UNM President denies Pit bid-rigging allegations

by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu

espite a longer-thanexpected recovery, UNM President David Schmidly is healthy and ready to tackle looming budget cuts. In a Jan. 7 interview with the Daily Lobo, Schmidly said his energy has returned. He said he is prepared to face the upcoming legislative session, possible tuition hikes and campus construction. He said balancing the budget is his top priority. “I really think that for the spring term, the budget and all the decisions around the budget is going to dominate almost everything,” he said. Schmidly spent the fall semester on extended medical leave following an Aug. 27 operation on a slowgrowing abdominal tumor. The UNM president hoped to be back at the beginning of October, but he spent several weeks in the hospital. Schmidly said spending nearly nine weeks in the hospital while recovering was frustrating because it prolonged his absence from the University. “You have no idea how much I’ve enjoyed this week and getting back to work and feeling good,” he said. “I’m finally getting back on my feet to where I’m energized. It was a long semester in the fall.” A slimmed-down Schmidly, dressed comfortably in “casual

UNM President David Schmidly denied any wrongdoing in deciding to award an Oklahoma-based contractor a $60 million contract to renovate The Pit. In his first week back as university president after a semester-long medical leave, Schmidly is embattled in a lawsuit that alleges the bidding process was rigged to favor contractor Flintco, despite a lower bid submitted by a local contractor. “I have no special relationship with Flintco,” he said. “I had nothing to do with the scoring of those proposals or the awarding of that contract.” The lawsuit, filed on behalf of several state construction unions, alleges otherwise, stating Schmidly has had a relationship with Flintco since 2002. “Flintco used its crony relationship with UNM’s President David Schmidly from his years in Oklahoma to displace the legitimate winner, The Jaynes Companies,” the lawsuit states. A 100-point system was used in the selection of the contractor and the lawsuit says that Jaynes initially won, receiving 80.4 points, compared to Flintco’s 62. Jaynes also underbid Flintco by $2.2 million, but after alterations, the lawsuit alleges, Flintco won

Campus alerts leave some users behind by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu

Cesar Dominguez-Garcia, the man suspected of firing a bullet into a sixth-floor ceiling of UNM Hospital pediatric unit during a family altercation, turned himself in Jan. 8, ending a five-day search, according to APD officials. The Jan. 4 incident forced north and main campuses into lockdown. Roads leading into the area were blocked off with dozens of Albuquerque Police Department vehicles, and officers patrolled the hospital grounds with assault rifles. The hectic scene perplexed students and staff on campus because 12 percent of recipients got updates through UNM’s Lobo Alerts system nearly half an hour after their peers, according to UNM Emergency Manager Byron Piatt. Piatt said more than 88 percent of text messages, or roughly 28,000, were sent within 44 seconds. The additional 12 percent reached students, faculty and staff within half an hour. Others who are not signed up for the text alerts, but rather receive their messages via e-mail, got the first alert after the situation was cleared. Piatt blamed technology issues for the delay and said individual cell

phone carriers might be to blame. However, he still recommends that students and staff use alert text messages. “Text messaging is a whole lot faster than e-mail systems,” he said. “You can send a lot more text messages a lot faster than you can e-mails.” Student Noah Armstrong said he is concerned about the University’s ability to alert those on campus during an emergency. “The system needs to be fixed,” Armstrong said. “If 12 percent didn’t receive their text message in time, maybe UNM can find a correlation between the people who didn’t get their message and their cell phone provider.” Student Derric Romero said he was in class when the notification was sent out. “Everyone’s phones started to go off and the teacher was like, ‘What is so deathly important that you guys are texting?’” he said. “So we just told her there is a shooter on campus, and she changed her tone real quickly.” Every response entity at UNM must undergo an After Action Review to determine if any areas need to be improved for future incidents, Piatt said. This was the first time LoboAlerts

During the fall semester finals week, a message was sent out to the inform students, faculty and staff about a weather delay. Information Technology Services bought LoboAlerts in 2008. It replaced the old notification system

because it was not reaching enough of the University population. Everyone with a banner ID is automatically subscribed to LoboAlerts. The cost of the service was not immediately available last week. Piatt said it is important for students, faculty and staff to enter a cell

phone number with their banner ID because information can be sent much faster that way and to avoid any delays during future incidents. “We are going to try to work on an education campaign that putting a cell phone number is the right way to go,” he said.

