demolish old dorms by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu
The Board of Regents approved a housing plan in December that calls for the demolition of a dorm building, two Student Residence Center apartment buildings, a parking lot, two tennis courts and part of lower Johnson Field. Lobo Development’s approved “strategic housing plan” allows for building materials to be developed, Real Estate Director Kim Murphy said, and used by American Campus Communities, a private company charged with the campus construction. “ACC has prepared what’s called the preliminary materials, which is really the development proposal for the first phase,” he said. “We received that (Jan. 3), and it’s still under review.” The first phase involves the removal of Santa Ana Hall, the parking lot north of it and two buildings

Speakers at Sunday’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rally reminded guests about the Tucson shooting and how continuing to preach King’s message of peace is important. In his speech, Mayor Richard Berry stressed helping others. “Such tragedy can bring out the best in us and the worst in us, as we struggle to make sense of such senseless acts,” he said. “Take a little time to be of service. Read to a child. Provide a coat to someone who is cold.” Hundreds congregated at University

Ben Ray Lujan said King’s message of peace is relevant after the Tucson shooting, which left six people dead and injured Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. “In the wake of the Arizona tragedy, let us recommit ourselves to achieving the fulfillment of Dr. King’s message,” he said. “Let us to continue to strive to make America what it ought to be.”

The Board of Regents welcomed President David Schmidly back to work during its Jan. 11 meeting before discussing the University’s financial state and its Athletics Department. As 2011 begins, pending 2010 financial reports show the largest deficit exists in Athletics. GPSA president Lissa Knudsen said that is unacceptable. “It’s very disturbing, and we want to know what the plan is,” she said. “How are they going to stop this hemorrhaging of resources, especially in times like these ... We need to be focused on academics.” A “consolidated financial report” for the first one-third of the year, July-October, lists an Athletics deficit of more than $3.1 million. The report says Athletics’ “unfavorable net margin” is the result from the timing of football expense versus football revenue, and expected football revenue will not meet the budgeted level. Ava Lovell, vice president for finance, said that revenue from the rest of the football season still needs to be booked, as well as funds from the Mountain West bowl games and basketball season. The report says basketball revenue should offset debt payments on UNM bonds used to fund the renovation of The Pit, and that Pit revenue will be closely monitored.
“Our basketball always does help us balance out these books,” she said. Knudsen said basketball revenue should help the struggling department, but in years past, it hasn’t been enough. “Potentially, basketball can bring in more money than football,” she said. “It seems to have done that in the last couple of years, but it hasn’t made back enough.” Athletics, however, is not the only area struggling financially. UNM’s golf course has a nearly $200,000 deficit, according to the report. Other areas showing deficits include student aid, public events and ticketing services, but Lovell said revenue in those areas is typically made in the spring. Despite significant deficits in Athletics and other areas, the University’s general fund was almost $47 million favorable because of tuition being recorded on a semester basis, rather than a monthly basis. Other meeting items: A Lobo Energy “energy conservation presentation” showed that UNM’s efforts to reduce energy consumption over the past decade have resulted in a 30 percent reduction in energy density and made for $4.1 million in avoided costs. The regents approved funds for emergency repairs to chemistry buildings and labs. The regents approved nominations to the hospital Board of Trustees.

LETTER Compassion is always more important than competition Editor,
How to one-up a one-upper by Jenny Gignac
We, human beings, have the capability of maturing beyond the concept that life is all about competing with each other in the effort to establish who among us is best, to the concept that life is all about cooperating compassionately with each other, to determine what is best for us all, and then, cooperatively, and compassionately, manifesting that which is best for us all. The truth, today, is that we individually and collectively are making the choice every moment of every day whether to continue to divide or to begin cooperating to find unity. From my sphere of reality, that leaves one question unanswered: Will we allow ourselves to mature to the degree that we are able to live by and manifest the cooperation concept, or will we do ourselves in by continuing to compete in the absurd game of trying to establish who is best? Future history books will record which path we chose. Robert Gardiner Community member

