Editor,I wonder if you know what editorial re-

sponsibility is. I had the opportunity to read your article in the Roundup concerning the university’s gender neutral bathroom poli-cies and additions. It is not necessarily what you wrote that upsets me, although with further research it shows your fact check-ers need to be replaced (if you have them), but how you have presented the article to the student populous. You have chosen to print a cover page with a genetic male and female washing their hands next to each other within the same bathroom with ex-pressions of concern as though they lacked comfort with their mutual presence. Yet, within the Roundup, upon pages 8 and 9, there is quite an opposite feeling illustrated by the same two people on the cover: they show excitement as though a conversation were to begin. I wonder again, do you wish to solicit fear thence mating opportunity for the student populous whom you serve with your periodical? The subject at hand is the addition of these bathrooms and the progressive intelligence in tolerance NMSU offers its students not an expose of subtle awkwardness.

I am severely offended that, as a rem-edy for one of the problems transgender students face is being developed, you have subtly contributed to popular opinion that such a remedy will contribute to a major change in the way heterosexual people relieve themselves. Yes, freedom of press is a beautiful thing but so is the promotion of equality within a civilization. Above an editor, as an American within the privilege of our 1st amendment, the responsibility to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is above all the common element of American enterprise. If happiness is in equality and equality for the transgender community is the ability to relieve themselves in peace, a small but necessary duty for all humans including heterosexuals, then your responsi-bility is to aid them. How are you different now from the editors of the past who framed the same circumstance with blacks using white bathrooms?

New Mexico State University prepares for the Harlem Globetrotters to hit the courts at Pan American Center Feb. 4, 2014.

The famous Harlem Globetrotters are an American culture icon. They are a traveling expedition basketball team that combines athleticism, comedy and theatre.

The Harlem Globetrotters, originally from Chicago, originated in 1926 as the Savoy Big Five. Abe Saperstein took over coaching du-ties of his all-African American team when

only whites were allowed to play on a pro-fessional basketball team. Saperstein took this as an opportunity to name his team after Harlem, a famous African American city in New York. He then decided to make that the team’s hometown.

During the 1939 Globetrotter’s first na-tional championship appearance with the New York Renaissance, they began to dis-play antics like comedic skits and basketball tricks and became famous for them.

The Globetrotters started to tour and trav-el on their own, competing and performing in their own leagues with the Washington

Generals as their competitors. Today the Harlem Globetrotters have

played in “more than 115 countries and in front of 120 million fans. They have been the subject of two feature films and numer-ous television shows,” according the History channel.

“I saw them when I was younger and re-member it being funny,” said NMSU stu-dent, Ashley Ruiz. “I can’t wait to watch a combination of basketball and entertain-ment (again). I also want to compare the ex-perience from when I was younger.”

The Harlem Globetrotters performance

will begin at 7 p.m. at the Pan American Cen-ter on Feb. 4, 2014. Tickets are range from $20-$77. Check out our Facebook and Twit-ter to find out how to win tickets.

Police are currently investigating the re-mains of an unidentified individual who was found off of Trivis Street Jan. 27.

Andy Bowen, New Mexico State Univer-sity police department deputy chief, said the remains were found inside the culvert tunnel underneath Interstate 25. The NMSU Po-lice Department, New Mexico State Police, NMSU Fire Department and New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator are work-ing together to investigate the situation.

“We started investigating the scene at 9

a.m. this morning (Tuesday) when the car-bon monoxide levels were low enough to go in there,” Bowen said. “We’ll be taking pho-tos collecting evidence for two to three more hours.”

Currently the investigation involves the NMSUPD and the N.M. State Police It will be a few weeks before the police department will know the identity and cause of death, ac-cording to police.

Any information relevant to the situation can be reported to the NMSU Police De-partment at 575-646-3311

Soul Verse, a club dedicated to bringing arts to campus, will return this semester with an open mic night.

The group is an organization that brings student artists (photographers, rappers, poets and filmmakers) together to share the same passion. If the “artist” label doesn’t fit a new member, but they still enjoy surrounding themselves with anything artistic, they can still be part of the club.

