Mistrust shapes audit debate by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
The University is a step closer to having an external audit, per the UNM Faculty Senate’s request last semester. The UNM Board of Regents Audit Committee met Friday and made a recommendation of how the state auditor should examine the University’s finances. Senate President Doug Fields said the regents should consider the faculty’s mistrust of the administration before making their recommendation. “Why can’t we just ask internally how the Rio Rancho Campus is being funded? The answer is, ‘We don’t trust the answer,’” Fields said. “We would like to have an external, independent audit of these things so that we trust the answer.” The committee met to discuss the recommended scope of work for the audit, which the voting faculty requested in late February at a meeting that also saw votes of no confidence in three University administrators. According to the motion requesting the audit, “it is in the best interest of the University of New Mexico to understand how its resources were used to further its mission” and “transparency in decision-making allows organizations to make better decisions through deliberations.” To this end, State Auditor Hector Balderas suggested four “items” or areas of UNM’s finances the auditing firm would examine. The Board of Regents will consider the committee’s revised version of these suggestions at their Sept. 29 meeting. If approved, the suggestions will be sent to Balderas, who will appoint a firm to conduct the audit. Faculty members at the meeting Friday said the audit should investigate the allocation of funds. The faculty requested that the sentence “Include a comparison of budgeted amounts to actual expenditures/revenues where applicable” be added to the end of item No. 1 (see box). The committee agreed to conduct an internal audit of item No. 4 and compare it to

A spray-painted sign near Ortega Hall falsely designates a smoking area. The Physical Plant Department has removed more than 60 similar graffiti signs.
Smoking area signs are work of vandal by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
More than 60 smoking areas have already been removed from UNM’s campus — or, at least, 60 stenciled signs for a “UNM Designated Smoking Area.” Pug Burge, head of UNM’s Smoke-Free Environment Committee, said the red spray-painted signs appeared around campus after the Aug. 1 implementation of the tobacco-free policy. Burge said the signs are not committeeapproved, and UNM Physical Plant employees are removing them. Burge said she doesn’t know who’s behind the stenciled signs.

“It’s really disappointing, though, that people don’t have a little bit more pride in their campus,” she said. Win Hansen, co-chair of the UNM chapter of Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, said the social satire of the stencils serves a purpose. “As far as the person spray-painting ‘UNM Designated Areas,’ I approve of that,” he said. “That’s what art should be. Art should be cultural commentary and societal commentary. Yes, I understand it’s graffiti, but a lot of art is considered bad when it’s made. It still has a reason for being made.” Hansen said the administration should

Robbery, burglary and arson are on the rise around campus, according to the UNM Police Department’s 2008 crime statistics. Drug law violations increased the most, with 10 more incidents than in 2007. UNMPD spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues said most crime numbers from 2007 showed increases in the single digits for 2008. He said one crime that has been noticeably on the rise is arson. There was only one incident of arson in 2006, but that jumped to five in 2007 and eight in 2008. Haarhues said several arson incidents have occurred in 2009, and UNMPD suspects the same person is behind them. “You could say this person is a

serial arsonist. Those fires that keep happening on Sigma Chi Road are all by the same person — that’s why arson crime has gone up,” Haarhues said. “Some of the fires have been worse than others. The one that just happened last week at the Telos House — there were people in there, so that could have been really serious.” UNMPD is taking measures to catch the arsonist, but Haarhues UNMPD Dispatch 505-277-2241 said he can’t disclose what those measures are.

