Center offers tips on campus safety by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
Personal safety has been a hot issue on campus since the Feb. 15 stabbing, and the Women’s Resource Center wants to show students how to kick crime in the face. The WRC is hosting a self-defense presentation Monday to inform the UNM community how to stay safe. Summer Little, WRC program manager, said it’s in people’s best interest to know how to protect themselves. “Safety is everybody’s responsibility. We all owe it to ourselves to do

It is in everybody’s consciousness because of the recent incidences.” Student Kenzie Walters said she is considering attending the presentation to learn how to
protect herself. “I really did used to feel safe on campus, but now I don’t,” she said. “I have African dance until 7:50 in Carlisle every night, and I guess the stabbing happened really close to there around that time. Since then, I’ve been kind of freaked out and I make sure I have someone walking with me wherever I go past 7.” Students should get as much information on protection as possible, WRC Director Sandrea Gonzales said. “Information is power, and all of
Three NMSU-Dona Ana Community College professors made the trip to Albuquerque Thursday to attend “The ‘Crisis’ in Higher Education” forum. Olga Viramontes, arts and humanities professor, said they wanted to see what UNM faculty is doing to organize and how they can do the same. About 40 people filled the SUB Acoma A and B rooms to listen to the presentation sponsored by UNM’s American Association of University Professors Interim Council. According to an AAUP flier handed out at the meeting, the chapter addresses faculty concerns coming from the academic workplace. Stephen DeGuilio, college assistant professor at NMSU-DACC, said DACC’s president, Margie Huerta, announced to the Faculty Council on Feb. 23 they were going to eliminate 50 faculty and 55 staff members. “She announced the present situation at NMSU and qualified it by saying that the budget wasn’t finalized yet, but it could be worse,” he said. “There was no mention of

On March 15, the Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition will close until November, taking with it about 200 available beds for the homeless. Continuing the “Roofless” series about homeless problems in Albuquerque, I spoke with homeless services throughout the city to discover how this closure will affect them, as well as to learn what kinds of services they provide and what UNM students can do to help.

shortage of funds.” Steve Ludington, English and communication professor at NMSU-DACC, said this problem seems to be nationwide. Les Field, UNM anthropology professor, said the meeting was intended to reorganize the AAUP chapter, which fizzled about three years ago. He said 50 people met last spring to restart the chapter. “We have an interim council, and we need to move to the next stage, which is to elect officers,” he said. “We need to have participation and organization responding to the crisis.” Thursday’s forum took place on the National Day of Action to Defend Education, which is a national day of protest initiated by the University of California in an effort to protect public education in K-12 and higher education, said Alex Lubin, American studies associate professor. “Crisis can refer to a budget cut, but it can also refer to a plan to restructure education in the public sector as a whole,” he said. “Our concern is both the ways that the financial crisis impacts all of us in higher education … and also how the crisis can be used to reimagine and

Shelter services Jeremy Reynalds, CEO and founder of the Joy Junction homeless shelter, said that when the Westside Shelter closes, Joy Junction will see more people asking for beds than it can accommodate. “In a nutshell, what’s happening is for four months a year, the City of Albuquerque funds a shelter in the old Westside jail. It can hold about 200 people,” he said. “When it closes, on March 15, people come to us. We have to turn away these people onto the increasingly dangerous streets.”

Reynalds said Joy Junction may have to turn away 15 to 25 people a night. He said Joy Junction has no way to accommodate people left out in the cold when the shelter closes. “There’s nothing we can do. Nothing. We’ve asked the city what we can do to help them, but as an organization, we don’t have the space,” he said. Joy Junction gives substanceabuse counseling, provides 300 beds a night and serves 10,000 meals a month, Reynalds said, but the problem is increasing beyond its capacity to help. “If the economy keeps on as it does, we cannot handle the impact of that,” he said. Health care Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless does exactly what its name suggests. AHCH Development Officer Paul Brown said homelessness presents unique problems for health care providers, and AHCH works to solve those problems. “Not having a home greatly exacerbates health issues. Doctors need to understand how to respond to a patient without a home,” he said. “We have our own doctors who have become experts at it.” Brown said the Westside

Shelter closing can cause people to stay on the street for a longer period of time, which in turn may worsen their health. “We do have a few housing programs, but we’re not a shelter, so we’re not necessarily going to see a lot of overflow from that. It might cause people to live harder,” he said. Brown said medical students from UNM make good volunteers for AHCH, but the clinic is not accepting volunteers right now. He said students can help out by gathering donations of money or socks.

