Students amass eons of ions into project by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
UNM undergraduate research on lightning is creating a spark in the scientific community. Students at the Configurable Space Microsystems Innovations & Applications Center (COSMIAC) are designing instruments that will be used to study ionospheric activity. COSMIAC Director Steve Suddarth said the students are working on creating devices not available in the technological world. “What we have been working on is the next generation of trying to measure how much of this ionization of upper atmospheric molecules is actually taking place,” he said. “We cannot
find anything out there in the industry that has the performance of what they are designing in a lightweight package. These students have to be the first to do that.” The ionosphere, an upper layer of the atmosphere named for its composition of charged ions, is involved in transmitting radio waves, Suddarth said. “GPS signals have to go through the ionosphere to get to our receivers,” he said. “Depending on how much of that charging of this upper atmosphere has happened, those signals get bent and delayed by different amounts. When that happens that affects the accuracy of our GPS systems.” Understanding ionospheric activity is es-
sential to creating more reliable GPS systems, Suddarth said. “There are military and all kinds of other reasons that we care about the accuracy of GPS,” he said. “Knowing the condition of the ionosphere tells us a lot about the accuracy of systems like GPS. It could cause an airplane to fly into a mountain or a ship to run aground.” Barry Crow, student researcher, said this project is the climax of everything they have learned in the electrical engineering field. “Although other people have ventured down the same path, we are taking it a step further with a higher frequency range of lightning that

Tuition increases paint a bleak picture for many students in the 2010-11 academic year, but UNM’s Parent Association is offering a life vest for students drowning in debt. Maria Probasco, Parent Association president, said the Parent Association is offering six $1,000 scholarships to students. “We wanted to promote student success and academic excellence and be a supportive role in students’ education,” Probasco said. “It’s about engaging parents and keeping them connected to help students complete their education.” To apply, visit parent.unm.edu and click on “scholarships.” Requirements: • Enrolled full time at the University of New Mexico • Minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA • In sophomore, junior or senior year during award year (for undergraduates) • In master’s or doctoral program during award year (for graduates)
The Parent Association, comprised of parents of students and alumni, began its scholarship opportunity program last year. “The first year we began, we were able to award $3,500 in scholarship money within four scholarships. This year, we will award $6,000 to students,” Probasco said. The scholarships provide eligible students $500 per semester.

Xia Trobough-Ali/Sophomore/Languages Daily Lobo: So did you do anything interesting over the weekend? Xia Trobough-Ali: I went to the JROTC competition. I used to be in JROTC in high school and it was so awesome. It was hosted by the Army ROTC. They totally had the kids like WWF status — they were throwing bottles and towels. I told these kids, I was like, “Hey, if you shout, ‘Peanut butter jelly time!’ they will give one to you. They believed me so all these kids were like, “Hey! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!” I saved my old instructor’s life because he almost got hit with a Frisbee in the head. DL: So is “peanut butter jelly time” like a special song for you guys? XTA: No, it’s just funny. When I lived at home, I totally put myself into ROTC so I could be away from home. ROTC isn’t like a sport. It’s all year. It was just real-
ly nice to go and remember that and see all the kids. DL: Do you think you’ll ever get involved in that in college? XTA: I don’t think so. When you go into JROTC, even if you don’t plan on getting into it, your brain functions more in a group mentality. It’s really hard to find that individuality that is necessary to being an adult and for college. I really do wish I was in something like that again, but, at the same time, it’s necessary for my development to find out who I am as an individual. But, I couldn’t be who I am if it wasn’t for JROTC. DL: So what is your major here? XTA: Languages. DL: So why did you pick that? XTA: I’m half Egyptian and I’m studying Arabic and Spanish here. I want to go into international relations but we don’t really have a good program for

that here. I just want to at least get my languages degree and hopefully apply for the Department of State. DL: So did your past ROTC experiences have an influence on your job decisions for the future? XTA: There was a prophecy over me when I was born that I was going to unite two countries. I have a heart for open understanding, for openness. I don’t think it’s wrong to believe in something. Some people will argue that true openness is being neutral to everything. I don’t believe that. I believe that openness is being willing to put yourself in a situation. When our politicians and our ambassadors can have that ability, we’ll truly be able to have a higher level of peace and understanding. I know I can do that. ~Tricia Remark

