Trees grow from change
AIRBORNE
by Michael Howland-Davis mnhdavis@unm.edu
Juan Labreche / Daily Lobo Karl LaVine practices tricks on his trials bike around campus Monday. This trick is called a 360 endo drop and it took Karl three years to master . Karl has been riding for nine years.
A handful of nickels may not save the world, but it adds up. The Staff Environs Committee’s Change for Trees program collects spare change to keep UNM green. The program began three years ago when UNM took pruning shears to the landscaping budget. “Keeping the campus green is important to us,” said Karen Wentworth, co-chair of the Staff Environs Committee. “As a committee, we were really bothered by how battered the campus looked, and we thought more trees were the answer. There’s a lot of concrete on campus, and we thought that if we could plant more trees and get them to grow, that would at least provide shade.” The Environs Committee is composed of elected members of the UNM Staff Council. It raises funds for planting trees, bushes and other foliage and works with the University landscaping department to choose and plant the foliage in order to avoid the spread of invasive species, Wentworth said. The Change for Trees program focuses on planting large, shadeproducing trees that can grow up to 60 feet tall. “Landscaping budgets have been clipped, and clipped, and clipped over the years,” Wentworth said. “You don’t see really fresh flowers
on campus anymore because no one has the money to pay for them.” The Staff Environs Committee change jars are located in the food court of the SUB. “We are asking people to drop their spare change into one of our change jars and we’ll buy trees,” Wentworth said. “Donations have become the key to keeping our campus green. There just isn’t any money for niceties like plants and trees — we can’t take it out of student fees, and the state doesn’t have any money. There’s just nowhere else it can come from at this point.” Linda McCormick, co-chair of the Staff Environs Committee, said so far the program has raised more than $4,600. “It’s a really neat program and the generosity of UNM’s students, staff and faculty is wonderful,” she said. “It’s incredibly rewarding when we can translate their generosity into not just beauty but utility for the university.” McCormick said the committee has planted flowering pear trees in front of Johnson Center and hawthorn bushes and other foliage near the Mechanical Engineering building. “It was just a barren concrete desert over by mechanical engineering and we needed to change that,” she said. “However, someone dug up and stole all of the underplanting last April. We had lavender and several other shade-
resistant species and someone came in and took them, so we ended up replacing those as well.” In addition to beautifying the campus, the new trees help reduce the University’s environmental impact, she said. “Not only do they provide shade but they lower the University’s heat island effect,” she said. “Best of all, they don’t cost too much so we can really make a difference.” McCormick said it costs about $500 to plant and maintain a tree for its 50-year lifespan. The trees come with a warranty as well. Greg Molecke, a UNM alumnus and member of the committee, said he wants to see UNM’s trees and green space preserved. “I’ve always been interested in the environment of UNM,” he said. “I’m a bit of a tree-hugger to begin with, and when I was elected to the Staff Council I knew this was something that I wanted to be a part of.” Molecke said UNM planning should focus on more green space, not more buildings. “The biggest issue I see is that there are so many new buildings that have gone up since I was an undergrad,” he said. “Although these new buildings are needed, there were spaces that had quite a few trees that just aren’t there anymore. Besides planting trees, we strongly advocate that any time a tree is cut down we’d like to see a new tree planted to ensure we keep the campus beautiful.”
Regents approve Master Plan, discuss funding by Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com The UNM Board of Regents on Tuesday officially adopted the University’s Consolidated Master Plan, a 10-15 year development plan intended to help UNM accommodate a projected 10-year state population growth of more than 1 million people. The plan includes increased oncampus housing and a proposed recreation center that would be located along Central Avenue and connected to Johnson Gym via an elevated walkway. In April, 67 percent of students voted against an ASUNM ballot amendment that would have funded a recreation center by increasing student fees by more than $100 per semester. GPSA President Katie Richardson said she would have liked to see more student input taken into account while developing the Master Plan. “I think the Master Plan has excellent strategic recommendations and a forward-thinking approach,” Richardson said. “But, to my knowledge, input on the plan was limited to the advisory committee and the Greek community.” Dale Dekker of Dekker, Perich and Sabatini, the firm in charge of designing the plan, said he is comfortable with the level of public involvement in the plan. “We’ve tried very diligently to engage a wide variety of people for their input, and I think the plan reflects

