Students find release in swing dancing

UNM junior Kevin Clark started dancing four years ago, thanks to his girlfriend at the time. Now he dances across the nation and is an active advocate for the growing dance scene at UNM. Swing dance is rooted in a sense of community, Clark said. “Swing is about making it a dance between two people rather than two people dancing while holding hands,” he said. Clark said he realized community was the focal point of this dance at his first out-of-state dance event in San Diego. “Sometimes you get jaded to your own dance community, just like any family,” he said.

Looking for meaning in the NM landscape

Roi Kuper is an Israeli landscape photographer and UNM’s first artist in residence. He has worked in England, France, Spain and Scotland.  “Whenever I go somewhere to photograph landscapes, it’s not that I’m looking for an interesting landscape to photograph,” Kuper said. “I already know there is something interesting at the particular area, and I go there to find more interesting things within the landscape.” Kuper will give a lecture today at 5:30 p.m.

Hokona Hall resident: Fire alarms took 20 minutes to sound

When a dryer in the Hokona Hall laundry room caught fire last week, the smoke alarms either went off immediately or a half hour late, depending on whom you ask. “I could smell the smoke in my room about 20 minutes before the fire alarm went off, and I live on the third floor,” said student Axie Papp. Bobby Childers, Residence Life and Student Housing public affairs representative, said the alarms functioned exactly as they were supposed to. He said it wasn’t possible that it took the alarms a half hour to go off.
