University Porterie will lead Lobo charge suspends its personal mail policy by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo

UNM Mailing Systems has suspended the policy that prevented Ph.D. candidate Nina Lanza from getting her tango shoes delivered at work. Debra Fondino, associate director of University Services, said the entire Mailing Systems policy manual — including Section 6340, which prohibits personal mail from being delivered through the University — is under revision and has been for the past six months. She said the policy was written in 1991 and is outdated. “We’ve submitted, as one of our goals this year, to revamp (the policies) and bring them to current day,” she said. “There was definite need. This (controversy) just prompted us to try and get it done more quickly.” Fondino said the whole policy manual will be revised as soon as possible. “We have agreed that we’d try to

As surely as Monday would follow Sunday, Donovan Porterie was going to be the UNM football team’s starting quarterback this season. If anyone doubted it, Porterie proved it throughout fall camp, the coaching staff said on Monday. Still, Monday’s official announcement was nothing more than a formality, which put to rest speculation about when Mike Locksley would make an announcement — not about whom he would name. After an extended period of posturing, Locksley declassified the starting quarterback documents, which he had guarded like the Holy Grail. No matter how many times he was interrogated by reporters, Locksley declined to divulge his “secret” — a secret that was about as common knowledge as water’s compound name. Several media outlets, including the Daily Lobo, projected Porterie would be the starter, but never received confirmation from the first-year head coach. In fact, Locksley was so tightlipped about it, he didn’t even tell Porterie that he was the starting quarterback before making the announcement. “I really wasn’t told until this afternoon,” Porterie said, adding that he found out from students on campus. “I was still kind of

skeptical then. (Locksley) still hasn’t told me.” Nonetheless, lighthearted Locksley put on a good show at the practice facility on Monday, saying he withheld the starting quarterback information because he was being meticulous. “As you get to know me, I’m going to take my time and make the right decision on every aspect of the program,” he said. “Sometimes you’re afforded the luxury of a little more time, like we’ve had.” In the end, that gave Porterie more time to recuperate from last year’s season-ending knee injury. Porterie is two seasons removed from a 3,000-yard season in which he tossed 15 touchdowns with nine interceptions and under former head coach Rocky Long guided the Lobos to their first bowl win in over 40 years, over Nevada. But last year, Porterie was lost early on, which led to a gloom-and-doom 4-8 year for the Lobos. Mechanically, Porterie has taken strides, improving his footwork and being more decisive with the ball when there has been pressure in camp. He said he has paid close attention to “setting up the team in the fourth quarter,” meaning being “efficient” and eliminating sacks, interceptions and mental lapses. Locksley said Porterie exemplified what the coaching staff was looking for in a quarterback. “He’s graded out the best,” he said. “He’s the guy that’s taken care of the football. He’s the guy that

has made the players around him better.” Whether Porterie was in a close race for starting quarterback or cruised in like Usain Bolt in the Olympics is still under wraps. “Whether it was close or (not), that doesn’t matter,” Locksley said. “A decision was made. There was a process in place to make the decision. Donovan came out as the guy that was most consistent.” So, perhaps that’s a question only time will answer – say, if Porterie doesn’t perform on the field. For now, Locksley said Porterie has plenty of leeway. “Donovan has our full support as our starting quarterback, as long as he goes out and does the things we know he’s capable of,” he said. “Then we don’t even have to talk about a leash.” And that’s the last thing Porterie wants to discuss. He’s content knowing he’s the Lobos’ guy, and he’s ready to put last year’s

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A Hamas spiritual leader on Monday called teaching Palestinian children about the Nazi murder of 6 million Jews a “war crime,” rejecting a suggestion that the U.N. might include the Holocaust in Gaza’s school curriculum. A senior Israeli official said such statements should make the West think twice about ending its boycott of Hamas, in place since the group seized Gaza by force in 2007. Israeli officials called the comments “obscene” and said they place Hamas in a pariah club of Holocaust deniers that includes Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Hamas spiritual leader Younis alAstal lashed out after hearing that the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the main U.N. body aiding Palestinian refugees, planned to introduce lessons about the Holocaust to Gaza students. Adding the Holocaust to the curriculum would amount to

