HSC records lost in June fire
FIRE ON BROADWAY
by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
The UNM Health Sciences Center lost about 90 percent of its patient medical records created before 2005, after a fire burned through an industrial warehouse in downtown Albuquerque this summer, said Catherine Porto, executive director of health information and incident commander. On June 23, a catastrophic fire broke out at a records storage warehouse at 1301 Broadway Blvd. N.E., north of Mountain Road N.E. and west of the University. The exact cause of the fire is undetermined, but the investigation is focusing on the roof top air conditioner where the fire may have begun and spread rapidly. Temperatures are believed to have reached well over 2,000 degrees, according to the Albuquerque Fire Department. Most of the contents were

Proposed regent-choosing method clears hurdle by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu
The Faculty Senate approved a resolution Tuesday that it hopes could radically change the way university regents are chosen at New Mexico institutions. For the last year, a faculty task force under the Senate Operations Committee developed a new process for the selecting
regents. Faculty Senate President Richard Wood said faculty’s input on regent selection is invaluable. “The regents need to understand the internal realities of the University, and the faculty needs to insist on academically driven decision making with faculty input,” Wood said. As proposed, the University would form a committee on regent appointments when the UNM
The Afro American Experience by Eva Dameron
eva.incognito@gmail.com Editor’s note: This semester, the Daily Lobo will feature semi-monthly interviews with African American students. D’Andre Quinn Curtis, who goes by “Dre,” is the incoming president of Men of Color in Motion, which he changed from the previously titled Black Men in Motion. He doesn’t like the word black. “I think the word black objectifies a person,” he said. “I like to call people by their race. If a person is Caucasian, they’re not white. I just feel like people should be identified for what they are.”

The committee will then identify eight to 10 exemplary faculty and community members who represent diverse ethnic/racial, socio-economic, political and academic backgrounds. The selection process must be approved by the faculty senates at all three New Mexico universities before it can be adopted by the governor, but UNM’s senate was the
Curtis goes to school for architecture and is a fashion designer at home. He lends his goodwill expertise at the African American Student Services building. He moved to Arizona from Detroit, Mich., in seventh grade, and he attended a Mormon high school. He said his AfricanAmerican experience really began in African American Student Services. “The Afro provided me with leadership, “he said. “Scott Carreathers has been a great father figure, a great advocate for African-American students. If I didn’t have the Afro as a resource, I wouldn’t be as developed as I am today.” He said he is disappointed the youth are going down the drain, the flip side of holding his own behavior to high standards. “I hear so much profanity nowadays,” Curtis said. “And it’s from the older generations that passed it to the younger generations,” Curtis said. “People are OK with being rude to each other. I feel like there’s no courtesy. … People need to respect their elders some more. I don’t like people calling me “bro.” … I want to see college students work harder. … I don’t want to see mediocrity no more in this world. …
first to endorse it. Wood said during Tuesday’s meeting, which was the Faculty Senate’s first meeting of the semester, that the regent selection process in place now doesn’t take into consideration the administration and faculty’s concerns, since the governor nominates all regent candidates. “That sounds like an awesome power, but the trouble is if you’re
I feel like we should excel as a culture, a civilization, as a nation, as a whole. I want to see my African-American people step up to the plate, be more unified. We’re not as strong as we used to be during the civil rights days, during the movement.” He said it can be overwhelming to worry about everyone else’s inactions and personal flaws, but he still feels a calling to help humanity in a big way. “I want to be that hero. I want to be that guy, ‘When we were down, he got us out of that situation,’ just that one person who doesn’t give up and is trying to put a smile on everybody’s face,” Curtis said. “… Everybody needs to take responsibility for their actions. To always have to take responsibility is overwhelming at times, but that’s what drives (me). Some people don’t care. And I can be someone who does care. My instructor said, ‘We need more people in the world like you.’ It felt nice to hear that.” He said he is one of three African-American students in the architecture school, which seems to be growing in a promising direction, although there are cultural insensitivities he can’t help but notice.

NEW YORK — The planned mosque and Islamic center blocks from ground zero got a new boost Wednesday from a coalition of supporters that includes families of Sept. 11 victims. New York Neighbors for American Values rallied for the first time at a municipal building near ground zero. “I lost a 23-year-old son, a paramedic who gave his life saving Americans and their values,” Talat Hamdani said, and supporting the Islamic center and mosque “has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with standing up for our human rights, including freedom of religion.” Among the nearly 2,800 people killed when the World Trade Center was attacked in 2001 were more than 30 Muslims, she noted. Opponents of the Islamic center project argue it’s insensitive to the families and memories of Sept. 11 victims to build a mosque so close. Supporters cite freedom of religion.
The new coalition was started by members of 40 civic and religious organizations that “spontaneously called each other, because we had the feeling that something very negative was happening,” said Susan Lerner, executive director of the New York office of the watchdog group Common Cause. The controversy was triggered by “irresponsible politicians” using it as an election issue, she said. Names mentioned at the rally included former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Republican, and the highest-ranking Democrat in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid. Gingrich has suggested that building the mosque near ground zero is akin to putting a Nazi sign “next to the Holocaust Museum.” Reid has broken ranks with President Barack Obama by saying he thinks the mosque should be built elsewhere. Coalition members are now contacting officials, asking them to support the project as a reflection of religious freedom and diversity, and the rejection of “crude stereotypes meant to frighten and
divide us.” They plan a candlelight vigil near ground zero on Sept. 10, the eve of the ninth Sept. 11 anniversary. “This is not just about Muslims; this is about who we are as Americans,” said Lerner, adding that to oppose the Islamic center is “a slippery slope. There will always be people who are offended standing next to people who are different from others.” Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director of New York’s Shalom Center, said the project will show the world a form of Islam that espouses peace — not the Islam of the terrorists. “It is right; it is wise to build it,” he told hundreds of people gathered under the arches of Manhattan’s Municipal Building, a short walk from ground zero. Several coalition members noted that the mosque site’s developer, Sharif el-Gamal, modeled it after the Jewish Community Center on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. It serves anyone who wishes to participate, they said, and so will the Muslim center near ground zero.

