SOMETHING TO HOWL ABOUT
Revised contract reduces buyout
thursday Professor sees FAS-free future Research could lead to better detection, treatment for those with syndrome by Chelsea Erven
Staff Report

sports@dailylobo.com UNM head football coach Mike Locksley will have a lot less to take to the bank if he’s let go at the end of the season or in the future. The Albuquerque Journal reported Wednesday that the thirdyear head coach signed a contract addendum Feb. 28 that reduces his buyout from $1.095 million to $450,000 if the University severs ties with him Mike Locksley without cause after the 2011 season. Athletics Director Paul Krebs told the Journal that the restructured deal made “economic sense.” Locksley also stands to benefit from the renegotiated terms. If the Lobos win six games this season, Locksley gets a $50,000 incentive. The revised contract also gives him more wiggle room if he leaves the University on his own volition or for another coaching opportunity. Under the original contract, Locksley would have owed the University $250,000 if he terminated his deal before the end of the 2011 season and $100,000 if he left at the end of 2011 or before 2014. But the addendum eliminated the penalties if the third-year coach leaves by choice.

Someday, UNM Professor Derek Hamilton hopes to eliminate fetal alcohol syndrome. Using lab rats for his research, Hamilton studies the effects of prenatal ethanol consumption because many children suffer with a moderate version of FAS that can go undetected for years. “What you might see in a textbook about fetal alcohol syndrome, that’s full-blown FAS, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. There is a full spectrum of fetal alcohol syndrome disorders, defined by the Centers for Disease Control, as a group of conditions that result from a person’s mother drinking alcohol during pregnancy. FAS includes a mix of physical and neurological problems. Full-blown FAS is easy to detect, Hamilton said, but moderate versions are less recognizable and equally devastating. In fact, .3-.7 percent of live births in the U.S. are afflicted by full-blown FAS, but anywhere from 5-20 percent have moderate FAS, he said. “In many cases, with lesser-affected children, behavioral impairment may not show up until the child goes to school and gets challenged,” Hamilton said. “It’s potentially a much, much larger number of children than we think.” Hamilton’s research is federally funded and done in a UNM lab. Pregnant rats consume ethanol during gestation, and Hamilton studies the behavior and brain function of their offspring. He said it’s harder to see the effects of FAS in rats exposed to lower amounts of ethanol. “You wouldn’t be able to tell, looking at these rats, that they’d had heavy exposure to ethanol because they haven’t,” he said. “But when put in certain challenging situations, when the demands of the task are a bit more strenuous, then you can observe deficits.” The rats consume regular drinking alcohol while

UNMH: No security changes after gun incident by Kallie Red-Horse kallie69@unm.edu
UNMH reviewed its security policy after a Jan. 4 shooting incident, but the hospital didn’t make changes to its policy. Daniel Cesar Dominguez-Garcia entered the hospital Jan. 4, with a gun, and fired a shot into the ceiling of the hospital’s pediatric floor after a dispute with his girlfriend. Dominguez-Garcia then left the building, leading police to lock down UNM and streets surrounding the hospital. UNMH spokesman Billy Sparks said the hospital reviewed its security policy following the incident but found nothing that could be improved. “In view of the incident, we analyzed our security to determine if there was adequate coverage and adequate internal support,” he said. “It was deemed there was.” The doors of the hospital allow anyone to enter the facility during daytime hours, Sparks said, but there are restrictions at later hours. He said that during the day there

are levels of coverage at entrances, with some opened and closed. At a certain point in the evening, only one entrance is open, and all entrances are monitored 24/7.
“The security force at the hospital is highly trained and in great contact with main campus police.” ~Billy Sparks UNMH Spokesman UNMH’s six entrances are camera-monitored by an unarmed security force, and Sparks said there is generally a security car parked by the emergency entrance. Still, somehow DominguezGarcia got into the hospital armed, and he was not the first to bring a weapon on the premises. Last June, a man’s concealed gun went off in the ER waiting room. No one was seriously

