Regents get final say on secession
Students host vigil for slain professor by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
Students, staff and community members continue to remember the life and work of professor Hector Torres and stuBake sale for dent Stefania Gray. Hector Torres and The two were found dead at Stefania Gray Torres’ home March 8. Ralph Today Montoya, 38, confessed to the Smith Plaza murders to his lawyer and has 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. been indicted by a grand jury on 17 counts stemming from stalking and the murder of Torres and Gray. A memorial is set to take place April 9 at noon at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Former students of Torres organized the event. “He was exceptionally brilliant, compassionate and would go above and beyond for students and was beyond inspirational,” said Robby Ortiz, an organizer for the event. “It’s really just a way to honor him as an educator. Anyone who had him as a professor or graduate assistant, any of his colleagues or anyone who knew the work he did on a national scale will be there. It’ll be a real eclectic gathering of people who have memories about Hector.” Ortiz was writing his thesis with Torres and was the professor’s student for two semesters. Oscar Ortega, a student in Torres’ Chicano studies class, said the news of his death left him compelled to organize students and begin setting up a memorial. “It came as instinct. It felt like the right thing to do at that moment,” he said. “The way he went out was not an honorable death. I thought, ‘Let’s give him something better to celebrate.’ This is our way to atone for the wrong that happened to him.” The Sigma Alpha Omega sorority organized a bake sale to raise money for the memorial. The group plans to use the funds to purchase a memorial brick that will be placed at the NHCC plaza. Any additional funds will go to the Hector Torres Scholarship Fund, which was set up by members of the English department after his death. “I went to the funeral and the wake, and it was pretty obvious the impact he had on the community,” said

Kaine: Loan reform will make college affordable by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
The Daily Lobo sat in on a conference call with the head of the Democratic National Committee and the head of the College Democrats of America. Tim Kaine, chairman of the DNC, and Katie Naranjo, president of the CDA, held the conference call Tuesday to discuss the new Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act. The SAFRA is attached to the health care bill and will make college more affordable for students, Kaine and Naranjo said. Kaine said the bill will free up $68 billion in federal funds, which will go to help lower the cost of student loans. “It eliminates subsidies that are just not in it to private bankers by switching to a system of direct lending for federal student loans,” he said. “This will save taxpayers the subsidy amount, which is $68 billion over the next 10 years. SAFRA meets the pay-as-you-go fiscal responsibility principles.” Naranjo said President Obama supported the bill to help Americans afford a

