‘True heroes’ removed from veterans’ resolution by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
Sara Lee / Daily Lobo The administrative, editorial and production departments of UNM Press will move from 1312 Basehart Drive to 1717 Roma Ave. on main campus. Some employees in the press’ warehouse department fear they will be laid off as administrators consider outsourcing.
UNM Press employees fear outsourcing by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
The University of New Mexico Press office will soon change buildings, but that’s not why Joyce Perz is cleaning out her desk. “We’re about to be laid off,” she said. “That’s why I’m getting my things organized.” Perz, one of nine employees at the UNM Press’ warehouse department, said UNM Press ordered a “Request for Proposal” in March 2008 to determine the costs and benefits of outsourcing the department. No decisions have been made since the RFP was completed last week. The UNM Press office publishes literature authored by the UNM community and surrounding area. The proposed change would affect the warehouse department and the customer service department and should be decided in early October.
The office will move from 1312 Basehart Drive to 1717 Roma Ave. on main campus. Perz said a group of high-level employees began complaining of mismanagement after the RFP was announced in March 2008. “We started e-mailing, sending out press releases,” she said. “That was the tipping point — people were fired. The majority of editorial and production people quit. Some left with no new jobs.” Perz said five people quit in protest of the management’s policies. A source who asked not to be named for fear of being fired said the staff tried to bring attention to the issue but was unable to get through to the UNM administration. “There was a huge effort to bring reality and facts to the higher administration about what was going on,” the source said. “They ignored us.” Richard Schuetz, associate
director for business operations, said only warehouse and customer service department jobs are at risk. The publishing staff, which will change offices on Sept. 19, will not be affected. “We had some people that resigned,” he said. “We’re trying to fill some of those positions. The reorganization is complete, as far as I know.” Schuetz said he and three other people will decide whether to outsource the department. “I would prefer that it not be outsourced,” he said. “Obviously cost is a factor. There are a lot of advantages to keeping it in house.” Stewart Marshall, who works in the warehouse department said he remains optimistic about his prospects. “I think it has a slight chance to none, but I’m the guy who’s always optimistic,” he said. “The RFP was

The ASUNM resolution encouraging the UNM community to take Veterans Day off is now a little less “flowery.” After an ASUNM Senate vote sent the resolution back to committee Sept. 2, the Steering and Rules Committee revised the wording on Wednesday. “(Last week) everyone said ‘I want to pass this, I want to pass this,’” said Steering and Rules Committee member Chelsea Stallings. “But nobody felt the wording was right. We, as a committee, liked the wording, which is why we passed it in committee, but there were a few who were more persuasive than we were on the Senate floor with the words being dramatic – poetic.” The two significant changes to the resolution came in a single sentence. When describing veterans, the committee got rid of a phrase calling veterans “true heroes.” And they removed the end of the sentence that said veterans “are owed a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.” In discussion, committee chair Alicia Barry argued the end of the sentence is misleading because veterans do get paid. “We honor them in different institutions,” Barry said. “They are given opportunities in college. They are being paid to go to college. They are getting different scholarships and sponsorships, so they are being paid. I think the wording is a little rough.” Senator Abdullah Feroze, who seconded a motion to send the resolution back to committee on Sept. 2, said the language wasn’t the only contention he had with the resolution. “I think a lot of senators didn’t feel comfortable passing a bill that still had loose ends to it,” he said.
Feroze, who didn’t go to the meeting because of a scheduling conflict, took issue with a few statistics that were in the resolution. It mentions that veterans bring in over $6 million in benefits to UNM. Feroze doesn’t contest the numbers, but he said citation is necessary. The Steering and Rules Committee sent the resolution back to the Senate floor with a 4-1 vote. The only “nay” came from Stallings, who said she supports the bill’s sentiment but doesn’t think the grammar in one paragraph is up to par. “I know we have some sticklers on the floor, and it needs to read (correctly),” Stallings said. She said it could easily be fixed with a “friendly amendment” and is sure it will pass next Wednesday when it hits the Senate floor. Zach Mutchler, president of Student Veterans of UNM and author of the original resolution, said he approved of the revised document. “As long as there is a resolution passed by the full Senate that supports UNM to observe Veterans Day then that is all I care about,” Mutchler said. “That is all the veterans care about. We could talk all night about whether this is too flowery. … However, it is time to look past that and get this thing passed.” Senator Laz Cardenas, who introduced the resolution, said he will vote the revised resolution through but that it was fine in its original form. “The changes on the resolution right now, I think, are watered down,” he said. “There was no language in the (original) resolution that was offensive.” Cardenas also said the Sept. 2 meeting was the first for a few freshmen senators, and they could have been confused with parliamentary procedure and lingo.
Notorious time waster may train the brain by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
Just because a video game distracts students from homework doesn’t mean it’s not making them smarter. Scientists at the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque completed a six-month study about the effects the game Tetris have on the brain. Richard Haier, a Tetris study researcher, said his group recruited 26 adolescent girls who had no experience playing Tetris or most other video games. He said for three months, 15 girls were asked to play Tetris for about one hour per week and the other 11 girls played no Tetris at all. Haier said the findings were unexpected. “In the group that practiced Tetris, the brain got more efficient in certain areas and the cortex also got thick-

