L a c t a t i o n station services have been expanded to more CNM campuses for students, fac-ulty, and staff who need to pump breast milk, said Student Health Center Director Marti Brittenham.

Private rooms can be reserved at no cost with no requirements or paper-work in order to pump milk, said Brittenham.

“Mothers bring in their own pumps and lock the door so they don’t get interrupted. They can sit comfortably, read some magazines and then leave,” said Brittenham.

Achievement Coach Chioma Heim said she real-ized how desperately CNM needed to raise awareness about lactation stations when she returned from maternity leave and had difficulty finding a place to pump in private.

“I didn’t know where to go. My office is all glass

and other offices still had the little sliver of window on them I would try to cover,” said Heim.

It is important for the people to know that there are places to go in order to pump breast milk, she said.

“Women need to be able to pump and feed their kids. It’s uncomfortable to be in a place feeling like you can’t properly provide for your family. I knew I wasn’t the only person who needed to pump,” said Heim.

Lactation stations have been operating informally

for years on campus, but this is first time intentional plans were made to expand to multiple campuses, said Multi Campus Director Jennifer Cornish

She said she has been working with Student Success Team Leaders the past six months to make the stations more available. A station in the Jeannette Stromberg building is the only one that is not open yet and stations at Rio Rancho

www.cnm.edu Financial Aid Changes

Pell Grant recipients will be allowed only six total years of aid

The previous aid limit of nine years has been short-ened to 600 percent, or six years. For students attend-ing school full time year-round, that means they must complete their undergradu-ate studies in six years.

For students attend-ing year-round part time, the limit would be 12 years. It is important to note that while this is effective as of the fall term, it backdates for all current students. Students can find their current percentage by visiting nslds.ed.gov.

Student loan repayment grace

period discontinued

Students will no longer receive a six month grace period for loan repayment after completing undergrad-uate studies for any loans borrowed after July 1, 2012. Loan repayment will now begin immediately after leaving school. This does not affect loans received before July 1, 2012. For students receiving a post-graduate degree, loans must be pay on while attending school.

Family income eligibility limit lowered

A student’s Expected Family Contribution is automatically zero only if the family earns less than $23,000 a year rather than the previous limit of $32,000.

Ability to Benefit eligibility changes

Students enrolling in school for the first

time after July 1, 2012, who do not have a high school diploma, GED or state homeschool com-pletion, are no longer eli-gible for the Pell Grant.

Previously, students could still receive finan-cial aid after passing an approved test or by suc-cessfully completing six college-level classes.

Repayment incentives eliminated

The U.S. Federal Government can no longer offer incentives for students repaying loans.

Direct loan interest rate raised

The new fixed annual interest rate for Direct Subsidized loans is now 6.8 percent. This will remain in effect through 2013. The precious inter-est rate was 3.4 percent.

Transcript verification now

required

Students applying for the Pell Grant must turn in a transcript from all previous post-secondary education institutions to be eligible for financial aid.

Appointment needed to see academic adviser

The Academic Advisement Office, located in the Student Services Center room 203, will no longer accept walk-in appointments in an effort to cut down on student wait times.

Appointments can be made with an adviser by calling 224-4321.

Creative?

By Paula BaumanEditor-in-Chief

Albuquerque Little Theater is preparing for the premiere of “Spring Awakening,” a controver-

sial musical that will appeal to a dif-ferent demographic, said Executive Director Henry Avery.

The Little Theater, best known for its “Family Theatre Series,” will feature “Spring Awakening” from July 19 – 29 because the theater seeks to serve the entire community while being respectful of audiences’ diverse tastes and feelings, said Avery.

“Not every show is for everybody,” said Avery.

Director and Stage Manager Ryan Jason Cook said he hopes the musical will elevate community the-atre as a whole by pushing the com-munity theater mentality into the pro-fessional realm.

He expects the show to evoke mixed emotions from audiences, said Cook.

“Some will feel passionately in love and strive for those in-your-face emotions and sexuality while others will not even make it through Act 1,” said Cook.

Avery said it has been important to be honest with theater patrons about the mature content of the R- rated coming of age musical and that variety is important.

While the show does contain strong language and sexual situa-tions, Cook is taking things in a more

artistic direction to convey certain scenes, he said.

Although “Spring Awakening” was originally written in the 19th cen-tury, the issues it addresses are still very relevant, said Cook.

