Witness reports gun sighting on campus
Dracula’s new set of fangs
Staff Report Daily Lobo
An individual reported seeing a man on campus carrying what appeared to be a gun on Tuesday morning. UNMPD officers searched the area, near Logan Hall, and issued the allclear. Police have not made any arrests in connection with the incident. University spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said the investigation is ongoing. TextMe UNM, the University’s emergency notification system, sent two messages to those signed up for the service — one at 11:54 a.m. telling people to avoid the area and one at 12:12 p.m. announcing the all-clear. The subject line of the first message was “Public reports of male with gun,” and the message read, “Police are investigating. Avoid southwest portion of main campus, especially Logan Hall.” In the second message, the subject line was “All clear,” and the message was “Police have resolved the issue.” McKinsey, who spoke on behalf of UNMPD because the department’s public information officers were unavailable, said UNMPD got a call around 11:30 Tuesday morning requesting officers at the southwest
To register for the TextMe UNM service, visit TextMe.unm.edu portion of campus. “They got a call from an individual over in the vicinity of Logan Hall going, ‘I’ve seen an individual who I believe is carrying a gun,’” she said. “Police take calls like that very seriously, so they dispatched officers to the scene.” McKinsey said UNMPD always welcomes tips about suspicious activity. “Our police will tell you that they always want individuals who believe they have seen something suspicious or believe that there is some cause for concern to contact them,” she said. “They are going to investigate it. They take it very seriously.” McKinsey said UNMPD officers thoroughly searched the area before issuing the all-clear, but they didn’t catch the suspect. “They were not only looking around the area of Logan, but then they had to start looking around surrounding buildings,” she said. “Once they had done that, once they had talked to the witness and once they felt confident that they could issue the all-clear, then it was OK for people just to go about their business.”

Enrollment up at NM universities by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
New Mexican universities have seen increased enrollment this fall, and they’re chalking it up to online courses, new recruitment practices and, above all, the economy. With roughly 10 percent more students attending, representatives from Eastern and Western New Mexico universities, CNM, New Mexico State and UNM all say the economy has encouraged New Mexicans to return to school. Viola Florez, cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Higher Education Department, said a combination of the stimulus bill and the increasing need for a college degree in the workplace have contributed to the enrollment trend. “They’re figuring out that they really do need to go to college,” she said. “Today’s jobs require a minimum of a high school degree, and most of them require a college degree. I think that a lot of our recent high school graduates are doing their college degree.” Florez said stimulus funding
has given students more opportunities for financial aid. “The stimulus funds have increased Pell Grants and work-study funding,” she said. “That, also, is always a support for our students and that has been made available to them.” UNM Vice President of Enrollment Management Carmen Alvarez Brown said the economic crisis has been a factor in the University’s nearly 6 percent enrollment increase, but new recruitment efforts also helped. “I need to be realistic,” she said. “What percentage of the (increase) is the economy and what percentage is attributed to our efforts? And I would say half and half.” Brown said enrollment management now does on-the-spot admissions and has improved e-mail communications. Candy Guzie, associate director of Institutional Research at NMSU, said Las Cruces was not hit particularly hard by the economic crisis, but NMSU still saw almost an 8 percent enrollment increase. She said more courses offered online and
higher branch campus enrollment helped NMSU’s overall enrollment increase. “Economics is a condition that we’re all dealing with,” she said. “Fortunately, for the institution, you actually see people taking the opportunity to go to school or start a different career or something.” ENMU spokesman Wendel Sloan said the small university in Portales had the largest enrollment in their 75-year history this fall. He attributed this to people returning to school because of the recession but also the “135-rule,” which grants in-state status to all students living within 135 miles of the ENMU campus, even if they’re from Texas. New Mexico Tech had relatively stagnant enrollment this fall, but spokesman Thomas Guengerich said the university’s enrollment peaked in 2008. “It could very well be that we saw our 10 percent increase in fall 2008,” he said. “And NMSU, UNM, Eastern — it’s their turn this year.”