er in certain areas,” Haier said. “The big surprise was that we thought (the changes) would be in the same areas, but they weren’t.” Haier said the brain became more efficient in the frontal lobe of the brain, which means less blood flow to particular areas. “We were interested in what changes take place in your brain when you learn something,” Haier said. “When you practice Tetris, the brain seems to get more efficient because it uses less energy.” Haier said that in addition to having parts of the girls’ brains become more efficient, the outer part of the brain — the cortex — showed some growth. He said he doesn’t know if these physical changes are beneficial. “We’re not sure what the implication of a thicker cortex is, but we think it’s better,” Haier said. “We think you are getting more neurons or more synapses as a consequence of

learning, but we don’t really know.” Haier said his team scanned the brains of all 26 girls before and after the study. The team used functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging, and there were significant brain changes shown in both, he said. Rex Jung, an MRN researcher, said the scans show obvious changes in the brain, but he wants to do further studies with video games. He said he wants to find out how brain changes might affect other skills. “We only tested Tetris, but it would have been interesting to see if the girls’ ability to remember or their ability to rotate geometric designs improved from playing Tetris,” Jung said. “We just didn’t do that during this study.” Jung said they want to repeat the study with adults to see if it can prevent memory deterioration. He said

If UNM Press decides to publish less books next year, he said, that could affect the jobs of everyone at the office. “It depends on what happens with the RFP,” he said. “If they outsource and move to a smaller list (of books), it could mean we would lose more jobs.”

the MRN want to know whether mind games, like Brain Age, Sudoku, and Tetris, which are marketed to older people, have measurable benefits. Student Tayler Nolan said she used to play Tetris a lot but doesn’t think that it made her smarter. “I don’t think Tetris has improved my brain capacity, but I think other more challenging games like Sudoku do,” Nolan said. Nolan said she thinks some
games have more critical thinking value than others. She said it would be interesting to see a Sudoku study compared to the Tetris study. “Sudoku makes you look at things in a different way,” she said. “Tetris is just a video game.” Jung said Blue Planet Software, the owner of Tetris, sponsored the $90,000 study but had nothing to do with the experiment, results or publication.

