QSA membership heavily on the rise by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
The UNM Queer Straight Alliance has seen about a 300 percent increase in membership since last semester. Ralph Baylor, a QSA member, said that about 10 people attended meetings last year, but now there are about 50 attendees at each meeting. QSA spokesman Jeffrey Waldo said a member from a San Francisco chapter was impressed when she visited a meeting at UNM. “(She) came and checked out the group and exclaimed that we had more people than her QSA in one of the gay capitals of America,” he said. QSA chairwoman Brandy Rodke said the group is thriving because there are more officers promoting the meetings. She said the number of officers increased from two last semester to eight this fall. Rodke also said the group has done more sidewalk-chalking and
distributed more fliers this semester than in years past. Waldo said the difference in QSA attendance this semester has changed the dynamic of the organization. “The number and diversity of this year’s group is insane,” he said. “The room that was mostly empty last year is now completely packed.” Waldo said UNM’s QSA is more important than most student organizations on campus and should be able to offer additional services. “Unfortunately, this is a studentrun organization. We’re basically just like the Chess Club, or Hobbit Society,” he said. “UNM’s GLBTQ community needs something along the lines of the Women’s Resource Center, or Native American Student Services. Right now, they have the QSA doing what a (Queer Resource Center) should do. … Most other universities have a QRC.” Rodke said the group is meant to be a safe zone where people can feel comfortable no matter their sexual identity.

“It lets everyone know it’s okay to be themselves, especially for people who aren’t really out yet,” she said. Student Chelsea Toledo said the QSA serves an important purpose on campus by helping people feel safer to express their sexuality. “The QSA is the reason why I can go around campus with a rainbow belt,” she said. Rodke said the QSA is planning more events in the wider community this semester. “That’s something the straight allies have suggested, to go out into a straight environment, because it’s a queer straight alliance, not just a queer alliance.”

Master Plan gives voice to UNM community by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
The University offered community members another opportunity to comment on campus development plans on Monday. The Office of Institutional Support Services held two Master Plan open houses in the SUB — one for faculty, students and staff and one for the surrounding neighbors — to get input on the plan’s framework before the Master Plan is up for approval at the Sept. 29 Regents meeting. The office also posted the plans

online for comment until Sept. 11. Over 100 people commented online on topics ranging from sustainability to child care. Steve Beffort, vice president for Institutional Support Services, said the University has sought input from the UNM community in a variety of ways. “We understand that there is a sense of some of the people that we haven’t listened to them enough, that they are not being adequately heard,” he said. “We have been taking comments online and at other meetings. This is just one more attempt to broaden the base

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Bookstore will host a group of UNM faculty authors for a talk and book signing at 2 p.m. today. The four faculty members have written books on anthropology, law, Spanish and political science centered around New Mexico. Laura Gomez, School of Law professor and author of Manifest Destinies: The Making of the Mexican American Race, organized the event. “I think it’s a very nice opportunity for students who don’t know a lot about the subjects and even students who do,” Gomez said. “This is a pretty diverse set of books and authors to bring together.” Gomez said she was inspired to write her book while she was an undergraduate. “I was a student at Harvard in the 1980s, and it was the first time I was ever away from New Mexico,” she said. “I started thinking about New Mexico history in a different way, and I just felt compelled to tell this story.” Gomez said the history of the Hispanic community is significant in America’s identity. “By the year 2030, Latinos in the U.S. are going to be a third of the overall population,” Gomez said. “In New Mexico that’s not anything new,

because we’ve always had a large presence here, but thinking about that on a more national level and their role in American history is important.” Anthropology Professor Sylvia Rodriguez said she also uses her book The Matachines Dance for a class she developed called the Anthropology of Water. “Its deals with the cultural and religious meanings of water and water-related rituals in the Catholic tradition and Taos area,” she said. Rodriguez said Hispanic Heritage Month spotlights a community that is often ignored. “This month can be used to highlight the accomplishments of people who might not have gotten as much recognition in previous decades,”

Southeastern floods leave nine dead by Kate Brumback The Associated Press
AUSTELL, Ga. — Neighborhoods, schools and even roller coasters at Six Flags over Georgia remained awash in several feet of murky, brown water Tuesday, even as an emerging sun shed light on the widespread flood damage. So far, at least nine deaths in Georgia and Alabama were blamed on the torrential downpours in the Southeast. The storms finally relented and relief was in sight with just a slight chance of rain overnight, but the onslaught left many parts of the region in stagnant water. In Tennessee, a man was still

I think it’s essential,” she said.
UNM student Iain Deason said he supports the University’s efforts in sharing its plan with the community. “I’m supportive of the Master Plan in the way that they are trying to shape the University, trying to elevate the status to more of a holistic learning environment, which right now it kind of lacks,” he said.

