student flees japan as unm sends aid
UNM’s Japanese fundraise and cope with devastation by Elizabeth Cleary
“Just because our friends and family are OK, doesn’t mean we’re OK. It’s so hard to see our tiny country destroyed.” ~ Student Haruna Nakayama

A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and 30-foot tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan on March 11 — and the aftershocks are affecting people as far away as UNM. The natural disaster killed thousands, and rescue workers continue to search for missing persons two weeks later. UNM Japanese students and faculty wasted little time organizing fundraising events for Japan. Japanese students, faculty and supporters held a flea market and organized a bake sale Thursday. Thomas Bogenschild, director of the UNM Office of International Programs and Studies, said, as far as he knows, all Japanese students and faculty members have gotten in touch with their families, and everyone’s family members are safe and unharmed. “We sent out a message to all of the Japanese students and faculty saying that we would help them get in contact with people,” he said. “We didn’t hear from anyone, so we haven’t heard of any difficulty students have had reaching people there.” Bogenschild said two UNM students were studying abroad in Japan

Sasha Evangulova / Daily Lobo Well-wishers donated a variety of items, including videotapes and books, to an impromptu flea market organized by Japanese students and faculty that helped raise funds for relief efforts in Japan. The group raised more than $4,000 after a massive earthquake and tsunami rattled the country March 11.
Two groups travel to build houses, study economics

This summer, UNM students will travel to Central America’s poorest country to learn economics and lend a helping hand. Professor Matias Fontenla will take 18 students to Nicaragua in June for his Sustainable Development in Central America class. Fontenla said the program, in its second year, gives students six credit hours for a first-hand look at poverty and economic stagnation. “It is horrendously poorer than anything you can imagine or have seen,” he said. “I always

say economics is about improving quality of life, which is what we will aim to do there.” The class combines theory and observation, Fontenla said. Students are housed with individual families in Granada, and the families give them a room and three meals a day for the four-week course. Student Richard Bailey said his time in Nicaragua last year was eye-opening. “After three years of studying economics, I noticed that I understood the theoretical and the human side, but I only understood it through a narrow perspective — that of a citizen of a
very stable and wealthy country,” he said. “I realized that if I was going to graduate with a degree in economics, I should have a broader, more tangible perspective to go with it, too.” Student Felicia Alexander wasn’t one of the 18 who participated in the abroad course last year, but she took the opportunity to establish the UNM chapter of Nourish International, a group that raises money and organizes service projects to help fight global poverty and hunger. Nourish UNM will also travel to Nicaragua on July 5 for five weeks, where it will build homes for women. The last week of Fontenla’s course will assist Nourish’s efforts. “It was kind of a happy accident,” Alexander said. “By not getting into the program, it inspired me to find some other way to make a difference.” The chapter’s efforts raising money for the housing project earned it first prize in Nourish International’s fundraising contest. Nourish UNM raised $5,949, placing it above the 11 university chapters at schools including Yale, UCLA and the University of North Carolina. Nourish UNM’s housing project will sell deeds to homes at little cost to female heads of household, providing the owners with a property investment and increasing their independence, Alexander said. Fontenla said Nicaraguan people are in need of housing. Last year, students in his class helped remodel a neighborhood, outfitting the homes with brickand-tin roofs, indoor plumbing, running water and electricity. “Most houses are shacks with no roof,” he said. “It rains every day, so it constantly floods. We
created a neighborhood, and those homes are now beautiful. They are raised so they don’t flood. The health implications for having a house like that are tremendous.” Last summer’s trip inspired student participants to create the UNM Latin America Sustainability Association, Fontenla said. LASA is a community service organization that finances development projects and works to fulfill the need of sustainable development in Latin America, while supporting some already established nonprofit organizations, Fontenla said.
“I came back and said this was the most important thing I have done as an educator, because it really affected them.” ~ Professor Matias Fontenla “They said this was the most important experience of their life,” he said. “I came back and said this was the most important thing I have done as an educator, because it really affected them.” Bailey said that it benefits students to travel abroad, get handson experience and get out of comfort zones. “Education isn’t always in classrooms, devoid of any interaction beyond the formal student-professor form,” he said. “Sometimes it takes shaking the hand of the guy who possibly grows the beans for your coffee, or listening to a nurse talk about her experiences through a civil war, to really learn a few things about what you’re studying.”
The odds a nuclear reactor will explode in Japan are minimal, and citizens there face slim chance of radiation side effects, according to the UNM section of the American Nuclear Society. “Everything indicates that the efforts to keep the reactors and spent fuel cool using sea water are succeeding,” ANS representative Margaret Root said. “While there is still some release of radiation, the quantities are minimal and safe, particularly since the area around the plant has been evacuated.” UNM ANS works to help inform the public about nuclear science and engineering and help nuclear engineering students learn and connect with other people in the industry. The group will host a panel discussion at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Root said small levels of iodine and cesium have spread into the atmosphere and concedes that water in the area has some level of radiation. She said people have been advised to not eat fish or drink water from the contaminated area in Japan. “It is difficult to say exactly when those waters will be open to fishing again,” Root said. Some milk has also been contaminated, but Peter Caracappa, a health physicist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, said you would have to drink 58,000 glasses of contaminated milk to increase chances of getting cancer by just 4 percent. Root said most media coverage has been blown out of proportion and fueled fears the reactor could blow up. “When hydrogen gas, which was generated by a chemical reaction in the core, hit the air, a spark was all that was necessary to ignite it and cause an explosion,” she said. “At no point were the reactors a danger comparable to the earthquake, tsunami or aftershocks.” Members from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a government body in charge of reactor safety, and members from Sandia National Laboratories have gone to Japan to give consultation, Root said. “Even at its worst moments, the situation in Japan never reached the scale of Chernobyl accident in Russia,” she said.