Long live the one-upper. I am attaching myself to this mantra so I can avoid future frustration with my friend who always does it better than me, or anyone else in his earshot. “I have three dogs, and man, they can eat a 40-pound bag of dog food a week,” I say. “Well, I have four dogs, and I had to take out a loan last month just to feed them,” he says. If I have any money, he has more. If I have a good time, he has a great time. If I take 12 hours a semester, he takes 18 and works three jobs. What is the fascination
with one-upping? I wonder if he even hears what I am saying, or just spends the time thinking of how he can possibly outdo anything I am about to say. It must come from a lack of attention as a child. Maybe these people weren’t breastfed? Urban Dictionary defines the one-upper as “an annoying person who responds to hearing someone else’s experience or problem by immediately telling a similar story about themselves with a much more fantastic (or terrible) outcome.” There are multitude of ways to handle the one-upper. Here are a few suggestions: Move the conversation to fairness, rather than topics inciting competitive responses. If you deal with a food fanatic who is constantly eating
at better and more expensive places, offer them the choice of eatery next time. If you have a one-upper who is always dealing with more tragedy than anyone else, offer condolences and then change the subject. The key is to remember that the oneupper isn’t trying to convince the whole world; he is trying to convince himself. Before I tell my favorite one-upper, “up yours,” I try to find a little compassion, determine how important the friendship is to me and then exercise the patience I need to get through being one-upped — again. The cost generally outweighs the benefits, and besides, he knows someone who is much worse when it comes to one-upping than he is.
LETTER A polarized nation should look to unite, not divide Editor, The recent Arizona shootings exposed what a truly sick, misguided nation we live in. We are addicted to violence and destruction, and we celebrate that fact every day. Our two pointless, never-ending wars (and the ensuing costs) aren’t even newsworthy anymore. We worship death and destruction, and all of us are responsible for the culture we have created. Bigotry, racism and intolerance are increasingly becoming the norm. Hate-mongers like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly are successfully turning Americans against each other, in search of new enemies to attack and humiliate, while inciting their followers to violently resist anyone who disagrees with their hate philosophy. Since President Obama was “elected,” public discourse has consistently been stifled by the purveyors of ignorance who consider anyone who disagrees with their paranoid
fantasies or has different opinions as “enemies of the state.” They don’t want to respectfully disagree or debate with their opponents; they want them killed. Their targets are labeled “traitors,” and “Hitler” (or worse) who must be stopped at all costs. The right-wing pundits constantly provoke followers to rid the country of liberals and socialists in order to save us from destruction. Death threats have now taken the place of rational debate. I knew the loonies would come out of the woodwork once Obama was installed as president, but even I am shocked at how quickly and to what extent this mass psychosis has gripped our nation. I’m disgusted. Many citizens appear to be irrational, violent lunatics ready to go on a killing spree at the drop of a hat. The rhetoric of the extreme right has invigorated huge swaths of the already-unhinged populace to the point where this country is virtually at war with itself. Divide and conquer — works every time! I mean, what other nation on Earth supports a major political party whose No. 1 goal is to deny half of its own
citizens the basic human right to affordable healthcare? That is pure evil. There’s no other way to put it, and this kind of irrational hatred of our fellow, less-fortunate citizens is truly a sign of a profound national sickness. These are Americans for God’s sake, not terrorists. To these scumbags, compassion should only be shown to the ultra-rich (as if they need it). I’m sorry, but when we start blaming the poor and downtrodden for our nation’s problems, we have a serious disconnect from reality. And when the GOP leadership can decide that repealing Obama’s meager overhaul of our pathetic health-care system and denying millions of Americans access to health care is a viable political platform and people actually support it, we must acknowledge the fact that a large percentage of our fellow citizens are just plain evil, too. Unfortunately, what happened in Tucson, Ariz., is just the beginning of a long, downhill slide into utter chaos. Jason Darensburg UNM student

from the SRC, as well as redefining the boundaries of lower Johnson Field, according to the housing plan. The tennis courts would be removed and could be relocated, the plan says. Phase I would add nearly 1,000 beds to main campus and is projected to be completed by August 2012. Phase II includes the demolition of Coronado Hall, which will be replaced by a “residential community� consisting of another 1,000 beds, a large community center and new dining hall. Phase III “requires Alvarado and Onate Halls and La Posada Dining Hall be demolished. In their place would be a new residential community with 1,100 beds,� according to the report. The plan assumes a fall 2013 delivery for both phase II and III, but says Phase III may be delayed. Murphy said Lobo Development and ACC will work on the plans this
week and will present them in a forum in late January. He said Lobo Development will also hold a special regents meeting in February to discuss the plans. Lobo Development presented its first financial audit to the regents Jan. 11, which showed its operating expenses increased more than $700,000 this year. Regent Gene Gallegos questioned the expense. Murphy said UNM finances Lobo Development, but that most of the expenses will be reimbursed by ACC. Steven Beffort, Lobo Developent’s treasurer, said most of the cost was associated with Lobo Village. “The bulk of that was spent for (south campus Housing), but there were other costs in relation to other projects that we’re working on,� he said. “South campus, as well as other parts of the campus, that are upfront costs prior to receiving any income.�

