The UNM School of Law has been ranked No. 1 for the third year in a row in a top 10 list by Hispanic Business Magazine.

In September’s issue, the magazine ranked the top 10 schools in the nation for Hispanic students.

The Dean at the school of law, Kevin Washburn said the School of Law doesn’t spend much money advertising to attract the 25 to 30 percent of Hispanic students within the school.

“Our best billboards are the amazing alumni that we have walking around,” he said.

Washburn said notable alumni include the New Mexico Supreme Court Justice Petra Jimenez Maes, former New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid and senate majority leader Michael Sanchez.

“We have all of these superstar Hispanic alums that are very visible and that’s our best advertisement and it doesn’t cost us anything,” he said. “We just have a bunch of people out there who by their very existence demonstrate that Hispanics can come here and succeed and succeed fabulously.”

The magazine article said the Hispanic population in the School of Law has been steady for the past 30 years and has drawn talent from

He said veterans will initially make $25 per computer they fix, but they can later transfer their consumer base, start their own business and increase profits.

Tapia Ramos said that although veterans get education benefits after their military service, many can’t afford to take time off work to attend classes. He said out of the estimated 30,000 veterans in New Mexico, only 3 percent actually get a college degree.

“One of the reasons they don’t finish is that they can’t afford it, especially if they have a family,” Tapia Ramos said. “They can’t go to school and work a full-time job.”

Student groups honor day of service

by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo

UNM College Democrats are sponsoring a clothing and canned food drive on Friday to help New Mexico veterans.

Melissa Trent, College Democrats vice president, said the group will put out three bins — one at Smith Plaza, one behind Hokona Hall, and one in the bottom floor of the SUB — as part of the National Day of Service on Sept. 11.

“We feel that Sept. 11 is a great chance to give back to veterans that have served our country and now are finding themselves on hard times,” she said. “We want to do what we can to help them out with everything they’ve done for us.”

The drive is co-sponsored by UNM-PIRG and the UNM Service Corps.

On Sept. 18, the clothes will be delivered to several veteran-serving shelters in Albuquerque.

UNM-PIRG member Alayna Bowman said the drive is geared toward homeless veterans.

“People coming back from the war that was a result from 9/11. ...

It’s hard for them to get back into their normal life after they get back from such hardship,” she said.

There are some 7,000 homeless veterans in New Mexico, said Garfield Lopez, a representative of the New Mexico Veteran Integration Center.

“It’s a sad situation that we’re seeing these young kids coming back ... and not being taken care of,” he said.

Lopez said all of the veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq that he’s seen at NMVIC have had post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I’m starting to see all my

younger veterans show up right now,” he said. “Just what have come through my doors, I’ve probably had about six guys. ... Out of those six, six had it.”

Bowman said drives like this are important, especially as winter draws near.

“A lot of them come back and they don’t have their jobs anymore. Winter’s coming up ... and they don’t have jobs,” she said.

“They’re trying to get back on their feet again, so free clothes is usually the best way someone can contribute.”

Adrian Cisneros said he has been participating in the program since January. He said TRiVet will help veterans who are returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.

“People think these guys are coming out of the military with pensions, but they’ve got nothing,” Cisneros said. “I struggle on a monthly basis.”

Tapia Ramos said fixing each computer takes five to six hours, but veterans often work on computers simultaneously.

“This program lets veterans work less than half the time they’d have to at a regular job and make two or three times as much money,” Tapia Ramos said. “This gives them more time to go to school and have less financial worries.”

Tapia Ramos said TRiVet charges customers $115 to fix a computer — $10 less than the average cost in Albuquerque. After a veteran receives $25 for their work, the rest of the money is given back to other programs that

help veterans.

Tapia Ramos said the program is aimed to help veterans who toured Iraq and Afghanistan. He said TRiVet is looking for students who are already enrolled in school at UNM or CNM to start making enough money to stay in school.

Patrick McSween, veteran and Resident Representative of New Mexico Veterans Integration Centers, has been involved with the TRiVet project since it began in January.

He said even if the veterans decide that they don’t want to finish college for some reason, they can take what they’ve learned at TRiVet and start a business.

