Caldera still listed on UNM’s payroll Schmidly Law school has diverted former president’s salary for operational costs like guest lecturers, student travel by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu

Former UNM President Louis Caldera left the position almost five years ago, but his name still appears in the University salary book as a law school professor making $124,000 a year. Caldera has not received a penny from his listed salary since he has not instructed a course at the law school after leaving the University in 2006, said Kevin Washburn, UNM Law School dean. “We were receiving his salary, but we weren’t paying it to him,” he said. Instead, the law school used his salary to cover operational costs such as guest lecturers, fac-

ulty and student travel, and research positions. “They (UNM) don’t give us operational revenues to pay for the administration of the law school,” he said. “We would use any additional revenue that we have to run the school.” Since UNM allocates money to the law school based on the revenue it receives from faculty salaries, additional revenue often includes salaries from faculty who are on leave. “Salary lines fund the law school. When we have a professor on leave, we harvest their salary line,” Washburn said. “They are not getting paid; we get the money at the law school, so we use that money to help us pay for

other expenses that we really need to cover.” Caldera negotiated for a tenure home at the law school when he took his job as University president, according to UNM spokesman Benson Hendrix. Caldera has been on sabbatical since he resigned from the president’s office in January 2006. The Provost’s Office confirmed Caldera resigned from the faculty in December 2010. However, his position is still considered as part of the salary faculty line at the law school. As a result, his salary will be used to fund different functions at the law school next year, Washburn said. “We rely on certain people being gone,” he said. “Every year we

got two or three people who teach elsewhere or are on leave. If everybody who is technically on our faculty at the law school in one year were teaching and demanding a salary, we would go broke.” Caldera could not be reached for comment. The salary book, which is compiled by the payroll department, could also be using bad data, Washburn said. “It lists what his (Caldera’s) salary would be if he was teaching at the University,” he said. “But since he was on leave, he wasn’t drawing it. So, technically, it’s right.” Representatives from the payroll department declined to

to decide SFRB makeup by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu

A proposed Student Fee Review Board policy change has once again pitted the graduates against the undergraduates. The Student Fee Review Board has five undergraduate students and four graduate students who can vote on student fees, but that might change if UNM President David Schmidly accepts a recommendation to change the board to seven undergraduates and two graduates. GPSA president-elect Katie Richardson said this recommendation threatens to extinguish the SFRB’s graduate student voice. “Even as the board stands now, graduates need at least one undergrad to agree (to pass) any proposal that we make,” she said in an April 12 interview. The recommendation comes from a task force Schmidly put together last year. The task force, composed of UNM students and staff, was formed to evaluate and make recommendations on SFRB processes and policy 1310, the policy the board uses to make fee recommendations to the president. In order to form its recommendations, the task force met with UNM faculty, staff, student-feefunded organizations, current and past SFRB members, and undergraduate and graduate students. The task force suggested changing the number of student representatives on the board to nine members. It released a report in October 2010. The report said the task force recognizes that the change would diminish graduate presence on the board, but the change would be consistent with the ratio of

The University announced three finalists for the interim provost position on Monday, continuing a month-long process to replace former provost Suzanne Ortega. The finalists — Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, Chaouki T. Abdallah and James W. Linnell — will interview this week to succeed Ortega. All three are employed at UNM. Each will be part of a public forum where faculty, staff and students can ask questions. Abdallah

and Linnell will have their forums Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, at 9:30 a.m. in the SUB Theater. The interim provost will begin a two-year term July 1. Ortega, named the senior vice president of Academic Affairs at the University of North Carolina on April 11, takes over in North Carolina on July 1. She made $260,000 plus benefits at UNM. Lopez, a professor at the UNM School of Law, held her forum Tuesday. She said UNM needs to increase its graduation rates.