the results of the external audit. Audit Committee Chairman Gene Gallegos said that if the internal and external findings are the same, the simultaneous audits will improve trust between faculty members and the University administration. “Let’s see how things match up. Maybe that will help with your trust factor if you find out that what they came up with and what the outside auditors came up with (are similar),” he said. “This trust thing, you’ve got to lay that to rest at some point.” Fields said the faculty is often out of the loop when it comes to University decision-making, and he wants a seat at the table during the audit process. “I’m trying to argue that if the Faculty Senate president was involved in the process — as much as the law and the policies permit — that if the faculty have a complaint, have a feeling that information is being withheld, they can look at me,” he said. The committee discussed having Fields sign a confidentiality agreement to avoid disclosure of personal
information in the periodic audit reports. Fields said he would sign the form only if it didn’t stop him from relaying pertinent information to his colleagues. Regent Jamie Koch presented a motion at the end of the meeting to penalize UNM’s colleges if the auditor finds that the faculty’s “claim” was untrue. The motion was not seconded. “I move … that the payment of the audit should be charged to the administrative budget if the audit provides evidence to support the faculty’s claim that instructional moneys were used for administrative purposes,” Koch said. “If the independent audit does not provide evidence to support the faculty claim, the payment will come from unrestricted balances in the colleges.” Gallegos said the audit should not be punitive. “I’m not sure that there’s a faculty claim,” he said. “And if we’re going to turn around and assess in some way the faculty for the expense of it, I don’t think that has been the issue.”

Fields said Koch’s motion is another example of why the faculty distrust administrators. “The motion that Regent Koch has put forward, I think, is a demonstration of the problem that we want to see addressed,” he said. “And the belief that it’s a different pool of money to pay for administration costs than to pay for teaching or research or anything else — it’s one pool of money.” The committee also eliminated item No. 2, which asked for an analysis of Facilities and Administrative (F&A) funds, because item No. 1 covered that area. FY03 and FY04 were also removed from all of the items, because the University changed accounting software in the summer of 2004, overhauling the University’s accounting system and making it difficult to reconcile data from the two periods. Further, the committee removed FY11 from item No. 4, because they said it would be too difficult to predict expenditures on the Rio Rancho campus two years in the future.

FROM THE WEB In “Speaker’s fee raises eyebrows,” published Monday, the Daily Lobo reported that former Mexican President Vicente Fox was paid $25,000 to speak at UNM. Readers on our Web site responded: by ‘Robert LeMay’ posted Monday One can only wonder where was the hue and cry against the million-dollar fees paid to our losing football coach or to the other star in the jock galaxy, the basketball coach. American academe: a wonder to behold. For that matter, it seems that the outrage at the doings of this fine institution’s administrative mafia in collusion with the regents and the governor died a whimpering death rather quickly. As for trying to destroy democracy, I wonder if there would be the same outcry over W. or Cheney if they were (over) paid to spew out their lies at Popejoy. by ‘Joel’ posted Monday This article is fundamentally skewed and biased. Since when are one student’s views (Fitzpatrick) so important that they must compose such a large segment of the article? The University will benefit much more so from being exposed to the ideas on immigration of a former president than from wasting millions on coaches and sports programs that year after year fail to get the job done. by ‘MadMommy’ posted Monday It’s a wonder they want to have Vicente Fox speak to the students of New Mexico about anything. I would hope they know this is a corrupt Mexican official who is responsible for the illegal immigration problems we currently have in this country. With 12 million illegal immigrants, for decades he was encouraging them to come here by breaching our southern border. He produced brochures and made videos showing them how to do it. He was happy to export the poverty of Mexico and import American dollars during his presidency. He’s certainly not an upstanding beacon of democracy. If anything, (he is) an example of political corruption. Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