written and physical exams, before the license is placed through the instructor. Parker said license possession doesn’t enable carriers to bring a concealed weapon to hospitals, banks, public schools or other
public places. “If it is a privately owned business, it is at the discretion of the owner,” he said. Sparks said the hospital decided against installing metal detectors at entrances because of high patient traffic. There are 3.5 million patient encounters annually in UNMH facilities, including the pharmacy and emergency care, and monitoring such a large amount of traffic would be difficult, Sparks said. “Between traumas and ambulances coming in and all similar situations, it would be next to impossible to get someone though magnetometer when they need immediate care,” he said. Sparks said the hospital has confidence in its ability to handle another gunman situation. “What we have done is initiate dialogue between our security and campus police force for a top-tobottom review of procedure if that should happen again,” he said. “The security force at hospital is highly trained and in great contact with main campus police.”

Hamilton monitors their blood alcohol content. Hamilton said he is adamant about protecting his research animals. “They just drink it,” he said. “You don’t have to coax them to drink it ... They basically reach legal limits for intoxication, .08 BAC.” Hamilton said he hopes his work will improve the lives of children with unrecognized FAS. “How many of these kids are out there with behavioral problems?” he said. “How many people in jails are actually suffering from FAS, and we don’t know because they’re not easy to identify?” FAS lasts a lifetime, according to
the CDC. There is no cure for it, but research shows that early intervention treatment services can improve a child’s development. There is no known amount of alcohol that is safe to drink while pregnant, and according to the CDC, there is also no safe time or type to consume during pregnancy. Hamilton said he would like to see the FAS epidemic disappear entirely. “I remain optimistic that that can happen,” he said. “... My ultimate goal is to either directly or indirectly, through the influence of my work, lead to the development of treatments. Someone else, either now or later, might benefit from my work, and then it’s worth it.”

Groups focus on kindness, networking opportunities instead of competition by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
UNM Battle of the Bands is not a win-at-all-costs affair, but an avenue for creating alliances. The battle showcases up-andcoming students who have less performance opportunities than established bands, said Bryan Jurus, director of Student Special Events. He said the winner will play alongside Twista and Flosstradamus at Fiestas. “Battle of the Bands lends itself to finding new acts that we otherwise wouldn’t look at,” he said. “There’s a lot of bands that are going to be competing that may have never played before, and this is their first time to see how they do.” Josh Herrera, pianist for competitor the Noms, said the battle highlights UNM talent. “We’re kind of showing off the school, I guess you could say, because there’s not a whole lot that shows off the talent of the students at the school,” he said. Ross Vogel, drummer for competitor Static Reply, said his band views the event less as a competition and more as another chance to play for an audience.
“We’re not really looking to win,” he said. “We’re just going out to have fun and play a show. It’s less fun if it’s all competitive. I’d rather play a fun show with cool people.” Going into the competition with mean-spirited ferocity won’t give bands a competitive edge, said Sean Van Hoose, guitarist for competitor Marabout Saints. He said it’s more of a friendly competition and a time to connect with bands. “It’s more like networking,” he said. “You get to see more bands your age that play around Albuquerque, make connections, and if you go in it to win, you make a lot of enemies. And you don’t really want to do that if you’re a band because (if ) you help this band out, they may help you out down the road.” To date, 10 bands signed up, and Jurus said organizers looked into the bands to ensure they’re not just s o m e “ J o e Schmo.” Judging by what he’s heard online, Jurus said this year’s battle will have a rock slant. “(It) is neat because last year it was kind of more country folk,” he
said. “It changes year to year, and in an odd way, I think it kind of follows trends, and rock is coming back right now.” Van Hoose said the audience shouldn’t go into the event with expectations. “I think people should go there not expecting anything because if you’re expecting someone to be good and they’re not, then you’re disappointed,” he said. “But if you go in there without expectations, you walk out with a smile.”

