Student crowned Miss Albuquerque

lost, stolen bikes

By Daniel JohnsonStaff ReporterThe new bike reg-
istration program on campus is a free and easy process that could assist security in returning stolen or lost bikes, said Security Lieutenant Bernard Rogers.
Registering a bike will give security detailed information such as brand, model, color, wheel size, value, and type of bike which allows officers a better opportunity to search for and locate a missing bike, he said.
To register a bike, owners must complete a simple registration form, he said.
“We are happy and proud to register any student, faculty or staff member that has a bike because the main goal is to try and prevent bikes from being stolen at all,” said Rogers.
Once a registra-tion form is com-pleted, owners can bring the form and their school IDs to the Main campus security office for a registra-tion sticker that should be placed on the bike somewhere that is not easily seen by a poten-tial thief, he said.
The very adhesive stickers include the CNM Security phone

Miss Albuquerque 2013.Chavez won the
title on Feb. 9 after previously winning the titles of Miss Doña Ana County 2012 and
Miss Albuquerque 2012, she said.
“It feels great. It’s a little surreal, just get-ting used to the title, but I’m just staying
in school and keeping things as normal as possible,” she said.
Chavez’s goal as Miss Albuquerque is to focus on child lit-eracy because reading
was something she struggled with as a child, she said.
To help children who struggle with lit-eracy, Chavez visits A lbuquerque-a rea
schools and shares her story and how practicing gave her a love of reading.

L e t t e r To T h e E d i t o rIn response to Vol. 18, Iss. 20 ‘Empty Seats, honors society members fail to attend election’
EDITORIAL CARTOON BY SCOTT M. ROBERTS
As I read your article, “Empty Seats: Honors society members fail to attend elections,” February 5, 2013, about the lack of participation at the PTK elections, I was also concerned about the attendance issue. I joined Phi Theta Kappa last year and I have tried to participate as often as I can. The problem isn’t with attendees not caring or wanting to participate, as President Levi Turner would have you believe. The problem is extremely poor communications from Alpha Upsilon Chi chapter. I addressed these concerns via Facebook and email, but only was given excuses as to why nothing was happening.
In the past year, PTK-AYX has called few meet-ings to be held at the SRC. Upon arriving to these meetings, there would be a note saying the meeting was canceled. We may receive an email fifteen minutes beforehand if we were lucky. Eventually, PTK-AYX was able to obtain a portable building to hold these meetings in. I know for myself that my time is limited and to have a few meetings can-celed at the last minute is not only disrespect-ful of our precious time, but very unprofessional. It is difficult to keep members participating for any group when the leadership fails to follow through on their commit-ments. The same holds
true for the elections.On Jan. 28, President
Levi Turner sent an email about a very impor-tant meeting that Friday in SB 100. The email didn’t specify a time so on Jan. 31 I replied back and asked what time the meeting was scheduled for. I didn’t hear anything back from Mr. Turner and Mr. Arfai wrote back saying he couldn’t do 1 to 3. This explains the atten-dance issue for elections. On Feb. 2, Mr. Turner sent another email stat-ing that we had another meeting that included the elections on the agenda and a contradicting Word document attachment. At this point I am confused as to what to expect and what is going on. On Feb. 4, I sent an email explain-ing my confusion and that I didn’t think these elec-tions were being done according to PTK guide-lines. I even referenced and quoted the proce-dures for him to review. On Feb. 7, Mr. Turner wrote back stating he understood my confusion but also said, “Really, the best way to reap rewards from our program is to first ask yourself, what do you want to gain from ptk. Then make it happen.” It is hard for anyone within PTK-AYX to even know the rewards when we don›t schedule meetings properly nor have clear agendas. As far as making things happen, that is why I wrote my emails,
copied everyone that I think should know and now I write the CNM Chronicle.
I believe that PTK-AYX’s communica-tions problems could be avoided if the leadership used all the resources available to them, such as phone calls, emails, Facebook and The CNM Chronicle. Additionally, members should be given more than a few days notice/reminder of the events so they can plan their work and/or school schedules. Candidate recruitment is key to any organization. We should be given a copy of any organizational rules and descriptions and duties of each position. We should also send an email out about the candidates and ways for us to contact them. As I mentioned to Mr. Turner, not per-forming these actions undervalues PTK and its purpose. I disagree with Mr. Turner and think that if things don’t change that this chapter may become inactive.

