what he’s done for the paper, for the community,” Holm said. “So often in newspaper work, you file your reports every day, and you don’t have a real clear sense of who’s reading it, or how widely it’s read, and out there you get a real clear picture of that.” Now, without further delay, the Daily Lobo is proud to present M.E.

Students might not know that the 100 tall, blue columns around campus house emergency phones. When the red button on the column is pressed, the phone connects directly to UNM Police Department. There are more than 200 emergency phones not in columns on North, Main and South campus. Vanessa Baca, communication specialist for Information Technologies, said most calls received are either mistakes or from students feeling uncomfortable at night. “The majority of the calls from all of the phones on main campus are people calling for escorts, like people calling for escorts to their cars after dark from classrooms, or students who need somebody to walk with them to and from the dorms,” she said. “They definitely give students a feeling of security.” IT is currently working on a map of all emergency phones on campus, which should be available in February, Baca said. The map, which will be posted on the IT Web site, will help students locate hardto-find phones, including those on the sides of buildings, in dorms and in elevators, she said. Segura said he has only thought about using the emergency phone one time when he was concerned for the safety of others. “There were some transients here bothering some other people and I thought, ‘If they get a little bit rowdy, I might just go and press the thing and have somebody else come and deal with them,’” Segura said.

Santa Rosa paper owner advocates local press by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
M.E. Sprengelmeyer may be the hardest-working newspaper man on the planet, a man described in a recent New York Times profile as working “to the brink of exhaustion, fueling late-night production sessions with nicotine and caffeinated energy drinks.” Sprengelmeyer owns the weekly Guadalupe County Communicator, based in Santa Rosa. Besides handling the business decisions, he
works as a reporter and page designer, and even picks the papers up from the printers in Clovis — about a three-hour round trip. Sprengelmeyer grew up in Albuquerque, and worked various newspaper jobs in Albuquerque before settling at the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, where he covered national politics from Washington, D.C. When the paper shut down, Sprengelmeyer went on the hunt for a small-town paper to buy, and discovered one two hours from his hometown.
On Monday, Sprengelmeyer celebrated his six month anniversary as the paper’s owner. Mark Holm, a Communicator contributor, said Sprengelmeyer’s newspaper has revitalized Santa Rosa and serves as an example of the enduring need for newspapers, especially in small towns. “Generally speaking, when I go out there, which is about once a week on average, it almost always happens that people will approach us. … They come out of their way to tell him how much they appreciate
UNM looks to raise admissions standards
Standardized tests may carry less weight by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
New Mexico high school students might consider buckling down on their day-to-day schoolwork instead of putting all of their college admission eggs into the standardized test basket. On Wednesday, the Student Affairs Committee from the Board of Regents approved a redesigned admissions process that emphasizes high school GPA, additional

college preparatory courses and a new grade-point average weighting system. High school GPA is the largest indicator of collegiate success, said Terry Babbitt, associate vice president of Enrollment Management. By emphasizing grades over ACT and SAT scores, for example, UNM students are more likely to succeed throughout college, he said. “We are trying to address retention and the graduation rate issue through the things that have a longer term impact on staying power and graduating on time — having to do more with the core of what students learn in high school, the
curriculum, content and number of units they take in those areas,” Babbitt said. The new standards still have to be approved by the Board of Regents. The University cannot ignore the importance that standardized tests have for funding and rating purposes, said Maria Probasco, UNM Parent Association President. “The reality is we are tested nationally,” she said. “You have students in high school getting our advertising saying ‘UNM is de-emphasizing test scores.’ We have to

