The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

Association’s meeting ends in uncertainty

WRESTLING WITH WAR

by Svetlana Ozden news@dailylobo.com

Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo

Costume designer and actress Lila Martinez, a 2008 alumna, takes a rest from demonstrating at ROTC’s Welcome Back Day at Cornell Mall Tuesday. The demonstration was assembled by Food Not Bombs, Answer Coalition and (un)Occupy to protest the U.S. military and ROTC. Martinez said she was present to show empathy and understanding about the honest reality of running a military.

Despite claims from UNM Parent Association Board members, a UNM spokeswoman said the parent association won’t disband and will work with the University to resolve recent disagreements. As of Monday, all members of the association’s board have resigned, claiming the administration was pushing to have a say in the selection of the next Parent Association president. When asked Monday if the association planned to disband, UNM Parent Association board member Grant Kitting said “absolutely.” An emergency meeting of the Parent Association was scheduled Tuesday, for which only some of the group’s members were present. UNM communications officer Cinnamon Blair said the emergency meeting was not an official meeting because too few members attended to have a quorum. But she said the members who did attend seemed interested in working with the administration to keep the association intact and that members of the provost’s office shared the same interest. A move to disband the Parent Association was listed on the meeting’s agenda. “The University doesn’t want to see the association disband,” Blair said. Kitting and other association members did not respond to requests for comment all day Tuesday.

UNM, employees Deportation reprieve begins split insurance hike

UNM will pay larger percentage of costs to help offset recent insurance premium hike by Svetlana Ozden news@dailylobo.com

Even though UNM employees’ health insurance premium costs have increased, employees earning less than $50,000 per year won’t pay for the full amount of the increase out of pocket. Employees saw an 8.5 percent hike in insurance premium costs for fiscal year 2013, which began on July 1. But UNM changed its salary-tier contribution schedule, which lists the ratio of premium costs covered by the University to costs covered by employees. The University covers employees’ costs on a sliding scale based on employee salaries. According to the contribution schedule for FY 2012, UNM contributed 80 percent of premium costs for full-time employees who earned less than $25,000 per year, 70 percent of premium costs for those who earned between $25,000 and $35,000, and 60 percent for full-time employees who made more than $35,000. In FY 2013, UNM contributes

80 percent of premium costs for full-time employees who earn less than $35,000 per year, which is the maximum percentage allowed by the State of New Mexico. UNM covers 70 percent of premium costs for employees who earn between $35,000 and $50,000 and 60 percent of premium costs for employees who earn more than $50,000 per year. UNM is self-insured, which means that the University is the policy vendor. The University contracts with Lovelace and Presbyterian hospitals to provide networks and process insurance claims. Employees earning more than $50,000 per year are unaffected by the change in salary tier contribution and will pay for the full 8.5 percent increase out of pocket. But employees in lower income brackets will in some instances pay less in out of pocket costs for this fiscal year despite the 8.5 percent increase. For example, a single, full-time employee earning between $25,000 and $35,000 on

UNM students stand to benefit from new program by Barbara Gomez-Aguinaga news@dailylobo.com

Young undocumented immigrants in New Mexico and across the country can now start an application process that will allow them to work legally and remain in the country with temporary protection from deportation. The program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, went into effect Aug. 15. The Obama Administration initiative grants two-year deportation deferrals and work permits to eligible undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before they turned 16 and have lived for at least five years in the country. UNM student Juan Gonzalez is one of the estimated 12,840 potential beneficiaries of this program in New Mexico, according to the Immigration Policy Center. He said that in addition to the legal benefits, the program has inspired him to pursue higher education and achieve more ambitious goals. “Before, I thought it was a waste of time going to school and paying for education while I could not work after getting a

However, he said the program will help alleviate some of that burden.

“I am definitively going to apply because not having documents has really impacted my life,” he said. “It will make my life much easier.” Gonzalez lived in Arizona with his family before leaving home to pursue higher education in New Mexico. In Arizona, students who cannot prove they are in the country legally must pay out-ofstate tuition.

LETTER Tolerance not tolerable; UNM shouldn’t stand for it Editor’s note: This letter is in response to “True tolerance means tolerating intolerance,” a letter from Michael Reid published in the Daily Lobo on Monday. In the letter, Reid addressed “UNM ought to expel Chick-fil-A from campus,” a letter from William A. Strickler published Aug. 13. Here, Strickler responds to Reid’s letter. Editor, Michael Reid, you are right. Tolerance was not the right word to use. The Chick-fil-A CEO said his anti-gay remarks as Chick-fil-A’s CEO. He did not say it was his personal opinion saying that his company supports “the biblical definition of the family unit” and that he prays “God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is about.” Plus, Chick-fil-A has given money to antigay groups. UNM has a policy of no discrimination based on sexual orientation, but how is not letting gays marry nondiscriminatory? I don’t know how a gay person would be 100 percent comfortable taking a class from you when at the very least you condone Chickfil-A’s actions and besides, the food is good, right? William A.

