The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

Former provost fought to update University’s peers

by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu

Most of UNM’s peer institutions don’t consider the University their equal, and soon UNM might give in to peer pressure.

UNM’s peer institutions haven’t changed since at least the 1990s, and of UNM’s 16 peer institutions, only two schools, University of Utah and University of Washington, count UNM among their peer institutions.

The University of Washington had UNM on only one of three lists it uses for self-evaluation, according the University of Washington website.

In 2008, Mark Chisholm, director of UNM’s Office of Institutional Research, said then-provost Viola Florez asked UNM to re-evaluate its peers.

Chisholm said he compared student body characteristics, such as ethnic profile and number of commuter students, but the project lost steam when Florez left the University, and it’s been on the backburner since.

State requires DNA New regent finds footing “An individual regent has testing for felonies no authority at all. The

Gov. Susana Martinez signed an expansion of Katie’s Law into legislation Wednesday at a Rotary Club meeting in Carlsbad.

The law requires DNA samples be taken for felony arrests.

“For five years, we have seen that Katie’s Law has achieved real results,” Martinez said in a statement.

“Crimes solved, crimes prevented and lives saved. Now, we are able to do even more. Requiring a DNA sample from anyone arrested for a felony crime will make this important law even more effective.”

As the district attorney in Doña Ana County, Martinez lobbied for the passage of the original Katie’s Law. The original law required a DNA sample in the case of violent felonies, such as rape and murder.

With the expansion, DNA samples will be processed in the case of a felony warrant, a probable cause hearing ordered from a magistrate court judge or when the suspect doesn’t show up for a bail or bond hearing.

State Rep. Al Park (D-Albuquerque) said he worked with Sen. Vernon Asbill (R-Carlsbad) the past year on the expansion. Sen. Mary Kay Papen (D-Las Cruces) and Asbill spon-

sored the bill, and the House and the Senate voted to amend Katie’s Law with bi-partisan support.

“With the net being broader, we’re going to capture people who have committed crimes in the past,” Park said.

Katie’s Law was passed in 2006, as a result of the brutal rape and murder of Katie Sepich in 2004.

Sepich’s boyfriend was exonerated because she had DNA beneath her fingernails that did not match her boyfriend’s. Because of DNA evidence, Gabriel Avila was convicted of the murder shortly after being arrested for burglary.

Park said comprehensive DNA testing is intended to convict a higher percentage of criminals. He said the expansion will exonerate the innocent, capture the guilty and protect victims.

“We’re going to make sure that people are fully held accountable, and they’re not going to be out there committing crimes, meaning that the public’s going to be protected,” Park said.

Since 2006, when the original Katie’s Law was passed, 23 other states have passed similar laws. The expansion of this bill makes New Mexico criminal DNA databases one of the most rigorous in the country, Park said.

New regent Bradley Hosmer said UNM can lead the country in changing the education system.

Hosmer was the superintendent of the Air Force Academy and the president of the National Defense University before retiring in 1994.

Unlike his colleagues, Hosmer said after retirement he worked probono advising, helping and consulting high-tech industries in Silicon Valley and the Department of Defense. There, he said long-term planning entailed asking an organization where it wanted to be in

five or 10 years, and then shaping actions to achieve those goals. And he said the same strategy can be applied to educational reform.

“I guess you could call that proactive planning and action as op-

posed to reactive, which happens an awful lot,” he said. “So with that spirit, I’ve tried to be useful where I’ve lived and in organizations I’ve been asked to help.”

Hosmer said his experience working on boards for large, complex organizations taught him the importance of working together to promote the University’s goals. He said he’s focused on the budget right now.

“An individual regent has no authority at all,” he said. “The regents have authority only as a group. The kinds of things that I have in mind

of going to the state and requesting a whole bunch of new peers right now,” Chisholm said. “You really need someone at a high-executive level that thinks it’s really important.”

Chisholm said it’s hard for UNM to find comparable institutions that are similar across the board.

“It probably turns out that there isn’t a perfect group of peers that works for all purposes,” he said. “So I think (it’s OK) as long as you explain why you picked the ones you picked.”

The New Mexico Higher Education Department sets the University’s peer institutions, but UNM approves the selections. Peer institutions provide formulas for legislative funding and salary comparisons for faculty positions, Chisholm said. He said UNM pays its faculty about 10 percent less than its peer institutions.

