for UNM’s new president will begin soon, Regents Vice President Marron Lee said at Tuesday’s Board of Regents meeting, adding that it will be a regent-led effort and they hope to form a committee to assist in the vetting process.

The committee would contain members from various campus departments. Departments are required to give a list of at least five names they deem worthy of the position, and nominations may be submitted to search@unm.edu.

UNM administrators are also encouraged to nominate potential members, she said.

Community input is requested for what the public feels the position description for UNM president should entail, Lee said.

Recommendations can be submitted at presidentialsearch.unm.edu.

Officials hope to have a new president in office by June 1, 2017, she said.

DOJ report updates President Bob Frank’s administrative report included details of the agreement reached between the Department of Justice and UNM on Monday. The agreement is for three years and aims to address campus sexual harassment and misconduct.

The DOJ has investigated the campus sexual assault policies for the last three years prior to signing the agreement, revealing in a spring report a system of inadequate and confusing policies that victims of alleged sexual harassment have been forced to rely on.

“The agreement is not an ending, it is a beginning,” Frank said. “It is an opportunity to move forward together to make campus a caring and safe educational environment.”

UNM has taken steps to meet high standards and strengthen its prevention of and response to sexual harassment, he said.

The agreement outlines policies the University will need to adopt in order to meet compliance.

Those include mandatory sexual harassment training for all students, key staff and faculty,

that students are not getting evaluations they need to identify illnesses early that are highly treatable, such as depression or anxiety. When students do not seek treatment, it can directly impact their performance and persistence in school, as well as have negative health outcomes.”

Ortiz, who earned a bachelor’s degree at UNM in psychology and sociology in 2003, said the screenings will provide data needed for mental health assessments as well as access to mental health care for students.

“It is essential to highlight the importance of mental health, provide services that will support student health and well-being and continue to collect data and respond to the needs of our community,” she said.

Taylor Renegar, a sophomore psychology major, said that by assisting in identifying mental disorders, these screenings can also spark ideas as to how to treat the issues a student may be facing.

UNM alumna Erika Riojas, who teaches at the UNM Children’s Campus, said she believes the mental health

screenings will be a positive asset for UNM staff and students.

Mental health screenings can help diagnose depression, schizophrenia, dementia and other mental ailments, she said.

Riojas and Renegar said they feel that data collected during these screenings can also assist other members of the community, and the information collected during such screenings have the potential to also benefit psychological studies.

Riojas said such information can further help psychologists run better tests and assessments.

“These tests are great for helping employers understand their employees by being able to offer different ways to learn.

Providing these services to students is beneficial to help students better understand themselves or others,” she said.

Renegar also said having mental health screenings readily available on campus can provide students with the assistance they need, especially if they have not been able to access such resources in the past.

This can increase overall student

body health and happiness, she said.

“Being aware and educated is important with any aspect of our health,” Trujillo said. “Our brains and emotions especially; sometimes, we forget our mental health is just as important as (our) physical health.”

Trujillo hopes the screenings will educate the UNM community and increase community members’ awareness of their own mental health status as well as the SHAC’s mental and physical health resources, she said.

For Ortiz, mental health screenings will grant students an opportunity to have “essential information” about their mental and emotional well-being and hopefully identify warning signs or early signs of ailments that should be addressed by professionals.

“Overall, it will hopefully have a positive impact on their wellbeing and support students in seeking out needed services,” Ortiz said. “College can be an overwhelming experience and leave students feeling anxious and stressed. Identifying warning signs and early intervention is essential

and may lead to better outcomes mentally as well as academically.”

Although mental health screenings are not equivalent to a complete evaluation, the screenings can help students determine whether their symptoms are similar to those found in: anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, eating

disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder. Anonymous self-screening tests can also be accessed at: http:// shac.unm.edu/self-help-tools.html.

accreditation has set before them.

Main Campus is currently above the standards for accreditation in terms of student success, six-year graduation rates and post-graduate success, having reached record marks associated with those metrics in recent years.

“This will show the value of the UNM degree,” Frank said.

The University’s continuing budget woes have been the main topic in executive meetings.

The Office of Budget, Planning and Analysis outlined its goals for upcoming years to address budget cuts, staggering revenue and dwindling reserves.

“Reserves are declining overall at the University of New Mexico,” according to a report from the office.

Reserves should be used for student success support, current revenue challenges, or one-time uses for budget shortfalls until

permanent budget strategies can be implemented, according to the letter.

Athletics in a slump Regent Thomas Clifford requested specific recommendations to address the athletic program’s deficit. He said this year’s budget needs to be consistently updated to reflect future budget expectations.