Children’s issues Cuidando los Niños is an Albuquerque-based shelter that focuses on children and families facing homelessness. Executive director Jaime Tamez said New Mexico has one of the largest populations of homeless families in the country. “It’s a crucial thing. We already
have a shortage of beds,” he said. “The National Center on Family Homelessness listed us at 47th out of 50 in the nation for child homelessness. Fifty is the worst.” Tamez said the program works to help homeless families by providing shelter, care and a learning environment for children and families. “We have an early childhood development center that serves 52 children a day. They’re here for one year after they enter. It’s only for families with children under 6,” he said. The organization has been
lobbying in New Mexico’s legislative session to secure more funds for children, Tamez said. “The issue is that there’s something fundamentally wrong with what the state is doing,” he said. “On one hand, the government is saying children are a priority. On the other hand, they’re cutting programs for children. People say they want to support those that need it most, but they’re cutting money.” Tamez compared the homeless situation in Albuquerque to the crisis in Haiti following the earthquake.
“In Haiti, there are 1.3 million homeless children after the earthquake. In the U.S., there are 1.5 million,” he said. UNM students can help by attending the New Mexico Summit to End Child Homelessness, on March 25 and 26 in Albuquerque’s Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. “(At the summit), we’ll be looking at how we can mobilize. The ultimate goal is to end child homelessness,” he said. “We’re not going to solve this independently. We need to come together.”

Gonzales said the center is a refuge for women in need. “We are still that place that people can come get a cup of tea, sit down,

Evaluating case evidence STOCKTON, Calif. — Police in California have launched an internal inquiry into a detective’s handling of the investigation into the killing of an 8-year-old Tracy girl whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase. In court papers filed last month,
Surgeon pleads not guilty HAMMOND, Ind. — An Indiana surgeon who was arrested on an Italian mountainside after more than five years on the run from the law has pleaded not guilty to fraud and malpractice charges.

the attorney for defendant Melissa Huckaby cited a prosecutor’s memo confirming the probe into whether her rights were violated. At issue are Huckaby’s comments to Detective Nate Cogburn on April 10 — comments used to obtain search warrant affidavits. Details weren’t disclosed in defense attorney Sam
Behar’s filing. If Huckaby’s rights are found to have been violated, Behar could ask to toss out key evidence against her. Police declined comment, citing a judge’s gag order. Sandra Cantu’s body was found April 6. Huckaby has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, rape and murder.
Dr. Mark Weinberger told U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul R. Cherry on Thursday that he would not seek bond. He also waived the reading of the 22 counts of health care fraud against him. The 46-year-old is accused of lying to patients about performing surgeries, including putting
patients under anesthesia and then not performing the promised surgeries. He was arrested in Italy in December after a mountain guide tipped off authorities that Weinberger was living in a tent with high-tech mountain survival gear.
“Academia was in a poor position to respond to the current economic recession,” she said. “There have been state cut backs and declines in corporate and private giving. They’ve done a lot of layoffs, furloughs, hiring and salary freezes, tuition increases, etc., increased teaching loads, deferred retirements.” Burris said it’s encouraging to see faculty waking up to defend the teaching and research missions of a university. Michael Mauer, director of AAUP organizing and services, said the state’s contribution to UNM’s revenue is less than 1 percent. However, enrollment figures increased by 6.7 percent totaling more than $8 million. “Where is that money going? Faculty salaries from 1995-6 to 2005-6 show a 5 percent increase in the U.S., but the University president has a 35 percent increase in salary,” he said. Mauer said that from 1976 to 2005, there has been an increase in full-time tenure nationally by 17 percent, but a 101 percent increase in
administration. “The core mission of a university is teaching students, and that has to be the first thing protected and the last thing cut,” he said. Lissa Knudsen, Graduate and Professional Student Association president, said she is looking toward the faculty to organize. “If the faculty are weak, if you guys aren’t organized, that affects us. We look to you,” she said. “If faculty can take those kinds of risks and show that you can’t get picked off, we will become more empowered.” Elisha Allen, Staff Council president, said the University is in dire need of moving forward from the things that separate faculty and administration. “Lack of engagement or inability to fully participate by any one of these groups has visible and measurable impacts on outcomes,” he said. “From a staff perspective, I fear the crisis in education is limiting the ability of staff to engage at the level needed for their university to be most successful.”

re-engineer the public university in ways that we think often harm students.” Beverly Burris, chairwoman of UNM’s sociology department, said at the forum that throughout her research in higher education, universities transitioning to a corporate structure haven’t worked. “I don’t think universities function very well as corporate, capitalist institutions,” she said. “I think it has not been a very easy relationship with the corporatization that comes into conflict with the traditional academic model.” Burris said higher education has been damaged by several factors. “Higher education has already been weakened by decades of reduced funding, by the fact that more than two-thirds of teaching faculty are now contingent faculty and that we have large and expensive administrations, high tuition and so on,” she said. Burris said it’s interesting to see the faculty is bearing the brunt of all of these measures.