Nonresident students could face an almost 300 percent tuition increase if they take fewer than six credit hours. This semester, full-time, nonresident students are paying about $6,500 more than resident students, according spring 2011 figures from the Bursar’s Office. Nonresident students taking six hours or fewer are given a tuition waiver that allows them to pay resident rates. That will all change unless UNM decides to pay those waivers, said Curtis Porter, associate vice president of budget and analysis for Academic Affairs. He said the state previously paid for

the waivers, which are offered to about 900 students, and cost the state more than $4 million the last two semesters. “Although no one has made a decision yet, it is pretty well agreed that UNM cannot afford to keep funding all of these waivers,” he said. “So now a policy has to be drafted that will outline who will be eligible for the waiver in the future.” Porter stressed that the administration has not yet made a final decision. He said obtaining residency takes about a year in New Mexico. The waiver cuts could discourage foreign exchange students from attending UNM and will impact the ones already here, said Linda Melville, associate director of the Office of International Programs and

Studies. “Everyone’s trying to figure out what exactly happened,” she said. “They’re also trying to figure out whether the University can cover that out-of-state tuition.” About 80 international students work in graduate programs, and Melville said she is worried about students who are working on their dissertations. She said those students are normally considered fulltime in order to maintain their Visa status but take fewer than six credit hours. “At this point, those dissertation hours are inexpensive because they’re under the six-credit-hour limit,” she said. “What’s not clear is

(whether) those students are going to get some sort of special, reduced tuition.” Melville said high tuition rates are already a problem for undergraduate international students, especially those without scholarships. Some of them take classes at other UNM campuses, such as Valencia, because tuition rates are lower than those on main campus, she said. If UNM doesn’t end up paying for the waivers, these students’ tuition could go up as much as $5,000, even if they take classes at branch campuses, Melville said. UNM will cover the waiver for fall, Porter said, but footing the bill forever isn’t sustainable. “We probably cannot afford to keep doing this for everyone,” he said. “Basically the University bought time to figure out what to do by just saying that for fall.”

comment. Caldera received a compensation package of more than $323,000 when he resigned as president. Had Caldera received a paycheck from the law school, his pay would fall roughly within the median salary for UNM Law School professors. “There is faculty that makes more than that, and there is faculty that makes less than that; it’s not grossly out of kilter,” he said. Washburn said the law school would prefer not to rely so heavily on salaries from professors on leave. “We can barely keep track of professors coming or going,” he said. “If a professor is on leave for a semester, their salary will still be listed. We have only 30 faculty or so, but, at any given time, five or six of them are on sabbatical or

working at another school. It’s always a moving target.” Although Calderas’ salary helped the law school, it was important to open his spot so a fulltime professor could take it, Washburn said. “We didn’t want to keep holding his spot to keep us from hiring, so he graciously agreed to forgo keeping that option available,” Washburn said. “We are usually willing to do it for a year without too much trouble. After that, we start asking questions of whether he still needs it.” By next year, the law school will have another salary to replace Caldera’s, Washburn said. “It would be helpful to get money for operational expenses so we could cover all the things we have to do like faculty travel and research assistants,” he said.

ASUNM President and SFRB Chair Laz Cardenas did not respond to the Daily Lobo’s interview requests about the policy change.

“I think the suggestion came in a time of frustration.” ~Michael Thorning SFRB member Michael Thorning, former ASUNM chief-of-staff and SFRB member, said ASUNM passed a resolution in October 2010 supporting the task force’s recommendation to change the makeup of the board, even though the task force had not released the recommendation for public review. “I think Laz was advocating it to the task force,” Thorning said. “The task force was meeting with past and current members of the board to review the process. They talked with all the departments and members on the board. I think the suggestion came out of that process.” Richardson said GPSA will vote on a resolution next week that encourages the president not to change the board’s makeup and give graduate students a say in how their fees are spent. Thorning said he doesn’t see a need to change the board’s makeup because ASUNM already has the majority of members.

“We need to work with our counterparts in primary and secondary education to assure that our students are eager to join us and prepared for the rigorous and effective education they will receive at the university level,” she said before the forum. Abdallah, a professor with the UNM School of Engineering, is the chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He has been with UNM since 1988. “By virtue of my technical background, I believe in feedback, both positive and negative and in the creative energy of different opinions,” he said. “I believe in an engaged academic community that keeps the administration focused and the outside world informed.” Linnell joined UNM in 1975.

undergraduates to graduates. In 2009, about 19,600 undergraduates and 5,900 graduates were enrolled. “The current representation of students on the SFRB does not reflect the true composition of students paying mandatory student fees,” the report said. “This change would align student (full-time enrollment) with voting membership to the board and would be consistent with our peer institution — University of Arizona.” The task force’s recommendations are in the public comment phase, said Carol Stephens, director of the UNM policy office. She said the public comment phase ends on the last day of classes. Depending on public comments, the amendment will either be passed onto the president for approval or will go back to the task force to be changed. The policy says that amendments can only be adopted by the President, but three-quarters of SFRB voting members must approve the amendment before it can be submitted to the president. Richardson said that if the president changes the board’s representation, it will violate section nine regarding amendments of policy 1310, because three-fourths of the current board did not approve the change. But Stephens said Richardson might have misinterpreted the policy because the president can institute a change at any time. “If you look to the top, it says ‘Subject to change without notice,’” she said.

