Fee board amends rules for funding departments by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
Sean Gordon/ Daily Lobo Gail Houston, chair of the English department chokes back tears when talking about her colleague, Hector Torres. Torres was killed along with his girlfriend Stephania Gray, a graduate student, in his home on Sunday.
‘He always had a smile for me’ Professor and grad student left friends and colleagues with fond memories by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
The UNM community is mourning the loss of two colleagues, professor Hector Torres and graduate student Stefania Gray, who were found murdered at a residence near campus on Monday.
The two were considering getting married, according to friend Travis Parkin. Torres worked as a faculty member at UNM since 1986. His humor and smile made Torres a popular figure within the department, said Gail Houston, chairwoman of the English department who had an office across

from Torres for six years. “He always had a smile for me. He was always there to listen,” Houston said. “Either he was working away on his computer, on his books or articles or he always had students. He was so brilliant, and they wanted to get everything out of him they could.”

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — In order to make a big run in Women’s basketthe postseason, the UNM ball vs. Utah women’s basketball team Wednesday had to first make a little at 5:30 p.m. one. Th omas & Mack And the Lobos can Center, Las Vegas thank second-year guard Sara Halasz and post player Valerie Kast for the nice little flicker they provided. Halasz helped UNM defeat Colorado State 6754 in the first round of the Mountain West Conference Tournament on Tuesday. Kast finished with 8 points and four rebounds, but had two crucial blocks at the end of the first half. Still, CSU played inspired, not allowing the Lobos to pull away late, Halasz said. “They are a good team, and you just have to come back and fight no matter if they hit shots or not,” she said. But Halasz brawled furiously, especially against one of the MWC’s top scorers. She was handed the task of guarding CSU forward Kim Mestdagh, the Rams leading scorer during the regular season with 16.4 points per game.

The Student Fee Review Board made several policy changes at a meeting Saturday, allowing it more flexibility and power when distributing student fees. The board approved amendments to its policy making it possible to take an organization — like Athletics or Student Health and Counseling — off recurring-funding status. SFRB Chair Lissa Knudsen said some situations might make it unnecessary to give money to certain recurring-funding organizations. “If we get universal health care, then we maybe wouldn’t need to fund Student Health and Counseling,” she said at a February meeting. Before the amendments, the SFRB could only promote groups to recurringfunding status. Organizations on recurring funding status receive a locked-in allocation every year. Also, the board changed its policy to allow a 10 percent probationary cut for all recurring-funding organizations, instead of 5 percent. Jake Wellman, an undergraduate member on the board, proposed the amendment. Wellman also introduced another means of cutting funding to an organization. The SFRB can now cut groups by 5 percent, but only if fiscal situations warrant it. “For fiscal reasons only, the SFRB may recommend a non-probationary reduction for an organization on recurring-funding status,” the policy amendment reads. The board also took measures to prevent student fees from being allocated without going through necessary steps. The board approved a $30,000 allocation to fund ABQRide bus passes for UNM students; however, it did so without receiving an application on behalf of the bus passes. So, Knudsen recommended amending the SFRB policy to forbid any such

UNM students said a 75 cent tax increase on cigarettes won’t be driving them to Nicorette any time soon. The state legislature passed a 75 cent increase to the current 91 cent cigarette tax last week, bringing the overall tax to a $1.61 per pack. However, smokers say the increase will not deter them from lighting-up. “People pay out the nose for heroin,” UNM sophomore Jesse Clifton said. “I think an addiction is an addiction.” Graduate student Sophia Hammett said imposing the cigarette tax is a way to tax a population that is least likely to resist and is often a more viable option for legislators than other tax increases. “It is more ‘moral’ to raise a sin tax than acknowledge that we’re in a deficit,” Hammett said. “And either raise taxes across the board or make painful cuts.” The state will be raising a projected $33 million per year in cigarette taxes. Pug Burge, head of UNM’s Smoke-Free Environment Committee, said the cigarette tax is trying to make it financially uncomfortable for smokers, so they may consider quitting.