GPSA president sets record straight about accusations
Student with housing issues behaved inappropriately
Editor,
Editor,
First off, I’d like to thank Rep. Joseph Dworak for his words of opposition to ”mud-slinging” in campaigns. Though I get the distinct impression that he is running against my presidency, I appreciate his efforts to maintain decorum. I think it is important to set the record straight on a few of his accusations. He accuses the current GPSA administration of ignoring the big picture and instead focusing on one-item agendas. My administration cares about New Mexico and our state’s future economic viability. We believe that having a highly educated work force will draw high-tech companies to this state, enabling us to generate revenue and jobs. Higher tuition and fees are barriers to education. The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems reports that New Mexico students borrowed an average of $5,200 in 2007, the second-highest average in the nation. We need to keep education affordable for everyone. Focusing our resources (e.g. student fees, capital dollars, Instruction & General, etc.) on entertainment instead of education diminishes the quality and quantity of our graduates. Currently, UNM reports a 13 percent four-year graduation and a 43 percent six-year graduation rate. This lags behind our peer institutions. Closed meetings and backroom deals prevent students, staff, faculty and taxpayers from holding decision-makers accountable — which allows for corruption and pet projects that are not in line with the academic mission. Videotaping the Student Fee Review Board meetings ensures that everyone can watch how our fees are being spent. With regard to our efforts to represent students’ interests: In January 2010, the GPSA Council called a special election (not a poll, not a survey, but an election run by UNM Information Technologies) that had an unprecedented turnout. More than 1,163 graduate and professional students (20 percent) participated, and more than 85 percent of those students that voted supported pulling funds from Athletics and redistributing them to programs more in line with the academic mission. In comparison, ASUNM reported only 12 percent of the undergraduate students turned out for their last presidential election. I appreciate Dworak’s efforts to hold the GPSA administration accountable, and I sincerely apologize if my “aggressive and outspoken” approach has offended him or any of his former ASUMM colleagues. It is my hope, however, that UNM is better for it.
Despite Chris Fullerton’s claims, both the vice president and associate vice president for Student Affairs worked extensively with him on his housing issues. As President David Schmidly’s chief of staff, I represented the president on several phone calls with Fullerton. I am also in charge of the president’s office and support my staff’s actions with regards to Fullerton’s visit. He was dishonest, disruptive and refused to listen to repeated requests to cease his behavior.
Lissa Knudsen GPSA President
Breda Bova UNM Chief of Staff
Why does Schmidly think NM families can pay tuition hike? Editor, President David Schmidly said it’s a misconception that New Mexican families cannot afford tuition increases. I almost threw up when I read this. Where on Earth does this guy come up with this stuff? Where did UNM find this guy? This is just another example that shows how detached Schmidly is from UNM students and families. Dear Mr. Schmidly, I invite you to spend a day with me working two jobs and attending classes, and then tell me I should have no problem affording tuition increases. William Burleigh UNM student
Letters Nuclear energy is not all bad, and it’s complicated to ban Editor, Joachim Oberst’s recent letter to the Daily Lobo demonstrated an admirable skill with prose and a remarkable ignorance regarding nuclear power and the Egyptian-style revolution he calls for. In his letter, Oberst paints a moving picture about the consequences of nuclear energy, but pretty pictures do not make a convincing argument. He calls for the end of nuclear energy without understanding the ramifications of that call. Japan relies on nuclear energy for 30 percent