Letter Mixed messages during finals week is inexcusable Editor, The University administration has mastered the art of maximizing uncertainty. First the facts: On Dec. 16, it rained most of the day and into the late evening, turning to snow in some places. At 10:10 p.m., APS posted that there would be at two-hour delay for most of its schools. (East Mountain schools would be closed.) This already creates uncertainty for UNM personnel because UNM has an explicit policy of mirroring APS weather delays. “The University will attempt to align delays and closures of the Albuquerque campus with delays and closures of the Albuquerque Public Schools.” (Policy 3435 on Inclement Weather). Instead, UNM waited until 5:49 AM to send the following text message: “UNM is on a two-hour delay for nonessential personnel only. Finals are on regular schedule.” The message did say to check the UNM homepage for more information. Doing so, I learned which employees are essential personnel, but it said nothing more about finals. Now let’s think about this. (The University is, after all, big on teaching critical thinking skills.) The message explicitly said, “Finals are on a regular schedule.” But the earliest final is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. If there is a two-hour delay (until 10 a.m., by the way, according to the additional message on the UNM homepage), what do the two statements mean for a 7:30 a.m. exam? Unfortunately, it can be taken either way: the final is on or the final is off. The implication of finals being on a regular schedule is that a 10 a.m. exam will be at 10 a.m. So, there’s no allowance for taking the 7:30 exam, say, at 10 a.m. and the 10 a.m. exam at noon. So let’s assume that the administration meant for the 7:30 a.m. final to be taken on the regular schedule, too. This would mean that maintenance personnel would need to show up to unlock the buildings and classrooms, bus drivers would have to show up to shuttle students from the parking lots, instructors would have to show up to proctor exams, students would have to show up to take exams, and, in some cases perhaps, department administrators would have to show up to unlock exams. (None of these jobs are listed as “essential personnel,” however.) That would mean that a large percentage of everyone who would have been on campus are on campus anyway. It turns out that campus life begins earlier than the administration’s alert. Shuttles start running at 6:30 a.m. and drivers were told to be on campus at 6 a.m. during finals. To do that, bus drivers were already on campus. As I walked across campus to give my 7:30 exam, the shuttles were running, buildings were open, the cleaning staffers were working, and at least one maintenance person was blowing leaves. So, what did the administration’s alert mean in the end? It added to the stress of students who perhaps didn’t get a good night’s sleep not knowing (after the APS delay was announced) whether their exam would be postponed or canceled. It generated uncertainty for students who tried to reconcile two contradictory statements. One student asked whether it meant that our 7:30 exam was at 10 a.m. The practical effect was minimal. Students who live in areas that got more snow (like Santa Fe) e-mailed to say that they couldn’t make the exam. That’s reasonable and responsible. Sending clear messages is reasonable and responsible, too. Sending a message that maximized uncertainty (and gave some students an excuse to show up at 10 a.m. for a 7:30 exam citing the University Alert) is irresponsible and incompetent. Christopher K. Butler UNM faculty

column

Coach Hackett was a valuable teacher, family friend by Steve Maier

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist I was saddened to read the featured sports page article in the Albuquerque Journal covering the passing of Coach Hugh Hackett. Coach Hackett was a wonderful person who touched many lives around him, both in and out of sports. My name is Steve Maier. I am an Albuquerque native. I graduated from Sandia High School and UNM. My father, Jerry Maier, introduced me years ago to Coach Hackett. My father was a coach for years in Albuquerque and was a close personal friend of Coach Hackett. I currently live in Missoula, Mont. The story I want to share is how Coach Hackett touched my life and the life of my youngest son, Darby. I believe that Darby is likely the last athlete that Coach Hackett ever coached before his passing. Last year, on a visit to Albuquerque, my father contacted Coach Hackett to notify him that we were in town and that Darby was beginning to compete in track and field events at his high school in Missoula. Darby was then a freshman and was beginning his first year of track and field competition as a thrower of the shot put, discus and javelin. (Darby has also begun throwing the hammer in USA Track and Field competition meets, but before meeting Coach Hackett last August, he had never had any formal training of any type with throwing this device). On a sunny afternoon in August 2009, we met with Coach Hackett at Highland High School where he wanted to work with Darby and give him a private one-on-one coaching session. Initially, we were hesitant to meet with Coach Hackett, knowing that he was now 89 years of age and thinking that there was

probably little he could do to help a highschool-aged thrower. But we decided to meet with him anyway, mostly just to honor my father’s wishes that we meet with Coach Hackett. We never could have predicted the results that would flow out of that short afternoon meeting with Coach Hackett.

We feel honored to have been blessed with the golden touch of Coach Hugh Hackett’s one-of-a-kind coaching skills. Coach Hackett arrived at Highland with a car trunk full of old, rusty, antique-looking throwing implements. He had beaten-up shot puts of various sizes, rotting old wooden discuses with rusted and dented metal rings, a bent and dull javelin, and an old hammer with a bent wire and a makeshift throwing handle. When he arrived in his car, he got out, popped his trunk, and started tossing these implements out one by one onto the dirt parking area, narrowly missing our feet as well as his own. From there, he directed us to gather the throwing implements and carry them over to a small throwing pad in a corner of a lot behind the Highland High School gym. Coach Hackett commenced to coach Darby in throwing techniques for all four of these throwing devices — the shot put, discus, javelin and hammer. He started by observing Darby’s footwork and throwing technique. Next, he provided constructive pointers. Then, he actually got

onto the throwing pad and demonstrated (to the best of his aged ability) the proper technique he wanted Darby to use. Finally, he had Darby perform his corrected throwing techniques for him and he provided final pointers as they were needed. He instructed Darby to go home and practice these techniques over and over. Darby did this. This school year, as a high school freshman, Darby was his high school’s most valuable freshman athlete and won the varsity’s “most valuable thrower” award. The most valuable thrower award had never before been awarded to a freshman thrower at his high school. Darby had a successful high school season, upsetting multiple favored athletes in all of his throwing events, and breaking his school’s freshman throwing records for both the shot put and the discus. Following his high school season, Darby decided to continue competing in the 2010 USATF state, regional, and national track meets. In his state and regional competitions, he took either gold or silver in all four throwing events. In the USATF nationals, he medaled in three of his four throwing events. At the end of 2010, Darby had achieved All-American honors as a hammer thrower and as a discus thrower. Most amazing of all was his secondplace national finish in the hammer throw after having received only one afternoon of formal coaching from Coach Hackett, on a small corner dirt lot at Highland High School one August afternoon in the summer of 2009. Darby was seventh nationally in the discus and eighth in the javelin. We feel honored to have been blessed with the golden touch of Coach Hugh Hackett’s one-of-a-kind coaching skills — skills he retained even to his final day on earth. God bless coach Hugh Hackett!