In response, Andrew Cullen of the Office of Budget, Planning and Analysis said UNM officials are holding off on staff hires and minimizing travel. Athletics projected fewer tickets sales for football and basketball this year, which reflects a trend seen in the 2015 fiscal year.

Ticket sales for UNM football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball, fell short to the tune of a combined $900,000 according to the budget report.

“In order to remain competitive, we provided student athletes

with cost-of-attendance, which impacted our budget by $200,000,” according to UNM reports.

Travel expenses continue to rise due to the expansion of the Mountain West Conference and the ensuing need to travel farther, which also raises team operating costs.

More cuts possible When asked about the possibility of cutting high-level executive salaries, the budget office said that they had not gathered the data, but will compile necessary information for the next meeting.

Reorganization of HSC and Main Campus staffing will allow $2 million to be saved for a five percent budget cut coming later this year.

The restructuring comes from vacant staff positions not being filled, with extra duties re-assigned to existing staff members.

According to the budget report,

UNM regents will also be taking a 15 percent cut for the 2016-2017 fiscal year.

A five percent budget cut for all public universities was recently passed in a special legislative session called for by Gov. Susana Martinez.

For fiscal year 2016, expenses outweighed revenues, resulting in the University being $617 million more in the red than the year before.

The upcoming year is expected to add an additional $458 million to the debt.

New Mexico saw a revenue reduction of $348 million for fiscal year 2016, leaving the state $131 million in debt. New Mexico is to see a $556 million revenue reduction for fiscal year 2017.

Students will be required to take the training once a year every year, a requirement UNM must meet by December of 2017.

When asked about how the trainings will be funded — they are expected to cost about $1.5 million — Frank said UNM administration has “no idea where the money will come from.”

“We are absolutely committed to meeting the standards of the agreement,” he said. “I believe we are a better campus for it.”

HSC releases new child safety app

By Sarah Trujillo @sarahtweets_abq Associates and students at UNM’s Health Sciences Center have developed a smartphone app that engages visual aids to teach how to prevent injuries and hazards to children in the household.

The app stems from the Child Ready Program, which was made possible through a federally funded grant awarded to New Mexico and border regions of Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Mexico.

The goal is to engage with local communities and tribes to invent, plan, and disperse pediatric emergency care specifically catered to local factors.

A small tech team of graduate students worked under Robert Sapien, professor of emergency medicine, and Joan Caldwell, pediatric nurse and graphic designer.

Sapien said feedback at community meetings guided the idea behind the app, as families were asked if they felt ready to take care of their children in the event of a serious illness or injury.

As a result of this feedback, injury prevention stood out as an area that called for action.

New Mexico’s children have a higher risk of injury because of the social climate, according to Sapien and state data, affecting rates of childhood well-being and impoverishment.

“Anytime you have social determinants of health such as poverty and lack of education, that contributes to poor health in general,” he said. “That puts the child at risk for more injuries.”

Another major issue they are addressing in this state is lack of availability of resources in rural areas, Sapien said, adding that native children are at an even higher risk of injury over the general population.

To combat this, a Virtual

Pediatric Emergency Department Telehealth Network program was invented as a teaching tool for clinicians in rural areas who can benefit from a simulated presence.

This program also eliminates the need for families in these rural communities to travel to the city for healthcare.

The safety app available to the public has an open visual layout that can be taken on tour, further into each room of the house — as well as outside — with potential danger spots dotted with hazard icons.

Caldwell said she came up with the idea after using 3-D software she developed to design her own home.

There are 88 items that can be harmful to children, she said, as she has seen almost all of them and their consequences firsthand, which have the potential to be disabling and even fatal.

“From burns to drowning in a bucket of water, to moms curling their hair — children are being drowned in the bathtub by being left alone,” Caldwell said. “A child died eating a grape.”

Caldwell also sees injuries outsides the household; for example, if a child stays outside the home or with a relative who may not have recently or often taken care of children.

Caldwell also said she knows that education is most efficient through the use of visuals.

“If I gave you a list of all the things that were a problem in your home, you would probably skim through and wouldn’t comprehend it,” Caldwell said. “So having a visual plan to go through each one, not only do you remember it, you actually see what it looks like and somehow your brain remembers. It’s so much more effective.”

According to Caldwell, many children that die of injuries are actually quite healthy.

“Kids don’t die of natural causes

often, they die of a lot of injuries because children require supervision,” Caldwell said.

“We’re always trying to educate but we really hope that this makes a difference overall because I think that we miss a lot,” Caldwell said.