“marketing a lie and spreading it,” al-Astal wrote in a statement. “I do not exaggerate when I say this issue is a war crime, because of how it serves the Zionist colonizers and deals with their hypocrisy and lies,” he wrote. A U.N. official said no decision has been made about introducing Holocaust education in Gaza. Many Palestinians are reluctant to acknowledge Jewish suffering, fearing it might diminish their own. Attitudes toward the Holocaust range from outright denial to challenging its scope. Hamas has been making overtures to the West, hoping to end a stifling blockade of Gaza. And the statements about the Holocaust by senior Hamas officials could undermine the group’s attempt to present itself as pragmatic. The U.S. and Europe list Hamas as a terror group, but there have been growing calls, particularly in Europe, to talk to the militants. Hamas control of Gaza is seen as a key

The Daily Lobo published an article on the issue Wednesday. “I’m very pleased that the Mailing Systems responded so swiftly to my issue,” she said. “I’m looking forward to seeing the new mailing policy when it is available.”

Fondino said Section 6340 is being suspended for 30 to 60 days pending the completion of the new Mailing Systems policy, but Carol Stephens, director of the UNM Policy Office, said the process might take longer than that. “That process, because it’s a pretty thorough review process, probably would take about three months from beginning to end,” she said. Stephens said the new Mailing Systems policy will be reviewed by organizations campuswide, like the Graduate and Professional Student

Association, Associated Students of UNM and the executive cabinet, before it reaches the president’s desk for approval. Fondino said she doesn’t know why Section 6340 was originally put in place, but she said there is still a need for some restriction on personal mail. “We have to discuss the fact that there could be items coming to the University that the University would not consider appropriate,” she said. “We have to make sure that we cover it in ways that will cover and protect everyone.”

Three teachers at U.N. schools said that according to the new program, basic information about the Holocaust was expected to be taught to eighth-grade students as part of human rights classes. Two of the teachers said they were told about the lesson plan by colleagues involved in the new syllabus. Another teacher said he attended a recent meeting with education officials where he was told to try to teach the new syllabus without offending parents’ sensibilities. All three said they had not received the syllabus for the human rights classes yet, even though the school year began in late August. They requested anonymity because they are not allowed to speak to reporters. UNRWA provides education, health care and welfare services to more than half of Gaza’s 1.4 million people. Spokesman Chris Gunness said a final decision has not been made about the Holocaust course for Gaza schools. “While the Holocaust is currently not included on the basis of age appropriateness, all elements (of the curriculum) remain under review and under evolution,” he said. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri also objected to including what he referred to as the “so-called Holocaust” in the lesson plan. “We think it’s more important to teach Palestinians the crimes of the Israeli occupation,” he said. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said countries contemplating ending their boycott of Hamas must “seriously reconsider” after the Hamas statements, which he described as “obscene.”

The Holocaust is not taught in West Bank schools, said an education ministry official in Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas’ government. Israelis have long complained that Palestinian textbooks present Israel only as an enemy, despite a series of interim peace deals. Also, they charge that maps in the books do not show Israel at all. Palestinians make similar charges about Israeli education. Recently, Israel’s education minister ordered a halt to using the accepted Arabic term “nakba,” or catastrophe, to describe the results of the two-year war that followed Israel’s creation, when about 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forced from their homes. The U.N. runs 221 schools in Gaza for more than 200,000 students and is the largest independent agency in the territory, controlled by Hamas since a violent takeover in 2007. The West Bank, the other territory that is supposed to help comprise a future Palestinian state, is controlled by Hamas’ Western-backed rivals of the Fatah movement led by President Mahmoud Abbas. Some 6 million Jews were killed in the Nazi campaign to wipe out European Jewry, and the urgent need to find a sanctuary for hundreds of thousands of survivors contributed to the creation of Israel after World War II. Many Palestinians are reluctant to acknowledge the full extent of the Holocaust because they feel it provided legitimacy for Israel’s establishment. A majority of Gaza’s 1.4 million people are Palestinian refugees or their descendants. Some parents opposed the idea of their children learning about the Holocaust. “I don’t want them teaching my children Jewish lies,”

