Gabbi Campos / Daily Lobo David Sanchez speaks with an APD officer on Santa Monica Avenue as his wife looks on. Sanchez said he was a good friend of the UNM professor identified as the man found dead along with his girlfriend Monday afternoon. Police haven’t yet released the professor’s name, pending notification of family members.
Police find bodies by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
A man identified as a UNM English professor and his girlfriend were found dead Monday in his home near campus. Police are not reporting the names of the victims until they contact each of the victim’s families, but several friends of the male victim confirmed the man is a UNM professor. Ralph Montoya, the female victim’s ex-boyfriend, is charged with two counts of murder. He is booked in Metropolitan Detention Court on a $250,000 cashonly bail. According to the warrant issued by APD, Montoya walked into the downtown office of attorney Lauren Oliveros on Monday and confessed to killing two people on Sunday. He told
Oliveros the two bodies could be found at the residence of the male victim. When police arrived at the residence, at noon, they saw two bodies lying on the floor from the outside window. Upon entering, officers saw the male victim laying face down in a pool of blood with a gun aimed at his head. According to the report, it appeared to the officers that the gun was placed there by another person to make it look like the victim committed suicide. Officers reported that the female victim was found face up in a pool of blood, but no visible wounds were found on her body. The male victim is 54 years old, and his girlfriend is 43, according to the report. Police also found two firearm casings at the scene, according
to the report. Student Felicia Lopez, in the professor’s Chicano Studies class, said her teacher did not show up for his 10 a.m. Monday class. “He would tell us before if he was going to miss class,” she said. “He was always excited and passionate to show up to teach.” Montoya, 37, is also facing four felony charges stemming from an incident in late-January, which include one count of aggravated assault, one count of aggravated assault on a household member, kidnapping and attempted burglary with a deadly weapon. Student Oscar Ortega said the professor canceled class three times in the past two weeks because he had to testify in court as a witness to a domestic dispute case.
Gabbi Campos / Daily Lobo Police tape surrounds the house near campus where the man identified as the UNM professor and his girlfriend were found. Ralph Montoya, 37, is being held on two counts of murder.
“He talked about how concerned he was about the domestic dispute case,” he said. “He was constantly talking about it.” Students in the professor’s class plan to honor him by wearing black wristbands on their right arms, Ortega said. “It isn’t like we have a lot of Chicano Ph.D.’s,” he said. “The Chicano movement lost someone. We got hit. We are one less.” Check DailyLobo.com for updates on this story.

Koch: Rural areas don’t have resources for new math standard by Abigail Ramirez Daily Lobo
High school students have more than a year to meet increased admissions standards passed by the Board of Regents Monday. Regents President Raymond Sanchez said at the Board’s meeting that the regents will review the standards annually to make needed modifications. Over a three-year period, students will be required to increase the minimum grade point average from 2.25 to 2.5 and college preparatory units from 13 to 16. The preparatory units include an additional social science, science course with a lab and a fourth-year math. The admissions standards go into effect fall 2011. The Regents debated postponing the math requirement before passing it. Regent Jack Fortner, who voted nay, proposed a motion to either delete or postpone

the math requirement until 2014. Regent Jamie Koch seconded the motion, but it was denied. The math requirement may make it more difficult for some to complete their degree, Fortner said. “For those not going into a science field, like political science or law degree, that doesn’t make sense,” he said. “How is that trig or calculus going to help you in succeeding in those areas? It’s not.” But if students don’t have access to the math requirement, they can take an additional unit from another area to meet the 16 units, said Terry Babbitt, associate vice president of Enrollment Management. Rural schools have the biggest challenge with the math requirement, Babbitt said. “It’s just a challenge when you have 15 seniors and you have an algebra II teacher,” he said. “A lot of times they’re not certified to teach trigonometry material or calculus, so
we have to look for solutions there.” Koch said the math requirement could hurt students from rural areas. “When I look at that requirement, I think of Pecos, La Cuesta and Tierra Maria that just don’t have it at all and that requirement is not helpful to New Mexico,” he said. On average, the fail rate for students in introductory college math courses is about 50 percent, Babbitt said. And about 38 percent of entering freshmen start off in a lower level of math, setting them behind in their intended graduation date. Students will be admitted based on GPA and curriculum, even though they are still required to take a college entrance exam. If students have a low GPA, college entrance exam scores will then be considered. Minimum test scores weren’t proposed, Babbitt said, since it would affect a large pool of students. “If we impose a minimum test score of
Alford scores

even an 18 on an ACT, it would eliminate 400 freshmen and if we go to a 16 minimum, it was about 207,” he said. The standards will also give students a weighted GPA, which takes into account rigorous high school classes like dual-enrollment and AP classes. University President David Schmidly said results from national studies are in line with the admissions standards. “National data shows the best predictor of success in college overall is what you took in high school and how well you did,” he said. “Both of those trump the test scores.” Unprepared high school students end up dropping out of UNM, Regent Carolyn Abeita said. “I see this as just one way to be able to kind of give them a head start, because the better prepared a student is when they come to the University, the more opportunities they have here,” she said.

