Affordable Care Act impacts student premiums by Svetlana Ozden

UNM off icials, students weigh in on Supreme Court ruling that deems act constitutional

sozden@unm.edu

Students who purchase UNM health insurance will bear the cost of increased coverage requirements mandated by President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. On June 28, the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, a policy passed in March that aims to provide more affordable health care to U.S. citizens. According to the act, health insurance companies can no longer discriminate against people

with pre-existing conditions, will cover the costs of preventative care, such as birth control and mammograms, and will allow students to stay on their parents’ insurance policies until they are 26 years old. At a June 7 meeting, the Board of Regents approved a 22 percent increase in health insurance premium costs and said the hike will ensure that UNM health insurance policies meet the requirements of the new act and pay for the increased coverage insurers must provide. With the approved increase, insurance premiums at UNM

will increase by about $300, to about $1,700 annually. GPSA President Marisa Silva said that despite the increased insurance costs, students will benefit from the act. She said the act will allow many students to stay on their parents’ insurance policies while they’re in school. “Anyone with a medical condition suddenly is able to have coverage, and easing that burden might allow students access to an education,” she said. “I think that it’s going to be a positive thing for most students and it’s a boon to the entire public to not

is unsure whether she is in favor of adopting an expansion program in New Mexico. Young adults can stay on their parents’ health plans until they reach the age of 26, unless they’re already covered through their jobs and their parents’ health plans predate Sept. 23, 2010. Beginning in 2014, insurance companies will no longer be able to deny patients coverage for having pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies will provide coverage for free preventative health care, such as mammograms, wellness visits for seniors, vaccinations, colonoscopies and free birth control. Insurance companies must apply 80 percent of premiums to medical care and quality costs or rebate the

uses technology. He said the University is expected to grow and expand, and will have to determine how to best use technology to better make a connection between students and the University. “As we reinvent the University, we will face the challenges from legislators and business communities to have more people be educated,” he said. “The challenge that we have rests … in what we can do to create these new education models, enhance the quality of our student experience, and to make sure that we use it as an engagement tool to make students feel part of the University.”

Medicaid. The federal government would fund 100 percent of expansion costs until 2020, at which time each state would have to pay for 10 percent of the costs. The percentage that states have to pay could continue to rise in the future. A spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez said she has yet to decide whether to expand the state’s Medicaid program, but told the San Francisco Chronicle Martinez will “proceed in a manner that best protects the safety net for the most vulnerable New Mexicans in a responsible and sustainable manner.”

FROM THE WEB

Highlights of the Supreme Court ruling and the Affordable Care Act: The act aims to ensure health care costs stay low, promote preventative care and hold insurance companies accountable. Beginning in 2014, people who do not purchase health insurance but are financially able to do so will be subject to a tax. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of this portion in the bill as part of last week’s ruling. The Supreme Court ruled the federal government cannot impose penalties on states that choose not to expand their Medicaid programs. As outlined in the act, the expansions for each state would be covered by federal dollars until 2020, at which point states would have to start paying 10 percent of expansion costs. Gov. Susana Martinez has said she

have to deal with insurance that can turn you away.” New Mexico has the secondhighest uninsured rate in the nation: roughly 21 percent of New Mexico’s 2.1 million residents are uninsured. The federal government picks up 70 percent of New Mexico’s tab for Medicaid, a government program that provides care to many of those uninsured residents. The Supreme Court decision ruled the federal government could not penalize individual states for not accepting federal dollars to expand their

portion of premium costs that exceed the limit. Medicare-covered benefits will no longer be reduced or eliminated, including the right to choose your doctor. Insurance policies must meet minimum health coverage standards, which may drive the cost of insurance plans up. The UNM Board of Regents approved a 22 percent increase in student health insurance premium costs on June 7, and said the increase is in part due to the regulations outlined in the Affordable Care Act. Insurance policies are no longer required to cover abortion costs. By 2014, insurance companies will no longer be able to impose annual caps on coverage.