He is the interim dean at the College of Fine Arts and a professor in the Department of Theater and Dance. He had a seat at the table during the most recent budget process, where he said he learned the importance of shared governance. “This process created a budget result more favorable to the academic mission than any of us expected at the start,” he said. “In my view it was a window into a way of working that should be continued and built upon.” The UNM internal search committee selected the three finalists.

“I think the suggestion came in a time of frustration, and perhaps if it had come after the process, people might have felt different.” Richardson said the proposed change puts graduates at a disadvantage and creates tension between ASUNM and GPSA. “The students sitting on the SFRB take student fees extremely seriously,” she said. “It’s money out of students’ pockets, and we want to make sure that the money is spent well. We expect the same respect back from the president.”

LETTER Provost hopefuls should focus on students with disabilities Editor, To the candidates for UNM Provost: I am writing to you as a student with a disability — in this case, spinal cord injury. I would like to know what you are going to do about the lack of access at UNM for students with disabilities. I have faced quite a bit of what may be fairly characterized as extreme discrimination at UNM. Among the many incidents I have faced are: having my accessible chair removed from the classroom literally as I sat in it. The chair was described in what one would think would have been sufficient language as a required support in an agreement between UNM Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) and the UNM School of Architecture and Planning. But unfortunately, in the absence of effective training for inclusion, and in a culture of hostility against individuals with disabilities, the language that we also speak may be just another barrier that produces even more acrimony. In the UNM Fine Arts Department, I had virtually no access up to some of the kilns because of piles of junk that obstructed access. I also had no access to the damp room because student work was piled on the floor, preventing my entry. The professor in the class harassed me the entire semester — never at any time allowing access or even complying with requested supports as specified in a “mediation session,” at which UNM ARC Director Joan Green and UNM Attorney Patty Bluett were present. Please note: in the mediation session the professor falsely accused me of posting threatening notes on the classroom door. I never at any time put any notes of any kind on the classroom door. UNM has a history of poor performance with regard to the overall delivery of services and support for students with disabilities. Those of us who dare to bring up the issue in any way are penalized academically and criminalized by professors and staff. And the costs, financial and otherwise, are really quite extreme. Some years ago, I wrote a letter in reply to a piece penned by then-Provost Reed Dasenbrock titled “UNM Aggressively Courts the Best and the Brightest” that was published in the Albuquerque Journal. In that piece, Dasenbrock never at any time mentioned how UNM programs would address the needs of highly qualified students with disabilities. In my letter titled “Best and Brightest Can’t Omit Disabled,” I asked Dasenbrock how he would increase diversity by including students with disabilities in his considerations. How will you, when you are selected as UNM Provost, provide increased access for students with disabilities at UNM? How will you lobby for support for equity and inclusion in Santa Fe to bring about improved funding for UNM ARC? How will you build effective, long-range planning for students with disabilities, which includes funded training for UNM faculty and staff in equity and inclusion? How will you “effectively” decrease the climate of hostility toward the disabled that prevails at UNM? Frank Martin UNM student

reading, you reply that you’ve been far too busy to pick up a novel. The only things you write are your name on quizzes or pointless papers in which you use big words and long sentences to make your professors think you’re learning. I ask you to take up a novel. Do not avoid literature. You run from it! You only visit your libraries to use the Internet. You go to the bookstore to buy sweatshirts and calendars. Why, you don’t even bother reading the clever things your peers chalk on the ground! You’re concerned that your mind will get a taste of knowledge and begin growling for more. And what’s far worse than this: You say that Catcher in the Rye is your favorite book even though you haven’t read it since 11th grade. Even then, did you really understand it? Did you think Holden Caulfield was the cool dude you wanted to emulate? How impossible! Put your training wheels back on.