Mohammed Silmi, 33, said Monday, after driving his son to a U.N. school in Gaza City on the back of a motorbike. “It will just be Zionist propaganda.” Hamas’ founding charter calls for Israel’s destruction, though senior Hamas officials have recently said they would accept a Palestinian state alongside Israel as an interim stage to full Islamic control of the region. Hamas is frequently at loggerheads with the U.N. refugee agency, which it considers the only serious challenge to its control of Gaza. Over the summer, Hamas accused the U.N. of spreading “immorality” in summer camps for children, because it offered activities such as folk dancing and crafts.

Letters Veterans benefits a form of socialism, should be ended Editor, Veterans benefits are a form of socialism. No other employer besides the government is either obligated or able to pay lifetime pensions, subsistence and health care benefits to all of its present and former employees, much less entitled to tax everyone else to pay whatever it costs. A system of hospitals on the federal budget that offer free medical care only to a group of present or former employees of the government in certain capacities is a form of socialism. I’m not saying that as an indictment, but as a fact. The active socialists in America want something just like that — a system of hospitals exactly like the VA, but where any citizen can go. The loss of profit to our medical industry, pharmaceutical industry and insurance industry, and the lenders to whom their companies are mortgaged, would surely destroy our free-market economy. So why should paying veterans benefits be tolerated? Why are veterans selected for what are, after all, socialist entitlements? What is there about being a veteran that should justify a person’s being placed for life in a certain category of beneficiary of federal funds? Whether drafted or volunteered, this is presumably a reward for placing one’s life at risk for the flag, notwithstanding the fact that many veterans’ jobs did not place them at risk at all. Likewise, many in other state and private jobs must risk their lives every day, and they are not being given those benefits. What makes being a veteran so special? Is it merely a propaganda gesture, a show of “honor” so as to motivate the next generation of sacrifices? You who would like to put an end to “socialism in America,” and an end to the socialist practice of exclusive medical entitlements given only to congressmen and certain other government ex-employees, should begin by demanding that the term “veteran” be discontinued, and that no federal funds or other benefits or advantages be given to a person merely because of that qualification. Wearing any government uniform is a job, risky or not, armed or not, and as in the private sector, no employer should be obligated (much less entitled) to pay anything to its exemployees. You should insist that the VA hospitals in America are a form of socialized medicine, which give exclusive favor to certain ex-employees of the government, at the expense of the private-sector businessman and taxpaying employee, and the program should immediately be discontinued, and the assets sold to the private sector for honest competition in the free market.

Column

Creating a future for journalism by Richard Becker UWire

The history of the newspaper stretches back to the turn of the 17th century, but now Americans are watching that proud tradition disintegrate. Across America, newspapers large and small, independent and corporate, liberal and conservative are collapsing at an alarming rate. The results have been rampant consolidation, the laying off of entire wings of reporters and other staff, and the complete elimination of a print edition, as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has done. The so-called “death of print,” or, more specifically, the “death of newspapers,” has become a topic de rigueur among journalists, intellectuals and bloggers. The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz, in a piece fittingly titled “The Death of Print,” wrote in the spring of this year that “the online cacophony that would follow the demise of newspapers would be fast, furious and fun, insightful and opinionated.” But, he worries, who would pay for the bureaus, the reporters, the concrete and significant expenses of the journalistic craft? Rather than bemoan the newspaper’s demise, we must instead proactively consider the possibilities for its replacement. If we are to maintain our democratic state in any sort of working form, it will be necessary to maintain some form of journalism. I needn’t rehash here all the reasons why it would be a disaster for our nation if newspapers continued to crumble without a similar institution to take up their charge; these reasons have already been fully enumerated elsewhere by greater experts than me. Our generation faces a fork in the road: continue down the path of the traditional newspaper,