Monument unveils museum by Susan Montoya Associated Press
BANDELIER NATIONAL MONUMENT, N.M. — The canyons and cliff dwellings of Bandelier National Monument are telling a story, and this time it’s through the voices and artwork of the American Indian tribes whose ancestors inhabited this sliver of northern New Mexico. After nearly a decade of careful consultation with neighboring pueblos and a year of construction, the monument unveiled its $4 million renovated visitors’ center, museum and high-definition documentary with the help of pueblo dancers and artists in a
celebration Wednesday. The renovation was done with the hope that visitors will better understand the wilds of Bandelier and the pueblo people’s enduring connection to the place, said Rod Torrez, the monument’s chief of interpretation. “There really are few places where you have such a strong integrated viewpoint from the local tribes in an exhibit,” he said. “A lot of places just hang on to what they’ve had, and they might refresh their cases and things, but they’ve never gone that extra step. Here, I can walk through this museum and feel confident that what I’m looking at is something that’s accurate and true to the heart of
the people who are around here.” Nestled among pine trees and canyons made of welded volcanic tuff just south of Los Alamos, Bandelier was inhabited more than 10,000 years ago, back in the days of nomadic hunters. More permanent settlements began to pop up nearly 1,000 years ago, the remnants of which line the floor of Frijoles Canyon and are carved into its walls. Floyd Pecos, a former governor at Cochiti Pueblo, said the connection early Native Americans had with Bandelier still resonates deeply with his people, and it’s important for visitors to understand the people of Bandelier have not disappeared.

letters Rising book costs create demand for black market Editor, In the Daily Lobo article “Alleged textbook thief caught” on Aug. 24, the report quotes UNMPD Spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues as saying, “You can steal a $200 book and you can get $60.” I feel that the alleged thieves, if found guilty, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I do not advocate criminal activity in any way. When I first attended college in 1986, the most expensive textbooks cost about $25 to $50. So why are textbooks so expensive now? Perhaps bookstore companies know that many students are lacking funds and have to depend on federal and state student aid. By conveniently allowing students to charge against their expected aid, the Bookstore becomes many students sole resource for purchasing textbooks. Many bookstores, and the entire textbook publishing industry, do business that borders on racketeering. No textbook should cost $200 or more. Why do we need new editions of calculus books every few years or so? Calculus hasn’t changed much in the last several centuries, and what is taught and learned hasn’t changed at all in the last several decades. How about those $200 physics books that teach Newtonian Physics? Sir Isaac Newton passed away in 1727. Most of us know what this is really all about. It is quite shameful. This sort of behavior contributes to the United States’ lower population of people with higher academic degrees. Perhaps if textbooks were priced at fair, moral, reasonable prices, we would have less incentive for textbook theft. Also, Haarhues says, “Some kids can’t afford to buy the books, so they might steal.” This seems to be quite a sorry state of affairs.

Proposed mosque is hardly most offensive place on block Editor: The proposed mosque in New York City has unmasked that good, old-fashioned American racism. Nooses, burning crosses and apple pies aside, I would say that perhaps the protesters in New York City have a good point. On the same street of the proposed mosque, one can find an off-track betting shop or a nightclub populated by semi-naked women. God forbid that the gambler or the fornicator would have to share the same street as the man who prays five times a day or the women who covers her figure! Make no mistake about it; there is a battle taking place in New York City between good and evil. Which side are you on? Muhajir Romero UNM student

Change in Oval Office doesn’t change U.S. policies Editor, If the last two years has taught us anything, it should be that the President of the United States does not actually run the country, set policy or enforce the rule of law, despite what we’ve been led to believe all our lives. He is merely a figurehead whose main purpose is to make flowery speeches and act as a cheerleader for the military industrial corporate complex that actually dictates our nation’s policies. I can’t believe that this realization would come as a shock to anyone who has been paying attention lately, especially to those poor souls who thought that “Change we can believe in” actually meant there would be some sort of positive change to this country’s dangerous, destructive policies. A lot of young voters are probably disgusted at this perceived betrayal, but I’m convinced this was part of the overall plan to finally put an end to any form of political

activism in America by demonstrating once and for all the utter futility of hoping for a better future in this country. The joke is on them for thinking they could alter the disastrous path our country is taking by simply voting. It’s become plainly obvious that Democrats and Republicans all work for the same team — the War Party — and that nothing is ever going to change. I realize that the Glenn Beck cult wants to blame all of our problems on President Obama, but that is clearly just a short-sighted, ignorant and racist viewpoint — despite their protestations to the contrary. Race-baiters and hate-mongers like Beck and Limbaugh have been busy turning their worshippers against fellow Americans instead of against the war profiteers, corporate shills and Zionists who are working diligently to destroy our way of life. That’s how good propaganda works: Divert criticism from the true enemies of the state and blame the scapegoats for everything. Do Beck or Limbaugh ever mention the profoundly detrimental effects our pointless, lost wars have on our economy? Do they ever talk about how globalization has
sucked all of the jobs out of the country? Or how the destruction of the labor unions and the lack of decent wages have decimated the middle class? Do they ever mention the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers or the criminality of the Federal Reserve System? Of course not, because they’re apologists for Wall Street and corporate America, and they put the needs of soulless, criminal multinational corporations above the needs of their own people every single time. They’re perfectly happy spending another trillion dollars to kill people in far-away countries who pose absolutely no threat to us, as long as the money isn’t being used to pay for much-needed social programs and infrastructure here at home that could benefit everyone. Why, that would be socialism! And if we dare question the incredibly bloated “defense” budget, or the need for never-ending wars for profit, they label us unpatriotic, all while they refer to President Obama as Hitler. Funny thing, that is.