The verdict is in: this year’s Olympics coverage by NBC sucked. The extinguishing of the Olympic flame at the closing ceremonies in London did not put an end to the chorus of global condemnation of NBC’s television coverage. Three days into the network’s Olympics broadcast, disgruntled viewers had already created the hashtag #NBCfail on Twitter. It quickly became a global sensation. NBC Universal, which holds exclusive broadcast rights in the United States, has endured a relentless stream of criticism about its coverage since the closing ceremonies ended on August 13. Among the many complaints: 1. NBC spoiled the outcome of events that the network insisted on tape-delaying in order to be shown during prime time. 2. The curious editing choices of the opening and closing ceremonies. 3. The timing and number of commercial breaks. 4. NBC aired a promo for “Animal Practice” showing a monkey doing gymnastics right after Gabby Douglas won her gold medal, prompting accusations of racism. 5. The NBC Olympics Live Extra feed frequently failed. It buffered endlessly due to various in-app errors. The advertisements worked fine, though. 6. The network later had to apologize for giving away the result of Missy Franklin’s gold medal victory in the 100-meter backstroke right before airing the actual event. 7. Viewers had to be cable subscribers to see any of the live streams (when they worked). 8. Ryan Seacrest. I’d like to know what brilliant NBC programmer decided that viewers want to see manufactured drama in place of actual competition. The need to “dumb down” and repackage the day’s events, complete with many heartwarming, slickly produced videos, is annoying to people with a genuine interest in sports. Why do they need to present it as entertainment? Aren’t the games entertaining enough? NBC’s target audience is apparently more into reality television than the human drama of athletic competition. Many of us also demanded to know why NBC chose to pre-empt the over-the-top closing ceremonies from London to cram one of their crappy new fall programs down

our throats. After an hour of commercial-free mediocrity, the network apparently returned to Olympic Stadium in time for the final moments of The Who’s performance, but by then I was sound asleep. I still can’t comprehend why it was necessary to present Tom Brokaw’s patronizing hourlong documentary on World War II instead of the usual edited highlights of the day’s competition. I realize that a lot of Americans probably have no clue as to who even won the second World War at this point, but the Olympics should absolutely not be used as a forum for glorifying human conflict. It’s about bringing the world together for peaceful competition. In recent years, it has become the norm for U.S. commentators to focus on American athletes at the Olympics, but watching many of the events, viewers wouldn’t even know there were other competitors present. Our American exceptionalism even extends to Olympics coverage. Often, the TV cameras concentrated exclusively on the American athletes. In some events, like swimming and track and field, it appeared that the Americans were competing against themselves. We had no idea who the other athletes were! Our national obsession with winning gold medals above all was still evident, even among some of the athletes. United States gymnast McKayla Maroney won the silver medal after being heavily favored for gold in the vault competition. Her disappointed smirk from the podium became an Internet meme. Speaking of which: do we really need to see the entire medal ceremony? That smacked of propaganda to me, especially since we rarely got to see anyone but Americans receiving their awards. And if there’s no American featured in an event, it goes without saying we won’t get to see it in prime time. I always root for the U.S. athletes and I’m proud when they win, but it would be nice to see what the other competitors look like once in a while. To me, that’s what the Olympics are all about: international competition and cooperation; not simply “America against the world.” By far the most annoying aspect of NBC’s coverage was the sheer volume of commercials viewers had to sit through. NBC had no qualms about interrupting events for a commercial break, either — another reason for the tape delay. And that’s not even counting the endless promos for NBC television’s fall drivel. If I ever have to watch another promo