Phishing scams targeting UNM are potential identity-stealers by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
Webmail users should beware of an e-mail phishing scam targeting the UNM online community. The recent phishing e-mails began appearing last Tuesday claiming to be from UNM Account Billing, asking students for their username, password and date of birth. Students should be cautious about revealing information through e-mail, said IT Communication Specialist Vanessa Baca. She said UNM will never ask for that information over the Internet. “If people do respond to a phishing e-mail, unfortunately the most frequent information that they reveal are NetIDs, passwords, Social Security numbers or other such personal identification that can be used for identity theft purposes,” she said. “IT never asks for passwords or Social Security numbers in e-mail messages, so e-mail users should know that.” Mike Carr, IT Chief Information Security Officer, said Internet scammers pick University e-mails as easy

targets and are gathered through Internet databases. “Most universities are more open than the private industries are so, subsequently, a lot of spammers will target e-mails that end with .edu,” he said. “There have been a lot of occasions where student e-mail addresses have been harvested through Facebook and Myspace and there is actually an industry of buying and selling e-mail addresses.” Fixing the problem is not as simple as one might think, Carr said. Although the Webmail system does have spam filters, it is impossible to weed out every illegitimate message. “The risk that we run if we turn up our spam appliance to try to weed out more and more of these phishing e-mails is that we will block legitimate e-mails,” he said. “The spam e-mails don’t just put up its hand and say ‘I’m spam e-mail.’” The best resistance to spam is informing the recipients of its presence and danger, Baca said. “IT has strong spam filters, which are consistently maintained and upgraded, and this will help keep phishing e-mails at a minimum,” she said.
“Part of what IT does, in addition to maintaining these strong filters, is to inform and educate about how to deal with phishing e-mails and suspected spam.” Carr said he wanted to make it clear that the spamming issue is unrelated to the recent portal upgrade. “They are related in the fact that through the portal a lot of students can check their e-mail, but one change doesn’t affect the other and there has been no change to the spam appliance,” he said. “There is always going to be a fluctuation up and down in the increase and decrease of spam.” The fight is an ongoing process, Carr said, because spammers are becoming increasingly crafty. “As we get more sophisticated at blocking them, they get more sophisticated at sending them,” he said. “The more people are aware, the better off we will all be.” Students are encouraged to be wary of e-mails from unknown senders, Baca said, and to take measures to protect their information. “If you receive an e-mail from an unknown person or source, don’t

Long Nguyen / Daily Lobo Men’s Basketball coach Steve Alford speaks during a press conference at the Davalos Center on Monday. Alford was named MWC coach of the year, and Darington Hobson is the MWC player of the year.

