Conflict lingers over Parent Association news@dailylobo.com
Although the UNM Parent Association bylaws state that electing board members is the responsibility of the association’s board of directors, the University has made an effort to re-form the association. Following a mass exodus of Parent Association board members last month, the UNM provost’s Chief of Staff Melissa Vargas sent out an email to the association’s Listserv in a search for parents who were willing to volunteer to be members of the new board. According to UNM Today, she received 14 responses. But Parent Association board member William Hauenstein said that, according to the association’s bylaws, board members are responsible for electing new board members. The association’s bylaws contain language that states candidates should be chosen by a “Nominating Committee, consisting of five members; one from the Board, three from the Association membership and the immediate past President.” The bylaws never state that the University can elect members, although it does state that bylaws “may be altered, amended or repealed…” and that the amendment “shall be made effective upon approval of the UNM Board of Regents.” Members of the board of directors resigned Aug. 20 and an emergency meeting followed on Aug. 21, but the meeting was not official because the association did not have a quorum. Since then, the association has not held a meeting and a formal amendment to the bylaws has yet to be made by the association or the UNM Board of Regents. Hauenstein said that although he decided not to resign from his post, as the majority of the association did last month, he was never notified of the

University’s attempt to re-form the association. “I haven’t talked to anybody from the Provost’s office. They haven’t contacted me. I wasn’t aware of the situation,” he said. “It’s sort of disenfranchising me as a part of the board.” Hauenstein said past members quit because the University has been imposing on the association too much, even though the association is a self-governing body affiliated with UNM. He said the University has not met the association’s demands, which include better advisement and a decrease in the fees that go to funding Athletics. “There’s a disconnect in the interests of the Parent Association and the University,” he said. “The University basically wants to have more control over certain things and the Parent Association doesn’t think that should have occurred.” Hauenstein said that in light of the controversy surrounding the association and the University, he is skeptical about whether the association will stay together. “It all depends on if it actually happens or not, and if there’s such a bad taste on people’s mouths about what happened and why.” But Parent Association Executive Director and Associate Provost for Curriculum Greg Heileman said that in searching for Parent Association volunteers, the University did not infringe on the association’s bylaws. “We are not choosing new members for the PA board. We have only asked for volunteers willing to serve on that board,” he said. He said that the association will go through the necessary election process after the University puts together a group of people willing to serve on the board. “The PA membership will need to reconstitute their board according to their own bylaws,” he said.
Heileman said the association has been in turmoil since May, when Suzanna Ausborn was elected president. Ausborn quit shortly after she was elected, and former president David Garrett replaced her in June 2012. Subsequently, Garrett, along with the vice president and the majority of the association’s board members, resigned before the fall 2012 semester started. Heileman said the University tried to hold an emergency meeting on Aug. 17, following the resignations of some of the board members, but the association denied the request. “The UNM administration requested a special meeting for the process of discussing the future role of and support for the PA,” he said. “The PA did not honor this request.” Heileman said that Parent Association Treasurer Francis Page
Nourish International works with organizations specific to the area it wants to help. The UNM chapter worked with Project Amazons, a humanitarian nongovernment organization, to build a health clinic for the Santo Tomás community service project. Pratt said that Nourish International also worked directly with the Peruvian community to better assess the residents’ needs and foster ideas. “We didn’t want it to be like ‘Here we are from America and our way of life is better and we’re going to tell you what to do,’” she said. Daniel Ebbs, a member of Nourish International, said working with the village was critical for the project’s success. “When we get there, it’s actually the communities deciding whether or not they want it (the health clinic) and where they want it,” he said. “That way they’re invested in the project.”
Both Pratt and Ebbs said the work in Peru was grueling; they had to clear dense jungle from the location for the clinic and build the structure from the ground up with very limited resources. “We had machetes, wheelbarrows, pickaxes and a chainsaw,” Pratt said. “We were literally cutting down trees.” The new health clinic is set to open in February 2013, less than a year after construction began. Aside from being able to help the local community, Pratt said that the experience of the trip itself was unparalleled and taught her to appreciate things that Americans take for granted, such as indoor plumbing and cars. “A lot of my friends are like ‘I need a new purse,’” she said. “And the people there don’t have purses or even a refrigerator.” Pratt said organization members are already planning next summer’s