for Matthew Perry’s craptastic new show, I’m going to poke my eyes out. Let’s be realistic. NBC Universal paid a lot of money ($1.18 billion) for exclusive rights to the Olympics, and they needed to make a profit. The strategy required big-time advertisers, and that meant the main events had to be shown in prime time. The downside of a billion dollars in ad revenues is that Americans were forced to watch a billion dollars’ worth of commercials. NBC couldn’t recoup that loss by giving away big-draw events for free over the Internet. They had to pander to the prime-time audience, most of whom aren’t following events on Twitter, or online from their desks or mobile devices. Somehow, NBC made it work. According to Nielsen, the London Olympics boasted an incredible 5,535 hours of coverage across NBC and its affiliates (including MSNBC, NBC Sports Network and BRAVO), surpassing the 2008 Beijing Olympics coverage by 2,000 hours. The average cost of a 30-second U.S. commercial spot during the Olympics opening ceremony has steadily increased over the years, from $155,000 back in 1988 to $320,000 in 2008. In 2012, it was probably closer to half a million bucks. So it wasn’t a complete disaster for NBC. Even if the coverage was awful, the ratings were astounding. Nearly 220 million Americans tuned in to the broadcast, making the London Olympics the most-watched event in the history of U.S. television. The 2012 games beat out the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which brought in “only” 215 million viewers. Still, the 2012 Olympics will be remembered as a breakthrough in multiplatform broadcasting and merchandising. The primetime broadcast averaged 31.1 million viewers, making it the most-watched non-U.S. Summer Olympics since Montreal in 1976. Despite the controversy, the closing ceremony still brought in 31 million viewers, another record for non-U.S. games. Predictably, Americans are much more likely to tune in when the games happen on home turf. In 1996, the Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, and the Los Angeles Olympics took place in 1984. Chicago failed in its recent bid for 2016. As long as there have been Olympics broadcasts, there have been people bitching about Olympics broadcasts. Be prepared for more of the same, though: NBC owns the rights to broadcast the Olympic Games until 2020.

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — They were seemingly ordinary tweets from two friends hanging out on a railroad bridge in their hometown, enjoying one last summer night together before heading back to college. “Drinking on top of the Ellicott City sign,” read one. “Looking down on old ec,” read another. Accompanying photos showed their view from the bridge and their bare feet, one with painted blue toenails, dangling over the edge. “Levitating,” read another tweet. Minutes after the messages were shared on the social media site Twitter, a Baltimore-bound CSX freight train loaded with coal barreled down the tracks and derailed, killing the 19-year-old women and toppling railcars and coal onto the streets below of this historic Maryland community. Investigators were still trying to figure out what caused the derailment. Witnesses heard squealing brakes and a thunderous crash around midnight Monday. It wasn’t clear whether the women’s presence on the tracks had anything to do with the derailment. They were sitting on the edge of the bridge over Ellicott City’s main street as the train passed a few feet behind them, Howard County police said, and their bodies were found buried under coal. Authorities said they needed to do autopsies before their cause of death could be determined. The victims were identified as Elizabeth Conway Nass, a student at James Madison University in central Virginia and Rose Louese Mayr, a nursing student at the University of Delaware. The railroad is easily accessible from the picturesque downtown of Ellicott City, about 15 miles west of Baltimore, and generations of young people have played and partied along the tracks. The railroad was completed in 1830 and crosses over Main Street in the city’s historic district, following the route of the nation’s first commercial railroad, according to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum. “We grew up running on those tracks,” said Ellicott City native

Patrick Semansky / AP Photo Officials inspect part of a CSX freight train that derailed alongside a parking lot overnight in Ellicott City, Md., on Tuesday. Authorities say the train, hauling coal from West Virginia to Maryland, derailed and fell from a bridge near Baltimore, killing two college students who were on the tracks. Howard County officials say 21 of the train’s 80 cars flipped over around midnight Monday. Bridgette Hammond, 25. “It’s actually really beautiful up there.” Nass and Mayr were on the dance team at Mt. Hebron High School in Ellicott City, from which they graduated, and they planned to finish college in 2014, according to friends and their Facebook pages. One of Nass’ sorority sisters, Donya Mossadeghi, called her “a joy to talk to” and someone who “would never say a bad thing about anybody.” Nass made the dean’s list in the fall in the fall of 2010 and 2011, according to a university spokesman, and another friend said she was studying special education. Tori Mace, of Ellicott City, knew Mayr through mutual friends. “She was really fun, really friendly,” Mace said. A person who answered the telephone at Nass’ home declined to comment, as did a family member who answered at a number listed for the Mayr family. The pictures and tweets from Mayr were no longer publicly available Tuesday afternoon, but friends confirmed they were hers and police said they were aware of the posts and looking into them. Jill Farrell, who lives across the street from the tracks, said she heard what sounded liked squealing brakes and then a crash, followed by silence. Benjamin Noppenberger was getting ready for bed when he and his

