Raising awareness of human trafficking

About 20 students lit candles to protest human trafficking in New Mexico during a candlelight vigil Wednesday night in front of the UNM Bookstore. The vigil was organized by Women Empowerment Developing Global Leadership, a student organization at UNM. Natalie Peña, a member of the organization, said WEDGL started to organize the protest in midJanuary. She said the event aimed to bring awareness to the University community about the severity of human trafficking in the state.

“What we’re trying to do is to just bring awareness of the issues around sex trafficking in particular because it’s happening here in our own state,” she said. “We don’t know it occurs, but it happens more often in New Mexico because we’re really close … to the borders.”

Peña said human trafficking in the state most often involves women from Mexico. Peña said that although human trafficking does not seem to be a big problem in the state, she said students still need to be aware it happens. She said the University community should care more about the problem. “It’s a big issue,” she said. “We need to be aware of it as citizens.”

UNM to Full bench wallops Wolf Pack 66-43 light it up with LEDs

UNM’s main campus will be more luminous by the end of this year.

Physical Plant Department Director Mary Vosevich said the University has allotted $120,000 to fund additional lighting on the west side of Zimmerman Library and to replace existing outdoor lights around campus with LED bulbs. She said UNM secured funds from the state Legislature and it’s expecting to finish the installations by the end of 2013.

Vosevich said the department assesses campus lighting annually.

She said various University departments, such as the Physical Plant and the office of the dean of students, have done their own safety walks to identify which spots need more or upgraded lighting. These department-run safety walks are different from the UNM-run campus safety walks, which the University organizes each semester, and the department-run and UNM-run safety

The Nevada women’s basketball team will try to quickly forget its first-ever visit to The Pit. The Lobos flattened the Wolf Pack 66-43, UNM’s largest margin of victory during Mountain West Conference play.

New Mexico had 12 of 14 players score and shot 50 percent from the field, compared to 25.9 percent for Nevada.

Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said the win met her expectations this late in the season.

“This feels good. For us to play everyone, make the most of our opportunities, play hard, and play great defense, it was a good game for us,” she said.

The Lobos limited the Wolf Pack to 18 points in the first half, which is the lowest point total allowed in the first half of the conference season for UNM. New Mexico continued to stifle Nevada’s offense in the second half by holding the Wolf Pack scoreless for the first 6:28, allowing a 17-0 run for the Lobos.

New Mexico had 48 points inside the paint, 33 bench points and 19 assists in the victory.

Sanchez said New Mexico’s selflessness was a key component offensively.

“It’s a good balance. When you

An incomparable personal experience, academic improvement and the chance to learn new languages: Those are just some of the advantages of participating in the University’s Study Abroad Program.

International exchange programs have become a great option for students who want to improve their college experience and have high expectations for their career paths. Not sure where to start? These are the steps that students must take to study abroad according to Jason Jones, a study-abroad recruitment coordinator for UNM’s Global Education Office.

Lights

walks are supposed to complement one another.

“As a result of the campus safety walks, if there are any areas identified that it would be appropriate to have additional lighting, we would look at those as a potential project,” Vosevich said.

Vosevich said the lighting renovations are driven by student input.

“Last year, ASUNM petitioned the Legislature for funds for lighting,” she said. “The students have been very involved in it. They have helped us to get the funds for this, and they should be applauded for that.”

Gary Smith, associate director of environmental services in the Physical Plant, said the University already replaced lighting on the north side of Zimmerman, at the Health Sciences Center, and at the Duck Pond.

He said renovations are ongoing on the west side of Zimmerman, in Redondo Hall, on Johnson Field and around Marron Hall.

Smith said the department chose to replace lights with LED lights because they are brighter and more energy-efficient than other types of bulbs.

“And it’s not a harsh light,” he said. “It kind of washes the area so it’s more visible.”

Smith said each light pole has a number attached to it. If students notice a problem with the pole, they can take note of the number and report it to the Physical Plant so the department can fix the problem. Smith said adding lighting on campus will make UNM safer at night.

“We are a very urban campus,” he said. “We have 40,000 to 50,000

people a day on campus, and they’re not all here to get educated.”