Sept. 11 a tough day for U.S. Muslims by Rachel Zoll
The Associated Press NEW YORK — There is the dread of leaving the house that morning. People might stare, or worse, yell insults. Prayers are more intense, visits with family longer. Mosques become a refuge. Eight years after 9/11, many U.S. Muslims still struggle through the anniversary of the attacks. Yes, the sting has lessened. For the younger generation of Muslims, the tragedy can even seem like a distant memory. “Time marches on,” said Souha Azmeh Al-Samkari, a 22-year-old student at the University of Dayton in Ohio. Yet, many American Muslims say Sept. 11 will never be routine, no matter how many anniversaries have passed. “I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach every year,” said Nancy Rokayak of Charlotte, N.C., who covers her hair in public. “I feel on 9/11 others look at me and blame me for the events that took place.” Rokayak, a U.S.-born convert, has four children with her husband, who is from Egypt, and works as an ultrasound technologist. She makes sure she is wearing a red, white and blue flag pin every Sept. 11 and feels safer staying close to home. Sarah Sayeed, who lives in the Bronx, said that for a long time, she hesitated before going out on the anniversary. The morning the World Trade Center crumbled, she rushed to her son’s Islamic day school so they could both return home. The other women there warned that she should take off her headscarf, or hijab, for her own safety. She now attends an interfaith prayer event each Sept. 11, keeping her hair
covered as always. “There’s still a sense of ‘Should I go anywhere? Should I say anything?’ There’s kind of that anxiety,” said Sayeed, who was born in India and came to the U.S. at age 8. “I force myself to go out.” The anniversary brings a mix of emotions: sorrow over the huge loss of life, anguish over the wars that followed, but also resentment over how the hijackings so completely transformed the place of Muslims in the U.S. and beyond. A poll released this week by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 38 percent of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other faiths to encourage violence. That is down from 45 percent two years earlier. It is now common in U.S. mosques for Muslims to preface public remarks by saying they know the government is eavesdropping but Muslims have nothing to hide. “It put a lot of Muslim Americans in the position of, ‘We don’t blend in as much as we thought we did,’” said Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, a native New Yorker whose college friend was killed in the World Trade Center. Some of the Muslims interviewed for this story said they have been subjected to insults, though not on the Sept. 11 anniversary. Sayeed remembers a man walking by and calling her “Taliban.” Closer to the attacks, an anonymous caller told Rokayak to get out of the country. Abdul-Matin said he avoids TV news on the anniversary “if it’s too much of this drumbeating or warmongering, if the focus is on ‘what they did to us.’” He prefers spending the day with his relatives, especially his mother, who was with him in Brooklyn the morning of the attacks. “It’s a family day,”

Abdul-Matin said. This year, the anniversary falls on a Friday, the Islamic day of congregational prayer, and during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, when mosques are usually packed. Muslims expect their prayer leaders, or imams, will at least mention the significance of the date in their sermons. Asim Rehman, president of the Muslim Bar Association of New York, was at the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan when the planes hit. He said he passes the day “as a proud New Yorker” in “prayer and reflection” for the victims, their families and others. Not all mosques will commemorate the day. A significant number of U.S. Muslims contend that no one of their faith could have perpetrated the hijackings. They resist suggestions that they should be monitoring their own communities for extremism. Kamran Memon, an Illinois lawyer, has taken a different approach, founding Muslims for A Safe America, which challenges fellow Muslims to learn more about national security. The debates and talks he leads at mosques throughout the Chicago area start from the position that Muslims were behind the attacks. On the anniversary, Memon keeps his work schedule light and prefers to stay home. He reflects on what happened, but his thoughts are more focused on what could be ahead. Some Muslims are convinced that if the U.S. is hit with another terrorist attack, the government will put them in internment camps, he said. “There’s this fear about what down the road this will mean for my daughter’s future. What kind of life will she have here?” he said. “People may be less angry or less hostile toward Muslims in general, but if there’s another attack, what then?”

LETTERS VA, Medicare might offer a model public option Editor, I think those in our armed forces deserve the absolute best medical care we as a nation can provide. I also think they deserve to pursue an education with governmental assistance. However, it sure is curious that the reward for serving your country is government-run health care, and governmentsponsored education. That leaves me with a question: Does the military get the best health care? Because I keep hearing that we, as Americans, have the best system of health care in the world. The military is not part of that system. So who gets the better deal? Or do they both stink? Because while I never got hurt, I do not recall any of my fellow Marines receiving bad care. And while there have been some horrible examples of what can go wrong in a government-run system, overall, the Department of Veterans Affairs is a great system, Medicare is a great system, and they both work. That is why so many are willing to fight for both, and no politician will touch either. At the end of the day, however, I think all people deserve health care and education, not just veterans. And while I absolutely believe in service to our country (not just military service), I also believe service is our duty, a word I do not hear mentioned much. Steven J. Andreys Daily Lobo reader