Backlash over immigration bill begins By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press
PHOENIX — The furor over Arizona’s new law cracking down on illegal immigrants grew Monday as opponents used refried beans to smear swastikas on the state Capitol, civil rights leaders demanded a boycott of the state, and the Obama administration weighed a possible legal challenge. Activists are planning a challenge of their own, hoping to block the law from taking effect by arguing that it encroaches on the federal government’s authority to regulate immigration and violates people’s constitutional rights by giving police too much power. The measure — set to take effect in late July or early August — would make it a crime under state law to be in the U.S. illegally. It directs state and local police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal. “If you look or sound foreign, you are going to be subjected to neverending requests for police to confirm your identity and to confirm your citizenship,� said Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, which is exploring legal action. Employees at the Capitol came to work Monday to find that vandals had smeared swastikas on the windows. And protesters gathered for a second straight day to speak out against a law they say will lead to rampant racial profiling of anyone who looks Hispanic. The White House would not rule out the possibility that the admin-
istration would take legal action against Arizona. President Barack Obama, who warned last week that the measure could lead to police abuses, asked the Justice Department to complete a review of the law’s implications before deciding how to proceed. Mexican President Felipe Calderon said the law is discriminatory and warned that trade and political ties with Arizona will be seriously strained by the crackdown. Currently, many U.S. police departments do not ask about people’s immigration status unless they have run afoul of the law in some other way. Many departments say stopping and questioning people will only discourage immigrants from cooperating to solve crimes. Under the new Arizona law, immigrants unable to produce documents showing they are allowed to be in the U.S. could be arrested, jailed for up to six months and fined $2,500. That is a significant escalation of the typical federal punishment for being here illegally — deportation. People arrested by Arizona police would be turned over to federal immigration officers. Opponents said the federal government could thwart the law by refusing to accept them. Supporters of the law said it is necessary to protect Arizonans from crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Arizona is home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants and is the nation’s busiest gateway for people slipping into the country. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the bill on Friday, said Arizona must act because Washington has failed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs from Mexico. Brewer has ordered state officials to
develop a training course for officers to learn what constitutes reasonable suspicion that someone is in the U.S. illegally. The crux of opponents’ arguments is that only the federal government has the authority to regulate immigration. “If every state had its own laws, we wouldn’t be one country; we’d be 50 different countries,� said Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Kevin Johnson, dean of the law school at the University of California-Davis and an immigration law professor, said such a lawsuit would have a very good chance of success. He said the state law gets into legal trouble by giving local law enforcement officers the authority to enforce immigration laws. “States can’t give them that power,� Johnson said. “The federal government could if it wanted to, but it hasn’t.� However, Gerald Neuman, a Harvard Law School professor, said Arizona could make a compelling legal argument that it has overlapping authority to protect its residents. Johnson said opponents could also argue that the law could violate their Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure because it gives police officers broad authority to determine who should be questioned. Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor who helped write the Arizona legislation, said he anticipated legal challenges and carefully drafted the language. He said the state law is only prohibiting conduct already illegal under federal law.
thing about how it got bent — affected by the ionosphere.� Suddarth said the project will take place over three stages and multiple UNM student generations, the first of which is beginning this semester. “Their job is to build the first generation of the instrument that is going to be launched on a tiny space craft,� he said. “The first stage is to simply build an instrument that works. This challenge is what I think is the most fun and exciting which is to start from a blank
sheet of paper to come up with a design that I think is actually relatively complex.� Some of the methods used for the research are unknown to even UNM instructors, Crow said, as they are creating instruments to be used in the future. “The fun part comes in the ideas and implementation that we come up with,� he said. “Because of the nature of the project, we have been looking at unique pieces of hardware that some of our professors didn’t even know had been done.�
scholarships available on the Parent Association website for students to take advantage of. Probasco said the Parent Association has the ability to empower parents who feel disconnected from their children in college and aid students struggling with academic debt.
The Parent Association focuses on involving parents in UNM’s missions and goals. Many students will finish their education in debt, and scholarships such as these are the extra hands to help carry the financial burden of higher education costs, she said.
Lightning from page 1 we are trying to detect,� he said. Lightning is the perfect tool to study upper atmospheric charge, Suddarth said. “The way that we are trying to measure it is to use a signal that is naturally generated, which is lightning strikes,� he said. “You have a lightning strike that occurs down near the Earth or close to the Earth and you have a satellite that is up in the ionosphere. The signal from the lightning is received by the satellite, and looking at the signal from the satellite we can say some-

Probasco said the scholarship allows parents to extend their reach beyond their own children. “As parents, we know this will help students meet their financial responsibilities and help them reach their educational goals,� she said. Probasco said there are many