If the regents pass the admissions standards, they will be implemented gradually over the next few years. High school seniors currently have to achieve at least a 2.3 GPA, 13 college preparatory units or a high enough ACT or SAT score, according to the UNM admissions Web site. The proposed admission

standards will increase to include a 2.5 GPA and 16 high school class credits including an additional math, social science and science class, said Terry Babbitt, associate vice president of Enrollment Management. Over a three-year period, UNM will encourage high school seniors to increase their GPAs and course loads incrementally. High school seniors in 2011 will need to graduate with a 2.3 GPA and an additional social science class. The next graduating class will need a 2.4 GPA with an extra science class, and in

think, ‘Is that something we want to be promoting?” Babbitt said test scores will not be completely disregarded, but the decreased importance placed on them will allow UNM to reach a broader base of New Mexico students. “Our population has test score challenges,” he said. “I think it is the right thing to do take the population with English as a Second Language components and cultural issues. We have always had a de-emphasis on test scores here at UNM and this continues to support that aspect. Test scores have a lot of deficiencies and we continue to have this proposal emphasize high school performance. Something that we think all our students can achieve versus a test score.”
Standards
Thursday, February 4, 2010 / Page 3
Holding New Mexico students to higher standards from the get-go will supplement the University’s academic environment, said Carolyn Abeita, chair of the Student Affairs Committee. “It’s human nature to take the path of least resistance. Teenagers will take the path of the least work,” she said. “We have to tell our students in the state of New Mexico, ‘You can do this. You are expected to do this because this will help you in the long run. This will help the University.’ This will help the state because it makes students more prepared for higher education and create opportunities for them.” A weighted GPA system will alleviate concerns about the varying grading standards of Albuquerque
schools, Babbitt said. “We propose a weighted scale that will give students incentive to take more rigorous courses,” he said. “Schools are different, grades are different, scales are different. Standards are different from school to school. If we apply it ourselves, we establish the standards.” The standards’ gradual implementation is necessary to make sure they stick, Abeita said. “You can raise the bar higher, but it’s like an athletic event. You don’t just go and jump over that bar. You have to start at a lower level and work up,” she said. “If you don’t set that bar high — you don’t set the expectations for our children — then, you know, we’re human and we do what we are told.”
said. But, the admissions office will offer a waiver for those students until their schools find a way to implement the requirements, he said. One of the biggest challenges that will come with the new admissions standards is alerting prospective students, high school administrations and parents, he said. “We should get them early because there is still time for high school classes that start next fall,
and then the sequence would roll down with each class until the full effect in 2013,” he said. In order to effectively communicate these changes, representatives from Enrollment Management have proposed starting a massive e-mail campaign by April to target 2011 high school graduates, high school administration and even 2012 graduates and parents.

fall 2013, students must have a 2.5 GPA with another math class. Social science classes are more prevalent in New Mexico high schools than other classes, Babbitt said, which is why they are required first in the tiered system. The most challenging component of the proposal is an additional upper level math class, because rural areas of New Mexico may not have enough math teachers, he

Vanessa said four to eight requests for emergency phone repairs are placed each month campus-wide. UNM Security checks all phones once per month to make sure they’re working, said Rosemary Melendrez, security supervisor. The Daily Lobo walked with Melendrez around main campus and tested six different emergency phones. All phones connected to dispatch within seven to 10 seconds. One phone north of Humanities didn’t have a working flashing light on the top of the column. Melendrez said security submits work orders for any part of the phones that have problems. Melendrez said the flashing light helps officers locate the person in distress. Charles Baca, police dispatcher, said the emergency phones usually always work.
“Most of them work that I know of,” he said. “If we do get a call from one and it’s not working, and we can’t hear the person on the other side, we automatically send an officer to go look and find out if there is somebody near that phone. It doesn’t happen very often.” One blue emergency phone on the north side of Mitchell Hall was removed during the Hall’s renovations and still hasn’t been replaced, Baca said. “The phone will be replaced — it’s just the building is still undergoing the final stages of renovations,” she said. The phone should be replaced within the next few months, she said. It is up to UNM Capital Projects to re-install the phone, she said, because they are responsible for Mitchell’s construction. There is a working phone located northeast of Mitchell.

