Future students may lose out on Lottery Lottery ticket sales dip to put NM State Lottery in debt; students may end up paying the price when funds run out
by Kallie Red-Horse kallie69@unm.edu
The Lottery Scholarship fund could run dry, and if the New Mexico Legislative Finance Committee’s prediction is correct, funds will dry up by 2014. The Lottery Fund continues to finance more students and pay more for each student because of tuition hikes. The number of students supported by the Lottery Scholarship has grown 28.5 percent since 2005, with 19,700 students receiving the aid. Student Financial Aid Director Brian Malone said UNM will decide how to move forward if the Lottery Scholarship is discontinued. “We are aware of the Lottery funding situation,” he said. “UNM actively works with the state to discuss and evaluate options for the future.” The committee predicted the Lottery Fund will be cut in half by fiscal year 2012 and will zero out in FY14. The NM State Lottery, which allocated 30 percent of its annual revenue to the Lottery Tuition Fund, is in debt, and declining ticket sales are partially to blame. Since 2006, the lottery profits have decreased $8 million.

Senator: Make synthetic pot illegal Faculty: Create dental “(Parents) might not know that their dept. children are getting by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
One state senator wants to outlaw synthetic marijuana in New Mexico. Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort (R-Sandia Park) introduced a bill that would ban synthetic cannabinoids and fine anyone caught using or selling it. Beffort said children’s safety is at stake. “(Parents) might not know that their children are getting high on harmlesssounding products like incense, potpourri and bath salts,” she said. “That high can lead to terrible complications. We want to protect our children and our communities. We need to ban these products and make their distribution and use illegal.” Synthetic marijuana is sold in smoke shops under the popular brand K2 Spice. The product came under fire after a report from New Mexico parole officers said parolees are using Spice to achieve a “legal high.” Critics also question the drug’s safety. Senate Bill 134 was sent to the Senate Finance Committee to determine its fiscal impact after it reached the Senate floor for a full vote. If the bill is passed, synthetic mari-

juana will be classified as a schedule I drug, which means it will fall into the same category as substances like heroin, marijuana and cocaine. The New Mexico Corrections Department said banning a new drug would create more criminal felony prosecutions that put more people in jail and on parole. The state might not be able to handle administrative costs associated with the increase of synthetic marijuana smokers in the criminal system. The NMCD said in a report to the Legislative Finance Committee that it was concerned the bill would create a criminal misdemeanor for anyone distributing and in possession of Spice. Student Jonathan Morgan said he disagrees with the state’s efforts to ban the product. “I think it’s sort of stupid they want to get rid of Spice,” he said. “But if they legalized real marijuana, then people wouldn’t have to buy the fake stuff.” Campus Safety The Senate passed a bill that would allow campus police to write traffic tickets for city traffic violations. S.B. 267 was sponsored by Sen. Steven Neville (R-Farmington) to help deter parking violations at San Juan College, located in his district. The bill would give campus police the authority to issue traffic violations at all New Mexico colleges. “I understand there are abuses of
handicapped parking spaces, and people are parking wherever they want, causing traffic problems,” Neville said. The bill passed the Senate 20-13, and now goes to the House for a vote.
high on harmlesssounding products like incense, potpourri and bath salts.” ~Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort
Neville said his bill will take burden off overstretched municipal law enforcement officers. “This bill will help the college get a handle on their parking situation on campus when city police are not available to ticket offenders,” he said. Scholarship bill extended to the Senate The Senate Judiciary Committee gave a do-pass recommendation to a bill that would allow high school graduates up to 16 months to apply for the Lottery Scholarship.