The board decided to delay voting on the UNM Master Plan of Development to allow more input from the UNM community.
Regents still not ready to vote on Master Plan by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
The Board of Regents postponed voting on UNM Master Plan of Development — again. Steve Beffort, vice president of Institutional Support Services, sent President David Schmidly a letter on Sept. 23 asking to delay the Master Plan vote. The Master Plan was slated for approval at the Tuesday regents meeting.

and hope all students find you.” Brown said New Mexico Tech might not have seen as much of an enrollment increase this year because recruiters weren’t proactive enough. “They need to be more
aggressive in their recruitment plans,” she said. Guzie said Tech’s lack of branch campuses — which is where NMSU attributed most of their gains — might also have been a factor in their slight enrollment decrease.
The new dorms and the Master Plan are connected, Beffort said, but do not depend on each other for approval. Doug Fields, president of the Faculty Senate, said the regents should consider input from the surrounding community before expanding UNM. “While the Faculty Senate appreciates the extended time to consider the Master Plan, we hope that common concerns can be addressed for the mutual benefit of all,” he said. The regents still need to hear many opinions on the Master Plan, Fields said. The Faculty Senate suggested creating a Master Plan development board that would give voting rights concerning the Master Plan to groups including students, faculty and neighborhood organizations. “What we have informally proposed is that UNM have a UNM and Albuquerque development board,” Fields said. “This will give voting rights to a broad spectrum of internal and external constituents in order to come to a consensus on the Master Plan.”
In a statement delivered by fellow senator Abdullah Feroze, ASUNM President Monika Roberts said she supports the Master Plan delay because it gives students extra time to make comments about it. “I’d like to thank President Schmidly and the Board for keeping the Master Plan open for comment and additional feedback,” Roberts said in the statement. “Since the Plan has been open I have done my best to get undergraduates to leave feedback. I will continue these efforts until the Master Plan is finalized.” Roberts said she is in favor of the proposed ACC dorms because the company has done a good job getting student input on the future dorms. “As a student representative, I have seen many of the ACC communities around the region including the University of Arizona, Texas A&M and the University of Houston,” Roberts said. “I would like to express my support for this company. At each of the campuses I visited, they had a positive impact on student housing and student life in general.”
from page 1
Beffort said the regents have to approve the Master Plan of Development, but voting on the project has been put off since December. “We’ve had a nine-month delay from our original delivery date in attempt to get more input,” Beffort said. “What we don’t want to do at this point after putting so much time into it is try to slam something down somebody’s throat that they’re not comfortable with.” Beffort said the Master Plan delay will not affect plans to build new dorms with the student housing developer American Campus Communities. The new dorm location is planned for south campus, according to the Master Plan. Beffort said the regents need to have more discussion on the dorms’ placement location, and the new dorm outline will be presented to the regents sometime this fall. “American Campus Communities has been working with our Master Plan group to decide on appropriateness of location,” he said. “The project will have to be approved on by the regents.”

FROM THE WEB In “Assistant coach: Locksley hit me,” published Monday, the Daily Lobo reported that Athletics Director Paul Krebs reprimanded football head coach Mike Locksley after an altercation between Locksley and receivers coach J.B. Gerald. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘lazo’ Posted Monday “Disgusting. Anyone, student or staff member at UNM, should be disappointed at this kind of behavior.” by ‘abqwoman’ Posted Tuesday “Final comments on this staff member’s fitness to be a UNM employee: Two minimum requirements of a head coach are: 1. Ability to make administrative/procedural decisions and judgments. and 2. Ability to foster a cooperative work environment. Interestingly, UNM’s head football coach has only the minimum education of a bachelor’s degree. The assistant he struck in the face is a dissertation away from a Penn State Ph.D. Coach Locksley must have problems fostering a cooperative work environment with assistants whose graduate work is from a Big 10 school while he stopped with a bachelor’s from Towson University. Which man is more likely to encourage academic work beyond a bachelor’s for his student athletes? Which man has demonstrated more mental self-discipline? But which man got sent home after the so-called ‘altercation?’” by ‘JubJub’ Posted Tuesday “Why is it that the victim assistant coach gets sent home on administrative leave when the perpetrator has a talk with the athletics director vice president? And the words that come out of their mouths about the assistant coach, ‘We would welcome him back’ makes it seem like the assistant coach was the wrongdoer. Shame on UNM Athletics. … Oh yeah, by the way, coach Locksley makes $750,000 a year plus bonuses. I wonder if he gets a performance bonus this year, when the rest of the University staff gets nothing, not even a state wage increase.” by ‘Mark’ Posted Tuesday “Ridiculous! Until now I was all in favor of giving coach Locksley some time to rebuild the program even though things haven’t looked very good so far. I really don’t think coach Locksley is capable of leading the Lobo football program. As a leader you resolve disputes and differences, not create them. Like many others have commented, if that kind of incident had taken place outside the athletic department somebody would have been fired.” by ‘Buck’ Posted Tuesday “In the real world if an employee strikes another employee he is fired on the spot. In the real world that company could not afford repercussions such as a lawsuit or poor press. Krebs should fire Locksley or step down regardless of whether the Lobos’ record is 0-4. If Locksley punched Krebs would he get fired? Simple, cut and dry, fire him or step down!”

