String of fires raises suspicion of arson

by Abigail Ramirez Daily Lobo

A fire destroyed a vacant bedroom in the Telos House complex on campus at about 2:50 a.m. Thursday.

The house, formerly known as the Lambda Chi house, is at the intersection of Las Lomas Road and Yale Boulevard. In the last 14 months, four fires have damaged the Telos House complex.

Melissa Romero, Albuquerque Fire Department spokeswoman, said the six people inside the house were evacuated Thursday and there were no injuries.

Romero said the fire remained in one room and resulted in fire and smoke damage.

Troy Rivas, the Telos House Director, said the vacant room contained two mattresses and a

banana-shaped stuffed animal. He said he is unsure how much it will cost to repair the damage in the room.

Romero said the fire was suspicious and AFD investigators are determining its cause.

Rivas said he suspects arson. Police and fire department representatives would not comment on the cause of the fire.

Pat Davis, then spokesman for UNMPD, said in November that the campus police department believed the fires in the area were caused by arsonist activity.

“At this time, we presumably link five suspected arsons together, and we are linking them only because of the proximity,” Davis told the Daily Lobo.

Rivas said an item thrown

Albuquerque’s Oct. 6 mayoral election is fast approaching, and the non-partisan election has become a competition between Mayor Martin Chávez, Richard Romero, and Richard “R.J.” Berry.

The people of Albuquerque questioned the candidates Wednesday night in a debate at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Media groups KNME, KUNM, The New Mexico Independent and the Weekly Alibi hosted the debate.

The candidates answered questions that were developed by the panel of representatives from the four media outlets as well as some collected by camera, The New Mexico Independent’s live blog and the audience.

The candidates’ answers indicated they have similar priorities for their administrations but different ideas of how to accomplish their goals.

Berry’s campaign platform emphasizes transparent government. He listed his top three priorities as public safety, education and combating unemployment.

“There is a common thread with the people I’ve had discussions with,” Berry said. “People want to feel safe in

As of Wednesday, both the undergraduate and graduate student government bodies support having Veterans Day off at UNM. ASUNM passed the Veterans day resolution during Wednesday’s senate meeting, after the Graduate and Professional Student Association passed the same bill Aug. 31.

In the final ASUNM vote, 10 senators were in favor of the redrafted resolution, four were against, and there was one abstention.

The Student Veterans of UNM presented the resolution at an ASUNM meeting two weeks ago, but it was sent back to the Steering and Rules Committee for editing.

The committee changed the wording in several places and added

attribution to statistics in the resolution.

Senator Laz Cardenas presented the revised resolution on Wednesday to ASUNM on behalf of the Student Veterans of UNM. “We changed a part of a sentence that said ‘our nation’s true heroes’ to ‘some of our nation’s true heroes,’” Cardenas said.

One part of the resolution that said, “Whereas veterans attending the University of New Mexico earn over $6 million in benefits for graduate and undergraduate studies per semester,” was taken out.

“We took out this sentence because we weren’t sure of the plausibility of this number,” Cardenas said.

Cardenas said that such a resolution is not law — it just shows that the undergraduate student

body is in favor of having a day off from school to observe Veterans Day. Senator Alyssa Rivera voted against the Veterans Day resolution. She said the wording that gives veterans full credit for freedom in America still wasn’t right.

She said people who do diplomatic work, students who study abroad and nongovernmental organizations all contribute to freedom as well as those in the military.

“I only had one problem, which was specifically the second clause that reads, ‘Freedom is not free.

It is paid by the blood and sacrifice of the men and women in the service of our state, nation and through military service,’” Rivera said. “I just thought that it should

Suspect arraigned in Yale killing

by Ray Henry

The Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. — As police charged a Yale animal lab technician with murdering a graduate student who worked in his building, a portrait began to emerge Thursday of an unpleasant stickler for the rules who often clashed with researchers and considered the mice cages his personal fiefdom.

Police charged 24-year-old Raymond Clark III with murder, arresting him at a motel a day after taking hair, fingernail and saliva samples to compare with evidence from the grisly crime scene at Yale’s medical school.