Featuring the article about the dis-turbance in the SRC as the lead for the Chronicle with the photograph of person who caused the chaos on the front page of the Chronicle was disturbing to us. Is it the Chronicle’s intent to publish pictures of students that act out at CNM? There is no question that this individual’s actions were potentially very harmful and certainly alarming given the fact that across the country students have been shot and killed.
How we respond to these circum-stances is central to our humanity. What we found compelling about your article was the description of the woman’s actions who confronted this student- her actions are a good example for us – we found her actions heroic as well!
It seems to us that in these times the manner in which we respond to violent behavior can move us toward resolution of violence or into fear. Publishing the offend-ing student’s picture on the front page of the Chronicle put the focus on the violent behavior rather than CNM’s response.
WE don’t know why this student behaved in the manner in which he did – and his removal from campus is essential at this time. However, it’s our hope that our response to violence will focus on how we handle that violence – not so much on the events of violence.
We would have preferred that this stu-dent’s picture was not featured on the front page – and we’d have preferred it not be published at all. If it is the Chronicle’s policy to publish pictures of campus offenders, then we would like to engage in a discus-sion about that policy.
Sally MooreTerry DominguezChioma Heim
The CNM Chronicle Publication Board would like to extend its con-gratulations to CNM, and specifi-cally to CNM Connect, for a job well done in becoming a finalist for an AACC award, as mentioned in “CNM finalist in excellence award for stu-dent success” in this week’s edition.
Being one of five finalists in an award for student success is a great honor, and we are proud that CNM has gone to such great lengths in cre-ating the CNM Connect program.
The employees of Connect work hard to help students both academi-cally and in their personal lives.
The staff in the Connect offices often has heavily booked schedules, yet always seems to make time for any student who needs assistance.
This program has helped many students find homes, get scholarships and much more, and the Editorial Board is very happy to see CNM and the program recognized for its work.
Congratulations to CNM

A d v e r t i s e m e n t
By Shaya Rogersfeatures reporterFormer CNM instruc-
tor and current Disability Resource Center note taker Chuck Hosking is celebrating 30 years of peaceful protest outside of Sandia Weapons Lab.
He has held more than 16,000 protests just out-side the entrances to the weapons lab and hopes that his peace vigil will inspire the Sandia employ-ees to consider what effect their career has on others, he said.
“Basically, what I’d like to do is to get these employees to think about something other than weapons of mass destruc-tion; to think about the ethical implications of their work,” he said.
Hosking holds ban-ners outside of the gates of the Sandia Weapons Lab which pose questions that require thought and cannot be answered easily, he said.
“One of the things that’s important to me about the banners is that they all be questions; a question drives people crazy because you have to think about it,” he said.
The banners pro-mote the practice of peace and understand-ing over violence and aggression, he said.
“That’s basically the message of all the differ-ent banners, to try to pro-mote peace through global sharing and not through nuclear weapons,” he said.
Hosking said he believes that the only way to achieve peace is through peaceful action.
“I consider design-ing weapons of mass destruction to be a
crime against human-ity,” he said.
It is important for citi-zens to identify ways to better attain peace on a global level, he said.
“What does it mean to love your enemies? I know that when other countries build bombs and point them at me, I don’t feel very loved by them,” he said.
Many people in the United States have a self-centered world view, he said.h American cul-ture is full of an arro-gance of exceptional-ism, which perpetuates the idea that America is better than every other country, he said.
“We just need to acknowledge that other people feel as good about their country as we do about ours,” he said.
Hosking is a tradi-tional Quaker who values the simplicity of life and the sharing of wealth and resources, he said.
“Rather than take all of my income and use it on myself, for the last five years, I’ve basically averaged living on 7 per-cent of my income and giving away the other 93 percent” he said.
When he started the peace vigils 30 years ago, Hosking did car counts at
the gates to find out which of the areas had the most traffic and would benefit most from his vigil, he said. He found that the gate that exits onto Wyoming Boulevard often had the highest traffic, he said.
“This gate has roughly five thousand people coming out in that hour and a half and five hun-dred coming in,” he said.
He has been the only person in constant atten-dance at the vigil the last 30 years, but has had many people from different walks of life put in their time and energy, he said.
“There’s probably been a hundred different people who have been involved over the years,” he said.
His wife started the tradition with him 30 years ago, but died five and a half years ago and Hosking said this is a way for him to live for them both and to continue on the values they once held in their home.
“I’ve been basically trying to live my life in such a way that it is a trib-ute to her,” he said.
Hosking holds peace vigils every Friday at 3:30 p.m. at Kirkland Air Force Base gate that exits on Wyoming Boulevard, he said.