Scholarships may be reduced Budget cuts potentially leads to fewer NMS funds by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Anticipating a $28 million cut in state funding for next year’s budget, UNM administrators discussed how it will affect National Merit Scholarship offers. President David Schmidly said no decision or recommendation has been made, but UNM officials alerted the Division of Enrollment Management so it can plan to potentially scale back NMS offers to brace for the expected budget. He said final decisions about scholarship offers will be made no earlier than April. “We have to manage within the resources we have, and in an uncertain resource environment where you don’t know for sure what your resources are, you’ve got to be prudent,� he said. “You’ve got to be practical, and that’s all we’re trying to do here.� Offered scholarships will likely decrease according to budget projections, and Schmidly said cuts are being made in areas detailed in
the President’s Strategic Advisory Team budget report, with the exception of scholarship funding. He said the University just isn’t adding to the fund like in years past. In 2008, the administration stepped up scholarship efforts, granting National Scholars a fullride scholarship to create an image of prestige to attract top students. Since then, National Scholars increased from 14 in 2007 to 132 in 2009, a University spokeswoman said. Terry Babbitt, associate vice president for enrollment, said the decision was made before the recession was in full swing. “Our quick and substantial success in recruiting top merit students is requiring us to make some adjustments that will result in some reductions of new student awards,� he said. The projected shortfall will prevent the University from offering all incoming National Scholars a full-ride scholarship. In-state National Merit Scholars are guaranteed the scholarship and some outof-state scholars will receive it. The University will not be able to grant National Hispanic, National African-American, National American Indian and National Achievement
Scholars a full-ride scholarship, with the exception of finalists from each category, because they become automatically eligible for the National Merit Scholarship, Babbitt said. These limitations have not stopped recruiters from trying to attract top students, and Schmidly said National Merit Scholars will make UNM a well-respected university. “The better the students at the University, most people equate that with the reputation of the University, so the better the student body we can get here to study, then the better the University is, the better the diploma is and the better-off you are,� he said. The same scholarship fund that supports financial awards for merit-based students contributes to aiding need-based students, Babbitt said. He said the administration will continue recruiting, but is discussing changes to the meritbased offer. “Certainly, our commitment to recruiting top performers such as National Scholars is unwavering, so we will continue with this priority but with adjustments to maintain a balance of need-based and meritbased support,� he said.

Teachers: Budget cuts hurt education by Tricia Remark tremark@unm.edu
New Mexico teachers flocked to the Roundhouse on Monday with a clear message: Cutting education funding won’t hurt teachers as much is it will hurt students. The American Federation of Teachers rallied at the Capitol building in Santa Fe. More than 400 people attended. Donna Swanson, a CNM developmental math and English teacher, said budget cuts to education, especially higher education, will diminish students’ quality of learning. “In higher education all over the country, faculty have been cut to part-time teachers,” she said. “Tenured faculty are being replaced by part-time faculty who only get paid $20,000 a year.” Swanson said she wants lawmakers to be wary of cutting developmental programs, and she said Gov. Susana Martinez has already suggested doing so to help balance New Mexico’s budget. About 8,500 students are taking developmental classes at CNM, Swanson said. “I just ask that lawmakers educate themselves about what they’re talking about,” she said. Holly Trujillo, a teacher at Armijo Elementary, said testing is getting out of hand in the classroom. She said she is required to test students up to three times per week, which takes away from instructional time.
Robert Maes / Daily Lobo Protestors hold signs with Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I have a dream” quote. The protestors rallied against cuts in public education funding Monday at the State Capitol. “It’s not good for the kids,” she said.
“We’ve been cut two years running, and teachers have left the profession because of it.” ~Dave Bleicher Teacher at Rio Grande High Dave Bleicher, an English and film criticism teacher at Rio Grande High School, said large class sizes are becoming overwhelming for teachers. “We’ve been cut two years running, and teachers have left the profession because of it,” he said. “Teachers have 45 students in a classroom made for 25. I’m tired of it.”
Trujillo said she has spent more than $1,000 on supplies for her classroom because APS can’t afford any extra resources. “I work in a poor part of the city,” she said. “If anything is cut from education, my kids won’t get as much out of their education.” Bleicher said he also spends money from his salary on his classroom. “I spend my own money on supplies, but can barely keep up with the cost of living,” he said. “There is also a lack of new and up-to-date textbooks.” Jonathan Saiz, another teacher from Amijo Elementary and representative from AFT, said further budget cuts to education will result in less support staff, including physical education, music and art teachers, a cut that will be detrimental to students. “If students can’t express themselves in art or PE, their (bad) behavior in class increases,” he said.