PITTSBURGH — An Indiana man created a Facebook page in the name of an ex-girlfriend he raped in Ohio, then used it to stalk a more recent ex in Pennsylvania and threaten to distribute a secretly filmed video of them having sex if she didn’t return to him, police said. Travis Allen Davis, 23, of New Castle, Ind., has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer has said he intends to prove his innocence. Davis was arrested Aug. 15 outside the second ex-girlfriend’s home in Delmont, about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, after someone called 911 to report a man sleeping in a suspicious vehicle outside, police said. He had a .45-caliber pistol, three magazines of bullets and a box cutter, and the car had a stolen Pennsylvania license plate taped over the Indiana plate on his car, police said. “With the call to 911 and their quick response, I believe they saved this girl from being harmed,” Police Chief Timothy Klobucar said Wednesday. Davis had created a Facebook profile in the name of another exgirlfriend, a woman he had raped in Preble County, Ohio, and used it to contact the Pennsylvania woman and her current boyfriend’s family, police said. A week before his arrest, police contend Davis sent the Pennsylvania woman a video of him having sex with her when both still lived in Indiana. The woman “never knew that this video was filmed in the first place

and obviously never gave consent to send the video to anyone,” a criminal complaint said. Davis threatened in an e-mail to “send the video to everyone if she did not return to Indiana for him,” a criminal complaint said. A few days later, the Pennsylvania woman received a friend request from a Facebook page Davis created using the identity of his Ohio rape victim, also an ex-girlfriend, police said. Davis — pretending to be the Ohio woman — threatened to send the video to the Pennsylvania woman’s current boyfriend if she did not move to Indiana, the complaint said. Davis, still posing as the woman he raped, then messaged the Pennsylvania woman and told her he would keep the video a secret if she agreed to a “sexy video chat” with her ex-boyfriend over the Internet. Police say the Pennsylvania woman consented to the chat Aug. 12. The next day, Davis called the woman claiming that his Facebook alter ego had sent him the video and “advised her, in sum and substance, that it may be in her best interest to return to Indiana,” the complaint said. On Aug. 14, nude images of the Pennsylvania woman were sent from the Facebook page to the woman and her boyfriend’s mother, police said. Authorities said they have contacted Davis’ accuser in Ohio, who confirmed the Facebook page wasn’t hers. The Associated Press generally does not identify people alleging sexual assault. Davis remained jailed Wednesday, a day after his preliminary hearing on the Pennsylvania charges was postponed until Sept. 7.

destroyed in the building, as the fire continued throughout the day, filling the streets with heavy smoke. “In order to determine the scope of the damage, UNM HSC activated its emergency operations command (EOC) to address immediate patient care and staff needs and to complete an inventory of the records lost in the fire,” Porto said. The fire continued to smolder until July 3, until it reignited and burned for another 26 hours. As a result, firefighters soaked with water the remaining contents to prevent further damage. The warehouse stored patient medical records from the UNM HSC created before 2005, when the hospitals switched to digital record storage. HSC also began scanning old records into a digital format five years ago, Porto said, but it is still unknown how much of the lost records were scanned.

His attorney, Matthew Schimizzi, did not immediately return a message left Wednesday by the Associated Press seeking further comment. Davis pleaded guilty to rape in Ohio this month and is scheduled to be sentenced for that on Oct. 5, according to online court records. He was armed when he broke into the Ohio woman’s home last year, handcuffing and then raping her. District Judge Charles Conway on Tuesday in Pennsylvania ordered Davis to undergo a mental health evaluation and raised his bail from $10,000 to $75,000, over Schimizzi’s objection. Davis is charged with stalking, transmitting obscene images, loitering, criminal coercion, carrying an unlicensed firearm and other crimes.

have been worse. “We are deeply saddened by this unfortunate event,” he said in a press release. “Had we not dedicated ourselves to switching to a totally digital record system five years ago, this could have been far worse.” The warehouse, owned by a Texas landlord, was leased by a private contractor under contract with the HSC and UNMH to store records. The damaged and destroyed records at the warehouse site were secured immediately after the fire was initially extinguished and have been secure ever since, an HSC statement said. Damaged records will be disposed of according to the requirements set forth in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. HSC has developed procedures to inform people who request copies of past medical records that the records were destroyed in the fire and give them a document certifying that fact.

Library donates Nazi papers by John Rogers Associated Press
SAN MARINO, Calif. — The Nuremberg Laws, the documents that took away Jews’ rights to German citizenship and laid the groundwork for the execution of 6 million people during the Holocaust, were turned over to the National Archives on Wednesday. The Huntington, a sprawling complex of libraries, museums and botanical gardens located in the rolling hills of this wealthy Los Angeles suburb, has had charge of the original papers since Gen. George Patton quietly deposited them there at the end of World War II. Patton, who disobeyed orders by taking the papers out of the Germany, grew up in San Marino and was friends with the family of Henry Huntington, the California railroad baron who carved The Huntington out of the grounds of his estate. U.S. Archivist David Ferriero said he hopes to put the papers on display in Washington, D.C., by Sept. 15, the 75th anniversary of their signing by Adolf Hitler. The Huntington turned over two sets of the laws, each four pages long and signed. They are the only ones known to exist. One set, which appeared to be in mint condition, was displayed at a news conference where they were formally handed over. “The National Archives is the country’s leading research library,” Huntington President Steve S. Koblik told reporters. “We were very proud to be able to hand over the documents in pristine condition.” The papers, which among
Regents
other things rescinded the citizenship of German Jews and forbid them to marry non-Jews, are the only original pieces of Nuremberg war crimes trial evidence missing from the Archives’ collection, said National Archives spokeswoman Susan Cooper. Holocaust scholars have described them as priceless, saying they provide an outline of the beginnings of a movement that led to the Nazi genocide. Although the laws didn’t directly call for the execution of Jews, they laid the groundwork for that, several scholars said, by marginalizing a group of people, turning them into second-class citizens. “It’s important to our understanding of genocide that genocide is always a process,” said Stephen Smith, executive director of the University of Southern California’s Shoah Foundation Institute, which documents evidence of the Holocaust. “That was not an order to murder the Jews, it was an order to exclude them from participation in society,” Smith said of the Nuremberg Laws. “Once you start excluding a group for whatever reason you are on the path to the ultimate exclusion.” The papers were given to Patton by U.S. soldiers who found them in a German bank vault. He should have passed them on to investigators compiling evidence to be used during Nazi war crimes trials held in Nuremberg after the war, said Greg Bradsher, director of the Holocaust records section of the National Archives. Instead, prosecutors used photocopies. “But it certainly would have
been more dramatic and effective to have confronted the defendants with the originals,” Bradsher said. Patton, a notorious war souvenir hunter, also brought back Nazi helmets and daggers and a pristine copy of Hitler’s autobiography “Mein Kaumpf.” He donated the latter to The Huntington in memory of his father, but Koblik said Patton never specified what to do with the Nuremberg Laws. “He said when he returned he would decide,” Koblik said. Months later, in December 1945, he died of injuries suffered in a traffic accident. The Huntington kept the papers in a bombproof vault for decades before lending them to Los Angeles’ Skirball Cultural Center in 1999. The center, whose mission is to promote Jewish culture and heritage, returned them last year, and Huntington officials decided to pass them on to the National Archives. The Huntington, known for such treasures as its priceless Gutenberg Bible and early editions of the works of Shakespeare and Chaucer, never put the papers on display. “For us to keep the Nuremberg Laws made little sense,” Koblik said. “We do not collect on 20th century Germany.”