McSween said the TRiVet program should soon be popular enough to help veterans state-wide.

“These veterans fought for our country — they have some pride,” McSween said. “They don’t want a handout. They want a job and an opportunity.”

From the web In Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, Andy Beale reported that professors in Northrop Hall say the designated smoking area in front of the building is causing a cigarette stench inside. Readers on DailyLobo.com started a discussion over the article.

Julie Bustamante Posted Wednesday “What is being done about enforcing the tobacco-free policy? I have come across students sitting in the stairwells of Ortega Hall smoking away. Before the policy came into effect, this had never occurred. Who can we contact when we run across a violation of the policy?”

Regina Spektor Posted Wednesday “What do you do when someone violates the policy? You keep walking, because unless people are following you around blowing smoke in your face, they are not causing malicious harm.”

James Posted Wednesday “The real issue is the University is trying to enforce a new policy on everyone without any implication of what will be done to students or faculty who disobey the new rules. If there aren’t any negative actions following a violation, there won’t be any real change. ... Walk away from people who are smoking. Maybe even hold your breath for a few seconds as you pass by if you’re really worried about your health. Act as if you were in another public place that is outside.”

Letters

History misremembered in recent article on GPSA Editor, In the article about the GPSA on Tuesday, the Daily Lobo reported, “As a result of protests and chaos ... a number of people were injured and the New Mexico National Guard was called in, he said.” This implies that the events occurred in the following order: protests and chaos, then people were injured, then the National Guard was called in.

Perhaps that is what Bill Pickens said, but that was not the sequence of events. I know this because I was a graduate student at the time and was present at the events.

The sequence of events was: protest and, I guess, chaos, although things were pretty organized inside the SUB, then the New Mexico National Guard was called in by Gov. David Cargo, who was not even present in New Mexico at the time, and then people were injured.

I am writing this letter because it is amazing how history gets rewritten if people are not vigilant about it.

Column

Don’t let swine flu hog your health

by Peggy Spencer

Daily Lobo columnist In polite company, we call it Novel H1N1.

It’s the Influenza Formerly Known as Swine Flu. Originally thought to come from pigs, this flu virus is actually a mix of pig, bird and human. Believe it: only a virus could pull off that combination.

This rascal made a big splash last spring, as you no doubt remember. After making its debut in the Southern Hemisphere, it worked its way north, and by late summer, there were so many cases that the CDC stopped counting.

Media outlets are hopping with hype about this new germ, and lots of people are afraid. Since it is a new germ, and we haven’t been through a winter with it yet, there is a fair amount we don’t know. But what we do know is reassuring. Most of this comes from statistics, but some comes from experience: We have already seen several cases here at Student Health and Counseling.

So far, it looks like H1N1 is going to be gentler than the regular flu. Most cases of H1N1 are mild and over within a few days. Yes, there have been deaths around the country, but mostly in people who had other serious medical problems to begin with. If you are a healthy person when you get the flu, you can put money on your survival.

Still, any flu can be miserable, so I suggest you don’t catch it. How to avoid it? Keep your hands off your face. That’s the best thing you can do. The flu enters your body through your respiratory system. That means through your mouth or your nose. How often do you pick your nose or your teeth? Don’t answer that.

Just know that if the virus is on your hands when you touch your face, you’re toast.

Before I go further, I need to teach you a new medical term. The word is “fomite,” pronounced with a long “O” and a long “I,” accent on the “Fo.” A fomite is any object that can carry germs and pass them along. Fomites are things like towels, drinking glasses, pens, or money. Here’s why this word matters: The H1N1 flu is passed in large droplets.

That means if a flu patient coughs, the virus

flies out of their mouth in droplets. The droplets then fall onto the nearest surface. H1N1 doesn’t hang around in the air for long, unlike some other viruses that are passed in smaller, lighter droplets. How do you catch the flu then? Either you were unlucky enough to be in the line of fire when that person coughed, or — and here’s where that new word comes in — you touched a germy fomite and then touched your own face.

Think about it. Our hands are everywhere.

We use them for everything from opening doors to using a phone to handling money.

As soon as you touch a fomite, your hands are host to whatever little nasties got on there from the other people who touched it. Then you wipe your nose or rub your eyes and, wham: germ transfer.

