The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
Forums to weigh past-their-prime pickup lines paperless pros Singles magazine collection now part of Zimmerman archives

Zimmerman Library is now offering dating advice from the 1970s. So if a freak time-warp leaves you in a supermarket aisle in spring ’79, try out this little gem on the cutie in the hair-products aisle: “I’ve been noticing your beautiful hair. Which of these shampoos do you use to give it that gorgeous shine?” This killer pickup line comes courtesy of Albuquerque Singles Scene magazine, the entire catalogue of which Zimmerman Library absorbed into its permanent collection in December. Jordan Biro, who was assigned to write a short history of the publication for Zimmerman Library, said the collection is useful for research purposes in a variety of fields. “Students working on dissertations or anyone interested in kind of the social-cultural scene of Albuquerque can come in and use it,” she said. “It’ll be great for people interested in sociology, American studies, history, gender studies — that kind of thing.” The magazine, which published its first issue in August 1979, is also useful as a comic goldmine/repository of retro cheesiness. For example, the aforementioned article is titled “Dromedary Dates to Dinner Dates: Singles shop for both at their favorite supermarket.” The article goes on to advise people, “This may go without saying, but do try to look your best. There’s a lot of competition cruising those aisles.”

The UNM Board of Regents heard fiscal recommendations Monday that would cut more than $12 million from the University budget. Andrew Cullen, vice president of Planning, Budget and Analysis, outlined the University’s plan to save money to the regents. His presentation included a $5.6 million shortfall that UNM will not receive from the state. Other cuts included more than $300,000 from Athletics, $1.9 million from the administration, $2.9 million from Information Technologies and $871,127 spread among departments. Regent Don Chalmers said the cuts might not be enough. “These recommendations seem to walk close to the edge without going over,” he said. “I think we need to put VPs on the table. I would put executive salaries on the table.” Cullen compiled his presentation from recommendations made by department deans, tuition and cost-containment task force members, Academic Affairs and the President’s Strategic Advisory Team.
The Faculty Senate issued the University a challenge: Go paperless. The campus-wide effort has economic and environmental benefits, but it’s easier said than done, said Rebecca Lubas, Faculty Senate Computer Use Committee chair. She said the main campus computer pod and library printers processed nearly 2 million jobs in fall 2010. “We’re not expecting to be able to go 100 percent paperless, but we need to figure out how to stop printing Today 1-2 p.m. as much as we Domenici Center for Health are now,” she Sciences Education, West Building said. The commitRoom 2112 tee is hosting Main Campus forum two on-campus Wednesday 2-3 p.m. forums today Zimmerman Library Room B30 and Wednesday that will allow professors and students to ask questions, learn about going paperless and offer feedback about how to use electronic classroom alternatives. University staff member Elizabeth Milford said a paperless class would be near impossible. She also said learning to use technology could be difficult for professors who aren’t used to it. “It’s an access issue,” she said. ”Everyone assumes that everyone has computer or a laptop to access these things, but that’s discrimination against those who don’t.” But UNM researcher Charlie Jackson said going paperless isn’t as difficult as it seems.
The presentation wasn’t all bad news. The University budget office projects a $4 million surplus from an enrollment increase. Salaries, which were cut to go along with a three-year budget plan, should be $1.7 million less than last year. The Instruction and General budget, which covers University operations, has grown from $69 million last year to about $86.8 million by the end of the year.

The regents concluded, however, that regardless of budget cuts to departments, a tuition increase will likely help balance UNM’s budget. “I have no problem raising tuition if we’ve done everything to lower our costs,” Regent James Koch said. Koch said he recommended cutting vice president salaries to avoid raising tuition. Chalmers said that was a feasible option. “It’s tough stuff and those of us in the private sector have been through tough stuff, too,” he said. “This latest recession has been so different that we haven’t only cut the fat out of the organization, but sometimes we cut a bit of the muscle.” The regents requested further analysis on tuition increases and whether vice president salaries can be cut by the time the regents approve the budget March 14. Others, like Faculty Senate President Richard Wood, who was an adviser on the budget cut recommendations, said a tuition increase is inevitable. “I don’t see a scenario where we don’t ask the students for a significant rise in tuition,” he said. If you know of a creative or cost-effective measure in your department or elsewhere, please send an e-mail to News@DailyLobo.com to be exposed in our “Desperate Times” feature.

