summer The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

Incoming president talks diversity, challenges Because he wasn’t available to talk to a reporter in person, The Daily Lobo conducted an interview via email with UNM President Robert Frank, who took office June 1. We discussed topics like ethnic studies, Athletics and media relations: Daily Lobo: What is the biggest challenge you face and how do you plan to face it? UNM President Robert Frank: My biggest challenge is finding a way to allow UNM to thrive and grow as a university, and to find a way to help students become so involved in their own education that they are willing to put in the effort it takes to succeed and graduate. DL: What changes can students expect to see this coming semester and within the next school year? RF: Students will not see great change at UNM in the fall semester. I am taking this opportunity to learn about the University and the community. At least one change students can expect in the spring semester is the opening of the Math Emporium in Centennial Library. That will be a place students taking Math 120 and 121 can go to get help and to practice math problems. It is crucial that we find a way to help more students succeed in our basic math courses.

DL: ASUNM President Caroline Muraida stressed a need for better communication between the administration and the student body. How will you increase communication and include the student voice in future decisions? RF: I will follow President Schmidly’s efforts to make the budget process as transparent as possible and to include student input in a significant way. I am also in the process of listening to student input. Any student can fill out my survey right now and begin to talk about what they want to see work better at UNM. DL: Former President Schmidly banned media presence at meetings between his office and (un)Occupy protesters. How will you improve UNM’s relationship with the media? RF: UNM has an excellent relationship with the individual media that cover us on a regular basis. I expect that to continue. DL: This summer UNM published the salary book online, but only about a year and a half after the first of three GPSA recommendations. How are you going to increase transparency? RF: The second phase of financial information will be placed on UNM’s Sunshine Portal as soon as we can alter our internal operating systems to allow a way to share that information.

It can take a long time to alter information technology systems so we can share the information easily. DL: The Athletics department is $1.5 million in debt and students will pay an additional $50 in student fees to fund Athletics next year. How will you ensure that student fees won’t continue to increase so drastically for any department? RF: I will work with the regents and all parts of the University community as we move through the budget process this year. DL: Arizona law HB 2281 shut down ethnic studies programs at K-12 schools across Arizona in 2010. How will you protect ethnic studies and diversity at UNM? RF: I am listening now to input about the importance of our ethnic studies programs. This is part of the information I am thinking about as we consider the future of UNM and how to make the most of our important programs. DL: There’s been concern about a “bottleneck effect” with advisement, and students have said that advising they receive has been inadequate and misleading. How will you improve the advisement practices at UNM? RF: We are continuing to hire advisers as we improve the advisement process. This is an area in

Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo UNM President Robert Frank will learn as much as possible about UNM through a student survey he created to better understand the University and those who attend it. Frank says one of his first goals is to improve students’ success in Math 120 and 121. which the provost is charting the course for improvement. DL: UNM’s six-year graduation rate is 45 percent, which is less than the national average of 55 percent. How do you plan to increase that rate? RF: The first major change students will see is the opening of the Math Emporium in spring 2013, but I am listening now to suggestions of ways to improve our graduation rate. Again, I invite all suggestions for improvement

Regents raise cost Youth camp overcomes cuts of health insurance by Avicra Luckey

Students who purchase health insurance from UNM will pay 22 percent more next year. At a June 12 Board of Regents meeting, regents approved the increase in health insurance costs. Health insurance premiums at UNM will increase by about $300, to about $1,700 annually, the Albuquerque Journal reported. The Journal also reported that about 2,000 students are covered by UNM’s insurance program.

New adult-care hospital

The Board of Regents unanimously approved a $146 million adult-care hospital. In a presentation at the meeting, Chief Executive Officer of UNM Hospitals Steve McKernan said the six-story, 96-bed hospital will be 185,000 square feet and will be located on the west end of the Health Sciences Center. He said the hospital will open in July 2014 pending approval from the New Mexico Higher Education Department and the State Board of Finance. McKernan said the additions are necessary because space limitations often cause the hospital to turn away patients, and the average emergency room wait time for an inpatient bed is

24 to 36 hours. “Frequently, we have to kick emergency room patients off the bed,” he said. “We’re in a situation where we can’t see patients as the statewide agreements … so many patients receive their care out-of-state.” In the presentation, McKernan said UNMH sees about 90,000 emergency patients a year and that the hospital runs at a 95 percent occupancy rate. He said the additional 96 beds will allow the hospital to use emergency hospital beds for emergency cases. According to the presentation, the hospital will include six operating rooms, radiology services, laboratory services, an inpatient pharmacy and respiratory therapy and support services. The project includes an additional 65,000 square foot building that will be built next door to the hospital to include an eye clinic and cardiovascular clinic. According to the presentation, contract negotiations have begun with Bradbury Stamm, a general building contractor company, as the construction manager at risk. The company will advise the University throughout the construction process and will allow the project to stay on schedule by reducing conflicts during construction.