“We’re really trying to reach those situations because children really deserve to have a healthy life.”

Caldwell said she’s eager to see this tool widely used so it can reach families that can truly benefit from it.

“I have visions of pediatricians offices having handouts, every time a baby is born the family gets a flyer saying ‘download now,’” Caldwell said. “Even discharge instructions.”

The Child Home Ready Safety Tool App is available for download on Google Play and is currently being developed for iOS, set to be completed by the end of the year.

Sapien said Telehealth is not just for pediatric emergencies — even the simplest questions can be asked.

“A lot of times people think of ‘oh this kid’s really sick, we’ll use Telehealth,” Sapien said. “But we want it to be used if they have a regular question about the child.

‘What do you think this rash is?’

They don’t have to be critically ill to give my opinion of what that rash is, so that’s how we’re constructing it.”

Sapien said because of the amount of detail and content, the app is a tremendous asset.

“I’m the principal investigator for the grant on the project, but it’s really the tech team and Joan Caldwell that spearheaded this,” Sapien said. “They did incredible work and it has so much content in there. It has the potential to really save some lives.”

Parker said. “This was the third assessment of Main Campus faculty compensation rates within the last 10 years. Each time we make these assessments we see the gaps getting smaller – and they are now very small – but more work lies ahead.”

To Parker, understanding faculty salaries at UNM requires an in-depth look at the individual faculty member in relation to rank, department, academic career and other factors.

This new allocation of money will help UNM officials better understand what is needed to decrease wage discrepancies, she said.

“We will assess the full impact of the most recent round of salary adjustments, down to the level of the departments, to measure their effectiveness at moving us closer to our compensation goals,” Parker said, adding that UNM plans to see if compensation policies might be outdated.

Eliza Lawler, a freshman biochemistry and foreign languages

double major, said ze believed it is important for UNM to make sure there is as little of a wage gap as possible.

“As a student, it’s important that women faculty be paid equally, as they do the same work and should be compensated appropriately,” Lawler said. “Women and non-binary professors are equally capable as their male counterparts, and they each bring their unique skill set to the classroom, which would be impoverished if they were not there.”

Lawler said pay gaps could potentially discourage female professors to pursue a position in academia.

“As a non-binary person in a STEM major, I have noticed a distinct lack of women and nonbinary people like me,” Lawler said. “It’s isolating to be one of a few. Pay gaps drive away female teachers, which furthers that sense of isolation.”

the complexity of these patterns, salaries of female Native American faculty are between 0.7 percent and 3.2 percent lower than white, non-Hispanic males, depending on rank,” the report states, while salaries of male Native American faculty are about one percent higher than the same group.

Earnings of both female and minority faculty are more equal for lower ranks like assistant and associate positions as well.

For the last several years UNM has worked on further closing these wage gaps between gender and race, Parker said.

UNM, as of last year, allocated $600,000, in part to compensate faculty salaries that were below national averages. Some of that money went directly to closing inconsistencies based on gender and race.

“Our preliminary analysis of the adjustments showed that proportionately more of the adjustments were directed to women and minorities in the senior ranks, as was intended,”

LETTERS Hacked Clinton emails a convenient distraction Editor, Beware the hacker who first reads your confidential stuff, then alters –- through even false “redacts” – certain choice docs subtly but with incendiary results, before releasing them through a leaking outfit. He could alter World History.

The matter has come up because the Clinton campaign is not saying Clinton’s

Men should be less afraid of same-sex romantic feelings Editor, Millions of men, including many who love their wives and girlfriends, are terrified of having family and friends find out that they want sex with men.

Some try to smother their desire with religion. Some yell “faggot” at gays. Some curse and bully gays. Some kill themselves with booze or a bullet. Some, like Omar Mateen in

hacked stuff is authentic or not. Maybe they are; maybe they aren’t. Have they been tampered with? By definition, how would we ever know? Would they say, “Yes, this is the speech Hillary gave to Goldman Sachs, but Hillary did not use those exact words”?

The campaign understandably does not want the voting public to dwell too much on the hacking. (It is a mistake however for the Clinton-supporting Obama administration to not go after the Russians right away and consequence them in a “huge” manner and not wait till after the election.)

So there is earth-shaking hacking, and

then there are the enablers of the result of hacking. A relevant example is Ecuador, in whose embassy Clinton-hating Assange (the WikiLeaks founder) is holed up, which has now finally severed Assange’s Internet link.