Page resigned shortly before the Aug. 17 meeting was held. Heileman said the association has not formally disbanded, and that the memorandum of agreement between the University and the association is still active. “The agreement is still in effect, and the University has been operating to the best of our abilities according to that agreement,” he said. The Memorandum of Understanding states that the University “will not interfere with issues and operations of the Association…” and that the agreement is “not intended to compromise the independence of the Association.”
Heileman said the University will work very closely to mend the existing association and the administration does not plan to establish a new association in the future. “I don’t think there will be a new PA,” he said. “Hopefully the existing PA will reconstitute a board that will allow them to work with UNM. No new money is being allocated to this effort.” Heileman said the association has helped students in the past by providing about $40,000 in scholarships last year and establishing a framework that guides parents, especially those of firstgeneration college students. He said he hopes that these successes will continue, despite the problems surrounding the association. “I would like to see a functioning PA that works closely with the University faculty and staff in order to improve the success of UNM students,” he said.

Mercedes Pratt, a full-time student at UNM, works every day to help people in third-world countries gain access to better health care and other essential needs. Pratt is a co-director for the UNM chapter of Nourish International, an organization that raises money yearround to send members around the world to help communities in crisis. Over the summer, the organization hosted a trip to Peru to help a rural village, Santo Tomás, build a new health clinic. Pratt said villagers often have access to health care just once a year from mobile boat clinics. “A lot of people have parasites from bad drinking water because there isn’t a lot of preventive health care,” she said. “They can only get treated when a mobile boat clinic comes around.”

Graduate student fights for scholarship fund
UNM graduate student Sarah Coffey said she’s always had a knack for winning arguments. “I’ve always been annoyingly argumentative,” Coffey said. “When I run into friends from high school from the past and they ask me what I’m doing, when I say ‘law school’ they say ‘go figure.’” Coffey is the executive finance committee chair of UNM’s Graduate and Professional Students Association (GPSA) and is currently focused on passing the bylaws for the Graduate Scholarship Fund, the organization’s proposed student graduate scholarship, through GPSA. GPSA began fundraising for the proposed scholarship last spring and raised $49,000 for the fund. The scholarship was created after Congress cut subsidized loans for graduate students across the country. Having paid for most of her college career through student loans, Coffey said the scholarship is financial relief that graduate students desperately need. “This scholarship was kind of an olive branch to students, saying ‘We know you’re hurting,’” she said. “It’s a way to try to help those in need because those subsidized loans are no longer available.” Coffey is currently co-editing the scholarship’s bylaws and qualifications with GPSA President Marisa Silva. In order to qualify for the scholarship, a graduate student must be a member of GPSA, within three semesters of graduating and provide a 500-word proposal. Coffey said a GPA requirement is still pending. If enacted, students receiving the scholarship will be awarded $1,000. Coffey said she hopes to get the scholarship’s bylaws passed by the end of September. “My fingers are crossed that it will get done in September. I think it will,” she said. “Everyone knows people need the extra assistance, especially with the economy in a downturn.” Coffey’s interest in law began when she was an undergraduate student at UNM. Coffey said she was pursuing a major in sociology during her junior year when she realized she could make an impact on the community by studying law. “I was like, yeah, I want to go into that because that’s just a way that I can make decisive change and that’s what I want to do. I want to affect the community in a positive way,” she said. Her involvement with GPSA began in 2010, after working with the New Mexico Public Interest Research Group (NMPIRG) while she was an undergraduate student. Coffey said she wanted to join GPSA after receiving general help from the organization. “This organization and the students that have been a part of it have always been helpful in my life and the students around me’s lives, and I just wanted to be a part of that,” she said. Coffey has moved her way up since joining the graduate organization. As tuition and fees chair in 2011, she fought to keep tuition down