Despite losing federal funding six years ago, A Healthy U at the U, a summer youth sports camp at UNM, has been able to sustain itself while helping Albuquerque kids stay in shape. Project Director Gary Sanchez said that when federal funding was still available, the program received about $92,000 from the government and was able to take the camp members on field trips and buy more equipment and supplies. He said the program’s budget is now about $60,000. Sanchez said that when the program was government-funded, guidelines stipulated that 90 percent of the youth participants had to come from economically disadvantaged families. He said this meant that many children attended for free. He said that because of the funding cuts, the program now uses a sliding scale to determine how much the program will cost each participant. He said the sliding scale takes family size and income into account to determine how much participants pay. Sanchez said the amount can vary from $10 to $200 to participate in the program. He said although funding is unstable, about 220 kids are participating in the program this summer. Sanchez said the program began 40 years ago as part of the National Youth Sports Program. He said UNM participated initially with 200 other college campuses, but with the loss of funding, the program has had to cut activities and has been forced to fundraise for itself.

Sanchez said the lack of funds is one of the hardest hits the program has taken. He said funding cuts forced the program to end bus programs to take children to and from campus. “Our numbers were very high, our average daily attendance was 385 kids,” he said. “As funding was cut, we had to make decisions and it slowly crept downwards on how much were able to fund each year, so the funding is considerably lower and we are not busing kids,” he said. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the percentage of obese children 6-11 years old increased from seven percent in 1980 to 20 percent in 2008. The CDC recommends healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and exercise as ways to prevent obesity in children as well as adults. Sanchez said that with childhood obesity rates climbing and “hostile eating environments,” in which Americans can eat whatever they want, whenever they want, programs like A Healthy U are important for Albuquerque children. Sanchez said that in the past, the program was based on physical activity and health education, but in more recent years they have added a science component to increase the diversity of the program. “We try to do a lot of different hands-on things,” he said. “We’ve had people from Sandia Labs the last two years come in and they’ve (talked) about nano science. We’ll also bring in a dentist to talk about the health of their teeth. This year we have people coming in and talking about ultraviolet rays and things with the skin.”

Highland High School teacher Meghan Pope will teach science at the camp this year. She said although there is no official curriculum, she teaches the children a wide array of science-related topics. “I just think it’s fun to expose the kids to all aspects of science,” she said. “We’ve done physics already, we’ve done a lot of health and anatomy, so we’re kind of just sparking their interests in all aspects of science.” Pope said the program provides more than just a way to keep kids busy during the summer — it creates activities that will teach children skills and information they can use for a lifetime. “What I want to do is be able to teach them something that they’re going to know for the rest of their lives,” she said. “I think that’s why this program is so important: because we’re teaching them how to be healthy and why it’s important to stay active.”

Linda McCormick, a pollution-prevention expert with a biochemistry degree from UC Berkeley, said recycling was not a priority at the University when she first became a resource conservation manager for the UNM Recycling Program in 2003. McCormick said she is proud to watch the program grow, and that UNM recycled 125,000 tons of material last year. McCormick said the recycling program includes eight staff members who pick up recyclable materials from all over campus every day. She said staff members separate the recyclable materials into different categories to put into bales, which are then sold to a range of recycling companies. She said the program helps the University save a lot of money on trash disposal. McCormick said the program utilizes a lot of unused items from other departments. She said the program reuses trash bins from Athletics, which adds a great component to the recycling program.

The UNM Recycling Program welcomes students, staff and faculty members to drop off recyclable trash at their location next to Tucker Avenue and Camino del Servicio on North Campus.

Recycling techs Steve Soisson (front) and Diana LaCour separate the plastic bottles into different grades for recycling at the recycling program facilities last Thursday. It takes three days to pack one bale (400 lbs) of plastic bottles.

No change in policy

The regents unanimously rejected a change to section 7.9 in the regentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy, which mandates that property management transactions be approved by the regents. Had it passed, the policy change would have allowed UNM corporations to make real estate purchases without regent approval. Regent Gene Gallegos said the policy change could allow large purchases to happen without regent oversight and without informing the public. According to the Albuquerque Journal, Health Sciences Center officials requested a change in the policy on behalf of the UNM Medical Group, a nonprofit corporation owned by the regents. The request was made to allow the group to purchase a $2.3 million building in Rio Rancho that the group would convert into a medical clinic. Although regents rejected the policy change, they approved purchasing the building.