sity. And frankly, New Mexico needs a really thriving research university that is built by faculty, regents and administration coming together and serving the academic mission.” Pamela Pyle, a member of the Faculty Senate’s operations committee, said not everyone is in favor of abandoning the current system. “I actually spoke with a regent last year and asked him if he thought
there needed to be a different criteria for regents rather than just sort of haphazardly (picking them), she said. “And he said, ‘Absolutely not,’” But the move has the backing of Gov. Bill Richardson. Richardson is expected to endorse the proposal as early as today, according to a memo sent to all Faculty Senate members by the Senate Operations Committee.

MEXICO CITY — A Mexican drug cartel massacred 72 Central and South American migrants within 100 miles of the U.S. border that they were trying to reach, according to an Ecuadorean survivor who escaped and stumbled wounded to a highway checkpoint where he alerted marines, official said Wednesday. The marines fought the cartel gunmen at a ranch in the northern state of Tamaulipas on Tuesday, a battle that left one marine and three suspects dead. They found the bodies of 58 men and 14 women in a room, some piled on top of each other. The Ecuadorean migrant told investigators that his captors identified themselves as members of the Zetas drug gang, said Vice Adm. Jose Luis Vergara, a spokesman for the Mexican Navy. Authorities believe the migrants were from Honduras, El Salvador, Brazil and Ecuador. It is the biggest massacre to date in Mexico’s drug war and the most horrifying example yet of the dangers faced by immigrants trying to get to the U.S. “It’s absolutely terrible and it demands the condemnation of all of our society,� said Alejandro Poire, the government’s security spokesman. Authorities did not say why the gang killed the migrants. Mexico’s drug cartels frequently kidnap migrants and threaten to kill them unless they pay fees for crossing their territory. Sometimes, gangs contact relatives of the migrants in the U.S. and demand they pay a ransom. The bodies were discovered Tuesday when Marines manning a checkpoint were approached by a wounded man who said he had been attacked by gang gunmen at a nearby ranch. Officials said he identified himself an illegal migrant and said that he and other migrants had been kidnapped by an armed group and taken to the ranch in San Fernando, a town
about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Brownsville, Texas. The scale of the massacre of migrants appeared to be unprecedented even by the gruesome standards of Mexican drug cartels. It was unclear if all 72 were killed at the same time — or why. A federal official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said investigators believe the victims were killed within recent days. The Navy said it dispatched aircraft to check out the man’s report and when the gunmen saw the marines, they opened fire and tried to flee in a convoy of vehicles. One marine and three of the suspects were killed in the shootout. Navy personnel seized 21 assault rifles, shotguns and rifles, and detained a minor. The youth, who was apparently part of the gang, was handed over to civilian prosecutors. It was the third time this year that Mexican authorities have discovered large masses of corpses. In the other two cases, investigators believe the bodies were dumped at the sites over a long time. In May, authorities discovered 55 bodies in an abandoned mine near Taxco, a colonial-era city south of Mexico City that is popular with tourists. In July, investigators found 51 corpses in two days of digging in a field near a trash dump outside the northern metropolis of Monterrey. Many of those found were believed to have been rival traffickers. But cartels often dispose of the bodies of kidnap victims in such dumping grounds. The region has been besieged by a turf battle between the Zetas and their former ally, the Gulf cartel. Mexico’s drug violence has surged since President Felipe Calderon dispatched soldiers and federal police to root out drug traffickers from their strongholds in northern Mexico and along the Pacific coast. More than 28,000 people have been killed in drug-gang violence since the offensive began.