Assange’s leaks of Russian hacking are causing Ecuador to indirectly “interfere in [our] electoral processes,” as Ecuador now admits. It has cut off his Internet likely because it does not want to get sued by Clinton as the small and poor country it is.

Should Clinton lose as a result, Trump will win and world history will for sure be altered for the worse, because the fascist

right in America will finally prevail in the same manner that far right in Austria with its longstanding Nazi sympathizers, is now likely to come into power, all through the electoral process.

And the world will get caught up and blown up as a result of espionage through a vicious spiral of hack-n-alter to where the truth in vital matters will be out the window and the resulting mass delusions will create incendiary vectors that lead to unwitting wars.

Florida, murder LGBT persons.

Five years ago, a longtime dear friend told me he wanted sex with me for the first time, but not a relationship. He said if I told anyone, he would kill me and maybe kill himself.

I did not have sex with him.

I want to celebrate sex with a friend, not hide it as a poison secret to keep him from killing me and himself. As he left my home that day, he told me “I love you,” maybe the only time since I met him 39 years before.

The next day he was dead from a violent attack on the street. I was devastated! I deeply loved him!

A gay Anglo told me that a married Chicano had picked a fight with him. Later they were both at the same party. As the night wore on, they got it on — not with fists, but in sex. The married Chicano went home to his wife, then returned to the gay Anglo for more sex.

The gay Anglo asked him, “If you had these feelings for me, why did you pick a fight with me?” The married Chicano answered honestly: “I could not let my friends know.”

If I am sexually attracted to a man with a wife or girlfriend and if he is sexually attracted to me, I hesitate to have sex with him. I

do not want him lying to her and getting in fights with her because of me, if she does not know about and accept his bisexuality.

Many married men feel they have the right to have sex with other women or men, but they demand their wives to have sex with no other men or women under the threat of divorce or violence.

I want any bisexual man I have sex with to be honest and fair with his wife or girlfriend.

No lies! No double standards!

UNM law program welcomes new director

By Brendon Gray @notgraybrendon

Rodina Parnall, the former senior policy advisor to the assistant secretary of Indian Affairs, is joining the American Indian Law Center as the assistant director for the PreLaw Summer Institute for American Indians and Alaskan Natives.

PSLI is an intensive 8-week program designed to prepare American Indians and Alaskan Natives for their first semester in law school.

Parnall, currently an adjunct professor at the UNM School of Law, will be taking over for Heidi Nesbitt as director of the institute next year.

Nesbitt has been in the position since 1984 and will be retiring.

Helen Padilla, the director of the American Indian Law Center which houses the Pre-Law Summer Institute, said she is excited to have Parnall joining.

“Parnall’s skills and commitment will support and advance the mission of the Law Center and the PLSI,” Padilla said in a press release.

The American Indian Law Center, which was established in 1967, is the

Rodina Parnall

oldest existing Indian-managed and Indian-operated legal and public policy organization in the country.

The center is located within the School of Law and, while no longer directly supported by UNM, was a part of the University until 1977.

“We’ve always maintained a very close relationship with the Law School,” Nesbitt said. “Both the American Indian Law Center and the School of Law have benefited from our great relationship.”

Since its inception, the Pre-Law Summer Institute has taught over 1400 Native American students interested in law school, according to Nesbitt.

Parnall said PSLI, which she

attended in 1998, focuses on producing high caliber Native American advocates to represent Native interests across the country.

The institute was formed in 1967

by Frederick Hart to address the slim number of Native American advocates practicing law and enrolled in law school. It still has the same goals today, enrolling Native Americans from across the country to be taught by some of the most renowned Indian law professors in the nation, Nesbitt said.

“PSLI isn’t just preparing students for UNM (Law School) - it’s preparing students for law schools across the country,” Parnall said.

The 8-week course was designed to be intensive, mimicking a semester of law school, Nesbitt said.

“This isn’t a remedial program,” she said. “We teach it just like a law school class and we’re not throwing anybody any bones.”

Parnall mentioned that, along with the rigorous course load, the institute focuses on forming a valuable support system for the graduates.

“I went through PSLI in 1998 and tutored in 1999, and I still get the support (from PLSI),” she said.

Jannette Mondragon, a secondyear law student at UNM, also

went through PLSI and noted how critical the institute was for her success in law school.

“If it hadn’t been for PLSI I would not have survived my first semester of law school,” Mondragon said. “They provide you not only the support emotionally, academically, financially, but it’s like a family pushing you through to reach your goals.”

Parnall, a first-generation lawyer, noted how critical attending the 8-week course was to her succes.

