Stabbing victim recalls trauma by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
The victim of the Feb. 15 stabbing on campus has a pretty good idea what she was thinking right after a stranger plunged a knife into her neck. “How do you live through something like this? How do you get stabbed in the neck? How do you live through this? What if I don’t?” she said. The UNM student and employee then picked herself up off the sidewalk near the Anthropology Building and walked into her music appreciation class. She asked her classmates for help, and she said they saved her life. “I remember walking through the door and announcing that I had been stabbed, and my mind senses this lull, this disbelief, where people were asking, ‘Could this person be serious?’” she said. “And then there were floods of people coming down.” The 41-year-old woman, who preferred to remain anonymous due to security concerns, said doctors told her she was seconds away from death when she collapsed on the classroom floor. If it wasn’t for her classmates, her doctor told her, she would have bled to death. The assailant’s knife slashed the woman’s neck in two places, coming within a millimeter of her carotid artery. The attack severed her jugular vein, cut a lymph node and damaged neck muscle tissue. These wounds caused severe internal bleeding, resulting in a
collapsed lung. And almost two months later, her voice is raspy; her neck is limited in its range of motion; and her left eye droops a little bit due to nerve damage. She has one eight-inch, sutured scar that stretches from her collar bone to underneath her jaw bone and another one under her chin that required 15 stitches. She is also keeping an eye on a blood clot that resulted from other complications. “The police reports played down how severe the injuries were,” she said. “A millimeter deeper, a millimeter on either direction, could have been fatal. I guess that’s what’s important to me, that people understand how sick and violent this person is and is still out there.” The woman spent a week in the hospital; shortly after, when a friend came to visit, she said the psychological weight of the trauma she endured really sank in. The woman said she’s probably not going back to school this semester to finish her psychology degree, because the prospect of being back on campus after nightfall is worrisome. “I don’t see myself coming back to class this semester,” she said. “I think it’s a little too late for that. I’ve missed a month and a half, which is a shame because I’m really close to finishing my psychology degree. I am very uncomfortable and scared and anxious about ever being on campus again in the dark.”

Low voter turnout isn’t just a problem for UNM by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
There is a specter haunting student government elections — the specter of low voter turnout. A president, vice president and 10 senators will be voted into the ASUNM government on April 14. And if history is any indication, voters will represent about 7 percent of the undergraduate population. Last spring, ASUNM elections brought 1,433 UNM students to the polls, about 7.5 percent. “More than (17,000) students don’t really vote or don’t really know about it,” said Sen. Lazaro Cardenas, candidate for president. “(The solution) is basically wiping out the ignorance, and that is the hard thing to do. I guess I would research what other institutions had done and go from there.” Low voter turnout is not just UNM’s problem. The Daily Lobo looked at voter turnout in the spring 2009 elections in five other peer institutions or Mountain West Conference counterparts — the University of Colorado (3.2 percent), the University of Oklahoma (11.49 percent), San Diego State University
Inside the

issue 132
(15.5 percent) and the University of Kentucky (19 percent). All other peer institutions and conference members were unable to provide data. With one exception, all the schools recorded less than 20 percent of students showing up to the polls. David Conway, who is running for ASUNM president, said it is hard to get nontraditional and commuter students active in the UNM community. “Reaching out to them is more difficult, but we absolutely try to get them more involved,” Conway said. “I try to go out and talk to the students that are not normally going to vote.” Conway said that the Student Voice for Student Fees movement showed that students will get involved if there is a cause they care about. More than 350 students signed a petition and nearly 40 packed the ASUNM Senate to champion a resolution in support of the three organizations and a Queer Resource Center, which the administration was threatening not to fund. Still, those signatures represented the voice of less than 3 percent of the total undergraduate student body.
Cardenas said that nothing will change until the student government starts to tackle issues that matter to the entire student body. “I think, right now, our student government doesn’t hold that much weight from some of the decisions that we have made,” Cardenas said. “We make decisions on their behalf, yet they don’t have a say in it. So, you lose respect in that aspect of it.” Other institutions’ success at bringing in the votes Most schools seem to be in the same boat when it comes to low voter turnout. The Daily Lobo found one exception — TCU. TCU consistently has nearly 30 percent of students showing up to the polls. In fall 2008, that number shot to 40.15 percent. Marlon Figueroa, TCU student body president, said those numbers can be attributed to the use of guerilla tactics when it came to getting out the vote. “In 2008, candidates and campaign staff members were allowed to roam around campus with computers,” Figueroa said in an email. “Students used this to hunt down and force as many students to vote. That allowed for the extra 10 percent we garnered that year.” Though the tactics worked in terms of
Batting for a win

