Housing reps search for input Show’s casting call sets bar too high Torres: University not sure why attendance was low
Attendee Numbers for Housing Forums

Sign-in sheets show that fewer than 40 students attended Lobo Development Corporation’s openhousing forums held since March, prompting officials to try a different approach. The University created a housing blog that allows students to track housing updates, ask questions and communicate more effectively, since just 112 people attended the LDC’s 17 forums, according to documents obtained from the Office of the Custodian of Public Records. Eliseo “Cheo” Torres, UNM Student Affairs vice president, said the blog will create an avenue for further dialogue. “It was created because of the many questions and misunderstandings on what our plans are for Student Housing …,” he said. Other than University officials, only one person attended a Sept. 9 meeting, three UNM community members were at an Aug. 8 meeting, and six students or community members showed up to a Sept. 2 forum. Twenty-one students, five community members and the UNM Parent Association president attended a Nov. 30 meeting, a few weeks after

Santa Ana dorm residents became concerned they’d be kicked out of the dorm over winter break to allow the hall to be demolished. Several students attended more than one forum, and one sign-in sheet was incomplete. UNM Real Estate Director Kim Murphy didn’t return phone calls Monday. In an effort to get student input, Lobo Development administered online surveys to the student body using “Student Voice,” according to the company’s “strategic housing plan.” The survey was open for 16 days in
May 2009 and received 880 completed responses. To increase student participation, LDC gave away a Wii and iPods, and the 3.5 percent response ratio of the 25,000 person student body was considered an “ideal sample,” according to the housing plan. Lobo Development’s website also listed dates, times and locations for its forums, but at a November Board of Regents meeting, students expressed concerns about the company’s lack of communication over housing plans.

“America’s Next Top Model” might have walked the catwalk at the SUB Atrium on Monday evening — if she was tall enough to reach the stage. More than 80 women auditioned for the hit reality series at the casting call hosted by Albuquerque’s local CW affiliate, but dozens of others who showed up were told they didn’t measure up. Before hopefuls could audition, they had to be at least as tall as the “model stick,” which meant they had to be at least 5 feet 7 inches. Emily Burshard, who auditioned at the casting call, said she was surprised there were so few contestants, but saw women turned away because they didn’t meet the height requirement. “They were disappointed, but if the judges are looking for a certain type and they don’t fit that type, then it’s understandable,” the 6-foot-2inch Burshard said. Looking at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s numbers, it’s no wonder New Mexico women don’t stack up. A little less than half of New Mexico’s population identify as Hispanic, according
THE RESTLESS’ UPRISING
to the U.S. Census Bureau, and the average Hispanic female is 5 feet, 2 inches, two inches shorter than the national average for females, according to the CDC. CW Creative Director Chris Iller said representatives wanted at least 100 audition tapes from the casting call to give producers. He said he was disappointed with Monday’s turnout, and he said more than 1,000 women auditioned in Albuquerque after the show’s producers dropped the height requirement for one season two years ago. “The producers said they will not accept anyone under 5-7 because that is the height requirement for the cycle that they are looking for,” he said. “Those are the girls that will make it to the show.” Channelle Barelas showed up at the SUB Atrium only to be told she was too short to for the show. Although she couldn’t audition, Barelas, an avid “America’s Next Top Model” fan, decided to stay and watch the women who were tall enough. “It hasn’t looked too promising,” she said. “I’ve only seen one girl who I think deserves to be on the show. They all just kind of blend in together, and all of them have been kind of scared. It’s like the whole fishbowl

Solar energy commercial reaches Super Bowl viewers A New Mexico company is taking advantage of Super Bowl Sunday by unveiling a new television ad it hopes will shine a spotlight on solar energy. Sacred Power Corp. teamed up with a production company called halflife digital to create an ad that features human photons streaking from the sun toward a solar array mounted on an Albuquerque rooftop. The commercial then cuts to football fans watching the game on a television powered by solar energy. It finishes by flashing the company’s logo.