“It is basically a group of people who really appreciate the arts,” said Shaless Robinson, a Soul Verse member since fall of 2013.

The club has been around since 2007 but became chartered in 2009.

The event will not only feature student per-formances but will also bring an opportunity for students to help local food bank Casa de Peregrinos and Voices Against Caner, which will have a table set up accepting donations that will go toward buying wigs for 30 cancer patients in Nepal.

Along with hip-hop, poetry and other acts, the open mic night will also feature a Middle Eastern dance act performed by the presi-dent of Voices Against Cancer.

“Support a couple of good causes and expect the unexpected,” said Chris Acosta, president of Soul Verse.

Acosta said Soul Verse usually hosts events during the year when space is available at Corbett Center, which usually attracts organi-zations to participate as well. This will be the second time Soul Verse teams up with Casa de Peregrinos.

In addition to organizations and student participation, Soul Verse also brought in in-dependent and national artists from around the world as well.

Five years ago during a spring concert Im-mortal Technique, a famous underground rapper from New York performed on stage. In 2011 Brazilian singer and songwriter Céu was part of open mic night.

In March, Soul Verse will host a spring concert called “the open stage” and if paper-work gets turned in on time they’ll be able to bring a big event featuring Lemon Anderson, a spoken word poet, Acosta said.

The event will take place from 7-9 p.m. Jan.31 at the Corbett Center Auditorium.

New Mexico State University will compete in the 14th annual RecycleMania. The pro-gram gives NMSU the opportunity to aid in waste reduction and establish a green cam-pus.

“RecycleMania is a competition among colleges, encouraging recycling and making everyone aware,” said joni newcomer (sic), manager of the office of sustainability.

NMSU students can participate by gather-ing recyclables from inside their dorms or homes, recycling them in bins and dumpsters around the main campus.

The main campus competition begins Feb. 2 and concludes March 28.

Aggie Recycling will gather and weigh the recyclables collected during the competition.

NMSU can recycle an assortment of mate-rial including plastic, cardboard, paper and aluminum

Recycling these items during RecycleMa-nia week will help NMSU win the competi-tion and make NMSU more Earth friendly.

According to RecycleMania, there are four

goals to the program including motivating students and staff to recycle, generating atten-tion and support for campus recycling pro-grams, encouraging colleges to measure and benchmark recycling activity and having fun.

“I want people to see it and understand the importance of waste reduction and keeping things out of landfills,” newcomer said.

NMSU student Sativa Cruz is the new assistant for the office of sustainability and the president of the Environmental Science Student Organization. “We want to get new recyclers on board,” Cruz said. “RecycleMa-nia allows for plenty of opportunities to get students involved and have fun.”

RecycleMania has proven to get students involved. The competition began with two universities, and now more than 500 univer-sities participate in the green movement.

According to RecycleMania, last year 3.5 million students and staff member partici-pated, collecting 90.8 million pounds of re-cycling and composting.

For the 2013 competition, NMSU ranked No. 7. Results for 2014 will be posted week-ly. The office of sustainability and TRU will release updates.

Two school shootings in a week spark gun debateby Tara MeltonSta� Writer

As a child, Jessica Perez, now a New Mexico State University senior, knew two places where she could get a gun: in her dad’s drawer and in the storage unit of his truck.

Responsibility of parents and gun vio-lence in schools are the latest concern in the national gun debate as many examine the recent school shootings including one in a Roswell, N.M. middle school and the other at Purdue University.

According to CNN, two middle school students were shot inside the gymnasium of Berrendo Middle School Jan. 14. The victims, an 11-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl, were airlifted to Lubbock, Texas. The alleged shooter is a 12-year-old male who entered the gymnasium with a sawed off shotgun and fired three rounds.

He was eventually talked down by a so-cial studies teacher and faces charges of three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to reports. The maximum sentencing he’s facing would be confinement in a juvenile facility until he is 21 years old, according to court documents obtained by KOAT news.