See page 6
increasing voter turnout, it also produced some negative effects. “That rule was banned after all the controversy it created,” Figueroa said. Leaving behind the brief stint at pestering students for a vote, TCU has still produced numbers consistently higher than other institutions. TCU is a private school that houses around 9,000 students, less than half the size of UNM, and that change in culture might be the difference between apathy and activism, said Figueroa. “TCU is not a commuter school at all in that we are a private institution,” Figueroa said. “Being a private institution gives the administration a lot more flexibility accomplishing TCU’s vision and goals more efficiently whenever the institution wants.” Even so, TCU’s 30 percent voter turnout totals half of the percentage of eligible voters that traditionally turn out to U.S. presidential elections. “(Student government) elections are very frustrating, and I don’t want you to think that it’s easy at all for us, even with the whole student population being constantly present on campus,” Figueroa said.

Get To Know
Martin Gutierrez / GPSA Presdiential Canidate Martin Gutierrez is running for GPSA president. The Daily Lobo talked with him about his campaign focuses, including making GPSA more transparent and reducing graduate student expenses. Daily Lobo: Why are you running for president of GPSA? Martin Gutierrez: There is a crisis in leadership right now in GPSA. Law students in support of secession demonstrates that there is a lack of communication and community involvement by the current administration ... Each semester that passes — first with the Locksley incident and the Athletic funding and now with the law school and the SFRB process. So, my schedule has now afforded me the time to do this. DL: What is your stance on the special election that happened last semester about Athletics? MG: We need to focus on solutions to fill that gap, because we need to make sure that graduate education is affordable. President Obama challenged us to go back to school. Graduate school is the next undergraduate degree. We need to make a commitment to make sure that
graduate school is affordable and that we’re working on solutions to close that gap. We shouldn’t be upset about things that aren’t leading us to make sure that goal is achieved. DL: What do you think the job of the president entails? MG: What I want to make it is the epicenter for graduate success. GPSA needs to have information regarding research, funding and grants and archive it so people know where to look for that in the future. It needs to be transparent. I’m going to post all of my documents and everything that is related to official GPSA business online. I want to be the president who brings the law school in and addresses those concerns and comes up with a long-term solution so there’s no talk of this anymore. DL: What are a few things that you would like to see change within GPSA? MG: Well the first thing I’d like to see changed is, as GPSA president, I’ll show up to meetings for our independent groups and organizations; I’ll show up to faculty meetings that require us to show up to. I’ll attend meetings with

the regents and the president. I’ve heard from a lot of people within the graduate student population that the current president hasn’t attended a lot of meetings. I’ll be available between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., the University hours. But I don’t want to be in the office; I want to be out meeting with people ... The next thing I would like to do is have the graduate students speak through me and not speak for the graduate students, which means I would like for the students to communicate with us so when we do come upon a crisis, like we saw with the Athletics Department and even the SFRB, the president is speaking on behalf of the students. They’re not just a small group of people who meet on Saturday at 12 and decide on a position. DL: What are some of the most important issues to grad students? MG: The cost of grad school. The cost of grad school is different than undergrad because we don’t have the Lottery Scholarship. Most of us are living on our own, so we have to pay for our living expenses, our food (and) transportation expenses. We have Online Editor Junfu Han Photo Editor Vanessa Sanchez Assistant Photo Editor Gabbi Campos Culture Editor Hunter Riley Assistant Culture Editor Chris Quintana Sports Editor Isaac Avilucea Assistant Sports Editor Mario Trujillo