“I think those that have been smoking for years and years probably won’t quit,” she said. “I am hoping that younger people who are on the borderline will use this as an opportunity to stop smoking.” Historically, cigarette tax increases have resulted in reduced sales. According to its quarterly reports, Philip Morris USA, which sells cigarette brands Marlboro, Parliament and Virginia Slims, saw a 10.5 percent decrease in 2009 domestic cigarette shipments after federal law increased cigarette taxes by 62 cents in April 2009, Hammett said the federal increase did not affect her habit, and she does not expect the state increase to have a bigger impact. “That didn’t slow me down,” she said. “I do not imagine that another 75 cents will hurt me that much.” New Mexico is not the only state that has forced smokers to pay more as it tries to balance its budget. Last year, 16 states increased their cigarette taxes, according to StateLine. org. Major tobacco-producing states generally charge less, while the rest of the nation charges more. Currently, 14 states tax cigarettes by $2 or more. Rhode Island has the highest cigarette tax at $3.46 per pack, while South Carolina only taxes cigarettes

Sean Gordon/ Daily Lobo Friends of Hector Torres left candles and other items at a memorial on his front porch on Santa Monica Avenue.
Mourning from page 1 In a news release, President David Schmidly and Provost Suzanne Ortega said, “Professor Hector Torres will be remembered as a scholar of great passion, dedication and kindness. Graduate student Stefania Gray was a scholar of great promise. Both were wonderful individuals and we join their families and many friends in great sadness.� GPSA President Lissa Knudsen offered a statement giving condolences on behalf of the graduate student governing body. “Stefania’s passage is a loss to the entire graduate student community at UNM,� Knudsen said. “I am deeply saddened by this act of senseless violence. Our organization is here to support all of our members as they cope with this tragedy, especially those in the foreign languages and literatures department.� Torres, who taught courses in Chicana and Chicano literature, was a passionate deconstructionist and gave instruction on writing about film. However, his most dominant feature was the upbeat personality he brought to his profession. “My last memories of him were seeing him smile,� Houston said. “We were at a faculty meeting, and he had to leave early and I was making a joke with him asking if he was mad at me, and he turned that brilliant smile to me as he was leaving.� Houston said she would like to memorialize Torres with a scholarship and a moment of silence at this year’s graduation ceremony. “Hector was many-sided; he knew people in very different ways and had strong relationships with people in many different sectors,� she said. “You didn’t feel judged when you were with him.� Every Tuesday and Thursday for four years, Paul Ingles played basketball with Torres. Ingles said when he walked onto Johnson Center court Tuesday for a bi-weekly basketball game, he was the last player on the court to hear the tragic news.
Fee Board
“Some guys were not sure if we should play or not,â€? Ingles said. “But we felt Hector would have wanted us to continue playing.â€? Torres was known on the basketball court for his rainbow jump shot and a wild hook shot that he would hit frequently. “I judge people on how they play the game. He would never complain on the court,â€? Ingles said. “He was always gracious. When you passed him the ball, he made the shot.â€? Parkin was a neighbor who would share a shot of tequila at the end of each work week with Torres. The two would talk about their plans for the weekend and bonded over conversations about life while laughing at each other’s jokes. “Hector loved Tex-Mex music,â€? Parkins said. “On my KUNM radio show on Thursday, I’m going to close out the show by playing his favorite song, ‘AdiĂłs Muchachos’ by Los Panchos.â€? Gray was a graduate student of comparative literature in the department of foreign languages and literatures and taught ninth grade English at Bernalillo High School. She was preparing to defend her thesis, “Dreams of Andalusia: Women, Gender, Memory and Nation,â€? after spring break. She received her bachelor’s in Spanish and Portuguese and began working on her master’s thesis this semester while working full time. Her assistant professor, Raji Vallury, who will read Gray’s thesis, remembers her as “vibrant, beautiful, and strong.â€? Natasha Kolchevska, the foreign languages and literature chair, said her department is considering rewarding Gray her master’s degree posthumously. They also plan to bind a copy of her thesis and give it to her family. They also plan to post information about Gray on the department’s Web site, where friends and colleagues can leave comments. “My faculty that worked with her