GPSA. It is necessary to address this issue on a state level ... Attendance costs — When it comes to tuition, TA and GA-ships we need to engage the institution in a discussion about the budgeting and resource allocation process. We need early and strong involvement, that is absent currently, to ensure we are spending our money in the smartest way possible to protect students. We have to recognize that this problem impacts all public universities. We receive the highest level of state funding in the nation for our operating budget, but we are approaching a cliff and the state is unable to maintain level of support. ‌ Employment — I’m proposing a new and exciting vision for the organization.

DL: What do you see as the biggest issues facing the graduate community? JC: The two issues that directly impact graduate students the most are the availability of research funds at the institutional and state level as well as the cost of attendance and the employment opportunities available to graduate students in New Mexico once they complete degrees. It hasn’t really been discussed by this University that graduate students here leave with more debt relative to their peers nationwide and encounter fewer employment opportunities in the state. DL: If elected, how will you work to address these?

when the earthquake hit. He said one student opted to stay in Japan while another came home. “One of the students is about 900 kilometers away from the epicenter, and he said he felt pretty safe,” Bogenschild said. “But on Saturday morning, when it became evident that the nuclear problem was going to be a big issue, we double-checked with people, and one student definitely wanted to come home, so we helped pave the way for that.” Bogenschild said the student who opted to come was studying at an institution on the northwest coast of Japan and was closer to the devastated area than the student who stayed. He
said communication was interrupted in that area so he couldn’t even access the northwest Japan institution’s website in the days following the earthquake. “She was traveling in Tokyo in the time, and once we got in contact with her, it was quite clear things were pretty weird,” he said. “She clearly wanted to come home.” Japanese student Eri Hoshi said the fundraising group raised more than $4,000 for JANIC, a Japanese NGO accepting donations for the relief effort. Hoshi, whose family lives in Tokyo, said the city is running low on basic supplies because of the earthquake. “My family is having a hard time

I would work to move us past a lot of the bickering and confrontation to build strong, collaborative relationships between staff, faculty, administration and the student body. DL: Would you be willing to work with ASUNM to improve this relationship? JC: My leadership style would be one of inclusion and collaboration. I would actively reach out to ASUNM because a lot of issues facing the UNM makes sense for us to work together to address. I would be willing to get a cup of coffee with incoming president monthly or weekly. DL: Why is it important for student governments like GPSA to be active on campus? JC: Inevitably, this institution’s mission is to serve students. Students are not at the table in a meaningful way throughout the entirety of the budgetary process. It is impossible to adequately fulfill its mission. How can the University respond to needs of the client if it fails to understand the client’s needs? ~ Kallie Red-Horse

Federal relief on its way after state gas shortage ALBUQUERQUE — President Barack Obama has signed a disaster declaration for New Mexico after the state was left cleaning up damage resulting from days of extreme cold temperatures and a natural gas outage that affected thousands of customers. The president’s declaration of a major disaster in the state clears the way for federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in several counties and tribal jurisdictions. The counties include Lincoln, Otero, Rio Arriba, Sierra, Socorro and Taos. Federal funding will be available on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe winter weather. Funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures for all counties and tribes within the state. The president signed the declaration Thursday.