LETTERS 9/11 an inside job, start the revolution! Editor, Wondering where the 9/11 trials should be held? Maybe it’s time to state who should be put on trial for 9/11. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, and the CIA were responsible for 9/11. Do you think we are all sheep? You would like us to believe the crap you feed us as news. Actually we are all sheep, because if we had a backbone we would be up in arms against the criminal, immoral and despicable United States government. The world knows 9/11 was an inside job. Are you the only jerks who don’t? Or are you just lying to us all, just like the government? It is time for the revolution to begin! Stan Serafin Daily Lobo reader

LETTERS Slim down, smarten up: Victor Murthy strikes again Editor, “Is there any questions?” to me is the clearest example of the ignorance that plagues the UNM campus. It is most commonly asked after student presentations, yet is incorrect: It is, “Are there any questions?” The fact that so many UNM students fail to understand and correctly use basic subject-verb agreement leads me to wonder not only how they received a high school diploma but also how they managed to be accepted into an institution of higher learning. The aforementioned example is just one of the many instances that I witness on a daily basis that have led me to conclude that even in my upper-level courses, I am surrounded by idiots. This lack of intelligence, sadly, is not even limited to the student population – it effects [sic] professors as well. For example, my business law professor once suggested that
GPSA’s special election votes have no real meaning Editor, As much coverage as the Graduate and Professional Student Association/Athletics Department issue has gotten at the Daily Lobo, it seems that close attention should have been paid to the way the graphs were labeled. What the article says and what the
France was more politically unstable than the United States because it had undergone the French Revolution (I guess he forgot about the American Revolution), and then went on to lament poor Marie Antoinette, who had been “decapitated at the young age of 19” (she was actually 37). While to some extent, our intelligence is judged by the way we look – you look rather dense when you wear flip-flops when it’s snowing, a hood over a baseball cap indoors or Crocs – appearance is not an appropriate indicator of intellect. We are rather judged by the way we express ourselves, in writing and especially in speech. In a state that is unfortunately poorer and less educated, we often tend to have a pretty blatant disregard for the fundamentals of the English language, but UNM, as one of the leading intellectual institutions of the state should not reflect that. I am not implying that UNM is teeming with stupid people. I’ve met some of the brightest and most interesting people I know on campus, but chances are if you take a random freshman and ask him or her to name a few
countries in Africa you’re going to get a blank stare in return. Pessimists may claim that it is too late to change the ways of the masses, but I disagree. While admittedly we as college students are generally formed in our ways, our habits can eventually change the way we speak and increase our intelligence as a whole. The simplest advice I would give would be to read more books. Reading something other than required reading for courses (which most of us skim through anyway) can be very fulfilling. Really! Reading increases your vocabulary, your knowledge and gives the brain some basic exercise. So please, for your own good and the good of society: Turn off Jersey Shore and pick a book off the shelf. Working out is important, but sometimes people forget to work out the most important muscle they possess: the brain. And yes, I know it’s technically an organ.
graphs portray, are two different things. So, if I am reading the graph correctly 81 percent of graduate and professional students said they “have” confidence in the way that Mr. Krebs handled the coach Locksley incident? First off, the GPSA can vote on whatever they want but voting no confidence in Mr. Krebs basically means nothing except that they might be keeping him from getting another athletics director position at the collegiate level. Secondly, the graphs
are completely misleading and don’t get the point across. Obviously someone never got the memo that people mainly look at graphics instead of reading through text. Finally, I think the GPSA has used my GPSA fee improperly by wasting time on this matter. So far all I have observed as a graduate student is that the GPSA is a student-funded joke.

NEWS IN BRIEF SANTA FE, N.M. — New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is pushing for a vote by all state senators on a proposal to allow domestic partnerships. Richardson said Wednesday he doesn’t want the bill to get bottled up in a Senate committee this session. The bill has cleared one committee but needs to get through two more to reach the Senate floor. Richardson said at a news conference that all senators should have a chance to vote because domestic partnerships represent an important civil rights issue. The Senate rejected the measure last year.

NEW YORK — The attorney representing a 27-year-old man charged with setting a fire that killed five people in New York City says he acted heroically during the blaze by helping a 2-year-old boy escape. Daniel Ignacio is being held without bail after he was charged
with second-degree murder and arson in the weekend blaze in Brooklyn. Prosecutors say he told police he was drunk and threw a lit roll of toilet paper on a baby carriage near the door before heading to bed. Lawyer Danielle Eaddy said Wednesday she doesn’t believe Ignacio’s statements will prove an intention to start the fire. She also says there are problems with how the statements were obtained. Eaddy says Ignacio helped save the toddler by passing him to safety before getting out of the building.

