Traffic concerns nix recycling plant by Kevin Forte kforte@unm.edu
The Bernalillo County Commission denied an appeal on May 24 for a waste and recycling plant near UNM’s golf course. UNM’s Real Estate office is opposed to the recycling plant because it could have a negative effect on the groundwater near the golf course, Real Estate consultant Amy Coburn said. She said the proposed recycling plant would affect traffic in the area. “The frequency of the vehicles and the traffic loading on that road could negatively impact UNM’s ability to develop that site for the larger community,” she said. Traffic was the main concern for some council members, including Wayne Johnson. Johnson said he was concerned there weren’t enough long-term projections for traffic in the area. “They didn’t prove the traf-
fic issues and under this system, the burden of proof is upon them,” he said. “That’s really what it boils down to.” The County Planning Commission recommended the plant be approved in November 2010 and again last April, but both requests were denied. Concerned community members spoke at the hearings, according to meeting transcripts. “Impact on the community is a part of the equation for granting (this),” Johnson said. The plant would also affect the U.S. Food Services facilities near UNM south campus. U.S. Food Services’ Division President John Szurek said he was pleased that the appeal was denied because its construction could affect his facilities’ cleanliness. “It’s a contradiction to what we do in a clean business environment — handling perishable food and food products,” he said. “So we’re very pleased with the outcome.”

New construction banned by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
State university presidents agreed to enact a two-year moratorium on new construction by New Mexico universities, Governor Susana Martinez announced May 12. Martinez said in a statement the decision will benefit taxpayers. “This moratorium will help us to strike the right balance between providing accessibility to higher education programs and ensuring that taxpayers are not on the hook for unnecessary expansion,” she said. UNM Planning Officer Mary Kenney said in a May 13 Albuquerque Journal article that it is unclear how the ban will affect the University. “There are some pretty critical needs we have here, what we’re going to be doing is looking at (the ban), taking a look at where our
needs are, and figuring out what the impact would be, if there is any,” she said. Martinez said the current system rewards universities for building facilities, regardless if schools show increased student performance.
“ Taxpayers are not on the hook for unnecessary expansion,” ~Susanna Martinez, Governor New Mexico taxpayers collectively spend about $52,000 for each college graduate and $6 per square foot of academic space, according to the Department of Higher Education. Nearly 14 percent of state expen-
ditures go toward supporting higher education. The moratorium could save taxpayers roughly $4 million each year, according to a news release from the governor’s office. The ban prohibits new building projects but allows projects that secured funding before January 1 to continue. Non-state funded construction will also be allowed to continue. Martinez said that the moratorium will offset wasting money on building facilities that house redundant programs. “A school that was initially established to provide specialized training in a certain area of expertise wanders outside this expertise and begins offering duplicate programs and degrees already offered by other institutions, relying on the state and potential students to fund these new offerings,” she said.
Gas prices bode ill for all by Charlie Shipley pshipley@unm.edu

Rising gas prices not only put a strain on students’ wallets, but also affect UNM’s operation. Gary Smith, an associate director of UNM’s Physical Plant Department, said the rising cost of petroleum-based products and services like transportation, plastic trash can liners and fertilizers has tightened the budget. He said PPD uses 207 alternative fuel vehicles, and UNM’s reduced its unleaded gas usage by more than 15 percent since 2006. “We have to take the increase in fuel prices, which the PPD is heavily dependent on, out of our

operating budget,” he said. Student Steve Yoos said he also feels the strain of high gas prices and the need for fuel efficiency. He said he spends $60 a week on gas. “It takes about $30 to fill my gas tank, and I have to fill it about twice a week,” he said. “Living in the heights, I spend close to an hour a day just driving to and from school.” ABQ Ride spokesman Rick de Reyes said more than 99,000 UNM bus boardings were recorded in April, an increase of more than 12,000 from April 2010. “When gas prices go up, so does ridership,” he said. “Riders save money in very profound ways.”

CHAOUKI ABDALLAH
&
E S T I O N
UNM engineering chair Chaouki Abdallah was appointed interim provost on May 23. The Daily Lobo talked with Abdallah about his plans for the University.
Daily Lobo: How do feel about being named interim provost? Chaouki Abdallah: I feel honored and overwhelmed by the expectations, by how many people are sending me good wishes and so on. The truth of the matter is I put my hat in at the last minute. I had a discussion with my family after several people asked me to do it, but I wasn’t planning on it. It’s not something I lusted after, and then after I became a finalist I did not, truthfully, expect to be named. … DL: Do you think that having been a chair and having been faculty will help you in your position? CA: I like to think I am representing the academic side and not just the faculty. Truly, it’s the students that matter and not the faculty, because without them, we wouldn’t be here. Our core mission is how we get students into UNM and how we get them out so they will be productive members of society DL: Have some of your duties as provost already started?

