Six UNMH doctors headed to Haiti for emergency relief by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
The UNM community is responding to the earthquake in Haiti with on-the-ground support. The New Mexico Disaster Medical Assistance Team sent 23 doctors — six from University Hospital — to Haiti for a two-week deployment. UNM DMAT members include specialists in emergency medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology, according to a press release. Michael Richards, chairman of the UNM Department of Emergency Medicine, said the DMAT team will work in Port-au-Prince — Haiti’s capital — with a mobile surgical facility that has same accessibility and resources as any hospital. “We are going with a 20-member surgical team from across the country. We’ll be rotating on a 24-hour-a-day system,” Richards said. “Individuals will be sleeping in tents with no electricity or running water.” In a phone interview Friday, Richards said he and his team are prepared for the response. “We identified our team for any deployment

Mike Westervelt, ASUNM vice president, is planning to pass legislation to provide more lighting on campus to make sure a repeat of Monday’s student attack doesn’t happen again. “I don’t want there to be any more dark places where this kind of thing can happen,” Wester said. “I’m going to push really hard to get (something) similar to what the Johnson lights are, but all over campus — light the campus up to make it look like it is daytime even in nighttime.” Westervelt said his advocacy of improved lighting resulted directly from the Monday night stabbing of a UNM student and employee. He said he helped the victim until paramedics arrived. “We just want to be safe,” he said. “I think that’s what we all want at UNM. I didn’t realize how unsafe our campus can be before this.” Zoila Alvarez, an ASUNM senator, said she will draft a resolution asking administration to increase bike patrols, install better lighting and put up more emergency phones. “I hate walking at night on campus as a girl,” Alvarez said. “It’s sad

weeks before the earthquake,” Richards said. “It takes months of training to prepare anyone for the environment, but someone with experience in a disaster zone is the best, and we have a strong team with a healthy mix of experience and training.” Of the six doctors, only UNM physicians Nancy Kurt and Joe Sparlon will be working in a disaster zone for the first time. “Nancy has experience with an international medical responder’s unit, so she should be prepared for the stress and high intensity we will face,” Richards said. NM DMAT is part of the National Disaster Medical System.

that it takes an event like this to shine light on the safety issue.” She said ASUNM may also organize a self-defense workshop open to all UNM students. Westervelt said students shouldn’t be frightened indoors or outside of night classes. He said this incident can be an opportunity to demand better campus security. “I think it’s important for students to be — instead of afraid — to be proactive,” he said. “Demand that there are lights everywhere. Demand foot patrols by UNMPD.

Only us as students can really affect that kind of change.” Westervelt said he went to UNMH on Tuesday to see the victim, but she is not yet allowing any visitors. He said he spoke with some of her family members briefly. “They said she’s going to be OK physically, so that’s good,” he said. He said that after the victim laid on the floor in the music appreciation classroom, she requested that a student call one of her friends. He said a student dialed the number for her and held the phone
up to her ear so she could tell the friend what happened to her and where she was located. Westervelt said the victim mentioned she was on her cell phone outside the anthropology building when the attack happened. “I think she was as calm as she could be,” he said. “We told her to continue to breathe slowly.” The entire class — 88 people, according to LoboWeb — came to the victim’s aid. “Everybody jumped up,” he said. “Everybody in that class deserves a hero’s award.”

include physicians, nurses, pharmacists and emergency medical technicians, as well as administrative, security, safety, logistics and communications personnel.
Music 139 class rose to the occasion, offering help to the victim and assisting the authorities as witnesses, respecting the privacy of the victim and remaining relatively calm in a stressful situation,” he said. “I am amazed and honored to have such a fine group of students.” Davis said he encouraged his students to seek counseling if necessary. “I am most concerned for the welfare of my students and especially for the victim of this crime, who is also a student of my music appreciation class,” he said. Police are asking the UNM community to be on the lookout for a 6-foot-tall, 150-pound black man who wore a black hooded sweatshirt and a black baseball cap the night of the assault. Even though Haarhues said the crime was “very unusual,” he said it’s common for violent or disruptive
members of the community to wander onto campus. “We’re constantly dealing with people who just come on the campus to hang out,” he said. “We give them criminal trespass notices, and we move them off the campus, but it takes an administrative action to actually bar them from the campus.” Despite the incident, Haarhues said UNM’s campus is safe. “We have very few crimes like this on campus,” he said. “We were even trying to remember when the last one happened.” An hour and a half after the assault, two UNM TextMe alerts — which are sent out through a collaborative effort between UNMPD and University Communications and Marketing — were sent out to students, faculty and staff who signed up for the service encouraging them to be vigilant and travel in groups.

