I’m sure there are several women who feel as though they are not taken seriously. Why is this so? Well, there is this ideal that has continued to hover over women for years and years called “patriarchy.” This practice is one that affects women globally.

As the United States has been engaged in “war” with the Middle East, several stories have come out in which several male voices speak up on the different issues that happen, but the women who are involved go on silently.

Something’s missing

In one world news story, “Iran arrests Sunni rebel accused of links with the West,” by Parisa Hafezi and Hossein Jaseb, subjects of the al Qaeda and bombings were all about men.

It seems like any mention of women in the Middle East only happens when death counts are given, such as in, “Shiite family of 8 killed in Iraq, some beheaded,” by Rebecca Santana.

The women who do not speak up, such as those who perform poetry, fall between cracks to the nation’s news−watching eye. Should we really have to search and search the Internet before we can find one little clip or one story including a woman’s view and opinion? Must we rely on the words of men we do not know to give us information on the rest of the world? Let society hear from the mothers, the sisters and the wives. Let them tell their stories. These are the voices that matter and should be taken seriously.

The Guerrilla Girls will perform – and question equality in art – Thursday.

Fewer than 3 percent of the artists in the Metropolitan Museum of Art are women, but 83 percent of the nudes are female.

 With this tagline, the Guerilla Girls, an internationally known group of anonymous avengers, pose the question: “Do women have to be naked to get into United States art museums?” Gender equity in the arts will be the message delivered to a Las Cruces audience this week.

The Guerrilla Girls are a group of feminists and artists who use the names of deceased female artists as pseudonyms and appear in public wearing gorilla masks to conceal their identities. This removes the focus from the performers and aims it at the issue.

 According to the group’s Web site, the historical activist group started in 1985 in response to The Museum of Modern Art in New York’s exhibition, “An International Survey of Painting and Sculpture,” in which only 13 of 169 artists were women, and all 169 artists were white.

Not a narrow focus

Though the group originally started as the “conscience of the art world,” it has also brought attention to important issues such as inequality in the world of politics and in Hollywood and the film industry.

 The NMSU Department of Women’s Studies reports that the Guerrilla Girls Las Cruces debut performance will take place Thursday, March 11 at 7 p.m. at the Court Youth Center. The performance will commemorate the 20^th anniversary of the Women’s Studies Program at New Mexico State University, as well as help celebrate Waded Cruzado Gender Justice Week. 

 “Dr. Cruzado believed in women’s studies and its significance at the university. She understood the potential of women’s studies at NMSU and invested resources where little had been invested before,” said Lisa Bond-Maupin, director of the women’s studies program and sociology department head, said in a press release.

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster or at the Pan American Center. Students can purchase tickets for $5 and members of the general public can purchase tickets for $12.

The event is sponsored by NMSU Women’s Studies Program, NMSU Department of Sociology, NMSU Office of the Provost, and Women’s Studies/Journalism “Women and PR Group.”

“Little Moments, Big Magic” is exactly what the Big Brother Big Sisters program is all about.  Stacie Christiano, chief executive officer of the Southwestern New Mexico branch, knows all too well how accurate the slogan can be.

“We’re in the business of providing one-on-one mentoring for any child who wants a positive impact in their life,” Christiano said. “We live for the magical moment when the matched little brother or sister is introduced to their mentor. The look on their faces makes the whole experience worthwhile.”

BBBS, as a nationwide program, encourages youth mentoring and attempts to create influential bonds between adults and children. 

Christiano said she believes that of the potential volunteers in Dona Ana County, New Mexico State University students could especially benefit from joining the mentoring service.

“University students are some of our most successful matches because of the smaller age gap between Bigs and Littles,” Christiano said.

“The little brother or sister develops a deep connection with the student, increasing their academic goals at an early age,” she said. “They essentially want to follow in their Big’s footsteps, to shadow their lifestyle.”

How do students get involved?

A rather extensive application and background check is required of all potential big brothers or sisters. After filing an application, an in-depth personality/activity match and personal interview complete the process. Christiano stresses that becoming a Big is very easy and entails only three basic criteria.

“We only require that you give us time, talent, and treasure,” she pointed out.

BBBS offers many different programs to fit any potential volunteer’s schedule, the director said.  There are two different forms of matches:

• A school-based match requires only one hour per week of one-on-one time at the child’s school.