thought highly of her. She struck me as a very warm, wise and motivated woman,� Kolchevska said. Students and staff are preparing for memorials — some private, others open to the public. Houston is trying to find light in this dark situation. “Somebody told me Hector sent them a little note in Spanish that said, ‘There is nothing so awful that you can’t find good in it,’� she said. “That’s what he would be saying right now.� APD released Torres’ and Gray’s names midday Tuesday. Ralph Montoya, 37, is being charged with two counts of murder in connection with the couple’s death. He turned himself in Monday.

From the web “Police find bodies,” written by Shaun Griswold and published Tuesday, detailed the breaking news that a UNM English professor and his girlfriend were found dead in a residence near campus. Readers online have been commenting on the update. by ‘Rainie’ Posted Monday “How unprofessional, Daily Lobo. Because of your article, many of us can figure out who the professor is. There are only two male English professors that teach Chicano Studies and we can very well figure out who it is. It took me but a second. So much for the victim’s privacy before the victim’s family is notified. Gossip spreads so unbelievably fast and shame on you if his family finds out through local gossip rather than the correct resources. I certainly wouldn’t want to find out because someone was able to figure it out by reading it in the school newspaper. You should have saved the details of his professorship until his identity was released and his family was properly notified. My thoughts and prayers go out to the professor’s family, friends, colleagues, and students. I had him for a class several years ago and he was not only a wonderful professor and a wonderful man. He was an expert in his field and he will be so unbelievably missed at UNM and in the English department.” by ‘Summerspeaker’ Posted Monday “So sad.” by ‘D Mae’ Posted Monday “The victims parents are notified as soon as they’re identified within hours. Students say the professor didn’t show up the next morning at 10 a.m., and students wondered why. So quit trying to make Daily Lobo news look like their [sic] evil. Daily Lobo news are only doing what their supposed to do. Good job, Daily Lobo!” by ‘Anon’ Posted Monday “It’s “they are evil” not “their” OK? You’re in college, eh? True, the man’s family probably already knew way before the Daily Lobo printed this story. “ by ‘G’ Posted Monday “Then wouldn’t they have printed his name?” by ‘amp’ Posted Monday “Stop blaming and arguing (amongst each other). Instead, light a candle for him, and all of us who knew him.” by ‘Anna’ Posted Monday “Who cares at all about spelling, or whether or not the Lobo should have posted this. You bloody bunch of harpies should be giving condolences to this poor man’s family and that of his girlfriend’s as well. A decidedly sick man did this and he will be punished to the full extent of the American legal system. Pray for them, and if you’re not religious, just feel sad! Sick bastards you all are when you focus more on pathetic typos than the horror that occurred. You should all feel ashamed. I hope that the families know that those who truly care hold them in their hearts and wish for their well being. Best wishes to you all and my condolences as well.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

