Welcome to college. The next four years will be full of new experiences, both enriching and trying. It’s a time for making new friends, learning new skills and trying to figure out just what it is you want to do with the life in front of you. And if you don’t figure it out right away, that’s OK. As you grow and learn, know that the staff here at The Las Cruces Bulletin is always rooting for you. Aggie Hookup is a guide on how to survive and thrive at New Mexico State University, and its pages focus on helpful information to help you navigate campus — where to find fun, friends and resources to help you take care of your body, mind and pocketbook. The Campus Crusaders are on hand to guide you through the variety of things you’ll need to know. You’ll meet each of them as you flip through these pages. The Bulletin produces a number of publications, including the weekly Las Cruces Bulletin, monthly Desert Exposure and a variety of supplemental publications throughout the year, such as Southwest New Mexico Legislative Guide (to familiarize you with issues unique to our region and our legislators) and Life is Good in Las Cruces (a community guide about all things Las Cruces). Pick up copies at stands throughout Las Cruces or at our office at 1740-A Calle de Mercado. We’re online at www.lascrucesbulletin.com or find us on Facebook. Best of luck to you at NMSU!

WELCOME TO NMSU

er t t e L from the

Chancellor Garrey Carruthers, Ph.D. Hello Aggies!

New Mexico State University is a caring community transforming lives through discovery. I’m proud of the work done by everyone at NMSU. Our students are talented and spirited, and they join our faculty and staff in taking part in exciting research, teaching and outreach activities that happen here every day. I’ve been around this university for a long time — as a student, a faculty member, a dean and now as chancellor. I love the energy on this campus. The Aggie spirit shown by everyone is something you can see and feel. I know that during your time at NMSU, you’ll discover

who you are and what you want to do with your life. Your college years are when you establish important personal connections and make lifelong friends. We are fortunate to have a beautiful campus, and I encourage everyone to experience it. Whether it’s watching a sporting event, attending a conference, taking in a musical or theatrical performance, or just enjoying a stroll near the pond, there is plenty that NMSU has to offer. Garrey Carruthers, Ph.D. Chancellor and Professor of Economics New Mexico State University

CRIMSON

O R E L O T S PI

Howdy, partners and welcome to NMSU. I’m here to introduce you greenhorns — yokels and city-slickers alike — to campus and help you find a saloon to wet your whistle, wrastle some books or find things you need. Giddy up!

Pistol Pete

NMSU’s mascot, Pistol Pete, has a colorful history. He is based on a real western cowboy named Frank Boardman Eaton. Eaton was born October 26, 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. His father was murdered by a gang of rustlers in front of Eaton when he was 8 years old. The boy swore to avenge his father, and wound up in Oklahoma in the 1870s looking for the killers. It was there, as he honed his skills as a marksman among the Cherokee and U.S. Army soldiers that Eaton earned the nickname “Pistol Pete.” By age 21, Eaton gunned down the last of his father’s killers, in a saloon in Albuquerque. Eaton became marshal and sheriff, a detective hunting cattle rustlers and a cowboy. NMSU adopted Pistol Pete as its mascot in the 1950s. Oklahoma State University, who also uses Pistol Pete as its mascot, sued NMSU over its use of Pistol Pete in 2014. The matter was settled within a couple of months, and NMSU was allowed to continue using Pistol Pete as its mascot, with certain restrictions.

Hey Aggies!

S M N AS

My name is Matt Bose and I have the pleasure of serving you all as the President of the Associated Students of New Mexico University, which is basically a real formal way of saying your student government. One of my biggest goals for this year is bridging the gap between you all and your student government. Just because I wear a suit a little more often than most students do doesn’t mean I’m not a regular student, too; I promise I am! If you see me around campus, please stop and say “hi” or feel free to tell me about how your NMSU experience is going. Your opinions are my lifeblood! Without them I am unable to do my job to the fullest extent, so please let me know when you have comments or concerns. For those who don’t know what ASNMSU does, we pride ourselves in providing free services that make the collegiate experience a little more enjoyable for all of you. Whether it is providing safe rides home with Crimson Cab after a night of partying, putting on concerts for Crimson Kickoff or Homecoming, or giving away free scantrons, we are here to provide students