Begin at the beginning. Find an old copy of Winnie The Pooh so that you can lose yourself in the writing without worrying that it will take too long or be too difficult for your overworked mind. Better yet, read Dr. Seuss. Remind yourself of the joy reading gave you. Read it out loud! Read it to your friends, to strangers, to yourself. Don’t substitute a good book with a YouTube video of raccoons in a bathtub. Don’t waste your time gossiping or quoting the latest celebrity-gone-insane. You are worthy of reading. You spent years learning how to make the written word form a voice in your mind. Let it out. It is honorable to find yourself procrastinating homework for a good book. Garden your mind.

Look around you. Look at the nonreligious Muslims in the middle east: secular Muslims, Jews and Christians murdered en masse from Iran to Lebanon to Tunisia. Not a religious enough Muslim who is gay? No problem, the leadership can fix that with some rope and a crane in downtown

The list goes on and on and on. Some folks like to point the finger at others, seemingly oblivious that their own background ideology and culture, adopted or inherited, is actually the biggest target of their own complaint parade. Pardon the cliches, but such folks are classic examples of the pot calling the kettle black, or those in glass houses who incredulously throw stones at others.

Sunday Alamba / AP Photo A woman casts her vote during gubernatorial election in Uyo, Nigeria, on Tuesday. Nigeria began voting Tuesday for who should serve as state governors in the oil-rich nation.

Violence erupts at Nigeria polls by Jon Gambrell Associated Press

IKOT EFUM, Nigeria â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gunmen fired Kalashnikov rifles in the air and others brandished machetes while storming a polling place Tuesday, as voters in Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populous nation struggled to cast ballots after the presidential election sparked riots killing at least 500 people last week. The attackers made off with the yet-to-be-voted ballots, the ballot box and the youth volunteer in charge of this villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election in Akwa Ibom state, witnesses told The Associated Press. While international observers applauded Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative and presidential elections held earlier this month, the violence that has erupted in the aftermath has threatened the stability of this major U.S. oil-supplying nation in West Africa.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see, in this country, democracy is premature.â&#x20AC;? ~Abdullah Fanap, 68 Problems had begun even before polls opened Tuesday for gubernatorial elections in about two-thirds of Nigerian states. Two elections in the states hardest hit by the postelection violence that left charred corpses along the highways are due to be held Thursday. About 700 members of Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Youth Service Corps, who were supposed to run polling stations, already had been evacuated from states in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muslim north hit by violence last week, said Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Emergency Management Agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just left,â&#x20AC;? said a 25-year-old woman who had been serving in the northern state of Gombe as a poll worker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very few corps members are left in the state because we were not safe.â&#x20AC;? The one-year service program is mandatory for Nigerian university graduates younger than 30. Rules prohibit them from speaking to journalists. Rioting broke out across the north when election results showed President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from

the south, had won. Many in the predominantly Muslim north believe someone from their region should be in power because the elected Muslim president died last year before he could finish his term. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gubernatorial races also carry tremendous importance because governors represent the closest embodiment of power many ever see in a nation of 150 million people. The positions provide many politicians with personal fiefdoms where oil money sluices into unwatched state coffers that exceed those of neighboring nations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the final power in the state,â&#x20AC;? said Pastor Regina Udofia, 37, who voted in Akwa Ibomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital city Uyo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their signature is final.â&#x20AC;? The thirst for that power has encouraged violence and election rigging before in Nigeria, which has held marred elections since becoming a democracy 12 years ago. That remains the case in Akwa Ibom state, home to many oil fields operated by the Nigerian subsidiary of U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp., which has seen rioters burn cars and torch a Jonathan campaign office in recent weeks. Just outside Uyo in Ikot Efum, voters stood by listlessly Tuesday after the gunmen stole the ballots. The two police officers assigned to protect the polling center carried no weapons of their own and merely sat down after the attack. Down the road, a station wagon sat engulfed in flames. Witnesses said local gang members torched the car after someone tried to alert authorities. Officials have postponed the governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; races in the two northern areas hardest hit by violence that erupted after the presidential election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kaduna and Bauchi states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until Thursday. But that might be enough time for the thousands who fled those areas to return home and vote. An estimated 40,000 people left amid postelection violence and retaliatory attacks following the April 16 presidential election, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how many have returned. In Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northeast, an explosion at a hotel killed three people and wounded 14 others in the city of Maiduguri on Sunday, police said. While no one claimed responsibility for that attack, a radical Muslim sect recently vowed to keep fighting there. Another blast went off early Tuesday

Tensions flare abruptly between Thailand, Cambodia by Thanyarat Doksone Associated Press