Bond was set at $3 million for Clark, who kept his head down and said “Yes, your honor,” when asked whether he understood his rights.

The muscular former high school baseball and football player is charged in the death of 24-yearold Annie Le, a pharmacology doctoral student at Yale who vanished Sept. 8. Her body was discovered five days later — on her wedding day —

stuffed into a utility compartment behind a wall in the basement of the research building where she and Clark worked.

Authorities offered no details about the crime Thursday. They would not discuss a motive, largely because Clark will not talk to police, and would not disclose the DNA test results or how they connected Clark to the slaying.

Clark appeared in court with two public defenders who were new to the case. A private-practice attorney who had represented him during the investigation did not attend the hearing and said Thursday he no longer represents Clark. The attorney declined to give a reason.

Public defender Joseph Lopez said he was still reviewing the case and declined to comment.

Co-workers told police that Clark was a “control freak” who viewed the laboratory and its mice as his territory, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing and many details remain sealed.

The official said police are looking into whether Clark’s attitude led to a deadly workplace confrontation with Le, who was 4-foot-11 and 90 pounds. But investigators say that’s just a theory at this point.

The investigator also said authorities do not necessarily need to prove a motive because they have an abundance of strong forensic evidence.

As a technician, Clark’s duties included cleaning mouse cages and the floors of the lab.

Le’s work involved experiments on mice that were part of research into enzymes that could have implications for treatment of cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy.

The New York Times reported that Clark at times grew angry if lab workers did not wear shoe covers.

“He would make a big deal of it, instead of just requesting that they wear them,” said a researcher who asked not to be identified.

ABC News reported that Clark sent a text message to Le on the day she vanished requesting a meeting to discuss the cleanliness of mouse cages in the research lab.

be changed to not being paid for entirely in that way. We should recognize the sacrifice and blood that these people shed in contributing to freedom but not (their) being completely responsible for it.”

Zack Mutchler, president of the Student Veterans of UNM, said he doesn’t mind the changes that were made, because the integrity of the resolution was intact. The Student Veterans will take their resolution to the faculty senate as their next step, he said.

“The student governments at UNM represent their constituents, which are 28,000 to 30,000 students,” Mutchler said. “These resolutions basically let the Faculty Senate know that the student body is behind us in this.”

Mutchler said the Faculty Senate presents the academic calendar to the Board of Regents, and the regents have the final word on the observance of Veterans Day. Mutchler said the support of both ASUNM and GPSA will help their case at the Faculty Senate meeting.

“UNM exists because of students and UNM is here to serve students — that’s the entire

purpose of a university,” Mutchler said. “With that in mind, arguments about cost, HR problems, labor disputes or things of that nature need to be put aside, need to be worked through and amended so the University can service the students. Now, they can see the students are asking for this day of observance.”

Faculty Senate President Douglas Fields said the organization hasn’t yet taken a stance on a Veterans Day holiday.

“We’ve discussed it briefly. We haven’t actually written a resolution yet,” he said. “What we’re going to do is write a resolution that supports Veterans Day and leave the discussion about what the holidays are to the Faculty/Staff Benefits Committee. So, we certainly support the idea of a veterans holiday in recognition of the veterans, but we think the idea of whether or not we’ll take that day off needs more discussion.”

Fields said the Faculty/Staff Benefits Committee deals with pay, benefits and days off, and they would like draft a resolution for the regents before Veterans Day this year.

through the room’s window seems to have been the cause of the fire Thursday.

“It looked like there was some sort of Molotov cocktail thrown in,” he said.

Ruby Watkins, Telos House assistant director, said the fire is definitely an arsonist’s work, and Rivas said he has a few suspects.

“We have an idea, but there is still no hard core evidence,” he said.

Rivas said the fire was similar to the others.

“It was the same time period as the other fires,” he said. “It was the same exact time frame — from 2 a.m. to 3 o’clock.”

Two fires occurred in the Telos House basement across the street from Dane Smith Hall during November and August of last year.

In October, a fire was discovered in a storage shed behind one of the

Debate

Telos houses. The same night, two other fires on Sigma Chi Road damaged two UNM office buildings.

Rivas said fires were reported in two Telos House residents’ vehicles within the 14-month period.