Yes, it is important to wash your hands, especially before you eat or otherwise touch your face, but washing your hands isn’t enough.

The germs don’t soak in through your hands to make you sick, after all. So wash and sanitize, by all means, but mostly keep your hands off your face. If you have to touch your face, like to eat or put on makeup, wash your hands thoroughly first.

Besides washing your hands and keeping them off your face, take good care of your body in the usual ways so that your immune system is on max alert at all times. Sleep enough. Eat well. Exercise regularly. You know the drill.

If you’re already sick, please be responsible and protect others. Keep away from people. If you get symptoms of the flu, stay home.

Symptoms are primarily fever, cough and body aches. You might also have a sore throat, stuffiness or stomach upset. H1N1 typically comes on over a short period of time. Like a Ferrari that goes from zero to 60 in a matter of seconds, H1N1 will rocket you from well to miserable in a matter of hours.

If you are sick, cover your cough. Not with your hands! The latest official advice is to bend your arm at the elbow and cough or sneeze into your elbow, or the fabric of your sleeve above the elbow. If you choose to spray your germs into a tissue, fine, but please discard the tissue and wash your hands.

The best treatment for H1N1 is rest. Your

body is a pretty efficient virus-killing machine, but it needs your support. Stay in bed, drink plenty of fluids, and take medicines for your symptoms. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and body aches, dextromethorphan for cough, phenylephrine for congestion, or pick your own personal favorite.

If you decide to go to the clinic for H1N1, you’ll probably leave with nothing more than good advice. There are some anti-viral medications on the market, but so far they’re only being used for flu victims that are pregnant or have underlying risk factors. Those are the folks with chronic medical problems like asthma, emphysema, diabetes and others. If you have a chronic medical problem and you get sick with flu, you should definitely seek medical care, and you might get treated with antiviral medication. But otherwise, it’s better for you and the rest of the community if you stay home.

UNM is doing its part. We’re expecting an H1N1 vaccine, probably in October, and we’re planning for campus-wide vaccinations. In the next few weeks, watch for announcements about the regular seasonal flu shots. Meanwhile, you’ll see hand sanitizers around campus, along with signs reminding you to wash your hands. SHAC has provided flu kits to the dorms, with thermometers, surgical masks, hand sanitizer and Tylenol. If you get the flu and you live in the dorms, La Posada will deliver “flu meals” to you. Professors have even agreed to lighten up on asking for doctor’s notes if you have the flu.

the surrounding communities.

HispanTelligence, the research branch of the Hispanic Business Magazine, reviewed diversity records from graduate schools nationwide to find the leading schools with high numbers of Hispanic student. The research branch searched engineering, medicine, law and business graduate schools for this information.

The research found 30 of the top graduate schools were in New Mexico, Texas, California and Florida. Texas and Florida were each found to have 10 of the most diverse graduate programs in the nation. However, no graduate schools from the northwestern portion of the country made it onto the list.

The No. 1 graduate schools were Stanford University School of Medicine, Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Engineering and the University of Texas at San Antonio’s College of Business.

Washburn said student success is evident in the number of students who pass the Bar examination from the School of Law. “Our July bar pass rate for UNM grads was 96 percent … on their first time, and we had a 100 percent pass rate in the February,” he said On average in the state, students received an 86 percent pass rate for the Bar examination, he said.

The magazine ranked UNM’s School of Medicine as No. 6 for the second year in a row. The Anderson School of Management also ranked No. 6. The School of Engineering ranked No. 7.

Josephine De Leon, UNM vice president for Equity and Inclusion, said the University continues to concentrate on diversifying the student population by creating programs geared towards these specific groups.

“Students are attracted to programs that make them feel valued and where they can be successful,” she said in an e-mail. “My job is to highlight those programs that are already doing a great job and share their success and best practices with others. I think we can all learn and become better at serving students in a way that ensures their success.”

Anderson Dean Douglas Brown said the number of Hispanic students jumped this year. LAZY TRANSITION“The percentage of total graduate students who are Hispanic was 24 percent (last year) and now its 33 percent and about half of the Anderson undergrads are Hispanics,” he said.