Med students leave unprepared for profession by Abigail Ramirez
Daily Lobo Managing Editor Medical schools are taking one step forward and three steps back in educating future doctors. Mayo Medical School announced in late February their collaboration with Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication to give doctors the upper hand when distributing medical information. Students in the Mayo-Cronkite Fellowship will complete a one-year master’s program at Arizona State University’s journalism school, after their second year of medical school. According to Arizona State University’s news Web site, the dual-degree program is part of Mayo’s interdisciplinary approach to medical education. Cronkite Dean Christopher Callahan said, in ASU’s news “Mayo medical students to study at Cronkite School,” that the program would create physicians who will “have the ability to tell important, complex and nuanced medical stories to wide audiences on any platform — print, broadcast or online.” Although this approach will probably prove to be efficient, it sounds as if medical schools are creating solutions to the real problem in a roundabout way. Deborah Helitzer, assistant dean for research education at the UNM School of Medicine and principal investigator in the study, said medical students aren’t given the skills necessary to be sufficiently good at their job. Helitzer told the Daily Lobo in “Three-year study analyzes women teaching medicine,” that one reason women don’t stay in academic medicine is because of this. Students aren’t educated on completing research, teaching and receiving clinical service experience. But doctors must show excellence in two of these three categories and
be competent in the third to be promoted in their field. “You don’t just get up and give a PowerPoint,” she said. “Teaching is more involved than that, so I think that’s part of the problem. We’re not taught how to develop a syllabus. We’re not taught how to think about what we want students to learn and how to achieve that.” She said on top of this students are also not taught how to balance work with their personal lives and at the same time continuing to be successful in the workplace. Because really what’s the point of working for an employer, if you don’t slowly move your way up the ranks? To some employers this might even be grounds for termination, if you’re not going to excel at your position. They might think you don’t care or you’re not trying. Besides, whoever received a raise or higher position by simply being complacent in their position? Male medical students also have the same problems, but solve them by being more assertive about problems than their female peers. Maybe the solution here isn’t making a medical school’s curriculum require tacking on additional degrees, such as the Mayo Medical School, in the path of becoming a doctor. Medical students are already going to be in school for eight years, before they can even practice medicine. Do they really need an additional year to complete another degree before they can practice? Instead of making the path to become a doctor longer, medical school should be taught with a more practical method. Students should be assigned to complete research in one particular area under a mentor. After a student finishes their research, the mentor can teach them how to write research papers for medical journals.
(Journalists usually write stories for the mass media from these journal articles anyways. Rarely do newspapers allow submissions to be published in a News or Health section other than the Opinion section, unless they are employees.) Students can then be assigned to become a teacher’s assistant to learn the ropes on how to teach others relevant and up to date medical information. This entire process could take at least a year to complete and could be done simultaneously with clinical experience through patient one-on-one contact. If medical schools only amped up their curriculum to include all of these additional things, students would have a sense of what they are supposed to be doing. Students should be taught in medical school, not only about the human anatomy and physiology and pharmacology, but how to teach, research and receive clinical service experience. The curriculum currently in place sounds as if it achieves its goal in giving students the knowledge they need, but at the same time sets the students up for failure. What’s the point of medical school if students drop out, because they are in a sense moving through their careers with blindfolds on, as they try to figure out what they’re supposed to be doing? What is the point of students spending the time and money if they aren’t even given the tools needed to do their job? Isn’t that what medical school is supposed to be doing? The community looks towards doctors for answers about health and for new medical discoveries. They should be given the proper education, which describes in detail how doctors should be distributing medical information, but I guess adding on an additional degree to help students in educating the public is better than them not receiving any education at all.

7 cents, according the American Lung Association. Clifton said New Mexico’s average price of about $4.82 per pack is not bad in comparison to some other states. “I heard in New Jersey they’re almost $10 a pack,” he said. “But
people still smoke in New Jersey.” Freshman Joshua Torres said an extra 75-cents-or-so a week was not enough to get him to quit. “Definitely not,” he said. “I’ll just donate more plasma, I guess.” Burge said that since the smoking ban on campus was enacted in
August 2009, the UNM health centers have seen more students, faculty and staff expressing interest in quitting. “I am hoping, with the cost of cigarettes going up, that we will see more people trying to quit,” she said.

