Rainbow Warriors hand Lobos Homecoming loss By Angelina Pompeo @PompeoAngelina The University of New Mexico football team fell to the University of Hawaii over the weekend, going on a five-game losing streak for the season. Hawaii closed out the Lobos 45-31 by the final whistle. The game kicked off with the Lobos receiving the ball. Their possession lasted only a few minutes before Hawaii received a turnover punt. On their second play, Hawaii’s quarterback Cole McDonald rushed for a 76-yard touchdown that put the Rainbow Warriors on the board 7-0. In the Lobos’ next possession, they rushed down the field to give kicker Andrew Shelley a successful opportunity to put three points up on the board. This was followed shortly by a Hawaii interception and a second touchdown, widening Hawaii’s lead to 14-3. With two minutes left in the first quarter, Hawaii passed for a completed touchdown. The end score of the quarter was 21-3 with Hawaii leading the Lobos. In the second quarter, Hawaii managed two more touchdowns — both from one-yard rushes. At halftime the score was 35-3 in favor of Hawaii. The Lobos came out in the

MFA students showcase artwork By Beatrice Nisoli @BeatriceNisoli The University of New Mexico’s Master of Fine Arts students opened up their studios to the public to discuss craft and the origins of inspiration last Thursday, Oct. 24. Each studio incorporated immersive lighting and sound techniques to best accompany artwork ranging from photography, needlework, sketches and poetry. The artists’ work explored developing themes unique to the students’ backgrounds and identities. The Daily Lobo had the opportunity to speak to four MFA students about their art pieces, as well as their artistic journeys. The event took place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Art Annex and Mattox Sculpture Center. Light snacks and music were provided. Daniel Hojnacki “Despite having been a photography major at Columbia College, I find that I only bring elements of my Chicago background in the way that I use material. Other than that, I’m on a fresh slate being here in New Mexico, which has been an interesting challenge. A lot of
my work deals with the failures of photography, such as shadows and time and how things change and how photography is not such a permanent medium. Sometimes there’s latency and disappearance that can happen through the techniques that I choose to use. This theme has been gradually developing for years now. It started with me thinking about memory and my own family, and it now has become more abstract.” Tommy Bruce “I am a photographer and a performance artist — that is, I make work about being a part of the furry community. I’m working with a subcultural identity that’s about people who make up an animal avatar character that they interact with online or in real life through costumes. My work examines why this culture is happening right now and thinking about its relationship to ecology and alienation from the world, as well as escapism in relation to social and political emergency. I enjoy making work here at UNM and (being) able to place artwork here in a broader academic context.” Robbin Bates “My artistic journey began in childhood. I have always done

something crafty and artistic, whether it be drawing or other methods. My area of expertise is usually painting, but right now I am working on a fabric piece. I am trying to mix the two mediums, so the fabric piece I’m working on will be the back piece of my existing art.” Rosalba Breazeale “I am adopted from Peru and was raised in very homogenous areas of the United States, primarily Tennessee and Maine. I feel very connected to the earth, but I am also aware of over-romanticized landscape images. I’m playing with the idea of how the viewer gets to look at my home and the place I feel connected to. I am also very interested in the history of photography which has primarily been championed by white men, especially when looking at the indegenous body. So, my work also responds to stereotypes. I am looking to re-represent myself as an indigeneous, Peruvian woman and also critique how the viewer is looking at my body by having to look at themselves first.” Beatrice Nisoli is a beat reporter at the Daily Lobo.

ABQ crime rate affects Central businesses By Ellie Aikman
@eaikman1230 The University of New Mexico’s main campus, located directly north of Central Avenue, experiences an extremely high crime rate – more than four times the national average, according to a 2018 crime index. This high level of crime impacts the community around Central Avenue and the University, including businesses along Central. Local business owner Gina Yates Frock Star Vintage said businesses on Central have a designated phone number to call in case there is a security emergency. Yates said she mostly deals with petty theft, with the majority of stolen items coming from the racks that she has outside of her shop. “The racks outside really help to bring people in. I notice on days when I can’t put them out for a weather reason, I get less people coming in because it’s more
inviting when (the rack is) out there,” Yates told the Daily Lobo. “When you have a business, you take that risk. I never put anything out there that’s super valuable; I put things out that are clearance items outside.” Yates also has a security camera outside of her building to catch theft on video. She was unable to provide the Daily Lobo a hard copy of the footage or other data showing the theft took place. The New Mexico Community Data Collaborative (NMCDC) crime index reveals that crime in the area of Frock Star Vintage is 5.3% higher than the national average. Off Broadway Vintage Clothing and Costumes spoke on the matter in an interview with the Daily Lobo and said they have a lot of homeless people coming in and attempting to stay at the store for long periods of time. “The holidays are coming up, which means businesses are seeing a lot more
