Police release suspect sketch Staff Report Daily Lobo
UNMPD released a sketch of a “person of interest” officers would like to interview in connection with the Monday night stabbing of a UNM student. The sketch was drawn up out of the victim’s description of the assailant, according to a UNMPD representative. The department is asking the UNM
community for help finding the assailant. The representative said there are no updates on the investigation or patient’s condition at this time. On Tuesday, UNMPD Spokesman Robert Haarhues said the victim was in “satisfactory” condition. On Monday night, an assailant stabbed a UNM student/employee in the neck and stole her cell phone in front of the Anthropology Building.

Heath Schroyer was dressed appropriately for the occasion. The Wyoming head coach suited up in all black for the Cowboys’ burial in the depths of The Pit on Wednesday, as the UNM men’s basketball team blitzed to an 83-61 win. The only thing that was remotely UNM 83 in doubt — oth61 UW er than another UNM win — was if Lobo fans would get their reducedprice tacos from Taco Bell on Thursday (the fast-food restaurant hands out cheap tacos if the Lobos score 65 points or more) — that is until UNM guard Jamal Fenton drained three free throws with 9:49 to go in the game, giving UNM a 67-37 advantage. UNM, 24-3 overall and 10-2 in the Mountain West Conference, earned its 10th straight conference victory, keeping the Lobos in first place in the MWC standings, even though BYU thrashed Colorado State 92-70 on Wednesday in Fort Collins, Colo. If anyone questioned if the Lobos would have a letdown at home after two straight road wins against UNLV
and Utah, it was quickly answered early in the first half. The Lobos led by 37-20 at the midway point, on the way to head coach Steve Alford’s 300th Division I win. “This was a great game, and I really thought that any time you come back off the road, this is the biggest game,” Alford said. “That is because you haven’t played (at home) in a while. You get a little complacent, because you think you can win just because you come back home. We did what we do with 23 assists, eight turnovers. We just share the basketball and our defense is getting better and better.” The Lobos had three players who scored points in the double-figures, Roman Martinez scoring 13, while Philip McDonald had 14. With 20 points and 10 boards, Darington Hobson earned his ninth double-double of the season. Schroyer said Hobson is the most versatile player in the MWC. “I think that if he is, if not the best, one of the best,” he said. “He’s really, really good. I was very impressed with him, and he just does a lot of different things.” It was just another night for Hobson.
The grammar in Facebook postings or instant messages might make some teachers cringe, but not North Carolina State University Professor Chris Anson. Anson encourages the use of Internet tools including blogs, Facebook and instant messengers to improve students’ writing skills. He said many students who write blogs are more prepared for academic writing. “Those people on blogs can be more ruthless than academians in their criticisms,” Anson said. “Writers know that they will have to back up their arguments with tons of evidence.” Anson was the keynote speaker at the fifth annual “Success in the Classroom” seminar. The Wednesday seminar was open to UNM faculty and drew over 100 teachers from various departments. Anson said asking students to do writing assignments in the form of an instant message conversation is fun for students and helps them truly understand information in every subject. He said this technique is something professors in biology, English, and even engineering can use. “I think we need to understand

how to use those technologies in more effective ways in our teaching,” he said. “I use a blog in every course I teach.” Student Sevy Gurule said blogging was required in her senior honors class. She said she blogged about assigned readings and was also required to comment on her classmates’ writing. “I think it was helpful because usually in such big classes you don’t really interact with other students and the blog allowed you to do that,” she said. “It was a more creative way of learning than writing papers.” She said blogging also allowed her to see the perspectives of other students on her senior project. Gary Smith, Office of Support for Effective Teaching director, coordinated the workshop. He said faculty members made presentations on engaging students in topics from geology to intermediate algebra. Some faculty members made poster presentations of their research on teaching methods and answered questions from other faculty members. When professors learn new ways to teach, students benefit, he said. “We wanted an opportunity for faculty to get together and share