Student Affairs Vice President Eliseo “Cheo” Torres said the dean of students and Student Affairs submitted a recommendation about the lighting renovations to the Physical Plant last month. He said they wrote the recommendation after four representatives from the departments conducted an unofficial campus safety walk in early February. He said the University also brought in lighting experts to evaluate the efficiency of the campus’s lighting last semester.

“We have 40,000 to 50,000 people a day on campus, and they’re not all here to get educated.” ~Gary Smith associate director of environmental services “By doing a lot of these things, we’re doing initiatives to prevent (sexual assault) incidents from happening,” he said. “And if it does happen, we act fast.”

Two sexual assaults have happened on campus recently. The first was Jan. 27, when two men allegedly groped a female student at Johnson Field under her clothes.

The second assault happened Feb. 4, when a man allegedly groped a

female student over her clothes near Castetter Hall.

UNM junior Marissa Wilson said the additional lighting will make her feel safer on campus, especially when it gets dark.

“I’m usually here until 9 o’clock at night every night, and walking through a dark campus just makes me go uneasy and paranoid,” she said. “It makes me a little more comfortable walking on campus at night.”

Wilson said additional lighting could also decrease the possibility that sexual assault cases would happen again on campus.

“People can actually see events happening and might be more likely to intervene,” she said. “I mean, if you can’t see it, you can’t stop it. That could discourage people from just hurting other people.”

Robert Burford, student conduct officer for the office of the dean of students, said the University is also considering alternative options to improve lighting conditions, such as adding lights to existing poles. Although he said the University already has enough lighting, Burford said the University should still take into consideration the lights’ efficiency.

Burford said he still thinks the campus is safe. But he said it is still important for people to educate themselves about campus safety resources.

“I have two young daughters, and I would feel very safe having them here,” he said. “But anything can happen, whether in here or in Albuquerque somewhere. People need to be aware and be cautious enough.”

Utah mulls making visible liquor legal Bartenders currently must hide pouring alcohol

by Annie Knox

The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Wine spritzers are a favorite at Rovali’s near Salt Lake City. Behind the bar, in full view of patrons, waiters siphon soda and syrup into glasses of ice — then they duck behind a fake olive tree and a barricade to add the chardonnay.

Utah’s famously strict liquor laws forbid the restaurant from allowing customers to see alcohol being poured into a drink, largely based on the idea that children and others should be shielded from the act. “Zion curtains” went up in establishments around the state as part of a compromise after lawmakers lifted a mandate in 2010 requiring bars to operate as members-only social clubs.

This year, however, the curtains may be coming down.

Utah lawmakers are considering whether to repeal the requirement, which applies to restaurants that are less than 3 years old, to ease restrictions and encourage new business. A bill repealing the requirement passed the Utah House Tuesday.

It now heads to the Senate.

It would mark yet another small step by the state to relax its liquor laws.

Lawmakers have introduced a handful of bills pending this year that would ease Utah regulations, including a measure allowing customers to order a drink before they order food and another to make more liquor licenses available to restaurants.

The so-called Zion curtains have a long history in the state, the nickname a nod to Utah’s legacy as home to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

They first went up decades ago in the social clubs that existed before bars were legalized in 2009, unmistakable glass walls separating customers from bartenders.

Those who want to do away with the newer incarnations say the law forces restaurant owners to waste money and space on configurations that keep bartenders out of sight of patrons, either through barriers or strategically positioned service bars.

Curtain opponents also say the law hinders tourism by annoying outsiders and reinforcing their perception of Utah as staunchly sober.

When waiters at Rovali’s,

Letters Judgemental Christians flout Christ’s teachings Editor, It’s the mistaken and unfortunate distraction of Pauline Christianity that makes people believe they represent Christ when in fact they very much do not. If they would only read the Gospels instead of mouthing words proclaimed by the so-called “apostle” to the nations.

Christ represented compassion to the thieves, prostitutes and downtrodden, as is exemplified in most of the passages in Mark, Luke, Matthew and John. When the woman caught in the act of adultery was presented to him for stoning, he shamed the conservatives and religious leaders by reminding them “whoever is without mistakes shall cast the first stone.” Christ, thank God, was not a Christian.

Unhappy with ASUNM? Get to know candidates Editor, In case you haven’t heard, it’s ASUNM election season. As an undergraduate, I encourage all of my peers to make this election season different and become more involved in the election process.