Halasz also hit a career-high four 3-pointers, a first-round record. Only 20 seconds into the second half, Halasz hit a 3-pointer to put the Lobos up by 10. Halasz scored five points within the first four minutes of the second half. “I thought the key to the game probably was the first four minutes of the second half,” said head women’s basketball coach Don Flanagan. “We came out, played well, shot well, and then the momentum changed somewhere around 10 minutes to go. They’re very difficult to defend. They push the ball down the floor with good quickness at the little guards and good shooters at the big guards.” After a pair of missed 3-pointers by the Rams, Halasz scooped up the defensive rebounds. UNM pushed up the floor, followed by another 3-pointer by Eileen Weismann, which put the Lobos up by 13 points. The Rams battled back, getting most of their points from post play. Chatilla van Grinsven took six of CSU’s first seven free throws, and at one point in the second half, had attempted 12-of-14 for the Rams. She finished with 16 points and six rebounds.
Lobo center Valerie Kast forced CSU to take more perimeter shots down the stretch and eventually forced van Grinsven into foul trouble. With 13:07 left in the game, van Grinsven was forced to sit with her third foul. With the Rams’ lack of size, van Grinsven and CSU didn’t have an answer for Kast, who is four inches taller than anybody on the CSU roster. Kast had two big blocks and a layup before the end of the first half. “I thought Val’s block was a positive,” Flanagan said. “It got the crowd into it. That’s one thing I want to say. A lot of times when things happen good for your team late in the half, it gives you momentum.” Back came CSU, pulling to within two points with 6:41. But Halasz stunted Mestdagh and the Rams didn’t score for the last six minutes of the game, while UNM closed on a 11-0 run. Halasz, however, was mum at the podium. “(I was) just going and working hard,” she said. “Scoring, defense, everything. Just going in and not letting my opponent score on me.”

Meredith Wilder, a junior in the music education program, is signed with local label Royalty Life. She plays guitar and sings at local coffee shops and open mics around town. Her music is calm and tranquil in the vein of Great Lake Swimmers and Iron and Wine. She has a twin sister. Daily Lobo: Let’s start with the obvious question: How did you get into music? Meredith Wilder: I had done sports and I was kind of looking for something else. My dad played music a lot and had taught me guitar at home, so I wanted to do it at school. DL: So what was it about music that held your attention? MW: They had guitar concerts at school and we could do covers of songs and things. I started learning other people’s music and performing it, and I really liked giving it my own sound. I performed the first song I ever wrote at school and got a good response from friends and stuff so I kept on doing it. DL: In that case, what is your sound? MW: It’s soft and quiet and kind of relaxing, I guess. I would go for folk people like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and I did some Michelle Branch that I don’t really do anymore, but she was really popular back then. I try to do things that my family would like to listen to, like adults as well as younger people. It’s usually just pretty laid back. DL: Oh, so what do you think of Albuquerque’s folk scene then? MW: Everyone is really nice. If you’re going to go up and play a song, even if they want to criticize you, they will do it in a really nice way. Everyone in Albuquerque seems to appreciate someone who is willing to go up in front of everyone and play their songs. DL: I understand that you’re a

signed musician? What’s it like to be recognized in that capacity? MW: It was really cool. Before then, I never really took it seriously and then I was able to have more of a focus and direction.
DL: Would you say that your music has changed at all? MW: The biggest difference is when I go into the studio and I work with Greg and this other guy, Miles,

Shop offers safe haven to explore sexuality
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 / Page 9
by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
At first glance, Self Serve might look like a boutique for vintage clothes, but it’s stocked with vibrators, rental porn, lubes and condoms. Warm-colored walls of red, brown, purple and green give the single-room sex shop its intimate feel. The elegant white leather sofa and wooden coffee table in the center of the room invite customers to sit down, relax and spend some time picking out their goodies. Customers circle the shop several times, stopping at each shelf for a couple minutes, then circling back around about 10 minutes later. The plants in the entrance give the room life while the frosted front window affords privacy for shoppers. “Every day here is really different, and I feel blessed that people are willing to share their secrets with me,” said co-owner Matie Fricker. Molly Adler is the other co-owner. Both women work in the shop about three days each week. Fricker makes a point to greet each customer who walks in and give them the rundown of the shop. “Our motto is ‘We have bad sex so you don’t have to,’” she says to all first-time customers. A woman in her 40s walked into the shop with a group of women. She was obviously shy at first, but after speaking with Fricker for a couple minutes she relaxed and shared intimate concerns and questions with her. Fricker tells the customer that the store has gift registration for any occasion. One of their favorite occasions to do gift registry for is “independence day.” But it’s not the Fourth of July. It’s the day someone’s divorce is final and official. “There’s a lot of expectations about what’s normal and what your