During my work this legislative session as an Environment New Mexico intern, I saw firsthand an array of attacks undertaken against environmental regulations. Numerous bills were introduced that would have hindered our state’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (as well as other pollutants) in the future. In addition, several bills would have reduced the strictness of existing regulations or would have hindered the state’s regulatory agencies’ ability to enforce environmental law. One bill in particular (SB 489), had it been signed into law, would have threatened New Mexico’s participation in the Western Climate Initiative (WCI), a regional cap and trade part-
of its electricity, while countries like France use it for nearly 90 percent of their energy. What are these countries to do if they quit using nuclear energy? What alternatives do they have that are not costly in these economic times? Furthermore, is there even reason for such panic? The International Atomic Energy Agency uses a seven-point scale to categorize nuclear accidents, with seven being the most severe. In all of nuclear history, there have only been two events above Level 5, with Japan poised to be the third. Three. That’s it. In nearly 60 years of using nuclear reactors, we have only had three serious or major accidents. Yet here we are going strong. More people have died in plane crashes than in nuclear accidents, but I don’t see cries for revolts
against the government if they refuse to destroy all airplanes. Perhaps if every nuclear reactor on the planet suffered a sudden and complete catastrophic incident then the “end of history,” as Oberst puts it, would occur, but that only means that we should not neglect nuclear reactors the way Japan did. The lesson to be learned from Fukushima is that we should make sure that all possible safety measures are enacted with regards to nuclear power. Oberst’s suggestion that we should engage in revolution that would claim more lives than a nuclear power accident is far from a rational course of action and fails to address the issues raised by Fukushima.
nership with about 10 other western states, including Arizona and Colorado, which is scheduled to begin operating in 2012. A regional cap-and-trade program in the American west will be a vital step in the development of renewable energy in our state and country. America’s economic dependence on fossil fuel is not only environmentally destructive, but it is the greatest threat to our long-term economic prosperity. Well-designed and strictly enforced cap-and-trade programs reward energy companies that invest in renewables and penalize those that do not. Over time, the amount of carbon permits available through the program decreases, legally mandating a reduction in emissions. The cap-and-trade program proposed in the WCI provides a smart, competitive and market-driven mechanism we can use to decrease our dependence on electricity from fossil fuels. We can also encourage the development
of renewable energy infrastructure that will provide electricity and employment opportunities to New Mexicans for generations to come. We are grateful that our legislators did the right thing and stood up for New Mexico’s environment by voting down the bills that attacked the WCI and other regulations that would have put New Mexico’s environment and energy development in jeopardy. However, it is unlikely that these battles are over. We must remain vigilant and prepare for the impending 2012 legislative session battles. Fortunately, New Mexico remains on track to a cleaner and greener future, thanks in large part to environmental activists across the state and the support of so many unsung heroes in the legislature.

Get your prank on, fool Editor’s Note: April Fools’ Day is tomorrow, and it’s bound to be filled with joy, dread or mild annoyance. Either way, if you are looking to avoid being the butt of a joke, or do an awesome one yourself, check out these pranks for tips.
In 1987, Lynn Hudson played a prank on an Easter church camp with the classic plastic-wrap-onthe-toilet gag. Hudson and friends planned to do it for a while, and they started setting up in the girls’ bathrooms at 3 a.m. They waited in a thicket of trees until the girls headed to the bathrooms. “Soon after, there were a whole lot of loud screaming coming from the girls’ toilets as they let their bladders loose right on top of a layer of plastic wrap and back up at them instead of in,� he said. The tricksters went a step further and rigged the showers, where they expected the girls to flee to after using the toilets. “The water came out, busting right through the layer of tissue and carrying a very non-diluted Kool-Aid-colored hair dye. And of course the girls had their eyes closed when they turned the wa-
ter on and didn’t notice for a few seconds, just long enough to thoroughly change their hair and skin color.� Camp counselors suspected the boys were the culprits, but Hudson and his friends never got caught. However sadistic, Pat Corr decided to toy with his father’s emotions one April Fools’ Day. He said he tricked him into believing the family’s cat, Taco, died. “We got a stuffed animal and put it in the distance and said, ‘What the shit? Is that Taco out there? Oh, he must just be tuckered out from exploring that night.’� Two hours later, his father looked out the window and saw that the Taco look-alike wasn’t moving. That’s when Corr gave him the bad news. “I said, ‘Dad, I think we lost Taco,’� he said. “He looked out the window with a distraught face, a tear on the brink. Two seconds later, the real Taco walks out and meows.� ~Alexandra Swanberg UNM junior Andy Swords undertook a simple prank in high school. He looked to toilet-paper his pastor’s son’s car. Swords’ TPing work was done before youth group, but he had a feeling something was wrong. “Little did I know, he was watching me through the front door the whole time,� he said. “I got a lot of crap for it for the longest time after that.� Student Brianne Peterson remembered one April Fools’ Day not being quite as light-hearted.
“One time this guy called me and made his voice sound like he got in a really bad car accident, like he was dying,� she said. “That made me call the cops and drive out there to get him.� When she arrived at the scene of the “crash,� Peterson received quite the shock. “I’m in tears and he says ‘April Fools,’� she said. “It was awesome, so much fun.� ~Antonio Sanchez