I lost 45 pounds, but ... in December I started to turn a real corner, and now I feel fine.â&#x20AC;? Health no longer an issue, Schmidly said the transition back to full-time University president has been smooth, and he began working on the budget. In addition to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Presidential Strategic Advisory Teamâ&#x20AC;? he established last spring, Schmidly established a cost-containment task force and a tuition group with hopes of including faculty, staff and students in decisions about the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to complete all of this work in January and hopefully get it posted to where students, faculty, staff, alums can look at it in February and provide us feedback,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we can begin to approach the regents with recommendations in March, and we have to get a budget approved in April.â&#x20AC;? Schmidly said he supports former Acting President Paul Rothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement about avoiding across-theboard budget cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where the cuts will be, but they will not be across the board, and the priority will be the academic mission,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to keep students to where they can

JANUARY 10-17, 2011 / PAGE 5

get their classes, graduate on time, and we can continue to have the right number of faculty so that the degree programs can work properly.â&#x20AC;? Final decisions have not been made, Schmidly said, but the University will make reductions to administrative costs, and Schmidly got recommendations about merging and cutting higher administration positions.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where the cuts will be, but they will not be across the board, and the priority will be the academic mission.â&#x20AC;? ~David Schmidly UNM President Schmidly said decisions made at the upcoming legislative session could also impact the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, the biggest of which involves tuition credit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we get a tuition credit, we have to charge you tuition, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to keep that money,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a tax on students, and

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to eliminate the tuition credit.â&#x20AC;? Schmidly also hopes to address the distribution of cuts made to higher education, citing UNMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research mission as something to be considered. He said other issues including Education Retirement Board changes, facility issues and on-campus housing are priorities as well, though they also boil down to a lack of funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that over the last few years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken disproportionately high reductions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are lobbying the legislature that if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get cut letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make the cuts proportionate and fair.â&#x20AC;? Schmidly said he will work on improving confidence in UNMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration by increasing communication and transparency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not easy times in higher education,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime you have large budget reductions, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always controversy about how the decisions are made, what the priorities are, and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge of the decisions, and that has led to conflict between faculty and administration.â&#x20AC;? Schmidly said he plans to pick up where Roth left off by meeting with faculty, staff and student groups to continue building confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know when you can have a setback ... but I fully anticipate being able to attend to all of my duties without any problem,â&#x20AC;? he said.

the contract. Ray Baca, New Mexico Building and Construction Trades Council executive director, said his group submitted records requests to get the evidence. At a news conference last Thursday, Baca pointed out eraser burns on both companies score cards. The plaintiff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, John Wertheim, said five people, four of whom work for the University, including Athletics Director Paul Krebs, were part of the evaluation team responsible for rating the companies. Although he is uncertain about who altered the score sheets, he said the group reported directly to Schmidly and that all four sheets belonging to the University employees were tampered with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is very clear is that the rating sheet, the scores for the award of the Pit renovation contract, were manipulated,â&#x20AC;? Wertheim said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are scratch-outs. There is writing in new numbers.â&#x20AC;? The fifth score sheet, filled by a person who works with the architect, showed no signs of alteration. The lawsuit also points to Flintcoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring of Schmidlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Brian Schmidly, calling it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quid pro quo,â&#x20AC;? basically a favor for a favor, in return for winning The Pit contract. Schmidly said those allegations

bother him the most, because they are personal attacks against his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of personal accusations about me that are not true, and I will defend those vigorously,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this other stuff that gets into my family and my friends is personal and inappropriate, and I will defend them.â&#x20AC;? Baca said a New Mexico company lost out on a high-paying contract because of corruption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a situation of right versus wrong,â&#x20AC;? he said. The lawsuit was filed under the New Mexico Fraud Against Taxpayers Act, which allows plaintiffs to sue on behalf of the state, Wertheim said. The group is not seeking a specific amount but can be awarded up to three times the amount lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We simply want to get to the bottom of this, to make sure the taxpayers and the University are able to recover the $2.2 million theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re owed,â&#x20AC;? Baca said. Schmidly said the University will review each allegation before any action is taken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have our lawyers looking at them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first concern has to remain with the University, and the University is at least indirectly implicated in this, and so I have to be concerned about protecting the interest of the University.â&#x20AC;?

The Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Advisory Team completed its Fiscal Year 12 budget recommendations. President Schmidly initially charged the PSAT last spring to identify about $3 million in cost containment or revenue generation for the FY 11 budget. The team did just that, said Carolyn Thompson, office of the president and PSAT member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the summer, we realized our financial woes were not over and were re-commissioned for the fall to come together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have picked a lot of low hanging fruit, but we may be facing $21 million further permanent reduction come FY 12.â&#x20AC;? During the first phase of its work together, PSAT identified nearly $6 million of potential short-term savings for FY11. Undergraduate student and PSAT member Jake Wellman said recommendations involved substantial research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recommendations were more of fact-finding and providing additional information on proposals from other groups,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They highlight the impact the proposed measures would have. It is research that will be helpful in decision making down the road.â&#x20AC;? UNM spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said the PSAT is one of several groups commissioned to assist in cost containment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helping to come up with the FY 2011/12, they are going to look at the recommendations of all contributors and then the presi-

dent will pick the best of the recommendations,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to be viable for trying to get something done short term.â&#x20AC;? Thompson said input from faculty senate, student government, staff council and vice presidents will be taken into consideration, and the Board of Regents will have final approval of all proposals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be interesting to see if groups working independently came to the same conclusions,â&#x20AC;? she said. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations are divided between implementation for fiscal year 2012 and recommendations for activity in FY12 to prepare for the future. Within the recommendations document, the PSAT identified means to generate funds of about $14 million. The PSAT was aware of maintaining due diligence, Thompson said, and reduction consequences were deliberated. She said recommendations from the other presidential consultants will be posted online as they are finished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The PSAT happened to be the first, so that is why you see our document online already,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other recommendations from groups that the provost has pulled together, as well as from the deans, will be forthcoming.â&#x20AC;?

Best student activism (benefiting animals) While New Mexicans clamored for change in 2010, UNM’s John Kavanaugh actually provided it. As the UNM Wilderness Alliance president, Kavanaugh took part in wilderness awareness campaigns and demonstrations throughout the year. With a push in late October to protect New Mexico’s lobos, UNM’s Wilderness Alliance chalked outlines of lobos around Zimmerman, held a petition rally for the cause and sent a letter to the editor. As big of an achievement as the wilderness rally was, Kavanaugh’s Wilderness Alliance had bigger plans for the end of 2010. On Dec. 4, Kavanaugh and his activists took part in a wilderness protection rally for Otero Mesa. Held by New Mexico’s Wilderness Alliance, the event not only pressed for the permanent protection of Otero Mesa, but also recognized the efforts of thousands of New Mexicans to make Otero Mesa New Mexico’s next national monument. It is this air of ambition carried throughout 2010 by Kavanugh and UNM’s Wilderness Alliance that paves a bright and exciting 2011 for this group. Best theater troupe Without a doubt, the best theater produced in Albuquerque in 2010 came from Blackout Theatre, out of The Box performance space downtown at Gold Avenue and Second Street. What puts Blackout over the top from professional to something special is its drive to do things in a way that’s never been done before. All members of the Blackout Core act as designers, actors, directors, writers, administrators and creators. Their invention and innovation seem to appear out of thin air. Everyone helps and learns by doing everything, harnessing the ridiculous amount of talent in a group that is essentially a group of close friends, and always generating stunning results. They’ve produced material they’ve written themselves, and even when they don’t,

the shows always seem to have that Blackout touch. Blackout will show you things you’ve never seen before in a way you’ll never expect. Best student-run activity This year zombies invaded UNM, and what a day it was. It was the achievement of student organization that resulted in the undead roaming the campus and treating most to a nice break from the monotony of college life. This event gathered a lot of attention on Facebook with more than 700 people saying they would attend. Granted, only 150 showed up, but it was somewhat of a miracle the event got off the ground, since the group organizing had to clear it with campus officials. However, it’s even more amazing that everyone who participated in the event followed the rules and that no one was injured in the festivities. Yes, a couple of students were upset with the participants screaming and running through the SUB, but most students enjoyed the spectacle as evidenced by the numerous online comments praising the event. Plus, if you were there you would have seen people shrieking as they ran away from the undead. Here’s to hoping that next year brings more of these flash mob events, and majorleague props to David Lopez and Kodi Schmaltz for getting the whole thing together. Best non-UNM activist Since her life-changing dream about slaughtered pilot whales, Ruth Chavez committed herself to ending the mass dolphin slaughter that has been a Japanese tradition since the 1600s. Chavez has been doing her best to spread awareness about the issue, and she believes gaining as much support as possible is the only way to stop the slaughter. Her efforts culminated in a trip to Japan with the Earth Island Institute and their supporters in September. She left her comfort zone for a two-week culture shock. While in Japan, Chavez visited the famous cove where the dolphin slaughter occurs and was confronted by indifference and death threats. She participated in public protests that Japanese citizens paid no attention to and witnessed a slaughter firsthand, a sight that left her feeling helpless. Chavez said she lost hope several times, but she has not lost steam. Once leaders from the hundreds of countries who have objected the dolphin slaughter intervene, Chavez believes Japan will acquiesce. She plans on returning to Japan in September and has assembled Albuquerque supporters to join her. Proof # 2

Best student activism (benefiting humans) The most progressive accomplishment at UNM this year is the creation of the LGBTQ Resource Center. This center is a necessary component of any campus. We’ve long had similar centers dedicated to women, African-Americans, Native Americans and Hispanic/Chicano students. The creation of the LGBTQ Resource Center fills a void in our University’s open respect for the dignity of diverse groups. The center faced a long struggle for funding and space. After months of planning and proposals, the team that formed the center faced a setback when the University announced that funding would be cut to many student programs, and the center may not be able to get the money it needed to operate. After much public outcry, however, the funding was restored and the center opened its doors in August. The center, like others on campus, provides a safe space where people can be sure that they will not face discrimination based on who they are. The center also provides myriad other services including community network opportunities, counseling, STD information and free HIV testing. The fact that this center is greatly needed on campus is underscored by the recent vandalism of the center’s flag. Somebody tore down the rainbow flag outside the center in a clear display of prejudice against the LGBTQ community. This event alone is enough to prove that discrimination is still present on our campus, and this center is necessary for the community it serves. This leads me to the flip side of the coin, one of the many low points of the year: “the worst public statement by a UNM public official.” At the end of last semester, ASUNM debated the addition of a same-sex bathroom to the SUB. Although several senators arguing against the resolution made illadvised and, frankly, stupid comments, one particular utterance by Sen. Alonzo Castillo takes the grand prize. “In the month of November, only five people signed in to use the