NONG KANNA, Thailand — Boonhome Surasuk has slept in a bomb shelter in his mostly abandoned village since late last week when the deadliest fighting in years erupted between Thailand and Cambodia. “I still don’t know why they are fighting. Maybe they want the land,” the 56-year-old Thai farmer said Tuesday of the latest conflict along the border near his home that so far has killed 13 soldiers and displaced 50,000 residents. Hours later, Boonhome fled into the cement bunker again as artillery rained down and fighting entered a fifth day. It remains unclear what exactly started the skirmishes. Control over the disputed land has stirred nationalism on both sides, and domestic politics may be fueling the conflict, especially in Thailand, where a military that staged its latest of several coups in 2006 could be flexing its muscle ahead of elections due in June or July. “All I can say is that it affects us all,” said Boonhome, one of about 80 men left in the mostly abandoned Thai village of Nong Kanna, about three miles (five kilometers) from the Cambodian border. Normally about 1,000 people live there. The largely long-distance artillery battles started Friday and were centered first around the ruins of the nearly 1,000-year-old Ta Moan and Ta Krabey temples, which are on territory claimed by both countries. On Tuesday, fighting spread 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the east, to an area near the 11th century Hindu temple Preah Vihear that was the scene of four days of deadly fighting in

Sakchai Lalit / AP Photo Injured Thai soldiers are attended to after fighting between Thailand and Cambodia in Surin province, northeastern Thailand, on Tuesday. Officials said Tuesday the worst fighting between Thai and Cambodian forces in years has spread, with both sides exchanging artillery and rifle-fire near another temple in a disputed zone along the border. February. Preah Vihear is the most prominent symbol of the border dispute, which has erupted several times since 2008, when the temple was given U.N. World Heritage status over Thailand’s objections. On Tuesday, the sound of explosions could still be heard sporadically in the border region after nightfall. A Cambodian field commander, Col. Suos Sothea, said in

the afternoon there had also been a new round of artillery duels near Ta Moan. In Nong Kanna, Boonhome said the village was alive with the sound of playing children just last week, but now “all we hear is the sound of gunshots and fighting.” Shortly after speaking to an Associated Press reporter, Boonhome fled to a concrete and wood bomb shelter built into the earth

near a school as Cambodian shells again rained down, causing no casualties. “I don’t dare go out of the bunker right now,” the 56-year-old farmer later told the AP by cell phone. “This is even worse than the days before.” Other villagers in Nong Kanna who refused to evacuate were hiding under large cement water pipes and digging temporary

bunkers at the end of the sugar cane fields. Some carried shotguns. Many of those who fled left tractors and motorcycles behind. Cambodia said one of its soldiers was killed in fighting late Monday, bringing the total toll among Thai and Cambodian troops to 13. Government authorities say about 30,000 Thai civilians and 20,000 Cambodians have fled their homes.

Dogs maul, kill NM woman by Sue Major Holmes Associated Press

A woman from Truth or Consequences died after being attacked by a pit bull and three pit bull mix dogs while taking a walk in her neighborhood Easter Sunday, authorities said. Officer James Harrington found four pit bulls mauling Margaret Salcedo, 48, when he arrived in response to a 911 call from a neighbor who heard her screams for help, Police Chief Patrick Gallagher said Tuesday. A young man driving by told police he tried to get out of his vehicle but the dogs threatened him and he stayed put, Gallagher said. Harrington couldn’t drive the animals off, and had to fire

several shots at one of the dogs when it threatened him, the chief said. That animal fled, wounded, and Harrington was able to scatter the remaining dogs. Harrington and emergency technicians gave first aid to Salcedo, but she died at Sierra Vista Hospital several hours after the attack in the central New Mexico community of about 7,500 people, Gallagher said. “The wounds were very severe, bite wounds and tearing wounds to her extremities, so there was a lot of blood loss,” Gallagher said. The chief said he did not know Salcedo, but officers were told she does not own a car and walks where she needs to go. She has two grown children, he said. The dogs’ owners were not

home when the attack occurred. The yard is fenced, but officers found several areas where the animals could have gotten out and into the neighborhood of singlefamily homes and mobile homes, Gallagher said. Once Salcedo was on her way to the hospital, Harrington tracked the blood from the wounded dog and found the animals at their owners’ home, Gallagher said. The dog that was shot was dead under the house, he said. The surviving dogs were taken to the Sierra Animal Shelter, where they are quarantined pending the end of the investigation, Gallagher said. He said he expects the dogs will be euthanized once the investigation ends.