No politicians at 9/11 memorial by Jennifer Peltz
The Associated Press NEW YORK — The Sept. 11 anniversary ceremony at ground zero has been stripped of politicians this year. But can it ever be stripped of politics? For the first time, elected officials won’t speak today at an occasion that has allowed them a solemn turn in the spotlight. The change was made in the name of sidelining politics, but some have rapped it as a political move in itself. It’s a sign of the entrenched sensitivity of the politics of Sept. 11, even after a decade of commemorating the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. From the first anniversary in 2002, the date has been limned with questions about how — or even whether — to try to separate the Sept. 11 that is about personal loss from the 9/11 that reverberates through public life. The answers are complicated for Debra Burlingame, whose brother Charles was the pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon. She feels politicians’ involvement can lend gravity to the remembrances, but she empathizes with the reasons for silencing officeholders at the New York ceremony this year. “It is the one day, out of 365 days a year, where, when we invoke the term ‘9/11,’ we mean the people who died and the events that happened,� rather than the political and cultural layers the phrase has accumulated, said Burlingame, who’s on the board of the organization that announced the change in plans this year. “So I think the idea that it’s even controversial that politicians
Allan Tannenbaum / AP Photo President Obama delivers remarks during the 10th anniversary ceremonies at the Sept. 11 memorial in New York. This year’s Sept. 11 anniversary in New York will be the first in which politicians are excluded from speaking at the commemoration ceremony at ground zero. wouldn’t be speaking is really rather remarkable.� Remarkable, perhaps, but a glimpse through the political prism that splits so much surrounding Sept. 11 into different lights. Officeholders from the mayor to presidents have been heard at the New York ceremony throughout the years. But in July, the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum — led by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as its board chairman — announced that this year’s version would include only relatives reading victims’ names. Politicians still may attend. The point, memorial President Joe Daniels said, was “honoring the victims and their families in a way free of politics� in an election year. Some victims’ relatives and commentators praised the decision. “It
is timeâ€? to extricate Sept. 11 from politics, the Boston Globe wrote in an editorial. But others said keeping politicians off the rostrum smacked of politics. The move came amid friction between the memorial foundation and the governors of New York and New Jersey over progress on the memorial museum. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have signaled their displeasure by calling on federal officials to give the memorial a financial and technical hand. Some victims’ relatives see the no-politicians anniversary ceremony as retaliation. Both states’ governors have traditionally been invited to participate. “Banning the governors of New York and New Jersey from speaking is the ultimate political decision,â€? said one relatives’ group, led by retired Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches. His firefighter son and namesake was killed responding to the burning World Trade Center. To Riches, political leaders’ presence shows a nation’s respect and recognizes their role in passing laws that aided victims’ families and people sickened by working at ground zero. Charles G. Wolf feels it’s time to take political voices out of the anniversary this year. He thinks that the public’s connection to Sept. 11 has changed, and that the ceremony should, too. “We’ve gone past that deep, collective public grief,â€? says Wolf, whose wife, Katherine, was killed at the trade center. “And the fact that the politicians will not be involved, to me, makes it more intimate, for the families. I think that the politicians don’t need to be there, personally. ‌ It can be just us. That’s the way that it can be now.â€?