Higher-education roundup Courtesy of the Associated Press

University of North Dakota no longer the “Fighting Sioux” FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota’s flagship university dropped its contentious Fighting Sioux nickname for the third time Thursday, and officials expressed hope that the latest retirement — fueled by this week’s overwhelming statewide vote — would finally stick. The move became official when the state Board of Higher Education voted to get rid of the University of North Dakota’s moniker and Indian head logo, which had sparked lawsuits and threats of NCAA sanctions. Residents cast ballots Tuesday in numbers not seen in a primary election for more than five decades, and more than two-thirds favored putting the decades-old dispute to rest by dumping the name. “It is time to move forward, and I think the voters, the citizens of North Dakota, gave us that permission,” UND President Robert Kelley said Thursday. “It’s my goal now to bring everyone back into the house.” While the move immediately retires the moniker used by UND athletic teams for more than 80 years, advocates for keeping it are circulating petitions to force another vote this November that would mandate the nickname under the state’s constitution. The nickname and American Indian head logo were first jettisoned in December 2010, after nickname supporters failed to meet an NCAA settlement agreement requiring approval from the state’s two namesake Sioux tribes. The school was given until Aug. 15, 2011, to stop using the moniker. The name was un-retired the first time in March 2011 after state lawmakers passed a bill requiring UND to use the logo. Legislative leaders passed out T-shirts that read “Fighting Sioux: It’s the law” and marched to Indianapolis to convince the NCAA to back off on threats of sanctions.

Alleged victims testify in Sandusky sex-abuse trial BELLEFONTE, Pa. — Three more accusers took the stand at Jerry Sandusky’s sex-abuse trial last Thursday, one of whom said the former Penn State assistant football coach called himself the “tickle monster” before embracing him in a shower and another who said he was forced into sex acts during more than a hundred nights he spent in the excoach’s home. A state investigator also testified that authorities heard about a key witness, assistant coach Mike McQueary, through an anonymous email to Centre County prosecutors. The investigator, Anthony Sassano, said authorities identified some of Jerry Sandusky’s alleged abuse victims through pictures and lists seized from his home and office and that the university was “not very quick” in getting investigators information as part of the probe.

A third alleged victim who testified Thursday said he loved Sandusky and that he viewed him as a father figure, but that he became angry with Sandusky because he never reached out to him after the witness moved away. The three alleged victims who testified Thursday brought to eight the number of accusers who took the stand over the trial’s first four days. Jurors also heard about two other alleged victims who have not been located by investigators. The ex-coach faces 52 criminal counts involving alleged assaults of 10 boys over a 15-year span. He denies the charges, which brought disgrace to Penn State and led to the ouster of both the school’s president and Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno. Sandusky’s attorney questioned accusers Thursday about connections they had with other alleged victims. The defense has claimed that the accusers have financial motives, but they’ve all denied that. After testimony ended Thursday, Judge John Cleland said court would resume on Monday.

College tuition rates continue to increase across country When those college tuition bills come in, be prepared for sticker shock. The average tuition at a four-year public university climbed 15 percent between 2008 and 2010, fueled by state budget cuts for higher education and increases of 40 percent and more at universities in states like Georgia, Arizona and California. The U.S. Department of Education’s annual look at college affordability also found significant price increases at the nation’s private universities, including at for-profit institutions, where the net price for some schools is now twice as high as Harvard. At Full Sail University, a film and art school in central Florida, the average price of tuition, fees, books, and other expenses totals $43,990, even when grants and scholarships are factored in. The average net price for an incoming Harvard student: $18,277, according to the department. Net price is cost of attendance minus grant and scholarship aid. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said students need to be smart consumers and states needs to do their part by making higher education a priority in their budgets. Forty percent of states cut higher education spending last year, the most important factor in tuition increases. “As a nation, we need more college graduates in order to stay competitive in the global economy,” Duncan said. “But if the costs keep on rising, especially at a time when family incomes are hurting, college will become increasingly unaffordable for the middle class.” Pennsylvania State University had the highest in-state tuition for a four-year public university at $15,250 during the 2010-11 school year. When the costs of room, board and other expenses are factored in, the total rises to $19,816, the fourth highest net price nationwide. Bill Mahon, a spokesman for the school, said a 19.6 percent cut in state funding last year, coupled with a decade of weak state support, “has left Penn State increasingly reliant on students and their families to fund most of the costs of their Penn State education.”