COLUMN
How House Democrats sold their souls by William Stetson UWire
Sex slavery is illegal. This should be obvious to most Americans. However, a few people still fail to comprehend it. Some of these people are in a group called the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, better known as ACORN. ACORN is one of the largest community organizing groups in America. With more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in areas from Seattle to Miami, the leviathan company has its headquarters in a small house in New Orleans. From this building, ACORN provides tax assistance and warm bodies for protest marches. It has received federal funds in the past, and though the organization denies it at times, it has given political support to many Democratic campaigns as well. In a sting operation conducted by an independent filmmaker, a man from the San Diego ACORN office advised the filmmaker and his confidante posing as a prostitute on how to pick up El Salvadorian sex slaves transported to Mexico, along with the best way to sneak them across the border. The undercover man unequivocally stated his intentions when he said, “We’re going to have a house with a dozen underage prostitutes.” The man doesn’t bat an eye at this and advises them that he “knows a lot of people” in Tijuana and gives the two filmmakers his
phone number. Other branches included in the operation were Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Brooklyn and San Bernardino, Calif. All of these branches advised the filmmakers on how to set up an illegal brothel and report the income on their IRS statements. After this stunt was revealed, ACORN’s initial reaction was the standard shotgun lawsuit threat. Parties to be sued included the two filmmakers, the Web site that posted the videos, and FOX News for playing them. Currently, the organization seems to have given up on the lawsuit. Instead, ACORN has halted walk-in consultations. The first mark against ACORN at the national level was voter registration fraud, where Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Mickey Mouse and other names were registered multiple times. The infraction was seen as relatively minor, because these fake people never voted. However, ACORN was also supposed to help out in the 2010 census. The census determines which districts will gain and which will lose seats and electoral votes. 2010 is supposed to be a very good year for conservatives, but if ACORN registered a millionor-so illegal immigrants or nonexistent people, balance could be restored. ACORN was recently turned down by the Census Bureau thanks to numerous
complaints. This was before the tapes were released. The House just decided to ban federal funding to ACORN. Despite the blatant nature of ACORN’s infractions, the vote against the corrupt organization was not unanimous – 75 House Democrats voted no. A common excuse used by House members was the unconstitutionality of withholding funds from an organization just because members of Congress “don’t like them.” There is a difference between disliking a group and cutting funds from a group that helps with sex slavery. Those who voted no include two from Washington, Rep. Jim McDermott and Rep. Rick Larsen. The Seattle branch of ACORN is located in McDermott’s district. Because the line between politicians and prostitutes is quite thin, it comes as no surprise that McDermott would want to help the group. Larsen also decided his election chances were more important than stopping ACORN. ACORN is a group with no morals. Having 75 Democrats support it shows the sad state of the party, whose members would rather sell their souls and values to criminals than condemn ACORN. William Stetson is a columnist for the Daily Evergreen¸ serving Washington State University.

Haarhues said police escorts, who can accompany students within a mile of campus, are available to walk students home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students can call an escort from the blue phones around campus if they don’t have a way to call the UNMPD dispatch number. “We probably get a couple calls per month from the blue phones,” Haarhues said. “They go straight to 911, but people call them for different reasons, like if they don’t feel comfortable where they are, so we’ll send over an officer to walk with them or
drive them.” Freshman Dani Carver said she has been safe at UNM so far during her first semester. “Sometimes I’m on campus at night for Lobo Spirit, but I feel safe, because we’re all in big groups,” Carver said. “I’d probably never walk around UNM at night alone, though.” Student Katie Higgins said the only campus crime she worries about is bike theft. “My brother has had two bikes stolen in the past three years he’s been going here,” Higgins said. “I’m definitely scared, because it seems like bikes get stolen a lot, and I don’t want mine to be stolen. That’s really the only thing I get nervous about around campus.”

campus, not just students and faculty. Car theft, burglary and robbery have all increased in 2008. Haarhues said students need to take protective measures to secure their property, including dorms, cars and bikes. Most crimes around campus occur during the day when everyone is in class, he said. “If you’re in your dorm or your car, lock your doors everywhere,” he said. “Don’t leave anything of value that someone could see in your car.” Haarhues said locking doors and taking precautions against thieves can go a long way. “I can’t think of any instances where someone broke into a dorm and forced their way in,” he said. “It’s

This was because of declines in low-skilled workers from Mexico searching for jobs in Arizona, Florida and California. Health coverage swung widely by region, based partly on levels of unemployment.