Tornado kills nine, devastates town by Andrew DeMillo and Normaan Merchant Associated Press

VILONIA, Ark. — A tornado tore up a small central Arkansas town, killing four people and leaving the governor wondering Tuesday how so many others managed to survive. The night of brutal storms killed at least nine people in the state, and more harsh weather was forecast. The tornado smashed through the heart of Vilonia, just north of Little Rock, on Monday night, ripping the roof off the grocery store, flattening homes, tossing vehicles into the air and twisting one tractor-trailer like a wrung dish rag. Four people died in less-thansturdy structures in the Black Oak Subdivision of Vilonia. Two were a couple from Greenbrier, David and Katherine Talley, who sought shelter in a detached trailer from a big-rig truck. Faulkner County spokesman Stephan Hawks said the Talleys climbed into the trailer rather than endure the storm in their car. The trailer was blown into a pond, where their bodies were found. Another victim was Charles

Mitchell, 55, who died in his mobile home. A 63-year-old man who lived in another mobile home also died, and Hawks said his name would be released after relatives are notified. Gov. Mike Beebe toured the rural community of 3,800 with emergency officials Tuesday morning and talked with storm survivors as they cleared debris from their homes. “These folks have faced some terrible losses and I’m surprised there aren’t more fatalities, based upon looking at some of the damage,” Beebe said. Beebe credited the survivals on an early tornado-warning system, “luck” and “just the good Lord watching over.” The tornado battered most of the homes in the Quail Hollow subdivision of Vilonia, leaving many without a roof. A wooden fence could be seen sticking out of the top of one house. Terina Atkins, a middle school librarian, said she and her family rode out the storm in their laundry room. Adkins said she heard a loud sucking noise and realized that air was being sucked out through the drain.

Bañuelos said the center staff chose to hold the ceremony outside so that community members will see it as they walk by. They will hand out special cords so that graduates can identify themselves as having participated in the Rainbow Graduation when they walk at the general graduation. Flores said the ceremony is important to build support for the LGBTQ community. “I think that people kind of undermine that, and people don’t realize how difficult it can be for some people,” he said. “So we’re just kind of acknowledging that accomplishment. And by doing stuff like this it encourages people to come out and know that there are allies and supporters out there.” Guest speakers from the LGBTQ community will talk and members of UNM faculty and administration will put hoods on graduates and give them their cords, and a number of surprise events are planned, Flores said. “I think we might have a couple of cool things in store that aren’t confirmed yet, so we can’t talk about them. But there’s going to be some cool stuff,” he said. Silva-Bañuelos revealed one surprise people can expect when they come to the Rainbow Graduation. “We are asking for some of the drag queens in our community to be ushers and to really represent that constituency in the graduation,” she said.

digital maps were far more primitive or completely unavailable. As comprehensive as Google’s U.S maps are, the Internet search leader believes they can get a lot better with the help of citizen cartographers. Google is hoping people will be willing to volunteer to designate where their favorite neighborhood hangouts are or perhaps label all the buildings on the campus of their alma mater or a nearby university. Other local knowledge conceivably could be used to plot which streets have bike lanes or the locations of community parks. All proposed changes submitted through http://mapmaker.google. com will be reviewed for mistakes before they appear in Google’s map-

ping service. Google will rely on volunteer moderators in addition to using its computer to track the trustworthiness of the users who log into the mapmaking service. Calling upon the collective knowledge of users with expertise in particular topics is similar to the approach used to create Wikipedia, the Internet’s leading online encyclopedia. Although Wikipedia has published some embarrassing mistakes during its 10-year history, it has proven reliable enough to become one of the Internet’s most frequented destinations. Google says it also has found citizen cartographers to be diligent and accurate in the other countries where the map-editing tools already have been available.