LGBTQ (Resource Center),” Castillo said in front of the rest of the Senate and a Daily Lobo reporter. “I don’t see any necessity to create a bathroom for people who we created a department for that isn’t being used.” In fact, more than 220 people signed in to use the center in November. I counted more than 15 signatures on their sign-in sheet on a single day while doing an interview for another article. It’s hard for me to understand how this could have been an honest mistake, but let’s give Castillo the benefit of the doubt and say he’s not a bigot who knowingly provided false information in the hopes of denying benefits to a group he simply doesn’t like. Let’s say instead that he’s just misinformed.

2010 is the most sci-fi-sounding year yet. I mean, 2000 sounds pretty sci-fi, and 2001 is the best sci-fi movie with a year for a title, but 2010? Come on! Now that’s sci-fi. Try saying it out loud: Twenty Ten. Pretty cool, huh? But the world was not invaded by aliens (unless you believe that weird video from China), and we still don’t have personal robots. Still, some pretty cool stuff happened in 2010, and the Daily Lobo’s here to tell you about it. Read on for a compilation of the best stuff that happened in 2010 at UNM, brought to you by the faithful culture team. And keep your fingers crossed — maybe 2011 will finally bring us those robots.

Laugh your tail off at Aux Dog gbgentz@unm.edu

Someone once said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask me what the first rule of comedy is.â&#x20AC;? I began, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first rule of â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timing,â&#x20AC;? he blurted out, right in my face. It killed me. This is the core of comedy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what you say, so much as when and how you say it. The title of Aux Dog Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in the Timingâ&#x20AC;? could not be any more fitting. Taking a cue from their canine mascot to increase the relevance of the dying state of theater, Aux Dog has even joined with the Animal Humane Society to add a fundraising edge to the production. Aux Dog selected six of David Ivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one-act plays to produce, each with a different director, all of whom are actors in the various scenes as well. The great boon of one-acts is their brevity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if any begin to drag, at least they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drag for long. Luckily, even these moments are scarce in a show that is fast overall, funny and glowing with polish. Simply put, this is the best kind of community theater. The unmoving set pieces are elegant and slick â&#x20AC;&#x201D; massive steampunk gears that stick to the theme of comedic timing. Nearly all of the actors appear in more than one scene, so you really get a sense of the comedic range of those involved. The opening act has the distinction of being the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public image: three construction workers eating lunch

sitting on a girder 50 stories up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a rather iconic picture. The snapping speed and killer timing really sets the precedent for the show as a whole. The subtlety of the scene is played phenomenally well with next to no movement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the actors are bound to their small area, selling the scene without it becoming uninteresting. David Wolf in particular does a great job. The second scene sets the second precedent of the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; things can get crass. Not in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Girls One Cupâ&#x20AC;? gross-out kind of way, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberal swearing and sex jokes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nothing to really get offended by. This, of course, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop a large family from getting up and stomping off in the middle of the scene with perfect timing themselves. It was so funny it seemed like part of the show at first. Next was an inspired scene about two awkward mayflies meeting romantically, and the duo are assisted again by a scene-stealing David Wolf. The high concept of the sketch is something to be appreciated, and Chris Molony and Erin Slimak are delightful, armed with springy antennae and colanders for eyes. The scene, however, inexplicably slows in the end as the rush and tension of mayfliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 24-hour lifespan evaporates and they take time to nihilistically lament their wretched existence. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruin the scene by any means; it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very funny. The next scene is, appropriately enough, rapid-fire parody of David Mamet, the expatriate modern playwright and director. Those unfamiliar with the man or his work wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get

Now Enrolling for Spring 2011

value out of all the jokes, but you will by no means be left in the dust, especially if you think profanity is funny, which you should. The next scene involves more cursing and philosophy, but is splendidly executed. Much like the Aux Dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Woody Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;? last year, it involves two contemporary buffoons in togas philosophizing. Â Justino Brokaw and Aaron DeYoung nail these parts to the wall. Their dynamic is effortless and hysterical, and they take the absurd wordplay and philosophy each in stride. This is truly the one act to beat. Lastly, the offhanded musings turn political with the Russian author Leon Trotsky acting out final moments of his life with an ice axe smashed into his skull. It casually dangles from the back of his head. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best just to go with it. This is largely because Brennan Foster is absolutely stellar as Trotsky. He may give the best performance of the show, but it is truly hard to pick favorites in such a varied and polished production. Aux Dog Theatre has started off the year with a hell of a bang. You owe to yourself to see this show. The puppies will thank you.