Business Administration major Greg Mascarena and former Health Information Technology major Daisy Mascarena invented a hands-free smartphone accessory which they hope will prevent texting and driving accidents.
The product is a wrist strap that attaches to a smartphone so that wearers can talk on speakerphone while doing other things, said Greg Mascarena.
“This is an age where people are driving and texting while holding their smartphone and what we’re hoping is to prevent this with the iStrap where you can wear it on your wrist and talk on your speaker phone or use voice to text on your speaker phone and have your hands free to drive,” said Greg Mascarena.
The idea and the preparation for his prod-uct came to him from CNM and he believes it has been a worthwhile experience, he said.
“It happened in school, when I saw the phone and I do believe going to CNM has helped improve my skills to be a better person and be more creative and more inno-vative,” he said.
Greg Mascarena earned a Business Certificate and will receive his associ-ate degree during the spring graduation cer-emony, he said.
“I feel good about going to CNM. My experience at CNM has been great,” he said.
Daisy Mascarena had taken the spring semester off to take care of their two daugh-ters, he said.
The iStrap is being sold in the Cottonwood Mall at the “Phones
Gone Wild” kiosks, as well as on Amazon, eBay and the couple’s website, SmartphoneStraps.com.
With the recent acknowledgement by the State Governor’s office and the sup-port of the community, Smartphone Straps, LLC’s future is looking bright, he said.
Mascarena said he will be receiving an acknowledgement letter from the gov-ernor recognizing his new business, the cre-ation of jobs and its positive standing.

and Film class, PSY 2233, was developed to focus on the por-trayal of mental dis-orders in film and discuss whether those portrayals are accurate or inaccurate regard-ing the disorders refer-enced, said Full-time Psychology instructor Jane Bardal.
Mental illness is normally associated with violence in media and film and even though some tragic incidents occur, not all mentally ill individuals are violent, she said.
“The inaccuracies of mental disorders in film have a major impact on mentally ill people in a negative way, so we look at what is portrayed accurately, but more importantly, what is inaccurately portrayed in films like
“A Beautiful Mind” and “Psycho”,” she said.
Looking at the symptoms, causes and treatments for major mental disorders is a big part of the core curriculum, she said.
Psychology major Jeanne Jacobs said being able to under-stand what the charac-ters are going through and how the treat-ments received work is
an interesting part of the class.
“It is really cool to watch the films and apply the informa-tion in psychological terms,” she said.
The class uses PowerPoint presenta-tions and lectures to explain a given disor-der to students before watching a film, she said.
Political Science major Rey Gutierrez said that even though the instructor lectures often, she emphasizes class discussion that helps to get other perspectives which often allows for a better understanding of the material.
“I like the class a lot and how we watch interesting films, it feels good to try and adjust media literacy which is a big problem in our society,” he said.
Seeing and discuss-ing the reality of psy-chological problems compared to their fictional depiction is useful and people should be more careful with how they inter-pret mental disorders in film since most of it is not accurate, he said.
“When we are given the opportunity to dis-cuss what is false or true, like we do in this class, it helps to enrich your perspective,” he said.
Bardal said discus-sion on the insanity
defense, competence, and how those are accurately or inac-curately portrayed in film and how they affect the perceptions of mentally ill individ-uals is also a core part of the class.
Students need to understand more about mental illness, so covering the differ-ent disorders and how they affect people in everyday life is impor-tant, she said.
Jacobs said she would recommend this class to other students because everyone needs to learn how to respond in a positive way to individuals who have mental disorders.
Students interested in taking the class should know that it is not an easy A course, she said.
“The class does still take tests and do homework assign-ments because it is a college level Psychology course and not a film study class. We just use the films as an educational tool,” she said.