Brown said the school puts particular emphasis on retention of Hispanic students.

“One thing we’re pleased with is the average retention rate of successful completion, which is 92 percent among Hispanics,” he said.

“It’s not just getting them through the door. It’s have a nurturing and welcoming environment that encourages them to succeed.”

Hispanics have the lowest statistics from all of the ethnic groups in receiving college education or beyond, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About 13 percent of Hispanics over the age of 25 complete four years of college and only 3.6 percent from that number go on to obtain further education.

Billy Sparks, executive director of communications at the Health Sciences Center, said the number of Hispanic students in the school has been on a steady increase during the past couple of years.

“The School of Medicine is always focused on New Mexico students first and New Mexico as you know has 43 percent Hispanic population, 11 percent Native American population, so it’s always been important to reflect that diversity in the student body,” he said.

During the fall of 2008, the School of Medicine had 84 Hispanics students out of a total 298 students.

However, Brown said the Anderson school has a ways to go with accomplishing the same results in other ethnic groups.

“One of the groups where I feel we still have a ways to go is among the Native American students and even then we made very good progress with them this year, but nonetheless we need to continue to make progress in that area,” he said. “In some aspects were very close to representing the demographics of our state and community.”

Flames, fireworks and 50 feet of catharsis

by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo

“¡Que Viva!”

That’s what 20,000 people will chant tonight in Santa Fe as Old Man Gloom, aka Zozobra, burns to the ground.

The Kiwanis Club has constructed the 50-foot effigy for the past 85 years on Fort Marcy and Magers Field.

Ray A. Valdez has produced the event for 16 years and said it gets bigger and better as time goes on.

“We do have a bigger firework show this year. We’ve got a great Zozobra with new special effects, and we changed up our ticketing system to make it easier for people,” Valdez said.

You can purchase tickets at the Lensic Box Office or at TicketSantaFe.com, Valdez said. Tickets are $5 in advance or $10 at the ticket booth on the south side of the field.

Raymond Sandoval is the face artist and head pyrotechnician for Zozobra. He said people may not

understand the meaning of Zozobra, but once they experience the fireworks, the music and the flaming 50foot effigy, they’ll be hooked.

Zozobra consists of about 20,000 people gathering in a park for live music, poetry and fireworks, which culminates in the burning of Old Man Gloom. He symbolizes all the bad things that have happened in the past year, and once he burns to the ground, so does all the gloom.

Zozobra is stuffed with people’s contributions: letters, blog entries, marriage and divorce licenses and anything else you want burned with him.

“It’s something very cathartic,” Sandoval said. “In our day-to-day technological world, there’s something very primal about fire, and there’s something very primal about chanting and being in a big crowd.

I think it’s a really amazing thing for people to be able to take what’s bothering them and put it on something else, metaphorically, and then light it on fire.”

The creator of Zozobra, Will Schuster, came to Santa Fe with a group of artists in the 1920s.

“We often refer to the artists as the bohemians of the era. They had better ideas of how to burn things and they had better fireworks,” Valdez said. “So they decided that you could burn your gloom away.”

Zozobra is now on Thursday nights, but that wasn’t always the case. It used to be held on Friday nights, but the celebration became rowdy and there were several violent incidents. Valdez said security is a priority, and paramedics are on hand.

“We’ve always had excellent security,” he said. “We hire a security force of over 100 people. The Police Department have over 100 people, and the state police come and join them.”

Miquela Gonzales, Santa Fe Police Department crime analyst, said she has gone to Zozobra for a long time and has never seen any problems with crowd control or violence.

“Personally, when I attend the event, I take my daughter and her friends,” Gonzales said. “Every time I’ve gone, I’ve never witnessed or seen any incidents that would keep me from attending. Professionally (since Zozobra moved to Thursday), I can’t recall a time where we’ve had anybody who actually died at Zozobra.”

The Rail Runner Express will extend its service so that the last train leaves Santa Fe at 11 p.m.

Before Zozobra burns, there will be live music, fire dancers and poetry performances to keep audiences entertained, Valdez said.