Jordan Long, Freshman, Elementary Education Daily Lobo: Where did you go to high school? Jordan Long: I’ve gone to a lot of high schools, but the one I graduated from is (St.) Pius. But I’ve lived all over. I lived in Italy for a year. I lived in Florence, Italy, for my freshman year of high school. I lived in Arizona for a couple years because my dad moves around for his job. DL: What does your dad do? JL: He owns all the Satellites here, all the Flying Stars, all the Keva Juices. He owns the Hotel Albuquerque … and the Nativo Lodge … and some others, like the Plaza Real in Santa Fe, and the St. Francis and some other ones in San Diego. DL: So what’s that been like, having a father like that? JL: He’s really cool. He’s like, “Do whatever you want — whatever makes you happy. A job is the rest of your life, so you can’t just do something you hate otherwise you’ll hate it.” He says, “I’ve never worked a day in my life because my work is fun. I do what I want to do.” DL: So his job is fun for him? JL: Yeah, he went to school to be an architect, and he actually donated a lot of money for the new architecture building here. … He was like, ghetto; he grew up
Spotlight: Jordan Long
without a dad. … He basically had nothing and became this multimillionaire. … He’s a really cool guy. My mom and dad are like the Warren Buffett kind of parents, who are rich as f*ck, but aren’t going to give their kids anything. So I have to work for everything. DL: Do you have any siblings? JL: I have an older sister who’s 20 and a younger brother who is 13. DL: Do they want to inherit the empire? JL: My brother does. My sister is actually an interior designer. She designed this high-class nightclub at Hotel Albuquerque called Casa Esencia. DL: Do you live in the dorms right now? JL: No, I live in an apartment down the street, so it’s really close. I just walk. I don’t have a car. I don’t have a job but I panhandle. I just play guitar. I play acoustic guitar. DL: So you are the son of the man who owns all of the Satellites and Flying Stars and many of the hotels in the area and yet you’re panhandling and don’t have a car? JL: Yep. My parents are in Paris. They moved there for three months, so they said, “Here’s three months’ rent and a fridge full of food. There ya go.”

It also tells readers, “A majority of supermarket employees are single, and many of them admit to finding up 90 percent of their dates at the store,� and counsels them that, “Items in your cart should indicate you’re cooking for one.� The magazine’s major selling point, however, was its’ “Person to Person� section, which Biro said was one of the earliest examples of a localized personal-ad section. “The history of personal ads from 1930-1950, they were very rare. And then in the 1960s, they started becoming really popular. They were on more of a national scale,� she said. “So how do you meet people nationally? If you live in Albuquerque, you want to meet someone who lives in Albuquerque.� These personal ads are one of many aspects of the magazine that social scientists may find interesting, Biro said. “This collection is now open to anybody that wants to come and use it. It just depends on what your interests are,� she said. “I myself study gender and sexuality, so I would be interested in the evolution of personal ads.� The magazine’s founder, Marilyn Stutt, decided to donate the back is-
sues to the library after her and her son found a collection of all the back issues in Stutt’s garage, Biro said. She said Stutt had strict requirements for the personal ads banning explicit sexual content, and also refused to accept ads from people seeking same-sex relationships. “She really wanted it to be about just meeting people on the level of friendship, or on a romantic level, but without sex,� Biro said, and then paused. “In the ad.� The magazine also featured an events directory and places offering opportunities for singles to meet each other. One early directory entry for Graham Central Station claims it was “the largest disco in America — maybe the world!’� Although the personal ads and the directory may have been useful on a lonely Saturday, the magazine won national fame for an educational series, Biro said. She said the magazine won a national award for an informational series they published on STDs. However, upon perusal of a July 1984 article, “The Great Imitator – Syphilis,� the Daily Lobo found no mention of condom use, which would stand out as a glaring oversight by today’s standards.
In 1988, the magazine dropped the “Singles� part of its name and became On the Scene magazine, a name it kept until it closed its doors in August ’99, exactly 20 years after the first issue of Albuquerque Singles Scene was published. Biro said the name change reflected a shift in focus for the magazine, which had come to focus on events throughout Albuquerque, some of which did not specifically cater to singles. The cover story of the first issue of On the Scene, published May 1988, has no obvious connection to singles. In the article, “Jane Metzler of KOAT-TV Action 7 News and 94 Rock’s T.J. Trout discuss their highly publicized on-the air feud.� The feud, as far as can be extrapolated from reading the interview, involved a remark Trout made about Metzler’s hairstyle. The last issue of On the Scene magazine listed only five employees, as opposed to a total staff of 18 listed for the magazine in the mid-80s. There was some good news, however. An “Important Notice� at the front of the magazine informs readers that they can still respond to personal ads “for at least six weeks.�
“I think you can get pretty close to paperless,� he said. “Tests, notes and textbooks can all be put online.� Programs like WebCT allow students to access course materials online, but professor James Burbank said reading online documents reduces compre-
hension. He said departments pressure professors to print less, which forces students to print materials on their own. “It’s not fair to the students,� he said. “I’ve had to cut my printing to almost nothing, but somebody still has to bear the cost of what needs to be
printed.� Lubas said that issue is one of many that will be addressed at the forums. “That’s putting the cost on students,� she said. “And students can afford it even less than the University.�

ference, it feels pretty good to be on top because we have so many good players in our conference.� Gordon, who sat out for the Lobos’ first six games because of NCAA transfer rules, was the Newcomer of the Year to Williams’ Freshman of the Year. Gordon also took home the conference’s last Player of the Week award for his back-to-back double-doubles against BYU and Air Force and got a spot on the All-MWC second team. He finished the year with 11 double-doubles, 10 of which were in MWC play. “I’m really happy because I had to take a year off, and I kind of had a rough start at UCLA,� Gordon said. In his first year at UNM, Williams, also an All-MWC honorable mention, averaged 11 points per contest and 4.6 assists. “Even in high school, I didn’t get too many awards, so it’s nice to come in here
and change it up a little bit,� Williams said. “But I think more than anything, it tells more about the team, the coaches and the leaders.� As expected, BYU’s Jimmer Fredette was named the MWC Player of the Year, and Alford’s MWC Coach of the Year three-peat ended, with the conference naming BYU’s Dave Rose and SDSU’s Steve Fisher co-winners. Regardless, Alford said, it was good to see his players get individual hardware. “I thought it was a really good league for us,� Alford said. “We got a lot of good individual honors, and that’s always good for your program.� Forward Porche Torrance and guard Amanda Best represented the women’s team. Torrance made the MWC all-defensive team and Best was named to All-MWC third team.

Trio gets awards galore rtomari@unm.edu Ever since head coach Steve Alford took over the UNM men’s basketball team, the Lobos have made winning league awards seem like a given. On the backs of reliable point guard Dairese Gary, double-double machine Drew Gordon and lanky guard Kendall Williams, the Lobos notched their fourth straight 20-win season under Alford. The conference on Monday recognized the trio’s contributions with endof-the-season honors. For the second straight year, Gary was named to the All-MWC first team and the all-defensive team. He is the first Lobo since Tony Danridge to earn backto-back, All-MWC first team. “It means a lot because our conference is on the rise right now,� Gary said. “What we’ve been doing within our con-

Two- and four-wheelers need to share one road Editor, As one of the many two-wheeled UNM students, I would like to speak about my biking experience. After living in the Duke City as a student for four years (and not owning a car), it is obvious to me that drivers and pedestrians treat bicycles as nuisances. I can best illustrate this by giving an example from my daily routine. In order to reach my classes, I take Girard Boulevard north, head west on Silver Avenue, and turn right onto Stanford Avenue. It should be a short, carefree ride. For a while, I always started my ride to campus by merging into traffic from my driveway, going up Girard and swinging a left onto Silver. Easier said than done. Girard is almost always a busy street with cars parked curbside. Riding a bicycle through the Lead intersection also means that I will usually have a trail of angry commuters behind me beeping, mouths foaming. And then there is the pleasant experience of turning left onto Silver where it is a guarantee that I will be screamed and honked at. When someone eventually threw a Coke can at my head, screamed “Get on the sidewalk asshole!” and sped off, I thought, “Maybe I will use the sidewalk a little.” And actually it is not entirely illegal. According to city ordinance 8-3-3-15, you may not ride the sidewalk if “there is a wide right lane, bike lane, or bike trail adjacent to the direction of travel, or when signs are posted prohibiting bicycles on the sidewalk, or when within a business district.” For the small section of Girard that I need to pass, none of these restrictions apply. There is no wide lane (too many parked cars), no bike trail, no signs prohibiting biking, and isn’t a business district (unless you count the drug dealers). However, on Monday morning upon riding on the mostly vacant sidewalk, I passed a man I see often who I had cartoonishly nicknamed “Speed Demon” because he walks his dogs as slowly as humanly possible. He decided to yell at me, called me a shithead and told me I go “waaaay too fast! And you shouldn’t have those microphones in your ears!” He also shook his cell phone in the air and threatened to call the police. Now, I was by no means gracious to the onslaught, so I had a few choice words myself and felt bad when I discovered he walks his dogs so slowly (and I mean igloomolasses slow) because of their age (allegedly). But I don’t care. He and his canine companions were perfectly safe, and I feel that three blocks of usually empty sidewalk is not too much to ask. As I mentioned, I do not own a car and thus ride my bike everywhere (evil Walmart, downtown, etc.). Ninety-eight percent of the time I’m on the street. So, as a bicyclist, I will choose annoying dog walkers over SUVs, and I ain’t apologizing for it! Oakley C. Merideth UNM student