LETTERS Lobo article gives the wrong impression of GPSA meetings Editor, I’m glad the Daily Lobo is covering GPSA meetings, even the oh-so-boring and technical Constitutional Convention we held this past Saturday. A special thanks should go out to the 16 GPSA Representatives, and President Lissa Knudsen, who attended and seriously contributed to our efforts to improve our student government. Unfortunately the Lobo headline, “GPSA set to open council meetings,” gives the impression that open meetings are something GPSA is considering for the first time. In addition, the content of the article blurs several intertwined discussions about cyber meetings and broadcasting meetings into one. GPSA Council meetings have always been open to the public. What we were discussing, in terms of open meetings, was simply when to pass the GPSA Open Meetings Act Resolution: at the first or the
Honduran military coup needs stronger response from U.S. Editor, It has now been three months since the democratically elected president of the Republic of Honduras was forced into exile after a military coup. Since President Manuel Zelaya was forced from office at the barrel of a gun for attempting to redistribute wealth to the lower classes, he recently returned incognito and has been holed up in the Brazilian embassy in the capital Tegucigalpa. The puppet regime that illegally took power since this national violation has made it common practice to murder and torture

second meeting of the semester. This year, the GPSA Council had to meet on the first week of school because our constitution requires that we meet every month and school started on the last full week of August. This got some people thinking that maybe it was unfair to have new representatives vote on something so important with only a couple of days notice – especially since our constitution already covers most open meetings requirements and the recommendations coming out of the convention strengthen those requirements. As to the discussion reported about audio and video conferencing, it was really two intermingled discussions that were confused together both at the meeting as well as (understandably) in the Daily Lobo article. The primary discussion had to do with allowing GPSA subcommittees to meet virtually. With the way the language was written, that means conference calls, which would exclude the public from participating. Right now anyone can attend both the GPSA Council meetings as well as subcommittee meetings. If subcommittees were to be able to meet via conference calls, only
those in the know would be able to “attend.” That’s just plain wrong – which is why I cast the tie-breaking vote against allowing subcommittees to meet virtually. There was never a serious discussion of the whole GPSA Council being able to meet virtually. In fact, the Constitutional Convention specifically recommended that members will have to be physically present to achieve quorum. The side discussion, which was not on the agenda because it did not pertain to proposed changes to the GPSA Constitution, was about broadcasting GPSA Council meetings. This issue has come up before and previous administrations decided that GPSA can’t afford to broadcast its meetings. If someone could come up with a cost-free way to do so, I would jump at the opportunity, but right now we can’t afford the equipment or the camera operators. In the meantime, giving prompt, adequate notice and keeping physical meetings open to everyone will serve our public well.
Zelaya supporters, shut down opposition radio stations and imposed martial law. How has the U.S. responded to this violation of democracy in its own hemisphere? The U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States Lewis Amselem said, “The regime should manage security with restraint and caution. President Zelaya should exercise leadership in urging his followers insistently with no mixed message to express their views peacefully.” Hypocrisy drips from each word of the ambassador. Not only has the interim government shown no restraint at all in its treatment of Zelaya supporters, it is a testament to the character of Zelaya supporters that they have chosen to listen to their angels and have not used retaliatory violence
against the security forces of the state who have maimed, beaten and shot them dead for the past three months. Once again, the political leadership of the U.S. seems complicit in that God-awful tradition of claiming to support democracy in rhetoric but supporting tyranny and slavery in action. What will happen next is unclear, to say the least. The puppet regime is threatening to break into the Brazilian embassy to arrest, and most likely murder, President Zalaya. Let us pray that they are not so foolish, because it is very unlikely that such an action would lead to anything less than a bloody civil war.

Plays put unique spin on traditional ‘Dracula’ tale by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Dracula swoops into UNM this weekend as a harbinger of the Halloween season. “The Land Beyond the Forest: Dracula and Swoop,” produced by the UNM Theatre Department in conjunction with the Tricklock Theater Company, features the original adventure of everyone’s favorite vampire and a new tale set over the skies of Manhattan. Both plays are written by Mac Wellman and directed by Bill Walters. “There are several versions of ‘Dracula,’ but this version is written by Mac Wellman, who is one of the most experimental and influential American playwrights,” Walters said. “He’s trying to do two things at the same time. On the one hand, he’s trying to stay faithful to the text, but on the other hand, he’s trying to add something new to that, and that’s our challenge, too.” Wellman will also be coming from New York to see the show, adding more pressure to an already challenging production, Walters said. The play will be performed in the Carlisle Performance Space rather than in a traditional theater. Walters said the gym has more space and provides an unconventional setting. “Mac Wellman as well as myself find the conventional theater architecture a bit too confining, and we wanted to challenge people’s expectations,” he said. Stage Manager Nicole Ouellette