that,” he said. Student Regent Jacob Wellman said there were early opportunities for students to speak up. “Two years ago there was a website where anyone in the University could review the plan and give their comments, and I think they were incorporated into the plan at the time,” he said. In 2009, the ‘Master Planning’ page of UNM’s website offered a forum for public comment on the Master Plan. Development of the plan began in 2007. The forum received 106 comments, all from 2009, from UNM students and community members on topics ranging from transportation and campus safety to Greek life and individual educational departments. The website is inactive, but comments are available for viewing via PDF. Richardson also expressed reservations about increased on-campus housing outlined in the Master Plan. “I am unconvinced that on-campus housing will benefit all students equally,” she said. “I think it benefits students that would succeed anyway — that is, those who are economically able. I don’t think it’s something that UNM resources should be going toward, not when we had only 75 percent of last year’s freshman class returning.” Three of the online comments pertain to student housing, and all three expressed concerns over the I-25 and Avenida César Chávez

Also at the meeting: •
UNM President David Schmidly said changes are in store for New Mexico’s Formula Funding, which is the primary way the University receives state-appropriated dollars.“ The Governor and the Secretary of Education have determined we need a new formula for higher education,” he said. Schmidly said a funding task force will be formed to examine funding based on the success of at-risk students and completion of courses rather than census enrollment data.
•
Regents tabled a final decision on their travel policy to further investigate the legal aspects of changing the level of per diem funding staff, faculty and graduate students would receive when travelling. University Counsel Lee Peifer said there had been much discussion about the cost and revenue implications of the policy. Both the Regents Audit Committee and Finance & Facilities Committee reviewed the policy. The Audit Committee found the current policy, which pays $71 for in-state meals, is not in accordance with state law, which only allows for $30. Members of the Audit Committee said the policy should be changed to reflect state law. President Schmidly said it was essential that the policies adhere to legal standards at both the state and federal level.
•
Regents detailed and approved a financial sustainability plan for UNM’s golf courses. Mountain West GolfScape Inc., a local golf landscaping company, was awarded the maintenance contract. Measures are being taken to increase the market share of the UNM golf courses by one-half of a percent to one percent for the 2012 fiscal year. In July, three Anderson School of Management graduates presented their suggestions on how to sustain the golf courses to Institutional Support Services. Some of those initiatives include defining new and clear missions for both courses, which could be rebranded as not only sporting venues, but also social events venues. The graduates also suggested the golf courses should increase advertising efforts.

Career Paths A weekly peek at unique niches
by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
John Posen is a semi-professional strongman who is tire-flipping and semi-truck-pulling his way to nationals. “It started when I watched the show ‘World’s Strongest Man’ on TV,” he said. “I had initially started with a body building style of training, but I realized my strength and build were more suited to strongman.” Posen said strongman competitions are unique because of the variety of events as compared with traditional weight lifting. “It’s very endurance-based,” he said. “You have to train a lot of cardio as well as muscular strength. In Olympic lifting, for instance, you are only going to train for two or three events where you usually need to do just one rep. In strongman there could be as many as 150 events.” The 6’5”, 355-pound 21-year-old won the heavyweight division on the Arizona Strongman Competition in
May, and is currently training to participate in the Amateur National Competition in Tunica Mississippi on Nov. 4 and 5. Posen said he hopes to be sponsored and professionally certified through North American Strongman, the leading organization for the sport in the U.S. “I want to do this for a career,” he said. “I love it and it tests functional strength in a way no other sport can. In strongman every contest is different, and that is what I love about it,” The Arizona competition featured a log press, farmers carry, max dead-lift, sandbag loading race, a tire flip and anchor chain drag medley. Posen’s garage in the North East Heights is filled with specialized equipment he built by hand. “This stuff is expensive and not many companies make it, so I started making my own,” he said. “I’ve got 10 different Atlas stones ranging from 195 to about 430 pounds. I’ve got the monster circus dumbbell and the axle, which is