with free ways to make their time here at NMSU an unforgettable one. Stay up to date with all we’re doing via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I want to urge you all to get involved; I can’t stress it enough! The overwhelming majority of you probably think that you are “too busy,” or you want to get “settled in.” Don’t get caught up in that mentality. Put yourselves out there and get involved — whether it’s Greek Life, intramural sports, diversity programs or clubs related to your field of study, do something. You won’t regret it. For those interested in ASNMSU, please consider applying for our Roadrunner internship or reach out to me directly and let me know that you want to get involved. I’ll do my best to place you somewhere that will give you the opportunity to give back to your student body. NMSU is all about discovery, so don’t be afraid to discover who you really are along the way. That’s what coming to college is all about! Good luck with the upcoming year and as always: Go Aggies!

Hello and welcome to college! I’m The Human Compass here to help you navigate the New Mexico State University campus, as well as the City of Las Cruces and its surrounding areas, all of which offer plenty of fun-filled activities for every college student. I’ll help you find people who share your same passions by showing you student organizations and clubs that can get you out and about on campus. Or maybe it’s traveling you’re into. If that’s the case, I’m going to show you where the best daytrips around Las Cruces. And if you’re a night owl, I’ll show you the best bars and show venues Las Cruces has to offer. College is supposed to be the best time of your life, and the Campus Crusaders are all here to help that become a reality. Happy navigating!

Las Cruces may not have a big-city feel, but it certainly has its fair share of things to do on any given day of the week. There’s a festival for pretty much everything, and myriad restaurants, markets, museums and outings to keep you busy throughout the year. Here’s a sampling of some of what Las Cruces has to offer. Farmers’ & Crafts Market of Las Cruces: Food trucks, vendors, farmers and local artisans line Main Street in Downtown Las Cruces every Wednesday and Saturday morning to offer a variety of hand-crafted wares.

D Da ay yt tr riip pp piin n’’ If you’ve got the itch to get out of town — even for a day — try these places. • Hatch, New Mexico: Located 40 miles north of Las Cruces, this charming village is home to Sparky’s Burgers, Barbeque, and Espresso. Its famous for its green chile cheeseburger, dubbed the best in all New Mexico, and the steak fries and milkshakes are to die for. See the full menu, special events and hours at http://sparkysburgers.com. Hatch is also the site of the annual Hatch Chile Festival, which takes place over Labor Day weekend each year. Learn more at www.newmexico.org/city/ hatch. • White Sands National Monument: Situated 53 miles northeast of Las Cruces the 10 acres of white gypsum is hauntingly beautiful under a full moon. Tours are available November through April, and the monument regularly has concerts, full-moon hikes, sunset hikes and educational programming. The entry fee is $5 per person, which varies for special events, and annual passes are available. Plan your trip at www.nps.gov/whsa/index.htm. • Silver City, New Mexico: Take U.S. 180 to Silver City and traverse the Gila National Forest, fish in the rivers, explore the quaint and

quirky downtown area. The forest is also home to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Check it out at http://silvercitytourism.org. • Dripping Springs Natural Area: Located about 11 miles from NMSU, Dripping Springs Natural Area offers more than four miles of hiking trails at the base of the Organ Mountains. Depending on the time of year, you can catch the eponymous dripping falls along the way. There are also historic buildings, including a tuberculosis sanatorium that was used in the early 1900s. For fees and information, visit www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/las_ cruces/dripping_springs.html. • El Paso, Texas: You can have a lovely day in El Paso, starting with a trip to the El Paso Zoo, then going to the Adventure Zone family fun park (go-karts, mini-golf, arcades, oh my!), culminating in dinner at Crave Kitchen & Bar. You can also check out an El Paso Chihuahua baseball game at the new Southwest University Park. Get the schedule at www.milb.com/index. jsp?sid=t4904.