fingerprints from the dusty exterior that could lead police to the arrest of a suspected auto burglar. On March 31, a man who parked his vehicle in E Lot returned to find the inside of his car vandalized and several items missing. It appeared the offender entered through the front passenger door because police noticed breaks in the door and fingerprints indicating some type of object was used to pry the door open. A palm print was also seen on the window of the front passenger door according to the police report. Both prints were
collected as evidence. On March 29, campus police arrived at the UNM Championship Golf Course after a man returned from the links to find shattered glass from his front passenger window. According to the report, the busted window was an entrance for thieves to steal valuable items inside of the vehicle; however it appeared no items were stolen. The owner of the vehicle noticed that his dashboard stereo had been tampered with in an attempt to steal the device.
Friday, April 9, 2010 / Page 3 On March 27, a reported auto burglary at the UNM Hospital parking structure led police to a string of tips involving other auto breakins. While police were gathering information about a broken left front window which led to interior damage of a Dodge 2500 pickup, the officer on the scene noticed another vehicle with its window busted two cars down. A UNMH employee was getting into the vehicle and told police he was not interested in filing a report. While the initial victim was completing a written statement,
another hospital employee told UNMPD she heard three separate car alarms going off. The employee said she then observed a gold extendedcab pickup truck with no headlights exiting the parking structure. A woman returned March 26 to the UNM West parking structure where she parked her car only to find the driver’s-side door handle broken, which indicated an attempted auto burglary. There appeared to be no entry into the vehicle, and no items were stolen in the incident.

Students might have already forgotten about the stabbing, she said, but they need to be aware that campus is not as safe as it seems. “I can see how this has faded away for people. We don’t want to think about evil, awful people and evil, awful things,” she said. But the suspect is still out there, she said. The aggravated assault Around 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 15, the woman was pacing around the entrance to the Anthropology Building while talking on the phone to a friend from out of town. “I think what’s interesting to me as I reflect back is just how unaware I was,” she said. “And it really strikes me about how unaware so many of us are when we’re on our cell phones or listening to our iPod.” She said she remembers seeing a man
loitering around the entrance to the building. He came across as unusual, she said, because he didn’t go into classroom buildings like other students. “I do kind of remember a shady, shadowy character sitting on the bench up against the wall, and ... my gut tells me that this character was the person,” she said. “In retrospect, I remember thinking, ‘How could you possibly know that or sense that?’ I think, somewhere in my pacing, I remember him still being there, you know — students disappearing and him still being there.” She paced around that area for about 20 minutes, she said, until her assailant came up from behind her. “I remember the stab first,” she said. “I remember the total disbelief, like, ‘I can’t believe this. I’ve just been stabbed,’ and then in my mind it was just this slashing and it felt

like the person was trying to do a bit more damage to make it sure either I didn’t live through or couldn’t follow him or I couldn’t scream for help.” She said the man snatched her phone and bolted around the northeast corner of the Anthropology Building, but the man left her large, gray purse laying on the sidewalk. “I remember screaming for help and seeing him,” she said. “I didn’t get a sense of height or weight or anything at all and then just continued to scream for help.” When no one responded, she got up and headed into her classroom. She was afraid, she said, that the door would be locked. She remembers being relieved when it wasn’t. And after she announced to her class that she’d been stabbed, two or three of her classmates rushed to help her, including ASUNM Vice President Mike Westervelt.
“He really seemed to know what to do,” she said. “He was incredibly competent and so calming.” But she still panicked. She wanted to call her mom in Hatch, her friend from out of town, or her emergency contacts in Albuquerque. “It occurred to me in that moment that in this day and age, we don’t have numbers memorized, and here my phone had been stolen,” she said. “So, my mantra to everyone is, ‘Make sure you have at least one or two numbers memorized.’” Then she remembered that she had a personal phone in her purse, with which she called her mother. The last thing she remembers is being wheeled into the operation room at UNM Hospital, and then she woke up two days later.

Smith Plaza ‘skate park’ a hazard to pedestrians Editor, I was wondering if the folks who did the skateboard park re-design on Smith Plaza had considered a pedestrian pass-over for all the foot traffic? I assume the laws concerning the handicapped ramps have changed since these have also been incorporated into the new skateboard park. I am not as worried about the pedestrians as I am about those poor skateboarders because they are concentrating on their tricks and those boards are flipping all over the place and one day a flying skateboard is going to bank off a pedestrian, possibly even a wheelchair, and a skateboarder might get hurt!