Exactly one week later, one teaching as-sistant allegedly shot and stabbed another

teaching assistant to death at Purdue Uni-versity, according to the Associated Press. Cody Cousins, 21, is facing murder charges for the death of Andrew Boldt, a 21-year-old senior majoring in electrical engineer-ing. According to USA Today, this was the university’s first shooting in 17 years.

“It’s easier for a kid to get their hands on a gun than to buy alcohol,” said David Keys, Ph.D., professor of Criminal Justice at NMSU.

Keys said he believes the conversation in this country should not be about how guns got here but how we can deal with the situa-tion. Though he’s not advocating for some-one’s Second Amendment rights to be vio-lated, Keys said there’s a lot of violence in the media.

“Violence in the media offers a solution to someone’s problem, and in accordance with the availability of guns and substandard parenting, it becomes a deadly combina-tion,” Keys said.

Perez said both the parent and the child share an equal amount of responsibility when it comes to guns.

“At 12 years old, there’s enough violence on our TVs to know what a gun does and the consequences,” Perez said. “It’s also the parent’s responsibility to conceal their weapons.”

Flu season is in the air and it is not show-ing mercy on anyone, especially students at New Mexico State University.

This year there have been many outbreaks of influenza. National news sources reported many deaths ranged across all age groups in the nation.

Many students received their flu shot, but others are suspicious about the flu vaccine and whether or not they should get it.

Adriana Gomez, NMSU student, has been sick this year with a cold and a throat infection but said getting a flu shot still isn’t a top priority.

“I haven’t gotten my flu shot recently be-cause I haven’t really thought about it, hon-estly,” she said.

According to those national news reports, some cases include a person dying after they were vaccinated for the flu. This causes con-cern for some students and they are trying to find out what proper steps they should take if they get the flu.

Students can go to the Campus Health Center and receive their flu vaccination shot. At NMSU there have been eight cases of the

flu that have been reported. The downside is students will have to pay

$20 for the flu shot and $100 for the pneu-monia shot.

Carol Nevarez, registered nurse and nurse supervisor at the health center, said the doc-tors at the center are not able to supply shots for free.

“We don’t get our supplied vaccines from the Department of Health,” she said. “I think that if it came from the Department of Health, then that would be free of charge to students because they do their free clinic.”

Nevarez said they order their vaccines through a pharmacy, which is the same place they get their medications. She said all of those items are under certain contract pric-ing, so that determines the price they charge.

Even though the health center may charge students for the shots, Walgreens is a place they can go to receive those shots for free. But just like going to a doctor’s office, a scheduled appointment is required to get shots at Walgreens.

If shots scare you off, there are steps to preventing the flu that include hand washing, keeping up with personal hygiene and sani-tizing surfaces that are touched often.

FEATURE

In fall 2013, New

Mexico State University introduced

fractional grading, spreading negative and positive contro-versy among the student population.

Fractional grad-ing was supported by faculty sen-ate and passed by the Board of Regents. The grading system i m p l e m e n t e d plus and minus grades, however, it is still optional for teachers. The previ-ous grading system did not recognize plus and mi-nus grades.

Students are on both sides of the newly implemented way of grad-ing. Some students believe and has

positive effects.“I think it’s fair,” said Dil-

lon Roybal, NMSU student. “One who receives a plus on their letter grade as opposed to a minus should be rewarded a higher GPA than a person who got the minus. I think it’s logical.”

Others do not feel the

same. “ASNMSU has been 100

percent against fractional grading,”

said Wesley Jackson, vice presi-dent for the Associated Students of New Mexico State University.

The damaging of a GPA can cause financial aid issues. Jackson said students who fall under a GPA of 2.5 are at risk of losing their Lot-tery Scholarship, and students who fall under a 3.0 are at risk of losing other scholarships.

Data shows there has been a significant downward plunge on NMSU’s main campus GPA.

According to a document from the registrar’s office, NMSU main campus undergraduate students maintained an average of 3.0342 prior to fractional grading:

•This average was calculated with the average GPA of the last five consecutive semesters not in-cluding fall 2013.

•The average GPA for main campus for fall semester 2013, the first semester fractional grading took effect, is 2.957.