The Science and Math Learning Center, which opens its doors today, will house four departments under one roof in hopes of getting the programs to rethink the nature of science at UNM. The $23 million, four-floor facility provides science labs and a 200-seat auditorium for the chemistry, mathematics, biology and earth and planetary sciences departments. John Geissman, earth and planetary sciences professor, said science and math disciplines are becoming more integrated and relationships between them are becoming necessary. He said the new building could facilitate that relationship. “This will foster a greater degree of — hopefully at least from the educational perspective — it will foster greater degree of interdisciplinary interest,” he said. “In that context, (it will) significantly improve the learning environment for students taking science classes, and that’s the goal of it.” Biology chair Richard Cripps said the labs in the building will be a significant upgrade. “It is the first new set of labs for our biology 124 course, which is the prenursing type biology course, so it’s the first time that we have been able to offer that in new labs for 20 or 30 years,” he said. “The labs we were using before were pretty old and outdated, so it is a really terrific upgrade for students in terms of facilities and the kind of instruction that we can do.” Deborah Sulsky, associate chair of the mathematics and statistics department, said classes are scheduled to start today in the building, but furniture in the public areas will not be fully installed until next month. The departments helped in designing effective learning environments in the building, particularly the labs, Geissman said. “The laboratories are phenomenal in my opinion, in comparison to what existed,” he said. Cripps said the learning center will enhance the relationship between the four departments. “Unfortunately, since we all have our own individual buildings, we don’t always interact across the college, because all of this is college of arts and sciences, of course,” he said. “It might help increase interactions between the different departments, and I think that will be a really great thing.”
Robert Maes / Daily Lobo Bernalillo County Deputy Barisklow loads his gear following the shooting event on Lomas Boulevard, a block south from the UNM Hospital on Jan 4. Some students were not alerted by UNMs automated messaging system following the shooting.
LoboAlert: UNM spends 35K on system by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
Each year, UNM spends more than $1 per student per year on the LoboAlerts system, even though recipients have only received the alerts twice this school year. Jeff Gilmore, a University purchasing department representative, said UNM dedicates $35,000 in its annual operating budget to maintain the emergency alert system, which was last used Jan. 4 after a gunman allegedly fired a shot into the sixth floor ceiling of the UNM Hospital pediatric unit. LoboAlerts was implemented during the fall 2010 in an effort to reach more students in the case of an emergency. The previous service, TextMe, was an opt-in system, meaning UNM members could receive an alert if they signed up. The current system automatically signs up anyone with a banner ID for email alerts, but staff, faculty and students can opt out. UNM bought the emergency system from a California company.
Gilmore said the University spent nearly $50,000 on the initial start-up costs and is now in a fixed contract, including the $35,000 annual fee, with SunGuard to maintain the operating system. Byron Piatt, emergency operations manager, said the system will be faster if more people sign up to use the LoboAlerts system. “We are going to start a campaign to inform students, faculty and staff that they should enter a cell phone number in the banner system in order to receive text alerts,” he said. Besides text messages, LoboAlerts sends subscribers emails, Twitter updates and hosts a website. University officials will undergo after-action reviews to ensure future response is more efficient. President David Schmidly made LoboAlerts one of his priorities when he took over in 2007. “All of this ultimately falls into my lap,” he said in an earlier interview. “If there’s a major incident on campus. You’re looking at who’s going to be held accountable.”