THIS WEEK’S POLL: Upper-level members of the UNM administration, including UNM President Robert Frank, are now participating in the academic coaching program Success Through the Academic Year (S.T.A.Y.). The program pairs coaches with incoming freshmen to help determine and meet student needs. What do you think about this program? If I had this kind of guidance when I was a freshman, I probably would not have dropped out of UNM. I think I would have had an easier time adjusting to college life if I’d participated in a program like this. The program fails to address issues not directly related to academic support and therefore will probably be ineffective at retaining students past their freshman year. I’m an incoming freshman and hope I’m selected to participate.

Schmidly did some good and Frank will do more Editor, This letter is in response to a reaction to an op-ed column I wrote, “Optimism for Changing of the Guard at UNM,” published in the May 27 issue of the Albuquerque Journal, by which an “Albuquerque resident” seems horrified. The gist of my response is to reiterate optimism for our discourse paradigm and it is fitting to do so in the Daily Lobo. The resident reacted online as follows: “This guy’s belief that Schmidly’s tenure ‘sensitized deans and department chairs to hire more minority faculty and enhance diversity’ and that it ‘ended on a positive note’ makes it plain that the damage done by Schmidly is deeper than most of us realized. How can Frank, or any incoming UNM president, bring

LETTERS N.Y. soda ban uses force to curtail private rights Editor, The debate incited by Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to outlaw supersized sodas in New York misses an important point. In the mayor’s words, “We’re not taking away anybody’s right to do things. We’re simply forcing you to understand that you have to make the conscious decision to go from one cup to another cup.” There it is. He wants to forcibly interfere with other people in order to achieve his objective. (Contrary to what he says, however, he wouldn’t be forcing New Yorkers to understand something — is that possible? Rather, he’d be forcing them not to buy and sell something.) In light of this, the ensuing debate has overlooked something we all should have learned as kids: the end doesn’t justify the means. Didn’t Bloomberg’s parents teach him that when he was a child? Lots of objections are raised against Bloomberg’s policy. For example, it unfairly and arbitrarily singles out one kind of beverage (“milk-based” drinks like cappuccinos are exempt, as are fruit juices — which are loaded with sugar) and the plan would likely have no measurable effect on obesity. But there’s something more fundamental: How dare the mayor propose to use force against peaceful individuals? The end doesn’t justify the means.

Let’s grant Bloomberg his premise that if customers in restaurants can have sugared sodas in quantities no larger than 16 ounces at a time, requiring them to go to the trouble of requesting refills, they will drink less and lose weight. How does that justify using the force of the state against those who want to buy and sell larger quantities? Let’s be clear about what the policy entails. Violators (presumably the eateries) will be fined. What if a restaurateur refuses to pay the fine? Armed officers of the government will attempt to take the money from him. If he resists, those officers will be prepared to use violence to impose the penalty. Imprisonment, bodily harm and even death could be the result. All this for selling a soda larger than 16 ounces. That seems rather severe for an “offense” that is nothing more than a peaceful, voluntary transaction. According to the Western liberal philosophy of the free society, force may be used only in defense of innocent life or to rectify a wrong committed by force or fraud. Violent interference with peaceful, consensual acts of buying and selling clearly falls outside that line. The philosophy regards the individual as sovereign; each person is to be free to do what she wants so long as she does not violate other people’s freedom to do the same. This is the theory of rights embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Of course, governments have violated this principle in a variety of ways over the decades. During Prohibition, people couldn’t buy and sell liquor. Under the so-

called war on drugs, people can’t buy certain substances, regardless of how responsibly they may use them. And now if Bloomberg gets his way, people will not be allowed to buy and sell sugared sodas in cups larger than 16 ounces, because some other people think having that freedom is bad for the buyers’ health. Obviously, once that step is accepted as legitimate, there is no reason why free refills or large drinks in convenience stores shouldn’t also be outlawed. Yes, the advocates of such violations of freedom always have “good reasons.” Today, health is the top-ranking reason for government interference. People who would never put up with such intrusions in the name of morality will readily do so in the name of good health. But when it comes to the use of aggressive force, good reasons don’t matter. The end doesn’t justify the means. This is so basic to commonsense morality that it shouldn’t have to be explained. It is not enough that a means can accomplish an end. It must satisfy other moral criteria as well. If five lives could be saved by killing one person and harvesting his organs, would that make it right? Of course not, and it wouldn’t matter who was doing the killing, a private individual or a government bureaucrat. Force may be used only to meet aggressive force. Shame on you, Mayor Bloomberg. You should have listened to your parents.