Students who have had to pick between a general graduation ceremony and a ceremony for their department now have a third option: Rainbow Graduation. It’s a new ceremony for LGBTQ students and their friends (and allies) organized by the LGBTQ Resource Center. Alma Rosa Silva-Bañuelos, the center’s program coordinator, said the ceremony is meant to honor LGBTQ students and allies for the additional struggles they may have faced at the University because of their sexual orientation. She said the Rainbow Graduation recognizes students not only for academic achievement, but for sticking with college despite potentially challenging circumstances. “I think LGBTQ students were not acknowledged nor were allies (in the general graduation ceremonies),” she said. “So, now that the Resource Center exists, we are acknowledging these students, and we are also acknowledging the additional struggle that they might have had during their college career as out students.” Frankie Flores, a volunteer staffer at the Resource Center, said he and the Resource Center staff helped to organize the ceremony. “We’re all working on it together,” he said. “I’ve been looking at other college campuses’ Lavender Graduations or Rainbow Graduations and seeing what they’re doing and kind of following their models.” UNM’s Resource Center chose the name Rainbow Graduation, but a lot of schools use “lavender graduation,” Flores said. He said the use of lavender to represent the LGBTQ community dates back to Nazi-era Germany.

“The color lavender is significant for the LGBTQ community because it’s a combination of the pink and black triangles that were used during the Holocaust,” he said. “So that’s why they use ‘lavender graduation’ so much. It’s a color for pride and stuff.” Flores said he singled out a couple of schools to model UNM’s Rainbow Graduation ceremony after, and it will stick fairly close to the model of those other schools. “Ours, I think, isn’t going to be too different,” Flores said. “There’s kind of this overwhelming sense of just being who you are. That’s one of the cool things we like about these ceremonies is it’s not cap-andgown required. You can dress however you want. One of the things we’re not doing is we’re not charging people, and a lot of schools do charge for their graduation ceremony. We thought that was kind of ridiculous. One school, it was only $10, but that’s 10 bucks that most people don’t have.” Silva-Bañuelos said the center staff has been planning the ceremony since the center was founded at the beginning of last semester. “We’ve had the date saved for a while,” she said. The graduation is open to all who want to walk, but participants must register by May 6 if they want their name to appear in the program, Silva-Bañuelos said. She said anyone who wants to speak at the ceremony will be welcome after the graduates walk. “We’re encouraging friends and family to come support the graduates, and we will have an opportunity for friends and family, at the end of the ceremony, to come make comments on behalf of the graduates,” she said. The ceremony will be held in Hodgin Hall’s East Plaza, followed by a reception in the center. Silva-

SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. doesn’t hesitate to seek directions when it comes to trying to improve its online mapping service. That’s why Google is asking its users to add more details to its U.S. maps. The suggested revisions can be made beginning Tuesday through an editing tool that already has been used to create and refine maps in 183 other countries since 2005. Google, which is based in Mountain View, didn’t rush to introduce the map-making service in the U.S. because it already had good data in its home country. It decided instead to concentrate on filling in the gaps in other parts of the world where

What is stepping and step dance?

Stepping is a dance tradition created in the early 1900s by African American college students when the body is used as an instrument to create intricate rhythms and sounds through a combination of footsteps, claps and spoken word. Though stepping is traditionally aligned with college fraternities, the art form is spreading its wings to new venues and participants, such elementary and high schools, church and community groups and Latino, Native and Asian American Greek-letter organizations.

Well, I bet you also didn’t know that Union Carbide Corporation used to own Energizer before it divested it. But that didn’t stop the bunny from furiously marching on to the beat of its own drum. Then there’s the boyish charmer, Mickey Mouse, who exists as a moralistic caricature to absolve Walt of his anti-Semitic Disney empire. Anybody recall Donald Duck Hitler? But there’s a reason the whole Disney brand is embodied by a lofty tower — an unrepentantly ivory tower where all CEOs reside comfortably barricaded away from the greasy masses and the pawns who peddle their products. See, CEOs employ these manipulators called marketing branches. Their sole purpose: to trick you into buying, consuming and becoming products. Materialism is to the United States what communism is to China. But we’re all just a bunch of Nike-wearing fascists, exalting the product over the person. The product makes the person, and in China, people make our product. Through it all, humans can’t think of a company as an unintelligible mass of people, stacked on top of each other in high-rise buildings, and sitting in neatly kept cubicles waiting to answer calls and dispense helpful information. But we can conceive a company as a singular body, one who shares our emotions, ethics and values. But there’s no reason to suspect that, outside that little moderate-mannered lizard, the company shares a silly British accent, or more importantly, that good-natured, “lizard-next-door” attitude you long for. Try as they might, companies are not singular representations of anthropomorphized lizards, talking mice or subdued polar bears casually drinking caffeine-infused products. They’re companies, unconcerned with you, but infatuated with your greenbacks. In all this, it’s important to ask not what the company can do for you, but what you can do for the company.