We should use ASUNM senators’ roles in the Chick-fil-A controversy as a learning experience for how we approach this next election. For those who may have missed it, ASUNM senators passed a resolution on Feb. 20 to recommend removing Chick-fil-A from campus. A resolution is a gesture and, in this case, it was a recommendation to the SUB Board for its vote on Feb. 27.

However, ASUNM got some flak from those constituents who felt the resolution did not match the wishes of the majority.

I urge you to speak with the candidates to see how they view their role and duty to their student constituents, especially if you believe the issue was mishandled.

I can speak from experience from my relationships with some of the current senators and candidates, which began in high school student council. For the most part, these candidates truly want to make a difference in the UNM community and are not just looking for political gain or résumé boosters. However, if candidates came out and said that they were running for personal gain, I’d endorse them out of sheer respect for their honesty.

Help these potential senators help you.

ASUNM has the power to make significant change that can impact your experience at UNM. Even though you’re already rerouting your path to class so you don’t pass through Smith Plaza, stop by on the days the candidates are out there in their matching garb — yes, the slate colors are happening again this year — and speak with them. Let them know what issues are important to you, and ask them how they view their role so we can avoid another miscommunication in the future.

Attend the forums, engage with the slates on their Facebook pages and talk with them when they interrupt your student group meeting. Many of these candidates hope to be politically active in the future and will be in similar decisionmaking situations. Because we live in a democratic republic, citizens don’t have the opportunity to vote on every issue.

Therefore, it is imperative that we use the voting power we do have to elect people who best represent us.

Column

Safety net strangles America’s future

by David Bergeron

Daily Lobo guest columnist opinion@dailylobo.com As of Tuesday, the United States has a national debt of $16.7 trillion that is only increasing and an economy that isn’t. Last year, we spent 35 percent more than we received in revenue. And the year before that, and the year before that. For the fourth year in a row, we have deficits in excess of $1 trillion. We are operating without a budget and haven’t had one for more than three years. Without a budget, there is no national plan for how we spend taxpayer dollars — the spending just happens.

To date, the Federal Reserve has printed $2.7 trillion — created it out of thin air — reducing the value of every dollar you earn. It plans to continue to create additional money to the tune of $40 billion per month through 2015 — an additional $1.5 trillion. If it stops there, the Fed will have created $4.1 trillion.

Just for the record, as of Oct. 12, there was $1.14 trillion in physical U.S. currency circulating in the world, i.e, M0 funds. Adding in the M1, M2 and M3 funds — M1 is money in checking accounts and the part of M0 not held by private banks, M2 is M1 plus money in market/savings accounts and M3 is certificates of deposit plus M2 — there was about $10 trillion total before the Fed started. The Fed assures us that everything is OK, it’s in control and it knows what it’s doing.

We spend almost 60 percent of federal taxpayer money on programs to assist people who the politicians think are just too damn stupid to take care of themselves. That’s why they created all those programs. You know the ones — Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, assistance programs, etc. For the two largest, Medicare and Social Security, they take part of your paycheck every month and assure you that when you reach retirement age, the government will take care of you. The only problem is it spent the money.

The physical manifestation of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds is a binder filled with nonnegotiable bonds — read: worthless paper — which are essentially IOUs “backed by the good faith and credit of the United States.”

Unfortunately, the U.S. credit rating is slipping.

There are fewer governments and agencies buying U.S. Treasury notes today, and I suspect the number of buyers will continue to decrease further over time, if they’re smart.

We’re in a hole, a deep one. It’s getting deeper every day. We have a president who is a proficient excavator. Prodigious, in fact. He wants to add 30 million people to the health care rolls and tells us with a straight face it will save us

money. He will fund it in part by eliminating $700 billion in fraud, waste and abuse in the very program that he’s trying to expand. Hello, is anybody home?

The president wants to expand programs that have been in place for 45 years that we know don’t work. We know because we have empirical evidence of their failure. The government even publishes the evidence every year: just check census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/ data/incpovhlth/2010/figure4.pdf. From 1959 to 1968, the poverty rate fell from 23.5 percent to 12.5 percent, more than 10 percentage points in nine years. In nine years we went from having 40 million people in poverty to fewer than 25 million.

Then the government stepped in. In 1965, seeing the rapid fall of the poverty rate, the government passed the famed “war on poverty” legislation. It went into effect in 1967, after the 89th Congress was safely out of office. From 1968 to 2012, we’ve gone from 12.5 percent living in poverty to more than 15 percent; from 25 million people to more than 45 million people.

