End of ART construction is finally in sight

By Madison Spratto @Madi_Spratto The long-anticipated end to construction on Central Ave. is finally in sight.

From the West Side to the BioPark, the Albuquerque Rapid Transit system is up and running — the rest of the ART corridor is being used for bus drivers to practice the new system.

The $126 million project started May 2016 and is projected to be complete by the end of 2017.

With a new transportation service comes new road rules drivers need to be aware of.

Some new rules include: changes to where drivers can make a left turn and preventing drivers from using in the Bus Only lane.

If a driver is pulled over while driving in the Bus Only lane, a ticket can be issued — this applies to any driver who is involved in an accident with an ART bus in the Bus Only lane.

To remind drivers to stay out of the Bus Only lane, there are rumble strips, “Bus Only” decals and a double white line that a driver is prohibited from crossing at all times.

To ease the transition of ART, ABQ Ride+ was launched — it is an

Dreamers jump through hoops for citizenship In

memory of a lost Lobo

@amybyres12 Editor’s Note: Sofia Angulo is an alias used at the DACA recipient’s request for her safety. However, Bryanna James is not an alias.

This profile is part of a series on DACA recipients. Continue to stay updated with the Daily Lobo for more information.

For DACA recipient and University of New Mexico student Sofia Angulo, becoming a citizen has been difficult.

“People say, ‘Oh, well, why don’t you just become a citizen?’

Well, because I can’t...I’ve been here since I was 3-years-old and I’m still not even a resident. I’m 100 percent basically undocumented, besides DACA,” said the criminology and anthropology double major.

Because of Angulo’s dilemma with her citizenship status, her future has become unclear.

“With me being a criminology major, I’m still stressed out about my future. I can’t become a police officer without my citizenship. I couldn’t become a probation officer. I wanted to try to become an intern for the CIA undergraduate program, I can’t do that without my

Angulo said she is frustrated with how much misinformation people have concerning what

The University of New Mexico community is mourning the tragic loss of a student, friend and brother.

Dezmond “Dez” Ravenel was stabbed in his apartment on Nov. 27 during an altercation with his younger brother, D’Andre Ravenel, who admitted to killing Dezmond when Albuquerque Police Department officers arrived on scene. He claimed Dezmond had become physically aggressive first, but APD found no physical wounds to support this statement. D’Andre has since been charged with murder.

Dez was a standout athlete in high school, in both football and

app designed for passengers to use while riding ART. Joanie Griffin, the CEO of Griffin & Associates, the marketing, advertising and public relations firm that promotes ART, said in a new release that the app helps riders plan trips, buy tickets online and promotes local businesses and attractions located along the ART corridor on Central Ave. The

goal is to help the community “rediscover Central.”

Despite the initial protests of ART, it has become the first-ever U.S. bus rapid transit system to be awarded the Gold Standard from the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, according to Griffin’s press release.

In a statement from Griffin, she said some of the criteria include

having dedicated right-of-ways, platform level boarding, minimized bus emissions and efficient access and integration.

Out of 100 possible points, ART received 88.5 — surpassing Cleveland’s Health Line, which earned 76 points.

Some Albuquerque residents still have reservations about the new transit system.

Jackie Wolf, a long-time Albuquerque resident, said she believes ART is a “huge waste” of city funds and taxpayer money.

A University of New Mexico fourth year computer science major, Brandon Wade, compared the new transportation system to his time in New York and their effective transit options and said he sees the similarities between those and ART.

“It’s pretty much similar I guess, so for people who don’t have vehicles it might be good, but then again the traffic might be crazy,” he said. “I guess the results (will tell) honestly, just wait and see.”

to face include: the uncertainty of whether people in government care what happens to Dreamers, she said.

Angulo said she hopes the Senate, Congress or president should pass a clean Dream Act or keep DACA. “I don’t think they really care about us too much right now, even though we have been here since we were little,” she said. “We’re working and in school. We’re either in the military or paying taxes. We’re doing all that stuff,” Angulo said.

Angulo describes herself as an ambitious, caring individual who loves her family. Her best friend Bryanna James, a UNM sophomore studying psychology, said she can attest to that.

“She is honestly the most kindhearted person I’ve met, and she’ll always go out of her way to help support her friends and family, no matter the situation,” James said.

Angulo’s parents brought her to the U.S. for a better life. Angulo didn’t realize how difficult it is on her parents as immigrants until DACA came out, she said.

Because of DACA, Angulo can help her parents with bills and

spend more time with her family.

“She is so caring for her family, because I remember a time she was really busy with work and school, and her little brother got sick at school, and no one was able to get him. So she dropped everything she was doing to pick him up and make sure he got home safe,” James said.

Angulo’s dream in life is to finish school and practice social work with either immigrants or help rehabilitate juvenile delinquents, she said. Later on, she hopes to attend law school to become an immigration lawyer.

Angulo said she describes a Dreamer as “an American, someone who is hardworking, persevering, a fighter. We are Americans, we want to be here, we want to contribute to our society, we want to move ahead, we want to get these great jobs, we want to finish school.”

military, they must provide proof of identity, proof of being in the U.S. before the age of 16, proof of presence in U.S. on June 15, 2012 when DACA was announced and proof to have lived continuously in the U.S. since June 15, 2007, meaning one has never left the county since June 15, 2007.

Most DACA applicants use an immigration lawyer to apply for DACA, which adds to the cost.

The first time Angulo applied for DACA, it cost about $2,000, she said.

One of the most beneficial things DACA provides is a work permit and renewing this part of DACA, no matter if renewed on time, takes time to be approved, she said.

Angulo’s first experience with a DACA renewal before it expired happened when she was working at a gelato shop, she said.