It wasn’t April Fools’ Day, but “Jeremy� decided that it would be funny to spike his Boy Scout troop’s drinks with Ex-Lax during a 50-mile hiking trip. Slightly miffed, Jeremy’s troop mates decided that when April Fools’ Day came around, Jeremy would regret the “bowel assault.� Jeremy has an immense fear of bugs. So much so that even as a nature-inclined Boy Scout, he sprayed the perimeter of his tent with bug repellant. He also slept on a raised cot. That night Troop 85 laced Jeremy’s Kool-Aid with a sleeping pill, so he went to bed early. His troop mates then duct-taped him inside his sleeping bag to his cot and dragged Jeremy outside of his tent. They propped him against a tree, but he hardly noticed that he was being duct-taped to the tree, with a strip placed across his forehead. Jeremy woke up to find he was in the middle of nature, with spiders laying eggs in his hair. ~Juanita Martinez

AN UNSETTLING CHALLENGE by Graham Gentz gbgentz@unm.edu
“I
t’s a seven-pound stuffed sopapilla, dude.” “I realize that, Zach.” Zach Gould was the photographer who first embarked on the Albuquerque Food Challenge project. “I mean.” I continued, mostly to myself. “I’m trying to get a physical handle on the mass of it. Just the mass.” Zach drove his ratty truck up the North I-25 rush-hour traffic shifting through slow, wide lanes of SUVs that dwarfed us. “I bought 10 pounds of potatoes last night.” I said. “So I have that to go on. But this is a bag of fatty madness.” “Do you really think you can eat it?” Zach asked. “I don’t know, man.”
“It’s seven pounds of food —” “—I know—“ “—which means. It’s probably three pounds of chicken...three pounds of beef…” I tried to imagine a single pound of meat. I summoned mental fragments of fleshy TV dinners and fatty grocery aisle meats. My chances didn’t seem good. The economic reasons for eating challenges make sense: It’s all marketing. What’s really mind-boggling to me is that the challenges are popular. American mentalities play into it, surely. The machismo of competition and the reward of a free meal is too much to pass up for the male mind. We like to think we’re elite and that we’re smart and savvy enough to beat the system. The shocking part to me is that the “elite” revolve around the manfully virile lard bucket. And here I was, getting ready to take part in that same tradition that encouraged and celebrated gluttony as success.
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo A Sadie’s prep cook piles pounds of chicken, beef, beans, papas, cheese, red and green chile, and garnish on a sopapilla.
T
he view of the Sadie’s sign ahead conjured feelings of guilt, gluttony and dread. Or maybe just hunger. “Welcome to Sadie’s,” the doorman mumbled. Jerry, the manager, was friendly, leading us back to the thick New Mexican dungeon that was Sadie’s kitchen. The massive tin factory of heat and sound boomed as the factored armies packed the space with clamoring Spanish and physical weight. The sopa itself — the size of a small child — was produced and laid out in front of us. As the ingredients gathered, it didn’t seem that bad. The combined beef and chicken weighed about a pound. Piles of papas and frijoles were stuffed inside, but they seemed within a doable realm. My mouth watered as the red chile was ladled en masse on one half and green on the other. The top flap of the sopa was placed over the top and down rained the blubbery layer of cheese. The cook lifted up the fatty beast and weighed it. My mouth dropped — “Six pounds.” “With the garnish and everything, it’ll weight about seven pounds,” the cook said, casually.
“It’s almost there.” He threw more cheese across the top, and I watched in horror as the needle crept toward the little, red “7.” The sopa was carried off on a pizza pan and placed in a heater for the cheese to melt. “I personally don’t really have much of a choice serving it,” the cook said. “I just think it’s really obnoxious.” I stood and stared at my bulging opponent. I had seen manholes that were smaller. Garnished and horrid and smelling delicious, it waited patiently for its purpose to be fulfilled. It had a soul as I stared into it, its new life in my hands. I watched every step of its emotional creation, all leading to this moment. “Go ahead and eat it, I guess,” Zach said, flatly. I took my first bite. I hacked and sawed and chewed and bit and ripped and crammed and shoved and swallowed. And then repeated, keeping up speed. And yeah, it was tasty. The beef and red chile at the back of the beast was good, but it was hard to really enjoy. I was tearing out sections and eating them and segmenting out more.