•The average GPA for main campus for spring 2013 is at a 3.028

The significant drop may be due

to the implementation of fractional grading, ac-cording to the data.

“When I first came to NMSU, I was concerned with getting A’s and A-pluses, but then I found out I could have a 4.0 with A-minuses,” said Alicia Gutierrez, NMSU student. “Now I’m having a hard time staying above a 96 in all my classes. It is fair, but I wish NMSU would have kept it so that I would have kept that

mindset I had as a

f r e sh -man.”

R e -garding

the data, Dennis Cla-

son, Ph.D., the chair of NMSU Faculty Senate, said him and his provost have “not have seen grade distribution yet” or have seen the documents.

Incoming freshman

requirements

The drop in NMSU main campus

GPA raises conversations on other GPA proposals and plans that may be implemented by administra-tion.

A proposal concerning the rais-ing of freshman GPA requirements is in discussion within NMSU ad-ministration.

“A proposal to raise an admis-sion requirement will be presented in near future,” Clason said.

The proposal would enact the requirement for a high school student to have a GPA of 2.75 or higher to get accepted into NMSU.

“No one involved in this pro-posal is not trying to make this an exclusive institution,” Clason said. “The goal is to place our students where they have the best opportu-nity of success.”

Information concerning this data is still being studied for definite data.

“The proposal is asking that students who are in a group that have a high chance of failure that they prove themselves,” Clason said. “The university and faculty are committed to having an alter-

TYSON STOLTEProfessor onReview Listen up

by Liz BakerSta� Writer

Tyson Stolte, Ph.D., is an assistant pro-fessor in the department of English at New Mexico State University. He has published articles in “Dickens Studies Annual, Victorian Review” and Novel: A Forum on Fiction; he is currently com-pleting a book manuscript on Dickens, the � rst-person novel, and Victorian psychology. He received his bachelor’s degree from Simon Fraser University, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, his master’s degree from Queen’s Uni-versity, Kingston, Ontario, Canada and � nally his doctorate from the Univer-sity of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Stolte was awarded the Hamilton Prize from The Victorian Review, which is given for the best graduate student

paper submitted to the journal in a given year. As the winner he received an award of $250 and publication of the essay in Victorian Review. The title of Ty-son’s winning essay, which appeared in the Spring 2010 issue of the journal is “’What Is Natural in Me: David Copper-� eld, Faculty Psychology, and the Asso-ciation of Ideas.”

His research and teaching emphasis are Victorian literature and culture, 19th century psychology, history of science/science and Literature, history of the Novel and Victorian poetry and poetics. Stolte uses Dickens’ � rst-person novels to understand the rhetorical means by which a particular articulation of psy-chology came to ascendancy in the 19th century.

Stolte has recently taught Victorian poetry and poetics, work in the Victo-rian novel, Victorian theories of mind and Victorian realisms at NMSU.

OPINION

by Michael S. YaczkoStaff Writer

Peyton Manning, also known as “The Sheriff,” has been the Statue of Liberty in the Na-tional Football League because he has become the pitchman and the “face” for nearly every product that the NFL partners with or endorses.

The comparisons run deeper for me though. Manning has of-ten been noted for standing in the pocket like a statue during passing plays. Possibly being the least mobile quarterback in the league.

Despite his lack of mobility in a game where the quarter-back position is quickly evolv-ing into mobile quarterbacks, Manning always has been and always will be revered as one of the greatest players to ever play his position.

Manning also revolutionized the game throughout the 2000s — reading defenses at the line of scrimmage better than any passer in the league, making pinpoint throws, bringing stron-ger leadership skills and worth ethic better than possibly any other signal caller.

Many analysts debate that this Big Game could make the difference in Manning’s legacy. While Manning is one of the most consistent players during the regular season, his post-sea-son career has featured more lowlights and heartbreaking defeats than glorious triumphs.

This has led many to doubt Manning in high pressure situations during important games, however, if Manning can bring his Denver Broncos to a victory, he will be the first quarterback to ever win a Big Game victory with two different teams.