living a normal life,” she said. “All of the supplies are low. All of the stores are empty.” At the bake sale in front of Zimmerman Library, students and faculty members sold homemade baked goods and paper cranes. Hoshi said the group folded 1,000 paper cranes, because the act is said to make a wish come true. Student Haruna Nakayama, who helped in the local relief efforts, said she is devastated to see Japan, her native country, in a depressed state. “Just because our friends and family are OK, doesn’t mean we’re OK,” she said. “It’s so hard to see our tiny country destroyed.”
Jet oil spill causes more damage than thought KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE — A report says a groundwater plume contaminated by a jet fuel spill from Kirtland Air Force Base has traveled farther into Albuquerque than previously believed. The report from geosciences and engineering firm Intera Inc. was presented Wednesday to the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Authority. A test well shows evidence of contamination a few blocks north of what previously was believed to be the boundaries of the plume. Intera hydrologist David Jordan says that before the jet fuel plume, groundwater in the area was pristine. Officials say the test well is nearly a mile from the nearest drinking water well, and contaminants have not reached any source of drinking water. Jordan says the plume is moving slowly, meaning any potential contamination to drinking water is decades away.

Letter Advocating for ‘illegals’, the devil and driver’s licenses Editor, Let’s be clear from the beginning: I’m only playing devil’s advocate. By doing so, I feel I can throw some light on a controversial issue that is being debated in the US — issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. Yahoo! News reported that 95 year-old WWII Navy vet, Leeland Davidson, was surprised to find out that he is not a U.S. citizen. He was born to parents who were U.S. citizens, but not on U.S. soil, so he’s technically Canadian. According to the report, Davidson was denied an enhanced driver’s license he needed to visit Canada. Davidson, who has spent his whole life believing he was a U.S. citizen, wants to correct this. Local passport officials told Davidson that “If he pursued it, (he could) possibly be deported or could be ‘at risk of losing Social Security.’ ”So, here we have an illegal immigrant requesting a driver’s license. It seems pretty clear that he should be deported. If law enforcement officials found an illegal Mexican immigrant in, let’s say, Arizona, that “illegal” would be arrested and sent back to Mexico. So, why does Mr. Davidson get a pass? According to people that posted in the comments section of the article, it’s because he served his country in the military and has been a productive member of society. But as a conservative friend reminded me, we shouldn’t equivocate on this issue. By granting driver’s licenses to “illegals” we are condoning illegal activity and encouraging it. Even if giving licenses to “illegals” meant that these drivers knew the basic rules of the road and that law enforcement officials could identify people more quickly, or that “illegals” with IDs might be more likely to report illegal activity if they knew they could provide ID if asked, we must stand behind our laws. Illegal is illegal; circumstances-be-damned. But there are circumstances. We condone this. We grant criminals immunity or lessen the charges the state brings against them if they provide testimony or evidence that could help convict another criminal. We might even declare that someone could legally break a law if there was an extenuating circumstance. Why shouldn’t we recognize that there are certain circumstances in which illegal immigrants should be given driver’s licenses? For instance, “illegals” who have jobs, and who need to drive their children (possibly U.S. citizens) to school or to receive medical services — what have these people done that excluded them from being able to drive? Certainly no more than Mr. Davidson. Giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants is a complex issue and both sides have valid arguments. By bringing light to the case of Mr. Davidson, I just want to remind my fellow New Mexicans that we don’t live in a world where good and evil are always easily discernable. The reality in which we live is complicated and in order to ensure that people are served by justice and not victims to it, we must recognize the dangers of validating false equivalencies like “illegal immigrant equals danger to the U.S.” David Luna UNM Faculty