“The Land Beyond the Forest: Dracula and Swoop” Carlisle Performance Space Oct. 2 - 11 www.unmtickets.com said this rendition of “Dracula” has a darker and more grotesque mood than previous productions, and the cast and crew strove to emphasize the difference. “We had to find a way to make it different than the ‘Dracula’ we all know and love,” Ouellette said. “We wanted to add more obscure elements of blood and other bodily fluids. The actors will hopefully be in a few centimeters of blood by the end of the show.” Student Serouj Bingham, who stars as Dracula, said he tried to break away from the traditional expectations for the character. “In terms in coming up with a character, he’s a monster,” Bingham said. “The only thing about this production is he is not a monster. He’s not Frankenstein or the werewolf. He just happens to be a noble gentleman with a penchant for sucking blood.” Bingham said Dracula is a great character because of his ability to transcend societal rules. “He’s a person who just meets his needs,” he said. “All of my dialog

UNMH gallery benefits artists, uplifts patients by Hunter Riley

“Sacred and Secular”
Hospitals usually aren’t known for high-class art, but cardiologist John Abrams is trying to change that. For about 20 years, the UNM Hospital has provided space in its hallways on four floors for artists to show their work, Abrams said. The hospital recently named the gallery after Abrams to honor his dedication to the gallery, which has exhibited more than 100 shows. Communication and Journalism professor Miguel Gandert said he was the first artist to display his art in the hospital gallery about 20 years ago, before he was a professor. Gandert now has a show of black and white photography prints up at UNMH. “One of the great things for me was that before I was a professor I was a struggling artist. The hospital gave people like me a viable place to show work, and serious work,” he said. “The beauty of this hospital is that we have this changing gallery where we get to see a lot of different kinds of art and different artists.” Abrams said having art in the hospital has had a positive impact on patients because many of them don’t have the opportunity to go to art galleries.
Photographs by Miguel Gandert Fifth Floor of UNMH Through Nov. 20
“There is a school of thought that goes along with alternative medicine folks that suggests paintings or beautiful things are able to improve the mood and that makes people feel they are respected,” Abrams said. “But we haven’t tried to measure it. But my measure is people who stop and look at the painting even though they might not be headed for the gallery. That’s what I feel is a successful approach to the community.” Gandert said his exhibition fits right in when it comes to showing off New Mexico’s culture to patients. “A lot of the clientele of the hospital are people who come from these different communities,” he said. “This is a New Mexico hospital, so why not show art about New Mexico?” Abrams said he and another hospital employee came up with the idea for the gallery and brought it to

is very direct. A lot of characters are struggling against a Victorian mold they have to operate within, but my character is completely free to step out of that.” Walters said the second play, “Swoop,” is written as if Wellman compiled the outtakes from the first play. “Swoop,” a play about Dracula in New York, is performed between the first and second acts of “Dracula” to provide perspective, Walters said. “I got the idea to put ‘Swoop’ in between act one and act two of ‘Dracula’ to create a counterpoint,” Walters said. “So we don’t just have the Dracula story, but also we have a more
authentic version of Mac Wellman’s dramatic voice.” The entire production runs over two hours with two intermissions, but the audience gets to see two plays, Ouellette said. “It’s going to be a lengthy show,” she said. “But it’s all intertwined and it will continuously flow. Hopefully, it’ll keep everyone engaged and in depth with the story.” Walters said that during intermissions, viewers can visit a model Victorian community constructed by the production crew in the Carlisle Courtyard. “We’re going to have party lights
and an environment out there,” he said. “People can come out during intermission and have a cup of tea.” Walters said the audience will be entranced by this elaborate production. “I think people who are familiar with the ‘Dracula’ story will see those characters, they’ll see that story happening,” he said. “At the same time, if you are a little more acquainted with what experimental theater is about, people will also find it challenging in that way. The whole idea is to keep people a little off-balance and opening their minds.”
“(Bill Johnson), who was the head administrator at the time, gave us a good budget of about $10,000, and it’s gotten to the point now where we have a full-time arts director,” he said. “We have a surprisingly positive effect on the institution because lots of people who don’t look at art now get to see it.” Gandert said the current photos
at the hospital gallery are images he used in a book called Nuevo México Profundo (Profoundly New Mexico) in 2000. “I’ve actually had more people who have seen it here and commented than in the original place that we hung it,” he said. “People know to come here if they want to look at good art.”
Gallery from page 5 the attention of the hospital administrative staff. “Many hospitals have art up on the walls but most of it isn’t fancy art, or at least it’s not art that you would buy,” he said. The hospital supported the initiative to have art in the hallways at the outset and have continued to support it throughout the years, Abrams said.