Rivas said his priority is to catch the person responsible for the fires.

After that, security is a top issue.

“We are going to look into increasing surveillance,” he said. “UNM police finally are going to beef up security by patrolling the area more, and all the other people around us are going to beef up security more.”

Lt. Robert Haarhues, UNMPD spokesman, said five officers patrolled between Indian School and the Pit between Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. At 3 a.m., four officers took over the patrol.

Watkins said the buildings have locked doors, a keypad at the front entrance and a guard dog.

their homes — they don’t. They want a bright future for their children.

They want a good job that will enable them to support their family.”

Chávez focused his answers on the results from his mayoral term and the endorsements he’s received.

The mayor said his priorities are public safety and creating jobs to combat a recession economy.

“Public safety — it’s always the number one priority for municipal government,” Chávez said. “I believe in this community, and in my heart I believe that it is the best city in America. My vision for this city is the same as it’s always been, and it’s to become a place where our children can realize their dreams.”

Chávez said his leadership during the recession has had great results. “(Albuquerque is) performing better than almost every major city in America in the midst of the recession,” he said.

Romero said his administration has four goals to improve Albuquerque.

“Public safety — I really believe crime is a big issue in this town,” he said. “Unemployment — I believe that small businesses are key to job development in Albuquerque. I also believe that working with our public schools — not beating them up — is a key to improving our education system. And lastly, my signature issue is open, transparent government, getting rid of wasteful spending in government and getting rid of cronyism.”

The candidates were asked questions that covered issues including same-sex marriage, the West Mesa murders, green jobs, sustainability, education and term limits for the mayoral office.

Accountability and transparency of city government became a big issue during the debate.

Berry said he sees the pay-to-play problem in New Mexico as an ethical accountability problem.

“In the legislature we work on ethics on a fairly consistent basis,” he said. “And what I’ve found is that you cannot legislate ethics — you can legislate penalties against ethics violation. But what you can do is legislate transparency. That’s what I want to do.”

Berry said that as mayor he will work to create a municipal government that the public can easily access.

“I want a Web site where you as a taxpayer and as a citizen can, with a click of a mouse, go in and search the city checkbook, see where the dollars are going, search contract awards ... even see the bidding process,” he said. “It keeps the honest folks honest.”

Chávez said that he disagreed and that the city database doesn’t need any work.

“We today in the city of Albuquerque have the most accessible database, the most accessible record base of any city in the United States,” Chávez said. “I think we already have that open and transparent system.”

From the web In “Parties unite in support of observing Veterans Day,” a letter to the editor published Thursday, the presidents of the College Republicans and College Democrats wrote in support of a resolution to give UNM students Veterans Day off, though ASUNM debated the wording of the resolution. Readers on DailyLobo.com responded: ‘post american’ Posted Thursday “While the U.S. Military was busy playing war games on 9/11, they did not protect the homeland. Where were the armed forces while our freedoms have been under attack over the last eight years? Oh yeah, looking for the 9/11 conspirator Osama Bin Laden. ... They have helped build two Islamic theocracies in Afghanistan and Iraq, whose puppet governments will collapse the day we leave. I respect U.S. troops, but don’t turn them into whiny victims. They know they are heros. By the way, how can any empowered and informed member of society belong to either the Republican or Democrat party?”

‘TZ’ Posted Thursday “... Those that stay behind and handle families, work, and the stress of a spouse, parent, child, etc. in combat are heroes in their own right and deserve much more recognition than they get.”

‘Damian’ Posted Thursday “We should not be nation building and be crippling our enemy. Right now, about 20 million U.S. dollars out of the billions spent are going directly into the pockets of the Taliban. ... Paying off our enemies only goes to fight them another day. With predators (unmanned drones) and the great weaponry that we have, this war could have ended long ago with minimal American casualties. ...”

After-date text breaks the deal

by Chris Nelson UWire

Imagine you’re on a date. The moon is full, the air is crisp and you’re standing toe-to-toe, saying good night.

On your way home, you keep thinking about the taste of her lips and how excited you are to see her again.

Then your phone lights up and the screen reads, “Thanks for the great night,” with a tacky smile afterwards.