any sense of reality or proportion to a place so comprehensively divorced from the real world? Heaven help UNM.” That is all he or she wrote, unsubstantiated. The resident reacted to my op-ed as if he or she is a campus guru of UNM’s inner workings, but offers no evidence of permanent damage that Schmidly caused, begging the question, “Where is the beef?” To say that my op-ed represents a deep loss of sense of reality and proportion that Schmidly brought to UNM and imply that I was somehow under Schmidly’s “spell” is erroneous, to put it kindly. For the resident’s information, I was not in Dr. Schmidly’s corner when he was a candidate for president because I had a “horse” in the race: Herman Lujan, my former graduate adviser and mentor. I first met Schmidly at his interview forum, and again two other times that he met with black faculty and staff. I appreciated his gesture

to make time and speak to us, but was not brainwashed or bamboozled, as the resident’s reaction implies. The resident also stated that “(UNM) is comprehensively divorced from the real world” and wished “heaven help UNM.” This assertion is hopelessly pessimistic and void of value. The fearmongers need to come to grips with the objective truth that the institution and place we know as UNM is intact and operational within its physical and social realities. If correctly read, my op-ed stressed the positive, but did not absolve Schmidly from criticism. His mistakes, I would argue, could not have been intended to cause UNM irreparable harm, which, if true, means he must have had the cooperation of the “watch dogs,” which is not true of the Faculty Senate, at least. Contrary to the resident’s gloomy opinion, Frank will find that Schmidly did some good to which he can add more good. In fact, he is

already adopting of one of Schmidly’s legacies: the president’s weekly bulletin. According to the June 3 issue of the Albuquerque Journal, Dr. Frank is a goaloriented and compassionate individual, evidenced by his dedication of a section of his Ph.D. dissertation to his laboratory animal, which died before the experiment was completed. We are told that he voluntarily settled for a salary $100,000 less than that of his predecessor. While I advocate for optimism, it would be disingenuous of me to say I am UNM’s ultimate optimist. Frank is here for the Lobos, and the tidbits above spell optimism and suggest that he would have compassion for critters on campus and empathy for students, faculty, staff, Lobo fans and the citizens of New Mexico.

Jumpers to contend for spots on Olympic team by Mundo Carrillo

sports@dailylobo.com For two UNM jumpers, the road to London goes through Eugene, Ore. Junior long jumper Kendall Spencer and senior triple jumper Floyd Ross are going to the Olympic trials in Eugene from June 22 to July 1 to try to qualify for the U.S. team in the upcoming summer games. The jumpers are not the only UNM track and field athletes hoping to compete in the Olympics; junior high jumper Django Lovett is trying to represent Canada, while senior middle-distance runners Ross Millington and Sam Evans, senior steeplechaser Imogen Ainsworth and recent graduate Sarah Waldron are trying to represent their native England. Ross, who sleeps in his uniform the night before a competition, said he is not changing his strategy or intensifying his training to make the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to change up what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing to get me here right now,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to keep it the same.â&#x20AC;? He did, however, change his diet from fast food to salads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Mickey Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of guy, but lately Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed that eating well has helped me out a lot,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. Spencer, who is last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA Division I Indoor long jump champion, said getting mentally prepared for the Olympic trials is the hardest part about training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mental game is a huge part of trying to make the Olympic team,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pray a lot. My church family really keeps me grounded, and I try to keep a lot of

positive people around me.â&#x20AC;? In order for Spencer to make the U.S. Olympic team, he has to jump about 27 feet, which is a bit farther than his personal best of 24 feet, 8.25 inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as he comes out and does what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to do, he has a very good shot of making the team,â&#x20AC;? said UNM horizontal jumps coach Austin Brobst, who is working with Ross and Spencer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He still has to jump about seven centimeters further for the U.S. to take him, but I believe he has it in him.â&#x20AC;? UNM is paying for the athletes to travel to Eugene. Spencer said the support of the University and community means a lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a support system is a huge part of being successful,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get letters, phone calls and text messages from people that are really supportive.â&#x20AC;? After he won the indoor long jump championship last year, Spencer received a slew of supportive text messages from family and friends and said he will use those as motivation at the Olympic trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saved all those text messages so when I go to the trials and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to get focused, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just go back and read them all,â&#x20AC;? he said. Off the track, both men are successful scholars. Ross aspires to be a sports reporter and said all the hard work he put on the track will help him be successful in a professional career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being an athlete, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slack off,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slack off in anything you do. Just go hard or go home.â&#x20AC;? Spencer, on the other hand, plans to get a Ph.D. in counseling psychology. He works with children who have autism and strives to

make the deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list every semester. He said he works just as hard in the classroom as he does on the track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people just see me as the track athlete, but people who have been around me know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more to me than that,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that I do on the track is complemented by things that I do in the classroom.â&#x20AC;? Spencer said he does not want to be the kind of athlete who only cares about himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things I promised myself was that I was going to be one of those athletes that was always approachable, kept a good head on his shoulders and had an all-around good character,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to leave a positive mark on the world.â&#x20AC;?