college education. “Recently, Obama addressed the issue of college affordability, declaring that no one should be denied an education simply because they can’t afford it,” she said. “We’re very lucky that we have not only a president that listens to young people on our issues but to have members of Congress who will help him and enact more legislation like this.” Obama set a goal to improve Americans’ competitiveness in the world, Kaine said. “He set a very ambitious goal of having the highest percentage of college graduates in the world by 2020,” Kaine said. “Beginning 20 or 30 years ago, other nations started to pass us by, and now, by some measures, we’re ninth or 10th in the world. And if we don’t do something different, more nations will continue to pass us.” This bill gives more funds to colleges than any bill in the history of the country, Kaine said. “This is the single largest investment in higher education in the history of this country, and it’s going to enable us to regain and sustain a competitive advantage in the global marketplace — all of this done simply by ending the practice of subsidizing financial institutions,” he said. “Now, financial institutions are still going to have a
significant and important role to service the loans, but they will not be getting the dramatic subsidy for originating the loans.” The bill specifies that all student-loan processing will be handled within the U.S., Naranjo said. “Today, jobs were created (because) 100 percent of the direct loans will be serviced by private lenders in the U.S.,” she said. “And today, students and family members have a peace of mind that going to college and seeking opportunities won’t cost an arm and a leg.” Kaine said the bill will not create any further budget deficits or cost money to taxpayers. “For those who are concerned about federal spending, they should be very happy about this, because what we’re doing is we’re taking a program and we’re going to save $68 billion in subsidies that were being paid by the federal government to financial institutions,” he said. The bill is important to the future of the American economy, Kaine said. “When a student doesn’t have that financial access to education, or they can’t afford to finish their degree or training program, it’s not just that student that suffers; it’s the entire economy,” he said. “SAFRA’s going to help students realize their dreams of getting affordable higher education.”
The UNM Regents will determine whether or not the School of Law will secede from GPSA. Of 343 law students, 110 voted from March 24-26 by e-mail ballot on whether they should leave GPSA. More than 70 percent voted in favor of succession. Othiamba Umi, president of the Student Bar Association — the UNM School of Law student government — said 110 students is a high turnout. “Essentially, when you have over 300 students, it’s hard to get that many to vote on anything because they’re so busy,” he said. The SBA will now begin collecting signatures for a petition in favor of secession that they hope to present to the Board of Regents, said SBA President-elect Corinne Hale. “We’re hopeful that there will be a secession from the GPSA, but we can’t make that binding decision. The Board of Regents has to,” she said. “Unfortunately with secession there’s not really a set pattern. No one has done it since the GPSA started.” Hale starts her term as president of SBA on Thursday. She said that if the law school waits to present its request for secession at the Regents’ next official meeting in the summer, it may be too late to keep student fees within the law school. The law school gives $17,300 in student fees to GPSA each year, Hale said. “We don’t feel that our funds are being appropriated correctly; we think that we’re putting in too much money and not getting enough back in return,” said law student Jonathan Turner. Turner said that if SBA is the only student government representing the law school, then law school students will have more control over where their funding is spent. Law student Stephen Ochoa said many law school students were frustrated that GPSA included a question about confidence in Athletics Director Paul Krebs’ handling of the Sept. 20, 2009 altercation between UNM football coach Mike Locksley and assistant coach J.B. Gerald on a special election ballot. “That’s just not GPSA’s position,” Ochoa said. “We don’t think they’re a professional organization, so why would a professional school be a part of it?” SBA Rep. Moses Winston said he thinks GPSA membership is useful to students. “I see the value GPSA has for the law school,” he said. “I think they provide services for the law school. I think a lot of the current and future students would benefit from the services

Slam originator headed to Duke City by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
When Marc Smith’s name is mentioned at a poetry slam, the audience is supposed to shout, “Who cares!” So who cares that Smith, said to be the originator of the slam poetry art form, is coming to Albuquerque on Thursday? Albuquerque cares, said Danny Solis, Albuquerque Slam Poet Laureate. “Albuquerque loves poetry and the poetry slam, and Marc Smith is the founder of the poetry slam,” he said. Solis said Smith revolutionized the world of performance poetry.

“Marc created a whole new way of looking at the possibilities of poetry,” he said. “Marc is a unique performer. He pushes boundaries like no one else I’ve ever seen. He’s ruthlessly honest and unabashedly ferocious.” The 21-and-over event will be held at the Atomic Cantina on Thursday starting at 7 p.m. and also includes an open-mic segment. Registration for the open mic starts at 6:45 p.m. Solis said Smith is always happy to talk to anyone who comes to the event and wants to meet him. “He’s a very open guy. If anyone wanted to talk to him, I’m sure they can do that,” he said. Solis said he learned the art of

Winston said there is still a possibility that the law school won’t secede. “I don’t think the SBA is dead set on either seceding or staying with the GPSA,” he said. “More so we’re going

to respond to the student interest.” Umi said SBA conducted the email vote to gather information, and it’s up to the incoming council to decide where to go from here. He said law students have been talking about leaving GPSA for years. “It’ll be up to the new students to keep this up, rally behind it and make sure we have a committee to gather information,” he said. “It’s going to be a lot of work.”
Umi said the SBA would be able to fund more students who travel for mock trials and conferences if its money wasn’t going to GPSA. He said he isn’t sure how secession will affect the law school’s relationship with graduate students. “It might sever relationships between graduate students and law students, but it might not,” he said. “You really can’t project that until it happens.”