“In PLSI I learned how to schedule my semester to have time for studying, briefing, outlining, and practicing exams. I started law school two weeks after the program ended and brought my new skills with me,” Parnall said.

Nadine Padilla, a second-year law student, said the institute produces Native Americans who have an interest in advocating for their underrepresented communities.

“It’s really important that we have Native lawyers who can represent the different issues and where we’re from. I think it’s a good thing for us to be a voice for our communities that are underrepresented or represented poorly,” she said.

Parnall also noted that while there are many non-Native American

advocates, many tribal leaders are looking for Native Lawyers to represent their interests.

Nesbitt, the current director, agrees.

“There’s a special knowledge involved in representing a Native person or a tribe,” she said. “It’s terribly important that people representing Native American interests understand the stakes.”

“There aren’t a lot of Native American lawyers but there are a lot of Native American issues,” John Morseau, a second-year law student, said.

He believes creating more Native American law students is the first step in creating more Native American lawyers.

With many institute alums having reached success in their careers, Parnall is excited for the institute’s future.

“I hope to continue the tradition of academic excellence in the program while keeping up with innovations and changes in legal education,” she said.

An increasing number of memes promote political causes or social causes. They accomplish this in a variety of ways, from using humor to debunk any who opposed the cause the meme was promoting, to losing the humor completely and viciously attacking any who opposed the message.

Now one meme in particular has stood out to me. In fact, it was created to be used against a graphic utilized by the Donald Trump campaign.

In the meme, there is a screenshot commenting on the graphic asking viewers if they would eat a bowl of Skittles if ten of them were poisonous. The original graphic, recently tweeted out by the Trump

campaign, compares the process to the controversial issue of Syrian refugees seeking asylum.

But the meme addressed a question that may not have crossed the minds of the viewer: are the other Skittles human lives?

It continued to state that if the individual could save the lives of others, he or she would readily eat all the Skittles including the poisonous ones, concluding that it was dehumanizing to compare people to candy.

Was the purpose of the one who posted or shared the meme on social media to dehumanize a controversial issue? Perhaps, but I doubt it. I have seen anger and hurt feelings spill out over multiple memes from family and friends alike.

Frequently, the meme’s creator didn’t intend to actually hurt the feelings of their peers. Often they didn’t even feel passionately about what the meme accused.

So why post it?

For a variety of reasons, laying text over a photo and sharing it knowing that everyone will know you didn’t write it, distances yourself from the message. If humor is involved, anyone who is insulted by the meme’s brand of humor can simply be told “It’s a joke” or “You

know me and I’m not like that.”

Memes create a barrier of sorts, protecting the one who posts the meme from translating the blunt message into a post that could reflect poorly on a person’s character.

While a meme comparing Skittles to Syrian refugees may circulate through Facebook, you will doubtfully see as many personally written posts stating, “I would rather these people die than risk any harm to me and my loved ones, no matter the odds whether small or not.”

Susan Blackmore, author of “The Meme Machine,” said in her book, “One of the problems with the idea of memes is that it strikes at our deepest assumption about who we are and why we are here.”

When seeing a meme, especially those that are made for political or social causes, the meme assumes we have a side on the issue. Not just any side, but a black-and-white view on the issue.

The meme resonates the opinions of not just those who post against or for the meme, but also the opinion of the one who posted the meme in the first place. When we see a post that jokes about an issue that offends us, the human mind can jump to the assumption

that the one who posted or shared the meme feels that way. Otherwise, why did they post it?

The way memes empower and take power from us also may come largely from the internet and social media. It’s easier to say or post things on the internet that you would never even consider saying to someone to their face because the internet acts as a shield of sorts. It’s easier to lose empathy when you don’t see the reaction of the one whose feelings you hurt or the one you are dehumanizing in the first place.

Memes are not new, or rather, I should say, the concept of using a single sentence plastered over an image to incite powerful emotions is not new. Propaganda has been around in one form or another since the beginning of civilization.

There have been many books and essays published over the years defining propaganda and delving into its place among human culture, like Bertrand Russell’s “Free Thought and Official Propaganda,” originally published 1922.

It’s now 2016, and we are still allowing images with words to influence us in one way or another, whether the information is cruel, hurtful or even true. Websites such

as Snopes.com challenge such misinformation, including that shared by memes.

But the word “propaganda” has a worse connotation than the term “meme.” Does that mean the two are really different?

At times, yes, they are different.

Not all memes promote political or social causes — some truly are made to simply entertain. A meme of a cat with its legs outstretched with the term “hug me” underneath is probably not trying to influence you on a large controversial issue.