address problems with the smoking policy if they want to stop the graffiti. “I think that if they really want to address the person who’s making it, they should address the underlying issue of it,” he said. “Punish him for spraying something, that’s fine, but address the underlying issue so that he doesn’t have a reason to go out and spray this particular thing again.” Burge said she doesn’t understand why someone would spraypaint the signs around campus. “You know, it’s hard to know exactly what it means,” she said. “You know, is it just the latest thing to kind of rebel against whether you’re a smoker or a nonsmoker? It’s hard for me to draw any conclusions of that.” Hansen said the signs mean that UNM has made a mistake with their smoking policy. “It’s kind of hypocritical for them to crack down on people who are marking smoking areas when they didn’t do it themselves, after sending everybody to them and then threatening to punish them if they were caught smoking outside of them,” he said. “That’s hypocritical to the bones.” Burge said the person responsible for the stencils should clean them up and work on cleaning up cigarette butts on campus as well.
“It’s just pretty sad to be defacing campus and the place where you go to school or work,” she said. “People would never do that in their homes. Why would they do it somewhere else?” Hansen said he doesn’t think that spray-painting is the best way to voice concern over the smoking ban, but he understands why someone would do it. “I agree that that’s not the right way to bring your message across,” he said. “But I think that discounting everything he does simply because of the way he does it is kind of asinine as well.” Student Rebecca Van Vleck said she understands why someone would be angry about the smoking policy, but she doesn’t think spray-paint is the best way to address the issue. “I think it goes both ways. I see why people would get angry about it, especially smokers,” she said. “But if they say ‘peace and love,’ that’s still vandalism on public property. Now UNM has to pay someone to clean it up.”

from 3 million households. Preliminary data earlier this year found that many Americans were not moving, staying put in big cities rather than migrating to the Sunbelt, because of frozen lines of credit. Mobility is at a 60-year low, upending population trends ahead of the 2010 census that will be used to apportion House seats. “The recession has affected everybody in one way or another as families use lots of different strategies to cope with a new economic reality,” said Mark Mather, associate vice president of the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau. “Job loss — or the potential for job loss — also leads to feelings of economic insecurity and can create social tension.” “It’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he said, noting that unemployment is still rising. The percentage of people who drove alone to work dropped last year to 75.5 percent, the lowest in a decade, as commuters grew weary of paying close to $4 a gallon for gasoline and opted to carpool or take public transportation. Twenty-two states had declines in solo drivers compared with the year before, with the rest statistically unchanged. The decreases were particularly evident in states with higher traffic congestion, such as Maryland, Texas
LSAT
and Washington. Average commute times edged up to 25.5 minutes, erasing years of decreases to stand at the level of 2000, as people had to leave home earlier in the morning to pick up friends for their ride to work or to catch a bus or subway train. Palmdale, Calif., a suburb in the high desert north of Los Angeles, posted the longest commute, at 41.5 minutes. It barely edged out New York City, with its congestion and sprawling subway system, at 39.4 minutes. Shortest commute time: Bloomington, Ill., at 14.1 minutes. Nationwide, more than one in eight workers, or 17.5 million, were out the door by 6 a.m. Marital bliss also suffered. Nearly one in three Americans 15 and over, or 31.2 percent, reported they had never been married, the highest level in a decade. The share had previously hovered for years around 27 percent, before beginning to climb during the housing downturn in 2006. The never-married included three-quarters of men in their 20s and two-thirds of women in that age range. Sociologists say younger people are taking longer to reach economic independence and consider marriage, because they are struggling to find work or focusing on an advanced education.
Jacquelyn Martin / AP Photo This Dec. 14, 2006, file photo shows Washington, D.C., traffic at rush hour on Interstate 395 near Seminary Road in Alexandria, Va. A broad array of U.S. census data, to be released Tuesday, indicates that the recession is profoundly disrupting American life, including decreasing the number of solo drivers nationwide. The Northeast had the most people who were delaying marriage, led by states such as New York and Massachusetts. People in the South were more likely to give marriage a try, including those in Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas.
The dip in foreign-born residents comes as the government considers immigration changes, including stepped-up border enforcement and a path toward U.S. citizenship. At nearly 38 million, immigrants made up 12.5 per-
cent of the population in 2008; an estimated 11.9 million are here illegally. In three large metro areas, Miami, San Jose, Calif., and Los Angeles, more than one-third of all residents are foreign-born.