FARMINGTON — The owner of a McDonald’s restaurant in Farmington says he was extremely disturbed by an incident last spring in which three former restaurant employees were accused of branding a swastika on a developmentally disabled Navajo man. John Bronson says he has “zero tolerance” for such behavior. An Albuquerque lawyer filed a civil lawsuit last week against McDonald’s and Bronson, saying the employees were hired in violation of corporate policies requiring a safe environment for customers. In a statement released by the McDonald’s regional marketing office, Bronson says the actions of the three Farmington-area men don’t reflect his values or the values of his organization.

She told Lobo Development representatives that better communication and information-sharing was crucial to avoiding confusion. “It may sound elementary, but it really does make a difference,� she said.
Torres said LDC officials made efforts to attract student input, but had trouble getting them to attend meetings. “We expected a larger number of students participating,� he said. “And (we) are not sure why attendance was low.�

effect.� CW representatives said most women didn’t understand they were not judges. Iller said representatives were simply ensuring the women met the height requirement and had all necessary materials for their audition packages, but had no say in who would end up on the show. “What we are doing here at the local level is providing a service,� he said. “We’ll videotape them doing their walk, videotape their interview. We check it all for mistakes. They leave here knowing that we’ve looked their packet over.� In addition to a height requirement, women had to provide a government-issued form of ID, three photographs (one face close-up, one full body shot clothed and one full body shot in a swimsuit) and a videotaped interview conducted by a CW representative at the casting call. The interviewer read from a list of questions, which included “How competitive are you?�, “Would you do anything to win the competition?�, and “What do you think about your competition outside in the line today? How would you compare yourself to the girls outside in the line?� Genevieve Murphy-Wix showed up to the casting call unaware she was going to have to provide a swimsuit photo. She said she rushed to the store and bought a suit, even though she was unsure of her chances compared to other women. “There’s a lot of girls who probably a lot prettier than I am,� MurphyWix said. “But I have the height thing going for me, so that’s what I was looking at.� Burshard walked off the catwalk and into her boyfriend’s arms for a hug. She is uncertain about her chances, but she said she possesses a quality that the show’s judges look for. “I have that fierceness,� Burshard said.

FROM THE WEB In Monday’s article, “Legislator: Immigration law ‘reeks of Arizona,’” by Shaun Griswold, New Mexico politicians condemned Gov. Susana Martinez’s decision to allow law enforcement to check people’s immigration status during arrests. Online readers added their voices to the dialogue: by ‘TelesforoSanAnto’ Posted Monday “Political scientists contend that the pendulum of public opinion swings back and forth. Historically, Arizona and New Mexico were once like Siamese territories — joined at the hip. It should not surprise New Mexicans that their new governor was bred and reared in west Texas, and her father, Jake, was an infamous west Texas deputy sheriff that our communities still remember. Don’t expect any sympathy from Santa Fe anytime soon.” by ‘CHL’ Posted Monday “Yes, we are supposed to hand the illegals a driver’s license and a voter’s registration card as they cross the border. What’s with this danged Texican trying to uphold our sovereignty! The nerve!” by ‘MB’ Posted Monday “Without having an immigration law that is enforced, soon New Mexico will just become North Mexico. These are criminal aliens, and now Muslim extremists are crossing the borders. What do leftists want next? America to just surrender like the French do every time Germans show up in Paris?” by ‘If Only’ Posted Monday “If only this policy required police to ask everyone their legal status, even Ms. Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes. But of course, they will only ask those they suspect to be “illegal,” which basically means anyone darker than a Wheat Thin. Maybe Ms. Martinez should look in a mirror. An Arizona officer would say her skin color makes him suspicious about her legal status.”