wife heard what sounded like gunshots. They waited about 10 minutes before going outside. “We could see all the cars that fell over. I just saw catastrophe,” he said. Jim Southworth, investigator in charge for the NTSB, declined to speculate on a possible cause. He said the brakes were applied automatically when an air line used to pressurize the braking system was disconnected. He did not say what role, if any, the brakes may have played in the derailment. “This will be a very wide-ranged investigation,” Southworth said, adding that officials will “look into the maintenance of the track, the maintenance of the equipment, the maintenance of the locomotive — everything you can think of.” The crew of three — an engineer, a conductor and an engineer trainee — didn’t see or feel anything unusual before the crash, Southworth said. They were not injured. The train was equipped with video-recording devices that investigators will review to help them determine what happened. It was going about 25 mph but Southworth would not say whether that was an appropriate speed limit for the area. CSX spokesman Bob Sullivan said that the train was traveling from Grafton, W.Va., to Baltimore. It had two locomotives and weighed 9,000 tons, he said. The first 21 cars of the 80-car train derailed.

Gonzalez, who is an activist in the Albuquerque Dreamers in Action organization, worked in El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos and volunteered at the UNM Division for Equity and Inclusion, and said he became an activist so he could fight for immigrant rights. In addition to a work permit and a deportation deferral, those accepted into the program will receive a valid social security number and be able to obtain a driver’s license. According to the Department of Homeland Security, eligible applicants for the program must be at least 15 years old and not older than 30. They have to have arrived in the U.S. before age 16 and lived in the U.S. for at least five consecutive years. They must be currently enrolled in school or have obtained a high school diploma or GED certification. Those eligible cannot have been convicted of a felony or significant misdemeanors. The work permit and the

deportation deferral granted by the DHS must be renewed every two years, and they do not grant any kind of residence status or citizenship. Every deferred-action application has a nonrefundable fee of $465, and applicants can apply multiple times; however, if an application is rejected, there is no appeal. There is a risk of being deported if applicants make conscious misrepresentations, lie in order to get a work permit or are a risk to public safety. Representatives for presidential candidate Mitt Romney have refused to say whether he’d allow for the policy to continue if elected. Romney has voiced his opposition to other immigration reform initiatives such as the DREAM Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for some young undocumented immigrants, NPR reported.

news NEW MEXICO BRIEFS Gov. gets prime slot at GOP convention SANTA FE — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez will make a prime-time speech next week at the Republican National Convention. Republican officials announced Tuesday that Martinez will deliver her remarks right before the keynote speaker on the convention’s second day. Martinez appears before a video and the keynote address next Tuesday night by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Republicans are holding their presidential nominating convention Aug. 27-30 in Tampa, Fla. A prime-time speaking role increases the potential for national television exposure for Martinez, who is the nation’s first Hispanic female governor. Martinez was elected in 2010 and is the first female governor of New Mexico.

as part of a special exhibition. “New Mexico: Best of the Best� will run through the end of the month. It includes photographs, paintings and drawings featuring everything from crayons and markers to chalk, oil paints and computer graphics. State education officials say the exhibition features 66 works from students in Albuquerque, Bloomfield, Hobbs, Gadsden, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and Tucumcari. The work of some charter-school students is also included. The artwork was created by students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The state Public Education Department says the nonprofit New Mexico Art Education Association received a late-hour opportunity from the federal agency to put on the exhibition. It took a couple of months to organize.

‘The Lone Ranger’ closes state park SANTA FE — Government officials say portions of a state park in northern New Mexico are closed because of production of the film “The Lone Ranger.� The movie stars Arnie Hammer as the masked rider and Johnny Depp as Tonto.

The Game and Fish Department announced Tuesday that anglers will face possible restrictions on access to the Cimarron River in Cimarron Canyon State Park because of filming through next week. The State Parks Division says several of the park’s recreation areas along U.S. 64 will be closed through Saturday and Aug. 27-30. Access to pullouts along the highway will be restricted during that period from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. from the Perryville day use area to the park’s eastern boundary. The park is east of the small community of Eagle Nest.

Scorched trading post to get facelift SANTO DOMINGO PUEBLO, N.M. — Santo Domingo Pueblo is breaking ground on a project to restore a trading post that has served as a Southwestern icon for a century. The Santo Domingo Historic Trading post was added to state and national cultural property lists in the late 1990s. A fire destroyed the interior walls and roof in 2001. Pueblo Gov. Sisto Quintana says his community has been looking forward to Tuesday’s groundbreaking ceremony for years. He described the old trading post as a vibrant place of commerce and culture. Its history is intertwined with the heyday of the railroads, mining and Route 66.