U.S.’s role in Iranian politics hypocritical, tyrannical Editor, The continued military threats from the Obama administration toward Iran are breathtaking in both their arrogance and hypocrisy. How many people know that the CIA overthrew a democratically elected prime minister named Mohammad Mosadegh in 1953? Mosadegh was sent into exile for nationalizing the nation’s oil wealth. After Mosadegh was exiled, the tyrannical Shah was put into power by the Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration. The human rights abuses of the Shah never bothered successive U.S. presidents so long as he remained on friendly terms with the oil companies. The people of Iran eventually revolted against their tyrant in 1979 the same way the founders of this country revolted against the King of England in 1776. Today, not too many people with a clean conscience will accept the “do as I say, not as I do” approach to leadership. Unless the U.S. gives up its nuclear weapons and comes clean about its role in overthrowing Mosadegh, the Obama administration should keep silent. Muhajir Romero UNM student
New Arizona law prevents what Islamic extremism promotes Editor, I would like to respond briefly to Muhajir Romero’s letter. First of all, it’s not racist for the state of Arizona to make their local immigration laws stricter. According to a recent Cafferty File report from the CNN website, nearly 20 percent of Mexican people entering the U.S. illegally through Arizona have a criminal record. All of the border states have the legal right to hunt down these criminals and bring them to justice under the fullest extent of the law. He said that Islam is the one religion that erases from society the race problem. Really? Not too long ago, two female radical Muslims killed more than 38 people in Moscow. It seems to me that Islam is the only religion in the world that promotes itself through violence. There are so many news reports like this one of radical Muslims killing innocent people. If the vast majority of Muslims claim to be peace-loving people then why is there no outcry from them to condemn these senseless acts of terrorism? Why do they allow these tragedies to happen in the first place? Andres Saenz UNM alumnus

Letters Daily Lobo has no right to censor comments section Editor, Why did you close the comments section for the column “Editorial April 22” by Eva Dameron? Why will you print an op-ed piece by one of your writers describing how fat people make him sick, but now — all of a sudden — you feel the need to censor your product? I hope it’s obvious that I’m asking this rhetorically. I know why you did it. You want to avoid people posting comments similar to the one Dameron described. I’m just wondering why you don’t show overweight Americans the same courtesy you do African Americans. If I remember correctly, the Daily Lobo even defended its decision to print that op-ed
Campaign money from mom doesn’t prove fundraising skills Editor, Martin Gutierrez said he was able to raise money to get his message out, and that this demonstrates he will be able to bring money into GPSA. His biggest donor was his mother. Is she independently wealthy? Is she the CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation? Will she kick in a few hundred thousand to GPSA? Even if he could find businesses to contribute to GPSA, the UNM administration would forbid the practice because it will not allow GPSA to compete with the administration’s
Provosts’ illogical claims will further harm graduation rates Editor, After the resignations of two of the six tenure-track faculty in the mathematics and statistics department, the Albuquerque Journal quoted Provost Suzanne Ortega as stating: “There’s absolutely no evidence to suggest that this particular loss of faculty or any other has diminished the quality of the instruction.” Wow! Even before they leave, she can predict that their departure will have no effect. The darn thing is, Provost Ortega and Vice Provost Wynn Goering are in desperate need of mathematical assistance. Last September, Ortega and Goering concocted an op-ed piece for the Albuquerque Journal that touted, erroneously, a “remarkable area of strength” for UNM: “for many years now Hispanic students have graduated from UNM at nearly twice the rate of Hispanics nationwide.” Not so. Not even close. UNM
piece, writing that it represented one person’s opinion. So why not defend the comment in question? Again, this is a rhetorical question. My point is the Daily Lobo shouldn’t get to pick what kind of people it will defend, and it should be clear that the Lobo should respect all people. At least I think so. I didn’t read the comment that Dameron wrote about, but I trust it was every bit as terrible as she described. But why should we all have to suffer because of one idiot’s words? The comments section is a great way to get dialogue going and since, understandably, the Daily Lobo can’t print all letters to the editor, it makes sense to have a medium that allows readers to express their opinions. It would be a mistake to do away with the comments section. It would be just as much of a mistake as printing the hate piece against fat people last year and just as stupid as the
person that made the racist comment. The comment section should be left as is, so that readers can know that the views of others are not being altered by Lobo staff. Perhaps, a “hide” feature could be added? Yahoo! News uses one. It allows users to rate comments, and those comments with the lowest scores are hidden, but still accessible to people who want to read them. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.
efforts to secure corporate dollars. This country is in a severe economic downturn. Businesses are closing their doors. Albuquerque Public Schools are talking about laying off teachers. Where will he find the money? I guess he can tell everyone to send a “GPSA” text to 505505505 to donate $10 to the cause. If that does not work, he can tell everyone to bring their ShamWows to UNM University Stadium for an old-fashioned car wash. The guys can stand out on the street in their Speedos with signs that say, “I do windows for $20.” We can also start selling GradPro Student Cookies. I think chocolate mint cookies would be a hit. We could also have a few “keggers”
with a beer pong tournament. It will cost $10 to get in the door and $20 to be in the tournament. I think Marble might donate a few barrels of IPA or Red. We need to focus on money that is possible to obtain. This is funding at UNM that is being spent on entertainment instead of invested in academics and research. This is a challenge we can tackle if we work with faculty and staff and if we have the right leadership. A regent puppet with unrealistic expectations is not the right leadership.
Hispanics graduate below (42 percent) the national rate (49 percent). I met with Ortega and Goering and urged them to work with the Journal to publish a correction. Both struck me as innumerate and aloof. Their illogical and inappropriate use of sources and simple mathematical oversights would embarrass an undergraduate math student. Neither seemed concerned about their misuse of statistics and a correction was never published. Even if the Journal had declined to accommodate them on the editorial page, UNM could have printed the correction as an advertisement. According to Goering’s web page, one of his research areas is historical fiction. That much is believable. But what the administration needs is sound statistical and financial analysis, not fiction. How many programs did Ortega, Goering and University President David Schmidly cut because they deluded themselves into thinking that Hispanics at UNM were graduating at twice the national rate? This strange disregard for sound statistics from the Office of the
- Provost has now reached into the very heart of the mathematics and statistics department. I fondly remember Cleve Moler, a popular UNM math professor in the late 1970s who is now a famous mathematician and entrepreneur. I don’t know when, or why, he left UNM — I believe he went to Stanford. Dr. Moler and others developed Matlab, a top-notch and very expensive math package used in the industry. His company, MathWorks, now employs over 2,000. Their website states they have 1 million users. Moler has been president of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Imagine if Dr. Moler had stayed at UNM. How many future Cleve Molers will bid UNM goodbye? Provost Ortega and Vice Provost Goering should do the right thing for UNM and make apologies and counter-offers to assistant professors Michele Guindani and Curtis Storlie.
David Luna Daily Lobo reader Editor’s note: We’re not doing away with the comment section. Also, the column referencing fat people was not written by a Daily Lobo employee and precedes the current Daily Lobo editor-inchief’s term. Thanks for writing in, David.