Your resolution should be not to change
“Google it.”
Playing ‘top’ dog doesn’t make for astute foreign policy Editor, It appears that we in this country have become so occupied with playing the “Who’s on top” game that we have not noticed that people in other countries, like China and India, have worked together to develop economies and societies that are better equipped to deal with today’s challenges and opportunities. We will continue to fade away as long as we continue to play that game. Robert Gardiner Community member

culture@dailylobo.com People should give up on trying to reinvent themselves. By this point, all of the New Year’s resolutions have gone down the toilet. My friend said he was going to quit smoking, but now he buys two packs at a time. I have another friend. She said she was going to eat better, but she now eats at Wendy’s and McDonald’s every, single day. I thought I wasn’t going to write another one of these ranting columns, yet here we are. The thing is, it isn’t just New Year’s resolutions at this point. Take last week, for example. Plenty of folks said they were going to recommit to their studies, get that assignment done, but what happened? Nothing. Everyone screwed around as usual, and I can’t begin to fathom why. I was the same way. I had several pressing assignments that I didn’t bother doing until the day they were due — this week — and my friends weren’t much better. Some spent their days smoking reefer or drinking, or a combination of both. But that’s not necessarily a problem. The problem is making an effort to try and be better. Anytime someone tries to be better, this attempt inevitably fails and
causes a person to feel shame about being incapable of living up to their goals. The person that tries to quit smoking will feel worse after they fail because smoking is difficult to quit. It’s as hard to quit as heroin. Seriously, Google it. And don’t even get me started about losing weight. You basically have to starve yourself, and if there’s one thing Americans have on third-world countries, it’s that we don’t starve on a regular basis. What else is there to improve?
The problem is making an effort to try and be better. The sooner you can accept your lame-ass self, the sooner you can stop feeling so lame. Be nicer, but really don’t. Your brain is hardwired to be a prick for a reason. It’s because everyone else is a prick, and if you aren’t a prick, you are going to get eaten alive. Just watch “Yes Man,” or read a study of how the nice guy will never get the girl because the prickish guy already wowed her, used her for sex, and ran off to the next girl with a pair of breasts. For real, Google that, too. Maybe you wanted to spend more time with your family and friends. Too bad there’s a reason you don’t spend more time with your family and friends. Maybe it’s that creepy uncle who always wants to meet your girlfriend, and in some cases boyfriend. Or maybe it’s the friend who borrows your car, crashes into the Dairy Queen, and then asks you to bail him out of jail and foot the bill for his blizzard. You want to spend more time with people like that? Another popular resolution is to give up
drinking, but who wants to live a life without booze? No one. That’s who. Google says so. Or perhaps you want to work out more, and get that body trimmed up so you don’t horrify children when you decide to wear a T-shirt. But working out requires effort. A lot of effort. You have to sweat to do all that, and if you are already overeating and smoking, it’ll be that much harder. Perhaps you’re a scholar, and you pledged to learn something new every day, week, month or so on, but you won’t. Learning sucks. Can you actually go through class and not text or doze off? Can you say you’re going to do all the reading for that underwater basket weaving class when the teacher isn’t even grading? To put it simply, you can only learn so much, and if you try to stretch yourself, your brain will ooze out your ears. Seriously, Google it. The almighty search engine never lies. Let’s say you’re the practical sort and this is the year you’re going to get out of debt. But let’s reconsider this a bit. There’s a reason you’re in debt, and it’s because of poor impulse control. Every time you see something shiny you buy it, and that’s not going to change because you want it to. That’s brain chemistry, and you aren’t changing that anytime soon. Do I even need to say it? Google it. The point is simple. Anytime you try to change something you fail, so just stop trying to change. Drink yourself to death on Cheeto-flavored schnapps while avoiding your family and friends. Go out and buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke them while roller-skating on a treadmill because why the f**k not? The sooner you can accept your lameass self the sooner you can stop feeling so lame. But that would require you to change yourself, so maybe you should give up on yourself altogether. It’s probably easier that way. Google it.