INTERIM PROVOST
CA: No, not the duties, I’m data gathering right now. I’m in a lot of meetings with people. I’m not one to make the decisions just by what I think it should be. That doesn’t make sense to anybody. So I’m meeting with a lot of people, both within UNM and the provost office. DL: The Faculty Senate had complained about the lack of communication between faculty and administration. How do you plan to deal with that? CA: I think communication is a twoway street, but it’s not enough to say, “OK, I heard you.” You need to reply and say, “Here’s what we do, or here’s why we can’t do it.” … I have a lot of ears, a lot of antennas out there, and I have a lot of people on the ground who will say, “Look, people are concerned about this, or you’re not listening to this.” And I’m also reaching out to people I don’t know to try and establish these contacts. DL: Were you part of the no-confidence votes against the administration last year? CA: Well, 600 faculty members were part of it, but I spoke in that forum. So, yes, I was one of the four or five speakers, and if you go back and listen to what I said back then, I was concerned about the communication. To me, it was never about one person.

about the way things were being done. I think many people on both sides now agree that those things were not done properly. We’ve moved a little bit past it, but I think there’s still a lot of work to be done to make the University what it should be. DL: So what do you plan to change to improve the situation? CA: Well, remember I only have a one-year appointment right now, but there are things that are short-term that I can do, things that are medium-term that I can start and maybe finish by the end of the year, and there are things that are long-term that are cultural changes in the way that things are done that I hope to influence the direction of. I want to make sure that the academic mission always comes first. The first thing is the organization of the provost office. … There are a lot of redundant things among vice presidents and vacant important positions among the deans. Also, the way we get funding from the state is being revised, so that is another short-term thing. Another idea I’m starting to work is to try to harmonize some of the class offerings between the three major New Mexico universities.

THIS WEEK’S POLL: It’s now been 10 days since Harold Camping’s rapture prediction was incorrect. He said this was a computation error and the new date is Oct. 21, 2011, making it his fourth predication for the end of times. Is the fourth time the charm? Yes, Camping is a religious leader, and there’s no way he could be wrong four times. Maybe, it’s like they say: There are no atheists in a fox hole. Probably not. I can’t take another heartbreak from Camping. No, why is this still a thing?

LETTERS Resort meetings distract regents from UNM’s mission
COLUMN
Rapture better than graduating by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo Guest Columnist
Editor, I see the Board of Regents recently spent $12,000 to meet with the Health Sciences Center at the luxury Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa. They had to meet off campus, they say, to avoid distractions. The Department of Linguistics Signed Language Interpreting Program faculty also met last week to select new majors in this highly competitive program. We met on campus — in a room barely able to hold the nine faculty members, a candidate and signed language interpreter. The room was hot and stuffy because UNM maintenance was working on the air conditioning. We met from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and six hours on Saturday. Maybe the board needs to redirect its focus. Maybe a little distraction from the UNM campus would give the board better insight into the University’s dire academic conditions. Maybe then members would understand why main campus faculty believe the board and central administration have lost touch with the University’s heart and soul. Our interviews are over. We have selected a small group of 16 majors in our signed language interpreting program. Sadly, we turned away more students than we accepted because we don’t have the faculty, facilities, or resources to educate them. This comes in the face of a critical shortage of professional interpreters for the deaf citizens of our state. Next year, perhaps a board member would be willing to join us and experience the agony of destroying UNM students’ aspirations because the resources needed to educate them are being used to shield administrators from distractions.