Curry: An inexpensive Eastern treat by Jennifer Gignac Daily Lobo
It’s easy to end up at McDonald’s on a break between classes to grab a quick bite, but those quick bites will sometimes bite back. It can be a challenge to maintain a healthy lifestyle on a student schedule and budget. Exercise and a good diet can be a commitment that conflicts with a class load and study time, but it can be done. You will notice the benefits of being healthy give you the energy you need to get through a long week of classes. How can you do that with little money and even less time? One way is cooking with curry. Curry is an acquired taste and is best to introduce into your diet slowly if you aren’t used to it. It is also a fairly inexpensive spice and full of flavor. Curry, according to AssociatedContent.com, can boost brain function. It can also assist with lung congestion and

fighting infections. One great place to purchase curry for cheap is the 99 Bahn Oriental Supermarket at 5315 Gibson Boulevard S.E., about two miles from campus. You can get a small can of red curry paste for less than $2. A rice cooker is also a great investment. I have a Black and Decker 3-cup rice cooker that I got online for $13. Here is one of my favorite curry recipes: 1 can red curry paste 2 cups of rice 1 cup of hot water 1 block of firm tofu 1 small zucchini 1 lemon
Take the can of curry and pour the contents into a bowl with 1 cup of hot water. Mix ingredients together to create a sauce. If you want to make it really saucy then add more water. Cook the rice and set it aside. Slice the tofu and zucchini into small pieces. Place the pieces into a saucepan with the curry sauce and juice from the lemon. Cook on the stove to desired tenderness. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon onto rice and enjoy. I love this dish because you can substitute almost anything into it, meat or vegetables. You can also add spices to curry like rosemary, sage, paprika and any favorites you have. The whole dish cost me $6 and lasted for about five meals. It heats up well and keeps for a week.

Given the choice, Taylor said she would always wear a rainbow. She said she loves the full spectrum of colors because of the energy it represents. Plus, whenever she wears rainbows, she always has something to catch her eye during boring classes. Sometimes she gets weird looks because of her bold color choices and lack of shoes, but she said she does not care so long as she is colorfully comfortable.