• The community-based match requires four to six hours a month and is virtually limitless as far as activities are concerned. 

Matches are encouraged to experience fun, interesting and new things for both members. Activities can range from coloring and fishing to sports and movies. The most important aspect is to bond and spend quality time with one another.

More than just fun and games

The program is not solely for fun and games, however; a significant part of the match must be designated to schoolwork or educational improvement.

“We work really hard to create an academic feel for our kids. We try to promote reading and writing as well as verbal and social skills. The Big becomes an all-in-one: friend, counselor, and teacher,” explained Christiano.

Of all the volunteers at BBBS of Southwestern New Mexico, around 30 percent are NMSU students. The program has proven that by pairing a child with someone experiencing higher education or promoting academic success, the more likely the child is to graduate high school or college.

Whether a school-based match or community-based match, both the Big and Little benefit from the experience. “The majority of the benefit falls on the Little, but success is a two-way street. If the match is successful, then the Big also learns and grows,” said Christiano.

Opportunities to help

If NMSU students are not able to volunteer as a big brother or sister, then there are other opportunities to help. BBBS holds several fundraising events throughout the year and is always looking for people willing to help. Bowl for Kids Sake, held on April 11 of this year, is one of the most profitable events for the program.

 “Any spare time that can be given is for a great cause. We want NMSU and the community to help ensure a brighter future for the youth of Dona Ana County,” Christiano said.

The recent “scandal” with Tiger Woods has proven once again that people would much rather concern themselves with the private affairs of a celebrity than any of the numerous more pressing issues that affect their lives.

Watching the news, one can easily tell that health care and the war in the Middle East are among the most pressing issues the government is dealing with, and the result of the decisions made on these issues will affect the entire country. Despite this, the news story that gets harped on the most is on the love life of a pro-golfer.                                                                                                Overexposed

How does Tiger Woods’s sex life affect the lives of anyone who is not intimately associated with him? Mentioning it once is expected, since he is a celebrity, even if it is for golf. However, there is no reason to give the public the blow-by-blow and further invade this man’s privacy just to get a story in the news.

The only people who are hurt from his actions, other than his wife and family, are those who invested in his image. To try and milk the situation for profit is the most pathetic excuse for privacy violation I can think of. Only the announcement of the deed and his apology are newsworthy. There are more important stories that should be focused on.

Let the tabloids handle the deplorable business of privacy invasion for profit, and let everyone else in the business get back to respectable reporting and important news stories.

As the New Mexico State University Polo Club gears up for its regional tournament in mid-March, the focus is fixed on continuing to be a competitive force, with hopes of earning a spot in the National Intercollegiate Polo Tournament.

A self-sustained, self-coached team since starting at NMSU in 1997, the Polo Club competes in the central region against the likes of Texas A&M University, University of Texas – Austin, Texas Tech, Colorado State, Oklahoma State University and other competitive, well-funded programs. As the most competitive region in the nation, the team that wins the central regional tournament will most likely go on to win nationals.

“I came to NMSU from Illinois in 2006 for a chance to compete on a team that had a great chance at winning nationals,” Jesse Weaver, a senior varsity polo player, said.

Battle for championship begins

Weaver, along with Logan Joseph, John Nance and Jared Sheldon, went on to place third that year after falling to Texas A&M by only four points. Four years later, Weaver and Joseph are eagerly trying to take a national championship away from Texas A&M, the only team in the region they have not beaten in their college career. Texas A&M won nationals in 2007 and 2008 and were runners-up in 2009.

The NMSU Polo Club is not only committed to winning tournaments and championships. Introducing and promoting the sport of polo to anyone interested in learning about the “Sport of Kings” is the club’s main mission.

“There’s a lot of horse lovers in the world,” Weaver said. “Our polo club is committed to bringing in people who love horses and want to be a part of something.”

Open to all levels of riders

The Polo Club relies on donations for their string of horses, so owning a horse is not required in order to get involved. Novice riders to the most experienced polo players are encouraged to take part in the sport and this team. There is a men’s varsity and junior varsity team and a women’s junior varsity team.

“Our fear is that not enough people will get involved with the team, and that it will fizzle out when Jesse and I are gone,” Joseph said. “We want to get more people involved. The more the merrier.”

College polo is played in a sand arena about the size of a football field. There are three players on a team and four periods, or chukkers, in a game. Six horses are needed, as the physical demands of the game require horses to be switched out.