It’s really a shame that Harold Camping, who predicted the rapture would come on May 21, was wrong. My problem would have been solved whether or not I got raptured. Either I would have ascended to the Kingdom of Heaven, or (a far more likely scenario) I would have stayed behind in a post-apocalyptic wasteland inhabited solely by sinners who proved unworthy of ascension. Actually, come to think of it, it’s entirely possible that the rapture did happen, and only three or four people were pious enough to actually be saved, so no one noticed. But I digress. In any case, the rapture did not come on May 21 to solve my dilemma, which is this: I have no idea what to do with myself. I graduated this semester, you see, leaving me with too much free time and too few ideas about how to spend it. I should, I realize, start looking for a job. But with the national unemployment rate still hovering at close to 10 percent, and New Mexico’s unemployment rate at a better-but-still-dismal 7.6 percent (source: U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics: www.bls.gov) the prospect of even looking for a job fills me with irrational terror. McDonalds’ recent “Hiring Day” event didn’t do much to assuage my fears. Making matters worse is the fact that my degree is in journalism. Print journalism. Given the state of the newspaper industry, this is kind of like having a degree as a dirigible pilot. Aside from professors in the C&J department, I only know one guy who has a degree in print journalism. He graduated from UNM ten years ago, and he now works as a (drumroll...) firefighter. He told me he tried to work as a journalist for a few years after graduation, and was never once certain he’d be able to make the next month’s rent. As a firefighter, he’s not going to get rich, but he told me it was an immediate and dramatic improvement in financial security versus working as a journalist.
So if my first career choice doesn’t work out, I can always run into burning buildings for a living, I suppose. Adding to the cheerful news is a recent spate of blogs and magazines, including the Daily Beast, the Huffington Post, and COED Magazine (whatever that is) that listed journalism as the number 1 most-useless degree. Maybe I shouldn’t have skipped that McDonald’s hiring day, after all. I’m in a better situation than most, actually, because I have enough money saved up to last me through the summer, at least. But the constant pressure from my friends, my girlfriend and my parents to find a job is enough to ruin any expectation of a relaxed summer. It would almost be easier to just get a job, except that my summer plans make this more-or-less impossible. I have a few family obligations coming up in June, and then I plan to travel in Mexico from the beginning of July until my depleting bank account forces me to stop. So tell me, dear reader, what job could I apply to in these conditions? Who would say, “We’d love to hire you! You can work two weeks in June and then start again in August, or September, or whenever you feel like it!” Actually, as a journalist, there are a lot of jobs like this. You simply work as a freelancer, and get paid by the article, with no commitment (or guarantee) that you’ll write another article next week. Of course, working as an entry-level freelancer in a small market (like Albuquerque) pays between 2050 dollars a week, which would barely pay my rent if I was living in a cardboard box in an alleyway. These post-graduation woes don’t apply only to journalism majors. In addition to the horrifying national unemployment rate, it’s quite possible that college degrees in general aren’t worth as much as they used to be. This theory has been making the rounds in economist’s circles as of late, and was propounded in recent articles by The Economist and New York Magazine. The theory goes like this: every year, there’s a higher percentage of Americans who have at least
a Bachelor’s degree. Following the rules of supplyand-demand economics, a greater supply of educated people means being educated is worth less. Intensifying the problem, higher student numbers means more student per class, which leads to a drop in the level of education. More and more schools are run like factories, churning out students with no concern for the actual level of education they get, as long as they pay for the privilege of receiving a degree at the end. There’s also the fact that this year, for the first time ever, Americans owe more money overall in student loan debt than in credit card debt. Add this all up and it begins to look rather bleak, indeed. It’s sad to think that, a few short months ago, I was ecstatic with the prospect of finally graduating. I’ve spent my entire life, literally for as long as I remember, going to school. It’s been my main (and often sole) occupation since I was four years old. I was so excited to finally graduate and break the routine that I had to restrain myself, on a daily basis, from running naked in the street and screaming with joy. But somewhere between reading all those depressing articles about the worthlessness of college degrees and realizing that my parents weren’t going to pay my rent anymore once I graduated, my enthusiasm waned and was replaced by a general sort of uneasiness about the future. Which leads me to my advice for my dear readers: don’t graduate. Just don’t do it. As long as you’re going to school, you won’t have to pay back your loans, and if you’re lucky enough to have parents that support you, they will stop doing that once you graduate. If you’re on a five-year graduation plan, make it an eight-year plan. And then try to squeeze a few extra years out of it. Change majors to radically different things with little overlap in required courses — for example, you could go from studying engineering to nutrition to theology. That ought to get you a good 12 years, at least. If only someone had given me this advice years ago, I could be sleeping my summer away on my parents’ dime. Instead, I’m off to update my résu-
LETTERS Cutting gym hours gives UNM staff a fat chance at getting fit Editor, Recreational Services did UNM staff a disservice when it stopped the time-honored tradition of opening Johnson Center from 7-9 a.m. during the break (May 14-June 5). This meant staff was no longer able to do physical therapy, workouts and whatnot before their eight-hour shift began. The decision to open the gym from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. created obvious hardships for staff members who were looking forward
to eating a leisurely one-hour lunch. And the expectation that one might be able to complete a proper workout after putting in an eight-hour shift is incomprehensible. If budgetary considerations are prompting the elimination of certain hours of operation, then simple common sense would dictate the exclusion of a different time slot. Chuck Reuben UNM Staff