“A week before it expired, I noticed I haven’t gotten any news about it being approved...so I had to quit my job because of it. It even came a month and a half late with the whole process just because it’s so hard to do,” Angulo said.

Other challenges she has had

force in their lives.

“We used to laugh and laugh over nothing, so I’ll truly miss him just bringing that certain light, love and laughter into my life whenever he was around,” Escobar said.

“He was the best brother a man could ask for,” Candelaria said.

Dezmond is remembered for his passion and talent for sports, as well as his quirky personality and love

for the Pokémon character, Pikachu.

“He loved his mother, family, friends, Pikachu and the Green Bay Packers in that order — and he loved hard,” Candelaria said.

“The last time I spoke to Dez was the Sunday for Thanksgiving. I texted him in the early morning, ‘I love you bro,’ and he replied with, ‘Love you too.’ I’ve been comforted this week knowing that was the last thing we

said to one another. He was such a remarkable friend and human being, who proved that selflessness, love, hard work, kindness and loyalty will get you wherever you need to in life, and I am so grateful that I will forever be able to call him one of my best friends,” Escobar said.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to PIKE, which will donate

the funds to a charity in honor of Dezmond’s legacy.

A memorial service for Dezmond will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 6 p.m.

a lot of people just hear the word, ‘immigrants,’ and they’re like, ‘Alright get them out, go deport them,’ not realizing how difficult this process is or how you have to be really an upstanding citizen to get (DACA) — they don’t just give it to anyone,” Along with having to be an exceptional citizen to qualify for DACA, the program itself only provides so much to its recipients.

“People are just so misinformed about it. They think I get college for free, or they think that I’m on food stamps or welfare, and they think I get scholarships and all that, and I’m like, ‘I don’t qualify for any of that stuff,’” Angulo said.

Applying for DACA can be costly and time consuming.

According to the U.S Citizenship & Immigration Services website, applicants must collect documents, fill out a series of forms, mail USCIS forms and fees at a total of $465, submit biometrics and check the status of the request online.

Some guidelines that apply to DACA, according to the USCIS website, are: one must have no felonies or be a threat to national

Column

Don’t be afraid to come out to your family

By Kyle Land

@Kyleoftheland This past Thanksgiving, my grandfather passed away. For most people, such an event would be very emotionally-trying.

Yet, from the moment he passed until the day he was buried, I felt strangely conflicted.

As cliché as it may sound, my grandfather was very religious. No — that’s putting it mildly. Religion, specifically Orthodox Christianity, was the dominant force in his life.

He read his Bible daily, went to church every Sunday and observed every fast day —which in Orthodoxy is basically going vegan for the entire period of Lent.

My grandfather had a profound impact on my life and the adult I have grown up to be. Like him, I have been obsessed with history since I was a little kid, and he took every opportunity to feed my obsession with thick, old books of historic legends, such as George S. Patton and Abraham Lincoln.

I also shared his love for religion to the point where, around the age of 13, I seriously considered becoming a priest. Going to church was a transformative experience for me, and I cannot deny that I felt a divine presence

whenever I attended.

My grandfather also supplemented my love for the church by sending me various religious books, including the yearly fasting calendar put out by the Orthodox Church. I cherished these gifts, often flipping through them and memorizing the passages within.

He also continued to motivate me to earn my Eagle Scout rank, since he was also a scout and unable to earn it himself.

And yet, despite supporting me and loving me throughout my life, one phrase he said kept reverberating in my mind during the funeral.

It was during a family camping trip. I must have been 14 at the time.

We were having our usual theological discussions. All of a sudden, I asked him why homosexuality was a sin.

It is a question I had never been able to understand, and I was hoping he could give me a clear answer on the subject.

“Because it’s an abomination.

Marriage is between one man and..,” he began.

I could not stand to listen to rest of what he had to say. It was just like one of those terrible Prop 8 commercials I had seen on TV so many times.

The main issue I had with his statement is that I am gay, and that he essentially called me an

abomination. Of course he did not know — I had not even come to terms with it at that point — but that did not make what he said hurt any less.

After that moment, everything about our relationship seemed to change, at least from my perspective. My love for religion waned, as it became clear that what I was and what the church wanted me to be were fundamentally opposed to one another.

Conversations on the phone soon developed a sickening routine — force a cheerful “hello,” lie about how I went church, talk about politics, rinse and repeat in the next phone call.

Even as I came out to all of my other family members, I never told him. I created many justifications for why, such as, “He’s old, why inflict that kind of pain on him?” or “Why ruin our relationship over something that is none of his business?”

However, my reasoning was actually quite simple — I was scared.

I feared the terrible, crushing pain of him telling me that I was a sin in God’s eyes. It was horrible the first time, and I refused to go through that again.

Fast forward to last Wednesday.

I had just landed in Los Angeles and immediately drove across town to St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral for my grandfather’s funeral.

Upon arrival, my uncle asked if I would read the Epistle during the service, a traditional thing to do in an Orthodox liturgy, because “it would’ve meant a lot to him.”

I had not been inside a church in over two years, but I agreed. After I finished, everyone there told me what a great job I did and how proud my grandfather would be of me.

I felt very hollow inside.

The burial the next day did not feel much better. After the ceremony, the family gathered at one of my grandfather’s favorite restaurants in Burbank.

Many people stood up to give tearful testimonials on what a great person he was, how kind he was.

I thought about speaking, but I could not think of what to say.

I had always assumed that my grandfather would not understand or accept me being gay. However, confronted with stories about how he had affected so many lives for the better, I felt that I had underestimated his empathy.

