Subway won’t accept cash past 8 due to robberies by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
If you can’t get a Subway sandwich after dark, blame the city’s crime rate. The Subway at the corner of Girard Boulevard and Central Avenue has stopped accepting cash after 8 p.m., because it has been robbed twice since the beginning of the year, store owner Leticia Bernal said. Sandwiches can still be purchased by credit card at night. “We stopped accepting cash after the second robbery, because it’s never worth it to put my customers and employees at risk,” she said. “We are concerned with the safety of customers and staff, and it’s never worth it for
someone to get hurt over money.” Bernal said the store was robbed on Jan. 15 and again on Feb. 12. She said neither robber was caught, even though the store is under 24-hour surveillance. “The cops were never able to find the guys, even though we gave them the tape,” she said. Night Manager Kenny Goodhart, who was present for the second robbery, said he called the police while the robber was still in the store. “He knew I had a key to the register, so he gave me two minutes to go get it. I walked around the corner and called the cops right away and told them this guy was in the store with a gun,” he said. “They were trying to get
a description of him when he came around the corner and started waving the gun in my face.” Goodhart said the police showed up quickly, but they were unable to locate the perpetrator. “The cops did a search like no other. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many cops on the block,” he said. “A detective came and showed pictures (of possible suspects) to another employee who was here, but he couldn’t verify that it was the guy. He was wearing a mask.” Goodhart said the first robber took around $2,000 from the store but the second one only got about $80. He said the robber pulled a gun on him at the second robbery.
“He walked straight through the door,” he said. “I didn’t snap what was happening at first — sometimes you don’t get it right away with something like that. It registered after a minute. He walked up to the register and pulled his shirt up and he had a gun. “The other guy there working just opened up the register so he’d get the gun out of my face.” Goodhart said he suspected that it might have been the same person who robbed the store twice. UNM student Nathan Montano said the police aren’t doing enough to keep the area around the University safe. “It’s obviously not safe, since it’s
Greek Week mixes competition with philanthropic spirit by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
UNM’s fraternities and sororities are shaking off the winter blues with some old-fashioned philanthropy. This year’s Greek Week is Disney-themed and benefits Best Buddies New Mexico, Watermelon Mountain Ranch and the Albuquerque Rio Grande Zoo. Alex Roark, organizer of the event, said the week provides an incentive for Greek collaboration. “Greek Week is just one of the only times out of the whole year where the entire Greek community gets together to do several events,” she said. “The main focus of it, of course, is raising money for whatever organization we choose.”

The houses’ combined effort for a week allows for a significant change, said Tess Goering, public relations committee chairwoman. “Throughout the year, we all contribute in separate ways with our own philanthropy and our own projects, and I think, during Greek Week, part of the biggest focus of the week is really coming together,” she said. “It’s 500plus people joining to make a difference in our community because we can. Our contributions are magnified when we all come together as one great big community’.” Goering said Best Buddies was selected because it’s a new nonprofit mentoring organization. Tim Mousseau, head of the community service committee, said 500 volunteers from

The second contender for the School of Engineering’s dean was on campus Monday to outline his intentions for the school, whose dean stepped down in July. Patrick O’Shea, University of Maryland’s chairman of Electrical and Computer Engineering, held two forums with students, faculty and staff. O’Shea said he would focus on increasing the department’s exposure to attract donors and increase national ranking. “The key thing when it comes to department ranking is simply making sure department chairs respect and recognize the things that are going on,” he said. “Celebrate our successes, advertise our successes and invite people from other institutions to see all the beautiful things that are going on here.” Student Josh Goldman said he came to the forum in the Centennial Engineering Building to put his 2 cents in about the dean candidate and was impressed with what he saw. “He was well-spoken and enthusiastic,” he said. “He seemed qualified to me, and I thought he had good ideas about improving our ranking.” Funding is a crucial component of a successful university, O’Shea said. “Money is critically important to success, and resources are critical,” he said. “If you look at all the great universities in the world, they did not become that way on accident. They became great because