Actor talks theater, beavers ARTIST’S

by Chris Quintana

culture@dailylobo.com

Law Chavez is an M.F.A. UNM student and actor who traveled across the country for 12 years before returning to New Mexico. He can also talk your ear off about beavers. Most of Chavez’s plays focus on history, a practice that allows him to earn grant money from local organizations. He participated in a live reading in last year’s Words Afire Festival, and he plans to attend this year’s festival. Daily Lobo: You said your parents weren’t supportive of your acting at first. What did they want you to do instead? Law Chavez: Agronomy, actually (laughs). My father was a bigtime golfer. He built golf courses around the city, and he stopped at the Rio Rancho Golf Course. It was more of a joint effort on both their parts of me accepting a theater scholarship here at UNM. And at that time, it was in fashion to go to school outside of the city you lived in, so they wanted me to go off, so I went to New Mexico State for a while. And then I dropped out of that because I wasn’t happy with that.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

DL: Then what? LC: Then after a couple of years there was an audition for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and I didn’t even tell them about that. And when I got in, they were like, “Well, OK. It’s a school.” DL: Could you explain what the American Academy is? LC: It’s an acting conservatory. It’s in the top of the acting schools in the country. DL: Could you tell me a bit about that time in your life? I mean, what was going through your head when you were accepted in that school? LC: First of all, I was shocked that I had gotten in because it was just this rigorous program of auditions and letters of support and you had to get a physical examination. You also had to take a questionnaire about your mental health because you were going to go in, and they were going to build you as an actor. I guess I was just more scared than anything else, but I was excited. And then I got there, and every day was being beaten down. DL: A lot of your work focuses on New Mexico history. Is there a reason for that? LC: There’s certain things about New Mexico that I have always been curious about and then I start to uncover them, and they are huge. New Mexico just has this really rich history. DL: Do you have an example? LC: The Alvarado Hotel for example. It was at First and Central, and that bus terminal is actually a replica of what the hotel looked like. It was the place to go in Albuquerque forever, and then they tore

it down for a parking lot for banking. By the time the community was aware of what was going on, it was too late, and it was demolished, and it really destroyed the morale of the city. DL: So what are you trying to do by tying history into your plays? Just because? Or is there a higher reason for it? LC: It’s an integrated art lesson. It’s my way to get people to know about the history of New Mexico. Nobody wants to take a history class when you can see a movie or play and it has the story in it, and you learn a lot. It’s a really cheesy example, but like the movie “Titanic.” You learn so much about naval history and how ships work, and of course you deal with the love story, but you learn a lot. And that’s my main goal. And my play I have been talking about, Caballos Muertos, it is about the beaver population. Did you know about that? DL: No, tell me more. LC: Before New Mexico went into Mexican territory and Americans were allowed in, the beaver population in New Mexico was huge. It actually controlled the watershed of the Rio Grande. Within a matter of years, the American beaver trappers came in. There was a huge demand for beaver fur in Paris and London. The Americans came in and pretty much wiped out the beaver population. Once they did, the Rio Grande just flooded, but it couldn’t control it’s flooding anymore. So then the Army Core of Engineers came in and straightened the Rio Grande and put in all those levies. As a result, since the river can’t flood itself at all, the Bosque is dying. So we have all these species dying, a great big fire hazard, and all because they messed with the beavers.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Skiers scrape savings to stay on the slopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

While the recession has created a financial slippery slope, it has not deterred skiers and snowboarders from shelling out hundreds each season to indulge in their sports. Representatives from local skiing hotspots said the recession has made little difference in how well-attended their slopes are. Christy Germscheid, Angel Fire Resort public relations director, said skiers’ and snowboarders’ devotion has kept them coming back each season. “The kids always seem to find a way to buy that pass,” she said. “It seems like they’re coming up with the money somehow. I think they may re-prioritize, you know; they may eat more Top Ramen in order to come and hit the slopes.” Student snowboarder Andrew Galloway said skiing and snowboarding gives people an escape from daily life, even more so in light of the recession. “It’s a lifestyle thing,” he said. “You get to go up, out of the city, away from everything, drink beer, hang out. …There’s nothing better than getting up in the morning and getting on the first chair on a powder day knowing you’re the first one that’s going to ride that snow.” Stacey Glaser, Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort marketing director, said skiers and snowboarders have bargain shopped to find the best deals, and that’s why New Mexico resorts have maintained steady business. “When the recession started, we were all scratching our heads wondering how it was going to affect our business,” she said. “What we discovered is that, overall, people still want to go on ski trips. They still want to do their ski vacations, but they’re trying to do it a little more affordably.” Of the New Mexico slopes, Pavel Babuska, a skier who works at Sport Systems in Albuquerque, said Taos has the most to offer with a season pass that pays off after the fourth

lift. The terrain suits beginners and experts, he said, and the only downside is that the crowd changed when they opened it up to snowboarders. “Taos is hands down the best — you pay the most for it, but it’s got the gnarliest terrain in New Mexico,” he said. “They actually hold the qualifying for the World Extreme Championships there. If you want the best, you go to Taos, and on a good snow year you can’t beat it.” Babuska said Angel Fire Resort has remained competitive with a season pass that includes lift tickets at Monarch, Durango, Ski Cooper, Pajarito and Sipapu at $299 for students, but it doesn’t provide the same challenges Taos does. “The downside is it’s not very steep,” he said. “Like for really aggressive riders, it won’t do a lot for you, unless the park is good. But if it’s not, then it’s still great for most people who just want to go and have fun.” Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort, two hours north of Albuquerque, is a family-owned operation that Babuska said has favorable deals. Sandia Peak and Ski Santa Fe, both owned by the Abruzzo family, have observed minimal attendance change, which Ben Abruzzo said can be attributed to their proximity to Albuquerque and having the most snow in New Mexico this season. “It’s right there in the backyard, and I think our prices are pretty reasonable compared to the larger areas in Colorado and whatnot,” he said. Babuska said Sandia has the potential to be a great place to ski and ride, though Santa Fe is a better option considering it’s still close to Albuquerque and offers better terrain. “As far as Sandia’s concerned, it could be turned into such a sick place, but they continue to have poorly operating, 40-year-old equipment,” he said. “Going from the base of Sandia to the peak on their fastest chair takes 22 minutes. It’s a total lift museum.” No matter the resort, Babuska said he is not surprised