The NMSU team practices at the Rancho Santa Maria Polo Club outside of El Paso, Texas. Their horses are boarded at La Georgina, a horse facility owned and operated by Jorge Bustamante and his son, also named Jorge, who is a NMSU varsity player.

If interested in getting involved with the NMSU Polo Club, contact Jesse Weaver at (309) 645-5663 or Logan Joseph at (541) 910-3719.

Of the approximate 340 division I men’s college basketball teams in the United States, only 65 make it to the NCAA Tournament each year. Out of those 65, 31 teams are given automatic bids by winning their respective conference or championship game and the rest are decided by the NCAA Selection Committee.

That leaves 282 teams that do not make it each year, which means the odds of making it to the tournament consecutive years highly unlikely unless, of course, you’re a major conference team. But the New Mexico State Aggies made the trip to the big dance not once, not twice, but three years in a row in 1990, 1991 and 1992 – and the third time would seem to be the charm.

As the 2009-2010 Aggies look for motivation upon entering this year’s Western Athletic Conference Tournament in March – and most likely needing to win the tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament – remembering that 1992 Aggies team that danced its way to the Sweet Sixteen might be a great place to start since the 1970 Aggies made an appearance in the Final Four under the legendary head coach, Lou Henson.

What’s the Difference?

So what is it that separates the Aggies then from the Aggies now? Former Aggie guard and one of two seniors on the 1992 team, William Benjamin, thinks that it has something to do with the way the game has evolved over the years.

“I think that teams are more offensive oriented today because there are better offensive players and defense just isn’t stressed as much” Benjamin said.

“Our main focus and top priority was defense. Our goal each game was to create 20 turnovers. We wanted to create our offense off of our defense. When the focus is defense that means everyone has to do their part defensively in order for the team to be successful which in turn makes it more team oriented,” he observed.

In the 1992 Big West conference championship game, the Aggies faced the No. 5 ranked team in the conference, Pacific, in what turned out to be a nail-biter of a game for both players, coaches and spectators alike. The Aggies put on a 15-2 surge at the beginning of the second half that ultimately won the game for the Aggies with a score of 74-73 and gave them their first Big West Championship and the motivation that they needed to face the 24^th ranked team in the nation, the DePaul Blue Demons.

“It felt great winning that game, and that’s how you want to go out,” Benjamin said. 

Having been to three, Benjamin was used to going to the tournament, but unlike the previous two years, he went in as a Big West champion, and there was another surprise at hand that not only Benjamin, but also the entire team, had yet to experience.

Third Time is the Charm

In 1990, the Aggies had returned to the NCAA tournament as a 6^th seed in the West Region after an 11-year absence, but were upset in the first round by 11^th seed team, Loyola Marymount by a score of 111-92. The Aggies returned the following year, again as the 6^th seed only to suffer another upset to the 11^th ranked Creighton Blue Jays, but 1992 would be a little different for the New Mexico State Aggies.

When the Aggies entered the 1992 tournament, they were put in the underdog position as they were placed as the 12^th seed in the West, while DePaul was the 5^th seed. The Aggies already had their backs against the wall. They needed someone to shine big for them in this match-up if they wanted to snap the two-game losing-streak that they were on in NCAA tournament play. That hero was the junior guard, Sam Crawford.

“Sam Crawford was an absolutely incredible ball player,” Benjamin said. “He was an amazing passer. The best passer I had ever seen.”

In the Aggies 81-73 first-round win over DePaul, Crawford scored a game high 21 points and got plenty of his teammates involved as he dished out 11 assists, but this game was a little personal for him. Crawford’s favorite college team while he was in high school was the Blue Demons of DePaul. He thought he would be going to play at DePaul after he graduated high school, but he did not qualify academically and attended Moorpark Junior College before he signed to New Mexico State for the 1991-1992 season. 

Sweet Sixteen

The win against DePaul was the first win in the tournament for the Aggies since 1970 when they advanced to the Final Four, and they were hoping history would repeat itself. With an 81-73 second-round win over the 13^th seed in the West Region Southwest Louisiana, the Aggies were on the right pace to repeat history. The win advanced them to the Sweet Sixteen round of the tournament where they would return to New Mexico and play the number 4^th ranked team in the nation, UCLA, at The Pit in Albuquerque. It seemed that the entire state was there to support them.

