UNM offers Committee considers changes to smoking ban more funds for more scholars by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
The number of national scholars at UNM has more than doubled each year since 2007, according to the UNM Admissions Office. There are 77 national scholars enrolled at UNM, which is up from 38 in 2008 and 14 in 2007. “National scholars” is an umbrella term that covers National Merit Scholars, National Hispanic Recognition Scholars, National Achievement Scholars and National American Indian Scholars. These scholarships are awarded based on a combination of the practice SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test score and high school academic performance. The National American Indian Scholars use the ACT as their standardized test. In fall of 2008, the UNM President’s Office set up the National Scholars Scholarship, which gives $13,875 per year to national scholars. For in-state students, the average cost of attendance is almost $13,000, and it’s almost $24,000 for non-residents. On top of offering the scholarship, UNM follows “an aggressive communication plan that includes professional graphics and targeted messages in e-mail, letters and post cards (to recruit national scholars),” said Corine Gonzales, associate director of Admissions. UNM President David Schmidly and his administration have said national scholars are coveted students for the University. “UNM’s goals for enrollment management — recruiting greater numbers of National Scholars and graduate students — are important ones, not only in meeting state funding formulas but also in fulfilling our unique role as part of a higher educational system,” Schmidly wrote in a June 6 guest column in the Albuquerque Journal. The credit hours that national scholars take are factored into UNM’s state funding calculations. National scholars also tend to bring higher participation in classrooms, Gonzales said. Zach Gillooly, a freshman and National Merit Scholar, said UNM’s recruiting campaign showed him that the University values students who worked hard in high school. “UNM was also the only school that corresponded frequently with me about scholarships and reasons to attend,” Gillooly said. “The scholarship office worked diligently to get me to come to UNM.” Though the campaign got the
Stephen Wills is not pleased with UNM’s anti-smoking policy, and he let the UNM Smoke-Free Environment Committee know it at their meeting on Wednesday. “My grades dropped because of this,” he told the committee at an emergency meeting. The meeting was organized to discuss the Northrop Hall smoking area, which faculty say is sending smoke into the building itself. The committee will meet again on Oct. 7. Wills said he loses study time to walk to and from the designated smoking areas. He lives on campus and studies outside the Student Residence Commons halls, which makes it difficult to access the smoking areas quickly, he said. “What I would like to see — and I know this has happened in the past — is an exemption,” Wills said. He said that when smoking was banned inside the buildings
on campus, the residence halls remained smoking areas for two years. He wants to see a similar policy to allow students to smoke outside the residence halls for a period of time. He said it would also work to create more smoking areas close to the residence halls. Pug Burge, head of the committee, said she had a reason for not creating a lot of smoking areas. “We were very cautious about creating too many smoking areas, because we knew that if we gave out too many designated areas, it would be difficult to take them back,” she said. Wills said he feels he should be allowed to smoke close to his home, since he pays rent to live in the residence halls. “The problem is ... to me, this committee and this school are pushing their beliefs and their rights onto me,” he said. The committee thanked Wills for his feedback but did not commit to making any specific changes in the policy regarding residence halls.
The committee met to finetune several contested aspects of UNM’s smoke-free campus policy. They also discussed moving the smoking area at Northrop Hall, creating a designated smoking area for patrons of events at Popejoy Hall and creating an exemption allowing people to smoke at tailgate parties. John Geissman, earth and planetary sciences department chairman, came to the meeting to advocate moving the Northrop smoking location. He presented a petition with close to 100 signatures from people who feel the smoking area should be moved. Geissman walked with the committee to spots around campus to pick a new location. The committee did not make a final decision on where the smoking area from Northrop would go, but they did identify several possibilities. Their preferred location is on the north side of Popejoy Hall, across from the SUB. The other spots are on the walkway south of Northrop and across from Woodward Hall.
The committee also talked about creating an exemption from the normal smoking rules for performers and patrons of Popejoy Hall during special events. Jerry Davis, representing Popejoy at the meeting, said it would show respect for the performers to allow them to smoke. “We’re dealing with, in many cases, foreign cultures,” he said. “Like, I’ll throw the example out of Russian ballet dancers, who smoke fiendishly, you might say.” The committee did not reach a decision on whether to create a new smoking area for Popejoy. Another topic of discussion was the possibility of allowing smoking at tailgating events, which would allow smoking at the entire tailgate area instead of having a separate smoking area at the events. The committee did not decide whether to create the area or not. The committee is planning to remove all smoking areas on campus within five years. Burge said she hopes that by then students will be prepared for the change.
Government will ration vaccine for H1N1 virus by Linda A. Johnson The Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. — Plan on getting your swine flu shot at work? Don’t count on it. The new vaccine will be rationed initially to groups most at risk of contracting the virus or
developing complications — children and young adults, pregnant women, health care workers and the chronically ill. People caring for infants will also receive priority. Businesses may have to wait months to offer the shot, if they get it at all. The regular seasonal flu vaccine is available a bit earlier than usual,
and federal health officials recommend most people get that shot. Some employees are already lining up for it. But the strain that’s already a national fixture is swine flu. And for healthy adults, the vaccine will not be readily available. “I would prefer to have it done at work. Everything’s easier,” said Tom
Barclay, a 24-year employee of drug and chemical maker Bayer Corp. in Pittsburgh. “It’s very convenient.” The first swine flu vaccine should be available in the U.S. sometime around the first week of October. About 90,000 sites — mainly hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices,