We asked students what they thought of the Affordable Care Act on the Daily Lobo’s Facebook page. “It sets a scary precedent. Mandating that we not only have health insurance, and then taxing us for not being able to afford it. While a solution is necessary, this is not it.” — Joshua Huggins “It is a step in the right direction. This isn’t the health care bill we need in our country but we are getting there.” — Molly Austin Rice “This ‘buy health insurance or get taxed’ strong arm game is going to cripple small business. I guess the [U.S. Government] really does want to extinguish the American Dream.” — Chris Pius Forehand

Frank: technology will reduce isolation sozden@unm.edu

Freshmen who don’t return to UNM for their sophomore year often report they felt a lack of connection with the University. At Technology Days 2012, a twoday annual conference about the technology advancements at UNM, University President Robert Frank said that technology is another way the University will improve retention rates. He said improving technology use on campus will allow students to feel more engaged with the University. According to the Enrollment Management Division, students reported feelings of isolation and the impersonal attitudes of the University as two of the reasons students do not return for their sophomore year. According to the division, about 26 percent of students didn’t return for a third semester. “We think that technology is another way that we will create one of those anchors that pulls students into the University that makes them part of us,” he said. “It makes it harder for them to leave the University and makes it more likely for them to graduate in the future.” He said that part of the UNM 2020 plan will reflect how the University

Where’s My Bus Information Technologies Manager Richard Valdez said Where’s My Bus is a program that allows users to track bus locations throughout Albuquerque. He said the program is a collaborative effort between UNM IT, Parking and Transportation Services and the city of Albuquerque Open Data Project, an initiative to increase public access to public city data.

Valdez said UNM IT created an online application that includes city bus and UNM bus route information and can be used on a computer or portable device such as a smartphone. He said the city and PATS will fit UNM shuttles with GPS tracking units that will allow the application to track bus locations while en route.

Group hopes to ease traffic congestion near UNM by Avicra Luckey

avicraluckey@gmail.com About 45 percent of UNM students ride a bike, walk or use public transportation to travel to and from school every day. According to officials from the Mid-Region Council of Governments (MRCOG), about 74,000 people travel through the UNM and CNM area every day. Officials said the amount of travel within the area has increased traffic congestion. At a kickoff meeting on June 25, MRCOG officials said that over the next 12-15 months, MRCOG will conduct a study to find a solution for the traffic problems around the University area. Officials said the study will first focus on the area between Menaul Boulevard and the Albuquerque International

Sunport and from I-25 to Girard Boulevard. Special project manager at MRCOG Tony Sylvester said the main goal of the study is to identify where the problems lie and find solutions to reduce congestion. “We know students have different transportation needs than residents, faculty and staff have different transportation needs than people going to the airport,” he said. “One of the things we’re going to try to do is identify a strategy for addressing some of these transportation needs.” Initial results of the study found that while UNM Parking and Transportation Services transports 7,000-10,000 people per day with shuttles from offcampus parking areas and campuses to main campus, some of the routes overlap with ABQ RIDE routes.

During the meeting, Sylvester said initial findings in the study indicate a lapse in ABQ RIDE services when the buses travel north and southbound routes in the University area. He said neighborhood associations have also expressed a need for more bicycle paths and walkways. UNM student Cecilia McKinnon said although she has access to a vehicle, she prefers to ride the bus because she enjoys the quick, convenient public transit service in the area. “It’s free for students, which is great,” she said. “I just feel like it’s kind of unnecessary to drive most of the places that I’m going because I usually hang out around this area or Downtown.” A partnership with ABQ RIDE, the University and CNM allows both CNM and UNM students, faculty

members and staff to use ABQ RIDE buses for free, but McKinnon said she isn’t able to use public transit to get very far anywhere else in the city. “The bus isn’t ideal in a lot of ways just because … Albuquerque’s a really big city and the bus system isn’t the most comprehensive here, so it is hard to get around other places,” she said. “But in general it works for me.” Officials said the study will assess how roads are used in the University area and how congestion can be eliminated or reduced. They said the study will focus specifically on if and how buses, bike lanes and University shuttles can be altered to work more cohesively. Sylvester said the study will seek input from community members through surveys and focus groups,

and will hold various community meetings with stakeholders in the area to get feedback. Stakeholders include businesses, residents and students. MRCOG Project Manager Chris Blewett said the study is funded by about $881,000 in grants from the federal government. He said the study should result in solutions as well as more funding to implement the solutions. “If we do a good job in coming up with a solution, it results in smarter parking policies, better transit service through this area (and) better development patterns through this area,” he said. “We think this is a golden opportunity not to solve every problem in the world or even in this part of the city, but really to take advantage of and resolve a lot of the long-standing issues.”