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Artist Lauren Carvalho inspects her work on Sunday at the John Sommers Gallery. She’s having a show there Friday evening.
The structure of disconnection art by Candace Hsu Daily Lobo
Art is endless, said senior Sean Alkire. Alkire and Lauren Carvalho are showing their works at the John Sommers Gallery Friday. The exhibition includes a sculpture piece by Alkire and photography by Carvalho. “What I like most about art and photography is that it allows me to consider the many aspects of feeling and ideas,” Alkire said. “Art can transcend all disciplines. It is absolutely endless. With art you can do anything. It fits every aspect of the mental and visual world.” The two artists have taken the same classes for about two years. “Although our work is very different, I think it is inevitable for our work to have threads that go between our style,” Carvalho said. “Sean’s work is about structure and abundance, while mine has the absence of those things. I think that being opposite works, they work together in some way.” Carvalho’s photography comes from her work made at her studio and from family photographs. She has taken the photographs apart to add and exchange pieces, and sewn them together with needle and thread, she said. “I think a lot of my work is about disconnection in relationships and building something from that,” she said. “It’s about connection and disconnection at the same time. It’s also about the pieces it takes to create meaning, no matter how small. My theme is the essence that something carries in it. It includes what remains when things die or are discarded. It is the resurrection and rebirth of those things.” Carvalho said she has gotten more serious about pursuing photography as a “necessity” in the last couple years thanks to the efforts of UNM professors. “It is really rewarding to see my work displayed in a gallery. It’s what

We are all sort of influenced by imagery. The more images we have, the more influenced we are. It is so integrated into our culture. It is a part of how people communicate and how we understand the world we’re in.” Alkire’s sculpture is based on a piece he created last semester. It is made from plywood to create a cube with an actual tree. “It is rooted in our nature to put things together and organize things,” Alkire said. “There’s always an instruction manual way of thinking in our society. This piece is my misunderstanding of that. For me, the sculpture forces me to slow down and consider what is actually going on around us instead of just doing things without thinking.” The piece is the only sculpture Alkire will have on display at the gallery alongside Carvalho’s work. The piece took Alkire a few months to finish, he said. “Having this piece in the gallery allowed me to actualize my idea,” Alkire said. “It was important for me to have it displayed because it forced me to be critical and specific with the art. I’ve really stepped up to convey my idea and create what was in my head.” He said art is very diverse and depending on the idea. You must select the proper medium in order to convey it. “I chose to convey this idea for this particular project with a sculpture because it needs to be three dimensional to show a constant

their experiences in teaching,” he said. “They can get ideas to take into their classrooms.” He said many professors may need to consider changing the traditional lecture-and-test methods. “A lot of students have gotten used to that passive intake of knowledge, but it doesn’t produce very much thinking,” he said. Many teachers picked up new
ideas from the presentations for more group work and technology incorporation, he said. The keynote speaker, the lunch and the full-day presentation cost about $5,000, Smith said.

Roger Boulay, director of the gallery, helped both students in putting together the show. “This particular show will show the work being made in the photography department in the undergraduate level,” he said. “It also shows that students who work in photography can branch into other media. They have the freedom to try other things, not just photography. It exemplifies the strength in the art and photography department.”

FROM THE WEB
The Daily Lobo started a new series Monday called “Roofless,” about the Albuquerque homeless population and the challenges they face. The first episode, “The face of homelessness,” by Andrew Beale, described Johnny’s struggles on the streets. Readers from DailyLobo.com discussed the issue: by ‘TDB’ Posted Tuesday “This is an excellent idea for a series. It’s too easy to see these people as anonymous. Keep up the good work.” by ‘David Wilson’ Posted Tuesday “There’s a very good chance when someone says they hear voices that they are schizophrenic. Without medication, he wouldn’t be able to hold down a job. It’s a shame the reporter here didn’t ask about mental health. My bet would be Johnny has been diagnosed but has refused treatment, which he could get through UNMH. Sadly, a majority of our homeless are in fact suffering from some form of mental health issue. This is a direct result of decisions made by the Reagan administration (along with similar policies adopted by Margaret Thatcher in the UK) to close down long-term mental health care hospitals and in his words ‘return these people to the care of the community.’ Well, closing the hospitals certainly saved a bunch of money, but overnight created a huge uptick in our homeless population. Very few schizophrenics are violent to themselves or others, but the net effect of Reagan’s policies was to increase street violence related to these individuals. Until we bring back residential community health care facilities for people like Johnny, they won’t get any help.” by ‘bleeding heart‘ Posted Tuesday “This character has been pulling this crap off since 1995 or so. I’ve seen him trying to steal backpacks and whatever else is left unguarded. He is a leech on the ass of society and I know for a fact many have tried to get him off the streets, but he keeps coming back to UNM. He’s a lifer and I don’t feel for him. He makes his decision for homelessness daily.” by ‘Drew’ Posted Tuesday “Andrew, this is an important focus for local journalism and your work is worthwhile. I would urge you to think very carefully about the portrayals of homelessness you are offering. You story choices will construct a ‘face’ for Albuquerque’s most marginal people in the minds of UNM students and staff, and also the wider community. Whilst Johnny is part of the story, it’s worth bearing in mind that his story and the sympathies and attitudes it provokes, may not be representative of a wider story. I know this is the first of a longer series, but my point would be to stress that ‘The face of homelessness’ may not always be accurately represented by those individuals you find wandering around campus and Nob Hill. Dig deep.”