Socorro poultry farm smells great when it rains by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
Since nobody’s physical body is going to leave this planet, Tom Delehanty wanted to give something back to it. A sixth-generation farmer from Wisconsin, Delehanty moved to Socorro about 15 years ago to start Pollo Real, a pastured poultry farm. He said the concept behind pastured poultry is to help replenish the organic matter in soil. “In the Rio Grande Valley, it’s typically 1.5 percent organic soil matter (that) you’ll find,” he said. “We got our organic matter now to 5 to 8 percent.” Delehanty uses portable yurts to move his poultry around his 30acre farm. He sells his chickens, turkeys, ducks and guineas exclusively in New Mexico. “It’s powerful to move a small group of birds daily on the ground and watch the soil change,” he said. “They’re different than intensive grazing cattle because they actually put their beaks in the soil and they’re going after stuff and exchanging the microbials.” Delehanty processes about 15,000 poultry in one year on the farm. He said New Mexico state law allows on-site processing of 20,000 birds per year. After a farm exceeds 20,000 birds per year, it becomes a USDA farm and can no longer process the chickens at the farm. “The USDA came in here two

years ago and went around to every plant in the state and converted it to USDA, inspections, the whole works,” he said. “Since we’re USDA exempt, I didn’t worry about it. We got no paperwork from them.” Delehanty said two USDA agents came to his farm about a year ago for an unannounced inspection. “I told them I wasn’t processing anything and said, ‘What are you here to inspect?’” Delehanty said. “They said ‘We don’t have to tell you.’ They asked if they could drive in. I said ‘No, you’ve seen the sign at my gate that says ‘No trespassing under penalty of law.’ They looked back at me and I said, ‘I haven’t ever received any paperwork from you. I’m still licensed by the state. Where’s your authority? What’s your authorization to be here?’ And they said, ‘We don’t have to show you.’” Delehanty said he escorted them off his farm and sent a letter to the regional USDA representative in Denver, Colo. explaining what had happened. “We just wanted to make the record first before they drove off and made their own,” he said. Delehanty said former Sen. Pete Domenici, a fan of the farm’s poultry, helped them clear the air with the USDA. The USDA wanted the farm to have contact information (name, phone number and address) for the individual customers they sell to. “Pete argued that was totally ridiculous. He asked, ‘Does Tyson have to do that?’” Delehanty said. “And we beat that one down. So we backed them off and they were
!
really friendly.” Gary Mickelson, the media representative for Tyson chicken, said Tyson has contracts with farmers who raise the chickens, and then the chickens go to a Tyson-owned processing plant. He said they have plants all over the world. “We have approximately 6,000 contract family farmers for chicken for Tyson Foods,” Mickelson said. “In total we have 63 chicken plants. Those are primarily plants in the United States but we do have some poultry plants in other countries such as Mexico, some in Brazil and India.” He said Tyson’s chicken plants processed about 41 million chickens per week in the fiscal year 2009. Delehanty said he used to process more than 15,000 birds per year, and it has a negative effect on his product. “The scale (of a farm) is really important to learn and to figure out,” Delehanty said. “It’s not simple, but we went to the maximum of something you could possibly do with something like this, without huge buildings. And then we brought it back down to about 15,000 birds a year, and we’re making more money and more time and we’re more organized and have a better product than ever before.” Delehanty said the smell of a poultry farm is a good indicator of how healthy the farm is. He said he could take blindfolded people out to his farm on a day after it had rained and they couldn’t smell the chickens.