Letter Electro-movement generates mixes, remixes, re-remixes Editor, Electronic dance music (EDM) is being played everywhere, and by just about everyone. The hard-hitting bass beats that pulsate from the speakers of club DJs are traveling from the dark dance floors and illegal massive raves of their founding straight into the ears of mainstream America. Everyone from Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Flo Rida and Busta Rhymes are using the genre’s fast paced beats to meet the demands of the world’s music lovers. No longer are names like Tiesto, Wolfgang Gartner, and Diplo exclusive to small EDM scene circles. No, they are quickly becoming known by peoples of all demographics. Together, pop artists and EDM artists are collaborating to push the mainstream music envelope and rewrite the popular-playlist paradigm. EDM has had its mainstream ups and downs in the past, but nothing like what’s going on now; it’s a revolution of rhythm and sound that is becoming a global musical language, a genre juggernaut. EDM is actually a broad term that acts as an umbrella to many diverse sub genres. Each sub genre has its own distinct sound, classic songs and noteworthy artists. “But it all sounds the same...” False. That is like saying; “All beer tastes the same”, or “if you’ve had one kind of wine, you’ve had them all.” Just like anything worth enjoying and savoring, you must train yourself to identify and appreciate the wide scope of differences each sub genre brings to the table. Dubstep sounds nothing like Trance music. While House and Progressive share some similarities, but they also have stark differences. Some DJs use vocals from various artists and songs, while others leave out vocals all together. The genre and sub-genres are versatile and ever-changing. A single song can be cast
out through the web by one of the genre’s prime players and be remixed a million ways, and then some more by both signed and unsigned artists. In addition, there are infinite combinations that can be remixed from those remixes. Each new remix weaves its own sounds into the track, while still maintaining the integrity of the original; a digital art piece where both artist and admirer can fuse their ideas onto the same canvas.
Electronic music isn’t selling out to the mainstream; the mainstream is graciously selling out its hearts, ears and minds to its infectious sounds. The abbreviation “DJ,” stands for “Disk Jockey.” To me, and many other fans of the music, it doesn’t do the artists behind the turntables justice. If anything they are “DCs,” or “Digital Composers.” They are to the modern age what the great symphonists and composers were to the age of classical music — musical visionaries and virtuosos who use the instruments of their time to transform their sounds into rhythmic compositions. However, modern day DCs have the upper hand over their classical predecessors: the Internet and living in the digital age. Composers in centuries past had their talents and vision confined to the instruments and musical technology of their times. While still beautiful and revolutionary, the composers’ and orchestras’ capabilities and influence were restricted to small, often elite, circles of admirers. Some of the most beautiful music only made it to the ears of a small demographic and its powerful resonance was restrained from the masses, doing a disservice to both parties: the musician and the listener. But no more! Gone is the composer’s baton and chorus
pit of the past! They have been replaced with multiple LCD screens, computer monitors, CD turn tables, synthesizers, switchboards and a vast network of intertwined audio cables. With the click of a mouse and switch of a button the DC can import music from anywhere in the world and formulate it into his/her current musical piece, which treats the crowd to sounds alien from anything they’ve ever heard before. The music library of the World Wide Web is infinite and as versatile as the genre itself. It’s not uncommon to hear choruses of classic rock songs, video game jingles and pop music verses painted across the backdrop of an electronic beat, redefining everything you’ve known or thought you knew about the music. I believe the music’s appeal is due to the versatility described above and the ability for the DC to transport you to a different place with the flip of a switch and turn of a knob. It’s a place where everyone listening to the track is temporarily transported into a state of nirvana. Each drop and raise in tempo and sound hit a different point on the emotional spectrum before elevating the listener to the harmonious heavens of melody. There are some of you nodding your heads with a smile on your face because you know exactly what I am talking about. It’s that euphoric environment that entrenches you in the energy of the music. It’s hard to put into words, but definitely worth trying. The future is bright for the genre, sub genres, and the people making the music we love. It is up to us to help the scene mature even more and become a bigger force to reckon with. Don’t abandon your beloved electronic music just because others are gaining appreciation for it. And don’t bash newcomers for “showing up late to the party.” Rather invite them in, crank up the tunes and enjoy it together. Electronic music isn’t selling out to the mainstream; the mainstream is graciously selling out its hearts, ears and minds to its infectious sounds. Adam Ornelas UNM student

UNM’s Kendall Williams shoots the ball over UTEP’s Isaac Gordon on March 15 at The Pit. The Lobos’ season ended Monday, after losing to Alabama in the second round of the NIT, finishing with a 22-13 record for the season.
shaun24@unm.edu
From league-leading to middle of the pack, from the NCAA tournament to arguably the “Not Important” Tournament, the UNM men’s basketball team hit a wall one year after making a historic run. As head coach Steve Alford likes to remind people, the Lobos were without Darington Hobson and Roman Martinez — the latter graduated; the former left UNM to pursue a NBA career. Without them, guard Dairese Gary was left to lead the way — and he did for much of the 201011 season, until he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament. The Lobos entered MWC conference play, surprisingly, with a 12-3 nonconference record. Hindsight showed that they weren’t quality wins: All of the Lobos’ nonconference wins came against teams that missed out on the NCAA tournament. It showed during the MWC gauntlet. UNM was 2-4 against the MWC’s top three teams — San Diego State, BYU and UNLV — its only wins coming against BYU. Alford would have you think the Lobos tapered off because of inexperience and youth, but even his players didn’t prove that line of thinking. Freshman guard Kendall Williams and other coming-of-age players contributed above their years. In Gary’s absence at the end of the year, Williams showed signs of future leadership, scoring 18 points in back-toback NIT contests against UTEP and Alabama.