Did your financial aid just come in? Or maybe your parents sent you the latest installment of a college allowance? Time to hit the town after dark! Las Cruces is home to a number of bars, each with its own unique atmosphere. • Try Bosque Brewing Co. – Las Cruces Tap Room, 901 E. University Ave., for craft brews and live bands on Fridays and Saturdays (and maybe bring over a pizza from next-door neighbor Zeffiro New York Pizzeria to go with your oatmeal stout). Bosque Brewing Co. has a small interior and is usually packed, but its beers are definitely worth the hassle. Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-midnight Friday and Saturday, noon-11 p.m. Sunday. Info: www.bosquebrewing.com, 575-571-4626. • Dublin’s Street Pub, across from Garcia Residence Hall at 1745 E. University Ave., offers a full bar and food menu, and is infamous among patrons for its Irish Trash Can cocktail, a mixture of gin, rum, peach schnapps, liqueur, triple sec and Red Bull. Hours: 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-midnight Sunday. Info: www.dublinsstreetpubandgrill.com, 575-522-0932. • El Patio Bar, located in Mesilla Plaza at 2171 Calle De Parian, is a Las Cruces landmark. It is, without a doubt, a dive bar, with no craft brews on tap. With domestic and foreign imports, this is the traditional (wo)man’s bar, hosting local and regional bands on the weekends. Strangely, El Patio has no patio, but it does have pool tables. The bar is cash only. Hours: 2 p.m.-11 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday, 2 p.m.-2 a.m. Thursday-Saturday. Info: 575-526-9943 or find them on Facebook. • Farley’s Pub, is a large sports bar with pool tables, arcade games and enough televisions to watch several games at once. It offers a full bar and menu. Hours: 11 a.m.10:30 Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday. Info: www.farleyspub.com, 575-522-0466 • The Game Sports Bar & Grill, 2605 S. Espina St. just across from Starbuck’s Coffee on University Avenue, offers a full bar, an extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, as well as craft beer. It has a large enclosed patio with lots of shade. The Friday-night beer specials are well worth a trip. Hours: 10 a.m.-midnight Monday-Saturday, 11

a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday. Info: www.thegamebarandgrill.com, 575-524-GAME. • Halo’s, near campus at 2460 S. Locust St., is a bar with a nightclub feel. Happy hour is every day from 4-7 p.m. and each night is a different theme, such as “Two Dollar Tuesdays.” Hours: 4:30 p.m.-midnight Sunday-Wednesday, 4:30 p.m.-2 a.m. Thursday-Saturday. Info: www.haloslascruces.com, 575-323-3531. • High Desert Brewing Co., 1201 W. Hadley Ave., boasts a huge array of local craft brews — stouts, IPAs, ales and pilsners — but a big draw is its nacho platter, which comes in a variety of sizes and will definitely fill you up, particularly if you have it with High Desert’s homemade virgin root beer. The nachos were recently named one of the “30 Best Nachos in America” by Buzz Feed. Local and regional bands play inside every weekend, there’s a smoking/non-smoking patio area with plenty of shade and the restaurant and bar accepts both cash and cards. Hours: 11 a.m.-midnight Monday-Saturday, noon-10 p.m. Sunday. Info: www.highdesertbrewingco.com, 575-525-6752. • Hooters, 3530 Foothills Road, is great for wings, beer and watching sporting events. It’s located near Mesilla Valley Mall, Cineport 10 and across the street from Farley’s Pub. Hours: 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-midnight Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday. Info: www. hooters.com, 575-521-9898. If you’re under 21, we’re not forgetting about you. • Check out 10 Pin Alley, 1201 E. Amador Ave., every Wednesday through Saturday at 9 p.m. until midnight. NMSU students get discounted bowling games with valid IDs. Hours: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, 10 a.m.-midnight Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday. Info: www.10pinalleylc.com, 575-526-8855. • If you want to do some night fishing, (make sure you have a license; find out where to get one at www.wildlife. state.nm.us/fishing/licenses-permits/fishing-li censevendor-list) then go to the duck (Alumni) pond on the NMSU campus, behind the Spiritual Center. Even if you don’t want to fish, this is a great spot to sit around and watch the water and, of course, the ducks. Photos by Victoria Palombit