Hard economic times have forced people to take a second look at the way they spend their disposable income, especially students. For smokers, nicotine addiction makes it difficult to quit smoking even if it’s to save money. At 10 packs a month, I spend roughly $75 a month on the habit. To have your cake and eat it too, it has become necessary to buy cigarettes cheaply. For UNM-area smokers, the Daily Lobo visited cigarette outlets between Central and Coal avenues and University and Girard boulevards to see which sells the cheapest, most bearable cigarettes. I tested each pack to determine which were the best in terms of smoking experience, ranging from the vilely unpalatable (cheap brands seem to have a varying characteristic chemical funk) to
a flavor on par with pricier brands. They are listed in order from best to worst in the graphic on page 6. The Sandia, by far the worst, had an overwhelming harsh flavor, likely because of the stale tobacco and chemical content. It’s an unpleasant drag that reminds you that you’re smoking something loaded with harmful elements. Pass on these unless you just spent all your money on the bills and are trying to choose between buying more expensive cigarettes and eating. The Pyramid cigarette was barely a step above the Sandia. I wasn’t able to finish a cigarette from either of these packs. The Pyramid flavor was more intense, which makes it better because you wouldn’t smoke as many and would spend less money. The drag was an airy, stale smoke with a more overwhelming chemical taste than the Sandia. Maverick struck a balance between funk and tobacco, though the flavor was comparable to a regular cigarette. It was

similar to smoking and feeling shortchanged. This brand is smoke-able, but barely. I finished one or two, but a whole pack would be challenging. Doral also failed to deliver a fullflavor drag, but the chemical funk was more subdued than the Maverick. Once in a while, these cigarettes wouldn’t be terrible, but buying them regularly seems like a waste of money. Why pay

more than the Pall Mall. The Sonoma was similar. I rated them above Liggett Select only because these had a smoother inhale. The GPC was similar to Sonoma with a smooth inhale and almost indiscernible funk. USA Gold was a hit at my Super Bowl party, where I enlisted smokers to test the products with me, though I’m pretty sure they favored these because they were sick of the harsher cigarettes I offered. The drag was flavorful without any kind of harshness or funk. This pack only wins third because the flavor is not as satisfying as the top two. Winston and L&M offer a smooth drag that doesn’t compromise the flavor, and so they both gave me a completely satisfying smoking experience. However, L&M wins the best pack considering it is 72 cents cheaper than the cheapest pack in the area. It is also the only pack that delivered an untainted smoke fla-

vor, devoid of the funk — and it had a pleasantly sweet aftertaste, to boot. Another option for smoking cheaply: Roll your own. This requires some skill, but the practice is worth it. Not only are you smoking a cigarette you worked hard to roll, but you get more bang for your buck. For about $5, you can buy a cheap pouch of tobacco, which produces about 50 cigarettes, depending on how fat you stuff them. Or you can buy a quality 12-ounce canister for about $50, and that produces about a carton of cigarettes. Of course, smoking is not encouraged. This is simply to inform smokers who won’t be quitting anytime soon about the best places to buy cigarettes. If you’re a wannabe quitter, contact the Student Health and Counseling center or the Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention. Take advantage of the help available. For more information on quitting, go to shac.unm.edu/ smoking.html.

for a cigarette that doesn’t give you all the flavor your crave? The Native cigarette had undertones of funk, which is probably because it’s difficult to get a good drag off it. The cigarette lasts longer, but on the other hand, nobody wants to look like a fiend sucking and sucking at a cigarette that refuses to provide a fulfilling drag. It smokes OK, but by the middle, the flavor changes from airy to harsh. Because of their flavor, Fortuna and Pall Mall could easily be mistaken for each other. Neither are a bad smoke — relatively full flavor without an overwhelmingly harsh funk. However, the Fortuna burnt quickly. I take about 10 minutes to smoke a cigarette, and this took six or seven minutes. Liggett Select impressed me by almost completely disguising the funk with a nice, full flavor that tasted mostly like tobacco with caramel undertones. On the other hand, the smoke was somewhat harsher, though not much