Man Ray-festo: a slice of Africana by Eden Silverthorne Daily Lobo
“This will be the most important traveling exhibition that we’ve ever brought to the UNM community,” said Luanne McKinnon, UNM Art Museum director. “Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens,” a traveling art exhibit, will premier on Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The show explores the role of photography in changing the perception of African objects from ethnographic artifacts to fine art. It features more than 100 photographs by Man Ray and his international avant-garde contemporaries Charles Sheeler, Walker Evans, Cecil Beaton, Alfred Stieglitz, and James L. Allen. The photographs will hang alongside the original African objects they feature, McKinnon said. A display of books, avant-garde journals and popular magazines illustrates the photographs circulated and promotes ideas about African art and culture to an international audience. “The work of Man Ray elevated (African sculpture) into the realm of fine art,” McKinnon said. “He basically plucked the … African sculpture out of the context in which it had been formerly recognized, which was ethnographic.” The exhibit is organized into four sections: “African Art
“Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens” Friday through May 30 UNM Art Museum For more information on the speaker series visit finearts. unm.edu/events/events_museum.htm American Style,” “African Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” “Surrealism and Beyond” and “Fashioning a Popular Reception.” In the last section, Man Ray’s works blend African art, photography and high fashion. “What Man Ray did was help begin this conversation in which the appreciation of all things African was absorbed into mainstream culture,” McKinnon said. “The very last part of our exhibition really shows how that matriculated out.” Sara Otto-Diniz, curator of Academic Initiatives at the UNM Art Museum, said the exhibit fits into the museum’s mission to educate the masses. “This exhibition provides a particularly thought-provoking thesis,” Otto-Diniz said. ‘Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens’

Sanctifying Super Bowl Sabbath by Gillian Flaccusa
Another more serious religious message planned during the game has caused a stir: A pro-life ad paid for by the conservative group Focus on the Family is expected to feature University of Florida football star Tim Tebow speaking about how his mother gave birth to him despite doctor’s recommendations that she should have an abortion. But the LA church, a congregation full of hip twenty-somethings who mostly work in the film industry and make short films for a hobby, is taking a different tack. They were careful to stick to the quirky, slapstick-style humor that’s expected by Super Bowl fans. “We’re not trying to use Doritos to propagate a message, but I think we want people to know that we have a sense of humor, that it’s OK to laugh,” McManus said. “So much of what comes out of the faith community seems so dour and somber and we want to say, ‘Hey, we’re real people. You can be a person of faith and really enjoy life and laugh.” With its talent base in entertainment, the church is at the vanguard
of a growing Christian movement focused on injecting faith-based themes into the plot lines of mainstream TV shows, Hollywood movies and video games that aren’t explicitly Christian, or advertised as such. Movies like “The Passion of the Christ” and “The Chronicles of Narnia” several years ago marked early successes, but the recent blockbuster “The Blind Side” — which wasn’t perceived as an overtly Christian film — really made Hollywood take note, said Phil Cooke, a Christian producer, filmmaker and author. The Doritos spot, while just 30 seconds, is part of that bigger push, Cooke said. The tongue-in-cheek ad opens on a funeral scene and then cuts to a young man alive in a closed casket. His body is covered in Doritos and he is watching the Super Bowl on a tiny TV while chomping on chips as mourners sob outside. Two friends, who are in on the prank, snicker that by faking his death, their friend will get a week off work and an endless supply of his favorite snack.
is the culmination of 12 years of scholarships by independent curator Wendy Grossman. … Juxtaposing photographs with the objects represented in them offers all visitors an opportunity to better understand the interpretive nature of photography.” Six speakers, local and national, will give talks at the show space
through April that are free to the public. “We’ll have speakers from across the country and across campus to speak here at the Art Museum on a variety of subjects relative to this Man Ray exhibition,” said Angela Berkson, office manager. McKinnon said this event is a spectacular collection of work
that everyone should see in their lifetime. “If a student has the opportunity to see very, very rare early photographs … and rare pieces of African sculpture and African art, that’s an extraordinary thing in itself,” McKinnon said. “It’s not every day that you get to see this many masterpieces of photography in one room.”

Pastors have long competed with the NFL on Sundays, but this season a hipster mega-church is turning the tables with a 30-second ad that could muscle its way into that all-holiest of sporting events: the Super Bowl. Mosaic, a 3,000-member megachurch, is one of six finalists in the Doritos’ “Crash the Super Bowl” challenge with a lighthearted spoof that plays off the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If the church’s ad, titled “Casket,” is among the top three vote-getters in an online playoff, it will air on Feb. 7 during the Super Bowl. If the commercial ranks in the top three mostpopular ads among viewers, it could win its creators either $400,000, $600,000 or $1 million. For Erwin McManus, Mosaic’s lead pastor, the ad competition represents a chance to make his faith relevant to one of the largest TV audiences in the nation when viewers least expect it — and are least likely to tune out.