But as individuals, it’s up to us to determine if a meme is propaganda and harmful or not.

Because it’s not a matter of whether the joke stopped being funny and became inappropriate — the joke sometimes never was appropriate in the first place. When looking at your social media site of choice, consider when did we go from memes about cats and cheeseburgers to memes that compare human lives to candy?

CRIME BRIEFS Simple assault at G-Lot On Oct. 4, an officer was sent to G-Lot near the Physical Plant Department in reference to an assault call, according to a UNMPD report.

After work, an employee approached the victim, who was also an employee, while he was outside of his vehicle in the parking lot, the victim stated in the report. Over the past four months, the victim has had disciplinary issues with the accused, but this was the first time an interaction has reached this level of confrontation, and the situation appeared to be growing worse.

The conduct appeared menacing and unfriendly, the victim said, stating that the employee angrily spoke in English and Spanish. The accused threatened to punch the victim several times and placed his hand on the victim’s shoulder, attempting to begin a fist fight. During the encounter, several other employees watched while making rude hand gestures at the victim.

The victim, who said he did not react to the contact, was told to complete a written statement

Thursday

of the incident. There are currently no pending charges.

Verbal assault On Oct. 11, a female victim met with an officer at UNMPD in reference to an assault, according to a police report. A student, who had been disruptive during class in the past, was being disrespectful toward another student after class, the victim said.

The victim confronted the disrespectful student — now a suspect — stating it was not right to speak to the other student in such a manner. The suspect began shouting at the victim roughly one inch away from her face, making the victim feel threatened.

She said she felt that if she did not leave, the suspect would physically harm her. The victim provided a description of the suspect and a written statement, but did not know the suspect’s name.

The professor, who the victim identified as a witness, was contacted by UNMPD through email.

Alleged sexual assault reported near Mitchell Hall On the evening of Oct. 13, officers were dispatched to the SUB,

Although the female was able to show officers four phone calls she made with the male that day, she did not have text messages available. The female, who spoke with officers at the SUB, agreed to be transported to UNMPD to wait for her mother. She said she was unsure about taking the incident to court.

An officer provided her with a LoboRespect card, stating that she did not need to make decisions immediately, but she would be contacted later that week to discuss filing charges. Her mother said counseling would impact her daughter positively.

Officers used the cell phone number the female provided to contact the male, who agreed to visit the station that same day. The male, who had a strong odor of alcohol, said he and the female met on Tinder around the beginning of October and had been messaging one another since; he showed the officer these messages.

He and the female agreed to meet at the Duck Pond and proceeded to walk around campus holding hands, when the female

disclosed she had previously been sexually assaulted in Mitchell Hall, he said in the report. The two then walked into Clark Hall, entered the corner of a hallway and started kissing, the male said.

She was grabbing and kissing him and appeared to enjoy it, he said. He touched her sexually, but the two stopped when they heard someone enter the building, the male said. They walked back to the Duck Pond when the female received a message from a friend and stated she needed to leave, he said.

According to the report, he saw her walk toward Zimmerman Library as he left for his home, the male said. He sent the female a text message, asking why UNMPD contacted him, he said.

The officer advised that he should no longer contact the female.

The male admitted to drinking after seeing the female when he returned home.

All recorded statements were tagged as evidence, and the case has been closed.

She and a male acquaintance she had known for a few years decided to meet at the Duck Pond after she rode the bus to UNM from CNM, she said in the report.

However, the female’s mother later told police she dropped her daughter off at the Duck Pond. After meeting up with the male, who she first met during a UNM class, the two walked around campus holding hands, the female said. The encounter was consensual until he pulled her into a building she did not recognize, took her to the corner of a hallway and said he wished to take her to his home, she said in the report.

She “froze up” when he kissed her and pushed himself against her, attempting to remove her clothing and touching her inappropriately, the female said. She asked him what he was doing, and he apologized; then, she called a friend and told the male she needed to leave to help that friend, she said.

VOLLEYBALL

Lobos hope to bring conference skid to an end

By Bo Yu

@Bo_YuB New Mexico’s volleyball team expects to bring momentum into its two conference road matches with Boise State on Thursday and Air Force on Saturday.

The Lobos (11-11, 1-7 MW) just put an end to their seven-match losing skid, having gained confidence after snatching a win from Rio Grande rival New Mexico State Aggies on Sunday.

Now the Lobos, after two intense weeks of matches, take aim at a chance to end their conference losing streak when the team faces the Broncos (15-6, 6-2) and the Falcons (9-12, 0-8).