From the web Pat Lohmann’s article “Admins just don’t understand,” published on Monday, detailed a protest that occurred where about 50 students joined together to support a $10 increase per student in student fees that would go towards some nonprofit organizations and a new Queer Resource Center. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘Raymond Suelzer’ Posted Monday “I am happy to see that the administration is taking the students voices seriously, and I hope that Board of Regents will vote to follow the recommendations of our elected student leaders.” by ‘Andrew’ Posted Monday “I don’t get it. Cheo Torres is making a tough but responsible choice. Not to start new centers in a time of financial turmoil and pass the burden in terms of higher tuition and student fee rates onto the already strapped student body. Period. He is being fiscally responsible. What part of that don’t you understand? Pull your idealistic head out of your rear end. Student leaders may champion good causes but often fail to see the larger picture especially when it comes to paying for projects over the long haul. I trust Cheo. He has far more admin experience than you do.” by ‘Dorfmeister’ Posted Monday “You’re right Andrew, Cheo does have more admin experience than us, and that totally makes him more knowledgeable on what the students want and need. The administrators are denying this request by the student body to make their tuition hike easier to swallow. These programs, as well as the resource center, would not only improve the quality of an education at UNM but also help network students and connect them to one another. The programs help students financially by allowing them to share resources as well as by creating internships and employment. Furthermore, I believe that the University administration is threatened by the student empowerment that will and does result from participation in groups such as the Community Learning and Public Service program, the Research Services Learning Program and the Queer Resource Center.” by ‘Leave queer resource open!’ Posted Monday “If not for them, I’d be home all alone. It’s where I meet my next kicking. Leave it alone please, and please fund it even if you are against us queers. We need you to pay for our loving.” Join the Discussion at DailyLobo.com

Letters SFRB should continue to decide how student fees are spent Editor, The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs’ recent recommendation to President David Schmidly and the UNM Board of Regents to ignore the Student Fee Review Board’s requests for the allocation of student fees in the upcoming school year undermines UNM’s stated missions and threatens the long-term viability of the University as a whole. UNM created the SFRB to ensure that students in particular, and program staff and community members generally, would have a say in how student monies are spent and that student fees would be dispensed in an open, transparent, carefully considered and democratic manner. This decision disregards the student and community voice by including a
College doesn’t provide real experience, is a waste of time Editor, I am graduating soon and while college and educational experiences were often positive, there is significant fault at hand.

recommendation to cut all student funding for the Research Service Learning Program, Community Learning and Public Service, New Mexico Public Interest Research Group and a suspension of plans to fund the student’s request for a Queer Resource Center. The funding approvals now under consideration by President Schmidly and the Board of Regents are about far more than finances, budgetary restraints or keeping student fees low. These decisions are about setting educational, public service and funding priorities and about whether students and the staff members that serve student needs will have a share in setting those priorities. The cuts under consideration are also about the future of UNM. A decision by the president and the regents to cut these programs would mean taking students and the services they provide out of our communities, undermining public service and civic engagement and eliminating important initiatives that attract world-class
students, faculty, staff and researchers to our University. Budgetary challenges and the constraints of tough economic times should be met with shared sacrifice and sound, reasoned, and fair fiscal management not with targeted cuts that jeopardize UNM’s ability to meet its missions and call into question the commitment of University administrators and policy makers to serve the needs of students and the people of New Mexico. Students, faculty and staff should call or write to UNM decision makers today and urge them to respect the stated needs and desires of UNM students by supporting the SFRB’s decision to fund Research Service Learning and other programs vital to UNM’s education, health and public service missions.
nothing to their lives besides the insincere self-assurance that they are empathetic to the weak and disenfranchised. In reality, they know nothing of real hardship or difference. They don’t know how to overcome challenge because life dealt them a bad hand and everyone else is to blame. Art and music degrees allow students to believe that they can leave college with no skills other than creating the nude image of a human being on canvas. These are the lessons we have chosen to teach our youth. Do not work hard. Do not respect the body. Wither your time away on music, pleasure and
useless Socratic seminars. They will leave your college thinking as these were the best moments of their lives and when their bodies are no longer beautiful, they will think only of the past. Staying alive, young, beautiful and taking pleasure over values, challenge, hard work and a real understanding of where the boundaries of our lives lead. When your actions now speak louder than your words, then you have a college degree.

