Grad Issue: Student's daughter helps power her to degree

Emma Citizen | December 12

After 20 years of not going to school, Lisa Mascarenas will be receiving her associate’s degree in criminology from UNM Valencia. “Knowing I got this far, remembering the struggle and realizing just how easy it would have been to quit, I didn't and that makes me happy to know I did it,” Mascarenas said. Over the last three years, Mascarenas has been trying to get her degree. The biggest push for her was her 19-year-old daughter, Renee, who has been there the whole way.

Last week students had the chance to get sorted into a Hogwarts house, receive a (fake) Dark Mark tattoo and put their Harry Potter knowledge to the test in the third annual celebration themed around the popular franchise. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. last Tuesday students filled the SUB Atrium, “floating” candles hanging overhead, to take part in the festivities, which were organized by Student Special Events and Geeks Who Drink, a local group that organizes trivia night-type events.

Another year of Humans vs. Zombies

Emma Citizen | October 26

Showing its face once more for the Halloween season is the national tradition of Humans vs. Zombies, a weeklong game of “zombie tag.” Humans vs. Zombies has been an annual event at UNM since 2011, and has captured the hearts of the student body. The rules are simple enough. When registered as a human, you wear a bandana around your arm. If a zombie attacks a human, then the human becomes a zombie and has to move their bandana. Zombies wear bandanas around their heads or necks if they are stunned. Humans can stun zombies using nerf darts or sock balls. Zombies who are hit will be stunned for about 10 minutes. The game runs continuously for a full week leading up to Halloween. “You could be at La Posada at three in the morning and people could be playing,” said Alex Luna, a moderator for the game.