The suspect is still at large, Haarhues said. “The investigation’s active,” he said. “We have a lot of leads to follow up on. A lot of the campus community is calling — surrounding neighborhoods are calling — and giving us information.” The victim is enrolled in a music appreciation class that meets Monday evenings. She burst into the classroom in the anthropology building around 7:55 p.m. and said she’d been stabbed. Several students bolted out of the room in pursuit of the alleged assailant, and several more remained and used their T-shirts to place pressure on the woman’s bleeding neck wound.

From the web In response to the breaking news story by Pat Lohmann, entitled “Suspected stabber at large around UNM,” Daily Lobo readers had a lively discussion on the topic. by ‘Post American’ Posted Tuesday “In all my years at UNM I’ve never seen the campus police ‘walking’ the beat.” by ‘Student - on and off campus’ Posted Tuesday “Good fwor UNMPD for responding so quickly. It’s those moments that count, and they know it. In my five years at UNM, I’ve seen UNMPD walking, biking and driving several times, especially in the instances I was on campus late at night. It’s hard to be everywhere at once, but they do a good job of taking care of this campus, look how often this kind of stuff doesn’t happen. I hope they find the guy.” by ‘David Wilson’ Posted Tuesday “This guy had a knife, and ran away. If a student had a gun, and had seen him running away, would he have shot at the assailant? Yes, very likely. And he would have been discharging a weapon illegally, because you can’t fire a gun at a fleeing criminal; you can only use it to preserve life or protect from serious imminent harm. So you either end up hesitating and getting killed, or you end up illegally firing and getting charged. I don’t have a problem with gun ownership, but people who are constantly wanting to take guns into new areas — our campus, bars, restaurants — do worry me. I think conceal/carry should only be allowed if you have had extensive training. It’s far too easy to get a license. Let’s leave policing to the police.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com.
Letter UNM should allow those licensed to carry weapons Editor, I would like to know how many attacks it’s going to take before everyone admits that the police cannot be everywhere. And the administration needs to allow holders of conceal/carry licenses to do just that on the UNM campus. Not everyone wants to carry a firearm to protect themselves, but some people go through a lot of time and effort to earn a conceal/carry license, and it is very frustrating not to be able to use it. I fail to see how it’s better for someone to be found bruised and bleeding, rather than filling out a report of how the guy ran when the firearm was exposed. I have heard a lot of attack stories in the eight years I have studied and worked at UNM. Nine out of 10 (if not all) are of a woman being attacked by a man. Where is the support for women being allowed to protect themselves on campus? Where is the support for all individuals to protect their right to life? Why isn’t anyone furious? I am.