Today in History
Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 17, 1862, in the bloodiest battle day in U.S. history, Union forces fought Confederate invaders in the Civil War Battle of Antietam at Sharpsburg, Md. In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was completed and signed by a majority of delegates attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. In 1909, the first trolley crossed New York City’s recently opened Queensboro Bridge in a test run. (Regular service began Oct. 4; the trolley was shut down in 1957.) In 1920, the American Professional Football Association — a precursor of the NFL — was formed in Canton, Ohio. In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland during World War II, more than two weeks after Nazi Germany had launched its assault.

The Associated Press HAVANA — Cuba will not make any political or policy concessions to improve relations with the U.S. — no matter how small, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said Wednesday, snubbing Washington’s suggestions that some reforms could lead to better ties. He told a news conference that the United States must lift its 47-yearold trade embargo without waiting for anything in return. Rodriguez said U.S. trade sanctions
have cost the island $96 billion in economic damage since they took their current form in February 1962 as part of the Trading with the Enemy Act. “The policy is unilateral and should be lifted unilaterally,” Rodriguez said. He called President Obama “wellintentioned and intelligent” and said that his administration has adopted a “modern, less aggressive” stance toward the island. But Rodriguez shrugged off the White House’s April decision to lift restrictions on Cuban-Americans who want to visit or send money to relatives in this country, saying those changes

simply undid a tightening of the embargo imposed by President George W. Bush. “Obama was a president elected on a platform of change. Where are the changes in the blockade against Cuba?” Rodriguez asked. Cuban officials have for decades characterized American trade sanctions as a blockade. Obama has suggested it may be time for a new era in relations with Cuba, but has also said he will not consider lifting the embargo. On Monday, he signed a measure formally extending the policy for one year.