“Our faculty salaries haven’t kept up with any peer groupings,” he said. “They tend to average at about 90 percent of the faculty salaries of the Higher Education Department’s (peer) group. When I look at the adjacent states, it’s still at about 90 percent.”

CU Boulder is one of UNM’s peer institutions, but CU’s director of Institutional Research and Analysis Lou McClelland said Boulder does not count UNM as one of its peer institutions. She said Boulder is in the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group, Chisholm said, UNM

Hosmer from page 1 are personal to me. So far, there’s not yet been an occasion when I can work with enough of my colleagues to know that the regents as a group support some of these things. So, for me to say, ‘We’re going to do this or that’ would be speculation.”

Hosmer said New Mexico is the perfect place to effect change in the education system.

“If you look around for places in which you could begin to test out an improvement, and do so dramatically, it’s difficult to find a place that would be a better test bed than in the state of New Mexico,” he said.

“The entire college/university structure in New Mexico is important to this picture, and it’s important that they all work in consonance to a common gameplan.”

Having had little opportunity outside regents’ meetings to share his thoughts, Hosmer said he is trying to absorb how the University operates.

“It may be of course that there’s very effective long-term planning going on at the University right now, and I just don’t know about it,” he said. “I’m the new guy here, and I’m still learning a lot about how the University functions and where all the levers are.”

Hosmer said he wouldn’t have taken the job on unless he believed in educational reform.

“I think that education in the U.S. is in desperate straits and can be fixed,” he said. “I think New Mexico is an ideal place to pilot test strong improvements. I think UNM is a place to come to understand the role of higher education in that change. I think the future of UNM may be very bright, and if I didn’t think those things were all true, I wouldn’t be here.”

President David Schmidly wants the University to join.

McClelland said Boulder has been a part of AAU for quite some time.

“It’s an invitation-only group,” she said. “We exchange data through the AAU, so there is data available to those institutions that would not be available through other public resources.”

“Our faculty salaries haven’t kept up with any peer groupings.” ~Mark Chisholm Director of Institutional Research In 2008, New Mexico State University changed some of its peer institutions, said Candice Guzie, interim director of the Office of Institution Research and Support.

“We looked for similar qualities like sizes, ethnic breakdown and mission statement,” she said.

Chisholm said UNM’s original peer group was picked on selective criteria, such as mission statement and size. He said the Board of Regents wanted UNM to pick peers that are geographically close, specifically no more than four universities east of the Mississippi.

“They didn’t want any of the California schools because they are considered very unique and probably

not comparable,” Chisholm said. “In UNM’s case, they looked at mostly land grant/flagship universities in the region, the mix of programs and relative size.”

Chisholm said that if UNM finds new peers, he wants to add more criteria to help determine the comparability of the institutions, such as number of commuter students, and graduation and retention rates.

“And income is big,” he said. “I think sometimes income (is a bigger factor) than diversity.”

If UNM changes its peers in the future, Chisholm said, it will use parts of NMSU’s process. He said UNM might add a school like the University of Houston or Temple University as a peer.

“We would probably have a balance of institutions whose students are similar to ours, and some that have a research mission similar to ours,” he said.

In the past, Chisholm said his office researched adjusting UNM’s peers, but it’s a long, involved process that needs legislative support.

But he added that if UNM altered its peer groups, it would put the University’s faculty salaries and formula funding into perspective.

“We want to update and modify the institutions,” he said. “We have to involve all the relevant parties and go to get data and analysis. There just has been so much stuff going on with the budget right now.”

Crews work to contain NM fires

by Sue Major Holmes Associated Press

Strong fire lines were helping firefighters keep a wildfire contained in southern New Mexico despite winds gusting up to 40 mph Wednesday afternoon.

Crews worked to strengthen the lines during the morning in advance of high winds kicking up in the Ruidoso Downs area, where the fire has charred more than 16 square miles.

“It’s still an active fire, it’s still moving along, but it’s not getting outside containment lines,” state Forestry spokesman Dan Ware said.

The 10,341-acre fire that broke out Sunday was 50 percent contained by Wednesday night.

Ware likened the work of fire crews in the rugged, steep area to landscape work.

“They’re in the back country, cutting a path — the containment lines — trimming up trees, cutting down sick or dying trees because they’re more susceptible to fire,” he said.

Aerial drops of fire-retardant slurry weren’t feasible in the wind, Ware said.