opinion@dailylobo.com
From the web Editor’s note: Readers on DailyLobo.com responded to the column “Obstructionist GOP truly at fault,” published in the Sept. 4 issue of the Daily Lobo. In the column, Charlie Shipley criticizes the GOP, saying the party makes decisions that benefit politicians rather than the people and votes in a way that prevents the Democratic Party from getting their way. By “GOTB” “Charlie obviously has some personal axe to grind, hence another left-wing article in a university paper that heralds any and all liberal ideas and concepts regardless of accuracy or fact. The U.S. certainly experiences difficulty when attempting to decide which campaign’s lies and distortions are the most appealing. Clint Eastwood’s stage time was not pulled off well, all agreed. But the guy is 82 years old and still directing movies, and etc. The empty chair exercise is a well-known phenomenon. Had it been done well, perhaps it would have made a more positive impression. The fact is, Obama is a partisan president who has spent much of his time extending the campaign throughout his presidency. It’s always possible to blame the legislature for a lack of presidential accomplishments, but the fact remains that he is ineffective.” By “Jeffrey Paul” “Why is it that whenever someone disagrees with a conservative, they are labeled as a ‘leftist?’ Perhaps a better choice of words would be a ‘realist.’” By “FlameCCT” “I would point out one simple fact. The Democrat-controlled Senate has not passed a budget for three years, two of which had a Democratcontrolled House. They have voted down President Obama’s proposed budgets, which received no votes from either Republicans or Democrats for the past two years. Now please explain again, without the histrionics, how the Republicans, who have passed numerous bills that lie dormant in the do-nothing Democratic Senate (including budgets which received more votes than the president’s budget) are the party of no. Also, please explain how the Republicans have stopped President Obama’s plans when the same Republicans could not stop the disaster known affectionately as Obamacare. Y’all remember the same Obamacare, which was not a tax before the Supreme Court said it was only constitutional as a tax, included 21 new taxes and taking $716 billion from Medicare seniors.” By “CodyA” “I love how the Democrats try to defend the ‘You didn’t build that’ quote. Somebody with half a brain can see Obama’s true bourgeois versus proletarian colors shine through in that speech. He is obviously working to get the poor to resent the rich, the employees to resent the business owners. True class warfare, folks. He is saying that just because you built that road that a successful business uses, you should be entitled to some of their wealth. He is demeaning the huge risks and work ethic that made successful people successful. As for the Internet, that was a Department of Defense project, which wouldn’t be near the Internet we know today if it wasn’t for private sector ingenuity. Of course, he fails to mention that part.” By “Chayal Boded” “All the sound and fury and vapors to say you don’t like Republicans? Ha! What an empty chair. Mr. Romney, time to tell the Democrats ‘Get out of my country!’” By “docsavage” “Oh George W., where are you hiding? Your country needs you.” By “Damian” “George (W. Bush) has far more in common with Obama than he does with Ryan. (Romney is somewhat more distant, too.) Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind, Troubled Asset Relief Program: all government spending, all small examples of entitlement programs, not to mention all the vast expansion of the federal government. If you are just simply looking for another Republican (or maybe just another adult that will take responsibility) to blame all the economic woes on, elect Romney. It is far better for this country when the left is complaining about government, anyway. We can trick them into doing it by putting an (R) next to the establishment of the entitlement programs.”
Letters Today’s GOP shames its past, resembles Taliban Editor, The Republican Party in the days of Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon and even Reagan was a normal political party with its own set of standards that were moderate in most cases. They usually had no problem working with Democrats on most issues. Now, they want to impose their will on women and not let them have abortions, even if the women are raped. They want to regulate women’s contraception and who can get married, and they want you to worship the person they interpret as God. This is nothing more than a minor version of the Taliban, which does the same thing, but which is a little more extreme. Eisenhower, Goldwater and even Reagan respected women. They believed, correctly, that abortion was between a woman, her doctor and her God, and was none of the government’s business. They weren’t homophobes, and they wanted to keep all religion out of government. Reagan and Goldwater fought hard to keep God out of the Republican platform. Believe me, I know and like God, and he isn’t anything like this Republican/ Taliban party portrays him to be. Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are rolling over in their graves watching these right-wing extremists, the Republican/Taliban Party trying to subvert America to their socially extreme way of thinking. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is a decent human being, but he is in the wrong party.
Candidate to help battle NM genetic brain illness
We must keep searching, pondering puzzle of life
Editor’s note: This is in response to the letter “Rare disease apparently not worth Wilson’s regard,” published in the Aug. 24 issue of the Daily Lobo. In the letter, author Joyce Gonzales criticizes congressional candidate Heather Wilson for refusing to co-sponsor a resolution concerning cerebral cavernous malformation, a rare disease that disproportionately affects Hispanics and has a 400-year history in New Mexico. Editor,
Editor,
Cerebral cavernous malformation is a disease that occurs when abnormal, raspberry-shaped blood vessels develop in the brain and spinal cord. It afflicts more Hispanics than any other ethnic group in New Mexico. Because the disease is so difficult to detect without the right technology, it often goes undiagnosed. Left untreated, it can cause seizures, hemorrhages and even death. While detection methods have improved over the years, it is not enough. We must increase awareness, education and technology so that doctors in New Mexico — and elsewhere — are able to detect and diagnose this disease at its earliest stages. That is why in the U.S. Senate I will join Sen. Tom Udall and co-sponsor his legislation that increases awareness, education and research of this disease. As public servants, it is our duty and responsibility to protect the people of New Mexico. And I’ll do just that in the U.S. Senate.