students have shelled out hard-earned dollars to support New Mexico skiing and snowboarding. “It’s kind of extreme and fun, and that’s what we like to do,” he said. “Everything about the student community is more radical than conservative, and I feel like it’s kind of a radical thing to engage in.”

Stanford QB forgoes fame for brains by Ryan Tomari

sports@dailylobo.com To quote one of my close friends, “It’s stupid.” That was his opinion of Andrew Luck forgoing $50 million in NFL money and staying for his junior season at Stanford. Agree to disagree. I love Luck’s move. In a statement released a couple of days after his season ended, Luck said, “I am committed to earning my degree and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012.” I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but with the state of college football — from the BCS being a disastrous system to the Cam Newton dilemma at Auburn to even Luck’s head coach Jim Harbaugh rushing

toward the NFL — I was happy to see Luck stay at Stanford. I don’t want to make my case that Mr. Luck going back to school is good for college football. What’s good for college football is the game itself. I once wrote a piece before the 2009 World Series that the MLB needed the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees to meet up in the Fall Classic. My point was that it would be good for the MLB, and it’s what it needed. I am long off that bandwagon on my opinion of sports. What is needed is just for the games to be played. But back to Luck. I applaud him in his quest for his degree, passing on the money and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a No. 1 draft pick. If you watched Stanford’s second-

half domination of Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, you saw what Luck did. I highly doubt that Luck will pull a Sam Bradford and look like a dead fish on the deck of a boat after the former Oklahoma quarterback suffered his season-ending shoulder injury in the 2009 season opener against BYU. While injuries are freak accidents and — for the most part — unavoidable, I don’t see Luck or Stanford slowing down next year. Even with the departure of Harbaugh to the San Francisco 49ers, Luck put his foot down and told his teammates, school, parents, media and the rest of the college football world that he would return to school. For every Matt Leinart, Vince Young and Mike Williams there should be 20-30 more Lucks.

Stop by the SUB Atrium from 11 am to 1 pm to get valuable information from campus departments and programs to help start the semester off sta in the right direction.

Unfortunately, I was given the build of a 5-foot-7-inch, 135-pound, skinny pile of bones. I wanted to be a second baseman and win the World Series, and I wanted to be that wide receiver who made every catch I could to help my team win a championship. My father, who boasted two degrees in electrical engineering, always instilled in me that I could do whatever I wanted, but I needed to earn my college degree before doing anything I wanted to. While I am a couple of years older than Luck — and nowhere near having his athletic ability or good looks, and I won’t make millions like he will — I still look up to him for making the decision to earn his degree, especially at an institution like Stanford. Plus, the money will still be there for Luck in a year or two.

Wyoming shoots baskets, not blanks by Nathan Farmer

sports@dailylobo.com

Emma Difani / Daily Lobo UNM’s Lauren Taylor dribbles past Wyoming’s Chaundra Sewell at The Pit on Saturday. The Lobos’ poor shooting led to a defeat to the Cowgirl’s 63-53.

It was simple: Wyoming had a much better offensive performance than the UNM women’s basketball team at The Pit on Saturday. An early Lobo lead vaporized, and the Cowgirls outshot and outplayed the Lobos in a 63-53 win. “We had poor shooting,” head Wyoming 63 coach Don UNM 53 Flanagan said. “We are getting halfway decent shots but we are not executing as well as we should be at this time of the year. We gave ourselves an opportunity to get in the game late by pressing, and then we did not block out several times.” The Lobos found themselves spotted an early six-point lead after freshman Jasmine Patterson made three shots as part of her team-high 12 points, but that was the biggest lead the Lobos held. Wyoming’s Hillary Carlson hit a foul shot to tie the score at 11, and Wyoming never looked back. The Cowgirls went on a 17-0 run midway through the first half. But UNM fought back to go into halftime with only a fivepoint deficit. Guard Amanda Best said the game just slipped away. “Hopefully this will push us to play harder in the next game,” she said. “I am not going to look at this as a positive, but hopefully it can turn into one.”

Wyoming came out with the same intensity in the second half adding to its lead. Wyoming’s Aubrey Vandiver scored a gamehigh 24 points. After shooting only 34 percent in the first half, the Lobos missed four of their first five shots in the second half, and it seemed as if nothing would fall for UNM. “I think we are all pretty good shooters on our team, but when it comes to the game we are not mentally focused on them and we rush them,” Patterson said. “We need to keep our heads up when we are shooting.” Wyoming was up by as much as 18 points. Only two UNM players scored in double figures, and the four upperclassmen starters totaled a combined 25 points. “It’s pretty disappointing, and a lot of it was the older players,” Flanagan said. “My feeling is right now that I am getting pretty decent effort and execution from our freshmen and not getting it from our older players.”

