Carmine Russo joined a bagpipe band after he learned that the band offers free lessons, he said. When he was told Mac-Tire of Skye offered free bagpipe and Scottish drum lessons, Russo was surprised, he said.

“I used to play clarinet and

nobody gives free lessons. You pay for lessons.” said Russo.

The free lessons are group lessons and casual, he said. The bands offer free lessons in hopes of recruit-ing people into the band. It takes three to seven years to become proficient in either instrument because it is challenging, he said.

Syllabus of the future

Students of the CNM Community,

I appreciate the Chronicle giving me the opportunity to call attention to a wonderful oppor-tunity for CNM students: the Executive Council of Students. ECOS is the leadership arm of your student government and is your voice to the administration here at CNM. ECOS members serve as participating members on major decision making teams at CNM and regularly meet with high level administrators.

Membership in ECOS is an excellent opportunity to exercise and improve leadership skills and teamwork abilities. Though there are officer positions as defined by the ECOS Constitution, every member has an equal voice in deci-sion making. ECOS members have participated in many leadership development opportunities such as conferences out of state and the excellent Civic Engagement Leadership Institute here at CNM.

Past events sponsored by ECOS include an annual Honors Banquet recognizing outstanding students, especially those that have been a part of a Recognized Student

Organization, and Spring Fling, an annual celebration of CNM students by CNM students. More recently the student leaders conducted a safety survey of Main campus and are compiling that data to present to CNM decision makers. Future events are limited only by the energy and focus of ECOS members.

ECOS currently has openings for motivated leaders who want to make a difference at CNM and grow as people and leaders. Applicants must be enrolled in at least three credit hours, submit at least one letter of recommendation from a faculty member who can address the applicant’s leadership skills or potential, and have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA. Email me as the ECOS adviser at [email protected] for an application or more information, or come see me in SSC 201 (Main campus).

I look forward to meeting you!

Kristofer E. Gaussoin,Director of Student Conduct

and Responsibilities Adviser, Executive Council of

The SCA Contemporary Art Gallery will include a student’s artwork in the June gallery exhibition “The Finite Passing of an Infinite Passion”, said part-time Art instructor and gallery Curator, Danielle Miller.

The art major, who wished to be known only as “Photosynthesist,” will have two pieces displayed because the works fit into the theme of religious beliefs in a wonderful and unusual way, said Miller.

“Normally we would not include artwork from someone who does not have a degree or who is still working through their educational process, but Photosynthesist’s artwork exemplified the theme in a way that it questions the beliefs of religions,” said Miller.

The artworks titled “Torah Warrior” and “Messiah from the Apocalypse” are intended to show peo-ple’s ability to stand on the foundations of the spiritual text and have them transform their beliefs into personal body armor, said Photosynthesist.

He was inspired by the way he felt the world not going his way nor going the way other people would like it. His sole comfort was real-izing that there would be someone who could come and make every-thing balanced at some point, said Photosynthesist.

“Through my religious beliefs, my artwork allows me to vent what-ever I am feeling into a permanent fixture,” he said.

He hopes his artwork inspires people to rethink their religious bents and give them another per-spective of the Judeo-Christian

concepts with other emphasis on Old Testament texts, he said.

Four art pieces were sub-mitted overall and the other two works were considered too con-troversial for a religious themed gallery, he said.

“I drew a picture of a papal figure transformed into a croco-dile piercing the feet of Christ. It had three wolves on leashes tearing people apart,” said Photosynthesist.

He said his beliefs portrayed through his artwork are sometimes used decoratively and other times drawn in a straightforward manner. The artworks will go from a repre-sentation to an actual tangible belief.

“The artwork that got into the gallery was actually started two years ago, and took about a month for the gallery showcase to finalize,” he said.

Miller and full-time Art instruc-tor Lynn Johnson, whose artwork is also displayed in the exhibit, got him an invite, he said. Since Miller was curating, her theme of religion corre-sponded with his original style.

Miller said this is the first show she has curated in 10 years, and with the help of the gallery owner and her co-curator Laura Ratcliffe, chose artworks they felt expressed a form of spiritual longing that works within some stan-dard of traditional religious iconogra-phies and art historical references.

The SCA gallery’s “The Finite Passing of an Infinite Passion” showcase will be displayed throughout the month of June and artwork will be available for viewing Thursdays and Fridays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

“Snow White and the Huntsman” is a clever twist on a classic fai-

rytale, but first-time director Rupert Sanders failed to realize the potential of his star-studded cast.

The movie is packed with adven-tures through mysterious lands that are enhanced by the stunning cinematogra-phy which enriches the imagery of fai-rytale creatures and the land in which they dwell.