which has devolved into a crass enterprise in which advertising revenue dictates content, or forge a new path governed by public interest, mutual cooperation, citizen participation and small-“d” democracy. Let me emphasize at the outset that in no way do I mean to suggest that profit is an inherently bad thing — it is obvious that our economy could not rightly function without the incentive of profit — but so long as journalistic decisions are in the hands of corporate lions whose only language is the dollar sign, journalism, and thus democracy, will suffer. Fortunately for those of us engaged in the exercise of dreaming up the future face of journalism, the path before us has already been tread. Writer Clay Shirky has considered the situation at great length. “No one experiment,” Shirky writes on his blog www. shirky.com, “is going to replace what we are now losing with the demise of news on paper, but over time, the collection of new experiments that do work might give us the journalism we need.” The point is that there will almost certainly not be an overnight solution to the dire crisis journalism is facing. This much should be abundantly clear. As scary as it may seem, what is required of us is daring and experimentation; we must be willing to jump out of the plane without knowing for sure whether the parachute works. Perhaps the greatest example so far of a successful and profitable post-newspaper news-gathering and muckraking operation is the popular Web site TalkingPointsMemo. com. More than a mere blog, TPM, under the leadership of founder Josh Marshall has, over the years, evolved into a massive multimedia operation with a staff of nearly a dozen,

complete with a full-time Washington bureau and a daily readership in the millions. It maintains its staff through savvy use of Web ads, giving the site a revenue stream that apparently pays the bills. So, how has Marshall done it? To begin with, TPM places an emphasis on original, hard reporting. TPM broke the story of the U.S.-attorney–firing scandal during the latter years of the Bush administration, extensively covered congressional Democrats’ efforts to quash the 2005 “overhaul” (read: demolition) of Social Security and have been indefatigable in keeping the mainstream media honest. Part of the secret to the site’s success is that TPM uses a model of community journalism, something old media seems not to have quite figured out yet. This type of journalism, in which the readers take an active role in ensuring that minor details of a story get the attention and exposure they deserve, must be a part of whatever institution takes the place of old media in the years to come. Will TPM serve as a viable model for the future of journalism? We will have to wait and see. But in the meantime, rather than whine about the natural and inevitable decline and collapse of print media, what if we instead considered the myriad possibilities for the future? The survival of our republic depends on innovation and original thought in journalism, and we are doing a disservice to our country as citizens if we do not engage with this topic. As Helen Thomas said, “Our democracy can endure and prevail only if the American people are informed.” Amen, Helen. Now let’s get to work. Richard Becker is a columnist for the Kentucky Kernel, serving the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

At UNM visit, Weh showed commitment to New Mexico Editor, Not one step back did Republican candidate Allen Weh take as he fielded hardball questions on campus last week. Many students had concerns about our state’s shamefully low high school graduation rate or addressing corruption within public offices, which seems to be running rampant under Gov. Bill Richardson.

As a member of the College Republicans, we coordinated with Weh’s campaign, bringing the Marine Corps Reserve colonel to the University to give students, staff and faculty a chance to discuss issues during last week’s Welcome Back Days. Weh wasted absolutely no time in taking full advantage of this opportunity to present himself. To me, this demonstrated his commitment to and seriousness about helping New Mexico get back on track. Also, it illustrated that he, unlike some of the other candidates, is not disregarding the

youth vote. Press Secretary Chris Sanchez is spearheading Weh’s campaign in a whole new way that will be a surefire success. As a successful business man here in New Mexico and a decorated war vet, Weh’s record and dedication speak volumes and are unmatched by other candidates. Weh has given his word that he will restore public faith in our representatives. I most definitely believe he is a man of his word. Tommy Hernandez UNM student