True, maybe coming out to him would have been difficult, and maybe he would refuse to speak to me. But how can I know when I did not even tell him?

I have heard many stories about the most die-hard of homophobes changing their opinion when someone they love comes out — perhaps my grandfather

would have done the same.

I do not think it is unreasonable to say that every LGBTQ person has that one relative they will never come out to. And if you do not want to tell that relative, that is totally your decision. However, coming out to them just might surprise you.

You might be the one that changes their entire worldview.

And if they do not accept you, that is OK. You should not have to lie about who you are for someone else.

My grandfather indeed was a wonderful, caring and thoughtful man, and I never gave him the chance to redeem himself of his one flaw.

It pains me that he died not knowing who I was.

Sitting in my drawer in my bedroom is a letter addressed to my grandfather. In it, I detail my struggle with coming out as gay, and that I love him and forgive him, despite everything that he has said.

Now, it just sits there and collects dust, because I could not muster the courage to send it.

wealth to the aristocratic family D’Ysquith, but there is one major challenge — eight other D’Ysquiths must die off before he inherits the earldom of Highhurst. Controversy follows each of the D’Ysquith’s deaths and Navarro gets caught up in the truth; however, Navarro finds himself fooled, as well.

Love haunts the young D’Ysquith when he is rejected for his lack of wealth and community status; yet he is overwhelmed by two ladies when he is suddenly one of the discovered heirs to Highhurst. One woman loves him; the other is only concerned with his status.

According to Ryne Nardecchia, the understudy for Navarro, audiences will be delighted by Navarro’s determination for trickery, through a taste of the macabre, as he will do anything to achieve the status and wealth he believed is his, because it is outlined in comedy.

Nardecchia was chosen as Navarro’s understudy and dance director for his ability to adapt quickly.

“They needed people they could speak in shorthand to,” he said.

“The show is very funny, but very dark, and there’s humor in very morbid (instances),” Nardecchia said.

The opening scene is a warning to the audience telling them the show they will be viewing is very dark, but that’s what makes it funny and lets people know that it is a comedy, he said.

“I remember watching it for the first time…How was the next one going to die? It became this morbid (anticipation) one you look forward too,” Nardecchia said.

Though the show begins with Monty as a common man, Nardecchia agreed that Monty got a real thirst for blood, as he gets away with murder and moves up the line of succession in the D’Ysquith lineage.

Beautiful, lavish scenery and costumes set the stage in this musical whirlwind performance full of color, laughter and surprises, as the actors change costumes right before the audience.

The costumes utilized are from the original award-winning Broadway show, Nardecchia said.

Spectators will see an actor change into another relative in

almost a blink of an eye.

“It’s got a lot of really neat gimmicks to it, like nothing else I have never seen to begin with or been a part of. It’s impressive to watch,” Nardecchia said. “One of our main actors…James, who plays the D’Ysquith family, portrays every single member in this eightperson family… He’s incredibly talented…He fluctuates from different characters, in a moment’s notice, jumps scene in one costume and comes back immediately after in 17 seconds later in a full new costume, different character.”

Diverse cultures reacted in different ways to the controversial content of the show, said Nardecchia.

Though these actors are showcasing this play in different areas of the United States, the director didn’t change the way the actors performed their characters in order to be understood by a variety of audiences or cultures, he said.

“We give the same performance to every place that we go to, which screens itself, because you will see how people react to different things.

Some places will find certain things

funny, some places won’t, but they’ll find other moments of the show hysterical,” Nardecchia said.

According to Broadway Director Darko Tresnjak, the musical is put together in a comical production with each of the family members being unlikeable.

“A, they’re horrible people, the whole family that he kills — they’re all awful, one after the other, in different ways.

B, it just means he’ll be back as another delightful characterization, so the audience looks forward to it.

I thought, ‘It’s the perfect antidote to holiday entertainment. Everyone wants to murder their family,’” Tresnjak said.

“A Gentleman’s Guide To Love and Murder,” will be performed at Popejoy Hall from Dec. 7 to Dec. 10.

Musical explores comedic, macabre themes

By Sherri Barth

@SherriJBarth23 Greed, love, rejection and acceptance are one man’s total obsession in this tale brought to life at the Popejoy Hall stage Thursday.

Tony Award-winning Broadway Musical, “A Gentleman’s Guide To Love and Murder,” travels to the Edwardian era and explores the life of a simple, poor man named Monty D’Ysquith Navarro.

Playwright Robert Freedman and author Steve Lutvak were motivated by the allegory of Roy Horniman’s 1907 novel, “Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal,” and the film, “Kind Hearts and Coronets,” to create a sinister, yet entertaining climb of one man’s creative flight for recognition and wealth through murder and deception. Freedman and Lutvak wrote a completely new storyline with fresh new characters to make the musical comical and entertaining for the family, according to press releases.

Navarro is a young man who is given the truth of his lineage and

Trump’s misogynistic insults put women in danger Editor,

The misogynist history of Donald Trump’s predatory mindset is nothing new and should not surprise anyone. The fact that it still does, speaks against the hypocritical self-conception of this country as a beacon of justice.

A quick glance at Trump’s trail of verbal abuse is indicative of even worse atrocities this man is accused of having committed during the course of his parasitic existence.

So far, 16 women have come forth and accused him of sexual assault, including child rape. The media are conspicuously silent in their busy reporting of the newest allegations against a growing horde of national icons. When Trump, the accused, comes to the help of the accused U.S. Senate candidate from Alabama, Roy Moore, with the words, “He totally denies it” — as if this was enough to prove anything — he acts in self-defense.