FROM THE WEB In her Wednesday letter to the editor, “New campus policy does not consider smokers’ rights, needs,” Mona Angel wrote that smokers deserve more respect and shouldn’t be forced into uncomfortable designated smoking areas. Readers on DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘Thomas’ Posted Wednesday “... Is there any reason on this earth to accommodate any addict and their additions? What’s next, “Crack Rooms” for crack addicts? You smoke because you can’t quit. I have a limited amount of sympathy for you and draw the line at enabling you and your habit. ...” by ‘Jennifer’ Posted Wednesday “...I think my right to breathe fresh, clean air is more important than a smoker’s right to do potential harm to themselves. I want to be healthy to raise my child, and who will do that if I die of secondhand smoke?...” by ‘Mateo’ Posted Wednesday “When you’re finished persecuting the smokers, stop and think of what the author of the article suggested: All of us should be careful of imposing rules that take away the rights/limit the choices of others. ... Who’s next? Think it can’t or won’t happen to you? Just try and imagine how many people on this campus smoke. How much influence did they have? There are a lot of things that other people do that offend me, but that doesn’t mean that I have the right to tell them they can’t live their life, or make their own lifestyle choices.” by ‘dAMIAN’ Posted Wednesday “I have a right not to smell flatulations (farts). These can impair my thinking and cause me to be nauseated. We need to also ban farts on campus. What else? Where do we draw a line, cry babies?” by ‘Annie Shank’ Posted Wednesday “Passing gas vs. smoking. Apples vs. oranges, I say. First off, you must also take responsibility on this. That is, if you don’t want to be around a smoker, walk away! Your health is your own responsibility, not that of the random smoker. Of course smokers should respect the right of non-smokers not to breathe their smoke (which has already passed through their lungs and left the detritus you’re so worried about behind), but that does not mean your responsibility for your own health goes away. It’s all about respect, after all, and smokers deserve as much as you do. ...” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

room, like a classroom, those germs are still prevalent within the air that we, your classmates, breath. I guess you can’t get everyone to comply with the best practices. And please note, the best practices are not any guarantee of nonexposure. But I would suggest that the UNM medical staff provide face masks in all buildings for those of us who want to avoid the germs and for those who are doing the dirty deeds. This would greatly reduce breathing in classmates’ germs. Secondly, some kind of antibacterial hand wash should be made available at
classroom entrances, with a strong request that everyone use it prior to entering. Even sitting at a desk after a previous student is precarious. Something has to be said for online classes. This H1N1 virus is a killer and we, as a people, aren’t taking it seriously enough. Think of others before sneezing or coughing around campus. Stay home if you don’t feel well. Your professors will generally understand and work with you on your attendance. Thank you.
that financially punishes people who try to be healthy. It costs anywhere from $2.50 to $4 for a nutritious Odwalla drink as opposed to $4 for a 12pack of soda. There is not a single healthy restaurant with prices comparable to McDonald’s dollar menu. As for exercise, some people pay for gym memberships plus tax to workout while others sit and watch basic television for free. The government needs to tax fast food and
energy drinks like they do with cigarettes. They also need to provide tax incentives for companies that provide wholesome products. If it becomes cheaper to do healthy things than to live out our current self-destructive tendencies, dependence on health care will decrease. The insurance problem will be solved.
Denying our veterans recognition on their national holiday is dishonorable and unbecoming of ASUNM. The service of the men and women in our armed forces has been vital in preserving the freedoms we enjoy as American citizens. Our country is forever indebted to our veterans for their courage, their exemplary service and their selfless sacrifices that continue to inspire us today. Honoring our veterans is not a Democratic or Republican ideal; it is an American ideal.
That is why College Democrats and College Republicans are committed to making sure that UNM does more for those who put their lives on the line to defend our country. We proudly support the resolution that supports and honors our Veterans.

county health departments and pharmacies — are expected to receive doses. The federal government is covering the cost of the vaccines and related supplies, said Tom Skinner of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A total of at least 195 million doses are expected through winter. States will get a share based on their population. Their health departments must approve or reject requests from health providers and other groups wanting the vaccine. From California to Florida, states say they plan to make sure the initial vaccine supply goes to the 159 million people in the priority groups. Their rules vary slightly, but businesses are generally at the back of the line. New York, for example, will only allow businesses with on-site medical facilities to get the vaccine. Other states, like New Jersey and Texas, say businesses can hire medical providers to administer shots, but only to staff in priority groups. For many workers used to getting their seasonal flu shot free at the office every fall, that’s frustrating. Barclay, 56, head of emergency response for Bayer’s Pittsburgh campus, said Monday he’s gotten a seasonal flu shot every fall for more than a decade, and did so again last Friday.