“The whole state was going nuts,” Benjamin said. “They actually had a billboard in Albuquerque that said ‘Go Aggies!’ you know? That is unheard of. It was absolutely nuts when we came back from Tempe.”

The Pit is, of course, is the home of the Aggies long-time bitter in-state rivals, the UNM Lobos, but for that one game in 1992, it would seem like home. When the Aggies entered the Pit that day during the first half of the Florida State versus Indiana Sweet Sixteen game, the whole arena erupted. 

In the game, the Aggies were down by 16 points at the end of the first half of play because of a crushing 24-6 run late in the half by the Bruins. Coming into the second half, the Aggies went on a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to only six points and fulfill their hopes of making it to the Elite Eight round and that much closer to the National Championship game.

But in the end, the powerhouse UCLA Bruins team was just too much for the underdog Aggies. They never got closer than six points and the Bruins went on to win the game with a score of 85-78. They then lost to Indiana in the Elite Eight round 106-79.

“That was a tough year for us because we had all new people,” Benjamin said. “I was the only returning starter on that team so we had four new guys and they were all former junior college players. We struggled throughout the whole year but just got it together and played together at the right time,” he explained.  ”During the Big West Tournament was when we got hot and went on to win three games there and two games in the NCAA tournament to play in the Sweet Sixteen.”

As the 2010 NCAA Tournament prepares to start up in mid-March, there are over 100 teams that have made it to the NCAA tournament at least once and have never won a single game since it was created in 1939. The Aggies all-time record in the tournament is 10-19.

Eighteen New Mexico State University students on the Merge staff scattered across the campus to find images that depict their university in February  2010.

Two people whose lives have been affected by the war in Uganda shared their testimony Thursday, Feb. 18, in Corbett’s Middle Ballroom after a documentary was shown of an orphan living in the midst of this war.

Norman Okot, 71, and Comfort Okello, 25, both of Uganda, traveled to Las Cruces for the Invisible Children Legacy Tour with a team of four volunteers for Invisible Children as advocates for their country. Invisible Children is a movement that seeks to help end the war in Africa and to provide healing for the victims through education, jobs and the rebuilding of schools.

“I have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS due to the effect of the war and I’m the voice of thousands of children whose lives are devastated by the war,” Okello said.

A similar plight

Okello lost her parents when she was 3 years old and said that the orphaned boy in the documentary, Emmy, represents her. Okot, the grandfather of Emmy, fled from the Lord’s Resistance Army  many times and saw how the effects of the war hurt his family.

For more than 20 years the rebel movement, Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), and the Government of Uganda have been at war. The leader of the LRA, Joseph Kony, has abducted children and brutally forced them to become his soldiers.

In 2003, three filmmakers from California traveled to Northern Uganda and witnessed the effects of the war. Filmmakers Laren Poole, Jason Russell and Bobby Bailey wanted others to know about the conflict, so they filmed what they had seen and made a documentary called “Invisible Children.”

After seven years of Invisible Children being involved in fighting for the peace of Northern Uganda, the rebels have left Uganda, but are still in the neighboring countries, according to Okot.

More work to do

“The war has left our country completely devastated,” Okot said. “We still need helping hands from everybody.”

Okot is a retired teacher who is still active in helping the people in Northern Uganda. Okello worked for six months as a volunteer with Invisible Children and now works as a program assistant in the Economic Development Initiative sector of Invisible Children.

“It was time for me, as Comfort, to leave a legacy for Northern Uganda,” Okello said.

Another advocate, Lillian Ajok, 21, of Uganda, shared her testimony at Calvary Baptist Church Sunday, Feb. 21.

“Three Americans came to Uganda; they were sent to see the injustice going on,” Ajok said. “Before, we were invisible, but now, as I am standing here, we are visible.”

Thousands of survivors, friends and family members gathered at Cohen Stadium earlier this month to participate in El Paso’s 18^th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in an effort to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer.

“It was mind-blowing to see that many people.  It shows that we really can get together and make a difference,” said Mary Elizabeth Bowyer, a freshman at NMSU who participated in the Race.

Thousands of participants registered for either a competitive or non-competitive 5k race, which kicked off at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.  Racers could register either as teams or individuals, both of which raised money for the cause.

Participants who have survived breast cancer sported a pink bib, while all other participants wore either a yellow or white bib.

“Seeing a literal sea of people marching for the cause was really amazing,” NMSU freshman Molly Murphy said.