After the first Republican presidential debate, Trump accused then Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly of menstruating bad words against him: “You can see there was blood coming out

Religion has no place on a college campus Editor, As I meet and speak with other students, as I notice which groups are setting up where and how often, I am struck by how great a presence religion has on campus. To be sure, it is always Christians evangelizing, but my concern stretches to any faith-based tradition.

Religion does not belong on campus.

We are here to learn. Importantly, we are here to sophisticate our knowledge.

When learning, it is crucial to be receptive and to recognize and resist barriers and biases. Given the culture that we have, most of us grow up knowing some version of a religious thinking well before being able to properly

of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

Last year Trump referred to 1996 Miss Universe winner and Venezuelan actress Alicia Machado as “Miss Housekeeping” who is a “fat” “Miss Piggy.” NYT columnist Gail Collins writes that Trump in fierce disagreement with a column she had authored in 2011 “sent me a copy of the column with my picture circled and ‘The Face of a Dog!’ written over it.” A bad temper unrestrained is bound to become violent.

One has to heed the words by American feminist Catherine MacKinnon who understands how words are never “only words.” Speech is a physical act with physical consequences, such as rape. The constitutional right to free speech cannot remain unrestrained without basic conditions set by civil and human rights.

Trump’s comments are never meant to “mean” “just” what they say. They are designed to be demeaning to the point of denigration followed by destruction. The recent rise of deadly hate crimes in this country happens with Trump’s usurpation of the presidency.

Statements like the one made in 2006 when Trump called TV host Rosie O’Donnell “a disgusting slob” with a “fat, ugly face” in

response to her criticism of his extramarital affairs to point out how ill-suited the man is for anything considered morally sound, must be seen in the pornographic context of America’s rape and war culture.

Here, another statement is revealing.

When writer Natasha Stoynoff claimed in a 2016 report in People Magazine that she had been physically attacked by Trump while on assignment at Mar-A-Lago in 2005, the accused lashed out at a rally in Florida and said in an effort of self-defense, “the area was a public area, people all over the place...Take a look…Look at her…you tell me what you think.

I don’t think so.” Apparently, he would never attack his object of desire in pubic, and more than ten years later, he considers Ms. Stoynoff too ugly to re-trigger the violent attack. Yet, his world-famous lewd words dating back to 2005, captured in the infamous video released by the Washington Post last year, brag about exactly this kind of predatory mindset.

As so often, Trump’s shameless insults drive home the point of his accusers. His talent for self-defensive self-incrimination is outstanding. His lies tell the truth. His denials admit his guilt. “Women are special,” he says, which in his mind means, they “are special prey for me(n).” Such hypocritical expertise

can only flourish in a system that protects the bully. In a functioning democracy the vindictiveness of Trump’s self-indictments would throw him either in jail or out of the country.

We, however, live at the threshold to tyranny where, as Plato points out, “Horses and asses are let loose to run for office.” Consequently, at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago American revolutionary Abbie Hoffman with his friend Jerry Rubin nominated Pigasus, the pig, for President, as the only sound alternative to war mongers like Nixon and Humphrey.

Today even his fellow-politicians refer to Trump as a “deranged animal.” As in George Orwell’s political tale, Animal Farm, it is unclear whether, in the end, we are witnessing the dealings of pigs or humans wreaking havoc in the White House and Congress as they preside over the deadly fate of the American people in their so-called “legislative” attempts to rob the poor, destroy the planet only to enrich themselves.

Whenever politicians disown the people they ought to represent, the people are called to disown and replace these politicians.

understand mathematical, scientific, historical, poetic or artistic concepts.

Religious values are deeply ingrained and easy to understand. Is this not the largest, most robust barrier that could exist? Is it not true that, even now, Christians impulsively reject essential scientific truths, like evolution?

In fact, the Bible, key to the Christian worldview, is wrong or silent about every major discovery and innovation we’ve made.

The Bible is wrong about the shape of the Earth (Genesis 1:6-8, Revelation 7:1), wrong about the moon’s light (Genesis 1:15), wrong about the rotation of the Earth (Ecclesiastes 1:5), wrong about the age of Earth.

It is wrong about women’s role in society, wrong about homosexuality, wrong about slavery. It is likely wrong about free will. The Bible tells us nothing about germs, genes, cells,

anatomy, computers, medicine, physics. If someone holds a belief which deeply informs them on any given topic, and if that belief does not permit for regular updates, then that belief system is directly opposed to the work of being a student. Many of the things that Christianity has been wrong about are ignored or discarded.

Few people think the Earth is 6,000 years old.

People wear mixed textiles. Churches make a show of their acceptance of LGBT+ folks instead of murdering them.

What drives this sort of progress that allows people to ignore supposedly divine and factual claims of a Bronze Age text? It is the unrelenting pressure of mounting evidence.

It is a commitment to secularism. It is a dedication to the separation of one’s personal beliefs and the functioning of a society as a whole — it is the active prevention of priests and pastors dictating to us what the best way

to live is. It is a stance which tries to determine what is best for humans, and not what is best for Christianity.

The religious student must be equally dedicated to keeping their personal faith as personal as possible, so they can learn about and understand the world accurately. The continued existence of societies in general totally depends on secularism because otherwise the scientific illiteracy prevalent now will doom us all. That is why I think that churches like Wake, Sagebrush, Copper Pointe and Calvary Chapel should not advertise here, have no place on campus and should be actively rejected by the student body.

Ski team

UNM ski team is safe for another year The team and its supporters had to fight to maintain its status after being cut by UNM Athletics

By Alanie Rael @AllyRael

GO LOBOS!

The University of New Mexico ski team has been a part of the Athletic Department since 1970 when the men’s ski team was founded.

Last year the program was cut and, though it was later reinstated, some may be wondering what the status of the ski team is moving forward.