Now, for me, this is one of the biggest turnoffs after any date.

When you drop someone off, even if you had a great night, you dropped him or her off. You don’t want them clinging to you via text till dawn. You don’t want to get sick of the person after only one date, especially if they paid.

Before cell phones ran our lives, you could wait days before calling someone.

Now you’re always within reach, even when you don’t want to be.

And don’t think not responding will work.

periodically throughout the day. It also remembers to text for birthdays and anniversaries.

So now, you don’t only have to worry that what they’re saying is true – you have to worry whether it’s actually them saying it.

Furthermore, the texts really aren’t that suave.

“Did you know we started dating 37 days and eight hours ago?” is one of the examples from the Web site. I don’t know about you, but I’d run for the damn hills if I got this text.

So it’s official. Technology is trying to assassinate everything dating once stood for.

But don’t shoot yourself just yet, ladies and gentlemen, because I have the solution. Just steer clear of the post-date text and everything will be wonderful.

Wait a few days, send that text and enjoy dating the way it should be.

Come to think about it, don’t text at all.

Grow a pair and call.

You either need to respond immediately if you ever want to see her again or decide it wasn’t worth it and call it quits there and then.

There’s no escape anymore.

Technology has embedded itself in the deepest roots of society. This has led to some pretty serious problems.

John O’Neill, the director of addictions services at The Menninger Clinic in Houston, says our addiction to technology is “an impulse disorder that can be as socially damaging as alcoholism, gambling and drug addiction.”

So to me, dating someone who does an after-date text is like dating an alcoholic. But instead of getting thrown up on and turned off, the inevitable text will finish the job.

Even if you stay with an after-date texter, you still might be out of luck.

That clever text they send every night, which melts your heart every time, might not even be coming from them.

Businesses need tax credit to continue competing overseas Editor, I read the other day that President Obama is trying to eliminate international tax credits on U.S. businesses. The irony is that I

read this after a global economics class, so while I’m not an expert, I do take an interest in this kind of stuff. Eliminating international tax credits is a bad idea. The U.S. has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and the way we offset that is by giving companies tax credits when they compete overseas. This allows companies like Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp. to become

worldwide leaders. Eliminating the credits eliminates their chance to compete against China, India and other growing markets.

These tax credits were started by Clinton and continued under Bush. Let’s hope that Obama follows their lead.

Perfect practice not showing up in games

by Mario Trujillo

Up Next

Daily Lobo

The UNM football team has already dubbed their offensive line the “Hitmen.”

Now head coach Mike Locksley is calling for his linemen to block — and his team to execute.

After taking two beatings this season, schematic wizardry is not going to get the Lobo football team over the hump against Air Force, Locksley said. The team only needs to execute the fundamentals.

“It has nothing to do with keying on Air Force,” he said. “It’s about keying on New Mexico. I have said it time and time again — and it’s not going to change. When we start taking care of our business and doing the things that good football teams do — when we execute the fundamentals of offensive football — we’ll have success.”

The Lobos (0-2) head into Saturday’s game pitted against Mountain West Conference rival Air Force, which is 1-1 on the season. And as the heavyweights in the conference — BYU, TCU and Utah — jockey for position in the top 20 in the nation, UNM heads into Saturday’s contest with a lot on its plate.

“The pressure of winning your first game is enough,” Locksley said.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the Lobos also have a laundry list of fundamentals that need correcting if they’re going to have a chance against the Air Force Academy Falcons.

In the last two weeks, Lobo opponents have put up a combined 1,051 yards of offense, compared to the Lobos 402. Opponents have also out-scored the Lobos 85-16, some of those points coming off turnovers.

The Lobo offense fumbled six times last week, losing three of them to Tulsa.

Much of the offense’s success will be predicated on converting third downs. UNM totaled 171 yards of offense against Tulsa, but the Lobos were a sorry 1-of-15 on third-down conversions. That kept the defense on the field for 20 minutes in the second half.

Locksley said the offense is fine on

Football vs. Air Force

Saturday 5:30 p.m.

University Stadium the practice field, but, for some reason, things get lost in translation on game day.