The movie begins by telling the traditional story of how Snow White, played by Kristen Stewart (“The Twilight Saga”, “The Runaways”), came to be the kingdom’s only hope for sal-vation from the ghastly reign of her stepmother, the Evil Queen Ravenna, played by Charlize Theron (“Aeon Flux”,

“Young Adult”). Theron and Stewart deliver good performances overall, but lack sincerity in some crucial plot and character development. Though the actors do what they can with their roles, the script leaves much to be desired.

When Snow White’s mother dies, King Magnus, Noah Huntley (“28 Days Later”), falls into a deep depression. It is not until he meets Ravenna that he finally forgets the sorrow of losing his late wife.

Screenplay writers John Lee Hancock, Hossein Amini and Evan Daugherty include classic plot points in Ravenna’s character not only as the evil stepmother, but as a witch with great power who will stop at nothing to attain immortality.

Theron is over the top but convinc-ing as the Evil Queen and does her best to work with the under-developed script. This appears to restrict her abilities at times.

The night of the wedding, Ravenna murders the King and imprisons Snow White in a tower for what appears to be almost a decade.

As in the classic fairytale, once Snow White comes of age, she becomes a threat to the Queen. She is the only person who can take away the Queen’s powers, avenge The King’s death and restore order to the kingdom. Shortly after the Evil Queen discovers she must eat Snow White’s beating heart to attain eternal youth, Snow White escapes and flees the palace, only to end up in the Dark Forest.

The Queen then hires the hunky and emotionally damaged Huntsman, played by Chris Hemsworth (“Avengers”, “Red Dawn”), to navi-gate the treacherous forest to find and capture Snow White. The Huntsman spares Snow White not because he falls in love with her, as in traditional sto-ries, but because of the Queen’s broken promise to raise his wife from the dead.

Stewart and Hemsworth have decent onscreen chemistry and the dwarves, who are introduced about an hour into the film, add humor and novelty to the reinvented story. Stewart flawlessly depicts an innocent and pure Snow White, but once she is expected to lead an army into battle, fails to be the fearless heroine audiences envision her to be.

The film holds true to much of the traditional fairytale which makes the movie predictable but many original twists add exciting points which create suspense and anticipation.

The CNM Chronicle gives “Snow White and the Huntsman” three out of five poison apples.

Chronicle has gone hi- tech

By Joel Gilleland

Staff Reporter

C N M employees as well as librar-ians from all over the region said goodbye to a cher-ished staff member, the Administrative Director of Libraries and Educational Resources, Ben Wakashige, said Poppy Johnson-Renvall, associate director of libraries.

Wakashige has only worked at CNM for two years, but has been a librar-ian for 40 years. During his time in New Mexico he made a big impact on the school and the state, said Johnson-Renvall.

“He really made this place bloom and grow like we

knew it should, and could,” said Johnson-Renvall.

Wakashige had an instrumental part in bring-ing in the Discovery System to CNM libraries. Discovery System is a tool that allows students to easily search for all kinds of library materi-als. Before this system was developed, finding books, articles and prints was a bit of a hassle because students had to search for them all individually. The Discovery System allows students to search for them all at once, said Johnson-Renvall. She also said that CNM was the first school in New Mexico to have a tool like the Discovery System.

“He was recruited, his reputation precedes him. He came in and he saw the types

of needs of the student body here. He developed the idea, he found the funding, he gath-ered support, he was key in implementation and market-ing,” said Johnson-Renvall.

Wakashige said that in his time at CNM, his co-workers and he were able to expand CNM libraries to all six cam-puses including the Advanced Technology Center.

He said that without his staff, none of these accomplish-ments would have been possible.

“I’ll share this with you because I feel very strongly about it. CNM is very fortu-nate to have the leadership of Kathie Winograd as president and her staff. They really, I believe, have the students at heart,” said Wakashige.

Johnson-Renvall said Wakashige has been an

advocate for bringing library programs to Native American reservations all over New Mexico since the 1970s. He has been heavily involved in the Native American Libraries Special Interest Group for decades. Much of his pro-fessional research interests and professional commit-tee interests revolve around minorities in libraries, said Johnson-Renvall.

The NALSIG started as a round table, but because of Wakashige’s work in training library aides and recommen-dations, the organization was put under the New Mexico Library Association. To this day the association is still very active, and it is all because of Wakashige, said Mary Allice Tsoiu, UNM librarian and former NMLA president.

“He is irreplaceable. Since the beginning when he first started he has done so much for so many libraries,” said Tsoiu.

Wakashige had a clear passion for libraries, stu-dents and for learning in gen-eral, said Johnson-Renvall.

“I feel passionate about all libraries because they rep-resent the public. You don’t need to go to a university to be educated; you can do it at the library,” said Wakashige.

His passion has been appre-ciated by the people whose lives he has touched. A group of local Native Americans heard Wakashige was retiring and contacted Johnson-Renvall to do something in honor of Wakashige’s accomplishments.