FROM THE WEB The Daily Lobo ran a letter Monday from James Burbank, who used the designated smoking areas as a platform to suggest designated areas for paint-huffers and gluesniffers. Most readers at DailyLobo.com caught on to Burbank’s satire. by ‘Thomas’ Posted Monday “Oh, how I love satire. It is becoming more and more evident that in this Age of Entitlement that we (the majority), more and more, are genuinely getting tired of one group of people attempting to exercise their ‘rights’ at the expense of the majority... ‘The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.’ —Ayn Rand Now the question is this: Which individual has precedence over the other? The answer is neither. So the individuals band together with those of like minds to become an ‘interest group.’ They then begin to lobby and protest for the ‘rights’ of the group under the guise of the individual. And when the majority no longer wishes to pick up the tab for the minorities, the majority is attacked on a personal level. It is my stand that if smokers — or any other minority wanting their own special world — want preferential treatment, then they need to fit the bill. In other words, let them have whatever facility they want. All they have to do is pay for it themselves.” by ‘Ken’ Posted Monday “An over-the-top, ludicrous and hilarious way to show a simple point: The rights of the individual are meant to not infringe on the rights of others. Thanks.” by ‘Nick’ Posted Monday “I don’t like the stench of those people who ride their bikes to school and are sitting next to me sweating after they come into class. I don’t want to breathe the exhaust of the cars on Central when I cross it. The little bit of secondhand smoke that people have to endure is no worse than the smell of the car exhaust I have to smell when I cross Central, and it is certainly no more harmful. We’re tolerant of what nearly everyone does (drive, create exhaust), and not tolerant of what the minority does (smoke). Go back to the very good Ayn Rand quote above!” by ‘Red Necked Elitist’ Posted Monday “Gads, once again we have to listen to the whining of the left-winged campus-dogooder elitist intellectual as he applies logic and caustic humor to a situation my good ol’ buddy Nick has laid out so well. ‘I have to smell cars crossing a street and since cars are as bad as cigarettes, then I’m going to smoke any damn place I want to…’ And I, for a fact, know that cigarettes are not nearly as bad as cars. You know how I know? Because it’s all them elitist intellectual types that do the studies that tell us otherwise. I just know they’re wrong. Q.E.D.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

LETTERS Lobo needs more balanced coverage of Vicente Fox’s visit Editor, Former Mexican President Vicente Fox recently visited UNM where he gave two presentations to describe his background and work during his presidency. The Daily Lobo failed to cover the event except to provide one image of questionable quality on the front page. The day Fox delivered his speech and attended a Q&A, Lobo News Editor Pat Lohmann took the time and print space to write about protests concerning Fox’s visit and quote his detractors.
Fox a classic puppet-head, only protects power of few Editor, Upon hearing the speech of former Mexican President Vicente Fox at Popejoy Hall, it became obvious why he was considered a great leader by many dignitaries of the United States. He gave a powerful presentation that enraptured the audience so much that several times people gave ovations. Vicente is another classic caricature of a puppet-head for the exploitative system of government strangling the citizens of this planet. Let me break this down into some details: The prominent message was that increased worker production would solve the economic crisis. Unemployment is reaching near-Depression numbers, and the government is giving billions of dollars to failed banks that are owned by the world’s most prosperous institutions, particularly the members of the Federal Reserve who enact the very policies that caused the housing