I wouldn’t like to catch myself walking around here at night, like if I lived in the dorms or something.� Bernal said she hired an off-duty police officer to watch the store. She said she thinks the robberies may have started as a result of the closure

of the Blockbuster store next door. “We’ve never had an issue with robbery in the last decade, and I think that when Blockbuster was open and with the bright lights, it provided us some security,� she said. Goodhart said he’s not sure why there were two robberies in such a short time, but he thinks the criminals might have been motivated by drug addiction. “We get kind of dead after a while,
but this isn’t something we would expect,� he said. “Tweakers do what they do to get their cash, I guess.� Goodhart said there’s been only one other incident of theft in the two years he’s been working there. “We got robbed once by a midget,� he said. “He just jacked our tip jar. He must have been the fastest midget alive, though, because we couldn’t catch him. We ran outside and he was gone.�
we helped make sure Albuquerque keeps its zoo.� The week will wrap up with the Greek Olympics and awards in celebration of the philanthropic achievements, Roark said. “The games vary from tug-of-war to trivia games, and people get really into it and dress up,� she said. “In addition to awards for the games, there are also awards for the entire year. All the work that was done for the 2009 year will be recognized and
awarded for every chapter.� Greek Week relieves unnecessary tensions between the houses for a good cause, said Travis Maestas, philanthropy chairman of the event. “Sometimes there is so much competition within the Greek community,� he said. “This kind of allows for friendly competition, but it also allows for the community to come together as a whole over community service.�

someone donated large chunks of money.� UNM should focus on acquiring funding by earning it with innovative thinking and drive, O’Shea said. “We cannot expect the state to all of a sudden dump a large amount of money into the University,� he said. “One way of getting funds is to get donors to give us money, but that’s not that simple. Rich people are not just interested in giving us money. They don’t just give it away. We have to actively engage the donors with the sense of mission, with the sense of vision, with the sense of leadership that says, ‘If you give us $10 or $20 million, this is what we are going to do with the money to make this
a great institution.’� Money is only one element of a university’s success O’Shea said, and teaching is another critical piece. “One of the characteristics of a great university is great teachers and great research,� he said. “Our core mission is the education of the students.� Student Ling-Tzu Wang is in the process of deciding whether to go to graduate school at UNM. “I came because I am a graduating senior in the fall, and I’m just curious to see what the dean candidates can bring to the School of Engineering and how it could affect me as an alumni, if I was to graduate from UNM,� she said. “I wanted to see what benefits I