I could feel it wanting to work its way back up, the pressure and nausea that occurs when your body is subtly trying to tell you you’re being a complete moron. “I don’t know why you’re even still doing this,” Zach said to me as I slumped over table. “It’s the principle of the thing,” I mumbled over the pile of cheese and bean tissue. “We already got it for free. Why does it matter?” “I feel drunk,” I answered. This was it, I realized. Zach was right. If I tried to finish it, I would certainly puke. There was no doubt. I felt uncomfortable about the entire scenario anyway. Maybe I could escape with some semblance of dignity if I didn’t turn into Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life” in the Sadie’s dining hall. Suddenly a waitress appeared out of nowhere. “How is everything?” she asked sweetly. All I could do was laugh.

IF YOU GORGE AND KEEP IT DOWN, IT’S FREE by Zach Gould
Chillz Frozen Custard
Albuquerque has an undiscovered world of food challenges. And at places that you’d least expect. Thankfully, the Daily Lobo explored Burque’s decadent world of eating challenges.
The Chillz Challenge whips up enough ice cream for 15 people. It has eight regularsized scoops of frozen custard with eight toppings and eight mini waffles. If you eat it under 30 minutes, it’s free. Out of 250 people that tried, only nine have successfully completed it.

Grandma’s K&I Diner The Silver Travis is a 10-pound, “very, very, big-ass burrito that has a lot of fries on top, and if you eat it in an hour, it’s free.” The costumer who first ordered the burrito had it named after him. In the 50 years K&I has been open, only a few have finished the burrito.
Cost if you fail: $15
Cost if you fail: $25
Cecilia’s Cafe The 10-pound Fireman’s Burrito has two pounds of potatoes, a half pound each of beans, bacon, sausage, chicharrones and carne adovada with three tortillas smothered in a pound of red and green chile. Originally, contestants had an hour and a half to complete the challenge. Only one contestant has eaten the burrito, and he ate it in 36 minutes. Fifty contestants tried the contest since its creation in 2010. The person who beats the champ’s time will win a $100 Cecilia’s food-challenge jacket.
Sadie’s of New Mexico
Turquoise Trail Bar & Grille
The Sopapilla Challenge is a seven-pound dinner. It’s filled with chicken or beef, smothered in red or green chile, topped with salsa and tostados and a small sopapilla for dessert. Contestants have an hour to finish the giant. Fifty people tried it since it’s inception in 2009, and only four contestants won.
Just outside of Santa Fe, Buffalo Resort Casino has a gigantic burger challenge. The Blast Resort Burger is a 96-ounce — that’s six pounds — burger on a bun with french fries. Most of the time, “three big guys or a family will split one burger.” If you eat it in 30 minutes, it’s eat free. Only one person has ever finished the burger.