Dylan Smith/Daily Lobo UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham takes questions from media members Monday at Coaches Sports Grill. The Lobos won the MWC tournament title and advanced to the NCAA tournament to face Arizona State in the first round Friday.
Tried and tested, now off to NCAA by Ryan Tomari
rtomari@unm.edu This season, UNM baseball catcher Mitchell Garver’s walk-up song to the batter’s box was David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.” By the looks of the season, that was about the only dancing UNM would do. That is, until the sixthseeded Lobos, 16-39 during the season, ripped four straight wins at the Mountain West Conference tournament in San Diego — two against No. 7 TCU, including the decisive championship-round win — to earn their second straight NCAA tournament appearance. UNM beat TCU 4-2 May 27, capping one of the most improbable runs in MWC tournament history. The Lobos face Arizona State on Friday in the Tempe, Ariz., regional. “I’m excited to see how we stack up,” Garver said. “That’s what happened this past weekend. I think we’re playing some of our best baseball. We did our thing, and we came out on top.”
UNM opened the season at ASU and was swept in a threegame series. The Sun Devils have 35 straight NCAA appearances and 22 in the College World Series. But UNM isn’t concerned about its opponent or the past. “We’re rolling right now,” outfielder Luke Campbell said. “We’re ready to go play Arizona State again and we’re just getting another shot at those guys.” UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said the Lobos survived the brutal schedule he compiled, which featured more road games than home games and included series with five ranked teams. “They stayed the course, believed, and it paid off,” he said. “You got to dare to be great with the schedule we had. I believed it was there — that it would happen, and I didn’t know when (winning the MWC tournament) would happen.” To get there, the Lobos defeated third-seeded BYU 5-4 in 11 innings on May 19 and staged a
dramatic, 4-3 come-from-behind win against top-seeded TCU in the second round. Just a week before the MWC tourney, the Horned Frogs swept UNM by a combined score of 3624, and the Lobos finished the season on a seven-game losing streak. All hope seemed lost for the youthful Lobos. Then UNM edged Utah 6-5 on May 26 to earn its spot in the championship round, and TCU beat Utah to set up a rematch. In his only pitching performance of the tournament, Austin House pitched six shutout innings before giving up two runs — one earned — in the seventh frame, before Bobby Mares pitched three scoreless innings to give the Lobos the title. House said the championship game setting against TCU was sensational. “It was extreme and one of the biggest adrenaline rushes I’ve ever had,” House said. “But we’re living large right now, and we had all the confidence in the world.” Birmingham said the team came together at the right time. “Good pitching stops good hitting any day,” Birmingham said. “Austin House is a symbol of what I want to do here. He is a New Mexico kid with much talent, but he needed the maturity and the time. The championship game, that day, was the Austin House coming out party. Man, was he fantastic.” It took three appearances in four years for Birmingham to guide the Lobos to a MWC tournament title — a goal of his when he was hired four years ago. And now he said it’s time to take the next step and reach the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. “I’m trying to keep them grounded and focused on the prize,” Birmingham said. “Let’s go to regionals and win regionals, don’t be happy that you got to regionals. We’re focused on the prize to win regionals and super regionals, because this whole thing is about going to Omaha.”

New Mexico Daily Lobo cause the bare walls just look terrible,” she said. “It’s part of how we believe the divine lives in this world — it’s through human creativity.” Melva Kellet, the chair of the Arts and Aesthetics Committee at the Church, said that the First Unitarian Church is intended to be inclusive, not exclusive — and that also extends to its painter group.
“The basis of the church is that we feel that the church does not need to tell you how to behave.” ~Melva Kellet Dylan Smith/ Daily Lobo At the First Unitarian Church, the choir performs during Sunday’s service in front of a mosaic of popular religious symbols.
Church vitalizes creative spirit by José M. Enríquez jenriq01@unm.edu
The First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque isn’t just a place for parishioners to profess their faith; the congregation’s walls are canvases for painters.
Church members Eleanor Bailey and Rod Groves conceived the Friday Painters Group in 1996, when they began painting together once a week and invited other artists to join. It became so popular that the group is now open on a space-available basis.
Senior Minister Rev. Christine Robinson said that the group is open to all artists who want to set up a table, paint and critique one another’s work. She said the church celebrates creativity. “These growing art displays are hugely important to us be-

including Christianity, Taoism, Hinduism, Judaism and Islam. Rev. Angela Herrera said the congregation takes pride in the art on its walls. “The mural that’s behind the pulpit which was put in the 1960s … is definitely one of our most sacred objects here at the church,” she said. On Sunday, the church will host an artist reception during their mini-Mercado, and people will get to talk to 18 artists exhibiting and selling small-scaled versions of their works. M.L. Newburn, a member of the church’s Arts and Aesthetics Committee, said that popular artists are featured at the gallery, but prices for their work are reasonable. “It’s done by mostly amateurs, members of the church, and we have to keep prices down,” Newburn said. “If we hung a picture for $1,000 you wouldn’t sell it.”
“The basis of the church is that we feel that the church does not need to tell you how to behave,” Kellet said. “They just need to tell you how to be your best self without rules laid on your back to adhere to. So it’s not theologically driven.” Inside the church is a large mosaic that features symbols from popular world religions,