just a really thick bar that we use for pressing. I’ve got sand bags, empty and loaded kegs for throwing and giant tractor tires,” Posen builds his own Atlas stones using inserts and a cement mixer. The Atlas stones are his best event, he said. Posen said he began training about a year and a half ago and first participated in a contest in Phoenix. There are currently no local competitions for the sport, and Posen said the lack of a strongman community in New Mexico makes training an individual effort. “I’m usually just in the gym by myself,” he said. Posen said he learned lifting techniques from videos and articles, but said learning by doing is the key to his success. “Training is more experience than book smarts,” he said. “You can read all the stuff you want, but until you actually do it, you don’t know how it feels.”

Batteries: Harmful if swallowed by Jim Salter
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Serious and fatal incidents of children swallowing button batteries (button cells) are on the rise, and a leading battery maker is hoping to raise awareness about the problem. The flat, coin-sized battery doesn’t typically cause choking, but it can get stuck in the esophagus and cause severe burning, leading to lifelong problems. In rare cases, children can bleed to death, according to Dr. Toby Litovitz, director of the National Capital Poison Center. St. Louis-based Energizer Battery Company is joining with a child safety advocacy group to alert parents and caregivers about the dangers of coin cell lithium batteries. The battery maker and Safe Kids USA plan to announce their partnership Wednesday. The batteries are common in adult products that tend to get into the hands of young children — remotes, electronic key fobs, even singing greeting cards.
In Tuesday’s
story “Old buildings
impede learning,” Sara Raynolds Hall was
incorrectly identified
as Sara Reynolds hall, and Physical Plant Department Mary
Vosevich was incorrectly referred to as Mark
Vosevich in the pull quote.
Eleven children have died after swallowing button batteries over the past six years, and the National Capital Poison Center said about 3,500 swallowing cases are reported annually in the U.S. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about button batteries in March. “You could really say it’s an invisible threat,” said Stacey Harbour, director of marketing for Energizer. “Most of these devices are just so readily available, and because the battery door isn’t secure it just makes it very accessible to the child.” Karla Rauch was preparing a first birthday party for her son, Emmett, last October when he came down with a fever and began acting lethargic. She took him to an urgent care center and was told he had a cold or flu. But days later, Emmett began throwing up blood. An X-ray found the button battery lodged in his esophagus. Rauch said the battery came out of a remote control she had left on the floor; when Emmett got hold of it, the battery snapped
right out. Nearly a year later, Emmett has undergone 14 surgeries to repair holes in his esophagus and other damage caused by the battery. He relearning how to swallow and suffers from chronic lung problems. “He’s a fighter,” Rauch said. “We just keep fighting with him.” Litovitz said severe and fatal swallowing injuries have increased sevenfold since 1985. Part of the reason is the increased use of lithium, which provides more power in the batteries, but also is more dangerous if swallowed, Litovitz said. “I think the parent is unknowingly thinking normal household products are safe for their children, and they’re not,” Litovitz said. Makers of toys and other products designed for children must meet certain standards to ensure batteries cannot be easily removed — such as requiring a screw to secure the compartment door. Those requirements don’t exist for products meant for adults, although children can often get their hands on them.
Master Plan from page 1 location outlined as the site for Lobo Village. Lobo Village opened its doors at that location last month. As part of the housing component of the Master Plan, 3,000 beds will be added to UNM’s central campus in several phases, the first of which was Lobo Village. According to UNM’s Strategic Housing Plan, the Princeton Review ranked UNM dormitories ninth in its “Dorms Like Dungeons” survey. The report said that while some existing residence halls should remain, the majority should be redeveloped to facilitate extensive maintenance and required system upgrades.