Today in America, we face many challenges. From the struggling economy to health care, we have many things to talk about. These issues all have solutions from the left and the right sides of the political spectrum, and each of them have great points. But today, we are not people from a certain political party or belief. Today, we put aside our political differences and we come together as Americans. We recognize that we are in extraordinary times, and we face radicals that threaten the American way of life. It was on Sept. 11, 2001, that some of these radicals attacked America. We saw a lot of horrible things that day, but we also got to see some of our bravest people do great things. So today we remember. We remember people like Lt. John R. Fischer of the New York City Fire Department, who ran into a burning

presidents, Abraham Lincoln, said words that we can apply today, “We here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.” But today is not just about remembering the lost. It is also about the Americans we became on Sept. 12. The 9/12 Project helped solidify this by stating, “The day after America was attacked, we were not obsessed with red states, blue states or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the greatest nation ever created. That same feeling — that commitment to country — is what we are hoping to foster with this idea. We want to get everyone thinking like it is Sept. 12, 2001 again.” On Sept. 12, we united for a new birth of freedom. We did not wallow in fear of what could come. We united to protect liberty. We became Americans.

tower to save the lives of others because it was the right thing to do. “John Fischer was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He coached my son for five years in soccer and basketball. John always understood that the game was just a game, and he tried to encourage each player to do their best and play every position. He never yelled at his players. John was always a gentleman on the court, setting a good example for other coaches in how to conduct oneself at a youth sporting event. John is my hero. I love him with my heart and soul,” one of Fischer’s friends said. We remember people like Christine Anne Snyder on United Airlines Flight 93, the plane that was hijacked and crashed in Pennsylvania. Snyder called her loved ones to say one last “I love you,” and then without hesitation went and confronted the danger. “I remember Christine, even then, always thinking of others before herself,” a friend of hers said. One of history’s most remembered
Life insurance is a complicated issue in the United States. Consumers are constantly bombarded by commercials reminding them their odds of living are not the best, scaring them into paying large amounts of money for a plan that many allow to lapse before they die. Life insurance is a great idea for many and has kept many families afloat after devastating losses, but the next loss might be that of the insurance companies. As a result of the recent economic downturn and the failure of the stimulus package, Wall Street has turned to a new risk: buying life insurance policies. Insured people are paid a fraction of their policy, with the size depending on life expectancy and health. The more likely they are to die, the more they are paid. Then the bankers plan to “securitize” these policies by packaging large groups together into bonds. The bonds are then resold to investors, like big pension funds, who will receive the payouts when the person with the insurance passes away. Wall Street is concocting a plan that will not only destroy the life insurance market, but will destroy the security of families across the country — you all remember the turmoil that ensued after Wall Street did the same with mortgages.
The idea is still in the planning stages. Already, it doesn’t bode well for families in the U.S. As it looks, life insurance premiums will go through the roof. Many times, those who have life insurance policies let them lapse after necessity is gone, such as after children grow up or once they become more financially secure. When this happens, the insurance companies never have to pay out on the policy, but if they are purchased by Wall Street, they will not be allowed to lapse and life insurance companies will lose their main form of profit. Critics bring up the moral side of this issue as well. Life insurance is supposed to provide a sense of security for families; it is not supposed to be a bargaining chip for brokers. But the morals are not the only problem. After AIDS treatments were developed in the mid-1980s, investors who bought policies from infected patients plummeted into debt. With all of the breaking medical research and discoveries, there is no doubt that within a few years these investments will be more trouble than they are worth. Continuing to pay for premiums on people who are living far longer than expected will obviously lead to another economic downturn, to say the least. The challenge for Wall Street is to make the business of securitizing life insurance policies predictable. The unfortunate truth, though, is
that life and medicine are far from predictable. The same was true for those who financed subprime mortgages. No one could predict how the new homeowners could afford to make their payments, but the banks believed that there was no way that many people could default at the same time. They didn’t realize that their logic was badly flawed until it was far too late. The life insurance gamble carries nearly the same level of uncertainty. On top of medical uncertainty and the potential for increased life expectancies, is the issue of regulation. When trading these bonds, it is nearly impossible to regulate all the paperwork on all the loans. Just like with mortgages, the owner will be disputed. When a person dies, who guarantees that the right person is getting the payout? Without impeccable regulation, the system will flop instantly, and the economy will get even worse. So how is life insurance securitization really going to work out? Wall Street thinks it is a great way to bounce back, but when you look at the real risks, all Wall Street is doing is going back to its old ways of gambling. Unfortunately, not even Wall Street has enough luck to make this risky plan a worthwhile investment.