H.B. 62, sponsored by Rep. Bill O’Neill (D-Albuquerque) will now be voted on the by the full Senate. If passed, it will only need a signature from the governor to become law. The bill received unanimous support from the House of Representatives. Under current legislation, students who want to receive the Lottery Scholarship must apply to a public university immediately after high school graduation. Many UNM groups oppose extending the Lottery Scholarship because the Lottery Scholarship fund is slowly running out. No data has been compiled during this year’s legislative session that would confirm the bill would have a negative impact. Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas (DAlbuquerque) introduced a similar bill in 2007. That bill never made it out of committee, partly because of a study that said it would be bad for the Lottery Scholarship fund. The Legislative Finance Committee cited that study in a 2011 report on the current bill. “I understand the hurdles that came with that bill,” O’Neill said. “My constituents told me they wanted this, and I was fortunate that representative Moe Maestas allowed me to take over trying to extend the Lottery Scholarship to students who can’t attend college right away.”

The Faculty Senate unanimously approved a proposal to create a dental medicine department at UNM. UNM’s dental medicine programs are under the Health Science Center’s Department of Surgery but have grown large enough to need their own department, the proposal said. Most University Health Science Centers already have a dentistry department, UNM Chief of Dental Services Gary Cuttrell said. “We’re just bringing UNM’s health sciences up to the standard of most health science centers with a department of dentistry,” he said.

Government tries to control horse numbers by Matthew Daily Associated Press
WASHINGTON— The government said Thursday it will scale back costly roundups of wild horses that some critics contend are inhumane. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management will reduce the number of wild horses removed from the range by about one-quarter — to 7,600 per year. The agency also will expand the use of fertility controls and increase the number of animals adopted by individuals or groups. The bureau continues to oppose horse slaughter, which some in the West have advocated as a way to thin herds. The agency’s director, Bob Abbey, said the new plan was intended to ensure that viable herds of wild horses and burros remain on the nation’s public lands for generations to come. To improve the health of both horses and Western lands, officials need the help of private partners and must ensure that management decisions have a scientific foundation, Abbey said. The changes do not include a proposal that Abbey and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar floated in late 2009 to move thousands of wild horses to preserves in the Midwest and East, where they would graze on land unthreatened by drought and wildfires. The government would have established large horse ranches open to the public for tours and educational visits. The preserves would have cost at least $92 million to buy and build. The plan ran into bipartisan opposition in Congress and among the public. “It was very evident to us that the public did not like that idea and so we have dropped that from the strategy we are pursuing now,” Abbey told reporters in a conference call. The new approach comes a week after the House approved an amendment to cut the agency’s budget by $2 million to protest the roundups. The program’s annual cost has tripled over the past decade to $66 million. Annual costs are expected to reach at least $85 million by 2012.
Lottery
More than 38,000 wild horses and burros roam in Nevada, California, Wyoming and other Western states. An additional 40,000 animals are cared for in corrals and pastures in Kansas, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The wild horse program was created by Congress in 1971. It’s intended to protect wild horse herds and the rangelands that support them. Under the program, thousands of horses are forced into holding pens, where many are vaccinated or neutered before being placed for adoption or sent to long-term corrals in the Midwest. Animal rights advocates complain that the roundups — which sometimes include use of helicopters — are inhumane because some animals are traumatized, injured or killed. Ranchers and other groups say the roundups are needed to protect fragile grazing lands that are used by cattle, Bighorn sheep and other wildlife.
“(The current plan) is not economically sustainable and it is bad policy” ~Wayne Pacelle President, Humane Society of the United States Abbey said he knows the changes will not end controversy over the horse management program, but said they send an important message: “We will no longer kick the can down the road just because it is challenging.” Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, called the latest plan encouraging, but said the Obama administration needs to do more to reduce the number of horses rounded up and removed from public lands. The current plan “is not economically sustainable and it is bad policy,” Pacelle said.