UNM Dems do it differently this year Editor, I don’t know what you may think about political organizations, but I could guess that you are probably wrong — at least when it comes to UNM Democrats. The days of standing around aimlessly with clipboards and calling strangers relentlessly are over. With the advancements of social media and changes in human interaction, there is a need for improvement in the modern campaign. Beginning this year, the UNM Dems will be reinventing the way political organizations interact and succeed. Chances are you have an interest in a particular social issue, whether you know it or not. Chances are you’d rather not associate with any party whatsoever. Well, I’m not here to argue that, but I will tell you that in today’s political system there are two parties — like it or not. One fights for the underprivileged, the youth, the working class and human rights. The other fights for the top 2 percent and those who blame unemployment, poverty and inequality on the individual. So, which side are you on? The UNM Dems are doing things a little differently these days. We’re not just having meetings and talking about politics together; we’re meeting all over Nob Hill and the University area and talking about whatever we want. It’s free thinking that leads to progressive actions, and those actions lead to movements and results. We’ve recently recruited more than 60 new members, but that’s nothing more than a good start. So, if you want to meet some interesting people who share a passion for helping others and are interested in what you already care about, then the UNM Dems is something you should take a look at. Our first general meeting will be held on campus this Friday at 5 p.m. The details are posted on our Facebook page, UNM College Democrats. If you’re interested in becoming a UNM Dem please join the page and stop in on Friday. We hope to see you there, but most importantly we hope you become active. Alex Bazan Vice president, UNM Dems
Authentic images trump silly Clip Art Editor, I’d like to acknowledge the Daily Lobo for its decision regarding the front page photo on Friday’s issue, which honored the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Choosing a photo that depicts the World Trade Center on fire is the most appropriate photo in terms of capturing the realness of 9/11. Unlike the Albuquerque Journal, which decorated its tribute cover with nothing but silly stars and crummy Clip Art drawings of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a tree (a symbol for United 93?), the Daily Lobo chose an actual photo that, as a reader, immediately sat me back down in my sixth grade class where I witnessed similar images broadcast live. In no way was the Sunday Journal’s front page an image that reflected 9/11. Rather, it was a mere reflection of Sept. 11, 2011, a time in which we pay tribute to the United State’s worst modern tragedy with clip art and stars. So thanks again, Daily Lobo, for choosing an image that serves as an authentic tribute for everything that encompasses the reality of 9/11. Sincerely, Sean Ritchel UNM student
Letters US health care flawed,
needs reform now Editor,
The 2011 Domenici Public Policy Conference, held on the NMSU campus in Las Cruces last week, brought together experts on America’s national debt, economic outlook, national and cyber security, science, technology and health care reform to discuss progress in these areas and what can be done to maintain America’s competitiveness on a global scale. Even though I work for a public policy organization, I attended the conference as one of 14 student representatives from UNM. There were three other state schools represented: NMSU, NM Tech and Western NM University. The conference reinforced one thing for me: America can address its national debt and reform health care while protecting safety net programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps/ SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare, all of which are so essential to the most vulnerable in our society. Politicians from both sides of the aisle need to work together to draft legislation that protects America’s future and generations to come. Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle spoke at length about health care reform, saying that despite ideological difference as to how America should address reform, considerable progress has been made. “There is agreement that, unlike many developed nations, the United States spends far more on health care while access and