On the other side of the fence by Andrew Beale
culture@dailylobo.com Editor’s note: The opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author. Our immigration policy is a mess. I know this because I’ve seen its effects first hand. The Cross-Border Issues Group, a journalism program at UNM, travels every summer to Mexico and Central America to study, well, cross-border issues – that is to say, immigration. One thing is made clear to everyone who travels with the group: The current immigration policy in the United States constitutes a horrible violation of human rights. Every single day, people are killed trying to enter our country. Their only crime was searching for an honest job. Many come to our country fleeing violence spread by narcotraffickers and gangsters. Since their passage is made illegal, they are forced to expose themselves to further violence while attempting to cross the border. The level of violence in Mexico and Latin America is escalating every day, thanks in large part to U.S. policy. All of this is common knowledge, known by everyone from
politicians to pundits. But the CrossBorder Issues Group trip opened my eyes to some more obscure facts of border policy and Hispano American culture: Restrictive immigration policies encourage organized crime. Los Zetas, an enforcement group for a drug cartel, regularly attacks trains to steal phone numbers. In case that doesn’t make sense, here’s a little background: Mexico’s immigration policy mirrors ours. Unemployed citizens of Central American countries (in other words, the ones that most need to make the trip north) are rarely given Visas to travel or work in Mexico, meaning that before they get anywhere near the U.S. border, they have to illegally cross the border in southern Mexico. Then they have to cross all of Mexico to reach the United States. Trains are the most common means of travel when crossing Mexico illegally. Undocumented migrants, of course, have neither the money nor the necessary paperwork to ride a passenger train. So they climb on top of cargo trains. Almost everyone I spoke to who had ridden on top of a train was attacked by the Zetas. They come out of the jungle and jump onto the train, forcing the passengers off. Many
migrants die during these attacks. The Zetas empty everyone’s pockets, stealing everything of value. The main prize they are looking for is a phone number of a friend or relative in the U.S. Phone numbers are like gold to the Zetas, because they allow a profit to be made from a kidnapping. Without phone numbers, there are no loved ones to extort for money in exchange for a prisoner’s release. It’s impossible to estimate how much money the Zetas make doing this, but given the number of attacks (hundreds a year, at least) it’s clearly a profitable business. The sane observer will immediately note that, were the people on the trains allowed to cross legally, this particular market would disappear, thereby draining power from one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Latin America. It’s important to remember that the victims in this situation, the migrants, are not criminals. They simply want to work.
Andrew Beale / Daily Lobo
It’s our government’s fault that so many Central Americans leave their countries.
Fog rolls into a cornfield in the countryside near Tegucigalpa.
Examples of this can be counted by the hundreds, so I’ll focus on the clear-cut story of the Maras in Honduras. A mara is a street gang, making
money through robbery, kidnapping and assassinations. Thirty years ago, they did not exist. Although they are now based in Central American countries, such as Honduras and El Salvador, their roots can be traced to Los Angeles. In the 80s, a tightening of immigration policy created a new social class in L.A.: undocumented Hispano Americans. They couldn’t legally work in the United States, and they were often afraid to send their children to school in case they were discovered as illegals. The situation created an incentive for adults unable to find work and marginalized teenagers with low levels of education to turn to criminal activities. Two principal gangs emerged among undocumented immigrants in California: MS-13 and Calle 18. When members of these gangs were caught, they were summarily deported back to their “home” countries. Since many of them had come to the U.S. as infants, they were often without contacts once deported to Central America. So, in order to survive, they relied on each other, and the gangs were transported to Central America as their members were deported from the U.S. Honduras has one of the countries with the highest concentrations of Maras — almost everyone you meet has had contact with them. The streets of Tegucigalpa, Honduras’ largest city, are deserted as soon as the sun goes down. The nights belong to the Maras, and anyone not affiliated with them

knows not to risk being caught on the street at 8 p.m. Most of the Honduran migrants we spoke with were fleeing their country to escape the Maras. The typical story is “There is no work in Honduras. The only way I could make enough money to eat was to go to work for the Maras. I knew I had to do things I didn’t want to in order to survive, but when they asked me to kill my brother (or a policeman, a little girl, etc.) I couldn’t do it. When I told them no, they said they would kill me. So I left.” These people joined gangs because they had no other option. There was no other source of money in their country. And when they decided they couldn’t do it anymore, they had no option but to leave. Thanks to U.S. and Mexican immigration policy, this decision is also criminalized. Deporting them has a nil-net effect. “What will you do if you’re caught and deported?” “Well, I will come back, of course. I cannot stay in Honduras or I will be killed.” Also common: “This is the third time I’ve made the journey. I will come back again and again each time I’m deported. I have no other choice.” Current immigration policy is unsustainable, in all senses of the word. We will run out of money if we keep building border defenses at

the rate we are now. Various studies have estimated that the number of Border Patrol agents needed to actually secure our southern border is roughly equal to the number of troops currently deployed in Iraq. The wall along the border costs an estimated $3 million dollars per mile, according to a 2006 NPR report. Border Patrol agents say the net effect of the wall, a small obstacle compared to the dangers already inherent in the passage, is to delay migrants by about five minutes. Between bank bailouts and two wars, we don’t have anywhere near enough money to build the entire wall and staff the border to capacity. Our efforts at border security are analogous to Don Quixote tilting at windmills — police action against people that are not criminals, with no effect on the numbers actually coming over. We will not stop people from migrating here. We will not be able to deport everyone who is already here. Our efforts are worthless. Remittances home, or in other words people sending money to their families, accounted for, at a low estimate, $21.5 billion in Mexico in 2009. Our economy is inextricably linked to theirs, starting with oil and moving on down from there. If Mexico stops receiving that money, the chain reaction will cer-
tainly set off another financial crisis here. Finally, this policy is unsustainable because people will not accept being treated like this forever. These are honest people treated like criminals on the basis of their place of birth and the color of their skin. There are millions and millions of them. More come every day. They represent a fast growing minority that will not be abused forever. The beginnings of a new civil rights movement are being sparked right now in Latino communities across the country. Maybe SB1070 in Arizona will turn out to be the tipping point that changes our immigration policy forever, or maybe it will be the next high-profile racial/fascist measure. But change is coming. A big problem with the debate on immigration reform is that it’s impossible to describe how horrible the situation actually is. There’s just no way to communicate the feeling of talking with a 19-year-old who lost his leg falling off the train. Words simply cannot express how depressing it is to see this giant wave of people starving and crippled, with very little hope that
things are going to get better. Without actually meeting them, you will never understand exactly how horrible one’s life must be in order for them to make the decision to leave their home, to embark on this journey that will probably maim or kill them. There’s no possibility of conveying the sadness of some of these stories: the guy who escaped his kidnappers only to be lost in the Arizona desert without water for five days; the soft-spoken, kind-hearted man whose jaw was broken in four places when gangsters stole his backpack. Without speaking to them, the point will never be driven home that things cannot continue like this. It’s too horrible to believe that our country will keep supporting the conditions that do this to innocent people. There’s an important corollary to this fact. If you don’t speak Spanish, you should keep your mouth shut about immigration. You are incapable of understanding the words of the principal actors shaping these events. You are therefore unable to formulate a valid opinion. Please shut up. The world will be a better place if you do.