Letters can be submitted to the Daily Lobo office in Marron Hall or online at DailyLobo. com. The Lobo reserves the right to edit letters for content and length. A name and phone number must accompany all letters. Anonymous letters or those with pseudonyms will not be published. Opinions expressed solely reflect the views of the author and do not reflect the opinions of Lobo employees.
Lohmann didn’t think it was important to cover either of Fox’s presentations to present a balanced perspective of what the former Mexican president had to say related to what was reported from those opposed to his campus visit. University campuses have long been places of thoughtful debate. I was pleased that the University community came out and engaged in meaningful dialog and peaceful, respectful protest. I regret that the Daily Lobo editorial staff thought it was more important to cover the State Fair and cultural events unconnected to UNM than to cover a visit from a former head of state.
Editor’s note: For Monday’s article “Speaker’s fee raises eyebrows,” Pat Lohmann sought comment from the University Communication and Marketing staff, but at that time no representative was willing to give an interview. He also sought, and did not receive, interviews with representatives from the Provost’s Office and the Latin American and Iberian Institute, which co-organized the event. The Daily Lobo covered Fox’s presentation at Popejoy Hall. The video is available on our multimedia page at DailyLobo.com.
Carolyn Gonzales University Communication and Marketing Staff market collapse. This is just like all the other “collapses” that helped usher in foreign colonization and domestic surveillance. How are working people going to increase production when they already dedicate more hours to work, and the fruits of their labor are going to the filthy rich while they close factories and companies to outsource jobs? Why is it our responsibility to bail out the mistakes of those in power so they stay in power? The message given by Fox echoes distraction tactics given by Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Reagan, Bush I & II, Obama and all others ensuring complacency of the masses while select families remain in control of the world’s wealth. Another, almost humorous, distraction tactic Fox brought up was the epidemic of H1N1, the swine flu. This tactic has been used before, but the short attention span of those raised by television have forgotten. For evidence, research the swine flu epidemic of 1976 that was accompanied with very few deaths from disease and many complications from the immunization shots. There is even an old “60 Minutes” story on YouTube (look for “CBS documentary on 1976 Swine Flu”) that was quickly removed from television and set precedent for media censorship on the issue. Among the other rabble-rousing methods used, Fox could not resist detesting the policies of indigenous leaders that have gained power through the people’s power and not corporations’ funding. There was no reason or critique given for the need to remove leaders such as Hugo Chavez, but none was needed for the Pavlovian crowd that applauded in fear of dissension. This is the same way they applauded leaders being developed through El Centro Fox — a presidential library-turned-think tank that
resembles a friendlier Wilhelm Institute, the Rockefeller-funded German training center for the leaders of the Third Reich. I assume El Centro Fox will produce bureaucratic and technocratic minions, such as non-Presidente Calderón who stole the election from Obrador using similar techniques used by Bush in Florida. The government of Mexico recognized Calderón’s false victory after heavy pressure from diplomats and corporations of the United States. Does anyone see a pattern here? I agree with Fox on one topic and the best quote he has possibly ever said, “We all have holes.” He reminded us that the governments of the United States, Mexico, the state of New Mexico and the University itself all have holes. In all fairness, Fox was discussing the deficits of financial budgets, but anyone with the slightest idea of what is going on knows what kind of holes are responsible for these financial woes. I thank Fox for a wonderful case study about a man who rose to power to protect the power of a few, while telling the people to their faces that it is up to them to work hard and get through these tough times brought upon them by those in power. Please do some research and use critical thinking and logic about what is going on in the world today. It is bigger than hip-hop, celebrities, swine flu, recessions, etc. This is big business. We need to increase awareness so we can start taking care of ourselves and our communities instead of providing blood, sweat and tears to oil the cogs. I challenge myself and everyone who reads this to remember we are all one and in this together. Jedrek Lamb UNM Alumnus

Team to approach new strategy with QB position by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

AILY LOBO
Apparently, two quarterbacks are better than one — which underscores just how desperate first-year head football coach Mike Locksley is to find a spark at the position. Visibly frustrated by how quarterbacks Donovan Porterie and B.R. Holbrook played in Saturday’s 37-13 shellacking to Air Force, Locksley said he will try the committee approach against in-state rival NMSU on Saturday. “Based on the package we put together, the first play of our opening drive will dictate who our starter will be,” Locksley said. “If one of them separates themselves by manufacturing drives, he’ll be the guy that gets the brunt of the work. If it’s stale
and stagnant, then we’re going to try to jumpstart it with the other guy.” This week, the Lobos will take a fantasy-football approach, employing the flex option at quarterback. However, Locksley added that “the bulk of the work” will be awarded to whichever quarterback is the piston to the Lobos’ seemingly faulty engine. “Neither one of them have been great,” Locksley said. “In games, they’ve both been pretty average.” Porterie, who got the start against the Falcons, went 4-of-8 for 29, except he forced an ill-advised bullet into a pane-sized window and was subsequently intercepted, leading to a 38-yard return by Air Force’s Jon Davis that put the Falcons up 17-0.