Owls make project a pain in the asphalt LAS CRUCES — The discovery of a nest of protected burrowing owls has brought work on a trail extension in Las Cruces to a screeching halt. The 4.5-mile extension of the pedestrian and bike path bike was expected to be done by this month, but the discovery forced city officials to stop work immediately. Burrowing owns are considered a protected species in New Mexico and are listed as endangered in Canada. Assistant City Manager Brian Denmark tells the Las Cruces SunNews that New Mexico State University biologists are evaluating the site. They will tell the city when the birds’ young are old enough that the nest can safely be disturbed so the path can be completed. The tiny owls nest in abandoned burrows dug by animals such as prairie dogs.

Opera to host opus about Chinese hero SANTA FE — The Santa Fe Opera has announced its 2014 season will feature the American premiere of a work by Chineseborn composer Huang Ruo. His opera, “Dr. Sun Yat-Sen,” is about the leader of China’s revolution that overthrew the monarchy in 1911 and established a republic. In making Thursday’s announcement, Opera General Director Charles MacKay said Huang’s “music is exotic and distinctive, with a lovely lyrical quality which makes it very approachable for the voice.” The composer lives in the United States. The opera had its world premiere in Hong Kong last year and parts of it have been performed in New York. The title role will be sung by tenor Warren Mok. The three-act opera will replace Judith Weir’s “Miss Fortune,” which had been slated for the 2014 season, but was cancelled.

Hopfest provides brews, tunes and rides by Nicole Storey

culture@dailylobo.com

Matt Jones brews beer in the depths of his garage, sings in front of hundreds of people and is paid to write songs for other musicians — so

he’s right at home at Albuquerque’s fifth annual Hopfest. The Hopfest, which will take place Friday at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, features more than 150 handcrafted beers in sample-sized cups, live music on three stages and many local vendors.

Jones, a hobby-brewer, said he likes performing at a festival not entirely dedicated to one thing. “You’re afforded a unique opportunity when the festival isn’t about music,” he said. “I love the fact that people come out with an interest in beer and you catch them when

they’re not expecting it.” The event will feature local and regional craft beers selected by festival producer Marne Gaston, who makes her selections based on what she thinks New Mexicans like. Hopfest is promoted in the same fashion as a wine-tasting event. More than 150 different beers will be dispersed, and favorite brews are voted on by the crowd. This year’s Hopfest will feature local brews from Taos Ale House, Back Alley Draft House, Broken Bottle Brewery and Sandia Chile Grill, as well as many others. “Crowds love to try new beers, so we expect the new local breweries to be a huge hit … all new to the festival and local,” Gaston said. Santa Fe Brewing Company has been participating in Hopfest since the festival began. Albuquerque sales representative Storey Byar said craft beer is a growing social trend in New Mexico. Hopfest offers beer enthusiasts a chance to try new flavors and expand their beer horizons. “People are starting to realize that there are so many flavors out there,” Byar said. “They are starting to put away the domestics to try something more tasty and appealing.” Even though beer is the main event, Gaston said organizers implemented a number of safety measures to ensure no intoxicated festival-goers get

behind the wheel of a car when they leave event. “There is no excuse for anyone not to get home safely,” she said. “We have a booth manned by designated drivers on demand, they will actually drive your car home for you if you can’t.” Hopfest also features local musicians such as Shane Wallin, recently voted best new singer-songwriter by Albuquerque the Magazine. Jones will also be playing on the outdoor stage using the stage name The Real Matt Jones. Jones has played music for 18 years, primarily guitar, and his nickname is “The Claw.” He said he likes to focus on songwriting and interacting with the audience. “I don’t think that music is a selfish thing; I want to have a connection with the audience,” he said. “I just want people to be affected by it. All art should be effective in some way — the worst thing that can happen is when people are completely apathetic.”

Week in the Gila was no walk in the park by Nicole Perez

news@dailylobo.com My journey to the Gila National Forest to volunteer for the U.S. Forest Service began on Sunday, when I missed the 5 p.m. Greyhound from Albuquerque and squeezed my way onto the next one, which left at 2:50 the following morning. By the time I reached Glenwood at around 10 a.m., I had been awake for more than 24 hours straight, and was slightly delusional. I swear I saw a tree at the side of the road that looked exactly like the Virgin Mary cradling Jesus.