Magicians casts hard look at life with magic by Chris Quintana

Korean BB Q

WE MAKE IT FRESH WHEN YOU

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Lev Grossman is after your inner child. In his latest novel, The Magicians, Grossman aims to kill that small hope many of us harbor: If magic existed, the world would be a better place. Grossman, a writer for Time Magazine and author of the best-selling book Codex, has created a superb novel with weighty characters and a worthwhile, twisted plot that fills readers with a sense of dread. Meet Quentin Coldwater, a teen who has discovered that magic is real and that he’s been accepted into a college for the craft. He finds everything a normal college student would: friends, drinking, an intense workload, and, of course, love. The only thing different is magic. Yet this talent fails to make Quentin happy, and he graduates with no plans for a future except finding harder drugs and crazier parties. Grossman is clearly onto something as he surmises that magic would not change the nature of humans, but might instead exaggerate their trivialities. Sure, a person in Grossman’s world might be able to create a black hole, but that still does not give her confidence if her peers look down on her. Grossman, self-proclaimed lover of fantasy books, indulges many staples of the genre. There are dragons, other worlds and dungeon crawling, but Grossman manipulates these similarities to further his themes of abject realism. One character, a pixie, is never trusted by his fellow teachers because he has wings. Even in a world of magic, prejudice is rampant, once again showing magic cannot change the nature of humans. Grossman’s characters also face real problems that magic can’t fix. Take Quincy, a homosexual who tries to drown his feelings of shame with alcohol and an obsession with tidy appearances. Or Professor Mayakovsky, who has an affair with a student and

is banished to the South Pole. Psychological details such as these enhance the story and remind the reader that even if there is magic in the world, there is no wonder to it. Instead, magic becomes similar to science. It becomes a burden, not only to use, but also to learn. Like the Harry Potter series, The Magicians deals with themes of escapism, but unlike Harry, Quentin can find no refuge. Instead, each escape from the real world brings him more anguish and further detaches him from reality. The novel follows Quentin as he struggles to find meaning in his life, and the plot is largely motivated by his struggles. Quentin’s escapades follow an archetype familiar from other fantasy novels, but they are still satisfying to read, especially with Grossman’s knack for matching the rhythm of his sentences with the pace of the action. The Magicians, though unrelenting in its realism, also has a brazen sense

of wit. Its characters make many allusions to fantasy favorites like Harry Potter and Tolkien, and during these moments the reader gets a sense that Grossman is really enjoying himself. There are other interesting moments such as a discussion with a bear that rarely leaves the subject of honey and berries, much to Quentin’s disgust. These lighter moments ease the weight of the book and serve to make Quentin’s world more habitable. The novel stands as an innovation in a culture dominated by the hero worship of Harry Potter. With deep and disturbed characters, Grossman fuses magic into a terribly real world, one with crippling desperation and never-ending isolation. In Grossman’s world, there is no good or bad, only the infinite rule of reality. It is truly refreshing to see a view of a fantastical world that does not change the nature of humans. Grossman even charms the reader into gladly offering up his inner child.

ing, makes a spaceship-like sound. “I have a single processor and keyboard I use to set the background ambience and to bring out the rest of the composition, and that can evolve, generating sounds,” he said. “It’s not necessarily an instrument that is playing it, but it’s generated sound.” Dean Maier, a local musician, also knows Campbell from Winning Coffee Co. “He is clearly influenced by ‘Yes’ and ‘Kansas,’ the progressive rock from the early seventies,” Maier said. “He does have a sharp musical mind

and idealistic lyrics that reflect a passion for science fiction.” Campbell said he does well in live performances thanks to improvisation, but hopes his musical talent will lead him to composing movie soundtracks. Campbell said UNM community members have helped him in his musical career. “To me, being on campus at UNM is a privilege, and it’s the students on campus that keep my mind sane, that keep my hopes and dreams alive,” he said.

played the bass on Peter’s CD In the Lonely. “He is a good guitar player and has a very unique style,” Peters said. “His music has a Moody Blues and a sort of cosmic space feel to it. He is a good musician whether playing guitar or bass.” Campbell said his music sounds like a mixture of the bands “Yes” and “Rush.” He mixes in cosmic sounds on the track titled “Traveler.” He said he places a slide on the fret board in the track, and with enough echo repeat-