TIPS for living with a roommate

Most students will, at some point, have a roommate or several. If you’ve never lived with someone as a peer before, it can present some challenges. It also has the potential to turn into a long-term friendship, but if it doesn’t, that’s OK, too. Whether you picked your roomie, or he/she was assigned to your campus residence, here are some tips to navigate the scenario. • Ask permission to use each other’s items. • Be flexible and willing to communicate directly, compromise and negotiate concerns with each other. • Be mindful of the other person’s schedule, such as for sleeping, classes, work, etc. • Try to keep your joint space clean and organized, even if the other person doesn’t. • Be civil. Don’t feel obligated to become lifelong friends, spend holidays at each other’s house, but treat each other respectfully. If your roommate tries to steer a conversation into a negative place, don’t fall for the trap. Quickly end the conversation and get on with your day. • Remember conflict is inevitable in interpersonal relationships and is not always a bad thing. • Develop ground rules or set a roommate agreement early on to make your expectations clear about thing like food sharing, study times and guests.

traditions victory bell

In the 1940s, the Victory Bell, a gift of the class of 1939, was housed in an open‑sided structure on the Horseshoe and rung to announce Aggie victories. In 1972, the bell was rededicated as the N.M. State Engineer’s Bell and now sits at Aggie Memorial Stadium. On game days, various school organizations take turns ringing the bell around Las Cruces prior to kickoff. The bell then sits at Aggie Memorial Stadium waiting to give off a triumphant chime.

Aggies, Oh Aggies! The hills send back the cry, We’re here to do or die! Aggies, Oh Aggies! We’ll win this game or know the reason why! And when we win this game, We’ll buy a keg of booze, And we’ll drink it to the Aggies ‘til we wobble in our shoes!

crimson & white

A‑‑‑G‑‑‑G‑‑‑I‑‑‑E‑‑‑S‑‑! AGGIES! AGGIES! GO AGGIES!

One of N.M. State’s most cherished traditions is that of the “A.” For generations, the “A” has been emblazoned on many items, buildings and landmarks, boldly signifying Aggie pride. The most popular and visible “A” is an annual N.M. State tradition – the painting of the “A” on Tortugas Mountain east of campus. The “A” stands 330 feet tall, roughly the length of a football field.

Fight song

The NMSU Pride of New Mexico is the marching band at New Mexico State University. The Pride hosts the Tournament of Bands, a major marching band competition held in the fall, during which high school bands come from all parts of the Southwest to participate. The competition lasts all day, with a final competition at night. The Pride holds two exhibition performances at the Tournament of Bands. The members and staff of the Pride make it their goal to be the best marching band in the nation. The Pride is not just an ensemble, it is a family whose ties last forever.

One of the most basic symbols that triggers emotion, pride and a sense of identity is color, and when you’re an Aggie, those colors are crimson and white. Crimson is one of the most emotionally stimulating of all the colors in the spectrum. It has the widest depth of symbolism ranging from passion to anger. Crimson represents power, vigor, leadership and strength. White, to many, represents purity, innocence, prestige and good. White, in many cultures, is also suggestive of the springtime and summer, the seasons when crops are planted – a key aspect of this university, as it deals with agriculture. In the education setting, white represents new beginnings. AGGIE HOOKUP 2016-2017 | LAS CRUCES BULLETIN

AGGIE MEMORIAL STADIUM

Located directly on NMSU’s campus, Aggie Memorial Stadium has been the home of the Aggies’ football team since 1978. The Aggies’ first home game at the stadium was on Sept. 16, 1978 against rival University of Texas-El Paso Miners; 20 years later the Aggies and Miners met again at the stadium in front of a stadium-record 32,993 fans. The Aggies won both times. On Oct. 24, 2015, the construction of Club 27, a skybox for the stadium, was completed. The skybox was named after NMSU’s current chancellor, Gary Carruthers, the 27th governor of New Mexico as well as the 27th president of NMSU.