Mayor thinks he can kill property crime by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
It’s no secret that property crime is common around UNM, and Mayor Richard Berry is not happy about it. Berry said he is planning to tackle the property crime problem and unveiled his plan to do so January. “Eight out of 10 crimes committed in Albuquerque are property crimes,” he said in a Daily Lobo interview. “We simply want to make sure that Albuquerque is not a place to be a criminal. This property crime initiative is a way for us to go out, be active and work with the community on this issue.” The University area presents unique opportunities to criminals, said UNMPD Spokesman Robert Haarhues. “On campus, criminals have assurances that these people are going to be gone for at least an hour for class,” he said. “Also, we have parking lots full of cars. We get a lot of cars stolen from here because they know we have parking lots that are kind of distant and remote.” Student Kathleen Kelley had her bike stolen eight months ago. She said it makes sense that students are trying to steal because students are
often struggling to pay for tuition, books and housing. “Students are poor and a lot of them are going to steal if they get the opportunity,” she said. “It was right outside my house locked up and then it was gone. I was pissed but at the same time it was a $35 Craigslist bike, so I didn’t really care too much. I bought a cheap bike, locked it up with a cheap Wal-mart lock and somebody clipped it. It was kind of expected.” Berry said using Twitter as an alert system for stolen cars will allow the younger population to participate in ridding the city of crime. “We’ve got hundreds of thousands eyes and ears in the city of Albuquerque, if we can disseminate the information when a car is stolen or when there has been a crime it will have a positive effect,” he said. “We are going to take all the new technology out there and put that in peoples’ hands, so we are not only going to have the 1,100 police officers we have in Albuquerque but we are going to have everybody else out there with their eyes and ears open as well.” Being smart about protecting your property is the best means of preventing property crime, Haarhues said. “We have a lot of people who leave valuables in their car,” he said. “Don’t
leave your gym bag, your purse or anything of value in there. Make sure you lock your doors and don’t leave your laptops and other items laying around.” Kelley also said her friend’s bike was stolen. “My neighbor got her bike stolen right in front of her,” she said. “It was midday and she had just locked up her bike when this guy came up, clipped her lock and took it. It was broken and he was running down the street holding it up because he couldn’t ride it. She yelled ‘You can have it, it’s broken!’” Berry said he hopes his plan will dissuade criminals from attempting any crime in the first place. “It comes down to this: If you want to steal a car in Albuquerque, we want this to be a bad place for you to do that,” he said. “We want you looking over your shoulder.” The overall theme of the property crime issue is awareness and taking an active role in ensuring the city’s safety, Berry said. “This is a great city. It’s a city where you don’t have to be afraid to be outside, to be Downtown, to be out and about,” he said. “But always know where you are and know the circumstances that you are in.”
Win from page 1 Feeling the energy of The Pit crowd, he started off the game by scoring six of the Lobos’ first eight points, all of which came with Hobson penetrating the lane and putting up easy layups against a suspect Wyoming defense. However, Hobson said it’s not about individual effort against the Cowboys.
“It was just important for us to keep getting better. It wasn’t really about coming out and putting the hammer down,” he said. “We wanted to come out and play with the same effort that we have for the past eight games. We just wanted to play as ourselves and play hard.”
Berry’s plan to reduce property crime: -Seeking federal prosecution for property crimes involving firearms. -Fingerprinting everyone who is arrested no matter how small the crime. -Dispatching crime scene investigators to every burglary. -Offering cash incentives for people who turn in property crime offenders. -Tracking property crime offenders who are out on probation. -Developing a system that allows pawn shops to track stolen property.