“It doesn’t do any good if the wind picks it up and carries it away,” he said.

A fire burning in central New Mexico since Saturday was 70 percent contained. There’s very little fire activity on that 2,700-acre blaze near the Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge, Ware said.

“They’re patrolling and mopping up. It looks to be in really good

shape,” he said.

A weather system moving into New Mexico was bringing some moisture and higher humidity, which Ware said was helping reduce the spread of the fires despite the wind.

Both fires forced evacuations over the weekend. Several neighborhoods around Ruidoso Downs and casinogoers at the Ruidoso Downs Racetrack and Casino were told to leave.

In the Sevilleta area, heavy smoke forced about 50 people from the New Mexico Boys Ranch near Belen, about 60 miles south of Albuquerque.

All the evacuations have been lifted.

No structures burned in the Sevilleta area, but the Ruidoso Downs-area blaze destroyed five houses and seven outbuildings, damaged two other homes and two outbuildings and burned numerous vehicles. The fire began in steep, rugged Gavilan Canyon and grew rapidly, pushed by winds estimated at 50 to 60 mph.

Ware said the Ruidoso-area fire has passed by neighborhoods that had been evacuated, and that even if the wind direction changed, the fire would not be able to advance because it would be pushed into areas that already have burned out.

State Forestry Division officials said Tuesday the Sevilleta fire was caused by sparks from a hand-held metal grinder that ignited grass and weeds. They were looking for the person or persons responsible.

The Ruidoso-area fire also was human-caused, but the exact cause was unknown, Ware said.

Letter Five freshmen will never spoil Coach Flanagan’s legacy Editor, In response to “Flanagan leaves after almost two decades,” the Daily Lobo did a great job in showing the University who Don Flanagan is and continues to be.

I am writing to say a few words about the five players who should not remain nameless: Tina Doughty, Erin Boettcher, Morgan Toben, Brianna Taylor and Jasmine Patterson. These young, and I stress young, freshmen should never have given Coach Flanagan an ultimatum. It was not their place or their right.

First, let me say a few words on what I know about the great coach. I am 23 years old in a few days, and my family has had season tickets for the women’s basketball since I was in the fourth grade.

I watched Flanagan for 14 of his 16 UNM seasons from three rows from the floorboards. I have seen him choose amazing, talented players year in and year out, and I have watched him schedule some of the most challenging teams for exhibition games because those teams come (in some cases as far as China) to play against Flanagan’s players.

I have also watched him continue to increase attendance numbers but, more importantly, season-ticket holders.

And every four years, we see seniors leave with a better basketball talent because Flanagan helped them improve.

But it doesn’t end there.

Coach Flanagan’s players have always had some of the highest GPAs in the conference.

Many players achieved the honor of all-academic MWC, not to mention players like Dionne Marsh who have gone on to pursue medical school or higher degrees, while keeping up a full-season basketball schedule.

How many college coaches can boast that?

Now back to the five women.

Flanagan gave those five women an opportunity to be a part of the Lobo legacy while getting an education.

This legacy includes players like Chelsea Grear, Jordan Adams (a future Timberwolf), Molly McKinnon (future coach) and many more.

Flanagan made the UNM women’s basketball team a contender in the Mountain West Confercence, NCAA, WNIT and the Western Athletic Conference, but thanks to five ungrateful women, Flanagan will no longer be coaching.

If I were Flanagan, I would have told them they are free to leave at anytime (and leave their nice scholarships, too). But most likely because Flanagan cares about the game and sees potential in everyone, he retires so these women will not ruin their college careers.

So, all I can say is: Coach Flanagan, you will be greatly missed, and your coaching talents will go unmatched in many Lobo fans’ eyes.

A few bad apples may have spoiled the end of an era, but they will never spoil the legacy you created at UNM and in New Mexico.

Thank you, Coach Flanagan.

Column

Go to class with spring in your step

by Jes Martin

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist “Spring is here, oh spring is here, life is Skittles, and life is beer,” sings Tom Lehrer in his ballad, “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park.”

Before you throw down your paper in disgust (or maybe, if you’re not a fan of pigeons, pump your fist in the air as you run off to the nearest Lowe’s for a bottle of cyanide), wait — this letter is in no way advocating pigeon genocide. I’m thinking more along the lines of Skittles and beer.