PAN AMERICAN CENTER

Opened in November 1968, the Pan American Center (PAC) has been the home court for Aggies’ basketball and volleyball. In 2007 and 2008, the PAC hosted the men’s and women’s WAC Basketball Championships; the 2007 volleyball championships were also hosted at the PAC. Famous college basketball announcer Dick Vitale once nicknamed the PAC “Pandemonium Center” in the 1998 and 1999 editions of his college basketball review. Vitale wrote the student section made the PAC one of the toughest venues to play in the nation and the toughest venue in the Big West Conference; those students were given the nickname “Panamaniacs.”

STRIKING THE WONDER DOG

Striking the Wonder Dog made his debut on Aug. 30, 2012 as NMSU’s very own canine “receiver.” Striking receives the kicking tee after every kickoff at each home football game. Striking and his handler Steve Stochaj replaced longtime favorite Smoki and his handler Joel Sims.

advice worth taking

your academic advisEr is key to staying on track

As a student, navigating class schedules can be daunting. It’s easy to sign up for a class you don’t need, as many upperclassmen and recent graduates may attest. It is important to coordinate your classes with your academic adviser. The most important aspect of advising is ensuring that the classes you take fulfill your degree and/or the university’s requirements. (That being said, take some fun classes if you want, even if they don’t fulfill any requirements.) This can be determined by examining your Star Audit, accessible via your MyNMSU account. These can be difficult for a student to interpret, but your adviser should be well-versed in doing so. NMSU does not have centralized advising. Each college within the university and even departments within the college will follow a different advising model. An important thing to remember is that advisors are busy people, so plan ahead and get on the schedule early. You will be required to get advised in order to register for classes each semester. If you do not get advised, your account will have holds put on it, prohibiting you from registering. Keep in mind that an adviser’s purview extends beyond mere class registration. If you are

struggling with balancing your academic workload with a job or family life, your academic adviser is an important resource for getting back on track. Advisors can be the superhero to connect you with resources to help you solve challenges unique to you. A full list of college and departmental advisers can be found online at advising.nmsu.edu.

find find your your superhero superhero

Your academic adviser will: • Help you choose a major, learn about degrees and graduation requirements • Help you select, add or drop a course • Monitor your academic progress • Provide you with important information, answer questions and complete any necessary paperwork • Help you understand NMSU policies, procedures and deadlines • Connect you to resources that promote success in and out of the classroom

get legal advice on campus

If you need legal advice, ASNMSU has a licensed lawyer on staff whom you can meet with to discuss whatever legal problems you have. Karl Rysted is licensed in Oklahoma and New Mexico, and can render legal advice and, in rare instances, provide court representation for students dealing with landlord/tenant problems, constitutional law, criminal law and self-help if you are being sued by an entity outside of NMSU. He will meet with you for an hour free of charge because you have already paid for his services through student fees. If after the consultation you think you need further legal representation, Rysted can provide private attorney referrals. Rysted cannot advise you if your issues deal with ASNMSU or NMSU because that would be a conflict of interest. To set up an appointment, visit the Student Legal Aid webpage on the NMSU website and fill out the intake form and email it to krysted@nmsu.edu.