State Fair a feast of cultures, food by Tómas Morález Daily Lobo
When the smell of corn dogs and fresh animal waste hits your nose, you know it’s time for the State Fair. I’ve lived in Germany for the past three years, during which time I haven’t been to a single state fair. I felt like a kid again last week when I went to the New Mexico State Fair for the first time. I was simply having fun, something we often forget to do in the daily hustle of school and work. There was so much to see and do and not enough time to enjoy it all.
I didn’t want to miss a single moment of the excitement. The 71st New Mexico State Fair features children’s rides, art galleries, horse racing, animal shows, agriculture and much more. The fair started in 1938 as a territorial festival for the Old Town area, but Michael Henningsen, fair media director, said that this year the fair got a big technological update. “The Interactive Game Experience is the premier national touring multiplatform, multiscreen video-game environment in the USA,” Henningsen said. “It’s a single tent filled with the latest gaming

technology, such as the Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft X-box 360. There will be at least 16 game stations for the public to play.” He said the fair has new events each year and one of his favorites involves canine companions. “The Dock Dog show is a sporting event in which dog owners can bring and enter their dogs to compete in a six-and-a-half-feet-deep pool to see how far the dog can jump after it runs down the dock, dives to catch an object and splashes into

Hungarian band gets audience hopping by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Little Cow, a band from Hungary, is a “gypsy, punk, ska and rock band,” said Ben Yonas, the band’s producer. Little Cow will play this Saturday at 6 p.m. in the Plaza Mayor at Globalquerque, an international music festival that’s been hosted in Albuquerque for the past five years. Yonas said he decided to work with the band after seeing them perform live in New York City. “I had no idea who they were or anything about them,” Yonas said. “I was blown away. They managed to get
a couple hundred talent bookers, you know, a bunch of middle-aged people, jumping up and down like kids.” Founded by lead singer László Kollár-Klemencz and inspired by the Hungarian cartoon series “Little Yellow Cow,” the band’s sound doesn’t follow traditional Hungarian music, said Kollár-Klemencz. “The music is coming from Hungary, but it’s not a special Hungarian or folk or Gypsy kind of music,” Kollár-Klemencz said. “It’s just the area where we are living. We think the music is more like British punk.” Little Cow is also likely to be a great

Split-action play pokes fun at marriage by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
The Fusion Theatre Company is the first company in Albuquerque to perform “How the Other Half Loves,” a play written by Alan Ayckbourn, who also wrote “Standing Room Only.” Director Gil Lazier said “How the Other Half Loves” is a fast-paced classic comedy that has entertained audiences since the show opened Sept. 17. “This (play) is about the difficulty of marriage,” Lazier said. “It’s about three couples who are having different kinds of trouble in their respective marriages. Ayckbourn likes to play tricks with the theater and time and space. In this play there is action going on in two different spaces at the same time.” The events take place at two different apartments in New York City, and both apartments are built into the same set, Lazier said. “So you see two different couples going through their days in the same space simultaneously,” he said. Lazier said it’s a challenge to direct a play with time and space changes in it. “It’s kind of like a puzzle, because there’s a lot of event planning that has to go on,” he said. “It’s a very

crowd pleaser, Yonas said. “American bands just don’t put on the same kind of show. They are just not as theatrical,” Yonas said. “They are not as interesting. They are not as dynamic. They are not as crazy. These guys are not afraid to go for it, and they just put on an amazing show.”