Alford named MWC Coach of the Year by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
The UNM men’s basketball team is going to need to make more room next to its 2009-10 Mountain West Conference regular-season championship trophy. The Lobos acquired a cascade of accolades handed out by the MWC Monday, including a pair of All-MWC first-teamers and one All-MWC second-teamer. “When you win the league and the way we did it, winning 14 straight and win it outright, you should get some accolades,� said Lobo head coach Steve Alford. That’s not all, though, folks. Of the biggest winners, juniorcollege transfer Darington Hobson was named MWC Player of the Year. Meanwhile, his coach, Alford, took home the MWC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year and is nominated to win the Jim Phelan Award, which recognizes the men’s national basketball coach of the year. Alford coached UNM to a 14-2 conference record and tied the school record for most wins in a season (28). Still, Hobson was the true runaway winner, pulling in the MWC’s Newcomer of Year award, in
addition to Player of the Year. Hobson was reluctant to take credit for the feat, giving his version of an Oscar speech, including the many “thank yous� to all involved. “It’s an award,� Hobson said. “The real reason why I got this award is because of my teammates and coaches. I wish I could break it down in pieces and give it to each and every one of them. It does feel good to know that all the hard work has paid off with everything that we have been through this year.� Hobson is the first player in the history of the league to receive both the MWC Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year awards in the same season. He is the third UNM player to be selected as MWC Player of the Year. The previous two were Ruben Douglas (2002-03) and J.R. Giddens (2007-08), who shared the award with BYU’s Lee Cummard. Hobson averaged 14.9 points and 4.8 assists per game and was the MWC’s leading rebounder, averaging 10.1 boards per contest. Joining Hobson on the AllMWC first team is teammate and point guard Dairese Gary. Gary, an Elkhart, Ind., native, earned his first all-conference team award and was recognized
Man arrested for sleeping in Popejoy by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
Most people who visit Popejoy Hall see a performance, attend a fine arts class or visit the museum. One man makes his visits an overnight stay. Arnold Woods, a local homeless man, was arrested by UNMPD in early February for criminal trespassing after being warned numerous times that he could not sleep at Popejoy Hall. According to the UNMPD police report, Woods told officers he lived in Popejoy after officers asked him what he was doing in the building so late. This was not the first instance of criminal trespass for Woods. When UNMPD Officer Richard Wills arrived on the scene, he immediately recognized Woods as the same person caught in Popejoy Hall after hours on numerous occasions, according to the report. After every instance, UNMPD officers warned Woods he was not allowed to sleep in Popejoy. Woods was utilizing the amenities of Popejoy Hall in his
after-hour visits. UNMPD Spokesman Robert Haarhues said Woods was cooking meals in the kitchen located in the building. Haarhues estimated that Woods’ overnight stays could have been over a period of six months, but it is unknown as to how long Woods was sleeping in Popejoy. According to the report, Woods was arrested, handcuffed and transported to the Metropolitan Detention Center for incarceration. There have been no other police reports of anyone else sleeping in the Popejoy Hall since Woods was arrested, but people sleep there on a nightly basis, said Glinda Wyndorf, assistant to the Dean of Fine Arts. “We have regulars. They’re staying overnight and leaving early,� said Wyndorf. “If they’re not doing any harm then it’s no problem by me.� Wyndorf said she doesn’t recall sleepers having caused problems and believes the issue is a campuswide problem. “Our building is warm, but any building without swipe-card access has the same issues,� she said.
on the MWC All-Defensive team. The Lobos’ only senior, Roman Martinez, was honored with a spot on the second-team All-MWC. “I thought (Martinez) should have made it,â€? Gary said. “Ro has been carrying us all year with hitting big shots and making big plays that people don’t see on the stat sheet. I mean, I was happy that I was on (the All-MWC first team), but at the same time I was sad he was not on there with me.â€? Hobson said he is frustrated with the voters’ decision to leave Martinez off first team all-conference and is willing to give up his spot on the team for Martinez. “As soon as I saw it, I told Greg Remington to send the (MWC) an e-mail, telling them to take me off and put Ro on, because, I mean, there is no reason why Roman shouldn’t be on the first team. I am sorry it had to go that way but, Mountain West, if you see this, take me off and put Roman Martinez on.â€?Â

Letters Smoking in the wrong place sends asthmatics to the ER Editor, Since the smoking ban at UNM has been put in place, most people who smoke have complied. Unfortunately, there are still the few who have no regard for this new rule, and with no enforcement why should they? I would like to raise an issue of concern to those who still smoke outside of the designated areas, especially those who walk to class while smoking. It never seems to fail that everyday I get caught in the wake of smoke by smokers walking in front of me. As a student who has asthma, like many people in this state, I find this to be a violation of my right to breath clean air and be healthy. For some people with severe asthma, cigarette smoke can set off an attack and put people in the ER. If you choose to poison your lungs, that is your choice and right. You can do so at home, in your car and in designated areas. You however do not have the right to endanger the lives and well-being of other people. I am not saying that people who smoke are doing this intentionally, you probably have never thought of it that way before. So please consider the health and well-being of others before you decide to light up in an undesignated area. Others and myself would greatly appreciate not having to try to hold our breaths until the smoke passes. Thank you. Sara Grover UNM student
Those who steal other’s ideas will never be taken seriously Editor, I am writing in response to Jake Chalet’s letter on March 8. Jake Chalet did not write the letter, but instead did a “copy and paste” from a person known as David Bedein. I do not know if this counts as plagiarism. I do know that there is freedom of speech on this campus. People such as Chalet are free to continue in their attempts to dehumanize the “other side.” However, no one will take anything these dehumanizers say seriously if they are incapable of coming up with an original thought, and instead rely on copying and pasting.