Tips and tricks to keeping a tip-top garden by Zach Gould
Daily Lobo Opinion Editor I’m taking a sustainability class. We’re talking about food sheds, or the perimeter around Albuquerque in which getting food from is considered local and sustainable. Albuquerque has a food shed of about 300 miles. I eat within my food shed year round for the most part, with an occasional dip into the seafood section. On occasion I slip and get some tomatoes during winter — sometimes a man just needs his red vegetable. Having to exist within the food shed can be difficult. New Mexico is limited in its food shed. We don’t produce much variety and the things that there are a lot of are typically hard to make an entire meal out of. I find myself feeling like an Irish peasant when the contents of my dinner is limited to a meager cabbage, butter and un-cracked peppercorn goulash. I buy big burlap sacks of pinto beans to supplement the lack of protein in our food shed. New Mexico is not somewhere that produces a lot of sustainable meat. Besides the pastoral chicken, your options are limited. Growing up a vegetarian, I’ve never been able to fully accept meat into my life. When I have done so, I usually walk away with discomfort in my bowels. The lack of variety in a food shed can cause even the most committed people to throw off the shackles and go grab crab cakes covered in Icelandic parsley - the furthest food possible. To battle the feeling of lack of control, I suggest taking things into your own hands. Grow a garden. “How might I do this?” you ask. Well, let’s go over some of the basics. The difference between farm-raised food and garden-bred food is simple: On a farm, you’re trying to put as much resources as possible into a decent amount of land. In a garden, you are putting a large amount of
resources into a small piece of land or even a set of containers. This means you can get much higher yields from very small land sizes. The limit of space in gardens has made people have to plant all their varieties closer together, which in turn has taught people how to use a mixture of plants to help them do the work. Plants should never serve just one purpose. If you think your plant is serving one purpose, you are either ill informed or thankless. Just the process of photosynthesis alone provides all food and oxygen that we consume. The seasons are changing, so let’s talk about what you can do right now. There is limited planting during the winter months in New Mexico. Most farms usually have a few winter crops. Garlic, onions, spinach, radish, turnip, carrot and most lettuces will grow throughout the winter months. But the flavor of all plants, especially root plants, will be much milder than in the summer months. Some plants, like the radish, are favored in the colder months because of their subtle spiciness. I know as a kid they were too much for my taste buds throughout the year. Summer’s selection is much bigger. But in our climate the heat and lack of water can take it’s toll on crops. Chiles, bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, basil, strawberries, raspberries, nut trees and other herbs can all flourish in the summer time. There are some things to consider when you start planting. The natural soil in most areas around the city lacks biomass and moisture. Bacteria and fungi are not present like they are in other places. Just throwing some seeds into the soil and waiting for results can leave you doubtful that anything could grow in a desert like ours. But with some techniques that satisfy space problems at the same time, you can produce delicious and high-yielding plants. To bypass the natural soil problem, go
above it all. Plant in raised beds or containers. You can completely control every aspect of your soil and get it perfect. There are a multitude of planting mediums ranging everywhere from soil to soilless, all having distinct benefits and disadvantages. I like an almost soilless mix with 25 percent compost, 25 percent perlite, 25 percent vermiculite and 25 percent coco fiber. The compost introduces natural bacteria and fungus along with trace nutrients that are important for plant growth. The perlite and vermiculite are both inorganic materials that hold moisture while still providing oxygen to the root system. The coco fibers are strands of coconut shell that have been broken down, pressure washed and sterilized. The fiber holds water and nutrients really well with a benefit of helping overall soil structure. I like to soak the coco fiber in a natural insecticide called Neem oil before mixing it in with everything else. The best way to get rid of bugs is to start with only the beneficial ones — Neem oil can help. The second tip for starting any garden is compost. You should be doing it anyways, if for nothing else, to reduce the amount of trash in landfills. But it’s the cheapest fertilizer you can get. There are a few things to know when starting to compost. There is no wrong way to do it, but there are things that help it go faster. No meat or dairy, it takes too long and it attracts animals. Add enough water so that when you turn the soil it feels like a wrungout sponge. No citrus, as the peels can take years to break down. And remember that to have compost you don’t need to turn it, but the more air you provide the bacteria and fungus the faster they do your work. Along those lines, you should try to get everything into your compost in the most broken-up physical form. Hopefully with this advice you can feel more secure in starting your garden today.

lobo men’s basketball
Gearing up to face one of the MWC’s worst teams by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
If there are any rules of chemistry in the sporting world, especially in the realm of college athletics, it’s that winning with a young team is nearly impossible. But head coach Steve Alford’s Lobos are the exception to the rule in the college basketball table of elements. The Lobos, 12th in the Associated Press poll and 15th in ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll, are 23-3 overall and 9-2 in the Mountain West Conference and are looking for their 10th straight conference win. In the way of that is Wyoming, a team the Lobos will face today at The Pit. “We are deserving of having a top-20 ranking,” Alford said. “We have talked about our youthfulness all year and that is kind of why I am shocked (with) where we are at, to be honest with you. But we talk about this, year in and year out, you are what your record is.” The Lobos return to Albuquerque after two impressive road wins over UNLV and Utah, the latter coming in overtime. Even more striking than UNM’s winning streak is what the Lobos have accomplished nationally. UNM is one of only three teams, along with No. 2 Kentucky and No. 5 Syracuse, which is 5-0 against ranked opponents in 2009-10. In the Ratings Percentage Index, the Lobos are No. 9 and in addition are 50th in strength of schedule,
according to RPIRatings.com. UNM is 7-2 against teams in the RPI’s top 50, which puts the Lobos in a tie with Kansas and trailing only Duke — yes, Duke — which has eight wins against the RPI’s top 50 teams. The Lobos have beaten MWC counterparts BYU, UNLV and San Diego State, and, as it stands, the Cougars, Runnin’ Rebels and Aztecs are currently staring upward at the Lobos, who stand in first place, with fives games to go in determining who will win the league’s regular-season championship. But Lobo guard Dairese Gary said he doesn’t want UNM to be caught off guard, especially against eighthplace Wyoming. “We have a saying on the wall that you have to respect every team that you play, especially in this conference,” Gary said. “Because any given day, any team in this conference can give you a scare. And, you know, doing what we are trying to do, we have to take it one game at a time and win each game. We are not going to overlook anybody, because Wyoming — they could be as dangerous as BYU, UNLV or San Diego State.” To the general public, however, Wyoming appears, on paper, to be an easy win for the Lobos. The Cowboys are the secondworst 3-point shooting team in the MWC, ahead of only Colorado State. Wyoming has hit only 60 trey balls in its 11 conference games, while UNM averages 7.3 3-pointers per game and has hit 80 during its conference season.