quality have not improved,” the former senator said. “We spend $2.5 trillion today on health care … and the cost keeps on growing. In 1990, 35 million Americans were uninsured, in 2000 45 million were in the same situation and in 2020 it is estimated that, if nothing is done, 65 million Americans will not have insurance.”
“Politicians from both sides of the aisle need to work together to draft legislation that protects America’s future...” According to the former senator, the U.S. spends $8,500 for every man, woman and child — at a growth rate that is unsustainable over the long term. Delivering a higher quality of care at a lower cost can be done by making preventive care a priority and an integral part of health care reform. Even as he paints a drab picture of the American health care system, Daschle was also optimistic about Americans’ future and what we can all do to address health care costs in this country. He emphasized that the issue is “emotional, very, very difficult and extremely challenging. What we do know is that we can’t afford to fail to fix the problems, because at the current rate it is unsustainable.”
Daschle said that the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009 is just the beginning of health care reform. He emphasized that there are several things we must do as a country to contain the growth of health care costs. We can start by requiring the health care industry to promote transparency and preventive medicine and cut back on administrative costs by requiring 80 percent of expenses to go to recipients while 20 percent go to administration. Currently, it’s estimated that about one-third of all health care expenses go toward non-health-related costs. The adoption of efficiencies and coordination of care, also known as integrated patient care with an evidence-based approach, would also be instrumental. During the question-and-answer period, a student asked whether single-payer is still an option. The former senator said he believes a single-payer system is simply not possible in the U.S. because of the ideological differences between the two main political parties. In a single-payer system, one entity — a government-run organization would collect all health care fees and pay out all health care costs, much like Medicare. In closing his speech, Daschle said not only do we need an effective policy framework to address health care costs but, above all, Americans need to be innovative and collaborate, employ a technique called intelligent engagement and use our leadership skills to drive high-performance and highquality patient-centered health care. Kwaku Sraha UNM Student

Dance club in full swing

nicole11@unm.edu The faint sound of swing music wafts from the Johnson Gym basement and mingles with the shouts of sweaty basketball players nearby. The smell of old shoes and sweat is everywhere in the aerobics room, yet the twirling mass of couples there doesn’t seem to notice. Meet Jitterbugs Anonymous — UNM’s very own swing dancing club. Member and former club president Kevin Clark said swing dancing can be described as a high-energy partner dance that is not as strict as other traditional dance styles. “There isn’t a set pattern or routine you do,” Clark said. “You have a basic (set) of certain steps, but then you change the shape of those … It’s a lot more free than a ballroom dance might be. I like it because it’s very youthful, it’s full of energy, it’s very rhythmic and I like rhythms. Jazz and swing dance are based around rhythm, and so it’s like the physical exploration of that idea.” Danielle Easley, member and former vice president of Jitterbugs Anonymous, said swing is more social than any other dance form. “I feel like, in jazz and ballet, the more studio dances, there’s a lot of competition and less friendliness or community,” she said. “Swing dancing really emphasizes the community and friendshipbuilding.” While the actual dancing is enjoyable, Clark said there’s more to it than that. “There’s all those aerials and those are fun, but more so I liked the physical interaction between

And some people like dancing, too, and I’m one of them.” However, Clark said newcomers don’t need to be self-conscious about their dancing abilities because there is often a lesson at each session. The club sometimes holds workshops, Easley said, but the main purpose is simply to dance