Aguirre said the program aims to alleviate stress that students who transfer from CNM to UNM might experience during the transfer process. She said the program will allow CNM students to better understand the requirements they must meet for a bachelor’s degree in STEM fields and make better use of their time at CNM. “The goal is to get them to leave CNM ready to go directly into their program so they do not spend time anywhere else,” she said. “In the past, all of their courses would transfer over because that’s the state law; however, just because it transfers it doesn’t mean it’s going to give you any momentum to completion of a (Bachelor’s of Science).” Aguirre said the program is also an effort to increase retention and graduation rates. “We’re trying to increase enrollment, we’re trying to increase retention from the first year to the second year at both institutions and graduation rates, which means associate’s degrees and bachelor’s degrees,” she said.

Aguirre said the program has a STEM adviser at CNM and intends to hire another. She said an adviser will also be available at UNM to receive the transfer students and advise them once they have transferred. “Our advisers have a really high (student-to-adviser) ratio and they’re seeing a lot of students,” she said. “Adding another adviser in there just to pitch in and say ‘ok well I’ll focus on the STEM students’ will hopefully contribute to a better advising experience overall for all students,” she said. This adviser will be available at the new Transfer Center opening in October. The Transfer Center will be housed in Mesa Vista Hall within the College Enrichment and Outreach Programs’ offices. Aguirre said the program will target Hispanic and low-income students, but that the advisement services will be available to all students in STEM fields. “The focus on Hispanic is important because that is the largest growing population and it needs to be the fastest growing educated in

STEM fields as well,” she said. The program will target these students by visiting various STEM classrooms at CNM a total of 800 times in a semester to inform students interested in STEM degrees about the program, she said. Additionally, STEM topic workshops at CNM will be offered to students by professional tutors who are active in the target demographics. Aguirre said the initiative will first offer transfer services for biology majors, because most STEM field students major in biology. She said that in the future, STEM UP will include services for engineering, chemistry, physics, nutrition, environmental science and planetary sciences. Aguirre said the program includes a data-sharing agreement between both institutions to track the success of students and the initiative. She said it will also offer peer mentors to students who feel they need more support. UNM student Cesar Octavio Silva said he will be one of the peer mentors and will visit CNM to inform students about the program.

“We’re going to be having walkabout where we talk a group of 10 to 15 students on small campus tours where we can show them exactly where the departments are that they’re interested in and that pertain to their majors,” he said. Silva said STEM UP would have helped him when he transferred into the engineering department at UNM. He said he was unfamiliar with the University’s advisement policies, which confused him when he transferred from CNM. “I ran into some trouble transferring over with the consortium agreement and with academic holds that I had no prior experience with,” he said. “I think that this program is going to help smooth out some of those obstacles.”

UNM, CNM collaborate on STEM advisement by Avicra Luckey

avicraluckey@gmail.com

A $3.4 million grant will fund additional advisement at UNM and CNM for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors. Director of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Undergraduate Pathway (STEM UP) Carolina Aguirre said the STEM UP program will increase advisement to students in STEM fields. She said the institutions received the grant from federal Title V funds last October and have been working since then to organize the program. Associate Provost for Curriculum Gregory Heileman said STEM field degrees are becoming a top priority as fewer and fewer Americans graduate with degrees in STEM fields. “President Obama is really pushing this, so there is a lot of funding available, because the United States does not produce enough people in the science and engineering fields to fill the jobs we have and it’s incredibly deficient,” he said. “It’s something like 50,000 short of what we need annually.”

sanchezantonio24@gmail.com “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed last September, gay marriage is legal in six states and Ellen DeGeneres became the face of JCPenney — even Bill O’Reilly stood up for her. But opponents of the LGBTQ community were still out waving signs in protest at the Albuquerque Gay Pride Parade on Saturday. The Albuquerque Pride Parade celebrated the LGBTQ community with floats and rainbows galore, but opponents of the community shared their opinions as well. A group of protesters marched at the end of the parade carrying signs with slogans such as “God hates homos,” while bystanders booed and threw candy at them. Pride bystander Alyssa Anasazi, who was attending in support of her gay friends, said the protesters

bothered her. “If you don’t support, then don’t come out, but don’t come just to bash them,” she said. “I just think, who are we to judge, who is anyone else to judge?” Bystander Nikkita Olonovich said she didn’t support the opinions of the protesters, but said they have a right to express their opinions under the First Amendment. She said she served in the military in the Middle East and heard many people bashing the military, and in turn bashing her, but she thinks they have the right to do that. “The same way I fight for people’s right to burn the flag, to say f*** America, they have the right to say f*** fags, f*** queers, f*** gays; that’s their right,” she said. “We might not appreciate what they’re putting out in the parade, but hopefully just them being exposed to the positivity around them and the way that nobody got violent or got hurt: that shows a lot