The musical is an adaptation of the play by the same name, written by German playwright Fred Wedekind. It follows Wendla Bergmann as she enters adolescence. Wendla has many questions in an era where children are not encouraged to ask questions. Throughout the musical, Wendla and her friends confront sexuality, puberty, rape, and what it means to come of age.

“Human sexuality has not changed. It’s just more in-your-face now. At that time, people had very repressed feelings. This show is about dealing with those feelings,” said Cook.

Dual-enrollment student, ensemble member and Wendla Bergmann understudy Michaela Bateman likes that the Little Theater’s version of the musical not only brings an absorbing story of life, death, identity and adolescence to audiences, but that also addresses these issues in a way that the audi-ence can relate and connect to the characters, she said.

“I find it easy to identify emotionally with the characters in “Spring Awakening,” but it’s sad to think of friends who faced some of the same issues, which just makes me realize how impor-tant this show is,” said Bateman.

The show will focus more on content than shock value because that is not necessary to make it pow-erful, said Avery.

“There are multiple dimensions. It is a spectacle, but there are also a lot of straight scenes that drive things and flesh out the story line,” said Cook.

Bateman said being a part of the rehearsal process has taught her so much about acting, singing and pro-fessionalism in general.

“I know that I will leave the show with lessons learned, lasting friend-ships and great memories of being involved in an extraordinary show,” said Bateman.

“Spring Awakening” will also be the first performance to christen Albuquerque Little Theater’s new stage, said Avery

The theater received a $25,000 grant from PNM for the renova-tions and the remainder of the cost was donated by patrons, said Avery.

The theater board members are deeply thankful for these gen-erous contributions and wishes to express their gratitude, said Avery.

The construction has allowed the cast of “Spring Awakening” to have more time to rehearse and better prepare for the show, said Avery.

The theater will hold an open dedication on July 29 that will include tours, information, refreshments and entertain-ment from the cast of “Spring Awakening” and past productions.

We want to hear about it.

The Vortex Theatre’s produc-tion of Williams Shakespeare’s

“Twelfth Night” is entertaining, witty and saturated with a dazzling cast. Director Brian Hansen’s deci-sion to set the play in post-World War I Italy breathed fresh relevancy into the 400-year-old work.

Filled with hilarious antics, “Twelfth Night” can seem chaotic at times, but in the end carries a well-received message about gender roles and life in a man’s world. The play was a smashing success and the laughter was contagious.

Caitlin Aase, who plays gen-der-bending Viola, delivers the role with incredible grace and understand-ing. As Viola masquerades as manly Cesario, Aase makes it as easy to forget that a woman is playing the part. When returning to the very feminine Viola, Aase is equally effective.

Charles Fisher is absolutely delightful as the taciturn Malvolio, who has become enamored of the Countess Olivia, played by Jessica Record. The scene in which Malvolio dons canary yellow stock-ings, in a mistaken attempted to prove his love for the countess, is perfectly – and hilariously – deliv-ered by Fisher.

Even the actors with minor roles, like CNM TRiO Adviser Rob Carriaga as the Holy Father and Linda Williams as gentle-woman Maria, offer shining per-formances in just a few short lines. Hansen bolsters the stage time for the minor characters with the addi-tion of an incredible scene.

In between a few of the main scenes, the then-common practice of passing a love letter through a fence gives the opportunity for the lineless ladies-in-waiting to spend time each as the only character on the stage. This ingenious bit offers insight into Hansen’s creativity and consideration for every cast member.

“Twelfth Night” is the story of Viola and Sebastian (played by Billy Trabaudo), who are twins sepa-rated in a shipwreck and who each believe the other dead. In order to survive, Viola dresses herself up as a page named Cesario in the Dukes court. Soon after, Sebastian arrives in town and mistaken iden-tity ensues. Add in three separate love triangles and what occurs is comedy gold.

Overall, the entire production has the kind of comic drama that can only be found in a Shakespeare play. The cast played the roles with precision and execution worthy of the Bard of Avon. It is a must see.

“Twelfth Night” runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday through July 15 at the Vortex Theater, located at 2004 ½ Central Ave. Student tickets are $10 at the door. For more information, call 247-8600 or visit vortexabq.org.

“Savages” is a typical drug-inf luenced, vio-lent Oliver Stone film that lives up to the adrenaline rush action-thriller genre to which it belongs.