Valero Manager Aaron Quick, who works at the gas station on Princeton Drive and Central Avenue, said daily tickets sales have been lower recently. He said only one high jackpot has been paid out since November, and high jackpots usually generate high sales. “Sales go up when the jackpot goes up,” he said. “A month or two ago, it was over $200 million, and I sold $900 worth in one day, so it really just depends on how large the jackpot is.” The national jackpot amount grows when no one predicts the Powerball number, Quick said. He said the money compounds until somebody hits the number. Student Chelsea Worthington said she depends on the Lottery Scholarship to fund her education. “Without the Lottery Scholarship, the vast majority of graduates from New Mexico high schools would be unable to afford degrees,” she said. “Many students will rely on loans, if they still attend school at all, which will potentially create even more financial hardship for the state.”
State senators are trying to find ways to keep the Lottery Scholarship afloat. Sen. Stuart Ingle (R-Dist. 27) introduced a bill that would freeze tuition increases for students on the scholarship throughout their time in college. The proposed legislation, Senate Bill 292, was unanimously passed by the Senate Education Committee and now must go through two more committees before reaching the Senate floor. CNM said in the S.B. 292 Fiscal Impact Report that the legislation would positively impact the Lottery Scholarship fund by reducing its expenditure rate increase. That would make the scholarship program financially viable for longer. Provided they don’t take a break, New Mexico high school graduates are eligible for the Lottery Scholarship for eight semesters with no repayment requirements. Sen. William Payne, (R-Dist. 20) introduced a bill that would allow students to wait a year or more before starting college and maintain their Lottery eligibility. Bill opponents contend it will jeopardize the scholarship’s financial viability.
Dental

elect Tim Ross said UNM should have a dentistry department because dental hygiene programs don’t belong under a surgery department. “There’s already a dentistry sciences program, and for years it’s existed under the Department of Surgery at UNM …,” he said. “But we also have dental hygienist training, and they really shouldn’t be under the department of surgery.” Ross also said the proposal is cost-neutral and won’t impact UNM’s budget. Giving the Division of Dentistry department status could attract much-needed faculty to the University’s dental program, the proposal said, and attract talented hygiene students and dental residents to the University. Cuttrell said he hopes a dentistry department will draw attention to UNM’s existing oral education services. “I think that a lot of people are unaware that UNM even has these dental services, so hopefully this will draw attention to that, too,” he said. The unanimous approval of the proposal shows that faculty understand the importance of UNM’s dental programs, Cuttrell said. “It goes to show the appreciation that people really do have for oral health education in New Mexico,” he said.

Who dictates NBA talent market? by Isaac Avilucea
managingeditor@dailylobo.com The NBA arms race is leading us down a path to Cold War. The leveraging of power between players and owners will inevitably lead to a standoff, and we all know what that means. In all likelihood, there will be a lockout before next season arrives. Look no further than Carmelo Anthony for confirmation. In refusing to sign a $65 million extension with Denver, Anthony steered which franchise he’d play for. At its root, the overhyped Anthony trade underlies a simple communal feeling among owners: Players have too much power over their billion-dollar, white-collar counterparts. When collective bargaining proceedings commence, owners will do all they can to halt the proletariat revolution and restore order to the system. Except this new phenomenon of player autonomy is just reinforcing the dominant capitalist system. The NBA’s soft salary cap, which enables big-market teams to pay a luxury tax, a penalty, to exceed arresting financial cap constraints, is forcing small-market teams to rethink the current bargaining agreement and take a hard look at what they’re losing out on. What exactly are they losing out on? The ability to keep financially excitable superstars tethered to their organizations. It’s a simple prospect: Financially strapped organizations are forced to pour most of their resources into a franchise player. But what happens when the team can’t fill out the roster because of a tight budget? And then it struggles through a grinding season in which the franchise player must overexert them-