Spring is here, and with it, birds are crooning love songs, flowers are revealing reproductive organs to expose blushing blossoms. Booty shorts make a comeback as women make their first attempts to tan their legs, turned ghostly white from the winter months.

Hippies vibrate the walls of the Center of the Universe with reverberating drumbeats.

The Duck Pond once again becomes a thriving metropolis, its gravity beckoning like a whirling vortex, whispering, “Who cares about midterms? Come lounge in the sun’s rays beside canopies of cherry blossoms! Read a book. Smoke a cigarette. Chat with friends.

Perfect that tan. Anything but work!”

Ah yes, with spring comes spring fever.

While the world outside the classroom and library walls bursts at the seams with rejuvenation, you grudgingly muster your inner will to write that paper, study for that exam, come up with a captivating hook with which to begin your presentation tomorrow morning.

It’s important to do your work, but keep

the spirit of spring inside you. Put a little skip in your step on your way to class, like Dorothy on her way to see the wizard. Walk barefoot like a flower child; hell, put some flowers in your hair while you’re at it.

Do an ollie off the stairs in front of Zimmerman Library, indulging in some campus parkour. Climb up to the top of the Chemistry Building after lab (don’t get caught). Suck in your breath when you catch sight of the vibrant colors of sunset. Drink a beer on the patio of your favorite bar. When

“We are extremely lucky to live a life that allows us to indulge in life’s pleasures and expand our minds on a daily basis.” you get home, drink another beer on the stoop of your porch, and strum some tunes on your guitar. Get your friends to sing along. Go for a midnight bike ride, and as you fly down the empty streets. Take a deep breath of the cool nighttime air.

We are extremely lucky to live a life that allows us to indulge in life’s pleasures and expand our minds on a daily basis. Hopefully being in school does that for you.

If not, you might want to rethink your major. Just sayin’. Not everyone in the world has it this good, remember?

It’s easy to get caught up worrying about

your grades, boyfriends, girlfriends, whether to buy that blue halter-top or those white booty shorts. Heck, you can spend all day worrying about your petty problems.

But does it really matter? Being the busy little bees that we are, it’s easy to lose sight of life’s bigger questions and the world’s bigger problems that are conveniently veiled from our blissful existence.

So take a minute to feel the grass under your toes. Inhale the sweet scent of flower blossoms. Watch the clouds assimilate into dragons, only to disassemble into wispy trails moments later.

But go to class. Stay in school. Because you have the potential inside of you to push the limits of man’s understanding of the world, cure the illnesses that decimate children in that oh-so-far-away third world.

You can design and build houses with rooftop gardens and solar panels. You can run for president. Remember when you were a kid and dreamed about what you wanted to be when you grew up? Don’t lose sight of that.

If you do, that kid inside you will be awfully disappointed.

As the Reverend J.O. Graham wrote, “Each of us should remember that we are writing our eulogy every day of our lives.”

Enjoy every spring, year after year, because someday, it will be your last. And you will want to remember all of the times the silky fragrances of flower blossoms tickled your nostrils.

But just the same, you will want to remember that time when you finally blossomed into the person that made the world a better place.

Letter There is no legitimate reason to miss or arrive late to class Editor, I am a teacher’s assistant for a large lecture class.

One of my responsibilities as a TA is to help the lecturer maintain a degree of classroom decorum that at this point should be second nature for students. Unfortunately, a discouraging number of students need frequent re-

minders about what is and isn’t appropriate classroom behavior Arriving late to class is disruptive and disrespectful to the lecturer and fellow students.

For this reason, most course syllabi clearly list tardiness as class policy violation.

I suggest to Curtis Vernon, who in his recent letter decried his experience dealing with the consequences of violating this policy, to understand that attending classes is not a right but a privilege.

There is no “legitimate reason” to miss or arrive late to a class that cannot also be supplied with a doctor’s note or similar documentation.

Rather than blame others for the consequences of your behavior, consider instead to be more mindful of responsibilities as a student and increase efforts to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Sometimes, these sorts of things are simply unavoidable, but I suspect that classmates and instructors are more willing to “take pity” on students who accept personal responsibility for their actions over those who fault everyone but themselves.

One year later, relatives join to celebrate lives of coalfield disaster victims

by Tim Huber

Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Family members wept and church bells pealed across West Virginia for 29 fallen coal miners on the first anniversary of the powerful explosion that tore apart the Upper Big Branch Mine.