The movie portrays two marijuana growers — peace loving humanitarian Ben (Aaron Johnson, “Kick Ass,” “Shanghai Knights”) and ex-Navy Seal Chon (Taylor Kitsch, “Friday Night Lights,”

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) — duking it out with a Mexican cartel.

O (Blake Lively, “Green

Lantern,” “The Town”) nar-rates the story of Ben and Chon, two best friends who create an ingenious marijuana business, and share O as their girlfriend.

When O is kidnapped by the Baja Cartel, led by Elena La Reina (Salma Hayek, “Puss in Boots,” “Frida”), the two marijuana growers go on a rampaging spree of revenge.

The love triangle among Ben, Chon and O drives the plot of the movie, but is awk-ward at best as it bogs down the action with too much love story filler.

O serves as the glue that holds the two best friends together, as well as a pawn in Elena’s struggle for survival in the drug trade.

Her narration adds a basic

background element to the movie, so that the audience can understand how the marijuana business and Elena’s cartel began and ultimately ended.

Though this was ben-eficial to the plot of the story, the movie could do with-out the narration, as it dis-tracted from the emotions felt between the characters.

The violence in the movie can get overly gruesome in some scenes, but it definitely clarifies Elena’s desperation, as her cartel is on the brink of falling apart at the hands of her right hand man, Lado (Benicio Del Toro).

DEA Agent Dennis, played by John Travolta, and drug bandit Lado, added a much-needed comedic

element to the film. The actors deliver a true emo-tional dialogue throughout the movie while still main-taining a professional compo-sure with each other.

The only awkward acting was from Hayek, because she did not fit the role of a drug kingpin. She made up for it by having her henchman do all the dirty and violent work.

Over all “Savages,” satisfies and fills the role of being one of the best down-to-earth violent action films of the summer, with-out being too over-zealous in the drug aspect.

The CNM Chronicle gives “Savages” four out of five bullet-riddled marijuana leaves.

Inter Varsity provides a community of students from the CNM and UNM area who love Jesus and want to grow and serve him in a way that also benefits the community through extensive bible study, community ser-vice and fun faith build-ing activities, said group leader Nathan Layman.

For the 35 regular stu-dent members, participation in the bible study groups throughout the week involves the students studying books of the bible, fellowship build-ing games and singing songs

of worship, he said.“When you’re coming

from high school into col-lege, you are beginning to move into a new com-munity while also going through a time where you are growing into a young adult, and by joining Inter Varsity you will be able to develop a really close bond around the fellowship of friends that will help you move through the changes and difficulties of college,” said Layman.

He said that fully engaging in the group has helped him realize that col-lege is so much more than just trying to survive the two or four years it takes

to get a degree. It is about the way the community is affected by the actions of people with skills and long-term relationships.

There is a fair amount of interest throughout the university and college areas, he said. Many of the activi-ties are what bring the com-munity together.

“As of now we are trying to expand into the Santa Fe colleges and start a fellowship up there that is sustainable after a semester of our group’s involvement,” said Layman.

Layman said he has been a member for three years and has been lead-ing a weekly bible study

group for two years.There is no application

process and those interested in joining can come to a meeting to fill out contact information and receive the list of events that are held throughout the year, he said.

“I would really love to get more CNM students to get involved, and if real interest is shown we can definitely create a char-ter and CNM fellowship,” said Layman.

said New Mexico State Forestry Fire Prevention and Outreach Program Manager Dan Ware. As fire danger increases, the need for fire safety increases right along with it. Understanding fire safety and taking steps to improve preparedness and preventing fires will help both the people and the land, said Ware. In light of the very hot and dry season, Ware offered these safety tips for students:

1. Private property should have a fire-proof perimeter.

Manage the land and create a healthier environment. Trim trees and keep trash contained. It will help pro-tect from a raging wildfire.

2. Obey all fire restrictions.

The state of New Mexico has many fire restrictions depending on the heat and dryness of the terrain. The fire restrictions can be found onn m f i r e i n f o . c o m / i n f o r m a t i o n /fire-restrictions-on-state-and-private-lands

3. Be aware of surroundings and do not add to fire danger.

There have been so many weird or unique fire causes in New Mexico that had nothing to do with open flame: blown tires, engine exhaust, brake particles from cars. Paying attention to details can help lower the risk of a fire.

4. Use common sense regarding fires.

Make sure there are water sources and a shovel when choosing to have a campfire so that it can be put out completely.