Cowboys shoot from Pupils of the court the hip to end streak keep an eye on finals by Ryan Tomari

sports@dailylobo.com It’s not exactly how the UNM men’s basketball team wanted to start conference season. The Lobos saw Wyoming’s Paco Cruz sink an eight-foot floater over Lobo big man Alex Kirk’s head, and the Cowboys pulled out an 67-66 win in Laramie, Wyo. on Saturday. Cruz’s shot ended UNM’s 14 straight MWC wins, seven straight conference road wins and three straight wins at Wyoming. For head coach Steve Alford, the first fall in Mountain West Conference couldn’t be any more frustrating. “We’re one rebound away from another road Wyoming 67 win and a pivotal road win in league play,” he said. UNM 66 “We just couldn’t get the rebound that we needed, and we did a really good job again at the end of the game of getting stops and scores. We needed to get one more stop, and we had it but we just didn’t finish it.” After coming off of a 31-point performance, the most points scored by a UNM freshman, center Alex Kirk looked to be the hero again for the Lobos against the Pokes, despite only having eight points and four rebounds against Wyoming. With 57 seconds left, Kirk hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 64. Kirk said he came to UNM so he could have the opportunities to hit clutch shots. “I just knew that I had to make that last shot, because we were down three,” he said. “We just needed it and had to just take it.” Senior Dairese Gary had a game-high 24 points but was put up to the task of guarding Desmar Jackson, one of the Cowboys’ best players. Jackson finished with 15 points. Alford said that Dairese played superb

defense, but his teammates didn’t lend much support on the defensive side. “Dairese does that,” Alford said. “He competes at both ends and he understands that. We just have to get more guys on our team to understand that there are two ends of the floor. What you do at the offensive end matters a lot and what you do on the defensive end means a lot.” Gary said the Lobos just made boneheaded plays against Wyoming. “We played hard but our energy level wasn’t where we needed it to win that game,” he said. “I think we are a good team. We just have to limit the mistakes and come and bring it every game. You know, you have to play every play like it’s your last, and I don’t think that is where we are right now. I think we’re going to get there, but it has to come quick.” But the Lobos can’t dwell on the loss. They must prepare for back-to-back home games this week. The Lobos will host Colorado State on Wednesday and face No. 6 ranked San Diego State on Saturday. “We think every week and every game is a must-win,” Alford said. “We prepared as hard as we can, and we will do as much as we can to get better.”

The Pit

Back in mid-December, after a blowout win at home against Longwood, head coach Steve Alford said, “We now go the better part of the month with the only class being basketball.” Now basketball school is over, and the UNM men’s basketball team passed. Barely. With regular classes beginning soon, the Lobos should be happy to be back in the classroom after struggling in an intercession course. Per usual, they won the gimme games (Longwood, the Citadel and Cal State Bakersfield). They outplayed a pesky Colorado team at a neutral site in Las Vegas and survived with a onepoint victory at Texas Tech. They fought scrappy in close losses to Northern Iowa and Dayton, two games that highlighted the team’s youth and inexperience. But the Lobos’ most recent loss at Wyoming snapped UNM’s 14-game conference winning streak. Most importantly, it left the Lobos looking up from the Mountain West cellar, a familiar position for the football team, but a spot no Alford team at UNM has held. So what lessons should the Lobos take from their break? First off, Dairese Gary cannot win a game by himself. The fact that no other Lobo reached double digits marred the senior’s 24-point performance against Wyoming. Granted, the Lobos lost after a miracle last-second shot, but Wyoming was allowed multiple attempts because no one in cherry could grab a rebound. The Lobos’ offense rests on Gary’s shoulders. So does its defense. Although Gary is proving he can handle the pressure and the intense physical toll, the Lobos are better when Phillip McDonald’s shot drops, Kendall Williams runs in transition, A.J.

Hardeman and Alex Kirk control the paint, and the bench provides solid support. Basically, all the Lobos need is to show up for class and pay attention. Second, Drew Gordon is a work in progress. The UCLA transfer provided a solid contribution to the team (9 points and 7 boards) but he has not arrived as the dominating force fans expected. Well at least not yet. He said he was shaking before walking down the ramp against the Citadel, his first game in more than a year and a half. Fans need to be patient and not expect Gordon to lead the Lobos. Rather, he will quietly earn his grade from the back of the class. Lastly, UNM is not the most physically gifted team in the Mountain West Conference. San Diego State, BYU and UNLV are clearly the best in the league. The Lobos were making a solid case early in the season that they belonged in the discussion, but they were impressive against a schedule with a combined 58-73 record. During their current stretch, the Lobos were 4-3 against what is arguably the toughest part of their schedule. Against Northern Iowa, UNM’s transition defense was slow. It gave up too many open 3s and better shooters victimized the defense. Fortunately for UNM, it comes back to The Pit’s friendly confines to take on Colorado State, a team that beat Wyoming but hasn’t won a game in Albuquerque since before Tony Snell was born. UNM’s first true test is Saturday when sixth-ranked San Diego State flies in for the first big game in the new Pit. If the Lobos want to have any chance to win another conference championship and make a postseason run, they better guzzle some coffee and study hard. The turnaround is quick. Class is back in session.