“The Reptilian Lounge” is simply the best on-going theater event in town. It’s also unique. The lounge has been around since 1996, serving as a rotating, always-fresh, always-hysterical, latenight cabaret. Everything is within the realm of possibility at the lounge. Belly dancing, stand-up, original sketches, live music, maybe a little burlesque — the list goes on and on. Add beer on tap (and various other drinks) from the local Tractor Brewing Company, and the resulting “Awesome!” is pretty clear. The crowd is filled with people familiar with the bawdy, interactive formula, and the wit and ease of the emcees brings the newbie right into the heart. It’s like watching an oldschool Shakespeare play, hanging with the groundlings — and without the pretension. The Filling Station on south Fourth Street hosts the event. It’s best to come early. The venue is small, and people will stand in line. Many are turned away. But it is worth every second in the cold. The show is cheap — it costs $7.77. The purpose of the curious, uneven price is the plastic cup holding your change. Between acts, you’re visited by Target Girl, a shimmying, sexy mark for your coins and tip for whatever performance you just saw. You’ll drink socials with the audience and performers and listen to
a live band, maybe with their No. 1 fan. Every time the lounge is revived, it brings hilarious content and a special kind of humanity. It’s like a party, a performance and an inside joke you’ve always wanted to be a part of all in one. This new lounge is no different. With the Revolutions International Theatre Festival going on, it’s the best way for out-of-towners to get a real appreciation of how Albuquerque can laugh, perform and entertain. And the Reptilian Lounge is just scratching the surface. It’s so haphazard and messy that it’s impossible not to love. You’ll want to keep coming back to see the elements you miss and love everything that’s new and stupefying. You’ll shout and laugh and drink and cheer. The women are beautiful, the beer is delicious and the laughs are numerous.

The VSA North Fourth Art Center hosted the performance, with UNM’s Tricklock Company initiating the festival and its events. Upon entering the space and taking your seat, you’re greeted by a raised platform with a body wrapped in a blood-stained funeral shawl. Black strips attached in the back center of the platform fan out in a peacock pattern, each secured along the ceiling. Once it begins, the lights dim, slow, booming drumming echoes, and a tall, male figure shoots up to tower and stares seriously around the audience. He leaves

silently and dramatically, and in the lighting transition, you get introduced to the denominated maids themselves. They’re dressed a little on the slave side, with wrapped fabrics and loin clothes, but fancy boots. The lights crack back on flashing with sudden, avant-garde music blasting as the maids stomp back and forth in a weird fashion show. As the maids interaction continues silently, you get the impression that you’re watching more of a dance than a play, or maybe something even more generally named, like “performance art.” It becomes something mixed and blurred to the point where trying to define it doesn’t even matter anymore. Without language, art is still art, and certainly running themes are being pulled out and identified, things like power, death and sex. Lots and lots of sex. During the fashion show, the maids make out for a bit, then go back to stomping around. Props fly in from offstage, and the maids will greedily snatch them up and fight over them. One will dominate or threaten another, and their struggles turn slowly sexy. That’s when the male figure returns and walks around, eyeing the maids unblinkingly. He’s dressed in all black, with a flowing cape and do-rag and heavy, almost raccoonish eye-makeup. He’s like a weird, goth Zorro, and the maids stop their various sex

“Eclectic” is not a strong enough word to describe the mix of people and exhibits found at the Albuquerque Comic Con. “Freakin’ weird” comes a little closer to an accurate description. For example, one booth hawked “The Shirt of Infinite Bacon,” a blue shirt featuring an infinity symbol made out of, yes, bacon. A large sign next to the booth proudly proclaims the shirt is “Featured on seven of the top 10 bacon blogs!” The Comic Con was held at the Hilton Albuquerque Hotel on University Boulevard on Saturday and Sunday. According to its website, it was “New Mexico’s first full-blown comic convention since 1997.” And it seemed like people had been saving up the weirdest stuff they had for the last 14 years, waiting for an opportunity to sell it in a forum where it could mix in with lots of other equally weird stuff. A booth sold a “Racial Toons” DVD (“Featuring the Censored 11!”), full of old-school, racially insensitive Bugs Bunny and Mighty Mouse cartoons.

is actually farther away than where Superman came from, Krypton,” she said. “So way out there, it’s a long way to travel. But my planet is at war, a ferocious war between the claws and the paws, and I’m from the paws, so I always wear my little paw symbol.” Reassuringly, LeRoy finished her story by adding, “That’s my comicbook story, so I fit in with the comicbook theme.”
“What if we portrayed what teenagers really did, which was take a lot of drugs and have sex?”
“We got started in Santa Fe. There were a bunch of us that would meet at True Believers Comics. … We said, ‘We should get started. We should do a collective and do anthologies, and really showcase comic book art,’ ‘cause we all love comics, and we all love making them,” he said. “Most of the people that are producing the work, selling at the show today, have day jobs. There’s only one member that is a full-time artist.”
see Comic Con next page Larry Welz, author of “Cherry,” sits at a booth featuring his work.
There was also a gray-haired couple selling pornographic comics. Larry Welz, creator of the “Cherry” comic series, said his idea was to parody Archie-style teen comics. “It’s a parody of a whole genre, the genre of teen comics. At the time I started, every company was coming out with its own version of Archie,” he said. “They’re drawn a certain way, the eyes are done a certain way. I thought it would be funny, given the underground days when we realized we could do whatever we want. What if we portrayed what teenagers really did, which was take a lot of drugs and have sex?” And the sex in Welz’s books is extremely graphic. His wife, Sharon, doesn’t seem to mind and in fact encourages him in his work.

