Senate votes in Regent Koch for another six years LEGISLATIVE SESSION
by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
Regent Jamie Koch was reappointed to a six-year term to the Board of Regents by the New Mexico state Senate by a vote of 31-5. Students, staff and faculty drove to Santa Fe to speak for and against Koch’s reappointment. Koch said his margin of victory speaks for itself. “I knew I was going to be in good shape, because the presentation I made was on accountability and that’s what the legislators wanted to hear,” he said. “It’s very humbling to
get that kind of vote with the kinds of e-mails and phone calls and all of the blasting.” Koch said his reappointment should send a message to faculty members who are still reeling after their no-confidence vote last February. “I would hope that we can all sit down together now and talk to move this University on and get away with all this negativism,” he said. “We’ve got to get away from all this vote of no confidence and this all this other stuff, because all that does is make the outside community not to happy with us.” Faculty Senate President Doug Fields said around 15 faculty members attended the confirmation hearing. Fields said he spoke out against Koch’s confirmation to another term
on the Board of Regents, because Koch hasn’t addressed faculty concerns since their no-confidence vote. “My individual concerns were that we had voted no confidence and nothing has changed really to improve our confidence in him,” he said. Fields said the faculty’s efforts toward administrative accountability did not undermine the mission of the University. “The faculty is always doing everything it can to help the University, and we will continue to do that regardless of who is in power,” he said. Regent President Raymond Sanchez said the reappointment of Koch — as well as Regent Gene Gallegos and Student Regent Emily “Cate” Wisdom by similar margins — will serve as a turning point in tough economic times.

Gene Gallegos
“I’m certainly looking forward to moving forward instead of … backward at this juncture and am hoping to start a dialogue that is meaningful and will re-establish trust and hope among all of us,” he said. Senators who voted against Koch included Dede Feldman, Cisco McSorley, Eric Griego, Jerry Ortiz Y Pino
Emily “Cate” Wisdom
and Stephen H. Fischmann. Griego, who also voted against Gallegos’ reappointment, is sponsoring a resolution encouraging the Regents to cut UNM administrative salaries. Sanchez said President Schmidly is evaluating administrative salaries. “I know that President

SUB showcases best teaching practices by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
UNM’s most effective and diverse teaching methods will be showcased Thursday in the SUB. “Sharing Best Practices: Culture and Identity” is a first-ever seminar highlighting UNM’s methods in teaching a diverse student body, said Jennifer Gomez-Chavez, director of Title V, an organization cohosting of the event.

“The whole focus of (the seminar) is to really celebrate how we recruit and retain our faculty, students and staff,” Gomez-Chavez said. She said UNM is a national leader in the area of campus diversity. “UNM serves as a national model for other universities, and they look toward UNM to figure out how they can work with their students from underrepresented populations,” she said. “The main goal of it all is that we’re going to start to document so

we can publish the best practices of our institution.” President Schmidly emphasized the importance of the seminar in his “Monday-morning message.” It is well worth the time of faculty, staff and students who want to learn more about innovative teaching methods, scholarly research and training modules used in departments,” Schmidly said in the e-mail.

If you don’t recall sending Facebook messages to your friends with links to ‘Get your best body now!’ or ‘Make money today!’ you are not alone. Online viruses have become a common problem on the social networking site Facebook. These viruses take over accounts and distribute false information. Student Amanda Aragon said she didn’t send Facebook messages to several of her friends, but they certainly received them. “My friend called me and asked, ‘What is with that message you sent me?’ and I asked what she meant,” Aragon said. “It said ‘Look at the pictures from the SAE blacklight party, click here.’ My friend couldn’t click on it because she got it on her phone, but two other friends did and both of their accounts got hacked.” Students often overlook the dangers of the Internet, said Mike Carr, UNM’s chief information security officer of Information Technology. “There are bad people on the Internet that want to steal your money and your identity — it is an unfortunate fact,” he said. “Oftentimes, people will overlook their security or not think that it is that big of a deal because it only happens to other people.” Profile infiltration can occur in a variety of ways, Carr said. “There are Facebook polls that, if