We human beings have become very adept at finding many pieces of the puzzle of what has unfolded since our universe came into being, but we are still not able to determine how all those individual pieces fit together to form the entire picture. What is most important is that all of us remain aware of that and keep searching, instead of any group of us deciding that it has assembled the entire puzzle and trying to force all the rest of us to stop searching and accept their version of the puzzle as the one and only complete and correct version. In a word, we must remain aware that we are interdependent if we are to continue to expand our consciousness and prosper. Robert Gardiner Daily Lobo reader

‘Salesman’ depicts dying dreams by Graham Gentz
I like my theater bleak and waiting to die. The type that breaks down into the best of dark despairs: naked, horrifying tragedy and the fatalism of a crippling reality. “Death of a Salesman� is all of that. It also happens to be one of the best plays ever written. The American Dream has long been dissected and scrutinized, but
has done it quite so well as writer Arthur Miller did in 1949. The characters are simple and the tragedy is complex. The play possesses layers upon layers of delusion and sorrow in which the only hope is false and denial is king. It also makes for a really good date. Willy Loman is the man you get to watch slowly die, a tired and deluded salesman with the weight of years of mistakes deciding his ultimate fate. The genius of Miller’s writing is that he
finds some way to make Willy noble as well. It is painful to watch someone lie to himself so profusely, but there is also beauty in seeing his dreams. The Vortex Theatre cast really punches the right guts and jerks the right tears. Willy’s wife Linda, played by Lorri Oliver, is simply phenomenal. Linda is the moral center of the play, and Oliver owns the part. Her quality and control of diction and tone are

point A to point B. Some just take it to a more difficult and extreme level, in some cases jumping off a building or from wall to wall. Parkour is as difficult as the practitioner makes it. Anyone can learn it.� Salas teaches adults as well as children, with classes starting for members as young as 5 years old. Daniel, whose two young children are involved with the program, said children take naturally to the extreme sport. “It’s reasonably set up like casual gymnastics in that it’s go all the time — it’s related to natural play for kids,� he said. “A lot of it is just giving kids obstacles and some basic movements and helping them progress through. It’s pretty interesting what kids can do. Pretty much every kid does it; at some point we learn it’s not acceptable behavior to climb on whatever’s around you or just express yourself through movement, so they haven’t learned that yet and hopefully they never do. Why stop playing?�

It was late one night in 1998 when Donna and her boyfriend Daniel scaled the abandoned Albuquerque High building to look over the city. Little did Donna know she would spend years climbing around Albuquerque with him. “At first I thought it was crazy, I thought I was just dating a guy who liked to climb and jump off of things,� Donna said. “It didn’t have a name back then, but yeah, that was my introduction to parkour.� Donna and Daniel French are the co-owners of Zero Point Parkour & Fitness, New Mexico’s first and only parkour gym. Parkour is an athletic way of moving around obstacles and is often distinguished by flips and leaps from the tops of buildings, as well as climbs and rolls over obstacles such as walls and fences. Zero Point Parkour & Fitness is geared specifically toward this free-running sport and features a scaled wall — which resembles a skateboard half-pipe — to run up, several hanging ropes, an inflatable mound to tumble on and a jumping ledge beside a giant foam pit. Donna said she never expected her husband’s interest in parkour to leap from a hobby to a business. “Growing up, climbing trees is all I did, but when I met Daniel, I just thought he was a crazy hyperactive kid. That’s all I ever thought of it,� she said. “But now we got married, he’s 33, he never grew out of it. Now that it has a name and a following, it’s a little more organized, rather then being ‘Hey, let’s go to an abandoned building and climb it for fun.’� Donna and Daniel’s interest in opening a parkour gym began when they competed for an extreme obstacle television program, “American Ninja Warrior.� The televised competition features athletes who scale walls, climb monkey bars and dangle from ropes. A former competitor, Daniel constructed an obstacle course in his backyard to gear up for the event. The couple noticed that the most competitive contestants were members of Apex Movement, a new parkour gym in Colorado, so the two decided to open a parkour gym of their own. Daniel said that the recent rise in parkour’s popularity has changed the public’s perception of parkour; it is now considered a more serious sport. “I think a lot of it was just a close-minded view of what is a sport,� Daniel said. “Oh, that’s not sporty, that’s just running and jumping off of things. If you’re not competing in things like a decathlon or if you’re not running a 100-yard dash, it doesn’t really count, you’re just goofing off.� Zero Point parkour instructor and gymnast Jaret Salas teaches gym members how to safely approach the sport. Salas competed alongside Donna and Daniel at this year’s “American Ninja Warrior� and placed in the event’s top 15 before competing in the show’s next round in Las Vegas, Nev. Salas said that parkour’s daring acts are similar to gymnastics. “It’s like gymnastics. Gymnastics looks very difficult, and it’s very easy to injure yourself, but through proper technique and training and strengthening, it can be just as safe as any other sport,� Salas said. “It’s a movement, getting from