Freshman Tony Snell was big off the bench in the Lobos’ 86-77 upset of BYU at The Pit on Jan. 29. Snell scored a career-high 16 points and was 4-of-6 from beyond the 3-point line. Forward Alex Kirk scored a freshman-record 31 points against Cal State Bakersfield, but was dormant during conference play. That’s when UCLA transfer Drew Gordon, who sat out the first half of the season because of NCAA transfer rules, made his money. The 6-foot-9 inch forward from San Jose, Calif., averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds and was named the MWC Newcomer of the Year. Undoubtedly, the Lobos had key contributors, but were fueled, more or less, by Gary. UNM held a five-game winning streak, including four straight wins over BYU, heading into its semifinal tilt against the Cougars with NCAA tournament aspirations on the line. That’s when Gary tumbled — and with it, the Lobos’ shot at an automatic

Lockout — it’s a word that hasn’t escaped the ears of former UNM football players Bryant Williams and Byron Bell. Yes, the NFL is at a collective bargaining standstill, but for draft prospects there is no work stoppage. Even if drafted, the former wide receiver (Williams) and offensive lineman (Bell) can’t sign with teams until there is a collective bargaining agreement in place. That didn’t deter them from taking part in the Lobos’ Pro Day on Thursday. Williams and Bell, among other Lobos, worked out for NFL scouts from the New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals at the “Tow” Diehm Athletics Facility. For now, Williams is forging on as if the season will start in August, since negotiation is beyond his control. “I think that you have just got to let that take care of itself, for the most part,” Williams said. “There is nothing that you can really do, and there is no

much,” he said. “I guess I’ll just wait and see who calls and go from there.” Bell will also wait and see, but he said he was encouraged by his performance Thursday. “I got base numbers, and I tried to do the average of what was going on at the (NFL) combine,” he said. “I think that I impressed some scouts this morning, and hopefully, they go back to their teams and have some interest in me.” More than anything, Williams said he wanted to participate in the drills. If he has it his way, not only will he be in a NFL uniform when football finally commences, but he’ll be playing for the Indianapolis Colts. “That’s where I’m from and it’s my hometown,” Williams said. “Who better to play for than Peyton Manning and play under that organization that’s produced great wide receivers? … It would be a dream come true and my childhood dream because that’s all I’ve done since I was little.” The reality is it might just be a dream — unless the NFL and Players Association make headway.
al Tournament, but even that ended sour with a 74-67 loss at top-seeded Alabama. Even though UNM is losing Gary, its hub, its chances to get back into the league-leading conversation are good with the subtraction of BYU, which departs the MWC for the West Coast Conference next season. Utah is also leaving for the Pac-10 (soon to be Pac12).
San Diego State and UNLV will have their rosters raided by graduation, leaving the Lobos, more or less, intact. UNM might have concluded its season in an unimportant tournament, but the coming-of-age process the Lobos embarked on will prove beneficial next season. The Lobos proved they can see over the wall; now they must climb it.

bid to the NCAA tournament. UNM was not the same without its senior guard, who set a UNM career with 93 career wins. Gary sat alone on the bench at the end of the game in an uncomfortable and depressing end to a season that seemed promising. If it was any consolation, guards Jamal Fenton and Williams picked up Gary’s tab in the National Invitation-

point in really worrying about it.” Worrying about their stock, though, is what Williams and Bell can do. Bell, a 6-foot-5-inch, 330-pound tackle, had a respectable senior season and was voted by Mountain West Conference coaches to the 2010 MWC honorable-mention team with more than 100 knockdown blocks last season. CBSSports.com has Bell as the 26th ranked offensive lineman heading into this year’s draft. During Thursday’s drills, Bell put up 20 repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench press. He worked out with the Carolina Panthers last week, but from what he’s heard, he is staying modest about the draft. “I’ve heard all types of issues (with my play),” Bell said. “I’ll take the good and the bad, but I’m taking it one day at a time and trying to stay humble with the situation.” In the least, Bell is hearing from teams, which is more than Williams can say. So far, Williams said, no NFL teams have contacted him. “As of right now, I don’t know too