War on THC comparable to war on apples by Zach Gould Opinion editor
Prohibition of any kind doesn’t work, and that is because prohibition is a regulation of morality. It isn’t finding justice, saving money or even keeping people from hurting themselves. Prohibition is the censorship of morality and any government body cannot be successful in that pursuit. The Temperance Movement was a religious movement to drive out the evils of America. At the time that evil was alcohol — people weren’t just opposed to alcohol but also to apples — which were almost exclusively grown to make alcohol. People started taking axes to apple trees all over the country and a campaign was waged against the “devil’s fruit.” Luckily the war against apples was never taken as far as the war against marijuana. I am going to cover the reasons given why marijuana is illegal. Marijuana is bad for your health, that’s why it is illegal. Dr. Leslie Iversen has published a new book titled The Science of Marijuana. Dr. Iversen, from Oxford University’s department of pharmacology, said in his book, “Cannabis is a safer drug than aspirin and can be used long term without serious side effects.” In his book he said he found that many of the “myths” that surround marijuana use — such as links to mental illness or infertility and extreme addictiveness — are not scientifically supported. In fact, Iversen found cannabis was far less toxic than other drugs like heroin, tobacco, cocaine and even alcohol. Iversen writes, “By any standard, THC must be considered a very safe drug both acutely and on longterm exposure.” He also found that “stoned” drivers posed less of a danger than drunk ones. Iversen said the side effects of cannabis are as follows, “cannabis does not cause structural damage to the brains of animals as some reports had claimed, nor is there evidence of long-term damage to the human brain or other, than slight residual impairments in cognitive function after drug use is stopped.” He also said the notion that long-term cannabis use is harmful should finally be put to rest. He said that a lot of the negative effects that come from marijuana are a result of smoking the drug. Cannabis itself does not appear
to cause cancer and poses almost no threat of mortality. Even compared with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compounds, otherwise known as aspirin — which reportedly kills upwards of 16,000 people annually according to the American Journal of Gastroenterology — marijuana kills zero annually — according to the Department of Justice. Iversen is a member of the prestigious Royal Society, or the UK’s national academy of science, and his book is more than certainly going to force the British government to reconsider the legal classification of cannabis. Marijuana is an evil that must be vanquished at any price. Most people don’t know how much that fight really costs America. The 2008 FBI Uniform Crime Report stated that 44 percent of all funding for the war on drugs is devoted to possession of marijuana and 6 percent is devoted to cannabis cultivation and sale. The total cost of the war on drugs for 2008 was $13.7 billion, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The current request for funding the war on drugs for this fiscal year has increased by 3.4 percent, or $459 million. So about half of all funding for the war on drugs, or about $6.85 billion, increases every year and is devoted to stopping marijuana possession, cultivation and sale. In contrast the Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman has led a group of 500 economists from Cornell, Stanford, and Yale in a combined effort of calculation. They have estimated that legalization of marijuana would generate about $6.2 billion a year in revenue even in the current economic recession. Marijuana legalization is only favored by drugged-out hippies and nonfunctioning members of society. Support of legalization of marijuana is no longer favored by a small minority. A new Gallup poll shows that approval of the legalization of marijuana is at an all-time high, with 44 percent of America in favor of legalization. In the last 10 years, approval has steadily climbed by more than 13 points. The poll also detailed that people who would self-describe themselves as liberal favored legalization by 78 percent. The government has made marijuana illegal for a reason; it was a thought out and well-researched decision. This may not be as true as once, thought. Richard Nixon started the war on drugs. He
commissioned a report on the dangers of cannabis to give scientific data in support of making marijuana illegal. This report was called the “The National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse.” The commission, which was published March 22, 1972, concluded, “Neither the marihuana user nor the drug itself can be said to constitute a danger to public safety.” The commission’s official recommendation was that the possession of marijuana for personal use should no longer be considered an offense and that distribution in small amounts should no longer be considered illegal. Even though Nixon had commissioned the report, the president and Congress completely ignored the report. Later, voice recordings came out of Nixon talking with former Gov. Raymond Shafer of Pennsylvania, who chaired the 1972 marijuana study. The recordings indicate that the president tried to “convince” the governor to reject the commission’s findings, saying, “You’re enough of a pro to know that for you to come out with something that would run counter to what Congress feels ... and what we’re planning to do would make your commission just look bad as hell.” Nixon in other conversations had linked cannabis to the downfall of society. The total cost of cannabis, staying classified as illegal, is increasing annually. So why have we decided to spend so much time and money on a plant? The more you start to research the prohibition of pot the less things make sense, that is, until you look at other things that have faced prohibition in America. Alcohol was drunk in the form of hard apple cider in early colonial times because the fermentation made it safer to drink than potentially dangerous well water. Cider was consumed not just in the afternoon but also with breakfast. In early America, there wasn’t much that was more American than a pint of hard cider. But through the process of prohibition of alcohol we see why marijuana is illegal. Because someone decided it should be, and a few politicians have made careers of attacking this “threat.” Like Nixon and those after him, when evidence surfaced that cannabis use has no real negative effects they spent money to fight it. We are now using an extensive amount of our tax dollars on a war to fight a new “devil’s fruit,” in a war that doesn’t make much more sense than one against apples.