“Our headlining band is Soul Fire. We love having them back every year,” Valdez said. ”They will be the last band that goes on before Zozobra burns. We have special poets from Warehouse 21. They are going to be our in-betweeners, so in between the acts we’re going to have poets. And we have a special musical interlude before the lights go out this year.”

‘Will Schuster’s Zozobra’ Fort Marcy Magers Field Park Today Gates open 3 p.m.

Burning 9 p.m. or go to TicketSantaFe.com

All the profits from Zozobra go to educational scholarships in the Santa Fe community, Sandoval said.

“It’s both past-and future-oriented,” Sandoval said. “It ties Santa Fe to it’s past, but all the proceeds that we raise go back to scholarships for kids.

It’s about holding on to your traditions, but its goal is to fund education for kids in the future.”

‘9’ a lot to look at, little to think about

by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo

In spite of having an incoherent story line, “9” redeems itself with ornate visual design and sound effects.

The film, with first time director Shane Acker at the helm, is set in yet another post-apocalyptic world.

The world, though crumbling, is gorgeous to behold. Ruins are intricately stacked atop of one another and filled with broken dolls, gas cans and skeletons of cars. The protagonist, 9, is a humanoid creature made of canvas. The film follows him and other numbered sack people as they fight the machine menace that killed off mankind.

Detail is the film’s strongest suit, and the viewer can see evidence of the filmmaker’s ingenuity in every set, character and prop. While the characters are about as real as hollowed canvas people can be, they are at least interesting to look at thanks to quirky accessories. For example, the leader has a scrap piece of paper folded into a crown, the warrior damsel has a bird skull helmet, and the character who

knows how to defeat the machine has a key hanging from his neck.

Sound effects also draw the audience into the world of “9.” The sound of rubble falling beneath the hero’s feet, a machine’s electronic scream as it ignites, or the twang of a makeshift crossbow are just a few examples of the supreme audio effects. The score is only contextual, and it seldom enhances the viewing experience. Instead, it’s loud during action sequences, foreboding when a machine is lurking in the dark, and joyous when the characters celebrate. Obviously, Acker spent a lot of time getting the sounds right, and it’s a gift to the ears, especially when most of the summer blockbusters relied on heavy explosions or intrusive sound tracks.

The film’s story line has to move quickly in the 79-minute running time. Rarely do the characters talk longer than five minutes before a mechanical cat skeleton or a scrap heap bat bursts in and sends the sack people running. However, Acker doesn’t push the film too far, and it finishes before the viewer runs out of patience.

‘9’ Now Playing PG-13

The film, originally a dialougeless short, was nominated for an Oscar in 2006, and I can’t help but wish it had remained silent. The voice cast is loaded and includes the talents of Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, and John C. Reilly, but when these impressive actors are forced to spew out trite phrases like, “I started this, and now I have to finish to it,” one can’t help but cheer for a machine’s return.

The movie also suffers from having a plot like a puddle: It’s shallow, murky and quickly evaporates.

There is something about the death of the human race, the creation of the sack people and the war between the machines, but the story does not progress beyond that.

There are also some skimpy themes

Courtesy of Focus Features Elijah Wood as #9 unleashes the talisman in ‘9’. The film came out yesterday. of destiny and redemption in “9,” but the viewer would be better off pretending these distractions aren’t there. Danger is the only thing that ever truly comes into focus throughout the film, as machines continue to kill off 9’s friends.

The film can also get confusing, as it seems Acker couldn’t decide whether it was geared toward children and adults, thus he often flounders in between. While a cheap shock might surprise children who don’t know any better, an adult will be unmoved. Conversely, a scene

where a dead mother clutches her dead child seems a bit too much for younger audiences, but just right to establish a sense of dread for adults.

The movie has a few of these moments when the viewer feels as though he or she is in the wrong movie, but they quickly pass.

Treat yourself to “9” if you’re in the mood for some ingenious visual and auditory tidbits. Acker pours pounds of creativity into the film, and your right brain will thank you, even if your left brain howls in indignation.

Same song, new dance for fans of the Beatles

by Gregory Katz

The Associated Press

CALIBERS SHOOTERS SPORTS CENTER PRESENTS

$15

Beatlemania is back with Wednesday’s rollout of the Fab Four’s remastered CDs and firstever video game, reaching out to members of a new generation decades after their parents — and even grandparents — first succumbed.