The past two weeks were hard for New Mexico, not only because of the losing streak — the program’s longest in over a decade — but also due to the schedule; the Lobos played five matches in 10 days.

“It was a little bit crazy,” head coach Jeff Nelson said. “But I’m happy to say we’re in better health and starting to play better volleyball again.”

The return of senior captain Julia Warren on court after nursing an injury provided leadership for the team as she contributed with solid defensive and offensive play.

“Warren has been able to play in the front row now for a few matches,” Nelson said.

“She is probably about 85 percent ... having that kind of leadership in there that we need.”

Cassie House has been the star of the team with some strong performances this year, and she recently reached a career milestone by surpassing 1,000 kills.

“Cassie has been playing really well,” Nelson said. “She is on top of the conference, second in kills.”

House has extended that total to 1,050 kills, which is second among all active Mountain West players, trailing only Sierra Nobley of

Boise State, who ranks first with 1,272 kills.

“I feel like we’re starting to play a lot better ball now that we’re getting our team back on track and getting people in the positions they belong in,” Nelson said.

Setter Lise Rugland will be expected to continue distributing the ball to the right people coming off a career-high 31 assist performance on Sunday.

Libero Ashley Kelsey has also been key, helping bolster the defensive line with an average of 4.20 digs per set, second best in the Mountain West.

Both opponents present challenges for the Lobos, but the team should have confidence with their strong performance in the first half of conference play.

New Mexico picked up its lone conference win against Air Force on Sept. 22, as Boise State escaped with a 3-2 victory in an intense match two days later.

“We had a really close match with them the first time around without Warren,” Nelson said.

“We lost in the fifth set and had chances to win the match in fourth, so I think we’ve got some good fuel to go up there and play well.”

Boise State is a tough place to play, and Nelson said with the football team playing at home on Thursday as well, he expects the environment to be a little crazy.

Boise State has a four-match winning streak, and has only two losses in conference play. The Broncos rank second in assists, kills and blocks, and lead the Mountain West in digs as a team.

“They have great middles, really strong outside hitters,” Nelson said in an interview on Sunday. “But if we can play ball like we did today, we can have success.”

One of Boise State’s assets is its strong offensive line. Sierra Nobley has contributed many kills, and tops the conference at 4.36 per set.

Teammate Jaymee-Lee Bulda‘s 11.33 assists per set is ranked second in the conference.

digs average — 5.04 per set.

Air Force is playing the role of cellar-dweller in the conference with a young team made up of underclassmen. The Falcons also have a first-year head coach, Marc Swindle, who has a connection to the UNM — he is a former New Mexico men’s volleyball player, and volunteer assistant with the women’s team.

“We’re hoping to get another win up there in Colorado Springs and keep moving forward and finish on a high note,” Nelson said.

The Falcons have had strong performances in non-conference plays, opening the season with 9-4, but the team has dropped its last eight decisions, all of which were against

Mountain West opponents.

Sophomores Elizabeth Pennington and Sarah Hellman make up a formidable offensive line for the Falcons. Pennington (304 kills, 3.71/set) and Hellman (9.80 assists/set) both rank fifth in the Mountain West.

“Air Force is looking for a win, they are hungry,” Nelson said. “We’ve got to stay on our game and take care of this.”

Lobos aim to drive their record above .500

By Robert Maler @robert_maler New Mexico football looks to get back over .500 for the first time since it won the home opener — and win back-toback games for the first time this season — when it takes on Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday New Mexico (3-3, 2-1 Mountain West) will host the Warhawks (2-4, 1-2 Sun Belt) at University Stadium, in a non-conference match nestled between eight Mountain West contests.

The outcome could have big implications as the Lobos try to take another step toward becoming bowl-eligible, while also trying to avoid looking ahead to the next opponent.

Head coach Bob Davie said he hopes the notion of the matchup being a “trap” game isn’t an issue, but it is something the staff has talked to the team about.

“I guess it is worth talking about, but I’m more interested in us,” he said. “I’d rather focus on us being mature... I hope we can fight through, just because of our past experiences.”

The team has been struggling to get healthy and will be missing several key pieces again. In Tuesday’s press conference, Davie said the defense will be without a trio of seniors.

is sidelined due to an apparent foot injury, while Davie said safety Ryan Santos and offensive lineman Garrett Adcock will be out of the lineup after suffering concussions.

Injuries have had the greatest impact on Adcock, as the fifthyear senior announced he has

decided to walk away from the game completely.

“I have made the decision to retire from football after suffering my second concussion this season,” Adcock said in the release. “Despite the abrupt end to my career as a Lobo, I will be a

Lobo for life.”