New Mexico Daily Lobo
Undeniably Unique by Sue Major Holmes Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. — For centuries, New Mexico has been home to a distinctive tradition of painting Catholic saints in simple portraits, rather than adhering to the elaborate styles of European art. Some critics have said the paintings resulted from untrained Spanish artists doing the best they could. But the curator of the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art never accepted that argument. Instead, Robin Farwell Gavin believes artists chose to adopt artistic traditions of Native Americans instead of the baroque styles brought to early New Mexico from the outside world. That illustrates the message of cultural exchange behind “Converging Streams: Art of the Hispanic and Native American Southwest,” an exhibit that runs through September at the museum. Part of the show will come down at the end of August. “If we really start to open our eyes to what’s happening with these art forms, it’s bringing us a whole different aspect of the story of the history here in New Mexico,” said Gavin, who curated the exhibit with independent curator William Wroth. The show and a book by the same
title examine contributions made by diverse cultures to early New Mexico architecture, weaving, woodwork, leatherwork, textiles, pottery, metalwork and religious art. New Mexico today is known for its santos, or carved statues of saints, and retablos, two-dimensional paintings of saints on wooden boards. “Converging Streams” includes both a 15th-century ancestral pueblo wall painting and a traditional 19th-century Hispanic retablo that show rigidly posed flat figures, outlined in black, holding ceremonial items. The earliest saints from New Mexico were painted in a three-dimensional baroque style, then artists progressively moved to the more abstract, two-dimensional style, Gavin said. From a traditional Western point of view, they seemed to be going backward. “Our premise here is that this style is a choice,” Gavin said. “It wasn’t because the artist didn’t know how to draw or how to carve, but that they were actually choosing to use a style that was part of the community in which they were living and had been developed by that community.”

Jay LaPrete / AP Photo Rev. Richard Mahan, lead pastor at St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Charleston, W.Va., stands outside the church where Lutheran pastors are preparing for the formation of the new North American Lutheran Church in Hilliard, Ohio.
Mon - Fri 11:30 - 3:30; 5 - 8:30; Sat Noon - 8:00
MINNEAPOLIS — Richard Mahan and Anita Hill are both Lutheran pastors who were inside a Minneapolis convention hall last summer when delegates for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to allow non-celibate gay and lesbian pastors. Afterward, each cried for different reasons. Mahan, lead pastor at St. Timothy in Charleston, W.Va., said he cried because he realized he would likely leave the denomination in which he had invested 42 years of ministry. For Hill, the openly gay lead pastor at St. Paul-Reformation in St. Paul, they were tears of “joy and relief.” A year later, the ELCA is moving gay pastors into its fold — it’s now the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. to allow noncelibate gays into its ranks — even as the most visible dissidents strike out on their own. Mahan and other critics of the decision plan to gather this week in Columbus, Ohio, for another Lutheran convention. Leaders of 18 former ELCA churches are expected to vote Friday to create a brand new Lutheran denomination that they claim will follow the Scriptures more faithfully: the North American Lutheran Church. “The issue is departure from the word of God,” Mahan said. His church has already voted twice to end its longtime identity as a ELCA church, also ending an annual $36,000 in tithing to the denomination. Meanwhile, Hill will finally join the official roster of ELCA pastors. She was ordained in 2001, but she had been kept off the roster because she lived openly with her lesbian partner, with whom she’d shared a commitment ceremony in 1996. That meant she was not eligible for the full housing allowance and retirement benefits and could not be a voting delegate to churchwide assemblies. Next month, Hill and two other lesbian pastors will gather to receive the ELCA’s newly designed Rite of Reception and officially join the roster of the St. Paul Synod. The St. Paul bishop will “lay on hands,” Hill said, in a ceremony that is becoming more frequent around the country. Seven gay and transgender pastors were received last month in San Francisco. Similar ceremonies are planned soon in Minneapolis and Chicago. “At my church there is a sense of great celebration, of people being very happy that our work to make the ELCA a more inclusive place has come to fruition,” Hill said. Her denomination will be slightly smaller: As of early August, 199 congregations had cleared the hurdles to leave the ELCA for good, while another 136 awaited the second vote needed to make it official. In all there are 10,239 ELCA churches with about 4.5 million members, making it still by far the largest Lutheran denomination in the U.S. And the breakaway members gathering in Ohio will face their own challenges if they vote to start another denomination at a time when attendance at mainline Protestant churches is falling and denominational distinctions appear irrelevant to a growing number of churchgoers. But pastors in a few churches that plan to join the North American Lutheran Church say there are still good reasons to be part of a larger church body.
“For a lot of congregations and a lot of churchgoers, there is value in a larger Lutheran fellowship,” said the Rev. Mark Braaten, pastor at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Tyler, Texas, another charter member of the new denomination. About 75 percent of the churches that already left the ELCA have affiliated with Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ — another, smaller denomination. But the Rev. Mark Chavez, Lutheran CORE’s director, said some Lutherans found that denomination too loosely structured and wanted a choice that retained aspects of the ELCA identity. Some ELCA refugees have a more bottom-line reason to join a new denomination. Under many church constitutions, congregations that leave the ELCA and try to strike out as a wholly independent church could actually see their ELCA synod council assert legal ownership of their property and church buildings. “People don’t see it as too likely, but it’s not a discussion too many want to have,” Braaten said. So why go through the hassles, especially when even critics of the ELCA’s more liberalized policy admit that no congregations are likely to be compelled to install a gay pastor? “I don’t think it’s the issue of whether someone is going to have a gay pastor forced upon their church, as much a question of what a straight pastor is going to be teaching,” said the Rev. David Baer, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Whitewood, S.D., another charter member of the new denomination. “What’s God’s intention for marriage, for sexuality? The concern is the ELCA is trading in its teaching and losing its grounding in scripture and no longer having a moral center.” Organizers of the new denomination will reveal on Friday its 18 charter churches — a number they hope will grow to 200 or more within a year. Earlier this month, the ELCA reported a nearly 3 percent drop in total receipts for its congregations from 2008 to 2009, and a decline in membership of 90,850 people. Three times since April 2009, the ELCA’s council cut the denomination’s budget by a total of $17.5 million and eliminated the equivalent of nearly 76 full-time jobs. ELCA spokesman John Brooks said departures over the new clergy policy played a part in the picture but that the bad economy has also been a major factor in the denomination’s financial struggles. Hill, who in her early days at the church helped found a ministry for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, said she was disheartened by the departing churches. “There are some who feel they must leave the ELCA over that,” she said. “I feel sad about that, it’s unfortunate. But to feel you have to leave over the inclusion of your brothers and sisters — that diminishes who we are as the body of Christ.”