Column
Spring break party fouls to avoid
“You deserve a break.”
by Peggy Spencer, M.D. Daily Lobo Columnist
Next week is spring break. You have worked hard and you deserve a break. What are you planning to do? Rest? Play? Party? I know this is a big party time for many of you, so in the interests of your safety, I ask you to consider the following suggestions. Make your own choices. It is your decision what to put into your body and how to spend your time. If you choose to drink, smoke marijuana, do ecstasy or other drugs, make it a conscious decision. Don’t let someone else decide for you. Don’t buckle to peer pressure, and don’t fool yourself into thinking it “just happened.”
You are the one who has to experience any consequences of your own behavior. Take responsibility for yourself. Don’t overdo. Most injuries and deaths from substance use come from using too much. Alcohol overdose tragically kills college students every year, including two in New York just last week. Alcohol depresses your nervous system, and you need your nerves to breathe and beat your heart. Take it slow. Don’t binge. Match water for alcohol, ounce for ounce. Eat while you drink. Don’t smoke a whole joint at once. Space out your substances. Pay attention to your bodily cues to know when you have had enough. Don’t mix and match. If you mix alcohol with opiates you get a double downer, one that can stop your breathing. Also, avoid the latest deadly fad of mixing alcohol with energy drinks, like in the recently banned Four Loko. Alcohol plus caffeine can mask the effects of alcohol until it is too late. The reason caffeinated energy drinks have been pulled from the market is that people died from alcohol poisoning because they couldn’t feel it coming on. Watch out for each other. If you get worried about someone you are
partying with, don’t leave them alone. Someone who passes out and can’t be roused could be in real danger. When in doubt, take them to a hospital. Doctors are not cops and will not bust you for underage drinking or illegal substance use, but they could save your life or that of your friend. Think ahead. Driving under the influence is a good way to end up injured or worse. How are you going to get home? What are you going to do if you’re too wasted to get yourself there? Do you have a designated driver? Can you stay where you are? With whom do you feel safe? What is your exit strategy, your backup plan? You deserve a break, and I hope you have a lot of fun and plenty of rest. If you choose to party, please be safe. See you next week.

Letter Muslim religion diluted by culture; Allah has solution Editor, Sometimes the deepest wounds are selfinflicted. This is the case when we look at the Muslims. While we are quick to blame the Zionists, the CIA and others, we must first point the finger at ourselves. Are today’s Muslims
still following the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad’s example? If you look at different places around the world, what you will find is that Muslims have polluted Islam with culture. In parts of Africa, you see female circumcision. In Pakistan there are wife burnings, and in India you see Muslims worshipping saints’ graves. Do any of these things have to do with Islam? Until and unless Muslims ask Allah for forgiveness, things will only get worse. Al-
lah’s help will not come until we return to the Quran and the example of the Prophet Muhammad. We cannot fool anyone except ourselves. As one poem so succinctly puts it, “I am afraid, O wayfarer, that you will not reach the Ka’aba because the path that you are following goes (in the opposite direction) to Turkistan.” Muhajir Romero UNM student