Letter GPSA is here to serve you, and that’s just what it does Editor, I recently learned that law students are deliberating whether the UNM School of Law should secede from the Graduate and Professional Students Association. The main argument seems to be that the GPSA has deviated from its main role: Namely, that we’ve taken controversial positions on issues that are none of our business and, therefore, roles intended for us have suffered. The argument goes on to say that the GPSA should mind its own business and take care of the basic functions for which we were created. To this I respond that we’re performing the basics extremely well and that our business is what our constituents tell us it is. Our office is open during regular hours every school day, most nights and some weekends. It is where we come for help with our everyday needs — a place of camaraderie where peers help peers every day because our mostly volunteer staff is made up entirely of graduate and professional students. It is a place where we can come to use computers, print for free, fax, scan, make copies, heat food and drinks, work in groups, enjoy a bag lunch, hold meetings, or just hang out. Last month the GPSA Council allocated $6,700 to buy a new printer to replace one that is falling apart from printing one too many term papers. Our grants committees have been doing a professional job of distributing funding to dozens of needful and deserving graduate and professional students while converting the cumbersome paper grants process to a more streamlined online system. Last month, the GPSA Council allocated $15,000 to hire professionals to complete the conversion process. Led by two brilliant grants committee chairs, dozens of volunteer readers — myself included — are evaluating 135 more grant applications right now. Many hands make light work. Another role of the GPSA is to represent graduate and professional students at the Board of Regents’ meetings and subcommittees. When President Lissa Knudsen, our official representative, cannot make a meeting, I can usually cover for her. In addition, she has appointed many graduate and professional students to represent their peers at various important advisory boards throughout UNM. Our GPSA legislative advocates have successfully lobbied the New Mexico State Legislature to keep tuition down, fund student bus passes and keep the all-important graduate student grants funded. In addition, they champion causes graduate and professional students tell them are important, like domestic partnership, expanding our Children’s Campus and creating a better, more transparent and shared governance at UNM. It has always angered me when anyone or any group tells a representative body what is or isn’t within its purview in an attempt to stifle the voice of the people. I’ve heard this said of a city council that “signed” the Kyoto Protocol and a county commission that denounced a Supreme Court ruling on the legality of using eminent domain powers for economic development purposes. What these would-be usurpers of our First Amendment right of free speech via the megaphone of an elected, general-purpose representative body do not understand is that the purview of said body is only bounded by the wishes of the body’s constituents. So it is with the GPSA Council and its representatives. As their elected chairman, I’m proud to say that they really listen to the concerns of their constituents and act accordingly. The plain proof is in the sometimes-heated discussions and in the success of our recent special election. Look at the results. Look at the huge turnout. Can anyone say that we’re not doing what our constituents are asking of us? Isn’t that what democracy and self-governance is all about? Danny Hernandez GPSA council chairman
Letter Middle East peace coalition strongly disagrees with Israel Editor, What is the Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East-UNM? In fall 2009, a group of UNM students angered by the December 2008 Israeli attack on Gaza formed the Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East. The CPJME is a student-chartered organization working to broaden the dialogue around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to include the Palestinian perspective, whose viewpoint is pivotal to understanding the entire conflict. We strongly disagree with the Israeli government’s policies of human rights abuses against the Palestinian people of Gaza and the West Bank. Some of Israel’s violent policy acts include — but are not limited to — house demolitions, illegal building of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, the uprooting of olive tree groves and other countless abuses. Members of CPJME believe the actions and policies of the Israeli government do immense harm to the Jewish people and give Judaism a bad name. These actions also do immense harm to the reputation of the United States, which, by supporting these actions, is complicit in Israel’s ongoing violation of international humanitarian law. CPJME is pro-human rights and against
the denial of human rights everywhere. As advocates for equality and human rights, we strive to protect the future for both Palestinians and Israelis. Last semester, CPJME held educational events including a talk by an ex-Israeli soldier, Micha Kurz. The group also showed a series of films aimed to raise awareness about the 62year history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the occupation. In the coming months and ongoing future, the UNM Coalition will continue its education and raising awareness efforts with panels, speakers, films and other events. The group also has a weekly information table (every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) in the SUB basement. The University is a learning institution that supports all students’ First Amendment rights and that also encourages engagement in dialogue around issues such as the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) international campaign that calls for the nonviolent protest of Israel’s blatant human-rights abuses of the Palestinian people. In 2005, more than 170 Palestinian coalitions, unions, refugee groups, human rights and social justice groups put out a call to the international community for “boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel until it complies with international law and the universal principles of human rights.” This worldwide campaign was inspired by the South African struggle against apartheid, which was the racist policy of segregation
instituted by the primarily white government of South Africa. From 1948 to 1994, the South African government curtailed the rights of its black residents. Today, the BDS campaign against Israel is actively supported by international and national faith-based groups, human-rights organizations and other nongovernmental organizations. Several local Albuquerque groups also actively support this campaign. The UNM Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East supports the local BDS community. Several current and former UNM students, along with other members of the UNM Coalition, are participating in this ongoing campaign. We are for the human rights of all — including Palestinians. The Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East-UNM will present a spring events series addressing the Israel-Palestine issue. Two Palestinian journalists, Ziad Abbas and Mohammed Omer, are scheduled to speak at UNM from March 30 to April 8 in the Student Union Building on the UNM campus. In addition, a series of films, with audience discussion, on the effects of the occupation on both Palestinians and Israelis, will be shown April 4-5 in the SUB Theater.

Ro Martinez gets ready to take his last run into Pit by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Roman Martinez wasn’t supposed to be a part of such a special season. In his senior year, the UNM men’s basketball team was picked to finish fifth in the Mountain West Conference. Repeating as MWC regular-season champs seemed to be long shot and an NCAA Tournament berth was almost out of the question. But the Lobos, with the help of Martinez’s leadership, have exceeded all expectations, marching to 27-3 overall and 13-2 in conference and earning the Lobos the No. 1 seed in the MWC Tournament in Las Vegas. Tonight, when the Lobos look to clinch the MWC regular-season title outright, Martinez will run down The Pit ramp one final time. “(It’s going to be) bittersweet, and it’s a privilege to play Wednesday night in a great facility with a great atmosphere — the best fans,” Martinez said. “Also, it’s kind of sad that it’s my last game here, but it’s going to be a great one and a lot of fun. I am going to take advantage of every moment out there.” In his four years, Martinez has filled the Lobos’ basketball coffers, turning in, arguably, one of the greatest careers in the 107-year history of the program. This will be his 100th career