Massey Energy Co., owner of the vast underground mine where the men died in the worst coalfield disaster since 1970, halted production at underground mines in West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky.

Families and friends of the victims, other miners and politicians gathered for a series of memorial ceremonies and events that continued from early morning into the night.

“These 29 brave men. The pain that they have suffered and what you have suffered reminded me of the work that has yet to be done,” Labor Secretary Hilda Solis told more than 120 relatives gathered at a private memorial service for the families in Whitesville. “Safety should never be sacrificed and these deaths should not have been.”

The families — more than 120 fathers, mothers, siblings and children — crowded the Whitesville Elementary gym to remember and pray for the miners.

Most wore shirts commemorating lost relatives or miner’s clothes bearing their distinctive reflective safety stripes.

“On this anniversary, we celebrate them. We celebrate these courageous miners. We remember them, each of them as individuals,” Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va. said. “I know many of them through you.”

The Whitesville service was a somber, formal affair with speeches by Solis, acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and the state’s congressional delegation behind 29 miners’ helmets with their cap lamps lit and photos of the victims. Students at West Virginia University set up a Faces of the Mine web site that offered profiles of the miners and planned live streaming video of the evening service from a gym at the Whitesville Elementary School in the state’s southern coalfields.

“Ultimately I’m one of those who believes that it never really does go away, the pain,” Sen. Jay Rockefeller said. “In some ways, maybe it shouldn’t because it is a form of love and obligation to those who are affected.”

President Barack Obama said in a statement that his administration is working to bring those responsi-

ble to justice and prevent a similar tragedy from occurring again.

“The Justice Department’s investigation into the mine owner’s practices in West Virginia has led, so far, to two criminal indictments,” Obama said. “We know we can also improve our mine safety laws to better provide for the safety of the men and women who work in America’s mines.”

Massey denies any wrongdoing, blaming a sudden inundation of natural gas that overwhelmed all safety systems.

Two miners survived the blast at Upper Big Branch, a complex of miles of underground mine workings in an area of Appalachia about 50 miles south of Charleston.

The day began with acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin laying a wreath of yellow roses adorned with a black ribbon at a memorial to the state’s coal miners on the Capitol grounds. Alongside the wreath was a child’s hand-drawn card depicting a cross, shovel and pick, and a plea for God to bless the fallen men. Attached was a gift, a plastic cube containing a tiny yellow toy backhoe.

Later in the day, at First Christian Church in Beckley, candles were wrapped with the reflective orange striping that miners wear underground on their navy blue work clothes. Tiny lapel ribbons in the same orange and silver were handed out to about 150 people who gathered for a brief service with prayers and song, but no speeches. Nearly all wore either a miner’s shirt or jacket, or a ball cap bearing the number 29.

Terry Ellison of Beckley lit 29 candles, a bell tolling each time, in honor of her brother, 40-yearold Steven “Smiley” Harrah of Cool Ridge. Harrah was killed as he was ending his shift and leaving the mine with the others.

“It’s just like yesterday for us, and it will never get better. We’ll just learn how to cope with it,” Ellison said, urging people to “remember the good men they were.”

The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration has said the explosion occurred when methane gas ignited, then touched off highly explosive coal dust that had been allowed to accumulate

in the mine. The result was a blast so powerful it turned corners and rounded a 1,000-foot-wide block of coal, packing the power to kill men more than a mile away.

Massey denies any wrongdoing, blaming a sudden inundation of natural gas that overwhelmed all safety systems.

“The company remains fully committed to a thorough and comprehensive investigation that seeks to identify the primary causes of the explosion and provide answers to the UBB families and the communities we serve in Central Appalachia,” Massey said in a statement.

“Biology has progressed tremendously due to the model that Darwin put forth. But the black boxes Darwin accepted are now being opened, and our view of the world is again being shaken.” ~Michael Behe

The moles at the Division of Mammals are just one example of research specimens. The museum houses more than 230,000 specimens, making it the world’s fifth-largest collection.

No lab rats here, just dead moles and bats.

It’s a mausoleum ...

IN THE NAME OF

SCIENCE

culture@dailylobo.com It resembles a mad scientist’s lair.

The Museum of Southwestern Biology has wall-to-wall filing cabinets, each shelf containing rows upon rows of stuffed animals. In all, the museum houses more than 230,000 specimens from more than 68 countries, making it the fifthlargest mammal collection in the world.