Junior quarterback Lamar Jordan led the team for most of the 45-40 victory over Air Force last week, but was replaced by Austin Apodaca when he went down with a hamstring injury.

Jordan and Apodaca both

practiced earlier in the week, and Davie said the plan will be for both quarterbacks to play this weekend.

Against Air Force, the defense made some critical mistakes again, but stepped up to shut down the Falcons on its final two drives when the team needed it most.

Senior linebacker and team captain Dakota Cox said the team still needs to improve on some things, but that can be said every week. He said the team has a chance to build on success, focus on the details and take advantage of a good opportunity Saturday.

“Every team we play presents different challenges,” Cox said.

“Louisiana-Monroe has a lot of talent and a lot of athletes. They have a good scheme — so we just have to go out and execute.”

Louisiana-Monroe enters Saturday on the heels of a 40-34 triumph over Texas State. The team’s starting quarterback was also knocked out the game, but its backup stepped in to throw a couple of touchdowns to help guide the Warhawks to victory.

Saturday’s kickoff is scheduled for 7:08 p.m., with the first 5,000 attendees receiving a Lobo spirit sleeve for this week’s fan giveaway.

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Above and Below’ fails to pull itself together

By Audrin Baghaie @AudrinTheOdd “Above and Below” is a 2015 creative non-fiction documentary detailing the life of four different survivalists trying to make the most of life in their respective contexts. The film, directed by Nicholas Steiner, offers an interesting peek into a separate side of civilization, a more blunt and inthe-trenches way of living.

To put it bluntly, this film isn’t that great. Perhaps I just don’t get it, because most critics are praising the movie on its visuals and examinations on life.

Both of these aspects were fine, but in no way do they carry the two-hour runtime.

The docu-drama is shot in a way that blurs the line between fiction and reality. These could very well be actors portraying real life scenarios, but everything is left so ambiguous that it’s difficult to know explicitly. It gets to the point where “Above and Below” feels ambiguous for the sake of being ambiguous. Incidentally, it comes off as pretentious.

We’re quickly introduced to three homeless people who live underground in Las Vegas. They seem at peace with their living situation, although it’s never explained to the audience whether they live there by choice or by

necessity. This is one of various pieces of information that we’re left to ponder.

I cannot empathize with these characters because they seem actually quite happy with their lives. I don’t relate to them because their lifestyle is vastly different from my own. Nothing in the film makes me care for these “characters” because I only know one thing about them: they live in underground tunnels. Yes, okay, cool.

It’s somewhat fascinating, for what it’s worth, but the plot really doesn’t go anywhere. The audience is left to decipher the meaning of the film with respect to the other featured scenarios: a NASA training facility in the desert preparing for a Mars mission and a lonesome man living in solitude in... another desert I suppose?

Everyone has one thing in common: they’re all adventuring for the sake of doing so and, in turn, searching for unique forms of fulfillment, be it space travel or a bed to sleep on for the night.

They’re all tied together by invisible tethers of motivation that we are expected to acknowledge.

However, the cinematography is pretty. I’m a sucker for wideshots, and “Above and Below” is a good source for any aesthete to get their fix. We’re reminded just how beautiful the desert can be through radiant sunsets and

polished, snowbound landscapes.

Not that we in Albuquerque need a reminder.

The movie could and should have had a better story to go with it. There’s no linear narrative, hardly any exposition and the dialogue is so aimless at times it’s baffling. Of course a story can only provide so much, and documentaries don’t ever need stories to be exhilarating, but this film seems to be constructed for, and without, a pulling factor. The music, the cinematography, the characters — it’s all put in place for a plot that never was.

But there’s something for someone here — perhaps a moving notion about making life worth living regardless of circumstance. At the very least, it’s interesting to see these people live in such vastly different ways. I suppose that alone is the point of the film. But “Above and Below” left me with nothing to write home about.

“Above and Below” will be playing in the SUB Theater this weekend, presented by the Southwest Film Center. Showtimes and prices can be found at swfc.unm.edu.

The Polgar Sisters: Judit (Level 2)

By Eddie Wyckoff

Judit Polgar vs. Bu Xiangzhi, World Cup blindfold rapid, 2007; White to move and mate in 3: Judit Polgar is often considered the best woman chess player of all time, reaching #8 in the world in 2005. Her two sisters, Susan and Sofia, are also professionals, holding the Grandmaster and International Master titles respectively. The entire Polgar family advocates for women in chess, since it is a shockingly male-dominated game. Hint: you know you want to sacrifice something.