LETTERS Eccentric fans hurl obscenities at UNM’s Greek recognizees Editor, It was great to be present for Wednesday night’s victory over TCU at The Pit. The game was exhilarating, the crowd was loudly cheering on our men in cherry and silver and a crowd rushed the floor when the victory was sealed at the final buzzer. All in all, you would think that this was a great experience for any Lobo to have. There was, however, a group of fanatics that made the game a bit less fun, and a whole lot more worrisome. You see, this week at UNM is Greek Week. As part of our annual tradition, the Greek community shows up for a game in force to support the Lobos and our organizations. I am lucky enough to be a member of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc., an organization that is based upon community service, academics and pride. Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and Lambda Theta Phi were invited to take part in a short recognition opportunity during half time because we have both been nominated for an award that recognizes outstanding student organizations. On our way back up to our seats in the stands, a member of Lobo Howl accosted us. Amongst the slew of curses that he screamed at us, he asked us where our “Lobo Red” was, and said we should not have shown up to the game because we were wearing our traditional brown and white Greek letter shirts. “How dare you!” he screamed. He was not the only member of his organization to taunt us and other members of the Greek system. Many fans said things like, “F*** these frat boys! I hate Greeks!” It was not a very good thing for us to hear, but we just kept our eyes on the game and did not respond. So, I ask you, does the fact that we attended a game wearing our letters with pride make us inferior Lobos? No. I have attended many games in the past wearing my Lobo Red, and I wouldn’t doubt that I have had a seat next to the very same people who were accosting and disrespecting us. Does the fact that I was not wearing my letters at those games make me an inferior Greek? No. So then, who would you rather have representing your university: a group of men who seek to better themselves and our community through dedicated service, or a cursing man with a clown face and a Lobo jersey? I don’t want to imply that all members of Lobo Howl are in favor of or display this type of behavior, as there were many who were focused on what we were really there for: to support our team, the University of New Mexico Lobos. I just hope that those members of the group who were out of line realize that individual behavior reflects upon the group as a whole, its leadership and its intentions. P.S. Go Lobos!

Axe: The apocalypse in an orgy
“I’ll keep talking and maybe you’ll just get it.”
by Chris Quintana
Assistant culture editor Guys, Axe makes girls want to play with your balls. It wasn’t clear enough with the commercial of a woman writhing around underneath leather covers. Or women biting large chunks off a chocolate man’s arm because he smelled so good. Or the flash mobs of women rushing into save men from bad hair and then stroking their arms appreciatively. No, those were too subtle, but I knew it with the latest threeminute commercial of Axe salesgirls cleaning balls. So let me just say it, so you and I both know and there’s no more confusion about this. Guys, Axe makes girls want to play with your balls. Girls, you may not know this, but it’s true. You see, what happens is the smell of Axe rattles your brain, sending you into a sort of waking coma hallucination type deal. It’s kind of like “The Matrix” but with less tubes and more goo. The rest of your day is spent leaping out off of balconies, under tables, hiding in
closets or around tight corners and cubicles raping men all day long. Though we all know with men it’s not really rape, but more like surprise sex. Surprise! OK, back to man things. When you’re getting yourself ready for your man day and applying Axe as necessary. Don’t forget that women, or as we so aptly refer to them, the pleasure machines, will only give you surprise sex if the smell of Axe on you overpowers that of all other guys. It’s kind of like male-to-male competition between elk. They fight with their antlers and whoever doesn’t get gored gets the girl, right? It’s the same thing with Axe: whoever doesn’t die of suffocation from faux pheromones reaps female rewards. Remember, dudes, you might be missing a lot of places where you can apply the Axe scent. How about our eyebrows? I am sure we could smooth a bit of Axe styling gel over them for added sexiness because whether or not a girl looks at you again depends on the arch of your brows. And how about on your fingernails? I suggest we make some form of a gel, or adhesive, maybe even a polish of sorts and coat our fingers with it so that women will be especially attracted to what our fingertips have to offer. And don’t forget your intestines — that whole area probably smells of digestion, when it could easily smell like Axe. My solution: Let’s add blocks of Axe deodorant to our food as a dietary supplement. It may be low in nutrition but at least now your bowel movements will smell sexy. With this much scent there’s no way someone won’t love us.
But we need to step back and consider something far graver than we could ever expect: What if the hot ones aren’t the only ones coming after us? What if those ones with the smaller breasts or smashed-in faces try to give us surprise sex? The commercials show us that only the pretty ones will find us, but we know better. We know all the pie faces, the anorexic and the tubby ladies are looking to get after our balls. So here’s some more solution: We spray our less-attractive friends with not only Axe, but Old Spice and Tag. This should attract all manners of ugly toward them, while the real hot women will radiate toward us. Yet, another thing troubles me. What if the gays are attracted to our bad-ass, sex-inducing smell? What do we do then? Let’s face it. Some of them are in better shape than us. If one of them should get their hands on us, well, then, that would just be wrong. That wouldn’t even be surprise sex anymore — that’d be rape, and rape’s wrong. But you know what? Whatever! In a frenzy of Axe-y passion it wouldn’t even matter where the pleasure is coming from, just as long as it keeps coming all night long. I’ll take the uggos, the tubbos and the gay men. They’re probably crazier in the sack anyway. My new solution — we all wear brown paper bags sprayed down with Axe, use the shower gel, use the hair gel, use the deodorant and body spray and have one big Axe orgy till the sun finally dies out. Yes, my fellow men, I knew that with enough Axe we could solve any problem. P.S. To the online readership, this isn’t real.