more than them not being allowed in the parade.” The Albuquerque Pride Parade marked the beginning of the daylong PrideFest, a celebration of the oldest and newest members of the city’s LGBTQ community. The parade first began its march along Central in 1976 and has grown in popularity since, gathering fans new and old to the festivities. Air Force pilot Chris Stewart said it was his first Pride Parade; he came out this year, shortly after the nationwide repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” “It was a huge relief. I was going to come out to some, regardless, but now I don’t have to worry about job security,” Stewart said. “In this economy, that’s a big deal.” Stewart said the United States’ support of the LGBTQ community has steadily grown over the nine years he

THE RESULTS OF LAST WEEK’S POLL: On June 18, a judge ruled that brothels can’t exist online based on New Mexico’s legal definition of a brothel, which dates back to 1981. Because of this, the case against former UNM President F. Chris Garcia, who is being charged with running an online prostitution ring, is on hold. What do you think about this decision? Regardless of what is legally considered to be a brothel, if Garcia did run an online prostitution ring, there must be some law or laws he has broken and he should be punished accordingly.

88%

The judge was just by ruling according to the law, even though the online prostitution ring is clearly wrong.

6%

The law should be updated to account for the significant changes in technology since 1981, so when the case resumes the courts can charge Garcia with breaking a law.

3%

The law should continue to define a brothel as a “place where prostitution is practiced, encouraged and allowed” and Garcia should be acquitted.

THIS WEEK’S POLL:

On June 28, the Supreme Court ruled that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is constitutional, after it was signed into law on March 23 this year. The ACA requires citizens who are not receiving health insurance from their employer or the government to pay for minimal health insurance or pay a penalty, unless exempted by religious beliefs or financial hardship. What do you think about the ACA? I already have health insurance, so I don’t think this affects me the way it may affect those without insurance. I don’t appreciate being forced to pay for anything, regardless of the supposed benefits. The penalty, which is really a tax that would help pay the medical bills of people like me who can’t afford health insurance, is an easier burden to bear than living life without any safety net in the case of medical problems. It’s official: we’re one step closer to socialized medicine and therefore further straining our already delicate economy.

LETTERS Skepticism of authority lets us learn to live free Editor, If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought New York Times columnist David Brooks was having a laugh at our expense. Alas, Brooks means every word of his column titled “The Follower Problem,” as anyone who reads him regularly will realize. “I don’t know if America has a leadership problem; it certainly has a followership problem,” Brooks laments. “Vast majorities of Americans don’t trust their institutions.” Worse than that, he thinks Americans dislike all authority. We live in a culture that finds it easier to assign moral status to victims of power than to those who wield power. Then there is our fervent devotion to equality, to the notion that all people are equal and deserve equal recognition and respect. But the main problem is our inability to think properly about how power should be used to bind and build. Those “Question Authority” bumper stickers no longer symbolize an attempt to distinguish just and unjust authority. They symbolize an attitude of opposing authority. I think Brooks is wrong, though I wish he were right. I see little real rejection of political authority. Too bad. We need it. But let’s assume Brooks is right. Is antiauthoritarianism a problem? You’d have to be a nationalist devotee of intrusive government to think so. Who else would value mindless obeisance to political authority?

LETTER SUBMISSION POLICY

Brooks disparages “our fervent devotion to equality” because it’s “hard in this frame of mind to define and celebrate greatness, to hold up others who are immeasurably superior to ourselves.” Is he kidding? Is he really finding fault with those of us who fail to recognize greatness and superiority in “our political leaders?” (“Misleaders” is a better word.) Where, pray tell, is the evidence of either greatness or superiority in those whom Brooks has in mind? For some reason he doesn’t provide any. He just takes it for granted. He quotes Dwight Eisenhower, who wrote, “Always try to associate yourself with and learn as much as you can from those who know more than you do, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you.” That’s good advice, but is Brooks suggesting that our misleaders know more, do better and see more clearly than the rest of us? Can he give us any reason for that assertion? Presidents routinely interfere with our lives and authorize the mass murder we call “war.” Members of Congress do equally stupid things, such as passing bills authorizing unaccountable and ignorant bureaucrats to write inane rules about how to manage everything from medical care to the financial industry. These people get elected not by demonstrating superiority, or even greater-thanaverage knowledge, but by their facility in setting the right mood for voters. Politics is theater, and politicians are actors. If one portrays a character that enough people find appealing, he or she gets elected.