Schmidly has been asked — in fact, directed — to begin review of administrative salaries and to look at the positions that people hold. He has assured me personally that he will look at doing that. … All of the three Regents today expressed concern and all three of them agreed that we need to be more

upset with any faculty, staff,” he said. “I am concerned about our graduate students. I am concerned that they’ve gotten too political. They’re not talking about day care centers for graduates, housing for graduates. They’re more interested in getting into political-type things.”
Sanchez said transparency is crucial when dealing with high-tension issues at UNM, especially during the financial crisis. “Everybody’s got to give everybody else a little space, a little breathing room, so that we can be able to determine if in fact what each side is say-
ing is accurate, because there’s a lot of figures thrown out,” he said. “All of that has got to be explained with clarity and in an open fashion and I look forward to leading the Regents in that regard and working as closely as I can with faculty, staff, students and everybody on campus.”
now all the research indicates that some of these Chinese hackers actually became friends, or pretended to be friends with Google employees to get more information.” Facebook cleared up Aragon’s problem she said, but one of her friends was not so lucky. “They fixed it for me for me and another friend but one had to get a whole new account,” she said. “The account that was hacked into is still running. They changed her picture and made her status ‘follow the white raver.’ It was really weird.”
According to Facebook’s privacy policy, which you agree to upon creating a profile, the safety of your information is not guaranteed. “Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable,” the site’s policy states. Facebook has been pressured to tighten the security of their site, Carr said, but preventative measures should still be taken by students — especially when making passwords. “Try to segregate your online life,”
he said. “Since a lot of people use the same password for Facebook that they do for e-mail and they do for banking, if I have one password I have all your passwords.” His suggestions are cohesive with those in Facebook’s privacy policy. “You can reduce risks by using common sense security practices such as choosing a strong password, using different passwords for different services and using up-to-date anti-virus software,” the policy reads. Ultimately, common sense is the best thing you can do to protect your
privacy, Carr said. “You have to be smart about what sites you visit,” he said. “Everybody recognizes that you don’t go in certain parts of town at 3:30 in the morning, but unfortunately on the Internet, even the really bad Web sites can look really good.” Carr said that ads on the side of Web pages are especially dangerous. “We have to be smarter – so if you want to go to Macys.com, you type it in,” he said. “Don’t click on the link that claims Macy’s is giving away free shirts and blouses.”

Aragon said the hacker changed her password and her e-mail, preventing her from simply resetting the password.

FROM THE WEB In “Graduate and professional students vote no confidence in Krebs, athletics,” Pat Lohmann wrote about the online Graduate and Student Professional Association’s special election results. The story, published Friday, said graduate students passed all four ballots. Daily Lobo readers had this to say: by ‘ched macquigg’ Posted Saturday “The real win here is the vote to begin an impartial investigation. There is no legitimate agenda that does not move forward when stakeholders are privy to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the spending of their power and resources … Now we wait to see if the confrontation occurs over whether the impartial review will ever begin, people are willing to actually stand up for what they believe in.” by ‘Doc John’ Posted Saturday “No one is asking to take over the reins. They are demanding a seat at the table where decisions are being made that involve their interests. The only lunacy here is a bunch of good ol’ boys supposing that they are accountable only to each other. The effect of the independent review, if framed correctly, will be monumental.” by ‘Sick of Krebs & Locks’ Posted Saturday “Just a vote of no confidence? I say Krebs is getting off easy, he should be told to get out and take Locks with him.” by ‘thomas’ Posted Monday “Like any poll or statistic used by any large bureaucracy, it is slanted to achieve a desired result. Why a simple ‘Yes or No’ question is not sufficient continues to elude me. Take the question, ‘In the last 6 months have you ever had a bad day at work?’ The question itself is so ambiguous it’s almost funny. What constitutes a ‘bad day?’ But this is what pollsters do; they ask ambiguous questions so they can manipulate the results to the preferred outcome. A statistics professor once used this as a demonstration; Watermelons linked to drowning. It has been shown that when there is an increase in watermelon purchases, there is also an increase in the number of drownings. See, data can be manipulated to say whatever is needed to say. Although I agree with GPSA, I think their poll is very slanted, and therefore, ineffective as a measuring of opinions.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com.