The decision to discontinue the New Mexico ski team was announced on April 13, 2017, but was reinstated less than a month later after several protests and a strong push by the community sought to save the program.

The ski team held its own press conference, advocating for the chance to continue competing in the sport it loved and received strong support, not just from the UNM community but also from across the state.

An Albuquerque Journal article

by Geoff Grammer reported that donations to support the team came from donors throughout New Mexico. Some key members of the ski community like John Garcia, a Ski New Mexico board member, and ski industry figures Louis Abruzzo of Sandia Peak Ski & Tramway and Chris Stagg of Taos Ski Valley were influential in the effort to save the team.

Many UNM ski athletes,

alumni and outside supporters took the issue to the Board of Regents to argue against cutting the program and asked for one more year of the ski program to figure what the team could do to find a way to pay for the costs. Seventeen advocates spoke on behalf of the team to try to reinstate it for the upcoming season.

In May 2017, then-UNM interim president Chaouki Abdallah announced the reinstatement of the ski team — though there was an expectation that coaches and supporters would use the upcoming year to find a long-term financial solution to address funding.

Lobo junior alpine skier Katherine Irwin also helped lead the fight to keep the ski team at UNM, giving many speeches on behalf of her and her teammates, who have found purpose and fulfillment competing in the sport for the University of New Mexico.

Irwin, a team captain, said the team had plenty of supporters. She said it wasn’t just the skiing community that backed the team, but she also received comments from professors at UNM, who expressed having some stand-out students who were a part of the ski team.

“A lot of times, people associate athletes with being at college to focus on their sport rather than academics,” Irwin said, adding that she felt professors really wanted to

keep the ski team around. “The ski team saw a lot of support from the academic side of the school, and that was really cool.”

The ski team hoisted the firstever NCAA Division I title in a team sport for New Mexico in 2004 but has also hit high marks in the classroom. Last semester the team garnered a 3.60 GPA for the men’s team and a 3.92 GPA for the women.

Eddie Nuñez, UNM’s new athletics director, had not yet been named to the position at the time of the controversial decision to end the program. Though he said he believed the people who did make that call, did so with the best interest of the department in mind. He said it couldn’t have been an easy decision for anyone involved and felt for the student-athletes and the people tasked with making the decision.

Nuñez said the outpouring of support was eye-opening, admitting he was unaware how high skiing ranked in relation to tourism — citing it as one of the leading industries in the state of New Mexico.

The athletic director said there is an agreement in place which he described as a “mutual funding model” which involves donors from the ski community, that ensures the program will be in place through next year.

He said the goal now is trying to figure out how to sustain that

model, saying there is a possibility the agreement could continue in the future. Nuñez said he believes in the “village approach” and everyone knows that they need to be engaged and provide support to all of the sports programs in order to sustain them.

Some of the skiers were preparing for exams when they heard the initial news that the the ski program had been cut.

Nuñez said he felt learning from the way things unfolded in the spring and understanding what transpired could be a tremendous help when evaluating how to proceed in the future, if the Athletic Department ever has to go down that path again.

He said the decision to cut a sport and impact student-athletes and coaches is never going to be an easy process, and there is never a right time to do it, but past experience might help mitigate some of those issues.

For now, the athletic director said there are no plans to eliminate any sports.

Nuñez said he hopes to find a way to find a funding model that sustains the University’s programs at the highest level and that they represent UNM in the best way possible, both athletically and academically.

The ski team will open 2018 by competing at the NCAA U.S. Cross

Country Nationals in Kincaid, Alaska on Jan. 3 and hope to continue having the opportunity to do so for many seasons to come.

There are many new members expected to be on the snow this season, but it is also an opportunity some returning participants have been looking forward to for a long time.

Youri Mougel, an alpine skier, said it will be his first time competing in the two years that he’s been on the team, after recovering from two ACL surgeries.

“This season is definitely going to be a challenge for me, because I haven’t skied in a while,” Mougel said.

“I think it’s going to be trying to reach the level I was at, or even better.”

Despite the financial struggles and hardships in the Athletic Department, the actions of donors within the community seem to have sparked a flame for the UNM skiers, and they will likely have big goals for a season that wasn’t guaranteed.

UNM holds fashion show for World AIDS day

By Rebecca Brusseau @r_brusseau On Dec. 1, the University of New Mexico LGBTQ Resource Center held a fashion show to help raise awareness for World AIDS Day. “Passion for Fashion” was a competition at the Student Union Building between a team from the Provost’s office and a team from the Women’s Resource Center.

The teams were required to create an outfit out of expired condoms and various materials in a strict time limit of 20 minutes.

The Provost office’s team, who went with a look inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Lenny Kravitz, was named the winner of the competition.

“Passion for Fashion” is an annual event that has been running for several years.

“We once had a contestant make a dress, purse and shoes in twenty minutes,” host Lola LaVerne Roxxx said.

“I think it’s a lot of fun for a serious topic,” said Queer Student Alliance member Melanie Foucault. “The more fun events like these are, the more interest it will bring to share the message.”

Roxxx announced the instructions of the contest, facts regarding HIV and AIDS awareness, along with the winner at the conclusion of the event.

“According to the National AIDS report, there were approximately 36.7 million people worldwide living with HIV or AIDS in 2016,” Roxxx said. “Of these, 2.1 million were children. That’s why it is so crucial for everyone to get tested.”

On the team representing the Women’s Resource Center, Sarah East said she was excited to be a

part of this event.