Speaking from experience

“Textbooks are one of those inescapable burdens of life, like taxes, death and colonoscopies. Bottom line: You’re going to need textbooks, and when you do, you want to make sure you get the cheapest prices. That being said, I’d advise trying the Campus Bookstore first. It usually has the books any student may need, or can order them for you, and their prices are significantly lower than Barnes & Noble. There’s also always the option of buying books online, either physical textbooks or downloads to your tablet, smartphone or other digital platform. This latter format can be helpful in searching for a particular word or phrase. Likely the information you’re looking for has already been searched for, not found, then uploaded altruistically for future searchers. I’m not advocating doing this for all of your classes. But as a journalism major taking a psychology class to fulfill a general education requirement, my mindset is: Sometimes good enough is good enough.” — Billy Huntsman, Senior Journalism and Mass Communication

BEAT THE BLUES WITH HELP FROM ONCAMPUS COUNSELING

There is a belief everyone can benefit from counseling. Whether you have long-standing emotional issues or are just going through a rough time, NMSU provides a number of options for dealing with the highs and lows of college life. Some of the most common reasons students seek counseling include depression, anxiety (both can be brought on by feeling homesick), relationship concerns and academic worries. Free counseling services are available at both the NMSU Counseling Center located in Garcia Annex, as well as the clinic located in O’Donnell Hall. Both offices are staffed by a number of psychology graduate students who are supervised by licensed and certified psychologists. One-on-one appointments are available on a limited basis, so it’s likely you’ll be scheduled for such a session once every two weeks. But there are a number of group-therapy options that meet every week. In addition, the NMSU Student Health Center offers mental health services, where students can get prescriptions for anti-anxiety, anti-depressants and other drugs, for a fee of $35 that can be billed to your student account.

rd new mexico ranks 3rd

in suicides staying silent is not the solution

By Meg Long, MPH WAVE Office New Mexico is ranked No. 3 for suicide rates in the United States, just below Alaska and Montana, respectively. For college-age adults, suicide is the second leading cause of death, after unintentional injuries (CDC, 2014). Nearly 1,100 suicides are projected to occur on college campuses this year. Further, one in 12 college students have made a suicide plan at some point in their lives. According to the NMSU 2015 CORE survey, 6.4 percent of NMSU student surveyed reported having thoughts of suicide and 2.6 percent attempted suicide. This high suicide rate suggests that most everyone knows someone who has completed suicide, or has been affected by suicide in some way. Yet the topic of suicide is avoided. Why? There are electronic billboards on I-10 that tell us how many people have been killed in car accidents this year in order to encourage us to drive safely. Meanwhile, there have been more deaths from suicide than cars accidents. Why can we openly discuss deaths caused by car accidents and what to do to prevent it, yet the conversation about suicide is hushed? Perhaps it stems from the lack of control many feel around preventing suicide. The reasons why someone thinks about or attempts suicide are complex and vary from person to person. The inability to have a checklist of how to know if someone is thinking about suicide and what to say to someone can be very discouraging. There are, however, common warning signs to look out for in friends and family.

As a freshman in college, there will be many new experiences in your future. You may feel this new sense of independence, which can be a great feeling, but can come with difficult choices. These choices are yours for the making and some will be tougher than others. One of the many things you will encounter in college is alcohol.There is a common misperception that in order for you to have the college “experience” and “fit in” you should drink despite being underage. The truth is more than a third of NMSU students rarely or never drink (2015 CORE Survey). If you choose to drink, there are ways to reduce your risk of potentially serious consequences. • Always use a designated driver. In the 2015 Student Lifestyle survey 68 percent of NMSU students have never driven under the influence and 62 percent served as a sober designated driver. NMSU also has several options for free rides, including Crimson Cab, Crimson Coach and Pete’s Pick Up. • Set a drinking limit and don’t play drinking games (or cheat at drinking games). Avoid binge drinking (five drinks for men and four drinks for women in a period of two hours or less). Binge drinking can lead to blacking out, passing out and alcohol poisoning. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, you can alternate drinks with non-alcoholic drinks to slow down the process of intoxication. Keep track of the number of drinks you have as the night goes on. • Utilize the buddy system. Sexual assault is an issue