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE SPORTSMANSHIP INITIATIVE
August 23, 2010
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,
Daniel Hulsbos / Daily Lobo Bryan Jurus (far right), director of Student Special Events, talks with students in the SSE office downstairs in the SUB about ideas they have for upcoming events on campus. In the photo from, left to right, are students Jeff Gallegos and Alex Borowski.

CAMPUS EVENTS
Fewer events to pack more punch by Chris Quintana
culture@dailylobo.com Bryan Jurus is taking the helm of Student Special Events and ushering in some changes while modifying some old favorites. See what the man behind some of UNM’s trendiest and happening events has to say about the upcoming year and his future plans for Student Special Events. Daily Lobo: First off, congratulations on your new position as the director of Student Special Events. It must be exciting. But what’s different? What do you have planned for the year? Bryan Jurus: SSE is going to have a bit of a new face. The things to expect are maybe not as many little events, but bigger events. We’re sitting on something like two big events, probably starting in September, and just going with it from there. That’s kind of how we were revamping it. We want to do the bigger stuff. We understand that clubs and organizations do the smaller stuff, and we want what we do to be exceptional and a step above. DL: So what does that mean for the old stuff? BJ: Oh yeah, we are still going to have the major events. We will have the drag show. We’ll have Fiestas. Actually, the Fiestas booking is starting now. But, really, I don’t know why we couldn’t throw a monthly music concert that is really big. DL: That does sound pretty

exciting. I want to take a step back for a moment. Can you explain, for those who might be unfamiliar, what the SSE really does? BJ: SSE is basically an eyeopener. Student Special Events is here to bring everything outside of New Mexico into New Mexico, to broaden the student horizon. It’s all about stuff you wouldn’t see here. We try to make it an open door. Not a lot of kids can afford to go to Lollapalooza or South by Southwest, so what we do is try to bridge the gap between the two. So maybe we can’t afford headliners, but why can’t we pull two or three of the smaller acts on their tickets? Hopefully, we can bring that diversity to the school. So that’s kind of the approach to it. But you mentioned it: Student involvement is crucial to SSE. … Getting kids in here to participate makes what we can do more possible. It can really make a good event exceptional. The volunteers are what make it, and that’s our family. DL: So do you have any other big changes planned for the upcoming year? BJ: The whole marketing department: You should expect things like an iPhone app and a Droid app from SSE. You’re going to be able to see everything mobile. We’re trying to finally integrate the technology into how we reach the kids. Everyone knows how to use the Internet, and the idea of postering and flier-ing is almost dead, but, yeah, it still needs to be done.
DL: So that does include Facebook, too? Another group perhaps for events and the like? BJ: We kind of want to go beyond that. It’s already been done. I get on my Facebook, and there are 13 events every time. It’s almost a lost avenue of reaching people. It’s become bombarded, so a lot of people are turned off by it. We kind of want to go beyond that. We want to make a Google calendar that can sync with anyone else’s Google calendar, so it’s right there. We want to go to them instead of having them come to us. Another big change you’re going to see is student involvement. DL: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that. How was student involvement been in the past, and what do you hope for in the future? BJ: It’s — how I should put this — in years past it’s been increasing every year. There’s always been a lot, but in many ways I don’t want a group of five people to determine the lineup for Fiestas. I want the school to kind of pick what it wants to see on that lineup. And we are going to do our best to follow through on that. It’s one of those things. We want the students to make that decision, and then we want to facilitate that decision. And we are students as well, so we will throw input in, as well. Though, at the end of the day, if the students want someone big, then we are going to do our best to pull it off. That’s our approach to it.

Legendary trio to make metallic revival by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
The Clash of the Titans Tour in 1990, featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament was the premier thrash metal show at the time. But that was the 90s, so who cares? Twenty years later, the three bands are joining forces once again for the American Carnage Tour, which stops in Albuquerque tonight at Tingley Coliseum. Testament’s lead singer, Chuck Billy, said he is surprised he survived to perform this long. “We were living the fast life,” he said. “We drank hard. There was booze everywhere, and we didn’t really think about anything else but partying and playing music. There was so much abundance.” Now fans once again get to revel
Art
in the metal. To celebrate, Slayer will play “Seasons in the Abyss” in its entirety and Megadeth will perform 1990’s well-loved “Rust in Peace.” Billy said fans can anticipate a head-banging time. “Get ready for a pretty amazing show,” he said. Testament came out of the Bay Area metal scene that cultivated Metallica in 1983. The band was instantly noticed by those in the thrash metal circles after its first album, The Legacy, hit stores. Afterwards, the band padded its credentials touring with Anthrax. MTV and the rest of America took notice when the band released its third album, The New World Order. Testament has released nine albums, including The Formation of Damnation in 2008. During their 40-minute, eight-song set, fans can
expect to hear familiar tunes from the bands extensive catalogue. “We really try to spread it out, from the early to the mid to the current. We play the whole spectrum,” Billy said. “We’ve been touring for 25 years. We believe in what we play and stay true to what we believe. For three or four years, we have been touring with the original lineup.” Billy said it is a struggle to form a set list that pleases the crowd and is fulfilling to the band. “The first set we wrote was a selfish set,” he said. “We wrote what we want to play, but you have to play what the fans want to hear, even if you get tired of playing the same song.” Billy, who is from the Pomo tribe in northern California, was recently honored with a place in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian’s new exhibition.
This exhibition is called “Up Where We Belong: Native Musicians in Popular Culture.” “It’s an honor,” he said. “I’m really happy they acknowledged someone in the heavy metal field, to be acknowledged. I’m like, ‘Right on.’ Because I’m native, they’ll come out and support us. I’ve seen old women come to the shows.” To Billy, performing is a passion and to be acknowledged by a world famous museum like the Smithsonian makes his efforts worthwhile. “Performing is an escape and way to release energies. I’m definitely a different person when I perform,” he said. “The songs transform you and it changes you; it’s everything for me.” Testament is currently writing material for its next studio album that should come out early next year.
“We get the riff first, then work on the melody and start jamming it out,” he said. “We’ve been writing together for so long that it’s easy for us at this point.”