the pool,” he said. The fair also offers delicious foods, such as grilled corn, cotton candy, turkey legs and stuffed baked potatoes. At least 70 percent of the over 100 different food vendors have New Mexican food, Henningsen said, and there are traditional Hispanic and American Indian foods. The fair also has cook-offs, Henningsen said. I knew nothing about the fair, but was drawn to the art galleries. Like a curious child, I wandered into the Hispanic gallery, and there I found art forms the likes of which I’d never seen or heard of before. I wish I could have that experience twice. Sundi Tyler, galleries art director, said the art displayed at the fair comes from diverse cultures around the state of New Mexico. “When I moved here five years ago, I heard about the fair from a

company … as their scapegoat, and both of our spouses decide to contact the wife of the husband that I said I was out with all night, and invite them to dinner.” Lazier said the cast members are comfortable working together and with Lazier, which made it easier to direct the play. “I directed three of the six cast members before, so I knew how they worked and they knew me,” Lazier said. “I had seen the work of two of the other cast members, so that’s five out of six. And the one cast member that I hadn’t worked with before was just great, and she fit in just beautifully. The rehearsals were a lot of fun, because there was a lot of trust involved.”
Kollár-Klemencz said he enjoys touring in America because of the audience’s reaction to the band’s performance. “In America, people really feel the beat,” he said. “They really feel the rock ’n’ roll pull. They really can dance very well because they can feel it.”
Yonas said the band’s work has no chance of being lost in translation. “I think the barriers between overseas and domestic music are kind of shattered with the Internet,” Yonas said. “There are no barriers now, so music is just music. They just have their own sound whether they are foreign or American.”
friend and wasn’t very interested,” Tyler said. “I thought of it as any typical fair, but when I started working here, I was impressed by the art galleries the fair had to show.” Kevin Burgess, an employee at the Hispanic Art Gallery, said the art galleries collect submitted artworks from all over New Mexico. “I wanted to help represent New Mexico artists, since they don’t receive recognition as internationally known artists,” Burgess said. “The art includes Hispanic, African, Native American and fine art.” Another popular attraction at the fair is the “Marcan Tiger Preserve, Tigers of India” exhibit. It’s a show by Josip Marcan’s preservation program. At the exhibit, Bengal tigers are brought in to entertain guests and to create an appreciation for the endangered animals, Tyler said. Tyler said the fair also attracts

physical play, so the action is very fast, and there are a couple of sequences in the play where combat is necessary in two different environments at the same time. I was lucky that I had a great cast.” College students will enjoy “How the Other Half Loves” because it deals with psychological and sociological issues, Lazier said. “With all the comedy in it, it still offers a kind of social commentary on marriage in today’s world,” he said. “It’s about life and about people’s psychology. It presents it in such a funny way that it’s interesting and kind of educational at the same time, too.” Cast member Ross Kelly, who plays Bob, said the play is a good oldfashioned farce that will entertain anyone with a sense of humor. “It’s a fun, intelligent comedy, and you don’t really have to think much. It’s just there,” he said. “It’s just constant madcap, but you have to keep up with the whole thing because it moves really fast.” Kelly said the play is about a fling between his character and his boss’s wife. “It gets kind of covered up after a night they both come home very late and both make excuses for why they weren’t home,” he said. “They use another couple that works in the

tourists who are curious about New Mexico culture and history. “The newly remodeled Indian Village and Villa Hispana are two attractions that offer unique and distinct cultures,” she said. The Indian Village showcases the cultural aspects of New Mexico’s American Indians, such as dances, art, songs, crafts and cooking demonstrations, Tyler said. “The Villa Hispana features the cultural aspects of New Mexico’s Hispanics, such as santos, retablos, food and tinwork,” she said. Student Victoria Corvino said with the fair just down the street from UNM, students can’t help but wander over and see what’s cooking. “I’ve lived in New Mexico my whole life and have been to the fair countless times,” she said. “I have always enjoyed myself, but my favorite part has always been the food and the art galleries.”