Press’ health critical, but stable aswanny@unm.edu
Pressing through stormy financial times and evolving mediums, UNM Press’ ink hasn’t run dry. Staff reductions have coincided with steadily declining book sales, but the press’ reputation as the go-to for scholarly writers, novelists and poets endures. Editor-in-Chief Clark Whitehorn said that when the economy tanked in 2008, publishing became unstable, and about half the staff was lost because of layoffs or resignations. He said the press doesn’t get money from the University, so it has to publish more commercial books in order to stay afloat. “Nonprofit publishing is not for the faint of heart,” he said. “… The book sales right now are flat. We all try to B.S. each other a bit about sales, but it’s flat.” Book sales might not be climbing, but those with strong hearts keep the presses running. Production Manager Maya AllenGallegos said having a press is a symbol of prestige. She said university presses typically publish works that fall into their niche. “It’s probably related back to that thing where universities at some point
needed a way to disseminate the knowledge their scholars were creating or producing,” she said. “It’s kind of just a tradition now. I mean, scholars are here to be producing knowledge to share with the rest of the world, so you have to have a way to send that out.” Apart from its Latin American literature, which Whitehorn said is one of the country’s most respected, UNM Press publishes poetry, novels and children’s book. That, Whitehorn said, is something that sets the press apart from other publishing companies. “All the university presses started out as an arm of the institution to publish the scholarship from that institution, but over the years, presses have expanded beyond that,” he said. “That’s how you enhance your reputation.” A reputation that has, more or less, stayed in tack with UNM faculty. David Sklar, associate dean of Graduate Medical Education, worked with UNM Press to publish his book La Clinica- A Doctor’s Journey Across Borders, and he said the press gives authors a more involved role in the publication process. “It really tries to work with the writers to make sure the spirit of what you’ve written stays true and doesn’t
get altered in an effort to make a book more commercial,” he said. Commercial interests might not find their way to print, but that’s not to say the publishing company doesn’t face profit-making pressures. Whitehorn said that an e-reader format does not threaten the industry because editing and designing are still necessary, but the press can’t ignore the growing digital demand. Meeting that demand, he said, will lead to increased profits. “We don’t have to clear cut half of Oregon to create the product, and I think it’s important to remember it doesn’t change the nature of a book,” he said. “People just have to grow comfortable with that.” Regardless of whether it eases UNM Press’ stressed bottom line, Whitehorn said, the company won’t alter its business practices because of financial constraints. He said it will continue to forge a connection between publishers and readers at any price. “We try to create books that meet scholarly standards, meaning they’ve been researched, vetted, and so on,” he said. “But we want to stay true to the stories of this state like La Llorona, like chupacabra stories. They’re sort of part of our folklore and what we do.”

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO
Last chance in Las Vegas by Ryan Tomari
rtomari@unm.edu This late-season feel, to be sure, is foreign to the UNM women’s basketball team. Don Flanagan’s Lobos have a rich tradition of being a mid-to-high seed in the Mountain West Conference tournament, but this year they find themselves with sub-.500 records (11-17, 5-11 MWC) and tonight’s matchup with San Diego State as the league’s No. 7 seed. Even more alien, for just the second time in 15 years at UNM, coach Flanagan will finish 2011 with a losing campaign, if not a postseasonless one. The Lobos, technically, can earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament should they win the MWC tourney. And that’s the only motivation Flanagan’s team needs. “At this point in the season, you have to play relaxed, and you just hope you’re playing your best basketball at this time right now,” Flanagan said. The Lobos are coming off Saturday’s 73-70 overtime victory at lastplace Air Force, a “pressure win” that Flanagan hopes primed the Lobos for their do-or-die predicament. Their first task will be getting past SDSU, the defending MWC tournament champions. SDSU swept the Lobos this season by a combined nine points. In the two’s first meeting at Viejas Arena, UNM rallied from a 12-point,
Don’t worry... it kinda looks like you’re taking notes.

second-half deficit only to fall short in the final minutes, 56-53. The Lobos then fell short at The Pit, 5044. Just one year removed from winning the MWC tournament, the Aztecs have fallen on hard times. They’re 12-16 overall and 6-10 in the MWC, and their offensive production has dipped. The Aztecs are fifth in the conference in shooting (41.2 percent) and second to last in points per game (59.4) and 3-point percentage (29.3). “The thing about them is that you hope they don’t shoot well because normally they don’t,” Flanagan said. Normally, neither do the Lobos, but they’re hoping guard Amanda Best can supplement their offense. Best played the entire 45 minutes against Air Force, scored 20 points and nabbed 21 rebounds. Flanagan said it was one of the best performances he’s seen. “She fed the post 14 times,” he said. “I mean, if we could have made a few of those layups, then she would have had about 10 assists. So that would have been a triple-double.” It just hasn’t been Best, as of late. Freshman Jasmine Patterson had an instant impact for the Lobos, especially late in the season. With 13 seconds left against the Falcons, Patterson stole a pass, drove the lane and scored to put UNM up, 7170, which sealed the win. “I don’t know what happened,”
Patterson said. “I wasn’t even thinking, ‘Steal the ball.’ It just happened, and I was shocked.” Which is what the MWC would be if the Lobos make a tournament run. Under Flanagan, though, stranger things have happened. Three years ago, UNM won the MWC tourney when no one expected it to. Flanagan was asked if opening with SDSU is ideal. The coach, with his matter-of-fact humor, pointed out the obvious. “It hadn’t been a good matchup for us in the first two games because they won both of them,” Flanagan said.