It’s been nearly 40 years since John, Paul, George and Ringo announced their breakup, but the new game and discs caused a worldwide buzz as the Beatles returned to the top of the charts in Britain, the land where it all began.

Fans flocked to get their hands on the long-awaited sonic masterpieces, with lines snaking outside record stores in London and Liverpool. Some die-hards jammed the streets outside Abbey Road, the landmark studio where the Beatles recorded many of their groundbreaking albums.

About 50 people gathered outside the HMV music store on London’s Oxford Street early Wednesday — some, like university student Daniela Gutierrez, waiting in line since 3 a.m.

“My parents were huge Beatles fans and I grew up listening to their music,” said Gutierrez, 25. “I can’t wait to have the game and start playing the songs.”

It’s not exactly 1964 — there were no fainting teens or other visible signs of feverish Beatlemania — but the long-awaited release brought the long-gone band to the top of the charts maintained by online retailer Amazon.co.uk.

Or, as John Lennon liked to say, “to the toppermost of the poppermost.”

Uma Nolan, an Irish nurse visiting London, came to the Abbey Road studio to be photographed at the pedestrian crossing made famous on the “Abbey Road” album cover.

She plans to buy the entire set of 17 CDs — even though she already has all the songs in the collection.

“I will absolutely go out and buy them,” she said. “I’m a huge Beatles fan and have every single LP in original, first-edition copies. They were the first real pop group. The entire

Akira Suemori / AP Photo People pick up albums by The Beatles at a HMV store in London, on Wednesday, where The Beatles’ remastered albums and the game “The Beatles: Rock Band” were launched. generation was waiting for that to happen. They sent worldwide pop culture off into orbit.”

Nolan, 50, said remastering the Beatles albums will introduce them to a new generation.

“It brings them up do date and modernizes their music,” she said.

“You’re enhancing what was really good to begin with, so that can’t be a bad thing.”

High prices are apparently no deterrent — Amazon.com sold out its allotment of pre-orders for the Beatles box set, priced at $260, and has a waiting list of buyers.

The robust sales are expected to add to the already considerable wealth of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the “thank my lucky stars” drummer who joined the band just before it had its first hit, as well as Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the widows of the late John Lennon and George Harrison.

Court records publicized last year put McCartney’s net worth at about $800 million.

It’s also expected to boost the value of the estate of the late Michael Jackson, who owned a substantial share in the publishing rights to the Beatles’ fabled back catalog.

“The Beatles: Rock Band” video game also is expected to sell well, opening a new revenue stream for the band.

Adam Liversage, spokesman for the British Phonographic Industry, said video games offer well-known bands a way to reach a wider audience and increase their earnings in the process.

“It’s great for music — it is a new revenue scheme and a way for people to explore music that they otherwise might not have had access to,” he said.

“These games have been around for a while. The Beatles one isn’t the

first one; it is the latest in a series,” he said of the new release, which follows the success of “Guitar Hero” and other music-oriented video offerings.

And, Liversage said, the Beatles’ fan base extends far beyond the teenage boys who are traditionally heavy video game users and may end up introducing older people to gaming.

Other bands may follow the Beatles’ lead, he added. “If you’re a guitar band with a global presence then it has to be worth looking at.”

As for McCartney, the ex-Beatle says he hasn’t tried the game and acknowledges some purists may be offended by the licensing of the Beatles’ music for it.

But the tradeoff is worth it because the game will help the band reach a younger audience, McCartney said.

“For me, the most interesting thing is that it will introduce the Beatles music to people who might never have heard it because they game all the time, they don’t listen to the radio, and they haven’t got much of a record collection,” McCartney said in an interview with New Musical Express magazine.

The magazine, which targets younger music fans, is using the releases as a chance for a major critical review of the band with the goal of getting a new generation to listen to the Beatles with fresh ears, said reviews editor Hamish MacBain.

“If we can get a bunch of 14-yearolds in 2009 to really hear them, that’s a very good thing,” he said.

And while some fans may shy away from spending hundreds of dollars for a complete new collection of songs they already have, MacBain said the Beatles have more devoted fans than any other musicians.