Local participants raised over $3 million for this year’s Race.  Twenty-five percent of the money raised will go toward the Komen for the Cure Award and other research grant programs.  The remaining 75 percent of money raised will stay in the local area in order to fund breast health education, screening and treatment projects.

According to the Global Breast Cancer Movement, one million people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone.

“Being [at the race] to represent my cousin, even though she wasn’t there with us, was the best part about participating in the race for me personally,” NMSU junior Katie Castle said.  Castle’s cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2009.

The Race for the Cure in El Paso began 18 years ago with 400 participants.  This year, the number swelled to an overwhelming 16,000.

More information can be found at Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

If losing someone you unconditionally love to a heinous crime is unbearable, imagine watching a documentary showing a reenactment of the atrocity that changed your life 20 years later.

That’s what the victims and family members did on Tuesday, Feb. 9, during the premiere of “A Nightmare in Las Cruces.”

The documentary, which tells the story of the massacre that took place at what used to be called the Las Cruces Bowl on East Amador Avenue Feb. 10 of 1990, included commentary of the survivors and family members of the deceased victims.

Emotions surface

As the crowd of people waited in the Cineport 10 theater lobby, tears were already rolling down people’s faces. While the idea of having to relive a violent incident that one wishes to move on from seems daunting, the survivors evidently found importance in telling their story when they chose to be a part of the documentary.

Not too long after the bowling massacre, director Charlie Minn saw an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries,” which featured the story about the three survivors and four murdered Las Crucens who were all shot several times at a close distance.  The fact that the murderers were never apprehended disturbed Minn and eventually drove him to create a film that he hoped would encourage anyone who might know the killers to report them to the Las Cruces Police Department.

“The film is not really just about the massacre, but it’s also about heroism, courage, and healing,” Minn added.

The courageous act that Minn particularly pointed out was the one in which Melissia Repass, who was 12 years old at the time of the massacre, made a call to 911 and gave a clear description of what happened despite a gunshot to the head.

This four-minute 911 call was played at the beginning of the film, sending a chill up everyone’s spine.

The audience attending “A Nightmare in Las Cruces” earlier this month was made up of the contributors to the film, the bowling massacre survivors and the friends and family of survived and lost loved ones.

Before the movie was shown, Minn stood in front of the audience to explain his decision to make a film about a Las Cruces disaster although he is from New York, where very few people know of the massacre. The fact that a violent act took place in a small town like Las Cruces did not just shock the locals, but Minn as well.

“I made this movie to evoke emotions and encourage the person out there who knows who did this to report it…and I hope that those dirt bags get caught.”

An immediate applause from the audience followed.

Using interviews with family members and survivors, file footage from KRWG-TV, reenactments of what took place and the sounds of gunshots and a baby crying, the film had an even more powerful effect on the viewers.

Sniffs and sighs from the audience could be heard throughout the movie.

“I think it took a very courageous man with strength and compassion to put this movie together,” said Gloria Woods, whose daughter, Amy Houser, was shot and killed at age 13 during the massacre. “If this movie makes people talk and solves the crime, it’s definitely well worth it.”

The interviews with Gloria Woods in “A Nightmare in Las Cruces” were some of the most emotional clips in the film, along with the interviews with survivor Melissia Repass and Audrey Teran, who lost her husband and two daughters at the violent incident.

Local assistance

The film was shot in Las Cruces in Sept. of 2009 for about six days. Minn explained the process of making the movie at New Mexico State University in the Creative Media Institute’s directing class with Rod McCall. He contacted Larry and Russell Allen to ask if his film could be shown at their theaters, Cineport 10 on South Telshor Boulevard and Aviator 10 in Alamogordo, N.M.

“The first thing we did was call the PR of the Las Cruces Police Department because we were afraid of opening an old wound,” said Vice President of Operations Russell Allen at the opening of the movie. “The police department encouraged us to play it so that it could open up some eyes and help solve the case.”  Allen added that Minn’s passion for the massacre was evident, and he and his father Larry Allen were happy to oblige.

“I think that Feb. 10, the day of the massacre, should be a day to commemorate the victims,” said Minn to the directing class. “That’s why I chose to have it play on that day.”

“A Nightmare in Las Cruces” will also be playing at the Premiere Cinema 18 theater in El Paso, Texas starting Feb. 26.