Other major corporations, from oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. to software maker Microsoft Corp. and grocery chain Kroger Co., are taking similar steps. Whether companies will get any swine flu vaccine for their workers is generally unclear.
primarily because of the scholarship opportunity.” Cassily Cobos, a national scholar, said the large scholarship opened her eyes to a university she would have otherwise overlooked. “The scholarship was the only thing to do with (my decision to come to UNM),” she said. “I never would have thought about coming out here if the school hadn’t sent me an offer.” The 114 national scholars
recruited by the University in the last two years are eligible for the scholarship as long as they maintain a 3.2 grade point average while taking 30 credit hours in their first year. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years, as long as scholars maintain a 3.5 grade point average in following years. However, national scholars that started school before the new administration arrived in fall 2008 are not eligible for the scholarship.

Gary Alderete / Daily Lobo Hatch green and red chile are being picked and shipped to restaurants and grocers around the country. Bags of roasted green chile are $25 at the Fruit Basket.
Local Heat by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
New Mexicans are seeing green: it’s chile roasting season. Roasting season means business for farms and grocery stores as natives and visitors alike flock to get their fix of the spicy pepper. Lee Romero, who is one of three owners of the Fruit Basket stores in Albuquerque, enjoys the extra business. The green chile has been roasting since mid-August, and Romero said this year the harvest has been especially good because of additional labor to help pick at the chile farms. Roasting season ends after all the green chile has turned red, been harvested and roasted, which is around the end of October, Romero said. Romero said he buys the majority of his green chile in Hatch, N.M. “We buy mostly chile that’s grown in Hatch,“ Romero said. “We usually try and buy it from the same farmer every year because you know what you’re getting and you know where it comes from.” Romero said that between the three stores, each day he and his
brother’s operations handle about 700 bags of chile, and each bag weighs between 30 and 40 pounds. “We get a truck every day, and now we’re even getting fresh red chile, people like the roasted red chile quite a bit,” Romero said. “A lot of people buy it red and they’ll take it home and de-stem it and then boil it, put it in a blender and make a sauce out of it.” Green chile is a big deal in New Mexico, and it’s popularity has grown to other parts of the country. New Mexico is the top destination to buy chile for out-of-towners, Romero said. “We have people who come from Dallas and they’ll call us up and they’ll say ‘Hey, can we have 20 sacks roasted?’” Romero said. “They’ll come load it up and then go back to Texas.” The Fruit Basket offers chile in varying colors and spice levels. They have mild, medium, hot and extra hot. “We do get some out of Artesia, and the extra hot we try to get out of there because some people like that chile from Artesia,” Romero said. “Usually a mild or medium chile will have a lot more meat, it is bigger and thicker. The real
hot stuff has thinner skin and is thinner-meated.” Student Travis Townsend said he likes to grow his own chile. He plants different varieties so he can pick and choose whichever chile he is in the mood for. “I can definitely taste the difference between my green chile and a store’s chile,” Townsend said. “It depends on what kinds of chile you’re eating. You can get Big Jims or Sandias. The Big Jims are usually a little bit bigger and meatier.” Townsend said he also roasts his chile himself. “It’s something I got into with my dad because we always had a garden at my house,” he said. “The first thing I cooked on a grill was green chile around the age of nine.” The actual chile roasting at the Fruit Basket only takes about three minutes in a large, rotating, barreled, green chile roaster, Romero said. “Most people that (roast chile) at home, they’ll just roast it on a grill,” he said. “But you have to be real careful because they blister real easy. A lot of people like to get friends together and do a barbecue and roast a batch or so.”
What kind of green chile do you like and where do you get it?
Matt Gordon: I buy my green chile from a guy up in Santa Fe who brings it in on a truck from Hatch. My favorite place to get green chile is at Tomasita’s in Santa Fe.
Helen Trost: I get mine from any grocery store I happen to be shopping at. El Patio is really close to campus and they have really good green chile.
Sandy Hernandez: I like to get my green chile from Albertson’s. I’m from Texas but I never had it as much as I did when I moved to New Mexico.
Travis Townsend: I like hot and medium green chile. And one of my favorite places to get a good hot green chile is probably Sadie’s.