“I’m here, because I work for the Women’s Resource Center, so I’m here participating in ‘Passion for Fashion’ as this team’s model,” East said. “I think this helps raise awareness, and in this case, it raises awareness for World AIDS Day.” The event was a way for the LGBTQ Resource Center to approach the topic of the dangers of HIV and AIDS as well as showcase the resources available to students at the LGBTQ Resource Center, regardless of one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

“We have testing every Tuesday at the LGBTQ Resource Center. It is confidential, free and it only takes 20 minutes,” Roxxx said. “It doesn’t matter if you are gay, straight or bisexual...if you are having sex, you need to get tested.”

MOVIE REVIEW

“Three Billboards” provides tasteful social critique

By Hector Valverede @hpvalverde Seven months after her daughter died while being violently raped, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) rents out three billboards on a rural road just outside her hometown of Ebbing in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.”

Let down by the police’s lack of results after seven months, Mildred calls out the police chief (Woody Harrelson) on the billboards in bold black letters behind a striking scarlet background: “Raped while dying,” “And still no arrests,” “How come, Chief Willoughby?”

Though her message successfully gains police attention, Mildred soon begins receiving some nasty backlash from the town in defense of the beloved chief.

What ensues is a darkly comical tale of profound human suffering that’s sincere in its message and

Courtesy Photo/ IMDB

often humorous in its delivery.

In a time of polarizing political and social conflict, writer and director Martin McDonagh tackles rough subject matter with a wry sense of humor. The backwards town of Ebbing is full of racists, a violent police force and all other

manners of despicable people. Sam Rockwell’s delinquent policeman, Jason Dixon, is especially memorable through a brutish, illmannered performance.

These tricky topics are smartly lampooned through the film’s irreverent script and McDormand’s and

Harrelson’s offbeat performances.

The pain and anger of losing a child conveys itself strongly through Mildred’s mean-spirited sarcasm, and it’s great seeing how the townsfolk retaliate back. Though the dark humor can lean towards absurdism at times, it always feels genuine and relevant toward the social critiques at work throughout the piece.

I also absolutely relished the excellent score and soundtrack. The music slings a neat Western vibe, elevating the conflicts between Mildred and the town.

To boot, there are some very welcome messages regarding compassion and change. As cynical as it may get “Three Billboards” presents a dynamic view of the world in which characters grow, recede and sometimes change for the better. It would do us well to learn from them.

I enjoyed the film quite a bit, though it did begin to stutter a little around the third act.

Sometimes some subplots

COUPON BONANZA

completely disappeared. Others — particularly one involving a fire, dinner and Peter Dinklage — felt unnecessary and hampered the overall flow of the narrative.

There was a great confrontation (with great accompanying music) that was cut alongside a dinner scene. While I was on the edge of my seat for the former, I was wholly disinterested in the latter. A questionable CGI doe rounds out my list of complaints.

With great performances, humor and highly relevant social commentary, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” is another excellent contender for the upcoming awards season.

movie review

“My Friend Dahmer” offers mind-blowing experience

By Timber Mabes @timbermabes “My Friend Dahmer” allowed audience members the brainbending experience of walking alongside the Milwaukee Cannibal during his teenage years, on his path to becoming a serial killer.

Actors Ross Lynch as Jeffrey Dahmer and Alex Wolff as John “Derf” Backderf starred in the film adaptation of Backderf’s graphic novel. Director Marc Meyers did nothing less than bring the graphic novel to life in his recreation of the

sad and haunting story.

The coming-of-age horror story pulled at my heartstrings, took my breath away and left me speechless at the end.

If you want to be psychologically torn between what you know is right and wrong, this movie will provide that opportunity to you.

Based off of the early life of Dahmer, an American serial killer who murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991 in Ohio, the movie called the audience to sympathize and potentially relate to Dahmer’s broken home and social struggles.

The film took me on a roller-

coaster of internal emotions. I wanted to feel bad for Dahmer but knew he was a serial killer, and the thought of feeling sympathy for someone I knew would turn out to be a killer made me feel physically dirty and wrong.

“My Friend Dahmer” excellently evoked emotions from the audience. I was left walking out of the theater late at night mind-blown, speechless and incredibly aware of my surroundings.

Dahmer was made into a character so relatable and seemingly average, that at the end of the film, I was scared of the other audience members and their unknown intentions — I was even

ever-so slightly-questioning of my movie-partner as I walked outside to my car. This scared feeling, I later came to find out, was one we both shared.

The most horrifying thing about the movie was its revelation that above-average circumstances are not required to mold a person into a killer.

It exposed this through the vivid recreation of young Dahmer’s broken home and by following Dahmer through high school, where he was bullied.

The film pushes viewers to take the serial killer’s side and root for him as he finds peace within himself and

discovers the one thing that can make him happy: seeing the “insides” of animals and eventually, of humans.

As well as horrific, the movie was often tense and funny at moments. But mostly the film was just sad, as the audience already knew that Dahmer couldn’t be saved from becoming a killer.

For a mind-blowing theater experience and new discoveries about empathy, “My Friend Dahmer” is worth the watch.

A recap of ASUNM’s busy fall semester

By Brendon Gray

@notgraybrendon For the last three months, the office of the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico, nestled in a corner on the lower level of the Student Union Building, has been bustling with energy as students leaders work to govern the undergraduate student body.

The executive administration, led by President Noah Brooks, Vice President Sally Midani with support from the deeply layered ASUNM executive staff — Chief of Staff Mason Martinez, Director of Communications Noah Michelsohn, Deputy Chief of Staff Alice Vernon, Deputy Director of Communications Chelsea Kaban and Senate Aides Selina Montoya and Sara Midani — have been working to accomplish the administration’s three campaign goals.

The goals include: preventing

sexual assault on campus, continuing to improve the advisement process and making UNM a “destination University.”