Broadcasting bike breaks barriers for personal media by Candace Hsu Daily Lobo
Radio has taken a new wave, literally going mobile. Dylan Stevens-Sheriff, Parker Jennings and Seth Grant put together a broadcast tricycle. The inspiration came from their Broadcast Arts class. Stevens-Sheriff, a junior in studio arts, was a contributor in creating the tricycle. “We started planning around the beginning of this semester,” he said. “It’s taken a couple months to get things together. Our goal with it is to show people that it is easy and inexpensive to create your own radio station. We want to encourage public access and participation with the medium of broadcast.” The tricycle is equipped with a fully-functional radio station. It is composed of a mixing board, an FM transmitter, an antenna and two microphones. The radio is powered by a car battery, StevensSheriff said. The transmitter is a one-watt, which is just below the legal limit. It covers a quarter to a half-mile radius around the tricycle. Grant and Jennings constructed the bike. “We take it around and travel through the city,” Stevens-Sheriff said. “We’re going to take it through Santa Fe. We took it to the Peace Fair and have taken it around the University.” In March, the group submitted a proposal to the Prix Ars Festival in Austria. The festival is hosted by the Ars Electronica School. The proposal was to build more tricycles that would be shipped to different locations around the globe.
The tricycles would be used to travel around and encourage community participation, StevensSheriff said. “The proposal was called Global Nomadic Radio Dialogue. The people who would receive the bikes can use the mobile radio to interact with others and create a live broadcast,” Stevens-Sheriff said. “One example of the community participation is we rode the bike around and found a band performing on the street. We just had the band play into our microphones and it was broadcasted on our radio.” Stevens-Sheriff said, if the “mobile radio” wins the festival, Grant, Stevens-Sheriff and Parker will receive a $10,000 budget to build the tricycles, and a three-month residency in Austria. They will get the results in May. The trio is also hoping to get a sponsorship to help fund their tricycles. They hope to get the tricycle to run on solar power. “Everyone seems really excited when they see the bike,” he said. “We get a few mixed reactions when it comes to participating. Some people don’t want to be around the microphones, but most people like to get on (the) air. There are a few people who treat it really personally and just talk about what’s important to them. Other people have conversations with us and have questions about what we’re doing.” Grant, Jennings and StevensSheriff also worked on a project called The Subculture Artist

Harwood Art Center 1114 Seventh St. N.W. Harwood’s four galleries have plenty for the easily distracted. Upstairs, the conglomerated mediums of drawing, painting, ceramics, mixed media, sculpture, photography, graphics and video from Volcano Vista High School students line the halls. Darby Photos, art director said attendees will have a good time chatting with the energetic high school students. “The high school students are just really excited to be doing this,” she said. “The work is really raw. They haven’t had the experience of art school. They are just sort of making things from their gut, and you can find some real gems that you didn’t expect.” The main floor features paintings by artists Claudia Baragiola and Carol Carpenter. The two have been friends since high school, Photos said. “The two shows don’t necessarily reflect each other, but they reflect shared lives,” she said. Baragiola’s works are done with oil paints and focus on her interpretations of still lives of fruit and flowers on 2-foot by 4-foot canvases. Carpenter’s work’s are watercolors of street scenes in Albuquerque
Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice 202 Harvard Drive S.E. Sriram Madhusoodanan, the New Mexico organizer for the Think Outside the Bottle campaign, is coordinating the showing of two water-related films, “Blue Gold: World Water Wars” and “The Story of Bottled Water.” “Blue Gold” is a documentary, directed by Sam Bozzo, based on the book by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke. Madhusoodanan said the documentary tries to educate the public about the companies that are trying to privatize fresh water and sell it as a commodity. “Last week I released a report along with (Think Outside the Bottle campaign) coalition partners, which showed that the state was spending almost up to $80,000 on purchasing bottled water,” he said. “And in a time where we have this significant budgetary crisis, this is just an unnecessary expense and it sends the wrong message about the quality of our public water system.” The Story of Bottled Water, is a five-minute video narrated by Annie Leonard. It is part of a larger online educational video series called The Story of Stuff. Madhusoodanan said the clip looks at how bottled water companies have scared Americans into buying bottled water when much of it is the same water as tap water.
been seeing people have fun with it,” Stevens-Sheriff said. “It’s cool to see what people do when they have the opportunity. I think TV and radio broadcasting seem like mediums that are off limits to the public. Most people don’t think that they can set up a radio sta-
tion when they want, and the truth is, they can. It is easy to do. This is a prime example of how compact and easy it is to operate your own radio station. With this bike, participants can use it to interact with others and create a live broadcast.”