Of course, that’s not all politicians do. They devote a good deal of time to promising new ways to spend other people’s money — money that will be extracted from the taxpayers by threats of violence. They will also borrow money, which means they will create liabilities for future generations who have no say in the matter. This is greatness? It’s ludicrous to read superiority into anything they do. Nefariousness and condescension are more like it. Brooks fears the consequences of a general skepticism about authority. You end up with movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Parties that try to dispense with authority altogether. They reject hierarchies and leaders because they don’t believe in the concepts. The whole world should be like the Internet: a disbursed semi-anarchy in which authority is suspect and each individual is king. Again, I wish he were right. But he is far too optimistic (he’d call it pessimistic). Neither Occupy Wall Street nor the Tea Party has identified the root of our political and economic problems, and consequently their solutions are not anti-authoritarian enough. But at least they sense something is wrong systemically. That’s a start. Brooks, on the other hand, thinks it’s not the leaders who need changing so much as those who distrust “their” leaders. “We have to relearn the art of following,” he writes. No we don’t. We need to learn the art of living free. Sheldon Richman Daily Lobo reader

spent in the Air Force. “People have come around — even those who aren’t supportive, they’re just less not supportive, mostly like ‘Do whatever makes you happy,’” he said. “If they’re not all for you, at least they’re not fighting with you with every step.” Stewart said he wants to see the LGBTQ community more integrated into society in the future. “I hope that eventually all of this is less of a big deal, that it’s all just a part of the norm,” he said. “Most people I’ve come out to have generated little reaction, and I feel that’s the direction we need to go.” The parade featured floats from groups such as the Raging Grannies,

a local bike repair shop and the Albuquerque Episcopal Church. Haley Vanwinkle has attended the Pride Parade for the past 15 years and said the event has helped create a support system for the city’s gay community. “It’s like gay Halloween,” Vanwinkle said. “Once we can express ourselves like this every single day, we’re going to see more people comfortable with themselves.” Conrad Sanchez, communications director for the New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association, said the Pride Parade has helped him openly embrace his love for living a Western lifestyle. The NMGRA is just one of 28 chapters in the International Gay

Rodeo Association, Sanchez said. It accepts rodeo participants of all kinds, including women bull riders, men barrel racers and “wild drag races,” in which men in drag ride wild steers. “OUTSpoken,” Albuquerque’s queer slam poetry group, celebrated its second year in the Pride Parade, and group member Nathan Coffing said slam poetry is vital to self expression, especially for the LGBTQ community. “I think it’s highly important for us to have a space where we can talk about our problems, where we can talk about our joys and our triumphs,” he said. “I think that in the end, spaces like this allow queer voices to be understood at a level with each other that isn’t allowed in many other spaces

Bronies embrace ‘My Little Pony’ by Dave Collins

The Associated Press SECAUCUS, N.J. — Dale Fjordbotten is a proud “My Little Pony” fan, with the shiny blue body suit and yellow lightning bolt, blue wings and blue tail to prove it. Like many “Bronies” — boys and men who like the cartoon “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic”— the 25year-old college student turned out over the weekend for “BronyCon Summer 2012” at the Meadowlands Exposition Center, which drew 4,000 men, women, boys and girls, many in colorful wigs and costumes. “I thought about what people would say. ‘It’s creepy. It’s weird. It’s a … show for little girls,’” said Fjordbotten, from Staten Island, N.Y. “It’s just a great show … the story line, the plot, the beautiful animation.” Bronies say they’re a misunderstood lot who’ve gotten a bad rap from the media. They’re all about the show, friendship, love and tolerance, and they have no bad intentions, they say. “I discovered that there’s nothing to be ashamed of being a Brony,” said 19-year-old James Penna of Mastic in Long Island, N.Y. “People are into what they’re into.” Outside the convention center, young men danced and sang along with songs from the My Little Pony cartoon that blasted from loud speakers as a video screen on a large truck showed the show’s characters. One observer said it almost felt like a Grateful Dead concert. Inside, vendors sold stuffed ponies, pony accessories, pony signs, pony hats and just about every pony item imaginable. Stars who do the show’s