Crisis averted. How could the country have survived with a poverty rate at 3 or 4 percent?

This is not a rant about the president. Make no mistake; we didn’t get in this mess just because of what he’s done. There are 100 years of politicians who came before him. But he does advocate for solutions that will exacerbate the problem. The adage “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem” comes to mind.

One thing is for certain. Politicians will never provide you with a solution to your problems. They want you to have problems. They need you to have problems. If you don’t have problems, you don’t need the politicians, which scares the hell out of them. We continue to dig.

How bad are the problems? If we don’t change course soon, we have a 50 percent chance of seeing our country fail, i.e., go bankrupt, in the next four years. That probability goes to 90 percent if you expand the time frame to eight years. The math dictates these answers. If you can’t live spending 35 percent more than you make every year, then chances are neither can any government. But they always seem to try.

When the wheels come off, it will not be pretty. What happens when the 47 percent of people in this country who depend upon the government for their daily subsistence don’t get the money they are expecting, or if the money they get is worthless? History is a pretty good predictor of what happens next. Look up the Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, Argentina or Greece. How they got into the mess they were in is very similar to how we got to where we are

today. There is a difference, though. In all of those cases, a country or countries stepped in to help them through the crisis. What country can or will step in to save the United States?

We cannot continue to spend at the rates we are spending. And make no mistake: It is a spending problem. There is a $121 trillion unfunded liability in Medicare and Social Security, the two largest items in the federal budget.

So we have to cut spending.

If you want to balance the budget today by cutting nondiscretionary spending, here’s what you have to do. You have to zero-fund and eliminate the following: the legislative branch, the judicial branch, the executive branch, the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, the Interior, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation and Veterans Affairs.

In addition, you will have to zero-fund the Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, the General Services Administration, international assistance programs, NASA, the Office of Personnel Management and the Small Business Administration. And finally, you have to cut the Department of Defense by 50 percent. What does all this mean? It means the only path to fiscal stability and responsibility is through cuts to Medicare, Social Security and the assistance programs.

We need to fundamentally rethink what we want or need from government. If we do not, we will have a whole different set of problems in just a few years. I am not suggesting we should not have a safety net. It’s just that the safety net should not have to catch the entire population.

We’re smarter than that.

Oh, by the way, if you’re looking for someone to blame, which seems to be something we need, or if you need to hold someone accountable, the answer is as close as your nearest mirror. While all these problems may have been caused by someone else, it was our responsibility and we failed. A government of the people, by the people and for the people, so on and so forth.

points, a career-high 11 rebounds and two assists.

Brown said she had to remain aggressive in the paint, especially against Nevada’s 6-foot-7-inch sophomore center Mimi Mungedi who totaled 11 points and three blocks for the Wolf Pack (7-21, 2-13 MWC).

“I wanted to disrupt the game with offensive rebounds. Our posts did a great job of clearing out some of their posts, which allowed opportunities for the guards to grab a few boards,” Brown said.

With the win, New Mexico (15-13, 7-8) remains in fifth place behind San Diego State, Fresno State, Wyoming and UNLV. The Nevada matchup was the second-to-last game at The Pit for seniors Caroline Durbin, Jourdan Erskine, Jayme Jackson and Chinyere Nnaji. But Sanchez said she has not pressured the team to win for the seniors.

“We never talked about winning for the seniors, but rather just playing hard for them. If they play hard, play smart, and play together then good things happen,” Sanchez said. “I learned from (former coach) Don Flanagan that if you play as hard as you can and leave it all on the court, that we’ll live with any result.”

which opened in Ogden in 2010, explain the state’s befuddling liquor laws to out-of-towners, Montanez said, “You see the eye roll.”

“That kind of stifles guests,” he said. “They’re a little rankled by these weird laws.”

The measure won’t breeze through the Republican-dominated Senate. Some lawmakers warn that removing the mandate could encourage underage drinking and influence customers to imbibe too much.

The majority of Utah legislators and residents belong to the Mormon church, which teaches its members to abstain from alcohol.

“Alcohol is a drug,” said Sen. John Valentine (R-Orem) who opposes the law. “It has social costs.

We have DUIs. We have underage drinkers. We have problems that are caused by drinking.”