Baylor player suspended for punching opponent by Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press
DALLAS — Brittney Griner, the dunking freshman sensation for No. 14 Baylor, has been suspended for at least one game after throwing a punch that broke an opposing player’s nose in a Big 12 game. League spokeswoman Joni Lehmann said Thursday that NCAA rules require Griner to sit out Baylor’s regular-season finale against 18th-ranked Texas on Sunday because of a “fighting act” that led to her ejection. She said the league is deciding whether further disciplinary action is warranted. “The process will be completed in as timely of a manner as is practical,” Lehmann said in an e-mailed statement. The Big 12 tournament is next week in Kansas City, Mo., and Baylor is all but guaranteed a spot in the NCAA tournament the following week. Baylor officials said they were planning to issue a statement later Thursday. The 19-year-old Griner is one of the most talked-about women’s college players in years. The Houston native was an Internet sensation in high school with her incredible dunks and earlier this season she became the second player (to Candace Parker, Tennessee) to dunk more than once in a women’s college game during a 99-18 rout of Texas State. She was tentative at first, but has become one of the most dominant frontcourt players in the country and gets the most attention from opposing teams. On Wednesday night, she punched Texas Tech’s Jordan Barncastle in the face after the two players tangled in the second half of Baylor’s 69-60 win
in Lubbock. The 6-foot-8 Griner and Barncastle were battling for position near the lane before Barncastle spun around and sent Griner lunging toward the baseline. As a foul was called on Barncastle, Griner straightened up and took two steps toward her before throwing a roundhouse punch with her right hand. Players had to be separated in the scrum that ensued, and Baylor’s Morghan Medlock was given a technical foul. Barncastle stayed in long enough to shoot four technical free throws but didn’t play again. Video showed her on the bench with gauze in her right nostril, smiling while describing the play to teammates by simulating a punch. Barncastle’s father and former high school coach, Doug Barncastle, said his daughter’s nose was broken and declined further comment. Texas Tech spokeswoman Tammi Hoffman said Barncastle would be evaluated daily and it wasn’t clear when she would be cleared to play. After the game, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said she would deal with Griner but didn’t plan to discuss disciplinary measures publicly. “There’s no place for that in sports,” Mulkey said. “It was ugly for women’s basketball.” Griner is the second woman to dunk twice in a game. She towers over opposing players forced to be physical with her around the basket. Griner is averaging 19 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.1 blocks — second nationally — per game. She has season highs of 34 points and 21 rebounds, while recording 11 blocks in three different games. She already holds the Big 12 single-season blocks record.

Aubrey Bush has everything going against her. Yet, somehow, she’s a Mountain West Conference diving champion, finishing with two top 3 finishes, including first place in the MWC platform dive on Feb. 27. The last time the Lobos had an MWC diving champion was in 2005, when former Lobo Becca Barras finished first in the 1-meter dive and platform dive. “It’s super awesome, but it has been a lot of dedication and hard work,” Bush said. “It’s really cool, but I just go to meets to have fun, and, as long as I do that, it doesn’t matter where I place. But I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself, and I have noticed that is when I do bad. When I go in there with no expectations and just have fun, I come out strong.” Still, no one could have expected Bush to succeed in spite of the innumerable obstacles she’s faced. Initially, Bush wasn’t always a diver. She was a gymnast for 12 years before joining the UNM Swimming and Diving Team. UNM diving coach Abel Sanchez said Bush has only
been diving for three years whereas many of her competitors have devoted much of their lives to mastering the sport. To make matters worse, Bush competes in, what Sanchez said, are lackluster facilities. UNM doesn’t have a diving platform. The closest platform for the Lobos to practice is six hours away, in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the Air Force Academy.

If she performs strongly in Texas, she will qualify for NCAA Championships. “I hope to make it to nationals,” Bush said. “But the zones’ competition is a little bit tougher, and I just need to go in there and do what I know how to do.”