voices signed autographs and gave speeches. Staff appeared to be a little overwhelmed at times. It was just over a year ago when BronyCon attracted about 100 people to some meeting rooms in New York City. Now there are thousands of Bronies across the country. Hasbro released the first My Little Pony toys in 1983, and they led to television specials, a film and the first TV series from 1986 to 1987. The brand stuck around through the years. But along came animator Lauren Faust, who was hired by Hasbro and sparked new life to My Little Pony when she created the “Friendship is Magic” series. Faust had worked on “The Powerpuff Girls” and “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends” before dreaming up the land of Equestria, where My Little Pony characters like Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie get into all kinds of adventures. Faust told The Associated Press at BronyCon on Saturday that she never imagined the show would be such a hit with teenage boys and young men. She said her main target was little girls, but she hoped to draw in moms and perhaps some boys with strong characters and compelling story lines. “We live in a society where saying that something is for girls is the equivalent to saying that something is stupid, or saying that something isn’t worthwhile,” Faust said. “I think that’s awful and I think that kind of attitude needs to be changed,” she said. “And these men are doing it. … They’re proud that they’re forwardthinking and modern enough to look past this misogynistic attitude.”

‘1776’ brings sexy back to history by Graham Gentz gbgentz@unm.edu

The musical “1776” is not at all what you think it is. Dry, right? Historical and, more than likely, lame. But, no. This is a sexy, sexy show. “1776” concerns itself with the Continental Congress of the American Revolution: Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, as well as many others who tend to get passed over in elementary school history classes. Then the writers add music and a slew of bawdy sex jokes. The production itself is fantastic. A live orchestra sits in the pit of the Rodey Theatre, the costumes are great and the show is well-designed and well-directed. The cast is massive — 26 members in all — and the caliber of acting and singing is, on average, incredibly high, much high-

er than the vast majority of Albuquerque thespians could produce. Hal Simons is an exceptional antagonist as the wealthy John Dickinson. Michael Finnegan truly becomes Benjamin Franklin, the great original American heckling pimp. David Aubrey’s Thomas Jefferson combines scenestealing talent with considerable grace. J.P. Sisneros, playing Richard Henry Lee, could use more stage time, as his single song is easily a highlight in the show. The token women of the show, Amy Leigh Bingen and Kate Sarff, have relatively small parts but rock everything when they appear. Shawn Wayne King handles the lead of John Adams phenomenally as some kind of staccato Phil Hartman. The list goes on and on. These people seriously need to get out more and do more theater. Certain moments make you forget that you’re watching community theater,

which is what it’s all about. There are, however, almost three solid hours of moments. It’s a long show, which is somewhat standard for musicals of this kind. There are also incredibly lengthy sections with no songs at all, just political and moral debate among the delegates. But the acting is so superb — carried exceptionally by Simons — that hopefully you won’t mind. Technical issues seem common, unfortunately, which is a problem with an orchestra. It is impossible to hear many solo songs, even though it appears all the actors and actresses are wearing microphones. The structure is also odd. Ninety percent of the action takes place in a single room, making it feel a bit like a musical “Twelve Angry Men.” However, one of the things you do expect in a musical about the signing of

1776

The Torreón fresco at the National Hispanic Cultural Center took nearly 10 years to complete — so you should be able to give it an hour of your time. The mural covers 4,000 square feet and chronicles more than 3,000 years of Hispanic history. At least it’s more interesting than learning about it in history class. The center is at 1701 Fourth St. S.W. and free tours run from noon to 4 p.m.

from page 6

the Declaration of Independence is some viciously pronounced historical inaccuracy, and “1776” delivers this swimmingly. Musicals are largely prefaced on a heavy suspension of disbelief, and often require it. The Continental Congress is used as a literary device to portray embellished history while slipping in some anachronistic social commentary. It behaves much like a modern Congress with modern political debates and issues. The real Continental Congress met in secret, but there really isn’t a sense of that. The representatives of each colony seem more like self-concerned figureheads than hidden rebels. The most heated social debates deal with protecting one’s interests over the needs of all, as well as slavery. Dickinson is written as the great holdout against the revolution, as well as a wealthy elite concerned only with himself. His solo song, “Cool, Cool Considerate Men” addresses “left” and “right” politics, as well as the very modern “haves and have nots.” Class warfare is by no means new, but this version of Dickinson is the conservative American self-interest of today, surrounded by American mythology. When the issue of slavery finally appears, Jefferson verbally duels Edward Rutledge, representative of South Carolina. Adams and Jefferson attempt to take the moral high ground: Jeffer-

son claims he already plans to free his slaves. Rutledge calls them on their general hypocrisy, in a very powerful number called “Molasses to Rum” performed stupendously by Bryan Daniels, though his voice is not quite deep enough. This sort of heavy preaching is somewhat lost when you consider that Jefferson never released all his slaves during his life, but Rutledge actually did. “1776” strikes a weird spot between traditional and edgy.