Valentine said he would consider supporting the proposal if the state promised trade-offs such as bulking up police presence around restaurants and nearby roads or a measure keeping children from entering restaurants serving liquor.

For restaurant owners moving into existing spaces, the law presents a nightmare, said Rep.

Ryan Wilcox (R-Ogden). Restaurants sometimes have to cut into floor space, he said, where more tables should be.

“It really just hampers the new guys, the little guys,” Wilcox said.

“A lot of these guys, too, they’re not large operators. They’ve got one shop: ‘This is my restaurant.

My lifelong dream. I’ve invested everything into this.’”

At Rovali’s in Ogden, Montanez plays sommelier for guests who order wine service, setting off a presentation that underscores the patchwork nature of current laws. Montanez opens the wine at the table and invites guests to sniff the cork. If they purchase the bottle, he can pour and serve without restriction. If they order by the glass, however, he must slip away to pour the drink behind a partition.

“Everything we do is show,” Montanez said, likening the visible pouring of drinks to a dessert cart.

The display of pastries and sweets bolsters dessert sales at the restaurant by about 15 percent, he said. And Montanez estimates that taking the curtain down would boost wine sales by a similar margin.

“You can’t get creative, that’s for sure,” he said of the partition.

Rick Bowmer / AP photo Manager Lindsay Pitts walks around the bar which is beyond the view of patrons in the kitchen of La Jolla Groves Restaurant on Feb. 26 in Salt Lake City. Utah lawmakers are considering repealing a law that requires restaurants to mix alcoholic drinks out of view from patrons.

“You have to stick with the rules.”

Melva Sine, president of the Utah Restaurant Association, said the curtain mandate confuses diners and raises eyebrows.

Utah should impose one set of rules for all restaurants, regardless of their start date, Sine said.

“It lessens consumer confidence: What’s the reason that you’re doing this in the back room?” she said.

Sine rejects the notion that the visible flow of liquor would tempt youngsters to drink.

“We have got to stop feeling like everyone who drinks alcohol is doing something wrong,” she said. “We all want people to go out and enjoy themselves and be responsible.”

Sweet Embellishment Story by Antonio Sanchez Photos by Sergio Jiménez

C

andy-maker Pat Wheeler knows her sweets. Chocolate, truffles, candied popcorn, cake pops — you name it, she’ll tell you how to make it. But Wheeler shook her head at The Specialty Shop last Monday when asked about the secret behind a new chocolatemaking technique she created.

“In my candy classes, I’ve made new candies that are kind of out there,” Wheeler said. “It is a new technique to New Mexico.

I can’t tell yet, but it is going to be awesome.”

Wheeler works at The Specialty Shop, a small candy-and-cakedecorating shop where customers can buy decorating supplies and take candy-making and cake-decorating classes. The store opened in May of 1973. The original owners retired nine years ago, and that’s when Anna and Dave Adkins took over.

Wheeler was asked to work as a part-time employee at The Specialty Shop 17 years ago after taking a cake-decorating course at the shop. She said she took the course to help improve her work as a cake decorator at a local grocery bakery.

She said she’s had a fondness for baking since she was a child.

“I was raised on a farm in Kansas and if you didn’t make it, you didn’t eat it. And so I learned to bake and cook as a very young child — to bake cakes and cookies with my mother and my grandmother, cupcakes and things,” she said.

Wheeler is the manager of The Specialty Shop and has worked alongside the shop’s founder and the store’s current owners.

Wheeler said her passion for dec-

orating cakes was reaffirmed after the passing of Harriet Mozley, the store founder, a number of years ago.

“When Harriet Mozley passed away, I told her son that as sad as we all were that day, that somewhere in Albuquerque a grandmother or someone made a cake for their grandchild that learned that skill from Harriet 30 or 40 years ago, and that’s why you do it,” she said. “It’s going to give memories to kids

for their birthday, it’s going to be a birthday cake, it’s going to be a box of chocolate candy that comes every year for Christmas from somebody, and those things are remembered and looked forward to.”

The Specialty Shop is crammed with rows of colorful ribbons, assorted cake tins and bins of cake frosting and sprinkles. In one end of the store are rows of bagged handmade candy, and at the oth-

er are shelves of flowers, cake platforms and figurines to top wedding cakes.