“I haven’t had any problem with the way we practice,” Locksley said.

“They prepare the way we ask them to. They are into it. They have a lot of enthusiasm. Someway we have to just transfer it over to games.”

The defense also has to play the way they practice. Last week, Tulsa put up 44 points on UNM’s scoreboard, 28 of those points came off passes 17 yards or longer.

Tulsa receivers burned the Lobo secondary several times.

“We can’t continue to give up those big plays,” said George Barlow, UNM’s defensive backs coach. “A lot of that (will be fixed) by cutting down on assignment busts, and some of it is just technique.”

With the exception of Frankie Solomon, the secondary is relatively inexperienced. Redshirt freshman DeShawn Mills and sophomore Anthony Hooks, start at the cornerback positions. Senior Frankie Baca started his first game last week, subbing in for an injured Ian Clark.

At the very least, the Lobo secondary will get a break from the highpowered passing game on Saturday.

Run-heavy Air Force employs a tripleoption scheme.

Last week against Minnesota, the Falcons ran the ball 66 times compared to 17 pass plays. In the game before that, the Falcons only went to the air seven times.

“I don’t think we are matched up any better (against a run team),” Locksley said. “But if we can find a way to limit the big plays, I think we’ll maybe have a little more success on defense.”

Nobody said losing a team’s oncourt vocal and inspirational leader would be easy.

With senior outside hitter and co-captain Rose Morris on the sidelines with a pinky injury, UNM 1 the UNM volleyball team 3 TCU came out flat and was defeated by Texas Christian University on Wednesday 25-18, 16-25, 25-22, 25-22 in the Mountain West Conference opener.

It was TCU’s first ever win over the Lobos and not exactly the result UNM had in mind against a team picked to finish fifth in MWC preseason polls.

“We were supposed to start off on the right foot and send a message to conference opponents by winning 3-0,” junior outside hitter, Lisa Meeter, said. “We just didn’t show up.”

Head coach Jeff Nelson didn’t sugarcoat his frustrations, either.

“We played as poor of a match as we’ve played in three years,” he said. “We had basic breakdowns, too many errors and I didn’t see any fight in us.”

Despite bragging about the team’s depth, Morris’ absence was more than noticeable. Sophomore Kelly Williamson started in Morris’ place and hit a negative .142 with one kill and three errors on 14

Redshirt freshman Rachel Barber replaced Williamson in the third game, hitting a negative .111 with one kill and two errors on nine attempts.

“We did miss Rose,” senior middle hitter Anna Lehne said. “As a senior and a captain, she’s going to be hungry. We definitely needed more of that out there. Our offense just didn’t step up.”

The Lobos finished the match with 40 errors and hit just .139 as a team.

“As a coach, I’ve got to figure out how to get through to a couple of these people that we need more intensity,” Nelson said. “We should be coming out excited and ready to play.”

UNM will have a chance to rebound this weekend as they travel to Tucson, Ariz., for the Wildcat Invitational. The Lobos will face off against No. 25 Arizona; Tulane, which is receiving votes in the latest AP coaches’ poll; and University of Texas at El Paso, which took in-state rival NMSU to five games earlier this season.

“We can’t afford another loss like that,” Meeter said. “We’ve got to put this one behind us, learn from it and move on to our next match.”

Or, as Lehne puts it: “We need to find our mojo — and fast.”

The Lobos have a history of coming back after injuries. On the

road and in a tough battle with Arizona State in 2007, defensive specialist Kelsi Phillips collided with a teammate and caused a bloody nose. UNM rallied to a 15-11 fifthset win.

In last season’s opener, Meeter exited the game with an injured foot thanks to a bad landing. The Lobos went on to sweep Central Arkansas 25-19, 25-17, 15-18.

Last Saturday, Morris went out of the game at 22-22 in the fourth game against Pittsburgh with a dislocated finger and compound fracture that broke through the skin. UNM responded with three kills for the 26-24 win.

Meeter said an injury is no excuse for poor play.

“This isn’t anything we haven’t experienced before,” she said. “We just need to take each match one game at a time and make sure we are fighting for every point. If we do, we can be successful against anyone we face.”