In addition to that staff, the eight executive directors of ASUNM Student Service Agencies and 20 senators have been working — sometimes in tandem, sometimes not — to accomplish their goals.

The semester’s close doesn’t mark the end of work for ASUNM. Once back from the break, ASUNM will be fighting for increased, or at least preserved, funding for the state Legislative Lottery Scholarship; support for big capital outlay going to numerous main campus projects and, ideally, a low student fee increase for the 2018-19 academic year.

In many ways, Brooks has his work cut out for him.

Last year, ever-shrinking state reserves pushed the percentage of tuition covered by the Lottery Scholarship down 30 percent, and slipping enrollment has pressured the Board of Regents to continue

raising the cost of attendance, with tuition and student fees steadily increasing in recent years.

But Brooks says he and his team are ready for the fight.

“We weren’t just using words during our campaign,” he said. “We were actually passionate about these things.”

That is what he will be working to prove, at least.

While the semester has not left ASUNM without its battle scars, there have been numerous legislative accomplishments.

In October, an ASUNM resolution pressuring administrators to stock women’s restrooms tampon dispensers saw an almost immediate response from building managers.

Senators also passed legislation that changed the election process to increase turnout and ASUNM diversity.

The following election saw the largest number of voters ever in a fall semester.

In collaboration between the executive office and the Senate, ASUNM has held monthly “It’s On

Us” events to bring attention to sexual assault on campus.

However, other efforts, including a massive overhaul of an internal budget process and two controversyigniting resolutions addressing the abortion issue, failed to get through this semester.

In total, there were about a dozen bills and resolutions and tens of thousands of appropriation dollars that passed across the ASUNM Senate floor this semester.

“I’m really seeing senators connect with those (student) groups more than they have in the past,” Midani said.

Midani, who oversees the Senate, predicts next semester’s Finance Committee will face the largest budget process in recent memory, drawing from the ever-growing number of student organizations and a general increased understanding in the budgeting process.

With 11 new senators entering next semester, Midani hopes ASUNM can focus more on what

COUPON BONANZA

students want “and what can be improved campus-wide.”

In addition to the legislative efforts, the executive office emphasized the numerous newlyformatted ASUNM events born out of increased collaboration between ASUNM entities.

Chief among them, Party in the Pit — the first-ever party-style event hosted in the newly renamed Dreamstyle Arena — drew about 2,000 students, Brooks said. He gave gleaming accolades to the two student service agencies, Student Special Events and Lobo Spirit, which helped put on the event.

“We’ve stuck to (our goals), and we have accomplished some of them,” Brooks said.

Next semester, he hopes to see more of the same.

BioBlog: Corn, the biological miracle plant

By Zach Fry, Brittany Zengerly, Nick Freymueller, Amelia Villasenor and Jenna McCullough

Editor’s Note: This piece was originally published online in the UNM BioBlog on Nov. 23, 2017, written by the students of the Biology Department’s BioBlog class. This is part of our project to help connect the Daily Lobo audience to more members of our community.

When you look down on your Thanksgiving dinner plate, do you see a distortion of evolution? If not, you should. What we consider to be corn today is more robust than what was eaten by early settlers, and is unrecognizable compared to its ancestor, teosinte. This wild grass produces a small, 2 to 3 inch “cob.” Each ear of modern corn, on average, is 12 inches long and has approximately 500 kernels. So how did we get here?

Corn has undergone numerous evolutionary changes that allow it to be grown in numerous environments from the temperate United States to the tropics of Mexico. It was originally domesticated in the Balsas Valley in Central Mexico around 10,000 years ago from the wild plant teosinte1. Using advanced agricultural techniques not described by scientists until thousands of years later, the indigenous people living in Balsas valley artificially selected teosinte plants for the largest kernels.

They saw the potential of these meager grasses and facilitated their reproduction, generating a crop with bigger and bigger kernels in each successive generation.

Eventually, this led to a plant that looked drastically different from its grassy ancestor. Recently, scientists have even identified a single gene that is responsible for most of the major changes from teosinte to corn (the tb1 gene2). However, corn didn’t become the plant that we know today until relatively recently.

It migrated to the U.S. in the baskets of those who domesticated it, approximately 2100 years BC3, following the migration of indigenous Mesoamericans to the southwestern United States.

Humans continued to selectively breed teosinte and corn to produce high-yield crops after its introduction to the Southwest. Say, for example, that you had two different breeds of teosinte; one produced lots of starch per kernel and the other was very resistant to pests.

Breeding them together would yield some offspring that has the best of both parents; they produced lots of starch and were very resistant to pests. You would then breed those hybrids together, and then breed them with other types of teosinte that had benefits of: being able to grow in many types of climates and soils, kernel size, number of kernels per husk and so on.

Eventually, humans achieved in making corn as we know it today from the original teosinte.

Charles Darwin, a pivotal figure in the field of evolutionary biology, selectively bred pigeons for more evidence of descent with modification to include in the “Origin of Species.” However, instead of weird-looking pigeons, the first inhabitants of the Americas bred hybrids of teosinte and corn to get the biggest, strongest and most nutritious food source.

Since this process has now been iteratively performed over many hundreds of years, modern corn and the original teosinte now differ by about five genes. While this process of teosinte hybridizing with itself to form modern corn might have happened by chance in nature, it would take many times longer (if it even happened at all). This is because natural selection is not as directed towards the desired outcome as the artificial selection that humans have imposed on our food sources.

Humans and corn have a mutualistic relationship — the modern corn plant is dependent on humans for its reproductive

success. The dense, juicy kernels that we love serve as a handicap to the plant. Since corn is so dense, the plant cannot successfully give off any seeds for reproduction on its own so they must be collected and planted.