-Sending out mass e-mails to the community. -“Tweeting” every car that is stolen. -Creating a public database that can be accessed through smart phones providing information on stolen vehicles. -Improving enforcement of the Three Strikes Law. -Creating a night detective squad to respond to property crimes in the evening hours. -Advertising wanted property crime offenders on billboards and in newspapers.
Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Darington Hobson descends after absorbing a foul and converting a difficult shot Wednesday at The Pit. Hobson’s 20 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists lead the Lobos to an 83-61 victory over Wyoming.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Planes without engines soar under the cerulean expanse and o’er the rocky desert of Moriarty. It’s not magic, or so says Rick Kohler, a glider pilot with over 7,500 hours in the cockpit. Kohler owns Sundance Aviation Inc., a company that offers glider rides as well as training for those looking to become pilots. “The allure of flying without an engine and being able to harness mother nature’s energy and use those different types of updrafts to stay aloft and actually fly cross country and that sort of thing always appealed to me,” he said. “There’s a certain purist element to flying gliders that you maybe don’t get with flying powered airplanes.” Gliders work by utilizing lift found naturally in the environment. While there are three types of lift, the predominant form found in the Southwest, which is used most often by glider pilots, is thermal lift. The sun heats the surface of the ground, certain areas absorb more sunlight and retain more heat, and heat the air above those patches more rapidly than surrounding areas, creating thermal updrafts. Gliders seek thermal updrafts to rise faster than the glider sinks. This lift is best found in the afternoon because of the sun’s heating patterns. Kohler said thermals are present year round, but they are the strongest during the summer. “The primo days are ... when you see a grid mark of cumulus clouds high with the flat bottoms and not a lot of vertical development on them, what we call fair-weather cumulus clouds,” he said. “You know it’s going to be great soaring that day because every one of those clouds is marking a thermal. That’s when all the glider pilots converge in Moriarty because they want to go and jump into that stuff.” Another type of lift is a wind current, which one should be cautious of. Elevation limits soaring controls and countless geological factors have to be kept in mind while gliding, Kohler said. Susan Gregory, a recent graduate of Kohler’s school, said flying in a glider requires constant attention. “Being in a glider you have to be much more in tune with your environment,” Gregory said. “It’s all
Sundance Aviation Glider Flight For more informartion please vist www.SoarSundance.com
about being in harmony … with the environment. There’s no such thing as autopilot. You are flying every single second in a glider.” Kohler said most people can learn how to fly and that collegeage students without flying experience could probably get their gliding license with about 35 flights and 12 hours in the cockpit. Less than 1 percent of people are incapable of learning to fly, he said. “There are certain individuals who just can’t put it together,” he said. “It may have something to do with depth perception or spatial orientation. They may not just be real good that way … One in thousands that I have met couldn’t learn to do it.” Kohler said the biggest deterrent to would-be flyers is the cost and time commitment rather than the skill requirement. A new flyer can expect to spend about $3,000 to $5,000 to become licensed. He said it’s worth it in the end. “Every spare penny I had went into the kitty for the glider rating,” he said. “You can do it, and unless you’re made out of money, you’re going to have to sacrifice something to do it. Time and money — that’s what it takes.” For those without those resources, Kohler said people are welcome to watch the gliders in action. Gregory said the gliding community was instrumental in helping her learn how to fly. “It feels like quite an accomplishment, but as someone said to me yesterday, ‘Now you have a license to learn,’” she said. “It really is just the beginning because now I am going to start learning what I need to do to do really long cross-country flights. I need to learn a lot more about weather, and I need to learn a lot more about thermaling. This really is just the beginning.”

