Maceo Martinet's column about dams and water was an unfortunate escapade in poor journalism. I believe the theme was that dams are bad, causing social and environmental upheaval and lead only to excess and waste in the consumption of electricity. India is cited as an example of this, where apparently dams have displaced millions of people for the sole purpose of allowing "casino-style cities." Hoover Dam also is an example, its purpose is apparently just to supply electricity to Las Vegas. And finally, dams are redistributing water around resulting in a massive imbalance of water and the slowing of the planet's spin.

An opening prayer, American Indian dances and a buffalo barbeque today will kick off the annual Nizhoni Week, which promotes American Indian cultural awareness on campus.
New Mexico is the type of place that can make you tear your hair out if you are big on change or efficiency, but it has found its niche by embracing its endearing quirkiness. The Land of Enchantment is an odd mix of culture and stubbornness that lures artists seeking inspiration in droves.