Amare Stoudemire left the desert for the Garden in New York; and Chris Bosh ditched Toronto just in time to watch league MVP LeBron James saltily turn his back on Cleveland to “take his talents to South Beach.” And it hasn’t stopped. More recently, with the trade deadline approaching this year, teams spent the last few days speedily casting away superstars: The Jazz packed up All-Star point guard Deron Williams for Derrick Favors and Devin Harris; Anthony, the tortured Denver soul, got his Broadway wish at the expense of his reticent-to-leave compadre Chauncey Billups, and the two will team up with Stoudemire in New York. Bizarrely, in a system where the argument has been made that players represent nothing more than $60-million slaves, how is it they suddenly have so much gravity over franchises? Opt-out contract clauses have become the great social equalizer. Hostage-holding organizations have seen the tables flip. Now these organizations are painted into a corner where fear is omnipresent: They can either ship their superstars off and get something in exchange, or risk not resigning them when free agency rolls around, then losing them to a biggermarket team and recouping nothing for all the courting. Madison Avenue and Wall Street, symbols of what these corporate-modeled organizations can offer, have monopolized the player talent market. It is of little debate that in a society that champions true market value for corporate bigwigs and CEOs, players, too, should be entitled to this American value. But in the end, in this moneyball quest, mom-and-pop organizations are caught in a large-scale game of tug-of-war. And unless the arms race stops, the war is just starting.

selves to keep the organization treading above water? You guessed it. The franchise player uses the threat of free agency to force the team to upgrade talent or send the superstar to a more attractive destination. We saw Kobe Bryant do this in 2007 — with, of all organizations, the Los Angeles Lakers. Together with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees, the Lakers have never been an organization to skimp on acquiring talent, no matter the expense. Yet here was Bryant complaining to an amateur cameraman about the Lakers’ backdoor managerial maneuverings, how they refused to trade a young center in Andrew Bynum for veteran point guard Jason Kidd. Later, Bryant went on record demanding a trade, but later relented on the request. It’s of little coincidence that the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol less than a year later. And if you go back to 2007, that’s when the congregation of the NBA’s constellations formed. Finally, players started recognizing the free-trade market. Spawned when Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen departed their respective teams to team up with Paul Pierce in Boston, joining forces became an accepted ethos, and it has evolved into an unsettling trend that endures into the present. Parity strewn aside, the Celtics, thanks to the star-studded assembly, went on to win the 2008 NBA title — setting the foundation for a swift paradigm shift in professional basketball. Anticipating a future clash with the Celtics, the Lakers had enough foresight to acquire Gasol in February 2008, making them relevant again. Then there was the 52-card reshuffling during the summer of 2010, when the Jazz lost out on Carlos Boozer’s services to Chicago;
Center of the Universe used to have meaning, not garbage Editor, The “Center of the Universe,” Bruce Nauman’s art piece outside Ortega Hall, and reporter Alexandra Swanberg’s Feb. 23 Daily Lobo article really upset me. The “Center of the Universe” was one of my favorite art pieces at UNM, and the write-up about it was good as far as it went. “As it stands today, the structure extends in five directions and meets at right angles, implying a coordinate system,” the article said. “The
grate in the center acts as the hypothetical center of the universe.” But as it stands today, the piece isn’t the original concept or construction. Under the grate is a sixth tunnel that goes straight down. It was lighted to match the five other tunnels’ natural light. To walk over the thin grate and deep, lighted pit was a somewhat disturbing experience, especially for me since I have mild vertigo. But the fear of walking over the pit would make you look up and see a reassuring sky left and right, down again and then walk forward. In that moment that you stopped, you would think about your place in the vast universe. Leaves and trash blew into the pit. UNM wouldn’t clean out the trash and so it rose. But
rather than keeping the pit clean or placing a window under the grate, UNM changed the piece’s concept by screening the pit and turning the “Center of the Universe” into the funny little tunnel that it is today. No one looks down because there is nothing to see. No one looks up to a reassuring sky, and no one thinks about where you are in the universe. All of man’s works need a little care now and then, and it seems it would take so little (a 10foot square of plastic) to return this powerful work of art to its original concept and wonder.

ROADSHOW IS FILMING IN RIO RANCHO NEXT WEEK! By Jason Delong
STAFF WRITER Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because the Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to Rio Rancho. Roadshow experts are in town examining antiques, collectibles, gold and silver. While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1964, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category this week due to soaring gold prices.