MONDAY

A trail crew worker drove our truck, which was packed full of beef jerky, mummy sleeping bags and angry-toothed saws, down bumpy dirt roads through Reserve, NM. I was told the town has a population of about 500, according to the most recent census. A sign in the window of a local café listed the prizes for the town’s raffle: first place — ­elk hunting permit; second place — gun; third place — camouflage outfit. The front page of the local newspaper featured a 200-word sentence describing oldtimers in Pie Town. We filled our canteens at the only water spigot for 20 miles and drove uphill through giant ponderosa pines until we reached the rest of the crew. We were greeted by a thunderstorm, so the crew leader quickly taught me how to get into “lightning pose,” which requires squatting above the ground on tiptoe with a ducked head. We looked like five constipated monks reckoning with the heavens while simultaneously trying to take a dump at the pinnacle of a mountain.

TUESDAY

The goal of backpacking is to carry everything you need in as little weight as possible — easier said than done. One of the trail crew members knew exactly how many ounces his plasticencased “Pasta Sides” and other food weighed. I took canned corn, pasta and a gourmet glass bottle of tomato sauce and was ridiculed the whole hike down the side of a canyon. We lost 2,000 feet of elevation over the course of three miles, and I’m pretty sure my backpack propelled me the whole way down — the extra weight was a smart move after all.

we hiked a couple of miles to the San Francisco Box Canyon, where many of the animals have never before seen humans. There wasn’t a trail, so we plodded through the river in our leather hiking boots, shrieking at the freezing water. A family of raccoons sunbathed and groomed each other on a rock as we stood watching from 10 yards away. A blue heron flew into the distance as two of the trail crew members hunted for crawdads, which are an invasive species. They

caught two, and we watched them jerk their claws as they were boiled alive. Their guts were bright yellow and dark green, and we examined one of the creatures’ heart or brain — we couldn’t tell which one it was.

FRIDAY

Tackling the massive hike uphill was more difficult mentally than physically, and one trail crew member said the trail was steeper than trails in the Grand Canyon

(he once hiked rim to rim, no big deal). When I reached the top, my whole back was soaked with sweat and I took off everything except my underwear and stared at the valley below us. Roads cut through the forest like ant trails and the lakes looked like tear drops and I didn’t give a flying freak that my back felt like it was 100 years old and my face was red as a strawberry and I smelled like a dying cow.

WEDNESDAY

There’s something to be said for sawing through a log that’s wider than your body with a saw longer than your arm span. The crosscut saw is a deadly tool from the late 19th century that the Forest Service still employs when not all crew members are certified to handle a chain saw. Ours was made in 1940. I pulled the saw back and forth through the log with all 115 pounds of my weight, as sawdust flew up my nose and my arm muscles felt like they would burn out of my sweatshirt. When the behemoth log finally cracked and fell, I felt like I had just conquered Troy and punched a bunch of people in the face while doing it. Maybe I should drop out of school, grow a beard, drink chicory root, smoke a pipe full of harvested mint leaves and spend my life sawing through dead logs in a remote mountain valley next to a river filled with crayfish. What a life.

THURSDAY

We finished the trail work early, so after axing through the final tree

Nicole Perez/ Daily Lobo U.S. Forest Service Trail Crew employees Amber Avidson (right) and Mariaelena Cardoza inspect the intestines of a crawdad freshly caught and boiled next to the San Francisco River in the Gila National Forest last week. The crew cleared three miles of trail by the San Francisco Box Canyon with hand saws and loppers, and then hiked all their equipment up a trail that gains 2,000 feet in elevation in three miles the next day.

Mountain time? Try Martian time by Alicia Chang

The Associated Press LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. — For one family, an exotic summer getaway means living on Mars. Martian time, that is. Since the landing of NASA’s newest Mars rover, flight director David Oh’s family has taken the unusual step of tagging along as he leaves Earth time behind and syncs his body clock with the red planet. For the first three months of every mission to Mars, a small army of scientists and engineers reports for duty on “Mars time.” But it’s almost unheard of for an entire family to flip their orderly lives upside-down, shifting to what amounts to a time zone change every day. Intrigued about abiding by extraterrestrial time, Oh’s wife, Bryn, could not pass up the chance to take their kids — 13-year-old Braden, 10-year-old Ashlyn and 8-year-old Devyn — on a Martian adventure from their home near the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the Curiosity rover was built. “We all feel a little sleepy, a little jet-lagged all day long, but everyone is doing great,” Bryn Oh said, two weeks into the experiment. Days on Mars last a tad longer. Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours — the definition of a day. Neighbor Mars spins more lazily. Days there — known as sols — last 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than days on Earth. The difference may not seem like much, but it adds up. To stay in lockstep, nearly 800 people on the $2.5 billion project have surrendered to the Martian cycle of light and dark. In the simplest sense, each day slides forward 40 minutes. That results in wacky work sleep and eating schedules. Many say it feels like perpetual jet lag. The Oh family broke in slowly. A sign on their front door warns: “On Mars Time: Flight Director Asleep. Come Back Later.” Days before Curiosity’s Aug. 5 touchdown, the children stayed up until 11:30 p.m. and slept in until 10 a.m. In the beginning, it wasn’t much different from a typical day on summer vacation. As the days wore on, they stayed up later and later, waking up in the afternoon and evening.