Co-owner Anna Adkins has helped teach a few of the cake decorating courses at the shop since her arrival nine years ago, including a course about decorating wedding cakes, cupcakes and traditional cakes. Adkins is a certified cake decorator, having taken a Wilton Master Course in cake decorating

in Chicago. Adkins said she teaches four traditional cakedecorating courses, ranging from an introductory course about leveling, filling and icing a cake to an advanced course in which the final project is creating a twotiered cake that can be sold at any bakery.

“Some people will take all four courses — go from not even know-

ing how to even decorate a cake, to a multilayered cake, dealing with buttercream or gum paste flour,” Adkins said. “It’s a pretty wide span to progressing to do some pretty advanced techniques with just doing those four courses.”

Adkins said she has worked with more than 500 students since she began teaching at the shop.

She said she is proud her work has helped students learn how to make cakes, whether they bake for friends or start a new business of their own.

“One day I was walking into a

cupcake store and I walked in just to check it out, and the lady at the front desk, the owner, she said, ‘You taught me everything I know … I was in your cake-decorating classes at The Specialty Shop, and through that I was able to start my business,’” she said. “That was a really humbling moment for me, and I felt really honored that I was able to help her along her journey, so she could be able to pursue her dream. I just felt a part of something big in her own life.”

have on somebody. Wheeler said that in 1994, a seriously ill little girl who had recently had both of her legs removed asked for one thing for her birthday: a unicorn cake.

“It was the look on her face when she picked up her cake.

And the managers had allowed me the extra time to do whatever I wanted to that cake, and that’s why I do what I do. That’s the memories that are created in this store,” she said.

The UNM School of Law Staff Art Show is the first of four art shows in which staff, students, faculty, alumni and friends of the school can have their artwork displayed in the gallery of the law school forum. The Staff Art Show began Jan. 11 and will end Monday.

Sherri Burr, regents professor of law and chair of the law school’s art committee, said the idea for the show first came up after she noticed the department had a small number of donated pieces of art.

The art committee is in charge of counting and cataloging the department’s donated art. Burr said she spoke to Robert Flinkman, another member of the committee, about the situation.

“We needed more art and the law school has this huge forum, and we were trying to see how to get art on the wall. Initially, a student had an idea to put a student show in the venue, but then as a committee we decided to go broader and just do a gallery in the whole forum, so that’s how we started,” Burr said. Now the work of three staff members — Flinkman, retiree Dan Noyes and Nick Humphries, the law school facilities coordinator — is displayed in the law school forum.

Flinkman first approached Humphries to ask him about having some of Humphries’ work presented in the gallery. “(Flinkman) said, ‘Go ahead and bring a couple pieces of your work.’ I thought there was only going to be maybe one or two hung up,” Humphries said. “The more we started talking, it was like, ‘Let’s move this one here and let’s put this one here,’ and we started talking about placement, how things would work and go together.”

This is the first time Humphries’ art has ever been displayed in an art gallery, he said. Six portraits hung in the center of the gallery are colorful monotype prints, which are made by etching a smooth surface and then using it to create prints on paper. Humphries said the art show

provides an opportunity for artists like him to receive some attention.

“I think it’s just cool that the law school was cool enough to have me and put up my artwork, to actually get an opportunity to display some of my work where people can actually see it,” he said.

Flinkman has five black-andwhite landscape etchings in the art show. He said he has had other work displayed in galleries in New Mexico and New York. He said the Staff Art Show helps showcase the lesser-known talents of those at the law school.

“It’s important to show the variety of interests. There is far more talent there than people realize within the staff and the students, as well,” Flinkman said. “Besides academic achievements, there’s also other achievements made in a creative field, visually too. Law covers not only business and finance, but art, as well.”

Burr teaches a law art course at the University, co-wrote the book “Art Law: Cases and Materials” and hosts “Arts Talk,” a talk show in which Burr interviews contemporary artists. Burr said students have reacted positively to the art show.

“Students have talked about how it’s transformed the environment and how it felt so good to be at the law school when you’re in this art environment,” she said. “It’s been interesting to see the responses, that people are very intrigued by the idea of having your employees furnish the art that’s on the walls.”