that affects both men and women, and the buddy system can help you safeguard each other. Never leave your buddy somewhere if you feel it is unsafe. Be accountable for each other! Never leave with a person you just met; exchange numbers and meet up while you both are sober. • Keep an eye on your drink. Never leave your drink unattended to protect yourself from date rape drugs. Avoid drinking from punch bowls or pitchers, since they are easy to drug and it is difficult to tell how much alcohol it contains. • Eat before and/or during partying. • Never hesitate to call for help. If someone is showing signs of alcohol poisoning (shallow breathing, clammy skin, vomiting, blacking out and/or passing out), call 911 immediately. Never try to give the person a cold shower, coffee, or allow them to sleep it off. Alcohol may be legal (at least for those who are 21) and it comes in many different flavors, with lots of colors and pretty bottles, but it is still a dangerous drug on which you can overdose, or become addicted to over time. If you are interested in taking a survey to find out how your alcohol use compares to other college students go to http://wave.nmsu.edu/e-chug/.

SEXUAL ASSAULT EE B B

BY ALEX WHEELER, WAVE PEER EDUCATOR

REMEMBER IT IS NEVER THE VICTIM’S FAULT Campus sexual assault is an uncomfortable topic, but one that must be talked about. Did you know that one in six women have been a victim of attempted or completed rape in her lifetime and three percent of men have been a victim of attempted or completed rape in their lifetime? While in college, a young woman’s risk increases to one in four chance of being sexually assaulted. This means that someone you may already know or someone you may meet on this campus has been a victim of sexual assault. So what exactly qualifies as sexual assault? Sexual assault may consist of sexual harassment, stalking, sexual coercion, sexual contact (unwanted fondling/groping, attempted rape, and rape). Often, the victim of sexual assault or rape faces blame and shaming. “What were they wearing?” “How much were they drinking?” “They should have fought back.” “They shouldn’t have gone out alone.” “Did they send mixed signals?” These all perpetuate rape culture. And this needs to stop. It is never the victim’s fault. Ever. Rape and sexual assault are not crimes of passion and love. Rape and sexual assault is about power and control. So what can you, as men and women of this campus, do to help prevent sexual assault? When you go out be safe and stay together.

Large parties can be fun, but they can also be dangerous. Make sure to keep track of your drink. Don’t leave it unattended and don’t accept a drink that has already been opened for you. You can’t be positive of what’s in the drink. Watch other people’s drinks. If you notice someone has put something in someone’s drink, do something about it. Stop the person from doing it and stop the person from drinking it. Or if it’s more comfortable for you, tell someone else and they can step in. Be careful while drinking, in general. Alcohol is the number one drug used to initiate sexual assault. It is important to know that consent cannot be given when a person is intoxicated. Consent is a sober, verbal, and continuous yes. Don’t be a bystander. If you see someone getting sexually assaulted, help them. If someone comes to you claiming to be victim, believe them and help them. Contact the police or reach out to area resources such as La Piñon rape crisis center at 575-526-3437 or the WAVE office Other resources include the Counseling Center (575-646-2731) and the Office of Institutional Equity (575-646-3635). If you ever find yourself in a situation with your partner where things are starting to go to the next level and you feel uncomfortable, don’t be afraid to say “no.” Or if your partner says “no” or that they’re uncomfortable, stop and don’t get upset. Listen to them and respect their wishes.

The NMSU Police Department has a full slate of officers, emergency-services personnel and public safety aides to serve the student body. It’s a full-service department that handles everything from routine patrols to criminal investigations and victim assistance. Another function of the department is educating students on safety. The department regularly publishes information to Facebook and Twitter. Follow at facebook.com/NMSUPolice or @NMSUPolice on Twitter. It hosts a variety of free workshops throughout the year that focus on safety and self-defense. The department has a couple of special departments, such as the Officer Involved Shooting Task Force and the Victim Services Unit.

ON-CAMPUS SAFETY TIPS

• Use high-quality “U” locks on all bicycles, locking both the frame and front tire to the rack. • When in an interpersonal relationship, remember that “no” means exactly that. If the other person is asleep, intoxicated or drugged, they are incapable of giving consent. Any sexual contact at that point is a crime — no matter what they may have said or done earlier. • Roll up windows and lock doors on vehicles and campus residences. Do not leave property in plain sight from windows, or anywhere on campus unattended. • Be aware of potential scams via phone calls or email. Don’t give out personal information over the phone unless you are sure of the source of the request. • If you see someone else in danger, say something, do something and call for help. If you see an unsafe condition like a fallen tree limb or power line, flooded streets or other hazards, report it promptly.