Jon Dunnum, the museum’s collection manager, pulled open a shelf filled with moles from South Carolina’s Aiken County last week.

The small mammals looked like something out of a child’s toy collection, but Dunnum said the drawer’s contents don’t faze him.

“The key is to preserve this stuff in perpetuity because we don’t know what questions we are going to want to answer or the tools we are going to have to answer them,” he said, brandishing a mole. “It’s our duty to preserve things for future generations of scientists.”

That’s why each specimen is tagged with information such as sex or geographical location.

Next to some of the moles are tiny skeletons preserved in plastic vials.

He holds the mole as a person might hold a book in a library — with complete ease. He’s at home in the museum, talking about how specimens are entered into Arctos, a database that has a corresponding physical notation in one of the hundreds of notebooks stored in the CERIA building.

The museum houses mostly rodents and bats, the two most diverse animal groups in the world, Dunnum said, but also contains major selections from the Southwest, Beringia and Latin America.

They even have a safe-sized whale vertebra, a platypus and specimens from 1890.

That still isn’t as interesting as the bottom

Countless fish, snakes and lizards lie dead in jars, but further back is the unsettling mammal section. One jar is filled with bat fetuses.

Another is home to a bat the size of a miniature Yorkshire terrier.

And in another jar with yellow fluid is a platypus complete with a bill, claws and beaver pelt.

Not everyone understands the museum’s value, Dunnum said.

“There are certainly people that if they don’t take the time to understand what goes on these places they’ll say, ‘Oh you have killed all these cute, little animals,’ he

said. “You can conserve whole ecosystems, which is vastly more important than not sacrificing these 10 mice because they are cute. I understand how people can feel this way, but people doing this work are very concerned about the biodiversity on Earth.”

To the layperson, it’s hard to understand how 230,000 animals in filing cabinets help the scientific community.

Consider the 1993 outbreak of the hantavirus, Dunnum said.

To understand the problem, the museum, together with the Center for Disease Control and New Mexico Department of Health, collected mammals.

Dunnum said they found that the virus came from deer mice with fleas carrying the disease, which was strange because hantavirus is an old-world disease. He said some people thought it was a government conspiracy, but that wasn’t true.

“We were able to go into our frozen tissue banks,” Dunnum said. “We had been saving tissues since the mid 1970s, and we were able to go into those banks and look at tissues for the deer mice that we had. We were able to get virus out of those tissues, 20 years back predating this outbreak. Right then we could say, ‘No this isn’t anything new. We just haven’t seen it yet.’”

Yet that’s only a small section of what the museum does, Dunnum said. He said 50 years ago scientists didn’t have access to DNA testing, but now they do, which makes the museum more valuable. Dunnum said these unexpected advances drive the collection’s expansion.

“Fifty years ago, we didn’t have the tools to extract DNA and do molecular work, so these were of limited value then,” he said. “In 50 years from now, who knows what we are going to be able to do? Who knows what tools are going to be there?”

To borrow the book metaphor again, the museum is an ever-growing library. Papers and research on specimens are added to the Arctos collection, Dunnum said.

“It’s a snapshot in time and space all the way through the history of these species,” he said. “We have a point in space and time where we can say undeniably this species occurred.

So now we can go back, 50 years from now, go to that same place and ask questions: Has this place changed? How has it changed? Why has it changed?”

From roadkill to museum specimen

by Chris Quintana

culture@dailylobo.com Right now, in a trailer above Castetter Hall, flesh-eating bugs are feasting on rotting meat.

But don’t worry, it’s purely scientific.

The bug room, as it’s referred to by the Division of Mammals, is a small trailer that smells like spoiled beef jerky, said Andrea Jackson, a biology undergrad who works there.

“I went home immediately the first time and had my mom smell my shirt,” she said. “She was like, ‘Ugh, that smells like rotting flesh ...’ It’s a strong smell that just lingers until you take a shower.”

She was holding a small rodent’s skeleton and tasked with entering it into the Arctos database. She said she and coworkers take fresh specimens and get them ready for the museum.

“You kind of set yourself apart from it, and you realize you are doing science, not killing animals just for fun,” Jackson said.

The first step is capturing or receiving the specimen. This can be done in field studies, and some people even bring in roadkill, said Jon Dunnum, the museum’s collection manager.