9-11 was still an inside job, the media is hiding the truth Editor, Do any conscious people still walk the halls of UNM? This is the question that I ask myself, as our national leaders continue to lie about the socalled “War on Terror.” This lie is only used as a justification for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. 9-11 was carried out by the ruling class and bankers of this country. Innocent civilians were murdered that day in order to justify invading other countries. We must remember that the media is the number one enemy of the people, because they continue to incite that people believe in a war that is based on pure fiction. So if there are still people of conscious out there, learn the truth, speak the truth and teach the truth. Muhajir Romero UNM student

“I’ll keep talking and maybe you’ll just get it.”
by Chris Quintana
Assistant culture editor Every now and then I’ll dine alone. I might see people I know that I could eat with or chat with. But I still choose to be alone. Let me reassure you this column is not the beginning of a suicide note but a reflection on introverts and the prickly effect on the extroverted population. First, let me come clean. I know it would be a bit of a stretch to call someone like myself, who spews snarky columns for public consumption, an introvert. My primary job as a reporter is to interact with new people every day, so I know it seems even more implausible I could be considered an introvert. I eat most of my lunches alone for the most part, and it’s not because I am planning out my World of Warcraft raid for the night or thinking which building would be the best to go postal on. It’s just that I’m not about to start talking to just anyone, and prefer to relax in
the confines of my mind thinking best about what I am going to rant about next. Talking to people is tricky. It requires a lot of energy for introverts. There’s all the rules, the social protocols, trying to be witty, trying to keep the person interested and not saying something dumb that might come back to haunt you at some point. I don’t want this to be all about me because I know plenty of you don’t care. Chris, you say, you annoy us with your grievances. I’m only reading this because I’m looking for fodder for my angry online comment later. Here’s the thing, it’s not that introverts are arrogant or judging everyone in the room. Some may have scathing glances and upturned noses, but that’s definitely not the majority. The majority are happy inside their heads. We re-energize by being alone where extroverts relax in the company of others. When an extrovert’s tired, he might still go out to party. When an introvert’s exhausted, there’s no way he’s going any other place than home to be alone for a while. It’s important to note introverts are perfectly capable of putting on a pretty face and entertaining. I head out to parties now and then. I’ll even talk to someone I have never seen or met in my life. I can be daring and attract attention — I once drank and quickly vomited three liters of blue crème soda for just that reason. As a general rule, introverts hate small talk. It doesn’t serve to accomplish anything other than getting to know a person on a
skin-deep level. If you really want to talk to an introvert then you got to talk deep. The conversations I enjoy are the ones where I don’t have to think about social niceties and instead can focus on the topic at hand. So go deep or don’t go at all when talking with an introvert. Here’s the real issue: Introverts know how extroverts function. To have a good time some people need to be around others constantly and a night spent at home alone is a night wasted. I understand that and accept it and harbor no feelings of resentment toward my extroverted counterparts. However, extroverts don’t seem to get introverts. Extroverts, when confronted with an introvert, think there’s something wrong with that person. Why don’t you want to go to the party? Why are you eating alone? Why don’t you talk to someone? Whats-amatta wichoo? Is everything OK? Why are you being like that? I have heard all these questions before. I am not being like “anything.” I am being me, and while introverts can grasp the fundamentals of extroverted behavior, extroverts cannot reciprocate the understanding. Let me repeat: there’s nothing wrong with introverts. They just don’t need constant social attention, and may even hate that sort of thing. I know already I am eating my words. I understand the irony of writing a public column about not needing social attention. Maybe I am not as introverted as I say I am, but I do understand there’s nothing wrong with the workings of an introverted mind.