Pub’s quiz game garners a geeky following by Nicole Perez

nicole11@unm.edu

Twenty-first century nerds crawl out of their Dungeons and Dragons games and hit the town at Geeks Who Drink. “Geeky stuff is better with a drink in your hand,” said Albuquerque Quizmaster Eric Kohen. “Star Wars and a

glass of scotch, and I’m set.” Geeks Who Drink is a pub quiz game in which participants answer questions on everything from string theory to Britney Spears to U.S. history — do you know what Veterans Day used to be called? Kohen said it offers something different from Albuquerque’s club scene. “I did that, I was 20 and got wasted

Rebecca Hampton / Daily Lobo Geeks who Drink announcer Kent Wilhelmi conducts the event at O’Neill’s Pub and Restaurant on May 27. Geeks who Drink is a pub quiz show played at bars in Albuquerque and beyond, and has expanded into 21 states.

with frat guys Downtown,” Kohen said. “Trust me, I’ve thrown up all over Downtown Albuquerque, but I don’t want to do that anymore. I want to go have a drink, I want to have a relaxing evening where I’m not surrounded by a bunch of crazy drunkards or clubbers, and I think that’s what a lot of our crowd is.” Kohen said Geeks Who Drink appeals mainly to the “young urban professional,” but that all types of people participate. Some are in suits and ties, one man wears a shirt that says “party with sluts” and a 16-yearold drinks water as he plays with his parents. Participants can form teams of up to six people, and the game has eight rounds of questions including a visual round and a music round. “We definitely have the group of socially awkward nerds who bumble and can’t look you in the eye,” he said. “And then we have people who are drunk frat partiers and everything in between.” Tammy DiDio said she and her friends play Geeks Who Drink every Sunday night at O’Neill’s Irish Pub in Nob Hill. She said they specifically design their team to be as effective as possible. Their team consisted of a dessert entrepreneur, a UNM adjunct physics professor, a journalist, a screenwriter, a woman with a master’s degree in psychology and a 16-year-old boy. “We’re here just for the occasional

she was a quiz player, and they even played Geeks Who Drink at their wedding dinner. He said he loves to make people laugh, and a group of graduate students once told him that he gave them a reason to hang out and become friends. “During the day, I help run business,” he said. “It’s boring, and it’s entering things into spreadsheets, and I’m like ‘God I hate this job.’ By the end of the night, I’m like ‘This is why I do it.’ I mean, even the hecklers are kind of fun.” In case you hadn’t already lost all faith in the Daily Lobo, a team of staffers came in second to last in a pool of about 25 teams.

trivia question from the ‘60s, but otherwise we’re not helpful,” said Tony Delaflora, DiDio’s teammate. “We decided we had to have younger people. That’s our big hole.” Kohen said the questions are carefully written for maximum entertainment as well as level of difficulty — they can’t be too hard or too easy. “It’s no fun asking trivial pursuit type questions,” he said. “They’re boring, dry and make people feel bad. If we had 64 questions that nobody knows the answers to, all it does is inflate our ego.” Kohen said one of the questions Geeks Who Drink creators asked when they hired him was ‘Are you more geek or drink?’ He said at the time he was torn between the two, but he thinks alcohol makes it more fun. “I think you always have to have at least one semisober person on your team before you’re just like, ‘Rawr, I don’t care anymore,’” he said. Kohen said participants rarely get rowdy, but when they do, he knows how to handle it. The most common type of disruption is when people yell the answers out loud. “I usually call them things that you can’t print in the Daily Lobo,” he said. “If they keep doing it, the nice thing to say is ‘Someone get my dad a drink’ or ‘Sorry your craigslist date didn’t work out.’” Kohen said he met his wife while