“So they are going home, and see a beaver killed on the road, or a porcupine that was run over,” he said. “They pick them up, put them in bags, and call us.”

From there, Jackson said, she skins the animals and removes their vital organs.

“A good example, I guess, is kind of like a banana, but it’s just kind of ‘eh.’

You pull it to the side.”

Muscle tissues are frozen and the skeleton is cleaned. Then, they go to

the bug room, where the flesh-eating beetles’ larva strip the bones clean of flesh better than any human or machine. Dunnum said all mammal museums have a bug room.

From there, the bones are stored, and the animal skins are stuffed with cotton and sewn shut, said Brooks Cohli, the TA in the Division of Mammals.

“It’s not like normal taxidermy,” he said. “We don’t treat skin in any way.

We try to make it look as real as possible, or that’s the goal.”

From there, the specimens are put into the system, and then put into the museum archives. It’s a long, visceral process, but Jackson said it’s been a great learning opportunity.

“You learn more here than in anatomy class,” she said. “With this particular job, I am able to see a whole other side of biology.”

Cohli said for his thesis, more than half of his samples will come from the museum.

“It’s just a priceless resource,” he said. “You can see how everything varies from a mouse up to a wolf.”

Alumni also said the work was eyeopening.

Dunnum worked there as a student, and so did the curator of the museum, Joe Cook. The museum also served as a career springboard for Suzanne Peurach, the mammal collection manager of USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. She said her time in the Division of Mammals directed her field of study.

“Working in the Division of Mammals at the Museum of Southwestern Biology was a life-changing event,” she said. “It sounds really corny, but it’s absolutely true. I took mammalogy and absolutely fell in love with the work.”

Even in the 21st century, Africa is perceived as exotic and dangerous.

That’s one of the misperceptions that this weekend’s Cultural Studies Conference will try to correct.

“Representations of Africa” was inspired by a graduate class Marie Chantale Mofin Noussi and Lucie Florence Ceylan took two semesters ago.

Noussi said the conference will be an extension of the course.

“People from all over the world are coming and talking about this issue,” Ceylan said. “It’s just amazing. Just that we’re bringing this whole community to UNM, to me that’s just mind-blowing.”

Professor Jason Wilby said he facilitated the conference for the past three years. He said the idea struck two grad students last semester, and they presented the idea to a committee of other grad

Yjastros, derived from the word for “stepchild,” is anything but flamenco’s red-headed stepchild.

Artistic Director Joaquin Encinias said the spring concert “Chispa,” translated to “Spark,” is an electrical fuse between music and movement.

“It’s all coming together to create this really cool energy,” said Encinias, the son of UNM faculty member Eva Encinias-Sandoval, the founder of the National Institute of Flamenco.

With music from artists like Camilo Quiñones and Chuscales, “Chispa” promises traditional flamenco infused with Afro-Cuban and hip-hop influences.

cales, in his own right, is an international flamenco star guitarist.

Marion Febres, one of the show’s primary flamenco guitarists, said this music fusion is challenging to perform.

“It’s lots of nontraditional music and ideas,” he said “The musicians really have to come together and make it work.”

Encinias, steeped in the rich history of flamenco his entire life, said he doesn’t want to be categorized as just a flamenco artist.

“There are so many things that make me who I am as an artist, and that isn’t just flamenco,” he said.

“The more true to yourself (you are), the more authentic it is, and the more it relates to the audience.”

With pieces like “Azul Marino,” Encinias and his company manage to use distinct lighting and staging to show the strife that occurs in romantic relationships.

“It’s the unique and beautiful relationship between a man and a woman,” he said. “And

the ups-and-downs and backsand-forths associated with it.”

Encinias said UNM students have the opportunity to see riveting dance.

“We always give the audience something to look forward to — always,” he said.

students and professors.

“The whole discussion of Africa is tied to a very complex web of discourses about identity and mixed in there are colonial notions of superiority and racial inferiority,” he said.

With help from two other graduate students, Noussi and Ceylan built the conference from the ground up. They chartered an organization and sent out a call for papers to universities in other state and countries.

They narrowed down 26 responses to five panels that will take place over two days, highlighted by keynote speaker Dr. Elisabeth Boyi, a Stanford professor and specialist on African and Caribbean and literature.

Boyi will present her paper “From Ifrikiya to Africa: Real Continent, Imaginary Space” and will be the focus of the seminarstyle conference workshop at the end of the second day.