When the dust, or more likely snow, settles in East Rutherford, New Jersey Feb. 2, 2014, Manning will have an opportunity to either silence his critics or amplify their current doubts.

by Justin MartinezStaff Writer

When you think of a team that has a 37-year-old starting quarter-back, an average defense, the loss of their best offensive linemen, pass rusher and cover cornerback, you don’t automatically think that team would be a contender.

The fact of the matter is, the 37-year-old quarterback just put up the best offensive season for a quarterback, ever.

That “average” defense stepped up throughout the season, and players filled in beautifully for their fellow teammates who had season ending injuries.

Not to mention added motiva-tion to win it all for the Broncos coach John Fox, who overcame heart surgery late in the season to lead his Denver squad to the Big Game.

Peyton Manning led the Bron-cos to a 13-3 record, the No. 1 seed in the AFC and the No.1 scoring offensive in the league.

Not too shabby for a man people doubted would ever play again just a few years ago.

The plethora of receiving options Manning has can’t be ignored or taken for granted, and neither can their running attack led by a breakout year from Knowshon Moreno (1,038 rushing

yards and 10 touchdowns). It isn’t just this year’s success

that keeps driving the Denver Broncos, it’s actually last year’s blunder in the playoffs that is the driving force for this team’s run.

The Broncos lost a barn-burner of a game in last year’s playoffs to the eventual Champion Baltimore Ravens in embarrassing fashion. That is why it is a redemption year, and that’s why they will reign supreme.

Men on a mission doesn’t begin to describe it — it’s more like men of destiny.

Why the Broncos will win the Big Game

“Seahawks. They deserve their first Superbowl win.”

by Michael S. YaczkoStaff Writer

The keys for the Seattle Se-ahawks to bring home their first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history are easy to figure out but much more difficult to execute.

The first riddle Seattle must solve is Peyton Manning. The Denver offense have set a slew of offensive records this season.

The Seahawks fortunately have the perfect defense to combat the veteran signal caller. Rich-ard Sherman and his “Temple of Boom” secondary featuring key play making free safety Earl Thomas and hard-hitting strong

safety Kam Chancellor make any pass down the field a risk.

One reason the Seattle sec-ondary is so dangerous is coach Pete Carroll’s rotating pass rush resulted in 44 sacks in the regular season. Keeping pressure on Manning and keeping him uncom-fortable in the pocket can lead him to making vital mistakes.

On the offensive side, young quarterback Russell Wilson leads the offense into the biggest game of his career. Although Wilson’s play style couldn’t be more differ-ent than Manning’s, the two share a common bond in intelligence, leadership and work ethic. Wilson

may have an advantage in bad weather conditions due to ability to react on broken plays and make something positive happen on a play that could be disastrous for a lesser quarterback.

Together, Wilson and Lynch are the weapons in the Seattle of-fensive unit who can work together to keep control of the clock, slow down the pace of the game and keep Manning off the field.

If Seattle can execute with their key players, keep the pressure on and keep the most dangerous of-fense off their rhythm, they could walk away with the Lombardi Trophy.

The New Mexico State Eques-trian team continues with their sea-son and will compete against South Carolina Feb. 1 in Las Cruces. Ac-cording to the National Collegiate Equestrian Association, South Carolina currently tops the rank-ings while NMSU occupies the No. 4 spot.

South Carolina closed the fall season with a 6-2 record with back-to-back road wins against Auburn and South Dakota State.

NM State finished the fall season with 7-2 record and climbed up the national rankings after starting the season unranked.

The fall season ended well for the Aggies, winning six straight matches with four victories on the road. The spring season is full of

elite matchups including No. 2 ranked Auburn and No. 6 ranked Georgia. Well balanced in both Western and Hunter seat, the Ag-gies rely on teammates Brynn Lar-son and Emily McConnell.

McConnell finished the 2012-2013 seasons with a winning record as well as an All-American Hon-orable Mention. Larson, a junior from Brush Prairie, Wash., brings strength to the team in horseman-ship and reining.

Winning this matchup against a tough South Carolina team could project the Aggies to the No. 1 spot in the rankings, but it won’t be easy.