number, so if some-one finds a stolen or lost bike security can be contacted quickly, said Rogers.
“With a registra-tion sticker, we can easily identify who a bike belongs to and access their contact information which simplifies the return process,” said Rogers.
In the past, secu-rity had no way of
verifying if a found bike belonged to a student, staff or fac-ulty member and returning the bike to someone trying to claim it was a difficult process, he said.
The registration form also requests information on what type of lock an indi-vidual is using for the bike, he said.
“We will be using the lock information to give people advice on the locks they are using
and let them know if they should invest in a better one because some just don’t work and some thieves just stay away from alto-gether,” said Rogers.
The program is a tool that can be used to locate a stolen bike, but by no means is it a guarantee that a bike will never be stolen, he said.
“Security wants to be more proactive then reactive because there is no way we can
be everywhere at once, but we do want to get the bikes back to the people that spent their hard earned money on them because that could be their only means of transporta-tion,” said Rogers.
Bicycle registration forms are located at cnm.edu/depts/security.
and workshops and off-campus assistance for food stamps, legal ser-vices, housing and even child care placement, has been emulated by more than 20 other colleges since it was created in 2011, and is credited with higher student retention.
The creative approach of CNM Connect has led to an increase in student retention, said Moore. About 80 percent of first-time students who used the programs in fall 2011 returned the following term, whereas only 71 percent of new students who did not use the program returned, he said.
Similarly, 75 percent of non-first-time stu-dents who spoke to some-one at Connect returned, compared to only 67 percent of non-first-time students who did not speak with a Connect employee, he said.
Winograd said that this speaks well of the program’s success.
“The development of CNM Connect, which is a very innova-tive service with a fresh approach to serving stu-dents in a more holistic way, has led to great progress in how we support our students. There is great promise for this student-support model,” she said.
Connect was not the only factor in CNM’s
position as a finalist, said Moore.
Increases to gradu-ation, transfer and dual credit rates played a role as well, as have the 16 program-specific transfer agreements created between CNM and UNM, he said.
The winner of the Student Success award will be named on April 23, at the AACC annual con-vention in San Francisco, according to the organi-zations website.
Winograd, Vice President for Academic Affairs Sydney Gunthorpe and CNM Connect Executive Director Ann Lyn Hall will be in attendance to accept the award, should CNM win, said Moore.
Whether or not
CNM wins, Winograd said she is happy that the school has been recognized.
“There is so much terrific work that goes on at CNM every single day in the name of help-ing students succeed. I say very often that I think CNM is one of the best community col-leges in the country.
And I firmly believe that. We have so many devoted faculty and staff who care deeply about helping our stu-dents achieve their aca-demic and career goals, and they work very hard to make it happen. That commitment is very evi-dent in our increasing graduation numbers,” she said.
fun, it’s not just for school,” she said.
She has worked mostly with pre-school and elemen-tary school chil-dren because she understands the impact illiteracy can have on a stu-dent, she said.
Students who struggle with read-ing are often looked upon as bad students and do not always get the support they need, she said.
The next step in her pageant career is the Miss New Mexico competi-tion on June 23, she said.
If Chavez wins the title, she said she
will be taking her literacy project statewide so that
she can help as many children as possible.
Should Chavez win Miss New Mexico, she said she would have the opportunity to com-pete in the Miss America competition.
Unlike televi-sion shows like
“Toddlers and Tiaras” that give the impression that beauty pag-eants focus solely on physical appear-ance, Chavez said that the pageants emphasize service and intellect.
“Often on these televisions shows, we see parents pushing the chil-dren. It should be
the child’s choice. Pageants teach good lessons about win-ning and losing, but at the same time, these kids don’t want to compete and it’s the moth-ers or the families pushing them to do so,” said Chavez.
She said the pag-eants also helped her with public speaking and confidence, but that it was always her choice to enter the pageants.
The Miss America organiza-tion is the largest women’s scholar-ship provider in the nation, she said.
The winner of Miss New Mexico will receive a $10,000 scholar-ship and the winner
of Miss America is awarded a $50,000 scholarship.
“It is a huge help as a college stu-dent,” she said.
Chavez said that she realizes pag-eants are stereo-typed as being only about looks, but that it is a stereo-type she hopes to help break.
Chavez encour-ages any students that want to com-pete for a local title to do so by going to missnewmexico.org, she said.

‘Sketchy’By
Jamison Wagner
Staff ReporterThe Student Theatre
group has created a vari-ety of comedic sketches for two weekends, said production Director and full-time Theater instruc-tor Susan Erickson.
“Sketchy 2,” which will run on Feb. 21 to 23 and March 1 to3 in portable building ST-17B, will be an hour of comedic shorts written by and starring students, she said.
“Most of the pieces you will enjoy were created by CNM students. Ask writ-ing students to put famous people who live in differ-ent eras in a scene together, and you get Jimi Hendrix hanging out with Mother Teresa,” said Erickson.
Theater major Cheri Lynn Mascarenas said she started acting shortly after she completed a two-year tour of duty in the military.
“I had just gotten out of the Army when I started my first acting class and was very much in my shell still. I’d be quiet and just observe and my acting teacher was like, ‘Try this’ and I was like ‘No you need to tell me exactly what to do,’” said Mascarenas.
Her teacher insisted that she was a guide and it was up to her to create the role, said Mascarenas. She said she was later grateful for this as it helped her to grow as an actor as well as a person.
“You’ve got to make time in your life for what you’re passionate about,
otherwise you aren’t really living,” said Mascarenas.
The teachers involved in creating these skits said the production is exciting, despite some difficulties involved with getting 12 students with wildly vary-ing class and work sched-ules together to rehearse.
“Because CNM stu-dents have very busy and full lives, I have not been able to get all the students in the room together at the same time,” said Erickson.
Erickson is confident that the production would come together beautifully, regardless of the challenges faced in getting a complete rehearsal, she said.
P r o d u c t i o n Coordinator and part-time Theater instruc-tor Joe Damour said the play is worthwhile for the actors as well.
“We want to tell the world one way or another, ‘Here I am.’ You have someone come in who talks real quiet and they find they can express themselves through a role, and it’s like ‘hallelujah.’ Ours is to allow people the joy and maybe see the need for self-expression,” said Damour.
The production “Sketchy 2” will run from Feb. 21 through March 3 at ST-17B, south of the Student Resource Center on Main Campus, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 2:30 p.m. on Sundays and is free.