Clark might not play this season after re-injuring his shoulder during the Lobos’ season-opener against Texas A&M.
Key player plagued by shoulder trouble by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
There comes a point when even a loyal soldier realizes some wars are lost causes — they aren’t worth investing in anymore. That point might have come for Lobo safety Ian Clark, the UNM football team’s most raucous and experienced defensive leader. A source close to Clark is “90 percent sure” Clark is out for the season after his left shoulder was re-injured for the second time in less than a month. The injury occurred during the Lobos’ seasonopener against Texas A&M. If Clark’s out, UNM’s secondary, which gave up 361 passing yards to A&M, takes another untimely blow as they head into Saturday’s game against Tulsa. Head coach Mike Locksley didn’t refute or substantiate the claim about Clark. “He’s week-to-week,” he said. “I’m not a doctor. That’s not my expertise. Ultimately, it’s going to be Ian’s decision.” Clark, who hasn’t practiced all week and has been in a sling, was escorted off the field at the Texas A&M game. He won’t play in UNM’s home-opener against Tulsa. This is just the latest strand to a string of setbacks for Clark. After the shoulder kept him out of contact drills during spring camp, Clark was cleared for all activities heading into fall camp. But a day before the Lobos strapped up in full pads, Clark popped his left shoulder out of place again at practice. Shortly after, Locksley told the Albuquerque Journal that Clark would rehabilitate his shoulder and be ready for UNM’s matchup with Texas A&M. “The doctors have told him he
could play with it, put it in a harness, and he would not further damage it,” Locksley said in the Journal article. “I haven’t talked to him, but I got the impression he’s going to try to play with it.” Clark was unable to comment on Thursday. Over the years, Clark has been plagued by recurring shoulder injuries, both to his right and left shoulders. In 2008, Clark had offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The year prior, he underwent a procedure to correct the problem in his left shoulder, the same one he dislocated on Saturday in the Lobos’ 41-6 loss to Texas A&M. At Tuesday’s media luncheon, Locksley skated around the topic, not really giving a definitive answer as to whether Clark would choose to have season-ending surgery to fix the problem, or opt for rehab with the outside chance of a return this year. “With that shoulder, we knew going in he would go as long as he possibly (could),” Locksley said. “The key for him right now is to get his strength back and some of his range of motion.” For Clark, it’s been a seemingly everlasting battle to stay healthy and on the field. In his career, he’s missed time in at least six games because of nagging shoulder injuries. Still, the coaching staff and Clark have yet to make a final decision, erring on the side of caution for now. Locksley added on Thursday that it’s not atypical for players to compete with dislocated shoulders. Former cornerback DeAndre Wright returned to play for the Lobos last year after a similar injury, but such a return could lead to further injury and possibly longterm damage for Clark.