Creativity thrives as funds dwindle by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Money might not be a match for the love of filmmaking. New Vision and other programs established by the New Mexico Film Office have suffered severe cuts this fiscal year. Trish Lopez, director of the New Mexico Filmmakers program, said that while indie filmmakers will have fewer resources from the state to execute their visions, this will not steer them away from the business they love. “If they want to be filmmakers, they’re going to find a way to be filmmakers,� she said. Cuts took effect at the start of the fiscal year, but Lopez said the program will look for ways to continue educating filmmakers at no expense to its office. Anyone interested in filmmaking needs only a camera and a laptop with the appropriate editing software, Lopez said. With these basic necessities, filmmakers can break into the industry and work their way up into major film production or work for their stories to be heard, eliminating money making as a concern. Bryan Konefsky, a professor in the cinematic arts department, said the concern with keeping up with technological trends is something the department de-emphasizes in favor of nurturing students’ “creative juices.� “As a result, one doesn’t need a Red camera to tell their story; if the story is that compelling, it will carry the technology,� he said. “As an example of this,
a friend recently told me about a dream she had where she met Orson Welles, and together they decided to make a movie. However, neither had a camera. Ultimately, they decided that they didn’t need a camera to make their movie: They simply carved the film into their arms. That knife was their version of a Red camera.â€? According to a 2010 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, this emphasis on creative development, as opposed to acquiring vocational skills, is becoming increasingly important. “To stay competitive, America will need to draw on its ability to tell stories, create visually compelling messages and designs, come up with new ways to organize and synthesize information and invent programs and businesses to solve complicated social problems or tap emerging markets,â€? the article said. Joe Montoya, a student of cinematic arts, said that there are innumerable film festivals that filmmakers can find out about through sites like Withoutabox. com. Festivals are a lucrative avenue for filmmakers to pursue because having a film festival on your rĂŠsumĂŠ helps it stand out among the rest, he said. “Even if you don’t win awards per se, the festivals make it legitimate,â€? he said. “You can’t be afraid of rejection, but that’s just life. Yes, you would like to win, it’s competitive and you want to do your best ‌ No matter what, you’ll have an audience who either appreciates it or not.â€?
partment, said students should seek hands-on experience. Breaking into the industry typically begins with a production assistant position, which involves dirty work like coffee runs and wrangling extras. This essentially serves as a networking opportunity for filmmakers to figure out what areas they’re most interested in and impress the people who could connect them with those kinds of jobs. “What most people think of when they think of film is what can be seen at the Cineplex,â€? Fort said. “That is just the tip of the filmic iceberg. The web has opened up huge areas of film/ video work ‌ In the current economy, everyone is concerned about where to get work. There are a lot more job opportunities for recent grads outside of major productions.â€? Local indie productions are always looking for people to fill a diverse range of positions on set, said Laura Brunette, a student of cinematic arts. Opportunity is readily available, though it typically pays in experience, she said. “I think the accessibility of the film industry depends primarily on your willingness to work for free,â€? Brunette said. “Generally, local shows don’t have very large budgets, so they can’t afford to pay crews. But what you do get out of it is experience and the opportunity to connect with filmmakers.â€?
To support themselves while developing a thorough vision of the story they want to tell, Deborah Fort, a professor in the cinematic arts de-

the anthology, operates as a platform for readers to contemplate more important issues, he said. “We can do a lot of things that aren’t big, magnanimous gestures,â€? Jones said. “We have to have a consciousness toward this.â€? He said the story was born during a writing exercise for Daniel Mueller’s creative fiction workshop. The story revolves around a middleclass American couple as they humbly offer a brand new automobile to the soon-to-be-wed royal couple. The car was to be a wedding present for their daughter and her fiancĂŠ — who were to be married on the same day as the royal couple — just before
they died in an airline accident. The parents are not prepared for the media frenzy that follows the arrival of their gift in London. The story draws attention to how easy it is for people to obsess over the lives of celebrities and dismiss real problems that the world is facing, Jones said. But Jones didn’t start in fiction. He has written for publications and newspapers for the last 35 years. “Journalism is a wonderful way to give you the discipline and the legs you need to write,� he said. Copies of the anthology can be purchased through the editor and publisher at ebay.co.uk.
Student ’s stor y goes global by Shari Brown
aweekfromnow@yahoo.com The English royal wedding was an international event that attracted millions of viewers, but it also led to a UNM graduate student’s first international publication. Von Jones, a student of the creative writing program, was published in an international writers anthology about the royal wedding called “Your Royal Wedding.� His story, entitled “Sic Transit Gloria Mundi,� or, translated from Latin, “Thus passes the glory of the world,� concludes the anthology. Jones’ story, unlike other interpretations in