Highfalutin iPads incite violence by Chris Quintana
Daily Lobo guest columnist The iPad is going to ruin humanity. For those out of the loop, the iPad is Apple’s newest product, commonly referred to as a tablet. Besides all the awful jokes emerging from the old Mad TV sketch based on Apple’s newest device, the iPad has more then just its name wrong. The iPad is yet another Apple product designed for Apple users already in love with the brand. And this product proves to be the most useless and overblown of Apple products yet. Not just that, but the new iPad will kill you. The iPad is an iPhone that can’t make phone calls, record voice, lacks a webcam and has no USB port. A lack of standard features is normal in first generation models, but, whatever, it can’t run Adobe Flash. To its credit, it does feature a larger screen, greater hard drive capacity and higher performance capabilities than the iPhone. Basically, it walks the line between a smart phone and a laptop priced at $500 to $700 based on how much hard drive you’re looking for. So, how do I see the iPad ruining your life? The cult of Steve Jobs in their zip-up hoodies and distressed jeans are chilling at Winnings and surfing the Internet for the latest gadgets and playing with novel, delectable apps on the iPad. Between sips of espresso and exaggerated Internet browsing that calls for attention, they lean over to the person closest to them and say, “Hey, have you seen this thing? Seriously, it’s like a smart phone but better.” And their fellow cult member
responds, “Yeah, man. I heard the processing on that thing is intense. It’ll be perfect for when I am not browsing on my iPhone or MacBook!.” While this behavior is fine and good in Apple hot spots, it is when this behavior spreads to non-approved Apple havens. Scenario A: Steve Jobs’ cult member with iPad in the lower floor of the SUB types on the digital keyboard, pats himself on the shoulder for his smart buy, and then leans over to the nearest person. “Hey man,” he says grasping the nearby person’s shoulder, “Look how awesome this is.” Nearby person: “Yeah, that’s kind of cool, but I have things to do.” Cult Member: “No, seriously, look at this thing, look — this app burns fat! This one will make you happy because it says so! Is that cool or what?” Nearby person: “No.” The Steve Jobs fan leaves in a huff rapidly tapping on the iPad, looking for an app that comes up with clever comebacks, but the conflict doesn’t end there. The situation is repeated a thousand times over until the non-iPad and iPad owners can’t stand the sight of each other. War erupts when the iPad begins functioning as a remote, and the Apple cult constantly changes the channel of public televisions to Fuse TV. So everyone’s pissed off, and centuries of conflict ensue and the human race ends with an atomic bomb app which is accidentally set off by an Apple fan when he meant to hit the tuning app for his acoustic guitar. It isn’t the worst way to go, and at least it’s not based on religious conflict. Thank you Apple. Maybe the iPad won’t be the start of our

apocalypse, but the issue remains, the divide between Apple users and everyone else continues to grow. Even non-Apple users can agree the products produced by the fruity company are innovative and attention grabbing. I myself had a bit of a nerd-gasm every time I saw a commercial for the iPhone — it was novel at the time. The idea of watching films, finding restaurants and then calling the restaurant with one device was unbelievable. Now it’s commonplace. The iPad fails to impress because everything it offers has been offered before and more effectively. The Kindle is already the go-to e-reader device and apps were pioneered on the iPod touch and iPhone, so the release of the iPad leaves something to be desired. I suppose one could argue for the enhanced processing on the iPad. But if a person is after processing, why not buy a laptop with faster processing and a webcam? The real question here is why do you need an unwieldy tablet that won’t fit in your pocket and can’t match the capabilities of a laptop of the same size and price? Apple is about capturing the public’s eye with cheap gimmicks that lose their novelty. Why else are the iPod Nano and Shuffle redesigned on a yearly basis? And that’s fine if the Apple users want to toss their money away into a big gaping hole that funds newer gimmicks and less practical products. How many times do you think it has to be dropped before it is broken? I am sick of hearing about the latest and greatest product from Apple, especially when that product has been done before and with greater success.