A lot of people feel like it’s the end of the world.” Fricker said the store has a bestselling magnet that says, “Divorce is expensive and freedom is priceless.” Fricker said this small magnet has had a profound impact on many customers. “We had a woman come in once and she started crying when she saw that,” she said. What makes Self Serve different from other sex shops in Albuquerque is that it’s sex-positive and promotes healthy body image and self love. Both are qualities that Fricker says are crucial to having satisfying sex. It offers educational information for people of all genders and sexual identities. Fricker and Adler said they want their customers to have a different experience than they’ve had at other shops. And the difference is noted by customers. One college-age girl, who wished to remain anonymous, came to shop looking for her first vibrator, she was obviously nervous. “I was going to go to Castle, but then my friend told me, ‘No, you should go to Self Serve,’” the girl said. “The atmosphere at Castle is kind of freaky, and it’s just so much nicer here.” One customer said sex shops

have a reputation of being slimy, exploitative and fake in the products they sell. The porn DVD covers at other shops often have plastic women and greasy muscle men. The porn at Self Serve tries to defy the unrealistic expectations seen in much of porn by educating people about how to have all types of sex, Fricker said. The store has books, DVDs and pornumentaries of different topics such as “Whipsmart” and “The Technology of an Orgasm.” Self Serve doesn’t try to sell every sex toy put on the market. It discriminates between the good, the bad, and the poisonous. Self Serve has volunteers test the sex toys before they go on the shelves. All the toys sold at Self Serve are phthlalate free (phthlalates are substances used to soften plastics). Fricker obviously likes her job because her face lights up every time the door opens. Every customer that comes in qualifies for a discount — they have 18 possible discounts — and she makes sure everyone has the bare necessities for good sex, such as lube. As customers make their way up to the cash register they pull out their wallets to pay, and end up staying there for about five minutes because they open up about their sex lives. “People think sex is simple and that they’ve figured it out and that they’ve got it,” she said. “It’s so much bigger than we give it credit for.”

(and) the production team, they are adding tons of stuff to my songs. Before I got signed, it was a really simple sound, just me and my guitar. But now when we finish a recording of playing live stuff, I’ve always got drums or piano and so it’s just kind of a fuller sound. DL: What’s it like working with a fuller sound? MW: It definitely challenges me because it makes the songs a lot … They have to be longer and have different parts. It makes me want to stretch my limits, which is good. Before then I would finish something and it would be two minutes long, but now I want to take it to the next level. DL: Great, so can you tell me a bit about your song writing process? MW: It’s completely different every time. I’ve got a journal full of lyrics, and sometimes I go to them without a melody, and then I’ll write based on those. Sometimes I get a little tune in my head and then I put words to that. My favorite thing nowadays is going into the studio with Greg. We don’t have a song when we go into it together, and then he starts fiddling around on the piano, or I’ll tell him something I’ve been thinking about lately, and in two hours we create a new song. That’s my favorite way to do it, just on the spot. DL: What do you feel that process offers that others don’t? MW: It’s more collaborative, which is a lot more fun.
DL
DL: What changes about the sound though? MW: It’s more catchy sometimes. The songs that I write by myself are more isolated because it’s just me. It’s easier to come up with words that will relate to more people, or have a broader arrangement of chords because two ideas going on at once just makes it a lot better. DL: That must be an interesting shift to go from working alone to working with others; can you tell me a bit more about that? MW: Working by myself was kind of hard. It was just friends, two friends specifically who had little recorders. They heard my stuff and thought it was really good, so they started recording me. It was just a lot harder to find time and to believe what I was making was actually really good. With more support it’s a lot easier and a lot nicer to make the music. DL: That sounds nice, but what do you do when you run into the dreaded creative block? MW: I spent almost a full year last year not writing anything. It was awful. It was terrible. I would go to open mics and stuff and play old stuff and people would come to me and ask me if I had any new material. I had to tell them no. That’s the worst feeling in the world. It’s just really hard to figure out what it is that’s stopping you from making anything sometimes. Sometimes you just can’t. You just have to wait for it to come back.