Win redeems previous BYU losses by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
The UNM baseball team’s bats got started early and didn’t stop until the ninth inning, but neither did BYU’s. There was UNM 11 one major difference, though. 5 BYU UNM brought its runners home. The Lobos won the first of a threegame series 11-5 on Thursday at Isotopes Park — a little redemption from their 5-1 loss to the Cougars in the Mountain West Conference
Tournament last year. “Of course we want to beat them, but we are more focused on winning (than getting redemption),” catcher Rafael Neda said. “We don’t care who is on the other side of the dugout. We just want to win.” Both teams accumulated double-digit hits: UNM had 14 to BYU’s 11. The bottom of the third saw a four-run inning as the Lobos pulled ahead 6-0. UNM already had a 2-0 cushion, after Jacob Nelson knocked in a two-run home run in the second. “I knew it was out,” Nelson said. “I
hit a lot of home runs in high school, and I hit that one pretty well.” The Lobos picked apart BYU pitcher Matt Neil in the third inning. In the first pitch of his at-bat, Neda knocked a RBI-single. One pitch later, Cameron Smith drove in two runs. Finally, Max Willett hit the ball into left field, over the outfielder’s head, plating a run. “Sometimes guys get too mental,” said head coach Ray Birmingham. “And our guys do the same thing.

Nike ad depicts ‘everything’s OK in Tigerland’ by Damian Garde Daily Lobo
The Tiger Woods fallout has been long and arduous. Pundits and sponsors turned their backs on him, and Brit Hume, in his wisdom, begged the embattled golfer to find Jesus. Now Tiger’s zombie father is getting in on it. In a Nike ad released this week, the disembodied voice of Earl Woods, Tiger’s dead dad, asks his son what he’s learned from his mistakes. All the while, a somber Tiger, rendered in stark black and white, stares into the camera until his father finishes the monologue, just in time to fade to black and flash the Nike logo. Predictably, this set the Internet on fire, with numerous commentators questioning the seriousness of
Baseball
Tiger’s remorse and bemoaning Nike’s willingness to capitalize on the fact that the best golfer in the world is not terribly fond of monogamy. But all that misses the point. This is Tiger addressing us in the way he’s most comfortable: through the prism of marketing. Tiger has long been among the least accessible super athletes in the world. He does few interviews and discloses even fewer private details. Instead, we, the prying public, have gotten to know him only through the flurry of sponsorships and ads bearing his name. He was always the peppy wunderkind, happy to charm you so long as you’ll consider buying this new Buick. Contrast the Nike ad with Tiger’s cloying mea-culpa news conference in February. There, our bumbling, robotic hero ambled through a wideeyed and unimaginative apology.

And Jordan was the prototype for the postmodern sports star. Tiger and his ilk understand that the clumsy aspects of being a human are simply bad for business. Thus, it’s better to keep to yourself and leave your persona in the hands of the pros. In some sense, this can make matters worse when a cloistered athlete falls from grace in a loud, messy way. More often than not, however, the protective shield of marketing only ensures that our heroes will endure, no matter the scandal. Just ask Kobe Bryant about Eagle, Colo. So, don’t take the dead-dad ad as shameless capitalization or as a selfish son boosting his Q-rating on the back of his buried father (even though both are probably true). Instead, look at it as a sign that everything’s OK in Tigerland. The world’s top golfer has found his voice again.
not used to. Guys are saying ‘I got his sign. I got his sign.’ I said just be aggressive. The guy is throwing strike one, and if you notice a lot of those hits were first-pitch hits.” The hitting died down until the fifth inning, with BYU getting two of those runs back. The Lobos, however, brought in three runs in the sixth to go up 11-3, all but ending the night for the Cougars. BYU outfielder Sean McNaughton gave the Cougars some encouragement in the seventh inning, after sending a two-run homer heaven bound off relief pitcher Austin House, cutting the lead to 11-5. But by that time though, BYU was too out of it to make the Lobos sweat.

But with the help of Wieden + Kennedy, the new ad gives his downfall a Shakespearian edge, peppering his oh-so-sorry-ness with an inferiority complex and a bit of necromancy. Madison Avenue taught us how to marvel at Tiger, and now it will teach us how to admonish him. Believe it or not, this is the best way to interact with our athletic heroes. Take, for example, our last multitentacled monster of sports marketing, Michael Jordan. The ugly truth was that Jordan was a philandering egomaniac with a serious gambling problem, but that’s not how I want to remember the star of the poster on my childhood closet. Instead, thanks to the combined forces of Gatorade, Nike and McDonald’s, MJ was a charming, loquacious superhuman, a fearless competitor as quick with a smile as with a game-winning dagger.
