Delete your profile, or perish trying

There is no shortage of reasons to hate Facebook. The time sink, the obsession; the passive-aggressive atmosphere; the lazy cowardice disguised as social communication; the freedom and complete ease to stalk and be stalked; the way every Facebook user is targeted, and their information sold and used to keep the depraved cycle working. Facebook is like high school never ended.

Poetry event a slam dunk

The marginalized will be the majority — well, at least for one night. The OUTSpoken Queer Poetry Slam started in October as a quarterly event, and in June it will culminate in the PrideFest championships. Organizer Erin Northern said the Albuquerque slam poetry scene probably hasn’t heard all the queer voices because some are reluctant to put themselves in vulnerable situations.

Gallery offers pretty ugly art

Apparently this really happened: During World War II, pinball machines in family restaurants exhorted players to “Kill The Jap.” How ugly, indeed. The Que Feo exhibit is a collection of artwork previously displayed at the 105 Art Gallery and created by artists’ collective Vistas Latinas.

ASUNM looks for fee board influence

Group’s relief funds staying put

The UNM Japanese Language Club tried to withdraw funds it raised from its ASUNM account to give to the Japan relief effort, but discovered doing so would violate of the New Mexico State Constitution. The Anti-Donation Clause, article IX, section 14 of the New Mexico Constitution states that, “Neither the state nor any county, school district or municipality shall directly or indirectly lend or pledge its credit or make any donation to or in aid of any person, association or public or private corporation.” Because of the law, University policy prohibits organizations from donating funds in ASUNM accounts to any charitable or political organizations. George Gorospe, president of the UNM Japanese Language Club, said the club wanted to donate to Japan with money from fundraisers the club sponsored to support itself.