There’s a hurricane warning this Saturday in Albuquerque. Early reports indicate the eye of the storm is headed straight for University Stadium. UNM will face Tulsa in its homeopener, but head coach Mike Locksley doesn’t want his team looking for vengeance from last year’s 56-14 beat down at the hands of the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane, said linebacker Clint McPeek. “We would like to redeem ourselves,” he said. “Like the coaches have been saying all week, ‘Revenge isn’t a good thing to be thinking about, because it’s kind of negative. But it’s always in the back of your mind from that game last year.” The Lobos look to make corrections after a 41-6 loss last week to much-improved Texas A&M. Lobo offense only mustered two field goals from James Aho at the game in College Station, Texas, after an offseason of hype about how the Lobos would put points on the board in bunches. However, the Lobos’ locker room still exudes plenty of confidence,
and McPeek said the Lobos can get back on track this weekend. “There is no doubt in my mind, the offense is really good,” McPeek said. “We see Donovan (Porterie) and the rest of the offense in practice every day. We, as a defense, know what they are capable of, and they can put up a lot of points on the board.” UNM’s defense allowed 606 total yards against the NMSU Aggies, but they’ve put their troubles to behind them. McPeek said the Lobos were full of enthusiasm, but things just went awry. “Execution was a big thing that we need to work on,” he said. “We have been working on what happened last week, and we have put a big emphasis on it this week.” Execution will be crucial to slow down the Golden Hurricane. The Lobos will have to be aggressive against Tulsa’s run-andgun offense, safety Frankie Solomon said. “We just have to tackle better,” he said. Last year the Golden Hurricane averaged an NCAA-best 569.9 yards per game. And they’re showing no

Football vs. Tulsa
Saturday 6 p.m. University Stadium signs of slowing down this year, in spite of losing quarterback David Johnson, who was responsible for much of Tulsa’s offensive success last season. In last year’s game at H.A. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa, David Johnson threw for 469 yards and six touchdowns against the Lobos. The Golden Hurricane outgained the Lobos by 290 yards. In their season-opener, Tulsa handled Tulane University easily, 37-13. But UNM is hoping to weather the storm and captivate the home crowd, McPeek said. “I love it,” he said. “It’s always nice to play at home in front of your own fans. There is nothing else like it.”

NEW YORK — Helmets and shoulder pads — and hand sanitizer. College football players are protecting themselves from more than bruising hits and tackles this season. Swine flu can flatten them, too. With outbreaks reported at the universities of Mississippi and Wisconsin, players are under orders to wash their hands and cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, lest their teams join those who have been hit hard by the bug. “After the first couple of cases, when people got sick on campus, me and my roommates, we went and got a big bottle of disinfectant,” said Ole Miss running back Brandon Bolden, who lives with two teammates. “And as soon as we walk into our house, we have hand sanitizer.” Coaches are fretting over the possibility of having to play games short-handed. “It scares us to death,” Texas coach Mack Brown said. Swine flu hasn’t been a problem for the Longhorns so far, but the list of teams affected has been growing
steadily. At Duke, in Durham, N.C., one player had a confirmed case of swine flu in early August, about a month before the season started last weekend. School officials said two or three dozen players experienced flu symptoms and it took about 10 days to get healthy. Tulane, in New Orleans, cleared 27 players with mostly mild symptoms to return to practice about a week before the Green Wave opened their season with a loss to Tulsa. Washington State had 16 players get sick before its home-opener Saturday — a loss to Stanford — amid a larger flu outbreak at the school. The university placed hand sanitizers at concession stands for the game, which drew just 22,386 fans — about 5,500 fewer than last year’s opener. Mississippi and Wisconsin have been dealing with seriously depleted rosters at practice this week as player after player has come down with the fever, coughing, body aches and sore throats that are symptoms of the H1N1 virus. Swine flu spreads the same way seasonal flu does, from an infected person sneezing or coughing near
other people or touching objects. People inhale the virus or pick it up by touching an infected person or object and then putting their hands to their own nose or mouth. In Oxford, Miss., the number of Rebels to miss practice with flu symptoms was up to 27 by Tuesday night, coach Houston Nutt said. That includes star quarterback Jevan Snead and top running back Dexter McCluster. The number of cases among the entire student body was approaching 400. The Rebels caught a break, however, because they are off this week and on Sept. 19 play Southeastern Louisiana, which is in a lower division. In Madison, Wis., at least 10 players were dealing with flu symptoms, and university officials say about 200 students sought medical attention the first week of school. Coaches have been tight-lipped about which players have been affected and if any will miss Saturday’s home game against Fresno State. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., Stillman College, which plays Division II football, had to cancel its opener last week against Clark Atlanta because 37 players had flu-like symptoms.