Managing your finances can be difficult, stressful and confusing. But NMSU offers a number of resources that students can utilize in order to make the best financial decisions for their individual situations. Follow me as we explore the many facets of financial management!

Y DE ED FE ER RA RF L AL OR LF FO P FIIN YF P L NA A P AN P NC O A CIIA T O AL T LA W AIID O W H O D H

To qualify for subsidized loans (where you don’t acquire interest and don’t have to repay until after you graduate), unsubsidized loans (where you do) or work-study employment with the university, students should annually fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.ed.gov. The financial aid office can help students complete the application and find scholarships. Here’s what you’ll need to complete the paperwork:

• Student and parent Social Security numbers • Parent date of birth • Student alien registration or permanent resident card • Student and parent previous year’s tax W-2, 1099, 1098-T and federal tax returns • Student and parent previous year’s untaxed income records (such as VA non-educational benefits, child support or worker’s compensation) • Knowledge of student and parent current savings, checking, cash, net worth of investments, net worth of current business and/or investment farms.

Get local aid through Scholar Dollars

Scholar Dollars is an NMSU-based student aid program. The application process is less intense than the FAFSA and a host of college- and degree-specific university scholarships are available to students based on their applications. Once you fill out an application, it can be used to apply for every scholarship the university offers. For a complete list of NMSU scholarships, visit the Scholar Dollars’ page on the NMSU website at https://scholarships. nmsu.edu.

Students at NMSU can find temporary, seasonal, part-time or full-time work or internships with the help of Aggie Career Manager. To utilize this tool, you will need to register online with your Aggie ID number, which will serve as your username. Once you have created a profile, you can upload documents — such as resumes, cover letters, letters of recommendation — to your account and submit these documents to jobs for which you want to apply.

A plethora of local, regional and national employers have postings on the site, as well as work-study opportunities. All you have to do is search by keyword or an employer’s name. You can even save a job to apply for later, and set up to receive notification when a particular employer posts a new job. Be warned: Though NMSU Career Services tries to vet each posting, some fraudulent jobs or even scams get through. If a job seems too good to be true, it probably is and should be reported to Career Services to be removed immediately.

CAREER CAREER SERVICES SERVICES PROVIDES PROVIDES SUPPORT SUPPORT FOR FOR JOB-SEEKERS JOB-SEEKERS CAREER SERVICES LOCATION: Garcia Annex, room 224 PHONE: 575-646-1631 HOURS: 8am - 5pm Monday - Friday

Career Services office, Garcia Annex Building room 224 between Corbett Center Student Union and Breland Hall, is a valuable resource for career-oriented information, materials and counseling. It wouldn’t hurt to familiarize yourself with this office soon, because as you progress through your college years and begin looking out into your career prospects as graduation nears, this office can be incredibly useful. It can help with resume reviews, cover letter guidance, interview coaching, assistance with how to conduct a job search and reviews of employment offers.

SAVE MONEY BY PRINTING ON CAMPUS!

Ink cartridges are expensive, so if you have to print, you may want to use on-campus printers and computers. Your NMSU student ID comes pre-loaded with $20 each school year. This money can be used to print through on-campus computers. Black-and-white print jobs are 10 cents per page, and color print jobs are 20 cents a page. Stand-alone printing stations are located at certain spots on campus, and any of the seven computer labs on campus offer computers for use and printing. • Pete’s Place, Corbett Center 2nd floor • Corbett Center Food Court • Zuhl Library, 1st floor • Knox Hall room 146 • Hardman & Jacobs Undergraduate Learning Center rooms 101 and 206 • Vista del Monte on-campus apartments