Poetry of Ángel González brought to life in theater by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Guitar, flamenco and dramatic acting have been fused together in an unforgettable poetry presentation. “Para que yo me llame Ángel González,” or “For me to be called Ángel González,” premieres this Saturday at the National Hispanic Cultural Center downtown. Director Crawford MacCallum said it was natural to choose Spanish poet Ángel González as the subject for the performance because of his links to New Mexico. “His style is kind of oblique, but he’s a very fine craftsman of words,” MacCullum said. The play features poems about González’s life, and the pieces are
acted out by the theatre group Teatro Paraguas. Two of the actors also translated González’s poems. The poems in the show are either recited, expressed through a brief sketch or presented as a conversation between two characters, MacCullum said. “First of all we try to work from memory as much as we can, and that makes a real difference,” he said. “I try to keep it flowing.” González, who wrote during the Spanish Civil War, is famous for his poetry subtly critiquing the fascist regime. “He was working in Franco’s dictatorship and he couldn’t write what he wanted to,” he said. “He was

Jay-Z a legend in his own time There’s no whiting out Jay-Z’s indelible mark on mankind. After all, he is the “only rapper to rewrite history without a pen,” as he rapped in “Death of Autotune.” Jay-Z’s new album, The Blueprint III, was released on Sept. 8. Jay-Z is the self-proclaimed Sinatra of our day, but now he has ascended to the low-oxygen levels of the stratosphere, surpassing every microphone fiend, dead or alive, that’s ever spit lyrical sonnets. In my book, Jay-Z is more talented than Biggie or 2Pac, though I know my opinion might be disputed by hardcore rap followers. Just how influential is Jay? In this day and age, where gun-wielding labels legally rob from musicians, would Sinatra have the power, prestige and money to broker his release from a record deal? He couldn’t even do it back then. In fact, Columbia Records dropped Sinatra in 1952.
On the other hand, Jay said, “I don’t get dropped. I drop the label,” alluding to his contract buyout with Def Jam Records. Also consider Jay-Z’s unparalleled success. The genre-altering icon has sold at least 476,000 copies of The Blueprint III. Those numbers are nothing to scoff at, considering how the music industry has been victimized by a nation of eyepatched pirates milling around the computer to commandeer the next Jay song as soon as it’s leaked. He’s also surpassed Elvis Presley for most No. 1 albums in Billboard 200 history, and he’s second only to The Beatles. So, when Jay demonstratively bragged that he would, “crush Elvis in his blue suede shoes,” or that, for the umpteenth time, “this is Sinatra at the opera,” I figured that was just Gray-Z flexing his 40-year-old muscles, fending off the naysayers who often claim that hip-hop is “no country for old men.” But then I started listening more closely. Maybe Jay doesn’t just live
up to but actually outshines the aura and pop culture status of Sinatrian Legend. Consider this — First rule of Sinatrian Legend: You must be recognizable enough to be identified by one name. Jay has several pseudonyms by which he calls himself. Prerequisite two: You must have mob ties, literally or figuratively. On what is considered the “grand diss” track of all time, Jay systematically obliterated Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy when he performed “Takeover” at Summer Jam, showing photos of a young Prodigy dressed up like Michael Jackson. Prerequisite three: You must be associated with an influential political figure, as Sinatra was with John F. Kennedy, and/or take political stands. Jay’s done both. He recorded a tribute, “History” to President Barack Obama. He also took potshots at right-wing conservatives Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh in his
Courtesy of boston.com Jay-Z released a new album, Blueprint III, on Sept. 8.