Sara Siemers, Art Studio and Photography, Senior Sara Siemers is a modern-day seamstress with a love of kimonos, alternative music and stylish wigs. The would-be fashion designer is currently working on creating a leather-studded jacket similar to one Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs sported on the cover of Spin Magazine on March 2009. In addition to her sewing skills, Siemers is a photographer, model, aspiring drummer and a black belt in tae kwon do. She works out of her basement. Daily Lobo: How did you get into sewing? How far back does this go? Sara Siemers: I’d say about early high school. My mom is a sewer, and I had the sewing machine. I picked up tips from her. I learned from her, took a class or so, and then just was attracted to costumes, like, the Lord of the Rings was the first one. DL: Which costume in Lord of the Rings? SS: Arwen’s blood-red dress. The body is black, and the sleeves were red, and I loved the long sleeves. And that was actually one that my mom made. It was the last costume my mom made for me for Halloween. And then after I took everything up and made my own stuff. DL: So what was the first costume you made for Halloween? SS: It was from King Arthur, one of Guinevere’s costumes. Her’s is very scandalous and it has two
A H L
belts over her boobs (laughs). Mine was actually a top, but I made the pants, and all the belts were strung together. DL: You say you draw inspiration from Karen O, and Lady Gaga. What about their style appeals to you? SS: It’s just different. Gaga wears leotards and that’s completely different. They are putting a performance with the clothes into their musical element instead of just wearing a tshirt on stage. It attracts me. DL: What was it like to see a costume coming together for you the first time? SS: I think it’s really amazing. I remember, because I was just a beginner, after a few stitches are done you’re just like, “Oh wow these are pants now, they look like pants instead of just, like, a flat piece of fabric.” DL: Every artist turns nothing into something, but what you do seems to be even more transformational. You take these large, unshapen pieces of cloth and turn them into clothes. SS: It starts out with a pattern. I try to find a pattern that looks like the shape of the dress or the jacket or the pants, and then I just put it together and conform it to where it looks like the costume should be. So, basically, where I was starting to learn about the sewing was in flat patterns. You just put them on the fabric and hope they come out properly. I also have style wigs that go with the costume. DL: Really? What do you feel that adds to the creation? SS: To me, they go along with the

costume. To me it’s more of a character thing. The costume couldn’t go along without the wig, I think. DL: How do you deal when the pattern doesn’t come out right? SS: I don’t think I have one piece that I am 100 percent happy with. Sometimes I have to come back after I wear it once. Then I see these flaws (that) I have to come back to it. DL: So how often do wear the clothing that you make? SS: Usually when I go to California, which is once or twice a year, then I have at least two or three new costumes or designs that I put together. DL: So what is sewing to you now? When you started it seemed to be about Halloween costumes but how has that changed? SS: Now it’s more of a … hobby, something that I really enjoy, maybe
even I would think of it as a job later. If I can get into it that’s what I would like to do. I’d like to find a model I could design for. DL: What do you do during the process of creating a piece? SS: Usually I just listen to music, but with hand sewing and pushing in the studs, I have been watching movies lately. DL: What kind of movies do you watch? SS: Lately, I’ve been on a Jeff Goldblum kick. I’ve been watching a crapload of Jeff Goldblum movies. And then for some of the studs the whole back of the jacket was season one of Gossip Girl (laughs) and some of the sides were Robot Chicken episodes. DL: So when do you work on your sewing? SS: Sometimes when I am really bored and there’s nothing to do, I’ll
find myself coming down here (to my studio). And then other times when I have two weeks, three weeks before I am actually heading out to California, I’m like, “Oh crap, I should actually get down here and make it so that I can actually have something finished before I fly out.” So that’s a good motivator. It’s just whenever I have free time. DL: You said that you like to model your costumes for friends in photo shoots, tell me what that’s like for you? SS: It’s so much fun. I’d really love to make a costume, outfit, design, whatever, and then wear it, model it off, and then sell it. I think that’d be an awesome job. DL: Would that be your dream job? SS: Yes, for sure!

Playing games is common in dating. And online dating is a whole other playing field. Lauren Greenwald, a student in the group art show “Fun and Games” said online dating sites give people an opportunity to play themselves up. And she wanted to capture those games in photographs. There are also photographs of balloons, horses and intimacy, and an interactive video demonstration. See for yourself in the John Sommers Gallery. The opening reception is on Friday at 6. “It’s like the guy who gives his list of his favorite books and says he’s read all this and really he’s taken it from a list of whatever books he can find online,” she said. “It’s like bloggers ... Once they’re behind their computer screen they seem like such fascinating people. Then you meet them in person and they’re absolutely nothing like

“Fun and Games”
After moving to Albuquerque to start her Master’s degree, Greenwald said some friends encouraged her to sign up on some dating sites. “In receiving winks or messages or whatever they do on these sites, I started thinking about how we play games in dating and how we construct these personas and personalities online for all of these things,” she said. “I was drawing on that and a desire to do something a little more lighthearted.” Greenwald read headlines people used to describe themselves from online dating sites and wrote the most silly and sad ones on the back, chest and arm of her friend. “I came up with the idea of these anonymous male forms with all of these taglines and how (men on dating sites are) expressing themselves,” Greenwald said. “These guys are picking a sentence to express themselves … I took all of the people who contacted me on these sites (and) I looked at what they wrote about themselves and copied down these little headlines.”