“He does all the work. I just hold the whip,” she said, in a seemingly unintentional allusion to “Cherry’s” adult subject matter. There were some less-surreal moments to be found at the Comic Con. An Albuquerque-based comics company, 7000 BC, had a booth prominently featured near the entrance to the convention. The company’s vice president, Peter Ziomek, said the group got its start as a bunch of friends in Santa Fe who decided to make comics together.
~ Larry Welz Another booth sold replicas of the shoes Heath Ledger wore as the Joker in “The Dark Knight,” and a third featured a Boba Fett costume, sold piece by piece. What one would do with only the left shoulder-pad to a Boba Fett outfit remains a mystery. But it wasn’t just the products that were strange. Mary Ann LeRoy runs the Longtail Art Studio in Rio Rancho, a business that sells portraits of pets. LeRoy, her face painted with cat whiskers and wearing turquoise-colored cat ears, approached potential customers by explaining that she was not born on Earth. “I’m on this planet because I had to escape my original home planet, which is farther away than far, far away, which

Comic Con

Emma Difani/ Daily Lobo Comic Con festival attendees sift through comic books Saturday. The convention featured works by comic authors and illustrators from across the world.
The group features several highschool students and a few artists who attend UNM, Ziomek said. He said aspiring comic-book artists can join 7000 BC and pay $5-a-month dues, which will allow them to have their comics published in 7000 BC’s anthology. “If you don’t have the budget to publish your own books, the $5 actually goes toward producing ‘String,’ which is our monthly anthology,” he said. “And that’s something that a high-school student or a college student or anybody can refer to somebody at a store, and try to have their comics at a store. And it’s something you can have on an online reference.” Ziomek said he encourages people to try their hand at comics, even if they don’t have prior experience as artists. “We have people that are getting into comics for the first time and might be in their 30s or 40s,” he said. The Comic Con also featured at least one heartwarming moment, which occurred during a contest to design a cover for a new “Boondock Saints” comic book. “Boondock Saints” star Sean Patrick Flanery emceed the competition and began asking the audience to vote on their favorite cover when a late entry made its way to the table. Flanery saw the illustration, a black-and-white drawing of the film’s heavily armed main characters in a rainstorm, and immediately declared “Oh, that’s No. 1.” The drawing, of course, won handily in the audience vote. The illustration’s creator (and UNM graduate), Jared Velardo, said he spent roughly 10 hours producing the drawing and was duly rewarded with Flanery’s praise. “As the star of the movie told me that it was the best piece, that this captures the essence or whatever, that was worth it,” he said.

games to tremble in fear, helped along by a sudden music change. Maybe it was that he looked like some kind of queer superhero, or the total seriousness of his theatrical pacing, but his every entrance just seemed funny. The musical transitions helped the scenes along, and the maids got a new prop to mess with — a packet of papers, a massive hot balloon canvas or a bed frame. They fought each other, for or with their props, and then usually ended up humping things. Then Zorro came back and walked around dramatically. If he got really angry, his theme song would play — the craziest of the crazy music, and the only song (other than the slow drum beats) that really played more than once. He also might manhandle the maids a bit before sauntering away. And then back to the maids dancing, fighting, and maybe a bit of humping before Zorro’s inevitable return. Repeat. So what’s the point, you might ask. Well, imagine it’s a bit like a David Lynch film, where every scene, character and situation is from everywhere, too dream-like and surreal to be completely pants-onhead nutzo. You’re playing with light and sound, images and moments. Sure, there were some Armenian chicks making out, and the ghost of Inigo Montoya making his angry face, but it’s really a structure of twinkling flashes of emotion from one instant to another. This really kicked into high gear
in the climax, where women strip down to their underwear, the fan of straps are unleashed into a spider web of black ribbons, and the platform literally opens with trap doors in the top. The maids are murdered and held underwater, with more straying water than the splash zone at Sea World from the hidden pool contained within the platform. Then Blacula entombed the maids by shutting them inside. You don’t really see it coming. Sometimes it’s hard to find value in something so abstract that the entire point is simple provocation. But art is intended to evoke an emotional response, and that response is always personal. Revolutions has much more to offer in the realm of new art and performance, and with it all practically dropped on your doorstep, it would be hard to excuse yourself from experiencing it.