start and his 31st straight of the season. He’s seventh all-time with 189 3-pointers made, having hit 83 3-pointers this season, and 11th in 3-point percentage (40.9). Among his other accomplishments, Martinez was voted to ESPN’s Academic All-American team this season, named MWC Player of the Week at season’s start and will likely be voted first or second-team AllMWC next week. With Saturday’s thrilling 83-81 win over BYU, Lobo head coach Steve Alford said Martinez cemented his legacy by winning in Provo, Utah, a place the Lobos hadn’t won since 2000. “There are not a lot of players that go through their four-year career and they end up winning in everybody’s
building,” Alford said. “He has won in every opponents’ building in the conference, and that doesn’t happen all the time. I didn’t do that in college. (I want to) present the championship trophy and cut down the nets, because that is something that doesn’t happen every year and that’s something Ro and I have talked about.” Still on Martinez’s mind, however, is earning his second MWC regularseason championship — an accomplishment which would make this season that much sweeter, he said. “This is really incredible and we are all on an incredible journey,” Martinez said. “I have said it before. We are playing really good right now, but we want to be great. And, if we want to do that, we are going to have to stay focused and hungry.”

Conference cliffhanger? Hardly. This could be perceived to be as listless as games come, the anticlimactic point in the season. And so, the UNM men’s basketball team follows arguably the best game in Mountain West Conference history, against BYU, with quite possibly one of the worst. At home – against, well, TCU, one of the conference’s doormats. Today’s game stands in stark contrast to the Lobos’ season finale a year ago. Then, UNM, having beat up on Utah at home, set the stage for a rousing season closer at Wyoming, where, in a squeaker, the Lobos came out victorious, 74-73, a share of the regular-season title at stake. This time around, the Lobos have already solidified an NCAA Tournament spot, the No. 1 seed in the MWC Tournament, and, pending today’s outcome against TCU, the MWC regular-season title, outright. Even so, Lobo head coach Steve Alford always thinks otherwise, eyeing possible implications in today’s showdown inside The Pit. “What we do from now to Selection Sunday will determine if we’re a two, three or four seed, in my opinion,� he said. “My opinion might not mean much, because we could end up being an eight seed.� That is, if they lose to the Horned Frogs, a frail-minded opponent despite entering Albuquerque off a come-from-behind win over Colorado State.

Reading the Cliff Notes of the season, TCU head coach Jim Christian said: “For us, any win is a huge step.� Well, good thing Zvonko Buljan, Alford’s best friend, is coming to town. In Buljan’s last appearance in The Pit, the temperamental forward, clashed with the Lobos. The rambunctious little rascal riled up The Pit throng. First, he tangoed – and we’re not talking about dancing – underneath the basket with forward Will Brown. Then, he encouraged fans to make ear-splitting noise while shooting a pair of free throws. To top it off, Buljan was called for an intentional foul on former Lobo forward Daniel Faris with seconds left in the game, drawing Alford’s ire. At game’s end, Alford shared some words of encouragement with Buljan, similar to the ones he shared with BYU’s Jimmer Fredette. Anyhow, the Lobos will look to punctuate the season with a netcutting session in The Pit and send lone senior Roman Martinez off properly. As always, Alford said, “We’ve been in here all year long talking about trap game, trap game, trap game and there’s been no trap game,� Alford said. “I trust them, and I have

Go Lobos!
the utmost confidence in them.� Which is more than Christian can say. When asked what it’d take to pull an upset inside the spine-tickling Pit, Christian remarked with a tablespoon dose of reality. “It’s going to take a couple guys on our team playing above their head and a couple guys on their team not playing as well,� he said. “From a basketball standpoint, we’re going to have to execute. The first game they got into us and we just turned the ball over carelessly.� In front of a fifth consecutive sellout, the Lobos have an opportunity to equal their most wins in a season with 28, a mark the team hasn’t reached since 1995. Point guard Dairese Gary said the Lobos will bedazzle their fan base. “It’s going to be a show,� he said. Just not one the Horned Frogs will want to watch. Further complicating the matter, Christian said, is the fact that every Lobo on the floor is dangerous. “It’s hard to lock in and say, ‘OK, we’re gonna take out this guy,’� he said. “I think those are game-time adjustments. If you catch one of their guys not having a particularly good night then you can give help.� And tonight, the Frogs will need as much as they can get.