Let us work for you!

One time last week, the family ate a 3 p.m. breakfast, 8 p.m. lunch, 2:30 a.m. dinner and 5 a.m. dessert before heading off to bed. To sleep when the sun is out, their bedroom windows are covered with aluminum foil or cloth to keep out every sliver of light. In the hallway, a handmade calendar keeps track of the days and schedules are written on an oversized mirror. A digital clock in the master bedroom is set to Mars time. Bryn Oh keeps a meticulous

A simple question like “What time is it?” can be difficult to answer. Do you mean earth time? Curiosity time? spreadsheet updated with her husband’s work hours and the family’s activities. They wear a wireless device that monitors their steps, caloris burned and sleep patterns. When David Oh tells co-workers on Mars time and friends on Earth time about the switch: “Some of them think it’s really cool to have the kids along; some who worked on other Mars missions have said, ‘You’re crazy.’” Being night owls has its perks: Braden, Ashlyn and Devyn saw their first shooting star. The family went on night hikes in the hills around the neighborhood. They had a late dinner in Hollywood and gawked at street performers on the Walk of Fame with other tourists. They saw a midnight screening of a zombie film and then went bowling. One night, Bryn Oh took the children biking in an empty parking lot. The youngest shed his training wheels for the first time, pedaled around on his own. Of the three, Ashlyn has the most difficulty sticking to the Mars rhythm. She tends to wake up too early and balks at naps. “It’s awesome, but it’s tiring,” she said.

Braden thrives on the weird hours. What teenager doesn’t like staying up as late as possible and having frozen yogurt at midnight? He started a blog detailing the family’s experiences. Earthly sacrifices were made. The family traded a real vacation for a glorified staycation. Dental appointments, harp lessons and play dates were scheduled around the kids’ waking hours, which was a moving target every day. Still, they managed to host a party a week after the landing, throwing a Mars-themed backyard barbecue complete with a cake shaped like Gale Crater, Curiosity’s new home, and topped with candles shaped like stars. Bryn Oh said it’s easy to lose track of what day it is. A simple question like “What time is it?” can be difficult to answer. Do you mean Earth time? Curiosity time? The time that their bodies think they’re on? For the mission workers, the schedule is also more grueling than in the past. Their work hours tend to whiplash around depending on when orbiting spacecraft fly over the rover landing site to relay signals to Earth. One shift sends up commands spelling out what Curiosity will do for the day; another pores over the pictures beamed back. To cope, workers talk as if they’re on Mars, saluting “Good morning” to one another even though it might be dark outside. Cots are available for siestas. There’s also free ice cream — “a little pick-me-up in the middle of the night,” said mission manager Mike Watkins. Watkins said it’s tough for anyone to stray from Earth time, let alone a family. “It’s something they’re going to remember the rest of their lives,” he said. There have been growing pains. David Oh accidentally showed up to work an hour early one time. The youngest tended to get tired at night. The family recently reached a milestone: Staying up through sunrise and sleeping during the day. And just as the children get used to Mars time, they’ll have to reboot later this month when they revert to their terrestrial ways in time to return to school.

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE SPORTSMANSHIP INITIATIVE

August 13, 2012

Dear Fellow Students: The Mountain West Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) believes the most important aspects of sport are good ethics and positive sportsmanship. We are very pleased the Conference continues its initiative to enhance this philosophy. We need your assistance to make this effort a success. The SAAC believes that, in order for an institution to convey a message of good ethics and positive sportsmanship, it must have the involvement and participation of everyone involved with athletics on campus. This includes, but is not limited to, the President, athletics administrators, coaches, student-athletes and you – the students/fans. It is our behavior that will shape the perception of our institutions and teams by the public, the media and our opponents. Good ethics and positive sportsmanship are philosophies that must be displayed both on and off the playing field. We must take a leadership role to compete at the highest levels, always endeavoring to win, but doing so with grace, class, dignity and respect. Please join us in supporting the Conference’s Sportsmanship Initiative. Such an effort will help make the Mountain West Conference one of the premier athletic conferences in the country, and represent our institutions well. Cordially,