State-funded renovation features artificial turf by Mundo Carrillo

sports@dailylobo.com

The football field at University Stadium is unrecognizable; the only things visible are big piles of dirt and heavy machinery. The field, along with the soccer and baseball fields, is being renovated for next season. UNM contracted with FieldTurf Artificial Grass & Synthetic Turf Products, a company that has renovated professional and college fields across the country, to install artificial turf on the football field. In past seasons, electrical breakers were often tripped due to the aging electrical equipment on the sidelines, so the Athletics Department is upgrading the sideline electrical equipment as well as improving the field’s irrigation system. There are also improvements being made to the communication system that allows coaches on the sidelines to communicate with coaches in the coach’s box overlooking the field. These state-funded improvements

will cost just over $1 million. The Athletics Department said the new field isn’t just for the football team, which has won only three games the past three seasons. “I think if you’re winning or losing, we would still try to put the money into it,” said Scott Dotson, the manager for Sports Facilities and Events. “I look at it as a field that the football team uses. When they’re not using it, someone else is going to use it. It’s the Athletics Department’s field, so the more use we could get out of it, whether it’s a community service or it’s generating income, it’s a benefit to our department.” The Athletics Department plans on bringing outside events to University Stadium. Some of those events include high school football games and Project Heart Start, which is a free CPR training course that was held in Johnson Center this year. Head football coach Bob Davie said he prefers grass, but is excited about having a field that is more permanent.

“I’m kind of old school. I’ve always really liked grass,” Davie said. “I think it was an excellent choice to go to field turf just because of the money you spend on maintaining that grass all year.” Synthetic turf is easier to maintain because it doesn’t have to be watered constantly and the field lines don’t have to be repainted before every game. Unlike Davie, redshirt junior running back Kasey Carrier said he prefers to play on artificial turf. “I actually love playing on turf,” Carrier said. “It makes you a lot faster, and you don’t slip every time you try to run.” Additionally, the soccer field’s grass was uprooted, and Bermuda grass was planted in its place — another state-funded project for which the state allocated $120,000. Bermuda grass is popular on sports fields because it can recover quickly when it’s damaged. Athletics said the field will be done before the start of the season.

Rebecca Hampton / Daily Lobo On May 16, renovations were underway on the University Stadium field. Artificial turf, updated electrical sideline equipment and a new irrigation system will be put in place by the start of next season. In May, the Board of Regents allocated $1.1 million for the renovation of the baseball field, which

includes installing artificial turf, building more bleachers and adding field lights.

Unclear selection process yields new head coach by Mundo Carrillo

The UNM swimming and diving team has found a replacement for seven-year head coach Tracy Ljone, but some details of the hiring

DAILY LOBO new mexico

CAMPUS EXHIBITS

process remain unclear. Kunio Kono was picked to replace Ljone and will be officially employed by the University on July 11. The committee that selected Kono was composed of Senior Associate Athletics Director Tim Cass, a member of the marketing department and a former swimming and diving coach. The typical process for hiring new head coaches involves conducting a series of interviews with candidates. The committee then deliberates and decides who to select, Cass said.

However, Cass said he has never met Kono. When asked why Kono was chosen over the other candidates, he said he was unsure, and that Kurt Esser, senior associate Athletics director of external affairs, was better suited to answer that question because Esser, not Cass, hired Kono. Cass also wouldn’t disclose who the other candidates were. “There’s certainly a gut feeling you get to when it comes to who is the right fit,” Cass said. “You dig into their background as much as you can to figure out if this is going to be

the right person at the right time.” Kono was the former associate head coach at UNLV, where his team took seven men’s MWC championships. Ljone never finished higher than sixth in the conference. Kono was not recruited to the position, but rather heard about it through another coach in the MWC. “Actually, I have a friend who coaches at San Diego State that told me about the job and told me I should apply for it,” Kono said. The Athletics Department and Kono have not officially agreed on a

salary, but it is estimated that he will make between $50,000 and $70,000 a year. Cass said a coach’s salary depends on how much money the sport generates and how much money other schools are paying their coaches. “All our salaries are market-driven,” Cass said. “We know what Texas Tech is paying their swim coach. We know what UNLV is paying their swim coach. We know we have to be competitive in that market to get the best coaches.”

Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

Rain didn’t fix the heat... suits that pique your interest. Taurus—During the last week, you ran into a number of obstacles, an unforgettable ride, though you’d like very much to leave it in the past and move on. Take care to reflect on these experiences because the more strenuous the test of character is, the greater your rewards for doing your best to finish strong. This week, you’ll find a way to channel the intense emotions to reap the rewards you’ve dreamt of for years now. Gemini—During the next year, you may feel you’ve arrived at the time of your life, the moment you’ll remember most vividly when you’re old. You’ll expand your skill set and become an asset in many social circles, which you’ll use to your advantage when networking and building your career. At the same time, the more negative aspects of your sign, such as flightiness and the tendency to gossip, are magnified. Keep tabs on this though, and you’ll do fine. Cancer—Health problems and feelings of unbalance are making even the simplest tasks seem closer to the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Although work appears the most strenuous, you know you need it for security. Any domestic problems will have ripple effects in all areas of your life, and will be especially troubling if you’re making a career transition or otherwise taking on more responsibility. Dealing with these problems should be the priority this week. Leo—What you believed was a casual affair, in business, career, romance or otherwise, will combust come the full moon on Tuesday. Be prepared for the best and the worst results of this phenomenon, meaning don’t take the rewards for granted and try to maintain a positive outlook toward the downfalls of this experience. If you handle this week tactfully while standing your ground, you’ll have no regrets.

Capricorn—You’ve finally hit a sweet spot where your personal relationships are concerned, though it is likely at the expense of time you could devote to work. This conflict between career and social life comes to a head with the full moon on Tuesday. You prefer to deal with obligations before indulging yourself, but this week you tend to gain more by letting your loved ones know you care. Aquarius—You’re better able to see your life through objective lenses and the things you’ve observed these past few weeks have been a real eye-opener. Whether you picked up on emerging skills you can capitalize on or habits that are robbing you of the energy and vitality you need to grow, this week you’ll act on what you’ve noticed. The time for change is now, and though it will be hard to shift your mentality accordingly, it will pay off over the next year. Pisces—If all else fails, remember you have family. This is not limited to biological family, as anyone you can go to for unconditional love and support will be important to you at this time. It’s difficult to ask for these things when you need them, but you’ll find family members are more than happy to oblige. This is also a time of opening up to someone with whom you’ve been casual. You may be reluctant, but it will be a favor to you and the person with whom you become more intimate. Aries—A weight that has plagued you the past year is finally beginning to lift, though not of its own accord. You are finally learning how to take control of your life, how to use your best assets to your advantage rather than squandering them while you indulge your impulses and become distracted by the material world. Expect the next year to take on an experimental feel as you explore a wide range of intellectual pur-

Virgo—Any activity going down in the domestic sphere is likely to yield positive results for you, especially where your social life is concerned. You may be concerned about how you come off to people, which is natural considering you’re inviting them into a more private part of life. Prolonged worrying will hold you back — use this time to test and beef up your improv skills, just be natural and know that all will go well. Libra—Your drive is reaching such heights that you may feel your body has become a prison keeping you from acting on every whim and impulse. Consider this a blessing in disguise as it affords you time to consider the consequences of your actions so that you may choose the wisest course to take. Expect your solution or inspiration to hit you out of nowhere and be prepared to act on it with intense vigor. Scorpio—You’ve been withholding intense emotions from even your closest companions and these feelings are now threatening to escape, regardless of your attempts to keep them hidden. If you’re concerned about keeping yourself in check, you might indulge the urge to expel all the darkness and passion building inside of you. Insanity will certainly result if you keep stuffing the urge down, though you may think your catharsis will culminate in craziness. Sagittarius—No matter who you’re aiming for, you are effortlessly charming this week and basking in the light of your own awesomeness will only serve you. It’s not always advisable to indulge your sense of pride, but this week you must make sure people understand your value to them in order to make the lucrative connections you’ve been seeking. Depending on how you work your social network, this could be the most profitable week of the year.