5. Understand that a fire can happen to anyone.

People who believe that a fire cannot happen to them create a greater fire hazard. Some of the most destructive and biggest fires in New Mexico history have occured this year. The fire danger is so high it does not take much to get a big fire going. When burning weeds call 768-BURN first. Let neighbors and the local fire department know.

and ATC are planned for the future, she said.

“We are committed to providing as many services as possible at each and every campus — not just at Main. We want the services wher-ever there are students, and in this case it is for faculty and staff too,” said Cornish.

She said she wants stu-dents to know that CNM real-izes that they are more than just students attending classes.

“They are parents, they have jobs, and they take care of their family mem-bers. If you are a breast feeding mother, it is essen-tial to have access to a pri-vate, clean space to pump. We also want to support mothers who are able to breast feed — it is good for the baby,” said Cornish.

Achievement Coach Michael Heim participated in raising awareness about the sta-tions and said that female stu-dents, faculty and staff coming onto campus should have an area to pump comfortably.

“I never thought about it, especially as a man. They used to have to really look for places because the sta-tions were not advertised at all. Bathrooms are an inadequate area for pump-ing. There are a lot of parts and things to do. Set things down and handling other things and containers with your hands; it’s not condu-cive,” said Heim.

CNM Connect will continue to develop and improve areas for mothers and increase resources for parents and their children, said Heim.

“I think it will provide some sort of comfort to nursing mothers. Students aren’t usually here very long, but it is especially beneficial to faculty and staff. Both of those populations will be able to feel comfortable knowing they have a spot they can go to with some real privacy,” he said.

8 | the CNM Chronicle July 10 - July 16, 2012FEATUREThings are going boom at Quelab

By Stefany OlivasBusiness Manager

Quelab was founded based on the popular idea of a hack-

erspace — a place where people are able to explore ideas with few limitations, said Treasurer, co-founder, and former student Geoffrey Nicholson.

The non-profit hacker and maker space is a place where people can turn their inventive ideas into reality, said Nicholson.

“We’re a community workshop and a collabora-tive workspace. It’s a place to work feeling at home, away from home,” said Nicholson

He said he encourages people who have ideas to visit the lab to use the sup-plies for developing their creation and he said it is a great opportunity for inven-tive minds to work together.

The laboratory, located at 1112 Second Street, is open for Hacknights every Sunday and Tuesday to non-mem-bers and 24/7 to all mem-bers, said Nicholson.

“Our big focus is to come down and learn something. Hopefully if you learned something once, you’ll find it inter-esting and come back to keep working at it,” said

Nicholson. Biology and Engineering major Alfred Cockrin said he became a member at Quelab in 2011 after discovering hacker and maker spaces in Kansas and attending a makers fair.

Cockrin has worked on many personal projects, but his most prized cre-ation is a 3D printer.

“That was my biggest project. I have little side projects that stem off of it,” he said.

He said his favorite thing about Quelab is the community of people who have gathered around it.

“The people that are there are willing to help out. If you have something you want to do and don’t necessarily know the next step, they’ll try to figure it out with you. If they don’t know, they probably know someone else who has the answer,” said Cockrin.

There are some hack-erspaces that are more focused on hardware or software, some mobile and some focused entirely on electronics or entirely on biology, said Nicholson.

“It’s not a very defined thing. The big idea here is community and a technical focus,” said Nicholson.

Quelab has gathered many computer savvy members so major focuses

are hardware and software, but Quelab lab would like to have more access to things like chemistry and biology, he said.

“We’re generalized in theory, but in practice we’re more or less computer nerds,” said Nicholson.

Quelab hosts Hacknights on Tuesdays and Sundays from 7 p.m.

-10 p.m. and Co-working on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. for a fee of five dollars for non-mem-bers, first visit is free.

July 13-15 is Albuquerque’s first Hackathon, at Quelab and there is still opportunity for people to turn their pro-gramming, design or devel-opment ideas into a project.

Albuquerque will host a mini-makers fair on Civic Plaza on September 3. If people have projects they’d like to show off there is an ongoing open call for makers.

“It’s like the State Fair mixed with a science fair; the best things to show off are things that don’t work yet,” said Nicholson.

Nicholson said he sug-gests visiting hackerspace.org to learn more about hacker spaces and how to get involved. Makezine.com provides ideas and how-to’s for beginners.