Every year, Beloit College in Beloit, Wis., releases its Mindset List to give a snapshot of how the incoming freshman class views the world. The list for the Class of 2016: Most students entering college for the first time this fall were born in 1994. For these students, Kurt Cobain, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Richard Nixon and John Wayne Gacy have always been dead. 1. They should keep their eyes open for Justin Bieber or Dakota Fanning at freshman orientation. 2. They have always lived in cyberspace, addicted to a new generation of “electronic narcotics.� 3. The Biblical origins of terms such as “forbidden fruit,� “the writing on the wall,� “good Samaritan,� and “the promised land� are unknown to most of them. 4. If they miss The Daily Show, they can always get their news on YouTube. 5. Their lives have been measured in the fundamental particles of life: bits, bytes, and bauds. 6. Robert De Niro is thought of as Greg Focker’s long-suffering father-in-law, not as Vito Corleone or Jimmy Conway. 7. Bill Clinton is a senior statesman of whose presidency they have little knowledge. 8. On TV and in films, the ditzy dumb blonde female generally has been replaced by a couple of dumb and dumber males. 9. The paradox “too big to fail� has been for their generation what “we had to destroy the village in order to save it� was for their grandparents. 10. For most of their lives, maintaining relations between the United States and the rest of the world has been a woman’s job in the State Department. 11.

Having grown up with MP3s and iPods, they never listen to music on the car radio and really have no use for radio at all. 13. Since they’ve been born, the United States has measured progress by a 2 percentage point jump in unemployment and a 16-cent rise in the price of a first-class postage stamp. 14. Their folks have never gazed with pride on a new set of bound encyclopedias on the bookshelf. 15. The Green Bay Packers have always celebrated with the Lambeau Leap. 16. Exposed bra straps have always been a fashion statement, not a wardrobe malfunction to be corrected quietly by well-meaning friends. 17.

White House security has never felt it necessary to wear rubber gloves when gay groups have visited. 20. They have lived in an era of instant stardom and self-proclaimed celebrities, famous for being famous. 21.

and smartphone screens. 22. Star Wars has always been just a film, not a defense strategy. 23. They have had to incessantly remind their parents not to refer to their CDs and DVDs as “tapes.� 24. There have always been blue M&Ms, but no tan ones. 25. Along with online viewbooks, parents have always been able to check the crime stats for the colleges their kids have selected. 26.

Simba has always had trouble waiting to be king. 36. There has always been a World Trade Organization. 37. Ice-skating competitions have always been jumping matches. 38. There has always been a Santa Clause. 39. Herr Schindler has always had a List; Mr. Spielberg has always had an Oscar. 40. They know many established film stars by their voices on computer-animated blockbusters. 41. History has always had its own channel. 42.

Q Fashion &A Tiffany Clash, freshman, film “Thrift all the way.”

Tiffany Clash’s style is defined by budget-friendly thrift store pieces with a handmade touch — she cut and bleached her shorts herself. Clash said she doesn’t think too much about her outfits and just picks pieces she likes. “I really don’t care. I just wear something comfortable for myself,” she said. Favorite trend: “I like the bohemian look. Urban Outfitters (is) my favorite store.” Least favorite trend: “I hate patterned leggings. They’re just nasty. At least where I’m from (California), they’re really trashy — I haven’t seen them here yet.” Advice to a fashion defunct friend: “Just wear whatever you’re comfortable with. Who cares what other people think? Just do you.” Shorts — bleached herself, originally from thrift store, $3 Shirt — borrowed from roommate’s closet Bag — thrift store, $13 Boots — $20

Estevan Velasco, junior, psychology

“I like to be comfortable, but I like to be colorful, too. I like to be noticed with my wardrobe (and) dress to impress most days.” Velasco’s wardrobe is made up of fashion staples such as his Sperry Top-Siders and is accented with bold, colorful pieces. Overall, he describes his style as casual without being “too comfortable for school.” Favorite trend: “Bright neon colors (are) really popular. I don’t really see a lot of guys doing it, so I kind of like to do it for the guys because I have a lot of bright colors in my wardrobe.” Least favorite trend: Velasco isn’t too keen on girls shaving half of their heads but still leaving the other half long. “I don’t really know how I feel about the shaved head,” he said. “I feel like (Rihanna) should just do that.” Advice to a fashion defunct: “Just be yourself. Try to make your look your own. Have fun with it.” Shoes — Sperry Top-siders, $60 Pants — H&M, $30 Shirt — PacSun, $12