Leno’s new show has old material by David Bauder
The Associated Press The critics savaged Jay Leno’s prime-time experiment. Viewers gave it the biggest audience for an entertainment show since the “American Idol� finale in May. What’s next is anybody’s guess. An estimated 18.4 million viewers sampled the first night of “The Jay Leno Show� Monday, Nielsen Media Research said. But the most hyped debut of the fall season had the added advantage of being piggybacked onto one of the country’s biggest stories. Leno interviewed Kanye West about why he had interrupted Taylor Swift the night before on the MTV Video
Legend
Music Awards. The challenge will be holding on to viewers. Leno’s variety show will air five nights a week at 10 p.m., a grand experiment for network television to see if NBC can build a profitable business competing with dramas on its network rivals. “It’s great to launch this innovative new show with such strong initial sampling, but we realize this is just one night and that we’re going to build our business in this time period with ratings that will level out over time,� said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment. “Our focus is on developing a consistent comedy viewing habit at 10 p.m. over the
long haul.� NBC executives had other reasons to be cautious in their reaction. When Conan O’Brien debuted on the “Tonight� show last spring, NBC described him as the new king of late-night after one week of ratings, only to be embarrassed when O’Brien subsequently slipped behind David Letterman. It’s tough to gauge how much impact West’s appearance had on the ratings. The show peaked in viewership during its second quarter-hour, during Jerry Seinfeld’s appearance, Nielsen said. Only two other shows have drawn a larger prime-time audience since the summer months, NFL games that aired this past week, Nielsen said.

futuristic composition, “Off That.� Prerequisite four: Since no one dares take your musical throne, you attempt to crush incendiary challengers or would-be trendsetters. During the 50s, Sinatra vilified Elvis Presley’s thumping and pelvis-thrusting. As it relates to Presley, Sinatra said, “His kind of music is deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac.� If nothing else, Jay shares Sinatra’s myopic viewpoint on music,
evidenced by his rebuke of the hackneyed and commonly overused auto-tune. Prerequisite five: Most importantly, you must rise to an echelon of timelessness. No matter the generational gap, music lovers are enamored with Sinatra. That’s unlikely to change, locking Sinatra forever in the time vault. So, there might only be one Sinatra, but remember, Jay-Z’s not gold-plated. He’s certified platinum.

censored. He developed a sort of oblique ironic style, almost in code. His readers knew what he was talking about, but his sensors — he said they were blinded by their own ideology.â€? All of the poems are presented in Spanish with the English translation projected on the side of the stage, MacCallum said. Some of the poems will be performed twice, once in Spanish and then in English. MacCallum, who translated most of the poems for the performance, said it was sometimes vexing to find the right words for GonzĂĄlez’s poems. “He likes to use puns,â€? MacCallum said. “Sometimes you can get something equivalent, but very often you get stuck. Sometimes you cannot get a point across and you lose it.â€? MacCallum, a retired physicist and astronomy professor, said he was inspired to create dramatic poetry after organizing a Pablo Neruda poetry reading five years ago with his actor friends. “We weren’t just content reading the poems,â€? he said. “We had to act them out in costumes and do funny stuff and keep it flowing and make it a theatrical event instead of just a poetry reading.â€? All of the poems will also be accompanied by Spanish-style guitar music played by Dan Briggs. Briggs said it’s challenging to combine musical and poetic elements, but he usually finds the right tune for each piece.

A few of the poems also feature flamenco dance performed by Susannah Calzada Garrett. Her improvised dance is used to capture the ambience of each poem and the guitar music, she said. “You are creating images with dance,â€? she said. “So the images that are there in the poems come into the dance, so I find it an interface that’s pretty natural.â€? Briggs said the combination of poetry, classical guitar and flamenco dancing can be tricky, but starting with the right poet makes it easier. “In this case, it’s the poetry of Ă ngel GonzĂĄlez, but he’s very musical,â€?