The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it anyways and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold prrof sets and dental gold. Other types of items Roadshow exper ts hope to see include old toys and train sets. Archie Davis, the Roadshow’s toy expert, spoke about some of the top toys getting great offers. “Old tin wind-up toys from the late 1800’s through the 1960’s are in great demand right now,� said Davis, “especially those that are character related. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, the Flintstones or any other character toys are sought after. Old Buddy L toys from the 1920’s to the 1960’s are especially in high demand.� Basically any toys made before 1965 are wanted. Train sets made by Lionel, Americn Flyer, Marklin and others have the potential to fetch a large sum. Davis also stressed, “Toys with boxes and in mint condition bring sensational prices.

A chance to rebuild confidence by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
It could be worse for the UNM men’s basketball team. The Lobos, who have lost their last four Mountain West Conference games, head to Fort Worth, Texas, to face last-place TCU. The game should be a reprise from UNM’s recent downward spiral: TCU has won only one game in league play this season

DEADLINE: MARCH 11
(1-13 MWC). Head coach Steve Alford said his young guys are feeling the season’s strain. “They’ve had a tough go at it,� he said. “We just have to carry momentum forward and be able to make some plays late.� As of late, the only one making plays has been Dairese Gary. He had a career-high 26 points in a 77-74 overtime loss to UNLV. Gary said the Lobos will need to play 40 minutes of strong basketball against TCU, or else they won’t win again. “It’s just a matter of putting an entire game together,� he said. The Horned Frogs are led by guard Hank Thorns. Last Saturday in a loss to BYU, Thorns dished out 12 assists. He is one of only five players in the country with multiple 10-assist games. He leads the MWC in assists and is ranked sixth nationally. UNM’s post players are the only others who have been remotely productive. Against UNLV, forward Drew Gordon had 15 points and 14 rebounds. He averages a double-double during MWC play. But Gary and Gordon can’t carry the Lobos by themselves. In order for the Lobos come out strong against TCU, they will need production from starting underclassmen Kendall Williams and Tony Snell. They saw considerable time on the court against
UNLV, but Williams passed up open shots to get the ball into other players’ hands. Snell had no points and hasn’t found the outside shooting touch that made him a threat in earlier conference games. Out of the four freshmen who saw action against UNLV, Williams was the only player who produced, scoring six points. Alford said he hopes his six underclassmen have not hit a lateseason wall. “It’s the pressure of the situation,� he said. “They’re part of a program that has had a lot of success over the past three years, and all of a sudden you start losing a couple and you feel it. That’s part of it, but as coaches we have to help them make plays and get confidence.� And regaining that confidence could start with TCU.

This time it’s the quarterback coach who has been sacked. UNM assistant coach David Reaves is accused of violating NCAA regulations while he was coaching at the University of Tennessee in 2009. Tennessee received a letter from the NCAA on Wednesday that the university violated NCAA recruiting regulations. Reaves is mentioned only once by name in the report, but Tennessee blacked out portions of the report, including parts that could have discussed Reaves. Reaves stands accused of requesting that unknown persons make impermissible telephone contact with Tennessee recruits. Widely circulated reports allege that Reaves failed to alert Tennessee officials of improper recruiting contacts made by Orange Pride, a now-defunct group of female UT students. Orange Pride escorted recruits who made on-campus visits. Athletics Director Paul Krebs said in a statement that UNM is aware of the NCAA allegations. “We are in full cooperation with the NCAA and will take the appropriate actions based on the findings,� he said. “We understand the
severity of NCAA sanctions and the importance of operating under the rules and regulations.� Reaves was the quarterback coach under former UT head coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin, who coached Tennessee for one season, bolted to the University of Southern California and received a separate notice from the NCAA with his own allegations. The NCAA said that Tennessee’s basketball and football programs committed recruiting violations and failed to promote agreement of NCAA rules within both programs. The decision came after a 22month investigation of the Tennessee athletics program. The NCAA notified the school that its coaches and assistants violated 12 rules. Tennessee has until May 21 to respond to the allegations and is expected to appear at a Committee on Infractions meeting in June. The NCAA will make a final decision after the infractions conference, and any sanctions likely would come several weeks after that.