teatro chicana thursday, september 13, 2012 4:00-6:00pm kiva lecture hall @ UNM The 1970s and 1980s saw the awakening of social awareness and political activism in Mexican-American communities. In San Diego, a group of Chicana women participated in a political theatre group named Teatro de las Chicanas (later known as Teatro Laboral and Teatro Raíces) whose plays addressed social, gender, and political issues of the working class and the Chicano Movement. Teatro Chicana tells the story of this troupe through chapters featuring the history and present-day story of each of the main actors and writers, as well as excerpts from the group's materials and seven of their original short scripts. Join the Women Studies Program and Women’s Resource Center for this amazing chance to hear 5 members of Teatro Chicana share their experiences as playwrights, performers, and activsts. They will also read from their anthology and be available for Q & A. A book sale and signing will follow the presentation. Co-sponsored by Dean- College of Arts & Sciences, Southwest Hispanic Research Institute, Chicano/Hispano/ Mexicano Studies, Feminist Research Institute, Center for the Southwest, Departments of History, English and American Studies.

positively engrossing, and from sweet to powerful, her voice demands your attention. Tyler Strand expertly performs Charley, the voice of reason. The success of Charley and his son Bernard — a nerdily effective Theodore Hamblin — creates the tragedies and insecurities of Willy and his own two sons. Biff, played by Richard Boehler, and Happy, played by Paul Hunton, represent a legacy for Willy that is ultimately fictitious. Biff is the only character to break from the stifling delusion of society and his father’s interpretation and enactment of the American Dream. Happy is the true legacy for Willy’s deluded destruction, having learned from his father’s mistakes by the end of the play. There are some rough patches for the two actors, though they find plenty of solid moments throughout the play as well. Director James Cady comes in for small cameos as a romanticized figment of Willy’s dead older brother Ben, found deep in the recesses of Willy’s gently dying synapses. Cady is remarkably engaging as a young boy’s heroic
fantasy, complete with a ‘40s movie star voice. Even the bit parts are enjoyable, with Janine O’Neill and Christy Burbank playing a lovely pair of prostitutes and John Lopez playing a waiter who just tries too hard. Joni Lloyd’s titillating laughter will get a rise out of you for sure, and Tim Riley’s single scene as the schmuck boss Howard is also welcome. Willy himself is portrayed by Philip J. Shortell. Willy Loman is a difficult part and requires much of an actor, and for his performance, Shortell deserves praise. While the storytelling involves flashback and outright fantasy, it’s all within the memory and context of Willy. When Willy is not onstage, the other characters are talking about him. This is perhaps some of the best and most subtle work in the Vortex’s production repertoire. The 1949 Pulitzer Prize winner is deeply psychological, and the staging and use of light express this beautifully. In the scenes of sinful indulgence, there is a thick, tawdry light that flushes the scene. Each transition slides effortlessly from the
now to remembrance to hallucination and back. The play floats as Willy floats, and the audience floats with him. Shortell must be this man in all his vulnerabilities and ideals and madness and sadness, and he truly is. It may make you cry. Miller has written a character that is a badge of theater careers, like Hamlet or Tevye. The sickness and horror of Willy Loman is the sickness and horror of America. His is an everyman’s anthem, terrible and ugly, but freeing, as the truth often is.