Marcos sports a look near identical to Lil Wayne’s in a public speech about the rapper’s life. Usually, Marcos wears white tank tops and Jordan shorts, but said that Wayne’s fashion stands out because of the star’s ability to blend formal clothing with minute touches, such as the loose tie or baggy slacks, while coordinating colors.

“I don’t know, I just have my own style.” Brittany doesn’t have any hard and fast rules for fashion, but dresses based on whatever she thinks is “cute.” She draws inspiration from well dressed people around campus, but also from fashion magazines. With spring around the corner, she said she plans on wearing less clothing, but focusing on quality clothes never the less.

I don’t like to interfere if the clothing’s bad.” Ebadollah said fashion in Iran and America are pretty similar, but that the main difference is in the fact that most Americans don’t dress up as much or as often. With that in mind, he said that he favors clothing in the American trend such as tight short sleeves with curt collars, slim fitting jeans and polished leather shoes.

UNM’s capoeira club, Capoeira Pegadas, sweeps, kicks and handstands its way into the hearts of newbies like Isaac Burleigh. After he saw a demonstration of the Brazilian fighting style in November, he wanted to try it for himself. “I was like ‘Wow this is a pretty extreme workout,’” he said. “It was kind of frustrating and a little embarrassing at the same time. The first game I played I just felt like I was about to die because some dude was kicking at my face.” Capoeira is the game for a peaceful warrior, said member of two years Robert “Preguica” Staszewski. “It is a fight, and when I play maybe with Greg or with Sean (two advanced players in the club), we’ll kick each other and do sweeps and kick each other down,” he said. “But the thing about it is there is always respect at the end. It’s never malicious and it’s always in a friendly way that we practice.” The group meets every Monday and Wednesday night for two hours in Johnson Gym. They begin with a warm-up and then move on to playing against each other. “Pretty much anytime you go to capoeira, even if it’s your first day, you have to play, even if you only know how to do one move, you have to play,” Burleigh said. “Everybody is really friendly and I’ve made lots of good friends. The workout is awesome, and
I was just thinking the other day that this is the happiest I have ever been with my body.” Even for an athlete, capoeira offers players a new type of physical challenge. Burleigh said he cycles and runs on a regular basis, but his first day of capoeira was different from any other type of sport. “I’ve never been flexible or anything, and now I can do some backbends and crazy stuff — handstands,” he said. “It’s awesome. It’s like a fullbody workout for two hours, because you’re pretty much moving the whole time in a room with 20 people.” Capoeira is based around a swaying movement called ginga. From there, the movements become more complicated as they evolve into balancing handstands and kicks. Marcos Estrada is a native Brazilian who plans to attend UNM next year. Estrada said he was impressed with the passion and skill of the UNM capoeiristas. “If I’m accepted at UNM, I will not only contribute to the academic activities, I will share my cultural knowledge on Brazilian issues with the students,” Estrada said in an e-mail. Estrada said capoeira came from Afro-Brazilian slaves in Brazil in the 16th century. The club’s size has fluctuated between five and 25 people over the two years that Staszewski has attended the classes. “This year, before the January semester, we had maybe about five or six people in our group. And this
The Daily Lobo is going on the road with the Lobos! ur
to u o k Chec te for the si e b g e a r w e ov c t s C late W M e on th ment! na r u o T
semester we’ve just seen a huge growth,” he said. For those who want to play capoeira, Burleigh said they should also expect to exercise their lungs and throat a little. “Music and singing are just as important as the actual game, so when we’re at class everyone is singing and learning the songs,” he said. “We also take turns playing the instruments as well. It’s not just a sport, it’s more of a culture that you get into.” The rhythm-setting instrument in capoeira is called a berimbau. It’s a single-stringed wooden gourd instrument with a bow. Other instruments used in capoeira are bongos and tambourines. Staszewski said the music is one of the most captivating parts about capoeira because it comes from all over the world. “A lot of this stuff comes from Africa, a lot of the traditions and the culture come from Africa, and it’s also blended with the natives who were in Brazil preconquest and also from the Portuguese,” he said. “So those three blend together to make this capoeira, and I think having that known makes it so it can reach everybody.”