Jets need to honor dead with win by Ryan Tomari
rtomari@unm.edu If only for Staten Island’s own Raymond Larsen, the New York Jets must win the Super Bowl. Larsen, a 46-year-old Jets fan celebrated New York’s victory over the No. 1 Patriots and then collided with tragedy: He sled to his death. After the Jets escaped with a 28-21 victory to advance to next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Larsen walked outside his home on Cleveland Avenue in Great Kills and went down his driveway and toe-to-toe with something unexpected: a 2006 Hyundai SUV. He was hit by an oncoming motorist, a 61-year-old woman, police said. He died. Larsen was reportedly drinking while watching the game, but the woman behind the wheel was not under the influence. Larsen’s neighbor Amir Alishahi said Larsen was an extraordinary human being. “It’s really a big loss not having him on the block,” Alishahi said to New York reporters. “He was really a fun, fun guy.” As for the Jets, I don’t want this train to be derailed.
No matter what the New York Jets — and Minnesota Vikings — did in the 2010 NFL season, I was thoroughly entertained. First off, I am not saying New York is going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I just want to see the Jets advance. I love the drama that is the NFL playoffs. But now, I love this Jets team. If you missed any of the Jets postgame antics after their win in Foxborough, Mass., I highly recommend you YouTube “Bart Scott” or “Santonio Holmes.” Aside from the players acting like airplanes by spreading their arms out and running around like a B-52 bomber, the Jets were, well, the Jets under head coach Rex Ryan: loud and proud, just as they should be. Scott really deserves to win the NFL award for Best Supporting Actor. He yelled at ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio that the media had doubted the Jets, and that they had been disrespected. Most notably by the four-letter network, ESPN. “Especially you Tom Jackson, and way to have the Jets’ back, Keyshawn Johnson,” Scott said. Scott continued avoiding Paolantonio’s questions and referred to the victory over the Pats as “poetic justice.” Later in the one-minute interview, Paolantonio asked Scott if the Jets
played with anger against their bitter rival. “We’re pissed off,” Scott said. “(It was) for all of you non-believers. Disrespect us and talk crap about the defense like we ain’t the third best defense in the league. All we hear is about (New England’s) defense. They can’t stop a nose bleed. (They’re) 25th in the league, and we’re the ones who get disrespected.” Stunned and not knowing what to say, Paolantonio ended the awkwardness and told Scott he would see him in Pittsburgh. Scott did his best Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson impression from WWE’s Monday Night Raw and looked into the ESPN camera and screamed, “Can’t wait.” But for the head coach, Ryan deserves the NFL Oscar for the Best Director. He has been preaching it, and the Jets have backed it up. Kudos to him for loving his job, coaches and players. He also believes in his system and team. In back-to-back years, Ryan was 60 minutes away from taking the Jets to the Super Bowl appearance. I just hope Ryan will remember Larsen at that championship parade in Manhattan on Feb. 8 and give him a big “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!”

Long lands SDSU head coach gig by Ryan Tomari
sports@dailylobo.com You can take the coach out of the game, but you can’t take the game out of the coach. Two years after resigning from UNM, former head Lobo football coach Rocky Long is now in the driver’s seat at San Diego State, replacing Brady Hoke who took the Michigan job. Long said he could have take an assistant job with Hoke at Michigan, but he chose to remain at SDSU. “This is a much better deal,” Long said at his introductory news conference Wednesday. “And I’m not talking about anything about being a head coach. We’ve got things started here. They’ve got a lot of work to do there.” See the whole story online at DailyLobo.com