Italian Film Festival hopes to reel in students by Evan Bobrick Daily Lobo
You don’t have to go to Italy to be immersed in Italian language and culture. Instead, you can go to the 4th Annual New Mexico Italian Film Festival that began on Sunday. The festival is usually held over the course of one week, with film screenings such as “Gomorrah,” and, “100 Nails,” at multiple theaters around Albuquerque, such as the Guild Cinema. It ends with a closing gala that includes a dinner at Scalo Northern Italian Grill on Feb. 21. The only problem, Ronaldo Patrizio-Steiner, the festival’s chief organizer said, is getting students to attend. “It’s been a bit disappointing in the past,” he said. “Maybe they’re just too busy during the week. But I think that anyone interested in language will find something to excite them, and the city as a whole is really embracing it.” All of the ticket revenue is going directly to UNM Children’s Hospital, Patrizio-Steiner said. Sponsors such as Saggios Restaurant, Scalo, Albuquerque The Magazine, and Local IQ help to support the film festival, he said. The past three Italian Film Festivals in Albuquerque have collectively raised $80,000, and he said he hopes to see the event reach a wider audience. “I think it could become an international festival,” he said. “I’d like to enlist some other people to make the organization grow. We’ve grown

in attendance, but we’ve also grown artistically. We originally used to do only classic movies. Now, most of our movies are contemporary.” Included in this year’s lineup is the Italian crime film, “Gomorrah,” by Matteo Garrone. It won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008. Roberto Benigni’s 2005 “The Tiger and the Snow,” a romantic comedy set amidst the Iraq War, is also playing. The festival also features a handful of classics. No Italian film festival would be complete without famed director Federico Fellini, whose “The White Sheik” from 1952 will run Saturday. The film showing for the closing gala will be “Boccaccio ‘70” from 1962, a collection of four short films, each directed by an Italian master of cinema including Fellini and the great neorealist, Vittorio de Sica. Patrizio-Steiner’s favorite of the 2010 selection, however, is the relatively unknown “100 Nails,” screening at the Guild

‘Dead Man’s Cell Phone’ evokes modern sense of loneliness by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
“Dead Man’s Cell Phone� deals with the most important question regarding the afterlife: What happens to our cell phone after we pass on? The play is the theatre department’s first production this semester and promises a healthy dose of realists, surrealists and dark comedy, said director Kristen Loree.
“I found this play a couple of years ago when I was at a conference in Denver and bored,� Loree said. “So I went to a bookstore, pulled it off the shelf, stood there and read the entire thing. I was like, ‘Hmm, I think I like this play.’ I was just enthralled with the way this play takes us from the real into the surreal and back down again into the real.� “Dead Man’s Cell Phone,� written by Sarah Ruhl, focuses on Jean and how she acquired a cell phone from
a dead man. It chronicles what happens as Jean discovers that the man whose cell phone she stole was an organ trafficker. Loree said the play focuses on cell phones and their impacts on communication and the human psyche. “There’s a lot of interest in cell phones and the quality of relationships that comes from cell phone conversations, or the lack thereof, which maybe is a more important theme,� she said. “There’s a lot of ly-
ing that happens in this play. Lying into a cell phone because they can’t see you, they don’t know who you are, you can tell them whatever you want.â€? The play, originally produced in 2007, features an ensemble cast not present in most renditions of the play. She said adding more bodies on stage gives the play psychological depth. “The play is about how people solve their loneness issues,â€? she said. “Jean is a very lonely and not a terribly exciting human being at the beginning of the play. There was this sense in all of the scenes that was like we couldn’t just have two people on stage because we won’t notice they are lonely because there’s nothing to compare it to. I have these eight bodies that I can utilize to fulfill the rest of the story and so we have been having a really good time filling out the story and seeing how that plays itself out just by having other bodies on the set.â€? Lead actress Rachel Corona said because Jean’s character is so introverted she had to focus more on the physicality of her performance. “She’s very interior,â€? Corona said. “So for me, it’s very important physically to be still. So I focus a lot on her body and where she holds her power and where she holds her weakness. She begins very uncertain, very unsure of herself and as the play progresses ‌ she becomes more confident in herself, and so you see a physical transformation as well as a mental transformation. So she goes from very timid and very nervous to more solid and more powerful. Watch her hands. All of Jean’s nerves come out in her hands.â€? Corona added that the uncertainty of Jean’s character proved difficult to capture. “She’s very indecisive, and it’s hard to play an indecisive character without seeming like you’re not

“Dead Man’s Cell Phone� UNM’s Theatre X Opens Friday, runs thru Feb. 28 7:30 p.m. $10 General Admission, $7 Students making choices,� she said. “Sometimes, I worry that the choices that I am making for the character are going to look like I, as the actor, don’t know what I am doing.� In addition to the ensemble and specialized lead performance, Loree said the play also features live music. “I am a pretty strong believer in live music,� Loree said. “What I love about that is then the music is seamless. There’s just absolutely no question that this is the music for the play.� Composer Tom Monahan said the music helps the words say what the actors cannot. “Basically what I do is go to all the rehearsals,� he said. “When you look at it on paper it’s very flat. There are no dynamics behind the words. When they get to the scene in rehearsal, I get the sense of where I need to go from an emotional perspective and then translate that into the music.� Monahan also said the play’s direction for film noir music left something to be desired. “Basically I interpreted that and went with my own version of what I think film noir is,� Monahan said. “What we are trying to do is combine film noir with comedy because it’s a dark comedy. It’s basically film noir as a background and a little sprinkling of old-fashioned jazz.�

Cinema Saturday. “It’s beautifully filmed and it was nominated for six or seven Donatellos (the Italian Oscars). As far as I know, this is a national premiere,� Patrizio-Steiner said.