Renovated Pit to host NCAA in 2012 Staff Report Daily Lobo
UNM’s new-look basketball arena, The Pit, will host first and second-round men’s games in 2012. The games are scheduled for mid-March. The NCAA announced preliminary round sites for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA men’s basketball tournaments on Monday. UNM Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs said in a statement that this wouldn’t have happened without financial support from Gov. Bill Richardson and the State Legislature. “It’s great to see the NCAA Men’s
Basketball Championship return to Albuquerque and The Pit,” Krebs said. Four games are slated for the first round of the tournament at The Pit on March 15. The two second-round games are scheduled for March 17. It’s the 10th time UNM hosted the men’s NCAA basketball tournament, which has played a total of 37 games in Albuquerque since 1968 and the first time Albuquerque has hosted the men’s basketball tournament since 2005, when The Pit hosted a regional semifinal and final. “The NCAA men’s basketball tournament was not coming back to The
Pit without the renovations that are currently being made,” Krebs said. “So the return of the investment is already being seen. With eight teams coming, that’s roughly $2 to $3 million economic boon to our community.” The nationally televised games will showcase The Pit’s renovations, said Greg Remington, associate athletics director for Administration and Media Relations. “Our fans will have seen them for almost two years before the NCAA tournament comes to town,” he said. “It is something that is going to appeal every fan — not just Lobo fans — that walk through its doors.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky football coach acquitted last week in the death of a player says there are no winners in what he called a “terrible tragedy.” Former Pleasure Ridge Park High School coach David Jason Stinson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the case was “never Jason Stinson vs. Max Gilpin.” “There are no winners in this case, that’s what people have to understand,” Stinson said in a phone interview from New York, where he
Quarterback
was making the rounds of television talk shows. A jury deliberated last week for about 90 minutes before finding Stinson not guilty of reckless homicide and wanton endangerment. Prosecutors argued Stinson ran his players to the point of abuse last August, causing Gilpin, a 15-year-old sophomore offensive lineman, to suffer exertional heatstroke. Gilpin died at a Louisville hospital three days after collapsing of heat stroke, sepsis and multiple organ failure. Stinson’s attorneys argued Gilpin was on medication and supplements that affected his body temperature and the
practice was not unusual. Stinson, 37, is set to return to the classroom at Pleasure Ridge Park on Thursday, a week after his acquittal. Gilpin’s parents have filed a civil suit against Stinson and several other school officials. The case is scheduled for trial in February 2010. Because of the civil suit, Stinson declined to speak about the day Gilpin collapsed, but called the teen’s death a “terrible tragedy.” “Life will never be normal again. It’s something that we’ll always remember,” Stinson said. “We’re not pushing Max to the side.”
where we sped the tempos up, and he was able to get the ball snapped and executed the way I like it,” Locksley said. “Obviously, he was a part of the two touchdown drives — the first touchdown drives of the year.” That’s been one of the biggest contrasts between the two quarterbacks, Locksley said. “At times when we go out fastpaced tempo, Donovan hasn’t always gone as fast as we would’ve liked,” he said. It seems, though, that Holbrook was just the benefactor of Wright’s success. Otherwise, Holbrook didn’t go through his progressions as quickly as Porterie. But Locksley said that will come with more time in the offensive system. UNM, 2-of-12 on third down against Air Force, has converted only 7-of-41 of its third-down attempts on the season — good for 117th in the nation. Turnovers have also affected
the Lobos like the Bubonic Plague. UNM is -2.67 in turnover margin, having given the ball away 10 times. Just to give fans some perspective in five carries, two of which went for touchdowns, tailback Wright, in five carries has accounted for 52 percent (12) of the Lobos’ 23 points generated on offense. The defense scored a touchdown against Tulsa. No matter what, Porterie said the Lobos can’t rely strictly on the running game. If they do, eventually opponents will stack the line — and stuff the holes.