The UNM School of Law Staff Art Show in the Not for Profit Art Gallery in the law school’s main foyer 1117 Stanford Dr. N.E. Open 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Juan Labreche / @LabrecheMode / Daily Lobo Ethan Prueitt inspects the bathroom in the Center for Fine Arts on Wednesday, examining the general condition of its fixtures. Prueitt posts reviews of UNM bathrooms online at unmrestroomreview.blogspot.com, which has garnered 3,900 views over the past month.

by Nicole Perez

culture@dailylobo.com One recent UNM graduate spends his lunch breaks evaluating urinal privacy, toilet paper supplies and the stall graffiti of campus bathrooms.

“I want the full experience of what it’s like to use the restroom, not just to be in the restroom,” Ethan Prueitt said. “So that’s how I know that the toilet in the Hibben Center sprays water out at you.”

Prueitt, who’s employed to do data analysis for the University, spends about 15 minutes in two bathrooms per week and then writes reviews, which he posts on his blog, UNMRestroomReview. blogspot.com. Bathrooms are judged on cleanliness, aesthetics, wall art, comfort and supplies.

“I want to go to all the places I haven’t been to see if there’s a unique bathroom experience on campus, as weird as that sounds,” Prueitt said.

It started when he jokingly wrote a Facebook status about his experience using a bathroom in the Hibben Center for Archaeology Research.

Many of his friends commented, telling Prueitt where they like to use the bathroom on campus. Prueitt jokingly said he would start a blog, but then the topic was so popular that he decided to actually start one. He took one of the Facebook suggestions, Scholes Hall, and wrote a review

called “Presidential Poo.” “(Scholes Hall) was as nice as I thought, but it didn’t have any personality,” Prueitt said. “That’s kind of weird, but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I want to find that special space you want to go. It didn’t have that UNM flare.”

Prueitt said he’s starting on the west end of campus and moving east, reviewing one bathroom per student building. Rather than stars, his rating system is enumerated in clean toilet seats. For example, Scholes Hall got 8.5 clean toilet seats out of 10.

“I go for the look of the place, like does it look nice or is it dark and gloomy?” Prueitt said. “If they have supplies like toilet paper or soap, which there wasn’t in Mesa Vista. So I carry a little bottle of Purell with me, because you never know.”

Almost everything is up for scrutiny in a bathroom, from architecture to ventilation to hand dryers.

“Sometimes they have really big gaps in the stalls, so that loses points for the bathroom because it’s weird when you see people looking in your general direction,” he said.

But there’s one thing Prueitt said he doesn’t judge: smell.

“I try not to judge something like smells because you don’t know who was in there before you. It wouldn’t be a fair review,” he said. “If someone just destroyed it, then it wouldn’t be fair to the bathroom.”

The University of New Mexico Student Publications Board is now Accepting Applications for

2013-2014 Daily Lobo Editor Apply at: unmjobs.unm.edu Application Deadline: 1 p.m. Friday, March 29, 2013.

Term of Office: May 2013 through April 2014.

Requirements: To be selected as editor of the Daily Lobo, the candidate must be a student enrolled at the University of New Mexico, have been enrolled in 6 hours or more at UNM the current and preceding semester, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 by the end of the preceding semester. The editor must be enrolled as a UNM student in a degree-granting program for 6 hours or more throughout the term of office. Some publication experience preferable.

For more information call 277-5656.

Prueitt’s friend and fellow reviewer Hannah Becker said she first saw a bathroom review at Washington University and then wanted to join when Prueitt started his blog. She said that Prueitt’s starting a bathroom review blog seemed to be his cup of tea.

“It wouldn’t have surprised me because he has such an imagination and a creative brain,” she said. “He has a very random sense of humor that’s not very common.”

Prueitt studied political science at UNM and is applying for the MBA program in the fall, but he didn’t do a lot of writing as an undergraduate.

“I never did any creative writing or any blogs or anything like this,” he said. “I enjoy writing about things that are stupid, because then I can say whatever I want and it’s not important, so I’ve been enjoying this experience.”

And apparently people enjoy reading Prueitt’s writing. His blog had 3,900 views as of Wednesday morning, and he said he’s had people viewing it from Colombia, South Korea, Poland and the United Kingdom.

“I didn’t expect it to break 200. I thought it would be the same small group of people who wanted to read it, but it feels good, I guess,” he said.

“It’s also a little sad that 1,300 people read about my bathroom experience; it’s kind of a weird feeling.”