From reading the tea leaves of the last five games, the UNM women’s basketball team (14-9, 6-5 MWC) should walk away from Wyoming with a win. Over the last five games, at home, the Lobos have lost to teams with worse records than them — with the exception of a win over TCU — and beat teams on the road which were ranked above or equal to them in the Mountain West Conference. The Lobos boasted wins against TCU, BYU and San Diego State, two of which were on the road, in a threegame stretch and then lost to Utah and UNLV at home. Entering Wednesday’s game, Wyoming — tied with the Lobos for third place in the MWC — fits this description. But the dynamics of today’s game against the Pokes (15-8 overall, 6-5 Mountain West Conference) have changed. One, Wyoming boasts the best home winning record (10-1) in the MWC. Two, point guard Amy Beggin will not play for the second game in a row. She suffered a head injury against UNLV and won’t be ready to
Wyoming
play until Saturday. Without Beggin, Georonika Jackson will start at the point guard position. “I think we are OK,” said head coach Don Flanagan. “We didn’t turn the ball over very many times against Utah without Amy in there. Defensively was my only concern. We don’t get quite the pressure on the ball, but, in the mean time, I thought those players did an adequate job of being the point guard and taking care of the ball.” The Lobos turned the ball over 13 times in their 52-49 loss to Utah on Saturday, a shade above their season average. But the Lobos need to be more concerned with their shooting percentage, Flanagan said. “It’s all about shooting percentage,” he said. “Last time against Wyoming we shot 48 percent in the first half, 48 percent in the second half and 50 percent from the 3. If we shoot 40, we beat people. If we shoot 30, we have a tough game.” In fact, the Lobos have won all four MWC games when shooting above 39 percent. And they have a MWC record of 2-5 when shooting below that number. Strangely enough, the two MWC games they
won when shooting under 39 percent were against conference-leaders TCU and BYU. To counteract this, Flanagan has told his hot players to shoot, and his cold players to get the ball inside. “I’ve told a couple of them to shoot a little bit more,” Flanagan said. “If somebody has a good shooting percentage, especially recently, we have encouraged those players to get those shots off. More aggressive play is the key. We want to get inside. And it appears to me when we shoot 25 or more 3s, we shoot a poor percentage. We have to get it inside with either a drive or with passes inside. And our inside players hit their shots.” Even without Beggin, Flanagan is upbeat about the Lobos chances, especially after a rousing practice before the team’s departure to Wyoming. “We had a good practice today, one of the better practices we have had in quite a long time,” Flanagan said. “I am encouraged by that and how hard we played. Amy was sitting there watching and said, ‘Gee, we should have played that hard against Utah’ ... Everybody is working hard. Everybody wants to get back on the winning ways.”
Lobos to stay on track against inferior foes, like the Cowboys. “These guys have to stay grounded and stay very focused on what they got to do, because we have two huge home games
this week,” Alford said. “They are dangerous and are coming to us — if I am not mistaken — losing five in a row. Heath (Schroyer) has done a wonderful job of just keeping them playing with major injuries all year.”

The Pokes are also the most disinterested defensive team in the MWC, allowing 840 points, while only scoring 728, which is the worst in the conference. Still, Alford said he needs the