The top five NCEA Rankings for the 2013-2014 season as of Dec. 2: 1) South Carolina 2) Auburn 3) Baylor 4) New Mexico State and 5) Kansas State.

A solid victory by the New Mexico State Men’s Basketball team over the University of Texas Pan-American Broncs will improve their standing in the Western Athletic Confer-ence.

NMSU put up 90 points and held Texas Pan-American to 78 points in Saturday’s con-test. Junior guard Daniel Mull-ings scored a career high of 32 points during the game. Mull-ings was nine for 15 from the field and hit 13 of 15 from the free throw line.

Center Tshilidzi Nephawe destroyed opponents with his athleticism. The redshirt junior put his ball-hogging skills on dis-play as he grabbed as career high 15 rebounds himself. Nephawe also scored 14 points, earning himself a double-double.

Statistically the Broncs were simply unable to c o m p e t e at the

same level as the Aggies. NMSU, as a team managed to shoot 65.2 percent from the field while holding Texas Pan-Am to 51.7 percent, which became a 12 point difference maker at the buzzer.

This victory will move the Ag-gies up to a 15-7 overall record on the season and help them to regain their position in the WAC with four wins and two losses in the conference.

Mullins praised his team-mates for their strong defensive play and credited his perfor-mance to taking advantage of openings whenever the team could find an opportunity.

“I think maybe it was a good thing that we lost, and now we try to go into every game more focused and ready for any-thing,” Nephawe said.

The Aggies will be in action again hosting WAC confer-ence opponent Bakersfield at the Pan-American Center Jan. 30 and will host Utah Valley on

Feb 1. Both games are slated to start at 7

p.m.

The New Mexico State men’s tennis team started the spring season against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. The Aggies fell to TAMUCC (4-0) to start their season with a loss. The matchup took place Thursday, Jan. 23 at the NM State Tennis Center.

In singles play there were six matchups, three ending in a DNF and the other three ended in victories for TAMUCC.

The lone victory for the Aggies came in doubles play where the dynamic duo of Strahinja Treca-kov and Charles Baron faced-off against Javier Pujol and Pietro Jordao. New Mexico State won the matchup 6-3, but the Islanders won the other two doubles matches to win the doubles point.

After starting the season with a loss, the Aggies next match was held Saturday, Jan. 25 against Utah State.

“We got a tough team on Saturday, Utah State is always a tough team and we have to play a lot better,” said coach Carlos Vargas.

NM State earned a 4-3 victory against Utah State to improve to 1-1 on the season. The Aggies domi-nated singles play by winning four of the six matches but lost two of the three doubles matches to give Utah

State the doubles point.The men’s tennis team will have a four-game road

trip beginning in Las Vegas, Nev. The University of Nevada-Las Vegas will host the Aggies Jan. 31. After that match the Aggies will play California Riverside and Southern Mississippi Feb. 1. The weekend com-petitions wrap up against Weber State Feb. 2.

The New Mexico State men’s golf team began their 2014 spring season in the Arizona desert at the Sewailo Golf Club in Tucson, AZ.

Coming off a strong fall season that included team wins at the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate and the Prices Give-Em-Five Invi-tational. The Aggies finished the tournament in a tie for fifth place at 21-over par.

The tough 7,282-yard golf course was a challenge for the Aggies as only two out of five NMSU golfers finished in the top 10.

Junior Pat Beyhan, who com-pleted three rounds at 1-over par, and sophomore Kenneth Fadke who stayed consistent and carded a 4-over 217 total, led the Aggies.

Fadke fired a team high of eight

birdies in the first round to keep him around the top of the leader-board while Beyhan collected a few birdies of his own along with an eagle.

No. 4 ranked California domi-nated the entire field walking away with the team victory by 14 strokes and an overall score of 1-over 853 for the entire tournament.

“I’m really excited about the way we played this week in our first tournament of the spring,” coach Mike Dirks said. “This is a good golf course, but we made good de-cisions and good shots both days. If we continue this type of play all spring, good things will happen for this team.”

The men’s golf team will be back out on the course next at the Bayou City Classic in Houston, Texas, Feb. 21-23.