No. 6 Aztecs ‘intimidate,’ dominate at Pit shaun24@unm.edu
Perhaps it’s worth mentioning that against great teams and the big boys of the conference, the UNM men’s basketball team is simply mediocre. That much was proven on Saturday at The Pit. Playing at home against No. 6 San Diego State, the Lobos showed a small glimpse of brilliance but were paralyzed by missed NAU 87 opportunities and outplayed by a UNM 77 stronger, faster opponent. SDSU came into The Pit with the nation’s longest winning streak, a record the Aztecs extended to 19 after their 87-77 win. “I think this is as good a defensive team as we have played all season,” head coach Steve Alford said. “That’s what makes them scary. You have to be able to score and make some shots, but you also have to be able to defend. The do both very well.” UNM, which dropped to 13-5 overall and 1-2 in the Mountain West Conference, held a sevenpoint lead early in the game but could not keep up once the Aztecs put on their shooting specs and went on a 12-0 run. During that stretch, UNM missed five consecutive shots, en route to 29 percent first-half shooting. The Lobos improved their field goal percentage in the second half. They finished the game shooting 37 percent from the field. SDSU shot 49 percent and 52 percent from beyond the arc. “I thought our guys did a tremendous job,” Alford said. “I thought our bigs worked awfully hard inside.” Drew Gordon was brilliant for UNM. He finished with a career-high 23 points and 14 rebounds, and completed half his team’s shots in the opening half. Gordon was the go-to shooter in the paint, and for the first time this season, played up to the expectations he brought with him from UCLA. However, the Aztecs had a complete team effort, something the Lobos lacked. SDSU’s D.J. Gay electrified. He scored a career-high 30 points, including a half-court shot at the buzzer to end the first half. All seven of his made field goals came from beyond the arc. SDSU grew its lead in the second half to as much as 18. UNM came to within 10, but SDSU answered each time to maintain its lead. Dairese Gary had 23 points, and Kendall Williams joined the pair in double digits with 11. Phillip McDonald did not make a field goal

during the contest, but scored six points from the freethrow line. “Some of our younger kids got intimidated by a top-10 team,” Gordon said. “They did all right for the first time being in this type of environment, but we need to play harder. We need to execute better.”

Star’s breakout game buries bad memories by Ryan Tomari
rtomari@unm.edu Talk to San Diego State head coach Steve Fisher, and he’ll tell you that the sixth-ranked Aztecs’ most instrumental player on the floor is quickly turning into their most valuable. Senior point guard D.J. Gay had a career-high 30 points in an 87-77 win over the UNM men’s basketball team. “I’ve said it repeatedly,” Fisher said. “D.J. Gay is our most important player. I have somewhat qualified it and made him mad saying that he’s not our best player, but … he’s inching up to not being only our most important player but our best player.” Coming into the game, Gay averaged only 11.4 points per contest this season but has been a crucial puzzle piece for the 19-0 SDSU squad. And if you ask Gay, playing in The Pit brings out the best in him. Last season, in an overtime loss to UNM in Albuquerque, Gay set a career-high 25 points, but he missed a free throw that could have clinched the game for SDSU. Gay said that loss sticks with him. “You never forget having the ball in your hands to win the game and missing the shot,” he said. “I’m not going to lie. It was on my mind as we played tonight, but luckily our shot was falling, and I was able to come out here and have a great game.” And he had more than a great game Saturday. UNM head coach Steve Alford wanted the Lobos to clog the middle and stop the Aztecs’ power and finesse game. The defensive inside scheme worked for the Lobos, but it left several open perimeter shots for SDSU, with Gay cashing in more often than not. “You have got to pick your poison (with SDSU),” Alford said. Gay also got a little bit of revenge for the Aztecs. In SDSU’s 88-86 defeat last year, former Lobo Darington Hobson nailed a half-court shot at the first-half buzzer. With three seconds to go in the half on Saturday, UNM’s Philip McDonald missed a 3-point attempt. The Aztecs nabbed the rebound and Gay found himself with the ball at only half court. He let off a shot and nailed it as the buzzer sounded. “He plays with no fear and no agenda,” Fisher said. That about finished the Lobos before the second half even began. Aztec sophomore Kawhi Leonard said Gay’s long-range 3 was the spark the Aztecs needed. “It brought us great energy …,” Leonard said. “We’ve been doing that in shootarounds, and this time it just raised our spirits for the next half.” Aside from the great shot from half court, Gay had two of his best games as a college athlete at The Pit. He said it’s something about the Lobo f a i t h f u l ’s rowdiness. “I think it’s the crowd,” Gay said. “I love coming here and playing here. It’s a very great arena and crowd.”
UNM’s Drew Gordon maneuvers toward the basket at The Pit on Saturday. Gordon’s double-double was not enough, and the Lobos fell 87-77. Emma Difani/ Daily Lobo