It flourished in a period when much of the Americas were breaking away from Spain and its political and social structure, including artistic guilds “which were telling them how to paint, what to paint, how to carve, what to carve,” she said. “That is what I think the art is telling us here, is that we’re saying no, ‘We’re not Spanish; we’re New Mexican.’ They were making a statement: ‘This is who we are,’” Gavin said. Estevan Rael-Galvez, a former New Mexico state historian who now heads the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, said people should look beyond “very static notions of identity.” He sees New Mexico as unique because of the particular cultures that converged in the Spanish colonial period. Still, “every place in what we now call the United States of America had indigenous people. ... There are mestizo stories or hybrid
stories everywhere in the United States. As a society we aren’t trained to look at those things, to understand what created them, what are the consequences of people coming together,” said Rael-Galvez, whose training is in cultural anthropology. One scholar traced the origins of the exhibit’s hide painting of Our Lady of the Assumption of Santa Maria la Redonda to a print distributed throughout Mexico, Gavin said. The artist who copied it, however, added a rainbow, step-terrace motifs and pueblo-style pots — images from Native American art. Nineteenth-century crosses show, not the crucifixion, but designs of lightning bolts and feathers. One combines a European rosette with lightning and stepped-terrace patterns. Leather pieces started out as Apache parfleches — decorated containers similar to saddlebags — but became covers for records of Roman Catholic baptisms and marriage
and burial records and a carrying case for a retablo. “Even though they were made by Native Americans, they were also obviously treasured by Spanish colonists and used to cover some of their most important documents,” Gavin said. Long before the Spanish, skilled weavers from Southwestern tribes used cotton and vegetable fibers. The Spanish brought wool, which was quickly adopted. A textile display traces a diamond design common to pieces of a cotton textile from Mexico, a Zuni blanket, a Hopi dress, a serape from Mexico, a Navajo saddle blanket, a Rio Grande blanket woven by early New Mexico Spanish weavers and a broken ancestral puebloan pot. The items date from as early as 1300 to the late 1800s. Sometimes the diamond design encapsulates an equilateral cross. While the cross was
a religious symbol to the Spanish, the equilateral cross dates well before the colonial period to represent the four directions. Even the naja, a horseshoe-shape familiar as the focal piece of Navajo squash blossom necklaces, was neither Navajo nor Spanish. It comes from the Islamic tradition, where it’s a symbol for good luck, Gavin said. The squash blossom itself started out as pomegranate blossoms, a design brought to the New World by the Spanish but originally Islamic, according to Gavin. The exhibit displays a Navajo squash blossom necklace and a Spanish necklace of shorter, fatter pomegranate blossoms. All those cultures contributed to New Mexico’s art, Gavin said. “You really can tell when you’re looking at a New Mexican piece,” she said. “That sense of place developed out of all these diverse influences.”

Dissident appeals to higher power by Andrea Rodriguez Associated Press
HAVANA — The Roman Catholic Church said Wednesday it has intervened again on behalf of a political dissident, this time helping the ailing son of one of Cuba’s top revolutionary heroes go to the United States for medical treatment. Juan Almeida Garcia is the son of Juan Almeida Bosque, who fought alongside Fidel Castro in the guerrilla uprising that brought down dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. The father was among Cuba’s ruling elite, sitting on the Communist Party’s Politburo and serving as a vice president on the Council of State, the island’s supreme governing body. When he died last September, at 82, he was given honors befitting his title as a “commander of the revolution.” But it has been a different story for the younger Almeida, a dissident who frequently criticizes the Castro government. In November he was detained by state security agents for three days after protesting not being allowed to leave the island for treatment. He was earlier arrested for attempting to leave Cuba illegally. Almeida, who worked for state security within the Interior Ministry in the 1990s, suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, a painful, progressive form of spinal arthritis. He has received treatment in Belgium in the past after receiving permission to leave Cuba. But authorities did not look as kindly on his efforts to travel to Los Angeles to see a doctor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. His family contacted Cardinal Jaime Ortega who “got involved in the matter” and personally
informed Almeida earlier this week that Cuba’s government had agreed to let him go to the U.S., church official Orlando Marquez said in a phone interview. Almeida had already obtained U.S. permission, but when he would leave for the United States was not immediately clear, Marquez said. Cubans wishing to leave the island must first obtain permission from the country they are visiting, then an exit visa. Doctors, scientists and other key personnel, as well as the relatives of leaders in sensitive military or political positions, are often denied permission for fear they will not return. Ortega’s efforts in the case were the latest example of the Catholic Church stepping in on behalf of Cuban dissidents. Last week, church officials successfully spoke to the government about calling off pro-government mobs that had broken up a weekly Sunday march by Reina Luisa Tamayo, mother of a political prisoner who died in February after a lengthy hunger strike. Also, for weeks in April government supporters broke up the traditional Sunday march in Havana of the Ladies In White, a support group for political prisoners, until Ortega met with Raul Castro. Authorities agreed to allow the march to continue as long as it did not deviate from its traditional route. On July 7, the church and the government announced a landmark deal whereby Cuba agreed to free 52 political prisoners rounded up during a sweeping government crackdown on dissent in 2003. So far, 32 former prisoners have been released with their relatives into exile in Spain.