theater review

Glut of ghosts, poor delivery doom play by Graham Gentz gbgentz@unm.edu

Melodrama is more commonly funny than dramatic. It brings to mind hero-wielding butt-chins of power saving virginal maidens from crooning villains’ operatic mustaches. When it’s serious and not at all funny, it involves death, sex and lots of yelling. But it’s impossible to not be just a little funny. Richard III is not exactly the subtlest of Shakespeare’s plays to begin with, and the direction by Peter Kierst in the Vortex’s production pushes the envelope that much more. The role of Richard is a long soughtafter and much-parodied role by actors and the theatrical tradition. Much like Hamlet, it can be a defining role for an actor’s career. Richard’s physical deformity, often coming in the form of a hunchback, is ripe for the manner of hamming that Shakespearean actors get so unfortunately known for. Richard is a crippled yet highborn noble who manipulates the politics of his royal court to be the last brother standing and become king. This comes mostly in the form of murdering lots and lots of people, including — but not limited to — a baby, who Richard snuffs personally. Richard’s destruction of his country for the sake of an aggressive power grab has been reset in the violence of Bosnia in the early ‘90s — events just recent enough to still sting and with plenty of visual similarities to Ralph Fiennes’ recent film adaptation of Coriolanus — though the play adds some excellent tech gimmicks. Obviously, the bodies are piling up for Richard, which is where the major deviations from the original script occur. Just before Richard’s ultimate and rather inevitable crash and burn, the ghosts of his victims pay him a visit. The scene sticks out and raises questions that perhaps it shouldn’t: why does Richard suddenly seem to care about the human objects of his naked brutality and unrelenting cruelty? A simple answer might just be that ghosts are cool. Shakespeare used the suddenly-on-the-eve-of-battle-

ANY DAY

ghosts-appear device more than once. But now the ghosts are everywhere. Any time that Richard might be thinking about ghosts, there are ghosts. One already macabre character who is not actually a ghost is retroactively made a ghost, but this choice is an excellent one. This is thanks to Augusta AllenJones playing her wickedly nasty undead bruja as one for the ages. For a play about power plays, out of the entire cast it is Allen-Jones who truly exudes power. The Vortex should go the whole hog and make the entire cast ghosts and rename the play “The Ghost of Queen Margaret of Lancaster III.” It’s too much. The attempt is made to connect to Richard’s ghosts in a more human and meaningful way. But really, the result is a continued flogging of a ghost horse after its actual beating was enough already. In the combat of melodrama, there is a fine line between a performance that is powerful and one that is ridiculous. In Shakespeare, this is doubly dangerous. His plays have a reputation for being pretentious and inaccessible, and the delivery of Shakespeare’s language is very important, so that words are articulate wit and not limp poetry. However, with the play’s many stiff deliveries, the occasional British accent or sassily swaggering solider, the play as a whole is showily dramatic, except for Peter Diseth. To say that Diseth is a natural is an understatement. He possesses a calm control of cadence and movement, and his tonal choices are refined in their sincerity. Chad Brummet’s Richard is a performance that is both thunderously thespian — including some creepy molestation and kissing assaults — and calculatedly composed. The meaning and relatable emotion of Brummet’s speeches get lost in his taut tone, though Brummet’s considerable talent is obvious enough. “Chop off his head, man,” Brummet said with the cadence of a surfer. This single line, which elicited giggles from the audience, spoke to the delivery of the whole production’s use of language: as memorized poems instead of living words.

Acro-Cats exhibits talented felines by Antonio Sanchez

sanchezantonio24@gmail.com The performers walk across high wires, ride skateboards, repel from heights and even perform in their own touring band — and they’re all cats. The Acro-Cats is a traveling circus of orphaned cats that performs throughout the country. The cat circus is backed by the Rock Cats, a cat-only rock band lead by Tuna, who ringleader Samantha Martin said helped spark the initial idea of the AcroCats. Martin said that 10 years ago, she noticed her newly adopted cat Tuna learned tricks with ease. Martin said she trains her cats by paying attention to each feline’s general interests. If one of her cats likes to jump around and climb, Martin said she would teach it how to jump up a prop staircase or leap from one point to another. Martin said her love of training animals and her past experience with another show called the Acro-Rats inspired her to adopt more cats and begin the Acro-Cats. Although the group is very accomplished, Martin said there are still hitches sometimes. She said each show reminds her that her felines are cats first and performers second. “There’s so many variables: you never know what could happen or

CAMPUS EXHIBITS

what to expect, and I’ve found that people love it, whether the cats do great or just completely diss me, come out and groom,” she said. “It’s really all on the cats’ terms, you can’t force them.” Martin said that because the outcome of the show differs from night to night, she has learned to let the cats do what they want without worrying. “It’s supposed to be fun for the cats, it’s supposed to be fun for us and the audience, so we’ve just kind of adopted this philosophy of ‘just go with the flow and just keep smiling no matter what happens,’” she said. Owner of The Cell theater Dennis Gromelski said he invited the Acro-Cats to perform for their second time this year due to the show’s popularity. The act sold out 14 shows in a row when Martin visited in January. “Whenever anyone sees it, particularly whenever someone has a cat and when they see what these cats are able to do, it completely shocks them,” Gromelski said. “I can’t even train my cat to do anything — I didn’t know cats were trainable.” Martin said she fell in love with training animals when she learned how to train her dog at age 10. “Everybody is born with some sort of gift; whether it’s the arts or music, it’s their gift, and I was fortunate to discover mine when I

Martin’s feline performers are all orphaned and rescued cats, and Martin said she is devoted to helping out cats in need. Martin said she adopts and trains kittens throughout their tour, searching for the next cat to join the group’s lineup. The kittens that don’t make the cut for the troupe are put up for adoption at the end of each touring cycle. Martin said a total of 87 kittens have been

She said the skills she teaches them make the kittens even more lovable. “I’ve adopted out kittens that I’ve taught to play the piano,” she said. “Do you think that person will ever get rid of their cat that plays the piano any time they come home?

Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

Knowledge is the best key Capricorn—If the past couple of

weeks have felt unjustly chaotic for you, take comfort in knowing you’re not the only one. The new moon this week means the start of a clearer phase in which you adeptly tend to housekeeping matters. The increasing Cancerian influence in the next month prompts everyone to do so as the sign rules the domestic sphere. Be wary of neglecting work and career matters. Aquarius—Upsets and misunderstandings are likely to plague your romantic life until the end of the month. Rather than funneling more and more energy into it like water through a colander, try your luck with something more productive. Your ability to troubleshoot problems in your daily routine and lifestyle is growing strong, so fly with that force and clear out the cobwebs keeping you from realizing your dreams. Pisces—You’re in dire need of a recovery period, and this is the week for you to take the time to do so. You and everyone around you have been tumbling like flakes in a snow globe, leaving you particularly disconnected from “reality.” Look to friends with sunnier attitudes and warm hearts to keep your perspective out of the gloom. Rebuilding your spirit is in order and the increasing Cancerian influence will do the trick just fine. Aries—If you have the means, you should seriously consider a getaway and not merely a pleasure cruise. The next couple of weeks should be rife with learning opportunities, and it would be very wise for you to take advantage of each one. This is not limited to academia, as you can learn a lot from social confrontations and observing relationship dynamics. Don’t take this time for granted; you’ll need these insights later in the year.

Taurus—By mid-week, any financial trouble you’ve been losing sleep over will be leaps closer to being resolved. However, it will require you to knuckle down and be as resourceful as possible. Although you’ve taken your lavish spending habits down a notch, you’ve still got a few bad ones you cling to in the name of needing at least a couple of vices. Cut the cord; it will only take a month to realize the freedom you’ll gain from doing so. Gemini—You’re coming to the end of a yearlong struggle. While you’ve been busy working your tail off trying to advance areas of your life that almost refuse to budge, the cosmos has been drumming up the apt reward for your efforts. Look forward to a surge in positive feedback, mostly from those you know, but also from the public sphere. You can afford to coast now; milk it for all it’s worth. Cancer—You’re a devoted partner in all relationships — romantic, platonic or otherwise. Over the past year, you’ve been trying to give as much attention to a personal project or developing career path. Now you’re at a crossroads at which you must decide which part of your life will get more attention. Consider how much these relationships mean to you if the people hold against you any desire to focus more on work. Leo—After a chilly spring, your love life should be surging with vitality these days. If not, you might examine the insecurities that are holding you back from accepting or giving love. Either way, this is a good time for exploration, figuring out what works for you in a relationship and what you’d rather do without. Mine the social sphere for relationships that boost you, but remember there must be reciprocation.

Virgo—Are

you wondering where all your friends have been the last couple of weeks? Don’t take it personally; the social atmosphere has been particularly flaky and flighty. You haven’t completely left the turbulent zone, so expect commitments to fall through. However, important meetings relevant to your career are coming up, so be sure to confirm and reconfirm those kinds of appointments. Libra—After lengthy delays, get ready for a swift takeoff. Domestic disputes and housing arrangements form a heavy cloud that threatens to keep you grounded even longer, but by next week that should all be taken care of. Avoid commitments until July, even holding them off until August would be beneficial. Keep your thoughts optimistic; everything will work out, it’s only a matter of time. Scorpio—A tempting financial investment calls to you, sirenlike in its allure. Take the fact that you see no potential pitfalls in this as a red flag indicating danger down the road. Think carefully before you make commitments of any kind, although your personal life is certain to spice up. By the end of July, you should have a new network, maybe small, but surely the beginning of an exciting collaboration. Sagittarius—If you’re not already in financial hot water, understand that the potential is there and ready for you to slip up. It doesn’t have to be a drag spending as little as possible, but it sure feels like it, and to comfort yourself you’ll be tempted to treat yourself on a daily basis. Keep plenty of company for distraction, and by the end of July, you’ll have built up the resistance skills you need for a lifetime of thriftiness.