At Wakashige’s retirement reception they gathered in a circle, sang Native American

songs and beat on their tribal drums to send him off on a good note.

Wakashige was clearly liked by his staff and he will be missed, but they were glad to see him reach retirement and were hopeful that he can do a little relaxing now, said Reference Librarian, Olivia Baca.

“He’s an amazing boss. He supports his staff for professional develop-ment and he’s an incredible model of someone who uses leadership in the best pos-sible way. He makes wise decisions and supports staff when they desire to be cre-ative and innovative. It’s never about ego for him, it’s about results. It’s sad to see him retire but everyone needs their well-deserved breaks,” said Baca.

The difference between wisdom and knowledge

B-vitamins are practically use-less and the drink will cause a rise in blood pressure, said Brittenham.

“They help you obtain energy from nutrients that actually do provide energy, but B-vitamins don’t provide any energy. You can take as many as you want, but if you don’t eat anything you aren’t going to get any energy because you aren’t consuming any energy,” said Tierny.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not reg-ulate herbal supplements so it is very difficult to know exactly what and how much of something these products contain, said Tierny.

“Because a lot of energy drinks are sold as ‘dietary sup-plements’ you don’t necessar-ily know what’s in them. Just because it’s on the label, that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what is in it,” Tierny said.

Tierny said many energy drink companies claim that the product has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, which may or may not be true, but fail to mention other stimulants in the prod-uct. Other stimulants such as; sugar, guarana, ginseng, taurine and ginkgo can make the drink equivalent to drinking as much as 10 cups of coffee, said Tierny.

Since these products are not regulated, the companies are not required to put the amounts

of these stimulants in each drink. There is also no way to deter-mine if the consumer is getting the pure extract or something completely different, said Tierny.

The additives in energy drinks can cause low blood sugar, caffeine withdrawal and the carbohydrates can also cause the body to crash, said Tierny.

“Those drinks are loaded with carbohydrates and users have a kind of ‘carb crash’ at some point. You just have to, it’s the way your metabolism works,” said Patti Hoaland, the registered nurse for the Student Health Center.

Tierny said she suggests that students try to get six to eight hours of sleep a night. She said that no product can make up for loss of sleep. Getting the proper amount will keep people healthy and energized. She also said she recommends that people take short naps or “power naps” when they feel tired and are able to do so. Exercising reg-ularly can also help give the body energy and release endorphins.

She also suggested prepar-ing for the day by packing some healthy snacks that are high in carbohydrates with added protein and fiber. Apples and peanut butter, crackers and cheese or yogurt with some trail mix can help to regulate blood sugar and keep a person feeling good, she said.

By Carrie RatkevichStaff Reporter

The Executive Council of Students has put together a team for the 18th Annual Aaron’s Mudd Volleyball Tournament this year, said Treasurer Daniel Meza.

The tournament to benefit the Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation will be held Saturday, June 9, said Meza. Teams will face off in a round-robin tournament of mud volleyball, he said.

“It’s more about having fun and helping raise money for Carrie Tingley Foundation, than winning; however, we’re going to give it our best,” said Meza.

The team consists of Stephen Martos, Cesar Silva, Emily Sarvis, Lisa Rivera, Melissa Martinez, Esperanza Leyva, Leona Adams, Grace Rose, Daniel Meza and Terence Wesslith, he said.

“Executive Council of Students is participating in mud volleyball as a team-building exercise. We have also

reached out to other chartered student organizations for their participation,” said Meza.

The team held a practice and barbecue on June 1 to prepare for the tournament at Burton Park, said Vice President Stephen Martos.

“The practice was really encourag-ing because it illustrated why we are doing this,” said Martos.

The council decided to organize a team to bring students together as a community, said Martos. The tour-nament might also help make the Executive Council of Students more visible to the students, he said.

“We got to meet new people and had fun doing it,” said Martos.

Participating in the tournament is also a good way to set an example to the student community about volun-teerism and charity, said Meza.

“We would like to support as many charitable fundraisers as we can during the school year,” said Meza. “We would like to make this an annual event; the money raised benefits an outstanding organization.”

The Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation helps special-needs chil-dren and their families with their day-to-day needs and the challenges they face, he said. The foundation offers wheelchair camps and scholarships for therapeutic horseback riding and dance lessons to help enhance the lives of these children, he said. All the money raised by the tournament goes to the foundation, said Meza.

The tournament begins at 9 a.m. on June 9 at Rio Bravo and Second Street, said Meza. Parking is free but limited, so students should carpool to see the action, he said. Coolers will be allowed but outside alcohol is not, said Meza. For more informa-tion on the 18th Annual Aaron’s Mudd Volleyball Tournament or to volunteer, visit abqmuddvolleyball.org. For more information on the Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation, visit carrieting-leyhospitalfoundation.org.

“It’s a great way to have fun and give back to the community; there is no down side,” said Martos.