Farming today’s corn plant also requires patience since the plant now requires a particular set of conditions for success. For example, germination tends not to occur if the soil temperature is lower than about 60 degrees Fahrenheit4. Seeds also need ample space between them, at least a few inches, which you may have observed if you have walked through the grid-like rows of a corn field. Humans also depend heavily on corn. It is in nearly everything we eat or use on a daily basis: from food for cows to high fructose corn syrup to biofuel. Though we may not realize it, corn is heavily ingrained in our lives.

So every Thanksgiving, we should be thankful for thousands of years of selective breeding of teosinte that produced our juicy, delicious corn. Eat up.

This BioBlog was written by the students in the BioBlog class, including one post-doc, two graduate and two undergraduate students, all of whom love corn.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Lobos find another loss on the road against UTEP

By Robert Maler @Robert_Maler Lobo men’s basketball left El Paso, Texas the same way they entered it on Saturday evening — struggling to find its shot and winless away from home.

New Mexico fell to 3-5 on the season, falling behind after some long stretches of the game without making a field goal. UTEP used those moments to capitalize and build a lead, eventually walking away with an 88-76 decision.

The Lobos have really struggled to knock down shots away from their home court at Dreamstyle Arena. The team has shot a healthy 49.7 percent from the floor at home, but that success rate has plummeted to 36.8 percent when playing outside of Albuquerque.

Saturday night wasn’t the worst shooting night for the Lobos this season, but their 37.5 percent shooting performance was nowhere near

good enough to keep pace with the Miners, who shot 53.7 percent — well about their season average.

UTEP had five players finish with a double-digit scoring night, led by senior guard Omega Harris.

He scored a game-high of 28 points on a very efficient 9-for-11 shooting night — banging home all four of his 3-point attempts and going a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

New Mexico scored first after senior forward/guard Sam Logwood hit a jump shot on the first possession of the game, but that was the only time the Lobos held a lead on the night.

Logwood paced the Lobos with 22 points, but the rest of the team combined to shoot under 30 percent for the game, making just 13 shots along the way.

UTEP had plenty of good looks at the basket, seemingly getting into the paint with relative ease and sinking five 3-pointers in the first half. The Miners had been hitting

an average of just six made shots from long range per game coming into Saturday’s matchup.

Despite missing their first four 3-point attempts, the Lobos and Miners essentially played to a dead heat over the first several minutes of the game. The score was all knotted up at seven points before UTEP stuck a couple of jumpers to lead 11-7 at the first media timeout.

Logwood made it a 16-15 after making another jumper with 12:23 remaining in the first half, but UTEP rattled off a 13-2 run to take the reigns after making six straight baskets during that span to move in front 29-17. The only offense UNM offered in response was a pair of Anthony Mathis free throws.

The Lobos continued to compound the problem by connecting on 9-of-25 from the floor in the first half and found themselves still looking up at a double-digit deficit at halftime, with the Miners holding a 45-31 lead.

That narrative continued in

the second half as UNM struggled to string together enough offense to make a serious run. UTEP had been maintaining its lead early in the half, but New Mexico went on a 13-4 run to pull to within five points about midway through the second half.

Logwood hit a 3-pointer at the 12:07 mark to start the rally, followed by another long-range shot from Anthony Mathis. Logwood then finished at the rim while absorbing a foul for an old-fashioned 3-point play, and the deficit was cut to 61-56 after a pair of McNeal free throws with 10:15 to play.

But then the offense flatlined again.

New Mexico went scoreless over the next five minutes, missing five straight shots and committing four turnovers as UTEP pushed the advantage back up to a 15-point bulge. Troy Simons finally broke the drought with a 3-pointer with 5:13 left in the game.

His long ball was the lone field goal for another stretch that saw the Lobos fail to connect again on a field goal until the final minute of the game, when the outcome was pretty much already decided.

A Mathis 3-pointer cut the UTEP lead to nine points with 37 seconds to play, but UTEP stepped up to sink its free throws to thwart any potential comeback and preserved the 88-76 victory.

The Miner triumph ended a sixgame losing streak and denied the Lobos a chance at a road win, putting UNM’s record at 0-4 away from home.

The team will get another crack at it on Wednesday, Dec. 6 when it travels to Colorado to face the Buffalos.

Tim Keller starts his term as ABQ mayor

By Madison Spratto @Madi_Spratto Friday was the first day on the job for newly-elected mayor, Timothy “Tim” Keller.

Keller was sworn in as Albuquerque’s 10th mayor during a private ceremony held at his private residence Thursday.

He was sworn in by District Judge Shannon Bacon in the presence of his family and close friends.

On Nov. 15 Keller won the mayoral runoff election in just one hour against opponent Daniel “Dan” Lewis with a staggering 62 percent of the votes.

Throughout his campaign Keller promised to tackle crime and “take on” substance abuse and homelessness.

Keller said he has begun a national search for a permanent police chief to aid him in his

long-term goal of addressing the high crime rates in the city.

In the meantime, he appointed former Rio Rancho Police Chief Michael Geier as interim chief of police.

Taking his time finding a police chief is something Keller said was important when addressing his first moves as mayor.

Crime is on the rise in Albuquerque, and the record for most homicides in recent years was broken this week, topping out at 71 with still a month left in 2017.

A public swearing in ceremony will be held Dec. 1 at the Albuquerque Convention Center — Cynthia Borrego, who was also elected on Nov. 15, and five other city councilors will also be sworn in.

Madison Spratto is a news editor at the Daily Lobo. She can be contacted at news@dailylobo.com or on Twitter @Madi_Spratto.
